    Fantastical Adventures

    You can expect to find Time Travel, Game Elements, and Pony, among other things.

    Definitions. I use a 5-Layer system for classifying levels of lucidity without mentioning control. Each Layer has two optional variants, "Minor" and "Major", where one variant isn't necessarily better or worse than another.
    Layer 0 - The dream gives hints that you may be dreaming.

    Minor - You dream about lucid dreaming subject matter, usually in the form of conversation, text, themes, etc.
    Major - Something may not feel quite right in this level. There may be a sense that there are no consequences to your actions, or that you can stop the experience at any time.
    Layer 1 - You realize you're dreaming, but you are barely lucid. This isn't limited by time. Layer 1s can still last very long, just like any other layer.
    Minor - You wake yourself up within seconds.
    Major - You lose lucidity within seconds either by distraction or false awakening.
    Layer 2 - You realize you're dreaming, but complete understanding of the situation does not properly sink in. Not caring enough to continue may occur.
    Minor - Dream characters are unaware of the dreamstate.
    Major - Dream characters are lucid.
    Layer 3 - The full implications of the situation are understood. You are aware of what DCs are.
    Minor - Dream characters are unaware of the dreamstate.
    Major - Dream characters are lucid.
    Layer 4 - The full implications of the situation are understood, and you have full waking consciousness. Memory and logic function properly.
    Minor - Dream characters are unaware of the dreamstate.
    Major - Dream characters are lucid.

    Abbreviations: Layer X = LX. Variations are like this: Layer X Minor = "LX-", and Layer X Major = "LX+".

    Procedure - A routine I use to increase lucidity.
    Initialization - Stabilization at the beginning of the Plan
    Plan - A routine I use to reach Layer 4 and solidify the environment.

    -1-, -2-, -x-. - Indicates the start of a new dream.
    [New Scene] - Indicates the start of a new scene from the same dream.

    Color Key:
    Non-Lucid
    Layer 0
    Lucid, Layer 1/Layer 2
    Lucid, Layer 3
    Lucid, Layer 4

      10/15/13 | Waterspout, Lightning, Motorcycle
      So when I saw that waterspout-looking cloud on the lake, I grabbed my camcorder but it was dead, so I got my other camera and took a picture. Next, I went outside and saw cloud-to-cloud lightning that was really close. Next, a slow bolt started at the ground, slowly started, climbing, and sounded really big because it was in the middle of the street. Two more happened, the first with a plane, the second with an anti-gravity motorcycle that was hit.

      10/23/13 | WWHD, Glitched Islands, Gold Armor, Iron Knuckles, Space
      It began with me played WWHD. I said that I got everything in the game until my older sister notified me that I hadn’t gotten the gold armor yet. (Gold Armor allows me to eliminate an iron knuckle in two hits). Also, it was day time on the island, and the Great Sea looped with glitched islands. I then dropped inside the hole at the top of the island. First, I saw and killed a white Iron Knuckle. Next, I walked into the next room where I had to guide these blue text boxes across the far wall. Then I suddenly acquired the gold armor, and I killed an Iron Knuckle in two hits. I went back outside during the night and I saw several galaxies in the sky.
      [New Scene]
      I was playing GalCiv2, but on the scale of the observable universe. Thousands of galaxies on screen. I looked inside a few to find some planets, but found none until SEB? 5???, which housed several.

      10/24/13 | Secret Underground Place, Nature-themed, Dark and Green
      First, I had found an awesome place that I wanted to keep secret, but I failed in that. Some girl spotted me running towards the entrance and followed me there. I knew the place was dark, so I went to get a flashlight. The flashlights were on the floor inside a building. I held the PS4 controller that was next to them and it was perfect. Then, I walked into a heavily modified version of my house. The interior east side had windows xp and 95 set up side-by-side. [Timeskip] Mom turned evil, and attempted to catch me, so me and a couple of girls that followed me quickly entered the secret place via hole and jumped in. This time, it was a short tunnel. Climbing through it, I got to the other side…which was a FA.

      Alexander, Lightning, Intense Game

      I was playing a high-speed video game as Alexander (main char from King's Quest VI). The rule of the current room was simple, but intense: Damaging lightning would spawn just in front of me in the direction I was moving, about once every second. I caught on to the pattern, and zig-zagged to counter it, occasionally messing up and getting hit. The floor was blue and had a shallow depth of standing water. This is all I remember.
