Congrats on the LD! It was fun reading the interactions you had with the DC's...especially:

I tell him that we're in a dream and he says, "Oh cool, is it my dream?"
"Mine actually."
"Huh."

And the names.

That's cool. TV has had a big influence on my dreams lately as well, like you and your goons. I liked how you did not let a stone wall stop you.

Another nice, long LD, great work on keeping it stable!
Congrats on the clean phase through the glass!
Awesome job with the superman flying too, that sounds fun!
You are rocking this comp.

Well done on an excellent final night of the comp!
Great length and dream control! Keep it up!

@ThreeCat - Thanks! Also, I teleported? Where? *scratches head* The Stargate didn't count because it was less "teleportation" and more "acceleration through this tunnel-ish thing to another ring ten feet away". Hmm. I'm glad I didn't have trouble flying this time. It seems like my dream control is better when I'm *not* thinking about it, like that paper and pencil thing.

@greendrive - Ooh, okay. Good to know. Though the DCs who are already in my dreams usually look like they do in real life. Hmmm...

Awesome way to end the competition. Way to go

Basic summoning: I find some people I know from a summer program and try to summon my friend and a girl appears that sort of looks like her but not really. So this probably doesn't count?

I would say this counts. You summoned them and they appeared. It is rare for people to exactly match in real life.

Everything fades into sepia there.

Would this be considered completing the ToTM? Just wondering

Antoia, congrats on what sounds like an awesome night! As for your questions:

You totally teleported.

You totally summoned that paper and pencil.

And wow, your flying abilities. So cool! I can imagine exploring such a strange, shifting landscape. Very happy for you!

Great catch with the mixed up text!
I'm always missing lucid cues in DV dreams.
Congrats on the LD, keep it up!

Even if it's a short lucid we are at tier 1 so every and each lucid counts. And I personally think that looking around in a lucid it's also important anyway.
Oh, and nice non-lucids, as well!

Hehe, thanks. I wanted to see what they tasted like, too - imagine if they tasted like chicken... Oh well, there's always next time.

Aw, I sooo wanted you to eat those petals - I wonder what they would have tasted like! Congratulations on the lucid, though, sounds like it lasted for a while.

Congrats! I think that's the first lucid in our tier? I know the feeling when one does something in a lucid without apparent reason... On the other side, why would someone want to eat this petal?

Yup, I watched the movie a few weeks ago and now I'm working my way through SG-1. I wanted to find an actual full-sized Stargate and walk through it (my personal goal for the competition) and maybe even meet SG-1 but my dream just had to give me a mini Stargate, heh. I wasn't planning on going anywhere specific, because I wanted to see what my mind came up with, but I was thinking that I could use Stargates to portal to other places on purpose if I managed to get the hang of it. SSILD is pretty good, and I'm thinking of mixing it with something else, like MILD or (like last night) WILD. Trying to get past my insomnia problem first, though :/

Congrats on the lucid!! Do you like the movie Stargate or the TV series perhaps? Were you planning to go somewhere specific or just see where it takes you? Great to hear SSILD is working for you, it has helped me a lot in the past.
