non-lucid

I was in a cabin of sorts. I was with friends. I baked/cooked a cake for another friend whose birthday won't be on till after a few months. I thought of putting it in the fridge. For some reason, they had some reasons not to put it in some fridge located somewhere. One was in that cabin but for some reason, we had to move. Something about disturbing the spirits. We also thought of putting in the house fridge but won't the person find it easily?

We "went out" of the place using a special key and a special door. We traveled through the spirit realm (why?). And we walked and avoided and escaped the malevolent spirits of the realm. There were two particular spirits we avoided: one was a male shadowy figure that follows us and one white ragged woman who screams and chases us. I remember hiding behind some crates and avoiding her. There were also some "puppy spirits." At least they looked like puppies. They were used by a teacher and some children to practice escaping from. There "attack" in swarms. I was going through a door when a swarm rained in. I led them out the door with difficulty but without any negative emotions whatsoever.

Somehow, I was caught and I felt my physical body turn to the left. I was told in the dream it's wrong and somehow spirits can enter that way.

This part happened somewhere in between. There's no linearity in the dream (like in some dreams). I was with a family flying through space. We went through zero space, and we've "heard" about some delays in such a travel but thought they were rare occurrences and don't have any serious repercussions. There was a boy (third-person) in this family who seems to have such a delay and asked where the others were and what took them so long. For the rest, it was an almost instant flight. I was that boy (first person).

We were being chased by other space fighters (I don't know the name of the small space ships used to harass bigger ships without causing a lot of damage due to the energy shielding). I had a hard time with the controls. I turn too fast so instead of arcing back, I end up facing the enemy almost face-to-face with our ship. The rest were away. I was eventually able to control it enough so I see... stars and space and space stuff instead of a poorly modeled image of the fighter or the nearby planets and moons. I felt elated.

My ship was destroyed. I was possessed.

I was in a familiar place. I think it's the place in the "first" part of the story. I was kept in a room, and I felt different. I felt like I was glowing and there's a tingle throughout my "skin." I overheard that a woman (a friend?) was partially possessed. I went out/through the walls and doors and approached her in a room. I "absorbed" whatever was possessing her and I left. I felt stronger.

I think this is a separate story but somehow still connected to the possession dream. I was at home. It was evening and very dark. We went home and closed the gate, but somehow, someone forgot to close one of the two gates. There's like another perimeter around the house, and there are two boys/guys just outside the inner perimeter, which means the outer one was open. A child was talking but I could barely understand. Mom was saying something too complaining about the other gate not being locked.

I was outside the house. It was morning, or at least daytime. Someone was teaching me how to fly properly. I was able to "jump" on the first level with his help and then jumped the next two after. I looked up and saw the clouds. I was elated. I wanted to fly about the clouds and stay there. I was partially lucid and happy to be able to experience that.

Everything was falling apart. Buildings were crumbling down. Alien attack? It was like a game in 3D. I used my possession skills to hold back falling buildings and debris. I felt powerful.

I woke up feeling powerful and in control.

---

Notes:

- I went to sleep feeling down. After a few days of anxiety due to an overwhelming addition to my required subjects to take to finish school, I had my previous dream that really brought me down. I could barely do anything so I went to sleep. That was around 7:30 pm. I woke up around 10:00 pm. I thought the dream was so long I could swear I woke up around 3 or 4 am.
- I felt powerless these several months, from failing to finish some courses I need to proceed with my long-term plan to being unable to complete Inktober or start NaNoWrimo (again). I think I was trying to regain control by putting an enforced structure (school).
- There were a lot of mental chats that had no image. I was talking to myself about the meaning of the dream within the dream. A short while after(?) waking up but still lying down, I thought about how I reclaimed a part of myself (through possession and self-destruction) and it made me (feel?) stronger.

Questions: How do I know this feeling of control is not as illusory as the feeling of lack of control? Both have real-life repercussions if wrong, and even if right, how do I distinguish what's within and without my control? How do I know I'm making the right decisions if my senses and mind betray me?

For now, back to basics: simplify.

I made a pact with a demon, who gave me a rather good deal. He will shower money and fortune to my boyfriend, and I just have to become more fragile (he mentioned my HP decreasing) while my ATK go up. This happens by me having to go through his deadly gauntlets daily, except that he also told me he'll revive me if I die or get maimed in the gauntlet.

I followed a girl with a big butt I thought about approaching her to talk. I approached her and told her that she was beautiful she actually really liked me and I didn't expect that. I thought to myself you never know unless you try.

I was staying w/ Katie briefly & we plan to go to see houses. We are looking around & see lots of bedrooms in the house we are looking at & it's clean. But it's close to other houses which I don't particularly want for my next house. Yet my kids & Mike are there & we are really liking it all & the price. Suddenly Katie grabs my hand & drags me off into a bathroom & shoves some clothes at me. She says we are going to go see Anthony in jail even though in real life he is in prison. (She was just talking about seeing him & how they made her change her shirt while she was there when it was totally appropriate). She had pulled some strings to get us into see him. Things kept going wrong so we were obviously never going to get there.

Nap 1430 - 1600

Driving to Costco
I'm driving to Costco. As I'm approaching my turn I realize that I'm in the go-straight lane instead of the left-turn lane. I get ready to change lanes and look to my left and see that the turn lane is completely packed and there's no room for me. I'm not sure what to do - try to force my way over, keep going and make a U-turn, or what. In the end, I decide to stop in the middle of the intersection and wait for an opportunity to turn. Now I look up and see that the light is red. After checking to make sure it's safe, I complete my turn. I'm surprised to see that another car turns behind me, and I hope that it's not police. I look more closely in my rearview mirror and can see that it's just an old jeep-style car. As I return my attention in front of myself, I see there's a police car on the other side of the road. I hope he doesn't pull a U-turn behind me, and I start to prepare what I'm going to say if he comes after me. Thankfully, he doesn't.


Belt joke
I'm looking at a group of guys who I know are old-timey military officers. They're waiting around for some British officers to arrive. The man in charge says that, originally, they were just going to "meet" over the phone, but someone decided that they should really meet face-to-face. He's mirthful, describing his plan to his friends: he's going to give the ranking British officer a "gift" of a "special" belt. He starts talking in what I assume are inuendos I don't know, saying things like how it takes two people to play a tuba.


Sticky leak
I'm standing in my breakfast nook. I notice an odd puddle - it looks sticky - on the floor and look around for its source. I expect to see a knocked-over cup nearby, but I can't see anything. I look up and don't see anything. I look more closely and see a hairline crack with a drop coming out of it again. I look again and see a gaping hole in the ceiling and a cracked pipe which is leaking the stuff. I call to my wife, who's in the pantry behind me, to come and look; then I rush downstairs to find the house's master water cutoff. I know I've used it before, but I can't remember where it is. I hope I'll be able to find it quickly.

Now I'm downstairs. There's something about tiles, and things go poorly.

Now I'm in the parking lot of a home improvement store, loading up the white van with the stuff I need to fix the house. I'm trying to load stuff onto the roof, but it's huge, and I'm having trouble. Someone comes over and helps me. As we get the supplies onto the roof, we knock down my daughter's brown stuffed animal. I'm amused and confused - how could that possibly have gotten up there? As far as I know, the kids never left the car.

>In a place with some being in a cloud or something (this sounds vaguely remembered at the moment) and then I think I was being spoken to. Later, this surrounding area turned into a bookstore and there was a 1800s looking burly but respectable guy nearby with his wife, I think (though I only looked at him primarily) and I had a hammer. He asked me what I had and I said something like "Something I'll use in self defense if you..." (do so and so, I think this was talking about him entering my location whilst trespassing) and he kept his distance. Later he said I was welcome at his house.

> Bilbo Baggins (a la from the movie version of The Hobbit) went back in time and was a bit confused as he was in a strange location seeing this from another person's body. The location was a building that may have been a boarding house (why am I saying "a boarding house"?) and then he walked to a hallway and a computer on a screen started talking to him and asked the password (so he could enter) being that he looked like the owner of the place. He then freaked out saying he didn't remember and the computer recognized this and told him the password (which not only counted the words but the tone of voice and movement of the body) and then examined him. At one point the computer said "You're obsessed with Obi" - and Obi is an elephant OC (a self insert I think) of someone I know. Obsessed? I didn't think so but I will admit I love looking at his drawings.

> Somehow Lloyd and Harry from Dumb and Dumber were in charge of a restaurant and they were making a mess out of everything, throwing wrappers behind the counter in a huge pile and putting food in wrong, etc...

D1 - headteacher is round my house and is using my account to buy things on ebay Oo I wonder where they will be delivered.

D2 - On holiday in spain I am running a creche for kids and there are loads. Alfie runs away and I am looking everywhere for him but while im out others escape LMAO. Sean comes to help me.

D3 - In a store I am wearing a green jumper and a purple one over the top, this fashion faux par means the assistant zooms in on me, thinking she can sell me loads of crappy stuff. Of course i am not interested and try to escape her clutches.

D4 - My daughter is in the house and I am trying to turn off the water. This is a phobia of mine that has returned in my dreams.

WBTB (success) due to my partner thinking it was a work day and getting up panicking

D5 - I am standing at the road side and immediately realise im dreaming. I make a car appear, it is an old ford original and black. It feels way to large inside without any seats, so I shrink it down.
It drives itself for a while then I get out and decide to jog. It feels great just to be free in the dream and I jog along a stretch of pedestrianised space on the sea front. Its quite busy with other joggers.
I see one woman jogging from the back, she has long dark hair, tied up and a red top with lycra jogging bottoms, little stripy socks and trainers. I like the look of her and decide to try something.
Previously I have used mind control but the people would just become mindless zombies and it was no fun at all. So this time I tried something different. I produced a note telling her that I was her boyfriend and put it into her hand. She read it and understood. We jogged along to her apartment. When she got out the keys she explained that she did not live alone but with her mother. When went up the stairs and when entering the spacious twenties style apartment. I saw her mother with grey hair and glasses and I was a bit apprehensive so I made her grow younger, to about the age of the other woman making them more like sisters. After that I got a bit distracted by sex and then thinking what I was going to do, as a result I woke up.

[comment]
I have realised the phobia I have is not specifically to do with fear of death but of fear of becoming overcome by my emotions. Hence the water.
When I was a child my parents ignored me when I had nightmares or was upset. I just used to get told off or ignored, so I learnt to hide my feelings.

I recall a dream fragment where I was looking at a GIF on Imgur where there were a number of horses in the picture standing over wet, leaf-covered ground. A horse suddenly plunges into the ground. The other horses wandered around cluelessly before some started digging on another spot in the ground and uncovered a pool which the previous horse comes out of, revealing that the horses were standing on an island of dead leaves.

3:44 - About 4 hours of sleep.

I dreamt with a very vivid storm happening in house of María Olguín, the house i currently slept in. My older sister was there, i had some arguments about her smoking in the house and then she put music, which i tend not to like (it was night, so i disagreed even more). I was in the bedroom, and i saw that rain was coming down from the window and soon it would fill the entire room and beds would float, although there was a drain in the middle of the room. In order to prevent that i went outside to clear the gutters from leaves. I go outside to climb the stairs to the terrace, and i find myself stuck in the middle of the stairs because i saw winds coming from the east. Also i saw a tornado like a block away, north, and about 15 meters to my left, so i thought it might destroy our house or it might just pass by, any of those choices could happen. Since it was a huge storm coming from the east, and a lot of wind i thought to go back inside, there was no way i could clear the gutters. I wanted to go back, but the wind was so strong that i couldn't walk too much, or else i would fly away. I saw paper flying away, and hitting me. I knew i was about going to die. I actually thought about it when my sister went outside to smoke because of my complaints, she said that a huge storm was coming. A huge storm only meant a "cosmical storm" (dream sign, like a storm where the universe ends, something like a big crunch). So i knew i was just a couple of minutes of dying. I wasn't agitated, but ... i was aware that not only i would loose my house, the whole city would be destroyed, but my sister would die, and i would loose my body and of course all the memories and "knowledge" gathered in this lifetime. I thought at that moment of remaining conscious, alert, mindful. I heard a classmate from highschool, apparently he lived next door in the building, that he already started flying. The tornado approached and was going to hit the house, not passing by. It was big, bigger than i thought it was. Even if it was small, if i went in there i wouldn't come out alive (unless i realized it was a dream and could fly away). The papers flied towards the earthy tornado and the winds and rains from the east merged with it. Finally the water from the east arrived home, and destroyed everything, including me. It was like a tsunami, although it came out of the rain. I remained in the same position, wasn't carried away by the water, but the house was immersed by the water. I had the eyes closed so i didn't know if i was dead or alive. But i could sense that apart from water the whole house was debris and it mixed with the water, which gave it a brown tone. I thought "is this dying?", and i didn't know if i was dead yet. But even still, if i wasn't dead i would be because i would drown. So i took a breath in on purpose, because i thought it would be better to do it and remain mindful of the process, instead of running out of oxygen and then desperating because i can't breathe. I didn't breathe in water... so i don't know... but i thought that it was already over, and also that i could go anywhere with my mind. Having no interest to explore i woke up.

I checked the time, saw my cat sleeping on the couch next to me, that tranquilized me a bit. Then i wrote the dream on my cellphone. Then i got up, went to bathroom, looked for water, and got back to bed thinking perhaps about wilding.

At 7:20 i woke up again having had a lucid dream.

I was in my bedroom. I don't remember very well how it happened, but i questioned if it could be a lucid dream. I took some time to do a reality check, like i would take while waking, and i looked at my hand while pressing the left middle finger through the palm of the right hand. I saw my hand with something like a white glow, but actually imperceptible. Then i saw the finger pushing through and making a black hole in the palm of the hand. I said to myself, oh wow, yes it is a dream! I just did the reality check just as routine, convinced that the dream was reality, and when i found out it was a dream still i was lucid but still the dream didn't feel like it was a dream (but i wouldn't be fooled). Anyways i did the reality check before the dream collapsed, and after i got lucid the dream collapsed and i woke up. But even when i woke up i thought that it could not be so, because it could be a false awakening. So i checked my surroundings. I had woken up where i was lying, and everything was the same, the lights were a bit brigth enough to see but dark to know it's still night. Damn i thought, i truly awake. I think the sign that made me think i was awake was that i felt the body heavy. But... it actually was a false awakening, and i didn't do a reality check, even though i could have. Then when i really awoke i found out.

Then at 9:30 i dreamt had another dream, which wasn't short.

I dreamt about being in a kiosk. It was night, and i was dressed as hippie, like coming out of my apartment with whatever clothes just to but something and go back. I wanted to buy a chocolate, but the young lady said she didn't have. Then i asked for an alfajor, "Grandote, triple". I think she didn't have that either. There were other 2 people buying but i didn't pay attention to them. They were going to clubs probably. Then the lady told me that i should stay there, that i violated some things because of the chocolate (i wasn't supposed to eat chocolate or something like that). I didn't resist, nor tried to escape like i could have done, i remained calm and let the situation unfold. I knew i had power over myself. The man grabbed some handcuffs and he put them in my hands and in my anckles, and they were linked by a chain. Then he entered me in the kiosk, and guided me to the back, where he and she had a laboratory (a pharmaceutical laboratory). Then he opens the high security door and i get in. Inside there was like a pit and many ... characters there who were there to fight, but weren't agressive. Like gladiators. Although i don't like to kill, and i would refrain from doing it, at first i just didn't control myself, and just defended myself being the first and fastest attacker. Then when there were like 5 left, some of the toughest ones i thought that what i was doing wasn't right, so i stopped. (I was using like energy out of my hands, and that made the DC dissapear). The remaining characters weren't agressive, they knew that i still was powerful and could defend myself, but also knew i wouldn't, but even so they didn't attacked me because they were also kind of surprised, and they did more or less the same. I decided that it was time to go out, and i went out.
I got out to the streets and it was dawning. I was in Cordoba, in street caceres de allende, or actually the following street (which i don't know), and reaching Bv San Juan. In a shop there were some matrix agents. I was aware of them, but wasn't bothered by them, they were just some other dream characters. I sensed that in Bv San Juan there was going some kidnapping going on, so i went there, and tried to save the girl/girls being kidnapped. Then i woke up.

WBTB attempt

First fragment

I recall a blurry fragmet in which I was in my house. It was a sunny afternoon, the house was before renovation. I was walking through a hallway.

Second fragment

I was wandering around my school.

Bed @ 2245
Woke @ 0300, lost recall. Meditated, took G, attempted WILD until 0430, got to sleep around 0515.
Woke @ 0700

Broken switches
I'm in my bathroom and flip a light switch. Nothing. I flip it a couple of times with no result, then try the other one. Still nothing. I pull out my phone and try to turn it on, to use its flashlight, but it won't turn on. I realize I must be dreaming, but I don't feel very certain of it. I do a nose-pinch and it takes a couple of times before I'm really convinced, and I realize my RL nose must be stuffy. As soon as I'm convinced that, yes, this is a dream, my vision dims. I start shouting "I'm dreaming! I'm lucid!", rubbing my hands, and spinning, but the dream fades.

I have a false awakening which I don't notice. I'm in bed, in my bedroom, and my family is in the room. I can feel a small body next to my leg under the covers. At first I think it's the baby, and I'm surprised he's under there, but then I see him with my wife and realize it's my youngest daughter. I reach under the covers and rub her curly head, and she giggles. Now we're getting ready to go outside, and the kids are putting on snow gear and asking what kinds of pull-ups to wear. I'm confused for a minute, but I guess it makes sense that if we're going to be out in the snow, someone might have an accident.


Robot wheels
I'm watching a WALLE-like robot go up to a larger robot with bicycle tires (thin square pipe frame with thin pipes coming down at each corner to wheels) and cut off the two front tires. Somehow, the robot is still able to move, but without its front tires it's lost its brakes and can't stop. There's some kind of cylinder behind where each of the tires was, and they're getting red hot. The robot ends up getting onto a moving walkway and launching off into the distance while an old man laughs.


CTRL-ALT-DEL Book
I'm looking at a couple of CTRL-ALT-DEL printed books, trying to line up comics from one with comics from another. I turn the page in one book and see that it has a nude drawing of one of the characters, with "strategic" bits blurred out, and I quickly close the book - I had no idea he'd ever drawn risque/nude pictures of his characters.

Got one DILD to note, as well as some highly vague fragments before that. I may have also achieved a TOTM.

Scrap Group 1
In a beach with my family?

Something about a party in an unknown house.

Dream 1 - Phase Toss

Scene 1 - That Other Player's a Jerk
The visuals were a bit blurred. I falsely awaken on a wide, non-descript platform outdoors. Nothing but a clear blue sky was visible past its edges.

This starts with something gross and weird. I'd prefer to forget about that. Later, I wander around, and find rows of floating, cubical buildings constructed of light colored materials. These were mostly featureless, just some squared holes for windows and low-walled balconies. I made a wide jump to a ledge, when suddenly, some guy came out and punched me right off. Thus, I fall to my doom.

I "respawn", and figured this must be a game. Still, I was feeling unusually vengeful, and made numerous attempts at the guy's life. Yet, whenever I'd approach, he'd get the better of me and send me plummeting. I resort to punching holes into the walls and floor of his home while he was out of view purely to spite him. Somewhere between this petty griefing, I gain awareness. The scene distorts just as quickly.

Scene 2 - Ironic Vision ft. Zangief
Start in the void. My eyes were shut completely and refused to budge. Good thing I remembered to merely "see" past my lids. A new environment formed within seconds. Found myself in a room with a handful of people around me. Rows of pews were just ahead. Oh, a church. Indeed, some man was giving a religious speech in Spanish. Didn't concern myself with as much. I just floated around to look for more interesting things. It seemed no one else could see me. Just as well. The visuals blurred up momentarily, but "closing" my eyes even more fixed that.

Next, I turned to a wall decorated with picture/display frames. Just remembered the phasing task. First, I tried peeking though the walls, but some invisible force near them kept repelling me. Ditto when I tried floating through the ceiling. So, I looked for a way around this, when I noticed an imposing figure just beside me: Zangief from Street Fighter. That was unexpected. Still, I didn't hesitate to ask for help in this matter. He nods in agreement. In an instant, he lifts me by the back of my shirt, and tosses me right through the ceiling.

Now, I was cramped inside a small opening surrounded by wood constructions. Oops, too far, I only needed my head to go through. The ceiling was close enough, so I tried peeking through, and, this time, did so easily. Eh, not much to see. Past an air grate to the right, this was just a narrow, white, featureless enclosure.

We were at the amusement park again, but this time it was night. The group of people split up and me and a familiar person went to hang out around what looked like a courtyard, with roofs surrounding an opening. There were cushions and places to sit but there were also pools in the floor for some reasons.

There was a small exhibit, like a school science fair exhibit, about a mascot named "Rocket" which was a... rocket. I told the DC that I thought Rocket was just a feminine of Rock before I remembered that rocket is a word. There was also some toy trains and tracks. I set something up but it went awry and the train fell over and spilled out the inhabitants which are figurines of Winnie the Pooh and friends, and somehow the train ran them over. We laughed.

I then brought out my laptop to watch anime or something. This friend must've been close to me because he was already apparently faimiliar with my stash of hentai and nude selfies in my pictures folder which I had opened for some reasons. He seemed to mostly like women though. We mentioned something about having to go home soon.

The anime started off on a rather... naughty start, but then it was about a girl and a boy in a magical academy. They were using a magical chest that let them project nightmare visions to prank people, but they got accidentally sucked into the chest and the chest closed and locked. Then began their adventure.

>Dreamed of possibly being someone else then escaping a prison somehow. No one at all noticed! There was a part like in the PS2 game "The Great Escape" where a person cut away a grate in a prison cell then went to the next cell which was unlocked. Later on after leaving (among the many people nearby going in and out) I went back to some residence.

Okay I have been busy with midterms and all my dreams are on a couple of sticky notes on my desk because I haven't found time to write them down until now. I have no idea what dreams belong to what night anymore, so I guess its just going to be like 4.5 points to last nights dreams.

Lets get the boring one out of the way first.

I was in a cross between my middle school in what was pretty much the stereotypical 6th grade math exam dream. I probably would have become lucid had the dream not changed to be more like a building at my college. I got up and left the class in the middle, though.

I went out to lunch with the teacher/professor in the cafeteria that is, like the classroom a weird cross of the student common area and middle school cafeteria. I remember everything I said was dictated by these dialogue prompts and all of the options made me say something that made me seem either unintelligent. I say something about lasagna but it comes out as something about "Cheese and Noodles in the shape of a square." This somehow ends up offending the teacher to the point that she throws a tray in my face.

It later becomes apparent to me that the person who wrote the game/dream didn't know how to spell 'lasagna' and that's why I wound up saying that.

I was carving an oversized pumpkin for Halloween in my kitchen. When I cut it open, there are no guts inside. Just lots of already baked and ready to eat pumpkin seeds.

I am with S. We are driving somewhere in the United States Midwest (He is driving and I am riding passenger. Also, I think we are driving in his old car). I think he is taking me to some kind of convention that I think had something to do with lucid dreaming or spirituality, but we've arrived early.

We get stuck in this traffic jam on our way to the hotel and we see military and police telling us to please drive into this parking structure. The parking structure has a spiral ramp inside of it that we drive up 15 or 20 stories to the top. We get stopped a couple of times due to traffic backups When we get to the very top there are a large number of people making their way across this bridge to the roof of the hotel where there is a swimming pool. (Dream Sign, ahem)

People tell us to look. To our left there is a gigantic beetle monster slowly rampaging through the lower buildings in the city. It opens up its wings and suddenly dashes from left to right to the most densely constructed area of the city, flattening all of the lower buildings and brushing past the parking garage, igniting fires, as well as creating a tremendous gust of wind. The beetle then rolls over in the densest part of the city knocking over several skyscrapers.

People point out two more beetle monsters. These look a bit smaller and have darker shells (instead of a dark bluish gray like the first one these are pure black.) They both dash past the hotel, glancing the facade of the building damaging windows and the outside wall, in a similar manner to the first two, and also begin rolling around in the denser part of the city, grappling with the first beetle. Apparently they are having sex. People start cheering for the beetles.

Some jet fighters fly over and one of them shoots a nuclear missile killing all three of them. S and I decide fairly apathetically that we should leave because the nuclear fallout might be harmful.

Marcus is telling me about his plan to colonize mars. I am seeing a visual of this robotic rocket that will land nose-first. I think at some points in this dream I saw the dials and readouts from Kerbal Space Program. When it lands it will eject the nosecone and the engines and the midsection will prop itself up on six spider-like robotic legs and be able to crawl around the surface. Underneath it also has a number of small devices on robotic arms.

Additional deliveries will land nearby and they will be inflatable habitats for the astronauts that will eventually be living here. However they need to be protected from radiation, so the robot uses a laser to cut mars rocks into interlocking bricks and build them over the inflated habitats.

He says that delivering food is expensive so he wants to make a farming contraption. His original plan is to build this tower that will land in one peice and have three circular, ring-shaped levels and each one can be farmed. But its too heavy to be launched all the way to mars on a rocket and he doesn't want the complexity of assembling it just to cover the food aspect of the mission.

He later comes up with this idea to make inflatable domes (man we're using a lot of inflatable habitats here.) When they are deployed the bottoms flood themselves with muddy water that has the seeds already mixed inside. The interior moisture and temperature can be controlled, though it does get some help heating since the inflatable is clear and it acts as a greenhouse. Some of the water is dried up and added to the atmosphere inside the dome. Then the crops start growing and they are ready to harvest by the time the astronauts arrive.

Marcus=Elon Musk?

I am with my father, S, C, A, and a few of my father's friends. We are playing some kind of first person shooter game. The map of the shooter is the lake behind my house. The lake is lined with a white marble bowl in an oblong sort of boat shape, with decorations along the side. There is water in the lake, but it is just a badly textured 2D sheet. Your character can go under or above the water with no resistance.

At either end of the bowl, there is a team base. The bases look like miniature parthenons and you can go inside them there are several rooms. I think the opposing teams base is larger.

For awhile we are fighting one another. A is the only one on my team. We are losing badly because our base is much smaller than the opposition and it seems to be able to be destroyed. There isn't anything else to hide behind. I somehow enable zero friction skates and begin skating around the bowl. I have some kind of grenade launcher and begin to turn the tide of the battle, my speed and destructive power cannot be matched by the enemy. But at this point the rules of the game and NPC enemies start pouring over the sides of the bowl and we have to fight them instead.

The game switches back to PVP and I get killed the moment it does. I respawn in the enemy base. Inside there is a master bedroom with a bed with red blankets and a large framed picture above it. Noodle from Gorillaz and Heavy From Team Fortress 2 are in the bed 'doing the deed'. Noodle gets out and puts on normal clothes and heavy puts on a hula skirt and coconut bra.

My dad enters. He thinks about killing me for the game winning point, but he seems so confident that he instead starts having a hula dancing contest with Heavy and Noodle. It turns out to be a Steven Universe style fusion dance and they all combine together into this huge black pig/boar, with monster truck wheels for feet and an exhaust pipe for a tail.

It chases me out of the enemy base. I begin using my regular tactic of skating around the arena launching grenades at the monster but I don't seem to be damaging it. Eventually I run out and resort to throwing fire missiles. (Somehow still nonlucid) Then, Machine guns come out of the boar's nose and kill me.

The dream scene changes to what looks like a scene from Skryim. It is a circular arena with stone arches all around it. Some of them have collapsed but the debris pile make the arena difficult to leave. It feels about the same size as the old one but is circular rather than oblong. The monster truck boar hybrid is still rampaging around.

Marcus is on a science fiction hovering platform above the arena. He talks about something called a weapon archetype that persistent dream characters and dreamers have. Apparently it is a schema that becomes associated with a character to what type of weapon they are most in tune with using to handle threats (though it can change), and goes on to cite examples of how in the past, dream me has used a pole like weapon but lately it has changed to be my skates.

Manei is in the arena, fighting the monster. At first she makes attempts to beat it unarmed by tricking it into ramming itself into walls and pillars but it does not work, it just shakes off the impact. The monster gets the upper hand and rams her into rocks with its tusks. She could run away from the fight, through the archways that the monster could not fit but chooses intentionally not to, even though she is getting beat up. She's intentionally trying to bring out a more agressive side of herself and is aware of the fact that death is temporary.

I want to get in there and help her but am unable to manifest a physical body or stop merely spectating. There is some broken logic that I cannot get lucid because I do not have a body with which to do a nose pinch RC.

After taking a particularly bad blow opening a wide cut on her forehead her outfit changes to be blue/gray/black, with armored shoulder-pads and a gray sash around the body. (Only making a detailed note of the outfit changes since her outfit is usually consistent.) Apparently reflecting that she has changed her mindset to be more similar to mine since dream me usually wears these colors.

She attempts to manifest a weapon. She reaches behind her back (I am viewing her from the front in this case) and pulls out a sword handle. She throws it aside, frustrated. She tries again and pulls a black stick about a foot long with gold decorations on it. She puts her palm to one end and draws it and green energy goes around it forming into a bluish green sword blade. Its a long curved sword, like an oversized katana.

She proceeds to easily defeat the charging boar-monster truck thing by sliding underneath it and cutting open the belly, causing the monster and the truck tires to deflate rather pathetically. She puts the sword into a sheath but it does not disappear. She then makes two more identical shorter swords and sheathes them too. Her wounds disappear and she walks over to show me the sword.

I get a view of it like when you gather a rare item in Skyrim and you can examine the model. Apparently the blade is made of malachite. It is mostly turquoise but has some light green patterns in it and is very beautiful. Marcus comments that its remarkable someone does so well their first time managing to conjure a weapon. (Even I can't make a weapon like THAT) I am then allowed to hold the large sword, but I sense I am waking up. It handles sluggishly and it seems too heavy for me to wield effectively. I can also feel it vibrating and putting a strange energy into my arm as though the sword itself is rejecting me.

Perhaps the expected outcome of being handed someone else's weapon schema.
