non-lucid

July 31, 2016: Optimen BID, B6, 100mg h.s.: I am in what appears to be a dormitory setting complete with a full kitchen. I meet an attractive college-age female dream character who says her name is Joanne. I asked her if she would like to take a motorcycle ride with me to buy a new suit. She says she would like to accompany me except she has a doctors appointment to have a cyst in her throat assessed.

A male dream character appears in the kitchen standing next to the counter upon which is a blender. He says to Joanne that he would be willing to call her doctor to cancel the appointment so that she would not have to pay a late cancellation fee, and she agrees to that plan of action. Joanne says she will meet me at the store.

I step out into the hall and mount my Ultra Classic. I look at the dashboard and there is a clear film over some of the control buttons like when you buy a new iPhone. I start to pick at the plastic. After the plastic is removed I make adjustments to the windscreen, and wheel the motorcycle to the outside, where I find the road is wet from an ongoing misty rain.

I mount the motorcycle and look to my left. There is a Marshals directly across the street, however it is across a divided highway and there does not appear to be a direct route to get there. I’m forced to turn right on what starts out to be a paved road. I make my first left. On my left is an abandoned Shell gas station. It is surrounded by a chain link fence. The road becomes a damp, puddled, rutted sandy dirt road with many fallen tree branches the size of telephone poles. The road also has some slippery wet rocks in the distance. My son S. appears and he scrambles on foot over these obstructions ahead of me. I try to negotiate the heavy touring motorcycle over and past these obstructions until I am thwarted by a large wet boulder.

The dream scene shifts. I am standing on what appears to be a well-lit high school auditorium stage. To my left is a cheap picnic table covered in a white tablecloth. There are three folding chairs on the far side - none on the near side. Joanne is seated in the middle chair. Her mouth is covered by what appears to be a large Band-Aid. To her right, a child sized doll it's seated with a yellow balloon in its lap. Although it is a pleasant looking doll there is something creepy about its character. I wake. Time is 3:00am.

Last night went to bed at 6pm. Slept till 3am

Had at least 4 distinct dreams. Last one, we talked about traveling and comparing sand from some beach to sand from Nile.

Yesterday's dream:
I'm in Alaska.
Somebody has a problem with 2 spirits, a boy and a girl spirit. I'm recommending someone to take care of it, but then we realize tha person has connection to spirits as well.

I'm walking on a street. I have only regular shoes on, so I'm careful not to slip. Streets are covered with ice from snow that melted then froze again. It's very slipery, has some puddles and it's not even. I get to some stores and restaurant that have an awning and that makes the walkway a bit more safe. I'm thinking I should eat there some local Alaskan fish, since I'm in Alaska.

I'm either on the ground, or I'm the "camera" and I'm close to the ground. A strange kind of snake, vaguely resembling a Cobra but not quite, creeps up on me and suddenly attacks. Suddenly, it's become a kind of large rodent. Somewhat rat-looking, but BIG, almost a small dog. It bites into my hand. I realize it's hurting me (even though it didn't really hurt, I don't think I've ever felt real pain in dreams), but I can't get it off. In panic, I bite into the creature's neck, and bite hard - almost severing the head completely.

I remember I had a dream that took place at my old family home (or once again another place clearly modeled in its image). All details lost.

I recall another dream involving multiple characters. I could fly, and I flew around a river (artificial-looking) of sorts. I flew above the water surface, making sure to stay high enough - as I knew there were "people" swimming underwater that could jump out and catch me. I also recall biting into a bikini-clad girl's hip for some reason.

I was Spock (Zachary Quinto), dressed in a bizarrely effeminate outfit, doing a funny walk and finally attacking some enemies like a total badass. I wondered how this character could have been so popular when the first movie came out, if he looked this queeny.

I recall only a fragment. It was a sunny and warm day. With younger sister we were flying high up in the sky, above fields. We flewn into a city of some kind, where in an alley we met with our family.

I fell asleep around 12am last night and woke up at 3am. Thank goodness for that except I had a first dream but now I can hardly remember anything about it. I didn't write my second and first dream after waking up from it so that's why i'm at a lost as to what the first one was about. Its too bad but there will have to be no fragment for the first one.


Second Dream

I don't really remember what happened first but what I do recall is being at a school and listening to a woman who was my English college teacher complaining about something related to her looks. After that I somehow ended up standing on the grass with a girl and a man figuring out how I would save us from dehydrating since the world's water supply was running low. There was a blue symbol in front of my view hovering in the air that looked like a drop. Another one was a black splattered drop representing ink from a pen. I was going to press the blue one when the man told me not to since I would be giving his daughter contaminated water to drink. I looked closely than saw a light blue water symbol appear and he told me that it was the one I was supposed to choose so I pressed it.

The water was than transferred to the girl's body and she was no longer in trouble but we needed more water. I followed the man and the girl to a building where there was a elevator. My brother than arrived and joined me in the elevator but after it arrived at the next floor it started messing up and we had to jump off quickly. This somehow led to me mistaking a door for a window and almost falling to the ground. I held onto the edge of the building calling out to my brother for help but he just stood next to the window talking to another dc about how careless I was. Using my strength I pushed myself up and managed to get inside.

Not sure if something followed after that but what I recall next is ending up at my house that looked somewhat like the original except that my mom and dad were renovating it. I walked to a huge room that was supposed to be mine and saw my mom spray painting the walls with light pink spray paint. I loved the color and how bright the room was because of the windows. But when I went to check the kitchen it was cluttered with kitchenware and the spray painted pink walls looked like they were covered in pink dirt. I thought it was because my mom had sprayed more than enough coats of paint on it.

When my mom came to the kitchen i took a white cloth and offered her some help with the kitchen. I placed the cloth on the spray painted heater and wiped it thinking that it would even out the pink paint. But the pink paint just wiped off of the heater. That's when i realized how my logic had failed me there and so did my mom. She told me not to worry about the rest and tried spray painting the wall again where the pink dirt was. I decided to just leave things how they were and walked to another room in the house.

The room I entered had dirt all over the ground,no flooring(Some spots 2 feet high) and what looked like mouse tracks was on the dirt. I entered it as my older brother and dad were observing the ground. My brother mentioned how they found the skeleton of our dog Max who died last year. There was a skeleton of a dog on the ground but it didn't look like the type of dog Max was and the back bone looked taped."That can't be Max. He didn't have a broken back bone. There's tape on it too"I said to him.

I than kept looking around to see if Max's skeleton was really in the room but it wasn't. So I went to another room where my dad was(with wood flooring and no dirt) and to my surprise I saw a little owl the size of a sparrow. It was so cute hopping on the floor that I put my finger near it and called to it. It looked at me curiously than flew to my finger. I sat down and made bird noises at it than took my phone out my pocket and recorded the bird on my finger. But I wanted to be in it so I asked my dad to hold the phone for me. He complained but than took the phone. After a few seconds though the owl changed into another small bird and flew away. I stood back up after that and woke up.


Third Dream

I was in my bedroom with the door slightly open, letting some of the light from the hall get into my room. Hoping to fall asleep so I could have a lucid dream I pulled my covers close to me and kept my eyes closed. But than I felt someone get close behind me. I knew it was a girl because she told me something before applying pressure to my stomach with her hands. I recognized it was a dream character and got off the bed trying to get away from her. She didn't feel threatening but I saw her as annoying so I wanted to get rid of her. I got out the room seeing my mom doing the laundry and told her about the girl that keeps bothering me. My mom replied to me but I can't remember what she said.

I than went back to my room and got on my bed. While I was on my bed the girl was still present trying to mess with me but than I noticed that the top half of my bed was now a red table with take out food on it. A lady who was supposed to be my mom's old co worker came in and removed a Mc Donald bag and threw it on my bed. She than place whatever was hers on the table. I looked at the bag than at her mad and placed the Mc Donald bag that now felt like it was mine back on the table. I got up and walked out to complain to my mom about the co worker too but my mom didn't want to start any problems so she said to just ignore her.

I went back to my room for the second time and noticed that there was a guy talking on the phone in the bedroom next to me. He was ordering a pizza on the phone with another lady next to him. I was going to ask if he could order a pizza for I and my mom but than changed my mind because my mom didn't work with them anymore. So I wouldn't have to hear the co workers speak about my mom I decided to go upstairs. When I reached the kitchen I picked up my phone and saw a video on the screen that looked like YouTube and saw a original animation a little girl had made of a guy getting lost in the ocean. He than arrives at a island where a girl from the local island finds him but while the guy is in the water he realizes he has merman powers. There was already around 250 likes on the video which made me feel inspired to make something too but I had no clue what it would be about.

After that happened somehow I ended up playing Mario Kart 8 mixed with Mario Kart for Nintendo 64 with my younger brother and the dream girl. We were racing each other and using shells to take away each other's balloons. But after playing for a while I ended up on a street with a lady who looked like a stranger but was my mom's old friend. She had a small black car like Mario Kart and was about to go down the hill but stopped to talk with me. The setting was night and we were in a city with bright lights and many cars around. "Do you still help your mom around the house?" she asked me. I nodded saying "yeah, I do what i can to help her".Than she looked at me with doubt and said that I could help her a little more than what I was already doing. I said okay trying to get the conversation over with but subtlety so I didn't seem rude.

When it was over she sat in the small black car and I put my feet in it and bent down a bit. The car rolled down the hill a bit than I just got up and said goodbye. I didn't want to break the car and this was close to my stop anyways. I walked fast to the bright yellow sidewalk and down until it leveled itself.I than started to think about how if this is a dream than I want to just imagine Dawn in front of me and see him. A bright white light appeared in front of me than disappeared letting me see Dawn in a yellow long sleeve shirt, with white long pants, in his anime form laying on the ground unconscious as the cafe next to him had its window smashed and was being robbed by bandits. I ran to him than got on my knees and looked at his face. He was still unconscious even though I touched him. "Maybe if I kiss him he'll wake up" I thought just focusing on how cool he looked to me. I kissed his cheeks a few times but than thought about what I would do if a bandit came behind me and tried to hit me with something. A tall burly man than came from behind me and lifted a bottle up so he could hit me hard on the head with it. I used a pink shield above me but he didn't go for the hit and just faded. I than looked to Dawn who opened his eyes and looked at me with a straight and serious face.

"Maybe another kiss won't hurt?" I thought still absorbed by his looks and tried getting close to him but he sat up and put his hand on my face pushing me back. He messed up my vision for a bit by doing that than stood up. I got up as well and tried following him when he entered the cafe. The dream setting than changed into a 3D arcade game where it was like Super Mario but like a maze as well because you had to jump over obstacles/walls,collect coins, land on platforms,etc. I was now viewing what was happening from third perspective but still was in control of myself.I looked like my short haired blond oc character though and was wearing a white winter jacket with a black/pink scarf. There was a moment where I jumped in the air but fell when Dawn had reached the platform."Wait for me!" I shouted wondering if Dawn would just keep going. He waited for a bit though and i continued to follow him. After following for a bit my mind got kind of side tracked and I started collecting coins which led to me falling down a huge tunnel that did not have anti gravity.I was now separated from Dawn and that was kind of disappointing. But than the girl dc character jumped down the tunnel giggling. She was like a extra side kick and followed me as I continued the game.But cause of this game thing I lost lucidity. It now felt like my cousin was playing the game. His mom shouted in the background asking if he wanted to eat dinner. Think he said no but anyways after that I woke up.


Competition Points
• 35 points

:3 I think that's it for the points. If I'm missing something or do something wrong with points and your reading this feel free to tell me. I appreciate it!

I was living in a big house. A giant one, full of teenagers. I was probably 16-17 again, and there were guys and girls everywhere. The place was run on a schedule like a summer camp but I wasn't really participating. The laws of this world were also governed more like a videogame. People had menus for their items, they had costumes and add ons, things you could get to float around you, etc... Some people were just a dinosaur or something like that, indicating high level I guess as a transformation like that was hard to come by. At one point I was talking to my buddy about golf on this big round patio next to the street, and I said to begin the process for a good old game. After that I noticed that chris, his asian friend, and Dylan Janes were scheming across the road on an identical patio. I went over and found out they wanted to steal some content and re sell it in a whole new console or something like that. While they were plotting this, a guy across the street (we were on a balcony) was like "Aye! The plan is in full forward!" He meant the golf game.

The game was not me and my buddies but myself and a gentleman in his 50s. We were trying to play but every time I swung the club bent because it was an incredibly shitty metal. Eventually we called the game off and I went to see Chris about his plan. In the plaza where those balconies were everyone was hanging out and music was playing. Right when the beat dropped I leaped in the air and glided over to the guys, just to look cool. At one point I started lucidly controlling the glide and was partially aware I must be dreaming but never took interest in reality checking. Dylan and the Asian were on on the balcony, and Chris suddenly showed up and handed a virtual box of items to the Asian kid. He had that Chris scheming look on his face, and Dylan started ranting about the money they would make.

I wanted to try this theft thing, but first I went to explore. I went to the guy's locker room and opened my items, seeing that I had basically nothing. I went out and around a corner and found a room with a fortune telling NPC. It was premium content and a list of real dollar costs came up in front of him as I approached. I walked out saying fuck that! I went past the guys changerooms and saw the entrance to the girls changerooms. A bunch of boys had tried sneaking in and were caught, so the girls had put tiny auto sentry turrents on the doors and had girls standing guard. The guys who did it came by and all the girls chased after them. I was determined to break in there, because I knew I was more skilled than those guys and this was the first challenge I'd seen. About 15 feet in front of the doors was a hole in the floor that had a little crawlspace in it. The crawlspace continued away from the doors under the floor for about 10 feet and opened up wider in the back part. I crawled in there, and then adjusted my position so I could see a tiny sliver of the doors but my body would be hidden. Some girls would look down there and I would ignore them, and then one chick said "I know what you're doing you asshole!" I replied "Yeah, trying to catch a fucking nap in here!" She blushed and went away. Eventually everyone was gone, probably for lunch. I take my tiny little low power laser and use it to blow up the little sentry turrets on the doors, and then a girl walks in slowly and enters. I float out of the hole and silently pursue her, and she goes right to the lockers. I try to open her inventory but she has nothing. When she opens her locker I open her inventory again, and I can see EVERYTHING in there. Hundreds of items, from regular clothing to full battle armor are in there, but I have no time to read them, I just start taking every single thing. There's obviously no weight limit so I just hold down the steal button and take the whole list, then silently creep out. I book it around the corner, past the fortune teller and into an empty room that has a hallway leading further away. I hide in a corner, and some high level people dressed as dwarves and T rexes are walking past me through the hallway. I open my inventory and accidentally equip everything. Holiday items, costumes, Armors, cloaks, huge graphic effects like floating moons and illuminati symbols fill the air and tiny little fireworks go off. I start taking it all off, but leave on two extremely high level charms that have floating hands on either side protecting me, and a cloak. I can't wear a disguise as the person who had the items will recognize them.

I get into the hall and see that in the local chat that person just said "I was just sneak thieved of 32m lol". Holy shit I just stole 32 million coins of items. Better return it all. I see the girl, who by the way is obviously being played by Ricky Gervais, and I throw my wallet on the ground. This removes all my items. Theres a big fuss about the stolen stuff, and everyone blames everyone else while secretly wishing they did it, this was clearly one of the most epic loots in history.

Eventually they figured out it was me, and ganged up on me. I ran for my wallet and like 20 people tried to take it from me. I started booming "Let me go or I will smite you." To the person who had a grip on the wallet and they quickly backed off. I admitted to stealing it all, them smirked and walked to Ricky Gervais and returned all the items in one click. I told him I had planned on returning it all, and I was going to do it by picking the fortune teller up and moving him into Rickys room. This would cause a massive panic because a core NPC would be missing, Ricky would go home to find it in his place and in its item storage would be all the stolen goods. But my plan was foiled.

After a good laugh I woke up.

Spellbee's Summer Lucid Competition 2016 - Entry 1

Bleh. Not much to note on dreams, one complete one from before dawn, and a number of fragments afterwards. There was one scrap which was LD related, and another where I should have identified the state, but, oh well. That's that.

Dream 1 - Sonic Fights Some Bones

The visuals were slightly blurred. I was watching someone (my nephew?) play a 3D Sonic game, of which took place in the ruins of a destroyed present-day city.

First few minutes were spent exlporing the site and getting a handle for the controls. This included jumping around in a demolished warehouse, and grinding on a row of fallen street lamps. The stage was initially empty of any other figures, whether enemies or just background characters.

Then, as he turned a corner, he was suddenly ambushed by a gigantic, hunched hominid skeleton. Sonic's attacks were useless, and so he was forced to flee. In response, the giant chucked huge (arm or leg) bones with deadly accuracy.

At one point, outright Sonic changes into E-102 Gamma. The robot's too slow to evade the incoming projectiles, but he could redirect these by laser-blasting them away. Unfortunately, the player isn't much of a shooter. He complains of how difficult this all is, while I claim he just needed to work on his technique.

Not sure what happens until the dream ended.

20 minute WBTB. Unsuccussful.

Scrap Group 1
Several forgotten dreams connected by a group of similar false awakenings. In these, I'd "awaken" in bed with my dream guide, E, laying next to me. I was too tired and tried getting back to sleep, only for her to harass me by pushing me around and even biting me.

At home. Go Theodore's room to help him fix his computer's DVD drive. Some driver issues, I think? Claude turns up. Several media conversations, including a few comments bemoaning previously liked shows that've disappointed us as time went by. I hoped Rick and Morty wouldn't become one of such shows. Theodore states his dislike of the series for its overt use of gross humor.

Visiting Donny's place, for some reason. He's getting some games set up, when he's called in for work. Overheard his supervisor saying quite some demeaning things. Donny tried hiding his displeasure. Numerous unknown people then turned up, co-workers of his, I thought.

Claude and I are testing out a few things in D&D. We put several character builds against a Forgotten Beast (incorrect reference; that's a generated monster from Dwarf Fortress) to see how long they'd last. The last one, a Wizard, stood virtually no chance. I bemoaned how unfair this was. Claude made a snippy remark of my "needing to think a little" to overcome this. How infuriating. As I walk away, I imagine violently taking out my anger out on him. This illusion takes form, and I identify as much, yet I'm too soured to entirely realize the dream.

D1 -Borrowing my sisters small white car to drive out to place in the countryside. A large house on many levels with a staircase running the length of the house. It is winter time and my brother is doing something with the heating, I am wearing winter gear indoors Oo.
I have to phone my sister to explain about the car, shes kinda ok about it.

D2- At school I have to deal with crazy new year ones. Boss complains about my handling of situation. Then it turns out he is partly to blame and could have forseen problems. I berate him angrily.
I introduce a new system of rewards which works well and am congratulated by all.

D3- In some kind of game world. I am talking with a team mate I have a blue background which is waving like a flag a projection. I am choosing to downgrade.

Fragments
I remember being apart of maybe some sort of fighting UFC thing? Maybe a family member or something was UFC fighter? Can barely remember it.

WBTB: Failed


Non-Lucid Dreams
After my WBTB attempt, I accidentally fell asleep a bit too quick. I remember having a dream in the Walking Dead Universe, where I was part of Ricks group. We were held up in this school or gym or something, for sure. We were just doing some work, involving hoses or water or whatever, and I was helping out. When we were done and inside, someone knocked on the door. I grabbed two, ahem, "weapons", which were a nerf gun and I large thick stick lol. I threatened the dude who knocked to step back (he didnt have any weapons) and then Rick came over with his bigass revolver, you know the one, and asked him the questions he asks people in the show, if I remember correctly, "How many walkers have you killed", "How many people have you killed", "Why". The guy answered them (dont remember the answers) and told us how he had a school up and running, and asked me if I would like to join. In my mind, I thought it'd be kinda nice, but he was teaching really young kids and I don't think I would learn much. Rick said no, anyways. I forgot what happened to him, but the guy left. I then remember helping the group with some stuff some more, and then the dream was over.

I think I like to keep my entries short and sweet.

Anyway, I had several vivid dreams this morning and a lucid dream about work. The lucid dream about work featured me doing things that would normally get anyone fired in the United States but I knew I was lucid dreaming so it was okay.

However, the dream-versions of the people who I work with started getting angry in a way which - for a moment - I thought was a bit too realistic and for an instance made me think that I was not dreaming and in fact...about to get myself fired from my job.

After about five seconds, the dream characters began to say...

"He knows...."

He knows what?

They were saying to one another that I knew that the entire scenario was a dream but they were pretending like it wasn't one so scare me. After having another confirmation that it was a dream, I carried on acting out the lucid dream.

So far, I have had like...three lucid dreams in a week? My goal is to have a lucid dream every single day.

If I can achieve that, I think it is safe to say at that point I am a natural lucid dreamer and thus I will share techniques with this board and Reddit.

Title. I had about four fragments, but by the time I got around to writing up I had just one dream left.

(meme stolen from the meme thread)

Dream 1 | Detention

I'm sitting at a table facing "north" (all compass directions are made up when writing the DJ entry). The table is long and rectangular. It appears full. I am sitting at the end of the table on one of its long sides. The table extends a long way east, and a DC is sitting next to me at the west end (age unclear, looks Asian, female, black hair, does not exist IRL). It is quiet. There are more tables to the north. This appears to be at school and everyone has paper in front of them, working on something. I am definitely working on something, possibly with her. My pencil sharpener opens over the desk, spilling sharpenings everywhere. Eventually a teacher (exists IRL) arrives from the east and puts us both in detention. (He would never do this IRL.) I try to explain that it wasn't her fault, and she says something to me, but the teacher doesn't respond. Strangely, I don't have any objection to being put in detention.

Shortly afterwards, I end up going east to a hill where there might be a small house or wagon. The dream fades and eventually it ends and I either go back into deep sleep or wake up.

Frag: Something to do with shopping at Kroger with my mom. There was a stegosaurus in the parking lot eating people's groceries and cars and a thunderstorm was coming.

Frag: I thought of dream music. Neptune the Mystic from Holst’s planets suite was all I got. I feel like I kept hearing it through dreams.

Frag: I was watching One Punch Man season two. In it, he encountered this character from another dimension called "One Kick Woman" who was more powerful than Saitama. When asked what her power came from she said that she did TWO hundred push ups, TWO hundred sit ups, TWO hundred squats and a 20km run each day. She had a green and black costume.

Man, I should draw that.

Dream, since two frags from it: Something to do with being stranded a tropical island. I was with a few other people and we were all naked. I think we were on a reality TV show. Someone said something about making coconut cups for our genitals along with coconut bras for the females, but I didn't want to do it because I thought it would look ridiculous. I said that everyone was naked under their clothes and we should put survival essentials before modesty.

...

At the end of the dream, The show's crew packed up but I wanted to stay on the island alone. The crew said that the island would be underwater soon because of global warming. I said that I didn't care.

Spoiler for im gonna spoiler this one just in case, its weird and gross:

I was sitting with a friend in his room. For some reason he had a large drop-down screen like an overhead projector and was projecting his computer screen while drawing on his tablet so I could watch. He was drawing a picture of a teenage anime girl with brown hair sitting on the toilet. He said that drawing the poop was his favorite part. (This, my fellow dreamers, is why I don't specifically mention my friends.) He put these four rows of statistic and numbers near her butt that said how good she was at pooping.

I remember one of them was "+2 Constipation Resistance"

I left the room and came back with a soda. I was more confused than anything. He opened this folder and showed me he was using the art to make a trading card game about anime girls pooping. Apparently the story was that it took place in this school where the girls learned the techniques and trained their digestion to make the best poops in the world for giving to scientists to study and stuff. The things I saw were:

Traffic Light Poop (A special effect card with a picture of a red, yellow and green poop)
(A random anime girl)
Belly Expansion Beans (A special effect card with a a picture of beans.)
Yoko (from GL, Apparently he was using characters from other animes.)
(Something about men urinating)

I'm fairly certain I woke up laughing from that dream and went pee myself. I suppose that counts as a WBTB since I went back to bed with the intention of LDing. My chronology is all messed up, I don't remember what order these dreams came in at all. Just that this took place at around 4:00am.

I was watching a movie about Godzilla. (Supposedly a followup to the Godzilla 2014 movie. In the movie, Godzilla was walking around the city. Pearl from Steven Universe was there trying to stop Godzilla but she was giant and glowing orange. She had some help from these little crystalline beetles that also glowed orange, I think she summoned them. When the tried to fight Godzilla he did something to turn parts of them green, then Godzilla left.

Then I appeared in the dream and was able to turn the parts of their bodies that had been turned back to orange mostly, with still a few green spots. They all went and got onto a UFO to go back to their home planet, and said that they weren’t attacking earth and felt it would be better to just leave in peace before any more destruction happened on either side. I think Samurai Jack appeared in the movie toward the end and helped me to split up the fighting forces and broker peace. But people thought that it was a plot point that came out of nowhere.

I remember my uncle saying. “That was a good movie, they didn’t waste time with anything and got right to the action…”

I remember I was in a mining camp at night. The setting was otherworldy. Stripey blue rocks with black metallic bismuth-like crystals in them and a dark gray sky. The metallic crystals was what we were mining.

We are sitting around the fire. Me and a few friends were using these things called murmur men. They were basically like zombie men that we could use as free labor to dig up minerals. They didn’t need to eat or sleep and acted like robots always taking orders. (You could just order one to walk off a cliff and it would oblige.) And when they were ‘killed’ by something they could just regenerate by having a skeleton come up from underground and reforming their flesh onto it.

I remember I said that I liked to give the murmur men meals and sleep, even though they could be worked 24 hours a day without food or sleep it made me feel better and it made the murmur men more productive when they did work because it made them happier. My friends got mad at me for letting them do this because they said they were nothing more than tools to be used for our mining. I remember thinking that when I had the chance, I was going to try and set all of the murmur men free.

Someone said something about building a second windmill for our camp. We already had one windmill powering our camp. I remember seeing the timber frame and metal rotor, and in intricate detail, seeing the gearbox we had assembled to turn the generator that provided our area with power. 2D from Gorillaz appeared and started singing the Gorillaz song ‘Feel good Inc’ and our windmill changed to the one from the flying windmill island. Golden sunlight started shining through the clouds onto the windmill.

I FA’d. I was with family members. We were all sleeping together in this big log cabin themed suite. It had separate rooms for each of us. I remember looking out the door and seeing this creepy mime girl with black and white makeup looking at me from the counter. (I think ‘Mime Girl’ was what I was calling her internally.) I remember she had all white eyes that glowed.

She posessed one of my cousins into going after us and trying to attack. Family members all started waking up at the sound of screams and they were panicking because they didn’t want to fight my cousin since he was a family member. I know he killed at least one person before I even woke up. Everyone went into the central kitchen area of the cabin where we saw he had a steak knife and different people lunged in and pulled away trying to take it from him.

My aunt was getting extremely emotional because she didn’t know what she could do. She tried talking to him about loving his family but it didn’t work and my cousin stabbed my aunt in the arm. She backed away and then fainted into the arms of my father who started looking around for something to bandage it with. The wound didn't seem to be bleeding, it was just like a red cut mark on her arm.

I remember being in what was supposed to be this intense family situation, I was just thinking like "I don't care, can we get this over with and go back to sleep." I think it was actually a low level of lucidity acting on me. I figured I'd just get in there and show everyone how it was done. I went in after my possessed knife-wielding cousin. I remember I moved in on him and tried to disarm the knife but he was too fast and he stabbed me in the chest. There was a moment of intensity here, but I snapped back into my apathetic layer-zero lucidity attitude as I fell to the floor. My wound shared the same characteristic to my aunts'. No blood came out, it was just like a short red line on my body.

My reaction was something along the lines of “Oh darn… I’ve been stabbed by my cousin who was possessed by a demonic mime. For some reason I just don't care. ” I remember looking at the mime girl while things went to black and saying. “Maybe we should have been fighting HER instead of my cousin.”

Then my youngest cousin went in. When the posessed cousin tried to stab him he caught the knife blade between his hands, ninja kicked him back without hurting him too much and threw the knife at the mime girl, banishing her.

I was fully dead now and watching third person as a spirit. My youngest cousin said turned to me and said thanks for giving him the strength to be a little ninja. I was lucid enough to know that this was somehow in reference to me calling the kids in my taekwondo class yesterday 'Little Ninjas' when they did a good job on their kicks. (My cousin isn't in my Taekwondo class though)

This apathy has been a focus of mine lately, during the meditations I've been doing. I put a lot of thought into these sorts of dreams, that often seems like they're designed specifically to create emotional scenes, but I'm usually very apathetic towards them. It feels like theres this very low level of lucidity that's worked its way into these dreams.

Morning of July 30, 2016. Saturday.



My wife Zsuzsanna and I, mostly as we are now, are in an unknown and unfamiliar city. We are looking for a particular bookstore but cannot find it. It seems to be late afternoon. We ask directions a few times in the area where the bookstore is supposed to be, but it is as if people do not know where it is even when they live on the same street in apartment buildings supposedly right next to it. This both puzzles and annoys us. I do not think they are deliberately misleading us but there is also the idea it may have closed down.

We go to an intersection and around the corner where one older male claims the bookstore is, but it is not there. There is one delicatessen nearby. The area vaguely reminds me of La Crosse, near and around Third Street.

I become aware that there is one street that is dangerous as there are two or three velociraptors roaming around. I neither realize how absurd it is for dinosaurs to be on the loose nor how they would limit their territory to one small section of a city block and not go beyond that at any time.

Zsuzsanna and I wander through an abandoned empty shopping arcade. It is fairly dark inside even though it is still daylight outside the large buildings. The arcade has two large halls that intersect. I suspect the velociraptors are just outside one entrance but I do not feel that concerned as I become semi-lucid though not actively.

---

Velociraptors (or anything that could harm or swallow the dreamer) would be a typical aggressive coalescence factor as the potential waking precursor. Looking for a bookstore implies trying to find my conscious mind (or conscious identity as such) at the threshold of the upcoming waking stage. I do not know if aggressive coalescence factors are triggered by real environmental cues, though this would make perfect since as early man was always needful to be wary as such when sleeping (the only difference being that early man probably did not have to seek his conscious identity, at least as much, to prepare for the waking transition to face whatever real danger may have triggered his dream content).

Fallen asleep at 0:25, woke up at 4:00. Tried some WBTB but no lucid results.

First dream

It was a grim, overcast day. It was in some huge haunted mansion, deep inside woods, an alley with elms growing on both sides was leading to it. I was a witcher and with some other witchers we were fighting a huge monster that was moving so quick, that it was hard to tell how it exactly looked like. The monster had something to do with the mansion and forest and I knew that there was a reason why it was there. We were fighting bravely, using only swords.

Some time later I was back in my mansion in some city. I was wearing a black suit, preparing for a funeral of a man that died helping us. Suddenly I heard someone knock to my door. I went out of my changing room, went downstairs and opened the door. I saw another man in black suit, but I didn't knew him. He asked "Are you Geralt of Rivia?" I confirmed and the man entered my mansion. I realized that it's an ambush and tried using some sign to eliminate him, but he was quicker. He touched my chest and I felt like something really heavy lied on it. I couldn't breathe and my heart was pounding heavily. Then a shot - he had a sawed-off shotgun and shot me in my chest.

Then I turned into someone else - a little girl. I checked a book for forest spirits and other wraiths living in forests, then left my house and went to the elm alley, heading towards the haunted mansion.

Second dream

I was in some kind of huge city, in my house in a flat. Suddenly something happened, I left my room and saw all the people running in panick. There was no time to ask, demons attacked and we had to defend ourselves. There were huge armies of enormous bald men with yellow glow in their eyes. They were spitting out fire and lava, entering rooms and killing everyone in sight. Somehow I was able to tear my way to a shopping mall, where I had to stop on moving stairs. Stairs going down were taken by demons who attacked everyone on the stairs going upwards, igniting them with pyrokinesis and throwing fireballs. A few times I saw a little boy, whole in blood, going up the stairs. He was grinning ominously to me, demons did him no harm. I decided to fight back instead of escaping this time, fighting fire with fire. I thrown fireballs and used pyrokinesis at demons, but my aim wasn't very accurate. Once I hit that strange boy with fireball, but again he wasn't even harmed, still grinning to me. I managed to send demons back for some time, so that people could arrange hospital in nearby shops. I went there to help them, I saw that weird boy again.

Suddenly I found myself at the backside of a car, with someone who was giving driver a syringe. The man had black hair and was wearing a pale blue shirt and black trousers. I had two pillows with me, but as the man left the car he took one of them. We drove forward, but I told them to drive back so I could get my pillow. Driver did as I said and we took both the man and the pillow inside.

We drove to a huge cathedral, thousands of people gathered to see a pope making a mass for successfully banishing demons back to hell. The pope came closer to edge of some platform and said "To destroy devil, we have to take it's power!" A hellish pit opened up and people started to take power, but it came with enslavement as heavy chains or barbed wires grown all around them. I shouted out "No!", people have disappeared and I was left with a demon that possessed pope. He spawned a minion - it was a humanoidal demon made of salt that was hard as rock. It had spider like mandibles, eyes covered by round glasses made of salt and it had also soldier clothing made of salt. We were fighting, it was really hard to harm the demon. I used an attack and run away tacting, running all around the chamber. The demon jumped in front of me and with high pitched voice of little girl said "We will destroy humans!"

I started fighting with more ferocity, managing to destroy one of demon's hands and distorting it's face badly. Then the possessed pope appeared and fixed his demon with one gesture, then said "Come on! That line was great! You know how hard it is to train a demon like this?" I ran to give it another punches and then the pope said to demon "Look, he's coming back! You could say your line again!" He treated the demon like a child, probably it had a mind of a child. We continued our battle, punching, dodging, running away and chasing. Suddenly the salt demon disappeared and pope appeared. I saw a door to the side of chamber open up and release devil's source of power. I thought "Someone succeeded in getting to the switch deep in hell." I quickly ran towards it and not minding force field that pained badly, I jumped and put my hand into power source, scrathing it all over with nails. It burnt slightly. Pope appeared and said "And what you wanted to achieve with this? You stand no chance..." Suddenly the hellish realm (as getting through cathedral's doorway was walking through portal to it) started to fall apart. But I managed to escape in a capsule that I found.
