81 is really good! Congrats!

Slept in this morning because I had an epic, detailed, opulent and incredibly sexy non-lucid just before my usual wake time and wanted to try to recapture the dream. Was rewarded with a fourth NLD, but no lucids (Waaaa!) so my scores continue to reflect my novice status. May try some Galantamine tonight to kick-start some lucidity. "Take one for the team" as it were.

4 NLD's - 4 points
1 fragment (old girl friend in bra and panties on top of me when mother enters bedroom) - 0.5 points
WBTB (fail) - 2 points
----------------------------------
Total for 8/13/16 = 6.5 points

Night 15:tropicalboxer:

5 Dreams: 5 Points
2 Fragments: 1 Point
WBTB: 2 Points

Total: 188,5 + 8 = 196,5 Points

Last night up a head! :)

About time I finally broke that dryspell and scored some points for my team :)! Sorry I haven't been active. I've been really busy with school, but it's nice finally having 2 LDs since last month. Let me know if I miscounted, forgot to add points, or added extra points!

I tried WILD (SSILD) but simply fell asleep. I caught myself waking up from a dream and was able to DEILD, later I had a short DILD.

Dream 2 (DILD)
- First DILD of the night: 10 points

Spoiler for Dream:

13.08.2016

Meeting with my gf (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in anatomy and my gf Carolina was with me. I had an urge to jump from my chair, hug and kiss her. I felt as if I hadn't seen her in a long time. Of course I hadn't, she was in Ecuador and I was in Canada starting my Physio degree. I plugged my nose and confirmed I was dreaming. I went to hug her, but the dream faded away.

Other points:
- WBTB: 2 points
- Recall 1 Non-LD: 1 point
- Recall 2 fragments: 1 point

Total of the night: 131 points
Competition Total: 176 points

New Personal Goals:
- Meet up with Angel
- Ask Angel who she is, where she has been

Angel was a recurring character in my dreams back when I was getting into LDing (before my big 2012-2016 LD break). We seemed to be in some kind of relationship and she felt more real than your usual DC; she also saved me a couple times from some crazy DCs. I want to consider these New goals, because even though I've seen Angel in dreams before (usually non-LD) I have never seeked her out or asked who she is. Let me know if that makes sense

3 NLDs=3 points

competition total=346 points

Sure have been getting a lot of surprise DILDs these past few days. Had to really improvise in the last one, and got an unexpected amount of points out of it.

First DILD = 10
Subsequent DILD = 5
WBTB = 2
Dream Fragments = 1/2

Stabilize Dream = 1
Practice a Hobby (video game) = 5
Unspecified (Palm Machine Guns) = 5
Teleport (skies) = 10
Advanced Flight = 10
Advanced Summoning (fighter jets) = 10
Element Manipulation (sparks) = 10

Task of the Month (airplane) = 15

Today's Total: 83 1/2

Competition Total: 488 1/2

I'm not sure whether those palm machine guns counted for anything. Really need some help identifying that.

Log 471 - Summer Lucid Competition - Day 15 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

EDIT: Talked it over with spellbee2. Seems the guns fall under unspecified control. Cool.

night #15:
2 frags (paintball guys up in the trees, multi-nationality young man printing out a document at an ATM) +1
1 nld (arrive "home" to duplex, think about interiors, play with my old dog L) +1

new competition total: 81 + 2 = 83

I'll be en-route Saturday night so probably won't get any more dreams in, but we'll see.

I tried praying and I got lucid, it is my new technique :) whoa I didnt even realise it was 3 times till I checked my journal entry for points.
Its kinda spooky sync as the first big lucid that got me into dreamviews podcasts and things was this week last year.

Remember a Full Non-Lucid Dream - 1 point = 2pts
Fragment +0.5pts

First DILD of the Night +10 points
Subsequent DILDs +5 points = +10pts

WBTB (success or failure) - +2 points (Only counts once per night)

Return to a lucid dream after a brief awakening mid-LD

Interact with a Dream Character - +2 points (Asked them where shall we go)
Use an Ordinary Object to Perform Dream Control - +5 points
(Made a pool cue telekinesis a cloth to fly around)

Fly +5pts

Mass Telekinesis - +10 points (Made all the pool balls roll into a line)

(changed it partially from night to day)

Spoiler for spoiler:

D1: Had a non-lucid but I couldn't remember it so I didn't count it.

D2: Lucid- Mike & I were fishing at the lake near where I grew up. I spent a lot of time there with my family growing up & new it was a dream but I hung out & fished for a while. As I became aware & lucid I saw the lane that was my grandpa's long driveway. I had set the alarm for my wbtb so I woke up briefly to turn it off & chained into the next dream easily.

D3: Lucid- I was still with Mike at the lake fishing but the lane was gone because I knew it didn't
belong there I guess. The scenery was really pretty. (Reality check.) All majestic looking with the dam
stoicly errect making it look like some sort of postcard picture. I started looking
for people to interact with. We came across what looked like a concession stand & we
got water. We then sat up on these bar stools while we drank our water, where we met a
man & his wife who worked there. They were talking politics. It was a pretty funny conversation.
They told me that there was a new law that all women had to be on birth control for
population control. I was looking at Mike & laughing. I then proceeded to explain the
insanity of this idea because I had a hysterectomy & don't have a uterus to even carry
a baby. These people weren't getting it, lol. I finally tried to compare it to being
a man. I said it's like the likelyhood of a man having a baby. It's just impossible.
They said that wouldn't be a good enough excuse & I laughed & asked them what they
suggested I do.


Then Mike's alarm went off & we had to rush out the door. Today was back to school road
trip day... I'm actually surprised by this. I usually don't sleep well the night before any kind of trip but I was so exhausted. I almost didn't care enough to even try for pts, but I set my alarm anyway. I guess it was a good thing I did.

This is good timing for me to get the hang of WILD! It is fun meeting up with DreamCafe11 and FireFlyMan and I am glad AndresLD was able to meet me too!

Seems like here's the rest of my rather pathetic score.
3 more full dreams, 5 fragments, for a total of... 10 points I think. Well, my dreams became slightly better and I did dream of Ryuuko once, albeit not lucid, so it's still an improvement.

It's 2:45am and I'm awake and posting during my WBTB. Galantamine and Choline are down the hatch. Let's see what happens.

Morning Edit: Meh. No lucids, just some epic, long non-lucids. Some weird stuff, too. Couple of "gansta" dream characters to deal with.

3 NLD's - 3 points
1 fragment - 0.5 (scraping pills and residue off of a baking pan)
WBTB (fail) - 2 points

Total for 8/14/16 = 5.5 points.

Well dreamed everyone! :)

Due to connection problems I was unable to post here yesterday, so here is my summary for both days:

Night 15

Recalled a non-lucid fragment: 1 point

Competition total: 301/2 points

[13-08-2016] #15th competition entry - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Night 16

No points. Nothing recalled.

Alright so I've had lots more nonlucids but I don't feel like doing any more really long orange DJ entries with 5 nonlucids at this point so let me just sum them up.

Spoiler for Night 15:

One dream involved me being a diet pill and journeying inside somebody's stomach. Once I arrived the Diet pill transformed into this robotic tripod that navigated the walls of the stomach and I was on a cannon that shot bubbles attempting to contain all the junk food that entered the stomach while allow all the healthy food to pass through.

I know the weekly task for week 2 was to be taken as a pill and enter someone. Looks like I did it nonlucid. No points for that, sadly.


A dream about the Olympics. I was watching an interview of this female swimmer with short blonde hair who had just won gold. She then started laughing in a way that scared me and said that god never won an Olympic gold medal and therefore she was better than god, or something. The interview went on to cause a lot of controversy among religious groups and the girl got kicked out of her church for saying that.

I was on a game show. In the game show there were three contestants, but I was the winner because the final challenge was to fight with your hands tied behind your back. (The second to final challenge was to eat a live centipede :makeitstop:. I outright refused to do that one but it wasn't worth a lot of points.) But even though I won, the two losing contestants got to choose the prize that I got. They said it was a vacation to Las Vegas and then Japan. My parents were worried about me going alone and complained for awhile, but I brushed them off. When I went to vegas I met this male character who said something about beer and showgirls.

Spoiler for Night 16:

A dream involving me having a new job in the grocery store and getting a tour from a girl showing me where all the items were. Apparently my job was to help people find what the needed so it was important that I know where everything was. The dream was very boring though.

A dream where I was taking a bath in my parents bedroom. For some reason their bed had been replaced with a really luxurious bathtub/jaccuzi. The windows were open and birds and bugs were flying in and out. There was a big red and gold praying mantis climbing on me. At first it frightened me, but I realized it meant me no harm.

A dream where my top front right tooth was reduced to a small spike (supposedly chipped) and was really loose. The gum was inflamed and peeling away. I'll spare you the full dream body horror experience. The usual cliches of the dream played out where I was trying to phone a doctor but the phone wasn't working and when I did get it working they said they couldn't make an appointment for two weeks.

I did a wee back to bed.

I remember having another body horror dream where I was covered in bright red pimples like polka dots all over my body. (Or I guess it could have been a really bad case of chicken pocks.) I remember thinking that I would just wrap myself up in clothes and nobody would know. But then I remembered that I had to go to high school and I wouldn't be allowed to wear a hat or a scarf.

When I woke up from the second body horror dream, I was pretty annoyed that I hadn't gotten lucid. I felt I could do reentry and maybe score a lucid, but that didn't yield anything.

So night 15 is just three nonlucids.

Night 16 is four nonlucids and a wake back to bed.

3 NLDs=3 points

competition total-349 points

Thanks for hosting the competition, spellbee!

Final Night
WBTB: 2 points
2 Non-LDs: 2 points
Competition Total: 180 points

I came really close to DEILDing again last night, this time through a custom DEILD alarm. I made it to the beginning of my usual HHs but dozed off :/
Nicely done everyone!
Thanks Spellbee for hosting, I really enjoyed taking part in a LD competition for the first time :). Next one should be better for me once I'm through this busy busy month.

Night 15: 2 more points for 2 dreams
Night 16: 3 more points for 3 dreams.
Competition total: 77 pts

For some reason, I thought this ended on Night 14th... haha. Anyways, good job you all!

83 points

1 pt for 2 non-lucids
2 pts for wbtb
= 3 pts

I know we get 1 point for every 3 comments but I still don't understand how the points for our comments work. Or to be more exact who tallies that. So I'd hope someone would explain this. I was told that they would be tallied at the end of the contest so I'm guessing that means after 8pm tonight.

http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/elaineylane/spellbee-comp-night-14-77048/

Spoiler for spoiler:

D1: Non-lucid One was about Meesha peeing in Josh's room on the floor because she was mad that he went back to school.
WBTB
D2: Non-lucid I was involved in a threesome with DC's that I didn't know.

I did 5 wbtb's but I had a really high pain level going one which made my dreams so abstract that recall was impossible. I tried to stay awake & do recalls but it was just a mess. I guess I shouldn't have made the road trip yesterday with Mike to take our son back to college. I knew I had hurt it Thursday for the millionth time but I know he hates to make the long drive alone. So no swimming today either. The dream w/ Meesha Cat peeing seemed so real that I actually went & checked if it had really happened. I'm not logging the other wbtb because I can't put the dreams w/ them so in my opinion they shouldn't count in a contest.

Not the big kajillion point send-off I'd planned, but, past the sleeplessness, it was exciting nonetheless.

Log 472 - Mystic Skirmish and Other Assorted Stories - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Really, really need help scoring this. I'm not sure if that aura counts for anything more than what's here, and if that fight with an enemy faction member counts for points despite not recalling who it was exactly.

In any case, I really enjoyed this competition. Hope you all had fun, too!

EDIT: Talked over the scores with spellbee2. Added missing points and added DJ comment scores as well. Points finalized.
