      I haven't posted anything about Gooseman in a while. Here is all of his stuff.
      Spoiler for Gooseman:


      It is a lot to Read, but it is definitely always worth it to read his dreams.

      Here is my update:
      SAO #3 and #4
      Spoiler for Dreams:



      Everyone READ!
      Alright, I decided to switch things up for the last part of this competition. Feel free to switch one and lower the limit on another. Make it still difficult for yourself.

      Challenges:
      104 LDs (69/104)
      Visit the same place in a LD 20 times (4/20)
      Visit DWA
      Find my sword and stab myself with it

      Punishments:
      I will take cold showers for a week
      I will sign up for a marathon
      I will get off DV for a week
      I will go off meat for a month

      Switch up
      I switched the last goal because I would need to go to a place over 100 times in order to accomplish this because of how and why I want that. I switched the first one, because I feel like I got cheated out of June because of my daughter being born, so it seems reasonable to get this amount now, especially since it is still a higher percentage than the first part of the year. 86.54% (90/104) vs 83.44% (126/151) and considering the fact that I got 46.67% (14/30) for one of the months.

      Challenges:
      104 LDs (69/90)
      Visit the same place in a LD 20 times (4/10)
      Visit DWA
      Find an awesome sword that is also awesome in waking life. (I will draw a picture and put it on here)

      Punishments:
      I will take cold showers for a week
      I will sign up for a marathon
      I will get off DV for a week
      I will go off meat for a month

      Looks to me like you're progressing well. Keep on going!

      Good, because I think I came into this summer challenge with some over-confidence; I'm glad Ms. Reality gave me a good slap in the face before it was too late. I'm going to dilute my challenges a little bit, to make them more feasible:

      Challenges:
      • Have 8 lucids [5/8]
      • Complete a ToTM [X]
      • Successfully fly for at least five seconds [ ]

      I almost halved my challenges, but to be honest, I'm still not sure I can achieve them. I don't know what I was thinking when I first set them.

      Hmm, good to know. Well, I am thinking of keeping them like this for now, although I reserve the right to make small alterations should the need arise. There are some things coming up and I won't be able to get to sleep or sleep properly on some days. I really hope to be able to recall and go for TOTY though.

      So, for the past 11 days: 4 mornings RCs, 8 visualizations, 7 WBTBs, 5 position checks, 2 allowances used

      14 days remaining

      Allowance 9/15 used

      - 42 WBTB (35/42)
      - Notice sleeping position 20 times (17/20)
      - 30 visualization exercises (20/30)
      - 20 Morning wake RCs (19/20)
      - Complete a TOTY


      likely punishments: WBTB, visualization, TOTY

      - dumbbell exercises 5 times a week for a month (WBTB)
      - stomach exercises for a week (4x20)
      - going to bed two hours earlier for a week

      The summer challenge and the summer is now over.

      On the whole, I am satisfied with what I have achieved in terms of lds during this period with the help of the challenges I have set. The last few days have been more challenging due to some rl disruptions but I still did my best to try to meet my goals until the very last night (when I even did 2 wbtbs). Unfortunately, for the past 4 days I only had a short early ld and complete a TOTY still remains on my to do list. Also fell a bit short with visualizations.

      Here's the update and final summary.

      30 Aug-12 Sept: 11 WBTBs, 6 morning RCs, 7 position checks, 7 visualizations, 1 allowance used.

      USC all challenges:

      [X] seriously WBTB 42 times (46/42)
      [X] notice sleeping position upon wake 20 times (24/20)
      [X] recognize this is a dream when having dream with sexual contents at least once (1/1)
      [X] have two WILDs - (had >2)
      [X] a total of 20 morning wake RCs - (25/20)
      [X] watch and report HI/dreamlets when falling asleep - report 10 HIs/dreamlets - (10/10)

      Allowance 10/15 used

      [ ] to learn to visualize, do visualization exercises 30 times (27/30) = 90%
      [ ] complete a TOTY

      Ok and now to the punishments:

      The two original punishments corresponding to the above two challenges were:

      - stomach exercises for a week (4x20) leg lifts per day
      - go to bed 2 hrs earlier for a week

      I am making a slight modification to make these more doable:
      - 4x20 leg lifts per day for 7 days to be completed by end of Sept
      - go to bed 1 hr earlier for 7 days & meditate 20 mins a day for 7 days to be completed by end of Sept

      (hopefully the last two will help me get more sleep and higher awareness so that I can finally complete the Toty!)

      and I will be putting those in my signature or DJ to make sure they are done.

      It has been a truly awesome challenge BB! Thanks for organizing.

      Great job guys and special applause to all who kept updating and trying to the very end of this fantastic challenge. Wish you all lots of lucid moments and ever greater achievements. Keep on dreaming!

      Very neatly organized BB! I see now, the punishment thread can also be used for encouragement, so guys don't be shy and choose something that will help you get better with lds. Even if you pick up one punishment to do, make it so that it gives you more ld power.

      All right, I will be posting the punishment updates there. Hope to see you guys too!

      Gooseman last update.

      Dreams:

      Studying:
      Friday August 9th 2013

      Only remember the studying dream, it was rather fun. I was talking to the ambient teacher and I was changing the environment of passing countries as we were flying, kept asking them what kind of environment/change was being made, but they were more scared than anything for over half of the thing.
      DS: 3 family members
      Sunday August 11th 2013

      Back to sleep.

      Going out for a walk, do a RC before opening the door and become lucid. How strange, I was about to head out in the middle of the night just like that? Go back to think of my goals, wasn’t it to DS with a family member?

      Right, so call out for someone, first one to come out is mom again… from last dream? I ask her if she remembers anything strange, she shakes her head and asks me what exactly I am doing here “Was meaning to meet someone in a dream” she laughs and tells me to go sleep then “So it wasn’t you, I presume” since I can’t remember who just summon sister.

      She seems confused as to how she just got here, I explain to her that this is a dream and maybe we could go on an adventure but she just disagrees with me and tells me that she got to return somewhere, so it wasn’t her either? This time try to think things throughout.

      Oh yeah, it’s my older brother! Alright so summon him too “Oh hey there!” tell him, he looks at me and then down at his hands WTF “Eh, I remembered this time?” “What did you remember?” he asks me “Eh forget it, this is a dream?” he looks around and at his hands again then is about to jump so I make him float, everyone gets freaked out!

      I fly too and then tell him to not be scared “Seriously you all, forgetting this is a dream” “Oh yeah Pichus, look at the sky” he says, I look up and see nothing weird but he corrects and points in front of us, nothing strange still…

      Look back at him and ask him why he thinks this is strange “There are two suns!” he says “No, such a thing is ridiculous, there is one sun but due to the refraction of light and the position we are in right now it looks like there are two, you can even see that two different lights show from the same angle, one is red and the other is blue, see?” he comments on how I am kind of boring even in dreams… ask him if he would like to fly to the sun instead, in fact make everyone else float and put a small tree below us and make it bigger “Seriously, we can go to the sun any second now” teleport there and come back, but they don’t see too much into the idea, and my brother is more busy inspecting the tree… wake myself up.

      DS: 2 people
      Wednesday August 14th 2013
      Back to sleep.

      Talking to someone in the neighborhood, do a RC and decide to ignore the person, fly a bit and then jump over to a random roof. Remember that I have to summon my brother so go ahead and do just that “There you are!” I tell him, he greets me like normal and I kind of ignore that and tell him it is a dream while jumping off to the next rooftop, tell him to jump too.

      He does so but falls down so teleport him back up and tell him to try again, when he gets there I jump again and tell him we should be going further than this “Let’s see how far we can get, alright?” he agrees and we go for a bit, can’t remember exactly what he was asking me during the time but I wasn’t answering fully and eventually woke up before even reaching the first mountain bah!

      DEILD

      Back to the same place, can’t see brother anywhere though! Oh right also need to try with Naiya, so I go ahead and teleport to the starting place. Think about it for a while because she always forgets about me, regardless of Scott actively participating or anything else.

      Think about it and remember that she clearly remembered more when I was invisible so should be doing something similar, but need to think it first, sit down and think about it.

      After a few minutes come up with an awesome idea, so just get to try it out! First place my hand on the wall and create a folding room then isolate it from the world outside as a means of protection then fly up to where I can see from and summon Naiya inside of the room, open the door and let a puppet of another person, brother again to play with her.

      Make him sit in front of her and tell her that they got to play a Chinese game while creating it, make him move his hand and tea appear, don’t know what to place there so just extract something from the taste-memory of Naiya and fill it in, she doesn’t talks much and just starts to play before asking who he is “Oh… didn’t think that far?” she gets annoyed and then gets up “But if you leave, telling Scott that you are cheating on him” she freezes and then acts all though about it “And ate pizza…” then she sits back down and glares at brother, how funny! I want to continue playing but the dream doesn’t last long enough for me to finish the game, so just talk to her about the factory from yesterday which I think makes her angry and she is all “Oh yeah, why don’t you try it!”.

      Think about her statement for a bit and then go all “Hell yeah!” before letting go of brother and then teleporting a few billion humans over there for processing and trying it myself, sadly I don’t get to the chopping part before waking up.
      DS: 1
      Thursday August 15th 2013

      Only remember one dream, in which I was trying to DS with mom and teleported her to me and then took her to go buy whatever she wanted at a random shop, without telling her it was a dream to not ruin the event, she seemed very happy so I was alright with it.
      Another SD
      Wednesday August 21st 2013
      Back to sleep.

      I’m going out, do a RC before opening the door and become lucid. Remember that I have to hurry up because I won’t be sleeping all the damn day, hurry up and fly a bit then extend my hand. Summon Naiya and wait for it to take effect.

      A few minutes later she appears with a rather short guy, he is only a bit taller than myself and her, I try to talk to Naiya but he interrupts me and then turns around, she gets teleported back? He tells me to not be a bother because they are doing something important “And if I refuse?” he just leaves… oh no I won’t be letting it go that easily.
      2 SD:
      Saturday August 24th 2013

      I was going in and out from the house, do a RC while doing that and then stop, look around and fly for a bit over to a random grassland, stop there because a door suddenly appeared and want to go take a look.

      When I get down and look at the door, it got a small symbol instead of a knob; open the thing by touching the symbol and then find myself in a pretty big, pink and yellow room *Hello there, buddy!* says a girl *Who are you…?* I ask her but then recognize her face to be that of Naiya, she looks weird?

      She just goes in and out from the corner, so I go over there and she points at one of the cubes *There it is, Marias things…* uh WTF? I start to look at the cubes while Naiya continues to be weird as hell, the thing got a lot of tags, each cube got at least one Word pasted onto it and from the top of my head there was *Nudity, Girls, Cake, Cookie, BDSM, Shorts, Eyes, Brownish* and so many more I couldn’t understand… Naiya kept playing with the cubes while I used scan, somehow got the read that this thing was something Maria was working on, some kind of astral-stuff Project… just ignored the weirdness and made a point to remember the dream, for whatever reason and to be on the safe side.
      Study:
      Thursday August 29th 2013

      Remember I was at school and made it rain, then started to study on water ecology with one of the teaches, but that’s all I can remember.
      SD1
      Sunday September 1st 2013
      Back to sleep.

      Working on the computer, do a RC and become lucid then go out of the house and try to think about my goals for today. Not so sure about what I should be doing… teleport towards Naiya and end at this weird blue place, it was mostly an industrial area but the fog was blue, I thought it was cool and maybe toxic, so continued to play there instead of actually searching for Naiya… by the time I realized how silly that was the dream was ending so figured the scenario would work.
      Short version, 7 people try of SD:

      Wednesday September 4th 2013

      Basically, I was playing in this flea market when I spotted sister and then thought about my SD goal, then thought “Why the hell do I even try one person per dream… won’t finish like that!” and so, started to summon others, all my four lab teachers, brother, mom and sister then two random guys who live close by and started to make events happen at the market, like thigns falling off place and people fighting and what not, the more the better. Also talked a lot with one of my teachers about how acuatic ecology is a very good paying job, we got in good terms before they left, also helped one of my teachers with her disease and she was pretty happy about it, even left running… that wasn’t planned.
      Planet and universe-enemy creation:

      Friday September 6th 2013
      Back to sleep.

      Was on top of this building, again can’t remember why but was already lucid… just remember that out of instinct I teleported to the guardians world and was about to try my new goal but it felt strange, as if someone was trying to break in.

      Since I couldn’t let anyone inside my little experiment, just went ahead and completely wiped out the universe and redid it at another location, had to do that around 4 times and change the structure for the barrier I had for it in order for the intruder to not get me… then recalled school and woke myself up, 20 minutes late.
      And thats all I did, so only 36 (I think?) SD attempts.
      Failed the study challenge for one week.
      Bearer fight, done.
      Planet, done.
      Universe, done.
      Computer program, done.
      Sons of dream body, fail.
      Two new powers, done.

      Punishments:

      1k toad jumps/week for a year (OMG a year)
      No games... or random sites for a whole month. DANG IT THIS ONE WAS EASY!
      Stop porn forever. (I don't care as much for this one... lol)
