LD 108 - Donuts
I was at a hotel. There was an old guild mate playing on a laptop in lobby. I talked to him about someone messaging me in-game, trying to get into the guild. I went outside the hotel. Gloomy weather, gray sky and not too warm. Some of my friends were grilling some food near the hotel. I joined them for a bit, before returning to the hotel.

I found myself in the wrong hotel room. The lights were off and the room was actually like 10 rooms. It was a massive place. Scene changed abruptly again.

I'm suddenly in my parents' place. I'm in the living room and a donut suddenly appears next to me. I grab it. Then I notice that the kitchen is full of people. My family is there along with several DCs I don't recognize. A man creates a doorway in the kitchen and I'm supposed to chase him. I can't move from where I am. All the DCs cheer me on. I try to teleport. Just willing it to happen does nothing. I throw the donut and try to teleport to it. It fails too. I close my eyes and visualize the frozen planet.

I "wake up" exactly where I was. Now there's only my family in the kitchen and no random DCs. I start talking about the previous dream. Dad asks questions about it and I explain things like dream control and stuff.

LD 109 - Sword fight with Bifrost teleporter (All the excitement happens non-lucid.)
I'm not myself, but an asian man with a superpower. It's a blood-related power, allowing me to turn myself into a blood-like liquid and engulf people to absorb them. My power is gentle, I do not harm anyone I absorb and can release them later.

The dream starts on the backyard of my parents' place. I sense danger and prepare for a fight. I'm a master swordsman so of course I have a katana. A blinding beam of light comes down from the sky with a booming sound. I recognize this to be the Bifrost. My foe appears from the light, a massive man similar to the last villain from Bleach: Yhwach. Our fight begins and he tries to overpower me with his sword. I'm stronger than him and easily parry each attack. He has the Bifrost and dances between new beams of light that he opens and closes effortlessly to teleport around me as he keeps attacking. Each time he teleports, I hear a boom as a new beam of burning rainbow light appears closeby. This sound gives me time to react and the fight goes on. When I'm about to be hit, I turn into my blood form to dodge. Since we both have powerful abilities to dodge damage, the fight doesn't end.

Scene changes. I'm in a gloomy post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies. I'm still the asian man with the absorbing power. False memories tell me that there are others with similar power, but I've engineered mine so that it doesn't destroy absorbed targets. I fight my way through a building full of zombies, looking for a man. The building is tall and I find the man on a floor 9 or something. I hold the door as zombies try to get in. The man looks like Terry Crews. He's a scientist and has a glowing magic wand. It looks like it's made from lightning. The window seems to be our only way out. I tell him to jump with me as I take the wand and get outside. When I'm already hanging outside the window, the man turns evil and tries to take back the wand he gave me. I don't give it back. I leave the man to deal with the zombies and I jump. As I fall, I try to fly. I fail, but I land safely. I'm surrounded by zombies. I try to fly again and fail.

Failing to fly reminds me of lucid dreams and I become lucid. "I'm dreaming!" I tell myself while looking at a horde of zombies around me. I want to improve my dream control and decide to start by recalling my waking life. I'm hoping that would improve lucidity. While I focus on recalling waking life stuff, I lose the dream.

Yeah, should just focus on the dream. I'm also pretty much over my flu so that should be good for dreams.

Fragments

-Winter, in a bus with dad and brother. Dad drove, I told him where to go.

-Sister and kids. At my parents' place. Outside there were kids playing around with lawn mowers and sleeping on a running lawn mower. I tried to get them to stop.

I decided before sleeping that one of my goals is to learn to control fear. I've struggled with it in lucid dreams. Ask and you will receive...

Intruders
I falsely awaken to hear two guys moving in the apartment. They are moving towards my room. I feel fear. I want to get up and defend myself, but my body is paralyzed. I see the rest of the dream in 3rd person as I fight the paralysis, but simply cannot move. I struggle to the point of waking up.

Control Your Fear
I'm a researcher and studying how small animals deal with all kinds of stressful situations. I handle many dead rodents. We basically torture them. I don't feel like I belong there, I don't agree with any of it.

Scene changes a bit, now we are studying the same thing with human prisoners. One of them has secretly been eating burnt wood, chewing it into a strange paste that he has made into some kind of armor. He seems to also be immune to electricity. Our weapons don't shock him when he eventually escapes.

Scene changes. I'm in my parents' place, but the house has many more corridors and rooms. One room in the center is different. It's built for food storage I guess, but it's relatively empty. Monsters start appearing from that room. These demons are large, pale, winged humanoids. Their arms and legs are extremely long and skinny. Their fingers are sharp and long claws. They have no eyes.

I spend a week fighting them. I lock the storage room's door the first time I see one inside, but these demons haunt me no matter what. When I close my eyes, they are waiting. I assumed they come from my dreams, but eventually they start appearing when I'm awake. One day I kill one of the monsters and leave it in the storage room. Moments later I open the door and right at the door, towering over me is another one. I stare at it and tell myself it's not real. I swipe at it with my hand, imagining it to be like a mirage that would vanish. It takes effort, but I manage to make that one disappear with willpower.

I'm sleeping in my parents' bedroom to keep them safe. They can't see the monsters. It's night and my dad wakes up. He asks me about these monsters. I tell him that I've been fighting them for a week and how they appear. One of them appears over the bed and floats slowly towards me. I wait. The demon hovers right in front of me and nothing else happens. I fear this is a bad choice, but I decide to let it be. I touch the demon's face with my hand. Dream ends.

I'm on a train with my family. We approach a city with massive buildings that pierce through the clouds. We are above the clouds and see the tops of some buildings. The train is on rails that go through these buildings like some sick rollercoaster. I feel the G-forces as the train makes hard turns inside the dark tunnels going through the buildings. I tell my dad "Can't help but think how many little parts of the system could fail and kill us all. This is why I hate cities." He doesn't answer. The hard turns and tunnels continue. I fear death, but another voice in the back of my mind whispers "Thousands of engineers spent countless hours to make everything safe. Trust them." This logical side can't silence my fears.

We arrive at the station, which is on top of a building. We are amazingly high up. The place looks like an airport. My dad has too much to carry, while I have nothing. I take some of his burden to help; I carry his laptop briefcase. We don't follow the path we are supposed to take and the asian staff panics a bit about it.

Out of nowhere, my dad pulls out a silenced pistol, grins and shoots a man. My dad would not do that, is my first thought. My second thought is "Take cover!" since he aims at me next, still grinning. I run behind some metal pillars, like something you would use on a bridge. My dad stands still and shoots at the pillars. I'm confused and afraid.

"No." I tell myself. "This is enough." Lucidity brings some confidence, and I decide to face my father. I come out from my cover and meet my father, who has transformed into a monster like the ones in Gears of War games. He's about twice as big as before. One of his arms is a rocket launcher. He takes aim. I keep walking towards him and hold my hand out block the rocket. "I'm indestructible." I tell the dream, and it is so. The rocket hits me and explodes, but I am truly immortal in my current form. I touch the monster that was my dad and force him to transform back. The being fights my will for a while, but eventually turns back into my dad. He doesn't say anything and looks confused. I hold him and help him off the airport.

Evil Lair on Acid Planet
I'm on another planet. The bad guy is explaining my situation. His lair is surrounded by an ocean of acid. As he says that, I have a flashback of the facility falling from the sky, into the green ocean of acid. Small islands of red stone provide a nice contrast. The main bad guy disappears and removes the roof of the room I'm in. The alien minions in the room start fighting me as acid starts pouring into the room. The top of the room is just a bit under the surface, so I have some time, but I need to find higher ground.

I suddenly have a futuristic gun. I'm not entirely sure what the gun does. It's a small white pistol that shoots an orange ball of electricity. So the ideas of it's function pop into my head "It makes enemies dance." I see this happen, the small alien men dance towards the orb. "No! It attracts enemies like a black hole!" Then I see this happen, the aliens are violently pulled towards the orb and the orb disappears. Then I settle on it's function: "The orb amplifies momentum." I wait for the right moment. The aliens are running towards me, I shoot the orb in front of them and use telekinesis to submerge my end of the room into the acid. The aliens were running towards me and the orb amplifies that momentum, so they all fly over me into the acid.

I use telekinesis to lift the room out of the acid. More aliens arrive to the room and are confused what's going on. They are ignoring me. I notice a large duffel bag full of my clothes. I grab what I can into my backpack and start looking for a way out of the facility.

Fragments
-A hidden school, forest, pretty girls. Most people had mystical, supernatural abilities. The girls were evil?

-Driving across country with two guys. Picked up people on the way.

After 6.5h of sleep, 40 min WBTB. Stomach pain.

Fragment
-After a shower my hair was incredibly blond and shining brightly. I kept staring into the mirror. This was not normal.

Morty's Room
I'm in a weird three story house. I'm eating and talking with my roommate. We had a disagreement regarding food, I think. I have no interest in arguments, so I leave. Every corridor and staircase in this wooden building is too small and uneven. The walls are crooked too. Reminds me of Harry Potter.

I find a couple S.H.I.E.L.D. agents with a plastic bag. There's a portal of some sort in the bag. Hey! That's how I got to the frozen planet the first time! I stepped into a large plastic bag and I was instantly teleported. One of the agents steps into the bag and disappears. He's dead. There's dangerous white insect-like aliens through the portal. I have a plan and lead the agents to another house.

We make our way to Morty's room in another three story house. Morty from Rick and Morty. I tell people to remove all furniture, we are turning the room into an alien altar and tricking the aliens out through the portal. I see Morty being real confused about this sudden invasion into his room. I notice my dream journal on the floor. My dream journal? I block out everything else happening in the room.

My vision zooms to the open journal page. There's a colored drawing on it. The scene is in the style of Futurama. I dive into the artwork. It's the view from inside a green flying car. I'm sitting on the backseat and looking up through the purple tinted sunroof. I see another flying car through the sunroof. Calvin and Hobbes are in that car and another tiger similar to Hobbes, but with different colors is driving/flying. We are high above the city and time stands still.

I was in a house with three floors. Agent from Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D was looking after some captured monsters. First I was just an observer in this world. I was invisible to others, but had a physical form. I was wearing headphones and believed I was seeing an episode of the tv show I mentioned earlier. Through my headphones I heard Cryaotic. He made me pay attention to the shadows of the characters in this house. I saw a knife appear in the shadow of the agent. Cry said it was a sign of death. Seeing that knife meant the agent was going to die and there was nothing that could stop it. I threw my headphones off, I didn't want spoilers, but I kept hearing Cry even without wearing them. No one in the house saw or heard the headphones, I was like a ghost.

I saw the monsters upstairs. They somehow got free from their shackles. One of them was a fit looking blonde haired woman with a long row of sharp teeth. They started sneaking down the stairs. I got flashes of shadows. Knives slowly appeared from everyone's shadow. I felt intense fear. Whatever was creeping behind these shadows was something powerful. The monsters found knives and the agent sleeping downstairs. I woke up before they killed him.

Outpost on an alien planet
I see two soldiers walking through a desert on an alien planet. They pass by an old human outpost. My vision goes to the outpost. Looks like no one has been here in centuries. There are two black pods on the yard. Looks like they dropped from space. Lights on one of the pods is blinking. Something inside is still alive and trying to get out. The female soldier passing by notices this too. "I hope they make it out. Fight." she says without stopping.

Forest of Giants
I see a group of humanoids traveling through an alien forest. The trees look like redwood trees, but they are over 160 meters tall and fairly wide. I recognize two of the DCs: Storm from the X-men movies (Halle Berry) and Jason Momoa. The group is trying to sleep when a T-rex appears from the forest. Storm wakes Jason up and asks him to help. He looks groggy, but gets up without a word and walks to his own dinosaur pet, a raptor that's only slightly taller than him. He takes a dagger made of dinosaur claw from his bag and rips two large metal pieces from an abandoned car to work as weapons. The T-Rex has transformed into a giant man with a greatsword. The 80 meter tall man looks like Yondu from GotG. Jason drops the metal pieces, won't be of use against a giant sword.

I become Jason and the dream turns first person. I jump away from Yondu. I go to the nearest tree with my superhuman jumps and with two more jumps I climb 100 meters. Yondu misses his first swing at me while I jump up. Seeing the sword up close is terrifying. It looks like Frostmourne without the blue glow. I jump off the tree and try to land on Yondu. He swings the sword again and barely misses. My heart nearly stops, but I land on Yondu and my poisoned dagger sinks into him. He is paralyzed and falls down. I make several long cuts on him with the dagger, making sure he won't get up ever again. I walk back to the group. Storm thanks me.

Dark, Diablo-like RPG world. I was just a disembodied observer, watching my brother play. It looked like Diablo based on the UI, but there were some changes. The dungeons and quests were not familiar. You could change your class in the inventory screen. There were colored buttons for Hunter, Necromancer and Legion. Only these were visible because my brother had some gear for each class. When you clicked one of the classes, the game automatically equipped the proper gear and skills if you had them. It didn't work perfectly.

My brother was in a dungeon killing a ton of skeletons while he had a buff active. The buff improved loot for a short time. When it was ending, a golden skeleton spawned and dropped a ton of good stuff. My brother had trouble managing his inventory and unequipped his gear by accident. He was playing Hunter and Necromancer. The button for Legion was red so I assume it was a warrior-type class. I did not see it in action though.

My brother teleported to a statue inside a cave. The statue was like a dragon's head. It started glowing and speaking. It told my brother about a magical tree. My brother wanted to cut the tree down, because he knew what would happen if he did. I hadn't gotten to this point in the game and didn't want spoilers. I tried to close the game. First attempt just made me jump back in time. I tried again, focusing on pressing Esc that didn't exist. The game slowly closed. A windows desktop was revealed. It was full of shortcuts. Bunch of black and red icons in the middle. Video files, for youtube maybe? This desktop was not familiar. I woke up shortly after. I think this is the first time I've closed a game in a dream. I have paused the dream before, believing I was watching a video on my computer and jumped out of the dream that way. I guess that's pretty close.

The Nightmare
I find myself in another MMORPG. Reminds me of Night Elf starting area from WoW. It's night and some plants glow in the distance. We are next to a small stone path near some river. I'm just observing as my brother is logged in with my account and switches between characters. I see names above their heads. Immolation and Rohan were two of them. Rohan was some sort of lizard person.

There's an npc next to us. My brother talks with the NPC, asking about "the Nightmare". Apparently it's like a red magical fog that spreads around this world. Everyone's experience in the fog is unique, but they all see demons. My vision wanders away from my brother. I find the Nightmare and step in, manifesting a physical form for myself as I do. It's not actually fog: air just seems to be deeply red/orange inside it. It's hard to see far away, a wall of red blocks the view. I see the outline of a massive demon emerging from the wall of red. Two horns, fur, hooves and a tail. The demon talks to me. Can't recall what he said, something intimidating I'm sure.

I decide it's too early to face demons. I teleport to an area I can level in. I'm back in the Night Elf area. I follow the path and grab quests from NPCs along the way. I'm apparently level 4. I can get level 5 quests but level 6 ones are still invisible to me. I do the quest closest to me. It involves a lost letter. I find it a few steps off the path. I pick it up and put it in a mailbox. Some NPC sees this and advises me to leave a message in the letter so I get a reward. I take the letter and sit down on a bench. It starts to rain as I write the note. A baseball cap materializes on my head so I have some cover while writing. After that I wander in the nearby forest and overhear NPCs talking about dressing up in silly costumes.

Ghost Girl in the Kitchen
I'm at a friends house having dinner. The scene is not stable, at some point it looks like my parents' place, but then transforms into an apartment on the third floor and back to my parents' place. I put macaroni casserole and mandarin oranges on my plate. There was a third food item, but I can't recall what it was. Some of the people in the room I know. There was a black girl who talked to her friends in Swedish. I took a wild guess that she would understand English, when I chatted with her, and I was right.

People were talking about the first three God of War games being free downloads, since they were so old. I focused on listening and my mind wandered into another scene. The new scene is a game. The room is full of pillars with needles sticking out of them. Some of the pillars have safe spots to stand on, but they are small. I jump from pillar to pillar without shoes. Landing on the needles hurts, but I can will the pain to be minimal. I reach the end of the pillars and land on a couch. It's a familiar blue couch. There's a cat sleeping on it. I'm at my parents' house. I walk into the kitchen.

My parents and a couple of unfamiliar DCs are sitting around the table and trying to solve some young girl's problem. The girl claims there's an evil spirit linked to her. I notice some chocolate on the table and grab some. I walk around the table and see a dark haired girl with red eyes and a massive head lying on the ground. "You talking about her?" I ask. A lady, who I assume is the medium, sitting next to the cursed girl replies "You can see her?" "Yeah" I answer and approach the spirit. I pat her on the head. The spirit gets up. When she moves fast, part of her separates, like she's liquid. She quickly reformed though. I wanted her to look less scary. She transformed into a normal looking girl with long dirty blond hair and a big smile. She's not scary at all! We invented a secret handshake on the spot.

I was exploring a dark, empty hospital or something. I checked the room, put my flashlight on the table and scavenged some ammo and what not. I didn't have a lot of time before a group of 5 enemies found me. One of them was a massive muscular zombie. He was like a small car, barely fit through doors. The other monster I focused on was a banshee: blue ethereal woman flying through walls and wailing. I had a bunch of guns. I can't recall which weapon I had out first. Pistol or rifle? Something like that. I switched to a flamethrower but I didn't have enough space to back away from them. I was trapped in a corner and died.

Dream continued from a previous save, like in a game. This time I knew where they would be coming from. I took out my shotgun and walked to the door they came from previously. In a small dark bathroom they were dormant and waiting. I shone my flashlight on the zombie man and he slowly turned to look at me. Then I started backing up and shooting. They were really durable. I regretted starting with a shotgun. Should've used a grenade launcher or something. I couldn't kite the banshee. She phased through the floor and grabbed my leg. I was done, again.

That "monsters" tag gets a lot of use in my DJ Most consistent dream sign of mine, for sure.

I was not myself, I was a father with dark curly hair. My wife and two kids, daughter and son, had dark curly hair too. I had false memories, a lot of them. The world I was in ended. Apocalyptic event that wiped out almost everything. Before it happened, we escaped into another reality. A world with magical creatures and dangers that were all new to us. It wasn't a world were my family would be safe, so I tried to find my way back to a portal.

To get back we needed a boat. We were in a flooded city. Like Manhattan with 10 meters of water on the streets. Frog-like men lived here. The surface was covered with water lilies and other such plants. After years of trying to survive there, I managed to put together a makeshift boat and led my family through a tunnel that I recall was the way to a portal. Several rapids and waterfalls later we passed through a gate leading out of this world.

When I saw the smooth, green ground, hills in the distance and a mountain with a castle on top, more false memories came back to me. This used to be just a flat green surface, an artificial world with nothing in it. A pocket dimension that humans built. It was created as a safe haven for us, when the world was destroyed. Now it looked somewhat complete. I led my family to a small house nearby and we met a woman. She kindly let us stay in her home. Some food was prepared, beds made and my wife chatted with the lady. I kept asking what year it was, because clearly we had been gone a long time, since this world was now complete. She didn't tell me. I searched the house, the food items for best before dates etc. I found nothing.

Sad and frustrated, I wanted answers. What happened to the survivors? What sort of state was the world in? I headed towards the door. Her front door didn't open into the pocket universe anymore, it led to the old world. It was night and a destroyed city opened up in front of me. Piles of rubble and monsters wandering around. The lady followed me outside and offered to guide me, if I insisted on exploring. She told me to stay away from the Gravity Wheels: big wheels rolling around on their own, made of human-like flesh.

Another type of monster was in our path. Very Rick and Morty -style appearance: ugly, slug-like, dirty blue and spits green acid. I watched how one of them spit acid on another poor explorer and he melted instantly. The lady showed me how the monsters shrunk when you scared them. She ran at one yelling and the monster shrunk to the size of a cat. It was harmless like that. While running past them, I failed to scare one and I got sprayed with acid. I waited for it to melt me, but I was fine for some reason.

We went into a tunnel and found a couple teenage girls doing drugs. I asked what year it was. One of them smiled and said "It's...six?" like it was obvious. "Six years after the end?" "Yeah." Alright. I was happy with that answer.

This has been a recurring theme in my dreams: World ends and I'm forced to move on, survive and find my place in the world again. I actually really enjoy dreams like this, even when they are sad.

I'm in another world with dragons, samurai and some form of magic. Many heroes are looking for a hidden treasure, but fail to find it. A small, bald old man stands on the edge of a jungle, on a cliff. In front of him about five kilometers away there is a massive chasm in the side of a mountain. I can see a cavern full of treasure inside the chasm. The piles of gold are massive.

The old man flies down to the treasure. A bit later a boy dressed like a warrior follows him. He rides a massive dragon made of water. A magic spell he knows, I assume. He also has two small dragons following him.

The boy enters the cavern full of gold and confronts the old man. I'm there with my brother as well. The boy is angry that the old man has been hiding the treasure all this time. The old man tries to calm him down by saying it was for a good reason. I look around and spot a huge egg. It's the size of a house. There's a metallic serpent coiled around the egg that looks like a colorful jewel. It looks quite pretty. "You have a dragon egg here?!" I ask, but before he can say anything, an adult red dragon enters the cavern. We all spread out and get ready to fight. The small dragons that followed the boy try to attack the red dragon with fire. It does nothing. The red dragon rears it's head, preparing to turn us to ash. Just before the flames reach me, the scene ends.

I'm in an ancient Japanese city. My brother was killed by the dragon. There is a statue of my brother in the middle of the town. There's writing carved all over the statue, memorable things my brother said. People have a large brush and paint over the carvings with ink, like writing them again. It's my turn, but my hands shake too much to use the brush. I dip my hand in the ink and swipe over the word "No". I walk away and fail to hold back tears. I bawl and collapse into a little ball against a wall.

I'll start this post with a few dream fragments from past week...or two:

-I saw a huge fiery space rock falling down, lighting up the evening sky. My vision jumped to space. I saw the fireball fly around the planet twice, then it escaped Earth's gravity and disappeared.

-Thanos and Avengers were fighting on a distant planet over the green infinity stone. Thanos got the stone. My vision jumped to space. I saw a black and gray planet, like it was made of metal. It had a small moon as well. The planet and it's moon teleported, as Thanos used the stone.

- I ran into a tall woman in some sort of barn or whatever. Somehow I knew she was a monster, like I had met her before. "I know what you are." I told her. Her expression changed. I shouldn't have said anything. I tried to run past her as she was transforming. Her legs and arms grew longer and she grabbed me with one hand. She lifted me up against the wall as her pretty human face turned into a disgusting maw. Then she screamed. It was the loudest freaking screech. It was painful to hear it.

Dreams from today

Exploring another alien planet

I was on an alien planet, in a massive city with humans, inside a research facility. I was hungry, and found vending machine with something resembling pink and white pudding. I wondered if it was safe to eat. I tried to read the ingredients from the side. First of all, the ingredients were in an alien language. I couldn't read it. I kept looking at the cup as I walked through the empty corridors. I found a lab with three researchers growing bacteria. Two of them was my age, one of them was a girl. The oldest guy was leading the study and clearly busy. As he ran around the room, I still tried to read my pudding cup. There was a part that was in Finnish now, but all the ingredients were alien to me. I don't know what I was expecting. The female researcher told me it was safe to eat. She had straight black hair.

I left the research facility with the girl. A wide street was full of people. We walked past a Quidditch arena. The city was clean and futuristic. I tried to talk with the girl. I asked her name, but she didn't give it at first. After asking a couple of times, she turned towards me and told me her name, but all sounds were muffled as she told it. I couldn't hear it.

Somehow we end up in water. We are going to her friends house that's in some water filled cave apparently. As we dive, this extremely strong current carries us into complete darkness. I HATE it. I summon a glow stick or something, but it barely provides any light. I see small glimmers of light as the group of people I dived with pass by me. There are some ruins in the cave that we are surging through incredibly fast. I spot these structures when I get really close. I'm spinning out of control as the current keeps carrying me.

We end up in a large air pocket in the cave. There are houses built above the water and it's still very dark. I crawl out of the water, onto a wooden walkway in front of the houses. The group is exploring the place. I hear growling. There is a monster dog here. One guy from the group know the dog and I get the idea that the dog is friendly. I summon a flashlight so I can see the dog. Very alien looking dog, but seems chill around the other guys. Tentacles reach forward from my flashlight and scratch the dog. He seems to enjoy it. Dream ends.

Mice Village

I was in a snow covered farm-like area. There was a large group of people behind me, some I recognized as old schoolmates. The place doesn't look even remotely familiar. The winding path leads to a pond that's partly frozen. I see a cat on the other side of the pond. I jump towards the cat. I make it over easily. I look back and signal one of my friends to jump there. The pond looks a lot larger from this side, no human can make that jump.

I continue forward. The outdoor area starts changing into a building progressively. Wooden crates, large shelves, floor panels...and suddenly there's walls and a ceiling, I'm inside a building. The group follows. Among the crates we find tiny houses. Then we see mice. We are all suddenly tiny, mouse-sized. It becomes a bit hazy, but we climb the shelves and meet with some talking mice. We don't trust them. We arm ourselves with weapons found in the area: tiny golden sawed-off shotguns and stuff like that. The shelves are separating two rooms, behind them is a human-sized toilet and a lionman in sitting on it, reading a book or a magazine.

I wander off as a disembodied observer and find Cartman. Then I find the rest of the South Park crew and the creators Matt and Trey. Matt and Trey acknowledge that they are inside the world they created and that it's weird.

10.9
-I was chatting on IRC in the dream. I recognized two nicks to be from DV: Centroid and Machanic. (I don't think I've seen Machanic, Centroid I have.)

-There was a hospital in the middle of a desert. I was outside. A man wanted to put restrains on me. He looked scared. I agreed to this, because I had some supernatural condition where I lost my mind randomly and transformed into a monster. I could feel my sanity fading and I think I summoned a sandstorm in the area.

-I'm at the bottom of some sea. It's dark and I'm swimming away from a shark. I hate it. Then a huge maw rises from the darkness and opens up. It's some sort of massive monster squid. It sucks a lot of water in, and I can't escape. I yell, die and wake up.

13.9

-Two dreams where women were way too friendly towards me. Semi-lucid due to that. I had some awareness.

14.9

Lucid dream: I was in a really gloomy house. Wooden, dark, broken house with two floors. There was some sort of bad guy there. I think I was hunted and then tortured. The dream ended badly and started from the beginning. I realized that and wondered, if it's safe to stop the normal progression of the dream and do my own thing. The surrounding gloomy room now looked more like my grandma's house. Still dark and broken down. I wanted to summon someone. I imagined pulling someone up from nothing, like pulling a rabbit from a hat. Only a square shaped head appeared. I visualized a person and the head grew a body in front of me. I had visualized my brother, so the squarehead was now my brother, even though he looked nothing like him. I tried to talk to him. He barely said anything. I wandered the house with him and encountered my mom. Lucidity faded away and I continued to dream non-lucidly for several hours.

-I was on an island. I was alone, no signs of life. There was some forest and green hills. I feel like something great happened in the dream, but I only recall wandering on that island.

-The Avengers were in their base. Ironman was heading off on some mission. Thor's actor was playing a SHIELD agent. The elevators were weird high tech things. I manifested a body. I had a large 6 sided die. It was black with a lot of dark gray symbols in it. The symbols were barely visible, but some of them started glowing if you looked from the right angle. Ironman came to look at it too. It was a message. "It's her..." was the first part of the message. I can't recall the whole thing. The dream skipped to some temple ruins far away. Ozymandias from Watchmen was fighting Joker on a huge stone staircase leading deep underground. Both sides had a ton of knives. Dream jumped again. I was underwater, a glacier was melting. I surfaced and saw Firestorm (DC Comics hero). I was thinking about the glaciers melting and what that meant, what it would lead to.

-I was living in some mansion. My mom told me about my famous relative Aku. (fiction, I have no such relative) Outside the mansion there was a field and some school kids playing. The teacher started making some food. Suddenly there was a large table full of food and everyone was eating. I recall eating pancakes and some toffee/chocolate dessert that was rose flavored? The rose chocolate toffee was on a stick and shaped like a fish. Tasted good. I wasn't that hungry though. I talked with the teacher and told her my home was 16km away. I believed to be in Pori, it looks like.

Killer Whales and a Forest Fire
I was with three friends on the shore of some large lake or an ocean. It was probably an ocean, considering there was four killer whales wandering close to the shore, almost like they were waiting for us to get in the water. (I have dream of killer whales a lot. Well, I've seen them in like 7 dreams in the past 3 years.) My mind is not focused. My thoughts wander, trying to make sense of the scene and for a moment the dream becomes a mess. The gist of it was that I was in a movie. I saw really short scenes of people going into the water getting away from the orcas. I think flying was involved.

I focus and the burst of disjointed scenes end. I continue walking with my friends. We climb a hill and sit down to talk and enjoy the view. The friends I'm with were some of my oldest, but one of them was a girl I met on 7th grade. I didn't like her that much in school, but in the dream we enjoyed each others company.

We continue up the hill, away from the water, and enter a pine forest. My friends start to run. I notice that I have no shoes, but I still run after them. Then suddenly some bushes near me catch on fire. The fire is small enough that we could probably put it out. We look for branches that we could cover the fire with and remove oxygen from the equation, I guess. The fire dies down on it's own. Some other DCs wander around in the forest and talk about some new type of paper being problematic.

Another Monster
I'm outside, playing a game similar to capture the flag. The twist here is that the flag is an orange glowing cube partly inside the player who has it... and the enemy team has a monster as a player. He's a big, long armed loosely humanoid monster with glowing eyes and sharp claws. He has no mouth, ears or anything like that, just glowing eyes. His body is completely black, it absorbed all light.

The monster is fast. I take the cube from him and try to run, while my teammates try to buy me some time. I have the ability to boost, but it takes a second to start and I have to stop to start it. The monster is right behind me so that's not an option. The monster catches me.

Friend of a monster

I was sleeping outside, on the hillside next to a small dirt road, next to a forest. I got up slowly and saw an overweight kid biking towards me from what I assume is a small town in the middle of this forest. I walked over to him. He was scared of a monster that had been in the area. He wanted to hide in the forest. I joined him.

In the forest, there was a clearing with a house on the edge of it. There was also a massive tv screen attached to two trees not too far away. It had live feed from a camera, but we saw nobody around. Someone was filming us and we couldn't see them. Pretty quickly we figured out it must be the monster and it was invisible. We kept looking around in panic, anticipating an attack. Then I felt a connection with the monster. He was human, invisible and had the ability to move objects with his mind. He gently lifted me in the air and placed me on top of the house. He didn't want to harm me, but the other kid had done something to piss him off. I could sense that he wanted to hurt the kid. I didn't want that...and I guess the monster sensed how I felt. He stopped and instead tried to lift the kid on the roof as well. The kid was too heavy and just flailed in the air for a bit, until I woke up.

WBTB. I was up stretching, drank some water, and visualized becoming lucid in the previous dream. I was up for 40min. Fell asleep with the mantra "I'm dreaming", which has worked fine for me before.

LD 81 - Flow

I'm a disembodied observer in the same forest from the previous dream. I wander to a river. There are some sewer pipes that I focus on, because the river was flowing into the sewer and it seemed really odd. I'll skip describing it, but I studied the system closely. I got out of the underground pipe system and I was in a different part of the forest. There was a small abandoned town next to the river, on a small hill.

I manifested a body in the middle of the town. The town was literally just six small houses or something. They were built around a small marketplace with a well. Next to the well were two unusually large apples that had been peeled weirdly. I picked one of the apples from the ground and used the water from the well to clean it a bit. The water in the well was dirty. Then a short monologue happened in my mind.

"I shouldn't eat this apple."
"Why?"
"Because it was on the ground and isn't yours."
"This is my dream I can do what I want!...wait"

Finally the lights turn on in my head. I take a bite out of the apple and throw it away. I continue walking through the empty town. I sometimes question if I was actually lucid in a dream, if I didn't RC...so I do that just in case. I plug my nose and breathe through easily. The dream was a bit fuzzy. I look at my hand to stabilize. Some fingers look like baby fingers, mildly disturbing. I force them to change into normal fingers.

I have my earphones on and I hear music. Outside of the town there is a vast field with tall grass, flowers, bushes and stuff like that. Forest continues in the distance. It becomes extremely windy and the wind changes direction constantly. It's sunny. I just enjoy the view for a moment. I recall all the goals I have: burning building, evil wizard, frozen planet, dream guide etc. But I want to focus on staying in the lucid dream as long as I can. I want to go with the flow, I won't force anything.

A biking trail appears in the field as I walk forward. Then two DCs bike backwards towards me. They look like the mountain guides in the Himalayas. I stop them and ask the one with a funny hat to guide me to the frozen planet. I ask his name, but the music and wind makes me unable to hear it. He starts walking somewhere and I follow. I expect to see a building and one appears on the edge of the field.

Inside the building is a break room and more DCs. Some of them look European. There's a stack of electronic devices on one cupboard. Some annoying noise is coming from them and the DCs don't like it. I just touch one radio and the noise disappears. I ask a new DC to guide me to the frozen planet. He agrees and starts leaving the room. I ask his name, but can't recall it anymore. (Goddamn it! Is it that hard to remember one name?!) The corridor outside the break room is dark. Wait, it's the dream fading...and I'm awake.
