@StaySharp It will go away, it definitely will. The question is only when... But tomorrow I will have a visitor stay over for a week, and then I don't need to work as much as well, so all my hopes are directed at this time.

1 dream yesterday from nap = 1 point 2 dreams last night = 2 points WBTB fail = 1 point total = 4 points I noticed that my foot was feeling better in my dream and started playing some basketball. I thought that it might be a dream for a second and then dismissed it. GRRR...

[StaySharp]

So, I had 6 dreams over the past 2 days, so I'm at 13 points now.

1 dream 1 point A bit disapointed as I set my alarm improperly for a WBTB+WILD, and it didn't go off. Better luck tonight let's see if I can up my miserable score a bit I seem to remember the entire REM again, main stories being my broke friend being conned at a trainstation and loosing out on 1.500 from his creditcard, being made redundant (again! This better not be a sign ;P), and partying at a festival (Whoop whoop! But now I'm tired from partying but need to leave and work all day :'( Hope to be back tomorrow with a succesful WILD and kick some ass at the tasks

I'm sorry, she, I'm afraid I can't let you do that... 2 dreams 1 lucid +5 lucid +2 stable + 1 RC + 2 DC + 4 summon + 4 eat + 2 fly (over limit) Now bonuses: +5 triple +10 triple +15 triple +8 Totm + 3 WBTB Total: + 63 pts. I'll get the DJ up, I promise. EDIT: I'm on my street outside my house, a common place for my LDs to start. My dad is around there somewhere, trying to suck me back into whatever story there was supposed to be, but I ignore him. I walk around the nieghborhood for a while, and everything seems normal, oddly enough, except for the fact that the streets curved upward at a slight angle and spiraled into the air. I pull a marble out of my pocket and swallow it whole. As I'm wondering how I'm going to fly now, my dad walks up to me holding a stepladder. For some reason, I grab it from him and ruin down the street and the street melts away, leaving me in a warehouse of books, with fences built at the back of it, each successively higher than the last. I jump on top of the ladder, then onto the top of the fence, then made a flying leap off of it to start flying. I land quickly, because I had other things to do. I calm myself down and try to remember the TOTMs. Only one comes to mind, hugging a DC, and I turn around and see a guy I know and gave him a huge hug, then tried to remember the other TOTMs. I could remember that you had to punch somebody, but didn't quite know who it was. I wake up soon afterwards. EDIT2: Take 15 points of of that, sorry, forgot the three step rule. My new total is 48.

I guess it counts as advanced then because she definatly appeared right in my sight. So yesterday I had 24.5 points total. Last night I had 2 fragments, 3 dreams, 1 become lucid. 9 points. Lucid-I was not lucid as I was spinning a huge decorated wall creating various effects. Eventually I got bored, stopped and looked around. I was in the family room of my grandma's house. I became lucid when I saw a statue talking about random things, something about chips. I asked "Where's the chips?" He gave me an answer that didn't make sense and I woke up. I had some weird dreams last night! I went to sleep in a funny mood as I had some strong opinions about some Dreamviews posts that I kept to myself.

2 dreams, WBTB success, successful wild, become lucid, interact with dc. 15 points Lucid-I saw some HI of my boss at work in the dishwashing station. I lied in bed for a couple minutes, wondering if I had a lucid or was just seeing HI. Next thing I know I'm back in a dream. I'm at work again in the kitchen. I go to the office to see my boss. He starts talking to me and keeps talking to me, non-stop, for 2-3 minutes. I tried to comprehend what he was saying and observed how his image changed and transformed. Apparently the dream was set in the future as he looked about 20-30 years older. He was talking about what he had done over the years. He listed all of the degrees he picked up in school, (10-12 of them) and all the different restaurants he's been transferred to, including one in Hawaii. Eventually I got bored and looked around. I saw a couple of weird, old, crippled female DCs. I hugged them and tried to figure out if they represented any co-workers from real life but they didn't respond. I decided to explore a bit and look for girls. All I saw was a group of old women which included my one of my grandmas. Not interested. I wandered around some more. I slowly began to be surrounded by cats and some other critters. I tried to get away but couldn't. I was trapped. They started to bite my leg. It really hurt! It was probably the first time I felt pain in a dream. I woke up. I figured I would try WBTB again to see how it would work. I got an LD but I also got insomnia. It took me 2.5-3 hours to get back to sleep!

[Sensei]

last 2 days: 5 dreams = 5 points 2 WBTB fails = 2 points total = 7 points Still not able to concentrate on LDing. Feel like I need to spend more time meditating and sleeping. Not a good competition for me so far, but I guess everyone has slow times. I guess if slow for me is 3 LDs in 11 days, I have made lots of progress from when I started. haha. Keep on the sunny side.

[MilkyDance]

WBTB + WILD = 6 points Induction: I wake up naturally after approx 5 hours sleep needing the toilet, and figure I might as well use the opportunity for a WBTB. I do so in bed, solving a somewhat complex work related problem to keep my mind occupied and my ratio active. After about 40 minutes I decide it's time to get back in sleep mode and calm my mind down, and start attempting visualisation. Áll I get is black static until REM kicks in, small objects start appearing in great detail. I still feel quite awake and wonder if this will even turn into a full blown dream scape, a question which gets answered after about 10 seconds. LD: All of a sudden the darkness around the objects disapears and I am now fully within a dream. I find myself at my mum's house, a place I frequently get lucid in. I'm stood in the living room and, excited to do this competitions tasks, I decide to skip stabilizing the dream. This turns out to be a huge mistake. I wonder which task to do and decide to do something that has always been difficult for me: walking through a wall. I decide to risk it and try to clear this mental block. I walk in to the wall with my eyes fully open. As I now find myself in darkness inside the wall, I can't get out on the other side. I decide to teleport out and summon a vortex. It appears and I see the living room spinning away from me, but the teleport gets interrupted and feel myself wake up. I do a reality check which confirms I'm actually awake, a shame as my last WBTB threw me into a lot of false awakenings. I try to perform a DEILD but feel simply too awake to get back to sleep, and decide to write down this experience and have an early day instead. Summary: Although the LD itself seems hugely dissapointing to me, I woke up excited, as this is proof of principle that WBTB + WILD works well for me. So if practiced right this should provide opportunity to have near daily LD's. My challenge now is to actually go to sleep on time so I have enough time for the WBTB without disrupting sleep too much. I also need to put a lot more effort in to stabilizing the dream, to stay lucid and get rid of the "black outs". For whoever might be reading this, sorry for the "clinical" (read: maybe somewhat boring description of the entire proces, I'm mainly noting it down for me as well to keep track of whats happening, and I hope it might provide some insight to other people how they might get WBTB + WILD to work for themselves.

Last night no dreams. Had 2 in the middle of the night when Lisanna woke me up, now I forgot though. But! I took a nap this afternoon. 2 LDs. kind of blurry short ones, but not too bad. Dreams = 2 points WILD = 3 points Lucid = 5 points RC = 1 point Lucid = 5 points RC = 1 point Interact with DC = 2 points Basic summoning = 4 points Total = 23 points Laying in bed thinking of a walk I had with my brother in law a while ago. Suddenly I start seeing it all around me. Transported back to that point in time is pretty crazy since this is when me and him were first talking about LDing together. I look at my hands and they are a little jumbled. I hit my stabilization watch and wake up. Should have let the dream developed more before taking control. Wake up and lay still to try and DEILD. I suddenly wake up. I am in a car around some old apartments back in Utah. I tell my wife and sisters that we are at the wrong place if we are trying to get back to our house in Kansas. My wife tells me that we live here now and have for 2 years. I know that is wrong. RC I know I am dreaming. I reach back to the seat where I see so me thing strange. I grab and it is a hand. It seems to be trapped in a rift in space. It disappears and I reach in for it and bring a person out. Then I wake up.
