4:00am dreams not recalled But one word was remembered: National

D#1 = 6:24AM: - A beautiful large Blue hummingbird arrived early. Although I didn’t see snow in the dream, it felt like it was still winter and too early for the hummingbirds to come back. I was looking out a window at a marsh area which had some very tall dried reeds or stalks with dried pods at the top. Not even a flower blooming, but this hummingbird went to the pod and acted as if it was getting some nectar. I knew it was a marsh/wetland area because I had the thought in the dream that I would need to go take care of those plants and would need to wear my galoshes.

D#2 = 6:26AM: - I had a dream about walking down a paved path. And there was the cutest little dog, it was small but not really a puppy. It was a reddish auburn colored dog and it seemed so friendly and let me pet them as it layed down in a submissive way; and really seemed happy and wanted to walk with me. I had wondered if there was a leash around because a little further up in the direction I was heading was a busier road and I wanted to make sure it wouldn’t run out into the road when we got there.

D#3 = 6:26AM: - Stuck in the middle with them - I was in bed with two DC’s. One male and the other female. I was in between them; stuck in the middle. The two of them seemed to want to fool around with each other, and kept reaching around me to each other, so I decided to do the right thing; I left them and got out of the bed and went to another room so they could do their thing.

D#4 = 6:30AM: - I was standing next to a smallish lake and we were watching the top of the water. The water seemed to be changing in one spot like something was going on under the water in that spot. Then suddenly the water just drained, and disappeared leaving all these beautiful rocks exposed. There were a few kids that started to walk down and look at the rocks, but just as quick as it got sucked out, the water started coming back and filled back up. The kids had to quickly run back to the top edge of the lake. People were getting so excited when it went low and exposed the rocks. This happened several times. I had enough time to get my phone camera out and start a video recording of it, when one of my friends, went down and started hunting for rocks while the water had completely drained. I was telling her that she needed to hurry up as the water level had already started to rise again but she wasn't listening to me at first. She just kept looking at the rocks. In the end the water this last time didn’t rise as fast as it had before and she was able to get out before the water filled back in.

Dream #: 1,825-01.

1 minute and 50 seconds to read.

Requires reading and understanding: MAPPED DREAM “Run from the Brontosaurus” in the first part of this report.

This dream is one of many from childhood that I still cherish, regardless of its usual predictable causality factors. I still view this dream as hilarious on one level.

While hand mobility and somatosensory response (often with summoning and handling coins) have occurred regularly in dreams since childhood, foot mobility with a somatosensory response in the bottoms of my feet is uncommon, though I also use my hands in this case - and it is still predictably tied to leg mobility as most outcomes in this mode.

The curious event here involves falling and breaking a window by landing on it from a reasonable height but remaining in the dream state. Although horizontal, it ties to using a door as a dream’s deliberate exit point. While my intent to exit is ongoing, it triggers an offset somatosensory dream segment instead. I had, however, deliberately jumped from a bridge to leave the dream state, expecting, if remaining in the dream, to land in the water, as with similar instances. That is what I find hilarious.

“Doubling” is a viable term for this dream sequence because I am still in the dream state for an additional vivid segment, and it combines two dream-exiting methods I have often used.

What caused this particular shifting response (rather than waking me up)? My guess is because of the lack of myoclonus in this case. (Even so, there have been more recent dreams where I remained in the dream state after feeling “the drop.”) Myoclonus most often wakes me from the dream’s physical illusions (particularly leg myoclonus at the beginning of every sleep cycle). It shifted into a somatosensory response (glass in the bottoms of my feet) but still did not wake me. A typical hand-based somatosensory response as a catalyst is an animal nibbling my fingers.

Again, the lightning (an increasing synaptic energy analogy) striking the dinosaur and bringing it to life (waking it up) was also a transition representing precursory wakefulness, though, at that point, my dream also shifted into another segment (though with my deliberate intent in the first instance - because in childhood, I learned to hold myself in the dream state even when there is an imaginary threat and now have gotten much better at it - see “Heraldic Dragon Storm” from 2023 for example).

The unrealistic stop-motion effect (movie influence) has occurred in many other dreams. These days, “bad CGI” also occasionally “corrupts” dream narratives. Animated content superimposed over otherwise realistic scenes has also often occurred since childhood.

Saturday morning, 18 December 1971. Age 10.

Dream #: 1,825-01.

2 minutes and 30 seconds to read.

Scene 1:

I intuitively respond to the dream state by “leaving my bed” (imagined) before dawn and “walking with intent” through the Cubitis house’s dark carport - toward our backyard rabbit shed (a recurrent beginning for this mode of dreaming).

A brontosaurus in suspended animation is present. I cannot pass it. Its head and neck lie across the short concrete path that extends into our backyard from the east end of our carport, stopping at our shed’s entrance. I illogically conclude my father dug it up while working on the real-world addition to the building.

Lightning strikes the dinosaur’s head, and it comes to life as I watch its head rise above me.

Scene 1 Influence and Causality:

This part of the narrative came from the 1960 movie “Dinosaurus.” However, in that movie, the brontosaurus was friendly. My dream integrates the essence of the dinosaur from the 1959 redundantly titled movie “The Giant Behemoth” and borrows from it more than “Dinosaurus” from this point.

Lightning striking the dinosaur’s head to “wake it up” (as in the movie) is cast here because of an increase in my intuitive response to dreaming, that is, gaining more metacognition while still in the dream state. Therefore, the dinosaur is this dream’s sleep simulacrum. Sleep simulacra have featured regularly in my dreams since childhood. I habitually seek out and wake up sleep simulacra by habit to vivify and sustain the dream state. I stay in the dream state (by choice) and “run” from the dinosaur without real-world emotion. This event exemplifies my lifelong trait of anticipating wakefulness while dreaming, yet it results in virtually infinite unique and satisfying narratives.

Scene 2:

Even though I am on foot, I soon reach the El Jobean bridge in Port Charlotte, though it takes over 40 minutes by car in real-world time. It incorrectly looks more like London Bridge when I look back while walking south. The time now seems like late afternoon. I get impressions of “toy” cars the size of real-world cars, though I do not focus on them. I find the bridge imagery fascinating. The dinosaur, which moves slowly in the distance, may not reach me as the bridge might collapse. It may not even be aware of me. It moves with an unrealistic stop-motion effect, as in the movie.

Scene 3:

When reaching about two-thirds of the length of the bridge under a blue sky, I decide I will jump from it because I reason it may collapse anyway to bring an end to my dream. (Illusory bodily awareness and sense of weight are too realistic for flying in this instance.) Even so, I am still vaguely unjustifiably wary of what will happen if the animal reaches me before I wake.

I sit on the railing and cheerfully jump, expecting I will merely wake up - though I do not. Instead, I enter a more vivid offset dream.

I feel an impression of landing on my feet, but there is a loud staccato sound of breaking glass. There is a brief cool “pain” in my feet. I am now in the southwest area of my real-world school’s playground (in the early morning), standing on a four-paned window I broke by landing on it.

I sit down and cheerfully pull flat triangular pieces of glass from the bottom of my feet. There are about five pieces in each. There is no blood, and I am unconcerned.

Outcome Causality:

My deliberate jump to leave the dream state caused a quick transition of responses from my vestibular cortex with imaginary movement (and the regularly occurring leg mobility theme every sleep cycle), a predictable auditory event of the sound of breaking glass (that has continually happened throughout my life, and which otherwise breaks the illusion of dreaming in contrast to here), and my somatosensory response (which often follows my vestibular-motor response).

Today I memorised a lot of dreams! I thinkt it is my life record

Dream #1
I was in my childhood as kid and it was afternoon probably winter but without snow, sky probably cloudy (I think so because light was a little bit tinted). With my friends (2-3 additional persons I didn't count them) we were playing together but I don't remember what kind of play it was. We were playing near local general shop and the owner invited as for dinner and we accepted it. We waited few minutes so we spent this time on joking and laughting. She gave us fried pork chop with boiled potatos (traditional polish dish). I didn't feel a taste at all.

Dream #2
My dad bought new electrical car. It was black station wagon with unspecified car brand. He showed me inside of the car and after this he showed me electrical bike he got as a bonus to car. The bike had blue frame with black sign and trims. Model was crosscoutry or MBT. He made first test drive around our house estate. Also he showed me that this bike can climb on 45 degree hill we have near. Now its my tur for the test drive! I made the same route around housing estate and also I tried to climb on 45 degree hill. It was easy. In general driving with that bike was really fun and I loved that bike. I ask my dad if I can keep this bike for myself but he refused. After we talked about bike technical specification: Power consumption, battery cappacity, weight etc.

Dream #3
I was on beach in the night. Saw ancient chinese architecture with lights and alot of people far away. "It's not suppose to be like this. I'm not in China" I though. But I decide to went in this direction and I was savoring with beautiful traditional chinese view. The dream has changed. Now I'm prince. I saw my future wife on stairs and was waiting for me. I ran to her and she hugged me


Dream #4
I don't remember the beginning of this dream, but I "captured" ship with 2 other persons. It was about 200m long bulk carrier moored to shore. We unmoored the vessel and started to move. Another vessel showed ahead of us controlled by our enemies. They made collision course with us and we tried to avoid contact with them but we failed - enemy rammed us and damaged our hull and steering system. Captain ordered me to take emergency steering mode on. We rotate our ship by 180 degree and tried to flee but we hit quay and vessel was too damaged


Dream #5
I was in aquapark with friend. We were swim on deep swimming pool. He preferred to stay on water surface but I love diving so I spent almost entire dream underwater. When I emerged from water my friend asked me if it is possible to coming here everyday. I said "Yea, I can come here everyday for free, but I prefer come here every other day". He was a little sad but he said "That's fine".



Dream Fragment #1
My friend or superrior (I don't remember relation between us) made prank quest (quest like in video games) for somebody. The quest taker take that quest and after completing he was so angry at us so he casted meteorite on us. I don't remember details of this dream I thing what I remember is day time - it was night.

Sunday March 5th 2023
Oh come on, problem after problem!
I am home going to the bathroom, become lucid and… still take my time. Finish, wash my hands, teleport to another planet and end up falling from the sky again. Fly down quickly and land somewhere nearby to a town.
Don’t see much happening and the town is an ant town, no humans on this planet and the place looks wonderful, I like it. Teleport to various locations and enjoy nature some.
A volcano is about to erupt, so control the fire and make it settle down while liberating the energy onto the atmosphere before making it go dormant again, don’t want it to destroy anything. Do let the nutrients fill up the area as if it had erupted though, before waking up.
Back to sleep.
I am sitting on the bed, get up, become lucid and decide to teleport to another planet.
Again find myself in the sky, so fly down and then feel heavier than normal even for dream standards, apparently this planet is either very dense, or very big.
Check with Scan, the planet itself is very big, nearly Jupiter level, its exosphere is incredibly big and it’s so massive that there are moons in the atmosphere, which is impressive on its own!
Go around walking, some humans which don’t bother anyone so don’t plan on talking to them; find a few other creatures that are intelligent so fly from one mountain range to another and land next to some kind of giant insect civilization.
We talk telepathically some and the insect civilization tells me about this imminent danger to the whole planet coming from one of the moons.
Oh wow! We talk for a bit and they explain that humans started working with magical forces, this is why there are so few of their species as of right now. The magic they tried to use was dimensional magic that made one of the moons create alternate dimensions inside of it, and they are collapsing on each other as the dimensions are dying and taking energy from the dimension on top of the next one, and once the last one collapses, it will collapse everything including this planet.
I asked them if they know this, why they have not acted upon it? The insects tell me that they tried but the magic was created for humans, so other species get killed and transformed into energy unless they are strong enough to resist it; was about to ask why they are telling me this when one of the insects points at me and says “You are strong enough to resist it”, implying they don’t consider me human.
I agree to help them since this planet is super cool and want to see a bit more about it. They tell me that the dimensions normally would not be collapsing, but humans are stupid creatures and their magic was incomplete so now it is an issue until someone goes down to the deepest levels and manually fixes the issue.
They offer me some meat food that truthfully looks disgusting but is actually quite good, we continue talking for a bit and tell them that I will be gone for a bit and will come back to take care of the problem with the moon.
Back to sleep.
Am resting on top of some leaf bed. Get up and become lucid just to see some big insects come inside my room and ask me if I am ready.
I take the liquid they are giving me; it is a bit sour but good. Get out of the house and they take me to their elder. Ask the elder which moon has the issue and he says it will be here in a few months, given how long it takes the moon to travel around the planet so just mention to him not to worry and start flying before using Scan to find the moon I need in specific.
Once I find it, teleport to the place and am on top of the moon, it’s at cloud level and its super massive compared to the clouds, it’s like someone placed half the earth planet somewhere in the sky and let it float there to be found by someone.
Anyways I go down and find myself in an array of mountain ranges that have no life whatsoever, seems like I got to the wrong side, I am also pointing my head down towards the planet because when looking up see the ground. Start flying again and move quickly towards a place that has civilization, or human buildings since based on the information the insects gave me humans made the problem happen and it must be human buildings that are close to the dimensional rift.
I go over 1/4th of the moon I am on before finding a city with sky… well… tall buildings, since the sky is pretty much everywhere you look at.
Anyways get down to the building and get pointed at by guns, people shot at me so just stop their bullets mid-air with TK and force them down where I land at then tell the people I have come to help.
They tell me they don’t need my help so create a gravity barrier and force everyone down “You don’t have a choice” tell them, and start walking while using Scan.
In one of the big buildings that is now completely in ruins, there is the entrance! Start flying towards it and some woman starts screaming.
A young girl comes out and looks out a broken window on the building, she tries to point a gun at me so teleport it away and then keep flying towards the place.
Once I reach the location of the orb that has the entrance the woman from before, now free from my spell she has come up running as quickly as she can to protect the girl. I am just talking to her and asking what they are doing there.
The woman finds me talking to the girl, whom I find out is her daughter about them knowing the issue and trying to fix it, but being unable to do so. Apparently everyone who goes in is unable to come back, worse yet, when they created the place it was meant to be a training ground where time goes by differently, so they are expecting everyone inside to be dead by now since too much time would have gone by.
Albert, the husband of the woman may still be alive but an old man, they want to meet him again, tell them I can fix the issue if they allow me to go inside but they keep refusing, tell them I will go inside anyways since they do not have the power to stop me, and they agree.
They tell me a team of people will go with me, since they were planning to go in a week and ask me if I am ok with waiting… just tell them to do it right now if they want the planet to be saved. They bring the team, 1 girl and 2 guys whom obviously dislike me.
Get prepared to go in when I wake up.
Back to sleep.
I am on the ground, get up and dust my face while becoming lucid. Did they just… throw me down the building? Jump all the way back to the place and land next to the broken window, making a shockwave make everyone fall.
Since now I am pissed just go over to the orb, they start shooting me and I just receive the bullets but no damage, use TK and make the people that were selected to come with me forcefully come to where I am at, grab them by the collar and place my hand on the orb that is in the middle of the room.
It starts flashing in blue and purple light and the wife of Albert screams “Bring him back home” before everything turns white and I am on the ground AGAIN.
Get up and dust my clothes and see the other three people next to me, one is running towards some light, we are inside of a giant cave and there are some dim lights in the distance, some water close to us and sounds of people. The girl gets up and tries to fight me so place her down with gravity, the other guy just says he will guide me.
We walk towards the others, whom now have guns in hands and are preparing to attack me but see the other guy get in between us “Bullets do nothing” he says and the one who told them I am a menace confirms it.
They tell me that we need to go inside, so the rock that I was look at moves, or opens. It was just a door camouflaged to look like a rock and inside we go.
The place looks like a building inside of a cave, with lots of light bulbs and people coming and going, at least can count 200 of people around me.
The general comes over “Albert?” tell him before he says a word, he says yes and asks me how his wife is doing “She is fine, waiting for your return after a year”; he looks up and says “a year” yeah I said that already.
He turns around and tells me to follow him while explaining for him it has been already 320 years, so that means time goes by 320 times faster in here than it goes outside. They seem to not age in this dimension at the same speed they do in the other one and he tells me they have a lot of problems.
The guys are talking about how food is scarce, they can’t go out into the dimension due to the demon lord and the creatures that are killing his men; while he is saying that I casually summon food and water around the place to fill in the containers for it and keep walking with him all the way to the door. He turns around when he hears people scream in joy and sees everyone is forming in line for the new food supply.
The guy tears up a bit and says thank you then turns around “Can you do something about the dark rain?” he says, I say yes and ask him to give me a bag of rice, he doesn’t know what a bag is neither what rice is.
They have guns made out of metal, but don’t have plastic? Alright, that’s ok. Tell him what I need and he brings the bag of white rice. Ask them to point me towards the door and how to open it, he then opens the door, or first door. It seems like it is a system where automatic doors open up, then there is a second row of doors that won’t open until the first has closed down.
As the first one is closing Albert says I won’t survive even a minute and then the second door opens. Did he try to get me killed after me giving him free food and water? Wow, what a nice husband he must be.
Walk out and see a yellow star giving off light as well as a very clear sky save for a giant bat-like creature which I guess is the demon lord and also see… one cloud made out of darkness come over to where I am at.
So is that the dark rain? I open the bag of rice expecting it to move slowly then see the stuff coming down at me at super speed, damn need to hurry up!
Throw the bag into the air and then with TK move all of the rice around me to create a barrier and see small 3 or 4 CM long black creatures hit against the rice, they can’t come in and attack me directly so the rain dissolves and then goes around me and tries to attack from another angle.
I rise slightly using TK also to make the circle go below me when the black creatures come out of the ground too but can’t hit me.
Move the wall of rice a bit farther away from me and start moving my hands alongside the rice as if I was controlling it with my hands, expand my vision to be 360 and start dancing around with the rice and making spears out of it combining it with TK.
Slowly but surely my rice spears start crushing this black rain down, 3 or 4 minutes later there is more rice than black rain next to me and the creatures start leaving so I start moving the rice towards it and crushing it as its flying off onto the distance, once I Make sure all of them are dead retrieve my rice and plant it around me, forcefully making it grow so people can use it to feed themselves.
Go back inside and everyone is speechless and there is a large line of people in front of the door looking at me “So now what, where is the next entrance?” Albert isn’t even there anymore so they just point me towards a building and I teleport to it then find myself sucked by the new orb… damn.
Back to sleep.
I am next to a mansion. Become lucid while getting up. This place looks really luxurious and doesn’t seems to have the same issue as other locations? SO there may be an even lower level somewhere here.
Scan to find the new orb and prepare to teleport there when some rich children say that a bum is on their house. HEY! I am not that dirty, just normal? Oh but they all have sparkly clothes.
Use mind control to force them all to recognize me as a part of the student body in the building where the orb is at that leads to the final dimension. They are ok with taking me there for two reasons, one is because they are also students there, the other is because they don’t want a dirty mutt in their house and arrange for a carriage to come pick me over along with the others.
One of the girls says she is sorry for her family and the boys sneer at me and say I am polluting the air around them “Sorry, I happen to do that when I am next to trash” tell them, the girl who apologized laughs and the other two get furious but can’t come up with something better.
It is boring and I wake up before we arrive…
Back to sleep.
I am inside of a big classroom… no I don’t want to be. Get lucid while going out and decide I will not be taking any classes. I made myself look younger before but just go back to my normal 20’s appearance and start looking for the orb.
People don’t bother me since some students are as old as me and so don’t have much to worry about. A girl tries to hit on me while I am moving around the place so decline her and tell her I only like guys and keep on searching.
Find a hint that it’s on the lower floors and try to get in one of the elevators and hit down… which takes me up. Use scan because that makes no sense and apparently the elevators here have the dimensional direction, down is going up towards the higher dimension while down goes up towards the lower dimension, alright?
So find a guy once I come out of the elevator that wants to get in, I won’t be using that thing again so mind control him into telling me where the stairs are at and start going down.
As I do so end up bumping onto a guy who saw me with the other one before and wants to ask me out… since he heard from the girl and what not, how did this run so fast? Only been here for like 20 minutes.
Anyways try to decline him when he comes over and kisses me… push him out of the way and tell him I am busy and have a boyfriend already, then keep going down.
That made me mad, also figure out I need to go to the bathroom again so do just that and find one close to the orb. It isn’t very well kept as most school bathrooms are but that’s ok.
Close the door, manipulate the metal so it closes and then summon something to keep it closed and take care of my business, 3 minutes later an older guy comes by.
He says it is forbidden to have relationships outside of the school and he will have to look me down real deep, disgusting. He then mentions that he will need to open the door so I just grab it and finish my business, the guy gets super angry and tries to force it open and several people see me come out of the bathroom which is a bit annoying.
End up being really annoyed so once I get out turn back time to before I went into the bathroom, observe where the guy came from and see he is the issue in this dimension because he keeps sexually harassing all students like he wanted to do with me.
Just walk over to him, snap my fingers to let time flow again and smash him against the ground enough times he dies, then move the ground so that there is no blood and it looks like a normal floor again before tossing him to the side and crunching him on himself with super gravity.
Right after go into a series of rooms and find the orb that I need, so go inside.
Back to sleep.
I am walking down a super rundown street, light is scarce and reddish and the place looks abandoned.
Become lucid while walking and… oh, the final stage. Ok this looks like the worst out of them all. And most likely the reason why everything started to fall apart.
Go around asking why things are like this and nobody wants to talk to me.
A woman and her 6 years old kid pull me aside and try to kill me to get meat, which I give them by creating it in front of them.
Once they have eaten ask them what happened and they tell me that in this final dimension creatures are created once something dies but the food is always less, because the creatures that come out are smaller than the ones that die.
They are monsters, but smaller. I think this makes no sense and go with them towards a place that is lower down the ground than the rest of the place and has small abandoned houses with no windows or doors, all made out of rock.
I go inside and the kid says his dog died not too long ago and indeed do see a creature come out that looks like his dog but weaker… and small. So this is the reason, they kept killing things as soon as they came out! But looking at the dog it isn’t even alive, just something made out of energy that is growing up.
I let it attack me and hit it with a sword I summon, but don’t kill it. Hit it with the side with no sharpness the dog starts growing up quickly into a bigger creature, check to see if the monster is alive or has feelings or anything but it does not, just is there as an energy form.
Once I confirm this, let go and as it lounges at me turn the blade around and cut its head off, the thing falls to the ground and it becomes a dark smoke that ends up dissipating and several other creatures come out on the town, this time harmless animals, chickens that can actually be eaten. People get overjoyed and start coming over.
I create several other foods alongside and tell them not to kill the chickens and allow them to give them eggs and reproduce; people agree and also tell them NOT to kill creatures right away, to wait until it grows further.
People agree, everyone is happy and the star of this dimension starts lighting up brighter and the dimension gets restored. I then move over to the next one, not even a minute has gone by and just teleport to the mansion where I go up again.
Teleport next to Albert and tell him he will soon see his wife, but I am about to have to leave, he says they can kill the demon king since the greatest danger to them was the rain I destroyed.
He thanks me before I wake up, just teleport out of the cave and back into one of the buildings before waking up.

These are my first 2 nights of the competition!! I started a bit late.

Night 3:
Full non-lucid dream:
Me and my close family (dad, siblings) are at a small, dingy looking restaurant called "Meyers". I recognize it as being related to the grocery store Fred Meyer, just without the Fred part. Across the street is a Dunkin Donuts, and that makes me notice this place is also a "donuts restaurant. There are seats and tables lining the walls, so my family sits down at one of them. I look around, and notice glass windows in each of the tables containing some donuts. I keep looking for a table to sit at. Each of them has a price labelled on them. I settle on a "45" table.
(What's interesting to me about this dream was that I haven't been to Fred Meyers in years; they had them in the state I used to live in, but not in FL.)

Non-lucid fragment 1: Something is following me, but not like in a bad or weird way. It's not a person, it's some sort of usable, helpful item, following me like in some video games (such as the Toppins in the recent indie game "Pizza Tower", which I've been playing recently.)
Non-lucid fragment 2: Something relating to the "strongest part of my body", which according to the dream is my head currently resting on my pillow.

Night 4:
Non-lucid fragment: Something relating to my sister.

I'm in my house that looks like my apartment, and my friends are over. My drawings are out, and my friend is super impressed by them. Especially this one drawing that looks like a render of a face, but slightly uncanny, with high detail and coloring.
We eventually go to bed. My friend and I are in the same bed and he takes my phone and is going through it, so I do the same to him (jokingly) - he seems to be looking for more drawings I've done.
The next morning, I find myself on a boat somewhere in the ocean. There's a drill sargeant - it seems we've all been `drafted` and are in boot camp. He's explaining what we're going to do. There's an giant, elevated island near us. A couple `missiles` explode below deck and the boat suddenly begins to sink - the sargeant says that we have to swim over there ourselves and climb to the top. I jump out - the boat goes flying and a couple people like this buff guy jump out and grab the ledge near the top, but I miss and `fall all the way down`. The water is nice, but as I kick for the surface, I lose one of my shoes. I reach the ledge and try to climb up a few times. Eventually I make it to the top.
At the top, the drill sargeant tells us that our next task is to jump down again. There's waterfalls going into the ocean, and wherever those are, are deep underwater `caves`. Our job is to swim down there and find 3 caves and take videos of each. I ask him how we do that if our phones are not waterproof.
Afterwards, we also end up going back down to a nearby spring that's somehow in the ocean at the surface, just barely below so it's like a cove. I recover my shoe along the way. While I'm there, I freak out because water got in my ziplock bag that has my phone in it. I also have bubble gum in my mouth, a big wad of it, that I spit into a toilet in the cove. A few seconds later, the sargeant comes over and sees it, but doesn't know it's me. We exchange friendly talk, he cleans it up, and I'm nervous that he'll realize it's me. Someone nearby calls me over and mentions my bubble gum, heightening the tension.

There's another part earlier, where I'm in some sort of video game or movie narrative. I'm with the `MHA` cast and we are escaping an evil monster. We finally escape through a tiny box by all transforming into a big waterspout, and the monster is left behind. There's one guy left from the crew that's a blue dude, and he says that he only has 5 minutes of power left but he's gonna kill the monster. It annoys me that he's somehow more powerful than Deku and all the other members of the class, that the writer messed up that bad. I try to explain this but can't remember everyone's name because some are made up - I only recognize Deku, Todoroki, Sero, and Bakugo. On the other side of the box-portal, I write an angry review and drawings about this on a `little notebook` at the start of the hub world. Turns out other people were doing the same thing, with little reviews written on each page. I try to write something on the first page but there's a big design covering it. I realize my mistake and erase it.

I meet a girl who gives me these tablets that you burn in order to get `high`. I do a bunch of them, and tell her I didn't even know this was a thing. I do too many, which makes her laugh.
Near us is the entrance to a `club`. I stand in the waiting lobby which gets increasingly crowded, and notice that being high makes the colors more vibrant. My friend is also there, and we are all wearing fedoras for some reason. I realize this and take mine off. The fact that it's so crowded and busy ruins my high but I think it's okay.

(also other fragments)

- Dream #1: Someone asked a group of tulpas (sentient imaginary companions) and hosts what it was like to be together. We were at an apartment complex underneath the stars. (Fragment for 0.5 points)
- Dream #2: I had a lucid astral projection experience which was induced with DEILD (I think from dream #3 below actually, sorry they're out of order). I felt myself floating out of my body slightly. I lifted my arms up into the air, seeing them rise above me. I heard a bunch of people talking all around me. I tried to launch into the air. For some reason, I fell back into my body instead, and just felt vibrations all over in mild sleep paralysis before waking up and having to pee lol. Need to practice better dream control and stabilizing. (DEILD for 10 points)
- Dream #3: This one got NSFW. The clean parts: I was in a classroom. There was an anthropomorphic wolf that looked somewhat similar to Death/Lobo from Puss in Boots 2. He asked me where my parking validation was. He was then yelling at me for daring to be at a magical school when I have bipolar disorder (I have not been diagnosed with this IRL) and the ability to traverse between different worlds. I had more consciousness in this dream than usual, enough to really think about what was going on -- but not enough to become lucid. It got weirdly NSFW after that, and I wrote it down in my paper journal but we're not going to discuss that here. I'm not even sure wtf my brain was doing with this one. (Full non-lucid for 1 point)
- Dream #4: I had a dream that I was writing in my dream journal! I love these because I am very likely to get lucid when they happen. That said, this time it didn't. (Fragment for 0.5 points)
- Dream #5: I had a dream in which Taylor Swift was walking around. (Fragment for 0.5 points)
- Dream #6: I was with all these crip dudes wearing blue and I was also wearing mostly blue for some reason. I think a sky blue football jersey? Again...I have been listening to too much gangster rap at the gym. (Fragment for 0.5 points)

- 4 fragments = 2 points
- 1 full non-lucid = 1 point
- 1 DEILD = 10 points
Total: 13 points

Competition total: 32.5 (due to interacting with DC the previous night, thanks Saizaphod!) + 13 = 45.5

Saturday March 4th 2023
I don’t like you.
I was at home about to prepare something… but everything was so heavy. Become lucid and decide I need to go to another planet to prepare food and taste something a bit different; but then how will I get food… want to go shopping.
Teleport again, this time try to reach out to a planet that has a family similar to my own but with a dead version of me they don’t know yet about and do find the place!
So once I arrive, try not to teleport inside since the me dead they don’t know about died a long time ago (Back when I killed all other alternate versions of myself); knock on the door, give them a full discourse of what happened and why I was unable to come back for years. They buy it and I feel like will be waking up, so tell them I need to go and rest before anything else so that I can wake up and not arise suspicion.
Back to sleep.
I am talking to a family member, become lucid while doing so and remember my goal… to prepare stuff that is only possible inside of a dream! This place has some very unique birds that are already domesticated and I want to prepare an omelette with that and some fruits, so ask one of the sisters in this world to bring me to the market.
They take me to the nearest market and I purchase plenty of stuff while creating coins of the currency of this planet in my pockets. We talk for a while, tell them some more about this fake trip and that will end up leaving soon again but wanted to come visit and prepare some food. Also tell them have been sleeping poorly and what not. We get back from the market and they open the door.
We go inside, I turn on the stove but still need their help to get to the right place. This house is nice, a back and front yard, the kitchen is a single big rectangular room and the bathroom is outside of the restroom, it has many entrances and also the places for sleeping are all together, feels cosy.
Prepare the eggs in an omelette of fruits, add enough salt, also teleport some spices from other planet and use them, increase the fire using fire control and control the temperature by absorbing heat into the wind next to it to make a better meal.
It takes me roughly 20 minutes to finish the preparations but am about to wake up, ask family to serve things as I go sit down for a bit while I wake up.
Back to sleep.
Am talking to myself, get up and become lucid; rub my eyes and remember my goal, get out of the room I am on, pass by the bathroom and get over to the kitchen, they are nearly done serving. Also figure out that should get the layout of the place and start using Scan while walking around.
Not too far from here there is a school that is abusing children by forcing them to learn how to use their powers in a hierarchical system that forces them to fight and sometimes kill each other which I don’t like, for one they are making humans stronger than needed and for another nobody should abuse children.
Take a note to go there once I am done eating. Once they finish serving feel like I am about to wake up again… no! Talk to them, ground myself to stay in the dream for a little bit longer and eat to my heart’s content, also get some sauce that apparently isn’t common on this planet by teleporting it from another planet and mixing the ingredients by creating a mini tornado and then just teleporting the content inside of a recipe and placing it over the table.
They get surprised since they have never tasted anything like it, I just continue eating, lots of sauce added, some water with mango, pretty cool flavours all around. I am very happy about the results before waking up for real.
Back to sleep.
I am sitting in a dimly lit room. Become lucid and get out of the room, tell family I have to leave and hurry outside then leave the body I am on and go inside the body of one of the kids at the place.
So far he has been named the weakest but his skill is quite good, eh can gather information and layer it around himself to predict actions in the immediate future.
I go over as him and take classes as the kid, he is asleep in the meantime.
Take notes, talk to the teachers, they seem to be impressed by the kid making more progress now than he used to before, I also refuse to let him be intimidated by the big kid in the class that has a skill that allows him to grow larger and stronger; albeit his skill is better oriented for fighting and has a much better body structure and height than the one I am controlling, they are not allowed to use skills outside of official battles and as such don’t worry too much.
When the teacher comes back, he seems annoyed at me, since in the last test he made I got higher grades than some of my classmates, he keeps trying to pick up on the kid I am controlling but keeps failing; before leaving he says he needs to speak to the principal and will get back to us which is nice since I need to wake up.
Back to sleep.
I am sitting in a wooden chair, become lucid as someone pushes my head down because it’s going in slow motion due to how heavy we are… being lucid fixes the issue with being in slow motion but then I get my head slammed against the chair and since this is not my body get actual damage.
There is some blood and I heal myself before turning around so nobody realizes, leave a small red mark and the kids body instinctively started to cry.
The big guy is there smirking at me, because he can’t believe I tried to defy him or his group, so tell him he couldn’t beat me without his powers and make him want to fight me.
The friends of the kid come over and tell me something bad is happening, that the teachers are talking ill about me for going against the hierarchy and that they want to expel me, they tell me to just accept the beating in order to stay in the school to which I tell them that will not happen while getting ready.
The other kid is getting ready and the teachers are on their way back, teleport some trouble makers from another country to force the teachers to lose time with them.
The guy comes at me super obviously; he is running with his hand raised to punch down (The kid is like 1.3 meters’ tall vs the enemy who is like 1.5), as he is running just stand there and once I see his punch come down step to the right side and raise my leg to kick his chin as he was coming down.
He tries to alter the trajectory of the fist but gets kicked first, rebound the leg back down and stomp on the ground jumping above the guy, avoid the punch and just kick him on the head and hop next to one of the wooden chairs.
The guy gets mad and comes charging at me again, so this time move towards the front jumping and smash his nose with my head then as he steps back grab him by the collar and let myself fall with my whole weight and pull him down, as he is starting to trip take a hop to the front and kick the back part of his knees, forcing him to kneel down and then kick him in the head a few times, he ends up in the ground.
That should teach them that skills are not everything!
Prepare to leave the place since I feel like I have won when some of his friends literally uh… attack one of the kids holes, apparently there was also SA which the kid knows of. I grab their hand and jump out of the way super angry, wanting to kill them when the other kid slams me using his powers, which throws the body of the kid against the wall and across a desk that gets broken… the kid faints before I can force him awake and falls to the ground, and the other kids seem to want to SA him but I wake up before I can stop them.
DEILD/Back to sleep.
That won’t be happening while I am here!
The kid is still fainted and his friends come, when they call him as the others prepare to SA the kid I forcefully wake him up and get him dressed of what little clothes he lost.
The other kids come to his aid but are pushed aside by the big guy, I place my fingers on his nose and then pull him down and slam my head against his nose again, this time he is bleeding profusely.
The teachers come by and I accuse him of using his skills outside of the school regulations but the teacher says he is allowed to do so, because the teacher gives him permission.
The kid then goes on to attack again so I use the skill of my host and avoid then try to gouge one eye out but fail to do so because the teacher kicks my host out of the way before I can fully take the eye out. I protect my host and he smashes against a window, some glass falls down and cuts him down.
The teacher asks the other kid to use fusion powers, and he absorbs his friends, turning into a giant that can control all elements at will, so ask the friends of the kid to help him and this allows him to also partially change information.
Normally he couldn’t use his power for more than become a mist, so the other big kid tried to hit with thunder.
I change the humidity of the place and then redirect the thunder and humidity towards the big guy whom now gets electrocuted.
The teacher then does something that opens a door, the big kid runs towards that location and I follow suit in a form where I am a 2d creature. There are paintings that move all around.
Some kind of deity was sealed in here and they have been trying to unseal it. They do it now using the fusion of the big kid and mine, which pretty much kills half the kids in the other room and takes away all of the force from the ones next to the painting that were fused and nearly kills the host and his friends who are weaker, if not for the fact I protected him.
Some kind of clown like creature starts hoping around the paintings and laughing at all of us, the teacher seems to be overjoyed and the kid I am with is fainting.
The creature finally comes out of the pictures and transforms into a child himself, but obviously also a deity given by his power levels.
The wind around him is pushed over and that hit will obviously kill my host and his friends.
So finally get out of his body and stop the punch of the deity with my hand and create a barrier that protects my host, the rest of the building gets clown apart killing the assholes that I was fighting before and hurting the teacher. Teleport a giant stalactite above the teacher and move it with TK down to pierce his stomach and make him die a painful, slow death before turning to the deity and tell the creature to stop or I will devour it.
The thing jumps back and then two meteors come crashing down, the clouds above me dissipate from the heat and so I create absolute zero next to it, reforming the clouds and creating ice spikes all around the meteors that then get shot towards it, making it just small rocks.
The creature seems perplexed but still confident. The air around us turns black and a mist comes towards me, I teleport in front of him and touch the mist making it toxic to him and then push him back with super gravity pointed outside of the planet; the deity then becomes a 2d creature to escape and moves towards the kids again so grab it and look at it completely confused as to how I could get a hold of it, it tries to become immaterial but still holding tightly on to it “Told you to quit while you still had the chance” tell the deity as I get it towards my mouth and start munching on it, and seal it inside of my stomach.
Once I am done teleport down and restore the time of the place to before the explosion, but keep the teacher and the bullies dead, everyone else is told they are dismissed to go and never come back; since this was the only project to ever be created for kids with powers kill all the heads of the project and anyone who knew about it, also make sure the kids understand how to protect themselves and avoid having the same project being born again and give some creatures on the planet the ability to fight off humans if needed before waking up.

Friday March 3rd 2023
Actually forgot to journal and the day was chaotic, also went to sleep at 3.40am and woke up 2 hours later, so only remember now being lucid and eating something, scrambled eggs if memory serves before flying towards a mountain.

Thursday March 2nd 2023
Poor sleep and poor dream control.
I am walking around the house, become lucid and decide it is time for me to do something else.
Teleport to a new world and just fly over a town, for some reason I do not like the place and don’t want to go down there.
Keep flying, use Scan in order to see what the people are in there like and the reason why I didn’t feel comfortable is because they keep killing species in cruel ways.
The next thing I do is control the people from afar using TK to close down their wind pipes and make them all die of suffocation; once I know none of them is still alive prepare to go down but wake up before being able to reach the ground.
Back to sleep.
I am going to the bathroom; become lucid while doing so and teleport over to a new world and end in space… try teleporting a few more times and keep arriving to different locations but none of them are in an actual civilization or even a planet, just random places in space.
Not sure why this keeps happening and can’t figure it out before waking up.
Back to sleep.
I am walking down a forest, become lucid and decide I want to go somewhere else; first of all though check if my teleportation is working properly and teleport to a random planet.
It worked, so good for me! See a tower in the distance and teleport in front of the place, right at the entrance.
There is a big wooden door and people guarding it that try to impale me with spears as soon as I come over, they just don’t do any damage as I walk towards the tower and rip the door off and throw it behind me.
Start going up the tower and wonder how many floors it is, so start counting my steps through the stairs, 247 steps… why am I even counting if I won’t know how tall this is? Will check once I wake up. As I reach the top see the sun coming up, and it is actually a cool sight. The only bad side is the people screaming at me from below, so make a fire that burns them all near instantly as it goes down to enjoy the sun sight. Or star sight or whatever, not much besides that is done.
Back to sleep.
I am sitting in the grass, get up and become lucid while doing so. Once I am standing and lucid wonder what I should be doing now.
Fly a bit and watch around just to see that there is a cool river not too long from me, so start walking towards that direction.
Once I reach a girl comes to me and asks me where I am going, try to ignore her but she keeps pestering me so go towards a road that is going up a mountain that is next to the river, the girl finally stops following me at that point.
Once I reach a certain height, the road becomes a cliff that goes directly onto the river and at the other side there is a plain; since the girl is now gone just jump over the cliff and land at the other side of the rider; a shockwave is created so use time to reverse the damage and sound before it reaches anyone and sit down next to the river; take off my shoes and socks and start playing in the water before waking up.

Two robots are fighting in an open grassy field surrounded by trees. One is a sort of spider-like design and the other is a big box on a unicycle with arms (like Claptrap from borderlands). Both bots are smaller than a human, maybe laborador sized. Both appear to be new and have white paint jobs with blue stripes and detailing. They are flailing around very fast trying to shove these chips/flash drives into each others access ports to change the programming of the opposing bot.

The dream shows a slow motion of the spider-like robot being successful. It has more arms and in this fight it is given an unfair advantage The slow motion is from the robot's point of view showing that its winning move happens in a matter of miliseconds when it manages to swat away the other robot's arms and then shove the microchip into the other robots slot. A compartment on the claptrap robot opens up and a large spherical sort of energy core falls out. It is glowing with an intense bluish light.

I am drawn into the light and emerge on the far side. While I am not lucid, or operating at a very low/unclear layer of lucidity. I am told by the dream narrator that this is the dream wonderland that I have been trying to create. They explain that it exists now in the quantum realm inside the power core of the robot now. (This is somehow like the quantum realm in the new Ant-Man movie) The narrator also explains that changes have been made to nuclear physics and that larger atomic nuclei are now able stable on this universal plane and the number of stable elements possible is roughly double what it is in the real world.

I remember standing on the surface of the water which is mirror still. I am with Manei and when we walk around we create small ripples. I see several small islands around us and the foliage appears to be dark purple or black (a feature of the wonderland that I have been working on). Manei points out that the sky doesn't change colors when the sun sets. It is presently a sort of twilight with the sun on the horizon. (Only one sun, ofc the other could have been below the horizon). But the sky doesn't turn orange and yellow, it just becomes darker blue when the sun sets. To that I respond.

"Oh thats a glitch because I haven't added that feature yet. Can you please do it, I am sure you will make the sunsets beautiful."

Lost the dream there.

Not giving myself points for lucid. While it had lucid dream elements, I wouldn't honestly say I was properly aware of the dream state.

My mom sent me to Lowes to get a plant called a "Tyrie". It was a blue flower.

Non lucid so +.5

I had superpowers. I was a superweapon made in France. I could fly, had super strength, and telekinesis. I think I got arrested at some point because I started to follow my mom's orders and not those of the French government but I simply broke out. Eventually got to my house IRL and passed out in the bed, waking up in real life.

Non lucid so +.5

3-5-23 Comp Day 4 (WBTB - Failed) I think I tried too hard last night. I even wrote and filled up a full page of intent, that I would without doubt have a lucid dream. I wrote out exactly what I was going to do and wrote it with perhaps too much confidence. Hahahaha I know I had many other dreams and just couldn’t grab onto them before falling back to sleep each time I woke up.

DF#1 flying in circles in the air with another DC; we were connected to each other by some sort of straps that had a long enough lead on them and it allowed us to circle around in the air. First I would go, then they would go. It was a fun feeling; similar to flying but instead could only do circles.

D#2 I was walking next to a big rig which was backing up into a sandy area. He got stuck and his tires were horizontal, not vertical and were buried under the sand. I was next to it and pushed up against some dense juniper trees. I had the feeling if the truck moved again I'd be squashed. But I got out of there before he started moving again. I was making my way to a place I could sit and write. I wandered into an old hotel. Nobody was around so I opened one of the doors to a room. Nothing was in the room; it had carpet and no furniture and one window. It had a hole in the wall and a striped cat came out of the hole then walked across the room to the back wall where it went out a small gap space under the wall to the outside. I had a book with me and I was writing something. At one point I saw some paper fliers, on these paper fliers were animated women in red. The woman in red was modeling and she would open up her red dress or coat as if to flash herself, but she had other clothes on. She turned and did the flash again and again, each time a new outfit. I thought it was a great idea for an animated paper photo and thought about how or what kind of technology did that. As it was not connected to any computer device. I continued to write. Too bad I can’t remember what I was writing; it seemed profound in some way. I tore each sentence from the paper and ended up with strips of paper. I was gathering stuff to get ready to do and I had more there than I thought. I had this book which had a dust cover. The dust cover was 5 times larger than it should have been. I have to fold and fold and fold it till I could get it small enough to fit the book. I had all those torn pieces of paper I had to include and closed the book. I was looking around in the room and I had my IRL green rocker recliner chair there. Ugh…how did that even get there I thought. There was no way I could take that out with me. I left it behind. Before I left, that cat came back in. It walked back over to the hole in the wall. I didn’t interact with it. I opened the door and walked out. There was a lady in light blue and she was standing behind a desk right next to the door I came out of. I looked at her face but just for a moment and then kept walking out of the lobby then out the front door. I was now walking fast across a huge parking area with no cars. Further out there was another parking area. I didn’t remember coming in a car, but I was heading that direction as if my car was over there. The ground was sandy, I got far enough away from the building that I knew I couldn’t see it anymore, so I turned around and saw the lady in blue following me. She had a camera and was trying to get me on video. I put my book up to cover my face and told her to stop videotaping me. Then I thought I’d just tell her I was there just writing. She didn’t want to hear about why I was there. She just wanted to capture my face on video so that they would be able to perform face recognition and know who I was. I was sort of afraid of getting into trouble; but I also thought, well how much trouble could get into, I was only writing in that room but then I thought, Oh but I did leave behind that chair. I turned again to run away fast from her and attempt to hide behind a big old dumpster, I went around it and was hoping to lose her. But she was smart enough to know what I was doing and met me right there at the other side of the dumpster. She had the camera up in my face and said, there, I got you. She got me on video and she turned away and walked back.
