Thread: Sensei's Competition

Night #4. Meh. No WBTB, no middle-of-night-recall/record, come on FM!

3 dreams - 3
3 fragments - 1.5

night total: 4.5
competition total: 19 + 4.5 = 23.5

I had a busy night last night, but the WBTB strategy seems to be paying off:

3 dreams: 3 points
1 Lucid dream: 5 points
2 WBTB: 2 points
Interact with DC: 2 points
First step task: 5 points

Total: 17 points

Competition Total: 20.5 (I think)

Here is my DJ entry: Bullying The Teacher

I think what really helped me get this long-awaited lucid, was listening to lucid dreaming podcasts at work. It kept the topic on my mind throughout the evening (since I work late hours). It's a shame the DV podcast doesn't seem to be going anymore, but there are other lucid dreaming podcasts going, and I'll get around to listening to.

Canis, Dreamer and FryingMan, thank you for the good recall advice, helped a ton!

Competition night #4

- 4 dreams = 4 points
- 5 dream fragments = 2.5 points
- 1 WBTB = 2 points
_____________________

8.5 points

Competition Total: 21.5 points

1 dream (1point) - comp total 2.5 points

Lots of stress in my life right now, and lots else to focus on other than dreams, so I figure having any dream recall is already something.

3rd night.

2 fragments - 1 point
Comp Total 8 Points

One of these fragments was a FA. It was so obvious. Damn I'm pissed..
We should get punished for missing FAs.
So, Sensei... I suggest subtracting points for missed FA. Like -5..

Night 4:

Mosquito bites

1 - Remember dream
.5 - Remember fragment

Total: 1.5 pts
Competition total: 28 + 1.5 = 29 pts

No punishing people. Taking points away is a bad teaching method. positive reinforcement, not negative!

I looked at the settings in my DJ settings thing and as far as I can see it should enable comments in all new DJ entries, but I just had to set every DJ entry's comments to enabled. :-S

Here's a link to my DJ containing the dreams: Sensei's Competition Night 4 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Next time I have a lucid I'm going to actually do stuff so I can earn some points

Oh man I want another lucid too

Late night function, so got into bed around 1:30 AM (I'm an 8:00 guy, to give you an idea!). Was lucid during the night, but don't remember a damn thing else. I am counting it as a fragment--woohoo! Otherwise, my totals:

2 dreams: 2
3 frags: 1.5
WBTB: 2
WILD: 1

LD from previous day (did not record): 5
Interact with DC: 2
20 DJ comments (yikes!): 4

Nightly total: 6.5
Comp total: 118

And to give you all an idea, I will discuss my WILD and WBTB.

My WBTB to bed consisted of sitting up in bed at 6:30ish, and realizing I never moved to my sleeping bag (yes, I sleep on the floor as I feel it helps me recall dreams). I groggily get up after feeling I have floated in hypnopompia for most of the night. I move my dream arsenal to the floor, DJ, pee, drink some water, and then sit on the floor for a bit. This takes, all in all, about twenty minutes. Excitement!

My WILD attempt was interesting. I could see mental imagery forming (felt like I was walking somewhere, then that I was sitting down with my hands folded, and then petting a cat). I realized this was mental construction, and made the resolution to mindfully observe and enter the dream. I fell asleep

I will post NLDs and fragments later: I can't spend the WHOLE day on Dreamviews, Sensei!

Night 4/ I think that I became lucid last night but I am not planning on counting it unless I can remember something more concrete. If I became lucid I may have lost lucidity and/or had a series of FAs. I definitely had a long FA where other distracting stuff was going on with my wife and son. That FA wasn't caught until I actually woke up. At the beginning of that FA I was trying to DEILD. Maybe it was not a true lucid but I think I remember being excited about doing some dream control item and I *think* that I remember becoming lucid at one of the dream signs I told myself to watch out for (downtown/work+train) and may have gotten as far as step 1. The last time this happened I remembered a key event in the dream and it all came flooding back.

Please send positive vibes my way helping me to remember.

For now: 1 dream, 2 fragments, wbtb, 5 more DJ comments: 5pts + 35 previously=40pts Night 4
