thx spellbee as always!

Night 16:
WBTB: 2 points
1 Dream:3 points
Competition total: 78.5

Well, so I guess that's it... I did a longer wbtb than usual, this one took 15 minutes. Took some time to fall asleep. I had a weird dream where a meteor was gonna crash on earth and its presence was causing weird and evil things to happen. Me and my family where all hiding out in our apartment. There was a part of the dream where I maybe got lucid for a very short while and started floating around but got distracted by the dream and lost lucidity, for the rest of the dream I had flying and TK powers. I'm not sure about this tough, so I won't be counting it as a lucid.

Anyway thanks for hosting another competition spellbee, I appreciate all the hard work that goes into organizing everything. I wanna apologize for my team for my performance but I kinda hit a dryspell in the middle of the competition, wish I could have helped out more. I'm gonna begin experimenting with 15 minutes wbtbs and then maybe longer, see if I break out of this darn dryspell.

Sleep graph: Attachment 9738

Lucid #1
WBTB = 2
DILD = 10
Interact with DC = 2 (using wooden bar and fire-sparking on dc outside building)
Use hands to cause fire = 10 (/5) (not sure whether counts as element manipulation (that's very vague, btw), or just "other dream control")

Lucid #2
1 NLD = 1 (living in a megastructure with everyone else; contains river mentioned below)
Dream theme = 5 (falling in river briefly while crossing over on stones and wooden platforms)
DILD = 5
Interact with DC = 2 (engaging in combat of sorts with dc)
DC manipulation/mind-control [/unspecified dream control] = 5 (mentally nudging dc in direction of peace, while also talking to the dc, since he had a sharp-looking knife in his hand)

Session total: 24? + 18 = 42
Competition total: 579 + 42 = 621

==========

I did it! :D

Though the dream this time wasn't that great, I managed to get a lucid every single night (2 full weeks) of the competition! This is something I've dreamt of being able to do for so long, and accomplishing it now makes me much more optimistic, and able to shift now into "phase 2" of my lucid dreaming training -- getting better at stabilizing, staying calm, remembering dream goals every time, etc.

I don't yet know how much of this induction rate increase is from:
1) The investment of time and focus over the last few weeks.
2) The use of an experimental, text-to-speech induction "technique" I've been trying. (see here)
3) The excitement and team nature of this competition.

But I know that the three combined, at least, have done wonders for me! This is someone who averaged about one lucid per week, suddenly getting about 1.4 per night -- this is very new, and I'm still very much adjusting to it.

Hopefully this will continue post-comp!

Anyway, thanks so much for putting this together Spellbee. It's been very enjoyable and beneficial.

But alas, even a nap on the final day of the competition was not enough to get poor spellbee lucid again... :(

+5 Theme Dream 'bodies of water' 6:35pm (Irrigation Experimentation)

Spoiler for TD--Irrigation Experimentation:

Pre-theme Theme
Don't remember much pre theme I am at a River that has Irrigation channels off of it. One of them Isn't working. I begin hooking up various plastic connectors and hose to lay water to the channel. Some girl walks by and says that isn't right and points to the overhead pipes made of metal. I tell her the county is worth 13 trillion, I'm not I use plastic. I notice two relative nearby (one Not Alive), I begin using a device that is some sort of weather alteration and monitoring device. It looked like an Erlenmeyer Flask but with a side vent as well as the top, inside of it were 4 ice cubes one of them seeming grape flavored (I wanted to eat it but didn't want to mess up the experiment/device) the cubes were dancing around like popcorn in a spin popper. This indicated seeding activity in the clouds and was causing or indicating increased rain fall. I began to survey down stream in the non-functional irrigation canal, I found the high point and the place where the flow could widen if water were sent there and began laying the hose I woke up
estimated theme time approximately 2-3 min

Night Total 15.5
Contest Final Score 299


Stupidest Lucid Miss: Hmm these lights don't seem to work

Got a bonus lucid during a final-day nap!

Two, actually; with the second split in two by a false awakening. (though the first two dream-segments I barely remember... false-awakenings can really mess with my memory)

Spoiler for short lucid:

i am in a building and want to reach my apartment? i go up the stairs. it seems i cant go higher but i know my apartment ist higher so i search for a way and after going left i have to do a small leap over a cleft and there i can move a floor higher. i enter my apartment. everything is decayed and rancid. i go into "my room" and see only a mattress leaning against the wall. the wallpaper is rotten and brown. i put down a can i carry around. i go to the window put the curtains aside and look outside. i get the thought "do i want to start my lucid now or what" i "decide" to take it serious and get lucid. i do a nosepinch and let myself phase and fall out of the building. i land on the ground unharmed and look around. i am on a mowed meadow like a garden. i see a street behind a fence where cars are riding. i think of making a car float as a second three step task. but i decide against or cant do it. a girl approaches me and i shortly try to make her float too but for some reason make people float is more difficult than cars for me :D she says something to me and i think the dream destabilizes and i awake shortly but DEILD back in. i find myself in a shower already lucid. i see some shampoo and shower gels and try to make them float all at once but again i have no success. i question why i suddenly have such a problem with telekinesis? i dont know what to do so i leave the tub and think about my 3rd three step task. stop time. "maybe time already stopped? cant tell nothing is moving..." i go down some stairs and then i cant remember anymore.... :(

Thanks Spellbee for hosting this comp. i really like the small changes and improvements you made with your spreadsheet and the comp. itself.

And i really feel sorry for my team. I really could have done better and my performance was poor but i had a problem to motivate myself properly. Normally i would have the comp. all day in my head thinking about awesome ways to make some big points and reading others DJ entrys. this time in best case i manage to do this 5min before bed and hopefully remember to focus during wakenings... Hopefully i will be more dedicated and committed for the next competition. I hope the next competition will be AFTER 17th May. because i´m going to india for three month soon. :)

Weeeeeeee, today I will get a lot of points :D

2 NL dreams - 2 Points

Spoiler for First DILD of the Night - 10 points:

I was in my apartment. I realized I was dreaming. In my room there is a closet. I wanted to use it as a portal. The close adjusted to my size, I could easily fit in. I searched and searched, but couldn't find the portal. I went into my room. Suddenly, I was floating (this happens before I wake up) I stabilized by focusing on the gravity. There was a little girl here. I started talking to her. Then I had False awakening

Stabilization - 1 point

Spoiler for First WILD of the Night - 10 points:

*This is sex dream, so I will keep it short on details. It started by following HH, I was watching pictures form and then I was there. I was in a room with one boy. I wanted to look after his mother, because I wanted to have sex. I went through the door and found myself in a locker room in my gym. The dream started to fade, so I stabilized by focusing on gravity. There she was. We started making out (and something more). Then another woman appeared. I don't like her. She tried to separate us. I pushed her and summoned black hole to make her disappear. She fell in it and the black hole has disappeared. The rest is very private.

Stabilization-1 point
Interact with DC - 2 points
Advanced banishing - 5 points

Total today: 31

nothing new to report. Had 2 DILDs one each night the last 2 days of the comp. No real points though. Good game every one.

http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/siva...o-games-79959/

wbtb 2pts
2 dreams NLD 2 points

2 Non-LDs: 2 points

Competition Final Score: 115 points

Well, compared to the 450something points I scored on the last comp, this one was quite disappointing. Obviously there is a lot I need to work on and hopefully, by the time the next comp comes around, I will be back to at least 2 LDs/week.
Good game everyone!

No luck on the final nights of the competition, unfortunately. Better luck next time I suppose. :)

Night 12-16

How about in the next competition more levels (leagues) for instance:

Attachment 9740

and then allow the lowest levels to claim like the new super basic points for BEGINNER TASKS: (Anybody feel free to have fun with these, but you'll get wings only if you are a beginner.)
1. Slow down, look around, describe what you see.
2. Touch the ground. What is it? Grass, asphalt?
3. Look at your body. What are you wearing?
4. Say something out loud.
5. Look behind you.
6. Look at the skies. Are there clouds, stars?
7. Make your fingers longer, or your hand by trying to reach for something further away



the themes was a good idea to give beginners a chance even if they only trigger 1/mo or less

allow multiple themes for the lowest leagues

so like
for journeyman level only theme = Buffet

for aprentice above theme += Theme Park / Ride

for initiate above theme += Candy

for novice above theme += Monster and can claim two themes at once (examples: Candy Monter, or A Candy Buffet, or just a dream with two themes in it)

Gee, I'm late again, but here is my final update:

Points so far: 19,5

Full dreams: 2 - 2 Points
Fragments: 2 - 1 Points
(That was not much for all those days...)

But then I also had 1 lucid dream: Tornado Steel Building - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
First DILD: 10 Points
Interact with DC: 2 Points
Fly: 5 points
Banishing: 10 points
Partial transformation: 5 points

So... I missed both my personal goals and the 3 ST barely... Next time.

Competition total: 54,5
