Thread: Summer Competition 2024

was rewarded with a longish lucid dream, nice. Hope I calculated the points correctly?

Calculation looks good! Awesome chain by the way - good job noticing all those FAs.

1. Cliche, but it's a great learning opportunity! Try to pull apart what may not have worked and what worked on other successes.
2. That's great news. Recall will help you a lot.

Spoiler for Lucid dream:

I used MILD, reviewed my dream signs, and what I was gonna do lucid in that dream. Song “Hiraeth” by Clemens Ruh from prior dream kept playing through my head. Took me a while to fall asleep so I tried SSILD, which turned into WILD and I slid into light sleep paralysis. I asked for lucid dream, but nothing seemed to happen. I was super tired and felt awake in my bed. I assumed it didn’t work, but I worked up the energy to do a RC by looking at my hands. It took a lot of energy to move my hands through the sheets and lift my head. Lo and behold I had extra fingers, making this one of the most convincing false awakenings.

I immediately spring out of bed, and rub my hands to stabilize the dream. Everything is super vivid, however it feels like I have one eye closed so I spend a moment trying to regain depth vision. My first task is to control the elements. I’ve worked with water and wind before, and wanted to try fire for the first time. I lifted my hands in front of me and willed flames into being above my palms. It was really faint at first, but I imagined using my body heat/energy to ‘heat’ up the flames and they became more stable. Still fairly subdued, so I’d like to try again at some point. At that moment, a hyper-real, very physical/sensual man walked right up to me. I do not recognize him from waking life.

It was hard to deny his physicality and I could feel the warmth of his body and pull of his attraction. We chatted for a while and he wanted to engage in "things". We chat briefly about how it feels so real and physical, and if because of that it counts as much as in real-life.

At various points in our conversation I try to sneakily summon a wall that I can walk through since it is on my list as my second task, but unfortunately a wall doesn’t appear and the man is still a distraction haha. The scene shifts and I notice that the man now has the head of animal. This reminds me of my third intention which was to transform fully into an animal. I know it’s out of intended order, but seemed relevant for what was happening so I gave it a try.

I think of the leopard from my prior dream and feel myself morph onto all fours. I look down and see bright orange leopard paws and claws. They are little deformed and too bright so I spend a moment dulling the color and getting the shape right. At that moment I notice there is a wall in front of me. It seems like there are blue stained glass windows in the upper half, and I immediately think now's my chance to practice phasing through. In leopard form, I leap through, but realize I closed my eyes at the last second passing through so it doesn't count. I turn around and try again, but this time the wall almost flips aside like it’s a made out of flimsy plastic. I try one more time and make sure to keep my eyes open and focus on phasing through the wall fully and it works.

The whole time I’m doing this, the now animal-headed man is looking very confused and is trying to follow me back and forth through the wall. He ends up getting stuck on the other side after I phase through.

I end up landing into another false awaking, and do another reality check, but didn’t catch it that time so ended up slipping into a non-lucid dream.

Spoiler for Lucid Dream:

Sunday June 7th 2024

Ah, so she can do that, can’t she?

I am looking around, become lucid while doing so and decide to leave the place, I am currently outside my house in the middle of the street and the middle of the night.

But it doesn’t quite feels right. Still the earth of waking but not the same one, learning through Scan is always such a bother.

This time I take over a dream character by possession who lives close to the beach and learn a lot about this world from him. People have so many powers and use them so wrongly. He will be my vessel to free creatures that are being held captive by humans, of course.

I use him to quickly fly over from the town he lives at to the beach where things are happening at. When I arrive realize that he is actually friend with the person that I am planning to steal from, maybe as well kill and he isn’t very happy about the whole thing and tries to resist, so force him to sleep.

Once he is asleep go down and start searching both the ocean and the land to find the creatures, big cats that I am going to rescue today. Unfortunately the dream feels like it is coming to an end and wake up.

Back to sleep.

I am going around the beach talking to random people… this is so unlike me, become lucid. Once I am lucid start moving towards the ocean again and then walk a bit on the water. Not many creatures, dive into the water and see it isn’t very deep, a reef?

Go a bit further and see that not very far from the beach side, you can really see a huge fall, at least 100 meters and it only goes further, this place is connected to big… or deep ocean tides apparently. Somehow it feels important but since I am using the knowledge of the guy I am possessing ignore it.

Start swimming back up and then walk back to the beach and start registering people’s memories. Apparently that is a skill this guy actually uses so I won’t be having too much trouble with him fighting back, like when I was using Scan.

Learn enough as to pinpoint the location of the cats since the last time I was here.

Apparently his friend moved them as soon as she learnt he was here… this guy is troublesome, maybe I should just go ahead and kill everyone like normal.

Start getting frustrated and not sure what to do. The wind is getting crazy and this may harm the cats so just move my hand and stop the clouds from moving, push them back and change a bit the rotation of the planet enough just to make it so that the climate becomes calm for now, even though I know it will come back later.

Teleport to the sky and start watching from there, what should I be doing… possession of a DC is kind of not my thing, and this guy is annoying me as he keeps resisting. Don’t get to do much as can hear my alarm shortly after.

Back to sleep.

I am on the ground, on sand. Become lucid while standing up and decide to now investigate things a bit more seriously.

Take full control of the kid and put his consciousness to sleep. Start flying around and then can feel the girl detecting me. I know it is something related to sight so create a barrier around me to stop her sensing, but she can still somehow see from afar.

Become invisible and then continue flying around for a long time.

There are way too many places that sell fish, and I hate how fish are killed in general… this pisses me off. Get close to the locations and let the fish get away.

There is a place in particular with Octopi and so get to where they are being kept, extend my arm and let them out. One of them is BIG, and I actually feel a bit worried since their beak is so strong; it may not harm me, but maybe the kid.

The octopus actually just uses his hand to climb and them jump into the sea. By this point the girl is obviously onto us and apparently looking for him, but she is far. So I take my sweet time watching around some more and find a place preparing veggie pizza so take a few slices and eat them.

After eating them, the girl finally finds the guy but I am unable to be detected. Or at least I thought so. The boy had woken up and was using his own skills to let himself be known… this isn’t good for him.

The girl knows him, they are supposedly friends and yet she stabbed at him. Manage to evade mid-air and make him fly towards the location I can feel the girl is protecting.

We crash against a fence and make it fall. The little kid is bleeding but nothing bad. Once I get him back on his feet see a Jaguar outside of its cage and all the other exotic cats in their respective cages. The kid is a scared boy… he actually gets weak on his knees and falls down when the Jaguar gets close, can so clearly feel his fear.

In fact, he gets so weak that the girl manages to catch up to us and I can’t do much about it. At this point am also waking up so don’t worry about it too much and just allow myself to wake up.

Back to sleep.

I am being drowned… become lucid while fighting back with no luck. As soon as I gain lucidity start breathing underwater then pull the girl down the water with me and let all the cats free from their cages using TK.

The girl flies us both out of water and brings us flying towards a red warehouse, about to fall down due to the sea water running it down.

She isn’t very powerful, how is she surviving? I try to kill her by punching her but she becomes dust, then compress her with TK and my hands and she gets some damage but then becomes rubber. What?

Apparently, she is adapting to my attacks? No matter, start releasing thunder/electricity, since she is made out of rubber, this should not register as danger.

Two of her friends come, another man and a woman. I grab her and take her into a small room. She says I can’t hurt her since she is rubber “You can’t move, can you?” tell her, she finally realizes that the huge amounts of electricity have made her rubbery side become rigid due to heat and she is starting to slowly burn.

If I close the two doors for the room where I took her she should die suffocated by her own body burning. Nothing else to do. The man who came to rescue her grabs me so I kick him back, he loses consciousness. The woman tries also to save her so close both doors with TK and then just let the kid sit down, exhausted.

Should have no more problems with fighting the girl, she will suffocate. But then, it seems that the other woman also could use powers… and she rescued the cat dealer.

I am getting annoyed now. She is taken away and I try to use the kid again but he is way too tired, he eventually passes out and I wake up.

Back to sleep.

I am feeling dizzy, become lucid while rolling over and stand up “Are you finally awake?” says the man I had kicked before, ignore him and prepare to find the girl.

But there is no need, she is already here with us, she is also very mad. She screams things at the boy whom is getting a reaction out of it, I can feel tears flowing down his cheek. Force him asleep and then want to kill the girl when I feel myself being bolted down by water.

Is that what the other woman used before? The cat dealer takes the chance and she brings me down the ocean along with her, the other two follow suit and apparently all three of them can breathe underwater, except for my useless host.

I make him being able to breathe underwater and then stand up, no longer choking to survive. The woman prepares to attack so I start using TK on her to stop her movements; she then proceeds to break free and gains resistance to it… ok what?

Finally something even more strange happens, the cat dealer grabs me and I can feel the kid slipping down. She was actually grabbing me and not the kid? Prepare to move out of the way and see a spear created by the kid block my path, the other two are also doing things on their own.

I start laughing, had forgotten water moves sound by faster as it seems my laughter was too loud and made all fish scared and they swam away, the humans around me also seem to have problems with the sound, so I apologize.

“So, she is just evolving to survive whatever I throw at her?” ask them, but they ignore me. The kid tries to stab me with his weapon but it does absolutely nothing.

The other girl tries to control the water to make it go down my throat but I can just breathe underwater. Also make sure to push her away with a wave of the ocean itself. She freezes, she knew what happened and was no longer in the mood to fight.

Grab the spear and crush it under my hand for the kid to lose his fighting spirit, he is way too weak. The other guy was scared already and was swimming away.

Meanwhile, the cat dealer, she was fine, she knew that I could not kill her because she would just evolve to survive whatever.

Her ability was basically making her unable to be defeated by changing destiny and causality, but she was not the only one with those skills. I can change them and negate them too, should be simple to kill her but she was torturing non humans so wanted to learn a lesson.

Grab her head and then open a big mouth, she struggles but still gets into my mouth, dissolve her with acids. She becomes smaller and her body becomes resistant to acid, so I use a different type of dissolvent that works on things resistant to acids.

She then switches, her ability is about to teleport her out of my so block that and then close my mouth and gulp the girl down to my stomach.

She laughs and says will get out, then screams in pain as my body starts to digest her slowly and adapts to her changes, she being unable to escape.

Wonder how long it will take her to give up all hope and stop her ability, and allow herself to die? If she gains mental resilience, will block that causality and make her go back to being able to feel all the fear, all the pain and all the desperation. She won’t be getting out of this with me simply blocking her destiny manipulation to kill her.

Once I am sure she is fully sealed inside of me move the ocean aside and fly out of the water, then teleport all the non humans to their respective habitats and make sure humans won’t be able to lay a hand on them from now on.

Before I wake up, create another universe where civilizations are stuck at mediaeval times and teleport in there.

Arrive at a big castle with red towers and yellow walls. It is pretty but way too flashy. I am not very content with the location but it will work for now, wake up after that.

Wrote down 8 dreams/fragments + a lucid today. That's a record for me!
The lucid was pretty nice too, it had been a while since my last one. It was a weird thing between a WILD and a DILD. I was WILDing from within a dream, meaning it's technically dream-initiated so I'll count it as a DILD.
Sucks that I did the last step of my 3-step task without even considering the first two. Oh well, can't complain too much, still doubled my score in a single night

Let's see how I do going into the second week!

Night 6 and 7
Nothing to report here
