00:00 Wednesday 2014-03-19 Competition #17 night #12 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views 4 dreams - 4 2 fragments - 1 WBTB attempt - 1 Exact replay of last night! Should have gotten lucid in the pool....shoulda woulda coulda! night total: 6 competition total: 6 + 130 = 136

[Scionox]

Yesterday: 4 fragments, couldnt fall asleep for WBTB and naps at all for whatever reason. 2 points. Today: 3 fragments, 2 dreams, 1 WBTB Success, 1 lucid, 1 partial transform. 15.5 points. Spoiler for lucid: I was indoors, going through some hallways. At the end there were two doors, one with exit sign and a bunch of people near, another without one. I went for the exit door but apparently there was random classroom behind it with more people and another door was the exit door after all. I went to another door and behind it there was harbor of some kind.I feel that its dream and feel my wings, but dream fades before i can take off. Dang it. I need another clarification for the rules. It says that you get points for becoming lucid even if you are lucid from the start. So I thought that that would mean every DEILD you would get an extra 5 points. You do get 5 extra points for lucid for DEILD only if its from non-lucid. Also now looking at it i really need to revise the OP for the next competition> Fly = 7 points Since when that was 7 pts. Can someone please explain how to do the pocket content exchange? Do I ask JoannaB for what's in her pocket, or give her what's in mine, or both? I imagine that I would ask her in my dream, and she would ask me in her dream, but do I have that right? You give whats in your pocket, your teammate gives what in her's. total-23 points Max is 20.

[sprada]

[Sensei]

Gotcha scionox. good luck with that revising. Got home from vacation at 230 last night. Had a meeting at work at 645, so not much sleep. 1 dream. No WBTB for obvious reasons. 1 point.

NiGHT 12: Say it with me, everyone: a failed WBTB and a fragment. The "flop chair" worked like a charm, but I slept right through my other alarms, somehow. My recall still needs improving, as well. Curse this lazy brain! Kwack special again: 1.5 pts TOTAL: 17.5 pts

Tuesday night: 2 DREAMS= 2 pts. WBTB success= 3 Lucid = 5 pts. Successful RC = 1 pt. Stabilize the dream =2 pts. Flying= 4pts. Move through a big solid object= 8 points. Night total= 25 cumulative total 58 + 25 = 83 LUCID WBTB + MILd I am sitting on the floor in the computer lab at work and a student is cursing. I call him over and discuss it with him, he is protesting my reprimand. I leave the room and go out where the students are boarding the busses. I walk along the rows of busses. I see mr.________ off to my right, he is at the bottom of some sort if slope, and I am walking along the top. We are walking in opposite directions. We nod in acknowledgement of one another. I walk back toward my computer lab. Now it has become the living room area of the apartment-dorm I lived in while in college. I somehow know my wife is in the next room. I enter that room, it is like a small closet with a spiral staircase up to the next level. She is up there and I try to talk to her up the staircase. I hear her talking. But nothing makes any sense and is totally unintelligible. I ask her to repeat many times. It is never intelligible. I give up and decide to go Take a nap on the couch. I lay down and instantly the dream changes. I am a passenger in a car on the highway. My wife is driving. I am napping. Terrapin Station is playing on the radio. It is loud. All-encompassingly loud. Every note is 3-D. It is intense. It is beautiful. "Since the end is never told, we pay the teller off in gold in hopes he will come back, but he cannot be bought or sold." I hear this line clearly. The last note before the "At a siding" part lingers for what seems like minutes. I am blown away. I wonder why my wife is listening to the Dead. I open my eyes and almost immediately I realize I am dreaming. I launch through the windshield of the car and fly over a green compact car. A Ford Fiesta maybe. I clap my hands together and start rubbing them to stabilize. I say aloud "this dream is vivid and clear, this dream is stable and long" the giant highway boarder hedge in front of me becomes amazingly, technicolor, super HD defined, so clear and sharp and defined it is almost unrealistic. I grab the top and push my way over/ through it as I pass. There is modern, pre-fab office building directly in front of me. I fly through a window pane without shattering it. I feel nothing as I pass through. I begin to sing the mantra of padmasambhava, still flying, now rubbing my hands together. I am in a long. Dimly lit corridor. It looks like it is from an old library. Marble walls and dark woodwork, high ceilings. I am looking for a door. One appears below me to the left. My mouth feels weird and starts to dissolve, disintegrating and blowing away. I decide to try spinning to re-stabilize. I spin once, mid-flight, and everything dissolves into a point of light with black edges. I wake up.

Night 12 - finally a double hit this competition! 2 dreams, 2 fragments, wbtb success: 6pts DILD: become lucid, fly, teleport: 16pts DEILD: successful deild, become lucid, fly, dc interact: 13pts Night 12: 35pts + 166.5 = 201.5pts competition total Spoiler for DJ excerpt: I am in my office moving a goldfish bowl with 2 small goldfish in it (none currently IWL) when I am clumsy and slosh the water partly out of the bowl. There is a gold colored gold fish and a darker one. The gold colored one gets splashed out of the bowl but amazingly starts to swim in the air!! I quickly realize that I am dreaming. What a cool visual! I fly and float a bit and I have to really think hard what my goals are and I ask myself several times before remembering next two goals. I decide to start with the one that I think will be easier and I do a closed eye teleport to a bridge scene. As I am looking around I feel myself fading back to bed but I feel like I can DEILD so I squeeze together the area around my eyes which usually brings on vibrations and there are light vibrations but I relax and I find myself back in a combination of my office and my bedroom and my wife is laying there. She asks me what I am doing and I notice that I am completely naked so I ask her if she wants to...I fly over to her and <edit> before fading back to bed once again and I later figure out I must have been at the end of the sleep cycle as it took a while to get back to sleep, trying to WILD. As my wife got up I found myself feeling as if I was still in that weird office/bedroom combination but I should not have corrected myself because it solidified the fact that my body was back in my actual bed and I eventually fell asleep during the WILD attempt. Based on the below quote I assume that if the first DEILD doesn't have 10 point limit, it also allows for counting "becoming lucid" in the first DEILD as well since the OP/Scoring guideline has "becoming lucid" and the point limit note lumped together in the same comment/parenthesis. And because of "(Note: You get points for 'becoming' lucid even when you are lucid from the start, like when WILDing)" But correct me if I am wrong. Found it! http://www.dreamviews.com/general-lu...ml#post2046823 (it is first in the chain, but after an LD, so it is still chain?) I posted this and Scionox corrected me and said: http://www.dreamviews.com/general-lu...ml#post2046852 @BrandonBoss Whoa that was alot, congrats! Also first DEILD in chain don't has 10 point limit, only any subsequent have it.

[Ginsan]

I just journalled yesterday's and today's dream. Yesterday and today a fragmented dream, I was lucid yesterday and had an interaction with a DC. I wish I remembered more the dream I dreamed like one hour ago, because I breathed underwater but I cannot remember if I did it because I knew I dreamed or just did it because I had to. I have a strong feeling but I can not prove it Anyway, 8 points. Total before: 59 points New total: 67 points I just launched my own tournament. It runs between the gap between the current competition and #18. I will be giving out 750 community hall points to 6 winners! Join it! It starts at march 24th!!

Shortly dream ends Some super sick dreams last night. 3 fragments 3 dreams WBTB success Performed a successful reality check Became lucid Total for night: 13.5 Congrats on lucid but please post DJ entry for lucid, you need to do so for your previous competition lucids too, otherwise points will be subtracted in the end. Based on the below quote I assume that if the first DEILD doesn't have 10 point limit, it also allows for counting "becoming lucid" in the first DEILD as well since the OP/Scoring guideline has "becoming lucid" and the point limit note lumped together in the same comment/parenthesis.

You do get 5 extra points for lucid for DEILD only if its from non-lucid. Also now looking at it i really need to revise the OP for the next competition> In one dream, though? Or me in my dream and my partner in hers? You do in your dream together with your partner's DC and she in her dream with your DC, you get points from task when done your part but only when both done your team gets bonus points.

00:00 Thursday 2014-03-20 competition #17 night #13 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Hmm low recall night for me. Exercising too intensely? Or just over-dreamed this week? Schedule has otherwise been steady. 2 dreams - 2 5 fragments - 2.5 Sleeping pretty much through to morning, just very brief journaling in the middle of the night through force of will for the comp. Not even a wbtb! night total: 4.5 competition total: 4.5 + 136 = 140.5

You do in your dream together with your partner's DC and she in her dream with your DC, you get points from task when done your part but only when both done your team gets bonus points. Would someone who has successfully completed the pocket content task please PM me, because I feel I'm clogging up the thread with my various attempts at asking this question clearly and failing miserably?
