Good morning, Dreamviews! :D Here I present thee a summary of my nightly adventures:
3 dreams: 3
5 fragments: 2.5
WBTB: 2
WILD: 1
Nightly total: 8.5
Comp total: 126.5
In one fragment, I distinctly remember shouting, "Fryingman! Fryingman!" Lol, I guess I was calling him out--even if non-lucidly! Other fragments were a mix of day residue and anxiety stuff. I missed some good dream signs! I also went to jail (I had to change into prison garb, and stay at the jail for "one session," which ended up being 3 hours). I then inadvertently helped a prisoner escape. He faked choking, and when my frantic Heimlich maneuver failed, I alerted the guards. They went to get help, and my prisoner laughed at me and ran off too. I got in trouble afterwards :bslap:
Congrats everyone on the lucid work!
Competition night #5, I GET LUCID! Woo! :-)

WBTB: 2 points
3 dreams: 3 points

DJ Entry: Competition night #5 guest starring car flipping take two! - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
Really pleased to have actually had a lucid for the first time since early July!
I'm a *little* bit miffed that I didn't remember the TOTMs for July first, as last night was the last night of July! :-P

I think we should get points for controlling DCs, it's a dream power and it's so cool to be able to do.
Night 5: Remembered a definite lucid this time though I didn't go for competition points. Night 4 still feels like losing a valuable item.
remembered LD, interact DC, stabilize, 1 dream, 2 fragments, wbtb, 5 DJ's: 13pts tonight + 40pts prev = 53pts total
Need to step it up and look for points! Recall not up to par lately. Did enjoy exploring the dream I found myself in though. Will post DJ link here later.
@FryingMan @ThreeCat: I also thought of FryingMan during my LD. Are you infiltrating our dreams?
Night #5
2 fragments: 1 point
1 dream: 1 point

Total- 7+ 51(previous nights)= 58 points
No lucids last night guys :( went to bed late and lost my focus. But hey still did pretty good with recall, and I will post my DJ entries for night 5 on here later! :)
Tonight, I will get all of my 3 tasks done! Tonight I will make a huge comeback! Last night to do this McCoys! :D
Wait, wtf? Tonight is the last night?
EDIT: :cackle: Ok, good OneUpBoy, you officially gave me a mini-freakout. Competition ends on Sunday, 8/10.
Night 5:
Tired, crashed for the night.
0.5 - Remember a fragment
Total: 0.5
Competition total: 29.5 pts
Looks like lots of people are getting lucid (@greendrive - that's a crazy awesome lucid you had there), so I'll make sure to pump myself up for some LDing tonight :P
Also, I'm changing my 3-step task because my brain has decided to quit whenever I try to fly:
1. Basic summoning
2. Telekinesis
3. Invulnerability
Personal goal is still finding and using a Stargate.
I'm going to catch up to you people :-P
/me wishes I could have seen you freak out 3cat.
Yes, this is a 2 week comp. :P
Sickness is killing me. 1 WBTB and 1 dream
Total 213 points
My fitbit woke me up, but I just fell sleep straight away :facepalm: so no wbtb today, just 1 dream and 2 fragments.
TOTAL: 15,5 + 2 = 17,5 pts
only WBTB 2 points last night. No recall. I hope I'm doing better than I feel like. REM rebound :wino:
66.5 + 2 = 68.5
Brutal night for me, too. Super late to bed, 1 dream, semi-nightmare apartment, but quite vivid and detailed in the senses (which is great, if you dont mind spending your dream vacuuming a dirty carpet).
1 dream + WBTB = 3
Competition total 3 + 30.5 = 33.5
Brutal night for me, too. Super late to bed, 1 dream, semi-nightmare apartment, but quite vivid and detailed in the senses (which is great, if you dont mind spending your dream vacuuming a dirty carpet).
Night #6: 1 dream + WBTB = 3
Competition total 3 + 30.5 = 33.5
Had one LD last night, and I'm pretty sure a second one later... I definitely had a false awakening where I recalled being lucid, but I'm not sure if it was a true or false memory, so I won't count it.
I'll have to post my score tomorrow because I'm about to go out. I'm not expecting much dream activity tonight because I will be drinking heavily... :fuckyeah:
Night #6
8 fragments: 4 points
3 dreams: 3 points
WBTB: 2 points
This night: 9 points
Total: 63,5 points
I got lucid!!! :)
Lucid: Fish in air, dream character, lots of flying - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
Ok, I would appreciate someone double checking my points since I do not have experience counting lucids during a competition.
1 dream fragment earlier in the night (1/2 point)
WBTB (2 points)
Lucid (5 points)
Do I also count remembered dream for the lucid?
Do I count the reality check in the first part of the lucid even though I woke up before completing it during it?
DEILD (2 points)
Transform darkness into light? Does that count for any points?
Interact with DC (2 points)
If I tried to make a DC disappear but they transformed instead does that count?
Flying (4 points)
Super speed (4 points)
Missed opportunity to recognize FA (0 points)
So by my count this night is worth 19.5, but it may be worth more if some of my questions above lead to points in response or someone finds something else I missed
19.5 for the night + 3 points before = 22.5 point total
Awesome Joanna, congrats!
Decent recall last night but no lucids..

Good afternoon, Dreamviews--the night's events:
4 frags: 2
2 dreams: 2
WBTB: 2
WILD: 1
Nightly total: 7
Competition total: 133.5
My WBTB: Sitting in the dark, DJing for about twenty minutes. My NLD was long and had a lot of scenes, and a lot of good dream signs. In particular, a song I like suddenly picked up an extra speaking interlude, where the singer began explaining how he bought the boat (it's a country song, lol). Really thought it was weird in the dream, but told myself it was probably just a special version :uhm:
My wife also got up during the night to DJ. I was really hoping for a FA but no, we were quite awake :roll: Tried again (later in the morning) and nada. I've been lazy with MILD the past couple days. Time to kick it into gear!
EDIT: Fryingman, you were in two of my fragments last night. In both we were discussing lucid dreaming. Not sure why it is so tough to realize that DV dreams are dreams. Meh.
Last night, all I got was a fragment and a failed WBTB = 2.5 points.
Competition total: 23.5 points (I think)
2 dreams and 1 fragment - 2,5
Comp total - 13 points

Night 6:
Another workday, so my journaling wasn't very thorough. I remember two dreams, but I probably would have remembered more from the two fragments if I'd taken more time to think about it. But once you're up, you're up - and the dreams are gone ...
02.08.14 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
2 dreams = 2 points.

Tonight I am determined to do a WBTB! And I want to have a lucid dream! :offtobed:
Finally got lucid in night #7!!
It was pretty short because I got woken by some kids playing fetch at 6am (I am camping for two weeks and the tent is pretty thin). "Get off my lawn ya buggers" :rolllaugh:
Anyways, I remembered another really cool dream. I also found out that my subC is some kind of rap-god, even in English! (A lot of my dreams are in English lately since me buying a kindle and the discovery of the world of free, mostly in English, eBooks) :P
I forgot everything except one line which I will include in my DJ. It was awesome tho!
I'll post the dream sometime today, it's a pain in the :buns: to post on DV with you phone!

Its hard to WILD when you have poison ivy but I did it and scored some major points for dream control! :bender: I probably wont be able to post untill Monday. I still got time for one more LD.
Edit: I got two more LD's. In the last one I found OneUpBoy71 in the shower and hit him with a pillow. :cackle: I can't wait to enter these dreams!

Good morning, Dreamviews! :yawnorama: A few (mildly) frustrating experiences!
Am fairly certain I was lucid early in the night, but don't remember anything else!
I accidentally killed my wife's elderly cat (in an NLD)!
I got booted from another LD because my mind hadn't settled yet (not sure how to say that).
Otherwise not bad, with some mildly interesting NLDs. In particular, I was fighting for House Lannister in GoT; Jaime and Cersei were both centaurs, though. Tywin yelled at me for cowering outside of the battlefield. I also tried to steal money off of someone's coffin :nono:
Will update my DJ and points later!

I know this phenomenon, happens to me with start of dream DILDs, a handful of times, you're excited to recognize the dream state but it's too early to interact with the dream, twice I was booted to the void (and couldn't get out) and several times I just woke upQuote:

Night#7:
2 frags -1
4 dreams - 4
WBTB - 2
Night total 7
Competition total 33.5 + 7 = 40.5
This is a great idea! Hm - maybe A. Andrew Gonzales (see sig), or Dmitri Mendeleev who gave us the periodic table of chemical elements:Quote:

Yes, very unfortunate! Despite hearing otherwise from very experienced LDers - I also found, that one can forget a lucid, especially when dreaming on non-lucidly. I feel really sure of having had one in that case - but otherwise - empty. As far as the term "sure" means anything here. One can hope, though, that with more experience, the risk of "losing lucids" will vanish beyond imagination! :wink:Quote:

@Fryingman: I was being so careful, too! My non-lucid body was rockin' on, walking down the sidewalk, doing non-lucid things, and my mind was saying, "Oh, we had better wait. The dream isn't ready yet." Wait, wait, wait. Wait some more. See the DC? Smile at her. Wait, wait . . . NOSE PLUG! This happened after a very intense session of MILD. I am going to try to recreate this tomorrow morning :D
@StephL: I used to think lucids could not be forgotten, until I actually forgot a few (or almost forgot them, only to dredge them back up with lots of effort). And yes, I find that I forget them when either
1. I lose lucidity and continue on non-lucidly (as you say)
2. The dream runs very long
After about 20-30 minutes, I begin to experience lacunae. Also, I recently had an experience where I was quite certain I had shared a dream with a friend. Not sure how we established this (that's the part I forgot) but I know that dream was long enough that I forgot the whole first portion (how I became lucid, what we did during the first part of the dream, etc.) So yes, for me, lucid memories are about as stable as waking life memories, though they are subject to the brain's mental pruning :damnit:
Here are my nightly and updated comp totals:
3 dreams = 3
2 frags = 1
1 LD = 5
WBTB: 2

Night #7
I didn't spend the night at home, which usually results in no dreams. I got 1 and a fragment though, so I am happy:) Even got to do a decent WBTB where I went for a pee, closed all curtains and wrote in my DJ. Also had quite some beer, so I am hoping for some REM rebound again :)
Not many points, but I'm a happy dreamer anyway:
1 Dream: 1 Point
1 Fragment: 0.5 Point
WBTB: 2 Points

I haven't had a single LD with high dream control during this comp... I thought my dream control would carry me, since my LD frequency is lower than others in my tier, but no such luck yet. Hopefully tonight! :D
Last night I got nothing. Can't remember a thing = 0 points.
Dream recall seems to drop off during the weekend, but gets better when I'm at work for some reason - probably because my sleep routine is better during the working week. During the weekend I start to let go a bit.
No recall for me tonight either. :(
Night #8 No lucids, though I seem to still have good dream recall. I get lucid once around 10 days, I feel confident to get another one before the competition ends.

Total: 1.5 pts
Competition total: 33.5 pts
Night 8:
Getting back in the game. A bunch of fragments, one good dream, and several mentions of dreams/dreaming. Think I'm getting close.
1 - Remember dream
5 x .5 - Remember fragment
Total: 3.5 pts
Competition total: 37 pts
Lucid at last :)
Finally catched a FA. Believe it's the 3rd FA in 4 or 5 days.
Pretty lame but I'm still happy.

So..

Remember one LD - 5 Points

Ahrgh - I have this typical problem again - I do get lucid, but that's more or less it then - again just that and a RC and looking about - and woke up. This frustrates me no end upon waking and would maybe even lead to me dropping all activity again, if it wasn't for the comp. It's worse than doing nothing and not getting lucid, these disappointments...
What shall I do?!
Going to journal and count out later, but this is THE PROBLEM for me...:crying:
I didn't get much sleep and didn't WBTB I did recall some

For my WBTB, I chose to meditate in the dark after DJing. Then did MILD and tried my best to WILD, lol, but couldn't manage it (as usually happens--all of my LDs in this comp have been DILDs).

Night 8 - didn't sleep too well
4 fragments, wbtb - 4pts + 122.5pts previous = 126.5pts total
Game tomorrow so I need to focus more on sleep tonight but I probably can't resist to put in a WBTB. I have some plans and day practices in place for more points for when I become lucid next!
I also seemed to notice this issue with a little of variance. The stabilization works if I become lucid earlier in the night and fails if I am closer to my normal wake up time.Quote:

In case anyone was waiting for it, I just added my DJ to my previous post.
Sensei, are you planning to put up a summary of points so far in the first post? I'd certainly be interested to see where everyone's at, and I'm too lazy to do it myself :-P
SammyTheSnake
Ok, so I'm being a bit lazy... It takes up too much time recording my dreams twice - once when I wake up (in my notebook by the bed) and once again in my dj here at DV. So I won't record my non-lucid dreams in my DV journal. At least not every day.
Night 7:
1 dream = 1 point.
3 fragments = 1.5 points.
Night 8:
A great night! No lucids, though ... But very good recall, and I managed to get up for a WBTB. :)
4 dreams = 4 points. (Two before wbtb, and two after)
WBTB = 2 points.

I was almost Lucid last night guys, just barely missed it! Tonight I look forward to success as my self awareness is now starting to be integrated in my dreams. Its about to get alot better! :D And btw, my dream recall is back to where I like it, so everything is good now!

Finally a good night, at least for my standards! Unfortunately I didn't manage to do the Lucid Dare from Maxis, where I was supposed to die and survive it like a proper cat should be able to do - and best in the shape of an actual cat. But I'm working on it! I'm not yet sure, if my eye-out-ripping will count for the TOTM, since maybe I didn't examine it properly enough - I will put it up later as an extra, if I'm lucky and it counts!
Edit: Yupp - thanks FM for taking a look and agreeing - it counted and I corrected the score!

@Sensei: What do we do once we've completed our 4 step task?
Night #9
6 NLD's: 6 points
WBTB: 2 points (really have been off with my WBTB recently, must be my sleep schedule)
Total: 8 points + 82 points (previous nights)= 90 points

I have decided on a few new things that will make the next competition better, but cannot fix the problems with this one. Good job so far everyone! When we get some of the inactive people in here, it should be anyone's game. :D I hope that all of you are having fun. :)
I will be updating the score every day now. It is easier that way anyways. :tongue: Something I should have done from the start. Apparently I got an ear infection and sinus infection over the weekend. :/ The gift that keeps on giving.
I did see someone put "WILD" as 1 point. WILD isn't a way for us to score, so if you want to take that off and update your score, I will update it accordingly, or it can wait until the final round of me checking, and I will take it away then.
PLEASE
Read people's DJs and post in them
If you add in your points for your DJ, please tell me. If you do not tell, I will assume that you did not add it in your score
Have fun and encourage your teammates :) PM them, type on their DJs, or whatever you can do. :)
I am very behind my posting here.

WBTB = 2 points
Competition total = 30 points!
I have a vague feeling that sometime through the night I did a RC, the nose pinch, and that I could breathe anyway. Don't recall enough to be quite sure though, so it does not count as a LD, but I'm getting closer!! Tonight might be the night, haha. :)
Yeah! Go Mongooses! :D Let's take down those Snakes!
Attachment 7490
At this pace we even beat those tier 2 people! Even though they have set harder goals for themselves, I am going to completely ignore that and look at the points only:rolllaugh:
You guys better up your game!:chuckle:
Last night, no lucidity, despite 2 WBTB's:
2 WBTB = 2 points
2 dreams = 2 points
6 fragments = 3 points

:clap:Lets hear it for Sensei for keeping up with all our scores and posts! :clap:

Nothing at all! I didn't sleep!! I-I-I-I-I-I'm addicted to pewdiepie videos! Spent all night watching them, along with good mythical morning!
OK, 4 more days, plenty for more LDs and points! Go Hatfield!!
Well at least a return to lots of dreaming. Lots of WTF moments but no lucidity.

I skipped a night of sleep, so I didn't score at all yesterday. :blue:
Here is today's update:
Night #10:
DJ: Hyu's Blisters
Poor excuse for a lucid dream again... What's going on? :P
I had a good opportunity for a DEILD, but I psyched myself out.
Members who featured: Hyu (+ others not in DJ)
POINTS:

Fragment about kittens (1/2 point)
Total Comp: 32.5
No dreams the night before that due to 3 hours of sleep. Had a major event in my life on Monday which is taking up so much of my time and energy and thoughts and nerves that I do not know whether the rest of the comp will be successful.
Night #10
3 fragments: 1,5 points
2 dreams: 2 points
Competition Total: 111,5 points
Night #10
3 fragments: 2,5 points
Competition Total: 28,5 points
MrPriority, remember that the team sizes aren't the same for the different tiers either, they still kick our arses of a per-participant basis.
On that note, can we do the funnel reckoning by dividing the team score by the number of participants who actually took part, saving the snakes from being penalised for a couple of non-respondents? (Ditto the Sixth, I note) Also, the mongooses had one participant less to start with, just because we had an odd number of entrants, so we probably ought to account for that, too.
On a different note, I just remembered another fragment to add to last night :-P
SammyTheSnake
PS. I'm not doing too badly, 3rd from 15 in my tier, woo! :-)
No lucids. I missed a nice chance of becoming lucid, I was showing my DJ to my wife and talking about lucid dreams. :(
Dreams - 2
WBTB - 2
Points - 4
Competition Total - 92.5
Good you back on top of the germs, Sensei - and wow - what a tight race with our tier!!
Fantastic work with this comp again, Sensei - thank you soo much - boosted my lucidity no end - almost every day!
Cue: Happy Steph!
I got an extra 5 points for the TOTM being accepted and edited that in my last post - but I could also add it to the upcoming one - don't know?
Besides - I thought the count of comments would be determined in the end in some way by you - I didn't count my comments, and now am a bit clueless how to look up, where I did actually post and where not? Any tips on this?
Cheers!
:)
Looks like I got a couple totals wrong.
StephL, just keep track of your scores like you have been and ill whoop the board into submission. :) some people already count their comments, like someone said that they had been posting 5/day every day. I do have a way to check it in the end, but will trust people if they added their own. :P
Coool, Sensei! Thank you! Soo - not much and no lucid - but my recall made me very happy for last night - one of the best recalls I can recall right now! Not in terms of the number of dreams, of course - but the depth and vividness of memory down to trivial details. I love this feeling of having actually lived through these dreams, especially the last one, so it feels as if they belong to my "real experiences", if that makes any sense...
Spoils:
3 dreams: 3
__________
Night #10: 3 points
Comp total: 109.5 + 3 = 112.5 points
This already includes the extra 5 points for TOTM of night #9, but does not include any comments made in other's DJs.
I usually type up my dreams on my iPod instead of writing them down on paper (because terrible eyesight + handwriting + laziness = what the hell did I write last night???), but I wanted to try out recording because having a light shining in your face in the middle of the night doesn't help with recall/insomnia. But apparently my sleepy voice is really hard to decipher, lol. And I tend to leave out details when talking, whereas when I type, I end up including as many as I can. Maybe I'll give recording another try later, when I don't have to risk competition points...Quote:

Good morning, all -- a lot of weird dreams last night! In particular, my ex-girlfriend is sneaking around again :eek:, and I had the repeating theme of castles. I wasn't lucid in any of the castle dreams, unfortunately, or I would have looked for Howl and Calcifer :D I did manage a lucid this morning, but very short and ended with me quite confused as to my status. Dream was fragile anyway, as it was near the end of my sleep cycle. Looking forward to tonight!

No recall, no wbtb - no points. Didn't get much sleep last night, just a couple of hours before I had to go to work, so it's no wonder I have no recollection of dreaming. I start work late tomorrow - so I'm going to sleep for a looong time! And then I'm going to sleep some more! :zzz: And I'm going to do WBTB!! No lazyness allowed! :goodjob2:

Tonight is the night McCoy's that I do my best! :D My self awareness is coming in now!

Happy Dreams everybody !
Oh wow, I got lucid last night!! For the first time in months! I've had a feeling it would happen soon, because I've been slightly semi-lucid a couple of times this week.
I had a bunch of other dreams too. Wrote them all down in my personal dj, but it's too much to rewrite all of it into my Dreamviews dj. But my lucid is there, and a question about if my LD was a wild or a dild..? Here's a link to my dj:
07.08.14 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
And here are the points for the night:
4 fragments = 2 points
2 dreams =2 points
1 LD = 5 points
WBTB = 2 points
RC = 1 point
Basic Summoning = 4 points
Eat Something = 4 points
Complete 1x DV Extra Task = 5 points (personal goal, sing!)
Complete first chosen task - 5 points (Basic Summoning)
Complete second chosen task - 10 points (Eat Something)
That's 40 points! Add that with the 30 points from previous nights and thats 70 points!
(I hope I calculated the points correctly)
One fragment (0.5 points) - total: 33 points
2 Fragments - 1 Point
Comp Total - 29,5 Points
What a crazy, crazy night!!
:bliss:
I kid you not - of course nor do I cheat - but I had four lucid episodes last night!! Maximum ever have been two of them things - and I didn't even do something in the day before. I suspect, my heightened recall has to do with it - might not look like tons of recall, but believe me, that nightmare alone, from which I woke up finally, could fill pages, but I spared everybody and myself to go through all of it - and I was too lazy to jot down or dictate anything earlier in the night and my recall does not survive sleeping on (yet). One could say, I made exceptionally little use of these episodes - and I have to agree - doesn't disturb my joy on it, though - not a lot!
Aanyways - spoils of night #11: Competition Entry # 11 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

My internet connection is being really crapy for the last few days :mad:
I thought I had 5 fragments but on thinking about it turned out to one long dream. No lucids. 3 more days need to go all out now.:mwahaha:

Total Points - 3

Epic sex and 3 LD's, though not a lot of points. I realized the last two days that I had kind of worn out the later part of my extended RC's where I also go through what I want to do in my LD's during my day practices. I had done it so much that I lost interest in going after those particular goals. I may need to change how I plan to achieve the goals in order to revitalize my day practice and interest in going after those goals that will get me points. Anyway, yesterday I decided that I will just do whatever sounds fun in the moment that I become lucid and that is what I did this night!! (Will post back after I have typed up my dreams).
Good morning, Dreamviews:
3 dreams = 3
3 fragments = 1.5

@chessica: this is wonderful! So glad you got lucid!
@Steph: !!!!!! Four DILDS in a night??? What an adventure! Great job!
@fogelbise: did the sex happen in the dream or WL? :rolllaugh: either way, congrats on your lucids!
These 2 weeks are flying by! I don't have too much to do for the last 3 nights so I can sleep even more :) It helped this night!

My fragment was pretty lame, I just remember my boss breaking up with his new boyfriend and everyone being worried he'd be upset but he didn't care a jot.
I'm really hoping to have another lucid or two some time soon, I'd really like to break through 100 points! :-)
SammyTheSnake
Still no decent dream control this whole comp, but at least I got another lucid...
I am going to bust out at least ONE epic dream control LD before the week's up, just you wait!

Thanks ThreeCat - and yepp - forgot to say that here - so great you got lucid with the comp, Chessica! :clap:
Last night, just three fragments = 1.5 points.
I think that puts me up to 37.5 points.
Im so tired this week!
I recalled 3 dream last night. WBTB was too hard so only 3 points. Also I counted 2 too many dream the night before so we will add only 1 point for last night
218 + 1 = 219
Okay here's the DJ link plus dreams in spoiler below: 8/7/14 Sky, Sex & More Sex!! - Sensei's Competition Night 11 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
5 dreams, 2 fragments (finally some good recall!), wbtb, 5 dj comments - 9ptsSpoiler for The dreams:
DILD#1: remember lucid, fly - 9pts
DILD#2: remember lucid, TK, dc interact - 11pts
DILD#3: remember lucid, dc interact - 7pts
(see the spoiler for info on why I didn't try to go after competition goals this night)
previous total 160.5pts + 36pts = 196.5pts
If anyone is wondering why I liked your post on a bad night for you...it was probably because you at least attempted a wbtb or you said something encouraging to yourself or others. (or like Xanous honestly taking away points miscounted...much respect!) :) Edit: forgot dj points and shorted myself on night total.
I did another DEILD the other night but I woke up because I transitioned into an uncomfortable dream and somewhat panicked.
Remember 2 fragments: 1 point
Remember 2 dreams: 2 points
DEILD: 2 points
Remember a LD: 5 points
RC: 1 point
I'll type what happened here and later I'll put it in a dream journal. It's not very interesting...but I'm happy I was able to DEILD and it was really easy. Recently I was looking around and saw a thread that said something about focusing on one thing or something during WILD/DEILD, so I focused on my forehead.
Total for past couple nights: 11 pointsQuote:
I woke up from a dream and was laying sideways in my bed, but my eyes were still closed, so I stayed still and focused on my forehead and thought of a dream topic (can't remember what it was). After a few minutes, I felt a shudder and then a little after that I heard a *POP* sound and I was in a dream. It was a really easy and fast transition. I nose-plugged for fun because I like doing that xD. I was in a hallway that looked into a room with a portal (like a Minecraft portal) in it, but the walls were squishy and started squishing me and I panicked and woke up.
Total for competition: 43 points
4 Dreams and WBTB = 6 points
Total: 266 points for comp.
Had so much thought in my 3 epics last night, I just didn't think about lucidity! Excited for tonight. I am feeling more human again. Darn sickness.
http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/fryi...ight-12-59852/
edit: well, less of a disaster, got a nap with some dreams and fragments including a nice kiss, so no more sad faces. Still a crappy night all told though.
2 dreams - 2
2 fragments - 1
WBTB - 2
night total: 5
competition total: 64.5 + 5 = 69.5
I got lucid last night again! Didn't quite beat your amazing four, Steph but I got pretty close with 3 LDs!
The first two were lacking quality and I was not really aware, but the 3rd one was super life like! That probably caused, that I lost the dream after a few seconds. Damn stability problems :bang:
Anyway, here's my score..
Competition night #12
- 3 dreams = 3 points
- 1 fragment = 1/2 point
- 3 LDs = 15 points
- RC/Stabilization x3 = 3 points
- WBTB = 2 points

No lucid tonight, but I remember 3 very long and vivid dreams, and did a wbtb. That would be 5 points for the night and a competition total of 75 points. :)

No lucids tonight. I am not able to recall another dream before WBTB, it was kind of lucid I felt :(, but now drawing a blank. Two more days(nights) to go, final stretch, a lucid now would be awesome....

Last night I changed my sleeping schedule a little bit again, sorry guys! I forgot to try WBTB today too. However, I almost became lucid again twice, maybe more but that's all I can remember. My recall was a little off today, but Im sure it'll be better tomorrow! Something tells me that tonight I will get a few lucids! :D
Same here fogelbise! Looking to really do my best these last nights. I am going to try to get all of my 3-step tasks along with the bonus one done! :DQuote:

Ah well, it's only half a point, and the 100s of lucid dreams I intend to have over the next couple of night will be worth 1000s of points :-D

Keep up the good work ya'll. Two more nights for most of us. I'll update the points again when the competition is over and then again when I have checked everything and put in all the bonuses! We shall have a party. :3
Well I got lucid twice but barely recall. In one I was lucid and looking at my bedroom but my eyes were actually open at some point and I woke up. Forgot the other but that's how it goes.
5 dreams = 5 points
WBTB was a pitiful sigh and roll over.

Points - 4.5
Total Competition - 103 Reached 100 points in my first competition itself. I am very happy :woohoo:
Weell - can't follow up, it seems. But I'm still graced with nice in depth recall and have a huge dream present in such a way, that I can reconstruct it in terms of what first, what then and the details. This feels like an achievement, actually. Usually there are some holes in the story, switches I can't explain or they are much shorter, which probably simply means, they were parts of longer dreams, and are what is left. This only one point of mine took about 40 min. I would guess, from what was all in it. Thinking of Chessica here - with less good recall, this could have ended up as two dreams and fragments, maybe. But hey.
Okay:
WBTB: 2
1 dream: 1
1 fragment: 0.5

Night #13: 3.5 points

I too have experienced the same. This I feel is a great improvement in my dream recall, thanks to this competition. I have for the last few days have been able to recall full dreams with no holes and able to identify where the dreams transitions happens. Well it is still fewer points but I still prefer to have the full dream recalls.Quote:

Messed up my sleeping schedule again :( stayed up too late and my recall paid for it. Really hoping to get at least 2 more lucids before the end of the competition. Ahhhh, this dry spell. Going to end it right now during my next nap! :D

But seriously this is neck in neck to the finish line, and probably the one who passes the other will be the only who gets a spot in the top 3.
All I want to say is good luck, and may the best LDer of us get the 3rd spot! :D

After a night of deep sleep I thought the night was a wash but had the willpower to hold out for a WILD which I'm usually too lazy for lately. A little short (maybe 3 minutes) but a very cool experience!
Freaking awesome. Can't wait to read it!Quote:
