My numbering was off. Whoops.

Holy crap, I took up two whole pages of writing. Let's see how much I can actually read from last night's notes.

Maybe the recipe is staying up later than usual + sleeping in later than usual + utter exhaustion by EOD. Plus, waking up multiple times in the morning then deciding nah, I'm going back to sleep.

• Hypnagogic Imagery: Wicked but wand-car. (What does this mean? I have no idea. But I wrote it down with the tag "hypna" next to it, so. )
• Dream: I was playing a spooky backrooms-themed video game.
• Dream: I was with my extended family in a spaceship, trying to make plans. We were hiding under an invisibility cloak that covered the entire spaceship. It was held together by Sonic. (????? What does this mean, version of me who wrote this at 2 AM?!) And then the whole world morphed into a backrooms game (like the earlier dream) and it had spooky noises.
• Fragment: Another dream with "some white dude" (geez lol) whatever that means.
• Attempted DEILD; failed.
• Dream: I was detaching a multicolored gel pen from a wall that it was stuck to, using a pair of scissors.
• Dream: I was taking a survey about satisfaction. It also asked me, "What scares you the most about life?" I don't remmeber what I answered.
• Dream: I was at a POOOOL (taken verbatim from my journal; I think I fell into a microsleep while writing the Os and my hand just kept going) with 2 others, including a lady who was not wearing any bottoms. LOL. We were plotting out our next move, like Pokemon. (???? I guess we lived together, but I don't know what Pokemon has to do with anything) I said "If it's not tropical, I'm not going." One lady in the pool suggested moving to this beach urban city, but it wasn't tropical. IIRC the weather was more like the Pacific Northwest. It was very pretty though, the image that came to my mind, with black buildings, foggy skies, greenery, and the ocean.
• At this point, it was morning, but I kept going back to sleep. I did a series of 4 WBTBs, but they were all extremely short -- I just got up to pee then went back to sleep. I failed all 4 of them. I could have stayed up longer but I was tired and I knew I had work tonight so I had to get my rest when I could. This did allow for more non-lucid recall.
• Lucid Dream: DEILD success but very briefly. T and I were in a house. I had a body pillow AGAIN (is this going to become a recurring theme? ha) and I was surrounded by some weebs "but still in@sure" -- I don't know what the part in quote means. I was confused as to why I had brought a body pillow to breakfast, because that's what we were doing, having breakfast. I remembered that I could teleport, so T and I did so together, back to our hotel room to drop it off. And THEN of course I went lucid. Because my normal reality checks didn't appear in my dreams, but teleportation did, and THAT is what made me lucid. Teleportation. Self-consciousness. And. Freaking. Body. Pillows. Unfortunately, I woke up before I could start my next task, flight, and immediately tried DEILD/chaining.
• DEILD attempt: I felt a lot of pleasant buzzing but still woke up. Need to keep persisting. Trying to relax.
• Dream: I was working at an office, but I kept falling asleep while trying to type terminal commands into Git Bash. I kept messing the commands up as a result. The other employee next to me was tired too. I checked some fun site for some reason, but my dream-boss saw me doing it. Also, there was a choir in the office singing for some reason. Falling asleep in a dream is a weird experience. It kinda felt like just...losing consciousness altogether then re-entering the same dream a second later.

Newly remembered fragment [0.5]:

There is an umbrella/sword/cane thing. I think it might look something like Steed would have in the Avengers.

4/22/25

Fragment 1: Digging (0.5)

I seem to be digging at a pipe in the ground, made of some soft silver substance. I/we dig away at this, and eventually have a squarish cleared spot in the side of a hill. Something might end up being parked or dropped there.

Fragment 2: Working in the Lab (0.5)

I’m working in the lab. My friend Z— is working there too. I’m trying to put something together using an Arduino. Then I go somewhere, and when I come back Z has taken my Arduino to use for his project. I think I need to have the project done soon though, and I’m a bit concerned. He wants to show his mother the project, I think. Some details in the dream involving wires being plugged into things. The potential new Pope is there also.

Fragment 3: Dating Site (0.5)

Scrolling through a dating site. It seems that I don’t know it’s a dating site at first. Actually, it seems to start off as pictures of models advertising some clothes. Some of the models are posing on the hoods of cars, and the light and heat coming off of the hoods distorts the image so that everything from the head to the lower legs is blurred together.

Fragment 4: Square Dance (0.5)

Something about a square dance. Maybe going to one? I don’t quite remember.

Fragment 5: Walking to my Jeep (0.5)

Going to my Jeep. I think, along the way, I (or we, again) pass a table on which a bunch of cats are either being auctioned or judged as part of a county fair activity. Past them, there are some women that look like they are getting ready to model in some kind of pageant.

Fragment 6: Approaching Pachyderms (0.5)

In a field – possibly laying down. There are elephants some distance away, that seem to be approaching us. At first I don’t think they pose much of a danger, but as they get closer it looks like we will need to move out of the way to avoid getting run over. I kind of roll out of the way, and I think get to my feet. Then I see that there are other animals that kind of look like rhinoceros or hippopotami.

4/23/25

Terrible night’s sleep. I don’t remember any dreams, if I dreamed anything at all.

Dream 1: Taking an Exam, and Star Trek Books [1]

I’m taking a test. I start out by trying to go question by question and answer them all in order, but then I realize that I don’t know a lot of the material. Also, the test is several pages long, and will take me quite a while to finish. Then I think the best strategy would be to go through and answer everything I can, coming back to the harder ones when I got the easy ones. I haven’t studied for this exam, at least not very well. There was a textbook, but I didn’t read it all. The instructor gives me a fair amount of time to finish the test, and I wonder if I could skim over the textbook and get a feel for where the information is located so that I can look it up. It’s an open book test…

…I’m looking at books and/or videos, either for sale or to borrow. This place has a bunch of Star Trek books, including collections of the James Blish adaptations. These collections look rather large. I wonder if there are some new ones in here that I haven’t read or seen. One of the books appears to be an adaptation of the animated series. I think to myself that this is how I used to look for tapes of the Avengers TV show.

Fragment 1: Old Office [0.5]
I have a vague memory of having dreamed about the University from which I just graduated. Something about my advisor, maybe. Then there is a memory of my old office, cleaner than it used to be.

4/26/25

Fragment 1: Spider [0.5]

There is at least one spider, under a small box. I think it might be poisonous. I'm lifting the box using a stick or something, I think.

Fragment 2: Batman [0.5]

I’m pretending to be Sherlock Holmes or Batman. Or maybe that is who I actually am. My last name appears to be Batman, and I think about what Batman’s last name actually is supposed to be.

4/27/25

Fragment 1: Overboard [0.5]

Aboard a ship. Pulling on a large flag, which might also act as a sail (though I’m not sure). Someone has gone overboard. This is taking place along the “middle” access area at the debris removal site.


Dream 1: Libraries, Protests, Trees [1]

“Oh, I don’t know how to protest
‘cause I don’t know what’s going on
I don’t know how to protest
And that’s why I sing this song”

I’m singing that song out front of possibly the library. There are other verses, the above might have been the chorus. One verse is about a fictitious Uncle who took risks and lost a duel. “But he knows better now” might have been the last line of that verse. I dance around while singing this, and sing to a guy who is apparently a villain. It seems like there was a whole plot earlier that I’m referring to. Maybe even a movie. I have a cane in my hand as I sing, and I mess with the guy using the cane. This guy is dressed in some fancy suit and is wearing a bowler hat, I think. Like a “Dandy” from the 50s or so.

I had gone into the library hoping to find a place to work on my laptop. I was going to a quiet place on the second floor, towards the back. Apparently this was the children’s section. A bunch of kids are sitting on the floor and a woman is getting ready to read to them. I need to get behind her for some reason, but she indicates that I’m not allowed to be there. This annoys me a bit, but I comply. At first I think I will just go around to the other side of a set of shelves, and am being kind of passive aggressive about it by making noise intentionally to disrupt the reading. Then I decide I should be kinder than that (or maybe I just don’t want to get in trouble), and go to find somewhere else to work.

Alternatively, I might have been singing this song around the time that I was going to talk to some debris removal guys about trees on the property of my grandpa’s house. They had been cutting trees that they weren’t supposed to be cutting, and had been rude to property owners who confronted them about it. I was planning to stand up to them if they were rude to me. I ask one guy about the trees he was cutting, and asked if it was necessary to cut them down. He says something that I have difficulty hearing, and I ask him to repeat it. It’s something about a tornado. He’s telling me that there had been a tornado warning, I think, but it was past now.

…Trying to figure out if/how I can tune into the Bible study or Church service before or after I travel somewhere. I wanted to go in person, but then I thought maybe I could join online…

…Something about a politician somewhere (Texas, maybe?) that is accused of something. I’m not quite sure what it was. Something about getting funding for something but having a conflict of interests…

I ascend to the upper level of the home and the scene dims a bit. I walk forward and my awareness raises. I’m lucid. I feel like I want to travel back down to ground level and figure that phasing straight through a couple floors will be the easiest way. I phase my body into the floor, yet don’t pop out to the lower level; I seem to be…stuck fully in the floor. I phase back out and figure I’ll just explore a bit more. I head forward, yet begin to wake up.

Scrabble trouble

I'm playing online Scrabble, my opponent finds lots of long words, I'm struggling, I try to hook a long word with letters but I'm running out of time, I just put my S for SE (surprised it's valid), my opponent hooks the word in return, I put my Q for QI.

Forest beats and beasts

I'm an Indian guy who often makes sounds in a forest, a train passes near me, then I'm me, lying down in the forest, doing strange movements and noises, like I'm having a seizure. Then I am in another forest to go beatbox, but there are dangers like snakes. If one bites me, I'd be too far from the city for treatment, and if I run, the venom will act faster. Then I'm fighting a black bear, and playing dead in front of a brown bear.

Cozy register, hardstyle beatboxer



I'm a cashier, no clients are here, it is dark, the only lights are candles. I don't want to turn on the lamp because it is too bright. An old lady is watching the cameras. I still manage to waste time sitting at the cash register without getting caught, then I finally start to help my colleagues organizing stuff. One of them struggles to cut a brown napkin with scissors, cutting on the tempo of the hardstyle beat (with Kenozen bass) of Kaji's beatboxing : "Bass, Sugar, Ride, Better, *four words forgotten*", sometimes Better becomes Drop, and the words are written on the napkin

This is tied with my first night for my weakest night yet. Actually it might've beaten it. And I didn't do much during the day either. Was busy. I only get a 1-day weekend this week due to work (really need a new job).

I have not figured out how to have awesome LDs consistently. However, this competition so far has really helped my recall. I am going to keep on this trajectory and hopefully I will start to finally become a skilled lucid dreamer after all these years.

Until then....Here's my tiny little baby entry.

Dream (Non-Lucid, brief): I was lost in a creepy but pretty forest with occasional houses. There were these streets called Drury Lane (but no muffins ) and Creep Lane (how original).

I did see Jamie make an effort for more affectionate dreams but it seemed to backfire?

Jamie 1

I was in Jamie's dream space where there's a house on a farm. I was nervous about going into the house to see her. There were robots doing renovations on some barns. I was helping one of the robots who had an English accent. He seemed to be like the " Stuttering Bill." Robot from the final Dark Tower book. I remember climbing some crazy ladder but that's it.

Jamie 2

I was taking a cross country trip on a Greyhound bus. Crossed the border in the eastern states. Forgot what I did there.

On the way back a bus was full, but I was provided someone with a blue car. I sat in the back. Suddenly Packer was there, the one Mormon guy who went on a mission to Africa. I remember saying to make sure you sleep much of the way. I noticed the roads seemed icy but I trusted the driver.

Packer was now gone and Jamie was in his place. She put her hand over mine. I noticed she was wearing fancy gloves. I grabbed her hand putting my palm over hers and lightly held it. She was like: No! Not that way! She grabbed my hand again and seemed to indicate to Interlock fingers. But she wasn't happy with that either. I was like: I only know 2 ways, what other ways are there? She just looked upset and Impatient with me. I was getting really frustrated.

I woke up to her voice apologizing for the dream. She said I did it right but something else was bothering her, maybe something she did? Still why take it out on me?

Gross

I had a false awakening in the middle of having sex with someone. It wasn't Jamie and it didn't feel right. Especially when I noticed, "Satan," and, "666". Tattooed on their behind. I stopped and began looking for my clothes. The person wasn't upset with me. Still I felt gross and wrong and that what I was doing really wasn't me. I was on the floor looking for my clothes when I woke up.

The wheel of Time

I was in the Wheel of Time books. ( The season ended so now I'm taking up the books. Both reading some parts and audio books other parts ). I'm in the part where Nynaeve wakes up from everyone escaping Shadar logoth. I'm messing with a white computer case by a river. Nynaeve asks what I'm doing? I look around and realize that what I'm doing in that setting must be bizarre. I almost decided to laugh it off and say: you were looking for a white tower. Here's one. But I just woke up.

Bad apple

Jamie asks me to slice her an apple? In the kitchen all the fruit is rotten. I go to slice one and it's rotten. One part looks fine so I try to cut it out. But when I look back it's rotten also.

Still hoping for better dreams.

1. The Chef
I’m walking with a group in a dim area and become lucid. I fly forward a bit in the dim area that looks somewhat like a theater and consider searching for dream characters. The dream dims rapidly and I begin to go to void. I stop and breathe slowly, getting a feel for my dream body and stabilizing. I get ready for teleport and begin waiting for a new scene. Soon, a small square window begins to form in the middle of my visual field. I see what appears to be the back of a vehicle forming and I grab on. I’m gripping the back of a large delivery truck as it heads down a road. I climb higher, yet there’s quite a bit of resistance. I reach the top and see several people sitting on top of several metallic sacks. I figure heading upward is a waste of time and I drift off and begin to fly toward the side of the road, beyond the car just behind the vehicle. There’s some type of shop area ahead and I fly into the walkway next to it. I pass by a rack of what appears to be herbs in small containers. I grab one to eat the contents, but figure it’ll taste nasty and simply put it back. I figure I’ll just look for a burger place instead; I’m a bit hungry. I fly up ahead a bit and see a few shops to the right. I curve into one of them. I hear sizzling and see a lady cooking some slices of meat on a skillet in an area set into the left side of the shop. I ask for a burger. She nods in agreement and begins to pull one up using a spatula. I begin to wake up.


2. Floating City Square
I’m talking to a fairly tall man outside of a tall building. I become lucid.
“We’re dreaming, man ” I tell him with a small as I put my hand forward, touching him and telling him to follow me. I see a lady on a phone and laugh, saying that there’s no need for it. I grab the phone, toss it, then grab the lady and fling her several hundred yards ahead, high into the sky. I then tk her back to the ground, placing her down where she was. She is highly translucent however. I head forward and I see the road fork to the left, leading to a wide road between tall tan buildings, and another section heads to the right - I head that way. The right path leads to an alcove with a small kitchen area. Light tan counters are situated on three of the walls comprising the kitchen perimeter, yet have somewhat of a bathroom counter type look. I enter and consider finding something eat. I see what appears to be a pepper shaker and figure I should basic summon something. I decide on a shampoo bottle due to the bathroom type feel. I turn yet don’t see anything. I leave the area and head down the main walkway down the left path. I begin to fly down, yet the dream begins to go to void. I hold my awareness, yet the dream begins to feel as though it’s waning.

Regained Lucidity.
I’m in a dim area next to somebody. I become lucid. I head forward in the room, yet the dream becomes dim once again.
Soon, I see some objects that appear to be palm trees. They comprise just the center of my visual field. Beautiful purples hues begins to fill in around the massive palm trees, as though it’s just past sunset. I begin to make my way into the scene and the visuals suddenly fill my entire visual field. The scene rapidly turn to daytime and I begin flying toward a floating stone platform. As I draw nearer, I notice that It appears to be a city center. I continue to fly steadily and begin to notice many small humanoids walking around the floating platform, milling around several structures, at least one pyramidal in shape. I float above the area, considering exploring, yet notice that there aren’t any interesting buildings to explore. I look below to ground level, sitting about one hundred yards below and notice that an entire town is beneath me. I figure there will be some interesting shops there. I begin to fly down to the town, yet wake up.

Coin Search:
I wakeup in a hotel in California, where I just was a few weeks ago.
Out of habit I do a hands reality check. I only have four fingers per hand (no thumbs).
I follow-up with a nose reality check to verify. I can breathe. I become lucid.
I try to remember what I want to do, but the first thing to occur to me is to look for DV coins in my pocket like I planned.
I start rummaging in my pockets and feel a bunch of textures of what feel like large pieces of plastic, but no coin.
I realize the acronym EV I've been rehearsing, means Engage-Verbalize, so I start rubbing the walls and saying "this is a dream, I'm dreaming, this is a dream..."
But my lucidity fades fast.
...
I'm at the same hotel, but this time I'm with my girlfriend, her sister KH, and KH's husband SH.
We're playing a game, where I was supposed to have hidden a number of beers for them to find.
I'm trying to stealthily hide the beers as they look for them, and simply pretend that they are well hidden.
Later I notice that my friend PG is there as well.

Pop-Ups:
I'm at an art contest with my friend JM.
I notice that he has created an epic work of art over time and feel very jealous.
I decide to tough it out and try my best, so I pull out my phone to get a reference picture.
But when I try to open the browser, pop-ups keep appearing where I am trying to tap.
It is very frustrating, and I wake up feeling annoyed.

Fragment:
I'm in a park, playing a game.
I'm trying to get over a hill.
...
I'm heating a mask, it is a sort of exploit for a game we are playing.
...
I'm at highschool graduation and somebody is getting a religion-related honor.

I was sitting at my bed looking out the window when I noticed how relaxed I was feeling. it was around 8am and I decided to try and lay down for a lucid dream.
For about an hour I was experiencing hallucinations, like half dream half reality. It felt like I could control the hallucinations and do things when I knew I was still awake and could move around. I saw books, a game controller and through focus I could actually move the images around, similar to projecting I guess.
When finally I felt myself falling. I was sleeping.
Similar to how my other WILDs start it was pretty dark and minimal 3d looking structures I was falling through.
I decided to exert control and stopped myself from falling. And interestingly enough as I felt the resistance of my opposition to myself falling, the dream world created itself. Looked cartoony and video game like, I saw a Library with many identical simple book shelves below, at this point I'm pretty high up and fly down to the ground..
It felt pretty unstable so as I began walking I started naming everything out loud what I could see to stabilize everything.
"Book Shelf", "Door", "Desk", "Patrick?"
I saw Patrick star from SpongeBob outside holding a sign that said something. I exited the building and began walking towards him. but the more I walked the further away he became.
"Walking wont work so I'll just zoom in."
My vision quickly zoomed forwards and now I was standing right in front of him. He looked like a video game asset, not really alive and just smiling with a basic idle animation. I lost interest in him and forgot to read what he was holding.
Now remembering what I wanted to do the next time I became lucid I tried to look at my hands to start a summoning ability that I had planned in advance.
"aaand I don't have hands....or a body..."
Just remembering the motion of what I did in waking and managed to pull the ability off. It wasnt how I imagined it but it worked.
I summoned a green portal from rick and morty with a throwing motion, but where I summoned it was on a wall that was pretty rocky and curved. So it seems the dream decided to destroy the face of the rock in an explosion, flattening it and allowing the green portal to spawn against a flat surface.
"Rick come out!"
Rick came out of the portal like I wanted but like Patrick he had no life, just appeared to be a video game asset with basic animation. oh well.
"Rick take me to the Alien planet!" I said as I marched into the portal, I had attempted to bring him with me but I had no limbs to guide him with me.
Once I went though the portal everything turned brown/green and I couldn't make anything out for a bit.
I began shouting "Where are the aliens!?"
When I opened my eyes and saw myself in bed, couldn't move. I was experiencing sleep paralysis and was now feeling a bit disappointed it seemed to be coming to an end. I closed my eyes attempting to revisualize the world but the next time I opened my eyes I was awake again.

WBTB, started experiencing hypnogogic hallucinations when suddenly I was floating down through some weird space, it was really dark but I could make out 3d structures. There appeared to be floors and walls but it didn't look right, more like a wire frame then an actual object. I was just uncontrollably floating down through and passing through them. Until finally I woke back up.

First(this one was about a week ago), after I became lucid, I decided to fly around, and I saw two mountains, I carefully chose this taller on that had a weird pattern, and then fly around it and managed to make a cave appear on it and I flew into the cave and saw a different world.

Second(last night), shortly after becoming lucid I was swallowed by a giant whale like sea monster, but I willingly went in and then sort of phased into it, dispersed my body into dust so I didn't have a physical body, and then became the giant whale thing, and had fun swimming and eating fish.

Got my first LD of the comp ! I was too tired to do everything I wanted in it, but that's still progress. First succesfull WILD of the comp, after my 2nd WBTB of the night.

Black = Non-lucid dream recall
Blue = Lucid dream recall

Super Mario News



A news anchor who looks like the singer Mika is waiting for Trump to confirm a move before he can start the news. A 10-second countdown begins. *Glitching animated image of him* To present the news, he plays Super Mario Bros. There's Bowser as a casual enemy. But the game wasn't coded properly : less gravity so everything is slower, no sounds when Mario takes a mushroom or a star... The presenter still enthusiastically comments the letsplay, swears, answers the chat...

Monsters (feat. Monster)

At my brother's house, in the bathroom, I imagine a streamer playing Tekken 7. Then at my parents house, at night, two nephews are sleeping, I go to the bathroom, but bad thoughts enter my mind : I imagine monsters appearing (a giant purple caterpillar and some others), while "Monster" by Meg & Dia is playing in my head. I brush my teeth and go back to my room, luckily no monsters appeared

Too sleepy to sing along (FA, LD)

At my brother's house, in my bed, some family arrives, my brother-in-law gives me a lamp and some phone chargers, I ask them if it's a dream or not (just to be sure), no answer. Then a nephew comes over to me, I dap him up, and he begins singing. I morph him into another nephew two times. Then I'm alone, still in bed, my hand is very blurry, as if erased. I hear snoring next to me, I'm too tired to continue the dream. I fall back asleep and open my eyes again, wanting to continue the lucid dream, but I woke up...

Hypnagogic Imagery: I had just played Orion Drift VR shortly before getting ready for bed, and my brain played a loop of me riding on the zip line/hyperloop thing. Arm raised in the air and space zooming past me I could also feel the controllers in my hands.

I am hoping to play a lot more of that game in the future so it will be interesting to see if it takes more of a presence in my dreams. I'm too tired to do it right now, though.

Non-lucid: Pokemon got a dark theme. (I don't remember exactly what this meant from my journal.) I was at the local pool but riding the steep water slide that is unnamed but I like to call The Purifier (because it will make you repent of all your sins). It wasn't steep though, unlike its real-life counterpart, and it was filled with kids. It was a super tame slide. I either rode the slide or got out of line, and saw my dad and my sister. My dad started asking me questions about myself but referred to me in the third person, like I was not actually myself, which was weird.
