    1. Competition - night 3

      by , 03-06-2023 at 06:14 AM
      I'm in my house that looks like my apartment, and my friends are over. My drawings are out, and my friend is super impressed by them. Especially this one drawing that looks like a render of a face, but slightly uncanny, with high detail and coloring.
      We eventually go to bed. My friend and I are in the same bed and he takes my phone and is going through it, so I do the same to him (jokingly) - he seems to be looking for more drawings I've done.
      The next morning, I find myself on a boat somewhere in the ocean. There's a drill sargeant - it seems we've all been `drafted` and are in boot camp. He's explaining what we're going to do. There's an giant, elevated island near us. A couple `missiles` explode below deck and the boat suddenly begins to sink - the sargeant says that we have to swim over there ourselves and climb to the top. I jump out - the boat goes flying and a couple people like this buff guy jump out and grab the ledge near the top, but I miss and `fall all the way down`. The water is nice, but as I kick for the surface, I lose one of my shoes. I reach the ledge and try to climb up a few times. Eventually I make it to the top.
      At the top, the drill sargeant tells us that our next task is to jump down again. There's waterfalls going into the ocean, and wherever those are, are deep underwater `caves`. Our job is to swim down there and find 3 caves and take videos of each. I ask him how we do that if our phones are not waterproof.
      Afterwards, we also end up going back down to a nearby spring that's somehow in the ocean at the surface, just barely below so it's like a cove. I recover my shoe along the way. While I'm there, I freak out because water got in my ziplock bag that has my phone in it. I also have bubble gum in my mouth, a big wad of it, that I spit into a toilet in the cove. A few seconds later, the sargeant comes over and sees it, but doesn't know it's me. We exchange friendly talk, he cleans it up, and I'm nervous that he'll realize it's me. Someone nearby calls me over and mentions my bubble gum, heightening the tension.

      There's another part earlier, where I'm in some sort of video game or movie narrative. I'm with the `MHA` cast and we are escaping an evil monster. We finally escape through a tiny box by all transforming into a big waterspout, and the monster is left behind. There's one guy left from the crew that's a blue dude, and he says that he only has 5 minutes of power left but he's gonna kill the monster. It annoys me that he's somehow more powerful than Deku and all the other members of the class, that the writer messed up that bad. I try to explain this but can't remember everyone's name because some are made up - I only recognize Deku, Todoroki, Sero, and Bakugo. On the other side of the box-portal, I write an angry review and drawings about this on a `little notebook` at the start of the hub world. Turns out other people were doing the same thing, with little reviews written on each page. I try to write something on the first page but there's a big design covering it. I realize my mistake and erase it.

      I meet a girl who gives me these tablets that you burn in order to get `high`. I do a bunch of them, and tell her I didn't even know this was a thing. I do too many, which makes her laugh.
      Near us is the entrance to a `club`. I stand in the waiting lobby which gets increasingly crowded, and notice that being high makes the colors more vibrant. My friend is also there, and we are all wearing fedoras for some reason. I realize this and take mine off. The fact that it's so crowded and busy ruins my high but I think it's okay.

    2. Fantasies and such (Spring competition night 4)

      by , 03-06-2023 at 05:47 AM (Awake to take in the view...)
      - Dream #1: Someone asked a group of tulpas (sentient imaginary companions) and hosts what it was like to be together. We were at an apartment complex underneath the stars. (Fragment for 0.5 points)
      - Dream #2: I had a lucid astral projection experience which was induced with DEILD (I think from dream #3 below actually, sorry they're out of order). I felt myself floating out of my body slightly. I lifted my arms up into the air, seeing them rise above me. I heard a bunch of people talking all around me. I tried to launch into the air. For some reason, I fell back into my body instead, and just felt vibrations all over in mild sleep paralysis before waking up and having to pee lol. Need to practice better dream control and stabilizing. (DEILD for 10 points)
      - Dream #3: This one got NSFW. The clean parts: I was in a classroom. There was an anthropomorphic wolf that looked somewhat similar to Death/Lobo from Puss in Boots 2. He asked me where my parking validation was. He was then yelling at me for daring to be at a magical school when I have bipolar disorder (I have not been diagnosed with this IRL) and the ability to traverse between different worlds. I had more consciousness in this dream than usual, enough to really think about what was going on -- but not enough to become lucid. It got weirdly NSFW after that, and I wrote it down in my paper journal but we're not going to discuss that here. I'm not even sure wtf my brain was doing with this one. (Full non-lucid for 1 point)
      - Dream #4: I had a dream that I was writing in my dream journal! I love these because I am very likely to get lucid when they happen. That said, this time it didn't. (Fragment for 0.5 points)
      - Dream #5: I had a dream in which Taylor Swift was walking around. (Fragment for 0.5 points)
      - Dream #6: I was with all these crip dudes wearing blue and I was also wearing mostly blue for some reason. I think a sky blue football jersey? Again...I have been listening to too much gangster rap at the gym. (Fragment for 0.5 points)

      - 4 fragments = 2 points
      - 1 full non-lucid = 1 point
      - 1 DEILD = 10 points
      Total: 13 points

      Competition total: 32.5 (due to interacting with DC the previous night, thanks Saizaphod!) + 13 = 45.5

    3. Day 3 Spring Comp

      by , 03-06-2023 at 05:08 AM (The world of Lyseno)
      Saturday March 4th 2023
      I don’t like you.
      I was at home about to prepare something… but everything was so heavy. Become lucid and decide I need to go to another planet to prepare food and taste something a bit different; but then how will I get food… want to go shopping.
      Teleport again, this time try to reach out to a planet that has a family similar to my own but with a dead version of me they don’t know yet about and do find the place!
      So once I arrive, try not to teleport inside since the me dead they don’t know about died a long time ago (Back when I killed all other alternate versions of myself); knock on the door, give them a full discourse of what happened and why I was unable to come back for years. They buy it and I feel like will be waking up, so tell them I need to go and rest before anything else so that I can wake up and not arise suspicion.
      Back to sleep.
      I am talking to a family member, become lucid while doing so and remember my goal… to prepare stuff that is only possible inside of a dream! This place has some very unique birds that are already domesticated and I want to prepare an omelette with that and some fruits, so ask one of the sisters in this world to bring me to the market.
      They take me to the nearest market and I purchase plenty of stuff while creating coins of the currency of this planet in my pockets. We talk for a while, tell them some more about this fake trip and that will end up leaving soon again but wanted to come visit and prepare some food. Also tell them have been sleeping poorly and what not. We get back from the market and they open the door.
      We go inside, I turn on the stove but still need their help to get to the right place. This house is nice, a back and front yard, the kitchen is a single big rectangular room and the bathroom is outside of the restroom, it has many entrances and also the places for sleeping are all together, feels cosy.
      Prepare the eggs in an omelette of fruits, add enough salt, also teleport some spices from other planet and use them, increase the fire using fire control and control the temperature by absorbing heat into the wind next to it to make a better meal.
      It takes me roughly 20 minutes to finish the preparations but am about to wake up, ask family to serve things as I go sit down for a bit while I wake up.
      Back to sleep.
      Am talking to myself, get up and become lucid; rub my eyes and remember my goal, get out of the room I am on, pass by the bathroom and get over to the kitchen, they are nearly done serving. Also figure out that should get the layout of the place and start using Scan while walking around.
      Not too far from here there is a school that is abusing children by forcing them to learn how to use their powers in a hierarchical system that forces them to fight and sometimes kill each other which I don’t like, for one they are making humans stronger than needed and for another nobody should abuse children.
      Take a note to go there once I am done eating. Once they finish serving feel like I am about to wake up again… no! Talk to them, ground myself to stay in the dream for a little bit longer and eat to my heart’s content, also get some sauce that apparently isn’t common on this planet by teleporting it from another planet and mixing the ingredients by creating a mini tornado and then just teleporting the content inside of a recipe and placing it over the table.
      They get surprised since they have never tasted anything like it, I just continue eating, lots of sauce added, some water with mango, pretty cool flavours all around. I am very happy about the results before waking up for real.
      Back to sleep.
      I am sitting in a dimly lit room. Become lucid and get out of the room, tell family I have to leave and hurry outside then leave the body I am on and go inside the body of one of the kids at the place.
      So far he has been named the weakest but his skill is quite good, eh can gather information and layer it around himself to predict actions in the immediate future.
      I go over as him and take classes as the kid, he is asleep in the meantime.
      Take notes, talk to the teachers, they seem to be impressed by the kid making more progress now than he used to before, I also refuse to let him be intimidated by the big kid in the class that has a skill that allows him to grow larger and stronger; albeit his skill is better oriented for fighting and has a much better body structure and height than the one I am controlling, they are not allowed to use skills outside of official battles and as such don’t worry too much.
      When the teacher comes back, he seems annoyed at me, since in the last test he made I got higher grades than some of my classmates, he keeps trying to pick up on the kid I am controlling but keeps failing; before leaving he says he needs to speak to the principal and will get back to us which is nice since I need to wake up.
      Back to sleep.
      I am sitting in a wooden chair, become lucid as someone pushes my head down because it’s going in slow motion due to how heavy we are… being lucid fixes the issue with being in slow motion but then I get my head slammed against the chair and since this is not my body get actual damage.
      There is some blood and I heal myself before turning around so nobody realizes, leave a small red mark and the kids body instinctively started to cry.
      The big guy is there smirking at me, because he can’t believe I tried to defy him or his group, so tell him he couldn’t beat me without his powers and make him want to fight me.
      The friends of the kid come over and tell me something bad is happening, that the teachers are talking ill about me for going against the hierarchy and that they want to expel me, they tell me to just accept the beating in order to stay in the school to which I tell them that will not happen while getting ready.
      The other kid is getting ready and the teachers are on their way back, teleport some trouble makers from another country to force the teachers to lose time with them.
      The guy comes at me super obviously; he is running with his hand raised to punch down (The kid is like 1.3 meters’ tall vs the enemy who is like 1.5), as he is running just stand there and once I see his punch come down step to the right side and raise my leg to kick his chin as he was coming down.
      He tries to alter the trajectory of the fist but gets kicked first, rebound the leg back down and stomp on the ground jumping above the guy, avoid the punch and just kick him on the head and hop next to one of the wooden chairs.
      The guy gets mad and comes charging at me again, so this time move towards the front jumping and smash his nose with my head then as he steps back grab him by the collar and let myself fall with my whole weight and pull him down, as he is starting to trip take a hop to the front and kick the back part of his knees, forcing him to kneel down and then kick him in the head a few times, he ends up in the ground.
      That should teach them that skills are not everything!
      Prepare to leave the place since I feel like I have won when some of his friends literally uh… attack one of the kids holes, apparently there was also SA which the kid knows of. I grab their hand and jump out of the way super angry, wanting to kill them when the other kid slams me using his powers, which throws the body of the kid against the wall and across a desk that gets broken… the kid faints before I can force him awake and falls to the ground, and the other kids seem to want to SA him but I wake up before I can stop them.
      DEILD/Back to sleep.
      That won’t be happening while I am here!
      The kid is still fainted and his friends come, when they call him as the others prepare to SA the kid I forcefully wake him up and get him dressed of what little clothes he lost.
      The other kids come to his aid but are pushed aside by the big guy, I place my fingers on his nose and then pull him down and slam my head against his nose again, this time he is bleeding profusely.
      The teachers come by and I accuse him of using his skills outside of the school regulations but the teacher says he is allowed to do so, because the teacher gives him permission.
      The kid then goes on to attack again so I use the skill of my host and avoid then try to gouge one eye out but fail to do so because the teacher kicks my host out of the way before I can fully take the eye out. I protect my host and he smashes against a window, some glass falls down and cuts him down.
      The teacher asks the other kid to use fusion powers, and he absorbs his friends, turning into a giant that can control all elements at will, so ask the friends of the kid to help him and this allows him to also partially change information.
      Normally he couldn’t use his power for more than become a mist, so the other big kid tried to hit with thunder.
      I change the humidity of the place and then redirect the thunder and humidity towards the big guy whom now gets electrocuted.
      The teacher then does something that opens a door, the big kid runs towards that location and I follow suit in a form where I am a 2d creature. There are paintings that move all around.
      Some kind of deity was sealed in here and they have been trying to unseal it. They do it now using the fusion of the big kid and mine, which pretty much kills half the kids in the other room and takes away all of the force from the ones next to the painting that were fused and nearly kills the host and his friends who are weaker, if not for the fact I protected him.
      Some kind of clown like creature starts hoping around the paintings and laughing at all of us, the teacher seems to be overjoyed and the kid I am with is fainting.
      The creature finally comes out of the pictures and transforms into a child himself, but obviously also a deity given by his power levels.
      The wind around him is pushed over and that hit will obviously kill my host and his friends.
      So finally get out of his body and stop the punch of the deity with my hand and create a barrier that protects my host, the rest of the building gets clown apart killing the assholes that I was fighting before and hurting the teacher. Teleport a giant stalactite above the teacher and move it with TK down to pierce his stomach and make him die a painful, slow death before turning to the deity and tell the creature to stop or I will devour it.
      The thing jumps back and then two meteors come crashing down, the clouds above me dissipate from the heat and so I create absolute zero next to it, reforming the clouds and creating ice spikes all around the meteors that then get shot towards it, making it just small rocks.
      The creature seems perplexed but still confident. The air around us turns black and a mist comes towards me, I teleport in front of him and touch the mist making it toxic to him and then push him back with super gravity pointed outside of the planet; the deity then becomes a 2d creature to escape and moves towards the kids again so grab it and look at it completely confused as to how I could get a hold of it, it tries to become immaterial but still holding tightly on to it “Told you to quit while you still had the chance” tell the deity as I get it towards my mouth and start munching on it, and seal it inside of my stomach.
      Once I am done teleport down and restore the time of the place to before the explosion, but keep the teacher and the bullies dead, everyone else is told they are dismissed to go and never come back; since this was the only project to ever be created for kids with powers kill all the heads of the project and anyone who knew about it, also make sure the kids understand how to protect themselves and avoid having the same project being born again and give some creatures on the planet the ability to fight off humans if needed before waking up.

      Actually forgot to journal and the day was chaotic, also went to sleep at 3.40am and woke up 2 hours later, so only remember now being lucid and eating something, scrambled eggs if memory serves before flying towards a mountain.

    5. Day 1 Spring Comp

      by , 03-06-2023 at 05:02 AM (The world of Lyseno)
      Thursday March 2nd 2023
      Poor sleep and poor dream control.
      I am walking around the house, become lucid and decide it is time for me to do something else.
      Teleport to a new world and just fly over a town, for some reason I do not like the place and don’t want to go down there.
      Keep flying, use Scan in order to see what the people are in there like and the reason why I didn’t feel comfortable is because they keep killing species in cruel ways.
      The next thing I do is control the people from afar using TK to close down their wind pipes and make them all die of suffocation; once I know none of them is still alive prepare to go down but wake up before being able to reach the ground.
      Back to sleep.
      I am going to the bathroom; become lucid while doing so and teleport over to a new world and end in space… try teleporting a few more times and keep arriving to different locations but none of them are in an actual civilization or even a planet, just random places in space.
      Not sure why this keeps happening and can’t figure it out before waking up.
      Back to sleep.
      I am walking down a forest, become lucid and decide I want to go somewhere else; first of all though check if my teleportation is working properly and teleport to a random planet.
      It worked, so good for me! See a tower in the distance and teleport in front of the place, right at the entrance.
      There is a big wooden door and people guarding it that try to impale me with spears as soon as I come over, they just don’t do any damage as I walk towards the tower and rip the door off and throw it behind me.
      Start going up the tower and wonder how many floors it is, so start counting my steps through the stairs, 247 steps… why am I even counting if I won’t know how tall this is? Will check once I wake up. As I reach the top see the sun coming up, and it is actually a cool sight. The only bad side is the people screaming at me from below, so make a fire that burns them all near instantly as it goes down to enjoy the sun sight. Or star sight or whatever, not much besides that is done.
      Back to sleep.
      I am sitting in the grass, get up and become lucid while doing so. Once I am standing and lucid wonder what I should be doing now.
      Fly a bit and watch around just to see that there is a cool river not too long from me, so start walking towards that direction.
      Once I reach a girl comes to me and asks me where I am going, try to ignore her but she keeps pestering me so go towards a road that is going up a mountain that is next to the river, the girl finally stops following me at that point.
      Once I reach a certain height, the road becomes a cliff that goes directly onto the river and at the other side there is a plain; since the girl is now gone just jump over the cliff and land at the other side of the rider; a shockwave is created so use time to reverse the damage and sound before it reaches anyone and sit down next to the river; take off my shoes and socks and start playing in the water before waking up.

    6. 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.

    8. 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.

    9. 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.

    10. 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

    11. 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.

      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.
    13. 2023 Spring Comp night 3: Light body horror

      by , 03-04-2023 at 10:48 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I notice I am going bald. My hair is very long but my hairline has receded in an unnatural fashion. My hair is also a mixture of colors (blonde, brown and black). I decide I will see a doctor as the pattern of balding seems unusual and it seems to be happening very fast and could be a sign of disease. But I am also reluctant to see a doctor in america because the doctors get paid to diagnose diseases and prescribe medications.

      I end up walking through my town at night and going to some OTD doctors office. When I arrive the disease has progressed considerably. I shaved off the rest of my hair deciding to "embrace the bald look" but there are these large pimples and growths and I see that the shape of my skull is becoming irregular. The doctor says the disease is relatively rare but mild. There is nothing they can do about it and my head will continue to look worse as I get older.

      I wake up after getting stressed out about it. I attempt to DEILD. I am laying awake for a long time imagining past dream scenarios and becoming fully lucid within them. I fall back asleep but don't recall a further dream.

      I sat down to go play the walking dead season 2 by telltale. It was different though. Kenny, Christa and Omid were all there as well as that one russian kid. They were all arguing. Kenny was threatening the kid and Christa and Omid walked into some building where I (clem) also went. There I had to play the FNAF 2 minigames which I was making fun of. Just about it

    15. Competition Night 3

      by , 03-04-2023 at 08:59 PM (The Dream Adventures of MadMonkey)
      I am in a dream where everything is black and white. I become spontaneously lucid and let myself wake up hoping the next dream is in full color and stability.

      [color=#111188]I am in my bedroom and I do a nose pinch rc and can breath through my fingers. I fly up through the ceiling and into the sky to view the landscape. It looks nothing like my neighborhood. There are tall buildings as well as open fields.

      Unfortunately I get overcome by sexual urges and I spend the rest of this DEILD having sex with dream characters. I won't go into detail there. I wake up and have to DEILD again.

      I am a woman wearing a scuba suit and using one of those underwater propulsion devices to zoom toward a boat. It's night time and a man is there with me. We count down together then zoom out of the water onto the deck.

      I pull out a gun and the man and I find the deck of the boat clear. We go into one of the rooms and find a room with tons of giant egg like things. I know somehow that these are eggs that will unleash demon spawn on the earth. We set explosive charges and are about to leave when a cultist comes around a corner with a gun. I act first and shoot them.

      When we dive from the boat into the water I wake up and fail to DEILD further.[COLOR]
