Thread: Spectacular September Competition

I just woke from a truely epic LD

Before being lucid I bought some candy so +1 buy something non lucidly
I became Lucid for first time of the night in WBTB
so +10, +5, +2
I tripped 3 of 3+ DC so +15 New Goal
I took jewelery from 3 of 3+ DC so + 15 New Goal
then I saw that one of the DC I was interacting with had a hat so I took it but then took hats from another DC, then was about to take a hat from a third but then switched DCs
but here in lies the problem I took hats from the same two DC that I had taken necklaces from so they dont count so only 1 hat counted, but I took 3 hats in a lucid dream so now it becomes an old goal even tho +0 [Double Dipping Disqualified]

at one point in the dream I lost the dream scape and rubbed my hands for at least 1 minutes, almost giving up when I felt the bed beneath me ( I had tried to rub while getting up and was now bouncing on the bed beneath a blanket, and rubbing hands, thinking I must be awake, but I just rubbed on and a dreamscape appeared, Then I almost made the mistake of repeating some of the same goals in this but realized it was still the same dream) I then went on to kiss quite a few DC but for the first several I was actaully tasting them the first few tasted of Grape Jelly, the Third of Apricott I think, then I was looking for other DC to sample but ended up doing a lot more, I then went on hunting and deeply interacted with one eventual DC after which I resumed hunting I kissed at least 6 DC but one of them was from the necklace / hat debacle so I can only count 5 or of 7+ DC kissed for sure, (I may have kissed more the dream lasted so long who knows)
Total estimated Lucid time nearly 10 minutes.

(I just checked the hypno gram it missed all my earlier dreams from the night then shows my long wbtb (where I watched TV in bed on a tablet for more than an hour) then it shows Yellow REM for the last 1/8 of an hour so only 7.5 Min or so, but I'm sure this dream lasted longer between the lucid portions Void portion and prior non lucid portions (I was even in the candy shop for quite a bit perhaps 2-3 minutes and can remember back even further

In any case I make this lucid worth +1+10+5+2+15+15 = 48 points
goals achieved
Take 3+ Jewlery from DC
Trip 3+ DC

Goal downgraded from New to now Old goal Take Hats from 3+ DC

I'll write up full spoiler latter, but I'll have to leave a lot out especially my deep interactions with DC and glaze over all the post goals hunting of DC

Sep. 18th

First lucid of the night: 10
DILD: 5
Reality check: 5

Running total: 74.5

Second night in a row

Although this one was really short-lived, I'm counting it as a lucid as I was able to successfully complete a reality check and worked remarkably well. I usually have an issue with the finger push reality check, either feeling like I'm hurting my hand or the process taking too long.

Nice job Bridger! I used to have trouble with the fingerpalm too, even now sometimes I get resistance before it sort of "pops" through, like there's high surface tension.

Thanks ZAD! I'm trying to work on imagining the finger push in reality just simply pushing through easy, like a jello consistency.

I'm also feeling a lucid tonight I get to sleep in, and I'm feeling confident. Here we go!


Current dream goal: Slow it down, get grounded, notice your body first then your surroundings, walk to a nice place and sit down, say "I would like to speak with you [subconscious] now", have a conversation.

Had a weird, short, non-visual lucid and an interesting semi-lucid where I was aware that I could control my surroundings and how to do it, but wasn't aware that I was dreaming or of the idea of a dream in the first place.

Fourth night in a row

Last night's lucid was another short lived attempt. The good thing about it, though, was that I told myself that I was feeling lucid for last night and it ended up happening. Mindset can go a long way in getting to those critical moments. I will try to keep that mindset going and shoot for two nights in a row of lucids! Here we go.

Had a nice longer lucid this morning! Tried lots of stuff and enjoyed the scenery. I was pretty excited that I remembered a new stabilization method (doing simple math) and I remembered to do it every 30 seconds or so, or each time something would throw me off. Only one NL that I can remember though, my recall has been suffering a bit lately, can't tell what's causing that.

Not sure of my running total either...I think I'll put together a spreadsheet for calculations and post it at the month's end.

Almost a lucid this morning. I'm surprised I wasn't immediately aware of the dream with the crazy vividness at the end. It's the first time in a while that I've noticed vibrant colors popping out at me. Potentially because it was in a place that I knew well was the reason for not questioning it more. Ready for more lucids tonight!

Sixth night in a row


Didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night as I decided to spontaneously go out with some friends to the bars. Probably why so many dreams I have revolve around bars, including last night's. Sounds like a dream sign to me! I need to incorporate them into my daily routines to get a better feel for certain situations I can find myself in while dreaming.

Cool, very vivid (but short) lucid. Probably the most DCs I've ever seen! Also 3 nights lucid in a row, this is a first for me I think!

Seventh night in a row: 7

Running total: 114.5

I managed to become lucid this morning but instead of going on a rampage it was more of an anti-rampage
I focused on 1 DC and did four different things, (|) smack, topside (.)(.) grab, kiss and grabbed trump style, then i moved on to one other DC
but pretty much this LD will end up being worth all of 10 + 5 + 2 = 17 points.

Hopefully I'll write up all my points soon

After a week-long dry spell, had the most lucids I've ever had in one night I split them up into the initial lucid, the first lucid chain, and the lucid dream chain for convenience. But unfortunately since I dove right back in each time via WILD/DEILD or falling asleep and DILDing, I didn't write the lucids down and lost a lot of them. Still was an awesome experience, I got to meet my dream guide (and later summon him/her) and tried something I had been meaning to, asking my subconscious to play music!

Good luck to everyone, we're in the homestretch!

Hey all, been very busy in the past week. Sorry about not putting together a scoresheet, I was lazy. I need to finish getting my DV dream journal up to date and once I've done that. I will post a tally of your scores on this thread. Great job on the dreams everyone. If you're interested, go and signup for October: https://www.dreamviews.com/lucid-cha...ml#post2230128

I managed to become lucid last night but only for the basic 10+5+2 = 17
then after sleeping all day I finally became lucid again but again for just a basic 5+5+2 = 12 (assuming you can have more than one WBTB success per day I'll read rules latter)

I had many other non lucids today (I'll check my recordings later but maybe 10+ of them)
most other days only like 1 - 3 dreams per worknight over the past week tho
