lucid

I'm aware as I'm on the couch in Syrano. I stand up and begin to walk, yet the dream feels a bit hazy. I go to fly, yet feel a heavy gravitational pull. I make my way around the couch an float upward a bit, heading down the hall. I feel the dream is destabilizing, so I drop down and begin to rub the ground in circles with my hands and legs. I maintain for a moment, hoping that the dream will simply continue, then feel that a new scene is about to form. I soon find myself in a large grassy yard in the daytime. There's a brown fence in the distance and the area looks somewhat similar to the yard behind Meadow main house. I float toward the fence, happy to be lucid. I fly upward, curve to the right and see a brick structure in the distance, slightly to the left of the Dark Woods. I fly in its direction and see there's a space between two structures. I fly through and enter a large outdoor area, between several large brick structures in what appears to be a slightly urban area with some type of mini resort to the right. As I do so, the song Sunflower begins playing and I feel a sense of energy and happiness just exploring the lucid environment. I begin thinking about practicing some dream control. I see a balcony on a building to the right that appears to have palm trees and a lounge area. I decide to fly down toward it, then quickly phase through the wall and enter a large room that appears to be a classroom. I land and quickly do a transformation to a mouse, then revert to humanoid form. I begin thinking about the dream control I've been doing and how many points each element would be, adding them up. Many young students, who area about five years old, are working on various projects at their desks. I figure I'll practice some basic summoning and eat something. I look on the teacher's desk for a chocolate bar, yet don't see any. I decide to go for invisibility. I snap my fingers, go invisible, and walk in front of the teacher to see if she'll notice me. Her eyes look right past me as I approach her. She then appears as if she may be looking at me, so I ask her directly:
"Where do you keep your chocolate?"
She then points at some documents on her desk and explains that they should be around them. I look underneath several white documents, yet don't find any. I look in the first drawer and fully expect to find a bar underneath a few white papers and envelopes. I quickly find a bar in a plastic bag. I take it out, walk forward a bit, and take a bite. It tastes great! I make my way to the far end of the room and exit the area. I make my way into a neighboring room and a notice that one of the young students with dark skin follows me into the room. I snap, go invisible, and he walk past me. After a moment, the boy passes by me and the dream begins to feel as though it's fading. I maintain awareness and soon pop up in a building and make my way outside. I see some large structure to my right that appear to be a mix of construction equipment and play equipment as well as a large silver building in front of me. I decide to practice some mass telekinesis. I go to raise the equipment and two massive pieces easily lift up from the ground. I turn from the area, fly toward the silver building, and phase inside. I'm in a central hallway with light gray walls and quickly make my way into a shop area to the left with several women working. There's a tall woman with blonde hair to the right as well as two shorter women with brunette hair to the left. I decide to find out Norzz's full name. I ask the tall lady, yet she doesn't have a solid answer. I then ask one of the other women.
"What's Norzz's full name?"
Lady: "Norzz'jyagerie"
She explains that the name has components of the name Elijah and another name in it. I begin looking around for something to eat, yet don't discover anything. I wonder if there's anything else in here that I'd want to do, yet don't find anything. I walk further down in the room and look at the face of one of the women. It soon transforms into a narrow, golden nozzle. I ignore it and begin to head into the next area which has gray walls with an open area in the ceiling just ahead. I transform into crow form, feeling various aspects of my body and work on tucking my back legs in. I flap my wings and pass through the opening in the ceiling. I soar into an outdoor area, reverting to humanoid form. I wake up.

I see the back of my car and take a few steps. My awareness raises. I'm lucid. It's daytime and it's parked at the edge of a lot next to a few other cars. I need to get some points for the competition! I think of basic summoning, yet decide against it and think of light and phasing. I repeat "dream, dream, dream" as I walk forward. I raise up and float toward a black hatchback parked next to my car. I phase through the right side and end up above the center console. I decide to go for full transformation and shrink down into mouse form. I feel like it's not perfectly accurate, so I begin to revert to humanoid form, phase back out through the side of the car and fly upward. I transform into bird form and feel my wings flapping. I'm happy with the shape and fell of the dream body. I fly forward a bit toward a field on the edge of the lot. I land, reverting to humanoid form. I see a lone tree standing a few meters in the distance and stick my arm out to go for mass telekinesis. The tree doesn't budge. I decide to just run up and use super strength to rip it out of the ground. I begin to feel that I'm waking up. The dream blurs a bit as I reach my arms out toward the trunk. I wake up.

1. The Bus (LD)
I head from the first level of the bus onto the second. As I head onto the level, I see about half the gray seat filled and a female with black hair, head hanging down. I recognize her as H and become lucid. I approach. I need to score some points for the competition! I jog my memory and think of full transformation. I shrink down onto H's lap and turn into a mouse. I crawl up her leg a bit. I then think of flying as well as phasing. I lift off and fly up a bit, then head through the wall of the bus to the left. I quickly phase back in and approach H once again. I lay down next to her and give her a hug. I begin to wake up.

2. Chocolate Shop (LD)
I walk farther down the hallway of the office and my awareness begins to rise. I'm facing a doorway on the far end.
"I'm lucid in this place". I'm lucid.
I turn to my left and notice that the quality is a bit fuzzy. I begin shouting: "Clarity! Clarity!" The dream comes into focus and my awareness raises. I begin thinking of what I want to do and soon think of points as well as exiting the office building. I fly down the hallway and phase through the glass window on the end. I lower down into the area and see several buses in front of me. I transform into a mouse and run closer. I begin searching my memory for different activities to score points. I revert to humanoid form and decide to basic summon a genie lamp. I search around the first bus, yet only see a mental wisp of a lamp which disappears. I imagine cocoa around the next, yet don't find any. I begin to fly toward a nearby bus, deciding to board. I fly toward the entrance of one and board. I see a male bus driver who is roughly forty as I walk up. I snap my finger to go invisible as I head up the stairs. I want to test the invisibility, so I shove my head right in front of his face. He stares through me. I then begin to go for his golden necklace. He doesn't react. I back off. He then turns toward me and asks in an angry tone if I'm just going to stand there and expect not to do anything. I cross my arms to turn on invulnerability. I see that he activates some super power within him and seems to give off an alien aura. I pull my arm back then throw a super punch, knocking a head off and through the window. I then look back at the driver and head is back on. I hear an alien sound as he begins to skitter nearby. He hints that he's going to use a super attack to slice my arm off. He goes for the strike, yet I'm unharmed. I head to the back of the bus, thinking of other dreamers who encounter beings of incredible power. I exit the bus and find myself on a countryside road which I don't like at first. I then notice a simple, wooden two story structure to my right. I float into the main entrance and decide to try to find cocoa. I snap my fingers to go invisible and float pass a worker inside. I see shelves on the edge of a counter in the center filled with chocolate bars. I grab an artisan one off of the bottom shelf that has a tan cover and bite into it. It's great! There are hints of berry. I once again set my attention to advanced summoning. I decide to find a Cadbury bar at first, then switch to a blue chocolate bar. I find a bar with a tan wrapper and blue writing. I take a few steps to the right, beginning to head to a back room. I begin to wake up.

1. 1. Hand And Pillar (LD)
I raise my right wrist to glance at my watch. It’s not
there and I see a slight tan line. That’s…strange… Nose
pinch. I’m lucid.
“I knew it”
I head toward a nearby table, put my arms up and float
up above in a prone position, and view a woman who’s
slightly heavy-set with darker skin in a seat to the left
as well as a woman to my right. I lower down onto the
table.
“Check this out guys - I’m going to levitate.”
I press myself up, yet quickly lower back down.
I press up again, yet once again quickly lower.
That’s… strange. I feel I’m getting distracted and set
my mind to honing in my awareness. I walk to my left
and wrap around a nearby gray pillar. I stick out my
hand and focus intently, raising my awareness. I begin
to head back to the table. I begin to float up, yet my
lucidity fades.

Winter Competition 2024 - Night 9

1. Abodo (LD)
I'm aware as I'm looking at the counter top in the kitchen of the main house in Syrano. I see my tablet just where I left in waking life. I figure I can begin sliding my dream body into the scene. I begin to reach my hand out slowly as well as move closer to the counter. I'm in. I turn and notice that the visuals in my left 'eye' are dark. I shout "visual field, fill in!" and think back to a message I sent someone in the omni discord a few days prior. My visuals fill in. I head into the kitchen. I need to get some points! I decide to grab some chocolate. I head to the waking life location, but there is n't any there. Let me check the dream world location I turn to the cabinets to my right, head to the top shelf, and they're there like always. I grab a thick bar and begin to eat it. It's awesome! I head toward the main entranceway and begin thinking about my three step. I need to teleport next and then...oh yeah, mass telekinesis. I decide to go for Djinn transformation and my body enlarges to about eleven feet tall, my shoulder expanding and my body turns to dark smoke, the lower portion becoming wisps. I turn to my right to cast portal into the wall, yet nothing clearly visible appears. I phase into the wall and go to void. I cross my legs to meditate in the void and begin visualizing Forest Haven. After a moment, I appear in front of a large pool type structure with a fountain at the far end. A large forest sits in the area beyond, just behind what appears to be a large fence. I'm not sure if this place is actually Forest Haven, and wonder if there's a way that I can find out for sure - asking a DC perhaps. I turn to view the area behind me and see two massive manors. One with a cream colored stucco, sitting about two stories tall with pillar shaped corners catches my attention. I wonder the name of the place, and the name 'Abodo' suddenly pops into my my mind. I decide to explore the manor and fly in that direction. I enter the manor and notice that there's nobody present, however the rooms are adorned with furntiture. I head toward the back section and wonder if I can come back to this place. I decide to leave and head back through the entrance. I fly a bit further toward the neighboring structure and feel as though I'm beginning to wake up.


2. The Night Sky (LD)
I'm laying down on the ground and see couches in front of me. Dream
I'm lucid. I stand up and begin to explore the area. I enter the neighboring room and notice it's a kitchen area. I should score some points...I'll drink something first. I ate something last lucid so I'll mix it up. I consider coffee, yet don't see a coffee maker on the counter when I look for one, just a wooden knife holder and some other appliances. I'll just grab a drink from the fridge I begin looking for something, yet don't find anything I particularly want. I keep pulling out large bottles of Sprite. I begin to think that I need to find the exact drink I imagine for points, and wonder if I can find a Fresca. I pull out another bottle and it's another...Sprite. I see a bottle with some blue behind them and wonder if I can find a bottle of alcohol. I dig behind them and find a bottle of vodka. I wonder how it'll affect me as I've never drank in a lucid before. I turn from this area and re-enter the room I just came from. I take large swigs from the bottle. I phase through the wall and enter an outdoor area with two large houses beyond a small fence. I drink more from the bottle and feel for a moment that I'm getting a bit tipsy. The effects dissipate rapidly. Oh! I should do some mass TK! I turn toward the first, darker three story house on the left for a mass TK. It doesn't budge. I turn toward the one to it's right...it resists as well. I'll go for that huge tree I focus on it as I stick my arms out. I feel that it's raising and that it's roots are beginning to rip out. Suddenly I begin moving the entire thing into the air and my gaze follows as it raises high into the air. I see the beautiful night sky beyond the tree, filled with brightly glowing stars. They seem to be comprising a galaxy in the far distance. I consider flying to the galaxy, yet decide to stay in the current area. I continue to move the tree over house, and it begins to move in a strobe-like fashion. I finally decide to turn and explore the area behind me a bit further. I fly over to what appears to be a playground, bottle of vodkae in hand. I feel that the dream is de-stabilizing. I enter a void for a moment, then begin to visualize the forest once again. I soon pop up on blacktop in a slightly industrial area. There's a builidng at the far end of the pavement and some trees to my left just beyond a small fence. I decide to jump up and slide down the top of the fence. I begin to think of other dreamers and how much lucid time they have. I pop off and think I should do some transformation. I transform into crow form, yet don't feel that it's as accurate as I want. I shrink down to mouse for and feel that it's far better. I head toward the small building, then turn around to an area of dirt, going into cat form. I run up the dirt area and see three small dinosaur looking creatures a few feet ahead. They soon fuse into one small T-Rex-looking dinosaur, roughly the size of a raptor. I revert to humanoid form. Time for super strength I punch it in the face, then grab it by the neck and launch it over the fence behind me. I begin to feel that I'm waking up.

3. Coffee Break (LD)
I'm laying down on the ground in a somewhat dim room. I see a student. Dream
I stand up and begin thinking I should get some points. I'll try to get some coffee again. I see a couple of women in a kitchen behind me, head past them, and make my way over to the counter top. I quickly find a coffee machine. I turn it on, then notice that only hot water is coming out, dropping into the carafe below. Oh...actually putting coffee in the machine would help.... I turn to one of the ladies behind me.
"Hey, could you help me make some coffee?"
She comes over and starts to use the machine. Hmm...I should still try to find some stuff to add...
I open the fridge to our left and quickly find a small container of milk. I grab it, then pour it right into the carafe. I feel the dream beginning to de-stabilize, so I grab the cup it was poured into very quickly and raise it to drink...I wake up.

Winter Competition 2024 - Night 7
1. Plant (LD)
I walk farther into the room and see many lounge seats spread throughout the meeting room. The dream begins to fade a bit and I'm become lucid. I walk up to a large plant in a gray container on the near side of the room and set my mind to stabilization. I begin rubbing the container and grab it. I continue engaging tactile sense, encouraging the dream to rematerialize. The room comes back into view. I consider nose pinching for stabilization, but don't really feel like it. I walk forward and begin losing lucidity as I turn toward the mirror to my left.

2. Office (LD)
I'm facing a glass door.
"I'm lucid in this place". I'm lucid.
I phase through the wooden door with glass on the top and enter a small reception area with two secretaries working. I immediately begin thinking about earning some points. Invisibility comes to mind. I go invisible and then head to test it out. I walk by the first desk and they seem oblivious. I feel that one may be looking in my direction after a moment. To test further, I walk up to her desk, take her tumbler and walk away. She remains oblivious and turns toward her work. I enter the next office area and see a heavy set man in a brown suit sitting in the area beyond. I see a collection of stuffed animals of various colors in a bin to my right and go for telekinesis. None of the items move. I explore a bit further into the office area, heading down a hallway. I jog my memory for dream goals and other ways that I can earn points. I think of flying and rise up, gliding down the hallway. I consider teleportation, but I don't want to risk destabilizing the dream too early on. I think of other dreamers and how long some of them spend in lucid dreams. I think about alternating night and day as well, then turn my attention back to points. I want the dream to be a bit more clear. I shout to the dream: "This is going to last an hour", willing the dream to continue. I see a man working at a desk in a cubicle in an area just ahead. I cast invulnerability, yet I'm not sure if I'll have a way to test if it's in effect. I decide to interact a bit. I rush up, super punch him under the jaw, and launch him into the area beyond. I feel a bit bad about how rough I was with the DC as I usually don't do that outside of competition. I decide to score some points with healing. I stick my hands out and see golden healing light go in the direction of the DC. I imagine him healed and getting up, going back to his desk. I see a wisp of a figure head back to the desk, then disappear, although it's not very clear. I continue heading down the hallway thinking about other dream control. I decide that I can find some thing to eat. I walk a bit further, then wake up.

1. Watching Shadows (LD)
I continue to walk around the various rooms of the building which appears to be an office building. There's a green hue throughout the rooms, and I continue to explore. I begin to reflect on how the area looks like the location of a previous lucid...
"This is a dream"
I'm lucid and take stock of what's in the immediate area. I continue to notice the slight greenish gray hue over the scene as well as a co-worker sitting at the desk in front of me.
"Hello dream An"
I think about engaging logic. I reflect on what he has on his desk. I then look at the shadows, and how they're being cast off of the chairs and tables slightly to the left. I notice that the shadows are actually quite accurate.
The lucidity fades.

2. Lightning Burst (LD)
I'm standing in front of the dining room table in the main house in Meadow. I begin to think about spotting the difference. It's pretty dim and I notice that the dining table is turned ninety degrees and has two large brown candles on it. I find it a bit strange. I become lucid and realize the dream is still continuing to form. I move slowly, repeating "I'm dreaming" quite a few times. I make a left and head down the hallways into the kitchen area. I decide to grab some chocolate in order to stabilize more. I figure I'll look in the cabinet to the left, and quickly find a bar, yet two thirds of it is eaten. I search for more and find one full one with many thick bulging sections along with a smaller square one. I decide to start exploring and look toward the family room area. I remember back to my meditation session in a past lucid and consider doing that. I take a few steps forward, continuing to think about where I want to explore, remaining in awe of the lucid feel and the environment in general. Suddenly, there's a massive burst of white light along with a loud thunderclap, seemingly coming from the left by the far window. The visuals soon go to void and I reflect on how I don't want to lose the dream. I take a bite of the chocolate bar and it's like in real life! I clearly taste the chocolate and apparently caramel that was in the center of the thick areas. I begin to feel myself waking up.

1. Super Speed (LD)
I head to the door of the dim room, away from the ladies I've been speaking to. I begin to think about dreaming and my awareness stirs. I open the door, walk through, and begin to recognize the balcony in the main house in Meadow. I'm lucid. I glide down and go out into the front yard. It's the middle of the night and a large crescent moon looms overhead. I slowly walk down the driveway and stop for a moment. I decide to slow, down, soak in my surroundings, and my sense of self within the environment. I walk notice what appears to be a baby stroller with a baby in it on the middle of the driveway. I decide to begin engaging logic while verbalizing what I'm seeing. The scene becomes extremely vivid, the crisp blue colors emanating throughout the nighttime dreamscape. I make comments about the cars passing by and what they're carrying on the rooves. One truck is carrying a few layers of some type of wood. I then turn to my right and decide to exploring farther down the road. I see several people walking on the sidewalk. There seem to be slight hues of green to the scene and I decide to move much more quickly down the road - I go for super speed. I remind myself that the scene is entirely my mind - it's all me. I begin to zoom at super fast speeds. The dream characters in front of me begin to blur a bit as I rapidly approach. I see a couple more pairs on the sidewalk as I zoom ahead, blurring by and begin to think of other LDers who must experience these things quite a bit. The scene soon fades into a void. I retain my sense of self within the void, expecting another dream to form. I stay here for a while, maintaining awareness. I slip into a non-lucid.


2. Hotel Room (LD)
I look toward the screen in the hotel, with my parents to the right on the bed. I think about what would happen if I viewed this as as dream, and used dream powers to show them something on the screen. I become lucid. I face my parents and begin thinking about things I could do in the dream. I turn toward the window, think about exploring a bit. I consider that the dream may fade, but ignore it and face through the way. The dream goes to void and I hand out in the void for a moment before phasing back in. I walk toward the opposite end of the hotel room. I head to the bathroom area and begin thinking of finding DCs to interact with. I begin heading toward the other end of the room. The dream slips into a non-lucid.

October 30th
The Playground (LD)
I’m on the second floor of a fairly large structure looking out at the yard below. There appear to be a couple of large pools, to the left and right as well as some deer to the right side of the field. The pools remind me slightly of Meadow. It looks like Meadow…but these pools are too large… I begin to float through the window and outside into the daylight. I put right hand in front of me and begin to inspect it. It looks very realist and I see all of the texture of the skin as well as noticeable scars. The scars…aren’t in the right place…I’m dreaming. I become lucid and float down to the ground. I float down into the area in the center of the yard which I recognize as a playground. I head into the middle of the center structure which is constructed of tan plastic material. Several kids are coming through one of the tunnels toward me. I remember my dream goal of asking the dream what will improve my life. I ask the dream directly, yet don’t get a response. I ask one of the kids coming through the center structure but he responds:
“I don’t know”.
I then see a kids I recognize:
“You’re smart…what would make my life better”
“I don’t know”
I ask a third kid, but get the same response. I let the next kid simply go through the area, then enter the center from my side, transitioning through it. I see two young girls to the left as I move through. I ignore this group of kids and exit to the far end of the playground. I wake up.

October 18th, 2023
Midnight Boat (LD)
I roll my memory back to the previous scene in which the narrator was explaining that the people working are from South America. I turn to H. That doesn’t make any sense. How could these people be from South America- were joy in South America. I go for a noseplug. This is a dream! I’m excited as I look toward H sitting next to me on the boat. I have a big smile, and she turns to her left smiling back at me. I turn toward the front of the boat and take in the view of the rows of seats in the dim light. The scene grows dark rapidly and I take a few steps forward, farther into the boat. I imagine a chocolate bar being in front of me, and as I reach down, I quickly find a bar. It’s quite large, probably a foot long by eight inches wide and I undo the foil wrapper by peeling it back. I take a bite, yet it doesn’t have much taste. I continue to take a couple more steps toward the front of the boat, but begin to feel my body. I soon wake up.

Mirrors And Couches (LD)

I look into a mirror and intensive my practice of illusory body. My awareness begins to raise and I go for a nose plug. I’m lucid. I turn and head into the scene beyond me which is essentially a large square one story room in the dim of night. There are several white couches in the room around the perimeter of the majority of the room. I float into the room and the scene begins to dim rapidly. I begin to rapidly rub around the surfaces of the scene, engaging my tactile sense. I begin to feel my waking body. I soon wake up.

1. Orange Glow In Syrano (LD)
I'm aware as I'm looking at the coffee table in Syrano, sitting up partially on the couch. I cautiously begin to move and quickly discover I'm able to move my dream body freely. I stand up fully and move slowly toward the other end of the room. I feel a bit of excitement stir up as I know I'm about to enter a full WILD, yet quickly bring my awareness back to the present. I grab a game controller to engage tactile sense and begin clicking a series of buttons as I walk. I continue toward the kitchen area and place the game controller on the edge of the counter where I usually record dreams. I look toward the corner and notice a microwave in the back right as well as to the right. I consider looking at the time, hesitate as I feel that it will distract me, yet finally look to see a time of 3 something. I decide to grab some chocolate before the adventure. I go into the usual cabinet and quickly discover a bar at the top right. It doesn't feel complete. I quickly imagine there will be more to the left and quickly find a black Ghiradelli bar and another small one. I take the first, then place the second in gray bag on the counter with the small one beside it. I head toward the sliding glass door with blinds, ready to explore the area beyond. I take a bite of the bar and it's great! It tastes like chocolate in waking life. I phase through the blinds and glass and end up in a beautiful area with orange glow spilling out of the homes lining either side of a small canal which extends narrowly through the middle of the town. There are people in front of each structure, each of which has a massive glass wall in the front of the home. The shape of each home slighly resembles the shape of the components of the Sydney Opera House. I consider exploring, but feel that I want to go back to grab the rest of the bars. I wonder if the dream will destabilize, but want to test it. I phase back in, head to the counter, and find the gray bag right where I left it. I put the bar in my back left pocket, then phase back through the sliding glass door. I suddenly end up in an area with gray wall in which a walkway leads to an area beyond with a massive public pool to the right. There are several kids in the pool and a steel ladder leading down. I see a co-worker to my right and say hi. I continue walking down the path next to the massive pool and wonder if the dream will change to something similar to the previous scene; I'm not really interested in the current one. As I walk farther, I notice small, narrow restaurants to my left, similar to what you'd find in an airport. There restaurants are fairly full, with many families at the tables. Each has a slightly different theme. I reach the second then third restaurant and look intently at a couple of the DCs, marveling at the details in one of the faces. I continue farther and notice a sign on the far wall resembling a fish and it appears to the the emblem for an elementary school. There are kids eating at tables to the left in the final area of this floor and I imagine that it's essentially the cafe area of an elementary school. I see a massive ladder leading to the floor below to my right and begin to descend. I quickly find myself in an expansive room with massive glass window, roughly three stories tall, providing a view to the outside. It's a forested area with massive, lush trees and a small dirt walkway next to the building. I turn to my right and see light tile floor extending to the end of the massive room and an elderly lady working slightly to the right at a desk - seemingly a receptionist of some sort. I turn to the right even more and see another seating area. It appears to be some type of cafe, like one you would see on a school campus. There are several groups of older students scattered throughout the long tables leading far down into the room to my right. I feel that I'm beginning to wake up. My vision goes into a brilliant white. I want to hold onto the dream so I imagine rubbing a seam on the front of a shirt that I'm wearing and continue to wait in awareness of the white light. I stay in this state for quite a while and eventually return to waking.


2. Snowy Fields (LD)
I'm driving down a road which is running between two massive fields of what appears to be a snow covered hay field. I look at the dashboard and see my hands, and say "I'm dreaming" as I do so. I was just lying down on the couch...I'm dreaming! The car continues to travel down the road as if it's on cruise control. I decide to climb into the passenger seat and grab some chocolate from the glove compartment to start of the adventure! I climb into the seat, search the compartment, and quickly find a plastic bag with a bar inside. I feel that I should begin driving the car a bit more with the wheel and begin to climb to the center. I turn to the right and see that we're passing a Japanese style structure, and I feel that it's a monastery. I begin to wonder if it's a section of Uburu Migu. I see that the road is beginning to end and there's a small building directly in front of the road and a playground slightly to the right of the building. I lean over, hit the bakes with my hand, turn the car to the right, and shift the car into park next to the building. I begin to explore to the left of the building. I turn and notice a multi-level parking garage built of steel beams. There are several levels of cars parked inside. I begin to shout "Clarity! Clarity! Stabilize! Stabilize!" at the dream and it responds slightly. I head toward the back of the monastery and head toward the back door to look inside. I open the door and see a massive dream character in a black robe facing a wall. I figure he's some sort of monk. I turn back around as the character seems a bit intense. There's a friendly character in front of me and Han appears next to me as well. The tall thin man who appears to be a monk walks with us to the building across from the monastery with a smile and takes his hoes off. I take mine off as well, which appear to be tan loafers which are in good condition. I mention to Han that I like them. I then make a comment about his shoes and begin to use telekinesis to fling them back to the monastery with a grin. I only see black flickers moving to the monastery. I wonder why it didn't work, try again, yet don't have success. I begin to approach the doorway of the building in front of me with Han and get ready to descend a staircase. I begin to wake up.

Stone Mushroom Island (LD)
I turn around within the center of the first floor of the main house in Syrano. My awareness begins to raise and I become lucid. I begin thinking about what I want to do and decide to grab some chocolate and then go exploring. I head to the front of the house, considering exploring in this area. I see the scene illuminated slightly with an yellow orange glow in the night. There’s a black SUV in the front. I decide to head back in though as I don’t feel like exploring the development area. I head over to the kitchen area and expect to find some chocolate bars in the upper right portion of the wooden cabinets to the left. I reach up to the right of the top shelf and find bar right away. I begin eating it as I head toward the window which has blinds on it, and it tastes very good! It has clear chocolate flavor, a bit muted but really good. I phase through the blinds and window wondering what is going to be in the area beyond. I enter into the area beyond and begin taking in the view of the beautiful night time scene, illuminated slightly by the buildings beyond. There's a large lake which extends quite far into the distance, although it’s not too wide. At the far edges, two story homes sit with steep roofs, windows illuminated in yellow. I begin to fly out over the lake, and feel an amazing sense of freedom as I do. I quickly find a small rock island to my left and land on it. It appears to have small growth of mushrooms sticking out of it which cover the surface of the small island. I begin to reflect on my lucidity and find it amazing that so many experienced dreamers stay in this state for long periods of time. I reflect on how it’s completely worth the effort. I continue to look around the dream scene, taking in the dark rock beneath me and the dark colored water of the lake. I begin to fly a bit farther down, yet have a false awakening.

2. Coffee Mug Telekinesis (LD)
I’m on the first floor of the main house in Syrano, interacting with some objects on the counter. I begin to have the impression that I’m interacting with dream objects, and that I need to continue to interact to stabilize the dream. My awareness raises and I become. Lucid. I leave the objects in front of me on the counter alone and turn to the left, heading toward the wooden cabinets. I decide to look for chocolate as in the previous lucid dream and quickly find a bar on the top shelf. I carry it with me toward the center area with the coffee table and couch. Bran is standing there with a coffee mug. I begin to play around with the black mug by using telekinesis on it. I move it up and down with ease, enjoying it and see the light brown liquid slosh around. I turn to Brandon.
“Like my lucid skills?!” I say with a comical, excited voice.
I begin to lose lucidity.

I look at the menacing figure in front of me holding a knife, and sense that he's hostile. He grins at me with a mischievous countenance. I begin to use telekinesis to move the knife out of his hands. Oh...this is a dream I become lucid. I rush up, grab the knife, and stab him. None of this matters; this is just a dream. I'll go somewhere else. I simply turn around and head down the dim hallway behind me. I begin to look at my hand, marveling at what it feels like to be in the lucid state. I suddenly appear on the second story of a building with a banister to my right, overlooking the first floor of a house. I soon recognize that it's the main house in Meadow. I decide to simply explore a bit. I glide over the banister, down to the first floor, and through the front door. I feel like taking the dream very slowly, and not controlling much. I simply walk slowly down the front walkway and onto the driveway, takin in the sights. There's a bit of sunlight shining down, and I begin to think about my dream goal of communicating with my dream guide. I begin to ask the dream for my dream guide. Nothing appears. I head over to the pile of rocks to the left of the driveway and decide to pick up a rock to engage the tactile sense throughout dream exploration to see if it'll help stabilize. The rocks area all a blackish gray color. I continue head over, grab a stone, and begin to rub it as I make my way into the street. I begin to reflect on my waking body being asleep, but move my mind off of this thought as I don't want it to lead to me waking up. I decide to head to the neighboring house across the street as I haven't explored this area extensively. As I reach the driveway, I look to my left and notice that there are many trees extending down and to the left. The driveway extends down quite far to an area which appears to be a massive pool which appears almost like a public pool with a ladder leading down and many people inside. The garage to my right has quite a few people gathered inside, but I decide not to explore that area. I consider heading into the back of the house, thinking back to previous lucid, but don't want to get distracted looking for chocolate in the pantry. I notice a group of children in front of me being led by a fairly young leader. I stroll up to the group, interested to get a glimpse of the leader. I approach, yet as I begin to look at the leader, I begin to lose lucidity and slip into a false awakening in which I'm voice recording the lucid dream.

Breathing Into The Dream (LD)
I’m aware as a scene begins to form. I’m aware of my breathing as I see a white console beginning to take shape in the center of my field of vision. I notice a very faint bit of excitement beginning to form and set my mind to tempering it immediately. I begin to focus intently on my breathing, counting each breath. The scene forms fully and I begin to cautiously test if I can enter the scene. I slowly move my dream body a few steps and I’m in the scene. It appears to be an apartment of sorts with a fairly large pale red couch to my right. I continue to count my breaths for a short bit to stabilize. I see a square black TV on the console with some images on it and I check ot see if any video games are displayed, but don’t notice any. I head a bit farther into the back of the room an get the idea to search for a cocoa to practice some basic summoning and to stabilize. I imagine some on the floor in a mug to my right. I quickly find it next to the couch, pick up the mug, and sip a bit. The flavor is a bit muted. I then decide to find a large chocolate bar in the fridge that tastes better.. I head toward what appears to be a kitchen area farther back. I quickly find a stainless steel fridge, open it and find a bunch of salmon filets as well as some ribs. I grab a big slab of salmon and it’s really good. I begin to feel pretty hungry. I look up a bit higher, but quickly wake up.

Highway Car (LD)
I’m driving down a highway in the dim morning light and begin to think of lucidity. I become lucid. I’m navigating over what appears to be an overpass next to some large office buildings with a greenish hue. I float out of the car and begin to fly upward. I wake up


Stump And Super Speed (LD)
I’m in the backyard of the main house in Meadow. I think about wanting to get lucid. I become lucid and put my hands up in front of me as I do so. I fly upward a bit and turn to my left. I see a fairly large tree in the back left of the yard and consider practicing super speed. I continually imagine my dream body zooming to the tree while simultaneously imagine the tree moving closer to me. I repeat this several times. On many of the attempts, I’m nearly instantly at a new location, with my visual field cast downward. As I look downward, I notice a tree stump shaved very low to the ground with a very large diameter - probably two feet or so. This repeats a few times and each time I instantly revert to my starting area next to the house. I wake up.

Practicing Earth Slam (LD)
I’m in the backyard behind the main house in Meadow. I think of wanting to get lucid in the area, look at a plant, and become lucid. I float a bit farther, considering going into the dark woods. I then decide to practice Earth Slam a bit to work on element manipulation. Near the pool, I slam the ground with my right foot a couple of times, expecting shockwaves. Not much happens. I float a bit farther into the yard and slam the ground with my two hands clasped in front of me. Not much happens once again. I glance up toward the gate on the far end of the yard.
I head toward the dark woods, imagining what will be beyond as the light begins to pour slightly through the trees. I stop near the fence and the shed. I get the idea that I should stop stabilize for a bit. I begin to look at my hand, slowing down a bit. I then wake up.

Planetary Chat (LD)
The boy continues to talk about planets and I think about getting lucid. I get a flash of lucidity and teleport to the edge of the room. I soon lose lucidity.

1. Emerald Cloud Vortex (LD)
I'm aware as I 'm winding down a staircase. There's green carpeting and the rails are wooden with golden pieces to fasten them. I feel that it made be hypnagogia developing into a dream. I begin moving slowly, winding down the staircase.
I suddenly feel that I'm laying on the couch. I relax my body. I soon feel that I'm able to stand up. I stand up in the first floor of the Syrano main house. The details are quite accurate, yet a bit blurry. I begin rubbing the wall. Time to start exploring...I should grab some chocolate first, why not. head to the fridge and head to the usual slide out drawer. I notice eggs in the same position as waking life. I find a bag, yet when I turn and feel the contents, it seems that there's just gooey spherical shaped items inside. I return the bag and look inside the cabinet to the right, expecting bars. I find several of two different types, and grab two, putting one in my pocket for later and carrying the other. I take a bite and it's pretty good! I head to the sliding glass door to start the exploration. As I phase through, the blinds continue to stay in front of my face, gradually sliding over as I walk further outside. I quickly fly up and end up above the clouds in a short amount of time. The scene is absolutely beautiful. At first I see crimson and sanguine streaks of a deep sunset, yet from above the clouds, pouring from the clouds themselves. I'm amazed by the colors and they remind me of the main page of Night Club. A massive green vortex then begins to form from a cloud in the far distance. I it has a conical shape and continues to swirl intensely, an emerald hue emanating from it.
"Oh oh God" I'm amazing by how awesome it looks. I continue to fly toward it and swoop down. The scene quickly transition to a snowy scene with a hard ground. Green tentacles extend from the snow surface in two area, sets of about five massive tenacles coming from each. I swoop around counterclockwise in the sky and extend my right hand to shoot a fireball at the first. A fireball hurls from my hand and travels about one hundred meters into the tentacles.
"Yes!"
I continue to fly around, going for a second fireball, yet the next is less vivid. I fly down to the surface, and land a bit farther down in the snow drift. The scene is very dark in this area and there are dense trees around me, yet quite a few meters away still. I'm concerned that the dream will fade due to darkness, so I turn to where the tentacles are, searching for light. I rub the ground and fly a bit farther toward where I came from. I make some more progress, rubbing the ground again. I wake up.


2. The Two Temples (LD)
I get out of the car, and the concept of 'dream' comes to mind. My awareness quickly raises. This is a dream
I get out of the car and look around the scene. It's in the middle of the day and I'm in a parking lot next to shops of some sort that seem to be cafes of some sort. I realize the dream character who parked behind me in the Mustang headed in that direction, but no longer want to follow. I decide to explore in the direction of the cafes. I float over toward the right side of them. I enter a house and explored for quite some time. The walls are made of dark wood and there are many rooms extending in different directions. I float from an upper area over a banister to an area below. I make my way into a side room and realize I'm wearing brown flip flops. I should take these off; they're probably going to alert some DCs. I should find some quiet ninja shoes or just go barefoot. I turn to my right and see an entire kitchen area with the same dark wood decor. A heavy set, tall man with blond hair is baking a couple trays of muffins which are light yellow in color. One has wrap over it. I go to take two but decide to ask.
"May I have some?"
Baker: "You can have one"
His name Thomas
"What's your name"
Baker: "Thomas"
I knew it
I look at the tray and notice that most of them are heavily caramelized on the top. I take one and take a bite. It's still warm and the taste is extremely vivid! It tastes just like it would in real life. There's a vanilla flavor and the texture is moist and fluffy as well. I leave the area, floating through the door into the adjoining rooms. The rooms beyond are fairly dark I make a sharp left and notice a dark staircase leading downward. I'm about to head down, but feel that the area looks a bit creepy. I turn and head into a room to my left. This room is much longer and has what appears to be a sofa inserted into the wall with a bunk above it. I think of telekinesis, and go to move on of the pillows to the left. It won't budge though. I ignore it for the time being and float into the area to my left. I sudden end up in an outdoor area with a massive staircase leading up to the left. The entire area is made of stone. There's a woman at the top looks at me and begins to ask me to do something. I interrupt her, changing the topic playfully.
"What's that on your shirt?" I continue pointing, asking her about the picture, not really caring.
I then fly way, to my right, thorough the middle of the stone columns. I feel a total sense of freedom and a rock song begins playing. The lyrics have to do with "waking up". I see a massive temple structure directly in front of me, raising roughly three stories high and it's massively wide. There are stone terraces that protrude far from the left and right sides. I turn to the right and fly in that direction in broad daylight in the direction of a smaller temple structure that's made of dark stone. There's a group at a round picnic table in the area in front and they smile at me. I'm interested in interacting and wonder if I'll see them in dream again. I don't interact, yet instead turn to my left and head toward one of the terraces of the main temple, wondering if the dream will destabilizes from such a long flight. I reach the edge of the terrace on the second level and begin walking toward the entrance of the structure. I see my reflection as I approach. I begin thinking about my illusory form practice. It's like I'm a traveler between worlds... I begin to reflect on the nature of the the experiences being witnessed by my awareness and the nature of the waking and dreaming state. I begin to wake up.
