Competition Thread #14

[Scionox]

To spice things up and to try to get some people's motivation back up and running, Nito and Matte87 have come up with an idea of having a little competition. I decided to take the flag on and do my best to continue the competitions. Two weeks and one day from this post i will calculate the scores and choose the winner, but please add the points you deserve in your posts as well to help tracking the count. The winner will get a nice prize! Remember that you can get maximum 20 points from doing tasks in single dream. Tasks marked with an * are not counted towards this limit. To get points from dream control tasks you have to be lucid ofcourse, otherwise points from those tasks are not counted. Be sure to post dream journal entries for lucid dreams as well, either here or as a link to dreamviews dream journal, not only for confirming points but also for an interesting read. Basic/Standard Tasks Remember the fragment of the dream - 0.5 point* Remember the whole dream - 1 point* Become lucid - 5 points (Note: You get points for 'becoming' lucid even when you are lucid from the start, like when WILDing) Do an successful Reality Check - 1 point Successfully stabilize the dream - 2 points Doing WBTB - Wake Back To Bed - 1 point for failed attempt / 3 points for successful attempt* (Points count only once per day, going back to sleep immediately after waking up does not counts) Successful WILD - Wake Induced Lucid Dream - 3 points Successful DEILD - Dream Exit Induced Lucid Dream - 2 points (Note: Becoming lucid does not counts when chaining DEILDs, and the point limit is 10 in those DEILDs) Interact with a Dream Character - 2 points Flying - 4 points Telekinesis - 4 points Super Strength - 4 points Super Speed - 4 points Basic Summoning - 4 points (Summoning from the pocket / Make someone appear from around the corner / behind) Gain Invulnerability - 4 points Eat Something - 4 points Push your hand through an solid object - 4 points (Note: 'Pushing finger through hand' reality check does not counts) Partial Transformation - 4 points Advanced Tasks Teleport - 7 points Element Manipulation - 8 points Fully move through big solid object - 8 points (Like the wall for example, keep the eyes open) Advanced Flying - 10 points (Flying at high speed / into the space) Advanced Summoning - 10 points (Make something/someone appear right in your direct view / summon something extraordinary) Mass Telekinesis - 10 points (Use telekinesis on ten objects at the same time or one enormous object) Time Control - 10 points (Speeding up/slowing down/stopping time intentionally, teleportation into different time doesn't counts for this(but counts for Teleport task)) Full Transformation - 10 points Challenge Tasks I will announce the challenge tasks periodically as well as the points you can get for them. You have the time to achieve the task until the next task is announced, but i will post a message one day before next set of challenge tasks is announced as a warning, so keep an eye on that as well. The points from the challenge tasks are awarded both for you and your team and they do not count towards the 20 points per-dream maximum. Current Tasks Lower League Basic Task -Bake some food from unusual/non-food ingredients, describe the result and taste - 10 points Upper League Advanced Task -Teleport/travel to some alternate dimension, then bake food from any unusual objects you find here, return and share it with DC, describe taste/result/reaction - 20 points Bonus Task -Find or summon a Dragon and befriend him/her - 15 points Three Step Tasks You choose three different kinds of dream control tasks from the list above except for stabilization and reality check ones. When you achieve the first task, you get 5 points in addition to the points from the task. When you achieve the second task you get 10 additional points, but only if the first task is already done. And when you achieve the third one you get 15 additional points only if second task is done. Additional points from each task can be gotten only once and you have to choose them before doing them. The points only count towards individual score, they don't add to the team score. Note: You don't have to do all of them in single dream, they can be done in different dreams. Team Tasks When you achieve the team task, you get the points like usually, but when another teammate achieves the task as well, the team gets 10 additional points. If the whole team achieves the same task, additional 10 points will be given to the team. Both additional point bonuses do not count towards the 20 points per-dream maximum. Team tasks can only be achieved once and they do not stack with Three Step Tasks. Meet your teammate - 5 points Exchange pocket content - 5 points Help your teammate to do dream control task from basic or advanced list - 5 points Explore the dreamworld with your teammate - 5 points Fight each other - 10 points Ask teammate to demonstrate the powers - 10 points Individual Scores (Note: In parentheses is how many points out of whole are gained from three step tasks, for the ease of checking/counting) Upper League BrandonBoss - 329(30) NyxCC - 301(30) Scionox - 261 dolphin - 187.5(5) dutchraptor - 174 Nfri - 154 DarkKiky0 - 144(5) Higat - 93(15) she - 90(30) splodeymissile - DQ Lower League bemistaken - 86 Angelpotter - 80(5) StaySharp - 43.5 dreambh - 35.5 Kactus - 23 covlad96 - 20 JoannaB - 19 Nelzi - 13.5 LonelyCloud - 13 TheSilverWolf - 13 LetoDK - 6 Sydney - 3.5 realdealmagic - DQ Team Scores (Note: In parentheses is how many points out of whole are gained from team tasks, for the ease of checking/counting) Upper League Team Cube - 570 Team Prism - 400 Team Torus - 388 Team Sphere - 260.5 Lower League Team Trapezium - 118.5 Team Circle - 89.5 Team Triangle - 67.5 Team Rhombus - 49 Team Square - 26.5 (Last score update was at GMT +3 03:51 PM 6th September) Note: Dreams you had Wednesday - Thursday night counts. Good luck and have awesome lucid dreams!

[Scionox]

Sorry, i have messed up dates a bit,started it earlier than planned and only realized afterwards... that happens... but hey, earlier can be better, right? I'll extend competition by one day to keep end date same though.

[JoannaB]

Oh, so this past night counts already? Well, I alas had only one measly fragment. Not much of a fragment at that: I remember there was a male teen in my dream and not one I know in waking life, and that's it. Still, I'll take the 0.5point if you want to give it to me. Good luck to everyone! Edit: oh and my 3ST: fly, basic summoning, and eat something. Could you remind me whether one needs to do them in order to get points for that, or not?

[StaySharp]

Well I had one complete dream, so there's 1 point. As for my 3ST: 1. Partial Transform 2. Fly 3. Elemental Manipulation

[Scionox]

21st Aug 2013 Fragments - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views 22nd Aug 2013 Short unstable lucid and false awakenings - Day 12 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views 4 fragments, 1 dream, 1 lucid and 1 partial transform, 12 points for a start. @JoannaB Yeah, they need to be done in order, but they can be done in different dreams and on different days, like task 1 in dream 1 and task 2 in dream 2 on next day. As for my three step: Full Transform Flight Element manipulation

[dolphin]

I had 2 dreams, 1 WILD, 1 become lucid. 10 points. My WILD was incredibly short. I saw the dream form before my eyes. I was watching some sort of game show on tv. I thought to myself "Yay! I'm dreaming!" and I woke up 2 seconds later. My 3 step tasks are Teleport, Full Transformation, Element Manipulation.

[Sensei]

Hmmm... 3 dreams last night. WBTB try. 4 points. Not gonna update again till Monday, less than the 1 week limit, but I figured I would let you and nyxcc know. 3 step. Teleport Time control Advanced summon

[Bharmo]

The night BEFORE the competition started I had my best LDing night ever: 4 dreams, of which one successful WBTB, and my first mini DEILD, flying, RCs, estabilization, etc etc. Well, back to the actual competition: Last night had a non-lucid where I was traveling on a cargo plain, and we had to seek and kill a small xenomorph (alien) that happened to be there without proper weapons. I beat it down with some home-made nunchucks and finish it off chewing its head... My subc forgot about the acid blood So that's just 1 point. My tasks: Flying, TK and want to try Pushing hand through something

[she]

had lucid .nothing interesting. wild.made 3 steps and awoke. 1fragment. 3.5 points. my 3step task will be 1.fully moved through a big solid object. 2 .summoning. 3. eat something

[NyxCC]

We are live? Had I known this, I wouldn't have fallen asleep and not journalled straight after my 3 mini-lds today. I do have notes from the lds but took them after final wake so some info is missing. Anyways, I will be posting later today or tomorrow. The three step task 1. Interact with a DC 2. Move through solid object (i.e. phase) 3. Advanced summon I already did the first one, but maybe it's kind of unfair to claim points for it, since I am selecting them post factum. BB I am checking the PMs now. Take care and till later!

[Higat]

So, one whole dream and a fragment... 1.5 pts For my three step tasks, I'll take Teleportation, Mass telekinesis and Time control

[NyxCC]

There: 4 frags (2), 3 dreams (3), 3 Lds (15), WBTB success (3), interact with a DCx3 ( 6), flyx2 (8), no points for 3ST claimed 37 points Not too nice contents but at least it was lucid: DJ Entry 22nd Aug/ Hmm, right, we agreed with BB that I might appear in tiger form for the team task, so he's gonna kick some fur soon.

[bemistaken]

We are live ?! Oh God, here I go! Good luck to all! Go Team Circle! I know I can, I know I can, I know I can...

[TheSilverWolf]

Here's the overview of my dreams from the 21st and the 22nd: 1 dream (1) 1 dream fragment (.5) 2 failed WBTB attempts (2); if I calculated my points correctly, that should come out to 3.5 points. Here's the link to my dream journal entries: The Restaraunt - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Taking a Class on Lucid Dreaming, WHILE Dreaming - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views One last thing: GO TEAM SQUARE--WOOOOO

[LucasPotter]

Hello. From Wednesday to Thursday, I had a dream fragment (x). And my three steps task, I'd like to go with flying, going through something solid (like a wall) and summoning someone.

[Sozu]

1 dream recall My 3 step tasks: 1. Fly 2. Adv. Fly 3. Teleport

[she]

2 dreams, wbtb try -3 points total - 6.5

[DarkKiky0]

Remember the whole dream - 1 point* (not sure if I should get remembering the whole dream or the fragment. I remember the first part but only images, but I remember what was going on and the outcome. Let me know if thats the whole dream or fragment.) Become lucid - 5 points Successfully stabilize the dream - 2 points (also sketchy on this, what does it entitle because I think I did it.) Successful WILD - 3 points Interact with a Dream Character - 2 points Basic Summoning - 4 points Teleport - 7 points Refer to my dream journal for the dream titled "8/22/13 dream- big cats in my house" and let me know if my pointing is accurate. Altogether thats 24 but I'm only allowed 20 per night for tasks right so it's 21, unless you read my dream and realized I only get .5 for the remembrance. My three step task- basic summoning, push hand through solid object, flying If you want to shorten the "push hand through solid object" line you could call it "phasing". Just a thought

[LetoDK]

1 complete recall, 1 failed WBTB - 2 points. DJ logged. This is already having an effect on my motivation I choose: Basic summoning, eat something, telekinesis.

[Nfri]

1f - 0,5p 1d - 1p wbtb successful - 3p become lucid - 5p stabilization - 2p interact with a DC - 2p flying - 4p fully move through a solid object - 8p = 24,5p - because of maximum limit August 22 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

[Nfri]

I slept for 12 hours / 4 failed wbtb 4d - 4p 1f - 0,5p wbtb failed - 1p =5,5p My three step tasks are : 1. Eat something 2. Teleport 3. Advanced flying

[JoannaB]

8/22 -8/23 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views 1 fragment 0.5 point 1 whole dream "Venus Mantrap" 1 point 1 failed WBTB attempt 1 point 1 excellent HH 0 points? (Consider adding HH to a future competition?) 2.5 point for the night - total 3 points thus far

[realdealmagic]

2 Dream Fragments so far - 1 point This is gonna take me a while. Oh dear.

[Bharmo]

Yesterday: One normal dream (1 point) Today: Two fragments + WBTB attempts (0,5 + 0,5 + 1 points) Total=3 points

[Scionox]

22nd Aug 2013 Factions, Futuristic city, Powerful abilities, Experiments - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views 23rd Aug 2013 RTS dreams and stuff - Day 13 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views No lucids today apparently... but i've got 2 dreams and 3 fragments, so 3.5 points. @dreambh Congrats on DEILD still and also points for WBTB count only once per day. @DarkKiky0 I usually count dream recall as full when i generally can remember dream from start to end, even if not very detailed, and fragment when i feel like big parts of recall are missing, even if the rest is detailed. Either way, people count whether something fragment or full somewhat differently, but i'd say this one was full. Also have you done that WILD in dream when already being lucid or there's some sort of misunderstanding? If it's WILD from dream then sorry it don't counts, though doesn't looks like it affects score anyway in this case. Also PM incoming shortly. @she You forgot 5 points from getting lucid. @JoannaB It can end up giving way too much score unless limited per day like WBTB or something... though i will think about maybe adding it in some form next time, dunno.
