Nope, you did better than that. Like DreamCafe11 said in your comments, even non-lucids count for points. So...

3 NLDs - 3 pts

To give you a little extra incentive to get to know your teammates and try to summon them.

Finally got the spreadsheet up to date. Lemme know if there's any mistakes. Also, surprise isn't coming yet, but soon (just working on it now...).

DreamCafe11, You made Dawn appear in your direct view and kissed him. That counts as dc interaction (2 points) advanced summon (10 points) and summoning of a dream guide? (5 points). Great job!

Google defines teleporting as "to transport or be transported across space and distance instantly". Since a ride down a slide is not instant, I'm not sure a slide could be used to teleport. Dream slides are awesome though, so I definitely want to keep it as an old personal goal.

Old personal goal-Use a slide to teleport
Old personal goal-Go down a slide
New personal goal-Teleport by covering myself with a cloth and removing it

I think that's being overly strict, and it degenerates into just what can constitute "instantly."

I think any purposeful change of scene whether it takes 0 seconds or a few seconds to complete (consider a fade out + fade in) should count as "TP" or the "TP" term is overly narrow.

Day 2 Results:
-2 NLD 2 points
-1 Fragment 0.5 points

Competition Total: 26.5

Day 1 29th/30th 8:00p to 8:00p

+2 WBTB
+4 Non-Lucid dreams 4
10:30p exit process (forms) / joke
12:00a (hospital) equipment review
2:30a negotiating purchase / failure to activate card
8:00a school and video tape / bus exit / convincing the young kids
[during the scene convincing the young kids one of the kids said they were 'skipping the elf year' realizing by the way they were dressed (one like an elf) and acting I didn't think so, but rather that the elf year represented a phase of life, so I summoned a house elf NON-lucidly probably Dobby and then began to Mind-control / Telekinesis (ALSO NON-lucidly) him about the isle of the bus trying to argue to the young kids (using Dobby as a prop) they weren't really skipping a phase of life, but were trying to convince themselves they were to old or to self-aware (ironic since I wasn't self-aware that I wasn't a magic wielding school bus councilor) and thought themselves above it.) +0 for the 3 powers used since I was never the least bit lucid]

+10 First DILD 8:30a Bus of trial

Spoiler for Bus Of Trial:

I was watching from the front of a bus and could see people talking some of them I could also see their reflections in mirrors. It was part bus and part court with the driver and bailiff representing the judge, and the people on one side of the partition representing the family of the person on trial. In the back of the bus were groups of people but they represented values or ideas there were various groups like the dutch Christians, the inner city people, a legalistic looking group and the militant group (actual Romans with weapons in armor). The bailiff approached the line and one of the Romans threw a mace ball at her, while making dismissive and threatening gestures. I kept a dream companion from crossing to the back of the bus. Then I went towards the repressed group the dutch Christians. I ended up in a sort of room with just the three of them. I began to dance with one of the dutch girls, then I BECAME LUCID but did not remember the contest was on, so no goals or tasks achieved lucid for about 10 seconds with the girl (long haired young brunette, I am not claiming the pants-em challenge tho in fairness to me this would be the 29th time this month (in 3 lucids) I might have qualified), I didn't do anything in particular to stabilize but I was thinking about not destabilizing, and I was taking note of the surroundings and trying to notice the quality of the dreamscape which did seem to vary from moment to moment, but I claim no points for stabilization, then I had a false awakening into a room (but it wasn't mine, but at the time I thought it was), I thought I should journal then woke for real in my real room.

Total so far +16
competition Total +16

Surprise time!

Thanks for telling me Dolphin! : D I did not notice the interaction points and I thought the summon only counts if you do the other steps after it whether in another dream the same night or the same dream at night.Sorry I'm a bit confused on what counts as points. ^^" So the tasks can be counted separate or on different days?I still needed to elemental bend and put my hand through a object but in the order I wrote it.

Questions aside the team signatures look awesome! ^w^

You still get points for the tasks themselves though. So you get all the points dolphin said for DC interaction (2), advanced summoning (10), and summoning a dream guide (5). PLUS you completed the first of the 3 steps for an extra 5. So including the extra 1 pt for DJ comments, you have a total of 35 points for the first night.

The three steps don't have to be done in the same dream, just in that order. So you'll get the bonus 10 points the next time you perform Element Manipulation, but you won't get a bonus 15 for pushing your hand through a solid object unless you've completed the Element Manipulation already. They have to be completed in order, but not necessarily in a row.

Owo Ohhh. Wow. I really miscounted than.Thanks for explaining it to me guys! > w < I appreciate your help and will keep that in mind when I'm counting my points next time.

Night 1: 0 points 2/3 points for commenting on FireFlyMan's and TwitchLucidity's entries.

I was super excited to start this off but an emergency came up and I had to stay up super late. Only 4 hours so no dreams to remember. I should do much better tonight and maybe even get some REM rebound!

Night 2:tropicalboxer:

2 Dreams: 2 Points
WBTB: 2 Points
+ 3 DJ Comments: 1 Point

Competition Total: 17 + 5 = 22 points

Second day is worse than the first for me, but the tournament have just began so there's some time to get more points.

Day Two

Recalled dream fragment: 1/2 point

Total: 41/2 points

It took a while but I finally managed to squeeze out a memory of last night's dream. 1 point.

DreamCafe11

I often see people ask what is a good dream journal to read, if yours comes out as polished as that from doing it in the middle of the night between awakenings then it would be a good one

your dream recall seems mighty good

if looking for example of points then in reference to my unspecified powers clarification question

no points for expectation of course tho clearly it is at work here, but 'used' implies intent and 'a pink shield above me' seems to perfectly fit the supposed unspecified dream power I chose that even I couldn't figure an equivalent listed one for. So maybe you can get +5 points for this power, if your lucid and you intend to do something and it happens that must be an unspecified power, if it was just expectation only it wouldn't be. Like claiming banishing the guy who just faded on his own, no intent there.

The only unspecified power I might claim in a dream might be some kind of bending.
For instance I was once lucid trying to escape a room thru a handy staircase and the dreamscape decided to bend it into a hamster wheel and cut me off from any escape, I intentionally unbent it back into a staircase (not that I was in a dream contest but) clearly this was me using unspecified un-bending power

Second Night of Competition:

Remember 8 Non-Lucid Fragments - 4 points
Remember 5 Full Non-Lucid Dreams - 5 points
WBTB (success or failure) - 2 points

First DILD of the Night - 10 points

Telekinesis - 5 points
Time Control - 10 points

Unspecified Dream Control (Make DC´s have Super Power) - 5 points
Super Strength - 5 points
Basic Summoning - 5 points
Complete first chosen task - 5 points
Meet a teammate - 7 points
Complete second chosen task - 10 points
Ask for Advice - 5 points
Have a teammate teach you something* - 10 points

--> i had 28 points in first night, one point more for 3 dj comments
€dit: nevermind i didnt saw you count DJ comments on the right side

Question: How can i make appear the Custom-made team signature in all my posts not just the new ones? Spellbee e.g. has it also in his OP etc.

If I've gotten the scoring of points correctly, last night's contribution to my team was pretty meager. Remembered a full, long non-lucid (1 point) and after peeing, a failed WBTB (2 points) for a total of 3 points. Edit: Add one point for 3 DJ comments. Last night's total now is 4 points. People need to post a link to their competition DJ - or else someone needs to teach me how to find DJ entries specific to this competition. Come Monday and back-to-work, I can't sit at the computer for 1 1/2 hours searching just to add one point.

Motorcycle ride to buy suit - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

So, the first two nights have been a slow start.
One non lucid the first night and two on the second.
So, 3 points total.

A Nocturnal Opus - Occipitalred's Dream Journal

But the week is young.

Travel and jet lag, ugh! Will work hard to get back to solid dreaming. Had a great couple of weeks right up to the comp with a great burst of lucidity. Will try to recapture that before it's done.

Night #1 [00:00 Saturday 2016-06-30] : 1 nld = 1
Night #2: 2 frags = 1

competition total through night #2: 2

Sorry, I'm a little confused about the unspecified dream power now but I think I understand what your saying. The unspecified dream powers can only work as a point if you use it against your enemy or if its used for another purpose that suceeds? What really constitutes a unspecified power? Is it just a power SpellBee hasn't mentioned?

Originally Posted by DreamCafe11

from the OP

• Unspecified Dream Control (any powers not listed here) - 5 points

it is a power that is different from any above listed

so you couldn't claim you transformed into a cat = Full Transformation
and then also claim werewolf power for subsequently transforming into a WareWolf in the same dream (because that would be a second Full Transformation in the same dream)

my clarification is should people be able to claim multiple unspecified per dream (or only one per dream)
so if I created a pink shield and claimed +5 and then performed earth bending and claimed it was another +5 in the same dream
(I think only 1 per dream should be allowed, but N per night)

(this morning I managed to become lucid tho I had a false awakening and almost forgot the lucid but I got to step 1 and 2 as well so I should have +45 or more today) [off to the hospital]
