I recently found an older SSILD tutorial on reddit that answered some questions I had about some aspects of it, so I’ve been trying it out the past few nights and felt like I was getting somewhere with it.

Around 6 or 7am a plant light turned on in another room too early, so I got up and turned it off. When I went back to sleep I went through 5 or 6 quick SSILD cycles, then began the slow ones. I feel like when I’m focusing on my tactile sensations I’m making progress, I think I fell asleep during one of those cycles.

One thing to note is that I had a benadryl around 6PM or so, my seasonal allergies were going crazy yesterday for some reason.

Awoken from dream sleep

On the side of a large smooth sloping hill/mountain there are many large nests attached to it with human sized eggs in them. I'm sleeping in one with two eggs around me. Something strikes the nest and I hear voices calling to me. I'm very tired and I look over the edge of the nest down the hill, there's a walking path down there that hugs the side of the mountain. P and a man are there looking up at me waving.

P looks very excited and shouts up to me that I should wake up and join them. I go back into the fetal position and shut my eyes, I just want to sleep. They continue calling for me so I get up and find myself walking with them on the path.

The situation is that P is looking for a new boyfriend and she had spent her time with this guy and now she wants to spend some time with me.

P is now showing me a motherboard that she's building. She's talking about how she plans to put a chip in a specific spot that will translate the audio of a game she's playing into German. I feel like she's just saying that because I'm learning German and she's probably not actually interested in learning it.

As she's talking I look at her, she's still looking at the circuitry talking away, the thoughts in my head drown out her words. I think to myself how beautiful she looks but also that I need to be with someone that I truly resonate with, I remind myself that I don't think that she and I would ever work out together.

Suddenly we're in my kitchen and I'm completely lucid. I turn to her and say "... I'm lucid?" She's holding a bag of popcorn, she puts a piece in her mouth nodding and says "Yup!". I walk over to her and ask her if I can borrow the bag of popcorn, she hands it to me and I take it.

I put the bag up to my nose and smell the hot air coming out, which of course smells like popcorn. I walk around my kitchen while smelling the popcorn, I'm very aware of the tactile senses of my body.

I turn to P and say "It's so stable, like, it's SO stable!" She just smiles and says "Yeah I know!" She adds "Can I have the popcorn back?” I say sure and hand it off to her. I go over to various counters and look at labels on different packaging that I find. I find myself slightly less grounded since I don't have the hot popcorn wafting into my face anymore so I shift my attention back to the sensations of my body. I'm so caught off guard that I'm lucid, I just take in what's around me.

As I turn around I find myself in a dark place that feels like an underground parking lot with hardly any lights on. There's a group of maybe 8 or so people huddled very closely together faced inward. It reminds me of that scene in 'I am Legend' when he finds those zombie like people in a dark building huddled together.

I imagine a spotlight is shining down on them and it happens. The people are looking at me squinting, shielding their eyes with their hands. One guy says "Could you not?" My recall ends around here.

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid FA / AP

False awakening in my teenage bedroom at my mom's. I check the time and it's 4 am. My mom is awake watching tv on the sofa and I find Riverstone sleeping on her bedroom for some reason. But I don't disturb either of them. I go back to my room and try to close the door silently. I feel strangely awkward to be here. But then I hear my grandpa's cane on the hallway and think "Oh, in this dream reality, grandpa is still alive?". So I open the door and I see him heading to the bathroom. My mom is helping him and surprised to see me awake. I decide to come out and say I'm happy to see them and ask them what year is this. They look at me as if I lost my mind. I insist and tell them I am not who they think I am, that I am a different version who comes from the future and is just dreaming this. They think I am mocking them and start to be upset, but still reveal that it's before 2020. So then I proceed to tell them what is going to happen, especially the pandemic, but also some natural catastrophes down the pipe, as proof I'm from the future. But of course, this will only prove correct when it actually happens.
Then I notice some things don't fit exactly into my own timeline, so maybe this is a different timeline where those things don't happen. The house is in fact different. The laundry room doesn't exist, there are different rooms in different places, then I check the kitchen's window and realize this is a house on the ground floor and not on the 4th floor. Also, there is a forest outside covered in snow.
Then i see in the distance that there is a forest fire, despite the snow. The fire is gaining strength and coming towards us. it is so intense that it is melting the snow and turning it into a torrent of water also coming towards us.
I yell at my family that the house will burn in a fire and for them to pick up whatever is most important and leave. Then remember "Are there any pets?" and they proceed to name them and bring forward carriers to put them in. Some new aunt I never had IRL comes up with some small dogs and puts them in the carriers. Three go on the carriers and a 4th has to be carried by hand. Then someone says "Bring the monkeys!" and they come with a cage with two monkeys. Then I notice I am just in a t-shirt and underwear but there is no time to dress anything else as we exit the house. We take shelter in a huge hardware store in town.
We stay there for a while and some pervert uncle I now have starts making advances on me, first offering me gifts and grooming me, then later cornering me in dark places of the store, trying to grope me. I avoid him and he starts chasing me. Although the store is working and people shopping in it, no one offers to help, it's as if we don't exist. I climb on top of shelves and let stuff fall on the ground, but everything is business as usual in the store. I take a run for the door through a long corridor and manage to lose him. Then cross some bridge over a river, not walking it through, but instead by hanging myself from under it as if it's monkey bars, because I don't want him to see me. On the other side I land in the middle of a group of students making plans to go to a concert and they invite me to go with them.

Cyborg Hunt

A couple of scientists were really sad when they found their cyborg was dead. After scanning it they, thought the "living" parts were counterfeit. Meaning that the alive half of the cyborg escaped. The DNA was very important to them. Eventually they found the living part and shrunk down to the size of cells. They were surfing on a glowing blue metal thing hitting corrupt parts of the flesh with a rod. The rod triggered an immune response and the surrounding tissue stretched out, forming tendrils that attacked the spots.

Limb Manipulation

I hear my brother call for my sister "J, come!" I'm facing a wall I know I didn't fall asleep looking at. "Ah I'm dreaming." I begin closing my eyes and twitching my fingers for a reality check, as I open my eyes, I'm floating in-between many false awakenings. I begin rubbing my hands together until eventually I stabilize in a void. It's different than normal though, it's hard to explain but it had depth to it. When I started flying up, I could sense that I was traveling through a three-dimensional area if that makes sense. "Minecraft, I want to visit Minecraft. What does Minecraft look like?" I began thinking to myself.

Then all around me I began to see the World forming, bright, vibrant and blocky. "Time to experiment" I thought while bringing my hand up to block my left eye. Just like IWL I saw double, there was a transparent section followed by a solid more defined section of my hand. Satisfied by the results I brought my hand back down. The only thing was that only the solid portion of my hand was in my control. The translucent portion stayed behind and solidified as a large object next to the tree's that were in the background. "Maybe I can use this."



I start heading in a random direction. "Cursed arm summoning." I imagine my arm reaching through the ground in front of me. I see it reach out and I can control it like my normal arm.



I continue walking summoning more arms under my control. Spontaneously, I decide to try grabbing things with the arms and pulling as a way to boost me forward faster, it fails.

"I can try to summon a husk for possession at this rate" I look at a distant mountain for the husk and find it. The arms are reaching out of the ground and it's pulling itself upward. It's now just standing still, it resembles an armor stand with missing textures. "A perfect blank canvas."



I think about possessing it, then my body begins moving in 4 quick forward zooms, as soon as I'm about 20 feet away I finally fully possess it. I turn around to see the husk I left behind, it's now running straight at me. I hold my hand Infront of me and dismiss it into the abyss below, it falls.

I start looking around the top of the mountain and hear a Girl talking.

"You wouldn't believe how much a chunk with a Lemon and Apple tree cost me, zero!"

"This is my chance to talk to a DC," I started thinking to myself about what I should say or even how I should talk. "Just say something, idiot." I focused.

"Oh my dear, that must have been expensive!" My words came out delayed, and I noticed I sounded extremely posh and had a British accent.

"Didn't you hear me?" she questioned. "It cost zero!"

"Oh well, I seem to have misheard what you said. That's fantastic!"

"It's simply horrible! On top of that, I have to live next to the river where I can go boating anytime as well!"

"Now, now, don't want to get too exuberant about the river now, shall we?" I quipped, breaking a few blocks in the chunk as we spoke. The sarcasm was nice, and she seemed to be happy.
I saw some artwork hidden in the blocks I was breaking.
I wake up.

The day before this dream I was car-pooling with my family to my sister's 40th birthday in Dallas, it was a 4 hour drive and I was using active imagination for some spells I could cast in a dream.
I thought my spells could link to something I already know how to control, like my arm moving I thought. So I came up with a few spells. Here are two.

Cursed Arm Summon: Summons an arm out of the ground that I can control. The arm can be grabbing an object as it comes out, such as a sign or tree and use it to swing around.

Cursed Husk Summon: First summon the arm, then imagine it's pulling it's self out of the ground fully. The idea is have it do something that you want, or possess it for short range teleportation. It's important that the summoned arm is under your control. *My brother suggested that possessing a husk should leave a body behind, and it would attack me.*

I basically had around 8 hours of active visualization imagining what it would look like.

Besides that I wanted to try and put my hand in front of my left eye to see what would happen in a dream.

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid FA / AP

Taking the bus home (as I did in high school), some people seem to have fallen asleep, this guy Pedro I met a few days ago while camping IRL is also getting out on the same stop as I.
I offer to walk with him, but he is actually going the opposite direction, towards À-dos-Loucos, so I say bye when he meet his sister or friend and they get in a car. When I start walking back, chaos ensues.
The road and sidewalks are covered in parked cars, people everywhere like there is some demonstration or street fair. I need to get on top of cars trying to find my way out. End up on some underground path where I come across a Mexican John Wick offing a hunch of dudes and I turn around before he sees me, afraid he might want to eliminate the witness. On another tunnel I see an exit but it is guarded by a kind of Robocop looking android, who starts shooting lasers towards everyone on the tunnel. But I yell "stop, don't shoot" and for some reason he does and lets me pass.
When exiting the tunnel I realize I am no longer in Alhandra but some other place with Aztec or Mayan construction. The tunnel actually opens up to a cave with amazing carvings and sculptures on the walls. I slowly become lucid and start floating around in the air to admire the surroundings, then notice something funny: all human faces carved in this South American style engravings look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. As I walk towards the outside and see more monuments with this face, the more clear it becomes it's him and I laugh at the absurdity. Then as I step on open air, the constructions outside change and look now a mix of Mayan/Austrian, slowly shifting towards only Austrian. I find myself in a city with endless streets that looks like Vienna, with palaces in yellow façades as far as the eye can see. One façade is covered chaotically in black bronze horses sticking and hanging out over the street below, with still some Mayan like sculptures in between.
I find myself in front of a larger palace with a patio and a huge black limousine in front that starts driving away. I fly to it to try to see who's inside. The limo is followed by a sports car that I also can't see who's driving, but I'm curious. Is it the Schwarzenegger like guy/god that rules this place or my mind will make up something even more silly? But I can't keep up with the cars. I speed up my flying and still they disappear. Then the road ahead transforms into a live version of a video game, becoming covered in grass and flowers, but with canons popping up from the ground and blasting transparent energy balls towards me, water canons shooting at me and creatures that I don't know if they are friendly or not coming towards me. Then objects that I suppose I should pick up but have no clue what they are and what they are used for.
I get quickly tired of it and get out of the road to the left side towards a cliff. There is some other lady joining me, seemingly curious about what I'll do. I am also not sure what I'll do, but I wanna do something useful with the dream, so I think I'll try to walk on air, to simply put my feet in the void and not fall down. This is something I never did before. The lady tries to discourage me but I ignore her and take a first step. It's so easy, as if there is a glass bridge beneath me. And I keep going. It works perfectly, but at some point the invisible floor starts to feel a bit smooshy, not entirely solid and it isn't easy to walk anymore.
I then realize I'm back over to "Vienna" and below me I see an hotel. It's named Hotel Regence. I decide to go inside and see who's staying in it, but I wake up.

I'm looking at a counter top with some items and suddenly become aware I'm dreaming. I continue to walk forward, engaging the dream, and the stability increases. I soon realize I'm in Meadow main house and I see the railing on the second story walkway. I feel a sense of confidence with control as I fly over the rail, and through the second story window on the top of the receiving area. After phasing, I descend in the night, turn and decide to do some control. I want to teleport to Haven. I basic summon the gravity bracelet by raising my right arm and create a circular motion to create a gravity portal. I black spot appears on the front bricks of the house. I expand it and a warbling effect appears in the brick as the portal grows. I fly upward, phase through, and enter void. I imagine myself moving through a cave in Haven Mountain. I soon find myself in a valley of Haven Mountain with massive screens of black mists at the outskirts. I want to make my way into the cave at the peaks. A long structure sits at the base of the mountain, with a metallic exterior along with gold and red coloring. It appears to be some type of fortress. I consider flying through the mist above and raise rapidly. I realize I may destabilize the dream by flying into darkness, so I quickly descend and fly toward the middle area of the main section of the fortress. I gradually approach, then turn toward the far end and fly in that direction. I approach a singular concave wall and notice an open doorway. I make my way through and enter a rectangular room with sparse decor. I simple bed with light cream sheets sits on the far end and an elderly Japanese man with a gray beard is standing in front. He seems quite kind and looks at me.
"Do you know how to get to Haven Peaks from here?"
He looks at me.
"We have to go through the Ratt Room".
He then hands me a keychain with several sets of keys attached. I wonder if I'll be bale to make these keys persistent.
We walk together toward the outside area and curve around toward the side of the structure. There are many chairs set up around small, circular tables. I go to use telekinesis on some of the chairs, yet they don't move. I soon turn from the area and continue to move into a back area with the man. We approach a back section that's a bit dim.

This was about a week ago, but I've been meaning to post this anyway.

The dream starts with me playing Rainbow Six Siege, and I'm on the operator selection screen, I believe for attacking. I hover my mouse on an operator in the first column and about the middle row to the left. I saw an operator named "Siev" and got confused because I am very familiar with most of these operators and I know that one does not exist. Since I was practicing reality checks for about two weeks up to this point, I decided to count my fingers starting with my left hand, then I saw I had about 6-8 fingers. While the vividness was very low, I was aware that I was dreaming. I got very excited and tried to stabilize, however, the dream ended regardless.

The Glowing Building (LD)
I’m meditating by a window and my eyes open. I wonder when I’ll get lucid again. I stand and head toward the opposite end of a room, which appears to be part of an apartment. I begin to sense that I’m moving through a dream I’m lucid. I turn back around and head toward the edge of the room with the large glass window. I feel a sense of excitement as I head toward the window and I'm interested in exploring toward the glowing building in the far distance.. I head back over to the window and set my sights on the building, glowing orange in the dark of night, some forty stories below. I phase through the large glass window and begin flying out toward it. It's pretty far away. I don't want to risk destabilizing the dream. I should fly to it really quickly. I get ready to zoom toward the building. I focus solely on the image and imagine myself zooming toward it rapidly as it simultaneously rushes toward me. I approach it at rapid speeds and I'm suddenly right in front of it. I float down slowly as I approach the entrance. I wake up.

Coming back in the middle of the fight, Pilot was still cutting into the head. I took several teeth and attached them to a stone sword now at a more effective size. Pilot gave some strategy, telling me to create walls to slow down the hydra and limit what it can see. I pulled walls out of the ground to give some shelter to Pilot as they stayed on the head. I stood on the sword as I used telekinesis to fly it to where Pilot said the body of the hydra was.

Now at the hydra, I was able to sense it and could dodge even in the darkness. As each head tried to strike at me, I would dodge some and create walls of stone to deflect others. Although it was capable of crashing through the walls, it preferred curling its necks around them to reach me. We both sped up during the fight, and I started deflecting with my fists as it got closer to my speed and reached me. I was able to slip past one of the heads and called over the sword to catch it and sliced the head clean off.

With two heads cut off, the hydra still had about five heads. Luckily it was not the type to regrow heads, so the end of the fight was in sight. The hydra got even faster with the head removed, as if the weight from that head somehow affected its control over the other heads. Now that it was too fast to block or dodge normally, I started essentially teleporting through the walls through a mix of extreme speed and enough control to seamlessly move through the stone. Now untrackable even to its eyes, I was able to cut off two or three more heads before it could react. The hydra was left with two heads and was finally able to catch up with me.

It then did what I never expected, and it was able to split its body in two. Turning into two winged serpents, it was even faster and able to fly around in separate directions. At one point where I was only able to block one with my back exposed, Pilot appeared at my back and blocked the other. That other serpent screeched and flew off after being blocked, and Pilot showed me their new weapon. It had multiple teeth lined up not to slice but to pierce, and they told me they slathered it with the hydra’s own poison. In the middle of the fight Pilot told me how deadly the hydra’s poison was along with explaining their appearance being made possible through attaching telekinesis devices to each of us.

They passed me their weapon and I was able to pierce the inside of the hydra’s mouth the next time it tried to bite me. Now that the two serpents made up of the last heads were pierced with poison, they would die with time. We decided to leave the fight with that, and they once again grabbed on telling me to go back up out the cave through the stone again. I ran up one of the pillars and did so, but we nearly instantly traveled through this time.

Pilot complained a little since they wanted to experience going through ground like before, and I promised to do it again later. We got back in the truck and headed towards the city since I wanted to end off the last day back at the city. I called Passenger so he would be in the city when we got there and I pushed time forwards to get there quickly. We were able to meet up just outside one of the buildings we visited last time we were in the city. Getting out, Passenger commented on our truck made from the plane we used to leave the swamp, and we showed him around it before walking around the city. We were able to celebrate with Pilot even preparing a slice from the hydra for us to eat. I’ll probably visit back again at least one or two more times after the event, but it was fun fighting through both rough environments.

The truck was reworked since last night and was already heading in the direction of the next fight. Before this night I thought there were more nights left, but knowing that there were just two more nights including this one, I went straight for the fight. I once again began in the back and when I went to the front to check on Pilot I saw no one despite it driving. I went straight for the wheel, and Pilot came from the back laughing. They explained how they built a way for it to steer itself, and after calming down we had breakfast in the back.

They told me they had another idea for my control, so they wanted me to show what I did to attach earth to my limbs in the fight against King Gator. I was able to form the earth perfectly around myself, and Pilot wanted to know if I could merge with the earth similar to my transformations. Attaching earth to myself did not function as a transformation at all, but I took the time to try out forming it into more armor and weapons-like shapes. I was also able to similarly form earth around Pilot when they asked for it. The truck stopped, and Pilot went to the front to see where exactly the creature was.

The radar showed that the energy came from below us, and we were right next to a frozen lake. Walking onto it, I looked into the frozen lake to see if any creature was there. Pilot told me exactly where it was, and it was underground near the lake but not under it. They jumped on me and told me to head straight down through forming the ground around us. I could see they were geared up and excited for the fight, so I didn’t fight back. First touching the ground with my hand, we sunk into the ground like it was quicksand. We were enveloped in rock for a short while before I felt my feet and lowered hand were free to move. Letting ourselves completely out, I fell into a cave in complete darkness.

I made the ground below us crumble to soften our fall, and Pilot threw out several lamps that floated around with telekinesis. The ceiling of the cave was extremely high up, with the top being hidden in darkness despite the torches and huge pillars of stone spread throughout. With the lamps’ light, I was able to see a snake slithering around us in the distance. At its size, its head was as large as a whale’s. I quietly warned Pilot since they did not seem to notice and I put my hand into the ground to pull a massive stone sword out. I then went back into my larger size, and was able to armor myself with scales due to the cave keeping the freezing temperatures out. Pilot was moving around their gear and told me to not worry about them.

Instinctually feeling the snake coming to strike, I was able to catch it by the top and bottom jaws of its open mouth but was stuck on as it rushed around the cave. It dragged me along the walls and crashed us through some of the massive pillars, but I stayed holding on. Now on it, I could tell that even the sword I made earlier was too small to cut through it. The next time it dragged me against the walls of the cave I controlled the stone to smoothly go around me and stab into the snake. The snake then stayed away from walls and flailed around to try throwing me off.

As it was closer to the center, I saw it rush by Pilot and they stabbed into the snake with the sword I left on the ground. Although the wound was not deep enough to harm it, I could see there were multiple glowing things wrapped around the sword. They all blew up, throwing chunks of the snake and causing it to slam into walls once again. I took this chance to grow sharp pillars off the wall that cut the neck from the most damaged point. I fell to the ground along with a good portion of the neck, and Pilot came running towards us. They went straight to carving its face and told me to stay alert as they handed me its largest tooth. As I was being flung around on its head, Pilot saw that it was a hydra and we only cut off one of its heads. I went a little further into the fight but will leave that for the last journal where the fight against the hydra continued.

Spring Competition 2024 - Night 14

I’m in the backseat of a car, leaning over the center console. I wonder when I’ll get lucid again...this is a dream! I see a bunch of lights illuminated on the center of the dashboard. I may as well use some electronics. I lean forward, hit a few buttons, and see lights glow. Nothing directly happens. I should interact with these guys. I place my hand on the driver’s shoulder.
“How’s it going man!”
He doesn’t quite respond. I look up and notice that we seem to be heading out of a neighborhood in Meadow. I decide to just fly out of the car. I phase through the door to my right and fly upward. The car continues on it’s way down the road in a wooded area that looks like the entrance to a development in Meadow. I fly upward and decide to ground. I look at my right and breathe slowly as I float slowly forward. I see the car turn around and head back toward me quickly, passing me and heading into the development. I stick my arm out and go for hook shot. I hear the chains clanking and I’m pulled rapidly and directly toward the front of the car. Sweet! I disconnect as we reach one of the first houses at the entryway. As I walk, I tune closely into gravity, studying the sensations. I notice that the sense of gravity is quite heavy as I walk. I begin thinking about dream goals. I notice a large building diagonal and across the street and another immediately to my right. I head toward the one on the right and notice a massive glass wall, raising two stories tall with a piano player seated to the right in a massive, white room. I phase through the glass and see the male piano player in a tuxedo at a black grand piano and another half-grand piano in front of that one. I’ll get something to eat for the competition.
“Do you have any chocolate?” The piano player looks at me, yet doesn’t respond. I begin digging in a large plastic container at the base of the half-grand piano, I expect to find a bag of chocolate underneath some of the contents. I don’t find any at first, yet soon find a bag underneath. I take it out, expecting chocolate inside of aluminum foil. I quickly find it and begin eating as I walk back over to the piano player who’s now eating a thin piece of dark chocolate. I turn to the half-grand piano. Time for mass TK. Look at it and notice it suddenly move to about three feet off the ground. I quickly raise it to the ceiling, then lower and raise it once again. I then use TK to throw the entire piano across the huge room, roughly twenty meters to the ride and it crashes into a massive grand piano without a sound, embedding itself into the top. I begin exploring down in that direction. I think more about dream control and consider time manipulation. I begin raising up my watch to go for it, then see some type of machine against the wall that looks like a gray ATM and decide to play around with advanced summoning instead. I go for portal, yet it doesn’t work and follow it up with fireball which doesn’t work. I revert to trying portal a couple times as I continue my way down the hall. I soon enter an area with shops on both sides that resembles a cross between a mall and the shop section of an airport. I see several teddy bears on a display in the center of the hall and try to both multiple then advanced banish, yet neither works. I continue to walk, taking in the sights, and checking out the shop entrances. I go to cast my dream catcher into a wall to make a portal, yet it doesn’t appear. I see a a guy who appears to be a father with some kids and I pass the group. I begin to hear a song play and I enter into a large black room that appears to be a large restaurant area with a section for music playing. I wake up.

To get into the event I went through a door which opened into the front of the truck. Being made from a plane, it still had the door separating the cockpit from the back which would be like the trailer of a truck. Pilot was driving and I could hear the loud hum of the engine as they drove the truck. I told them about wanting to see something new and challenging in this icy part of the world, so they showed me the radar and other equipment in the co-pilot’s seat. The radar showed me the surrounding area along with the living things in it. It was possible to tell how large the creature was based on how powerful its signal was.

All of the signals were weak, so I went to the back of the truck to explore the interior. There were several types of games so I ended up getting distracted with those, and once I was done Pilot asked me to come to the front. I started steering the truck and they explained that since there were no creatures to fight against, this time could be used for training or learning new abilities. I told them of all I have done including elemental control and body transformation. I also told them that I used to use weapons, but I brought none into the plane. After hearing me out and asking more about my abilities, Pilot went to the back and came to the front again with one of their screwdrivers.

They told me to open my hand as if I was going to give it to them, and it shot out of their hand and into mine. They told me to think about giving it back while keeping my hand still, and it flew back into their hand. They explained how they added this function to all of their tools, and it's how they were able to work on their own so quickly both when they lived on their own and when I was busy hunting. They then showed how it was just a little device attached to each tool, and it was possible to even send a tool with two devices to connect one and make the new object able to go back and forth as well.

I was able to try out bringing more tools in and out, even having several hover near me rather than having them go straight to my hand. Realizing that this was like the telekinesis I used on earth and water, I started doing the same with large chunks of rock and ice outside. Pilot showed me their tools so that they could attach the device to a sword or spear whenever I got one, but we threw around the idea of using the earth control on tools by attaching earth to them. We eventually reached a point where the path was covered in snow and boulders, clearly from an avalanche/rockslide. At first I picked up pieces with my control to throw them to the side, then Pilot gave another great suggestion. I instead controlled the earth to go down, and snow was thrown in the air like a mist. Clearing the huge cloud away with water control, we could see that it really was left as perfectly flat ground.

Using my elemental control in more unique ways, I could make structures either appear or disappear into the ground, and tools can be sent wherever I want. We drove a small distance afterwards, but heard a loud animal call from the direction of the flattened rockslide. Checking the radar first, Pilot saw that it gave off a larger signal than anything else we have run into. Before I could even get out, the entire truck was shaken around. It had already begun attacking us. Getting out, I could finally see that it was something like a yeti, but it had large antlers and was both wider and taller than our truck (not lengthwise lol). Seeing its size, I felt confident in going straight to transforming into my bigger form to fight it.

It threw me to the side with its antlers and would have stabbed through me with its hand if I did not create scales on the spot. I formed scales over my hand to hit it back, but I could feel my hand freezing over when doing that. Although the scales were good for defense, taking a cold-blooded animal’s traits in a frozen land was a terrible idea. Pilot pulled out a sword from the back of the plane, telling me it was going to be a surprise for later. I saw how they were holding it and knew to pull it in like the tools from earlier. I continued to fight the yeti but with the sword now, and blocking with the sword allowed me to not even rely on scales for defense.

After getting enough cuts in, the yeti started backing off more in the fight and became less aggressive. Seeing that it was likely defending its territory and was not willing to fight to the death. I walked away from the fight. Going back to normal, the cuts and bruises I got from the fight were more obvious but they were very menial injuries for a fight against a creature like that. We continued in the truck and were able to get all the way out of the mountains. Knowing we only had a few days left, I wanted to head towards a fight before ending back in the city. We then stopped the truck so Pilot could improve the radar to sense creatures at a much farther range. We relaxed and talked as they worked on it, and the dream ended there.

Spring Competition 2024 - Night 13

1. Water (LD)
I’m in a dim room, drinking water from a red solo cup. This would be a few points in competition. My awareness raises – I’m lucid. I look at the drink in my hand and take a sip. It’s simply water. I put the cup down on the square counter and look around the dim room. I realize that the area looks somewhat like the kitchen in Meadow main house. I begin to think of dream control. I look around and see several items on a counter nearby, but don't want to do TK and I don't see anything nearby for super strength. I want to get out of the area and explore a bit more. I drop to the floor and begin rubbing to stabilize as the dream feels a bit fuzzy. I turn toward the sink to my right and head toward it. I go to fly, but gravity resists a few times, yanking me down. I finally fly toward the window and phase through it. I end up in the backyard, continuing flight. It's a bit dark, so I figure I'll just phase back in and explore. I begin flying back to phase I wake up.

2. Dire Wolf Form (LD)
I’m in the kitchen in Syrano main house. It’s competition time…when will I get lucid again. I look around. I’m lucid.
I look toward the counter and see a pile of food to the right. I’ll do some telekinesis. I begin focusing on the pile of dishes and food to the right, imagining it moving to the sink. I see a few items flicker, then suddenly see them in the sink, with water running over them. Let’s see if I can move them do the drying board. I focus on TK and soon see a few items in the drying board. I see a pile of what appears to be bread loaves or croissants on the back counter. I go for a mass TK, waving my arms to move the entire stack. They don’t quite lift off. I decide to focus on exploring and other control. I drop to the floor and rub a bit to stabilize and rise back up quickly. I see a Himalayan lamp, but don’t bother with it as I realize it’s not an electronic device. I decide to go for levitation. Meditation. I sit in meditation posture and raise up a bit. At first, I bob up and down but finally get it to a steady levitation. I set my mind to zazen and maintain awareness steadily. I begin to float down the hallway in zazen. I hold awareness for a bit, and begin floating back down the hallway. I soon head toward the back sliding glass window which has the blind drawn. I phase through and notice what appears to be a long black walkway leading to a chasm. I run across it and finally jump over the chasm, going into flight. I fly to the other side and notice a dream plot beginning: three woman seem to antagonizing another, seemingly ready to start a fight. Time to transform. I begin to shrink down, think of quadrupeds and the thought of a rat crosses my mind. I’ll do wolf form. I rapidly transform into a wolf as I run forward. I feel front legs come out in front of me as I run and a feral energy runs though me. I charge toward one of the attackers and slash down with my paws. I turn to the one on the left and do the same. I approach the center one and tell her to leave the area. She begins speaking back to me and drop to the floor and I step on top of her. Enough of this plot…I’m going to explore. I revert to humanoid form and head into the large building ahead. I soon find myself in the central area of what appears to be a Syrano mall. I look around the area which has several different stores and white walls around the area. I begin to wake up.

Just open your eyes WILD
I'm in the void as I enter the dream, I start flying upwards and let myself drop and begin falling, I decide that I'm just going to open my eyes.
Like the last time I tried opening my eyes in the void I see that I'm in bed unable to move, but instead of closing my eyes and trying to wake up I imagine moving, it works. I begin rubbing my hands together to gain some stability but fail. I'm now stumbling through a dark distorted version of my room again there are lots of burst of ringing, I attempt the nose pinch RC and I have no hands, good enough. I see some rags or paper on the ground and remember my first three step task and banish them. They just blink away revealing the floor.

I wake up

Note: I'm not sure if this is me turning SP into a dream, a false awaking, or something else.

* [04:12 am] basketball, playing vs. <my uni> team, they're all black and super tall, I think how I'll play against them. Coming on to the court someone says "you realize the basket is higher [in college ball] than normal? I look at it and it seems higher, I decide to impress them with my layup abilities and try a reverse layup and miss quite badly. Later in a room with a (coach?) who's very fat and I get a strong whiff of body odor [first time in a dream]. There is a long line of store-processed turkeys leading off into the distance and there is something about this being a refrigerator room. On the court an older guy is lying on the ground, passed out and barfed, I say/think he over exerted
* [???] a team of us is doing industrial espionage [?] I realize I've left some of my things with my name <my name> written on them, including my backpack, they may be able to find me out from this. We leave through a major door and I look back at it and it is multi-part including a swinging metal frame, and someone says something like "Suz Hash [grad] is pregnant".
* <forgot>hanging out with a group of people.
* [LD #297] It was after I had been riding around in the park in my childhood home's neighborhood TVP on an electric motorbike, I was trying to figure out how to flip on the engine, eventually I did, when I had flicked the right switch I saw a battery level indicator light up, then I started up the engine and revved the throttle and rode up to the street level , I get to the top and I see a car that is like my old car parked in front of me with the rear end facing me I see the license plate it is standard CA blue background and gold lettering and even "recognize" it (6SUB...?) . I know I need to get my motorbike into the back of this car but I'm not sure it will fit, I go up to the trunk and look in and there is a small person (child?) hunched there in the back storage area on the left, which is I can see far too small for my bike because the back seat of the car is right there practically against the window. And I get the strong impression this is my old (first) car. I go around the left side and I see there are some pretty girls in the back seat. As I walk around I notice some curly strands of black pit hair hanging out the sleeves. So I lean through the window, and kiss the girl seated there. I see her face and eyes briefly and kiss her again. I realize I'm dreaming and I decide not to get pulled in to "girl stuff" and want to go about some dream goals, so I decide to declare out loud "I'm dreaming!" and stand up and go somewhere else and do some things for the current dreamviews LD competition, and instead I find that I've half-sat up in bed and said "I'm dreaming" out loud! Oops. I felt sort of dreamy after that and only later realized I had not done a state test to see if it wasn't a false awakening/transition. It was instant and not a fade, so it may have been a FA!

Fragment 1

Soap or candle in bathroom. At my grandparent’s (on my Dad’s side) house, I think? In a bathroom, I think. Someone wants me to fill a bucket with water for class or something.

Dream 1: Pirates, Buffet, and Lucidity

Robert Newton (“Bob” Newton, I call him in the dream) or someone like him giving me advice. I think it’s advice on being a pirate. This includes not eating too much or too much seafood because it can make one chubby. It’s a temptation for pirates, apparently, and he himself is kind of chubby. He leaves, and I walk out to his car (?) with him. It feels kind of emotional, as though we had become friends. I walk back in to the building where we were, and go to the buffet table. I realize that he had warned about not eating too much, but I feel like he wouldn’t mind me eating some of this free food. I become lucid spontaneously, apparently. I realize that I should eat something for points. I pick up a piece of cake or a frosted brownie and eat a bite of it. Then I do a reality check to be sure that I’m lucid (in case I had some doubt, I guess). I look at my left hand. Counting the fingers is difficult, and as I look I see that my fingers are kind of dark colored and sparkly, as though they were made of night and stars. Somewhere around here I lose the dream.

Dream 2: Camping and Post Office

I’m camping outside. I have a sort of a shelter beneath a leaning tree trunk, and am using a tent or a tarp (or maybe just a blanket) to try to shelter myself from the rain. There is also a cat girl walking around. She looks a lot like a cat, but also somehow seems human. She might be a human cosplaying as a cat, or something. She walks near me and I pet her. I try to make room for her to join me under my shelter. She says something about not coming out here as often as she did when she was younger.

I go into a post office to pick up something that is supposed to have been mailed to me. The post office looks like something out of an old western movie on the inside. I stand in a line with some other people, but it seems like the line isn’t moving. After a while, I realize that I’m in the wrong line. I go to the proper line. While I’m at the counter, someone working there says something about being in St. Augustine. A bunch of people in the room all correct him at the same time telling him he is in C--.
