This guy's singing, "You can't stop the beat!" What's that from? Uh Grease right??? Whatever.
Damn, I tell my friend, he's even better than you!

Now there's this woman, a woman from a video game. Here she is finding herself "IRL". She has no idea what the real world is like. She tries to flush herself down the toilet. How silly. She takes a shit. She eats the shit.

Everyone around me gasps in shock.

"Is that taboo?" asks the woman.

"The biggest taboo," answers another.

"Do they not have poo in your game?" I ask.

Now the woman is Velma from Scooby Doo.

And now I am lucid, because even for me this is too fucking stupid.

I wander about, semi-lucid. I'm disappointed I got lucid, sucked all the fun out of this dream. I believe here I meet a man. I mentally flag him as a bad entity. He gives me lucid dreaming advice but I ignore it.

Now I'm back in a room, chatting with a young woman. She is very excited, since "all of us dreamt the same thing." And she recounts how her dream started with someone singing, and I'm kind of excited too now because, yes, indeed, that's how my dream started. But then the dreams start to diverge.

I'm semi-lucid now. The dream is vague again. I'm in Italy, somewhere that looks like Venice. I decide to go along with it.

I get on a motorized gondola. Our captain says he is going to break the speed record set by Napoleon prior to his death; 200mph! We speed through the canals, but it's nowhere near 200. We go through a little tunnel underwater. Wheee!

I was standing by a pond, when I noticed a sickly looking duck under the surface. Its eyes were half closed, and it looked nearly dead. I contemplating saving it, but I felt it was beyond hope.

I recalled reading somewhere that the end stage of drowning can be almost calm. Was would be the point of saving the poor thing? It would only suffer another minute before dying anyway.

Suddenly the duck seemed to come to life again, and it kicked away a stone then swam to the surface. It had only gotten one of its feet stuck under a rock! I felt bad for standing by idly.

I looked back at the duck, and it was now a cute little mammalian creature, with fur and a tiny blowhole. It seemed happy. I was glad it had no resentment toward me. Some water had flooded over a nearby sidewalk, and I followed as it swam up. I remembered what this creature was now, this was a bear cub. All bear cubs are aquatic in their youth.

But... if this was a bear. Oh god. I turned around, and found myself staring straight at Momma Bear. She was not pleased. Yep this was it, time to die.

I think I've figured out why my dry spell is occurring. I've had to adapt my schedule a bit so I actually get novel writing done (in addition to working full-time, exercising, doing art, working on my master's thesis, and having a little bit of time to relax after work, aargh...) and that's all dandy BUT I keep getting to bed too late. I might have to switch things around and do the writing block earlier so I can have a better meditation session and then sleep more. Because the LDs are not happening. D:

Anyway.

- I used a sketchbook to draw bananas. (Fragment = 0.5 pts)
- I realized something wasn't the most efficient. (I can't remember what though?) I was lost in some indoor labyrinth and kept getting turned around. At one point I thought I got out but ended up in a really sketchy neighborhood filled with people who looked like they wanted to hurt me. (Full NLD = 1 point)
- I bought rainbow parts at some store because everyone in the group said we should buy in Texas or whatever we were. (???? I have no idea what this means xD) (Fragment = 0.5 pts)
- One kid said that he thought we were annoying (Fragment = 0.5 pts)
- I was arguing with my brother over which bed we got at some hotel. I have no idea why I was so ticked but I was. (Fragment = 0.5 pts)

Total: 4 fragments = 2 points. 1 NLD = 1 point. So 3 points.

Competition total: 50 + 3 = 53 points

Tonight will be better! Just got to get ready for bed fast and have a nice, smooth meditation session.

There was a woman who put 3 bombs in our house and I had to find them. unfortunately I only found two. Well turns out, she actually placed 5, and our house was on a train underwater, naturally. So everyone drowned expect for me.

+.5 Non Lucid Fragment

I began lucid dreaming today 2 years ago. This is a pretty good start for the next year to come, as last night I recalled 3 non-lucid frags, had 1 DILD, and 1 WILD. I didn’t complete any dream control goals.

(This journal entry contains spoilers for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Part 8: Jojolion)

Non-lucid:
I was reading some Jojolion (Seemed like the chapters with the stand that removed your ability to differentiate faces and words).
It was the part where Yasuho thought she was talking to Josuke, but it was really Joshu.
Memory gap, then I was reading a panel of Josuke and Yasuho finding each other and discussing how they were going to defeat the stand user (this panel doesn’t exist irl).
The dream transferred the scene to me laying in bed with my dog.
Then I woke up.

DILD:
I found myself in my old school’s gym. We were playing hockey, and I was doing horribly.
I was kind of getting embarrassed, and then I nonchalantly figured out I was dreaming.
I exited the gym through the door to the left of the stage. In the halls, my brother and his friend walked out. I got kind of scared, seeing as he previously loved to ruin my lucids. So I noclipped into the floor above, but it was too late. He grabbed me and then I woke up.

WILD:
I woke up from a non-lucid dream I no longer recall, and kept my eyes closed, and thought that just maybe I could chain it into a lucid.
And it happened. A very faint dream formed, one where I was able to reality check. I did the nose-pinch test, and it worked. However, I quickly realized that this dream was really faint and unvivid— I quickly “woke up” into a false awakening.
I did the nose-pinch test again to check if I was really awake, and I breathed through my nose, an indication that I’m dreaming. However, my brain rationalized this somehow as me just having a stuffy nose (there’s no way that logic would work out??). So I went non-lucid again.
I walked out of my room, into the living room, and my dog was wide awake and sitting on the couch.
Went into the kitchen. I acknowledged the ‘feeling’ I was getting of still being in bed dreaming, but I didn’t connect the dots.
Then I woke up, ironically. Chaining the lucid did not work.

Time to count up points.

Had a DILD: +10
Had a WILD: +10
Had a non-lucid (3 fragments from the same dream): +1
Used WBTB: +2
Phased through solid object +10
RC + 1

I am in some sort of commune in another country where they keep endangered animals. I programmed some sort of code and showed it to the benobo and it immediately atarted crocheting! It whipped up a sweater in no time at all. The other people in the commune immediately got hostile to me and tried kicking me out. I dived into the pool with the porpoise to hide. Weirdest dream in recent memory!

Really good things happened, I just wish I could've handled them better.

Following the WBTB was an amazing PR lucid, followed by a slightly depressing part that fell off. I was in an aiport with Ankha. She got me lucid, and was live action like before. We were really enthusiastic about our destination. Yet I firmly stated that the cult kept me from making guarantees. Near the end there was something that seriously upset her. Our flight was cancelled, I think and a person resembling Snape from Harry Potter was scolding us. Then, I had a nasty false awakening. I had great recall. Celebrating this intriguing lucid. I explained it to OmniLucid to many people and they praised me for it. I found a way to record that part of the lucid and shared it with them. Ankha’s mouth wasn’t open enough ever to see inside. The only. ONLY reason this ISNT a 10/10 is really sad recall for the actual lucid itself

Night of Monday 3/6/23

I'm in a basement dungeon that reminds me of Snape's office from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. There is some argument happening about outfits to wear. Snape is trying to impose some evil magic. One of the kids is transformed into a massive black monster that takes up most of the room. Snape plays the hero and defeats the monster. It was his plan all along. There is a purple glowing scythe that has mind control. It has a mind of its own similar to Nightblood in Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere.

I'm on the top floor of a mansion house on the beach. The mansion has secret passages, with some rooms off limits. It reminds me of the home containing the wardrobe from Chronicles of Narnia.

Night of Tuesday 3/7/23

I'm in a documentary about My Chemical Romance. There is a skyscraper where they supposedly live. They have invented their own version of the color black and are selling a clothing line based on it. There is another scene where there is a party in the skyscraper home. The inside looks like my sister's old rental home. There is some drama going on but can't recall exactly. The documentary goes into some detail about how the band uses cocaine.

I'm talking to the Pope at the Vatican. Don't recall any context for this.

1 Dream Recall again cause I'm goofy.

I was watching Avatar 3 (shortly after my "Puss in Boots 3" dream) and all the Navi were chilling in this wooden mansion house. There was a human there, my friend in real life who for some reason every single hour got a year younger. After a while he became a baby. Me and the Catgirl avatar were building a big superweapon for some reason. Before I woke up, we went to this big room where a sculpture of Jesus was on the floor, fallen from it's container. Next to a sculpture of Satan who was in his container. It was spooky and I woke up

Fragment 1 [+0.5]

...A couple is dancing together in a room to some music...

Fragment 2 [+0.5]

...Couples are meeting their demise in different ways. It’s almost like a romantic thing, or something. One elderly-ish couple (probably 70s or so) are sitting in a car together almost laughing as a train-like thing comes up behind them. The feeling is like that “Final Destination” movie, I think, but more like a romantic comedy...

Fragment 3 [+0.5]

...Walking out to the parking lot. It’s dark. We (a friend and myself) are going to our cars...

Holly and the Chimp [+1]

“Holly”, who is supposedly a relative, shows up. She has shortish hair, and is fairly attractive. I go somewhere, and come back with two stuffed animals. On the way, I start to go into a room where someone is showing a koala bear and a chimpanzee (or closely related species) to a class. I was going to cut through that room on my way back up, but decide to go a different way. I’m headed back up to a lab now, and talking to one of the stuffed animals that I’m carrying. When I get back up to where I was going, my family is headed somewhere. To eat, I think. I hope to catch up with them so I can eat with them...

Fragment 4 [+0.5]

There is a Church service going on on the campus of the university. I walk through on my way somewhere, and see Michael Palin talking to the pastor. At some point I stop and listen to the pastor talking. They have set up chairs inside a tent, and I think it’s interesting how different this part of the campus looks now. Later I mention to someone that I saw Michael Palin.

1. I was with another fan of this visual novel that I play. We were taking a walk and they were out of shape. We talked about the game and we both loved the same character. (Fragment = 0.5 points)
2. Something illegible plus the word "coworkers" and "club"
3. I had a dream that I was afraid my alarm was going to go off. (It didn't) (Fragment = 0.5 points)
4. A dream that my car died. This happened IRL on Monday right in the middle of the road, and I'm still rather shaken from it (car is currently at the mechanic), so I guess that was my brain trying to process it. (Fragment = 0.5 points)

I will not count the illegible one.

Night 6. My results are not as they were at the beginning of the competition. Here's to hoping I can get back on track tonight!

- 3 fragments = 1.5 points

Running Total = 48.5 + 1.5 = 50 points

My visualizations were so good that I could touch them. The entire dream is really really hard to describe so that's it.
+.5 Non Lucid Fragment.

I did a wbtb and wrote some notes but looking back at them I have no memory of what happened.

The next dream I was in a first person shooter and I got an 8 person kill streak. It turned into more likr Grand Theft Auto and I was driving around in a car.

The next dream I was lucid although I don't remember the start of the dream. I can't go into detail because my girlfriend was in it and we got kinky! I didn't complete any task other than "interact with a DC".

I woke up and DEILDed back into the same dream

3-7-23 Comp Day 6 (feels like I slept sound and solid last night - The cat let me sleep through the entire night no WBTB attempts)

D#1 7:30AM - I was inside a building - a glass building that had water in the lobby. I don’t remember what I was doing before I started walking out of the lobby, but the lobby was full of water and it seemed pretty calm with a gentle wave towards the exit wall. I was hovering and moving just above the water level. Moving towards the exit doors; or exit wall. Suddenly the water's wave movement changed direction and I thought how strange that the direction changed like that. I get out of the building and turn back and watch the waves change again. This is all happening inside the building, the water all gathers into the middle of the room and creates a super large wave. It billows up tall and reaches the height that should be the top of the building, then suddenly starts moving as if a huge tidal wave would and smashes into the walls. The water becomes so turbulent it keeps building and splashing and building and splashing into the walls repeatedly. Till finally it settles down. The water never broke out through the glass walls. After it settled down I went back and saw a younger MDC sitting at a round table with his cat. The man seemed emotionless and just sitting there with this cat in his arms. My first thought was that they sat there and withstood the waters beating and I was worried that the cat was dead. I went over and petted the kitten. The cat was still alive.

D#2 7:30AM - I was roller skating/or blading through a neighbor on the sidewalk. In the beginning of the dream it was light out and I ended up at some place where there seemed to be some type of typewriter the old black styles before computers (I was just talking to someone about them last weekend IRL) And I was standing there in front of it trying to use it or well not exactly sure but it wasn’t working as it was supposed to. Then I started skating back home. The sidewalk became my focus point in this one spot. I remembered seeing a very long copper wire (which I apparently had left out somewhere) and someone else had come along and cut it up into all these tiny short pieces. So while I was skating, I had to be careful not to get any of those pieces under the wheels on my skates. There were a lot of pieces scattered along the sidewalk for a short distance. Finally there was no more wire debris and just about that time, it got dark outside. My skates however had these very cool built-in headlights. They were old school original lights and they shined so nice and bright so I could see the sidewalk very clearly even though everything else was dark. I ran into a friend of mine on the way back home. She was skating too, and instead of her having her dog with her, she ended up having a little boy with her. He may have been holding a green colored blanket. I remember smiling and waving at him. I chatted with the friend for a moment, she was with a couple other DC’s and they were on their way to some other place. My friend commented on the lights on my skates and made them sound like they worked better than hers, or mine were brighter anyhow. We said our goodbyes and I continued onward back to where I thought home was…never reaching home…skating off into the abyss….


DF#3 - There was something going on with a group of older FDC and then also not sure if it was this same dream or another one but there was also something going on with an older MDC. No details of this recalled It seemed like something I’d want to remember…ugh


2 Dreams = 2 pts
1 DF = .5

Total = 2.5

I was in the hallway at home, waiting for everyone to leave so I could go to the toilet, a high school girlfriend from my family shows up in our house because the family wanted us to stay in touch. I greet her and hug and we have some small talk as we notice both us us have grown.

After she goes upstairs, I bunch of people are chilling in my hallway dresser in blue and orange parkas. They're film extras waiting for the shoot, but I jokingly tell them I thought everyone just had zero drip which causes them to laugh out loud. I then let them ask me questions and everyone excitedly holds up their hand, the first person whose name I guessed as "Levi" because he looked familiar (in hindsight like someone else I know, I know someone with that name but it's not him) who asked about me being German because of my family. The second guy I had trouble understanding, I feel bad that I had to ask them multiple times and walk up to them just to discover that he's from Belgium (It was a Dutch dream) and he was speaking in a very thick Belgian accent asking me if I would travel to his theatre play, I say of course as I've traveled to Belgium before and even all the way to Luxembourg. I then jump back on the bad with a crazy backflip.

The scenario from my dream then changes to the waiting room being for a performance from the sound studies master students from Berlin, whom I've seen live in July. The performers in question come chill in the waiting room with us not knowing they have to get on stage in five minutes, they asked me about their schedule and I pull my my phone saying it's at :45 as I notice the time being :40 right now (Coincidentally also when I'm writing this) the performers rush ahead and my theatre school classmates and I walk towards the performance as well through the streets at the canals in Utrecht.

As we walk towards the performance I brag to my former classmates about seeing them in Berlin. And they're all having this "he's talking about Berlin again face" (This has never happened in real life as I haven't spoken to most classmates in 3-4 years now, but is what my subconscious assumes their reaction would've been as I had this classmate who would always react to my online activities in person)
This classmate asks me about the master "Oh so they were like 'Lets teach a bunch of kindergarteners some sound design' " then joked about them getting an assignment to make music out of an apple pie and later on a different pie and for some reason I was just responding with yes knowing damn well how disrespectful they were being but couldn't be bothered enough to argue. I then fortunately woke up.
