night 10
2 dreams-2 points
dild-10 points
basic summon-5 points
dc interaction-2 points
Spoiler for dild:
I was in my grandmas house and realized I was dreaming. I went outside in the backyard and summoned a female dc and made out with them. She stopped and asked my about what feelings I had, to which I awkwardly replied "uh...sexual feelings" and another female dc approached and said "he means intimacy" and I woke up.
**12/11/22 NON LUCID** **TEEM DEER!**
I was playing this game that doesn’t actually exist (I think) and there was a yellow beam to get somewhere. Sensei was telling me I need to believe it will happen and I’ll teleport, it was like a lucid dreaming training thing. Then Peter started playing with me and turns out we had an old save I lost when I apparently broke my ps4. I had a new save though, from when I was just playing. I had space 50% complete but none of the other worlds with 1%. I found my old save and had so many worlds 100%, not space. I decided to give up my old save and work on space again. Then it was Christmas and it was terrible. No deco, no presents and no tree. My dad just handed me something from the closet. Then the room was split into two halves, one for me, one for my brother. It was straight up like a Mario game, it had P-switches. Well my brothers side only did, so I made one for myself. My dad yelled I yelled back. I woke up after
One point for last night. I might have been lucid, but I was trying to drive carefully at the time and didn't want to distract myself. I can't really blame myself for that. Better safe than sorry!
Well well well, guess who finally broke the dry streak

Great WILD full of action, let's see if I can push for one more before the comp ends? Hopefully this time I won't totally ignore my telekinesis goals. You can read it below or following the link:
Spoiler for Dry streak breaking WILD!!:
WILDed into my old bedroom and went to the window to check if it was indeed my old bedroom. "Oh yeah" I thought as soon as I saw the familiar scenary. I didn't remembre my tasks all that well, so I went with the piano playing which I knew was a thing but didn't remember wasn't the 3 step task anymore.
So I went to the living room, sat at the piano and tried to play something cool. However, nothing good came out and I ended up quickly giving up. Then I went to the kitchen where my sister was playing on her computer. I asked her for some piano advice but she kind of avoided the question and asked me to help her install something on her PC. I helped a bit and then went to the kitchen balcony, which was significantly bigger than it is IWL.
I looked at the sky and it was slightly cloudly, cool and humid and I thought it would be a perfect day to fly. However I wasn't feeling super confident, nor was I feeling like jumping out of the 7th floor, so I decided to test for super strength instead and started punching the wall. Nothing much happened to the wall itself but at the 2nd or 3rd punch it seemed like the wall "stepped back" slightly. I tried to do it again but to no avail.
Next up I remembered the electronic device task, so I headed back to the living room, where my two versions of my cat were. I petted both of them for a bit and then grabbed my phone. Everything seemed normal I opened the music app which seemed to have every tune I have ever listened to. I played one of them, and it started playing an album I hear often, which coincidentaly I actually have on my phone IWL.
Finally I decided to go the neighbours place to see if I could find the Unigine Valley there (going through their door has led to some weird places before). As I was leaving my house I remember the expression "the writing is on the wall" and try to think it would be cool if there was writing on the wall in the corridor when I went out through my front door. And sure enough, there it was. On the left wall of the corridor, in a very faint, light red color it was written "writing on the wall". Kinda neat, uh? (except for the part where it was written in red, I kinda felt like it was blood).
Anyways, I knocked on my neighbours door, but before they had time to answer I noticed to my right a room which had two grand pianos and a smaller keyboard instrument which was clearly supposed to be a min church organ. I sat at the organ and started playing Toccata in D minor by Bach (I can't actually play this IWL, so this was all just me thinking the sound and moving my hands randomly, and the sounds came out). Then the neighbours came rushing into the room, slightly angry. I started playing Autumn Leaves and they apparently had no choice except to groove along. One sat down at a piano and the other pulled out a saxophone and we just jammed. Great fun! Worth noting that I had to purposely not look at the keys for otherwise the illusion that I actually could play would be broken.
@Saizaphod tell me if you think I should change the score. I put the writing on the wall thing as Basic Summoning and technically counted the piano/organ playing twice: as Old Personal Goal and Practice Waking Life Hobby.
Btw, amazing recall as well, if anything this competition has boosted my Dream Recall tremendously.
Sleep has been really bad this past week. Everyone under my roof is unwell and I’m Only getting half the sleep I usually would so it’s been a struggle to recall and get lucid but I did have a rather funny one last night and ticked off my “talk to an animal” goal.
Night: 09/12
2 Fragments (1 point)
Night: 10/12
3 Dreams (3 points)
Night: 11/12
1 DILD (10 points)
WBTB (2 points)
Interact with DC (2 points)
Talk with an animal (20 points)
Additional points?
Saizaphod, does successfully flying a jet count as flying or unspecified dream control? (+ 5 points) Also, does the brief mention of a “ Christmas elf” qualify as a winter theme? (+ 5 points) Finally, flying over a city was an old goal of mine but I didn’t plan to pursue it so not sure if it counts? (+10 points)
EDIT: Additional points approved.
Winter theme (5 points)
Unspecified control (5 points)

Pretty sure they're supposed to work (and gain lucidity) for RCs to score points, tough luck

No need, you scored it right since you did it twice seperately
Same, recall has gotten much better

Gz on a good lucid for you too finally!!
Yes (would anyways for the unspecified control/use electronic device), and yes, so +10 total . But yes, the goals have to posted before execution so no points for that.
SO MANY LUCIDS FROM EVERYONE, Congratz to all!
Other: I'm going to use my host-rights(though usually this would have been done at the halfway mark of the comp) and switch myself to Team Deer to balance the teams for the remaining 3 nights of the competition. (Pic to demonstrate the difference.) If the comp happened to take some massive surprise turn and the Deers happened to win in a massive margin I apologize, but I think it should be much more balanced this way. Good luck!
Night 7: 3 non lucids (3 pts) Night 8: 2 non lucids (2 pts) Night 9: 1 non lucid (1 pt) Night 10: WBTB (2pts), 3 DILDs (20pts), 2 non-LDs (2pts), Fly (5pts), full phase (10pts), elemental manipulation (10pts), winter theme (5pts), interact with dream character (2pts), drink something (5pts), invisibility (5pts) (66 pts) Night 11: 2 non lucid (2 pts) Comp total: 89 pts
It finally happened! I got a night of lucidity! What’s most impressive to me is I actually remembered the winter competition!
Note: I have cut fragments for readability, and I really can’t tell the chronology between dreams. I just put them in the order that makes most sense so they might seem continuous, but I really don’t remember them being continuous like this. The best I came up with was three discontinuous lucid dreams, with out of context non lucid fragments or gaps in between. For example, I have memories of thinking about these dreams and planning to talk about them. And memories of dream themes reminding me of previous dreams: especially the invisible ghost people. But these clues seem to contradict each other so I gave up on ever finding the true chronology.
Spoiler for The dreams:
Before
I wake up at 5 am. I go to get a glass of water, pee and remember the previous dreams. It takes me a long time to fall asleep (40 min I think and that’s the reason why I don’t practice WBTB or WILD).
It’s VR. No, it’s a dream: Godzilla.
In the dream, I am hunting cute Kirby-like creatures scattered along a city street that I can capture for their powers. My latest prey is on someone’s front porch. Then, on that front porch, at the end of the city street above a forest, under a beautiful night sky, I hear this great sound. I don’t only hear it but also feel it. In the distance, from the forest part of the city, there is a giant beast (think Godzilla) walking toward me, bellowing. My mental state is mixed between a readiness to fight it (this is a game after all!) and awe at the surreal quality of the experience. There are gaps in the experience however and I explain it away telling myself my VR headset must be falling off and once I put it back on, it isn’t calibrated properly, so while I am able to bring the fantastical elements of that porch scene, I miss the impact of Godzilla’s arrival. Game over. Disappointment. Now, I realize this person’s porch is their… kitchen. And down the stairs (outside) is more dining room/kitchen furniture. I can hear them inside their house and so I decide to quickly leave their property before they notice me. It’s no longer just furniture outside on the porch. It’s now inside the house, and I hurry out the front, noticing many strange furniture I’ve never seen before but seem functional. But then I realize it’s fine if I trespass, I am dreaming. I might as well do that now: trespass. I have now arrived in a part of the city that has not loaded in much detail so the first building I pick to visit seems boring and empty at first glance, but I let it take life. It becomes a gay commune as I pass the reception room and into the shared bedroom. In the center, there is a bed tree. A center pillar branching out in beds sort of like a tree. The beds are thin and small but not all equal. Couples start to load in. Some couples can sleep side by side while some have to sleep one on another. I notice in particular a man who sleeps on his back with his hands and feet up, and his boyfriend sleeping in an acrobat’s pose resting on his palms and legs. I wonder how can his muscles rest in this position. They slowly come alive and are having lively conversations. I listen and chat for a bit and then move on.
Fake Awakening bed horror
I wake up now in bed. My boyfriend and I notice white things scattered above the bed. I focus on them to understand what I am seeing. At first, they seem like rice but then, they subtly become bigger and alien in shape. I say: they must be earwax, they don’t have the texture, but sort of the shape of an inner ear. How could I have shed so much wax? Gross! And then they are bigger and more clearly alian larvae. Disgusting! The biggest one starts moving! They are alive! We hurry to shove them in a bucket and run to a garbage. My boyfriend dumps the bucket, but they get all over. They’re all over me. I can feel the larvae over my whole body. I am frenetic trying to get it off me. I go to take a shower.
It’s a movie. No, it’s a dream: Ghosts.
In this dream, I think I am watching a movie about a ghost girl. She is talking to her mother who can’t hear her. The mother is running on a big city street and the girl behind her. I can hardly keep up with them to hear but the story is very touching to me. I am bawling my eyes out as I run, thinking “wow, I love this movie! It’s really making me feel things! Wow. I’ll just watch it again another time to hear more properly. But it’s strange to be running in a movie… A bit like the VR experience, I get gaps in the experience until I lose the girl and her mother around a bus station. The street is lined with open restaurants. I notice a guy sitting between 2 friends. I think he’s cute and decide to focus on that to continue the dream. I approach him flirting, ready to kiss him. He is receptive and shy but then I hesitate because the experience is so surreal, and the scene is so alive with people and conversation. I think, this might be real life and I am in a closed relationship. There is nothing recognizable here and I have no memory of past or future. I really am dreaming: amazing. So, I sit on the guys to be closer to the middle guy that I am flirting with. I flirt for a bit, even with the two other guys but then I kind of scold my wandering mind and focus on the middle one. This prompts the one closest to me to kiss me in a way to give me a hicky. So I kiss the guy I was focusing on and the third one joins in with caresses. I am surprised by the vividness of the touch and of the scene.
This new scene vaguely feels continuous with the previous one but maybe only because I don’t remember waking up into lucidity and I am in a city street. I am observing the details with a strong sense of traveling. I am impressed. It seems this city is lived in and has its own culture with so many unique details that seem at home here but that I can’t recognize. There’s a pop rock song playing too, I notice. The lyrics are sung clearly by a male’s voice. I am amazed by my mind’s musical talent because I don’t recognize the song. Then, since this is a dream and there are no rules, I decide to start dancing to the music right here and then. Just making my way around, appreciating the details of the sights and the music. Then, I notice some characters behind doorways or down alleyways are also dancing. I think “see, how my mind and this whole dream is one. My own dancing is seeping into the dream.” And then I dance even more, having a good time in this inner city.
Ghost
I am inside a service business (think travel agency). It’s very nice and fancy but the dream narrative is that the owners are baddies. They have done injustices unto others, and I am angry. I sense my powers. This is a dream and I can do anything. Throughout the night I have often remembered dreams of invisible people unseen to all but me so from this inspiration, I become invisible to the owners. I become an agent of chaos creating havoc for fun, flying and pushing all the wall and table decorations, throwing random items at the owners. They react in shock and indignation. They run after the disturbances I cause. As they come to grab the stuff I am spilling over the floor, they come so close as to almost discover me, so I phase through a door into the next room and continue there.
The Dreamviews Winter Challenge: Sip and kiss for stability, winter and body horror
Presently, the contents of my consciousness are thoughts, no sensations. “What an exciting night! Now, I will wake up. Too bad. I’ve been lucid a lot tonight but I didn’t do anything for the Dreamviews winter challenge… I will get no points. Well, I did fly and phase but that’s not much. Oh well, it was a very interesting night anyway”. I take a sip of a glass of water. Wow. As I sip, I have sight: I can see the inside of the glass, dark liquid in a dark cup, with so many lights reflected on the water, the sound echoing in the glass. It’s a sensory overload in a complete empty dream. The dream is still empty but I have a sense of being somewhere. Ok, maybe it’s not over, I can bring the dream back and complete my tasks! What are my three step tasks? I take another sip. Amazing again. The dream is coming back to life but it’s still empty. There’s just a vague empty human inside the emptiness. Remembering how lucid and vivid I felt in the kissing dream, paired with the previous powerful sips, I decide to further stabilize the dream by kissing the empty human. But before I do, a full human arrives into the dark emptiness with a cloak on hiding his eyes. His face is vivid, but it reminds me of someone I would not kiss. Whatever, it’s not him and it’s a dream. I kiss him. The emptiness is gone! The dream is back! We are in a big room with pillars and people. Inadvertently, the empty human who I had left unkissed latches on to my finger with its mouth. I don’t look but I allow the sensation to remain. Still mid kiss, and vaguely aware of the empty creature at my finger, I focus my attention on the room, and also thinking: “what are my three tasks? Summoning!.. No… Advanced summoning!.. No… There are three advanced tasks… The theme is winter. The first thing is elemental manipulation! And as I think this, I notice, at the bottom of the room, an ice rink. Amazing: I had planned to freeze all the water of the dream into ice to complete the elemental manipulation task as part of the winter theme. But my mind already put some ice into the dream! I am excited by my mind’s trick, but I need to think about how I will recover from the dream beating me to it. Really, the room is like a stadium with the ice rink at the bottom and it’s alive with people. It’s really not a great stadium because there are lots of pillars so I just move on to somewhere else past nearby pillars, still mid kiss. There I find a pool! Great! I focus on turning it into ice. The creature is still at my finger and I stumble and fall. I am scared for the dream stability. I have very little time left. I do not stand up. I focus on the pool from a lying down position. The corner of the pool turns into ice. Not a thin sheet but a complicated multilayered ice. It’s cool and I am happy but then… that’s it? I chose advanced tasks! This will not do it. I wanted everything to be ice and snow. It must all be ice! The pool freezes over. And everywhere I look the moisture freezes into ice and snow. It’s beautiful. And the weird creature that I paid no mind to this whole time lets go of my finger and I notice my finger is looking like a strange white and pink alien salamander larva. I know I shouldn’t pay it any attention, but I can’t take my eyes off and I stare at it move and change forms slowly. And then I wake up, excited to have done it in the nick of time, only to realize my first step was actually full transformation into a deer… oh damn it!
After
I wake up at 7h30 so all the previous dreams happened within 2 hours and a half. It’s been the most lucidity I have had in a night.
Well, now it’s 9h30 and that’s why I don’t keep a dream journal
Interesting night, with another lucid dream! I was kind of busy today and had so much dreaming activity last night that I just now got the journal updated. Score for the night:
*Am I right in giving myself a point for the reality check that made me lucid?
Spoiler for Lucid:
Walking along a sidewalk near my undergraduate university. Waiting for the light to change so that I can cross the street. There are some other students around. I walk into the student center building, and when I’m there it occurs to me that I’m dreaming. I do a nose pinch RC to be sure, and can still breathe. There are some beams set into the ceiling at regular intervals, and I think I float up to these and use them to pull myself along as though I were climbing a ladder horizontally. I look over at some people nearby to see what their reaction is, but I don’t think they notice me.
For me, Night 4.
I wasn't able to journal or get any points night 3. Had some really terrible stuff happen that morning and lucid dreaming was the last thing on my mind.
Tonight though I had a super cool, recallable, full dream that would count for 1 point, along with a WBTB for 2 points. Total for 3 points. I'm getting rather unlucky with my MILD practice as of late, however I think I can definitely pull off at least a lucid before the competition ends (=
I'm really behind on posting because I was busy this weekend!
night 9
I did a WBTB and took 8mg of galantamine and 600mg of alpha gpc.
Spoiler for the first dream:
I am a different person and I am in a relationship with a very quiet woman. I don't really like how quiet she is so I break up with her and move in with my dad.
I woke up for a bit then fell back asleep.
Spoiler for the second dream:
Again I am a different person. This time I'm a super hero and I live on an island with my in dream fiance. I become lucid without even doing a reality check because of the way the galantamine makes the dream feel but for some reason I choose to follow the dream plot. I fly over the island and find a good place for my secret hq. I create the base there and also a cool set of armour. The helmet masks my identity for my superhero adventures. It is time for the wedding so I put away my armor and fly to the wedding venue. I get married and then there is a super villan on the loose so I fight with him. My only superpowers as this character are flight and durability so summon my armor and guns to fight. I fly over the island looking for enemies and end up in this dock by the ocean where there is a hotel on a boat. Overall the dream lasted over 2 hours.
WBTB 2
1 NLD: 1
First lucid of the night 10
Interact with a Dream Character - 2 points
Fly - 5 points
Basic Summoning - 5 points Night total: 25
night 10
I stayed up super late and slept very deeply with no dreams remembered.
[B]
night 11/B]
I got hardly any sleep again so no dreams but I took a nap and remembered one non lucid.
Nice dreaming night, missed 2 super huge dream signs. Still feels good that I was close! Got back to sleep probably in late morning, another BTS success, woohoo.
Late morning recall hazy as usual. Delving in the middle of the night waking brought back a lot of dreams, this is also a very feel-good success that recall is recovering/building.
I feel awful that I'm not contributing much to this comp. For some reason my dreams have turned into a lot of violent movement with very little lucid awareness. Like I'm trying to escape something.
