I'm standing outside of a huge gold and white castle. The front doors alone are bigger than anything I've ever seen, though I feel familiar with it as if I've lived here my whole life. Inside, the first room is grand, empty, and shiny. To the left, the castle blends in with the dirty outside streetscape; markets, classrooms, and living quarters become one with the castle, as though it had been abandoned and is now being repurposed. I have fleeting memories of sleeping in bunkers below the castle or walking outside in the snow, seeing the castle's golden spires in the distance, meaning this is most likely what I know as home.
Venturing deeper into the castle's grand halls, I come across a small, empty room, with a hole in the ground. I walk over to the hole and see it's filled with water, though I'm not sure how deep it is. I see my reflection, some sort of white, featureless creature wearing blue robes.

The next day, I go to the market. I squeeze past overgrown shrubbery to get to the old stone staircase that leads to the produce stalls. At one of the stalls is an old owl-like creature wearing long brown rags and a broad-brimmed hat. He has his wrinkly talon hands resting on the table in front of him, which is littered with shiny trinkets, fresh vegetables, and other goods. I walk up to him and begin to barter for a handful of carrots or some other carrot-y-looking food, and after a while of arguing I give him some coins and he fills my bag. I take off down the very narrow street, bustling with life, and go up into a sheltered area. The first room I pass through is a kindergarten classroom, where I stop to watch for a moment. 3 tiger creatures are arguing in Mandarin, all wearing quite nice clothes. One has a baby on her lap, and I assume the other two are also mothers of some of the smaller creatures I see sitting at the back of the class. I continue going through other rooms, though I can't remember much after this.
I end up back at the well in the ground. I toss one of the carrots in. After a moment, I hear a deep rumbling coming from within the well, and water splashes up out of it. I return to the bunkers for the night.

I wake up in complete darkness, floating aimlessly, quickly realising I'm underwater. I start panicking, certain I'm going to drown here. Then a light appears above me, and I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look up and see a glowing boy with white hair, a white shirt, and a very long tail, and he's smiling at me. We're talking like we've met before, though I can't remember much of this part, other than I'm slowly floating up and I have faint flashes of some kind of scripture in my mind. It feels like whatever's happening is very important. I start reciting something and I suddenly understand why I'm in the well (of course, can't remember that either). As I get closer to the top of this body of water, the boy's tail begins to curl around me as it gets thinner and thinner, until I've reached the end of his tail. Then it splits in half, and he runs the inside of his tail along my face as a sort of goodbye. I reach the top and am blinded by light, I feel completely at peace.
And then I woke up.


This was such a cool dream, I wish I could remember more of it!

This day I had 2 dream:

DF #1
I was playing in team fortress 2 but I don't remember what class I chosen. It was capture the flag mode. I sneak into enemy base and I saw that almost every player is playing as a soldier. I captured the flag but the flag looked like pink crystal bowl.

NLD #1
It was night, I was going back to home on my bicycle. I pased small river via bridge (but in real life the drainage ditch is in that place). Friend of mine (I don't know her in real life) called me so I stopped and looked around. I saw her swimming in the river. She come to me to say hello. An unknown person come to us and he started abuse her. I picked a fight with him so my friend can escape into block of flats. The man run after her and I run after him. I catch him on last floor so my friend can run away.
We were out of bulding. I pick up my firend on my motorcycle (yea my dream replace my bicycle) so We can go to gas station and ask cashier to call the police. But it was a ambush! The cashier was with attacker!

DF #1
I was typing with my friend on discord.

NLD #1
I was on vessel inside my cabine. It was daytime, weather good (no rain, no wind, sea state normal etc). I looked via my porthole on deck and I saw that we are approaching to berth and 2-3 seafarers were preparing for maneuverings. I was suprised that nobody called me for the maneuvering but I just shrug my shoulder saying "If nobody called me that mean I'm unnesessery". But I saw that we are going very fast. Too fast for berth approaching... I was trying to keep myself calm but shore was more and more close... There is no other option - I need to get ready.
I don't remember what happened after, but our vessel was moored. I was on deck talking with seafarers
-What is going on? Where is my old crew? The ukrainian ones?
-They were replaced. Cargo owner asked for only polish crew
-All of them are going to home?
-Indeed
-And what about me? I'm from old crew
-You are staying onboard. You are polishman after all
-Oh, Okay. And what cargo are we loadning?
-Some laptops and PC
-Entire bulk carrier for IT toys? Are you insane?
-Not entire ship. We are transfering only 4 pieces
-This is even more ridiculous!
-Don't tell me. Cargo owner payed and we are in charter - He shrugged
I checked the cargo, and I went to the city wondering how peacefully voyage we will have.

DF #2
In this dream I was on vessel on middle of paccific ocean. Daytime, good weather condition.

Created Friday 12 January 2024


Got one LD today. Seems my schedule's been made a bit tighter than I anticipated. I'll keep making an effort whenever possible.

Dream 1 - DV Lucid Dream Winder Competition 2024 - Night 6

Many forgotten scenes before this one. The visuals were mostly clear. I was floating in space. To my right was a blue Earth-like planet, white clouds swirling over its sole continent.

By this point, I'd gained awareness. I rocket to the nearby world. Piercing the stratosphere, I see below a vast badlands of smooth beige metamorphic stone. Oddly, the blue sky looked sparsely cloudy from then on.

Anyway, after many quick miles of travel, I arrive at the foot of a truly vast castle atop a mountain range, its construction slate grey. I went over the outer walls, and levitated into a great keep that occupied most of the site. The interior was dimly lit, and furnished/constructed mostly of glossy wood.

At a building-sized table a distance away, a huge figure awaited: a gigantic woman, easily 100ft tall, skin light, long dark hair frayed. She was dressed in a violet robe. Her face beamed into a welcoming grin, belied only by a glint of madness in her saucer-shaped eyes. It was no surprise when she made a fierce swipe at me. I weaved around her hand and wrist, and swooped around her head. Then, I flung myself like a dart at her nape. My knee struck true. In that instant, the giant witch crumples over on the table, unconscious. Mission accomplished, I thought.

I fly out of the castle and hurtle back into space. I realize then that maybe I didn't accomplish a competition goal, as my opponent wasn't explicitly a titan. Sighing in dismay, I find it was too late to do much else, for the dream begins to fade. I go unconscious.

I'm Mary Poppins Ya'll:
I'm in an outdoor space, a large field. There are several long banquet tables extending out into the distance.
Between some of the tables, there is a man demonstrating a flying device.
It's an umbrella that allows free-flight.
...
Later I'm seated near the head of one of the tables with my coworker C and my friend H from the Tots.
I'm got the umbrella and I've taken off. High into the sky.
I feel uneasy knowing that the only thing keeping me from certain death is my grip on the handle.
But I get more comfortable with it over time, taking more and more risky angles by maneuvering the handle.
I go out of my way to make sure that the other attendees at the party can see me by gliding close to the other tables.
Eventually I return to my table. As I approach, C, challenges me to land the tip of the handle on a small plate.
I achieve that and return to my seat.
...
I wake up somewhere that I don't recognize. My Mom comes into the room from a door in front of me.
I tell her all about my flying umbrella dream.
There's a CPAP machine next to me, and she is wanting the pipe part off of it.
This device is somehow now identified as the one that will allow free-flight.
I give it up freely, knowing that I have another one I can use.



Showing off my new flying umbrella. Made with ChatGPT 4.

I am having a very disorganized NLD, constantly shifting through plots and locations. I am in an OTD parking lot. It is a fairground with a small white ferris wheel and some other tents and smaller rides set up. There are workers either tearing down or setting up the rides but at the same time there are at least a few people hanging around the fairground.

I see a creepy guy with a knife following me and nobody seems to notice him so I sneak away from the fair to get away from the stalker. I get to an empty part of the parking lot where there are orange construction barrels and yellow tape set up around several large potholes and think that workers will be trying to resurface the parking lot. I try to call either my parents or the police, but my phone is not working. I ask one of the construction workers to help. He yells at the stalker and says he will run him over with a steamroller if he doesn't f off right now.

I become properly lucid and the dream scene changes. Its a location that feels close by sort of like a shopping mall but you head down the gallery one way and its just left open to a beach, but the dream is still pretty sloppy. I investigate my dream form to try to stabilize. I feel like I’m a bit taller than normal but otherwise everything seems normal.

I decide I want to carry out the dream goal of sparring with monkey’s DG, Juliana. Its something he wanted to try, and I decided to try it and see what would happen.

“Dream, its time to spar with Juliana”

She comes out of a side utility door in the mall. Fairly standard appearance, though she has the pixie cut hair my visualization seems to have locked in on to. I take a fighting stance thinking about how this modified form feels extra tall and lanky right now and that’s probably not ideal for fighting. But being lucid I’m more curious and open to the experience rather than just wanting to win.

“Are you ready for our sparring match?” I ask.

“Yes.” She says, taking off her witches hat and top. She is wearing black sexy underwear underneath and tries to kiss me.

“What are you doing? This is hella inappropriate!” I say. I reach into hammerspace for my horny bonk stick. It comes out as a big extra long roll of newspaper this time and I hit her on the head. She looks up and it frowns and says “DARN IT!” Playfully.

“Sorry I get +27 saving throw against seduction checks and I roll at advantage when lucid.”

The dream does an anime visual gag where everything goes black and its just a white drawing of Juliana screaming in a deep male voice “PLUS 27?! NANI?!” Then goes back to normal.

I notice when she walks away she was holding her wand behind her back with some spell charged up, but it fades away. The tip is glowing with some golden white magic energy. She goes over and sits on a bench, pouting like a child. Though I get the vibe she's just playing around.

OML do i have to draw this now? Idk if monkey is ok with that.

I lose lucidity and go to a school dream. I’m on the second story of classroom in B hall. There are just a few other students in here and one of them is drawing a comic strip. Its fairly well done, though IDR the plot at all. The dream figure has written a comic about him and his for friends, its drawn with colored pencil and ink pen. One of the strips is just a hand-drawn version of that one internet meme comic strip about the guy running into the hospital and the girl who lost her baby. (IDK what that comic strip actually is)

A teacher comes in and yells at him. She says the comic only has four straight white male characters and needs more diverse casting and says he is getting saturn-day detention. The boy sighs relief because saturn-day only happens when the planet saturn is directly in alignment with earth and the sun so the teacher will probably forget.

…

Theres another dream where I am driving. My father is in the passenger seat and someone else in the back behind me. I am on the main road north of my town and a cop starts following me with sirens on. I pull over into a driveway and the cop gets out. He says to me.

“You didn’t do anything wrong but your car looks like a piece of crap make sure you get a new one soon I don’t want it to break down and you to get hurt or stuck somewhere.”

I was dreaming that I was at some gathering, and this black fashion dude who vaguely resembles this dancer-model I know got this purple streetwear outfit in the mail which he showed to me, the white and purple patterns suiting him.

It might have been a house party or something where we were, but for whatever reason my mom showed up. When I saw her, I randomly pulled out my customer service voice asking her if she needed anything, pretending not to know who she was and we went to a different room where I talked about how embarrassed I was that she was there, bringing up this random memory from when she took me to her friend's daughter's birthday party in 2009 and I just sat there crying because I didn't want to be there.

She then left and I sat by myself, contemplating what just happened, and started crying, my mom then appeared again to comfort me. I apologised and told her I feel bad about moving to a different country sometimes because I'm so far away from everyone.

Then I woke up.
I miss my family and my mom

Fragment 1: Plants

Looking at some leaves. There are some vines growing too. They seem to be growing quickly. Then there is something where I’m looking at “goldenrod” – a plant with little yellow flowers on it (although the leaves look more like ragweed). There is a patch where many of these are growing...



Fragment 2: Quiz

Taking a quiz or exam. Something about the questions and/or grades...

Fragment 3: Empty Apartment

Looking inside an apparently empty apartment. It is, in my dream, the apartment where I used to live. I have been walking around in the neighboring apartment, but think it might be nice to look into my old apartment.

Winter Competition Night 6

Another strange one...

Fragment: I'm with my friends in the hallway, but for some reason we're not allowed to go downstairs. Or rather, I'm not. My parents are watching TV in the lounge. We whisper to one another figuring out a way to sneak down there without them hearing. Our plan is that I walk down the stairs (they creak) between two of my friends stepping in time to them, so our footsteps can't be told apart.. Then I've got a different idea. I hug the banister and slide down it, touching my feet to the steps very lightly here and there to make no noise. I make it to the bottom quickly and my friends are impressed at my idea.

Morning fragment: Am downstairs. Some vague thoughts about the three layers of languages on the fridge (??) and the power of advanced French.

Winter Competition Night 5

Ugh nothing but weird fragments these past couple days. At least it's something, I suppose.

Fragment: At home (in an unfamiliar flat) I read a letter from my boss at work. Or is it an email? She says they were told by the internet company that I watched too much pornography at work this month. She writes this is inappropriate behaviour which does not fit with the image of the company's ideal employee and I am fired. I suppose anyone would be fired for that. I feel a horrible sinking feeling reading the letter.

My flat seems to be just a single room - since there is a letterbox on the door. I have a narrow desk with a computer and office chair, a single bed with red or blue covers, and hardwood floor. The window has cheap metal Venetian blinds and seems to be frosted glass. It's dark outside.

I have never watched porn and found this a bit unsettling.

Went to bed at 10PM - attempt START 11:24 PM. FAILED.

Missed Signals:
I'm in a backyard and I see a group of balloons floating low in the sky.
I think this is strange, and that I should probably do an RC, but I don't.
Instead, I think about what I would do if I were lucid.
There's a small pool nearby to my left, with an instructor sitting in a high-chair.
She is teaching people how to dive. I approach the pool.
I get the impression that the diving is a sort of lucid dreaming skill test.
I don't know how to dive, and I screw it up.
I'm definitely too big for this pool.
...
Later I'm walking around the yard, which has changed into more of a park.
I have the understanding that this is the Dreamviews community, where only members can live.

I was in a slightly ugly dentist's room (the room was ugly, not the dentist) and I was sitting in the chair. She looked at my teeth for like 2 seconds, and then made me breathe on a coin I didn't get a good look at.

I was in my grandparents yard, my aunt is leading me to her house even though they're right next door. I walk down some stairs and enter the room I will be staying in. It looks like my garage, my favorite cousin who we'll call Laxative was sleeping in a kennel just big enough for her. I was disappointed that I couldn't fit, I walked past her, and saw my unimportant cousin sleeping on a large mattress on the floor. I climbed in bed, he said something, and I rolled over so we were back to back. I was going to steal his blankets, but I was pretty toasty already, so I slept without them. I open my eyes to Laxative standing over me.I followed her out the door. We climbed up the stairs and were making our way to the grandparents.

I become lucid, though I don't remember being highly lucid nor do I remember how. I brought Madmonkey into the dream. I don't see him as hes mostly behind me. We are in a meadow on Woue, looking at a large storm. This is like some equivalent to tornado alley, a large open plains. The storm cloud seems to be rolling itself, like a small hurricane flipped on its side, and quite vividly rendered. In one period the ground is just the black/dark purple color of the vegetation, in others its actually gold like a wheat field with these strange plants that grow "fat bulbs" containing lipids and oil and can start on fire from lightning strikes. (For the drawing I compromised and made it black with golden bulbs/flowers.)



We fly up into low orbit together and look at the storm from high above. Marcus is there (orb robot form) and explains how due to thicker atmosphere the planet has a 'double troposphere'. This leads to these strange storms with rolling convection cells. It's sort of where air gets twisted up and starts convecting, rolling over itself like a sideways tornado. This is the only time I get a good look at Madmonkey who looks like how hes described his DS on many occasions. He says with telepathy "Lets fly back down and do our dream goals!" and then shoots off back towards the surface like superman going mach speed.

We fly back down and land in a forested area, but I think I arrived back on boring old earth. I lose lucidity and am by the side of the road. A power line comes down and I am trying to get around the sparking wires.

Went to sleep around midnight and woke up at 4:30am for WBTB. I then drank some sage tea because I recently learned it's has some potential acetylcholine boosting effects. I attempted to go back to sleep at 5:20am but had some trouble, maybe from the sage.

Dream 1

I’m a guest at someone’s house, there’s a man and a woman that sort of represent Booky’s parents but also Zoë’s at the same time. Weppy may have been here too.

There’s about five of us, we go snowboarding/skiing. At the bottom of the run we arrive at the house of the hybrid parents.

It was a pretty nice cabin, but one part of it was not very furnished. This part felt like a hotel or something. There was one wall that was sort of unfinished.

On the unfinished wall there were five water fountains, the kind you would see at a school or something. They went from small to large except the largest one was only a foot off the ground and the smallest was mere inches from the ground. I pointed out how weird this was to someone.


Then we all went on a walk, there were two identical twin sisters walking in front of me.

Dream 2

Tami and I go to Penny’s and move some furniture around for some event we had planned to do there. Then when we leave Tami puts the furniture back but in a slightly different/better position than before. Penny is being really strange and mean towards Tami so I decide we’re going to leave.

When leaving outside there’s some sort of tour bus that we have to use to leave. When the door opens we see that there are only two seats left and Penny had Ryan tasked with blocking them so we couldn’t go.

Some sort of standoff ensues.

Fragment:
I'm in a hotel with two levels.
My Dad and my Uncle J are there with me.
My Uncle is looking at something on Google Maps.
One of them has thrown a cigarette bud into a trash can.
I'm concerned this will cause a fire.

Return to the Hilltop Arcade:
My friends G and A are sitting on a bench, watching the sunset.
It's my birthday, and there is a cake-like pastry sliced into four parts.
There is a Dave and Buster's like arcade behind the bench.
This arcade is the one from my previous dream in September, where I met Arin Hanson.
...
The space has changed into a big factory. Intuitively I know that the working conditions are bad.
I'm escaping in a sequence similar to the one in the game Portal.
There's a monologue at the end that sounds hopeful.

Into the Square:
I'm riding a CATA bus from college, but I don't know where I am going.
I realize that I should pull the string to get off on the next stop and I find it on my right.
There's a building nearby and I go in, thinking I would like to buy a t-shirt.
Inside it looks like a mailroom, with a small square entryway in the center of the wall in front of me.
...
I'm through the square hole now and I see my coworker J getting makeup done by a team on my left.
He's sitting down in a chair in front of some lockers.
It looks like a large locker room.
My friend H from the Tots comes through the square hole, but she is mad at me.
Somehow I have messed up the entryway, and she pulls out a banana peel from it.

Dream 1: Flea Market Carnival

Mom and/or Dad and I are at a flea market/carnival type place. The flea market part seems to be indoors, and out back there are rides and games. I think it started out with Mom and I stopping in here for some reason. We had been heading to a business to the south. We went up a road that climbed up a hill, and Mom was telling me that we had been there before. But I don’t remember it. She thinks maybe I wasn’t with her when she went there before. We stop in to the business, and while we are there I decide to look around. The store is owned by someone that we used to know. Mom comes with me as I look around. There is an aisle of candy. We keep walking around, and now I think it is Dad that is with me and not Mom. The store is set up so that there are two bays, or wings. We walk down one, and go outside. The carnival is out there. There is a carousel. One of the songs it is playing is “And the Band Played On”. I sing along, but as I start singing the music stops playing.

Dad wants to join a race, I think. We walk around to the back of the building, where you are supposed to be able to sign up for the race. But in order to run, you need special shoes, and they don’t have enough pairs. While we are here, I think Dad realizes that there is the other side to the store. I tell him I’m going to go in and check it out. I go in and look around, but this side seems to be mostly furniture. It’s one of those places with labyrinth-like rooms. I walk around a bit and decide to come back after not seeing much interesting stuff. But I’m a bit concerned I won’t be able to find my way back out. I find a room that I came through...

At some point there is a canal inside the store, I think. On this canal is a sailboat. There are people on this sailboat who seem to be running from someone. It is discovered that they are on this boat, so they sail down the canal for a bit to try to escape. Then they jump out and roll down a hill, I think. There is a scene in which calculations are being made involving how far they roll down the hill and how that relates to how visible they are. At this point, the “people” are also Santa Claus hats, and I’m tossing them down the hill. One of them is about to make it to an area of tall weeds, where they might be able to escape...

At some point, it seems that I was back with my Dad (or someone else) at the race area. We were moving on from the foot race, and we see that there is a dog race taking place. It is all puppies, I think. My friend M—is officiating.

It seems like there were gravestones, or monuments of some sort inside the store (unless this was a different dream). There is something about a ring on a string. Some kids are doing something with this. Anyway, we follow the string, and it goes down through a register vent. It apparently leads to this place with gravestones (or so my notes say). My brother and I are doing something with these, I think. There is something about how “everyone takes care of their own pet”. There are pets associated with the gravestones, suggesting that there is more to these monuments than meets the eye. I get down on my hands and knees and start investigating...




Fragment 1: Sewage

Something about sewage being drained into a pond down a hill a little bit from a house. This is against a regulation or something, and they have to stop draining the sewage there. People are unhappy about this, but I point out that draining raw sewage into a pond is unhealthy. I mention that it might have been better if it were a creek with flowing water.

Looking for tea, or plants to use for tea. This might have been on the hillside above the pond where the sewage was being drained.

Fragment 2: A Bit Lost

Walking back to my grandparents’ former house from somewhere. It’s one of those situations where I am far away but on foot for some reason. I also don’t seem to know how to get back. But I have a GPS, and I bring up the map. I look for a way to get to a major road. At some point I’m driving again. I think there are people supposed to be following me. I pull over and wait for them to catch up, but they don’t. I get annoyed, thinking it was discourteous of them. Then I’m not sure if they were behind me or in front of me.

Fragment 2: Kid and Dog

There is a knock at the door. I look out, and there is a kid standing there. I think his mother is standing behind him. When I open the door, he says something like “can you please watch your dog more carefully?” It is explained that a dog apparently bit him, or something. He thinks it was our dog. He points out our dog. As we talk, I get the idea that he was messing with the dog, and the dog either defended itself or was playing. I get annoyed with the kid’s attitude and say something about how people who mess with other people’s dogs deserve to be bit. I even say something like “they even deserve to be put into the hospital”!

Fragment 3: Looking for a Pencil Sharpener

In the lab. I need a pencil to write something down, but my pencil is dull. I go to the lab next door to see if they have a pencil sharpener. They do indeed, but while I’m there I realize that I have one in my pocket.

Fragment 4: Final Episodes

I decide to watch the last two episodes of Andromeda (which might also be Blakes 7 in this dream). The final episodes seem to go back to an original cast that was in the pilot episode. I might be watching this on a huge screen

Fragment 5: Holograms

Someone is showing off these sheets of plastic that have those holograms on them – the ones where as you tilt the surface you see a different picture. This one is fancy, in that you see more than two pictures as you tilt the surface.
