Thread: Contest of the Month in April 2018

Contest of the Month in April 2018

Hello!


Since the competition is over and people seems to be in their peak performance I would love to setup another friendly contest for better motivation in course of April.
Unlike classic competition, it's not mainly focused on dream control and lucid activities. It is less time consuming and more casual, because posting digital dream journal entry on Dreamviews is optional and scoring is simplified.

LIVE SCORESHEET


Rules


- There is no need for registration, just write your first post not later than 7th of April and you are in
- Continuously post your results at least once every 4 days if possible in the contest's thread which starts on 1. April at 20:00 of your local time
- Contest ends 1. May at 11:00 a.m. your local time
- No cheating!
- Use healthy self-criticism
- Posting your dreams on Dreamviews DJ is optional, since lot of people dont record their dreams in english and in digital for, so it is less consuming to write it twice with translation, but if any interesting experience is involved, everyone apreciate your sharing
- Recording your dreams in your own way of dream journaling is necessary for valid points (paper/electronic/audio), but no need for showing evidence. (Be honest to yourself)


Skill level categories

Please choose your level category to be to compete in group with competitors on your scale of level. The rates listed by the leagues are suggestions, but if you're feeling bold, feel free to try a higher league. You can switch your group during the contest (if you are too good, you can just jump to higher group or vice versa)

Expert - 1 lucid/2 nights to 1+ lucids/night

Intermediate - 1 lucid/week to 1 lucid/3 nights

Beginner - less than 1 lucid/week



Points categories



Wbtbs (Wake back to bed)

- For valid points do some activity like dreamjournaling, reading or better wake up from bed and do some activity that makes you more awake and aware from the usual groggy state in the bed (walking, sitting and reading, eating, stretching...) Choose what form suits your wbtb the best
- 1 wbtb = 1 point
- limit of wbtbs is 3 per night (max 3 points a night)
- for valid points, you don't need to become lucid after wbtb


Dream recall

- for valid points dreams are recorded (written by hand, pc, audio record...)
- 1 recalled dream fragment = 0,5 point (fragments from the same dream are limited by total 1 point and it can't exceed 1 point for the full dream from the same dream) Same dream means your remembering specified theme or connection in one dream
- 1 non lucid dream recorded = 1 point ( memory of action or series actions in one dream)


Lucid dreams

- 1 lucid dream recorded = 5 points ( If it's series of DEILDs, it's 5 points for all DEILDs in total. Advantage for Deilders is in lucid dream time category)
- semi-lucid dream is not counting as a lucid dream, but as non lucid dream


Lucid dream time

- one of the main pillar in this contest is to focus on the ongoing time in lucid state and knowing the precise lucidity duration, always keep this on mind
- longer lucidity = more points
- be sober in estimating the time spended in lucid dream
- 5 minutes being lucid in a dream = 1 point

1-5 minutes category = 2 point
6-10 minutes category = 4 points
11-15 minutes category = 6 points
16-20 minutes category = 8 points
20+ minutes = 10 points
Maximum points in one lucid dream time is 10 points
(for example 42 minutes dream time = 10 points)
(for example 14 minutes dream time = 6 points)
Every single lucid dream has its own points for lucid time


Scoring template

- please try to post your points clearly and simple but choose your own way. For example my system:

Day 1
1 wbtb = 1 point
3 fragments = 1,5 points
2 dreams = 2 points
1. lucid dream = 5 points
10 minutes in lucid dream time = 4 points
2. lucid dream = 5 points
22 minutes in lucid dream time = 10 points

night total = 28,5

contest total = 28,5 points


Prices will be announced on the way

CONTEST STARTS 1. April 20:00 P.M. OF YOUR LOCAL TIME, GOOD LUCK!
