Dream #1:
I’m traveling with a family similar to the show breaking bad. Scene with drugs on a Twix bar. One of the young men (looks like the younger insane brother from Gen V) takes drugs and I have to protect the rest of the family. He’s trying to throw these spear like objects, and his super strength means they pierce walls and furniture. I trick him into filming something, making him think he’s important. Scene cuts to the young man and another family member wearing those ridiculous blow up dinosaur outfits and acting out dinosaurs mating.

Dream fragments:
Looking at a travel itinerary in Scotland and listening to recommendations. I have a physical piece of paper with it typed out. The advice was to do shopping early and buy any luggage at a specific place listed on the paper.

We’re trying to park on the side of a road. It’s dark and the road is winding along a steep hillside. I’m worried that erosion under the road will make it collapse while we’re parked there.

Day 10

(dreams from this day are shortened since i wrote them down to my paper diary and i dont want to retype them)

To the Pantheon
- i was lucid in a pool with a friend, we talked (+2), then i climbed a (climbing) wall above the pool by sticking my hands into it, then a girl came into the room and started singing, i got out, took a cheese croissant (+5) from a shelf and stood on a table listening to her song, it was called To the Pantheon (doesnt exist) with lyrics about the Charybdis and it ended by one of the judges from our tv show 'Star Dance' becaming a king. i phased trough a door (+10) and the other room wasnt loaded, i saw it form from simple lines, geometric shapes and renders of objects and went back for the rest of the song

Last dorm night (my last night in my dorm irl)
- i was sitting on my bed talking to my roommates, then i asked one of them why he was there because he has already moved out, i began to be unsure and did a nose plug to become lucid (+1), almost instinctively went under his bed for a pizza (+5) which was kinda cold (+5), then went into a building that usually isnt there and phased trough a door i couldnt open (+10) went back and tried to teleport by having a castle on the other side of it, reopened it like 5 times but it was still the same dance studio, then Vendy walked in my direction with a dog, but randomly tuned around and started running away, i ran behind her and we got into this big room and suddenly huge ammounts of rats began flooding in, my friend snitched on me to her friends, she said she saw me phase trough a wall and that i summoned all hose rats and i was like 'wtf, i didnt do this' (+2), i climbed on a counter and had to shoot down rats with plates because they were forming rat ladders and climbing up

Train
- i was sitting on the toilet watching a youtube video of a hobo doing really bad magic tricks with an egg, then it was about train malfunctions and i was suddenly standing near train tracks, i became lucid and caught a single pasanger train (+5), figured i could take it to the castle i wanted to go to and started speeding it way up (+5) and my alarm rang


Day 11

Enchented bow
- i was in a hallway in my building with Zak and more old classmates, we were throwing cards and then neighbors came out, they were going to the same show we were waiting for and they dissed us for being engineers, we started leaving, i slid all the railings and then i saw this girl in a wheelchair and i started talking to her, turns out she was waiting for the neighbor and he forgot her there, we called him back i think, we went outside and i remember a sandstone tower standing there which i was adamant about climbing, but everyone was against it, it had something to do with the event, i recall talking to my friend about how i dont uderstand why noone else wanted to use our bows for a show at the event, then i became lucid and said (+2) it doesnt matter and showed him a shot out of an imaginary bow (+7.5) and hit a wall, it was a normal arrow (+10) from our perspective, but turned into 2 huge logs when we walked closer, i then wanted to shoot near a friend on the other side of the street, but it hit her and left only a circle of blood and pink person sized butterfly wings on the wall behind her, i didnt know what to do so i let everyone get ahead of me and i showered them with arrows from above to get rid of witnesses (acuall big piles of arrows and for some reason pencils), everyone just dissapeared when it touched them, i then went to my other friend who was standing there and asked what he would eat if he could have anything in the world to give it to him, he referenced a nonexisting story and didnt pick a food in the end, so i picked up an avocado off a street vendor's shelf and ate the first half (+5), i was back to thinking of getting points, so i floated the other half above my hand (+5) and tried to make it golden (missremembered my personal goal of making something colorless), i managed turqoise and then red (+7.5) which was good enough for me, i then wanted to try stopping time for the first time, i threw the avocado in the air and cast 'time stop' on it, it froze in the air (7.5) but a second one identical to it kept falling from the same spot and bounced around till it hit this lady which i apologised to and someone else who got up woke me up

I put on my headphones and went back to sleep

Pointless greed
- i was near my front door and instantly wanted to teleport, decided to try spinning since i failed to do it with doors last night (1st time teleporting, i usualy 'find' my location), i was aiming for a castle to meet a king, i got into a stone hallway (+10) and had an interface with my net worth and a gold nuggent in front of me, for some reason getting that money up became my priority so i spent the rest of my time duplicating the nugget (+10)

Summer Competition 2024 - Night 11

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

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

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


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

Luna Rose

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

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

* 2024-07-16 00:00 Tues comp night #11
* BT 22:00
* Waking 03:00 (5 hrs)
* (f) Flight to England There is an announcement or a board stating that at 03:15 everyone needs to synchronize their watches
* Wake up in a hotel room, I'm (mostly) naked in bed, there are other people (unrelated) in the room, I feel uncomfortable about this and pull the covers up around me. Something happens and I plop to the floor on my butt, not too hard, they ask me "are you ok?" I say "yeah, it wasn't hard." I notice a bed next to mine, small? Very rough and uncomfortable looking. There is a sweeping view from this room, it seems like a familiar view but as seen from a different perspective, perhaps lower elevation. I'm thinking about the owners of this hotel, I think they change and spray the beds every day (or at least in between guest stays). The woman who was there in the room (unrelated) has spread out all their clothes on their bed, about a double/queen size, and is spraying the clothing with a hose. I wonder if she put a waterproof sheet underneath them. I'm fascinated by this process and watch it for quite a while as she goes back and forth over the clothing with the hose/sprayer.
* The unrelated couple say that the "sail" is ready, it's in a corner of the room by where I got up. The view shifts to a large outdoor space, and they're saying that this sail (really like an umbrella) is used for positioning at the opening to a volcano, so that you can see the reflection of the lava on it. I think it would probably be very dangerous to get close to an lava opening, the ground may crumble and collapse under you.
* English pub. A group of us enter a building through a doorway, and go inside. There is a long line inside. We take our place in line. The front counter has a large screen/display of the menu items displayed on it. One of the menu items is steak and bread. I scoot up to the front to see and another menu items seems to be "chopped pasta." I decide that I'll order the steak. There's a man in the line who is talking with two of (my group?) about how he distracted them and pickpocketed them both. He is handing back a roll of cash to both of them. I reach the front of the line and order the steak, but the guy at the counter says they're out of it. I'm disappointed. I'm trying to decide what else I should order. I remember that there was something like a "hash pie" that had a long complicated name. I'm looking at the order board, but I don't see any of the previous dishes that I had seen before, I only see a bunch of differently decorated plates of olives, decorated with various olives.
* Sitting at a table, I observe a woman a few tables away from me, she's young, attractive, she's eating something (apparently steak) and she's talking about how she always eats steak, but that it's been a month?
* My old friend DannyD is across from me and he asks me "how're you doing?"
* I say "Well at least (maybe referring to our troubles in the restaurant), here we are in England! And that's a great way to do it: say up all night the night before, and then sleep through the entire flight!"
* Long BTS. Takes a long time with count, relaxing, etc. Eventually fall back asleep. WBTB. Sat up in bed for a while on edge, cooled off, lay back down, about 10 minutes
* (f) I'm walking outside, I encounter a young woman I think I know, she's carrying a bottle of wine, (rose´?), the wine's name starts with "G"?
* In the room/house: there is a young woman there. We're intimate? She comes to me, and we embrace, and I study her face closely, I see that she has been crying. I think I know why [forgot].
* The room is small and made up of glass walls [DS], it is fully exposed to the outside. The curtains are (colorful?) and narrow on curtain rods, and I'm going around the perimeter of the room trying to close them so that we won't be seen from outside [DS]
* I'm on my hands and knees by a couch in the room, looking behind it, I see a group of three girls, young-sh, maybe tweens early teens, one maybe has a scarred face, they're just sitting there quietly behind the sofa. I look to the wall/ and there is a handle, it seems to be a small sliding glass door that the girls use (I think this is not the first time) to enter the room and sit there. I notice outside that people are walking by, including a very big burly man walking quickly from right to left.
* A man asks me into another room, and his son is there, and he's asking me for an autograph, his son knows me from somewhere. I ask "do you want me to sign fast [illegible] or slow [legible]?" I'm looking at the board/paper they want me to sign and imagine writing my name on it
* Pool/house party, outdoors, suburbia area, twilight lighting [DS], I enter a swimming pool [DS] area and there are a lot of young people playing around there. There are one or two girls with their boobs exposed and this excites me and I go over for a closer look. The group of them turn away and move away from me as I approach.
* Back outside the pool house there is another door. There is a porch, and a woman is sitting inside the porch. I have a pulled-back view of the whole house including the porch.

LD:
My partner and I are outside somewhere at a wooden banister/railing. There is a 70s style purse/fanny pack that a woman left on the banister. An imposing man in pink tank-top walks up to grab the purse, but I get to it first and hide it in my hoody. I know the man wants it for himself, and I’m keeping it safe for the woman. To distract him from the purse, I have him become interested in me instead. At this point I realize I’m dreaming and the scene shifts to my bedroom with the man. I extricate myself from the situation in order to explore lucidity in other ways. I snap my fingers for a new setting, and I’m transported into a Minecraft-like world. I first try mass telekinesis and lift a bunch of large car sized blocks off the ground and throw them in front of me. Next, I try and practice deity yoga and attempt at becoming a god. I imagine myself floating and filling with cosmic energy, but quickly deflate and fall back to the ground. I then ask the dream space if I can become a god. In a matter of moments I feel myself shine brightly with cosmic energy and I fly up through the atmosphere and into space. On the way up I try telekinesis again and am able to lift mountains. Once I’m in space I cannot see Earth or other planets so I try and summon them into being. After a moment, planets and cosmos whirl by. My lucidity starts to fade and I find myself shifted back into my bedroom and into a false awakening, which I catch with my hand reality check. Interestingly, the poking hand method fails and seems to be real, but I catch that I still have 6 fingers. The dream is dim now, so I try and spin and lick my hand to stabilize but the dream quickly fades

NDL and fragment:
I’m a young woman on a road trip to Scotland. Along the way I stop at a glass blower stall who only sells local/always sold out online (website is mostly red). There is a small chest full of simple glass rings of many colors and also earrings I think. The main purpose of going to Scotland was for some sort of fashion project. There’s almost a slideshow of dress designs/final outfits, switching between green and purple. The purple outfit was the final one. It was a pleated long dress with tight bodice. There was some sort of purple face covering, like 3 thick bands of ribbon. An array of curly beard, “tentacles” hang from the chin. A hat with furry rim and flat top. There is a song playing in the background, Last Days by Yasushi Yoshida

My partner and I are packing to leave someplace. I also needed to shower but couldn’t find one in place we were staying in.

Had a few fragments I can't recall.

Dream 1

Dream of some guy I know... He was getting raped violently. In the house was a bunch of people and demons fighting.

Fake Jamie

In the black space I see someone in the shadows. Jamie's hair, but the face is completely a shadow. She says, " I'm breaking up with you." Since I can't see the face and had dreams like this before I'm not taking it seriously.

Healing

Since I dreamed Jamie asking raven for help. I messaged Raven and told her about it. She agreed to help.

Dream was just a flash of walking along some fancy walk ways with a bunch of pools of water. I was with a group of people but can't remember who.

Raven confirmed that the place described in the dream is a place she goes for healing, and that me Raven and Jamie were there.

Raven didn't give much details. She's dealing with her own stress so I didn't push her for more details.

If Jamie reads these I apologize again for the scare a few entries ago. Her voice still insists she was warned about... Something.

Charlotte

Dream I went to visit my cousin's daughter. I used to live with them, she'd be almost 4 now. Charlotte seemed angry at me for having to move away. I know she doesn't understand that I was forced to move at the time. So I just apologize the best I can and give her a hug.

A quick flash of Jamie this morning but can't remember what.


Ooh!! there are a couple Jamie dreams I forgot to write down a week ago. Had these the same night where I dreamed she told me that she wanted to make me her boyfriend

Text

I'm walking down a street with Jamie. White text flashes that says, " I had a lucid dream with you in it."

Fallout

I binge watched the Fallout series on prime irl. Dreamed that I was with Jamie in the fallout universe. She had a crazy costume like you'd see in the mad Max movies. Her hair was like Pippi longstoxking, two braids sticking to the sides of her head. She was dirty like she had been roaming a desert. Had a crazy shield and a barbed wire bat like the one Began carries around

Back to my apartment tonight, so I can post the rest of the dreams from the competition that I had saved on my other laptop:

July 6th, 2024 (Comp Night 1)

Dream 1:

Some people are at a prom (I can tell it’s a prom because there is a sign that says something like “This is our Prom”). There is something going on with a guy and a girl. I think this might have started out related to the Happy Days TV show at first. Anyway, a guy is sitting at a table, and someone is saying something like “you won’t like it”. Then a show starts on a stage up front, which appears to be some inappropriate burlesque thing. This involves the girl that he likes, and he gets angry. I think people have to hold him back from storming the stage

Dream 2:

There is something going on in which people are learning to dive in what looks like a swimming pool. This involves them getting over their fear of going into the water fully clothed, apparently. Someone is encouraging people to do this, and then I do it as well. I kind of show off, being used to doing this, and I jump into the water. As I go down into the water, I find that there is actually just a layer of water and air underneath it. Possibly for the trainees – they aren’t ready for the full water experience or something. There are rooms nearby that are full of water, and I explore these also. A couple of other people go with me, I think. The rooms are connected to other pools as well, so that you can go into an adjoining room and resurface in a neighboring pool.

Fragment 1:

I sit down and look at some animals in a zoo. [Possibly the same dream]: walking along a road through the woods. There are bears in the woods. I don’t want to attract their attention.

Fragment 2:

In a store with my Mom. There is some underwear on clothing racks.

July 7th, 2024 (Night 2)

Playing Lurkers. When I start playing, the blue team is attacking the red team. There are lots of them. I’m part of the red team, and I try to lead a charge against blue. It seems to be somewhat successful. There is a graphic at the bottom of the screen showing the progress of the teams. Red makes a little progress, it seems.
Replaying Portal 2. There are a few cutscenes of GLADOS. I remember that this was the one with the Cave Johnson stuff.

July 8th, 2024 (Night 3)

Dream 1

Sherlock Holmes is on a case. There is lots of blood involved, and a dog, I think. Holmes goes into a building, and I think the dog follows him. The dog walks into a room with a lot of blood, and starts howling. From the outside, we aren’t sure why he’s howling, and are a bit concerned that something happened to Holmes. But the detective is OK, and comes back out. He is trying to conceal how bloody he is under a blanket. There are a couple of us, and we bundle together under the blanket hoping that people who see us will think that we are a romantic couple on our way home.

Fragment 1

Going to Church. In the parking lot, I’m trying to find somewhere to park. The lot is mostly full, but I find what seems to be a half of a parking place. My Jeep fits into this, although someone questions whether or not I should park there. (Possibly the same dream: I’m pulling into a parking place. There is someone trying to tow another vehicle, and I wonder if they needed the place I just pulled into).

Dream 2

It's the last day of school. I’m walking down a hallway, and cut through the back of some classrooms. The students are having a pizza party. They also have lots of boxes of eggs. These turn out to be hard boiled eggs, and the pizza turns into fried chicken eventually. So they are having chicken and eggs as a celebration meal. I try one of the eggs myself. It is very large, and yellowish in color. I make a joke to someone. Referring to the eggs and the chicken, I ask which came first.

Dream 3

I’m working in a store. My job involves standing at a checkout counter, but not actually checking anyone out. A man comes along, and puts a bunch of stuff on the counter. I think he wants me to check him out, but I explain that he needs someone else for that. I think he might also try to do something he isn’t supposed to do – it involves fruit snacks that are packaged in folders like books. I point him to a cashier, but then the cashier explains that this man is a thief and has tried to steal from them before. The fact that he has shown up again means that we now have to check the food on the shelves, because he might have done something to it. There is some concern about my brother, because if he ate any of the food it might affect his asthma somehow. I wonder why this would be. Eventually, I go to the boss and ask, very respectfully, what the relationship is between the thief and asthma.

Dream 4

I’m walking out of Church with a couple of elderly men. One of them has a cane, I think. We are talking about my grandfather, and how he is doing. In the dream, he is not doing so well physically, but his mind is still sharp. I mention this, and say something about how a good day for him is when his mind is clear. We come to some stairs and I wonder about the man with the cane. He seems to think he can do the stairs OK, and we go down. In the parking lot, the man falls down. By the time I get to him, he is back on his feet, and he starts jogging across the parking lot.

Fragment 2

Working in the lab.

7.11.2024 (Night 6)

Dream 1

A lady is assisting with a magic trick. It involves a painting. Presumably the painting is supposed to change in appearance, or something. She is holding it in such a way as to be unable to see it herself. The picture changes, I think, and when she looks at it she is surprised. In fact, she had been sure that it would not change, and is so embarrassed and/or shocked that she falls over and starts crying…

…There is a disease that some people have. The disease is fatal, but there are some fungal spores that help. I recall seeing some, and go to find them…

… There is something in which we are able to communicate with someone through a drinking glass. Then some cookies are dropped into the glass …

…There is some event going on outdoors. I get in my car to go somewhere. I see a lady coming behind me, and think that she might want a ride. I don’t want to give her a ride, so I try to leave before she can ask me. I also notice that a lot of the women around are scantily clad. As I drive away, I decide to pick up something and take it back to the event. It turns out that what I am picking up is bundles of money. They are bundled together like roofing shingles. I bring them back, but then drop them on some stairs on my way.

Meanwhile, someone asks me about the “blacker beach”. By this they mean a traditionally “black” beach (as in an African-American beach harkening back to segregation), only “black-er”. I don’t think I know exactly what they are talking about, and I start to mention this to someone standing with me. I notice that the man I am talking to is a minority, and I think I try to avoid bringing up the racial component…

Fragment 1

…There is a town where they are planning some big Gay pride thing. I’m considering going to protest…

Fragment 2

…In Church. They are singing a song. My brother is on stage, for some reason, and I don’t like that. I try to sing along. The song ends, and it is nearing the end of the service. I make some loud comment about my brother being on stage, which I then feel embarrassed about. The service soon ends though.

Fragment 3

Painting a rock on campus a gold color.

7.12.2024 (Night 7)

Fragment 1

Something about the Lone Ranger. I seem to be pretending to be tracking them, and say to whoever I’m with that I see the tracks of “two men – one white man and another white man pretending to be an Indian”. Then there is something about some poles, or something.

Dream 1

Playing lurkers.io. I get killed and respawn with a crossbow and a new thing – which turns out to be a motorcycle. At some point I either fall, or perhaps there is an explosion and I am launched into the air. I manage to make my character land on a block, and try to get back to more solid ground. I jump from block to block, until I find myself trapped with a bunch of blocks. I start digging away at these, but accidentally dislodge a bunch of them and the section that I’m standing on gives way.

7.13.2024 (Night 8)

Dream 1

Walking around Wellington. There is a little kid who starts telling me about a weird man who lives in a certain house. He can see through the window. It’s a bit vague what it is that he sees, but it seems to be kind of sinister somehow. Neighborhood kids go in there and disappear, or something. It’s almost as though this weird guy has some power over this kid. He fears that he will go into the house, either against his will or under something like hypnosis. There is also something about people starving. I think that my Church could help, but I don’t have any information for him to contact. So, I go to find some information, possibly going to the Church.

By the time I get to wherever there is contact information, the story has shifted away from the starving people and more toward the idea that the weird man is dangerous. We need to warn people about him. So, I write up a notice to give to the kid and to make copies of to post around town. But I only have one notice, so I need to find a copy machine. I start out toward a city building (the courthouse?), but on the way realize that I could go to the library and make copies too. I go into the library, and there is a scene or two in which I worry that I might be followed. I make a dash for an elevator, and make it inside before the doors close.

Fragment 1

My Aunt is going down some steps. She is going rather quickly, and in a weird way. Towards the bottom, she falls…

Fragment 2

…We are going to have a meeting, to talk about Thanksgiving. This might be at Church, at the University, or some combination of both. There is something about meeting the family in the front of the Church holding banners that say something. I have what seems to be a small t-shirt that I am holding…

Fragment 3

…Going into some catacombs. This is part of a video game. I’m talking with someone, or someone else is talking with someone, about making dirty videos. But they are talking about it in a kind of sentimental way. They hope to raise some friends here in the catacombs (as in, raising the dead). Then they start fighting with a woman.

Fragment 4

My Dad and I are walking around a town at night. There is a street that you can walk down that I like, with a bunch of lights and some arcade-style games. We start going down there, although I tell Dad that there might not be much open at this time of night. It turns out that there are some games that you can play. My Dad asks me if I want to play one of them – a ski ball kind of game. I decide to play.

Something about a person who fell in love with the sick person with whom they were communicating. This is likened to Florence Nightengale. [Interesting thing - The next day, I went to the store and saw some guy with a t-shirt that said "Florence Nightengale Vibes".]


7.15.24

Dream 1

There is some restoration work going on. Some nice wood is laying off to the side, looking as though they are going to get rid of it. I ask about it (possibly because my Dad wants it if they are going to trash it), but they are going to keep the nice wood paneling. My friend and former coworker, N_ shows up at some point. I find myself still attracted to her, even though she seems to be bald now. Also, she is married. But her husband seems to ignore her. I’m tempted to flirt with her, but she is married even if her husband is neglectful.

Then someone approaches in a vehicle. Maybe it’s her husband? Anyway, there is a scene reminiscent of something from Mad Max, with cars and such, and then something that reminds me of a scene from an old John Wayne movie in which there is a shootout. Then there seems to be an outright slaughter.

At some point, I find a room that I remember working on in the past when I did restoration work. There is a squirrel and/or a cat in this room. At first, I think, there is the squirrel. It seems to be injured, or sick. It, and/or the cat, has some large lesion on its back. Then the cat chases the squirrel, I think. Something happens to the lesion on the animal, so that there is a large hole in the back now. There was also something about a damaged baby doll – kind of creepy looking, with something that happened to its face.

At another point (possibly the same dream) people are being interrogated about something. This seems to involve torture.

Horsing Around:
I'm controlling a horse, watching it run across a stereotypically dreamy plain.
The sky is an indigo-blue color, and the grass is a highly saturated green.
I feel some sort of emotional connection with the horse.
I'm playing a game of hide and seek with other horses.
The controls are similar to controlling Epona in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
I'm navigating through a section with fences, and then later up a hill.


Alllllwayyyyyyys I want to beeee with you....and make belieeeeve with you...

Running:
I'm at a bar with a big group. Z from the game night group is there.
We're sitting at an outdoor both. Z seems to be the star of the night.
There are a couple of dark-skinned guys talking with my brother.
They are talking about me.
...
Later, I'm running away using super speed along some train tracks.
There is a bus that the group is trying to get me to go on.

Flash:
There is a documentary about my nephew, W.
My childhood cat Oreo is also part of it. The various parts of the video show my Grandma's previous homes.
Something about World of Warcraft makes it into the story.
Flash forward, and W is watching the video in present day.

I've a dream that reoccurs sometimes. In the dream I rent a studio room in a neighborhood by the piers in town here, it's kind of rundown and I don't know why I find solace just to go there and sleep... in real life around that area artists rent studios to paint. Another part of this dream, sometimes I dream it separately, is going to a grassy hill again near the waterfront where again I just go to sleep even though I've an apartment. The sky is amber, no one is around and there's a small area of grass bent down where I lay. I've dreams that are more interesting but maybe in these two dreams in which I'm sleeping near the sea within a dream I find some peace of mind. Like escaping as far away from the world as I can that's close enough to where I live to go often. I acknowledged to myself today that these are reoccurring.

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

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

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

Flying in the void (WILD)
Transitioning into the dream state felt extremely satisfying this time around, usually there's resistance or other strange sensations but this felt right.
I was in the void flying around to different points. I saw a grid of blue dots appear in front of me, I flew closer to one of them to examen it. The closer I got the further away the other dots became, but the size of the dot I was moving towards remained the same size as it was when I was further away. I fly away from them and move towards some pink lights trying to imagine them being something, "I get a bit bored. In order to get any tasks done I have to be somewhere." I think.
"To my room!" Instantly I feel my body in my bed and I'm in my dimly lit room, "I'm still dreaming" I think as I stand up and take several steps, I begin to feel a repelling force that sends me straight back to the void with the colors again and wake up shortly after.

Swimming in the void (WILD)
As typical from doing WILD for me, I entered the void in this dream.
As I enter the dream I think to myself, "Why fly?" From head to toe I start doing a sort of wave motion like a fish swimming. I zoom out to look at myself and through the darkness of the void I can make myself out as an even darker shadow, I look just like a free diver.
I bring it back in and look around, I see colors and lights in the distance and swim towards them. The closer I get to the light the louder and more clearly I hear a woman singing in a language I don't recognize. "It's probably gibberish." I think to myself as I'm trying to understand her. The last thing I remember her saying was "China man." All of the lights and colors in the void start becoming more intense and begin transforming.
Now I'm in a pitch-black room with a huge high window and two large metal supports crossing it in the center. Outside the window I can see snowflakes and a soft blue light entering the room that illuminates about 50 penguin toys that are hanging from strings on the ceiling.



I fly upwards to get a better look outside , I see that one of the support bars is impaling a speed limit sign at the base that reads "SPEED LIMIT 24". Everything goes black for a second before lighting back up again.
Now I'm outside of the room on a balcony and there's a thick layer of snow everywhere. I think of doing my first of three tasks, banishing something, and look off the edge. There're a few dumpsters on the ground outside and I say "Disappear!" while closing my fist and looking at one of them.
It doesn't go away instantly, instead I have to look to the left then back at it for it to work. I start thinking of what else I can do, and I turn around to try and find a pencil to draw a stick man with. The dream begins fading away as I'm walking, I start clapping my hands and I can even feel the slight sting from it. It brings the dream back and I continue walking and spinning around to try and keep it going for longer. Once I enter a hallway the dream disappears for good, and I wake up.

* 2024-07-15 00:00 Sun comp night #10
* (f) I'm on a tall steep hillside looking down the slope, (there is a coast line below?) there are people below and there is also a bear or other monster, and I need to get down so I jump over the railing and land down below.
* Special bike, racing down hill, back up take DannyD down to show it, we look at it, he recalls how (his mom?) taught him to do tricks on it by pushing on the space between the handle bars, then some guy shows up with a bag (of food?), he's been doing deliveries down the steep hill which has been closed for some show, we three get together and talk about something
* I return back up to the top, and show my pass to the guard station, I see and greet MarkD and his daughter N, give Mark a hug, N shies away. I go up in an elevator with one of the guards, a friend of mine hides through a door on the roof of the elevator. MarkD is in fact in charge of the security/guard station, I'm arguing that my documentation is perfectly acceptable, there are 3 guards at computers and they're closely inspecting my papers.
* DO Overhead of special golf course, a panoramic, panning view of beautiful mountain scenes and valley, with lush green golf courses nestled in between the groups of trees and hills, I think (narrator?) there are very special greens with a special material, and also the place where you tee off, (that prevents divots from being kicked up when you tee off?), I'm a newbie at golf, I wonder if I'll just embarrass myself or if I'll ruin the turf with my bad technique.
* (f) guy on stage and someone ways something about poisoned strawberries
* Traffic argument I'm standing on a raised area above a street looking down at the street, someone comes to park his car and a guy explains this is illegal, and points to signs showing this. I look at those signs, and I see the parking manager rotate the signs to make them visible, and I talk about those signs and how they are ambiguous because you can't tell which way they're pointing to, which traffic direction they're preventing parking on.
* Read a newspaper about a woman who was in an accident, how she ended up dying after the accident, then I relive the memory of how the car accident happened and see her lying bloody in the wreck
* I'm in a video game, enter through a low opening into a large room/arena where there is a huge choice of games, the games are displayed on huge billboards or screens all around the room, there is a particular game that is popular but very hard, the game names are displayed in very large type on the screens [forgotten], a female store clerk comes up to me and offers me version 5 of some game as a private, free download, she's doing this because I previously left her a bad review and she wants me to instead leave a review praising/thanking her, it'll make her record look a lot better
* Come around a corner in an outdoor area (dark [DS]), and some kids are there beating up another kid, really throwing strong punches. Then the kids all come out, and my kids are there, too, and the kid who were fighting are now handing a bag containing some stuffed toys to my kids, I think these may have been some of their (my kids) favorites, they select some?

Dream fragments (4):
5 of my ‘senses’ are personified in a way and all meditating. Waiting on the last sense to meditate. Then everything will be in harmony. Something about flying a dragon

An old manager from work is being tracked down by other producer, but he’s being standoffish. I say not to blame him, he’s had a difficult life, personally and at work.

I’m escaping attack, being driven in a car, through a city.

Getting stuck in futuristic pod. The insides are made of one LED screen, and it’s very uncomfortable. Not sure what kind of travel, but get the feeling of Space travel? Get out and it seems like a lot of people had traveled in these pods

My dream journal is a bit mixed up because I started a new one on a new laptop, but have also been making entries on my old one on an older laptop. Now I'm out of town and only have my older laptop, so here are some of the entries so far:

July 9th, 2024 (Comp night 4)

Fragment 1

At a library. There is a book sale going on. I don’t think there is much time left before the book sale ends (or maybe I have to leave soon) and I go to look at the shelves rather quickly. I see a nicely bound set of Edgar Allen Poe stories.

Fragment 2

There is some sort of computer game in which you do something with alarm clocks. The alarm clocks are also traps of some kind.

Fragment 3

Something about candy.

Dream 1

There is a place where it is illegal to sell grain to women. But there are people who work on threshing grain in secret, in sort of deep cylindrical tanks where it can’t be seen what they are doing. Women come here and are secretly given grain. This turns somehow into colored rocks that are all put into a box together (not exactly sure I remember how it transitioned into this). Then there is something where people have been baptized, but in some cases nails are sticking out of boards on the side of the house (not sure how that relates). I go around trying to pound the nails into place. I think at first I see a couple sticking out of a stove top, but on second glance I don’t see them. Meanwhile, someone I am with has strep throat. I realize that I should probably cover my face to avoid catching it. There might be a lady there too, and there is something in my mind about how this is like Muslim women in some places covering their faces.

Now I’m moving through a jungle. We might be chased at this point. There is a kid with us, and as we come to a corner of some dense vegetation a snake appears and looks threatening. The get gets really aggressive, as though they are trying to fight the snake in panic. This seems like a bad idea to me, but somehow the kid avoids getting bitten by the snake.

Meanwhile, Indiana Jones has become involved. Possibly, during the snake scene, someone is using his whip to fight the snake. There is a man with us, maybe a guide or something, who has a ring. Looking closely at the ring you can see what looks like an image with a shield or something that is connected to the lost continent of Atlantis. This man is also a donkey, somehow.

Fragment 4

At my old job. I have made a box for something, and one or two other things that I think turned out nicely. I hope this will impress the boss.

Fragment 5

Something about my belt.

July 10th, 2024 (Comp Night 5)

Fragment 1

I am at the edge of a lake with another person. This person is telling me his theory that we might actually be in a dream. I’m a bit skeptical of this theory, but I am also wondering what difference it would make if this were a dream. He says something about having “free will”. But I argue that we have free will already, and we can do whatever we want even if this is a dream.

Fragment 2

Walking down the street where I used to live. I get to the corner, where my friend’s house was. There is a library here. I have been drinking something, and want to throw away my bottle or cup at the library. I find a trash can, but then I see that there is also a recycling bin. I take the bottle/cup out of the trash and put it in the recycling bin. Meanwhile, I glance inside the library to see the old familiar sites. They seem to have put in a big fancy fireplace and/or stage that wasn’t there before.

Fragment 3

Walking with my grandfather and I think one or two other people. There is a man and a woman together. They get into an argument, I think, and the man starts chasing after the woman as though he is going to hurt her. I try to intervene, but my grandfather (who is deceased in waking life but is in his 90s in this dream) is quicker. He runs after the couple in defense of the woman.

Dream 1

Playing a game. Possibly the lurkers.io game I play a lot and dream about. There is a video feed with some other players. They are sitting at their keyboards as though they are driving vehicles. I’m looking at them through what looks like the back cab window of a pickup truck. They look through at me, and one of them might even partially crawl through the window. He looks around my room, and asks about a certificate I have from the “Smith Family of Builders”. I explain that that is where I used to work.

Fragment 4

There is a package, with a time bomb in it. You can hear it ticking if you listen closely. Someone runs to get help, but in the meantime we try to get the package wet (somehow that would help). We fill a sink and toss the package in there, in the nick of time I guess.

July 14th, 2024 (Comp Night 9)

Dream 1

At my grandparents' old house. I go to use the bathroom. I have a couple of options here. I could use a nice bathroom near the bedroom, or I could use a porta-potty kind of thing that is located underneath the bed in the bedroom. I get the idea that I should use the porta-potty, possibly because I feel like I’m not supposed to flush if I use the toilet in the bathroom. The porta-potty is located beneath the mattress, which I pull back from the bed. I’m a bit indecisive about this though, and I might end up going into the bathroom instead. I try to lock the door here, because my grandmother seems to be coming along and I’m afraid that she might accidentally come into the bathroom. This, in fact, happens. She has a tape recorder, or might be looking for a tape recorder. Rummaging through some drawers.

Fragment 1

I’m looking at someone’s dating profile. It shows a woman of Asian descent, wearing a dress, I think. She is dancing in what looks like a rain storm inside of a store. She might be singing the song “Singing in the Rain”. A wider view shows that the store, which sells shoes and other things, has showers mounted on a wall, and these are turned on.

Fragment 2

Talking to a friend on the phone. Or trying to. Somehow I think Abe is on the phone too. There is something odd going on with the phone.

Before WBTB

Decay:
I'm at my childhood home with Robert F. Kennedy on the phone. I'm supposed to pick him up at the airport.
I'm telling him about several other stressors that are happening at the moment, getting to why I will be delayed.
I'm also supposed to pick up my friend D from somewhere.
On the kitchen table, there is a game of Monopoly left out. I arrange the pieces in a funny way anticipating the payoff later when everyone arrives.
Looking around the home - it is in disrepair. Dusty and broken.
But Oreo, my childhood cat is there. I marvel that she is still alive somehow.
She looks like she hasn't eaten in a long time, with her fur all patchy.
My Grandma and some others in the group tell me I can't help her and I have to leave.
I don't want to leave her alone so I pick her up and bring her home with us.
...
Later we are in the driveway, and there are 3 or 4 cars all in it.
This makes it difficult to leave.


How could I say no to this?

After WBTB

Mannikin:
I'm at my Grandma's current condo. It is late at night and I'm on a couch that is further down the den than it should be.
There is a clothing mannikin out near the hallway. It is slowly swaying. I notice that it has a wig similar to my Grandma's on.
I worry about the mannikin turning to face me, and then it does.
It has two black voids for eye holes, and I understand immediately that my Grandma's soul is trapped in this mannikin.
The mannikin falls down and breaks into pieces.
I scream, and my girlfriend wakes me up. I hear myself making a weird scream-moan sound.


Well, this image exists now.

Fragment:
I'm with my Grandma and Uncle at a hotel. They are on one bed together and I am on the other.
I'm talking about how my girlfriend's family stresses her out all the time.
