5 dreams = 5 points WBTB success = 3 points Lucid = 5 points RC = 1 point Stabilize = 2 points Tk = 4 points Interact with DC = 2 points Mass Telekinesis = 10 points Gain invulnerability = 4 points Lucid = 5 points RC = 1 points Stabilize = 2 points Interact with DC = 2 points Three step task = 5 points Total = 43 points Total total = 137 Spoiler for dreams: I wake up around four O'clock for a WBTB. Go to sleep about 10 minutes later. Someone throws a basketball at me. I grab it and am really confused. I think that it should make sense since I was playing basketball about an hour ago. No... That was a dream. I look at my hands (RC, stabilize) I then toss the basketball and stop it in the air. I look for more of them and start rotating them in the air in my mind (tk). I hit 6 and I can't find anymore. I see a door and I walk to it, I slam it open with my mind (most doors are locked if I jiggle the handle). I walk outside and I notice that I am in a strange place. I see two dudes walking and stop them (interact with DC). I point the gym out and say "I am getting ready to life that up with my mind!" They think that that sounds stupid. I put my hands up (like a Jedi) and lift it up (foundation and all) and throw it across the way out of my vision (mass TK). Next! Teleport! I close my eyes and realize that I don't know where I want to go. I open them back up and see a cliff. I look over the edge... I dive down and imagine my skin being tough as well as my neck being unbreakable. Bam! Hit the ground and I am a little disoriented. I look around and notice why the place looks so strange. I am on the moon! Looking back it looked like the moon the whole time. I wake up. Next. I go back to sleep and am playing basketball again. Nothing out of the ordinary. I jump up to dunk and don't make the height, but I don't fall, I lift higher and fly to the ceiling. I dunk it and then land on the ground... That was weird. That happens when I dream... Oh! I look at my hands (RC and stabilize) I see a DC and decide to see what they are doing here (interact with DC) After about 10 seconds I lost lucidity and the dream carried on. :/

Hey! Pelko! I would recommend signing up for a DVA class! DV Academy It can help keep your motivation up and give you some one on one help with anything! Just waking up and falling asleep isn't technically a WBTB, but it is actually really good. I do about 6 micro WBTBs a night and one big one after about 4 hours. The micro ones are good to increase recall and awareness and vividness of dreams. All those three are good things for LDs as well. . But nothing really beats a WBTB! Just make sure that you check different times to see what works for you the most. Keeping track of vividness and awareness of a dream can show you if there is progress even if you don't LD.

[Ginsan]

I do about 6 micro WBTBs a night Could you tell me more about those micro WBTBs? How did you figure out the times to wake and how do you wake up? You said you had a wife so an alarm clock would be pretty annoying for her And do you really do it every night? It sounds like a solid way to get very good at LDing in very quickly

[PennyRoyal]

1 Dream, 1 Fragment = 1.5 pts 52.5 Pts total

[Matte87]

2 dreams last night. Total: 2 points for me and Team Darkness! LonelyCloud: It's not as strict as that, it's only this competition that makes it so. I'd still count both of those attempts as REM rebound though. Scores Updated!

[Sensei]

Could you tell me more about those micro WBTBs? How did you figure out the times to wake and how do you wake up? You said you had a wife so an alarm clock would be pretty annoying for her And do you really do it every night? It sounds like a solid way to get very good at LDing in very quickly Yeah! I wake up without an alarm. It doesn't work very well unless I am on a good sleep schedule, which is a big reason why sleep schedule changes so much about my lucids. The more your mind is in good sleep and you are not under stress the easier it is to use mnemonics to use it. I just choose the times I will wake up when I am about to go to sleep and when I wake up I note my dream, write it down if I feel it slipping and then back to sleep (30 seconds or so) I wake up at hours 3,4,5,6 and at 6 I have a long WBTB and back to sleep at 6 1/4 hours. Then switch to waking up as often as I feel like, normally when an alarm goes off in the morning I will wake up 2 or 3 times like that and that is also a good way to get more of them because you are bouncing in and out of dream. If I have an LD I stop everything and sleep as much as possible for the rest of the night because they come in waves. It is great for DEILD, but I am not good at staying aware through a DEILD. It gives me a lot of tries for WILD though and raises the chances of DILD. Bangs on all cylinders
