I got a stupidly lucky DILD today. There's also several fragments.

Scrap Group 1
Several WBTBs throughout the night. I usually got kept up a bit after meditating, before drifting off unaware.

At a school's courtyard during night time.

Riding around in a highway with others. We stop by an airport, where giant fighter jets were ready for flight. The pilots were noticeably not in wearing any uniform.

At a zoo. I was observing the gorilla den, where the apes were bathing in a pond. A big commotion occurred when a male smacked a youngling, causing a frenzied brawl between him and two other gorillas.

Dream 1 - Spring Lucid Dream Competition - Day 15

The visuals were slightly blurred. I was in an unknown apartment, where a family gathering was occurring. I go through a hallway towards the bathroom, but it seemed a few people were waiting their turn to use it, including mom and aunt Harriett. The two were gossiping about something or other, and tried getting me involved. When given the chance, I snuck off elsewhere.

I stumbled into what I first assumed was a bedroom. As I went further, this expanded into a vast underground city. Anachronism ran the gamut, what with mid 20th century buildings side-by-side with flying cars and holographic displays. I felt exhausted. There was a park by a riverside nearby, where many folk were having a picnic. So, I went over there to rest under a tree.

Then, some kid interrupted my 'nap'.

"Hey!", shouted the boy, "Look over there!" He points at two large, hairy figures flying in from the distance, one carrying the other. "What is that?!"

Once they were close enough, I easily identified what these things were. "They're just flying wookies", I grumbled. "No big deal."

I got up to show off my own powers, if only to get that kid to pipe down. Suddenly, many, many other people began ascending from the streets. Most prominent among these were a group of middle-aged English women in modest Victorian era wear, whom, between their chortling, blithely admitted their part in this phenomenon. Soon, I too was levitating unintentionally. Once the surprise wore off, I realized the dream.

The ceiling had since become an open sky. I launched myself to the stratosphere, where I intentionally teleported, first briefly warping into a different city, then into a moderately-lit bedroom constructed of dark wood. Things were deteriorating. In response, I wreathed myself in a thunderous golden aura, which stabilized my form. Thinking of TOTMs, I shouted out "overclock!" I suddenly began shrinking. But, as I looked back at my hand, I found I was actually turning into a baby. The dream ends with my new form's uncontrolled wailing.

I got lucid at least twice. One of the times was more of a substantial LD. The other times were just short moments of lucidity.

In my final dream, there was this cat who bit my finger. It was like I re lived the dream 3 times. In the second part, when I got down the stairs, the cat bit my finger. I didn't know it was a dream. I didn't expect much, but it turned out that a huge chunk of skin was ripped off. I thought it was waking life, and got scared. I was really relieved when I woke up and it hadn't really happened physically.

The dream before that was my main LD. I was making some fruit juice with some people. Then I thumb wrestled a friend from school. Then I needed to find a bathroom. I went down some stairs, and I was in a sketchy train station place with public bathrooms. I found the mens room and then had a false awakening where I was sleeping in a dirt hole. Twice, that false awakening repeated. Both times, some scary group of people ran up to the hole and jumped in, and I woke up.

The third time, it started again, with me in the hole again. This time a big group of people were coming towards my sleeping hole. I realized it was a dream, and decided to face them. They required me to speak in Spanish, so I spoke in Spanish to them. My Spanish is pretty good in dreams!

I ended up joining them on a bus. I became aware that everything was hyper realistic. My vision was really sharp. I tried "deepening" which was to just rub my hands and try to rub the seats on the bus. I'm not sure if it worked, but the dream didn't end there.

We pulled into some kind of drive through food place. It was closed but there was a drive through vending machine. I had no money. There were some coins in the coin return already though. Two said Canadian on the back. Big silver coins. I rubbed the back of one and a little silver worm appeared. It freaked me out. I felt something bite my leg really hard, and woke up.

Earlier dreams don't come to mind off the top of my head. BUT I got them all in a voice recorder, so that's good enough for me.

Just as a back ground note, a small group of us as kids had a thumb wrestling thing. We used to thumb wrestle a lot, kind of as a joke. 15 years later or so, it is hard to put a word to the feeling, but the dream recaptured it. It was really cool.

I'm at the dark haired ladies mother's place. It looks like how i'd imagine an American style backyard and house would be. With a porch and some scrubby grass (I guess it's summer time). It's getting dark and were sitting out and she comes and sits on my lap. I wanted it to stay like that forever but her mum appears, wearing and old white apron, and I feel uncomfortable.
Next we are at nearby park, in one section it is a sports area with a wire fence all around. We are trapped by a load of youths, who make me feel we are going nowhere.
I run and kick off one side of the fence, spiral through the air and crash down onto the closed gate. The lock or chains holding it are broken and it flys open. I make my escape, wake up.

Morning of March 31, 2018. Saturday.



My final dream of today’s date goes into the typical meandering sequences that involve sustained diverse random autosymbolism of which are too numerous to have any cohesion. (This is similar to when dream characters change identity more than once per second, cycling through hundreds of different identities and appearances in a short time.) However, I eventually find my dream stabilizing (though I do not become viably lucid, only subliminally lucid).

As I walk in an unknown region and I feel that I am somehow in the distant future (and yet there is no implication of time travel), I notice a few structures to my left (dream-oriented side). These structures are of a few different sizes, though resemble boxcars with one side missing. They are elevated by about three feet. The open areas face the footpath. There are people inside them. In one case, with a larger structure, it seems there at least twenty people both seated and standing in a three-tiered arrangement, which reminds me of a class photograph from the 1960s. The imagery is pale and gray and I cannot tell if they are all dressed or not or wearing pale pajamas or long johns. (Of course, this is a dream state indicator that reflects the subliminal awareness that I am not dressed as I am sleeping in bed.)

I lift my right hand and direct a light that spreads out over the ground in front of the structure. Various objects begin to appear over a wide area (at least ten feet square), mostly combinations of food items, mainly canned food in sets of two and three, and small toys, such as groups of five small felt dolls with each one being bigger than the previous. I maintain my focus until the area is mostly covered.

Some of the people leave the structure and seem grateful to me. I then direct the light to create a pile of documents farther back from the structure, one for each person, and tell them that money and food can be attained through the use of these documents. “They are real,” I tell them.

My mother eventually appears, mostly to my right (waking-orientation autosymbolism) though she is not actually my mother but a thin woman of about forty who eventually seems to have a medical problem relating to her throat and neck (possibly a subliminal association with incidental sleep apnea, which is very rare for me). However, my dream meanders and changes from this point.

From here, an unknown young male appears. He reminds me of a young version of Leonard from the King Street mansion (who I have not seen in real life since the beginning of 1994). At this point, the typical indoor outdoor ambiguity dominates the nature of the setting. The setting is now mostly implied to be on the surface of the ocean, though there is a partial floor to my right (subliminal waking-orientation side, as I sleep on my left side). I am now sitting in an armchair. I ask the male what he wants. He apparently wants a certain kind of potato chips that are no longer made.

I wave my right hand horizontally and manifest a container with potato chips in it (on the floor to my right). These are not the ones he wants, though he tastes a couple. He is looking for a discontinued brand of potato chips called “Widgets”. I mentally make another container, this time a small commercial bag, and they seem to be the right ones. They are oddly shaped, somewhat like a figure eight, with two chips connected end to end. They have a dark red powder which may be implied to be barbecue flavor. He seems grateful but now also wants a pizza. I wave my hand towards the floor to my right and then pick up a pizza to give him. I tell him that the price of everything I had given him is four dollars and he pays me with two Australian two-dollar coins. (The Australian coins are the only thread of my current conscious self identity. Otherwise, there is no memory of my real life at all.)

He turns to walk off and I notice he is walking on the water. I reason that the white fishing boots he is wearing have an advanced technology that allows him to do this. He reaches over to his right and picks up a long stringer of fish from an odd structure that resembles a bicycle parking rack and continues to walk. I notice that there is a large largemouth bass at the bottom of the stringer (where there are at least six or seven smaller fish above it) and compliment him on the fish he caught.

From here, he goes to a Wendy’s to order more food (which is off to his left). The restaurant has the look of a Wendy’s inside a shopping mall and is somehow solid upon the ocean’s surface. I notice the beautiful blue sky above and beyond. I remain seated in my armchair that is floating on the ocean until I slowly wake.

---

This is a variation of what would otherwise be the very common water lowering waking symbolism (a repeating dream component for over fifty years) in this particular stage of sleep. Although RAS mediation had rendered the awareness of waking life by way of the implied partial floor on my right, there is no defined transition typically relating to the waking start or a quicker transition from dream self to conscious self. Water is autosymbolism for the essence of sleep, physical release, and the absence of emotion. The personified preconscious walking on the water is autosymbolism for a very passive and peaceful waking transition. The large bass is the emergent consciousness factor and represents the dynamics of my mind emerging from sleep, the autosymbolism of which has occurred in thousands of previous dreams since childhood.

Dream No. 302 - Scary Talking Faces

I don't remember what happened at the start of the dream. From where I do remember, I was on the grounds of Monash University Clayton, in the sports area, following someone... More like chasing them and trying to keep up with them. It was an unknown girl, similarly aged to me, slightly younger I think, and she was trying to play a game with me of some sort. I never ended up catching up to her.

Eventually, I end up at this unknown house, appearing in the kitchen. A while after I catch a glimpse of my surroundings, I see a few old ladies scattered around the common area but I don't feel comfortable with them being around. Apparently they are my grandma's friends and so I do feel somewhat awkward when around them. Whenever I go in front of a lady, she speaks but for some reason I'm so terrified that when she finishes speaking, I let off this huge scream.

After the second lady spoke, I screamed and then yelled, “Dreamy WB!”. Then I walked around some more and came across the third lady... I did exactly the same thing. When it came to the fourth lady, she spoke, I screamed but then I realised that calling “Dreamy WB!” was doing nothing, so instead, I screamed “Miss T!”. Note that this wasn't her abbreviated name either, I actually called her Miss T in this dream.

Dreamy WB appeared in one of the armchairs in the space between the kitchen and the living room. Her appearance was a messy pigtail and like always, she was wearing all black. I don't clearly remember the outfit but it was all a single layer. As I climbed up onto her, she locked me in with her arms... This time, I was facing in towards her. I actually said to her “Dreamy WB, so I can talk to them, could we maybe flip and I could hold you?”.

She had a bewildered, confused look on her face but was agreeable in changing positions. I now had my back resting on the chair while I had my head perched on her shoulder and tucked into her neck, peering out from the side of it. At the same time, I was full-on hugging her, holding on for dear life. I felt a sense of security as I peered out from her, being finally able to talk to these strangers that looked friendly but I was freaked out by for some reason. That's all I can remember for this dream.

Got a bunch of scraps and a dream today.

Scrap Group 1
Something about two different colored devices, which would cause a major event when used in a specific manner.

Various attempted WBTB's throughout the night, most of which I drifted off until in the morning.

Dream 1 - Rigor Mortis

The visuals were a bit blurred. I was in a large room within one-story home, its walls colored pink. There was a mess of toppled furniture, along with a pile of their spilled contents. Soon, Rick and Morty showed up, hurried, for they were being pursued by a horde of zombies. The two quickly sealed the door, though it was clear that would only last for so long.

Just then, several undead corpses were blown across the room from a different entryway. Enter Punisher, depicted as a ridiculously buff guy in the style of the above-mentioned show. He vows to get us all out of the apartment alive.

A moment later, the zombies finally break in. Despite Frank's best efforts, we were almost overrun, and Morty actually got viciously mauled. Only a lucky opening between the swarm allowed us to escape to the suburbs outside.

The group and I turned the corner, when a squadron of black vans cut us off. These were clearly intelligence agents, probably here to apprehend us, or worse. Punisher opted to distract them, allowing the rest of us to go away unseen.

Things get unclear. There's something of Stan Smith from American Dad appearing, then of my taking Morty's role, where I endured his injuries. Not too sure how this ended.

Scrap Group 2
Driving around in a highway during a clear late afternoon. It got dangerous at times. Felt as if I've dreamed this before.

Something about Harry Potter, I think (don't have much of a point of reference for the series)? He goes to the wizard school when he was only five. There was some creepy romance between him and a 10 year old girl.

Playing a hacked version of Streets of Rage 2, which included a much larger cast of characters. I used Max for a while, then a super-flashy character later on.

I remembered 2 dreams last night

Dream 1: My Grandma And Me At The Mall
I went to my grandparents house with my dad and that house looked very different and was much smaller. I felt like I was on vacation. My grandfather was eating gold fish snacks in a chair and I was laying on a couch, because I was probably bored. I also remember being at a food court with my grandma and I saw Asian food at a restaurant on display. I was hoping that she would buy me food, but that is all I remember of that dream.

Dream 2: Hamster Rescue in Terraria
I was inside a world of Terraria, but it was 2D like in the game. I was on a flat track and I had to do a mission where I had to save the hamsters or little critters on their train. There train track was going left and I had to push it back and block it from going left because I thought they would die. I opened the ground as a large crack and they fell inside, so I had to close the large crack. I think there was a large mining drill on the left side of the crack for some reason, or maybe it was something else. While this dream was happening, I heard the song, The Spirit Carries On, by. Dream Theater, but I think it sounded like the Chipmunks. Afterwards, I woke up. The end.

Fragmented sleep with lots of wakes in hrs prior to final wake

The dream begins in a version of our current home, FA style. I wake up and look out the window seeing the new day begin. Some unusual transportation already on the move.

Couple of moments later, I find myself walking down the street with much higher awareness. I decide to act out this moment as if it were real life, creating a continuous stream of awareness from the dream to waking and the actual walking on the street much later. I look around, soak in as many details, also looking at DCs passing by. A woman with a red leather jacket stands out. My bf's DC is also accompanying me. We continue our walk down the street to cross when some cars speed towards us. I feel like I need to quickly jump ahead to avoid the impact. The motion seems to destabilize the dream or it could just be the fragmented sleep and the dream soon fades.

After waking up, I initially forget my dream idea to hold that awareness on my way to work, but recall it later on. As I go out, it's a beautiful cold sunny morning and I take in all the little details around me. With this state of mindfulness, it feels the same way it did when I had the lucid dream walking down the street.

Fell asleep at: 12:00 AM

Woke up at: 11:00 AM


Dream 56: Ranch House Diner

Yep, this was definitely an example of 'day residue'.

All right, so, yesterday I went to go eat with my family at a place called Ranch House Burgers. I had never went there before, so I went in with neutral expectations. It was honestly the best burger joint I had ever been to. It was so good in fact tha I ended up dreaming about it that night.

My mom, brother, and I are at this diner/burger joint. I remember the color of the sky illuminating the room, giving off a very bleak blue color.

The three of us are in a long line, just slowly inching along as people get their orders. It seems to me like this place is more structured like a buffet than a diner, with people having to assemble their burgers as they go along, and then paying after they have assembled their burger.

The girl in front of me is really short. Turns out she is also a student, but it seems she's having trouble reaching for a patty that (For some reason) customers can only get by sticking their hands inside of an oven. I don't exactly intervene, and she gets the patty unscathed.

Later on in the dream, after I finished my food, I start joking around with my brother about how to look "tough". I don't remember what lead up to it, it just sorta happened.


Dream 57: Bar Problems

This was a weird one.

The dream starts out with a conversation between two video game characters in a bar. One is complaining that his ear was modeled wrong, and that it was larger than the other. The other also complained about something, but I can't quite remember.

One of the guys at the bar looks back at them and tells them to quiet down. The two were making a lot of noise and he looked pretty peeved.

-1-I played a preview of a thing I hadn't yet done in BoTW at night that involved snow, and pillars of rock.
-2-At a beach, some people were thrown 10ft into the air by a sudden, powerful dust devil. This happened 2 or 3 times in the same, sunny location. The vortex turned horizontal once, allowing me to catch a glimpse of the center of circulation. That was cool.
[New Scene]
I messed around with a TV to play some Wind Waker.
-3-At my old house, I played Melee with somebody from church.
-4-It was September 22, and I still didn't register for classes. Oops. The layout of the present building interior was completely different.
[New Scene]
Later, I was playing a hide-and-seek game in the same building. I hid behind a door, but someone found me within 30 seconds from following my trail of boolean logic.

I meet dark haired woman outside and we make eye contact again. We exchange phone numbers and I am elated again xD. We lay down together and i am enveloped with that lovely warm feeling again ^^

-1-I was walking to a friend's house while it was raining. Also, I was suddenly going 100mph in a 35 zone. I slowed down, but I couldn't read the speedometer. A cop was present, but he left. Later, I found that the minivan I was driving was suddenly on its side on a walkway, with me standing on top of it. The walkway had almost no friction. People even slid under the car, ending up okay. Everyone got out and cleared the area when I told them to. After that, I slid the van effortlessly to the road.
-2-I was at some boot camp for some reason. We had to race around a dirt course with yellow posts in the ground. This was inside a room of a seemingly one-story building that was poorly maintained. Nothing made any sense.
-3-A bald guy was supposed to drive 3 people to "school", including me in a light-blue 90s car. He stopped in the middle of the driveway near the road, while I signaled for him to wait for me. I wanted to grab a water bottle, so I ran back to my house. The weather was sunny/clear with little wind. The deciduous trees were full of leaves (they shouldn't be; it's only March).
-4-I was stuck inside Aperture above ground, only a wall or two away from the outside. All exits seemed to be inaccessible. For some reason, I found another person (some random dude). I proposed the idea of building a map of the area. Luckily, I found a cluttered room with everything I need inside.

Friday March 23rd 2018

I was walking around the street, became lucid while walking and it seemed like the kid was about to buy something when he realized that I was there and told me the boss was looking for me.

He started by saying something about a curse that we had to cure in an important building, I was bored by the history and wasn't that happy at all, so just told him I would be going soon and woke up.

Back to sleep.

Sitting in front of a desk, someone passes me over something that is heavy and become lucid because of that... ok? The boss says she already realized that I get stronger when something heavy comes my way so that is why she passed it over. oh well damn how clever of her!

So she is saying that we have this new job about protecting a super ancient structure of a weird religious cult and make sure that nothing bad happens to it.

I am forced into the building and nothing is done for a long time. All I do is phase through the walls and people in order to scare them thinking I am some kind of evil spirit and that's about it.

Back to sleep.

Waiting for something to happen, become lucid while waiting and... oh, damn. Get bored right away and someone walks from the outside and throws something at us. I stop it with TK and place it down to which they answer that this place is really cursed.

I hear some music from outside so try to phase and suddenly the angel statues start moving and attacking me! I grab them and kick them some, but for some reason my powers are blocked? Destroy one of the statues then fly outside and find that they are doing some kind of ritual with a doll.

Go over to them, grab the doll, break it and scream at them for making me angry then phase back to the building and apparently I can use all my powers again yay!... no wait, destroyed one of the statues myself. So get it all together again using TK and then paste it with earht bending powers and pretend nothing ever happened before waking up and letting all the blame fall on the elven kid yes.

Thursday March 22nd

I was home with the elven kid, became lucid while he was trying to cook. Spend most of the time in the dreams with the kid trying to cook something decent but he really does suck at it.

Eventually took over AGAIN and taught him how to cook at least some rice and eggs, then gave him the food to taste and ate with him, we were taking turns on using the body. I think he appriciated that, asked if there was anything the boss told him to do but it seemed that no, there was no job for us today.

I become lucid in the second story of a house. I decide to do my three step tasks, phasing through a solid object, teleporting, and flying. Except I forget the order and think its phasing through a solid object and then flying. I phase right through the wall to the outside and begin flying. It is dark outside, but I can see small houses below. They gradually begin getting harder and harder to see, until I wake up.

While awake I remember that I had mis-remembered my ordering and had to now teleport and then fly again. I fall asleep again.

I become lucid again and do an RC. I remember I need to teleport, so I spin and then fall backwards (this is how I usually teleport). However, it doesn't work, and I stay exactly where I am. I try again with the same results. (The lucid was clearly pretty low-awareness because I usually have no problem teleporting.) There are several DCs around, so I think maybe they're distracting me, so I leave the house by walking through a wall and use super speed to get to a small abandoned building I could see nearby. There, I try again to no avail. I try a different approach, closing my eyes and trying to summon a different surrounding. I open my eyes and find I am in the exact same place, except there are flowers everywhere now. For some reason the flowers bother me, so I will them to disappear, which they do after I look back again. I spot some chalk and think I can make a portal-door with it. I go inside the abandoned building and draw a circle of chalk around my feet. Then I jump and will myself to fall through the hole and into another location. I begin falling through and then land somewhere, and think I've done it, but then I look around and see I am in the same building. I look up and see the hole that I fell through and above that is the same room I am in now. I have effectively created an infinite loop of the room. I leave the building, my lucidity gradually slipping away, but still semi-lucid. I see a car driving down the driveway and think that perhaps if I asked the advice of a DC and then followed it, I could trick my brain into thinking that I could do it. I approach the DC and ask them what I should do. They begin to say a bunch of nonsense, but as my lucidity is already low, I continue to listen. I lose lucidity and soon wake up.

I also had 1 full non-lucid.
