July 2019 Competition Thread

Monday, July 15th, 2019

Spoiler for Dream Journal:

Dream 1:
I am going to meet up with Harley at his mom's place. I get there and work is being done on the place. There are two other guys. One I think I know in the dream and his brother. And an older guy there too. They had added back rooms. I didn't know what to say to them. I waited for Harley. When he got there we were going to play video games. I thought jb his room but he hooked up the switch to large TV in the living room. We started to chat, but I can't remember what about.

Dream 2:
I went to Walmart. Harley was there and were both in separate cars. We were talking. I am seeing these octopuses around on the ground. They are doing this weird thing where they were moving their heads in undulating waves on the ground. I look to my left and there's another car parked by us. I look more closely through a watery dirty window and it's David. I make a face signaling I'm not the happiest and he catches onto my expression and asks me about it. We all stand together outside of our cars and we're wearing leather jackets. They both have black ones and mine is dark brown. We are at the end of the parking lot where GameStop is in front of the gardening section.

lucid-I woke up and got the feeling I was dreaming, so I tried to float up as a reality check, which worked. I got up and jumped through the floor and landed a. It was dark and I saw a old lady at the end of the hallway. I approached her and she talked to me about how she was feeding canned food to 600 people a day.

lucid-I hear a voice-over say "It's about to get weird," and I realize I'm dreaming. I feel a force phasing me into my bed, which was now a half-filled water bed. A voice sings a song with lyrics like "It's water, not rum." and "It's not snot water"

Points for a reality check or any other task can only be claimed once per dream. One of the reality checks can be claimed as partially phasing through a solid object, which is 3 points. So the total score for the night is 30 points.

No, I must see the lucid dream written down for points to be claimed. This is out of fairness for everybody else who put in the effort to follow this rule. You can send me a PM of the dream to get points for it. I won't read it any more than necessary to see that it is written down.

The 5th consecutive night of non-lucid dreams recalled is 5 points. The 4th consecutive night of lucid dreams recalled would be 9 points. So the total for the night would be 37 points.

Wish I could, I can't send PMs, I'll have to just go without the points. :shrug: it happens, fair is fair. I'll just have to work on getting my streak up again.

Tuesday, July 16th, 2019:

Spoiler for Dream Journal:

I am standing and ask Katherine if I have gained weight. She feels the area around the back of my hips and says yes a little as it feels softer.
I am now at some building. I am in the water swimming. There is something at that bottom I want to get but I have to do it sneakily. Alex is there. Callie Rankin is there too and I don't want her to see me going under in the center. There is something floating in the center too that I grab onto while still on the surface.

Points:Recall a full non-lucid dream - 1.0
Recall any non-lucid dream over 3 consecutive nights - 3.0

I'm going to try and step it up tonight. This is one of my work-from-home weeks so I'm going to set some alarms at intervals.

Can you write the dream as a comment in a dream journal entry? I made a makeshift private messaging system using a dream journal entry with the "moderate comments before displaying" button checked, which makes comments invisible to everyone except me and dream journal moderators unless I choose to make them visible. If I saw your dream in a comment, I would delete the dream journal entry.

night 12
no points here either

It was a weird night

https://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/ldf...but-not-87369/

Walk in a trail in a forest(I did multiple times I just didn't list it down in the dream because I just remembered) = 3.0
Total = 7.0

Guys. It feels like I'm so close to another lucid. Because I had a dream about lucid dreaming. I know this competition is helping me improve and it's lots of fun. So I would like to thank dolphin for setting it up(didn't someone ask you to help you host it? Well I thank them too)

Thanks LDForMe! Somebody asked if there were any upcoming competitions, but nobody asked me specifically to host one.

full non-lucid dream-1 point

Spoiler for dreams:

dream-I was inside my grandmas house and night and noticed outside a window there were some strangers in the backyard looking inside the house. I went to my grandma and let her know.

ld-I was in a tiny house in the center of a wiffle ball game. The house was interfering with the game, but nobody seemed to care. All of a sudden everything stopped as if the dream were paused, which made me think the dream was ending, which made me lucid. I tried to stabilize the dream by looking down and walking. The dream scene changed to outside a light-rail station and I could hear some music. The dream blacked out and I woke up.

ld-10 points
dild-5 points

night total-16 points

So, yesterday changes to 37 points overall (dream sent! Thanks for being awesome Dolphin!!)

Today, I actually forgot all my dreams except the two lucids that I had.

Spoiler for DILD #1 Robot uprising DILD #2 Revolution quelled (full story):

an oppressive government has been stopping its people from having freedom and I find myself as a helper to the robots. They are wanting to have a peaceful march to freedom, but the government is very angry about this and sends an army to stop it. I realize it is a dream and am with MARK, leading a successful coup attempts after the massacre yesterday. I know it is a dream, but I also am interested in how the story plays out. I wil stop it if it gets boring. We are in a place that reminds me of gotham mixed with coruscant underbelly and my ragtag group of 3 robots and MARK and his wife are being overrun, we find ourselves backed in a corner... what to do, what to do. I could just leave, they are just DCs and this world will disappear or this part could just be non persistent. nah, i'll stay and help. I start bending together all the metal around us and creating more and more robots. full copies of the ones that have been made, we are able to take out the platoon against us and make it to the palace. I keep making more and more robots as we get into the palace, it is a gaudy den of sex and pleasure, as to be expected from any oppressive government usually, taking everything from the people and making sure all the government have what they need. I burn the place and me and MARK and his wife leave, not really wanting to be involved with the whole thing. I wake up as we are leaving. It felt really nice to help the robots gain peace, they didn't seem like they will try to kill the rest of humans, especially since they fought alongside so many humans. We will see in the future. I wake up

I am overlooking a military outpost. I realize it is a dream. MARK is right next to me, with another woman, a couple years have passed I remember now. fake memories are the best. anyways, his wife is stuck inside the enemy outpost and we are trying to destroy the new machine. A new threat has appeared to try to destroy freedom in the world. The robots and humans are fighting against a small band of mercenaries bent on toppling the world government. The mercenaries have a creation that makes them able to control insects and all animals. It is making it impossible to fight. they also have an "EMP field" that shuts all electronics down that get close to them. It is a big barrier and hard to get around, but the EMP barrier doesn't extend fully inside the mountain I am in. and a no robot assault should be able to take it down. Me and MARK and new girl are able to slip and get around some guards, we don't need to fight, we need one of their ships to slide through the emp checkpoint. We find the docking bay and are able to get a hovercraft. We take off and a storm of enemies come and follow us. We fly through the EMP field and all the ships following us stop and line up at the checkpoint to get through, our ship we borrowed from them is out of commission, I could fix it, but I would rather see what I can do with the powers here. I step outside and I am immediately surrounded by insects. one of them comes up from the ground, its ability apparently to swell up and poison anything that gets close, little poison spikes are all around it. We take off running. There are little land mines of these insects everywhere, they could take over a whole city, but following one person is a little hard. or even three people. the machine is actually not guarded by many people. We dispatch them quickly with our guns and I shut off the machines and the EMP field, loads of robot/human ships come in and take over. I am standing next to MARK, watching the good things we did. they bring his wife out and he is standing there in between both women. Right before I wake up, I want to try seeing what this DC is thinking. for some reason, my best friend had a weird glint in his eyes when he saw his wife come up. not quite the right one. I jump into his brain as an observer.
insane laughter...
Now, with the technology from the robots and the technology of the animals, I can fix them... I can fix them!!!
Maniacal laughter.
I see an image of his idea of a machine that definitely won't work, using machines and insects to fuse his wife and the girl he loves into one woman. I know that it will brutally murder them. The whole thing with us helping for the last few years was just so that he could try his insane experiment.
Sensei will never know that I also know the truth
Oh crap, he is a warlock, or whatever they are called. I have only found a few guys that are evil like this that also know the truth, he probably works with the witches though, he might be able to use the technology mixed with dream control to accomplish his goal. I should stop him. I jump out of his mind and wake up

Spoiler for Zombies:

I am repeating a dream. Last time I got to a certain point and then woke. I guess I will see what happens. I am in a skyscraper. People are arriving and leaving from weird colorful trams everywhere. really small ones that seem to go to a bigger tram and connect there and disperse. I wonder if it is public or private. Everyone is so busy, but I realize I am hundreds of feet off the ground and the skyscraper seems to have a huge cube missing out of it for people to arrive and leave. The place looks a lot like a futuristic mall. I need to leave before I accidentally end up in the Zodra mall. I hop in a tram and realize it is the same one I took last time. I head from building to building and people start following with me, I can see in the back as I am going that there seems to be something that is freaking people out. making them leave this way. I end up seeing some form of zombie attack right before I leave the last place and I head to the next one. The next one is a warehouse and people are setting up barriers to keep the zombies out. there is no other tram from here. I guess we make a stand here. I really want to see the zombies close actually. I climb over the barricade and fall on by butt. kicking down some of the boxes on a shelf nearby. the warehouse seems to be one with paper in it. so the barricade is made of paper boxes. this won't last long. I find a metal/wooden table and I take one of the metal legs off. I hand them around and everyone starts arming themselves. in the distance, I start seeing something heading this way, it seems like only 4 figures, I am on top of the barricade and they start climbing their way up. as it gets close, I see the green eyes and foaming mouth of goats. zombie goats. I realize that this came from the goats i saw in the field yesterday and I didn't see any of their faces. I stab one in the head and it collapses. the other three seem to freak out and run off. I fall off the barricade again, I can't seem to get my balance in this dream, maybe because I am usually non lucid or floating a bit. Behind the barricade I realize is not well taken care of, a door with boxes stacked halfway up. the door gets banged open by the same three goats. I start climbing up but it isn't working. I get rammed into the pages. I am not really taking this too seriously, but I don't want to get bitten. I grab his horns and direct it between me and the other two. I stab one of them in the head and I mount the one I have a hold of. he is craning his head to bite me, but holding the horns with one hand is enough to guide him. The other goat tries to ram and I turn the goat towards him and stab out in the direction i think the goat will dodge. he doesn't, and he rams into the goat I am holding. throwing all three of us off balance. I pile on top of the other two goats and my fellow people are on top of the fallen goats instantly, stabbing them repeatedly in the head. I look out over the city and see fires and buildings collapsing. that doesn't make much sense. I wake up.

Morning of 7/18 Dreams: 7/18 Dream #1

Non- lucid: 1

Total: 1

Grand Total: 71

Another case of terrible, unintended insomnia. But at least it wasn't for naught.

Spoiler for July Competition 2019 - Night 13:

LD 1

FA in bed. Instead of my bedroom, I was in some combination mansion/warehouse. Saitama from One-Punch Man was randomly one of the porters there. I desperately wanted sleep, but couldn't due to the noise. Tingling sensations made me suspicious. Detached myself, confirming the dream state. I flew around the site for a few minutes. Then, I summoned my guide, E, in my arms. Shortly after, I conjured an obsidian construct from a previous dream (who I dubbed PD). I held both ladies in my arms, and flew them to the night sky. Concurrently, I ask them to help dilate time, but results were inconclusive. Regardless, I felt unusually elated, a rare joy similar to experiencing something exciting for the first time. Things get blurry. I tear out the scenery like paper (as per a TOTM). Felt like wet cardstock and tissues as it crumbled out of my hands.I do so repeatedly. First few attempts took me to the void. Last one warped over an industrial facility. I follow along a line of markings, and end up back where I started. Merengue music was playing. More flying around the site for a few minutes. I sense the dream would end. I speak out intent and plans with E and PD to anchor myself a bit longer. Next, I tried looking for a hidden entrance to a secret lab. Suddenly, we were attacked by a huge insectoid creature. I asked both my guide and the construct to deal with it. They simultaneously shoot a yellow beam at it, disintegrating it. I applaud their teamwork.
