DreamViews Extra Tasks

The status for each task will either be "complete" or "incomplete", so there is no reason to complete any twice.
You can complete more than one DV Extra Task per dream.
Tasks include:

• Task of the Month (January February)

• Task of the Year (2015)

• Lucid Dares (Choose an 'Anyone' dare, or a dare that has been assigned to you.)

Complete 1 - 10 points
Complete 2 - 20 points
Complete 3 - 30 points


Challenge Tasks

There will be one Challenge Task each week. The second task will be announced at the end of Week 1.
Points for each challenge can only be claimed once.

Spoiler for Week 1:

Week 1:

I often tell people about hurting themselves in dreams as being a way to raise awareness, but I sometimes forget to tell people that the opposite can also be productive:

• Feel something good of any sort in a dream (this could be something like: the amazing feeling of becoming lucid, tasting something delicious, anything that just has a positive feeling about it.)

At the end of the week, link to the LD that you had with the best feeling and rate it from 1-10. Your points will be 2x that. 1-10 is rated from your own personal good dream feelings. So if it is the best you have felt in a dream personally, then it is 10.

Week 2:

The theme of this week's task will be based around your team.

Pirates: Find a ninja shrine and steal their sacred ninja scrolls.
Ninjas: Find a pirate ship and steal their awesome pirate's booty.

Montagues and Capulets:
Choose between
• Attend the Capulet ball and fall in love with Romeo or Juliet.
• Defeat your rival in a sword duel. If you're Capulet, defeat Romeo. If you're Montague, defeat Tybalt.

Beatles: Ask a DC to sing a line of their favorite Beatles song. Report their response.
Stones: Ask a DC to sing a line of their favorite Rolling Stones song. Report their response.

Three-Step Tasks

Choose 3 different Dream Control Tasks from the list above, excluding RC/Stabilization.

Beginner
Pick any of the Dream Control Tasks

Intermediate
Last task must be an Advanced Dream Control Task

Expert
All 3 must be Advanced Dream Control Tasks

Tasks must be completed in order.
Multiple tasks can be completed in one dream, but they can also be completed in separate dreams.
You may change tasks at any time, even if you are on task 2 or 3, as long as your updated task choices are posted before the night you complete them.
If you choose to include an Unspecified Dream Control task, describe your task here in advance.
In addition to receiving points for the Dream Control task, you will also receive bonus points:

• Complete first chosen task - 5 points
• Complete second chosen task - 10 points
• Complete third chosen task - 15 points

• Meet another teammate in the same dream/chain - 3 points (once per dream/chain)

• Show your teammate a previous dream (in-dream)* - 10 points

• Have a teammate take you somewhere from a previous dream of theirs* - 10 points

Enemy Tasks

Enemies are opposition members from your own league.
Asterisks* indicate that points can only be claimed for these tasks once during the competition.

• Meet an enemy - 5 points (once per dream/chain)

• Meet another enemy in the same dream/chain - 3 points (once per dream/chain)

Personal Tasks

New Personal Tasks can be completed unlimited times.
You must post the DJ of the task to claim points.
You can change tasks at any time.
You can only have one lucid task or incubation listed at a time.
Must be a task or incubation that you have not completed in a lucid dream before.

• Lucid Task - 15 points
Choose your own task to complete in a lucid dream.

• Incubation Task - 15 points
Choose a person, place, thing, or theme that you want to see in a dream and try to incubate it.


Dream Journal Points

Points will be awarded at the end of the competition for posting comments in other contestants’ Dream Journals. Only DJ entries containing dreams from the competition are included.
Only one comment per DJ entry will earn points (a conversation on the same entry will still count as one.)

• 1 point will be awarded for every 5 DJ comments.

Add these up for yourself as you go. If you don’t understand, I can walk you through it.

This is just a little kick to get people posting in Dream Journals. I feel a lot better about writing in a DJ knowing that people are going to read and comment on it; I am sure others feel like I do. It isn't worth many points because this is a dreaming competition, but it could add a few bonus points to your final score.
When posting comments in a DJ, it is helpful to "like" the entry so that the member will get a notification on DV. You should also “like” any comments on your DJ when you read/respond to them, so that people know you have seen it.
Make sure you read the dreams so you can make a comment with some substance (more than a quick one-word comment.)


Betting!

If you have the points to spend, you can bet up to 5 points each day that you will have a lucid dream that night.
If you do have a lucid dream that night, you will earn 5 points!
If you do not have a lucid dream that night, you must deduct 5 points from your current total score.

This is to get you more confident in your feeling of knowing that you are going to lucid dream. I hear a lot of you say, “I know I am gonna lucid dream tonight!” Well then, bet on it!


Now what?

Post your task choices for each of the following:
Three-Step Task
Personal Goal
Personal Incubation

Keep track of your nightly scores and post your updates/subtotals here when you can.

Have fun everyone, and good luck!
