Night #9

No Recall due to abrupt change in sleep schedule and not alot of sleep.

Thats okay though guys, I'll make it up tonight.

Total: 73.5 points

Spoiler for dreams:

A lot of dreams and a couple super short lucid dreams :D
I became lucid while peeing then immediately woke up.

I became lucid again while looking at a wall that was covered in strange bugs. I did a reality check then I think I opened my actual eyes while I was still dreaming. I was jolted into bed suddenly and I tried to roll out but it felt like my chest was pinned there. I used telekinesis to move my body but only my legs flailed off the bed while my chest and vision remained stuck in place. I did more RCs to make sure I was dreaming Still. I blinked my eyes once and I could suddenly feel my body in bed and I could move, what I was seeing remained unchanged. Weird.

I bet I'll be lucid again tonight! :)

Welp, had two naps today actually, and managed to get lucid in one, even if for just a bit.

Nap 1
DILD - 10 pts
Flying - 4 pts
Bet - 5 pts

Again, it's short, so I'll just put it here.

Spoiler for Nap 1:

I think I immediately FAed in my bedroom at home, and my mom was saying something about someone coming over. I walked over to the window, and looked down to see a small black Smart car pulling in my driveway. I realized that I wasn't wearing a shirt - only a pair of jeans. I rushed downstairs, but there was a ton of suitcases and pillows stacked up at the bottom. I managed to climb over them to get the laundry room, but realize there's no shirts hanging up. I immediately regretted taking such a long nap, and went to head upstairs, when I remembered that I had laid down to take a nap in my dorm, not at home. This made me become lucid. I tried to fly, but like my last lucid, my feet felt like they were made of cement. I walked over to the stairs, and stood on them for a while, facing the stack of suitcases. I focused and said out loud, "This is a dream." As I said the words, I suddenly felt lighter and started to float up. I continued to float until I hit the ceiling, and then the dream destabilized. No matter, anyway, since my 30 minute timer for my power nap went off while it was destabilizing, so I wouldn't have made it much further anyway.

Nap 2
1 dream - 1 pt

Nap(s) total - 20 pts

Also realized I forgot to add the Week 1 challenge to my points total. I gave this dream a 10, as I was still shaking with excitement for an hour after waking up.
Week 1 Challenge - 20 pts
Competition total - 199.5 pts

Get ready Sensei for a duel :D

I bet I will LD tonight, at the hotel :)

Starting to think I might be getting a mental block over mirrors, lol

Spoiler for The LD:

I had been attempting WILD, and now I am attempting WILD in a room I have never seen before. I start getting bodily distortions, and then I notice the branches of a fir tree reaching in through the window, and the more I look at it the more these sensations increase. I close my eyes and they subside. At first I think that to transition I need to look at the tree, but then I reject this as patently absurd and reality check. Now lucid, I get out of bed and float down the landing and stairs as if in moon gravity. I can't believe the perceptual realism. I get to the living room and remember Sivason's WL recall technique, but I reason that I can remember to remember my waking life is memory enough, and I don't want to waste time. I think about my Twin Peaks task and approach my living room mirror, wanting to make up for my previous fail. Rather than blindly leap into it, I decide to try and alter the reflection to show my intended scene. I start rubbing my hands over the mirror, as if to wipe away the surface and reveal my destination, but this only results in an authentic feeling of friction and squeaky noise. Then I start tapping my fingers on the mirror. This has a bit more effect, making the mirror ripple where I am tapping it, but I'm also repelled as if by some magnetic force. Every time I try to approach the mirror now I am thrown back. I am just about to start trying something else when I wake.

I accomplished my goal of connecting to waking life memory in the dream but I looked back and didn't update this goal in writing in the thread so I guess I don't get those points, and now that I've done it in a dream, I can't claim it as goal any more :(.

Dreams remembered
1. I was working a 12 hour shift in a prison like organization. Everyone was mean as hell. A girl was really threatening this guy's ass, but I knew if she did, he would eventually kill her.

2. I was being forced to marry this guy. His family held me captive. They made me lie down and they held me down so he could have sex with me, I broke lose and ran.

3. I met a family from Germany. It was a couple with 5 kids. I was talking about how this 1 year old is a genius. Every time I asked her a question, she would answer it with the intellect of Albert Einstein.

WBTB fail= 2 points

Spoiler for Dreams:

Get done with my WBTB and lay down. images are really really really vivid. I know I am going to WILD, so I start going through my goals. I run through them over and over until I realize that I am alone in a white void. Stabilize. This will be easy. I create a quick tunnel and start running through it. I increase my speed to where the walls are all blurry and create a huge open box in the hallway that the only way to get out is to fly. I fly through and land. I keep running through the obstacle course like thing that seems to be making itself now. A dream playplace to practice dream powers. It is in a warehouse that reminds me of the warehouse in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, but soooo much bigger and more rooms rather than open places.

http://www.xblafans.com/wp-content/u..._fside_air.jpg

There is a room with large cylinders (going from ceiling to floor flying at you while you run through, I ran through it one time without getting hit. I go through the whole place once, and then I change gravtity and try to go through the whole thing again. I can't quite get through some places, so I start making more platforms and start TKing them around to where I want it. I make it so that they only exist when it is messed up. I keep running and go back to the room with huge cylinders, but with it sideways, it is more like another platform game. I jump from platform to platform. I miscalculated and one of them knocked me off onto another one, when I stood up I got knocked down again. I land on a third and this time I get up fighting. One of them is about to hit me and I slow down the time on it and throw a punch at it (looked too much like a boxing bag to ignore. I hold my punch so that it will charge and I release. It flew about 50 feet across the room. I got out of there and found a huge slide. I definitely didn't make that, looks like it created from the empty spaces I accidentally left. It also put some DCs in here. They are all entering the rooms and going through, going down the slide and also just hanging out. I see a place that looks like platforms from a playplace. They lead up to the ceiling. I go up and see the stars out there. I also see a DC staring at the stars. "How did you get in here?" I ask him.
"I come here most days and nights when I get a chance." He responds. I don't remember much else.

I am eating with my wife. I just got fired from my job and we are eating out. Didn't really need it much, but still disappointed. I get a phone call from "my old boss"
"Hey, we need some workers on this new place that I just built. I need someone with your abilities and thought I would ask you first. Would you be willing to work here for about 20$ an hour?" She says
"What is the job?"
"Just come to (someplace) soon and talk to me about it."
I end up there after running some minor errands. I step inside and she start explaining that it is a playplace for dreamers. OH!!! It is a place that I just created I realize. Must be a dream. RC.
"I can work here." I say when she is done explaining "Mind if I do a quick run through?"
"Go for it! Staff can go through for free and stay here as long as they want. It really has become more of a hang out than anything else."
I go inside and it is... similar, but definitely changed. It is no longer a "fast paced dream control running course" but it is now at least 5 acres X 5 acres X 5 acres. Still has the jungle gym roof top access, but this time the first step is 40 feet up, making it impossible to get there unless you are a LDer. There are about 5 different directions that I can go when I step in. There is a huge slide N (looks like a half pipe that goes about 200 feet up), a hallway E, W, and N (North one is to the East of the slide) and there are steps on the left of the slide that go up (huge steps, 10 feet up 10 feet across). I notice that the dream has made it a little more realistic since last time I was here and has made it a little more dreamlike at the same time. It just makes sense as a place for people to hang out in dream. The previous way was really made for only me. lol.
I go into a hallway and start noticing that there are people everywhere, but the place is big enough that it is almost like a maze. Down the hallway I find a room without a floor. I am tempted to jump down, but I just fly across it until I see two entrances on top of each other. I choose the bottom and land. It starts going upwards (I laugh because I am sure that the top one would go downwards) It makes a quick right and I am at the slide. There are some DCs chilling out with their feet over the edge.
"What do yall usually do here?" I ask.
"This place is the best hang out spot! We usually just go through some obstacles and then we chill out here or at our secret spot."
"Do other people find your secret spots?"
"This place is big enough, and the paths change often enough that we have managed to keep it hidden. We use it as a base when playing the games."
I have a lot of questions, but I already knew the answers to the questions that I had asked. The places on the outermost sides stays the same, and when a change comes to a base, the people that use that as a base are shown the new way to the base. The original slide and the original few entrances always stay the same, but the inside will continue changing every day/week/month depending on which they have chosen. There are about 10 across and 10 up entrances all on top of each other. 100 entrances. It gets harder to get through depending on which level you choose. I choose an easy one on the bottom and am met with an ice level. I burn through it and walk through to the next door. The whole place acts like a Zelda dungeoun with everything resetting when you leave and open the next door. cylinder room, normal way. I run through and throw punches each time one gets close, letting them fly across the room, they all start moving as fast as I have hit them. I use TK and stop all of them from moving probably 70 of them. I enter the next room and there are two entrances, one right and one left. I take the left and am teleported to the beginning. haha, lost forest. Nice touch. I sit with the people on the slide and talk to them again. I forget about what though. Wake up a little later.

I am in a desert. Everything is about 1 mile. Each building. There doesn't appear to be many people who have vehicles, so people walk miles and miles, but it seems to be always day time and no one sleeps. I am hanging with RDC and A. I realize that this is a dream. I think about going outside and doing some goals, but I remember that I am with DC friends, so I chill out with them, we eat and hand out for a while having a good dream time. Some good convos too.

I am in a lab. They are working on ways to genetically make better and better animals. I find some rats and they are in a cage. I catch a mouse before it gets too wild and realize that the cat got loose. I freak out and turn around. There is a friend of mine (Don't know who, but in the dream it was a friend) that grabs acid and pours it on the cat. The cat looks like a normal cat when you look at the fur, but it is more muscular like a lion and about twice the size of a big cat. He then grabs the cat and starts spreading the acid. It doesn't seem to effect humans, but it is spreading like mad. It is black and gets all over both of them and turns really weird. He has the acid all over his face and body and tongue. I step away from the TV (I was not in front of a TV before this) and walk into my bedroom, two of the cats are there waiting for me. I take off running and something glitches. I hear my sister, but it is cut off. She then glitches in front of me wearing a trench coat. It doesn't look like her at all and I ask if it is really her. She glitches and disappears. OH! I get it now I RC and start thinking about a goal. I summon my sister back in front of me. I start thinking... my goal... I am Sensei... I am 23... I am in my bed with my kids sleeping next to me... I look over at the room that I was just in. It is actually where I am sleeping. haha. I need to try this memory awareness thing more often. I am in the dream now... The sounds of my sister keeps coming up... could they actually in my house? hearing is the number one thing that we can access in dreams. I can hear both of my sisters now. It wakes me up to an FA. :/

Betting on tonight.
New personal goal
think about my childhood in a dream (age 13 and below)
