Dream Logs DWN-12

Created Monday 04 June 2018

Got a fairly substantial WILD/DEILD loop to note. There were a bunch of other things I'm sure I've forgotten, even for parts of the LDs noted below.

Spoiler for It's quite a bit.:

Dream 1 - Meditation Meter

Numerous WILD/DEILD transitions in bed, each waking interlude between them about a minute to three minutes apart. Most of these were preceded by numerous bouts of REM Atonia/Hypnagogia, transitioning successfully into LDs via my rolling off the bed and into the void. In the first of such LDs, I sat crosslegged and meditated. I blurted intentions of doing so for a thousand years, though I was too anxious to go over a minute. Concurrently, this not only caused me to levitate, but also brought forth a counter in view, a grey score box with white text. In a later transition, I was "woken up" by a powerful storm, its gusts blasting the front door out of its hinges. As startling as it was to suddenly feel water droplets impacting me at cutting speeds, I ignored as much in favor of dreaming. Still, I didn't get much done besides walking around momentarily. Another LD had me willfully try invoking the Backyard while in the void, but no luck.

All in all, I could identify three LDs above, though I'm sure there were plenty of others. More detailed LDs occurred later.

Dream 2 - Mega Hag

Scene 1 - Cavern Chase
DEILD transition. The visuals started a bit dim and quite blurred, but clarified a bit over time. I was deep within a wide system of caverns, its brown stone surfaces visible via an unknown source of light. Hardly a few seconds passed before I was suddenly chased by a massive figure: a snarling ~40ft. tall hag, her dark hair and much of her bare grey skin both blatanly frizzled/pruned, as if she'd been living in a muddy lake all her life. Past her savagery (and murky smell), she actually had a decent looking face and figure. Still, I wasn't about to find out what she'd do if she got her hands on me. I rocketed backwards at about her pace, swerving and rolling past stalagmites and similar hazards, as well as her grasp. When the giantess got too close, I fired ki beams at her, though it didn't slow her down for long. On the contrary, this only made her tromp towards me more furiously, her face contorting into a hideous, inhuman scowl. Eventually, the hag caught up. Had no choice but to take her hand-to-hand.

Things distort. Immediate transition.

Scene 2 - We'll Get Them Nazis!
The visuals were brighter and a bit clearer. I was swimming in the middle of the ocean, cloudy blue sky above. Still lucid. I was unwittingly strangling someone, a mustachioed Nazi officer, or the corpse of one, at least. After tossing the body, I noticed a small yatch (one far too contemporary in appearance for that supposed era) passing by, of which was occupied with the dead man's comrade's. So, I swam after it. Upon catching up, I capsized the boat with a simple throw. Even so, I took pains in ensuring that neither of the men were injured from the vehicle's propellers. I then spotted a beach in the distance, storm clouds looming over its shores. As I made my way there, the dream collapsed.

Dream 3 - Guide's False Aspect

Scene 1 - Damp, Tepid Aura
The visuals were a bit dim and slightly blurred. I was at home, walking downstairs in the middle of the night. Got aware within seconds. Halfway down, I called for the kitchen light to turn on, though I got the stove light to turn on instead. Once downstairs, I tried summoning my guide, E, several times, imagining that she'd appear on the sofa, though that didn't happen. Just then, the light flickers out. A figure opens the sliding door next to me. Enter a glowing specter in the form of my guide, its damp, tepid aura giving away that this wasn't who I called for. Suspenseful string chords blared in the background. But, I didn't give in to fear, and only pretended as much. The ghost, of course, ran after me, though I didn't get very far before she caught me. She then made numerous attempts to bite down on my face, kept away only by a wrist's length. Much like the above-mentioned night creature, she took on an uncomely, monstrous appearance. I willed her back into a superficial near-facsimile of my guide. Really changed the context of what was going on...

Immediate warp.

Scene 2 - Don't Stand So Close To Me
The visuals were very blurred. I was in an unknown room, seated on one of many folding chairs in the area. Lots of people were around partying. A few of them got too close for comfort, especially some black dude with glasses. Uninterested in any of this, I walked off to look for something more amusing. Didn't take long for the dream to collapse.

Dream 4 - Meditation Meter MK II

DEILD transition in bed. Once again, I sat crosslegged, and began meditating, this time willfully bringing the above-mentioned interface. This displayed two different counters, one counting the duration of my meditation, and the other some abstract attribute (willpower, or somesuch). The latter started at an excessive negative number, something in the near minus hundred thousand range. As time went on, this number incremented positively, slowly at first, then at an exponential rate. I was satisfied when it reached the thousands, and lost track.

Not too clear on the rest. I'm sure I was back in another cavern. Don't recall how this ended.
