Day awarness
Keeping waking awareness is easier than before but still I need working with my memory because it is very common when I just forget about my awarness xD This is why I added correction factor (or as you prefer - efficiency) as second goal for ADA. Also I see my general memory is a little bit better than before. And I pay more attention for details in my environment

Correction factor - 0.45
Points of Awareness - 44.7 PoA per day

Week 6
Correction factor - 0.45
Point of Awareness - 84.6 PoA per day

Goal: Reach “very high awarness” level
Month 1: “Non-zero” (> 0 PoA)
Month 2: “Occasionally” (> 48 PoA and correction > 0.40)
Month 3: “Low awarness” (> 144 PoA and corr. > 0.45)
Month 4: “Moderate awarness” (> 240 PoA and corr. > 0.50)
Month 5: “High awarness” (> 336 PoA and corr. > 0.55)
Month 6: “Very high awarness” (> 432 PoA and corr. > 0.60)

W1: Boy Scouts
At Boy Scout camp, outdoors, I realize that I've forgotten my utensils (also, plate and cup)! This is the first time this has happened! I'm wondering how I'll eat. Talking about this with a friend and they say, "at least you have your pocket knife," and I realize this is true, so it's not all bad

W1: "Dad" Group
Indoors in a large open room like a public or University library there is a group of young boys around 10-11yo at a table, they are really happy to see me, they all shout in unison, "Dad!" I see a young version of my best friend MkRb, then I see another copy of him in a different spot

W1: [Fragment]
Something outdoors with a group of people, and an underpass?

W2: New 3D chip! [DS]
At work at [company R], I'm with my office mate StPd and we're working on a gaming cabinet trying to bring up our new 3D graphics chip. I manage to get a high-res graphics display working, seems sort of like old Apple II hires graphics (greens and purples), and a screen scene sort of like the old Apple II game "Star Wars" [trying to shoot the TIE fighter], we get it working and there is a screen of some animating objects, spinning around, we're really happy, game dev guy JyEsnlwr comes by and we do a (virtual?) high-5.

Walking through the building/large open room, I'm eating (somebody else's?) Cheeze-Its.

Another demo station, there is a guy working on the VR goggles. He takes off the head set and offers it to me, I see it clearly, it looks very realistic, I see the goggle outline, the head band and the two eye piece screens on the inside. I put it on and try it out. It's running a program of the display of a sort of a 3D mummy/skull, brown and black, amazingly vivid, and I'm moving my head around, left and right, and appreciating all the changing lighting and shadowing effects a I move my head.

There is a guy where who is challenging me about the scanline programming. He's demanding that I answer about the nature of the scanline layout, what the stride between lines is, I feel like he's trying to trap me in to admitting that I don't understand or mis-designed it. I'm thinking about his questions and don't want to give a wrong answer. Then I finally realize and say "Well, of course the right answer is to have a register which holds the value of the scanline stride, so that it can be completely programmable."

1. Ground Slam (LD)
I’m laying down on my stomach taking a nap and my lucidity starts to rise. I guy wants to cut into my shoulder blade and I feel drowsy so I simply think it doesn’t matter since it’s a dream. He starts to cut in and my back starts to hurt, although one sore area feels relieved. I find the pain very strange, and I'm fully lucid. I feel I need to do something and get defensive. I get up and my dream body transforms into a giant form and power starts to surge through me. The dream is very dim, but I continue slamming him literally into the ground by pounding with my fists. I then follow up by casting a fireball at him when in the hole. I see the fireball get cast through the dim fogginess of the dream. The dream fades.

2. Invisibility Snap (LD)
I’m walking next to a group of people, along with one of my friends, outside of a building which resembles a school. I suddenly realize I’m dreaming and decide to simply phase right through the door near me to get into the building. I start thinking about where I want to go. I turn to my right. I enter into a bathroom and realize I need to pee. I realize it’s kind of silly peeing in the dream, but I feel I need to, so why not? I then, by habit, go to wash my hands realizing that washing and drying is silly as well. I see myself in the mirror to my left and begin to think about casting frost or fire. I remember back to imagining a spell tome attached to me. I imagine the tome quickly in my mind’s eye, but don’t actually check to see if it’s in my left hand. I go to cast fire, yet visuals don’t quite appear. I leave the bathroom and think about what else I can practice. I suddenly think of invisibility, and snap my fingers on my right hand, imagining it’ll begin then. I see a couple characters gathered in the hallway and I simply walk past them without them seeing me. I continue to make my way outside simply by phasing through the door. A group of people gathered outside doesn’t see me either. I fly a bit farther, and reach a chain link fence. I begin scaling it, but the top bends as I do so, the group of people behind me watching. I begin making my way over, but the dream begins fading. I engage my senses, feeling and visualizing myself climbing the gate, and the dream persists a bit. The dream eventually fades.

3. The Yellow Screen (LD)
I’m lucid as a screen yellow screen with a woman displayed on it. I’m trying to hold onto the dream and begin walking through the dim environment, the screen continuing to follow me as I walk into the dream scene. I appear to be in the hallway of the main house in The Meadow. I begin heading down the stairs and the dream fades.

4. Screen Phase (LD)
I’m in a bedroom watching a really funny commercial of a guy showing how people are misinformed with information. He’s going through various rooms in his home. I think it would be cool to simply phase into the scene, and I suddenly realize I’m dreaming. I turn to B behind me, telling him I’m going to phase, but he’s restricting me. I break free and begin to phase into the screen, but wake up.

5. The Child (LD)
I’m in a dark area and B tells me that there’s a child in danger, yet no one will be able to help. I go with the plot and pick him up, flying him over to the entrance of the dark building. I leave him for a moment and go outside into the daylight to look for assistance. I hear from the group inside that they’re going to call for a doctor, but feel I’ll be able to do a better job. I fly back in by phasing through the door, grab him, and head back out by phasing through the door with him. The dream begins fading, yet my lucidity rises a bit. I imagine myself on a small island and have slight visuals of myself within the scene. The dream fades.

W2: Video Presentation
In a room, (small circular), with a teacher, we're setting up a video class for kids.

W2: Outdoor Pools [DS]
[DO] I'm looking down over two pools side-by-side.

Just had a lucid nightmare. I’m currently waking myself up fully to avoid DEILD.

It would have been much worse if it wasn’t lucid. I dreamed that myself, my spouse, and an ex friend were driving through the hills. We hung out, caught up on old times, stopped at a café, and drove for a bit.

I bought the ex friend some food and thought things were going okay, though she seemed cold. Then, suddenly, she swerved and intentionally drove us off the side of a cliff.

I was lucid, so I made us land gentry and then snapped time back a few seconds to put us back on the road.

But she immediately did it again and again… and again. She grinned and I realized that she was lucid. She knew I was rewinding time.

She had every intention of driving us off a cliff. It wasn’t a misunderstanding or an accident.

I got fed up and pulled her off the steering wheel, then shoved her out the window. After she was gone, I sat back down with my spouse and had a breather.

I woke up with the next natural WBTB.

I still feel uneasy. It’s that uncanny sense you get about a person. It feels like they’ll kill you if they’re bored and can get away with it, but that’s so extreme, you tell yourself there’s no way…

But this feeling didn’t originate in dreams. I’m more aware now. It’s real.

1. Invisible (LD)
I pass the group of boys in the room which resembles a restaurant. I make my way a bit further into the room, suddenly realize I'm dreaming, and I'm happy about it. There are several booths with people in them spread throughout the room and a wall in front of me which seems to block the passageway which leads out of the building. I think about what I want to do and decide against teleporting; I feel it's best to enjoy the current dream. I decide to simply head around the wall and leave the building. I enter an outdoor area in daylight which somewhat resembles a sidewalk in a city type area. There are tall builds to my left, a fairly busy street to my right, and a wide cream colored concrete pathway leading down the area. I begin thinking about some dream goals, and figure I'll play around with transformation for a bit. I decide to transform into crow form, and suddenly my body shrinks down to roughly twelve inches or so. I decide to look at my dream body to see how accurate the transformation is. I see that I have some human features including shoes and think it looks silly. I begin walking again and suddenly return to human size. I begin to see some shining lights which emanate from the buildings. There's also a small metal structure which resembles a bus stop of sorts. I walk a bit further and notice a female police officer. For some reason, I get the feeling she may be looking for me, so I decide to transform into a mouse and rapidly make the transformation, shrinking down to several inches and feeling my body take the shape of a mouse. I see two large metallic structures to my left, against the side of the large buildings, which are shaped similar to an electric razor and have several convex pods on the end. She seems not to notice me and I skid past her, moving slightly underneath one of the metallic structures. I suddenly remember invisibility from dreamviews competitions and decide to try it. I talk a few steps forward and revert to human form in the process. As I approach the officer, I imagine myself becoming invisible. I hear an interesting, loud decrescendo of a low pitched electronics, and I easily move past her without her noticing. As this happens, the dream begins to fade and I transition to a dream where I spend a solid three to four minutes dream journaling most of the lucid.

2. The Emerald Tree (LD)
I suddenly become lucid in the second story of a building which resembles a large house. There are several windows to the outside as well as an opening to the room to my right. I transition into this room and simply fly out of the house. Once outside, I look down and see a group of people in roughly their thirties looking up at me from a table. There are about five of them eating a meal together and they're smiling at me with interest. It appears that they're having a barbeque out on the deck of the house. I want to have fun and play around and say in a playful voice that I'm flying and ask if they know how. I find the interaction really funny, and they ask me how I'm doing it, staring in wonder. I tell them that I just meditate a lot, and I fly forward and to the right, past the group. I descend a slight bit, and in mid-air, and think about what I want to do for a moment. The group says something to the effect that I have a lot of skills and I'm good at what I'm doing. I turn to my right and see a massive tree in the distance. It's roughly twenty to thirty stories tall with a straight vertical tree trunk leading to a massive spherical top filled with green foliage. It seems to be emanating emerald hues, and I find the scene beautiful. I think back to the portion right before I came lucid where H was telling me what things in life are best for me. I find that this would be an interesting thing to ask the dream, so I turn to my right and ask something close to "Dream... what is best for me"? I don't get a response. I try once again, and move fly a bit in the direction of the response. I don't get a response yet again, and I see the group at the table smiling at me with amusement. I look at one of the guys and say to him in a funny playful way, "Don't say anything, guy!" I find the interaction really funny as I think he's going to mess around with me playfully. I think about what I want to do next and fly in the direction of the green foliage in the distance in an expansive area. I continue to think about where I'd like to travel to, then wake up.

Mechanics Realms (NLD) 08.10.2023

I don't know if I was lucid because I would have gone with the plot either way. I was the creator of a video game that is very similar to minecraft creative mode except the voxels are 1 decimeter and there is mechanics that allows for non grid snapped creations that work with physics simulations. The map is an infinite fractal where each voxel just has a color. Players move out from the center and claim voxels that they can then color and manipulate. Most voxels are smooth but you can instead choose to have a little stud which is like a lego stud and the voxels can rotate around them. I think it was called "mechanics realms" or something like that because the physics simulations let you make advanced physical mechanisms like zeplins and such.

When the game started out, the player base was claiming the area immediately around 0,0,0. I could see a map of the players progress sort of like r/pixel. People seemed to like the game but it wasn't catching on right away. This is where I started alternating with another plot line. Outside the game I was one of the friends of the teenage aged kids from Stranger Things. I tried to get them to play the game but they lost interest quickly. Lucas had a big basketball game coming up and I really didn't like some of the players on the other team. They were bullies. Luckily the other team sucked so Lucas won the game.

Back in the game, I added a mechanic similar to the nether in minecraft where there is a plane you can teleport to to travel faster relative to the overworld. When I came back to the overworld I was in a complex and colorful fractal like cave!

Back in the "real" world I tried to tell them about the game while hanging out. I think there was some dialogue but I suck at remembering dialogue. Then I woke up to my alarm.

W2/3: City Skiing
DO there are people skiing on city streets. The streets are very steep, like in San Francisco. There steep hill sections between intersections are broken up by level areas where the cross streets go across the steep vertical streets, so the steep sections are not continuous hills but have flat areas every block. There are cars also driving on the streets and I'm sort of amazed that the skiers are able to share the streets with the cars.

W2/3: Burning Building
[Some longer part of the dream, forgotten] In the distance I see a large building with smoke coming from it, it is probably on fire.

W2/3: Mega Theater/DMV near epic
Entering the Theater

I'm with a male friend and we're in line for a major performance in a theater. As we approach the main entrance, the usher stops the line and blocks the entrance with a ribbon, right in front of us. I think "what bad luck, we almost made it in." There is a huge crowd still in the lobby/entry way in front of us. I think there is space for us still in the line. The crowd surges forwards, and now there is room for us and they remove the ribbon and let us in. We join the crowd surging forwards to hurry in to the theater. We enter it, it is cavernous, a huge theater with many levels and many different seating sections. We're in the back right corner of the theater, either ground level or 2nd level. The theater extends very far in front of us and to the left, it is really huge.

Finding our seats

Everyone is rushing to find their seats before the performance starts, because once they lower the lights it will be impossible to find the seats and we'll have to leave the theater. We've moved to the left hand side of the theater, it's really confusing, I'm trying to figure out where we're sitting. The seat is marked by a combination of section, (then row and seat #?), but I can't figure out where our section is. I figure that I can bisect the search by finding the sections larger than our and less than our and then ours will be in the middle. There are sections full of seated people all around us.
[A lot more, really long dream, forgotten]
S/A meeting w/ people in a central area?

Enter the DMV

There is a really large indoor lobby, this is the (DMV?) we're here to do some administrative tasks. We enter the large area and descend to the ground floor, we need to get through a turnstyle/gate, some people (my friend?) is let through, but I'm detained and brought to an administrator. The admin says that I am denied service because of a violation, and shows a video of me at some automated robot kiosk where I supposedly was earlier, the kiosk (robot? clown?) asked me a question and I gave a flagrantly false answer. And because of this lie, they are denying me service.

I begin to make my way out of the bathroom and see another man entering. I feel I'm not supposed to be there, so I try to be discreet. I suddenly realize I'm dreaming. I don't want to be in the bathroom, so I just walk into the wall to teleport. My vision goes black and I start imagining a snowy scene, with building in the periphery comprising a small town. I hold the visual for a while, and eventually shift to just picturing snow. Suddenly, I find myself in a massive depth of snow - about six feet or so - and I appear to be in the middle of the street in The Meadow. I'm really excited and think "I did it"! I'm super happy, and all the snow is beautiful. I become excited to post the experience on dreamviews. I think of where I want to explore to, and I'm drawn to exploring farther down the road - an area I've never been. As I glide farther, I realize there's progressively less snow until I arrive at an area where it's essentially gone completely. I see several three story structures at the edge of the street and they appear to be tall houses. I'm excited to explore them, but look inside and get a creepy vibe from them. There are some items inside which remind me of the Halloween season, several black skulls and some items which makes me think that they belong to witches. I make my way between the first couple of houses into a T intersection in the pathways. I decide to turn around from this area, and leave by heading back through one of the buildings. I enter and see there's large panes of glass on either side of the back portion of the main room and an area in the middle to transition through. The area is filled with many colorful items, yet slightly macabre. I head through the area between the glass and enter an area behind the building. I begin thinking about dream goals and consider element manipulation. I try to visualize an ice shard appearing above my right upturned palm, yet it's very faint once again. I try transformation once again, attempt to visualize turning into a djinn. I notice a small increase in the size of my arms, and my body grows slightly. I then try transforming into crow form. I put some mental effort in, and suddenly my dream body shrinks down to under twelve inches or so. I don't fly, but continue moving and my body reverts. I continue into the area beyond, see a mirror against the wall and think of technology use. I imagine pulling a cell phone out of my pocket and see a faint image, yet dark, of myself in the mirror, yet don't see the item. I don't use the phone for anything however. I consider teleporting once again, yet figure I might as well enjoy the area. I continue further into a series of many buildings. In the first, several kids are gathered for some type of activity. I float upward to a second story area and there's a small lobby type area with several people gathered. One lady in front of me is on a treadmill, and I find this amusing. I leave this area and float to an outdoor area with asphalt. I reflect on how long the lucid feels, and that it isn't taking much effort to keep stable. Suddenly a large cream colored truck - possibly a cement truck - is partially on top of me and I'm knocked over and pinned under the hood. I reflect on how lucids may be exhausting for omnis. I use my strength to pry myself from under the truck. Once standing, I consider to what to do next, yet wake up.

W2: Bathroom Pod
In an indoor space, house maybe, or a dorm, I need to pee and I enter the bathroom, which is a round room right about 2-3 meters in diameter in the middle of a corridor. It has sliding curtains on each end, and I slide them closed on both sides. At the top where the curtain meets the wall, there is a latching mechanism that locks the curtain in place. I flip the lock (down? up?) (it's like a light switch, a vertical lever) on both pieces.

W2: Sports Announcer Room
I'm getting a tour of a large complex, like a sports stadium administrative area, or a (old?) school. We're in a room that I think is used by the sports announcers when they're giving the play by play of the games. It's a sort of messy/decrepit area. My vision focuses on a wall where there's a blackboard. The blackboard is not clean, there are signs of previously written things there, or a template that is used over and over again, I think it needs to be cleaned. On the wall are signs of left-over posters (?). The guy giving the tour says that "it will be painted" (the walls...to a grey color?).

W2: Touring the Housing Complex
Possibly a continuation of Sports Announcer, the guide and I are traveling outside in daylight along a gravel road that leads through a housing complex. The houses are to the left and right. It is a wide open area with no trees on flat ground, only the gravelly road and the houses up ahead. The houses, particularly on the left, are maid of large, brightly colored stones that look like jewels, many different colors in patterns along the front of the houses. The guy giving the tour said the houses are made of "native stone." (Go inside one of the houses and see some of the people there?)

W2: Movie Theater
I'm sitting in a movie theater. I'm in a central seat in the central back section. The theater is about 30-40% full, with people evenly spaced around the entire seating area. The seating area does not slope much, and the heads of the people sitting in the front sections will obscure the screen a little bit. The screen area is like a small clamshell theater stage, approximately a hemi-sphere. There is scaffolding in the area -- it's currently under renovation apparently. I can see the areas of the curved wall that have been freshly painted/covered with spackle. The display area left to the projector is quite small, I think. Just a few square feet.

A guy comes in and walks down the left aisle and seats himself in the left-of-center section. This is a guy "I know" and "am waiting for," in our group, and I think he should be sitting with us, and that we perhaps should signal him so he can come sit with us.

W3: LD Cream
[Waking up hypnogogia?]
DO, observing, holding in my hand a can of cream. It's used to help LDing? S/O says (or it's written on the can) "I'm 24 and it's still difficult for me." Then S/A taxation, and how the price will keep going up because the taxes will increase, while the base price of the item stays the same.

1. Music (LD)
There is a group of people in a second story area that is gathered to play music I'm in the lit up room watching them and I suddenly realize I'm dreaming. I turn around and see that back of the room, which resembles an attic type area. I look around the area, considering what I want to do in the dream, and realize I don't want to stay in this area. I head forward and to the left and decide to simply phase into the wall to teleport. I walk into the wall to my left and my vision goes black. I begin visualizing a snowy scene with some building on the periphery. I hold the visual for a while, yet nothing forms. I begin to just visualize snow. I stop intentionally visualizing, and suddenly I'm in a grassy area which resembles the field in The Meadow. I look forward and see The Dark Woods. I consider flying and exploring that area, but fly a bit to my left instead. I quickly descend into a thicket of brambles, and get caught in its snare. I keep trying to pry my way out, yet the brambles are holding me tightly. I figure it must be my waking body that I'm picking up on. I imagine myself turning into a Djinn and breaking free. I see my forearms come in front of me, and visualize them glowing with blue energy. There are faint wisps of the energy. I eventually grab a few of the parts that are sticking to me and pry myself free. I fly toward the front section of the field, and consider which direction to head in. The scene in front of me is very vivid, and light sunlight is streaming into the area. The fence to my right is still missing from my earlier non-lucid in which I moved it. The buildings in front of me, however are not the usual buildings. The one to the left is a massive, yet simple cathedral of sorts made out of wood - it appears to be quite aged and has a central spire. The building to my left is aged and made ouit of mood as well and has a creepy, haunted vibe to it. The small entryway to the left is glowing with a reddish orange hue emanating from a window. I decide not to go that tway. Behind the wooden cathedral is a dense forest, and I feel that would be an interesting area to explore I begin flying upward, however the dream is restricting me somewhat. I fight against the restriction, and see platforms above the second story offshoot of the cathedral. I slowly rise, yet wake up.

2. Djinn (LD)
I'm lucid as a dream begins to form in the blackness. I sense that a large window is in front of me, however I still feel as though I'm aware of my waking body and don't want to interrupt the lucid my moving too soon. I feel that I could lose the dream, but a burst of motivation to enter comes over me. I slowly begin moving my dream body, and a scene suddenly forms in bright vivid color. I'm in a large square room with many different cabinets in the periphery, several book shelves, and some items on top of the shelves against the wall. It appears to be a study of sorts, and much of the furniture is made of wood. It's a very pretty house overall. I make my way through this area into the next room to my right. The room is very narrow and rectangular with a window containing a view to the yard beyond. The wall is filled with a shallow bookshelf, with many items distributed on the surface. I make my way down the narrow room and exit through an opening into the yard. There is quite a bit of foliage beyond and several plants as well as a barbeque toward the edge of a concrete area. I chain link fence sits beyond this as well. I think of several dream goals, and remember conjuring ice. I turn my palm upward and imagine a large shard of ice. As I visualize, I see a very faint image, yet nothing materializes fully. I try hurling a fireball into the corner of the yard, yet nothing happens. I turn to my right and begin thinking about Djinn transformation. I take a few steps, yet the dream fades to darkness. In the void I imagine a thunderbolt coming down and my body growing, limbs beginning to grow in blue. The whole scene is very faint and I begin losing lucidity.

W2: Baby Decompression
DO indoors hospital treatment room. A baby has suffered a compressive neck injury, and is placed in a vertically seated decompression device. The baby is held in place and cannot move during the procedure. The baby seems happy at first. Then the decompression device begins to work, and stretches the baby to about 2x its normal height. The expression on the face of the baby moves to abject horror as it unexpectedly experiences excruciating pain. It is completely helpless to affect what is happening to him.

W2: Water Level
Tires

Outdoors, standing on some sort of boat (?) in a locks. I'm looking forwards, facing the side of the lock, and looking up. Along the edge there in a long line I see several rows (length-wise, one after the other) of old tires or buoys that look very rotten. They appear to have been under water for a long time, then the water level dropped, making them visible.

Bridge

My position on the locks has changed. I've moved to the end, on a bridge overlooking the whole thing.

Pool

I'm standing on the deck of a public swimming pool. This pool is in another state and so the laws are different and the water is a different color. It is not white, it is clear transparent. There is a staff member/lifeguard there talking about it (?). I think that in other pools, the water is blue.

Flower pot

There is a flower pot there on the pool deck. Something happens with it, there is a bet I make with someone else about it

Coins

I've paying out money for the debt about (the flower pot?). I'm counting out either 6 or 16 <foreign currency>, dropping the coins on the ground (?)

W2: Truck
I'm behind a (white?) pickup truck with vertical ladders on it mounted on its very back section, we're stopped at a stop light. There's a station wagon to the right of the truck, and a kid comes out of the wagon, it's the son(?) of the driver of the truck. The truck driver still has to work, but the son gets on to the ladder on the right back section of the truck. There is a band that moves vertically along the ladder, and as it reaches the boy and moves down over his face and body, it compresses his face and contorts it into strange shapes as it moves over his face. The the boy's mom is on the left ladder, and the movable band comes down over her face and her eyes bulge out in cartoon manner, and distorts as the band moves up and down over her face.

W2 Fragments
Doctor

Somebody (inside a a building? A parent or a doctor?) is saying that somebody else should be a doctor

Baby Dream

I'm telling about the Baby Decompression dream to somebody

W2/3: Communion
In a church the communion services is going on, there are people lining up, there is a table/altar/desk of drawers. I'm holding a card of some sort (with an image on it?), and I ask the priest (a woman) if this is OK to have with me, she says no. So I put it in a drawer of the table, then I take my place withe the others and (take communion?)

W2/3: Laundry Room
In a (basement?) area of a building, indoors, it's a laundry room. I see someone with a large laundry cart (looks like a plastic garbage can like the kind with a lid that can be rolled), and I think I want to get one of these to bring my laundry down to the room, too. There is a towel guy in the room (I talk to him?), I'm trying to find the elevator so that I can use it to get the laundry cart down to the room.

W4: Sidewalk
Outdoors/city/sidewalk/daylight I'm walking on a city sidewalk near the curb, there is a group of mixed kids of different ages and adults walking the other direction. As we meet they continue past me I'm walking in the middle of them and they're rubbing up against my arms as we pass each other.

W4: Cosmetics
Indoors, dark/twilight lighting, In a department store? There are sinks and mirrors and rows of cabinets. I'm thinking that a certain cosmetic brand has reduced its produce line for kids: now there is only one model of each product for each sex. I'm at a sink, trying out the soap.

W4: Mob meeting
Meeting at night in a deserted area of a city, near a large building with a covered parking area, with mobsters [DS? Appearing a lot recently]

W4: Contraband
Backpack

I'm forced to take a stash of contraband. I want to refuse it, it's very dangerous, but they're going to check (our backpacks?) that we actually took it. I'm trying to close the zipper on the main upper large section of my old orange Boy Scout backpack. The guys who packed it stuffed it too full. The left-side zipper is broken and won't close the compartment at first, but I run it backwards for a bit then forwards again, then it properly zips. I heft the backpack on my back to feel how heavy it is. I tighten the shoulder straps by pulling down on the adjustment straps on each side's shoulder strap. Then I think about putting on the hip belt, to help keep a portion of the weight off of my shoulders. It feels comfortable on my back.

Trying to ditch it

I'm taking out all the contraband and stuffing it into a garbage bag, preparing to ditch it or burn it somewhere. There are little microfilms that keep sticking to my hand and falling back to the ground. I have the thought "you don't want to get caught with this sort of contraband, they [the prisoners] will kill you in prison by very painful torture"

1. Iced Coffee (LD)
I'm in an outdoor area near a large concrete wall with an alcove area. I'm thinking of my previous dream and how I should have gotten lucid. I hope I still have enough time to get lucid for the night. I suddenly realize I'm dreaming! I fly up a bit to the top portion of a concrete ledge set into the alcove. I float back down onto the ground level and begin thinking about what I want to focus on. I remember that I wanted to focus on something simple, yet that will help play around with stabilizing as well as scoring points in competition. I imagine a hot cocoa on the ground behind me. It's not there when I turn around, so I head a bit further in the bright morning sun. The area is fully paved with cream colored concrete and extends far to the left, and has a small area hidden away behind a wall to my right. I imagine some cocoa would be there, and as I turn there's a small drink area. I begin searching for cups, yet only see lids. I imagine that I'll find a cup when I reach into the pile and one appears in my hand. I put it under one of the drink dispensers, and dark liquid starts coming out. I turn around and go to taste it, however it tastes like iced coffee - not bad actually. I continue to head forward and the scene transitions directly into an outdoor mall area. I see escalators in front of me heading to an upstairs area, yet there are stores on the lower level as well. A young female with light skin and long blonde hair quickly and eagerly approaches trying to flirt with me and show interest. My waking memory kicks in and I turn her down ignoring her, telling her I'm married. I continue to glide up the elevators and I'm soon on the upstairs level. I think back to several dream goals a consider which to pursue. I think of multiplying, but there's nothing in the immediate area. The girl continues to follow me throughout the whole scene, speaking loudly and trying to get my attention, begging me to interact with her. I keep simply ignoring her, telling myself mentally that it's not H, although it would be a good idea to find her in the dream. I move on to my next goal: finding my dream guide. I wonder how I'm going to approach this as I turn to my right to an opening in the wall, granting a view to the large room to my right with vaulted ceilings. There are many people inside, many of which appear to be dancing. I'm thinking about how I'm going to find my dream guide, and am getting ready to shout out for him or her. I begin to glide down, but as I reach the bottom, I wake up.

Summary of the Night

• BT: ~23:57, OOB: ~07:34, fitbit score: 80 (6:49 asleep, 0:54 awake, 1:19 deep, 1:41 REM), 200mg L-theanine, 510mg GABA, 50mg apigenin
• Wakings:
  
  1. 01:55 [fb] b/r, no recall
  2. 05:23 [fb], b/r, recall, Failed BTS. Got very relaxed. Several "involuntary breaths". Did MILD on recalled dreams, some relaxing SSILD. At this waking, need to immediately "surrender," "let go," and "pretend I'm asleep". No TYoDaS visualizations for now, too stimulating. Just need to get back to sleep ASAP. Lost my best dreaming cycle, although W2 was actually quite decent compared to recently. L-theanine + GABA may make for better
  3. 07:34 OOB

W2: Billiard [DS] Performance
Outdoors, dark/twilight, some wide open space. A performance troupe is putting on a life-sized replay of a world famous billiards match. The actors are encased in person-sized billiard ball costumes and roll around and can bounce off other "ball" actors. Most of the balls are red, I'm looking for other colors. I may see a white. The balls are not perfectly spherical, more egg shaped. There is a strange structure with something suspended from up high, an object (ball actor?) is "shot" suddenly upwards and there is a sharp THWACK or ringing bell sound when it hits what I imagine to be a (slate?) horizontal plate.

W2: Instrument Performance [DS]: Mozart Concerto
Several scenes with me unpacking and assembling my instrument. I can't find a place to put my case and to balance my inst. while doing this. I don't want to do this on the floor. I need to soak my mouthpiece. There are a couple additional players: both female. I hear them playing, one of them is reputed to be quite good, she sounds OK. I see the sheet music for the Mozart concerto?

W2: Mob Bicycle
There is a group of "mobsters" (?), and a very strange "bicycle" made out of a rectangle of metal tubes (about 2-inch diameter). It is large, about 1 meter high, and two meters long. It has a strange "gear shift" device about 2/3 of the way along the top bar that is like a horizontal combination lock of separately spinning wheels. There are no wheels that I see. I'm trying to get (my son S2?) to ride it. I'm pushing it down a hallway(?) it doesn't seem to roll very well. I'm twisting the "gear/lock" mechanism with both hands.

W2: Green Guys
Big group of people indoors. There is a long counter. A group of (four?) identical looking guys, short, wearing green shirts, approach the counter, and begin to sing(?). My son is watching with me(?)

W2: Problematic Audience
Inside a lecture hall, I'm standing at the stage/front. The hall is filled with wide tables, like in a convention auditorium. Everything is on one level. There are people seated all along these tables, there are about 5-6 rows of tables and the tables run the width of the room. There's a person seated every couple of feet. I'm thinking about the people there, I see their faces. They all look older/retired. One guy in particular, to the left and in the 2nd row, I think is a known trouble maker. He's looking at me. He has gray hair. He has a sort of mischievous expression. I know that he likes to ask the speaker very challenging questions, to try to throw the speaker off his rhythm.
