I had to get up early this morning to give my dad his birthday present before he left for work. After he left, I went back to bed, fairly confident I was going to get lucid. I tried a new WILD technique/anchor thing, counting my heartbeats as I was falling asleep.

I suddenly find myself floating a few feet off my bed. Well that was quick. I rolled over and touched down next to my bed. It’d been awhile since my last good lucid, so I really wanted to talk to Vi. My attempts to summon her in the past never really worked, but someone in chat the other day suggested calling her on the phone to summon her. I grab my phone off the nightstand and put it up to my ear.

“Hey Vi, you there?”
“Yeah, what’s up?”
“Um… Where are you right now?”
“...In a place, why?”
“Well I’m finally lucid, I wanted to hang out or something…”
“Oh, well I’m kind of busy.”
“With what? I’m dreaming, you can’t be doing something else…”
There’s silence on the other end.
“Vi, you still there?”
Still no response. Great, she hung up on me. I put down the phone to redial, but I wake up first.

I lay in my bed motionless for a while, hoping to DEILD back into the dream. However, I hear a ton of noise as my dad comes up the stairs. He barges into my room, saying something about how he forgot something before heading to work. He says he didn’t mean to bother me, yet he keeps talking until I finally get up. I’m now wide awake, but suddenly, I realize that I can feel my sleep mask on my face, but I can’t see it, like it’s not even there. I do a quick nose plug, and find out I’m still dreaming. Good, I’m glad you’re not actually that stupid, dad. I push him out of my bedroom and close the door.

I run back over to my bed and phase through the window to the small section of roof outside my bedroom. It’s raining pretty hard, which is weird, since I don’t ever remember any rain in my dreams typically. I try to do some more firebending like I did in my last dream, but the rain makes it incredibly difficult. I’m able to generate some flames from my hands, but they aren’t very strong at all. I fly back inside and (falsely) remember that one of the Tasks of the Month is to lay down in bed and have a WILD within the dream (only a month late on that one). I lay down in my bed and quickly transition into a new dream.



I’m at a large mansion in the country, at this fairly large party. I for some reason know that this party is a public hangout for all the users of imgur, a photo-sharing website that I frequent quite a bit. Unfortunately, it looks like there’s not a lot of people at this party, and the ones that are there are a little too nerdy for my tastes - most of them are wearing fedoras and talking about D&D or something similar (nothing wrong with that stuff, just not something I’m interested in). I’m seriously considering leaving this fairly lame party, but then I spot a beautiful sight on one of their plates.



Frosted animal crackers, my lunchbox-favorite snack back in elementary school. Plus, these ones look homemade. Maybe I’ll stick around just a little longer, just to get some of those delicious cookies. I wander inside in search of these cookies, and find a large spread of food out in the living room of the house. I turn around to find Sarah (the founder of imgur and kind of a celebrity on the site) sitting in a chair behind me. I’m a little embarrassed. “I was just grabbing some food for the road, I gotta get going. Thanks for this party, it’s been fun.” I hide a little smirk as the lie passes my lips.
“Glad you liked it. Feel free to stop by if you’re ever in California again.”
“I will.” ...probably not.

I grab a plate full of frosted animal crackers, and head out the door, regaining a slight bit of lucidity. Outside I see a guy and a girl from my class in high school, who are apparently in a relationship. They both get in the guy’s convertible. I decide to show off a little bit, so I crouch down and then launch myself into the sky before flying off. I turn back to look at their expressions, they seem unimpressed. I fly back down and drop the animal crackers into their car. One of them hits the guy in the head, and he turns around and shakes his fist at me. I laugh and fly into the clouds. It feels so freeing, just being so high and looking down. I continue to watch as the clouds cover my view of the ground, and the dream destabilizes.

I find myself now in a game of Minecraft, digging underground searching for a secret building. I see this long passageway through the rocks, and start to head down that way. I pull out a flashlight just in time to see a Minecraft-looking 8-bit version of Venom from Spiderman charging at me from the darkness.



I turn around and break into a sprint to escape, but Venom lets out a horrifying shriek that sends chills down my spine. I run faster, but soon find myself at a dead end. This can’t be right, did I take a wrong turn? Venom inches closer, ready to attack. It lets out one more shriek, and this time I let out my own scream equal in pitch and volume. I charge towards the beast, and deliver a blow to its face. It stumbles back, stops for a few seconds, and then charges again. I keep fighting, pushing it back more and more each time. I finally see a passageway off to my right and take off towards it. I reach a large opening, so I quickly turn around a place blocks to fill the passage. Finally safe, I take a deep breath and regain my composure before finally waking up.
