Sensei's Super Competition of Absolute Awesomeness!

I am changing my incubation to a Victoria's Secret model.

I am changing my incubation to a shoot em up game, meant to post earlier. Going to bed now.

Night 4
Tried WILDing last night. Didn't work, but I think I'm getting close...

1 fragment - .5 pts
3 dreams - 3 pts
(Failed) WBTB - 2 pts

Night total: 5.5 pts
Competition total: 25.5 pts

Also, I think I'm going to change my incubation task to meeting Newt and Hermann from Pacific Rim, because science :D

Haha, I should know that during a competition is not a great time to try to revolutionize my night work. Just one dream, a bit under slept.

night total: 1

competition total: 1 + 65.5 = 66.5

DJ: ducks and dildos

Could you sensei or anyone update the scoring points in the OP for better clarity?

Ok, fair to say I actually turned up to the competition last night! This my best LD of the year so far in terms of remembering goals, and a real vindication for my current LD practice. A shout out to Frying Man for his Year of Breath thread and his discussions there with Memm!

Spoiler for The Lucid Dream:

I'm at home with Mum and J. I cut one of them off mid-sentence to say, this is a dream! (10 for lucid +2 for wbtb) "Shut up, shut up," I say to them, like Peter Capaldi in Doctor Who. I have to remember my task... I want to go to Twin Peaks! There is a massive mirror in my living room (an actual WL feature - your reflection goes a bit "hall of mirrors" at the edges, great for making you reality check), I turn my back to it and say "Twin Peaks", then turn and look. I think maybe I can see a scene interposed beyond the reflection of the room. I take a running jump and dive at it, like a swimmer... and hit hard resistance. I bounce back. And try again. I go clean through. But I'm stood by the side of a random highway (Teleport = 7p), hardly what I had in mind. I turn away from the road and see a row of victorian terrace houses. I enter the nearest one and I'm back in my house. My Mum says she's made coffee for everyone, so I think I'll try some to check of the eat something task. It's lovely and warm and tastes like really nice filter coffee (Eat something = 4p). "Damn fine coffee!" I say, like special agent Dale Cooper from the show. My mum disagrees with me, saying it tastes like gross instant coffee (Interact with DC = 2). I go back into the living room and this time reality check and stabilise some (1p). I take another running jump and dive, but this time I'm in the void, and I can tell I've woken myself up. I hold tight, feeling residual REM atonia, and try to flash some images from the show, but end up transitioning back into my living room (dream chaining = 2p). I try a different tac, taking the TV remote and trying to navigate through the menus to Twin Peaks (Interact with electronics = 2). But I only succeed in scrolling through picture and sound options and fucking up the display. In frustration I try once again with the mirror and wake up for good.

Previous total = 3.5
+0.5 for fragment = 4
+2 for 2 dreams = 6
+2 for WBTB = 8
+10 for DILD = 18
+7 for teleport = 25
+4 for eating something = 29
+2 for interacting with a DC = 31
+1 for stabilising = 32
+2 for dream chaining = 34
+4 for interacting with electronics = 38
+5 for 1st 3 step task = 43
+10 for 2nd step task = 53
+15 for 3rd step task = 68
New Total=68p

Score update:

WBTB: 2 pts.
1 dream: 1 pt.
Night total: 3pts.

Running total: 15.5 pts.

The previous night I had no recall. Tonight one fragment (0.5pts). Total: 5.5 points

Problem: I am addicted to the TV series Heroes lately and I watch it too much, go to bed late, and that's interfering with my recall. Yikes. Addictive personality. I don't do drugs though unlike the Beatles who did lots of those. Go Beatles

Betting is exactly 5 per night (no more, no less), as clarified in the updated OP.

edit: well it's a bit unclear still since the initial wording is you can "get up to 5 points," but the subsequent wording says you gain or lose 5 points based on the result. But you can't bet more than 5.

Life's been too busy lately to get any real sleep, so I expect this trend to continue to at least until Sunday...

1 Fragment - 0.5 pts

Competition Total - 54 pts

Night 5:

5 dreams = 5 points
1 fragment = 0.5 points
WBTB fail = 2 points

Total = 7.5 points

Night #5:
2 Fragments: 1point
3 Dreams: 3 Points
WBTB: 2 Points

Recall is building up again! In a few days I'll be back up too loads of dreams recalled! Also got close to a lucid again. Competition really does bring out the best in me:D Thanks again Sensei (and helpers!). I'm definately having fun so far!

New Total: 38,5 points

Spoiler for Incubation:

I am with my wife as a companion with Dr. Who (Tennant). He takes us to a normal world where we all get a night's sleep, but a guy attacks the Doctor and the Doctor uses a device to teleport us all into the TARDIS. I ask him if we are going to fix the world, but he says that their problem is with him and they will be fine without him there. He takes us to another world and as soon as we are there he sits us down.
"This world is run in simulations, we can only change the world in here." He says and puts a controller in my hand and a visor over my eyes. A game starts and I am trying to talk to people, but everyone has guns, and there is a safe zone for talking and a not safe zone for playing. No one will talk to me unless I prove myself in game. I go through an entire game and don't die. They all seem to have a lot of respect for me after that. The Doctor comes in and starts questioning people and I wake up.

New Incubation:
Phoenix

Bet 5 on tonight.

Night 5:

Night 5

Was busy yesterday & today, didn't get much sleep. Recall suffered ;-;

1 fragment - 0.5 pt

Night total: 0.5 pt
Competition total: 26 pts

Was a weird dream though. Something about space and Samantha Carter finding the function for width and "setting columns a, 2b, 10 and 12 to 0 (but not column 14)." And apparently there was a function that made you loyal...

It seems like math is haunting my dreams .-. (Getting close to science though maybe... science is cool.)

Okay, so here comes the stats for the day for me, and after this post... bed time. I had the busiest day today... no time for my nap-wild and not even time to meditate. Had a lot of stuff to do in the morning and the amount of work I had in queue took all my afternoon and evening, but it was an okay night, nothing amazing but at least some points added.

http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/perc...-my-car-63905/
Full Dream 1 pts

http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/perc...coaster-63907/
Full Dream 1 pts
WBTB 2 pts
First DILD 10 pts
Incubation 15 pts
Stabilization 1 pts
Interact with a DC 2 pts
Basic flying 4 pts
Using electronics 4 pts

Sadly, I forgot to post my bet, so too bad... no bet points added, but for the record. I bet I will LD tonight

Full dream remembered Most Stupid Way Ever I Missed Becoming Lucid! :doh:

I was dreaming someone was trying to teach me how to fly when lucid. The dream was so real, I could feel the wind blowing in my face and this person would hold my hand and take me higher and higher in the sky. How can something you desire be so plainly in your face that you just don't get it? How could I not become lucid during this??? I even remember saying the word 'LUCID' and still didn't get lucid! How can that be??? :cry:

For some reason, the dream started with me continuously falling back to the ground every time I took flight, so this person (don't know who she was) was flying like a bird in the sky and came down and took me by the hand and said she was going to show me how to fly...it was absolutely beautiful :).

I WILL BE LUCID TONIGHT!

Dream remembered: 1 point

I love lucid dreaming.

I love you, because you are lucid dreamers, and we help each other!

I try to do my best. Last couple of days I'm having often-ly lucid dreams and it manifest in my waking lucid living. I feels so good and different!

Soo let's do another bet on tonight!

New personal task: Use an ancient weapon.
