Spoiler for Cavern of the Void:

Non-Lucid Lucid I was in a dream, I was doing some kind of work, I had something I was dealing with, I walked past someone as they walked past me we became hooked together (presumably) on her belt, she was able to drag/carry me backwards. I said something like "wow your able to carry me", as she worked on unhooking us, meanwhile I was working on a container box for disks. The person saw the box and demanded to see the disks, I said they contained scanned gel-blots, & zoo-blots... then I found myself eslewhere, I was watching someone walking along and I was thinking on a different path I would have a different job in life. Then I rememberd the box and started to walk towards it I Thought this is a dream [+10 First DILD] I began to run along the sidewalk towards a structure with a gap in it in the distance. I thought run super-fast, so I did [+10 Super Speed], the sceen seemed to warp into being like a tunnel. I slowed for a second then ran even faster the sceen would blur variously as I changed speeds, I thought super-fly and pulled up my legs [+10 Advanced Flight]. The tunnel I flew thru seemed to end in a huge red rockish glowing like cavern. I thought the steps (thinking I might destabilize). So I reached into my pocket to summon something I thought it needs to be edible, I pulled out what felt like a plastic bag of four balls [+5 Minor Summonation] [+5 First Step], I could no longer see, I was in the void, I told myself (mentally I didn't actually speak) it will be malt balls, I tore the plastic and put a ball into my mouth and bit down, Yum!, I was right [+5 Eat Something] [+10 Second Step]. I could feel my hand against my cloths and thought 'rub to stabilize you fool'. I began to rub [+1 Stabilization], then I thought bring my hands together so I did and then I rubbed, but it felt as if there was a sheet on top of me, So I felt for the bed and I felt the mattress including its real texture thinking I was awake I got up, soon I found something with some moldy spots growing on it. I took it to the sink and blasted on it with hot water, but the sink filled with hot water, I unstopped the sink and put in the filter and turned off the hot water. As the sink drained, I woke.

Estimated Total Lucid Time 1+ min

Night Total 2 + 9 + 51 = 62 points

coolest dream effect: I was trying to key from an image that was on a screen, but suddenly I was seeing it from a camera point of view on a different screen, but that camera was on a rollercoaster pointed at the source, using some type of gyroscopic mount, trying to key from this image was a bitch (they again keying info in a dream was already pretty much impossible
most awesome image: an amazing set of castle like buildings all over a hill side, there were many of them but they were one residence which I knew to have underground connections between them.
scariest moment: pulling the pin from my eye
dumbest moment: 2 DCs hold me down while a third DC smacks me with a banana at the parlor with the Milk Shake Malt
stupidist lucid miss: before becoming lucid, when the woman I was stuck to was able to drag me backwards, I out weighed her at least 2.5:1

my recall was a bit off and on, but generally got better thru the night
my tracking was off on the first several dreams, but on for the first time
during the dream with the lucid but showed only light sleep
a few other charts showed the general Light-Deep-Light-Rem wake pattern
and times beginning to approach 1.5 hours tho most of my sleep(s) were in
smaller chunks because of the disruption nights.

additional note: one new thing I have been trying lately is scents, during the last few days, I have been dumping cap full amounts of imitation vanilla extract into a fan that is blowing in my room, note in the dream above Root Beer, wipped cream, malt
(seemed to have incorporated many instances of vanilla things)
when in my room I don't really notice the smell, but when I re-enter it is quite strong



This site now seems to have ultra agressive adds even when logged in
It was nearly impossible to post and edit my score

The page constantly resizing, scrolling wildly, and blaring adds often in simultcast overlay, like an echo effect.

I think this must be why so few beginners came, likely anyone coming to the site now will find it to be not very usable

In any case I did manage after much effort to update post, tho I also couldn't lable the second one as a duplicate but it seems to have been auto removed

I would try to edit some colors and spelling but it just isn't worth it under these conditions

So close again. In both nights I've even gone counting the points while semi lucid, like "I'm flying = 5 Points" etc. I was flying an advanced jet fighter among others against alien invaders, shooting missiles and firing lasers in the sky. Went Legolas-style against golden mammoths and their controllers too, though I didn't use a bow at first but a minigun instead. I was also the leader of a Space marine platoon from warhammer 40,000 and could control electronic devices with my mind. nnnnooo the pointssss....

4 Nonlucid Dreams, 6 Frags. No wbtb this time around. Like last night I just summarized here, compressing details out of the longer dreams, to prevent me from having to type up an obscenely long entry for very little points.

Spoiler for dreams:

Dream 1:
I was visiting some woman's house. She was a LGBT+ rights activist and was talking to me about gender identity. I remember her house was in the same neighborhood that my grandmothers old house was in IWL. The house was sort of L-shaped and had a very nice back patio and the woman had a very large purebred cat, like the size of a large dog. While the woman was talking to me I kept trying to pet the cat, but giving up thinking I would be being rude by ignoring her.

Dream 2:
I was on a road trip with my mom and dad. We stopped at this hotel that was built in the side of a cliffside and had a pool fed by hot springs. There were complications checking into our room. Then there were problems because it was christmas and my cousins where coming and we had to go shopping to buy them presents. My cousins arrived and we opened a door that linked our two hotel rooms, and we set up a shared christmas tree in the rooms.

Everyone 'fell asleep', 'woke up' and we had a christmas morning. I remember the presents I got were a carton of plastic easter eggs with candy inside; a Lego Star Wars set and a razor. I wanted to build the lego set but my dad said we had to get back on the road. Toward the end of the dream we stopped at a gas station and my backpack strap got caught on a rack of snow globe souvenirs and brought the whole thing down, breaking them all. My dream-dad turned cartoonishly bright red and I said "Oh sure, just ground me for two months, why don't you?"

Dream 3:
I met a woman in her 40's while I was running my regular and started talking to her. We started talking about Taekwondo and I told her that I had recently tested for my black belt (true to IWL). She asked to see it but when I brought her back to my house I could only find my Bo Dan belt and my really old Sr Yellow belt, but she believed that I was a black belt anyway. I also remarked about how my old Sr. Yellow belt had been too long for me.

Later on, same dream, I took the woman back to my taekwondo studio and when I got there everyone was practicing these jumping moves by jumping off of mini trampolines.

Dream 4:
Star wars dream. I was leading a squad of stereotypically jamacan battle droids, mon. One of them carried around a big boombox and I said they should turn it off because it would give away their position. The fight was taking place in a maze of hallways in the imperial senate. I then saw a boba fett looking guy with the darksaber and had a short fight with him, but I wasn't lucid for it so I won't be scoring points for that goal. It was obvious I was going to lose the fight but the battle droids turned out to actually be competent and threw bombs at not-boba-fett (instead of using laser guns which could be redirected back at them) and forced him to retreat.

Frag 1: I was At S's house. I remember I was talking with him about how proper exercise is important and he was ignoring me. I showed him how high I could jump and was surprised when I floated down slowly to the ground. This led to me getting entered into some kind of competition.

Frag 2: I was programming a 2d side scrolling action platformer, and getting paid a lot to do it. It was a game that would go on the Steven Universe page of the Cartoon Network website. I remember adding the ability for Steven to go into a bubble that would knock enemies out of the level but make your character hard to control.

Frag 3: I was in a very large Frat house, being some kind of exterminator. I was attempting to catch this gray goblin like creature. I caught it by dangling cheese on a fishing rod with a very large hook.

Frag 4: Something to do with a Y-shaped Banana.

Frag 5: I was in a college class. My compute slipped out of my lap and smashed on the floor. I tried to pick it up but when it did It moved around on its own, continually smashing itself to the floor. The professor looked at me scornfully. I apologized and said somewhat annoyed "Hang on, I'll be ready to start class when my computer is through with doing gymnastics under the seats."

Frag 6: I had done something wrong in the laundry, and when I opened the clothes in the dryer they were all stuck together and very stiff. It felt like they had all been washed with glue. I resolved to put them back through the wash a second time making extra certain I did the laundry correctly.

Wow, cooley, dreams at already 9:30 PM, way to go! How many hours of sleep/bed time does that entail?

Wish I was as disciplined, but went for late dinners instead.

Night 1:
1 frag, 1 dream = 1.5 points

Night 2:
5 dreams, 1 frag, wbtb = 7.5 points

Dreams were quite vivid night 2, with the highlight of being on a boat that was headed towards the Antarctic. As I was dressed rather lightly, I could feel the entire temperature change by focusing on the sensation. Cold in dreams feels great! An exploration of rare biological species followed once we arrived.

So my first two nights where not spectacular. in the first one i had pretty good recall and noticed 4 or 5 wakenings. to bad i didnt read my notes after waking because now a lot if it is fragmented and i will call the first half of the night as fragments and not as full dreams even tho i remembered them after waking. i had good chances of getting lucid but no lucidity at all^^
last night i couldnt concentrate on ld and recall too much because my gf was here and therefore no light at night and not too focused so i only remembered a small part after the final waking.

Spoiler for Run Jump Float:

Non-Lucid Lucid
I was in a dream trying to clear up non contractor tools to hide them from a contractor that drove up in a truck. I ended up on the roof setting them against the eves. I tried to find a way down from the roof wondering how I got up there I found a path down, but when jumping down I became Luicd [+10 First DILD]. I almost immediately became blind in the void, I decided just run and keep running eventually I begin to see, I see a few DC and tried to run towards them but they ran away screaming. I ran and ran but began to enter the void again, the sceen became more and more blured, but then I found myself in a crowd and recognized someone, I told them it was a dream, I ran my fingers thru the persons hair [+2 Interact with DC], they seemed dubious, so I performed a jump test [+1 RC] it took several tries but eventually I was floating in the air and flying slowly [+5 Fly]. However the crowd around me held out their arms near me as if they were carrying me, so the person still wasn't convinced. I woke

I did have awareness of the contest but with a one track mind was going for the run fingers thru the hair of 3+ DC, targeting the two initial screaming girls, and the recognized person, but one out of three isn't good enough Estimated Total Lucid Time about 1 min

Night Total 2 + 7 + 18 = 27 points
Contest Total 62 +27 = 89 points

night 2,3 2 1/2
Total 5 1/2

Dreamhighlights visitors, plants, sleeping

My first 2 nights were not overly spectacular. My WBTBs are likely going to make the bulk of my points unless I get some lucids, since I have been doing multiple WBTBs per day for a while now, and I don't intend to stop anytime soon either. Here's what I have:

Night 1&2:
Full Non-Lucid Dreams: 2 Points
Non-Lucid Fragments: 1 Point
WBTB: 4 Points

Total at end of day 2: 7 points

On a side note, my wife dreamt about the apocalypse, but not me yet. Wouldn't mind having some more dreams of that sort again, I used to have a quite a few of them months and years ago.

Four More Nonlucids, a WBTB, and facepalms all around. You know the drill.

Spoiler for nonlucidz:

Dream 1:

I was at a museum in an airplane hangar. The main exhibit was an artist from the 1950's who looked like Henry Ford. He liked to have doctors take out his organs and put in replacements while keeping the original organ in a jar of fluid that would keep it alive. He would paint the organ while it was out of his body. Then, he would go back to the doctors and have his original organ put back in, rinse and repeat until he he had painted every part of his body. He died for obvious reasons when he tried to paint his own brain and bribed his doctor to go through with the surgery.

I wandered around the museum and found a long table where kids were building with K-nex and Legos. I wanted to join them but I felt I was too old to get involved. I ran into S there.

Dream 2: I was at a fast food restaurant with my parents, cousins aunt and uncle. It was staffed by realistic human androids that could only understand your order if you clearly pronounced the prescribed name of the thing you wanted, and all of the products had marketable names so getting what you wanted was nigh impossible. I remember the thing I wanted to order was the "Krispy Cream Deluxe Krispy Chicken Wrap" or something like that. The dream carried on for several minutes and dream-dad got mad at me for holding up the line by not being able to get my order in properly. Eventually I just decided I would go hungry and went into the bathroom to get away from it all.

Dream 3: I was responsible for watching some family's baby. I think the father was a wealthy computer programmer. When the parents left he revealed he was intelligent and could walk and talk. I think the dream was a reference to the boss baby movie even though I didn't see it. The baby said to me in a british accent: "Look bub, you don't want to change my diaper, and I don't want you making stupid faces and giving me googly eyes. So i'm gonna be by the fireplace reading, give me a shout when you see their car coming back in so I can keep the act going. Don't tell anyone." The baby proceeded to take a thick unlabeled leather book, dress himself in a tiny robe, and sit in a leather armchair smoking a pipe and reading quietly.

Dream 4: I was driving home from college trying to beat a snowstorm and thinking a lot about a programming project I had to do. I did an RC when I got to a traffic light that had too many colors and lights, but failed to become lucid. In the dream I began doing a lucid dreaming podcast that I would frequently record while in the car and I remarked on the importance of Reality Checks and staying alert at all times.

I woke up for a WBTB after this dream, really hoping this time I'd finally find myself lucid. I fell back asleep but didn't even have any additional dreams.

As I woke up from my last LD this morning, I suspected I'd more points today than in the last few days individually. I tallied it in my head from memory later in the day, but it didn't quite add up to as much as I thought. Now that I'm reviewing things, I see the numbers leaning closer to how I originally assumed. Really makes me wonder...
