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...

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.

Night #8

Late night, early morning = no recall for me

Did attempt a WBTB though 4 hours in

2 points

Do we still get points for WILD? I didn't see it in the list, so I didn't give myself any points for it.

4 dreams - 4
1 Lucid - 5
WBTB - 2
DEILD - 2
WILD - ?

DC interaction - 2
telekinesis - 4
elemental manipulation - 8
time control - 10
electronic device - 4
basic summoning - 4
Meet famous dreamer - 30 (I think my famous dreamer counts as a famous dreamer? Not really sure how strict you are about it being like freddy krueger or mr. inception)

Night total: 75
Competition Total: 297 + 75 = 372

School, Military, Vampires, and a WILD - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

1 dream: 1
1 fragment: 0.5
____________

Night #8: 8.5 points

Comp total: 73 + 8.5 = 81.5 points

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

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.

Competition total: 25.5 points.

Night #8

4 NLD's: 4 points
WBTB: 2 points

Total- 6 + 68 (previous nights)= 74 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! And btw, my dream recall is back to where I like it, so everything is good now!

Almost Lucid, Vivid Adventures - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

decided to stay up late watching movies

tired from messed up sleep, no wbtb

Some decent dreams though, especially picking flowers that felt very aware

Total Points - 3

Competition Total - 88.5

Night #9
2 Dreams - 2 Points
2 Fragments - 1 Point

Comp Total - 26 Points

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!

1 dream: 1

Night #9: 28 points

Comp total: 81.5 + 28 = 109.5 points


Aah - happy for now! What was good, I think, was just pretending nothing had happened upon lucidity, and this stabilized the dream nicely.

2 fragments-1 point
1 dream-1 point
competition total-119.5 points

Thanks to the Comp, got my first induced LD in months!!

Good morning, Dreamviews I managed a WILD this morning, and managed to complete my fourth step task. Here is nightly summary:

WILD #4: "Swimming Pool" - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

5 dreams = 5
2 frags = 1

WBTB = 2

LD = 5
RC = 1
Interact w/ DC = 2

Basic Summon = 4
Phase hand through wall = 4
Phase body through wall = 8

Fourth step task = 50

Nightly total = 82
Comp total = 242

Note: I deleted 7 points from my total because I have been counting WILD attempts as 1 every night. Sorry about that.

@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 was almost Lucid twice tonight guys! Tonight I REALLY do expect success and a few LD's. I added on a few points because I forgot to add my "interact with a DC" from my past LD.

Almost Lucid Again(2 times), and more Vivid adventures - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

I had my alarm set for WBTB but I passed right back out.

+ 2 dreams
