I had a short random lucid dream like 20-40min after falling asleep at the beginning of the night. I havent been practicing and I suspect I have a lot of these types or randoms but my recall is terrible lately. I really need to start trying again. I was at the table with Alysha and she was mocking me telling me "to suck it up" and "be a man". I dont even know what it was about but I got so pissed she wouldn't stop. So I said, "Im about to knock you out" ( I only say that to the dog jokingly in waking life lol). Some old black woman materializes vetween us and starts calming me down and saying calming things and holding my hands over the trash can for some reason. I look over her at my wife to mean mug her but her appearance keeps shifting slightly and I recognize it as a dream. My anger leaves and I zoom over to her and tell her that I am so sorry and I forgive her. She says the same thing back. I say "I know you are just an aspect of myself but Im not going to say how I know that". Then we go to leave and she wants to make out but I want to go do things outside. I kiss her a little and then push away. I wake up.
No recall from last night, going to put down my dreams from the previous night though. Dream 1 I’m in a hospital waiting for a surgery or something. Two nurses begin prepping a ‘surgical pool cue’ for me. I have to hold it and rotate it slowly as they glue round metallic objects on the end of it. There were some technicalities regarding the cue tip as it had to be designed based on a fraction of the measurements of my body, though it just looked like a normal (but metallic) cue tip to me. After the surgery I find myself at home and I’m describing to Tami how funny the idea of a ‘surgical pool cue’ was, but also just how well made it felt. For example how polished it was, it was more like an art exhibit piece. Then we both notice it beside me and that I must’ve accidentally brought it home with me. So I started showing it to her in person, but it’s kind of different than before. Now it’s kind of got this textured wavy dark pattern all over it which makes me a little upset that it didn’t match my previous description to Tami - it made me feel like I betrayed her in some small way by not providing an accurate description of it. Dream 2 I’m piloting a large mech, one of the arms I control has a massive drill on it. I head over to the side of a dirt hill which is sheared and vertical, like some massive machine just took a chunk out of it. I test out the drill on this dirt wall for fun and it very easily carves into the wall. I felt free and really enjoyed how intuitive all of the movements were in this mech. I then head over to a cliff which overlooks a very large lake. There’s a man there and he points out a massive truck-like vehicle that sits at the bottom of the lake. It's very rusty and looks ancient, it’s a beautiful view. Apparently we live in some sort of micro-community that is working in this area, and it would somehow be really beneficial if we could remove this rusty structure/vehicle from the lake - even if we were to move it half a kilometer or less. We go over the details of the depth of the water and how feasible it would be to try to get in the water with mechs, without destroying them by going too deep into the water. Among other ideas we consider having divers go down to attach metal cables onto the structure, and then tie the other sides of the cables onto mechs on the land and then sort of drag it in a certain direction. Dream 3 Allen is in the PA house, parents room. He has hundreds of black binder clips clipped to his clothing. All arranged so that the non-black tong parts are facing down, if that makes sense. (They were facing the opposite direction as they are in this generated image) I kind of went into the room to see this, he stares at me and I just stare at him and take it all in then laugh about it. He then laughed too and was in a genuinely good mood, which is so unlike him. I walk away and run into Sue, who informs me that Allen updated some sort of contract making me legally obliged to do housework or something for them - it was called ‘the ring contract’, which she showed me on a clipboard - that had a heavy elaborate ring placed on the middle of the papers on it. I feel strange and betrayed, and just let down. Dream 4 I was in a garage playing some sort of wind instrument, possibly a didgeridoo. Someone puts some milkshake-like stuff in my hoody, and a friend's hat or something? But I didn’t notice until a minute or two after it happened. I was really upset about this and wandered out into a parking lot and crawled into the open hatch back of the car that I was certain the owner of this car was the one that milkshake-hooded me. The entire two front seats and the floor were just filled with the same milkshake stuff, which I spat in to get back at them. Everything about this dream felt so childish, definitely some sort of middle school pranking vibes. Also some feelings of betrayal which seems to have been the theme of this night!

I'm clicking through the pages on a shopping site, which lists 'sellers' - of what, I don't know. I see a picture of each seller's head and shoulders. The only one I remember, on the last page, is a Japanese woman in a high-necked shirt with a ruffled collar, with dark brown hair in a chignon on top of her head but also twisting over her right shoulder. She seems to be middle-aged with a warm smile. On the second-last page, under the list of sellers, is a large image of a clock and a sign saying 'Radio Tokyo' on a bustling street in the evening. A caption below says 'Write to Radio Tokyo'. I click onto the last page. Three sellers pop up (including the one described above) but after a moment they disappear. This is a problem with the site that I was already aware of, so I refresh, but am not much impressed by the sellers. I scroll past. Below, under a picture of a red light flashing in the night sky, the caption says: 'Message Joe at the Observatory'. Then I'm sitting at a sort of bar. This place is hard to describe. It's a narrow, polished wooden table, piled on one end with books and papers, facing into an empty ordering window in the wall of a bar. There are people in there and a man is sitting next to me in a rumpled brown suit. I realise I am on the street in the 'Radio Tokyo' picture. It's late at night and all the street lamps and shop lights are on, glowing golden. There is a radio on the table in front of me with several wires and jacks coming out of it, and a pair of headphones. The man sitting next to me has one earbud in and is listening. I realise that this radio is for free listening and pick up the other earbud, holding it to my ear. I think I hear something, although I don't remember what. On the radio's narrow screen is the date: 'Today is Friday, 28th January'. Then I am at home, at the dinner table. We have some guests here. I join in the conversation with everyone and it feels like we have had this conversation before. I get up and walk around the table to pick up a large pillow and a small thin bag from under two of the chairs, and I remember it all happening in reverse. Some other time I put all of those things there. Our discussion makes me think of that website I was looking at. I say that now there is a cost-of-living crisis, people can't afford to be choosy even when sellers are unreliable - they have to pick the cheapest option, even knowing they won't do a good job. It's too short for a new post, so I will also include Day 29: Night of Sunday 21.01.2024 Fragment: Half-asleep, I see my mother standing over me, asking if I feel sick. She tells me not to take a sick day from school but to think of our family's pride. She says she knows I just want to skip school because I'm too lazy to work, and I'll have a bad reputation if I always blow such trivial matters out of proportion and expect sympathy. Talk about harsh! Notes: - First time I've used the internet in a dream? As well as other technology - laptop, headphones, radio. - Entered the location of a photo! - An incorrect date, if only I'd been more aware... - Finally, I almost completely remembered a face. - Don't take my dream advice if you are poor and looking to hire workers. - I haven't been practicing any techniques since I got sick, so this is all I've got since the competition. I'm better now so will get back to work and hopefully recall will go up!
Wanting Flight: I'm in a house structured like the standard Alliance floor-plan from World of Warcraft. If you know the game, think the two-floor homes in Moonbrook, except well-maintained. It is day-time. There is a super-hero dead facedown in the yard. He has feathers and I surmise that he had bird-powers. I'm taking the body upstairs, and I'm trying not to be seen. At some point while traveling up the stairs, the body transforms, leaving only the outfit. I may have been trying to steal the hero's powers. Manuevering: I'm at my childhood home. My Dad is on the phone with the water company, working out bills. He might have been trying to negotiate a better rate. ... I'm upstairs with my niece, B, and she is smaller than she is in waking life. We're in my brother and I's room, rifling through a set of drawers near the front of the room. I'm worried that B will find age-inappropriate stuff in the drawer, and she does. I quickly hide the stuff, and try to draw her attention elsewhere. ... I'm up by the upstairs bathroom with my Uncle J. He is holding what looks like a document from waking life work. He's trying to talk down to me, as if he knows it better than I do (he does not). I try to let him down easy, not keen on allowing him to act this way, but also not wanting to hurt him. ... My Grandma and my Mom are in the living room. I'm on my way out of the house. I've left, but forgotten something. I go back and they give me a drinkable yogurt.
Observation: I get the sense that there are aliens who have the ability to shape perception such that they do not alert humankind. I false-awaken on the couch and my girlfriend is observing me strangely, and I suspect that she is actually one of these aliens. This scares me greatly. I wake up for real (still on the couch) and she is looking at me the same way.
User Error: I'm getting ready for work and my smartphone's alarm is going off. I turn it off, but it doesn't stop making sound. I get very frustrated. My girlfriend tells me it must be user error. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy, which isn't the one I have in waking life. Fragment: Something about Spongebob Squarepants.
Dream 1 Jesse is in a prison cell and the view is close up on his face. He looks all old and wrinkly. He's looking at his face in a mirror and slowly moving his head around while looking under one of his eyes. He says (to his cellmate?) 'oh look! If I face this way, and look here, there's a long wrinkle under my cheek that lines up with the pupil of my eye!'. As this was going on I was thinking to myself that he doesn't look like that at all. Then time jumps forward a bit and he's laying in his bunk, my view is his first person view. Sunlight pours in from a window on the left and half of his lower body is covered in it. His cellmate mentions that this place gets 14 hours of sunlight a day. There is a breeze coming in through the window and it's very cold. The view changes to outside of the prison, of a quad drone lifting off from the ground, Jesse is piloting it from inside the prison. As the drone is flying I think 'it would suckif he crashed it, there would be no way for him to set it back up again. Maybe the guards would set it back up for him?'. I feel kind of worried for him over this situation. The drone flies over a road and now the view is focusing on two cars that are driving on the road. Danielle was in the forward car and behind her was someone tailgating very closely. He pulls over off the side of the road and gets out of the car and runs down into a park, it turns out a bunch of police cars were chasing him, they pull over as well and begin looking for the man. The guy then murders someone (I'm not sure how, the view wasn't on him) and the police immediately find him and arrest him. Now the man is in a police department being interrogated by Walter White who is a detective. Walter is very angry and at one point is shouting so close to the other man's face that their noses briefly touch. At one point Walter inspects the man’s shin to discover there are four monster energy drinks* tied to it. He then kicks each one so they all leak their contents. The view jumps to Danielle in her car, who is worrying about feeling a ‘shock’ in her molars. Dream 2 I’m in a basement-like setting that feels like the H-town house. The LB’s and their friends are there. Sue comes in with a plate of bacon offering it to each one of the people there and each person declines. She looked sad that nobody wanted any so I took one. She was surprised I wanted one after turning it down, I made some excuse as to why I changed my mind. The bacon was awful, it was undercooked and cold. I didn’t really feel great about this location or the people I was around, I didn’t want to be here. I'm on their porch outside now and there's a damp outline of a turtle on it. It's beautiful out, it's very warm and sunny. I see older Paul laying over a small kid-pool reaching in it and some other people standing around it. There's the turtle from the damp porch outline in the pool, it's pretty large! I had the feeling they just got it recently and unfortunately it died. I felt sad for the poor turtle. They were trying to figure out if the water was not the right temperature or what could have caused it to die. The pool was right beside some old shed and then some people inside the shed called out ‘there’s mold in the shed!’ - to which the group of people present let out a collective ‘Ahhh..’ declaring that was the cause of death, case closed. Dream 3 I'm in the passenger seat of James's car and he’s speeding trying to make it through a traffic light before it turns red but he was a little late. We made it through but it was solid red for a second. He’s still speeding after the traffic lights and we’re in a very busy city, I’m feeling anxious about this and tell him to slow down. Behind us a sort of police-firetruck-hybrid appeared and was flashing its lights with its sirens on. James tried switching lanes to let it pass, I kind of laughed to myself over the idea that he didn't think they were trying to pull him over. They switch lanes as well and stay close behind us. James pulls over. I'm worried that there might be drugs or something in the car and I spot a quarter of a pill which I hide beneath the middle of the car seat. The cops are talking with us and one points out that our center console coin holder wasn't up to spec. I look and instead of a radio there's this large square metal device with lots of little compartments to hold all sorts of coins. Each compartment had a metal lid, though some were missing and others were bent and that's what the issue was. I sort of absentmindedly said 'oh yeah, it's just they're so expensive to fix you know?' - idk why I answered as if it was my car. The cop agreed and said he'd get James's insurance to pay for it to be repaired. At this point there was a drug sniffing dog on the scene, so I just grabbed the mystery pill and swallowed it. One of the cops pointed out that we were next to a new 'Zit store'. I asked 'Zit store? ..like pimples?' and he said 'Yeah! Nobody believes me though'. I am now zooming in on my location on Google maps on my phone and sure enough there's a small 'Zit store' wedged between two buildings nearby. I mainly felt anxious and annoyed throughout this dream. Dream 4 (fragment) Some kid is in prison, he keeps getting into fights with the others there. He has to be moved to another location or something. Dream 5 I'm driving at night in the middle of nowhere and being closely followed. I pull over into a grassy field and the other car does so as well. We get out of our cars and meet. Two of the three people that got out of their car excitedly rushed up to me showing me a large bowl of gummy worms and other candy that they 'brought for me'. The third person was standing closely behind me, they were taller than me which felt weird . I had a really creepy feeling about this, I felt like my neck was about to be broken for some reason. So I grabbed a huge ball of the gummy worms candy mix and shoved it in my mouth going 'mmmm!' with a thumbs up and a big gummy worm filled smile as I pivoted and backed up to see all three people clearly. I then notice the pinkish clouds way in the distance have a distinct voxel look to them, like we're in Minecraft and they were 'built' with millions of cubes - it looked beautiful. I said 'Woah.. Did you guys make all of this?? (As in, the entire world we were in)' They all responded 'Yup!' This dream had a sort of fun feeling, besides the person that was behind me for that moment. * I bet this is from reading one of the shirecats dreams days ago that I commented on about the monster energy drinks. I had so many dreams involving like, cops or prison or murderers last night - what the heck! After receiving advice from a friend, I tried to focus more on recalling more about how I felt in these dreams. Turns out I kind of neglect that so I think it will be helpful!
I was in some busy street, there was some asain restaurant. I entered, there were several people with sushi on their plates. I checked my wallet to be sure it was there, it wasn't, so I left the store. I walked down the street a bit and then forgot what I left the store for. I reentered and remembered that I left cause I forgot my wallet. I was really embarrassed so I grabbed a straw and a pack of chopsticks off the front desk and left. [COLOR="#008000"]I got out of bed, I felt weightless, but I was really short for some reason. I walked outside and noticed that I returned to normal size. I started digging in one place to get under the house but I wasn't making much progress. I went to a part with a different dirt type and started digging. I accidentally broke off a piece of the wall. It had soggy plywood boards and fiberglass. I stopped cause it felt gross, I then remembered that I wanted to go down the street to see if it would be like the last time. I walked down my driveway. I looked to the east, the sky brain was gone. I looked forward and in the distance there were several tall buildings that resembled the Washington monument. I went down the street, I passed some houses, there was a metal gate in my way so I just walked through it. There were some cars, and I could see some buildings, to the south was a brown square building with red cloth draped on the exterior. To the north was a big hotel and a smaller hotel. I walked to the large hotel and entered. I slipped into the elevator and accidentally pushed all the buttons, so I pushed a button that deselected them. There was a man in there with me. He asked for a name, I was stunned because I had a sense that I was trespassing."E?" he asked, 'Ethan.' I then smacked my face because I definitely do not look like an Ethan. He that said the name of my favorite cousin, and the elevator moved up. I walked into the hallway, there was a room across from the elevator with the door open. I entered and I recognized some of my cousin's friends. She sat at a table, I greeted her with a hug and she said something and I said something about it being a dream, and she tells me "It's a world now because you've been here so long." we move to a couch, she closes her eyes and slows her breathing. I hear three pings like the ones from assassins creed, she gives a date "(i forgot)/24/24, I will die a horrible death from a firebomb." I copy her movements, I don't hear the pings, but I feel them in my mind, I have a hard time making it out but I think I see the words '11 MST burger' I then open my eyes. My parents have joined me and we start a conversation about something, I notice my 3ds is flashing red so I get up to grab a charger my mother screams something about me being addicted to games and grabs at me. Everyone is now pissed off so I sit in a chair, stare at the wall, and remind myself not to let a dream character make me too mad. I am staring into the wall when something catches my attention. An army or something is blowing up the stairs. I run past the stairwell, there's an explosion, I go into a room and hide under the stove. I notice that there's no wall behind it. I crawl under it, and I walk under all the shelves into a secret room. A man dressed as Luigi jumps into a pipe, I try to jump in after him, but I land wrong. I get up and some guy shows up, and a bunch of zelda dialogue bubbles pop up with too many words to read as the dream fades. [/COLOR]
This will be my first post on this platform as I am a new user but I am looking forward to reading and connecting with other individuals. I have a lot of experience with lucid dreaming and I have been doing it for several years now. Recently I have begun a new phase of my adult life; I have lost interest to carnal desires and I am going on 3 years strong of complete sobriety. I even managed to completely ditch energy drinks which was a very hard thing for me to accomplish. I believe that all these factors contribute to my most recent lucid dream. My dreams usually become lucid about half way through when I realize that I am dreaming and I completely gain control of the dream experience. Yesterday's dream started the same as all my other lucid dreams have done, only this time things were a lot different. I have been trying to connect to the metaphysical for several months now through meditation so the idea of reaching out to my higher self has been at the back of my mind for a while. My dream from yesterday went from lucid to sleep paralysis which often also leads to astral projection for me but this time I was aware enough to call out to my higher self. I requested its presence and it is then that I heard a voice in my head. I couldn't see anything but I could hear a voice and feel very intense vibrations throughout my entire body. It was honestly kind of intimidating but I managed to not become fearful and kept on asking my higher self the questions that I wanted to know. The first thing that I asked it off the bat was what my purpose was. The voice responded that it knew but could not tell me because it would get in trouble. That one got to me because it almost assured me that there is a cosmic law that even higher beings have to follow. I made the mistake of not writing down what I asked it as soon as I woke up because I can not remember the full conversation. Another thing that my higher self told me wasn't an answer to a question but a message of its own to me. It told me that my daughter had a gift for science and that she had the gift to obtain a great career in this realm. I was taken back because none of my other two boys were brought up, only she was. It requested that I feed this gift by nurturing her curiosity and making her feel supported. Now I'm contemplating how I can provide her with a good scientific education, she already goes to a good school for girls that is set up to help young girls obtain greatness. The last exchange I remember having with this sentient being is telling it that I loved it dearly and appreciated its helpful information. I woke up with the same amount of consciousness that I had going in as if the fine line between sleep and being awake was non present. Now that I have had my first conversation with my higher self, I will continue to expand my experiences in this topic and post them here so that I can know if anyone else out there has gone through something similar.
Forgot by now what the original lucid dream was about exactly, but it was another thing where only I could do something. Not sure why that type of dream appeared two nights in a row. I left into the attack on titan world for the final day of the challenge through making the city fold up from the ground. It was already cool seeing every building rise into view but seeing the walls go even higher than expected was impressive to see. Even after all the other dreams I could not get used to how huge they are. I almost began destroying the city from the start, but I was able to remember about the whole deal of only destroying more if the survey corps attempted to evacuate. I headed straight for the barracks, preparing a sword out of the long hair-like strands of hardening I had on me. As I neared the barracks, I noticed one of the titan team members waiting by a building. I went with them and we entered a building where I met many more team members than in any other dream. I could tell this was supposed to be everyone on the titan team for the competition along with several dream characters. I was already confident with the few from before but this seemed like overkill. We strategized a bit and when the meeting ended we headed towards the barracks in groups. Each of the members had swords with them from my ability to defend themselves in human form. Since the survey corps did not know of our full numbers we had a group with all known titans, with the others splitting to spread across to cover more ground. We could see that training was still going on, so it appeared they listened to our demands from the last dream. My group walked up to the front gate, seeing some of the survey corps already standing there waiting. They tried to convince us to turn back as our last chance before the attack happened, with their swords already out. In the middle of conversation one of them rushed at me and tried cutting my head off. Quick enough to call it instinct, I was able to stop the blade with my hand and shattered it. Seeing the risk to the other teammates and wanting to add impact, I used mass telekinesis to shatter all the other swords pointed at us in what appeared to the characters as a result of the impact. Our group transformed and the fight began. With our appearance several of the buildings in and out of the base had their windows shattered as countless survey corps attempted to end the fight before we could cause any destruction. With all the soldiers coming out, some were slicing at legs and other at arms but I noticed they were not aiming for the nape for some reason. Since the colossal titan already transformed, he ran into the center of the base to completely crush everything there. I was trying to defend myself by flinging the people attached to my arms and stomping at those near my legs, but the amount of people was much higher than in any other fight. Looking to check on the other titan, he was already on the ground with no limbs left. Even without aiming for the weak spot, disabling the titan brought him down and made the nape much easier to hit for the kill. It was too late for me to save them, but their strategy was now clear. The other titans surrounding the base started transforming in an attempt to overwhelm the survey corps, but I could see countless soldiers come out the buildings near them as well. This was clearly meant to be a fight between the entirety of both teams. I restricted my dream control to only what my titan could reasonably do, as I wanted it to be a fair fight. With each group rushing at the barracks, there were three other titans that were very quickly cut down by all the soldiers slicing at their limbs. I started trying something similar to my titan sized sword in a past dream through spinning blades around my limbs to cut the cords off the soldiers surrounding me. Even if they were not killed by the blades, they would eventually lose both cords and either fall to their deaths or be unable to come back up. The colossal titan is capable of releasing a ton of superheated steam at once for a massive explosion, so we got him to do that even if it hit other titans. Although some titans were hurt by the blast, it terribly burnt and even killed some of the survey corps surrounding the titans. Between the blasts of heat, one of the soldiers were able to launch themselves up at the colossal titan’s nape and take it down. Even if we were able to take down most of the survey corps, about half of the titans have already been killed. I began forming spikes and blades from the ground near the other titans to defend them, and that brought the soldiers’ attention to me. To end the fight, getting them all to attack me would prevent me from needing to run at every single soldier. Once every soldier was on me, I formed walls in all directions to close them in with me. Having it close off as a dome, they were unable to escape. With their teamwork they were able to cut my body down and even decapitate my titan form, but my ability to move my human body within kept those attacks from finishing me off. Reforming limbs and spikes with the hardening as they kept fighting eventually brought me to not even resemble a humanoid shape anymore. It was difficult to get the last few survey corps as they continued dodging and cutting at my endless spikes but eventually they were worn down along with their equipment through running out of swords or gas. Once I finally got to one soldier left, I took down the titan form to fight them one on one as a human. Bringing out my own blade against their last sword, we were able to talk as we fought. Complimenting each other’s strategies and skill, we somewhat bonded even as clear enemies. Our swords finally snapped, and we were able to come to an agreement. Although we had the plan to wipe all the survey corps out, I would want to fight this soldier again. We chose to end the fight as a draw, and I made a way for them to leave the walls I formed without the other titans noticing. On pulling down the walls, the rest of the titans saw there was no one left and claimed victory. Those of us left were able to gather for a celebration in a successful ending to the pr. I doubt I would return to this specific pr but there is enough left over for the pr to continue developing if I were to come back.
I'll include Day 28 (Friday 19th) in this entry as well. Night 13: Fragment: I stand outside one of my school's buildings and look in through the window. It's a bow window, which differs from IRL. There's a new room next to the secretary's office, a long and narrow room, warmly lit. The floor was polished wood and inside is a TV on a stand against the near wall, facing a row of austere black school chairs. I saw one of my teachers standing in there. However, when I entered the building, I couldn't find a door into this room. Good RCs: 1pt WBTB (failed): 2pt Fragment: 0.5pt Night 13 total: 3.5pt Night 14: Fragment: I'm on my bed, feeling groggy.

Winter Competition Night 12 Most cliché dream I ever remember having. I read a lot of transmigration manga. I've definitely had this dream before. A girl is transported into a fantasy world - I remember that she had bobbed black hair and wore a hoodie and jeans. After some back-and-forth (which I don't remember) among the society's elders, she is assigned to live with two guys who don't like her. They disapprove of the food she puts in the cupboard, her tastes, where she goes. But she has strong magic powers so they let her stay as per orders. Another day they are watching a scene projected onto a big screen in a large, grand, wood-panelled hall (it looks a lot like an IRL place I know) when the boys cause images of a girl screaming while being electrocuted to play on the screen, intending to upset her. Enraged, her whole body crackles with electric light and she levitates out of her seat. She destroys the screen and everyone gasps out loud. She then faints and is caught by a female elder. After this incident she is given a room in the boys' house. Fragment: Someone stole my phone! I'm floating in the blue sky at about roof-level when I see my phone fly out of my hand and rapidly away. I am shocked and about to give chase to get it back, but my dad says it's fine since I need a new phone anyway. I hadn't actually had that dream before. But throughout the dream I felt a strong sense of déjà-vu. I was sure that this was a dream I had dreamt before. How didn't I become lucid despite thinking that...

January 19th, 2024 I took notes on the 19th but didn’t finish writing up the dreams until now. Some details might be missing. Fragment 1: Northward Bound Driving over a bridge. The bridge leads to a northern Alaska city. There is something to the right on the other side of the bridge – a business or road or something. There was some detail here I don’t quite remember. Anyway, I look at a map of the area, looking at somewhere to the north. I think I was looking at some islands, possibly looking for ones that didn’t have any towns on them. Fragment 2: Airport Trouble In an airport. I go somewhere, and leave my bag and a cane behind me. The bag gets confiscated (since I left it alone in the airport). I try to get it back. Also, my grandmother’s bag may have been confiscated as well and I try to get her’s back. Dream 1: Gunpowder Plot People have several bags of gunpowder. They stack them on top of something and set them on fire. Only about 4 of them detonate. Someone has put one of the bags of gunpowder on a bag of dog food. There is a man who really likes dogs, and will do a lot to save them. He runs out to rescue the bag of dog food and is killed in the explosion. This makes the guy who put the gunpowder bag there “almost guilty of murder”, according to my notes. The guy who placed the gunpowder flees “north, I think”. (I think this dream was inspired by an episode of Attack on Titan that I had recently seen, in which gunpowder was used as explosives). Fragment 3: Stained Glass and Experiments Actually, I don’t remember much of this one. All my written notes say is “stained glass etc. Experiments”. Fragment 4: Big Storm We are in some place – a village out in the countryside or something. Anyway, there is a big storm – a hurricane, it seems. Where we are now is in the eye of the storm, and there are storm clouds all around. There are tornadoes inside the storm clouds as well. Fragment 5: Sidewalk Painting I, and someone else, I think, are painting on the sidewalk. We seem to be drizzling a red paint around (or maybe it’s sidewalk chalk?). There is a dog that comes wandering along, and might walk through the paint. This is ok though, apparently that’s supposed to happen to spread the color around. Dream 2: Metal Mystery There is some kind of a mystery involving a piece of metal that is attached to a small chain. The chain is around my waist, sort of like a pocket watch. Something has been snatched off of this meta – possibly it was a pocket watch that someone took. I seem to be lying on a bed. My grandfather might be there too...In a bathroom, there is a big sign above a mirror. I need to throw rocks at this – actually I have to hit it with just one rock. It’s a bit of a gamble, but the sign is pretty big so it should be fairly easy to hit. (Not sure if this was the same dream, but I’ll put it here). A guy (me?) is following someone. He goes down a sort of chute/slide. The slide goes down into a dip, and then comes back up again. It seems like he didn’t have enough momentum to get out of the dip, or something. He gets stuck down there, but is rescued by some people from Star Trek (“Kirk, etc.”, according to my notes). They go and hang out at a café or bar. In my notes it says ‘“who is prepared for”?’, in quotes like that followed by the question mark. I think someone was saying this to the people in the café/bar. (Also not sure if this is the same dream.) We are somewhere (the café/bar?). It is time to leave. I think about using the restroom first, but the only toilet is situated at the bottom of a set of stairs and is difficult to use. I decide to wait until we get to the restaurant where we are supposed to be going. I think we might be getting a pizza there. But in the end we don’t go to the restaurant, we just decide to eat the food we have at home. This kind of disappoints me, I think. Fragment 6: Dad’s House In this dream, my father owns a house that we used to live in while I was growing up. He has done some fancy remodeling to the place, including the use of metal nails. I wonder if they are copper nails, but they seem to be some kind of alloy. [My notes say: “what about” kids – the ‘what about’ being in quotes like that.] I think someone asked him how he justified spending all that money to fix up a house that he could be using for his “kids”. He says that he plans to move up here with the kids. January 20th, 2024 Dream 1: Mansion In an old house. I go upstairs, and it is a rather beautiful mansion. There seems to be a lot of antique furniture and old belongings up there, as though someone left it many years ago and never returned. In the process of looking around, I accidentally bump a piece of the furniture next to me and a small shelf falls off. In trying to put it back on, a shoe falls off, and then some clothes. I try to put the clothes back on a hanger, but have trouble. I also have trouble putting the drawer back together and stacking things the way they were originally. I think about whether I should tell the homeowners what I did, or just let it go and hope they don’t notice. Fragment 1: Crossing a Bridge Crossing over a bridge that I seem to have dreamed about a couple of nights ago. I’m trying to take a bicycle over it, and am walking the bike. Another guy comes along and pushes past me, which I think is a little rude, but he seems to work there so I guess it’s OK. He then asks me if I can see what condition the restroom downstairs is. (Interesting note – this dream had reminded me of a similar dream I had earlier, but I couldn’t remember what it was until just now when I was typing up my notes from the 19th. It feels as though this was the same bridge as the one from the northern Alaska dream from that night). Fragment 2: Friends and Neighbors Driving or riding somewhere. We come across a couple of women from our church. I haven’t seen them for a while. Now I’m at a neighbor’s house. There is a football game, or something, going on. Some kind of a tradition where people kick something or at least raise one of their legs, and we are wondering which leg it will be. January 21st, 2024 Fragment 1: Football Election There is a football game going on. It might be the Super Bowl. I, and the people watching with me, are hoping that one team wins. Somehow the game is related to something like nursing jobs – if the other team wins we think it will hurt the nursing industry somehow. I keep getting it mixed up in my mind whether this is a football game or an election. I ask how much time is left in the game. It’s in the third quarter now. Fragment 2: Foam on the Window There is some sort of packing foam on the window next to my couch.
Dream 1 I'm walking around a mall super sarcastically, like with my arms way out to the side like I'm muscular and jacked and taking huge exaggerated strides. I'm also wearing sunglasses but the arms that would rest on my ears are several inches higher, giving my sunglasses a huge tilt. I have shorts on that are unbuttoned and unzipped so I had to walk with my legs very far apart so that they don't fall off. I strut into a clothing store and stand in front of a full body mirror by a cashier. I nod at myself in the mirror and just stand frozen in an awkward pose for far too long then look at the cashier and say "hell yeah!" Then I leave the store. I'm now leaving the mall, walking and acting more normal now. I am expecting to see James and his friend Margot here somewhere. I leave the mall and run into James and Margot on the way out but I make some excuse as to why I can't hang out and walk past them, mainly because of how i'm dressed. I look for my car but then notice the whole parking lot is flooded with like 5ft of water, all the cars must've been shorter than that because there wasn't a single one to be seen. I wait and it all drains away eventually. I spot my car which appears to be a 70s or 80s stingray Corvette. I try to start it but no luck, maybe the water fried it. The parking lot is slanted a bit so I put the car in neutral and start coasting on the slight slant. After coasting for a bit I try to start it again but it still fails. I have to maneuver around some other guys with the same issue trying to start their stopped car, but I come to a stop. The guys take a look at my car and point out that it's actually idling, one of the times I tried to start it was successful and I had not noticed. I test the gas and some water shoots out of the tailpipe. Dream 2 I'm at the PA house, I think Inka is moving in. Tami and I check out the basement and we're keeping the lights on for some potted plants growing down there. At one point I'm fixing my hair in a mirror and I make some crazy expressions jokingly and am a little freaked out that I don't look quite myself. Dream 3 Jim Carrey is buying some $3mil sports car. He acknowledges that he has had 50m in his bank and that he could've bought one whenever he wanted to, but 'actually doing it is exciting!'
Uhh, not sure what the deadline is for this comp, but I’m uploading this anyway… I hope next time I’m not so busy Night 10 Decent RCs. Dream #1 (Non-Lucid): Yuu had gotten Mika (both from OnS) into some trouble and now he’d been eaten by a giant ogre. His soul was being used to go on a killing spree. Yuu got himself eaten to save him and destroyed a bracelet to “hide” Mika’s energy. Dream #2 (Non-Lucid): Two guys were in a relationship but one was pretty toxic, he was upset that the other didn’t go to school with the green lipstick he’d bought him. He shoved him down on the couch and went on a ten-minute rant about how it was way cuter than normal lipstick… Dream #3 (Non-Lucid): I was in a school classroom in China, and a boy had taken a video of another boy sleeping on desks with two girls. He was trying to stir up trouble, so I took his phone and deleted it, forcing him to unlock his “recently deleted.” Dream #4 (Lucid): The girls from Life by Suenobu Keiko were in a mall buying something at a cash register. Ayumu ignored a guy hitting on her to jump on Hatori, squealing, “Hatori, I neeeed youuuu~!” Hatori hugged her back with one arm. “You know, Ayumu, I like to have fun, but being a pal will always come first.” In the distance was an ex-teacher who was now a professional race driver, trying to recruit her old students to the derby. Scene change. (J) and I were in Japan in an Ethiopian store. I took some candies out of a jar that was displayed before we left. “Hey, isn’t that stealing?” (J) asked. “Uhh, I don’t think so. Why would they be out in the open like that if they weren’t for people to take?” “Lots of stores do that. Doesn’t mean it’s free game.” “Well, whatever.” As we were walking, I noticed the snow was melting and started running home. Except I was only running with one leg, which made me think, It’s like a dream… I told (J) I needed some help running and grabbed her hand. She quickly got ahead of me, but somehow I could feel her hand even when we were disconnected. For a second I wondered about the physics of that, but then I realized it was impossible. This must be a dream! I told (J) and she easily believed me (this is not what I mean by my personal goal of making a DC lucid). She wondered if I would still feel her hand if one of us died, and since she’d never died in a dream before we decided she would be the one to kick the bucket. I decided to kill her myself to hopefully reduce the amount of adrenaline. We both held the string of a balloon to connect our hands, and then I grabbed another, trying to make a beam of light explode out of it and hit her. But it just jerked weakly to the side and deflated with a tiny glow. Next I tried to shoot energy out of my hands, but that didn’t work either. (J) made fun of me, saying, “This is why you should never try silly, informal experiments! Never! Never! Never! Never!…” I woke up as she was chanting. Dream #5 (Non-Lucid): Someone on DV dared people to be their friend, so I sent them a request and they instantly accepted. Suddenly a timer appeared on the screen for me to become their “grandchild.” I was confused but accepted in a panic. A new section on the website unlocked and spammed me with notifications. Apparently grandchildren had responsibilities, something to do with chatting with people. I woke up before I could find out more. Dream #6 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): I was drawing, experimenting with clothing creases and shading. Night 11 Decent RCs. Dream #1 (Non-Lucid): I could make these video-game mushrooms fall from my hands using my summoning strategy. (So upset I didn’t get lucid…) I proceeded to “hallucinate” many things, one of which was a cute bunny eraser that I could hold firmly. I was shocked that no one else could see or feel it. Later I went to (J) & (L)’s house and (A) was sleeping over. I was a bit upset but didn’t want to go in because I wasn’t wearing a mask. Dream #2 (Non-Lucid): My brain combined the games Alter Ego and Project Sekai. Anyone with over 27J EGO was invited to a ProSeka event where they were giving out $3,000 scholarships. The parking was very weird, located in the very back of this pool place, and inside the seating arrangements seemed to be designed for a psych experiment. In the end I gave up trying to figure out the meaning and just sat next to (J). I complained about having lost my old account with 999.99Z, since it would've made me eligible for a much larger scholarship. Dream #3 (Non-Lucid): Fantasy world. This boy could choose his “mom,” and always chose dragons for some reason. His first mom was like an extremely toxic yandere, she had so many rules and ended up eating him so he wouldn’t leave her. He was reborn and this time moved in with a friendly old dragon on an island, who only hated it when people got angry. The boy didn’t get angry often, but one day he wanted to be the only one to water the flowers, to be “MVP” or something. He yelled at the old dragon, who went silent and trudged into his house. Woke up before I could see any real consequences. Dream #4 (Fragment, Non-Lucid): One of my brothers was watching me from under my bedroom door. I was annoyed but not frightened. Night 12 I woke up at 4:00 and went back to sleep, but I don’t remember any dreams before this one. Decent RCs. Okay it pains me to do this, but the dreams from here on are sooo long and I don’t have time to type them out, so I’m just going to put the titles. Dream #1 (Non-Lucid) Night 13 Decent RCs and brief meditation. Dream #1 (Non-Lucid) Dream #2 (Non-Lucid) Dream #3 (Non-Lucid) Night 14 Decent RCs and brief meditation.
