Another one in my first rem segment of the night! As I'd hoped, I seem to now predominantly be getting full lucids from this technique, which is wonderful. Hope it holds up after the competition ends; but even if not, this is well exceeding my expectations, and I'm definitely going to continue using it past the 30 lucid mark.

Success rates:
Long sleep: 17/20(+8 interrupted) (10 weak, 7 full)
Post-sleep nap: 7/8 (1 weak, 6 full)
Isolated nap: 0/0 (0 weak, 0 full).

Attempt: failure

Sleep graph: Attachment 9700

I'm actually ~70% sure I did have a lucid dream during this session, however I believe it occurred in the middle of the session, and that I fell back asleep before recording it--thus I have no specific memory of it now (only vague memories that aren't clear enough to be sure of).

Success rates:
Long sleep: 17/21(+8 interrupted) (10 weak, 7 full)
Post-sleep nap: 7/8 (1 weak, 6 full)
Isolated nap: 0/0 (0 weak, 0 full)

Attempt: full lucid

Was disappointed with the night session failing, so decided to take a morning nap (yes, I take a lot of naps), and succeeded.

Success rates:
Long sleep: 17/21(+8 interrupted) (10 weak, 7 full)
Post-sleep nap: 8/9 (1 weak, 7 full)
Isolated nap: 0/0 (0 weak, 0 full)

Attempt (long-sleep, interrupted): failure

Success rates:
Long sleep: 17/21(+9 interrupted) (10 weak, 7 full)
Post-sleep nap: 8/9 (1 weak, 7 full)
Isolated nap: 0/0 (0 weak, 0 full)

Attempt (post-sleep nap): full lucid (some parts passed the "full lucid" criteria, while others didn't)

Sleep graph: Attachment 9705

I seemed to have met Sensei in this dream, though... shape-shifting as a knight/gargoyle. Also, he didn't speak, so I'm going to try this again later, targeting a human form.

Success rates:
Long sleep: 17/21(+9 interrupted) (10 weak, 7 full)
Post-sleep nap: 9/10 (1 weak, 8 full)
Isolated nap: 0/0 (0 weak, 0 full)

Attempt (post-sleep nap): not sure

Sleep graph: Attachment 9708

Not sure how to categorize this result. In the moments before awaking, I remember having a false awakening where I either wrote or thoroughly went over an online lucid dream entry. However, the moment I woke for real, I felt my memory of its contents be lost. I tried for like 20 minutes to recollect further, but all I could recover was a bit more detail on the false-awakening. (such as that there were some strange rules in the competition that I was contesting, and that someone referenced a dream journal entry to prove some point in the conversation)

I'm pretty sure (~75%) that I had some level of lucidity at some point, however as I can't actually remember any contents, I guess I'll have to categorize it as a failure. :(

Success rates:
Long sleep: 17/21(+9 interrupted) (10 weak, 7 full)
Post-sleep nap: 9/11 (1 weak, 8 full)
Isolated nap: 0/0 (0 weak, 0 full)

Attempt (long sleep, uninterrupted): weak lucid

Sleep graph: Attachment 9709

This was a pretty long lucid, but I only remember a few parts from it, and the parts I do remember weren't enough to establish it as a "full" lucid. (ie, I knew I was dreaming, but did not substantially connect with my daytime existence, like by thinking of my dream goals, the competition, etc. -- at least not enough to be actionable)

Success rates:
Long sleep: 18/22(+9 interrupted) (11 weak, 7 full)
Post-sleep nap: 9/11 (1 weak, 8 full)
Isolated nap: 0/0 (0 weak, 0 full)

[Sorry I'm late for this session and the one below, was busy with some things (in the time I was awake) today.]

Attempt (long sleep, interrupted): failed

Sleep graph: Attachment 9711

Was groggy-minded in this session, despite feeling that I'd had many dreams. Had some sections with raised awarenees (e.g. hiding from monster), but no actual lucidity.

Success rates:
Long sleep: 18/22(+10 interrupted) (11 weak, 7 full)
Post-sleep nap: 9/11 (1 weak, 8 full)
Isolated nap: 0/0 (0 weak, 0 full)

Attempt (post-sleep nap): full lucid

Sleep graph: Attachment 9712

Thought I'd been too late/too rested, but managed to fall asleep one final time and score a nice lucid, and attempt some dream goals.

Success rates:
Long sleep: 18/22(+10 interrupted) (11 weak, 7 full)
Post-sleep nap: 10/12 (1 weak, 9 full)
Isolated nap: 0/0 (0 weak, 0 full)

Attempt (post-sleep nap): full lucid (well, parts of it)

Sleep graph: Attachment 9721

My awareness fluctuated a lot in this one, but I know earlier on, and at the end, I had good awareness. Also, this one was long enough that the earlier parts are basically all forgotten--which is sad, as the storyline seemed to stretch back a good ways further.

Success rates:
Long sleep: 18/22(+10 interrupted) (11 weak, 7 full)
Post-sleep nap: 11/13 (1 weak, 10 full)
Isolated nap: 0/0 (0 weak, 0 full)

Attempt (post-sleep nap): weak lucid (I think there was an earlier full-lucid section, but due to wake-up situation, could not recollect in time before having to leave)

Sleep graph: Attachment 9722

Sorry the dream entry's so short and unsubstantiated. There was much more, including places where lucidity was actually demonstrated, but I have to leave shortly so only had time for the easiest-to-recover section right at the end. (sad since I think it was a cool one overall)

Success rates:
Long sleep: 18/22(+10 interrupted) (11 weak, 7 full)
Post-sleep nap: 12/14 (2 weak, 10 full)

Sleep graph: Attachment 9725

This one was cool because I got to talk to my subconscious, with it asking me if I wanted to summon someone back from a non-lucid dream that had just ended. Time didn't let it actually complete, but it was pretty cool nonetheless.

Success rates:
Long sleep: 18/22(+11 interrupted) (11 weak, 7 full)
Post-sleep nap: 13/15 (2 weak, 11 full)
Isolated nap: 0/0 (0 weak, 0 full)

Attempt (isolated nap): full lucid

Wasn't sure whether to consider this a post-sleep nap or an isolated nap; I was awake for ~4 hours from my last awakening, so I decided to consider it an isolated nap. I guess from now on, if I've been awake for 3 hours, I'll consider that an isolated nap.

Dream entry: 2017-01-26 17:58 -- Skating, colored line matching buzzing, false awakenings - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
Sleep graph: Attachment 9726

Was a fairly short lucid as far as normal/active dream content, but had a long period in a false awakening where I just laid still and paid close attention to various things, like a series of colored lines that matches with fluctuations in a buzzing sensation in my body. It was pretty neat actually, as a change of pace.

Success rates:
Long sleep: 18/22(+11 interrupted) (11 weak, 7 full)
Post-sleep nap: 13/15 (2 weak, 11 full)
Isolated nap: 1/1 (0 weak, 1 full)

Attempt (isolated nap): weak lucid

Sleep graph: Attachment 9727

This one was kinda disappointing, as I didn't remember to do my set of four dream goals for the comp, and really wanted to this time. But oh well... I kept the streak alive at least.

(As for why I don't have an entry for my night/long sleep: I fell asleep early in the night for ~3 hours by accident (without app started), and then wasn't able to fall asleep again before having to get up for a visit.)

Success rates:
Long sleep: 18/22(+11 interrupted) (11 weak, 7 full)
Post-sleep nap: 13/15 (2 weak, 11 full)
Isolated nap: 2/2 (1 weak, 1 full)

Sleep graph: Attachment 9735

This one was very short. I misremember one of my dream goals, which unfortunately was the one of the four I decided to attempt. (oh well)

(Entry for long/night sleep is again missing because of accidentally falling asleep this morning, briefly followed by inability to -- this time for just over 3 hours.)

Success rates:
Long sleep: 18/22(+11 interrupted) (11 weak, 7 full)
Post-sleep nap: 13/15 (2 weak, 11 full)
Isolated nap: 3/3 (1 weak, 2 full)

Attempt (long sleep, interrupted): failure

Was awoken early in my second rem segment, so naturally this "long" sleep was not a full attempt; hence goes in the (rather large) "interrupted" category, as is the custom for mornings.

Efficiency doesn't seem to decrease so far.
I'd be curious to know how the random number spellings sounds like.
Have you a recorded sample to make us ear?

I could do a few mp3s with different 4 digit even number and put it on a file in my mp3 player that would play it in a random order, just to try this technique and see if I have some results myself.

Well I don't have any atm, but since you want to try it, I'll just speed up my uploading it to Google Play. It won't have the nice UI yet, but for early testing that's fine. (I'll make the number-prompt UI later when I'm preparing to make an actual thread for the released app)

Attempt (long sleep, uninterrupted): lucid, not sure of intensity (so categorizing as weak one)

Sleep graph: Attachment 9746

I'm not sure if it was a full lucid, because I chose not to recollect my memories in detail, because it was somewhat of a lucid nightmare. Not because anything terrible happened to me, but because there was recurring negative imagery. I kept it to a minimum by shifting attention in-dream away from it, but it was still pretty disturbing.

Still though, another lucid. : )

Okay! Sorry for the delay people, but I've finally got the app up.

I made a new thread for it here: http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...ique-beta.html

Most new posts will be made there now, so follow that thread if you'd like the latest updates on it.
