Last night three dreams - 3 points - new total: 153 Darts-Theft - Sailing On A Lake - Venedioid City - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views How is it by the way - if I would edit my DJ later - writing it more nicely/add something/whatever - will the above link lead to the updated version, or would I have to exchange the link in here? Cheers all!

Last night wbtb attempt and one long dream 2 pts Total : 87.5 + 2 = 89.5 (30) But still happy for yesterday

[Bharmo]

Total : 67.5 + 2 = 69.5 (99.5) I think that should be TOTAL: 89,5 (30) Right?

[Zoth]

Must say I've been slacking in the last couple of days (excited about this and this ) night 1: 2 dreams 2 fragments = 3 points night 2: 2 dreams, no fragments = 2 points total points: 30 points.

Must say I've been slacking in the last couple of days (excited about this and this ) Hmm, i think i will consider these two courses, i have also enrolled in genetics and evolution, don´t know if i can manage a second course. Today results: -3 dream fragments ( my young brother slept with me, but that´s not an excuse ) Total: 90+1,5

[Scionox]

<DV DJ placeholder> <DV DJ placeholder> 6 fragments, 2 dreams, WBTB fail. 6 points. Never had such a successful night in a competition, I may have miscounted something I think that should be TOTAL: 99,5 (30) Right? Congrats! And yeah, it seems, it's 2 + 20 + 10 = 32 + 30 from TST, not 42 + 30 Also no need to count in parentheses unless you really want to ofcourse, i'm only including them to make team score counting simpler. How is it by the way - if I would edit my DJ later - writing it more nicely/add something/whatever - will the above link lead to the updated version, or would I have to exchange the link in here? Unless you post new version as separate entry the link will always lead to updated version.

Night#15 Barely any sleep again. Just one fragment recalled (0.5 points) Night#16 Planes on the water and the six-eyed, purring monkeys - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views 2 whole dreams recalled (2 points) Became lucid (5 points) Flying (4 points) Night total = 11 points Another mostly wasted, unnecessarily short LD x.x but at least it was something. I'm also glad the competition is extended, as for some reason the past week (and some of the one before) just about every attempt to become lucid has failed. Not sure if this is coincidence, the holidays and relatives staying over or me just needing to focus harder and try new things. Probably a little of all three But thankfully none of the three should be permanent. Competition total = 73 points

[Pickman]

Last night: 3 fragments: 1.5 points 1 whole dream: 1 point WBTB fail: 1 point Total: 3.5 points

3 fragments-1.5 points 2 dreams-2 points become lucid-5 points flying-4 points stabilization-2 points dc interaction-2 points total-16.5 points lucid-I caught a FA as I was in another bedroom in a fancy mansion and I heard some voices talking. I flew out the window and looked around. I saw a river flowing through the city so I picked a good spot and dove in. As expected I saw several dolphins swimming around. I almost lost the dream for a second but I was able to relax and focus to keep the dream going. I communicated telepathically with a dolphin, asking it how I could transform into one. It rolled on it's back and squirmed about, telling me to do the same. I tried it but didn't really get anywhere. I woke up. Transforming is so hard for me!

[JoannaB]

1 fragment - comp total: 14.5 Something about my wallet being in an unusual place.

[AnotherDreamer]

3 fragments 1 lucid - 5 elemental manipulation - 8 invincibility - 4 Competition Total: 18.5 + 527 = 545.5 Battling an Evil Corporation with Johnny Depp - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

[Bharmo]

Congrats! And yeah, it seems, it's 2 + 20 + 10 = 32 + 30 from TST, not 42 + 30 Also no need to count in parentheses unless you really want to ofcourse, i'm only including them to make team score counting simpler. 2 + 20 + 10 = 42 Obviously I was too excited Thanks Scionox, posts corrected.

[Sensei]

another 3 dreams and WBTB fail again. My work opened up a Yu Yu Hakusho type fight club after it opened since it flooded and re opened. Nap time again.

[FryingMan]

00:00 Saturday 2013-12-28 comp #16 night #16 LD #15 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Another lucid, yay. I had a huge point-fest all planned, but woke up right when I tried to summon my teammate after I stabilized. 6 dreams - 6 4 fragments - 2 WBTB success - 3 got lucid - 5 stabilized - 2 night total: 18 competition total: 134.5 + 18 = 152.5

[AstralMango]

Night 15 (I think): 2 dreams. Night 16: 1 dream and 1 fragment. Total score: 23.5. 28/29.12.13 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

[Sensei]

The DJ entries that I didn't put before: Some ok LDs - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

[imJB]

2 dreams - 2 2 fragments - 1 Comp total - 40 Not lucid #2 but last night dreams had LD references which is a good sign. I'm feeling confident my slow and steady approach will reap benefits - perhaps just not during this comp. No dramas....

[Zoth]

Few hours of sleep, almost fell out of bed because of the wrong alarm tone, woke up so confused that I thought I was 2 hours late for work (thankfully it was not the case), so no points today. Competition almost ending, these 2 weeks went by so fast

[FryingMan]

00:00 Sunday 2013-12-29 comp #16 night #17 LD #16 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Super short lucid again, but this time something new: I went back into the dream! Non-lucidly unfortunately. My first dream exit & re-enter! The key is remaining in the sleep mindset. I also did not move and did not open my eyes (sleep mask helped). This was possible because I was lucid at the end of the dream and entered waking gradually and was aware of the process. 6 dreams - 6 5 fragments - 2.5 WBTB success - 3 got lucid - 5 night total: 16.5 competition total: 152.5 + 16.5 = 169

Hi, folks ! Congrats FryingMan ! Today : 1 dream fragment ( absolute DJ lazziness ) Total: 92 Notes: my young brother had 3 FILDs ( dude ! ), and i just told him yesterday about it. He remembered to try and took a couple minutes

[Scionox]

<DV DJ placeholder> <DV DJ placeholder> 8 fragments, 2 dreams, 1 WBTB Success, 2 lucid, 1 stabilize, 2 move thru object, 1 flight, 1 partial transform. 44 points. Spoiler for lucids: #1 I am playing some game, but then it glitches up and PC starts making weird sounds. I try to end process but instead some weird menus popup, then some pokemon game launches. I feel that i've already had similar dream before and realize that its a dream. I stabilize it and go to balcony door, i phase through and see trees with blue leaves and a dragon in a distance, then dream suddenly fades. #2 Playing Starbound with SilentEternity and he messages me that something starting on the planet. Suddenly huge meteors start raining and exploding on ground contact, i avoid them by going underground where game suddenly goes 3D. Then after a bit of chat i go AFK and at home realize that its dream. I go for balcony and phase thru balcony door. I fly with my wings and look around. I notice big weird bubble floating in the air, but as i get closer it just goes out of view. Also there are some formations of white light in the sky. Then i see huge wall and decide to land on top of it, beyond it theres a river and some random people, and also its apparently sunset now. Dream fades.

2 fragments (+1) = total: 15.5 Yay my dream recall doubled from 1 fragment the night before to two fragments this night.

Hi, folks ! Congrats FryingMan ! Today : 1 dream fragment ( absolute DJ lazziness ) Total: 92 Notes: my young brother had 3 FILDs ( dude ! ), and i just told him yesterday about it. He remembered to try and took a couple minutes I think this is great! Being on sites like DV can be a double-edged sword: with all the help and tutorials and advice there are negative mental viruses as well "It's hard....I have problems doing it.... I wake up too soon from dreams...etc.". One of the best pieces of advice to give someone once they know enough to try LDing is: stop reading about it! I'm not one of the people who can do that though I like participating in the community, but there are risks in reading all of the "problem" threads. I know a young person who taught himself to WILD (classical WILD) basically all by himself. After about 4-6 weeks of getting up at 5am and imagining he was in a swing in a park, counting up and down, he was successful, and had somewhere in the area of 100 WILDs with perfect control and vividness.
