lucid

I head out from the bakery and make a right. I reach the edge of the mall area as I make my way down the main walkways, buildings on either side. I rise up and my lucidity raises. I see a massive brown mountain far in the distance, small bits of early morning light beginning to enter the otherwise dark scene. Scan tells me that the mountain is named Mt. Hirei. I feel a sense of awe and wonder taking on the scene. I feel a renewed sense of love for lucid dreaming. I turn from the mountain scene and back into the mall section of this mini city area. The donuts from the previous shop were pretty good, so I decide to find some more. I fly down the main walkway, passing several shops, looking for another bakery. I pass by a group of young guys.
“We’re dreaming, guys”. I finally find a shop to the to go t and enter, looking for donuts. I see several round pastries in a bin to the right, but they appear to be bagels. I look a bit more and soon spot a serving Sat on with a couple rows of fancy ice cream cones of various colors. A large employee begins to approach and I snap to go invisible. He walks straight past me. I grab one of the Interesting looking green cones and begin to look for ice cream. I then spit a coffee machine and grab a cup. I hit a button and coffee begins to come out, heading into the cup underneath. I grab the items and begin to fly off, back down the original walkway. As I had down, I view some of the establishments on my left side as I pass. A couple of them appear to be for financial purposes- possibly a loaning center and bank of some sort. I finally reach two escalators ima dim area. I think about how long th lucid has been as I ascend one. I notice that they’re running up at different angels. As I ascend one, it begins to curve around to the to right, outside of the main area, and into an open area suspended above a massive drop. It appears to be night time. I prepare to rise back into the main mall area, get begin to wake up.

LUCID DREAM (49)

I woke up naturally for wbtb (WBTB- 2) and started performing the dream walker technique. I was scared I was too awake and wanted to speed up the induction practice so I began running through the imagined scene instead of walking. I experienced some hypnogogia (1) but the. technique worked and I became fully lucid in my imagined scene. (FIRST WILD OF NIGHT- 10) I got shocked out the dream, but continued the technique and was soon back in. (SUBSEQUENT WILD-5). I stabilized (1) by licking my bathroom wall. I was standing in front of my bathroom mirror so I decided to use the mirror as a portal. I pushed my hand through it to make sure it wasn’t solid (3 STEP TASK #1- push hand through solid object-5) and I was able to push my hand through successfully so I then used the mirror as a teleportation device and went through (3 STEP TASK 2- fully faced through big solid object- 10, TASK 3- teleport 15) and I was in a fake void space. It was fully black and I felt like I was spinning. After a few minutes I lost lucidity


DREAM 1-1

My moms friend Courtenay asked me to cover her for some theater play thing but it kept nearly interfering with a play thing I already had going on. She’d give me no notice, and just expect me to be available. This happened multiple times in the dream, the last time was her needing me to go to this rehearsal at a specific time and stay the whole time but it would be cutting it really close to when I had to be at my own rehearsal. Then I had to fill out this worksheet for her that was busywork tedious fill in the blank stuff that needed to be done before I got to my rehearsal thing. I asked this guy to help me, idk him irl but I did in the dream, he was big and I sat on his knee while he was helping me

DREAM 2-1

Irl my ex boyfriend texted me today before bed, after days of Nc. In the dream, I “woke up” to find that I had messaged him back in my sleep, or like pocket responded. I think I just said “okay” or something and I was mad bc that wasn’t how I’d wanted to respond and I also hadn’t wanted to respond so soon. He had already messaged me and idr what he said but he was pissed off by my message and his response had lots of dot dot dots
………… in it

DREAM 3-1

My ex (but we were still together in the dream) got handed a fortune or something that was worth 130k or he was told that he would get this money when his dad died, I forget. He got so excited and was acting like it was so much money and telling me that we’d get to go on trips and buy a house and be rich basically. I was happy for him and us but immediately felt inferior and motivated like ok now I need to find a way to bring in money too. And then I started watching this reality show where it was a group of people and I forget what they did, it was something about food I think they went around the country to different restaurants and did stuff thre. And they were all making like 400k a year to do it, and I was like anyone could do this *I* could do this! I was watching one of the girls on the show and was staring right at this chick trying really hard to commit her to memory and I still knew that if I saw her irl I wouldn’t recognize her. This was exciting for me, because I could do this show and not be like an A list celebrity, being recognized everywhere I went. I was showing the show to my friend and I turned to
Her and was like that girl clearly hates herself I mean shes mixed and has bleach blonde hair and blue color contacts. And my friend agreed.
Then somehow I was in the show and we had a hugeeee tour bus and we accidentally hit some old guy in the parking lot so they let him come in and look around and take a short ride with us and play whatever he wanted so he wouldn’t sue. He asked if this thing goes fast and our manager was Like hell yeah even though we literally just ran over this guy so we probably shouldn’t be speeding, but the driver starts speeding all over the shopping plaza even on corners and wouldn’t you know it she ends up getting into a 3 car car crash the tour bus flips in the air and lands on its roof.
Also in the dream we were working in a specific restaurant for the episode and one of the guys started having a feeling one of the kids working there was being touched so he handed him this vial and was like take this vial if you’re being touched and the kid did. Ai image goes with this dream

DREAM FRAGMENT- .5

Mom and dad had huge Funyuns bigger than our heads

Been busy with easter this weekend, didnt gave much time for dream journaling. Though i did write some down.

Friday: I was a Dukes son. (My dad as the Duke, mom as the Duchess and brother as well, my brother.) We were hosting a massive tournament for the empires newly throned Queen, whoose knights would also be competing. We took turns introducing ourselves, my brother ever the player, gave golden roses to all the fair ladies that came to watch the tounament, i simply gave a speech of introductions with politeness and a bow. My Dad the same, but my mother went a step beyond and had flowers bloom around the entire arena as the tourney began.

Saturday and sunday i did have dreams, but I didnt journal them down soon enough.

Monday, Today: I was put in my parents house, a place im way too familiar with, and even in the dream it looks all too real. But I wanted to see the lab, in the backyard. So i went to the entrance. (A little popout capsule, like those nuclear safety capsules from fallout.) And pressed the elevator button for "1st floor".
It wasn't that much of a lab as much as it was a spa resort and bar and everything else included.
There were masses of people underneath, maybe some i've met, others i've not. But I went there and didnt find much specialty there apart from it being pretty neat.
I did however have to DILD a lot throughout my journey down there as i was constantly loosing focus.

Nothing really of note other than good easter food and drinks. Hope you all had a happy easter too!

Dream 1 (non lucid)
Then suddenly I'm in my home country's small town I grew up, in front of our block where there's a playground and some benches. Only it's hugely busy and popular. There are sandpits and swings. One of my old friends wants to go on the swings but I think they're broken. A bunch of turkeys charge at us, and some doves and pigeons walk past.

Then we go behind the area and enter the playground in front of the next building. This time it's not as fun - it looks like an art installation but a really creepy one with cubes that look like pigeon heads. It turns out one of my friends has put my phone on selective silent or something, and I'm mad at her about it.

Suddenly the dream decides I'm pregnant with triplets (wtf) and ready to give birth NOW. They're all girls. I somehow know the dream won't end until I get to the beach where I plan to give birth. We walk past all the playgrounds and my home town and get to "Salvo". I get in the ocean and swim. Suddenly I'm next to a car and I've dropped my credit cards. Then I'm in the ocean again and I hate being pregnant I just want it to end. I tell my "husband" that they'll probably start swearing immediately bc all he does is swear. He says no he fucking doesn't.

Then it turns creepy and there's some sea monster in there. I sense the dream is ending so I huge my husband and say bye to everyone.

Dream 2 (lucid)
I find myself in a school hallways which is a common dream location for me so I become lucid. There's a red headed woman in front of me and a man. I do a reality check which fails but I know I'm in a dream anyway so I don't care. One of my goals is to reach the void so I fall backwards and affirm I'm going there.

I enter blackness. It feel much more like the void than any of the other times I've tried. However I can still somewhat feel my body so it isn't the void. I stay there for a bit as it's quite relaxing.

Dream 3 (non-lucid)
I'm setting up a TV but some kid steals my house keys and returns them shortly after, then tries to take my TV but returns it before even leaving the room, with some extra tech added to it. I'm in early high school in this dream. My dream husband pops up again and I tell him I don't want kids and never will, and he says that's okay I just want you.

Dream fragments:
- Sitting in my grandma's living room and my mum is next to me wearing a cyan jumper. She's in a bad mood. One of my old managers is there.
- I'm telling my friend about my LD and how I'm watching an LD movie.
- Cooking food IN my fridge and defrosting it at the same time.

1. Cavern Entry
I’m standing in the front of Meadow main house and become lucid. The front area is moderately lit, yet I can tell it’s night time.I begin flying upward and head toward the wall at the front of the house. I phase into it and go to void. I get ready to teleport. I stay in the void for a moment before seeing long rectangular sections appearing, as though they’re situated on the wall of a cave. I flip up onto one hand and spring off from the hand, returning to standing once again. I begin to move around a bit, then see an opening to a smaller chamber on the far end of the cave, as though it’s leading to a separate cavern. I begin to see light coming out from it. I begin rubbing the ground to stabilize. I fly toward the entrance, and as I curve left and enter, I see bright light spilling out through the large room inside. I transform into dragon form as I enter and begin flying above a miniature city. It appears to be built out of small, colorful blocks. As I approach more closely, I see that there are small figures situated throughout the small town, seemingly animals in humanoid form, yet still inanimate bocks. I turn from the area and enter a room to the right. Upon entering, I see several objects on counters to my left, spanning three walls of the room. To my right I see several appliances on shelves. I figure I’lll use some electronics and I approach a black appliance that looks somewhat like a humidifier, sitting on an upper shelf. I hit a small circular button. It lights up in blue and the machine revs up. I pick it up for a brief moment, pointing it a round before returning it. I head to the far end of the room and see a small area beyond with a counter in front a fridge to the right. I consider eating some coffee beans. I decide to basic summon something to eat first. I turn toward the fridge and decide to get some ice cream from a container like the one from a few nights ago. I open the top compartment, yet only find bread. I look below and find a black container of ice cream, just like the precious night. I take it out, scoop some out with my hand and eat it as I go to the front of the house. I consider what to do as I reach the front. I realize that I’m in Tur house. I stop near the front stairs and begin to practice Zazen. I then go for time dilation and begin to feel the sphere of expanding from me. I end the meditation after a short period and consider whether to head outside into the night, or stay in the house. I decide to stay inside as it’s a bit lighter indoors. I head back into the house, but begin to wake up.

2. Guide Search
I’m riding on the back of a vehicle during the day and become lucid. I fly upward a turn in the sky, seeing the vehicle with a flatbed in the back head down the road. I see several buildings on the side of the road, considering exploring them, yet turn toward the vehicle and Hookshot toward it instead. I zoom toward the back of the vehicle, several people sitting on the back. I finally reach the back and ride with the vehicle before booing off snd flying toward a building to the left with a yard to the side. I approach a large tree in the back of the yard and decide to search for my guide. I shift into dragon form and fly toward the tree before curving around to the opposite side. I see an interior section carved out and enter. There’s nobody inside, so I leave the area and head toward the structure at the side of the yard. I enter and make my way onto the room with various items ejects throughout. I decide to teleport and phase into the wall. I enter our, yet begin to wake up.

1. (Fragment) I was waiting in a line somewhere.
2. Woke up, couldn't recall anything, decided to write down "No recall" in order to keep the habit going. It should be automatic anytime I wake up.
3. (Fragment) Man, that Disney trip I took earlier this month must've really permeated into my subconscious. I dreamed that I was at the Disney parks buying merch. In parentheses, I have written (x2-3). I do not remember what this means.
4. Full Lucid DILD: Here we go. I woke up at 5 AM, but my alarm wasn't until 5:15 AM, so I went back to sleep and immediately slipped into this dream.

Started out non-lucid. I was walking around San Diego, carrying a large body pillow with an anthropomorphic character on it. I was feeling rather self-conscious, like WHY do I have this and WHY am I walking around town with it?

A car drove by and I felt even more embarrassed, like can't I at least take this thing back to my hotel room?

Then I thought "Ah yes, I can teleport. I will teleport back to the hotel room now."

So I did.

I appeared back in the hotel room. There were bottles of lotion (of course ) and unpacked luggage in a pretty big room, and my cousin's stuff was there too. Great, so now my cousin is going to know about this giant body pillow.

I then idly realized that teleporting is not a thing that can happen in waking reality. Hmm... OH --

-- LUCIDITY.

So, my first instinct was to teleport again, onto a roller coaster. It was wooden. As I was going up the lift hill, T. was there in the seat next to me. We were not in the front seat -- closer to the back.

I then remembered -- oh yes, the competition, and my 3-step tasks! I summoned a clarinet and immediately played an F-concert scale (G Major in clarinet transposition) on the roller coaster. Then I played some random crap; I can't remember what.

My brain was not entirely clear -- I remember thinking "well I don't want to drop the clarinet off the roller coaster" but then logic snapped back into place. The scene was somewhat fuzzy, and not as vivid as I might have hoped. I was going to start stabilizing, and then figured I would try flying after I had finished on the roller coaster. But, then my alarm went off.

(It was nice and cold in my room, which is rare, because I live with my brother who is always cold, whereas I am always hot. Apparently, he finally didn't touch the thermostat. :v I think that helped a lot with my sleep quality.)
___

I also finally signed up for the DreamViews Discord server. I didn't realize we had one, even though it has presumably been linked up top for a long time. I had already hit the Nitro limit of 200 servers (thanks ADHD) but finally found an inactive one that has been mostly dead since 2021 that I didn't mind leaving.

Finally!!! Didn't accomplish much task-wise but am grateful for the lucidity.

A tiny restaurant looks larger by way of mirrored walls. Waiting for some friend, check my reflection. I am not myself. 'Maybe dreaming?'. Press fingers through mirror. "Dreaming!"

Stand. Leap through the looking glass into a monstrous, dark cavern. A beast that may be the bastard child of Godzilla and a Balrog, glares, growls, attacks. Retreat backward through the mirror.

Trembling fingers reality check. Dreaming. Clasp hands. Calm. Collect wits and lucidity. Dreaming. Must face the beast. Leap through the mirror, come what may. But there is no cavern, only a courtroom. Victims crowd the jury box. Smug grin greets from the witness stand.

"Oh for fucksake. Did I molest you too?" the witness asks, mildly irritated.

"I don't even know you," I confess... then add, "You will always tell the truth." Inquire about his crimes. He admits guilt, to his own astonishment. I leap, a foolish and over dramatic fling. He and I are face to face. Twist and tear his head from body. It is like tearing cardboard.

"You killed me! You killed me!" echoes his wet, gurgling scream.

Standing ovation from the jury.

Stare the head straight in the eyes. "Stay alive," I command. Toss the trash to the floor.

Now rises panic. Need to escape. No mirrors seen. Calm. Be calm. Think. See my hands stained with sketchy tattoos. Strange. Interesting. Yes. Still dreaming. Find a way out. A door! Rip it open expecting the bastard beast. Instead, a Star Wars like city glitters far below. Exhilaration surges. Leap. Ferocious freefall. Land on a daylit outdoor stage.

"You're going to sing for us!" squeals a someone from behind.

Turn. Two of the jurors are there. They followed? Shake off surprise. "I don't sing anymore." Pace and struggle to remember dream goals. Dream goals. Dream goals. Feel morning creeping nearer.

"This is someone else's dream," Lady stalker states.

"How do you know?" I ask, startled from the silent struggle.

"The smell," Male stalker says, as if its common knowledge.

"Don't you ever smell where you are?" Lady asks.

"No." I feel weird about this conversation.

"Smell now," Lady commands.

Inhale deeply. Smell nothing. Wonder about sensations. Search for a swallow of this dream. Stalkers follow chattering about the importance of smell. Lose lucidity while wading through the concert swell.


Team Robot - Spring Competition 2025

Silverlight:
I have a false-awakening at the previous house I was renting [1a].
Out of habit I do a nose-RC and I become lucid.
I noticed that my vision was dark, so I start trying to stabilize the dream.
I recall that I memorized "EV" as an acronym to help me remember what to do.
From the edge of my memory: Engage. Verbalize. EV.
So, I start rubbing my bare hands and feet against the carpet and walls, saying "I'm rubbing the carpet, this is a dream."
"I'm rubbing the walls, this is a dream."
"I'm rubbing the carpet, this is a dream."
Fortunately for me, my vision comes back. It worked [2].
I go out into the living room and I see my lost passed away Grandma M walking by.
I don't engage with her, but we do make eye-contact. I remark to myself how strange lucid dreaming is.
Stabilization continues, like I'm a weirdo rubbing and chanting.
I start trying to remember what my goals are. I recall that one of them is to "will text into something specific."
So I start looking for text somewhere in the house.
I find an odd clock-like structure on the wall with painted calligraphy words on it instead of numbers.
I look at it, and the words are nonsense to begin with.
I pick a random one, look away, think about the word "ass", wait a moment, and then look back.
It has changed into another nonsense word.
I try the same process again, and this time it works. I see "ass" in fancy light blue calligraphy lettering on the clock [3].
Check. What else should I do? Eating is worth points I think?
I go to the kitchen looking for food. I find the fridge, but there is a couch partially blocking the door. My brother is sitting on the couch.
I force the fridge door open anyway, knocking away the couch [4].
I find a plastic container with some strawberries in it.
I think that maybe it will be cold and hurt my teeth, but I eat it anyway [5].
It tastes like nothing, not even cold. To be fair, I wasn't really focusing on it, so maybe that is why?
Goals? What were they?
...
I false awaken, but I catch it with a nose-RC. [1b]
Back to it. EV.
There's a brief scene with some naughtiness in the bedroom and living room, but I will leave out the details.
I proceed back to the living room area, and this time I see my long passed away Grandpa R.
I wave and say hello, and he vaguely acknowledges me, looking up and waving his hand [6].
I have a few more cycles of false awakenings, but I eventually remember that one of my goals is to travel to Silverlight (location mentioned by a DC in another LD).
I remember the fridge from earlier and decide that it will be my doorway.
I think about a forest on the other side of the door and open it.
No luck.
I try again, and this time it is definitely a fridge inside, but there is a purplish glow at the back.
I decide that, this time, I'm not taking no for an answer.
I run into the fridge, contorting my body to fit. Super cramped.
I push through, forcing a dream transition.
The next thing I know, I'm trapped, feeling claustrophobic, floating in water.
I can see daylight leaking through the gaps in the door hinge.
Fighting for my life, I smash my way out and get on top of the fridge.
Looking around, I'm in a river in a forest clearing during the day. Mission accomplished [7].
There is a medieval looking army camp straight ahead.
I see goblins and humans are in some sort of battle.
I notice that as I look around, there is a symphonic film soundtrack playing in the background.
It evokes a sense of wonder that matches and amplifies what I am feeling perfectly.
I notice on my left, there are some Aztec-looking aged steps going up. The were large, about 8 foot high and 10 foot wide per step.
I fly over there to get a closer look as the daylight begins to fade [8].
The steps are large enough that I need to fly a bit to get over them.
I reach the top and realize this is a defensive-sniper position.
Without speaking, I think about how I imagined that Silverlight should have had white trees.
There is a man there in military gear. Eyes are covered in shadow, facepaint lines under them.
He responds, as if I had spoken, "Maybe it is called Silverlight because the trees light up at night."
The music, which is still playing, swells in response to this statement. It sounds similar to "The Other Promise" from Kingdom Hearts II.
The swell sounds specifically like 0:50 from this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9XljBWGrRQ
Kingdom Hearts II: The Other Promise.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...80&height=1320
AI Art: Overlooking Silverlight.

As the music swells, the daylight fades completely and all the trees light up as if they have white/yellow Christmas lights on them.
The sight of the lit trees from up above and hearing the music in time with them might be the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced in a lucid dream.
I wake up.

[1ab] Catch a False Awakening x 2.

Diving:
I'm on a dive somewhere tropical with an instructor and my girlfriend.
She has gotten lost somewhere dark. There are some logistical barriers between the two dives we are allowed to have.
I'm not allowed to go and look for her until the second dive, which is a long time away.
...
I false-awaken into the hotel room and start recording the previous dream on my phone's microphone.
I need to take a shower, but I can't because somebody is in there.
I went out into the living area, and my girlfriend is getting ready for work.
There are some broken cups and dishes on the floor but she didn't seem concerned.
Back in the sleeping area, and the bed is gone but there is a couch in its place.
I have a phone conversation with an AI that is trying to force me to order pizza.
My dad and brother are there too, with two puppies.
...
I false awake again, and find myself wandering around the living room.
I remember that I don't have time to be wasting, and remind myself that I should be getting ready to go to the badging office.
I realize the situation is odd, and that triggers me to do a hands RC.
I see that I have an extra finger on my right hand. I become lucid.
But the dream is fading fast, and I wake up.

Before my big lucid dream, I was dreaming that my company hired a growth hacker from Scandinavia and rebranded our business to be all pink. She had a lot of pets and her husky liked me. Then a massive tank or something like that rolled through and I went to hide under my bed (bc surprise surprise, every dream takes place in my apartment ).

I woke up, entered sleep paralysis, and witnessed for the first time my desired dream scene LOADING in front of me. It worked like how a printer does - loaded in from the left to the right, and each turn made it clearer and clearer until I was fully in the scene. I was in a beach house. It felt so real that I was disappointed when I did a reality check and realised it was a dream.

I went outside to explore. The garden looked like my parents' garden. Although the dream was stable, I literally licked the brick wall to stabilise myself and it worked. I saw a man in the garden and turns out he was my dream boyfriend (why do my dreams always assign me boyfriends smh). I said hello to him and told him I'd speak to him shortly as I needed to complete my second dream task - partial transformation. I looked in my reflection in the window and saw my skin become more tan and my eyes turn green. Satisfied with that, I needed to complete my third task - teleporting.

However, my dream boyfriend wanted to chat to me and came up to me with some eggs. He started asking me if I knew that his ex cheated on him and I launched into this very deep speech about how you trust someone with no exceptions until they do something then you never trust them with no exceptions. Satisfied, he let me attempt to teleport. I held his hand for moral support and asked him to help me. He was confused but supportive. I affirmed I'd teleport to the void, and I did enter darkness, but really it was just me waking up and seeing the blackness behind my closed eyes.

Image (I was happier than this in the dream but chat gpt is not being cooperative today):

I’m at a long table with a group of people. This…looks like a dream…I’m lucid.
I stand up. “I’m lucid, guys”. I begin to fly away, but the visuals darken rapidly. I continue to raise, making sure that I”m still in flight. I figure I should phase and then teleport out. I soon find what appears to be a wall, yet there aren’t any visuals, so it’s difficult to tell. I go to void an imagine the next scene. I appear in a new area as lucidity wanes.

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).

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).
