I am recalling a passage describing how Socrates advised people to contemplate themselves in a mirror to improve self-knowledge. As I do so I see a personal desktop mirror and the reflection of a woman with straight dark hair.
I am reading something about the TV show severance. A scene where 2 characters are in a lift and recalling all their memories. I am now in a sparse office space. Next to me is a large man dressed in a shirt and glasses, wit a red beard. He talks to me then gets up leading me across the office. Briefly stopping to talk to another middle-aged large woman. He makes a comment about how she can’t criticise him because of his weight. He then leads me to a set of white drawers and opens the top one. He talks to me regarding them. I walk off and then wonder if I am dreaming. Ot occurs to m that I am dreaming. I breathe deeply to stabilise the dream then I recall you should look at my hands and do so. I walk through the office regularly looking at my hands, noticing their shifting, distorted appearance and thinking to myself that I am in a dream, I am somewhat worried that I will lose lucidity or wake up. I go to a do and wish that when I open it I will emerge somewhere else. I enter a large room with black walls and a black ceiling. There is a desk with a man sat behind it and another man stood in front of it. Both in suits. I think this is referencing another tv show and I feel annoyed. I go to another door and go through it. I am between two rows of lockers, a child and a woman further along. I pass them and weave through some more aisles until I reach another open area. I go up to what appears to be a large door. As I get closer to it I see that it is made up of all these smaller hatches like letter boxes opening and closing. I think mail is flying through it. I wish to end up in a house. I Open the whole thing and enter, apparently ending up in a house. I wake up.
The second dream I had after waking up about 3 hours before I get up. I noted down my dreams and used the Senses Induced Lucid Dream Technique. I’m not sure if it was a true lucid dream or a dream about lucid dreaming but I’ll take it as an overall positive sign.

I am in a group of people which includes my younger brother, we are exploring this vast space of rooms, all mostly coloured in different shades of yellow. We rest at these lobby areas surrounded by personal bedrooms. I share a 2 bedroom room with my brother. We reach another lobby area. I go in one room with Isaac and explore its interior. It doesn’t make sense. All twists and turns, I go down a couple steps into an area with seating on the left looking something like a lounge area but its all weird, you have to climb over some seating places to get to others. I want my own room so I go back outside to find one of my own. My brother tells me to find one without a lit light. At the doors are opened by a button that has a red led under it, some of them are clearly lit but I struggle to make out whether some doors are lit or not. It is frustrating.
I am trapped with others, my wrists bound ad kneeling on the floor in the corner of a room with other trapped individuals. Inside a yellow walled, floored and ceiling room. Some people (women?) come into the room. I notice some sharp pieces of material on the floor and intend to use them to cut my bonds and fight out. I am now out of the room sneaking through this generally dark warehouse area. Hiding from Orcs. When I get caught, I am sent back to the beginning. I escape and make it across to the top of a grassy hill where some caravans are. I enter the on I was in. Inside I face a larger than me mirror. I think I can see the yellow room in it. I realise they caught me through the mirror. I take it down and place it on the floor. I look outside a window, I notice some reflection in the window. Could they use that? I think that would be too silly. I flee wth another young man into the night.
I am with the militant atheist biologist Jerry Coyne. We are looking at this table with books on them. Some of them are glowing with different colours. Something happens and now I am with him and the table in some sort of canyon. The table now has stuff on it regarding the Airbenders. I see a quote talking about the trials an Airbender would go through spiritually progress or something and I see something about them going to a high point on the canyon. I tell Coyne to go there to see the wider area and he does so. I find a locket containing an Airbender quote. I try to read it, now there are hands in the locket like a clock. The points have circles and symbols.

I have not remembered any dreams today.
Last night I set an intention to wake up at a certain time to practice senses induced lucid dreaming. While I did wake up at the time, I ended up rolling over and going back to sleep without recording my dreams or properly practicing the method. Perhaps I should make sure I get up from bed (or at least sit up) for a few minutes the next time I try this.

I am sat at a computer playing some sort of video game where I am driving a car with my Mum as the passenger. I end up on a tangle of train tracks striving to dodge the oncoming trains. I drive on a track off the screen and end up in a 2d level in some sort of tunnel with the car and the ground above and below us being coloured white and the empty space coloured black. A message talks about crouching to avoid being crushed and the ground above comes down I fail and the level restarts. I figure out that I have to go into this dip in the ground and press a button causing the car to crouch down. Mum enters the room and demands to know what I am playing. Apparently, I was supposed to be doing something else. I feel embarrassed.
I am in some sort of city or exploring a city in some sort of 2d game wit 3d graphics. The city is made of stone, lots of old tyle buildings. Like some cities in Europe. I walk through a crowded area and end up in a Church with angelic statues. A box pops up describing them as statues of the moonmaiden. A woman talks to me saying the things I came for are well hidden. I am confused, she goes on and explains she is referring to the tombs, apparently thinking I am here to rob them. I leave. I am now in a sparse house talking to some people who I know are poor. Asking how I think I can help them. I Point to a hole in the ceiling which is currently covered by part of a giant bottle of Dr. Pepper on its side. I explain I can use magic to increase the size of items allowing them to live on a much smaller amount of stuff. Something happens. I am now on an upper floor looking down below. Something has happened and caused a rift between us. I toss down a crisp and it grows before it lands on the floor. I begin to write a goodbye note as well.
I am watching some sort of animation with commentary describing Ralph Waldo Emerson going into his wife’s tomb and opening her coffin to get over his grief. After it shows him leaving I am now playing some sort of third person racing game where I am controlling a guy on a horse racing along part of a path surrounded by grass and trees. I struggle but reach the finish. Someone else takes over and begins to race back along the course aiming to complete it under the needed time. He does much better.
I am playing some sort of science fiction game. I am controlling some sort of war machine coloured like bone, shaped something human shaped, maybe it’s a man in power armour. Some back story about Humanity having achieved utopia and the people we are playing as are soldiers who’ve been stored on computer chips in case another threat arises. I hear the nae Dwarrow which may be the name of the protagonist. I am Fighting aliens. I end up jumping into a compound with a load of aliens and I immediately regret it. I did not intend to do that.

Some things I recognised from my dreams:
I played Baldur’s gate 3 with a friend las night so that;s where the medieval style city came from as well as the “moonmaiden” (a title of Selune a moon goddess from the setting). There was also a bit when I helped some refugees in the game so that may have been an influence.
The bit about Emerson visiting his wife’s tomb came from an article I read years ago. But I have not been able to find it. According to the article Emerson was able to recover from his grief and move on after he looked into his wife’s coffin and it applies it to letting go of old hopes and dreams by honestly confirming to ourselves that they are dead and we need to move on.
The video game at the end I believe was inspired by me reading about this game:
It included voice actin by british actor Paul Darrow.
What’s weird is that I read this years and years ago.

I am in the back seat of a car being driven down a motorway at night. I see fires and lights coming from what I assume are factories. The car is moving fast. I am sleepy and try to make use of the senses induced lucid dream technique.
I am maybe on a ship or just in a room with wooden planks as a floor. People are dressed in old style clothes. A voice tells me that I am in a duel with another pirate. I Choose it to be a cutlass duel. I grab it and the voice tells me to turn it around as I am holding it wrong. We stand backs to each other and walk out. I stop at the wall. I am scared my opponent will turn and stab me, because these are pirates do they really obey he rules. I turn when the voice says so and face off against my opponent. He quickly cuts me and that’s it. I lost, the duel was to fist blood.
I recall what were either some false awakenings or me briefly waking up in bed.

I am looking at a scene in some sort of High School/college. A young woman is talking to others and then another young woman who is wearing a green apron and looks a bit like a hippie appears and flings raw sausages at her before leaving. The people around me talk about this incident. I wonder why the 2nd girl would use sausages, surely she does not eat meat. I see a scene of the green girl packing away the sausages to use in the attack. I am now seeing here sat behind a makeshift stall secretly eating sweets. Before people appear to buy from here. I realise that she has sweets, such as jelly babies, blatantly placed out in the open in foil containers and is in fact selling them. I see Lotus Biscoff muffins and a lotus Biscoff cake. Someone remarks that she makes a different cake every time to keep people coming back. I am now wandering around the place. Something about Principal Skinner (after he got fired) and a snake guy from some video game working here with titles that include the term Chan. I am now walking up this spiral staircase with a bunch of women in dresses. I get confused at way I am here ad where I a so I step off on a floor to let everyone go up before I go back down. I am now sliding down across grassy sloped fields and actual slides. Trying to get the floating coins (or maybe they’re rings). I muse about my struggles with envy and get annoyed that no one actually provides advice on how to deal with it despite admonishing people to not do it. The only thing I can come up with is to notice how miserable it makes you feel. I am now lying down in some sort of caravan or bungalow. Stuck in some sort of tight sleeping bag. The man who lives here comes and helps me up and talks about how he to got lost at the Christmas Markets. I reply that its usually not an issue as I tend to stick to the same area. I leave and walk down a street lined with trees. Passing groups of people. As I walk it starts to rain and I am annoyed. I start to hear the song Iron Man by Black Sabbath start to play.

Remembered I also had this one last night:
I am outside (or maybe inside in a place with a white floor) looking at the ground. It is covered in many large and round stones. They are covered in what appears to be blood. It starts to rain a bit which begins to clear the blood, revealing many of the stones to be covered in green moss. I feel sad but also somewhat hopeful at the prospects of renewal. I think I hear the song All the Kings Horses by Blind Guardian Playing.

I am inside in a large open area. People are walking al around, preparing for something. I see a silver coloured C3PO style robot. I know I am in Star Wars. Padme is making preparations to meet Anakin. I hear one woman remark that she is responsible for preparing and is not concerned with why this is being done. I wonder how the hell they kept their relationship secret.
I am hearing Weird Al Yankovich’s American Pie Star Wars Parody song.
I am driving a car, Dad is next to me and my younger brother is in the back. I am driving along the roads in daytime in a red and rather boxy looking car. I am heading into the Trafford Centre. I end up going onto the curb at one point and I fear I scraped our car along another that was passing us. I enter the lower car park. I get near an area with a escalator. Now I need to find a place to park.
I am watching a friend playing Mechanicus 2. She is doing something on a screen showing the planet you are fighting over. I remark that the game is so hard. She replies that I am wrong and the game is pretty easy. I am now just seeing the game and nothing else. I get a report from Khepra, a commander on the surface. The message says something about the nine being sidelined or something. I find a menu giving details on the background/lore, with the nine being the traditional supreme military leaders. Most of the pictures are greyed out except 2 of a man and woman. The info says they are elected from Katel and Vortash the 2 planets responsible for building the majority of the fleet. I get a cutscene where a fancily dressed man appears and talks to my character, I hire him to do something. I click on some more things and get a cutscene where I am apparently restoring a dilapidated human settlement at great expense, on behalf of a woman who is dressed like one of those old style puritans. In the cutscene my character praises the woman for her actions, “she has not saved our bodies but rather our souls” something like that.
I am stood in a room with the walls covered in pipes and machinery, looking like they are made of brass and copper. I am stood at some machine, it rises to around waist height and extends across the whole room and away from me. Immediately in front of me I have some food that I am cooking. I hear something and look around. I see a man nearby also at the machine and behind me 2 women dressed in military uniforms with red coats. They want to take us somewhere. I am embarrassed because I have not ate yet and I have been cooking this for a long time. I try to turn it off put struggle with the switch, I eventually realise I can just copy the position of all the switches around it.

I am in a Corner Shop. I am crouched down near the counter looking at chocolate bars. A narrative in my head speaks about Mars Bars, I see an image of one, with the price on it reading 49p. It speaks about how Mars Bars have always been more expensive than other chocolate bars. With the current rising prices this has led to the creation of imitation brands and it names the 2 most popular ones. I find them, I consider buying on of them before standing up deciding to go see what the price of a pack of Mars Bars here is.
I am in a long upper room, with a blue carpet and tables set up all around. A woman dressed in a dark dress, or maybe a jacket and skirt is at the front. We are alone. She is trying to teach me something. I keep getting distracted by the wind whistling through a window at the opposite end. It sounds almost like a voice and that creeps me out. I try to close it but realise I have just drawn a blinds/insect net(?) over it, I lift it up again to close the actual window. Other people now enter the room. The rest of the students.
I am in Minecraft. I go with some other players and we end up finding some sort of platform that takes us up. We end up on a floating platform and start exploring. There is a giant apple, one player with a Minecraft skin of a cat gets excited by this and starts mining into it. I hear someone else come back talking about the amazing loot they got. I go with a player whose skin is a fish with legs. We end up in some sort of settlement, filled with weird looking NPCs. The player that got the loot warns us that the NPCs turn hostile at night if there’s no loot. We have to wait for he next day to go back and get more loot. We leave. I wander around, it is the next day. I fall off the platform. I end up in a shaft of platforms that briefly hold before falling down. Below me I see a group of players on one of them. I end up causing the platform to fall and everyone complains about being prevented from getting to the floating platform.

I only remember a few fragments:
I am in a desert with someone else hunting something. We are stood on a large mass of rock gazing out at a mass of rocks in the shape of a ring, there is a hole through to the central space. There is located the lair of the monster. I can see inside the ring a circular building at the centre. A monastery, the monks who lived there have been forced out by the monster. I then see the surrounding ring of rock is actually a giant building.
I am wandering around my home. I get it in my head to do a sketch showing exactly my first person view like that drawing. I wonder how to do it a bit differently. Perhaps standing up and looking down.
This is the drawing by the way, by Physist and Philosopher Ernst Mach. The speed of sound (Mach 1) is named after him:
Douglas Harding was inspired by the portrait to develop his ‘On Having no Head’ approach to Zen.
I am outside, something about me recalling walking late at night to a friends house to get medicine. The light is very dim and overcast, possibly nearing nightime.

I recall several fragments clearly inspired by the Doctor Who episodes Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead. Those episodes were scary. Also weird is that I recall noting the connection in the dream but it did not occur to me to check if I was dreaming.

I am walking around, exploring this urban area. I end up distracted by a narrow wooden table with boxes of dominoes set up on them with eats on either side, as if people can play here. I pick up a couple of dominoes then put them back. I note that there appears to be no rules for playing it. I pick up a small box that seems to be Marvel Avengers themed dominoes except their cube shaped. I am now in an out of bounds area of the game. I spot a secret item I have yet to get and excitedly go to get it. I see others and go to pick up them until I see loads of them around and realise that I am in fact probably not meant to be here. This is just all of the secret items. I still get a few more just so I can almost have all of them. I’ll get the final few legitimately. I wander towards a small white building, interested to see what may be inside.
I am reading a sourcebook for the Mage The Awakening RPG it talks about potential deviant Obrimos Mages. Describing one group that look like aliens and fly around in weird looking blue airships that are the cause of most UFO sightings. I am now inside some house with a few other people. There is a cage with a small dog looking monster, its skin is bare mutated flesh and it has multiple eyes across its body. Someone mentions the deviant mages turn animals and people into these as a food source. A man dressed in a lab coat goes and tries to scratch its skin to get a sample an he turns into a larger version of it, lying still on the floor. I go with a bald older man and a dark haired woman, they try to use psychic powers to mercy kill the mutant but they are unable to do so completely they lack sufficient points. I am back in the original room. The dog like creature is now being sliced into slowly by a small laser. It will take a long time to mercy kill him. Some people come into the room, a man and a woman. We go to escort them out. I say we are mages, but that they should not tell anyone else because they won’t believe them. I think to myself what would happen if I told them Vampires and Werewolves are real as well. I raise my hand and try to make fire appear in my palm to amuse them but I fail. We get to their care. There are a bunch of puddles on he ground. I decide to manipulate them to amuse the people.
I am walking on a beach with people I know, it is daytime. I see man drop his phone, it sinks into the sand. I go and pick it up. It is nightime. I go to give it back, holding it out to him. He sees me but does nothing. I drop it on the sand on its back. It lies there. I walk away.

I am entering an upper floor of this large shopping centre like area. While it is daytime outside the inside is lit solely with artificial lights, in various colours, some of them look like Christmas lights. Down on the lower floor people seem to be having a big party. I turn to the right and wander into a small bookstore. I wander around looking at the shelves. I overhear some young women talking about needing to find something, some sort of old book and there is some sort of scavenger hunt going on here. Hearing that the book is old I briefly consider looking through the shelf of old second hand books. But I leave instead. Nearer to the entrance is a Waterstones but it doesn’t look like many people are in there and there is a queue to at the entrance. I talk to one young woman in the queue and she tells me that I can go in and they are just waiting for something specific. I do see a desk with an old man with a white beard is sat at so perhaps they are waiting to talk with him. I briefly go inside then leave again. I enter another more general shop and look around. I am now walking near a man and a woman ad they are complaining about the sweets prominently displayed here. The sweets are some sort of bad tasting knock off brand.
I am walking around in a town somewhere. It is the evening. I go to a small bookstore I see but a man is leaving and locking the front door. I shout a big No! I observe that normally the store closes at 8pm but on Mondays it closes at 7pm. It is a Monday and it is 7pm. I wish I went t go to it earlier instead of putting it off.
