    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:

    Lucid, Layer 1/Layer 2

      -1-Spawn: Test Chamber 18. I continued playing through the chamber in the pillar room, and I noticed a catwalk above the exit, so I aimed at that instead of the exit. Suddenly, GLaDOS noticed that I was playing instead of Chell, so she was like, [insert standard AS greeting] and she retracted all the platforms at once, leaving me to fall into the next scene.
      [New Scene]
      I did a quick Google search of “GLaDOS and Cave Johnson.”
      [New Scene]
      I was looking at the radar loop for a storm from 1992. Next, I looked at the current loop prediction, and it was predicting very fast and short-lived snowfall. I was briefly lucid before getting covered in green stuff.
      -2-The house was filling up with neurotoxin, which nobody but me could survive in. Also, there were like 10-15 people there. A few protested at me reentering the building, but I ignored them and entered anyway, knowing that I was nearly immune to neurotoxin. I ran downstairs, and pushed a red ball out the window. (the largest of the house was completely different changed into an octagonal cylinder, about 10 feet across, and with 2 floors, the bottom floor being larger in area. Next, Brock(the mii) prepared a “train explosion” and set it off.
      [New Scene]
      I fell in some lava and “died.”
      -3-So after interacting with something, whoever was there started transforming into slightly-human moles at different times. My friend C and I were the last ones standing. [Scene: my bedroom at night] We knew we didn’t have long. But never that, because someone outside turned on a huge light that shined on the hills of snow outside, and made a beautiful view. We both rushed for our cameras, but before we could even turn them on, someone turned off that light. Next, C and I were watching gameplay of the dream version of GalCiv 1. The player stumbled across a planet, which was the planetary location of a Doctor Who episode, a trailer of which was what C and I were suddenly watching. The episode was titled, “The Internet.” On the planet, the population acted in person exactly the same way people would on the internet. The one clip I saw seemed pretty accurate.
      -4-I decided to speedrun Super Monkey Ball Deluxe…the Gamecube version that never happened. I looked to the left and saw M2K sitting next to me. I asked him, “Hey, are you Mew2King?” He said something like, “That name belongs to someone else at the moment.” Suddenly, we both were playing SMBD. He was getting pissed off.
      [New Scene]
      I was playing the dream version of Skyward Sword, where if I got to a certain point, I had to buy a green dinosaur to continue, which I luckily already had.
      [New Scene]
      Suddenly, a bunch of kids were riding those tiny karts on some train tracks. Some of them fell off the tracks, injuring some of the kids. While they were in pain, some guy was talking trash via video call.
      Lucid Time: 5-20 seconds
