    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Purpose
    Dreams, notes, and other experiments to assist in achieving high-quality lucid dreams on a regular basis.

    Dream Initiated Lucid Dream (DILD): Lucid dreaming type that originates from the dreamer regaining awareness from within a dream.

    Wake Initiated Lucid Dream (WILD): Lucid dreaming type that originates from the dreamer maintaining awareness from waking near-directly into a dream.

    Wake Back To Bed (WBTB): Sleep cycle interruption technique used to achieve lucid dreams.

    1. Night of Wednesday 6/26/24

      Getting back into the swing of things with a potentially politically inflammatory dream, HUAK TUH!

      QuestionMark:
      I'm in a veterinarians' office with a pug-like dog. It has the "blue" fur color. The fur is very soft.
      The vet tells me that the dog's name is Question Mark.
      "But don't say it slow, like that. Say it fast like QuestionMark."
      "Is this puppy a boy or a girl?"
      "We don't know what they want to be yet."
      "What do you mean you don't know? Is the dog transgender?"
      The vet holds up the dog and I see a dick.
      "That's a boy dog." I say.
      "THESHIRECAT!" my girlfriend says in outburst.
      I'm near a hole in the wall, and I see some hands come out to pet QuestionMark.
      Initially I'm a little freaked out, but I realize they are kids so the creepy behavior is recontextualized into silly kid behavior.


      Being Around You:
      I'm at a large grocery store, maybe a cross between a Costco, Home Depot, and my middle school from back home.
      I'm walking down the hall and I see a small man who seems to have a deformity with his legs.
      I respectfully give him the space he needs to pass by.
      Next I come across a happy looking couple.
      The woman says to the man "I'm happy when I'm with you" as if in response to a question he had asked.
      I take a moment and think about my girlfriend, and I get a warm and fuzzy feeling.
      I decide I want to find her and express the same sentiment.
      I find her checking out the groceries at the register and give her a big hug from behind.
      I worry for a second she might be uncomfortable with that in public, but she doesn't mind.

    2. Night of Tuesday 11/7/23

      Went to bed at 10:30PM.

      Teleport Sprints:
      I'm in a highschool hallway that reminds me of one from the show, Stranger Things.
      HM is there and she has an umbrella. We have a brief conversation about some other function the umbrella has and she leaves.
      She's going to catch a bus, and I'm late for that bus. I try to catch up but I can't.
      ...
      I'm leaving JM's house after a game-night, but my car isn't around. I remember that I teleported here.
      I walk into the road and find a long stretch of open space.
      I break into a sprint and close my eyes. It reminds me of what Ness does in the intro to Super Smash Bros Melee.
      https://earthbound.fandom.com/wiki/Teleport
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXs4-M-ZiOg (at 1:02).
      When I open them, I've teleported to my childhood home.
      My friends are inside and they have used the kitchen chairs to make a fort.
      At one point a drink gets knocked into JM's face.
      ...
      I'm with my Dad and my Mom driving on a mountain road. Dad is driving and Mom is in the front passenger seat.
      There is a lake far down below us, and my Dad gets too close to the railing.
      We go over the edge. We are all panicking less than we should be as we go into freefall.
      I start to think about how I can survive. I think about undoing my seatbelt so that I don't get stuck underwater, or opening a door so that the water pressure doesn't hold them all shut.
      We impact the water and it isn't that bad. Turns out the water was not as deep as it looked.
      The car careens forward and then we do hit a larger body of water.
      I wonder if I can teleport my Mom away, but then I realize that I need a runway to do so.
      ...
      I'm at work with GO and CP. We are on the 2nd floor of our building, but it looks like it has elements of my middle school bandroom.
      There is a woodshop water fountain (the same one that was in the bandroom) and GO gets water in his face from mis-operating it.
      Another DC tells me "the woman is from the Maw, the Underworld".

      Recorded at 6:30AM.

      372 words for the night.


      Parts of these dreams felt semi-lucid. As in, I was using dream control to address situations that I thought presented danger.
      I'm excited that my mind gave me a way to teleport. Can't wait to try the teleport sprint in my next true lucid dream
