^^ If I'm missing something or do something wrong with points and your reading this feel free to tell me. I appreciate it!
Since points for advanced versions replace the basic versions, you get points for fully phasing, but not hand phasing (though you still get the 15 points for the 3rd step of hand phasing). So 73 points.

~ I become lucid, maybe due to a nose pinch reality check. I instantly want to go to my destination so I will a door to existence. I look behind my back expecting it to be there and it is, it's yellow as it always is. I go to it and I open it. I enter a new scenery through it, this is how I get around the dream world usually. I lose lucidity soon after. I think I'm trying erase something out of existence with my hand. ~
Can't recall where I ended up, because I didn't get up to write the LD. I tried to have another one right after. I also forgot to stabilize and bring my self to the moment again.
frags: 1 (pushing hobo on sidewalk who was rude to my wife): +0.5
nl dreams: 1 (flying like a bird over a beach on the ocean by a tall rocky cliff, riding the air currents like a bird, ecstatic, it was amazing), +1
first DILD of the night: +10 (finally, a TASK-y LD!) LD#196
stop time: +10
interact with DC: +2
push hand through solid object: +5, first step of 3-step: +5
maintain breath awareness for a minute: fail: made it to 35 seconds though! And the clock was WEIRD!
Spoiler for LD details:
I'm walking towards a tower with a group of people, we're tourists visiting some attraction, we enter the staircase inside and begin the climb and I have a slow dawning awareness that I'm dreaming. I notice girls among the group climbing the stairs and I stop time and I notice all the DCs have frozen in place. I come up behind a girl and hug her from the back. We all continue the climb again and I hug another girl from the back briefly, but I stop myself and remember there are points to be had! I begin by recalling goal. I recall 3-step #1 and turn and face the wall (grey concrete) and think "there is no wall" and easily push my left hand through the wall up to the wrist, and pull it back out. Then I raise my right hand and think "wall is now solid" and tap the wall with my right index finger, my finger stops at the surface and it feels like I'm tapping solid concrete. I'm really happy at this immediate success and do it some more. I notice my best friend MR and say "Hey, M, check this out!" we're standing on a landing and I push my left hand through the wall up to the wrist again, this time it takes more force and there is resistance like the wall is made of solid styrofoam. MR is amazed and says "Whoa, how?!" MR and I continue climbing the staircase. I turn to MR and look into his eyes, he's standing close, he looks young and his face is accurate. I tell him "You're in my dream, you know!" MR says "Yeah!? Wow!" I give him a friendly hand squeeze of his shoulder and say "I see you in a lot of dreams," and while I continue to explain he gets sort of an expression on his face like he's not sure if he likes that fact, I think he thinks they're gay dreams or something, I quickly then say "we're usually drinking or <some other thing>".
I turn again to the wall on my right and this time I push my left hand through (again like stiff styrofoam), pull it out, tap the surface with the index finger of my left hand, feel it solid, then push my hand through again and pull it out. I feel completely confident that I can produce the solidity/transparency of objects at will.
M says something while we climb, suggesting some activity, but I say "no, I need more points!". I'm thinking a bit about dream duration, it seems completely stable and clear. I think of breath awareness for a minute (new personal goal). We emerge from the staircase onto a large open rooftop, and I hand MR my watch, it's an elegant small analog watch with a ticking second hand, which I give to him to hold for me. The second hand reaches 12 right then and I begin awareness of my breath and breathing on purpose. I realize I don't need to look at the watch because there's a clock right in front of me now, like an alarm clock, with a larger face than the watch, so I just focus on watching that and counting seconds and following my breath. But this is the most bizarre clock I've ever seen. There are multiple dials and devices all in motion over the face of the clock, each "hand" is a different color, it is a chaotic mess of color and swirling movement. The "second hand" swoops randomly from number to number, but still keeping a pace of seconds. I'm standing still watching the clock and following my breath. I get up to 35 seconds, and I feel
the dream fade/transition.
Maintaining breath awareness for a minute will be challenging, but it's a good challenge. I probably just need to keep moving while doing it for now.
Highlight of the dream was the repeated perfect success of switching back and forth at will between non-solid/solid wall, just as I'd planned.
Too bad I didn't know about the spider-climb challenge task before hand, I had the tall tower right there I could have climbed it easily.
WBTB: 2
points for the night: 35.5, new comp total: 6 + 35.5 = 41.5
Since points for advanced versions replace the basic versions, you get points for fully phasing, but not hand phasing (though you still get the 15 points for the 3rd step of hand phasing). So 73 points.
Okay, thanks for fixing it for me. : ) I will remember that when calculating my points next time.

]New personal goal : Summon Excalibur and slice something In half effortlessly.
Old personal goal : Sustain a clear and vivid lucid dream for at least a minute.
you can have more than just one of each (you can only claim one per dream/chain) so list a few you can steal some from other people lists like my flip a coin and land on edge or whatever or steal some from Lucid Challenges
you can have several/many on each list just can't be ones you've done before in ANY dream on the NEW list
Each day is 8pm to 8pm YOUR time zone
I don't know when the second week begins tho for second week joiners probably half way thru on the weekend
Spellbee will know
he can also determine if your Old goal is really just stabilization which is already listed for 1pt or if because it is a specific enough goal still qualifies, generally the goal needs to be something specific, so I couldn't choose 'make my self levitate' because it would be shot down as flying he he but if I chose 'find a flying skate board and levitate on it' it would probably be acceptable.

Reason: re read this competitions rule task one per dream/chain
Weird night tonight! I was struggling with recall again until imagining having sex with a former co-worker apparently sparked both nightmares and happy dreams.
This is seriously frustrating. I am getting good sleep and doing WBTBs religiously, but not seeing results. I'm one of my fragments from last night I was even discussing this competition with my dad and was interested in joining, but I guess my mindfulness wasn't too great.

Stomach was killing me last night from the birthday steak I ate. Woke up feeling like I was about to vomit. Still worth it though, that steak was delicious.

Second week starts on Sunday, August 7th. That's also when the second weekly challenge will start.
As for the personal goal, a time minimum on a lucid dream is fine for the Beginner/Lower Tier - I definitely wouldn't accept it for the upper levels.
