I think this is my final score. I already made noon nap so I'm fully rested. I'm not expect any more naps before 8pm. I'm glad that I endure to the end of this game even if my score is very low. Also my dream recall is improved by 100-150%. Also special thanks for @Roya for very simply advise (If somebody is interested check coments here https://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/roy...#comment139090 ). I learned something new, wow.
Anyway I'm also disappointed because I expected at least 1 LD during this competition (and of course I was close but it isn't enough for me).

Thanks for playing guys!

Night 13 was just one NLD (1pt)
Night 14 was a DILD I did nothing in. Here is the lucid entry. https://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/jad...14-yeet-95502/ (10pt)

Final entry (Day 13 and 14)

Nothing except 2 WBTB: +4

Thanks for the competition everyone! This was really the kickstart I needed to get back into lucid dreaming, so thanks! Going to try and keep the momentum going!

Spoiler for Entry:

Regular Lucid
I'm in a classroom of my junior high-school. The class is filled with students from all my previous classes. I go to a mirror above a sink on the wall and start fixing my hair, it's all messed up. I spontaneously become lucid. Yes! I happily go back to my desk and yell: "WOOO!" excitedly. One of the girls who always used to bully me looks at me in awe - where did this guy come from?(he's hot) I sit back down and observe the situation, so many old friends of mine are here, and everyone keeps looking at me because of my yelling. I then see one of the guys go get some water from the sink to fill his bottle. He puts soap inside as well and begins drinking it. I gradually lose lucidity after this.

Okay so I took a nap today and woke up with about an hour and forty-five on the clock. Had another classic system layer one and a seperate NLD so my total for today should be

x2 DILD (15pt)
x1 NLD.

I will write up the last two nights and total the points in a little bit. I didn't do so well this competition, but this has not been a good two weeks for competing. Way too much stuff going on, and I ran out of melatonin. Hopefully next time!

Thankyou to saizaphod for setting this competition up and to everyone who took part. I’ve had fun, although I was expecting have a higer score somewhere around 180 I found my recall has had a big boost at times where it would normally drop off due to stress and illness

Just a heads up my scores aren't fully filled out. I need an update for day 14 because I napped and had a second Dild and and a non lucid. It looks like the scoresheet was updated after I made my second post on day 14.

Celebration due 19th est, just realized gonna have to spend the night somewhere else

Last minute scores! If I had time to write and try to recall, I might be able to get more out of my notes. But since I waited until the last minutes to get this in, I'll just go with what I jotted down in my notebook for the nights of the 14th and 15th

Night 13:

5 fragments: 2.5 points

Night 14:

1 fragment: 0.5 points

Hopefully I will do better by next competition. I think the day that this competition started, I had a meeting and realized I was kind of far behind on work. So the last two weeks have been particularly busy and stressful, and dreaming has not been as big of a priority. Oh well.

night 11
dream 1-3
I took some notes!
I spent the night drinking new concoctions of fun tasting things with DCs. haha. it was fun! no persistent dcs, just a drink spot I found with all sorts of different teas and alcohol and the like. wasn't getting drunk or anything, just enjoying the taste and the music and the company. they were are very dumb DCs, but the tastes were fantastic.

interact with dcs 2x3

dream 4
during my wbtb I force myself to force my goals in
I remember the goals close to the beginning of the dream and then I teleport and adjust time so I am heading back into the place I want to head into. some world breaking abilities, used only for getting backto my save basically. Kayla is holding my hand and we are heading deep into the forest. as we get closer there are quite a few small fights. nothing major in this dream. a couple of the things we fought before and I used up my lightning spear but kept using it as a spear. We get to a giant mansion deep in the forest. again no roads there.

teleport 10
time control 10
interact 2
lightning 10
total = 32

dream 5
I scout out the place with kayla. cant see inside. can't see in the widows. no signs of life. we wait a long time and see no one enter or exit. decide to head in in the next night. Kayla is told to wait. She may be there a long long time this time while she waits, but she will make it. hopefully.
interact with dc 2

total for night 40
night 12
didn't sleep well. napped throughout the day
mixed dreamlets all throughout the day. could pull some stuff out, but there is no telling if they were just thoughts and not dreams.

night 13
slept 12 hours. my goodness.
can't type up these dreams due to personal reasons. sorry sorry. I'll just put "interact with dc" ha ha total for night 2 points

night 14
really forced myself to get this done in one night, so we good, STORY IS ENDING!!!

dream 1
I did nothing interesting in this dream.

dream 2
made it back to the place. teleport, no time control. kayla is there. She looks a little off, but she is meditating when I get there.
I break into the window. the whole place is dark. She breaks into a different window. small amounts of light getting into the windows from outside.

from room to room I look everywhere everywhere everywhere.

nothing.

dream 3
back. I keep looking. finally find a basement. no lights. imagine very dark creepy castle. In the basement I finally meet up with Kayla. We head to the basement together. lights come on.
"I was wondering when I would see you two again."
"I'm here to kill you. I cared before about what you were doing, now I am just going to kill you and figure it out later."
"You have to play my game!"
I run at him and he is behind a solid glass wall. I have no powers. I could break the continuity, but I won't... I wait.
"I got this." Kayla throws a fireball made from a keychain on her wrist. it blows away the glass and I run again at the guy. He pulls out a sword and I pull out a trident. He blocks my first attacks and keeps walking backwards. giant white room and one door in it, he backs to the door as I attack, finally he gets a moment to himself and opens the door and runs through. I pursue and I am in something that looks similar to the binding of isaac. Kayla comes with me. Don't know how he got away. I will add more to this later. you said we could do shortened entries and I'll expand later.

interact with dc 2
fire 10
teleport 10

.......................................see you in summer...

Congratulations team turtle. Cor!! That was close. I look forward to the next one. Now that I’ve had two days off, I suppose I better had get back to training in preparation for the next one.
I’ve really enjoyed it. And many thanks to those that organise it and take part.

Congratulations Guys!

Congrats everyone and especially congrats team turtle!! Here's to the summer competition being just as successful :)

Nice, that was close! Congratulations everyone and thanks Saizaphod.

Last bit of my dream. Well not small.

Spoiler for Big dream fight. :

Congrats everyone! Really fun week. Wish I had been in a different world a bit that had more control abilities, but it ended pretty cool.
Gonna just post the rest of that last dream here now that I’ve got some time.

Heading into the room. Completely white room. On the ceiling is a gross looking monster worm caterpillar thing. It has face pinchers and it *schwooms* at me. I dodge and Kayla shoots another fireball at it. Her charm only has two dots left. When the catterpillar dissipates, there are two power ups waiting. One of them looks like fire and one looks mechanical. I stab my trident into the fire and it gains the ability. Kayla tried to grab the other one and it dissipated. Two doors ahead. I pick the left and she picks right.
One look at each other and we head in. We will find and kill that guy.
I can feel that it teleports me somewhere completely else. Instead of a white room, it’s more of a dark dungeony with greyish walls type of room.
Something dark and insect like from the right slices at me. An 8 foot dark gross looking praying mantis type things comes and I am not fast enough to stab and I have to block with the trident. It swings a few times and me and I have to block and dodge and then finally get a good stab at its face. As it pierces through, I also slightly get stabbed in the stomach. Ouchie. Blood starts going out, but not too much.

Two different abilities pop up. One is yellowish and one is greenish. I reach in and grab the yellowish one. My hand is now covered in some energy it can slightly control. Nothing like real energy control, very limited attacks, but I can also change its shape. Seems to be about one cubic foot of energy I can shape however I want but needs to stay attached to my hand. I exit out the door.

It is much darker. I fan the energy out into a big bulb type thing to make it brighter. I see something slither and I shoot fire from the trident. The fire quickly starts eating at the snake, but it also lunges at me with its dying attack. I switch my bulb to a shield and protect myself.

Another ability. I don’t remember the secondary choice. This transforms my trident into a spear.

Next room is bright and I see a dark version of myself. Shadow link style.
We start fighting. He is just as fast me and strong. Shield and spear just like me. He doesn’t seem to be able to be smart with his energy. He keeps it into shield and randomly will switch it into a dagger and takes some stabs. I end up switching it into a whip and tear the spear out of his hand and then switch it back to a shield and attack like crazy and he is unable to keep up with just his shield and I finally am able to get a bunch of wounds on him and as he slows down I finally am able to land a killing blow.

New ability is to snap and drop a rock from the ceiling, snap again and it disappears.

Next room. Blue walls all around. Frick. Also water. I can’t breathe. Eel type thing coming at me. I shoot a fireball at it. No effect. It screams a water ball at me and I use my energy ball to swim me through the water quickly and avoid it. Only three shots left in my fire. I can swim really fast by changing the energy around. Faster than he can. I finally am able to grab ahold of the side of him and start stabbing away. It’s getting darker as I finish the final stabs. Water disappears. Just one ability this time. Has a clock on it.

Next room. Super black. I snap and a rock falls and I hear a slight yell. Sounded like kayla. I spread the light out and can barely see anything.
“Sorry!”
“Isn’t the worst that has happened, we can heal more when we get out.”
As I hear her, I move to the sound and bring her into a bubble with the energy so we can see each other. She has a machine on her back, some red lights coming out of her mouth and she is missing an arm, she has used some sticky goo stuff to stop it from bleeding. Reminding me of the first time I decided to let her be part of my team really. When she lost a lot of limbs and was using tk to move around.

Anyways. I give her a big hug.
“It’s going to be okay.” I say.
“Let’s kill this asshole” she says.

We search the room and we find a door. We hold hands and go through together.

“Congrats! You made it through! I thought only one of you would make it actually.”

He is sitting on a throne in a giant throne room in a giant castle like place we are suddenly in the middle of.

It’s the man from the mall.

“What is this for?” I ask him.

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“You were looking for someone stronger than you?”

A bell appears above his head and starts dinging loudly.

“Bingo! But not just anyone!!!”

“You want the dreamer.” I smile.

“Why does he avoid me? Why doesn’t he listen when people call?!? What is so important?!?”

“Haha. You want the old man.” Kayla laughs at him.

He seems to have all his power and we are limited here. No… that’s not possible. We must follow the same rules in a place. What are the rules? Think think. You must obtain the abilities. He has gone through more levels than us. Not invincible. Just make a game that you are overpowered in and bring someone to start at level one. Not a bad idea.

He can summon something like a bell for comedic effect. That could be a lot of different controls. Could be something like energy with just different materials. We will see. Waiting will do nothing.

I walk towards him. He put a hand up and wind comes at me. I slow time didn’t have time to check it. I snap. It falls down at normal speed while he moves slowly. He tries to jump out of the way. Not a million abilities then. Maybe he just went a different route than us and just knows all the abilities. He seemed to know that rock would come when I snapped. The rock misses him barely as I am rushing towards him. 50 feet was about the distance, but I made it 35 or so when time returned to normal. Kayla is not far behind me because she was holding my hand when i slowed time. We jump to the sides and I am facing him. He summons a sword. Could still be the same ability of summoning material. He jumps in the air and gravity works less good for him. Allowing him to fly(ish) over me.

I snap to drop a rock and my rock is dissipated. Dang it. Forgot I needed to snap twice. I point my spear at him and realize that he is running for the door. There is one door and lots of giant windows with no glass that go from floor to ceiling. I snap again and make a bigger rock than I thought possible. It blocks the door he is running for. He turns and jumps out a window.

“Anything?” I ask Kayla as we rush towards the window he has dropped slowly down. 40 feet. Too far for me with my abilities.

“Yeah! Catch me after”

I jump down and am speeding to the ground. Almost catching up to the man. Let’s call him the searcher for now.

Before I hit the ground, something bungees me back up halfway and then a quarter of the way. I slice up with the spear and cut it when I’m dangling like 8 feet and then land on my feet. As I land, I see Kayla falling down.

I slow time so I can make things. I quickly make my own thing out of energy that will bend and bounce a bit that catches her a bit and then when it slows her a bit without hurting I undo it and then do it again and again. Three times and then time has sped up and the third one I let catch her completely.

We are near an ocean. Looks similar to the ocean in inception. He is just running from us. We will eventually catch up with the time control. He isn’t running fast tho. He turns and his mouth opens. I can’t hear anything anymore. My ears are bleeding. Kayla’s ears are bleeding too. Three abilities. At least two more.

When I finally catch up to him, we are running on the beach together and I have about 10 seconds before time slow can be used again. I fling energy into a whip at him and before it lands, he disappears. I turn around to attack and glance quickly up, he is up! A short range teleport, but not above me, above kayla. He stabs down with his sword and she blocks it and his foot gets much bigger and slams down at her, crushing the metal on her back and maybe breaking part of her. 8 seconds left before time slow. He is 10 feet away. I am already rushing as fast as I can at him and I turn my energy into a long long long sharp spear that stabs directly into his shoulder and bends. A suit coat that is armor. I keep pushing and making it stronger and thicker as I get closer and it knocks him off of her. 5 seconds before I can time slow. I throw a fire ball and my spear and slash at his face with energy in the form of a blade. All aimed well at where he is heading, falling backwards. His hand in front of him trying desperately to stop all of them and it does! It gets much bigger and is able to take all of them. Not very well. Blood everywhere. Then he makes it smaller and the fire mark and gash on his hand and spear stab are all just small wounds.
2 seconds left. Water swooshes out at him from Kayla’s left eye. He tries to block again, but it’s too much water too quickly and he enlarges his entire body, except the one hand so that blood doesn’t get everywhere. The water swishes at his armor suit and doesn’t seem to do much. Kayla opens her mouth and the top of her head tilts back and a red light shoots out of her mouth, hitting me. Rage hits me. Oh no.
I stop time. I snap, i grab the spear and shoot a fireball. A second fireball from Kayla heads at him too. Ice stops me at my feet. Didn’t see it coming. His metal reaches out at me. He gets hit. The metal is heading to my eye, about to go into normal time and I slide and slide and it speed up and stabs through the side of my face. Barely missing my brain, still slicing through bone near my eye but not in my eye.
He was no longer large. I am still stuck in ice at my feet. He is stuck halfway under a rock. Kayla dives at him with one arm and a dagger shining with lightning. The world slowly fades away before she hits him. We are now in the mansion basement from before. Wounds still here. Weapons not except my trident and Kayla’s bracelet.

My feet hurt. No. My feet feel nothing. I look down and realize that they have completely lost all ability because of the ice. Kayla walks over to him. Raises the bangle above his face and fires. The world dissipates.

I wake in a bed. People surrounding me. I’m not back in zodra proper yet, one last trap to deal with. I wake again. This time irl. Guess I’ll finish that tomorrow.

This was already scored above. Just for those that want to finish the arc. I’ll post last nights dream in my dj for those that want to keep up.
