Competition Thread #17

[Pickman]

Last night, just 2 fragments = 1 point. I don't know what is going on with my dream recall since this competition started, my body seems to be more interested in sleep than dreaming.

[JoannaB]

One boring and very small fragment (0.5). Total 12.5

[atramentis]

Remembered four fragments (2) and one dream (1). Successful WBTB (3). Became lucid (5), flew (4). Night total: 15 points. Old Total: 53 points. New total: 68 points.

NiGHT 11: A failed WBTB and a fragment. That's becoming the Kwack Special as of late, so nothing new or exciting to report. I have come to realize that actually getting out of bed for a WBTB might be one of the hardest things ever - every cell in my body is screaming at me to just go back to sleep immediately. "No... I must... get up... for the competition!" I tried that technique in which you wake up to an alarm and not move at all (CAN-WILD, I think), but I moved to turn off an alarm that turns itself off. I'm a doofus. Kwack Special = 1.5pts TOTAL: 16 pts

The alarm goes off on speaker, I zombie my way over and flop in the chair, turn on my screen to turn off the alarm and see a "Create DJ Entry" screen. Chair's too uncomfortable to fall asleep in, as well, hehe.

00:00 Tuesday 2014-03-18 competition #17 night #11, missed FA - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Low recall night, I think my "intense" day at the gym was too intense and I slept too deeply. Boy, though, did I have some deep deep drowsiness to sink into at bedtime! Better than 3 mg of melatonin. Just barely missed a lucid moment, I'm not sure I was lucid or not at the end of the procession dream, I *felt* like I was waking up, but I'm unsure so I won't count it. Then missed a FA. I've been getting those more now, didn't used to, I'll take that as a sign that I'm generally hovering closer to lucidity now! 4 dreams - 4 2 frags - 1 1 WBTB attempt - 1 night total: 6 competition total: 6 + 124 = 130 Well thus completes my best LD streak ever, thank you LD competition gods! Now to top it right away for the competition finish and get some point-fests in there, still lots of tasks remaining.

Chair's too uncomfortable to fall asleep in, as well, hehe. Setting up a chair is a great idea, because it lets me take a load off while not being able to just fall right back asleep. I'm totally going to do that.

Last night, just 2 fragments = 1 point. I don't know what is going on with my dream recall since this competition started, my body seems to be more interested in sleep than dreaming. That happens sometimes! Sometimes we just need to regroup. I went through a bit recently where I really did not feel like waking up in the middle of the night at all. Starting to get some of that desire back again now that I'm on a regular sleep schedule.

2 fragments-1 point 2 dreams-2 points total-3 points successful WILD-3 points become lucid-5 points reality check-1 point stabilize-2 points fully move through big solid object-8 points flying-4 points total-23 points dream-I'm trying to fall asleep when I hear my ears ringing. I wait until they stop and do a nose plug to make sure. The dream is unstable so I focus on my surroundings to stabilize. I go into the bathroom and climb through the mirror. I end up at this gym type place which features some corny but catchy music! I decide to spend the rest of the dream dancing and flying around to it. 3+23=26 points competition total-240 points

[Sojatofu]

Damn, I'm still a bit sick, bad recall and no lucids, last night only 1 dream... Night TOTAL = 1 point Competition TOTAL = 43 points

[Sensei]

8 dreams = 8 points WBTB success = 3 points Lucid = 5 points RC = 1 point stabilize = 2 points Interact with DC = 2 points Total = 21 points Spoiler for lucid: I am in a front yard. There are a bunch of balls shaped like 3D pacman. I grab them and start throwing them at a wall. I realize that i am dreaming RC and stabilize. I think that it should be good practice in a dream if I try to catch them without them biting me. Improve reflexes. I keep tossing against wall and my DC dad comes up and tries as well. He end up missing bad and doing a frontflip over a fence and landing on his back. I laugh and the alarm goes off.

Night 11 - Knocked out. Felt like I was in NREM all night - odd thinking dreams probably inspired by Beyond the Wormhole episode last night. I think this is only the 2nd time this competition that I didn't attempt a wbtb. 2 fragments: 1pt Competition total: 166.5pts

[PKJacker]

Had an interesting dream, 1 point A dream about big things easily destroying humans. Like one was a giant sea monster that was like a giant sting Ray. Another was supposed to be a car commercial that I was watching on TV, so it was a giant car running over people while they were in an ocean. An interesting about this one is it started with the people being in a crashed plane and a women hanging onto the plane was telling everyone that they were insignificant. And another where I was actually inside of I survived the whole time, basically I was on a beautiful island that had the waves pretty quickly rising more and more, so everyone was trying to climb trees and mountainous parts of the island to get away from it. I escaped with a women and her child and we walked into a camp that was full of traps to catch and kill people, then we enter the main home of the people there and they try to kill us.

I had a bad night - external reasons - also left out the planned multi-alarming for DEILD chances. But I have 4 fragments, and that's better than nothing. Plus - two of these were beautiful - wish I had more of their story.. 103 + 2 = 105 points total

[StephL]

I'll try the DC body rub (does it have to be done with clothes on? Ah, too distracting I suppose). ) yes, clothes on... I do it with ground, trees or DCs. Although DCs work best, but they shouldn't be attractive - this is no a ''sexual thing''. Then I do few body half spins. And the dream may begin Always having a short-term concrete goal (what's around that corner?) I think helps as well, I need to do better at it. I need to work at this goal anchoring as well. The Alice had also the final goal - slay the jabbersomething and wake up after 2 hours, could final goal prolong the lenght of the dream?

[atramentis]

Genius!!! What do you use as alarm function? Ah I'm using a mac so the program I use iiiiiiis "Mornings". When it goes off, it plays songs from a playlist in my iTunes. Pretty basic :3 Edit: I googled it and apparently there've been a zillion updates that I missed, so it's actually way fancier than I thought.

Night 11: I remember 1 dream and 2 fragments of other dreams. I swear I remembered 2 complete and very long dreams when I woke up, but while I wrote down the first one in my journal, I forgot the second one. Of the whole dream I only remember some fragments here and there, but counting multiple fragments from the same dream must be cheating, so I count them all as 1 fragment. Had a false awakening after attempting a DEILD, dreamt that I wrote in my dream journal about failing the DEILD attempt. Somewhat ironic... Night total is 2 points, competition total is 29,5 points

[DoctorKwack101]

I've got a good feeling about tonight. I've been doing reality checks all day and keeping my awareness up, and my sleep schedule is finally back in order. I'm ready for my first LD of the competition! (...but if it doesn't happen, that's okay too)
