lucid

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

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

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

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

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

Spellbee's Summer Lucid Competition 2016 - Entry 10

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

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

WBTB that unintentionally lasted for an hour and a half.


Dream 1 - WILD At Work

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

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

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

Dream 2 - Summer Lucid Competition - Day 10

A familiar dizzying sensation marks a successful WILD in bed.

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

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

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

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

Dream
Lucid
Sidenote/thoughts.


It was august 12th and I was going for the first day of school. I panicked because I didn’t do any of my work but I was confused as to why we were having school so early on (Dream Sign). I had memories going significantly back of what I had been doing but I did an RC anyway. I could push my finger through my other hand and as soon as I succeeded I lost my vision. I wandered around in the darkness until I found myself outside my house.

It was nighttime and daytime shifting at random times. I walked around for a bit before deciding to stabilize the dream. I rubbed my hands together but it just wasn't enough. I fell to the ground near some mulch and felt the wood texture that they were comprised of. The dream was already stable but I was happier after the experience because the dream was so realistic. I decided I wanted to do some dream control so I thought to myself, “Let me summon a ball of fire!”.
I tried to focus all of my energy through my arm in order to create a fireball but it didn’t quite work. I decided to steal the light of various objects instead and eventually created a ball that looked like the moon several times bigger than me. It acted like a very thinly layered balloon made of lead, but it had hydrogen inside it. (This may have gotten inspiration from Full-metal alchemist, which at one point a guy summons a massive ball made of hydrogen and paper.)

It didn't float up and instead it was oddly bouncy. I thought that if it hit the ground hard enough it would explode into fire, but it just kept bouncing over and over and I got sick of waiting. At one point it almost bounced on top of me and I was scared I would be exploded into fire, but it just bounced off my head . I thought “Ignite!”, and then near the ground the ball ignited causing a pretty large fiery explosive. It wasn’t quite what I wanted by fireball, but nonetheless it WAS a fireball in some form or another. I went near the hot tub by my house (It was in the same spot that mine is IWL as well) and I decided I wanted to fly onto my roof. I kept trying but I was only able to jump higher then normal. I thought “Wow, that’s annoying I’m literally in a world made up only of my imagination in every way possible, it should be easy to fly!” (This was also weird because I’ve flown before, but this is definitely one of best lucid dreams.)

I got pretty angry and gave up the attempt because I felt the dream starting to fade. It was nighttime again and it started raining except all of the raindrops fell in these lines over and over so it looked pretty fake. I thought about how my subconscious was too lazy to actually simulate realistic rain. I felt the grass and it was a bit vague, but I could feel it was plant-like and wet, which was good enough for me. I decided to focus on the rain to see if it would help ground me but it didn’t help too much. I remembered that I should keep doing RC checks throughout a dream and I really wanted to see if I could breath with my nose pinched. I tried it and crazily I could do it effortlessly. I could breath so easily I was convinced that I didn’t ACTUALLY pinch my nose, but I definitely was.

I felt more lucid and the dream was a bit more stable so I decided to go back to trying to fly. A voice in my head said “Just imagine yourself doing it and you’ll do it, it’s not that hard.” It definitely was not myself but no nearby dream characters were around. (I’ve never met my dream guide, but perhaps something like it told me telepathically.) I decided to follow it’s advice and I was able to fly up onto my roof and climb onto it, but not actually able to fly past that. It definitely was flying though, not just jumping so I felt happy at that. I wondered into my backyard where there was a pool and I heard splashing. I quickly looked away and said out loud “Fictional character one, and Fictional character two, please come out of the pool.” (For personal reasons I’m replacing the names of the characters.). They both proceeded to exit the pool and I went up to greet them. I was surprised to see that not only had I succeeded in summoning them, but instead of being animated they both looked like the equivalent as a real human being. (Both of these characters would normally been seen as animated).

They were both younger than I wanted though and they were extremely excited to see me and kept acting like kids. One of them started becoming even younger until they appeared to only be three or four. (As opposed to before where both of them seemed to be about eleven, or twelve.) I was annoying so I started outstretching my arms thinking of trying to age them back and it started working very very slowly. I got them to about seven before I got annoyed and gave up. (Then some other things happened that I don’t remember.) and I woke up. I decided against DEILD, because my dream recall is usually pretty bad and I imagined it would be a miracle I would already remember most of this dream. (Miraculously I did except for the last minute of it).

Please correct me if I made any mistakes on the point counting.

I only remember 2 little things:

» I'm talking to someone in Indonesian and am pretty content with my language skills.

» I've become lucid through pushing my finger through my palm. I have a single thought that disrupts my stability, though I don't remember what it is. Or perhaps I tried to move on without properly stabilising first. I start to panic and frantically move my finger around in the palm of my hand to stabilise myself.

Basic task 2
Advanced task 1


Back in bed after a WBTB, I got to induce a lucid via DEILD. Or at least what I thought was a DEILD... Turns out I never actually woke up. I had a massive false awakening in which the TV was turned on in my room and everything; the trippiest FA I've had in a while. After the "TV" woke me up (everything being a hallucination), I decided to induce a lucid via focusing in the hypnagogic imagery.

A funny thing that happened is that, while I was trying to detach OBE style, I slowly rolled out of bed and fell. Again, just a hallucination. But, while in that state, I wasn't sure if I actually fell or not. Either way, I eventually completely detached and didn't think too much about anything except the tasks that I was set out to do.

"Out of body" in my grandma’s house, and before going outside to do the tasks, I jumped around and did stupid things like a child for a little bit as the euphoria that comes with being lucid poured over me.

After calming myself down, I went out looking for a dream character, hoping to find a female one (here it goes). It was dark out, as in early morning. Surprisingly fast, I saw the faint shape of a female dream character by the neighbor's house. All I could see was that she was tall and had dark hair. As I approached her, I willingly tried to make her shape appear "hotter."

When I was close enough, as to see her clearly, I notice that she is girl a I used to know from high school. That was completely random, as I didn't even think about her (or any specific girl for that matter). But she was indeed good looking, so I permitted my libido to take over for a few seconds while maintaining a high level of awareness, as to not let blind desire completely consume me and to loose my lucidity as a result.

When that was taken care of, I asked the girl to be my assistant for todays task and she kindly agreed without using any words (at least of the Verbal kind). I asked another dream character that was in sight where I could find a microscope and she pointed to a specific house close by.

I was hoping for the house to be an awesome crazy scientist's place but it wasn't and there weren’t any microscopes to be seen. I really wanted to complete the task so I acquired a bunch of junk (including an empty glass of water, Energizer batteries, and a magnifying glass), jumbled them up together in my hands, really hoping to magically create the microscope.

A part of me doubted my success, but I did it! I created a weird looking little microscope. Maybe the female DC beside me increased my performance. Anyway, I looked through the microscope to see something already in close up. It was something similar to what I saw in my BIOL class (chloroplasts). I decided to keep zooming in, not touching anything in the microscope, just using my will.

I zoomed in and in and in, until I found myself looking at what I can only describe as a "dance of energy." A bunch of floating, dancing and hypnotizing atoms, or quarks. Whatever it was that I was seeing, it was very colorful.

I wanted to show this thing to my DC assistant, but before I knew it, I lost myself in the now almost psychedelic "dance of energy" and off I went into non-lucidity (until I woke up, not long afterwards).

1. I'm walking around to the front yard of the house in M Street. I'm explaining the previous events of the dream to a DC named alex as we wind around to the driveway. I then tell him about all the different types of things you can do in an LD. As I'm talking to him, I start levitating upward. I tell him this is exactly what would happen in a lucid dream. I do a finger pull and feel some pressure on my index. It feels a bit strange, so I noseplug and become lucid. I continue to raise as I look toward the roof and continue talking to the DC, asking him "Dream Alex, why didn't you tell me I was dreaming?" He doesn't respond, so I ask him again. As I continue to fly upward, I get an image in my mind's eye of the DC quickly running away as if to be found out for not informing me of the dream. I fly high above the roof, but feel as though I am gradually waking up. I realize I may be simply imagining it, so I try to ground myself back into the dream as I enter a strange version of the void which has a dream senses blended with feelings of returning to a physical body that I am partially aware of. I continue trying to meditate back into the dream state.

2. I find myself in an upstairs bathroom on M Street facing the wall. My hand comes out in front of me and something feels strange. I do a noseplug and become lucid. I head over to the mirror and see an accurate reflection of myself without a shirt. It's a bit blurry so I continue to demand of the dream "Dream Clarity, Dream Focus!" The image sharpens up a bit, so I decide to head out of the bathroom and down the hallway. I start talking to the awareness behind the dream and tell it "Subconscious, I'm giving you the power to make this dream last an hour" I continue walking for a bit repeating this phrase but vibrate back to my body, and go for a DEILD. I come close to entering back into an LD a few times through my 'sinking'vibrating' technique, but my mind grounds back too much into WL.

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

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



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


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

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

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

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

Competition Notes-Teal

I took galantamine again. I meant to take 4mg this time but I took 8mg before on accident. I also took 600mg of Alpha GPC. This time I ate it with scrambled eggs during a 45 minute WBTB. I planned on practicing WILD and getting a feel for how it works for me. Even with galantamine it took me probably an hour before I started dreaming. Every time a dream started to form before that I would react to soon and wake myself up but I got better with each try. Each segment was only 5 minutes or so max but there were a ton of them over the period of another hour. I'm sure I forgot some of them or got the order wrong on others but I think I remember most of it.

WILD practice (WILD)

I am in my room in my hometown for a split second and try to move. I wake up but the visuals are still there but as if I was looking through blinds. It is also blinking on and off. I can even turn my head to look around but it fades away.

I am a paratrooper in a scifi setting. I have a minigun and use it to take out vehicle targets 4 and 5 before landing on a overturned car. I am in a wartorn battlefield I try and grab onto something and stabilize but wake up.

I am walking up to the sink in my kitchen and turn the faucet on. It makes no noise. I try and grab onto the faucet and the counter and the dream does a datamosh kind of smear on the back of my eyelids.


I am still in bed but feel I can start to move my dream body. I try and roll out of bed but wake up. I stretch and get in a more comfortable position and know that I am suppose to be only a passive observer until the dream fully forms. I naturally react way to strongly when trying to WILD so I try and keep my consciousness a tiny sliver in the next attempts.

I am standing in my bedroom. The room is larger and my roommates bed is replaced by a long shelf under the window. The window is longer too and has much nicer blinds. The apartment is like this for the rest of the dream. I don't move much and pay attention to the details on the shelf to stabilize. I leave my apartment to get some fresh air and more space. It is dark out but there are lights. I leave my complex and go down the street to where there are a lot more street lights. I find a nice spot and try to summon Juliana but wake up.

I am a passive observer of a single mom driving her three kids. A teenage girl, a young boy and a toddler girl. They seem stressed. I feel like I have seen this scene before durring a different dream.

I am in my apartment and wake up before I can do anything.

I am a middle aged man. He looks like and has a similar personality to the protagonist of Children of Men. He gets fired from his job.

I am in my apartment and the sun it up this time. I phase through the window and screen and land outside. The cement is extremely hot and I realize I don't have shoes on. I have to fly between patches of grass because it hurts so bad. The layout of the neighborhood is different too. DCs are staring at me and I wake up.

I am a passive observer to two cooks in a small Italian restaurant. One is the man before and the other is a sleazy man teaching him how to make ravioli. He says you have to cook it until it gets all mushy. The Children of Men guy says he knows how to cook and that isn't how. He is about to explain how to actually tell but the other guy cuts him off and says,"Look that is just the easiest way so just do it." The single mom and her kids from before come into the restaurant and order 3 servings of lasagna to go. I have a body at this point and even am wearing the same uniform as the cooks but no one can see me. They get their food and leave. The two cooks go back to the training for a while and the mom and teenage daughter come back. The mom says she ordered spinage lasagna, not cheese. The sleazy guy says they are out of spinach. The mom says "My kid is lactose intolerant. What am I suppose to feed him?" The sleezy guy says he can give them a free pizookie for their inconvenience. The Children of Men guy cuts in and says ,"We have some spinich ravioli we can give you that for free." The sleazy guy grumbles something and says,"Ya let us go prepare it." While they do so the teenager asks the Children of Men guy if they are hiring. He says she doesn't wan't to work here and asks if she plans on going to college. She says "yes" and he says,"Good then there is a chance you won't end up here some day like me."

I am in my room and stable and there is plenty of light. I stick my hand back and I feel an hand take hold. It is a woman but not my dream guide and she has another large woman linking arms with her. I say to get out of here and wave my arms at them. I turn around and when I look back they disappeared. I try again and feel a hand but no one is there and wake up.

I am laying in bed and try nose plugging and it is a dream despite being 100% indistinguishable from actually waking up. I didn't try this earlier because if I was mistaken I would have to start all over but at this point I know I will have FAs for a while. I get out of bed and open the blinds. These are very nice blinds I think. My real ones are falling apart. I wake up.

And nose plug again. Yep, it's an FA. i get out of bed and stick my hand back and feel an hand grab mine. I say, "Hi" without a response. I look back and say,"Juliana?" and it's her smiling but she doesn't say anything. I say, "I wan't you to give me my first magic lesson." She says, "You need to read these first." And points at the ground. I look down to see a pile of books. When I look back up she is gone. This makes me pretty frustrated and I yell, "Juliana, you get back here right this instant! I wan't you to teleport right in front of me. Right here." I point at the floor. "Right here!" I realize that is futile and she might have a point so I take a look at the pile of books. Some of them I recognize. Robert Bruce's Mastering Astral Projection in 90 days and an abridged version of Journey to the West I have read. The rest seem to be religious texts in Japanese and Sanskrit. What am I suppose to do with this? I take a look at one of the Japanese books. It is a translation actually but not a very good one. It has a picture of a mountain in the background and a river in the forground with the words relaxation, peace, and meditation on it. As I contemplate the meaning of all of this I wake up.

I am in another FA I do another nose plug RC and confirm I am still dreaming but I am also still frustrated. I fly out of my appartment and find a public pool with a bunch of DCs swimming in it. I do what ever I want to who ever I wan't and they enjoy it. If they don't enjoy it I mind control them so they do. I feel like I have released all that frustration and walk to leave the pool. I don't even care that my feet are burning! I see a hot DC tanning and then feel I have a bit more frustration to get rid of.

I have more chains after this but I think I do less and less and end up just laying in bed in the FAs after a while. I find myself in a state of neither awake nor asleep and decide what to do next. I run through the memories in my head a bit to get them straight and then rest for a bit before I get up to write it all down.


So I understand why I need to read Robert Bruce's book. His section on energy stimulation is really good and can be applied to dream control. I used to be good at it but now I can barely even feel energy in my fingers. Journey to the West is a stretch but Sun Wukong has a lot of different clever powers I can study and he is a monkey so there's that. I have a copy in my drawer so that is probably why Juliana picked it. The sanskrit books are probably the vedas. I think there are a few sections relating to magic so I will look into that. I have no idea about the Japanese ones but I feel it was probably some sort of zen or shinto book. If anyone has any suggestions for that I would be very happy.

I will do some reading and meditation before I summon Juliana again. In the mean time I will try to summon some DV members to get some competition points.

Spellbee's Summer Lucid Competition 2016 - Entry 9

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

Dream 1 - Teal Instinct Dude

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

The dream ends shortly afterwards.

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


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

This will be my first day of actually having my house cool! The A/C was repaired & hopefully my lucids are making a comeback.

D1: Non-lucid to partial lucid- Another competition dream. Then did a wbtb at 5:45.

D2: Non-lucid- I was touring on a bus. Many people were getting fired at the place we ended up in. It was an auditorium. I started to think I was dreaming when I realized we were touring but what kind of tour was this. Everyone just kept doing this. I asked other people what kind of tour this was. We had no instruments. So this is a partial lucid.


Non-Lucid-Green
Lucid-Red
Side Notes-Purple
Competition Notes-Teal

Note to self: Make a point of getting out of bed durring WBTB. Otherwise you won't become awake enough to get a lucid and may even fall asleep before journaling your dreams.

Chicagoland Gangster (MILD)

I am helping my dad put up the Christmas lights at night. I notice the neighbor is putting his up too but he is trying to do it as fast as possible. He has 6 ladders so he doesn't have to keep moving them. I say he should be careful but he doesn't set up a ladder right and falls off and the whole house falls over with him. I run over and ask if he is okay. He moans in pain. I ask where it hurts and he hold out his arm. I tell him to move his fingers and he can so I feel his arm for breaks. I can't find any but he winces when I touch his shoulder. I tell him he may have gotten away with just bruises but he is very lucky.

I go back to the house and realize it is my sister's house in the suburbs south of Chicago. There is a bunch of family over for Christmas I guess and my nieces and nephews are running around. I go to eat some food but their dog runs up to get my attention and sits in my food. My brother laughs and I throw away the food. The kids run outside and I follow to see what they are up to. I loose them and start to fly to follow them without actually becoming lucid. I see there are many DCs loitering around and I ask them what they are doing out at night. "The weather is so nice." They explain. "Ya, I guess because I'm from California I am used to clear skies." Wait, that doesn't explain why they are out at night. I fly up higher and see the city before me but it looks like a fanciful city with castles and sci fi parts and shiny blue buildings. There are different districts with different styles. It reminds me sort of Disneyland and also some of the Lego sets from the 90s.

I land in a busy intersection closer to the city and become fully lucid spontaneously. I do a nose plug RC and my nose feels a bit stuff but it still works. I look around and before I can remember my goals I see a DC that stands out. He wears a grey suit over a white shirt and tie. His arms aren't in the sleeves the jacket is just hung over his shoulders. He also has a tan fedora on. His arm is around a blond woman and he is pointing something out to her. I remember I am suppose to be finding a gangster who stole something from a rich DC. "Hey you!" I should while floating in the intersection. He doesn't notice. "Hey you! I know you are a gangster!" That gets his attention. He makes an intimidating face while he looks around but when he actually spots me floating above him he looks scared and runs, leaving the woman behind confused. I give chase and easily keep up by flying. He has a pistol and shoots back at me while running. I use telekinesis to slow down the bullets and nudge them to the side. He throws the pistol to the side turns around. He drops the jacket from his shoulders revealing tommy machine gun! He unloads on me in full auto. I don't have time to slow down the bullets so must deflect the entire stream which is much more difficult. I have to strafe to the side in the air and start to bend the stream of bullets even harder. I have an idea and curve the bullets into a u shape back towards the gangster. The bullets hit the ground behind him and I refine my aim until it hits him. He drops down to one knee and I think it's over but he starts shooting once again. I can't hold his aim for ever so I remember my plan for just this situation. I reach out my other hand and use telekinesis with that hand to grab the barrel of the gun and bend it upwards. The gun explodes in his face and he is flung backwards.

I touch down and the dream starts to destabilize while I walk toward the body. I touch some fence but the body is still blurry. I get to the body and focus on the details and restabilize. I see that it is a woman who has been hit in the cross fire. I think to call the police but realize she is already dead. I promise myself never to let DCs get hurt on my missions again. I turn back and find the gangsters body a few feet away. I feel around his clothes and to try and find his pocket. I notice he is only shot once in the chest and he is probably going to survive. I find his pocket and pull out a ziplock back. Inside there is a clear bag of crystals and two black fabric bags. I take out one of the black bags and look inside. It is filled to the brim with diamonds! I put the bags back in my pocket and realize I didn't have a plan for what to do next and feel like I have plenty of dream time left. I consider having sex to reward myself and fly away to take another look at the city. The different districts are layed out the same as they were before and I wonder if I can visit it again. I also see a district that looks like Edo Japan and a Colosseum with a horse race track next to it. I consider summoning Juliana but decide to do that next time. I see a roller coaster with a lot of DCs in line so I go down there to explore. The line goes through an under ground structure and I go in. I realize I have to pee and find the mens bathroom. I am about to go but realize it's a really bad idea to pee in a dream. I go back outside and see a woman in skimpy athletic clothing talking to another DC. I strike up a conversation with them and they say there is a full gym in this complex as well as a lot of other attractions. The girl invites me to work out with her and I accept. She is more interesting to talk to than have sex with anyways. She asks "What should I work on today. What about my legs?" puts her foot up on the wall. I say,"To be honest those are the nicest legs I have ever seen." She says,"Oh thanks. It's probably because I do karate." and she ties her shoes. I start to loose lucidity as I walk with her to the gym and we talk about karate. She says she does a form of french karate that I have never heard of. I wonder if I have heard of that before and wake up.

I'm Not Your Dream Guide! (MILD)

I find myself in a street in Chicago. Real Chicago this time. I feel like I am in a canyon because the buildings are all so tall. There is one hill where the road is extremly steep. I slide down it on my knees and feel that I can sort of float. I become lucid and fly down to the street corner. There is a movie theater and I go under the overhang of the box office to get into the shade. I stick my hands back and feel a hand grab it. I pull the person forward but they are invisible even though I can feel them. I let go and try again, this time with both hands. It is more vivid this time and I pull them forward so they are hugging me from behind. I notice they are shorter than me and don't really feel like my dream guide but I pretend not to notice. "Juliana?" I ask and look behind me. It is a girl with black hair in a bun, a black top, and a white skirt with pokadots. They actully look more like Mila Kunis than Juliana but for some reason I just pretend they are Juliana. I ask here where her hat is and she says,"What hat?" I see a hat stuck in the rafters and think it must have blown off in the summoning. I tell her to use magic to get it down but she says she can't. I fly up and put it on her head. It is a white witches hat with a spiraling piece of metal supporting the point. She says,"I don't wan't to wear a hat!". I reply,"But it is a cute outfit." and she say, "But it is to humid for a hat!" and throws it on the ground. This doesn't really seem like my dream guide but I say she should teach me some magic. She says she doesn't know what I'm talking about and I say,"But your my dream guide." and she says,"I'm not your dream guide!"

A group of DCs walks up to go into the theater and one of them is my friend. I high five him but he gets pulled inside by the other DCs. He stops at the door to ask,"Hey, are we still going to go to vegas later this month?" and I say, "Ya, I'll message you." I turn back to the girl and wonder why she is being a bitch and wake up. It is only after waking up that it wasn't Juliana and I sort of messed up. haha Next time I will make sure to summon someone who is a bit taller than me so I don't doubt whether it is her and have it turn into someone else.

8/2/16: Shadowman

I remember being in a room, like my room IRL but a tiny bit bigger and had pink walls with a Japanese like design.I had a show on the television, funny because I had the tv show going irl before I went to bed. I was trying to sleep so I can Lucid Dream. I remember doing RC's, I believe I went Lucid but must've lost it from something in the room.
Suddenly, I was outside there was snow on the ground, I was outside of my previous house I used to live at. My cat Rupert was on top of a Tree Branch, my Father was standing next to me. Across the street there was a shadow figure, it had a weird look in it's eyes. At this point I am Lucid but I lose my lucidity as the dream scene changes.

8/4/16: Pokemon GO

I was playing Pokemon Go, I bought Pokeballs, kept messing this pokemon and it kept breaking out of the Pokeball. So I had to buy more Pokeballs, I believe the Pokemon was the Ninetails.

8/5/16: Intruder Nightmare

Had a dream, it was nighttime. Me, my brother Alex and, my sister Demera is in the living room. I forgot most of the dream well anyways, I walk into the kitchen when all of the sudden "bam bam bam" on the front door, really loud. My sister says "wtf" then a blood curdling cry. I'm guessing someone broke in. So I goto the bathroom and lock the door. Why am I such a scaredy cat in Sleep Land?
In real life I have one older brother Alex, and two older sisters Cassie and Demera. I have three cats, Twiggy (male), Rupert (male) and, Nellie (female).

8/6/16: Erotic Dream

Too Erotic for this website(?), lmao.

See you tomorrow for DJ Entry #3 (maybe)

Spellbee's Summer Lucid Competition 2016 - Entry 8

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

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

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

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

Dream 1 - Top Gear - Armored Edition

A familiar sensation marked a successful WILD.

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

The dream faded and ended in about two minutes.

Dream 2 - Magical Dwarven Studies

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

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

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

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

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

Not sure what else happened until the dream ended.

I went to sleep around 12 am last night and managed to complete tasks but forgot about doing personal goals because...I really wanted to do the other tasks more.


Second Dream(So Random)

I was in my room with my younger brother showing him how I played the "light" song from Zelda on the keyboard. But when I stopped I found out my mom was going to be sleeping in my room. I left to go use the bathroom after that and than my dad shouted cause my cousin dropped ice on the floor. After that I recall going to another room and finding out that there were three mice present. I woke up my dad and he got up to get rid of them for me. But than a home renovator guy came saying it couldn't be fixed the old fashioned way. We were than extorted to a dance class with a famous teenage singer who was supposedly hated and snobby. In the ending of this dream I was at a interior pokemon arena with a pond and was told to use my huge turtle in a pokemon fight. There was a guy there who asked me how my drawing was going too.


Third Dream

It was the afternoon and I was walking outside with my mom to a thrift store but when we arrived on the block we saw a huge line. We walked behind a guy on the line and now it felt like we were waiting to go inside a fast food restaurant like Mc Donalds. After waiting for a bit I observed the line closer and saw that there was a huge gap in the middle of the line. The line we were standing on didn't seem like it was for the fast food restaurant anymore but a food kart that was to the left of the restaurant. After a guy left the line my mom decided to leave and I just followed her. After following her we came across a fruit cart where a man was selling what was supposed to be papaya except it looked like a watermelon.

My mom bought one and told me to taste it. I tried it and was pleased with it because it tasted like pure melon instead of watermelon. After walking a bit I stumbled upon some kids who were eating the fruit as well. They were friendly and offered me some more later for free if I stayed for a while. I decided to stay and while I was there they started talking about a library that was a great hang out spot. The library appeared in my view and looked like it was made out of a shiny stone material and was huge, with columns inside it holding up the balcony. The girl kept talking about it until I found myself in a room with the kids.

I was laying on a bed getting ready to fall asleep but couldn't because of all the talking. Eventually they all left and I had the room to myself. I closed my eyes but felt there was something odd about the place. There was a almost human sized white doll present with pale blue eyes looking at me. I pretended I was going to sleep for a bit than looked at it and saw that she ended up moving. "I knew it!" I shouted than pushed the doll back calling my brother. But when I got up and out of the room another one appeared in the hall and I came to a realization that it was a dream.

I than yanked the leg off of the doll and hit it with it's own leg and ran upstairs than outside of the house excited to do the tasks that I really wanted to do. At first it was like gravity was kind of slow but I continued to push forward until I reached the sidewalk." Okay, first things first. Summon something" I said to myself as I ran with my hands in front of me. Objects appeared like a blue wig but it wasn't what I wanted.I than decided to do it the other way and thought of summoning Luigi behind me. I thought of him while running than looked behind me and saw a life like Luigi wearing a light blue t shirt,navy color pants and hat with a mail carrier's bag running next to the houses.

He shouted in his Italian voice that he was going to get me. I didn't think much of it though and thought of my next task which would be flying. I thought about flying above a street and slowly the scene began to change into a wide busy street with cars and a truck. I flew up than at a fast speed backwards to get the flying task done at an advanced level. When I stopped flying so fast I noticed Eye was around with a group of dream characters. But I wasn't going to let him distract me so I went to the next task which was to lift something heavy with my mind or Telekinesis. I put my hand in front of me and lifted a bunch of gray colored cars into the air than put them back down gently.

But when I did I noticed the truck was traveling at a fast speed. I flew fast again so I wouldn't get hit by the truck. "Eye help me!"I called out to him.However, the truck quickly reached the tip of my foot. "Forget it! I'll just use this truck as my strength task!" I shouted than punched it with one hand and it went flying into the air until it disappeared. "Woah! Didn't know you had that in you." Eye said surprised after flying up close to me."Yeah...that's cause I never wanted to do it" I said feeling happy I got that done.(Eye also said something about how Dawn would be proud to see me do what I did.) After that Eye flew somewhere and I followed him. We ended up in my house again where a few dream characters were sitting on a floor near a room and looking at a piece of paper.

I didn't know what to do next and decided to just read whatever they had on the small white paper for a task. I looked at the paper after sitting down and saw a pencil drawing of a anime school girl with short pigtails sitting down on her knees. There were sentences on the paper too.Eye sat next to me and I began reading until music came up.The sentences didn't make much sense, especially since the words changed place a lot but even though the words did that they looked clear when I read it.Since there was music I decided to do the hobby task and sing what was on the paper since singing is a hobby of mine too. This is how the lyrics were " Somewhere~ There's a girl. Waiting~ Eat leisurely~" and as I kept singing I sounded really bad.

Eye looked like he was annoyed by my singing but stayed near me. "I don't care if I sang it bad, its fun" I said than took a closer look at the words but than it started to blur.I got up than noticed there were cartoon animal dcs now.They began singing what was on the paper and I just joined in thinking we were doing this for an actual recording. I was more of their back up vocals though. When they stopped we laughed and than I saw my younger brother near the kitchen. I walked up to him and asked him about the paper. He said he doesn't always do things without my input and does take me into consideration. Than I looked at the paper and thought about taking my pen back. After that I woke up.

August 6, 2016: I am one of many people in a large open field. Scott and many of his friends such as Costa, Brandan, Kelly are there. I recognize them from his wedding and invitations to their homes to celebrate various events in their lives such as baby showers and house warming parties, but I don't know/remember many of their names, even in real life. In front of me is a sandy patch of soil. For some inexplicable reason I decide to jump onto that particular patch of soil. I am launched softly into the air and immediately go lucid.

The view from above the crowd is SUCH a unique perspective and highly detailed. I think to myself it's remarkable how few people even notice me in the air because of the infrequency with which people tend to look up. Yet here I am marveling at the idea that I can look down upon them and see them all and every detail of their heads, hair, hats and clothing. I circle the field and the crowd below several times inspecting the grounds, their clothes and taking in other details of the meadow scene from a stable altitude of about 100 feet. I spot Scott and his friends (all guys) towards the periphery of the crowd and gracefully descend, making a rather skilled landing. For some reason I rarely have trouble flying or landing. I am completely aware that this is a dream. I pick out one of his friends (Costa) and start patting him playfully about the waist, practically dancing with joy at being lucid in their company. I ask Costa “what does it feel like to be a dream character?” He responds cryptically by saying “how does a piece of meat feel about being a piece of meat?”

I start explaining to the group that this is a dream and I am dreaming. I tell them I don't want to think about it too hard because I'm afraid I'm going to wake up - but I'm asleep in my bed or taking a nap somewhere in my house and I can do anything I want without consequence..so let's find me a girl. This declaration is met with a substantial amount of hilarity from this younger group of men, and we collectively break into a trot and begin to gradually spread out in an effort to reach the objective of finding me a woman with whom to have sex.

I myself, in my search, enter someone's (strange to me) home cautiously through a screen door. I enter in the "conventional way" not by phasing, which didn't even occur to me to try. Inside I encounter my wife's entire family - sister-in-law, brother-in-law, late father-in-law and mother-in-law. Although I don't see them, I suspect my two nephews are somewhere in the house as well. I realize straight away that's the last place I want to meet a woman and have sex is in the home occupied by my wife's entire family!!! On the way out, I noticed that the sliding latch to secure the screen door has been installed on the same side as the hinges. I laugh to myself that their "Dream House" isn't so perfect after all.

Shortly after stepping back outside I realize that I am mostly alone. The crowd in the field is gone and Scott and his friends have dispersed. There is little to focus on and I wake. The time is 5:53am, a mere seven minutes before my alarm was set to go off. Whew!
