Thread: DV Members Dream Challenge!

@NyxCC
Hmmm... I don't remember you LDing as much as you are now. Is this actually less than usual? You seem to be getting better and better at LDing every time we cross paths. I am always glad to see someone that takes it seriously.

Also, one of the big reasons that I joined this is to see people's dreams about me (and also to actually have people read my dreams for a change ). This is a good inspiration for me and I don't know why.

I'm so glad to hear you're feeling inspired! CL & I have both had a massive motivation boost since starting this challenge.
I find it so exciting to feature in someone else's dreams, and see how I behave as someone's subconscious creation.
I know how excited CL gets when I dream of him too, and that really motivates me to incubate dreams throughout the day!
I've also enjoyed including some inside jokes in-dream for CL, and have another one up my sleeve that I hope I can pull off soon!

I took the chance to join this challenge, especially because my best months were when I was competing against you Sensei (I think July and Aug last year - 37 lds each). Now I average about 20, but 14 this month. The quality this month is down too. Hoping for a turnaround because I have a few theories and really want to test them in the least.

Still, every time I start from scratch it gives me an opportunity to see what can go wrong and how to fix it. That way we will be able to help more people as we have a wider base of challenges and things to do and not to do for more lucidity.

37 is a good number! I guess you need to compete with me more often.

Good luck with your theories. I hope that you will make a thread about your results.

Thanks for the wishes and for all the inspiration!

Will be sure to post once things fall in the right place.

You guys are out of control Keep up the good work!
On my part, I´d love too see some results again

Dthoughts!!!! Whoever answers your phone needs cooperate! Long story short, After some interrupted DEILDs I finally got to a place that I could try summoning. CL's method failed me so I went with plan B and called from my cell. A girl answered but I heard a male voice say "I am here" in the background. After giving me the runaround she put me on hold until the dream ended. It was a close one. Maybe I get half a point. JK. I'll get you tonight!

I'll post the dream in a bit.

Wow Xanous, you are so good at this. I will tell my dream secretary to put utmost urgency to your calls. Could you give a little description of the male voice when you decide to upload the dream content? I have always been interested how I would appear in other people's dreams. Nobody ever tells me about them. I'm going to try DEILD tonight and some supplements. Your dream is certainly worth half a point if you ask me.

Thanks for the help. I appreciate that.

Here's an excerpt:

I reach into my right pocket and pull out my cell phone, blindly push the touch screen say, "Dthougths." I put the phone to my ear and I am pleased to hear it ringing on the other end. After the second one a girl's voice answers, "Hello?"
I reply, "Yes, I'm trying to reach Dthoughts."
"Oh yeah..."
I hear another voice from somewhere in the background, "I'm here." I know it's Dthoughts. The voice is of a young prepubescent boy. (Sorry. I have no idea how old you are!)
The girl continues, "This is Mike right?"
I am on the right track here... I think. "Yeah... No...This is XANOUS."
I have wondered into the living room while talking on the phone. My Dad comes is from outside and starts talking about wanting to play a game with me. I put a hand up and ignore him as I walk out a second front door. I don't want any distractions.
The girl has been saying something that doesn't makes sense to me. My attention was divided when my dad came in but now I refocus. "So just let me talk him."
She girl responds more clearly, "Well you were just calling to say 'hi' right? Is there anything else you wanted?"
Is she really about to hang up? I try to make myself more clear, "I just want to speak to Dtunes. (How did I f up the name here? Dtunes is an iPhone hack) I want to say 'Hi'." I realize I sort of repeated her and chuckle internally.
Finally, she seems to get it and says, "OK. Hold on."
I wait and listen to silence on the phone. While I am on hold I take notice of the area. I step off a curb and walk pass a blue 80's model Buick parked on the street. The trees are a really bright green. I am on hold too long and have worries about waking up. Sure enough I feel like I am visually sucked into a black vortex and return to my physical body.

I found Ophelia! Though I'm unsure if this...."form" counts.

Spoiler for mah dream:

This was probably my longest WILD yet: Well over an hour and a half. Unfortunately, I can't remember half of it.

Began in a mildly decrepit house, where each room had four doors leading out from it. I immediately called out "opheliablue" and a blue light shined from one of the doors. I followed it into the next room and on the table in the center was the source of the light: a jewel fragment, with a similar appearance to the broken allspark from Transformers. I moved to pick it up, but the fragment darted away to a new room. I followed it to the next room and succeeded in picking it up. Just as I was about to put it in my pocket, it disappeared. Satisfied that I succeeded in my task, I went to do something else.

A failed attempt tonight for me. Better luck next time. I did positive reaffirmations out loud. I repeated a mantra all evening long saying, "I will 100% lucid dream and enter a dream with Xanous in it" . To no avail. No dreams remembered. I was too tired to WBTB and induce a dream at night. So.. Hopefully I am more rested out now and have better luck tonight. I want emmm pointss ! !!

Maybe this will motivate you, Dthoughts.

Suddenly, I recall the challenge. DTHOUGHTS! I look around and see multiple DCs. There's a guy at the pump and few walking to and from the store. I quickly get out of the car and this causes some instability. I focus visually and the dream settles. I begin looking around using expectation to find Dthoughts. In front of me, I see my wife and kids getting in our green Nissan. My wife has a strained expression on her face and I feel that she wants my help with something. I look away not wanting to get sucked into another scenario. Looking back at the gas pumps, I see the guy still getting gas, but a different DC digitally materializes before me. He's a young man with long hair in a ponytail. He's wearing a long sleeve, solid red shirt with brown or khaki pants possibly with some patter on them. Pajamas? I just know this has to be Dthoughts. I rush over to him looking his face over. His features shift and I can't tell what he looks like but he seem very disoriented and has trouble standing. I say, "Dthoughts? Are you OK man?" I take his arm to keep him from falling over. He seems very confused and has a distant look on his face. He doesn't answer but just nods. That's when I wake up

Jeez. You really were tired!

Nothing today, got something yesterday in an ld. It probably doesn't count but it was cool!

While I play the song in my mind to check if I know it correctly, I'm not confident that I will be able to fully produce it by singing so would rather rely on an external device. There's a TV nearby and I get the remote and begin searching channels for MTV. The first thing that appears on the screen once the TV turns on is a manga channel, the series they are showing is called Sensei and the whole channel is dedicated to it. I get a false memory that this channel only shows the Sensei series and the series are named after the main character. It makes sense to me now that Boss chose the name of the main character in this series. I continue changing channels, looking for MTV and shortly come across it, but the TV switches back to the Sensei channel. (It doesn't dawn to me at all that I am supposed to look for him even after seeing this! )

This seems interesting and I would love to join up if anyone is interested in having me as partner/opponent!
My LD frequency isn't the best at the moment with only 2 in June, but my dream recall is pretty awesome these days

I found out last night that I have bed bugs, didn't sleep at all. Spent the whole night watching TV and typing (3-7) and got 5 pages worth of materials for my next thread. sad that I ruined some chances for the next couple of nights, but I should still be able to get a lucid or so.

Awesome dream NyxCC. That is funny that it was lucid. :S I want a channel on the dream TV for myself.

Lol, yeah. I know my dream goals by heart but still went for something else. Next time I will be more aware, get your real face on the TV and make you come out of the TV Xanous style.

That sucks about the bed bugs. Hope you get some sleep soon!

Gahh I'm so sorry!!!

Is it resolved now? Where you gonna sleep?

Slept 8 hours last night. Had some interesting dreams, but it was not quite lucid. Could have been, but i had too much going on in dream. Crazy love triangle and movie.

@ophelia. Had to run all of my laundry through super hot dryers, throw away my mattress, and fume a few rooms. I have a lot of family/friends in town, so I just stayed at my parents house. Because they have more room for me, pregnant wife, and daughter.

I had a lucid with CL this morning but I'm yet to write it up (I voice recorded my notes though.)
Hopefully I'll get to that soon...
You'll like this one, Canis!

It looks like I am dry spelling, no lucids for me

But every dream I have now is more vivid and exiting since I started ADA. Also my awareness really improved and I doubt that it´ll take much longer until I have #16!

Example: I looked through my journal yesterday. In one of my first recorded dreams I saw a nice car and later in the dream I saw it again but never realized that, even when writing it down.

Last night tho I saw a parking supercar and a minute later I saw it parking right next to me. When realizing that I really wondered how that is possible be since it was just parking somewhere else. Although I didn´t tak it a step further by a RC, I am pretty happy with my improvement!

Welcome!
My housemate will be starting to use DV within the next few days, and his frequency is about the same as yours at the moment.
If you don't have a partner by then, I'm sure he'd be keen!

Well it's some progress, I thought of Sensei last night in a non-lucid, probably the first DV member dream "appearance:" I thought he should have been standing behind me to see if I was really flying through this auditorium or if I was just hallucinating.

Awesome Dreamer, thanks
Had a pretty frustrating false awakening this night where everything went wrong so I didn't manage to get to work in time.
I'm sure my unconscious is testing me, since I started that job last week

Ah, Sensei, a new addition to the family? Congrats! Do we know the gender of the future dream master?
