*sigh* And here I thought tonight would be a good night for me. I gotta get some lucids here, it's driving me crazy.

4 Fragments - 2 pts
WBTB - 2 pts

Night total - 4 pts
Competition Total - 23.5 pts

That nap was just what I needed, not only for rest reasons, but because I just doubled my points for the competition.

WILD: 10 pts
Flying + 1st step: 4 pts + 5 pts
Unspecified Dream Control (shrinking): 3 pts
Basic Summoning: 4 pts

DJ entry

While one fragment is better than nothing, that's all I can say that is positive about that. (0.5pts)
Total: 5.0

"Baby you can drive my car. Yes, I'm gonna be a star." Go Beatles.

3 Dreams + WBTB = 5

But disregard that because I'm betting on lucidity tonight!

Night 3: 7 fragments - 3.5 pts
Total: 11+3.5=14.5

Well, definitely not my best night. It started out pretty well, with a couple fragments within just an hour, to be followed by nothing at all until around 7pm (A WBTB done at 4am with no success at all) I was thinking that this night was going to deduct me points instead of earning (I did bet last night 5 pts for a lucid) But a WILD saved the day (well, better said, the night) Not an awesome read, not a long and pro dream, but gives points

http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/perc...hedding-63828/
http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/perc...hing-me-63829/
Two dream fragments (1 pts)

http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/perc...y-lucid-63830/
Full Dream Recall (1 pts)
WILD (10 pts)
Stabilize (1 pts)
Basic Telekinesis (4 pts)
Basic flying (4 pts)
Basic summoning (he did not appear in front of me) + Fictional Character (9 pts)
DC Interaction (2 pts)
Eat something (4 pts)

Lucid Bet (5 pts )

And that is all for this one.

Now, it is time for me to meditate and then I will try to WILD

I wonder if this WILD counts as a new one, since it is during the day, or it counts as a second WILD, since I did one last night.

I was thinking about this, too. I think it should be one WILD per 24hrs.

My night was terrible.. Already added previous sleep session and my WBTB. I couldn't get back to sleep after my WBTB for a long time and my second sleep session only yielded a single fragment... Ugh. And I lost my bet! Unless I can take a nap today and get it then.. I guess I won't subtract the points until later.
Fragment - .5

New Total: 57.5

Percy, I told you in chat, but I should post it here as well. The first for night resets at 8 PM. Should have made a rule about that sooner.

I had a killer night.

WBTB = 2 points

DILD = 10 points
RC/Stabilize = 1 point
Interact with DC = 2 points
Change gravity = 6 points
Flying = 4 points

Personal task = 15 points
Bet = 5 points

Total for night = 102 points
Total for competition = 95 +102 = 197 points

Almost got my incubation task too! I am trying to see my nephew (My nephew was born yesterday!) I saw my sister (the one that just had the baby) holding my son. AH! Pretty close.

Spoiler for lucid dreams:

I am in my city... I see something strange... Lines and lines of black people going into the city. I RC. I walk up to one about my age.
"What is going on?" I ask.
"Black Appreciation day." He says "The government is throwing all of us a big party, we all have to be there."
That isn't good. There is no such thing, and the government making someone do anything is bad.
"Don't try to explain, he won't understand. Most of the people in Zödra won't understand." I look to see that Jason is talking. My dad is standing next to him as well as my sister (gonna call her J for this, not the sister that just had a baby).
I think that I accidentally incubated all of these here because they are the advanced dream characters that I had on my mind all day after reading that thread.
"This is gonna be a slaughter..." I say. They nod in agreement.
"We need the dreamer there to help stop it." My dad said.
"I am not as strong as you all anyways."
"We need you there." he says.
They all take off flying and I follow them. As we get close to a huge building that doesn't exist near my city, they all land on the wall of the building and start walking up it. I dunno how they did it, but I change gravity for myself and connect myself to the wall and walk up it. There is a huge glass ceiling that we start walking around. Don't want them to see us.
"Should we go in here?" I ask Jason.
"No. We need to go to the top."
We keep going past the glass ceiling and phase through the top part.
I end up in a different room than everyone else. I notice that there is a bad guy. He looks like a good fighter. I don't want to waste an opportunity nad kill him with dream control. I look at my arm and change my arm so that it doesn't exist. I start fighting him. He runs at me and I grab an arm of his and spin his body. I then grab his throat and pull it towards me. As soon as it gets to me steps around my leg and pushes hard, making me hit the ground. He jumps on top and Jason kicks him off.
"haha, you need some practice before trying that." He says "you could fight him all day and not get any better without training. Watch and use this next time."
"But you have both arms." I say.
"Just watch." he says.
The enemy gets up and Jason and pulls out a knife. Jason side steps and grabs him by the throat.
"They won't resist as long as there is pressure here, you stopped putting pressure last time." He keeps pushing backwards and the guy is bent over walking backwards "If he can't get his balance for a second, then you have him." He runs him into a counter and it knocks the guy on the ground. Jason lets him get back up and is laughing.
He waits for Jason to attack and Jason steps forward and throws a quick punch at the enemy. The enemy sidesteps and jumps at Jason with the knife. Jason moves the same arm that he threw the punch with and puts him in a quick headlock.
"Same basic principal, keep him off balance." he keeps pulling him further and further back while the enemy can't get his footing. Jason throws him over a ledge I think that he might have made a second earlier.
"We don't have much time." he says.
We go through the door into a big chamber. J and Dad already beat everyone there. I look at the computer that has the order to execute all the people that have all gathered. There is nothing that we can do here. How did these people get in this much trouble in the first place? My Dad is supposed to be in charge of Zödra. I see a machine that looks like a time machine. I look at the settings and notice that the people had gone back in time and changed how Zödra worked. I click a few of the buttons and reverse previous time changes. The world around me starts changing. I walk outside and still see the lines of people. I go back and click some more buttons. I put my dream energy into fixing it since the computer seems to have broken down. All the lines of people switch to all types of people. That means that there still might be a slaughter, but it won't be genocide. I know now that I have to get to the party and actually use more dream powers to stop it. I wake up.

New personal task = Fight Fryingman in a dream.
I am betting on tonight as well.

Hey Sensei or anyone...I entered the void twice during a lengthy lucid period. Would you count more than one LD or chaining or just call it one LD? (Figuring out my points now).

I generally leave the scoring as a personal thing as much as possible. It kind of depends on your thoughts. Do you think of the void as a waking then chain. If you think of it as just part of the dream, then it is just part of the dream.

^^Thank you Sensei I was also looking over the rules after writing that question and it does say awakening. It might have been a period of NREM but I never felt myself back in bed so just going to count it as one longish LD. I posted my DJ in my DJ section earlier but just now getting back to add up the points.

Finally LD points! I was concerned at WBTB since I was way groggy after setting an alarm again after waking too early naturally.

Comment if you wish at link above or quick view here:

Spoiler for Lucid Dream:

~610am Wake from longish LD string. Work meeting scene. The board member shouldn't need to take video. CW there. I have a headache (bleeding through from IWL?) and massage my temples. Next memory is FA caught by "record skipping" FA. I am arriving to the wake up sensation at least 3 times in quick succession each lasting about the amount of time it takes for a vinyl record to rotate once...and repeating like a skipping record! I get up out of bed happy to have received this gift in this FA. As I make my way through the house with visuals not perfect I get the partial visual of my sleep mask covering my face as I walk, and I rip it off and throw it behind me. As I get to the front door I see there is a note on an index card by the door. I pause for a moment thinking if I'm awake I don't want to open the store and leave it open or unlocked putting my family security at risk so I better RC. I start to do the finger through palm and as it shows I'm awake I realize how inconsistent that one is and just look at both my hands but focus on my left one where one of my middle two fingers was noticeably longer than IWL . I grabbed the note by the door and start to read it but then look down what looks like an apartment building hall and the note is narrated to me in what is supposed to be my wife's voice saying "today is the day to bring out the garbage."(which it is!) I float fly through multiple halls and it is completely barren so far. I quickly peek over an overlook down to the floor below me hoping to catch a DC down there but it is also barren. I fly down to the lower floor and explore a little bit finding what looks like a door to the outside and when I open it it is a bright sunny summer day. I look across a big grassy open park-like area and see a building on the other side of it with lots of DC's gathered inside but starting to come out. I dump off all my clothes feeling free and fly their way thinking about what kind of reactions I might get. I approach a couple of young women and start to interact with them telling them it's time to remove their dresses but I seem to be too much inside my head thinking about something and the visuals fade but I do not fear waking up but rather hang on for the visuals to come back. (Something I am getting better and better at and following Sageous' suggestion to avoid following the more common path back to your sleeping body-NREM thread, possibly NREM reality check thread). During this quiet time in a void I reflect on the fact that I didn't get to any competition goals. The visuals eventually come back and I soon have a vivid sunny summertime scene again but this time it seems like I'm at of family reunion. I'm looking around at all of the DC's enjoying this vivid beautiful world and I look over to my right and see my grandmother who passed away several years ago sitting down and I go to greet her. It is so wonderful to see you I tell her as we each clasped the others hands facing each other. It's so feels like her hands warm and wrinkly! (I am choking up while reliving this lucid moment while transcribing this dream!) I asked her to hold on a moment and I release her hands since I use a certain motion of my hands as part of my recall of goals. I think of my mnemonic (memory) pegs and peg number 1 brings me to time control, stopping time. I know my trusty pocket watch with amazing time control is in my right hand and I start clicking it while looking around. At first it is not doing anything very much like the very first time I used this. I eventually get the DC's to freeze in time!..and they unfreeze as I release the "clicker." I play around with it a little bit more and then think about peg number 2 and decide to skip it and go to peg number 3. Neither 2 nor 3 are part of my 3 step task anyway only peg 1 then peg 6 and 8. I grabbed a football that is being thrown around and say check this out. I punt the ball with super strength way up into the sky and out of sight! Cool! I look back over at my grandmother and just behind her and to the right is my grandfather who passed away quite a number of years ago and who I thought about last time I thought about my grandmother and how I haven't been seeing him in my dreams. This time he is there!..but he starts morphing a little bit maybe looking more like his younger self when he was a teenager and then a boy! I grasp my grandmother's hands again realizing I should have spent more time in the dream with her asking her questions I'm saying what kind of responses I might get. The dream starts to fade. I hold on again and I arrive outside of a room indoors it's a little bit dark, dimly lit. There is a young black boy in the room and I walk in there and ask him what does he represent? He only says there's someone over here and I follow him around and out of the room and sitting on the bench is a short humanoid creature that looks like a weird boy, a little bit stocky with a large-ish head with dark short thick hair and black eyes. I asked him what it represents and try not to get freaked out by his unusual appearance and I realize I can wake up if I want to but I don't remember making the decision to. Either way I wake up for good this time. I think reading a couple of dream journals of other competition participants may have helped me recognize the false awakening at the beginning. One person, I forget who, was talking about some kind of incongruity being a common dream sign as a dream tries to adjust and readjust to fit the situation. Also maybe the same person or someone else mentioned how they handled a false awakening by quickly getting up and doing an RC when normally I would try to do a motionless RC but maybe I need to be more aggressive like I was when I noticed my FA and immediately took off.

Well, I didn't get to take a nap and it's 7:49pm, so I lose my bet and 5 points.
Lost Bet: -5
New Total: 52.5

I gotta get my groove on again dangit! I guess I've got stage fright.. lol
I was thinking about that today and I realized I've been putting too much mental pressure on myself when I go to bed. It has started to mess with my ability to relax and fall asleep, much less WILD. I just need to let go, and I'll be able to sink down into lucid land again~

Night #3

3 full NLDs: 3 points
2 frags: 1 point
New total: 22 points

http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/oneu...-things-63840/

Almost got lucid a few times last night guys, I know I'll become lucid tonight!

Night 3
Well, I say night... I pulled an allnighter and went to sleep at 10 am. Yikes. Surprisingly, my recall wasn't that bad. Missed an FA, though...

2 fragments - 1 pt
2 dreams - 2 pts

Night total: 3 pts
Competition total: 20 pts

Well, lucid, finally. Was really bummed before bed that I haven't gotten lucid in 15 days with all my strong intention and day work, constant WBTB, etc. Add to that another WBTB insomnia occurrence tonight and it was shaping up to be a crappy night, except that right before WBTB I had an epic multi-scene non-lucid, with bizarre elements, although with a mundane base plot (gassing up the truck! )

after WBTB and up for 2nd/3rd time after not getting drowsy in bed, got sleepy again at the computer (interesting that using the computer makes me sleepy more than just sitting in a dark room) and started yawning and headed BTB. Drifting near sleep for quite a long time, not dreaming. FINALLY fell asleep and dreamed.

DJ: http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/fryi...dresser-63844/

2 dreams: 2

WBTB: 2

new incubation: food court at the mall

edit: I'll need a couple more good-scoring LDs before I'll start betting. Wait a few nights, we'll see, maybe I'll work up the courage to risk some hard-earned points .

Welp, shoulda bet on tonight. Bad recall and didn't get much of anything done, but got lucid! Lol. I'm doing a WBTB right now because Curtis woke me up getting ready for work as usual. Here's my dream:
