Thread: Spring Competition 2025

To remain awake as your mind lets go, that is the paradox. And paradox, my dear, is where the true artistry lies.

Dream Journal Entry

Night 3 started in the evening with a nap WILD attempt, fell asleep which is nice, didn't think/feel I fell asleep but after some delving recalled some fragments.

Dream theme
Frag:
Robot transformation selling people. They're like little robot faces that allow you to turn into a robot. Something about cognitive functions deteriorating after some years though

Subtotal: 12.5
RC: +0.5
WBTB +2
AI art: +0.5
Non lucid dreams: +0.5+0.5+1+0.5+0.5+1 = +4
Dream theme: +3
Total Night: +10

Total: 22.5

3rd Comp night! https://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/sky...p-night-97797/

RC: Decent i must say, set an alarm so I get interrupted now and again to do RC's. 2
Meditation: 0, should consider it but I don't think ill be able to sit still.
Prospective memory: Haven't set a target yet, should probably do my sink or toilet. 0

Non-lucid dream: 1 (the one i linked and only one of the night)

I should try doing WILD, think I will have more success.
WBTB: 2, Probably failed it though.

No points for task or theme. Will try next lucid to change theme.
Imagining robots and aliens will be hard I think... Or I could make the Aliens just look like monsters?... Will think more on that.

Persistent lucid elements: Does fantasy setting count for this?, Swords-2.

3-Step tasks
Basic Telekinesis
Eat or Drink something
Advanced Element manipulation

Goals
Make a persistent, or a semi-regular place where I dream.
Find out the secrets of my backyard. (found a massive laboratory once there)
Dream about a library and read the books.

Lets hope better dreams come!
Total DP: 6 or more? idk

I'm not 100 percent sure how to do this, but here's for the first three nights:

night 1:
dream fragment recalled (.5 point)
WBTB (2 points)

night 2:
full non-lucid recalled (1 point)
experienced hypnagogia (1 point)
WBTB (2 points)

night 3:
full non-lucid recalled (1 point)
experienced hypnagogia (1 point)
even though it was nonlucid, i used telekinesis - (5 points)
WBTB (2 points)

That would be a total of 15.5 points in the first three nights.
Something that also happened multiple times almost every night, is waking up, delving, writing down my dream, then realizing i hallucinated writing down the dream and i still need to journal. Does that count as anything? I'd say that happened like four times, and i'm not sure if that would fall in the "experience hypnagogia" or "catch a false awakening" categore?

More lucids on people, gz!
Tip: If you write something longer (like a long DJ entry/a long comment), take a copy of it before pressing the post-button, just in case the site happened to bug out and it would disappear.

- Sounds like 5, but your Comp total is at 38 now, you had a lucid night with 33 points
- Has to be a specific sword/swords

- Have to be lucid to score Dream Control points
- Have to catch it (become lucid). Hypnagogia got added for the first time mid-comp. I'd say you have to be aware in the hypnagogia state for it to count.

Day 3, slept through my alarm again somehow, i've turned my alarm to max volume and i'm going to place it on my bed so hopefully it will 100% wake me up.

Meditation was excellent, did 35 minutes before going to sleep same with reality checks, I managed to stop my day to do a thoughtful reality check lots of times throughout the day. Although I didn't count it must've been over 15, I spent over a minute genuinely questioning whether I was dreaming or not, usually if I think about something enough it starts appearing in my dreams so hopefully as a result of this i'll start questioning whether im dreaming in my dreams although only time will tell .

If my alarm doesn't wake me up tonight i'm not sure what i'll do, if anybody has any suggestions feel free to share.

Overall points = 4

Also Saizaphod I love the avatar, Mirrors Edge Catalyst is criminally underrated!

This resulted in uh, bad recall and no wbtb WILD attempts compared to other nights.

AI art: +0.5
Non lucid dreams: +1+0.5 = +1.5

OK, finally catching up on posting. It has been quite a week in waking life.

Question: Can I go back and add images later and still get the points? I'd like to add some, but I don't have much time this morning.

Yes you can. I did and it works. If your score has already been updated on the scoreboard before the addition of images, just PM Saizaphod to tell him

here comes the report for night 4 - also, i forgot to say, my main personal goal right now is to get a Shardblade which properly cuts and works (summonable big swords from Brandon Sanderson's stormlight archives)

Night 4:
full nonlucid - 1 point
two dilds: first one - 10 points
seconds one - 5 points
wbtb - 2 points
experienced hypnagogia - 1 point

night 3
0 points
night 4
2 dreams-2 points
DILD-10 points
rc-1 point
flying-5 points
advanced summoning-10 points
first of 3 step tasks-5 points

Spoiler for DILD:

I woke up in bed and heard some people talking, so I thought I might be dreaming, so I tried to float as a reality check and could. I flew outside and landed on the street and recalled my task to do an advanced summon. I made a slice of crispy bacon materialize in my vision. I grabbed it and took it to my mouth, but woke up before I could eat it.

night 4 total-33 points
