2 DILDs - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

you probably what to clarify your time of dreams a bit better the posting deadline was for dreams that occurred before your local 8:00pm on Sunday, not for posting subsequent dreams so say what day the dreams were on. Were they on days 13 (Fri/Sat) and 14(Sat/Sun) before the contest end?

Oh Sorry why can't this competition go on forever? Please don't end it. I should have been watching the days on the calendar and now it's all over. My grand total is now: 18.5 ... Anyway I will give myself a: Thanks to everyone for making this possible.

Sorry for writing this so late. ;,;

Day 11: Dreamt about being in a rented apartment/motel thingy and accidentally walking into a neighbor's room. 1 fragment/+0.5 points

Day 13: Three fragments (+ 1.5 points). Had a weird dream where I got into a sword fight with people in this one game. Dreamt about experiencing an earthquake. And dreamt of my boyfriend flying to Canada, and when he arrived, speaking Dutch too fast for me.

Day 14: Dreamt of flying and beating a friend in a race, also about being on a boat thing/getting bit by leeches when I was going to go fishing with my dad. I guess I'll count that as two fragments, since they were seperate. +1 point

Competition total: 8 points.

Oh yeah, and thanks to everyone for joining, and spellbee for hosting.

Geez, it's been less than a week and I already miss the competition. Oh well, all good things must come to an end, and the even better things end with quantifiable results (at least, that's what the scientists tell me). So here's the final scores for the competition:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Hukif absolutely dominated the Expert League, scoring a whopping 1533 points
Google Image searching "Hukif" literally gave no results. So instead, here's a duck.


Which meant Ben Affleck was victorious over Henry Cavill as Team Batman dawned with more justice, and 2168 points.



Spock prospered in the Intermediate League, scoring a logical 462.5 points


And with a team score of 996.5 points, Team Mario reminds us who is the better bro.



Lunagoddess showed she had the night right stuff in the Beginner League, racking up 146 points


Meaning Team Louie have proven themselves worthy of the Scrooge McDuck fortune - a very lucrative 230.5 points.

---

In keeping with the new quarterly-competition tradition, the next comp will most likely be sometime mid-July. Let me know if you'd like to participate, and I can set up a list of people to PM once the signups go up for that one.

I will definitely participate (and more frequently haha) in Juky! I'll finally be done with teaching so less, less, much less stress

Thanks for writing all that up Spellbee, the competition was a blast! I am surprised I got (equal) most points for recall, but it is a pleasant surprise .

I would like to see both new and old traditions

New = contests that start at 8:00pm on a Friday and end 16 days later on Sunday


Old = Sensei no longer on Hiatus = so have him bring back a competition to fill in the gap months that is based on stability not control
where you get additional points for total lucid time instead of tasks

aim for 6-8 competition per year instead of just 2 - 4 ish

Thank you for your work Spellbee2!

Damn, that duck has some swag!!!

Thanks Spellbee for doing this! Yes, please sign me up for the next comp!
The competition apparently gave me just the right kind of motivation and I still can't believe how well it worked!

By the way, you've gathered a great deal of statistical data in that sheet - I think you could publish it in a journal as a statistical analysis of lucid dreamers or something. I don't think it has been done before and although a two week sample isn't a lot, the amount of data is impressive still. Also, I totally forgot to count my comments (though I'm sure that it's ~1 point so it's really negligible)! XD

Aye, PM me for the next one. It was fun, but, hopefully next time, Exams, Illness and a new version of KSP won't overlap with the comp this time.

I want to thanks you for hosting the competition spellbee! Thanks to it I improved faster than ever, did things in dreams I never did before and I found a fairly reliable way to lucid dream regularly.
No need to tell that I am going to take part in the next competition as well.

Typical - after two weeks of pathetic recall, I finally get a lucid dream on the night after the competition closed. Damn it. Better luck next time, I suppose. I look forward to participating in the next one.

Hey all,
I'm so sad I missed this competition...
Please sign me up for next time, looking forward to taking part! I feel this kind of thing would be a HUGE motivation booster.
At least I'll have time to get better and have some LDs...

A Mid Summer Night's Lucid Dream Competition?

Pm me. I'll be all about a competition. My biggest problem right now is that I haven't been Journaling. Got some good Journaling last night and am planning on keeping it up, just a short paragraph per dream to stop everything from fragmenting. Hopefully this will boost my recall back to what it used to be.

Cool! I'm in! Really need that extra motivation... Thanks!

You might have to sponsor the competition, looks like spellbee2 missing in action

I think there should be a schedule of 8 competition per year and each with 3 weekends and 2 intervening weeks

I second having a schedule. Competitions are really helpful and motivating for a lot of people. And in between competitions people will be motivated to practice and prepare for the next one if they know when it will be.

Surprise! I'm here. Just a little out of commission at the moment. I was out of town last week for a wedding, and this week my laptop is in the shop for DC jack issues (I'm currently awkwardly and uncomfortably typing this from my phone). So if I set up a comp this month, it won't be until I get my laptop back, which won't be until another week or so.

As for having more comps, I think most people agreed having 4 a year was a good number. But really, if you want more competitions, feel free to host them yourself - the Lucid Challenges forum isn't just for DV staff, anyone can start a thread. Plus you can make it whatever rules you want (especially you, cooleymd, you can make it the time-based competition you've always wanted ).

As for me hosting though, now more than ever with my new job, I only have the time and energy for one every 3 months at the very least.

Well one of my relatives is not doing well and I might have to move and things, I will continue to try to dream but I will probably suck in the contest. Also looks like possible civic duty to perform, probably reduce my sleep and dreams to minimum.
I suppose the good new is my relative and my current home may soon be dream signs.
