    Comp Night 1 - A Couple Fragments

    My recall and WBTB abilities have gone to shambles, just in time for the competition ...Actually, I noticed them deteriorating this past week, but I didn't expect it to get this bad.

    Dream #1 (Fragment, Non-Lucid):
    I was in my bed, trying to fall asleep. (A false non-awakening, as Harlequin calls it, but I think I'll call it a false falling-asleep.) A baldish 16-19 year old guy was standing at the foot of my bed, smiling at me. I assumed he was a really strong hypnagogic hallucination, and even though I was creeped out, I acted friendly to avoid any bad schema.

    He encouraged me to have a lucid dream, suggesting all sorts of techniques that I can't remember now. I said something like, "Don't forget about WILD," and he smirked confidently, walking closer.

    That's all I remember, which is a shame since I'm pretty sure the rest of the dream involved dragons. I knew I hadn't been waking up naturally most days this week, so the night before I set an alarm for 4:55, but I don't even remember hearing it; I was just suddenly awake and staring at my clock.

    I couldn't remember anything and spent the rest of the time trying to WILD, but I couldn't fall asleep. I would drift in and out every 5-15 minutes, though I must have been unconscious at some point because I had this dream.

    Dream #2 (Fragment, Non-Lucid):
    I was on a sandy beach in a videogame-like setting. I think I was running away from some responsibility.

    I came across a patch of sand with crabs and turtles and some other creatures scuttling around underneath. They would occasionally pop up to the surface before burrowing in again. The dream switched to third person, and when a red crab emerged from the ground, I smashed it with a wooden hammer, killing it.

    "Are you happy now?" I asked my mom. (I think it was her.)

    A rectangular floating box appeared, prompting me to place an important ID card(?) on top of the crab. I wondered if it was a good-Samaritan choice that would benefit me in the future, but I didn't want to risk it, so I scorned, "That's stupid, who would do that?" I was just hiding my uncertainty.

    There were some more turtles and crabs crawling around but I didn't kill them. I felt terrible. My dad started chasing me soon after.

    I didn't remember either of these fragments until brushing my teeth in the bathroom. I'm glad because it brings my score up from a 2... to a 3... I tried to take a nap after coming home from school but I couldn't fall asleep.

    Points:
    Remember a Non-Lucid Fragment (x2) - 1 point
    WBTB - 2 points
    Total: 3 points

      Good work staying calm with a bald guy staring at you, that sounds like it could have been a nightmare easily! My recall has felt really weak lately as well... I believe we can come back

      It was definitely creepy, but my dream self/subconscious is really good at avoiding scary things; I haven't had a nightmare since elementary school! Also, you've just come back from a trip, so I'm sure your recall will build back up eventually. As for me, I have no excuses, but today it was pretty good
