non-lucid

Before my big lucid dream, I was dreaming that my company hired a growth hacker from Scandinavia and rebranded our business to be all pink. She had a lot of pets and her husky liked me. Then a massive tank or something like that rolled through and I went to hide under my bed (bc surprise surprise, every dream takes place in my apartment ).

I woke up, entered sleep paralysis, and witnessed for the first time my desired dream scene LOADING in front of me. It worked like how a printer does - loaded in from the left to the right, and each turn made it clearer and clearer until I was fully in the scene. I was in a beach house. It felt so real that I was disappointed when I did a reality check and realised it was a dream.

I went outside to explore. The garden looked like my parents' garden. Although the dream was stable, I literally licked the brick wall to stabilise myself and it worked. I saw a man in the garden and turns out he was my dream boyfriend (why do my dreams always assign me boyfriends smh). I said hello to him and told him I'd speak to him shortly as I needed to complete my second dream task - partial transformation. I looked in my reflection in the window and saw my skin become more tan and my eyes turn green. Satisfied with that, I needed to complete my third task - teleporting.

However, my dream boyfriend wanted to chat to me and came up to me with some eggs. He started asking me if I knew that his ex cheated on him and I launched into this very deep speech about how you trust someone with no exceptions until they do something then you never trust them with no exceptions. Satisfied, he let me attempt to teleport. I held his hand for moral support and asked him to help me. He was confused but supportive. I affirmed I'd teleport to the void, and I did enter darkness, but really it was just me waking up and seeing the blackness behind my closed eyes.

Image (I was happier than this in the dream but chat gpt is not being cooperative today):

I'm at a small airport in some kind of tropical place. I'm leaving to go back home and trying to find the correct gate for my flight. Everything is fixed, that is, each gate is set permanently for where a flight is going to and have the city names printed on placards above each one. The airport is also divided into different sections for different airlines. I walk to the section where I came from but it's not the correct place for me now since I have a layover somewhere else going home.

All right, here we go. Only non-lucids, I fear.

1. This squirrel would hang out with us. Some sort of magical enchantment or technology had caused him to be able to talk with us. He talked and pretended to not be able to around strangers. He would also steal your sweets as you were eating them.

Now, if another animal was reported to be able to talk, he would be extremely skeptical about this. Like nope, I'm the only talking animal around here.

2. Hypnagogic imagery. After waking up in the middle of the night and starting to fall back asleep, my brain repeating the following phrase: "We don't need to have the perfect family to talk. We just need a pair of tongs." It was accompanied by the sound of someone clicking tongs together.

Oddly ominous. Or maybe I was just hungry for BBQ.

3. Illegible/gibberish. I fear I'm not gonna be able to count that.

4. Illegible/gibberish. What happens is sometimes when I am really tired waking up at night I think "no I must record!" and so I do but I fall asleep and my hand keeps writing gibberish. Well, it was worth a shot.

Recalled 3 dreams last night!

Dream one
I was in my apartment and one guy had also moved in because it was somehow legal for other people to buy part of your house without your permission and move in. I was angry that I had to be around someone constantly because my place is small, and I had to be super clean and do all the chores immediately to not get judged. I didn't even talk to him I was so mad. People were staring at me from the balcony across my place. Eventually we started chatting and became friends. It turned out he was a lyricist for Katy Perry lmao.

Dream 2
Again my apartment. I was listening to a track and made fun of it for sounding like it was made in Garageband. Then my cat spilled ketchup everywhere and scared me.

Dream 3
Some crazy man abducted me in my own apartment with his cat (which turned out to be my own cat) and told me we can only leave if we use a method of "spirulization" which involved using cones and spirals. I made my two cats a cone to drink water out of. We somehow manage to leave with a bunch of other people but he says he'll shoot us if we call the police or my dream boyfriend. It also turns out said dream boyfriend was a real estate social media influencer.

Dream fragment
I was going through people's instagrams from my old school and saw a post from 2016 even though it would've been 2011 at the time and it was of a song someone made in Spanish class.

-

All these dreams set in my apartment and I still didn't sus out I was dreaming!

Fragment 1 (0.5):

There is a cake, or a pie. Lots of whipped cream on it. People are getting pied in the face.

Fragment 2 (0.5):


My grandfather's oxygen tanks. He has been tired lately, and I see that his oxygen is not hooked up. I think maybe that's why he has been so tired.

Dream 1: Airport mall (1 point)

I’m with some people, in a sort of mall-like place. We stop somewhere, and I see that nearby is a kiosk where some people from India or another part of Asia have been taking pictures and filming things to put online. I think they are somewhat popular on the internet. I want to go over and look more closely, but there are clear plastic sheets hanging from the ceiling as a sort of partition. There are low openings in the partition, that I could duck through. I make it to the other side, seeing that there are other people there. Then I get the idea that I’m not supposed to be there. It’s like an air force base, or an airport on the other side of security. I try to find a way back to where I was without getting in trouble. I succeed in this, by going through a door nearby (which might lead into a coffee shop).

4/17/25 (17.5 points)

Fragment 1: Worms (0.5 point)

There are some large worms somewhere. I’m standing there, seeing them.

Dream 1: Christmas and the First of the 3-Step Tasks (Lucid) [17 points]


I stop in to a store. They sell a variety of items there, and I like to visit them around Christmas. I tell them so, and it seems that I have been stopping there quite frequently. I think I leave this store, and start going somewhere. I might be following some people in cars, or something. We go down towards maybe a restaurant, and are either looking for a place to park or are trying to follow a road that goes this way. It seems kind of difficult to get through. I think I turn around at some point, and find myself moving along straddling a screwdriver as though it were a flying broomstick. Remembering previous lucid dreams, I think perhaps I can fly on this. At this point I realize that I have been assuming that I am dreaming, somehow becoming spontaneously lucid without realizing it, I guess [+ 10 points]. I think about the competition, and whether or not I should fly. I think instead I should focus on the 3-step task. My first step was to “interact with a DC”. I reach out and grab some nearby woman by the shoulder and say something like “hey, how’s it going?” She turns around [+2 points for interaction, +5 points for first of 3-step task], but then I start to lose the dream (or think I’m losing it anyway).

4/18/25 (18 points)

Dream 1: Miller Hall (1 point)

Walking along a college campus from a school I went to. I come across a building that in waking life was torn down several years ago. Apparently, they haven’t torn it down yet, and are letting people take things from the building. I go inside, mostly to see the place where I had some of my first classes as a Freshman. They seem to have changed it around a little, with the classrooms opening into the main hallway area, which is pretty wide. The hallway area has pew-like benches lined up for people to sit in. I go to a room to my right, I think (where, years ago, they were giving away a lot of geologic specimens). There are a bunch of wood and glass cases – small, maybe two or three times the size of a cigar box, and opening from the top. People are carrying these out. I ask what they are doing with them, and they say they will just throw them away if nobody takes them. These look like antiques to me, and are nice looking anyway. Some of them have old books in them. I am told we can take whatever we want from the building. I think that it will be fun to “loot” the building.

Dream 2: Water (1 point)

I go down to the basement of one of the houses I used to live in. There is water coming out of a kind of pillar. I think that this might somehow be related to God, maybe. Something about an apostle in the New Testament being washed, and this is the kind of water one could be washed in. I get the feeling that one could be made holy by this water. I start splashing myself with it, and then stand under it. But then it seems that this might just have been a shower installed in the basement. My Dad is around somewhere.

Fragment 1: Hospital Visit (0.5 point)

My grandfather is in the hospital. Family is going to visit him. I can see them – my aunt, I think, and a bunch of kids – on a digital picture frame or something.

Dream 3: Snake on a leash (1 point)

Some kind of class. We go out to do things in a large valley/drained lake. They don’t want us to get too far away, but they don’t mind if students are being carried by large birds. I have one of these large birds, but as I go it becomes a snake. The snake goes pretty fast, and seems to glide sometimes. We go along the hillside and I think this might lead into another dream scene in which I’m supposed to be photographing a woman in different locations. She goes down into a sort of pool of water, and I’m supposed to stand on a hill or balcony above her and take pictures. I’m having difficulty adjusting the camera so that it will photograph her, and I get the idea that I’m not supposed to change the setup of the camera. I move closer to the edge and try to angle the camera down, but then some sort of dignitary shows up. I think there are a bunch of people too, and they all block my view. Eventually, I go down to where the woman is, making my way through a sort of gym to get there. I set up the camera there. This seems to be a really sketchy photo/film studio. People appear to be filming pornographic scenes around us. We carry on as though this is normal.

Dream 4: Climbing (1 point)

Trudging through mud, speculating on how they must make boots that enable people to walk through deep mud, since people apparently have done it. I get to the base of a steep hill/cliff, and start climbing up. Someone is dumping old cars down the hillside that I have to avoid. He seems skeptical that it is possible for someone to climb up the hill. I have a path figured out though, and when he isn’t dumping vehicles down the hill I make my way up. This appears to have been near where the Lord Jesus was crucified. The guy dumping vehicles thinks maybe that’s how He “got away”. I point out that it would be pretty difficult to take oneself off of a cross and then climb up a mountainside. Not only that, there was a crowd watching, and it seems like someone would have noticed.

Fragment 2: Lucidlet [10 points]

Walking down a hill. Something makes me think I should do a RC, and I try to count my fingers. Sure enough, I get 7 or so on my left hand. I think I become lucid here, but the dream seems to end soon after.

Fragment 3: Painting (0.5 point)

A guy with a large painting on his wall. It’s pretty nice. He himself is an artist, but he didn’t paint this. He does modify it, however. It is a painting of a large Arabic-style door. He paints another door behind it, and himself in between the doors. But the painting of himself is somewhat cartoonish. Then he makes some more alterations, and the door now looks out into a cyberpunk nightscape.

Dream 4: 20’s party (1 point)

I’m doing archaeology in a town. I find a structure, and start flagging it out.

I have obtained an invitation to a party. The invitation appears to be something like three envelopes inside a bag or a larger envelope. This gives me admittance into a party in someone’s house. The party seems to be 1920s themed, and they have a record and record player with 20s jazz music. People are dressed in 20’s attire. I go inside, but I seem to be a little early. This might give me an opportunity to trim my facial hair, so I find a bathroom nearby. There is someone else in there shaving. I find a mirror and start shaving as well. My face has a lot of beard stubble, and as I look closer it seems that I also have daffodils growing out of my face. But when I look again I mostly just look like I have some beard stubble.

Dream 5: Thrift Store Meeting (1 point)

Walking through a thrift store near where my grandmother lives. I decide to go check out the bargain section, and then head to another section. I think I’m looking for games. On the way, I see the headmaster from my old high school. I don’t know if he recognizes me, and I kind of awkwardly try to avoid him while wondering if I should get his attention. Then I hear my brother, and realize that they are together. We end up meeting. The headmaster seems to be carrying fragments of a broken mug. We get to talking, and he seems to want to direct me to a job opportunity. But it’s not a temporary job, he says. The job has to do with a married couple in the Philippines. They might want a married couple to hire, actually. My mother shows up, and we aren’t sure if the headmaster is trying to fix me up with a girl from the Philippines with this job opportunity. I’m looking at pictures of this, and there are other pictures. I think I’m hoping my mother won’t think I’m just looking at women on a dating site.

Fragment 4: Gas (0.5 point)

A man and a woman were sharing a bed (not sure they were a couple, they were just in the bed). The woman is sitting on the edge of the bed, and the
man has just woken up. Apparently he has passed gas, and it was so bad that he woke himself up and drove the woman out of bed.

Fragment 5: Spaceship (0.5 point)

Something about a spaceship. It might be under attack. I think it’s a video game, and I leave it for a while and then come back to find that the ship is OK. It had been going really fast – way too fast, I guess.

Dream:
I'm on the back of a motorcycle, Ruben is driving. At some point a turn doesn't work out and we glide farrr. Ruben ends up getting electrocuted by some pole he falls at and pisses on himself???? to stop the electrocution?? I kinda try to get him away from there without touching him. Later Im at my dorm but I have a balcony now there's a party right next door I talk with those people I know some from uni. And a friend of mine is down on the street talking to them from there.

Frag:
Something about a party going to happen in my house. There's this girl for some reason I seem acquainted with.

Jamie drive by? I scored a 2060 super off market place. Unfortunately I had to drive to bearspaw to get it. But for 140? Total steal. After I got home I drove around the block to see if the Punjabi restaurant was open. I was craving some butter chicken but it was closed. So I went home. As I shut off the car I noticed a black SUV came around the corner and some dark hair. I got out immediately to see if it was Jamie. The woman looked at me but gave no visible reaction. The Jamie voice said, " that looks kind of like me." I noticed the bangs were gone. The vehicle almost seemed to slow down for a second and then sped off. The Jamie voice said. " That was close.". Then later seemed to admit that it was her. Still not sure what to believe. If it was her let's go through my checklist. Could be clearly seen, ✅. Was intentional about at least being comfortable around being near me, ✅. I think that's it. Also I'm staying home this week to catch up on taxes.

Jordan

I saw Jordan the McDonald's franchise owner from coaldale. He was talking to me and my dad and then drove off. My dad mentioned that Jordan seemed religious. I said yes I know his family attend church.


Jamie 1

Sex dream. Not giving details. Nice view!

Jamie 2

Just that I was walking with her in a poorly lit hallway.

Nothing else to recall. Short but sweet.

LAME, only three fragments!

Oh well, some recall is always better than none!

1. I was at Disney World again, but I can't remember anything about it.
2. I was selecting a hotel from a list (Thanks, San Diego Comic Con hotel selection process, for entering my nightmares. )
3. And finally, all of my social media accounts had been either cropped or hacked (I can't read my half-asleep handwriting) as a sabotage attempt.

Hmm. What if it was both, and someone hacked into all of my accounts simply to crop all of my pictures? :O

Meditated while trying to WILD but it often just keeps me awake. Second false awakening since the comp began (still didn't catch it) :

(Fragment)

Me and three of my nephews in a house

Team WBTB



*false awakening* In my bed, I'm writting the dreams of me and a teammate of this spring comp (he's online in the notes app), I want us to go back to sleep for WBTB

Together, Y and I emerge from what seems to be a metro station. We are in the Netherlands – apparently, because this is the only place where I am going to be able to have a fully fledged music career. I know this somehow. She seems to be the one taking the lead, though.

I’m going to enroll in a university here, and it seems as if the staircase leads directly into one of the buildings. I examine my surroundings – white tiled walls with mosaic patterns as the staircase ends, leading into a hallway. This building is where art classes are held. The two of us walk into a large studio classroom that’s filling up with students as if the class is about to begin. She takes a seat, and I take one next to her. After a few minutes, the professor begins speaking – English seems to be the language of instruction here – and students go to a series of large wooden bins along one wall, pulling out various kinds of bones. They take the bones back to the tables and begin to sketch them. I go over, grab what looks like it might be a vertebra, and also begin to draw.

Later, a lot of time seems to have passed – maybe a year. I’m checking an electronic billboard in a campus building.

13.4.25


The dream started as a sort of school/workplace dream, I think, but shifted at some point to a setting like an abandoned barn. I’m here with a man who seems familiar, as if maybe he’s based on people I actually know, and we’re talking. A black cat with a red collar that I recognize as L is also here: he comes over to sit next to me, and I pet him.

Planes are passing by overhead. I can see them through a hole in the roof – too close, it seems to me, and very loud. I don’t like it. I don’t like the look of the sky, either. It’s too dark for this time of day. A storm is brewing.

The wind picks up, and keeps picking up. I can feel the building beginning to be pulled up into the air. So it is here, about to upend my life the way it has so many others. I’m not afraid. I knew it would only be a matter of time. I just have to stay calm and focused.

I am up in the air now, which is full of debris spun by the winds in the strange light of the storm. As I’m blown by the winds, I let the world spin, as if I’m the point of stability, and it’s only everything else that’s moving around relative to me.

Unsurprisingly, this level of focus is pulling me into latent lucidity. I am flying now, making a beeline for the source of all this trouble. I don’t know how exactly to describe it – it must be a bit like it would be for a dog or something following a scent trail, but more abstract than that – some kind of recognizable trace left behind in the mindscape, becoming stronger as I approach.

I land in a neighborhood – not an especially nice one. Small, prefabricated houses jumbled too close together, a few completely inadequate attempts at greenery. Barely a step above a trailer park, really. It is now late out. I walk to the house the trail leads to, stepping straight through the door. I’ve never been here before, but I can see it all in my mind. The trace leads into a sort of narrow office past the kitchen – a closed-off, unpleasant, musty, crawly kind of mental signature that the whole place figuratively reeks of. It’s strongest around the computer, which has a big, boxy kind of monitor of a sort that probably went extinct years ago.

But in the kitchen, I run into A and C, an older couple I’ve known for a number of years. This is their house. Suddenly, it’s as if the scenario not only is different, but has been different the entire time. I have come here to warn them about what is going to happen. And so the question of what exactly would have happened to that computer will forever remain a mystery....

Marble stairs in Paris (fragment)

With one of my brothers in an appartment *forgot what happened*, then I'm in Paris, on top of giant white marble stairs, lots of people are sitting on the steps, I find a spot near the edge next to a group of travelers

Violent glitched waves



A place where dreamers can meet and embody other dreamers to increase their chances of lucid dreaming. *false awakening* I write down my embodied "dreams" a bit like this :
•*Dream*
.*Something*
•*Dream*
.*Something*
•*Dream*
.*Something*
•*Dream*
.*Something*

Then I go back to "sleep" : I'm walking outside, following the road in a forest, then there's mostly a concrete road and less nature. I'm heading towards a specific place. On the way, a grandma with pink lipstick and yellow dye painted all over her skin is making zombie or Frankenstein noises and mannerisms in a car with no rooftop and she has an automatic hairdressing machine on her head. But I know this is normal in this place. I've arrived at my destination.

I see the beach, with high waves frozen in time, which I try to unfreeze using telekinesis : the waves start moving again every few seconds, like It's glitching. The sea is very rough, the tides are getting closer to me quickly and without stopping. I take off one sock to not wet it but I don't have time to take off the other one when the waves become more and more violent.

The waves are so violent that I have to run, trying not to get my remaining sock wet. Then there's one of my sisters and some other people. She explains to us how to deal with the incoming waves : we have to stay behind the large wall/block of ice, and jump when the water comes in. We do it and the water is cold because of the ice.

On Night 1 I couldn't fall asleep until like 1am and had to wake up early, so I only remember one short dream:

Apology poem



I'm at my parents house in the dining room with some family (mostly nephews), then the scene cuts to a prisonner that made a really long apology letter, like a full book, written in rhymes like a poem, directed to the judge, which convinced him to release the prisonner. Now this letter/poem is taught in schools.

Evening:

Nap Fragment:
Someone was going to become a weed dealer, something about having 700 fake living locations to be safe.

Nap Fragment:
Something about me becoming a server at some cafe/restaurant.

Night:

Dream:
Something about doing someone figuring out and doing wild in the middle of the day without sleeping while being awake making interesting neon streaks visuals and allowing them to walk up walls, etc.

Frag:
Robot transformation selling people. Theyre like little robot faces that allow you to turn into a robot. Something about cognitive functions deteriorating after some years though

Frag :
Going to ni hao (Chinese restaurant) on thursday even tho its closed then.

Dream:
Some VR things I reallly want to do but I'm late for school, I pick and transform into Sejuani to be faster, do some sailing on a raft, then climbing some mountains, It's a fake school beacon... Im also a dad of 3 kids? and there's something mental about them in that world? And I'm in last year highschool while also in my masters uni? Im going to be late for a Dutch class with some stupid assignment.

I’m in some horror game set up where I’m driven to a house and need to walk up the stairs to some door. Then, I need to open the door, see if the horror entity is there, and if he is, run immediately to “win”. I tried this a few times, opening the door a couple times to be met by a white boney hand holding the door I was trying to reclose, open and running down the stairs (don’t know why these instances didn’t count but ok). I decided I’d try and catch this thing off guard cuz it apparently had a visitation pattern and I could catch it when I expected to. So I jumped up and started tracking where the thing was supposed to be as I flew through the air. My flying style was a lot like Jet’s from MHA at first (bursts of air through my feet), but I realized that I could hover and control my flight much better than I thought I could. It was nighttime in a city I don’t actively recognize, so passing over the city illuminated by the bright signs and street lights was a nice sight to take in. As I continued tracking the creature, I saw that I overshot it and turned around to redirect myself. Then I saw a number at the bottom left of my vision saying “wall climb boosts left:” with a number (most likely cuz I’ve been playing parkour a lot recently). I figured this was the amount of flight boosts I had left, so I decided to make a soft landing on rocky formation covered in snow, right in the middle of the waters I was currently flying over. I waited for my WCBs to recharge, all while making sure not to slip and fall into the icy water since it was apparently cold here. After a bit, I shot back into the air, looking for the creature*once*more.

DREAM 1

I was rich in the dream and I was trying to get somewhere, I feel like it was New York and I needed to get there urgently but I kept getting delayed. I didnt care if it was by flight or train. I can’t remember why I needed to go, but I have a feeling it had something to do with my mom and something to do with my ex boyfriend Joey. There was also a scene in the dream where Joey was running through a dark wet field along a fence seemingly trapped inside due to the lightning and not wanting to touch the fence. All his friends were on the other side panicking but he ran through the fence and came out the other side unharmed.


DREAM 2

My mom was feeling very sick and was sitting outside in her car. I was worried about her dying out in her car and when I heard a long continuous beeping outside I worried that my worst fear had come true and that she had passed out and her head hit the horn. I ran out there and she was fine the honking had come from somewhere else but she was still feeling sick so I helped her back inside. My little sister was there inside in the kitchen and I was offering my mom some of my clothes to wear, she could have her pick and she picked either a blue or pink maxi dress idr which one she picked I thought it was pink but the next time I looked at her she was wearing the blue one and I told her she looked like a princess. I asked her if she was hungry and she nodded enthusiastically yes and then daya was hungry too and I got stressed bc I had no idea what to make on a whim late at night. Then ofc Daya wanted to wear something of mine too and I was rooting through my dresses for her when I woke up

DREAM 3

There was a popular fantasy adventure book series in this dream universe and the dream would switch from me reading it, to hearing about it to living in it from 3rd person at times and first person at times. It was about this guy who is going on a journey alongside others but he even though others are on the same journey, they can stick together and this guy has to be isolated, alone without help. In the dream I remembered hearing 2 people talking about the book and how its tragic to have to watch him go through the journey alone and you just feel so bad for him, but like halfway through the series you finally understand why he needed to do it alone. All of a sudden I’m now in the book first person although I know without seeing myself that I’m him and not irl me. I’m at the beginning, before he even knows what’s going on and I’m in “my” house but it didn’t actually look like mine irl I just knew it was supposed to be. My (real ) mom and sister are upstairs and I’m trying to whisper yell to my sister Daya to plot because I was suspicious of my mom, I had a feeling she was the villain and that she would turn on me any second and I’d have to run. So I was scrambling on the ground floor trying to pull on a dirty shirt and force my feet into my 11 year old sisters shoes just to have shoes bc I knew I’d have to run and couldnt go upstairs where my mom was. Then my mom and my sister come downstairs and Daya is cozied up to our mom and I realize for the first time that I’m on my own. I thought I had her on my side and we’d run together but I’m realizing I’m going to be running alone. And then fast forward to later there was another situation with 2 men this time that im talking to, they’re friends who are going through the journey too but I’m still on my own I can’t join forces with anyone else and theres no way to cheat. Then I was back out of the story and reading it again as a book. I was scrolling on YouTube to find reading ambience and I saw a video that at first was a reading ambience of the book but then it turned into being a short clip of episode 8 and someone saw me looking and said it’s the only released episode. The AI image attached is a visual of dream #3.
