Winter Competition 2022

Does unintentionally waking up at my REM count as WBTB? I did a method after even tho it was unexpected.
If yes, +2 points

3 NLD's and one fragment.
Total of 3.5 points

What a wonderful 3 hours of sleep I had last night. :P Probably one less hour than hukif. Did manage to get an afternoon 15 minute wild nap tho thankfully so I'm not dead all day

Dream 1

Spoiler for WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND:

lucid. DILD. I am walking in a snowy area that looks a bit like thomas kinkade might have drawn it. I spend about 10 minutes walking from house to house, I throw some snowballs. I try to see how fast I can throw a snowball. at first I use super strength and it can go through windows but struggles with walls. I then try with some more strength and they melt when they move fast enough to go through a wall and just splash. I eat a bit of snow but it actually tastes like nothing, not in the same way that water tastes like nothing, but like actually just texture of snow and nothing. There was absolutely no one there. I think that this must be an abandon town from the three of the witches towns that I've recently taken captive. I don't know what happened to this third town. They must have left. I decide that I need to make the barrier smaller so that the other two towns are no longer in it and it is just me and a few left. Maybe then I will be able to meet some higher ups, I think

Dream 2

Spoiler for THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING HERE:

lucid. WILD. I fall through my bed and am in the void, but its actually my dream body in there. I try flying this way and that and teleporting long distances, but nothing seems to happen. I must be cut out of the world somehow. I know one way of teleporting to get out of this situation, but I didn't think of it while in dream. I effectively did nothing in the dream. I do worry that they have kicked me out or trapped me in some way, so I need to get back to the witches with the next dream.

Literally 0 points from this dream haha.

Dream 3

Spoiler for FIGHT FIGHT! LUCIFER?:

Start. Vis. I relax my body. I have to create my dream house in the void before I start the WILD. then I transfer over to the dream house and the WILD starts as I exit my door I lose connection to my body. I'm in the void. I look for a crack in the void. this void is interesting since it is the color that doesn't exist in real life. The crack is usually at a corner, so I pretend there is a corner and slide through the crack and I am floating in the darkness with two bright spots to get to, weird, exactly like my book has the space between. I go to the zodra spot and as I get closer it random spawns me into the mall. I am hovering about 10 feet above the ground. I can't stay here. I need to get back and blend in with the witches. Freaking teleporting into and out of persistent and semi persistent realms makes things difficult. I do scan and see where the entrance to the sub-realm is and teleport in. I make it more visible from the outside and easier to feel and easier to get in so that people can find it. I am in a hallway. A place in here I haven't been, but resembles witch HQ that I've been to before, tho I think that that was also just a copy of it. it is white walls and doors and it goes on and the doors have no markings. I open a door and see a witch looking into a computer. I close the door and another witch is in the hallway with me. I walk behind her and ask her where she is going. She is wearing a winter cloak with fluffy stuff everywhere, her left arm goes up and a sword slices through the cloak and directly at me, I dodge and activate Zelda BOTW side step and she slows down (flurry rush). I stop to think They must have cataloged everyone and banished me earlier when I was awake and unable to be cataloged. I guess thats what I get for not sleeping enough I see a globe sitting on a table next to me. I grab it and try to bite to hope it tastes amazing. my teeth bounce off. I put some energy into it and it sinks in and just tastes like cardboard. I walk around her and touch her on the hair and Zip lock her in the jail where the rest of the witches in this dimension are. No need for stealth anymore. I blow open the door that had witch #1 in it and as I do, I teleport to behind where she was at. She sees the door fly open and prepares a nasty spell with purple incantations in the air. It feels like some sort of rot spell. I touch her hair and she zips into the jail. I estimate about 28 more witches. I guess its fight time. I hear a noise in my basement in real life that wakes me, but the dream has shuffled to vis and done a bit of a pause. I listen to make sure everything is good in the house, but don't hear any crying or anything, so the kids are probably fine, I'll have to retransition tho. I start to transition back into the dream by looking through the witches computer and reading some documents. it is very small amounts of info, it talks about how they appeared in a foreign land and they couldn't figure out who was who and they were able to band together and that Lucifer had helped them (HE IS IN THE BARRIER NOW!!!) and my alarm goes off so I can't transition fully into a dream. Guess I'm finishing the fight tomorrow night.

I think just about any case of intentionally not going back immediately to bed/sleep can count as a WBTB. I think the key thing is intentionally prolonging your time awake outside of your typical back to sleep routine. It should be more than "huh, I'm awake, ok, that's a WBTB, ZZZzzzz" though :). Maybe a minimum time of 1 minute or something ...

Yay, I'm on the deer team, like in my avatar. I guess I'll have to do a full transformation into a deer :P

3 step goals:
1. Advanced full transformation
2. Elemental manipulation
3. Mass telekinesis

Personal goal:
Visit my mental palace

Good luck everyone!

I would like to change my three step task. Not the tasks themselves, just the order:

Ask for advice
Advanced flying
Push hand through solid object

Oh come on! I messed up all of the three step tasks order in my head in dreams, and just realized now lol
Will probably be journaling by tomorrow, but was waaaay dumb tonight.

Night 2, 2/12
- 2 non-lucid fragments - 1 point
- WBTB - 2 points

Daily Total: 3 points
Competition Total: 4 points

Managed to wake up for the WBTB but got lazy and did the BTB part too fast :facepalm:
Oh well, at least now I'm on WBTB mode again so that's something.

Intermediate: At least 1 of the 3 must be Advanced Dream Control Tasks. Edit it a bit or maybe switch it to a personal goal? Good goal btw

---

Oh, thanks! I totally missed that. Let's go with the following then

3-Step Task
- Ask for advice
- Telekinisis
- Advanced Flying

This feeds nicely into my personal goal of Telekinisis flying. And I'll move the piano playing to old personal goal.

Night: 02/12

TEAM DEER!
+5 points, I ate something in my LD last night

Please post lucid dream entry, you can link it to your dreamjournal or wrap it in spoilers. Will add the points beforehand though, also +10 for the lucid dream so you got 15 points!

Night 2

Some good dreams, managed to wake up and take notes after most of them, I think I only missed the 2nd cycle. From the 1st cycle, I only have a short fragment. 3rd was very fragmented, something like 4 or 5 fragments adding to one full dream, which is a shame because it was a good one. Later dreams were better. A large part of the night (3 or 4 consecutive dreams) was on the same theme - protecting people/being in a rebel group/fighting for a better world. No LDs.

5 nlds
1 fragment
WBTB

7.5pt for the night

Night 2:
It's been a few nights with no time to recall so my focus was dream recall today. As I was recalling the dreams, it felt like a continuous exercise of recall but I was really falling back into dream and continuing each dream and only realizing as I was moving to the next dream in my recall exercise. I will count these dreams as part of their original dreams. No lucidity tonight, but I did go to a dream class and notice my body was all wrong. :P

Spoiler for Dreams:

Dream about working.
Dream about exploring subterranean tunnels and fighting a giant creature.
Dream about attending a dream class with two friends. One current friend that kept making witty comments while another student was talking about his dream experiences. One long lost friend who was suddenly affectionate.
Dream about going to see friends that just moved to talk about the house market and having to climb a ladder to their new apartment filled with aquariums and meet their dog.
Dream about noticing my body in a mirror and not recognizing myself. I looked at my body from all perspectives to become familiar with it and find new acceptance despite my feeling that it was all wrong.
Dream about sex.

6 non-lucid dreams: 6pts
total pts: 6pts

WBTB - 2 pts
2 dreams - 2 pts

Personal goals:
- Eat a delicious, gooey chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven, made by a top chef.
- Find my dream guide. I haven't done that yet, surprisingly!
- Meditate.

I haven't had lucid dreams in months because of my lack of sleep, so I'm aiming to simply *have* lucid dreams again this competition. But I hope I can complete my three-step task and goals, you never know ;)

Changing my first part of the three step task to "ask for advice" so it's more related to dream control. :nodyes:

And I'm changing to this to a full non-lucid dream, so 1 point.

BTW, 2nd night. Went to bed too late, overslept, it wasn't a good sleep. Couldn't remember any dreams or anything, despite doing WBTB. Night total = 0 points, comp total = 1 point.
