Death and Pterry I'm in some classroom with bluish lighting, either playing a game or actually physically there. I see a couple of small black bunny statues on top of the hanging fluorescent lights and remember I'm supposed to click/collect them to get points. Between some of the bunnies I see a miniature Death from Discworld talking with a mini Pterry - I accidentally make both of them decade or two younger because I use something like a magnifying glass on them. Someone comments that they've never seen that before. I guess Death isn't a skeleton in this case? I get concerned and try to reverse it but it eventually doesn't matter. There's more to this but I don't remember. FA Chain LD (some of this might be out of order because there were quite a few FAs but should be roughly correct.) I wake up sometime in the night and try to WILD. Eventually I do the nose check and yup I'm dreaming. I get out of bed and open the window and leave. As usual the window is accessible compared to IRL where I have a desk in front of it. The window slides upwards instead of to the side. Somehow I find myself indoors in some vast shifting building. I try to remember my DV LD competition goals and recall one about hobbies. I find a whiteboard on a wall and take one of the dry erase markers nearby and start drawing. There's already a bunch of writing and some doodles on it shifting around. I see a doodle of an anime face on it and try to do the same. It's difficult because with every stroke the dry erase marker changes color and the drawing "wiggles", turning into something almost but not quite the same. I manage to finish a very unimpressive drawing. I think it's the face of a girl with two small hair buns. At some point I try to fly but gravity gets in the way as usual and I slowly fall down, though this time I'm decently bouyant. Next I look around and think about trying climbing. I try to manifest some climbing walls as I scale upwards but all I get are sections of mall-like areas / food courts, dark blue and orangish. I'm pulling myself up the walls that I can reach -- they're made of some soft netlike material and are not quite vertical. Some sections are more like stairs. The indoors is more like an escher painting with nonsensical architecture than a regular building. I don't get anything more done when I wake up. I'm disappointed that my LD was short as usual. I decide to write down my dream on my phone before I forget in my usual notetaking app, which is correctly in dark mode with purple highlights, but there are weird outlined blocks of text that keep reappearing in my notes even after I delete them and I can't make much progress writing it down. I think this is a bit weird. Shortly after, I try RCing and it's actually an FA. I pull myself out of bed and exit through the window. I decide to make my way through the city like Spiderman. I make the web shooting sign with my hand and shoot webs to swing around a couple of buildings/skyscrapers and remember possibly talking to a friend about being able to do so in an LD. It's pretty fun though not as vivid as it could be. Eventually I find myself in some city streets. I call out in the street for A. (one of my characters), and some stocky latino guy with a buzzcut comes around the corner. He asks for my name first and I tell him. He says his name is Emilio [something]. I ask if he knows if A. is around and he says no, unfortunately not (with the implication that he's not in the dream world at all). I say it would be nice to get to chat with him. As we talk, I spiderman up a building and he follows, hauling himself up a metal awning with pure physical strength. I'm about to ask him further, but I wake up. I do the nose check again, realize it's an FA, roll out of bed. This time I grab the handset of a corded phone on a desk next to the window, or pretend to do so with the phone hand sign up at my ear. I don't call anyone specific, but an older woman responds. I ask for A. as I leave through the window and she says, one moment, can you put yourself on mute? I pretend to do so by "pressing" a button on my fake phone and making a "beep" sound. I have no idea if it works. It occurs to me (absurdly) that if I take a corded phone outside, the cord would get caught on the window and have a distance limit, so I switch to pretending to hold a smartphone instead. I walk around while waiting for the woman, ducking under some scaffolding. It's nighttime. I wake up again before I get an answer. it's another FA. I try to pause this time before leaving to try and stabilize the dream. I don't think it really helps but I look outside the window and it's a busy city street at night, with a bunch of residential brownstones across the street. There's an ambulance traveling backwards, possibly floating. The air is cool against my skin. I glance to my left and right -- I'm a couple stories up in some red brick apartment building. I half expect some other person to be leaning out their own windows at the same time, but there's no one in the adjoining apartments. I call out for both A. and E. (another character) but don't get any response. A group of people pass by below me and one of them is N. (an IRL friend) with longer hair than usual, his hair half up. I hop down and talk to him and say that I like his new hairstyle. He's about to respond when I wake up for real.
* Applying to work at McDonald's. Lots of people in a room are filling out forms/applying. There is a hiring manager there. I say that I was the most productive chef/cook (saying this so that they should definitely hire me), the manager says "yeah, but we do things differently now, and we don't diss Apple", apparently I was constantly ragging on apple before, (and they're a new partner now). Enter a waiting room with several people I'm helping them, I'm carrying something for them, I'm going past a guy (room attendant/guard) who I who in the past has disapproved of me/blocked me [DS], there is a tray on a counter with little bits of food/bread, and I'm putting down the stuff I'm carrying in this tray. He guard doesn't seem to notice me. * Elevator [DS]. A guy is trying to get on to a coin-op elevator, to call the elevator you need $0.15, he was struggling to find the coins for this, I was digging in to my pocket to find them, I'm ready to give them to him. The the doors open. (Circular, not flat), there're people on the elevator, it was hard for him to get on, the doors closed, and I stick my arms/legs in the door to try to pry/hold them open. * Camera. I'm trying to figure out how to configure some feature of a camcorder. I'm holding the device before my face and and manipulating the controls, and looking at the viewfinder with the controls overlay. I'm twisting a swivel, manipulating controls, using a 3D setup screen, eventually I conclude that this model does not have the function I was trying to enable. It's fairly small, I look at it while holding it in my hands, about the size of a small book. * Meeting groups of people outdoors -- one was setting up a picnic in an outdoor area, on a dry grassy field along a road/path. I had a yoga mat and was thinking of laying it down but wasn't sure I wanted to lay it down right on the ground, I decided to lay it down and people lay out food and drinks. * (f) people were zipping around in the snow on helmet "unicycles". There were standing in upside down motorcycle helmets and "driving" around in the paths in the snow, one of them went around me to avoid me and then rejoined the path in front of me, they make a little high-pitched fast gas-motor sound, like a gas model/toy boat. * Food: I'm at a party in the JTyn (DT) house, I'm in the kitchen, looking at the trays and containers of food. The first one I'm looking at is little crunchy crust bowls (edible) of some white substance like maybe mashed potatoes. Some people were swirling their tongues (or I was imagining doing this) around inside the bowls. Then I see a plate of dark brown/black gingerbread cookies, and I pick one up and take a bite, feeling a little sheepish about eating stuff from their kitchen * Bus ride: around the McDonald's interview, I realize I'm late and I need to get back before I miss the bus, I'm panicking, my hands are shaking, and I'm rushing around to get ready to leave, I get on the bus and there's a woman standing with a clipboard on the bus as a tour/group organizer, I know that she had disapproved of me before, I'm looking at the driver out the front of the bus, this woman is with her, and they are consulting the manual for the bus while driving fast on the road, I'm getting nervous because she's spending long moments consulting the manual instead of keeping her eyes on the road. * (f) There's a guy trying to get somewhere on the bus and he has a big, heavy box with him. * (f) I'm wearing jeans and the jeans are wet. I feel the wetness on the front of my quads. I'm thinking I'll stick them in the dryer over night (wherever I'm staying). * There are some people sitting down at outdoor picnic tables [DS] there is a woman who wants to sit down on the bench, but the bench is dirty and she's waiting for a gentleman to pull out a handkerchief so she can sit on it, one guy to the right pulls out one and puts it down and it is half dirty, then the guy on the left of the woman does the same, it's more the size of a towel, I'm standing right in front of this and looking down and seeing it all, and the right side of the towel is streaked black with grime, and I wonder if the woman who sits there will be able to avoid it and only sit on the clean part. * Driving at night in a city (B?) taking a shortcut, up a slight hill, reach a stop sign at a fairly major street, I need to wait for traffic to clear in order to cross, finally I drive, and up ahead up a hill after crossing the street some people are stopped in the road on the left side and are waving frantically and pointing to somebody or a crashed car in the right hand side of the street, I couldn't quite see what was there, but I did stop, then it becomes clear, like a motorcycle had crashed, and was lying on the road, but if I had accelerated and ran into him it would have been bad.
1.Gunblade (LD) I’m lucid in the kitchen in Meadow main house. Hmm… I may as well grab something to eat something before I begin…a basic summon then eat… I go into the left cabinet, looking for a bar of chocolate. I don’t find it and pick up the pace to find one quickly. I head to the right cabinet, find a small packet at first, then a larger item at the top. I grab it, notice it’s what I’m looking for, and begin to eat it as I walk toward the family room. I reach the center and look and look around for some ideas. Super strength time. I grab a huge section of the couch and chuck it to the far side of the room. I for a moment to stabilize my awareness. I look at my left hand, breathing slow…grounding. I notice the the bookshelf come into view in front of me quite vividly. I ignore it for the time being and set my mind to mass TK. I turn toward the large sofa to my left, extend my right arm and notice it seemingly building off the ground. I then see it raise considerably, soon reaching toward the ceiling. I simply let it drop and decide to move on. I should look for…a warglaive…or at least find a weapon for the theme. I head through the double doors, imagining a large blade in the room beyond. I soon notice a large lance looking object laying up against a window, hilt exposed. I approach, expecting it to be a sword. I grab the hilt, lift it and notice that it’s a massive gunblade - like from Final Fantasy VIII. I notice the considerable heft in my hands and begin to brandish it. I look in the mirror and notice the intricate design toward the hilt, resembling an assault rile somewhat. Beyond the hilt, the sword resembles a greatsword, about five feet long. I pull the trigger as I walk to the entryway, going for a fireblast. Nothing happens. I continue to look at the awesome reflection of the sword in the mirror to my right. I should summon a phoenix now. I turn toward the doors, open them, and notice a tropical type setting in the front yard: the dense foliage has deep maroon as well some green leaves and the rainfall is fairly heavy. The car is in a strange spot in the yard…this looks a bit different than Meadow usually looks. I extend the gunblade, attempting to summon a phoenix. Nothing appears. I run through a list of potential dream controls from the competition in my mind. Gravity time. At first, I try to outright flip gravity 90 degrees as I’ve done before, but the dream resists a bit. I then simply walk up the side of the house and I soon find myself standing on the side of the building, gravity rotated. I then land back down, considering where to explore. I feel the dream beginning to dim. Silvermoon. I begin visualizing Silvermoon City and hearing the music playing. I rub the concrete intensely with my hands in circular patterns. I soon wake up. 2. Car Throw (LD) I park the car alongside the curb and look at the dashboard. I’m lucid. Calm, steady…engage. I calmly look around the vivid scene. I open the car door, step out, and consider what to do next. I look at my hand, remind myself I'm dreaming, and take in the moment. I may as well do some control with the car as it’s right here… I could engage some of the buttons for “use electronics”. I sit back down, hit the brake and touch the push button start. The engine revs and I touch the ‘drive’ button to shift from park. I hit the gas and begin steering the car, driving down the road. The dream begins to feel that it’s dimming a bit, so I stop and get out of the car as it’s still moving. I turn, then grab the car and chuck it. As the dream begins to fade even more, I fly upward, then begin turn slowly as I visualize Silvermoon City, fully transitioning to void. I stop spinning and wake up.

My dream begins in a home I vaguely remember from childhood, it's situated in my small hometown on a side street, corner lot. There are several people in the home when I enter, I'm following behind my soon-to-be ex-husband. The home is dark and closed off, it smells of old wood and mildewing books. I can hear a man and woman discussing family matters, referring to me as "the girl" As I look around and draw in my surroundings and try to acclimate to the dark, I notice 5 other people who I'm not familiar with, they're younger like me, early to mid 30's, we're all dressed in clothing that looks to be from the 30's maybe the 40's. The "parents" (referred to by others in the home as mother & father) are dressed in what I consider their best dress, what you would see at a gathering. My soon-to-be ex-husband has now come to sit next to me after having disappeared momentarily. He reaches over and places his hand on my knee, tells me "Mother will prove it to you, just wait, I promise". After a moment of garbled conversation among the other people in the home "Mother" calls for us to come to her, we stand and walk to her, I'm lagging behind him, I'm not feeling very safe and I don't want to go with him but I follow anyway. He leads me down a hall into what looks like a study, the man & woman at the front of the room are almost regal, there are 2 other people beside them who I don't know, they're only standing, never speaking. She begins to speak, I can see her face, her mouth is moving, but I can't hear her words, I feel myself nod my head in agreeance but I have no clue what is being discussed. Everything flashes and suddenly we're outside on the porch of the home my ex and I are sitting on the steps discussing our next choices, I tell him I'm leaving and he won't change my mind, fear and sadness come over his face and I remind him that this is what he chose. As I stand to walk away there's another flash and I'm down the road, nearly to the main road in our town and he is begging me to hear him out. But the scenery is different, there are more trees, fewer homes, and the roads are more narrow. I can still see the businesses in the distance, but the residential area is somehow more serene. I yell as loud as I can and tell him I don't want his excuses, that I love him and I'm terrified of what is going to happen, but I can't stay anymore. He is no longer there, time passes and I find myself back at that house, there are different people in the home now & Mother and Father aren't there, everyone is sad, crying, mourning and I can't figure out who they are mourning. Finally, a small black dog makes its way in the door and I reach down to pet it, he's friendly and loving, I call him by name, although I can't recall it, and the dog stands up and says "He's gone but that's ok, you can bring him back, all you need to do is love me". Suddenly I'm awake.... This dream has eaten at my psyche since I woke up from it, I've racked my brain trying to interpret it to no avail...
Dream #1: It’s night and I’m in childhood valley near where I grew up. I’m invisible and sneaking into my “animal senses” in order to wake them up. This was done by entering a bush on the side of the valley road without the cars headlights noticing as they drive past. I would then change into different animals? I’m doing pretty well first in a big cat form, but get a premonition that something big is going to go wrong. A massive train made of beaten up blue retro vans bursts destructively from my best friend's old house and into the valley. It careens up the road, and towards the hill that leads to my childhood home. I know I need to stop it, so I turn into a wolf with “earth powers” to try and cut it off. Scene goes third person, and as the wolf runs it creates a trail of earthquakes/earth walls behind it to block the “train’s” path as it tries to go up the valley hill. Dream fragment #2: Cleaning a large empty pool. There are leaves strewn on the bottom. I find metal skewers in pool (one with blue and one with red handles), which seems kind of dangerous. There is some sort of substitute teacher trying to direct operations of our group, but she realizes she’s redundant and that we already know what we’re doing. Dream fragment #3: I’m with a couple others learning how to summon “curses” or “spells” of some sort using intention. I think we’re in some sort of Buddhist monastery. I’m walking up some stairs and focused on my intention when I feel a shift inside of me. A couple metal “skewers” begin to fly around me and into the open chamber at the top of the stairs. Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche is our teacher and I can see him smiling as he follows me up the stairs. He says I’ve started to figure it out.
Escape Mom's House I was playing a game where the main character was the Isaac from The Binding of Isaac. I found myself walking around a building going from room to room. The game was more of a 2D platformer like Mario rather than The Binding of Isaac. I found a hole in front of me and sort of just walked into it on accident. I thought I died, but then the screen scrolled down revealing that there was a floor below me that I could now explore. I eventually found a way out and when I exited the home the game changed to 3D. I could now see Isaac desperately running on all fours to get away as fast as he could. *Thinking back I don't know why I thought I died, in The Binding of Isaac that's how you go from level to level.* Forest Recon *This felt like one of those dreams that was close to being lucid but just ended up being extremely vivid and fun instead.* I was with a group of soldiers in the forest. We spotted in the distance a large group of enemies and we were now at a standstill. We both knew each other were here and the only option now was to wait for something to happen. Taking initiative I climbed up a tree and began throwing myself from tree to tree like an ape. I was swinging at high speeds to get behind the enemies for intel. A hill, probably about 100 feet tall, stood in front of me. To get around, I had to climb it. So, I did. When I reached the top I found what appeared to be a wooden deck. I started walking down the wooden path when I discovered that it was connected to a trail. There were a lot of people walking it so I tried to play it cool, like I was always just around the corner enjoying the view and didn't climb the 100-foot drop. No one suspected me and I walked the trail long enough to finally find the enemies. *Beyond this point I don't remember too much.* I found one of my brothers with the enemies asking me to fix something for them. I was guessing the distance for a measurement saying something about it being 35 feet.
