In my lucid dream I had encountered two female police officers before becoming lucid but even tho I was trying to get directions from them they were ignoring me, now I long for Trumptastic Payback
sure one officer is less than 3+, but remember they will be in athuority and armed + a lot harder to find one milling about my dreamscape in uniform and I love smacking down dream cops
Also I declare it is Ginger Lily Lucidity Time for Tue/Wed and Wed/Thur With 10 total scents avaliable for Dream Influencing I have loaded up Ginger Lily (maybe it'll induce a red-headed cop named Lilly )
Also, cooleymd: Keep posting the way you are but could you please maybe put a section in your points where you add your points tally? It will make it easier for me when I finally construct the scoresheet for this contest.
With lucid points; here's an example.
Night 1, dream 1 was induced by DILD = 10 points + 5 points = 15
Night 1, dream 2 was induced by DILD, you had a WBTB before this and it was successful = 5 points + 2 points = 7
Night 1, dream 3 was induced by DILD but it was subsequent without a WBTB = 5 points = 5
Night 2, dream 1 was induced by DILD, following a successful WBTB = 10 points + 5 points + 2 points = 17 points.
Score all lucid dreams the same, with a 10 points bonus for your first one each night; do you guys get that?
ok yea I plan to write up dreams with just summary of scene or parts of scenes
but then spoiler for any lucid or extra points claimed
Like I do in other contests
so like
Midnite: Scene One / Action A / Action B / Scene Two part 1 / Scene Two part 2
sometimes scenes are complex and get broken up otherwise I just mention main plot changes
then I refer back to a part in my comentary of best/worst of each night such as
Dumbest Miss: in Action B as the evil witch of the west turned me into a naked flying monkey I didn't notice because I just had to chase that girl and her danmed dog so badly!
I'll try to write up each night, but I still havn't gone back to actually transcribe my audio notes
then I make up all the synospsis and spoilers and past in with points
(as I never actually started a journal on this site)
Tonight I noticed my S+ had seemed to stop again and then it wouldn't pair, I had to uninstall and reinstall but supposedly it is ready to go
only 2 dreams/fragments so far tonight (probably one of each)
It is nice to have additional information (uploaded by the S+ to the resmed cloud) such as the Yellow bursts here showing me turning on my lights and leaving the room
or the sharp downturn in the red temp line as I turn on a Whole house fan for like 20 minutes and suck in cool air (and blast away moondance scent )
or not seen in image but purple spikes as I "YELL" at Google FullerDataFromCloud.jpg this is the same graph as already posted yesterday but with that kind of extra stuff
hopefully I have enough time to dream at least one more dream
Gingerlily doesn't seem to be that strong smelling, reminds me of like fabric softener or something, I had hoped I would like it better
also in the second image it claims I was asleep around and just before 4am, but I was awake, I had tried playing an audio book and was lying very still listening to it it must have mistaked it for sleep both light and deep
but in the last section from about 4:20 to 4:40 I did fall asleep
and dremed Lucidly
So I will be claiming points for WBTB
Lucid Dream
DILD
and
RC (Jump Test)
Fly
Meet a real life enemy
Fight a real life enemy
I will write it up latter (hopefully tonight with all the rest )
my real life enemy (at least for dream purposes) deserves points too for invulnerability, as he resisted garatting and neck breaking he he
Note that my dream count has been set back to my offical total
its 201st since join and 206th intentional, but I also count a few lucids only 5 from when I was much younger and didn't read up on lucid dreams, but I had them long ago too (only counting 5 of them) gives the 211 total lucid dreams
I have been transcribing my audio stuff for like two hours an am not even to the first lucid much less to making up just synopsis so I'll get to bed and try to finish up tomorrow
If I can manage the hat trick (three lucid nights in a rwo) I can get a few extra points I'll try hard but I only have like 7 hours till must get up for work If I fail I could try to dream tomorrow afternoon I suppose, but that would fail for sure (try for before 8PM day/night change)
three weekdays in a row seems a bit much to ask for but I guess we'll see
well at least my never give up attitude got me one last good dream before waking
I should have had plenty of time before waking, but no Lucid, highly vivid tho to bad I didn't notice the constant changes in the dream
I was calling the police at the end of the dream just before I got maced. Never know a female cop might have turned up
Nap plan update, I have arrived home in time to have 1 or 2 tries for a nap lucid to keep the streak alive
I have unloaded Ginger Lily and loaded up Cherry Blossom, I'll head to sleep and set my alarm for 8:00pm
In my opinion the most important things about recall are:
1) TIMING you need to wake after each dream, there are many ways to try to achieve this, like intention setting, looking for a tell on dream exit (it used to work for me also to trigger lucidity, for me it was like a glittering in my eyes/dream) using suplements etc, but honestly the most efective way is to just drink a lot of liquids (and the best is probably water)
(so after waking, recalling, recording, (using the bathroom), remember DRINK MORE WATER on each awakening)
(Intention Setting)
"I will remember my dreams"
"I will wake after my dreams"
"I will not move upon waking"
"I will not be distracted"
"I will wake quickly"
This one is very important in relation to TIMING, dreams begin to fade immediatley it is just as easy to have a dream fade to nothing on its own as to have it distracted away by waking life
2) NOT_BEING_DISTRACTED upon awakening by waking life
3) STRESS (this plays a role in the above)
4) STILLNESS remain still and focused and in the same position (or return to same position) you woke in
5) If you can't remember something go thru lists like: car, boat, plane, skateboard, bike, bus, truck train
mom, dad, brother, sister, friend...
6) if you do finally remember something work backwards and forwards remembering more and more
My recall is fairly good, and improves thru the night so 7) might be get lots of sleep
Of course the downside is I am still transcribing my audio and still havn't made any synopsis
but at least I'm up to just after midnite morning of the 6th
Meanwhile new pretty picture of hypnogram just look at all those evenly space red awakenings of course having a good wide yellow in front of each one would have been nice (but who knows maybe there was a tiny bit of REM and the tracker just missed it or was about to flag it as yellow but then I woke)
also I have found that the original screen shots are just as small size wise as my reworked ones, so unless I am pasting together several I might as well just post the original he he it should look a lot sharper and probably bigger in this one (sort of which I wasn't using the giant 10.1 in amazon for sleep tracking tho, then it would likely be smaller still (and in size))
arg I am still transcribing dreams, I am down to only 30 minutes twenty five minutes of which are from last night in eleven recordings (might not be eleven dreams tho sometimes I do a second recording after more recall, since I start recording as soon as possible on each awakening and don't always remember everything right away)
Transcribing is the harded part then I'll make up synopsis and match up to charts and such
but it will take a while to post any dream with extra points as I will write it up seperately in a spoiler with as many details and best sequence of events (and comentary) as I can (including editing grammer etc)
so far I think I only need to post 4 this way: the 2 lucid ones and 2 others one of which I was did buy a ticket in, (possibly one other tho where I was trying to buy something but was attacked by a pickpocketing dwarf before I could complete the purchase and the dream ended in the fight with him)
In any case I probably have around 100 points or so with about 40+ total dreams and a few fragments (with 2 lucids and a few possible extra non lucid points) and the seven day stretch points (too bad I couldn't make the three day lucid stretch too tho)
also I have switched back before these dreams to using Vanilla (I think I'm down to near to only 75% left, but this isn't bad as I used it for a week and like 3 weekends now, but it is $40 per capsule, oh well I now have a spare that came with my last order)
and since I got a decent score for the first hypnograph from S+ ResMed online here is the full online data shoing my descent score of 80 and the body and mind recharge (based on DEEP and REM)
Night 5, Night 6, Night 7: Very little recall and wasn't able to journal anything substantive.
Night 8
Spoiler for The Dreams:
I am mostly lucid and flying across town. I need to go get something from my house to bring back to some party. I can't go as fast as I want and wake up before I get there.
I DEILD into a scifi fantasy world. A woman is guiding me to a party in a secret base in a cave. I brought pizza with me. That must be what I was going to get. I find some circular disk shaped things and transform them into pizza too. I realize I should have done that in the previous dream. Occasionally I have to defend the cave against monsters.
First Recall your first lucid dream of the night (10.0)
Was induced via DILD (an additional 5.0)
Fly(4.0)
Subsequent Lucid Dreams: all methods (5.0)
Control another object or DC (5.0)
Night Total: 29
Night 9
Spoiler for The Dreams:
For some reason I have to take a potion that will make me appear dead and let me speak to ghosts but not actually kill me. I am transported to a road through a spooky town that leads to death. I am freaked out by the fact that it looks very familiar. The scene slowly fades and I wake up
Later in the morning I have a dream where there are several different tribes of people. These tribes hate each other and disagree on territory. I act as an ambassador and eventually get them all on good terms except one giant powerful tribe. We make a strike team that infiltrates their headquarters. It is an action packed shoot out.
Recall a full non-lucid dream (1.0)
Recall a full non-lucid dream (1.0) Night Total: 2 Competition Total: 49
Just when I'm almost done transcribing my S+ has deicded to go into permenant tracking mode
I may have to factory reset it or something
I'll likely lose the last night data but hopefully I can get it working again
It pairs and unpairs but won't sink up and even after being unpluged a long time goes back into tracking mode
and won't stop
Oh well I think I had 5 short dreams today and it doesn't affect me recording dreams, soon I should be able to make all synopsis and finally tally up points,
still only somewhere near 100 I think
I only recorded 5 audio last night of 6+min but I still have to go thru 29 min total it seems to take at least 4 - 5 minutes minimum to transcribe the dreams
(hopefully I wasn't talking too fast or sleepily)
Update I finally got thru trascribing my dream journal 20K words 100K characters (took many many hours) next Up I'll make some synopsis for each non lucid dreams and spoilers for the two lucids so far and any extra points ones, and then highlight moments (like the flaming clouds of the sky) or (the amazing hyper-realistic river view) or (the girl who jogged along with me as I went shopping for spoons) or (leaning my head against another persons head as I dozed off in a dream) and scary moments and stupid misses and missed dream signs.
I did lose my S+ data, I had to uninstall my app and then reinstall it and it said someone eles'es data was on the device and only option was to delete it even tho it was all of sunday night/ monay morning hypnogram. Oh well at least its working again, I think I'm gonna buy two or three back up S+ from ebay because I'm not sure they make them anymore and I'd hate not to have one for the future syncing with IoT for my detected REM.
hopefully it won't fail again to sync in the morning
and hopefully I'll get at least 6 days written up and won't fall to far behind form to nights audio dream recordings (only 7hrs of sleep time till I have to be up he he)
@KarlaB18 I supposedly needed to log in to something like google docs to see that sheet (I didn't log in) at least now with the below you can half fill my score up
also I am wondering as in my first Luicd below about limits on Personal Tasks per dream or per Night?? it is one per Dream, one per Night etc?
I probably had several fragments but didn't audio record notes so I'm planning to ignore them for now

I was out in the neighborhood zooming along on something (not sure what) There were people running around and a couple walking a dog. As I came to my own street I was on a bicycle, sometimes I could hear clicking from the spokes other times silence. I was leaning to each side and swerving left and right past and around people. As I roll into the driveway I notice the hood of a car is lowered down over some tools, I folded it up and there were a lot of rusty tools in a wheelbarrow. I set some more things from the street into the wheelbarrow and covered it back up. I noticed that one of the cars was open and looked a bit smashed up and had water in it. I scooped out the water from the back end of the damaged vehicle and then I closed the trunk. I noticed a wire with both ends stripped and messed with it for a bit. Next I notice that there are several other cars all around the driveway, they’re all old and a bit rusty and damaged. I go around the side of the house and a neighbor comes along. It is someone with roots in Pennsylvania (gleaned from our conversation) It is a tight fit past the side of the house and I see a hose, the kind that has holes to water evenly (at least at the far end). The yard is strange, it’s like on the side yard I'm a level and a half above the back yard where my many plants and trees are growing, and the water is flowing, I begin to waggle the hose side to side to make the streams water them. I water about half of them, I'm point to plants and am telling the guy about different red ones and how I need to trim the trees. Many of the trees appear to be in movable beds. I see someone down there and I yell "Hey Who’s that?" and they don't respond so I call out "time to go for the guns" then I hear a voice that I seem to recognize say like "whatever'. So I go in thru the house and quickly I'm down below and out back without ever having really gone thru the house. I'm coming out into the backyard and somehow I've gotten down all the way that I'm down a level and a half there's somebody moving all sorts of stuff around and I realize that they’re moving my plants and there's all sorts of tools apparently the tools are from when the house is originally built but there’s ridiculous amounts of tools for instance the guy that’s with me is holding a scrubby pad that he had picked up and I was I was saying that there are plenty of scrubby pads you should probably take it (it was one of those green and yellow combos scrubby pad packs) because there were scrubby pads stacked on top of a couple of piles. There where shelves upon shelves of all sorts of tools and one of them was interesting it was a 'corner chain saw' (it was a strange unknown type of chain saw in which the chain was set obliquely across a transverse section of an oval shaped track so that it could be used to cut around cylindrical objects and around corners) and as I looked at it instructions sort of appeared in my mind about how to cut thru all sorts of strange stuff including pans and it also mentioned "Vessen" (a reference to animal like humans from a TV show called GRIM) in the little instructions that I could see so I'm not sure why you would be able to cut "Vessen" in half but you could use this 'corner chain saw' and I was yelling at the person about my plants and why are you moving my plants but there were suddenly lots of people there they were shopping for these goods there were all kinds of caulking guns and there were all sorts of strange tools and things and so anyway as these sort of instructions were playing and I was thinking of the pan and I woke up

Initially, I had been in a house and I was trying to use my google mini to control various lights. I had something that looked like a little chrome cast device but it kept getting smaller and smaller. Then I dropped and had lost it in a bathroom where the floors were broken thru and it was flooding under the house. I finally found it and I was trying to get it to dry out and make sure it could still control things. I looked outside and there was a tree outside the room that had lights all over it, and candles, the tree had been cut back to where it was just wood it didn't have any leaves but someone had but candles and lights all over the tree so it was just like stumps of tree in all directions, with light fixtures and lights right on the ends of each little stumpy arm. A couple of my nephews were around and at one point I'd gone shopping with one of them but they went into a store that looked like it was a Japanese store, but we didn't buy anything we came back out and it was some point after that I was out in the street pushing a cart there was somebody in front of me on a bicycle, I pulled up my feet onto the cart and was zooming down the street after them, I noticed I crossed many roads, I began to be concerned about getting back but just kept going until I came to a waterfront area. I just kept zooming until eventually I came to like a waterfront. There was a Trail and many people and bicycles and another nearby road with many cars parking nearby. I saw a few female police and I was trying to ask them for directions back from here, but they ignored me. Other people told me that the other roads went thru, but they didn't, eventually I was following a river back towards where I had come from (this didn't make sense since I had come all downhill how could a river lead me back. I had noticed that there were many large and impressive houses. I found myself with three girls and we all had floating devices I was lying on mine in the river and they were standing on theirs and we were floating down the river. I noticed I wasn't wearing anything and neither were they. Eventually I reached a point where I knew it had to be a dream [I become Lucid] I find myself at the shore in a Mediterranean style house with arches. I see a woman who has a very unfortunate hole in her clothing, I grab her and 'interact with her for a bit' she begins to transform into something undesirable so I discard her. I become aware of the contest and as I enter a restaurant and shopping like area I decide it’s time for a little trump sign language MAGA-style. I look thru the crowd and find a likely girl and say to her "I have a message for you from trump" and grab her trump style, then I see a girl in a dress, I walk up, tell her the message and then give her the ole' one handed cheerleader lift Trump-style. The look on her face was priceless as she was lifted into the air, I was running my hand thru something but it wasn't hair next I see another girl and I give her the verbal message and grabbed her Trump-style, then pulled her in for a little interaction attention (since my goal was now complete) (I began to wish I had clarified whether you can do more than one goal per dream) I decided to do the run my fingers thru 3+ dc Hair. I see a girl sitting at a table with someone, she looks slightly black, and has had her hair straightened. I run my finger thru the hair but it feels hard and stiff and damaged and stringy. I look and see a more African looking girl with her hair looking like something out of the capital city of Panem. It seems to have silver metal triangles all over it sticking in all directions, I look and see another girl who looks like her hair had been done up to look like twigs and leaves form a tree. I begin to destabilize and wake.

non-lucid lucid
I am in a class room and I'm sort of looking over some papers on a desk other students are sort of talking and intimating that the real teacher is not there and then I notice a teacher but I don't know who it is and I assume it’s a substitute teacher they were kind of freaky looking. After that we end up on a bus somehow. The bus stops and we seem to be getting off, I hop down from the front door (having a bad knee in real like I hope down carefully onto my good leg). We were no longer with the freaky substitute teacher (I had been trying before the dream to fall asleep for a long time and I had taken to listening to an audio book of harry potter before finally giving up and falling asleep to white noise) anyway I swear that the leader of our group for our little outing looked just like professor Sprout from the movie. I began to descend a stair case of stone stairs near the bus. As I descended I was initially double stepping down each step first with my good leg then my bad. Soon however I noticed that I was gliding down, descending at an angle, and merely sometimes tapping my good foot on every other step or so. As I moved forward I also descended but I knew something was wrong, just then I spotted 'Phong' (an enemy in real life, he has to be right look at his name it even begins with 'Foe' and rimes with Wrong) I realize I am dreaming, but I want dream 'Phong' to realize it too. So I say to him as I descent "Hey Phong looks like I'm descending a bit slowly. I have come to the bottom of the steps now and am standing beside him, I jump (a jump test RC) and descend too slowly once again. Then I pull up my legs and pass an object beneath them saying "Oh Look Phong I'm kinda flying" he looks confused (many times I have tried to convince DC's they are not real in dreams but never really succeeded) at this point I decide to attack the 'Phong' I notice that he has a chain around his neck, like one of the beaded metal kind people use for dog tags. I grab him and grab the chain and try to choke him, but he doesn't not die, I try again and yet another fail. I grab his head and Twist his head violently to one side then the other, he survives both attempts. I decide to let him go. He runs away towards where I now see a woman that is supposedly his wife and his son (tho the son is too old to be his tiny baby from real life) He bolts right between them yelling "We gotta get outta here, NOW!" running for his life, his wife and then son take off after him, he runs out thru the kitchens or some such (for we are in a dining like area) I look around and notice I am in doors and try to fly up thru the ceiling to get back outside, but the ceiling is metal and I don't get thru, the dream begins to destabilize and I wake up.
Day 5 Total: 36 Points Contest Total: 80 Points
but I still need to write up synopsis of each dream and then go back and do my highlights
Meanwhile I have switched to using Lavender last night and tonight in AERA Lavender.jpg
Here is the Day 10 Hypnogram (Day 9 was lost but at least after reinstalling the app and repairing I got the thing working again, I am going to buy a few backup S+ by ResMed even tho I don't think they are sold by the manufacturer or retailers any more) Day10Sleep01.jpg
not sure yet as I had someone else act as a proxy bidder for another S+
but I think I have won one for, bid + shipping of $20.50
I originally paid $65.00 at bed bath and beyond at a half price sale (their price was $130.00 SMRP 149.95)
who knows if the company will continue to support them forever, but I think I'll be able to get a custom self made app to run dream detection in real time
so I need to buy some backups
looks like 4 dreams last night and I only recorded 2
12:30 and 3:30
looks like I missed a few good yellow bands (I swear I woke up for the 1:30 must have rolled over and gone back to sleep and clearly missed the 2:30)
I think I will try to buy a total of 4 back ups if I can get them for less than $33 eacd (which seems likely at the moment, I don't think they are being made anymore, but since the manufacturer is probably data mining sleep information they will likely continue to support via web, tho I think they are interested in people who fall asleep fast and stay asleep for the right amount of time, it offers me AI advice to improve my sleep, I just click IGNORE, Ye Fools perfect sleep is falling asleep fast, wakeing fast, rembering dream, rince & repeat)
hopefully I will get all dreams written up by tonight (then maybe go back for highlights soon, I usually write them for less experienced dreamers as they are moments from non-lucid dreams that try to show that there are great vistas, or great moments, or great humor, or great fear, or great comedy, and more often great-stupidity in even non-lucid dreams)
