lucid

I’m in the back of Meadow main house at night. I approach a large rock and begin to lift upward. I become lucid. I fly toward the corner of the yard and notice a light on in Bud house. I decide to head into the room and explore the house a bit. I figure I’ll need to speed up quite a bit to not waste time and possibly destabilize. I imagine the window zooming toward me and me zooming toward it, and the distance closes rapidly. I phase though the glass, entering the home. I find myself in a fairly small bedroom and quickly shift into bird form. I fly around and notice that blue hue enveloping the entire room. I see a boy begin to enter the room, so I turn on invisibility. He doesn’t notice me, so I continue to fly toward the bed, landing on it briefly before exploring to the dresser to my left and beyond. I begin to head out of the room and begin to sense a maternal figure in the area below as I fly though the doorway, still in bird form. I head down the hallway and notice a dresser with some type of binder on top, fully opened. I notice what appear to be Magic cards inserted throughout the plastic pages. I float in front of the binder briefly, before turning toward the staircase, considering where to explore to next. I begin to wake up.

I ascend to the upper level of the home and the scene dims a bit. I walk forward and my awareness raises. I’m lucid. I feel like I want to travel back down to ground level and figure that phasing straight through a couple floors will be the easiest way. I phase my body into the floor, yet don’t pop out to the lower level; I seem to be…stuck fully in the floor. I phase back out and figure I’ll just explore a bit more. I head forward, yet begin to wake up.

1. The Chef
I’m walking with a group in a dim area and become lucid. I fly forward a bit in the dim area that looks somewhat like a theater and consider searching for dream characters. The dream dims rapidly and I begin to go to void. I stop and breathe slowly, getting a feel for my dream body and stabilizing. I get ready for teleport and begin waiting for a new scene. Soon, a small square window begins to form in the middle of my visual field. I see what appears to be the back of a vehicle forming and I grab on. I’m gripping the back of a large delivery truck as it heads down a road. I climb higher, yet there’s quite a bit of resistance. I reach the top and see several people sitting on top of several metallic sacks. I figure heading upward is a waste of time and I drift off and begin to fly toward the side of the road, beyond the car just behind the vehicle. There’s some type of shop area ahead and I fly into the walkway next to it. I pass by a rack of what appears to be herbs in small containers. I grab one to eat the contents, but figure it’ll taste nasty and simply put it back. I figure I’ll just look for a burger place instead; I’m a bit hungry. I fly up ahead a bit and see a few shops to the right. I curve into one of them. I hear sizzling and see a lady cooking some slices of meat on a skillet in an area set into the left side of the shop. I ask for a burger. She nods in agreement and begins to pull one up using a spatula. I begin to wake up.


2. Floating City Square
I’m talking to a fairly tall man outside of a tall building. I become lucid.
“We’re dreaming, man ” I tell him with a small as I put my hand forward, touching him and telling him to follow me. I see a lady on a phone and laugh, saying that there’s no need for it. I grab the phone, toss it, then grab the lady and fling her several hundred yards ahead, high into the sky. I then tk her back to the ground, placing her down where she was. She is highly translucent however. I head forward and I see the road fork to the left, leading to a wide road between tall tan buildings, and another section heads to the right - I head that way. The right path leads to an alcove with a small kitchen area. Light tan counters are situated on three of the walls comprising the kitchen perimeter, yet have somewhat of a bathroom counter type look. I enter and consider finding something eat. I see what appears to be a pepper shaker and figure I should basic summon something. I decide on a shampoo bottle due to the bathroom type feel. I turn yet don’t see anything. I leave the area and head down the main walkway down the left path. I begin to fly down, yet the dream begins to go to void. I hold my awareness, yet the dream begins to feel as though it’s waning.

Regained Lucidity.
I’m in a dim area next to somebody. I become lucid. I head forward in the room, yet the dream becomes dim once again.
Soon, I see some objects that appear to be palm trees. They comprise just the center of my visual field. Beautiful purples hues begins to fill in around the massive palm trees, as though it’s just past sunset. I begin to make my way into the scene and the visuals suddenly fill my entire visual field. The scene rapidly turn to daytime and I begin flying toward a floating stone platform. As I draw nearer, I notice that It appears to be a city center. I continue to fly steadily and begin to notice many small humanoids walking around the floating platform, milling around several structures, at least one pyramidal in shape. I float above the area, considering exploring, yet notice that there aren’t any interesting buildings to explore. I look below to ground level, sitting about one hundred yards below and notice that an entire town is beneath me. I figure there will be some interesting shops there. I begin to fly down to the town, yet wake up.

1. Restaurant
I walk with Aro to a lower area in the night. I become lucid. I see that there’s a restaurant area at the bottom of a small flight of steps. I feel happy to be lucid and I glance at several of the shops in the distance, just beyond the restaurant. There seems to be some type of game shop and a couple others that I can’t quite discern. I figure we can head there in a minute, but I want to check out the restaurant. I pat Aro on the back and tell him we can go in to get some food. I walk past a couple of booths to my left and see a waiter coming down the main walkway. I see a large man in a booth to my left eating some ribs and fries. I snap to go invisible, sit a cross from him and eat a couple of fries from the white plate. He doesn’t appear to notice me at all. I get up and sit at the empty booth just beyond and Aro follow me. There’s a plate of fries as well as a plate with a portion of a burger. I grab some ketchup and put it on the plate with the burger. I go to take a bite, yet wake up.


2. Gravity Flux
I’m in a very dim room and become lucid. I begin flying around and head toward a near wall, ready to teleport. I fly a bit further, yet feel that I’m waking up.

Regained lucidity
I’m standing on the upper walkway in main house Meadow, just next to the railing. This feels…dreamlike…nose pinch. I’m lucid. I fly over the railing and float down below. I head toward the front and head out into midday light. I look around, considering where I want to explore to. I figure I’ll explore a bit farther down to the right as I’ve been across the street quite a bit lately. I begin flying to the right, heading past Bud house. I notice that the next house is a bit closer than I remember it begging. I decide not to head into Bud house again, but to explore further down. I continue flying and head toward a building positioned much farther in the distance. As I fly, I hear a group of students participating in some type of sporting event. Bay seems to be leading them. I notice how long I”ve been flying and how stale everything feels. I figure some super speed will help me reach the building in time. I begin flying faster, yet not quite kicking into super speed gear. I reach the building quickly and notice a stainless steel sink with a faucet set into the side of the building. I may as well drink from it and get a few points. I turn on the faucet and drink a bit of water. I finally enter though the door and go into a fairly large rectangular room that appears a bit dingey. There’s an old, large couch to my right with smaller, single sofa seats on either side. Far down to the left, I see a couple large sets of metal shelving. I head into the center and raise my right and in front of me, grounding. I take a couple slow deep breaths before turning to the couches. I hoist the large couch up, but figure I could do that in waking life anyway. I then lift the entire couch with one arm. I back up and go for tk. I tk the large couch, but figure it’s not heavy enough to count for mass. I tk the additional two sofa seats, but know that it’s still only three. I head through the doorway and enter a larger room that extends far down to the left. I decide to basic summon a drink and see a vending machine in front of me. I imagine a Pepsi and as I look into the machine, I quickly spot one. I grab it, then follow the walkway and hear several people talking, as though there's gathering farther down. People begin talking about cancer, and explaining how certain depictions in the glass displays represent its progression. I find it a bit weird. I head a bit farther, grab one of the people, and fly farther down before dropping them off. I head farther into the room before turning right and heading toward what appears to be the receiving area of a large establishment. There’s another room farther down and some type of storage area to my right. I see a few cube shaped stacks of large sacks that appear to have some type of heavy, grain type material inside. I tk one, then another, then three to four more for a total of roughly six huge sacks. I let them drop and explore back toward the entrance. I see a small, closet shaped room next to the entryway. I enter and see a couple other people along with some type of arcade machine. I begin thinking of other control to play with and decide to shift gravity. I flip upward, then notice how I want everything in the room to shift. I focus, and suddenly, everything heads toward the ceiling, including the people and the machine. I revert gravity, and get ready to explore a bit more.

I walk away from the stone seats and head toward a grassy area to the left. I become lucid. I look to the near distance and see a lake stretching far back in the night. The top of the water is glistening under moonlight. I begin to think of some dream control and decide to invert and jump from one arm. I flip up into a one arm handstand and begin jumping up from the single arm. I repeat this several times before reverting to standing. I walk forward a bit toward the water and notice two small creatures. They appear to be miniature T-rexes. I go for TK and begin to lift both of them up. I then decide to play with adjusting size and focus on the one to the right. I begin enlarging it as it levitates in the air. I head forward a bit, yet the visuals begin to dim rapidly. I decide to go for a full phase to teleport. I head toward the wall to my right as the visuals darken more. Soon, I’m in void. I hold my awareness for a moment, yet the lucidity wanes as I think I’m waking up.

I head out from the bakery and make a right. I reach the edge of the mall area as I make my way down the main walkways, buildings on either side. I rise up and my lucidity raises. I see a massive brown mountain far in the distance, small bits of early morning light beginning to enter the otherwise dark scene. Scan tells me that the mountain is named Mt. Hirei. I feel a sense of awe and wonder taking on the scene. I feel a renewed sense of love for lucid dreaming. I turn from the mountain scene and back into the mall section of this mini city area. The donuts from the previous shop were pretty good, so I decide to find some more. I fly down the main walkway, passing several shops, looking for another bakery. I pass by a group of young guys.
“We’re dreaming, guys”. I finally find a shop to the to go t and enter, looking for donuts. I see several round pastries in a bin to the right, but they appear to be bagels. I look a bit more and soon spot a serving Sat on with a couple rows of fancy ice cream cones of various colors. A large employee begins to approach and I snap to go invisible. He walks straight past me. I grab one of the Interesting looking green cones and begin to look for ice cream. I then spit a coffee machine and grab a cup. I hit a button and coffee begins to come out, heading into the cup underneath. I grab the items and begin to fly off, back down the original walkway. As I had down, I view some of the establishments on my left side as I pass. A couple of them appear to be for financial purposes- possibly a loaning center and bank of some sort. I finally reach two escalators ima dim area. I think about how long th lucid has been as I ascend one. I notice that they’re running up at different angels. As I ascend one, it begins to curve around to the to right, outside of the main area, and into an open area suspended above a massive drop. It appears to be night time. I prepare to rise back into the main mall area, get begin to wake up.

1. Cavern Entry
I’m standing in the front of Meadow main house and become lucid. The front area is moderately lit, yet I can tell it’s night time.I begin flying upward and head toward the wall at the front of the house. I phase into it and go to void. I get ready to teleport. I stay in the void for a moment before seeing long rectangular sections appearing, as though they’re situated on the wall of a cave. I flip up onto one hand and spring off from the hand, returning to standing once again. I begin to move around a bit, then see an opening to a smaller chamber on the far end of the cave, as though it’s leading to a separate cavern. I begin to see light coming out from it. I begin rubbing the ground to stabilize. I fly toward the entrance, and as I curve left and enter, I see bright light spilling out through the large room inside. I transform into dragon form as I enter and begin flying above a miniature city. It appears to be built out of small, colorful blocks. As I approach more closely, I see that there are small figures situated throughout the small town, seemingly animals in humanoid form, yet still inanimate bocks. I turn from the area and enter a room to the right. Upon entering, I see several objects on counters to my left, spanning three walls of the room. To my right I see several appliances on shelves. I figure I’lll use some electronics and I approach a black appliance that looks somewhat like a humidifier, sitting on an upper shelf. I hit a small circular button. It lights up in blue and the machine revs up. I pick it up for a brief moment, pointing it a round before returning it. I head to the far end of the room and see a small area beyond with a counter in front a fridge to the right. I consider eating some coffee beans. I decide to basic summon something to eat first. I turn toward the fridge and decide to get some ice cream from a container like the one from a few nights ago. I open the top compartment, yet only find bread. I look below and find a black container of ice cream, just like the precious night. I take it out, scoop some out with my hand and eat it as I go to the front of the house. I consider what to do as I reach the front. I realize that I’m in Tur house. I stop near the front stairs and begin to practice Zazen. I then go for time dilation and begin to feel the sphere of expanding from me. I end the meditation after a short period and consider whether to head outside into the night, or stay in the house. I decide to stay inside as it’s a bit lighter indoors. I head back into the house, but begin to wake up.

2. Guide Search
I’m riding on the back of a vehicle during the day and become lucid. I fly upward a turn in the sky, seeing the vehicle with a flatbed in the back head down the road. I see several buildings on the side of the road, considering exploring them, yet turn toward the vehicle and Hookshot toward it instead. I zoom toward the back of the vehicle, several people sitting on the back. I finally reach the back and ride with the vehicle before booing off snd flying toward a building to the left with a yard to the side. I approach a large tree in the back of the yard and decide to search for my guide. I shift into dragon form and fly toward the tree before curving around to the opposite side. I see an interior section carved out and enter. There’s nobody inside, so I leave the area and head toward the structure at the side of the yard. I enter and make my way onto the room with various items ejects throughout. I decide to teleport and phase into the wall. I enter our, yet begin to wake up.

I’m at a long table with a group of people. This…looks like a dream…I’m lucid.
I stand up. “I’m lucid, guys”. I begin to fly away, but the visuals darken rapidly. I continue to raise, making sure that I”m still in flight. I figure I should phase and then teleport out. I soon find what appears to be a wall, yet there aren’t any visuals, so it’s difficult to tell. I go to void an imagine the next scene. I appear in a new area as lucidity wanes.

I’m talking to Bran in Meadow main house and he hands me his blue green guitar. The strings are torn up. Dream. Nose pinch. Breeeaathe. I look at the clock, then glance back. The numbers warble. I’m lucid. Competition Time. I walk to the far end of the kitchen and glance at the fridge. I may as well eat something. I open the fridge, deciding to use electronics - possibly turning on extra light. I tap the interior of the right door, yet nothing happens. I look at the upper shelf as lights pour out from the fridge. I see a tub of ice cream and grab it, quickly turning away from the fridge and heading back across the kitchen. I don’t bother to get a utensil and simply scoop it out with my hand and eat it. It’s pretty good - similar to a cookies and cream flavor. It’s kind of nasty that I’m eating it with my hand, but…whatever. I consider phasing into the wall, then teleporting, yet the visuals begin to fade. I run into the wall right as the dream goes to void. I hold my awareness, imagining a scene with crystalline structures appearing.

Regained Lucidity
I’m in a dim area that resembles an office. This feels…dream-like. Nose pinch. Breathe. I’m lucid.
I consider what control to use next and quickly flip into a one arm handstand to use super strength. I begin jumping up and down using the one arm. I stand back up and walk forward. I sense some type of figure running ahead in the next room and curving around the corner. I spot his shadow. I pursue him, imagining going into ninja mode, sprinting forward. I decide to go for full transformation. I shrink and turn into a flying creature, somewhat resembling a bat. I feel that the shape isn’t quite accurate, so I go for dragon form. I expand and begin flapping my wings. I look into the door to see my shadow and see the massive dragon head in shadow. I then revert to humanoid form and fly into the hallway to my right.
As I head around the corner I see a couple of metal filing cabinets situated against the right wall. I go for a full phase. I walk into the front of the first cabinet and pop out through the side. I then repeat it on the next filing cabinet to make sure I did it perfectly. I then walk down the hallway a bit farther and decide to practice some zazen. I sit down in meditation posture and begin focusing on the far wall. I stabilize my awareness for a moment and breath. I get up after a few seconds to ensure everything stays stable. I head toward the door, yet the dream goes to void. I hold my awareness, imagining appearing in Nervaru Forest. After a short moment, I appear in a sprawling, partially outdoor area with massive concrete structure throughout. It appears to be some type of city center an many people are milling around. Large concrete pillars with golden orbs on the ends are protruding from the ground as well as descending form the ceiling. I heart to a raised platform, up a small walkway. I see a female dreamling, pick her up with one hand, and fly her to a lower level, dropping her off. I then ascend to another raised area and see a smug looking guy with sunglasses walk toward me and I tap him on the side of the head, laughing. I head down a bit farther, repeating “I'm dreaming…I’m dreaming” a couple times.
I decide to hit the mass tk for the third 3-step. I look toward several of the golden orbs with square concrete slabs attached. I move one of them across a ceiling area, then another, then another. I decide to tk a much larger object, so I turn to my left and quickly spot a massive golden orb with a square concrete block attached. I begin moving it from roughly twenty yards away, and it picks up momentum. I hurl it about twenty yards to the right and it smashes into structure in the center of the city area.

Summer Competition 2024 - Night 14

1. The Late Alley (LD)
I continue swimming underwater and soon break the surface. I become lucid. I look around, noticing that it's night time and head toward the shore. Once on the beach, I look on either side of me and notice interesting stone structures with cream coloring. The one to my left captures my attention as it has an arced balcony on an upper portion with small statues lining it, appearing almost like small cupid figures. It has somewhat of an eerie feel to it due to the reddish glow emanating throughout it, yet it's captivating nonetheless. There are glowing reddish letters toward the top and I have the feeling that it's some type of lunge. I see several people standing on the edge, all of which are seemingly female attendants of some sort. I approach a lower stone ledge and climb on top, beginning to think about what I want to do as I climb across. I really like the area and figure I'd want to come back. I sense that mom is behind me, so I ask what they name of the place is.
Mom: "Late PM Alley". I find the name interesting and draw closer to the attendants, noticing that they're wearing black formal wear. I approach one of the attendants on the right and notice she's wearing a mask.
"Do you need to be wearing this?" She looks at me.
Girl: "Yes"
I simply let it go and ask if I can pass. She lets me and I begin walking. The dream begins to go to void. I hold my awareness, ready for a new scene. I soon find myself standing next to a one story home on the edge of a large waterway between what appears two sections of homes. On the far right, the homes are enormous; they're several stories tall and have intricate, high tech structures on the outside. One home contains a massive blue and silver orb, the function of which I'm not quite sure. I look beyond and see a massive tribal looking structure in the back right, standing several stories tall. As I turn back to the mansions, the structure appears to change somewhat and there now appear to be rollercoaster behind them. I continue to float down to the right, exploring boardwalk area on the edge of the water. I haven't really done any control yet...I should do something. I see a large piece of machinery ahead of me and go for TK, yet it just wobbles a bit before I turn to my right. I quickly see a large, pink spotted animal figurine appearing like it's right out of a carnival. I extend my arm and TK it up with ease. I make my way down to the right, thinking of finding some warglaives. I imagine the base of the blades, yet don't find anything right away. I decide to basic summon something to eat and float over to a shack area on the edge of the water I float up to the window and snap to go invisible. I see a lady working inside as I float through the window. I continue to make my way around to the back, undetected, and look for some hotdogs. I quickly find a couple of paper plates and reach for them. As I focus more, there now appear to be two small hamburgers on the nearest plate. I continue to look, willing them to change back to hotdogs. They quickly revert and I grab the plate. I begin grabbing ketchup and putting it on as well. The lady looks in my general direction and pushes a plate forward. I take a bite and its great! The flavor is accurate I begin floating out of the store. I wake up.


2. Warglaives And Temple Ruins (LD)
I continue to put the sandwich together on the sidewalk. I'm lucid. I see that it's late in the evening and I'm outside of some type of shop. The sandwich looks pretty good so I figure I may as well finish making it and eat it anyway. There's not a top bun, but I don't mind.No summoning, but I'll just do that later. I put some type of condiment on the patty which seems like some type of fried fish and take a bite. It's really good! I walk over to my right and notice some type of small tent with a conical gray top, appearing like an outdoor seating area of some type of cafe. I enter and notice Anth sitting next to mom. I may as well interact a bit. I grab a couple of books off of the table and turn to Anth who has a stack in his lap already. I place mine on top.
"Here you go!" He looks up at me with a smile. I start heading off and notice that the sandwich isn't completely filling my mouth as usual. I notice I actually feel hungry. Maybe having some dream food will actually make that go away for a bit. I continue down the sidewalk at a faster pace and notice a young man sitting at a circular table, seemingly finished with his plate of food as he reads something near his lap. I see a small portion of his burger left, so I grab it off the plate mid-run and begin eating it - he doesn't seem to mind. I begin to think of what I want to do next and run through some control in my mind. I don't clearly see any good options for TK so I decide to play with gravity a bit. I turn toward the tall, light blue wall to my left and slowly place my feet toward the bottom. As I step forward, I mentally begin rotating gravity 90 degrees and find myself standing with the wall now flat, the rest of the dream rotated. I get back down shortly, reverting the dream and jogging toward a couple of young kids at the edge of the walkway. I see a large blue desk to my right and quickly 'wall-run' up it, rotating gravity before landing and reverting once again. Super strength time. I run up to the kid and kick him about ten away and five feet up and zip around the corner. I should at least heal the DCs. I turn, seeing if he's busted up, but he and his friend seem fine. I extend a hand for heal, but they don't seem to need it. That won't count. I continue to run down to the right and see that the path now diverge around a large ovular opening in the center. It remind me a bit of some of the airships in warcraft. I head around the right side, looking for some weapons. Maybe I can find a warglaive. I head pass a desk to my right, not finding them right away, and continue to jog around the walls to the right edge of the room and notice some toy swords. Nice - that will count for the theme. I don't want to wield any of them, however as they're small wooden swords. As I progress, the swords gradually become more realistic with the shape and become larger as well. As I continue around the back and toward the opposite side, they slowly become metal, with larger blades. The ones on the far end seem to have glowing edges. I already have one, so there's really no point in getting another. I make way way farther down and enter a room to the right with some people gathering around a table to the left with some items on it. I'm not interested, so I begin leaving. I male begins calling after me, explaining that they're not finished and they need to do some alcohol tasting. I may as well see what they're up to. I enter and begin to think about how long the dream has been. I should dilate time a bit. I begin meditating and float up a bit. I begin to freeeze the scene mentally and everything stops. I feel about being in stasis, in this state of consciousness for a long time. I don't notice and frost around the periphery of my vision, but I come out of meditation and the dream action continues as normal. I approach a large pot in center with may items simmering inside. It appears to be some type of soup. I'll try to change everything to...potatoes. I focus for a bit, yet nothing alters. I go for color next. I look at one of the large cubes and change the color to green. Nice! I look at another, goin for blue. I only get small portions at first, before saying 'blue' loudly at forcefully, yet not getting a perfect response. I then try a calm, patient tone. It quickly changes entirely to blue. Awesome! I guess that's the trick for me.I notice that the female to my right looks like Han, so I pick her up and give her a big hug and kiss. We hug for a moment, but I don't want to risk destabilizing the dream at all. I turn and exit the room. I should look for some warglaives again. I approach a small kiosk just outside the doors. I anticipate finding some warglaives on the walls. I notice small, plastic looking halves of the glaives. I turn to the woman
"Do you have any warglavies?"
Lady: "I think we may have some in the backroom". She looks to the other side of the room, seemingly ready to look in that area.
I continue to look on the wall and soon find larger halves of the blades, made of metal. I then see figurines who appear to be demons wielding the blades. Finally, I find a fairly large, silver-gray warglaive. I pick it up with excitement.
Nice! My personal goal! I continue to walk down the nearby corridor with it, yet the dream begins to go to void. I maintain awareness and imagine a new scene forming. I soon see pillars of some type of ruins appearing in the far distance, a red color emanating from between them, and float off toward them. I get the feeling that there's some type of fire nearby and a portion of the temple area is collapsing. I think about how long I've been dreaming and how my attention is sustained throughout the states. I begin to think of omnis as well. I begin to encourage myself to dream for very long periods of time.
"Eric, dream all night". I say a few times, mentally conceptualizing what it would be like to stay lucid in the dreamworld for massive periods of time. I float up to and past a few of the pillars of the temple ruins and carve to the right. I get ready for super speed, but don't a a straightaway. I go up to some massive stone pillars and knock on down with a sold bunch. I begin reaching the edge of the temple and a slope which heads down a hillside to an area below. i go for fireball, yet don't see anything very clearly. I reach the bottom and a guy begins grabbing at my feet in somewhat of a mindless state. I kick him off hard and continue to the bottom of the hill area. The scene becomes quite dim as I make my way around a large strucutre that seems like some type of unoccupied vehicle. I Wake up.

1. The Temple (LD)
I'm aware as I'm looking at a tan an orange, stone structure to my left. It has a stone archway on the top portion and seems to lead to some type of open area underneath. I hear a male's voice in the distance and I wonder if I'm getting some input from waking life - I simply turn my attention away from it. I can't move at first, yet relax and begin floating upward into the scene. It's daytime and I see a bit of vegetation beneath me. I look ahead and see a large structure made of tan stone. The architecture is quite rigid; it contains all right angles with large, flat surfaces. I float up to an upper ledge, grab it, and hoist myself up. I stop and raise my hand out in front of me. I take a slow, deep breath, grounding. I walk forward around the edge of a large stone wall and begin thinking about control. I'll try a bit of transformation... I haven't done that in a little while. I shrink down to mouse form, yet feel that the limbs aren't 100%. I readjust, but want to try another form.. I revert to humanoid form then shrink down to cat form. I feel it's quite accurate, down to the curve in the spine, which I accentuate a bit as I walk. I turn toward a stone bridge leading to another large section of the temple structure and catch my cat reflection to the side. I begin to revert to humanoid as I walk across. I see a large humanoid shadow as I walk across. I reach the the next portion and begin to float to an upper portion. I wake up.


2. Sides Of Glass (LD)
I'm sitting at a long table, with several people who appear to be eating. My awareness stirs. ...Dream?.... I become lucid. I stand up and float to the other side of the room, ignoring the group. I enter another room which is much larger and seems to have seating around the perimeter. Sunlight pours in through the long glass windows to the left portion of the room. Hmmm...what should I do? I think of element manipulation and as I raise my right arm. It's glowing in a dark purple color, appearing like dark smoke. I go to cast a shadow bolt, yet only see faint wisps stream out. I see that the glass walls to my left are quite thick and I decide to play with phasing. I slowly phase my body through, noticing how the visual field warbles as my head passes through the glass. I look down at my limbs, making sure they all pass through, then phase back in slowly. I then see a massive TV mounted on the far wall. It's roughly five feet tall and twelve feet wide. Suddenly, I feel a strong pinch in my foot - it actually hurts a bit. I notice that there's a young kid kneeling down in the area, seemingly doing something.
"You need to stop doing that".
He looks up at me, then seems to continue. I then feel a pinching in my ear. What's causing that?
I think of super strength as I turn back to the TV, lift the entire thing off and let it drop down on the kid, pinning him to the floor.
"Will you stop now?"
I lift it back off and then chuck it across the room. The kids simply walks away. I float back through the glass, ready to explore outside. I notice a long cliff face in the near distance and green grass in bright daylight. I fly upward, ready to cast more elements. I cast my arm forward, going for fireball, yet don't see anything appear.
The dream seems to destabilize a bit, so I decide to teleport quickly. I raise my right arm, yet the portal bracelet isn't fully formed. I fly to my right, casting into the wall. I see a slight bit of an undulating effect in the wall and fly right in. I continue to walk forward as I visualize Silvermoon. I wake up.


Bow, Arrows, and Bears (NLD)

I'm looking at a structure that appears to be traditional Japanese architecture with an open concept in the center. There's a massive bear-type creature in the front, facing toward me with a menacing grow. I begin to raise my bow. I see another large white bear behind it and take aim. I fire an arrow at it and see it stream to the right of the body. I fire another and see it head toward the front left leg. I can't tell if it sank in, and I continue to look. I wonder if that'll neutralize it.

Summer Competition 2024 - Night 11

1. The Firework Sky (LD)
Where am I? I look around and see that I'm in a dim garage and begin to recognize it. San house, Meadow...I'm dreaming. I'm lucid. I head forward in the garage and float through the garage door. I begin thinking of the layout of Meadow in this area and head right, floating across the street. I head onto a driveway and look up at the night sky. I soon see a firework explode in the sky, casting green and pink light from its center. I then see another go off farther to the right. Just like earlier in the month. I look down the street again and see a couple of figures walking toward me. I snap to go invisible and head toward the street without them seeing me. I see another figure standing in the far distance, faint purple light glowing in the distance. The scene at the end of the road looks very surreal. I begin to run toward him, deciding to explore down there, then go for super speed. There's no distance...it's just an image. I suddenly zoom rapidly toward the destination. The figure is no longer there, yet I find myself in the middle of a three-way intersection among a few houses I'm interested in exploring. I see one to the right with lights on and an older couple sitting in a front room. I head farther left and decide to head into a slightly larger house with a brown exterior. I see a family at a dining table in a dining room to the back, having a late dinner apparently. I snap to go invisible and phase through the front window. They continue to talk, yet don't see me as I walk inside and head to the right. I may as well get something to eat. I head to the left, wondering if the kitchen will be there - I figure it must be as there wasn't much else to the right. I enter a large room at the left wide of the house with dark wooden cabinets situated around the walls. There's a large over in the center. I quickly find a small area in the right with many cabinets and figure it must be where they stock food. I find a several boxes and decide on a box of cookies as well as a cookie cereal. I head out through a side door and continue out by the side of the house in the night. I go to open the box of cookies and hope it's not too hard considering the plastic wrap. I try to tear it, yet don't have any success. I look on the ground, find a sharp stick, then pierce the plastic. I notice that inside there are just large brown sheets, about half an inch thick. I continue to walk toward the street as I take a bite, yet it just tastes like cardboard. I go to spit it out and walk a bit farther, yet I wake up.

2. Matcha (LD)
This looks dreamlike...nose pinch, I'm lucid. Thought so. I'm standing in a bedroom in Meadow main house. I turn and phase through the bedroom door and head down the walk way. I fly over the railing and decide to get a drink before exploring the front. I'll have a matcha this time. I enter the kitchen, expecting a matcha latte being in the fridge to the right when I open it. I find it immediately on a shelf, grab it, and begin to head to the front of the house. I want to check that it's accurate, so I look inside and notice that the drink is a light green. Perfect. I head to the front and phase through the front doors. I just had some caffeine, so maybe my awareness will... I look up and the dream is highly vivid, along with a stable awareness. Awesome. I continue to walk down the walkway, heading right, considering where to explore. I wake up.

3. Meditation Above The Town (LD)
I'm standing in a dim room. This seems like a dream. I'm lucid. I nose pinch and begin to look around. I see someone in bed and I sense that it's Bran. I stop, put my arms in front of me, and ground, taking five slow deep breaths. My awareness becomes more stable. I decide not to interact and to simply explore the area. I phase through the wall to my right and find myself flying high above in what appears to be an old town. It's daytime and I notice the buildings are all constructed from dark brown brick. The architecture seems more western European. I consider some goals and decide to go for phoenix. I raise my arm for the phoenix gauntlet, yet don't see it. I cast my arm forward and see a faint, large shadowy bird appear in the far distance, yet it's not very defined. I continue to fly, and look for the ring of elements, yet I don't have it on. I decide to go for some ice anyway. I cast my arm and see some snow flurries around my field of vision. I fly down and look over to the green hills to my right, noticing some small structures. I try to determine if any of the buildings seem to be reserved for me as in past lucids - nothing appears to be though. I feel this would be a cool place to come back to. I fly to the center of the town and decide to play around with gravity. I put a foot on the lower edge of a massive building, then flip gravity 90 degree. I see top edge of the building in the far distance and zoom across it, rapidly reaching the upper ledge. I flip gravity upright once again and reach the roof. I head to the far end and look around. I'll try time dilation and element manipulation. I sit on the edge and meditate for a moment. I then push the time sphere outward and contract it back inward - it's invisible this time. I then imagine the scene freezing over and I see shards of ice scatter on the periphery of my visual field. I stand up as things feel a little less stable, and I head to my left. I see a tree a consider ripping the entire thing out. The dream seems to be fading, so I drop down and begin rubbing the floor. I continue for a while, then head forward and tear the tree out. I could probably do that in real life though... I continue to rub as I visualize a scene. I soon see an image of my own face. I hold my awareness for a bit, then wake up.


Katana Wall (NLD)
I'm with a Anth and some other people in a large, rectangular, dim room. He's talking and we all look at a wall to our left. It has various art items, several of which seem to be in the shape of katanas. They're black with some reddish etchings on them. I head away from the wall and see that there are spots on either side of the room where seats used to be inserted. I see the anchor areas where the seats where, as in a car, and the felt depressions with metal in the area. I notice that almonds are scattered around the one to the right. I'm a bit embarrassed at first as I wonder if it was me who did that. I then think that it's Anth's spot so it must be his mess; apparently he likes almonds. I head back to the wall and find a large, curved scimitar. I pick it up off the wall and draw then blade. It's fairly thin and sharp. I show it to ant and begin to ask about a metal connection piece in the center which appears like a part that connects pipe. He explains it a bit more.

Luna Rose

Night 10
I'm walking in a dim area. Wait... this is a dream! I begin to walk forward a bit more, but lose lucidity.

Night 11
I continue sitting at the table with several people, eating a wedding cake. Wait...we already had our wedding...this is a dream! I begin to walk off from the table, but wake up

Summer Competition 2024 - Night 10
I'm lucid, standing next to a bed with a circular blue and silver item in my hand. Time to engage I continue to walk out of the room, focusing intently on the dream content. The dream stabilizes as I approach the main walkway of the second floor - I recognize it as the main house in Meadow. I float over the railing toward the upper window, yet gravity tugs me down. It's daytime and quite a bit of sunlight is pouring through the glass windows in the front of the house. I decide to just do a phase through the front door and possibly fly later. I go right through and begin to go for a transformation. I've been doing that a lot lately...I'll do some other control. I turn right and begin heading down the walkway and think of summoning a phoenix. I take in the surrounding and appreciate how vivid everything is; it feels just like waking life. I feel like this one could last a while. I raise my right arm for the phoenix gauntlet, yet only see a faint outline. I wave my arm to summon it, yet don't see it where I intend.I'll just keep exploring and it'll probably show up. I continue to walk down the driveway and as I reach the bottom, be begin to float upward to transform in to a phoenix. I wake up.

DEILD - (felt more like a full WILD, but counting as DEILD)

I'm lucid in an area next to some large brick buildings. It's some type of lot with quite a few people gathered ahead in front of what appears to be the entrance to the building. I begin engaging immediately, walking forward and taking in the surroundings. I continue forward and notice two females who appear to be adversaries, facing toward me, ready for a battle.. One in front seems to have some type of blade. I reach to my side and raise two small katanas. I chuck them one at a time toward the figure in the distance, yet both curve and miss. She throws a blade toward me, yet I dodge it as well. I decide to use a ninja star. I reach down, grab one and chuck it as well, yet miss once again. Time for TK I walk forward, raise my right arm, and lift her about three stories in the air before slamming her back down, knocking her out. I turn right to the other opponent. I lift her up and chuck her about twenty feet, knocking her out as well. I begin to fly toward the entrance of the building, ready to explore. I enter the front doors and notice that it appears like a hotel lobby. I head to the right, approaching a guy in a black stuit working behind the main desk. He grins at me. I begin to hear my own breathing and noitce that it sounds louder than usual as I have earplugs in. I know I need to refocus on the dream or I'll risk waking. I focus my attention fully, and appreciate how viivd the scene is. I turn from the guy and explore toward a back room. I enter and it appear to be the convenience store part of the hotel. There are candy type items all around the perimeter in small containers. I look around, then notice someone who appears like a family friend. She smiles and I give her a hug. I begin to head out, then realize I should eat something for the competition! I head back in and look around the boxes in the back. I see twizzlers, but I don't want any. I decide on the the sour patch sour sticks, containing about three flavors. I head back out to the lobby and continue down the hallway. I hope this will be easy to open... I tear the plastic and bite into it. The flavor is great with strong sweet and sour notes! I continue to float down the hallway, thinking of what to do next. I see some thick plastic sheets hanging in the room in the far back of the first floor. I phase through the front portion, heading behind the hotel. I wake up.

Summer Competition - Night 9

1. Mall Balcony (LD)
I'm in what seems to be a mall thinking about states of consciousness, especially, LDing. I turn to Bran and become lucid. I tell him to check out what I'm going to do. I fly upward toward a walkway a couple stories above with a railing on the edge. As I fly, it seems as though I'm not making progress at the midway point. Time for hookshot.I raise my right arm and fire a hookshot to the upper rail. I immediately zoom up to it and float over. I notice dad far down tot he left and fly over to him.
"Hey dad." I look down at my hands, breathing slowly, grounding. I wake up.

Record - Back to Sleep.
2. Mall Walkway (LD)
I'm in a mall walking in a central area.
"This is a dream...This is a dream...This is a dream." My hands come out in front of me as I become lucid.
"I'm lucid". I turn left, considering some control. I see a large metallic kiosk and figure I may as well do some super strength. I pick the whole thing up and chuck it down the central walkway of the mall. I then turn right and see a guy in a suit working behind a counter area. I decide to interact, so I float over to him and adjust his bowtie, laughing. I then decide to use invisibility to steal the gold pin he's wearing. I snap, go invisible, and snatch it easily - the man looks past me as I do so. I come out of invisibility and place it back into his hand, laughing. I float off farther down the central walkway and take in the sites of the shops to the side. I go for some time dilation and begin to levitate. I imagine the scene freezing over and see a bit of vague frost over the edge of my field of vision. I imagine the dream freezing in time. I stand back up and float farther down, going for fireball. It doesn't cast right away, so I look at my right hand for the ring of elements and see it on my index finger. I then go to cast fireblast, yet don't have any luck. I continue to float forward to a room toward the edge of the mall. Several people are gathered, especially in an area to the left which drops down slight via a couple of stairs - they appear to be playing instruments. I explore toward the back and notice a large black double door in a dim area. I begin to feel the dream may be fading. I turn back from where I came, exploring in that area. Once again, I find a double door to the left in a dim area. I begin to imagine that it's daytime beyond. As I turn, the whole area seems to dim. I imagine a light turning on in front of me and begin to see a white light appearing in the walkway in front of me, illuminating around it. The dream rapidly fades, however, and I wake up.

Record - Back to Sleep

3. Hotel Room (LD)
I'm in a bathroom for a solid two to three minutes, thinking about dreams and noticing my dream signs. I think that with practicing heightened awareness, I may be able to notice more. I look around. Where the heck am I?? I feel a bit of concern and stand up.
Nose pinch. I'm lucid. I begin thinking about what I'd like to do and phase into the door to my right. The dream quickly goes to void. I start rubbing around in the void for a while, waiting; I'm unsure if I'm going to wake up and I'm trying to prevent it. I soon find myself on the floor of a hotel room, right in front of a queen bed. I stand, walk over to the sheets, and pull them back. I notice it's Han. I give her a big hug. I soon wake up.

Summer Competition 2024 - Night 8

1. Chilling On The Roof (LD)
I continue to fly alongside the edge of some large properties. I become lucid as I turn toward a home in the far distance. I’ll explore a bit. It’s night and continue to fly toward the house, windows illuminated in dim yellow light. I finally reach the home and phase through a back door. Once inside, I hear a family having a conversation in the back area. I approach and snap to go invisible. I see two daughters and mother seemingly cooking dinner - they’re standing around a central island and seem to be engaged in tasks while having a conversation. They look right past me and I decide to use some dream control to easily phase through them. I close my left fist in front of me and imagine it charging with energy. I phase straight through the two sisters without them detecting anything, handing a left and continuing into a back area. I find myself in a quite large pantry with wooden shelves. I look around a bit and see many cabinets throughout as well as shelves stocked with various containers of food. I continue to explore the cabinets, looking for something to eat, yet only find boxes of what appears to be pasta and other non-perishables I’m not entirely interested in. I finally look at a bottom shelf and find a stack of what appear to be fig newtons. I figure they look pretty good and I grab the box as the younger sister comes in. I simply avoid her, walk out and head to the stairs. I phase through a large glass portion of the outer wall - essentially a massive window - as I reach the mid point of the stairs and head out onto a shingled portion of the roof. I see several people down below in what appears to be an upscale alleyway. One of them seems to look up briefly in my direction as I sit down and take a bite of the fig newtons. I bite in and they’re really good. I think of just staying put and chilling in dreams as well as how long I can hang out here. I should probably say grace. I close my eyes for a moment and wake up.

2. The Bar (LD)
I’m walking in what appears to be a mall and turn toward the entryway of a store. I look inside and see an interested painting with orange hues and figure it would be cool for a chill spot. I walk inside and become lucid. The room seems to extend down to the right and it looks a bit like a bar. I begin to consider some dream control as I walk toward the bar area. I walk up to a guy who’s seated with his laptop and decide to use some electronics. I grab his mouse, move the cursor to some icons at the bottom, and click on a reddish orange one that looks somewhat like a fox head. Nothing happens. I decide to move on quickly and turn to see two large gray pieces of machinery - possibly a large ATM and another device. I grab one large piece of machinery and throw it. Hmm what was the order of the three step I posted last night again? I head toward a large contraption and phase through, avoiding a partial phase on the smaller one. I begin to think of my three step and begin to remember TK. I look at the far end of the bar area and see several pieces of what appear to be exercise equipment. I go for TK on a slightly smaller piece and it bobs back and forth a bit, yet quickly switch to the larger piece. I quickly raise it up to the ceiling and let it drop back down. I turn back toward the bar and


3. Playgrounds & Pizzerias (LD)
I continue to drive with the two guys, talking about the space travel we’re going to embark on. We turn to head toward a small bridge and I’m become lucid. I begin thinking about what I’m going to do and the awareness wanes for a short moment. I focus my awareness and the scene comes back into view. I fly up out of the car which seems to be a convertible and down the street. I notice a massive fire hydrant to my right, roughly twice the height and twice the diameter of a normal hydrant. I go for super strength, smashing my knee into it and bending the entire thing into the ground. I then begin considering my three step. My order was off in the last lucid…I need to start with transformation. Mid flight, I turn toward a nearby sign and shapeshift to crow form. It’s quite accurate and I feel very satisfied with how it feels. I approach the sign and phase straight through the center. I revert to humanoid form and face some playground equipment situated to the left. I look at a smaller piece at first before focusing on the larger one behind. I quickly lift he huge piece with TK and begin moving it rapidly to the right, some ten meters in the air. I move it in front of a few kids in the distance before flinging it to the right. I continue to float forward and turn toward a seating area nearby to the right. I see Jay and the other kid I was riding with. They’re sitting on a bench in an area which seems to have woodchips to walk on. I begin to think of Lunar’s guide from the previous night and asking persistent characters to remind you that you’re dreaming. I turn toward Jay.
“From now on, when we’re together in dreams, just remind me I’m dreaming so we can continue doing things in lucids.” He nods at me with understanding. I turn toward the other friend and reiterate the point before drilling it in once again with the pair. I turn from them and consider ways in which to score more points - I run through the competition list in my mind. I’ll do some basic summoning and eating. I head toward the brick wall in front of me, yet opt for a phase though the somewhat opaque, orange tinted window as I don’t want to risk going to void. I find myself in a somewhat dim restaurant with a long, dark wooden table to my right, several kids eating a meal of bread and some other times. I snap to go invisible, then reach forward. They look right through me and I grab the smaller item on the plate in front of me, unnoticed. I bite into it - it tastes like pumpernickel bread with some type of cinnamon butter - it’s pretty good. I should still do some summoning. I head toward the room beyond thinking of something to summon when I notice several chefs working in what appears to be a kitchen area. To the left, I see a fairly long stainless steel storage section with pizzas being heated up inside. There are two types to choose from, one containing pepperoni. I think of Sensei heading to pizza shops in Zodra and figure I’ll give it a shot in Nervaru. I gran one of the slices which seems like it’s an ‘extra cheese’ slice. I begin to walk to a nearby seat, yet take a bit as I want to make sure I fit it in. The taste is great and quite accurate as well. I take a seat and soon wake up.
