Non-Lucid Dreams
I actually meant to publish this yesterday but couldn't finish I hate school. Night 9 Dream #1 (Non-Lucid): An anime boy and I were steering clear of a grizzly bear. At some point my dad rolled down a hill with a cat and they landed directly in its warm embrace. Eventually the anime boy turned into Z, and he fell and got a scratch on his foot. Nile sniffed it and I pushed him aside, intending to put blood in the wound (literally), but Z put on his shoes before I could. Then he said something unclear, and I told him, "You should communicate better." He started getting emotional about some (false) time I didn't tell him about a cliff edge. My mom sided with him but I laughed in their faces. She was so distressed about my bad attitude she got up, backed me into a corner, and slapped the "camera" while screaming. It woke me up. Unknown time WBTB. Dream #2 (Non-Lucid): Plot1: I was reading a book in the hallway between my room and my dad's when some random guy came up the stairs. He must have opened a door because I asked him to close it, but he left without saying a word. My dad came out of his room and closed it, then brought it to my attention that S was spamming me. Something about a dolphin show and slippers. The book I was reading looked like a CD App [I remember the book but idk what I meant]. I had read it before and knew the whole story. The main character was on a quest to obtain some sentimental candy... and at some point a creepy old guy got involved. Plot2: A bunch of anthropomorphic animals were illegally climbing a building. They got caught and scattered, a young koala hiding inside a sewer drain. He felt depressed about the whole thing, and when his brother found him and sighed, he fled deeper into the sewer in shame. At the bottom was a splatter of blood, and in the corner of his eye he saw a creepy girl standing above him. Quickly he ran back up and told his brother. A floating, pale face came around the corner and they ran out of the sewer, grabbing a bottle of face lotion and a slipper on their way out. The brother suggested they speak gently to it, and while they did so they shoved its severed foot in the slipper and poured all the lotion on it. By then the face had disappeared. Dream #3 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): I fixed a graphic design. Night 10 Dream #1 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): Dream about music… I was good? Played a "combo…" When I woke up at 4:07 my mom was in the room and Z was leaving for his club. WBTB. Dream #2 (Non-Lucid): I was swimming in a pool by myself, repeatedly sinking to the bottom and considering drowning myself. The water looked only slightly off, and everything was vivid. At some point Z came in and we messed around, but he took it too far so I left. He followed me out and I said, "You might not remember this, but I came here to be alone, _not_ with you." There may have been a background track screaming "OHHHH" but I'm not sure. We went into the bathroom and his thermos spilled all over the floor. My body looked disturbingly different, but I didn't know how to react so I said nothing. 6:05 WBTB. Night 11 Dream #1 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): J&L and I were playing guitar. There was something about a "small Am chord" in "real life" vs "earlier"? 4:00 WBTB. Dream #2 (Fragments, Non-Lucid): Frag1: Person played guitar. Was considered an amateur "because of graduation," but was actually good. Played "G2" chord. Frag2: Took up a huge portion of the dream. J and her mom and I were going out somewhere. Night 12 Dream #1 (Non-Lucid): Interesting setting, a museum of some sort. Felt underrepresented by (illegible) and then not. J and I passed the food court, and I really wanted milkshakes but we were already in the checkout line. Somehow I ended up in my school, and the person in front of me was wearing a hoodie with pictures of famous rappers carrying bunnies. Some snuggled up to them, some placed them on their heads, some held them by the scruffs of their necks with a disgusted expression. It depended on their personality. Later A.M. was questioning me, calling me "funky" while I skipped. I stopped and said, "That's galloping! Are you a horse, A.M.?" as a joke and she and K and I laughed. Then S and I ended up in the "woods rainbow" somehow. 4:20 WBTB. Dream #2 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): People dancing. Someone said, "There's no way that silly little figure is Willy Wonka!" Night 13 Dream #1 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): Guy pretending to (illegible) with Ms. B. I "acorded" her in the valleys. Dream #2 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): Flashes. "Sis Dore." Middle school. Mr. N. Something about bears as a nickname. Dream #3 (Lucid): Boy reassured people that "they were not split," in response to a girl's question. Later watching some weird BL anime about guys training to be actors/mages. At the end Ash Ketchum flew in on a broom, and Ginga from Beyblade was involved somehow. Random false awakening. I started writing down the earlier part of the dream, when I heard my mom say my name. I assumed it was a hypnopompic hallucination, but for some reason I felt unsettled. I sat up, the motion feeling unusually floaty and robotic, and looked out at the rest of my room. It seemed off somehow, and there were two dark orbs hovering in the air, small enough to mistake for a trick of the eye. I thought, Wait a minute, could this be a dream?, did a nose-plug RC to make sure, and it worked effortlessly! Maybe it was a self-fulfilling prophecy, but I sensed that I didn't have much time. I flew down from my bed, in this weird, conveyor-belt style of flying. It was hard to maneuver myself in the window's direction, and I nearly flew through the wall out of impatience, but eventually I managed to orient myself and phase through the window. What's next? What's next? Controlling a DC? I looked around for one, but couldn't see very well. Then I woke up. It felt short and uneventful, but at least I gained a decent amount of points for the competition Night 14 Dream #1 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): There was a club for silent people, and another for another type of people, which were the main focus, but I can't remember what it was. Dream #2 (Fragments, Non-Lucid): Frag1: "Clueless girls" were watching a romance show. In response to one line they squealed, "Oh, that was so good!" Another girl agreed but was a bit disappointed, since she was rooting for the GL couple. Frag2: In a bookstore like Barnes & Noble, looking for the Owari no Seraph light novels.

I'm at a river with another person. They are explaining how they are making a makeshift dam. A center block of concrete has already been poured and water running around it has washed out any loose rock so it is now just a solid part of a much larger rock. He triggers the buildup of water by moving a log over the remaining stream and the dam is put into action. I take a small boat over to one side of the water, but he releases the stream at the dam, so I'm pulled with the current back towards it. I narrowly escape capsizing and falling into the water with the help of the builder who pulls me out. Later, I'm with a group of guys who don't have a place to stay for the night up in the mountains. A couple offers beds to us in the loft of their house. I am very grateful to them but everyone else just walks in and finds their bed.
Dream 1: Like a normal dream in September, I was on Vecterra (Starfield Moon). There was a story being passed around about how I helped a kid go from nothing to a badass soldier god with a minigun and stuff. It was all well, before I saw Koschei as a background character. She's from the PR and I know this so I get lucid immediately. I tell her "Koschei, I've missed you so much. You have no clue how much I've missed you.." before she says "I have no clue who you are". I think that it might be cause we're not really in a PR world yet, and this is Koschei just playing out another role. I tell her "You are Koschei the Immortal. An Explorer of the Voidway, you fight off Satan's Cult with me and Nairu. Ring any bells??" before she claims that she's "retired". I grab her by the shoulders, look her in the eyes and say "You are Koschei, from the Voidway PR." as a sort-of mantra. Then the light in her eyes change and she remembers. "Welcome back Frank." she says. I say "Thank you so much... I've got a plan! Nairu's still in Earth A, right?". "Definitely. Back at my place". So I close my eyes and open them back in Koschei's lodge. Nairu is there, I can hear her but she's invisible for some reason. I give her a hug and tell her I missed her as well, and that I found where the panacea is to cure her cancer. It gets a bit weak so I try grounding, but wake up anyways. Dream 2: I was recommending a number of old games to everyone and it generally lead to a complete revival of them. For example I raised awareness on DASE 2 for its modding capabilities and it got on an SCP Illustrated video. I actually managed to get my dad into undertale just because of mettaton. Even though he tried the game and hated it before. It was surreal. I discovered something groundbreaking that I can’t recall before waking up.
I'm with a friend and some others on the mountain skiing. I don't know why I'm skiing rather than snowboarding but I'm keeping up with everyone just fine anyways. We try getting some air off a side hit and it works pretty well. After navigating through a difficult part of the slope, we take a break. Someone asks me about my skis and I tell them how I haven't skied in over a decade now but it's just like riding a bike coming back to it. I remark to my friend how I should go put some sunscreen on as I can fell my face starting to burn.
I'm playing a role in a story I'm telling myself. The narrative involves the invention of gunpowder by a god, which is me. Some door must be opened and there are piles of explosive material right outside it. I toss some more closer to the door and then prepare a fuse. I spend a while experimenting with what seems to be the best combination of ingredients to spark correctly. I make little piles for each one on a tray then press down on it with a rod that has a hollow cone shape on the end. When pressed down all the way, the powder ignites. I find the best candidate and light the fuse, which is a trail of the gunpowder, using the same rod. The door explodes and I walk away towards the edge of a lake. I begin to fly, rising above the clouds thinking that this must be where the gods live. I see nothing but clouds though and end up getting a stomach lurching feeling looking back down at the ground. I fall fast and splash into the lake.
Funny, thought after I ordered high end noise cancelling earplugs I wouldn't be irritated in my late sleep anymore. 1 dream: I was basically just going through the starfield campaign again. Joined UC Vanguard but didn't like it. Remember killing some people before waking up.
Based on this and the last WBTB attempt, it seems like 6hr/10m might not be the optimal WBTB configuration for me. I think I'll stick to it for experiment #4 to finish out the original plan though. Went to bed at 11:30PM. Pre-WBTB Fragment I'm at the Darkmoon Faire from World of Warcraft. I'm playing as a Night Elf. I'm bragging to the other players around me about something. Recorded at 5:30AM. Near the end of sleep cycle 3. Scorpion Trap I'm at some sort of manor, and I'm together with my ex-girlfriend H. I find it strange that we are together again, but not enough to make me question it further. We are standing in the front yard and it resembles the side-entrance from highschool (P) but with concrete steps going up. There is a man up a story telling us about a device. The device is a way to capture or deal with scorpions. I remember looking back at H and thinking she looked kinda hot with her short blue dress on. Recorded at 5:30AM. Near the end of sleep cycle 3. WBTB Woke up 6 hours after going to bed as planned. Felt very well rested. Almost decided to just stay awake. But I want those points. So I took the Galantamine 8mg to stay consistent with my experiment parameters and reviewed my go-forward for the lucid. After 10 minutes I went back to bed. Post-WBTB False Awakening I wake up in my bed and do a nose-plug RC out of habit. I'm lucid now. I try to move my hands forward to do a hands RC, but they feel very heavy. I struggle against this weight, but I can't overcome it. Recorded at 7AM. Early in sleep cycle 5.

I was really hoping to have "one of those" lucids this comp, kind of thing that would get me like 50-100 points, but I guess not this time. Dream 1: I was back at my old school, doing normal stuff when I was having an argument with a classmate over scrambled eggs or something like that. We started fighting about it and then I made fun of everyone before walking out. Dream 2: Todd Howard invented the same machine Michael Raduga did which was able to record dreams. Except this one was able to convert dreams to digital media and the other way around. Kinda like the Brain to Data Machine from ATNRPG. Anyways I was messing with it and it was fun. Actually talked to Raduga in this VRChat like world, but I never got lucid unfortunately.
I'm with a coworker who is describing to a manager how he set up a mock plane in the air in a warehouse to mimic shooting down into targets below. It had all sorts of cables attached to pull it off. Later, I'm doing some assistant work at an airport where I'm waiting for a lady to write down the names of all the passengers. She calls out my name when she's done and I glance over the paper. I find it strange that there are so few names listed, only 20 or so, and that they are written in different colors. Later, I'm with a bunch of people at a little house having a party. It's after everyone's been drinking quite a bit and people start puking. I find my way outside and do the same in some bushes off to the side.
Night 11 …/I turn and cross a door when somebody at my back says: “Here we ‘flay’ because of we f*ck and play”/… I woke up remembering that Night 12 …/I’m in front of the model of a modern large house in the mountains. I’m carefully placing some round transparent reddish covering plastics on the courtyards to protect the next places I’m planning to go. I’m wearing skin colored stockings/…
Went to bed around 11:30PM. Thirst at the Store I'm in a grocery store that looks like Fry's. Something in the store is chasing me, and I am getting ranked based on how well I can evade it. There is something standing on top of one of the pop-box displays. I'm thirsty and start looking for something cold. My girlfriend tells me that there are drinks in the cart, but I want something cold. ... Later I'm in a car outside with my girlfriend. I'm in what looks like the bank's withdrawal/deposit section, mixed with the pickup/dropoff area at the airport. It's dark and lit up by a few artificial lights. I'm paying for a black Buick car by putting money into the tube. The car reminds me of the one my Grandma P drives. Recorded at 5AM. Near the end of sleep cycle 3. Getting to the Bottom I'm at my Grandma P's condo with my sister and my friend D. We're in sitting room by the den playing Super Smash Bros on the Temple stage. There normally isn't a TV in this room. I take D out of the game, and then chase my sister into "the pit" near the bottom of the stage (if you know, you know). I hit her with consecutive Down-A sword attacks as Link and she loses. Then we switch to a different game that my sister choses. The style is cyber-punky, vaguely reminding me of Mortal Kombat. The screen is split vertically into 4, but players can move between the splits to sabotage the others. This game's goal is to get to the bottom the fastest. Recorded at 7AM. Early in sleep cycle 5.

I'm on top of a skyscraper on some kind of contraption set up by some people in the military. It feels scary since I'm so close to the edge so I'm grateful when it's over and I move back away from it. Someone from our group wants to go again through so we wait while the guys set it up again. The guy walks in a very military fashion with straight strides all the way up to the edge, then turns abruptly to follow the edge over to the contraption. Later, I'm at a golf course at the turn. My dad shows up as well and orders one of the strawberry adult beverages they have.
This one was cool kinda New walking dead season came out, but it was god awful. Michonne becomes really bad for some reason and I am in the movie so we shoot at eachother. I kill her, and then we find out that the whole apocalypse is a simulation run by Dale, with thousands of scenarios. Apparently finding him destroyed the whole universe so we time traveled and found him again but brought everyone with to just enjoy normal life. Then I wrote some notepad thing about how terrible the walking dead series was lol
Went to bed around 11:30PM. Romantic Confusion I'm at a park. It is reminiscent of the one where we celebrated my sister's birthday many years ago. I'm with my girlfriend's dad. He is cooking some beef roast on the grill. The meat is a sphere cut into sections and it stands up on its own. Like a mandarin orange. I get the impression that he wants to know about whether I am going to propose to my girlfriend or not. I feel guilty for being unable to answer him yet. There is a medical facility on the edge of the park. It's white, clean, sterile. Like a lab. I'm inside a bar-like section now and I'm with my Uncle J, taking his and a few others' pizza order. There are 3 or 4 styles of pizzas ordered overall and I am struggling to remember it all. To put the order in, I had to travel through the facility, which had indoor and outdoor sections. On the way there I chat with someone about how the layout of this place is stupid, particularly the unfinished outdoor sections. I make it to another bar section, having entirely forgotten about the order, and I have a beer in my hand. My friend H is there. She expresses romantic interest in me but as she is saying it, a drunk person stumbles between us creating a lot of noise. The sound covers her speech, but I still hear it. She pretends the noise prevented me from hearing it. I'm relieved, because I'm not sure how to react. Later a young Asian man, who clearly leads his group of friends, comes over to me. "Dude, did you see how cute she was? You have to say something!" "I have a girlfriend man," I say. He makes an overly animated expression with his hands while making an agitated noise, which I take to mean "You should weigh your options." Later I encounter H in the bathroom, which doesn't make a ton of sense. For some reason, we know we are supposed to mark locations on the urinal with a marker. Recorded around 5:00AM. Near the end of sleep cycle 3.
07.09 - Night 7 …/I get into a new section of the sorter, it’s main purpose is to heal books. Here fall all books that got damaged along the process of distribution. The books this time are modern paperback versions. There’s a book with pink cover on top of one of the piles on the plates. I don’t see it’s going to work, I have my doubts about the process. It’s not my task today anyway, I’m too wide away from my working place where I’m sorting stuff for titles for its placement or something like that. We’re moving to another section of the sorter, we have to board a train. There are people from the design area. The big J is there/… WBTB I succeeded to incubate the dream back again but failed to recognize when it started …/it’s the same new section, there’re other paperback books piled there. I’m leaving the section now and I can see now the creeper of my living room hanging in a precarious way next to the sorter. I’m afraid it’s going to fall, I try to fix it into a better position while the sorter keeps moving. I’m trying to figure out what’s the logic of this new station. Each book has some values, like RPG cards. And they must be placed on their corresponding plate according to those numbers for the machine to take them to their new location or something like that . There’s a guy wearing glasses working on the first plate. He shouldn’t be there handling books because of his task has nothing to do with books. He’s taking the books away from where they should be taken by the machinery. I think to myself: “Now I see why it’s not working”/… 08.09 - Night 8 This time the dream was too abstract to recall a full sequence, I’m moving into thoughts and the scenery changes too fast to recall more …/I see some coworkers, old J is there. They twist and fall into big woks like they’re sort of omelettes. Other stuff turns around and moves on/… 09.09 - Night 9 …/I’m on a train arriving at a train station. I see some cops with dogs doing their job/… …/I see my daughter is watching films In a strange language. I cannot understand what the actors are saying. Look like a live show comedy/… 10.10 - Night 10 No recall, got too few hours of sleep, then must go back to work
