    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

      -1-I recall a silly forecast-high of 31±2°F for lots of places in the pacific ocean. Later, I received a book that had different versions of the same picture of a flower and a bee.
      -F-History exam in a building with occasional door problems.
      -F-Cousins and I playing WWHD.

      -1-I was roaming around town for some reason. I had never been in this town before. Later, I found a historical skull that was supposedly 4000 years old. Some kid came in a messed it up. I guess it wasn’t important. Suddenly, a super duper snow machine turned on. This wasn’t regular snow; the machine shot it in a straight line and froze the legs of anyone in its path. This happened a couple times to a couple of people. I pulled them both out before it consumed them, only to be attacked myself. My legs were stuck as I gradually froze.
      -2-I was watching a paintball game with a variety of weapons. There was a borderline AR/Sniper, a P90, and another gun. The P90 guy was a team captain, so he had the camera POV. He got a long-range kill after a sweep of the area. Sadly, I don’t remember any map layout.
      -F-Something about black holes.
      -F-Something about not attending classes, then forgetting it’s the weekend.
