Lucid Dreams
At one point I was in my bed silently worshipping/basking in the positive vibes of a few different demons, such as lucifer and ipos, but also a third deity whose name I don't remember. They radiated masculine energy and their name was one to two syllables. The color yellow was prevalent in my head at the time and their appearance in my head may have been not too dissimilar to a greek deity perhaps. Zeta made me food. Only we lived in my room. Everything looked a little emptier and a bit messier and the mini fridge was on the opposite side of the room to where it is irl I don't know when this happened in the dream but I was talking to Edynn's grandparents and failed horrifically at recalling the czech I had learned. They were teasing me about it I was doing my laundry in the parking lot of the arden fair mall and talking to people about musical gear I was on the light rail at a passenger seat while someone operating the train was pirating stuff for my computer, ranging from games that don't exist to titles like subnautica. I saw a friend of axelle's outside at a train station and at one point I saw a digital sign being like "don't pirate games" with an angry face emoticon next to it that I disregarded I found this really short trans woman at my old house being all weird. She was up to maybe my knees and I got mad and told her I could punt her across the street if I wanted to. Her height changed to that of roughly 6'7 and I immediately gained substantially different feelings about her. While distinct, her appearance resembles my girlfriend's friend who I have not met yet. I asked her how old she was and she said she was 37. We started to get quite sensual. At some point I was organizing vaporwave music and trying to move it from a dream folder into a folder on my irl computer. Cut to a different point in the dream. I'm trying to find this dream character's house, which I do successfully. It's quite a small area and she expresses the desire to have sex, which we begin to do. At some point I'm in Edynn's front yard on a vibrant summer day except it's not her house because I suppose she doesn't exist in this dream. There seems to be a celebration of sorts going on, and I run into a childhood friend of mine who is still as he was when we were kids because I don't know what he currently looks like. I told him he looked like that one kid from the little rascals (which may have been kinda racist to say to be honest) and he says "oh hey he's actually upstairs playing video games if you wanna say hi" while absolutely going crazy on the drums. I head upstairs to find a very clearly queer teenager and I say hi while he keeps playing his switch/psp. I go to the room across from where I was on the upstairs level and somehow I'm convinced I have woken up until I see some peculiar looking old guys who questioned my awakeness. I then looked at my hand, which was missing a finger. I wake up back in the reality where I am currently facing eviction from my house. I think someone was giving me a break, and I hope I run into some of these dream characters again.

Sunday 18th A mountain range of notebooks surrounds. One word is all I want. Where in all these scarps and spines does it hide? Just one word. One. But wait. Was I not just laying in bed? Was I not just mouthing lucid mantras? Yes. I was. How did I get here? Now the room stands empty but for I. These are not my floors, windows, or walls. What? Could it be? A finger is pushed through the putty of my palm. No pain. Could it be? A finger is pushed into the webs of my wrist and pulled up my forearm. The feeling? My finger pushing upstream in a tickling current. It is. This is a dream! A wash of cautious joy. Roam the empty halls of a stranger house. What wonders lie behind this simple slab? Open the door only to see a similarly empty night. Leap from a step to soar to distant stars. But slowly I slip. Toes touch deep green. They slide past. I am swallowed by the supple flesh of an ether earth. Spin like a feather through a thousand cicada songs settled safe behind a patchwork void. Dreaming. Dreaming. Dreaming. Embrace the fall. Here, the spirit is a dim blue-black. Smooth, straight trunks stand as far as can be perceived. They stretch eternally up into a swarthy yawn of heaven, branches unseen. Such solitude. Should I fear? No. Dreaming. Dreaming. Dreaming. Be polite. "I am Sweven. I am dreaming. I am thankful to be here." Silence replies. A palm placed upon a trunk. A rush of falling leaves. Stand knee deep in teal. Touch another trunk. Another rush. Another wade through the weep. Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall. Now love the lazy rain of a million leaves. Teal strips with golden veins that twinkle as they twirl. Stride soft through the magic of this moment. But then steps sink. Deeper. Deeper. Deeper. Drift like a whisper through the earth. Back to black. Freefall. The void roars and writhes. Should I fear? No. Dreaming. Dreaming. Dreaming. Laugh. Relish the fall. Here, the spirit is as grim as a long forgotten graveyard. Clusters of gnarled trees. Naked branches, as crooked as some souls I know, stretch bold but broken. Silence is sharp. Solitude is stark. All is terrible and sacred. Push a finger through a palm. I am safe. Dreaming. Dreaming. Dreaming. I am safe. Step... but no step comes. Instead a twitch like a matrix glitch takes me to the next kink of tree. Awe. I've not known this before. I glitch on. Senses tingle. Glitch toward the sensation of some soul. It is still. Atop spidery thin legs, as long as trees are tall, is a human-ish shape. Trench coat drapes. Tendrils of shadow tresses spill from under a not quite cowboy hat. Indiscernible eyes sit in ashen face angles. Neither young nor old... safe nor scary, it stands still still. A statue? I glitch past. "You. Come back," a rustling voice sings. I turn. Trench coat thing is perched upon tree trunk throne. "You. Sit on my lap." I laugh, a shrill and serrated thing that shrapnels about the dream. I shrink away from my own sound then glitch on. But what does it really want, that spindly thing with its leaf rustle voice? Finger through palm. I'm dreaming. Dreaming. Dreaming. I've nothing to fear and curiosity to sate. Glitch back to the thing on the throne. "I'm Sweven dreaming." "You. Sit on my lap," it greets. It musters a grin, or perhaps a grimace. Dreaming. Dreaming. Dreaming. I sit on it's lap. We are face to face... then suddenly not. Like a child on a nightmare Santa's lap, I'm caught. Arms like ropes encircle. Crushing. Tight. Hooks from the top of its bony thighs rip up into the phantom bottoms of mine. We tip backward. Thrown into another night. I wake. Post 5:30am dream. It took 18 days but I finally achieved lucidity. I am terribly thankful for this. I'd begun to worry that I could not intentionally lucid dream anymore. I've proven myself wrong.

i had a lucid dream! im unsure of exactly when i became lucid, though i wasnt entirely. it may have been towards the end of the dream, as i recall it was all very blurry. i remember looking at some distorted coffee mugs and thinking 'oh shit, im waking up'. i communicated with the dream through the Google Home i had in the kitchen. i dont recall the first question i asked it, but the second time i asked how to extend my REM period so i wouldnt wake up. i dont know if thats even possible, and i dont remember getting a response, but i just imagined brainwaves and that seemed to keep me in the dream a few minutes longer, so good enough for me! the dream remained blurry, and i eventually came-to enough to be woken up by a pet's breathing about 4, 5 am. this was the first LD ive had in recent memory that actually took place at night-- the rest of my LD's tend to happen after my first alarm goes off.
Woke up to the sun. So bright. (writes dreams) Honestly I should just get up. Or… On the side of a road, On top of a hill was a place full of stores and services. Usually I would just stop to get something to eat or for my dad to pick up some gas for the trip. But after coming twice it got apparent that I was a more regular visitor than anyone else. As it happened that my dad would be doing something and I would have to stay and wait for hours. I had some time to kill talking to people my age. As I ganged their trust (GET IT LOL HAHAHAH pls laugh) they told me that they run sort of a “little” gang here and that they run all of the stores. I said that's pretty cool and after a while of wandering around and doing different things. Eventually I joined the “motorcycle gang”. Which was what everyone's little nickname was for it. I surprisingly wasn't expected to stay or to come often but when I do eventually come often I would have access to all the lounges and stuff. I made some friends and they wanted to go get lunch at a supermarket. I came with them. We found a spot with Chinese food and different types of chicken. As I ordered my food I realized it was gone. So I went back to go get something else. At the time the kids were waiting for me. Another line started to grow so in a bit of a panic I got some chicken legs because they happened to be way cheaper. As I continued in the line one of the people behind the counter asked if I joined yet. (Let's call him bill. I was already talking to him before lunch) I said yes so for confirmation he went to one of the people I was with and they said yea. As I continued up I realized that they never gave me an ID card to order. Bill started to speak to the guy running the supermarket. (Lets name him Joey) “Yo Joey wanna watch what happens if you don't have your ID card?” Joey, already knowing what was about to happen declined, lacking interest. Bill pulled out a knife from his side pocket and went to attack him. I grabbed his arms and tackled him. Throwing the knife out of the way. A narrator said that in his mind he thought I would’ve been a good leader. I ran through the store, chicken legs in hand looking for more food I could grab. After about to grab a pastry I saw Joey running closer to me so I ran out the door. I looked for a car I could drive and after I saw a lady getting out of the car to set it up for a refuel I sprinted in the car and got it out of park. I drove right to the entrance of the plaza and luckily there were no cars. As I drove on the highway and onto an exit. The road started to be filled with houses. It was a mixture of country, suburban and ghetto. Gained lucidity, As I got to a part where the road was grass I slowed down and I saw that the side of the road was covered with extended houses. As I drifted past many I messed up and hit the structure of the house. Luckily it was still connected to the ground so it didn't collapse. Shortly after I ran into a tree. Realizing that this was a good time to let him pass by, I waited for a second but realized he was far behind. (car skills are way too good honestly) I continued on the road and reached a neighborhood. In the middle of the road was a group of three cars and two police officers on each side. Moving them. I went to the side and drove right past them. After some more insane moves I got to an intersection where there were hundreds of police cars. I immediately got out of the car. I randomly jumped (scooby dooby doo style) and then raised my hands up. I got arrested and a cutscene began of me getting free and getting 280 thousand dollars. Then I woke up.
Habit RC: I'm at a parking lot at CVS. I perform a nose reality check out of habit...and either I can't breathe or I stop paying attention. I continue with a text reality check of the CVS sign and that looks normal too. Finally on another nose reality check I notice that I can breathe. I'm lucid now. I turn to my girlfriend and ask her if this is a dream. She says it is not. I go to void and try to maintain awareness but I lose it. ... I'm at dinner with my girlfriend and her family. It looks like an Applebee's. The table is pulled up to the steps and arranged around some chairs oddly. Her grandparents were supposed to show up but didn't. Later we leave and climb over some rocks to reach the cars. Fragment: I'm at my childhood home at the upstairs bathroom. I have to pee, but my brother beats me too it.
* 2024-07-17 00:00 Weds comp night #12 * Includes 2024-07-17 #312, 313 DILDs (LD #17,18 reboot '24) [13, 18, 16 [2], 0, 5, 9, 1, 9, 1, 5, 8, 10, 9, 8[2], 4[2] ] * (f) [hypnopompic] "Machetes -- nobody can use except $1 people from the bargain store" * Demo for family in (computer?) store * (f) girl playing music on a blow keyboard ("hot cross buns"), see a large array of instruments in a room * 2024-07-17 LD #312 * I come to consciousness sitting on the edge of a bed in a corner of a bedroom, and I hear the sound of rain falling on to the roof and the side of the house. I'm looking at something (magazine, tablet) with the picture of a man dressed in red. I notice I'm wearing a watch on my right wrist and see that the face and part of the red color is visible also filling the face of the clock, which I think is odd, so I nose pinch, and become lucid. I stand up and go to the door of the room, I want to enter the main house. Things get hazy and blurry, I move through doors and find myself in a large living room. I look to the left, and see wife E sitting at a long table on a laptop. She looks young and healthy with that thick, luxurious brown/black hair. I'm really happy to see her, and come up to her and offer a warm greeting and a hug, but she's very stern and is all business. "I have an important message for you [from heaven", and I feel fear, I think they know about some of my secrets, and I think that's stupid, of course they know, but I'm still waiting in trepidation to listen to what she says. She says that she overhead others talking about this. Then she tells me that of our two children (me and wife L), one will die, and one will have very hard times. I'm confused by this message because both L and I are too old to have kids, and we don't have any now. I think it doesn't apply to me. Wife L enters the room and moves to a corner and fiddles with a cabinet, she's wearing a white outfit made up of criss-crossing straps. She doesn't really look like her waking self. I think this is probably the first time they've ever been in a dream together, so why not introduce them. I ask L "what's your name?" And she answers "L" accurately. I go over to her and touch her briefly. She leaves the room and the house through the front door. A standing stove over by the fireplace catches my eye and I go to it and tell E that hey it looks like an old Soviet model. I also see a green Christmas tree. I want to go after wife L I want to talk to her some more, I run out the front door and there is a night-time suburban hilly neighborhood stretching out before me. L is in a car and taking off, "come back!" I call but she drives off. I fly after her but I'm too slow, I will myself to fly faster and I get a big "turbo boost" at high speed but she still drives away. I forget here and notice a convenience store just up ahead, and a young woman standing outside it. Then I notice a convertible car driving from right to left up a hill, top down, 4 people driving in it, some girls in the back seat, I fly after them, slow at first then again will high speed and shoot forwards at high speed, land in the car in the back seat. I decide I want to return to the house and score some comp points, maybe teleport there, I wake up. * 2024-07-17 LD #313 * Get lucid in a room in a house, full of clutter and objects, and a ton of kids hanging around. There are some people sitting at a table including an attracting young woman, I go up to her, stand behind her, and massage a part of her. I decide I want to see her skin and her body under and around becomes visible. I remember the competition and want to store some points so I look around and with all the kids around decide to do mass DC control. First will them all to become cats, and most of them do! Then I gesture and TK them all to the couch in the middle of the room, and this works as well. I go to the couch and then see that I missed one who was hiding behind some piece of furniture and so avoided my TK. I walk away from the couch and turn around to face it and call out to them, "What does a cat say?" They answer in a group, unison voice "WOOF!". I chuckle and then ask them again, this time applying control so that they'll answer "meow", and they do answer "meow." The kids want to watch TV so I take off flying around the room, looking for a TV. The room has a very high ceiling and there is a wide ledge running around the perimeter of the room at the level of a 2nd floor. It's full of objects, furniture, I notice a pool table. I return to the couch and there's a TV, I switch it on and notice a brief image appear. I move to the kitchen and as I pass a refrigerator on my left, an unseen DC behind me asks, "is it worth it to sell your soul?" I stop and say "absolutely not, no pleasure is worth an eternity of pain and suffering". I turn around back towards the couch and notice a container of chocolate ice cream on the counter, I take off the lid and see the partially melted brown ice cream, pick up a small spoon and eat a spoon of the ice cream, there is no flavor or texture, I wake up. * 2024-07-18 00:00 Thurs comp night #13 * Some fragments/recall weaker several scenarios, recovery night * (f) Run after fat woman up stairs * (f) delivery/receipt of box/shipment * (f) S1, S2 and a car outside * 2024-07-19 00:00 Thurs comp night #14 * DannyD in StP, explain my house * his dad ND (offer shake hands, refuses, see odd growths on his hands, ND will sleep in a bed which is behind a curtain, lock on the door, * pool/billiards explaining side English * 2-level bathroom see under stall doors * Procession outside including girl w/super bulging eyes
Summer Competition 2024 - Night 14 1. The Late Alley (LD) I continue swimming underwater and soon break the surface. I become lucid. I look around, noticing that it's night time and head toward the shore. Once on the beach, I look on either side of me and notice interesting stone structures with cream coloring. The one to my left captures my attention as it has an arced balcony on an upper portion with small statues lining it, appearing almost like small cupid figures. It has somewhat of an eerie feel to it due to the reddish glow emanating throughout it, yet it's captivating nonetheless. There are glowing reddish letters toward the top and I have the feeling that it's some type of lunge. I see several people standing on the edge, all of which are seemingly female attendants of some sort. I approach a lower stone ledge and climb on top, beginning to think about what I want to do as I climb across. I really like the area and figure I'd want to come back. I sense that mom is behind me, so I ask what they name of the place is. Mom: "Late PM Alley". I find the name interesting and draw closer to the attendants, noticing that they're wearing black formal wear. I approach one of the attendants on the right and notice she's wearing a mask. "Do you need to be wearing this?" She looks at me. Girl: "Yes" I simply let it go and ask if I can pass. She lets me and I begin walking. The dream begins to go to void. I hold my awareness, ready for a new scene. I soon find myself standing next to a one story home on the edge of a large waterway between what appears two sections of homes. On the far right, the homes are enormous; they're several stories tall and have intricate, high tech structures on the outside. One home contains a massive blue and silver orb, the function of which I'm not quite sure. I look beyond and see a massive tribal looking structure in the back right, standing several stories tall. As I turn back to the mansions, the structure appears to change somewhat and there now appear to be rollercoaster behind them. I continue to float down to the right, exploring boardwalk area on the edge of the water. I haven't really done any control yet...I should do something. I see a large piece of machinery ahead of me and go for TK, yet it just wobbles a bit before I turn to my right. I quickly see a large, pink spotted animal figurine appearing like it's right out of a carnival. I extend my arm and TK it up with ease. I make my way down to the right, thinking of finding some warglaives. I imagine the base of the blades, yet don't find anything right away. I decide to basic summon something to eat and float over to a shack area on the edge of the water I float up to the window and snap to go invisible. I see a lady working inside as I float through the window. I continue to make my way around to the back, undetected, and look for some hotdogs. I quickly find a couple of paper plates and reach for them. As I focus more, there now appear to be two small hamburgers on the nearest plate. I continue to look, willing them to change back to hotdogs. They quickly revert and I grab the plate. I begin grabbing ketchup and putting it on as well. The lady looks in my general direction and pushes a plate forward. I take a bite and its great! The flavor is accurate I begin floating out of the store. I wake up. 2. Warglaives And Temple Ruins (LD) I continue to put the sandwich together on the sidewalk. I'm lucid. I see that it's late in the evening and I'm outside of some type of shop. The sandwich looks pretty good so I figure I may as well finish making it and eat it anyway. There's not a top bun, but I don't mind.No summoning, but I'll just do that later. I put some type of condiment on the patty which seems like some type of fried fish and take a bite. It's really good! I walk over to my right and notice some type of small tent with a conical gray top, appearing like an outdoor seating area of some type of cafe. I enter and notice Anth sitting next to mom. I may as well interact a bit. I grab a couple of books off of the table and turn to Anth who has a stack in his lap already. I place mine on top. "Here you go!" He looks up at me with a smile. I start heading off and notice that the sandwich isn't completely filling my mouth as usual. I notice I actually feel hungry. Maybe having some dream food will actually make that go away for a bit. I continue down the sidewalk at a faster pace and notice a young man sitting at a circular table, seemingly finished with his plate of food as he reads something near his lap. I see a small portion of his burger left, so I grab it off the plate mid-run and begin eating it - he doesn't seem to mind. I begin to think of what I want to do next and run through some control in my mind. I don't clearly see any good options for TK so I decide to play with gravity a bit. I turn toward the tall, light blue wall to my left and slowly place my feet toward the bottom. As I step forward, I mentally begin rotating gravity 90 degrees and find myself standing with the wall now flat, the rest of the dream rotated. I get back down shortly, reverting the dream and jogging toward a couple of young kids at the edge of the walkway. I see a large blue desk to my right and quickly 'wall-run' up it, rotating gravity before landing and reverting once again. Super strength time. I run up to the kid and kick him about ten away and five feet up and zip around the corner. I should at least heal the DCs. I turn, seeing if he's busted up, but he and his friend seem fine. I extend a hand for heal, but they don't seem to need it. That won't count. I continue to run down to the right and see that the path now diverge around a large ovular opening in the center. It remind me a bit of some of the airships in warcraft. I head around the right side, looking for some weapons. Maybe I can find a warglaive. I head pass a desk to my right, not finding them right away, and continue to jog around the walls to the right edge of the room and notice some toy swords. Nice - that will count for the theme. I don't want to wield any of them, however as they're small wooden swords. As I progress, the swords gradually become more realistic with the shape and become larger as well. As I continue around the back and toward the opposite side, they slowly become metal, with larger blades. The ones on the far end seem to have glowing edges. I already have one, so there's really no point in getting another. I make way way farther down and enter a room to the right with some people gathering around a table to the left with some items on it. I'm not interested, so I begin leaving. I male begins calling after me, explaining that they're not finished and they need to do some alcohol tasting. I may as well see what they're up to. I enter and begin to think about how long the dream has been. I should dilate time a bit. I begin meditating and float up a bit. I begin to freeeze the scene mentally and everything stops. I feel about being in stasis, in this state of consciousness for a long time. I don't notice and frost around the periphery of my vision, but I come out of meditation and the dream action continues as normal. I approach a large pot in center with may items simmering inside. It appears to be some type of soup. I'll try to change everything to...potatoes. I focus for a bit, yet nothing alters. I go for color next. I look at one of the large cubes and change the color to green. Nice! I look at another, goin for blue. I only get small portions at first, before saying 'blue' loudly at forcefully, yet not getting a perfect response. I then try a calm, patient tone. It quickly changes entirely to blue. Awesome! I guess that's the trick for me.I notice that the female to my right looks like Han, so I pick her up and give her a big hug and kiss. We hug for a moment, but I don't want to risk destabilizing the dream at all. I turn and exit the room. I should look for some warglaives again. I approach a small kiosk just outside the doors. I anticipate finding some warglaives on the walls. I notice small, plastic looking halves of the glaives. I turn to the woman "Do you have any warglavies?" Lady: "I think we may have some in the backroom". She looks to the other side of the room, seemingly ready to look in that area. I continue to look on the wall and soon find larger halves of the blades, made of metal. I then see figurines who appear to be demons wielding the blades. Finally, I find a fairly large, silver-gray warglaive. I pick it up with excitement. Nice! My personal goal! I continue to walk down the nearby corridor with it, yet the dream begins to go to void. I maintain awareness and imagine a new scene forming. I soon see pillars of some type of ruins appearing in the far distance, a red color emanating from between them, and float off toward them. I get the feeling that there's some type of fire nearby and a portion of the temple area is collapsing. I think about how long I've been dreaming and how my attention is sustained throughout the states. I begin to think of omnis as well. I begin to encourage myself to dream for very long periods of time. "Eric, dream all night". I say a few times, mentally conceptualizing what it would be like to stay lucid in the dreamworld for massive periods of time. I float up to and past a few of the pillars of the temple ruins and carve to the right. I get ready for super speed, but don't a a straightaway. I go up to some massive stone pillars and knock on down with a sold bunch. I begin reaching the edge of the temple and a slope which heads down a hillside to an area below. i go for fireball, yet don't see anything very clearly. I reach the bottom and a guy begins grabbing at my feet in somewhat of a mindless state. I kick him off hard and continue to the bottom of the hill area. The scene becomes quite dim as I make my way around a large strucutre that seems like some type of unoccupied vehicle. I Wake up.

Night 12 The wingman - i was in a store with the pillow i was sleeping on in my hands, the store employee said 'you know you will have to pay for that again, right?' (it even implies that he knows i already paid for it) and i was like 'no shot, i didnt even buy it from this store' and left, did a nose plug (+1) and became lucid, saw myslelf further down the street (i didnt look exactly like i do now, but knew anyway), i decided to change my perspective to be standing near 'me' (i'd say this was more something that has happened rather than something i did even tho i noticed the desire for it before it happened), i saw my reflection in a store window and decided to play rock paper scissors with myself (personal goal to win this), i recommended 'myself' to try to do the same thing (+2) because i found it funny, my hands were cold and i had trouble opening my hand for the first scissors, we both went scissors - rock - and scissors four more times, the reflection was perfect till i decided to switch to rock last second and won against scissors (ez)(+15), the other me was no longer there so i decided to go for my usual and asked for wings, felt (+5) them and somehow also used a 3rd person view to see them on my back for a moment (left 3/4 black, right white, both angel wings), started flying (+5) around and stopped to observe a crazy sunrise sky, then flew some more also im confident i had another one but i forgot all of it Nigt 13 - Not your daddy i seem to have forgotten the beggining, first thing i remember is there being 3 of my laptop, i had one and was trying to get into the second one, but i couldnt since my friends changed the password to it, i kept asking them for it, but they ignored me and it was starting to make me mad, there was also the third one which i didnt even know where it was, that made me anxious, i then went into this terrace with a pyramid shaped iron truss above it and (was lucid by this point) i pushed a guy into a pit (+2) because i was so mad, floated (+5) up above the top of the pyramid and told everyone there to follow him (+5), i noticed a girl sitting close by and i walked up to her as everyone was walking into the pit. she said 'thanks for doing this for me dad' whit a smile on her face (im not anything close to anyone's dad), i replied 'but i did this for myself' she replied something and we hugged and it was very emotional, i saw a helicopter getting closer which was there to rescue us, i was thinking that this is an awesome ending and was proud of how long this dream was (except i forgot most of it ), i immedietly wrote down the conversation we had when i woke up and saw a fully realistic image of the scene for a second, thought that my brain must still partially be in dream mode and kept writing, then i woke up for real and didnt journal untill now (evening)
Fragment: I'm in a big open convention space, with thick carpet and lots of red/gold colors. It turns out this is a hotel, where there is a mixup with where we were supposed to stay. I'm on a school trip with the cast of My Hero Academia. Grocery Store Flight: I'm in a grocery store that reminds me of one I went to as a kid. I'm running a sort of tower defense game, where people (mobs/creeps) will attempt to make it past my shelves and reach the goal. I add some bricks to a back area, forcing a specific path. I also formulated a strategy where I would add a block completing a blockage, waiting for the group to move, and then remove and rebuild it on the other side creating a loop. ... I'm seated at a small table with a coworker, face to face. I'm giving her a status on something quality related. She happens to mention lucid dreaming as a topic she is interested in. "Oh yeah! I just had one of those last night!" I pause, and with all the mental quickness of a drunken sailor, come to the conclusion that since we are talking about lucid dreaming, perhaps I should complete a reality check. I plug my nose and try to breathe. I can...but I don't draw the conclusion...then I do a second check and it falls again. "Hold on, am I really dreaming right now?" I look at my hand as a third check, and sure enough, I have five fingers plus a thumb. This is a dream! I immediately take off and start flying [1]. As I float into the air I wave to my coworker. "Have fun working!" I fly off into the heights of the grocery store, and happen upon a ledge high above the shelves. I start going through what I need to do for goals, and remember my first goal is to summon (I forgot that I already achieved this in my last lucid). I decide to try and summon a puppy. So, I wish for a puppy to appear on the upper ledge area when I land and it comes fully into my view. No puppy. Boo. However, there were vases all around, so I decide to break them for fun. I lie down on the ledge, and remember that I was trying to teleport before. New tactic: I'm going to lie down, pretend I'm on grass, and then hope the rest of the scene transforms to match. It doesn't. Boo. I also find some doors and try to use them to teleport. Nope. [1] Fly.

Before WBTB Fragment: I'm at work, being questioned about a quality process. LC is there, gesturing toward an area of the production floor. There is a grid of square objects that I'm not familiar with. We're at the part of the floor where the fitness section used to be. Feeling is neutral. After WBTB Smol Pup: I'm driving with my girlfriend around our neighborhood. I asked her why we are out here, and she doesn't know. Later I've walked down to town and wandered into a store. My arm is resting on a side table, and I notice a small puppy's tail wagging and hitting my hand. He's a small little guy, and seems happy to see me. I feel a strong emotional bond immediately, but I don't RC. I start talking to the store clerk, and they are trying to sell the puppy to me. There is a second puppy, that is bigger, but also cute. ... I tell my girlfriend about the store and she wants to see the puppy, so we go back. We go back to the store and there is a back area with a bunch of cages and even more cats and dogs. There is a security guard there that isn't happy about our trespass, and the fact that we woke up the animals. You Can't Hurt Me: I wake up in bed, but I remember that I had just been doing a WBTB, so I do a nose RC. I can breathe. I'm dreaming! But my body feels really heavy. I remember what I read recently: The first thing I should do is take stock of the situation to help it stabilize. So, I stay in bed. "This is a dream. I just became lucid. I'm in a dream bed in my dream house." After a few moments, I try to get up again. It works. My body is free. I get up and out of bed. Closing the door behind me, I notice that the hallway is dark. "Lights up!" - but nothing happens. Oh well. I turn the corner into where my kitchen should be, but there is a wide open living room-kitchen setup. It resembles my landlord's setup, with the kitchen on the right and a bigger living area straight ahead. My girlfriend is on the right in the kitchen, my brother is further back in a living area, and his wife is further back in another den area. I try to make my girlfriend naked by looking at her and then looking away, but no cigar on that. I recall that I should start going for points...what was my three-step? Summon! My first step was summon! I vaguely consider what I should summon, and decide on a weapon. I think about a machine gun, and when I turn to look at a nearby kitchen table, there it is [1]. I pick it up and it reminds me more of a paintball gun than the real thing. Whatever. I don't actually want to hurt anyone here, so I start dotting the ceiling with bullets. The gun makes a muted sound, and leaves perfect bullet marks like in Goldeneye 64. My brother notices me doing this and asks me what the hell I'm doing. He pulls out a desert eagle and points it at me. "Go ahead and start shooting. This is a dream. You can't hurt me."[2] Come at me, bro. He starts unloading his weapon into me, and I feel nothing [3]. Rather than shoot him, instead I grab him by the leg and start throwing him around like a ragdoll [4]. He doesn't end up injured, but this does end the altercation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSbc1vn6O6I Not going to lie, it felt pretty damn good. Then I make my way over to a side room where my girlfriend is and do some naughty things with her. This wakes me up. I'm back in bed, but I remembered I was just dreaming, so I do another nose RC[5,6]. Still dreaming! I'm super excited that I had hit two out of my three tasks (I've never completed the three-task before!) but I forgot the middle one is "ask for advice" not "interact with a DC". Regardless of that, I decide that I want to try for #3: a teleport. I get up easily from bed this time, no body calibration needed. Though in retrospect maybe some stabilization would have been good. I open the bedroom door and enter the hallway. I decide that I will imagine Silverlight Forest on the other side of the wall, just out of my view. Rather than try the slower "turn and wish" method, I change up my style and take off at a sprint around the corner as fast as I can. I'm thinking "Forest! Forest! Forest!" hoping that I can finally make the teleport work. I accelerate to super speed [7], and the world starts to morph around me. I'm going so fast, I should have hit the far wall of the house by now, but nothing is impeding my motion. I get excited as I see a spec of green. Then another. And another. A green plains zone starts to form in front of me. It has World of Warcraft graphics. There are Fire Elementals dotted all over the field. The visual is now half house and half Warcraft, with digital blocks transitioning between the two. I'm excited that I'm going to pull off a teleport FINALLY! But before I can slow down and settle into the scene, I wake up. [1] Reality Check / Stabilization [2] Basic Summon [2] Interact with a DC [3] Gain Invulnerability [4] Super Strength [5] Catch A False Awakening [6] Reality Check [7] Super Speed
I have a false awakening and I'm in my room at night, in the dark. I can't fall back asleep and I get up to look out of the window. I see a comet fly by in the distance really fast and disintegrate. For some reason I'm thinking it might be the Halley comet, in my head I think I've read somewhere it would show up this year (this is not true), so I try to pick up my phone to look up when it was supposed to show up. I look out of the window some more and see some strange object with a few lights flying in the sky in a weird pattern before going out of view and I'm thinking to myself what I should do about it but I brush it off as not being important. Eventually, something clues me in that I might be dreaming and do a reality check, becoming lucid. Looking out the window again I wonder if I should fly out and explore. I levitate above the floor and prepare to fly out of the window, however shortly after I lose all my senses and everything is dark, I try to hold on to the dream. For some reason I start narrating the dream in my mind, thinking about how I'm descending to the "thoughts layer" and that "they" noticed my presence (I'm not sure what any of that means). I eventually wake up, shortly before my alarm goes off.
1. The Temple (LD) I'm aware as I'm looking at a tan an orange, stone structure to my left. It has a stone archway on the top portion and seems to lead to some type of open area underneath. I hear a male's voice in the distance and I wonder if I'm getting some input from waking life - I simply turn my attention away from it. I can't move at first, yet relax and begin floating upward into the scene. It's daytime and I see a bit of vegetation beneath me. I look ahead and see a large structure made of tan stone. The architecture is quite rigid; it contains all right angles with large, flat surfaces. I float up to an upper ledge, grab it, and hoist myself up. I stop and raise my hand out in front of me. I take a slow, deep breath, grounding. I walk forward around the edge of a large stone wall and begin thinking about control. I'll try a bit of transformation... I haven't done that in a little while. I shrink down to mouse form, yet feel that the limbs aren't 100%. I readjust, but want to try another form.. I revert to humanoid form then shrink down to cat form. I feel it's quite accurate, down to the curve in the spine, which I accentuate a bit as I walk. I turn toward a stone bridge leading to another large section of the temple structure and catch my cat reflection to the side. I begin to revert to humanoid as I walk across. I see a large humanoid shadow as I walk across. I reach the the next portion and begin to float to an upper portion. I wake up. 2. Sides Of Glass (LD) I'm sitting at a long table, with several people who appear to be eating. My awareness stirs. ...Dream?.... I become lucid. I stand up and float to the other side of the room, ignoring the group. I enter another room which is much larger and seems to have seating around the perimeter. Sunlight pours in through the long glass windows to the left portion of the room. Hmmm...what should I do? I think of element manipulation and as I raise my right arm. It's glowing in a dark purple color, appearing like dark smoke. I go to cast a shadow bolt, yet only see faint wisps stream out. I see that the glass walls to my left are quite thick and I decide to play with phasing. I slowly phase my body through, noticing how the visual field warbles as my head passes through the glass. I look down at my limbs, making sure they all pass through, then phase back in slowly. I then see a massive TV mounted on the far wall. It's roughly five feet tall and twelve feet wide. Suddenly, I feel a strong pinch in my foot - it actually hurts a bit. I notice that there's a young kid kneeling down in the area, seemingly doing something. "You need to stop doing that". He looks up at me, then seems to continue. I then feel a pinching in my ear. What's causing that? I think of super strength as I turn back to the TV, lift the entire thing off and let it drop down on the kid, pinning him to the floor. "Will you stop now?" I lift it back off and then chuck it across the room. The kids simply walks away. I float back through the glass, ready to explore outside. I notice a long cliff face in the near distance and green grass in bright daylight. I fly upward, ready to cast more elements. I cast my arm forward, going for fireball, yet don't see anything appear. The dream seems to destabilize a bit, so I decide to teleport quickly. I raise my right arm, yet the portal bracelet isn't fully formed. I fly to my right, casting into the wall. I see a slight bit of an undulating effect in the wall and fly right in. I continue to walk forward as I visualize Silvermoon. I wake up. Bow, Arrows, and Bears (NLD) I'm looking at a structure that appears to be traditional Japanese architecture with an open concept in the center. There's a massive bear-type creature in the front, facing toward me with a menacing grow. I begin to raise my bow. I see another large white bear behind it and take aim. I fire an arrow at it and see it stream to the right of the body. I fire another and see it head toward the front left leg. I can't tell if it sank in, and I continue to look. I wonder if that'll neutralize it.

Day 10 (dreams from this day are shortened since i wrote them down to my paper diary and i dont want to retype them) To the Pantheon - i was lucid in a pool with a friend, we talked (+2), then i climbed a (climbing) wall above the pool by sticking my hands into it, then a girl came into the room and started singing, i got out, took a cheese croissant (+5) from a shelf and stood on a table listening to her song, it was called To the Pantheon (doesnt exist) with lyrics about the Charybdis and it ended by one of the judges from our tv show 'Star Dance' becaming a king. i phased trough a door (+10) and the other room wasnt loaded, i saw it form from simple lines, geometric shapes and renders of objects and went back for the rest of the song Last dorm night (my last night in my dorm irl) - i was sitting on my bed talking to my roommates, then i asked one of them why he was there because he has already moved out, i began to be unsure and did a nose plug to become lucid (+1), almost instinctively went under his bed for a pizza (+5) which was kinda cold (+5), then went into a building that usually isnt there and phased trough a door i couldnt open (+10) went back and tried to teleport by having a castle on the other side of it, reopened it like 5 times but it was still the same dance studio, then Vendy walked in my direction with a dog, but randomly tuned around and started running away, i ran behind her and we got into this big room and suddenly huge ammounts of rats began flooding in, my friend snitched on me to her friends, she said she saw me phase trough a wall and that i summoned all hose rats and i was like 'wtf, i didnt do this' (+2), i climbed on a counter and had to shoot down rats with plates because they were forming rat ladders and climbing up Train - i was sitting on the toilet watching a youtube video of a hobo doing really bad magic tricks with an egg, then it was about train malfunctions and i was suddenly standing near train tracks, i became lucid and caught a single pasanger train (+5), figured i could take it to the castle i wanted to go to and started speeding it way up (+5) and my alarm rang Day 11 Enchented bow - i was in a hallway in my building with Zak and more old classmates, we were throwing cards and then neighbors came out, they were going to the same show we were waiting for and they dissed us for being engineers, we started leaving, i slid all the railings and then i saw this girl in a wheelchair and i started talking to her, turns out she was waiting for the neighbor and he forgot her there, we called him back i think, we went outside and i remember a sandstone tower standing there which i was adamant about climbing, but everyone was against it, it had something to do with the event, i recall talking to my friend about how i dont uderstand why noone else wanted to use our bows for a show at the event, then i became lucid and said (+2) it doesnt matter and showed him a shot out of an imaginary bow (+7.5) and hit a wall, it was a normal arrow (+10) from our perspective, but turned into 2 huge logs when we walked closer, i then wanted to shoot near a friend on the other side of the street, but it hit her and left only a circle of blood and pink person sized butterfly wings on the wall behind her, i didnt know what to do so i let everyone get ahead of me and i showered them with arrows from above to get rid of witnesses (acuall big piles of arrows and for some reason pencils), everyone just dissapeared when it touched them, i then went to my other friend who was standing there and asked what he would eat if he could have anything in the world to give it to him, he referenced a nonexisting story and didnt pick a food in the end, so i picked up an avocado off a street vendor's shelf and ate the first half (+5), i was back to thinking of getting points, so i floated the other half above my hand (+5) and tried to make it golden (missremembered my personal goal of making something colorless), i managed turqoise and then red (+7.5) which was good enough for me, i then wanted to try stopping time for the first time, i threw the avocado in the air and cast 'time stop' on it, it froze in the air (7.5) but a second one identical to it kept falling from the same spot and bounced around till it hit this lady which i apologised to and someone else who got up woke me up I put on my headphones and went back to sleep Pointless greed - i was near my front door and instantly wanted to teleport, decided to try spinning since i failed to do it with doors last night (1st time teleporting, i usualy 'find' my location), i was aiming for a castle to meet a king, i got into a stone hallway (+10) and had an interface with my net worth and a gold nuggent in front of me, for some reason getting that money up became my priority so i spent the rest of my time duplicating the nugget (+10)

Summer Competition 2024 - Night 11 1. The Firework Sky (LD) Where am I? I look around and see that I'm in a dim garage and begin to recognize it. San house, Meadow...I'm dreaming. I'm lucid. I head forward in the garage and float through the garage door. I begin thinking of the layout of Meadow in this area and head right, floating across the street. I head onto a driveway and look up at the night sky. I soon see a firework explode in the sky, casting green and pink light from its center. I then see another go off farther to the right. Just like earlier in the month. I look down the street again and see a couple of figures walking toward me. I snap to go invisible and head toward the street without them seeing me. I see another figure standing in the far distance, faint purple light glowing in the distance. The scene at the end of the road looks very surreal. I begin to run toward him, deciding to explore down there, then go for super speed. There's no distance...it's just an image. I suddenly zoom rapidly toward the destination. The figure is no longer there, yet I find myself in the middle of a three-way intersection among a few houses I'm interested in exploring. I see one to the right with lights on and an older couple sitting in a front room. I head farther left and decide to head into a slightly larger house with a brown exterior. I see a family at a dining table in a dining room to the back, having a late dinner apparently. I snap to go invisible and phase through the front window. They continue to talk, yet don't see me as I walk inside and head to the right. I may as well get something to eat. I head to the left, wondering if the kitchen will be there - I figure it must be as there wasn't much else to the right. I enter a large room at the left wide of the house with dark wooden cabinets situated around the walls. There's a large over in the center. I quickly find a small area in the right with many cabinets and figure it must be where they stock food. I find a several boxes and decide on a box of cookies as well as a cookie cereal. I head out through a side door and continue out by the side of the house in the night. I go to open the box of cookies and hope it's not too hard considering the plastic wrap. I try to tear it, yet don't have any success. I look on the ground, find a sharp stick, then pierce the plastic. I notice that inside there are just large brown sheets, about half an inch thick. I continue to walk toward the street as I take a bite, yet it just tastes like cardboard. I go to spit it out and walk a bit farther, yet I wake up. 2. Matcha (LD) This looks dreamlike...nose pinch, I'm lucid. Thought so. I'm standing in a bedroom in Meadow main house. I turn and phase through the bedroom door and head down the walk way. I fly over the railing and decide to get a drink before exploring the front. I'll have a matcha this time. I enter the kitchen, expecting a matcha latte being in the fridge to the right when I open it. I find it immediately on a shelf, grab it, and begin to head to the front of the house. I want to check that it's accurate, so I look inside and notice that the drink is a light green. Perfect. I head to the front and phase through the front doors. I just had some caffeine, so maybe my awareness will... I look up and the dream is highly vivid, along with a stable awareness. Awesome. I continue to walk down the walkway, heading right, considering where to explore. I wake up. 3. Meditation Above The Town (LD) I'm standing in a dim room. This seems like a dream. I'm lucid. I nose pinch and begin to look around. I see someone in bed and I sense that it's Bran. I stop, put my arms in front of me, and ground, taking five slow deep breaths. My awareness becomes more stable. I decide not to interact and to simply explore the area. I phase through the wall to my right and find myself flying high above in what appears to be an old town. It's daytime and I notice the buildings are all constructed from dark brown brick. The architecture seems more western European. I consider some goals and decide to go for phoenix. I raise my arm for the phoenix gauntlet, yet don't see it. I cast my arm forward and see a faint, large shadowy bird appear in the far distance, yet it's not very defined. I continue to fly, and look for the ring of elements, yet I don't have it on. I decide to go for some ice anyway. I cast my arm and see some snow flurries around my field of vision. I fly down and look over to the green hills to my right, noticing some small structures. I try to determine if any of the buildings seem to be reserved for me as in past lucids - nothing appears to be though. I feel this would be a cool place to come back to. I fly to the center of the town and decide to play around with gravity. I put a foot on the lower edge of a massive building, then flip gravity 90 degree. I see top edge of the building in the far distance and zoom across it, rapidly reaching the upper ledge. I flip gravity upright once again and reach the roof. I head to the far end and look around. I'll try time dilation and element manipulation. I sit on the edge and meditate for a moment. I then push the time sphere outward and contract it back inward - it's invisible this time. I then imagine the scene freezing over and I see shards of ice scatter on the periphery of my visual field. I stand up as things feel a little less stable, and I head to my left. I see a tree a consider ripping the entire thing out. The dream seems to be fading, so I drop down and begin rubbing the floor. I continue for a while, then head forward and tear the tree out. I could probably do that in real life though... I continue to rub as I visualize a scene. I soon see an image of my own face. I hold my awareness for a bit, then wake up. Katana Wall (NLD) I'm with a Anth and some other people in a large, rectangular, dim room. He's talking and we all look at a wall to our left. It has various art items, several of which seem to be in the shape of katanas. They're black with some reddish etchings on them. I head away from the wall and see that there are spots on either side of the room where seats used to be inserted. I see the anchor areas where the seats where, as in a car, and the felt depressions with metal in the area. I notice that almonds are scattered around the one to the right. I'm a bit embarrassed at first as I wonder if it was me who did that. I then think that it's Anth's spot so it must be his mess; apparently he likes almonds. I head back to the wall and find a large, curved scimitar. I pick it up off the wall and draw then blade. It's fairly thin and sharp. I show it to ant and begin to ask about a metal connection piece in the center which appears like a part that connects pipe. He explains it a bit more. Luna Rose Night 10 I'm walking in a dim area. Wait... this is a dream! I begin to walk forward a bit more, but lose lucidity. Night 11 I continue sitting at the table with several people, eating a wedding cake. Wait...we already had our wedding...this is a dream! I begin to walk off from the table, but wake up

LD: My partner and I are outside somewhere at a wooden banister/railing. There is a 70s style purse/fanny pack that a woman left on the banister. An imposing man in pink tank-top walks up to grab the purse, but I get to it first and hide it in my hoody. I know the man wants it for himself, and I’m keeping it safe for the woman. To distract him from the purse, I have him become interested in me instead. At this point I realize I’m dreaming and the scene shifts to my bedroom with the man. I extricate myself from the situation in order to explore lucidity in other ways. I snap my fingers for a new setting, and I’m transported into a Minecraft-like world. I first try mass telekinesis and lift a bunch of large car sized blocks off the ground and throw them in front of me. Next, I try and practice deity yoga and attempt at becoming a god. I imagine myself floating and filling with cosmic energy, but quickly deflate and fall back to the ground. I then ask the dream space if I can become a god. In a matter of moments I feel myself shine brightly with cosmic energy and I fly up through the atmosphere and into space. On the way up I try telekinesis again and am able to lift mountains. Once I’m in space I cannot see Earth or other planets so I try and summon them into being. After a moment, planets and cosmos whirl by. My lucidity starts to fade and I find myself shifted back into my bedroom and into a false awakening, which I catch with my hand reality check. Interestingly, the poking hand method fails and seems to be real, but I catch that I still have 6 fingers. The dream is dim now, so I try and spin and lick my hand to stabilize but the dream quickly fades NDL and fragment: I’m a young woman on a road trip to Scotland. Along the way I stop at a glass blower stall who only sells local/always sold out online (website is mostly red). There is a small chest full of simple glass rings of many colors and also earrings I think. The main purpose of going to Scotland was for some sort of fashion project. There’s almost a slideshow of dress designs/final outfits, switching between green and purple. The purple outfit was the final one. It was a pleated long dress with tight bodice. There was some sort of purple face covering, like 3 thick bands of ribbon. An array of curly beard, “tentacles” hang from the chin. A hat with furry rim and flat top. There is a song playing in the background, Last Days by Yasushi Yoshida My partner and I are packing to leave someplace. I also needed to shower but couldn’t find one in place we were staying in.
