      Spellbee's Summer Lucid Competition 2016 - Entry 1

      Bleh. Not much to note on dreams, one complete one from before dawn, and a number of fragments afterwards. There was one scrap which was LD related, and another where I should have identified the state, but, oh well. That's that.

      Dream 1 - Sonic Fights Some Bones

      The visuals were slightly blurred. I was watching someone (my nephew?) play a 3D Sonic game, of which took place in the ruins of a destroyed present-day city.

      First few minutes were spent exlporing the site and getting a handle for the controls. This included jumping around in a demolished warehouse, and grinding on a row of fallen street lamps. The stage was initially empty of any other figures, whether enemies or just background characters.

      Then, as he turned a corner, he was suddenly ambushed by a gigantic, hunched hominid skeleton. Sonic's attacks were useless, and so he was forced to flee. In response, the giant chucked huge (arm or leg) bones with deadly accuracy.

      At one point, outright Sonic changes into E-102 Gamma. The robot's too slow to evade the incoming projectiles, but he could redirect these by laser-blasting them away. Unfortunately, the player isn't much of a shooter. He complains of how difficult this all is, while I claim he just needed to work on his technique.

      Not sure what happens until the dream ended.

      20 minute WBTB. Unsuccussful.

      Scrap Group 1

      Several forgotten dreams connected by a group of similar false awakenings. In these, I'd "awaken" in bed with my dream guide, E, laying next to me. I was too tired and tried getting back to sleep, only for her to harass me by pushing me around and even biting me.

      At home. Go Theodore's room to help him fix his computer's DVD drive. Some driver issues, I think? Claude turns up. Several media conversations, including a few comments bemoaning previously liked shows that've disappointed us as time went by. I hoped Rick and Morty wouldn't become one of such shows. Theodore states his dislike of the series for its overt use of gross humor.

      Visiting Donny's place, for some reason. He's getting some games set up, when he's called in for work. Overheard his supervisor saying quite some demeaning things. Donny tried hiding his displeasure. Numerous unknown people then turned up, co-workers of his, I thought.

      Claude and I are testing out a few things in D&D. We put several character builds against a Forgotten Beast (incorrect reference; that's a generated monster from Dwarf Fortress) to see how long they'd last. The last one, a Wizard, stood virtually no chance. I bemoaned how unfair this was. Claude made a snippy remark of my "needing to think a little" to overcome this. How infuriating. As I walk away, I imagine violently taking out my anger out on him. This illusion takes form, and I identify as much, yet I'm too soured to entirely realize the dream.

      Created Friday 15 July 2016

      There were three dreams I recalled today, including a late DILD at the end, to which I bagged this month's Bonus task. The first one is just a fragment now, though that was wilfully forgotten on my part; the first half was just kinda yucky.

      Scrap Group 1
      Skip gross part. Later, something of "chibi" human heads eating tiny people like candy.

      Dream 1 - Don't Mind the Senseless Transition

      The visuals were dim. I was wandering at a parking lot at late dusk.

      As I searched for my vehicle (whatever that was), I suddenly turn up at the backseat of a car. My sister, Giane, and my brother, Terry, were there. I question how I'd no memory of getting there. Supposedly, I spaced out for a moment, during which I was taken inside said car. That didn't make much sense even at the time, yet I just left it at that.

      Soon, Giane recieves a phone call. On the other line were two cousins, Carlos and Isabella, who were supposedly visiting. They wanted us to go to a restaurant to speak. Terry and I were not up to it, though I reluctantly change my mind when Carlos assured me he'd take the bill.

      One highway drive later, and I go within an unknown home. This place was a bit messy, and not in good repair. Mom shows up. She claims we rented the place for a few nights as part of a vacation, I think. Most of the luggage was still packed. I look through the cupboards in the kitchen. On the higher ones, I find several plastic canisters filled with crackers. Certainly, we came more prepared than I expected.

      Things get unclear. I know I wander around for a while. Not sure how the dream ends.

      Dream 2 - Quick Quake


      The visuals were dim. I falsely awaken in the downstairs bedroom at early dawn. Both being in this location and my inability to move makes me aware of my state.

      I immediately try the earthquake TOTM by will alone. And just like that, the ground trembles with a low rumble. Such violent shaking was very uncomfortable. Even then, the surrounding furniture within and just out of the room hardly budged; they're only barely scraped sideways on the tiled floors, and nothing on or within them are toppled over.

      After about ~30 seconds, I'm transitioned, though I know nothing else of what occurred until I awaken.

    3. Log 441 - Beach Ball Planet and Other Assorted Stories

      by , 07-14-2016 at 07:39 PM (Dream Logs DWN-12)
      Created Thursday 14 July 2016

      Technically, there were a total of four dreams I recalled today, one which briefly became a DILD, and another which I chained into a DEILD. I'll just count the last as a single dream. Furthermore, I've only a hint of what the first involved.

      Scrap Group 1

      Something about a hotel, and possibly a mall.

      Dream 1 - Special Guest at the Gas Station

      The visuals were mostly clear. I was working in my old gas station at late dusk. A former co-worker, Tito was also there.

      This place was packed, leaving me stuck at the register. At one point, a tanned skinned woman asked for a pack of Motrin, and also buying a small bottle of water. She lugged around large black leather purse and an umbrella, and also had care of several small kids. I reached for the medicine, which was oddly placed amongst some cigarrettes. In her hurried confusion, she almost tried paying me with the Motrin pack. On correcting her, she handed me the required $2.01.

      Later, an olive skinned guy was trotting along with a large, plastic, multilayed cart. Very suspicious. I went to the front door, where I for some reason leapt on the ice cream cooler to get his attention. One query on what he needed, and he dropped everything and left abruptly.

      Soon, someone buzzed from outside. Out on pump 5, I believe, was a frustrated woman, a black, full-sized van behind her. Several of her kids were running around. The woman was obviously using the hose from the other side of the pump. Through the intercom, the woman complained of the card readers not working. I bade she come inside to resolve this, angering her further.

      As things picked up, Jose left elsewhere for undisclosed reasons. I alone had to deal with this parade of a line. A string of transactions later, I serve a thin, short, lightly tanned, dark haired, Hispanic young lady. She'd a long nose and looked rather plain overall, and was dressed in a striped sleeveless shirt and dark spandex. In lieu of buying something, the girl introduced herself.

      "I'm Nahiri. I have something to tell you, but it's gonna take a while." I only partially acknowledged her words, my concerns lying more on the ridiculously long queue behind her.

      "Er... would you mind if I take care of a few people before we start?", I requested. "I'd really appreciate it." She seemed a bit annoyed. While the next customer approached, I continued.

      "Nahiri, huh? That sounds familiar... [Magic - The Gathering], right? Hmmm... wait a minute..."

      It clicked. I was in a dream. I made breathing test to confirm this. Unfortunately, this ends the dream immediately.

      Dream 2 - Beach Ball Planet

      The visuals were mostly clear. I was a passenger in an unknown vehicle, riding around locally at twilight. All of my siblings were with me.

      Seems the area was different, what with all the fields and trees in place of the hospital and several communities, much like how it was over a decade ago. Furthermore, a shopping plaza was being constructed where the BJ's would be. We dropped by to look in at several of the unfinished restaurants. One was a since defunct grill restaurant. Another was a Thai restaurant, which would make two so close by. Curiously, one of these places opened prematurely. My brother, Adam, peeked inside for a take-out menu.

      Unknown skip. I'm at my bedroom, the sky fully sunlit. Soon, I realized I could fly, and so I zip around the house. This spooks my sister, who was lounging downstairs. So, she left. She takes along an unknown young male who she'd charge of, as well as my baby niece, who appeared as but a newborn. They go in an old, white minivan. I levitate inside to say goodbye, and float out through the sunroof while sitting cross-legged. Could barely make it out before I got my back end scraped by the speeding van.

      Next, I take to the skies, spinning and dashing through the clouds. I enjoy myself for a few minutes before I fly back down to my neighborhood. While heading home, I glance at a startled neighbor woman smiling nervously at me. Then, I notice an odd, dark figure on my roof. It seemed a twisted man-bat type creature. So, I fly up to chase it away, only to find it was just (or likely changed into) an oversized trash liner. I kicked it off, and seated myself on the roof to relax for a bit.

      After that, I flew into my bedroom, where I made flying spin kicks for fun. These attempts came out awkwardly, all too high and imbalanced. Suddenly, I wake up. How disappointing. As I remember the dream, I think to myself "If I were back in and aware of the dream..."

      Voip. Just like that, I'm flying high in the clouds, my neighborhood and the entire town visible far below.

      "...I'd try the earthquake TOTM."

      Now aware, I thought it best to get to it immediately. I dive down at mach speed, and reel my fist back to ready a punch. Out of courtesy, I tilted myself to land in my backyard. Here it comes. A big impact. I strike the Earth, and... Bop. The entire planet is punted out of orbit like a giant beach ball, with me dragged along with it. Darkness and blurred stars zoom through the sky. Heck, this takes me far enough to pass Mars, the red planet skimming dangerously close for at least a few seconds before it's scrolled out of view. I wondered what sort of climate awaited us in this new orbit. Surely, many animals would go extinct in a short timeframe.

      I awaken with such thoughts in head.

    4. Log 430 - Sequence of Simultaneous Plots

      by , 07-03-2016 at 07:03 PM (Dream Logs DWN-12)
      Created Sunday 03 July 2016

      Lots of dreams after my 6:30 AM awakening, including an especially lengthy one at the end, but, at this point, I've but scraps for most, and forgotten a number of details for that last one.

      Scrap Group 1
      There was a party in an unknown home I supposedly resided in. Various family members, including dad, and my uncle, Carlos, were there. Carlos invited friend of his, who turned out to an obnoxious and ignorant visitor.

      Something of magic powers, card games, and betrayal.

      Driving along with dad and other family members to a baseball stadium.

      Something about an origin story for Lion from Steven Universe. Its manifestion occurred as a culmination of the original Crystal Gem's various traits. This may have occurred at any point before, between or after the next dream.

      Dream 1 - Sequence of Simultaneous Plots

      The visuals fluctuated between slightly blurred and very blurred. This was a fairly long sequence of various plots, each occurring (nearly) simultaneously.

      First plot had me a passenger in a large vehicle. Various figures were in there, including several family members, and several cartoon and video game figures. Of them, I recalled Erron Black from Mortal Kombat. Someone pointed out my balding in the back corners of head. A look at the side mirrors showed me just as much. Very upsetting.

      Several forgotten events later, I'm walking alone down a suburban sidewalk, a wooden fence lined throughout the block. Soon, a recognizeable male figure (who's identity I've forgotten at this point) is launched overhead of me and out of view. As I reach the corner, two figures arrive perpendicular to me. One was clearly the giant man-brute Torr, also from Mortal Kombat, while the other was Tina from Bob's Burgers. The former lacked his left glove, while the latter her left shoe. This ends with me walking into a backyard party.

      Next plot was rather unclear. It involved my brother, Josef, in a Magic tournament. His matches were rather swingy, and I'm pretty sure he was eliminated before the quarter finals. Eventually, he ends up in the same the backyard party.

      Another unknown skip. The next plot featured Tina. This started with her in the backyard party. She was dancing furiously, but unskillfully, amongst a group of teens. She then walks by a group of adults seated at a picnic table, where she overheard sex talk. Of particular interest to her were some comparisons between... er, endurance, and the male extremity's size. Her dad, Bob, was there, and was clearly embarrassed when he noticed her. He tries shooing his daughter away silently without revealing himself to his peers.

      Cut to an isometric shot of a two layered wooden fence. Tina and Torr both walk (as gorilla, in the latter case) on opposite sides, while that familiar forgotten character is strutting along in between. All pace along at the same speed in the same direction, and all knew nothing of the others' presence. This goes on for a while until they reach the corner. Once there, Torr is startled by other guy, and reactively tosses him to the horizon. Tina, unpreturbed, asks the brute if he'd like to hang out with her, to which he nods in agreement. I show up at that very moment, and question why they were missing their glove and shoe, respectively. They didn't seem to realize it beforehand, but they shrugged this off regardless and walked away.

      I was then at the party. I find Josef and speak of his Magic game, despite not being present with him at the time. Either way, I admit to that Crawling Sensation enchantment being far more useful than at first glance.

      Don't know what else happened until the dream ended.

      32 hours without sleep gave me one helluva case of REM rebound. Unfortunately, I've only got fragments of what occurred throughout the night and morning, including some interesting dreams and an LD. I maybe woulda been able to remember things better if I'd not unwittingly prevented the phone's alarm from waking me throughout that time.

      Scrap Group 1

      Yet another Mortal Kombat dream, this time from the "Klassic" storyline. A Netherrealm Invasion pended on both my own awakening, as well as good draws from some trading card game.

      Very long dream, though I only recall the end. I was in an unknown home, scrounging around in the kitchen, while a group of tanned skinned, dark haired Hispanic people loitered about during an afterparty. I looked inside the black steel oven, finding much food within pots, pans, and plates. Most were shredded portions of chicken and pork. I think of getting sweet and sour chicken, but knew that was already claimed by some guy. Then, a conversation of damaged medieval weaponry and armor, including something of a broken-linked mail.

      Some dream where I warp to a forest, and encounter a weird magical woman.

      Then, something of my being on the balcony of a mysterious castle. Strange grey clouds roiled in the skies.

      Another warping dream, where I'm taken in a tour through various places.

      A mostly forgotten lucid dream. Some interaction within an environment of ink-like fog caused me to unwittingly warp into other scenes numerous times. There was a notable lack of dream noises, contrasted by sounds concurrently occurring in real life.

      Created Thursday 14 April 2016

      I remembered two dreams today, one DILD after a WILD attempt, and one before my first known awakening. However, at the moment, I only know of scraps for the latter.

      Scrap Group 1
      Like yesterday, I ended up seeing a member from DreamViews in my dream. This was an androgynous person with long, black hair, a person that I assumed was JadeGreen. Later on, I spoke with my brother, Edwin, who lacked his dreads and beard. Then, a good portion of the dream revolved around a Sega Genesis game. Or rather, a black mega-cartridge filled with supposed "demos" of said games, as indicated from a red and black label, as well as a pamphlet that came with it. Of those listed in this brochure were all of the classic Sonic games (Sonic 1, 2, 3, and Knuckles). This cartridge was apparently shown in a private tech convention in the mid nineties, and indeed, a warning label stated it was illegal to have under any other circumstances. I hooked this up to a Genesis console, and played some fantasy beat-em-up game, not unlike the first Golden Axe, though more medieval fiction than Hyborian-esque.


      Dream 1 - A Lucid Tour


      Scene 1 - Not the Best Spot to Sleep
      The visuals were blurred. I woke up in the living room of unknown apartment. Lounging around in the area were my parents, as well as one or both of my brothers.

      From the start, I felt uncomfortable and tired. I thus hadn't a care in laying down around or under odd places, starting with the carpeted floor. I later moved under a bar stool, and then under a table, where I dozed off for a bit.

      When I awaken, I find myself squeezed under a leather couch. I became suspicious, enough so that my dream form understood the dream state, but not quite "me". Anyway, I had difficulty breathing, but I calmed down. From random thoughts, I tried giving amusing justifications for my predicament. Nothing of the sort occurred. I just simply drifted off again.

      Then, I "woke up" once more, this time in my bedroom. Felt as if I've had a miserable sleep. So, I trudged to the master bedroom, seeing my brother, Mathias, walking out. I dropped on the bed, only to find, much to my disgust, that the sheets were damp. And yet, I somehow got too comfortable to think of moving. Heck, I even gambled on this helping me attain a lucid dream.

      The scene transitioned afterwards.

      Scene 2 - Funnelled Into Awareness
      The visuals were clear. I was in a lounge room, decorated by a few brown leather couches and some potted plants. A look out the window walls showed I was in the upper floors of a building, a full view of seaside cityscape outside. The skyscraper's spires pierced through storm clouds, all concealing a twilight sky. At a glance, I could note mom was nearby.

      The dark clouds begin spinning rapidly. Within seconds, a narrow, straight funnel cloud descends to the ground. I somehow recalled having a similar dream just days before, and at that, became aware of my state. As such, I relaxed myself, and allowed the twister to do its work.

      Those windows shatter, and I'm immediately sucked out of the building. Yet, I'm only dragged but a few meters before I'm simply falling to the streets below. I recover quickly, and glide ahead towards the ocean, all while enjoying the great view. For a few seconds, anyway, as I'm interrupted by landing much earlier than expected.

      Suddenly, the surrounding structures crumble in plain view, while the sea recedes, if not evaporates entirely. All that's left is the clear blue sky, as well as a desert of white sand I was standing on. I fly ahead, catching sight of, and chasing, the drying ocean visible in the distance, curious as to where it takes me. There was an eerie lack of noise for a moment. Cue music playing in the background, an ambient, if somber piano piece.

      Time moved much faster. Within the span of several seconds, I observed water, foliage, and even sand and clay structures come and go. It was as if I'd witnessed a cycle of the world ending and beginning anew.

      Eventually, the visuals got very grainy. As new structures materialized, I noticed these having trite, blocky textures from Minecraft, the buildings being large, triangular roofed buildings constructed in an orderly array of sandstone, cobblestone, wood, and glass. Got annoyed at seeing as much, but at least these attained slightly more smoothed, less blocky textures in time.

      The scenery vanished for a moment, though uttering for more time fixed that. A low resolution cityscape then formed ahead, the buildings made of yellow-brown stone material.

      By then, I got a bit bored of this tour. So, I jumped right to conjuring up a more personally interesting sight, let's just say a woman to my taste. As I glance beside me, I'm surprised to see just as much in the distance. Yet, she appeared as animated in 3D, much like those ameteur "Poser" figures.

      I very much wanted to get her attention. Unfortunately, as I followed her, the scenery collapsed instantly, and I awaken.

      Haven't been having the best of days recently, which, in turn, adversely affected my focus and recall-ability. A few good dreams occurred in between, so it's not all bad.

      On the first of this month, I remembered about three or four dreams dreams, though I only remember scraps for most of these.
