lucid

Fragment:
I'm hosting a party with my girlfriend's family. There is water saturating the carpet and I'm concerned that something is wrong.

Odd Pressure:
I hear my alarm go off and I reset it to snooze for 20 more minutes.
I wake up again and I notice that there is something wet on the floor. I go back to sleep again.
My alarm goes off again and this time I get up.
I go through my normal routine, and start brushing my teeth.
I feel an odd pressure on my left side. I realize that it is actually my girlfriend's body up against me on the bed.
I realize that I'm dreaming, and I don't feel the pressure anymore.
I quickly grab some toothpaste and swallow it, realizing that I could get competition points for that.
The taste is close to how it normally should be, but somehow drier. Blueberry-ish flavor.
The dream fades quickly, but I'm satisfied that I managed to do something before then.

Tot Gym:
I'm at the gym with some people from my 'Tots' friend group. H is there and also M.
The gym resembles the Crunch Fitness I visited some weeks ago.
There is a high-tech looking machine that requires a top-level membership to operate.
I'm worried that my friends are going to be lifting heavier than me.

This time I was crawling through cramped mechanical rooms with pipes and cobwebs, so I transformed the area to be similar but in the pr. The space turned into a tight cave and the pipes turned into roots. Once I got above ground, I was in a massive hollow tree with strands and vines hanging down. As I walked within the tree a spider with a body the size of a car jumped onto me and bit down through my armor. It began spinning webs and I could feel the armor imploding down into me. My book fell out and it opened to the page with the fire spell, so I molded the fire that came out to attack the spider and surround it in flames.

The flames spread to its webs which used to be hidden in the darkness. As one entire orb web was lit, it exploded and released acid that melted huge chunks of the tree and my armor. I gave myself invulnerability to survive the wave of acid and tore through one of the arms of my armor to crush one of the spider’s arms. Jumping back it spoke in scratchy noises but I used mind reading to understand and speak with it. It believed I was one of the Alliance due to my armor but it understood who I was from seeing my skeletal arm rip out.

The poison from its jaws missed my body in the armor but the acid from the web was extremely destructive so I asked it about its webs. It explained that there was nothing stored in the webs, but they were made in the shape of magic circles. It taught me the circles it knew including one it used to crush my armor. I found out the spiders in the area did not identify themselves as part of the Horde but they completely aligned with it against the Alliance. As we spoke I ended up meeting insect-like monsters who gave all kinds of information on the land, war, fighting styles, magic, and weapons. As we were talking, a party from the Alliance came walking through.

Seeing that we had to fight, the first spider I met then carved a glyph onto my arm so I could produce its silk which was useful for instantly creating spells. I wanted to fight alone to test my new knowledge and they agreed to it. As I jumped down I spun magic circles on myself to lighten my fall and silk to patch up the holes in my armor. I tried talking but the party instantly aimed all their weapons at me and the fight began.

They all came at me at once and I fought back with the ice sword in one hand and the broken sword swinging on a thread in the other. One in the back got slashed by the broken sword as the closest enemy got stabbed and instantly frozen. I was then able to use spells by having them written on myself and my armor instead of opening the grimoire to a specific page. I used that magic to teleport around the party attacking each one before they could react. I combined that with extreme speed to completely disorientate them. When only one was left, they used a spell to throw my weapons out of my hands and a magical circle appeared in the air in front of them. I recognised it as the acid spell and my hand through the circle and into their chest, both disrupting the spell and ending the fight.

After the fight I looked through all that they had including their spells, better armor, maps, and extra weapons. I was able to understand the enchantments on the broken swords thanks to the knowledge the spiders and monsters gave, so I left it there. All that I could not carry such as extra armor and weapons was analyzed for their enchantments but left behind. Using their map, I decided to move on towards more allies of the Horde.

1. Construction
I become aware as a scene of an outdoor area with large orange shelves on either side of me forms. The central, concrete walkway is quite wide and about one hundred meters long with people bustling in the center. I need to engage. I pick up momentum, running into the scene and the dream soon feels more stable. I notice that the shelves are made of metal bars, similar to what you'd see in a construction store. Hmm...dream control time. I go to fly up, but the dream resists. Strange... I go once again and drift up to an upper shelf to the right. I then float across the upper shelves a couple more times before noticing a figure in the central walkway. I should interact. I float down to him.
"Hey! What's going on"
He looks at me and give a big smile and a nod. I just decide to move on. I look down at my hand, breathing and grounding.
I float farther down to the right and notice that there's some type of outdoor shop, which open up even farther down to the right. I notice many stuffed items around, as though a portion is for kids. I notice safari-type stuffed animals on a small round table in the center. I extend my arm to turn one of the animals to life. It doesn't respond. I float forward and begin to wake up.


2. Enfeeble
I'm aware as a scene forms in a dim room. I'm sitting at some type of conference table and some type of important, yet ominous business man is sitting to my right. I need to engage. I feel as though I can't begin engaging yet. I continue to listen to the man talk and feel like I need to distract him. I turn to my left, look at a worker and set the intent to make him weak and collapse. The man hunches over, and falls to the floor. The boss seems to be concerned and focuses on the worker. I begin to wake up.

3. Sink
I'm aware in Meadow main house, toward the top of the stairs. I begin walking down, ready to begin some control. I begin flying toward the upper window, yet the dream gently pulls me down. I decide to just phase through the thick glass of the front door and walk out into the dark night. It's a bit dark here...I could just teleport, but I don't feel like going to void right now... I simply turn and phase back in, where there's more light. Once inside, I go for full transformation into a phoenix as I make my way through the central hallway, yet it doesn't click accurately. I decide to go for some basic summoning and eating before moving on. I'll get some ice cream - I've been having a lot of chocolate in dreams lately. I open the freezer and bright light comes out. I reflect on the quality of my awareness, gazing into the bottom of the freezer. This isn't too different from waking life...it feels so stable... I don't want to engage any other DCs, so I decide to do it quietly. I notice a large tub of strawberry ice cream on the bottom, so I pull it out and place it on the counter. As I look more closely, the container seems to morph: it's now a plastic container and as I scrutinize the contents it seems as though the package inside becomes smaller and simply white. I'll just get something else. I look back in the freezer and see a round cake to the right and half of a long, narrow cake to the left. It looks like it's chocolate and custard, so I gab that. I take a big chunk into my hand as I walk across the room, considering what control to do next. I could do mass TK, but I should do something else...turn some music on?I take a bite of the cake, yet a very strong taste of garlicy, buttery salmon explodes in my mouth. Whoa!! It's unexpected and I feel like I need to get the taste out immediately. I spit it out into the sink, but it persists. I begin rinsing my mouth out. I stop for a moment and look at my hand, stabilizing. I reflect once again on how stable and focused my awareness feels. I turn away from the sink to continue. I wake up.

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.

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.

- i became lucid somewhere outside, there was a crowd of people kinda angry at me or something, first i tried to jump trough a wall into a store but it didnt work, i thought that i just dont believe enough and did it again, now i was inside (+10)(+5) and did it again to be outside, the people have surrounded me and i was kinda fighting them off (+2) mostly forgeting about my lucidity

+10 phase trough a big solid object
+5 three step task part one

8.7 - clubbing with grandma
- me, my grandma and my sister all climbed the facade of this building to get into a rooftop club for free, i have a memory (it was a memory in the dream) of watching someone else climb up and say they'll never find out since it is dark outside, i started talking to a dude on the terrace because he seemed familiar, then i saw my friends and a random dude started offering me molly, i declined but he convinced me eventually, we went to a table in the corner and i watched him do a line and he said its my turn, i realised i cant do this since my grandma could see me so i left him and started looking for my friends, i couldnt find anyone and went to this birthday party deeper in the club, i was still on edge because i didnt have a ticket and i didnt know anyone, the girls celebrating did a little parade and i found my friends eventually, they were still talking to someone and i tried to convince them to leave, it took a long time but we eventualy started leaving (it was bright outside now), i said i need to get back to the terrace because i may have forgoten something (i planned to leave there because i didnt want to go trough the front), my friend had keys from pretty much every door and we took a big detour trough many rooms including a room looking like an ikea with mirrors which lead outside, i said i dont need to go to the terrace since i have everything, i noticed i have my headphones twice so i did an rc (+1) and became lucid, remembered i need to fly so i asked for wings (+5) and flew (+5) up to this rock wall which had shoes on it, i then read a billboard advertiding bananas, my flight was not the best, but i kept trying to fly to space because it is my 3step task, then it started to rain and became windy, there was a mom with a son and they were struggling to hold onto this parachute, so i flew there and took it from them (+2) hoping it would help my flight, it didnt and i woke up soon after

edit: i just remembered more infor from the second dream.
- once i was outside and lucid, i kept thinking about where i am sleeping irl, the nightclub part was really long so i assumed that was real and i was considering that i just fell asleep inside, this made me worry for my wallet and phone so i eventually gave up and woke myself up on purpose

As the dream began, I was a fighter pilot over the ocean already in battle. I knew I’d have less sleep this night so I went straight into the challenge instead of letting this regular dream play out first. My plane exploded away and I teleported away. It was unclear if the plane was destroyed from the teleportation or from being hit in battle. Rather than instantly appearing, my body traveled through dimensions at extreme speeds causing my entire body to light on fire from the friction. Landing in what would become the challenge’s PR, the flames turned black and blue and covered a crowd of bodies surrounding me.

I was in a large room of a stone fortress, and even though messy flesh was covering the floor I could tell there were summoning magic circles etched into the entire floor. Some of the summoned people were running out a wide opening on one of the sides of the room, and I ran along with them. There were constantly more people appearing from the mass of magic circles even as I ran out. Once outside the flames went out and only my bones were left. I saw others appeared either as skeletons or zombie-like based on how much of their bodies they had left.

Outside the sky was red and there was a massive army of undead on my side and extremely armored humans on the other side. The humans were clearing out our army easily but the constant generation of undead balanced it out. I charged straight for the nearest people, which was a group of two. Most of the undead were slow and getting killed to simple swings, so my first hit was easily able to get through with its speed. They were still alive thanks to their armor, so I had to get in an unfair fight between my punches and their swordplay. Whenever their sword came close I could feel its magical energy, likely an enchantment that made each hit against the undead army a one hit kill.

I began controlling the other undead around me to surround the enemy with a now very skilled army. Increasing the power of each undead’s hits, the armor of the humans started to bend and snap at its weak points. Slowly gaining control over more of the army, I had some go back to analyze the spell that summoned us in. Others climbed for higher ground to get a better idea of the area and some humans were starting to fall back. Not wanting their armor to get too damaged, I got some of the army to grapple the enemy so their armor could be taken off. Pulling the armor from my first opponent, I started putting it on myself as they were still held down.

Some zombies came up with a scroll that had a partial copy of the summoning circles. Placing it on the person, they were burnt and turned into one of the undead. The spell only kept the parts of the original circle that turned people into undead and controlled the undead to be part of the army. With the spell now fully understood, the rest of the army began copying the spell using empty scrolls and torn pages from grimoires taken from defeated opponents.

The part of the army that was scouting the land found a stable and shelter that the alliance used to head into the battle. Having collected a grimoire for myself, I used the part of the spell that teleported us into this world to teleport to the stable. Taking a horse from the battlefield, I head into the stable. There were humans and elves there, but they could not identify me due to the armor completely covering my body. They greeted me, and I went into the shelter by the stable. There was a space to eat and rooms to sleep in the back, with a few other people in the eating area.

I first sat there to listen in on information but one of the people came up to talk with me as we ate. The conversation went well and I was able to get the exact information I wanted much quicker through my own conversation. The average soldier in the alliance saw the undead as mindless and that was reasonable from their perspective but I knew they were still in a way living people from other dimensions. They saw all monsters of the horde that way, either a mindless creation or with the mind of an animal. The war has been going on for thousands of years but it has picked up in the last couple years with humans trying to expand their kingdoms into the horde’s land.

As we talked he was then told to come outside, and as he went out I realized everyone else had left. First going to the back to see if there were people there, I then went to the front where I saw the outside was completely covered in snow and ice. All the people were far away except for the one casting the freezing spell, and I saw all the horses still at the stable were frozen to death. Instead of stepping outside I waited for the person to approach me. They identified me as an intelligent undead. With my identity known, I pulled my helmet off not worrying for a disguise anymore. Using a fire spell from my grimoire, I heated up my sword to cut easily through the door which was frozen shut.

They pulled out a sword with an ice enchantment and we fought in the snow. My sword lost heat quickly each time our blades hit, and the temperature difference made it snap. Despite seeming like a disadvantage, the sword snapping also made the tip of it unexpectedly fly into my opponent’s helmet. The tip was still heated, so it went straight through the front and welded itself in place. I took the opportunity to take their sword and freeze them in place. I then put their sword into my sheathe and kept the broken sword to study its enchantment later. I rejoined with the undead and the dream ended.

Night 1 - Summer Competition 2024

1. Shapeshifter (LD)
I'm in the basement of Meadow main house and begin thinking of MILD. It's like...sending the intention into the dream...
This...place is dreamlike... Nose pinch. I'm lucid. I need to get to my three step! My first one was... full transformation.
I immediately go to shapeshift into mouse form. I shrink down rapidly and feel all four feet on the floor. I want to feel the sensation again, so I revert to humanoid form, then shrink back down into mouse form. Okay... now I need to fully phase. I turn toward a nearby wall and completely walk in. I find myself in the void. I go to walk back out, yet remain in the void. I may as well just teleport. I'll go to Haven...no... I'll go to Teldrassil. I begin begin visualizing a scene of Teldrasil. I begin spinning slowly in the void, waiting for the scene to appear. I wake up.

Record. Back to sleep.

2. Zazen (LD)
I'm in the basement of Meadow main house. It's quite dim and I'm facing a wall unit. My hand comes out in front of me.
"I'm lucid here". I'm lucid.
Hmm I should get to some dream control... I need to do my last three step...I don't want to teleport though... I go to fly a bit but feel gravity yank me back down. I should head to a slightly different area. I head to the stairs and walk up a few before feeling a bit of a sense of urgency. I run up the remainder, then make a right, entering into the kitchen. I should basic summon some chocolate and get something to eat. I fly toward the center island before going to a cabinet to the right, yet don't find a bar immediately. I go to a cabinet to the left that I've been finding them in more consistently lately. I reach up and find a single Lindt bar. I grab it quickly. I should start eating quick to make sure I get the points. I tear open the package in the top corner and eat a chunk. It tastes really good! Hmm... should I go for war glaives now?... maybe I'll just do some zazen as my old personal goal. I head toward the sliding glass door and sit down in zazen position. I feel the chocolate bar on my lap and hear some tumble to the right. I'll just leave it for now. I remember sitting just like this in a lucid a while back...that was a good dream. I begin to breath, focusing intently on my breath. I suddenly hear loud crackling to my right. I consider ignoring it at first, yet it becomes jarring. I snap to go invisible. It'll only count if I'm able to confirm with DC presence...I stand up and look toward the far wall. I see a large pot of water on the stove with fire below. I walk over, considering element manipulation to put out out the fire. I wave my hand once, yet nothing happens. I try again with no result. I raise my right arm for the ring of elements in order to switch to water. I wake up.

Record. Back to sleep.

3. Water and Stone (LD)
I'm underwater. I suddenly become lucid. What should I do for the competition? Maybe I'll manipulate the water. I stick my fingers up and see a jet of water head toward the surface and break into a small geyser above it. I finally get out of the water and walk the concrete perimeter of the large pool. I'm in a beautiful outdoor area during the daytime with what appears to be Roman architecture in the nearby landscape. Several wide, single story concrete pillars surround the pool with haphazard spacing. I go for flight, yet am yanked down initially. I face a large, Roman style structure in the far distance and fly in that direction with ease. I pick up a bit of speed before circling back around at the far end. I zoom back in, manipulating the visual field, and land on the on of the exposed tiers of the structure. I'll go for some super strength. I turn toward a nearby pillar on a slightly higher tier, grip around it, and tear it from the stone floor with ease. I chuck it quite far and turn toward another massive structure to my right. I extend my arm to go for mass TK on on one of the stone pillars. I wake up before it moves.

Run through dream in mind. Set intent to remember. Back to sleep.

4. Quelling the Storm (LD)
I'm with Han on the edge of a room. As I face her, my hand comes out in front of me. I'm lucid. I turn toward her and give her a big hug. The DC appears to shift to someone else, so I mentally will it to shift back to Han. There seems to be a back and forth flickering of identity, yet I quickly decide to just head off. I look around and see many small tools hanging up on the nearby walls. We appear to be in a fairly small ranch with several rooms attached nearby. I should get to some dream control...I'll head outside. I walk through the doorway and enter into a beautiful outdoor scene in the daytime. The fields extend quite far in the distance with very tall, lush streets scattered around the landscape, especially nearby. I'll do some time dilation. I sit in meditation posture, take a breath, and begin expanding and contracting the time sphere. I see the mostly translucent sphere bend the periphery of my visual field as it expands and contracts back to my center. I see the sphere expand and contract, then set my intent to freeze the scene in ice. I soon see snow flakes appear in front of my field of vision, small shards of ice scattered about as well. I stand up, ready to engage the scene. I look up and see a massive, ominous, circular storm brewing in the far distant sky. I wonder if this is a representation of the time dilation taking over the dream... It's swirling toward the center in a hurricane type pattern, black and purple colors hanging menacingly in the sky. I raise my hands in order to banish the storm I wave my hands in front of the storm, focusing my intent. I repeat the process and the massive storm begins to shrink toward the center before disappearing entirely. I wake up.

1. Sleeping Body (LD)
I’m in a dim room, laying down - something seems off. Nose pinch. Breathe.
I’m lucid. I stand up and walk to the edge of the room and phase through the wall. I enter another dim room and head to the center. I raise my right hand in front of me, breathing slowly for three breaths, grounding. I then think of Sageous and stabilization.
“My body is in bed, sleeping. This is a dream”. I continue to repeat “this is a dream” as I look around the room, thinking of others’ advice for extending lucids. I should practice some control for the comp. I transform into a large crow and begin to fly. The feel isn’t exactly how I want, so I lower down and shapeshift into mouse form. It’s quite good. I then enlarge to cat form before returning to humanoid form. I approach the near wall and phase through. I head toward a structure in the center and sit down, breathing slowly. I see a large light, which appears essentially like a street light, on the periphery, it’s view mostly obstructed by the seating area in front of me. I go for mass TK and lift the light up to the ceiling, then gradually lower it. I head farther into the room, deciding to explore more. I head down to a bar in the corner and begin to poor myself a drink. I wonder what the effects would be if I drank a little bit. I wake up.


2. Door of Lucidity (LD)
I approach a door and my hand comes out in front of me.
“I’m lucid here”. I’m lucid. I stop, raise my hand, and take three slow deep breaths. I notice how dim the area is and shout for lights. I head toward blinds on the edge of the room, open them a bit and notice daylight beginning to pour through, the sun now showing itself above the horizon. I begin thinking about what to do. I explore a bit, taking in the surroundings. I notice a couch wrapping around the periphery of the rectangular room which juts out the side of the building that I’m in. It appears to be a fairly large house, with several outdoor areas. I notice a bedroom situated to the right of the main outdoor area. I head farther to the center and notice a large pool to th left and another lounge area beyond. lLightly behind the pool area sits a large dining table. I approach the lounge area and notice quite elaborate tan lounge chairs. I return to the central pool area and notice a large river running just behind the property. I figure it would be fun to swim in it and head back to the original room to proceed in that direction. I consider using this area as a location I can return to - a home base of sorts. I walk back to the original room. I should do some basic summoning and drinking/eating. I approach a bar in the corner of the room and find a bottle of whiskey. I poor myself a glass and take a shot. I have a very strong flavor and sensation in my dream mouth. I begin looking for some chocolate, yet wake up.
I begin to walk farther and wake up.


3. Floating In Meadow Main House (LD)
I head to the edge of the upper walkway, phasing through the bars. I’m lucid. I begin floating down to the lower level slowly. I finally reach the lower level and begin to head through the central hallway. It’s night time. I enter the kitchen and begin to think about what to do. I may as well basic summon some chocolate then begin exploring a bit. I head to a corner cabinet, look inside and quickly find a stack of chocolate bars. I grab a few bars of two varieties in total. One of the packages is black while another is a shade of purple. I open one, take a bite, and notice that it has a great chocolatey flavor. I head toward the back sliding glass door. I look outside, yet decide not to head outside as it’s quite dark; I don’t want to risk destabilization. I walk back into the house, heading toward the center island in the kitchen. I see my laptop and phone and decide to use some electronics. Grab the laptop and notice that a page is loaded. I then pick up the phone, hit a button and notice that a server which appears like Discord is loaded. I see a member name Redyx and figure it’s Redd. I begin to wake up.

4. One Arm Handstand Pushups (LD)
I continue to take shots on the basketball court, and progress to three pointers. I head to the side, walking up to a DC.
“This is a dream”. I’m lucid.
I raise my left hand to inspect it and notice that my wedding ring isn’t there.
“See, the ring isn’t there, but the scars are pretty accurate”.
I walk ahead a bit. I decide to do some one arm handstands. I invert then balance on one hand, focusing on the sensation of balance intently. I then begin to do several pushups. I feel happy and confident about it and finally get up to head to a far corner of the gym. The dream begins to dim considerably and I don’t want to risk it destabilizing. I head to the window and open the blinds a bit more. I finally walk onto the balcony and notice that it’s quite a bit brighter outside. I head farther and notice the tan stucco walls and floor. I head forward and see that there are several buildings of similar construct in the complex. Each has tan stucco walls and converge upon a central area containing a small body of water, channels running between buildings. I notice a large drop by the edge of the wall as I make my way over the edge of the back of the building. I head toward the central area of water and notice a small floating platform that appears to be a lounge area; there are several purple pillows stacked. I go to do TK on them, but am not certain if the pillows move at all. I decide to search for chocolate bars to practice some basic summoning. I open a small drawer and quickly find a ziploc bag with some Ghiradelli bars inside. I grab the bars and turn. I notice the building to the back right and have the memory of a previous lucid. I wonder if that’s the same building as in the lucid and wonder if I can come back to this place as a PR. I begin to think of the name of the area. I think of Ku… as the name, but don’t get an exact name. I float over the central area between buildings, then turn to the left noticing a lower, open area of a building with a lounge area beyond several pillars. I float into the lower portion and notice quite a few DCs hanging out in the corner on a curved stone seat. I sit for a moment, then rise up, taking a bite of the chocolate bar. I wake up.

I walk toward the glass wall and door in the mall area and think about dreaming. Suddenly, I become lucid. I feel a rush of excitement as I rush into the room beyond. It seems to be some type of retail shop with sparse contents. In the center, there are a couple of small circular tables next to eachother.They have a few items on them including a large black hat. It reminds be of a black mage, so I grab it and put it on. I enter into a main atrium area of what appears to be a mall to my right. I think of control and decide to cast fireball. I imagine myself as a black mage and begin casting fireball. I see my shadow cast large against a far wall, including robes, hat, and my hands in fireball casting position, an orb growing in the center. I go to cast at an upper balcony, yet don’t see anything. I turn to my right to explore more. I see a large store to my far right and it appears to be a gaming store. I enter and think of mass telekinesis. I see a few purple stuffed items on top of cabinets set high into the wall on the left. I turn toward the back center of the shop and see a massive square shelf area in the center. I raise my right arm for TK and see the entire perimeter of the unit lift up about five feet or so. I finally set it back down and begin exploring more. I think about scoring points and see some Pepsi in the back. I drink a bit, yet it doesn’t have much taste so I set it down. I figure I’ll basic summon a chocolate bar. I turn to my right expecting to find it quickly, yet as I approach, I only see stacks of games sitting vertically on the far counter. I continue to look, expecting a bar, yet don’t quite see one. I make my way down the long cabinet, curving to the left, yet just see more stacks of games. I head out of the store and ponder what else I could work on. I figure I should fly a bit, so I lift up easily and fly to an upper balcony. I then decide to practice hookshot and shoot one into the wall, pulling myself rapidly toward the upper walkway. I hookshot nearby once again, heading down the hallway a bit farther. I notice the hallway up ahead is quite dim and figure I shouldn’t risk destabilization. I turn back around and think of points for stabilization. I drop down and begin rubbing the floor of the walkway. The dream begins to fade.

i was walking outside (nighttime) with a group of friends, David, Misha and more, we found this cart with boxes and David gave me a box, then the pople who owened them came and i was expecting a beef so i took Misha and ran into this dark alleyway and wanted to hide, i was quite far down when i finally realised it is a dream so i did a check (+1) and wanted to get back to my friends, i went trough thease gardens and it was really dark, i lost my vision entirely and then 'took off' my sleep mask to be sitting with my group again, dude started dissing me for sleeping while he was talking, but they were pretty chill, we left and walked trough this underpass to a metro station, it was day on the other side and i figured ill start on my point tasks, i did a quick check again and then spun for stabilisation, jumped trough this glass front of a store and then a big pillar because i wasnt sure if the glass was thick enough (+10), then i asked for wings and felt them pop out on my back (+5), i was standing in a building with a circle hole in the roof and saw clouds change color really fast, i took off and flew trough the hole, found the moon in the sky and went for it (+10) i passed a terraria sky island structure out of minecraft blocks and flew trough a cluster of glowstone (maybe that was the moon), didnt see the moon after that, just a purple vortex/nebula thing i flew into, my vision darkened and i eventually found myself sitting at an outside table of a chineese restaurant with my family, there was a calculator in my noodles, next time i looked at it it was a phone and i tried to unlock it (+5), took the plate to the kitchen (+2), and they wanted to know our least expensive item to make it free, i went back and my grandpa was kinda agitated and i just dropped a glass on the pavement (not in anger) in our conversation and noone reacted, i figured i dont need to listen to this and left, i cast some lightnings (+10) to hit poles (not Polish people) around me and one of my attempts spawned a barrage of flaming arrows (+?) over my head almost looking like fireworks, i saw 'unloaded' buildings without windows and most other features and then wanted to play truth or dare with someone so i began searching for people my age, i saw a dog as i was running trough this crowd and made him big and beasty (+5), he began to wreck havoc so i phased into a shoping mall trough a wall, then i did it again to get to a neighboring room, it was an office with a woman who looked unfaithfull, proppably with her boss, she told me to leave and i said i know what she did so she better think about what she does and i woke up pretty soon after that

(im writing this late in the day so i forgot most of it)

I was lucid in a home depo like store and they had a lot of fruit, i figured i want to eat something i never did before and i found blue bell peppers. It tasted less sweet and more dense (taste, not texture), i also recall politely asking for wings and taking off, but i believe that was outside.


(testing how this works so i can post the summer challange dream entries)

There was a shoot out happening in the parking lot and as I was ducking for cover. I see a woman with a shotgun and was not facing my direction. So I tackle her and through trying to get the shotgun out of her hands I became lucid. I got up and started seeing the dream setting begin to change. I told myself I should begin to explore. As I did so I ran into one of my former co-workers from the past and he explained to me about how he is trying to get promoted.

I told him I think out of all of them he could do it and we had a long conversation about how. At some point during this conversation, I had lost lucidity.

It starts off with me being outside the drugstore and I'm on the phone.. I'm not sure whom I'm talking too but I know i'm calling for help. Either if its 911 they don't believe me, or I'm calling someone to have them call 911 and they don't believe me. I think someone else is beside me after I'm done my call I try to go back inside the drugstore and an employee there said the store's closed.. I say something to the effect of "we're are hostages" meaning me and whomever I'm with and we're back in the store. We go back to big guys aka the kidnappers but they have the attitude or at least they'll have later on the attitude of Elmer Fudd.

Whenever they get a moment's distraction -I'm off like a shot trying to escape the drug store or whatever store I'm in and its like something from Looney Tunes I'm like Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck but I do go back to them eventually for some reason I don't know. And about 10-15 times of this little "game" of me running away and them trying to track me down again. I'm think the store might have c hanged from the drug store to a clothing store- and one of the kidnappers is asking "Why do we have to bring Ava in (my dream-self name) in? Maybe we should forget about them, we still have the other one". The other one says something along the lines of "the boss wants us to bring Ava in". So it seems like the unknown boss and my Dreamself Ava, had some history prior to the dream. And I had to wake up at that point.

Over two weeks ago I had this dream. It started out in an Arthur kind of unviserse. I don't remember much about what happen. But at some point someone meets aliens. And then the alien kind of I think explodes and then it turns into a real-life setting and the alien leaves a bloody craddle with a lot of blood in it and a couple of layers of I want to say skin. And once I (?) uncover it I found a baby alien in a bath of blood and its tinny but then I woke up and had to go to the bathroom.
