Yay, an epic dream/recall, also visiting friend's home somehow.

Dream 1(fragments):

There were three teams of two people each, and i was somehow switching between being in each of them, we were doing some stuff and were searching for something in the city. I recall each team used a different car for traveling around the city and one of the teams used some kind of van. We were not caring about any rules or laws during our search, and were breaking through some fences and such, also we had some kind of abilities. Later on we have found some burning car, but it was not what we were searching.

Dream 2:

I was apparently visiting SilentEternity's home which for some reason was also not so far from mine's. There were some people who were saying that they are SilentEternity's relatives but SilentEternity himself wasn't there, they were saying that he's sleeping, the talk by the way was going through an IRC popup window of some kind instead of actual talking. I was in some L-shaped room of the house and there were alot of boxes, for some reason Auron lived there too, i was trying to set up a multiplayer game of some kind but there was a problem with 7-zip license and internet was not working properly. Then soon i was beyond the time at which i usually go to sleep and i didn't know what's better to do. The dream skipped.
I was in some kind of video game, i was in sandy ruins/dungeon and i was picking up some items and dodging some grey insectoid looking things. Then some characters appeared and it turned into some defense mission where we had to defend the passage into ruins from attacking enemies. After that it turned into some talk about that i was a demon and i fought a big enemy to regain the power. The power let me levitate in place and release an red shockwave that was very powerful.
I went to the different level which was some technological looking place with a generator and was going through it with ease. Then game switched to 2D and i got to a cutscene which i have never seen before because wasn't taking this story route before. It involved a big screen flashing with tons of error messages quickly and then some pixel space invader-looking thing emerging from it. It then spawned a ton of pixel people who formed a shield in front of it and also were shooting small projectiles aimed at me. I immediately used the demon power and in a few hits 'shield' was destroyed, but the enemy couldn't be damaged directly so had to uncover some marks in the background by destroying terrain.
I was back with team and we were at some grey, desolated, land. We talked about something and we had two ways to go. One way got us through some fields, where two factions of various animals were having a war, but i was pretty sure they were just pretending, also one of them that was on neutral side was following us and wisely talking about some philosophy. Soon we were back at desolated place and we were having a talk again, this time the talk was about my powers, and i had to split from the team and go different direction.
Now i was in the forest, it looked familiar, i navigated a few paths and soon found an silver sword. Then after some more navigating there was a pack of angry wolves attacking me, way too many to handle with normal weapons, and i didn't wanted to use the demon power because it wasn't worth using it versus that. I got some syringes that were inducing sleep and used them, while fighting using silver sword. Silver sword was able to kill them in one hit, but it broke in like three hits. They dropped antidotes that looked like ones from Deathtrap Dungeon and completely useless, also they dropped more sleep inducing syringes and some silver swords. Also wolves kept respawning very quickly so i had to retreat and hide.
Soon they formed an very big group and it was very in the way of where i was going, i tried to sneak around but was noticed and attacked again. Suddenly i found out that i have an sawblade, that looked like one from Half-life 2, in my inventory. Wolves were chasing me in a straight line, like a simple AI, so i used telekinesis power, which i apparently had as well, to quickly throw sawblade, which went through whole line, getting rid of a problem at once.
I looked around and found what i was looking for, an big enemy base. I selected rocket launcher from my inventory and exploded a few buildings but i had not enough ammo, so i switched to a cannon, but soon was out of ammo as well. I complained that this level has not enough ammo for the objective to be doable and selected some other gun and continued ruining base with it + demonic power. Soon the dream ended.

Night of the 30

2:00- woke up. Not much I can recall. There were two people dressed in black who got in a motorcycle wreck. Someone unmasked them or something. They were part of different groups or teams who were rivals. That's the bulk of my recall. There was a brunette girl but nothing seriously happened with her I remember. *There was something about grades and a house with a tea set. It's very fuzzy.

7:06- Little brother woke me. I slept past the alarms. Dang. Anyway, I know I dreamed but now i can't remember it. I'll work on my recall more when the state tests are over. Now things are just busy.

I find myself outside a tall building, at its highest point obscured by the clouds above. My several companions and I walk towards the entrance confidently, but cautiously. As we get right outside the door, a piece of the building itself speaks to us in the voice of an old bitter woman and cackles.

"You'd better hurry, I'm coming for you!" She is the voice of the lava the building is sitting on! We rush in and realize the floor is bubbling and the room is filled with several tiers of yellow blocks. Immediately, my team and I start jumping around the room to search for the item we were sent there to retrieve. Somebody shouts they've found it, but lets it slip from her hands and fall to the bottom of the room. I instinctively dive for it, snag it, and continue my way up to the top of the building. It is a small, 8-bit Mario shaped eraser.

The room is now erupting from all corners with pillars of fires and I'm struggling more and more the climb the now "artificial rock-climbing" face of the walls. I finally get the level I need to be, where I meet eyes with another member of my team blocking my path to the right. Time freezes for a minute or so, though we're both still thinking clearly. Once things start moving again, I use all the strength I have left to climb over to the goal. I pull the eraser out of my pocket and place it in a small indent. It transforms into a a Princess Peach eraser.

All the danger subsides and glide to the bottom of the tower. My team is there to greet me, I we walk out together feeling like winners.

I was traveling, either to Dumaguete or to Manila. I was in a Ceres bus terminal. The place Bais also went to my mind. Solimar was there, when we were in the bus terminal's comfort room. Mood/Theme: faded yellow and black. Night.

I was part of a sports team. Not sure what sport. There were a lot of us. It was after a game, or some time after a game. The coach will treat us to a restaurant. We're not sure what restaurant, so we opted for Mang Inasal (I'm not sure if it's called that in the dream). Coach ordered a "bucket" of chicken inasal, but I find it too small. And there's no rice. I wanted rice, so I ordered my own meal of chicken inasal with rice.

I was on the airport. An airplane. I was going to Manila. The mood changed from dull yellow to sunny day.

Short fragment this time, branching off from the previous fight.

I'm back on the battlefield, sitting on the ground, there are loads of boots on the floor and I am looking for a pair better than mine, again the HUD pops up and I can see each boots stats. There is some epic boots but the armour value isn't very high (1500 for some reason), so I find some more scruffy ones with an armour value of 8000.

Panoramic view, there is two warriors standing near a dock, the women is wearing what seems to be similar to Oblivion guard armour, equiped with a bow. The guy is clad in thick rusty plate (may have been thick leather) and is the tank of the two.
I am watching from above as they take out two guards and begin to walk up to the port, the women sending an arrow straight into the guards neck, while the guy sweeps his sword into the side.

I zoom out of the dream and it seems to be as if I was watching from youtube.
Fade.

Game Related Ideas

1. A game with a kind-of a kingdom hearts feel.
2. You could also go with a sandbox style game.
3. I have some music I wrote up which is still in the works.
4. There would be some evil beings on the dream plane that are invading the waking world and this guy has to learn to lucid dream to stop them.
5. As you progress in the game, you learn new "dream control" abilities...like flying, super sprint, teleportation, etc.
6. You could also face certain obstacles that you have to overcome. Walls, bad guys (or cops ), dark regions and such. You could go different ways (per your sandbox idea), to get away from problems, and call on your abilities as appropriate.
7. You can slowly lose a power like getting heavy while flying...or losing lucidity!
   

Administrative ideas

1. I think we need to recruit more people from this forum to help with the project. Anyone reading this, even if there is nothing you think you can do, trust me there is. Please volunteer.
2. We will also need someone to compile a list of people working on the project and their contributions for the credits.
3. Each team should have some means of contact outside of this thread to communicate on what needs to be done and post a few updates back here.
4. We should get a list of who wants to help and once we have 10+ we should all get into chat and see if we can get the ball rolling.
5. The best way to go about this would be to make a short demo first. Maybe around 20-30 minutes of play time. Then you can release/show off the demo and go with it from there. Making a full game is a huge project and a demo could definitely get you a good start. It would also be wise to go with the xbox live marketplace/playstation network-type game. Many of those games are made by small groups of people. Download-able media is really booming right now, and seems to be going nowhere but up.
6. Create a script from the collective ideas of everyone. Possibly put up some polls and whatnot to make some decisions (like the name of the game, etc.
7. I would suggest anyone involved make a link in their signature to this thread. Called, "The Lucid Video Game Project," or something similar.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING PRECOG

0:00 GMT+9 – sleep

Mission on a foreign planet
Part of a team of explorers. There was me, a geeky tech-expert and some chunkier guys and a hot girl with long hair obsessed about her looks, even when surrounded by enemies. We were on some mission, doing separate jobs in some foreign planet.
I was near a forest, close to the ship which was hidden, when I saw a little girl being chased by a huge guy. I’m hiding out so I just watch without interfering, but then the guy grabbed her and threw her violently against a wall of an abandoned house that was there. She knocked her head and looked in bad shape. I couldn’t just do nothing so I jumped in to save her, but the guy was really chunky and I couldn’t beat him up, so I just tried to pick her up on a moment of distraction of the guy and run away with her.
Behind me, hidden under some holographic cloak, was our ship, so I took her there and just had time to close the doors behind me. I immediately started the launch procedure. But the guy was trying to break in and causing major damage to the doors, so we had to enter an escape pod in the center of the ship, to garantee our safety. I was trying to reach the others on the radio but they weren’t replying. The pod entrance had to be zipped up (WTF?) but I was having trouble zipping it up. I was getting really stressed out and yelled “f*****ck!”.

5:00 GMT+9 – wake up

Type: regular dream.
Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

I was in a room that looked very similar to the one below; the walls were mostly toned-down warm hues that created a modern look, and the furniture was nearly the same too. This was the "diagnosing room" of the television show House, M.D., which means it was in a hospital, and that also means there were doctors in the room.

I was leaning against the wall while House's team sat at the table, observing them for a few instances. There weren't speaking, but looked restless and agitated.

Uncharacteristically, House himself wasn't present at the meeting, but I do remember everyone else being there besides Foreman (the man on the far left).

I must have known what was happening because just then, Foreman walked into the room with a serious and slightly upset look on his face. "It's not good," he announced, placing a thin folder of results on the glass table.There was nothing on it before. "There's bleeding in his brain; he only has a few hours to live."

Everyone looked at each other and got up, leaving the room through an open door. I watched everyone leave but then became slightly confused; weren't they forgetting me, still sitting in the corner over here?

"Guys?"

They didn't even look back as they leave.
