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.
