I'm having trouble with my scoring for Night #9, I'd love the help of fellow advanced leaguers if they see this.
I had 4 dreams that I would class as "semi-lucid". In each, there was some acknowledgement that I was dreaming, but it didn't necessarily feel like completely conscious acknowledgment, more of a background "knowing". My goal memory was very low and I mostly just went along with the dream plot. I'll give a summary of each dream to explain what I mean - I'm wondering whether or not you would count dreams like these as lucid yourself, to help me decide how to score them fairly.
Spoiler for Dream summaries:
Dream 1: I was thinking about different outcomes of dream induction, and acknowledged that I was already in a dream, although my awareness didn't really shift. I tried to decide how my dream control would be scored; I settled on skills from the TV show Rick & Morty being worth points, like teleporting. I was switching between 4 different dimensions and exploring them.
Dream 2: After a short WBTB, I suddenly found myself in a large hall full of alien creatures. I went around excitedly telling them "This is a WILD!" but again, I felt like I was doing it kind of unconsciously, not fully taking in the message myself.
Dream 3: I wanted my dream to teach me "how to get my bodies in sync with each other". I knew my WL body was sleeping, and I felt like it would improve my health and wellbeing if I could synchronise the energy in my waking body with my current dream body. No moment of realising "this is a dream", just a background awareness that I was sleeping.
Dream 4: I recognised my dream state again, and remembered that I'd had previous dreams like that during the night - it felt like "returning to lucidity". I was in a room with my brother and other family members, so I started writing on a blackboard to teach them about lucidity.
I'll post my total frag/dream score for Night #9 once I decide whether these count as LDs or not.
EDIT: I spoke to Sensei and he says he considers dreams to be lucid even without the "a-ha" moment as long as you know you're dreaming. I'll update my score later, probably tomorrow.
I became lucid in the middle of a field, and remembered my Three-Step Task. I was looking forward to my second 2 steps, for which I planned to make a tree grow from the earth, but I had to do Mass TK first. I looked around for an object big enough to count, or 5+ smaller objects. It was a pretty empty field and I couldn't think of anything to use.
I lost lucidity very quickly, and transitioned to a non-lucid dream plot where I was trying to find the perfect tree to take a photo of.
This dream has inspired me to switch the order of my Three-Step to:
1. Elemental manipulation
2. Advanced summoning
3. Mass TK
Night 10: had some luck with DEILD this time, thats cool and i managed to summon nightfeather and it was a wonderfull relaxed and good feeling dream. its cool to summon someone you actually dont know and learn abit about her. i´m actually excited what she will tell me about this dream^^ i had this night more lucids than last night even if i tried yesterday way harder. thats cool but i dont get it 100%. actually after the last DILD it was like yay task completed but ah....need to write it down but i am soooo sleepy and want to sleep

I am in a closet in the dorm again. I am dreaming. I decide to just sleep in there. I fall asleep. It is very bright and beautiful, but i forgor what it looked like. Someone crashed into my closet and woke me. I decided to try an in dream deild and went back to sleep. This happened a lot of times and then I gave up and decided to play in the first layer. There was tons more to this dream, but this is all I remember.

My fellow Bears, I think its safe to say that I haven't been doing well in this comp unfortunately. Since school started up monday I've been busy af and havent had time to journal my dreams at all or focus on them that much for that matter. However, this weekend I will get my score up since I'll have free time.

It's all good; I have invulnerability/"good thing you can heal" by default in dreams. Got thrown through a wall by Thor's hammer the other night and shrugged it off; it's generally the same thing when I'm not lucid.

I am sure you will manage it. Now its weekend and soon the competition ends. that should boost your motivation plus you can sleep longer so more dreams and more chances getting lucid
@percy
to bad you dont write your dreams down i would love to see what your dreams are like... i dont like audiobooks but maby i will give it a try soon. the naming of the topics alone sounds interesting
