Portal (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I focus on MILD. I know I need to make sure to think more clearly in my lucids. This time I thought thinking step by step would work good. first part become lucid, part two become stable. Part three experiment with opening a portal. Part four take it to a baron part of the Mojave desert. Part five create my fortress. I also needed to remember to continually stabilize through out the dream.

I was in my room and became lucid without doing a RC. Everything was very vivid and wasn't completely sure it was a dream. Okay step two stabilize. I felt my pants and noticed I had the same clothes on I had yesterday. I saw my super favorite gray sleeping shorts in the floor. I knew it was silly but I changed into those ones. I very Sudenly destabilized, nearly waking up. The problem is there were no lights on in my room making it hard to stay stable. I can never turn on the lights in my room in lucid dreams. I could only see a fuzzy squint and couldn't open my eyes. I thrashed around my room touching things trying to become stable. I refused to give up this dream. I did a noes RC and it helped a little bit. I had so far only stabilized the touch sense. I knew I needed the taste sense so I went up to the thing closest to me and forced myself to lick it. It was white and I think it was my closet door. It didn't taste good but luckily didn't have a lot of taste to it. I slowly became more vivid. I could open my eyes and things weren't fuzzy.

I went into the kitchen and my sister was doing homework with two of her friends. It was day time outside even though there had been no light coming through the window in my room. I got some 5 gum and chewed on it. I don't care for mint flavored gum but 5 gum is alright and I just need it to keep stable.

Okay step three. I started out with trying some electrokinesis as a warm up. I focused on shooting some at a coffee pot on the counter. I didn't think I anything happened but my mom said I did. I guess I didn't see it at this angle. Next I made one bolt come out of each finger. I made them meet in the middle and now focused on forming my energy into a ball. I got a small ball of what looked like a cross between blue fire and electricity. I once I got that I brought my other hand in and made it bigger and bigger. Once I got it into a stable shape about the size of a golf ball I let it bounce around on my hand. I went back and kept making it bigger and denser. I got it to about a meter across. Thats bigger than what I needed so I forced it smaller again and raised my hand above my head. I traced a rectangle about the size of my body and then it formed a portal. Cool now what.

I didn't really know how to connect it to the place I needed to go. "Connect to uh the Mojave desert in a place where its Baron and theres no people." I said. I wanted to make sure it took me to the right place so I took my shoes and socks off and put it through the portal. I felt the ground and it felt like dry dirt. YES its the right place! I got over excited and went through but I wasn't in the Mohavee desert. I was on some college campus in a spot where there is dirt. D: I should have simply made another portal but I noticed a computer in a window which gave me an idea. I would try and search google images for a picture of the Mojave Desert.

I flew over to a near by computer store and sat down at a computer. I typed in google.com and instead of google some search engine Ive never heard of before. It said PB or something and thats right I could read the computer screen. Basically I wasted the rest my dream. After a long time that I should forget it and just teleport there like the plan. I tried to charge up some energy again but I'm still need more practice. Grah why didn't I just spend the whole dream training! Now I was pretty frustrated and I flew back to the college and there where people there. I tried to charge up my hand and I ran and pushed it into one of the DC's chidori style. Nothing happened however. I walked over to a window that spanned the entire front of a building and round house kicked it. It shattered and fell and was pretty cool. A DC security guard ran at me so I grabbed him by his collar and his belt and flipped him over onto the ground. I tried to charge one last time and managed to get some electricity flowing but I woke up.

Subconscious Shenanigans (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Unfortunately I don't remember this one all that well (I need to work on recall!) but it was indeed alucid dream. I believe this was led into from another dream. From what I can remember, it seems as though I was lucid the entire time. I had intended to communicate with my subconscious the next time I became lucid, so that is what I was trying to do. I remember looking over a rather scenic landscape, and chatting with several people who are all parts of my subconscious, or so it seems. The scene pans quite a bit, and by the end I'm on a floating platform of sorts... tied to a tree, I think? I can't really remember.

Somewhere about halfway through the dream I notice that my "dream" only fills a rectangle in my field of vision. (Think the Animus from Assassin's Creed. I've been playing that a lot the past couple days.) I can see and hear my friend Andy off to the left, and he can hear what I'm saying to these parts of my subconscious. I'm not lucid enough to realize this isn't possible. As for what I actually ask my subconscious, I'm not quite sure. I know I didn't get to ask everything I wanted to. I only clearly remember the bit at the end, though I recall several people. There was also a robot sort of thing that I couldn't really understand. Mainly I was talking to this jolly, but VERY fat man. Towards the end he puts on a record which has some recorded burp-type sounds on a baseline of sorts, which I think is a meme I've heard. (It isn't, but sadly it isn't far off...)

I remember asking in joking disbelief, "have the memes really sunk in this far...?"

He responded, "Well, perhaps you haven't heard this one, but somebody did, on _____" (some website, I can't remember. Think like Pandora radio or Last.fm)

"So what, is it like in the hivemind then, or something?" I joked. I don't remember his response. Around this time, the one question I do remember asking is about having more lucid dreams, to which he answers, "Just be yourself, and keep doing what you've been doing." The advice doesn't seem too helpful, but on the other hand... I did something right. He ends up leaving saying, "Sorry, I gotta go. I'm gonna be on TV soon, you know."

"Yeah, I'm sure you're just wildly popular," I laugh. He motions to a woman that's there suggesting that she's the popular one. There was also some random man there, but I didn't end up talking to either of them. The dream faded before I got to ask the other questions I wanted to, like about intuition and the paranormal.

I'm in a street near my house with my dad, and it's the dream version of the street. We get on a bus and sit down with our tickets. The whole time there was an uneasy feeling about the place.

End

I'm at my school, and everything is normal, but we have a substitute teacher who has us all practising drums on the tables. I'm walking to where I normally go for lunch, but my friend said it's only period 3 so I run back and see my maths teacher getting someone in trouble.

The end.

I'm in the shopping centre up my road and I'm with people. We pass an optometrist who is the mum of someone from years ago in RL. We walk past Gloria Jeans cafe which had been renovated to have a cover over the tables.

I wake up

Boring.

I was playing Chopin's Nocturne op. 20 when all my family was arriving for Christmas, preparing dinner. I went out and the scene changed, I was with my little cousins and suddenly charms started to hit us, I told them to get out their wands and we defeated the one that was throwing us charms. Then we proceeded to the house and my dad's girlfriend was there. She opened the door, smiled and said "You're alone! Your dad's not here. So I guess you're not hungry." I answered with an amused "Oh, I am veeery hungry." and the cook laughed with me.
I went out to wait and his son (about my age, a bit older) was there, parking his car. The scene was like a mountain made of stone, the ocean was down there. I saw a ferrari really small and short car. I asked him how he could fit more than one person there, he said he'd show me. He sat down and told me to sit on him, I sat and he hugged me, then he told me to slide at his side, and, while hugging me. We stood up and walked to the house.
The scene changes, the sun is setting. I see it and get excited, the sun is huge. I tell my friends and we all run down to the ocean. We get up in a small boat and this man gets angry because we have to pay. But we manage to get up again and go to the school dorms where my teachers say I never pay attention.

Feelings: love, desire of being close, confidence, sense of safety,

Dream of September 19th, 2010

I was in a desert, but I can’t remember how I got there or what had happened before this. I was Aang from Avatar the last Airbender. I was flying along in the desert when I saw a young girl with tanned skin and black hair. She said that there were people after her and asked me to help her. I agreed and took her with me to my friends, Katara, Sokka, and Appa.

When I entered the camp I told the gang the girl’s situation. After talking a bit I realized that I wasn’t acting quite how Aang would act, I was acting to serious, so I tried to smile more and sound happier and optimistic like Aang usually does. The girl then told everyone the rest of the details, such as where the bad guys’ base was, and then she showed me that she had wire handcuff type things on her wrists. To cut the wire off of her wrists I put my fingers as if I were using scissors for the game “rock, paper, scissors” and then I closed the two fingers and attempted to cut the wire. The first attempt didn’t work but then I tried to focus my mind and inhaled to bring in energy and then I tried to cut it again, this time it worked.

After cutting the wire we all got ready to leave for the base. For the first part of the journey we just walked, but once we arrived at the tunnel where the enemy base was I had everyone ride on Appa while I flew (which doesn’t make sense since usually Aang walks Appa through tunnels and flies through open areas).

As we descended down into the base we encountered some of the bad guys, which I quickly took care of. Once we got further down the tunnel it started to transition from the rough rock to smooth white painted walls and wooden floors. I’m not sure how it happened but I ended up getting separated from the rest of them. I found the leaders in what looked to be a kitchen but they fled out the door into a hallway.

I’m not sure after if I separated from Aang’s body and became myself or just went into first person after that. Anyways, I walked down the hallway and searched for the leaders when a boy came and said that they had placed illusions and that we would have to break them to find them. I think I went into one of the rooms after that and broke one of their illusions and found one of the guys, and then I went back into the hall and into another room. In this room there were many windows, some chairs, and at the end a grand piano. Something felt wrong about the room, the appearances of things seemed to change slightly every so often, and it made me feel a little weak and my mind fuzzy. I tried putting my hands in front of me and touched everything to see if it was real, and then I went up to the piano and picked it up and moved it. While I was moving the piano it ended up touching some pipe like object which shattered the illusion.

The appearance of the room had changed drastically. Most of the windows had faded away and the chairs and everything else looked plain instead of elegant like it used to. Since the windows faded away the room became darker, and it actually made me feel a little scared. I turned around to leave the room and saw one of the men escaping into a different room. I went to follow him but then the dream faded away.

I was sitting in science class, but I was on the opposite side of where I normally sit. My friend was sitting beside me. All of a sudden I look up and see a spider about the size of a quarter floating down on its string of silk. I backed away and said "a spider!" The guy in front of me must have heard me; so he turned around, and grabbed my science book. I held its string so it couldn't get away. The boy then whacked it. I saw its um.. guts oozing down my side of the table. The the boy put the book down. My friend kept accidentally putting her hand in the guts, not knowing what they were.

DJ Log: September 19, 2010 – Mid-afternoon nap, 3:15PM (USA Eastern)
Text color legend: · NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·

I am in a very crowded house, looking for somewhere quiet to lay down for a moment and dream. I am carrying my flashlight, dream journal and a pen. Every room I open has DCs in it, engaging in some kind of noisy activity. I walk into the kitchen, and someone is baking some kind of muffins. I look at the ingredients that are sitting on the counter for a brief moment, but I cannot read any of the labels. After roaming around for a while, the house seems to be clearing out a bit. I found a closet in the hallway that nobody was in plain sight of. I opened the door. This was the dream's exit.

Text color legend: · NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·

I find myself falling from high in the pitch black sky. There is a small white dot far below me, which becomes larger as I fall. Once close enough, the white dot is a rainbow colored swirling pool. The colors are super bright and extremely vivid. Once I got closer to the pool, my whole field of vision was completely saturated with white light. This was the dream's exit.

Wow, what a crazy weird night. I recalled 5 dreams from all 5 sleep cycles, all non-lucid. This is the second night ever that I've recalled a dream from the first cycle. Maybe I have broken through that barrier.

These dreams are irregular for me. They have scenes and characters that are familiar but I've never recalled dreaming about them before. It must be because of the book I'm reading "Dreamgates." And there's more weirdness that I'll note along with each dream.

0155: Sleep. Before falling asleep, I was in a very imaginative state. Zeo reports 20 minutes of wake before dropping into light sleep. It wasn't a dream and I don't think it was hypnagogic hallucinations. I didn't see any sensory imagery, just internal visualization. I was just day dreaming but it was very easy maintain the dreamplot. It seemed to flow on it's own. I imagined other characters and they seemed to speak and act without my influence. I was looking for a path or portal into the dream world. I met two French girls, Juliette and Maire who I invited to follow me into the dream world. We wandered around, asking people where to find the portal. But we didn't find anything. I remember I was still awake when I changed positions in bed and I no longer felt I was in the daydream.

0350: B. First cycle dream. It was blurry and jumpy but extremely personal and emotional. This is the first time I've ever recalled dreaming about Jen (ex-girlfriend of two years) which is odd because she was such an important part of my life for so long. And there's the whole father drama. I work for some company. The workplace is a house. It reminds me of my godparents' house. My sister, Dave work there and also... Jen?! I don't think I even saw her but but I strongly feel her presence. I am slacking off from work. I show up late. I'm unreliable. Dave is sitting in a wide hallway with a big laptop on his lap. He's waiting for my father but he hasn't arrived and everyone is worried. I feel disgusted. So typical. I think it is because he is unreliable too. Then I learn my father is a key witness in a criminal case and the criminals are hunting him. I still feel no empathy. He's in a car chase. My sister is listening to the radio or TV for news updates.

I go to the kitchen and lay down on the tile. Two cats (or dogs?) come near me. I grab food out of their bowl and pour it on the floor in front of them. Jen's workstation is in the kitchen but she isn't here. I sense she is out to lunch. I look over some papers laying on the floor that she was working on. It looks like geometry homework. I see a bunch of triangles that are paired in twos to form quadrilaterals.

My sister says my father wants to get into police custody. I think "Good, so he can go back to prison." But he actually wants their protection. Mel warns me that he may have been killed but that hasn't been confirmed. I wake up but it takes me a while to realize where I am. I'm feel strong emotions. It feels like the dream happened hours ago and I've been in bed thinking about it for all that time, but it was actually only moments ago. This is the first time in a while that I had to remind myself that "it was just a dream" to calm me down.

0520: Back to sleep after begin awake since the last dream. I got up and read "Dreamgates" for a while to get my mind off the last dream.

0630: C. I'm in a war that looks like Vietnam-era. We are fighting against our own people in two teams with real ammunition and death. It's like capture the flag. Each team is defending an old warehouse in an area that seems like an improvised airfield. The warehouses are full of crates, barrels, guns, ammunition and explosives. Hugh is on my team. The other people on both teams are familiar but I can't put names to them. Some a definitely women. I feel upset because our team is losing. The other team keeps raiding and retreating our warehouse, killing a few people at a time.

I grab a rifle and load it with explosives rounds (but later they don't explode). It's a bold-action clip-feed rifle with just four rounds per clipl more of a WWII-era gun but whatever. I start kicking ass with Hugh's help. We kill everyone on the other team. Only Hugh and I are left. We stand over a dead body and look at a black and white map. It looks like the US with some states shaded in pencil. I distinctly remember the shape of West Virginia.

0810: D. I don't remember where I am. Two groups of friends compete for my attention. One group is drinking Scotch. The other is going to meet Hugh's work colleagues. I choose the Scotch. Something illegible about email? We ditch the other group by stopping the elevator and getting off on a different floor.

0850: B. Zeo shows a short sleep cycle for this one. Maybe it was kind of a DEILD from the previous REM period. Either way, this was a long dream. Some very unusual characters in this one, especially Megan who I've been trying to dream about for several weeks in a different scenario. I start out at work. I'm generating some codes. Then I go to help some girl with her computer. Chris finds me and says "You need to file an AC-10 expense report for those codes." I say, "OK, I'll do it first thing after lunch."

I exit the office. Outside it's suddenly a school yard like my junior high. It's crowded with people. An old friend from middle school (can't remember his name) comes up and hands me a wad of cash. He has short spiky hair and wears braces. He wants me to launder the money by generating codes at work. I tell him it will be harder now because of the expense reports. The crowd disperses as people go to class. The bell rings. I'm late for class but I'm not worried at all.

I walk up some outdoor stairs and walk through a covered hallway. It's suddenly raining and this part of the school is under construction. There are clear plastic tarps everywhere covering stuff. I walk through this towards my classroom. I walk past a group of cheerleaders in the hallway. They are wearing white shirts with the sleeves rolled up and black shorts. The one talking is Megan from high school. She's saying that she didn't have a cell phone all summer and it totally sucked. I walk past them and enter my class room.

The room and teacher are like one I remember from middle school. I'm very late but no one cares because I'm always late. In the row of desk near the door, I see Britney Spears and another female singer, maybe Beyonce. I play it cool and walk past them to my normal seat in back, next to Britney. Chris is sitting at the far corner of the room and I'm reminded of the AC-10 expense reports for work. The teacher hands out kevlar vests to everyone. I have no clue why. He also passes around a slip of paper with two rows of numbers handwritten on it. It's a secret code to activate the kevlar vest. The paper gets pass to me by Britney next to me. I look at it. It's long. Part of it looks something like 1120621. I say obnoxiously and playfully loud: "Holy shit. How am I suppose to memorized this? It's got all kinds of one's and two's." Britney and the other singer laugh and look at me. I look at them and say playfully: "Holy shit, Pop Stars. What are you doing here." I notice they are wearing the same outfit as the cheerleaders outside. They are cheerleaders and are only sitting in this class to be out of the rain.

1052: C. This is a crazy absurd dream which is weird for this time of night. It jumped around a lot too. Usually my weird dreams are in the first half of the night and the second half are more literal. I'm caring for a child. Maybe he is my own son. His name is David. He grows abnormally fast, like the movie Jack. He's a 5-year-old boy in the body of a 30-year-old man. He wants to learn about lucid dreaming. I send a post card to my mother telling her about this interest.

I have a strange encounter at a doctor's office. The doctor, male, says he isn't going to treat David any more. There's also a female nurse in the room. I have to take David home.

Now I'm with a bunch of high school classmates at a miniature golf course. There is also at least one work colleague there too and some unfamiliar faces. I think David is there, but I'm not really watching him. Everyone is playing golf, but instead of golf balls and clubs we use pinecones and dice that we roll with our hands. Of course, these things don't roll very well. There's about 20 people playing at the same time on the same hole, so everyone is blocking each other and also people are playing out of turn. But I'm pretty good with the pinecone. On the last hole, it's my turn to roll and everyone watches with anticipation. But one extremely hot girl is bent seductively over the hole. She is unfamiliar. She is brunette with a tight red tank top over a killer rack. Maybe she's wearing sunglasses. Of course, I miss my shot. I say "I was distracted."

I started off back at my school(DS) and instantly became lucid without dream signs! I wasn't screwing around anymore. It was time to fricking blow the hell out of the Romans and save my Mandalorians. I went outside, and chose from the strongest and most athletic people in the school. We all suited up and I summoned the Romans. And they had modern technology again. So, our first opponent was the hovercraft. I took out my signature Westar-33 Blaster Pistols. We all fired upon the hovercraft. Our attacks were useless. Then, a thought occured to me: Jet-pack rockets! Of course! I bent down, rocket pointing at the hovercraft. I fired, and the craft took a mighty blow. I fired another. This proved to be most effective. Everyone began firing rockets at the craft. It soon went down. It crashed, and exploded, making a huge crater. Now, we could see the prison camp. Romans began pouring out. We began firing. We quickly eliminated them, even though they had blaster rifles. Now, a giant mechanical Roman fifty feet tall landed. No problem, with all of our fire power...
Now thousands of Roman soldiers poured out of the prison camp. "Soldiers," I said."You handle the soldiers...I'll take the robot..." Even though there was only about three-hundred of us, our armor was resistant to blaster bolts, so it'd take a lot to beat us. It was like the Battle Of Thermopylae all over again. This battle was the most epic display I've ever seen in my thirteen years of life. I've never seen so much blood, gore, guts and sweat then this very moment. Seriously. I had finally run out of ammo. However, the mechanical Roman was pretty weak. Then, I remembered I still had one jet-pack rocket. I bent over and aimed at the mighty robot. I fired...and hit the robot. He tumbled over and exploded. I got up. I realized I was only person standing now. All the Romans and Mandalorians(my classmates) were dead. I freed my other soldiers. We took a moment of silence for our fallen. I then awoke...victorious.

Not a lot to report as far as dreams last night. mostly just some fragments. One i can remember very clearly though and it was a FA:

I woke up and sat up in bed. i noticed the candle on the table was still lit, and walked over to blow it out. but the lid on the jar was sealed. i turned around to tell my wife, when i realized that a candle can't stay lit in a jar with the lid on.

I don't remember anything after that.


DILD Class HW:

<@puffin> 1) pick three of the above reality checks and explain the pros and cons of each.

Nose Plug: While very simple, and easy to remember sometimes it dose not work. Several people have stating passing a nose plug RC in a dream.

Location RC: This could work splendidly if you dream about the location you visit on a daily basis, but this would not work for me. My dreams take place in places resembling those from my past like my parents house, or my home town. I have not seen either in about 2 years so remembering to RC when seeing them would be nearly impossible since i never see them...

Reading RD: I'm sure trying to read a webdings book would be key number 1 that you were dreaming, however if you are so into your dream that you can understand the gibberish this RC would pass. This would also fail to work if there was nothing to read at your current location.


<@puffin> 2) why is it better to question reality everywhere, and not just when something specific happens?

Because you could be dreaming about something from real life, or having a FA. I once had a dream i was out shopping in my home town. I didn't even think to question reality because it was something I was used to. In order to really become aware you're dreaming you need to question everything even if the same thing happens at the same time every day like the mail man delivering mail..

Length: 15 min remembered.
Non-dream Dream

This is very fragmented but I'll write what I can.

Anthony and Jimmy came over, It was the middle of the night, they came up to my door and asked if I had weed. "Yeah, come on in, be quiet." Turns out, behind them there was another 5-7 people. I thought oh shit, but just gave the be quiet sign to them.

We all (surprisingly quietly might I add) went downstairs and sat down. I decided to go get some food, and everyone came up with me, everyone was decently loud this time. We all just sort of stood upstairs, and then my dad came down (from upstairs, to the middle floor, I have upstairs, middle, and basement).

He said something like "don't be bad" but he surprisingly didn't give a shit about the 9 or so kids right next to me. I was perplexed, but just told everyone to go to the basement.

Once in the basement, I checked my spot for my stash. It was hidden behind something by a bar (alcoholic, not structural), and instead, it was out in the open on the bar, except there was no weed, only my homemade steamroller. I went back and said my dad stole my weed, then one of the guys said anthony was hiding it from me. Anthony pulled out a gallon baggy with a few grams in it.

I think they started smoking it, and I think I took two shots of vodka, but I might have just memory lapsed into this scene. Me and Anthony went to a door where a water pump normally was in our basement. When we went through it it turned out that we were in a suite, a hotel, and there was some fancy stuff there. It was sort of the bathroom, but it was huge, there was onl y one toilet in another room, and it looked pretty shitty (ha). I noticed there were two people I know, and I saw 2 old guys in a hot tub. I said "Dude, I have to get into that hot tub, I would be sooo drunk!"

That's all of it. Notes: I was high and drunk when I fell asleep today. I know it's bad form to drink 2 nights in a row at my age, but it was a special occasion. It's 09/19/10.

What a great way to kick off my next 50 entries! Yay! First LD in a while. Im going to church later Shit gotta go.

Dream 1: Alright one of the weirdest dreams I had since I joined. I started a class about riding poney's. I missed the beginning of it, so everyone had his horse but me. The teacher shows me the only horse left. Its big and ugly. As it comes up to me, I walk away. Then it starts talking and says that hed like a better master. I sit down and see that all the other poney's are kid sized. I ask: Are you guys riding those? Then I ask our teacher why I cant get a better horse, and he says sometimes they ship cheap ones. Those that have white legs are cheap (which is like mine). Im not sure if the following happened in a seperate dream, but anyway: Later I am in a cafeteria. In the waiting line, I look around to find a place to sit. I see a place next to Roxanne who's sitting in front of her brother. Then I see Julien further on the table, and then I see Alex and Alex sitting at the far end of the room. I think I decided to go sit with them. For dinner, there is beaf, potatoes and beans. Looks awful :X

Dream 2: LD This is the first LD in which a DC told me to RC (more or less). I mean, he didnt tell it to me, but still. In a scene from American dad happening in my house, a man suddenly yelled at Stan to Check on your kids! I got the word check from that. Then when I became lucid, all the characters each ate different colored pills all flew away in jetpacks from my window. I jumped down in my backyard and decided to do absolutely nothing. Just look at the sky, feel the grass and be amazed at how real it is. Nice. So nothing really happened .

I started off in my school(DS). I was leaving Social Studies(DS). I was on my way to Study Hall(DS). This girl in front of me dropped her stuff, so I was forced to wait. By the time she picked everything up, we were the only two on the stairs. As we proceeded down the stairs, she stopped me again.
"I really like you." she said. I was confused. "Do you wanna have sex?" she asked. That was a total WTF? moment.
"I'll be late to class." I replied.
"Oh, come on." she said.
"Okay then." I said. So, we had sex. It started off as making out, then some French kissing. Then, some clothes started to come off. Then, I became lucid noticing I was in school. I have to admit, I was enjoying this. Odd though, as we were having sex on a staircase. After we finished, I realized I had to go save my soldiers. So, I left school. I told my friend Isaiah that I got laid. He was pretty grossed out. Outside the school, I decided to do things the non-fun way again. I kept trying the turn around, but it wouldn't work. Maybe my body was telling me something: Do it the fun way. So, I did. I forced some students to suit up, and we went to battle. I summoned some Romans. On accident, I gave them modern technology. We got man-handled. Upon failure, I awoke.

I am walking down a housing development road on a cool late evening with a DC . The sounds of crickets chirping fill the air. We are walking under a small arched bridge and notice that it is pouring rain on the other side of the bridge. The sound of the rain echoes through the archway. As we walk, the rain suddenly stops and the ground is completely dry. I looked at my DC and said “That's weird. How could the ground be dry after all that rain?” The DC just gives me a strange look and says nothing. I become lucid at this point. After crossing under the bridge, I notice that there is a washer and dryer set sitting out for the trash at the first house on the right. I remember that my dryer is broken, so I summon a pickup truck. A detail-less pickup truck appears right in front of me. Conveniently, the tailgate is already down and the rear of the truck is facing the dryer. My DC won't help me load the dryer into the truck, so I lift it by myself. At first it was extremely heavy, but it became lighter and I was able to load it. My DC walks away while laughing at me. I turn and cuss him to his back as he walks away.

(Note: No-recall time gap and lost lucidity here)

I am standing in a basement, looking at the dryer. The control panel has the usual dial control and start button, but also has many other buttons and lights that completely cover the top panel. There is a series of buttons and lights for each selection on the control dial. There were extra buttons for; 'pots and pans', 'rinse and hold', and many more. I think that all of these buttons are ridiculous as I say. “Why would I put dishes in a clothes dryer?” I walk to the rear of the machine to check out the hookups, and find out that it is a gas dryer. There is a motor visible through the rear panel louvers that has a pulley and a belt on it. There is another motor that appears to be a small air compressor. Many relays, solenoids and other circuitry is visible. There are long quartz heater tubes, connected by springs on both ends which encircle the drum. A hinged panel has 3 small motors on it that connect to nothing. A label on the rear panel has some voltage and current ratings on it After reading a couple of lines, the text would get all blurry. I look away for a moment and try to continue reading, but the numbers would change every time I tried to read the label. I regain my lucidity and decide to walk away from the dryer. I remember mumbling, “Way more complicated that it needs to be. I'm going to find a better dryer.” I wander into a dark corner of the basement and trip over something on the floor. I lose my balance and fall to the floor. This was the dream's exit.
