Day 10:

Non lucid -
First thing I remember is that I was in my room and my brother was on the edge of the bed. Was trying to use my laptop, but for some reason it was buggy and my mouse kept moving too much. I thought it was a computer virus that I forgot the name of.
Turns out he was moving my mouse around and there was no virus.

Memory gap. I'm heading out of an auditorium. it's actually just my old school. I head to the grade 6 science room. While I'm headed there, I hear rumors that there's an 'animation studio' in the school now.
Inside the room, my old computer teacher was there. He didn't seem to know what he was doing. I could probably do better than him, I think.

Memory gap again. I'm playing Minecraft now at a void base. A warden spawns, notices me through glass, and kills me with a laser.
A chicken falls down into the void after I respawn.
Then a new warden spawns somewhere else and kills me again.

Day 11 (today):

Frag -
I was having a non-lucid but something was a little off: The sound and vision of the dream had little to do with each other. I was hearing people talking about lucid dreaming, while I was trying to do something else I forgot.

Frag 2 -
ELD changed his profile picture, and the thumbnails of all his videos. He also renamed the channel to something else.

Lucid -
I don’t remember how I got lucid. But as soon as I did, I just flew. No crazy stuff happened, I just flew through a wintery valley for what felt like half an hour. It was kind of fun to just do that.

Counting up the points

Full non-lucid: +1
2 dream frags: +1
DILD: +10
4 WBTB (nightly, not subsequent): +8
Fly: +5

Total: 25

I began lucid dreaming today 2 years ago. This is a pretty good start for the next year to come, as last night I recalled 3 non-lucid frags, had 1 DILD, and 1 WILD. I didn’t complete any dream control goals.

(This journal entry contains spoilers for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Part 8: Jojolion)

Non-lucid:
I was reading some Jojolion (Seemed like the chapters with the stand that removed your ability to differentiate faces and words).
It was the part where Yasuho thought she was talking to Josuke, but it was really Joshu.
Memory gap, then I was reading a panel of Josuke and Yasuho finding each other and discussing how they were going to defeat the stand user (this panel doesn’t exist irl).
The dream transferred the scene to me laying in bed with my dog.
Then I woke up.

DILD:
I found myself in my old school’s gym. We were playing hockey, and I was doing horribly.
I was kind of getting embarrassed, and then I nonchalantly figured out I was dreaming.
I exited the gym through the door to the left of the stage. In the halls, my brother and his friend walked out. I got kind of scared, seeing as he previously loved to ruin my lucids. So I noclipped into the floor above, but it was too late. He grabbed me and then I woke up.

WILD:
I woke up from a non-lucid dream I no longer recall, and kept my eyes closed, and thought that just maybe I could chain it into a lucid.
And it happened. A very faint dream formed, one where I was able to reality check. I did the nose-pinch test, and it worked. However, I quickly realized that this dream was really faint and unvivid— I quickly “woke up” into a false awakening.
I did the nose-pinch test again to check if I was really awake, and I breathed through my nose, an indication that I’m dreaming. However, my brain rationalized this somehow as me just having a stuffy nose (there’s no way that logic would work out??). So I went non-lucid again.
I walked out of my room, into the living room, and my dog was wide awake and sitting on the couch.
Went into the kitchen. I acknowledged the ‘feeling’ I was getting of still being in bed dreaming, but I didn’t connect the dots.
Then I woke up, ironically. Chaining the lucid did not work.

Day 2: March 3rd, 2023
Very long non-lucids, with a DILD at the end

(This journal contains midgame area spoilers for Ori and the Blind Forest.
Also, if you are a sensitive person who doesn’t like hearing about death, I advise you to hold off on reading the 2nd dream.)

Dream 1 -
I was at a school/hospital or something like that. My mother needed to go there for something.

I don't know where this is, but I could've sworn there was something about Synapse X or Roblox in this dream. Or, well, this feeling of the dream reminds me of it.

Here's when the plot starts to diverge in my memory. I don't know what came first.
I think the first thing that happened is that I went to the room my mother was in, and saw she was in a vault. On the left side of it, there was a little light that was turned on, and next to it was a white label: "BLOOD DONATION" .

Memory gap happens.
I go back to this lobby-ish area in the school. Theres a couple small sofas and chairs.

Maybe the next thing that happens - I got on my laptop, and fired up Ori and the Will of the Wisps. I went onto my main save > quick access. It turns out, in this dream, there was quick access options for Blind Forest areas, like the misty woods, ginso tree escape, etc.
I went onto the Misty Woods quick access, and saw that it was just the entire misty woods, except I had WOTW abilities, like spirit edge.

After playing for a while, I get to that one area with a laser puzzle, where the platforms invert every time you jump. Except this time, it's not that puzzle, its a fight with 3 things.. I don't remember what these things are. But I die to them, I think. I don't remember what happens next in this section of the dream. I'll move onto another.

The other thing that happened somewhere in this dream, is a Minecraft section. It wouldn't be a non-lucid without a minecraft part, of course.
In this minecraft dream, it was an augmented reality game of sorts that a youtuber was playing. It also seemed mojang-endorsed, very corporate. I don't actually remember much about this section of the dream -- I'll leave it at that.

Next, I hear a kid spreading rumors that I'm a reality shifter. I think his words were along the lines of "He shifts his consciousness.." Or something like that. I couldn't make the words out well.

After that, I was downloading some file from a website. You could use a dropdown menu to pick what file type it is, and i chose .rar
I think I was getting scolded for choosing that by my mother.

Suddenly the dream switched subjects to my mother opening an image I created with Sticknodes (supposedly a meme of some sorts. I had a fake memory of creating it)
My brother, who wasn't even in the room, somehow saw it and was telling me that even though it was extremely trash, it would still do well on something like the SN discord or SN youtube.

Dream 2 -
I start at my house I think, on a 3DS. I see that some of my old messages with dono are still there, and I'm wondering if im able to find him again and talk to him.
Suddenly, yup, I've found him. And due to dream logic, he immediately appears.
He doesn't look like how he did in those video calls though. He was black. And he didn't look like a kid either.
I don't really wanna go in-depth with this part. It makes me uncomfortable.
Anyway, later the dream decides to switch scenes to a big city. It's very large, dark, and open. Like a cyberpunk one.
There's kids playing hide-and-seek. I don't know why, but I'm in the game too I guess. It felt like a VR fever dream.
I remember one part where I was climbing into a small area and a kid followed me. Then I saw that there actually was someone hiding in the small area but he escaped before I could tag him.
I have another memory gap. Then I see that a giant fucking monster made of buildings is crushing the city and killing everyone. One car with a child and her mother got split in half, with the mother crushed to death and the child falling off the bridge into water where it presumably drowned.
The dream literally had me instant-replay this moment several times from different perspectives, so I think it was a fictional event and not dying ""IRL"" in the dream.
That's all I remember from that dream.

I had a DILD before dream 1 and 2 though:
I don't remember literally anything about this, except that I dove into the ground, attempted that dream control method that Mzzkc was talking about, and failed. I think I woke up after that but I don't remember.

Day 3 (Today, March 4, 2023)

[This dream is just notes, since I didn’t feel like writing the entire thing out.]
I was the impostor in among us irl game and there was more abilities this time
I almost won the game but in the end I was voted
I went to this weird place and I don’t feel like explaining it but there was a guy who took my iPad and then locked it forever, but he did a shitty job because I could still use apps like n+otes

I was packing my stuff to walk home I guess, but my brother told me to just get in the car and it’ll auto drive
We stopped at some sort of party that the entire family was having, but I just walked to my grandmother’s house
I got to it and then hopped in the shower, where I realized I was dreaming
But the dream nearly ended and I was stuck with one dream eye open seeing the showerhead. I don’t remember after that
— — —

So yeah. Gotta add up all my points.

I did WBTB for all 3 days +3
Remembered 2 non-lucids +2
Had 2 DILDS (On separate days, not subsequent) +20

Total for the past 3 days: 25 points 29 points (The host has clarified in DMs that I gathered 29 points, not 25)

Playing tf2.
I was on pl_upward, on blu team, as a spy. I was next to blu spawn, on the building where snipers usually sit. So I disguised as a blue sniper
(Immediate few dream signs here. As a spy, I’d try being behind the lines of the enemy team, and I wouldn’t be disguising as a blue sniper anyway because I never disguise as my own team.)
Looking to the left of the building, I see a mirrored version of it (which doesn’t exist in the real pl_upward), with a red sniper on it.
The red sniper comes to the building I’m on. He appears to be friendly though.
I look down below the building, and I see many players causing chaos and fighting.
(I don’t remember exactly how many players were down there, but it was definitely way over 24, which is the player cap for casual tf2 servers. This is another dream sign.)
That’s all I remember right now from this dream.
