Karla <3

I'd like to sign up for my first one of these contests

League: Beginner
Availability: 3-ish. Depends on how much I check the site. Though available, I am normally elsewhere on the internet.
Average lucidity rate: Uh, heh, maybe 1% of the time. I think I am about to get lucid though due to my more normalized sleep schedule and routine with MILD and dream journaling.

Thanks to whoever is organizing this contest!

Happy dreaming,
glen

Signing up!

League: Intermediate. I don't really know what the level of skill refers to, but it's certainly Intermediate if you mean dream control, but probably Beginner for attaining lucidity

Availability: 2-3

Lucidity rate: I'm back from a huge hiatus, so it's hard to tell. I've started a permanent technique that might eventually give me really high lucidity rates, but for now, I can maybe guarantee 1-2 per month.

Happy dreaming!

I've gotta sign myself up too! A horrible dry spell in August means I will be staying in the Beginners league. Availability = 4. My last lucid was a couple of weeks ago; about time I try for another one.

I would like to sign up, even though my availability next month is a big question mark due to a lot of things.

- My preferred league: Intermediate, I guess. Would help to know some guidelines for that.
- My availability: Let's say 2. It will vary.
- My average rate of lucidity: One or two lucids per month if there is no pressure. I'm putting more effort in, so I'm expecting that to go up.

Letaali: Intermediate league is for if you're on a good streak of non-lucids, regular recall at least one dream a day. And your lucids should be around twice a week. What other leagues have you been in for past DV competitions? I won't place you on a league yet until you confirm your decision.

I was in beginner or intermediate in one competition before, not sure. On the non-lucid front I'm good. I recalled 5 last night. It's 2-5 dreams each night, if I can sleep normally. But I probably won't have lucids twice a week. If you think intermediate is ok based on this info, I'm up for that. Otherwise I'm fine with beginner.

Letaali: Your dream recall sounds really good. So I'll put you in intermediate.

Might be a little late for this, but let me give some more info:

So I had a lucid dream on August 28, giving me two DILDs for this month and one (or two???) DEILDs as well. I don't really know how dream chaining works over here but I've heard that dream chains count as a single lucid dream. Since my new self-awareness ADA (which has been going on for about 10 days now) I've had one proper lucid dream, but I have no idea how this will go on. I can pretty much guarantee 2 per month, maybe more.

When it comes to dream recall, I had a very weird dryspell recently that lasted 2 days and completely deprived me of dream recall. Now I'm back out of it, everything's back to normal. My baseline is at least 2 dreams per night, but for me it really varies; most of the time I have 3-4 dreams, and sometimes I have spikes that go up to 8. So judging by everything I've seen in this thread so far, I'll stay in Intermediate.

I would like to join for this month!

League: Beginner
Availability: 4 - I'm guessing this is to know if I will post frequently? If that's the case then yes.
Lucidity Rate: 1 per week - I have begun implementing lucidity practices into my daily life only recently (After stopping for an extended period) , so this number is potentially unreliable but is my current goal at the moment.

Thank you again for setting this up!

This sounds like fun! Also it might help get LDing on my mind more throughout the day.

League: Beginner
Availability: 3 (I try to post my DJ every day or every other day, so I'll count up scores on that basis as well)
Lucidity Rate: Varies Widely (for instance, I just had 7 in the second half of this month doing a more intensive routine, but usually I average around 1 a week or when I'm not practicing at all, maybe 1-5 a month)

Good luck to everyone!
