Went to bed around 1AM. Fragment I'm at the airport. My Grandma P, Uncle J, and brother are there to pick me up. I'm angry with them about something and I storm away with my bag, outside, and across the street. Zones I'm at a football game at my highschool field. It's nighttime, under the lights. A cheerleader girl bumps a microphone boom on the sideline and apologizes. Initially I'm on some bleachers on the endzone side of the field. DTP. There's a football game on a screen, and I see the cheerleader bump the boom and apologize exactly the same way. I'm in a bar that looks like a Pizza Hut with my girlfriend and my friend J. J is having a rough time from too much weed. The bartender looks like Ryan Reynolds and he is making us a series of strong looking drinks. The bartender also lays out some joints and calls them 'enchiladas'. I realize that I need to be able to drive home so I take it easy. There's another guy here (seems to know the bartender), and I'm concerned that if I get sick, he will try to get with my girlfriend. All recorded on waking around 8:30AM.

Went to bed around 1AM. Fragment I'm in a movie theater. Reminds me of IMAX. There is a group of people with me. Quest for Buried Treasure I'm on a quest. It feels like a video-game. There is a 2d sidescroller-styled 3d environment. Similar to Sonic Colors (which I've been watching gameplay of recently). It is a beach-like place, with beaches on the left and right sides, and ocean beyond. Sunny, of course. The land proceeds forward and I'm searching for buried treasure. I'm leading a group, and I've found the treasure before so they trust me to find it again. We find other treasures along the way, including equipable pink gear. Recorded on waking around 12PM.

Went to bed around 1AM. Pre-WBTB Fragment Brief impression of a Punch-Out-like video game. WBTB Ratio: 6hr/20m Supplements: None. Sleep Cycle: Semi-stable. I got up and walked outside of for a bit, doing plenty of reality checks. I try to make the entire time outside a reality check. I also review my dreamsign list, trying to commit the top 5 to memory. Post-WBTB The Vanishing Plant I'm walking around in my living room and I do a nose RC out of habit. To my surprise it fails and I become lucid. I remember that narration is supposed to help stabilization so I start talking out loud. "I'm rubbing my hands, I'm rubbing my feet, I'm walking." I think about what I should do next and consider taking a bite out of the kitchen table, but then decide against. It wasn't all that exciting last time I did that. I recall that my goal was to try and observe my dreamworld, to gain an understanding and hopefully a feel for the 'dreamlike'. I leave through the front door and go outside. It looks near identical to reality, sunny summer day, except there is a plant nearby that is missing the bottom. Like in a video game where a texture is missing. I note that daytime/sunny is one of the top dream signs, and wonder if there are more 'missing textures'. I also connect this missing texture idea to my top dreamsign which is 'video-games or inspired by a video game'. "I'm walking around, I'm observing the dreamworld, I'm rubbing my hands," I say outloud, attempting to stabilize again. I decide that I want to go somewhere more interesting, so I close my eyes and attempt to transform the scene into something else. I think vaguely about changing the season into fall or winter. I open my eyes with hope, but the scene only changes slightly. Objects have changed position, but no theme change. I recall flying through the neighborhood some more, but my lucidity fades. ... Later I'm in somebody else's house, lucid and looking around. There is a woman I don't recognize, vaguely Hispanic looking. "Is there a portal around here?" I ask. She replies in the negative. Despite this, I open a closet nearby and try to imagine a green swirly portal inside. Nope, just closet. ... I'm at a sleepover at work with my coworker JM. Apparently we have to sleep there because there is a test we are running. We have sleeping bags setup on the production floor. I feel as sense of awkwardness because there are people around us working and I wonder if I should be doing the same. Recorded on waking at 9:15AM. Notes I'm going to start a series of 4 tests for the 6hr/20m/none configuration with this being #1. Initial impression is my control and dream length were lesser compared to 6hr/10m/8mgGal (Galantamine). This could be unrelated to the configs, and due to the currently only semi-stable sleep cycle. I want to test whether galantamine is needed for more vivid dreams, and also if my 10m WBTB wake time is limiting my lucid dream experience. I know that changing multiple variables at once isn't the best science (but I intend to test more configurations later). General guidance for WBTB seems to recommend much longer than 10m, so I perceive a likely improvement by making it longer, hence earlier testing of this configuration.

I'm in a field and something begins to feel...dreamlike. "This is a dream"...my awareness raises and I'm lucid. I see a large beautiful tree in the distance in the field and fly toward it. It's glowing with a slightly purple hue in the night. I raise up and begin imagining my dragon. I look down and see a red figure, a wild creature I recognize as the dragon. It makes a high pitched sound, a cross between a roar and a purr as it looks up at me. I wonder for a second if it may be hostile, and I cross my arms, causing invincibility. My worry about its hostility dissipates quickly. It begins to run across the field and I follow. It looks up again, doing it high pitched roar once more, followed by another period of running. I let it be, and head farther down the field toward a house in the distance. I notice two entry points: one to the right which appears to have many people celebrating inside and another directly in front of me, which has small door propped open. I head to the ajar door in front of me, light spilling out into the night, into what appears to be a vacant section of the home. I enter and decide to go invisible. I stick a finger up rather than snapping, yet it seems to work as a male dream character sitting in a seat simply looks right through me. I find it funny that this technique worked. I wind to the left and farther into the house. I notice two DCs up ahead and enter the room invisible. I enter the back room which is quite small and square, with wooden walls. Only one DC is inside, I turn around heading back from where I came and decide I don't need to be invisible. I raise up in the small adjoining room, toward the vaulted ceiling, lowering my invisibility. I head into another room and the two male DCs begin to notice me. It's a kitchen type area with an island counter in the middle. I see some small Halloween pumpkins on a low shelf on the far side of the room. I decide to start exploring and open cabinets as the DCs tag along. I open up on large cabinet to the right which is essentially a spice cabinet. I'm not interested. I turn around and open up some upper cabinets on the other side of the room. I find some large buns, appearing like trolly buns, in a box and remove two, beginning to eat one. It's really good! I then find some Chips Ahoy cookies as well Rice Crispies and I open the box of the latter. I begin talking to the DCs. "What is it like to be a dream character here?" - meaning in the dream. Boys: "Nothing special...we just do our own thing." I begin to leave the room. "What should I do next guys?" I wake up.

Went to bed around 12AM. AI Dream Augmenter I'm in bed telling S about a dream I just had. I have recorded it on my phone through voice, and an AI program augments it with video and sound. It's playing an anime-esque intro about me as a ninja. I think it is hilarious and cant wait to record more dream with it. Game Night I'm at my current home, though it is mixed with my parent's house from northern Michigan. We are sitting by the doorwall on the ground ready to play a board game. It might have been snowing outside. D, my brother, and my sister were among the group. Some of my sister's friends may have been there too. D is standing nearby with a big bowl of goldfish crackers. The game pieces are mixed with another game. There are red, white, and off-white. The game was Risk. My sister says they were playing something last night, to explain why they are mixed up. We start to unsort the pieces. Grandma's Mafia I'm at a mixture of my Grandma P's past houses. This one feels more like a compound. Currently upstairs in the guest room getting ready for a shower. My Uncle J calls for me before I can get in. ... I'm out on the patio. It's sunny. There is a wooden file organizer, and there are dollars sorted into smaller sections of it. I think I see a $1000 bill. A black lanky man approaches and I'm worried he'll attack me. Turns out he's just here for payment. I now 'know' the backstory that my Grandma P runs some mafia operation. I direct the man to my Grandma, because I don't know how to pay him. My Grandma P shows up, gives him some money and walks him out. My brother and sister are here now. My Grandma P gives me a see-thru golden ball, and there is a sudden urgency to deliver it to a safety shed nearby. I run to the shed, make it past a closing metal door, then a sharp turn inside, and another timed door. Shed is barren and musty, but more brown and orange hues from the sun bleeding through. There is a conveyer belt running through the shed, but it goes through a wall. There is a tiny opening to the room where the ball needs to go, but I can't fit. ... I'm out in the yard below the patio with my brother and my sister. We're talking about the big reveal that Grandma has been a mafia boss this whole time, and Uncle J too. It has been generational too. We talk about that and look at the muddy yard in front of us where some kids are throwing footballs around. I reach a troubling conclusion that this mafia info explains my Mom's death, and that she had been innocent. I see here briefly as a ghost, and she seems relieved that I understand. I'm hit with an intense sadness and I fall to the ground for a minute. My sister notices and asks if I'm OK. I lie, saying everything is fine, and move along. We reach the underside of the patio and enter a garden area. I'm carrying some garden wireframes of dogs. Grandma P is there, and she shrugs off our concerns about the situation, as if we disapproved of her new bingo meetup or something of similar caliber. We move up the stairs leading to the patio deck, and I hear an incessant bee or bug buzzing at my ear. I start slapping my arm at it, not wanting to be stung. All recalled/recorded on waking around 9AM.

1. Into The Water (LD) My awareness begins to raise and I realize that a dream seems to be forming. I notice a faucet appearing in front of me and become lucid. A mirror soon appears behind it. I phase into the mirror, then step right back out. I begin to explore the neighboring area behind me and see that it’s essentially a long room, extending about ten meters to the left and twenty to the right. There’s a desk with some materials on the left side and a lounge are on the right. The room appears to be on the second or third level of a large building. I ignore this area and float outside through the window into the night. I descend onto a lower level walkway that’s situated on the edge of a body of water. Across the water, several small structures are situated, windows glowing orange in the dim light. I decide to fly across, yet as I start the dream drags me down into the water. I try to play around with the control by telling myself I can’t fly, curious as to the effects. The dream continues to keep me in the water. I swim a bit farther, then wake up. 2. Blowing Fire (LD) I begin to re-enter the room with a bottle of rubbing alcohol and I suddenly realize I’m in a dream. I say “I’m in a lucid dream”. I enter the room, hold up a flame and spit the rubbing alcohol into the flame, showing the students in the room. There is a wispy white visual of flame. I head toward nearby cabinets and begin to rub to engage tactile sense. I say “this is a dream”. I leave this area and head to my bedroom in Meadow, running. I lose lucidity.
Went to bed around 11:30. The Hallway Theater I'm at my highschool between the P building and S building. It's snowing outside. I'm running late to English class. I'm concerned that I will be reprimanded for reading Harry Potter for my assignment because I have already read it. I reason that the choice is valid because my perspective will be different. I've gone through a lot of growth since the last time I've read it, political stance and puberty among those changes. ... I'm in an upstairs hallway that resembles S building, but it is much more narrow. Still running late to class. Hilary Clinton, wearing a blue suit, is power-walking behind me. I slow down and let her pass by, wanting to avoid an interaction. This tactic succeeds and I reach a dark section of the hallway. There are three rows of seats, split into two sections. It's some kind of Hallway Theater. My classmates are there so I sit down at the left section near the back. My friend D and a girl run by and I hear them say something indicating they are running late. "Ya'll need to get it together!" I say as they speed by. I get some laughs from the class for this. "Those are my best friends," I tell them, wanting to show I wasn't bullying random people. A couple people I was friends with in highschool (underclassmen from my senior year combination rackets class) S and possibly J, look back at me. I'm concerned that they are upset because I specified others as my 'best' friends, but they appear content. ... We're still in the Hallway Theater, but now there are VR headsets hanging from the ceiling. Classmates are putting them on so I do the same. There is a floating UI option for lives, and I set it to zero. It applies to the entire class. A pong game begins within a shared AR space, and somebody gets scored on. That person dies. Fear spreads and everyone starts taking the headsets off. Not wanting to allow anyone else to be killed by game, one person is ordered to keep playing so that nobody else gets scored on. ... Kris, Suzie, and Ralsei from Deltarune are in a VR-generated forest environment. The trees are massive and reach to the heavens. I'm playing this game as Kris. I think D and the girl may have been the other two. We are exploring as a team, and trying to eliminate other players. I set up an ambush and direct my team to sneak nearby. I creep my neck past a branch we are standing on and see two tanks. The tanks are the opposing players' avatars. I spring into action, and appropriate battle music plays. I transform into a woman in a military uniform wearing a beret and open fire on the tanks. Recorded around 8:30AM on waking.

I dream that I am living with a family in an apartment on top of a big theatre/convention center. I exit the apartment and explore the theatre where everyone working there applauds for me; doormen, wardrobe workers, visitors, etc. my German family is there as well as it takes place im Berlin, It's raining and I start sprinting around the building in laps at a decent tempo, during each lap, someone joins me and we greet each other as we go around, during each lap they all grow and develop, for example one of the guys does the sprint on a unicycle. In the meantime, I'm still the same. Someone asks about my growth and then says it because they're following my journey as a rockstar. The music in the background then has someone grunt in metal style saying "that is a rockstar" as well as inaudible words repeatedly with a guitar riff in the background as some sort of intro. That's when I woke up!
1. Chocolate Chips (LD) I’m driving down the street in Meadow and suddenly realize I’m dreaming I jump out the window and begin flying upward a bit. I shout “Clarity now!” to increase dream vividness. I then begin humming the song “Sapient Dream” by Slushii. I fly a bit farther in instantly teleport to Syrano. I’m in the bedroom of the main house looking at my dreamcatcher. I head into the kitchen area and begin to shout “clarity now!” and feel my surroundings as the dream is a bit hazy. I make my way to the kitchen area and see if I can turn on a light to increase the lighting, it seems to work very slightly, but not as much as I’d hoped. I consider getting some chocolate to eat and go into the fridge. I don’t find any chocolate in the usual pull-out drawer, so I simply look in the main compartment and find a big bag of chocolate chips. I grab a big handful, pour a bunch in my mouth, and begin chewing – it tastes great! I feel that my mouth is super full and wonder if I’m picking up on anything from my waking body. I head to the main hallway and the dream feels a bit unstable. I continue to chew to see if that’ll stabilize further. I wake up. 2. Mass Telekinesis Fun (LD) I’m at the counter in Syrano looking at my gym bag. This feels…dreamlike…I turn around and I’m lucid. I shout “clarity” as I feel that I have something over my eyes and the dream feels dim. I make my way to the lanai, heading through the glass and begin feeling the walls and nearby ledge to stabilize – it feels extremely realistic. The dream goes to void for a moment and I decide to visualize some palm trees. I instantly appear in a vivd parking lot with two palm trees in front of me. There are several cars and SUVs parked in the spaces in front of me. There are many large buildings behind them, comprising what appears to be a condo and apartment building complex.I begin considering what I want to do and fly upward transforming into a bird. I fly around the area, carving to the left a bit. I land and decide to practice some telekinesis. At first it doesn’t seem like the large building I’m attempting to raise goes up at all, but then I notice it budge. I remind myself it’s all my mind. I stick out my hand and move it up greatly. I then stick out my arm at various large buildings, flicking them many meters into the air with ease. I go down the row of buildings of various sizes, tossing them into the air and laughing. I head farther down the street and think of other dream control. I begin imagining conjuring a fireball between my hands at my side and casting a fireball. I try this a couple of times along with fire blast, yet only get faint red visuals at the door of a distant house. I head around a curve to the left and clamp my hands to freeze time. It feels as though it worked on the dream scene, but there are no DCs to verify. I wake up.
I'm downstairs Syrano in the dark. I scan the room and see dad in the far left. It just doesn’t make sense – I’m lucid. I consider what to do and think of practicing some control I float up a few feet, then transform into a bird. I notice myself shrinking and I slowly lower to the ground. I lose lucidity.
Went to bed around 11PM. Memory Storage I'm with my girlfriend S. We're in a long hallway. Seems like a hospital. Sterile. Clean. There are bodies in metal drawers all the way up and down the hall. I can see some feet sticking out. S goes to one of the drawers and opens it. There is a small paper cartoon person standing inside. I feel some relief for finding this paper person. Recalled on waking around 7AM.
Went to bed at ??? Purgatory Island I'm on an island in a Harry Potter game. Lots of grey colors. Feels isolated and alone. 3rd person view. Playing as a man in a bowler hat. Like Wayne from Mistborn. There is a water-logged cave up ahead. Recalled from early morning.
