Anticlimax after the badass lucids I got midway through the comp, but oh well.

Me, and some friends of mine were in a weird looking house. A relative of mine was there too. Started with me and some guy working outdoors. But this guy was an irritating shithead and I walked out on him. Went to the PC to play a game. It was kinda like doom, and I streamed it in omnilucid vc. There was a water level, a lava level and a poison level. I chose the lava level cause it was fun. After I was done playing, I saw some nsfw stuff. I gave up halfway through and my relative sits down on the couch and proceeds to make fun of me for a bunch of old shit. I maturely responded and she pulled out a tv from a big box of stuff from my house. We watched the news and oh my god. Gorillaz collaborated with Nintendo to support Smash bros. GORILLAZ WERE COMING TO SMASH! I hyped it up to everyone who were equally excited. My brother in law was excited for another possible Gorillaz Movie and I agreed. After some more hype I woke up

3-15-23 - Comp day 14 (terrible recall - every time I woke up I started to think about my mom freezing to death in her house with no heat - wasn't able to contact her - too worried about my mom being without power in CA) (update: she is fine Now four hours later, I worked on remembering...but it's still terrible recall today.

The dream with my hair that extra crazy piece which was super long tangled and wild that attached to my own hair

Looking or shopping for clothes again

Cooking something or baking something for a party with another FDC

The police that pulled us over, FDC poured out some beer? Then tossed the cup out onto the side of the road. I thought that was horrible. The police guy came up and over and was looking at some part of a trailer we had behind us. He was drawing some type of flower with a black marker. Lots of leaves. (1000 petal lotus?) Not sure

M and R - going out and doing something with other DC’s, R not feeling well and was home in bed.

5 Dream Frags - 2.5 points

Ignoring Work and the Jungle
I'm at my desk at work. My coworker D is sitting next to me explaining something. Others nearby are listening intently, but I decide that it isn't important and ignore him. I tell him that. He thinks it is funny. No hard feelings. Dream feels lighthearted.

Fragment
I recall a muggy jungle with maybe some drizzle but not much else.

Potential Influencing Factors:
Exercise - 1 hour of walking.
Meditation - About 15 minutes of visualization.
Diet - Ate heavy meal at Panda Express.

I was at my friend K's house, sitting in the living room where we used to hang out. Her dog had died (it died years ago IRL) and she was mourning that she wasn't able to be with her in her last moments. I was crying with her as we put her dog into a small wooden coffin with a bronze cross on it.

...

Later, the dog plot is over and we are just sitting and talking. The dream is semi-lucid and we are talking in the pretense that we are in a shared dream.

"You know I always liked you and dropped lots of hints but you never took our relationship to the next level." (Huh boy here we go with THIS plot again.)

"Because I only liked you as a friend." I responded. "And I don't like this game playing dropping hints and making moves game. Love is love and if you feel something you should openly tell someone and not subscribe to societal conventions. Life is short..." I gestured outside to where we buried the dog. "Too short to be playing games with other peoples feelings."

She kind of bounces in her seat like an impatient toddler and clenches her fists. Kind of acting immature in that manner where you are self aware that you are acting immature and could actually be more mature about the subject if you wanted to.

"But thats not FAIIRRRR!!!" During this time the dream scene changes to the park in front of my current home, though the sofa she is sitting on remains as-is. She fades into the background. There is a large wooden open pavilion with a concrete floor and picnic tables under it. Some DCs are in there. There are about ten of them, all late teens/YA. One of them is a boy with wavy hair not wearing a shirt. I stop and have an interaction with them. The shirtless boy is kind of a jerk. Some of the other DCs feel like combinations or reinterpretations of kids from the neighborhood I grew up in.

K comes back into the scene though she now seems like a combination of K and C. "You're such a hypocritical ass." She says ass in a really vitriolic way like she wants it to hurt my feelings though it doesn't affect me. "You don't think about what I want. You won't be the person I want you to be and you won't be with me because you'd rather be with-" She says the word like a bug flew into her mouth. "Manei."

"HEY!" Manei shouts from over my shoulder very loud. I think to myself, 'wow she almost scared me awake. Wait... if I can be scared awake, that means I am dreaming.'

"Hade is this girl bothering you?"

"Yes."

She walks over to the K/C hybrid DC and is maybe a head and a half taller than her. The K/C hybrid charges at her and starts punching manei in the chest and stomach but she doesn't even flinch or respond. She picks up the DC, who is wearing a white tank top, by the sort of front collar/chest area and lifts her up with one arm fully extended (the K/C hybrid is still flailing around like a rabid animal) and looks at her like she is something she scraped off the bottom of her shoe for a second, then her expression mellows.

"No Violencia aqui, por favor. Es un tiempo wake up."

Then overhand throws her so hard she goes flying off in the sky. The physics don't really work out as she floats away rather slowly at first, tumbling through the air upwards at about a 45 degree angle at maybe 20-30kph and then starts to gradually speed up as she gets further away. She disappears in the sky with a 'ding' and a shimmer of light like when team rocket blasts off.

"That was in-appropriate. Nobody else do that or I will 'yeet' you also." She says to the other DCs who all scatter and run away. One of them climbs over a picnic table and his leg gets stuck causing him to faceplant on the concrete in a quite comical way. Manei says something else about the lucid dreaming competition being pointless and that it is time for me to wake up.

I took a nap and woke up with abou one hour and 45 minutes left on the clock for the comp in my timezone. Wasn't trying to get a miracle but might as well log the extra points (the dreams were funny).

Spoiler for cw: masturbation:

Anyways I was at my old childhood home and this family shows up at the door with a present for me. I unwrap it and its a large yellow cylinder maybe 30cm in diameter and 150-170cm tall. It has a siren on top and a big red button. It's labeled in big bold red letters "masturbation station". The father of the family shows me that when you press the button the top, the siren on top goes off for a few seconds and then the top unfolds into a wide flat bed/table and a sort of robot arm comes out and idles near you. It has textured black rubber grippers and the hand is sort of shaped to... well... help you out. It also has a dispenser for tissues and lotion as well as very detailed instructions painted on a little panel that comes up on the side of the bed showing what positions to get into. He then lets slide that he "worked hard to clean it up and repair it because it was heavily used."

At first I was thinking this is sort of a funny joke present and laughed along with them as the family's son who was about 12 couldn't stop giggling. My grandparents were there and my grandmother was looking at the scene like "what the fuck" but my grandfather was filming and trying very hard not to laugh. But my attitude completely shifts the moment he mentions that somebody has really been beating their meat for years using this thing. I say that it feels like getting someone elses used underwear... sure it was put through the wash three times in a row, but it was still used underwear. They seem to understand that I'm not being rude and maybe put off by that part. I am also thinking that when the plastic bed folds out it folds out on one side, but the thing doesn't have a wide base and even if its bottom heavy, it would fall over if you slept on it, which reinforces the idea that this is a joke product and not meant for actual use.

I am with Manei, semi lucid. We are shopping at an old-style grocery store because we are going to prepare a meal together. I note it is a smaller store not like a superstore in america and the product brands are all weird ones I've never seen before. I am looking through wooden bins of fruit and find a large orange. I comment to Manei how "In most parts of the world, people cannot ever get an orange, or its very rare because it has to be imported. It's important to appreciate how amazing it is we can try foods from all over the world." She seems to agree.

The scene changes when we leave the grocery store. It is late in the evening, the sun is going down but there is still some twilight and we are walking in the parking lot. It is very similar to the parking lot of the store in my old hometown but feels smaller and many of the buildings and streets are different. I specifically remember the five-lane stroad intersection being replaced with a two lane intersection. We get to Manei's car (which pretty consistently has been some kind of black sports car convertible for years, but I think she also has a green sort of offroad jeep type thing.) Someone has keyed her car all the way down the driver's side.

"It was probably the angry DC you yeeted last night-wait..."

I remember waking up and being in limbo for a second. I was going to mention to her that she could "look at the scratch, look away and look back" and if she expected it to be gone, it would go away.

In this night I memoriaied 3 dreams but I forgot them very fast. But I made WBTB (failed as usual) and I got 1 more dream:
I was playing in card game, pretty similar to "Duel Master". I recognized that I have so good deck so I can beat enemy in one turn. I wanted to test that on my friend but he made unexpected move that make my strategy invalid. I asked him for undo his move and he agree. I took my cards and I started shuffle them.

Cat kingdom? I can’t fight them.
I am talking to someone in my room. Become lucid while getting up because nobody should be there and then teleport over to a new planet. Prepare to leave because the place looks boring but Scan tells me people are trying to fight off an unknown enemy and this gets me hooked.
Instead of leaving, start helping humans to search for this enemy. Stop Scan so that I can also enjoy the whole experience; start talking to different DCs as they all seem worried about it.
Get enough information about some kind of conference that will be held where this unknown enemy will be giving their demands and so plan to join it in on the conference, in the meantime go purchase some food, a cake and some bread and eat it before waking up.
Back to sleep.

I am home, become lucid while walking out and then teleport back to the other world. Not much that I can do as of right now since it is still some time before the conference. So instead go over to a hotel, create coins before entering on my hand and then enter and pay for one night.
The place is… not the best place. Its half destroyed, the bathroom was disgusting, filled with poop everywhere and it wasn’t a pleasantry to get things done in there so just teleported that stuff out of my way and cleaned a bit by using water control and then just forcefully flushing.
Go outside again, create more money on my hands and go eat at a restaurant and while eating there ask the waiter at what time the whole thing will start, that is when he lets me know… it won’t be until next week I read the papers wrong damn!
Back to sleep.
I am home, checking something online. Become lucid, close down all of the browsers and then teleport back. I am annoyed and as such don’t want to wait.
So what I do is go to the place where the conference is going to be held, control time and make it be 1 week later by fast forwarding the life on the planet.
People sit next to me, fast forward again time to avoid the talk and then before they finish get back again, talk a bit with the people next to me, telling them how I will be protecting the planet and what not.
Next thing I know is I see the head of the presenter fly up into the ceiling of the theatre. People start screaming and something comes rushing at me in ninja clothes, small… fluffy! I stop its pointy weapon with my fingers and then raise my other hand to block claws, a ninja cat.
Ok, there is no possible way I will be fighting and killing them. Some people see I can obviously react in time and defeat them and start screaming at me to do something, I do. Create a wind wall behind me as a kitty tries to stab my neck and then push him out of the way. Once I am done with pushing the kitty out of the way make myself ethereal and start phasing through everything and watching them how they start taking out humanity. Some humans hide and try to be sneaky, but kitties end up finding and killing them. Wake up before finishing the whole thing but that’s ok.

I can't even tell whether I was asleep at the first "dream" or just half asleep "daydreaming" just being relaxed enough to vividly see my thoughts as I was relaxed enough.

First dream I was meeting up with an alt girl named Hotdogs and we went to my apartment.

In the second dream, I dreamed about having apparently finished an entire song a recording a music video for it. The song in question was mainu sun 找路 by the Taiwanese artist ABAO. The music video in my dream was then uploaded to a YouTube channel, but they had credited the artist under a different name and featured a married artist duo whom had no idea that their song just got leaked.
It wasn't my song after all, it was theirs.
I then woke up.

What I'm surprised about the most is that I was able to unconsciously remember the entire mainu sun 找路 song as a whole as it's performed in indigenous Taiwanese.

I moved to a new apartment in Berlin that has a super comfy bed, but I have not yet found a comfortable sleeping position as well as a healthy sleep schedule in general which is why I haven't really had any interesting dreams yet but rather half asleep dream remnants. My alarm is set to go off in an hour, but I don't even know if I have any sleep left.

On the bright side, my new full-time job starts today, which means I finally start to have a routine again after three years which will guarantee me going to bed earlier due to all contact and exhaustion, gotta love capitalism innit.

idk why the girl's name was hotdogs either
I should also mention that this dream was surprisingly in English with Dutch names and characters. I never mention language on here, but most of my dreams are usually in Dutch with some exceptions. But now that I'm in Berlin that might change to dreaming in English and German.

2 dreams. Fun ones.

Dream 1: It all started with GTA 5. I was playing as a character that basically has cancer, but I need a chemical every few minutes to not die. I was doing a Heist with Mike and Franklin, getting these rich idiots’ cars and money from their homes. It was surprisingly complicated. Turns out though when we made it there, Lester was working there and I had to blow up lester as well. Crazy.

Dream 2: I was the same Cancer Man as last dream. Only this time I was at a friend's house. I found this app that worked double for VR. Had headphones to go with it too. The app was a fantasy simulator, that I oddly recall perfectly from before but don’t know where it is. It was average medieval fantasy stuff, but I had a slime girlfriend that I spent time with. In the house, we played piano and fought demons from the game. It was genuinely fun. Later on, I drove to a therapist and for some reason the slime girl was there with me, along with a relative. I had a really old iPad of mine from 2011, and nostalgia hit me. Then I woke up.

Dang the time has flown by. Anyway.

- Dream that I was writing in my dream journal. I NEED to do reality checks every time I write in that thing to check for false awakenings. -_- (0.5 points)
- I was in my paracosm, but it got weird. There was a contraption hanging off of a cliff at the edge of "the Grand Canyon" (but upon waking, it was definitely not the grand canyon), used to transport laundry...For some reason. And I accidentally dropped some laundry using the contraption, all the way at the bottom of the canyon. D: I was mad at my dad especially because there were ants all over our stuff (probably due to outdoor laundry), and then (sorry this is SO, SO gross) I had ticks crawling and laying eggs on my foot (I felt this sensation still as I woke up, but there was nothing there). I had to smash them. Like man, my brain knows I hate insects and it does this to me anyway. .______. (1 point)

I had some non lucid dream that went on for awhile. The dream was at what was supposed to be a ski resort, though it felt like it was also a mixture of the lake at my aunt's vacation home in michigan and somewhere with snow-capped mountian like mt. fiji. I remember getting onto a flying ski lift chair and going very fast across the entire region to a big ski lodge resort building. Then feeling lost, and realizing I didn't have my phone, wallet, keys or any other personal belongings and couldn't remember how I'd gotten here. There was a lot of faffing about and general anxiety in a pretty discoherent manner.

At some point I got to a low level of lucidity. Manei and Madmonkey's guide, Juliana appeared. I remember Manei was wearing a black kimono with pink flowers. Juliana had a wooden magic wand, red and gold scarf and round glasses like harry potter. The two stated the intent to do a procedure on me to purge negative aspects of myself that were holding me down. They explained that everything in a dream is a projection of myself, but that negative aspects sometimes hide internally and need to be separated out into a separate entity in the dream world and then dealt with. Juliana waived a wand and a little point of light appeared out of it.

All of this brownish dust began moving out of my body, creating a really interesting sensation. It flowed out of me in streams and forms together into a humanoid form. Its sort of made out of twisted, warped petrified wood like material and flies around on fire jets like I do though it does not make blue fire on its right side. It also expands in size to... I don't know fifty or a hundred meters. It gets really big. The being also doesn't really have fingers or toes, its limbs just split apart into clusters of forking branches like tree roots. The being's head is made of cloth and inflated. Its head is an orange a hot air balloon made to look like a jack-o-lantern. But the face is animated and can change.

The being laughs in a cartoony deep evil demon voice and boasts that it is free of me and will now enact destruction. Manei then summons her malachite sword and launches into the air, crossing the distance almost instantly. She is in the narrow area where the balloon head is secured to the wood body and makes one circular cut all the way around, cutting 8 or so ropes. The being is defeated, its limp body falls into the lake and splashes down, and the jack o lantern balloon head seems to deflate but also floats upwards.

At my grandmother's house. Thinking about how it is always summer in my dreams but a cold March in reality. I want to go out to check the garden. There is a guarding girl who doesn't want to let me out, I tell her that I have to go to school in half an hour anyway and she lets me go.
I am in car with R. or maybe someone else, he takes a wrong turn and I am mad at him. I end up next to a mall with a group of schoolmates and I don't like it because I actually wanted to go to school. They want to go drinking. We argue in a small snack bar, right next to a railing of a mall atrium, several floors high. I say something bad to one of my schoolmates, Honza, a strong guy who weighs much more than I do. He gets mad and attempts to push me over the railing. We're struggling and the railing collapses. Seeing that I can't prevent the fall, I cling to him and take him with me. The dreams end before the fall actually happens, with us floating in the air.

Waking up disliking the ending because earlier this night, I was thinking that I would like to fly again or jump from a height. I reimagine the feeling of floating in the air and successfully DEILD back.

Falling. I slow the fall to levitation and land elegantly in a pirouette-like pose. I look for Honza and he's falling separately from me (and later than me, how convenient). I sent a rough burst of energy his way (this is like unaimed telekinesis, I am not counting it as a separate dream control because it works the same way), he bounces off it before reaching the ground like falling in an invisible trampoline, which gains me time and I catch him in more precise telekinesis and lower him slowly to the ground.
Together with my schoolmates again, I want to eat something and there is a supermarket with cash registers right next to us. There is a woman paying for her shopping and putting it in her bag. I see a truss of tomatoes there, take them (she ignores me) and put one in my mouth. I give the rest of the truss to my friends.
The tomato is awesome. Not really summer levels awesome but tasty and juicy. The sensation of eating it, including the juices bursting in my mouth and the texture of the seeds is so vivid and realistic that it makes me extremely happy. I want to share my happiness with one of my friends but she goes away and I quickly lose sight of her.
I decide to move on the 3-step tasks. The plan is to summon a potion and drink it. I check my pockets and find a bunch of thread spools but no potion.
I walk up stairs of a road overpass that should take me back to the higher floors of the mall because I am in the mood for more flying. On the way there, I also check the pockets of my cardigan and find two bottles there but they are lip gloss, not potions. I try to put it on my lips and it is extremely slimy. The bottle also leaks and the stuff spills everywhere.
I wake up, consider another DEILD attempt but decide to journal the dream instead.
