Dream fragment #1:
I’m part of some sort of race and I’m climbing down an invisible pinnacle in a dark cave. I have to use touch in order to climb down and I make it to the bottom of the pit way ahead of competition. The ground is lit up by light and other people are there.

Dream fragment #2:
I’ve home-made ginger cider. I pour it for a couple people, but don’t have enough for everyone. I’m upset that I only have a little left for myself.

Dream fragment #3:
I volunteer to hold my baby nephew, which surprised my sister in law. Instead my partner holds him and takes him briefly out of the room. This is the first time the child has been out of sight of his mother, which alarms her.

Returning:
I'm at a small apartment or house rental with my girlfriend.
Her parents have just arrived. They have flown in.
I hug my girlfriend's Mom and sarcastically tell her long time no see.
I know that we had just been on a trip with them recently.

Fragment:
Something JRPG related, probably because I've been watching Delicious in Dungeon lately.

Night 1 - Summer Competition 2024

1. Shapeshifter (LD)
I'm in the basement of Meadow main house and begin thinking of MILD. It's like...sending the intention into the dream...
This...place is dreamlike... Nose pinch. I'm lucid. I need to get to my three step! My first one was... full transformation.
I immediately go to shapeshift into mouse form. I shrink down rapidly and feel all four feet on the floor. I want to feel the sensation again, so I revert to humanoid form, then shrink back down into mouse form. Okay... now I need to fully phase. I turn toward a nearby wall and completely walk in. I find myself in the void. I go to walk back out, yet remain in the void. I may as well just teleport. I'll go to Haven...no... I'll go to Teldrassil. I begin begin visualizing a scene of Teldrasil. I begin spinning slowly in the void, waiting for the scene to appear. I wake up.

Record. Back to sleep.

2. Zazen (LD)
I'm in the basement of Meadow main house. It's quite dim and I'm facing a wall unit. My hand comes out in front of me.
"I'm lucid here". I'm lucid.
Hmm I should get to some dream control... I need to do my last three step...I don't want to teleport though... I go to fly a bit but feel gravity yank me back down. I should head to a slightly different area. I head to the stairs and walk up a few before feeling a bit of a sense of urgency. I run up the remainder, then make a right, entering into the kitchen. I should basic summon some chocolate and get something to eat. I fly toward the center island before going to a cabinet to the right, yet don't find a bar immediately. I go to a cabinet to the left that I've been finding them in more consistently lately. I reach up and find a single Lindt bar. I grab it quickly. I should start eating quick to make sure I get the points. I tear open the package in the top corner and eat a chunk. It tastes really good! Hmm... should I go for war glaives now?... maybe I'll just do some zazen as my old personal goal. I head toward the sliding glass door and sit down in zazen position. I feel the chocolate bar on my lap and hear some tumble to the right. I'll just leave it for now. I remember sitting just like this in a lucid a while back...that was a good dream. I begin to breath, focusing intently on my breath. I suddenly hear loud crackling to my right. I consider ignoring it at first, yet it becomes jarring. I snap to go invisible. It'll only count if I'm able to confirm with DC presence...I stand up and look toward the far wall. I see a large pot of water on the stove with fire below. I walk over, considering element manipulation to put out out the fire. I wave my hand once, yet nothing happens. I try again with no result. I raise my right arm for the ring of elements in order to switch to water. I wake up.

Record. Back to sleep.

3. Water and Stone (LD)
I'm underwater. I suddenly become lucid. What should I do for the competition? Maybe I'll manipulate the water. I stick my fingers up and see a jet of water head toward the surface and break into a small geyser above it. I finally get out of the water and walk the concrete perimeter of the large pool. I'm in a beautiful outdoor area during the daytime with what appears to be Roman architecture in the nearby landscape. Several wide, single story concrete pillars surround the pool with haphazard spacing. I go for flight, yet am yanked down initially. I face a large, Roman style structure in the far distance and fly in that direction with ease. I pick up a bit of speed before circling back around at the far end. I zoom back in, manipulating the visual field, and land on the on of the exposed tiers of the structure. I'll go for some super strength. I turn toward a nearby pillar on a slightly higher tier, grip around it, and tear it from the stone floor with ease. I chuck it quite far and turn toward another massive structure to my right. I extend my arm to go for mass TK on on one of the stone pillars. I wake up before it moves.

Run through dream in mind. Set intent to remember. Back to sleep.

4. Quelling the Storm (LD)
I'm with Han on the edge of a room. As I face her, my hand comes out in front of me. I'm lucid. I turn toward her and give her a big hug. The DC appears to shift to someone else, so I mentally will it to shift back to Han. There seems to be a back and forth flickering of identity, yet I quickly decide to just head off. I look around and see many small tools hanging up on the nearby walls. We appear to be in a fairly small ranch with several rooms attached nearby. I should get to some dream control...I'll head outside. I walk through the doorway and enter into a beautiful outdoor scene in the daytime. The fields extend quite far in the distance with very tall, lush streets scattered around the landscape, especially nearby. I'll do some time dilation. I sit in meditation posture, take a breath, and begin expanding and contracting the time sphere. I see the mostly translucent sphere bend the periphery of my visual field as it expands and contracts back to my center. I see the sphere expand and contract, then set my intent to freeze the scene in ice. I soon see snow flakes appear in front of my field of vision, small shards of ice scattered about as well. I stand up, ready to engage the scene. I look up and see a massive, ominous, circular storm brewing in the far distant sky. I wonder if this is a representation of the time dilation taking over the dream... It's swirling toward the center in a hurricane type pattern, black and purple colors hanging menacingly in the sky. I raise my hands in order to banish the storm I wave my hands in front of the storm, focusing my intent. I repeat the process and the massive storm begins to shrink toward the center before disappearing entirely. I wake up.

One dream

I was on a bed with Jamie. We were joking around. I put a towel over my head to jokingly imitate her. She kissed me. It was slow at first, but I was going all in with it. She then matched what I was doing... Then woke up fast.

1. Sleeping Body (LD)
I’m in a dim room, laying down - something seems off. Nose pinch. Breathe.
I’m lucid. I stand up and walk to the edge of the room and phase through the wall. I enter another dim room and head to the center. I raise my right hand in front of me, breathing slowly for three breaths, grounding. I then think of Sageous and stabilization.
“My body is in bed, sleeping. This is a dream”. I continue to repeat “this is a dream” as I look around the room, thinking of others’ advice for extending lucids. I should practice some control for the comp. I transform into a large crow and begin to fly. The feel isn’t exactly how I want, so I lower down and shapeshift into mouse form. It’s quite good. I then enlarge to cat form before returning to humanoid form. I approach the near wall and phase through. I head toward a structure in the center and sit down, breathing slowly. I see a large light, which appears essentially like a street light, on the periphery, it’s view mostly obstructed by the seating area in front of me. I go for mass TK and lift the light up to the ceiling, then gradually lower it. I head farther into the room, deciding to explore more. I head down to a bar in the corner and begin to poor myself a drink. I wonder what the effects would be if I drank a little bit. I wake up.


2. Door of Lucidity (LD)
I approach a door and my hand comes out in front of me.
“I’m lucid here”. I’m lucid. I stop, raise my hand, and take three slow deep breaths. I notice how dim the area is and shout for lights. I head toward blinds on the edge of the room, open them a bit and notice daylight beginning to pour through, the sun now showing itself above the horizon. I begin thinking about what to do. I explore a bit, taking in the surroundings. I notice a couch wrapping around the periphery of the rectangular room which juts out the side of the building that I’m in. It appears to be a fairly large house, with several outdoor areas. I notice a bedroom situated to the right of the main outdoor area. I head farther to the center and notice a large pool to th left and another lounge area beyond. lLightly behind the pool area sits a large dining table. I approach the lounge area and notice quite elaborate tan lounge chairs. I return to the central pool area and notice a large river running just behind the property. I figure it would be fun to swim in it and head back to the original room to proceed in that direction. I consider using this area as a location I can return to - a home base of sorts. I walk back to the original room. I should do some basic summoning and drinking/eating. I approach a bar in the corner of the room and find a bottle of whiskey. I poor myself a glass and take a shot. I have a very strong flavor and sensation in my dream mouth. I begin looking for some chocolate, yet wake up.
I begin to walk farther and wake up.


3. Floating In Meadow Main House (LD)
I head to the edge of the upper walkway, phasing through the bars. I’m lucid. I begin floating down to the lower level slowly. I finally reach the lower level and begin to head through the central hallway. It’s night time. I enter the kitchen and begin to think about what to do. I may as well basic summon some chocolate then begin exploring a bit. I head to a corner cabinet, look inside and quickly find a stack of chocolate bars. I grab a few bars of two varieties in total. One of the packages is black while another is a shade of purple. I open one, take a bite, and notice that it has a great chocolatey flavor. I head toward the back sliding glass door. I look outside, yet decide not to head outside as it’s quite dark; I don’t want to risk destabilization. I walk back into the house, heading toward the center island in the kitchen. I see my laptop and phone and decide to use some electronics. Grab the laptop and notice that a page is loaded. I then pick up the phone, hit a button and notice that a server which appears like Discord is loaded. I see a member name Redyx and figure it’s Redd. I begin to wake up.

4. One Arm Handstand Pushups (LD)
I continue to take shots on the basketball court, and progress to three pointers. I head to the side, walking up to a DC.
“This is a dream”. I’m lucid.
I raise my left hand to inspect it and notice that my wedding ring isn’t there.
“See, the ring isn’t there, but the scars are pretty accurate”.
I walk ahead a bit. I decide to do some one arm handstands. I invert then balance on one hand, focusing on the sensation of balance intently. I then begin to do several pushups. I feel happy and confident about it and finally get up to head to a far corner of the gym. The dream begins to dim considerably and I don’t want to risk it destabilizing. I head to the window and open the blinds a bit more. I finally walk onto the balcony and notice that it’s quite a bit brighter outside. I head farther and notice the tan stucco walls and floor. I head forward and see that there are several buildings of similar construct in the complex. Each has tan stucco walls and converge upon a central area containing a small body of water, channels running between buildings. I notice a large drop by the edge of the wall as I make my way over the edge of the back of the building. I head toward the central area of water and notice a small floating platform that appears to be a lounge area; there are several purple pillows stacked. I go to do TK on them, but am not certain if the pillows move at all. I decide to search for chocolate bars to practice some basic summoning. I open a small drawer and quickly find a ziploc bag with some Ghiradelli bars inside. I grab the bars and turn. I notice the building to the back right and have the memory of a previous lucid. I wonder if that’s the same building as in the lucid and wonder if I can come back to this place as a PR. I begin to think of the name of the area. I think of Ku… as the name, but don’t get an exact name. I float over the central area between buildings, then turn to the left noticing a lower, open area of a building with a lounge area beyond several pillars. I float into the lower portion and notice quite a few DCs hanging out in the corner on a curved stone seat. I sit for a moment, then rise up, taking a bite of the chocolate bar. I wake up.

I walk toward the glass wall and door in the mall area and think about dreaming. Suddenly, I become lucid. I feel a rush of excitement as I rush into the room beyond. It seems to be some type of retail shop with sparse contents. In the center, there are a couple of small circular tables next to eachother.They have a few items on them including a large black hat. It reminds be of a black mage, so I grab it and put it on. I enter into a main atrium area of what appears to be a mall to my right. I think of control and decide to cast fireball. I imagine myself as a black mage and begin casting fireball. I see my shadow cast large against a far wall, including robes, hat, and my hands in fireball casting position, an orb growing in the center. I go to cast at an upper balcony, yet don’t see anything. I turn to my right to explore more. I see a large store to my far right and it appears to be a gaming store. I enter and think of mass telekinesis. I see a few purple stuffed items on top of cabinets set high into the wall on the left. I turn toward the back center of the shop and see a massive square shelf area in the center. I raise my right arm for TK and see the entire perimeter of the unit lift up about five feet or so. I finally set it back down and begin exploring more. I think about scoring points and see some Pepsi in the back. I drink a bit, yet it doesn’t have much taste so I set it down. I figure I’ll basic summon a chocolate bar. I turn to my right expecting to find it quickly, yet as I approach, I only see stacks of games sitting vertically on the far counter. I continue to look, expecting a bar, yet don’t quite see one. I make my way down the long cabinet, curving to the left, yet just see more stacks of games. I head out of the store and ponder what else I could work on. I figure I should fly a bit, so I lift up easily and fly to an upper balcony. I then decide to practice hookshot and shoot one into the wall, pulling myself rapidly toward the upper walkway. I hookshot nearby once again, heading down the hallway a bit farther. I notice the hallway up ahead is quite dim and figure I shouldn’t risk destabilization. I turn back around and think of points for stabilization. I drop down and begin rubbing the floor of the walkway. The dream begins to fade.

Only 1 dream. Jamie wanted to show me what her BPD is like. So she had a grill as big as the room. There was a pound of chicken on one side all spiced up. And a pound of hamburger, also spiced up, on the other side. Sounds like you eat good.

All kidding aside, of course I will never know completely what she goes through. What I experience is a mild form of it. When I knew her more personality. I got the whole experience of having her as a FP. Where your entire well being depends how they treat what day. And when I knew she would most likely never talk to me again... Worst feeling ever. I was physically ill. Felt like dying, or having an arm cut off and you still hallucinate it there. I had a gf cheat on me. Family and friends die . Nothing even came close to losing my FP. Would never wish that experience on my worst enemy. FR.

i was walking outside (nighttime) with a group of friends, David, Misha and more, we found this cart with boxes and David gave me a box, then the pople who owened them came and i was expecting a beef so i took Misha and ran into this dark alleyway and wanted to hide, i was quite far down when i finally realised it is a dream so i did a check (+1) and wanted to get back to my friends, i went trough thease gardens and it was really dark, i lost my vision entirely and then 'took off' my sleep mask to be sitting with my group again, dude started dissing me for sleeping while he was talking, but they were pretty chill, we left and walked trough this underpass to a metro station, it was day on the other side and i figured ill start on my point tasks, i did a quick check again and then spun for stabilisation, jumped trough this glass front of a store and then a big pillar because i wasnt sure if the glass was thick enough (+10), then i asked for wings and felt them pop out on my back (+5), i was standing in a building with a circle hole in the roof and saw clouds change color really fast, i took off and flew trough the hole, found the moon in the sky and went for it (+10) i passed a terraria sky island structure out of minecraft blocks and flew trough a cluster of glowstone (maybe that was the moon), didnt see the moon after that, just a purple vortex/nebula thing i flew into, my vision darkened and i eventually found myself sitting at an outside table of a chineese restaurant with my family, there was a calculator in my noodles, next time i looked at it it was a phone and i tried to unlock it (+5), took the plate to the kitchen (+2), and they wanted to know our least expensive item to make it free, i went back and my grandpa was kinda agitated and i just dropped a glass on the pavement (not in anger) in our conversation and noone reacted, i figured i dont need to listen to this and left, i cast some lightnings (+10) to hit poles (not Polish people) around me and one of my attempts spawned a barrage of flaming arrows (+?) over my head almost looking like fireworks, i saw 'unloaded' buildings without windows and most other features and then wanted to play truth or dare with someone so i began searching for people my age, i saw a dog as i was running trough this crowd and made him big and beasty (+5), he began to wreck havoc so i phased into a shoping mall trough a wall, then i did it again to get to a neighboring room, it was an office with a woman who looked unfaithfull, proppably with her boss, she told me to leave and i said i know what she did so she better think about what she does and i woke up pretty soon after that


- a reality check +1

sum = 48

(im writing this late in the day so i forgot most of it)

I was lucid in a home depo like store and they had a lot of fruit, i figured i want to eat something i never did before and i found blue bell peppers. It tasted less sweet and more dense (taste, not texture), i also recall politely asking for wings and taking off, but i believe that was outside.


(testing how this works so i can post the summer challange dream entries)

Today is June 29. Special day for me, I guess... For I have always seen that number in relation to Jamie. I was going to deliver today, but I was very tired today. Jesus told me to rest today when he cleared my house of the rest of it's occupants for the day spent some time in prayer bringing all my distress to Him. And reserved many prayers for Jamie as well.

Had some better dreams
. Jamie 1

Vague dream. Something about Jamie being at the Staples store in olds. Then me, or her driving down the main road through olds. Looking at people and remembering how different the world seemed in 2011 when me and Jamie worked together. How that summer seemed like 4k instead of today's less saturated 1080 p.

Jamie 2

I remember just standing outside somewhere and Jamie ( seeing her as another girl I used to work with named Julie). She smiles and gives me a big hug. She says something like, "Wow, I can't believe it's been over 10 years since I've seen you." The hug feels nice and warm.

Yeah GL pretending like we haven't seen eachother in the last year, with her drive bys and us passing eachother on 2A clearly seeing one another.

Fun fact: The Julie girl I worked with maybe 4 years ago. At one time I left the first church I went to because I felt like I was being called out. I was struggling with some sins etc and not paying attention to Jesus and wondering if he gave up on me. Well, Julie ran up to me at work one day and asked if I knew Jesus. I said: yes. And Julie said, " I was hiking with my friend from Youth group and she blurted out to me: You work with a guy named Robert right? Well Jesus just told me he really loves that guy!"

Friend

I was with some family visiting a friend in Canmore. Irl the guy is a friend of me and my brother from his high school years. A guy that took his own life. Anyway we go into a fast food place and order some food. We are waiting for what seems like hours for the food. I keep thinking we must have ordered at another restaurant and we came back to the wrong restaurant. We agreed to leave Burger King because we all remember ordering at A&W instead. So we leave and go down some old steps to the sidewalk. My memory fades after.

I'm glad I had a nice Jamie dream

Getting back into the swing of things with a potentially politically inflammatory dream, HUAK TUH!

QuestionMark:
I'm in a veterinarians' office with a pug-like dog. It has the "blue" fur color. The fur is very soft.
The vet tells me that the dog's name is Question Mark.
"But don't say it slow, like that. Say it fast like QuestionMark."
"Is this puppy a boy or a girl?"
"We don't know what they want to be yet."
"What do you mean you don't know? Is the dog transgender?"
The vet holds up the dog and I see a dick.
"That's a boy dog." I say.
"THESHIRECAT!" my girlfriend says in outburst.
I'm near a hole in the wall, and I see some hands come out to pet QuestionMark.
Initially I'm a little freaked out, but I realize they are kids so the creepy behavior is recontextualized into silly kid behavior.

Being Around You:
I'm at a large grocery store, maybe a cross between a Costco, Home Depot, and my middle school from back home.
I'm walking down the hall and I see a small man who seems to have a deformity with his legs.
I respectfully give him the space he needs to pass by.
Next I come across a happy looking couple.
The woman says to the man "I'm happy when I'm with you" as if in response to a question he had asked.
I take a moment and think about my girlfriend, and I get a warm and fuzzy feeling.
I decide I want to find her and express the same sentiment.
I find her checking out the groceries at the register and give her a big hug from behind.
I worry for a second she might be uncomfortable with that in public, but she doesn't mind.

Just a quick flash of Jamie. It was so fast I don't know what it was about. But she seemed good.

What happened to my dream recall?

Cellar spider infestation and visit to ominous school

---

Unfortunately, it's been a little over 2 years since I've started this draft, so I can't do much more than just acknowledge I had it.

2 dreams.

Not sure if these were Jamie or not
.

One dream I'm walking down a street during the day. I pass by a black rottweiler with a pink collar. It pays me a compliment. I forgot what it was. But I said thank you back.

Second dream. I'm in a living room and see my dog. I pet him and then use him as a pillow. The same black female dog comes up and smiles at me and lays down near us.

I'm seeing Jamie as a dog now???

Also, was in Olds today standing in a parking lot. Saw some guy drive by and some girl sitting beside him. Didn't see clearly but the hair reminded me of Jamie. Now I don't really know if I suffer mild traits of BPD or not. But whatever it is - it was set off. Now I'm getting confusion with the voice again. Her voice doesn't check in as much during the day. Our late night prayers and sweet talk is still consistent though. Reacting to abandonment real or imagined.. yep, sums it up. It's hard having a " relationship" with someone in dreams and spirit. Especially when they refuse to actually talk to you. It's a real problem.

1. Before you go to sleep keep telling yourself
'I will wake up and recall my dreams during each dream period throughout the night', Say these words 10 times max. Say it out loud to make your intention strong.

2. Do 30-60 minute Wake Back To Bed.
'Don't use any technology because you will have a hard time falling asleep'. Try your best to recall your dream you just woke up from and write down in your dream journal and read it over and over again making your intention stronger.

3. Repeat to yourself : 'The next time I am dreaming I want to remember I am dreaming' you actually have to feel the words for this to work.

4. Imagine you're back in the dream you just woke up from and imagine yourself becoming lucid and you doing whatever you want. Don't force the visualization or it won't work. Narrating the visualization helps me visualize more vividly.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until your intention is set then fall asleep normally. While falling asleep if your mind wonders to other thoughts repeat the mild procedure.

6. If it takes you a long time to fall asleep while practicing this method, don't worry: The longer you're awake, the more likely you are to have a lucid dream when you eventually return to sleep. This is because the longer you are awake, the more times you will repeat the MILD procedure, reinforcing your intention to have a lucid dream. Furthermore, the wakefulness may activate your brain, making lucidity easier to attain.
