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 Introduced via DILD (an additional 5.0)

- Was Introduced via WILD (an additional 5.0)

- Was Introduced 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

Goodness me, did the previous post just completely disappear? I apologize if this one will turn out to be a duplicate.

...Well, what a way to start the Spectacular September Competition with a highly non-spectacular lucid dream...

For about a week now I'm teased with lucid dreams where I know I'm dreaming, but my System 2 never activates and I end up not doing anything, I'm like "Sure, I'm dreaming, so what?". I think I know how to fix these. I'll count this one as a lucid dream but if further ones turn up, adieu!

Sep 1-2 dreams

0.5 - non-lucid fragment
1 - full non-lucid dream
10 - lucid dream
5 - induced by DILD
2 - induced by WBTB
Total: 18.5 points

I accomplished perfectly nothing in this lucid dream since I didn't even know I could... those are so annoying.

My personal goals:

-See four spatial dimensions at once
-See eleven spatial dimensions at once (curse you Letaali...)
-See in isometric vision
-See without depth perception, objects no longer appear smaller when further away
-Develop infrared vision and be able to see through black objects
-Be able to control everything with finger snapping
-Control the day/night cycle by moving the sun and moon as if the sky was a touchscreen
-Improvise a piano piece (and be able to recall it when I wake up)
-Fly while holding hands with my crush
-Meet hobbits
-Ride a dragon
-Have a dragon ride ME
-Spend a whole lucid dream (until the awakening and beyond?) progressing in a Portal testing sequence generated on the go
-Build a transmutation engine

And these are all I can remember for now, let's make that my list, it's certainly shorter than cooleymd's, but who cares, I probably won't complete them ALL by the end of September anyway.

Well I became lucid at 10:30 this morning

noticing my shoes were incomplete I held one foot over the other and imagined completing them ,It worked, I realized I was dreaming, I got up and jumped (RC jump test) and then I flew, but I false awakened, I was in bed and could hear somebody leaving but I wasn't fooled, I got out of bed jump tested again (because I had no cloths on) and then flew down the hall, then opened the door and flew out. I could see it was a bit dark and there were several apartment like buildings straight ahead. I decided to RAMPAGE and decided I need to use a verbal command to help me (as I had looked around I had seen DC that looked about 80% real and 20% computer generated, but they were spread out and far apart) so I yelled "DREAMSCAPE add DCs, LOTS of DCs" Immediately they begin to swarm out of the doors of the appartment like buildings at least several dozen of them near together, latter more continued to swarm out. I decided as I approached them that these DC looked about 95% human and 5% comptuer generated. I went for the topside, but after the first 2 DC I noticed some female statue like things hanging on the wall and I strarted grabbing those and counting them, then I became distracted after counting to four then I did a test of a different possible goal, then finally I continued along the cooridor deciding to smack some backside, as I reached the fifth DC I had lost the dreamscape and then woke.

So Lucid +10, DILD +5, WBTB +2, Jump Test +5, Fly +4, repeated things ZERO, (2 out of 5+) Topside EPIC FAIL, (5 out of 5+) back side NEW goal +15

so total lucid 41 points a few other nld still trying for more :)


BTW using verbal commands is something I have rarely done, but when I do, it is among the most effective control technique especially when you address the dreamscape directly. Also I do not consider the addition of dozens of DC to the dream scape to be Summoning A DC so I didn't coun't any points, they did not materalize under my control, I commanded the dreamscape, and the immediately flowed out of doors and also walked in from the sides of my field of vision

I suggest you try some verbal commands I could for instance have shouted instead 'dreamscape: daylight now', but if I had yelled something super specific like 'dream scape: make it rain cats and dogs (litterally)' and this had happened I would coun't that goal

Sept 2

One non-lucid and 2 fragments. 2 points.

Adjusting my sleep, hopefully sleeping better on following nights.

Personal goals:

-Reach the Frozen Planet and explore the mountain.
-Learn to better control fear in dreams.

I like to stay focused, so those are all my personal goals for now. The contest already has a huge list of tasks and summoning dream guide is on there, which I would put as my goal, if it wasn't.

DJ Entry for Morning of Sep 2

So this is what it came out to:
Dream (dog & school, dog & living room)
Dream (sinking in the well, cousin is "3", demogorgon)
Dream (intruder in weapons man's house, 1950's NOLA)
Dream (Sonic with fiance)
Dream Frag (fiance, ice cream, bowling alley)
Dream Frag (waves & train tracks, sasquatch)
Dream Frag (boss & spider dust)

So for these nonlucids, would this count as (fragments)(3x0.5) + (dreams)(4x1), or would it just be 1.5 total (only counting the first fragment and first dream)? I think it would be 5.5 but just want to make sure.
Good job with your first night everyone! I think I'm going to get lucid tonight, I have a good feeling about it :thumbup:

Personal Goals:
[] FLY! (with full sensation and stability)
[] Visit the zeppelin/floating city/bathhouse (dream world I've been trying to incubate)
[] Meet the dream characters from this world (Lady M, Hugo, and the others who have come to me in visualizations)

Secondary Personal Goals:
[] Summon my fiance & dog in a lucid dream and take them on an adventure
[] Ask my subconscious for a profound sensory experience
[] Stay in a lucid dream for over 2 minutes
[] Enter a tornado

Sep 2-3 dreams

Why do I already have 3 followers? Who is workwithlapo and webinarstarterblueprint? Are these fellow Dreamviewers or random people who discovered my DJ by accident despite the fact that I set it to hidden and it's therefore invisible to search engines?

Anyway... last night was a bit of a disappointment, my fault, I should've gotten lucid... I'll retry tonight and hopefully succeed this time...

3 dreams and 1 fragment, 3*1+0.5 = +3.5 points for tonight.

DJ Entry for Morning of Sep 3

I got lucid again! I've been having a good feeling every night before bed when I look up at the sky. Also had a lot of nonlucid fragments and dreams.

Score:
10 (Lucid) + 5 (DILD) + 2 (WBTB) + Transform (6) [23]
+ 4 * 0.5 (Fragments) [2]
+ 6 * 1 (Dreams) [6]
=====================
31

Quick question as this is my first competition: as far as fragment/dream tallying goes, I've been counting a dream as something I can remember the beginning, middle, and end of, and only counting once for each sequence of scenes that are connected. Fragments being any other sliver of memory. Does this make sense?

Goodness me... I ALMOST got lucid... I swear tonight I will be lucid like crazy...

Sep 3-4 dreams

2 fragments + 3 full dreams = 4 points, +3 for a streak of 3 consecutive nights = +7 points

I did an RC but I didn't get lucid, so no points for that :(

I had figured I wouldn't get lucid last night due to little sleep time, drinking before bed, etc. But I have literally no memory from my head hitting the pillow to the clock telling me I was almost late for work, so big fat 0 for me today.

Sorry, I have been away for the first few days of the September competition on vacation. I'm back now and ready to jump right in!

Personal Goals:
- Talk to my subconscious. Ask them to show me what full lucidity is like / help me become lucid in the future
- Look around a future- looking cityscape. Watch all the people moving around doing their daily routine.
- Visit a countryside cottage and experience the feeling of euphoria

Ambitious Goals:
- Move the moon closer to Earth. Try moving it so close that it's actually barely touching the ground without it crashing into it. Walk between the two surfaces and gravities.

Sep. 4th

Non-lucid fragment: .5

Running total: .5

Points so Far:

Day One: Sat 9/1 - Sun 9/2
+6 6 Non-Lucid Dreams
3:40a, 4:40a, 5:10a, 6:20a, 9:05a, 9:35a

If only my audio dream journal sounded as good as those Hypnograms look, I'd have a lot more points

DJ Entry for Morning of September 5

I had a better recall than yesterday this morning, but again I really had to lie still and reach for them...not getting enough sleep lately. On a positive note, my dream signs are becoming clearer, so I think I'll start trying to work them into my routine and mantras/visualizations more often.

Score for today:
4 * 1 (dreams) + 2 * 0.5 (fragments) = 5

I have a good feeling about getting lucid tonight. Good luck all!

Thanks ZAD!

I gave myself a little advantage last night by taking some supplements which probably helped me out there :P

DJ Entry for Morning of September 7

Running total:
47

Which supplements Bridger? Once in a blue moon I'll take melatonin for REM Rebound but after reading Yuschak I'm tempted to try the Galantamine + Choline Bitartrite "lucidity trigger". But it's always good to hear first-hand accounts that actually worked! :D

Quick update from me: I won't have Internet access until September 12 or so, therefore I won't be updating this thread for quite some time.
In the meantime I've had quite a few non-lucids and sleepless nights. I had a lucid dream last night but I can't provide a dream journal entry yet, and nothing meaningful happened there, I didn't remember my goals, etc. I was just aware I was dreaming while I listened to an explanation of why the integral from -1 to 1 of 1/x dx is divergent and not zero (the day before I had an "enlightenment" of why it is so). There was one more dream where I RCed a lot but didn't get lucid. I think I might be very close to using autosuggestion to generate frequent, fully conscious lucid dreams, but that was supposed to happen almost a week ago and it hasn't happened yet for numerous reasons. I don't know if there's a point in me participating in this competition at all. I don't have any chances of winning. That said, I'm not aborting the competition just yet, only don't expect updates until my Internet is back.

fourth night in a row


I used Claridream Pro the other night ZAD. It was an indigogo kickstarter project started by the group at World of Lucid Dreaming. It has a combination of ingredients in it, the main one being the Chinese Clubmoss extract which contains the Huperzine-A that effects dream quality and clarity. They were originally going to use galantamine instead of this, but something fell through. I feel that it would have been a stronger supplement if they stuck with that. Otherwise, however, I enjoy using it! I definitely feel a noticeable difference whenever I use it. It is not as powerful as when I use galantamine with choline though. That combination gives me frequent sleep paralysis and better awareness both as I'm falling asleep as well as when I'm dreaming. A great way for inducing WILDs if you have trouble initiating them otherwise. I would definitely recommend trying it out if you get the chance!

In the meantime I've had quite a few non-lucids and sleepless nights.

There was one more dream where I RCed a lot but didn't get lucid. I think I might be very close to using autosuggestion to generate frequent, fully conscious lucid dreams, but that was supposed to happen almost a week ago and it hasn't happened yet for numerous reasons.

Hey misotanni, I'm sorry to hear that you are having some falling outs with your practices. I know for me that motivation is a key factor in how much I end up practicing and keeping my self awareness at a higher level. That being said, I believe that this "competition" is a great way to keep motivation high and stay in touch with fellow oneironauts. I think that you should most definitely stay in this competition after you are back from your break for those reasons. I don't think that this is at all about winning, but to better yourself as a dreamer and improve over time. You can look back on this competition in the future and see how far you've come if you keep up the practice. For me this is the most rewarding idea.

Thanks for the update misotanni. Hopefully you'll be able to get some good dreams soon. Don't feel pressured to win the competition; the main aim of this game is to have fun and use this competition as a tool for assessing your goals and maintaining your stability, that being, at your own pace. But at the same time, you do what you feel is right. Keep up the dreams everyone, I'm uploading a new batch to DV as I speak (post this).

I'm really sorry about my availability. University courses started again, so I spent a few late nights with old and new students and now I'm fairly sick so it's unsure if my sleep will get better anytime soon. I did get lucid just now, during the 4h of sleep I managed to get. I'll try to get some dreams written down in my DV DJ and link here later.

Edit: Here's the dreams.

Two fragments and one lucid dream. So 11 points? Total 13 points.

DJ Entry for Morning of September 8

Got lucid again yesterday morning! Finally broke my personal goal of a 2 minutes+ dream.
Also got lucid this morning but it'll take a while to write that one up lol (a good problem to have! :D). Will hopefully post it tomorrow!

September 8 Score:

10 (lucid) + 5 (DILD) + 2 (WBTB) + X (personal goal) [17 + X]
+ 3 * 1 (dreams) [3]
+ 3 * 0.5 (fragments) [1.5]
= 21.5 + X

Running total: 68.5 + X

Not sure how to score these:
Personal goal achieved -- 2+ minute lucid dream (how many points is X?)
Shot ice from fingers -- does this count as "breah an element" or is that strictly like "fire breathing" from your mouth or just "fire bending"?
Just generally -- am I scoring all this right? For example should I be stacking Lucid (10), WBTB (2), and DILD (5)?

Nice job ZAD! Awesome to hear that you got one of your personal goals knocked off the list. In terms of scoring, I think you've done a great job so far. It's basically the same as I've been scoring myself. With the lucid induction points (WILD, DILD, etc..) I think that the intention was to have only one apply to each lucid dream. However, I can see how you combined WBTB with a DILD so I believe that the scoring should be kept the same on that. Your variable X that represents scoring for completing your personal goal should be worth 10 points. This comes from the basic dream tasks list on the first page, and since you were lucid for it, it counts as such. For the breathe an element challenge, I'm not exactly sure what that entails. The first thought that comes to my mind is actually breathing something in (eg. breathing in fire or water, or potentially an actual element, say helium) and noting its effects or how it feels. However, it can be open to interpretation. I would bring it up with KarlaB18 and see what she has to say about it.

Once again, amazing job so far! Keep up with the dreams.

Hey ZAD,

As the task specifies "breathing an element", I am going to say that shooting ice from the fingers does not score. If the task was "Utilise an element", then it would score. In regards to that X on your scoring system; if it's a personal goal you set this month, then that's 15 points. If it's an ongoing personal goal from previous months, then that's 10 points. By the way, congratulations on that BIG lucid, I look forward to reading it.

EDIT: Oh hang on, the ice came out as a stream... Give yourself the points. I would classify that as your fingers breathing ice.

I managed to get lucid on Saturday Monring and then had a rare First awakening Lucid Dream (that I almost didn't remember) just after Midinite this morning

in the first Lucid I managed to punch 7 elves (ugly ones) in the face (they coun't as DC, I would coun't any living thing even animals as DC, tho many goals would only apply to humanish ones)
in todays Lucid I was barely aware of the contest and mostly just hunting DC in general (but I did actually attempt some things that could have counted if they hadn't failed, as well as happen to do a partial goal +ZERO for that)

Spoiler for Elf Punching:

Non-Lucid Lucid
Upon Reflection, My first recollection of the dream I had been in an Asian restaurant and there was somebody with me and I was trying to go off and see if another place was open and I had just walked off to go and talk to a guy in more of a diner about getting some other kind of food for this other person and I'd left some of my stuff, there was a lot of mess and just before I had gone off to see if they had some other things I said "Man, why don't they clear this stuff away?" and for some reason I kept wiping stuff up I had like a towel and I wiped the table but it was so wet, I had like other paper towels and I was wiping with several towels because I didn't want the towels to get too wet to pick up the moisture. So when I had gone off and come back that other guy told me that area was open until 10. When I got back the guy was gone and I had been cleared away from the Asian type restaurant I had been in, and there was an Asian girl roaming around but as soon as I'd left she had just cleared away my stuff so as I was leaving I said "Well, no tip for them", this was just before I got on a bus somehow, I don't know exactly how I got on the bus. The bus was moving along a dirt road and there were a whole bunch of people out on the road we were on. I was in the driver’s seat but the driver was up on the roof driving and so I wasn't really doing anything. There was a girl in the seat next to me, and I was throwing little specks of something out the window. Out on the road there was a girl out there and at first it seemed like she had sort of silver hair, but when we got closer she was like an Asian girl but I was telling the bus driver like “look at that she's got translucent hair” or something but when we got closer her hair wasn't translucent, so anyway then we've gone around a corner and I found myself out of the bus or I'd gotten out of the bus and I'm walking along and I want to see people’s faces and everything’s kind of blurry when I look around but when I get close to people their faces are in focus so I came across a black guy and his face was fine I came across another black person so I realize that the reason I'm looking at their faces is because I want to see if they are changing in the dream so I know I'm in a dream so then I say (intending to cause indirect summonation inside the door I see just ahead) "Oh are the cheer leaders in there?" (Because I wanted to find three cheerleaders like in a previous dream from the day before) So I then go into this store and I'm looking for the cheerleader section, but I'm tall and I can see over a lot of stuff, and it’s like different little boxed off areas but I can't really see anybody, but then when I get around to where I can see them they’re all little elves (at this point I'm thinking I can kiss 7+ of them) but they have strange faces (almost clown-like or alien-like, one looked like his face was merged with a hockey mask) and some of them are small, but so I decide that I'm gonna punch a bunch of them (and just to make sure I plan to punch NINE (there are at least a dozen of them around)) so I walk right up and I punch one of them in the face really hard and there’s little younger sorts of elves and they're sort of scurrying off, but I punch a second one as he's trying to get away but I punched him, and then I go back around the other side (the boxed in counter like areas are keeping most from escaping) and I punch a third, fourth (using both Right and Left punches now), a fifth, a sixth then a seventh elf (which I count as dream characters) so I managed to punch seven elves in the face [+10 Points OLD GOAL Punch 7+ DC] then I woke up

Spoiler for A bit of DC Hunting on the camping trial:

Non-Lucid Lucid
I recall that there were a few scenes before I was on the trail but I can’t remember what they were. So I was on some kind of a trail and I knew that I needed to get to another location (the dream’s goal) like a camp or something and so on the way there I was going to do some various things but I began to realize the people on the trail weren’t very real (thus I became Lucid) so I started grabbing and messing with several different females I had noticed a few good looking girls nearby and I did grab two of them topside (.)(.) But again this wasn’t exactly a contest goal and I also kissed the same couple of girl's (.)(.) but that wasn’t exactly in line with the kiss DC goals either :sheepishgrin: but I wasn't really trying to do any of the specific goals on my list so after I had interacted with those DCs I got distracted somehow by some kind of a film but I was thinking this is a dream and I need to get back to where I'm trying to go (the Dream’s goal not mine so a bit pseudo-lucid at this point) so I also wanted to punch a few people who were getting in my way because I knew it was a dream but I didn't have to because they got out of my way. So basically I was just doing a normal amount of DC hunting inside the dream (not really aware of the contest much at all), and then when I was waylaid by watching the TV (Film) I was thinking I could do things and I did try to do a hand summonation, I wanted to summon a DC to be with me while I was wasting time (fairly Lucid but a bit confused at this point), because I realized if I'm wasting my time I might as well do something else and so began attempting to do the DC summonation I put my hand behind my back in a nook along a wall and reached around for a hand to grab me imagining a girl would take my hand for many seconds but none did. Then I began trying to get on down the trail to whatever the ultimate goal of the dream was (not any goal of mine but again to fulfill the dream’s goal by reaching the camp or whatever so I was only sort of partially lucid at this point. I began to destabilize, I did attempt to stabilize during the dream but it was too late I was already awake and was rubbing my real hand against my fingers.

Day 8 Total: 21 points
Contest Total: 119 points (after correction because one of the non lucid I had counted was actually the lucid and there was no dream at 10:30 at least none recalled)



Ok I have updated LUCIDS with spoilers. I should reallly do a spoiler for the day before the first lucid for the three cheerleaders in the bizzare bathroom I was almost lucid in. But in that one but didn't earn any points, tho I was thiniking of spanking one of the cheer leaders if only it had been a dream, a making a mental note to do so If I was ever in a dream like this especially since there were three of them to cheer smack, and then after exiting the bathroom I went around behind the building to check if there were any more cheerleaders back there. The earlier part of this bizzare bathroom dream (a dream sign) was very disgusting and messed up

Thanks Bridger and KarlaB18 for the scoring advice!
For the 8th, I'll say the ice doesn't count as breathing the element as it wasn't really intentional but just something cool to do in the moment. Also, I didn't have the competition or that goal in mind at the time of the act. For my personal goal I achieved, it's been something I've been trying to achieve for the last couple of months so I'll give it a 10. Also for the future I think it makes sense to only count my lucids as 10 because the only way I ever get lucid is via WBTB and DILD anyway :D It's a little confusing as it's my first competition so thanks again for the clarification. And good job everybody on getting lucid and overall great recall. Keep at it!

I'm having some pretty vivid parts to all my dreams, and I'm starting to remember more than just one each night, or rather writing them down as separate dreams rather than continuations. I just need to practice more on awareness now so I'm better able to get lucid. Probably thinking more about it during the night will help as well.

Spoiler for Calf a kiss:

Non-Lucid Lucid
In the first part of the dream I was in my house and I was looking out a window and then out the open front door, I could see a bus stop in the yard with several people standing at it. I decided that mabye I had some time before I had to catch the bus and I could do some stuff and then go somewhere, but then it turned out I didn't have time and the bus showed up and left. I went outside anyway and suddendly I was driving a car across the lawn and parking it in the driveway, I had to drive past my actual car that was already parked there and turn towards the house on the far side of it. I somehow crashed into the house, as I looked to see how it happened I saw that a pipe was sticking out of the car on the driver side, but when I looked at the house there seemed to be pipes sticking out of the house as well that had deflected the pipe sticking out from the car. But when I looked out the front window again I could now see that an entire hood of a car was sitcking out of the house so that the top of the hood of my car was hitting the hood that was sticking out of the house. (somehow all of this did not seem unusal enough to question the dream) Then I decided I should have gone somewhere and so suddenly I was somewhere, I remembered that my friend's friend was having a wedding and I ran into someone who was from the wedding, and then I went on to another area, while I was in that area I ran into my friend and so then I was eating with her. I began explaining how the bus went past my house and seeing her friend, and I began to draw an explanitory map on the window making streaks with my finger to indicate lines. But then my freind began to draw a picture of Iran on the window with her finger but it looked like an actual map of Iran in color, this dots and lables for cities and blue for water ways and dark lines for divisions. I realized that I was dreaming, but I wanted to finish my explanation before moving on to any goals, but then suddenly I realized I was holding my friends leg in my hands so I lifted her leg to my mouth and kissed her on the calf, then I began to destabalize, I thought to try to stabalize but it was too late and I was awake

Back to first night in a row. I've been sick the past few days which has affected my sleep. I hope to be back to normal soon (and get out of my lucid dry spell!!).

Get well soon Bridger! Wishing you good sleep and lots of lucids soon. :offtobed:

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

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 :meditate: 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.

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 :D 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

try to post spoilers latter but gave some description already for almost all lucids in prior posts

Good job everyone! I know I had a lot more lucids as a result of participating in this contest. :D Thanks Karla for putting it on!

Side note: I think I'll take October off, but I'll definitely join in again for November. Best of luck to everyone participating :)

Been lazy to post the rest of my DJ entries. I think we can tell that the clear winner on here is cooleymd with 375 points! Congratulations! I think that also gives the win to Team Future. Hope everyone had fun and good luck for whatever anyone's doing in October.
