After the first week of May, most of my lucids were pretty short and dream recall wasn't not that great... But I've been doing my best to get back in the game, especially since yesterday when finally had some rest from studies and other obligations. And to my surprise, I managed to have a great night tonight - with 10 dreams, 1 DILD and 3 DEILDs (and about 25 minutes of lucidity)... I also remembered to do some tasks, and I already did one a couple of days back, so here is my full TOTM report:
Basic I - Morning of the 21 (probably won't DJ it):
Had two very short LDs that night. The first one was a FA in bed immediately after a WILD attempt. Since it's very short, here's the lucid:
Quote:
I wake up in bed, and the room appears normal, but notice I'm seated. I recall how hard I tried to have a WILD just seconds ago and also pretty certain that I was laying on my back when "trying" to fall asleep, and realize "this must be a dream!!!" I feel very tired and this tells me the dream is about to fade (and for some reason I didn't even think of stabilizing). But I recall the TOTMs and decide that the one I suggested is the easier one (taste what's in your mouth). I focus on the taste in my mouth but can't taste anything... I keep focusing on "tasting something" and as my vision fades I started tasting cocoa milk in my mouth. Last thing I remember was realizing that it must be because of the cocoa milk I drank during the WBTB (before the WILD attempt), and I just fell "asleep".
Basic I and Bonus x2 - Morning of the 24:
Dream #6: This happened after a WBTB of 30 minutes (recording the previous dreams) + WILD. The dream started as a FA. A lot of NSFW non-lucid stuff happened in the beginning, so I'll skip it...

...... I get of the bed and put on shorts, while looking out of the window. The NSFW thing from before still bags me as I'm not sure how it was possible, plus I notice that the other buildings in the neighborhood look "different"... I become confused, and think something like "If this wouldn't have been real I would be sure it's a dream..." (:chuckle:) This reminds me that I haven't RCed upon waking up, so I decide I have to RC to keep the habit up. For some reason I go with the telekinesis RC (not one of my RL RCs), and try to move a tissue paper roll with 'my mind' while gesturing with the hands... I wasn't focusing that much and just touched the roll (so it moved), so I tried again on a mug (which is not there IRL, btw) and suddenly the mug move slightly! Realizing it's a dream, I was more confident now, and the mug flew off the table with another "push" but I "caught" it mid air (telekinetically). While playing with the mug in air (like "swaying" it around the room), I thought to myself that this is just my luck - to get a lucid after a long NSFW dream, imagining how awkward it would be to write about it on the DV chat... "Oh, this reminds me, TOTMs!" I decide to have another go with Basic I as I recalled the previous go I had with it and it wasn't the best... I focus on my taste and it tastes like toothpaste tastes after you sleep, which made sense... The more I focused on it the more bitter the taste became - I concluded it might have something to do with the old walnut cookies I ate in the WBTB (but they weren't even close to that bitterness level). By that point, the mug was swaying in air on it's own so switched my focus on the bonus task and grabbed my mobile phone. I was about to use the Notepad app equivalent to write some code, but was starting to wake up... Holding tight to the phone I DEILD focusing on it.
Dream #7:
Quote:
I wake up in my sister's car as we stop near her house. I'm still holding the phone and realize it's a dream as I remember what happened just before... Mom and sister exit the car, and order two women "take him" - referring to me (I was like "what the hell?"). The brown haired woman pulled out two glass syringes with tranquilizer (I assumed) and crawled into the car trying to stab me with them. I fight her off with my feet (still "seated" in the car, after realizing that they've locked the other doors so I can't get out) while stabilizing the dream by "feeling up" my chest area and hands. I then recalled the bonus task (and while still kicking to her direction) I open the phone. Couldn't find the notepad, so tried to write the code in the dial app, but the keyboard there didn't have signs like ; {} (which is true in real life!), so I tried to locate other apps to write in like the messages app or What's app... They weren't where they were supposed to be, but I found there this Google Now widget so I typed "compiler" there and pressed searched. An app with running code opened up, in a language I don't recognize (I only know C, C++). Looked something like this, when I "paused" the code:
...
50: move A to A[];
51: add M into A;
52: swap A, B;
53: PAUSED;
With an input line below it.
I got distracted as the brown haired woman nearly stabbed me and got into the car, so I fought her more seriously until I overpowered her and injected the syringes into her - one in the chest, one in the abdomen. The second woman (the redhead), trying to get me thru the window but couldn't and then tried to convince me to surrender while getting into the car too... Long story short, she didn't have any weapon so I after some arguing I just ignored her and kicked to her direction (so she can't get in), and turn the focus back to the phone. Before that, I also noticed how hot it was getting in the car and how sweaty I'm, and also re-stabilized (the same way like before). Back to the coding - I was curious to find out what writing "54: _swap B, A;_" will do, so I typed it and pressed "execute" and the screen started glitching - so the next line I wrote was "swap A, B;" to fix it. While still kicking, I typed "show A[];" but it returned "56: ERROR;". I scrolled up and copied lime 51 and executed it but nothing seemed to change... Then I typed "57: print;" and had to add the ";" after the "execute" didn't work, and even after adding it (and the "execute" became pressable) but nothing happened. The brown hair woman was waking up so they she joined the redhead to stand a better chance... We wrestled in the car and I ended up in the front row, so I plug the phone into the computer of the car via the charger cable (the car has a screen IRL too)... While still wrestling, I pressed "execute" again (line 57) - and the whole code started running on the car's screen. When it reached line 57 it returned "58: ERROR;". Well, so be it... :P Anyway, I was waking up and it was very hot and sweaty so to successfully DEILD I knew I have to focus on one thing out of the whole mayhem - so I grabbed the nearest thing, the brown haired woman's arms, and DEILDed.
Dream #8:
Quote:
Summery - the woman and me appeared in my mom's house, I was still lucid and had to explain to her how she got there. I then looked around to observe for changes and tried to find a phone to continue the coding... While searching one of the closets, the second woman (redhead) jump out of it and pushed me and we fell into the bed. I was trying to explain to her what's happening but it took some time since she was pissed... Anyway, the brown haired woman helped me with her, and she apologized. They asked me what I usually do when I'm lucid... I told them about the tasks but that I can't do it for the lack of the phone so I might as well practice something else instead of summoning a phone, etc... "Other than that I do all kinda stuff," and while looking at their 'chest area' I continued "but I know what I'd do now..." (just to clarify, both were hot 30-year-olds, so that kinda just escaped my mouth, now that we aren't fighting...). They both smiled and were like "that's actually a great way to spend a dream!" I wasn't going to waste time explaining that's it's only my dream, but did apologize for being rude, but they said they meant it... So we started making out, and jumped into bed... After some "fun time", the dream started destabilizing (they were in panties and I'm in my shirt by that point). Trying to DEILD again, I grabbed onto the bed covers with my left hand and a pillow with the right.
Dream #9:
Quote:
Summery - I woke up in my room in bed, but I knew it's still a dream. The room was dim and lit by candles. Two men entered the room and after some confusion (which I'll skip) they explained the the women from before are their wives, and that they are on the way here after "a long ladies night" (and I quote!), and that we're about to have an orgy. It was kinda awkward, since the men gave bisexual vibe and while the blond spiked guy with the glass left the room to "fetch some food" the other one got into the bed... But you know, it's a dream, so despite it being weird for me I wasn't bothered by it too much (because at any point I can just end it). Anyway, after several minutes I was searching for my phone (as I remembered the coding task, but didn't want to leave the room yet)... I couldn't find it so asked the dark haired guy's phone... What he gave me was an old Nokia brick, but I thanked him anyway. After trying to find where I can write some code there, I realized it's taking too long and not gonna work. So I told him - "I'll just upgrade your phone for you..." and changed it to essentially a screen... It had a notepad app, and when I started writing code I had to re-stabilize, which meant that the dream was about to fade soon... So I stuck to the basics, and just wrote:
main(){printf(hello world!);} // and yes, I know I forgot the the "" and the library, but I did my best ;)
Anyway, I couldn't run it, and when the women finally came I got distracted and soon after was waking up. I thought I should DEILD again, but the thought that I have to record all of these dreams distracted my from doing a proper DEILD and I decided I lost my chance and just let myself "wake up". But what I didn't know is that I didn't really wake up... In fact dream 10 started here - and one of the first things I did there was trying to record my dreams (but quickly got distracted)...
