    1. Night of Monday 11/20/23

      The DILD Fanclub:

      I'm in a study-room, resembling one from my college years.
      There is a girl with us who has pink hair. She looks like Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim.
      Within the story of the dream I fall for this girl hard.
      ...
      I'm in a place similar to a Vison-Works glasses store.
      There is some sort of zombie-game that the class is to play as a group.
      The game is a 2D-sidescroller, where the group teams up to fight the zombies.
      Glasses are required to play the game, but since I don't have them, I'm concerned that I'll cause an issue.
      I go to the front desk and try to get a prescription.
      ...
      I return to the Vison-Works later to see if my prescription is ready, but it is dark. Probably closed.
      ...
      I'm with my friend D at something like a dungeons & dragons night at his childhood home's basement.
      Danny from Game Grumps is sitting nearby, and I ask him if he was born in 1989. He replies with something about 90's kids.
      I notice D has some software open on his PC. It's an old-style big grey monitor from the 2000s or earlier.
      The software is showing a home-page for a fan club. There are dollar values for money to donate to him, listed into themed tiers.
      One of the tiers is 'pancankes' and shows a stack with some butter on it.
      It's labeled the 'DILD' fan club, which my brain does not connect as dream initiated lucid dream.
      ...
      Later we are outside and it is so rainy that we can barely see a few feet in front of us.
      Despite not being able to see, I get the impression that we are in a futuristic city area with tall skyscrapers.
      D is supposed to fly me somewhere. He can fly freely, and I need to hold onto him to fly.
      I tell him that the raindrops will feel like bullets if we try to fly fast.

    2. Night of Sunday 6/11/23 (Comp Night 11)

      Day-time (Nap)

      Lucid in the Manor
      I'm outside a manor looking place. It’s rainy. I go around the side and find the front door. I open it and it has a Mario Sunshine style doorway to jump into a level. I jump in.
      I'm in my living room, but it is wider and has a tall ceiling.
      Much bigger than normal. I put my hand out in front of me and starting counting fingers out of habit. Six fingers per hand.

      That’s not right…I’m dreaming!
      I do a nose RC several times to verify.
      I keep my hands out in front of me to look at as a sort of lucid anchor.
      I walk down the hall, but my dream starts to fade before I can save it.


      Night-time Sleep

      The Secret 10th Dungeon
      I'm playing Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I'm walking on the surface and I get the "new location" HUD text for a new dungeon.
      It tells me that it is the Secret 10th Dungeon.
      I can see that there is air rising out of nowhere so I jump and activate the paraglider.
      It takes me all the way into the Sky with floating structures all around.
      I land on a larger structure and the HUD confirms again that this is the secret dungeon.
      I'm very excited about this and start to explore.


      The Dragon Roost Cup
      I see Toon Link (Windwaker Legend of Zelda Style) fly by on some vehicle.
      I understand that this is for a Zelda-themed Mario Kart game.
      Characters are all riding Sky vehicles.
      On the HUD, there is a Dragon Roost Cup title, and others, similar to how Mushroom/Flower/Star cups work in Mario Kart.

      Not going to say this counts for Dragon Theme, since it was just a title and reference. Not an actual dragon.
      I wouldn't be mad if I'm wrong on this though...

      Airship Dining
      I'm out for dinner with family. We're walking down the street together looking for a restaurant.
      It's a rainy night and my Dad is there with my brother and I.
      We are talking about diet, but still decide on pizza.
      We come across one, where there is an airship tied down. The restaurant logo is 1800s-ish looking gentleman with tophat.
      The quirk of the restaurant is that the airship lands at scheduled times and becomes available for seating, alongside standard ground-seating.
      There is a rope mechanic where patrons help secure the airship.
