Basically, I had a dream about my day job. I can't disclose much about it due to data protection laws (even if the data in this context is fictional it would kind of give away the private information regarding my job)

I have a lot of customers over the phone and this week was a bit more intense than usual. I've been working for over six months straight and not yet taken any vacations. I've been staring at my screen for a bit too long and have to do so much longer as much as I'm very much in the "You should quit your job and do something you love" stage. I have always been. Unfortunately from a realistically perspective, I cannot afford to do so. Since 2021 I have been paying off expensive bills and am nowhere near being debt free.

Thanks for listening to my rant, sick of this "chapter" of my life and my work infiltrating my dreams.

1. Sliding Into Syrano II
I'm aware as I lay in bed, realizing I'm dreaming and that I may be able to enter the scene. I relax and begin encouraging my dream body to slide as Daniel Love's advice from a talk comes to my mind. I continue to slide and begin to mentally encourage my dream body to stand up and begin walking into the scene. I'm in the bedroom in the Syrano main house and it's a very accurate recreation of my room in waking life. I approach the nearby table and study the contents, one item of which is a small travel mug like in waking life. I rub the table a bit to stabilize. I leave the room and enter the main room, which once again is recreated very accurately. I look ahead and want the dream to be more vivid, so I shout "Claritiy Now!" The dream becomes slightly more vivid, but as I walk forward I get the sensation that I'm waking up.

*False Awakening
2. Zen Garden in Orchid (LD)
I'm laying in bed, thinking that I just woke up. I begin to look around critically. This doesn't make sense...this isn't my room... I'm lucid. I get out of bed in the dark room. and walk of the small platform. I sink into what appears to be dense black goo. I sink further but eventually will myself to float up and ascend above. I see some lamp on a small ledge in the distance. I use telekinesis to move one of the small lamps and it floats to the wall to the right. Another lamp remains behind it - an afterimage of sorts. I turn around and float toward the wall which has a window. I think back to some of Sivason's advice on summoning. I imagine a few items I'd like to find. I then imagine the scene I'd like to find, encouraging the scene to have an orange hue. Suddenly a burst of orange light emanates from the window. I phase through the window and enter a beautiful scene in twilight which appears to be a zen garden. Large white rocks are sitting in the center of a small courtyard with dirt underneath. A one story white building, somewhat resembling a zen monastery wraps around the zen garden (1). I look for cocoa for a moment, but don't find any. I look to my right and see a massive structure which appears to be living quarters of sorts - I recognize the area from a past dream. I wonder if the area on the first floor ahead is the room of storms. I float forward, imagining there will be a shop in that area as well and want to explore in the first floor area ahead, but decide to curve to the right to explore the area to the right which feels like a cross between a cave and a parking structure. I enter the area and begin to reflect on the quality of my awareness, increasing my focus. I curve right and begin exploring the cave area further, looking for a dream character to ask about the area. I continue to curve around in a circle which progress inward toward the center. Once I make my way fully around, I see that there's a bit of an opening into a room and I get the sense that there are several dream characters managing something in the area beyond. As I enter, I feel that I'm waking up.

*False Awakening
3. Nocturnia (LD)
I'm laying in bed and think about recording my previous lucids. I see a co-worker and she asks me do do something. This...doesn't make sense... Nose plug - I'm lucid. I turn to face the corner of the room and think about casting a fireball. I hold my hands to the side and get a sense that there's energy being generated between my hands, that fire is churning. I extend my hand anticipating the fireball. I see my hand extend and wisps of faint wisps of smoke against the far wall. I approach the window and once again will that a scene with an orange glow lay beyond. As I go to phase through widow, I encounter a mesh screen of sorts that bends and prevents me me from phasing thorough it. I eventually phase thorough an see a beautiful, otherworldly city beginning to form from a slightly blurred visual. It becomes very clear and I begin descend into the scene, cast under the night sky. There are several massive structures appearing as cathedrals of sorts, each with a an emblem containing a crescent moon and several small stars in the center. I get the mental impression the place is named Nocturnia and I want the area to become persistent. I feel a sense of awe and wonder. I head toward the largest structure which is straight ahead. I consider which floor to enter into and decide on the first floor. Once I enter I have the option to go left, yet continue into the main area straight ahead - a circular room with a massive vaulted ceiling and a round sitting area in the center in which a counsel seems to be gathered. I make my way inside to introduce myself and take in the faces, many of which appears to be middle aged. They are men and there's one boy among them. I introduce myself, yet they don't seem interested. I seem one of the men to my left has a sweater with a circular logo in the center with several colorful legos within - I find it strange. They seem to be a bit annoyed. I float outward, then feel that I'm bound by invisible shackles on ankles. I unable to move any farther and get pulled back slightly. I can't escape the area. I use strength to pry the left one off, then stand up and imagine cutting through the right one with an invisible blade. It doesn't work on the first attempt, but on the second I'm freed. I float to the side room and two DCs follow me. One DC is holding two guns and holds a gun to my head, then another approaches carrying another gun which I grab. I begin laughing at the DC holding the gun to me and look at him calmly.
"I'm in my dream body... you can't do anything" I say while I continue to laugh. I wake up.


Notes:
(1) I believe this area is Orchid, but need to explore it a bit more.

The dream takes place in an alternate future where there are multiple alien races meeting at the UN building on earth. They have formed a new organization called the UPO or United Polities of the Orion Arm. I am outside with some Eridians and we are preparing the eridian flag. Their flag is white with a black design. Its sort of a circular design with five rectangles radiating off of it and a dot in the middle. Eridians have prototyped cameras that are wired into their brains to give them limited eyesight but in order for them to 'see' the flag they want me to install this sort of foam that raises up the design in the surface of the flag and use various textured fabrics that they can perceive with their sonar. We want to be accommodating incase the "eridian eyesight" project testing goes poorly. I am working at a table with a sewing machine doing this. We finish and fly the flag. There are many flags that I don't recognize hanging outside the UN. There are three or four Eridians all with complicated looking life support devices on their bodies. Apparently able to handle earth atmosphere and pressure as long as they are wearing that equipment.

One of the Eridians (there are about 3 or 4 of them with me) says something about spongebob and this prompts me to show them that I (in my Hade form) have some kind of gecko grip ability like spiderman. I climb on the concrete and they are very impressed by this.

We go inside the UN conference hall. There are other alien species here. Wookies (Star Wars), Navi (james cameron avatar), Septicrabs (Woue), Heptapods (Arrival) and I think Vulcans and Klingons (Star Trek). I get confused about what is going on and a Septicrab shows me a powerpoint presentation. He says they came to earth in the year 2023 and after negotiations went badly with humans (this seems to be a reference to a previous dream, the one where the Septicrabs invaded and my cousin was transgender.) The presentation explains that diplomatic relations degraded so badly that the Septicrabs demanded all humans turn over all their children below an age threshold of 6 years. Then on top of that they demanded 15 billion human babies or they would exterminate humanity. This resulted in a program where governments forced women to have children and then seperated them to give them to the aliens to fulfill the aliens demands. When humankind delivered the last of the children, the Septicrabs then activated a Halo array in a focused blast to wipe out all humans on earth anyways.

Wiht the ~16 billion human children the septicrabs raised them. They were taught to be accepting of alien cultures and about their own history. Human history generally being presented in a negative but truthful light (a lot of war, greed, propoganda, etc). But also taught about the old cultures and arts to preserve human culture and history as truthfully as they could. The Septicrabs had even been completely open about why they had done what they had done and said that humanity was so hopeless they represented a memetic hazard and could pollute the universe with their bad ideologies and twisted up morals. They believed was the only way to create a humanity that would be agreeable and trustworthy enough to exist on the galactic stage. I remember sitting down and talking with him explaining that I didn't think that was the right thing to do. While I agreed that it was true that humanity in the 21st century was... problematic, that they should not be forced into this state of artificial peace. Even if it took a thousand years they should try to teach the humans that are alive to be better people rather than kill everyone force a complete reset on their culture and ideology, even if it was for the better.

The Septicrab then explains that they didn't have time. That they had to make a difficult decision. They say a nicoll-dyson beam was fired at earth from about 100 light years away, and that they knew about the beam because they had an FTL ship investigate it while the beam travels at light speed. The dyson beam was created from a clone of bob (Bobiverse) who went crazy and decided he had the right to pass divine judgement on earth. The evil bob is a universe-ending threat and the septicrabs are spearheading a coalition of alien races to stop him because he has stated an intention to wipe out all life for being imperfect. They asked doctor strange to find a possible future where they could win and doctor strange said the only future was in one where humanity was able to put aside their differences and cooperate. The evil bob was growing exponentially and they had to stop him now. They couldn't wait around for powerful advanced aliens to get involved or for their own technology to advance or it would be too late.

I then travel through a time machine and am back in high school. The blue septicrab is there and he says that this was before the "reset" of humanity. He shows various aliens going to my high school and how they are getting bullied by humans for being different. One of them rips off the Eridians life support and he catches on fire and runs around in circles while all the kids point laugh. I see another one come up behind a female navi and grab her breasts. When she swats them away the kid pretends to be hurt. Then the teacher gets involved and takes the side of the human teenager even though she saw the whole thing happen. The septicrab tells me it is time to go to class. We go to a science class where he is showing how a fusion reactor works. He shows a working model of a stellarator style fusion reactor. It is maybe about a meter across sitting on the teacher desk. The septicrab is explaining different fuel types and fusion chains and the Q-factor of the fusion reactor.

The various aliens are paying attention and taking notes while the human kids are not. He tells the aliens quiet study time while he pulls the human students aside and lectures them. He says their test scores are the lowest in the class and no human student got above a C+. While all the aliens got As and Bs. He says that if their species is not interested in learning about advanced technology then they will not keep up with other alien races. He emphasizes that they are not going deep into math and only taking about fusion on a basic conceptual level but the human are still not applying themselves. One of the human students argues that the alien brains "work different" and therefore they need less challenging classes and special accommodations. Another student then says the Septicrab is being "racist" because he is singling out the human students. The Septicrab is frustrated but says that if a human student got an A or a B he would not be lecturing them, and that if any of the aliens had been a problem they would be getting this lecture too. He then shows a scientific paper published by Harvard saying humans are proven to have just as capable of brains as all the other aliens. Another student in the back raises his hand. He says that he watches Fox News and Fox News said that Harvard was now run by aliens with a political agenda to kick humans off their own home planet and we shouldn't listen to them.

I leave and go to the bathroom. I am in hade form but I see I have short hair. I say that this is bad because my hair allows me to do photosynthesis and provides energy. I concentrate on growing my hair and it gets a little longer to about shoulder length. I then see a Septicrab and the Navi girl come in (different one, this one is an adolescent student) and they plant a stink bomb on a timer and run away. I ignore them and walk out. The stink bomb goes off and starts filling the school with noxious green gas and all the students start running and panicking. The school hallway transitions to an outdoor residential street. I am casually walking and then start running and jumping. I notice gravity is very floaty and if I flap my arms I can stay in the air for several meters. I get to the end of the street. There is a lake, some large trees and a cafe area out on a big wooden deck. I jump off the wooden deck, and turn on my thrusters, now properly lucid. I see the stink bomb cloud coming for a bit but then will it to go away. A strong wind picks up and blows it away.

I think about how I want to spar with Madmonkey again. I walk up to a random dream figure and ask where Madmonkey is with the expectation that he will know. The dream figure is Ned from Neds Declassified School Survival guide. He starts giving me tips on going to school with aliens saying. "Remember to have your school install extra-tall doors for Navi, and make sure to have have holographic displays shifted into the ultraviolet spectrum so that [some other alien species] can see them. I wake up.

1. Dark Woods Entry (LD)
My awareness rises rapidly and I’m lucid, floating next to the pool of the main house in Meadow. I feel a sense of freedom and say I’m dreaming” as I begin gliding in an arc around the pool, not in a hurry to do anything in particular. I feel appreciation for getting lucid and say “thank you” in Bisaya, respectfully, to the dream, with a bit of humor. As I approach the far end of the pool and rise up a bit higher, I start thinking about where I want to explore next. I weight out a few options: the main house, the Dark Woods, or the fields I haven’t been to. I decide on the Dark Woods and float over the fence. I decide to stabilize and begin rubbing the sleeve of my jacket. I feel the sensations of cotton as I rub it. The area isn’t very dark currently, and the trees don’t have any leaves. I fly farther and notice a fairly normal two story house structure. I notice that it looks slightly different than the entrance to the wizard’s home. I also notice a community behind this area. I fly a bit closer, then wake up.

2. Dual Wielding Trees (LD)
I look back from the screen, reflecting on how the candle images appear dreamlike. I notice dream-glow as I look across the table at my co-worker. My awareness raises rapidly and I become lucid saying “I’m in a lucid dream”. I turn back toward the screen and phase into it. I enter the dream scene, yet it feels a bit creepy – almost like a haunted mansion type setting. I move backward, phasing out of the screen, and return toward the table area. I quickly leave the area, flying forward in the dark of the night. There’s a wall to my left that appears to be made of dark brick. To my right there’s a row of tall trees. I begin to think about practicing some dream control and go for dragon transformation. My form changes a bit, but it doesn’t feel accurate, so I switch to crow form. As I shrink, drop to the floor and near full transformation, I quickly switch to cat form and begin running forward. I reverting to humanoid form, thinking about invisibility, yet realize there’s no way to test it. I turn right and head into an area with trees, thinking about basic summoning some cocoa. I look on the ground behind a dirt mound, then a short brick wall structure as I make my way forward, yet don’t find cocoa behind either. I look toward the far end of the field and notice a dark structure, yet decide not to head toward it; it looks a bit creepy. I decide to use some super strength, and rip to trees out of the ground and start swinging them like swords. I then approach back toward the trail I came from, dropping the trees and begin smashing through the row of trees with my fist. I get back on the trail, yet I feel as though the dream is fading. I slip into a FA in which I’m voice recording the lucid.

Went to bed around 11:15PM.

Moving On At Work
I'm walking outside at work between buildings, heading away from my main one.
There is an RV setup on a grassy hill where the stairs leading to the visitor meeting center normally is.
My mentor B is there. Getting to see the RV is a sort of right of passage, according to the plot of the dream.
Inside the RV there are a bunch of shoes hanging on the walls on all sides.
There is a man inside the RV that says there is a chemical engineer van as well.
J from marching band is there, and there is also a puppy nearby in the street.
The puppy is smart, and J is playing frisbee with it.
...
Later I'm walking back toward my building.
I'm texting with E who used to work there too.
She's talking about a 4th of July event with the group I recently missed.
I send her some pictures of my girlfriend and I on a pirate ship, vacation.
She's talks about how she is about to have her fourth kid.
I get a sense of relief/closure.
The path that normally leads to my building leads to a different building nearby.
I'm late for a meeting and I've forgotten something. I decide not to go back for it.
E is there now in person and clarifies that she's only having one kid.
I tell her about W and how now I'm a twice uncle.
The meeting room is located in a similar place, but it has two floors instead of one.
I wake up and think about recording the dream and do so.
Then I wake up for real and write down the dream.
Recorded at 4:30AM.

Fragment
Something about deception, dwarves, and World of Warcraft.
Recorded on waking at 7AM.

I’m laying down in a dream and trying to WILD. I relax and find myself in a room and realize a dream is forming. My awareness begins to raise and I walk over to a wall, sticking half of my body inside – I’m lucid. I exit the wall and begin thinking about what I want to do. The dream is still a bit dim, so I want to focus on making in more clear. I begin shouting, “Clarity!”. I make my way down the hallway, phase through a wall and enter another area. It’s still a bit dim. I walk around a bit more, then I shout for clarity once again. The dream fades.

I am participting as a secondary character in a fairly oddparents special. Timmy turner has given up on life and made a wonderland where he exists as a big green cartoon cgi tyrannosarus rex. He is running away from someone but they cut into his side nad pull out a nerve bundle, cutting off the nerves to one of his legs and paralyzing him,. I then notice there is CGI blood and think that is odd for fairly oddparents.

Timmy turner gets on this giant oversized wooden rollercoaster fitting his T-rex form. The roller coaster climbs a hill then runs down into a tunnel in a mountain with like a minecart ride themed coaster. The track comes to a jump, but when the coaster car goes over. It falls down a long shaft and I fall alongside him. During this fall there is this really beautiful chanting. I keep thinking he is going to come to his senses and make a wish deciding that he wants to live.

He splats into the bottom of the mineshaft and dies quite gruesomely. Though the CGI blood has an odd property thats hard to describe. Er… think of like an early 2000s movie with bad cgi like sharkboy and lavagirl or spy kids 3 or something and how they would cgi liquids. Yeah it looked like that. I comment to myself that usually children's media doesn't show blood but sometimes dinosaur media will show blood even if its for kids, but that I think this is overkill.

I then see a girl staring at the scene. I intuitively know she is a very old friend of mine that moved away when I was in pre-elementary. She comments that Timmy Turner lived in hell because he lived in a sitcom and he could never make a wish that actually made his life better because things would always return to the status quo at the end of the episode, and new drama would always arise to instigate the next episode. Therefore he could never live happily or peacefully.

I become lucid and the dream scene changes to a sort of parkway. It is daytime, some kind of modern city with a parkway along a beach. There are lots of dream figures walking, riding bikes, and so on. There is a small concession stand or ice cream shop near by and she gets distracted by it. I say to her. “Well Im lucid now and I’m going to make my own dream with blackjack and hookers.”

I take off and start to fly. I see a large moon in the sky. It looks like Europa and seems to sparkle. I then stop and remember my goal is to spar with Madmonkey. I land and call out, probably louder and more aggressively than I needed to but it works.

“Dream, I want to spar with Madmonkey now.”

A dream figure steps out of the crowd. Tall and fit, curly brown hair and looks to be about college age. He is wearing a light brown shirt with some kind of graphic or design on it. After reassuring me that he is infact MadMonkey and says is really excited for this, He takes a fighting pose and we begin without even asking that I am ready.

He throws a right roundhouse kick. I block. He throws out a bunch of punches. I block. This feels a lot like sparring in my old taekwondo class, something I haven't done in many years. But my body responds almost automatically and I seem to be keeping up. I decide its time to counterattack. I jump, using my rockets on my hands for assitance and get maybe 3-4 meters in the air, then rocket back down at an angle for a ‘kick’ with both legs.

This attack connects and the guy goes down on the pavement. I look at him and see he is unconcious. An older woman points, screams and faints.

I false awaken. I am at my fathers parents house. I go to type of my dream and my laptop screen is broken. My mom is there and says it was exposed to radiation.

Went to bed around 11:00PM.
All recorded at around 4:45AM. I lost a lot because life was busy today and had to wait until the evening to write this.
Plus, my nightstand notes were not very detailed and I underestimated how dark my room would be in the early morning.

I'm at home sitting on the couch with my girlfriend S.
My neck is killing me. She comes over and reveals a red neck pillow she has made for me.
It feels godly when she puts it behind my head.

Fragment
I'm playing a 2D video game that resembles something from the SNES era.
Point of view is from overhead, like The Legend of Zelda.
There is a plot-line that involves time-travel, and when the player traverses eras, the 'future' has a blue-purple styling compared to the standard green-grass look in the present time.

1. Café (LD)
I’m outdoors in a quiet city area. This place feels…dreamlike. I suddenly become lucid. I begin shouting:
“This is a dream” to reinforce it within my mind. I walk forward a bit and notice that people are sitting outside at small square metallic tables outside what appears to be a café. I begin considering practicing some dream control. I begin to head up to one younger man at a table. I snap my finger and go invisible. I then wave my hand directly under his field of view as he’s looking down. He look right through my hand and remains oblivious that I’m there. I then float up and transform into dragon form. I feel and hear my wings beating against the air, however the transformation doesn’t feel very strong. I land, shrink down, and go into cat form. I feel my body go into quadrupedal from, and begin to climb up toward the top of a table. I look at a dream character’s laptop screen and notice a cat on the top left, finding it amusing. I shout “This is a dream” a couple more times, having fun with the process. I continue toward the back of the café area and the area opens up to a larger area. I quickly decide to start searching for genie lamp behind some small walls as the dream begins to feel a bit unstable. I transition into a non-lucid.

2. Harbor in Syrano (LD)
I continue to walk forward in the center of the Syrano main house, and something feels strange. I get the strange sense that I’m actually asleep. I notice dream glow and become lucid. I say “I’m lucid in this place”. I float toward the lanai area and head outside. The room appears to be made of a light colored concrete and appears to be elevated. I begin to think about dream control. I go into crow form, shrinking down massively, feeling my head shrink and compress toward the center, my wings extend and my body pitches forward as my legs retract into crow legs. I walk across the table in crow form, feeling my weight shifting with the crow’s gait. I take fly and begin to glide, feeling an awesome sense of chill freedom. I then think of competition and decide to mess around with other dream control. I head toward the concrete wall toward the edge of the room. There’s a view of a massive body of water many stories below to the right of the wall. I phase right through the wall an emerge on the other side, many meters above the body of water below, gliding. I shout, “Clairty!” seeking to maintain the dream. I consider what to do next, yet the dream fades.

3. Genie Lamps (LD)
I find myself laying in bed. I wish I had another lucid…what if I just relax back into a dream…maybe imagine myself drifting off the bed…I find my dream body moving and I stand up. I’m lucid as a scene of a room beyond begins to form as I gaze through the doorway. I begin to walk through the doorway and the scene solidifies. I continue to walk through a house with white walls and a a tight hallway leading to various rooms. I explore for a bit, then consider where to head, and make my way right into a yard area. As I head out, I see that the yard, with dense grass, extends far to the right. I shout “Clairty!” and float to the back of the yard area. I approach the back section which has many sections which appear to be mini gardening areas with small fences and an area that extends to the left. I remember my goals of finding a genie lamp, rubbing it, and interacting with the genie. I don’t find the lamp around the first fence, however I search a bit more and notice one dark brown one with an interesting shape. I then notice another light gold one with an elegant shape…then another! I wonder which one I should choose. I make my way around, pick up a lamp and rub it…nothing happens. I release the lamp then head farther down, thinking about my goal of finding a dragon companion. I notice to my left in my periphery what appears to be a small green dragon shape, yet head toward the large golden dragon statue in the back of the yard area. I ask it:
“ Can you grant me a dragon companion?” I then ask, “Help me to become lucid more often”.
I leave the area and make my way back to the fence. I reflect on how long the dream feels and how this is what it must feel like for Hufik most night. I scale the fence, then think of flight. I imagine being propelled by jetpacks for fun and rush backward over the yard once again. I then decide to control flight by imagining wings beating. I float back toward the fence and fly downward into the next area which appears to have large buildings. I enter a large structure to the right and go into dragon form. The structure is massive, yet empty and has dense concrete walls. I feel and hear my wings beating as I ascend higher and higher. The ceiling on raises more and more with each beat of my wings. Soon I’m in the interior of a hollow concrete structure roughly sixty stories tall. I decide to ignore phasing through the ceiling and simply phase through the wall.
--The scene goes black, yet I simply wait, knowing a scene will form. I hold my awareness in the void for about a minute…--
I then find myself in a small apartment style room and Bran is standing in front of me.
“I’m gonna get some cocoa then go explore some lucids man!”
I approach the counter where I saw a hot water heater, yet go for the black thermos instead. I notice green tea powder next to it.
“Is this any good?”
He says it is, but I decide not to have it and just grab the cocoa, drinking a bit. I head toward the window.
“Is Uburu Migu in that direction?” I ask pointing diagonally.
Bran: “Yes”
“What’s this place called?”
Bran: “Arowai”
“That’s a strange name…”
I head through the window and fly far down to the left. I enter a large area which appears like somewhat of a mall area that you’d find in a massive airport. There are many people gathered in the central area, massive vaulted ceiling overhead. I head into a room in the right and see many dream characters sitting down, gathered together. I study how real all of their faces look, amazed by it, then leave the area. The dream feels a bit unstable, so I begin rubbing the ground vigorously. The dream stabilized. I fly forward a bit more then head to the right and into another building. As I enter, I decide to practice more dream control. Telekinesis! I see a small ball – somewhat of a children’s toy – with many colorful dots on it. I extend my hand and begin to move it around. It feels like I’m a jedi I think with amusement. I do this for a bit, then use TK to begin move a metallic lever. I head to the right and see Bran going into a fridge. There are a wide variety of drinks in the fridge, all lined up in different colored bottles. I use TK to squirt some liquid from one bottle into the air in an arc, directly into my mouth. It tases great! I then do another…then another! I turn to Bran
“Check out this jedi stuff!” I say laughing
I wake up.

Banjo-Kazooie Remade
I'm seeing a remake of Banjo-Kazooie. It is running in 1440p and 120fps.
The player is at Spiral Mountain and it looks amazing.
There is a spokesperson demoing the game and he goes around Banjo's house to show a secret area.
He makes a point that while there are changes to the remake, it still remains faithful to the original game.
Through this back path, there is an alcove and I can see Gruntilda's hand reaching out from somewhere.
This is meant to prove that the game is remaining faithful, but in waking life there is no such section of the actual game.
Recalled from around 4:30AM.

Investigating M
I'm with my brother A, sister M, and Mom at my Grandma P's condo.
It is the same one where I had the nightmare about the hairy-faceless monster, as well as the one with the crying girl upstairs.
My brother and I suspect that my sister has done something sinister so we make a plan to investigate her room while my Mom is distracting her.
We go up the stairs and find her room with clutter all over as expected. We find a side closet that isn't normally there.
We find that it is set up for her daughter to sleep in. We don't find anything sinister about it.
Recalled from around 4:30AM.

On the end of week 11 and entire week 12 I have a little bit regrestion. Porbably I'm tired after compatition so I will take 2-3 days of rest from my practice.


Dream Recalling
I think that my dreams are a little bit more detailed that before but i'm not sure. Also I think my dream fragments are longer.

I started to think what statistic value suppose to describe my goals. Because usually I have 1 fecund night when I have a lot of dreams and 1 bad night when I have 0 dreams (usually it is caused becaus of my job nature) and avarage value or min/max aren't suitable. Median value will be better.

Week 11
Avarage dream memory - 2
Median - 2
Max dream memory - 4
Min dream memory - 0

Week 12
Avarage dream memory - 2
Median - 2
Max dream memory - 3
Min dream memory - 1

Partway through a dream I entered a sort of virtual world, green like a woodland or jungle that someone had modelled (possibly as an academic project) and added lots of billboards all along it with floral and artistic designs and possibly some jokey / advert ones. It turned out my school friend J [DREAM SIGN: school / school colleagues] was walking along in the environment with me and he told me there was a hidden model of a military leader in an area of dense trees between two paths. I looked there and it was like a really giant statue.

Around this point he told me he was having a lucid dream. I fairly matter-of-factly told him that I must be having one too then. (SEMI-LUCID / PSEUDO LUCID or LUCID DREAM?)
We started climbing up something pretty close to where the statue had been but it was almost like a giant beanstalk though I wasn't paying a lot of attention to it. Instead I was asking him about how he kept from waking up or maybe was asking whether what we were doing would help to keep us from waking up.

I think at that point the dream abruptly changed scene into us climbing up some kind of slightly cramped, gloomy, industrial or urban looking staircase (spiral or rotating flights of stairs) in ISTR either concrete or maybe red painted metal. I think in the back of my mind the idea of pronlonging the dream or avoiding waking up was still there and the dream seemed to literally fragment like these little rounded bits of glass or bits of an image with ISTR blackness maybe between. I possibly have a very vague memory of an outdoor concrete scene with white metal railings on a fence (like a school car park or something, maybe with a school or library building to the left) [though this could be a fragment from another dream].

Then it faded to nothing and I tried to see if I could get back into another dream but I just woke up after a few moments.

I'm going to call this one a PSEUDO-LUCID simply because I didn't get to exercise any interesting conscious control, act on or think of any dream goals (other than an attempt at dream prolonging / dream duration control), or do any reality checks.

Went to bed around 11:45PM

Directionless at the Arcade
I'm at a lively arcade with either my friend H or my ex H. It is a two-player game, but she is watching. I lost a lot of recall here because I waited too long to record.
I'm playing a game where one controls a green lightening bolt that quickly moves across the screen.
If it impacts a wall, you lose. There are many obstacles and the speed is high, so it is difficult.
I die multiple times and end up on my last life. I realize on my second last life that I can change direction mid-move, not committing to a direction.
I can do that repeatedly, allowing me to dodge obstacles as the screen scrolls that I couldn't before.
I am getting much further this time and hopes are high. Very exciting.
I finally die, and I reach for a bag of coins to continue as the countdown to do so speeds up.
I get the impression that I know the coins are mine and it is OK to use them, but also that H doesn't know that and is surprised I am reaching for them.
Recalled from earlier in the night.

Went to bed around 11:30PM.

New Life
I'm with my family at a hospital. I recall Grandma P and sister-in-law K in particular.
There is a glass viewing case that has the newborn baby girl in it.
The baby is "K Junior". I bring my Grandma P over to make sure she gets to see the baby, and she tells me she already has.
We are rushing down a hall, and at the end of the hall there is a room similar to the small band room from high school.
There is a group assembled here. My friend H is part of it. I think the subject of the dream has changed at this point.
H has a new girlfriend and it is an exciting mystery about who it is. There are other members of our friend group there too.
...
Later I'm rushing outside to a car. It's a downpour of rain.
I'm carrying my saxophone case. My Dad is driving the car.
He won't pop the trunk so I can't put it away. I'm frustrated because he won't help me.
It seems he wants me to bring the saxophone case in the car with me.
Recalled from earlier in the night.

Random Dancing
I'm at a dance studio. It resembles the one my girlfriend and I went to a few year back.
I'm with my friend H again and we are in a line leading to the front desk.
I'm nervous because I'm bad at dancing.
There is a screen behind the desk and it has a randomized list revealing who will be dancing with who.
H is paired with someone else, and I don't recall who my partner is.
Recorded around 7AM.

Axe-Steal
I'm playing a Zelda game. It resembles Tears of the Kingdom. My girlfriend S is watching me play.
We are in a lava-themed area. I'm currently fighting a tall monster.
There is a new partner (similar to Navi, Tatl, KoRL, Midna, Fi etc) that has the ability to steal enemy weapons mid-strike.
In a dramatic and exciting moment, I execute this ability just as the monster is thundering down a massive axe toward me.
The axe gets a green glow (similar to how the ultra-hand works) and teleports to Link's hands. S thinks it is awesome. We're both excited about it.
At that moment, the game slows down, and the background is red. The silhouette of Link holding the axe and the action lighting makes the moment all the more epic.
I strike, the monster falls, I win.
Recorded around 7AM.

I read my 'dream journal' and it says: 'I had a chain of 10 lucids.' No I didn't...that doesn't make sense Nose plug...I'm' lucid. Suddenly I find myself in darkness. I see the faint outline of a door to my right. I open it by turning the knob and move through. I figure a dream scene will materialize soon, but I set to stabilizing the dream. I continue to shout: "Clarity!" and begin rubbing the walls next to me. I continue to rub vigorously for some time and sense a very dim bit of light coming from a curved window to my left. It seems as though I'm on a walkway on a second floor. Maybe this is Meadow... I begin rubbing the carpeting beneath me, moving my dream body a great deal, waiting for a scene to form. I feel myself waking up.
