I have normal dreams from time to time, but often they're strange and twisted.
Flying in the void (WILD) Transitioning into the dream state felt extremely satisfying this time around, usually there's resistance or other strange sensations but this felt right. I was in the void flying around to different points. I saw a grid of blue dots appear in front of me, I flew closer to one of them to examen it. The closer I got the further away the other dots became, but the size of the dot I was moving towards remained the same size as it was when I was further away. I fly away from them and move towards some pink lights trying to imagine them being something, "I get a bit bored. In order to get any tasks done I have to be somewhere." I think. "To my room!" Instantly I feel my body in my bed and I'm in my dimly lit room, "I'm still dreaming" I think as I stand up and take several steps, I begin to feel a repelling force that sends me straight back to the void with the colors again and wake up shortly after. Swimming in the void (WILD) As typical from doing WILD for me, I entered the void in this dream. As I enter the dream I think to myself, "Why fly?" From head to toe I start doing a sort of wave motion like a fish swimming. I zoom out to look at myself and through the darkness of the void I can make myself out as an even darker shadow, I look just like a free diver. I bring it back in and look around, I see colors and lights in the distance and swim towards them. The closer I get to the light the louder and more clearly I hear a woman singing in a language I don't recognize. "It's probably gibberish." I think to myself as I'm trying to understand her. The last thing I remember her saying was "China man." All of the lights and colors in the void start becoming more intense and begin transforming. Now I'm in a pitch-black room with a huge high window and two large metal supports crossing it in the center. Outside the window I can see snowflakes and a soft blue light entering the room that illuminates about 50 penguin toys that are hanging from strings on the ceiling. I fly upwards to get a better look outside , I see that one of the support bars is impaling a speed limit sign at the base that reads "SPEED LIMIT 24". Everything goes black for a second before lighting back up again. Now I'm outside of the room on a balcony and there's a thick layer of snow everywhere. I think of doing my first of three tasks, banishing something, and look off the edge. There're a few dumpsters on the ground outside and I say "Disappear!" while closing my fist and looking at one of them. It doesn't go away instantly, instead I have to look to the left then back at it for it to work. I start thinking of what else I can do, and I turn around to try and find a pencil to draw a stick man with. The dream begins fading away as I'm walking, I start clapping my hands and I can even feel the slight sting from it. It brings the dream back and I continue walking and spinning around to try and keep it going for longer. Once I enter a hallway the dream disappears for good, and I wake up.

**for clarification the below is a dream, I don't own a new property or house.** I'm in a newly acquired home and I go outside to lock the main gate. I own a huge yard and I look outside the gate and see a mother with two children. I attempt to lock the gate, but the lock is broken. I go inside to retrieve a new lock and when I go outside, I only see the mother now, thinking the kids could have walked into the property I decide to leave the gate unlocked to avoid problems. I go back inside and want to become lucid, so I lay down and close my eyes. I'm in the void floating around and the only thing I want to do is drive my car somewhere strange. "I want to find my car!" I shout into the void. Instantly the dream world begins to materialize and I'm in an unknown house. I have a normal dream body and decide to open the door to walk outside, the outside world bursts to life. I hear a really catchy retro video game music playing, it's nighttime but the streets and building are lit up with the orange shine of the streetlamps, there's probably 100 people walking around the sidewalks and cars everywhere. I see a waypoint and I know it's telling me my car is there somehow. I follow it around the corner of the parking lot and find a floating empty white dotted outside of where my car should be. A mysterious jingle straight out of a detective show plays and I see in my upper vision a quest appears with the text. "Find your missing car." At this point I'm in disbelief of how alive everything is, and I never imagined this scene playing out like this. I just wanted to get in my car and drive somewhere...I turn around and just take in the scene. I watch one car turning the corner and as if a glitch or hitting a speed bump the car flies into the air for a moment. The driver inside goes limp and dies from the bounce. "Well, I found my car!" I cross the street and just as I'm about to enter it two people come bursting out of the adjacent building. One is my boss, and the other is an owner of a company I know of. "Jeremy!" he demands my attention. "Yes?" "Do you have the prints to c4?" (c4 referring to section c on the 4th floor of the building he just exited) I've never seen this building before, and I don't even have a phone on me. I look in my hand and I'm holding a phone now. "I don't have them." I tell him and he looks disgusted. "Does my breath smell bad?" I cover my mouth. I catch myself drifting off and decide this isn't worth it so I turn back to the truck and to dismiss them I say out loud "I quit" When I turn back, they're both gone, I get into the car and start driving. There's some construction material in the way of the car but I don't care and just drive straightforward. After driving for a bit my mind begins wandering and I catch myself losing lucidity once again but it's too late, the dream visuals have now frozen, and I can't make anything out and I wake up. **I've been trying to direct my dreams and walking outside and driving was a scene I played out in my head a few times so i was really caught off guard when the dream turned into what it did.

Escape Mom's House I was playing a game where the main character was the Isaac from The Binding of Isaac. I found myself walking around a building going from room to room. The game was more of a 2D platformer like Mario rather than The Binding of Isaac. I found a hole in front of me and sort of just walked into it on accident. I thought I died, but then the screen scrolled down revealing that there was a floor below me that I could now explore. I eventually found a way out and when I exited the home the game changed to 3D. I could now see Isaac desperately running on all fours to get away as fast as he could. *Thinking back I don't know why I thought I died, in The Binding of Isaac that's how you go from level to level.* Forest Recon *This felt like one of those dreams that was close to being lucid but just ended up being extremely vivid and fun instead.* I was with a group of soldiers in the forest. We spotted in the distance a large group of enemies and we were now at a standstill. We both knew each other were here and the only option now was to wait for something to happen. Taking initiative I climbed up a tree and began throwing myself from tree to tree like an ape. I was swinging at high speeds to get behind the enemies for intel. A hill, probably about 100 feet tall, stood in front of me. To get around, I had to climb it. So, I did. When I reached the top I found what appeared to be a wooden deck. I started walking down the wooden path when I discovered that it was connected to a trail. There were a lot of people walking it so I tried to play it cool, like I was always just around the corner enjoying the view and didn't climb the 100-foot drop. No one suspected me and I walked the trail long enough to finally find the enemies. *Beyond this point I don't remember too much.* I found one of my brothers with the enemies asking me to fix something for them. I was guessing the distance for a measurement saying something about it being 35 feet.
