[Bharmo]

Woke up with zero recall and noticed I had no natural awakenings so could not do wbtb neither, so was going to get up and then I remembered the competition, and said to myself "Oh zero points... NO" I stayed at bed for a couple of minutes more til I got to remember several fragments, that eventually became one full dream and one fragment. Got up and quickly took notes. 19.5 + 1.5 = 21 pts

[FryingMan]

Congrats!

[Ginsan]

One of my teachers said his best fight was against hollow ichigo. Damn that's a lot of cool stuff o.0 Well, perhaps you could someday ask your teacher to bring you to hollow Ichigo and have a crazy fight against him And maybe after you beat him you can use hollowification ^^ I remember 1 fragment. I would have about 5 or 6 fragments if I had written them down.. Before: 4.5 points After/current: 5 points

[Scionox]

3 fragments, 1 pretty long dream and WBTB fail, 3.5 points. 2.5+23=23.5 points I see your math is slightly off again. I was able to induce sleep paralysis for about five seconds, but I got so excited I wasn't able to form a dream. I'm still calling that a victory! (but sadly, no points for a failed WILD. T_T) Sorry about misconceptions over the internet. You dont need SP for WILD, and it's not possible to 'induce' it. Check out this thread: http://www.dreamviews.com/wake-initi...mystified.html I have 4 fragments in total Total before: 0.5 point Current total: 4.5 points But each fragment is only 0.5

[sprada]

I'm on a rampage. 1 Dream fragment = 0.5 point It seems that my sleep schedule is messing with my recall. If I'm going to bed at 02:00 or 03:00 instead of 23:00 or 00:00 (even if I'm sleeping for 8 or 9 hous) my recall is really affected. Is this normal? I believe this is why I'm struggling even more during the weekend. Comp TOTAL: 14.5 Points

[seank12]

Night 4: 2 dreams, 4 fragments, WBTB fail: 5 + 14.5= 19.5

[Ginsan]

But each fragment is only 0.5 I'm sorry. So I have 3 points now. 3 instead of 5. Current: 3 points

[VagalTone]

3 fragments Total: 2 pts

[StephL]

Well, well, well - quite unimpressed with myself - 3 more dreams - so 8+3=11 points total. Sorry Brandon - I'll amp up on daytime activities and will this night kick my own behind out of bed for WBTB - again managed to sabotage myself with feeling soo snuggly lazy, when the alarm went off..redface.gif But for once I manage - I have a cunning plan!

[Sensei]

I'm on a rampage Lappy 486 I'm on a rampage, I got problems with my feet and my back! I'm on a rampage, I'm about to have a dope rhyme attack! 5 dreams = 5 points WBTB total = 1 point Total = 6 points Total total = 44 points @ginsan I doubt it. My teacher is a waking person. I actually switched teachers. Max ツ was my teacher, hukif is now a teacher/friend, I pretty much teach myself, but it is good to run everything I do by someone I enjoy talking to and has waaaaay more XP than me.

[Sojatofu]

Again, not very successful last night: Competition #17 Night 4 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views 1 dream = 1 point 2 fragments = 1 point Night TOTAL = 2 points Competition TOTAL = 15.5

[Nfri]

No supplements yesterday. I couldn't get back to REM properly after wbtb because of procrastination before the MILD. Today I'm gonna buy nicotin lozenge 4mg and do some experimentation. I wonder what is the time to peak plazma level? I plan to suck it under my tongue for 20 minutes during wbtb before sleep. 3f - 1,5p 2d - 2p wbtbf - 1p = 4,5p total = 104p

2 fragment-1 point 2 dreams-2 points total-3 points become lucid-5 points successfully stabilize dream-2 points interact with dc-2 points flying-4 points total-13 points dream-I was watching something on tv when I became lucid. I had no dream body at this point and everything was blurry and in slow motion. Eventually, I was able to fully stabilize the dream by focusing on my surroundings. I was now on a sort of pier on the ocean. I incorrectly thought I had already completed the teleport task so I tried to complete the advanced flying task. I asked a couple of dcs where the rocket was. Doing this, it took me only a minute to find the rocket mounted in the ocean. It was big, but not a spaceship. Probably 20 feet high or so. I got on to it and found lots of controls. I found a lever of some sort, pulled it, and off it went! I felt some nice G forces and flied a bit faster than I normally would but it didn't go to outer space as I was expecting. I ran into a green glob in the sky and woke up. 13+3=16 points competition total-73.5 points

Do you set your alarm to work on your dream Recall? Do you take notes every time you wake up? Or are you actually able to recall 5 dreams in the morning?

[DoctorKwack101]

Hah! Who would've guessed? All these years of being cheated and lied to! Thanks for clearing that up, Scionox. I'll try to use the term NREM, but might slip up and call it SP every now and then. If I do, slap me on the wrist. NiGHT 4: My alarm sucks and didn't wake me up again. I need to try something new. On the bright side, I remembered a whole dream. Hilariously enough, I think I went on this forum and told people about it in the dream. I got dangerously close to lucidity, too, as I was talking about dreams and recognizing dream signs. My DCs convinced me it wasn't a dream, though (and I remember thinking it "felt too real" to be a dream) so my DILD chance slipped away. At least my recall is improving. 1 full dream + 1 fragment: 1.5pt TOTAL: 6pts

[fogelbise]

Night 4 me: "let's LD" ; brain/body: "let's not" 2 dreams, 2 fragments, wbtb attempt: 4pts Highlight: cool amusement park in some dictatorship country I have never been to IWL. Dictator was showing off that his country could have things as nice as in the West. Competition total: 53.5pts

Brandon.. Do you set your alarm to work on your dream Recall? Do you take notes every time you wake up? Or are you actually able to recall 5 dreams in the morning? A while ago he said he does 5 or 6 tiny WBTBs every night and quickly takes note of his dreams and goes back to bed. I also think it's the best tool for recall. He wakes up without an alarm clock. This is written by BrandonBoss Spoiler for Waking up without an alarm clock: Waking yourself up without an alarm. All of these take a consistent sleep schedule. Without it, you are wasting your time and intent. There are a lot of studies about intent and willpower, and intent and will power have a limited supply. It is kind of like a muscle, if you overwork it, it will stop working, so when dealing with it, it is best to make sure that you are using it right so that you don’t mess it up and do it wrong! Water, expectation, and rhythm If you can’t do this, it will take longer to LD. I would recommend practicing this for a while, if you want a quick way to do it, drink some water before bed (don’t do it if you are young or old and this can be a problem). Depending on how much you drink you will wake at different times of the night. Try different amounts of water and when you find some good times to wake up (for recall, awareness, and vividness). Then try to take away the water for the last one or two wakings and wake up without it. When you get better and better you don’t even need intent. With just intent You can also try the water thing with this, but it would be better without. The first thing to do is get a set schedule. sleeping the same time each night and waking the same time. Try to wake up 5 minutes before your alarm each day. Automatically, you will find yourself waking right before the alarm (it is something programmed into your brain). It should be somewhere near 5 minutes at first, because the thing that makes you wake up before the alarm couples with intent. Then, keep thinking that you will wake up at that time, but also think that you will wake up about 3 or 4 hours before that. Think of the time (prolly like 3 or 4) and know that you will wake up then. Because of the first part you should have some expectation working on your side, and it will make this part a breeze. Then add times until you get to 4-6 wakenings a night, any more than that can mess with you, unless you use the last REM snooze troll, but that isn’t something I do, so ask other people about it. I copied it from this thread: http://www.dreamviews.com/attaining-...ramblings.html And if you keep a dream journal or want to, you may want to take a look at this one http://www.dreamviews.com/dream-sign...m-journal.html

Brandon.. Do you set your alarm to work on your dream Recall? Do you take notes every time you wake up? Or are you actually able to recall 5 dreams in the morning? Haha! Thanks ginsan. people do read my stuff. @sprada I have posted a lot of stuff concerning dream recall and how to grow it in those hreads. That being said, I only woke up twice last night because I am not quite aware enough to wake up without an alarm and the second time I had to pee and couldn't get up without waking the baby. So I tried to just go back to sleep and had like a million random half dream fragments without falling to sleep (almost WILDs, start drifting into dream and lose it over and over. ) So i remembered like 3 dreams one awakening and 2 dreams the next. That is with a lot of practice though. The last dream was almost lucid. :/ reasoning something inside my head and thought about dreams, but the cop and the DA being there made me not think to check since I had to protect my thieving dad (weird dream for me, my dad is normally the king of class in my dreams).

[AnotherDreamer]

No dreams these last couple days, well I did have some but I forgot them pretty quickly after waking up. Stress induced dry spell. Maybe it will get better later this week

[Sensei]

No dreams these last couple days, well I did have some but I forgot them pretty quickly after waking up. Stress induced dry spell. Maybe it will get better later this week It had better get better. I am going to be doing my combo breaker everyday till this competition ends, and if I beat you because you have too much stress in your life I will not be satisfied. I missed becoming lucid this morning and yesterday afternoon by this (imagine a small amount) much and that means that as long as I don't screw up I should be getting on a run of good, vivid, and very aware lucids because that is how my dreams have been. I screw up a lot but I am very focused. I will need you to be doing good in order to keep my motivation so I can catch up. Same goes to all in upper league.
