Okay... not posting the dream for night 14 as it contained the sexual assault of high school students, a part religious people might find offensive, and realistic gun violence. Nope. Not posting THAT anywhere public.
(Spellbee2 should I pm you the cliff-notes version er no? Please say no, it's just 11 points... )
For what its worth, I wound up layer 1'ing (thank goodness). So 1 point for this dream *ahem* nightmare and 10 points for getting lucid and getting the heck out of there before things got any worse.
I'll take your word for it.
Gonna be making those changes to the scoresheet today, so pardon my dust as I work.

Been super busy literally all week, worked 6 days straight and been working on an 8 page research paper. Sorry I've been off my game for the last few days. Hopefully tonight I'll go out with a bang.

Goals: -Become Lucid in every dream every night
-Perfect the time dilation watch
-Continue to have a dream plan for most of my lucid dreams
*phew* Finished the scoresheet updates. I also added tab colors to identify teams, because frankly that should've been there from day one. Also, fun fact: Google Sheets workbooks can't be more than 2 million cells in total. I learned that because I hit 2 million while making the edits. Luckily though, that's because each sheet had about 900 rows that weren't being used, so I just got rid of those. So hopefully, you'll notice the sheets load at least a little faster when you click on them, since there's about 30,000 fewer cells per sheet that have to get loaded.
Let me know if anything looks off, as usually when I make an update of this magnitude on the scoresheet, something breaks. It may look fine now, but in about 4 days all hell will break loose...
Anyway, since we're now starting week 3...
Important notes about week 3 - do not skip without reading.
Weekly Challenge - By my count, no one accomplished any of the Week 2 challenges. So because I literally ran out of ideas for challenges half-way through week 1, Week 2's challenges will be extended to cover Week 3 as well.
Task of the Month - Now that the comp is extending into November, November's Tasks of the Month are eligible for points. So, as a general rule, TOTMs must be completed in their month - you can't score October's tasks in November or vice versa. There's no limit on tasks though, so even if you completed all 5 October tasks, you can score 5 more for the November ones.
3-Step Tasks - Just like you could for week 2, you now have the option to pick 3 new tasks for Week 3. Remember that the difficulty limitations still apply. And no, you STILL can't pick RC/Stabilization as a task...
The new end of the competition is Sunday, November 6, at 8PM your time. I'll update the OP to reflect all this.

Spoiler for Zödra invaded:
A group of 4 people invaded earth in a non lucid dream. I get ambushed by a guy that says that he has the same role on the team as I have. He looks like a monk. He is always floating. He calls himself a pacifist and is too fast for me to catch up to him when I am not lucid. He keeps floating and phasing through things and breaking things to hurt me and other DCs. I get injured, a huge van comes and picks me up. My dad driving.
"Get in the back, this van operates on a wavelength that the people invading can't get to. The others are in the back."
I am confused and start thinking that my family is going to be in the back and wondering why we are in charge of protecting the world. I jump in the back and vixen, Jason, and a new girl are there. Ooooooh, I get it. This is a dream, semi lucidness really doesn't suit well for fighting. Vixen is fixing her wounds, she sucks at it, a huge scratch all the way from her hip to collar bone, not bleeding anymore, at least she fixed that much. I look at my wounds and they are all almost healed. I put my hand over them and it fixes them. I float over to her (After I fought the monk, my feet never hit the ground again, because I was trying to get on his level of flying and phasing (I didn't do any phasing while lucid though)
"Hey, let me fix that for you." I say to Vixen.
"No." She says, straight faced, putting her shirt back on and trying to pretend that she doesn't have any injuries.
"You are being an idiot if you want to fight someone that you lost to in the past while you are still injured." She ignores me. We ride to a a safe house to recuperate. I wake up
Spoiler for My rightful place on the team:
I had a few non lucids at the safe house, but then I got lucid at the beginning of a later dream.
I remember my fight against the monk and remember how fast he could go. It is nowhere near my lucid speeds. I need to find him and kill him. I don't look where I am going and fly out of the house (through the roof) and then I fly all the way to outerspace, then I imagine he is somewhere I am going to land and I slam onto the ground (it takes about 5 seconds to fly up, see the world, slam down). I made sure not to make a huge crater, and he floats up from the ground, smiling.
"You made it back. There is no way you can beat me, I am just faster and better than you, I told you, I am a pacifist and you cannot harm me."
"That is a load of crap, you are no more a pacifist than I am." I say, Teleporting behind him and kicking him in the back. He goes flying and phases through a wall. I imagine a cold rope keeping a hold on him, like Hisoka's bungee gum, I hit him amazingly far, but it hit the limits of stretching and he flew back to me, this time destroying things instead of phasing through, the last couple things he managed to phase through and then he almost runs into me, but I stop him with TK and take over his mind for a second. I was able to easily get a location of their leader and what he looked like. A very stern old man, but that was before he transformed when he got to Zödra to watch us. I make him pass out and then fly back up to the atmosphere and just let the opposite of whatever happened last time happen. I land at the hideout. I walk outside and there is a clearing, bright in the sun, and no one else wants to go there, even though there are people in the woods everywhere. As soon as I get to the clearing, I pause half a second and it charges my legs, the release and I run to the tree in the middle of the clearing almost instantaneously. I am really angry at this guy. (The tree is the old man's transformation). I don't want him to transform, so I pause his time, but leave his mind there in real time.
"You invade my space, and you send a mindless drone to confront me, the others on my team don't even know that I am the leader, but you obviously scouted us out and you didn't notice that I was in charge? You can't even keep up with me yourself, I am letting you see how fast I am, look at everything else and how slow it is moving." the presence inside the tree moves its consciousness around and starts to panic, realizing that everything else is moving so slow, I am walking in circles and talking to him. Yes time has stopped, but there is nothing wrong with him thinking I am just this fast.
"I control the weather! I control the tides, I control the eb and flow, you cannot keep up, you cannot compare. Leave this place." I cause the earth to get dark and then have lightning shoot out from me in a few different directions, the wind blows strong, even in this paused time. I release time and a huge beam of purple shoots up the sky, it is the transformation of the tree as well as him flying away, looks pretty cool. I see 4 other blue lights fly behind it. I will probably fight him someday, but I didn't really feel like fighting, he seemed really strong, and other than using the time bluff, it might be a close fight, I would rather just get him away for now and fight him later. I wake up.

This one was rather long and very interesting as well. Tons of points in here too.
DILD: 10 Points
DC Interaction (Talking/Fighting): 2
Mass Telekinesis (Brought in meteors in huge quantities and sizes from several moons): 10 Points

This was the best lucid I had within a competition for a few years. It's a shame I've done so much stuff while perfectly avoiding all of my 3STasks and my personal goal, but well, it was fun anyway.
Personal Records so far: Max lucids per day: 2 | Max lucids per week: 4 | Max lucids per month: 8 | Max dreams recalled in one night: 17
Longest lucid dream: ~35min | Highest flight: zoomed out of common existence [WTF?] | Fastest speed: FTL | DILD/EILD/DEILD [X] | WILD/VILD [X] | MILD/FILD/HILD [ ]
Interested to know how I got 17 dreams in one single night? And how I think I still could Improve? Check out my new and improved Dream Recall Compendium: The Dream Recall Compendium
Lucid Dreaming goals [X] Have LD [x] Control Dream [x] Have gravity induced LD [x] Stabilize LD [] Talk with my deceased father [] Talk with different Ego States
NLD x1=1
DILD x1=10
Telekenisis x1=5
Misc dream control x1=5 (If redirecting a tazer back at the user counts as element manipulation, let me know.)
Fly x1=5
Gain Invunerablity x1=5 (If being smashed into a tile/concrete floor hard enough to crack it and feeling nearly nothing counts.)
Element Manipulation x1=10
Won't have a night like this until next weekend.

Good night for lucidity but bad night for dream control. I figured I succeeded at the totm as I put my hands in my pockets without expectation and pulled them out, even though there wasn't anything in my pockets the first two times. The third time my pockets were so full that I couldn't pull anything out. The forth time, I woke up while was pulling something out.
Lets see, I had 14 points when I last posted. I have been on vacation with my wife for our 10th anniversary. I did wbtb on 7 nights (14) I had 4 lucids by chance each on a separate night (40) 2 RCs (2) stabilize (1) fly (5) manipulate DC (5) adv banish water from feet (10) =14 + 77 = 91
Comp total = 91
Sorry team. I know this is pretty low scoring for expert.
Even though I haven't been getting super lucid, I've had a ton of really long, vivid dreams lately. Probably only a matter of time before I just explode with points.
Night 16
2 NLDs - 2
WBTB - 2
Night Total - 4
Competition Total - 157
Also, fun fact, if the competition had ended today, the Vampires would've swept the floor with us all.
1st - Vampires - 2186.5
2nd - Werewolves - 1733
3rd - Skeletons - 1691
Will that lead hold up through the actual end of the competition? Only time will tell...

Yeah we're doing another week. Sensei suggested it here, I asked everyone if they wanted it here, enough people said yes so I confirmed it here, and I made the scoresheet edits and extensively talked about the new rules here.
