I wake up in the middle of the night from a dream and realize this is a good opportunity to induce a lucid dream. I check my phone quickly for the current ToTMs and find a couple that interest me. I decide to first do the task: "How many times can you fold a piece of paper before it doesn't work anymore... Or can you fold it endlessly?"

I fall asleep and find myself in one of the rooms of my house. I am lucid and recall the task. Luckily, there is a piece of paper nearby which I pick up and hold in half. The paper is stiff and it is a little difficult. I fold it in half again two more times, counting as I do, and the paper continues to fold as normal, but once I do it after that, the paper is no longer stiff and is easy to bend. I look closer and realize it is no longer decreasing in size when I fold it in half, so I can continue to fold with no effect. I lose count of how many times I have folded, but I have my answer: I can fold it endlessly. Now the dream either ends or I lose lucidity because I can't remember anything after this.

No video today

I didn't do a dream journal drawing video today. I wanted to just draw it "off camera". But I did do the dream drawing stuff like in my other videos and it was helpful.

Round 1 of dreams.

I slept a few hours and woke up with some sense of having had really interesting dreams. But couldn't remember anything really clearly. I made a few voice notes but nothing was solid. There was like a big bug in the back of a car at one point but I just couldn't see it any clearer. I had a sense they were really conceptual dreams.

Round 2 of dreams.

These were a little better remembered. I couldn't get food with my friend at this hospital or school place. Then I was looking for a bath room. There were guards so I went in an un marked bathroom. Then I was in a locker room. They were re doing the old locker rooms because they got moldy or something. Then I was in the locker room and I had wet socks. I was putting another pair of socks on over my wet socks but that didn't make total sense to me.

Round 3 of Dreams.

These were cool. There was a bunch I forgot. From what I remember, I tried donating 5 dollars. I went through a wad of cash to try to get change for myself but the person told me no change. So I just donated the 5 dollars. I did see some singles in there though, and a ten. There was more I forgot.

Then I dreamed I woke up in my bed and it was very bright in the room. I figured morning had gotten there. My body was different though.

I know for sure I had a lucid part before or after that, but I totally forgot it. For some reason my recall was really weak on this night. My acceptance that fact was higher than usual though.

Next I found myself in this loft. There was something about climbing down a wooden ladder. But the screws were loose and it looked like it would fall. I noticed a design on the wood. During this part of the dream, there was something about how I was glad that what had happened right before that was just a dream. So it was a false awakening. Really, I was still in a dream, but I didn't know it.

Then the next scene was of me in this cafeteria place. One thinner old lady was wearing blue. she threw something on a table. Another heavy lady was wearing a really low cut blue dress. She was near our table handing out stuff. We all got apples. The dream told me to focus on the apple and try to really study the patterns on its skin. I thought this was so cool because I have been trying to work on my visual memory in waking life using "drawing from memory" exercises. Only, I thought I was in waking life, and I looked forward to sitting to draw it later that day when I got home. I worried I might not have time. I remember seeing it very vividly and clearly within the dream. Then i woke up.

Round 4 of dreams.

I had more dreams but all I remembered was a box of books. And something with my sister.

Notes.

Much lower recall than usual tonight. But I had a lot more peace with the fact of my lower recall than I usually do when I have trouble recalling dreams. I don't really know what factors to attribute it to so I won't make any major changes. I can tell I am sleeping deeper though which is a good thing.

So I was watching Thor - The dark worlds last night. I thought I could try and fly with Mjolnir in the next lucid, if I have trouble flying. I also sen an intent to visit Asgard.

I got lucid last night. First I saw this land covered with very shallow water. Like a huge lake. It looked very monotonous, but I said out loud "how beautiful' and the skies on one side started to turn a bit pink and orange, rest of the land was in silvers and grays. A bit scary looking, but me saying "how beautiful" I tried to make it something else.

Then I remembered how I wanted to fly with help of Mjolnir. I looked around but didn't see it. So I picked up a large rock and moved it fast in front of me, hoping it's momentum will make me follow it into the air. But I couldn't lift off at all.

I'm no longer lucid here. Looking out from my mom's kitchen balcony window. There is a tree, looks like an eucalyptus. As I look more and more up, I say wow, this tree is so huge, and the tree is getting taller and taller. It reaches up to the clouds. I call my mom to look at it but she can't be bothered. I think that if the tree break, it will fall right on our house. At that moment a huge limb, which like rest of the tree has a very smooth, light gray bark, starts falling down. I call my mom to look. It's still falling, now I see it from the opposite window, in the living room. I yell "its still falling, come and look".

I've two LDs and a few other things to note.

Scrap Group 1
Playing the Demon roguelike. I kept stumbling into an annoying pack of quick dark element enemies in the late game. One of said group had pre-fused demons with physical resistances. I take advantage of their link to keep from getting overwhelmed.

At a beach during a grey day. I got into a kickboxing fight with a bully (though I can't deny having part in escalating things into such). Previously, I talked a good game. But once the battle started, I soon realized I was way in over my head. Not only did my opponent outreach me, he also had a lot more stamina. The others around there agreed I'd no hope of winning. Brief interlude, then round 2. In desperation, I started with a jumping knee, and tagged the guy right in the chin, stunning him. The bully lost his nerve, and made a predictable charge. I responded with another jumping knee, flustering him further. Transition somehow to below.

Dream 1 - Video Game City Ruins

The visuals were mostly clear. I was passing through a seaside walkway during a violet sunset. In the distance was a vast metropolis. But, unlike the rest of the environment, it was depicted in colorful 16-bit graphics. This reminded me of Streets of Rage. I was enthralled at the glittering sight, and by nostalgia... until I noticed that half the city was in ruins, on fire, and billowing with green, toxic vapors. This jumpstarted lucidity. Hand rub. I elected to just look around, and noticed my brother, Darnell, nearby, to whom I spoke about the somewhat familiar view. When I glanced back, the city had vanished. Things destabilized, and the dream ended.

Scrap Group 2
In the bathroom. Something was wrong with my head.

Dream 2 - To Find a Bad Guy

Dreamlets transitioned to a dream. The visuals started blurred. I was in a non-descript room with a wide screen TV, glancing at that Bible novella mom keeps watching. Got lucid a minute in. On an impulse, I tried entering the screen to fight the bad guys, but couldn't. Still, I tried attacking regardless. This seemed to have effects on the other side, if delayed, and with some occasional freezing.

Warp to the void. I continued shadowboxing, and also spun in place, until a scene formed. I found myself riding around town during daytime. My family (or whom I presumed as such) were with me. Anyway, I had the driver seek out those aforementioned villains. Before long, we stumbled into a withering crop field, and then, an arid desert. A setting not unlike that show above.

Things hazed up into a brown void. Once the visuals clarified, I was surprised to find myself within the razor-teethed maw of a gigantic creature. The instant it opened its mouth, I rocketed out, and ended up in deep space. I glanced back to see that the beast was a granite-brown, worm-like alien. It chased me momentarily, though it had no chance of catching up.

As I got further, I noticed an even larger and far more dangerous being behind the worm: a colossal, cackling Kid Buu from Dragon Ball Z. I dived down, and suddenly landed on Earth in the middle of a city. Buu, however, was fast approaching. In haste, I powered up, and shot a huge ki-blast at the demon. Despite my skepticism, this somehow vaporized him in one shot. Still, I considered his regenerating. So, I whirled my hands, from which I formed a great tornado to vaccuum his remains. I then tried finding a container to keep him sealed. But, the dream warped, and I stirred awake.
