      Ok, so we have about 14 weeks. I think I really need to work on my discipline so here I go :

      - seriously WBTB 42 times
      - notice sleeping position upon wake 20 times
      - recognize this is a dream when having dream with sexual contents at least once ( I have those like once a month, but menthol might change this?)
      - to learn to visualize, do visualization exercises 30 times
      - have two WILDs (since I am DILD-er)


      Punishment:
      - do dumbbell exercises 5 times a week for a month
      - cook a well balanced dinner for an entire week (no take away!)
      - no masturbation for a month
      - stomach exercises for a week (4x20 legs lifts per day)
      - will spend 3 days in a roll meditating for 3 hrs per day and will not private dream journal if I fail the WILD challenge

      I can link each punishment for individually failing a challenge task, right?

      I am not sure I will be able to keep up with the 7-8 hrs a day sleep every day though, (travelling, family, etc.). Should I set a punishment for that or just be flexible about it?

      I personally would recommend trying to keep to the program as much as possible, but no punishment is put in place (unless you put one). The more days consecutive you sleep 7-8 hours the higher the chances for an LD (In my opinion). If you have a vacation, tragedy, parties, major events, or anything like that, you don't want to be some crazy person that is like "I know we are all having a great time on our vacation, but I need to go LD" This is the reason that I put 15 days as the exception, because then if you like partying on Friday or something similar you can do that, and one week you can do it twice. I don't go out drinking or really have many unmarried friends, so I don't stay out late ever. If you need more days give it to yourself. Life > LDs, but remember that LDs can enhance life if you want them to.

      Yeah, you can link a punishment if you wish or have all of them if you fail. All up to you. If you don't say anything, then I will assume they are linked, which will change how things appear later on. There are a few things that I will have on this that you guys don't know about yet that will be optional, but should enhance the Summer challenge.

      The new challenge:
      Play the violin with a tone more beautiful and a phrasing more elegant than I could ever have imagined
      And the punishment will be the original challenge for 1 month, it's so easy yet boring that it's really more a punishment than a challenge

      I can't edit my original post yet (I have to wait 1440 minutes) so I will do that later on to prevent confusion

      Actually playing the violin is the first thing I can remember that really got me into lucid dreaming (except for sex )
      OK, I edited it in my post, is that the correct punishments and tasks?

      Almost, punishment #8 should be fall asleep within 30 minutes of lying in bed for 1 month
