Got a WILD, DILD, non-LD, and a fragment to note. Said non-LD was bordering lucidity, though I was only missing an ounce of awareness to mark it off as such.

Scrap Group 1
Walking around a park lake during a calm night.

WBTB which lead to some frustrating insomnia. Still retained enough patience for a WILD.

Dream 1 - Spring Lucid Dream Competition - Day 12 - Part 1

WILD transition in bed with blurred visuals. I felt quite dizzy. Found myself in a grey void, where I sensed something was going to chase me.

Got warped back to bed. I stumbled out the door to the lounge. The dream was deteriorating, so I spun and thoroughly rubbed my hands. I tried walking out the glass door to the back yard, but couldn't. I then spun to teleport, and indeed warped... all of eight feet to the stairs. The blurriness was getting disorienting. I uttered for clarity and brightness, to no obvious effect. Next, I walked towards the front door, which somehow got further and further away. So, I flew as fast as I could, only reaching hustling speed, but still enough to catch up. Once there, I phased through the door, first sideways, then turning forward once halfway through.

Warped again. I was outside in the balcony of an unknown building. My sight distorts to a third-person perspective, where I see myself in several side and top angled shots. Some focus realigned my vision. I tried purposefully discorporating my sight again, but this destabilized the dream, and I woke up soon afterwards.

Dream 2 - Spring Lucid Dream Competition - Day 12 - Part 2

Scene 1 - Rewind That Crash
The visuals were blurred. I falsely awakened in the trunk of a van. My cousin's husband, Felix, was driving, and my brother Doug was there as well. We were inside a parking garage, looking for a space. Eventually, we did find a place to parallel park, though it would've required some extraordinary spatial senses to fit our vehicle there. In lieu of finesse, Felix opted to brute-force the van there, heedlessly crashing the surrounding vehicles, though I jumped out before any collision occurred. Felix seemed to think this had no lasting consequences, but it was obviously not the case.

I kinda figured this wasn't real, but only in-so-much as if this was a very deep daydream. So, I practiced time control, first slowing it, then travelling backwards, just far enough before the crash. Things warped.

Scene 2 - Vs. Recoome
The visuals were blurred. I was in an episode of Dragon Ball Z. Still 'semi-lucid'. I was in Namek, fighting against the barbaric Recoom. In the blink of an eye, I was kneed in the gut, then slammed face-first through the dirt. The brute then placed me in a surfboard hold. I shook out, and responded with a backflip kick, knocking my opponent into the sky. I then fired an arcing ki-blast up at him. Before Recoome could dodge, I flew up behind him, and kicked him downward. As he fell, the projectile divided into four or five, and each shot struck true. I soon found Recoome below in a smoking crevice, barely conscious and missing both his arms.

Not too clear how this ended.

More sleeplessness before a transition.

Dream 3 - Spring Lucid Dream Competition - Day 12 - Part 3

The visuals started very blurred. I falsely awakened in bed, disoriented. Soon, I hear Burst Man's theme sounding. This prompts thoughts on prospective memory checks, yada yada yada. Cue lucididty.

I flew up as part of a reality check, then phased through ceiling. Got warped to a white void. So, I spun in place to teleport. I end up in my home's lounge, hovering in mid-air. I thought of shrinking myself, but it wouldn't of been much fun without anyone else around. So, I called my guide, E, uttering her name various times, but got too anxious when there weren't any immediate results. As I looked around, I spotted various dark-haired women mulling about. One was attending a baby, while two or three others were watching TV in the living room. It was too blurry to identify either of them as my guide, not that I sensed her presence to begin with.

Best preoccupy myself. I turned towards the door, then charged a yellow aura around me. With this increased vigor, I tried blasting off through door, but could only fly at about running speed. Still, I phased through without a problem. I ended up outside in an unknown urban environment. Forgot what else occurred. It took about a minute or so before the dream ended.

Last night, I once again found myself lucid, once again without being entirely sure how it happened. It felt like the dream was close to an hour long, although it was technically two dreams since there was a brief awakening and reentry in the middle. Because it was so long and I spent the whole thing just exploring the house I found myself in and messing around, it wouldn’t make for very interesting reading, and so I’ll just include a few highlights of it.

-Finding a series of books entitled “More Than 21 Cats” on a bookshelf.

-Devoting more attention than usual to maintaining awareness and focus. My lucid dreams almost always end with no warning whatsoever, and while I used to consider this something I couldn’t do much about, I’ve been wondering lately whether preventative stabilization might help. This intention seems to have carried over, and as the dream was longer than any I’ve had for a while, I’d call it a success.

-Receiving a few gifts for no apparent reason from people who were around. I spent a good chunk of the dream opening them, resisting the urge to go off and do other things since it seemed like that would have been ungrateful, even if it was a dream.

-Moving a wardrobe with my mind. I extended my hand, interfacing with it on a mental level—if that makes sense—and then pulled. And then I pushed it back.

-Having the dream briefly interrupted by a message displayed over the scene as if it were a screen. It was a rather ominous message, but it seemed to have no immediate effect other than turning everything in the house green and shifting some of the furniture into new styles and/or positions. This may have been a direct result of moving the wardrobe as it happened shortly afterwards, and the last time I tried to control things in a lucid dream was also closely followed by something weird and threatening happening.

-Two more visits to my M--- basement, the first before the green shift, the second afterwards to see if anything had changed. It had: the second version had a closed door where the tunnel often is in dream versions of it, as well a sort of workshop behind the same wall, visible through a couple small windows.

-Lots of cats around, but probably less than 21.

The dream scene was a ski resort that was fairly empty. The dream didn't really take place up in the mountains but more on the bottom part with the ski lodge and other buildings. There were a few buildings with activity going on. It seemed like there was sort sort of party going on in one of the buildings.

My thought is that I'm leaving and going into another building finding a room to go into. There was an idea that it was a Saturday and some people were drinking and some were not.

One of the views is outside of the main building that was like a ticket office. There was an owner of the entire place speaking generally about a line the people would get into, my view was of these two paths made by bootprints in the snow up to the building.

At some point I'm over by a different building and it looks to me like there are boys playing a game of hide and seek. I can see from below and boy hiding behind boxes peering out at someone else in the distance. It looked like we were on some sort of bridge that led to another tall tower. Further was a huge chasm in the snow about 20 meters wide. The tower starts to move as apparently I'm in it. It moves very slowly and loops back around to the ticket office.


I woke up during these dreams and had sleep paralysis. The first was on my side and didn't lead me back into a dream. The second time I laid flat on my back and was immediately shot with paralysis which startled me a little bit. I stayed calm and steadied my breathing. I was trying to think of another scene but the only thing that came to my vision was this image of yellow sparks in my face.

I dreamt I was in a dark void again. This time coloured energy waveform meshes were doing there thing. Each one was associated with a different emotion.

[HR][/HR]I am standing it my kitchen when something (I can't remember what) prompts me to do an RC. I plug my nose and breath in and am shocked to find that I'm dreaming. I look around a marvel at how vivid and stable my dream is (my past few lucids have been right as I wake up so they have been very unstable). I look around and see a man and a woman. I say hello and they say hi back. I don't want them to distract me so I leave the room and try and remember my goals. I remember the grass goal. I know I get extra points for teleporting, so I teleport outside. There I see a field of grass which I walk over to and sit down on. I pick a piece up and smell it (it smelled just like grass in real life, but a little stronger, it was fun to experiment with how vivid the dream can be). Then I look around and see a pizza, which I eat a slice of (I forgot the picnic basket part). I walk over to another house, trying to remember something else I could do for points. I remember transformation and while I try to transform something, another DC approaches and tells me something about the house I have gotten to. I lose lucidity.

Throughout the night I also had 3 non lucids.

Points:
3 Non-Lucids: 3
Lucid: 10
RC: 1
Interact with a DC: 2
Teleport: 10
Completed Grass task: 20 points

After awhile the dream scene changes to a street. This guy is having a fight with another man and eventually throws him to the ground and the man thrown to the ground is now laying there unconscious. The man who threw him and I begin to run in the dark as the street lights went out. He and I continue to run as I begin to take up speed while laughing about how the wind feels against me.

That's when it occur to me that I can run faster that what I could in waking life and this triggers my lucidity. I begin running faster in till I was running in while in mid air. I then fly off telling the guy goodbye. The dream scene changes to a house where it would appear other family members like my father, aunties and cousin were residing. I get up from bed and lose my lucidity. Then a weird fluffy small animal came to me from the backyard.

I remember going down a curved road that I expected a giant wolf to be. I jump on top of a cliff where I see a giant fluffy wolf and I fist bump the wolf and he says something I don’t remember, but it wasn’t scary. I was worried before I got on the cliff that I was going to get attacked by the wolf, but that didn’t happen at all. The wolf was very white and looked sort of like a male lion. I end up in my grandmas house and the wolf or whatever is no longer a animal, but a human man. I was in my grandmas living-room and she said something about how she cleaned my room and something about a crypt. I instantly knew I was dreaming. She started saying random things. I say to her and the guy, “you know I’m dreaming?” My grandma wasn’t angry, nor was the guy that I was aware that I was dreaming. I had lucid dreams where some dream characters react negatively when I mention i’m lucid. I thought about going into my grandmas backyard and having a picnic on the grass for week 2 of the spring lucid dreaming competition. This dream happened after taking a very short nap. This was unexpected as I was lazy for a little while, but I did think about lucid dreaming before my nap. I was surprised that this wasn’t a nightmare. Short dream, but I went to bed around 6:45 AM and woke up around 7:40 AM.

-1-I don't remember anything from this LD. Later on in this dream, I parked the van in a residential area. After that, I walked down the street for about 2 seconds before I was climbing stairs at college.
-2-I became lucid for a few seconds at the tail end of a dream. The dominant color was beige.
-3-I reentered a dream, spawning in a store, before losing awareness. I looked at the lackluster board game selection on a few shelves, then left with my small, empty, useless cart. Later, I regained lucidity in a hallway, where I decided I would put my stabilization routine to the test. It was a failure, so it needed revision. (I'll be testing the revision tonight)
-F-Grandpa sat in a weird computer chair that had malfunctioning arm rests.
-F-FA. I noticed the winds were really high outside (60+ mph), so I observed at the window.
Lucid Time: 1m55s--3m40s
