Thread: Winter Competition 2024

Night 1:

I don't know if it was from having coffee too late or being excited to WBTB, but it took forever to fall asleep so I called off WBTB this time.

I was checking and checking if there would be a thread... then it was posted later in the day after I stopped checking! So I had no idea of the competition starting until now

Well, last night was rough for me, so...

Night 1
Link: https://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/har...pajamas-96528/

Brief Meditation - 0.5 points
Full Nonlucid Dream - 1 point
Nonlucid Fragment x3 different dreams - 1.5 point

I'm choosing things I've never done before for my three step task, hopefully this doesn't backfire

Three Step Task:
DC Manipulation/Mind Control
Object/DC Changing
Element Manipulation

Personal Goals: (all ones I haven't done before)
Climb a staircase without losing lucidity
Go past the "walls" of a dream scene*
Learn a dream recipe
Visit a museum and remember a piece well enough to sketch IWL
Visit the bottom of a sea or lake

Previous High-Score to Beat: 235.5 (Summer 2023)

*I often have nonlucid dreams where I'm technically outside but it feels like I'm enclosed in walls, often at a beach that feels like it's inside a room. So I think it would be interesting to try and break through that.

Alright, time to tame my sleep schedule again and get rack up some points.

Three Step Task:
Gravity Manipulation
Asking for Advice
Element Manipulation

Personal Goals:
Play with Lightning/Shoot Lightning
Controlled Flight
Enter the void
Visit my created recurring dream home

Nope, no membership needed.

--> then in the Edit Signature text field paste in:

HTML Code:

starting at the [img] and ending after the other [img]

That should do it.

Spoiler for Lucid dream:

Non-lucid Lucid

- As I'm climbing the skyscraper's side escaping my chasers (League of Legends characters), the night is slowly starting to fade and a bright sun begins to shine. I become lucid. I quickly hop my self through an opening and stand on a platform over the city. Eventhough I'm almost 200 meters/600ft above the street level I'm very confident in my abilities and courage and decide to jump down. I jump and fly down smoothly without fear for a while, while guiding my movements in the air. A parachute appears on my back before I land. - - False awakening at one point - - Later in the dream I find myself on a sunny beach that has a large construction site on it. I regain lucidity. As soon as that happens, I mistakenly anticipate my chasers reappering and to no surprise I start being chased again. Fizz from League of Legends is coming towards me and I jump on top off a shipping container on the construction site. Instantly the whole dream scenery turns into some apartment complex and I'm shooked by the intense and sudden change of location. I'm standing on top of a large bunk bed now instead of the container. Fizz has dissapeared. I feel uneased and decide to get out of the apartment. I start jump-levitating from furniture to furniture and head towards the balcony from where I could escape. I get to the door but - there's no handle! In fact there's no handles in any of the doors! As if the dream itself wanted me to be stuck inside the place. I'm not having it and decide to leave by other means. I phase-jump through the wall window and then phase through the balcony glass, but I end up in darkness and wake up.

Night Total - 26 Points
Comp Total - 27,5 Points

Question - does talking about the theme with a DC, but not actually going through with it, count?

Also the DV coins are a really funny idea, I love it.

Night 2

Decent reality checks: 0.5 points

Also, I remembered 3 fragments from the night before last after the scores had been posted. If it's not too late to update the score, that would be another 1.5 points. So:

Competition Total: 9 points (if we count the 1.5 from the night before last)

I'm going to say no on this scenario for the theme.

I ask the women, with little conviction, "Do you want to turn into giant monsters so I can defeat you?"[3]

They laugh too. One says, "sure, I'll be an alligator, what about you?" and after thinking, her sister bursts out in laughter and says she'll be a giant baboon.

I laugh too and the whole idea seems idiotic and contrived in the moment so I decide we won't do it.

It would be a bit of a stretch...I think if they actually transformed then yes. And then more points for the challenge if you defeated them.

Yesssssssssss! I'm so happy the DV coins showed up! I can't take credit for the idea, it was from the Competition Suggests Thread, from cedwards105!

That might be a different game idea altogether though - more of an ongoing thing, I don't know.
