Lucid Dreams
9:30pm-12:35am -I appear to be in my bedroom and everything is dark as if all the lights are turned off. I am remembering that while I'm looking at my watch that this is a dream. Now, I'm seeing my watch change from Orange to a bluish purple and I'm seeing a picture of the dream views owl on my watch. I am remembering thinking to myself, "That's a few points.". I'm now looking that's my right foot and I'm seeing that it's having some sort of orange or about it and I'm seeing a picture of a fox. Towards the wall of my bedroom furthest from me it seems I could continue that is very dark. It's sort of like a cave but, I'm not really sure if it is.
I found myself at my workplace. I was going through the department till I saw a familiar person with his back facing towards me. I looked at his hair and the way he was behaving as I got closer and realized I knew him. It was a co-worker I knew from my last job and this was one of my biggest fears. He then turned around and greeted me saying "Hey it's me, it's good to see you again" I was shocked, couldn't believe it and it didn't make sense to me at all. I immediately began thinking about who gave him the opportunity to work here. I looked at him and said "No screw this". "This has to be a dream, I can't believe this is happening and I don't even remember driving here and why is it in the afternoon already?" I must be dreaming as I gain lucidity for a brief moment. That's when all the other co-workers came to celebrate his new position as my captain. They all started acting like they were going to throw a party for his honor. As he approached me saying "It looks like we'll be working again" I lost my lucidity as the dream scene changed right after.
I'm back in MeiSEKAI for the first time in a while, with an LD to show off for comp! Unfortunately I don't have time to add much detail to non-lucids >_< NIGHT 1 Dream #1 (Fragments, Non-Lucid): Frag1: S was still in Morocco, and J and I seriously shipped Ms. T with a new (false) assistant English teacher. I put their (illegible) together. Frag2: Checking out colleges but not really? Kind of a blur. Later saw S and mom, she snapped at S to not "act different." Then I (illegible). Woke at 2:50 and WBTB. Dream #2 (Fragments, Non-Lucid): Frag1: Ms. T and another teacher kept writing on a board that English and Art were not useless. Frag2: Dude had a lot of money but was saving it to go on a trip to/with/for the person he likes. He thought it was funny and didn't seem to know why he liked her, but said that she was "relaxing." 5:30 WBTB. Dream #3 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): Featured an expert on "letter analysis." 6:50 WBTB. Dream #4 (Non-Lucid): Plot1: MC ran away from home... actually, he flew away from home, which set off alarm bells in the back of my NEO mind. He stole J & L's dad's car and drove off with their (false) dogs. Ended up in a hotel and kept getting notifications from his 3DS, but didn't wanna respond in case it could be tracked. So he searched it up on his phone, not knowing that phones are trackable. At some point he looked out the window of his hotel room and saw his classmates(?) on a field trip. One kid spotted him and, for some reason, MC didn't break eye contact. The kid told the group and ran into the hotel, bursting into MC's room, but by that point he'd already flown out the window. He was pursued, and they had a conversation I can't remember. Plot2: An assassin on the job decided to kill another guy on the side. But when said guy turned the corner, he made eye contact and flashed the revolver at his hip. MC was a bit startled. He pressed himself against the wall so he couldn't be seen from a ledge above, a good thing because moments later revolver guy was standing on it, mimicking a seductive woman's voice to try and lure MC into the open. Ironically MC's interest was piqued not because he was fooled, but because that was also his method of killing. If the dream had continued, it would've turned into a gay assassin x assassin romance. Plot3: An evil man was on trial, and a woman stood up to testify. In an NEO-moderated speech she said that even worse than the things he was on trial for, was the fact that he had groomed her teenage son. Everyone clapped and when she went into the back room, she received a bunch of Project Sekai rewards. One of them was a song so obscure it surprised me to the point of being impressed. Woke at 8:29 and had to get up. NIGHT 2 Dream #1 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): I was "getting a story" from out of a trash can, both manipulating each other. [I have no idea what I meant.] The videos were mostly ads and extremely generic. I was thinking about cognitive abilities and lucid dreams, hoping they would mention them. 4:00 WBTB. Dream #2 (Non-Lucid) Plot1: A journalist was jumping around trying to capture interesting moments between [stopped writing for some reason]. Plot2: I told my mom I didn't know how to do something, and she started screaming, calling me a pathetic waste of space and an effing idiot and et cetera. I just stood there waiting for her to stop. Plot3: This was the largest part of the dream but I couldn't quite remember it. A bunch of people were fighting about something on a reality TV show… at some point I told my mom I was recording them to placate her. 5:30 WBTB. Dream #3 (Non-Lucid): Very brief yuri plot, teacher x teacher. One of them had the asexual flag tattooed on her palm and was upset about something. Her partner suggested they move out because Japan was too (illegible, but something similar to conservative?). 7:00 WBTB. Dream #4 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): (Illegible, something about people not taking my advice.) S had to give advice instead, which is ironic. 7:30 WBTB. Dream #5 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): Someone was trying to understand someone else's culture. 8:00 WBTB. Dream #6 (Lucid): Plot1: There was a lesbian TV show being played somewhere, and I found one of the actresses in my basement. I told her that I thought the show had been made in the 60s or 70s, but actually it was released in 2022. She told me that the other main lead found a husband and they were no longer in contact, but it was clear she missed her and implied that she wanted us to go find her. Plot2: I was in the basement talking to my dad, when I saw my dog Nile sitting outside the sliding glass doors. I told Z and he went out to get him, but walked right past, even as he went from puppy- to normal-size. To prank him I brought Nile inside and shut the doors, but he came back with a nearly identical dog in his arms! "Um, Z, that's not Nile," I said, but they looked so similar I doubted myself. Then another dog appeared and suddenly we were outside in our neighborhood. A glass dome surrounded it, and the grassy part in the middle had become a jungle. We were searching for the dogs that weren't Nile, to return them to their owners. I think I examined floating screenshots to find out that one's name was Riddick. Other animals were in the jungle as well, and they all had "file names" you could view by focusing in on them. Some were just the name of the animal ("parakeet") but others were more personal ("the weird one"). There was also a gigantic moose walking around. "I didn't know moose were that big," my dad said. "I know right? It's scary." I pulled out my phone to take a picture, but paused when it turned in my direction. "Uh, is it…?" I slowly started drifting away (we'd been flying the whole time), but when it stepped closer, I turned tail and accelerated so quickly it worried me. I could hear its footsteps thundering behind me, so I flew higher and higher, trying to reach a tall tree for cover. But then I saw the glass dome and decided to phase through it like I do in my dreams, which got me lucid! I kept going, flying as fast as a jet (now that I think about it, this is Advanced Flying, isn't it?), and there were clouds and green fields below me as far as the eye could see, zipping past in a blur. My fear of heights seemed to have disappeared, and I was enjoying it so much that I pushed myself to go faster and faster. At some point I tried to shoot fireballs out of my hands, but it didn't work. Okay, okay, I gotta think, what should I do for comp? The first thing that popped into my head was three-step tasks, and with some difficulty I remembered "Fly" as my first. Check! I incorrectly remembered DC Manipulation/Mind Control as my second, so I flew down to the first DC I spotted. She was a young woman in a crop jacket and loose jeans, nose buried in her phone. I whispered under my breath for her to get on her stomach and crawl, not loud enough to hear. But it was only when I made her want to do it, when I imagined her doing it, that she flopped onto her stomach. Still, she didn't crawl, and I started to worry that it wouldn't count for the competition if she didn't fully follow through. I had the sense that I was short on time. "Crawl!" I yelled, but she just lay there with an expression of lazy smugness. Again I made her want to do it, imagined her doing it, and she did! She crawled forward! I was ecstatic, but before I could even think about my third task, I woke at 8:30 and had to get up. Pretty successful dream, though, even if it was short and I messed up the task order! I actually have two or three more LDs to add from my period of inactivity, but I'll deal with them later. Oh yeah, and I filled up another DJ, though my handwriting has gotten much worse since then Points: Night 1: WBTB - 2 points Remember a Non-Lucid Fragment - ˝ point Remember a Full Non-Lucid Dream (x3) - 3 points Sum: 5.5 points Night 2: WBTB - 2 points Remember a Non-Lucid Fragment (x3) - 1.5 points Remember a Full Non-Lucid Dream (x2) - 2 points DILD - 10 points Fly + First Chosen Task - 10 5 points Advanced Flying - 10 points Interact with a Dream Character - 2 points DC Manipulation / Mind Control - 5 points Sum: 42.5 37.5 Previous sum: 5.5 points Comp total: 48 points 43 points Lil sketch:

6:29am-7:19am - I appear to be in my room and Mom is coming to me and asking me if I can take care of a cat and I'm freaking out and saying something like, "Why do I have to take care of this cat?! It's going to scratch me!". I'm acting dramatic and I really don't want to take care of the cat. I'm now, suddenly outside on a sidewalk. It's bright and I'm on a black blanket. Someone in the distance on the block is asking me if I want to take care of a gerbil. The gerbil is a very round and very big. It's about the size of my head and it runs up to me and at first I'm hesitant about it. But, I quickly fall in love with it and I'm very happy and eager to take care of this thing. I'm holding it to my face and lying down with it. All of a sudden, some person out of nowhere comes and snatches the gerbil from me, takes it in the car and then drives off. I'm appalled and heartbroken and run after it. I think the dreamscape changes and now I'm in a car on a highway with DJ and Willy while there's someone else being the chauffeur. The car is chasing the car that stole my gerbil. I'm still very determined to get my gerbil back. I'm seeing that the car that the thief is in is coming to a sort of gate that has a black bar in it and now I'm kind of happy because I believe that the car will stop and we'll catch him. However, the car does not stop at all and in fact, it phases through the gate. I'm wondering to myself how on Earth that happened and within a few seconds, the car that I'm in is approaching that same gate and it's not showing any signs of stopping. I am getting a little scared because I think that we're going to crash. But, instead, we phase through the gate just like the thief car did. I'm wondering to myself how we manage to phase through that. And before I know it, within a few seconds, we're approaching another gate and we Face through it as well. I'm wondering to myself, "How on Earth did we phase through the gate?". Then I realize and say out loud, "Ooh. This is a dream!... Wait... If this is a dream, then...", I make a huge leap that makes me phase through the hood of the car, several feet in the air, and then land far ahead in front of the car that I was just in. As I'm hitting the ground, I am going into a full-on sprint at a crazy speed that is having me run past other cars on the highway. As I'm starting to run, I'm hearing the invincibility soundtrack from Sonic Adventure 2 battle play in the background. I'm catching up to the car that stole the gerbil. The windows are pure black. I'm now by its right side and as I'm running next to it, I'm looking at the car and shouting, "Hey! Give me back my gerbil!". The car doesn't acknowledge me and just pulls off. I'm appalled again and pick up my speed and I'm running after it. As I'm catching up to it, I'm noticing that DJ is also running at super speed and catching up to me. Now, DJ is fully caught up to me and is on my left side and I'm just wondering where Willie is. DJ is speaking in a really calm sort of monotone monotonous voice: DJ: Willy's holding us back. Me: Why? DJ: He still doesn't realize that this is a dream, yet. Me: Seriously?! DJ: Yeah Willy on DJ's literal hand phone 🤙🏾: Bro, where ARE y'all?! DJ: Willy, this is a dream. Willy: WHAT?! Me: I can't deal with this right now. (I take off and run up ahead) I'm now in a super busy place that looks like Manhattan. There's cobblestone all over the ground, it has an incline, and there are many shops in the sidewalks. I'm done with the hamster situation and now, I'm trying to teleport by closing my eyes doing an arm swimming motion. I'm trying to do that to teletype to a store with a yellow awning with vintage black writing. But, the teleportation attempt is not working. So, I'm deciding that I'm going to ask Lysander how to teleport. So, I ask a security guard on top of the stairs in front of a store where Lysander is and he's pointing to some guy inside of the store behind a desk who is wearing a coral colored Polo t-shirt and it's clearly not Lysander, it at least not the Lysander that I'm talking about. I'm telling the person who was pointed to that he's not Lysander. But, the person who was pointed to is telling me that he is Lysander. I'm now asking him we're Lysander is and he is pointing me to someone behind me and I'm seeing that that person is also not Lysander because he looks black and Lysander (or the one that I'm looking for) looks Puerto Rican. This happens about three more times and I am getting exhausted and tired of this. So, I'm asking the guy and the coral shirt how do I teleport. He's telling me they're just close your eyes and the vividly visualize where you want to be. I'm covering my eyes and closing my eyes and trying to visualize a cloud and sky area. But, when I open my eyes and I'll cover them, I see when I'm still back in the store. This goes on for two more times and now I'm trying a fourth time and the coral shirt character is telling me to just visualize anywhere else and another dream character in the store is also saying, " yes literally anywhere else", in an annoyed tone as if he just wants me to leave them alone. In my head I'm thinking, "Well, frick you.". I'm opening my eyes again and I'm still in the store. So, I'm deciding to just stop trying for now and I'm going to towards my right where there seems to be a lot of bookshelves and is kind of dark, the further you go into it.

Still stuck in this semi lucidity rut. I am on a mission to the center of the galaxy. When I get there I learn that I have been transported to a hell dimension. The universe around me was twisted. Red stars, black holes and continent sized chunks of land covered in screaming damned souls in rivers of lava being tortured by demons. An alien race like the borg (at least in that they used cube shaped ships and were cyborgs, but seemed like good guys past that) decided to assist me as I am being sent to kill a high level dream demon. Their cube shaped ships assemble into a 12x12x12 cube formation that is hollow on the inside consisting of 728 ships. They explain that the demon we are hunting is very powerful and he can teleport, slip back into the fabric of reality, or so on and they can project a field which restricts his ability to do so and puts him in a weakened state. But only if their ships physically interlock like this and form a shield. The good borg also explain that the hell universe outside will be very draining on their shields and that they can only do this for a limited time so I have to be quick. They assemble the formation around one of the continents. As the ships lock together the rivers of lava and tormented souls fade away and the continent changes to this “flat earth” style landmass with oceans, grasslands, beaches, and forests. I look down and see the demon standing on the beach. I land on the beach and he spawns minions, some kind of alien spider-like creatures (kind of like the bugs from starship troopers) that I never get a good look at. I spawn my own minions, powerful robots carrying large gatling guns firing some kind of smart bullets. I remember very distinctly looking back over my shoulder. Seeing the sky made out of the assembled cube spaceships and and my robot minions coming up out of some kind of higgs boat type landing craft. I then remember that a lot of good borg are risking themselves to trap this demon in a weakened form and I should not be distracted. I spawn my bow and kill the demon without much fanfare. The formation of ships disassembles immediately after, with the good borg stating that doing that was putting more strain on their starships than they would have liked. They explain that them killing that demon caused time ripples because the demon existed in multiple time periods at once. The effects on earth are negligible but they show me a map of michigan with different counties. The eastern side of the state looks more normal but the western side of the state is divided up into hundreds of thin horizontal counties. They explain that this was the layout the citizens and governing officials in michigan originally wanted but the demon manipulated how the borders were drawn to gerrymander the state and get corrupt politicians into office. Now that the demon had been killed the damage had been retroactively undone. The good borg explain that these types of missions are responsible for creating the mandela effect in people and that many people will remember the old boundaries and think its weird. I bid the good borg well and fly down. I am at a lodge restaurant with my father in michigan now, but it is still the same dream. Semi lucid, I say I don’t want to have more dreams about my father. The dream scene changes to my high school and I say “no, no! No school dream either!” but the dream scene doesnt change. I feel false memories come in telling me I need to go to my 9th grade english class but I push past them. I find Manei in the hall and say hi. We begin walking together and I notice she has a piece of computer paper with a color picture of uranus taped to her bottom. I rip it off and show it to her asking her if someone stuck it on without her knowing. She says no, that she just put it on there as a joke and people need to have a sense of humor about themselves. She then points out that the calk around the window we are walking by is new. That is because the last time someone touched her butt without her consent she threw them out the window and therefore it had to be replaced, and no boys harass her after heaving about that story because they are scared of her.
Autumn Competition 2023 - Night 2 1. Conjuring Flame (LD) I enter into a dim room and I'm standing on a slightly elevated platform overlooking a lower central area. My awareness rises and I say "I'm lucid in this place". As I say the words, I become lucid. "Yes!" A boy and his father, who appear of Indian decent, leave the central area and into a room to my left. I ignore them, thinking of scoring some points for competition. I'll focus on teleporting. I turn to my right, raise a few feet into the air, and fly into the wall. I enter into darkness as expected. I begin to visualize a forest, intending to go to a forest sanctuary. I continue to hold a visualzation of trees, yet nothing forms. I continue to sit in blackness. After some time, it begins to feel unsettling for a brief moment. I then remind myself of a previous lucid where I could have improved upon that area. I think of Andrew Holocek's advice to me as well. I continue to simply maintain awareness. I find myself in a dim square room. My arms appears to be pinned up at right angles. I continue to walk around a couple of times, then notice an open doorway. I walk down a dim corridor, make a left, and then notice I'm in...Meadow! I see the two double doors in the front and the glass window above. I decide to phase again. I go partially into the wall, yet it gives some resistance. I partially enter, close my eyes for a brief moment, then find myself phasing out the other end in front of the main house. The scene is very vivid in the night sky. I think back to a recent lucid in which I explored and found Joraggu's lair. I decide not to head down there and rather focus on points. I focus on Djinn transformation, but it doesn't feel as though I'm getting the full size; my shoulders and height don't seem to be enlarging like usual. I then think of mouse transformation. I head to the end of the walkway, near an area with plants, and shrink down instantly to roughly the size of...well a mouse. I hear faint mouse squeaks, and feel as though my head is situated in front of my dream body, as in a mouse's body. I explore the edge of the plant area for a moment, yet decide on my next goal: dilating time with an hourglass. I begin to revert as I wind my way around to find a circle of rocks enclosing a large shrub. The scene is very vivid with a dim blue hue to the rock circle. I continue to expect to find behind a section of rocks, but continue not to find anything on several attempts. I leave this goal and head toward the driveway. As I approach the mailbox, I snap my finger to go invisible. I see a group of about seven girls approaching as I near the mailbox. One head turns toward me and I worry that they may have detected me. I want to test the invisibility, so I walk directly in front of the group, roughly a foot and a half away. They gaze directly through me, oblivious to the fact that I'm right there. I feel as though I cleared the group, yet one of the girls on the end clips the end of the back of my shoe with her step. The group becomes angry and begins swinging frantically, trying to sense where I am and grab me. I scamper backward as an angry dream character continue to grab at where she believes I am. The dream becomes a bit unstable and I consider how to deter her. I think of element manipulation. The scene begins to fade to white and I visualize a fireball. A rolling mass of quite vivid white flame, with some black accents, erupts as the scene transitions to white, in the direction of the dream character. There is a slight blur to the edges as if where you'd see a blur due to intense heat. I have a false awakening in which I'm recollecting the lucid. 2. Oburu Migu (LD) I get out of the shower and notice a door propped open, giving view to a staircase.That's strange...this place feels...dreamlike...This is a dream! I'm lucid and begin making my way to the door. I see a large bottle of something on the edge of the desk and begin thinking of scoring points. I can drink this! Oh man...I hope this isn't soy sauce! I pick the bottle up, notice the red lable, and figure it's probably coke. I begin drinking and it taste similar to Coke or Pepsi. I drop the bottle, then begin thinking of earning more points. I'll try some telekinesis! I look at the bottle, extend my hand, and raise it a bit. It drops back down and I go another couple times before maintaining it statically in the air. I decide to head toward the stairwell and let it drop. The dream feels as though it's becoming unstbale, but I'm determined to maintain it. I shout: "Clarity now! Stabilize! Stabilize! This is MY dream! I decide when it ends!" The dream restabilizes and becomes more vivid. I turn around and head towards the staircase. I walk up the stairs and decide to transform into a mouse and rapidly shrink my body. I once again hear a couple of mouse squeaks as I explore the upper level of the stairs for a moment. I revert my dream body ands begin to transform into a Djinn. I feel my size increase to roughly nine to ten feet and my shoulder become massive. I feel lower body disappear into wisps of smoke and I begin floating across the scene. I head toward a window on the far edge of the right side of the next room. I see my reflection faintly and notice that I'm wearing some type of turban in the form. I see that my lower body is essentially tapering mist. I float through the glass and down to the grass area on the ground level. I see my shadow in distorted proprotions along with the Djinn's turban. I turn to my right and see an beatiful Japanese structure that resembles a monastery or a ...temple! The Mountain Temple! I'm excited to be back in the realm. I gaze ahead and the scene is absolutely beautiful a cyan/teal aura hangs over a structure of wood in the far distance, seemingly where they create bonfires. Another elongated monastery structure is to the right of the bonfire area, yet a bit closer, and another taller one is situated to the left. I need to get the name of the Mountain Temple! I approach the far side of the temple structure, turn and faintly, through the window and blinds, see a monk inside a room with long table set up in several rows. He appears to be of southeast asian decent and roughly five foot six or so. The room appears to be a dining hall of sorts at first glance. I phase through the window and blinds and approach the monk eagerly. He is sitting at the table with what appear to be several rolled up scrolls strewn in front of him, working on something. Excuse me, monk" I say with respect and reverence. "What is the name of the mountain temple?" He looks at me with only the slightest bit of surprise, yet answer with respect in turn. He says a name. "I'm sorry, can you repeat that?" Monk: "Oburu Migu" "Thank you" I bow to the monk and then head to my left to leave the temple room, back out into the temple ground in the night. I make a right and soon find myself at a street with a shop to my immediate right and several more across. There are many people milling around and someone drops a jacket in front of me, but I ignore it. I need to start thinking of some more dream goals - what can I do?I make my way across the asphalt street/walkway and notice a woman scooping ice-cream at an ice-cream shop. Quite a few people are gathered outside getting cones. I can't believe how vivid the scene is; it's as if I'm there in waking life. I'm intensely enjoying the feeling of being part of the realm, like this is a place I can come back to. I decide that I'll come back to this place. I approach the lady as she's scooping some chocolate ice-cream into the cone. I consider telling her I'm dreaming, but then think: That's so cliché; everyone tells dream characters they're dreaming in lucids. Why does that even matter? I instead decide to be...creative, persuasive, and enigmatic all at once. I say: "Excuse me ma'am. I'm from another world. Do you mind if I have some?" insinuating that I'd like it for free if possible. She smiles at me in agreement Ice-cream lady: "Of course!" she goes to scoop the last scoop. "Can I have some Rocky Road? I haven't had it since I was a kid." She agrees and begins to scoop ice-cream. I decide I should ground the dream a bit as I wait for her to scoop the ice cream. I begin rubbing some of the items on top of the counter, which appears to be napkin holders. She hands a cone of ice cream with the scoop of vivid rocky road on the top. I can see the chunks of chocolate in the scoop. She hands me the cone and I taste a bit. It's great! I try to knock off a little bit of vanilla that made it's way to the side. I turn to the tall male working to her left. "What's the name of this town?" Man: "It depends. It goes through several stages depending on how it's doing." He seems to be referring to some type of status of the town; it appears to change ranks depending on how the town is performing in several domains. Man: "It's either Garyn or Sharyn" He then explains that currently it's somewhere in-between, yet there's also a third ranking. Okay I'll call it Garyn-Sharyn "I'm going to use this as my dream hub!" I say with wonder as I look around. I look down the right side of the shop and notice that a very long walkway extends down into an area which resembles a mall of sorts. The mall area is lit up with bright lights and appears well maintained. "In what direction is the temple?" The main points diagonally to his right, toward a wall in front of the shop, yet in the general direction of where I remember coming from. I make a mental note of it, deciding to return. I begin to wake up.

Great start! Dream 1: I had a lucid but it was pretty railed, Was driving somewhere when my car almost goes head on with a truck but I kinda just walk away from it. I did some stuff with a friend and then I was rick grimes from the walking dead, trying to convince hershel to come back to the farm (which I’m doing in a subway instead of a bar). He agrees and me, carl, and hershel are out when a car hits me completely head on and I roll over. Wake up at a gas station when I try to imagine this whole scenario as a meme, and then drive away before going to a barber. He tells me that he got a note from Koschei saying “sorry for hitting your car”. Koschei is a PR character so I get lucid, I ask him where I can find her but he says he knows nothing else so I go away but lose lucidity. Teleporting to a house where the truck guy who isn’t Koschei apologizes, and I wake up. Dream 2: Not lucid this time. Was driving to Oregon with a family member where I was describing the last LD, and later woke up.
Autumn Comp 2023 - Night 1 1. Meadow Phasing (LD) I'm lucid in the middle of the first floor of the main house in Meadow. I'm standing between the chill room and the kitchen, and I see my brother on the far side of the kitchen. He's opening the fridge, his back to me, and looking for something. I decide to start scoring points for the competition and think of my three step task. I begin to fly up a few feet, quickly turning to the left in order to phase into the wall. I fully phase into the wall and begin thinking of teleporting. Hmm maybe I'll teleport to Syrano. I briefly begin visualizing the cliff area but think again...actually, I'll teleport to the Mountain Temple since that's where one of my personal goals is. I switch the visualization to the temple. I feel that I'm beginning to wake up. *False Awakening I find myself waking up on what seems to be the couch I went to sleep on, in the same position. Am I awake, or is this still a dream? I feel that I can begin moving, but don't want to risk stirring my physical body if I'm still in fact in a dream. I begin to "encourage/will" my body to slide off the couch. 2. Sliding Into Syrano (LD) My body begins sliding toward the floor and I'm lucid. Yes! I'm in a prone position, and my body slowly makes its way fully to the floor, curving around the area where the coffee table is. Okay, time to stand up I stand up, and I find myself in the middle of the first floor of the main house in Syrano. It's a bit dim, so I begin to stabilize by shouring "Clarity Now! ... Stabilize". It helps slightly. I begin to think of dream goals, and time dilation via an hourglass comes to mind. I look down toward the coffee table, imagining an hourglass to be there. The small dark figures on the table don't appears similar enough to an hourglass shape to warrant me looking closer. I turn to the table behind me searching yet again, but there's nothing that resembles an hourglass. I'll focus on something simple for now in order to score some points...I'll get some cocoa to drink!I imagine there is a mug to the right on the long cabinet and as I look in the direction and approach closer, I find a dark blue/green mug with some liquid in it. I hope it's cocoa I think as I pick it up, attempting to influence it. The liquid appears thin, and more watery however. I take a sip and it's pretty good! It tasks like a cross between chamomile and peppermint with a bit of sweetness to it. I carry the mug with me and begin walking toward the staircase, thinking of the next dream goal I want to focus on. I feel the handle of the mug in my fingers. I wake up. 3. Over The Class (LD) I find myself in a room facing a doorway. A teacher is situated within the doorway, facing me, with a line of student heading through. I suddenly realize I'm dreaming. I'm just going to fly over them...I'll score some points to. I fly to the left of the student and over the head of the teacher, through the doorway. I enter another square room with an open doorway to the right (1). I begin thinking of dream goals and consider teleporting somewhere. I float to the right, and wake up. Notes: (1) I believe this was actually the inside of the Mountain Temple. *Library Theme (NLD) I’m in the back of library area with several rows of books. A co-worker enters and I try to avoid being seen by heading down one of the isles as she makes her way to the end to start a conversation with a DC. I leave the area and head further into the library, which is far wider, containing shorter bookshelves, roughly 5 or so wide becoming progressively shorter. I make my way around the right side to the opposite end of the library.

The dream transition from a treasure hunting mercenary scene to a scene where I ended up tangled inside what appears to be recycled trash. The sky was grey and cloudy but without rain. I was having to maintain my balance as I continue walking on top of these spiral like vents in order to make my way out of this trashy labyrinth. As I'm doing so I begin to realize that I am dreaming and ask myself why I ended up here. Once i made it with the help of my lucidity. I began to think of what I should do as I could see now that I was out in the streets seeing a few other people wandering aimlessly. I decided to do the same right before I clench my hands together tightly and rub them together. I stated I am lucid dreaming a few times to not forget while stabilizing the dream. The grey cloudy sky had now become dark as night with a few clouds still being as clearly visible as they were in the beginning of the dream. I began to walk alongside the other dream characters. One of them being a woman dressed in yellow with flowers printed from side to side. She had spark a conversation between us and asked how I was and where I was going. I told her it is nice to meet her while we shake hands. When I looked into her eyes it was odd in a way where she seemed to have frozen in time and became unresponsive for a brief moment. I told her I didn't know and was simply exploring the environment. Her friends then laughed and the scene began to change again to a new place that seemed similar to a classroom hallway in school. When this happened I made sure to clench my hands together and rub them again to reinforce the thoughts that I am dreaming currently. I overheard a few people talking and followed the voices. It led me to a door and one student told me to open it. So I did then only to lose lucidity.
I am in a hotel or store and I put a photo of myself into a machine. It was a large machine looked almost like on of those old ATM machines in the bank built into the wall. It printed out a portrait of myself but it was blurred and not completely printed on the one side of my face. Then it printed out a few more photos of myself. It was only when I saw the photos I noticed I had two small braids in my hair one on either side of my temples. I wanted to redo the photo not only because I didn’t like my hair but because it did’nt print out correctly. There were two nice women working in there and I told them the machine wasn’t working properly. They were closing the hotel/shop I was in. I sat on a lobby couch and we started chatting and talking about life a bit. I then look on my iPad and the machine had sent a video. I clicked play and it was a video of my 20/30 something self talking. I looked very put together and I liked it. It continued playing memories. I thought “Wow, how nice this is!” Then it was a memory of me on a talk show and a women came out on stage that I had not seen in many years an old friend. I gave her a big hug. Someone handed us these aprons they were super cute and we put them on. I started thinking " wait… I remember those aprons my friend Laraina made them for me and two small matching ones for my daughters when they were little about 10 years ago, I didn’t get them on a talk show"! Then I started realizing that the memories I was watching were all pieces of my life reorganizing into a different context and not how it truly happened. I suddenly remembered AI and reading something about allowing AI into my computer to help with daily tasks such as typing, responding to emails, and organizing photos. As the movie continued there was a chase scene that appeared to be from some action scene. I didn’t recognize the actors but the what they were saying were phrases I had used and maybe posted online at some point. The audio was decently from my real life interactions but the two men and the scene I did not recognize. It was at this point I realized I was lucid. I was suddenly in the building I was watching the chase scene happening in. I started looking around the building it was very barren. There were white doors I opened one and there was a strange looking toilet. Only the toilet in a very small rectangular white room. I opened the lid and it was clean and empty. Then I was going to the next door when I woke up. In WL I went down stairs to make coffee and I turned on Youtube and the first thing that popped up was Sky New Australia Interviews “free-thinking” AI.
The White Room (LD) I wake farther into the room, and as I begin turning right I start thinking about wanting to become lucid. What if this is…I’m dreaming! I’m lucid and consider what I want to do. I don’t want to stay in the area, so I immediately decide to try teleporting, deciding on Syrano. I phase into the wall in front of me and everything goes black. I begin visualizing the cliffs of Syrano and they’re fairly vivid. I hold it for a short while with patience, yet nothing materializes. I wonder how long it’ll take. I white screen then pops up with blinking blue buttons. I wonder why it’s displaying. I then appear in front of a wall in a dim room. I’m not sure if it’s the same room. I turn and begin to explore, yet my lucidity slips.
1. Third Floor Tomes (LD) I find myself sitting on a dark couch in a dim room. This feels...dreamlike Nose plug...nose plug "Yes!!" I'm lucid and begin considering what to do, feeling the excitement. It feels a bit dim, so I shout "Clarity! clarity!" truly wanting the dream to become more vivid and stable. I then shout "stability!" and the dream begins to become both more stable and vivid. I consider meditating, but feel that I've been doing that a lot in lucids lately, and that I'll do something else. I walk up to a nearby counter. I begin narrating to engage working memory and say "this is going to last one hour... last an hour". I decide to leave the area by teleporting, and possibly finding a dream guide. I think of element manipulation, but don't bother trying to shoot fireballs. I see a dark door in the back and I head toward it to teleport. I head toward the back wall, phase through and enter a bright scene in full daylight. There's a two to three story brick structure roughly 30 meters away, situated on the far side of an asphalt lot. I remind myself I'm in full control, and can simply fly wherever I want with control. I raise up and head toward it. I mentally adjust how I'm moving my dream body - a dance between feeling that I'm moving toward the destination and that the destination is moving toward me. The dream begins to pull me upward, yet I remind myself I'm in control and swoop down. I turn toward building on the opposite side. There are several stories, complete with ornate cream colored balconies. I swoop down and land gracefully on the second story. I enter the building and begin to explore. I notice that there are several rooms on the floor, daylight streaming in the window, creating a yellow/orange hue. The doors are close and it seems to be a dorm type setting. I consider looking for what DCs are inside. I enter the first room and notice some ruffled covers. No one is there, so I enter the second room. I pull the covers back and notice a dark skinned female I don't recognize. I then decide to look for H. I enter the third room which has artwork on the door, seemingly done with various colors of crayon. I enter, pull back the sheets, and see a figure who looks like H. I small alien type creature then comes out and I back away. I say that she looks a bit like my wife. She states; "Most people are fooled by that" I feel relieved, and decide to explore more. I think of finding a tome to use as a dream item for element manipulation. I ask: "Do you know where I can find a tome shop" She states that there is a store nearby, similar to Best Buy. I think it's silly decide I don't want to venture that far into the dreamscape. I appreciate how long the dream is lasting and how stable it is. I feel like I can just hang out in these worlds... I then say to the dream: "Last an hour" I head out, deciding to travel to the third floor, imagining that it's a wizard's quarters - one who has tomes. I make my way to the third floor by floating up a spiral staircase. I think I'm waking up, but slip into a non-lucid. 2. The Dark Woods Wand (LD) I walk to the next room which has white walls and double windows with blinds at the far end. I'm thinking about wanting to get lucid Maybe...this is a dream I begin to look more intently at the environment, picking up on the dream-life quality of the windows. I'm dreaming! I turn around and head toward the room prior, considering what to do. I jog my memory, pulling up several dream goals, but don't have a location I want to teleport to immediately. I decide to enter the farthest room, where I believe more co-workers are. I sense my boss is there and feel it would be very interesting to ask her a question I make my way to the far end of the room, which has many tall brown standing desks strewn around. I don't see her, but sense she's to my sharp left. I turn and see her working feverishly at a standing work station. I walk over and ask her why she works so hard...why she does what she does. She essentially states that it's in her nature, how she's designed. She doesn't break concentration from her tasks as she explains, moving back and forth between various tasks on her desk. I make my way to the fart back right of the room and decide to teleport, phasing into the wall. I feel that I'm spinning rapidly, and feel that I may emerge on a ship caught in a maelstrom. I suddenly end up in Meadow, facing the Dark Woods. I see the pool in the center and the shed beyond, and simply fly past them, deciding to explore the Dark Woods. I see the dark edge of the woods and fly into the woods. Surprisingly, once I penetrate the outer layer, there is plenty of sunlight entering into the Dark Woods. Another body of water, similar to the pool, is directly in front of me. Beyond it, massive piles of what appears to be dirt have thousands of buzzing insects flying above. Two are situated in front of me and I exercise caution, floating beyond. I see a gray colored structure in the back of this area and decide to explore. I decide that this area contains a wizard of sorts who is possession of a wand. I feel that I can use this wand for element manipulation. I enter the building and hear the clinking of what appears to be a knight patrolling the area, on guard duty. I get the sense that it's animated armor. I snap my fingers, becoming invisible. I enter farther into the building, evading the animated armor, and ducking behind the first wall in the center area. I think of drinking hot chocolate, reflecting on scoring points in competition. i imagine a mug on the counter above me, grab a mug and drink a bit. It doesn't taste like much, but I'm not focusing too much on it. I exit the room through back door and make my way into an upper area which contains living quarter. To the right is a small passage which leads upward via very tight stairs I squeeze through the entrance, make a sharp right, and begin squeezing through the right of two small ladders upward. I sense a family above along with a dark wizard of sorts. I wake one of the two boys in the back and he approaches, yet doesn't see me due to invisibility. I continue to squeeze up, constrained by the sides and making noise, as he heads down the other way. I enter the small attic space and see a room to my right containing a baby sleeping. I decide the wand isn't there. I walk into the back right room containing a large bed with two sleeping figure, one of which is the wizard. I had to the far side of the bed, reach under, yet don't materialize anything. I imagine intently a chest is there, containing the wand. I reach underneath, pull out a dark wooden box, flip the lip, and remove the black cushioning layer. I take out the dark, rosewood color wand and begin to turn to phase through the wall to escape the room. I rouse the dark wizard and he grabs my wrist or slap something onto it. I begin to phase through the wall, thinking of the Mountain Temple. I believe I'm waking up, but have a false awakening. 3. My Subconscious (LD) I stand up fully in front of the two dream characters I'm speaking to, my awareness beginning to raise. I suddenly realize I'm in a dream. I say something similar to: "Later guys I'm going to explore" I begin flying upward and head a bit to my right, feeling the excitement and freedom. I turn to my left and see many DCs sitting at square metal tables, which extend out into the street. They appear to be outdoor patrons of a cafe, hanging out and talking. 'm feeling a bit silly and whimsical, and decide to shout out at the group: "F*** you guys!", laughing to myself Crowd: "What?..what...?" The groups are confused, and begins to whisper amongst themselves in hushed tones. "Relax guys, you're just my subconscious I see a built tan guy at one of the back tables, turning to talk to another DC. I consider what to ask the dream/DCs. "What is the best thing for me to be doing in my life?" I wait a few seconds, yet there's no immediate response. I wake up.

1. Lounge Flight (LD) I'm in a second story area which resembles a kitchen area, and many plants are knocked on the floor with green foliage strewn about. I look at several of the clocks on the appliances and notice the time displaying: :: ::. That doesn't make senseNose Plug...[I]I'm dreaming!!
