summer competition 2024 - 12.7 (day 6)

i was sitting in the back of a car, noone else was inside, yet i was at an intersection, next i was somehow in the drivers seat and the car didnt do what i wanted, i went the wrong way on a roundabout and police instantly stopped me, i pulled over into this small park and i couldnt stop, it was a slippery slope. It barely stopped before falling off a cliff and i got out, then the car started to slide again so i tried to hold it, but it fell, i was really bummed about the entire situation so i jumped off the cliff, noticed i was fine, became lucid and jumped down again (+5), i was in a park with a lot of grass and the police officers were still chasing me, i cast invisibility and i could see their expression go blank because they lost me (+5), i walked towards a building that looked like my old dorm and suddenly a friend from school appeared and we fought (+2)(im re-reading opm so i got brawls on my mind i think), i was comboing him and after a while realised i should be getting points so i cast rocket jump (like in quake)(+7.5) to drop kick him from ~15 meters, had to repeat multiple times because he kept getting up, i then decided to fly as it is my 3-step task so i asked for wings (+5) and started flying (+5), i was flying above the city thinking about what elemental manipulation i should do when the twin toweres emerged from the fog, there also was a third tower which was a new building planned for a city in Czech Republic which looks pretty similar, my first thought when i saw them was to use them as a target for elemental manipulation and set them on fire, but decided recreating a terrorist attack where 2977 people have died is not very tasteful and figured eating something would be better and dropped down to a mall and into a ice cream shop, took someone's bowl and ate chocolate and wallnut icecream (+5), i ran outside but one of their employees was adamant about me paying, i wanted to run but she was really fast so i figured i could spawn her some money why not, then decided to give her a DV coin (+5) instead since that is more points and continued running on this grass plain till i reached a golf course where a kid with a mullet was playing and i woke up, i also recall opening a DV coin (+2) somewhere on the grass plain and eating the chocolate which was inside (shouldnt have a chocolate layer if yall didnt want me to eat it)

The bustling school corridors were filled with students exploring the myriad of clubs. As I wandered among them, my attention was drawn to a girl repeatedly playing an anti-racist message on a beatbox. The rhythmic chant lingered in my mind as I stepped outside for some air.

Amidst the displays, a large fish tank caught my eye. The fish inside were eerily still, prompting me to exclaim, "Hey, the fish are dead!" But as I looked closer, the water appeared, and the fish began to move slowly, as if awakening from a deep slumber. I could have sworn there was no water in the tank before, but now I saw it clearly, shimmering under the light.

Continuing my walk around the school grounds, a sudden realization hit me: I was dreaming. Emboldened by this awareness, I attempted to teleport, but nothing happened. Undeterred, I tried to transform a nearby tree into a goth girl. Again, my efforts were in vain, and the lucidity of my dream slipped away.

Determined to make the most of my surroundings, I approached someone I believed to be a friend. "Is there hockey here?" I asked.

She nodded, "Yes, we have country hockey." Puzzled by this unfamiliar term, I sought out the coach to join the team. His response was unexpectedly harsh, filled with insults. To my horror, he then began hitting a dog nearby.

Just then, another man, who seemed to be the real coach, appeared, brandishing a gun and behaving erratically. The situation took a bizarre turn as we all began chanting, "No 8 and his wife have been found and we are on our way to capture them" over and over again. The lights around us morphed into dramatic stage lights, casting an eerie glow on the chaotic scene.

As the lights dimmed and the chanting subsided, I awoke, the strange events lingering in my mind like a vivid, half-remembered story.

Dream #1:
I’m in an Airbnb using a toilet that’s in the middle of the room. I’m hoping cleaners don’t come into Airbnb, but I can hear them outside and close. The gardener opens back door then sees me. He’s surprised and leaves after he realizes the situation. Afterwards I go and start packing up all my clothing hoping to get out soon.


Dream fragments:
Chatting about lucid dreaming to someone and how I’m in the “second” out of three states

Three different creatures. Underwater in pool. Similar to cuttlefish fish. They developed a specific way of living to meet their planets conditions. Every is one slightly different. I have moments of flipping coin telekinetically with one of the creatures in the group

In this dream I think I'm WILDing but it turns out this is all just a DILD instead.

I was laying in bed trying to use my usual trick to WILD -- moving with my mind, instead of my body. I struggle a bit but manage, and suddenly I am walking around my room. Everything is dim and difficult to see. In bed I see my body and I laugh at it and make an L with my hand. It doesn't seem to like it because I see it punching me and suddenly I "awake" back to bed (FA, this is still a dream).

I go for the WILDing technique again. This time I go into my living room/kitchen. I go straight for the fridge and try to take something from there (might be copying what other people have been doing lately ). I try to take something from the upper shelf but I my arms are still quite difficult to control, so I go for the lower shelf instead. I take a box of grapes and eat two. The first doesn't taste like anything special, but the second one has a very weird taste which reminds me of pizza. I then turn to my window and want to open the blind, but am suddenly scared by what I can find behind them so I hesitate a bit. The fear makes me "wake up" and I am back in my dream bed.

Third time's the charm though and I go to the window, open it and walk out. The scenary is really nice, nothing like in real life -- a vast green field, with some small tree clusters and a river down the middle. The sky is very gray and there's a light drizzle, I can feel a cool, pleasant breeze on my face. I know it's daytime or early morning even though the sky is so dark. I walk around a bit and as I get close to the river I decide to fly. I float more than fly, but it's very effortless and it makes me feel really good. Then I wake up for real.

During this dream I was constantly hearing a bird singing, always the same pattern.

Lucid Dream:
I used MILD, reviewed my dream signs, and what I was gonna do lucid in that dream. Song “Hiraeth” by Clemens Ruh from prior dream kept playing through my head. Took me a while to fall asleep so I tried SSILD, which turned into WILD and I slid into light sleep paralysis. I asked for lucid dream, but nothing seemed to happen. I was super tired and felt awake in my bed. I assumed it didn’t work, but I worked up the energy to do a RC by looking at my hands. It took a lot of energy to move my hands through the sheets and lift my head. Lo and behold I had extra fingers, making this one of the most convincing false awakenings.

I immediately spring out of bed, and rub my hands to stabilize the dream. Everything is super vivid, however it feels like I have one eye closed so I spend a moment trying to regain depth vision. My first task is to control the elements. I’ve worked with water and wind before, and wanted to try fire for the first time. I lifted my hands in front of me and willed flames into being above my palms. It was really faint at first, but I imagined using my body heat/energy to ‘heat’ up the flames and they became more stable. Still fairly subdued, so I’d like to try again at some point. At that moment, a hyper-real, very physical/sensual man walked right up to me. I do not recognize him from waking life.

It was hard to deny his physicality and I could feel the warmth of his body and pull of his attraction. We chatted for a while and he wanted to engage in "things". We chat briefly about how it feels so real and physical, and if because of that it counts as much as in real-life.

At various points in our conversation I try to sneakily summon a wall that I can walk through since it is on my list as my second task, but unfortunately a wall doesn’t appear and the man is still a distraction haha. The scene shifts and I notice that the man now has the head of animal. This reminds me of my third intention which was to transform fully into an animal. I know it’s out of intended order, but seemed relevant for what was happening so I gave it a try.

I think of the leopard from my prior dream and feel myself morph onto all fours. I look down and see bright orange leopard paws and claws. They are little deformed and too bright so I spend a moment dulling the color and getting the shape right. At that moment I notice there is a wall in front of me. It seems like there are blue stained glass windows in the upper half, and I immediately think now's my chance to practice phasing through. In leopard form, I leap through, but realize I closed my eyes at the last second passing through so it doesn't count. I turn around and try again, but this time the wall almost flips aside like it’s a made out of flimsy plastic. I try one more time and make sure to keep my eyes open and focus on phasing through the wall fully and it works.

The whole time I’m doing this, the now animal-headed man is looking very confused and is trying to follow me back and forth through the wall. He ends up getting stuck on the other side after I phase through.

I end up landing into another false awaking, and do another reality check, but didn’t catch it that time so ended up slipping into a non-lucid dream.

NDL #1:
A group of us are setting a trap for the “enemy” but something about our plan fails and they find out. However the entity we’re up against plays “dumb” for us and sends someone to trip the trap anyways. This person turns out the be a friend. The trap is elaborate and involves him interacting with many different parts. I’m watching him from underneath some furniture so he cannot see me. Once he finishes setting the trap knowingly something changes - There is a brief moment where he is shown as a leopard running (in a new scene). Behind the scene I hear the song “Hiraeth” by Clemens Ruh distinctly playing and I wake up.

NDL #2:
I’m playing fiddle on the promenade next to a beach. I’m playing a slow Irish Air and a middle eastern family comes up intrigued by the tune. The handsome adult son walks up to me and says sounds it sounds like Afghan 'prison' music (not trying to be rude…more it’s just a lament and prison is a sad place to be). A friend pops in to say it’s Irish but originally probably British. Scene shifts to riding in the back seat of a car with the middle eastern man. He wants to play music so he brings out his instrument, which looks like a hammered dulcimer, but played with a short bow. He also brought a violin he can play. A friend is also in the car, and ends up borrowing the violin. I start playing Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór, and both the middle eastern man and my friend join in beautifully. He says this song is brighter than the first one I played, and I reply that is because I never got to the higher octave play through when he first heard it. Scene shifts and we’re driving through random parking lots. My sister, is in front of me now.

NDL fragments:
In a reoccurring area where conflict happens. Usually there are wooden arenas and hills in the area. In this particular dream I’m escaping a pursuer in a rock garden with a lot of cacti and succulents. I try and hide in the shadows to escape from the bright sun.

Advanced combat teams in circular looking submersibles are in a water combat course. They work their way up river firing projectiles from the submersible.

My mom is doing some sort of performance art in her office at home. There is a large crowd in the room so it’s hard to see the end, but her final act in the performance is to feign death. The crowd applauses at her performance and afterwords she goes with me to the buffet to get her sandwich.

**for clarification the below is a dream, I don't own a new property or house.**
I'm in a newly acquired home and I go outside to lock the main gate. I own a huge yard and I look outside the gate and see a mother with two children. I attempt to lock the gate, but the lock is broken. I go inside to retrieve a new lock and when I go outside, I only see the mother now, thinking the kids could have walked into the property I decide to leave the gate unlocked to avoid problems. I go back inside and want to become lucid, so I lay down and close my eyes.

I'm in the void floating around and the only thing I want to do is drive my car somewhere strange. "I want to find my car!" I shout into the void. Instantly the dream world begins to materialize and I'm in an unknown house. I have a normal dream body and decide to open the door to walk outside, the outside world bursts to life. I hear a really catchy retro video game music playing, it's nighttime but the streets and building are lit up with the orange shine of the streetlamps, there's probably 100 people walking around the sidewalks and cars everywhere.



I see a waypoint and I know it's telling me my car is there somehow. I follow it around the corner of the parking lot and find a floating empty white dotted outside of where my car should be. A mysterious jingle straight out of a detective show plays and I see in my upper vision a quest appears with the text. "Find your missing car."



At this point I'm in disbelief of how alive everything is, and I never imagined this scene playing out like this. I just wanted to get in my car and drive somewhere...I turn around and just take in the scene.

I watch one car turning the corner and as if a glitch or hitting a speed bump the car flies into the air for a moment. The driver inside goes limp and dies from the bounce. "Well, I found my car!" I cross the street and just as I'm about to enter it two people come bursting out of the adjacent building. One is my boss, and the other is an owner of a company I know of. "Jeremy!" he demands my attention.

"Yes?"

"Do you have the prints to c4?" (c4 referring to section c on the 4th floor of the building he just exited)

I've never seen this building before, and I don't even have a phone on me. I look in my hand and I'm holding a phone now.

"I don't have them." I tell him and he looks disgusted.

"Does my breath smell bad?" I cover my mouth. I catch myself drifting off and decide this isn't worth it so I turn back to the truck and to dismiss them I say out loud "I quit" When I turn back, they're both gone, I get into the car and start driving. There's some construction material in the way of the car but I don't care and just drive straightforward.

After driving for a bit my mind begins wandering and I catch myself losing lucidity once again but it's too late, the dream visuals have now frozen, and I can't make anything out and I wake up.

**I've been trying to direct my dreams and walking outside and driving was a scene I played out in my head a few times so i was really caught off guard when the dream turned into what it did.

Gamer Course:
I'm in a virtual reality simulation based on The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
I'm excited (maybe a little pedantic) about noticing all the inconsistencies.
The hookshot is the wrong color (using the blue OoT sprite).
The area is similar to Lake Hylia, which is not in Majora's Mask.
...
Later I'm in a warehouse obstacle course, still playing as Link.
I'm carrying a hoody, a bow-and-arrow, and a box of donuts.
I'm stressed out about trying to carry it all and also perform well in the course.
I'm firing disposable plastic teeth flossers as arrows to try and hit targets.
I come to a cafeteria-looking area, where there is a group of gamer-people talking about the course.
There is some discussion about Facebook games, and somebody who tells a story about playing Playstation 1 with Michael Jackson one time.


Lake Hylia in Majora's Mask, apparently. Hookshot is in the only correct position. Fight me.

Carport:
I'm driving home from somewhere with J and H from the Tots.
Eventually we pull into a carport. This carport has appeared in several dreams before, but I don't realize that here.
At some point I switch cars and I'm with just J now.
There is an old woman between us in the front seat who is trying to type directions into Google Maps on a dashboard touchscreen.
She is going slow, but we try to be patient with her. She eventually fails and gives up on it.
Now she is an Animal Crossing looking dog-villager outside the car, and we are looking at her from inside the car.
J calls somebody else to come are pick her up.

NLD #1

Some game and/or tv show and/or soap opera adds a character named after "Luis van Guido" and they have just revamped his character portrait sprite. He has X confirmed kills (or 4 hours to first confirmed kill). My "grandmother" is excited about the news since it's something the hip young ones would also be interested in and is trying to pull up his sprite on her phone to show us but is only getting the old one. I go on the internet to find it myself. He is a handsome looking man with short dark hair and a beard.

NLD #2

Some guy is streaming painting some plushies which each represent various internet people. Before he starts, he takes pics from an old flip phone to show chat. This includes an artist I follow. At some point he also video calls someone who cheekily answers while in the middle of driving which is alarming. During one point in the call they turn around in the driver's seat briefly and we're like "please watch the road!"

LD

FA? I'm in my bedroom and become lucid, nose RC to confirm. With some effort I get out of bed and leave through the window. But before I do, I figure I should look around since I rarely do that. My bedroom is an older style bedroom this time with dark wooden panel wainscoting and frames hanging on the walls. The dream is pretty fuzzy, not very vivid, but I don't think to try and fix this first.

I head out and try to remember what I need to do for the LD comp. I end up on the roof of some building in daytime wracking my brain for some memories. I eventually remember about teleporting. I try to find a door nearby, going down to street level in this dingy alleyway, and see a door that's more like a wooden closet door. Briefly, I consider making my own door/portal because that would count as a personal goal but I figure I should start simple instead.

I open the door and crawl inside. It's empty, there's a shelf near the top, and it's cramped. I close the door behind me and first imagine the outside changing, but then I figure this could be like Narnia instead. I imagine the back of the closet receding and feel around for a second door. I don't have a specific destination in mind, so I open it and end up in what looks like a Muji, with products on display and all.

I am a little disappointed. I try to think of a specific setting and decide on Harry Potter. I find a properly sized door and go through. I find myself on this flight of dark wooden stairs. I squint (everything is still fuzzy and dreamlike) and try to reason if this place could be related to Hogwarts but it looks more like a regular university, like a old New England-style building. I vaguely imagine an auditorium-like setting in my head and keep moving. I don't remember what Hogwarts actually looks like, which doesn't help.

I end up in a dollar store or bookstore with aisles of items on shelves. Instead of worrying about it further, I look around for some magic wands on the shelves and at first see something that might be it, but turns out to be some plastic toy bubble maker. Screw it, I'll make my own wand. I hold both my hands out and mimic "pulling" a long piece of wood out of thin air between pinched fingers, like stretching taffy, until I get a long wand. The surface of it is bumpy and uneven. I try to Wingardium Leviosa something nearby but it doesn't work at first. I remember I need to actually "craft" a magic tool for the competition and try "enchanting" it by imagining a dark spiral pattern onto it and pressing some purple symbols into the wood. There is an older woman behind the front desk that reminds me of McGonagall who gives me some advice about the gesture (down and up).

(after this point I'm not 100% sure I'm still dreaming, though I don't think I feel my physical body in bed?)

I feel a wave of something that might mean I'm waking up at this point and am ""daydreaming"" instead. Feeling a sense of urgency/doubt, I follow the woman's advice and try to levitate a product on the counter and it works (? unclear)

I go outside after and think about what else I can do. I'm not sure if I'm actually dreaming or imagining things right now. I call out for A. just for the hell of it as I walk past a dimly lit construction site through an underpass, the right side of me blocked off by a blue wall. He actually appears around the corner, holding a plate with a slice of cake and a strange two-piece umbrella where the handle detaches. I'm surprised and glad that he's there. I feel the pulse of "something" again. I ask him about the umbrella and he says something about needing to allow or not allow some other people from using it? Unclear, but it's a mischievous vibe. I realize the cake is gone. I want to ask more but then I'm 100% awake.

Summer Competition 2024 - Night 5
1. Castle (LD)
I’m in bed in a dim room. Something feels off. I stand up, feel gravity and become lucid. I quickly make my way to the main upper hallway and begin flying over the banister toward the central upper window. I gently get pulled down, yet I grab the sill and yank myself up and continue to soar through the glass and into the front yard. I look around a bit and see the front brick walls. I hookshot to the top and zoom to the wall. I pick a farther point to the left as the building extends quite far. I hookshot higher up and zoom once again to a farther distance. I see another very large building even farther to the left with several terraces on the top of each portion which seem to have a lounge area - there’s a small glass barrier and people outside on what appear to be lounge chairs toward the edge. I fly around quickly just beyond the buildings, then zoom over. I land on an upper terrace and approach a seating area to the back. I see many people gathered and look to see if I recognize any. I smile and give one a high five and they smile back at me. I head back even farther and notice a dim room in the back that seems to be a mix between a theater and a bar. I look around and see a large wall unit in the back. I go for TK but it doesn’t move right away. I then turn toward a massive red couch in the center. I extend my arm and begin to lift it - midway at first, then right to the ceiling before dropping it back down. I finally decide to teleport. I explore toward the back and lower my right sleeve, looking for the gravity bracelet. I see the beads appearing around my wrist and begin to cast into the wall. I only see a faint outline of a portal appear. I turn to the left wall to cast, yet only see a slight undulating effect in the brick. I decide to simply phase in and walk straight into the wall. Once inside, I begin jogging in place to stabilize. I remember Silvermoon and briefly visualize it before a scene begins forming. I see a stack of massive as well as small stones stacked vertically to my left in the early dawn hours on a grass field. A castle looms in the back and a figure in what seems to be leather armor is in front of me - I think of Link. We begin to walk toward the castle which has blue, pastel type walls. It looks almost like it’s a cell-shaded type look. I enter the castle walls and begin to float up in the central area between spires. The dream begins to dim and I wake up.


2. Phoenix Leaves (LD)
I continue to walk toward the driveway of a house in Meadow and as I reach it, I become lucid. I walk toward the bottom and become curious as to how the DCs perceive things.
“How many of you know this is a dream?”
One in the back raises their hand, tentatively, seemingly unsure if they should be telling me or not.
Yeah okay I think, not really sure if there answer meant anything. I continue toward the bottom. I stop for a moment, and look at my hands, slowing down and focusing. My ring isn’t there as usual. I turn for flight and quickly lift upward, carve to the right, and float in front of the mailbox. I consider hookshot. I just did that…I don’t want to spam it. I lower back down and go for super strength up. I pick one of the DCs up with one arm and chuck him toward the driveway. I then go for teleport, thinking of Silvermoon. I raise my right arm but don’t see the portal bracelet. I go to cast portal into the mailbox, but don’t see much. I turn away and go to summon a phoenix. I imagine a red gauntlet, but don’t see one. I wave my arm toward a tree. I don’t see anything fly, but notice all the leaves of the tree seem to be an orange red, and quite long. I approach the tree and notice that on the ends of each branch, phoenix-bee hybrid type creatures are situated - almost as though they are leaves. I go to pick one up off of a branch. Soon I feel a sharp pain on the center of my nose. Is that from waking life? That actually hurts. I feel as though the skin on my nose is actually peeling. I should probably wake up to check on that. I wake up. Everything is fine.

Finally, some good Jamie dreams!

Jamie 1

I'm driving down a street in a red car with Jamie. It's a nice sports car with stripes down the middle. It's not like that one car I've seen her in with the not quite red and not quite brown color. She's saying to me, " when we are talking again in person I'm going to make you my boyfriend." I guess that's how she already thinks of me in relation to dreams and possibly head voice... She means when we finally talk in person it's going to be For real fr.

Jamie 2

Jamie is telling someone, maybe praying... She's saying, "Make sure Robert gets lots of reassurance." I guess reassurance that she's coming in eventually.

I guess both of us, with our emotional problems.. we both going to need a lot of reassurance. Already experienced a phase of this with the head voice relationship. She was constantly checking in and so was I. And we both equally were able to provide. What others might consider too clingy or toxic, we both feel that level of giving and receiving attention good for us, which is why I think we are the best together. Nowadays we mostly check in at night and seem to be happy with that.

Jamie 3

I see her camping and making out with some guy by a fire. . .
That better have just been a dream.

Jamie 4

Standing by Jamie in a kitchen by a stove. From a pot she grabs a large spoonful of gravy and feeds it to me. She just was smiling while doing so.

Did she know I had roast, potatoes and gravy last night?

Dream #1
I’m driving with a couple in a black car, driven by some sort of butler. We enter a rundown warehouse area, long buildings made of white aged brick and sheet metal. It is a bright day with blue sky. The couple had bought a house that used to belong to a millionaire and near the warehouses. The house is on the right and is mostly white brick, and covered in some graffiti. There is gravel all over the ground and I can hear it crunch under the car wheels. A church is across from the house and it has largely open walls so you can easily see the people inside. It looks like some sort of mass is in progress. The couple want to engage in 'private' activities in their house, but it would mean in full view by the Mass, so they don’t. There’s an old lady playing the organ off to the left of the church. As I look around I notice there is also an Antique store in one of the other warehouses, which I’m excited to check out.

Fragment:
I'm hosting a party with my girlfriend's family. There is water saturating the carpet and I'm concerned that something is wrong.

Odd Pressure:
I hear my alarm go off and I reset it to snooze for 20 more minutes.
I wake up again and I notice that there is something wet on the floor. I go back to sleep again.
My alarm goes off again and this time I get up.
I go through my normal routine, and start brushing my teeth.
I feel an odd pressure on my left side. I realize that it is actually my girlfriend's body up against me on the bed.
I realize that I'm dreaming, and I don't feel the pressure anymore.
I quickly grab some toothpaste and swallow it, realizing that I could get competition points for that.
The taste is close to how it normally should be, but somehow drier. Blueberry-ish flavor.
The dream fades quickly, but I'm satisfied that I managed to do something before then.

Tot Gym:
I'm at the gym with some people from my 'Tots' friend group. H is there and also M.
The gym resembles the Crunch Fitness I visited some weeks ago.
There is a high-tech looking machine that requires a top-level membership to operate.
I'm worried that my friends are going to be lifting heavier than me.

This time I was crawling through cramped mechanical rooms with pipes and cobwebs, so I transformed the area to be similar but in the pr. The space turned into a tight cave and the pipes turned into roots. Once I got above ground, I was in a massive hollow tree with strands and vines hanging down. As I walked within the tree a spider with a body the size of a car jumped onto me and bit down through my armor. It began spinning webs and I could feel the armor imploding down into me. My book fell out and it opened to the page with the fire spell, so I molded the fire that came out to attack the spider and surround it in flames.

The flames spread to its webs which used to be hidden in the darkness. As one entire orb web was lit, it exploded and released acid that melted huge chunks of the tree and my armor. I gave myself invulnerability to survive the wave of acid and tore through one of the arms of my armor to crush one of the spider’s arms. Jumping back it spoke in scratchy noises but I used mind reading to understand and speak with it. It believed I was one of the Alliance due to my armor but it understood who I was from seeing my skeletal arm rip out.

The poison from its jaws missed my body in the armor but the acid from the web was extremely destructive so I asked it about its webs. It explained that there was nothing stored in the webs, but they were made in the shape of magic circles. It taught me the circles it knew including one it used to crush my armor. I found out the spiders in the area did not identify themselves as part of the Horde but they completely aligned with it against the Alliance. As we spoke I ended up meeting insect-like monsters who gave all kinds of information on the land, war, fighting styles, magic, and weapons. As we were talking, a party from the Alliance came walking through.

Seeing that we had to fight, the first spider I met then carved a glyph onto my arm so I could produce its silk which was useful for instantly creating spells. I wanted to fight alone to test my new knowledge and they agreed to it. As I jumped down I spun magic circles on myself to lighten my fall and silk to patch up the holes in my armor. I tried talking but the party instantly aimed all their weapons at me and the fight began.

They all came at me at once and I fought back with the ice sword in one hand and the broken sword swinging on a thread in the other. One in the back got slashed by the broken sword as the closest enemy got stabbed and instantly frozen. I was then able to use spells by having them written on myself and my armor instead of opening the grimoire to a specific page. I used that magic to teleport around the party attacking each one before they could react. I combined that with extreme speed to completely disorientate them. When only one was left, they used a spell to throw my weapons out of my hands and a magical circle appeared in the air in front of them. I recognised it as the acid spell and my hand through the circle and into their chest, both disrupting the spell and ending the fight.

After the fight I looked through all that they had including their spells, better armor, maps, and extra weapons. I was able to understand the enchantments on the broken swords thanks to the knowledge the spiders and monsters gave, so I left it there. All that I could not carry such as extra armor and weapons was analyzed for their enchantments but left behind. Using their map, I decided to move on towards more allies of the Horde.

1. Construction
I become aware as a scene of an outdoor area with large orange shelves on either side of me forms. The central, concrete walkway is quite wide and about one hundred meters long with people bustling in the center. I need to engage. I pick up momentum, running into the scene and the dream soon feels more stable. I notice that the shelves are made of metal bars, similar to what you'd see in a construction store. Hmm...dream control time. I go to fly up, but the dream resists. Strange... I go once again and drift up to an upper shelf to the right. I then float across the upper shelves a couple more times before noticing a figure in the central walkway. I should interact. I float down to him.
"Hey! What's going on"
He looks at me and give a big smile and a nod. I just decide to move on. I look down at my hand, breathing and grounding.
I float farther down to the right and notice that there's some type of outdoor shop, which open up even farther down to the right. I notice many stuffed items around, as though a portion is for kids. I notice safari-type stuffed animals on a small round table in the center. I extend my arm to turn one of the animals to life. It doesn't respond. I float forward and begin to wake up.


2. Enfeeble
I'm aware as a scene forms in a dim room. I'm sitting at some type of conference table and some type of important, yet ominous business man is sitting to my right. I need to engage. I feel as though I can't begin engaging yet. I continue to listen to the man talk and feel like I need to distract him. I turn to my left, look at a worker and set the intent to make him weak and collapse. The man hunches over, and falls to the floor. The boss seems to be concerned and focuses on the worker. I begin to wake up.

3. Sink
I'm aware in Meadow main house, toward the top of the stairs. I begin walking down, ready to begin some control. I begin flying toward the upper window, yet the dream gently pulls me down. I decide to just phase through the thick glass of the front door and walk out into the dark night. It's a bit dark here...I could just teleport, but I don't feel like going to void right now... I simply turn and phase back in, where there's more light. Once inside, I go for full transformation into a phoenix as I make my way through the central hallway, yet it doesn't click accurately. I decide to go for some basic summoning and eating before moving on. I'll get some ice cream - I've been having a lot of chocolate in dreams lately. I open the freezer and bright light comes out. I reflect on the quality of my awareness, gazing into the bottom of the freezer. This isn't too different from waking life...it feels so stable... I don't want to engage any other DCs, so I decide to do it quietly. I notice a large tub of strawberry ice cream on the bottom, so I pull it out and place it on the counter. As I look more closely, the container seems to morph: it's now a plastic container and as I scrutinize the contents it seems as though the package inside becomes smaller and simply white. I'll just get something else. I look back in the freezer and see a round cake to the right and half of a long, narrow cake to the left. It looks like it's chocolate and custard, so I gab that. I take a big chunk into my hand as I walk across the room, considering what control to do next. I could do mass TK, but I should do something else...turn some music on?I take a bite of the cake, yet a very strong taste of garlicy, buttery salmon explodes in my mouth. Whoa!! It's unexpected and I feel like I need to get the taste out immediately. I spit it out into the sink, but it persists. I begin rinsing my mouth out. I stop for a moment and look at my hand, stabilizing. I reflect once again on how stable and focused my awareness feels. I turn away from the sink to continue. I wake up.

Dream #1
Get dropped off at airport gate by van driver who’s doing individual rides. Get to security and realize I’m traveling with a bunch of paraphernalia that I need to sort. There are a bundle of wood wands from my childhood that had been cut at the ‘handles’ and separated. I also spent a long time anxiously trying to put out a variety of incense that wouldn’t stop burning. I was worried that security would catch the smoke.

Dream #2
At the Japan airport gate. My sister is trying to change her seat from Red 9 to the lounge because she missed her connection last time she sat in red 9. She points to confiscated items under the help desk, picking up a lighter, to show her ask is reasonable but it’s denied by old Russian man behind desk. We board the plane.

Dream fragment #3
I’m hiding under some slatted stairs and a friend is teasing me with realistic stuffed animals that he had made.

Dream fragment #4
On top of moving train. In some sort of hammock and trying not to lose my keys or other things out of my pocket through the hammock netting.
