Non-dream stuff - Still catching up a bit on dream recall, woke up at about 7 and then again at 9, recalling a tiny fragment of a non-lucid. Fragment: I don't remember the location, and I can't visualise it very well, but there was a little girl; she wanted something, either from me or someone else. I needed a suit's pants for some reason, to be able to get into some place; for some reason I had decided in the dream that the pants and any top would be fine, even though to get into this place most people had a full suit. I vaguely remember a dock or a quay, maybe a large ship, but I don't remember water or open space. Can't remember enough visual details to put a coherent scene together and afraid that random memories are mixing together with any potential visuals. Notes; not directly related to the dream this time: I spent a few days away and couldn't exercise my dream recall during those days because of my morning schedules.My left leg's pain is being quite distracting, but not helped by the fact that before I came to write this DJ entry I had already been moving around the house a fair bit (getting more exposed to daylight and forgetting details).When I woke up I was thinking about the October competition, and have been for the last couple of days. I have a printed bit of paper with my personal goals on my bedside table now. Scoring thus far: + Previous score: 0 + Recall a non-lucid fragment: 0.5 = Total score thus far: 0.5

Date of Dream: SUN 7 OCT - 2018 Dream No. 445 - Separated Sections Dream 445 A - Falling To A Game Over I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, I was inside this bizarre complex that I can’t quite describe. It was a mix of inside a house, a shopping centre, it looked like a bit of everything. My other grandma was there and also she didn’t really speak in the dream, I could somehow tell that she was the one behind me being trapped in this complex. At one point, I tried to find a way out through the windows but they were bolted with a fly-screen on the outside and at one point, my grandma walked past and so I had to get away from there. A bit later in the scene, when my grandma was gone, Young Cricket happened to appear, once again not speaking, and directed me to one of the windows. I went over to that window myself and tried to be as quiet as I could to work my way out of there so my grandma wouldn’t catch me. I thought it would just be one or two panels to open but I counted them and there was actually fifteen of them! It felt like ages but soon, air was flowing into the complex and I did not hesitate to get the heck out of there. I was now in this completely unknown area but somehow, it felt like the inside of some game. I wasn’t myself either and rather, I was playing the perspective of Violet Parr who was wearing her casual clothes but also her mask and had this really bright purple aura around her. There were other characters in this game simulation, which I can tell were controlled by other members of the American Gamerland Podcast community. Some of the other characters included Mario, Yoshi and Sonic. As Violet, I moon-jumped to some very high places. I was curious to see how high I could go and so that’s just what I did. She ended up on top of this very tall tower which the dream was making me think was the top of the Empire State Building in New York. The dream camera showed this lower area below where Violent was expected to land when she jumped off the tower. She jumped off with no problem but for some reason, Violet wasn’t landing anywhere close. She was actually nowhere near the required area and rather landed on the concrete, in-fact missing the grass by just an inch. The dream camera shook as she hit the ground on impact and then I could here one member of the Gamerland Podcast community saying, “Oh oops, it look’s like Karla’s gone. I wonder what character she’ll come back as”. I didn’t end up returning though and rather the dream ended. Dream 445 B - He's In The Sitting Room (Lucid Dream 28) I don’t remember what happened at the start of the dream. From where I do remember, I was in the backyard and I was talking to a few people. Ever since the start of the dream, I had active intentions to seek 18-Volt but I only really got that conscious awareness when I got into the garage. Someone was following me but I forgot who it was. Then after that, the person disappeared and I seemed to be by myself. I was now looking at the position of the cars in the garage and I believed this to be the start of my strong lucidity. First of all, it was just my mum’s car in on the left side and the right side was empty. Without the roller door opening, my grandma’s car drove itself into its usual right side position in the garage. Because I was lucid, I noticed that the car did not park very well and it was so close to my mum’s that it could scrape the side doors. I verbally instructed for my grandma’s car to fix itself in which it started reversing. It reversed in a way that it would get closer to the other car though, so I had to instruct it to stop again. I then told the car to turn the opposite way as it reversed. Due to full consciousness, I felt somewhat frustrated at times when the car would get so close to my mum’s again. Eventually though, the car did end up fixing itself so it was correctly centred into its position in the garage. Then it time for me to head into the house and that’s when I saw my brother downstairs. I asked him if he knew where 18-Volt was and he said he didn’t. I then decided to stick my head around the corner and look in my brother’s bedroom. I was expecting to see 18-Volt maybe sitting on the couch but he wasn’t. I then went upstairs and asked my mum if she knew where 18-Volt was. She told me “he’s in the sitting room”. I slowly and carefully wondered into the sitting room and indeed I could perceive a hint of 18-Volt’s energy. Once again, I bent my head the other way and noticed that something was happening on the far armchair next to the window. The throw that was draped over it began to rustle… But just as 18-Volt was about to appear, the dream forced a fade-out on me Transition (445 B -> 445 C) I actually knew what the dream was doing! It was trying so hard to wake me but I literally bolted my eyes shut. I was in the void for a long time and at some points, I felt like I was definitely going to wake but I still kept holding on. After what felt like even a few long minutes, the dream entered into exactly the same setting and I was able to link the concept of the previous dream into this one. Dream 445 C - I've Grown To Trust Him (Lucid Dream 28+) This time, I started out in the dining room where I had originally asked my mum the question, “where’s 18-Volt?” but this time, I was in the area by myself. I was going to go back into the sitting room to attempt to speak to 18-Volt again but I stopped myself, with my mind telling me, “It’s not worth it. If you do that, you’re just going to wake up again”. So instead, I made the decision to head over to the kitchen and confront my mum. Indeed, my mum was standing in the kitchen, looking as if though she had just been washing the dishes. I came to her with a look of disbelief on my face, like I felt she was the one behind the forced fade-out. But then because I was lucid, this scenario felt pretty normal, like I was dealing with her as if we were having a real life argument. I eventually gathered up the strength to speak to her. I said, “Mum, please, like, can you please let me do this?”. Also just like in real life, she looked at me suspiciously as if I plotting something… As if. I told her, “I’m trying to make an effort here so that I can face up to my fears”. She asked me “why?” and that’s when I thought “you must be dumb or something”, I found it so hard to get through to her and her challenging ways. I said out loud to her, “Because of the work experience thing”. I was now absolutely annoyed with my mum and her overprotective ways. I think I finally knew what she was thinking; was she thinking that maybe 18-Volt was a sleaze and that I just wanted to get out with some boy? To sum it up, she didn’t trust 18-Volt. I managed to stay calm and I told her, trying to reassure her “Mum, I’m doing this for a reason. He’s been really good to me, he’s helped me throughout some very difficult times and I’ve grown to trust him”. As I was saying this, I perceived an energy from 18-Volt again, I managed to visualise him smiling at me in a warm, humbled manner, like he could actually hear what I was saying and he was in awe of it. My mum was trying to act like she was okay with it but deep down, I could tell that she still wasn’t convinced; she looked as sour as ever. For a moment, it looked like she was going to let me continue on with the dream and I was hoping this would be the case. But when I leased expected it, the dream faded out on me and I was back into the void. Ending I still wasn’t going to give up and glued my eyes shut for dear life. I was still in the void when this happened but there started to become projections of funny cat videos on Facebook to try and distract me out of my focus. Additionally, the tingly sensation increased as if I was being forcefully lifted out of the dream. Eventually, I thought to myself, “It’s okay, you’ve done well, you haven’t lost. You tackled a problem” and so I decided to wake up.

Dream One This dream seems to take place in a futuristic sci-fi setting. I am also a woman in this dream. I am in some kind of space ship or drop ship. The crew is equipping me with a high tech body suit/armor and weapons. I look over the suit and ask how it works. I only remember one of the men saying, "No buttons. All biometrics." The man then puts a high tech space helmet over my head and it locks itself to the rest of my suit. The helmet display turns on and briefly displays numbers and diagrams that I don't understand. A man signals and says that preparations are complete. A wall next to me opens downward into a ramp and reveals the outside world. "We'll bring you above the forest for an easy entrance," said another man. The ship quickly moves across the sky and comes downward until it abruptly stops just above a forest. It hovers there for a moment and a man pushes me forward. I stumble forward and awkwardly jump/fall out of the ship. The arms and legs of my suit glow red and tighten as I brace myself for impact with the ground. There is a small clearing in the forest that my display points out to me. I hit the dirt on all fours. It only hurt slightly. I got onto my feet and tried to orient myself. I wanted to know where I had to go. My attention immediately shifted to something moving on a nearby cliff. It is humanoid in shape and all black like a shadow. The shadow moves quickly across the cliff and then fires a green plasma bolt at me. The bolt misses and hits the ground next to me. I start to run away but the shadow jumps across the trees and then onto me. I don't recall the full encounter. We fight physically and exchange blows briefly. I pull a pistol from the hip and hit the shadow in the chest with a purple plasma bolt. The creature is knocked back and falls to the ground. It no longer moves, but it continues to breathe. I notice the armor it is wearing is similar to mine. I step closer to it and it looks at me and growls. I decide to run away again before it can get back up. "What the hell was that?" I ask myself. A voice then comes through the radio in my helmet. He says, "That shadow was stalking you. Can't believe it found you so fast." I do not recall the full conversation. I keep running and he tells me to move towards the city. The dream skips and I am now in a city. It looks like a war had taken place here. There's rubble everywhere and many buildings are damaged, on fire, or even fully destroyed. There are many barricades in the streets and destroyed vehicles. There are no humans in sight; only aliens with weapons on patrol. These aliens don't look like the shadow stalker. They are not wearing a full suit of armor, just basic stuff. They are generally humanoid and have reddish-orange skin tone. They are tall with longish limbs and neck. Spherical heads that are not smooth but full of ridges and bumps. They have what looks like tentacle hair and more than 2 eyes. Not the whole picture but can't think of any better ways to describe them. I am hiding in a bush and want to get into a 10 story building across the street. I start sneaking across the street and use the barriers for cover. My suit partially blends in with the environment as I move. I get into the building through a side entrance in an alley. There are some aliens nearby and I hide inside a chest until they move on. I go up the stairs to what I think is the 4th floor. It looks like it used to be an office building before it was trashed and destroyed. My visor highlights an objective on the other side of the building. I run towards it through some collapsed walls and over holes in the floor. It appears to be an executive room with a large white trapezoid desk in the center. On the left side of the room there is another collapsed wall that opens the room to the alley. Across the alley is another building with a collapsed wall. There are two aliens armed with rifles there. The aliens weren't looking in my direction or paying attention. I sneak over behind the desk and see a computer system under it. I turn on the computer and its displays onto my helmet's visor. I hack into a server and start downloading the data. "I'm in and retrieving the data now," I whisper into the radio. I then start to wonder to myself why I have a woman's voice. I realize it is because I am dreaming. Being lucid, I start to think I about leaving and doing something else. I don't want to sit around a wait for a download. My helmet then alerts me of a fast moving target nearby. I see the shadow stalker from before running up the street and it comes into the alley. "How the hell did he find me again?" I say out loud. I take a marksman rife off my back and look down the sights. The shadow starts climbing the other building and I take shots at it. This marksman rifle fires small and precise orange plasma bolts. I miss a couple shots but manage to land one his shoulder. He jumps from the other building towards mine and I slow down time. He is still in the air and he is firing at me with a pistol. I shoot him in the chest and dodge his plasma bolts. Time goes back to normal and he falls to the floor in front of me. The other aliens now have their attention set on me. They shoot at me and I take cover behind the desk. It is surprisingly sturdy and protects me from their bolts. I pop out of cover and shoot both aliens in the head. The stalker then gets up and pulls the rifle out of my hands. I wrestle with it and knock it out with a super charged punch. Bolts then come at me from the area I initially entered the floor from. I see a swarm of aliens moving across the office floor. I pick up an assault rifle the stalker had strapped to his back and spray at them. I kill a couple but the rest take cover and fire back. I duck down behind a small wall and filing cabinet. I continue the firefight as several more aliens arrive. The helmet display tells me how much ammo I have left. The assault rifle runs out of ammo and I am forced to switch to my two pistols. Sparks are flying all around me and holes are being put in what walls remain. Even the desk was getting torn up. The alien reinforcements continue to arrive and they move up towards my position. I am running very low on ammunition. "I can't stay here anymore! I need to leave!" I start shouting. In this moment my helmet tells me that the download is complete. I dive behind the desk and pull a floppy disk out of the computer. "I got the disk!" I say into the radio. The man over the radio responds back, "Your position is overrun! Move to the next building and get out!" I slow down time again and jump over the desk. I empty one of my pistol clips into the aliens moving towards the room. I then turn and run towards the collapsed wall. I use my second pistol to shoot at a couple aliens in the other building as I jump across the gap. Time returns to normal as I land into the next building. I finish off these two aliens and run towards the stairwell. I go down the stairs and end up in what looks like a storage room. There are more stairs beyond this room that seem to lead down into a sewer or tunnel network. There is another alien on guard in this room. It reminds me of the shadow stalker but it is not fully suited, just lightly armored. I stay behind a wall and kick it to make some noise. The alien moves to investigate the noise. As it comes around the corner, I pull out a combat knife and charge at the guard. I grab hold of his shoulder and thrust the knife into his neck. This doesn't kill him but causes him to only make low gurgling noises. He grabs me and sinks his claws into my armor. He pulls me close and attempts to bite me with razor sharp teeth. We struggle for a moment and fall to the floor. I manage to pull the knife from his throat and stab him in the chest. This kills him and I take the knife and run into the sewer. The dream skips and I am climbing out of the sewer in another part of the city. I see a fight taking place in a shop nearby. I run to it and see a man and a woman kill a few aliens. The fight is over by the time I get into the shop. The man and woman are friendly and they help me restock on ammo. They also hand me a new gun that looks like a taser, but I never get a chance to use it. I ask them for help getting out of the city and they come with me. We make our way down the street and the shadow stalker appears on an overpass above us. We get ready to fight, but the dream ends here.
