lucid

This will be my first post on this platform as I am a new user but I am looking forward to reading and connecting with other individuals. I have a lot of experience with lucid dreaming and I have been doing it for several years now. Recently I have begun a new phase of my adult life; I have lost interest to carnal desires and I am going on 3 years strong of complete sobriety. I even managed to completely ditch energy drinks which was a very hard thing for me to accomplish. I believe that all these factors contribute to my most recent lucid dream. My dreams usually become lucid about half way through when I realize that I am dreaming and I completely gain control of the dream experience. Yesterday's dream started the same as all my other lucid dreams have done, only this time things were a lot different. I have been trying to connect to the metaphysical for several months now through meditation so the idea of reaching out to my higher self has been at the back of my mind for a while. My dream from yesterday went from lucid to sleep paralysis which often also leads to astral projection for me but this time I was aware enough to call out to my higher self. I requested its presence and it is then that I heard a voice in my head. I couldn't see anything but I could hear a voice and feel very intense vibrations throughout my entire body. It was honestly kind of intimidating but I managed to not become fearful and kept on asking my higher self the questions that I wanted to know. The first thing that I asked it off the bat was what my purpose was. The voice responded that it knew but could not tell me because it would get in trouble. That one got to me because it almost assured me that there is a cosmic law that even higher beings have to follow. I made the mistake of not writing down what I asked it as soon as I woke up because I can not remember the full conversation. Another thing that my higher self told me wasn't an answer to a question but a message of its own to me. It told me that my daughter had a gift for science and that she had the gift to obtain a great career in this realm. I was taken back because none of my other two boys were brought up, only she was. It requested that I feed this gift by nurturing her curiosity and making her feel supported. Now I'm contemplating how I can provide her with a good scientific education, she already goes to a good school for girls that is set up to help young girls obtain greatness. The last exchange I remember having with this sentient being is telling it that I loved it dearly and appreciated its helpful information. I woke up with the same amount of consciousness that I had going in as if the fine line between sleep and being awake was non present. Now that I have had my first conversation with my higher self, I will continue to expand my experiences in this topic and post them here so that I can know if anyone else out there has gone through something similar.

Forgot by now what the original lucid dream was about exactly, but it was another thing where only I could do something. Not sure why that type of dream appeared two nights in a row. I left into the attack on titan world for the final day of the challenge through making the city fold up from the ground. It was already cool seeing every building rise into view but seeing the walls go even higher than expected was impressive to see. Even after all the other dreams I could not get used to how huge they are. I almost began destroying the city from the start, but I was able to remember about the whole deal of only destroying more if the survey corps attempted to evacuate. I headed straight for the barracks, preparing a sword out of the long hair-like strands of hardening I had on me.

As I neared the barracks, I noticed one of the titan team members waiting by a building. I went with them and we entered a building where I met many more team members than in any other dream. I could tell this was supposed to be everyone on the titan team for the competition along with several dream characters. I was already confident with the few from before but this seemed like overkill. We strategized a bit and when the meeting ended we headed towards the barracks in groups. Each of the members had swords with them from my ability to defend themselves in human form. Since the survey corps did not know of our full numbers we had a group with all known titans, with the others splitting to spread across to cover more ground.

We could see that training was still going on, so it appeared they listened to our demands from the last dream. My group walked up to the front gate, seeing some of the survey corps already standing there waiting. They tried to convince us to turn back as our last chance before the attack happened, with their swords already out. In the middle of conversation one of them rushed at me and tried cutting my head off. Quick enough to call it instinct, I was able to stop the blade with my hand and shattered it. Seeing the risk to the other teammates and wanting to add impact, I used mass telekinesis to shatter all the other swords pointed at us in what appeared to the characters as a result of the impact. Our group transformed and the fight began. With our appearance several of the buildings in and out of the base had their windows shattered as countless survey corps attempted to end the fight before we could cause any destruction.

With all the soldiers coming out, some were slicing at legs and other at arms but I noticed they were not aiming for the nape for some reason. Since the colossal titan already transformed, he ran into the center of the base to completely crush everything there. I was trying to defend myself by flinging the people attached to my arms and stomping at those near my legs, but the amount of people was much higher than in any other fight. Looking to check on the other titan, he was already on the ground with no limbs left. Even without aiming for the weak spot, disabling the titan brought him down and made the nape much easier to hit for the kill. It was too late for me to save them, but their strategy was now clear. The other titans surrounding the base started transforming in an attempt to overwhelm the survey corps, but I could see countless soldiers come out the buildings near them as well. This was clearly meant to be a fight between the entirety of both teams.

I restricted my dream control to only what my titan could reasonably do, as I wanted it to be a fair fight. With each group rushing at the barracks, there were three other titans that were very quickly cut down by all the soldiers slicing at their limbs. I started trying something similar to my titan sized sword in a past dream through spinning blades around my limbs to cut the cords off the soldiers surrounding me. Even if they were not killed by the blades, they would eventually lose both cords and either fall to their deaths or be unable to come back up. The colossal titan is capable of releasing a ton of superheated steam at once for a massive explosion, so we got him to do that even if it hit other titans. Although some titans were hurt by the blast, it terribly burnt and even killed some of the survey corps surrounding the titans. Between the blasts of heat, one of the soldiers were able to launch themselves up at the colossal titan’s nape and take it down.

Even if we were able to take down most of the survey corps, about half of the titans have already been killed. I began forming spikes and blades from the ground near the other titans to defend them, and that brought the soldiers’ attention to me. To end the fight, getting them all to attack me would prevent me from needing to run at every single soldier. Once every soldier was on me, I formed walls in all directions to close them in with me. Having it close off as a dome, they were unable to escape. With their teamwork they were able to cut my body down and even decapitate my titan form, but my ability to move my human body within kept those attacks from finishing me off. Reforming limbs and spikes with the hardening as they kept fighting eventually brought me to not even resemble a humanoid shape anymore.

It was difficult to get the last few survey corps as they continued dodging and cutting at my endless spikes but eventually they were worn down along with their equipment through running out of swords or gas. Once I finally got to one soldier left, I took down the titan form to fight them one on one as a human. Bringing out my own blade against their last sword, we were able to talk as we fought. Complimenting each other’s strategies and skill, we somewhat bonded even as clear enemies. Our swords finally snapped, and we were able to come to an agreement. Although we had the plan to wipe all the survey corps out, I would want to fight this soldier again. We chose to end the fight as a draw, and I made a way for them to leave the walls I formed without the other titans noticing. On pulling down the walls, the rest of the titans saw there was no one left and claimed victory. Those of us left were able to gather for a celebration in a successful ending to the pr. I doubt I would return to this specific pr but there is enough left over for the pr to continue developing if I were to come back.

Uhh, not sure what the deadline is for this comp, but I’m uploading this anyway… I hope next time I’m not so busy

Night 10

Decent RCs.

Dream #1 (Non-Lucid):
Yuu had gotten Mika (both from OnS) into some trouble and now he’d been eaten by a giant ogre. His soul was being used to go on a killing spree. Yuu got himself eaten to save him and destroyed a bracelet to “hide” Mika’s energy.


Dream #2 (Non-Lucid):
Two guys were in a relationship but one was pretty toxic, he was upset that the other didn’t go to school with the green lipstick he’d bought him. He shoved him down on the couch and went on a ten-minute rant about how it was way cuter than normal lipstick…


Dream #3 (Non-Lucid):
I was in a school classroom in China, and a boy had taken a video of another boy sleeping on desks with two girls. He was trying to stir up trouble, so I took his phone and deleted it, forcing him to unlock his “recently deleted.”


Dream #4 (Lucid):
The girls from Life by Suenobu Keiko were in a mall buying something at a cash register. Ayumu ignored a guy hitting on her to jump on Hatori, squealing, “Hatori, I neeeed youuuu~!”

Hatori hugged her back with one arm. “You know, Ayumu, I like to have fun, but being a pal will always come first.”

In the distance was an ex-teacher who was now a professional race driver, trying to recruit her old students to the derby.

Scene change. (J) and I were in Japan in an Ethiopian store. I took some candies out of a jar that was displayed before we left.

“Hey, isn’t that stealing?” (J) asked.

“Uhh, I don’t think so. Why would they be out in the open like that if they weren’t for people to take?”

“Lots of stores do that. Doesn’t mean it’s free game.”

“Well, whatever.”

As we were walking, I noticed the snow was melting and started running home. Except I was only running with one leg, which made me think, It’s like a dream…

I told (J) I needed some help running and grabbed her hand. She quickly got ahead of me, but somehow I could feel her hand even when we were disconnected. For a second I wondered about the physics of that, but then I realized it was impossible. This must be a dream!

I told (J) and she easily believed me (this is not what I mean by my personal goal of making a DC lucid). She wondered if I would still feel her hand if one of us died, and since she’d never died in a dream before we decided she would be the one to kick the bucket.

I decided to kill her myself to hopefully reduce the amount of adrenaline. We both held the string of a balloon to connect our hands, and then I grabbed another, trying to make a beam of light explode out of it and hit her. But it just jerked weakly to the side and deflated with a tiny glow.

Next I tried to shoot energy out of my hands, but that didn’t work either. (J) made fun of me, saying, “This is why you should never try silly, informal experiments! Never! Never! Never! Never!…”

I woke up as she was chanting.


Dream #5 (Non-Lucid):
Someone on DV dared people to be their friend, so I sent them a request and they instantly accepted. Suddenly a timer appeared on the screen for me to become their “grandchild.” I was confused but accepted in a panic.

A new section on the website unlocked and spammed me with notifications. Apparently grandchildren had responsibilities, something to do with chatting with people. I woke up before I could find out more.


Dream #6 (Fragment, Non-Lucid):
I was drawing, experimenting with clothing creases and shading.


Night 11

Decent RCs.

Dream #1 (Non-Lucid):
I could make these video-game mushrooms fall from my hands using my summoning strategy. (So upset I didn’t get lucid…) I proceeded to “hallucinate” many things, one of which was a cute bunny eraser that I could hold firmly. I was shocked that no one else could see or feel it.

Later I went to (J) & (L)’s house and (A) was sleeping over. I was a bit upset but didn’t want to go in because I wasn’t wearing a mask.


Dream #2 (Non-Lucid):
My brain combined the games Alter Ego and Project Sekai. Anyone with over 27J EGO was invited to a ProSeka event where they were giving out $3,000 scholarships.

The parking was very weird, located in the very back of this pool place, and inside the seating arrangements seemed to be designed for a psych experiment. In the end I gave up trying to figure out the meaning and just sat next to (J). I complained about having lost my old account with 999.99Z, since it would've made me eligible for a much larger scholarship.


Dream #3 (Non-Lucid):
Fantasy world. This boy could choose his “mom,” and always chose dragons for some reason. His first mom was like an extremely toxic yandere, she had so many rules and ended up eating him so he wouldn’t leave her.

He was reborn and this time moved in with a friendly old dragon on an island, who only hated it when people got angry. The boy didn’t get angry often, but one day he wanted to be the only one to water the flowers, to be “MVP” or something. He yelled at the old dragon, who went silent and trudged into his house. Woke up before I could see any real consequences.


Dream #4 (Fragment, Non-Lucid):
One of my brothers was watching me from under my bedroom door. I was annoyed but not frightened.


Night 12

I woke up at 4:00 and went back to sleep, but I don’t remember any dreams before this one. Decent RCs.

Okay it pains me to do this, but the dreams from here on are sooo long and I don’t have time to type them out, so I’m just going to put the titles.

In this lucid dream a gate was opened up to go between the world and hell, and I was one of the few who could go back and forth. While there I was also capable of writing names to free people back to the living world, almost like the opposite of a death note. My goal was to write down every name to bring everyone back, but with the clearly repetitive task ahead of writing billions of names, I chose to enter the attack on titan pr. Using a similar gate as the one for hell, I had it send me over to the pr. I wanted to complete the task of speaking with the survey corps so I went searching for them instead of my titan teammates. It was not hard finding one, as at this point there were soldiers all over the streets. Most were practically policemen instead of survey corps, but it still got me closer to them. As I was about to approach one, a member of the titans pulled me into an alley and asked what I was even doing. I told them I wanted to hear them out at least once more before they were wiped out.

They agreed that I could, on the condition that they along with another member came with me. I saw they had another teammate with them already, the member being Saizapod. Agreeing to it we went up to the soldier I was going towards earlier. The soldier started panicking after recognizing me and noticing I came with others, but we made it clear we just wanted to talk. I could tell they were going to attack anyways, so I decided to have fun with it and made myself invincible right before they tried shooting at me. I was a bit surprised since I was used to swords in the pr but it still did nothing. We could not get the soldier to calm down, but he eventually agreed to take us to other soldiers that had direct connections to the survey corps. They seemed to be a higher rank than him since they scolded him a lot, but agreed to meet at their choice of location.

They seemed to have something already planned at the location we were headed towards, as they were able to quickly decide on a place. It was outside of the walls, so clearly meant to be away from civilians and important buildings. As we went there some of us tried asking questions to the soldiers but they really did not want to give away any useful information. I used mind manipulation to make them willing to talk, and after they answered a question for me the other titans caught on and repeated questions that weren’t answered before. Our questions included asking who we were meeting along with whatever defenses and plans they had with the place. It turns out they wanted to bait us there later, but since that was not supposed to happen yet there were still a good amount of supplies openly stored there. There were also a lot of survey corps members there, but I wanted to talk to them anyway and was confident if a fight were to happen.

As we were arriving there were a few buildings almost as if it were a small town, but based on the soldier’s description it was all a survey corps base hidden outside the walls. He spoke about the situation with a survey corps member outside, and they started bringing tables and chairs outside to set up the meeting. It was smart of them to not trap themselves inside a collapsible building with titans, but that didn’t make much difference to our plans of a peaceful talk and potential fight. Once it was all set up, the three of us titans were faced with about 10 survey corps members and several watching in the distance. Among all the visible members I saw Hukif, Cookino, and theshirecat. It was a really long conversation revolving around plans both sides had, possible peaceful solutions, with a bunch of threatening each other mixed into it. Although we were confident in our abilities, it would be more advantageous to have all the titans with us rather than facing all the survey corps with just the three of us. Although it was uncertain if a fight would break out here, we revealed our plan to attack the barracks with all the training facilities around it. If they used that information to simply evacuate it, we would destroy the city.

Now writing a bit about the conversation, I’m not too sure what the strategy was behind telling them but it got the soldiers to focus on that day rather than focusing on just the three of us. When the meeting finally ended we were unsure if a fight would break out but we reasoned they would deviate from our plan for the final fight if there weren’t enough of them left. We used a simple carriage to head out and the same driver took us back, but the entire time we were unsure if a fight would break out from the soldiers taking us or from other soldiers within the walls. We were able to arrive safely and went our own ways, with me leaving the pr there. Not much action happened, but it was all to complete the old task and to set up the big fight on the final night.

Party Memories:
I'm at a wedding party, but I don't know whose it is.
The party is being held at an outdoor venue, and it looks like a mixture of IM's (from the Tots) and MM's (from highschool) backyards.
It's night-time, and there is a hot tub on my right. I see BY from highschool in a full suit, and wonder if he got the memo that this was supposed to be casual.
There is a sliding door on the left, and it goes into the sitting room from my previous home.
I set up an area there, sort of "my spot" where I can feel less socially awkward, and gather up the people I know at the party.
...
I'm in a local bar called Cornish Pasty. I'm sitting at the bar with MW from highschool.
We're sitting where I sat a few months back with JV in waking life.
He's there because I am getting married soon.
MW tells me that there might be something in the mail for me, implying he's bought one of the wedding registry items.
I'm feeling awkward, looking for a conversation topic, when I remember that I was at his wedding party recently.
I bring it up, and he remarks how drunk everybody was, and how we are all singing.
I tell him I remember that, but I don't.

Stuck:
I'm waking up in my bed, and I remember that I had just returned to sleep from my 6hr/20m WBTB.
I do a nose reality check and I can breathe. I'm dreaming.
I'm in bed, but I can't move. I try to blink-teleport, imagining that if I can just change the dream scene I'll regain my movement naturally.
So, I close my eyes and imagine a vast blue ocean.
I open my eyes.
Nothing changes, still stuck.
The dream fades and I wake briefly.

Loki and Oreo:
I false awake into my bed again, knowing to reality check.
I'm lucid again, but still can't move.
This time I try something else. I imagine my old Doberman Loki (rest is peace, he was the best boy).
The idea is that he will jostle the bed enough to kick my body into gear.
I call for him "Loki! Are you here?" and he comes bounding into the bedroom and jumps into the bed.
He, of course, lays down next to me because he always was a big lazy boy.
He looks up at me, inquisitive as ever with his dopey eyes and large snoot. He looks so real. I laugh, and wonder if my girlfriend can hear me laughing in waking life (I asked later, she could not).
My plan worked, when Loki jumped on me, that was enough to give me my movement back.
I looked back down, and now Loki had changed into a different childhood pet.
My longhair black and white cat, Oreo (also rest in peace, she was top-gangsta thug).
I get out of bed and say "C'mon! Let's go!" and Oreo gracefully leaps off the bed to follow me.
I see her characteristic "gangsta-prowl" as she moves and marvel at how well my brain is recreating my old pets.
Finally I leave the bedroom and realize that I should stabilize the dream soon, worried that it might fade.
The dream is a near-perfect recreation of my house, but it has blue hue to it.
Otherwise, the best way I can describe it is "thin". I think to myself, maybe I am low on REM sleep.
I start to narrate what I am doing as I do it "I'm walking in my hallway, I'm stabilizing the dream, I'm touching the walls..."
It occurs to me that I need to spend less time in my own head, or the dream is going to fade.
I make a concerted effort to engage with the environment, and not internalize too much.
As is tradition at this point, I lick the wall to help stabilize. It tastes like wall.
All this seems to help a bit, but I believe that I was simply low on REM, so the dream was going to be unstable no matter what.
Then I remember that it was the last night of competition, and I had defined some goals.
I recall my first goal of the three-step is to "summon" and then "ask for advice" so I go to summon Jordan Peterson.
But wait, I changed my mind earlier on the plan. I struggle to remember, but then I do.
During my WBTB 20 minutes, I decided instead that I would summon Daniel Love, because he would be able to assist me with a teleport.
I start to imagine Daniel Love in my house. I call out to him "Daniel! Are you here? Daniel?"
For a moment, no response.
But then a head pops out from behind a door down the hallway on the right, where the bathroom is.
"Yeah yeah I'm here!" he says, a bit flustered.
But, before I can ask him for advice on teleporting, the dream fades out.

I see the back of my car and take a few steps. My awareness raises. I'm lucid. It's daytime and it's parked at the edge of a lot next to a few other cars. I need to get some points for the competition! I think of basic summoning, yet decide against it and think of light and phasing. I repeat "dream, dream, dream" as I walk forward. I raise up and float toward a black hatchback parked next to my car. I phase through the right side and end up above the center console. I decide to go for full transformation and shrink down into mouse form. I feel like it's not perfectly accurate, so I begin to revert to humanoid form, phase back out through the side of the car and fly upward. I transform into bird form and feel my wings flapping. I'm happy with the shape and fell of the dream body. I fly forward a bit toward a field on the edge of the lot. I land, reverting to humanoid form. I see a lone tree standing a few meters in the distance and stick my arm out to go for mass telekinesis. The tree doesn't budge. I decide to just run up and use super strength to rip it out of the ground. I begin to feel that I'm waking up. The dream blurs a bit as I reach my arms out toward the trunk. I wake up.

1. The Bus (LD)
I head from the first level of the bus onto the second. As I head onto the level, I see about half the gray seat filled and a female with black hair, head hanging down. I recognize her as H and become lucid. I approach. I need to score some points for the competition! I jog my memory and think of full transformation. I shrink down onto H's lap and turn into a mouse. I crawl up her leg a bit. I then think of flying as well as phasing. I lift off and fly up a bit, then head through the wall of the bus to the left. I quickly phase back in and approach H once again. I lay down next to her and give her a hug. I begin to wake up.

2. Chocolate Shop (LD)
I walk farther down the hallway of the office and my awareness begins to rise. I'm facing a doorway on the far end.
"I'm lucid in this place". I'm lucid.
I turn to my left and notice that the quality is a bit fuzzy. I begin shouting: "Clarity! Clarity!" The dream comes into focus and my awareness raises. I begin thinking of what I want to do and soon think of points as well as exiting the office building. I fly down the hallway and phase through the glass window on the end. I lower down into the area and see several buses in front of me. I transform into a mouse and run closer. I begin searching my memory for different activities to score points. I revert to humanoid form and decide to basic summon a genie lamp. I search around the first bus, yet only see a mental wisp of a lamp which disappears. I imagine cocoa around the next, yet don't find any. I begin to fly toward a nearby bus, deciding to board. I fly toward the entrance of one and board. I see a male bus driver who is roughly forty as I walk up. I snap my finger to go invisible as I head up the stairs. I want to test the invisibility, so I shove my head right in front of his face. He stares through me. I then begin to go for his golden necklace. He doesn't react. I back off. He then turns toward me and asks in an angry tone if I'm just going to stand there and expect not to do anything. I cross my arms to turn on invulnerability. I see that he activates some super power within him and seems to give off an alien aura. I pull my arm back then throw a super punch, knocking a head off and through the window. I then look back at the driver and head is back on. I hear an alien sound as he begins to skitter nearby. He hints that he's going to use a super attack to slice my arm off. He goes for the strike, yet I'm unharmed. I head to the back of the bus, thinking of other dreamers who encounter beings of incredible power. I exit the bus and find myself on a countryside road which I don't like at first. I then notice a simple, wooden two story structure to my right. I float into the main entrance and decide to try to find cocoa. I snap my fingers to go invisible and float pass a worker inside. I see shelves on the edge of a counter in the center filled with chocolate bars. I grab an artisan one off of the bottom shelf that has a tan cover and bite into it. It's great! There are hints of berry. I once again set my attention to advanced summoning. I decide to find a Cadbury bar at first, then switch to a blue chocolate bar. I find a bar with a tan wrapper and blue writing. I take a few steps to the right, beginning to head to a back room. I begin to wake up.

I originally tought I had 2 non lucid dreams, but one of them turned to be a lucid so I decided to make a proper dream journal entry.

Dream 1 (Lucid):
I'm home, my mother is in the living room and screams that a robot is attacking her. When I come over to see what is happening there is nothing there with her, she said she screamed something random in fear because she tought there was a ghost in the living room. Later her and my stepfather are sleeping in the living room. I go to my room to try to sleep.

Upon arriving there I realize in one of my hands there is a little toy car, apparently I grabbed it without even realizing which kinda creeped me out a bit. I try to put it down somewhere but I'm worried it might roll over and fall, startling me during the night. I stuff it in some purse that I find on the floor near my bed.

I can't fall asleep, I feel like something is watching me and I start praying (I'm not religious in waking life), eventually I fall asleep.

My memory is kinda foggy on when exactly the next part happened but I know it happened during this dream.

I'm in my room, I don't remember exactly what I'm doing but I remember talking with my mother and being suspicious that I was dreaming. I do a nose pinch RC but it fails. I'm still somewhat suspicious so I do another RC later and I can breathe while pinching my nose. I become lucid.

I can't properly remember what I planned to do, just that one of my goals involved summoning someone. For some reason the first thing I think of is summoning a slime girl. I hold my hand behind me and imagine a hand grabbing mine. I try to imagine it having a slime texture. When I pull it forward the slime girl is made of some weird, green see-through wax substance (I'm not sure she was even animated, I think she was just some human-size stick figure made of this wax material). I can't remember anything past this point.

Dream 2:
I am watching a video on my phone of some guy in a playground at night, it's extremely foggy, you can barely see a few centimeters in front of him in some directions.

I am now seeing the dream in this guy's POV. He talking about how there is some creepy owl staring at him. He looks to the left and there is a single owl just standing there, staring at him. At some points the dream looks light one of those trail cam videos and the owl has glowing eyes. He looks to the right and there is what seem to be hundreds of owls and deer in the woods, staring at him with glowing eyes. He looks back to the single owl and it has distanced itself a little. He looks back to the right and the animals are now closer to him. At this point he starts running away while calling the police. He eventually makes it to a road with police cars, telling the officers what was going on in the playground. I think this guy might have been a police officer too, but I'm not sure. In the end he rides away in one of the cars.

Attack on titan spoiler warning! The lucid dream was originally of a road trip that recently arrived at an entire city built by a single person. Despite its size it was more of a piece of art as the city was made without a demand for one, resulting in all buildings being vacant. It was at this stop where I chose to return to Paradis. Inspired by the entire setting being created by one person, I morphed and moved around the ground and city I was in to recreate the world of attack on titan. I found myself at a random spot in the city once everything settled into place, not exactly where I left off. I remembered the fight from last time, but forgot we ended in one of the titan team’s homes. I could tell this was set days after the fight, but I had to look around to find out more information on how the world has developed. Taking the easiest route, I went straight to the first person I saw on the street and noticed they immediately backed away.

Knowing my identity has been seen before, I grabbed the person before they ran off. They were scared but quickly answered all of my questions. The survey corps and the police within the walls were looking for the three titan members caught in the cafe last dream, with more information and pictures of our faces drawn on the newspapers. I thanked them and went off to get a newspaper to learn more since I was starting to attract attention this way. Seeing a newspaper stand I spawned some coins on my open hand and paid for one. As told, there were professional sketches and descriptions of me and the others. To appear less like the description I got rid of my hardening imitation of hair and used some under my skin to change my facial structure and height. Realizing the man at the newspaper stand saw me changing, I used one of the discarded hardened strands of hair as a blade to kill him.

Before I left the scene someone else walked up to me, I was ready to attack but saw they were just another member of the titans. They did not have their identity revealed, so they were safe to walk around the city with me. As we were walking they explained where the titans were hiding now along with plans to take out more of the survey corps. They have taken care of some squads by reporting sightings and taking them down as a group, along with simply taking some squads outside of the walls by surprise. They were emboldened by my success with their lookout in the past dream and now most of the survey scouts were killed or unable to fight anymore. Most of the ones left were captains, extremely skilled soldiers, and trainees. The mission we wanted to complete soon was destroying the barracks along with anyone inside. The survey corps would lose trainees, equipment, and effective instructors. My teammate also asked for more strands of hardening so they could all use those as swords.

We were walking as we talked, and arrived at the office building I was familiar with. I was worried that some people there would recognise me and wanted to keep my distance, but my teammate reminded me of my change in appearance. I was also worried about harming people I got to know in the area since over the dreams I met people throughout the town and although I did not write about each of those interactions I became familiar with the area. As the building was essential to the survey corps, taking it down would dramatically lower their capabilities. While thinking and talking about it, my teammate pointed out two other teammates who arrived. Once again Oneirin was there, and the plan was to have him destroy the building while the rest of us spread out defending him. We split walking away from the building in different directions while Oneirin walked up to the front doors. The guards immediately went for him and he charged through the doors.

In a single moment, light shot out the windows and lightning crashed at the surrounding buildings reaching out from the exploding building. He was the colossal titan. Right as the deafening shockwave from the explosion reached me, I wondered what defense he would even need. Almost as an answer, soldiers came out of several surrounding buildings with some still putting on gear and others already jumping from rooftops to counterattack against the titan. Among the waves of soldiers I saw Meiseki, Iluzjusz, and Harlequin again. Seeing all of the soldiers, I transformed along with the other titans in the distance. Titans being in all directions led the soldiers facing away from me to quickly notice I was behind them as well, But now having the sword use of my titan power in mind I sliced some down with a created blade. I grew other blades out of the ground for the other titans to pick up along with collars they could put on to protect the obvious weak spot of their necks.

Putting them on, the rest of the titans were able to easily take down multiple soldiers at once. It got considerably harder after the first couple kills as the only soldiers left were truly the most skilled. I saw some soldiers running on one titan and another titan with their arms sliced off. On my end, I was cutting down those I could and regenerating whatever parts were cut by the more difficult ones. I was able to trap one in a hollow orb made from the hardening, but once that happened to one the rest became more cautious. Considering the other titans were already given the collars for protection, I did not pay much mind to them as I looked around for the buildings soldiers came out from. Crushing those likely destroyed equipment stored there as the survey squad were clearly prepared for an attack on their office.

The colossal titan was already on it, destroying all buildings near the office. Once we caused enough destruction and killed all the survey corps we reasonably could, We ran at each other to prepare our escape. I started with shooting my hand through the three smaller titans to grab the people out of their forms. I had to reach my arm up and jump to grab the body in the colossal titan. Once everyone was collected, I was surrounded by every surviving survey corps like a swarm of flies. I once again pulled off a similar escape by balling everyone into a hollow orb and throwing both the orb and my encased body. One of the soldiers was able to grab onto the orb in flight and I simply stabbed into them with a spike since the wind pressure left them stiff in the air. On landing I granted the other titans invulnerability for a moment since there was no reasonable way for them to survive the landing even in the orb. I released them and got myself out of my crystal casing, and I ended the dream after completing the mission. I was not too concerned with ending at a consistent place this time.

Attack on titan spoilers! The lucid dream originally had me exploring different museums, and the world’s different vehicles, history, and creatures really made it interesting to look around. When it was finally time to get to the world of attack on titan I wanted to try the advanced flying task. I flew all the way to space and crashed back down into where I left off. It was cool seeing the walls come into view and very fitting considering I was thrown there at the end of the last competition dream. Allowing the crystals to disappear away almost like ice melting at high speed, I walked away from the wreckage caused by my casing crashing into several buildings. The warhammer titan came with the ability to create anything from a white armored material that appears as strips on the titan’s form. I used that ability to partially disguise myself, creating long white hair and covering some of my clothing with the white armor. It can flex like cloth, so it did not stand out any more than a white shirt would. Some of the military arrived on the scene but it would take at least an hour for my now two man squad to reach where I was.

Several of the soldiers that arrived took control of the scene, ensuring everyone’s safety, saving some people from the wrecked buildings, and asking witnesses for information. I was also stopped and told them I just saw the buildings explode and that I wanted to leave out of fear for any other destruction that might happen. After leaving the scene I headed straight for one of the titan hideouts. The memories of the previous warhammer titan have been extremely useful for adjusting to the titan team. I did not have the maneuver gear on anymore, so I ran through alleys and streets at high speeds to reach the base in a reasonable amount of time. Their base was a warehouse, and in the past they’ve ran or hid whenever someone tried breaching through the doors. To enter while catching them off guard, I went through the wall on a side where there was no doorway or window to enter regularly.

There was a meeting taking place with six of the titan shifters, and they all were shocked and clearly ready to attack when they noticed me in the building. I could tell one of them was Lucid Wannabe due to looking like his profile picture and another of the seven was Oneirin. No explanation for him, just dreams sometimes identifying people. The other four were unidentified whether they were regular dream characters or somewhat competition teammates. Looking back my memories should have identified them all but this is how it played out. I tried calming them saying that I was one of them, showing that I still had scars under my eye due to the recent transformation. They were still uneasy, saying they were sure they knew all the titans. Some tried to prevent others from giving away too much information and several were talking at once. Since they were still reasonably on edge, I agreed to sit down and tell them everything I know.

I told them about the village outside the walls, the titans near it and within the woods, the shifters being kept safe in the town, and the squad that was sent there. As I told them my side with some revisions and answered their questions they got a bit less tense. One of them asked about the other titan shifters there, which alerted me to the fact that the member likely knew the titans personally after I tried presenting the story as if I was one of them. Since that member would get in the way of my integration into the team, I manipulated their memories so they would forget about the appearance of the warhammer titan. I then told about the other members that were in the village and answered another question they had, which was the type of titan I had. I told them I was the warhammer titan, and it luckily turned out that the member whose mind I manipulated was the only one who had seen the warhammer titan before. They discussed only a little of their plans to take down the survey corps before another member came in through some stairs that reached the roof saying soldiers were headed our way.

I chose to head out since the soldiers likely were tracking me down, and both Oneirin and the member from the roof joined me. The member that was the lookout told me they heard everything and also expressed their frustration at not catching me before I entered. We entered a small cafe nearby and the other members explained that appearing to meet in a public place made soldiers lose suspicion of a base being nearby even if they were caught. Two soldiers walked in and as they walked to our table they clearly looked in my direction. They asked if I was at the collapse nearby and I acted as if I only heard it in the distance. In the middle of our conversation, the lookout member transformed and they were able to grab and cover us as several soldiers came crashing through the windows. The lookout appeared as a regular titan, and Oneirin said he would cause way too much damage if he transformed. Leaving it up to the lookout and me, he gave one piece of advice right before I transformed. Since the warhammer titan was capable of moving and forming its hardening and body anywhere, I was also able to move my human body throughout the titan body rather than keeping it in the ground attached by an obvious line similar to the show.

Transforming, I followed his advice and put my body into the chest of the titan to keep it covered while avoiding the obvious weak spots of the nape or an external casing. There were soldiers swinging in from all directions, attacking the lookout and slicing at my titan’s body even as it formed. Oneirin was kept safe in one of the lookout’s hands. Among the soldiers was the captain, Hukif, and one or two other squads which featured Harlequin and Cookino. Cookino somewhat resembled their avatar and Harlequin appeared with reddish hair. Since most soldiers would aim for the nape, I paid extra attention to attacks right as they landed there and grew spikes immediately to take down any soldier that attacked. Growing out a sword to cut at the cords of incoming soldiers was also incredibly effective, as they would be unable to save themselves from falling at that height if both of their cords were cut. Some that lost one cord even stayed in the air long enough to get their other cord cut. The lookout was effective at grabbing and slamming some of the soldiers but had to keep one hand back to protect his neck.

Once all soldiers were dead, escaped, or unable to fight any more, we went over a few blocks and transformed back. There was no point in hiding our identities from the soldiers that just saw us turn into titans, but they were unable to follow us in their state. Once we regrouped in a different building, the titans excitedly told the others how we fought and I explained how I needed somewhere to stay now as my house was definitely not safe to return to. One of the other unidentified members allowed me to stay at their place, so we both headed there and I figured it would be a good place to leave off. Once we got there, they said they only had one bed so back to the couch it is.

Attack on titan spoilers warning once again. The lucid dream originally had a lot of flying around and fighting with different powers, and it was somewhere in those fights where I figured I might as well go to the attack on titan world to fight with the gear. I teleported into the home where I left off, and it was already morning with the sun shining through the windows. I woke up in the vendor’s house instead of my own, but once again getting up from the couch. Getting up I saw her making breakfast and I decided to help out with preparing it. Something was missing so I spawned it in the fridge to make it seem as if it were always there. This reminds me that even though it was just on the bread and not in it, I did make bread with almonds in real life similar to the almond bread from a past dream. We talked over breakfast then went out to each of our jobs. Once together with the team again at the barracks, we discussed what happened last time and some plans with how to approach them. When he arrived the captain had us head out quickly since we were able to discuss on the way.

As we headed out the gate and towards the town, each member of the team shared their ideas. Gareth suggested we should investigate quietly, staying far from the town to avoid being noticed. The previously unnamed member Ramon stated that we should enter with authority as we are soldiers, and take in members for interrogation. Hukif was happy with Ramon’s plan and wanted to be the one to interrogate, telling just some of what he would do to them with the mention of a rumor that eating titans and people involved with them would give you the strength of a titan. Knowing it was a dream allowed me to bend my morals and be alright with the plan, although I preferred if interrogations started peacefully. The captain acted as a mediator to the talk and agreed with the plan of interrogation but had us begin by observing from afar to catch the suspects by surprise. Doing this would prevent them sneaking away and possibly make them reveal their intentions immediately.

Once we were close enough, we got off our carriage and walked towards the town while staying mostly behind hills. With how easy it might be to spot us in the mostly empty field, we moved on to searching for an empty part of town to get in. We eventually found an abandoned looking building on the other side of the town, which would allow us to watch while in the shadows of the building. We got inside and were able to see some of the townspeople passing by. We did not see any of the rivals from last time so we were unsure if they ran or hid due to our visit in the last dream. To figure out where they were, I used X-ray vision to look into every building and found that they weren’t hiding in the town. While seeing through walls though, I found out there was someone hiding in a basement to the building we were in. As I went to tell the captain, the moment I pointed downwards he let me know Gareth already figured it out. Ramon was taking notes of the people we saw, so they directed me to write in it if there was anything else to say. I wrote that the two rivals I saw were gone from town, and the rest agreed that the most obviously involved was the one hiding under us. They were practically trapped with us, so Hukif and Ramon went down to capture and interrogate the person in the basement.

The part of the team that stayed on top still watched out and planned on who to capture from the town if this interrogation did not work out, but after only a short while Ramon came back up. He explained that they were able to capture and interrogate the man but Hukif’s interrogation was too rough for Ramon to stay and watch. In the middle of his explanation Hukif followed up and said he got the guy to talk. I and the captain went down with him and saw that some fingers were cut off with steam coming from the ends. He explained that he actually tried eating some due to the rumors but they became steam in his mouth and nothing seemed to happen. Anything else cut off seemed to react the same way and even biting to eat a part would be cutting it off. I was surprised that most of the information he gave was just how much he tried to eat the guy, but I honestly should have seen it coming. I knew that it was spinal fluid that was essential to titans and walked up to the guy, and was stopped by the captain who asked if the man gave any information. It turns out the man only started naming accomplices but we could get more information out of him. I went over to the back of the guy’s neck and used super strength to bite all the way into it.

He was instantly killed, and I was instantly given all of the man’s memories along with knowledge of the titan I took. It was the warhammer titan. Both members went straight to attacking me, with one launching a cord at my face with their gear and the other instantly slicing at my neck with their sword. Since pain can activate a transformation, I instantly transformed to save myself from both deadly attacks. Through the man’s memories I could see that he already was told of us defeating all the titans in the forest, so he was too scared to transform against us. I formed the entire titan’s body, exploding the abandoned house and instantly crushing the team members that were still on the floor above us. The ones in the basement were able to escape from the home using their gear and already were swinging around me. I wanted to carry on the fight another time due to feeling that it was going to be morning soon and didn’t want to wake up in the middle of the fight. Since this titan form can keep the user’s human body in a crystal case out of the titan body, as a titan I picked my human body up and threw it over the wall and into the city. Landing and still in the crystal case, I transferred into another dream to end the competition dream right there.

1. 1. Hand And Pillar (LD)
I raise my right wrist to glance at my watch. It’s not
there and I see a slight tan line. That’s…strange… Nose
pinch. I’m lucid.
“I knew it”
I head toward a nearby table, put my arms up and float
up above in a prone position, and view a woman who’s
slightly heavy-set with darker skin in a seat to the left
as well as a woman to my right. I lower down onto the
table.
“Check this out guys - I’m going to levitate.”
I press myself up, yet quickly lower back down.
I press up again, yet once again quickly lower.
That’s… strange. I feel I’m getting distracted and set
my mind to honing in my awareness. I walk to my left
and wrap around a nearby gray pillar. I stick out my
hand and focus intently, raising my awareness. I begin
to head back to the table. I begin to float up, yet my
lucidity fades.

I was walking around near the road in the middle of the night. A car sped past me, missing me by a few feet. I remembered hearing about this guy that speeds and smokes weed or something, so I start running back to my house. I'm about to climb over my fence, I hear his car coming back around the block, I see his headlights.

[COLOR="#008000"]I am suddenly aware of myself falling out of my body and pooling on the floor like a liquid. I relax and let it happen, when I'm completely out I open my eyes. I can't remember that I'm in a competition or tell that my furniture arrangement is completely off, but I can see in a level of light where I normally can't. I walk past a chair and into my hall. I turn to the living room, something red and cylindrical catches my eye. It's a fire extinguisher, I plug my nose to make a thousand percent sure I'm in a dream cause I'm about to make one hell of a mess. I hold the can, It's weightless, and there's a black handle/spout like on a spray bottle. I pull the trigger and white foam shoots out and all over everything like elephant toothpaste but with more pressure. I empty the can, look around and feel glad my father's not here. I unscrew the spout and look inside. There is a small amount of liquid at the bottom which tastes like chocolate milk. [/COLOR]

I had a fairly lengthy dream that had me set back in elementary school. I was in my fourth grade class at night doing some kind of assignment.

...

This dream transitioned to one where I was with my friend K, but confined in a wheelchair or hover chair of some kind. I was heckin overweight.

-+-

I am on Mars' moon of Deimos. I just intuitively know this despite being inside of a windowless complex that seems to have artificial earthlike gravity. I am with a dream figure who reminds me of detective miller from the expanse and there are a bunch of corrupt security forces chasing us around the station. He fights them off and tells me to escape into this elevator and go to the top floor.

To get on the elevator I must go down this long hallway, maybe 15 meters with large sliding doors at either end. The hallways floor, walls and ceiling are paneled in white marble and marble columns run up along the side of the walls. There are marble busts and classical paintings set along this hallway. I rush down it and into the elevator which has a similar decorative style. The ceiling of the elevator which is even higher than the hallway leading up to it has a large fresco painting.

I get to thinking I am probably going to a floor on the station where there will be a huge mob of the corrupt riot cops waiting to kill or capture me. I see there. is a sort of robotic rolling suitcase in the elevator with me. It is black, made out of like a carbon fiber weave and has a little blister on top with what look to be cameras and operational equipment to allow it to roll around on its own. I hide behind it for cover if the crooked cops come in, not wanting to feel exposed. I am thinking about how I wish this was a lucid dream, because then I could fight all the guards, then do a nose pinch reality check to see if thats the case and become lucid.

Around the time I become lucid, the elevator chimes informing me it has reached the top level. The walls and ceiling then split apart and the walls and ceiling of the elevator unfold like a Chinese takeout box. I am in this massive cathedral-like space with more of the same classical style architecture. Above me is a huge glass domed ceiling through which I can see mars. There are city lights on the night side.

There is a sort of elevated balcony built up along one wall. I hear dream figures up there and decide to investigate. I can't find any stairs and if I could that would take too long. I decide to fly instead. Boosters on. I fly up, easily three or four stories. I waver a bit in the air but manage to land on the stone railing. Its an ornate bedroom setup openly overlooking the huge foyer type area. Two older men are sharing a bed together. They look at me flying and seem impressed, but not the type of impression you tend to get from lower level dream characters. I intuitively know they are members of that 'review committee', the one that I aggravated back around the turning of the new year.

One of the men gets out of bed. He looks like Jeff Goldbloom and he puts on a blue robe with white fluffy trim. The other guy looks kind of like jack black. He asks me to sit down with him and talk. I consider that this is a lucid dreaming competition and I should probably be focused more on dream control tasks but that this dream figure has something important to say and that I don't want to aggravate them anymore. I study my dream form for a bit, very standard this time around. I have some cute black and pink shorts though.

I sit down in a large recliner. Jeff Goldbloom DF dawdles around for a bit making a hot drink on some kind of futuristic keurig machine (he doesnt offer me one) and then shuffles around with a collection of vinyl records. He picks one and puts it down, starting the record player. It begins playing Mars the Bringer of War, I recognize it immediately even though I only hear the first 20 seconds or so. But then I lose lucidity and wake up.

Reminder that these dreams will have spoilers for attack on titan due to its theme. This lucid dream originally had me doing some 3D modeling in person like if I were using blender in VR. When I wanted to get into the Attack on titan pr for the competition, I summoned the walls out of the ground. Remembering that the last dream left off with returning to the walls, I allowed the rest of the pr to fade in almost like if it were painted at high speeds before my eyes. I saw the carriage I was supposed to be in, but I was being taken away quickly. I was then able to see that a titan had my in one hand and was running away from the carriage and walls. The titan noticed me looking up at its face but kept running without eating or hurting me. I would have attacked, but its grip kept me from being able to pull out the swords to fight back. I could have used super strength, but I was honestly interested in where they would take me.

I tried talking to the titan since it was clearly different from the others but it mostly ignored me. Since not much was going to happen with the titan not speaking up I sped time up until we reached the titan’s destination. We went into a forest with trees much taller than the titan, and it finally spoke. It was unhappy with what it had to do, but explained that we had to die after what we saw and did in the town. Our hurried leave alerted the townspeople into knowing we saw that something was wrong, and it turned out that the titans outside of the village were transformed people who were capable of keeping actual titans away from the village. I assumed this was one of the competition challengers who I saw in the bar, but the titan did not reveal their identity. Since my entire squad left quickly, they were targets as well. I was ready to attack as the titan started to put me down, but they tightened their grip the moment before letting me down. With that grip they were able to break a leg and explode the tank in the maneuver gear. With a broken leg and broken gear, there was no way to fight back or follow as the titan ran off to retrieve the rest of my squad.

In our conversation it was revealed that the in universe reason for me waking up on the way back was my dream self falling asleep due to drugs put into the feast. Since my character did not eat as much before leaving the feast, I ended up waking in world way earlier than the others. The titan was able to come back carrying the carriage which had the entire team still asleep. I was able to heal my leg and use control to repair the gear while the titan was away. I stayed on the ground to see what they would do, and the titan stood in front of me with the carriage. They have become hostages and the titan was using them to interrogate me. Since I refused to answer their questions they pulled out one of the squad members, the first being Hukif. I was about to use control to wake him up but right as I was about to, he already pulled out both swords and cut off the hand that was holding him. The titan screamed and covered their neck as he launched himself to their nape and was blocked. All the other members fell to the ground as the titan let go of the carriage and began to wake up from the impact.

I could feel the entire ground shaking as titans appeared in all directions, alerted by the speaking titan’s scream. The speaking titan ran into the forest and we were not able to catch up to them as there were too many titans in the way. Now with all team members awake, we were able to work together to defeat the titans coming after us. We mostly split up due to the sheer number of titans but there were times where we assisted each other in taking down titans through cutting and distracting them. Once all the titans were killed except the escaped speaking titan, the captain checked the amount of gas left in our tanks and the condition of our swords. Considering how spent we and our equipment were, it was not worth pursuing the titan or the town until another day. We had to walk back due to the carriage’s destruction and it became night during our walk.

Not being able to see each other so well did bring some anxiety over titans and animals attacking but also brought us to open up to each other more. Some of the team was on edge at my introduction because I came after two former team members were killed in battle, and I was seen as an inexperienced replacement for their dead friends. We were able to reach the gate this time and as we walked back through the city I was able to see the return of soldiers from a new perspective. We had to return to the office to return the gear, which would be delivered up to the barracks later on. We were dismissed for the day, but the captain told us we would need to return to the village for further investigation next time. We split up and as I was about to enter my home the vendor from the first dream spotted me and we went over to her house to catch up on things. I found out her name was Irene, and it was nice having a side to the pr that was simple village life apart from the fighting. It was while I was still at her home that my dream left the pr and I moved on with the night.
