I wake up in bed, move a bit and think "Oh, I woke up and the blanket is loose... Or actually, let me make this a dream!". So I stop moving with my body and start moving with my mind and expect the blanket to be stuck and show resistance. Sure enough that works, and I roll out of bed and am standing in my room in a dream.

I walk a bit in direction of my living room, but stop for a moment to do a hand RC and breathe and calm down to stabilize. It actually works quite well. I go into my living room and there's something going on with my PC. I largely ignore it but look under my keyboard to try to summon a DV coin. No luck... I go to the window and exit my house.

The scenery is different than last dream I did this, closer to IRL but still different. The street I live on is much wider, with two lanes, and there's no houses on the other side. My landlord's house seems to have disappeared as well. It's early in the morning and the air is cool. There's not a lot of people around. Some joggers, older people and some cars pass by. I take it easy since I know the dream is relatively new and the longer I give it to form, the better it'll be.

Since the first step of my 3-step task is talking with someone, I see an older lady walking and decide to approach here to try to talk to here. However, I get the feeling she really doesn't want that so I back off. I walk a bit and decide to use super speed to get somewhere more interesting fast. I run very fast at first but feel stability slipping, so I decide to go at moderate super speed instead. That works much better.

I am now in a large, wide street with tall building to either side. As I'm walking down, I notice that on the other side of the street there's a homeless-looking man asking for coins. Too people pass him by and ignore him. I try to look for some DV coins on the floor, but can't find any. I move on.

Suddenly I hear music from a flute-like instrument. It's coming from a building that looks like a church, but is more square. I fly in through a window and I see, in a corner a group of people. There's an older man, in his 50s or 60s sitting in a sofa. He's clearly the boss. There's a bunch of girls surrounding him and 2-3 musicians playing that delightful music. As I land, everyone goes away except the man. I try to make one of the girls stay by controlling here mind, but that doesn't work out. In any case, there's still a person there, so this is my chance to complete the task.

The man is looking at me with a smile and curious eyes. I approach and introduce myseflname, sitting next to him on the sofa.

He thinks for a bit and says, "I'm the only other real person here.".
"Oh really?", I ask.
"Yes, this is a dream and only me and you are LDers."
"How do we know there's not a third person around."
He smiles and shrugs, "We don't!"
I think for a bit and ask, "Well, since you're an LDer and seemed to have such a big group of people around you, can you give me some tips?" (my second step of the 3-step task).
"Hmm, you should try to talk to everyone you encounter" he says. Seems like good advice.

We go on a bit longer about quitting social media, but I don't remember that conversation quite well. The final step of my 3-step task is flying and I know I have already done it in the dream, but it was out of order. So I decide to fly away and as I do that the dream ends and I "wake up" in front of my computer, to write down the dream.

In this dream I think I'm WILDing but it turns out this is all just a DILD instead.

I was laying in bed trying to use my usual trick to WILD -- moving with my mind, instead of my body. I struggle a bit but manage, and suddenly I am walking around my room. Everything is dim and difficult to see. In bed I see my body and I laugh at it and make an L with my hand. It doesn't seem to like it because I see it punching me and suddenly I "awake" back to bed (FA, this is still a dream).

I go for the WILDing technique again. This time I go into my living room/kitchen. I go straight for the fridge and try to take something from there (might be copying what other people have been doing lately ). I try to take something from the upper shelf but I my arms are still quite difficult to control, so I go for the lower shelf instead. I take a box of grapes and eat two. The first doesn't taste like anything special, but the second one has a very weird taste which reminds me of pizza. I then turn to my window and want to open the blind, but am suddenly scared by what I can find behind them so I hesitate a bit. The fear makes me "wake up" and I am back in my dream bed.

Third time's the charm though and I go to the window, open it and walk out. The scenary is really nice, nothing like in real life -- a vast green field, with some small tree clusters and a river down the middle. The sky is very gray and there's a light drizzle, I can feel a cool, pleasant breeze on my face. I know it's daytime or early morning even though the sky is so dark. I walk around a bit and as I get close to the river I decide to fly. I float more than fly, but it's very effortless and it makes me feel really good. Then I wake up for real.

During this dream I was constantly hearing a bird singing, always the same pattern.

WILDed into my old bedroom and went to the window to check if it was indeed my old bedroom. "Oh yeah" I thought as soon as I saw the familiar scenary. I didn't remembre my tasks all that well, so I went with the piano playing which I knew was a thing but didn't remember wasn't the 3 step task anymore.

So I went to the living room, sat at the piano and tried to play something cool. However, nothing good came out and I ended up quickly giving up. Then I went to the kitchen where my sister was playing on her computer. I asked her for some piano advice but she kind of avoided the question and asked me to help her install something on her PC. I helped a bit and then went to the kitchen balcony, which was significantly bigger than it is IWL.

I looked at the sky and it was slightly cloudly, cool and humid and I thought it would be a perfect day to fly. However I wasn't feeling super confident, nor was I feeling like jumping out of the 7th floor, so I decided to test for super strength instead and started punching the wall. Nothing much happened to the wall itself but at the 2nd or 3rd punch it seemed like the wall "stepped back" slightly. I tried to do it again but to no avail.

Next up I remembered the electronic device task, so I headed back to the living room, where my two versions of my cat were. I petted both of them for a bit and then grabbed my phone. Everything seemed normal I opened the music app which seemed to have every tune I have ever listened to. I played one of them, and it started playing an album I hear often, which coincidentaly I actually have on my phone IWL.

Finally I decided to go the neighbours place to see if I could find the Unigine Valley there (going through their door has led to some weird places before). As I was leaving my house I remember the expression "the writing is on the wall" and try to think it would be cool if there was writing on the wall in the corridor when I went out through my front door. And sure enough, there it was. On the left wall of the corridor, in a very faint, light red color it was written "writing on the wall". Kinda neat, uh? (except for the part where it was written in red, I kinda felt like it was blood).

Anyways, I knocked on my neighbours door, but before they had time to answer I noticed to my right a room which had two grand pianos and a smaller keyboard instrument which was clearly supposed to be a min church organ. I sat at the organ and started playing Toccata in D minor by Bach (I can't actually play this IWL, so this was all just me thinking the sound and moving my hands randomly, and the sounds came out). Then the neighbours came rushing into the room, slightly angry. I started playing Autumn Leaves and they apparently had no choice except to groove along. One sat down at a piano and the other pulled out a saxophone and we just jammed. Great fun! Worth noting that I had to purposely not look at the keys for otherwise the illusion that I actually could play would be broken.

I was at a math student conference and, to my surprise, I had been selected to give a talk. I went to the bathroom and someone just stood there by the door waiting for me to get out. It was bugging me so eventually someone came to take thar person away. Finally, as I was going to give my talk I started wiping the, quite dirty, bathroom floor with my pijama...

Fragment 1 - I was wandering about and it started getting dark and cold. I found some houses and one of them was inhabited by a ghosty SpongeBob. I stayed there and he was very nice

Fragment 2 - I was watching a sport competition and my old basketball coach was there. I remember trying to park, but access to the 3rd floor was very limited.

Fragment 3 - I was reading a reddit post about someone who had just won a court case (which had been going on for 142 years) against a wizard.
