non-lucid

I didn’t feel all that great yesterday, so I gave myself a break and didn’t sleep with any strong dream recall intentions.



Dream 1

I'm in the PA house*, hall bedroom on the right. I'm laying in the bed and I notice there's all of these dead looking plants hanging in transparent green 3D printed plant pots** on the wall. There's about five of them in a row.


They look like they really need water and they're leaves are all hanging down. The leaves are bowl shaped and they're holding some water in them.

Sunlight begins to hit the wall as the sun rises and it hits the first plant. The leaves respond by slowly lifting up to their full height, causing the water to stream down from the leaves into the soil. I think to myself "So that's why its leaves are shaped like that.. A plant that waters itself!"***

The sun spreads across the wall as it dances through the blinds and various trees from outside. Each plant responds to the sunlight the same.



Dream 2 (probably a continuation from the first dream)

I'm in the PA house, living room. There's music playing from the speakers. There's some sort of family gathering and everyone is doing art, I only remember specifically seeing Katie's face. I'm not too interested in what's going on here.

I go upstairs to the bedroom at the end of the hallway. In here there's also speakers in sync playing the same song which was “Savage Garden - I Want You”****. I turn the volume up to the max and lean my forehead against the system and close my eyes. The bass is rippling through me and it feels like I'm getting a full body massage. It’s so strong I feel like my heart is skipping beats. I say 'woah' but it comes out all choppy from the music.



Dream 3

I'm some sort of superhero and I'm writing a letter to a little girl. I'm trying to break it to her that I'm losing my superpowers.

I draw an image of me flying with a cape, holding a car over my head.


Then I draw an image of me walking, explaining that I can't fly anymore.


There were a few more images and notes that I forget. I finish the letter writing that I'm still working on making the world a better place but now I'll have to do it like normal people.

I say something about how we have the same abilities now and that she can be a superhero too.


* I should focus more that this place is a dream sign.
** The same plant holders I printed a few years ago for fun.
*** Another often dream sign seems to be these ‘aha!’ moments where I’m trying to understand something.
**** This is most likely because I checked out the DV Discord recently and listened to a song Lang shared that made me think ‘This sounds so much like savage garden’

Dream 1

I’m jumping up from floating circular platform to circular stone platforms with simple circular Celtic designs on them, they’re ascending. I look down to see where I came from, more circular platforms spiral down into the blackness. Besides the platforms, I don't see anything else that exists.


Dream 2 - I woke up around 5:30-5:45am briefly to change positions but decided to try to recall my dream which came to me very easily. I decided to try writing it down now rather than when I wake up later like I usually do.

I'm in the PA house, downstairs by the Ivy window. I realize I only have until the end of the day to finish and submit an assignment. On my phone it shows as a red 7 hrs left (till midnight) - so I guess it was 5:00pm in this dream

Some guy is outside in a truck slowly driving through the neighborhood. I look and see that the driver is a really young guy and that his full sized truck is actually a really souped up ATV (allowing him to drive it without a license) - making me think he must have some pretty wealthy parents.

He notices me watching him and revs up the hill.

I avoid my homework by going out for a bicycle ride. It's nice and sunny out. I begin going down a hill.

I notice some people that fell on the road and I almost hit them so I brake as hard as I can and pull to the right, I hit into the bumper of a parked car.

There's two men and a lady. One man and the lady were in the grass on the side of the road, and the other man was in the middle of the road.

They must've been riding as well, as their bikes are nearby, I'm not sure how they fell.

I go over to help one guy up who looks like he'd be a giant if he were standing, like maybe 9 ft tall. I grab his arm then lean back to help lift him as he stumbles to his knees, then rocks back to the balls of his feet before standing upright to his massive height.

The way he went through the motions of getting up had me saying to him "woah, easy there transformer!" And then I produce the 'transforming' sound effect from the old show. It comes out of my mouth/throat with these crazy electronic-robotic vibrations/sounds and is a completely accurate representation of the sound*, my awareness spikes from how strange this is and I almost get lucid! We look at each other like in a 'How the fuck did that just happen' kind of way.

We both laugh for a sec over how weird that was. As my semi-lucidity dims.

I check on the others that are on their feet now, and one of them was director Paul, which I am so surprised to see here (also semi lucid)

"Wow, hey what's up Paul how've you been?" He's also surprised to see me and a bit embarrassed over the situation.

I say that I've got to get going, which I can tell rubs Paul the wrong way. I think he wanted some fanfare in front of his friends or something. As I'm walking away I can hear the woman (one of the ppl that fell) ask Paul "oh, you two know each other?" And I barely heard Paul respond "Yeah, we've worked on some film projects together...."

Then another woman pops up and is walking with me "You know Paul too huh?" She asks. She's has an energy about her of assertiveness and exudes confidence in how she walks. She's wearing a light colored, kind of flowy dress and possibly boots?

I fill her in on how Paul and I know each other a bit, I don't think she really cares about that, it's more like she's on a mission for us hanging out which I'm fine with, she has a really fun energy to her.

We're walking to my place now, apparently I live in an apartment that is attached to the airport. We're walking down a long hall at the airport that leads to my apt.

She kind of side hugs me while we're walking and mentions something about messing around when we get there. I tell her that I think she's great, but will have to pass since I'm currently in a relationship. She jokingly lets go of me and straightens up and does a quick salute and says "yes sir!" In the deepest voice she can muster, before relaxing and getting closer again, holding my arm.

We're coming to the end of the airport hall now and Jenny is the security guard there! She has shades on and smiles brightly at us and hands my companion a pair of sunglasses saying "Now with the other ones I gave you, you've got a set" , but then sort of realizes that she's not Tami and frowns a little and looks at me like 'hrmmm?', I just think "eh it's not like that Jenny'' and slightly shake my head at her, but don't say anything and we keep walking. My new sidekick is looking at the sunglasses. I notice the sunglasses are two toned and I point out how the colors match her dress, she likes that and puts them on the top of her head.

We stop at a desk on the way to the apartment as the dream begins to fade and she shows me something she's written down, it's hard to remember what but it was sort of in a crossword puzzle-style. She holds it right in front of my face for a bit and raises her eyebrows as if she was expecting me to clue in on something.

I don't remember what else happened, I have the feeling we made it into the apartment but the dream ended at entering the door. I don't know if this is because I'm writing this down at 6:00am right after the dream rather than when waking up later, but holy shit the details are clear. And that feels like the first dream which someone in it felt like a real person, that woman. It was like she was aware of something. Everyone else felt like regular dream characters. I got close to lucidity a few times, wooo!

*I ended up finding this sound online and I can't believe how accurately it was reproduced in the dream

No recall from last night, going to put down my dreams from the previous night though.


Dream 1

I’m in a hospital waiting for a surgery or something. Two nurses begin prepping a ‘surgical pool cue’ for me. I have to hold it and rotate it slowly as they glue round metallic objects on the end of it. There were some technicalities regarding the cue tip as it had to be designed based on a fraction of the measurements of my body, though it just looked like a normal (but metallic) cue tip to me.

After the surgery I find myself at home and I’m describing to Tami how funny the idea of a ‘surgical pool cue’ was, but also just how well made it felt. For example how polished it was, it was more like an art exhibit piece.

Then we both notice it beside me and that I must’ve accidentally brought it home with me. So I started showing it to her in person, but it’s kind of different than before. Now it’s kind of got this textured wavy dark pattern all over it which makes me a little upset that it didn’t match my previous description to Tami - it made me feel like I betrayed her in some small way by not providing an accurate description of it.


Dream 2

I’m piloting a large mech, one of the arms I control has a massive drill on it. I head over to the side of a dirt hill which is sheared and vertical, like some massive machine just took a chunk out of it.

I test out the drill on this dirt wall for fun and it very easily carves into the wall. I felt free and really enjoyed how intuitive all of the movements were in this mech.

I then head over to a cliff which overlooks a very large lake. There’s a man there and he points out a massive truck-like vehicle that sits at the bottom of the lake. It's very rusty and looks ancient, it’s a beautiful view.


Apparently we live in some sort of micro-community that is working in this area, and it would somehow be really beneficial if we could remove this rusty structure/vehicle from the lake - even if we were to move it half a kilometer or less.

We go over the details of the depth of the water and how feasible it would be to try to get in the water with mechs, without destroying them by going too deep into the water. Among other ideas we consider having divers go down to attach metal cables onto the structure, and then tie the other sides of the cables onto mechs on the land and then sort of drag it in a certain direction.


Dream 3

Allen is in the PA house, parents room. He has hundreds of black binder clips clipped to his clothing. All arranged so that the non-black tong parts are facing down, if that makes sense.

(They were facing the opposite direction as they are in this generated image)

I kind of went into the room to see this, he stares at me and I just stare at him and take it all in then laugh about it. He then laughed too and was in a genuinely good mood, which is so unlike him.

I walk away and run into Sue, who informs me that Allen updated some sort of contract making me legally obliged to do housework or something for them - it was called ‘the ring contract’, which she showed me on a clipboard - that had a heavy elaborate ring placed on the middle of the papers on it.

I feel strange and betrayed, and just let down.



Dream 4

I was in a garage playing some sort of wind instrument, possibly a didgeridoo. Someone puts some milkshake-like stuff in my hoody, and a friend's hat or something? But I didn’t notice until a minute or two after it happened. I was really upset about this and wandered out into a parking lot and crawled into the open hatch back of the car that I was certain the owner of this car was the one that milkshake-hooded me.

The entire two front seats and the floor were just filled with the same milkshake stuff, which I spat in to get back at them.

Everything about this dream felt so childish, definitely some sort of middle school pranking vibes. Also some feelings of betrayal which seems to have been the theme of this night!

I'm clicking through the pages on a shopping site, which lists 'sellers' - of what, I don't know. I see a picture of each seller's head and shoulders. The only one I remember, on the last page, is a Japanese woman in a high-necked shirt with a ruffled collar, with dark brown hair in a chignon on top of her head but also twisting over her right shoulder. She seems to be middle-aged with a warm smile.

On the second-last page, under the list of sellers, is a large image of a clock and a sign saying 'Radio Tokyo' on a bustling street in the evening. A caption below says 'Write to Radio Tokyo'. I click onto the last page. Three sellers pop up (including the one described above) but after a moment they disappear. This is a problem with the site that I was already aware of, so I refresh, but am not much impressed by the sellers. I scroll past. Below, under a picture of a red light flashing in the night sky, the caption says: 'Message Joe at the Observatory'.

Then I'm sitting at a sort of bar. This place is hard to describe. It's a narrow, polished wooden table, piled on one end with books and papers, facing into an empty ordering window in the wall of a bar. There are people in there and a man is sitting next to me in a rumpled brown suit. I realise I am on the street in the 'Radio Tokyo' picture. It's late at night and all the street lamps and shop lights are on, glowing golden. There is a radio on the table in front of me with several wires and jacks coming out of it, and a pair of headphones. The man sitting next to me has one earbud in and is listening. I realise that this radio is for free listening and pick up the other earbud, holding it to my ear. I think I hear something, although I don't remember what. On the radio's narrow screen is the date: 'Today is Friday, 28th January'.

Then I am at home, at the dinner table. We have some guests here. I join in the conversation with everyone and it feels like we have had this conversation before. I get up and walk around the table to pick up a large pillow and a small thin bag from under two of the chairs, and I remember it all happening in reverse. Some other time I put all of those things there.

Our discussion makes me think of that website I was looking at. I say that now there is a cost-of-living crisis, people can't afford to be choosy even when sellers are unreliable - they have to pick the cheapest option, even knowing they won't do a good job.

It's too short for a new post, so I will also include Day 29: Night of Sunday 21.01.2024

Fragment: Half-asleep, I see my mother standing over me, asking if I feel sick. She tells me not to take a sick day from school but to think of our family's pride. She says she knows I just want to skip school because I'm too lazy to work, and I'll have a bad reputation if I always blow such trivial matters out of proportion and expect sympathy. Talk about harsh!


Notes:
- First time I've used the internet in a dream? As well as other technology - laptop, headphones, radio.
- Entered the location of a photo!
- An incorrect date, if only I'd been more aware...
- Finally, I almost completely remembered a face.
- Don't take my dream advice if you are poor and looking to hire workers.
- I haven't been practicing any techniques since I got sick, so this is all I've got since the competition. I'm better now so will get back to work and hopefully recall will go up!

Wanting Flight:
I'm in a house structured like the standard Alliance floor-plan from World of Warcraft.
If you know the game, think the two-floor homes in Moonbrook, except well-maintained.
It is day-time. There is a super-hero dead facedown in the yard. He has feathers and I surmise that he had bird-powers.
I'm taking the body upstairs, and I'm trying not to be seen.
At some point while traveling up the stairs, the body transforms, leaving only the outfit.
I may have been trying to steal the hero's powers.

Manuevering:
I'm at my childhood home. My Dad is on the phone with the water company, working out bills.
He might have been trying to negotiate a better rate.
...
I'm upstairs with my niece, B, and she is smaller than she is in waking life.
We're in my brother and I's room, rifling through a set of drawers near the front of the room.
I'm worried that B will find age-inappropriate stuff in the drawer, and she does.
I quickly hide the stuff, and try to draw her attention elsewhere.
...
I'm up by the upstairs bathroom with my Uncle J. He is holding what looks like a document from waking life work.
He's trying to talk down to me, as if he knows it better than I do (he does not).
I try to let him down easy, not keen on allowing him to act this way, but also not wanting to hurt him.
...
My Grandma and my Mom are in the living room.
I'm on my way out of the house.
I've left, but forgotten something.
I go back and they give me a drinkable yogurt.

Observation:
I get the sense that there are aliens who have the ability to shape perception such that they do not alert humankind.
I false-awaken on the couch and my girlfriend is observing me strangely, and I suspect that she is actually one of these aliens.
This scares me greatly. I wake up for real (still on the couch) and she is looking at me the same way.

User Error:
I'm getting ready for work and my smartphone's alarm is going off.
I turn it off, but it doesn't stop making sound. I get very frustrated.
My girlfriend tells me it must be user error.
The phone is a Samsung Galaxy, which isn't the one I have in waking life.

Fragment:
Something about Spongebob Squarepants.

Dream 1

Jesse is in a prison cell and the view is close up on his face. He looks all old and wrinkly. He's looking at his face in a mirror and slowly moving his head around while looking under one of his eyes.

He says (to his cellmate?) 'oh look! If I face this way, and look here, there's a long wrinkle under my cheek that lines up with the pupil of my eye!'.


As this was going on I was thinking to myself that he doesn't look like that at all.

Then time jumps forward a bit and he's laying in his bunk, my view is his first person view. Sunlight pours in from a window on the left and half of his lower body is covered in it.


His cellmate mentions that this place gets 14 hours of sunlight a day. There is a breeze coming in through the window and it's very cold.

The view changes to outside of the prison, of a quad drone lifting off from the ground, Jesse is piloting it from inside the prison.

As the drone is flying I think 'it would suckif he crashed it, there would be no way for him to set it back up again. Maybe the guards would set it back up for him?'. I feel kind of worried for him over this situation.

The drone flies over a road and now the view is focusing on two cars that are driving on the road.

Danielle was in the forward car and behind her was someone tailgating very closely. He pulls over off the side of the road and gets out of the car and runs down into a park, it turns out a bunch of police cars were chasing him, they pull over as well and begin looking for the man.

The guy then murders someone (I'm not sure how, the view wasn't on him) and the police immediately find him and arrest him.

Now the man is in a police department being interrogated by Walter White who is a detective. Walter is very angry and at one point is shouting so close to the other man's face that their noses briefly touch. At one point Walter inspects the man’s shin to discover there are four monster energy drinks* tied to it. He then kicks each one so they all leak their contents.


The view jumps to Danielle in her car, who is worrying about feeling a ‘shock’ in her molars.

Dream 2

I’m in a basement-like setting that feels like the H-town house. The LB’s and their friends are there. Sue comes in with a plate of bacon offering it to each one of the people there and each person declines.

She looked sad that nobody wanted any so I took one. She was surprised I wanted one after turning it down, I made some excuse as to why I changed my mind.

The bacon was awful, it was undercooked and cold.

I didn’t really feel great about this location or the people I was around, I didn’t want to be here.

I'm on their porch outside now and there's a damp outline of a turtle on it. It's beautiful out, it's very warm and sunny. I see older Paul laying over a small kid-pool reaching in it and some other people standing around it.

There's the turtle from the damp porch outline in the pool, it's pretty large! I had the feeling they just got it recently and unfortunately it died. I felt sad for the poor turtle.

They were trying to figure out if the water was not the right temperature or what could have caused it to die. The pool was right beside some old shed and then some people inside the shed called out ‘there’s mold in the shed!’ - to which the group of people present let out a collective ‘Ahhh..’ declaring that was the cause of death, case closed.

Dream 3

I'm in the passenger seat of James's car and he’s speeding trying to make it through a traffic light before it turns red but he was a little late. We made it through but it was solid red for a second.

He’s still speeding after the traffic lights and we’re in a very busy city, I’m feeling anxious about this and tell him to slow down.

Behind us a sort of police-firetruck-hybrid appeared and was flashing its lights with its sirens on. James tried switching lanes to let it pass, I kind of laughed to myself over the idea that he didn't think they were trying to pull him over.

They switch lanes as well and stay close behind us. James pulls over. I'm worried that there might be drugs or something in the car and I spot a quarter of a pill which I hide beneath the middle of the car seat.

The cops are talking with us and one points out that our center console coin holder wasn't up to spec. I look and instead of a radio there's this large square metal device with lots of little compartments to hold all sorts of coins. Each compartment had a metal lid, though some were missing and others were bent and that's what the issue was.

I sort of absentmindedly said 'oh yeah, it's just they're so expensive to fix you know?' - idk why I answered as if it was my car. The cop agreed and said he'd get James's insurance to pay for it to be repaired.

At this point there was a drug sniffing dog on the scene, so I just grabbed the mystery pill and swallowed it.

One of the cops pointed out that we were next to a new 'Zit store'. I asked 'Zit store? ..like pimples?' and he said 'Yeah! Nobody believes me though'.

I am now zooming in on my location on Google maps on my phone and sure enough there's a small 'Zit store' wedged between two buildings nearby.

I mainly felt anxious and annoyed throughout this dream.


Dream 4 (fragment)

Some kid is in prison, he keeps getting into fights with the others there. He has to be moved to another location or something.

Dream 5

I'm driving at night in the middle of nowhere and being closely followed. I pull over into a grassy field and the other car does so as well. We get out of our cars and meet.

Two of the three people that got out of their car excitedly rushed up to me showing me a large bowl of gummy worms and other candy that they 'brought for me'. The third person was standing closely behind me, they were taller than me which felt weird . I had a really creepy feeling about this, I felt like my neck was about to be broken for some reason.

So I grabbed a huge ball of the gummy worms candy mix and shoved it in my mouth going 'mmmm!' with a thumbs up and a big gummy worm filled smile as I pivoted and backed up to see all three people clearly.

I then notice the pinkish clouds way in the distance have a distinct voxel look to them, like we're in Minecraft and they were 'built' with millions of cubes - it looked beautiful. I said 'Woah.. Did you guys make all of this?? (As in, the entire world we were in)' They all responded 'Yup!'


This dream had a sort of fun feeling, besides the person that was behind me for that moment.






* I bet this is from reading one of the shirecats dreams days ago that I commented on about the monster energy drinks.

I had so many dreams involving like, cops or prison or murderers last night - what the heck! After receiving advice from a friend, I tried to focus more on recalling more about how I felt in these dreams. Turns out I kind of neglect that so I think it will be helpful!

I was in some busy street, there was some asain restaurant. I entered, there were several people with sushi on their plates. I checked my wallet to be sure it was there, it wasn't, so I left the store. I walked down the street a bit and then forgot what I left the store for. I reentered and remembered that I left cause I forgot my wallet. I was really embarrassed so I grabbed a straw and a pack of chopsticks off the front desk and left.

[COLOR="#008000"]I got out of bed, I felt weightless, but I was really short for some reason. I walked outside and noticed that I returned to normal size. I started digging in one place to get under the house but I wasn't making much progress. I went to a part with a different dirt type and started digging. I accidentally broke off a piece of the wall. It had soggy plywood boards and fiberglass. I stopped cause it felt gross, I then remembered that I wanted to go down the street to see if it would be like the last time. I walked down my driveway. I looked to the east, the sky brain was gone. I looked forward and in the distance there were several tall buildings that resembled the Washington monument. I went down the street, I passed some houses, there was a metal gate in my way so I just walked through it. There were some cars, and I could see some buildings, to the south was a brown square building with red cloth draped on the exterior. To the north was a big hotel and a smaller hotel. I walked to the large hotel and entered. I slipped into the elevator and accidentally pushed all the buttons, so I pushed a button that deselected them. There was a man in there with me. He asked for a name, I was stunned because I had a sense that I was trespassing."E?" he asked, 'Ethan.' I then smacked my face because I definitely do not look like an Ethan. He that said the name of my favorite cousin, and the elevator moved up. I walked into the hallway, there was a room across from the elevator with the door open. I entered and I recognized some of my cousin's friends. She sat at a table, I greeted her with a hug and she said something and I said something about it being a dream, and she tells me "It's a world now because you've been here so long." we move to a couch, she closes her eyes and slows her breathing. I hear three pings like the ones from assassins creed, she gives a date "(i forgot)/24/24, I will die a horrible death from a firebomb." I copy her movements, I don't hear the pings, but I feel them in my mind, I have a hard time making it out but I think I see the words '11 MST burger' I then open my eyes. My parents have joined me and we start a conversation about something, I notice my 3ds is flashing red so I get up to grab a charger my mother screams something about me being addicted to games and grabs at me. Everyone is now pissed off so I sit in a chair, stare at the wall, and remind myself not to let a dream character make me too mad. I am staring into the wall when something catches my attention. An army or something is blowing up the stairs. I run past the stairwell, there's an explosion, I go into a room and hide under the stove. I notice that there's no wall behind it. I crawl under it, and I walk under all the shelves into a secret room. A man dressed as Luigi jumps into a pipe, I try to jump in after him, but I land wrong. I get up and some guy shows up, and a bunch of zelda dialogue bubbles pop up with too many words to read as the dream fades. [/COLOR]

I'll include Day 28 (Friday 19th) in this entry as well.

Night 13:

Fragment: I stand outside one of my school's buildings and look in through the window. It's a bow window, which differs from IRL. There's a new room next to the secretary's office, a long and narrow room, warmly lit. The floor was polished wood and inside is a TV on a stand against the near wall, facing a row of austere black school chairs. I saw one of my teachers standing in there. However, when I entered the building, I couldn't find a door into this room.

Fragment: I'm on my bed, feeling groggy. There are faceless men all around me, wrestling and fighting me. I roll around and writhe trying to kick them off. Nothing I can do seems to have an effect. I feel helpless and ill. The dream feels endless - it seems to last for hours. My head is spinning and I can barely see, my vision keeps fading and blacking out.

I woke up tossing and turning, trying to kick away my blanket, feeling horrible. Looks like I'm sick. This isn't the first time I've had this kind of dream when sick or sleeping badly. It feels like there are people all over my room, walking in and out, not letting me sleep.

Winter Competition Night 12

Most cliché dream I ever remember having. I read a lot of transmigration manga.

I've definitely had this dream before. A girl is transported into a fantasy world - I remember that she had bobbed black hair and wore a hoodie and jeans. After some back-and-forth (which I don't remember) among the society's elders, she is assigned to live with two guys who don't like her. They disapprove of the food she puts in the cupboard, her tastes, where she goes. But she has strong magic powers so they let her stay as per orders.

Another day they are watching a scene projected onto a big screen in a large, grand, wood-panelled hall (it looks a lot like an IRL place I know) when the boys cause images of a girl screaming while being electrocuted to play on the screen, intending to upset her. Enraged, her whole body crackles with electric light and she levitates out of her seat. She destroys the screen and everyone gasps out loud. She then faints and is caught by a female elder. After this incident she is given a room in the boys' house.


Fragment: Someone stole my phone! I'm floating in the blue sky at about roof-level when I see my phone fly out of my hand and rapidly away. I am shocked and about to give chase to get it back, but my dad says it's fine since I need a new phone anyway.

I hadn't actually had that dream before. But throughout the dream I felt a strong sense of déjà-vu. I was sure that this was a dream I had dreamt before. How didn't I become lucid despite thinking that...

Dream 1

I'm walking around a mall super sarcastically, like with my arms way out to the side like I'm muscular and jacked and taking huge exaggerated strides. I'm also wearing sunglasses but the arms that would rest on my ears are several inches higher, giving my sunglasses a huge tilt. I have shorts on that are unbuttoned and unzipped so I had to walk with my legs very far apart so that they don't fall off.


I strut into a clothing store and stand in front of a full body mirror by a cashier. I nod at myself in the mirror and just stand frozen in an awkward pose for far too long then look at the cashier and say "hell yeah!" Then I leave the store.

I'm now leaving the mall, walking and acting more normal now. I am expecting to see James and his friend Margot here somewhere.

I leave the mall and run into James and Margot on the way out but I make some excuse as to why I can't hang out and walk past them, mainly because of how i'm dressed.

I look for my car but then notice the whole parking lot is flooded with like 5ft of water, all the cars must've been shorter than that because there wasn't a single one to be seen. I wait and it all drains away eventually.

I spot my car which appears to be a 70s or 80s stingray Corvette. I try to start it but no luck, maybe the water fried it.

The parking lot is slanted a bit so I put the car in neutral and start coasting on the slight slant. After coasting for a bit I try to start it again but it still fails. I have to maneuver around some other guys with the same issue trying to start their stopped car, but I come to a stop.

The guys take a look at my car and point out that it's actually idling, one of the times I tried to start it was successful and I had not noticed. I test the gas and some water shoots out of the tailpipe.

Dream 2

I'm at the PA house, I think Inka is moving in. Tami and I check out the basement and we're keeping the lights on for some potted plants growing down there.

At one point I'm fixing my hair in a mirror and I make some crazy expressions jokingly and am a little freaked out that I don't look quite myself.

Dream 3

Jim Carrey is buying some $3mil sports car. He acknowledges that he has had 50m in his bank and that he could've bought one whenever he wanted to, but 'actually doing it is exciting!'

Uhh, not sure what the deadline is for this comp, but I’m uploading this anyway… I hope next time I’m not so busy

Night 10

Decent RCs.

Dream #1 (Non-Lucid):
Yuu had gotten Mika (both from OnS) into some trouble and now he’d been eaten by a giant ogre. His soul was being used to go on a killing spree. Yuu got himself eaten to save him and destroyed a bracelet to “hide” Mika’s energy.


Dream #2 (Non-Lucid):
Two guys were in a relationship but one was pretty toxic, he was upset that the other didn’t go to school with the green lipstick he’d bought him. He shoved him down on the couch and went on a ten-minute rant about how it was way cuter than normal lipstick…


Dream #3 (Non-Lucid):
I was in a school classroom in China, and a boy had taken a video of another boy sleeping on desks with two girls. He was trying to stir up trouble, so I took his phone and deleted it, forcing him to unlock his “recently deleted.”


Dream #4 (Lucid):
The girls from Life by Suenobu Keiko were in a mall buying something at a cash register. Ayumu ignored a guy hitting on her to jump on Hatori, squealing, “Hatori, I neeeed youuuu~!”

Hatori hugged her back with one arm. “You know, Ayumu, I like to have fun, but being a pal will always come first.”

In the distance was an ex-teacher who was now a professional race driver, trying to recruit her old students to the derby.

Scene change. (J) and I were in Japan in an Ethiopian store. I took some candies out of a jar that was displayed before we left.

“Hey, isn’t that stealing?” (J) asked.

“Uhh, I don’t think so. Why would they be out in the open like that if they weren’t for people to take?”

“Lots of stores do that. Doesn’t mean it’s free game.”

“Well, whatever.”

As we were walking, I noticed the snow was melting and started running home. Except I was only running with one leg, which made me think, It’s like a dream…

I told (J) I needed some help running and grabbed her hand. She quickly got ahead of me, but somehow I could feel her hand even when we were disconnected. For a second I wondered about the physics of that, but then I realized it was impossible. This must be a dream!

I told (J) and she easily believed me (this is not what I mean by my personal goal of making a DC lucid). She wondered if I would still feel her hand if one of us died, and since she’d never died in a dream before we decided she would be the one to kick the bucket.

I decided to kill her myself to hopefully reduce the amount of adrenaline. We both held the string of a balloon to connect our hands, and then I grabbed another, trying to make a beam of light explode out of it and hit her. But it just jerked weakly to the side and deflated with a tiny glow.

Next I tried to shoot energy out of my hands, but that didn’t work either. (J) made fun of me, saying, “This is why you should never try silly, informal experiments! Never! Never! Never! Never!…”

I woke up as she was chanting.


Dream #5 (Non-Lucid):
Someone on DV dared people to be their friend, so I sent them a request and they instantly accepted. Suddenly a timer appeared on the screen for me to become their “grandchild.” I was confused but accepted in a panic.

A new section on the website unlocked and spammed me with notifications. Apparently grandchildren had responsibilities, something to do with chatting with people. I woke up before I could find out more.


Dream #6 (Fragment, Non-Lucid):
I was drawing, experimenting with clothing creases and shading.


Night 11

Decent RCs.

Dream #1 (Non-Lucid):
I could make these video-game mushrooms fall from my hands using my summoning strategy. (So upset I didn’t get lucid…) I proceeded to “hallucinate” many things, one of which was a cute bunny eraser that I could hold firmly. I was shocked that no one else could see or feel it.

Later I went to (J) & (L)’s house and (A) was sleeping over. I was a bit upset but didn’t want to go in because I wasn’t wearing a mask.


Dream #2 (Non-Lucid):
My brain combined the games Alter Ego and Project Sekai. Anyone with over 27J EGO was invited to a ProSeka event where they were giving out $3,000 scholarships.

The parking was very weird, located in the very back of this pool place, and inside the seating arrangements seemed to be designed for a psych experiment. In the end I gave up trying to figure out the meaning and just sat next to (J). I complained about having lost my old account with 999.99Z, since it would've made me eligible for a much larger scholarship.


Dream #3 (Non-Lucid):
Fantasy world. This boy could choose his “mom,” and always chose dragons for some reason. His first mom was like an extremely toxic yandere, she had so many rules and ended up eating him so he wouldn’t leave her.

He was reborn and this time moved in with a friendly old dragon on an island, who only hated it when people got angry. The boy didn’t get angry often, but one day he wanted to be the only one to water the flowers, to be “MVP” or something. He yelled at the old dragon, who went silent and trudged into his house. Woke up before I could see any real consequences.


Dream #4 (Fragment, Non-Lucid):
One of my brothers was watching me from under my bedroom door. I was annoyed but not frightened.


Night 12

I woke up at 4:00 and went back to sleep, but I don’t remember any dreams before this one. Decent RCs.

Okay it pains me to do this, but the dreams from here on are sooo long and I don’t have time to type them out, so I’m just going to put the titles.

I was in some sort of store, climbing around on the shelves. There were some people racing life sized model cars around a track, so I jumped on to see if the cars'd stop. They didn't so I Jumped off and looked behind me where a bomb went off.

I was walking through the parking lot in the middle of the night, someones following me. I clutch the possum I'm carrying closer to my body. I get to the car and set it down in the back seat, my follower gets close to me and we start some conversation while the possum which I thought was dead convulses.

I was in my backyard also in the middle of the night. I used telekenisis to pick myself up, it worked for a few seconds, then I fell back to the ground. I picked myself up again, when I slipped out of my telekenitic butter fingers again I managed to catch myself and lift myself up, but I was at a wierd angle and everything was going black for some reason. [COLOR="#EE82EE"]I felt my body in my bed and wondered how the hell I didn't become lucid while I scribbled everything down.

I was on some floating platform with my father, a sheet of ice I think. There were some of those pretty aura things in the sky and he was pointing them out to me, but I fell off the ice. It had drifted away a bit so I started swimming for it. I noticed my boots were really loose on my feet, one of them fell off, but it floated up to the surface. I grabbed it and thought about how awesome it was.

I was in some sort of hotel like place, I went into a room which turned out to be a bathroom. I was assaulted by a piss smell so strong I almost fell over. I looked at the floor, it was plain cement almost completely covered with puddles, some fresh, most had dried into a crust. My father just walked in and used it like normal, I hesitantly walked into the room. My foot slipped forward and I fell on my back. The only thing worse than the liquid soaking my whole back was the crust I could feel with my hands, it was sticky and oily. I got up and started going to the sink to rinse out my clothes.

I was in a dark warehouse like building, there was a hole in the ceiling and a few feet of water on the floor. I was on a sort of mission, I had to go into a room. I felt a slight sense of danger so I went under the surface and hid behind a box. I watched around the corner, and when I decided it was safe I made my way to the hall. It had a warm relaxing lighting and a luxurious red carpet. There were a couple robots at the end guarding a plastic door like the ones in the back of a grocery store. I was trying to come up with some complicated plan to get past them, and I decided to just make a run for it. I ran down the hall, they didn't shoot, but there was another set of doors to my left so I dove in. I then saw a giant ball fall and start rolling towards me. Fortunately there was a cement pole thing like the ones in front of walmart, so I flattened myself behind it and the ball rolled past me. I went back into the hall and just walked into the main doors. I walked down a giant mansion room. I then realized I passed my target. I pulled up a map of the room. I was a pink arrow and there were a bunch of yellow dots behind me, one smaller than the others. I walked back to look for who it could be, I noticed a ring of light on the ground. I stepped on it, and trees sprouted out of the floor which I thought I was measuring for some reason, I then saw pillars of light flash over them once.

I was in a suburb with red rocky mountains in the distance. There was a small boy with me and he started playing with a wolf, so some guy with a clipboard started scribbling things down and muttering to himself. I looked at one of the mountains which had a bunch of houses carved into it and tried to remember when I had seen it before. I came to the conclusion that it was one of the mountains on the road to flagstaff. There was a helicopter noise, I looked behind me and there was a white and red helicopter, but it looked wrong, It was more rectangular than it should have been, and a lot of the parts looked like inflatable pool toys. I was right, as it touched the ground, the helicopter parts deflated and disappeared, leaving some camo print rv. I went to investigate, the back was open and there was some middle aged guy with a bunch of kids lined up in the vehicle. He cheerfully greeted me,"I got ten drunk kids in here!" I decided that the best response was 'Make that eleven!' and I walked into the back and he handed me what appeared to be a white gatorade. I forgot about my drink and punched the ceiling in excitement, leaving a small dent. He told me I'd get something special if I did some real damage, so I punched harder and left a hole. I was then standing in the center, and water pushed me up like some sort of park ride. I failed to punch the ceiling a third time, and was then slowly let to the ground. I then stood in a group at the back and watched another kid get shoved into the air. I walked outside where they had two picnic tables. There was a bunch of food on them, I saw a box of french fries, so I grabbed one and the bottom was covered in black grease. After I ate the worst fry of my life, I walked to the other side of the table and started eating off a plate that had refried beans and some green stuff I assumed was spinich. My grandfather sat next to me and we started a conversation on some service or something to do with housing and why it wasn't communism.
