lucid

I was walking into town. (Evening, judging by the position of the sun) I remember meeting this girl from my high school who was being annoying so I jaywalked into the middle of the street when she wasn't looking to get away from her. I walked to the Taekwondo studio and had my taekwondo outfit on.

I was told that there were three new students starting and I had to teach them all the basics of how to do good in class. I remember there were three or four boys who all looked the same but at different ages, as they got older they got taller and their hair got darker. The youngest of the four had blonde hair and looked about 10. The oldest looked about 20 and had black hair and a slight mustache. I started teaching them something and they changed into Cafe's guides.

I then remember my high school crush walked in and she was a black belt. She started saying that I was doing all the class all wrong. My taekwondo master came out of his office and said that he didn't know who she was and that she couldn't just expect to walk into the studio and start telling me how to lead class. I said something about her being annoying.

The next thing I knew she took out this weird gas mask thing and put it on her face with a really long filter tube reaching about knee level. (It looked like a vaccum hose) She started spinning it around like a helicopter and asked if it was annoying.

Also my retainer started bothering me at 4:00am so I had to take it out and went pee while I was at. I suppose that counts as a WBTB, though I didn't try any practice...

I was being chased by someone. I hid in this store where this guy sold guns. But I didn't have a license to buy a gun so instead he sold me this crossbow type weapon that shot these little darts so that I could defend myself. I think I remember buying 22 of the little darts, then practicing. For some reason the guy said he would sell me three bismuth crystals for half price (what is up with all the bismuth crystals in my dreams these past few days...)

I think it was somehow related to a dream fragment that I had in a previous night. (Night 2 of hte comp) where the crystals I needed were specific and I needed to slot them into some kind of alien device. I remember he sold the crystals in 3 categories. Cheap, Normal and Superb. Crystals from all three sizes were about the same size. (Usually about as big as the palm of my hand) I bought two of the cheap ones and one of the normal one.

The total that I had to pay for all this. The weird dart shooting crossbow and the crystals was 30 dollars and 13 cents.

I remember I was dreaming that I was walking in my neighborhood. I randomly got lucid when I got to the front of the neighborhood. I think there was a small boy in a wagon talking about building a tree fort and something to do with a monster that lived in the woods but I ignored him.

I remember thinking that I should try and walk all the way to the middle school without forgetting that I'm lucid dreaming. Yesterday I had been meditating on how clear the dream world could get. I did some stabilization by running my hand across the wooden rail of the boardwalk. I focused on leaves in the trees. (The forest that is along this path seemed thinner than normal) I think there might have been giant mushrooms or a giant bismuth crystal.

I kept walking and saw a lady walking with her two headed dog. The dog had a white head and a black head. She said I hi and I said 'Hi' back. I remember I started thinking about the state of my reality. I asked myself "What is a lucid dream?" to which seemingly a separate part of me replied. "In order to understand what a lucid dream is, you must define what a dream is first. A dream is a sequence of subconscious thoughts we undergo while sleeping. These thoughts manifest themselves as sensory stimulation in a way that is roughly congruent with the laws of reality. A lucid dream is simply a sequence of thoughts where the conscious mind becomes active and aware of the true state of this faulty reality and is able to interface with the subconscious mind modifying the reciprocated sensory manifestation of the subconscious thoughts to better suit the dreamer."

I kept walking. I did some more stabilizations and reality checks. I remember pinching my nose for a really long time and breathing through it. I said to myself "If I can ever do this easily, then it means that I'm dreaming." I got to the cross in the paths (almost to the middle school.) and saw my crush again, jogging. She asked me why I wasn't jogging. I stopped her and said something like. "I got over you years ago, you need to leave my dreams." and she jogged off. I remember thinking that my reason for being here wasn't to complete competition goals but to get better at lucid dreaming, and by being in the slow meditative state of walking the trail around my neighborhood I was practicing being in that state for an extended period of time and being focused on it. I remember thinking that I was 'honing my craft', and got stuck rolling the phrase over and over in my head.

I then decided I wanted to summon Manei into the dream. I used the summoning command and walked around the corner into the parking lot of the middle school. (Illogically.) I walked into a parking lot and saw a bunch of people sitting in parked cars and walking around with their cell phones out playing pokemon go. It was supposed to be a representation of the lucid dreaming competition since it was pokemon go themed. I looked around for her but didn't see anybody. A guy walked into me because he was distracted trying to catch pokemon. I took it as impromptu stabilization.

I saw a black camaro looking car that reminded me of the one Manei used to drive but there was a police car next to it with their sirens on. When I went over I saw it was not Manei, but this random guy with short black hair. I remember asking him if he was Manei and he said no. I left and went inside the middle school looking for her, attempting summoning behind doors. I remember I saw someone drive a minivan down the hallway of the school and they stopped next to me. Two women got out. One of them was my grandmother, and the other an original character of mine. The OC woman got a very young version of my dream self out of the back car seat. He looked about 3 and was wearing a black shirt and gray shorts. I got confused and lost the lucid dream.

-+-

I was trying to Earthbend. Normally aged dream self was sitting in lotus position in the woods by a river wearing what looked like a very torn and faded version of my taekwondo uniform (somehow connected to the first dream). I think the sleeves had been torn off. There was a worn wooden plank in front of him with a huge blob of gray clay. He/I would strike the clay repeatedly with his hands in various ways with his hands for a while before the blob became unrecognizable. He would then pat it back together into a smooth blob and repeat.

Tonight i slept not too good because of some worries i have. i tried to suppress as good as possible and deal with it today but nevertheless negative thoughts came up now and then... my recall is totally fragmented and the lucid i induced was tensed. i felt like having not my potential dreamcontrol/powers and felt rushed somehow....

7 fragments + 1 lucid

i lay on my back, tense my bodyparts and then relax them i shortly go thru my goals but i cant concentrate and my head feels restless. i doing some deep breaths and start with SSILD cycles. i notice how slowly my head calms down and i get in the right mood. i sometimes do a little imaginary tactile movements to see if it feels like a WILD but nope. my body is deeply relaxed but i feel to aware for a wild so i turn on my side and do look at my closed eyelids.
laying around on my back, the TV is on i suddenly think "wait what if i already am dreaming?" i do a nosepinch and am lucid [i have no TV in my room, i nearly dont watch TV at all]. i stand up and i am naked. i try to will the TV out because the babble of the TV bothers me but i cant just will it off. i try to imagine having a remote in my hand but it wont work. i try a short behind my back summon but i am too restless for this. i decide to ignore the TV (there is no picture just the voice). i remember my tasks and try to summon FryingMan but again not calm enough... i go to my desk and see a candle. i hold it upside down and do a hand gesture with my right hand like it is as lighter and my thumb is the flame. i see no flame but i ignore that and hold it under the candle. at the beginning nothing happens but i turn it around and look. the candle is brighter in the middle and some moments later a flame appears, at the beginning very transparent and week but then materializes to a normal flame. at least something i think. i think about leaving my room because outside summoning of people might be easier. i look down and still naked i feel the cold skin. thinking about to change something about it but it would be a waste of time. i phase thru my window and slowly fly/float down. Some meters away there is a couple looking strangely at me. i am a little confused because of the fact that i might not be dreaming? or the fact i have no cloths on? probably the last one because its obviously a dream and i floating down... i land on the ground (in my actual street that is in front of my house) i look at the main-floor of the building and see a shop with a window front with a shelf behind it where one can see folder. i do a hand gesture and some of the folder fall down to the ground. i fly up again and decide to phase thru the window/wall to the child/sleeping-room of my direct neighbors underneath. i stand in the room and look around. i pick up a phone and push the button for redial. i hear the sound of dialing and then a female voice telling me "this phone is not connected" or something. i go to the floor and the woman who lives here [i picked up my book about Dream Yoga by andrew holecek there yesterday ] stands now there. first moment she seems to get scared and wants to scream but i promptly calm her down with some words and kneel down because for whatever reason i want to see her feet. her husband (looking different than IWL) accompanies us and i greet him too. i ask her what shoe size she has and she repeatedly answers something like each other in relation? because they seem to be different size. i stand up and also pick up the "phone" that now is a shoe [schema: feet --> shoe?!]. i decide to leave again and go into the kitchen and jump thru a table with some plants, with a flytrap among them and out thru the window and wall again. i float outside and notice i still have the shoe in my hand. i see the woman walks into the kitchen too and says something about that shoe. i phase my hand inside and reach her the shoe. she thanks and i let myself fall down, accelerating to the ground. i smash with all four on the ground but feel no harm. i stand up and find myself in a different street. way smaller and no people around... thats bad because i think again to summon FM. i go behind a corner and look there i hold my hand behind my back and call for him but again no success... i jump on a wall and look down to maybe find a more busy street. i feel unsettled and wake up before i can do something against it.

Fell asleep while doing a WILD attempt.

Lucid (Unstable/Unclear)
Lucid
Side notes/Thoughts



I don’t remember any of the dream except until up to me getting lucid. However I'm not sure that what I last remembered was even when I first became Lucid, for some reason I have a slight feeling I played around with fire, but I can't recall at all. Unlike my previous lucid attempts it was more stable and clear, and I felt far more like it was real life than any other previous time. I sort of blindly stumble around my house thinking of what to do when I find a door outside. For a moment the dream fades and I rub my hands together to stabilize it. No result. I then started spinning and I feel the dream strengthen. I then sit down and start feeling the stone on the ground and I can visibly see some sort of fogginess disappear and the clarity becomes near-realistic.

I felt really happy to have my first clear and stable lucid dream. (Most of my others lasted usually only a minute or so as they were extremely unstable). I decide to go in my backyard where my sister and a friend of hers were. I ask my sister to come to the front yard because I wanted to try experimenting on DCs but she refused. I went up and tried to grab her, but she dodged calling me a creep. I tried again, but this time adding superhuman speed so that she shouldn’t be able to dodge, however this time I slipped in the mud and she disappeared. The mud felt cold and fresh, almost relaxing and comfortable. Her friend felt bad for me and came over and picked me up. For some reason I was determined for using my sister instead of this other DC for the experiment and the friend explained how my sister could teleport her body elsewhere and then her conscious. (I don’t think I was fully lucid, at the very least while I was lucid, I was not lucid enough to remember that this world was entirely in my mind). I tried chasing after her a few times but it was futile.

I then end up waking up for no apparent reason, no loud sounds occurred and the light was off in my room. I missed an opportunity for DEILD but I only realized this after I got up. I had only slept five hours, and it explained why my memory of the dream was fading extremely rapidly. Even though it was lucid I panicked and typed down what I remembered. This is the only case I've ever had where I just suddenly woke up for no explained reason, and I'm quite certain I didn't will myself to wake up. It's a bit strange that I managed to become Lucid at all in such an early instance of REM.

Second entry for today. First were 3 dreams from tonight, this is for

LUCID Basic TOTM - Microscope

Sleep 9:20pm-6:30am

7:25 am - 3x300mg Alpha GPC
8am - 2x4mg pure Galantamine
8am - nap
11:30 - woke up after a long lucid and lots of non-lucids after

After falling asleep for a while and imagining my body sitting up or turning, I turned to my left side. I was preparing myself for a task - I wanted to find an airplane, grab a hold of it's wing and fly with it like that, and look into a window, wave to passengers, and even get into a plane. I got into a WILD.

TOTM:
I'm flying through a building with large rooms and halls. Looks like byzantine style. Lots of arches and arched ceilings, windows without glass.

Had a feeling it's some department store situated in historic building. After lots of exploring as I'm flying through a doorway, I see a salesperson and I remember the looking through microsope task. I ask her where does she keeps her microscope. She says right under her desk. We walk over there and she looks for it for a while. It looks different than I expected when she sets it on a desk. She says I need to put my finger into a little hole so the device can collect my DNA. I'm like no way, I'm not doing that. She grabs a needle, pokes her finger with it and literraly pulls out a tiny string of DNA, haha.

I look into the microscope, not knowing what to expect. There is just blackness at first, then a black and white face of young Harry Potter appears. I'm like pffft, realy?

After thisI get to some house. I'm feeling frisky and I'm following two boys in hope of getting some action. Second scenario with same goal - I'm in some private show rooms, something like a bordello. Someone is trying to talk me into being a performer, but I'm worried I'll be recognized. So they offer to put me into a full body suit with a face mask and all. I agree to that.

I don't remember the last non lucids I had before waking up.

Spellbee's Summer Lucid Competition 2016 - Entry 4

Not many things recalled this time. Besides the lone DILD, I only have scraps for a single dream. Of the DILD, I probably would have gotten more done if I didn't try to show off as I did. Darnit.

Scrap Group 1
Woke up on the floor of an unknown place. A look at a mirror revealed terrible rashes on my scalp patterned as mattress seams. My brother, Steve, nephew, Arun, and friend, Stan, turn up. A conversation on lucid dreaming and dream control ensues. D'oh!


30 minute WBTB, which instead becomes an hour and fifteen minute long WBTB.

Dream 1 - Summer Lucid Competition 2016 - Day 4

Scene 1 - Black Energy Orbs
The visuals were clear. I falsely awakened in my room upstairs.

On stepping out, I find a surprising figure arriving from the master bedroom: my maternal grandma, who's since passed for several years now. She was wearing a light blue dress with floral patterns. Her presence instantly gives me awareness.

I greeted her, but am reluctant to start up a conversation (still reeling back after a previous dream incident). She smiles back. Next, she hands me a plastic bag full of trash and asks me to dispose of it, to which I agree. I then jump right over the low wall and fall all the way downstairs. The dream blurs up, and I lose myself momentarily.

When I come to, I'm right back in the second floor. Grandma was still standing around. She asked me to remind mom of some mundane thing (groceries or medicine or something). I nodded, and jump back downstairs again. This time, I slowed my fall, and muttered "deeper" to keep stability and anchor myself, which did the trick.

Downstairs. Several figures were around the living room, but I ignored them. As I was making my way out, I thought to summon energy. I tensed my right hand and yelled to do so, but nothing seemed to happen. Tried again, this time keeping my hands out of view and straining myself further. When I looked, I found a reflective black orb of energy floating over my palm. I made it dance around in the air for a while. It rolled off view momentarily, and when I tried bringing it back, it was gone. So, I repeated the trick with both hands. I tossed the spheres, and willed them to orbit around me in a cross pattern to store them for later, but again, once out of sight, they vanished. Ah, well.

I go outside to a much different neighborhood. Instead of a housing complex, my home was located directly in a suburban street. Anyway, as I walk around, I see my younger brother, Jonas, driving a convertible version of his vehicle along with several of his friends. He stops to tell me stern news about dad. That dampened the mood. The dialogue drags on a bit until he leaves.

As I go on, I find a number of figures gathered around a corner. They were reclining and standing on a few disjointed platforms placed over a shallow, muddy pond far below, all covered by a wide green canopy. Many were Japanese kids (hinted at by their conversation) of highschool age , including an effeminate guy in a pink shirt and several girls.

Just realized a storm had commenced. I crept on an isolated platform, only to find it was slippery and dangerously unstable. Around that time, Jonas drove by the area. He momentarily glared at me before driving off. Ah, whatever. To keep from falling, I seated myself crosslegged and floated up towards a railing nearby. I couldn't squeeze between it and the canopy, and so had stop flying to hang on and climb over it instead.

Not too clear on much else. A transition afterwards.

Scene 2 - Castlevania - The Arcade Game
The visuals were slightly blurred. Not too sure where I was. I'd lost awareness by this point.

Someone nearby was playing a supposed beat-em-up Castlevania game on an arcade cabinet. This had the protagonist (not clear which one) fighting monsters while on a craggy beach at twilight. He soon fights the boss, Scylla, who appeared quite different. In this rendition, she had the body, arms, and tentacles of a humongous squid/octopus, the many long necks of a hydra, and giant heads of what would otherwise be conventionally attractive women with a variety of hair colors (at least one blonde, one brunette, and one with black hair). To damage her, the hero needed to outlast a tentacle assault until the creature swooped a head down to bite him.

The dream faded and ended soon afterwards.

D1- At school im giving extra lessons to some kids. For some reason its to one of the brightest kids but its really simple stuff. I am going through the workbook when a really big hulking kid turns up.
He gets really upset and then angry
I go up to him and despite some trepidation give him a big hug, this fixes things.

[Personal target for competition: Hug a DC ??]

WBTB
D2- back in dream at school. All the teachers are in trouble so the headteacher tells us all to stand in line and tells us off because weve been naughty.
After in the staff room S reminds me of the bad behaviour of a child.
Apparently they jabbed me up the bottom with their finger Oo (new one on me ,lol)
He carries on lecturing me about being strict with my new class.

D3- There is a group of people who have taken on super powers but they are kind of evil They change into looking nasty with a bluey green tinge to their faces. They are rampaging across London. Other groups plan on stopping them. I am telling people that they are not zonbies as they do not know but are people trying to take political control of the country.

D4- At my parents house it is night time but they have left an old style big radio with luminace front outside on the garden fence.
It is blaring out music and I am worried this will disturb the neighbours.
My mother says not to worry the neighbours are either deaf or dead around here.
(It has been very noisy here until the early hours but that is normal here in Spain)
Indoors there are loads of cats. One that I am supposed to be looking after , I an angry with as I think it has made a mess. It turns out it has had a baby kitten.

2nd WBTB
D5- There is a giant either glass with a very wide top, spanning the view or its a fountain as its so massive idk.
I remember I need to do my tasks and the first one that comes to mind is summoning a team member, as Elainey mentioned this one saying she doesnt know what anyone looks like.
I summon lunagoddess and she appears, all very beautiful with long wavey blond hair, only trouble is my subconscious obviously thinks all goddess are big and she appears in the sky taking up all the room. Her head is above the giant glass thing in the sky.
I now wonder what to do, no way am I saying anything is wrong to her.
but I have the idea when you summon someone you go on adventures and stuff and shes just this like head in the sky so I try again.
This time there are four new lunar goddess all wearing red tops and white shorts but human size so thats good.
I then think of another task.
For some reason I think the tasks are in my journal, I open my journal and the lines on every other line start peeling off. They curl up like some of the architectual columns in Barcelona.
They then float off to become sails on a big galleon floating in the sky.
I realise this is part of a power rangers episode and that I am losing lucidity.
I think think think for another task.
I ask luna goddess what time it is
She says time to get new underwear Oo
I wake up.

I remember I was at nondescript beach resort. I was there for some kind of convention for Skyrim there. I remember making a daedric sword out of styrofoam and delivering it to the convention (don't remember where the convention was taking place, but it was this huge building and seeing the inside it looked like a school science fair, except everything was Skyrim themed, obviously.) I was going back to my room when I recognized the dream sign of being at the beach.

I went inside of one of the rooms and saw it was much bigger on the inside. There was a hot tub and a swimming pool. There was this rock formation in the swimming pool made out of brown rocks that had water flowing down into the pool from it. The walls of the room were all bamboo and wood. I think the bamboo was alive because there were branches with leaves on them that became the ceiling. Also the only light in the room seemed to be coming from the bottom of the pool.

I knelt down by the side of the pool and felt the tiles for some stabilization. I then noticed that I could see my reflection in the water. I somehow got the idea to bring Manei into the dream using my reflection. I tried to focus on changing my reflection into her, and it worked. The reflection solidified and she came up from under the water. She looked a little funny as she retained a few of my dream-selfs facial features, but it was her all right.

I remember the two of us stayed in the pool for awhile and we were talking for awhile (twas about something personal that I was meditating on yesterday, for offline DJ only...) I remember she was talking to me about the seven sins and desires, but I remember thinking to myself that I wasn't going to bother "taking that back with me" when I woke up.

We tried to make a whirlpool in the hot tub by walking in circles and it worked. We tried going the other way and felt the current push us for a bit, but it stopped. There was some significance to the circular motion of the current we had created.

I remember at some point I was asking her if she could touch the bottom of the pool, because I couldn't. I told her that usually she's taller than me and she said she could stand with her head completely out of the water. I remember looking underwater thinking of the dream goal to go underwater and look. (Forgetting that I was supposed to do it in a lake or ocean.) The pool was really boring, it just had a sloped bottom consistent with the surface. It got really deep in one end, I think there was a diving board.

I tried to think of dream goals I had set for the competition. I remembered one of them was to build a sand castle. I could go back outside and do that very easily, but for whatever reason I didn't do it. I then thought of the water-bending goal. I tried various hand motions but it didn't seem to affect the water at all. I tried more of a mental focus just moving the water with my mind instead of hand motions. I think I might have stopped all the waves on the surface of the pool, but I didn't ever think that I had really succeeded.

I remember asking her for help. She said she would show me waterbending and proceeded to splash me in the face the normal old fashioned way.

"That's not waterbending."

She proceeded to spit a mouthful of water at me.

"That's not waterbending either." (Come on, this was one of the first things you ever taught me.)

I began thinking that the dream might be too grounded, too much like reality, and I'm going to need to introduce a fantastical element before I can unlock fantastical powers. I backtracked on my own thought and figured that Manei is a fantastical element, not real in waking life, and she's been right here for like ten minutes. Why isn't it working...?

A chubby guy with a big beard came in and said that I had won first place in the skyrim science fair whatever for my styrofoam Daedric sword. He asked if I really made it in 15 minutes. I had only been dreaming for about that long at this point, and through some error of logic I said yes. He said that the Daedric sword was a level 1 sword and the easiest to get in the game but I corrected him saying you can't get one until about level 40. I started talking with the guy about Skyrim but realized I was losing lucidity, so I stopped talking to the guy and he went away.

I think I falsely remembered a dream goal to ask a dream character to tell me a joke and wanted to hurry up and do it before the dream ended. I asked Manei to tell a joke.

"What planet is the butt of every joke?" She asked it with a big smile like she thought it was gonna be a really good one.

"Uranus." (I made that joke up when I was like ten.)

"I can't think of any more good jokes, my tummy keeps grumbling. I'm so hungry, I could eat a birthday cake as big as you! The next dream is Bartholomew, i'll eat it there!"

I false awakened in the basement of my house. I saw a painting of a giant butterfly on the wall. I closed my eyes and opened them again and the butterfly was real and the painting was blank. It started flying toward me.

I thought to myself "It's just a false awakening, don't be tricked by it." I was about to stabilize and keep a good thing going but I lost the dream. and woke up. It was 5:00am. I waited about half an hour for reentry but decided it better to just get out of bed.

I’m in this alleyway that’s apparently beside my house. There’s brick walls on each side, a couple arches, and a fire escape that’s further up. Three women in Victorian dresses run past me and start climbing up the wall, Assassin’s Creed style. I’m mildly impressed they can be so limber in such restrictive clothing. Under one of the archways, I see a metal ceiling fan, which has been partially covered with strange glow-in-the-dark paper. It actually looks kinda neat, so I grab some paper and tape off of the ground and start finishing the job.

I wake up for a quick WBTB (gotta be quick, anyway, since my job requires me to get up fairly early, so I need all the sleep I can get). I’m now in my college auditorium, where there’s some celebrity singer performing a concert. I’m standing backstage, and I catch a glimpse of the drummer - it’s one of my friends from high school. I’m pretty happy for him - he was one of the best drummers I’d ever seen in high school, and I’m glad he’s doing okay.

I’m now back in my dorm, apparently some time after the concert. I walk from room to room with my laptop, trying to find the best WiFi reception. As I go through the hallway, i notice some girls I know from high school walking through. Weird, this isn’t a co-ed dorm. Oh, I’m dreaming! As I realize this, the hallway transforms into the hallway leading to my bedroom in my house. I rub my hands together, convincing myself this is a very stable lucid dream. I run into my bedroom and try to lift myself off the ground through sheer willpower, but I can’t do it. Huh, I guess not having a quality lucid in forever has really messed with my control. I decide that maybe it has something to do with the low ceiling in my house. I spot my window over my bed, so I take a running start and dive through. The scene switches to slow motion, as I watch the glass shatter around me, with me twisting in mid-air just above the overhang of the first-floor. It’s a pretty neat effect, kinda like an action movie, but everything goes back to normal speed as I roll out onto the overhang. I stand up and find I’m completely unharmed. Guess that counts for Gain Invulnerability. I try once more to fly, this time starting with a jump, but I start to float back down to the ground. I kick my legs in mid-air like a Yoshi, which causes me to stop falling and slowly start floating upwards. It’s not graceful by any means, but it works. As I get slightly higher, I notice the sky isn’t really a sky - it’s more like clouds painted onto a transparent ceiling with nothing but blue behind it. The ceiling is really low, and I bump my head into it, causing me to black out.

I wake up in a strange bed and sit upright. Everything around me looks strangely textured, like I’m in a low-quality 3D animated movie. That can’t be right… I plug my nose to RC, and find that I’m still dreaming. There’s a hole in the middle of the floor, so I drop through it and find myself in a huge cafeteria, where people are eating, but no one seems to notice me. Alright, let’s start knocking out some more tasks. I first go for some telekinesis. I jump up on one of the tables and spot some unaccompanied plates beside me. I reach out my hand and manage to make some of them float. I turn another direction and lift a couple more plates and pieces of food in another part of the room. Having built up my confidence, I turn towards the center of the room, where most of the people are, and stretch out my hand. Suddenly a ton of stuff starts floating - plates, food, forks, knives, glasses, and even a trash can. Everyone starts looking around, wondering what’s going on, while I quietly sneak away, giggling to myself.

I spot a glass door leading to the outside, so I try to knock out my 3rd 3-step task. I blink and do a quick nod with my head, and I’m suddenly on the other side of the door. Outside looks like New York in Tom Clancy’s The Division - there’s snow on the ground, and a ton of large, heavy objects in the street to hide behind. Some guy sees me and quickly points a gun at my head. Luckily, I know I’m dreaming. “That won’t do you any good.” He stops, contemplates for a bit, and then puts the gun down. Instead, he hands me a business card for a special lucid dreamer order of the Assassins. He then darts off and climbs the building next to us, chased soon after by a couple firemen with ladders. At this point I lose lucidity, and the dream turns into a weird movie, where I’m being played by some guy that’s a mix between Matt Damon and Adam Sandler.

Spellbee's Summer Lucid Competition 2016 - Entry 3

There were many dreams this time, including a DILD at the end. However, all but the last one are only fragments now, if not completely forgotten.

Scrap Group 1
Two different dreams involving my fighting a Dream Views member.

Last days of school. Handed back paperwork. Radio plays some video game music, which annoys the female teacher. Mom and dad are there briefly. The former gets a bit upset at my grades in a few assignments. Turns out the teacher, another student and I were there as secret agents tasked with retrieving some valuable object. We were equipped with special tools and strength augmenting bionics for the job. I pick up the McGuffin too early, causing steel doors and grates to bar all exits. Reprimanded by the others; we'd exhausted all of our given resources. Luckily, I happened to have an explosive device handy for just such an occasion.

At home. Watching some history program related to a war. There's a knock on the door. I ignore it. Mom gets annoyed that no one else but her went to open it. Some Asian people deliver a package. They claim my Japanese teacher from way back in highschool is due for a visit. This must have been a very important event, for we all scrambled around to tidy up the place. I was still upstairs when she finally arrived. Never got to see her, though.

WBTB for 30 minutes, which turned into an hour instead.


Dream 1 - Summer Lucid Competition 2016 - Day 3

Scene 1 - Fun and Practice in the Yard
The visuals were a bit blurred and dim. I was at my home's living room at night. Several family members were around. After some mundane stuff, I quickly realize the dream state.

First, I go out to the backyard, doing so by phasing right through the closed, curtained glass door. Once there, I levitate for a bit, but could only hover for a few seconds before the strain forces me back down. Still, I purposefully rise and fall as a "workout". Afterwards, I fall backwards to warp somewhere else, muttering "deeper" to keep anchored and stable. I simply land on the (unusually barren) ground without incident. Furthermore, I sensed my body stirring in bed, but I keep keep calm, and mutter "deeper" once again.

Cue a transition.

Scene 2 - Can't Reach the Building
The visuals were brighter and clearer. I was in a suburbs bordering an urban area at a clear day. Various people were around. I'd momentarily lost lucidity, but pick it up just as quickly.

At that moment, I jump to making a "Codec" call to my dream guide, E. She doesn't response. Guess I'll just have to go on my own. Then, after darting around, I notice a lone apartment building in the distance. Seemed an adequate place to do the spider climb task. So, I head over there while muttering "deeper".

Another unwitting transition

Scene 3 - Stubborn Dream Control
The visuals were dimmer. I was within a large, fancy facility, its interior of gleaming brown marble. Much activity was going on in the background. I was still lucid.

Wander a around for a bit, all while re-anchoring every minute or so. I try teleporting by phasing again, specifying to turn up near a tall building. So, I try walking through a wall while using the mantra, only to bump face first into it. Did so again at various different places, including a lounge and a hallway, but still nothing.

Next, I wander into a reception area, the high ceiling held up by very, very large pillars. I tried phasing through a pillar to similar results. Got curious of my strength. So, I tried pulling up a pillar. This required effort, but I managed to yank it out of the ground like a stubborn weed. I even lugged it around for a half minute or so, but it was very heavy and unwieldy, so I dropped it when I got too strained. Just realized the roof might cave in. It seemed others shared such a concern, given how quickly they were leaving. I decided to follow suit.

As I traveled down a hallway, I wondered if merely muttering teleport would do. So, I tried this. The environment immediately fizzles out. I keep focused, imagining this was simply part of the process. Coincidentally, a vague "loading" bar shows up.

Slowly but surely, I'm transitioned again.

Scene 4 - Can't Reach the Building... Again
The visuals brighter. I was in a suburban area similar to before. Still aware. Rows of apartment buildings are visible a few blocks away. An even better place for the spider climb task.

As I approach, I'm unwittingly transition yet again.

Scene 5 - High Tension Water Control
The visuals were slightly blurrier. I was wading in a beach under stormy skies. Waist high, turbulent waters rushed past me. This place was packed with beach-goers.

For a moment, I simply examined the vivid smell and sensation of the ocean. Such appreciation was interrupted by a huge wave, which knocked me and many others back. Strangely, I was never fully submerged. Thinking this fun, I allowed tides to batter me around, though I never did reach the shore despite how far the waves carried me off. Concurrently, part of "Song 2" by Blur sounded in the background.

Then, I wondered if I could make things more exciting by summoning a sea monster. I turned away from the waves, and imagined people screaming and running out of beach for their lives to signal it's entrance. The others did do as much, a few of which even voiced a stock scream or two. I turned back, anticipating a huge beast, but didn't find such a thing. Instead, I was met with much, much larger waves.

In desperation, I held my arms up towards the water. This unwittingly stalled the water in its tracks. I focused to hold it back, at least just enough so it wouldn't crash down on me too violently. When several other waves approached, I was able to redirect them directly over and past me.

The tides calmed down for a bit. I was curious of this new power. So, I tried lifting a waterball, but couldn't. This made me doubt whether I had any control of this at all. Suddenly, even more enormous waves turn up. I stood fast, and, wilfully this time, delayed them as before. Figured this only worked during high tides or high tension.

I go on for a bit, but eventually, I mistime the technique. Thus, a wave bashes me right out of the dream.

Alright, so I took a benadryl last night (details of my allergy being withheld) that knocked me out cold. Was lucky I got lucid at all...

Dream: I was playing some kind of first person shooter game. I was fighting in a 2v2 match. I was supposedly playing with four people and we were making a clan together. The plan was to create a clan together and when we went into team death-matches we would split into two teams of two, but we were doing 2v2 matches mixing and matching each member of our team to see what combinations of us worked together the best.

We were fighting on some kind of dock map. Off to the right was a beach/coastal area with palm trees. But the dock we were on was very futuristic and had all of these shipping boxes of various sizes positioned around that we could use for cover in the fight. We had just started when one guy said that a very rare power-up appeared that allowed him to eat the sun and get a rare achievement.

He held his hands in the air and rays of sunlight started streaming down onto him. When the light went away I saw he was holding a tiny star in his hands. The visuals were really all out, you could see the plasma on the surface boiling, and little solar flares bursting off the surface of the sun. He continued to compress it until it became a tiny marble sized ball glowing a very bright white. He then ate it.

-+-

I was in some neighborhood, not my own and not even any of the ones. I looked in the sky and saw seven moons. I said that that was a dream sign. Then I looked away and saw the entire sky was moons in a grid. (Taking the multiple moons/suns dream sign to its logical extreme, I guess) I looked a third time and saw a gas planet and a system of moons as well as two suns.

"Okay, I know that I'm dreaming, but I'm not allowed to get lucid yet."

I closed my eyes and opened them and I was in my backyard.

"Okay now I can get lucid. I am dreaming, and everything I am seeing is created by my mind. Man, just my backyard. My subconscious is sooo boring sometimes!" While I was on this train of thought of how I became lucid from looking at the sky and seeing the multiple moons and how this wouldn't count for points in the competition because I needed to do a 'proper' reality check. I did a nose pinch reality check, and rubbed my hands together. I looked at my sandbox (IWL it was removed years ago, but it was present in the dream.) I thought about my goal to build a sand castle and then thought of something about onion rings. I then felt the urge to sneeze and when I sneezed milk started coming out of my nose. (At least I HOPE that that white liquid was just milk...)

Someone said something about anime and manga being different and how manga books are weird because they read backwards. Someone said that the milk coming out of my nose was like when an anime character gets a nosebleed but because it was milk instead of blood that it should symbolize something else.

I felt like I was going to wake up and lose the dream, so I ran inside, milk pouring out of my nose I saw a computer error on the big screen TV in the basement.

Total: 12

D1- Me and my daughter are playing with her playmobil toys, she is small as usual. We are in a big white room with thick carpet. There are loads of toys all over the floor. I have a load of them lined up.
The toys are alive and I am defending against the enemy invaders. It is like a tactical rpg and my troops/ toys are gaining exp.
I see she has five green dragons I put them with my heros so they level up to big ass dragons later.

D2-I am trying to cover up some major fraud at the local council. To do this I shoot someone in the leg on some waste ground, it is my accomplise and one other. Blood trickles onto the ground. I escape to a local hospital and hideout.
At the hospital my daughter has the secret papers but actually it is a folder full of bithday cards with glitter on and stuff lol.

D3- There is some conference or something, with lots of people standing around chatting. Everyone is suited up. One guy with dark hair and a beard is talking about how he has a theory about going back in time to plant a tree so its big ass in the future. This seems a revolutionary idea and we all imagine the tree and ponder about it lol.
I tell him and the woman next to him to follow me. I do not tell them I know how to time travel as I figure they will think im nuts and not follow me. I go out through a fire exit into some basement area behind some pipes and kapow we are in some other place altogether, it was a time portal.
I tell them they have to keep up or we wont get to the next portal in time.
We are now travelling through a busy market place and the man starts to look around. I think tough luck and leave him with some gangsters there who will no doubt kill him. We travel on to the next portal and are in dinosaur times and find the tree he was on about. The woman and me travel back to the present. No one noticed we were gone.

I WBTB
D3- Im in school with the woman from the last dream. We meet some old year sixes and they are looking for some old vinyl records. We look in the badement from previous dream in boxes.
Then I realise my shirt has gone and im covered in marker pen scrawl writing. I think this is all wrong ,hey im dreaming!
Im lucid and look around me then I wake up all excited and happy.

D4- I try to get back into the dream and find myself in the school building again. Lessons are on and I look for my class but cannot find them.
I go into a class and desperatly want to tell them I had a lucid dream.
but i an told they are working in silence and I get all embarressed.
There are no other teachers about, the manager doesnt care.
Then all the teachers turn up late, after partying.

D5- There is a giant jcb in our yard. Its broken and we need to get rid of it, it takes up all space. We have tried breaking the glass but it is reinforced and just buckles also the roof. We dont know how to break the digger up.

d6- class is going on in the room from the first dream. All the toys are pushed to the side if the room. The tree from the other dream is also there.

since i had a bicycle day yesterday i was occupied the whole day and got late to bed (around 2 am), i woke up for the first time at 7:30 with only a fragment of the whole night and felt tired. got to the toilet and was torn back and forth to just go back to bed and sleep some more or try to induce a lucid. i decided to try it. lay on my back started with relaxation, incubated my goals again and did some SSILD cycles. i felt for a WILD but felt way to alert and awake. i turn on the side and try to fall asleep. but even now i felt to awake i turned 2 times and fall asleep and woke up with a nice Lucid in my pocket

[some more NLD i cant recall] ... move down the street in company of a woman and a older man. while walking a super tiny thought of 'when this is a dream' pops up. my awareness rises instantaniously and i am fully lucid. i do a nosepinch and its difficult to breath thru but i know i am dreaming. those two move infront of me and i tell them to go without me i will catch up. "but wait a sec" i say and pull a stone with telekinesis from a building site next to me and give it to the woman. she looks confused and like i want to shit her and she throws the stone away. [i did this to score some points maybe not fully lucid yet ]
i look behind me to the horizon. it is night and i see two buildings on the left and the right side. in the middle i can see the sky. i turn to the woman and tell her: "you see? behind me? there is no building but now you can see the tall building? in the middle? you can see it right?" i turn around and see the building i have summoned. it worked like a charm. i stand next to her and we look both at the building now.
I tell her: "now, since everything is just a picture, an image in my head i can make this building disappear just like that" i hold up my hand and move it slightly in front of the building. at the beginning not much happen but then i just imagine some more sky instead of the skyscraper and it disappears. i smile to her and she smiles too and seems to be a little impressed and not thinking that i want to kid her anymore. "now do you want to accompany me a little?" i think shortly... originally i wanted to summon a skyscraper to climb it up like spiderman but now that i unsummoned it i dont feel like put in more effort and dream time to make myself a suitable building.
i look up front and see an old not to high house. this will do i think and "my next goal is to climb up this house like spiderman" while i say so we approach the house and i imagine micro hair on my finger tips [like in the movie ] and start to touch the wall. the woman and the man seem a little confused but do as i do. at the beginning i have some problems and hold myself at edges of the house but then i dont need anything to hold on and climb purely the wall like spiderman. i climb up and for whatever reason there is a roof/ceiling there and i climb up side down. it feels a little weird and i dont know exactly what to do now. i push myself away from the ceiling and land on my feet standing in a room now.
i am in a kitchen. i think about what to do and pull a rubber ball with TK into my hand i look to the man and tell him "i will change the color of the ball." the ball is blue? now i look at it and will it to change the color to green. after a sec the color starts changing and the man screams up with enjoyment. i stop - but wait the ball turned white. i will a little more and now it changes in green. i feel satisfied.
i want to mass TK and pick up three items. the ball and two little tomatoes i try to make them levitate at the same time but have some problems with it. i dont try hard enough but instead i change the color of the two tomatoes. because of schemas they turn green like unripe ones, but i want them to be purple i look at them concentrated and it changes and changes to black and then purple. nice!
so i cant lift enough objects at a time but i could lift something very heavy. i use TK to lift up the water boiler and smash it around. the DC´s around scare up and feel a little uncomfortable but i dont care and start to find it funny to demolish the kitchen. i lift up the stove. i rip and tug around until the cables rip of with some sparks and smash it against the wall. i turn around and lift the refrigerator and throw it across the livingroom (that wasnt there before). i feel like this was enough. i lift a book and throw it a guy against his head and enter the living room.
i think around what to do and think i could teleport. i approach the window to jump out but on half the way i think it would be smarter to phase thru the wall. i turn left and run straight to the wall. for a part of a second i think about if it would be smarter to do it slowly and static but i decide to jump right thru will work fine. and i phase thru it without a problem [in opposite to some other encounters] and find myself in mid air over a street, as it seems at the height of the 5th floor or something... i am surprised because i didnt expected this and i start falling with waggy arms. while falling i reflect on my situation and tell myself i am invulnerable and my falling gets controlled and i land safely on my feet.
now it is after dusk, the street is a little wet and it smells wet and fresh. its silent like it should be in the morning hours. i draw a portal with my feet but it looks shitty so i kneel down write with my finger 'My room' draw a portal right beneath it. stand up look at it and try to push my hands in a "handstand" into the portal. nothing happens at the beginning but after some seconds i feel like my finger start to sink in like into wet mud i embrace this feeling and start to sink in completely. i am in the void but still feel like a part of me is inbetween the locations. i give it a last push and feel a litte falling and now am completely in the void. i do some tactile movements to be sure not to wake up. i see some white noise while i think about a sentence i have read some days ago from sageous or sivason or someone: "the void is like a loading screen, like the construct of your head [or something]" i think about it and it makes sense. i finish this thought and feel like beeing long enough here so i start to visualize my room. a homescreen (like in windows) appears with two users. [again schema because thinking of a "loading screen?] i "click" it (but without doing anything...) and stand in my room. i decide to wake up because i am scared i would loose the beginning.

this was a very pleasing lucid. i didnt believe i would get lucid because it didnt felt that way but it was a long and stable one. too bad i didnt remember to summon a teammate and let him accompany me (that way i would have had about 30-40 points more...) but used the woman that was already there... but i dont care and am happy about getting lucid again.

from today on my GF is in town again and we will see how lucky i get when sleeping not alone anymore.

SpellBee Comp my first night of trying.

I was in what appeared to be a group home setting. One of the
male staff was taking a special interest in me, in an intimate
sense. He kept flirting with me. I became lucid due to the fact
that this raised a moral flag to me & also due in fact that I was
in a home as a child & there was a sense of familiarity of a rehab
I was in multiple times as an adult in my 20's.

I woke up & kept my eyes mostly closed to go pee. And laid back
in bed to try & continue this dream as a WBTB method & WILD.

I fell right back into the dream. Unfortunatley the content was
too overwhelming for me to conciously start preforming the task
of the competition yet my dream continued from the get go fully lucid!

Completely lucid from the start now. I am realizing that the
other staff & young women living here are taking notice to this
situation that's unfolding. I look around & am no longer thinking
this is a group home. It's more of a rehab which in my actual
experiences is close to the same thing yet on an adult level. But
of course my reciprocating actions by flirting back & feeling
much affection towards this man is conforting & mutual from a
sexual view... I am in my bed & there are other women, not girls
around me in their beds but we are all watching tv but I'm not
paying attention to it, only that I notice it's a movie & the
lights are low. The bedroom scenerio is bothering me so I change
it to a living room setting which has sectional couches. This
wasn't a hard reach for me because I had a point of reference
from when I was in a similar setting in a rehab minus this
particular man. (I'll explain later) I am cuddling with him & am
enjoying the intimacy. We pull the covers over our head & we can
see the light through it from the big tv & can hear others
wispering. I feel I know him very well. I lay my head on his chest
& I can feel he is getting an erection & I'm also feeling aroused.
I realize why I feel like this. He's my husband. My real life
husband. I decide I need to wake up now because he may still be
in our bed & I need to be in the waking world.

This dream has representation's of things merged into this weird
dream. For one, I was in a group home when I was a teenager, two,
I was in a rehab in my twenties multiple times. One of those
times like other times I also entered on the domestic violence
side & actually did have an affair with a male staff member. I
was an adult at that time. And the reason my husband is represented
like this is because in December I had a hysterectomy which made
it difficult for us to start having sex until right before my
son came back for the summer from college. Due to him being here
we haven't been able to be intimate so obviously I'm missing my
husband & can't wait for my son to go back for his 5th yr of
college!

Competition Notes-Teal

I was hoping to fall asleep early for the second night. But even though I went to bed at 8pm all I got was dream images in my mind. So I had to give up when it reached 10pm and ended up staying awake for a while. Tried again at 1am and fell asleep around 2am.

First Dream

I was staying at a hotel where someone was awarded hero points for saving two people.

Second Dream

This dream is kind of embarrassing because it stems from my fear of the unknown and not knowing whether being open to it is a good or bad thing at times.

It was daytime and I was in my backyard sitting on the grass, next to my dog that died last year. As I pet him I thought about how I should take the opportunity to appreciate him being here more. I decided to do that by looking at his paws, holding it, than petting his paw pads because he is the first dog that I was able to touch like that. (We use to have a chihuahua but we didn't keep him long.He had a biting and humping problem). I than looked up at Max who seemed to be content and relaxing. But as I was looking at his direction something in the shed behind him made a thump sound. I was than reminded of the cat that got stuck in the shed that my dad told me about.(It actually ended up dead though in WL).

After that I had a false awakening and was laying on my bed in the dark. I heard a voice of a girl in the direction of my door and thought I was hallucinating. But when the voice got louder and closer to me I thought it was a demon pretending to be a girl. I turned away from it and it tried to go inside of me. I used my will power to fight it but it ended up going partly inside me. Feeling like it was my fault the demon came I started to pray for help but as I was praying I realized that I didn't need to pray for it to go away because it wasn't real.It started to wrap itself around me with its stretched out arms but I just tried pulling it off halfheartedly thinking "Is my dream guide going to save me? Do I really want to be saved from this even if it was a real demon?" and how dumb I would look from God's perspective if I could just get out of the predicament by myself.

That's when another false awakening happened. I kept my eyes closed and reached for the remote control on the desk next to my bed so I could turn on my t.v. for light.(Yes, I do that in WL when I have nightmares sometimes...) But when I pressed the button the t.v. screen was just static and than turned off by itself.The dream demon than came back and wrapped itself around me again. I tried fighting it off but thoughts of astral projection popped into my head and if astral projection was real the thought of getting attacked scared me. I than heard my dad and looked up. He walked slowly to the front of my door and said "It's almost time. Get upstairs before the clock hits 6" than left. When he said that I forced myself onto the floor with the dream demon on me than crawled under the bed wanting to run through the walls and out of the house. But I didn't because it just felt safer to be under the bed and definitely not after my worst nightmare happened upstairs.

Self Advice: Fear clouds the mind. Don't let your fear of the unknown cloud your judgement in your dreams. But how do I clear this feeling of fear and guilt? Probably the answer is just to not believe in it. I can't think of anything else and yet it still makes me feel close minded for some reason.

Third Dream

I can't recall the first thing that happened because this dream was so random so I'm just going to skip to the part I remember. I was in a rectangular room that was filled with wooden furniture and a lamp that gave the room a orange tint to it. I was waking up in the dream and looked at the black rectangular clock that was high on a shelf. It said 6:23pm. I looked at it disappointed and in shock. "Nooo....I can't believe I slept that long just to get points" I thought feeling ashamed of myself.

Hearing my brother outside the door I decided to leave the room and go eat dinner. But when I left the room a video screen popped up showing the life of a boy and now It wasn't my house anymore;It was a house for a t.v. show. The boy looked like Fred from YouTube and he was pretending to be a nerd in one scene, a girl in another and so on. His friend who was a girl than called him asking him to hurry up and go to school, that it was their last chance to pass". He didn't want to listen though and just made jokes.

As that was happening I was walking through the house and jumping over things not aware it was a dream. After that I had a false awakening and thought I was on my bed about to get a WILD. I saw a image of my old parakeet Marisol in a cage.I looked at the image of Marisol hoping to get a Wild because I wanted to get more points."Come on Marisol stay with me".She moved a bit but than faded."No come back! Come on!" I said wanting to just do my next task. The image of her came back clearer but her head was partly blurry. I than decided to give up.Waking up for real.

Spellbee's Summer Lucid Competition 2016 - Entry 2


There were many dreams today, including a DILD after my first WBTB. However, I've forgotten much of the others, and even of those three that I could identify, two of them are only fragments.

Before the following, I do a 45 minute WBTB, which turned into an hour and 45 minute WBTB instead.

Dream 1 - Plane Flip

The visuals were pretty clear. I was a passenger in a small car, being taken down a long road at daytime. Grassy hills remained in view at my right. Driving the vehicle was my uncle, Felix.

We stop at a red light. My uncle cuts ahead a bit, but backs up when he "remembered" his previous traffic citation. This all seemed very familiar... Anyway, he eventually makes a long right turn into a long, curved highway ramp. Soon, a large bridge is in sight. The George Washington Bridge, I thought, heading to New York. As I look around for the cityscape, I instead find the shadow of a mountainside in the distance. Just then, I realized I lived a few thousand miles away from this area, and thus, attain lucidity.

I fly out. The dream starts fading into brown. So, I stabilize and anchor myself by muttering "deeper". In time, the environment reforms. I'm then floating over a grassy flatland with the distinctive blocky textures of Minecraft. Eh, done that. I grumble "deeper" a few more times, and willfully drop through the ground.

As it turned out, this plane was only paper thin. I'm unexpectedly "flipped" into another area, its gravity completely reversed. After readjusting myself, I see I'm hovering high over a series of grass-topped, narrow plateaus. Still had the same cheap, boxy textures as before, if a bit brighter and clearer. Let's go deeper.

Dived head first through the ground again with the intent to "flip" planes once more. Once inverted, I see I'm ducked down on a pebbly brook. This time, the visuals were realistic, though a bit dimmer. Still, this was much better overall. I played around with the water, splashing it around and letting it drift past my hands. Got a little too caught up with this; couldn't help but appreciate its lifelike, cool dampness.

Well, I snap out of this after a minute or so. I tried looking around, only to find I can't move my neck. Stay calm. Just move on. I used my "Codec Device" to call my dream guide, E, but there was no response. Then, seconds after I gave up, a small, 8-bit figure appeared in view from my left. This seemed as a lady in a black cloak. She spoke to me in white text, though the words scrolled too fast for me to accurately read everything but her name (only remember it was an adverb; "Still", I think?). I'm quite certain this sprite-lady gave a snippy explanation as to why my guide wasn't going to show. She walked off-view immediately afterwards.

Then, a bright spark bounces around in front of me. This begins shattering the environment. I maintain my grasp for half a minute before the dream collapses entirely.


Scrap Group 1
Waking up in a hotel room on a fluffy, pink covered and white bed. Next to that was an even smaller, pinker bed designed for children. The area was a bit messy. Mom and dad were nearby.

Found several large roaches around the house, encountering them in some very unlikely spots each time (besides the laundry room). As I wake up, I feel a creeping sensation. I'm uncertain if it's real or not, and hesitate. Eventually, I blew air at it, where I then feel and hear the distinctive humming of large insect wings. Oh crap. I freeze in panic, and, once possible, instinctually try brushing it off. There's nothing there, just an illusion.

Dream 2 - "Reality" Bites

The visuals were clear. I was sitting in my home's dining room at daytime. Levon was nearby.

As I was eating a meal from a bowl (porridge, I think), my lower left-most flat tooth snaps right off. I spit it out, and taste a distinctive mixture of blood and wheat. After staring at it haplessly for a few seconds, I rush to the bathroom. A look in the mirror did indeed confirm what I feared. I couldn't believe any of this, prompting a breathing test, yet this "proved" the "reality" of the situation.

Still, I refused to accept any of this. As denial, I began running out the door to fly. Mom concurrently opened the door from the outside. Anyway, I leaped in the air and... faceplant. Hard. How embarrassing. The others muttered in confusion. Seeing as I couldn't humiliate myself any more, I just practiced some handstands, much to the further confoundment of everyone else.

I wake up soon afterwards.
