Non-Lucid Dreams
Result of a few WILD attempts, not as good as yesterday or day before yesterday(I haven't posted both in DJ yet, need to find time to write them) but still one short lucid though, i need to practice to notice the shift to dreaming state. Nap #1(non-lucid): I and LV was playing an shmup video game with some sort of mspaint-ish graphics, i was controlling the level boss, LV was controlling the player character(both player and boss characters were girls). I was using various patterns looking at the list on the side of screen for the help on combos, LV was dodging them easily though. Then i figured out that being close to player character automatically shoots small projectiles every now and then. Eventually boss character ended up ramming player character and player character was somehow stuck outside of screen. Dream ended shortly after. Nap #2(non-lucid/lucid/FA): Not only i missed transition completely, but started the false awakening with closed eyes, i heard that my mom entered the room, but it wasn't unusual since sometimes she wakes up close to the time i was taking this nap. She started trying to wake me up so i opened the eyes and took off headphones, mom was indeed in the room, but before i could say anything i noticed that sound from headphones was still there, though i truly woke up shortly. Nap #3(non-lucid/fragment): I was shooting yellow lasers from my fingers and accidentally burned my food that way, whoops.

Rather meh dream recall today for some reason. I was back in the school times apparently and i had to go to some sort of literature class. I was a bit too late and was the teacher was shouting on me but i did not really cared much. Then everyone was given books and some other stuff and we were sent to a different classroom, i got 3 huge books of sorts and was reading them on the way, i had ability to read very fast apparently(don't remember what books were about though). Upon entering the other classroom i noticed that most of the classmates had twin for some reason. Also teacher said that i forgot something in other classroom so i had to go back and get it. It was some electronic device apparently(don't remember what but it was small), as i got back i continued reading and the dream faded out eventually.

Dream 1(fragments): I was on some sort of Dam and i and a few people were apparently supposed to protect it from something. Later i was searching evidence on something in some dark room. Dream 2: Apparently i was teaching how to lucid dream to my mom, next day she comes in and tells me that she had lucid dream by accidentally falling asleep while reading some sort of newspaper, she tells me the dream and i start seeing it from the side as an spectator(i don't remember it though). After she finishes i go back to normal view and congratulate her, then i go play some Warzone 2100. The map that i was playing had grid-like structure of hills with few entrance ramps onto each and there were alot of AI opponents, like at least 12 bases. I somehow managed to hold them off though using small group of units, i had artillery somewhere as well so i made 'Mantis Hover Truck' unit and built a sensor tower at the corner of the grid section my base was on. I managed to destroy a few bases and AI was taunting me through chat(AI don't uses chat IWL), dream ended soon after.

Dream recall is taking a break today it seems... Fragment 1: Something about gang wars, almost zero recall on this. Fragment 2: I was an VIP and i was in very decorated building, i think it was restaurant of sorts, then i decided to move to a different one. Fragment 3: Playing Akashicverse with some different attacks/patterns than original, also special attacks(methods) were upgradable.
I was playing some game, the first level was happening from first person perspective, the location was some cave and there was lava and some sort of castle, it ended on some sort of elevator(barely remember anything). The second level was 2D platformer and it was dependant on how fast 1st level was completed as well as a few other conditions related to stealth. Location was some sort of underground base area. I was replaying level a few times and the enemies in the first few areas were either some guards in black uniform or some small deformed mutants of two types, ones didn't had legs and were rolling around others had foot almost as big as their bodies and were jumping around. Either way there was cutscene in the middle of the level, again dependant on how 1st level was completed. If first part of level had guards then the cutscene was about some scientist going insane and turning everyone excluding player character and including himself into mutants, otherwise the cutscene was about collecting some data from computer and then being interrupted by mutated scientist. In both cases mutant scientist ran away into the second half of the level. It was filled with same mutants as the variant of first half, except there were also some triangle shaped mutants that could merge with the foot mutants creating something that looked like very distorted/mutated version of kirby. The level ended with the elevator similar to the first one. The third level and the levels later on were shmup levels, with the third level being dependant on the something from second level. The gameplay and player character looked like ones in shmup called Akashicverse, while background was similar to Dodonpachi Daioujou and most of enemies looked like built from virtual shapes similar to Warning Forever, except they were different colors. One of variations of the level had player weapon buffed with some additional yellow shots, that i in dream thought were dodonpachi-like. Dream was skipping levels beyond level 3. After completion of the game i was looking through resources and code of it for a while, and then i managed to do some edits. So next time i reached level 2 i was playing as the insane scientist! After the cutscene of mutation i moved him to the right and combined him with the triangle shaped mutant. Then i was having fun with that new thing. Dream ended shortly afterwards.

There was the princess and she sent me and a few other people on mission of some kind, when we were back the place(a building of some kind) apparently was captured by enemies, half of the people went to think up the way to get in silent way, while the other half got to prepare weapons and break in after. I was in 'weapons' group. I don't remember much what happened between, but now i and two more people were in some room that was made from ice, there was grate in the floor so we could see room below, there was wagon coming that was driven by some humanoid lions. In a bit i noticed that those are not humanoid lions, but the stealth group was apparently somehow carrying live lions of them and hiding in the wagon in a way that it looked like it was piloted by humanoid lions(how the...). After that one of group that i was in noticed some weird mechanic thing in a wall, dunno why but we decided to destroy it. We were using some kind of grenades that more looked like lumps of coal or something, also i had a few of yellow glowing grenades. One of people who were in group used some magic potion to set up station that increased damage that our grenades dealt, the 'station' looked like some yellow substance splashed on some random ice formation that was coming out of the floor. Touching it made yellow substance stick to my hands, and after that grenades that i threw indeed became more powerful. The mechanical thing had way too much hp, so i decided to use the yellow glowing grenades, explosions from them were amazing and huge, but the mechanical thing was still there. Dream ended shortly after that.

Dream 1: I was playing some maps/mods for Doom, apparently i have reached some sort of final map in the particular mod i was playing. One area looked like big room with floating crates connected by some sort of jumppads and there was very long fall down. Then there was part of the map where player character was on the roof of the movng train and it was hard because i had not only to fight numerous enemies but also to go between train panels just i time so train would not run into walls. Also there were moments where i had to use jumppads to jump from train to train during the movement. The next area was in outdoors and there was huuuuge mecha that i had to board, heavy use of jumppads and long range enemies. After a while dream skipped. I was playing different map now, i think i was playing multiplayer. It looked like base and there was as much outdoor areas as indoors. I was having hard time searching keycards/switches for doors for some reason. After i have reached elevator to the upper part of the map, dream skips again. I was apparently watching someone playing the final map of the mappack that base map was from. It looked like he was totally newbie at Doom but he managed to keep his cool. Map looked like it was mostly using red textures, and the structure of the map was really bizarre in a ways. It was like it looked simple at the start, but it was in fact maze of teleporters and switches. The player had very hard time navigating this, and often ended up running in circles. Later on there was outdoors section near the end, and there was the car. In the car there was chunk of the 'Pain Elemental'(One of the enemies in this game IWL) and once player came close enough chunk got cloned all over the place, all of them floated up in air and then cloned into rocks, falling down. Soon the whole map was only rocks. Dream ended. When i woke up i was doing some dream recall while not moving, and apparently managed to accidentally fall back asleep for a short period of time. Dream 2: I was preparing for bath and i remembered that i wanted to recall my dreams somehow. So i started recalling them while saying keywords to remember them better, because in the dream i did not had time to write DJ entry. Most of the keywords were relevant to the previous dream, like "jumppad, door, switch, mecha, train", one of the keywords was "joker" for some reason. Dream ended as soon as i finished the recall.

Couldn't recall much details today for some reason... Dream 1: I was in some wasteland area, there was war with some sort of corruption, corruption looked like some sort of green sludge. It formed into buildings that could produce black metallic sort of creatures. At some point dream shifted and i was searching something in some sort of spaceship. I was using ventilation system to hide and was jumping over giant fan at some point. Dream 2: I was playing clearly work in progress map in the game called 'Far Cry'. It started on one island and then there was rope road to the different island. Then there was enemy camp on that island, after clearing it out there was two paths that leaded into empty areas that were unfinished. Enemies were wandering aimlessly in those areas and i was trying to shoot them down using some assault rifle with scope and really bad accuracy. Dream ended soon.
Had hard time to get up today for some reason, basically forgetting to do dream recall until later on. I still have remembered 2 dreams though(somewhat). Dream 1(memorable): Can't remember most of the dream, but i remember part of the dream where i was running from gorilla(which looking surprisingly like Donkey Kong) and ending up near the forest entrance. It was some sort of mystic forest with all sorts of weird creatures around. I was wandering in it but i had an specific goal, which i think was to make specific creature my friend/partner or something. Soon i found the creature i have searched for, it looked like deer in general, but had rather predatory characteristics and their legs were structured more like the ones of big cats. Their fur was dark violet with dark dots. As soon as i approached they growled and ran away. After more search i have found another one of them, but this one had pure white fur and looked more amazing in general. It didn't ran away when i approached, but as soon as i tried to establish telepathic link, it growled and ran away as well. I exited the forest and somebody asked why i haven't got one, to which i responded: "I don't seem to be ready yet, i need more practice" or something along this line. Dream 2: Apparently we were preparing all stuff possible to move from our house to the other one, the reason was that that the house was slightly on fire, though fire was rather static and not spreading or anything. Most of the time we were just figuring out what to grab next. Dream ended at some point.
Dream recall didn't worked as well because i did accidentally moved as soon as i woke up, but i still remembered most of major parts. Apparently i was living in the family of thieves(They looked nothing like my IWL family but my dream self still referred to them as is), we had alot of stuff and we had a few places in different cities that we moved between from time to time. Also we had some console and i was playing some games on it(don't remember them at all ). As we were moving to another place, we decided to steal a bit of stuff from some food stand, and we did so successfully. As we got to another of our places, we had a meal that we cooked from the food that we just got, and it was very tasty. There were some detectives after us the whole time, but they were always failing to spot anything about us. Until now. Some detective entered our place and started checking for things, apparently he had found a note book and that somehow told him that i murdered some important person(?). The detective ended up being killed, but more were coming so we ran away from the place. Dream skips. I was alone in some sort of airport place, very bored. I opened menu, pressed save, then pressed exit. Dream faded out.
Somewhat more interesting this time, can't remember most of the dream though. I was in the school, there were strange portal anomalies scattered around that turned it in almost some sort of maze, and apparently they were somewhat dangerous to travel through as well. Someone was poking his hand into one of them and the hand got chewed out by something on the other side. At some point i was going through a few as well, the other side looked more grayish and colorless. Later i was trying to meet certain person and we got into situation that we were close but there was portal anomaly between us. On the other side of the portal as i checked in same place as that person was completely different person. Eventually we found the way around portals to meet up. Then i went to the 4th floor, i was checking stuff in the backpack and apparently there were three colored note books. Three girls came and apparently they liked those note books when they saw them and wanted to get them. They offered ice cream for exchange for those note books, but i said that i should check what had in them but we can exchange tomorrow. As i was checking backpack further, some teacher was standing with kid near window and was explaining to him that he has all sorts of plants but spiked ones. Then i noticed the tables with food in the hall and i was hungry, so i started eating that food. Soon classmate came here and said that there's some interesting information on the top floor and that we should get there. As we were going upstairs dream ended.
Again, don't remember the start of the dream and some details I was in some building and there is some political stuff going on, some political people apparently preparing some foods and i and some other person have to choose the ones which will be on some festival or something. The foods are ridiculous, there are huge cakes, many foods of sorts in form of various buildings, places and stuff. And ofcourse to choose stuff we'll have to try it! It was delicious and also i was consuming one of the 'building' foods a whole at some point and hearing somebody making kirby joke of sorts. Then i decide to go on walk somewhere, exiting building apparently brings me to the exit of the house i live in IWL, so i go to the park from there. On the way i notice some weird alley, entering it i notice alot of mongrel dogs sleeping there. I somehow know that it's time to return to the building, on the way i meet dad and we both go back to the building. The political people have heated discussion on where to place airport, and since they can't decide on anything i have to choose the place apparently. There's some sort of holo-table which is used for choosing where to place airport, i place it somewhere. After that i was apparently congratulated by some president-looking person, everyone goes to the table and we all eat cake that looks like Empire State Building or something similar. Dream ends there.
Dream recall fails me again, so i only remember stuff near the dream end. I was in some sort of the castle, there were some sort of outside part of a castle which had lab on it. It was connected to the castle with sort of drawbridge. When i got into it the viewpoint switched and i was controlling some other character with Resident Evil 4 like controls, i remember killing a few zombies then viewpoint got back to first person. I grabbed something from the lab and went back to the castle. In some other room in the castle there was PC, i played some Warzone 2100 on it, apparently it worked somewhat different then original, scavengers were more overpowered and i apparently had view over the whole map. After a while all the bases turned into something like scavenger base and the graphics were glitched, unit models were getting occasionally replaced by building models, also i was building random walls in some places for no reason. Don't remember if i won or lost, but i went back to the lab. I collected some items: some sort of pill from the pile of pills, big sort of beaker which was hidden under some boxes and some sort of solid brown liquid/jello thingie which was hidden in one of boxes. Also i moved some really huge beaker to the entrance to block it off, but some sort of girl apparently managed to jump through window. She was interested in what i was doing and i decided to tell her about what i was doing(don't remember what exactly but it was related to sleeping or putting someone to sleep). I was doing some stuff with items i got, also i did noticed that there are some beds scattered around the lab. Dream ends.
I was playing some sort of top-down 'roguelike' shooter(roguelike according to dream, don't think it can be classified as one since it was in real-time not turn based), my player character was an sphere, apparently i was playing with some LP'er in multiplayer. We were on small maze'ish map and apparently we have spawned in different places of the level. We eventually found each other and proceed to the exit. Now we were in some big wooden hall with 3 height levels connected by stairs, i was in game from first person now instead of controlling normally. As we was choosing another map i noticed an light switch. I flicked it a few times, and each time there was same choir coming from somewhere below. Now we have started another map, i was controlling sphere again from top-down. Map was spiral like, and we have found badly placed trees that had right enough space to go in between, leading right to the exit, but we have decided to use normal path for the sake of recording. LP'er suddenly ran into bunch of hard enemies and his player character died, i went to that place and started shooting some small spheres at those enemies, who were spheres as well. It was hard, but after some ridiculous dodging i managed to kill all six of them, i have looked at map(which was Doom like) and it showed that only 2 out of 8 enemies were killed apparently. I have revived LP'er but apparently he was refusing to get up. Suddenly we get teleported back to the wooden halls, view switches to first person and LP'er character is now an black cat apparently. He's saying that he's too sleepy to continue. I flick the 'choir switch' a few more times, and wake up shortly.
Don't remember much of this dream, was woken up abruptly, thus was having hard time remembering stuff. I was in some room, watching videos on the monitor. There were bunch of people around me, mostly random people, but parents were there too. Apparently we were watching some sort of news channel, there was stuff like planes crashing and ships sinking on it, i was laughing for some reason. That continued for some time until like half of people left to do some other things, then i switched to some animation video, which had mix of characters from different cartoons, animation series and games(don't remember most of them tho), in one of episodes that i remember, Duke Nukem was shooting at some enemies in the desert and then running super-fast into some sort of hanger. At the end of the dream i was thinking if i should go to sleep or continue watching(Ahaha).
