Fragment 1 (0.5):

There is a cake, or a pie. Lots of whipped cream on it. People are getting pied in the face.

Fragment 2 (0.5):


My grandfather's oxygen tanks. He has been tired lately, and I see that his oxygen is not hooked up. I think maybe that's why he has been so tired.

Dream 1: Airport mall (1 point)

I’m with some people, in a sort of mall-like place. We stop somewhere, and I see that nearby is a kiosk where some people from India or another part of Asia have been taking pictures and filming things to put online. I think they are somewhat popular on the internet. I want to go over and look more closely, but there are clear plastic sheets hanging from the ceiling as a sort of partition. There are low openings in the partition, that I could duck through. I make it to the other side, seeing that there are other people there. Then I get the idea that I’m not supposed to be there. It’s like an air force base, or an airport on the other side of security. I try to find a way back to where I was without getting in trouble. I succeed in this, by going through a door nearby (which might lead into a coffee shop).

Fragment 1: Worms (0.5 point)

There are some large worms somewhere. I’m standing there, seeing them.

Dream 1: Christmas and the First of the 3-Step Tasks (Lucid) [17 points]


I stop in to a store. They sell a variety of items there, and I like to visit them around Christmas. I tell them so, and it seems that I have been stopping there quite frequently. I think I leave this store, and start going somewhere. I might be following some people in cars, or something. We go down towards maybe a restaurant, and are either looking for a place to park or are trying to follow a road that goes this way. It seems kind of difficult to get through. I think I turn around at some point, and find myself moving along straddling a screwdriver as though it were a flying broomstick. Remembering previous lucid dreams, I think perhaps I can fly on this. At this point I realize that I have been assuming that I am dreaming, somehow becoming spontaneously lucid without realizing it, I guess [+ 10 points]. I think about the competition, and whether or not I should fly. I think instead I should focus on the 3-step task. My first step was to “interact with a DC”. I reach out and grab some nearby woman by the shoulder and say something like “hey, how’s it going?” She turns around [+2 points for interaction, +5 points for first of 3-step task], but then I start to lose the dream (or think I’m losing it anyway).

Dream 1: Miller Hall (1 point)

Walking along a college campus from a school I went to. I come across a building that in waking life was torn down several years ago. Apparently, they haven’t torn it down yet, and are letting people take things from the building. I go inside, mostly to see the place where I had some of my first classes as a Freshman. They seem to have changed it around a little, with the classrooms opening into the main hallway area, which is pretty wide. The hallway area has pew-like benches lined up for people to sit in. I go to a room to my right, I think (where, years ago, they were giving away a lot of geologic specimens). There are a bunch of wood and glass cases – small, maybe two or three times the size of a cigar box, and opening from the top. People are carrying these out. I ask what they are doing with them, and they say they will just throw them away if nobody takes them. These look like antiques to me, and are nice looking anyway. Some of them have old books in them. I am told we can take whatever we want from the building. I think that it will be fun to “loot” the building.

Dream 2: Water (1 point)

I go down to the basement of one of the houses I used to live in. There is water coming out of a kind of pillar. I think that this might somehow be related to God, maybe. Something about an apostle in the New Testament being washed, and this is the kind of water one could be washed in. I get the feeling that one could be made holy by this water. I start splashing myself with it, and then stand under it. But then it seems that this might just have been a shower installed in the basement. My Dad is around somewhere.

Fragment 1: Hospital Visit (0.5 point)

My grandfather is in the hospital. Family is going to visit him. I can see them – my aunt, I think, and a bunch of kids – on a digital picture frame or something.

Dream 3: Snake on a leash (1 point)

Some kind of class. We go out to do things in a large valley/drained lake. They don’t want us to get too far away, but they don’t mind if students are being carried by large birds. I have one of these large birds, but as I go it becomes a snake. The snake goes pretty fast, and seems to glide sometimes. We go along the hillside and I think this might lead into another dream scene in which I’m supposed to be photographing a woman in different locations. She goes down into a sort of pool of water, and I’m supposed to stand on a hill or balcony above her and take pictures. I’m having difficulty adjusting the camera so that it will photograph her, and I get the idea that I’m not supposed to change the setup of the camera. I move closer to the edge and try to angle the camera down, but then some sort of dignitary shows up. I think there are a bunch of people too, and they all block my view. Eventually, I go down to where the woman is, making my way through a sort of gym to get there. I set up the camera there. This seems to be a really sketchy photo/film studio. People appear to be filming pornographic scenes around us. We carry on as though this is normal.

Dream 4: Climbing (1 point)

Trudging through mud, speculating on how they must make boots that enable people to walk through deep mud, since people apparently have done it. I get to the base of a steep hill/cliff, and start climbing up. Someone is dumping old cars down the hillside that I have to avoid. He seems skeptical that it is possible for someone to climb up the hill. I have a path figured out though, and when he isn’t dumping vehicles down the hill I make my way up. This appears to have been near where the Lord Jesus was crucified. The guy dumping vehicles thinks maybe that’s how He “got away”. I point out that it would be pretty difficult to take oneself off of a cross and then climb up a mountainside. Not only that, there was a crowd watching, and it seems like someone would have noticed.

Fragment 2: Lucidlet [10 points]

Walking down a hill. Something makes me think I should do a RC, and I try to count my fingers. Sure enough, I get 7 or so on my left hand. I think I become lucid here, but the dream seems to end soon after.

Fragment 3: Painting (0.5 point)

A guy with a large painting on his wall. It’s pretty nice. He himself is an artist, but he didn’t paint this. He does modify it, however. It is a painting of a large Arabic-style door. He paints another door behind it, and himself in between the doors. But the painting of himself is somewhat cartoonish. Then he makes some more alterations, and the door now looks out into a cyberpunk nightscape.

Dream 4: 20’s party (1 point)

I’m doing archaeology in a town. I find a structure, and start flagging it out.

I have obtained an invitation to a party. The invitation appears to be something like three envelopes inside a bag or a larger envelope. This gives me admittance into a party in someone’s house. The party seems to be 1920s themed, and they have a record and record player with 20s jazz music. People are dressed in 20’s attire. I go inside, but I seem to be a little early. This might give me an opportunity to trim my facial hair, so I find a bathroom nearby. There is someone else in there shaving. I find a mirror and start shaving as well. My face has a lot of beard stubble, and as I look closer it seems that I also have daffodils growing out of my face. But when I look again I mostly just look like I have some beard stubble.

Dream 5: Thrift Store Meeting (1 point)

Walking through a thrift store near where my grandmother lives. I decide to go check out the bargain section, and then head to another section. I think I’m looking for games. On the way, I see the headmaster from my old high school. I don’t know if he recognizes me, and I kind of awkwardly try to avoid him while wondering if I should get his attention. Then I hear my brother, and realize that they are together. We end up meeting. The headmaster seems to be carrying fragments of a broken mug. We get to talking, and he seems to want to direct me to a job opportunity. But it’s not a temporary job, he says. The job has to do with a married couple in the Philippines. They might want a married couple to hire, actually. My mother shows up, and we aren’t sure if the headmaster is trying to fix me up with a girl from the Philippines with this job opportunity. I’m looking at pictures of this, and there are other pictures. I think I’m hoping my mother won’t think I’m just looking at women on a dating site.

Fragment 4: Gas (0.5 point)

A man and a woman were sharing a bed (not sure they were a couple, they were just in the bed). The woman is sitting on the edge of the bed, and the
man has just woken up. Apparently he has passed gas, and it was so bad that he woke himself up and drove the woman out of bed.

Fragment 5: Spaceship (0.5 point)

Something about a spaceship. It might be under attack. I think it’s a video game, and I leave it for a while and then come back to find that the ship is OK. It had been going really fast – way too fast, I guess.

About 80 years ago, aliens have already entered earth and started influencing the planet through its lifeforms and technology. Some hid among people, others among animals. Eventually all lifeforms on earth had earth and alien variants, and as time passed they began revealing their differences. About 50 years ago people and animals were found to have alien DNA mixed in, animals with a higher percentage were more monstrous. Still unaware that the new DNA was from aliens in space, outposts and labs were set up in the wilderness to study the altered animals further. About 30 years ago all of these outposts were overrun, and the existence of aliens was made known to the public. Humanity has been working with the aliens and they have become the norm in this world. Within the last 10 years, the aliens revealed that there were other species coming to earth and we needed to speed up our progress to take part in interplanetary matters.

As part of advancing the earth’s progress, we needed to recover the overrun labs. The labs were in very different environments across the world, so we flew by plane and travelled by ship for some. I was in a team of five, three being human, one alien, and one alien that appeared human. The alien was knowledgeable of the alien wildlife and the one that appeared human was a former scientist at one of the labs. On the human side there was one who came from the military, one who had all the technology needed to find these labs, and me with being a more physical fighter. While the military man had several guns, I had a large sword with a gun along its shaft. Usually he could take care of whatever animals were in our way, but I took care of the ones with skin too thick for bullets. We ran into dinosaurs, which came as a result of the DNA experiments but were 100% from earth. The alien creatures took less earthlike forms, some moving like insects while being the size of bears, some having gills while living in snow, and others imitating the long gone scientists.

While in the labs I had to fight off some monsters and we would take turns showing each other how we did our part for the team in case any of us became incapacitated. I was able to use the binoculars that showed the lab past all the jungle and one of the aliens showed us a small tab that once stuck into a creature allowed us to intuitively understand its genetic makeup. While most of the outposts were there for the surrounding alien creatures, some studied alien phenomena that were observable from those locations. One was an observatory, and being earth, all the nearby planets were those we have in real life. It was possible to observe some planets from nearby stars, the nearby star systems being called something like Fulga, Kiros, and AAV. These stars each only had one alien species, so we named the stars after their main planet.

Another location was a lab that still had material we needed to retrieve. We were able to pull information out of its computers, and the material turned out to be what appeared to be a sharp stone with an eye on it. It was contained in a glass tank, and once we retrieved it my team was sent back to the city. Since I was the one that handled the artifact, I carried it to a meeting with our overseers and a famous actor. They said the artifact was perfect for the celebrity, so they had me open the case with the artifact in front of him. The eye looked at each of us and jumped at my face, tearing away my eye so it could take its place. The overseers then admit that the artifact granted abilities, and the actor’s ability to comprehend so many roles made him a perfect match for the mentally controlled artifact. Since I was chosen in his place, I was placed on a spaceship sent to the planet Fulga with a new team. The celebrity was brought anyway, so I got to know him on the trip.

I had some hypnagogia and then a lucid dream. I always find myself in bed, lying in the same position. The place was different though, it looked like a hotel. At first it was dark and I even had my eyes closed so I couldn't say where I was. Then I opened them and turned my head to the right/up. There was a window, closed, from which no light came in, made up of two panels. There I understood that I wasn't in my room.
I was lying on a fairly comfortable double bed. The duvet, like the pillow and the blankets, I think were white. I felt a certain pressure on my back; I started to think it was someone. I wanted to make sure who it was, but this person spoke first. I recognized her from her voice: an irl friend of mine, who I'll call Ca. I don't remember what she said, but I remember that she spoke in a low and slightly childish tone (as she sometimes does irl).
I tried to stay aware of the environment, so as not to waste this opportunity for lucidity.
Now. During the hypnagogia, in addition to following it, I was thinking about what I had to do: control an element, for the competition on dreamviews. But in this dream I do something completely different. I even remembered it, but I decided that I wanted to kiss Ca 💀. I try to get up, with a bit of fear that something would happen (like that I couldn't move, pain...), but I block the intrusive thoughts and sit on the bed, still with the covers on. Ca does the same. When I got up I felt a strange sensation, but I ignored it.
To the right of the bed where we were, there was a space and then a single bed. It's basically my aunt's guest room.
To make another movement (which I don't remember) the same thing happened: fear of making a mistake, intrusive thoughts blocked and problem solved.
Now I tried to grab her a**, and I succeeded with my right hand. Only she moves away, telling me in a slightly sensual voice "Noo". But I insist. I reach out to her back and lower it, but I can't reach anything. It's like Ca's back is really long.
For a moment I doubt it was a boy, but I chase away this unfounded thought. She tries to move away, but I've changed my goal and I want to kiss her. I try to grab her (body, like hugging) once but nothing. After a while, I make sure we fall off the bed. She's underneath and I hold her head so she doesn't hurt herself. You can hear the thud, but I haven't felt any pain (and neither has she). I thought about saying, "See, I'll protect you too," but in the end I didn't say it. I bring my lips together to kiss her, but she has her face turned to her left. Then she turns around.
I was ready.
Our lips touch.
The first sensation was that her lower lip is moist, a little wet. It's a feeling I've never felt before, but it was really nice. I had started well and was continuing well too. We continued kissing for a little while until the dreamstarted to turn black. I remained in limbo for a little while, where everything was black, and I woke up.

This dream lasted about three to four minutes. I was with one of my friends, and we were watching something. After she left to go to the bathroom, I woke up—and then I DEILD back into the dream. I was stabilizing for what felt like two or three minutes, running my hand across the walls, floors, and other surfaces. It worked to a decent degree, but I kind of forgot that I wanted to try to use multiple senses to stabilize. I wasn’t really expecting to get anything here, so my plan wasn't in my head. I just went on autopilot—but autopilot seemed to work. The dream got quite vivid. After I felt like it was in a pretty good place, I stopped stabilizing. I think I wanted to summon something, but the dream immediately ended after I stopped stabilizing.

I also want to investigate the possibility that I go into a FA rather than waking up. It might be that after stabilizing FAs rather than full wakeups happen (at least for me).

Here we go!

Dream #1 (Non-Lucid): I was at Walt Disney World, doing single rider and the System Formerly Known as FastPass to get on lots of rides.

Dream #2 (Fragment/Hypnagogic Imagery): My brain played to me the following lovely names, telling me that they are good names for women in stories: Chelsea, Lotion (!!!), and Dawn.

Dream #3 (Lucid): I was heading home. I arrived. I lived in a neighborhood in California, consisting of 3 houses with connected backyards. I opened the wrong garage door -- WHOOPS -- and sheepishly went back to mine, but I couldn't find it.

Then I was suddenly in Six Flags Magic Mountain. Somehow, this triggered my reality check. I was with T. but couldn't see her, which was annoying. I could only feel her presence. Anyway, I did the check, and thought "I think I'm awake". But I just kept thinking, how on earth did I randomly get teleported to Magic Mountain? T convinced me to do a reality check again and this time I realized I was dreaming.

At first, despite knowing that I was dreaming, I still kept looking for my house. Then, my fuzzy brain went NO you can do whatever you want! I completely forgot about the order of my three-step tasks and we just went to try casting a portal. This...Woke me up.

Dream #4 (Slightly NSFW, Non-Lucid): This lady was stripping in front of a group of guys in order to prove a point about sexism. I think I was just an observer; I was not in the group. I woke up shortly after this one.

Spoiler for GROSS DREAM WARNING:

Peeing all over the restroom

(I'm overcoming shy bladder irl so that bleeds into my dreams)
I was in a restroom of a market I was shopping at when for whatever reason, I decided that I was going to pee all over the entire bathroom. I was peeing for so long that I started peeing out air, then tiny pee bubbles filled the whole room up. I tried to leave but all of the bubbles were hitting my face so I have to stop moving. Grossed out I figured the only way to leave was to teleport out back into my car, so I did.
Thankfully I didnt actually pee myself irl

Rained out at work.

I was sitting on a bench at work(I work construction so it was outside and mostly dirt)when it started raining.
I tried to hide from the rain drops but it wasn't working, it was picking up. I ran to the nearest building to take shelter. Inside it was really dark and I could see a woman laying down in a bed, trying to be polite I ignored her and found myself a chair to sit in.
"hey!" the woman shouted
I glance over to her.
"do you wanna..." She starts wiggling her tongue in the air.
"No." I try not to interpret what she's implying
"That's alright, you'd be surprised how many guys would."

Apartment complex raid

I woke up to a commotion outside my apartment and ran over to the window. (I'm on the second floor.)
There was a group of trouble makers outside with chemicals and a sprayer. I grabbed a couple of heavy drinking glasses and ran outside. They were on their way up the staircase when I threatened to pelt them with the glasses.
They backed off but continued their shenanigans elsewhere. I wrote down one of their names.
Some time passed and I can't remember everything that happened, I was talking about someone who got in a wreck to someone else.
I went back outside and saw they were still causing trouble. At this point I thought they were probably going to kill someone with what they were doing so I threw the glasses as a warning. They shattered on the ground outside but it didn't deter them. I went back inside and was thinking I was going to have to get a gun or something, instead I fell asleep.

Escape Room?

I woke up and immediately did the nose pinch and became lucid.
"Okay don't think about the fact that I'm dreaming too much. Just go outside the room"
It was pretty dark but I could make the door out, there were two padlocks on it that I chose to ignore.
I tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge. I started losing control, I couldn't even move my arm to open the door anymore.
I looked back at the door and acknowledged the two pad locks and I was able to reach over to them and pull them off, after doing so I was allowed to open the door.
On the other side were three other doors and a hallway. Each of the doors had a 3 by 4 grid of numbers and other contractions on them. I decided it was best to ignore it and move on. Down the hallway was a gym. I flew up and grabbed onto the net of a basketball hoop. gravity was doing its best to bring me back down so I landed. I did a couple jumps and I landed back down every time instead of flying like I wanted. I had to jump then hold my breath to stay in the air.
As I flew down the next hallway the dream began dissolving.
I reached out in front of myself and looked at my hand and fingers, beginning to spin around noticing the changing background. It brought the dream clarity back.
I saw a mirror as I was flying and looked into it, I saw a very realistic version of myself in skydiving pose. Following me like a normal mirror would but I was in sitting position while flying.
"I gotta get more points somehow"
I saw a gas station shelf and ran over to it and found a variety of wrapped foods. I picked up a everything bagel flavored soft pretzel in a blue plastic wrapper, tore the packaging off and began eating it.
It tasted very good and for a moment I thought about trying to breathe it in and see what happens but decided I didn't care to find out.
Started walking away and saying "Store this dream in my long term memory please!" a couple times hoping i would remember everything I've done so far. I repeated the phrase a couple more time as I was walking and the dream faded away faster than I could stabilize. I woke up.

I’m talking to Bran in Meadow main house and he hands me his blue green guitar. The strings are torn up. Dream. Nose pinch. Breeeaathe. I look at the clock, then glance back. The numbers warble. I’m lucid. Competition Time. I walk to the far end of the kitchen and glance at the fridge. I may as well eat something. I open the fridge, deciding to use electronics - possibly turning on extra light. I tap the interior of the right door, yet nothing happens. I look at the upper shelf as lights pour out from the fridge. I see a tub of ice cream and grab it, quickly turning away from the fridge and heading back across the kitchen. I don’t bother to get a utensil and simply scoop it out with my hand and eat it. It’s pretty good - similar to a cookies and cream flavor. It’s kind of nasty that I’m eating it with my hand, but…whatever. I consider phasing into the wall, then teleporting, yet the visuals begin to fade. I run into the wall right as the dream goes to void. I hold my awareness, imagining a scene with crystalline structures appearing.

Regained Lucidity
I’m in a dim area that resembles an office. This feels…dream-like. Nose pinch. Breathe. I’m lucid.
I consider what control to use next and quickly flip into a one arm handstand to use super strength. I begin jumping up and down using the one arm. I stand back up and walk forward. I sense some type of figure running ahead in the next room and curving around the corner. I spot his shadow. I pursue him, imagining going into ninja mode, sprinting forward. I decide to go for full transformation. I shrink and turn into a flying creature, somewhat resembling a bat. I feel that the shape isn’t quite accurate, so I go for dragon form. I expand and begin flapping my wings. I look into the door to see my shadow and see the massive dragon head in shadow. I then revert to humanoid form and fly into the hallway to my right.
As I head around the corner I see a couple of metal filing cabinets situated against the right wall. I go for a full phase. I walk into the front of the first cabinet and pop out through the side. I then repeat it on the next filing cabinet to make sure I did it perfectly. I then walk down the hallway a bit farther and decide to practice some zazen. I sit down in meditation posture and begin focusing on the far wall. I stabilize my awareness for a moment and breath. I get up after a few seconds to ensure everything stays stable. I head toward the door, yet the dream goes to void. I hold my awareness, imagining appearing in Nervaru Forest. After a short moment, I appear in a sprawling, partially outdoor area with massive concrete structure throughout. It appears to be some type of city center an many people are milling around. Large concrete pillars with golden orbs on the ends are protruding from the ground as well as descending form the ceiling. I heart to a raised platform, up a small walkway. I see a female dreamling, pick her up with one hand, and fly her to a lower level, dropping her off. I then ascend to another raised area and see a smug looking guy with sunglasses walk toward me and I tap him on the side of the head, laughing. I head down a bit farther, repeating “I'm dreaming…I’m dreaming” a couple times.
I decide to hit the mass tk for the third 3-step. I look toward several of the golden orbs with square concrete slabs attached. I move one of them across a ceiling area, then another, then another. I decide to tk a much larger object, so I turn to my left and quickly spot a massive golden orb with a square concrete block attached. I begin moving it from roughly twenty yards away, and it picks up momentum. I hurl it about twenty yards to the right and it smashes into structure in the center of the city area.

I found myself in a hotel talking to what I perceive to be my co-workers. I congratulated him on his promotion and we continued to chat for a bit till I took a little break to go to the restroom. In the restroom I entered a stall to handle my business and as I was doing so the restroom door broke down and I could hear two people arguing.

That's when one of them broke my stall door before leaving the restroom. I felt embarrassed and quickly got up to attempt to close the broken restroom door. As I sat back down I looked up to notice the roof ceiling of the restroom was gone. Revealing the dark night sky filled with stars and a crescent moon. I began to question the situation and realized that I must be dreaming.

I sat further thinking how the hotel looks similar to a hotel I visited last year for a family members wedding, That's when I lost lucidity.

I am watching a star wars movie, yet at times also a semi-active participant in the sequence. This is supposed to be the 11th movie in the star wars movie series.

We are on this huge ship. It seems mon calamari in design, reminding me of the MC85 from The Last Jedi, though it has "wings" and a sort of bulbous dome-shaped nose that flares out rather than the beaked design. This ship seems to be a giant heavily defended battle-carrier with hangar decks in its wings. The large dome structure is a powerful forward shielding system.

We are above some planet, seems like a tropical island/archipelago type world with rings and two or three small moons. Blue and turquoise seas and chains of lush green islands under white clouds and visible cyclone like storms. We have some small escort ships that I don't get a good look at and go into hyperspace.

We end up being forced out of hyperspace by some other ship in deep space, no planets or stars are nearby. There is a large fleet of imperial/first order/insert whatever bad guy successor faction existed in this dream facing us down and we are unable to go back to lightspeed and thus forced to engage in combat.

There are new Star Destroyers. They are the standard gray and have the arrowhead shape with the hangar in a "notch" on either side and rear hyperdrive housing like a venator-class star destroyer. But these ships lack any sort of bridge tower and seem to be huge, maybe two or three times the size of a standard ISD. Instead of a bridge there is a sort of staircase structure along the centerline of the ship with the main guns placed up along it leading to a sort of large dome structure. The design also seems to be mirrored top-to-bottom and these ships seem more inclined to fully 3d combat than any other SW ship which generally operates with a recognized "up". When the ships engage in combat they while appearing to move 'slowly' due to their size are inclined to roll and move in the third dimension to try and get better positioning.

There is also a ship that looks like the mandator-IV/siege dreadnaught from TLJ but is only has a single giant gun rather than a pair of them.

This swiftly turns into a large scale space battle. We deploy our fighter wings and we have some big guns of our own on the giant battlecarrier to fight the other large ships. I have some authority as to how things are playing out but this sequence focuses on a series of pilots in various ships. There is a space fighter called an 'H wing' which looks almost exactly how you'd imagine.

This battle sequence goes on for a long time focusing on different pilot characters engaged in the space battle. The large battle carrier is attempting to avoid being flanked as though its shields are immensely strong, able to take anything the hostile fleet can throw at it, the shields can only be that strong if they are concentrated on one area of the hull at a time. It seems like I am able to handle the situation competently enough, we take a few hits to the hull on the starboard side and hanbar bay where the sheild is penetrated but the ship's core systems remain operable and the fighters are able to destroy several enemy vessels.

...

There was another dream on the morning of the 12th but it was pretty boring. I was in a bar or club type setting trying to hide the fact that I had wet myself.

4/13/2025

I am in a lucid state in some kind of combat. This seems like another superpowered character (another Viltrumite/invincible esque fighter). I am flying high above the clouds but dive down over a mountainous region. Very picturesque, snowcapped mountains, rivers, lakes, and tall pine trees. I remember I flew low and then straight into the side of a mountain. My pursuer was lagging behind by quite some distance. I used the staff or command line to delete a section of the mountain. A horizontal slice just a few meters in height.

I think this scenario was inspired by this.

I vividly remember flying through this gap. The command line cut the rock smooth, like polished stone created a marbled pattern on the floor and ceiling. My pursuer followed me through. However I had timed it right such that I managed to escape out the far side before the mountain fell back onto its base. There is an immense sort of 'clack' and a large shockwave radiates out snapping fully grown trees and blowing me off course, messing up my flight pattern and I land in a mountain lake.

LUCID: Secret Street

See the secret street. It steals one away from tourist traps and lofty lodgings a-glimmer. They prey on starving wallets and sweet sheeple minds. Stride the secret street up into the lull of a desolate shire. Cross into the curl of a sun bleached grin lined with faded lights screaming Come On In!

Just beyond the yaw lies an ancient way of steely playgrounds, glimmering arcades, and music yanked from distant yesterdays. An elegant swirl of gold frosted stairs leads ever upward and then we are there. Rivendellian hall of golden fires, unceasing spirits, unfaltering food.

See them now, they three. Especially he, who left this life behind. Their chatter and laughter rekindle a spark, relighting my heart where once only yawned an imploding dark and festering shriek. Try steal the scene with canon fire. A barrel too narrow can't capture all. Refocus. They have lingered on.

Upon fur topped bunks he sits and grins. Finally capture reflections of him. Now it's they three and me. Reluctantly leave the swell of the secret street. There tilts a sign that rustily screams intersection of Tragedy and Queen. Now back into the bite of the beast that chews away all worth.

Moon has fallen. Great statues shake. They groan and quake. A gargoyle sheds graven skin, growls, grows, spreads its wings. Glare into each others emptiness.

Reassure my trio, my reformed katet, "It's okay. I know how to stop it. I've dreamed this before..."

Lucidity storms.

"I'm dreaming now..."

Wake.

Happy Lucid Dreaming Day. Adding the couple of lucid encounters I had this month so far.

10th

A shifty sound. Wake! Behold gentle night and a strange shadow that shivers midst shadow. Rectangular head upon skeletal frame. Stare into the glare of too tiny eyes. Grimace at the sight of dagger lined lips. "It's a dream. Are you trying to scare me?"

Wake

Sit up. "Still dreaming." Look for the thing. It is gone. "You can't scare me," I sing to whatever will hear. "I am invincible as long as I have this..." Put out my palm. Nothing. Try three more times and finally flourishes my totem. A crystal ball enwrapped in waves of flames floats above my flattened palm.

Wake

Sit up. "I was lucid. Must write this down." Reach for my journal. "Is this still a dream..."

Wake

Sit up. "I was lucid." Reach for my journal. Scribble the shapes of my dreams.

This nightmare happened 2 years ago, but it had such an impact on me that I decided to write about it. It also happened during a really stressful time of my life, which I've noticed is a pattern for my lucid dreams.

There's a few things in this nightmare that almost never happen in my other dreams/nightmares:

• I dream from multiple counsciousnesses/POVs
• I die multiple times
• I feel the pain that is induced
• I see what happens after death
• I possibly experienced Astral Travel and went to the Astral Plane
• I am aware of my past lives and how they died

The nightmare:
It is night. I think 9 - 11 pm. It starts with me being in the consciousness of a woman. I somehow know what I'm doing, what I am supposed to do, what my purpose is and who is my team. I know that I am in a secret group that is revolting against the government, which is supposed to be evil and corrupted. With a group of people, I am sent on a mission to enter a government building (which is highly secured by the authorities). As images of it flash through my mind, I know that we are highly equipped for this occasion. I'm also aware that we are dressed in a very late 90's/early 2000s dystopian sci-fi/tech style, and I think that's when i start becoming slightly lucid, because I remember thinking "Oh, we look like that movie from the real world, The Matrix", and feeling weird after thinking that. Like something isn't right. But I brush the feeling off since I have something very important to focus on.
Me amongst my teammates enter the building, each one of us going through a different entrance (it flashes through my mind again). We are looking for something, I think it was some documents or something to do with classified information. At one point, I see government agents entering the room I am in, running towards me. I run away, while alerting my teammates trough a mic I had. Now, we are all trying to escape the security, in order not to get killed. I enter an elevator and go to a different floor, thinking I'm safe. I get caught off guard when I exit the elevator, seeing a toddler-sized worm creature in front of me. It was staring at me (even though it had no eyes), drooling. It had a round mouth full of sharp teeth. I was frozen from fear. It jumps on me, and starts eating my abdomen, and biting and pulling out my intestines. It was very bloody and gory, and I completely felt all the pain that it caused me. It was pure agony, a type of pain I've never experienced before, and I just wanted it to end.
After the creature kept going for a short while, suddenly, everything stopped. My consciousness is now in the body of a different teammate (a man this time),and that's when I become lucid.

I realize that my consciousness transferred to another body because the woman I was before had died (due to the worm creature eating and ripping her intestines apart).
I am now highly stressed, knowing my teammate had died, and alert my teammates while finding a plan to run away. I am aware that the security is coming towards me, as I know where they are (having visions from my former body). This time, I don't take the elevator, going instead down some stairs. I enter a room where I meet my teammates. I tell them that our other teammate had died, and that we have to leave now. But I get caught off guard by the security entering the room. They run towards us. While a few of my teammates get to run away, they manage to catch the rest of us, including me. They stab me through my abdomen with a sawback machette. It is again very bloody and gory, very realistic, and I feel all the horrible pain as I watch, in pure shock, all the blood oozing out of my wound. This time, I can feel myself quickly dying, and as my vision fades, my only thought is "Damn it, I failed again. I can't fail the next time." (so I somehow knew that my consciousness would transfer to another body?).
Now, my consciousness is transferred to (again) another man, which is the supposed boss of the team. I am very panicked, being on the run. I am afraid that I won't be able to protect the rest of my teammates. And my fears came true. We had entered the elevator, going to the last floor, as we had planned to escape through the rooftop. When we exit the elevator, we get cornered by the security and their boss. I watch in horror as they kill all of my teammates, keeping me for their last kill (again, very gory, very realistic and bloody). I now realize that I am hopeless, and I have failed: all of my teammates are dead, our mission had failed, I was about to get killed, and there would be none of us left. The security boss and his agents are very calm, yet clear about their intentions. As I am cornered, I am forced to sit down on a bench behind me. The boss explains to me that he's going to kill me, and my consciousness would be transferred to an unknown person in the future. I am somehow slightly calm and accepting of my fate, only being worried about who I'll be in the future.
The boss gives me 2 options to die: I can cooperate and let him "peacefully" kill me, or fight back (but it would be way harder and more painful). I choose the "peaceful" option, as I do not wish to struggle anymore.
The boss puts a special glove on. It is very thick, made of copper and gold. At the fingertips are small little glowing dots. He slowly passes his hand through my knee (as if my knee was some sort of projection or transparent?), and while his hand passes trough my knee, I feel this indescribable pain, worse than any of the ones I've felt before. It's stabbing, and I can feel it in my skin, flesh and bones.
My vision slowly fades to this blue, bright galaxy.

I'm still lucid. In the dream, I somehow knew that I was in the Astral Plane. At this point, I know I died again, and I have no other body to go into, so I must travel to the future. I travel at the speed of light towards some place, so fast that my vision starts fading to white.

I then slowly open my eyes. AGain, I am still lucid. It is night again, and I am in some dystopian, riverside cyber city. I get a vision of me walking down the street. I am a young teenage girl, and next to me is my pet: a robot dog. I am thinking about all of my past lives and what happened to them, not forgetting my mission. I still have the same mission, but this time I'm completely alone: there's only me and my cyberdog. We are heading to some big corporate building, where I know some government member is having dinner. We enter the building, and head to the restaurant. I spot the person I'm looking for, indeed eating at a table, talking to some other elite. They seem to be having a serious conversation. I sit at a table close to theirs, and order some food.
As I wait for my food, I eavesdrop on their conversation: they're talking about a plan to stal all of the private information of citizens and implant spyware in their devices. Then they notice that I seem suspicious, since we were the only people in the whole restaurant, and I chose to sit so close to them. Hearing their remark, I go to the bathroom to prevent drawing more attention (but I later find out that I did quite the opposite). I look in the mirror, looking at my face, and the cold neon lighting. As I looked in my eyes, I was thinking to myself how weird and interesting this dream this is, and hoped that I'd dream of it again, so I could come back to this universe and continue my mission (so I was aware that the dream was gonna end, and I was aware that I had the power to end it).
I am suddenly aware that the elites called the cops, and I had to leave. I wasn't in a hurry, as I knew they weren't even there yet, but still didn't waste my time, as I didn't want to risk dying again.
I run out of the building, my cyberdog following me. We get out, and I suddenly have some weird type of electric roller skates (like in JSRF I think?). We climb on one of those utility poles, and skate away on the power line.

I remember feeling the wind on my skin, having this extreme sense of freedom I haven't experienced much times in my life, and enjoying the moment. I think I was in a pure trance, in ecstasy. And I decided that's how I wanted my nightmare/dream to end. And I ended it. I don't know how. I just ended it, and then I woke up.


Waking up and impact of the nightmare:
When I woke up, I could still feel the pain in my abdomen, intestines and knee (from being eaten alive, being stabbed, and then whatever that last death was). It was, again, this horrible pain I had never experienced before, just like in my nightmare. I was lucky that some ibuprofen got rid of the pain. I was also in deep shock, and the whole day, all I could think about was this nightmare.
This nightmare had left me in shock for a few days. Also, this happened during a time of my life where I was going through a lot of stress; I was severely depressed, in constant stress and anxiety, with undiagnosed and untreated ADHD, drank at least 2 monsters a day, and slept only max. 2 hrs a day (I would sometimes sleep only 40 mins, or none at all; I had to wake up at 5 am and take 8 hrs of classes every day).

During this time, I would almost never have dreams; but on the rare occasion I did have them, they were always gory, bloody, shocking nightmares. I think I was going insane: my mental and physical health was deteriorating, and my nightmares were a manifestation of my mental state.
This nightmare and another (which I'll write about later), were the ones to change me and make me get my life together. I think I was kinda traumatized by them lol, because I decided I NEVER wanted to experience something like them again. Ever since, I slowly fixed my sleeping schedule. I now get 8 - 10 hrs of sleep daily, and have been for a while.
Ever since, I haven't had a nightmare like that again, and I'm happy to say so.

But I still have questions: why did I feel the pain so well? Why did I still feel the pain after I woke up? Did I travel to the Astral Plane? Was it Astral Projection? Is it possible to return to that universe if I wanted to?
I don't know...

I am in the park where IWL I jog alot walking with Marcus and talking about something. This situation leads me to do a state check (nose pinch) and become lucid. I remember I really had to focus on breathing while I was doing it as the sensation of breathing was very unusual. I've had nose pinch RCs fail when (I believe it happens I'm very deeply in sleep and my dream-body breathing becomes disassociated with my waking body's breathing.)

I decided I would experiment with my staff which is supposed to help with dream control. I summon it though it takes some finagling to get its appearance right. At first its a large staff padded with thick foam and fake leather, sort of like some sort of training weapon. I feel this is symbolic of me still being in "training" with this experimental tool, and I am consciously aware of this. I manage to change its form first to just a wooden stick in the proper shape of the staff and then its proper metal-like construction though it seems too small in scale.

I am also consciously aware of (on some level) how the lucid dreaming competitions tend to award a lot of points based on dream control. Some part of me wants to just get into a lucid dream and fire off and demonstrate as many dream control abilities as I can as quickly as possible not really caring about the plot of the dream or carrying out any tasks or narratives. Though a sort of higher part of my consciousness says that this is cheesy or 'cheating' the contest. I don't cheat. If anything sometimes I feel guilty about counting dreams where I wasn't fully lucid or other 'jank' stuff and only want to count dreams where I was genuinely and truly lucid.

We must have been walking and talking for quite a while as I fiddled with the staff, because we were at the opposite end of the park maybe half a km away. I'm still not satisfied with the staff though I've managed to bring up its command interface.

This guy comes down he looks like Conquest from Invincible. (I'm not sure why the antagonists of this show keep cropping up as I haven't actually watched it and am only vaguely aware of it from some friends on Discord who have shared clips and talk about it, but dreams are like that and sometimes residue that you don't consciously focus on gets a major presence in the subconscious.) We had a dialogue.

Conquest: "I'm here to conquer your planet in the name of the Viltrum Empire"

"I'm busy. You will go away."

Conquest: "You don't understand. I'm here to take over your pathetic planet."

"You are an antagonist. What do you really represent?"

He talks a little bit more but stays 'In character' and doesn't seem to understand that this is a dream. Eventually he gets annoyed and flies at me to fight, grabbing me and plowing me through a field making a long trench in the dirt and knocking over some trees. We tangle for a bit with punches and kicks. I can keep up or am maybe even a bit faster speed-wise but this guy is monstrously stronger and its like punching and kicking a brick wall. I took a punch with his robotic hand to my left arm that really hurt. I felt like my arm was broken and I was even sore after waking up. When I get an opening I pull the staff back to me, with it flying into my hand like Thor's hammer and whack him in the head. No time for the staff's actual function I just hit him with it.

I get up and start flying to get some distance. The park and city layout are wrongly and we're over a large stretch of forest that doesn't exist IWL, though the layout of my town seems roughly right though stretched and expanded in many ways. Time to actually test this thing out.

I concentrate on the staff. Despite being a magical staff it executes commands in a very procedural way, its almost like how Monkey's command console. I have to think of precisely what I want for it to work. When I fire from it it displays something like:

Function Voxel_Base_Set_Rect_Prism;
SetDimension (5000,5000,5000);
SetMaterial (Osmium);
KineticTensor (False);

He flies up to me and I generate the cube of solid metal about the size of a house. It starts as a purplish-pink outline and then becomes solid shiny blue-gray metal right as he flies into it. Then gravity takes over and the box falls on top of him and onto the ground in a parking lot with an immense crash. I spawned a second box with the KineticTensor set to true. This attaches the box on the end of a long string of energy that lets me telekinetically move it around. Its partially mental, partially physical. It feels heavy like moving a large sledgehammer but I'm able to smash it around (no care about collateral) and this seems way more effective way to fight an opponent.

At some point I got him on the ground, trapped between the first box I dropped and the second box that I was using as a weapon. I executed a new function called Magnetic_Polarize and magnetized the boxes together. They slapped together with a loud clank and shockwave seemingly becoming melted and fused but the guy still broke out from between, roaring with rage. He didn't seem to be at all injured, just pissed off.

Function Voxel_Atomic_Find_And_Replace (Oxygen, Fluorine);
Function Voxel_Atomic_Find_And_Replace (Nitrogen, Lithium);
SetShape (Sphere, 2500);

I fire this centering it directly on him, converting the oxygen in the air into flourine. There is a blast of pink-red flame like a bomb. Again not much visible damage on the outside though his suit seems to be burned now and he's coughing. He gets mad and charges me again. This time I take the staff, though I don't remember what the exact command was but it had something to do with rotating gravity. I rotated the entire world around my reference point nintey degrees and he spirals out of control and smacks into the ground. The world is now like an endless cliff face with cars, buildings, people and trees all flowing off and falling down into the abyss. I see the rivers and lakes nearby to my town spill out and rush down like a waterfall in a very realistic manner. Then the moon passes overhead. It's huge in the sky like it is in moonfall like its barely touching the atmosphere on its near side.

I must have started to lose lucidity because I made a pretty irrational combat move. I created a large barrier that we were both inside of and then set its radius to a negative value. When it collapsed on us we got sent to another dimension.

I don't know what to call this place besides "The Heptagon Dimension". It's pretty much a black void with a floor of white lines that are endlessly tiled regular heptagons. (Not hexagons, Heptagons, seven sided shapes). It's weird but the first time I've seen it in a dream you can look at this pattern and anywhere you look, locally it makes sense though it has this strange fractal like bending effect like the game Hyperbolica in your peripheral vision. There is a snowy effect of white particles rising up from the floor. Intuitively I know that this dimension is also very small, its like the quantum realm from the MCU its like smaller than atoms or Planck lengths.

He keeps yelling and trying to charge/fly at me but every time he curves away. The geometry of this dimension is clearly confusing him and has badly disrupted his combat tactics.

"I'm going to wake up now. You can stay down here until you've learned your lesson."

Decent dreams, had full lucidity in the last dream:

Ape monster went crazy and destroyed the city, followed me back to my grandparents place, whole scenario took a 180 turn and became a party of some sort. full lucidity at my grandparents place. Ate some flowers there, tasted fresh and crisp, like a good apple but no apple flavor. tried to eat more food but it all looked unappetizing. Went into the common room and saw my family there, all seemingly talking and enjoying the party.

First time actually eating in a dream, will try to do it more since it was interesting.
No clue what caused the king kong look alike to rampage but I know the party thing is related to this week since we are going to the oldies' place for Easter-egg hunting.
And drinking

Been trying to get back into it for the spring comp.

Was having a classic 'back in school' type dream. I am in the classroom of my 11th grade English class. That specific classroom seems to be a particular favorite of my subcon for reasons I'm not really sure. But I am taking a science test of some form, mostly multiple choice but there are a few written response type questions. It has 59 questions total and there is some weird way you are supposed to fill out the test on two separate pieces of paper, something which I have not done correctly.

I finish and turn in the test, then get out my laptop at my desk. The teacher comes back around and says that I haven't done the test correctly and will likely get a low grade. This brings in an artificially inflated sort of anxiety which is enhanced when I notice that it is sometime in the year 2021.

I do a nose pinch RC and recognize that this is a dream. I get up to leave the classroom and then wake up.
