Non-Dream Nightmare Dream Lucid Dream Lucid Nightmare

I was at my old summer camp at a school which I accepted as "my high school". It was quite strange; when I arrived, I took a small tour around the school and was taken to the summer camp where I watched a boring movie with some friends for what seemed like a few seconds. I walked away because it was so boring and I found a mermaid or something in a puddle of water on the floor.

Suddenly, I was flying extremely quickly over a sea of water while being chased by some sort of a demon; I believe it looked like a headless bear. There was something else it was chasing at the same time that I apparently was friends or something with: it was some sort of an orb of light that died when I died and vise versa. I had to rescue it from the bear and rescue myself. Eventually I just grabbed it and sped away, and I was back in the hallway where I saw the mermaid.

I realized that the whole "being chased by a headless bear demon while protecting a glowing thing" was fairly odd, so I had a suspicion that it might have been a dream. Sure enough, when I plugged my nose, I could breathe through it, and I became lucid. I got up and walked around for a while, rubbing my hands and performing an RC every now and then, before I saw a random guy. I decided I would test my skills on him and try to make him say "Hey, I like cake!". And it worked.

I realized it was probably time to go (in the dream plot), so I went to the bus. I then realized I forgot my stuff, so I dashed back inside to get it. I might have temporarily lost lucidity there, but I don't remember where I got it back (I had it back at the end for sure though). I couldn't make my way back to the room with the movie, though, so I eventually just got on a bus and took it home. I had a conversation with a DC about LDing, which he seemed fairly interested in (no duh).

The bus didn't get off at my house, though. It got off in the middle of a mall. I decided that this would be a great place to test out the dream world, so I decided to jump through a glass window in to a dark store. The glass shattered and I felt no pain, and I was on the floor of the shop. There was an ornate black table inside along with fancy pieces of velvet and various porcelain sculptures of people who looked suspiciously as Shakespeare. I thought it was a fairly odd shop when I woke up (and it wasn't a false awakening).

Lucid Dreaming Competition

I have fuzzy memories of participating in a competition about lucid dreaming. I was able to get to second place, but I couldn't get to first. Why I entered and what it was actually about (the one part I can remember was the person in second place telling me that he knew everything or something) is a mystery to me, I just knew that I was in a "lucid dreaming competition". If only I knew that I was in a "lucid dream" instead, though it would have been fuzzy anyway.

TLoZ+Board Game=DJ Entry

My first dream of the night was some sort of an odd combination of a Legend of Zelda game and a board game. A lot of it I cannot remember; I remember snippets of the Legend of Zelda part (the first half) and the general idea of the boring board game part (the second half). The first half compromised of a few groups of my friends from my old school completing various TLoZ-like dungeons at the same time. The board game was, of course, boring. I just moved around on checkerboard-esque tiles surrounded by various walls. Even in the DREAM I was bored.

Minecraft Village Hike

In the second dream I recalled, I was hiking through the forest trying to lead a group of Testificates (Minecraft villagers that look like land-based cave squidwards) back to their village before nightfall. Eventually, I made it back and they told me of a rival village nearby. I decided to go back through the woods and look at it. It surprised me that the inhabitants of it were more like humanoid fish than something from Minecraft; they looked more like the Fish Paladin enemies from Dungeons of Dredmor. I began to explore the village; it was very small. At this point I began to think that the fish village wasn't so bad, but I woke up before I had a chance to become lucid.

Magic School

Unfortunately, this had much more "school" than "magic" in it. Either way, it was the end of class and I was fooling around with my friends from my old school. Out of nowhere, one of them got sick. For some reason, that caused one of my friends to go play a game on a computer while the rest (except for the sick one) watched. Somehow, I decided that I would buy a magic scroll on my iPad so I could heal my sick friend. I placed the order, and I found that some odd plastic and metal object was in my hands (it did strike me as strange in the dream but I didn't do an RC). I assumed it was a scroll, since I had remembered seeing a similar object carried by one of my friends. I went over to the sick friend and tried to cast the spell, but two things stopped me: one, he had cured himself with a scroll of his own and I had no idea how to actually cast the scroll (which I promptly forgot about). I went over to watch my friends who were playing the game, which looked fairly sporadic and strange. It looked like one big cutscene, except there was no connection from one event to the next. I decided that I would try to cast the spell on the characters in the game just for kicks when I woke up. Moral of the story: Magic scroll salesmen have really good service.
