lucid

The non-lucid part of the dream started in a city at night. I was about 15 feet in the air wearing roller blades or ice skates and I was riding the air up in down in the sky. I was above the sidewalks on the side of the road and would jump over the road and ride the air on the other side. That eventually took me to this part of town inhabited by people that really liked me. I got the sense that I was happy to show up because they were waiting for me and they thought I was a hero or something. So I showed up and they were happy to see me, I took one of the guys by the face who had dark hair and a bowl cut, I look into his eyes and they were cross-eyed. I turned around and started walking away.

I started to fly into the sky again and then I just had this thought of, "I'm Dreaming.... I'M DREAMING!" and everything exploded into vividness. I started to soar into the sky, excited. I looked to the left of me and my friend was floating in the air next to me but he looked like a cartoon. I looked forwards again to take in this vivid city with cars driving on roads and a train on a rail suspended in the air. I started to fly over the city and everything started turning into the tops of trees, but it was a fractal pattern of these green leaves and I was zooming over them very quickly. I look up and see the sky is painted a very beautiful purple to orange to yellow scene with clouds spaced in a pattern.

That scene gave away as I started to wonder what the next scene was going to be. The dark part of the sky started to morph as I was slowly floating downwards into this tall room. The room was lit purple as I'm floating down into this library with massive bookcases that are moving and organizing themselves. I float and touch down onto the aisle in between the bookshelves. All of the sudden, I get this thought "I want to meet my dream guide." And weirdly enough the first thing that pops into my mind is Pennywise from IT. A massive bookshelf starts shuffling down the aisle at me and Pennywise pops out from behind it and startles me, causing the entire scene to disappear, and it came back but now the bookcases are all tipped over and books are destroyed. There's this little robot thing that looks like Albert Einstein but shorter and much wider and the thing is talking in a sort of song-like manner.

Then, I appear in my old room from graduate school and I'm looking at my desk where this robot/computer with a giant screen is sitting. I told it "show me something cool" and it started to play "Warm Thoughts" by Flume and changing around different objects on the screen to the music. While it's playing music there's a door right next to it which keeps flying open and I'm just casually throwing it shut as I'm watching the computer screen. I turn around and start walking slowly towards the door. There are these clown robot things sitting out in the dark hallway and they're just spinning and turning to the music. I go out into the hallway and flip on the light switch. In the living room are two women, one with long blonde hair and one with short dirty-blonde hair sitting under covers on a couch who I think were kissing in the dark. When I hit the switch they kinda just squinted their eyes and were like "hey buddy, can you turn off the light we were in the middle of something" so I turned the light back off.

And then I woke up.

I did SSILD to get a lucid dream after a WBTB. This time, the efficacy of the technique dawned on me. It isn't about the cycles or how long you do them, it is about the mere act of paying attention. It's about the mental act of bring background noises, sensations and objects to the foreground of awareness; noticing subtle things like: how one's cloths touch the skin, how tense or relaxes muscles are, the sound of the fan, the chirping of the birds and crickets, the weird shapes in the darkness of vision.

The mere act of paying very close attention stimulates the mind to the extent that the next time I fall asleep, I can't help but notice I am dreaming. Of course, I've only done this one time so more trials are needed. This hypothesis seems very plausible and could explain why techniques I've invented in the past have worked - staring through the eyes, mindfulness meditation, SSILD, listening to the white noise in the ears; they all require me to pay attention during my WBTB period.

~~~

The dream featured me walking down my street and trying to stabilize the dream. I call out repeated for Gray to appear; the dream character I have chosen to act as a goal for dream control. No matter how many times I call out, she doesn't appear. I attempt to walk to the park around my home and make it far enough until I find myself in a hallway; the end of it being a bookshelf. I close my eyes in the dream and imagine myself having the ability to walk through solid objects. I phase through the shelf and find myself on the other side in a room.

I find Gray sitting on a park bench inside this room. We greet each other and the dream ends.

I entered into dream onto infinite plane and in front of me was very, but very nice blonde elf.
I wanted to touch her around shoulders to see how real it will feel, but she jerked away from me... as she jerked away from me I somehow tore her tunic apart making her naked.
There were other inactive DCs around and they went somewhat active and started to stare. One of DC started to sputter (like robot) something like: "He didn't hurt her" which he repeated again and again while starring on her. She just stood and tried to cover herself. Unfortunately there was nothing much to use.
So I closed distance to hand her that ravaged tunic back, but she quickly embraced me... I felt her whole body on myself... interesting feeling. I hold her in close embrace a few minutes till dream faded away.

INT. SEMINARY - DAY

I walk down the hallway at the graduate school where my father teaches. Two or three other people pass me. I look an old man in the eye and realize I'm dreaming. What to do with my lucidity? I know, I'll look for Jesus himself!

ME
Show me Jesus!

But he doesn't come. Maybe he's around the next corner?

I'm waking up and I instinctively jerk myself out of sleep.

In waking life I've been listening to Bart Ehrman's audiobook, How Jesus Became God. Next time practice some stabilizing techniques and try to stay asleep.

Regular Dream - Semi-lucid Dream - Lucid Dream - Notes

Note: I just has the longest and most epic dream I have had since forever! I took a melatonin pill last night to aid in recall and I have been reading dream journals here and thinking about dreams, and I think it is really helping! At least it did last night!

I am at school. I am in a computer class and we are dividing up into groups. Allison is in the class, and a couple others that I know. I am wanting to be in Allison’s group but she ends up forming a group with others and I am left out, so I end up getting placed in a group where there is still room. I don’t know anyone else in my group and I am not happy with it. Class lets out and we all leave class. I am upset and I avoid Allison, but a bit later we both end up at a pool that is at the school. I was going to get in the pool but Allison and her friends are there. We get into it, we have some pretty heated words, it ends up with both of us really pissed off at the other one and we part ways.

Later on I go to bed. I start dreaming. I find myself walking down a path at night that looks like some kind of fantasy forest. There are over-sized mushrooms that I think look like fairy houses and there are strange lights glowing amongst the trees. I think this fantasy world is not real, I must be dreaming. I do a nose pinch RC and I can breathe while pinching my nose. I become lucid.

I now remember the argument I had with Allison and I feel awful about it, I want to find her in this dream and make up. I continue down the path, now I am calling out to Allison, hoping I can find her in the dream and apologize for my part in our earlier argument. I want to say I got more upset about being in a different group than I should have and we can’t all be in the same group so it’s no big deal, I said things I shouldn’t have. I get no answer, but I find a town. I fly over the town, calling Allison. There are people in the town looking up at me and pointing and talking. I keep flying and calling, looking for Allison.

I fly over a larger city. I see a big display screen that’s showing the news. I get close enough to hear and I realize I am the news. The reporter is talking about the woman flying all over the place looking for her friend Allison and anyone with information should call in immediately. I keep flying and I see someone waving to signal me. I fly down and a woman says she saw Allison. I follow her to a theater that is dark and empty except for a few people. Allison is in one of the seats looking as upset as I feel. Her other friends are seated around her glaring at me. But they don’t interfere when I go over and sit down beside Allison and apologize for getting so upset. We make up and have a friendly hug and then I wake up.

But it was a false awakening. I wake up in bed and sit up. I start talking about the dream to record on my iPad that I have set up with a voice activated recorder. I record as much as I can remember and then I stop. I rub my sleepy eyes and then my itchy nose. Then I notice that even when I had my nose pinched almost shut while rubbing it I could still breathe freely. I do a full nose pinch RC and I find I can still breathe. But that can’t be… am I still dreaming? I repeat the RC and become lucid as I realize I am still dreaming.

I leave my room and I find my mom on the front porch of our house. She is just watching the birds around our bird feeder. I tell her that I am dreaming. She doesn’t believe me but I tell her I can prove it by making us both fly. She decides to humor me and let me try. We walk over to the stairs and I help her into the air. We both fly away from our house. My mom is amazed and now believes me. I fly with her down over the city, though the city is much larger than the actual city of Tucson where we live. My mom looks at a billboard that shows an advertisement for a live action version of the anime series Voltron. She seems interested in that so I tell her I can give her a better preview than that. I fly with her over to a tall building and we land on the roof.

Once we are on the roof I walk over near the edge and yell, “VOLTRON!” The sound of my shout sounds like I just did a thu’um as done in Skyrim, it is extremely loud. And then the five lions arrive. The black, blue, green, red, and yellow lions fly in from different directions. I take my mom into the air again to get her the best possible view of the formation of Voltron. All five lions come together and Voltron is formed. The huge robot clearly has my mom impressed, which surprises me. I had never thought she would be interested in Voltron. I look at the advertisement billboard again. It lists the names of the pilots, but they aren’t the same pilots as in the anime. I specifically notice that the pilot of the blue lion is different, though it is still a woman.

As Voltron seems to be showing off I see something else going on. A giant robeast version of Freddy Krueger has arrived on the scene! I land on a building with my mom where we can see what is going on without being in danger. Voltron engages the robeast Freddy Krueger in battle. The fight goes for a bit, but then it looks like Voltron is losing! Voltron forms the Blazing Sword but Freddy knocks it aside! Freddy is laughing and knocks Voltron down into some buildings. Voltron isn’t getting up.

I tell my mom that maybe I have to stop Freddy because an actually dreamer has to do it, an element of the dream won’t be able to do it. I leave my mom and fly towards Freddy. I use my voice sounding like a thu’um again, but this time I say, “I have the power!” I transform into something that looks like She-Ra from the old cartoon, but I’m too small! I repeat the thu’um “I have the power!” several more times, growing larger with each repetition. Now I am equal to Freddy in size. I am ready to fight him now.

I go over to engage Freddy in battle. We grapple for a bit, I push Freddy away from me and then fus him right in the face with one loud and powerful, “FUS RO DAH!” Freddy flies backwards and crashes into a couple of buildings, landing not far from Voltron. I go over to the fallen Voltron and pick up the Blazing Sword. Freddy gets back up and comes at me, I fight him using the Blazing Sword as a single handed sword. I have him retreating, he is trying to block sword attacks with his finger knives and it isn’t proving too effective.

Now Freddy backs off a bit, he seems to be trying to connect to the dream around him with tentacles that look like those of the daedric prince Hermaeus Mora from the Elder Scrolls games, the tentacles are grabbing onto and boring into the dream world, changing it into a nightmare wherever the tentacles touch. I take flight and cut the tentacles with my blazing sword as quick as I can to keep him from transforming the dream. When I have cut all the tentacles I fus him again and this time while he is down I run the sword right through his chest where his heart should be. This time it works, and he lets out a loud cry of rage or pain or both before he turns to dust. I am looking at the huge pile of dust when I wake up to my cat’s meows. I am annoyed at my kitty because I’m afraid she will keep me from remembering the dream. I do a quick nose pinch RC to find I really am awake this time.

Date of Dream: WED 6 MAR - 2019



Dream No. 553 - Planes And Grapes
Lucid Dream 34

I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was walking into the gates of Killester College. I was looking around the place for WB but I couldn’t find her. As I continued to wander around, the environment seemingly turned into a similar surrounding to my primary school. I then had the intention to ride some sort of plane with my teddy bear guard friends. I see planes, all identical to each other, flying in the sky but none of them are coming down. I ended up thinking to myself, “Have I missed the plane?”.

Eventually though, one of the fighter planes came down and it looked exactly the same as the blue planes from Crash Bandicoot 3. The teddy piloting that plane was Sierra (an OC in my stories). She had the exact same appearance as I would envision her to have within my drawings. We did speak but I forgot what we said to each other. The plane revved up but she didn’t necessarily fly it anywhere for the time being. The dream ended up moving to the next scene.

I was now in the car with my family and we were driving along the Monash Freeway. I looked at a sign which said one road name on it; when I looked back though, I realise it had changed and this had caused me to become lucid. My parents told me that when we reached our destination, we could have to drive the car into an elevator. This had me very concerned and so I stuck my head out the window and kept calling for 18-Volt. I started to feel that tingling sensation to force awake and so I retreated. Further on the drive, I saw signs that indicated not the maximum speed but rather the minimum speed on each lane.

The dream then ends me up at the supposed location but I end up meeting up with Sierra who flew the plane down. I figured that we all had to wear headsets. In the meantime, I was worried and was panicking that there was no sign of 18-Volt. Eventually though, he came out of the elevator, meaning I now had a sense of relief. He started off by interacting with my parents as well as some others but he came to me shortly after.

There was this feeling coming down on me to suggest that there wasn’t much time before we had to drive our vehicles into the elevator. I got stressed and urged 18-Volt to put a headset on, He stepped insight the small fighter plane and picked up one of the beige headsets. When the dream showed him next though, he was still wearing his blue headset. His appearance was based on Warioware Gold but then he was slightly different and also strangely very small in size. Despite his size though, he had managed to hold me and it still felt snug.

The dream then moved to the next scene but I was now lo longer lucid. I was at my other grandparent’s place and UD (Now UU - Married) and AD were there as well. There was this weird meal being served up for lunch called "Agarto". My grandma then showed me a machine that she uses to make wine but in the way the grapes would be crushed, I found this very gruesome and in a way, scary. The grapes would swell up to a humongous size and then they would explode. Once all the grapes had swollen up and then exploded, creeping me out, the dream ended.



Dream No. 553
Dream Guide: 18-Volt
Lucid?: Yes

Semi Lucid

Become lucid wandering in some house. There are some boxes everywhere. they are all white and every size you can imagine. I open one box and it takes me into another room that looks like the same house. The rest of it is foggy but I'm basically finding more hidden rooms which lead to different houses with more hidden rooms etc.

Oh no

I'm flying above drumheller with Jamie. Some force hits me from behind and I launch right into a rocky foothill. My mouth is bloody and full of sand.

Thank you

First as I'm falling asleep, I see Jesus in profile. He looks different in almost every dream. I remember in one he was actually a black man.

suddenly I'm in a dark room sitting on a chair in front of a screen, like a laptop or a TV. There is an electronic device under my hand. It could be a touch screen phone or a mouse. I feel another hand go over that hand I look to my right and it's Jamie. She's smiling and is warm. She nods and we both push the button on the device. She then goes and pulls out a Rolodex or something. My impression is that these are memory files she then has to sort through.

Days later while awake I decided to finish another message to her. Being more thorough this time. I spend hours typing, revising, deleting and rewriting. I fit it down to the 20,000 character limit that facebook messaging allows. Although there is so much more to say. I'm nervous as hell, take my dog for too many walks and smoke like crazy. when I am satisfied with my composition. i paste it all into the message box. go out smoke again go for another walk. go back to it. I have my hand over the mouse almost deciding again not to send. I then remember the dream, Jamie's hand over mine. We were pushing the send button together. Then going through memory files? are we finally going to compare notes? I click: send.

Created Saturday 04 May 2019

Got a DILD, and various other things.

Scrap Group 1
Something about a monkey and ice cream. Said animal jumps leaps atop my head. I wake up realizing it was actually just that cat doing the same.

In DV's Chat. There was quite a bit of activity.

Dream 1 - Pointy Cloud Search

The visuals were slightly blurred. I was walking outside for exercise during a warm day. While near the complex's exit, I overhear two women mentioning 'a cool area on the pointiest cloud'. Curious, I flew towards the sky to look for such. That such flight felt just like detachment brought instant awareness. Still, I continued with the search for fun.

I made it over a cloud just a few hundred feet off the ground, though a rather wispy one. The sky was now mostly clear. I hurried west and upwards, before finally finding a proper nimbus. Wasn't too pointy at the top, but good enough. I touched the summit, though it wasn't that cool, just about arriving at a proper nimbus. This didn't feel all that cool, maybe as cold as a buried stone, but that's about it.

An (unintended) distant 3rd-person perspective revealed the cloud was assuming the shape of a structure. I purposefully begin changing it to the likeness of an ice castle. When I realigned my vision, I found I was instead on a vast radio tower, standing atop the highest of one of many layers of red panels attached to steel frames.

Soon after, a colossal figure arose from the clouds below. This was a thin, tanned skinned woman about the size of Lady Liberty. She was dressed in a black tanktop, and her black hair was tied in a simple, practical bun. Within seconds, we were face to face. She offered a lift. So, I grabbed on to the end of her high-bridged nose. The giantess made her way down the tower. But, her sudden glance downwards almost sent me tumbling. I barely clambered back on to her shoulder. She apologized, and waited until I safely clung myself on to her neck before continuing.

Several more remote viewings of the events occurred. The two of us spoke momentarily, though I don't recall of what. The dream collapsed shortly after.

Scrap Group 2
In a darkened room. A lithe, pale nagini was huddled in the corner. She was very timid.

Several dreams where I was (partially) remotely controlling person. Almost got aware each time.

Regular Dream - Semi-lucid Dream - Lucid Dream

2019, 04-30

I am in a small house that must be owned by a troll. No one else could stand to live in such filth. The place smells like something crawled in about a week ago and died. It makes me think I might vomit. I see movement. But surely nothing could live in this filth... I see a strange cat come out of the shadows and meow. KITTY! The cat is scruffy and has two extra legs hanging from its abdomen, but being the HUGE cat lover that I am, I see the beauty in any cat. And its little smooshed face is still cute. I get down and approach the kitty, reaching out to stroke it. The cat's fur is matted, this cat needs a groomer, but the cat purrs. I hear a voice behind me. I look and see there is a person in the room, an old woman. She looks like the old crone disguise used by the evil queen to trick Snow White into eating the poison apple. She looks puzzled and says Musty doesn't usually let anyone pet him. I say I have a way with cats, I love every cat.

The old woman soon says, "Put your clothes on for your father's sake!" and I realize I'm naked. That seems odd, so I pinch my nose to see if I'm dreaming. I can still breathe with my nose pinched so I know it's a dream. I quickly put on my clothes. Now I'm ready to leave. I head for the door, but the old woman says there is one more thing we have to do. I ask what that is. She comes so close to me that I can smell the stink coming off of her, she smells like she's the dead thing stinking up this place.

The woman fiddles with a gold coin as if trying to hypnotize me. She whispers something in my ear about cutting my hair off after having sex, then she laughs. I ask her if she's gone mad, why would I do that? She gets mad at that and says maybe she should send me back to the mayor blind, deaf, and dumb. The parts Mayor Thorin values would still work. I say maybe I should fus her into Oblivion. She gives me a puzzled look, "You'll what me to where?" She then says that sounded like a threat and I'd better watch my pert mouth before I really rouse her anger. She is trying to sound angry but I think she just feels confused as to why her hypnosis failed.

I leave the house and I lose some lucidity, and the angry woman slams the door behind me. I look up at the stars, taking deep breaths of the clean air. I look back at the small house as I am about to leave and I see a weird pink light inside a window. I peek inside and see the old woman holding a glowing pink crystal ball. The light actually makes her look young, but I can sense the malevolent negative energy coming off of it. If she uses it too much it will consume her, or maybe it already has. I now want to rescue the cat. I creep back to the front door and ease the door open. The woman was looking at the crystal ball in her bedroom so she doesn't see. I lean in a little and quietly call to the kitty. The mutant cat comes over for pets. I gently scoop the cat up, making sure not to accidentally hurt him. I close the door and hurry down the path with the cat in my arms. I am trying to think of the best way to introduce the cat so that I can keep him when I wake up.

I close my eyes I'm in a infamy chain trying to jolt to the left in my dreams where I subside into subconscious reasoning where I install word that I don't say on a daily basis
when awoken and subconscious I start falling turning into a chemical reaction of dull liquids I then start to morph and form into a dull orb floating as the orb starts to float I become very hypertension the stretch out into a web of white clouds as my formless falling body I can still feel myself in the dream and laying down at the same time I concentrate for a brief second to say what I had to say subconsciously I wonder when I'm talking in dreams so I try to talk yet it was jus gasping silent voice from me trying to become more lucid as this is done I see a sphere world

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

Going through a beautiful old city. I find it similar to some place I've been before (not actually, but that was the feeling in the dream). I find a little shrine on the wall of an ancient building, I notice it is damaged compared to when I last saw it. Seems to have had some water infiltration and erosion. Then I notice some strange objects semi-buried in the wall. I check and find a kind of stone with different semi-precious gemstones in it. Old ladies pass by and look at me with disapproval, but I don't feel that I am doing anything wrong.
Then I go down a street where these old ladies live in and one of their neighbors is throwing away a few decorative items from her house, that are actually antiques with some value and I ask if I can keep them. She's ok with that. I wonder if I can fit all that in my luggage when I travel back home, but I take a chance.
On my way to the place I am staying, I come across a big parade party of young people, some of which I know, all heading towards same place I am going. I join the party, I drink a bit, but draw the line when they start dancing a silly choreography from some current hit song I never heard of and hope never to.
We pass by a truck where a dude is sleeping on top of the truck, sunbathing practically naked. It is Avelar. I pretend I don't see him, although I am happy to see him. I have the strange feeling he is there because of me. When the party is coming to an end, at early dawn, I pretend to be falling asleep sitting against a wall, where others are also taking a rest. Then some friends come pick me up to take me to wherever we are staying. Avelar has surely seen me by now but neither him nor I acknowledge each others presence.
On our way, we stop by a grocery store, but it is in such a bad neighborhood that they have the most unwelcoming entrance. We have to crawl under a slight opening of a sliding door, then climb a balcony and land in the middle of the workstation of 3 ladies that work there. Then they open a door with a grid, that allows us in to buy groceries. I comment how old people from the neighborhood can't possibly buy food there.

Some walks up and down the city, semi-lucid, enjoying the architectural details and enjoying a slide down a hill to a coastal area, while listening and singing a Portishead music. Then arrive home, which has some similarities to my childhood's house but totally different place and disposition. My dad is there. He is being unpleasant about something, trying to control my life as usual. So I go to my room. I can still hear him and know that he is coming in, so I decide to go out the window. But we are on a precipice kilometers high above the ocean. I recall that I am dreaming and I can just jump and fly, so I do that, but all my father sees is me jumping and he runs to the window in distress thinking I killed myself. I feel compassion for my dream dad and I go back to tell him "look, I know you think very little of me, but I am fine. You see, we're dreaming and I have all sorts of powers that I use at will. I am fine, I don't need your help." He has no reply and slowly fades away.
I fly away, enjoy it for a while, then land back home, but now alone and think what to do next. I sink my hands on a wall to reinforce lucidity and decide for the first time to also eat the wall and taste it. Zero taste.
Then decide to try something I have been wanting to try for some time. Oral sex on myself. I contort myself in impossible ways and yes I do it. It is very weird because I am still watching from my head in its normal position as another head with my face comes up from between my legs and does it. I feel simultaneously the me doing the oral sex and the me receiving the oral sex. More than the physical sensation, it's the feeling of being two and being one at the same time that I feel more interesting in this experiment. Not something I can explain, you really need to experience yourself.

22 Apr 2019

I appear in a dream scene which is just building around me. My awareness is high and as if I am really ready for this. (I have been thinking about having an ld but not much other induction that night, although I did check the task of month in order to have a purpose in case a lucid happens).

As I look around the shaky environment, I recall the Red & Black clothes task for this month. There is a female DC with whatever original clothes she was wearing. I change them to red, then to black. One's a T-shirt with something in white written on it, the other more like a robe. I realize I can't recall whether we had to change from red to black or vise versa, so I change the color of her clothes multiple times just to be on the safe side. I make a note that this color change wasn't as difficult as I had for some reason expected.

End of memory

Had 1 Lucid dream

#527 DILD

I am in some church service. I feel so tired and dosing off. I feel I am holding someone’s hand. I think it’s my wife. I open my eyes and see my FIL reaching across my wife and holding my hand. He’s smirking. I remember he’s dead but I think I must be half dreaming. The next thing I know I wake up and the service is over. I still feel out of it and can hardly open my eyes to see where I am going. I see my dead grandmother following me. I know she is dead but again I think I am half dreaming or hallucinating. After a moment, I stop and hug her knowing people must see me hugging someone invisible like she’s a ghost. In the parking lot some people finally notice I am having a hard time and start asking me what’s wrong. I say I don’t know I think maybe I need to see a doctor. I wake up.

Later, I dream that I am running an electrical test on a wire harness from but I am hooking up the washer and dryer at my house somehow. I walk away because I need some alligator clips. I am at work now and I run into Ryan. I get pissed because he’s installed some extra software on the computer and I have no idea what I am looking at. I think about going to IT but I just decide to leave. I wake up.

Some fragment about how I am able to fly and hover easily. It feels natural. Just a thing I can do.

I wake up determined to get lucid as I watch HI. After some time, I notice I am on a skateboard and have stopped to look at a loose bolt on the trucks. I realize I am in a dream and I float away. I fly high in the sky and see some blue sky and clouds but the dream turns mostly dark. I don’t get caught up on the lack of visuals. Instead, I enjoy the physical sensation of flying. At one point it feels like I am swimming super-fast in water. I laugh and deeply enjoy it for as long as it lasts. Suddenly I feel the chemical change in my head. I know I am waking up. I try to hold on. I get a visual of my shoes where I left them in the hallway. I wake up.

Haven't had anything worth sharing/not too personal to post in quite some time...

Spoiler for Wordy, as usual:

Dream 1 - Wondrous Cruise Liner

Scene 1 - Brief Infinite Cruise
The visuals were quite blurred. I was approaching the upper deck of a luxury cruise ship, a larger-than-life vessel as vast and lively as it was ostentatious. Colorful, blinking lights were strewn on its walls and on wires running through the area. Wherever one looked, a pool and festive lounge was in view.

I got spontaneously aware. Without wasting a moment, I zapped away at random. I'd somehow changed a nearby girl (one who appeared remarkably similar to Alice from Lewis Carrol's namesake novels) a 20ft+ giant. I then hurried into a dark hallway. Things began deteriorating, not surprisingly. I instantly conjured the Infinity Gauntlet in my right hand. But, the Gems themselves weren't colored properly. In fact, at least three of them glowed green. Still, I channeled power from the gauntlet. Pity I didn't think to do much else with it. The dream destabilized. Unknown warps and non-lucid scenes before transitioning to below.

Scene 2 - Terror Voyage
Similar visuals as above, if dimmer. I was lost in a winding hallway. Dim lights revealed no obvious exits, only metallic walls that stretched endlessly. The moisture-ladened air I breathed was as still as it was silent. I "knew" I was within the lower decks of a cruise ship, likely the same one mentioned above. I also "knew" I was trespassing in places a passenger wasn't supposed to wander. Confusion to the matter brought more uneasiness than the emptiness around me.

In time, I realized what was wrong: I was only a few inches tall. That's when a normal sized figure, a colossus from my perspective, loomed in from behind. This was a savage looking woman, a female scantily dressed in torn animal skins, her light skin reddened and mottled by years of sun exposure, and her thick, brown hair long and unruly. I now "remembered" the reason for my plight. This woman was actually a witch. Quite some time ago, she'd shrunken down everyone aboard the ship. She then proceeded to devour any victim she could catch. It had been a few days since the incident started. Reckoned I was one of the few survivors left, if not the only one...

Before she could close in, I leaped towards some exposed pipes. Unfortunately, these all were bent into sheer upward inclines, impossible to climb. I hid as deep as I could, and prayed this would throw my pursuer off my trail. She passed through seconds later, but just as quickly, returned to investigate. The huntress sniffed around vigorously in my direction, then glared momentarily. Seemed like my capture was inevitale. But, suddenly, she about faced, and left me be.

Timeskip at least half a day later. I was making my way down the hallway again, when the giantess resumed her pursuit. Once again, I jumped into a smaller space, an opened panel within the wall. As before, this only went so deep. The witch caught my scent once more, only to turn away at the last second. What was she doing? Far as I could tell, she was dragging the hunt on for sport. How thoughtful...

As soon as she vacated the area, I hurried on out the hallway. In fact, I was actually flying around. Somehow, I ended up on the upper deck, the space, of course, now far more empty. Glancing at the pools got me thinking, perhaps chlorine water could mask my scent? I took a short dip, if only because I dislike pool water rather than because of how deep it was. With that, I launched myself off the ship (something I should've tried much earlier). But, somehow, I was dragged back in by a mysterious force.

Unknown transition.

Scene 3 - Just Another Caper
Similar visuals. I was in the deck of the same cruise ship, only now, it appeared far more extravagant than before, swankier than even the swankiest mansions. I was teamed up with this dude dressed in a gold jumpsuit and adorned with gaudy jewelry, shades, and other accessories. I "recalled" we were part of a team of notorious criminals, pulling ridiculous heists all throughout the globe. This super-yatch served as both our base of operations and as a "pleasure vessel". Indeed, the two of us were infamously loose when it came to the matter of women (big personality contrast here...). Over the years, we'd amassed a horde of mistresses, many of which lived in the ship with us (along with the scores of children we'd bore them). Of course, this meant we were haunted by the specters of alimony; even minuscule oversight could shatter our otherwise solid financial situation. As it so happened, many of the mistresses (underdressed and aged ungracefully) had stamped out at that very moment to "calmly" discuss the matter. My fellow criminal I decided to do the logical thing: we abandoned ship! This was, after all, just the latest in a long list of capers.

Don't recall how this ended.

Scrap Group 1
Playing a Sonic game, one similar to Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Think my bros and/or my nephew were watching. The first stage was called Magma Zone, yet it looked pretty much like Angel Island Zone. Upon reaching the end, Robotnik amushes Sonic with a wide, metallic hoverpad. I unwittingly found a way to breeze through it. This even included the second phase, where Eggman detaches his classic Eggmobile from the pad, but I defeated him too quickly to even see what it does. Disappointed, I reset the game to at least give him a fighting chance.

In an unknown room with an unknown group of people. We have a discussion on the Japanese language. Namely, on various words that end with 'tsu' and 'su', and differentiating between each.

Browsing the web. I find a 16th century image of colossal ogress ravaging a mountainside. She was depicted as a particularly hairy woman with otherwise ordinary features. On closer inspection, her hair (head, body, and facial) were actually plants and trees.
