You counted super speed twice for the same dream. Also, the bonus 5 points for fictional character is for summoning and transforming, but not for banishing (since that would be mainly luck if you just happened to come across a fictional character). However, you also forgot to count the bonus points for finishing all of your 3-step tasks, giving you a total of 72 points for the night.

"Going through life worrying about the little things is like cooking with motor oil instead of cooking oil. Sure, you can still probably pull it off, but it'll leave a bad taste in your mouth in retrospect." - Me, apparently
Pretty meh night... did a short wbtb to try WILD with an anchor. Laid there, started counting in my head and every time I stopped counting or forgot what number I was on, I would start counting from 1 again. Ended up falling asleep tough.

Stupid DCs were distracting me. I guess I'm afraid that if I don't appease them, they will follow me around everywhere. Next time I'll try to do what I want rather than what the DCs want. I could use some better banishing skills. Something to work on!
Nights 1 and 2 are void of any dreams, lucid or not. lost cause.
Night 3, after retracing some memories, 4 nlds. I feel kinda dirty calling them 4 dreams since they shared plot threads and it was more like one really long nonlucid with just a bit of semi-lucidity, but Nights 1 and 2 were ruined due to being exhausted from a family holiday, so I'm way behind. Hopefully nobody will mind me taking 3 extra points...
Night 4.
DILD x2 = 15
RC =1
WBTB =2
Fly/Super Strength/Super Speed (I launched myself, it was really like a big jump. Spell can decide Exactly what that was.) = 5

I woke from the first dream and commited it to memory, then I woke form the second dream and thought I commited some of it to memory. When I woke from the third dream I remembered the first just fine, but lost nearly all of the second, I wish the computer in my room still worked so I could journal in bed

Spoiler for DILD:
I am at my house (house I had in 'merica), flying, already lucid (I don't remember anything before this). One of my team is fighting against me and using dream characters to do it. I fly into the house and vixen is there. Instead of using DC's bodies, I'll use hers so that my teammate doesn't know it is me. I jump into her body and teleport outside. immediately am attacked by a DC. I block the extremely strong attack with my arm and then tk the DC into the ground. A crater is left in its wake. 15 DCs come at me and start attacking. I jump into their head using scan and find out where the controller is. I TK all 15 of them into their own unique craters. Seems like Julia isn't very adept at many controls. I doubt Jason trusted her much. I teleport quickly to another version of my house, it is darker here. She is shocked when she sees me (since I am vixen and not myself). I fly at her and she moves incredibly fast out of the way. Seems like an anime (bleach really). I remember when I first met vixen she was much faster than me, faster than sight, I can do that to, but it isn't my forte. It is vixen's though. Julia flash steps forward at me with an attack and I flash directly behind her. Kicking her into a crater. What is with me and craters in this dream. I put my hands together to pull out my sword. Nothing happens. Don't know if it is because I am vixen or if it is because I lacked the control at the time. Julia flashes out of the crater and we fight at dizzying speeds. I wake up.
There was a lot more to this, wish I knew what started the fight, but I was like "It is so early and I just had a lucid, just write down the highlights!" So it took me a good 20 minutes to even remember this.
Spoiler for WILD:
I am trying to get the key from inside the crypt in the hills behind Arkham, kinda complicated for a normal lucid, but with how my WILDs have been lately, I should be good. I am listening to the audio book "through the gate of the silver key" to help me out. I am flying over the hills in my imagination, but then the dream actually starts and I look down and see a forest. Not the right place, I imagine the hills appearing in the distance, but then a beach appears followed by an ocean. I fly under the water thinking that the hills might have been covered by the ocean, but I just see a normal ocean floor. I get a little scared being down there. I fly out of the water and plan to see the hills after that, but I am distracted by the sound of something coming out of the water behind me. It is like a giant blue octopus with a sky blue body and dark blue under the arms, flying through the air like it would swim through water and gaining on me. I hold my hand up like I have a blade and make a fire energy whip thing. I slash at the octopus and it is sliced all the way through and is missing about a third of its body as it falls to the ocean. I turn around and fly under the water again. I can breathe under there, that is pretty fun. I make 5 more fire energy whip swords and have them rotating around me while I swim. I fly out of the water and there is no end of ocean in sight. I close my eyes and imagine the hills. They aren't appearing through my closed eyes, so I imagine them again and just open my eyes. haha. hills. I land on the ground and cannot find the two trees. I fly up again and look on the horizon, not there. I keep spinning and see nothing. I decide to try a behind the back summon from far away. Oh yeah they were this way! I think and fly backwards. I turn around and land right at the trees. There is supposed to be a crypt in between them. There is a hobbit hole .
similar to this, but kind of randomized colors, red door, window painted blue so I can't see in, the wall is green
I decide that it must be built over it, but instead of going inside, I decide to dig out the house. I grab at the grass above the door and it starts pulling back easily. About 5 inches in, the wood ends and I can just see blackness behind. I guess I could have opened the door, but it could teleport me away or something. I tk the whole wood panel out and it is just black darkness. It doesn't look like it belongs. doesn't look dark, but more like the lack of anything existing there. I jump in.
Instantly I am teleported to the void it seems, or maybe just sucked in. I look around, because I was kind of expecting it to be dark here anyways. This is still where I was planning on finding the key. Floating above me, the silver key seemed to shine its own light. The connection to deeper dreams and other dimensions, the silver key. I grab it, and at this time I start to feel my body a little more and can hear the book again, or maybe just understand it again. I notice that what is happening in the book is also happening around me, I had fallen asleep at a time where the protagonist was in the place I was trying to get to, and I had entered a long time after him. The timing actually doesn't make much sense when I think about it. But here is what I was hearing during the dream
For this Shape was nothing less than that which all the world has feared since Lomar rose out of the sea and the Winged Ones came to earth to teach the Elder Lore to man. It was indeed the frightful Guide and Guardian of the Gate—’Umr at-Tawil, the ancient one, which the scribe rendereth the Prolonged of Life.
The Guide knew, as he knew all things, of Carter’s quest and coming, and that this seeker of dreams and secrets stood before him unafraid. There was no horror or malignity in what he radiated, and Carter wondered for a moment whether the mad Arab’s terrific blasphemous hints, and extracts from the Book of Thoth, might not have come from envy and a baffled wish to do what was now about to be done. Or perhaps the Guide reserved his horror and malignity for those who feared. As the radiations continued, Carter mentally interpreted them in the form of words.
“I am indeed that Most Ancient One,” said the Guide, “of whom you know. We have awaited you—the Ancient Ones and I. You are welcome, even though long delayed. You have the Key, and have unlocked the First Gate. Now the Ultimate Gate is ready for your trial. If you fear, you need not advance. You may still go back unharmed the way you came. But if you choose to advance . . .”
I could see The Guide, he was tall, but covered in shadows, so I couldn't discern his face. I didn't really want to proceed, I just wanted the key. I think I was trying to make it too much like the book, so when it became more like the book than I wanted, I stopped listening and decided to teleport out. I double checked that I had the key, but then I heard the book again.
We salute you, Most Ancient One, and you, Randolph Carter, whose daring has made you one of us.”
Carter saw now that one of the pedestals was vacant, and a gesture of the Most Ancient One told him it was reserved for him. He saw also another pedestal, taller than the rest, and at the centre of the oddly curved line (neither semicircle nor ellipse, parabola nor hyperbola) which they formed. This, he guessed, was the Guide’s own throne. Moving and rising in a manner hardly definable, Carter took his seat; and as he did so he saw that the Guide had likewise seated himself.
The pedestal I saw was made of shining gold, and had jewels encrusted in it, as it talked about the rest of the things, I only paid attention to my pedestal and floated towards it on accident and found myself seated. I didn't see any of the other pedestals that it was talking about until after, and there were two of the other ones looking at me, strange, grey wrinkly faces that didn't seem aged, but didn't seem young either. They didn't seem to hold any emotion either, just watching me. I needed to get the key out of here before I lose it to the book I haven't yet read or just drop it in this floating emptiness. I look down and I am not wearing a shirt, and my shorts have no pockets. Something to remember the key by. I look at the key and examine it. It is sharp. I stab it into my stomach and it gets stuck at the hilt. Barely any pressure, that won't be easy to remember. I stab myself again and again until there is pain and until I can fit the key all the way in my stomach. I can feel both my body and my dream body, so I go back to my waking body to make sure I don't lose my key.
THAT WAS FUN! I feel like I have been making some good progress with my WILDing. Might actually make a thread about that soon. I was laying down to WILD and realized that I wanted to get that key. I jumped DV and posted that so I wouldn't have to do one of my other goals. haha.
I had trouble w/ my first 2 wbtb's & the dream recall so I won't count them.
D3 I was on this big slide & the first guy I ever had sex was w/ me. We were both back in time as young as we were then. Both way too young to be having sex but we did off & on for a few yrs in real life. Did RC but didn't need to because I realize how absurd it is that we are both young & I know I'm married to Mike. It makes me lucid & I am having sex w/ this guy which I know is a dream so I just go w/ it. We had sex behind this green house which was the actual place I lost my virginity in real life so it was all youthful fun. We were trying to do it everywhere, just like back then. I then jump forward in time & I'm w/ Gail which is my ex-girlfriend. I'm so excited to see her. I'm telling her that I just came from the past. Then my alarm goes off for my wbtb.
D4: She is still there in my WILD, now I'm chaining a WILD. But we start walking. It's all hard to describe. I'm still talking to her about jumping forward this time in time & how I came from the past. She starts to kiss me & I know it's a dream so I just go w/ it. We are making out & talking about how we have missed each other & our friendship. (We were best friends before we were girlfriends & lost our relationship in the end. It was really sad because she's battled cancer, yet she was a toxic relationship for me to be in IRL.) The scene starts to destabilize. So I jump back in time to where the guy is & we have more sex, breaking a fence in the process. When this happened, the dream tried to destabilize & I jumped forward in time to be w/ her again. I kept jumping back in forth in time & lost track of how many times I did it on purpose so I'll use the low end scale of 4 times for point purposes. Eventually my alarm went off again for another wbtb w/ no success.
Important note: I have an ethical dilemma w/ sex in dreams because I'm always lucid in such scenario because I immediately remember that I'm married. I talk to my husband about my dreams & he doesn't read my journals as an act of privacy. But, today I lied & feel like shit. I told him it wasn't lucid because he knows how real they feel & didn't want to hurt his feelings. I think I did the right thing because I had already blurted out the time jumping, the first guy thing & her & he immediately asked me if I was lucid. Hence I said no. I had a sense he was gonna freak out if I told him I kept jumping back & forth for sex while lucid. Oh the dilemma.

“The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens to that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach.”― C.G. Jung
