Finally got time to type this up. Great news, a couple days ago I was telling my friend S how to have a lucid dream, and that very night they had their first one! I feel so accomplished

Night 3

Dream #1 (Fragments, Non-Lucid):
Frag1: Taking something similar to IB tests, but all of them combined.

Frag2: Screenshotting A's (illegible) vdeo a bunch of times. Laughing really hard.

Woke at 3:10 and WBTB.


Dream #2 (Non-Lucid):
Incredibly stressful dream. I was doing the SAT again, but it was online at home and I couldn't log in. I was very distressed over this for some reason, screaming and crying and hitting myself, but no one cared. In fact, my parental units scornfully dismissed and perhaps even blamed me.

I continued crying until 8:00 pm when time was up. The distribution of my time spent on each section popped up on the screen, even though I had been stuck on the sign-in screen the whole time. I screamed that my parents didn't care about or understand me and my mom was like, "Oh, you think you have misunderstood problems? Do you wanna hear my problems?"

I said yes and she grabbed Nile's ear and stabbed her fingernail into it [I actually saw a mark there IWL the day before]. I shouted in shock, grabbing her wrist to stop her.

Later I posted online about my "panda" in Japanese and someone was confused; I explained that Nile vaguely resembled a panda. 4:20 WBTB.


Dream #3 (Non-Lucid):
I was telling people about my SAT dream, in an apocalyptic world with J and some random guy and eventually my ex. The random guy kept messing with my Chromebook, saying it was "cruel" of me not to charge it for him. He was annoying but manageable, so we didn't get rid of him. At some point we went out to find something and left a note so he wouldn't freak out.

Later texted a Japanese friend on LINE, who said he would show me his "last place" in volleyball. 7:35 WBTB.


Dream #4 (Fragments, Non-Lucid):
Frag1: Post-apocalyptic world where I was worried about my dreams. Grades were involved somehow. Talking about someone's mom and the difference between two things.

Frag2: Got an ad claiming Wattpad caused hair growth, tiredness, blurry eyes, poor posture, et cetera. Drugs "more prone to coffee-vomit," according to Wiki. Searched something up on YouTube. This dream was so unhinged. 8:10 WBTB.


Night 4

Dream #1 (Fragments, Non-Lucid):
Frag1: Someone hated bubbles, tried to be eco-friendly by discovering them online(?), but got mocked instead. Pre-K teacher with 76 students tried to defend them, and the one doing the mocking said "Scary." (She was kind of a Karen).

Frag2: I was sifting through worn-out books from my dad's generation to find the meaning of life. 4:00 WBTB.


Dream #2 (Fragment):
Person was trying to share their interests but kept getting shut down. 5:00 WBTB.


Dream #3 (Non-Lucid):
Dramatic story about a kid who was separated from his mom at a very young age and never grew taller. He made friends on a snowy mountain by grabbing their sled and hopping on. Later he found out his mom was alive (I, as the NEO, was unimpressed with this development). They exchanged souls for a short time; hers resided in a horse tail, and his in a candle.

A day passed and I became him. I'd grown taller, but she couldn't even tell! Z also invited me to play Minecraft to grind for something, as it was the last day of an event. 5:30 WBTB.

After that I kept drifting off and waking up again every 10 minutes. Had multiple dreams about alarms (there were none) and false awakenings. In one of them Z forced N to get up and come downstairs with him, but when I woke up N was in bed and Z wasn't even home. It was incredibly realistic, so I was surprised. Had to get up for school at 6:15.


Night 5

Dream #1 (Fragments, Non-Lucid):
Frag1: Featured a celebrity named Awami, whom people were absolutely obsessed with.

Frag2: Left my my books in a classroom.

Frag3: I was in a class doing activities, one of which was to make new friends. I joined a group of three, and another person came over to ask questions. When they left I said, "Sayonara and congrats, you now have three friends." 4:20 WBTB.


Dream #2 (Fragments, Non-Lucid):
Frag1: A girl was writing a positive energy book.

Frag2: In my house but more apocalyptic. There was a strange dog on the steps, and I encouraged it to sniff me. This dream was really long but I couldn't quite remember it Woke at 6:15.


Night 6

Dream #1 (Fragments, Non-Lucid):
Frag1: A and I had different (illegible). I tried to show how the traits we shared should mean we shared that too but (illegible).

Frag2: At some point we were sitting in class, and at another point J and I were in a car, and there was some BL plot, then it was my (illegible) and I was like "I don't needa park I'm a safe driver" or something and J called me an idiot.


Dream #2 (Lucid):
Plot1: Was in something similar to a program I did over the summer. Some girl put makeup on me, much to my discomfort, and for some reason there were clothes on the table. When I got home, two nerds were in the process of leaving when my mom asked them about signing up for colleges not listed on Common App. In response they gave her a HUGE booklet, like the size of It by Stephen King.

Plot2: L sent a pic of me floating upside down in the air on my bike. I assumed she edited it and responded with something vaguely depressing.

Plot3: There was a tick on my stomach. I asked my mom to get it off for me, but it crawled off, apparently not having bitten yet. (Though it was engorged and there was a dark spot on my skin). I chased it in the dark, asking, "Should I kill it?!"

She said yes, so I raised a fist, but then she shouted for me to stop because it would run away (it was surprisingly fast). The whole time I had been wondering why she was acting so weird, and right before the dream dissolved from stress, I thought, "Oh, I see. This is a dream." Unknown time WBTB.


Dream #3 (Fragments, Non-Lucid):
Frag1: Was looking at a painting of a girl about to punch another girl, but deciding not to because she didn't want to bloody her fists.

Frag2: The world was ending. That's all I remember. Woke at 6:15.


Night 7:

Dream #1 (Fragment, Non-Lucid):
When I woke from this dream, it felt like I had been asleep for years. Doctors were murdering part-time workers, lighting their hats on fire. One seemed particularly without empathy, and I liked her.


Dream #2 (Non-Lucid):
Possible side plot about boy and girl riding a train.

Main plot: I was doing SAT work. My mom said I had to finish it in one day; she kept nagging me. Walking home from school, I saw a bunch of Ramune marbles and picked them up. My car passed by, my familial unit going on a trip without me, so I had to run after them by foot.

When I finally caught up and found them in a cave-like area, I yelled, "Why do you always drive away without me?! I had to run to catch up!"

Z just made fun of me, so I turned around and left without saying a word. I hopped some stones across a river and climbed a short rock wall, my mom chasing me from behind.

"You need to do your work," she said when she reached me. "What you're doing right now doesn't look like work. If you score in the top 10, you can go to a good college. Why is a passing score so low… 3.5 GPA is acceptable in this country!!!" With a manic smile on her face, she started banging her head against the wall.

"Stop! Stop!" I yelled. "There are 330 million people, of course the average isn't going to be that high! Stop banging your head!"

She turned around and started talking about work again, and I sobbed, "Why do you hate me?!" trying desperately to control her with the NEO, but it wasn't working. It's only with this tyrant version of her that it is completely ineffective.

She grinned sweetly. "Because you inspire me [to hate you]."

Woke at an unknown time. After that I had another dream, but I don't remember it at all.


Night 8:

Dream #1 (Non-Lucid):
I don't know how, but I went to sleep at 12:00 a.m. and woke up at 12:20 a.m. with a dream. I would think it's REM rebound, but it's not like I'm sleep deprived. Well, I guess I am compared to the amount I was getting over the summer. I don't know.

I was in the basement with Z, and he mentioned something that made me want to watch a horror movie. With a grin hiding his fear, he said, "Leave, then!"

"You leave!" I shot back. Woke at unknown time and WBTB.


Dream #2 (Non-Lucid):
Plot1: I was with K and J. Something they said upset me, so I went quiet. They were trying to (illegible), so I went to S's house, perhaps planning to do work. I stood there not intending to go in or even knock, but I was spotted and they opened the door. Nile ran out for some reason, but I caught him.

In the parking lot a little girl was being bullied by an older boy—I think he had stolen her basketball/football. Nile was barking at them so I let him go. (Actually, it was only implied I let him go; this scene instantly changed from one to the next.) He barked at the boy and freed the ball, then lay down all cute for the little girl.

Plot2: I was a writer for some weird publishing team. S was in a different one and I found their book online. It featured me committing suicide and was rated "the least printed book of the year."


Dream #3 (Non-Lucid):
Not apocalyptic, but there was some "vegetable disease" going around. We also had another dog who looked exactly like the beanie baby Spunky (which J gave to me a couple days ago); it was really attached to me. I think there was a third dog as well.

At some point my mom came home and got a scratch on her finger which I could feel (it hurt), but she didn't seem to be infected.

Somehow our room caught on fire so I ran in to grab my valuables, then came back downstairs to get Spunky. My mom picked it up by the nose, which I yelled at her for. I wasn't allowed to go to S's house but I think I went anyway. On the way there I heard a radio show about covid and illness myths, that it's not your fault and that washing your hands isn't counterproductive.

It was about 8:00 now, and until 9:30 I would keep waking up every 5 to 15 minutes.


Dream #4 (Fragment, Non-Lucid):
I attended a meeting for aromantics.


Dream #5 (Non-Lucid):
Searched up information about the veggie virus, apparently it was a specific plant from India that could only kill you if you touched it. So, if I wanted to, I could safely walk around outside. (Was asleep for 15 minutes.)


Dream #6 (Non-Lucid):
Apocalyptic world, we were in a strange house watching an enormous floating keyboard blot out the sun. Went inside when it got dark, I sang a song to "fill" the room.

Someone started knocking on the door and I knew it was a killer (vaguely lucid?). He was trying to stab through the door, so I stabbed through it as well, impaling him multiple times, but he kept recovering. I NEO-summoned Omori and the killer "accidentally" hurt him and, devastated over it, left.

Suddenly I woke up (FA) inside another strange place, wondering if it was a double illusion and I had hurt someone on my side as well. Then I woke up for real. (10 minutes.)


Dream #7 (Fragment, Non-Lucid):
Searching the library for books on the veggie virus. [I don't know why the veggie virus was in so many of this night's dreams.] (7 minutes.)


Dream #8 (Fragment, Non-Lucid):
Someone invented a device that improved circulation, with numerous other health benefits. (5 minutes.)


(Another fragment, but it's completely illegible so I won't count it.)


Dream #9 (Non-Lucid):
False awakening. Rooted through my bed, which was cluttered with boxes for some reason. I found three missing headphones and a bunch of Nerds candy, among other things.


Dream #10 (Non-Lucid):
J and I went to our old teacher Ms. B for advice; something about our birthdays. I only remember her saying that parents should use both punishment and reinforcement techniques on their children.

Dream #1
I wake up on vessel. I was a for some reason a little bit confused but I don't know why. So I started walk around the vessel. It was probably early morning - it was still dark but light was getting brighter. I saw we have mooring operation. I was supriased that nobody called me to work and I felt a little bit guilty because of that. I ask one seaman why nobody called me and he told me "easy it's only bunker operation" (bunkering - it is when vessel is getting fuel or other technical liquids). But something was fishy for me. We was along shore. Literally we was in port so it must be mooring! I come down via stairs and I saw people preparing mooring lines. I joined to them but still I had feeling that something is wrong.


Dream #2
It was distopia future where every person is spyed by goverment. I knew that I'm from past but I didn't remembered how I got to future. I was in some sort of building. The interior looked like shopping mall and evething was super bright and white. I entered to tunnel with moving sidewalk. After few moment I passed gate with detector and police wanted to arrest me. What happen next - I don't know because I woke up.


DF #1
I was in weird school on weird lesson (it was more like exams) outside the building. I remember that somebody (maybe me?) broke window.



LD #1
After work I made nap but with WILD intention. I wanted to check how effective is my awareness training. I don't know when but I fell asleep but it was more like very very deep relax because when I woke up I didn't feel like I fell asleep. I thought "If I woke up by myself before alarm clock that mean I'm probably right before REM state. Let's check if I can enter to dream". And again I started WILD. I don't know when but I entered to dream but not with fully awareness.
I was in my cabine but the cabin was different than my true cabine. I was checking pressured air valve and I felt air comming by air hose. Chief officer was in my cabine and I was waiting he leave me alone so I can focus on my LD. But before it happened I woke up.
I tried to re-enter to dream. I was very close. I was hearing sound hipnagogs and I felt my heavy breathing and fast heartbeat (it is common for me when I'm entering to dream. I dont know if this is kinetic hipnagos or true feeling but I never was woken by this). I felt my bottom jaw is shifted because I was lying on my face. That shifting made tension on my teeth and it created discomfort. Probably it was hipnagog because when I woke up to change my posiotion it disapeared.

Pre-WBTB

Fragment
Frieza from Dragonball Z is at a Home Depot store.
Recorded at 5AM, at the beginning of sleep cycle 5.

WBTB

During my 10 minutes of wake-time, I planned what I would do if I had a false awakening at my home. After taking the 8mg Galantamine and using the bathroom, I walked down the hall doing my series of reality checks. Then I rubbed my hands together. I also decided I should interact with the environment in some way, so I licked the wall. Yep. Gotta commit man. I wander around the house a bit, and decided I should find ways to teleport to the forest (step one of "The Plan"). I decide that I will summon an image of a forest on the living room TV and then step through it. Path forward established and my 10 minutes spent, I was content to lay down in bed. I tossed around for awhile and thought about just about every current life problem I have. Maybe I was too awake. After what felt like forever, I finally drifted off. No WILD though unfortunately.

Post-WBTB

Seeking The Elusive Fantasy Forest™
I'm waking up in my bed, and I immediately think to check for a false awakening.
I can breathe through my plugged nose.
I'm dreaming!
I decided to cycle through some more RCs just in case.
I look at my hands, and I have far more than five fingers on each hand. Yep. Dream.
I tried to see my nose on the left and right sides and I can. So according to that check I am awake.
To be fair I've never done that RC before so I didn't really know what to expect.
I default back to another nose-plug RC and I can still breathe. Definitely dreaming.
I recalled my plan from the WBTB prep, so I rubbed my hands and licked the wall. Yep.
It tasted like the real wall. Like paint.
I then find myself back in bed. Another false awakening.
I repeat the RCs, but this time my vision isn't quite coming to me.
I try to will my eyes to work. Nope.
I say "Heal my eyes!" It works a little bit. I say "HEAL MY EYES TIMES 1000!" It works a bit more.
This goes on for some time, and I'm getting annoyed.
I recall another technique where I "take off glasses I didn't know I was wearing".
I do this and clarity improves a lot.
Eventually my vision stabilizes to the point where I can focus on other things. Like my goals.
I can recall "The Plan" in it's entirety. Step one is to teleport to the fantasy forest.
I wander over to my living room, which now resembles a mixture of my actual living room and my friend M's.
My girlfriend S is there on the couch. I decide to play it cool and not tell her this is a dream.
Instead I say "Oh hello! How are you? I'm going into the TV now!"
I don't recall actually going through the TV, so I may have wandered away.
...
I find myself lucid in the garage later. I'm looking around for the Elusive Fantasy Forest™.
I look down, and hope that when I look up, the forest will be on the other side of the open garage door.
Nope.
Vivid green grass and neighborhood. At least that is consistent. It looks similar to how it did in my previous lucids.
I checked around the garage some more, looking for a door or something else I can use to teleport.
I find a storage cabinet and try to teleport Narnia-style, but no luck.
I lose my focus for a bit, and I end up walking out of the garage door and preparing to fly.
I kick off the ground hard and take flight. I specifically notice that my right leg doesn't hurt as I jump (In waking life I am recovering from surgery so jumping is normally out of the question).
I zoom around and enjoy the view. The grass looks even more vivid from up here. It takes on a pastel-like painting aesthetic.
As I take in the view I come to a realization.
There is nothing other than vivid green grass and dots of homes that look like legos from this high up, for as far as my eyes can see.
Maybe the reason I can't find my forest is because this entire goddamn dream-plane is a neighborhood.
I zoom around some more, and find myself using air-swimming to control finer turns. Haven't tried that before.
Also unusual, I land without losing lucidity. I remember that I still need to try this stupid teleporting thing.
I'm back at my garage now and I remember reading a tutorial somewhere on DV about "scrolling the world".
So I raised my hand as if I was about to swipe the world like an image in my phone pictures gallery, not really expecting this to work.
Except, against dream-rules, it does work despite my negative expectation. The entire world, my current view of it anyway, swipes to the left, and a new image slides in from the right, teleporting me somewhere new.
But of course, not the elusive Fantasy Forest™.
I see a big, vivid, blue ocean in front of me. The waves are almost caramel-like. They move too slowly. In other words, their viscosity is higher than it should be. They crash down lazily.
My family may have been there too, I can recall my Dad being present for sure.
I briefly consider exploring the bottom of the ocean because who knows what my brain would put there!
But I ignore the ocean and my family: I am on a mission dammit!
I turn to walk away from the ocean and I notice it is raining behind me, and there is a forest in the distance.
But then a car drives by in front of it. IT ISN'T A FANTASY FOREST! IT'S A REGULAR PRESENT DAY FOREST!
I start to think about other ways to reach the forest. In particular, I imagined it might be easier to seek out a campfire and go from there.
But despite my best efforts, before I reach the Elusive Fantasy Forest™ I find myself waking up, thinking I should try to record before I lose memory of this dream.
I wake.
Recorded at 7:45AM.

I'm at a house at night with several others, including coworkers. I feel slightly irritated at all the cars that are parked here. One area is covered by electric vehicles of all kinds, Tesla, Rivians, etc...

Autumn Competition 2023 - Night 8

1. Frog (LD)
I’m aware as I’m in bed, looking at a door at the end a small hallway at the end of a room.
I have to be careful sliding into this scene; I don’t want to lose it.
I cautiously begin to encourage my dream body to slide out of bed and into the scene. I stand up and begin moving forward. I head down the corridor, and think of full transformation. I begin to imagine Djinn transformation and see a turban in the shadow on the floor in front of me. I’ve been doing that too much lately…how about a cat? I begin to shrink down to a very small size. I feel my front limbs in front of me. I want to check the image in the mirror to my left, so I hop up. Instead of a cat, I see….a frog in the reflection! I walk a bit farther forward and check my reflection once again in the full body mirror to my right. This time I see a creepy zombie figure, with grayish streaks on the skin, blackened teeth, and a mouth that is ‘hissing’ gazing back at me – essentially a zombie me with only the front half of the body. It actually doesn’t bother me or creep me out one bit – I simply find it amusing and move on. I move into the next room and the scene gets brighter. I’m on the first floor of a house with a kitchen to my right, a sliding glass door in front of me, and a hallway to my left leading to another room. I can basic summon a cocoa machine and earn come points! Two appliances, one appearing to be an espresso machine, is within view. I can’t use that - I need to imagine one nearby. I imagine that as I turn to my right, another appliance will be there. I turn and see a small black appliance which looks like a small K-cup coffee machine. I click the button and it turns on. I search for a mug in the wooden cabinet above and place it under. Vivid black liquid begins coming out, but it looks more like coffee. I mentally encourage it to become more like cocoa and it starts emitting a very dark brown, frothy liquid which appears to be steaming slightly. I begin walking and take a sip. It tastes pretty good – like a mocha which is more on the chocolate side; there’s barely any hints of coffee. I continue toward the central area and begin consider some dream goals. I imagine pulling out the Dark Woods Wand. I see a faint image of it in my periphery, yet it fades as I draw it up. I try once again, yet the image fades. I see some items strewn about the room and go for telekinesis, yet they don’t budge. I then turn my attention toward phasing and teleporting. I phase through the glass, into the yard in the back of the home. I look for some brick nearby. I phase in, yet simply pop out on the other side. I begin looking for corners to phase into, where the brick would essentially be thicker. The same issue happens again. Instead of phasing, it’s almost as though the interior is revealed, like a glitch in a video game. I try a third time before heading a bit farther into the yard. I wake up.

2. The Metropolis (LD)
I’m looking into a mirror and see the reflection of a sage-type character. I have asian features, am shorter in stature, and appear elderly. I get the attention of a teacher figure in the room.
I continue to look at my reflection in the mirror.
“It appears that this would be real”. I show my hands counting five finger.
“But if you look more closely…” My head turns into a horse head.
I turn to the right and notice the ‘dream glow’. This is a dream! I turn back to the dream character.
“Now we need to score some points. I need to teleport”.
I phase through the mirror, yet end up in a similar looking room. I try to phase into the next mirror, but once again end up in a similar looking room. I need to try the wall. I phase into the wall and the scene goes black. I begin visualizing the druid sanctuary, but nothing materializes for quite a while. I hold, maintaining awareness in the void. I then decide to imagine a simple, barren setting: the desert. I lay down and imagine myself standing up in a sand-swept scene. All of a sudden, as I rise, I see small pockets of sand dunes to my left. I then see a large truck further to the left and a train in front of me. I look further and see a massive metropolis spreading in all directions. A brown brick building ahead and to the left reminds me slight of the structure from my elementary school. I look around further to see a mix of absolutely enormous temple structures – possibly one hundred to one hundred fifty stories or so tall with massively wide foundations – fixed in with more futuristic, steel structures. The scene is within he middle of a sunny day with few clouds.
“Oh my God!” I’m swept away by how vivid the scene is. It looks as vivid as real life, yet has more of a glowing sheen to it. I wonder if this will become a persistent realm… I think as I continue to take in all the buildings stretching as far as the eye can see. I see one very interesting steel, cube shaped building with a massive orb on the top. I gaze into a section with massive buildings of various sizes and attempt mass telekinesis on a large square building built of brown brick. It doesn’t budge after two attempts .I turn around and begin flying to explore the metropolis and soar upward. I enter into the first building and weave my way forward and back to a back room. It appears to be a warehouse. I should basic summon and get some cocoa!...I’ve been doing that too much…a chocolate bar?....I’ve been doing that too much too. I see many stacks of boxes which look like cereal. I’ll go for some Fruit Loops! I imagine that as I make my way around the corner in the dim room I”ll find a Fruit Loop box. Nope…those are just cheerios I think as I see a white box with the cheerios logo. I look around the corner a bit further and see a colored box with Tucan Sam. I don’t want to waste any time, so I pick up the box, shove my hand directly ithrough the top and the bag and begin eating them. They taste pretty good! Just a bit muted. My mouth begins to feel extremely full. This always happens in dreams…I’ll just ignore it. I decide to continue exploring with the box, munching to ground the dream. I see two tall figures in the warehouse near a window. One turns to look at me. I should use invisibility – that’ll earn some points. I snap my fingers and the massie dream character looks right through me. I walk to the window, but his foot bumps into mine as he begins moving. He begins to notice I’m there. I should use some super strength. I grab the seven foot figure by the wrist with one arm and begin to swing him wildly from one extreme of a swing to the other, pounding him into the ground. He become immobilized. The other worker comes to check on him. I then head to the window, but feel I’ve been a bit rough. I realize he’s just a part of my mind, but I feel I shouldn’t be so violent toward these aspects of myself. I walk over to the immobilized figure, place my right hand on his back, and begin channeling a healing energy into him. I wonder if healing will earn point as ‘other dream control’ in competition. The figure begins to stir. He looks up on the ground in front of him, where his previously dislodged cell phone now lays. I look up and begin heading toward the window. I wake up.

NLD
I’m in a room that resembles a college classroom with several rows of long white tables lined up, students seated at each. I have a Brandon Sanderson book in my hands which I’m reading. I see all the other students pull out the same book. I’m surprised by it, yet get excited and begin talking to the student to my left about how good the book is as she opens to chapter one. The teacher begins lecturing about the book.

I'm in my room and somehow, I know that I'm dreaming. I think that it's a little dark and I also think that DJ is here. I appear to have a ring on my left index finger that is orange. switching the colors of the ring and the light that it is emitting to find which one is appropriate. DJ is telling me that I should choose green. So, I'm switching to green and I'm staying there for a bit.

Sword Fight With Kid Me
I'm at home, in the gameroom area, by the big round table.
My past self is there. He looks maybe 8 or 9 years old. About the age when we went to Disneyworld.
He says "Are you doing that dreaming stuff?"
I tell him "Yep, trying to!" but I don't become lucid.
Then we decide to have a sword fight. We're just imagining that we are holding swords.
I take a few stabs at him, taking care to not accidently hit him with my arm.
I chase him around the house a bit.
At one point I sit down to rest and he remarks about how lazy I am.
I say "Yeah, having a job will do that to you."
...
There is a cat in a cat-carrier on the floor near the gaming table.
I think to myself that I should let the cat out.
I recall that the cat talked to me and asked me to release it, but I don't know if that actually happened within the dream.
My sister's boyfriend N is there too.
I let the cat out and tell N that he'll need to help me catch the cat later. He agrees.
The cat saunters out lazily and lays down nearby. Totally chill. It seems satisfied that we helped it.
I sit down by the fireplace near the cat. It splays its paws and I play with its footpads.
My sister M is there, and they are talking about one of the third grade teachers from elementary school, Mr. A.
I say "Oh! Is he still teaching?"
M says that Mr. A used to call the place she sat the "Bitch-Chair".
I think about how Mr. A was very perceptive, but don't say it.
Recorded at 6AM, 66% through sleep cycle 5.

07.09
In this night I didn't remembered any dream. I mean I remembered one but I forgot it before I wrote entry in my DJ.

08.09

This night I had problem with falling asleep. Sleep latency longer than 2h so in the morning I woke up tired. Because of that I was a little bit late to my work so I didn't write my dreams in the morning. I wrote entry in my DJ after lunch brake so my memory wasn't so fresh.

DF #1
I was on ship in undefined port. We made shifting (dragging vessel along to shore using only mooring lines)

Dream #1
It was porn dream so I will spare you spicy details. Action was only in sleeproom. It is hard to say if that was night (my dream sign) or day because I didn't saw any window. Light in the room was warm and not strong.

Dream #2
It was night and I was going somewhere (I don't remember where) with my parents via car. Action was near my home. My father wanted something from me. I don't remember what but it was something like order, command. I didn't want to do that and I started arguing with him. He told me if I dont do the thing I can leave the car and go to home. So this is what I done. I come back to my home. I saw my grandma. I started to packing my stuff to luggage.


Also I almost remembered 4th dream but I didn't.

Happened in the early AM, about an hour before awakening. EXTENSIVE lucid dreams, starting with riding in a truck, through a large city, flying over deep canyons. Scene changed to a series of crowds in stores that was so realistic I almost lost lucidity. The dreams went on for quite some time.
I'm not sure how to label the method used...My wife got up at about 4am to go to the bathroom. When she had returned to bed, and settled down, I relaxed and began to mentally rehearse certain characteristics and behavior changes I am working on. This shifted into a regular dream that then turned lucid. WBTB? DILD?
In any event, it was an exhilarating dream and left me feeling energetic and that I am progressing in my own self development.

If anyone's interested, I am also using a stack of ZMA, Taurine, sea minerals and melatonin about an hour before sleep. Also, using a Bluetooth sleep headphone to listen to a brainwave entrainment meditation I made myself. If I were to take a guess, I would say this occurred because of the time I woke up and the fact that I had very good focus as I meditated.

At the time of writing my sleep/misophonia earplugs arrived so hopefully I have more sanity to LD more often now lol

Day 5: A new mmorpg came out. Literally named something like "The world's perfect mmo". Generally fun, like a mix of Starfield and Zenith. I had a problem when I named my character after one of the PR characters however. I got an achievement criticizing me for some reason and the NPCs were more aggressive than usual. Woke up while writing about it.

Day 6: Was with a friend and we were just having fun. I gathered a list of memes for us to laugh at, but got occupied with Starfield instead. I was in Neon (one of the in-game cities) when a character looked extremely familiar for some reason, despite me never seeing them before. I asked about it and she just said "I moved on." Stopped playing and watched some Mario 3 speedruns.

Autumn Competition 2023 - Night 6

1. Tree Roots (LD)
I’m standing in a road as my awareness begins to raise. My right hand comes out in front of me. This feels dreamlike…I look at my fingers and begin counting. It seems as though there are five, but it still feels dreamlike…I’m dreaming! It appears to be the middle of the night and it seems as though I’m in Meadow. I see a dream character in front of me and slightly to the left. I don’t get a good view of the face, but I get the strong sense that it’s…me… I give the character a hug with my right arm, filled with appreciative joy.
“Congratulations on your five hundredth LD man. I’m proud of you”
The dream character doesn’t respond, but I sense a bit of appreciation for the kind words. I then begin to speak to him about dream goals.
“Let’s go earn some points. First we’re going to do some basic summoning.”
I walk over to the front yard which contains a plant surrounded by a circle of rocks, similar to the one in the meadow.
“Let’s just imagine there’s some hot cocoa around these plants, and then we can drink it.”
I search around the plant area, but don’t find anything. I ignore it and fly further toward the entrance to the house, however I notice that it’s not Meadow. I see a light switch and decide to ‘use an electronic device’. I hit the first switch to my left, but nothing happens. I continue toward the switch to the right of the door with determination to make something happen, although I realize it doesn’t quite matter whether it’s successful or not in competition for points. I hit the switch…and it works! The lights turn on. I then turn around and decide on using super strength. I see a two to three foot shrub to my left. Too small. I then see a much larger pine tree, roughly ten to twelve feet tall, and grab with trunk with a firm clamp grip. I tear the entire tree out of the ground. I then decide to use my strength to shove the tree back in. I shove into the same area, and the tree returns, roots sinking into the earth. I then decide to use mass telekinesis and head toward the road to lift up the house. The ‘me’ DC follows me. As I reach the street, I look into the far distance, to my right, and notice in the nigh time scene and nightmarish figure of a tall, lanky, naked creature rolling along on a massive wheel. I find It strange and creepy, but ignore it. I turn toward the hoes with concentration. I extend my arm and lift the house rapidly, and it hits against the roof of what appears to be a tunnel which it is inside of, yet I didn’t notice earlier.
“Did you see it hit the top?”
The dream ‘me’ agrees by nodding yes.
I then place the house back down and fly toward it to enter.
I enter the house and notice that it has three stories, all connected via a central reception area. The central area connects to the other levels in an open concept. There seems to be a light, honey colored lighting spread throughout the interior of the house, lending it a very cozy feel. I hear a middle aged female character on the phone and think it best to avoid her. I get the sense that engaging her will lead to massive distractions. I briefly scope out the rooms from the central area, then head to a room in the back left. I see a black vent and consider phasing into the backyard through it and pursing earning points, yet decide against it. I turn around and begin exploring the house once again. I fly down and slightly to the right, yet the dream fades.

2. Bookshelves and Whirlpools (LD)
I continue riding down the road in a vehicle without a roof in the middle of the night.
This place feels dreamlike…My hand comes out in front of me. I’m dreaming! I turn to my right and glide into a large room which appears to have no ceiling. It is adorned with a great deal of wooden shelves, light in color, containing a wide variety of items throughout each of the shelves. It seems like a gift shop of sorts, with many stuffed animals and boxes of interesting toys. I’m interested in exploring and make my way around a few of the shelves, and checking out some of the items on the ends. I then decide to work on earning some points. I think of dream character interaction, and tap a female on the DC to get her attention, she turns and I smile at her playfully. I see a group of males and females and decide to use invisibility. I snap and go invisible. I’ not sure if one is in fact looking at me, so I head to another group and snap again. I walk right past the group and the simply look straight through me, oblivious. I’m fascinated by all of the dream characters milling around, and begin to people watch for a moment. The dream begins to feel like it’s fading slightly, so I begin rubbing some shelves to restabilize it. I make way a bit further into the room, then hang a left. This section of the shop is filled with a long row of shelves containing shelves of books that extends the length of the left side. I think of facing and slowly walk into a bookshelf with my eyes open, watching as the visuals slowly change into darkness, then emerge into the scene beyond. I see that the scene extends toward a balcony area which curves left. I head in the direction of the balcony and notice what appears to be a clothing rack on the far end with some dream characters near me. I try out some super speed, and imagine myself zooming toward the clothing rack. I try visually imagining the rack drawing closer several times, yet the super speed doesn’t work. I flry down this corridor, then hang a right and descend a corridor into a large circular room at the bottom with a circular pool of water. One dream character begins to antagonize me, saying that I’m there to bother them, so I simply ignore and fly through the open section in the wall to an area beyond. An even larger circular body of water sits beyond. I enter the water and begin to feel a bit of suction. A whirlpool is pulling me strongly toward the center. I swim hard against he current and float out, into the dream scene, noticing the darkness of the night. I’m feeling as though my dream body is wet. I begin to wake up.

3. Meadow Lucid (LD)
I’m standing in the front of the main house in meadow. As I’m overlooking the front yard from the front patio I become lucid as my right hands comes out in front of me. I glide over the dirt to my left and fly into the center of the front lawn. I notice a large white pickup truck coming down the road, and a male driver turning his head to look at me. I begin to consider mass telekinesis. The dream fades.

…/There’re groups of cartoon like fat people with small thin heads, wearing coats. Some of them are wearing big round hats. They’re standing on platforms at different heights. There’s something like a huge tonearm of a turntable switching from one group to another. They follow its inducted instructions and sing along a melody. Some seem not to know the lyrics and start improvising. I don’t like it although it’s not bad the result. I go down to the lower level of the system. I get to the small yard of my grand parent’s house. The couch of the small living room is out there and another sofa. A short haired arrogant looking pretty girl around 20 is laying along the couch, with the head on the coach arm and both legs crossed on the couch back. She’s wearing black stockings, mini skirt, plaid shirt and a jacket. I want to correct her posture without being direct to avoid rebellious confrontations, just by sitting next to her in order to force her to put the legs down. She doesn’t look clean. I don’t want to get too close to her feet, she’s not wearing shoes. I sit and she turns to put her legs on the table in front of the couch. I think: That’s not the best but much better. I ask for a kiss as reward. She’s angry/…

…/There’s something with my dad/…

My daughter slammed the bathroom door when I was recalling the segments of this dream. That blocked my recall while I was remembering more details and lost the rest of the dream

A lot of dreaming, culminating in watching Moe, Larry and Curly in some type of comedy skit, pushing and shoving each other. Then, I am walking through a large building. As I open a door I see a figure, dressed as Royalty, and I know he is a king. I see Shemp on his knees before the king, crying and begging. I feel sorry for him then become lucid. The king sees me and becomes very angry, yelling at me and ordering me to go away. He approaches me, yelling, and I kick him in the stomach and drive him back.

I have no idea why the Three Stooges appeared in this dream.

Riding the Mountains
I'm in a parking lot, leaving a grocery store. It's day.
There is a man in his car parked nearby talking on the phone. He's arguing with someone about the price of apples.
I remember working hard to get the math right in my head, but it comes slowly.
He says that there are six apples with six servings at six dollars each divided by twelve, or something similar.
...
It's night now and I'm approaching my car.
The building has changed from a grocery store to something that reminds me of my Dad's friend's home remodeling business.
I enter my car and start it up.
I see my Dad outside the car he says "The weather here could be storming or worse, and it doesn't even phase you! You've got your windows down all the time!"
I remember thinking something along the lines of "It's really hot where I live, storms aren't exactly an issue" but I don't think I replied.
I start to drive away, but I have problems actually leaving the parking lot.
I can't seem to orient the car to face the proper direction.
I drive down a path leading behind the building to try and find a place to turn around.
I do find one and finally re-orient the car. I have to nick the side of my car on a nearby electrical box to achieve this.
Now I'm progressing along the path I came, but it is different.
It goes up where it didn't before into a mountainous region.
There is rocky tan-colored mud that is causing the car to slip and slide.
It starts to cake onto my car.
My perspective zooms out, and I'm watching my car go through crazy jumps and maneuvers through the mountains.
The car eventually crashes and flips, so I am sent back to the beginning.
It repeats the course but lands on its wheels this time.
My perspective shifts again. Now's I'm standing, and the car is a toy that I can pick up.
I do so and walk the rest of the way up the red rocks on the mountain.
My Dad is at the top laying in a bed. He is surprised that I made it up here.
The room we are in reminds me of the sky room from the bottom of the narrow concrete hole from the Game Grumps dream on 9/2/23.
Recorded at 4:55AM, just after sleep cycle 4.

Dancing in the Store
It's my birthday, and we are in my childhood bedroom. I'm on the far end of the room (If you turn right as you enter and go all the way).
There is an electrical outlet and it has a bunch of game system minis daisy-chained together with USB wires and ports.
I can recall at least a PlayStation 2, but there were more of them.
My brother and my friend D are on the other side of the room.
A third person at the party is setting up some game for us to watch him play.
He has two tablets, the second one folds and is acting as a keyboard for a laptop, while the top tablet is the screen.
There are some pillows and armchair-pillows on the floor and we are all settling in to watch him play whatever this game is.
...
The room now resembles my Grandma P's sitting den. I'm laying on the floor and I'm the last one up.
We are driving to the store to get a cake.
I get up to join the rest of the group in the car.
...
I'm in a big white van, the one we just road-tripped on to go to Denver a few weeks ago in waking life.
I'm opening the side door, and asking the driver to slow down so I can close it easily.
The driver ignores that request, so I jump out and try to slam it shut as best I can as I jump.
I land in the grass in a neighborhood. It's a sunny day.
I walk past a man having a yard-sale. He has a bunch of tables he is trying to sell.
As I walk by he says "Hey there! Whaddya think?!"
I tell him "They look great! But I'm not in the market."
He accepts this answer but seems a little disappointed.
I keep walking and enter another open garage.
I feel a bit guilty at first for invading, but then I realize that the building is kitted-out to be a store anyway.
There are shoes covering the walls with tiny labels with prices on them.
I'm not lucid, but I decide that I want to find a cute girl and dance with her.
I start to clear out an area at the back of the store, moving TVs, chairs, and other furniture.
As I do this, a mousey-looking girl with glasses shows up and starts to watch me.
I realize she is watching, so I make a show about lifting the heavy things easily, and throwing them such that they flip and land right-side up.
When I'm done, I tell here "We're going to dance!" and she agrees.
While I don't know anything about dancing in waking life, apparently dream-me knows at least the basics.
We dance for a while, and then the girl decides to reward me by getting on her knees.
Nice.
...
The store has changed into a work area. There are some tables with PC setups on them, similar to a computer lab.
There's not enough room to comfortably place my legs.
I'm working at my designated spot, but I sneak to a nearby one that I like better.
...
Later on the tables are gone but there is a long-table in the center of the room.
It now resembles more of a conference room than a computer lab.
There is a TV on the wall everyone is watching.
Some major news is happening. Feels like a 9/11 scale event.
Former President George W. Bush is at the table among the group.
A little girl at the table says "Why can't we just call all the Presidents dumb?"
George W. Bush replies "Well, there used to be less of them, and now there are more and they are all stupid!"
Which doesn't make sense, but the spirit of what he's saying is that things were better under him, of course.
Recorded at 6:39AM, just after sleep cycle 5.
