2 fragments.

Dreamt that I purchased a snack that came like sticks, perhaps Slim Jims. But when I bit into one I realized that I had purchased incense by mistake.

Dreamt that someone had hidden treats, bags of coffee, small appliances, and other small prizes throughout a house. I along with a few other people participated in a competition, similar to an Easter Egg Hunt, where we raced throughout the house trying to find as many good prizes as we could. Many were chocolate sweets and seemed to be craving dark chocolate.

A rough night sleep-wise. I don’t remember anything from before my WBTB, and then it took me forever to fall back asleep. I finally do though, and find myself at a concert. There’s this moving piece that someone is playing, and I suddenly become lucid. I listen to the chorus a few more times, hoping to commit it to memory for when I wake up.

I FA in the guest bedroom, where the song I heard is playing on a radio and is slowly fading out. I’m initially disappointed in myself for letting the lucid slip away, and that this song I thought was new apparently already existed. However, I decide plug my nose to check if I’m still dreaming, and much to my surprise I can breathe fine. A large mirror on the wall immediately catches my eye, so I walk over to it. For some reason, the word “Belch” is scratched into the glass. I ignore it, and instead try to focus on phasing through the mirror. I first stick my hand inside, and the glass ripples like water around it. I stick my head through it now, and I can see the hallway on the other side of the wall, but it seems darker and more run-down. I jokingly mention that it’s “The Upside-Down”. I move back and forth on each side of the mirror several times, observing the differences. At one point, I see an ominous, ghostly purple blob, about 3 feet tall, start moving down the hall of the Upside-Down towards me. I’m hit with a sudden jolt of fear, but I remember that this is a dream and prepare for a fight. As it enters the room, I jump back out of the mirror into the light zone and prepare to face it, but instead it’s now a golden glowing blob that seems much more friendly. It approaches me, and ends up moving into my body, which fills me with a wave of happiness and warmth throughout my body, but I quickly FA again.

I’m still in the guest bedroom, but now there are other people there as well. There’s some game going on in the corner, involving a ton of spheres on different stair-like platforms. On each level, you have to sort them using a different sorting method (alphabetical, size, etc.) that you have to figure out. Along the way, little dwarves pop out from under some of the stairs to either provide hints or sabotage you with false information, so you have to determine the lies from the truth. I observe someone playing this for a while until my alarm goes off.

Also, I completely forgot the song.

We’re hosting a huge Christmas party at my house, open to pretty much anyone we know (neighbors, old friends, high school teachers, etc.). I’m on cleanup duty, which is basically a never-ending job, since people keep dropping the glasses on the tile floor in the kitchen, shattering them and sending glass shards everywhere. I finally get fed up with cleaning up broken glass, so I passed the broom to my brother and walked towards the back door. My music pastor and an old friend of mine both walk in. The pastor’s incredibly impressed with the amount of Christmas decorations, while my other friend (who’s really into cars and mechanical engineering) comments on a spare engine we have laying in our backyard. I carry on a conversation with them, but really I’m not paying attention and instead am looking forward to playing Rock Band with them.

I’m playing a 3DS game where your character is flying around through some obstacles, and you have to move the 3DS around to control which direction you fly in. I play for a while before I realize I don’t have the 3D setting on, so I turn it on, and suddenly I’m a lot more immersed in the game, until after a while I’m no longer playing the game and I’m actually in the game, flying around various levels with incredible ease. I find myself at one point in a high school building, going through a couple different classrooms, rubbing my hand across the ceiling as I glide effortlessly around with no particular goal in mind. A couple students tell me I should “Peter Pan” - fly around with my hands on my hips like Robin Williams does in Hook. I do this for a while, despite the fact that it looks and feels somewhat silly.

I wake up to my WBTB alarm, but immediately after turning it off I fall back into another short dream. I’m at what seems to be a circus of some type, standing in front of a big, yellow, old-fashioned marquee. There’s some kind of stand-up comedian nearby telling jokes, and as he speaks, his words show up on this marquee. At one point he says, "Ladies, always avoid dating a guy who's into circuses. He'll promise you a night of magic and excitement, but ultimately you'll end up with two half-deflated balloons and extra justification for your fear of clowns." He then ends up saying something equally hilarious about women in relationships, but I forgot because I was cracking up from the first comment, so much so that I actually woke up again laughing like crazy.

While I was up, I decided to do an actual WBTB for a few minutes before going back to sleep. I’m now at my college, moving stuff in for the start of my next school year. My new dorm room is huge, about the size of a basketball court. It’s big enough for 6 bunk beds and a loft, plus a large common area in the middle. Plus, it’s on the corner of the building, so there’s large windows on two walls, allowing me to see the entire night-time city skyline from several floors up. I quickly realize that it’s someone 1am, way past curfew, but I still have half my items that I need to bring in. Plus, I realize that I left my TV that I was gonna take at home, 800 miles away, so there’s no way for me to go back to get it. Another guy is moving into this huge room, but accidentally drops his large TV at the foot of one of the bunk beds, causing some of the support beams to almost melt away. I realize this is weird, so I stop and think about where I’m at. “I’m such an idiot - I graduated college months ago. I’m dreaming!”

From the get go this dream is incredibly stable, so I don’t even bother doing any more RCs or stabilization. I see my brother who for some reason is here - he has a slightly alarmed look on his face. I explain to him that this is a dream, and to prove it to him, I grab his arm and tell him to look at me. He focuses on my face, and so I casually will us both upwards until we’re both flying. My brother is incredibly excited by this - so much so that when we touch back down, he tries to test his new skills by jumping out the window. I chase after him, only to find out that the dorm room is now about 50 stories up, so it’s a long way down. I straighten my body out to become more aerodynamic until I catch up to my brother, who is freaking out because he can’t control his descent. It’s hard to hear him at first because of the sound of the wind whipping past us, but I eventually remind him that this is a dream, so even hitting the ground at top speed wouldn’t hurt a bit. We keep plummeting until we reach terminal velocity, and then splash down into a lake. The initial shock of the water is jolting, but ultimately both of us are unscathed.

The dream transitions to somewhere else. I’m now lying on my back in a large green field. My center of vision is strangely slightly underneath me, in the ground about a foot or two, so I can see my body and the grass around me, but not the sky. Still, everything feels incredible, and I spend about 5 minutes just enjoying how everything feels. I can sense every single blade of grass against my body, and I can feel a cool breeze blowing above me. I can even feel the earth rotating beneath me, until it starts rotating a little funny. I start to feel less like I’m lying on the ground, but more like I’m tethered to a grassy ceiling, suspended over the endless expanse of the sky. My euphoria is cut short by the feeling of a cat jumping on my chest, and I’m pulled out of my trance to see that I’m lying on the floor of my house. I sit up and notice a weird old lady who is reciting some kind of script, and I realize that I’m in some kind of weird commercial for cat food. I tell the lady her commercial is dumb, and then leave through the back door.

There’s a lot going on in my backyard. There’s a goat on our roof, a fox on top of my car, a ton of crows flying everywhere, and a single random tree that’s caught fire. I try to think of some other tasks to score some points, but for some reason I think I’ve already done them (I thought that interact with an animal was a personal task, that teaching a DC to fly was a TOTM, and that I had already done all my 3-step tasks). I decide to try for some time control, so I reach out my hand and will everything to slow down. After a few seconds, everything starts moving in slow motion - I can see every wing flap of the crows, and the fire is now moving much slower than before. I try to jog my memory for some more score categories, but then I’m woken up by my morning alarm.

i think this one was a WILD but i am not 100 % sure because i didnt initiated a WILD so maybe it was a DEILD from a nonlucid.

i lay in my bed and imagine how i run down a street. at the beginning my movement is way off and i cant see anything but after some time it feels more and more like real running and i start to have visuals. i find myself in a street that where on my way back from school in those days i went to school. while running i rub my hands too. i smash against something that gives a boost in stability. after turning right i have the feeling that the dream is stable enough. i have good visuals and bodycontrol.
i approach a flower and look in detail. it moves a bit and it looks pretty nice. i turn around and i see a cherry tree that seem to be in the phase it normally is in springtime. i see small pink flowers. i fly up and look at it. then i land again and think about what to do.
"okay Three step task no 1: phasing."
i move to a garage and think to just phase thru but i decide different and draw a portal on it. the drawing is white like made of dust. hm so how to open it. i push but i already know it wont work.
"it would be to small anyways."
i draw a bigger one and this time i pull at a little edge. it moves and i see pure blackness behind. i say out loud: "to pandora". i even turn around and repeat it another time but again my expectation is not too high plus i didnt imagine anything while saying pandora so fair enough i jump into the void of pure blackness.
i find it funny and start making somersaults by flapping my arms in circles. i can feel the movement distinct. visuals come back and i find myself in a apartment.
"okay three step task now."
i phase thru the kitchen wall forth and back. then i move into a room that looks like a workroom with a lot of books stapled everywhere. "Mass TK."
in my foggy lucid head i think for Mass TK i need more then 10 things simultaneously in the air. i wave my hands around and some books start to levitate. i manage to make 2 times 4-5 books in small groups fly around but its difficult to count if its actually 10 items so i decide to do it differently.
i jump phase out of the window and accelerate down to the ground. i dont mind slowing down and smash feet first on the ground.
"so Mass TK is also things bigger than human. a car should do."
i choose which one i want to lift. not too big but not a small one neither. i start to concentrate on it and at the beginning nothing happens. "ah right i need to imagine how it starts float and not just stare strained on it." and the car starts floating. first the front then the whole car. i cant control it too good where it floats. it turns and crashes into the ground. i lift it again and again it smashes.
"good enough now step three. element manipulation."
without thinking to much i start throwing my arms around like throwing fireballs on the car. the car btw changed and is now a way smaller car of the size of a child. it is on the ground and instead of throwing fireballs it seems like i throw very small pieces of i dont know Bolognese? i concentrate a little more pull my hand back wait and focus some energy in it until i see it starts burning and i throw a big fireball into a passing car. nothing happens even tho i thought maybe it explodes?
suddenly a coworker and friend approaches me with some stuff in his hands. we start talking but there is the voice of our boss thru some speakers out of a building. he says something like "K are you coming? how long do i have to wait, this is working time" we stop our convo and he pushes me the things he carry into my hands and hurrys away.
i walk back into the apartment with the stuff in my hands. i reconsider to not drift away:
"i dont need that stuff its random and i have better things to do."
i get the idea that i want to throw this stuff into the wall. i throw the first pieces but they just smash against the wall and fall down. okay i want it to stack in the wall like darts in cork. i throw again and they go half thru and into the wall and stuck there. i am satisfied and push myself thru the wall and out of the house again. i float a small round thinking what to do.
"ah next to the three step tasks there are personal tasks. i could summon my cat."
i kneel down next to a pickup truck and move my fingers like i would have something in it and call my cat like i would in WL. not a second and i see a cat approaching me from under the truck. "thats not my cat!"
i keep looking around and 2 more cats from the left side are coming. not my cat neither. i call him again and look up front where he just appears and approaches me. he looks slightly different but it is him. i pet him shortly. i really wanted to do this longer and soak in some details but suddenly my mother appears telling me something like
"you guys are old enough so that i can leave for half a year and work in swizerland for a catering company. i need to talk to the guy whos doing this blabla."
for some reason it makes me feel not good and i loose lucidty and visuals like when i cant be sure if i still dream or am awake and hear my mum talking. i decide to just stand up and walk around. i also rub my hands and it works. the dream gets more clearly again and i can assure myself that i am still in control.
"okay what else can i do? it dont make sense to do another personal goal... what would give some more points? ah i could try to get invisible."
i cant to this so far so i tell my girlfriend that seem to morphed out of my mum that i want to get invisible but i want to put on a ring that helps. i start looking in my pockets and ask her to look into hers. i find something that feels like a ring in my right backpocket. i get it out and it looks different then it felt in my pocket. it is black and looks similar to a knucks. i try to put it on but i need to find out the right orientation. after putting it on i ask her if i am invisible but i can see myself still clearly and she shakes her head. shortly after i feel like waking up and decide it is time to write all that down.

Not a bad start to the competition. My lucids were fairly fragmented though, and I spent like 30 minutes just lying in bed trying to put the pieces together in my mind.

I'm in a car with a couple friends, studying for an upcoming spelling bee. The word I'm given is “sicaid”, which means to get sick. After I guess, my friend just keeps telling me what the word means, without ever telling me whether I'm right or wrong. I end up telling him “This is a spelling bee, not a knowledge of words bee.”

After my WBTB, I find myself in some scientific lab of sorts. They're running tests on me and a few other people. We all have to wear latex suits, which they pump full of some kind of super-buoyant helium-like gas to test the effects of pressurized flight on our bodies. As they inflate my suit, their machine breaks, leaving me just suspended in mid-air while they try to figure out what went wrong.

I’m now in some show like the Walking Dead. Somehow, I have a tablet that still works, and shows a map of the infection progress. I notice that all the countries have weird shapes and names, which makes me become lucid. I zoom in on my current location on the map - apparently somewhere in India. There’s actually three different strains of the virus around us, marked with red, yellow, and blue coloring. I look up from my tablet and notice I and my party are on top of a roof in a fairly big city, trying to decide what our next move should be. Suddenly, two of the members pull out pistols and start threatening the rest of us with them. I don’t remember exactly what their reasoning was, but they decided they no longer needed us. They announce that they’re going to execute us off one by one, starting with me.

One of the two, a woman, gets in front of me, while the other, a man, gets behind me, and both point their guns at my head. I start trying to reason with them - how we need the entire group in order to stay alive. I then remember that I’m dreaming, so I look back at the woman. “Did you remember to take the safety off?” I hear the guy behind me pull his gun back to check, so I take advantage of the distraction to grab the woman’s arm and knock the gun out of her hand. The guy rushes to get his gun back up, but I manage to kick it out of his hands while I’m wrestling with the woman. I finally pin her to the ground and continue to punch her in the face until she’s unconscious. Meanwhile, the guy runs to get his gun, but one of the other guys in our party rushes over and kicks it away before tackling the guy to the ground. I get up and grab the guy on the ground, swing him around over my head by his ankle, and then launch him over the edge of the building to his death.

I have a FA of sorts, and I’m now riding in a car on the interstate with a friend of mine and her parents. Apparently the whole thing that just happened was a virtual reality attraction at Busch Gardens, and now me and this family are driving back home. I have a sudden realization that I didn’t ride with them on the way there, and that my car is still parked at the park. The dad (who looks suspiciously like Hank Green) seems fine with turning around, even though we’ve been riding for about 30 minutes at this point. Suddenly though, he realizes there’s a ton of cars driving on the wrong side of the road, heading directly towards us. He quickly throws the car into reverse and backs up at a high speed, before slamming on the E-brake and whipping the car around to face forward. Then, as soon as he can, he gets back over onto the correct side of the road, right as 4 or 5 police cars come out from behind us to chase the reckless drivers on the wrong side of the road. I remark something about how I wish my dad was as good a driver as that.

We’re now walking through some kind of jungle place, still on the way to go pick up my car from Busch Gardens. We eventually come to a creek about 40 feet across. The water is crystal clear and isn’t moving very fast, so the people with me start wading through to get to the other side. However, I somehow find myself floating above the water to get across. I originally dismiss it as just a side effect from the helium-suit testing from earlier, but then I remember that I’m still dreaming. I continue to fly over at a faster pace until I reach the other side. Then, I find a large boulder, about the size of a minivan, and use telekinesis to put it in the water, which (somehow) helps everyone to get across faster.

I’m vacationing with my family in Syria. We’re waiting at a bus station of some sort, when suddenly there’s an explosion in the distance. We all turn our heads in the direction of the blast, when several gunmen round the corner and start firing into the air, shouting at everyone to get down as we are being taken hostage. I duck my head as I’m instructed and start to panic, fearfully wondering if I was going to die here. Wait, usually this level of fear only happens in dreams - of course, I just went to bed an hour ago. I stand back up and fly over this tall fence that stands between me and the shooters. “I’m not afraid of you. You think you can scare us, but you’ll never scare me.” I prepare to wreck their shtuff up, but I unfortunately wake up.

I’m back at college, in one of my old dorms, although everything looks kinda different inside - the halls and doorways are bigger than normal and the room numbers are all shuffled around. I joke with my friend about how I’ve been in the same dorm for 6 years and still can’t remember what room I’m in.

I’m out to lunch with my brother (who’s in the police academy) and his wife. I joke around with him about being undercover, and he glares at me and whispers that he is undercover right now.

Fragment of me playing some SNES video game involving robots and AI.

I’m driving around college with some friends. I try to stop in this parking lot, but my brakes start failing. I press as hard as I can, but my car barely slows down as it approaches this cliff. It creeps forward, but at the last second it starts to slow down and finally stop. I breathe a huge sigh of relief, but am interrupted by the bright flash of a huge explosion coming from the bottom of the cliff. A car is launched upwards from the blast zone and narrowly misses landing on top of my car, before tumbling back down the hill and ending up in the middle of the road. Almost on cue, a ton of paramedics come out of nowhere, grab the driver and put him on a stretcher, and then drive off, all in the span of about 3 seconds. I’m still in shock trying to process what just happened, when I realize that this feeling of fear and confusion is incredibly familiar - I’m still dreaming. However, again I instantly wake up. I see it’s about 5 minutes before my alarm is set to go off, so I don’t try to DEILD or anything.

I’m at a high school reunion, where the entire class is in some quiz competition for a prize. One of the challenges is to guess the total height of the two shortest guys in the class, and ironically, both of those two get it wrong.

I get up for WBTB, but for circumstances beyond my control, I stay up too long and don’t have enough time to sleep before my alarm goes off. Being the genius I am, I hit the snooze button about 3 times. After pressing it the third time, I start drifting back to sleep, when I suddenly find myself standing up beside my bed. My room looks weird, as one of the walls is at an angle. I plug my nose and find that I’m dreaming. I do my usual routine that I do when I start a lucid from my bedroom - I leave through the window. I take a running start and jump, phasing through the window until I start flying outside. I look down and notice that I’m incredibly high up above a castle, having just jumped out of one of the towers on the outer edge. I decide to fly to the top of the tower, where I see a stone gargoyle perched on the roof. I fly up to it and try to start a conversation, but it just starts shouting Bible verses about sexual immorality and then flies off. Weird.

I slide down the roof, hopping from slope to slope until I finally reach the ground. I’m in this huge open field, and a ton of people in colonial outfits are walking around. It has a very Assassin’s Creed feel to it, which makes me remember (erroneously) that one of my personal goals was to assassinate someone with a hidden blade. I quietly sneak up behind one of the people and shove my hand into their back, and a blade appears that pierces through them. I look down and see that I’ve stabbed a young child - apparently this large field is a playground, as I realize everyone around me is under the age of 10. All of them stop moving and stare at me with a look of shock. I run off before the police arrive and/or the guilt sets in.

I see a marker in front of me directing me towards my actual target, which is inside this large wooden house. I sense that my target is being interrogated in a room off to the right, and I have to rescue him by sneaking around the back, where there’s a guard sitting on the stairs. Luckily, there’s a nice little space under the stairs where I can hide, but I get kinda stuck trying to crawl into it on my stomach. While I’m doing this, the guard gets up and walks towards the hallway where my legs are still sticking out. I think my cover’s blown, but instead he just says “Legs up, love.” I bend my knees and lift my feet up. “Cheers, mate.” He continues down the hall completely unconcerned. I exit and head around to the stairs, where there’s a computer screen and mouse on a desk. It obviously seems strangely out of place, but I use it anyway. When I click the mouse, a large GlaDoS-like robot comes out of the wall in the next room and tazes the guard. I come around the corner and open the door to find my target is… Claptrap from Borderlands. Except he explains to me that his name is “Gary Gary Gary”. I tell him to follow me.

I exit the room and find that I’m in a futuristic-looking train station of sorts. Everything looks white and pristine, and large electronic billboards light up the night sky. Just then, an announcement comes over the PA:
“Attention, do not be alarmed. Police are on the scene searching for a white-cloaked criminal, last seen murdering a security guard and kidnapping a service droid, Gary Gary Gary. If you have any information as to their whereabouts, please notify a police officer.”
I see a ton of police swarming the scene. “Gary!”
“Uh, it’s ‘Gary Gary Gary’…”
“Whatever! Shut up and act natural!”
I stand with my back to the officers, hoping to not draw any attention and blend in. Instead, I hear an officer shout, and a bullet whizzes past my head. “Change of plans, RUN!”

I take off towards the train tracks and cross to the other side, followed closely by Gary and my pursuers. I pull a white handgun out of my pocket and start firing back at the officers, managing to only take down one in the process. I turn down a small hallway and burst through a door here. Inside is a dark passageway with a long staircase down. I jump onto the rail and grind my way down on my feet. Once I reach the bottom, I cross another set of train tracks and reach a long staircase going back up. I turn around to see Gary has managed to keep up rather well, and behind him are fewer police officers. However, I start to hear the bark of police dogs, and I know that they’ll soon catch me. I pick up Gary and throw him under my arm. “Hold on tight!” I lean forward and put all my effort into picking up speed. It’s difficult at first, since I’m going upstairs, but I soon notice I’m taking the stairs 4 at a time at an incredible rate. I look around long enough to see the last of my pursuers disappearing into the darkness behind me. I slow back down as I reach the top of the stairs, which lead to an exit in a bright, hilly area. To the right of the exit is what looks like a street gang, but on closer inspection, I see that it’s the members of Pentatonix, singing “Zero to Hero” from Hercules. I soon wake up from my alarm going off. Not bad for a 10-minute snooze cycle.

Let’s play a fun little game. Try to count how many things seem weird or bizarre before dream-me finds one (there’s at least 25 in total).

I’m at church for our Wednesday night youth service. We just had a guest speaker - my old RA from freshman year of college - who gave out a free plunger to every kid in the youth group. The band and I come up to play music, so I get set up on the keyboard. The youth pastor comes up after us and explains to the crowd that we didn’t have time to practice, so we’re basically going to be sight-reading these songs, and he’ll be leading us. Our first song is apparently from the year 1920 and has a ton of key and rhythm changes. At one point, the song even changes into the key of K. Still, it has a hard rock drum part in the style of the Foo Fighters that sounds pretty amazing, so I kind of like it. After finishing our first song, I have to switch to bass guitar for the second song, but my bass is on the other side of the stage. I manage to maneuver my way through a maze of junk on the stage - from palm trees to banjos to a sleeping cat - grab my guitar case and make my way back. The second song is more in the style of the Beastie Boys, and I’m kind of surprised when our youth pastor drops the F-bomb in the middle of the song (we are in a church, after all). I look around, but no one seems to notice or care.

For the third song, I get back on the keyboard, but somehow it got unplugged during the last song. I go to plug it back in, but there’s so many ports in the back of all different shapes and sizes - it almost looks like a telephone switchboard. Tony, a guy from the youth group like 5 years ago, comes up on stage and yells at me for not figuring it out. He grabs the wire out of my hand and plugs it in for me. Luckily, our third song is interrupted by a literal parade of people coming from the adult class marching up through the center aisle and exiting through the side door. After the interruption, we’ve apparently decided not to do a third song, so I go back to sit down with Mismagius and his little brother, who are both wearing pullover hoodies with “IRC” in big letters across them*. The youth pastor starts his sermon with a video on the projector screen, which strangely has clips of topless women and people cussing. I look around again, but still no one is phased by this. In fact, most of the audience isn’t paying attention, and some of the kids are going up to the stage to get some free oranges from these tall cardboard boxes. Suddenly, it hits me that it’s Friday night, not Wednesday night - why are we having service? I plug my nose to make sure I’m not dreaming, but I can breathe through it. Weird, everything seems so realistic though, there’s no way I’m dreaming. I plug my nose again to make sure, and I can still breathe through it. “Huh, I guess I am dreaming.”

Upon me saying this revelation, the entire crowd erupts into a loud cheer, like their favorite football team just scored the game-winning touchdown. There’s an explosion of confetti and streamers as more people start rushing into the room cheering. Apparently this was some kind of lucid hidden camera show, where they were trying to see how much weird crap they could do before I finally got lucid. The crowd makes a row out the door, and I proceed to give them all high-fives down the line. All my friends and family are there, some hugging me as I pass by, and others joking with me on how long it took me to realize.

I finally make my way to the end of the line and find myself in my old high school gymnasium. Mismagius and his little brother are there again, and the kid starts making fun of me for not realizing sooner, claiming that I should’ve known as soon as I saw the huge American flag on the side of the orange boxes. I exit the gym and walk up to my friend Aaron. He’s apparently only heard stories of people becoming lucid, and he wants to see for himself just how incredible it is. The first thing he wants to see is how fast I can run. He takes off in a sprint, and after giving him about a 5 second head start, I take off and quickly catch up with him in about 2 seconds and tackle him to the ground. He seems incredibly stunned, and I quickly realize that hitting him at that speed may have hurt him. “Are you okay? Because if you’re not, I can fix that.” Luckily, he gets up and claims he’s fine. I wake up shortly after.

After journaling the previous dream (chuckling the entire time at the ridiculousness), I go back to sleep. I’m now on some game show with a couple friends and a few strangers. The point of the show is that we have to fight each other in incredibly weird environments, like a water park or a maze of air ducts. The winner of each fight advances, until the final two compete in a fight to the death. However, from the start of the show, none of us want to fight (friendship for the win). However, the host, a teenage girl with straight black hair, threatens us with a water bazooka if we don’t do it. I conspire with one of my friends to fake a fight so the host doesn’t kill us. I hold his head under the water for a couple seconds until he taps out. My next competitor is a kid who looks like he’s maybe 8 years old. Since the start of the show, he was hiding in a pocket of air in the bottom corner of the swimming pool. As I dive down to get him, he quickly surrenders before I reach him. I manage to advance to the final fight, where my competitor is apparently the crazy jungle kid from The Wild Thornberrys, but I wake up before I can find him.

*Okay, to be fair, there is a school near my church that a couple kids in the youth group go to called Indian Rocks Christian. So even though it seems obvious in retrospect (“I’m Mismagius, you know, the one you always talk to on DreamViews IRC chat.”), of the entire dream this is probably the one thing I have a slight excuse for.

I don’t remember much from my first dream, but I’m in some white, futuristic-looking room when I realize that I’m dreaming. Before I can do anything, however, this skinny bald guy walks in. He’s got an evil look in his eye, and I get just a really creepy vibe from him. He laughs like a crazy person for a bit, and then presses a button on a control panel off to the side of the room. This sends a debilitating electric shock through my body, and I end up on the floor having a seizure as the dream ends.

I falsely awaken. I stop and think for a minute of who this guy from my dream might be - some kind of dream nemesis? I (falsely) recall several other dreams where he’s been there to torture me, and vow that next time I’m dreaming (lol) I’ll find him and ask him who he is. I find myself in a hobby shop that mainly sells board games. There’s apparently a scavenger hunt competition put on by the store going on, with the final treasure at the end being some incredibly valuable prize. I solve the first puzzle by using a key I found on one of about 100 lock-boxes in a random cabinet in the store. I use the number engraved on the key to open the corresponding lock-box, and inside is another key to another lock-box. I open about 3 or 4 boxes before I notice a very large guy in a black suit walk into the store and start looking around. I know he’s looking for me, so I start running, which makes him give chase.

I run through the Employees Only door into this huge foyer. The walls, floor, and ceiling are all white and black, kind of like some of the testing chambers in Portal. Apparently this is the headquarters of a huge tech company where the grand prize of the competition is being stored. I have to make my way to the center room to retrieve the grand prize, but the company has an insanely complicated security system that I have to disable at least partially to get there. Until then, there’s huge lasers covering most of the floors and doorways, and a ton of armed security guards roaming the halls. I take off down one hallway with a grid of lasers on the floor and carefully step my way through the gaps. Unfortunately, I’m spotted by some guard, who tries to attack me. He takes a leap at me, but he’s almost moving in slow motion. I dive out of the way, taking care as I slowly float down to not hit any of the lasers. I turn around and notice he’s doing the same - apparently he can’t touch the lasers either. This continues for some time - the two of us gracefully tip-toe around like ballerinas dancing in low gravity, while making sure to get in a punch or a kick whenever we get the chance.

I somehow manage to defeat him and get to the central room. I open the breaker panel and cut one of the wires to disable it. This shuts off some of the lasers (but not all, since apparently they’re on separate power grids for added security). I grab the prize - a small slip of paper - and make for the exit again. Meanwhile, a guy is talking in my earpiece about how all the exits are surrounded by guards, so there’s no easy way out of the building. I just have to improvise, I guess.

I head through another door into a very large white room. I realize that this room looks very familiar - this is the room the bald guy electrocuted me in. I deduce that I must be still dreaming (though I’m not “fully” lucid and don’t think clearly). I think about flying out to escape, but I decide that the storyline is too interesting and I don’t want to break character. So instead, I find an elevator shaft and start doing Mario-esque wall jumps to climb higher and higher. My path gets blocked by a laser grid, however, and before I can find another way to escape, I wake up.

I’m playing this Virtual Reality console that intercepts your brain impulses so that your muscle movements move your game character instead of actually making your real muscles move (kind of like Sword Art Online). I’m in this dungeon game that is kind of a mix between Zelda and Shadow of the Colossus. I have to go from room to room, killing the giant dragon that lives in each room. Each dragon starts out invisible, so half of the game’s challenge is the puzzle of how to make the dragon visible so that you can actually kill it. The first dragon I remember facing was one involving a laser trip-wire and invisible fireballs. The dragon starts out blocking the laser so you don’t see it, but once you get close enough, the dragon moves and starts shooting fireballs. The key is to stand in the path of the laser and reflect it at the dragon (using the sounds of fireballs passing by you to locate where it is) to make it visible. I finally accomplish this and quickly manage to kill the dragon.

I don’t really know what causes it, but I suddenly become lucid. However, as soon as this happens, I’m grabbed by an invisible force and pulled sharply downwards. It feels like a ton of strong, invisible hands are pulling me somewhere, and even though I know it’s a dream, I’m still fairly terrified. I try my best to fight back. I struggle to break free of the grasp, then swing my fist, hoping to land a punch on whatever creature is fighting me before being grabbed again by what feels like even more hands. It’s somewhat disorienting, as I have the distinct feeling of being pulled, but the entire scene around me is completely still. This struggle continues for several unnerving minutes. I start to feel like I’m actually shaking and groaning in real life, though it may have been a false dream-me using the VR headset. The monster starts to become slightly more visible each time I hit it, though it’s still mostly a purplish-haze that appears on me while I’m pulled. I finally get to the point where I can’t take it anymore. I reassure myself that I’m dream and that I am in control. I then grab at one of the “hands” and do my best to swing it downwards, hoping to slam whatever is at the other end into the ground. It works, so I keep doing it, getting harder and harder with my swings each time. Finally, I release all my built-up rage towards this monster in one final powerful slam that cracks the concrete beneath it.

The silence is deafening. I stop to catch my breath and take a look at what I’ve done. On the floor lying dead is this dragon-like creature that kind of looks like a blue version of Baloo from Zelda: Wind Waker, but slightly more snake-y. I look around and find that I’m still in the laser tripwire room, but the dragon from that room is back. I don’t feel like fighting it again, so I check my inventory. I see a picture of the beast I just killed - apparently it’s the second-to-last boss in the entire game. I also have the option to summon it to fight for me, which sounds like an awesome idea. I press the button to summon it, but the game kind of glitches out, and I end up standing on its head while it flies upwards, causing me to phase through the ceiling into the room above - the dungeon of the final boss, “Glibc” (frick, I’ve been programming too much lately). Luckily, I manage to escape the room before the boss battle starts.

I find out that the game is being recorded by the Game Grumps for one of their episodes, and once they’re done, they turn off the console, which sends me back outside of the game into this huge ballroom. I meet this guy who I’m apparently supposed to get to know, since we’re going to start working together. I start talking to him, but I notice this holographic display pops up next to him showing his interests compared to mine. They’re all colored red - meaning we share absolutely nothing in common. I try thinking of something to say, but then I wake up.

I’m still kinda shaken up from the nightmare, so I can’t fall asleep right away (so basically a forced WBTB), but I eventually do. I have a small fragment of driving in a huge circle around my entire college campus on this road that somehow intersects itself.

I’m now riding in a car about to meet up with some friends for a game of tennis. I’m riding in a car with two friends (who I don’t actually know in real life), and we see our third friend walking from the parking lot into the park. Apparently one of our traditions is that whenever we see this friend, we throw a shoe at her. So my friend pulls my shoe off and throws it out the window, just barely missing her. We all get out of the car, when we realize that the entire place is infested with these huge yellow ants and a swarm of Beedrills. The ants start crawling up our legs immediately, and I’m especially vulnerable since I’m missing a shoe. I duck my head and hope not to get stung as I run through the Beedrills trying to get back to the car.

Ahh, nothing like a fresh competition to get me to write in my DV DJ again. And not a bad start, I will say.

Fragment: I’m doing acting lessons in preparation for the Christmas play at my church.

After I do a WBTB, I find myself in this huge mall, where there’s a ton of weird people walking around, and even weirder stuff for sale. I walk outside in the parking lot, where there’s hardly any cars anywhere. Weird, why is it so packed inside then? I look up at the sky and suddenly realize that I’m dreaming. My mind immediately goes to knocking out my 3-step task for the competition. I start running and then slowly lift my feet off the ground until I’m hovering just a few feet off the ground while still moving forward. I round a corner and nearly slam into the hood of a police car pulling up to the intersection. Luckily, I swerve to avoid it and instead just graze the front of the car with my hand. I gain some altitude, but notice that there’s nothing past the edge of the parking lot - just a drop-off into the abyss. Guess I don’t really have anywhere else to go. I head back inside the mall.

I try to remember the second of my 3-steps, but for some reason mistakenly think it’s mind control. I walk up to this guy standing in the food court and telepathically tell him to make chicken noises. He suddenly starts bawking for a few seconds, until the bawks start to turn into coughs. I fly up to another really tall guy (seriously, like 8 feet tall) and try to manipulate his mind, but he instead starts reading my mind. “I know you think you can change my mind, but I won’t be doing that.” Wow, what a tool. “I know you are, but what am I?”

I’m in a different location now, somewhere in the country that looks like a setting from Little House on the Prairie. I’m working for the sheriff, who is basically a glorified drill sergeant, barking orders at me to do random menial tasks. He wants me to fetch water from a super dirty water pump in someone’s backyard and pour it into a pipe sticking out of the ground 3 feet away. Of course, he doesn’t give me a bucket, and the only ones lying around are caked with dirt and rust. I remember my third step is element manipulation, so instead of using a bucket, I try to pull water straight out of the ground. I put both my hands forward and focus super hard, and manage to make a ball of crystal clear water rise out of the ground. I slowly move it over to the pipe, as it morphs into a sort of rounded cube. I drop it right into the pipe and smugly turn back to the sheriff. He’s incredibly angry that I used powers - so angry, in fact, that he takes a swing at me with an axe. His first swing hits me in the shoulder, and there’s a bit of pain for a short second, but it goes away before his second swing. I dodge it and manage to grab the axe out of his hand, before breaking it over my knee.

I wake up in some version of my house. My parents have told me they’ve repainted the guest bedroom. I walk in to see that the walls are painted black, with random pink and blue lines painted in certain places. It looks like that hideous 90’s laser background. I walk back into the hallway and realize that the layout of the house makes no sense, which makes me lucid. I head back to the living room, where I see the sheriff from the previous dream in a game that’s playing on my Xbox One. As I walk by, I get a video call through my Xbox from some user named “Fatal”. I don’t recognize the username, but when I see the video preview, I realize it’s JadeGreen. I hit the answer button, but I realize that I don’t have a camera or a microphone to talk to him with. Yet somehow, he hears me through the controller. Once the video is full-screen, I can faintly make out Manei standing in the background. I tell him to hang on a second, I need to find a keyboard and camera. I rummage through the living room, but don’t find anything, so I try to summon a keyboard with no luck. I eventually wake up for real.

I fall back asleep and have a 3rd-person dream where I’m watching this car chase involving the cast of Leverage and Scrubs in a black Cadillac trying to outrun the cops. Sophie (Leverage) and Carla (Scrubs) are sticking out of the car firing tommy guns at the police cars. At one point, the car hits a ramp and flips, but everyone inside is fine.

I’m now at some church event where all of the band is in an RV right by a huge outdoor stage. We’re just kind of chilling in the RV, when we hear the music start on stage, which is our cue to get up there. I walk down the steps, when I’m only wearing a t-shirt and underwear. I rush back in the RV to change, but I’m passed by an old gentleman who is wearing only his underwear and doesn’t seem to care.

Non-lucid: I was in a college w/ Melissa McCarthy. We were in an around the world culinary contest. In which one guy tried to cheat & we were very disappointed w/ him. I woke up before it was over due to my wbtb alarm.

I tried to go back to sleep but my phone was blowing up. The A/C guys were back to try & fix the new leak in our new A/C. It's evening now & it's acting stupid again already! I'm really getting tired of dealing w/ this shit. It's brand fucking new! Sigh.

I know we get 1 point for every 3 comments but I still don't understand how the points for our comments work. Or to be more exact who tallies that. So I'd hope someone would explain this. I was told that they would be tallied at the end of the contest so I'm guessing that means after 8pm tonight.

D1: Non-lucid One was about Meesha peeing in Josh's room on the floor because she was mad that he went back to school.
WBTB
D2: Non-lucid I was involved in a threesome with DC's that I didn't know.

I did 5 wbtb's but I had a really high pain level going one which made my dreams so abstract that recall was impossible. I tried to stay awake & do recalls but it was just a mess. I guess I shouldn't have made the road trip yesterday with Mike to take our son back to college. I knew I had hurt it Thursday for the millionth time but I know he hates to make the long drive alone. So no swimming today either. The dream w/ Meesha Cat peeing seemed so real that I actually went & checked if it had really happened. I'm not logging the other wbtb because I can't put the dreams w/ them so in my opinion they shouldn't count in a contest.

Non-lucid: I was with my twin daughters (I really have twins, they are grown & have their own kids). My one daughter Ashley was in a fountain playing with some kids. Her best friend is named Kendruh & she was jumping back in & out of the dream & I demanded that she tell me what the year was each time. It was some sort of time travel thing. It was really strange. Ashley gave birth to June bugs, yep that was really weird. Something was wrong with one of them. ( She's pregnant in real life so maybe that's where that came in). My other daughter was in & out of the dream but wasn't really saying much.

I had a really bad day. Had to get up early to watch my grand kids at 6:15 & then had to go get my oldest son to come watch them at my house so I could take my other son to the ER. He seems to have carpal tunnel. But his symptoms were basically from fatigue. Gaming & not sleeping or eating. It was a big mess. Then I get a cryptic phone call from someone. They said they were my son in law, who's in prison but it wasn't him. He's in the hole right now & so is the idiot who helped put him in prison. The said idiot gave out my number apparently & someone was trying to get to him through me. You just can't make this shit up. On top of that I moved wrong today & I think I fucked up my titanium bracket in my spine because I'm in a crazy amount of pain. I wish this day would fucking end already!

D1: I was playing in the game survivor. There were 3 great big ships w/
3 teams. One for each ship. But I wasn't sure what they were yhaet who had
what. But we were told by Jeff Probst the host that there could be
consequences for swapping with other teams. Apparently someone already had
tried but magically they weren't allowed too. It was a little fuzzy about
how this occurred...


My daughter called in real life & I tried to ignore the phone.


D2: half lucid. I phased/chained into my second dream which was becoming lucid right
after I noticed the ships were now all three small boats. I now decided
to give the ships the advantages I wanted. I gave my team plenty of
extra food. Another had fishing gear. And the third had survival gear. I
know they could've been better but I was trying to just get to the tasks.

I was making a plan that I would put Nebulus & Dream Cafe on the second boat & Sivason on
the third so I could play against them. I was also contemplating my flying
to the moon & my mass telekinesis. But as soon as I got Nebulus pictured in
his blue t-shirt emblazoned with his real name idiot tag it was game over.

My daughter had come into my bedroom in real life via my dumb ass son. I'm
so pissed off I can't even express. She got a job & needed me to watch
her kids from now until school starts from 6am-5pm. So basically I may be
fucked as far as the comp goes. We'll see. My plan is to try & recreate
this scenario because it was a really good set up for the way I wanted this
part of the comp to go. I'm literally in tears.

Yes Neb, I had you finally pictured for like 30 seconds before my daughter
blew my dream to shit!
