I don't know what I did, but I just had the best lucid experience I've ever freaking had in my life. I laid down for a 2 hour nap, and had what felt like an epic day-long lucid. So long, in fact that I probably forgot some of the details of the beginning parts.

I have no idea where this expert-level performance came from, but boy, did it feel amazing. I'll give this one a 10 on the weekly good feeling, because I've been awake for like 40 minutes, and I'm still like shaking from how good it was.

Dream about Stephen LaBerge. We're talking about lucid dreaming and walking in the park. I get a thought that this may be a dream, but I wanted to be real and I refused doing RC and just hoping that I actually met him in real. :doh:

Two days ago I wanted (but forgot to bet) and yet I got lucid. Yesterday I bet but last night did not get a lucid dream... dang it!!
A very weak night. I woke up many times and I lost a whole dream because I fell back asleep before writing it down. Spent my WBTB (failed) trying to recall to get only fragments. It seems a tough night for ninjas overall. I will be gone all day so no chance for me to WILD later. If it wasn't for incubation points, I would have lost points haha (due losing bet)
I am not betting tonight, I will get home very, very late.

Spoiler for Dreams:
I realized I was dreaming sitting in a car. I RC and notice that I am in a broken time machine from back to the future. I could get back to the right time if I wanted, but that didn't matter too much. Marshall from HIMYM was there and he was very interested, so I started showing it to him and fixing the broken parts with telekinesis and dream magic. Explaining it away that the car itself heals itself when broken. He was super intrigued, so I decided to take him to the future. I took him there and we ended up on a place that I used to work, except we were 6 feet underground. I reverse it and say that we must have forgotten something. I want it to work like the one in the movie, so I peel out.
"We gotta get going to 88 miles per hour." I say and we hit heavy traffic. I maneuver around the cars until I hit country roads. I hit 88 MPH and I disappear away from him. Leaving him with a time machine. I hope I see him again some time. Time traveling Marshal would be an awesome consistent DC. http://cdn1.sciencefiction.com/wp-co...-delorean.jpeg
I am in an underground library. It goes for miles and miles it seems. There are quite a few people at first, but then it starts getting creepy as there are less and less people. I realize that it must be a dream. I RC and start looking around. Been wanting to look at books lately. I notice a book that looks just like the version of Gulliver's Travels that I own. http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225...QmIK3aB-DQ.jpg
I pick it up and it is bigger than the one I own. I read the side and it says "D**** Castles" (I forgot the rest, it did actually say something there) I open it up and each page is actually like the cover, not actual pages, so even though it is big, it is like a big velvet board book with like 8 pages. The first page is the whole layout of a castle, and the next 8 pages are different parts of it closer up. They are labeled "overview, guard house, tower, courtyard". I set the book down and look around. "messy mirror" is labeled on the door. I go in and there is a small mirror about waste height that I look into. It shows a masked man directly behind me wearing all black and a mask similar to this: http://dcraig.blogs.redding.com/wp-c...4/05/queen.jpg
I am concerned and turn around ready to fight. There is no one there. I burst out laughing and look at a few more mirrors. There is one that puts the mask on you, and another that doesn't show you, but shows the room behind you (masked mad still there). I walk out of the room and talk to my dream wife about it. She doesn't want to try. I tell her that it is just a dream, but she doesn't want to be creeped out. We hit the end of the library after a while of walking and there is a table with 7 people around it. There is also a staircase leading upwards. We head up and notice that the people are having a board meeting there. They stop and yell at us when we head up and my wife apologizes. I ignore it and go up anyways. I wake up. haha.

Well, I picked my Challenge Task dream. If it has to be a lucid dream, it's this one: LD I rate this dream a 6, so I get 12 points.
I had a better one but it was non-lucid.
Well, I guess there'll be no points for the challenge task.
But no reason to give up hope, we've still got one week left!

I think you might have counted points for a bet twice, Percylucid. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
On this day, I think that you counted the bet before you completed it (You counted 25 points even though you only scored 20): Post 1
Then in a meditation WILD-nap later, you counted the bet points again, giving you 10 points for the bet instead of 5. It's not that big of a deal, I'm just pointing it out in case you didn't notice :content: Post 2

Competition night 7, new score 79p
indont have any memory of the dream before lucidity, and it didn't exactl last long, but a cool, high lucidity LD nonetheless...
Spoiler for lucid dream:
i become lucid and, inspired by sivason's post in Sageous' memory thread, http://www.dreamviews.com/general-lu...ml#post2145631, I try to remember where my body is sleeping and what is happening in my life at my family home, in between terms such at university, while rubbing my hands to stabilise. However, I have taken too much focus away from the dream scene and it fades.

Going to get more sleep the next few days. Looking out for some lucids :)
best feeling rated 8 was in the dream that my mind generated real like fantasy forest and the elvish/viking city. I've felt so excited about the place.
During my morning dream journaling I remebered two more fragments, which one of them was lucid in the first half of the night.
I'm in my grandmothers living room. I don't recall how I become lucid but I know I remember my three step task. I need to go out to perform my teleport. I try to fully phase through a solid wall. It's not working. I try it and then I'm stucked in the wall. It feels not very good. Can't move. I somehow get back to the living room. There is a window so I try to phase through it. I'm trapped in the window. I focus hard and manage to get to the garden. I tell to myself I need practice in phasing things up so I do that for a while and then I think I loose my lucidity and don't wake up. total = 234 + 60 = 294

Best feeling in an LD: Mononokehime's Sacred Forest Pond Thing
I give this one an 8.5/10
It was so peaceful and beautiful, and I love everything Miyazaki, so this moment made me feel pretty darn good. It doesn't trump that feeling I had the very first time I got Lucid (was so happy I lost it immediately) but it's high up on my list of good feels.

Wow AnotherDreamer you are hard to keep behind... sharing a bed with Dreamer has its advantages :D (lucid dreaming speaking of course, other advantages are beyond my business :D) Awesome job mate!!! You are making this competition interesting, very, you and a few more, but you are the one behind my rear lol.
I am gonna sweat hard, but I need to keep you from the distance... even though last night did not help... I am so WILDing this afternoon!
Well, I could have the worst night ever in terms of recalls. I slept like a bear... but did not even woke up to go to the bathroom (extremely rare) and only recalled one fragment. But early morning sex and falling asleep afterwards provided a tiny DILD. I am not giving myself points for this WBTB because I had no intents to WBTB... I did not notice falling asleep until I was in the dream.

Spoiler for dreams:
I am walking in my room. I realize I am dreaming and RC. I notice that it is quite unstable and wake up in pain.
I am walking in a hotel room, I realize I am dreaming. I RC and phase through the wall to outside. There is one car and I jump in. It is not working. I jump out and open the hood. it is destroyed. I TK it all and fix it. I make jump in the car, drive, and... who knows? I forgot. lol
After thinking about the mirror, I realize that it looked more like the Shrek mask. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget....209-rm-eng.jpg

Oops, fell a little behind with updating.
Friday night had nothing, not during my regular sleep or my nap. So yeah, 0 pts for that one.
Saturday night:
2 fragments - 1 pt
Sunday nap:
1 dream - 1 pt
1 DILD - 10 pts
The dream itself wasn't much, so I'll just post it here.
Spoiler for Dream and DILD:
I was playing some Luigi's Mansion-esque horror game. I was at this point playing a side-scrolling Castlevania-style level, where I was attacked by monsters. I remember physically feeling the pain of the main character, even though I wasn't actually in the game. My mom yelled at me to go outside for something. As I walked out the door, I became lucid for some reason. I wasn't thinking straight, however, and I thought in order to take off and fly, I needed to find some high ground, like the top of my car. I tried to jump up there, but my feet felt like concrete, and I only got a few inches off the ground. I ended up crawling onto the hood, but then I was woken up by my noisy neighbors playing their dorm-shaking bass for no reason. I would've gone back to sleep, but the Japanese food I had for lunch had kicked in, so that was my top priority instead. :P
Sunday night
1 dream - 1 pt
3-Night Total - 13 pts
Competition Total - 159.5 pts
This weekend had a lot of late nights for me, due to homework and different events and stuff. However, today is still young, so I bet 5 points that when I take my nap today, I will become lucid.

Spoiler for dreams:
A lot of dreams and a couple super short lucid dreams :D
I became lucid while peeing then immediately woke up.
I became lucid again while looking at a wall that was covered in strange bugs. I did a reality check then I think I opened my actual eyes while I was still dreaming. I was jolted into bed suddenly and I tried to roll out but it felt like my chest was pinned there. I used telekinesis to move my body but only my legs flailed off the bed while my chest and vision remained stuck in place. I did more RCs to make sure I was dreaming Still. I blinked my eyes once and I could suddenly feel my body in bed and I could move, what I was seeing remained unchanged. Weird.
I bet 5 points that I will be lucid again tonight! :)

Welp, had two naps today actually, and managed to get lucid in one, even if for just a bit.
Nap 1
DILD - 10 pts
Flying - 4 pts
Bet - 5 pts
Again, it's short, so I'll just put it here.
Spoiler for Nap 1:
I think I immediately FAed in my bedroom at home, and my mom was saying something about someone coming over. I walked over to the window, and looked down to see a small black Smart car pulling in my driveway. I realized that I wasn't wearing a shirt - only a pair of jeans. I rushed downstairs, but there was a ton of suitcases and pillows stacked up at the bottom. I managed to climb over them to get the laundry room, but realize there's no shirts hanging up. I immediately regretted taking such a long nap, and went to head upstairs, when I remembered that I had laid down to take a nap in my dorm, not at home. This made me become lucid. I tried to fly, but like my last lucid, my feet felt like they were made of cement. I walked over to the stairs, and stood on them for a while, facing the stack of suitcases. I focused and said out loud, "This is a dream." As I said the words, I suddenly felt lighter and started to float up. I continued to float until I hit the ceiling, and then the dream destabilized. No matter, anyway, since my 30 minute timer for my power nap went off while it was destabilizing, so I wouldn't have made it much further anyway.
Nap 2
1 dream - 1 pt
Nap(s) total - 20 pts
Also realized I forgot to add the Week 1 challenge to my points total. I gave this dream a 10, as I was still shaking with excitement for an hour after waking up.
Week 1 Challenge - 20 pts
Competition total - 199.5 pts
Well, a pretty good night for me. And now, I am heading a couple days with my wife to a spa... let's see how it goes during the nights :) But today I scored good and had an awesome lucid, felt pretty cool, even thought not my best ones.

New score: 90p
Starting to think I might be getting a mental block over mirrors, lol
Spoiler for The LD:
I had been attempting WILD, and now I am attempting WILD in a room I have never seen before. I start getting bodily distortions, and then I notice the branches of a fir tree reaching in through the window, and the more I look at it the more these sensations increase. I close my eyes and they subside. At first I think that to transition I need to look at the tree, but then I reject this as patently absurd and reality check. Now lucid, I get out of bed and float down the landing and stairs as if in moon gravity. I can't believe the perceptual realism. I get to the living room and remember Sivason's WL recall technique, but I reason that I can remember to remember my waking life is memory enough, and I don't want to waste time. I think about my Twin Peaks task and approach my living room mirror, wanting to make up for my previous fail. Rather than blindly leap into it, I decide to try and alter the reflection to show my intended scene. I start rubbing my hands over the mirror, as if to wipe away the surface and reveal my destination, but this only results in an authentic feeling of friction and squeaky noise. Then I start tapping my fingers on the mirror. This has a bit more effect, making the mirror ripple where I am tapping it, but I'm also repelled as if by some magnetic force. Every time I try to approach the mirror now I am thrown back. I am just about to start trying something else when I wake.
I accomplished my goal of connecting to waking life memory in the dream but I looked back and didn't update this goal in writing in the thread so I guess I don't get those points, and now that I've done it in a dream, I can't claim it as goal any more :(.

Dreams remembered
1. I was working a 12 hour shift in a prison like organization. Everyone was mean as hell. A girl was really threatening this guy's ass, but I knew if she did, he would eventually kill her.
2. I was being forced to marry this guy. His family held me captive. They made me lie down and they held me down so he could have sex with me, I broke lose and ran.
3. I met a family from Germany. It was a couple with 5 kids. I was talking about how this 1 year old is a genius. Every time I asked her a question, she would answer it with the intellect of Albert Einstein.

Spoiler for Dreams:
Get done with my WBTB and lay down. images are really really really vivid. I know I am going to WILD, so I start going through my goals. I run through them over and over until I realize that I am alone in a white void. Stabilize. This will be easy. I create a quick tunnel and start running through it. I increase my speed to where the walls are all blurry and create a huge open box in the hallway that the only way to get out is to fly. I fly through and land. I keep running through the obstacle course like thing that seems to be making itself now. A dream playplace to practice dream powers. It is in a warehouse that reminds me of the warehouse in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, but soooo much bigger and more rooms rather than open places.
There is a room with large cylinders (going from ceiling to floor flying at you while you run through, I ran through it one time without getting hit. I go through the whole place once, and then I change gravtity and try to go through the whole thing again. I can't quite get through some places, so I start making more platforms and start TKing them around to where I want it. I make it so that they only exist when it is messed up. I keep running and go back to the room with huge cylinders, but with it sideways, it is more like another platform game. I jump from platform to platform. I miscalculated and one of them knocked me off onto another one, when I stood up I got knocked down again. I land on a third and this time I get up fighting. One of them is about to hit me and I slow down the time on it and throw a punch at it (looked too much like a boxing bag to ignore. I hold my punch so that it will charge and I release. It flew about 50 feet across the room. I got out of there and found a huge slide. I definitely didn't make that, looks like it created from the empty spaces I accidentally left. It also put some DCs in here. They are all entering the rooms and going through, going down the slide and also just hanging out. I see a place that looks like platforms from a playplace. They lead up to the ceiling. I go up and see the stars out there. I also see a DC staring at the stars. "How did you get in here?" I ask him.
"I come here most days and nights when I get a chance." He responds. I don't remember much else.
I am eating with my wife. I just got fired from my job and we are eating out. Didn't really need it much, but still disappointed. I get a phone call from "my old boss"
"Hey, we need some workers on this new place that I just built. I need someone with your abilities and thought I would ask you first. Would you be willing to work here for about 20$ an hour?" She says
"What is the job?"
"Just come to (someplace) soon and talk to me about it."
I end up there after running some minor errands. I step inside and she start explaining that it is a playplace for dreamers. OH!!! It is a place that I just created I realize. Must be a dream. RC.
"I can work here." I say when she is done explaining "Mind if I do a quick run through?"
"Go for it! Staff can go through for free and stay here as long as they want. It really has become more of a hang out than anything else."
I go inside and it is... similar, but definitely changed. It is no longer a "fast paced dream control running course" but it is now at least 5 acres X 5 acres X 5 acres. Still has the jungle gym roof top access, but this time the first step is 40 feet up, making it impossible to get there unless you are a LDer. There are about 5 different directions that I can go when I step in. There is a huge slide N (looks like a half pipe that goes about 200 feet up), a hallway E, W, and N (North one is to the East of the slide) and there are steps on the left of the slide that go up (huge steps, 10 feet up 10 feet across). I notice that the dream has made it a little more realistic since last time I was here and has made it a little more dreamlike at the same time. It just makes sense as a place for people to hang out in dream. The previous way was really made for only me. lol.
I go into a hallway and start noticing that there are people everywhere, but the place is big enough that it is almost like a maze. Down the hallway I find a room without a floor. I am tempted to jump down, but I just fly across it until I see two entrances on top of each other. I choose the bottom and land. It starts going upwards (I laugh because I am sure that the top one would go downwards) It makes a quick right and I am at the slide. There are some DCs chilling out with their feet over the edge.
"What do yall usually do here?" I ask.
"This place is the best hang out spot! We usually just go through some obstacles and then we chill out here or at our secret spot."
"Do other people find your secret spots?"
"This place is big enough, and the paths change often enough that we have managed to keep it hidden. We use it as a base when playing the games."
I have a lot of questions, but I already knew the answers to the questions that I had asked. The places on the outermost sides stays the same, and when a change comes to a base, the people that use that as a base are shown the new way to the base. The original slide and the original few entrances always stay the same, but the inside will continue changing every day/week/month depending on which they have chosen. There are about 10 across and 10 up entrances all on top of each other. 100 entrances. It gets harder to get through depending on which level you choose. I choose an easy one on the bottom and am met with an ice level. I burn through it and walk through to the next door. The whole place acts like a Zelda dungeoun with everything resetting when you leave and open the next door. cylinder room, normal way. I run through and throw punches each time one gets close, letting them fly across the room, they all start moving as fast as I have hit them. I use TK and stop all of them from moving probably 70 of them. I enter the next room and there are two entrances, one right and one left. I take the left and am teleported to the beginning. haha, lost forest. Nice touch. I sit with the people on the slide and talk to them again. I forget about what though. Wake up a little later.

I am in a desert. Everything is about 1 mile. Each building. There doesn't appear to be many people who have vehicles, so people walk miles and miles, but it seems to be always day time and no one sleeps. I am hanging with RDC and A. I realize that this is a dream. I think about going outside and doing some goals, but I remember that I am with DC friends, so I chill out with them, we eat and hand out for a while having a good dream time. Some good convos too.
I am in a lab. They are working on ways to genetically make better and better animals. I find some rats and they are in a cage. I catch a mouse before it gets too wild and realize that the cat got loose. I freak out and turn around. There is a friend of mine (Don't know who, but in the dream it was a friend) that grabs acid and pours it on the cat. The cat looks like a normal cat when you look at the fur, but it is more muscular like a lion and about twice the size of a big cat. He then grabs the cat and starts spreading the acid. It doesn't seem to effect humans, but it is spreading like mad. It is black and gets all over both of them and turns really weird. He has the acid all over his face and body and tongue. I step away from the TV (I was not in front of a TV before this) and walk into my bedroom, two of the cats are there waiting for me. I take off running and something glitches. I hear my sister, but it is cut off. She then glitches in front of me wearing a trench coat. It doesn't look like her at all and I ask if it is really her. She glitches and disappears. OH! I get it now I RC and start thinking about a goal. I summon my sister back in front of me. I start thinking... my goal... I am Sensei... I am 23... I am in my bed with my kids sleeping next to me... I look over at the room that I was just in. It is actually where I am sleeping. haha. I need to try this memory awareness thing more often. I am in the dream now... The sounds of my sister keeps coming up... could they actually in my house? hearing is the number one thing that we can access in dreams. I can hear both of my sisters now. It wakes me up to an FA. :/
Betting on tonight.

I need a kick in the a$$: I'm betting for lucid tonight!
personal goals restatement:
incubation: food court at the mall
goal: narrate the dream
I won't claim points for the goal in my LD of last night since it would mean making an exception to the clear rules. I think though that the rules for the next competition should encourage making and meeting goals from an unlimited set of goals, with no limits on repetition. I think achieving our goals is most important: why should we be limited from doing something that we really want to do in dreams? I think repeated achievement of goals in dreams should get points every single time: e.g., first-time achievement of goal: 15 points, repeated achievements: 5 points would be reasonable. Talented dreamers are going to be able to wrack up points no matter what, the real point of the competitions is to push us farther and the achieve our goals. Sensei and Dreamer and everyone have done a great job on this competition, it's a real improvement on earlier ones (which are still great) -- but we can do better!
Current scoring is heavily biased in terms of "doing": I think a whole new component of contemplation, engagement, careful observation (e.g., points for meditating in the dream) should be added.

At this point, I look like in not even going to match my score from last competition :-(

I know the feeling. I did better one year ago when still new to LDing. Need to recapture the beginner's mind, the excitement. Bet on tonight, I am -- the point of the night is TO GET LUCID.

I am running in a crowd and I run into a friend of mine. That was a dreamer that I ran into... why did I think that? No, this is just a memory of the past in a dream. RC. I help him up and notice a car. I jump into it and start it up, I start driving around and find a wall that is about 100 feet high. I start to fly up the wall and wake up.
Betting on tonight as well. I definitely will be able to take a nap today, and I am 100% sure that I had a lucid dream with RDC and A in it (and their kid), but I don't remember it. I shall post it later if I remember.

* Point adjustments: - 6 points (I previouly misscounted 10 points for two lucid chains, where I should have counted 4 points instead, so subtracting here.) +5 pts Won last night bet.
* Dreams.
Amazing night... just amazing, and I am going back home as soon as I upload this (wife ready to check out... under pressure here!!) but it was amazing.

awesome night Percy!
Edit: I'm pretty sure you can only do unspecified dream control task once per dream as well :) That's all!
Edit #2: Also, I just noticed that you are counting your lucid dreams as a full dream. From my understanding, full dreams are meant to be non lucid, so you don't get points for it being both a full dream and a lucid dream.

I suppose my body/mind has decided the competition is already over! Lmao, STILL no lucids, just a couple frags and an NLD last night.. jeez... My Dad just came up for a visit and won't be gone 'til the competition really is over, but I can't let that distract me entirely! I still have the energy and time to dream! Just gotta get my butt back in gear. ~Driim~
I bet I'll be lucid tonight!! (not counting any naps I get before 8pm tonight. My bets always start with the first sleep session after 8pm and end at the next 8pm)

Huzzah!
one of the best nights of dreaming I have had, except no lucids. My confidence was really starting to wane after days of no or spotty recall.
Question: Does a successful non-lucid incubation count for points? I will add my points up with and without it, so whichever way is fine.
Night total
4 dreams= 4 points
2 fragment= 1 point
WBTB= 2 points
Successful Incubation: childhood home "the farm"= 15 pts
night total with incubation= 22
without incubation= 7
running total with incubation= 51
without incubation= 36
Why not, I bet again that I'll get lucid. I can use the motivation. The bet last night helped keep dreaming on my mind, and my dreams were very aware/present, just no inkling of lucidity...story of my recent dreaming life....
^^ KonchogToshi, yes incubation counts even for non-lucid. In fact, it's more focused on non-lucid.

OMG... I wished I knew that :( I wasted a lot of lucid time to make those points :( I would have done something different if I knew.
Oh well, I will make the adjustments later, after my upcoming nap.
Not sure about the full dream vs lucid. You could recall a fragment of a lucid and still get points for fragment and for DILD.
About the unspecified dream control, I will fight you on that one. Is one dream control per dream/stain. Flying and Teleporting both grant points in the same dream. Throwing a blast or becoming invisible are two different dream controls so it is fair they both grant 3 points each. Unspecified is used for "all other type of dream control" but as long as they are different, they do grant 3 points each. (My thoughts)
Okay, time to WILD-Nap...
02-05-2015, 05:19 PM

I think DILD is a bonus on top of the 1 point for the dream, not instead of the one point. Sensei?
Night 12:
Stronger cold symptoms started yesterday...ugh and already in a lull for much of this competition. I knew I was challenging myself trying to go up against this outstanding group of dreamers. I am resolved to the likelihood that I will finish last in the upper league, but I won't stop trying!
Show your teammate a previous dream (10 pts) Pillow fight/Fight with teammate (30 pts)
These can only be claimed once in the competition :santa:
awesome night Percy!
What a bummer :( I wish there was no limitations like these... good way to waste a big chunk of a lucid... oh well, I am the only one to blame for not seeing it on the OP, I need to push it hard... and glad I saw that before the following WILD nap.
I will deduct my hard any 40 points from the grand total... at least I did telekinesis with all the pillows :D

OK, sorry blobular, I said personal tasks, but I meant challenge tasks. :/ I should have been more clear. I made a lot of mistakes with this competition, but I am constantly working to make it better for next time. I am hoping that the next one won't have a single problem or question on points. :P
So to Everyone! Challenge tasks are worth 20 points this week. Not personal tasks.
hmm... I am falling behind. Unforeseen personal stress came upon me and made me not able to sleep for 2 hours of my normal sleeping time. :/ I only got one lucid ok lucid last night that I forgot most of do to being awoke by the kids.
Dreams = 2 points
WBTB = 2 points
bet = 5 points
First DILD = 10 points
Interact with DC = 2 points
fly = 4 points

Total Total = 558 + 29 = 587 points
Spoiler for Dream:
Don't remember much. I was in a cave that reminded me of a video game. There was a bunch of platforms that were all different colors. Reminded me of a cave with different luminescent lighting on each floor. There was a hole in between each place and a walkway inside the whole (like a staircase, but only on the sides. I don't remember my objective, but I knew that it was a dream and I was chasing someone. A DC told me which way he went and to go up. I couldn't get to the very top place without flying, so I flew. I noticed that the guy had started going down, and so I jumped down probably 600 feet. I don't remember anything before or after that (it took me 20 minutes to even get that). lol

The unspecified dream control thing makes sense to me. I wish sensei would comment on the DILD/full dream thing though. I could get quite a few points from that :D

Big night, short lucid (won bet, yay, made up for yesterday's loss), just summaries at this point, will take 1-2 hours to fill in the details:
7 dreams: 7
6 fragments: 3
WBTB: 2
DILD: 10
RC: 1
phased through roof of car (stood up, upper body on the outside): *how to count this?* It's more than "hand" but less than "fully phase through big solid object" (8)? My eyes were open. Count 4 for now: 4
won bet: 5
night total: 32
competition total night #13: 117 + 32 = 149
Betting worked wonders on mustering the will to recall, record, and keep resetting intent throughout the night.
So I bet again on tonight, the last night of the competition!

Short lucid in the shopping center. I tried to summon something out of dc's pocket, but I found nothing in there. I see a woman cop. I begin to fight her and steal her gun. I try to use it, because the guns usually doesn't work. It does work and I blow her arm off. Blood is everywhere. Wake up with not good emotions about that situation.

I didn't have any dreams Wednesday night, since I was up until 5:30am thanks to a terrible group project member who thought it be great to not only submit his stuff hours before it was due, but to plagiarize the whole thing too. But I digress.
I made up for it last night, went to bed at 8pm and woke up at 7:30am. Not really a stellar night, but meh.
4 fragments - 2 pts
DILD - 10 pts
I was at my house, hanging with some friends, when someone said something that made me think it was a dream. I realized how vivid it was, like it felt like real life, so I think I got too excited, which made the dream destabilize and I FAed. Didn't even bother to RC or stabilize the entire time... XP

I am driving... ahah. I am dreaming RC. Right now I am heading towards my work. Wouldn't be bad to head there in dream. I should really get some dream food on the way in case work is a bust and isn't fun at all. I stop at a grocery store (couldn't find a convenience store). I found some candy at the front of the store and started putting it in my pockets (reality check again) I am in my car again... I just got teleported... I close my eyes and teleport back. I notice that all the candy is different from before. I change all of it back to what it was and then I leave (eating candy the whole time, necco, snickers, gummy bears... etc). I can't find my car, but keep looking for it and lose lucidity. The rest of the dream was boring.

So, I am pretty tired now, last night was a crazy night, my trump card, but not sure if I will ever do this again, probably not, it was very draining. I have written every down in one whole DJ entry, and to see clearer the point count, I will past it inside a spoiler tag:
This was an awesome night in terms of pointage, even though I would have chosen other tasks while lucid, and definitely, not to break lucidity so many times, but I had to do what I had to do! This is a list of several WILDs, will put them in one entry so it is best known what is going on, and as a nice memory for my future.
This chain started after about three hours or sleep, I could not recall anything but a couple fragments related to the tournament. I felt the pressure of the last night so I did a WBTB while meditating, focusing and incubating for this.
Note: this are ALL different dreams, and they are NOT a chain of WILDS, as I wrote the dream down between each dream and did a mini-wbtb between each.
Suddenly the vibrations ceased and I found myself with the eyes open and having a blurry vision. I realized I was dreaming, but I still did a reality check to make sure, upon doing it. I took of and decided to fly up to space. There was a big mass of clouds, it was a foggy day and I could feel humidity, but after a few moments, I was out in space, flying at hight speed. I recalled this was the last night and I had to focus, so I stopped flying and I decided to teleport to a beach. As usual, I closed my eyes and visualized a beach, appeared at one with red sand. It was full of people and I saw a very hot DC in topless. I said, "Look, you are hot, but I am on business." I rubbed myself againts here and just moved away. I then grabbed a sandwhich from a bag I saw around, and it tasted like a burger, a very well done burger. I tried telekinesis and lifted a couple of chairs that were around, I kept focusing on more and more chairs levitating with easy success. People was screaming and I think some kid said, "Stop it!!" I thought it was enough and I decided to wake myself up to follow my plan.
I woke up and wrote this dream down, just keywords to not waste time, and layed down to WILD again. I thought I would fail, because it took be a bit longer time to WILD than I thought, but I was able to do it. This was about 5 minutes dream.
2nd Full Dream (+1 pts)
Successiive WILD (+5 pts)
Reality check (+1 pts)
Advance Flying (+10 pts)
Teleport (+7 pts)
Phase through objects (+8 pts)
Super Speed (+4 pts)
Unespecified dream control (+3 pts)
I was back in my bed, wondering if my WILD worked. I could not feel any of my cats nor my wife in bed, so I did a RC and found my hand to be like a hologram. I took of quickly and start to fly. It was night this time and not cloudy at all. Instead of going to space, I just flew at high speed for a while to score well the advance flying. Some time passed and I decided to attempt to teleport while I was flying, so I closed my eyes and visualized to be taken to a random place. I heard a bird so I opened my eyes, while still flying. I was above a huge forest, while apparently, no one appeared to be there. I saw a ton of trees and I imagined I was a ghost and I could phase through them. I never closed my eyes while doing this and even though some trees apparnelty were shaking, I did phase through them without breaking them. I landed and started to run at super speed to score some points with success. I saw a lake and I had a false memory that breathing underwater scored 30 points so I got pretty excited as I jumped inside. I started to breath and while I choked at first, after a few moments I was able to breath. I felt this was enough and I woke myself up again.
I woke up and for a second I felt it was a false awakening, as they are very common for me, but I did a couple of reality checks and I was awake indeed. Took notes for my dream, went pee and went back to bed to perform another WILD. I was excited because there was still a long night to go. This dream lasted about 10 minutes.
I woke up in my old house bed, something extremely uncommon for me. For a second I felt happy because I was back in San Diego and not in Spain, but I did a reality check and saw my hand missing a finger. A bit of a bummer but good to reality I was going to score more points. I exited and as always in San Diego, it was very sunny and it was day, even though I could see stars on the sky and colored objects that I had no idea what they were but did not want to bother. I took once more a flight at high speed above and below the clouds. I also flew right above a huge downtown area (much bigger than San Diego downtown) and I decided to land. I saw a female DC talking on her phone. I demanded her to give me her cell phone. She insulted me and kept talking on her phone. I asked Freddy Krueger for help and he appeared right in front of me. I told the lady, "Your phone or else..." She started complained and gave me her phone. It was an old flip phone... I tried to call a random number and I believe google opened (somehow it was now a galaxy note) but someone in Spanish started to saying something despite I was talking in English. It made me laugh and I felt it was time to wake myself up, it felt a long dream to me.
I woke up and I was still paralyzed. I did not want to do a DEILD because it was beyond my plan, as dream control points award only once per chain. I tried hard to move my legs until after a while, they moved. I wrote my dream down. This one took me 20 minutes, I was hopping for less, but it was okay. I drank some water, and went back to bed.
I woke myself in bed and for a second I though I was still awake, I went to write a dream down but my lamp did not work. I found that to be odd so I checked my hands to find some thick and broken fingers.
My wife told me where was I going. I told her that she was just a dream character and let me mind my business. She said, "Whatever" and went back to bed. I left the house and took of flying. It was super cloudy and foggy (my lucid cryptonite) and I could not make my dream stable. I tried to fly out of them but my flight was pretty lame. Shortly after, I woke up.
This was a dream-loss, not intentional awakening. I worried I screwed my REM somehow, but I needed to push myself to the limits. This dream lasted like two minutes. I did a small wbtb to relax myself and went back to bed to keep WILDing.
I woke up in bed and my dream quality seemed to be high. I left my house and started to flying. It was night and a sky full of stars. I also saw a few moons and some fireballs, it was pretty awesome actually. I felt the dream quality was superior, but I wanted to make sure the dream was stable before flying to space. After a while, I got myself to space and I could see cities in space, outside of planet earth. I wanted to explore one of those cities. One of them, was like a big downtown that covered a huge floating rock. There was a cascade on one of the edges of the rock falling into the nothingness of space. As I flew into this space island, I remembered my personal goals, it felt a good dream for them and since I already had a few short dreams, I decided to work on this one. I imagined that there were pokemon in there.
As I got closer, I saw some cartoonish animals, but they did not look like pokemon, but I didn't care and I landed. I saw what it looked like a Pokemon battle field and I tried to summon Sensei without success. Some random person appeared on the left side of the field and walked right in front of me. I told him to battle me, even though I had no pokemon but he said yes. I could not find a pokeball or anything, but I imagined a Litwick and a Bastiodon coming out for me. Only the litwick appeared:
And he had some weird made up pokemon. I asked my litwick to throw a blast (so much for a pokemon attack) and I saw a little sphere coming out from the flame and exploding into the other pokemon. A few moments later, the guy in front of me and his weird pokemon was gone, and some sign said I won... lol.
I thought this was good enough and woke myself up.
Despite not being a long dream, I might have wasted a lot of time or forgot to recall a possible non lucid part, because almost 40 minutes passed when I woke up. I wrote the dream down and did about a 10 minutes wbtb while repeating some mantras to keep doing well. My excitement was very high, it was about 5am at this time so I could score big.
This wild happened almost immediately, to a point that I really believed I failed it. However, I tried to jump and fly (yes, I was still in my room.) And to my positive surprise, I lifted and I was able to fly through the roof with my eyes open, which was pretty cool, as I thought I would just smash it as usual. I flyed at high speed and went all the way up to space. I wanted to do some space flying and I kept flying through for a while until I saw a wormhole. I flew though it and everything went very dark, and then I woke up of the sudden.
I was feeling the pressure of the competition and most likely the reason I woke up prematurely. I wrote the dream down and drank some water, then went back to bed. This dream was about 5 minutes long.
I had two false awakenings where I attempted to WILD, without realizing it was a dream until the third one, where I realized my bed was much more smaller than what it is in reality, turning me lucid. Dream quality was low, so I just started to fly as I left my home. It was night and it was super dark, there were no stars. I tried to fly to the moon again, but I would only see darkness, until eventually, I saw space and some stars. I then visualized myself teleporting back to my room. I did not teleport to my actual room, but to a different random bedroom and I believe that despite it was very dark, in the inside I saw sun coming out from the window. Decided to wake myself up.
This was a super bad quality dream, but I was lucid as I kept thinking of at least scoring two dream control for points. I took a couple notes and after about 5 minutes, went back to WILD.
I was at some hotel, already lucid. There were some nice dream characters serving food like if I was in bahamas. They offered me a small sample of coconut something I cannot recall. I tasted it and it was warm, but tasted like coconuts. I asked one of the DC if they had a pandora box, but they said they didn't know what food that was. I decided to just take a small flight around and wake myself up. I did fly up around the clouds at a normal speed and woke myself up.
I quickly woke up, even though I had a couple false awakenings and almost forgot this dream. I took notes and went back to bed.
This wild worked instantly, as I had a false awakening almost right away and it was very bright outside. I knew it could not be day yet and upon doing a RC, I realized I was dreaming. I jumped off the bed and took of to fly. I decided to fly at high speed above town. It was chilly but it felt nice. I was hapy though because it was an awesome night for me. But felt I was getting tired. After flying a while, I woke myself up for the next one.
No false awakenings after this dream. I took notes from the flight and noted about 3 minutes passed for this one. I was very relaxed so I just focusd in WILDing again.
I felt myself floating and I felt it could have turned into an Astral Projection, but I focused in just getting into a dream. I was in the middle of the air so I just focused in flying at high speed while the dream lasted. It was not a long time that I started to see the dream very blurry and I allowed myself to wake up.
I woke up to a short non lucid dream were I was accounting my points and saw that anotherdreamer had like 5,000 points that he did in one night. I found that insane. As I was trying to get how was that possible, I woke up for real.
I went to my computer to see how things were and how many points anotherdreamer had scored, but there was no updates from him so I went back to bed to WILD.
My alarm clock rang and my wife was already out of bed. I knew I was dreaming because it was Saturday and the alarm clock wasn't set. I checked my hands to make sure I was dreaming and indeed I was. I took of flying, but oddly enough, I had a hard time to fly. I imagined myself teleporting to a high building in order to jump off from it. I closed my eyes and jumped hard, and upon opening my eyes, I was on the top of a huge building, I believe it was the Trump Tower in Chicago. i jumped off and started to fly at a gentle speed. It was night and it felt good. I decided to wake myself up.
I took notes from this dream and had to go pee again, then got back to bed to WILD again.
After a while, I opened my dream eyes and I my vision was pretty bad, which it allowed me to know I was dreaming. I started to fly (I am unsure where I was, as it was super blurry) and I started to fly. As I was flying at high speed, I could see an image forming in front of my eyes, I had sound and feeling, but I was almost blind. I was seeing space and a ton of tiny planets. I was bigger than the planets and it was a weird experience. I could not control my dream very well so I woke up.
I was pretty tired of this already, but I told myself that AnotherDreamer was probably busting his butt and I knew Sensei also had a trump card waiting for his last night, so I had to push it a little more. 13th
Full Dream (+1 pts)
Successive WILD (+5 pts)
Use electronics (+4 pts)
Phasing (+8 pts)
Basic Flying (+4 pts)
I had a false awakening in a car, i believe it was a huge car because I was laying down. Based on what I could see, we were around Texas and there was a cell phone next to me. Not my cell phone, but still, I grabbed it and tried to turn it on. It made a lot of wierd noises and it started to vibrate super hard. I kind of freaked out for some reason and just decided to phase off the car and started to fly, which I successfully did. After flying for a little while, I woke myself up.
I woke up to write my dreams down and I felt it was good enough to keep breaking dreams. I felt myself tired, so I wilded one last time.
I had a false awakening at home and just exited the house. Some strange party was going on, but I kind of ignored it and just started to fly through space. It was a nice feeling and I landed in some weird planet, that had like cream instead of water and the ground was like very shaky. I kind of allowed me to be absorved by the dream, and I barely recall what happened next.
I slept for about 90 minutes more and then finally woke up. I recall some fragments, but did not write them down and can't remember, so not counting points.

I'm really really happy with this competition. I managed to get lucid twice in two weeks and by my standards that's awesome.
In just two weeks I went from virtually no recall to 2 or 3 full dreams recalled each night.
Motivation does have a huge role.
Thanks for running this Sensei.
You guys having several lucids every night are just incredible.
Love you all.
I can't tell if it was a lucid, plus I forgot that dream lol
Nothing.
Lol I was in a bad mood for LDing. Oh well, at least I'll take a break, go easy.
I think night 14 passed for me.
Total score: 3(I think)

I just have 6 dreams to add, so yeah, my total is 40,5 points. Dang was that absolutely horrifyingly awful. Looks like my dry-spell is not over yet... But it will be over soon either way, it's just a question of time. Once it is over I'll make sure to never have a dry-spell like that again.

I remember a year ago when I would wish for a LD. A single one a month would have been great in my mind back then. Look at me now, I can easily get a lucid with at least 2 extra chain if I try a couple nights (lol forget about these 2 weeks though I was quite busy). Wow, LDing isn't hard, it just takes time.
Just a shout out to you fellow LDs who struggle. It's normal, just train. Trust me, I became good without knowing it lol practice led me to it.
Thank you sensei for these competitions! They really helped me getting better at LDing, and they still do!

Still hung over from 2,5 years of doing nothing else than working. But it's getting better, even if I can't yet remember as much as I want to, and even if the progress is slower than I like, it's getting better. Next competition I won't be going with a lousy 40 points, that's what I'm betting on!

Hey, not been able to spend time on the computer.
Still trying to get some time to type up my last dj. :/
Thanks for joining the competition. Thank everyone on the DG team for setting this up. They are awesome! Especially dreamer. She helped with the most (prolly more than me). :P

Somehow I got confused with the dates and competition day numbers (I DJ using an app called Lucidity that likes to label the DJ entries with they day *after* the night, but I prefer the day *before* the night) and missed out my DJ for night 10. I didn't realise this mistake until I got to the last couple of days and couldn't make the numbers add up!
So, I've added that and re-numbered the DJ entries that were 10-12 to 11-13, added in the rest of my DJ entries, and re-calculated my total.
Also, I didn't count the points for my "best feeling in a Lucid Dream" points. My first week only had one LD and it was a bit pants, so I'm adding the minimum of 2 points for that.
So, to clarify, here are the 14 nights with their DJ entries which I've edited to have the right dates etc. on them.
*** extra night I missed out!***
Night 10: Mon 2nd feb - http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/samm...g-hotel-64191/
* 1 dream (1)
= 1 (I may also have done a WBTB but I didn't make a note of it and I can't remember that far back, now)
EVERYONE!!!
I shall be posting the final scores tomorrow. I doubt I will find many problems with yall scores as I do it, so if you look at the people in your league, you should be able to see who won etc. Depending on how the scoring goes.
I am near my work. stabilize. I forget my goals because of a DC friend of mine. I talk to him a little about messing with DCs. I see some coming and tell him to leave for a bit. I sit down in the grass and it I create a chair inside of the grass so I can't be seen. I look through the ground at the DCs and start making noises pop up around them and they start to freak out. They run off and I find it hilarious. I notice a building near my work that I see every day and scan the inside. It is a place that is pitch black and everything in it hurts you. I notice that there is a person in it that I know from work. I teleport inside and close to my friend. The friend is completely covered in cuts and bruises. I reach for her and my arm gets slit open. I burn it closed and use a quick burst of energy to protect myself. When I reach out to her this time, the blade just stops when it gets to my skin and bounces off. I bring her in for a hug. I can "feel" friendship (has happened before in a dream) and I heal her of all of her injuries. The feeling goes away and I am teleported into my own bed with my wife. I wake up after a few things there.
halfway through the transition state I realize that I am in a deserted wasteland and it must be a dream. stabilize.I pick up the controller and I start playing. It is a pretty strange game seemingly without a point. There a couple "NPCs" about that I decide to talk to. I am in a house and it is set up pretty normal for a pokemon type game.
"You have to catch him and get him to catch something." everyone tells me. This is a dumb game.
I pull up a mini map and the first page is a map like a zelda map on the first page.
Map: http://vgmaps.com/NewsArchives/April...e-Koholint.png
I change over the page and it is also similar to a different zelda menu screen. http://splodinator.com/wp-content/up...Zelda-Menu.jpg
I click the compass (don't ask me how to use a map or click... I really couldn't explain it in words) and equip it. I am getting ready to use it and an alien pops out behind a counter and then pops back in. I open all the cabinets and find nothing. He seems to have completely disappeared. I look at the compass and it is leading me outside. I go outside and he pops out behind a tree. I quickly TK something and toss it at him and he scampers off. I got a better look at him this time and I know more where I am. It seems to be closer to peasent's quest than any other video game, and this is the last quest I was able to complete on it, but naked ned seems to be an alien this time. http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb...x-nakedned.png
He is still skin toned, but he has a more reptilian shape and build even though he stands on two feet. Reminds me of: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/...11&format=webp
I use the compass again, knowing that he teleports to random parts of the map. I summon an apple in my hand and keep it with me. I find him behind a cottage (yep, peasant's quest) and I throw it at him as fast as I can. He runs away again and I wake up. (there was more to this, but I forget :/)
I am in a small small town and it is night time. There are many secrets here and I am trying to get to the bottom of it. I have a "slow down and pay attention" moment and I realize that none of it makes sense, must be a dream, RC. Instead of thinking of my goals, I think "What kind of secrets do DCs have? This should be fun." I walk into a house and there are a couple kids there (13 at most) and I ask them what they are hiding. The boy looks confused, but the girl tries to avoid eye contact, I realize that they aren't the ones hiding it.
I get closer to her and ask her sincerely "What are the adults hiding?"
"People keep going missing and they think that we don't notice. It is in a shed a couple houses down. I do a quick scan and figure out where I am going. I thank them and walk away. The place is a ghost town. I notice a huge barn (not a shed) that has a wooden staircase up (like in smallville). I walk up and there are 4 men there in a circle. In the middle is an alien (just like last dream! I think, but don't say, don't wanna make the DCs angry). It is similar to the last one, but its snout is way bigger, and the top of its head spins around from the jaw up (think of the whole top turning in order to bits instead of going up and down). I watch as it somehow chops a DC in half. I realize that I will be alone soon if I don't step in. I yell out at it and he jumps at me. Its mouth gets almost all the way around my hand before I put my thought into it and make it invulnerable. It looks at me confused because it prolly thought that it was gonna take my hand. It jumps again, but this time I throw a burst of energy at it as it is jumping at me. It flies against the wall and the other DCs stare at me. They ask me what I did and I tell them that I just punched it, but they don't believe me. (forgot the rest)
These dreams were pretty long since they were either WILDs or very beginning of dream cycle DILD. I forgot a big portion of them. :/ super fun dreams though. I love aliens and monsters in my dreams.

Always fun to take part in, thanks Sensei and Dreamer and everyone else who put this together. I really appreciate you guys doing these comps, they are truly fun and they really make you push yourself. I'm sure you guys know that you've helped people reach new heights and goals that they didn't before. I had a fun time and I hope everyone else did too! Congrats Montagues on the win!

Hey Sensei! When is the next competition going to be? I'm really interested in joining again. ^^ I used to do it when Matte87 put it on, and now I'm interested in doing it again, haha.

man... I need to put on another competition. Gimme a week or two to set this up. I'll throw up a sign up thread in the morning for it.
