On Night 1 I couldn't fall asleep until like 1am and had to wake up early, so I only remember one short dream:

Apology poem



I'm at my parents house in the dining room with some family (mostly nephews), then the scene cuts to a prisonner that made a really long apology letter, like a full book, written in rhymes like a poem, directed to the judge, which convinced him to release the prisonner. Now this letter/poem is taught in schools.

No Dreams Recalled. Frequent sleep interruptions via dehydration and temperature.

This dream lasted about three to four minutes. I was with one of my friends, and we were watching something. After she left to go to the bathroom, I woke up—and then I DEILD back into the dream. I was stabilizing for what felt like two or three minutes, running my hand across the walls, floors, and other surfaces. It worked to a decent degree, but I kind of forgot that I wanted to try to use multiple senses to stabilize. I wasn’t really expecting to get anything here, so my plan wasn't in my head. I just went on autopilot—but autopilot seemed to work. The dream got quite vivid. After I felt like it was in a pretty good place, I stopped stabilizing. I think I wanted to summon something, but the dream immediately ended after I stopped stabilizing.

I also want to investigate the possibility that I go into a FA rather than waking up. It might be that after stabilizing FAs rather than full wakeups happen (at least for me).

Near a raging, muddy waterfall trying to take photos. Careful while stepping on the mossy shores of the frothing river.

Hangry
We stop for our supper. Kayji sees her friends. She sits with them instead. I choose a salad. A man stands near. Suddenly my food is his? Complaints fall on deaf ears. Facts only find blind eyes. The van which is escape shifts shape into a bike. Ride darkening roads. Hippy man brushes me with a flowered branch when I coast pass. Enraged, I swing around and let loose surge of rage. And then, there comes the sun. It shines the way to the near forgotten roads to home.

Whisper & Warrior
Solitude found in a flimsy shed. Ignore raps and requests for entry. Shed shifts into a treehouse crammed with computers. Shift again into THE bat cave. Heroes gather. A grainy ghost of woman appears shining like shadow Galadriel. She is sublime and exists, aware, across dimensions and time. She knows she haunts the hovel of my all my hearts. I know that across all of her spectral lives she may love only The Warrior.

Chasing
In a pow wows pulsing heart Jae and Shae prance and sway to ancient songs of grace. Fumble my way forward. They are always out of reach. Find them safe in a hotel, which becomes a trailer, which becomes a single shack of hoarders' mess and just as jumbled lightlessness. Want only to rescue them but they seem happy where they are.

Mysteries
With straight cut bangs he looks more oompa-oompa than hobbit. Bilbo says its to do with his evolution from clean cut to wild haired, hobbit of mystery. I laugh. "What do you REALLY know of me?" he asks, then asks things I can not answer. "What do you REALLY know of yourself?" he asks, then asks things I can not answer. We both are a mystery to me, it seems. Despite it all we still keep good company.

Note: Someone who I'd been talking about the game to, became lucid last night and completed one of my new personal goals. She 'fourth walled herself'. It was only her second lucid dream ever.



Team Robot - Spring Competition Day 3

So I think getting into the robot theme will be difficult for me. I am tuned way more into imagining fantasy creatures like dragons and monsters and such.
But its still fun to try and become lucid then change the WHOLE setting, I'm thinking of doing an Alien Invasion sometime so ill have to battle a lot.


Dream: I'm a Witcher, going around an unfamiliar city. The friends I have are nowhere in sight. And I'm looking for them. No luck in finding any of them.
My swords still become floppy when i use them, so i imagine them more rigid and it seems to work... Didn't get to test it out before I woke up to my alarm.

I guess my swords keep having performance issues, yes, swords, steel swords...
Not anything real to note, didn't do anything big in the dreams. No tasks, just walked around.

Evening:

Nap Fragment:
Someone was going to become a weed dealer, something about having 700 fake living locations to be safe.

Nap Fragment:
Something about me becoming a server at some cafe/restaurant.

Night:

Dream:
Something about doing someone figuring out and doing wild in the middle of the day without sleeping while being awake making interesting neon streaks visuals and allowing them to walk up walls, etc.

Frag:
Robot transformation selling people. Theyre like little robot faces that allow you to turn into a robot. Something about cognitive functions deteriorating after some years though

Frag :
Going to ni hao (Chinese restaurant) on thursday even tho its closed then.

Dream:
Some VR things I reallly want to do but I'm late for school, I pick and transform into Sejuani to be faster, do some sailing on a raft, then climbing some mountains, It's a fake school beacon... Im also a dad of 3 kids? and there's something mental about them in that world? And I'm in last year highschool while also in my masters uni? Im going to be late for a Dutch class with some stupid assignment.

I’m in some horror game set up where I’m driven to a house and need to walk up the stairs to some door. Then, I need to open the door, see if the horror entity is there, and if he is, run immediately to “win”. I tried this a few times, opening the door a couple times to be met by a white boney hand holding the door I was trying to reclose, open and running down the stairs (don’t know why these instances didn’t count but ok). I decided I’d try and catch this thing off guard cuz it apparently had a visitation pattern and I could catch it when I expected to. So I jumped up and started tracking where the thing was supposed to be as I flew through the air. My flying style was a lot like Jet’s from MHA at first (bursts of air through my feet), but I realized that I could hover and control my flight much better than I thought I could. It was nighttime in a city I don’t actively recognize, so passing over the city illuminated by the bright signs and street lights was a nice sight to take in. As I continued tracking the creature, I saw that I overshot it and turned around to redirect myself. Then I saw a number at the bottom left of my vision saying “wall climb boosts left:” with a number (most likely cuz I’ve been playing parkour a lot recently). I figured this was the amount of flight boosts I had left, so I decided to make a soft landing on rocky formation covered in snow, right in the middle of the waters I was currently flying over. I waited for my WCBs to recharge, all while making sure not to slip and fall into the icy water since it was apparently cold here. After a bit, I shot back into the air, looking for the creature*once*more.

DREAM 1

I was rich in the dream and I was trying to get somewhere, I feel like it was New York and I needed to get there urgently but I kept getting delayed. I didnt care if it was by flight or train. I can’t remember why I needed to go, but I have a feeling it had something to do with my mom and something to do with my ex boyfriend Joey. There was also a scene in the dream where Joey was running through a dark wet field along a fence seemingly trapped inside due to the lightning and not wanting to touch the fence. All his friends were on the other side panicking but he ran through the fence and came out the other side unharmed.


DREAM 2

My mom was feeling very sick and was sitting outside in her car. I was worried about her dying out in her car and when I heard a long continuous beeping outside I worried that my worst fear had come true and that she had passed out and her head hit the horn. I ran out there and she was fine the honking had come from somewhere else but she was still feeling sick so I helped her back inside. My little sister was there inside in the kitchen and I was offering my mom some of my clothes to wear, she could have her pick and she picked either a blue or pink maxi dress idr which one she picked I thought it was pink but the next time I looked at her she was wearing the blue one and I told her she looked like a princess. I asked her if she was hungry and she nodded enthusiastically yes and then daya was hungry too and I got stressed bc I had no idea what to make on a whim late at night. Then ofc Daya wanted to wear something of mine too and I was rooting through my dresses for her when I woke up

DREAM 3

There was a popular fantasy adventure book series in this dream universe and the dream would switch from me reading it, to hearing about it to living in it from 3rd person at times and first person at times. It was about this guy who is going on a journey alongside others but he even though others are on the same journey, they can stick together and this guy has to be isolated, alone without help. In the dream I remembered hearing 2 people talking about the book and how its tragic to have to watch him go through the journey alone and you just feel so bad for him, but like halfway through the series you finally understand why he needed to do it alone. All of a sudden I’m now in the book first person although I know without seeing myself that I’m him and not irl me. I’m at the beginning, before he even knows what’s going on and I’m in “my” house but it didn’t actually look like mine irl I just knew it was supposed to be. My (real ) mom and sister are upstairs and I’m trying to whisper yell to my sister Daya to plot because I was suspicious of my mom, I had a feeling she was the villain and that she would turn on me any second and I’d have to run. So I was scrambling on the ground floor trying to pull on a dirty shirt and force my feet into my 11 year old sisters shoes just to have shoes bc I knew I’d have to run and couldnt go upstairs where my mom was. Then my mom and my sister come downstairs and Daya is cozied up to our mom and I realize for the first time that I’m on my own. I thought I had her on my side and we’d run together but I’m realizing I’m going to be running alone. And then fast forward to later there was another situation with 2 men this time that im talking to, they’re friends who are going through the journey too but I’m still on my own I can’t join forces with anyone else and theres no way to cheat. Then I was back out of the story and reading it again as a book. I was scrolling on YouTube to find reading ambience and I saw a video that at first was a reading ambience of the book but then it turned into being a short clip of episode 8 and someone saw me looking and said it’s the only released episode. The AI image attached is a visual of dream #3.

Here we go!

Dream #1 (Non-Lucid): I was at Walt Disney World, doing single rider and the System Formerly Known as FastPass to get on lots of rides.

Dream #2 (Fragment/Hypnagogic Imagery): My brain played to me the following lovely names, telling me that they are good names for women in stories: Chelsea, Lotion (!!!), and Dawn.

Dream #3 (Lucid): I was heading home. I arrived. I lived in a neighborhood in California, consisting of 3 houses with connected backyards. I opened the wrong garage door -- WHOOPS -- and sheepishly went back to mine, but I couldn't find it.

Then I was suddenly in Six Flags Magic Mountain. Somehow, this triggered my reality check. I was with T. but couldn't see her, which was annoying. I could only feel her presence. Anyway, I did the check, and thought "I think I'm awake". But I just kept thinking, how on earth did I randomly get teleported to Magic Mountain? T convinced me to do a reality check again and this time I realized I was dreaming.

At first, despite knowing that I was dreaming, I still kept looking for my house. Then, my fuzzy brain went NO you can do whatever you want! I completely forgot about the order of my three-step tasks and we just went to try casting a portal. This...Woke me up.

Dream #4 (Slightly NSFW, Non-Lucid): This lady was stripping in front of a group of guys in order to prove a point about sexism. I think I was just an observer; I was not in the group. I woke up shortly after this one.

This dream was non vivid and I don't have much recall of it but it had an interesting premise.

There was a restaurant/tavern in the woods run by talking animals. The one running it is (well I don't know exactly... He looked like some combination of a ringtail lemur, squirrel and koala bear.) This scene plays out the same and every time the owner is talking to his chef who is this sort of six-armed bear. There is an argument and a cast iron pot falls on someone and kills them. Then the bear who is arguing with the owner spills a pot of boiling oil which catches on fire and results in the tavern burning down.

This repeats every 17 minutes. (Though each run-through of this scenario seems to take a lot less than that). The setup is sort of like outer wilds, I must go through it over and over and eventually stop the disaster. However this seems really hard to do, there is some final-destination like rigging of events that makes them really difficult to prevent.

Last night I watched black mirror, freaked myself out and went to bed at 4am. I felt sick for some reason, you know when sometimes a fever will make you hallucinate, get sleep paralysis etc, and it’ll be really unpleasant. That was happening to me alllll night.

I couldn’t go to sleep in my normal position so I laid on my side with my right leg on top of my left (instead of over it - if that makes sense). I can’t fall asleep like this but I couldn’t get comfortable any other way. This launched me into sleep paralysis and then into a dream where I was given a Black Mirror type device to stick to my forehead and it would apparently make me experience any reality I wanted, but mine was faulty so instead I could only feel and not all my other senses.

Suddenly I found myself on the train in South Korea with the main character from Squid Games. He was in front of me but at the same time I was him. The people on the train were mad I’d won the games twice and suddenly started fighting me. It felt like something out of Cyberpunk - they all had robo arms or legs or robotic enhancements. I became lucid and was thinking damn this is an awful lucid dream to have, everything hurts. I dodged and fought them off.

Then I found a way to escape - by reversing time. A common way for me to escape nightmares is to reverse time or float up and I chose the former. I would reverse it by 10k years and they’d forget they were fighting me but quickly remember. Their appearance also changed every reversal as they were evolving backwards (only way quicker than evolution in the real world).

My goal was the reverse back to 100,000 BC because that’s when dream me thought humans branched off from our predecessors. It worked and they were friendly but looked like… aliens! They were a milky blue colour and started talking to me about the Avatar movie and that signaled to me that they were still aware of the present world and therefore still wanted to fight me.

I ran off the bus and onto the street where I was renting an apartment for the dream (literally rented an apartment for “dream duration”, very meta). I saw one of my ex friends and tried to avoid her. In the mirror I looked like myself but with lighter hair. I was wearing a traditional dress now and didn’t want to go outside bc it felt weird to wear.

And then I was brought back to my sleep paralysis WHILE being in a dream, with the Black Mirror device on my forehead. Like a dream within a dream. I woke up and remembered to do DEILD for the first time. I imagined pinching my nose every few seconds and then did it for real and found out I was dreaming. I tried to rise out of my body and it worked, upon which I tried entering the void but it was a fake void. I woke up again and did the same thing, and then finally woke up.

It felt exhausting and I lowkey wanna go to bed late again so I can experience all this but control it this time and not have a nightmare, but I can’t afford being so tired during the day.

Everything's gonna be heeeere.
Everything's gonna be here soon.

Fragment
In a waiting room with a mother and many children. She opens her monstrously large mouth and some children merrily walk in. What are they walking into?

Burned
Before the shell of what once was home, killdeers scream through the wilding green. We can not find their nests therefore we can not mow the mess. Aside the shell stands a concrete tube. Someone bumps it. Black liquid sloshes, slicks the siding. Someone else flicks a cigarette too near.
Ignite.
Rush into the shell of what once was home to rescue dust caked keepsakes, a family bible, a photo album, a strange spiral sculpture. "The keys are inside!" screams someone frantic. A pair of us charge the hungering flames. Gather all keys to be seen.
Escape.
And now the shell that once was home is the severest of nothing, not a scrap of foundation or flat, naked patch of earth to show where once it stood. They all spin and sing. They are stupid and free. I envy their absence of memories.

Dream
Some guy appeared twice and because of that claimed to be God. There was another person on the mountain bike track that was so stupid they couldn't even grasp the concept of stupidity.

Dream
Figuring out how to steal a special old camera from a party. There's some underhand magic fighting. Me and I think the guy from Kingsman had magic knives while the hosts of the party we were doing a heist on had magic canes. Small fight occurred where I saved my partner, one of the canes broke. I end up leaving and selling early because of some precognition/deja vu, perhaps from an earlier dream where it went sideways trying a better deal. So I just leave and end up on the mountain bike track from the dream before the WBTB

Had more dreams, can count at least 5 with 2 being lucid.
Only one dream is memorable though, and it starts in my teen school.

I spawn in, don't know how I got there but its filled, kids everywhere. Its a little like i started in school again. But I've been to this place in my dreams before. down the hall I'm standing in is 3 right turns and 1 in the middle to the left. (Right going into the classrooms of 4-5-6, Wood working class, Art class and Music class. The last hallway to the right goes to the indoor gym and showers. To the left is the director's office and classrooms 1-3 + a kindergarten.
I'm walking down the hallway, checking into the classrooms 4 and 5, class is in session, so I don't bother them. Other kids do though so I walk further, past Art class and over to the door for the gym.
(You have to go outside for you to get into the gym, which door is on the left when you exit the hallway door.)
I don't enter the gym, It's not the most practical and it just isn't fun to be in in a dream. So I keep walking along the outside of the gym. I see some kids playing here, not often do they come here. But I also see the massive pillars, shaped like an H, standing in the exercising field. And I realize its a dream.
My mind goes to the tasks and I don't remember them except for one. Elemental manipulation. So I literally conjure fire in my hand with a thought and throw it with the force of a thousand suns! (it was more like throwing a very light rock that didn't fit your hand.) It lit the grass on fire and I didn't wanna burn it too much so I just said "Stop burning" It did and smoke came rising up in its place.
A plant grew after, though not very pretty I said "Grow" to encourage it more, and up sprouted a little pink Tulip. It was brown in some spots, so I tried healing it 3 times until I realized it was only dirt.

Gotta keep up the grind of Dream Journaling! so I don't forget those other dreams.
P.s I think one was a lucid nightmare! Very thrilling
