ACT ONE: HINDRANCE

There was a party at my house a lot of people talking and dancing. There were a lot of people I knew there and a lot of people I didn't know. I was sat down in the main party area where two kids started annoying me around 10 to 12 years old. I got mad and pushed with force both of the kids to the ground. The mother of one of the kids got mad at me and she looked like the karen meme then I go to my bedroom to ignore her. I lock the door and can relax, then someone from outside knocks down the door and a bunch of people pile in. At the same time I clicked a virus link on my laptop and it started going crazy opening random videos and images and looked like when they over exaggerate hacking in movies. I eventually considered the laptop a lost cause and returned to the party. There was a person that looked like someone I knew that made a joke I laughed at it and gave them a hug as I hadn't seen them in a long time, but it turns it was someone that looked similar to someone I knew and the person I knew was right next to the person I hugged.

ACT TWO: REGRET

I go into the main area and it seems bigger than I remember. I then go into someone random persons bedroom and see this femboy looking fella. I'm questioning at first whether or not it's a guy.
I say fuck it and decide to fuck. The unknown entity agrees. I pull down it's leggings and and see a cock and balls and confirm it is indeed a man, but I'm too far deep now and too horny to give up so I just say fuck it and do the do. Big Mistake. The first second is maybe pleasurable, but after that the feeling is unexpected. It feels like I stuck my dick into a sewer drain. I instantly pull out and nearly throw up. He is clearly affected by my reaction and runs out the room. feeling disgusted, I go to take a bath. While in the bath, I see the femboy again sobbing and crying. I call him over, I ask him to get in the bath with me and he gets in with all his clothes like a stupid idiot.

ACT THREE: FEARFUL FOR LIFE

Its late at night and I'm tired and don't feel like walking. I'm there with the femboy aswell. I hitchhike a random car as it passes by, I get in this black van and they start driving. They are driving in the middle of the woods and they seem to be going in circles. I'm scared for my life and I wonder how it's gonna feel to die. They pass the exact same tree for the fifth time except they quickly drift down a different way than the other times, they do a full 360 drift around this tree with duck tape and shackles on the base of it. The 2 men in the car with typical bank robbing masks pull out guns and there are 2 to 3 more outside with guns too. I realize how absolutely fucked I am. I think of any possible way out of this situation, since it's a dream my brain comes up with something. I see a video of a lawyer telling me that I payed these guys as hitmen to kill someone else but I don't remember it, So all I need to is pay them the money and they will leave me alone. I pay the money and the dream ends around this time.

This dream is something else I don't know how my subconscious comes up with this shit.

Sunday December 4th 2022
Yes, slither away.
I am checking something online, become lucid while doing so and… damn. I like dream online searching functions. Start searching for random books and actually find some stuff that is interesting about old kingdoms and conspiracy theories presented as if they were fact.
Probably should stop reading stuff in dreams online, it would be better to be in an actual library.
Once I am inside of the place teleport a book onto my hand and open it, not very interesting. Start to take them out while I walk through the halls of the library and review the titles then place them back using TK.
Find some really good books about fantasy and some others about dream history. Bring a chair over to me and sit down, nobody seems to be in the place so it should be ok to just shamelessly use the hallway like this.
Back to sleep.
Those books were good! I am lucid already and want to go back, but then will be reading too much. Not sure what to do just teleport randomly and end up on top of a star… not good, they are too bright from up close.
Fly somewhere else and end up in a weird rocky planet, it feels too cold.
End up finding some snake like creatures roaming around and they are fun to play around with; follow them and they take me to a forest that seems as if it’s made out of metal, which apparently is because the leafs indeed do have metal. They use it in order to gather heat that will make it easier for them to do their own synthesis/metabolism by applying thermal powering of chemical reactions.
While I am just looking at it like a dumb person see a shadow on my peripheral and then turn around just to find lizard men surround me, they look surprised but not scared which I find amusing “Hi” I say and try not to make any sudden movements.
They look at each other and tell me something I can’t understand, so just try to ignore them and go back to watching the leafs when I get grabbed and they start to drag me. Prepare to get free and go back but end up waking up.
Back to sleep.
I am inside of a cell. Get up and look at the bars, they are… wide to say the least, easily slip through and just start walking casually through the place and gain lucidity while doing so.
Some creatures come… OH! I remember them, this time they have weapons similar to guns and I get shot with some kind of liquid metal that is actually hot. I grab it and toss it to the ground then use TK to take their weapons away and keep on walking.
They try to stop me but I just keep walking, find a door and since don’t know how to open it just slap it open and keep going.
Another lizard comes by and tries to bite me, at the start it isn’t annoying but then it bites my head and I can’t see so end up using scan to know what they want.
Apparently all they are trying to do is keep me closed since they don’t know if I am dangerous; make sure to leave the message to them in their minds that I am only dangerous if I get attacked and most of them back off.
Except for one big guy who is flying in the sky and has some kind of robe and a staff. He holds both arms together and energy starts to gather around him…
Yeah no, I want to go back to the snakes. Raise my arm and make the staff disappear and then there is a huge burst of energy above the guy, it is big enough to make it seem like a building is on top of the guy, but its luminous and may explode at any second.
Keep my hand up and then use the energy coming from the building of light and make electrons out of it, then combine them and make atoms, then combine them further and make Hydrogen and Helium and make it snow around the place. Most everyone is surprised and think its cool except for the guy I just kind of humiliated in front of his people.
Teleport in front of him then slap him onto the ground and teleport to the snakes again and look at them get up on the tree and slowly hunt down insects that get close to it, this is much better.

Saturday December 3rd 2022
Not much done, sadly.
I am walking around on the street, become lucid and decide it is time for me to start talking to some people in order to accomplish some more personal goals.
Prepare to teleport but there is very deep and loud snoring coming from waking life and can’t properly concentrate. Try to ignore it but it’s still there so ignore sounds from waking life just to feel a hit and then find myself awake.
Back to sleep.
Talking to myself basically on the mirror. Ignore the mirror and start to wash my face and then become lucid.
Once I am lucid teleport outside of my house and over to another universe, try to find a crack in the place but it seems to be properly held this time. Oh come on!
Since there are no cracks I got to make one myself. Raise my hand and start punching the thing a few times, there is no response so need to be a bit more serious. Continue to do so when I can hear some kind of sound and also feel someone coming close to me searching for problems. Use scan to fuse with the place and just fly around to a different location.
This is cracked already anyways and then can hear a very loud meow… my cat wakes me up a few seconds after that.
Back to sleep.
I am with husband in bed, become lucid and decide to leave him there sleeping. Start flying and get out of the planet then slowly use Scan to move around and slither around a different location.
Once I reach the new place, hide myself by transforming into a different person and hide my own presence then simply search for a good plane to be at and descend.
Not much done since I can hear noises from waking… oh I know that alarm, since I know that won’t be turned off until I wake up and do it myself and won’t be sleeping after that decide to just sit down on a leaf in the middle of the forest. The leafs are big enough to have two or three people in them without breaking down so just don’t mind it at all and wait there until it is time for the inevitable.

WBTB about 3:30am

Grandparents’ House Dream

At my grandparents’ old house. My mother and brother are there. We have to clean up some things, apparently. My Mom makes me go into the living room to pick up some things, but she and my brother disappear. Meanwhile, a big truck comes along and lowers a small crane thing into the living room through the ceiling somehow. This is to attach large items to so that they can hoist them out. It seems as though we are moving. I get kind of annoyed that I have to do all this work while my Mother and Brother are not helping. I go looking for them, but can’t find them (I think, anyway. There was another piece of this or another dream involving my grandfather. We had heard a loud crashing sound from the garage while my grandmother and grandfather were returning from somewhere. My grandmother came into the house, but my grandfather had not yet come in. After a little bit, I get kind of worried and go out to the garage to look for him. I look around, but can’t find him. This incident and the part where I’m looking for my mother and brother seem to be a little mixed up in my memory – they might even have been the same thing). My mother and brother come back after a while, and won’t say where they have been. They seem a little smug, in my opinion. Then I hear them talking about “putting a sign up” or something like that, inviting people to come and take things. I get the idea that it was a storage unit, and think that it was probably my grandmother’s storage unit that they went to. They must be clearing it out, without even seeing if I wanted anything first!

(At this point, things are a bit muddled. I might have run out trying to get to the storage unit before it was cleared out. But there is another dream episode that I remember that feels like it started to pick up here. And some of this might even have been more than one other dream. For the sake of the competition though, I’ll count the following part as the same dream.)

There is a box on a shelf nearby, which contains a copy of the Myst computer game (or maybe even Myst itself). It makes sounds, and I think someone might want to take it. I might grab it or something to take it away and hide it. Then (?) I go out into the garage. There is some medieval/Middle Earth like thing going on. A villainous ruler, or something, wants to poison (?) a hero. There is supposed to be someone working to prevent this, but in the end the vial of liquid (which was vital to preventing the poisoning) is broken...

Running and Hiding

My brother and I are walking down a road. We pass a mentally ill woman who is dragging two soft drink cans behind her on strings. She gives these to me, and I start dragging them. My brother and I talk about this, and he doesn’t think I should be dragging these things for her. I decide to leave the strings on a road sign nearby (although my attempt to wrap the strings around the post fails and they just fall off). I still have one or two of the cans, which I end up just tossing into the ditch. Then the dream becomes a situation in which my brother and I are trying to hide from this woman, who is following us. We go off into the countryside, and I’m concerned that the woman will be able to track us. My brother doesn’t think that’s likely, but I’m still a bit concerned. I duck down behind some shrubbery to hide, and then get back up and keep going. Now it seems that I’m alone, pulling two wagons through the woods. I pull them over a fallen tree, but then come across a tree that is laying across the path and is too high to pull the wagons over. I look around, and find a path to the right where I think I can get the wagons through one at a time. I pull the first one through and park it near a road on the other side of the obstruction. Then I go back for the other one, but as I do so I notice that there are people around. I feel the need to hide from them, and the woods are sparse where I am now. I try to duck behind a tree, and end up jumping down on the ground to try to hide myself. Two kids come along, and eventually spot me. It turns out that I’m just playing some kind of game, or at least that’s what I tell them. Now they have blown my cover though.

Fragments:

(1) Something about Sherlock Holmes (I think this was a longer dream, but I don’t remember much of it now)

(2) A Bible school activity, or something, involving mud and shaving cream. I want to participate, but end up just having to watch remotely through some kind of screen.

(3) Fighting (?) in some woods. Also a game-like map. There are sticks (we fight with the sticks?) Kind of LOTR fantasy-like in a way. I don’t really see the map, but as I move from place to place there are descriptions of what it is like at each place. One spot is a swamp, I think. Another spot is an elevator.

(4) Swinging on a rope, or a vine, or something. I swing out over a hillside and recognize the place below me. I feel kind of triumphant that I recognize the place, almost like I know it’s a dream on some level and am glad that I identified the location. I then walk along the ground a bit, trying to make my way to the top of the hill without getting too close to people or their houses. Apparently this is earlier on in the pandemic, and people might be afraid that if I even walk near their house I might spread Covid to them. I try to stay near the river at the bottom of the hill, but it seems to be difficult to avoid getting close to houses.

(5) At my grandparents’ old house. I’m on a laptop checking out Dreamviews. Meanwhile, someone on the other side of the room starts a live stream of himself through Dreamviews. I start to say something in response to the live stream, and my voice comes through the speaker of my laptop and I think there might be a bit of feedback. I realize that they guy on the other side of the room is one of the other Dreamviews members. That’s kind of exciting. I go and introduce myself as cedwards105. He introduces himself too, but his username was something difficult to remember with a bunch of numbers and/or letters in it. He seems to be a heavier built man, with a kind of purplish scarf/beard thing around his neck.

I think I had a near WILD experience at one point. The hypnogogia was quite vivid, and I still seemed to be pretty lucid. I was looking at some words and trying to see if I could read them, but the letters kept changing on me. It might have even been a dream by this point, but I just don't know for sure.

I forgot most of this but it's worth noting

Saw my dead father in law and it triggered low level lucidity. I recalled the dream when I woke up could not recall what I did later this morning.
Later dreamed I flew somewhere to visit a customer with my brother for work. We brought parts back. During the flight back the plane vanish and we power glided to the plant.

6 Dreams In total

Dream 1:
I'm completely naked in the shower except for a wearing the beanie of a missing/dead person and apparently I had connections with the murderer who had a bunch of wives and they all were saying bad things about him specifically on his masturbation addiction. I took the beanie off a noticed some dirt and fluff on it so I put it in the shower and then threw it on the floor as it made the noise throwing a wet toilet paper
sheet would make. I then left the shower and surprisingly my reflection was completely normal in the dream. I put on a black suit while listening to some Halloween songs with my phone in my suit pocket.
Dream 2 (Fragment):
I had a dream of watching this youtube video on this guy saying you cant have lucid dreams of cave dwelling? very hard to remember this one.
Dream 3:
I was talking to this chef and his assistant in his kitchen he had a bunch of ingredients all around his kitchen but he was eating a microwave meal and drinking some cheap wine.
I noticed both guys had the same face problem like the same kinda red pattern on their face. The chef was talking about how he loves being on earth right now and he is grateful for the current moment and that this is the only life he has. He was saying this part outside the kitchen in the deep woods for some reason, he was also shirtless and had an 8 pack. I knew I was a time traveler in this dream so I knew this guy was gonna die very soon in the future. also a part where i'm in this soccer field (american football) and one of the chefs friends gets knocked down by this behemoth of a man and is unaffected.
Dream 4:
My dog gave birth to 2 cats somehow. They both also came out of eggs like a chicken and were warm to the touch. The cats seemed pretty motionless and were unable to react to things. I was talking saying it's insane that we let our dog give birth to 2 cats and I accidentally kicked one of them over they got mad at me for accidentally kicking the cat and I felt bad. Then the cats kinda morphed into these plushies of cats but they were still able to move it was super weird. one looked like a plushie of ww2 mustache man but in cat form and one looked like a creeper from minecraft but in cat form. I remember feeling really bad
for these cats for having this weird skin. I stroke one of the cats and it accidentally hit its head on a metal pipe and stopped moving, I think it ended up surviving that. I also didn't want to crush the cats while I was sleeping so i tried to find a suitable area to put them to sleep but my friend put the cats into plastic bags as a bed, I instantly said what the fuck are you doing?!?!? but he sealed the cats in the plastic bag and they both died.
Dream 5:
there was some guy who was like 7 feet tall in my house just waddling around he said something about meeting a nymph and asked if I knew what that was, I just said it was a mermaid of somekind.
He wanted to take a smoke break on the balcony in my house but he seemed worried that I would lock him out. I assured him that I wouldnt do that. The guy also had blood come out of his mouth and nose when he talked one time. I kept the dude locked out in the balcony and went to my bedroom. there were two windows one where my actual window is and one in the bottom right corner of the room. It looked like a glitch of some kind. I could see skyscrapers and other things through it.
Dream 6:
I also remember another window related dream where I was chilling in bed and saw across from me a bunch of lights and noises coming from the another house. For some reason I knew it was the twitch streamer pokelawls house. The noises really annoyed me so I went live to try and take some of his viewers and a graphic of his viewers forming a celestial object was in my head, as I went live my planet grew until it dwarfed pokelawls planet of viewers and the dream ended here somewhere.

The writing is messy and bad but I couldn't be bothered to write all this cleanly so here you go.

Apartment, Sick Girl, and Keys

At the apartment. Mom and some other people are here. This might also be my grandmother’s house. There is a little girl there, who is sick. My mother and at least one other person are going to take her to a hospital. I plan to go along, but while I’m getting ready to go they leave without me. There are two cars going at this point. This makes me so frustrated that I throw my keys out into the road in exasperation. After they have gone I go to look for my keys. There is traffic on the road, and it is raining too. This makes the search for the keys harder. I start a monolog that seems to be part prayer, part talking to myself, and part talking to the keys. I become a little crazed with my search for the keys and realize that I’m starting to talk like Gollum talking to the ring. The cars are going to be coming back soon. A woman says something to that effect (it’s going to be her last trip, or something – which means that the cars are about done with their trip).

The dream seems to shift a little bit, and now I’m rummaging through some clutter on a desk looking for the keys. There is at least one other person with me, and they are talking about how the place we are at seems like some kind of illegal strip joint. It’s as though they employ men to dress as women but pass them off as actual women to customers. Somehow the police get involved. In the meantime, I find my keys and start kissing them in celebration. There is something about closely examining the keys, which are also old coins at this point, looking at the things that are printed on them. Meanwhile, we go back across the street, and someone mentions the sausages laying on the ground (there are a few of these scattered on the ground).

I don’t quite remember where the following scenes belong. They seem to be related to the above dream, so I guess I’ll have to count them all as part of the same dream for the competition.

...I get into the car this time as we drive to the hospital. It was either that or wait around for a long while with nothing to do. There appears to be a seat open for me in the car. As we leave, I mention that I’m not really familiar with driving in the area...

In my “room” (wherever that is). I’m doing something – maybe taking a nap. I go outside, and people are doing things. I feel a bit disappointed that I have slept through what might have been fun. I don’t think I was in my room too long, but then it starts to look like I was in there for a couple of days. I don’t think I was sleeping the whole time though. I appear to have been writing poetry. This involved displaying words on the wall somehow...

...Throwing snowballs. I and a couple of other people seem to be having a snowball fight...(Yay!! Winter Theme!!)

...Someone tosses something (a snowball?) in front of a parked car, which triggers an explosive. This was part of their plan. Someone else does something similar...

...Talking to someone about a phrase like “being all alone on a hot June day”. It’s supposed to be a poetic description of something going on currently, I think. But there is snow outside...

...My neighbors are in a room playing a game. I kind of want to play too, but I don’t know if I would be invited. Also, I have to go to the bathroom. I use one bathroom, but after leaving I feel like I still have to go. I start wandering around a bit looking for another bathroom that I saw, but now I can’t seem to find it.

Fragments

(1) I’m in a space ship. Something makes me think that I should do a reality check, so I look at my left hand and count my fingers. There are six of them. I might do this check at least once more. I don’t recall what happened after that

(2) At my Grandparents’ house. Martin Luther King Jr. calls. Apparently, he is a friend of the family. Someone is having a discussion about how they didn’t like to go see MLK because of the crowds. Somebody brings up something about overly aggressive police, or something.

(3) Someone is working on a project, and needs to go to the town of Neffs to use a piece of equipment. I get excited, because I used to work in Neffs. After one failed attempt, I finally ask the person where they went, and it turns out that they went to my former workplace to use the equipment (a “joiner”, I think it was). There is some discussion about whether it is “Neff” or “Neffs”. I have the idea that there were two places, something like “North Neff” and “South Neff”. At some point they kind of merged, and are now called “Neffs”. Anyway, I reflect on how it would have been funny, but a little nerve-wracking, if I had had to go there to use the equipment. In such a case, I would end up working with my old boss and my current supervisor on the same project, and have two bosses at once.

(4) I fell asleep in the midst of a large pile of assorted objects. It’s like the junk one would have stored in their garage, but also includes “religious tracts”. Sleeping here causes me to dream about the objects around me. There is something about my brother coming along to sleep nearby, and I seem to want to hide from him, I think. When I wake up (in the dream), I am reminded of the dreams that I had been having when I look at the things around me....

05/12/2022

The non-lucid part of the dream was a jumble of people interactions and I only remember a couple of scenes.

I was standing in a queue for some kind of club or a party. There was some kind of an entry or a teleportation device, I couldn't really see what was behind it. It was letting people in only very slowly and there were no people coming out. I worried about too many people being inside already but others just assumed that there is a different exit.
There was a boy ahead of me, who managed to cut the queue in a very smart way, no one noticed. I knew him and he winked at me and I knew he wanted to help me to get in sooner too.
Then suddenly, something distracted other people in the queue and they run towards the distraction. Happy about the opportunity, I entered the teleportation device.
At this point, I knew I was dreaming and I knew it was supposed to teleport me to the party, it wasn't just an entry. It was like a sack that was way too small for me but I could stretch it and pull it around myself, it was a very weird process. When I managed to fully get in/pull it over myself, so that I was in complete darkness, I started to see the new scene. Then the feeling of being squished in a sack disappeared completely and the new scene became solid around me.
I was happy, I knew I managed to actually teleport. My lucidity was low though. I remembered the competition, I knew that teleporting was a task, and I also knew I wanted to do more to get points but I wasn't really thinking.
The place was a forest with various beasts, mostly felines. There were tiny tigers (20cm from head to tale), somewhat disturbing. Then I saw a lion, a normal full-size lion, which was even more disturbing, but it was behind a fence. Suddenly, it run towards me and it run right through the fence. It didn't attack me immediately but I wanted to get away from it. I considered letting it eat me/attack me but couldn't think of any way how to gain points from it, so I decided to fly away instead.
There was a path that lead to high ground, perfect for taking off. I tried to fly but struggled with it (losing altitude quickly, clothes blocking the movement of my hands). So I tried a different way - while still in the air, I turned on my back, seeing only the sky above me, completely ignoring the ground. I flew like that, very quickly, copying the shape of the steep slope of the hill. It was like sledding on a cushion of air. I knew I was just a little bit above the ground because I touched it briefly and I could also feel some small stones that got blown up by the speed of my movement.
I landed under the hill, quite comfortably on both legs, although I still had some momentum and the world felt like spinning. Before it settled down, I woke up.

Dream 1:
I'm in this long hall way, white walls, brown carpet with a weird pattern in white on it. I enter into a hotel room and sit down to relax. I remember that I have 1 million subscribers on youtube and that I need to upload more. Instead I split into two versions of me one goes onto the toilet and starts smoking weed, while the version im in just lays in bed for an hour. I go to check on the high version of myself and see that he is insanely high his eyes are red, I do a little trolling and start scaring the high version of myself until he pulls out a knife and aims it at me. The dream ends around there.

Dream 2 (Lucid) :
I was in my house but It was bigger and pretty clean compared to my real house, we had orange sofas and it looked like a tv set. I was paranoid because apparently the previous owner of this house was a crime lord. I was taking a really nice hot bath when I noticed my bath was my bed. It had a mattress on the top of the bath and pillows and other things I got out to check if the mattress had gotten wet. It had not.
I get out of the bath and notice alot of broken windows and scary noises outside. I go out into the main living area where I see my friend building something in my house with minecraft blocks.
He is building an impossible minecraft jump with redstone and if you miss it you die in the void so I don't try.
The part where I get lucid is I am looking out my window and notice the view is super weird not what my actual view looks like. There is a temple from a place in Thailand I visited years ago and a flying saucer that is a temple. I question this to my friend and I look back and it is the same, I then realize I must be dreaming and there is no other way I wake up a little after that, I think the dream was on it's end anyway.

Bedtime ~ 23:25 2022-12-04

[time uncertain]

+ I'm in (my?) home [false] and I go outside to a terrace. There is a group of people there, some seated on a railing and some standing behind it. They are all looking at me, with a sort of disapproving expression, some I think are people who used to live here, and I want them to go away but they stay right there. I also see RitDal and her parents [including deceased mother]. She is thinking that I will have (to do something? consequences?) for my <foreign> residency. They wonder if I know about the relevant laws.
I go back inside and a large built tall young man comes inside, too. We make some sort of transaction with cash.

+ I start an lengthy calculation on the computer, set to use all the CPU time. Walking from my room into another room, someone monitoring the computer system says the CPU usage is spiking, I say "yeah, that's from me, I'm compiling a shader." I return to my room, it's fairly large and mostly empty, there are windows on the right wall and in the far right corner a large bed up against the windows. The computer desk is against the window wall to the right in the close corner. I look this room and think I'm one of the lucky ones to have a single room, this is unusual, and I can rest here because of the bed. A colleague (small asian man?) is with me and we go to the computer table.

[very groggy decide against WBTB, BTS]

[05:00 waking, bathroom, WBTB, MILD using above scenes, set intent for LD]

[A number of short dreams/fragments interspersed with wakings follows]

+ I'm in a room in a medical clinic. I see the (young male) doctor in the area outside, I recognize him as having seen my on a prior visit (and performed some procedure?). My kids and I are spinning "tops" (like cymbals of different sizes, mostly small) via wound-up cord, 2-3 of these. Outside on a walkway through a door I notice a very high inverted-"V" shaped climbing wall (like used for dog obstacle courses), several stories tall, mention it, son S2 says yeah, they had one of those. I leave the room to the central nurse's station from which rooms radiate in all directions. There is a man from a neighboring room there, I go to his door [more? forgotten].
Back in my room there are kids taking popsicles from the (bottom) freezer of the fridge, kids are coming in to the room to do this. One of the kids takes the freezer door with her. "Hey, you can't take that!" I tell her. She says her mom said she wanted in in order to wash the kid's dress (there is a small basin indentation in the door that could hold water if turned upright). I tell her to leave the door and instead ask the nurses for a washbasin.

+ [f] Lying down on my back, my 1st wife E is kissing my stomach. I think some "frisky" time with her would be a nice change of pace.

[Notes: "clinic for men", "modelling project", I do not recall any detail about these phrases!]

+ A war games scene begins on the ocean. A plan has (crash?) landed there by the docks. I go to look at the uniforms of the soldiers to see which ones are good guys and which ones are (German?) enemies. One solider is cowering with his knees drawn up in a corner, there is one with an enemy patch who is in a small jar. I take the jar and open it, filling it with water, and screw back on the top and let it sink in the ocean, I think this is sort of messed up drowning him like that. Inside a room then with my sons as small kids, I see that they have contributed to the pile of magazines on the floor, but I see that they've added magazines in <foreign> language, I'm concerned about backlash from this and tell them pick them up from the pile.

+ I'm walking with my son S1 and his wife to go register all of us at B high school, my old school. We're in downtown B. I know a short-cut to the office and lead is there. We're there on the large campus, I look around and wonder what S1 thinks of this school, it's really large. I "remember" that the office is in the center of a long building on the far side of the campus from where we enter. We go there and I'm trying to figure out if we go inside or what, then I see that there is a service window with counter that opens up to the outside and that other students are lining up there, so I figure that's where we go to register and get our class schedule. We're going to need to present out passports as ID. I'm a bit concerned that the officials will notice all the <foreign> stamps in our passports and that this might be an issue.

+ [f] standing at the registration desk for a preschool, located on a high walkway. The young kid who's registering has brought home baked cookies and we hope that these are sufficient to be admitted to the school. Behind me on an external stairway leading down are other parents waiting in line.

Dream Fourteen (10.18.2022)

I was in a dollar general and was looking through the dollar movies. I saw Ice Age, original Star Wars, etc. Then I saw a movie called "Apocalypse Girls". The cover had a group of middle aged women on the bottom, the logo in the middle, and then a city being destroyed at the top. When I turned to the back it looked like a normal DVD with images from the movie and a synopsis + rating (R). It was about a group of moms trying to save their kids during an alien apocalypse after they got separated. And honestly? 10/10 would watch.

Almost no dream recall today. The only bit I remember is I was holding a computer mouse this morning. I started to wake up and while I was waking up I realised it was a dream. This could've been a chance to get fully lucid but it was over within seconds so I was probably too close to fully awake.

Instead of thinking about lucid dreaming, my immediate response was that as I'm holding a computer mouse (or dreaming about holding one) I should see if I can use it and I tried to press the buttons. At this point I became fully awake, feeling that there was nothing in my hand as I moved my fingers.

I quickly remembered the advice for a DEILD and kept very still and tried to re-enter the dream but I was immediately disturbed by a family member - a very common occurence when trying for DEILDs lately - I obviously need to start waking up earlier!

In a boat, fishing with Dad. I get a fish on the hook, and can tell that it’s a big one as we pull it in. It’s so large that the fishing line almost cuts into my fingers as we hoist it up on board. I think we might take a picture of it, then Dad takes it off the hook for me and sets it down by the side of the boat (inside the boat) to set it free. The fish hops up and over the rail like a little dog and re-enters the water...

...Some people cross a stretch of water that is dangerous in some way. It seems that they are escaping somewhere or trying to enter somewhere that they aren’t supposed to be. An alarm goes off, either to alert people about this swimming, or to alert the swimmers that they are in danger, or both. The swimmers cross and go up the bank on the other side...

Note: water, boats, and fish are becoming common dream signs. Especially water. I don't know why I'm not catching these. Maybe my dream mind was doing something there by "catching" the fish.

Night 2 was a total bust. I've been ill but I'm getting better now so hopefully I can start pulling out some actual lucid dreams for this comp soon.

The dream was presented as a third person view of a space probe sent to land on jupiter. The probe entered orbit of the planet and dropped a lander with a heat shield. I remember having the presence of mind to think that "you cant land on jupiter, it's a gas giant!" but this didn't influence the course of the dream. The lander falls through the upper atmosphere and deploys a parachute at which point it begins to drift slowly downwards through layer after layer of clouds. The probe is a spherically shaped metal with eight green blinking lights that protrude from it as though they are corners of a cube.

The probe descends through the lowest layers where the clouds are illuminated by narrow bands of sunlight, it is almost pitch black. Then into another layer where things are illuminated only by flashes of lightning and there are huge tornadoes between the upper and lower cloud deck like columns. Then several more layers where it is too dark to see. Eventually it lands on the surface, which is made out of some type of crystals or ice granules with a light blue or grayish coloration. The dream narrator which has been describing technical details about the space probe including how it is able to survive the pressure and temperature changes exalts success.

I begin to think how cool it would be to go to a gas giant in a lucid dream and explore the surface. I then find that I am no longer an observer and have my body in first person and question how I am able to be here seemingly wearing nothing but shorts and a shirt. But there wasn't a conscious acknowledgement of the dream state. I start to wonder how this came to be and I wake up.

There was another convoluted yet boring and lengthy dream about driving. I am visiting my father who lives in a large house in a very flat farm field with a big garage. At some point I swerve off the road while getting on the freeway, though there is no damage to the car, it is still very stressful.

There is also a point where I stopped at a gas station/convenience store and went inside. They have a large supermarket freezer holding drinks typical of such places. But as I walk around it I notice it gets bigger. The glass doors on the freezer are three or four meters tall and there are huge shelving units holding giant sized food items, specifically refrigerated/frozen pizzas that are more than a meter across. I decide I want a bottle of nesquik chocolate milk but it disappears in my hand.

I am jogging along my old route in my old neighborhood. A snake is chasing me, it looks like a cobra. It hisses and bears its fangs. I continue running but it is slithering rather fast. I stop and opt to stomp on it to kill it. I tense myself and ready. It lunges at me and I jump in the air over it, stomping on its just behind the head with my right foot. The sudden motion carries into my waking body and I kick in bed and wake myself up.

A dream having something to do with ATLA. It was a directors commentary with mike and brian and some alternative scenes. Apparently it was an alternate timeline of the show. Aang and Katara were already a couple and they looked to be older, late teens. They met in a red room with fire nation trappings and were kissing a lot and talking about how they wanted to get married. It was then revealed that they built their house on the back of the lion turtle.

This took place in a city which was next to a coast line and the streets were water, kind of like Venice but there was water under the buildings too. I could see this dark tower moving over the tree lines. It was like a super old stone tower with multiple levels and it gets more narrow towards the top, there was cannons and castle like features. But this tower was probably 1000 feet tall and it was coming in on a boat. It dawned on me that we were being invaded by another country. There was bunches of these super detailed tower boats with all kinds of architecture. Some were legitimate skyscrapers just on a regular boat. It was very ominous feeling and the whole dream I was looking out the windows to see these things appearing. I walk to the other side of the building and directly infront of me a glass structure with golden panes was starting to protrude from the water. It came up at an angle and eventually stood up right but it was like all glass but the metal panes holding it together. It was a skycraper. I ran to a different area, and the scene turned to a naval battle at night. There was black clouds and fog all over, like walls of it that we could move around and hide to help with our defences. There was also crazy purple lightning in these cloud walls. I was warning my people and it starting turning into a 3rd person perspective/ wide angle view of everything and I woke up.

I think I'm going to make a painting of this,
