Competition, night 5: Twin Peaks task, attempt 1 - New total=68p
Ok, fair to say I actually turned up to the competition last night! This my best LD of the year so far in terms of remembering goals, and a real vindication for my current LD practice. A shout out to Frying Man for his Year of Breath thread and his discussions there with Memm!
Spoiler for The Lucid Dream:
I'm at home with Mum and J. I cut one of them off mid-sentence to say, this is a dream! (10 for lucid +2 for wbtb) "Shut up, shut up," I say to them, like Peter Capaldi in Doctor Who. I have to remember my task... I want to go to Twin Peaks! There is a massive mirror in my living room (an actual WL feature - your reflection goes a bit "hall of mirrors" at the edges, great for making you reality check), I turn my back to it and say "Twin Peaks", then turn and look. I think maybe I can see a scene interposed beyond the reflection of the room. I take a running jump and dive at it, like a swimmer... and hit hard resistance. I bounce back. And try again. I go clean through. But I'm stood by the side of a random highway (Teleport = 7p), hardly what I had in mind. I turn away from the road and see a row of victorian terrace houses. I enter the nearest one and I'm back in my house. My Mum says she's made coffee for everyone, so I think I'll try some to check of the eat something task. It's lovely and warm and tastes like really nice filter coffee (Eat something = 4p). "Damn fine coffee!" I say, like special agent Dale Cooper from the show. My mum disagrees with me, saying it tastes like gross instant coffee (Interact with DC = 2). I go back into the living room and this time reality check and stabilise some (1p). I take another running jump and dive, but this time I'm in the void, and I can tell I've woken myself up. I hold tight, feeling residual REM atonia, and try to flash some images from the show, but end up transitioning back into my living room (dream chaining = 2p). I try a different tac, taking the TV remote and trying to navigate through the menus to Twin Peaks (Interact with electronics = 2). But I only succeed in scrolling through picture and sound options and fucking up the display. In frustration I try once again with the mirror and wake up for good.

Always, no sometimes think it's me,
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a yes
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree
