Thread: Spring 2018 Lucid Dreaming Competition

Only 1 fragment this time :C

2 full dreams and a fragment. I'm getting closer to achieving lucidity, so here's hoping.

TOTAL: 5.5 points.

Night 3 and night 4 = 0 points. Got close to no sleep.

Night 5
Wbtb = 2 points
7 dreams
1 wild = 10 points

I am laying in bed. Then I am laying on the couch. I think that this is normal, but then my legs start floating. I try to ignore it, but I realize my entire body is off the couch except my hand. I RC and then I see through my eyes. I let go of the couch and look around. I am in my living room, I banish everything in the living room at once to make room for flying. I then change it so gravity is pulling to the ceiling and I land there. I meditate and try to bring up my mind more. Stability rises, dream goals surface but my DC wife is trying to talk to me, so I then teleport to a river and touch the water. I fly over and through it for fun. Dont remember what happened next. I slept a ton last night to fix the last few days of non sleep.

RC = 1 point
Unspecified control (see through eyes) = 5 points
Fly = 5 points
Adv banishing = 10 points
Change gravity = 5 points
Teleport = 10 points

Old personal goal (meditate) = 10 points
Three step task part 2 and 3 = 25 points

Total = 90 points
Comp total = 129 + 90 = 219 points

Spoiler for Lucid:

Non-Lucid Lucid
I was waiting for a bus when it pulled up I and many others got on. The bus was strange with most of the seats facing the back, finally I came to a seat facing sideways and sat down. Some DC(s) walked past me and at the back sat in chairs that were set on three sides like a lounge section. Somehow as I sat here my attention drifted and the dream changed I was watching a movie among others in chairs, I realized it was like a movie at church. I saw the Sr Pastor. I also saw my brother, they seemed to be alternately holding out hands to shake but never at the same time. Someone got up from a recliner and several others left. I moved and sat in the recliner. I pulled the lever and it folded right up over me so I was sandwiched inside. It was comfortable so I watched the scene and the movie. Then I felt something crawling on me, it was like a spider but it was made of white gooey material like slime mold. I crushed it. Then I could see a much larger mass of white stuff, I tried to unfold the chair. The mass was breaking into many creatures and tentacles, I began crushing them into ever smaller pieces as my brother watched. Suddenly I must have false awakened, I began to reflect on the Dream I thought had ended. Then I think I once again started to false journal like the middle of previous lucid. I got up and the house was a wreck, I tried to go to the bathroom but it was a disaster too. Then a dead relative walked down the hall I knew it was a dream [+10 First DILD] I watched as the relative backed away and a tall strange looking version of my brother walked from the opposite end of the hall to come somewhat hostilely at my dead relative. I came into the hall and saw them go away from the door around the corner. I performed a jump test [+1 RC] and then began to fly [+5 Fly] I flew out the front door. I think back on the other lucid and remember I need to do the real the third task (Mass Telekenesis) I begin to walk on the dark road, but it isn't laid out right and around the corner I see a compact car I attempt to wave my hands forcefully and toss it with my mind, but it doesn't move [+0 FAIL]. I try again then swear a bit, the driver hears me and complains. I decide I should try for super speed so I try to run fast, but I'm not going very fast. So I begin to make rapid short steps imagining that my legs are fully extending but still I'm not moving fast [+0 FAIL]. I think back to a lucid trick, and my last lucid where I wanted to get tall, so I set one of my feet sideways on the ground and then walk sideways away from it stretching it out several feet (maybe 5 extra feet or so) [+5 Partial Transformation]. I step up onto my one long leg and begin to swing my other leg back and forth towards the ground. The long leg begins to shorten a bit, but the short one lengthens until it touches the ground. I now come around another corner. My legs are quite long so I attempt to run but still I wouldn't call it super speed, my legs were working like pendulums and I was more or less stilt walking. I could see a group of 4 steel poles I walked up to them and thought I'll use super-strength, I try to tear one of the middle poles off, but its seems a bit rusted thru and tears off easily, even so It would have been super heavy as it was nearly as tall as a flag pole [+5 Super Strength]. Next I toss it aside and decide that I should try to fully phase again. I see a corner of solid walls but look away hoping for a giant glass window instead, I destabilize. I wake.

Estimated Total Lucid Time 2 - 3 min

Night Total 2 + 2 + 26 = 30 points
Competition Total 104 points (Tripple digit Territory)

Best Dream Effect: the super High Wind picked me up and slammed me into a wooden wall, it was pretty cool being dragged and tossed across the dreamscape.
Scariest Moment: there were rampaging monster like people who seemed like half giants, with distorted features. They were armed with all sorts of stuff, I wasn't really scared but I was zigging a path and keeping my distance
Best Moment: That chick was super-hot, and many around her were singing a song about her immoral nature, she looked young and innocent, they were signing some sort of lyric about how she was just a week outta school, but...
Best Dream Food: I suppose it has to be the powdered cheese bread, it was a cheddar flavor

In the Hypnogram I clearly miss the first good REM and wake from the lamer second one at just before 1 AM, The S+ seems to miss the next Rem just around 2 AM, and then I don't think I really went back to sleep till the end of what shows as a seperate (red) disruption. The final Lucid containing REM looks nice a wide from just before 3:30 onwards

Day04Sleep1.jpg

I suppose I still have time for a nap, but I'll wait until just before 8:00 and then head to sleep
I have posted off next week on Tue and Thurs, so that means I still have Sat Sun Tue Thurs Sat Sun as good days ahead. Hopefully I can pull off some unlikely normal weekday lucids like this last one

My next Lucid will be my official 200th (including 5 ones I count from when I was young) then I'll set my count back after the next one to 196th Intentional Lucid, and then If I break 200 again I'll further set it back to 196th Since Join (Dream Views) and try for the Bicentenial a third time (not that I have any real chance of doing that during the competiton! I like to use this +5 +10 differential to encourage myself to break thru some nice benchmark sized numbers

Night 4
0
Had a dream but forgot it so I'd say 0 points for the night

I have S+ / google home mini(s) X 4 / Philips Hue color bulbs X 42
also I have considered buying a Lifx Strip. I only have one mini the S+ and one color bulb in the room I sleep in
but if it was possbile I could get a strip and make it flash like mad or play crap on phone or tablet or mini, or move in a pile of Hue Color bulbs and rainbow stream them or some such

I still have my S+ set up, but have not been using it recently.

Yes, I did manage to hook up my Android app to the S+ device and read the sleep data in realtime. I used this for a few weeks, and had some pretty good success with it. It was accurate enough to be helpful (ie. better than timers and such), but not enough to rely on you always being asleep (to do loud alarms or the like), so I had a system set up with a button where I'd press the button if it started an alarm and I was still awake. I think I recorded my results in a thread at the time as well -- okay yeah, here: https://www.dreamviews.com/induction...y-testing.html

I eventually started trying other things because I didn't like putting my headphone sleep mask on each night. I know, that sounds super lazy. Well, it's also partly because it makes my tinnitus worse/more distracting while falling asleep. It wasn't bad enough that I had to stop, but I wanted to see if I could find a different way that didn't exacerbate the issue (also, laziness, and forgetfulness).

If you want to try the app, you can download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ucidlink&hl=en

Note that the version there is kind of outdated. It doesn't have the more advanced sequencing and button-triggered-canceling that I added over the time testing. However, it should be enough to at least confirm the S+ connection works, and try some basic alarms/sound triggers. And yeah, it's definitely doable to hook it up to other actions like playing music on your phone or something -- or interfacing with bluetooth-compatible devices. I just haven't put in the time to code those "external triggers" so far.

3 full dreams from today's "nap". So another 3 points for me then.

TOTAL: 8.5 points

comp total: 4 + 9 = 13 points

2 non-lucids and 2 fragments: 3 points
Total of 4 points

@Venryx:
cool I'll try to check it out some time

I was thinking I would use lights to try to indicate I was dreaming
(might as well do something with all my lights since they cost well over $1500) he he

My sleep room is actually blacked out, and I only have one Philips Hue light in there, but I could try tapeing a Lifx 2M strip to the ceiling and set it to make some kind of colored light tornado
also I fall asleep to the "Ok Google Play White Noise Babbling Brook" but I could have it switch to "Take Flight by Lindsey Stirling or something when in a dream"
I still want to get one of those AERA, if only they would release more scents, I want there scent called 'Hunger' that they only sell to casino buffetts and I think they should whip up one called 'It smells like a Whore-House in Here' but apparently they like to focust on Woodsy, Flowers, and Citrus, What king of crap dreams would those produce

Night 4 - 3 Dreams = 3 Points
Night 5 - 3 Dreams = 3 Points

2 NLDs-2 points

Spoiler for DEILD:

After waking up, I tried to return to a dream. My body felt heavy and I started experiencing hypnogogia. During the hypnogigia, a dog said "the password is doggy doggy." I finally ended up in a room and out of curiosity, I said "doggy doggy" A dog came up barking and I woke up.

WILD-10 points

night total-12 points
competition total-76 points

2 full non lucids last night: 2 points
Competition Total: 21

Nice lead so far, team Sunny!

(though I am slightly concerned Hukif may be brewing a 5000 points lucid)

Not much to add for the last couple of days. Dreams have been vivid and interesting, but not lucid.

Day 3 - 2 dreams = 2 points
Day 4 - 2 frags, 2 dreams = 3 points
Day 5 - 2 dreams = 2 points

Total: 13

Need to take notes during natural wakes and hopefully finally do a proper wbtb!

I had multiple dreams, but I’ve been lazy about writing them down. I have to force myself to write down a dream. Reeeeeee. When I wake up, instead of writing down a dream, I fall asleep. I need to make changes and write all dreams I remember.

Stupidest Lucid Miss(es): 2 of the 3 dreams had Dead Relatives in them still no trigger

Well in this Hypnogram you can see I got to sleep on time, and had the first dream and woke, but then supposedly I woke after the next two cycles too (almost right after and right after respectively) but I don't so much as remember rolling over in bed. Then the last two REMs each with a little pre REM rolling around seem quite clear. In any case this Is what a good night should look like, if Only I woke and recalled and journaled all 5 REM and not just the First and then the Last two.

Two more non-LDs. I'm getting closer to cracking the code now. Maybe just one or two more nights? IDK.

Chock two more points to Team Stormy.

TOTAL: 10.5 points.

been having some real vivid and semilucid dream moments but no lucidity so far

night 6
5 dreams: 5 points
wbtb: 2 points

comp total: 7 + 13 = 20 points

Was swamped with assessments for accounting and so did nothing but study for 2 days. So no results what-so-ever for night 2 and 3. But the tests are over and so I can now pursue getting the dreams back up to scratch:

Night 4:
Net Total Points = 1.0
Gross Total Points = 5.5

Night 5:
Net Total Points: 0.5
Gross Total Points = 6.0

Slept like 4 hours again. Children are killing me slowly. Both are asleep now tho, so I should be able to actually sleep tonight.

4 NLDs-4 points

Night 6
3 Dreams + WBTB = 5 points
