[LucasPotter]

Uneventful night for me... Just two dreams and one fragment. I'm writing on my DJ right now, I'll add the link to the entry when I'm done. So last night: 2.5 points Total: 25 EDIT: dream journal entry.

[Sensei]

Six dreams = 6 points WBTB =3 points Lucid = 5 points RC = 1 points Stabilize = 2 points Interact with DC = 2 points Total = 19 points Hmmm... Not as much as I was hoping. Going to sleep late still effects me even if I sleep 9 hours. Will post LD and day later. Edit at 800 Spoiler for midnight-now: 500awake Boats! K about t and A Something awesome. Taken to.use it in a dream. Lucid 530sleep (had issues with baby) 700 Little monster. Files. Flashing eye. Strong. Church. Burning x2 900 awake. ^^this is all my tags forwarded from my phone. Hang out with wife and baby. Eat breakfast. Watch how I met your mother 1000 Church to clean. Listen to of monsters and men mixed with Mumford and sons radio. Think about dreams and "I am dreaming" subconscious expectation still there. 1200 finishing cleaning. Helping sound out at church. 130 start digging holes and burying rocks. 300 Help my pastor with some things around the church. 330 Michelinas Everything at church I visualize during and listen to LD inspirational music. When doing sound I don't listen to music obvious reason is obvious. 430 Head to the zombie run. (During and before I think "I'm dreaming" hard to not kill the people like I normally do in dreams) 700 Eat with in laws. 800 At home. Spoiler for lucid: I am wih Koharo. He tells me that I need to bring my item to dream world. It looks like a cube. I ask him how to get there and he says the same way I have before. I slip through a crack in dimensions into a "dream" like I have before. At the cabin again. With Koharo. I look at my hands and stabilize. Very stable. I walk outside with him and then item. It is a cube with a handle in it. He starts taking me through the city. It is like New York city made out of yellow Rock (think minas tirith type rock). We find the people that can help me with the item and I forget the rest. :/

3 dreams-3 points 1 DEILD-2 points 1 become lucid-5 points 1 reality check-1 point 1 DC interaction- 2 points total-13 points I woke up and started experiencing the ringing sound in my ears that lets me know I having a DEILD. I did a nose plug to make sure. I got out of bed and took a few steps before noticing a few DCs behind my bed. A cute little boy came up to my arms. "Where are you going?" another one the adult DCs asked. He was a bit short and heavily tattooed which made me think he was a pirate. I decided to follow the 3 out the front, thinking I was going to have a pirate dream. "So, where's my ship?" I asked the man. "You mean where's MY ship," he responded. We made it outside but didn't get too far before I woke up.

[Nfri]

Going to sleep late still effects me even if I sleep 9 hours. Yes, I feel the same effect on me. I don't know why O_o, but when I go to sleep between 10 and 11 pm, the probability of lucid dreaming rises rapidly. thinking I was going to have a pirate dream cool idea I've recalled one more fragment during the day. 1f - 0,5p =0,5p total = 2,5p

[FryingMan]

By the way, this competition ROCKS! LaBerge knows what he's talking about -- strong motivation (via goals or approaching deadlines) can really boost the LDs.

[LucasPotter]

I had two nap (non-lucid) dreams after lunch. Here.

[fogelbise]

LucasPotter fantastic first night!..and FryingMan! FryingMan is a real student of LDing and progressing quickly! Great job getting #4!! It reminds me of those early feelings and excitement(still exciting). This competition seems to be inspiring lucids! Nice!! Many dreams and fragments, short lucid moments - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views -Fragment, fragment, fragment, fragment: 2pts -dream, dream, dream, dream: 4pts -successful WBTB: 3pts -WILD entry, lucid dream, kind of short (i entered the dream already seemingly floating, so doesn't count for flying dream control, correct?) : 5pts +3pts for WILD? -very short lucid false awakening : can you only count being lucid once? does super short not count? : +0 pts? ^only counting one for my profile LD count since short+super short. +17pts last night?

I read, with concern this article about the function of sleep as a probable brain-flushing procedure. Even though this doesn’t necessarily mean anything in terms of dream attempts, it is a cause of deep concern to me because, at my age, I cannot afford to take the risk It’s been hard climbing out of my warm bed every night but it’s been fascinating…and a lot of fun. With what I now know I will still occasionally try for lucidity but I’m not prepared any longer to try this on a regular basis. My apologies to you Joanna B but this has really impacted on my will to do this any longer so I suspect that there would have been dismal results from me anyway. All the best to you all and many thanks for the advice and support you have all provided Kind regards LukeSid http://www.dreamviews.com/general-lu...read-15-a.html

I understand your concerns but I think if anything, the constant memory work and increased awareness that comes from LD training/practice is a net positive. But we all need to follow our own path, so best of luck! Maybe after a break you'll make a stellar return.... LucasPotter fantastic first night!..and FryingMan! FryingMan is a real student of LDing and progressing quickly! Great job getting #4!! It reminds me of those early feelings and excitement(still exciting). This competition seems to be inspiring lucids! Nice!! Thanks for the kind words, fogelbise! But I don't consider myself half the real student of LDing that BrandonBoss is -- with BB you can see real motivation and dedication and a scientific approach. I'm excited by my progress, and feel "back in the saddle again" after the detour due to having to learn how to fall asleep again .

I had a longer LD . I'm typing it during a WBTB so I won't have to rush it while getting ready for work in the morning. Remember Dream-1 point RC-1 point Stabilize-2 points Phase through solid object-8 points Advanced Flying-10 points Interact with DC-2 points total-21 points Lucid-There were some noisy DCs outside. I got up out of bed to see what the noise was all about. I did a random nose plug and was surprised to see I was dreaming. I looked around at my surroundings while rubbing my hands and saying stabilize. All of a sudden the dream clicked and became super vivid and stable. I walked into the restroom and phased through the mirror, trying to teleport somewhere different. I ended up going to an exact duplicate of my home. I went outside to fly. I was trying to fly to a pool. I thought it would be easy but it frustratingly difficult. I flew across various neighborhoods and fields. Lots of golf courses. At one point I landed on a swampy, rundown golf course. I got up and flew around a bit more before giving up. I wanted to see if I could still fly at light speed. I did, but only for a second, make the stars elongate and fly at light speed. I met up with a male co-worker from work, a big African American. I decided to race him at flying. He beat me. He explained he was a very experienced lucid dreamer, lucid dreaming a couple hours a night. I gave him a hug. We made our way to another golf course, this one nicer. I was able to find a couple of water hazards but they would disappear when I approached them. My co-worker and a DC that had joined us wondered what I was doing. The dream faded away. Back to sleep!

[JoannaB]

All I recall was that I had a work related dream before I woke up. 1 dream fragment - 0.5 point - bringing my total up to 3 points. Btw, I hate to see you go, LukeSid. I wanted to reply to your PM, but could not since it said you do not accept PMs anymore. I wish I could reply to this brain flushing theory which I think is not actually as counter lucidity as it may appear. I will look, maybe you started another thread on it, but I won't clutter this thread with further reply.

[Sensei]

dreams = 5 points WBTB success = 3 points Lucid = 5 points RC = 1 point Stabilize = 2 points Tk = 4 points Interact with DC = 2 points Total = 22 Spoiler for My day so far: 400 K trying to make a decision for video games. Testifying at my pastor trial Listening to sermon while driving by Levi Lusko. Shoplifting from a store with my rents there. K let's me borrow some pipe tobacco. I use it like chew for some reason. :/ tastes like fake chew that you get at QT, which is the closest to chew I have ever had. . Listen to Another sermon by Levi Lusko 600 LD. In the city. 700 Shawn Spencer ^^^ from phone. 800 Church (donut. Jalepeno poppers) 330 HOME, going to my families house. Done nothing for LDing yet except the 5 minute drive there and back. Subconscious expectation seems good to go anyways. 345 My parents house watching chiefs game. Woot. (Roast beef sandwich) 620 Play volleyball at park. 810 Home. Shower. How I met your mother. Fettuccini chicken Alfredo Spoiler for LD: I am talking to a DC in a city area... It seems like where I was with Koharo yesterday. Wait! That means! I check my hands become lucid. I walk around a few cars and trucks, looking at all the dream characters. Trying to find Koharo. hmmmm... The dream starts to fade and I rub my hands together. I look through a few alleyways and in a few cars. One truck runs off a ramp and over my head. I step to the side and stop it in midair. I drop it to the ground and a DC is staring at me. Maybe I should go for another goal. Can't think of any. Guess it is explore time. I walk around the near empty streets. dream characters seem freaked out by my presence, like they weren't expecting me to be at this part of the world. I can't seem to figure out what they were actually doing before I got there though. All of them seem busy, but not with anything in particular. (20 minutes)

[Scionox]

19th Oct 2013 Fragments - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views 20th Oct 2013 Fragments and short lucid - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views 6 fragments, 1 dream, 1 WBTB success, 1 lucid, 1 stabilization, 1 flight and 1 partal transform. 22 points. @fogelbise Could count if it"s a different dream, though personally i don"t count most FAs and especially FAs from lucid as different dream due to FA chains and such. @LukeSid Awwwr... Well, good luck with whatever you do. @JoannaB Moved you to different team, i hope you don"t mind!

[dolphin]

1 WBTB-1 point 2 fragments-1 point 3 dreams-3 points 1 become lucid-5 points 1 reality check-1 point 1 interact with DC-2 points 1 element manipulation-8 points 1st of 3 step tasks-5 points 26 points Lucid-I got out of bed in a FA and went into the kitchen. I saw a male, Mexican co-worker in there. "What are you doing here?" I asked him. I did a nose plug and I'm lucid. "Oh, I dreaming. Come here, I'll show you I'm dreaming." I led him into the restroom. I couldn't find the toilet! There was a shower though. I tried turning on the shower and manipulating the water. I tried freezing it. Nothing. Then I led my co-worker outside where there's a creek. I tried creating a whirlpool like I've done before. After spinning my finger real hard, I began to get bubbles to come out of the water and eventually I created a good amount of foam. No whirlpool though. I woke up.

[covlad96]

Sorryyyyyyy I forgot to check DV the last couple of days and didn't realise the competition had started. My 3ST are: 1. Basic Summoning 2. Flying 3. Teleport Since the competition started I've had 5 dreams, and one lucid, all I done in the lucid was an RC soooo that = 11 points Short LD - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

[Zyangur]

Woo, became lucid (just for a short time) last night 1 dream: 1 point *Going in my DJ later* I was in some weird place. My entire family was there. The dream had a dark feel because it was pretty dark. Then, my sister came after me and started throwing big spiders at me, and I couldn't tell if they were fake or real. Then, it was time to go to bed in my dream, so I went up to my room. *Starting here, I'm a bit unsure. I either woke up and did a DEILD or I just did one of those weird dream WILDs where you attemp to WILD in your sleep. I'll count it as the latter since I'm not sure* I felt a transition type thing, and I told myself "just a little bit longer". Then, the room came into view, and I was in the bed I was in in my dream. I also now knew I was dreaming, so I did the nose plug RC. I jumped off the bed to go do lucid stuff, but unfortunately, I felt myself waking up and then woke up.* So: 1 Dream: 1 point Become Lucid: 5 points Successful RC: 1 point 7 points from last night, 9 total.

[StaySharp]

5 dreams and 1 WBTB attempt, making up for 7 points so far. It's time to get lucid again.

[LucasPotter]

Awesome, DragonMaster21!!! I had four dreams and a failed WBTB, so... 5 points. Total: 32. EDIT: dream journal entry for the four dreams.

[h1nchm4n]

Oh wow this is a great idea! Nice job, especially with the team system. I'll compete tonight for sure!

[fogelbise]

@FryingMan, yes indeed! BrandonBoss takes it to another level! He was helpful to me as well. Maybe I can hit him up for some more tips, at least after the contest is over. @Scionox, make sense. Thank you for running this! Boring fragments then Bed Launch Wild, too short. - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views -fragment x3 : 1.5pts -dream : 1pt -Successful WBTB,WILD,Lucid,Stabilize,flying,1st step : 3+3+5+2+4+5 (3pts WBTB doesn't count towards 20pt limit, 3 step shouldn't either otherwise when you get step 3 = 15pts and your almost at your limit, right? It is separate from the basic and advanced tasks?) 24.5pts (45.5 total)
