All DJ Entries

Note: There is a guy staying at our house (hopefully temporary). Who is a half native guy. He's into new agey stuff and is very experienced in dream sharing. He's also gay. I have told him previously about my experiences with dream sharing. He seems to have his own biased view on dreams. I have not told him about Jamie. And I will not. He seems to be the guy who was interfering with me and Jamie in my dreams, causing the false break up from the previous entry. I also don't trust him because when I was alone at the house with him the other day, he blew up at me out of nowhere. He started yelling and cussing me out over a minor disagreement ( because I didn't want to listen to him or his advice on certain things.) in any case, I have ceased discussing any dreams or spiritual stuff with him. I have prayed daily that he can no longer interfere with our dreams... Jesus has been silent in the dreams so... But I have enlisted Raven to help. She says she wants to do something while her mother spends her last days in hospice. Just keep in mind she may not always be able to help if she's too stressed out or depressed. To Jamie if she reads: if you are dreaming about me being mean, or "breaking up." Or being abusive in dreams. It's not me. I don't know what this guy is capable of, or how long he will try to interfere. Just pray about it if it can help.

Forgot one dream from last entry:

Jamie 1

Me and Jamie are working on a hairdressing head working on braids or something. Nice.

Girl

Just a flash of a young girl barely older than a toddler picking up grass and handing it to me.

Jamie 2

Sex dream with Jamie. In Asuka's garden of all places. We were somehow in mid air and teleporting a few feet every few seconds... Wtf. Funny tho.

Annoying guy 1

I was in a strange hotel area with a big room or something. People were sitting in cubicles. I was on a person train riding tricycles. Behind me was a fake Jesus with a pride flag. Jamie was in one of the cubicles. I think I was trying to do something to impress her. Can't remember what I did. I had a feeling like it was that guy's inner world.

Annoying guy 2

A dream of Jamie's face in the black space. She's being mean and cussing me out badly. But inside the Jamie image is another face... That guy, and I can see his facial hair.

Wake up and her voice seems upset with me. I tried to calm her down and she said. " What is going on with our dreams lately?"

Annoying guy 3

Sitting in a chair across from the guy and having coffee. I look to my right and see a giant hole in the wall.

So he's breaking in now?

* 2024-07-17 LD #312
* I come to consciousness sitting on the edge of a bed in a corner of a bedroom, and I hear the sound of rain falling on to the roof and the side of the house. I'm looking at something (magazine, tablet) with the picture of a man dressed in red. I notice I'm wearing a watch on my right wrist and see that the face and part of the red color is visible also filling the face of the clock, which I think is odd, so I nose pinch, and become lucid. I stand up and go to the door of the room, I want to enter the main house. Things get hazy and blurry, I move through doors and find myself in a large living room. I look to the left, and see wife E sitting at a long table on a laptop. She looks young and healthy with that thick, luxurious brown/black hair. I'm really happy to see her, and come up to her and offer a warm greeting and a hug, but she's very stern and is all business. "I have an important message for you [from heaven", and I feel fear, I think they know about some of my secrets, and I think that's stupid, of course they know, but I'm still waiting in trepidation to listen to what she says. She says that she overhead others talking about this. Then she tells me that of our two children (me and wife L), one will die, and one will have very hard times. I'm confused by this message because both L and I are too old to have kids, and we don't have any now. I think it doesn't apply to me. Wife L enters the room and moves to a corner and fiddles with a cabinet, she's wearing a white outfit made up of criss-crossing straps. She doesn't really look like her waking self. I think this is probably the first time they've ever been in a dream together, so why not introduce them. I ask L "what's your name?" And she answers "L" accurately. I go over to her and touch her briefly. She leaves the room and the house through the front door. A standing stove over by the fireplace catches my eye and I go to it and tell E that hey it looks like an old Soviet model. I also see a green Christmas tree. I want to go after wife L I want to talk to her some more, I run out the front door and there is a night-time suburban hilly neighborhood stretching out before me. L is in a car and taking off, "come back!" I call but she drives off. I fly after her but I'm too slow, I will myself to fly faster and I get a big "turbo boost" at high speed but she still drives away. I forget here and notice a convenience store just up ahead, and a young woman standing outside it. Then I notice a convertible car driving from right to left up a hill, top down, 4 people driving in it, some girls in the back seat, I fly after them, slow at first then again will high speed and shoot forwards at high speed, land in the car in the back seat. I decide I want to return to the house and score some comp points, maybe teleport there, I wake up.
* 2024-07-17 LD #313
* Get lucid in a room in a house, full of clutter and objects, and a ton of kids hanging around. There are some people sitting at a table including an attracting young woman, I go up to her, stand behind her, and massage a part of her. I decide I want to see her skin and her body under and around becomes visible. I remember the competition and want to store some points so I look around and with all the kids around decide to do mass DC control. First will them all to become cats, and most of them do! Then I gesture and TK them all to the couch in the middle of the room, and this works as well. I go to the couch and then see that I missed one who was hiding behind some piece of furniture and so avoided my TK. I walk away from the couch and turn around to face it and call out to them, "What does a cat say?" They answer in a group, unison voice "WOOF!". I chuckle and then ask them again, this time applying control so that they'll answer "meow", and they do answer "meow." The kids want to watch TV so I take off flying around the room, looking for a TV. The room has a very high ceiling and there is a wide ledge running around the perimeter of the room at the level of a 2nd floor. It's full of objects, furniture, I notice a pool table. I return to the couch and there's a TV, I switch it on and notice a brief image appear. I move to the kitchen and as I pass a refrigerator on my left, an unseen DC behind me asks, "is it worth it to sell your soul?" I stop and say "absolutely not, no pleasure is worth an eternity of pain and suffering". I turn around back towards the couch and notice a container of chocolate ice cream on the counter, I take off the lid and see the partially melted brown ice cream, pick up a small spoon and eat a spoon of the ice cream, there is no flavor or texture, I wake up.

- I was walking outside on a sidewalk noticing a piece of my tooth was loose and i eventually pulled it out, i was uncomfortable because i hate tooth issues and then remmebered that i have those in dreams more often than irl so i did a nose plug and became lucid (+1), instantly tried to teleport but i just ended up spinning faster and faster and got dizzy with a brown blur all around me

Before WBTB

Ghost Data:
I'm playing N64 with brother. It's Mario Kart.
We're playing against ghost data, trying to win against difficult race times. They had been set by Youtube streamers.
He hands a controller to me and it is sweaty and coated in Cheeto dust.
My brother couldn't beat them, but when I try I start doing well. This excites me.

After WBTB

Time Travel:
I'm floating in the air above a living room setup in what may have been JH's basement from my childhood, it's a tense situation.
There's a limited time to make a time travel portal work, or else we will the stuck.
There is a thin grocery bag tied around my leg, that needed to go into the portal.
But I'm all jumbled up and can't get my body to move the way it needs to.
I pull off the trick, and then I see a potential future.
It involves an alternate version of my Dad, but then it stabilizes into the current version.
I'm through the portal, fall face first onto the floor. A girl says "Oh we don't mind this guy!"
The world has been saved.

Road Trip:
I'm in a neighborhood waiting in the backseat of a big car. It's a family road trip.
My Dad's friend has offered to drive us with his car on the trip.
Something is wrong with the car though, so we are waiting around.
My Dad, Mom, My brother, his wife, her Grandpa, my sister, nephew, niece, Grandma and some others are there.
Eventually, the car gets running, but somebody had stepped out of the car.
We start driving to go to where he is. I roll down the window and say "GET TO DA CHOPPA!"
He looks like J from high school marching band.
He fits into the car, but now it is pretty cramped. I'm curled into a ball shape to fit between the seats near the back.
My brother and sister are fighting about something, and eventually my brother comes to hang out in the back with me.
My parents give him some shit about getting along and my brother says "nah it's fine, I'm just the grumpy grandpa!"
"Yeah, me too." I say sarcastically. Peace ensues in the back seat.
...
We're driving through a mall-area, and my Grandma points out a Chuck-E-Cheese to me.
I wonder how old she thinks I am.
Eventually we end up at a ninja-themed Barcade, and apparently it has been decided that this is a suitable place for family dinner.
There is a girl there that I think is cute, so I'm focused on her.
I'm handed some drinks in a plastic bag, some monsters.
For some reason I decide to dump water in the bag with the monsters.
Later I regret that and find a way to dump the water and just keep one monster.
I go behind the bar and do that, and then weasel my way around, apologizing for bumping staff as I go.
I found a bathroom, and the girl tells me there is a small one and then a big one for me.
I don't know what that means, but I go and find out.
The "big one" is a urinal game where you shoot your pee into targets for a score.
Apparently somebody can see me and says "Ah, I didn't think somebody would try it...go for it!"
I hit some targets, but I don't have that much ammo in me. I resolve to start chugging some monster so that I can be better prepared next time.

Dream #1:
Vivid imagery of large wooden ships stuck on the shore. Something else (gov?) had took their moorings so they were stranded. I could see each wood plank starting to buckle under the weight as waves crashed over it and pressed it into the shore. Hundreds of barrels of alcohol were lined up next to it, some tumbling and crashing into the boat. Another large ship crashes into the first, and hits the sparking electric panel which causes a massive explosion.

Dream #2:
I’m in some sort of social experiment. I am the ‘fake’ outcast and I’m sneakily moving supplies into a building. When I see another person I hide, since I must not seen. It’s a forced situation, and the rest of the group is supposed to catch me if they see me, but they also know what I’m doing is actually helping the group. As I’m hiding I feel small like a house cat or a mouse.

Dream #3:
There is a larger earthquake and I’m part of a team that is looking through the rubble for things to return to those who had lost them. Another reason for the team to go is that we got to keep some of the items for ourselves. I dig through the rubble and find a rock collection. The main things are ocean jasper hearts. There were also rhodolite garnets in clear quartz. Finally, a couple other specimens pieces that I decided to keep.

Summer Competition 2024 - Night 14

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


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

Jamie 1

Just Jamie smiling at me. She has a bunch of photographs of herself and she gives them to me. But we're in the black space and the photographs are floating towards me. I don't couldn't see what was in the pictures because I woke up.

It's really too bad all the SEARS shut down. Those corny photograph setups they had for couples and families would be perfect for me and Jamie. :p

Last night:

Black sky

Everyone was in this weird lockdown. Something was happening in the sky. It was all black with black clouds. Suddenly everyone was released and we could walk from our homes. I remember going outside and going into a car.

Following

Might have been a part of the previous dream I was walking with someone towards a mall. I think Jamie was following behind us but she looked like some Jamaican girl I used to work with.

I turned and said, " stop following. We're broken up now. Please respect my decision." The girl kind of vanishes.
I say to who I'm with , "I don't like this breakup. You get so used to someone and doing things together..." The person I'm with just kind of nods. Suddenly Jamie is with us again...

I wake up and her voice asked me if we're broken up? I'm like: no, we're not. I have no desire too. I nodded off for a few more minutes.

Driving

Jamie is driving in a city. People are in her car saying things like, " he doesn't deserve you! How could he? Remember to date up."

Hm. I don't know why we're dreaming this. I'll pray about it. The dreams don't reflect my will. I'll ask raven to help, but she's dealing with her mother being possibly close to not getting better.

Dream:
At a fancy mountain retreat with a friend. He is going to have a meals cooked for him, and I try and find my own food. Scene cuts to a us up on a ski slope. There is only a little snow left, with open patches of yellow grass. A flying drone snowmaker appears and starts coating the slopes with fresh snow. It’s circular, black, and spins. It’s on some sort of leash attached to a man. Another skier (on a wheelchair?) runs into him on accident. They both get up and seem ok.

Night 12

The wingman
- i was in a store with the pillow i was sleeping on in my hands, the store employee said 'you know you will have to pay for that again, right?' (it even implies that he knows i already paid for it) and i was like 'no shot, i didnt even buy it from this store' and left, did a nose plug (+1) and became lucid, saw myslelf further down the street (i didnt look exactly like i do now, but knew anyway), i decided to change my perspective to be standing near 'me' (i'd say this was more something that has happened rather than something i did even tho i noticed the desire for it before it happened), i saw my reflection in a store window and decided to play rock paper scissors with myself (personal goal to win this), i recommended 'myself' to try to do the same thing (+2) because i found it funny, my hands were cold and i had trouble opening my hand for the first scissors, we both went scissors - rock - and scissors four more times, the reflection was perfect till i decided to switch to rock last second and won against scissors (ez)(+15), the other me was no longer there so i decided to go for my usual and asked for wings, felt (+5) them and somehow also used a 3rd person view to see them on my back for a moment (left 3/4 black, right white, both angel wings), started flying (+5) around and stopped to observe a crazy sunrise sky, then flew some more

also im confident i had another one but i forgot all of it

Nigt 13

- Not your daddy
i seem to have forgotten the beggining, first thing i remember is there being 3 of my laptop, i had one and was trying to get into the second one, but i couldnt since my friends changed the password to it, i kept asking them for it, but they ignored me and it was starting to make me mad, there was also the third one which i didnt even know where it was, that made me anxious, i then went into this terrace with a pyramid shaped iron truss above it and (was lucid by this point) i pushed a guy into a pit (+2) because i was so mad, floated (+5) up above the top of the pyramid and told everyone there to follow him (+5), i noticed a girl sitting close by and i walked up to her as everyone was walking into the pit. she said 'thanks for doing this for me dad' whit a smile on her face (im not anything close to anyone's dad), i replied 'but i did this for myself' she replied something and we hugged and it was very emotional, i saw a helicopter getting closer which was there to rescue us, i was thinking that this is an awesome ending and was proud of how long this dream was (except i forgot most of it ), i immedietly wrote down the conversation we had when i woke up and saw a fully realistic image of the scene for a second, thought that my brain must still partially be in dream mode and kept writing, then i woke up for real and didnt journal untill now (evening)

Fragment:
I'm in a big open convention space, with thick carpet and lots of red/gold colors.
It turns out this is a hotel, where there is a mixup with where we were supposed to stay.
I'm on a school trip with the cast of My Hero Academia.

Grocery Store Flight:
I'm in a grocery store that reminds me of one I went to as a kid.
I'm running a sort of tower defense game, where people (mobs/creeps) will attempt to make it past my shelves and reach the goal.
I add some bricks to a back area, forcing a specific path.
I also formulated a strategy where I would add a block completing a blockage, waiting for the group to move, and then remove and rebuild it on the other side creating a loop.
...
I'm seated at a small table with a coworker, face to face.
I'm giving her a status on something quality related.
She happens to mention lucid dreaming as a topic she is interested in.
"Oh yeah! I just had one of those last night!"
I pause, and with all the mental quickness of a drunken sailor, come to the conclusion that since we are talking about lucid dreaming, perhaps I should complete a reality check.
I plug my nose and try to breathe. I can...but I don't draw the conclusion...then I do a second check and it falls again.
"Hold on, am I really dreaming right now?"
I look at my hand as a third check, and sure enough, I have five fingers plus a thumb. This is a dream!
I immediately take off and start flying [1]. As I float into the air I wave to my coworker.
"Have fun working!"
I fly off into the heights of the grocery store, and happen upon a ledge high above the shelves.
I start going through what I need to do for goals, and remember my first goal is to summon (I forgot that I already achieved this in my last lucid).
I decide to try and summon a puppy. So, I wish for a puppy to appear on the upper ledge area when I land and it comes fully into my view.
No puppy. Boo. However, there were vases all around, so I decide to break them for fun.
I lie down on the ledge, and remember that I was trying to teleport before.
New tactic: I'm going to lie down, pretend I'm on grass, and then hope the rest of the scene transforms to match.
It doesn't. Boo. I also find some doors and try to use them to teleport. Nope.

[1] Fly.

Before WBTB

Fragment:
I'm at work, being questioned about a quality process. LC is there, gesturing toward an area of the production floor.
There is a grid of square objects that I'm not familiar with.
We're at the part of the floor where the fitness section used to be.
Feeling is neutral.

After WBTB

Smol Pup:
I'm driving with my girlfriend around our neighborhood. I asked her why we are out here, and she doesn't know.
Later I've walked down to town and wandered into a store.
My arm is resting on a side table, and I notice a small puppy's tail wagging and hitting my hand.
He's a small little guy, and seems happy to see me. I feel a strong emotional bond immediately, but I don't RC.
I start talking to the store clerk, and they are trying to sell the puppy to me.
There is a second puppy, that is bigger, but also cute.
...
I tell my girlfriend about the store and she wants to see the puppy, so we go back.
We go back to the store and there is a back area with a bunch of cages and even more cats and dogs.
There is a security guard there that isn't happy about our trespass, and the fact that we woke up the animals.

You Can't Hurt Me:
I wake up in bed, but I remember that I had just been doing a WBTB, so I do a nose RC.
I can breathe. I'm dreaming! But my body feels really heavy. I remember what I read recently:
The first thing I should do is take stock of the situation to help it stabilize. So, I stay in bed.
"This is a dream. I just became lucid. I'm in a dream bed in my dream house."
After a few moments, I try to get up again. It works. My body is free.
I get up and out of bed. Closing the door behind me, I notice that the hallway is dark.
"Lights up!" - but nothing happens. Oh well.
I turn the corner into where my kitchen should be, but there is a wide open living room-kitchen setup.
It resembles my landlord's setup, with the kitchen on the right and a bigger living area straight ahead.
My girlfriend is on the right in the kitchen, my brother is further back in a living area, and his wife is further back in another den area.
I try to make my girlfriend naked by looking at her and then looking away, but no cigar on that.
I recall that I should start going for points...what was my three-step? Summon! My first step was summon!
I vaguely consider what I should summon, and decide on a weapon. I think about a machine gun, and when I turn to look at a nearby kitchen table, there it is [1].
I pick it up and it reminds me more of a paintball gun than the real thing. Whatever. I don't actually want to hurt anyone here, so I start dotting the ceiling with bullets.
The gun makes a muted sound, and leaves perfect bullet marks like in Goldeneye 64. My brother notices me doing this and asks me what the hell I'm doing.
He pulls out a desert eagle and points it at me.
"Go ahead and start shooting. This is a dream. You can't hurt me."[2]


Come at me, bro.

He starts unloading his weapon into me, and I feel nothing [3]. Rather than shoot him, instead I grab him by the leg and start throwing him around like a ragdoll [4].
He doesn't end up injured, but this does end the altercation

Not going to lie, it felt pretty damn good.

Then I make my way over to a side room where my girlfriend is and do some naughty things with her. This wakes me up.
I'm back in bed, but I remembered I was just dreaming, so I do another nose RC[5,6].
Still dreaming! I'm super excited that I had hit two out of my three tasks (I've never completed the three-task before!) but I forgot the middle one is "ask for advice" not "interact with a DC".
Regardless of that, I decide that I want to try for #3: a teleport.
I get up easily from bed this time, no body calibration needed. Though in retrospect maybe some stabilization would have been good.
I open the bedroom door and enter the hallway. I decide that I will imagine Silverlight Forest on the other side of the wall, just out of my view.
Rather than try the slower "turn and wish" method, I change up my style and take off at a sprint around the corner as fast as I can.
I'm thinking "Forest! Forest! Forest!" hoping that I can finally make the teleport work.
I accelerate to super speed [7], and the world starts to morph around me. I'm going so fast, I should have hit the far wall of the house by now, but nothing is impeding my motion.
I get excited as I see a spec of green. Then another. And another. A green plains zone starts to form in front of me. It has World of Warcraft graphics.
There are Fire Elementals dotted all over the field. The visual is now half house and half Warcraft, with digital blocks transitioning between the two.
I'm excited that I'm going to pull off a teleport FINALLY!
But before I can slow down and settle into the scene, I wake up.

[1] Reality Check / Stabilization
[2] Basic Summon
[2] Interact with a DC
[3] Gain Invulnerability
[4] Super Strength
[5] Catch A False Awakening
[6] Reality Check
[7] Super Speed

I have a false awakening and I'm in my room at night, in the dark. I can't fall back asleep and I get up to look out of the window. I see a comet fly by in the distance really fast and disintegrate. For some reason I'm thinking it might be the Halley comet, in my head I think I've read somewhere it would show up this year (this is not true), so I try to pick up my phone to look up when it was supposed to show up.

I look out of the window some more and see some strange object with a few lights flying in the sky in a weird pattern before going out of view and I'm thinking to myself what I should do about it but I brush it off as not being important. Eventually, something clues me in that I might be dreaming and do a reality check, becoming lucid.

Looking out the window again I wonder if I should fly out and explore. I levitate above the floor and prepare to fly out of the window, however shortly after I lose all my senses and everything is dark, I try to hold on to the dream. For some reason I start narrating the dream in my mind, thinking about how I'm descending to the "thoughts layer" and that "they" noticed my presence (I'm not sure what any of that means). I eventually wake up, shortly before my alarm goes off.

LD:
I rented a room in some sort of hotel with a well known IG photographer. It was late afternoon and we’re both hanging out on the bed reading. He is handsome and has not said he’s interested me, but I can I can sense he wants to be intimate. His leg is lightly touching me and I can feel the heat. I leave the room and walk to my bedroom where my partner is at (now somehow back at home) and end up getting into bed with my partner and falling asleep. In my dream, as I’m falling asleep, I think to try WILD and immediately move into sleep paralysis.

I ask the dream if it can be lucid and am able to “roll” off my bed into a false awakening in my bedroom. It’s super vivid and I immediately stabilize by rubbing my hands together. It seems like twilight in my house and I walk out of my room into the hallway. At the other end of the hallway a see a faint apparition by the door. It’s slightly unnerving, but I walk up to it and try and embrace it. It seems to dissipate when I do this. I then ask the dream space if there’s anything I can help out with, but nothing seems to happen. I go to my living room and try and open a portal in the ground using my hands. I get the ground to ripple like a pond, but no portal appears. Instead I spin around quickly and think of an open Irish landscape to test some more dream control in. When I stop spinning, a lush landscape surrounds me, and it is still twilight.

Since this lucid is so much more vivid than the last one, I decide to try deity yoga again. I fill myself up with energy and start to fly into the atmosphere, but I notice the dream start to unravel so I immediately cut off my powers and plummet hundreds of feet to the ground. I slam ungracefully (but unhurt) into the ground next to some kayaks.

At this point a bunch of people walking their various dogs start to enter the scene. I want to practice teleporting via snapping my fingers, and I’m able to teleport short distances with each snap. Seeing the dogs again, I decide to try full transformation again, but this time into a wolf. I feel myself launch onto all fours, and I look down to see wolf paws. I can also feel a very thick fur coat. I snarl menacingly at a dog that’s close and am surprised at how aggressive/real it sounds. I next see if I can run like a dog, but the movement are all jolty so I transform back to a human.

At this point a bunch of DCs are starting to enter the dream and it’s getting crowded. I think maybe now it’s time to start creating a legendary weapon. I start searching for some sort of portal to an underground forge, but have a hard time finding one. A side street opens up to what looks like a neon lit Tokyo alleyway at night, but I don’t go down it (now I kind of regret not taking a look). Instead I enter this gallery space and am trying to find paintings to turn into portals, but at this point the dream gets really messy with a lot of people and I feel my dream control is falling apart.

Dream #1:
I’m with my mom and she hands me an expensive $217 bottle of champagne. It’s for a friends celebration and as I take it to put it on the counter, I grab it by the next and cork. Some how I accidentally pop the cork and spill half the bottle in the sink. I tell my mom it was an accident and the cork literally fell out, but she’s still disappointed. I realize that I may have some champagne in the fridge, but when I look I can only find other open, half full bottles. She says since it’s still light out she’s going to walk across the street to the store while I figure out what to do.

Fragments:
Coworker has a large Japanese orchid greenhouse. He offers to share it with me since he has so much space. We spend sometime cleaning it out, including old railroad ties that were on the ground.

Playing video game with friend. We quickly get to high levels boss encounter that we cannot beat. I tell her we could probably do it if I used more of my special abilities, but I’ve not had time to practice them.

Learning how to canoe properly in water. The instructor was very carefully drawing out a diagram on when to do what stroke. Seemed almost in a tribal setting, like my life was gonna depend on it?

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


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


Bow, Arrows, and Bears (NLD)

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

Fragment:
I'm at my desk at home working on something.
I hear a blood-curdling scream from a woman I can't see.
I'm terrified. My girlfriend shakes me awake. I was making sounds in my sleep again.

Fragment:
I'm in the kitchen of my current home, sitting my a TV. I'm with my brother and we are playing a Nintendo 64 together.

We're performing the 2008 marching band show.
I get called out for not knowing my dots (location on field).
My Mom is on the sidelines, and she is excited that I've found socks that fit.
I go back out to the field and mess it up again.
...
I'm inside the school now. My girlfriend is there with a puppy.

Dream:
I'm playing a game that resembles Super Smash Bros, except it is in 3D instead of a 2D plane.

There are many ways to win the game, racing, knock-out, and others.
I'm playing as a monkey character.
