Competition Thread #16

[fogelbise]

Night 13 Points that don't count towards maximum: Step 3, wbtb success, 6 fragments, 1 dream - 22pts dild: teleport, mass tk, fly, stabilize - 20pts max Competition total - 217pts quick excerpt: plan to post a full dream journal perhaps tomorrow but putting lucid here right now. I was driving down the street and I saw my friend M from A outside his garage. I stop to say hi and he is telling me about something he invited me to recently. I look around I notice there are a lot of people there and it is a party. I don't think much of this at first but then I see my aunt L and D and at first I think he must've met them before but wait a minute what are they doing here they are hundreds of miles away I am dreaming! Almost immediately I think of my goal, the next task for the competition, mass telekinesis and I teleport out of there thinking about a cityscape. I am fairly sure I closed my eyes Boss style. Either way I went from a day time scene in a town a good ways away from the city over to a moonlight scene and some version of a city. There were only two large skyscrapers at first and a green patch of grass in between & in front of them. It all seems a little fuzzy or cloudy so I get down on my hands and knees and feel the grass to stabilize it feels so nice and cool that I almost was tempted to lay n roll around in it but no I got back up and proceeded with my task I used to telekinesis to pick up one skyscraper and throw it into the other. Awesome!!! I fly over to another group of buildings and I see quite a few more I threw a couple of them together with telekinesis. I stop and think about my next goal, Scionox would like it and it was starting to work but then I started fading back to bed.

[AnotherDreamer]

1 fragment - .5 lucid - 5 telekinesis - 4 successful RC - 1 Competition Total: 381.5 + 10.5 = 392 Spoiler for Very short lucid: The farthest back I can remember, I was on a bus with a bunch of friends and we were going somewhere, I don't know where. I looked in the sky and saw black clouds, then funnel clouds everywhere which turned into tornadoes. I became semi-lucid from that, suspected it was a dream. We stopped, got out of the bus, and went into somebody's backyard garden. I decided to RC to see if it was real, so I made a flower come out of the ground and fly around some girl's head. Then I exclaimed, "Lucid, Easy!" and instantly woke up. I used to telekinesis to pick up one skyscraper and throw it into the other. Awesome!!! I fly over to another group of buildings and I see quite a few more I threw a couple of them together with telekinesis. That's awesome!!! I really want to do that now, using telekinesis on huge objects is something I have troubles with.

[AstralMango]

Wasn't bothered to do any induction techniques, so my recall then decided to be a jerk. Ha, ha. Got one dream and one fragment for Night 13. 26.12.13 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Night total: 1.5 Competition total: 19.5

[DreamingGhost]

So after sleeping like crap the last few days I finally get some lucids. I guess my cats not letting me sleep at night sometimes are a good thing. After leaving the room around midnight last night I ended up having 3 lucids on the couch and 2 more during a nap. I will look at the dreams and tally up the points and post them laster. Just wanted to post how happy I was LOL Happy dreaming and Merry Christmas to those celebrating today/night

[Sensei]

8 dreams (got a nap in yay!) = 8 points (*Lucid = 5 points RC = 1 point Stabilize = 2 points Eat something = 4 points Interact with DC = 2 points *)*2 Decided when I became lucid to take a break from any tasksand have a chill dream. Will post tomorrow.

[StephL]

Last before last night I have nothing - but last night a big one again. One normal dream: 2 DILD: 5 RC: 1 Stab: 2 DC-Interaction: 2 Flying: 4 Eventually basic Summoning: 4 + 10 task II So I started by imagining a necklace a bit like the one from my last lucid in a drawer. It wasn´t in though - but a chaotic assortment of socks and gloves and folding umbrellas. So I tried it with the door of the house - really convincing myself, that a certain friend of mine would stand on the other side. I hope it counts, that another guy stood behind that door?? So then I went out - left that guy standing - he wasn´t overly animated anyway - and went out. Partial transformation: 4 (eventually + 15 task III) Then I tried to transform into an arctic wolf. The only thing I managed was feeling white hair growing from my body everywhere - and that took ages - somehow I gave up - thinking - common - December almost through - do at least that snowman. Summing up last night - if everything would count would be 2 (normal dream) + 20 (two points too many, if partial transformation counts, I count 22 for that dream) + 25 extra-points I also animated a snowman - but don´t know, if that brings me anything, if transformation and/or summoning was insufficient? 47 Points max. minus whatever Don´t know how it works - but I guess new total looks like this: 145 (30) Finally Long Lucid Again - Finally Snowman Dancing - One Less Nice Dream - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

[FryingMan]

Congrats, StephL. Need a big one now myself, somehow my closest competitor always pulls off a big night right at the end! Two competitions in a row. Looks like you're ready for upper div with a 47-point dream! Hope I'm there soon, too. I hope it counts, that another guy stood behind that door?? Well, this is an interesting question. At one end of the full range of possibilities, there is asking for something specific and getting that specific thing. At the other end of the spectrum, is it a successful summon if I literally say "there is something behind me?" and I turn to see something? Just how far off from the requested item is it for a summon to be a summon? How specific must be the request? How many (and which?) attributes of the requested item and the received item must match? And so on. This could degenerate into pages of legalese and endless arguments of interpretation, so I'd tend to vote for the vague end of the spectrum as counting. You wanted something, and something was there, so that's a summon. Scionox?

[StephL]

Thanks FryingMan! When does it actually end? Yeah - it is not really clear-cut - that´s true. Starting with a "I guess it counts" from Scionox for my out of sight transformation... I should have made it easier for myself last night - and right from the beginning just summoned someone/a human - but I didn´t - I concentrated on this male friend of mine - and got another guy - at least he also was blonde. And if that doesn´t count - my order is mixed up, and the partial transformation - which should probably count as such, since I don´t really have white hair all over my body - wouldn´t bring the extra 15 points as well. That would then be 10+15+4 less as first correction Since 2 points were too many anyway - I loose two on the dream´s normal count from the summoning - but I guess, my snowman-animation would fill up the 2 remaining open points? So all together it would theoretically then be 25 less from the old total of 47 = 22 for last night. Total would then be: 120 (5) We will see, what the Dragon got to say!

[JoannaB]

1 dream = 1 point (total: 14) I know I recalled a fragment of another dream fleetingly before I got up.

[VagalTone]

Today results -2 dream fragments: 1pt ( lazziness ) Total: 68,5 pts

[vasiona]

3 whole dreams recalled (3 points) Competition total = 61.5 points

[Scionox]

<DJ entry placeholder> <DJ entry placeholder> 6 fragments, 1 dream, 1 WBTB Success, 1 lucid. 12 points. Spoiler for lucid: I am at home near table and i realize that it's dream, but it fades out almost immediately. Now tomorrow is the last day of the competition, but there was a suggestion earlier about extending the competition. So if anyone wants the extension, please post that you do, and if there be 10+ people i'll extend the competition up to 31st December. We will see, what the Dragon got to say! I'd say it counts, at least for basic one.

[JoannaB]

I'm in favor of extending. Though I keep struggling with recall, but the competition is helping me fight for it.

[Zoth]

I'm also in favor of extending, at least to give you guys some chance to catch up with me () 1 dream, 2 fragments: 2 points. Remember waking up like 4 times (not intentionally) thinking "astrocytes, voltage, conductance, ions, astrocytes, voltage, conductance" xD total: 25 points.

[VagalTone]

As long as everybody is enjoying this competition, i think so, i am in favor of extending it.

[dolphin]

I'm in favor of extending the competition 5 fragments-2.5 points 1 dream-1 point 1 become lucid-5 points 1 flying-4 points 1 phase through solid object-8 points 1 dc interaction-2 points total-22.5 points lucid-I became lucid in a mall. I experimented with flying low in order to go faster but I ended up flying out of control through the ceiling. I decided to explore a bit and went up another 12 levels. I ended up playing a game with a bunch of other dcs on a floating rink where the object was, while riding bumper cars, to push the other dcs off the rink. I was able to push about 8 off them off before getting in a stalemate with a little kid near the edge as I woke up.

[StephL]

Me too - till Sylvester would be nice - esp. if it included 31/01 - well - at least if I go sleep that night, which is not so sure - depends on the party! This comp definitively gives me a motivation-burst! Did anybody do the team-tasks yet, by the way?

[FryingMan]

+1 for extension! And as always, please clarify what "tomorrow" means! I recommend giving an explicit UTC time so there is no ambiguity.... do you mean: the night between Thursday-Friday is the last night? The night between Friday-Saturday is the last night? Etc....

[Pickman]

So, is the competition over? If it isn't, here is my score for last night: 1 whole dream: 1 point 3 fragments: 1.5 points WBTB fail: 1 point Total: 3.5 points If this competition is over, I guess the above can be ignored.

[AnotherDreamer]

[DreamingGhost]

Here are my totals for the lucids I had the other night. Scionox will you please tell me if my "Dream Partner" dream counts as meeting my teammate? I added the 5 points just in case as the 'or' total. If it does not count then just use the first point total before the 'or' Lots of lucids - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Flying Fun: Become Lucid = 5p Ad. Flying = 10p + 5 for first step task Dream Total = 20p No GIfts for Me: Become Lucid = 5p WILD = 3p RC = 1p Interact with a DC = 2p Dream Total = 11p Running: Become Lucid = 5p WILD = 3p RC = 1p Interact with a DC = 2p Dream Total = 11p Trying for Points: Become Lucid = 5p RC = 1p Interact with a DC = 2p Basic Summoning = 4p Dream Total = 12p Dream Partner: Become Lucid = 5p WILD = 3p RC = 1p Interact with a DC = 2p Meet team member? = 5p Dream Total = 11p or 16p Successful WBTB = 3p 1 dream = 1p 1 Fragment = .5p Night Total = 69.5p or 74.5p Comp Total = 99p or 104p As for last night I slept like crap again. My shoulders were hurting a lot. I think I remember a fragment, but not sure it could have been HH I am remembering.
