Objective Of The Competition

Explore your dreams and in the process of that, explore yourself! Discover who you are. The points run the same as the last competition. There is a fighting chance for non-lucid dreams, just so they can have some fun too but their standard tasks are capped at 1.0 and advanced at 2.0 (except for the reality check which will only apply for successful lucids), that way, performances by lucid dreamers aren't threatened and if you keep the lucids going, you'll win anyway. But remember, with me, it's all about the fun and improving the general quality of your dreams, including recall. As I have more experience, there will also be some specific team tasks which will have a set high number for lucid dreams and will be capped at 5.0 for non-lucid dreams.


Non-lucid only aspects:
- Recall a full non-lucid dream (1.0)

- Recall a non-lucid fragment (0.5)

- Recall any non-lucid dream over 3 consecutive nights - Can't skip a night or the chain will be broken (an additional 3.0)

- Recall any non-lucid dream over 5 consecutive nights - Can't skip a night or the chain will be broken (an additional 5.0)

- Recall any non-lucid dream over 7 consecutive nights - Can't skip a night or the chain will be broken (an additional 7.0)
NOTE: Once you have completed the 7 night chain, you will have to start your chain again. So the 7 chain would be an expected maximum of 4 times.

Lucid only aspects:
- Recall your first lucid dream of the night (10.0)

- Was induced via DILD (an additional 5.0)

- Was induced via WILD (an additional 5.0)

- Was induced via WBTB (an additional 2.0)

- Subsequent Lucid Dreams: all methods (5.0)


- Recall a lucid dream over 3 consecutive nights - Can't skip a night or the chain will be broken (an additional 9.0)

- Recall a lucid dream over 5 consecutive nights - Can't skip a night or the chain will be broken (an additional 12.0)

- Recall a lucid dream over 7 consecutive nights - Can't skip a night or the chain will be broken (an additional 15.0)
NOTE: Once you have completed the 7 night chain, you will have to start your chain again. So the 7 chain would be an expected maximum of 4 times.

Help With Points
Example Scenario:

___Non-Lucid
The sky was grey, a bird was swooping down viciously towards me. I thought he was going to peck my eyes out. I cried "Help! I'm not invincible!". My dream guide appeared and acted as a barrier between me and the bird. The bird hit her but nothing of hers was affected, she was indeed invincible. She then took me to the city and pointed to a homeless man sitting in front of the book store, I decided to give him $10. After that, I met Lisa in the cafe, who is my DV comp team member in real life. Just as another DV team member Grace was walking in, the dream ended.

Full NL dream = 1.0
Summon DG = 1.0
Help someone in need = 1.0
Meet a team-mate = 1.0 for Lisa, 0.5 for Grace = 1.5
TOTAL POINTS = 4.5

___Lucid
The sky was grey, a bird was coming down towards me in slow motion. "I'm dead", I thought until I looked down at my fingers and noticed six of them. "Hang on... it's a dream!", I said to myself. I had control now, I breathed the element of Earth which repelled the bird away in the opposite direction. The dream then took me to the city. I could explore but I knew there was more potential, so I summoned my dream guide to ask her what I should do. She appeared and pointed to a homeless man sitting in-front of the book store, I decided to give him $10. After that, I met Lisa in the cafe, who is my DV comp team member in real life. Just as another DV team member Grace was walking in, the dream ended.

First lucid of the night = 10.0
DILD method = 5.0
Breathe an element = 6.0
Summon a dream guide = 10.0
Help someone in need = 4.0
Meet a team-mate (Lisa) = 7.0
Additional team-mate (Grace) = 3.0
TOTAL POINTS = 45.0

damn, and I thought I was skilled. Maybe Fireflyman is advanced after all.

@9sk

Er... Seems ya need to adjust the scores a bit. Every first LD gives 10 points in addition to 5 points based on if its a DILD/WILD, plus a possible additional 2 for WBTB. At a glance, you'll need to add about 12 points.

Also, there's still a few weeks. Plenty of time for you to get to the top.

Sorry for not posting in a while guys. Man, I'm going through some horrible dry spell again!!! Currently still on 30.0 points as of Dream No. 373. Also, 9sk, if your dream guide appeared and you were lucid, that's 5.0 points... But if they appeared and you were non-lucid, then that's only 0.5 points.

To bad I didn't join competition (or at least yet) I had 3 Lucid dreams this morning, tho I hadn't had any others this month yet :)

Heh, a personal task right in my grasp, and I let it go so easily. But I ain't even mad. :sheepishgrin:

So, this dream is kinda... weird because I didn't declare lucidity, but I did refer to the soul mate, who usually only appears in lucid dreams, and manipulated the scenery with great control. So I think I will count this as low-level lucidity, if you don't mind.

Recall LD: 10
Created new dream character: 40 (This character was a mirror who had lines on it to look like a face. It seemed cruel and ruthless from what I've seen.)

Total: 125

(With Karla's points, total is 159, still not good enough... Fireflyman might not even need Az--though he seems AFK-- here XD)

Oh shoot, I missed the post saying I can still join on the 10th. It got lost in my emails. I’m jumping in tonight then if nobody objects. It looks like there are two weeks left.

My old personal goals are: ask a DC or the dream what I should focus on in my life, face my fear of the ocean and dive in, face my fear of sea creatures and go up to one, create a grassy green scene, ask a DC where they live and what they are doing.

New goals: summon my husband, show him how to fly, look under ground, ask what the copper cups mean, ask why I always dream anout ponds and rivers.

recall fragment: 0.5
recall full dream: 1
total: 160.5

I just hope Az doesn't completely solidify his team's victory... XP

@Azaleaj

Eh, the first LD of each night gives 10 points, plus 5 for its type (DILD or WILD), and a possible additional 2 for WBTB. Thus, for July 20, that would be at least 15 points for your LD alone, for a presumed total of 18 for the day.

Thank you fireflyman, I fixed my points. Excited to put in a big effort tonight!

Thank you. I love these competitions. Just that little bit of extra motivation is so helpful. You are doing great too! How long have you been lucid dreaming?d

@Azaleaj

Ah, thanks for the compliment! Well, I've began journaling and practicing LDs for over four years. But, I only really started doing so more consistently about two and a half years ago. How 'bout yourself?

• Some dream about computer problems?

here is where it get ambiguous, I created some copper orbs and put them together, declaring it to be a robot, intending to abuse the 40 points awarded on dreamview (explicitly referring to this in the dream). Does this count as creating a dream character? Well, I mean, the dream faded away before I could bring it to life, so I don't think it counts.

I’m really jealous. Can I ask what techniques you use? I do WBTB and MILD with an occasional supplement.

Okay, so I'm probably getting overly competitive, and at this point I should probably just say three attempts is good enough and that I shouldn't abuse the 40 point team task anymore, otherwise I'm gonna keep attempting it. This will be the last time I count it for this month.

Recall non-LD: 1

Recall LD: 10
DILD: 5
Created a character: (The character had already introduced himself but barely showed their face. I finished their looks-- a clear requirement for the team task-- which looked like a cross between Gilderoy Lockhart and the lead singer of Night riots, and completed their backstory, stating firmly that dreamview would accept this, so, uh... I guess sure? But as stated before, I should probably draw the line here.) 40

Heheh, no need to feel that way. Judging by your dream count, you've got way more LDs than I did in my first two years of sincere LDing, over twice as much! Right now, I prioritize WBTB and WILD. I also do regular prospective memory tests mixed with reality checks, plus 15+ minutes of meditation daily.

At a park with my niece, Judith, along with a fancily dressed girl my niece's age. I mentioned my finding some peculiarly large caterpillars in a place like this. We browse around for such. Eventually, I find a nasty clump of such wriggling in a clump of grass. I then spot a big slug by a sidewalk.

I became lucid while the dream almost ended, so I quickly summoned a guy who looked like the profile picture of Fireflyman. I immediately shot him with laser eyes by concentrating greatly.

I’m disappointed I didn’t do better. I had trouble focusing when doing WBTB and then had trouble sleeping a couple of nights. Hopefully I’ll do better next time. Good job everybody. Looks like there are some talented dreamers here��

Azaleaj: Just keep it up, go sign up for the August competition and see if you do better then. Near the end of this comp, I had plenty of nights of dry spells.

@9sk
Ya got me. Well played. :chuckle:

@Azaleaj
Don't be disappointed. You did well. As KarlaB18 has said, you probably just got hit by a dry spell, is all.

As for my own morning... :tomato:

Jolting July Dreaming Competition 2018 - Day 29

Fragments (2) - 1 point

Sub-total: 1 point
Competition Total - 499.5 points

LD: 10 points

3 fragments: 1.5
helped out someone:1
controlled an object:1
here is where it gets ambiguous. I held out my right hand in a position that usually signifies I am using mind-control, but I used it to help ground myself and use my usual time-rewind power which feels like sucking my stomach in. Do I get the 5 points for "control object using sight only"?

I will say no. Time-rewind control is using a feeling in my gut, not my sight. I can time-rewind without my sight. Therefore, not extra bonus points.

Nevertheless, Time travel earns me 2 points (though I was rewinding an object, not myself, I think it still counts)

ask for advice: 1
subtotal:16.5
total: 449

I actually looked back and realized I forgot to add streak points. Across 6th to 8th, I had three non-LD's recalled in a row, so 3 bonus points. From 6th to 10th, there was five non-LD's in a row, so 5 more points.
final total: 457

That's a wrap on my end.

@9sk
Oof. It almost seemed as if you was gonna slingshot to the top. Had me quite nervous this last week.
