    THE DUCKS (Spring competition night 14)

    by Eveningsky on 03-16-2023 at 03:46 AM
    Only 2 dream fragments last night.

    - I was playing a weird video game with ducks, school, marshmallows, AND trash. The whole package. Maybe this is due to my playing of Placid Plastic Duck Simulator IRL, but idk where the trash came from lol.
    - For some reason I asked out a woman that I know, who is definitely married IRL, and who I am definitely not interested in IRL, due to her being married. Weird stuff.

    2 fragments = 1 point

    Dropping my laundry into the grand canyon (spring competition night 13)

    by Eveningsky on 03-15-2023 at 03:36 AM
    Dang the time has flown by. Anyway.

    - Dream that I was writing in my dream journal. I NEED to do reality checks every time I write in that thing to check for false awakenings. -_- (0.5 points)
    - I was in my paracosm, but it got weird. There was a contraption hanging off of a cliff at the edge of "the Grand Canyon" (but upon waking, it was definitely not the grand canyon), used to transport laundry...For some reason. And I accidentally dropped some laundry using the contraption, all the way at the bottom of the canyon. D: I was mad at my dad especially because there were ants all over our stuff (probably due to outdoor laundry), and then (sorry this is SO, SO gross) I had ticks crawling and laying eggs on my foot (I felt this sensation still as I woke up, but there was nothing there). I had to smash them. Like man, my brain knows I hate insects and it does this to me anyway. .______. (1 point)

    Why tf do I keep dreaming about hornets? (Competition nights 11-12)

    by Eveningsky on 03-14-2023 at 03:52 AM
    Night 11:

    - I was back in high school track. I was discussing my race times with 2 of my HS friends. We were heading to either a workout or a race on the track, and we were talking about how we wanted to get faster. We were a bit worried that our goals were unrealistic (I think we were talking about trying to go to the Olympics or something) but were determined to give it our best effort anyway. (Full non-lucid = 1 point)
    - I went to some sort of music festival. (Fragment = 0.5 pt)
    - I was cooking, and some dude put a giant hornet in my whipped cream. It escaped. D: WHY is it always hornets? (Non-lucid: 1 point)
    - WBTB lucid dream where I was at this very nice park. But I started to lose it very quickly (and couldn't remember any of my tasks). When I woke up, I tried to do DEILD into an OBE, and I successfully stayed sleep paralyzed. I also did successfully have a few seconds of an OBE in which I walked on top of the desk next to my bed, but then I lost it, and the imagery was so faint that it was almost daydream-like. (WBTB: 2 points, dream chaining: 2 points)
    - A dream fragment about the company I interned with last summer. (Fragment: 0.5 pt)
    - I had a dream that I got a text asking to man the cameras for a YouTube feed at church, including on a Saturday night event, which was weird because I knew Saturday night was over and it was Sunday morning (considering that I thought I was awake, and had a very real-life context this time). (Non-lucid: 1 point)

    Night 12:

    - Dream fragment. I was exiting a grocery store on a sunny winter day. (0.5 pt)
    - I attempted a DEILD into an OBE again, and I failed. My earplug had fallen out and I was getting distracted by late-night/early morning traffic noise, so I eventually had to snap myself out of the sleep paralysis vibration sensations and put the earplug back in.

    Nap after night 12:

    - I did not get enough sleep last night and I felt like crap with a headache all day due to the springing forward. BUT! I did have one cool experience as a result of it...It just didn't last very long. I'm getting better at LDing often, but not at preventing wakeups.

    Basically, I was exhausted and falling asleep against my will at work, and I work from home, so I gave in and took a nap. I really like the whole OBE sensation so I tried it once more. I did WILD and stayed lucid as my body fell asleep. I got intense falling sensations, occasional feelings like my arms were floating above my body, and an intense sensation of being pulled forward. I then tried to start controlling dream imagery, and did see a few faint flashes of trees or something green -- But then I opened my eyes and saw my room. I was on too much caffeine today, so that created some interesting sensations. Well, it was only 120mg and early in the morning, idk. (I think this counts as a WILD so 10 pts, but let me know if I should drop it and I can! )

    Nights 11-12

    3 non-lucids: 3 points
    3 fragments: 1.5 points
    WBTB: 2 points
    Dream chain: 2 points
    WILD (this only lasted for a tiny bit and it was mostly physical sensations, see blog, so lmk if I should refrain from counting it): 10 points

    Total: 1 + 0.5 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 0.5 + 1 + 0.5 + 10 = 18.5

    Competition running total: 77 + 18.5 = 95.5 points

    Back in business? :D (Spring competition nights 9 and 10)

    by Eveningsky on 03-12-2023 at 07:02 AM
    OK, I have been experiencing something of a resurgence. I think setting a strong intention to have a lucid dream is helping. If I am successful many days in a row, I start taking it for granted, and stop intending. Maybe. I'm still trying to figure out the pattern. That would also explain, though, why I was able to complete the character summoning task last night. I just thought, "it's my brain, I have control over it" and just like that, it worked.

    Night 9, the night of repeated nightmare NLDs:

    - I had this weird hypnagogic imagery dream where my friend kept turning into a carnivorous plant made out of eyes, AND biting my eye. Rude. It weirded me out and kept continuing, so I woke up fully and wrote it down to try and make my brain dream elsewhere. (Counting this as full since it felt very long, 1 point)
    - I wrote a song about "my major"...in college/grad school? Idk. I wrote a song about my major, whatever that means. I had intense jaw pain in this dream too (this was probably real as well -- I have bruxism). (0.5 points)
    - Dream that my brother was threatening to shoot me, which he would never do IRL. Quite a horrid nightmare actually. :c (0.5 points)
    - I had a stalker in some endless bathroom world. I have these weird bathroom dreams a lot and have to pee when I wake up. (0.5 points)
    - MORE FREAKING EYEBALLS. There was a giant eyeball watching me. I told some girl about it and I think she freaked out. (0.5 points)
    - I dreamed that some guy killed someone and then panicked due to the guilt. (0.5 points)

    ...IDK what I ate before bed to have nothing but 6 straight nightmares in one night. Actually, I think it was pizza. Wtf man. Speaking of which, it's like 10:45 PM, I should be asleep, and I kind of want a bit of ice cream................ am I going to get round two of this?

    Total = 3.5 points


    Night 10, much better:

    - Dream fragment about a selfie stick (0.5 points)
    - Dream fragment about free art courses offered online (0.5 points)
    - FINALLY A LUCID / DILD! I was with my friend and we summoned my target fictional character, and we were all walking up the stairs to a water slide! As for my character, he appeared in my peripheral vision and then in front of me almost instantly, which is interesting because I've struggled with summoning in the past. I then tried to ground myself in the dream, and it did become somewhat more vivid. I tried to go up the stairs more to ride down the water slide, because why not? Unfortunately, I then lost lucidity. (10 for DILD, + 1 for grounding, + 2 for interacting with DC, my friend, +5 for my first task, summoning a fictional character = 18 points)
    - The dream morphed into something about a spooky dinosaur ride, based off of a dinosaur that was never real. But the woman operating it wanted it to be. In the same dream, I was with my cousin in a shop kind of like Costco, and there was free merchandise available there. We were riding on scooters, trying to get on the dinosaur ride, but we were about to miss the next train/car. An old lady got mad at me for letting my cousin ride on her scooter in front of me, because this was apparently rude or improper. (1 point)

    Total = 20 points

    Competition total = 23.5 + 53.5 = 77

    This was so wimpy (spring competition night 8)

    by Eveningsky on 03-10-2023 at 04:37 AM
    I only remembered one fragment. In it, my brother suggested that we both hang out with a friend of his (who I haven't met IRL). That's it. So mundane. Dx

    1 fragment = 0.5 points

    Total = 53 + 0.5 = 53.5

    I'm going to be getting better sleep starting now! The results will be fantastic, I can feel it
