    1. Comp Night 10: Finally, some lucidity!

      by , 01-17-2024 at 10:17 PM
      Bedtime about 10:30-11:00. WBTB around 2:30 (bathroom, scripture reading, about 20 minutes).

      Fragment 1: Bus

      On a bus. It starts out as something from Lurkers.io, where I need to get to a specific place. This involved finding my way out of a space that I’m currently in and finding a path there. Once I get there, I’m supposed to make a radio broadcast or something. My brother seems to be in charge...

      Dream 1: Murder Mystery

      Someone has been murdered. It is a woman – an actress apparently, or some sort of entertainer. She has been killed in the upstairs of some place. I go up to investigate. I begin looking around to see if there are any weapons or things that might be used as weapons handy. It turns out that there are a bunch of knives. It seems that someone threw a knife and killed this woman. I try to get more information. I talk to someone whose native language is Swahili, and am having trouble getting her to tell me if the body was found with the head toward the kitchen area or if it was lying the opposite direction. There is some trouble communicating. Finally, I figure out that it wasn’t lying either way, but had fallen down through the floor so that the head was sticking up through the floor and the rest of the body was dangling down from the ceiling of the floor below.

      I go downstairs. Family and friends are coming in for a sort of funeral/memorial. I start talking to people, trying to gather evidence. I introduce myself to several different people, and eventually zero in on a lady who is a “property manager” for the family. I don’t really know what a property manager does, but I figure it might give her a motive to commit the crime. Also, she’s cute. She has an animal with her on a leash. I can’t figure out if it’s a Canada goose or a dog. I decide that it’s a goose, because it has webbed feet. I say to her “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a goose on a leash before.” She looks at me with a patient smile and says “It’s a dog”. That’s a little embarrassing. But I keep talking to her, and try to explain that I’m tired, or something. Still the dog does look kind of like a goose, and it’s fur seems to be more like feathers.

      We go somewhere. My memory here is a little vague, but it seems to involve some girls on a couch. Something with slime in a tub.

      (Not sure if this is part of the above dream or not). My brother is talking to someone. This person becomes violent, and starts hitting him. I decide to intervene, and try punching the guy. He seems to be really quick though, and dodges my punches. He and my brother start fighting. I grab a bottle of wine or something, and try to hit this guy on the head. I think I eventually succeed.

      Dream 2: Dad at Conference (Lucid)

      Looking for a bathroom. I’m walking with my Mom, or someone. They go into a women’s bathroom. I try to keep going, but there is something with the doors and the hallway all leading into the women’s room. I go to a different area, looking for the men’s room. This turns out to be the wrong area, but I see a sign pointing to “restrooms” so I figure that might help. I follow the sign.

      Now I’m in a conference (possibly the same dream, but I’m not sure). There are a lot of people here, and a man walks by that looks like my Dad. It doesn’t make sense that my Dad would be there, but who knows? I decide to do a reality check though. I try counting my fingers, and find that I have trouble doing so. I try multiple times, and keep having trouble. I become lucid! Remembering a goal that I have had, I find my “Dad” again and ask him what his story is. I don’t remember getting much of a coherent answer though.

      Hmm...is this even possible???-_a90a9b99-7283-4d0c-b47a-3837682f8c90.jpg

      Woke up around 6:30 and took some notes on my phone. Have had trouble getting back to sleep (not an intentional WBTB). It’s now 7:12. I had some milk and donuts.

      Fell asleep not too long after the above note. Had the following dreams:


      Dream 3: Trying the “Merging” Technique (Lucid)

      I find myself awake on the couch. My friend D- is sitting next to me. I look over at his laptop, and see that he is getting on Dreamviews and checking out the competition thread. Then he starts watching Attack on Titan, and I figure it’s because of the competition. I go outside.

      (Maybe part of the same dream, but I’m not sure). Outside, I try counting my fingers. I have trouble doing this, even with multiple tries. So, I think I try a nose pinch. I can still breathe. I become lucid. The dream seems to shift to my Grandparents’ old house, and I try flying. I jump off of a step and hover a bit, but I have a bit of trouble flying. Then I decide to try my goal of summoning a character and taking over his body. I try summoning the TV detective Monk, with whom I used to identify and with whom this trick used to work. I try calling for Monk several times, and then decide to tell myself that when I go around the next corner I’ll see him. I look around the corner, but I don’t see him. I think I might try to pretend he’s there anyway, and do the “merging” thing.


      Dream 4: Late Night Class and Movies

      (The following might have been part of the same dream, or might have been separate fragments. I’ll count them as one, since the point difference won’t be much either way).

      Waking up. My mother suggests a shirt for me to wear. I go outside, I think. I have a late class (about 10:00pm), so even though I seem to have slept through a lot of the day it doesn’t worry me too much. I’ll be up pretty late. Some friends are going to watch something on TV around 2:00am. I think about joining them after my class.

      Some people want to go watch some horror movies. They have some reason for doing this, I forget exactly why. There is a horror movie marathon at a movie theater. It seems to be classics, like the Mummy, etc. Most of the people going to the movie are dressed in what seems to me to be stereotypical horror movie costumes from around the 1940s. This includes people dressed in Middle Eastern/South Asia garb, and/or British Colonial uniforms (not sure why these were stereotypical horror garb to me).

      Fragment 2: Two Dads

      My Dad is at home. Another guy comes along, who is apparently my new Dad coming home from work. My old Dad is relaxing in the recliner when the new Dad shows up. They seem to be on good terms, and shake hands.

      Dream 5: Visiting M-

      I have some spare time, and decide to fly to Africa to visit my friend. We look around her house and yard, and I ask how much of the property she owns. She explains that she used to own more, but it was sold. Also, her brother used to live in the house in front of her, but had to sell his house. So, the family used to have a nice chunk of land all together, but now she just has this smaller plot. Walking around out back, it is very soggy ground. I’m thinking she could have a garden, and then I think maybe asparagus would grow in this marshy area. My friend comes out of the house with a planter, and sets it by the door. Then I see that she has a decent sized raised bed in the back.

      Dream 6: Lord of the Rings

      My friend D-, I think, suggesting that we watch something more appropriate than something else we had been watching. I’m not sure if he means Attack on Titan. Anyway, I start watching the Lord of the Rings (a cartoon version, apparently). “Waking up” in the morning, I try to finish watching it before getting started for the day. I’m watching it on a television up above the kitchen sink, and when my Mom comes along I think about stopping it but I’m too lazy to reach up to the TV or to try and find the remote control. Someone talks about how the Lord of the Rings is like grad school, or like research. In other words, it takes a long time and a lot of work to make even small progress.

      Dream 7: Girl and Signs

      There is a girl sitting next to me. There seems to have been some conversation about her size. There is also something about signage. Some kind of clever sign that warns about nudity, or something. I think it’s a pretty nice sign, so I try to make my own, expanding on the theme of the sign. I put this up along a road, but when I look at it, it doesn’t look as nice as I thought. Also, I have put it on other people’s property without asking them. I decide to take the signs down (which involve shooting them with lasers or something). I drive down the road “taking down” the signs. One of them is a little harder to reach, and I pull into a parking lot to try to turn around and get a better try at it. I spend some time circling around the parking lot, and then try to pull back out onto the road. There is a guy sitting there, kind of blocking my view of oncoming traffic.

      Fragment 3: Watering Plants

      Watering the plants in my house. Someone else might be there with me.

      Fragment 4: Guy with Orange Stuff Coming Out of His Eye

      “You beast!” the man yelled. I don’t know exactly who he was yelling at or why. He might have been yelling at me. I think I was criticizing or lecturing him for something, maybe trying make him feel guilty. Anyway, at some point I roll him over, and some orange stuff oozes out of his eye. I collect some of this on my finger, either to show him or to show someone else. This horrifies that person. The orange stuff, apparently, is some liquid form of someone’s rage.

    2. Winter Comp 2024 17.01 (LD but nothing special)

      by , 01-17-2024 at 09:20 PM
      Aware part

      Today I remembered zero dreams but also I slept today only about 6h. At 7pm I set up alarm clock for 30 minutes - I wanted to meditate. It was just for myself (not for competition) because I knew that probably I will just fall asleep. I was right - I fell asleep after about 20 minutes and woke up at 7:30pm.
      I stayed in bed for while and again I fell asleep but this time I had dream:

      I was typing with my friend on discord server. I felt very dizzy like after alcohol. It was challenging to type with sense in that state. After few moments my dream "ended".
      I was lying in bed like during WILD attempt. I knew that I'm in dream but I lost my memories about fragment with typing with my friend. I was preparing to wake up from bed so I switched on room light. Something happened, the light switched on but in defferent way. It was like from other room and the light come through eyelid. I started to think that maybe this isn't the dream.
      I woke up to check what happened - I totally forgot about RC. I went to kitchen and I saw my mom. And in front door I saw my father.
      I woke up again. I was still in dream but I didn't recognized that fact. I tried WILD again. I got hipnagogs inside my dream but before I tried do something REM has ended.
      This time I woke up for real. I was so confused that I was unable to recognize if I'm in reality or not

    3. Night of Tuesday 1/16/24 (Comp Night 11)

      by , 01-17-2024 at 04:53 PM (Dreamlog)
      Desert Cave Adventure:
      I'm driving with my girlfriend on an expressway at night in the desert and we are being chased by a gunman.
      My coworker, A, shoots the man in the head.


      The Desert Gunman.

      We're parked now, and looking at the body.
      There isn't blood or gore, rather, just a hole where the bullet went in.
      I'm driving a smaller quad-wheeler now and I offer my coworker a place to stay.
      He agrees and gets onto the quad-wheeler. We discuss the logistics of how long he will stay with us.
      ...
      It's daytime now and we are still driving. Ahead of us is a twisty turny mountain, closer to a course from Mario Kart than to reality.


      Desert Road Spirals.

      I miss a turn, and now I'm carefully maneuvering around a spiral road rising around a small pillar-like structure.
      We eventually reach a sandy cave entrance where the road ends.


      Desert Cave Entrance.

      There are two arrow shaped signs ahead. The one pointing left says "Mafia" and the one pointing right says "Goomba".
      We choose Goomba and proceed.
      As we go deeper into the cave, there is a glass display case on our left. It appears to contain Game of Thrones paraphernalia.
      I notice one of the Night's Watch coats in particular, alongside some swords and other weapons. They may have been numbered.
      At this point in the hide, we are expecting an award. The cave opens up into a larger chamber, almost like a grand palace or tomb.

    4. Night of Monday 1/15/24 (Comp Night 10)

      by , 01-17-2024 at 05:34 AM (Dreamlog)
      Math Class Is Ruined:
      I'm with my girlfriend walking through a hallway at my college campus.
      I'm leading a group of classmates forward.
      We pass by a snack store, and it is closed with gates covering the entrance.
      We come to a man who appears sickly up ahead.
      My girlfriend notices that my heartrate is going fast and is worried.
      The man is telling us that the pandemic is back.
      Somehow, I conclude that math class is ruined.
      I false awake into my bed, questioning whether this new sickness will be a pandemic.
    5. Comp Night 9: Hotel Stuff and More

      by , 01-17-2024 at 03:16 AM
      Dream 1: Hotel Stuff – is this a dream?

      There is a guy who, I think, says that we are in a dream. I feel as though he has been spreading this around, and now people want him to prove it by jumping off of a building. By now he isn’t so sure though. But a crowd of people have gathered around, and he seems to be trapped into doing it. I suggest that he escape. He could duck into a nearby elevator and go to a different floor, where it would be difficult to find him. But he wants to go through with it. We try in vain to convince him otherwise, and I think he eventually jumps. I either fall off or jump off too. I think that I start wondering if it really is a dream. Anyway, it doesn’t seem to hurt me.

      In a big hotel. I’m trying to go back to my room – I’m also naked. I’m carrying a big towel, which I wrap around me as I go. I walk down a corridor and find myself in an area that looks like a place I have dreamed about before. I think I might do a kind of half-hearted reality check, but don’t become lucid. As I go, I see that some rooms have bathtubs out in the hallways. They are in a sort of cubby area, I guess, and a curtain or a sliding door can be drawn in front of them. Still, it seems like an odd lack of privacy to me. I walk into a sort of open place, kind of like the main walking area of a mall, and in front of me is a nice-looking carpeted staircase such as you might find in a fancy Victorian era hotel. To my right, a woman is demonstrating some sort of gadget.

      Something about a news crew filming. People are dressed up in “holographic” Halloween costumes. These costumes are invisible unless you look at them with a specific lens.

      Fragment 1: Lecture

      Someone is giving a lecture. A couple of my friends are thinking of going to it, but it starts before long and is a fairly long drive away, and I don’t know if we can make it in time. The talk seems like it would be interesting though – possibly related to lucid dreaming somehow.

      Fragment 2: Scrooge

      Something about Ebenezer Scrooge. The fire in the office is cold, and Cratchit wants to put more coal on it. Scrooge secretly realizes that it’s cold, but he has fallen on hard times and doesn’t want to admit it. So he pretends to be harsh about the coal.

      Fragment 3: Train Crossing

      Driving along a road. I’m coming to a train crossing, and a train is approaching. I think I might have an idea about to the crossing, but then decide that is too risky. In fact, the train is pretty close to the crossing. It crosses, but some other guy drives up and decides to cross anyway. So, while the train is moving, he jumps his car/truck up and over some flat train cars, driving on them as though they were some sort of ramp.

    6. 1. Hand And Pillar (LD)

      by , 01-17-2024 at 03:10 AM (Oneirin's Dreamworld)
      1. 1. Hand And Pillar (LD)
      I raise my right wrist to glance at my watch. It’s not
      there and I see a slight tan line. That’s…strange… Nose
      pinch. I’m lucid.
      “I knew it”
      I head toward a nearby table, put my arms up and float
      up above in a prone position, and view a woman who’s
      slightly heavy-set with darker skin in a seat to the left
      as well as a woman to my right. I lower down onto the
      table.
      “Check this out guys - I’m going to levitate.”
      I press myself up, yet quickly lower back down.
      I press up again, yet once again quickly lower.
      That’s… strange. I feel I’m getting distracted and set
      my mind to honing in my awareness. I walk to my left
      and wrap around a nearby gray pillar. I stick out my
      hand and focus intently, raising my awareness. I begin
      to head back to the table. I begin to float up, yet my
      lucidity fades.

    7. Winter Competition 2024 16.01

      by , 01-17-2024 at 02:04 AM
      Today I memoriased 4-5 dreams but almost all was forgotten few moments after wake up :/

      DF #1
      I was in bulding of my university. Unknown time. I went inside elevator with some students. When door closed one student ask me that I have something on my uniform. First I saw that I have big black back in my hands. After fast inspection I recognized the bag as a bodybag. I smell intence odor and I saw some alsmot transparent liquid was dripping from the bag on my uniform. The bag slipped from my hands on floor. Via plastic I saw woman face but I was unable to recognize who she is. I gentle open that bag. Odor was more intence. Also I saw some body part but I don't remember what exacly part. Probably amputated hand. I woke up (propably end of REM phase).

      DF #2
      I was somewhere in shopping mall but I cannot summon any memories about that place. Probably my local shop mall.

      DF #3
      I was in my home. I was waiting for something but I cannot remind for what. It was morning and via window I saw that a uknown man is aproaching to me. I live on ground floor so it scared me that someone is aproaching to my window. When the person climbed on my balcony I recognized his face - it was my co-worker from old work. He asked me about something but I don't remember.

      DF #4
      Friend of mine was using somehere PC. I don't remember what place or time it was.

    8. CN10- speeder, wild? and chocolate milk fire extinguisher

      by , 01-17-2024 at 12:51 AM
      I was walking around near the road in the middle of the night. A car sped past me, missing me by a few feet. I remembered hearing about this guy that speeds and smokes weed or something, so I start running back to my house. I'm about to climb over my fence, I hear his car coming back around the block, I see his headlights.

      [COLOR="#008000"]I am suddenly aware of myself falling out of my body and pooling on the floor like a liquid. I relax and let it happen, when I'm completely out I open my eyes. I can't remember that I'm in a competition or tell that my furniture arrangement is completely off, but I can see in a level of light where I normally can't. I walk past a chair and into my hall. I turn to the living room, something red and cylindrical catches my eye. It's a fire extinguisher, I plug my nose to make a thousand percent sure I'm in a dream cause I'm about to make one hell of a mess. I hold the can, It's weightless, and there's a black handle/spout like on a spray bottle. I pull the trigger and white foam shoots out and all over everything like elephant toothpaste but with more pressure. I empty the can, look around and feel glad my father's not here. I unscrew the spout and look inside. There is a small amount of liquid at the bottom which tastes like chocolate milk. [/COLOR]
