Autumn Competition 2023 - Night 4

1. Giant Djinn (LD)
I find myself in center of the first floor of the main house in Meadow. Why are there so many people over this late? Who are these people actually? This is strange...Nose plug...breathe...I'm dreaming! I'm excited and lift up to begin flying. I fly into the family room area where my parents are reclining on the couch. I fly over the center and say:
"Check out what I'm doing guys!" finding it amusing. I feel that showing them is a waste of time, so I return to the kitchen area as I begin to think about scoring points. I'll get something to eat from the fridge before I go adventure! I go into the freezer deciding I'll find ice-cream to get some points but decide on chocolate bars instead. I open the freezer, pull out a top shelf, and finally pull out three large Hershey's chocolate bars. I put two away and hold onto one as I make my way to the front of the house. Oh...I should take a bite for the 'eat/drink something' points. I take a bit, out of the corner, and it tastes pretty good! It's almost like real chocolate. I decide to go to the front and head toward the doors, then slightly to the right, phasing through the wall with little thought. I find myself in the front yard, on the patio, in a quite vivid dreamscape. I head a few steps down the walkway and think about earning more points. I imagine myself becoming a Djinn, and suddenly begin to enlarge to an enormous size. I hear a primal roar as my body enlarges to roughly eleven feet tall, my head towering above the shrubbery. I feel my shoulders getting massive. I check my reflection in the shadows on the grass and notice a turban as well as my lower body tapering to wisps of mist, my dream body levitating. I continue to head a bit farther into the front yard and think of element manipulation. I go to cast a tornado, yet nothing happens to my surprise. I walk a bit farther down the front yard and consider heading toward the Greek Temple area, yet decide this would be too far for now. I see a small black car head down the street to my right, and go for mass telekinesis, yet the car doesn't lift off the ground and I feel a slight mixture of frustration and confusion about the dream's resistance. I then consider element manipulation via creating quakes with an earth stomp. I imagine my dream body having a leg and foot and stomp then ground, yet the quake doesn't ensue. I feel that I'm waking up.

*False Awakening

2. Black Cat Reflection (LD)
I'm in the basement of the main house in Meadow. I attempt to record the "Giant Djinn" lucid on a mobile app, yet the app keeps guiding me through setup screens. I then get a text from H saying: "What are you up to?" Why is H texting me in the middle of night? This doesn't make sense. Nose plug...breathe...I'm dreaming!! I take in the view of the basement which closely resembles the waking life basement. I set my mind to stabilizing the dream. I shout:
"Clarity Now! Stabilize!"
I take a few more steps and job my memory for dream goals and consider how to earn points. I'll do some levitation meditation for my 'Old Personal Goal'! I focus my mind, cross my legs in meditation posture, and levitate up about four to five feet, holding this pose in the air for a few seconds. I lower back down and consider additional goals. I decide on 'Full Transformation' and begin to shrink down to very small size and feel my dream body becoming a mouse. I then reflect: I keep doing mouse and Djinn...let me try something new. I feel that my front limbs are still in front of my dream body as I shrink down, attempting to become a cat. I have a view of a Final Fantasy VIII figurine front childhood - Zell Dincht - laying on the floor right in front of me. I turn to my left to a black object on the floor. I catch my reflection and notice a vivid black cat staring back at me. I look at my dream body and take in the features, along with the two different color eyes gazing back at me. It reminds me of a cat I had years ago. I then hear a cat screech and notice the figure in the reflection is making different movements then me. I start to feel vibrations and wake up.

3. The Scorpion Dreamer (LD)
I continue to practice yoga inversions in the opposite corner of the large room. I go into a scorpion pose, and male dream character is to my right. I say:
"This is a dream"
My awareness begins to rise. This really is a dream! I stand up and begin to consider dream goals and earning points. I find myself in a large, dim square room with several pieces of furniture strewn about. It feels slightly like a warehouse of sorts. I look around the room and notice a few tan candles in the center of the room, situated at various levels on top of different pieces of furniture. I reach my arm out for telekinesis, yet the candles don't budge. I walk a bit farther into the room and go to pull out the Dark Woods wand. I see my arm raise up, yet there's no wand there. I continue to float into the next room with intent to basic summon a machine to make some cocoa to drink. I enter the room, look around some desks to my left, yet don't find
a drink dispenser. I do find a computer, however, and hear some music that sounds like lofi playing. I click the mouse a couple of times and the screen changes. I then crank up what appears to be a volume knob and the music starts getting loud! It sounds great! I turn around and head to an area with several brand new offices in a hallway. I see very thick glass on the outside of the office in front of me. I fly up and phase through it. I find myself in a pristine office with light tinges of sage and gray. I feel this was too easy, so I look for a thicker wall. I approach the desk to the left of the vivid room which has something resembling a lava lamp on it. I phase through the wall and into the next room. I approach the next desk and see a picture which has my boss on it. I fly up a bit, yet the dream resists me getting to the top. I pull the entire desk down, climb up, and phase into the wall. The dream goes into a black void. I maintain my awareness for nearly a minute, visualizing a druid sanctuary. I maintain the imagery, relaxing into it. I start feeling some sensations from what I believe to be my waking body. I continue to try to relax, focusing on the imagery, but I feel stronger vibrations and wake up.

Night 3

I didn’t recall any along the day until I opened the refrigerator to see my daughter didn’t buy any other cup of her apparently beloved dessert

…/I open the refrigerator to see my kid brought more cups of the dessert that she didn’t eat for more than a year and are still on the upper corner as a reminder to show her great love for it. I start complaining about that fact with sarcasms/…

Night 4

…/back in my teens, catching up with a friend. He’s talking about his father and how he killed him because of he didn’t want to hear his arguments/…

…/It’s a huge house, I’m walking all around looking for something, possibly recollecting something, not sure. We have to set all in order and there are still two circles left to be finished/…

…/I’m on the street, close to one of the campus of the university of my youth, performing sort of sorcery or ritual with somebody dressed with long hooded clothings. We’re drawing big circles on the floor, with a broom that leaves a line of characters on the floor, turning our body 360 degrees to paint the whole circle with lines that must be perfectly matched in order to have a continuous closed line. It must avoid the evil spirits to come in or something like that. It reminds me an old film about an apprentice that has to spend 3 nights closed in a locked room with a coffin containing the dead body of a witch. I see the signs that form the border of the circle, twist at my will to match their ends. Some characters look like ‘m’s other are just straight lines. I have to finish two more circles of those/…

…/In the kitchen, somebody is washing the dishes and putting them on the dish holder. Turns it downwards and all of the cutlery falls on the floor. I come out of the kitchen and find a coworker is about to get into the bathroom. I stop her to tell something and cannot avoid the impulse to kiss her. She kisses me back and with a gentle push she shows me that she’s in a hurry/…

I haven't collected good data yet for WBTBs, so I am making another attempt at that now. Here is the go-forward schedule to test 6hr/10m. The idea is that balancing WBTBs with 3 days rest and 2 days on will help maintain sleep rhythm. I've also made it such that I will have 4 WBTB attempts from now until the end of Autumn Comp. So I've set myself up to potentially break my points record again. Time will tell on that one. This test will have Galantamine used in each WBTB, so consistency is maintained. I've also removed Choline because the pill bottle smells fishy. It always smelled, so it is possible that I had a bad batch from the start. It was probably bad judgment to use it for that reason. Either way, new tests are using Galantamine alone. Future testing will look at use/non-use of supplements and rest/wake timings and their impact on favorable lucid dreaming results.

Goal of the test is to prove or disprove this statement: While on a consistent 8 hour sleep schedule, performing a 6hr/10m WBTB with 8Mg Galantamine will yield favorable lucid dreaming results for theshirecat.

04.09
This day wasn't really good. At morning I didn't remembered any dream. I was trying to remind but nothing happened. But at evening right before I started meditation I restored one scene from first dream and one scene from second dream

DF #1
I was on ship's brigde probably as a watch officer. I was watching some porn on computer during my watch and somebody catch me.

DF #2
I was a child or teenager and I was playing on allotment



05.09
This day was much better than last one. This time I remembered two almost fully dreams.


Dream #1
I was in my childhood home but I wasn't a child. We had some construction work in garden, something like footpath restoration but it was on hold (I mean the work didn't happen in my dream but I saw prepered area and prepered materials). I saw fire hydrant near porch. It made me some emotional discomfort because I knew we don't have any hydrant in our garden.
[THIS PART OF DREAM IS FORGOTTEN]
My grandma come to me. She told to me I'm moving out. I told her I have no place to live right now. She answered me I can live on unused flat of my uncle for while. At this moment my perception was moved on the street where my uncle have tat flat. This flat doesn't exist in reality but I didn't notice that in my dream. After short time my perception come back to moment where I was in garden. I come to car parking place. Near I saw second hydrant.
The scenery changed. Now I was probably in kitchen. I was washing plates above important documents of my mom. My dad told me I should pay more atention what I'm doing. I took the documents to my hands. I looked like book with blue cover and simple black title in A4 format. I looked inside. The first page had photo of my mother and her personal data like in ID Card. Rest of pages looked like police archive. My mother's face on photo looked different than in reality but I didn't notice that fact.


Dream #2
I was comming back from doctor. I was riding on bike in oldtown of undefined city. For sure it wasn't my home city. A head of me I saw white church with blue roof but I didn't put atention on this. Instead I pay attention on street name. It had name of my father. But in this dream I was part of mafia familly so my dream father was different one. I saw that nobody are aware how important I'am here. That made me smile

Drinking Twix
I'm in a grocery store the resembles Target, near one of the aisles.
I see a woman carrying a pop bottle that is larger than standard, but smaller than a two liter.
It is Twix-flavored Sprite.
I say "WOAH WHAT KIND OF FLAVOR IS THAT?!" and she offers to let me try it.
It's actually pretty good.

I was running from an intruder at an underground bunker. As I was running I looked down and realized I had no shoes on. I decided to turn back around to the previous area I was in to retrieve them. Once I got back there I noticed a kid who was running as well and came to the conclusion that he was the intruder son. He was very young no older than 5 years old. I skipped past him knowing that the intruder was close behind me.

That's when I began to hear a few gun shots. I was almost at the exit after going up a few stairs. As I'm about to reach the last exit he somehow just glitched himself right behind me as if he teleported here. We then struggle against one another in a grapple as he tries to reach for his gun. I thought it was bizarre that he caught up to me like that. I was certain there was no way he would reach me.

I then said this has to be a dream because it's just too convenient that he would show up like that. He knocks me to the ground and now has the advantage. But now that I have lucidity and know it's a dream I told him it's over. I raise my hand and use telekinesis to zap him out of existence. I look around my environment and slowly lost my lucidity as the dream continue to a non-lucid dream.

9:30pm-12:35am
-I appear to be in my bedroom and everything is dark as if all the lights are turned off. I am remembering that while I'm looking at my watch that this is a dream. Now, I'm seeing my watch change from Orange to a bluish purple and I'm seeing a picture of the dream views owl on my watch. I am remembering thinking to myself, "That's a few points.". I'm now looking that's my right foot and I'm seeing that it's having some sort of orange or about it and I'm seeing a picture of a fox. Towards the wall of my bedroom furthest from me it seems I could continue that is very dark. It's sort of like a cave but, I'm not really sure if it is.
