    2. Day 8th of the competition

      by , 12-10-2022 at 09:02 AM (The world of Lyseno)
      Thursday December 8th 2022
      Dragon god. Red dragon. Dream game. Playing.
      I am inside of a big room. Become lucid and quickly leave the room, teleport to Lyseno and try to find something interesting to do. Got over to a random planet with not much to be done, not a place that I need to protect so don’t worry too much about it.
      Fly over to a different planet and arrive to a place that has a lot of jungles and forests but at the same time is SUPER technologically advanced, to the point they already deciphered the fully immersive games and what not.
      So obviously I want to try, been a while since the last time I got to play games inside of a dream.
      But then I need to purchase the game and the console and so much stuff… will do that a bit later, in the meantime just go over to a random forest and start there for the time being and relax.
      Back to sleep.
      Reading something like a newspaper, become lucid and start to… feel a bit stuffy. Sneeze a bit and then just clean myself up.
      Remember my goal from last dream and start flying to find the closest city then get over to the place.
      Once I arrive nobody seems to find strange I was flying so maybe it will be easier than I thought to purchase the things that I need to get.
      Watch how people bring out some kind of coins and pay with them so just create some of my own, enough to pay for stuff and get the machine and the game; next thing is to try and find a good place to play the game so teleport over to the forest again since no dangerous creature was there and it has a nice cold climate for me to be playing on.
      Place the thing on my head, it’s like a headband then place the game which is like a sphere on top of the headband and close my eyes.
      It is like doing a WILD, so cool.
      Once I enter the world figure out why there was such a big difference between their technology and their world, apparently they are not as technologically advanced as I thought.
      Am falling from the sky slowly, start flying down and can sense that instead of this being a game world, they have sealed some creatures inside of it a bunch of creatures that were too powerful to be kept in the normal world.
      No idea who did it, but they did it with the idea of a game. I think that the creator of this place may actually be one of my sons, since the people in this planet are way too weak to be able to defeat something in the level of the three dragons that are resting within this dimension and he is also the epitome of all technology.
      The first thing first, the game gives you a character based on your strength and this way people can train themselves until they become strong enough as to fight the dragons so they no longer need the game. The real reason they got money to purchase it is because money was given to those hunting stuff in reality, proving they wouldn’t die on day 1 in the game.
      My character apparently is broken, I am given no HP or MP bars due to the numbers being too high for this little world and some characters realize this right away and think I may be a NPC added to aid the players in becoming stronger.
      End up teaching some people how to use certain skills, among them how to control fire. They are all too damn weak… we fight some kind of knight that is made out of metal close to a mountain. Those creatures that spawn give mana to people to make them stronger, but the amount of many is super low and because of this little error in the design of the game nobody is getting strong enough to even dent the dragons, end up waking up without as much as burning down the knights and getting some mana myself, revealing that I am not a part of the game.
      Back to sleep.
      I am resting on top of a rock. Try to get up and discover moss to my side, slip and end up hitting my mouth. DAMN! I also become lucid while falling, roll over some as if I was in pain and then don’t feel anything… right, I am strong enough to not feel anything from such a thing.
      Get up, look around making sure nobody saw me and dust my clothes before walking towards a tree that is nearby and faking that nothing actually happened.
      One of the girls from the group I was on before lets herself fall from the tree and says she got fruits and offers me one, the damn girl saw me I am sure. She has red hair and is obviously someone I dislike and will have to die soon.
      She says that we need to get moving and is about to grab me when I just jump over, at least there was no comment about what happened.
      She says that some people ahead want to meet me and we move there. She is running and I am flying slowly behind her.
      We arrive to an open plan next to the forest we were on and there is a group of three people, two mages and one warrior. I know they want to test me and next thing I know is a Wyvern comes from above and is trying to attack me.
      I turn around and shot a fireball at it, the wyvern survives it so next thing I do is create blades made out of wind and cut it down in pieces.
      Apparently that was the strongest creature the three guys could defeat up till now, they also were not expecting me to win so easily. I fly down to them and tell them why they made a wyvern die without any reason to do so.
      They say they are monsters, and I say they forced a creature to be slayed without any reason, the monster in this scenario is not the wyvern. We get into an argument and I am pretty mad myself over this, resurrect the wyvern, stop time for the adventurers and take the wyvern with me.
      Back to sleep.
      I am sitting atop of a volcano. Some people are coming towards the volcano where I am at. The Wyvern is there with me and it feels afraid and prepares to leave.
      They throw spears at it that fly at really high speed and I stop them with TK then throw them back at their feet “Don’t take any more steps” tell them, one of the guys picks up the lance and throws it at me this time.
      It hits me in the forehead and just falls to the ground. The start to prepare their attacks towards me. I am pissed off still and then see a dagger in my neck. The red haired girl is here. I stand up and the knife slices at my neck, nothing happens.
      They all seem surprised, they were hoping for their weapons to do some damage to me.
      I teleport to another island within this game world and wait for them to try and pursue me, it isn’t far from our current location and even send them the map to get there quickly.
      The mage makes them all fly towards me and before they arrive I raise the water around the place. They break through with a lightning, good.
      Once they reach and prepare to attack me place them all on the ground with super gravity, the red haired girl seems to be asking me to stop, why? They are the ones attacking other living creatures without knowing why.
      This game is annoying and I want to end it, so prepare to do so right now.
      Tell them that they should all leave this place, as this will be the new home for all of the monsters, unless they want them all to be free from now on in both worlds.
      They refuse and so I cut the head of one mage “Rejection is not an option” I say while sitting down to look at them.
      They say someone else will beat me and I mention they haven’t been able to beat the three dragons yet, so how do they expect to defeat me? They try to say something again so just raise my hand, let the water fall and break the seal of all three dragons at the same time.
      The place trembles, are they strong enough to break a seal by Pinocchio? That would be fun, but it stabilizes after a bit.
      The people start screaming at me and ask me what I am doing, they have not yet realized that I am a much greater treat than all the dragons together?
      There is a mage dragon, a king dragon and a god dragon, white, red and black is the colours each one possesses and the first one to be encountered is the mage dragon.
      It teleports above us instantly and then looks down at us all, a flare of magic comes down on us all and everyone starts screaming loudly.
      I look up and stop the magic energy with a barrier, destroy it, enclose the dragon with TK and then make it fly higher. The pale face of the creatures FINALLY tells me they understand that I am more dangerous than the dragons.
      The dragon starts roaring loudly and the other two start coming towards us. I grab the mages on the floor and teleport in front of the mage dragon, then kill both humans in front of it. They are barely big enough to be the size of his eye. I can see the surprise in the face of the mage dragon “This is your world, I can crush you if I so wish right now, just go and live here happily, nobody will be able to stop you guys now” tell him and let him free, he leaves right away.
      Take the warriors except the girl since she has red hair, teleport to the dragon god that is coming our way and he stops right away then a claw comes swiping down on my face. It just stops there, makes no damage and I poke his claw out of the way. Damn these guys are big! Just the claw/nail is bigger than me.
      He grunts and asks me who I am “Someone making you free” I tell him, and let the humans fall in front of him, he eats them “This is a prison” he says, so I extend my arms and fold space then make this place its own planet instead of a prison “It is a connection now” tell him, he seems satisfied and leaves.
      Teleport the red girl to me and extend my hand, the red dragon comes at full speed towards me and I stop him with my hand, take the girl out and tell him he can kill all the humans in this planet. He is looking for blood.
      Apparently their kind ruled before since they were stronger “But ruling through fear isn’t good, this is why the humans hate you” told him, and obviously sealed them.
      He is mad and attacks me instead, I just block all his attacks. Once he calms down he says he won’t kill the humans but wants them back in their world and prepares to leave. I kill the girl for being annoying and teleport everyone else back to their own world. The connection is not lost yet, so some may come back here “Just kill them if they come” tell him. The dragon seems more surprised at me killing the girl “Also tell them I killed them all, don’t mind the animosity” and then just wake myself up.

    3. Day 7 of the competition

      by , 12-10-2022 at 07:47 AM (The world of Lyseno)
      Wednesday December 7th
      Two lucids, not much sleep. Had dreams with simpsons. To journal later.
      In the first dream I was in a sewage, way too big to be the normal one in my country. Became lucid nearly right away and went out just to find myself inside of a town made out of cartoons. Start to fly and go towards the centre.
      Many different type of cartoons start coming together so make myself invisible then mind control them to go away and forget I even exist here, don’t get to do much before waking up.
      Back to sleep.
      I am inside of a small house, it is white and a bit confusing because it looks like it is made out of plastic. Go towards some stairs that are close and become lucid, ah alright this makes more sense.
      Teleport outside of the house and wonder why I am in this place and prepare to leave then sense everyone coming towards me… ok that is not exactly nice. Try to make them all go away with mind control but for some reason most of them are mindless.
      Use scan and find the one controlling them and then make them push them out of my way. It only works temporarily… I can recognize guys from different series, including the Simpsons and they are still coming towards me.
      Even the guy controlling them lost his mind.
      Because of everyone losing their mind, just become invisible and prepare to leave flying when something strange happens… they start hitting each other and things go a bit crazy there. Apparently since they are all mindless puppets and lost track of their target it made them go mad with rage.
      Now that wasn’t bothering me, but the next thing that happens is that they all start to fuse with each other. It is actually quite a disgusting sight, you can see their bodies protruding purple tentacles with blood and what not and they are all dying.
      Damn, ok I can fix this. First of all return their minds to them, so they never again dare to attack me at the sight of what is going on while sane. The next thing that happens is that I reset their destinies deleting the one controlling their lives power over them, then reset time to before they started hurting each other.
      Some faint, some puke, they can’t take what just happened. Some may even die due to the shock. Once all of them are up and about again just leave again on my end by flying out of the planet and out of the universe. Apparently I was in a pocket dimension, that’s so annoying.

    5. Day 5 of the competition

      Monday December 5th 2022
      Today barely slept… again.
      Only remember one lucid at the end of the night. Was actually in the bathroom when I became lucid. Washed my hands, got out of the place and flew towards the location where the DC that I had been with before were at.
      Don’t remember their names at all but they were glad to see me.
      There was some kind of monster creature coming around which I did not mind, but it kept on attacking me instead of the other DCs so ended up crushing it with gravity and going around the place. It was like some kind of giant maze with a lot of people getting lost and dying to the monsters.
      The DC I was with kept following me since I kept defeating the creatures, and the traps wouldn’t really hurt me like the others who were dying.
      All in all, I had fun in the maze and only needed to kill one of the creatures, so that was good.

      Pizza Problems

      I go to a pizza place, I think. While I’m there, it is noticed that a dog has urinated on the floor near someone’s chair. I go to clean this up. This process seems to take longer than anticipated, and I’m at the pizza shop longer than I meant to be. I think my Mother eventually shows up, and is not particularly happy that I have been taking so long and didn’t get in touch with her. She might have even tried to call me and I didn’t answer. She says something to me like “does the number [her phone number] mean anything to you?”, sarcastically getting after me for either not answering her call or for not calling her to tell her that I was going to be late. I think I try to defend myself in some way.

      Fragments:

      (1) A “mummy”. A guy that looks normal, and probably attractive to women, but he turns into a mummy and/or zombie kind of thing. He also gets really mean, I think. There is a woman. For some reason, he catches her, ties her up, and hangs her from a tree. He might wrap her in some kind of animal skin, too. There is a bear, or some other vicious creature around. I think the man is enticing the animal to attack the woman. There is a skunk involved somehow.

      (2) There are two people walking down a street. Something about money, I think. One guy pulls some money out? Somehow, it is related to a guy having a pair of pants under another pair of pants, and pulling the other pair out.

    7. Log 2778 - DreamViews Winter Competition 2022 - Night 8

      by , 12-09-2022 at 09:37 PM (Dream Logs DWN-12)
      Created Friday 09 December 2022

      Got a DILD and some fragments today. I'll tally up the score as a few inquiries about the competition are clarified.

      Scrap Group 1
      Vaguely recall playing games.

      Something about work. Some former co-workers were around.

      Walking south between 97th and 88th street during a grey day. There was some commotion, compelling me to hide. I see some people picking reeds. Around then, I start feeling itchy. Some man said something about fire ants.

      Dream 1 - DreamViews Winter Competition 2022 - Night 8

      Scene 1 - The Unphasable Jock
      The visuals were dim. I was in an ancient complex, the constructions made of stone, lit braziers sitting atop cast-iron stands providing scant lighting. Soon, I stumble upon a small ramshackle town square type area. Purveyors had set up shop behind makeshift counters made of crates. Most distinct among them was a tall cloaked man wearing a beaked skull for a mask, a wide brimmed hat on his head. Speaking to me in a suspicious whisper, he presses on me a request to join a "gauntlet". Sounded quite interesting, but I decided to hold off for the moment.

      Just then, this huge, fat, light skinned, auburn haired guy wearing jeans and a striped shirt looms over me. Sizing me up, he snatches papers I happened to have in hand. He glances over a few things, and makes mockery of what I'd supposedly written. Two of his cronies, some short goony looking guys, laugh along with him. I was as baffled as I was annoyed at such a stereotypical jock attitude. I demanded he give back my belongings, but he paid no heed, and seated himself on stone benches to peruse some more. Frustrated, I projected shadowy energy near him, which I erected into a huge drill as a scare tactic. Once again, the jock dismissed my gesture.

      Spontaneously, I get aware. Thinking of tasks, I draw a dollop of the conjured shadow on my hand. The inky dark speck began slithering around each of my limbs. Through intent, I announced this was no mere shadow, but was in fact the shapechanging spirit, Eddie (from Guilty Gear). Sure enough, the glob expanded, then shaped itself into the Forbidden Beast's usual form, that of a crawling, black gargoyle-shark thing just over knee-high. Looked kinda weird to see him from top-down, especially his fins, which looked much thinner and sharper than I'd imagine. Anyway, I command Eddie to spook that nearby jerk. The creature expanded its jaws and distended its arms and claws as it growled. However, even this wasn't enough to phase that mouth-breathing jock, who merely waved me off in annoyance. Whatever. Don't care anymore.

      I then went back to the skull-masked man, and agreed to participate in his gauntlet. He nods silently. Soon, I felt an imminent warp. I allowed such to occur.


      Scene 2- Shadow Gauntlet
      Similar visuals. In a blink, I was immediately teleported to the courtyard of a different fortress, this one of Gothic design, a starless night sky the only source of illumination. Lines of tall walls crated maze-like hallways at all sides. Eddie didn't show up with me.

      I round a corner, when suddenly, a monster charges at me. This appeared as a fanged lizardman, its bulging shoulders contorting it into a shambling hunchback. Acting quick, I, once again, projected a large shadowy drill to interpose between us. The beastman dodges, if was still nicked, by the attack. When it stumbled at close range, I conjured Eddie. The spirit rose with its claws outstretched on an elongated arm, striking my opponent true. I followed up with a palm upper of my own, a blow mighty enough to launch the lizardman several meters into the air. I leaped to chase it higher, where I grabbed it by its head, then slammed it down face-first into the stone pavement. I continued by grabbing its leg, and bashing it around some more. Next, I had Eddie form into a puddle to trap my enemy. I was gonna continue wailing on it, but found there was no need, as it was already quite dead.

      I continue towards a gate, when the dream started blacking out. Soon, I woke up.

    8. Winter Competition Second Week, 1st Night

      by , 12-09-2022 at 06:28 PM
      This was a rather peculiar and odd dream.

      I found myself in a pitch-black manor.. I wasn't able to see much besides a few things. I gave myself night vision and was able to see a zombie-like entity that was headed my way, lunging at me. Before I was able to react and fully process the fact that I was dreaming, I've already woken up in a pile of sweat. The dream was really intimidating and it surely managed to scare me.

      I shortly went back to sleep, thinking nothing much of it.
      But there was I again, in the same manor. This time I was pretty mentally prepared and nothing could catch me off guard. I was not in the same room, but it felt like the same manor and I was sure of it.
      I recalled the competition and the tasks and immediately got to work. I phased through a nearby wall, and it felt like I was slowly making my way through gelatin. I wasn't able to see much besides the texture of the wall, until I was pulled back by something and I woke up, again. This time, the dream was trying to fool me into thinking that I've woken up, but I already knew that it was the same dream. I stood up from my bed, opened the sliding door to my balcony and flew off at a medium speed. But shortly after that I was woken up by my alarm clock, and didn't get to do much.


      That's basically it, since the weekends have started I'll be getting more dreams since my sleep won't be interrupted.
      The two dreams were pretty weird in my opinion, I don't get nightmares often anymore so it's a pretty rare experience, I had fun overall and actually enjoyed them.
    9. Winter Competition, First Dream.

      by , 12-09-2022 at 06:02 PM
      It was interesting. There was this sort-of "never ending yu-gi-oh match" taking place around the whole world, and I didn't play as myself, but could switch between the lives of these 3 children. One of them had a deck with nothing but Monster Cards, and he was just referred to the "Child of Strength". Another kid, had nothing but Trap Cards in his deck and people referred to him as the Child of Sin, then the other one was obviously spell cards, and he was the Child of Support. I would do daily life stuff, switching between these 3 kids.

      Some time passes and the Support Kid (I'm the Strength kid at the time) wanders off into a rocky cliff that I can't see the bottom of. I switch to the Sin kid and get there as well, and I can see some entity that's sitting down on a table with a Yu-Gi-Oh match going on. I hadn't even played the game for a while, so instead, I switch to the Strength guy and Jump off the Cliff. That ended the dream.
      It's a start. :)

      Scoring Edit: Scoring it for 1 point for now, cause while it was the full dream I recalled, I didn't really do any of the competition stuff.

    10. Talking with a dream character about how he becomes lucid nearly got me lucid for the first time

      by , 12-09-2022 at 04:22 PM
      I nearly became lucid for the first time this morning. I was walking with a guy in his neighborhood, I was barefoot and could feel the bumpy pavement on my feet, it felt realistic. We were just talking about dream stuff. He was going on about how when he gets on his snapchat in dreams they just keep going and that makes him realize hes dreaming.

      Then my alarm went off. Had another dream earlier in the night, this was the first time i've had 2 dreams in one night, but i forgot the details, but it happened. Should have gotten up in the middle of the night to record it.

    11. Winter Competition 12.8.2022

      12.8.2022

      Bedtime probably around 3:00. WBTB around 5:54am. I don't think I planned to do a WBTB, but one of the following dreams ("Gorku") was so interesting that I wanted to record it. I think it also kind of scared me and made me turn on the light.

      Fragments:

      (1) Something about a guy, outside walking around something? Sharp pieces of wood. He’s worried that something or someone is going to catch him. He is talking to someone else. Something like taking over a business? But the thing pursuing him makes him not want to take over the business any longer, or maybe he thinks the thing will catch him? Smashing at things (wood, like brush and/or downed tree branches) with a sharp piece of wood.

      (2) Singing songs (old west saloon songs?) while washing a strange knife in the sink. Instead of a cutting edge it has a flattened bit that runs around where the sharp edge should be. Something about how I can sing all the songs now that the kids are gone? (Implying that at least one of the songs is not appropriate for children to hear).

      (3) Someone singing a song from My Little Pony? While I do something with a toy lion?

      (4) Circuits, or pieces of circuits, talking about things. Bits of meat, or something, that are supposed to work like some cellular or electronic process. But it doesn’t seem to work properly.

      Trying reverse blinking?

      Mom’s Presentation

      Walking down a street. Two people jogging by – a man and a woman. I wonder if they are raising awareness about some neurological disorder or something. Something about kids going to school. This also involves plastic tubs. Lots of kids in the streets, transitioning into the aisles of a store. I make my way to the front of the store, avoiding the large numbers of kids by taking aisles to the side. When I get to the front, Mom is preparing to give a talk. A woman is talking first, but doesn’t seem to want to let Mom talk. It’s like this first woman just has a speech that she wants to read and won’t listen to anyone else. Then my Mom starts talking. She references things that the audience won’t necessarily understand, and doesn’t seem to be doing a great job in this presentation. This then kind of transitions into looking at children’s toys that make sounds (?).

      Gorku

      Oscilliscope thing to do something. Supposed to make them do something in response to light. I have some ulterior motive for wanting them to go through this, and actually am disinclined to have them do it. But there are some people, or another person (a doctor(s) or scientist(s)?) and they think it should be done. When they are subjected to the device, it makes the girl see something – “Gorku”? Some alien-like thing. Causes the person (not necessarily a woman anymore) to go into some kind of fit. Hands get distorted. Bloated. The arms are twisted back behind the person's head, palms facing behind them, I think. I think something is also wrong with their mind. We try to get it back under control but things won’t settle down. Putting a pillow on the back of their neck doesn’t help. We want to do something. The person is deranged now, and gets up saying that they prefer to “crack and pierce and crack and pierce”. By this, they mean attack and eat people, I think. Ripping them apart with their teeth, or maybe with their own bones.

      It took me until probably at least 8:00 to get back to sleep. I had a snack and a cup of tea in the meantime. The following were recorded after this.

      Aunt at the University

      At the University? Walking down a covered walkway, kind of like the Roman villa type. My Aunt is there (the former wife of one of my Uncles – I don’t see her very often). At least it looks like her. Whoever it is, I’m a bit afraid that they will recognize me for some reason. She is walking the same direction as me, and we both turn around at some point and go back the other way. I try to hide my face from her so that she won’t see me. I also walk closer to the wall, partially hidden by some pillars and I think more in shadow. There is an opening in the wall ahead of us, and I think she turns that way. Somehow, we get close to each other up here, and even talk briefly I think. She doesn’t recognize me though.

      Giveaways

      This might have been the same dream as above, so I’ll count all of this as one dream for the competition.

      On campus at the University. I have heard that they are giving out free things, including free money, not far away. I decide to check this out. I go to where this giveaway is going on. There are piles of things on the ground, and some people at a table being given free “money”. I go up to this table and try to figure out what’s going on, expecting a catch. Someone explains to me that they are giving us coupons that can be redeemed for money, but however it works out the coupons are only worth a few cents each, it seems. It looks like you can get as many as you want, but even then, someone tells me about another person who did this for hours and only got something like $30. It doesn’t seem worth it to me.

      There is another table where someone is either giving away or selling electronic devices, or watches, or something. They call me over, and try to sell me a fancy watch/phone thing called “Andromeda”. It looks pretty nice, and I fiddle around with it a bit. It has lots of dials and controls, and doesn’t look like a watch or a phone at all. I think at first it has something called a muffler, but then I see that I read that incorrectly. It has an adjustment knob, and they hand me a special wrench that you use to turn this knob. I turn it a bit, but it seems to be pretty tight. There is something about a button too.

      Fragments:

      (5) A house with “ghosts”, or things that are pretending to be ghosts. They are talking together about how to get some kind of treasure, like gems and gold, and such.

      (6) Driving somewhere. There is a guy standing at a curve in the road. I think he might be going to ask me for money as I go by, but he doesn’t say anything. I pull into the parking lot of a grocery store. There are one or two people walking around that want to avoid, and do so. I go into the store. There are a couple of blueberries on the floor, which I pick up. After a while they become cherries. I look around for more of these, because they look pretty good and I want to buy some. I don’t see any, though. I come across some woman and we talk about the fruit selection, I think.

      (7) Coming back into my apartment from somewhere and sitting down. I have a drink of something, with ice in it. I also want to write, or use the laptop, or something, and pull out a large slab of ice to rest the notebook or laptop on.

      (8) Writing a list of the things that I have dreamed about. This includes the giveaway and the ghosts, and a bunch of other things. Or maybe I’m looking at a list of things that I dream about and notice that these things are on there.

      (9?) Violent scenes that include scenes of crucifixion. It is gruesome, but I also realize that this brought about my purification (through Christ) and so I see something beautiful in it. (Not sure if this was a separate fragment though).

      Dad and Guns

      I go back home (my old home) from somewhere. Or maybe I get up in the morning and go to the kitchen. My Dad is sitting there. Or maybe I was there and my Dad came in. Anyway, instead of talking to him, I start talking to my friend from Kenya over WhatsApp. Then I think that I should probably talk to my Dad, so I stop talking with my friend and talk with my Dad instead. I look outside, and there is a car pulling into the driveway. It is dark out, and if it was breakfast earlier it seems to be night now. I don’t recognize the car, and I think the license plate is from out of state. A woman gets out and comes to the door. My Dad goes to answer the door and the woman pulls out a gun and points it at him. I grab for a gun that is in a box on the table next to me and point it at her. She doesn’t drop the gun, and I start to think that my gun might not be loaded. I find my Mom’s Derringer instead, and exchange guns. Then the dream seems to become more concerned with whether or not my mother has been keeping a loaded Derringer around the house, which I don’t think is safe. I’m a bit conflicted though, because I think that it might not be safe to have an unloaded gun either (in case something like what just happened happened). But I decide that I should unload the Derringer in the end. I open it up, and see two bullets in the chambers. The more I look, the more chambers there are, and they are loaded. In the end, there is something like 20 chambers with bullets in them in this gun. I work on prying the bullets out.

      Former House Dream

      My Mom and I go to visit one of the homes we lived in when I was growing up. At first it’s more like I’m imagining going there, because I’m looking at things and thinking that if the new owners have painted over them I could remove the paint and restore things to what they used to look like. I touch walls and trim and say things like “hello, old friend”. My mother calls my attention to something splattered on the ceiling. We discuss what we might have done to make a mess on the ceiling. Then my Mom decides that we should leave. I say something like: “that’s a good idea. I have so many dreams where we are back in this house, and while we are here the new owners show up”. Then I look out the front window, and the new owners are pulling into the driveway. We exit the house and Mom locks up behind us (she has a key to the house). We go to our cars as the new owners reach the house. My Mom says something to them, and they don’t seem to concerned that we have been prowling around their house. Driving down the road, I think something about how it would be nice to be friends with the guy who lives there now, and to be able to hang out in the house.

      Fragments:

      (1) For some reason I’m wearing purple lingerie (I’m a man, by the way). This includes some kind of skirt-like thing and a bra. I look at myself in the mirror and then think that I shouldn’t be wearing women’s clothes. “But,” I think to myself, “how do I know that these are women’s clothes? This might be a man’s bra.” Then I start thinking that there probably is no such thing as a man’s bra.

    13. Log 2776 - DreamViews Winter Competition 2022 - Night 6

      Created Wednesday 07 December 2022

      Got an LD and some fragments today. It took a hell of a long WBTB, but I think it was worth it.

      Scrap Group 1
      FA upstairs. I was strained and exhausted from my obsessive attempts at LDs. I make continual attempts at rolling to the floor, without success. There were moments where I suddenly felt something, whereupon I "awakened" abruptly.

      Dream 1 - DreamViews Winter Competition 2022 - Night 6

      Scene 1 - Rubber Walls
      The visuals were slightly blurred. FA in an unknown bed. Instead of a bedroom, I was in a vast living room of a huge one-story house, the ceiling high, floor orange tiles, and furnishings spread far apart. Supposedly, this was my brother Victor's new place. Mom and my niece Linda were around, and I also saw my cousin Sarah and her daughter in the area. There was a lot of chattering, frustrating my attempts at getting back to "sleep" for a chance at LDs. Eventually, I caved, and got up.

      I asked Victor about the local area. He told me about a shopping center nearby, much closer than compared to his "old" home. My brother also mentioned a particular site there (can't recall what). Interested, I think to check the place out. I try remembering where my belongings were. This leads to a nagging feeling that I'd forgotten something important. I pondered this over, and despite the sense of urgency, continued doing so for minutes on end. My thoughts stumble to the topic of dreams, and thus, leads me to do a casual breathing reality test. This proved inconclusive. But, this didn't matter, as my suspicions quickly developed to awareness.

      With the competition in mind, I leap backwards to phase through a window leading to the house's backyard. I recalled I needed to actually see myself going through a surface. So, I try charging through a frosted glass wall haphazardly placed between a patio and the greater yard. Upon reaching close, a force kept me running a place. I make a desperate leap to the wall, when the glass suddenly took on a molten, rubbery, almost gooey consistency. Trudging the inch, I spin forward, risking my getting enveloped by this oozing glass. To much relief, I finally make it through.

      I find myself in a huge backyard spanning many acres, its palisade wood fence nearing the day's horizon. Wasn't much to see, though, just a bunch of trimmed grass. Only a screen roof shed broke the monotony. I made my way there, when the dream begins to deteriorate. I concentrate on my breathing to stabilize the dream, and await a warp.


      Scene 2 - Aqua Mania Ball
      Similar visuals. I was inside that house again. Linda was nearby, dressed in white clothing. She looked considerably younger than she should be. My niece complains of boredom. So, I start tossing her around. On a lark, I chuck her much further than should be possible, throwing her almost to the 5 meter tall ceiling, then hurling her safely atop a lazy chair about 10 meters out. Dream or otherwise, I wasn't comfortable about the thought of endangering her, so I stopped that to do other things.

      I set out a side door. As per my three-step task, I begin to fly. I float through a floral hedge wall and under a stone gate, then over a suburbs. Soon, I arrive at a highway ramp spanning over a calm bay, sparse clouds at the distance in a cool dawn sky. Swooping down for a closer look of the road, I realize this ramp was actually an overtly long bridge. Anyway, I recalled I needed to fly fast to get points. So, I pick up speed, going about 200mph, easy, well above the pace of the few vehicles racing through the area. For extra ambience, I had the dream play suiting music. Soon, the intro theme from Sonic Mania began sounding. Since I'm not too familiar with this song, my mind began filling in the blanks. The music bridged into a jazz metal piece, of which I'm quite sure I've never heard. A lengthy kick-ass guitar solo that captivated me for minutes on end. Good times!

      Snapping out of my trance, I move on to task three: element manipulation. I charge energy at my hand, and fire it as a ki-blast down to the waters. For extra thoroughness (not sure if 'ki' counts as an element for the sake of this competition), I began drawing the liquid into the ki. I then gathered both matter and energy above my raised palm, an exorbitant glowing mass, hovering over me as an orb a city block in diameter. I fired the combined water-ki ball down to the greater bay. The waters separates, then orbits around the ball in numerous streams, before spraying around as jets in all directions. When the sphere made contact with the waves below, the bridge and other surroundings suddenly became a sea. A vortex formed beneath me, which slowly spiraled upwards, and before long, I was surrounded. I suspected the dream was collapsing. So, I awaited another warp.

      I woke up briefly. Dream re-entry seconds later.

      Scene 3 - Hugging Summon
      The visuals were slightly blurrier. I was in the aforementioned house once again. Soon, I try a personal task. For this sake, I attempt to summon D. I hug empty air in front of me, when, to my pleasant surprise, the obsidian construct steadily blinked in view. She wasn't manifested quite to spec (bald instead of blue flame hair; no leather wings or horns; only shoulder height instead of gigantic in stature). Oh well, being present is more than good enough for me. Her skin was also warmer than human's, unusual, but also quite comforting. Anyway, I ask for help in more tasks. The construct assents without question.

      With the groundwork underway, I float us both to an opened hatch-style window above the front door. I squeeze us outside, when the sun glared to blinding intensity. Soon, I woke up.

    14. Winter Comp Night 6: Dysphoria

      by , 12-08-2022 at 10:31 PM (Lucid Time!)
      One thing about LD comps is I feel compelled to share dreams I wouldn't otherwise because they seem somewhat inappropriate for public discussion. Content Warnings for the relevant bits, proceed at your own risk.

      I recall being in the park of my old town meeting up with a group of about 20 dream characters who are part of a firearms enthusiast club. I have brought a new gun.it looks like an fn p90. I converse with the members of the group who are enthusiastic about owning new large assault rifles and are talking about wanting to go to a shooting range to have an accuracy competition and take slow motion videos of bullets hitting things.

      The leader of the club is an army captain or major who wears a slight beard of light brown hair and a baseball cap. He gives a short friendly but firm lesson on gun safety. Reminding all club members to check safeties and keep weapons unloaded. He then emphasizes not to point any firearms at anyone ever. Even if they are unloaded and have the safety on because a bullet could still be in the chamber.

      We dismiss the meeting and I head home. The layout of my old neighborhood is disjointed and in order to get home I must walk along a narrow dirt path that runs through woods and wetlands. The trees are bare and the reeds in the wetlands yellow and dead as though it is winter. On one side of me are huge vertical houses five or six stories tall built on sloping lawns draining into the wetlands.

      I navigate back to my childhood home before remembering that my parents and grandparents are visiting and would never approve of me having a firearms. I go in through the basement door and wrap the carbine in dirty laundry including a thick jacket.

      I make my way upstairs and all the dream characters aggressively question me including my childhood friend X. I repeatedly explained that I was just doing laundry and tried to sound annoyed rather than nervous. eventually they bought my line of bs.

      I got up to my room which resembled how it looked when I was in junior high. I hid the laundry with the gun in my closet. My father appears and shows me a Lego star wars ucs at-at and says he wants to build it with me.




      I am at college but the environment is original to dream. At first I am in a cafe with a subway and see my old supervisor from when I worked at subway. I then headed outside onto a pool terrace. There are multiple small hot tubs in a sort of terraced structure, with water flowing down waterfalls from one tub to the next. There are a multitude of dream characters lounging around in swimsuits and some of them are rather attractive. Many of them are looking at me funny.

      I then notice that I am not wearing swimming clothes but rather a tucked in button up shirt and dirty white boxer briefs. I immediately feel embarrassed and decide to remove myself from the situation, heading back inside. I go into the women's bathroom by accident. It is a normal, actually somewhat nice bathroom with a vase of flowers on the counter. I get thrown out by a woman and go into the mens room.

      Spoiler for CW: feces and masturbation:


      I lost the dream and mercifully woke up. Did a WBTB with the intention of having another dream about me being junior high age, a frequent theme but recognizing it and becoming lucid.

      Just found out about RB. My major problem is that I take so long to go to sleep, thus ruining my dream cycles. I will give this a try tonight. Fingers crossed!
