OLD Competition Thread Results

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.

I'm very very sorry. I forgot to say I was on holiday for the past week in Italy, I thought the room had wifi but I was wrong and had no way of updating my score. I didn't take a dream journal or anything buuuuuut I remembered 3 dream fragments, I also had 1 lucid as well. In which I stabilized and done a reality check. It was near the start of the week so I'm struggling to recall it now. But I tried summoning a dragon and summoned like a toy dragon which had a wheel on it and I was driving on it. Sorry

Yay! Thanks for organizing Checkers. And congrats to the winners and those who lucid dreamed. While I did not manage to LD this time around but my dream recall was significantly improved, and I had fun.
