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

Thank you You neatly summed up my intentions for creating this contest!

April 2018 Dream Contest - Night 25

Scraps

1. Visiting a partially built carnival that turned up in the neighborhood. Large fish in ill-fitting bowls were given out as prizes.
2. Something about people competing with each other in some 'demon summoning contest'.
3. Walking around a mountainside town. Some, uh, interesting sights, which just became an internet search.

WBTB - 1 point
Fragments (3) - 1.5 points

April 2018 Dream Contest - Night 26

Scraps

1. More things about demon summonings.
2. Had a large abscess in my left wrist. Turned out to be more serious than I first thought.
3. Mom owned a yatch. It turned out to be more trouble than it was worth.
4. Me and my bro were detectives. Lots of interactions with ne'er-do-wells.

WBTB (2) - 2 points
Fragments (4) - 2 points

April 2018 Dream Contest - Night 27

Scraps

1. Watching a buddy's VR game livestream.
2. Watching Seinfeld. George gets Employee of the Month, prompting him to work hard to keep that title. He later finds out a female ex-co-worker, who'd recently quit, had just got a lucrative line of work, much to his envy.

WBTB (2) - 2 points

April 2018 Dream Contest - Night 25

Scraps

1. False awakening. An (unknown) nice looking gal was embracing me. Kinda odd, but pleasant. She claimed we were having a shared dream, but I doubted that even at the time.
2. Playing Skyrim. Doing the Thalmor Embassy infiltration quest. This involved lots of parkour and similar acrobatics not found in the actual game. Also, there were several guards capable of seeing invisibility.
3. Big family gathering. At one point, someone brings in several boxes of gigantic french fries.
4. Journeying through some cliffs with a big group. Some mishap occurs with me and an acrophobic guy, where we fell down many stories. We were mortally wounded, yet I could somehow climb back up. Dad randomly appeared to give me a senzu bean.
5. Batman - The Animated Series related dream. Bruce reveals his identity to a frightened Grace.

LAST NIGHT for me today... Good luck to everyone! Im proud how the competition was and we could see some improvements. Take this contest like a little warm up in upcoming improved version. The lucid dreaming skill is like every other skill, if you stop practicing, you loose your gains from your practice and you have to start from the begining...

REMEMBER: Contest ends 1. May at 11:00 a.m. your local time!
