Yeah I'm actually liking it a lot. Woke up this morning and realized it was blocking a ton of light from the bathroom window (which is the glass-brick style so I can't easily cover that). Daniel Love suggests them in his book (Are You Dreaming?) so I thought I'd give one a try. Loving the book so far. If you haven't already read that one, I'd highly recommend it. Damn them mantas are good lookin' masks. I just have one off Amazon.

I never used sleep masks until my wife got me the manta when we started dating.
Now I'm all about them.

Man I feel like at this point my brain is just trolling me. Someday we'll get there!

What a finish to the comp. Silverlight Way is nearing...

Thank ya!

Man that's a lot of lucid time! Banjo Kazooie made me laugh : P. Awesome final night - congrats!

Thanks man! Before kissing or licking any inanimate objects in the future I'm gonna make sure I take a full bite so it counts for the points

That is one awesome lucid! Really long!! Congrats man. When I was a teen I used to have waves in so many of my dreams and lucids - they were so beautiful - good you got to enjoy some of those experiences : ). Haha licking the wall was great too. I remember Xanous talked about making out with the sidewalk years ago to stabilize - I remember trying to kiss the sidewalk one time - didn't work that well haha.

Thank ya! This one felt like about 20 minutes but hard to say for sure

Nice man! You finally got it (Well, maybe not the EFF™ but a very nice lucid! ) How long was this one time-wise?

Answered the Dream Control questions in to the main thread

Yeah good catch. If it is to be repeated over and over, it makes sense for me to be thinking about the plan in present tense. While re-reading this I realized it could be read such that I was just trying to win comp (which is a nice side-effect), but it is more than that. I'll add that while I want to do well in the comp primarily the goal is to have good lucid dreams. Points are just an easy way to quantify that.

Good plan.

Try changing the tense from future to present.

Actually... yes! I dropped quality of photo but everything suppose to be readble. For some reason spoiler tag isn't working.
Color of marks doesn't matter. And dots above (or below) marks mean quantity:
0 dots - I wrote 1 specific case
1 dots - I wrote 2 specific cases
2 dots - I wrote 3 specific cases... etc.
I use word "write" because I had much more cases but not every case is posible to write (for example I know time when I woke up but I forgot time when I went to bed) so don't mind I have small amount of marks. Most important thing is I know I have comfirmed REM around 04:45 and 07:15 Also according to this chart 15 minutes of offset isn't affecting much for REM shifting so You can treat "15' " as "0" offset

That sounds interesting. Any chance you can drop a screenshot of it so I can see?

According to your 1sr comp night you actually had the dream about One Piece. Good Job!

About date collecting
You reminded me that I created "REM Chart". This is simple XY Graph where Y axle is delay (between dream schedule and true bed time) or sleep latency (if it is much higher that my base latency). X axle is time of sleeping.
On the graph I put symbols. Each symbol have different meaning. And it help to estimate where my REM is starting, where I have deep sleep state

Gotta ride the REM rebound this upcoming night! Good luck with the pirate dreams : P

After watching 1 season of Higurashi I had few horror dreams. Very amusing

Thanks! I hit a wall on the sauna thing cause I can't bring headphones in there...I like to meditate with some relaxing sounds/beats. Maybe I will get a cheap pair and risk the heat/water damage...

Sounds interesting. Good luck!
