lucid

Before WBTB

I set my alarm for 6 hours from now, make a plan to stay up for about 30 minutes when it goes off, and then go to bed.

WBTB

No recall. I spend some time incubating a dream where I am in the lamp-post area from Chronicles of Narnia where Lucy meets Mr. Tumnus. The goal being to transition directly from waking into this dream. I've grabbed onto lamp-posts and other objects before to "pull myself into" dreams, so it seems like a good strategy. I write up a dream where I summon Daniel Love, ask him for advice on teleporting, and then go through a portal to arrive at Silverlight. This takes me about 30 minutes and then I return to bed. I have some difficulty going back to sleep, but eventually I get there. No WILD sensations though.

After WBTB

Chasing Daniel:
I’m in my bedroom, and I remember that I was just going to sleep from a WBTB and perform a nose RC [1]. Aha! This is a dream.
I get up and start looking around. I can feel the dream is unstable so I start to rub the floor with my hands, and (as is tradition) lick the wall. It still tastes like wall.
I recall that my first task is to summon, so I go to the bathroom door in front of me and imagine Daniel Love behind it.
I pull the door open and check the whole room, including the area behind the opened door. He isn’t there. Crap. Maybe I was too rushed?
I go to the kitchen and my Mom and Dad are there, talking about something. I pay them little attention.
I do notice that the kitchen table is covered in pizza boxes, empty two-liters, and crumpled up paper. I reflect about how my brain is this good about characterizing my past.
I make it to the fridge, thinking I want something to eat, and sure enough there is an apple in a bottom drawer in the fridge [2].


Successful summon! First task complete!

As I try to grab it, I feel the dream destabilizing.
Void.
I try to focus and go back into the dream.
I hear my Mom’s voice from outside my room.
Wait. My Mom isn’t alive. It can’t be her.
I perform a nose RC. This is a false awakening [3]. I get out of bed again and try to stabilize more vigorously this time, but the dream fades.
…
I’m outside a small shop, and I remember that I had just been stabilizing. Nose RC: Lucid again. I recall that I want to summon Daniel.
I see that there are two people in the shop: a customer facing away and a person tending the register.
The customer is the one facing away, so I imagine that when I see his face, it’ll be Daniel.
I approach him and I notice the back of his head looks like what I expect Daniel's would look like. Short black hair.
But when I extend my hand out to meet him, he says “not him” [4]. This is a dark skinned man with a mustache. Nope.
He shakes my hand anyway though. I try to turn-around-and-turn-back to get him to transform into Daniel, but no luck. The dream starts to fade again.

My dream before involved using magic and powers, so it transitioned pretty smoothly between that and training in the swamp. While there were a couple around me, Gejoh from last time was the one directly training me this time. He showed that it was possible to control and shoot streams of water without needing fish to do it. I needed to bring it up from a body of water, and he explained there was still use in getting fish to jump out to shoot from different angles. Looking back this isn’t really true since the streams could curve in the air, but having extra streams of attack isn’t too bad.

Gejoh was pitch black with a glowing blue mouth and eyes similar to his profile picture, and was able to get water blasts to shoot out of those parts of his face. I and Passenger were training with different people, and after enough training we faced another large alligator together again. We did not need the both of us to block attacks from the alligator anymore, but it was still difficult to land a hit that seemed to truly hurt the alligator. Passenger told me the stomach was its weakest area but I did not find that helpful since it was flat on the ground.

Passenger then showed me what he’s learned and stuck his hand in the ground to flip the ground with the alligator on it. I was then able to show him what I’ve learned as well and shot streams at its stomach, successfully cutting into it. With the alligator still stunned by being flipped over, I was able to cut its stomach open and Passenger was able to shoot a pillar of earth into it, killing the alligator. With this one killed on land, we were able to collect from its body afterwards.

We gained a new set of armor and weapons made from its scales and claws, and we had a feast with the whole village around the body as it continued to be carved. Kappa reunited with us and brought up that maybe we should try returning home. He was happy to have his people’s homes saved and did not want to keep us from trying to find our way out. Passenger conflicted since we had been there for so long and was still afraid of whatever threw the logs when we flew over, but I convinced him that it was worth checking out the wreckage again.

We headed back and on the way there he found out how to use his ground control to surf on the ground and I followed in learning how to use water to shoot myself forward. We taught each other how to use each other’s abilities and although we learned a bit we stayed specialized in what each of us learned first. Once at the wrecked plane we decided to turn it on and check its radar again, now ready in case a fight came to us. Passenger stayed inside to continue checking the screens and I was on the outside trying to move the receivers in different directions. He told me if I should stay pointed in any directions and I heard him trying to use the radio.

He was finally able to communicate with someone and told me to hold still. I stood still up on the plane for a while until I heard something loud in the distance. Although we were now confident in our abilities, if it was the same opponent we would still be getting a tree thrown at us. Passenger was able to close up his conversation over the radio and told me to hide in the distance with him. Nothing came, but we were able to learn the directions of other people and of possibly the enemy from the first dream. Since the sound was relatively near, we rushed in that direction silently.

Once we got close enough we headed over more slowly and finally saw a massive figure holding a log. It’s getting difficult describing size with how big the enemies are getting. It would be simple enough to say it was obviously inspired by the Tetranadon from Monster Hunter, but about 4 times the size. There was no question that this was the King Gator, who I mistakenly thought of as King Croc in the dream. His head was way over the trees, and after staying still for a bit he threw the tree in his hand to the side as if it were weightless.

I wanted to leave the fight until the next dream so I could dedicate all of it to the fight, so I convinced Passenger that we should go back for now. It was not hard convincing him since he believed we needed more training before facing King Gator, so we went back to the town and told them the situation. With that description they agreed that he was known as King Gator and the leaders of the village wanted to help with our training to ensure our victory. The dream ended in the middle of the training.

Spring Competition 2024 Night 5 (DILD) 04.01.2024

I am in a lucid dream where I am at some sort of amusement park and there is a bad lady mind controlling the workers. I go and use mind control to free some workers minds and then we spread out to free the other workers. It changes from an amusement park into a convenience store.

After that I laid in bed for like an hour which is why I remember so few details of the lucid.

1. Crow And The Bar (LD)
I’m floating toward the edge of some type of divider between rooms in an office area. This seems like…a dream….I’m dreaming! I’m lucid. I fly over the divider and quickly transform into crow form. There's a thick piece of glass just beyond the divider and I phase through it. I fly around the hallway on the first floor, maneuvering around a couple of males who seem like business men with a higher rank in the area. I'm flapping my wings and enjoying the movement of the dream body. I revert to humanoid form for a moment. Maybe I should interact. I pat one of them on the shoulder.
“How’s it going?”.
I quickly quickly switch back to crow form. I head to a nearby stairwell, flying upward toward the top and explore the area a bit. Crow form is feeling more accurate. I finally curve back around, descending the staircase once again, carving easily in crow form. I reach the bottom and glide toward the end of the hallway. I soon see a large wooden bar that’s quite ornate with many people sitting all around. It’s situated on the edge of a large room and there’s ornate decor on the wall behind, including a large wooden carving on the right of some type of display shelf on the wall above the bar. I go to advanced summon a portal into the wall, yet nothing happens. I then go to mass tk the large wooden statue, yet it doesn’t move. I look around at the visuals and am amazed at how vivid and crisp everything at the bar looks. I’ll get a drink, why not. I turn to the bartender.
“Can I have a drink?”
Bartender: “Sure. Do you want a Southern Comfort or a California Comfort”
“I’ll have..the California one”
The bartender pulls out a small glass with a reddish brown liquid inside. The bartender hands it to me.
Bartender: “This is the apple version”
I thank him. A guy sitting to my left turns to me.
Man at the bar: “Could you get one for me?”
I then turn to the bartender.
“Can I have one for him too?”
The bartender nods and hands one to the guy. The guy next to me is very thankful, and shouts ‘thank you’ loudly with a big smile. He then calls for a a cheers between everyone at the bar. We all raise our glass and clank them at the center of the area.
All: “Cheers!”
I go to drink, yet wake up.

2. Cavern By The Oceanside (LD)
I’m floating toward a rocky ledge. My awareness sharply raises. I’m lucid. I notice that I’m in what appears to be a a massive cavernous area. There’s a massive descent to an area below in the center of the cavern. In the far distance, I see the opening to the cavern toward the very bottom of the area, sunlight spilling through. I see sand beyond the opening and gentle ocean waves periodically moving in an out of the area. I float forward and notice what appears to be a black mesh material. I raise upward and slowly phase through it and descend on the stone area on the opposite side. There's a long, yet short stone ledge just before the massive drop. I decide to sit and ground for a moment. I sit in front of the ledge raise my right arm and take one slow deep breath. That’s enough for now - I’ll start exploring. I begin to float downward into the central area and begin to think of summoning Jerune or Norzz’jyagirri. I reach to my right for the lucid talisman, yet don’t find it. I figure I should explore my pocket, yet don’t feel it in my right pocket. I feel that the dream is fading as the visuals are getting quite dark. I begin to descend rapidly toward the bottom to stabilize. I hold awareness as the dream darkens a bit, yet I soon wake up.

*I didn't wake up at 12 like normal, probably from the poor sleep yesterday, instead I woke up around 4 am and laid there for a while. I'm just trying to relax and imagine things. Soon they kind of take on a life of their own which tell me I'm ready to enter a dream.*

Lucid

*around 5:30am*

Suddenly I'm in a void, I can fly in different directions. I try not to get too excited while flying and yet not too frustrated at the lack of visuals, I try to focus on what's already there. I see a purple blob and begin flying towards it, it transforms into a purple dragon as it flies away from me. I'm beginning to see where I am now, Minecraft again, it looks like I'm underground in spectator mode.



Remembering one of my tasks I hold my hand in front of me to attempt summoning a huge ball. *This is something I've visualized while awake*



It's about the size of a small pebble, "It's too small" I think to myself as I toss it away and continue to fly up to the surface. Everything it's crystal clear now and looks just like Minecraft. I see a huge mountain and decide to fly straight through it, as I'm passing through it, it's like an image of the mountain just before I hit it is stuck in my vision for a second or two before I finally pass through it. I start looking around trying to not over fixate on that. I see two mountains and a village in the far distance. I start flying there looking at the ground and noticing my shadow. I start fading and wake up.

I was in the dining room at home when I got lucid randomly. My memory sucked in this ld too so I didn't really remember anything I planned in real life and just ended up flying around for the most part. The area outside the window didn't look like it should. After focusing on my sight for a bit, which made the dream more stable and vivid, I phased through the window in front of me and started flying around without a goal or destination in mind. I heard someone I know from discord sing in my mind at this point. I remembered him telling me that he has lds sometimes where he talks to people in a voice chat, thinking he is asleep and hears the voice chat from real life. I knew this wasn't real though. After a few seconds of flying and then landing on the ground, I had a really bad youtuber song play in my mind this time. I started flying again and the next thing I remember is being in an area that doesn't exist in real life. It was a playground surrounded by trees, with a carpet in the middle of the sand that had a wooden table on it for some reason. I landed and kicked over the table on purpose while doing so. Shortly after that, I got startled by the sound of my alarm playing and the sound of my phone vibrating. I was surprised not to have woken up yet, but I decided that I'd wake up anyway so I might as well let myself wake up. I just kinda "let go" of the dream and woke up, to find out that no alarm was going off in real life and my next wbtb alarm would've been in like 20 minutes.

Gravity Walk
I continue to walk next to Han through the shopping area. The lights illuminating the sides of the building have a glowing aura. This looks…dreamlike…. I tune into the feel of gravity throughout my body. My hands feel a bit heavy and my body feels a bit…light…This feels kind of normal…something's off…I turn around. I’m lucid. I take in the sites of the outdoor area. The area I’m situated in now doesn’t quite have the same ‘dream glow’ and bright lights illuminating the walls of the shops. As I glance back, I notice the area that I just past, with the shops continuing to glow off-white in the night. Han continues to walk ahead, talking to me about something. She’s moving very quickly and rapidly ascends a large stone staircase that’s on the right, quite a bit far ahead. I fly in the direction after her.
“Han!”
I reach the foot of the staircase, and she’s already disappearing around the turn at the top.
Whatever… it’s just a dream. I’m going to just do stuff for the competition. What should I work on? I already did my three step…
I turn and notice the dream scene behind me getting quite dim. It appears that the previously lavish outdoor shopping area is now barren; the walls are plain and the area feels desolate.
I’ll just teleport to Haven.
I quickly fly into a wall a few meters away from me and phase inside. I begin repeating Haven Haven in mind as I visualize Haven Peaks. After a moment, I wake up.

I began in a different dream, and to transition into the Pr I had the entire place flood with muddy water. When it rushed over me, I was already in and back to fighting crocodiles. Fighting in the water this time, I could sense from where they were coming without even seeing them. I was able to deflect its attacks and flip it around in the water. Launching it out of the water, Passenger then stabbed through it with a new spear. We then got out of the river with it and threw it on the ground with a couple other gators.

At this point it wasn’t even hunting for food anymore, we had plenty for days with only one and fish were easy enough for daily meals. We have also learned how to use snakes and eels similarly to fish in grabbing their attention to attack things for us. Seeing that we were now used to these crocodiles, Kappa took us to another area where he told us large alligators were causing trouble for a village. Me and Passenger were really surprised by this, thinking Kappa was the only person (though not human) in this swamp other than us.

Heading over we were excited about what they might be like, not even concerned with how strong the gators there would be. We jumped through some of the forest and there was a spot where Kappa told us to stop. Although we were strong enough to punch through it, Kappa told us there was a fish big enough to eat us whole in the water near us. We then walked a bit more and stopped when Kappa said we arrived, but there were no visible homes around. He was also confused, and we spread out calling to see if anyone would respond. While spread out, Passenger yelled out for us to come to him so we did.

Back together, We saw a massive alligator. Even though kappa warned us about a fish that could eat us whole, this gator could easily do the same. All of the others we fought were the size of actual crocodiles, big but only able to bite at a limb at a time. On seeing us it swung its tail and knocked down the trees that were in the way. Me and Passenger jumped at it and told Kappa to keep searching for the villagers. I also told him if he found them to ask if this alligator was known as King Gator. We split to both sides so it could not target both of us at once, but it turned to bite Passenger and slam me with its tail. Passenger was able to get out of the way but I took the hit and went flying.

I came back with Passenger fighting on his own, and this time I tried joining on the same side. It kept biting and once it switched to the tail we were able to counter the tail together and stop it in place. We kept attacking by punching in the same places together, and were able to kick it in the jaw one time when it tried biting. Although we were effectively staying in the fight, it felt like we were doing no damage. We tried bringing over snakes to attack it but as expected they could not bite through its scales. I had an idea after that and got Passenger to lead the crocodile away with me.

It charged at us and we needed to run at full speed to stay out of its reach, arriving at the nearby pond. With Passenger right behind me, I jumped over the pond where Kappa said a large fish lived, and used my whip to direct it at the crocodile like we would with smaller fish. What leaped out was a giant catfish, slightly larger than the crocodile. It bit the side of the crocodile as it kept charging at us, and left a huge gap in its side. Seeing what happened, Passenger used his whip as well in the way we would direct fish to shoot water. The area flashed with light and a powerful blast of water shot straight into the exposed side of the crocodile and shot out the other end.

The body of the crocodile sank into the pond, and although we wanted to collect something of a trophy or evidence of defeating the crocodile, there was no way we were going near the pond again. Returning where the fight began, we ran into Kappa who now was with two other kappas. Although we knew he was old, seeing him next to the others really made him look much older. We told them the alligator was defeated, and although they were skeptical at first they quickly believed after we told them about using the catfish against it.

We were happily invited to their village, which only recently was built high in the trees to avoid being spotted by the alligator. They told us how many types of people were in the village and once we arrived we did see frogmen and lizard people. Having a celebratory meal with them, they mentioned a human being in the village and that what we fought was not King Gator. It wasn’t even the only alligator that size, but it was the only one still at the village. Knowing its strength now, Me and Passenger knew we had plenty to grow in strength for future battles.

We spent some time at the village training with different types of people, learning different fighting styles and techniques from them. We also met the human at the village, who turned out to be Gejoh. We fought several creatures in our training and eventually were able to greatly damage trees with our strongest attacks but did not face anything at the level of the large alligator again.

Fragment
I was trying to pee at a urinal when someone walks right up the urinal next to mine and starts peeing, mind you this is a very small restroom and there's no dividers. After a few seconds of awkwardly standing there, I start to pee as-well.

Fragment
I see three brothers, one skinny, one skinnier, and one skinniest.
Skinny pats skinnier on the back and says "I'm skinny all thanks to my bro!" Skinnier says the same thing to Skinniest and pats him on the back too.

Weight Lifter
There's a large exercise room where there's probably around 25 women and they just got done with an intense exercise. One of the women who completed the exercise no problem was approached by a slightly chubbier women who was struggling a bit. "You had such as easy time, you've been lifting since you were ten right?" The chubbier women asks. "You have no idea how hard it was! You've never tripped!" the fit women says as a cut scene plays showing her as a child tripping.
*I think to myself, what does that have to do with anything?*

Smooth Lucid *It's around 5:30am*
I hear faint smooth jazz playing, I'm floating in a void, I'm lucid.
Everything is black but attempting to control the music proves fruitful. I'm in full control of it, it's hard to explain but, I feel like I'm in total control of every beat of the drum, the saxophone, lyrics, guitar and other melodical instruments. It kind of sounded like smooth operator. I'm the most relaxed I've ever felt before, I wish I could float here forever. I spend about 2-5 minutes playing with the music and lyrics, which I can't remember because it was highly improvisational. I get a bit exited and start adding energy to the music, I decide it's time to start tunneling, *Tunneling is what I like to do to transition out of lingering voids, it involves me flying forward as fast as I can while imagining traveling through a worm hole to an unspecified location, I let my brain come up with where I end up*.
I can feel my body accelerating extremely fast as lines begin to shoot past my vision.



Suddenly I hear a cat meowing, It's Arthur begging for food. As I'm going down the tunnel I become aware of my body lying in bed and wake up.

Note: I stopped letting my cats sleep with me and Arthur, the big baby, meows under the door constantly. Maybe that's why I had a hard time falling asleep. Time to wear ear plugs!

Not at the start of the night this time, I tried out transitioning to the swamp by falling backwards. Landing at what would have been a handstand, I arrived laying down on a bench at the kappa’s home. I have supposedly been staying with the kappa for about 2 months, having been hunting, exploring, training, and relaxing together for a while now. Seeing that I was awake, the kappa told me to get up and eat quickly, since I was ready to see something. I grabbed a meal of fish and small snakes and put on some clothes to head out.

I’ll just use passenger as a name now or figure out his name in a later dream, Passenger was already with Kappa and he was completely battered and exhausted. He advised me to bring my weapons even though we have been training without them. We walked over by the muddy river until we reached a point where all the trees and vines were cut up. Seeing that the training involved cutting attacks, I understood why I needed to bring my sword and axe. Although we talked on the way, they did not bring up what exactly the training would be like.

I asked the kappa how he was going to attack, and Passenger walked in front. He had a whip made from one of the plane’s cables and told me that he was my opponent. I was not sure what to do since I did not want to hurt him, but Kappa said to begin and he immediately struck the river with his whip. By swinging the whip at me after hitting the water, the fish jumped out in my direction. I was able to dodge it, and it bit a chunk off a tree behind me. While I was still processing what he did, he kept swinging the whip around to get more coming at me. I started cutting through each one as it got difficult to dodge, getting cut up myself as their teeth still slammed into me.

The ones that didn’t fly straight at me ended up falling to the sides cutting all plants around me, and Passenger finally whipped at me himself. I was able to block it but after the loud bang from our metal weapons hitting each other, I noticed the flopping fish stopped to point at me again. I jumped out of the way expecting them to jump again, but they shot out streams of water that sliced at all the foliage above. I had to keep running around as the streams kept coming, and saw that Passenger got low to avoid the streams.

After dodging around for long enough, I started getting close and cutting some of them up, eventually realizing their streams could not pierce the sword. After cutting them all, I went straight for Passenger to avoid him riling up the fish any more. I stopped right before hitting him and Kappa called it my win. We finally relaxed and both of them taught me how to get their attention and direct the fish, turning the dangerous fish into something we could use to our advantage. We cooked some at that spot and we agreed to go back to the plane to get me a metal whip like his. I practiced with Passenger’s whip and bit and sparred with Kappa.

Some time passed again and within that time I got a whip and we both got a lot faster and stronger. We were fast enough to catch the fish as they shot at us, now hunting them with our bare hands. We would also jump across the river, sometimes going across the forests solely by jumping off of trees. One time while we were out further grabbing fish as we jumped around, Passenger crashed into the water. Stopping to check on him, he rose out of the water fighting with a crocodile. It was biting down on his arm so I jumped at them with my sword to get the crocodile off.

Its scales were too tough for the sword to cut through, and we both struggled with getting its mouth open. After enough attempts I eventually went for an arm and grabbed to pull it apart. As it was getting torn the skin was tearing as well, and Passenger was able to use my sword with one hand to cut away at its skin. Once its arm came off, the crocodile let go and lunged at me. I was able to avoid its bite and we held it down until it stopped wriggling so much. We headed back home with me carrying the crocodile and Kappa was able to kill it when we arrived.

He also tended to Passenger’s bitten arm and we were able to eat the crocodile for the next couple days. Even though it was clearly dangerous, Kappa decided we would train by fighting crocodiles since the fish and snakes were too easy for us at that point. We fought a few more only being able to knock out the crocodiles, and the dream ended in the middle of one of those fights.

Spring Competition - Night 3

1. Flight In The Lot (LD)
I continue to walk through street on the edge of the parking lot at night. I begin to fly up, feeling weightless. My awareness stirs. I’m asleep…this…a lucid dream…I’m lucid. I see a group of people looking up from below and I swoop down. I land in front of a couple of people, taking in how vivid their appearance is. I begin reflecting on states of consciousness, how I’m aware as I’m asleep and how it may be possible to transition to awareness in deep dreamless sleep. I walk up to the couple, and smile at them.
“Hey guys”.
They smile back. We walk in tandem, as a group for a short bit, then I turn to float away. I’m suddenly laying down in a dark room. I look at my hands at see that they’re essentially wisps of black smoke as I raise them. I wake up.

2. Crescent Moon In Meadow (LD)
I become aware as I’m standing in a square room in a somewhat hazy scene. I walk out into the hallway and realize I’m on the second story of the main house in Meadow. I head down, then float over the balcony. I need to get in a teleport. I make my way into the kitchen. I’ve been starting a lot of lucids lately getting chocolate - maybe I should start by doing something else…whatever I’m here; I may as well. I open the door to the fridge, looking for a drink. Very bright, white light spills out - it’s nearly blinding. I decide to just shut the door and look somewhere else. I look in the cabinet to the left right of the fridge and quickly find a Lindt chocolate bar. I head to the lounge room as I take a bite and the flavor is awesome. I see the computer and think of using technology. I find the power button, hit it, see the light go on in the corner of my eye and hear they faint sound of it starting. I don’t really really feel like waiting to actually go on it - whatever. I walk away and head to the sliding glass door. I decide to try to phase through the wall to the left first, yet my vision goes black and I don’t seem to be popping out into the yard. I reverse, re-enter the lounge room, and slowly phase my whole body through the glass, taking in the visuals of the transition. Once outside, I feel that the dream isn’t as clear and stable as I would like it to be. I simply sit down on the concrete step and begin breathing slowly, sticking my right arm out in front of me. I ground for a short bit and a bit of stability and clarity returns. I rise up and begin to fly along the side of the house considering telekinesis. I ignore it and set my mind to teleportation. The side of the house appears to have a strange blue hue to it. I look to my right and see a deep blue night sky with a large, bright crescent moon looming high above in the sky. I notice that the image of the moon is reflecting of the bluish side of the house. I fly upward along the side of the housing, preparing to phase into the wall to teleport. I wake up.


3. La Bomba (LD)
I’m aware as a hazy scene of a room begins to form. Time to teleport. I feel a sense of urgency to complete the goal as well as to stabilize. I float ahead into the wall in front of me immediately, and my vision goes dark. I feel it’s not a good spot to teleport from, so I back out, returning to the room. I try to phase into the floor below me to teleport yet meet some resistance. I turn to my left, phase right into the wall, and the dream goes to void. I begin holding my awareness. I stay in the void for a while and wonder how long it’s going to take. I imagine tossing the dream talisman to encourage the next scene. I reach to my right and find it quickly. I decide not to toss it, and simply rub it between my index and thumb, feeling the grooves, intending to stabilize. I begin to visualize Haven Peaks and repeat “Haven” a few times. I imagine lightning over the peaks in the night sky. I suddenly appear in a slightly dim room of house which I don’t recognize. The scene is fairly hazy, so I immediately drop down and begin rubbing the floor in circles with my hands and legs. The scene becomes more stable and I look around, noticing a low bed in the center of the room as well as a dresser to the right with what appears to be a Himalayan lamp on top. Hmm I’ll turn he light on…possibly that will count as using tech. reach down to the cord behind the lamp, find the switch, and flick it on. I feel an actual shock run through my hand and arm and I’m surprised by the feeling of voltage running through. It actually stings a bit. I see the light flicker for a moment as if short circuiting. I turn from the lamp and phase straight through the window which has white shutter in front. I enter to an outdoor area with a large building across and a picnic area directly in front of me. Several young kids seem to be hanging out in lounge chairs in the area to my left. One appears to be taking a nap. I fly over to them, looking around, yet don’t find anything interesting. I don’t recognize any. I fly back to the center area and notice picnic tables to my left along with an AC unit to my right next to a large stone stairway leading up to the structure I came from. I’ll use some super strength! I look at the circular table in front of me. I could probably lift that in real life…that wouldn’t count. I look at the AC unit, then focus on the giant stone staircase. Perfect. I grab either side with my hand, tear it from the ground and chuck it high into the building to my left. I should find something to eat. I turn to my left and see red and white candies on the table with a boy sitting behind. I head over and notice two trays of sweets: one with brownies and one with small, square strawberry cakes. I grab the plate of brownies. I should interact too. I turn to the young kid.
“Thank you!” I say with a smile.
I take a bite of a brownie and they taste awesome! I feel super happy and silly as I grab the plate of brownies, flying upward toward the nearby building as I continue to munch.
The song La Bomba begins to play as I fly toward the nearby building and enter through an open door on the right. I should summon something… I look around the room and see several people in the back area sitting next to tables. I begin considering what to summon. I wake up.

I did a short WBTB and it got me a short lucid

Spring Competition 2024 Night 3 (DEILD) 04.01.2024

I started the dream lucid as the dream was forming. I was in a city flying around and I knew a nuke was going to go off in 15 minutes. I flew down and found a bunch of soldiers that I knew I was fighting with. There was a display case that apparently had a button that could stop the nuke but non of my dream powers were working to break the glass or use telekinesis on the button.

I give up on the button and explore a bit. I summon two glocks but somehow know they are airsoft guns. I want to shoot someone on full auto with them because it would be funny but I wake up before I get the courage to do it.

With how the website is at the moment, I’d like to respond to comments with the next entries. The raw dream toad was pretty nasty, not really having a taste but it had very wet insides. It would have probably felt worse if I wasn’t in the very wet swamp for so long before eating it. On the thrown logs, it would be cool if it was the Gator king but for now it still is a mystery who could have done it. I find it funny how quickly the dream went away from the fact that something extremely strong attacked the plane.

Also had this at the start of the night, but a shorter night along with the return to journaling made this easier to remember. I was in my shelter, sitting with the bones left from the frog and fish last night. I got up to hunt some more, grabbing a few rocks as I walked around. I was able to find a few toads this time, with my aim and strength improving with practice. I kept eating what I caught as I kept going, so I would have enough energy to continue. Eventually there were larger toads that fought back, using their tongues to grab my arms and teaming up to bite and scratch me. They were easy enough to defeat by kicking or whipping them around, so I did not consider killing them to complete the task of beating a deadly creature.

I also hunted fish, learning that I could slam sticks or throw rocks at the water to get them to jump up. Days were passing by and over time I increased the parts of the swamps I explored. Eventually I found the plane wreck, so I searched inside to check the situation. The pilot was obviously still dead since he was killed before the crash but the other passenger was missing which showed that they at least jumped off. I checked the equipment and there was not much of use, but the plane had some gas left in it. Turning it on I was able to check the radio, coordinates, and radar. I only had a little time with it, as I heard something running at the plane.

Whatever happened to the passenger wasn’t a mystery anymore, as they were the one running to the plane. They yelled to turn it off, so I quickly did. They were limping as they rushed at me, and they had an axe from the plane. We then sat down in a spot near the plane, and the passenger explained that he believes the sound or electricity gained the attention of whatever threw the logs, and he did not want to risk being attacked again. He broke a leg with the fall and made a splint with parts of the plane, and was surviving with the rations and snacks that were in the plane.

I decided to help him with surviving and brought him to my shelter, and on the way there he said how he could not do much with a broken leg but knew a good amount about how to survive in the wilderness. He made a fire using some of the sticks that were around the plane crash, explaining that they were dried up by the fire. He kept the axe but I was able to make my own sword and axe using metal scraps from the plane. I was able to hunt creatures with something more than thrown rocks now. We then spent a couple months together, with me hunting more creatures including snakes, turtles, birds, and more kinds of fish.

After enough time passed he was able to walk and hunt with me, and we headed deeper into the swamp together. He specialized more in survival aspects such as cooking and making equipment and traps, and we shared knowledge with each other to work together more efficiently. As we were walking I saw a tiny turtle far away in some water and tried out my aim by throwing a rock at it. A head rose out of the water yelling, the turtle shell just being the top of the head. Seeing us it dove in the water and shot straight at us. I tried cutting it in half as it shot out of the water but it blocked my swing with its palm. Now on the ground I saw it was a 3 foot tall kappa.

It was reasonably very irritated after I threw a rock at its head with enough strength to kill a turtle that size. I tried talking it out with him but we eventually agreed to settle it with a fight. I was looking for something more powerful than the fish and snakes, so it was exciting getting into the match. I kept swinging at him with my sword and axe while he kept stopping them with his hands and striking back at me. Getting beat up this way, I threw my weapons to the side and it turned into a brawl with me punching him and him striking back with his palms. Each strike blew the surrounding leaves and plants back, shaking the forest around us. After spending enough months in the dangerous swamp, I was able to match this overpowered kappa in strength.

Still only being an equal against his fighting technique, I began to imitate him with his way of blocking and striking with palms. This gave me the edge I needed, and one of my strikes was able to lift him into the air followed by another slam that threw him into the water. It parted for a moment, showing him hit the bottom on the other end of the muddy stream. I was able to rest a bit and the friend helped to check on my injuries, and after a while the kappa came out of the water peacefully making it clear that I won the fight.

He was really happy after the fight and invited us to his home to rest. There we were able to talk about each of our situations, and we were able to settle on the decision to stay around this area for a while. The dream went on for a bit longer with hunting and exploring a bit more but I eventually ended it off with resting at the kappa’s place.

After being non lucid for a while, I escaped my own balcony, which, in my mind, was a literal prison. I did so by flying off with some kind of device that didn't really make sense. I ended up above a country road at some point and this is where I got lucid, mid flight. I decided to try and control the speed a bit, but the way this thing I was using was shaped made it difficult. Strangely, I never actually looked at the object, but as far as I could tell, it was some kind of bucket shaped object, with fire or air coming out of the open end with a lot of pressure. I was standing on the other end and there was some kind of pipe coming out of the middle, which I was holding onto while flying this thing. I tried to change the angle to fly faster, which worked, but it didn't make a big difference. I eventually decided to land on the ground. On the ground, I saw a group of people made up of former classmates of mine from real life. I was curious about what they were doing there, so I decided to go there. One of my class teachers was talking to a girl about something while the rest was kind of just there and talked to each other, not having any particular tasks to do. When I looked at their faces, it seemed to me that they were really accurate to real life, better than I could remember in waking life. This might have been a deception, not sure. There was a fence next to the group, a bit taller than me, which I jumped over with super strength. I woke up shortly after this.

The mental clarity wasn't perfect in this LD and I probably would've done something else had it been better, but there was still some stuff that gives points for the competition and I wasn't bored either, so whatever.
