Do you think it would be possible to give points for becoming "pre lucid"? like if the person starts to wonder if its a dream, questions it, and attempts some form of checking if its a dream (even if thats just a logic check) but it doesn't go through to the conclusion its a dream.

i think it would be helpful to encourage beginners

I was hunting in rain forrest and stay there with my hunting guide... Then i spend some time in beautiful hut in the mountains so now service for my phone there. I didn't write dreams on the way but I had awesome wbtb in hot pool naked watching the galaxy and snowy mountains around. It was magical. That's why im updating the points just now, sorry about that.

If I know I had a dream, but don’t actuall remember what happened, is that counted as a fragment?

you get points only for written dreams in your journal

Good idea, maybe we can add more points for prelucid dreams in next contest

Yes that is a good idea, I was actually hoping to host a comp in May if everyone's okay with that. I've given it a slight turn where it still rewards lucid dreamers but is friendly to any efforts of dream recall... It's more about discovering yourself as a dreamer. If anyone approves of my idea and wants more details or has additional ideas, let me know.

Points as of SUN 15 APR (Night 14) = 1.5

Any thoughts for improvement are welcome we can add more features and we can host together if you are keen.

Im a beginner, and in my Dream Journal i keep score of my semi lucids, pre lucids, and nearly lucids, Dream signs and all the rest, if in one week i have 3 semi lucids i feel quite happy and Count it as success. But in a competition the goal is too get lucid, i Think it would be very confusing too sort out what is a semi lucid, also might give you more half Dream attempts instead of pushing you too get really Lucid.

April 2018 Dream Contest - Night 14

Scraps

• Living through the Cataclysm from the namesake roguelike. A group of survivors and I occupy a shelter, only to have it assaulted by a Zombie Hulk.
• Comedy movie. Some businessmen hide into their stoner/dealer friend's trailer house to avoid a threat. They accidentally ingest some powerful drugs. Cue trip sequence.

Non-LDs

• A motley group of people and I had a premonition of an apocalypse that would start in a hospital. We make preparations.
• Playing an altered version of Tales of Phantasia for SNES.

LD - Starts as a Seinfeld dream. Get lucid when a friend shows up. Cut. I float through urban streets, where I charge various auras. Then some unfortunate events which I will away. There was another LD after this one, but I forgot it completely.

Not much to report
Although I am due for an LD... I just hope it happens in the next few days!

Day 14
1 NLD = 1 point
1 WBTB = 1 point

night total = 2

contest total = 34.5 points

I just wanted to say that I’m loving this competition.
Firstly because I don’t feel pressured to actually have an LD, it’s helping me get into the habit of recording all my dreams instead of just the memorable ones once or twice a week.
Also because I have always wanted to go in a dreamviews monthly comp, but I am not yet skilled enough to actually LD as often as I would need to (remembering tasks during lucidity is difficult for me).
I think a competition based on basics and habit-creation was an inspired idea. For me, it encouraged me to actually record all my dreams, and also got into my competitive side, making me want to do my best. I hope this monthly comp keeps going, I’ll be doing it again!

So ends my rant

Points as of WED 18 APR (Night 17) = Non-Lucid Fragment (0.5)
+ Previous total (9.0)
= 9.5
