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. I hope that all of you are having fun.

I will be updating the score every day now. It is easier that way anyways. 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.

Here's my update for today! Trying not to fall too far behind on my updates, but it's tough! Thanks for the scorecard, Sensei, I know that's a good bit of work.

August 4th

2 x Full dreams = 2
1 x WBTB = 2

Nightly Total: 4
Competition Total: 82 + 4 = 86

August 5th
4 x Full dreams = 4
1 x WBTB = 2

Lucid #1
1 x Lucid = 5

Full dream: The Dream Queue - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Lucid #2
1 x Lucid = 5
1 X Stabilize = 1
1 x Advanced Flying = 10
1 x Hand through solid object = 4

Full dream: The Fall from Orbit - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Nightly Total: 31
Competition Total: 86 + 31 = 117

Night 9:

2 dreams = 2 points
1 fragment = 0.5 points
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! Let's take down those Snakes!

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

You guys better up your game!

Last night, no lucidity, despite 2 WBTB's:

2 WBTB = 2 points
2 dreams = 2 points
6 fragments = 3 points

Total = 7 points

Competition total = 33 points.

Lets hear it for Sensei for keeping up with all our scores and posts!
This has got to be a ton of work!

Go Hatfields!

Night 9:

Tried using voice recording instead of typing, turned out terribly. Gonna go back to typing tonight.

2 x 0.5 - Remember a fragment
2 - WBTB

Total: 3 pts
Competition total: 40 pts

Day 10:
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.

00:00 Wednesday 2014-08-06 competition #18 (sensei #1), night #10, lots of dreams/frags - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

7 dreams - 7

What didn't you like about voice recording?
I tried it the last couple nights and it worked wonderful for me! I didn't have to turn on the lights and didn't have to decode my scribblings the next morning. Only had to hear my groggy voice

Competition night #10

WBTB: 2 points
NLD: 1 point - good recall
Fragment: 1/2 point

Night total: 3.5
Competition total so far: 73.5

DJ: Competition night #10 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

SammyTheSnake

I skipped a night of sleep, so I didn't score at all yesterday.
Here is today's update:

Night #10:
DJ: Hyu's Blisters
Poor excuse for a lucid dream again... What's going on?
I had a good opportunity for a DEILD, but I psyched myself out.

Members who featured: Hyu (+ others not in DJ)

POINTS:

Induction and Recall:
2 x Fragments = 1 point
4 x Full dreams = 4 points
1 x Lucid dream = 5 points
1 x DEILD = 2 points
1 x WBTB = 2 points
Sub-total: 14 points

NIGHTLY TOTAL: 14 points
COMPETITION: 193.5 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

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.

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...

Good morning, all -- a lot of weird dreams last night! In particular, my ex-girlfriend is sneaking around again , 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 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!
