Night 2

Spoiler for first dream:

I had another teen titans dream, this is the 6th time I've dreamed of being Dick Grayson/nightwing. We were in again in the batcave and the new superboy and Robin where there. I went outside to talk to Tim Drake and I accidentally let slip that the new Robin is Damion Wayne.

Spoiler for Second dream:

Later that morning I dreamed of being part of a new animation start up company. I spend most of the dream setting up work stations.

Spoiler for LD:

I woke up and attempted DEILD by imagining I'm a dolphin. A dream scene formed of me swimming in a large pool. I could feel a body that seemed like a dolphin body with but without fins or a beak. I swam up to the surface to jump out of the water and jump up about 20 feet high before falling back into the pool. I lost lucidity after that.

Okay, night 2 a bit bigger.

Spoiler for Dream 1:

Walking around town. Random town in zodra. I want to go to the mall. I head towards where I think about it and it shows up. There is a huge crowd going towards it, but this part of it was actually blocked off. So now I need on the way in, I send out an invite through my menu to Jason Vixen and Laura. I wait for them to show up. While waiting I start baking different gadgets that people would be likely to get from the mall so that we would fit in.

Spoiler for Dream 2:

back in the world, not as close as I would like, I fly up in the air and don’t see it so I teleport back. I have a bit of a garage I’m working in. As I’m sitting there, I think about how long it’s been since I’ve messaged the 3 and I imagined them flying up and they show up from the sky.

I Give them a few gadgets and we head to the mall. Once I’ve gotten to the mall, I stand in line and convince people that I’m in front of them. Once I get to the front, I see that I’m going to be able to go in and so I send vixen on a mission to go in. I don’t know how, but she gets an invite for all of us and we head in.

The whole place is glass so you can see out and in, and lots of people are near a pool as well as different gambling spots. Then I finally see him. He is dressed in a nice suit and has an entourage of nice dress people with him. He greets us like he knows us, but we talk amongst ourselves in our heads and we don’t know who he is. He decides to show us around.

In order to move forward, I need to explain the mall. The mall is not just a mall, but every mall. It is all connected inside and space is wishy washy inside. It’s also always open in every part of the mall. Big enough to have its own dream character that spawn there as well as a central place where persistent characters buy and sell goods and services. This part not being open and connecting the middle a front at the same time. It doesn't seem to be something that will be good going on here. The mall is a bit of a neutral place, but if people exploit it, it can break the whole system. I do not know how the money system in zodra works and the person that made that could also be a bad guy. I really just don't know a lot.
Rules for zodra:
things stay persistent if someone makes them persistent but must follow the rules of whatever persistent thing is made
example: if I make a tree, it can stay persistent, but it can be cut down or caught on fire.
when something is no longer controlled by a person or is changed beyond the initial creation, it doesn't need to stay persistent.
example: if I create a tree and it burns down and is now ash, the ash would most likely fall to being non persistent.
when you create something persistent, it takes a focal energy and perception to make it persistent, others can add into this.
example: I focus on a branch in the dream world and make it a tree. I put x amount of energy into it to make it persistent, walking passerby's that see the tree also increase its persistence.
each persistent thing has an unknown value X that is how persistent they are that depends on the attention perception given to it over time and can be made to be non persistent if you give more than value X into changing it.

So in this, the mall is used by non persistent characters constantly making it more and more persistent with their tiny bit of attention, but its all malls in the world, so it adds up, the shape of the mall and the placement of it is constantly in flux because of all of the different perceptions. The inner court of the mall where persistent dream characters constantly buy and sell goods and services also has non persistent characters in it and both of these things continually make the inner court the most persistent place in it and its placement as "inside the mall a ways" is very persistent, but vague enough to be able to get there easily from any mall.

The money system in zodra is connected by all persistent dream characters when they notice that it exists. When they do, they are able to exchange money only from other persistent characters and constructs controlled by them. The system itself I don't know who created it or for what purpose, but with all persistent characters using it we end up with it being impossible to change your numbers without someone else's numbers willingly going down.

This guy has all the red flags of being a villain, he is exploiting others or the system somehow. He could be a red herring, or he could be trying to counter whoever made the money system in zodra, or he could be the guy that made the money system in zodra.

He showed us all around and treated us like mid level semi persistent characters that could help him by doing tasks. He wanted me to find a way to get him money to allow us to get a membership there. There is a skydiving room, pool, spa, unlimited food, unlimited luxuries everywhere. I couldn't tell if he wanted normal money that would be easy to make or zodra money, but we agreed to come back tomorrow to see.

Spoiler for Dream 3:

We meet back in my garage that I have close to the mall. We discuss what to do from here. Vixen is going to for sure pay and go undercover. I decide to try to be a bit more equal with him and approach him as myself, but first I want to make sure that she makes it in alright. I give her a few gadgets for easy escape. I create them really quickly out of nothing, but they should work well. levitation boots and a jet back, flame thrower to hide her ability to use fire. They work very okay, but she should be able to make it seem like they work very well so she can pretend she isn't fully a persistent dream character. Vixen should do good at this, the first times I ever saw her was when she was working undercover. She changes her appearance real fast and we walk partway there together. She isn't able to get in and I decide to create a diversion. I toss a quick fireball at the glass and it doesn't break. I use my levitation boots and more fire and glide all around the walls. The fire keeps me off the ground and the levitation boots off the glass. They start coming at me on some floating speeder type things and I am able to navigate around the city well by going off walls and cars and things. Then I realize that I can quickly change my levitation shoes to more like the boots of iron man and I switch using my tk and create some iron man gloves and I take off. Jason and Laura start taking down the speeders with some handmade weapons that shoot something like electric caltrops in the air that can take out the speeders.

It takes quite a few minutes to get to a point that they aren't following me. In my dms on my menu screen, I get a message from vixen that she made it in without incident.

Spoiler for dream 4:

I spruce up my entourage in the garage. We are dressing snazzier and going to be something that they will definitely recognize as who we actually are. people that have defended the world quite a few times and are very strong. I want to hear his pitch for people like us instead of going undercover. I am change my clothes multiple times. I change my face to be bit more like people in the realm think it is, much more meme version of it. I wake up.

Personal Goals
New: Teleport. Never successfully done it.

Choose 3 different Dream Control Tasks from the Basic and Advanced Dream Control tasks above, excluding RC/Stabilization.

Goals must be different from other tasks in the competition, eg. "telekinesis" is not acceptable. More specific/unique versions may be okay, eg. "use telekinesis on a DC"

Try to remember what happened on the second week of the winter comp But let me know if you want to switch (Noo don't leave us)

This might be a silly question, but dreams during daytime naps count right?

If so, count me in for a DILD.

Spoiler for Spoiler:

I applied online for a job and got a message from the recruiter. They were parked on the street in a black luxury car. I got in and was asked where I wanted to do the interview. I said anywhere was fine; you choose.

We drove down into a nearby parking garage, slowly navigating the fluorescently lit concrete rooms with tall ceilings and pillars. I noticed a few people in beige robes and large paper mache masks. I didn't think much of it. We began driving up a steep 45 degree ramp that went up into a soft and fluffy cotton panel in the ceiling. My head was somehow higher than the roof of the car, and I pushed it up and opened it as the recruiter drove us through.

We were inside a cafe, and he drove the car right up to the front door in the lobby and parked. People sitting around with their coffee and laptops stared at us with mild interest. "Ooh, this is such a power move. I like it" I thought to myself. I respected the boldness. "Ok, lets talk." I said. "Tell me about this position. What are the responsibilities, and what's included in the benefits package?" I honestly had no interest in taking this job from the very start, but I was having fun being confident.

He rattled off something about paying four times the going rate for mileage reimbursement compared to their competitor. And mentioned he was told to accept me if I landed within the 30 mile radius. Their voice started becoming scratchy and hoarse, and their form began becoming unstable. I couldn't tell if it were a man or woman anymore. "Ok. But you didn't explain the responsibilities to me." I said. They got a disgruntled, almost painful look on their face, and I watched as they rapidly aged into skin and bones, and then into a plastic skeleton halloween decoration. They fell apart onto the cafe floor.

I looked up and noticed another person in a beige robe and large paper mache mask of a Chinese woman standing at a table in the center of the room. They were placing a plastic mask up against the face of their paper mache mask. I remembered seeing the other robed people in the parking garage, and then suddenly felt incredibly silly. "This is so obvious, why didn't I stop to think about it. This is a dream." I had been so concerned with the story that I didn't stop to think about it.

I ran outside and looked up at the sky. I thought about flying, but I knew it would likely be the last thing I do and I'd wake up quickly. I looked down the road and saw a woman walking in my direction. I ran at her and threw both my fists at her. A strong gust of wind blew from behind me and into her face. It was only strong enough to startle her.

"You think you're all that? That's nothing! You can't do a single thing!" I heard a DC call out from behind me. He was in a fenced in basketball court, and angrily threw his basketball over the fence at me. I easily stepped to the side and watched it roll down the hill. He stomped around the fence and came at me trying to fight. I held out my left hand and cocked back my right in an attempted to make a fireball and punch it at him, but nothing happened. He swung a fist at me, and I just grabbed his arm and swung him around, tossing him down the grassy hill where his basketball went.

Spoiler for Entry:

Regular Lucid

I'm back at our street and I become lucid. I can already feel the dream isn't a long-lasting one being all unstable and unfocused, so I make what I can with the time I have. I enter our next door house and head for the first door right around the corner. I ring the door bell and squat down already knowing who I want to meet. The door begins opening and out comes - A brown care-bear! I can't but let out an "Aww" as he comes hugging me happily and excited. He takes my hand and leads me inside. He then tries to take a sprint across the parquet, but because his feet are all soft and fluffy he just begins sliding backwards and I start laughing. He goes to the corner under a window and brings out a small brown teddy-bear for me to see.
