Thread: The 1 Week Challenge #3

Hey DJ! Haven't seen you around in a while! I shall be watching the challenge.

For some reason when LDs break a dry spell they are normally awesome lucids! I'll try and spread the word around.

IN





COUNT ME IN, I've been in an awful dry spell and i know that this will get me out of it...I look forward to the competition!! Can't wait for Monday, getting psyched. Been trying to pull of a bankai recently

haha I know Brandon! Really pumped to get back in to it! (probably not the best time with exams just around the corner xD)

Welcome redarx haha I know this will boot you out of the dry spell with some force if you get that bankai done in this challenge you MUST link it not just because you have to but that is something I'd love to read xD Good luck! Not that you need it

*Tags* Want to watch this thread and see what happens.

Good luck guys!

Awh come on Wishfulthinker, I thought you wanted to learn how to DILD

I do. That's true.

Fiiine. Count me in for DILD only. :p

Woo! ^_^

I'll watch as well, good luck everyone!

Night 1

Woke up saying "Nooo recalll, don't do this to me now!!! " Barely a fragment remembered. I think I need to go to bed earlier xD

EDIT:

Two dreams came to me after I lay still for a bit

The One Week Challenge - Night 1 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Night 1 - Absolutely nada recalled at all, which I expect being at home.

EDIT: Two fragments remembered now,

First one I woke up and walked into my bathroom, I opened the cabinet and took my morning tablets.

Second one I walked down to Lincoln train station, two guys were stood by this bit of the wall and I asked them to move so I could press a button for the bus times (replacement bus service) and a hologram appeared out of the wall, displaying the bus times, I read them, thanked the guys and walked away.

Hey I'm new here so count me in! Tonight will be my first night of the challenge. but sadly I don't have any recall of last night from lack of sleep.

Why not! I'm in. Status: noobie

Night 2 - Woke up and really had to struggle to recall, pretty awful night.

Walked through a park with my bf holding his hand, we stood still after a while and he wrapped his arms around my waist - really sunny day.

EDIT: This also happened, was quite cool so thought I'd share it.

EDIT: Would help if I posted the link....

I, too, had trouble with recall.

I was playing a Mario Party type game with my roommates. I was Yoshi and I kept getting screwed over in the mini games. I was very angry haha.

I was walking my roommate's dog around what I believed to be a school campus. We walked inside a building and I began looking for an area that had a 10 ft radius of openness so I could tie her up. I saw my sister and her boyfriend.

Welcome to DV both Masumi and Cartersauce and of course I'm glad to hear you're part of the challenge I have no doubts that you will have your lucids tonight!

I had no dream recall night one I wasn't trying as hard as I know I can be. Time to buckle up. Already got my DJ in BrendanBosses format.

Thanks, djpatch999. I've been into LDing for about 2 years and have read plenty! My problem has been consistency and dedication.

Night 3 -

Well... I woke up being able to remember a dream and a frangment... and then I moved out of my bed and now I can only remember the fragment....

Fragment - I was at school playing Catchphrase, but I was about 38. No idea about the context of anything.

Hopefully you'll be back having a lucid soon then! Maybe you should try setting an earlier sleep schedule and you could maybe attempt a different technique to the one you've been using previously? There's quite a few to choose from if you go look through http://www.dreamviews.com/attaining-lucidity/ and you might find a technique you find easier.

So close!:
I was at hockey practice and then I went to a teammate's apartment. There I saw pictures with my sister in them and I knew I was dreaming. As quick as I realized I was dreaming, the dream started to fade. I tried looking at my hands, but it had no effect. I even remember thinking "this is my dream...I can make this last as long as I want." Too bad it didn't work This happens to me all the time! I can't get past the blanket of doubt that creeps over me, shading my lucidity. Maybe I will try spinning right off the bat rather than focusing on my hands/landscape.

Most of my successes have been through recognizing a dream sign (namely, teeth falling out...oddly enough, seeing my deceased father frequently never registers). Others have been by accident or recognition of the dream itself. WBTB is effective for me. I usually wake up in the early morning a few times to use the washroom anyway. Bedtime is between 11:30pm and 12:30am and I get out of bed around 8-8:30am.

Cartersauce: What do you mean so close?! You've only gone and bagged the top point prize! Although very short you were lucid, and that counts Congratulations! The points should be transferred over to you within the next 24 hours (If they don't come through please let me know, sometimes the system's a bit buggy). You are of course more than welcome to continue with the One Week Challenge, in fact I quite encourage it. However you are now not elegible for the 2nd or 3rd prizes.

Congratulations once again and I hope you have many more lucids both within this week and of course the rest of your life

Night 3

Recall gone completely

Congrats! As DJ says, it counts as a lucid! I'm betting you'll have a fully controlled lucid by the time the challenge is up!

Congrats Cartersauce!
