Dang, no dreams again. I have a dry spell. Ugh, it's definitely stress of moving and all that. No WBTB either. My points still stand at 8. No worries teammate! We all have been there! Go Team Virgo!

[VagalTone]

Today results - 2 dream fragments: 1pt - 1 LD: 5 pts ( more of a WILD: i felt my dream body climbing stairs, touched them with my hands, but couldn't get my vision, or perhaps i didn't want to because sometimes i enjoy staying in the void. Anyway, i am not happy how it went) Total: 20+6

I´m on a roll with my lucids at the moment - this morning I had maybe the longest lucid ever! Hard to guess - but at the very least 10-15 min. - it felt like ages for a LD in my experience. I have as task number one object/DC change. I wanted to make it hard for myself .. now I know, that it counts with looking shortly away and expecting them to be different - but I can´t morph them by looking at them fiercely or otherwise. Has anybody got a tip how to change stuff while looking at it? Up to now, everything (small..) I tried, worked at least to some degree - and this didn´t work at all - stuff just got more clear and detailed - more beautiful even - but it did not change. Oh - and I discovered super-fast superwoman style flight! Standing on a wagon I put my right arm in the air - and at pretty steep an angle - and I shot up that angle - one heartbeat later I almost lost sight of ground-features and was really afraid - that was a bit too exciting for my taste for now. If I had done it with a less steep angle - I might have been able to deal with it better - keeping the same distance to the ground - but I was on my way to space.. Purple Patch!! My Longest LD Since Joining Here - Maybe Longest Ever! - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Summing up last night: Two dreams: 2 One fragment: 0.5 WBTB: 3 Lucid: 5 RC: 1 Stabilizing: 2 DC Interaction: 2 Advanced flying (I don´t overly like it): 10 Object/DC Change: 4 As first step of triple task: 5 Total count after subtracting 4 points because of the 20 points per dream limit: 30.5 Sum total: 72 points Thanks again for helping with counting Scionox!

[Scionox]

<DJ entry goes here> <DJ entry goes here> 9 fragments, 1 WBTB Success, 2 Lucid, Flight, Partial Transform, Teleport. 32.5 points. Spoiler for Till i catch up on DV DJ: #1: Was playing Starbound with SilentEternity, we were in small wooden house and there were alot of decorations. He also found a weapon that was apparently shooting milk and went to test it.As i exit house i suddenly find myself out of the game on balcony, i feel the dream. I take off using my wings, it's kinda windy and there are random birds flying. I continue flight until dream fades. #2: There was some game/2D scene, two Starbound players were fighting on the bridge over lava. Equipment of one of them was weaker but he somehow manages to defeat other player. He returns in stronger armor and weapons covered in fire, they start dueling with bows. Then one of them drops the bow and i suddenly wake up there's some DC and i feel that i am dreaming, then i wake up again and get up. Dream is pretty unstable and i accidentally close eyes for a bit, that reminds me of TOTM and i close them again, and count to 10. On 10 there's weird sound and i find myself teleported to a different place, which is kinda weird small room. Then i wake up again twice. (I can do it again, after DC/Object change, for it to count as the second personal choice, I hope..?) I think, I did element manipulation with letting it snow heavily, with snow on the ground - out of summer? = 8 points, if it counts Yeah, ofcourse you can do it again, also you forgot points for RC and stabilization. 2 dreams: 1 did Flying: 5 Flying is 4, and 2 dreams be 2. 1.) If i do WBTB and then fall asleep and get lucid the next dream - that is not a fail, or is it? I just failed the WILD with it.. 2.) I have as task number one object/DC change. I wanted to make it hard for myself - but thing is - I only managed this with looking away - does that count? It´s sort of basic summoning, if I don´t change it while staring at it, or do I misunderstand? 1) It counts as long as you get lucid from it. 2) I guess that counts. Hm - I just re-read about the 20 points per dream max. - that includes lucidity, RC and Stabi = 8 points. There are only 12 left to achieve - or do I see this wrongly..? Do the three-part-task extra points count for this also? That actually can´t be - because for the advanced dreamers - even step one would be 10+5... Please explain about the point-cut-off at 20 points a bit more - thank you! All tasks count except for those marked * , challenge task points and three step task points, in your case i think total is 30.5

[MyCooky]

Flying is 4, and 2 dreams be 2. Oh lol. Well points in total are the same though XD Failed WBTB:1 2 dreams: 2 total score today: 3 total score: 45 A bit of insomnia today... EDIT: I'm kinda alone in my team ...

[FryingMan]

00:00 Wednesday 2013-12-18 comp #16, night #6, LD #12, cheerleader induced lucid dream Low recall night, some insomnia, but who cares woohoo LD #12 2 fragments - 1 2 dreams - 2 WBTB success - 3 got lucid - 5 interact with DC (and how!) - 2 night total: 13 competition total: 57 00:00 Wednesday 2013-12-18 comp #16 night #6 LD #12 cheerleader induced lucid dream - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Sorry Pickman I fully intended to find/summon you and trade pocket contents, but I got sorta....distracted....

[StephL]

... Yeah, of course you can do it again, also you forgot points for RC and stabilization. Hehe - you are right - I should have written 34.5!! 1) It counts as long as you get lucid from it. 2) I guess that counts. Cool! Thank you! Another question - even if it counts - is there a trick with doing it in direct constant sight? Or is it just - you need to get the hang of it? Well - please - if anybody can help - fire your tips away! All tasks count except for those marked * , challenge task points and three step task points, in your case i think total is 30.5 Ah - now I understand it all - thank you - so I have a cut-off of 4 points - and the three-step extra-points do not go into the 20 limit. I will edit it in above!

I´m on a roll with my lucids at the moment - this morning I had maybe the longest lucid ever! Hard to guess - but at the very least 10-15 min. - it felt like ages for a LD in my experience. Can't wait for some nice long LDs like that. 4-5 minutes is my max so far. If I can just keep my hands off the cheerleaders....

[StephL]

Can't wait for some nice long LDs like that. 4-5 minutes is my max so far. If I can just keep my hands off the cheerleaders.... It is a bit weird for me too, how fast - let´s say basic instincts - come into play. I found (once) - I can cause a DEILD around this topic - if you expect, to dream on directly after pit-stop - that can work.

[FryingMan]

I can cause a DEILD around this topic - if you expect, to dream on directly after pit-stop - that can work. I'm having a little trouble parsing that....what do you mean? DEILD is something I haven't really looked into yet but I think I should soon. I sort of try after each lucid but I'm usually very excited after waking up from a LD.

[StephL]

I'm having a little trouble parsing that....what do you mean? DEILD is something I haven't really looked into yet but I think I should soon. I sort of try after each lucid but I'm usually very excited after waking up from a LD. I sent you a pm .. soz.

[AnotherDreamer]

3 dreams - 3 5 fragments - 2.5 Lucid - 5 telekinesis - 4 DC interaction - 2 Advanced Summoning - 10 DEILD - 2 Total = 22 + 5.5 = 27.5 Competition Total = 147 + 27.5 = 174.5 Journey into my unconscious and RPGs - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views That's exhausting typing up all those dreams, I think I prefer remembering only a couple

[StephL]

Super job StephL! Keep up the awesome work! thank-you.gif Maybe I get even something morphed in direct sight with Sivason´s great advice some dream soon - I hope!

[Bharmo]

Got regular sleep again, now I need to get lucidity back! 1 dream, 2 fragments, 1 wbtb attempt = 3pts Total: 10 + 3 = 13pts BTW, I just need to say I'm really impressed by some peoples' dream recall, and even though having so many people in the competition is giving me a hard time to keep up to date, this competition is being, not only motivating, but very instructive!

[AstralMango]

My recall is starting to come back slowly. Every time I get a dry spell, it's like I've never kept a DJ before. I hate it when it happens. So anyway, one dream and one fragment recorded. I had to really stay still and try to remember it, which I don't usually have to do. 19.12.13 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Night 6 total: 1.5 Competition total: 9.5
