A few non-lucid dream sequences/fragments. My dreams felt very long and the places I was in felt vast.

---

Sequence 1:

One of the last sequences; I remember being driven by my partner to a small white building. It was the lobby for some sort of research complex. I went in and it was decorated with white and black inside, and there was a receptionist, a slim black-haired woman with her hair tied in a knot and she was wearing a black suit with skirt and a pair of glasses. She was speaking to someone else, both of them were standing up, though her desk was at a normal sitting height. She was explaining something to this other guy. She noticed me as I approached and I said I wanted a job there or something, she asked me what relevant skills I had; I answered truthfully (in waking life context), that I had not had many formal jobs. I also said something else random like I was good at blasting things or something.

She then said "let's see what you got then". And then I simply remember being in another area that looked like an old or ruined town, and what looked like trenches or canals. She was there and in a different outfit, with a sword; I had a sword and a shield and I could see myself in third-person now (so it had become like a game), wearing a similar roman-era battle outfit. She got a few blows in first but I bashed her with the shield and she fell on the floor and I struck her with the sword in long swipes; sword swipes left a glowing trail behind them.

There's something missing in my memory of the sequence here; next I am at what feels like an underground facility, the research complex. I am in a cylindrical room, on its upper half, which was separated from the bottom by thick glass and metal beams that made an aesthetically pleasing pattern. There were researchers here on upper half and on the bottom half I saw a test subject (which in my dream-mind I knew was a volunteer, like I was for the project) walk in through a doorway, to the centre of the room, where there was a raised platform. A researcher was in front of the subject on a control panel and adjust some things and the subject transformed into a 50ft/15metre creature; as a creature, it was pink and white-ish and with flowing appendages, not quite like tentacles. It also looked semi-translucent in parts. I have a dream-memory of seeing several transformations, each with very different resulting creatures, but all large.

At some point before this entire sequence I remember seeing a similar giant creature like the one that, before I "knew" about the research complex, and it had been in some sort of combat situation. It may have been in the previous sequence.

I remember watching more of these transformations and wondering if they would do me at some point. My memory of this dream sequence ends here.



^{Edit: Made this 3D image of how I generally remember the transformations room. I didn't add a lot of detail simply because I don't remember it anymore. The grain is just because it's a quick render (6minutes).}

Fragment 2:

This came before Sequence 1, and was just as long, though I only remember fractioned details.

I remember being in a different ruined city area, which I got to by going down some steps under a mountain or something. I remember seeing some sort of interface for my health points and equipment, and my health was very low. I had no top on either, and for some reason in the dream context that made me extremely vulnerable. There were rats and other pests around, and I remember I got to a place where there was some sort of faction's base, where they were defending from another faction. One of the guys there wanted me to train first, and he had me lie down on a table of some kind where they either injected me with something or attached something; either way, something like an exoskeleton formed and my fear of being vulnerable went away. They explained something about the process, how a sodium injection was required but wasn't the only key to this. I remember there was a training room in the downstairs of the base.

Fragment 3:

In the same region as before, I remember being on a stereotypical Asian looking rooftop, and looking around and seeing the mountain where I came from, with the steps under an overhang. It was day, but the sun wasn't very high and there was cloud cover, though it didn't quite cover the sun. There were a lot of shadows. Looking around more there were other mountains to the left and then further left were plains and forests, back up to the point of seeing the steps mountain again. On the rooftop was someone else. A boy or a girl or a young-ish person anyway. They told me something about the winds that were coming and that we had to do something. I could see large, fast, clouds coming very low from the mountains. I don't remember much else other than seeing this character before in an alleyway.

Some notes:

• The sparring match with the receptionist went on for quite a while and I remember that even though my sword would cut her to chunks, she would "respawn" and we'd fight again. The combat reminds me now of Warframe and Shadow Warrior (both of which have strong Asian themes).
• The first time I saw the giant creatures outside of the research complex I was not aware that they were human test subjects, so when I saw the transformation process I felt bad for having participated in a combat with one, especially given that I felt I'd rather be on the creature's side anyway.
• Watching the creature transformation process I remember feeling a bit envious. In the context of waking life, I know that transformations of even the smallest degree are impossible, but a part of my subconscious still desires them, which attracts me to creative content that represents those themes. The transformation theme in general is a clear dream-sign, but one that I must remember to set an intention to make notice of, due to its prominence in games, and therefore the fact that it's so well embedded into a part of my reactions and behaviours towards it.
• It is a little rare that transformation themes are so present in at least a couple of dream sequences. They were clear dream-signs and I should have done a RC.
• The researchers at the complex wore no special clothes or outfits, they were dressed casually or with suits, so a potential dream-sign did not manifest there.
• The "exoskeleton" wasn't so much an exoskeleton as it was making me "buff", I seem to remember.
• Being at the rooftop especially should have made me RC due to a fear of heights, especially taking note that being a stereotypical rooftop, it was sloped.

I'm in a large warehouse-like space, but dressed up for people to live in. I knew this was where Ilia S. lived (an Israeli scientist active in the life extension community). I remembered being there before, but it was a complete mess that time. It still was, but less so. There were large bookcases, and books laying around everywhere. There was a secret laboratory underneath the warehouse. Underneath THAT secret lab was an even more secret lab, where a woman worked. Another Spanish (male) scientist was present in the warehouse. At some point I open a fridge, and see a can of what I assumed was whipped cream. Fancying some whipped cream, I took the can and sprayed half the can into my mouth and ate it. A scientist points out to me it wasn't whipped cream at all, but an experimental serum. Table cleaner?

There's a large fantasy-style battle. I think there were dwarves? Anyway, after the battle ended in a 'tie' or a truce, I go look for REDACTED. I wanted to comfort him and promise I'd never give up trying to save his daughter. I thought I'd found him, but instead I found a small 'burrowing alien creature' mourning for the loss of its partner (during the battle?). Yeah... A bit later, I'm standing by a kind of large basin filled with water. Like a huge swimming pool (like 300 feet long at least) made of concrete. I notice the water appears to move as I focus on it. I focus harder, and 'will' the water to start bubbling. Eventually, the whole pool bubbles violently, and I realize I must be some kind of 'hydromancer'. Then, I thought about another trick. I focused all my power, and forced to split the water like how Moses split the dead sea. It was amazing. It required me to focus so hard, I was screaming from the sheer willpower it took to maintain the effect.

After waking, I recalled all the dreams I've had in which I caused accidental tsunami waves just by being near an ocean. And I mean HUGE tidal waves, the size of a skyscraper. Subconscious can be so much more powerful than consciousness, and these monster waves show just how powerful hydromancy can be (effortlessly too, compared to how much focus I needed to split the water consciously)!

With family we had a free trip around the world. First, we decided to enter a secret government laboratory placed under our house. We went to the basement and opened a trapdoor. It was dark inside, light's weren't working.

We concluded that there was a disaster in the past, and decided to go out of there. Suddenly, a GUI of a graphics editing software appeared. I could make new layers, paste objects, alter them - and they appeared in reality.

I changed the main background from a dark, abandoned laboratory into a sunny beach. Then I edited the whole image to my liking, adding more and more details. My last change was to make reality look like it was painted by an artist.

The dream setting starts on a cliff side, the cliff is easily accessible until you get about 10 yards from the top, and my male friend and I are climbing this mountain. We are currently about 20-25 yards from the top and we are moving up towards the top slowly and methodically. We each take a different route to get to the top and we meet in the middle, however my route seemed to lead to the quickest way up and in real life I would be the one leading the group on a trip like this. However once we reach the 10 yards to get up at the end, we encounter an obstacle, the cliff ahead of us too tall and steep for us to climb up and its the only way up. I have a small pickaxe with me, one used for mountain climbing and since we are having trouble getting up this part we try to think of a way to get both of us up safely. Quickly enough I see that the cliff seems to be burnt in some manner, however it has more of the qualities of some what seems to be an old lava flow. Its just the right consistency for me to whack some holes for us to climb up. So I start beating on it with my pickaxe making a large indent in this cliff side so I could pull myself up. I struggled up as I got up but was greeted with a nice view of a highway. I thought this seems out of place for sure and I remember to help my friend up. When he gets up there he says something about "Kristoff Krane", the artist I listened to before sleeping. This made me partially lucid for a moment because of the randomness of it but it also inspired me. I was gonna freestyle. Kristoff Krane does freestyle rapping and I am a fan of anyones freestyle but I especially like him. I dont remember what I said in this freestyle but I felt like it was bad. As I finished though, I was feeling very self aware and being in the woods makes me feel as if im hunting. So I start looking around more and I see a white building and a fence. I realize and say aloud "Private Property, we gotta go." I quickly see two fences and a clear path down one side of the mountain, and we start charging down a small hillside thinking to get on the highway somehow. Well as we get down further I see that this building is built into the mountain and its wide open for some reason and we are looking into it from our position in between the two fences. My former male partner now turns into an unknown female whom I seem to be only recently acquainted with, however we share a past experience that makes me seem to be the one who is helping her. My female partner is ahead of me and without noticing has got caught in some kind of wire trap that has her feet, she is looking at the highway through the fence, when I realize I am caught in one too. I get a burst of adrenaline as I see security personnel from the building coming our way and I look at the small wires holding me. The trap is attached to the fence on the side of the building and I move the wire trap along the fence somehow unhook the trap. I am free and my partner see this. She says "GO NOW, leave me here, Ill be fine" very seriously and I know this is my only chance. For some reason I was gonna go into the building, I hadn't planned this but I seemed to just know to go there, as if my partner had told me to do so. I easily sneak past the guards because they are focused on getting the girl, and I very simply walk past people in the building, which I now am seeing is some kind of laboratory. I walk directly over to a corner of the lab that has some kind of giant machine. I quickly jumped into a part of this machine which somehow was like in the movie Tron. I was talking about this movie earlier in the day with a friend. I was aware of me traveling through into a different world of some kind and I was turned into a mechanical ball then pushed by some kind of large robot and propelled down a tunnel. I traveled down this tunnel for what seemed to be a large amount of time, but that only made me tired of traveling and since I was a ball I had no way to propel myself, hence the robot pushing me in the beginning. The tunnel seemed to be taking me somewhere but as I went on I realized gravity was pulling down on me and the tunnel up ahead was going upwards. I awoke when I didnt have enough momentum to travel further up the tunnel.
