I am involved in a ship salvage operation. It is a large ship, easily over 1km long with a horizontal deck plan and bilateral symmetry, it looks to be in fairly good shape. We pull up alongside it assuming the vessel to be abandoned. Upon entering through the airlock we find the ships interior is empty. About 75% of the hull is completely empty of internal bulkheads or any sort of structural support outside of the outer hull plating. There are large windows in places, most of which would have been oriented like skylights when the ship had artificial gravity and such. The windows seem to be odd shapes, all of them are made up of triangular glass panels with an isogrid style design.

We come under attack. Hiding out in the bottom 25% of this ship are its owners or defenders. The operate small pod-like machines. These machines have four spider-like legs with mag locks or something to that effect that can clamp onto and walk on the hull of a ship, even non-metallic materials like the whitewashed fullerene paneling this ship appears to mostly be made out of. Their machines have large glass bubble cockpits and heavy duty worklights. Two small thruster pods stick out on long pylons with several large nozzles on each thruster block. Most importantly there is a distressingly large rotary cannon of some descrpition on the front of these things.

I remember grabbing a metal spike, some spare piece of junk from the ship and spiking it through the canopy glass. The guy inside isn't wearing a pressure suit and chokes out from vac exposure.

4.4.2024

I am in the bathroom of my current house. The bathtub is full of water and pee and (theres no really eloquent way to put this) has about a dozen turds floating in it. The floor gives out and the bathroom falls through ot the first floor and then the basement. I am exploring the basement for awhile, its this big maze of abandoned passages and rooms with rusty pipes and crumbling brick walls that seems to go down several levels below the house.

Manei and I were participants on a game show. We were doing that game where there is a foam board cutout of a person that you must jump through. Its called the "trial of shape" or something like that. There is a rather small form that she wont fit through and she just sort of glares at it angirly annoyed that this game isn't accommodating or fair. I pass through it perfectly.

The dream changes to a hospital scene. Nicole watterson from the Amazing World of Gumball is going ot have a baby though she doesn't look to be pregnant. She lifts up her shirt to show her belly to the doctor and there is a paper tearing sound and a big belly appears. Then another paper tearing sound and her belly gets even bigger. Then a third paper tearing sound as a baby which is 'me' tears through her belly (its not gorey its just cartoony and looks like torn paper). Baby me is sticking out of the rip in her belly from the waist up starts flailing around like a garry's mod character and screaming obnoxiously loud. He/I takes a toy racecar from nowhere and makes engine sounds driving the car in circles. Then falls asleep for several seconds making an obnoxious cartoon snoring sound. Then wakes up again and continues flailing around.
The doctor says something to the effect of "ah yes a perfectly healthy baby"

The dream scene changes though this is still connected to the previous dream. I am in my childhood neighborhood in early dawn hanging out with some other kids. I think I am just wearing shorts and no shirt and I am in dream form. One of the kids asks who I am and I respond by saying "I dont know I was just born but this body is mature. I know english and I think a little of [some other language with a nonsense name]."
The kid walks me over to a group of friends and tells me I hae to be initiated into his group by playing the slapping game. He tells me to put my hands out palms down and he will slap them. Then I will slap his. We repeat this until one side gives up or flinches. I think to myself this game is stupid and I dont want to hurt anyone. He slaps me first and I don't feel it. I slap him but I intentionally hold back quite a bit. Though he still recoils like I hit him quite hard. He then seems to wait and think. I don't want to play this game or oblige this strange violent social construct this group is using. I notice my hands seem smaller and more delicate than IWL. I then remember a conversation with monkey I had about how the hand check never worked for me even though when I go into my dream form my hands are differnet.

I'm lucid. I remember this is a competition, and I remember a conversation I had with monkey about him wanting to fight stormtroopers from star wars together. All of the other kids scatter. The sun has come up now but its being eclipsed as I see the death star approaching earth and some star destroyers jumping in overhead, maybe about 15 of them organized into triangular formations of three. I then think that due to being busy I never actually listed the goal on DV and therefore I probably can't claim points for doing a goal that I didn't declare beforehand so I don't want the dream to do this.
The death star is rotating into position. It seems "accurate" as it rotates I can see all the little details, all of the buildings and greebles on the surface transition from light to shadow with way more resolution than I think WL eyes could manage. I distinctly remember how the inside of the laser dish caught the sunlight and transitioned from completely dark to a crescent moon shape and so fourth as the spherical death star rotated opposite. The sun is low in the sky so everything is tinted beautiful pink and orange, the whole effect is sort of like seeing the moon in the sky. Though it seems about two hand-widths across in the sky. I sense whats coming next and I don't want the dream to end.

"Set Barrier Radius 6,500,000; origin point earths core."

I got ot it just in time. The superlaser fires and hits right on the boundary of three hexagonal plates. There is a bright flash and a loud "BWUM!" which then fades like distant thunder. Birds fly away and windows on the houses break but everything is OK.

I did that to stop the dream from ending when the planet got destroyed, but the dream ended here anyways.

I’m floating down a street in Meadow at night and my awareness sharply raises. I’m lucid. I notice a streetlight to my left, glowing and several large brick structures along the side of the street that look like massive mailboxes. The road curves slightly to the left as I progress down. I continue to fly down a bit and briefly think of dream control before reflecting on how I want to do some telekinesis again. I turn to the first brick structure and use TK to lift the entire thing from the ground – it easily moves up several feet. I then turn to the next one, quite a few meters down the street and it easily moves as well. I follow up with the third soon after. I head down a bit farther and think about doing some super strength. I see a massive tree to my left and begin to fly toward it, yet figure it's not worth the time. I turn to my right and notice a large white stone structure across the street. I go for more TK and I notice that the structure seems to flicker up and down rapidly for a moment before reverting to its original position. I consider using super strength on it, yet soon notice a small group of people walking down the road. I should interact a bit. I begin flying toward the group. I wake up.

I feel like I'm sacrificing sleep for having lucid dreams, maybe I need to sleep earlier.

Car Theft

I was sitting outside my apartment when suddenly I guy ran up and broke into my car. I get up and start trying to walk towards him to confront him but I'm in crutches for some reason, so I can't get to him in time. "This ain't your car!" the thief said to me as I continued limping to him. "Is it?" He starts driving away when I see a huge black truck entering the apartment complex "Stop him!" I wave down the big truck gesturing at my stollen car. The huge truck drives right in front of the guy, blocking him from driving.

Visions

I felt myself enter the dream, I have no dream body, I saw a pixel art game in black and white, but the character you play as is a knight wearing neon rainbow colored armor. "I want to play Rainbow Knight!" I attempt to control the dream.

The art of the game fades and now see that I'm in what appears to be some sort of party room, there's purple and yellow walls, I'm uncontrollably drifting through the room, I see a cartoon character with a football shaped head looking at me.

I tunnel to a new scene.(I'm not in control of this or any tunneling throughout this dream)

I'm now orbiting 1000 feet above a stadium; it has a huge swinging spotlight that points from one end to the other.

I tunnel to about 2 more scenes, I can't remember what was in them because they were so fast. It's like I'm a camera and as soon as there's a 3d render of a place I go to the next.

As I'm in one of the scenes I think to myself. "Will this ever end?" a memory hits me, I asked myself that same question in a similar dream as a child.

As I begin uncontrollably tunneling to a new scene I image putting my fist in the direction of the acceleration, pretending to be superman, then a white flash appears as I'm doing that, my whole vision is nothing but pure white. No more acceleration, no more imagination, just mild vibrations. I'm left with an eerie and confused feeling.
It fades back to black and I begin tunneling again.

This time I'm above a city in the dessert. It has tall beautiful skyscrapers.



As I'm uncontrollably orbiting it like before, I notice that this scene is playing much longer than the previous ones. I attempt to look around and it works. I begin flying away into the dessert at high speeds. I find a hole in the ground and decide to dive into it.



I wake up.

NLD #1

I went on walk to city. It was nice night. I passed some streets and went to oldtown of my home city. Looked around and saw a lot of people in white monk hoodie on entry to castle gate.
-Maybe some festival we have? - I thought
I turned left on next crossway and started searching for some pizza. It was late so it was understandable that a lot of pubs and other eating places was closed.
-Somewhere here my favorite pizza supposed to be - I thought again
But it wasn't. I reach end of street and look around and saw my place circa 20 meters away on my right.
-Ah! here! I see now. But always it was there? I can bet it was closer.
I went in that direction and saw few workers inside. I entered.
-Excuse me. It is still open? - I asked
-Yes it is, but soon we will close. How can we help you?
-It is possible to order one pizza?
-What kind?
-Let's check... - I looked into menu and ordered one. But I cannot remind what pizza it was.
-No problem. Estimate time for order 10 minutes
-Thank you!
One pizzaman left with his last delivery order. During waiting for pizza I started to talk with personnel about I don't remember the details. Waiting for pizza was prolonged. In this time the pizzaman went back to base.
-Are your pizza still not ready? It took me 20 minutes to come back here. Are fine?
-Yes I'm. It's not big problem for me - I smiled.
Short after that my pizza come. It looked like big pie with orange-red topcoat. I cut slice of my pizza but when I wish to put that piece into my mouth I woke up

I WANT MY PIZZA BACK!

NLD Fragment #1

I was in my flat. It looked very small, dirty, poor- equipped and sad for some reason. I remember my grandfather. We were talking about something.

NLD Fragment #2

I was in dark place. I don't remember where. One person was in front of me. Probably friend of mine but I cannot confirm that. He showed me weird device.
-It is small nuclear generator - He explained - Feel free to test it.
-Emmm... Are you sure?
-Yea! Just use a crank.
I used the crank. It was very heavy to move. I saw like big undefined ball was closing to metal rod (btw I think that ball can be the "demon core"). Some noise appear the the ball come closer to the rod. I stopped and all mechanism come back to start position.
-Don't be shy - person said
I used crank again and the ball moved near to the rod. The rod starts to be red and probably hot. Some steam appeared.

I had one more dream but alredy forgotten

Moving:
A tall and friendly looking man wakes me up by putting his hand over my face.
I'm in my childhood home, the room on the left end of the hallway. My girlfriend is with me in the bed.
The room is empty apart from our mattress on the floor.
I tell the man that normally I would have freaked the fuck out, had he not done the same thing yesterday morning.
He also wakes my girlfriend this way. She gets up and starts to get ready right away.
I reflect that maybe I should wake her that way due to how effective it was.
I go downstairs and I'm now in what I know to be a middle school orientation day.
I walk past K and also B from marching band, who tells me a story about his dog and vet, while we ascend an escalator.
I get to a dorm-like room that apparently used to be where I stayed, but I am moving out for the next batch of kids.
The room is 90% bunk beds, with a narrow path between them.
I have a bottle of diet coke on my bed, and the new person has moved it to the top bunk.
He has put his coke zero bottle in its place.
There is a CRT monitor mounted to the wall, with voice activated ChatGPT.
My girlfriend’s mom is there and I want to show her how it works.
I ask ChatGPT what color its favorite dragon is.
It seems to address the question at first but then rambles off.
I justify that this GPT must be modified to be "hip with the kids" or something. The text is hot pink on the readout.
My girlfriend’s mom introduces me to a new packaging format for a fruit/protein drink.
It is 26oz and basically just two smaller ones merged together.
I tell here I should look into this.

Oops:
I wake up at my current home and realize I can't hold off from going to the bathroom.
I reflect that I should lay off the Metamucil. The bathroom is weirdly open to the outside on the right side.
It is also my childhood home's bathroom, not my current one.
There is more detail to this uh event, but I will not type it out here.

I had two long semi-lucids. I did my best to get points but I waited over an hour before journaling so I hope I didn't forget about any tasks I completed.

Spring Competition 2024 Night 7 (DILD) 04.05.2024

I am in school and I open my textbook to find notes from a prior student that are all about some sort of fantasy world parallel to our own.I become lucid from this and start reading the notes. The teacher tells me to focus on the class but I don't. (I could have gone with my goal to get a good grade in dream school but I wasn't lucid enough to remember that.) The dream transitions to me being part of a super hero team. I show them the notes and they dismiss it as unimportant.

I feel a bit more lucid and feel like doing a reality check so I use telekinesis on a rock and make it fly into my right hand. It is a shiny red stone. I learn from the text book a bunch of new powers that I want to try. I summon a star wars speader and the dream transitions to that one Mos Eisley map from the original Star Wars Battlefront 2. The other super heros are disagreeing with me using my new powers. I wake up.

I laid in bed trying to remmeber my dream form about half an hour before WILDing back into the dream in Mos Eisley.

After the dream forms I teleport to the parallel world. At some point I summoned a lightsaber. Man I wish I could remember more but that's all I got!

Night 6
Birthday Party (LD)
I walk toward the entrance of the house and see my dad in the doorway. Dream?... I’m lucid.
I walk into the room and see that quite a few people are gathered around a large rectangular table. We appear to be in a dining room type area with many items strewn around the edges of the room and sunlight pouring through the windows. My grandparents as well as mom seem to be there as well.
“Hey everyone!”
I walk toward the table and notice a circular cake in the center that appears to be a mix of vanilla and chocolate. A wedge-shaped slice is missing. I may as well eat some and get some points. I pick up the whole cake and begin eating some. I look around the table and notice some tall candles in the center next to some other items. I go to TK the candles, yet only notice the base flicker a bit. I turn toward the corner of the room and notice a stack of what appears to be cereal boxes. I go to TK them, yet they don’t budge. I walk through the doorway to the room once again, heading into the daylight. I see some nearby shrubbery and once again have no luck with TK. I may as well head back inside for now. I head back inside and go to interact a bit. I walk toward the table.
“How’s it going guys?” I say as I go to put a hand on my dad’s shoulder. I wake up.

well, After that great stretch of Jamie dreams she seemingly turned on me again. But, I know better, just the usual obvious dream demon attacks. This time the culprit may have been in the gift box in the dream (Seemingly from Asuks.) I had to ask for Raven's help again, really she's doing The Lord's work. bless her.

Jealousy

I was in some apartment building with some guy and Jamie. Jamie was being distant. Came to this construction area in a stairwell or something. She started talking to some older than me guy, but wasn't talking to me. Gave her the benefit of the doubt and walked of with the other guy. We went to his apartment and I forget what happened. Then we looked for Jamie because it was time to leave. Found her in the stairwell talking to that guy again. She made herself look like an older woman - more to the guys age. Me and the guy just stood there watching her and we had a short conversation about it. He said something like, "It looks like she's being real tender with him."

Woke up and said to the Jamie voice, "Jamie, Your cheating on me in the dreams again, better pray about it or something." and I heard (in my head), her praying about it. Too funny. Do I qualify for anti psychotics yet?

What

Jamie was talking to me in that arrogant and superior voice again. She said something really odd like, "before we can talk, you have to have sex with me." and I was shown an image of us doing it, but the visual was like in those anatomy books. That made it look kind of gross. The logic of that statement though... how do you have sex with someone without talking about it first? As a guy who won't even hug or hold hands with a girl without verbal consent, gl with that.

Next night. Asked for raven's help but seemingly no effect. Had a rough time trying to sleep. Had one dream, still not good.

Ancient

Jamie is something like an ancient goddess. Has the old fancy dress. She's by an Egyptian pyramid with a writing clay tablet. And she's inscribing stuff in cuneiform. She's seated at a booth. Apparently it's a kissing booth, with thousands of men lined up for a kiss from Jamie. They give her old style coins and she marks it down on the tablet.

Last night.

Flash

I'm by Jamie's house, which in dreams seems to be consistenly a farmhouse area. I'm walking with some guy with glowing eyes, he has hair down to his chin and his face is similar to that actor who played "Jacob," The island protector in LOST (Also he played the drug addict ex boyfriend to Rita in Dexter, and also "Lucifer," in Supernatural). I know it's Raven's dream boyfriend or something. We are looking around at the scenery and he says, "It's nice isn't it."

Flash two

I'm walking with Raven through a rip in the fabric of a dream. On the other side is a nice grassy area Raven is lying a woman down on the grass who seems to be asleep or delirious. It's Jamie. That's all I remember.

Was looking out a balcony and changed the scenery to be the swamp, and I was now sitting in one of the homes in the trees. I was with one of the leaders of the village and he explained how the strength and abilities I gained have come from defeating enemies and absorbing their strengths. This explained how we grew in strength so quickly after overcoming difficult enemies and how I’ve been able to control water after hunting so many fish. When I questioned about controlling ground, the leader answered with snakes controlling the ground as they slithered through it and explaining that Passenger killed creatures I haven’t during his personal training.

They had me and Passenger head out to practice fighting against huge creatures before the King Gator. We fought against the huge alligators as before, but also faced huge catfish like the one that killed our first huge alligator and a snake that covered the forest in all directions when we fought it. After a few of those fights, I told the leaders that we were ready to fight the King Gator and they eventually agreed but since I was the one pushing for it they decided that I should face him alone first. I then went over to the plane and turned on the electronics to grab the King’s attention as Passenger hid at the side along with the village leaders.

We heard the noises in the distance again and finally understood it as trees being pulled from the ground. We then heard what sounded like an explosion and a sharpened log made from a tree shot at me from across the swamp. Jumping out of the plane right as it hit, the log blew up what was left of the wreck. Having seen the arc the log took to get thrown here, I shot myself towards the king in a similar arc using water to propel myself. Landing right in front of King Gator, he was in the middle of tearing all the branches off a tree by sliding his hand over it. That showed how he quickly got spear-like logs out of trees.

Seeing that I was already there, he swung the tree around like a bat and knocked down the other trees around us. I kept dodging the attacks as they came, and eventually cut through the tree in his hand when he got too fast to dodge. With his tree cut in half, King Gator swung his claw at me and I was able to block with my sword. This continued with us swinging at each other until Passenger arrived and joined the fight. Although I expected us to overwhelm him with my sword and Passenger’s spear, we still weren’t able to land a hit beyond his claws.

Seeing our lack of progress, Passenger began including his control over the ground to land extra hits in. I was not able to use water since we were not near any, but I was able to control the ground as well by this point. The blunt hits from the ground were pushing him back, so I threw the sword down and began punching and kicking at him. With us now handling the fight well, Passenger told me to hold King Gator off as he prepared something. To somewhat match his size in our 1v1, I attached some of the ground to my arms and legs.

In training with the village leaders I learned how to manipulate the energy gained by defeating monsters somewhat, and my physical body was able to grow a bit to make the earth extensions on my limbs not appear comically large. Now standing at half the height of King Gator, the fight started to feel almost like a boxing match with us trading blows. In these punches I was able to hit him square in the jaw along with every other attack aimed at his face. When I heard Passenger coming over I uppercut King Gator to make him stumble back and stepped aside.

Passenger was in the air and coming down with him was what appeared to be a massive meteor. Burning up, it crashed into King Gator and as it cracked under its own weight water gushed out. Understanding, I controlled all the water spilling out to strike into the King Gator like lasers. Out of all the mist and dust Gator counterattacked and threw me back, and Passenger stepped in to fill my place. Water and rock was now being thrown everywhere, covering the sky as it was flown in circles. As I was still in the distance, I helped with throwing some of the floating rocks down at King Gator.

Returning to the fight, I let the earth attached to me crumble and I used water to fly and accelerate my hits. Passenger also propelled himself with the ground and turned his body larger as I did earlier in the fight. Seeing how well we were pushing him back, we went in for a final punch. Both of us pushed our bodies further to form scales like the large crocodiles’ on our fists and used our element manipulation to propel and slam our fists into King Gator’s face. After the hit he stood in silence for a moment before crashing down into the ground.

He was defeated. Although the village leaders were not strong enough to defeat King Gator themselves, they were able to carry his body away. Going back to the village, we celebrated again. This time it was for the freedom of the people of the swamp and to thank us before we continued our journey to leave the swamp. When we asked about getting food and materials from him, the people were shocked. They told us we couldn’t, as he was a person that happened to get out of control. They assured us that he was taken somewhere that he could not cause trouble, so we continued the party without worrying. Knowing the direction to go from Passenger’s communication, we took this as our last day at the village before journeying out of the swamp. After the party we spent time with Kappa since we would leave him as well.

I was too anxious from the FA to fall back asleep; I considered stopping lucid dreaming I was so disturbed. My terror and dreams are separate things however, they can happen at the same time but they're not causally related.
I'm not going to stop because I was afraid!

It's around 4:15
While laying down relaxing I'm imagine myself walking in the dark. It starts to feel very real; I continue on and soon after each step I take gravity weakens until with a tap of the toe I'm sent into space. I float for a few seconds, "Well, why not visit Minecraft?" accepting the fact that I dream of it so often, I hear the sound effect of falling into a body of water.

I still don't see anything so I imagine pressing a space bar on an imaginary keyboard so I can float up, just then I can see that I'm in a body of water. I make it to the surface and then float above the water. "What was my task?" it feels like the dream world is fading as I ask myself this question, I land then begin focusing on the tree's and notice some tall green Mario pipes with a 2d image of Kirby on them. Everything stabilizes.



"Element control!" I turn back to the water and command, "Rise water, rise!!!" I bring my hands in-font palms facing up and raise my hands. A medium portion of the water is reacting but only lifts about six feet into the air, never disconnecting with the body of water.



Satisfied I turn back to the Mario pipes and think about what else I can do, I phase through the Mario pipe to look inside, in the center of the pipe where the ground meets, I see another 2d image of Kirby.



I fly back up in the air and circle the area just taking in everything. The dream begins to fade.

*I think I wake up, I want to grab my phone after the lucid so I can record an audio file.*

I sit up in bed and hear a swooshing sound and feel off, I reach for my blanket and when I grab it, I immediately notice that I can't actually feel anything. The blanket moved so realistically, I'm filled with a sense of terror, "Is my brain messed up?" "Am I awake but my body is asleep and that's why I can't feel anything?" I'm questioning my sanity at this point and simply decide to lay back down and close my eyes.

I wake up.
I should have known it was a false awakening and remained calm, the light was on, I heard strange sounds, I couldn't feel the blanket.
This was my first time moving around while fully conscious in a false awakening and it really caught me off-guard.

Since my last 'no caffeine' test I've resumed with going back to drinking coffee/etc but I've been wondering if it has been messing with my recall because it's just been terrible recently. So as of yesterday I'm again off the caff.


The Assassin

Inside of a dimly lit apartment I find someone knocking on the door. An asian woman comes in and a time lapse begins, showing the progression of several hours. It ends with us in the bedroom sleeping together.

She wakes and is looking for something through two boxes. I go over to her side and think to myself that these are some boxes she must've brought here with her tonight. It's still very dark and difficult to see but I notice one of the boxes were full of yogurt containers. It looks like they are all bloated and leaking. "You know these should be refrigerated right?" I mention, but she seems to have other priorities right now.

There's knocking on the front door, I head over and open it up. There's a group of ten to fifteen asian boys in a semi-circle around the deck, all around 15-ish in age. They're all saying the same word over and over again but it's hard to tell what it is over their accents. Then I notice something on the ground by the rightmost teen. At first I thought it was a Furby but I recognize that it's Gizmo from those old Gremlin movies.

I point at it and say "Gizmo!" as I simultaneously realize that's exactly what they've been chanting the whole time. I get a kind of foreboding and ominous vibe from the situation, I shut the door and go back to my room.

The woman reveals to me that she's an assassin and that she's doing some work in the area. I ask her if that's why there's a bunch of guys at the door. This puts her on high alert, she hands me a gun and says something about being found out and takes off.

I suddenly find myself outside looking up at a walkway that wraps around a building, it could be a motel. The assassin woman is struggling to get away from a man that is behind her with one arm around her waist and another over her mouth.

I still have the gun she gave me earlier, I take sight at the man but they're so close to each other, I don't want to risk shooting her. She shoved him away at one point and I pull the trigger, but an airsoft bullet comes out and it weakly arches downward. I wait for another opportunity to shoot and this time the gun fires violently loud, my recall ends here.


The slaughter house

As a floating perspective I view the inside of someone’s house that is being checked out by two police officers. The officers are saying there were reports of pigs being raised in this house and they wanted to see if that was the case. The owner is walking along with them with his ~5-ish year old son following the action. The cops only check a few rooms and then leave the house, satisfied that there were no pigs here.

Then from one of the rooms they didn’t check a small piglet comes running around the corner the father grabs it and says to the son that he’ll have to kill it now. The child protests and asks why? The father says if he kills whichever pigs venture out this far into the house it will encourage the other pigs not to do so, as he lifts the piglets head and brings out a blade.

My perspective leaves the house before I see/hear what happens next. I’m now semi-lucid and really disgusted at this man. I fly above the house and focus on the roof, I begin crushing it with my mind. The shingles and wood start splitting and bunching up towards a central point in the middle of the house. I think that this isn’t a productive way to teach the guy how fucked up his actions were as my semi-lucidity fades.

Before WBTB

I set my alarm for 6 hours from now, make a plan to stay up for about 30 minutes when it goes off, and then go to bed.

WBTB

No recall. I spend some time incubating a dream where I am in the lamp-post area from Chronicles of Narnia where Lucy meets Mr. Tumnus. The goal being to transition directly from waking into this dream. I've grabbed onto lamp-posts and other objects before to "pull myself into" dreams, so it seems like a good strategy. I write up a dream where I summon Daniel Love, ask him for advice on teleporting, and then go through a portal to arrive at Silverlight. This takes me about 30 minutes and then I return to bed. I have some difficulty going back to sleep, but eventually I get there. No WILD sensations though.

After WBTB

Chasing Daniel:
I’m in my bedroom, and I remember that I was just going to sleep from a WBTB and perform a nose RC [1]. Aha! This is a dream.
I get up and start looking around. I can feel the dream is unstable so I start to rub the floor with my hands, and (as is tradition) lick the wall. It still tastes like wall.
I recall that my first task is to summon, so I go to the bathroom door in front of me and imagine Daniel Love behind it.
I pull the door open and check the whole room, including the area behind the opened door. He isn’t there. Crap. Maybe I was too rushed?
I go to the kitchen and my Mom and Dad are there, talking about something. I pay them little attention.
I do notice that the kitchen table is covered in pizza boxes, empty two-liters, and crumpled up paper. I reflect about how my brain is this good about characterizing my past.
I make it to the fridge, thinking I want something to eat, and sure enough there is an apple in a bottom drawer in the fridge [2].


Successful summon! First task complete!

As I try to grab it, I feel the dream destabilizing.
Void.
I try to focus and go back into the dream.
I hear my Mom’s voice from outside my room.
Wait. My Mom isn’t alive. It can’t be her.
I perform a nose RC. This is a false awakening [3]. I get out of bed again and try to stabilize more vigorously this time, but the dream fades.
…
I’m outside a small shop, and I remember that I had just been stabilizing. Nose RC: Lucid again. I recall that I want to summon Daniel.
I see that there are two people in the shop: a customer facing away and a person tending the register.
The customer is the one facing away, so I imagine that when I see his face, it’ll be Daniel.
I approach him and I notice the back of his head looks like what I expect Daniel's would look like. Short black hair.
But when I extend my hand out to meet him, he says “not him” [4]. This is a dark skinned man with a mustache. Nope.
He shakes my hand anyway though. I try to turn-around-and-turn-back to get him to transform into Daniel, but no luck. The dream starts to fade again.

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid FA / AP

Marry into a rich family. Their mansion in a beautiful place surrounded by mountains, but my mother in law is insane. She wants everything in the house plus everybody to wear only white knitted clothes. It is kind funny at first, but it gets exhausting after a while. None of the sisters and cousins of my husband ever complain but the hate it to. I get an accomplice to change the decoration in the living room to colorful stuff. Off course she hates it and wants it down.

Then I live in an apartment (looks like my mom's, but in a totally different life) and my husband becomes abusive. He keeps me locked up, I can't go anywhere except to some family or work events with him. He's been telling everyone that I'm schizophrenic, so nobody believes when I say what's going on. I always find ways to come to the door when the mailman comes or something, but nobody believes me. He keeps moving me to more and more restrictive places. Then at some party he takes me to, I refuse to go back home, keep insisting publicly that he is abusive and I demand someone to call the police. There is a couple people who give me the benefit of the doubt, I press charges, I don't go back and I stay with this lovely family. Police goes to the home and does find evidences he keeps me locked up and that I am suffering malnutrition. There is no record of me in hospital and psychiatric treatments as he claimed. I get a restraining order from him, get support and go to university to study. But gotta keep looking over my shoulder.
I am afraid to pass under a tunnel that is so dark. Some guy passing by seems safe and nice so I ask if he can walk with me and we become friends. He is such a geek and later invites me to watch him participate in a Lego tournament for 2 or 3 days. I go and I am amazed, as he builds an entire Hogwarts castle and train from Harry Potter with regular Lego pieces.

I had a meeting with someone that messaged me underneath a bridge, we had a meeting under the bridge before heading to the terrace of a campsite where we met up with an old acting teacher from mine late at night to pitch her app for money. I was browsing the app's website and read its about page as I had no idea what exactly the app was myself.

I'm now in the grey backrooms of a classroom at what was implied to be my old school, I had finished my assignment and was reading a binder as I waited for the class to end. Two teachers resembling my community college teacher as well as my primary school teacher walked up to my table and told us to reconsider our PDFs and continue working instead of reading as we wouldn't leave earlier than 1 am.
The teachers kept us in the room until 1 am. It was currently 11 PM and I was getting tired and had to go to the bathroom. The bathroom was in the hallway and I asked if I could go leave and the teacher refuses. Mind you I didn't even have my stuff to escape, I just needed to pee. I told her and she pulled out some big transparent vase like sculpture filled with urine. Looking at how unethical all of this is, I call out the teacher to remind her that this is supposed to be a VET major, absolutely ridiculous that we weren't even allowed to go to the bathroom. As I walk back to the backrooms of the classroom, I remembered it resembles the back of my old elementary school where they had two toilets up the stairs in the back. But they were out of order and the toilets became rubble.

It was then that I heard a student mention taking the elevator in the room that worked, so I grabbed my stuff, entered the elevator, then got on my bike as soon as I left the building and rode to the train station.

As I rode my bike to the train station I notice that a motorcyclist has been following me for a while, I speculated that it might be a spy, as they take off their helmet, it is indeed the teacher from the classroom who's following me! I taunt her as I grab my phone, about to film her and expose her unethical practices to the world.

I then wake up.

Dream was in Dutch.

My dream before involved using magic and powers, so it transitioned pretty smoothly between that and training in the swamp. While there were a couple around me, Gejoh from last time was the one directly training me this time. He showed that it was possible to control and shoot streams of water without needing fish to do it. I needed to bring it up from a body of water, and he explained there was still use in getting fish to jump out to shoot from different angles. Looking back this isn’t really true since the streams could curve in the air, but having extra streams of attack isn’t too bad.

Gejoh was pitch black with a glowing blue mouth and eyes similar to his profile picture, and was able to get water blasts to shoot out of those parts of his face. I and Passenger were training with different people, and after enough training we faced another large alligator together again. We did not need the both of us to block attacks from the alligator anymore, but it was still difficult to land a hit that seemed to truly hurt the alligator. Passenger told me the stomach was its weakest area but I did not find that helpful since it was flat on the ground.

Passenger then showed me what he’s learned and stuck his hand in the ground to flip the ground with the alligator on it. I was then able to show him what I’ve learned as well and shot streams at its stomach, successfully cutting into it. With the alligator still stunned by being flipped over, I was able to cut its stomach open and Passenger was able to shoot a pillar of earth into it, killing the alligator. With this one killed on land, we were able to collect from its body afterwards.

We gained a new set of armor and weapons made from its scales and claws, and we had a feast with the whole village around the body as it continued to be carved. Kappa reunited with us and brought up that maybe we should try returning home. He was happy to have his people’s homes saved and did not want to keep us from trying to find our way out. Passenger conflicted since we had been there for so long and was still afraid of whatever threw the logs when we flew over, but I convinced him that it was worth checking out the wreckage again.

We headed back and on the way there he found out how to use his ground control to surf on the ground and I followed in learning how to use water to shoot myself forward. We taught each other how to use each other’s abilities and although we learned a bit we stayed specialized in what each of us learned first. Once at the wrecked plane we decided to turn it on and check its radar again, now ready in case a fight came to us. Passenger stayed inside to continue checking the screens and I was on the outside trying to move the receivers in different directions. He told me if I should stay pointed in any directions and I heard him trying to use the radio.

He was finally able to communicate with someone and told me to hold still. I stood still up on the plane for a while until I heard something loud in the distance. Although we were now confident in our abilities, if it was the same opponent we would still be getting a tree thrown at us. Passenger was able to close up his conversation over the radio and told me to hide in the distance with him. Nothing came, but we were able to learn the directions of other people and of possibly the enemy from the first dream. Since the sound was relatively near, we rushed in that direction silently.

Once we got close enough we headed over more slowly and finally saw a massive figure holding a log. It’s getting difficult describing size with how big the enemies are getting. It would be simple enough to say it was obviously inspired by the Tetranadon from Monster Hunter, but about 4 times the size. There was no question that this was the King Gator, who I mistakenly thought of as King Croc in the dream. His head was way over the trees, and after staying still for a bit he threw the tree in his hand to the side as if it were weightless.

I wanted to leave the fight until the next dream so I could dedicate all of it to the fight, so I convinced Passenger that we should go back for now. It was not hard convincing him since he believed we needed more training before facing King Gator, so we went back to the town and told them the situation. With that description they agreed that he was known as King Gator and the leaders of the village wanted to help with our training to ensure our victory. The dream ended in the middle of the training.
