dream fragment

Something to do with Legos. There was a building challenge where you had to buy five or ten of the same set and build something cool with it.

I was in the park in my neighborhood. It was cloudy/overcast. There was no grass, the ground had just been replaced with hard, dry topsoil, and all the trees were there but they were dead husks of what they were originally. I remember seeing my dream self there. Somebody was talking about tattooing an arrow onto the forehead of my dream-self. I shooed them away and said "That's mine".

Something weird was going on here. I was my waking life self, but my dream self was in the dream too. I remember I was periodically phasing into my dream-self's body and becoming more lucid, then returning to my own body. When I was in my own body, my dream-self would still be present, but he was like a robot. He had a very blank expression and would just follow me around and obey basic commands, and moved with a very robotic demeanor.

But when I phased into my dream-self, my waking self would completely disappear. I remember thinking to myself that my phasing in and out of my dream-self was indicative of my level of lucidity. I remember thinking how normally I do 100 counts in meditation, but yesterday, I stopped around 50. I thought to myself "Huh, half the meditation, half the lucidity..." (Without realizing that at that level, if I would have just been able to realize what was actually going on, I could have broken through to full lucidity with basically no effort...)

Something to do with these seven girls from my college. They had this ritual of, every Thursday, spending their paychecks on beer. They would go to a subway station and play this Jeopardy-type trivia game. There was also some reason that we were in a subway station, it was somehow related to simcity 4 and I was building too many subways in the city that nobody would use. (This is actually a bad habit of mine when I play any simcity game is to go a little... overboard with my mass transportation.)

Each time they got a question right they would chug a can of beer. This meant that the game was balanced, so if someone was doing well at answering questions, they would get more drunk and start to fall behind, and the game essentially ended with everyone wasted, and for whatever reason, I was the host of this competition.

Anyways I asked some $100 question about renewable energy in Europe and everyone got it right, so they all drank beers. Immediately after the first beer, all seven of them were drunk and it broke down into a "who could stomach the most beer before throwing up" contest.

There was also something to do with the seven sins and each of the girls was representing one of them. I'm not sure if this was some kind of symbol or just a part of the characters they put on when they played this game.

I did a WBTB after waking up from this dream and went to the bathroom.

I remember going online and finding a comic strip that I had started drawing in 2009, and worked on again in 2012. Someone told me that I should finish it and publish it to make money (reason being that I had to pay a toll to drive a crappy tugboat that I also lived on through the panama canal...?)

I remember looking through the old comic that was in a big thick hardcover book. The cover was plain red but the first page was left blank. After that was a really detailed waist-up drawing of an anthropomorphic moose woman with a quilted scarf around her neck. There was no diaolouge bubbles in the comic (I think there might have been some notes scrawled in the margins on what the story was about, but I didn't read em) I was able to figure out parts of the story just by reading it.

The moose woman seemed to be in progress of infiltrating an island fortification protected by these large cube shaped robot sentinels with disproportionately small legs and numerous searchlights in order to steal some kind of teapot. The robot sentinels were painted bright yellow with red polka dots on the cube parts but were gray and mechanical in the searchlight mechanisms. The teapot was kept deep underground in a vault. When the moose woman reached the teapot she was caught by a character who looked like Marcus. There were several secret service guys around her pointing strange weapons (Looked like laser pistols from the fallout series). It seemed to be a dialogue scene but since there were no speech balloons I couldn't figure out what the characters were talking about.

The comic seemingly cut off. It changed to a more simplistic cartoonly style. It was something Steven Universe related and I was wondering how I could have been ripping off of Steven Universe in a comic strip that I supposedly drew before the show ever came out. I then came to the conclusion that somehow the person who made SU stole from me. I turned the pages. There was what looked like a page from the Avatar Comics spliced in there, and a few pages of weird hybrid images that seemed to be depicting a crossover between avatar and SU. It seemed to be a diaolouge-heavy scene but there were no word ballons.

There were several pages of sketches and 'storyboards' of comics, and . I skipped over them wanting to get back to the beautiful, full color comics from before, even if there were no word bubbles I was enjoying looking at the pictures and trying to figure out what on earth the story was about. I think I found a few more pages of completed comic art but forgot what the subject matter was. I flipped back to the earlier pages promising to make more of an effort to decipher what happened in them, but when I turned back to the pages they were reduced to an incomprehensible mess of scribbles and sketches.

I said something to the guy running the lock about my tugboat. He said that the boat was hardly worth a penny in the condition it was in. I said that I wanted to clean up the boat and repair it to make it worth more. I remember getting this rush of motivation to clean it up. I began looking through the rooms of the boat (that had been sort of a makeshift house of mine) and finding piles of junk in them. The guy charging me to use the lock sat down with a calculator and started calculating how much the junk items I sold him would be worth.

The first thing I threw out were two tricycles meant for very small kids. One was princess themed and the other was slightly larger and teenage mutant ninja turtle themed. I then threw away a broken umbrella, a box of old newspapers, etc. I cleaned out the main living room on the boat and then washed the metal walls with dish soap and repainted them. I remember there being some moral about taking good care of where you live, because chances are it will take care of you.

Dream carried on with my life in the room on the tugboat. I lived there, but it was also where I worked. Now I had a nicer place to live not full of junk that I had collected.

I was on my college campus. I remember the campus had experienced something strange, that tectonic activity had apparently acted on a particular mineral below the ground of the campus. The mineral caused there to be pockets of negative gravity. They weren't dangerous because if you stepped inside of one, you'd float up for a bit, but hit the top of the negative gravity bubble then be moved off to the side by wind currents or imperfections in the field and be moved to the border of the field where normal gravity would slightly rule out the negative gravity and force you downwards slowly. In other-words the

These were fun to play in. People made up games where they would throw rocks into the negative gravity wells and they would shoot upwards and they would try to get their rock the highest just by throwing it forward.

A female and male scientist pair were sitting there with a computer and some scanning equipment (their scanning equipment looked like several electric guitar amps wired to a fancy laptop) and they showed me computer visualizations of the gravity bubbles. They were just that, bubbles, sphere shapes. But they talked about how the gravity bubbles would increase exponentially because as they spread, they would activate more of the mineral and align the crystals to expand and join the bubbles until they formed a massive bubble hundreds of miles wide.

I remember going inside of one of the buildings. Parts of the building had gravity bubbles inside of them. Campus workers had built plywood ramps that slowly inverted students and staff to walk on the wall and ceiling as they passed in and out of bubbles. I had to go to the advising office to talk about something. Everything in the office had been moved from the floor to the ceiling. I had had a boring conversation with the advisor (don't remember it.)

I went back outside to meet my friends S and C. They asked me if I wanted to play with them in the gravity bubbles. I would have said yes but my Taekwondo Instructor appeared and said explained a plot about a guy who was an executive of this corporation who wanted to mine the gravity mineral and use it to power something for his corporation. He was supposed to be banned from it but there was a loophole in the law and if he could make it across campus and turn in a certain form before a certain time that day he couldn't get the permit to open his mine.

I remember we began chasing after him. Then the scientists approached me again and informed us that we shouldn't try to get across campus because the gravity bubbles were cascading out of control faster than they had originally anticipated. We went after the guy anyway.

We eventually tracked him down to this part of campy that does not exist in waking life. It looked like we were somewhere in Venice or this Italian city. There were these large white brick houses with red roofing tiles and vines growing up the side, and this big archway structure. We saw the corporate guy who looked like Amit from Infected Mushroom. He had his son with him and his son had a bodyguard. We tried to confront him but apparently the guy, his son, and his bodyguard knew martial arts too. He tried to warn us to back off and he did all these flips and kicks and stuff but we didn't back down and we started fighting everyone.

I got stuck fighting the son's bodyguard. He was a big guy, suprisingly agile for someone of his size and he seemed to be getting the upper hand (dag nabbit if I was lucid this would be a different story). I kept stepping back and avoiding his strikes. I remember stepping back into a wall and walking up the side of the wall. (Not congruent with how the gravity bubbles were explained to work earlier.)

...

I don't recall how but we managed to turn the tide of the fight. We tied up the son and his bodyguard with vines but the businessman got away and signed the deal to mine the mineral. Somehow, even though this had only happened over the span of a couple minutes there was already a huge mining complex with chutes, hoppers, a large tower, and a railway linkup constructed where the dorms should have been on my college campus. The man was standing on a stage talking about how he was going to use the gravity-defying mineral to create flying cars.

Then the scientists came and said that the gravity bubble had collapsed (despite the fact that we were not all floating) but it was now pulling all of the world's oceans towards this one spot. I could see a big tsunami (about 50 feet tall) coming through the trees. I climbed to the top of a building. The dream blurred out there.

I remember false awakening and signing on to dreamviews. I wrote up the first three dreams of this entry, with time skipping most of the actual writing and it being me just remembering key details of them hoping and refresing them in my mind, probably the reason I come to you all with four nonlucid/semilucid dreams, and posted them as a dream journal entry.

DreamCafe had commented on my entry almost the moment I put it up. It was a link to my art thread where she had posted a picture. The picture was of her and all three of her regular guides sitting on the end of a bed. From left to right was Dawn, who was reading a newspaper, Cafe herself holding a cake with a birthday candle, Eye, in boxer shorts and sleep deprived looking, and Kiro with a cone party hat and a big present. There was a heart-shaped foil balloon tied to the bed post by Kiro that said "happy birthday".

I remember the picture was also done in a style that resembled her art. The color pallate was interesting too. The background was grayish/purplish, and each of the guides were outlined in a dark shade of their respective color. The foil balloon was the only thing that looked different since it had full colors and looked realistic rather than drawn. It looked like it had been cut out of a photograph and photo-shopped into her drawing.

The internal logic behind it being a birthday was that it was the anniversary of the day she had first managed to lucid dream.

I remember downloading the drawing and opening it myself in Photoshop. I wanted to see what was on the newspaper. The headline said something about a famous white racing horses head that had been replaced with a bird's head. I thought it was funny. I tried to zoom in further to read the actual text but it became too pixelated. I could read the headline on the back of the first page that read "Scientists have confirmed that energy from renewable sources is the same color as regular energy." This had something to do with the question that I asked to the drunk girls in the second dream.

1,000 words short of that other really dream journal. (Maybe I should give up on LUCID dreaming and try to see how many non-lucid dreams and fragments I can recall in a single night.)

Slept quite soundly today. Too soundly, as I drifted off each time I was recalling a dream. In the end, I'm only left with a few vague memories.

Scrap Group 1
Soemthing about wandering in an urban environment.

Watching Dragon Ball Super. A female God of Destruction (similar to Beerus) gets angry at and fights with Whis. She grows giant and tries to eat him.

WBTB attempt at the end. Was far too alert to go back to sleep.

Side notes/thoughts
I was at an amusement park with my mother but it seemed water themed. Everything was getting really wet. We had some pizza but it didn’t look very good so I passed.

Something about a video game sort of like T.A.B.S but 2-D and having more insane things (Like orbital cannons)

Something about an role playing game with a bunch of different monsters.

This red haired lady kept talking to me about lucid dreams, but every time I did a reality check I would become lucid and then have a false awakening with the red haired lady next to me. At one point my cat and a clone of him both attacked me causing me to become lucid. I tried summoning Fictional character 1 and It worked. Then I had a false awakening. This happened about six times but unlike the others not lucid until finally I woke up IWL. I decided to do a DEILD and succeeded getting back into the dream. (I'm quite certain however that I was just thinking I had woken up, so I'll count this just as nothing.) This time I was more lucid and two bad guys were chasing me so I decided to do more element manipulation. I felt my hands and the air around them heating up rapidly but it didn’t quite work. Instead I throw the hot air towards one of the guys and he burst into flames. Then I woke up. The entire time I didn’t do any stabilization so that’s why I kept failing.



Competition points!
First DILD of the Night - 10 points
Reality Check / Stabilization - 1 point
Interact with a Dream Character - 2 points
Advanced Summoning - 10 points + 5 points for fictional. (I summoned Fictional character 1 directly in my vision.)
Element Manipulation - 10 points (That fireball)
3 dream fragments 1 1/2 points!
Total: 39 and 1/2 points!

I am playing Rainbow Moon (immediately obvious due to its distinct interface), although there are some subtle differences in the gameplay mechanics that aren’t present in the actual game. I might or might not be aware of these differences.

I am walking through a parking lot. It is either a large, paved lot with defined spaces (like any lot in a grocery store or shopping mall) or an unpaved, dirt lot in the open countryside. It may be both.

I am editing a large piece of text in Microsoft Word. I wake up just as I am about to take the hyphen out of a word that doesn’t need it.

My only memory is my last dream/hallucination. I was 18 (26 in real life), and I had a girlfriend who was a lot younger (also BS, I've never had a girlfriend ever). I thought (or told her, not sure) about how the age difference was okay - in a few years, it wouldn't be so awkward anymore. Time possibly moved very fast, fast-forwarding through the years.

I became lucid after a MILD during a WBTB. I remember the dream being extremely vivid, it was lifelike. I don't think I've ever had a dream this vivid before! I was standing in the living room, in my grandmother's apartment. I decided I would fly. I remember reading someone's dream in waking life where they just phased through the roof while flying. I started levitating, flew up and... hit my head on the ceiling. I wasn't going very fast, but the pain was very real.

I figured that if I want to fly, I should go to the balcony. I went there and remembered some tips I read about flying, such as imagining the clouds were sucking me up, but I became afraid and just turned around and walked back to the living room (next time I'm going to tell myself that there's no gravity). While I was there, I started thinking about how I wanted to meet Yuu, a character I created in waking life and have always wanted to meet (I created a house for her where 2 other characters also live, I've been trying to get there for a while). I think I tried to open a portal, but failed. Suddenly, I heard someone talking in the kitchen. I tought it must have been the housekeeper and that she could help me find Yuu.

I went to the kitchen and there was a woman there, she was pretty attractive. I fondled her a bit (I've been trying to avoid wasting time with sexual stuff, but sometimes I get distracted) and she disappeared. Another woman appeared and I asked her for help. She somehow called an elevator which appeared on the kitchen's wall and we entered it. It was a pretty normal elevator with beige walls and some numbers. I asked which one was Yuu's apartment and she told it was 11, then pressed the button. When the door opened we were in some kind of house and I think there were some people doing something. I said this was the wrong place and the dream ended.

I also remember some dream fragments. One where I was in a shopping mall's garage arguing with my father and another one that I can barely remember, however I can't remember enough to write anything (mainly all I can remember is a really vague image and a feeling that I can't describe).

Well... I'm getting closer to my goal. I remembered the tips I read about, all I have to do is get over my fear of heights inside the dream.

Spellbee's Summer Lucid Competition 2016 - Entry 10

Fairly salty at today's results, including forgetting an entire DILD, not to mention all the trouble I had sleeping. Still, I did initiate two WILDs, one of which was chained into the other one. There's also some trash fragment later on as well.

Scrap Group 1
An entire DILD gone missing when I first woke up very early in my sleep (stupid random waking thoughts...). Highly certain this included interactions with at least two upper tier Team Instinct members, among a bunch of other stuff. That's gonna cost me big points...

WBTB that unintentionally lasted for an hour and a half.


Dream 1 - WILD At Work

WILD transition. The visuals were blurred. I find myself at my old job, working the register. It was fairly busy.

My awareness drifted as I was attending the first customer, but I slowly realize my state. Even then, I preoccupied myself with the sale, all to see if I'd remembered how to get transactions done on that machine. I fumble and mess around a bit. The customer, frustrated, yells at me. I tell them to calm the hell down.

The dream ends shortly afterwards. I return to a WILD state within a five minute interval.

Dream 2 - Summer Lucid Competition - Day 10

A familiar dizzying sensation marks a successful WILD in bed.

The air from the AC suddenly turns into frigid wind. This reminded me of a previous dream where my dream guide, E was responsible for blowing as much. So, I looked around and called to her. Suddenly, the ghostly moan of a woman echoed in the gusts. I tried getting my (presumed) guide's attention, both verbally, and through a Codec call, but ultimately, I got neither a response nor found anyone around.

Afterwards, I floated around for a bit. This movement was a bit slow and unresponsive. I then fall backwards on the floor and phased right through. From there, I found myself in complete darkness, the area too dim to see whether I was actually downstairs, or in the void. I'd just remembered that previous phasing won't count for points. So, I kicked upwards, and in an instant, I was in my room again.

Hovered around a bit more before I thought to exit through the window. But, I misaim my trajectory, and slam myself headfirst into the wall. What's worse, my eyes were forced shut against my will. Still, I do end up outside, given the sunlight I saw glaring through my eyelids and felt on my skin. Several familiar voices sounded in the distance. These were of Rick and Morty, who were making some banter.

I'm yanked back in bed, and the dream ends immediately afterwards.

Scrap Group 1
Some random celebrity gossip trivia crap.

Your welcome team, I got my A/C fixed. I can sleep better now!

Three Step Goals:
1.Advanced Flying
2.Element Manipulation
3.Mass Telekinesis

New Dream goal: Go to the moon
Old Dream goal: Go to my dream house



D1:Non-lucid: I was at a carnival but not a traditional carnival. It was pretty
abstract & nothing eventful of importance.


Did a wbtb. Got my first wild. And so the chaining begins! I had an
exceptional night due in part to my damn a/c being finally back on. Amen.

D2: wild from the start. Full blown lucids from here on so I don't have to
repeat it. I was with my husband and we were out walking around. I realized I
was dreaming when we saw a skunk & Freeways & buildings were everywhere. I did
a reality check & fucked w/ my husband a little because I think this may be my
first comp w/ him so presently in a lucid dream. I started super jumping up these
freeways & he told me to stop, that I couldn't do that because it was dangerous.
This was amazingly comical because I knew I was dreaming & he was just a character
so he was really freaked out, lol. I laughed a lot because he couldn't do these
crazy things I could but he managed to follow me for the most part by way of these
strange hills & what looked like spill ways (I'm not real sure what they are called)
they are those long concrete things under overpasses & freeways). They were laying
all weird & he mananged pretty well. Anyway, I went up really fast, making impossible
jumps up from freeway to freeway ledges & using super human strength with my hands to
go across them (thank you american ninja warrior for this helpful idea, lol) as they
were getting higher & higher & over & over.
It was really exhillerating! I've never had a
dream quite like this one. So I was gratful I had studied at this point just for
this moment. I scaled a building like spider man which was cool but I lost my husband
in all of this. I then chained into the next dream.

D3: Lucid- Mike was back with me & we were driving through this city that looked like ours
merged w/ the big kind of city I had just left behind in the last dream. There was a
woman in a car w/ 2 kids w/ no seat belts on & she was obviously fleeing someone. Mike
wouldn't follow her to help her like I wanted. We were stopped at a parking garage/toll
booth. I got mad & told him I was getting out. He was basically hindering my chances
of completing more tasks in my opinion. I have a way of wanting to keep my moral fiber
even in my lucid dreams. Sorry people but that's just how I roll. He was yelling at me
and I told him to give me money. I first tried to operate the debit part of the machine
for using an electronic device for points. It didn't work so I summoned money from my
pocket to use instead. He finally gave me money after that because I wanted more to
help the woman with for diapers etc. Hence i finally got the money due to dc manipulation/
mind control because he's fucking stubborn. He was still yelling as I ran away. I ran
superfast around all of these damn buildings that I eventually left the ground for super
speed flying which is much easier. But hell looking back I got some major ass points
for that! Fuck yes! Anyway I landed on a street corner which is where I started to
transition/chain into my 4th & final dream.

D4: Lucid- So now I'm on this street corner where I find the black lady who is talking
to people about the woman I saw in the car w/ the kids in her car basically fleeing
for her life. So I start asking her about the man she is referring to that she is fleeing
from. He is someone I know but haven't seen in a long time. I'm asking her a shit load
of questions about him now because it's all really weird. He just seemed to fall off
the face of the earth in my real life but I'm pretty sure he moved away closer to one
of his children. I'm asking advice which are points, yeah. She tells me the woman in
the car has his 2 kids & they are fighting but she's in such a tizzy she's not sure
of the details. I'm overwhelmed by the man being mentioned so I summon him to appear
in front of me. I freeze time & him to look at him. I'm very angry with him so I just
hold him there. Then I banish him from my sight. Then I'm not even me anymore. It was a full
transformation. My anger turned me into some kind of
angry energy & hurt. I can't describe this. I've never done this or felt this before.

Spellbee's Summer Lucid Competition 2016 - Entry 9

My recall was very poor today. Indeed, I'd forgotten much of all dreams today, including a DILD, as well as an entire dream. Part of this was intentional; I decided a good night's sleep was more important this time. In any case, each dream occurred before the first and last known awakenings, respectively.

Dream 1 - Teal Instinct Dude

The visuals were a bit blurred. All I remember was the end. I was playing Mega Man X, making a run through the metal forest stage. Somehow, I realize it's a dream. I end up summoning a Team Instinct member in-game (if only I could remember who; I only know this was a low-tier), who jumped in from off screen. They appeared as a teal armored, visored Reploid. My partner was very fragile, only able to take one hit before dying. But, the use of any special weapons (a few of which I'm sure were named after Magic - The Gathering cards) granted them a substantial temporary health boost.

The dream ends shortly afterwards.

Unintended WBTB after an unsuccessful DIELD attempt. Took about 15 minutes. Fell asleep unwittingly.


Scrap Group 1
Some Dragon Ball Z dream. Goku and a young Gohan are training. The latter is highly enraged, and attacks his father relentlessly. Cut. I'm wandering in some bleak NYC urban streets. Meet up with my brother Percy in an apartment room. I find my head is shaved. Go outside, where I run across a very wide, dangerous street. I almost got ran over for my trouble. I arrive at a town square. A couple in their early twenties walk ahead. Someone taps my shoulder. I suspect it was the guy ahead of me, and I yell at him, while he insults me. I'm still getting poked while he was way ahead. So, I warned I would kick whoever was behind me if they didn't show themselves. I turn around, and and am surprised to find it was Eustace, an old acquaintance of mine. I questioned his presence, while he wondered how I didn't know he lived and worked in NYC. There's an odd, violet reflection in his irises. As we're walking around a garden/fountain, I sit cross-legged and float around to show off. Pretty sure I was catching on to the dream, but the alarm's buzzing made short work of that.

The dream is somewhat recurring - place is the same and events of previous dream that happened there are mentioned many times.

Fragment

I was in my house, it was a midnight already. I was working in my laptop.

Dream

I was in Rio de Janeiro, in some kind of underground museum complex. I had a strong feeling that I was there before and thought "Again in that city. Maybe this visit would be better than previous one. And I might take some photos this time too!", then I went down some wooden stairs and entered a hallway with exhibits. There were many Christian figures and many other stuff chiseled in a brown rock. In one of the halls there was a strange figurine of Jesus. It looked really creepy in half-darkness, looking at me with ominous smile. I took some photos though, and noticed some arcs of energy on them. I thought "That's strange. Reminds me of previous visit in here.". I wandered some more around the place, visiting places that I've seen before. There were stairways made of black oak, I moved cautiously on them as there were pools with magma and a waterfall to which one could easily fall.

I decided to leave the museum and took a walk, thinking "This city offers a lot of entertainment". There was a great festival, people were dancing and playing on instruments. I took some more photos of festival, huge waterfall and some bay in the moonlight. All the time I saw those arcs of energy on them and got scared of dark god's returning after it was defeated in my last visit. I ran into an abandoned house - place where dark god was defeated last time and wandered in darkness. Wraiths that were damned to haunt that place were aggressive all the time and openly attacked me. I decided to get back into the hotel near museum and find some help. I met pal from previous class there, he reminded me what happened when we last me there, though it didn't had anything to do with dark god. I showed him photos and movies from all around the city and from the haunted house. He believed me, then the dark god have risen and opened up volcanic chasms around the hotel.

Spellbee's Summer Lucid Competition 2016 - Entry 8

Terrible sleep last night. Strong intent and a restless mindset really don't combine well... Despite my lack of sleep, I did manage to have a number of dreams, at least five in total, (not counting that brief WILD entry), including one before my first awakening, several dreams during a bout of hours-long insomnia, and one WILD in between. I've forgotten one non-LD entirely by this point, while two of them are only fragments.

Scrap Group 1
Something about Guilty Gear. Waking thoughts on Zappa's spirit orbs and ghost summons, particularly Raoh.

Intended a 45 minute WBTB, where I wasted half that time on trivia, and used the other half to keep the competition tasks in mind. Cue my not being able to sleep for a long time no matter how comfortable I got.

In a fancy party at an unknown place. My brother, Timothy, was with me. I encounter some friends and acquaintances in a dining room, all being part of my old D&D group, including Allen, "Eddy", and I think Jabir. They were starting a TTRPG session, but it was too late for me to join in. Several books were unrelated (one was for something called "Champions", and a few others were for differing editions of D&D). On asking, I'm told they were just using the artwork. Later, I wander in a reception room filled with well dressed men and women. People were filed in a big line to get appetizers. I saw my sister, Gisella was there. I thought to sample some food, but decided not to. Later, it was revealed that the food was charged at an exorbitant price.

Dream 1 - Top Gear - Armored Edition

A familiar sensation marked a successful WILD.

Through the darkness, an animated image was instantly formed. This seemed as a clip of the SNES racing game Top Gear (unrelated to the English show), background music included (track 4, I believe). However, instead of race cars, the player used tanks and armored vehicles. I took control of a tank. Several traffic barriers and armored trucks barricaded the road at times. In each of these instances, there would be a convenient ramp in place, which the tank could make use of somehow. It was either that, or plow right through at the cost of slowing oneself down.

The dream faded and ended in about two minutes.

Dream 2 - Magical Dwarven Studies

The visuals were blurred. I was in a very small and cramped classroom.n There was just enough space to occupy no more than ten other adolescent students, as well as the unknown female teacher's desk.

Soon, the teacher gave a lecture on Dwarf Fortress, of all things. We were tasked with finding the most productive location within a given generated 195 year old world. We'd access to some holographic device, of which displayed the entire game world in top-down 3D. This even showed the various hidden sites and structures (such as cave entrances), as well as the entire underground map. Furthermore, important figures and groups (including armies, Forgotten Beasts, Megabeasts, and Titans) were seen moving around as specifically colored points on the display (quite sure armies were yellow, and Forgotten Beasts were red). I zoomed in on a forest bordering a mountainside. Seemed a decent place to start, though several beasts regularly trekked around there, making for lots of potential "Fun".

Then, the game's regular ASCII embark menu is shown. From a survey, I notice said location had, between three intersecting biomes, many kinds of minerals in both the surface and deep underground, as well as some precious, precious flux stone. But, on using that other tool to scan underground, I find there's no sedimentary layer, and most of the metal veins are only within a very wide metamorphic layer. Bleh, that means no iron or steel, or even mineral coal. Best to find somewhere else.

In between this "classwork", the teacher hands the other students and I two chocolate chip cookies each. I immediately eat one and half of these. One happened to be white chocolate. Yummy!

Suddenly, an unknown emergency interrupts our "studies". The panicked teacher hurries us all into a nearby closet for safety. I then "remembered" having some (actually magical) Magic - The Gathering cards, of which I drew a good hand. One Sorcery looked as if it could immediately take care of the problem, but only if I'd sacrifice a permanent of mine. All I could think to remove were the cookies, but I doubted the spell would work with only a half-eaten portion. Oh, well. I sat there patiently to wait out the storm.

Not sure what else happened until the dream ended.

O. from a different forum I visit is posting about the ending to a movie. He includes a brief line that's spoilered out, which I don't read, and below it comments, "Furry muscle!" That's his whole post. Immediately following his post are several more, all quoting him, probably poking fun at him although I don't see their content. They might even have been quotes and nothing else.

I'm in a car driving in the rain, taking an extremely circuitous and hilly drive through back roads, until eventually I arrive at a secluded house with a large sloped roof. It's some kind of day care, although it's strange that it's out here in the middle of seemingly nowhere. With me are two young girls dressed in frilly clothes; they are sisters. I think at some point I am in the building, which is filled with people.

I'm taking a dance class(?) with a guy named Calvin. He's extremely tall, with dark skin, a light beard, and thick-rimmed glasses. He looks like he's in his early 20s, and he's pretty cute—I catch myself sizing him up. The class is being held in some kind of warehouse, or maybe the aisles of a Home Depot. Later, after it's ended, Calvin and I run outside to sit with several other people at a large, circular picnic table. He grabs what looks like the last open seat, and for a second I think there won't be any room for me, but I continue to examine the seats and realize there actually is one open, so I sit down. It's sunny and warm, and the table is shaded by a large tree. We turn and see some people playing with a football, although it's a weird-looking football: it's translucent and has colored lights or sequins on it. We start to guess how many times the football will bounce each time it's spiked on the ground.

I'd given my Dad my Christmas money to save for me, but when I asked for it he said he'd spent it, which left me no money for Christmas and everyone was going away in an RV, which is strange 'cos I'm British..! We don't really have them here..! I tried to come in through the door and he shut it on my fingers, painfully too and so I started arguing with him..! At this point, my cousin came down the stairs and said I'd have to fight him, at first I was a little afraid, but when I punched him, I knocked him clean out..! My other cousin then came down to see what was going on and said I'd have to fight him now too..! I was more weary this time as he seemed huge to me, but I hit him and ran..! I noticed I had no shoes on and was looking for something to put on when I noticed a pile of shoes, among them were a pair of inline skates..! I grabbed and put them on, then set off down the road, I was very skilled as I flew at great speed..!

I remember my Mother having a house changed up in the back garden, also when I escaped on the skates I came to a fair ground, but it was closed, it's a familiar fair ground dream wise, and the rides are totally impossible and very extreme, I have actually ridden the coaster and it is not to be sniffed at..!

Cheers, Nicho..!

Spellbee's Summer Lucid Competition 2016 - Entry 7

All these dreams occurred well into the morning. By this point, the non-LD's are scraps.

WBTB at 5:30 AM. Got distracted by trivia during it. This as meant to be 30-minutes, but discomfort in bed turned this into a two hour ordeal.


Scrap Group 1
In a party at an unknown home. Wyatt's playing a trading card game with some kid. This may have lead to the next dream

Dream 1 - Youthful Awareness

The visuals were blurred. I was in a larger version of my home's living room. There was a fancy party going on, what with all the guests donned in formal clothing. I quickly notice I'm only half my height, as if I were much younger. Thus, I gain awareness.

Soon, I overhear some familiar voices nearby. One sounded like my "cousin", Rosalinda, while the other was clearly Vera. Rosalinda leans to look down on me when I walk close to her. I try looking up at her face, but the environment starts destabalizing. A few slow breaths fixes this, and clarifies the visuals entirely. Now, I see she appears different, being too old and homely looking. I turn to Vera, who's noticeably younger. Both speak about me, but I only hear jibberish. I try responding, but lacked a voice.

Next, I wander around to look for my dream guide, E, but it seems there was no one that fit her description. The environment begins fading, and the dream ends a half minute later.

Scrap Group 2
Doing some kind of Metal Gear Solid-esque sneaking mission inside a military base. Somehow, this relates to the next dream.


Dream 2 - Monkey Business

The visuals were blurred. I was walking down a long, crowded stairs in an unknown facility, the walls of white cement.

At some intervals, I'd stop halfway to the next floor to jump all the way down to the landers. Someone gets annoyed at my delay, and I overheard him whisper he'll probably stomp on me if I stalled him further. No matter. I continued doing this until I reach to bottom. Said person, now frustrated, threatened he was pouncing in after me, but I evaded this in time.

I walked through a back door, only to immediately end up stepping out of the main entrance of a brown government building. Somehow, I remembered the previous LD, which sparks awareness.

As I descend some short, wide steps, I find two monkeys lingering at the bottom. One looks like a skinny baby chimp with a tail, while the other's a fairly large grey haired alpha baboon. Both bumble towards me, and gesture to hold my hand, to which I comply.

After a few paces, we immediately wander into a forest. The baby signals to get picked up. The baboon is visibly jealous as I did this. Anyway, the "chimp" kicks its legs and flails its in excitement as I lift it. In fact, it unintentionally scratched me pretty badly with its feet, and its pinky finger somehow gets lodged between my left eyelids. I try to gently remove it, only to have it clawed in deeper.

I immediately wake up momentarily feeling that pinky in my eye before it fades away.
