    Fantastical Adventures

    You can expect to find Time Travel, Game Elements, and Pony, among other things.

    Definitions. I use a 5-Layer system for classifying levels of lucidity without mentioning control. Each Layer has two optional variants, "Minor" and "Major", where one variant isn't necessarily better or worse than another.
    Layer 0 - The dream gives hints that you may be dreaming.

    Minor - You dream about lucid dreaming subject matter, usually in the form of conversation, text, themes, etc.
    Major - Something may not feel quite right in this level. There may be a sense that there are no consequences to your actions, or that you can stop the experience at any time.
    Layer 1 - You realize you're dreaming, but you are barely lucid. This isn't limited by time. Layer 1s can still last very long, just like any other layer.
    Minor - You wake yourself up within seconds.
    Major - You lose lucidity within seconds either by distraction or false awakening.
    Layer 2 - You realize you're dreaming, but complete understanding of the situation does not properly sink in. Not caring enough to continue may occur.
    Minor - Dream characters are unaware of the dreamstate.
    Major - Dream characters are lucid.
    Layer 3 - The full implications of the situation are understood. You are aware of what DCs are.
    Minor - Dream characters are unaware of the dreamstate.
    Major - Dream characters are lucid.
    Layer 4 - The full implications of the situation are understood, and you have full waking consciousness. Memory and logic function properly.
    Minor - Dream characters are unaware of the dreamstate.
    Major - Dream characters are lucid.

    Abbreviations: Layer X = LX. Variations are like this: Layer X Minor = "LX-", and Layer X Major = "LX+".

    Procedure - A routine I use to increase lucidity.
    Initialization - Stabilization at the beginning of the Plan
    Plan - A routine I use to reach Layer 4 and solidify the environment.

    -1-, -2-, -x-. - Indicates the start of a new dream.
    [New Scene] - Indicates the start of a new scene from the same dream.

    1. (L) L2- | Home, Numbers

      by , 04-24-2017 at 01:20 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      If you think vacations were bad, try having a cold AND being on vacation. Despite all this, I became lucid.
      -I became lucid inside my bedroom and started my routine. However, I got distracted by numbers in the background. How lame.
      Time: 30-40 seconds

      -2-In Minecraft, I killed somebody disguised as a skeleton. (Disguise was irrelevant.) After I killed him with one heart left, I took off south because I remembered he would respawn nearby. On my way, I instamined a dirt tunnel, passed a partially-walled base, and got hit by skeleton guards.

      The walls around these outdoorsy bases used pistons as decorative blocks on the top--it looked okay.

      When I stopped running away, I told the guy about my bunch of enchanted golden apples(32), which left him speechless.

    2. Girl, Portal, Tomatoes, Asuss Power, Minecraft, Run

      by , 04-23-2017 at 04:28 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      -1-here was this girl that walked in place at night for some reason, which prevented the escape of some characters. Trying to reason with her was futile. I opened portals for easy travel to her parents, which signed up for all the things. These things would reveal the girl's location if she came within range of one of them. Reasoning with her was impossible.
      [New Scene]
      I was sitting at a wood table eating salad with lettuce, cheese blocks, and...tomatoes? I hate tomatoes. Why didn't I become lucid then?
      -2-A cool antagonist I forgot about had a source of something called Asuss Power. The source looked remarkably like a Minecraft Wither Skeleton Skull. I took it and ran into the ocean, then insta-mining my way down and away. I was getting chased by another antagonist unsuccessfully.

    3. Something?

      by , 04-22-2017 at 12:15 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      This guy from Chicago just showed up at a wedding he wasn't invited to, and he didn't know anybody there. He walked over to the dance floor and passed out. Suddenly, it turned into a YouTube video. One of the comments was, "Should have said Never giving up, Livin on a prayer"

    4. Hidden Attic, Dark Steel Boots, Glider, Paris

      by , 04-21-2017 at 02:57 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      -1-In a high-tech building, I opened an attic door that had nothing special in it. Then, I discovered a hidden door that led to a secret room in the attic. Everything was old and dusty, and looked to be around 200 years old. Also, fitting National Treasure music played in the background. After I left the attic, Riley from National Treasure showed up at the front door. He said, "Are you kidding me?" And ran inside. Next, I found myself entering a room near the attic with the help of Riley's hacking skills.

      -2-I was at the top of a skyscraper in Paris. I checked the charge of my Dark Steel Boots. They were nearly depleted. (They completely negate fall damage when powered.) Because of this, I readied the command to toggle the glider function on my Dark Steel Chestplate. I then jumped off the top of the building, and shook my phone to open the glider about 10 stories from the ground.

      -2 scenes were lost.
    5. Paralyzing Destabilization

      by , 04-20-2017 at 04:17 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      -I was in my old house with a backpack and headphones on. I had to put on a bunch of extra clothes, and then take off the backpack and headphones. It was annoying. Suddenly, I was back in my current house, about to leave on a trip at night. We turned all the lights off. Next, I went downstairs and clapped once very loudly, which indicated my need to escape for some reason. Then, the dream destabilized and it paralyzed me, which is the most annoying conclusion to a dream or sorry excuse of a "nightmare."

      -At least 2 other scenes were lost because I'm not at home.

    6. Floating Gunpowder

      by , 04-19-2017 at 01:03 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      -Mumbo Jumbo placed gunpowder in the air to simulate a buckshot from a shotgun. Then, to surprise another player, he lit off TNT from the center of it all. TNT had a new sound effect that sounded more like TARDIS lightning.

      -I estimate about 4 other dream scenes were lost because vacations suck for dream journaling. This is why I don't like traveling that much.

    7. 4/18/17 (L) DILD L2 | Car Chase, Pizza Stalls

      by , 04-18-2017 at 01:56 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      In this scenario, I had to chase bad guys in a car or bike. They had a car. I retried the same mission multiple times, but I could never catch them. I always lost at the same place--a section of freeway that caused my tires to slide. It was daytime, btw. The chase started at night, shortly after they left a store. One o them said, "He tracked us all the way back. How'd he do that?" after finding out a couple things on their laptop. My younger sister was with me too, both in the car whenever I was in the car, and next to me whenever it was a video game.
      [New Scene]
      I became lucid in a carpeted room with stalls that spawned and dropped pizza. For some reason, I felt that I couldn't finish my routine until at least half the pizza had dropped on the floor. Stupid. Also delicious.
      Time: 20-30 seconds

    8. 4/17/17 | Concrete, Pokemon, Rainbow Dash

      by , 04-17-2017 at 03:22 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      Conditions: Sunny, Calm, Late Afternoon
      I was outside in a rectangular concrete area surrounded by woods. In the center was a big screen of stretched around a giant cube. On the outside edges of the concrete area were rooms that I never saw the inside of. The mane 6 were trying to enter the east room before the Pokemon theme song played. I tried to sing along, but I didn’t remember even half the words, which meant I was gonna get beat up at the end of it. During the song, I snuck up behind the group to smell Rainbow Dash’s mane for some reason. However, she noticed me and instantly flew off at high speed before I could get a whiff. Also, whenever I put my fist forward in time with the music, I would be launched in that direction, and then I would slowly float down. By the end of the Pokemon theme, the scenario changed before anyone had the opportunity to beat me up.
      Now, the concrete area was flat, and made of Minecraft blocks(Railcraft’s concrete blocks). Nothing special happened here, or in the woods.

    9. 4/16/17 (L) DILD L2- | Crowd, Running, Minecraft, Wormhole

      by , 04-16-2017 at 02:34 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      -1(L)-I did a nose plug RC, then became lucid. This was near a large, church-like school building surrounded by standard fence. There were a ton of DCs around, so I ran out through the open gate into the field to avoid distracting elements. While I ran, I started my routine. However, despite my efforts, DCs spawned in the field too and tried to talk to me. I eventually forgot I was dreaming. I think I was trying too hard to shun every character away without think about my situation. Since the focus was on characters, I eventually lost lucidity.

      Then, a storylike emerged about Doctor Who and the same building from earlier, except now it was old and abandoned. I had to sprint back to the building from where I was in the field, so that I wouldn’t get taken over by a skydiving alien. It was hard to run normally, so I had to pull on the grass to increase my speed. (this has happened at least a hundred times. I’m not sure why it hasn’t clicked.) I don’t remember what my task was inside this building.

      -2-I was watching Mumbo Jumbo play some Hermitcraft—he had taken on a challenge to build a vertical base entirely contained in a 10w x 256h x 10l volume. Not a bad idea, actually.
      -3-I was on a Federation starship inside a hallway or sorts; there was a room-spanning window with controls all along it. Grant Imahara was at a control panel, talking about a rare wormhole in front of the ship. I replied,
      “Oh sure wormholes are rare in Star Trek.” Something happened to him after I said that. Maybe he fell into the wormhole.
      Time: 1-2 minutes

    10. 4/15/17 (L) DILD L2- | Day9, Theater

      by , 04-15-2017 at 03:17 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      -1-An alien was in the form of Day9. He had to leave for something, so he tried to push the truck (named Herman irl) for some reason. He wasn’t aware of a parking brake. A minute later, we never saw him again. He was late for something important, I think. This took place at my grandparents’ house.
      -2(L)-I don’t remember much here. I did a nose-plug RC a few times over different times, and I watched a video in a theater filled with people. Not a real theater, more like a large room with chairs and a stage with a screen. Distractions were rampant this time, leading to nowhere.
      Lucid Time: 3-6 minutes

    11. 4/8/17 | Planes

      by , 04-08-2017 at 04:02 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      There was a pile of stuff on some grass. There was also a group of people with that got changed into characters. I got changed into the 11th Doctor, so I looked for my sonic screwdriver. I scanned things when I found it, including both plane-like vehicles swooping down from the sky. The first was a red one, and the second was a blue one with a huge sphere in front.
      [New Scene]
      I was playing BotW, and I just got a quest that led to a big dungeon.
      [New Scene]
      Only a selection of people could smell or see a set of objects, including a specific gun and a cheeseburger.

    12. 4/7/17 (L)x3 DILDx3 L2-,L2-,L2- | Car, Grass, Road, Bus, Explosives

      by , 04-07-2017 at 04:02 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      I don’t remember what happened in the first LD, but it lasted about 5 minutes. I know I lost lucidity due to being distracted.

      Second lucid: I spawned in a bus, got out, did part of the procedure, but didn’t do the stabilization half, or break through, so I remained at Layer 2. I did spawn a flat, 2D animated Princess Luna behind some barrels, but the product was half-assed due to being in Layer 2. I could not interact with her when I tried. Next, I got distracted by the bus and DCs. Around me was a curved, 2-lane road surrounded by field, which was surrounded by woods a few hundred feet out. (The trees were on the shorter side, and were deciduous.)
      Time: 1-3 minutes

      Third lucid: I did half of the procedure again due to distraction. I stopped a lot of the stuff going on at the beginning with a verbal command inside a church, but there were still a few left. I did not focus on the procedure enough to break through to Layer 3. I got distracted by a car that needed to be pushed. This car was on grass behind the church building. There was tall grass and scattered deciduous trees around. The weather was sunny.

      Later, I was at very low lucidity, inside a car that was strapped with explosives. I was trying to ditch the car safely, so that nothing else would be damaged.
      Time: 5-7 minutes
      Total Time: 11-16 minutes


      Distractions: 3

    13. 1/26/17 | Mint-Green OC

      by , 01-27-2017 at 03:55 AM (Fantastical Adventures)
      I had a mint-green OC that had a striking resemblance to Lyra, but taller and slimmer. Later, I was in a small town with a sad old lady and 2 cats, one of which was the size of a lab. This town was on a steep hill, with a waterfront at the bottom.

    14. 1/25/17 (L)x3 DILDx3 | Radiation, Moon

      by , 01-26-2017 at 02:28 AM (Fantastical Adventures)
      This was close to containing 2 DEILDs(figured out how to do that again!), but there was a lapse in consciousness both times.
      -1-There was a guy demonstrating the function of the hiding compartment next to an item contaminated with radiation. It protected the user completely…in theory. However, it didn’t work, so the guy died. This was all inside a dark room of an abandoned, messy lab/facility. After he died, I became lucid. I did part of my routine, but forgot the second half of it, which was the stabilization portion.
      Time: 30-40 seconds
      -2-I was in an unknown house. My older sister was in an adjacent room, watching something on a TV. I noticed a package on a container. I opened it up, and it was a drill. Then, I tried turning on a light, but it didn’t work. My first thought was ‘power failure?’ and flipped a second broken switch. Then, I became lucid from an RC. I did the first half of the procedure then woke up again.
      Time: 20-30 seconds
      -3-Another light switch failure and a certain memory caused me to RC and become lucid once more. Here, a truck arrived at this version of the B.h. Also, I rose the sun back up when it set in the south. At the same time, the very large/close moon rose in the south with an incorrect light source direction. This time, I woke up right in the middle of my routine.
      Time: 30-50 seconds
      Total Lucid Time: 1min20sec – 2min

      btw, the routine I keep referring to is a lengthy one, increasing lucidity during the first half, and completely stabilizing in the second half. This has worked consistently for conventional DILDs. However, for WILDs/unstable dreams, I'll have to add in some stabilization time just prior to the routine.

    15. 1/24/17 (L)x2 | Rotating House, Ponies

      by , 01-24-2017 at 05:27 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      -1-I became lucid for no apparent reason. I did part of the standard procedure while trying to turn my right hand into a cartoony hoof. Then, I became Twilight Sparkle, and ‘galloped’ west. (still felt human tho. I hate that) I saw a pony very similar to me, (clone?) so I ran back east while carrying someone on my back. (I may have been carrying myself) After I returned to the spot where I started running west, I found Rainbow Dash standing around with nothing to do.

      The whole area was grassy and sunny, with rows of trees surrounding modern rural homes. I had passed one while I was running earlier.

      Lucid Time: 45-60 seconds
      -2-I climbed on a cliff, grabbed toxic vines, and ran up a road with some friends.
      -3-In this dream, I was navigating a house/building that constantly rotated around a horizontal axis. It was like the stage “Revolution” in Super Monkey Ball 2.
