Dream 1: Flea Market Carnival

Mom and/or Dad and I are at a flea market/carnival type place. The flea market part seems to be indoors, and out back there are rides and games. I think it started out with Mom and I stopping in here for some reason. We had been heading to a business to the south. We went up a road that climbed up a hill, and Mom was telling me that we had been there before. But I don’t remember it. She thinks maybe I wasn’t with her when she went there before. We stop in to the business, and while we are there I decide to look around. The store is owned by someone that we used to know. Mom comes with me as I look around. There is an aisle of candy. We keep walking around, and now I think it is Dad that is with me and not Mom. The store is set up so that there are two bays, or wings. We walk down one, and go outside. The carnival is out there. There is a carousel. One of the songs it is playing is “And the Band Played On”. I sing along, but as I start singing the music stops playing.

Dad wants to join a race, I think. We walk around to the back of the building, where you are supposed to be able to sign up for the race. But in order to run, you need special shoes, and they don’t have enough pairs. While we are here, I think Dad realizes that there is the other side to the store. I tell him I’m going to go in and check it out. I go in and look around, but this side seems to be mostly furniture. It’s one of those places with labyrinth-like rooms. I walk around a bit and decide to come back after not seeing much interesting stuff. But I’m a bit concerned I won’t be able to find my way back out. I find a room that I came through...

At some point there is a canal inside the store, I think. On this canal is a sailboat. There are people on this sailboat who seem to be running from someone. It is discovered that they are on this boat, so they sail down the canal for a bit to try to escape. Then they jump out and roll down a hill, I think. There is a scene in which calculations are being made involving how far they roll down the hill and how that relates to how visible they are. At this point, the “people” are also Santa Claus hats, and I’m tossing them down the hill. One of them is about to make it to an area of tall weeds, where they might be able to escape...

At some point, it seems that I was back with my Dad (or someone else) at the race area. We were moving on from the foot race, and we see that there is a dog race taking place. It is all puppies, I think. My friend M—is officiating.

It seems like there were gravestones, or monuments of some sort inside the store (unless this was a different dream). There is something about a ring on a string. Some kids are doing something with this. Anyway, we follow the string, and it goes down through a register vent. It apparently leads to this place with gravestones (or so my notes say). My brother and I are doing something with these, I think. There is something about how “everyone takes care of their own pet”. There are pets associated with the gravestones, suggesting that there is more to these monuments than meets the eye. I get down on my hands and knees and start investigating...




Fragment 1: Sewage

Something about sewage being drained into a pond down a hill a little bit from a house. This is against a regulation or something, and they have to stop draining the sewage there. People are unhappy about this, but I point out that draining raw sewage into a pond is unhealthy. I mention that it might have been better if it were a creek with flowing water.

Looking for tea, or plants to use for tea. This might have been on the hillside above the pond where the sewage was being drained.

Fragment 2: A Bit Lost

Walking back to my grandparents’ former house from somewhere. It’s one of those situations where I am far away but on foot for some reason. I also don’t seem to know how to get back. But I have a GPS, and I bring up the map. I look for a way to get to a major road. At some point I’m driving again. I think there are people supposed to be following me. I pull over and wait for them to catch up, but they don’t. I get annoyed, thinking it was discourteous of them. Then I’m not sure if they were behind me or in front of me.

Fragment 2: Kid and Dog

There is a knock at the door. I look out, and there is a kid standing there. I think his mother is standing behind him. When I open the door, he says something like “can you please watch your dog more carefully?” It is explained that a dog apparently bit him, or something. He thinks it was our dog. He points out our dog. As we talk, I get the idea that he was messing with the dog, and the dog either defended itself or was playing. I get annoyed with the kid’s attitude and say something about how people who mess with other people’s dogs deserve to be bit. I even say something like “they even deserve to be put into the hospital”!

Fragment 3: Looking for a Pencil Sharpener

In the lab. I need a pencil to write something down, but my pencil is dull. I go to the lab next door to see if they have a pencil sharpener. They do indeed, but while I’m there I realize that I have one in my pocket.

Fragment 4: Final Episodes

I decide to watch the last two episodes of Andromeda (which might also be Blakes 7 in this dream). The final episodes seem to go back to an original cast that was in the pilot episode. I might be watching this on a huge screen

Fragment 5: Holograms

Someone is showing off these sheets of plastic that have those holograms on them – the ones where as you tilt the surface you see a different picture. This one is fancy, in that you see more than two pictures as you tilt the surface.

I woke up for a WBTB and took 4mg galantamine and 300 mg Alpha-GPC.

Winter Competition 2024 Five (MILD) 01.11.2024

I spontaneously become lucid and start flying. I remember there is a competition and that I need to do my three step task. While flying I reach behind my back and grab something. I pull forward a small lemon. I take a bite out of it and it isn't very flavorful. I then put my hand forward like Superman and fly super fast. I hear the air rushing past my ears. Now I remember my personal goal is to take off a VR headset that is simulating the dream. I reach up and feel a vr headset that is much smaller than current waking life products. I take it off and... nothing happens. My view is replaced with the same view from before. Huh.

I fly down to a city and get caught up in a dream plot that I have mostly forgotten now.

My first LD of this competition
I returned at 21:30 worried about performing my LD rituals. I was curiously and at the same time impulsively focused on trading.

I was falling asleep and waking up back and forth. Then came a point where I started seeing hypnogogic images, I began seeing things which I cannot recall at the moment but I remember seeing my dead brother. We were running around the house, dream scenes and images changed several times. I was so weak to write it down in order not to forget and at the same time I was curious about being in total control cos I was waking up and falling back asleep cos I was trading with my phone while laying down at the same time

Here comes the LD
I saw myself in what looks like a couridour/passage of a building, a prayer house (diabolical). I was walking from the entrance which is at the west of the house to the east. I was thinking in my head how diabolical and scarry this man/men could be when it struck me that this must be a dream, I immediately turned around and faced the entrance while walking towards it.

A girl was seated far in front I instantly thought of teleporting towards her. It didn't work at first try though but I saw myself outside the house after that. I was so excited that I pushed down Dcs that were riding bicycle, I said let me use this opportunity to do something useful. I tried but didn't do anything useful, I didn't even remember my LD goal.

I had other fragments that I can't remember...

Winter Competition Night 4

Finally a full dream!

Fragment: I am living in some cheap area and know some weird fashion folk. I have a boyfriend and live in a small dark apartment. I talk to a friend about a manga and say slice of life seems to be fashionable lately - there are loads floating around with similar art style.

Then I am on a canal boat with my family. We're going along the canal and the boat is rocking a lot. The water is rough. I see a great blue wave splash up and hit the front window (which narrowboats don't have) with a lot of force. The boat rocks and all the passengers gasp and scream. Boat is a bit red and green on the inside. The water rises up again as we go under a bridge. There seem to be quite a lot of low bridges rather too close together.

We reach our destination and get off the boat onto the towpath. The canal seems much wider here and its layout makes less sense. It's more than twice as wide and on the far side only there are more bridges cutting off that area of the water - as if it is splitting into pipes. I see a man moving quickly through the water with only his head above the surface, grinning widely. This makes perfect sense to me. We are here to go kayaking - except that in this dream it's a bit different. The kayak along with most of the body (and the paddle) sinks under the surface of the water and you can paddle around at high speed with only your head and neck above the surface.

We get onto the water and I immediately set off, paddling fast and hurtling around in a spiral across the canal. I don't notice a thing until I open my eyes and see I am about to crash into the brick wall of one of the further tunnels, but I manage to pull myself back with my paddles and rush straight into the tunnel instead. Looking back I can see the instructor laughing at me. The way I'm steering the kayak doesn't feel realistic, looking back - I've kayaked before but this feels more like steering in a video game than paddling in real life

As I turn back and come out of the tunnel, I come almost face to face with a blonde seemingly middle-aged woman. Evidently I can see a bit more of her - seems her body above the waist is out of the water since she's wearing a lanyard and plastic name tag. It says "My name is Bridget B[can't remember]."
"I talk like this:"
Underneath that line is her name rewritten with an odd alphabet composed of smiley faces. They are squashed and warped in different directions to correspond to letters of the alphabet. I remember examining this a bit more closely, comparing these to the English letters of her name - I decided it made sense.

She might be an instructor too. I look back at her and see her name label shows even more information now, about her life. I'll paraphrase what I can remember:

"When I was...,..." I can barely remember any of the first column. Something about her mental state and how she ended up writing with smiley faces when she was younger. The second column says: "Now, I'm 63. I spent time at X hospital and got much better. Now I teach kayaking here and blah blah." There was also a third column but I don't remember a thing about it. But I do remember reading this whole label and I remember how it looked: perfect English and the lines were spaced evenly. That wouldn't have helped me become lucid...

Hand-drawn artwork:

I did a drawing but right now the drawing is at home and I'm not... And I want to publish this before it gets too late. I'll add the drawing later. For now please give me the benefit of the doubt and let me claim the points.

Bridget, by the way, did not look 63

I was watching a movie about two teenage boys who snuck into a train yard. In order to hide from the train engineers they climbed onto the bottom of the train. In order to comfortably hide they had to sort of wedge their heads inside this suspension bracket in the train wheels. The train then hit a bump in the tracks which jolted the suspension cutting their bodies off their heads and leaving their disembodied and partially crushed heads visible. The dream lingered on the gorey scenery for awhile with scenes of a crow coming to eat them.

...

Dream fragment: I broke my meditation totem.

Will write up points and post to the comp tomorrow.

I was walking down a path with pretty plants on either side. I look to my right and see a dinosaur of some kind giving birth. Someone next to me starts a short small talk "Isn't it beautiful?" I respond with something like yeah something like that. I then continue down the path and I'm holding 2 frames with squares cut in them. There's a slug on the bottom frame and I try my best to not squish it. I manage not to, and I'm about to deposit it on one one of the potted plants on a shelf I'm approaching.

I'm in my cousins house. My favorite cousin asks my aunt where the margarita thing is. "It's in the cupboard with the candy. But you better not be using it for what I think your using it for."

I'm in a house, I look to my left and there's a shelf full of guitars. I see a beautiful brown bass with 5 strings, so I grab it and try to play it. The body is like a foot thick so I have a very hard time playing it normally. I set it down on the table, and pluck all 6 of the strings. They're all out of tune, so I decide to tune the first 4 EADG and leave the rest how they are. I turn the tuning key while plucking the first string and I realize i don't know what it's supposed to sound like. I find an amp like device in front of me so I plug it in, and try t tune the string again. I failed, and now I feel like I'm trespassing, so I go to the fridge and grab a coconut water, and walk to the door.

Got a brief LD and fragments today. Can't say I'm too happy with these results, let alone comfortable to share some things below. But, the show must go on. I'm gonna have to rest up again before I use more thorough sleep interruptions...

Scrap Group 1
KOF game.

Talking about a Sonic game?

Dream 1 - Bathroom Shrink and Unhappy Naughty

The visuals were slightly blurred. I was in a bathroom similar to one at home, daylight glaring through the window. It was a bit wider, and the countertop was made of glossy wood instead of laminate.

Then, an unknown person barges in, a woman of average build, skin light colored, her face covered by a heap of messy dark colored hair. Her shirt also light colored, and she'd red plaid pajama pants. She seats herself on the counter, and seems to stare blankly towards the shower.

My immediate thought was "who the hell is this?" Self reflection soon prompted awareness. I try to get a closer look at the woman's face. No way to do it just by sight. I was about to part her hair, but hesitated; I'd worried I'd get jump-scared by some dream demon, and was in no mood to deal with such. So instead, I shrunk myself down to a few inches for the fun of it. From the floor, I leaped atop the counter alongside the now giant woman. I slap her leg to provoke her, but she remained unresponsive. I jumped back down. It's then the woman reanimates, and sets herself down. Only narrowly did I avoid getting stepped on. She then walks out of the bathroom.

Shortly after, the giant lady returns. Only now, she's a blonde, eyes wide-set, nose pointed and a bit long, hair naturally straight though still unkempt. I'm asked a mundane question. Something about if I've seen some object or another? Anyway, I give a casual negative response.

Spoiler for WARNING: Brain-bleach level of naughtiness. Reader beware:

I lose awareness, as now I'm thinking with my, um, other head. I jump onto the giant woman's bosoms to initiate the obvious. The lady tumbles to the floor. But, when I glance to her legs, I see a wang flopping out of the slit of her pants. Hasty unconscious intention made me reimagine it was just a "massaging tool", and so it was. I barked that she toss that out. There was a moment where it seems she'd comply. But, the woman kept strongly insisting on its use. She then forces me closer that thing. To this, I make a loud condemnation at the internet as I shake my fist in the air. The dream collapsed shortly after.

Scrap Group 2
In a big, dark colored living room. On retrospect, the layout had strong similarities to my work site. Anyway, my brothers were around. I felt unclean. I look for the bathroom at a doorway to the far left. This happened to be a bedroom. The person there shut the door and locked it. I then looked to a door in the far right.

Something about a Pokemon game on an old CRT screen computer.

In an alleyway in a developing Indian town during daytime. Some kind of emergency was occurring. A younger guy from the region, someone whom I was supposedly acquainted, has me follow him to safety. Just then, he's accosted by a bearded man in a turban. The two bicker for a bit. The younger man tells me there's a language barrier between the two. I was told the older man spoke "Tangrit". I pull out a laptop, and try translating via Google some basic sentences like "who are you" and "what is the problem". But, I kept badly mistyping any statements, and took longer still to correcting these. Both men got very impatient.
