I rode my bike to this hotel that was nearby to sit and do homework. The hotel was located near a beach. The hotel building itself wasn't too eye-catching but the surroundings expressed a sense of Nordic summer beauty. Behind the hotel was a forest with flourishing wild nature, and in front of the hotel was a large area filled with chairs and grey parasols. The weather was warm but not too hot, as it was kept in balance by the occasional chilly wind. The sun was shining with no clouds in the sky and the atmosphere was generally very comfortable. The hotel was very lively, with people walking around and some just relaxing in the chairs or at the beach. Most days I would go to the hotel to do homework and go back home to my student accommodation at the end of the day. But today I was at the hotel with the rest of my family to participate in some weird beach activity where we would ride dolphins. It almost ended with some of us getting eaten by sharks though. Later that same day, a little girl was sitting under a parasol with her grandma and they offered me a sandwich that was wrapped in white wrapping paper. I accepted it but didn't eat it immediately, and eventually forgot about it. I went back to my student accommodation and arrived at the hotel the next day. The atmosphere felt very ominous. The sky was light grey, it was slightly chilly and only a few people were at the hotel, besides that there were a bunch of policemen and an ambulance with medics standing around someone. I walked closer to see what was going on. I saw the drowned and semi-rotten corpses of the grandma and little girl who had given me that sandwich the other day. Their skin had a slight green tint to them, like they were moulding from the inside. Their skin was also torn with some visible flesh. It would be fairly unpleasant to see, but it didn't bother me much and I just went home with my family who were still there for some reason. Everything hotel-related took place outside, I never entered the hotel. So we got home and I went to the kitchen and closed the door behind me. I turned forward to see the little girl's and grandma's rotten corpses sitting while laying over the kitchen table. My heart sank, I felt intensely sick and scared. I tried calling for my parents but the words couldn't leave my mouth. I was stuttering too much and couldn't raise my voice at all. I then noticed the sandwich they gave me lying on the table. I slowly walked over to the table and slightly touched it. As soon as I touched it, the corpses start impulsively shaking, like they were getting electrocuted. The sudden movement shocked me. As they continued shaking I saw the grandmas eyes start to move, and she locks eyes with me. It was like a scene out of a horror movie. I was terrified and ran to the living room. When I got to the living room I saw my mom standing there, she was slightly leaning forward while holding her face with her palms, groaning. I noticed she was rapidly rotting and drying up, I also saw my sister in another room experiencing the same thing. I quickly ran to my little brothers room to see a completely shrivelled up and rotten corpse. He was dead. My whole family was dead. I then for some reason knew the grandma was gonna come to kill me. The fear of getting hunted down mixed with the overwhelming grief I felt in my heart was so unbearable that i quickly grabbed a knife and stabbed myself in the stomach to end the suffering. Then I woke up. Please comment your thoughts!

Several different scenarios, all connected by a feeling. What would normally have been permeated by fear or a sense of dread was instead punctuated by calm and happiness... First encounter: There was this large collection of skyscrapers, interconnected by a kind of airport-esque system of subways and elevators. I was trying to reach my floor, where I was to attend what was, to the best of my memory, a job/lecture. My boss/professor was similar to my college history professor, a distinctly British man. Strange I cannot distinguish between this being my vocation or just a college class. I had several encounters in the buildings/elevators/subways with both strangers and familiar faces. At a certain point, the main entrance to my building was closed, and I struggled to find another way inside. Second: I was with my family, I believe we were discussing politics in an outdoor pavilion. Fairly out of the ordinary for my family to do this. I was to travel to our beach house, and I think my dad was waiting for me there. I can't remember the details of this encounter, but I do recall the feeling distinctly. It was a kind of sickly/sweet happiness, like a fabricated ease. Only upon waking did I question the fact I was feeling so at ease in these dreams. But it did make for an unusually enjoyable experience. Third: I was at a concert or possibly a music festival, it was nighttime. Once again, I encountered both strangers and friends. I was walking around, it was red and black, kind of carnival-like. Some members of one my bands were there and we exchanged words. I think it was friendly. A part that sticks out was a singer preforming a Led Zeppelin tune and forgetting the lyrics. One moment she put the mic in front of an audience member, who sang the incorrect lyrics to the song. She scoffed at him and moved on. Eventually I took over and began singing the bridge portion of Stairway to Heaven. I remember being quite pleased that I was able to hit the high notes pretty well, but nobody seemed to take notice. I wish I had recorded these dreams immediately upon waking. They were still so fresh and vivid this morning. I can only remember fragments and feelings now. But these encounters really gave me a strong, new feeling. It was powerful enough to make me journal them. I hope to continue these recordings as regularly as I can, and ideally get to a point where lucidity would be possible...
Stripping Process: I'm walking in my waking life local downtown area towards Oregano's pizzeria. I'm with my girlfriend's family. We've just picked her up. She's back from travel. We go into the pizzeria building on the corner, but when we get inside it is my childhood home. I decide I need to take a shower, so I head downstairs towards the laundry room. As I'm stripping down, the names of process specifications from work are going through my head. I'm reviewing them, and looking for one in particular. The United States of Not In This Room: Now I'm watching Markiplier play some Five Nights At Freddy's-like game. There is an inventory at the top of the screen, with two cupcake icons taking up two out of five slots. The cupcakes can be used to determine if one of the monsters is currently hiding the room. I think about the strategy of that, about whether it makes sense to cover up two slots in exchange for that ability. Mark decides to use one, and it indicates that the room is safe. "Welcome to the United States of NOT IN THIS ROOOOOOOOOOM!" says Mark with his typical lively delivery. Hello my name is Markiplier and I'm in your dream now. Fragment: I'm with J from work. He's excitedly showing me some drilled holes in an assembly. He's excited because they are super smooth.

Returning: I'm at a small apartment or house rental with my girlfriend. Her parents have just arrived. They have flown in. I hug my girlfriend's Mom and sarcastically tell her long time no see. I know that we had just been on a trip with them recently. Fragment: Something JRPG related, probably because I've been watching Delicious in Dungeon lately.

i was walking outside (nighttime) with a group of friends, David, Misha and more, we found this cart with boxes and David gave me a box, then the pople who owened them came and i was expecting a beef so i took Misha and ran into this dark alleyway and wanted to hide, i was quite far down when i finally realised it is a dream so i did a check (+1) and wanted to get back to my friends, i went trough thease gardens and it was really dark, i lost my vision entirely and then 'took off' my sleep mask to be sitting with my group again, dude started dissing me for sleeping while he was talking, but they were pretty chill, we left and walked trough this underpass to a metro station, it was day on the other side and i figured ill start on my point tasks, i did a quick check again and then spun for stabilisation, jumped trough this glass front of a store and then a big pillar because i wasnt sure if the glass was thick enough (+10), then i asked for wings and felt them pop out on my back (+5), i was standing in a building with a circle hole in the roof and saw clouds change color really fast, i took off and flew trough the hole, found the moon in the sky and went for it (+10) i passed a terraria sky island structure out of minecraft blocks and flew trough a cluster of glowstone (maybe that was the moon), didnt see the moon after that, just a purple vortex/nebula thing i flew into, my vision darkened and i eventually found myself sitting at an outside table of a chineese restaurant with my family, there was a calculator in my noodles, next time i looked at it it was a phone and i tried to unlock it (+5), took the plate to the kitchen (+2), and they wanted to know our least expensive item to make it free, i went back and my grandpa was kinda agitated and i just dropped a glass on the pavement (not in anger) in our conversation and noone reacted, i figured i dont need to listen to this and left, i cast some lightnings (+10) to hit poles (not Polish people) around me and one of my attempts spawned a barrage of flaming arrows (+?) over my head almost looking like fireworks, i saw 'unloaded' buildings without windows and most other features and then wanted to play truth or dare with someone so i began searching for people my age, i saw a dog as i was running trough this crowd and made him big and beasty (+5), he began to wreck havoc so i phased into a shoping mall trough a wall, then i did it again to get to a neighboring room, it was an office with a woman who looked unfaithfull, proppably with her boss, she told me to leave and i said i know what she did so she better think about what she does and i woke up pretty soon after that - a reality check +1 - walking trough a wall +10 - partial transformation (wings) +5 - fly to space +10 - interact with technology +5 - interact with a dream character +2 - elemental manipulation (lightning) +10 - making a dog into a beast +5 - unintentional fire arrows (+?) sum = 48
Wasn't necessarily doing any LD technique, but I was aware that I was dreaming and I'm sad I don't know how I made it work, didn't eat, drink or do anything special. I first dreamed about my sibling and I staying at my dad's shop in the middle of a Tatooine-esque desert area. While they were asleep, I got this clothing brand our family apparently gots according to this dream and changed the design from some old 90s cartoon squirrel to a different design. I then traveled somewhere and saw a group of people dressed like squirrels wear the new design. I then go back to the shop where my sibling just woke up, about to give a press conference confused as he noticed a bunch of squirrel costumes wearing the new design that he has no clue what they're doing. I then take his place and tell the crowd to check their clothing's tags, which leaves them surprised. The crowd felt so real I actually felt a little bit of anxiety when I stood behind the podium facing them.. I then see a girl carrying a passed out girl on a slide, I hold hold them as the three of us go down the slide, burning our asses off! As I try and hold both girls in my hand, I slowly wake up in my bed again. As I'm lying in my bed, two people put this glass casing around me, telling me to "go back", I touch with the casing and I can actually feel the glass. After consenting them to return, the glass case lits up and I fly through space, returning to the area from my previous dream! The passed out girl has now disappeared and I join this space crew to search for her through worlds. We first turn into fish and explore different aquatic worlds, with the female crew members having explicit sex with the fish in exchange for information for some reason (idk bruh maybe it's the abstinence) after some info, we finally retrieve the girl on one of the fish planets and as the crew returns to their ship, inviting me, I bring the girl to my own space ship. As we teleport back to the ship and return to our human forms doing so, I arrive in my Starbound-like spaceship where I see myself in the art style similar to Starbound as I speak to the space ship's computer in textbox format and use my hand to put all the items in storage, receiving a generous donation of fruit and cakes from one of the female crew members I recruited. I teleport to my home planet, the Tatooine-esque desert town where I recruit my friend who's working at a deadend job as a hotdog seller or something, but briefly teleport him back as his greedy boss hadn't paid him out yet. As my friend doesn't want to face him, I use the force choke from Star Wars to get every penny out of the boss as bystanders watch without interfering. I then get woken up by my dog who's loudly crying in the living room :') Kinda wanna play Starbound now, though.
non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid FA / AP False awakening in my teenage bedroom at my mom's. I check the time and it's 4 am. My mom is awake watching tv on the sofa and I find Riverstone sleeping on her bedroom for some reason. But I don't disturb either of them. I go back to my room and try to close the door silently. I feel strangely awkward to be here. But then I hear my grandpa's cane on the hallway and think "Oh, in this dream reality, grandpa is still alive?". So I open the door and I see him heading to the bathroom. My mom is helping him and surprised to see me awake. I decide to come out and say I'm happy to see them and ask them what year is this. They look at me as if I lost my mind. I insist and tell them I am not who they think I am, that I am a different version who comes from the future and is just dreaming this. They think I am mocking them and start to be upset, but still reveal that it's before 2020. So then I proceed to tell them what is going to happen, especially the pandemic, but also some natural catastrophes down the pipe, as proof I'm from the future. But of course, this will only prove correct when it actually happens. Then I notice some things don't fit exactly into my own timeline, so maybe this is a different timeline where those things don't happen. The house is in fact different. The laundry room doesn't exist, there are different rooms in different places, then I check the kitchen's window and realize this is a house on the ground floor and not on the 4th floor. Also, there is a forest outside covered in snow. Then i see in the distance that there is a forest fire, despite the snow. The fire is gaining strength and coming towards us. it is so intense that it is melting the snow and turning it into a torrent of water also coming towards us. I yell at my family that the house will burn in a fire and for them to pick up whatever is most important and leave. Then remember "Are there any pets?" and they proceed to name them and bring forward carriers to put them in. Some new aunt I never had IRL comes up with some small dogs and puts them in the carriers. Three go on the carriers and a 4th has to be carried by hand. Then someone says "Bring the monkeys!" and they come with a cage with two monkeys. Then I notice I am just in a t-shirt and underwear but there is no time to dress anything else as we exit the house. We take shelter in a huge hardware store in town. We stay there for a while and some pervert uncle I now have starts making advances on me, first offering me gifts and grooming me, then later cornering me in dark places of the store, trying to grope me. I avoid him and he starts chasing me. Although the store is working and people shopping in it, no one offers to help, it's as if we don't exist. I climb on top of shelves and let stuff fall on the ground, but everything is business as usual in the store. I take a run for the door through a long corridor and manage to lose him. Then cross some bridge over a river, not walking it through, but instead by hanging myself from under it as if it's monkey bars, because I don't want him to see me. On the other side I land in the middle of a group of students making plans to go to a concert and they invite me to go with them.
I was dreaming that I was at some gathering, and this black fashion dude who vaguely resembles this dancer-model I know got this purple streetwear outfit in the mail which he showed to me, the white and purple patterns suiting him. It might have been a house party or something where we were, but for whatever reason my mom showed up. When I saw her, I randomly pulled out my customer service voice asking her if she needed anything, pretending not to know who she was and we went to a different room where I talked about how embarrassed I was that she was there, bringing up this random memory from when she took me to her friend's daughter's birthday party in 2009 and I just sat there crying because I didn't want to be there. She then left and I sat by myself, contemplating what just happened, and started crying, my mom then appeared again to comfort me. I apologised and told her I feel bad about moving to a different country sometimes because I'm so far away from everyone. Then I woke up. I miss my family and my mom
Coffee Splash: I'm in a long square-like room, sort of like a trailer. My Grandpa R has just died, and his casket is on display. I keep thinking that the body is going to stand up. Highly emotional feelings. My Dad is there with me. We're tasked to set the casket aflame in some ritual and we are hesitating to do it. Later in this process the casket goes down a serpentine system of pipes into fluid. ... Later I am in a huge banquet hall-like building, with a theater attached. I'm walking over to a concessions stand. I find a couple of fruits with barcode stickers and try to scan them. A woman nearby says that this cannot be bought, even though the scan goes through. ... I've come home to my current garage. There is a small circular folding table setup. My laptop is setup there, and my brother has an identical one setup for him next to it. My sister is with us as well. I'm having an argument with my brother. He thinks I'm being too easy-going, and not allowing our sister to mourn. This makes me angry, because I want to deal with grief my own way. I notice a cold mug of coffee on the table, and I splash it in his face. Trying to remove myself from the situation, I start to pick-up and leave. My brother grabs my laptop's power cord, preventing me from going. I wake up angry. Shooting for the Girl: I'm on a roadtrip with my girlfriend, her mom, and a young guy. The guy is a friend of my girlfriend's mom, and I suspect that she is positioning him as my replacement. I'm checking out at the counter, buying some snacks. I pay for the guy's food, trying to be cordial. He seems to appreciate it, not outwardly trying to steal my girlfriend. He is friendly. We leave and head outside. We are driving a large semi-truck. A middle-eastern looking man follows us outside and seems angry. He points out that I'm carrying wrappers, and going to make a mess in the car. I notice a dumpster nearby and try to basketball-shoot the crumpled wrappers into it. My shot is miserable. Embarrassed, I pick-up the clump and place it in the dumpster. I'm worried that bad shot just affected my chances against the guy. Game Night: I'm playing a Yu-Gi-Oh inspired card game with my girlfriend. Taking just a couple turns, I've already cleared her side of cards and attacking her life points. The values on the cards are in the single digits. ... Later I'm playing a mid-generation Pokemon game. Looks like it might have been DS or 3DS era, with animated 2D sprites. I'm controlling a Magneton, except it is made from four Magnemites instead of the usual three. I use an attack called Tetraelectro Blast or something similar. The animation has four distinct stages with accompanying sound. Basically, it looks accurate to the games. ... I'm in a Yu-Gi-Oh duel with someone in a large empty warehouse. The atmosphere is dark and foreboding. We have fully 3D virtual monsters, like in the show. My opponent has summoned the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. But it is multiplying. Four heads. Five heads. Six heads... It's the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Hydra now. The entire warehouse is filled with the oppressively huge heads and necks of the monster. This monster gets so comically large that I'm nearly trapped by the slithering necks moving around me. I see a light on my left side. I duck by one of the snaking necks and escape. The Blue-Eyes Ultimate Hydra. Made with Bing Image Creator AI. False Awakening: I wake up and start telling my girlfriend about the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Hydra. She has put a couple Monster Energy drinks on the foot of the bed for me. My room is perfectly rendered, down to the real-life detail that my girlfriend is up early for an important work meeting. I go over to the bathroom and look in the mirror. I see that my eyes are large and white, with the pupils faded like a blind person's. I start to freak out and wonder what is wrong! The eyes correct themselves after I blink a few times.

Climbing to Stability: I'm at the canal where I exercised a lot earlier this year. It's the day time. I'm with my girlfriend and we are rising into the air. I'm holding a rope, and I indirectly perceive that she is holding onto me, or is with me in some other way. When I will it, a balloon floating up above inflates, which pulls the rope upward higher into the sky. My girlfriend and I ascend higher and higher into the sky, with the rope being only thing keeping the both of us from falling. I have an expectation that when we reach a certain height, a support will form so that we can be safe. ... Later I'm still with my girlfriend, but now we are more obviously on a date. We are at a sort of marketplace with indoor and outdoor sections. There is a central register desk with some clothes and other merchandise set-up around it. This feels sort of like a foreign country, with smaller roads and streets. I'm following her and I see that her hair is longer than it normally is. ... I'm now standing in my Great-Grandma's condo, looking at a picture of my girlfriend from the back. The visual is the same, with the longer hair. Essentially a screenshot. There is a second picture of her starting to turn around and look at the camera. I realize that my Great-Grandma has recently died (within the dream's story, not really) and I am there to help clean up the condo. I go to her bedroom and see that my brother and sister are there watching something on her old small TV. My brother is on a futon, and my sister is on a second bed. My Great-Grandma's bed is empty, but I hesitate to get on it because it looks dusty. Plus, the idea that she may have recently died in it spooks me. I sit on the second bed next to my sister and join the group. My sister asks if we can reorient the bed so that it is in line with the TV, rather than the side. I tell her "I sleep on my side anyway, so it works out." ... At some point later at the condo, I put on a VR headset. I'm now in an ocean inspired by the Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker, with the cell shaded deep blue colors. This was some sort of MMO, with many other players occupying the ocean. I'm in a boat and controlling the world with my voice. I ask for an engine to be on the back of my boat, and it happens. My speed increases and the whine of the device whirs to life. I decide that I want to be funny, so I ask for the One-Piece straw hat to be on my head. I find a mirror-like surface to look, and it indeed has appeared. I pilot the boat over to a group of people and zoom past, while doing a poor King of the Hill accent "dang-ol-motor-boat-I-tell-you-hwat!" Eventually I reach what looks like a large garage door on the edge of the ocean. It's currently up, so I go beyond it. At some point I lose my boat behind it and get put back on the Ocean side, with the door now down. I'm not concerned about losing the boat, but I spy an island on the horizon that I want to swim to. Recorded after 7.5hrs of sleep.

Went to bed around 11:30PM. Berries with the Tots: I'm with JM and JV from the Tots group. We're at a store modeled after the Pokémon Centers from various Pokémon games. There is a deli nearby in the same store selling lunchmeat, as well as Pokémon merchandise lining shelves on the walls. I'm looking at some berries, and the perspective changes such that I'm using a menu to scroll sideways through the different berry options. There are arrows up and down to change the quantity of berries to buy. There is a price that dynamically updates as well. Recorded at 5AM. Kitten in the Kitchen: I'm at a house. I get the impression it is a new thing, as in somebody has just bought it or started a rental arrangement. There is a front door area with a kitchen on the left. There is a mudroom type area on the right. The layout is vaguely similar to my parents' old home in northern Michigan. I'm standing in the kitchen near a plate with some food on it. There is a small kitten near the plate, attracted to the food. The kitten is black and longhaired, similar to how one of my cats from childhood, Oreo, used to look. I pickup the kitten to show it to my girlfriend who is in the kitchen nearby. I get the impression the situation is a 'meet the parents' type scenario. ... I'm with my Grandma P in a bedroom area from the same house. She seems to be sharpening chopsticks to resell as a business. Recorded at 6:45AM. 254 words for the night.
I always loved going back to old memories through dreams. To recreate my childhood home and the white-painted window sill with the little chips of wood in it. How it opened horizontally. To remember the shape of the bathroom rug, and that heater lamp in the corner by the floor. To use one of those old bulky televisions from the 1990s, hooked up to Broadband satellite with Nickelodeon on channel 300. It's incredible the things we consciously forgot. We have a treasure trove of seemingly forgotten memories inside of us. As a dreamer, I take full advantage of my access to them. One of my favorite pastimes is to eat food I used to enjoy in the past that can no longer be bought. The spring rolls from my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in 2014, the sweetened condensed coffee and chicken saute from another, saag and rice from the first Indian takeout I ever went to. It was amazing. I've never had anything like it since, and may never again—except literally any night I please. Ah, but last night wasn't pleasant. I dreamed I found an old family album. It's one I've never seen before, and it occured to me that this dream album contained all my missing photos (any that I want it to contain). That's why it looked new. It was just for this. There's a lot of family memories I'll never be able to relive—old photos that are gone, copies of my mom's songs... So I thought now's the opportunity. I can get back some of those memories. I'll never lose them. I may never again hear the recordings of her voice or see her smiling face during waking, but I'll always have this album in my dream home to look at any time I want to remember her again. I couldn't... Just sat there sobbing in my miserable dream. My SO woke me up, says I was acting distressed in my sleep. Well, this entry took a turn for the sad. Whoops.
I dream that I am living with a family in an apartment on top of a big theatre/convention center. I exit the apartment and explore the theatre where everyone working there applauds for me; doormen, wardrobe workers, visitors, etc. my German family is there as well as it takes place im Berlin, It's raining and I start sprinting around the building in laps at a decent tempo, during each lap, someone joins me and we greet each other as we go around, during each lap they all grow and develop, for example one of the guys does the sprint on a unicycle. In the meantime, I'm still the same. Someone asks about my growth and then says it because they're following my journey as a rockstar. The music in the background then has someone grunt in metal style saying "that is a rockstar" as well as inaudible words repeatedly with a guitar riff in the background as some sort of intro. That's when I woke up!
Learning Indian I'm with an Indian family at a restaurant. It looks like Snakes and Lattes and we are in the corner we sat in for I's bachelor party some months back. But the table is oriented slightly differently. The dad is teaching my girlfriend and I how to speak Indian. He shows me a few words that sound like throat noises. He tells us that the meaning depends a lot on the pitch and speed of the sound. I tell him there is a word in my language like that, referring to fuck. The family knows what I mean, and busts out laughing. Grandma at the County Fair I'm at a country fair. My grandma is excited to be involved and she is running and jumping and dancing more than someone her age should be. Sometime later we are watching a video of her at the event at her home later in a closet or tight hallway. Fragment There is some kind of infiltration operation happening. Me and another person are approaching an abandoned looking home. Feels very dangerous. Sexy Rides It’s sunny out and I’m with my family. I’m married and I have kids. Im standing in front of a large black truck. It has been painted in non glossy coating and looks dope. Himawari from Boruto Next Generations is my daughter. She’s asking if me and mom are going to stay together. SG from WL shows up and I know she isnt my wife. She’s wearing a sexy black dress. She likes the car. I reflect on marriage and commitments.

I’m in what feels like a casino restaurant. There are some others here, family?, and we’re eating what seems like dinner. The meal, every part of it - spaghetti, sausage, and something else - is delicious. I think we’re done now and get up. Nat, Kass, and Rob are here in the kitchen? We learn that they are the ones who have cooked this, each responsible for a different portion.
