Competition Thread #16

[fogelbise]

Night 12 2 dreams, 2 fragments, 1 attempted wbtb - 4pts competition total - 175pts I was a little excited to LD last night by reviewing the challenge tasks and other tasks to get points. It will work next time! I think it will also help to do a little day journaling to shore up my recall. Idea came from >> http://www.dreamviews.com/dream-sign...reams-try.html

[Shalink]

1 fragment last night, the dream was about being a cashier.

[TheModernNinja]

[FryingMan]

00:00 Wednesday 2013-12-25 comp #16 night #13 ALMOST lucid - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Almost lucid....so close, "hey, if I were dreaming, I would do this...wow, look at how vivid my 'imagination' is!" ARGH! Great dreaming night considering the stress of the evening, I fully expected a whopping zero for last night. And if I had kissed the blonde on the lips instead of the cheek I probably would have gotten another kiss-ILD. But she was "just a friend" so no go . 4 dreams - 4 4 fragments - 2 1 WBTB attempt - 1 night total: 7 competition total: 115 + 7 = 122

[FryingMan]

A more active night than usual: 2 whole dreams: 2 points 2 fragments: 1 point 1 Lucid: 5 points 1 Successful WBTB: 3 points Total: 11 points. Great! Congrats! Go team Aries! p.s. plz post the dj entry for the lucid...

[Scionox]

<DJ entry placeholder> <DJ entry placeholder> Even tho its not celebrated in my country, Merry Christmas everyone! 7 fragments, 1 WBTB fail, 1 lucid, 1 stabilize, 1 Move thru solid object. 19.5 points. Spoiler for lucid: I wake up and get up from bed, i feel the dream and stabilize it. Then i go to balcony door and phase thru, but after phasing curtain gets in the way and destabilizes dream too much. 1 WBTB failure - 1 1 WBTB success - 3 Congrats on awesome night , also WBTB counts only once per night. A more active night than usual: Please post DJ entry for lucid, also you haven't posted DJ entry for three step task as well. Dryspell. Ugh. No dreams for the last few days. Awwr. Keep the positive mood and i am sure dryspell will end.

[Pickman]

Great!p.s. plz post the dj entry for the lucid... I didn't make a dj entry. There was nothing much to write about to be honest. I was in a hospital and I became lucid while walking through a corridor. That's it. It was a short-lived lucid dream, probably the most boring one I ever had, but it still counts right? Last night, not so good: 3 dream fragments: 1.5 points.

[VagalTone]

Today - 4 fragments: 2 pts - 1 dream ( DILD) +interact DC : 1+5+2 pts Total: 57,5* + 10: 67,5 pts *last post incorrection: 55,5

Yep it counts but the rules state lucids must be posted. Your description here will suffice. Hey, lucid is lucid! Short lucids can seem disappointing on the one hand, but it means that you are able to capitalize on rising awareness, for instance. I take them as a positive sign that the brain is incorporating your daily practice. To try to extend LDs as much as possible: try to rehearse stabilisation while awake, plan a short stabilization ritual, preferably one that increases awareness of your dream body (works for me: patting myself down quickly with my hands: chest, stomach, legs: I also count to 5 twice, once for pat down, once for looking around and reviewing goals: "competition, teammate is [name], task of the month, year"

I get up and see a bearded man. I try to walk outside but see the same bearded man again. He tells me he's an executive chef. My boss's boss shows up and we greet each other. I wake up. lucid-I see a gorilla in my room and become lucid. I decide to taunt and play around with it a bit, just to show it who's boss. lucid-I stay still and after a couple of seconds hear my ears ringing again. I get up and try summoning a wizard but couldn't. I decided to just go outside and fly around a fancy neighborhood. lucid-I become lucid after flying around a playground. After focusing on a tree to stabilize, I fly around and explore another fancy neighborhood and then a large city.

[Bharmo]

Only one dream (where again got into one parkour-style scene and didn't notice it was a dream) 24,5 + 1 = 25,5 pts

[StaySharp]

Well, the past days weren't fancy, and I barely got much points or dream, though at least the detail of the dreams I had was pretty good. So far: 63 Points 6 Dreams: 6 Points 2 Fragments: 1 Point 2 WBTB Attempts: 2 Points Total Competition: 72 Points

[JoannaB]

No points. I remember that I was in the middle of a dream, when the alarm on my phone went off, and I realized that the phone is charging on the other side of the room. By the time I turned it off, no recall, and hey it's Christmas Day and I did not need an alarm to wake me up before the kids did!

[vasiona]

Not much luck/success in the past four nights. My still horribly messed up sleeping schedule/lack of sleep probably aren't helping. Dreamviews and this competition thread did come up in one of my non-lucid dreams (the point being some discussion about dragons and "being hot-headed") but I still missed all the signs that it was a dream Points: 5 whole dreams recalled (5 points) 1 failed WBTB (1 point) Total = 6 points Competition total = 58.5 points

[pnb1]
