    1. 2023 Spring Comp Night 4: Robot Fight and Almost-Lucid

      by , 03-05-2023 at 10:11 PM (Lucid Time!)
      Two robots are fighting in an open grassy field surrounded by trees. One is a sort of spider-like design and the other is a big box on a unicycle with arms (like Claptrap from borderlands). Both bots are smaller than a human, maybe laborador sized. Both appear to be new and have white paint jobs with blue stripes and detailing. They are flailing around very fast trying to shove these chips/flash drives into each others access ports to change the programming of the opposing bot.

      The dream shows a slow motion of the spider-like robot being successful. It has more arms and in this fight it is given an unfair advantage The slow motion is from the robot's point of view showing that its winning move happens in a matter of miliseconds when it manages to swat away the other robot's arms and then shove the microchip into the other robots slot. A compartment on the claptrap robot opens up and a large spherical sort of energy core falls out. It is glowing with an intense bluish light.

      I am drawn into the light and emerge on the far side.
      While I am not lucid, or operating at a very low/unclear layer of lucidity. I am told by the dream narrator that this is the dream wonderland that I have been trying to create. They explain that it exists now in the quantum realm inside the power core of the robot now. (This is somehow like the quantum realm in the new Ant-Man movie) The narrator also explains that changes have been made to nuclear physics and that larger atomic nuclei are now able stable on this universal plane and the number of stable elements possible is roughly double what it is in the real world.

      I remember standing on the surface of the water which is mirror still. I am with Manei and when we walk around we create small ripples. I see several small islands around us and the foliage appears to be dark purple or black (a feature of the wonderland that I have been working on). Manei points out that the sky doesn't change colors when the sun sets. It is presently a sort of twilight with the sun on the horizon. (Only one sun, ofc the other could have been below the horizon). But the sky doesn't turn orange and yellow, it just becomes darker blue when the sun sets. To that I respond.

      "Oh thats a glitch because I haven't added that feature yet. Can you please do it, I am sure you will make the sunsets beautiful."


      Lost the dream there.

      Not giving myself points for lucid. While it had lucid dream elements, I wouldn't honestly say I was properly aware of the dream state.

    3. Never Trust France (Comp day 3)

      by , 03-05-2023 at 05:45 PM
      I had superpowers. I was a superweapon made in France. I could fly, had super strength, and telekinesis. I think I got arrested at some point because I started to follow my mom's orders and not those of the French government but I simply broke out. Eventually got to my house IRL and passed out in the bed, waking up in real life.

    4. Comp Day 4

      by , 03-05-2023 at 05:03 PM
      3-5-23 Comp Day 4 (WBTB - Failed) I think I tried too hard last night. I even wrote and filled up a full page of intent, that I would without doubt have a lucid dream. I wrote out exactly what I was going to do and wrote it with perhaps too much confidence. Hahahaha I know I had many other dreams and just couldn’t grab onto them before falling back to sleep each time I woke up.

      DF#1 flying in circles in the air with another DC; we were connected to each other by some sort of straps that had a long enough lead on them and it allowed us to circle around in the air. First I would go, then they would go. It was a fun feeling; similar to flying but instead could only do circles.

      D#2 I was walking next to a big rig which was backing up into a sandy area. He got stuck and his tires were horizontal, not vertical and were buried under the sand. I was next to it and pushed up against some dense juniper trees. I had the feeling if the truck moved again I'd be squashed. But I got out of there before he started moving again. I was making my way to a place I could sit and write. I wandered into an old hotel. Nobody was around so I opened one of the doors to a room. Nothing was in the room; it had carpet and no furniture and one window. It had a hole in the wall and a striped cat came out of the hole then walked across the room to the back wall where it went out a small gap space under the wall to the outside. I had a book with me and I was writing something. At one point I saw some paper fliers, on these paper fliers were animated women in red. The woman in red was modeling and she would open up her red dress or coat as if to flash herself, but she had other clothes on. She turned and did the flash again and again, each time a new outfit. I thought it was a great idea for an animated paper photo and thought about how or what kind of technology did that. As it was not connected to any computer device. I continued to write. Too bad I can’t remember what I was writing; it seemed profound in some way. I tore each sentence from the paper and ended up with strips of paper. I was gathering stuff to get ready to do and I had more there than I thought. I had this book which had a dust cover. The dust cover was 5 times larger than it should have been. I have to fold and fold and fold it till I could get it small enough to fit the book. I had all those torn pieces of paper I had to include and closed the book. I was looking around in the room and I had my IRL green rocker recliner chair there. Ugh…how did that even get there I thought. There was no way I could take that out with me. I left it behind. Before I left, that cat came back in. It walked back over to the hole in the wall. I didn’t interact with it. I opened the door and walked out. There was a lady in light blue and she was standing behind a desk right next to the door I came out of. I looked at her face but just for a moment and then kept walking out of the lobby then out the front door. I was now walking fast across a huge parking area with no cars. Further out there was another parking area. I didn’t remember coming in a car, but I was heading that direction as if my car was over there. The ground was sandy, I got far enough away from the building that I knew I couldn’t see it anymore, so I turned around and saw the lady in blue following me. She had a camera and was trying to get me on video. I put my book up to cover my face and told her to stop videotaping me. Then I thought I’d just tell her I was there just writing. She didn’t want to hear about why I was there. She just wanted to capture my face on video so that they would be able to perform face recognition and know who I was. I was sort of afraid of getting into trouble; but I also thought, well how much trouble could get into, I was only writing in that room but then I thought, Oh but I did leave behind that chair. I turned again to run away fast from her and attempt to hide behind a big old dumpster, I went around it and was hoping to lose her. But she was smart enough to know what I was doing and met me right there at the other side of the dumpster. She had the camera up in my face and said, there, I got you. She got me on video and she turned away and walked back.

    5. Spring Competition 2023 - 05.03.23

      by , 03-05-2023 at 10:56 AM
      Today I slept only 4h but i'm sure I will sleep more today. Also I reminded dream from yesterday, but right now is only a fragment.

      Dream from yesterday:
      I was in jail as prisoner but I don't remember why I got jailed. My cell was very tight and I was closed with 5-6 other persons. For some reasons guards left the cell open so I could just go somewhere and I did it. I wanted go to toiled but I got lost. after few minutes of walking the guard found me and he thought that I escaped. I tried to explain him that I just go to toilet but he didn't believed me :/

      Dream Fragment #1
      I was near my home in middle of the night. I went in direction of my favorite market.

      Dream Fragment #2
      I was on submarine and we had some minor leakage. I spent few minutes on reparing hull.

      Dream fragment #3
      I was in my sister's flat (it is false memory - my sister in real life is living in different place). I fed her cat and went on walk. It was middle of night. In entire dream I didn't met any person nor animal (excluding that cat). My dream was completly empty. Empty roads without any car, no sounds, no DC. I was alone

    6. I was going to go to bed, but I forgot to write this, so... (Spring competition day 3)

      by , 03-05-2023 at 07:13 AM (Awake to take in the view...)
      I have to get up annoyingly early on Sundays possibly for the rest of the year, which really sucks...I don't get any sleep-in days at all right now. It really screws up my LDs. Sat night / Sun morning are supposed to be the best days for me.

      The world probably won't end if I'm late tomorrow though so I might just sleep in anyway, since it's not urgent or work related or anything. I had some really cool experiences last summer with dream chaining sleeping upwards of 9 hours a night on Saturday nights/Sunday mornings...really want to try chaining again, even if it's just 8.5 hours of sleep.

      - I had a dream that I was playing Wordle. I do this every morning IRL lol. (0.5 points)
      - My friend, my brother, and I were all going through this ride/maze thing. My friend went through. Then, my brother talked to me and said that the "moon rooms" were designed to look very desolate. We walked into these "moon rooms" and their walls were covered in rocks that looked like little asteroids. We entered the room through a pool (swimming). At the end, we were annoyed that the pool was the only way to get in and out. It involved diving underwater and squeezing through extremely small spaces, in which I was worried I might suffocate or something. (1 point)
      - I keep having nightmares about a bad set of loud partier roommates that my brother and I had in college, IRL. I couldn't sleep at all for those two semesters because they were so loud late into each night. I had another nightmare about this -- my brother and I had to move back with them for some reason. But I had some noise-canceling headphones to sleep in, which helped. The rest of my notes on this dream are illegible. (0.5 points)
      - Fragment: Night sky outside with stars. (0.5 points)
      - Fragment: I dreamt that something I was looking at had a spelling error (0.5 points)
      - Fragment: I dreamt that I closed the blinds. (0.5 points)
      - I ALMOST had a DEILD but I got distracted or was thirsty or something. Dang it!
      - And then I had one spontaneous DILD. But it was wickedly short. All that happened was that I was with my friend (different one than before), and we were walking through a city. I randomly became lucid. I talked to my friend who also knew that I was dreaming and we wanted to try the summoning task together. I attempted, and then I woke up. I really need to work on stopping this as it's been a rather common trend for me lately -- waking up shortly after getting lucid and trying to stabilize. (10 points)

      NAP: I took a nap to attempt another WILD but I think I was too caffeinated and didn't really fall asleep? I had some faint signs of my body starting to fall asleep, and I had my noise-cancelling AirPods again...but I kept waking back up.

      Points: 13.5

      I had poor recall and low lucidity for months leading up to this competition. Weird how it's gone up, hopefully it will stay. I think forcing myself to get up and write my dreams down, each time I wake up at night, is the key to better recall. My Oura ring for sleep tracking gets angry at me though because it says I spend too much of the night awake and gives me a drastic overestimated reduction on my hours spent asleep, which in turn messes with my Apple Health statistics...ah well, c'est la vie.

    7. Spring Competition Night 3

      3.4.2023

      Woke up at around 6:11 and did a WBTB [+ 2 points] . Recorded the following dreams:

      Music, Ricky, and Lucy [+1]

      I’m going up a set of stairs, whistling “The Lightning Tree”, or trying to. I come across my friend K from the lab, and we race to see who can get to the top of the steps first. She wants to get a good view of something. When we get there, there is a musical performance going on. Some kind of politician is playing, I think. The “Superintendent”, or something. It is also very windy. The wind is blowing so hard that a backdrop is wanting to blow over. I mess with it, and reinforce it with a nearby rope and piece of something. On the other side, I think, there is a dog house type thing. Someone might be living in it...Ricky Ricardo is lighting a candle to start a fire. It is Ricky and Lucy’s wedding night. They have a kerosene heater or something. Lucy is delighted to find out that Ricky is cheap – apparently they are saving money with this candle, or something.

      Fragment [+0.5]

      ...In a house with a lot of dogs. I’m trying to go through some doors without letting the dogs out of the house...

      The rough side of town [+1]

      Talking to a weird man standing behind a bush. Something about parking. The area seems a bit dangerous to me. The guy we are talking to seems shady. Fortunately, a car drives up that belongs to a company that I have done business with (an insurance company or something). They give me a ride, since I did business with them, although they want to check my credentials. The car has heavily tinted windows, so it’s a nice place to hide in while driving away. As we drive away, we see that police cars are showing up. The Amish in the area are moving to the edge of the neighborhood, apparently to avoid whatever situation might arise. We continue on our way out of there, on foot now. We come to a golf course with some kind of earthworks on it I think. It is in a somewhat intricate shape, including a chili pepper.

      Fragment 2 [+0.5]

      Someone is trying to mimic fighting reptiles with robots. I wonder if the robots (or one of them, at least) can learn how to bite. They are learning through a neural net or some type of AI. The robots turn into a fly and a melon. The fly flies around looking for the melon. The melon extends some kind of tube and moves around somehow. The fly shows off how it can look at things – like a car.

      Fragment 3 [+0.5]

      A man at church wants 15 cents. My grandmother doesn’t think we should give him anything. Apparently they gave him money “last time” and they don’t want to keep on giving him money. I find a dime in the front seat of the car, and also have some pennies. I wonder if I should give the guy the money. I think about going back into the building, but I’m in the car as we leave the parking lot. I think about suggesting that we stop so I can go back inside, but my grandfather, who is driving, is talking and I don’t want to interrupt him.

      Fragment 4 [+0.5]

      ...At a restaurant place to get food...

      Fragment 6 [+0.5]

      ...The poinsettia in my apartment looks healthy. I give the other plants some water. I look for the bottle that I use to water plants...

      Fragment 7 [+0.5]

      ...At my grandparents’ house. TV entertainment is not what it used to be. I think about getting some snacks...

      Back to bed around 6:35.

      Awake at 9:37


      Play and Water Danger [+1]

      Helping with a play. I’m doing music/technical stuff. At one point I think I’m playing music, or doing something along with the music, that involves tossing carrots around. There is a scene in which people bring a dead baby to Moses (?) to be brought back to life. They slide the dead baby prop under a table to me, which I then take and hide, while they bring out a live baby...I seem to be at Lakeside, a family vacation spot. The play is not over yet, but my part is done I guess and I can leave. As I go, they want me to sign a book. It also comes up that I had something to do with security, because I was trying to get into the town during the season (you have to pay to get in during the season) and was stopped at the gate. They then tell me about someone that either had a big parade float or were in a brawl that stretched across town.

      Down at the lake, there are some people swimming. A family with a couple of kids. There is a small whirlpool in the water nearby. They don’t think it is very dangerous, but it worries me a little. Kids keep drifting toward the whirlpool and into it, and have to be kept out of it. I realize that this is a dreamsign, and do a reality check. But I don’t get lucid, apparently. I, or someone else, wonders why there isn’t technology to rescue people when they go underwater. I then go up onto the pier. I see a woman rising to the surface of the water and clinging onto a part of the pier’s foundation below me. I signal to her that I see her, and then clamber down to her to try and rescue her. I seem to be too late, however. She lets go or loses her grip on the pier and slips into the water. But she gives me a thumbs-up as she sinks, as though she appreciated the attempt. I stand there, wondering if I should dive in and try to find her. The water is dark and murky, and I’m afraid to go in. But I do (and I seem to kind of half realize this is a dream or something like it). I let myself sink down to the bottom of the water and feel around, but I don’t feel the woman.

      Interesting about the woman. In the dream, I thought she had gone underwater and was resurfacing and clinging to the pier trying to stay up. I kind of wonder if this was another appearance of a Subaquatic woman though. She didn't seem too upset when she went back under, and I didn't find her when I dove in myself.

      Migraines and Money [+1]

      Talking with my mother about my nephew. In the dream, he has some kind of disorder (that has to do with his knee or leg?) that can be taken care of if someone who used to have migraines but is now better donates something (like plasma). My mother has migraines, but she still gets them so she can’t donate. I mention that my grandmother used to. My mother says something about how she doesn’t think my grandmother will donate because she doesn’t like someone...I look for money, and dig up a decent amount either from my pockets or the back of a car, or something. My grandmother comes along and gives me some money as well...driving into a park(?). I look for a place to turn around, rolling down my window to say goodbye to whomever I was with (my dad and some other people?) as I leave...Looking around Nairobi, I think. I notice how there is a slum in a kind of low-lying area, but nice buildings around. If you look at the cityscape at a certain angle, you don’t see the slum. Someone seems to find a nearby house amusing in some way. I think it’s kind of a nice house.
