Summer Competition 2024 - Night 14
1. The Late Alley (LD)
I continue swimming underwater and soon break the surface. I become lucid. I look around, noticing that it's night time and head toward the shore. Once on the beach, I look on either side of me and notice interesting stone structures with cream coloring. The one to my left captures my attention as it has an arced balcony on an upper portion with small statues lining it, appearing almost like small cupid figures. It has somewhat of an eerie feel to it due to the reddish glow emanating throughout it, yet it's captivating nonetheless. There are glowing reddish letters toward the top and I have the feeling that it's some type of lunge. I see several people standing on the edge, all of which are seemingly female attendants of some sort. I approach a lower stone ledge and climb on top, beginning to think about what I want to do as I climb across. I really like the area and figure I'd want to come back. I sense that mom is behind me, so I ask what they name of the place is.
Mom: "Late PM Alley". I find the name interesting and draw closer to the attendants, noticing that they're wearing black formal wear. I approach one of the attendants on the right and notice she's wearing a mask.
"Do you need to be wearing this?" She looks at me.
Girl: "Yes"
I simply let it go and ask if I can pass. She lets me and I begin walking. The dream begins to go to void. I hold my awareness, ready for a new scene. I soon find myself standing next to a one story home on the edge of a large waterway between what appears two sections of homes. On the far right, the homes are enormous; they're several stories tall and have intricate, high tech structures on the outside. One home contains a massive blue and silver orb, the function of which I'm not quite sure. I look beyond and see a massive tribal looking structure in the back right, standing several stories tall. As I turn back to the mansions, the structure appears to change somewhat and there now appear to be rollercoaster behind them. I continue to float down to the right, exploring boardwalk area on the edge of the water. I haven't really done any control yet...I should do something. I see a large piece of machinery ahead of me and go for TK, yet it just wobbles a bit before I turn to my right. I quickly see a large, pink spotted animal figurine appearing like it's right out of a carnival. I extend my arm and TK it up with ease. I make my way down to the right, thinking of finding some warglaives. I imagine the base of the blades, yet don't find anything right away. I decide to basic summon something to eat and float over to a shack area on the edge of the water I float up to the window and snap to go invisible. I see a lady working inside as I float through the window. I continue to make my way around to the back, undetected, and look for some hotdogs. I quickly find a couple of paper plates and reach for them. As I focus more, there now appear to be two small hamburgers on the nearest plate. I continue to look, willing them to change back to hotdogs. They quickly revert and I grab the plate. I begin grabbing ketchup and putting it on as well. The lady looks in my general direction and pushes a plate forward. I take a bite and its great! The flavor is accurate I begin floating out of the store. I wake up.
2. Warglaives And Temple Ruins (LD)
I continue to put the sandwich together on the sidewalk. I'm lucid. I see that it's late in the evening and I'm outside of some type of shop. The sandwich looks pretty good so I figure I may as well finish making it and eat it anyway. There's not a top bun, but I don't mind.No summoning, but I'll just do that later. I put some type of condiment on the patty which seems like some type of fried fish and take a bite. It's really good! I walk over to my right and notice some type of small tent with a conical gray top, appearing like an outdoor seating area of some type of cafe. I enter and notice Anth sitting next to mom. I may as well interact a bit. I grab a couple of books off of the table and turn to Anth who has a stack in his lap already. I place mine on top.
"Here you go!" He looks up at me with a smile. I start heading off and notice that the sandwich isn't completely filling my mouth as usual. I notice I actually feel hungry. Maybe having some dream food will actually make that go away for a bit. I continue down the sidewalk at a faster pace and notice a young man sitting at a circular table, seemingly finished with his plate of food as he reads something near his lap. I see a small portion of his burger left, so I grab it off the plate mid-run and begin eating it - he doesn't seem to mind. I begin to think of what I want to do next and run through some control in my mind. I don't clearly see any good options for TK so I decide to play with gravity a bit. I turn toward the tall, light blue wall to my left and slowly place my feet toward the bottom. As I step forward, I mentally begin rotating gravity 90 degrees and find myself standing with the wall now flat, the rest of the dream rotated. I get back down shortly, reverting the dream and jogging toward a couple of young kids at the edge of the walkway. I see a large blue desk to my right and quickly 'wall-run' up it, rotating gravity before landing and reverting once again. Super strength time. I run up to the kid and kick him about ten away and five feet up and zip around the corner. I should at least heal the DCs. I turn, seeing if he's busted up, but he and his friend seem fine. I extend a hand for heal, but they don't seem to need it. That won't count. I continue to run down to the right and see that the path now diverge around a large ovular opening in the center. It remind me a bit of some of the airships in warcraft. I head around the right side, looking for some weapons. Maybe I can find a warglaive. I head pass a desk to my right, not finding them right away, and continue to jog around the walls to the right edge of the room and notice some toy swords. Nice - that will count for the theme. I don't want to wield any of them, however as they're small wooden swords. As I progress, the swords gradually become more realistic with the shape and become larger as well. As I continue around the back and toward the opposite side, they slowly become metal, with larger blades. The ones on the far end seem to have glowing edges. I already have one, so there's really no point in getting another. I make way way farther down and enter a room to the right with some people gathering around a table to the left with some items on it. I'm not interested, so I begin leaving. I male begins calling after me, explaining that they're not finished and they need to do some alcohol tasting. I may as well see what they're up to. I enter and begin to think about how long the dream has been. I should dilate time a bit. I begin meditating and float up a bit. I begin to freeeze the scene mentally and everything stops. I feel about being in stasis, in this state of consciousness for a long time. I don't notice and frost around the periphery of my vision, but I come out of meditation and the dream action continues as normal. I approach a large pot in center with may items simmering inside. It appears to be some type of soup. I'll try to change everything to...potatoes. I focus for a bit, yet nothing alters. I go for color next. I look at one of the large cubes and change the color to green. Nice! I look at another, goin for blue. I only get small portions at first, before saying 'blue' loudly at forcefully, yet not getting a perfect response. I then try a calm, patient tone. It quickly changes entirely to blue. Awesome! I guess that's the trick for me.I notice that the female to my right looks like Han, so I pick her up and give her a big hug and kiss. We hug for a moment, but I don't want to risk destabilizing the dream at all. I turn and exit the room. I should look for some warglaives again. I approach a small kiosk just outside the doors. I anticipate finding some warglaives on the walls. I notice small, plastic looking halves of the glaives. I turn to the woman
"Do you have any warglavies?"
Lady: "I think we may have some in the backroom". She looks to the other side of the room, seemingly ready to look in that area.
I continue to look on the wall and soon find larger halves of the blades, made of metal. I then see figurines who appear to be demons wielding the blades. Finally, I find a fairly large, silver-gray warglaive. I pick it up with excitement.
Nice! My personal goal! I continue to walk down the nearby corridor with it, yet the dream begins to go to void. I maintain awareness and imagine a new scene forming. I soon see pillars of some type of ruins appearing in the far distance, a red color emanating from between them, and float off toward them. I get the feeling that there's some type of fire nearby and a portion of the temple area is collapsing. I think about how long I've been dreaming and how my attention is sustained throughout the states. I begin to think of omnis as well. I begin to encourage myself to dream for very long periods of time.
"Eric, dream all night". I say a few times, mentally conceptualizing what it would be like to stay lucid in the dreamworld for massive periods of time. I float up to and past a few of the pillars of the temple ruins and carve to the right. I get ready for super speed, but don't a a straightaway. I go up to some massive stone pillars and knock on down with a sold bunch. I begin reaching the edge of the temple and a slope which heads down a hillside to an area below. i go for fireball, yet don't see anything very clearly. I reach the bottom and a guy begins grabbing at my feet in somewhat of a mindless state. I kick him off hard and continue to the bottom of the hill area. The scene becomes quite dim as I make my way around a large strucutre that seems like some type of unoccupied vehicle. I Wake up.
1. The Temple (LD)
I'm aware as I'm looking at a tan an orange, stone structure to my left. It has a stone archway on the top portion and seems to lead to some type of open area underneath. I hear a male's voice in the distance and I wonder if I'm getting some input from waking life - I simply turn my attention away from it. I can't move at first, yet relax and begin floating upward into the scene. It's daytime and I see a bit of vegetation beneath me. I look ahead and see a large structure made of tan stone. The architecture is quite rigid; it contains all right angles with large, flat surfaces. I float up to an upper ledge, grab it, and hoist myself up. I stop and raise my hand out in front of me. I take a slow, deep breath, grounding. I walk forward around the edge of a large stone wall and begin thinking about control. I'll try a bit of transformation... I haven't done that in a little while. I shrink down to mouse form, yet feel that the limbs aren't 100%. I readjust, but want to try another form.. I revert to humanoid form then shrink down to cat form. I feel it's quite accurate, down to the curve in the spine, which I accentuate a bit as I walk. I turn toward a stone bridge leading to another large section of the temple structure and catch my cat reflection to the side. I begin to revert to humanoid as I walk across. I see a large humanoid shadow as I walk across. I reach the the next portion and begin to float to an upper portion. I wake up.
2. Sides Of Glass (LD)
I'm sitting at a long table, with several people who appear to be eating. My awareness stirs. ...Dream?.... I become lucid. I stand up and float to the other side of the room, ignoring the group. I enter another room which is much larger and seems to have seating around the perimeter. Sunlight pours in through the long glass windows to the left portion of the room. Hmmm...what should I do? I think of element manipulation and as I raise my right arm. It's glowing in a dark purple color, appearing like dark smoke. I go to cast a shadow bolt, yet only see faint wisps stream out. I see that the glass walls to my left are quite thick and I decide to play with phasing. I slowly phase my body through, noticing how the visual field warbles as my head passes through the glass. I look down at my limbs, making sure they all pass through, then phase back in slowly. I then see a massive TV mounted on the far wall. It's roughly five feet tall and twelve feet wide. Suddenly, I feel a strong pinch in my foot - it actually hurts a bit. I notice that there's a young kid kneeling down in the area, seemingly doing something.
"You need to stop doing that".
He looks up at me, then seems to continue. I then feel a pinching in my ear. What's causing that?
I think of super strength as I turn back to the TV, lift the entire thing off and let it drop down on the kid, pinning him to the floor.
"Will you stop now?"
I lift it back off and then chuck it across the room. The kids simply walks away. I float back through the glass, ready to explore outside. I notice a long cliff face in the near distance and green grass in bright daylight. I fly upward, ready to cast more elements. I cast my arm forward, going for fireball, yet don't see anything appear.
The dream seems to destabilize a bit, so I decide to teleport quickly. I raise my right arm, yet the portal bracelet isn't fully formed. I fly to my right, casting into the wall. I see a slight bit of an undulating effect in the wall and fly right in. I continue to walk forward as I visualize Silvermoon. I wake up.
Bow, Arrows, and Bears (NLD)
I'm looking at a structure that appears to be traditional Japanese architecture with an open concept in the center. There's a massive bear-type creature in the front, facing toward me with a menacing grow. I begin to raise my bow. I see another large white bear behind it and take aim. I fire an arrow at it and see it stream to the right of the body. I fire another and see it head toward the front left leg. I can't tell if it sank in, and I continue to look. I wonder if that'll neutralize it.
Summer Competition 2024 - Night 11
1. The Firework Sky (LD)
Where am I? I look around and see that I'm in a dim garage and begin to recognize it. San house, Meadow...I'm dreaming. I'm lucid. I head forward in the garage and float through the garage door. I begin thinking of the layout of Meadow in this area and head right, floating across the street. I head onto a driveway and look up at the night sky. I soon see a firework explode in the sky, casting green and pink light from its center. I then see another go off farther to the right. Just like earlier in the month. I look down the street again and see a couple of figures walking toward me. I snap to go invisible and head toward the street without them seeing me. I see another figure standing in the far distance, faint purple light glowing in the distance. The scene at the end of the road looks very surreal. I begin to run toward him, deciding to explore down there, then go for super speed. There's no distance...it's just an image. I suddenly zoom rapidly toward the destination. The figure is no longer there, yet I find myself in the middle of a three-way intersection among a few houses I'm interested in exploring. I see one to the right with lights on and an older couple sitting in a front room. I head farther left and decide to head into a slightly larger house with a brown exterior. I see a family at a dining table in a dining room to the back, having a late dinner apparently. I snap to go invisible and phase through the front window. They continue to talk, yet don't see me as I walk inside and head to the right. I may as well get something to eat. I head to the left, wondering if the kitchen will be there - I figure it must be as there wasn't much else to the right. I enter a large room at the left wide of the house with dark wooden cabinets situated around the walls. There's a large over in the center. I quickly find a small area in the right with many cabinets and figure it must be where they stock food. I find a several boxes and decide on a box of cookies as well as a cookie cereal. I head out through a side door and continue out by the side of the house in the night. I go to open the box of cookies and hope it's not too hard considering the plastic wrap. I try to tear it, yet don't have any success. I look on the ground, find a sharp stick, then pierce the plastic. I notice that inside there are just large brown sheets, about half an inch thick. I continue to walk toward the street as I take a bite, yet it just tastes like cardboard. I go to spit it out and walk a bit farther, yet I wake up.
2. Matcha (LD)
This looks dreamlike...nose pinch, I'm lucid. Thought so. I'm standing in a bedroom in Meadow main house. I turn and phase through the bedroom door and head down the walk way. I fly over the railing and decide to get a drink before exploring the front. I'll have a matcha this time. I enter the kitchen, expecting a matcha latte being in the fridge to the right when I open it. I find it immediately on a shelf, grab it, and begin to head to the front of the house. I want to check that it's accurate, so I look inside and notice that the drink is a light green. Perfect. I head to the front and phase through the front doors. I just had some caffeine, so maybe my awareness will... I look up and the dream is highly vivid, along with a stable awareness. Awesome. I continue to walk down the walkway, heading right, considering where to explore. I wake up.
3. Meditation Above The Town (LD)
I'm standing in a dim room. This seems like a dream. I'm lucid. I nose pinch and begin to look around. I see someone in bed and I sense that it's Bran. I stop, put my arms in front of me, and ground, taking five slow deep breaths. My awareness becomes more stable. I decide not to interact and to simply explore the area. I phase through the wall to my right and find myself flying high above in what appears to be an old town. It's daytime and I notice the buildings are all constructed from dark brown brick. The architecture seems more western European. I consider some goals and decide to go for phoenix. I raise my arm for the phoenix gauntlet, yet don't see it. I cast my arm forward and see a faint, large shadowy bird appear in the far distance, yet it's not very defined. I continue to fly, and look for the ring of elements, yet I don't have it on. I decide to go for some ice anyway. I cast my arm and see some snow flurries around my field of vision. I fly down and look over to the green hills to my right, noticing some small structures. I try to determine if any of the buildings seem to be reserved for me as in past lucids - nothing appears to be though. I feel this would be a cool place to come back to. I fly to the center of the town and decide to play around with gravity. I put a foot on the lower edge of a massive building, then flip gravity 90 degree. I see top edge of the building in the far distance and zoom across it, rapidly reaching the upper ledge. I flip gravity upright once again and reach the roof. I head to the far end and look around. I'll try time dilation and element manipulation. I sit on the edge and meditate for a moment. I then push the time sphere outward and contract it back inward - it's invisible this time. I then imagine the scene freezing over and I see shards of ice scatter on the periphery of my visual field. I stand up as things feel a little less stable, and I head to my left. I see a tree a consider ripping the entire thing out. The dream seems to be fading, so I drop down and begin rubbing the floor. I continue for a while, then head forward and tear the tree out. I could probably do that in real life though... I continue to rub as I visualize a scene. I soon see an image of my own face. I hold my awareness for a bit, then wake up.
Katana Wall (NLD)
I'm with a Anth and some other people in a large, rectangular, dim room. He's talking and we all look at a wall to our left. It has various art items, several of which seem to be in the shape of katanas. They're black with some reddish etchings on them. I head away from the wall and see that there are spots on either side of the room where seats used to be inserted. I see the anchor areas where the seats where, as in a car, and the felt depressions with metal in the area. I notice that almonds are scattered around the one to the right. I'm a bit embarrassed at first as I wonder if it was me who did that. I then think that it's Anth's spot so it must be his mess; apparently he likes almonds. I head back to the wall and find a large, curved scimitar. I pick it up off the wall and draw then blade. It's fairly thin and sharp. I show it to ant and begin to ask about a metal connection piece in the center which appears like a part that connects pipe. He explains it a bit more.
Luna Rose
Night 10
I'm walking in a dim area. Wait... this is a dream! I begin to walk forward a bit more, but lose lucidity.
Night 11
I continue sitting at the table with several people, eating a wedding cake. Wait...we already had our wedding...this is a dream! I begin to walk off from the table, but wake up
Summer Competition 2024 - Night 10
I'm lucid, standing next to a bed with a circular blue and silver item in my hand. Time to engage I continue to walk out of the room, focusing intently on the dream content. The dream stabilizes as I approach the main walkway of the second floor - I recognize it as the main house in Meadow. I float over the railing toward the upper window, yet gravity tugs me down. It's daytime and quite a bit of sunlight is pouring through the glass windows in the front of the house. I decide to just do a phase through the front door and possibly fly later. I go right through and begin to go for a transformation. I've been doing that a lot lately...I'll do some other control. I turn right and begin heading down the walkway and think of summoning a phoenix. I take in the surrounding and appreciate how vivid everything is; it feels just like waking life. I feel like this one could last a while. I raise my right arm for the phoenix gauntlet, yet only see a faint outline. I wave my arm to summon it, yet don't see it where I intend.I'll just keep exploring and it'll probably show up. I continue to walk down the driveway and as I reach the bottom, be begin to float upward to transform in to a phoenix. I wake up.
DEILD - (felt more like a full WILD, but counting as DEILD)
I'm lucid in an area next to some large brick buildings. It's some type of lot with quite a few people gathered ahead in front of what appears to be the entrance to the building. I begin engaging immediately, walking forward and taking in the surroundings. I continue forward and notice two females who appear to be adversaries, facing toward me, ready for a battle.. One in front seems to have some type of blade. I reach to my side and raise two small katanas. I chuck them one at a time toward the figure in the distance, yet both curve and miss. She throws a blade toward me, yet I dodge it as well. I decide to use a ninja star. I reach down, grab one and chuck it as well, yet miss once again. Time for TK I walk forward, raise my right arm, and lift her about three stories in the air before slamming her back down, knocking her out. I turn right to the other opponent. I lift her up and chuck her about twenty feet, knocking her out as well. I begin to fly toward the entrance of the building, ready to explore. I enter the front doors and notice that it appears like a hotel lobby. I head to the right, approaching a guy in a black stuit working behind the main desk. He grins at me. I begin to hear my own breathing and noitce that it sounds louder than usual as I have earplugs in. I know I need to refocus on the dream or I'll risk waking. I focus my attention fully, and appreciate how viivd the scene is. I turn from the guy and explore toward a back room. I enter and it appear to be the convenience store part of the hotel. There are candy type items all around the perimeter in small containers. I look around, then notice someone who appears like a family friend. She smiles and I give her a hug. I begin to head out, then realize I should eat something for the competition! I head back in and look around the boxes in the back. I see twizzlers, but I don't want any. I decide on the the sour patch sour sticks, containing about three flavors. I head back out to the lobby and continue down the hallway. I hope this will be easy to open... I tear the plastic and bite into it. The flavor is great with strong sweet and sour notes! I continue to float down the hallway, thinking of what to do next. I see some thick plastic sheets hanging in the room in the far back of the first floor. I phase through the front portion, heading behind the hotel. I wake up.
Summer Competition - Night 9
1. Mall Balcony (LD)
I'm in what seems to be a mall thinking about states of consciousness, especially, LDing. I turn to Bran and become lucid. I tell him to check out what I'm going to do. I fly upward toward a walkway a couple stories above with a railing on the edge. As I fly, it seems as though I'm not making progress at the midway point. Time for hookshot.I raise my right arm and fire a hookshot to the upper rail. I immediately zoom up to it and float over. I notice dad far down tot he left and fly over to him.
"Hey dad." I look down at my hands, breathing slowly, grounding. I wake up.
Record - Back to Sleep.
2. Mall Walkway (LD)
I'm in a mall walking in a central area.
"This is a dream...This is a dream...This is a dream." My hands come out in front of me as I become lucid.
"I'm lucid". I turn left, considering some control. I see a large metallic kiosk and figure I may as well do some super strength. I pick the whole thing up and chuck it down the central walkway of the mall. I then turn right and see a guy in a suit working behind a counter area. I decide to interact, so I float over to him and adjust his bowtie, laughing. I then decide to use invisibility to steal the gold pin he's wearing. I snap, go invisible, and snatch it easily - the man looks past me as I do so. I come out of invisibility and place it back into his hand, laughing. I float off farther down the central walkway and take in the sites of the shops to the side. I go for some time dilation and begin to levitate. I imagine the scene freezing over and see a bit of vague frost over the edge of my field of vision. I imagine the dream freezing in time. I stand back up and float farther down, going for fireball. It doesn't cast right away, so I look at my right hand for the ring of elements and see it on my index finger. I then go to cast fireblast, yet don't have any luck. I continue to float forward to a room toward the edge of the mall. Several people are gathered, especially in an area to the left which drops down slight via a couple of stairs - they appear to be playing instruments. I explore toward the back and notice a large black double door in a dim area. I begin to feel the dream may be fading. I turn back from where I came, exploring in that area. Once again, I find a double door to the left in a dim area. I begin to imagine that it's daytime beyond. As I turn, the whole area seems to dim. I imagine a light turning on in front of me and begin to see a white light appearing in the walkway in front of me, illuminating around it. The dream rapidly fades, however, and I wake up.
Record - Back to Sleep
3. Hotel Room (LD)
I'm in a bathroom for a solid two to three minutes, thinking about dreams and noticing my dream signs. I think that with practicing heightened awareness, I may be able to notice more. I look around. Where the heck am I?? I feel a bit of concern and stand up.
Nose pinch. I'm lucid. I begin thinking about what I'd like to do and phase into the door to my right. The dream quickly goes to void. I start rubbing around in the void for a while, waiting; I'm unsure if I'm going to wake up and I'm trying to prevent it. I soon find myself on the floor of a hotel room, right in front of a queen bed. I stand, walk over to the sheets, and pull them back. I notice it's Han. I give her a big hug. I soon wake up.
