Before WBTB

Science Blaster:
I'm in a house that resembles my Grandma's current one. It's an upper floor but it is modeled after the basement.
There is some competition going on, related to the Youtube Channel, Game Theory.
I realize that I need to take a shower.
I notice that there is a queue of people lined up waiting to use the men's bathroom to shower.
I thought I noticed my brother in the distance, but when I got closer it is somebody else.
I realize now that we are here for auditions of some kind, related to Game Theory.
I start to stress out, but I remember that there is another bathroom further away. Maybe there isn't so long a wait there.
I leave the hallway through some double doors and end up in a grocery store. I start moving to the right, toward the other end of the store.
As I'm walking I stop myself.
"Wait a minute...high stress, video games...those are two of my prospective memory targets!"
Rather than remember to reality check or question reality, I pull up my phone and look up ways to de-stress.
According to dream Youtube, stress is often held in the shoulders, so I try to relax my shoulders.
Moving on, I reach the opposite hallway, and see a private area. There is a frame video device that plays the classic Game Theory intro, Science Blaster.
I think to myself about how cringe my old intro is. Strangely, I seem to take credit for it.
I find a bedroom and a place where I can shower connected to it.
...
I'm back in the basement-like area with my sister. I think about how our relationship is strained and maybe I should try to fix it.
We are laying together on a beanbag, and she has a laptop open. We are watching a show together.
From on top of an entertainment center that isn't there in reality, she opens a secret compartment and reveals a hookah pipe. I tell her:
"You know, I just want to say that I know you aren't a drug addict...I think of you as more of somebody who experimented a bit and then unfairly earned a bad rap."
This seems to make her happy, and it happened to be the truth, so a strong warm feeling hits the dream.

After WBTB

Fragment:
My parents are fighting about money.

Dream #1:
I win some competition and get the chance to stay in some sort of futuristic home. It almost looks like it could be the interior of an underground lab or spaceship, with white curved walls and automated glass walls. I also knew that some part of it was a trick or a joke. I started looking around for details that would give the ‘trick’ away and noticed dirt and small debris on the otherwise perfect ground and also the quality of the light passing through the tinted doorway. I also start pouring water through the doorway into the next room to try and flush out some sort of ‘jump scare’ that I knew was coming. The room beyond had modern high stools around circular white tables.

Lucid Dream - DILD
I’m showing a dream character how to do a reality check, then realize I have extra fingers. I double check my hand to confirm that I’m dreaming. I try and stabilize by rubbing hands together, and eating strawberry. The strawberry has a faint taste, so I ask if it can be sweeter with moderate success. Then think I need to complete the epic weapon creation task but fall back into dreaming.

Dream #1:
It’s night and everything’s quiet. I can feel the cool air. I’m looking at the inky black starlit sky and a bright shooting star arcs through the sky with a super long tail. It’s gets brighter and brighter until it hits the ground right next to me. It creates small crater and I immediately go to pick it up. There’s another person with me, who gets wet paper towels to help pick it up in case it’s hot. The stone is oblong smooth and about the size of my hand. It looks like labradorite. I feel the wet paper towels as I pick up the stone, but it’s not hot. I knew other people would be after this stone, so I go into my childhood home to find a hiding place for it. I go to the dining room and lift up one of the wood floor boards, thinking to hide it there. However, as I pry back the board and look through, I see that instead of a space to hide the stone, I’m looking through a portal that opens from the ceiling and looks down at myself prying up the floor board. Kind of an infinity portal/mirror effect is created. I’m somehow able to hide the stone in this portal zone just as a scary man enters the house, looking for the stone. I run into the basement, and out the basement hatch which leads outside. Once outside, I realize that the chandelier is swinging in the dining room since I bumped it while reaching through the ceiling portal. I’m afraid the man will notice it and realize where I hid the stone, so need to go back and fix it. Outside I meet Dr. Suess-like animal with portal mouth that I jump through to quickly get back to the chandelier and stop its swinging before the man sees.. I pop back outside and the man is suspicious that I’m tricking him. I see that he is now holding my sister hostage, so I’m unsure what to do.

Dream #2:
I’m at some sort of fundraiser campaign for an old politician. I’m in charge of the money and have lied about some sort of large donation for the campaign. I approach the candidate, who is an elderly man, and I ask if he’s ok with the lying and he says we have no other choice. I disagree and realize that we will be found out and his career will be ruined. It’s better not to win than to have this happen. I rush downstairs to try and find where I put the paperwork. On the way, I get stuck in reoccurring wood dream staircases behind the walls of the building complex. I’m trying to find the basement room where I hid the paperwork, but can remember which staircase leads to it.

Dream fragments:
Dream fragment where I’m walking next to a woman with two dogs. One is a German shepherd that I pet and it seems friendly. I belatedly ask for permission, and it is granted. We come upon a really steep grassy hill, almost in the shape of an amphitheater. Other people are sliding down the sides, and we do so as well.

Dream fragment where partner and I are watching movie. Its black and white on a projector, and other dream characters seem interested to watch too.

Me and my fiance's dad were exploring San Francisco when we came across what was apparently the main street of the Castro district. It was mostly candy shops with occasional swedish theming, which tracks with how the area used to be a little scandinavia of sorts. One of the places tried ripping us off. One of the smaller boxes of candy was like, 60 dollars. We told the owner and he reprimanded the other owner who was responsible for doing that. I think I made a personal jab or something and they laid on the ground, although I clarified that it was meant to be a lighthearted thing. Afterwards, me and my fiance's dad left and we ended up deciding it was time for dinner. One incredibly weird crosswalk later, we crossed into a poorly upkept part of the city, where we found an abandoned office/mental health clinic of sorts. However, it looked more like my old house with an extra room attached. I went up some stairs and found the file of a friend of mine from high school who apparently had died in the dream long before the events of it took place. It was mainly screenshots of their discord history with a queerplatonic partner of mine, who in real life she has never met. After that I went downstairs to the kitchen, opened the (still running) fridge and debated whether or not to eat the catfish. It had been sitting in here for years but it looked just fine. I took a small bite and it tasted just weird enough for me to spit it out and stick in back in the fridge. My fiance's dad came around the corner down the hall in a way that initially scared me considering the whole fact that we were in an abandoned building at night but he apologized and we left.

I had one dream where I was with some people in a house and I was doing some dream parkour in it or something. Then I was playing guitar with one of the guys.

Another dream where Jamie seemed to be in high anxiety and she went up to raven asking for help.

The Jamie voice seems to have anxiety. I was assured yet again that she is safe. I'm beginning to question if the warnings were actually from Jesus. Usually my encounters him yield a sense of safety and peace. So maybe that wasn't from him??? In any case I have been assured there is no danger. Certainly don't go looking for it either. I apologize for not questioning my warnings and recklessly posting them.

Summer Competition 2024 - Night 8

1. Chilling On The Roof (LD)
I continue to fly alongside the edge of some large properties. I become lucid as I turn toward a home in the far distance. I’ll explore a bit. It’s night and continue to fly toward the house, windows illuminated in dim yellow light. I finally reach the home and phase through a back door. Once inside, I hear a family having a conversation in the back area. I approach and snap to go invisible. I see two daughters and mother seemingly cooking dinner - they’re standing around a central island and seem to be engaged in tasks while having a conversation. They look right past me and I decide to use some dream control to easily phase through them. I close my left fist in front of me and imagine it charging with energy. I phase straight through the two sisters without them detecting anything, handing a left and continuing into a back area. I find myself in a quite large pantry with wooden shelves. I look around a bit and see many cabinets throughout as well as shelves stocked with various containers of food. I continue to explore the cabinets, looking for something to eat, yet only find boxes of what appears to be pasta and other non-perishables I’m not entirely interested in. I finally look at a bottom shelf and find a stack of what appear to be fig newtons. I figure they look pretty good and I grab the box as the younger sister comes in. I simply avoid her, walk out and head to the stairs. I phase through a large glass portion of the outer wall - essentially a massive window - as I reach the mid point of the stairs and head out onto a shingled portion of the roof. I see several people down below in what appears to be an upscale alleyway. One of them seems to look up briefly in my direction as I sit down and take a bite of the fig newtons. I bite in and they’re really good. I think of just staying put and chilling in dreams as well as how long I can hang out here. I should probably say grace. I close my eyes for a moment and wake up.

2. The Bar (LD)
I’m walking in what appears to be a mall and turn toward the entryway of a store. I look inside and see an interested painting with orange hues and figure it would be cool for a chill spot. I walk inside and become lucid. The room seems to extend down to the right and it looks a bit like a bar. I begin to consider some dream control as I walk toward the bar area. I walk up to a guy who’s seated with his laptop and decide to use some electronics. I grab his mouse, move the cursor to some icons at the bottom, and click on a reddish orange one that looks somewhat like a fox head. Nothing happens. I decide to move on quickly and turn to see two large gray pieces of machinery - possibly a large ATM and another device. I grab one large piece of machinery and throw it. Hmm what was the order of the three step I posted last night again? I head toward a large contraption and phase through, avoiding a partial phase on the smaller one. I begin to think of my three step and begin to remember TK. I look at the far end of the bar area and see several pieces of what appear to be exercise equipment. I go for TK on a slightly smaller piece and it bobs back and forth a bit, yet quickly switch to the larger piece. I quickly raise it up to the ceiling and let it drop back down. I turn back toward the bar and


3. Playgrounds & Pizzerias (LD)
I continue to drive with the two guys, talking about the space travel we’re going to embark on. We turn to head toward a small bridge and I’m become lucid. I begin thinking about what I’m going to do and the awareness wanes for a short moment. I focus my awareness and the scene comes back into view. I fly up out of the car which seems to be a convertible and down the street. I notice a massive fire hydrant to my right, roughly twice the height and twice the diameter of a normal hydrant. I go for super strength, smashing my knee into it and bending the entire thing into the ground. I then begin considering my three step. My order was off in the last lucid…I need to start with transformation. Mid flight, I turn toward a nearby sign and shapeshift to crow form. It’s quite accurate and I feel very satisfied with how it feels. I approach the sign and phase straight through the center. I revert to humanoid form and face some playground equipment situated to the left. I look at a smaller piece at first before focusing on the larger one behind. I quickly lift he huge piece with TK and begin moving it rapidly to the right, some ten meters in the air. I move it in front of a few kids in the distance before flinging it to the right. I continue to float forward and turn toward a seating area nearby to the right. I see Jay and the other kid I was riding with. They’re sitting on a bench in an area which seems to have woodchips to walk on. I begin to think of Lunar’s guide from the previous night and asking persistent characters to remind you that you’re dreaming. I turn toward Jay.
“From now on, when we’re together in dreams, just remind me I’m dreaming so we can continue doing things in lucids.” He nods at me with understanding. I turn toward the other friend and reiterate the point before drilling it in once again with the pair. I turn from them and consider ways in which to score more points - I run through the competition list in my mind. I’ll do some basic summoning and eating. I head toward the brick wall in front of me, yet opt for a phase though the somewhat opaque, orange tinted window as I don’t want to risk going to void. I find myself in a somewhat dim restaurant with a long, dark wooden table to my right, several kids eating a meal of bread and some other times. I snap to go invisible, then reach forward. They look right through me and I grab the smaller item on the plate in front of me, unnoticed. I bite into it - it tastes like pumpernickel bread with some type of cinnamon butter - it’s pretty good. I should still do some summoning. I head toward the room beyond thinking of something to summon when I notice several chefs working in what appears to be a kitchen area. To the left, I see a fairly long stainless steel storage section with pizzas being heated up inside. There are two types to choose from, one containing pepperoni. I think of Sensei heading to pizza shops in Zodra and figure I’ll give it a shot in Nervaru. I gran one of the slices which seems like it’s an ‘extra cheese’ slice. I begin to walk to a nearby seat, yet take a bit as I want to make sure I fit it in. The taste is great and quite accurate as well. I take a seat and soon wake up.

* Includes 2024-07-12 #310, 311 DILDs (LD #15,16 reboot '24) [13, 18, 16 [2], 0, 5, 9, 1, 9, 1, 5, 8, 10, 9, 8[2] ]
* Night-time, dark outside, Riding in car back right seat, the windshield frosted over I'm very nervous that driver can't see, (I do a nose pinch? Not clear result?). I'm trying to look through the windshield to see how the driver's driving. It seems he's driving on the left side of the street, and it seems he's driving really fast based on the conditions. I wonder if the frost/fog on the windshield will melt to give a better view. We arrive to a (checkpoint?) and I see a lot of large animals outside the right window, walking. Horses, zebras, etc.
* LD #310. I'm walking around an indoor dark/twilight-lit [DS] area, enter a rest area to the right off of the main corridor with a lot of couches, I think I'll sit down, I turn around and look back towards the hallway, studying the people there. All the couches are occupied by identical older women with huge tall white hairdos, they're sleeping, and each is holding a child in their arms. The fact that they look identical is amusing/interesting to me, I want to call Lena to see this. I think this is the place that the babushkas come to rest while the mothers are doing something. I see there is nowhere to sit down, so I decide to leave, but now there are even more, younger teen girls, blocking the exit path[DS] that I entered on, I move to leave and perhaps having to climb slowly over them, but they get out of my way, and I leave the area back into the hallway. Suddenly I stop, suspect I'm dreaming, nose pinch, get lucid, feel joy, immediately turn and walk quickly the other way. I rub my hands vigorously as I walk, and I feel the dream move from a bit unstable into stable, I enter a huge, bright super-high-ceiling atrium/area. There are people walking and standing around. The walls are white(?) [DS]. To my left is a tall work table with computer monitors on it, and a middle-aged woman is just leaving the table, I go over to her, say "Hi, my name's <>, what's your name?" She answers "Carol". I think she's teaching something to students at this table. I ask "what are you teaching here" but she walks by without answering. I move forwards into the center of the room, walk up to someone [forgot], state my name, ask theirs, don't recall answer. I move to the right towards a wall and there is a holographic display, rectangular, set atop a pedestal a few feet away from the wall, the screen is about 4 feet off the ground, translucent, showing some image, I stick my arm through the screen and feel a sort of electric current in my arm, laugh, and keep on walking. I come across a really tall big man [DS], and ask him to give me his light saber. He just walks by. I turn towards the wall and there is an opening, a corridor leading to a (loading dock?) in the distance, and call out to the guys there, "Hey, give me a light saber!" When I speak I hear that there is an echo in the area and think that it's cool that dreams can recreate that as well. I smack my hand on the wall of the corridor a few times to listen to the echo, as I'm doing this, I see a large troupe of people enter into view perpendicular to the hallway, moving from my right to my left, as if there is a perpendicular hallway there, and I notice that they all (10-20 or more of them, walking quickly) dressed entirely, head to foot, in bright white clothing (shirts, pants, shoes, hats, all white). I have a tug of interest in following them but don't. I turn around and I'm at a place where there's a rectangular monolith in the large area, and I see that people are jumping and flying from my area up to the 2nd floor. I want to do this, too. But I feel like someone has latched on to me on my left side, I push/shove that person away, then I bend my legs and jump up to fly, I float easily high up almost to the ceiling, above the level of the 2nd floor balcony, and think that this is an area of anti-gravity. I land on the 2nd floor balcony and sit at a table that's outside of a food stand/burger joint. I'm sitting across from a picnic table [DS] from Andy [colleague from company 3] and say "Hi, Andy, welcome to my lucid dream!" He answers something [forgot]. I'm eating something like a hot dog, and I'm telling the guy across from me at the table (now an unknown Indian guy) "nobody will give me their light saber!". He says "you need to call (the support hotline at) 10354", I repeat the digits to make sure I understand them, he confirms, and then a girl arrives with a 4-foot long burrito/gyros/food thing, it looks really good, but I have a feeling it's not quite what I wanted. The thing that I'm trying to eat, a hot dog, is as tough as leather, I can barely chew it, I can't tear off a new piece, I have to reach up and grab the hot dog with one hand and pull it out of my mouth to cut off a piece to eat, fade to awake.

* Smashing dishes in kitchen. I'm in an industrial kitchen like in a large restaurant. I have the urge to pick up piles of plates and smash them, I pick them up and throw them against the wall and they shatter with an incredibly satisfying sound, and pieces fall to the floor. I turn around and there is a small larder behind me, open (no door), and I pick up another pile of plates and throw it strongly into this area, there is more smashing/breaking sounds, and I watch in satisfaction as other things, like a smoke stack, in the corner of the larder, slowly topple over and also fall to the floor with a crashing sound.

* LD #311 Glove guys squeeze door pizza spaghetti Suzanne closet. I'm examining a computer board, there are 3 (middle eastern?) guys standing around me, it's their board, there is a built-in keyboard, and a number of components, I'm looking at and the guys are explaining the components, the one on the far left-hand side of the board, the owner explains is something like a geiger-counter. Then we're sliding on a smooth concrete path with slightly raised edges like on a slide, with a rounded lip, the path goes through several curves and ends up in a room like a large kitchen, we stand up and high-five each other. I was sitting on the computer board while sliding, I wonder if this might damage it. Inside this kitchen I see some pizza (combo like RT KAS) that I have brought. The guy offers his, and I take a look at it, it is in a bag, and I think it's not as good as mine but I see it does have some interesting meats, like sausage, and probably would be good.
* I'm standing in a room with the board/sliding guy. He mentions that there are some guys in a glove/bag that want something. I see a bag by the wall with something light shining out from it, I go over and look inside, it's like a stairway or tunnel inside, and at the bottom of the glove/bag there is a very bright light, I can't fit though, but I put my face into the top of the bag and look down, and it's like a small bright screen is in the bag on the bottom, but it's not a screen, but a "real" scene. There are about 3 guys in there, sort of like gang thugs, and they want something from me. I feel like I don't have the time or inclination to deal with them, so I tell them I have to go do something. I stand up and turn around towards the guy, while still viewing the scene in the bottom of the glove, fascinated, and say "hey, do you know you have little guys living in this bag?". He answers: "Yeah, and I have some others in my baseball catcher's mitt". I visualize a catcher's mitt then, and think that would be easier to communicate with them than the bag because the mitt is more open. Then the craziness of the situation hits me, I think I'm probably dreaming, and a nose pinch confirms I'm dreaming. Woohoo, a second lucid dream in one night! I'm facing a door to the kitchen we ended up in earlier after sliding, and I move through this door. I know there is a small access door on the bottom (like a doggy door) but it's too small for me, but I imagine that I go through it and fit anyway, and make it into the kitchen. I'm with Suzanne B. I want to eat my pizza, I think of having a slice, but I know that SB has prepared spaghetti for us, and she's leading us to a table, there is a round plate on it and I see some red sauce. I'm wearing a heavy coat and SB asks if I want to take it off, I say yes, she leads us to the first room and to a coat closet, I imagine it's a regular closet in an entryway, I take off the jacket (it's very fluffy like a down parka), and hand it to her. Then I notice that the closet is a door built in to the wall, low, and very narrow. The door is blocked by a small table (with a lamp on it)? As I'm looking at and thinking about this closet, I wake up.

I wake up in bed, move a bit and think "Oh, I woke up and the blanket is loose... Or actually, let me make this a dream!". So I stop moving with my body and start moving with my mind and expect the blanket to be stuck and show resistance. Sure enough that works, and I roll out of bed and am standing in my room in a dream.

I walk a bit in direction of my living room, but stop for a moment to do a hand RC and breathe and calm down to stabilize. It actually works quite well. I go into my living room and there's something going on with my PC. I largely ignore it but look under my keyboard to try to summon a DV coin. No luck... I go to the window and exit my house.

The scenery is different than last dream I did this, closer to IRL but still different. The street I live on is much wider, with two lanes, and there's no houses on the other side. My landlord's house seems to have disappeared as well. It's early in the morning and the air is cool. There's not a lot of people around. Some joggers, older people and some cars pass by. I take it easy since I know the dream is relatively new and the longer I give it to form, the better it'll be.

Since the first step of my 3-step task is talking with someone, I see an older lady walking and decide to approach here to try to talk to here. However, I get the feeling she really doesn't want that so I back off. I walk a bit and decide to use super speed to get somewhere more interesting fast. I run very fast at first but feel stability slipping, so I decide to go at moderate super speed instead. That works much better.

I am now in a large, wide street with tall building to either side. As I'm walking down, I notice that on the other side of the street there's a homeless-looking man asking for coins. Too people pass him by and ignore him. I try to look for some DV coins on the floor, but can't find any. I move on.

Suddenly I hear music from a flute-like instrument. It's coming from a building that looks like a church, but is more square. I fly in through a window and I see, in a corner a group of people. There's an older man, in his 50s or 60s sitting in a sofa. He's clearly the boss. There's a bunch of girls surrounding him and 2-3 musicians playing that delightful music. As I land, everyone goes away except the man. I try to make one of the girls stay by controlling here mind, but that doesn't work out. In any case, there's still a person there, so this is my chance to complete the task.

The man is looking at me with a smile and curious eyes. I approach and introduce myseflname, sitting next to him on the sofa.

He thinks for a bit and says, "I'm the only other real person here.".
"Oh really?", I ask.
"Yes, this is a dream and only me and you are LDers."
"How do we know there's not a third person around."
He smiles and shrugs, "We don't!"
I think for a bit and ask, "Well, since you're an LDer and seemed to have such a big group of people around you, can you give me some tips?" (my second step of the 3-step task).
"Hmm, you should try to talk to everyone you encounter" he says. Seems like good advice.

We go on a bit longer about quitting social media, but I don't remember that conversation quite well. The final step of my 3-step task is flying and I know I have already done it in the dream, but it was out of order. So I decide to fly away and as I do that the dream ends and I "wake up" in front of my computer, to write down the dream.

Had a small nap. During which I had a flash of Jamie walking in Bowden on the trail behind the A&W that leads to the streets. Ah did she visit? I wish I could have seen her. She gotta start doing those drive bys again and let me know she's okay.

Apparently Jesus says she's safe. Her voice said she was warned in another way... Well whatever it was, better to listen. I hope my post didn't cause any anxiety. Just be careful.
