Thread: Sensei's Sexy Competition

Thanks to Sensei and dreamer for hosting this competition. I had 5 LD's in it on 5 seperate days after being on a 2 and ahalf week dry spell.

Was a bit busy the last days so I will sum my results up here.

Day 12, 13 and 14:

Remembered 8 dreams: 8 points

3 WBTB's: 6 point

DILD: 10 points

Day 12,13 and 14 total: 24

Comp total: 140 points

I am very thankful for this competition as it got me back into lucid dreaming. With my pretty high rate of lucids now I can start to work on stability and control which is where the true fun begins!

Next time I need to hit that 200 points...

Night 12:

WBTB fail = 2 points
1 fragment = 0.5 points

A really big thanks for organizing this awesome event. I am very happy that I could participate! I made some huge progress. I never thought I could have so many Ld in such a short amount of time while having a lot of fun with you people! Nice to know some of you a little better! Hope to stay in contact and maby see you in some dares or totms again

Hmmm... not getting the sleep I need lately. Allergies are getting the best of me, not keeping me up, but making me not want to go to bed.

A few nights ago
2 dreams and wbtb = 4 points

a couple nights ago
1 dream = 1 point
Wbtb = 2 points
2 dilds = 15 points
total = 18 points

Rc = 1 point
Interact with DC = 2 POINTS
invulnerable = 5 points
Super strength = 5 points
Super speed = 5 points

realize I am dreaming. heading towards a forest. Apparently something very important in the forest. As I got closer, I have to fight people, but my powers are fading. I keep getting hit, and I can feel the invulnerability wearing off as I get closer. I use my strength to knock multiple enemies back, but as I get closer (super speed), I am slowing down and my hits are less effective. awake.
total = 18 points

Interact with DC = 2 points
Invulnerable = 5 points
I realize I am dreaming. I think that the forest has been behind me and it is. I head that way and the only thing left is my invulnerability. Some knives prove it. After fighting for a while, it is completely gone and I am almost at the forest. awake.
total = 7

Last night I had
3 non lucids = 3 points
wbtb = 2 points
1 DILD = 10 points
3rd of 3 step task = 15 points
old personal (Zodra) = 10 points
total = 30 points

adv flying = 10 points
fully phase through object = 10 points
tk = 5 points
fire = 10 points
electronic device = 5 points
total = 40

Spoiler for dream:

So... I found out in this dream that the forest I was going for the previous dreams is actually in Zodra. I was looking at it in the distance and it reminded me of the world where the Ylasamiri are from, which is funny because of what the Ylasamiri do.


I was looking across a huge valley and Jason walked next to me. He pointed at an airplane.
"We need to get there. It can't happen with normal dream control."
We jump in the air and board plane a minute later when we catch up by phasing through the side. It is a pretty big plane, but there is only one compartment, the walls are black and there are computers and all sorts of strange things around.
"I need to teach you a new form of dream control, normal control doesn't work, you have to use perception, like this." he takes his hand and closes one eye. as he lifts his hand a table on the other side of the room lifts.
"It has to make sense with what you are seeing."
I lift my hand and close one eye. I make it look like a computer on the other side of the cabin is sitting in my hand. I then lift up my hand and the computer lifts with it. I set it down back where it was before.
"There is no limit like with normal dream control, but it is a little different." he says "try it with something that makes sense to you."
I don't believe him and I try to shoot fire across the room. Nothing happens. I then grab a match and grab the fire and shoot it across the room (using my hand and finger movements. :/ Kind of a strange way for control to work. I'll work with it. I see a glint across the room at a popcorn maker. I look at it and think that the light could be the beginning of a fire. I put my beside my mouth and blow towards it. It lights up like a flame and the whole popcorn maker catches on fire from the little glint of light. I tried it with any reflecting light source in the plane. I can make fire appear from anywhere there is light that looks similar to a little fire. We didn't make it to the forest, but I am planning on going there soon.

3 night total = 4 + 18 + 18 + 7 + 30 + 40 = 117 points
Comp total = 788 + 117 = 905 points

EVERYONE
Will be waiting for 24 hours for scores (you all have 24 hours past 8 to report your dreams). I think most people that care about winning or care about their team winning probably knows if they won yet or not. Also, if I can get an estimate on when you all want the next comp to be, that would be awesome.

Like tomorow
No but really as soon as possible, this has been really fun

Oh, I hear that. We've been getting smoke from the forest fires in Montana -- completely greyed out the sky for a week. Everyone has been tired and irritable.

I'd definitely want to wait at least a couple months before another comp (and some of us have been talking about putting an RPG into play.) If there's another comp for the new year, I'll definitely join up, but I'm not sure I'll be up for it before that (sorry!)

This has been a lot of fun, though. Thanks so much for putting this together, Sensei, and a big thank you to the volunteers!

Oh and my estimate on when I would like another comp: in a month would be awesome. :-)

I thought that this was quite interesting. post your stats if you want to.

Spoiler for This competition:

44 non lucids
22 Lucids
= 66 dreams (33% lucidity rate)
4 WILDs, 18 DILDs (18%WILDs,82%DILDs)
14 nights (1.57 Lucids a night)(3.14 non lucids a night)
2 nights without lucids (14.3% non lucid nights)
12 nights with lucids (85.7% lucid nights)
or 9 DILDs a week, 2 WILDs a week.
4.71 dreams a night

not bad statistics I think.

Spoiler for Last competition:

My last competition:
44 non lucids
18 lucids
= 62 dreams (29% lucidity rate)
4 WILDs, 14 DILDs (22% WILD,78%DILD)
14 nights (1.29 lucids a night)(3.14 non lucids a night)
3 nights without lucids (21.4% non lucid nights)
11 nights with lucids (78.6% lucid nights)
or 7 DILDs a week, 2 WILDs a week
4.42 dreams a night

Improvement!!! lol. I expect to see much more improvement for myself next time.

Spoiler for My first competition ever (October 2012):

50 dreams (there is a reason for this too long to put here)
6 lucids
= 56 dreams (10.7% lucidity rate)
0 WILDs, 6 DILDs (this was before I had had a WILD I believe)
14 nights (.43 lucids a night)(3.57 non lucids a night)
10 nights without lucids (71.4% non lucid nights)
4 nights with lucids (28.6% lucid nights)
or 3 DILDs a week and 0 WILDs a week)
4 dreams a night

Also, note that the only comp I won of these three was the the one that I had 6 LDs.

Also, if I can get an estimate on when you all want the next comp to be, that would be awesome.

The sooner the better. 1-2 months from now would be great.

I barely had anything more I could write down here. 3 dreams and 1 fragment, making for a total of... 15 points this competition. That's very damn lousy.

Still, the points or lucid dreams (of which I had none during the comp) are not everything, and while I had a few more of my usual erratic dreams I also had more of my dreams that had a discernible link to something I've been doing recently, like the one dream where I was in the Corsair's Stronghold map from Tera, and the locations was actually precisely rebuilt, just spliced up with details that aren't present in the game. That bodes well for a lot of things, like incubation and gaining more control of my dreams. It's just one of thousand barriers I want to tear down in my head, but still it's one barrier less and figuratively speaking leaves me with only 999 now. And I'm pretty sure the next barrier won't take 8 months to reach as I'll be picking up the pace (it's still scary when I think about the absolutely ridiculously negative impact my 2,5 year apprenticeship had on almost anything and everything regarding my mind, like lucid dreaming or funny enough discipline).

As for the next competition? Mentally I didn't even finish with this one, so the earlier the better. It could literally restart tomorrow for me. I've been fighting on and off with my inner lazy bastard for months now so I need anything that helps me stay on track. Something like a permanent competition would be fancy for me, like a permanent point gauge that motivates me to keep up the performance instead of having just 2 focused weeks once every few months... Maybe I'll do something like that.

I usually try for Lucids on weekends at least 1 out of 3 weekends I succeed so I should hit 50 lucids in the next 6 weeks

I usually have loss of recall on Mon Tue Wed then building back up on Thurs Friday and then lucid Sat or Sun (when I am relaxed)
normally I do slack off on supplements in the week and add extra on the weekends

Until the last 3 days I also had no lucids tho I had over 150 dream segments recalled in nearly 50 dreams at that point

but just in case I finished with Zero I prepared this list because the effort just to recall dreams is worth it

During the competition:

best moment in non lucid dream:

when I dared to offer a finger to a dc girl that I thought I might have a chance with and for her to take hold of that finger before, seeing in my eyes with hers that a girl such as she must be spoken for and immediately releasing her grip.


most fearful moment in non lucid dream:

when I was straining to lean back my neck looking from the very bottom edge of my eyes at the eyes of the balloon cat who I held tightly in my grip as his balloon cat arms stretched around me their claws digging into me, the source of my eye's fear


most elated moment in a non lucid dream:

when I was pirouetting in the falling snow, spinning around and around thinking it's snowing it's snowing


most exciting moment in a non lucid dream:

when after seeing a flash far brighter than I could have imagined in a dream as the lightning struck thinking as I peered thru the brief blind spot from the flash which was between some other large trees, it must have struck a tree, where is the tree and then to see shattering and falling to pieces the whole of the tree every piece in outward free fall utterly torn apart by the lightning


most tender moment in a non lucid dream:

when I anticipated the bad baby falling off the side of the hill, and jumped to the bottom to catch the bad baby scooping it from the air as it fell and then kissing it on the forehead, and placing it back to safety


most disgusting moment in a non lucid dream:

chewing out the eyes of the globular monster that attacked me, It just kept coming back and was impervious to blunt force attacks, after I chewed out
some of its eyes it seemed to have more, Luckily I woke up before I swallowed any of them


funniest moment in a non lucid dream:

its hard to say, but when I was walking down the street with my family and an irritated girl was having a bitch slap fight with me was pretty funny, we were smacking the crap out of each other

Good job everyone!

Well I challenged my self without challenging myself really. Need to work harder next comp. Hopefully I'll be in a nice quiet period in life so I can give it my full attention.

As for permanent competition: not for me! It takes some time to recover, especially if I've ramped up the noticing of wakings, usually leaves me somewhat tired for a while.

But some sort of motivating and "staying accountable to goals" thread may help...a little birdy told me to look for something like that here soon!

edit: and...Here it is: Lucid Challenges

Hey guys, only 1 dream in the last few days. I didn't have enough time really. I had a lot of partying to do.

old total: 115.5 points
Final total: 116.5 points

I really hope I have some more time in future competitions to also read and write in some people's dream journals. But still, as is, I had a ton of fun and did some crazy new stuff. Good job everyone!

I'm with FM on that, I need a little bit to recover!
And I'll be starting my first year of teaching in a few days; I'm going to be way too tired for a competition until Winter Break. If we could have the next competition right around then, that would be lovely!

Or we could keep it as a summer thing?
Like maybe next summer we could have a competition at the beginning of summer and a competition at the end of summer?

So I need an update before tonight. I have all the scores, but I think most people have yet to do a final update.

oh god no, waiting till next summer?? I'd die that long

I loved the competition so it would be nice if the next one is not in 6 or 12 month. but i need to recover too and redirect my focus again on for example more meditation and more time for other things.

i think i would like to do a competition every quarter of a year,say 4 times a year? that should be doable?!


So thanks again for all the work

Spoiler for Statistics:

Statistics:

13 WBTB´s
32 fragments
26 Dreams
12 DILDS
1 WILD
1 DEILD
-->14 of 40 Dreams lucid: 35%

5 Nights without LD (36%)
9 Nights with LD (64%)
2,86 Dreams per Night
2,29 Fragments per Night

most lucids in one night: 4

p.s. i updated my last post with the dj entry.

How about we try to do a quarterly one then, like RelaxAndDream suggested?
Winter Break, Spring Break, Beginning of Summer and End of Summer? -ish.

Spoiler for stats:

51 fragments
14 dreams
3 LDs

21% lucid nights
3.6 fragments per night
1 dream per night

I think, 21% lucid nights is something I can work with for the start. More important here is enhancing the quality, as my lucidity in these dreams wasn't that high.

A quarterly competition sounds nice to me. There's enough time to regenerate and hone one's skills, and not that long a wait like half a year.

Had a lucid dream today (yay)
Went back to this competition to see if I could add to my score and found that it's been done for a while (aww)
