[JoannaB]

1 WBTB attempt with no recall (1pt) Total: 12 pts I woke up thinking about work related issues, but don't know whether I also dreamed of them or not

[VagalTone]

Today: -1 dream: ( semilucidity, i had access to a virtual world by logging in to a special account, very cool and long, 3 hours, i dont remember waking up or having a different dream, so it was pretty long ): 1 pt Total: 38,5

[JoannaB]

I just remembered a fragment! So my total is up to 12.5 The fragment had to do with Christmas anxiety: in this dream my mom asked me whether something could be thrown away, and I looked, and they were transparent Legos, and I said "no! These are part of the kids' Christmas gift. What are they doing out here anyway before Christmas. Should be hidden, and not on display."

1 WBTB attempt with no recall (1pt) Total: 12 pts I woke up thinking about work related issues, but don't know whether I also dreamed of them or not For thoughts that just won't go away (work thoughts are hard to dispel I know), I imagine a treasure box on the night table, and a visualize a stream of thoughts flowing out of my head and into that box for safe keeping, so that they'll leave me alone at that moment. p.s. transparent legos were my ABSOLUTE MOST PRIZED legos, as you could make windows, etc. out of them. They were rare and magical.

4 nights. 3 nights full of dreams and recall running from good to great to super, culminating in an LD, then a total dud night with just 1 short dream I barely recalled and no sleep. You gotta pay the piper from time to time. Just when I think I've seen the most bizarre things my SC can throw at me, SC tops itself yet again. (Jeb Bush the labradoodle, The Dog That Wouldn't Die (and my poor battery powered dog), Morgan Freeman and the she-male, crow-girl, and so on). Sorry for all the typos in the DJ, transcribing takes a very long time and I'm typing at absolutely top speed and make a lot of misnakes . Interesting how day residue works. I was thinking about Christmas when i was young, the magical feeling of coming downstairs to presents under the tree, and I had a dream where I kept wishing that the Christmas I was trying in vain to set up would be like Christmas when I was a boy, and I got very upset when I couldn't get this to work. Also note this fragment "A bunch of people becoming lucid, in a competition" !!!!! Got to stop getting so behind in transcribing, need to keep the mind on every night's dreams right away. 00:00 Thursday 2013-12-19 comp #16 night #7 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views 6 dreams - 6 3 frags - 1.5 1 WBTB attempt - 1 night total: 8.5 00:00 Friday 2013-12-20 comp #16 night #8 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views 6 dreams - 6 7 fragments - 3.5 1 WBTB attempt - 1 night total: 10.5 00:00 Saturday 2013-12-21 comp #16 night #9 LD #13 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views 6 dreams - 6 5 fragments - 2.5 WBTB success - 3 got lucid - 5 night total: 16.5 00:00 Sunday 2013-12-22 comp #16 night #10 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views 1 dream - 1 1 WBTB attempt - 1 night total: 2 group total: 37.5 competition total: 57 + 37.5 = 94.5

Another crap night. I'm blaming this on whatever bug it is I've got recently: 1 whole dream: 1 point. 2 dream fragments: 1 point. Total: 2 points.

[FryingMan]

Another crap night. I'm blaming this on whatever bug it is I've got recently: 1 whole dream: 1 point. 2 dream fragments: 1 point. Total: 2 points. That's OK, team Aries is doing well! Sick sucks for dreaming. And I *almost* met you last LD 2 nights ago ... remembered your name and everything, but the dream was too short and after I resolved to score some competition points instead of getting distracted by my usual tendencies, it ended.

.. The fragment had to do with Christmas anxiety: in this dream my mom asked me whether something could be thrown away, and I looked, and they were transparent Legos, and I said "no! These are part of the kids' Christmas gift. What are they doing out here anyway before Christmas. Should be hidden, and not on display." .. p.s. transparent legos were my ABSOLUTE MOST PRIZED legos, as you could make windows, etc. out of them. They were rare and magical. Lego!! I loved Lego - and my mother threw it all away, when I moved out - without asking - it was in the attic - no space was needed - just like that.. And yeah - transparent was rare indeed. I had these plates for Lego - and made houses with several floors and stairs between - the rooms open, without walls - and there lived my small plastic animals - what a nice memory - thanks Joanna! I mean the last one... One fragment only - 0.5 points - new total: 96 But a nice fragment: Only One Fragment Today - Research With Lucid Rats - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Some years ago there was a life-size giraffe from Lego in Berlin on Potsdamer Platz - super - and from the regular small pieces!

Spoiler for dream: I flew in ordinary dream, then remembered, that in dreams it also possible, count fingers - 7. I flew through the window, and landed in the street. I put my hands in the wall to earn points and hardly remembered about ice sculpture task. I was on a cross in my town and there was enough space for snowstorm. I began moving my fingers on the right hand slowly and all became grey and there were snowflakes and decorated snowflakes like in previous LD . In some moment i understood that i need more power. Then i began moving my left hand and left fingers. When i understood that snowstorm was strong enough, i turned around to find what sculpture to make, and found a rose bush. It was without flowers, but with leaves. I wished it and finished the snow storm. I felt fingerpain in both hands. When it became clear, i saw a ROSE BUSH MADE FROM ICE!!!!! It was about 2 meters and it was so .... Every leaf, every branch was so attractive and beautiful, that i came to it, broke off one leaf and took it in my mouth. It was cold, and melt slowly. I decided that the task was finished and awoke. Our team task will be Ask teammate to demonstrate the powers - 10 points Yesterday - 2 dreams today - 1 dream Become lucid - 5 points Do an successful Reality Check - 1 point Successfully stabilize the dream - 2 points Flying - 4 points Push your hand through an solid object - 4 points Basic Summoning - 4 points Basic Summoning - 4 points Upper League Advanced Task - 20 points today - 43 total - 170.5

[Shalink]

Well last night was successful, I got Lucid and had a FA. Here are my points: 2 dreams = 2 points Lucid = 5 points Super speed = 4 points Telekinesis = 4 points First Edit: Also a RC = 1 point Will edit this post later with the DJ but I got to do something 2nd Edit: DJ Entry http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/shal...ucid-fa-53748/ Old Total = 6 point New Total = 22 point

[Bharmo]

Well last night was successful, I got Lucid and had a FA. Congrats, Shalink!! Now I need to get lucid as well, and do my part in getting our team going up more in the scoreboard! Last night I got one dream (in which I did some "super parkour" while being chased, something like opening scene in The Matrix, but for 20 min) and WBTB attempt. So that's 19,5 + 2= 21,5 pts

[Pickman]

That's OK, team Aries is doing well! Sick sucks for dreaming. And I *almost* met you last LD 2 nights ago ... remembered your name and everything, but the dream was too short and after I resolved to score some competition points instead of getting distracted by my usual tendencies, it ended. Well, you seem to be carrying the team with your success in this. I think I'm recovering from this bug or whatever it is I've got, so hopefully I will have some more success before the month is over. I had one lucid, but I didn't think to work on anything else other than the three step task. I'll try and bear the team task in mind the next I have a lucid.

2 fragments - 1 5 Dreams - 5 1 WBTB failure - 1 1 Lucid - 5 1 true DEILD - 2 DC interaction - 2 DC changing - 4 Basic Summoning - 4 1 Stabilize - 2 Teleport - 7 Total = 20 + 7 = 27 (I am assuming that the rules were saying that the max points for a dream were only 10 during chained DEILDs, not when the first LD is induced by a dream exit) Competition Total = 253 + 27 = 280 Night of Short Lucids - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Our team task will be Ask teammate to demonstrate the powers - 10 points Are we supposed to announce our team task before it's done in order to get points for it? Can we only do one of them?

[Sensei]

3 dreams wbtb fail. 4 points Big time my bad, on my WBTB I knew I was too tired, but I didn't stay up longer. :/

[VagalTone]

Today - 2 dreams - 2 fragments Total: 41,5 Notes: I have changed a bit my lucidity practices . I decided to try again a more effortful ( in the beginning ? ) approach, in hopes of sooner or later achieving a steady natural lucidity ( that is, because of some ingrained worthwhile habit, and therefore less effortful and less lucidity oriented, or at least no so much lucidity oriented ) . Yes, a big goal, but i think it is achievable, one way or another. Wish me luck ! In sum, i am more interested in keeping my confidence and motivation, and not so much about results. It doesn´t mean i am giving up this competition, quite the opposite ! i hope i will be stronger in the future ( not for the sake of competition, but self-fulfillment )
