Night 12

The wingman
- i was in a store with the pillow i was sleeping on in my hands, the store employee said 'you know you will have to pay for that again, right?' (it even implies that he knows i already paid for it) and i was like 'no shot, i didnt even buy it from this store' and left, did a nose plug (+1) and became lucid, saw myslelf further down the street (i didnt look exactly like i do now, but knew anyway), i decided to change my perspective to be standing near 'me' (i'd say this was more something that has happened rather than something i did even tho i noticed the desire for it before it happened), i saw my reflection in a store window and decided to play rock paper scissors with myself (personal goal to win this), i recommended 'myself' to try to do the same thing (+2) because i found it funny, my hands were cold and i had trouble opening my hand for the first scissors, we both went scissors - rock - and scissors four more times, the reflection was perfect till i decided to switch to rock last second and won against scissors (ez)(+15), the other me was no longer there so i decided to go for my usual and asked for wings, felt (+5) them and somehow also used a 3rd person view to see them on my back for a moment (left 3/4 black, right white, both angel wings), started flying (+5) around and stopped to observe a crazy sunrise sky, then flew some more

also im confident i had another one but i forgot all of it

Nigt 13

- Not your daddy
i seem to have forgotten the beggining, first thing i remember is there being 3 of my laptop, i had one and was trying to get into the second one, but i couldnt since my friends changed the password to it, i kept asking them for it, but they ignored me and it was starting to make me mad, there was also the third one which i didnt even know where it was, that made me anxious, i then went into this terrace with a pyramid shaped iron truss above it and (was lucid by this point) i pushed a guy into a pit (+2) because i was so mad, floated (+5) up above the top of the pyramid and told everyone there to follow him (+5), i noticed a girl sitting close by and i walked up to her as everyone was walking into the pit. she said 'thanks for doing this for me dad' whit a smile on her face (im not anything close to anyone's dad), i replied 'but i did this for myself' she replied something and we hugged and it was very emotional, i saw a helicopter getting closer which was there to rescue us, i was thinking that this is an awesome ending and was proud of how long this dream was (except i forgot most of it ), i immedietly wrote down the conversation we had when i woke up and saw a fully realistic image of the scene for a second, thought that my brain must still partially be in dream mode and kept writing, then i woke up for real and didnt journal untill now (evening)

Fragment:
I'm in a big open convention space, with thick carpet and lots of red/gold colors.
It turns out this is a hotel, where there is a mixup with where we were supposed to stay.
I'm on a school trip with the cast of My Hero Academia.

Grocery Store Flight:
I'm in a grocery store that reminds me of one I went to as a kid.
I'm running a sort of tower defense game, where people (mobs/creeps) will attempt to make it past my shelves and reach the goal.
I add some bricks to a back area, forcing a specific path.
I also formulated a strategy where I would add a block completing a blockage, waiting for the group to move, and then remove and rebuild it on the other side creating a loop.
...
I'm seated at a small table with a coworker, face to face.
I'm giving her a status on something quality related.
She happens to mention lucid dreaming as a topic she is interested in.
"Oh yeah! I just had one of those last night!"
I pause, and with all the mental quickness of a drunken sailor, come to the conclusion that since we are talking about lucid dreaming, perhaps I should complete a reality check.
I plug my nose and try to breathe. I can...but I don't draw the conclusion...then I do a second check and it falls again.
"Hold on, am I really dreaming right now?"
I look at my hand as a third check, and sure enough, I have five fingers plus a thumb. This is a dream!
I immediately take off and start flying [1]. As I float into the air I wave to my coworker.
"Have fun working!"
I fly off into the heights of the grocery store, and happen upon a ledge high above the shelves.
I start going through what I need to do for goals, and remember my first goal is to summon (I forgot that I already achieved this in my last lucid).
I decide to try and summon a puppy. So, I wish for a puppy to appear on the upper ledge area when I land and it comes fully into my view.
No puppy. Boo. However, there were vases all around, so I decide to break them for fun.
I lie down on the ledge, and remember that I was trying to teleport before.
New tactic: I'm going to lie down, pretend I'm on grass, and then hope the rest of the scene transforms to match.
It doesn't. Boo. I also find some doors and try to use them to teleport. Nope.

[1] Fly.

Before WBTB

Fragment:
I'm at work, being questioned about a quality process. LC is there, gesturing toward an area of the production floor.
There is a grid of square objects that I'm not familiar with.
We're at the part of the floor where the fitness section used to be.
Feeling is neutral.

After WBTB

Smol Pup:
I'm driving with my girlfriend around our neighborhood. I asked her why we are out here, and she doesn't know.
Later I've walked down to town and wandered into a store.
My arm is resting on a side table, and I notice a small puppy's tail wagging and hitting my hand.
He's a small little guy, and seems happy to see me. I feel a strong emotional bond immediately, but I don't RC.
I start talking to the store clerk, and they are trying to sell the puppy to me.
There is a second puppy, that is bigger, but also cute.
...
I tell my girlfriend about the store and she wants to see the puppy, so we go back.
We go back to the store and there is a back area with a bunch of cages and even more cats and dogs.
There is a security guard there that isn't happy about our trespass, and the fact that we woke up the animals.

You Can't Hurt Me:
I wake up in bed, but I remember that I had just been doing a WBTB, so I do a nose RC.
I can breathe. I'm dreaming! But my body feels really heavy. I remember what I read recently:
The first thing I should do is take stock of the situation to help it stabilize. So, I stay in bed.
"This is a dream. I just became lucid. I'm in a dream bed in my dream house."
After a few moments, I try to get up again. It works. My body is free.
I get up and out of bed. Closing the door behind me, I notice that the hallway is dark.
"Lights up!" - but nothing happens. Oh well.
I turn the corner into where my kitchen should be, but there is a wide open living room-kitchen setup.
It resembles my landlord's setup, with the kitchen on the right and a bigger living area straight ahead.
My girlfriend is on the right in the kitchen, my brother is further back in a living area, and his wife is further back in another den area.
I try to make my girlfriend naked by looking at her and then looking away, but no cigar on that.
I recall that I should start going for points...what was my three-step? Summon! My first step was summon!
I vaguely consider what I should summon, and decide on a weapon. I think about a machine gun, and when I turn to look at a nearby kitchen table, there it is [1].
I pick it up and it reminds me more of a paintball gun than the real thing. Whatever. I don't actually want to hurt anyone here, so I start dotting the ceiling with bullets.
The gun makes a muted sound, and leaves perfect bullet marks like in Goldeneye 64. My brother notices me doing this and asks me what the hell I'm doing.
He pulls out a desert eagle and points it at me.
"Go ahead and start shooting. This is a dream. You can't hurt me."[2]


Come at me, bro.

He starts unloading his weapon into me, and I feel nothing [3]. Rather than shoot him, instead I grab him by the leg and start throwing him around like a ragdoll [4].
He doesn't end up injured, but this does end the altercation

Not going to lie, it felt pretty damn good.

Then I make my way over to a side room where my girlfriend is and do some naughty things with her. This wakes me up.
I'm back in bed, but I remembered I was just dreaming, so I do another nose RC[5,6].
Still dreaming! I'm super excited that I had hit two out of my three tasks (I've never completed the three-task before!) but I forgot the middle one is "ask for advice" not "interact with a DC".
Regardless of that, I decide that I want to try for #3: a teleport.
I get up easily from bed this time, no body calibration needed. Though in retrospect maybe some stabilization would have been good.
I open the bedroom door and enter the hallway. I decide that I will imagine Silverlight Forest on the other side of the wall, just out of my view.
Rather than try the slower "turn and wish" method, I change up my style and take off at a sprint around the corner as fast as I can.
I'm thinking "Forest! Forest! Forest!" hoping that I can finally make the teleport work.
I accelerate to super speed [7], and the world starts to morph around me. I'm going so fast, I should have hit the far wall of the house by now, but nothing is impeding my motion.
I get excited as I see a spec of green. Then another. And another. A green plains zone starts to form in front of me. It has World of Warcraft graphics.
There are Fire Elementals dotted all over the field. The visual is now half house and half Warcraft, with digital blocks transitioning between the two.
I'm excited that I'm going to pull off a teleport FINALLY!
But before I can slow down and settle into the scene, I wake up.

[1] Reality Check / Stabilization
[2] Basic Summon
[2] Interact with a DC
[3] Gain Invulnerability
[4] Super Strength
[5] Catch A False Awakening
[6] Reality Check
[7] Super Speed

I have a false awakening and I'm in my room at night, in the dark. I can't fall back asleep and I get up to look out of the window. I see a comet fly by in the distance really fast and disintegrate. For some reason I'm thinking it might be the Halley comet, in my head I think I've read somewhere it would show up this year (this is not true), so I try to pick up my phone to look up when it was supposed to show up.

I look out of the window some more and see some strange object with a few lights flying in the sky in a weird pattern before going out of view and I'm thinking to myself what I should do about it but I brush it off as not being important. Eventually, something clues me in that I might be dreaming and do a reality check, becoming lucid.

Looking out the window again I wonder if I should fly out and explore. I levitate above the floor and prepare to fly out of the window, however shortly after I lose all my senses and everything is dark, I try to hold on to the dream. For some reason I start narrating the dream in my mind, thinking about how I'm descending to the "thoughts layer" and that "they" noticed my presence (I'm not sure what any of that means). I eventually wake up, shortly before my alarm goes off.

LD:
I rented a room in some sort of hotel with a well known IG photographer. It was late afternoon and we’re both hanging out on the bed reading. He is handsome and has not said he’s interested me, but I can I can sense he wants to be intimate. His leg is lightly touching me and I can feel the heat. I leave the room and walk to my bedroom where my partner is at (now somehow back at home) and end up getting into bed with my partner and falling asleep. In my dream, as I’m falling asleep, I think to try WILD and immediately move into sleep paralysis.

I ask the dream if it can be lucid and am able to “roll” off my bed into a false awakening in my bedroom. It’s super vivid and I immediately stabilize by rubbing my hands together. It seems like twilight in my house and I walk out of my room into the hallway. At the other end of the hallway a see a faint apparition by the door. It’s slightly unnerving, but I walk up to it and try and embrace it. It seems to dissipate when I do this. I then ask the dream space if there’s anything I can help out with, but nothing seems to happen. I go to my living room and try and open a portal in the ground using my hands. I get the ground to ripple like a pond, but no portal appears. Instead I spin around quickly and think of an open Irish landscape to test some more dream control in. When I stop spinning, a lush landscape surrounds me, and it is still twilight.

Since this lucid is so much more vivid than the last one, I decide to try deity yoga again. I fill myself up with energy and start to fly into the atmosphere, but I notice the dream start to unravel so I immediately cut off my powers and plummet hundreds of feet to the ground. I slam ungracefully (but unhurt) into the ground next to some kayaks.

At this point a bunch of people walking their various dogs start to enter the scene. I want to practice teleporting via snapping my fingers, and I’m able to teleport short distances with each snap. Seeing the dogs again, I decide to try full transformation again, but this time into a wolf. I feel myself launch onto all fours, and I look down to see wolf paws. I can also feel a very thick fur coat. I snarl menacingly at a dog that’s close and am surprised at how aggressive/real it sounds. I next see if I can run like a dog, but the movement are all jolty so I transform back to a human.

At this point a bunch of DCs are starting to enter the dream and it’s getting crowded. I think maybe now it’s time to start creating a legendary weapon. I start searching for some sort of portal to an underground forge, but have a hard time finding one. A side street opens up to what looks like a neon lit Tokyo alleyway at night, but I don’t go down it (now I kind of regret not taking a look). Instead I enter this gallery space and am trying to find paintings to turn into portals, but at this point the dream gets really messy with a lot of people and I feel my dream control is falling apart.

Dream #1:
I’m with my mom and she hands me an expensive $217 bottle of champagne. It’s for a friends celebration and as I take it to put it on the counter, I grab it by the next and cork. Some how I accidentally pop the cork and spill half the bottle in the sink. I tell my mom it was an accident and the cork literally fell out, but she’s still disappointed. I realize that I may have some champagne in the fridge, but when I look I can only find other open, half full bottles. She says since it’s still light out she’s going to walk across the street to the store while I figure out what to do.

Fragments:
Coworker has a large Japanese orchid greenhouse. He offers to share it with me since he has so much space. We spend sometime cleaning it out, including old railroad ties that were on the ground.

Playing video game with friend. We quickly get to high levels boss encounter that we cannot beat. I tell her we could probably do it if I used more of my special abilities, but I’ve not had time to practice them.

Learning how to canoe properly in water. The instructor was very carefully drawing out a diagram on when to do what stroke. Seemed almost in a tribal setting, like my life was gonna depend on it?
