It's often more fun to write about those than about a whole boring dream with lots of weak scenes. If it sticks in my memory without the context, it tends to be something vivid and nicely weird, actually! Like doing brain-surgery on a talking horse last night.Quote:

I find it great that there is a bit more tüdelidü to win than just the Tier and/or getting on top of the other team by the way!
Lovely idea with the badges - that opens up so many ways to get something not exactly tangible, but pride-inducing out of it! These wings are genius - sometimes I feel, I keep it up for vanity, but hey ho - whatever makes you fly, isn't it? :wink:
Another new thing I really like is that there are points for posting in other people's DJs when they have a lucid - double and triple effects from this - for the DJ-holder it's great to see, somebody took a look and an interest, and what they think - you feel good, when you post, because you know this - aand points on top as the cream on the cake!
Umpteenth edit: I keep mentioning cake today, did it again - seems I should follow my unconscious mind and get my fingers on some real life version of it to go with the umpteenth coffee!
Sensei: Question about scoring: can a single dream control event be scored for more than one point category?
For example: I have a lucid dare to make a fireball and throw it. For the competition, do I have to choose between EITHER lucid dare OR element control points for this one event? Or do I get them BOTH (and even more if they apply?)
First night:
1 Fragment - 0.5
2 Dreams - 2
1 WBTB - 2
Total - 4.5
Night #1:
DJ: Extreme Weather, Awkward Sex, Blindness
A lot of DV members featured and dream signs were screaming at me all over the place, but I only managed 2 LDs (+1 DEILD) with really low levels of lucidity (one may have been decent, but my recall was awful for that dream.)
Members who featured: sivason, Dark_Merlin, Original Poster, CanisLucidus, Jenkees, Sensei, StephL, Sageous.
Sorry for the total awkwardness, Merlin! haha
I'm unsure what counts as a 'full dream' vs 'fragment'.
I've counted my points with the assumption that a 'full dream' means you remember all the events from the dream, not just a random detail. I had quite a few short dreams that I would consider 'full dreams' despite their length, but let me know if I need to change them to fragments.
Induction and Recall:
5 x Fragments = 2.5 points
8 x Full dreams = 8 points
2 x Lucid dreams = 10 points
1 x DEILD = 2 points
1 x WBTB = 2 points
Sub-total: 24.5 points
Dream Control Tasks:
1 x RC/Stabilize = 1 point
1 x Interact with a DC = 2 points
1 x Flying = 4 points
1 x Telekinesis = 4 points
1 x Basic Summoning = 4 points
1 x Eat Something = 4 points
1 x Object/DC Changing = 4 points
1 x Element Manipulation = 8 points
Sub-total: 31 points
NIGHTLY TOTAL: 55.5 points
I have counted 'interact with a DC', but I was controlling the DC, not actually talking with them. Let me know if I should remove that point.
Checked with Sensei and updated score to include TK.
I'm also pretty sure I completed the Challenge Task and some additional Dream Control tasks in my earlier LD, and probably a Team Task too, but I lost a lot of memories from that dream so I can't confirm.
* Miscalculated score and left out 4 points. Updated to include them. :)
@Nfri
Stabilize/RC are in the same task, so you only get points for one, and there is no fight your teammate (especially nor for jedi!) ;) awesome night man.
Everyone!
Also, a specific task can only count for one in each point column, for instance, getting naked couldn't count as a totm and lucid dare, things can mix very well, but cannot match. I forgot to put that in the rules. Something like "meet a teammate" and "meet DV member" do not match, and are in seperate scoring areas, so they are fine (so if you are checking out lucid dares... And totms... :P) will update that rule today when I get to a computer.
Cool poster! :)Quote:

Lucid last night -- will post to DJ later (when I'm not on thus blasted phone!). What I have so far:
2 NLDs : 2 pts
1 fragment : 1/2 point
1 LD: 5 points
Successful RC: 1 pt
Successful Stabilize: 1 pt
Interact w/ DC: 4
Basic object changing: 4
Attempt WILD (with DV False awakening!!): 1 pt
WBTB: 2 points
Will update DJ hopefully in a few hours, and will try to include any points I missed. Total 20.5 points.
1 x Fragments = 0.5 points
3 x Full dreams = 3 points
1 x WBTB = 2 points
Total: 5.5 points
Great job Dreamer! :happy:Quote:

I just remembered another fragment about poltergeists... Something just fell off my kitchen table and reminded me. :P
I'm gonna add that to my DJ and add another ½ point to my score.
Do those points stack? So does doing all 4 tasks give 85 or 50 points?Quote:

The Tasks - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
So I made a mistake: 17.5 points, not 20. However, I have now updated my journal. Sensei, you and gab cameoed in an NLD, and StephL, I thought of a post you made on here while dreaming! Cool stuff :)
http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/thre...1-lucid-59520/
And some of these point totals are blowing my mind (111? 177? wtf?). Freaking awesome. Good job everyone.
I have also posted a question in my DJ, which should help people get some comment points . . . you know, just sayin :content:
3 full NLDs- 3 points
4 fragments- 2 points
total- 5 points
Intelligent Bug, School again, Race on the Track, Nightmare, some fragments - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
lol slow start guys, but Ill be up in the ranks soon :) lets keep at it McCoy's! We can do this! :D
Talk about bad timing. I had a WBTB just on Sunday afternoon nap before the competition started, but none at night:(. I tried unsuccessfully for WBTB but gave up and went to sleep. The weirdest thing I remembered two dreams on waking one before WBTB and one after. I repeated the entire dream twice to my memory ensure I do not forget, but now can remember only one fragment. It was riding down an elevator of a two-story building. I was thinking this is weird why I would need a elevator(not typical for me), I guess TOTM was in my mind.
so WBTB fail - 2
1 df - 0.5
Well, I knew I was simply trying to up my game by challenging myself with the big dogs in tier 3, but it looks like I will need to put together some proper plans to have a shot. No LDs for night 1.
1 dream, 2 fragments, 1 wbtb attempt: 4pts
I will also try to make time to go through all of these posts and browse and comment in some DJ's hopefully by tonight. I agree that it is nice to get comments in your DJ and I like this idea.
Let me just post my three step goal here, before I go to bed:
1. Teleportation
2. Basic Summoning
3. Telekinesis
Personal goal:
Eat something
I have only ever teleported before, not that successful, so I might be pushing it here. But if you want to grow, you got to reach for the stars!
Good to see everyone is off to a motivated start! Let's hope tonight is as fruitfull for me, as last night was for some of you guys! Oh en for everyone else too of course! Except those snakes, grrrr.
(I kid of course)
Good luck everyone!

Awesome! It's really cool that people are pushing themselves. I have absolutely no idea how I am going to fully transform (well, I have an inkling :mwahaha:) but I agree: we have to stretch ourselves to bust down those silly waking life schemas and paradigms. Good luck! Sounds like you have your priorities straight! :dreamerchair: No idea what that smiley is, but it looks fun!Quote:

Question: does walking through glass doors count as walking through a big solid object?
I recalled an aditional fragment of lusting over racy pictures of an ex co-worker on facebook. :whyme:
.5 point
total 7.5
Antoia. I would say that glass is solid. If it breaks on the way through that would be different though. :P
Nfri. I think I am gonna have to let it slide since I put nothing in it this competition. I know that yours would work with or without the rule. I doubt it will be much of a problem later when we don't have the current TOTMs. I will make a rule about the personal goal later, but lucid dares crossing over won't be a problem aft
