Non-Lucid Dreams
Went to bed around 11:30PM. Romantic Confusion I'm at a park. It is reminiscent of the one where we celebrated my sister's birthday many years ago. I'm with my girlfriend's dad. He is cooking some beef roast on the grill. The meat is a sphere cut into sections and it stands up on its own. Like a mandarin orange. I get the impression that he wants to know about whether I am going to propose to my girlfriend or not. I feel guilty for being unable to answer him yet. There is a medical facility on the edge of the park. It's white, clean, sterile. Like a lab. I'm inside a bar-like section now and I'm with my Uncle J, taking his and a few others' pizza order. There are 3 or 4 styles of pizzas ordered overall and I am struggling to remember it all. To put the order in, I had to travel through the facility, which had indoor and outdoor sections. On the way there I chat with someone about how the layout of this place is stupid, particularly the unfinished outdoor sections. I make it to another bar section, having entirely forgotten about the order, and I have a beer in my hand. My friend H is there. She expresses romantic interest in me but as she is saying it, a drunk person stumbles between us creating a lot of noise. The sound covers her speech, but I still hear it. She pretends the noise prevented me from hearing it. I'm relieved, because I'm not sure how to react. Later a young Asian man, who clearly leads his group of friends, comes over to me. "Dude, did you see how cute she was? You have to say something!" "I have a girlfriend man," I say. He makes an overly animated expression with his hands while making an agitated noise, which I take to mean "You should weigh your options." Later I encounter H in the bathroom, which doesn't make a ton of sense. For some reason, we know we are supposed to mark locations on the urinal with a marker. Recorded around 5:00AM. Near the end of sleep cycle 3.

Went to bed around 11:15PM. Reunion of The Twist I'm in my middle school's gym during an assembly. I'm in the audience wearing a college t-shirt. I think to myself that I wish I would have dressed with something better (like my trusty red flannel) and showered. We're watching a ceremony on-stage, where my brother and sister are being honored as part of a larger group. Moments later, my brother is down by me in the audience wearing a similar college t-shirt as me, but I don't notice the discrepancy. I wonder why he isn't wearing his college's version of the t-shirt. The event reminds me of a band concert, they had instruments. DTP. Later we have rotated and are watching a different group of people. We are seated now. EC from highschool is seated in front of me. Awkwardly, my legs are spread apart, and he is sitting between them. I can feel my balls touching his back. Lovely. He doesn't seem to care or notice. The performers are now making an arc, again, like in band. I can recall that GW from band stretches forward to us, like a cartoon character (similar to how Monkey D. Luffy does from One Piece, especially in Gear 5 form). RW, her older brother and friend of mine, is by me now. He's excited to see her being honored. GW regards me, saying hello, but I get the distinct impression she was only saying so out of obligation. Then she stretches back to the arc, with a reverberating snap noise. I noticed that the bari sax players were playing without their mouthpieces on. But I don't pickup on that being especially strange. EC points out that they are doing a special trick with the brass, as if to explain what I noticed as normal and avoid suspicion on my part. Sure enough, the are moving in rhythm, doing a choreographed twist move, with the trombone players. They pick up their mouthpieces from somewhere out of view. They play a short melody with their mouthpieces only (which is high-pitched and funny to listen to) and then put them onto their instruments. The formal event ends and turns into more of a social. My brother meets up with BY and they talk about dad stuff. BY gives my brother this tablet made out of rose flower vines. It's not like an iPad, more of a clipboard or ornament. It's a strange item, but it seems to have a sort of value to it. The plot of the dream has changed at this point, where my girlfriend and I are now at the event together. AG, from my more recent friend group, is now there with us too. My girlfriend senses that I am exhausted from being social for this long, so she is looking for an excuse for me to leave. AG suggests that we check out a local escape-room called The Twist, where there is an obstacle course that looks fun. I tell him that my knee is still recovering, so it would probably be a bad idea. Within the plot of the dream, I then recall that last-year (or a previous reunion-type event like this one), there was an emergency lockdown. During that lockdown, I was with AG, and we left the emergency lock-down room to go to the bathroom. DTP. Now, in the present, we are in that bathroom, talking at the urinals about going to The Twist soon. I look in the mirror, and I am wearing a hat. I lift that hat and see that my hair is thin. Starting to recede. Great. I put the hat back on. There is a rotating cylinder on the floor near a sectioned off area, presumably an obstacle similar to one from The Twist. I test it out and my knee does OK, which I tell AG means that I can go to The Twist with him so long as the other obstacles aren't worse. He tells me that I should still go, but just skip the bad ones, and we can go get the girls to come along as a group. We left the bathroom and head back to the main assembly room where we were earlier. Now there is a large lit-up horizontal limbo pole crossing the entire room that we have to pass. We do so easy enough. AG jokes that if we can't find the girls we should just get GP (the other guy in our group of couples) and leave without them. DTP. We make our way to the exit, and outside the gym door is my Grandma M's condo outdoor area. I see a trash can that isn't normally there. It is overflowing with McDonald's bags and transparent extra-large iced coffee cups. I sarcastically give a salute and say "GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!" "How much money must McDonalds make, if it is like this every day?!" I say to myself. AG gets into his car, and drives to The Twist. For some reason, I decide to take a nap by a "For Sale" sign next to the condo and the trash can. ... When I wake up, AG is gone and inexplicably, there is gravel in my shoes. I don't care about this or consider it odd in any way. Because dream-logic do be like that sometimes. I think that I should find my girlfriend and tell her about the plan to meet at The Twist. I go back to the event, and enter through my Great-Grandma's condo (Grandma M and Great Grandma's condos were actually in the same neighborhood in waking life, just a few condos apart). This time, it is actually her home inside the door. There is a young boy there playing a rhythm video game that involves a cat. He seems embarrassed to be seen playing the game. I went toward the back of the condo where the bedrooms are. The layout is reversed, such that the kitchen has swapped sides with the bedroom. I don't notice the discrepancy, and correctly move to the bedroom area. There's a new door (doesn't exist in waking life) that connects the condo to the neighboring one. I can hear there is another family in that condo playing a Legend of Zelda game. I wake up with the impression that my girlfriend might have been in the guest room with another man, potentially against her will. Anxiety ensues. Either way, no bueno. Recorded at 3:30AM. Late sleep cycle 3. Fragment Walking down a shore looking for something. Sky is gray. Ambience is somber, muggy weather. It reminds me of Darkshore from World of Warcraft. Redridge Hotel I'm playing World of Warcraft with the boys on Discord. It's getting to be about time to log-off. I recall that ahead of time I had changed the music that will play in the Redridge zone. It now plays a song about change. It was supposed to be funny, but outside the context of the dream, I have no clue why. Maybe it was that the 10 minute plus track was replaced with a short 30 second one. I was waiting for the group to notice that the music had been replaced. The joke doesn't land. Oh well. What's new, eh? We reach the main bridge, and it is broken. I try to justify within the plot of the dream that, the bridge breaking was part of the Cataclysm expansion. I don't notice the discrepancy that we are playing Classic World of Warcraft, so the bridge should be in tact. Since it doesn't break anyway in waking life. I jump off the side of the bridge and get the group to watch. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee! My gnome avatar safely lands in the water. Then I head to the inn to logout and get that sweet sweet rest xp. DTP. As I walk in, I'm holding a gnome toy, and the inn is a real hotel room. I put the toy down and "tuck him in" as a joke over some chairs. I went around the room and locked the doors. I see some messages on BattleNet from my brother, where he had gotten notifications from when I played with my display resolution settings. This was an accident, not sure why he was getting notifications for that. I try to explain to him that it has to do with having two monitors. My brother is now in the room next door, and they are connected through a door as well as an open section near the far-end of the room. My brother tells me there is an inspector that is coming and I should clean up. I shrug him off and say that "Whatever. If he finds something, he finds something." Recorded at 7:30AM. Mid sleep cycle 6.

Pre-WBTB Fragment I can faintly remember something Dragonball Z related. WBTB I'm very tired but force myself out of bed. I spend the 10 minutes similar to how I did last night: going over my plans, and reviewing the advice friends on DV gave me regarding teleporting and visualization. I lay down and spend a long while trying to get to sleep. It's possible that 10 minutes WBTB wake-time is too long for me (twice in a row now I've struggled to sleep). More data will tell on that. Post-WBTB False Awakening and Fade I wake up in my bed and remember to do a nose-plug RC, and I can breathe. It takes a couple seconds to realize but... I'm dreaming! I get out of bed and make my way to the hallway, thinking about how best to start stabilizing. I rub my hands together, and also my barefeet on the ground. But, unfortunately, before I know it, the dream has faded. I don't recall recovering from this. Tree Arena Fragment I vaguely remember a big circular arena. It may have been inside a large tree trunk. Maybe non-lucid me made it to the EFF™ after all I can also recall some pirate ships circling the area. The main combat section was raised and the lower section was filled with water.

Sword Fight With Kid Me I'm at home, in the gameroom area, by the big round table. My past self is there. He looks maybe 8 or 9 years old. About the age when we went to Disneyworld. He says "Are you doing that dreaming stuff?" I tell him "Yep, trying to!" but I don't become lucid. Then we decide to have a sword fight. We're just imagining that we are holding swords. I take a few stabs at him, taking care to not accidently hit him with my arm. I chase him around the house a bit. At one point I sit down to rest and he remarks about how lazy I am. I say "Yeah, having a job will do that to you." ... There is a cat in a cat-carrier on the floor near the gaming table. I think to myself that I should let the cat out. I recall that the cat talked to me and asked me to release it, but I don't know if that actually happened within the dream. My sister's boyfriend N is there too. I let the cat out and tell N that he'll need to help me catch the cat later. He agrees. The cat saunters out lazily and lays down nearby. Totally chill. It seems satisfied that we helped it. I sit down by the fireplace near the cat. It splays its paws and I play with its footpads. My sister M is there, and they are talking about one of the third grade teachers from elementary school, Mr. A. I say "Oh! Is he still teaching?" M says that Mr. A used to call the place she sat the "Bitch-Chair". I think about how Mr. A was very perceptive, but don't say it. Recorded at 6AM, 66% through sleep cycle 5.

Riding the Mountains I'm in a parking lot, leaving a grocery store. It's day. There is a man in his car parked nearby talking on the phone. He's arguing with someone about the price of apples. I remember working hard to get the math right in my head, but it comes slowly. He says that there are six apples with six servings at six dollars each divided by twelve, or something similar. ... It's night now and I'm approaching my car. The building has changed from a grocery store to something that reminds me of my Dad's friend's home remodeling business. I enter my car and start it up. I see my Dad outside the car he says "The weather here could be storming or worse, and it doesn't even phase you! You've got your windows down all the time!" I remember thinking something along the lines of "It's really hot where I live, storms aren't exactly an issue" but I don't think I replied. I start to drive away, but I have problems actually leaving the parking lot. I can't seem to orient the car to face the proper direction. I drive down a path leading behind the building to try and find a place to turn around. I do find one and finally re-orient the car. I have to nick the side of my car on a nearby electrical box to achieve this. Now I'm progressing along the path I came, but it is different. It goes up where it didn't before into a mountainous region. There is rocky tan-colored mud that is causing the car to slip and slide. It starts to cake onto my car. My perspective zooms out, and I'm watching my car go through crazy jumps and maneuvers through the mountains. The car eventually crashes and flips, so I am sent back to the beginning. It repeats the course but lands on its wheels this time. My perspective shifts again. Now's I'm standing, and the car is a toy that I can pick up. I do so and walk the rest of the way up the red rocks on the mountain. My Dad is at the top laying in a bed. He is surprised that I made it up here. The room we are in reminds me of the sky room from the bottom of the narrow concrete hole from the Game Grumps dream on 9/2/23. Recorded at 4:55AM, just after sleep cycle 4. Dancing in the Store It's my birthday, and we are in my childhood bedroom. I'm on the far end of the room (If you turn right as you enter and go all the way). There is an electrical outlet and it has a bunch of game system minis daisy-chained together with USB wires and ports. I can recall at least a PlayStation 2, but there were more of them. My brother and my friend D are on the other side of the room. A third person at the party is setting up some game for us to watch him play. He has two tablets, the second one folds and is acting as a keyboard for a laptop, while the top tablet is the screen. There are some pillows and armchair-pillows on the floor and we are all settling in to watch him play whatever this game is. ... The room now resembles my Grandma P's sitting den. I'm laying on the floor and I'm the last one up. We are driving to the store to get a cake. I get up to join the rest of the group in the car. ... I'm in a big white van, the one we just road-tripped on to go to Denver a few weeks ago in waking life. I'm opening the side door, and asking the driver to slow down so I can close it easily. The driver ignores that request, so I jump out and try to slam it shut as best I can as I jump. I land in the grass in a neighborhood. It's a sunny day. I walk past a man having a yard-sale. He has a bunch of tables he is trying to sell. As I walk by he says "Hey there! Whaddya think?!" I tell him "They look great! But I'm not in the market." He accepts this answer but seems a little disappointed. I keep walking and enter another open garage. I feel a bit guilty at first for invading, but then I realize that the building is kitted-out to be a store anyway. There are shoes covering the walls with tiny labels with prices on them. I'm not lucid, but I decide that I want to find a cute girl and dance with her. I start to clear out an area at the back of the store, moving TVs, chairs, and other furniture. As I do this, a mousey-looking girl with glasses shows up and starts to watch me. I realize she is watching, so I make a show about lifting the heavy things easily, and throwing them such that they flip and land right-side up. When I'm done, I tell here "We're going to dance!" and she agrees. While I don't know anything about dancing in waking life, apparently dream-me knows at least the basics. We dance for a while, and then the girl decides to reward me by getting on her knees. Nice. ... The store has changed into a work area. There are some tables with PC setups on them, similar to a computer lab. There's not enough room to comfortably place my legs. I'm working at my designated spot, but I sneak to a nearby one that I like better. ... Later on the tables are gone but there is a long-table in the center of the room. It now resembles more of a conference room than a computer lab. There is a TV on the wall everyone is watching. Some major news is happening. Feels like a 9/11 scale event. Former President George W. Bush is at the table among the group. A little girl at the table says "Why can't we just call all the Presidents dumb?" George W. Bush replies "Well, there used to be less of them, and now there are more and they are all stupid!" Which doesn't make sense, but the spirit of what he's saying is that things were better under him, of course. Recorded at 6:39AM, just after sleep cycle 5.

The Gym Kitten I'm at my childhood home laying in my parents' bed. I have a longhair black kitten. Reminds me of Oreo a bit. Kitten is very cute. Sleeps a lot. At one point I went downstairs into the kitchen. It is accurate to how I remember it in waking memory. A bit unorganized, dirty. I'm standing by the shelf left of the fridge (where there were often fruit flies from uneaten fruit). There is a plastic container of frosted cookies that have been picked over. Half cookies, cookies eaten out of order. Later, I'm at the gym. It resembles the gym I frequent in the present day. The kitten is still with me. It is laying on one of the benches on its back. I have an ACME 5-piece package but I can't recall what was in it. Maybe a container like a lunchbox. The 4th piece of the set might have been a type of ink-pen, "nothing ink" and it was a golden tube-like object. I had a toothbrush, and remarked that I didn't need something from the pack due to that. Recorded at 5AM, just after sleep cycle 4. Crashing the Banquet I'm in a banquet hall at a round table. Reminds me of the reception from KB's wedding, but don't think it was one. My brother A is there with his wife K. He is wearing a somehow formal version of an Ace Ventura shirt, with the buttons undone. My friend D is also there, and he tells me I look hot. There was some discussion about whether I was going to attend the event (while I was already at the event). I eventually decided to attend. When I come to this conclusion, I'm in a sitting room that reminds me of my ex H's. Since I am going to attend, I will need to go home and change. I get up and leave. Later I am in a palace-like building. It's like my previous rental home, except big and fancy. My girlfriend S' mom is showering in the bathroom, which is open and around the corner to the bedroom I am in. I wander over and accidently see her, but don't make out any detail. Embarrassed, I worry about whether she noticed me. Then I'm driving my car now down a snowy highway road. I start to lose control of the car and spin out. The car spins very fast and I try to stay calm. When the car stops spinning, I am in a neighborhood reminiscent of a childhood one. I haven't hit anyone or anything. A man approaches the car and I feel his bad intent. He starts to flip the car. I notice the car is now a white van. A couple other men help him. I get upset and try to yell at them, but I can't. I get frustrated. I get out of the car and try to confront him, but I can't move or yell. The man gets into the drivers seat and starts to drive off. I try to chase and yell but I just create mumbling noises. There is a box that has some kind of monster in it on the driveway nearby. Maybe a large scorpion. Recorded at 7AM, 33% through sleep cycle 6.

Drinking Twix I'm in a grocery store the resembles Target, near one of the aisles. I see a woman carrying a pop bottle that is larger than standard, but smaller than a two liter. It is Twix-flavored Sprite. I say "WOAH WHAT KIND OF FLAVOR IS THAT?!" and she offers to let me try it. It's actually pretty good.
The REM rebound is real The Stylin' Spider Boss I'm in a Zelda boss arena that reminds me of the Wizzrobe battle in Stone Tower Temple from Majora's Mask. The boss is a large spider-like creature, and the solution is to shoot it in the eye. It drops arrows periodically, in case the player runs out. Later I'm in another Zelda boss arena. This time it is like Stallord's from Twilight Princess, but with a forest theme. The boss is a spider-like creature, with long spindly legs. It might be the same one from before. My girlfriend S has painted the legs purple and put converse shoes on the legs. Zoro from One Piece is resting against the locked boss door, watching the battle. He's saying something to Usopp, also from One Piece. Fragment It's night-time on a modern-military boat. Jiraiya from Naruto is leaning over the railing on the front of the deck. Some conversation has just happened, had to do with passing responsibility on to the next generation. Basement Fort I'm in a large basement, fully completed. A young boy is using it as his room. It reminds me of Grandma P's current basement. The boy has built a fort out of blankets, sheets, and chairs. He reminds me of S's cousin J. There is a set of locks in the sheets, where the keys would open the door. There are 5 or 6 of them. My sister's boyfriend N and my Dad are there. They are hanging out on a large sitting area, with half-circles of leather couches facing a TV. This section of the basement looks like the one from the home I grew up in. My brother A has just returned from travel. He is carrying a lot of luggage and seems overbeared. But he is handling it. Fun commentary here...my brother has a young boy due any day now. I don't really believe in premonition, but maybe this dream is saying that he will be OK? Fragment I'm at a wedding ceremony. Anju and Kafe from Majora's Mask are getting married. They are thanking me for helping them with jobs around town that got them to this point. There is another person at the wedding who is trying to have me arrested for meddling. The Arcade on Top of the Hill I'm in a big hilly place. There is an arcade-hotel at the top of a large hill. I'm now at the arcade. Lots of lights and sounds. I run into Arin Hanson from Game Grumps. I tell him I'm a big fan and he decides to hang out with me. We walk around the arcade a bit and then leave through a back-door. We're outside, back in the hilly area. There is a concrete floor, with a hole and a ladder leading down. He says we have to go down there. I tell him I can't because of my knee. The hole shrinks, such that a person could just barely fit. I try to squeeze through, but I can't. I think that maybe using some oil would work. I remember there is a train I need to catch. I really am recovering from knee surgery, so I was aware enough to reflect that here. Fragment I can recall a fleeting image of a sky palace area, where paradoxically, the hole from the previous dream would lead.

I was too tired yesterday to practice the incubation techniques. So I didn't get a forest. Maybe tomorrow. Pete is Gone My girlfriend has come home with a puppy. It's an aussie, the breed we've been considering for a while. We are in the living room by the couch playing with it. There is a particular puppy I've been watching online, Pete. Pete is black and white, with heterochromia. One eye is husky-blue and the other is dark green. I'd decided that this was the puppy I wanted (but couldn't get for logistical reasons). The puppy here is not Pete. This puppy has white and grey colors and black eyes. I'm happy to have a puppy finally, but I'm a bit sad that it isn't Pete.

Working the Earth I'm on a grassy hillside area, tilling some dirt. It's a sunny Summer day. The tilling tool is small. Like a kid's sand rake. I am on my knees near the ground. I work at a monastery of some kind. I'm with a girl that I like, but it is a forbidden romance-type situation. Will-they-won't-they scenario. We are working together on the soil. The temple is down the way, to the left of our viewpoint. We're talking about our friend (waking life BP). There is some project involving computers that we are part of with him. DJ is also involved. Fragment I'm up extra early for work today. I reflect how nice it is to experience some cool morning air in the normally oppressively Summer heat.

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3 I'm seeing a Nintendo Direct reveal for a new Donkey Kong Country game. They are showing off gameplay where, based on your score, Cranky Kong will be angry or less angry. Angry Cranky had red-colored skin and 'anger clouds' coming out of him. Typical styling. When he is angry, you get negative modifiers, and vice versa when he is less angry. Mechanics would be locked behind Cranky's current rating of you. There is a level selection screen and a "Visit Cranky" option on a menu.

Lost with Uncle The sky is stormy and red. Lightning flashes across the sky. Similar to Stranger Things. I'm with my Uncle J. He's driving. We're trying to escape something. We're at what seems to be a mixture of the road behind my backyard from my childhood home and the biking trail from last spring I frequented. We encountered an obstacle. There are a few posts around a railroad track, but I can clearly see where he needs to drive. Uncle J goes the wrong way and gets the car stuck. He handles it, and gets the car out. But then he goes the same wrong way again. I try to get him to correct the path, but he seems unwilling to deviate from this loop. I get frustrated with him.
Normal-Type I'm playing a Pokemon-like game. I'm in a cave-type area. I can see my team, and their levels are absurdly high, like in the 10,000s. It's styled like Gen 1 where the menu sprites are weird little guys. Of course, the odd levels don't tip me off to this being a dream. My normal-type Pokemon levels up, and the game tells me that while this Pokemon isn't the strongest, it is good to use as a slave. It's referring to HM Slave, where you teach one Pokemon all the field related moves like Strength, Surf, Flash, and Cut for world traversal. When its stats come up from gaining the level, I note that attack and defense are the highest. That's consistent for a normal type. Good job subconscious. My brother is watching me play, and we are arguing about something. Heated argument with him yet again.

I didn't get the WILD or dream control I was hoping for, but there is a lot of recall here...so that's a plus! Before WBTB Sci-Fi Feeding Time It's dark, night-time at a stable on a farm. There are horse-like creatures and other monsters in sci-fi fleshy body bags. Some of the horse-creatures are sitting on their backsides...and have huge upright dongs. Like straight up into the air, 3ft diameter and 5ft high... Someone is showing me how they care for the creatures. They have one mature creature chew up food and spit it out. Then they collect the mush and feed it to the younger ones. The whole situation is very strange and I kinda wish I would've forgotten this one. Fireshots and Frogskins I'm in a team at Hogwarts and we are in the middle of magic combat with another group. They are Slytherins or otherwise dark magic users. It isn't a friendly duel, they are trying to hurt us. I shoot some fire attacks at one of them and set their robes on fire. I remark that the spell was meant for aesthetic uses, but very useful here. I shoot off some stupefies and experlliarmises, and notice that I have multiples wands and they break as I'm shooting. They sort of snap like twigs. It feels similar to how durability works in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Later I'm in a downstairs living space or maybe a lab. Mr. Weasley is there. He has a big frog creature. About 1ft tall. I'm wanting the frog's shed-skin shell from him. There is also information I'm needing. There was another person I was planning to bribe with the skin-shell. But I realize that Mr. Weasley has the same info. The room looks like my childhood kitchen now, with Mr. Weasley standing near the sink. I ask him for the info, and indicate my understanding that I don't need to bribe him. He pauses, gives me a look, sarcastically pauses...maybe a bribe IS needed... But then gives me the info. Cave Battle JM from work and I are planning a dangerous trip to get treasure. Later we arrive at the site. I'm in an underground cave with a large rock blocking the entrance above. Similar to a bombable wall from Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. There is a horde of orcs/goblin creatures above the wall chasing me. JM is above as well. I'm searching the cave for the treasure. The monsters are getting closer to opening the rock. I start to look for a weapon instead. I find a bow, but the arrows with it are dull. They break through. I try to hide. 3 goblins make their way to the back cave chamber where I am at. They chase me around the room and shoot arrows at me, I try to grab fallen arrows to fight back desperately. J!!! HELP!!! I scream. He shows up and helps me fight. After WBTB I head back to bed and focus on the forest I want to WILD into. I wait a long time, and multiple alarms go off interrupting my attempt. I eventually slip off to sleep without a WILD. False Awakenings I'm in my bedroom, thinking that I've wasted my time for the last day of comp. Crap. I do a half-hearted nose reality-check just to be sure... And I'm dreaming! But it fades quickly into another false awakening. This happens a few times, but I never get real control of the dreams. Only counting it as one dream because it all was sort of a blur. Hey, You, You're Finally Awake I have metal chains binding my arms together and I'm riding a cart through some valley. I'm a prisoner, similar to the opening of Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. My right eye is bound shut somehow and I can't find a way to move my body to free it. I think about how maybe I'm sleeping with my eye covered... I must be dreaming! Despite being lucid, I can't do anything to free my eye. When I woke up, I confirm that my right eye was, in fact, lodged into my pillow. Go figure. Carpet Shower I'm at my Grandma P's old house (the one with the big upstairs area and Jack/Jill bathroom). My dad owns it now. He's talking to his friend about how great blowjobs are. I mean, I can't argue with the man. There is a stuffed animal on a chair alone in one of the rooms. I don't see the significance of it, if any. I'm searching for a shower and I find one in the middle of one of the big bedrooms over the carpeting. It doesn't strike me as strange that a faucet is right in the middle of the bedroom wall. I start to shower up, but my Dad interrupts me and I have to leave the room. Unexpected Assist I'm in an apartment similar to H and A's from a few years back. We're down some stairs. H is giving me a strange look and I feel like she is into me. Her and my girlfriend S are aware of my WBTB and WILD attempts, and are trying to help. They set up a bed for me with a stuffed animal to help me sleep. Panther Dinner Time I'm in a fancy restaurant sitting outside. It reminds me of where we sat and got ice cream in Disneyland/California Adventure. There is a large panther approaching the seating area. It's aggressive and the crowd freaks out. Then a man appears from out of the crowd and seems to know the panther. He commands it, and manages to get it to jump onto a nearby brick wall and hang there. The situation is resolved. Conditions Medium workout Light dinner Bed on time 6hr/30m WBTB Yuschak Primary Trigger (8Mg Galantamine, 250Mg Choline Bitartrate) Notes So I still didn't get the result I was hoping for. There were some alarms my girlfriend had go off during the attempt, but I'm not sure I can 100% blame those for the failure. I think that given the challenge of falling asleep once again, 30m might be too long of a wake period. Intent was 20m, but by the time I had taken the supplements, recorded my dreams, used the bathroom, and reviewed my goals 30m had passed. I'm undecided if I want to test 6hr/30m WBTB one more time, or move on and try 6hr/20m in earnest.

This was a fun one to have while flying home... Day-time Nap Painless Crash My flight back home is ending soon. Something is wrong. I’m watching us land out the window and I’m seeing a lot of greenery. The plane is making a bunch of mechanical and beeping sounds. Feeling some Light turbulence too. We are approaching the ground very fast. I see a large grey structure, a part of the building, approaching rapidly. Somehow, it doesn't hit us. But we keep going and eventually break into the building through some other way. There is a lack of collision, but I can see the insides of the building structure breaking around us. I wake up. Night-time Sleep No recall...exhausted from traveling all day.
