Contest for the Month April 2020

Hello!

...there, after few years. Whole world is in quarantine right now, so leťs find something positive to do during our home stay. I would love to setup another friendly contest to boost our motivation in course of April.
Unlike classic competition, it's not mainly focused on dream control and lucid activities. It is less time consuming and more casual, because posting digital dream journal entry on Dreamviews is optional and scoring is simplified.

LIVE SCORESHEET
(updated weekly)


Rules


- There is no need for registration, just type your first post - not later than 10th of April and you are signed in
- Continuously post your results at least once every 4 days if possible in the contest's thread which starts on 1. April at 20:00 of your local time
- Contest ends 30. April at 11:00 a.m. your local time
- No cheating!
- Use healthy self-criticism
- Posting your dreams on Dreamviews DJ is optional, since lot of people do not record their dreams in english and in digital form, so it is less consuming to write it twice, but if any interesting experience is involved, everyone apreciate your sharings
- Recording your dreams in your own way of dream journaling is necessary for valid points (paper/electronic/audio), but no need to show the evidence. (Be honest with yourself)

Skill level categories

Please choose your level category to compete with suitable competitors. You can switch your group during the contest (if you are too good, you can go upwards to higher group or vice versa)

Expert – more than 3 lucid dreams per week awarage

Intermediate – 1 to 3 lucid dreams per week avarage

Beginner - less than 1 lucid dream per week avarage



Points categories



Wbtbs (Wake back to bed)

- For valid points do some activity like dream journaling, reading or get up and do some activity that makes you more awake (walking, sitting and reading, eating, stretching...) Choose your way of wbtb that suits you best
- 1 wbtb = 1 point
- limit of wbtbs is 2 per night (max 2 points a night)
- for valid points, you don't need to become lucid after wbtb


Dream recall

Non lucid dreams
- for valid points dreams are recorded by your method (written by hand, pc, audio record...)
- 1 dream fragment recorded = 0,5 point (fragments recalled from the same dream are limited by total 1 point, so if you have 3 fragments from the one specific dream, it is still 1 point total - it can't exceed 1 point - same dream means you are remembering theme of the dream or connection of the fragments
- 1 non lucid dream recorded = 1 point ( memory of action or series actions in one dream)
- semi lucid counts as non lucid dreams

Lucid dreams
- 1 lucid dream recorded = 5 points ( If it's series of DEILDs, it's 5 points for all DEILDs in total. Benefits for Deilders is in lucid dream time category)
- semi-lucid dream is not counting as a lucid dream, but as non lucid dream


Lucid dream time
(you get points for recorded dreams + lucid dream time points)

- one of the main pillar of this contest is to focus on the ongoing time in lucid dream state and knowing the precise lucidity duration, always keep this on mind
- longer lucidity = more points
- be sober in estimating the time spent in lucid dream


0,01 to 5 minutes category = 2 point
6 to 10 minutes category = 4 points
11-15 minutes category = 6 points
16-20 minutes category = 8 points
20+ minutes = 10 points
Maximum points in one lucid dream time is 10 points
(for example 42 minutes dream time = 10 points)
(for example 14 minutes dream time = 6 points)
Every single lucid dream has its own points for lucid time


Scoring template

- please try to post your points clearly and simple as posibble but you can do it your way. For example this is my system:

Day 1
1 wbtb = 1 point
3 fragments = 1,5 points (from two separated dreams)
2 dreams = 2 points
1. lucid dream = 5 points
10 minutes in lucid dream time = 4 points
2. lucid dream = 5 points
22 minutes in lucid dream time = 10 points

night total = 28,5

contest total = 28,5 points


Prices

Winners of each category will be remembered as COOLEST LUCID APRIL PEOPLE and will be awarded with some community hall points, which can be spent in dreamviews market!

CONTEST STARTS 1. April 20:00 P.M. OF YOUR LOCAL TIME, GOOD LUCK!

My category will be Intermediate.

Had a adventurous dream this morning in sort of like mmo rpg open world game style. I did quest wrong and all the sudden the realm was attacked by big npc green birds, but it was fun. Rehearsing my dream recall for the contest...

I like how stream lined these rules are! I will play. I will be in advanced. I have been super busy and not focusing on dreaming, but this will give me a fun thing to get me going again.

I'd be Intermediate.

Yay, I was in the mood for a contest!

I sign up for the intermediate league

Luckily I remembered one dream today haha
April 1
1 dream = 1 pt
I'm part of a race of giant spiders, migrating across the sky. We get an extra pair of wings every night which is nice because we also tend to lose them. I'm sometimes also an old man with no legs or wheelchair and I need the assistance of my grand daughter to climb in the Para-transit.
April 2
1 dream = 1 pt
Competing in a competition on a ship. At our turn we must dive in the pool far below us, complete some quest and climb back up.
Competition total = 2 pt

2 pts, going strong! haha

I'll sign up for expert league

Night 1
1 dream = 1 point
lucid dream = 5 points
4 minutes = 2 points
lucid dream = 5 points
3 minutes = 2 points

night total = 15 points
competition total = 15 points
total lucid time = 7 minutes

1st: 1 dream=1
2nd: 4 dreams=4, wbtb:1
running total=6

I actually knew I was dreaming in two dreams, so in a way that was lucid, but I did not remember the contest or to attempt to interact. In the 1st I just watched pink oyster mushrooms bloom like flowers for a minute or so thinking, "wow, trying to grow those has sunk deep into my mind enough to influence my dreams; that looks really cool." The second was about as basic. I watched a scene and thought something like, "what is that persons name in real life, I think the dream is using the wrong name." I am not going to count those as lucid for the contest.

I want to play too, not for the prize, but for the boosted lucidity. Rules looks simple which is good, I never record my lucid dreams digitally, only on toilet paper. It says what I can win, but it didn't say what I can lose, I still love my kidneys. ;)

I'm choosing intermediate group.

I hear there's trouble. So, I climb horizontal poles to assist... to a class. Slideshow. Family with one letter on shirt back. Joke with professor. Now following royal professor in a mansion through elevators and playing boardgames with her and her children. Seagulls collecting feathers for nest. I win same time as another person.
- Party with friends. Have to uncover gifts we brought for the others. Sampling gifts at the store. Next day, boyfriend gets porcupine meat delivered home. I want some too and I say I dreamed about the pamphlet he is ordering from.

Walking around locally at daytime. Got aware when I found I could float. Noticed the moon above the clouds. I tried drawing it closer, then tried flying to it, but couldn't. Warp. I was somewhere that was completely on fire! The flames didn't bother me, though the hot air itself did keep me from breathing much. Such discomfort woke me up promptly.
