Thread: Contest of the Month for May 2015

2 non-lucid dreams: 2
2 fragments: 1
1 lucid dream: 5
lucid time: 1 minute: 1

I'm also confused about dream length scoring: if I have 2 lucid dreams in one night, each under a minute, is that +1 +1 (= +2) or just +1 (just talking about duration category)?

What is the granularity of the length scoring? Per dream? Per night? ??? More examples, please!

And are LDs scored as regular dreams too, or separately? So is one LD and one non-lucid +1 +1 (two dreams) +5 (lucid) or just +1 +5?

night total: 9
competition total: 17.5 + 9 = 26.5

2 lucid dreams under a minute = 2 points, because every lucid dream has separated points for lenght.

Non lucid dream = 1 point
Lucid dream = 5 point

so it is 1+5

Thanks for the clarification. So duration is per-lucid and non-lucids are 1 point and lucids 5 points.

yep

Last night 0 points

Day 3/31

0 wbtb = 0 point
1 fragment = 0.5 point
2 dreams = 2 point
0 lucid dreams = 0 points
lucid time 0 minutes = 0 points
night total = 2.5 points

lucid time total = 0 minutes
contest total = 9.0 points

So, last night I had what felt like 2 different dreams, but they were so close to each other that it didn't seem like any time had passed from one to the other and I had trouble figuring out when one ended and the other began. Does that still count as 2 dreams?

It's up to you. If you didn't "feel" like they were the same dream, and if they had nothing shared like location, DCs, plot, etc., I'd count them as two different dreams.

Thanks Fryingman.

Was lazy and slept again after my alarm this morning. Was pleasantly surprised with a short DILD! Tried to do the smelling TOTM but all I could find was bird seed which sucked into my nose when I tried to smell it...

Finally some sleep.
2 full dreams = 2 points
2 WBTBs = 2 points
1 lucid = 5 points
10 minutes = 2 points
Total = 11 ₩ points.

Total total = 11 + 2 + 5 = 18 points

Gonna get a nap in today and actually go to bed before 2 tonight. excitement.

2 dream = 2 point

lucid time total = 0 minutes
contest total = 4.5 points

A quick scan of the avatars in the thread shows some of my favorite DV'ers are participating…I will try to make time for this and post something for the days I have missed so far, hopefully by today or no later than the 5/7 deadline. Thank you for running this Nfri!

Fogelbise! Yay!

I have been letting some recall slip through my fingers by not taking a moment to record or commit to memory, but perhaps this competition will help me to give recall the attention it deserves. On the bright side, I had one of my longest LDs Sunday morning which I posted in my DV DJ if interested.

Short DILD (dream thoughts initiated variety -"If this were a dream…wait!"). I am not sure if I would have been able to extend the LD since I woke straight from it to my alarm.

1 wbtb = 1 point
1 fragment = 0.5 points
2 dreams = 2 points

night total = 3.5 points
contest total = 14 points

1 wbtb = 1 point
1 fragment = 0,5 points
2 dream = 2 points
1 lucid dreams = 5 points
lucid time 1 minutes = 1 point
night total = 9,5 points

wbtbs month total = 3
fragments month total = 3
non lucid dreams month total = 4
lucid dreams month total = 1
lucid time month total = 1 minute
contest month total = 14,5 points

Recognized false awakening followed by non recognized false awakening with 20 minutes false wbtb. What a mindfu*k.

One dream where I throw a mushroom to large brown bear. Then he follows me and I start running, then climbing a wood shack scared as hell. When he almost got me, I wake up.

Feeling not well in reality lately and it manifests into dreaming, so I need to recover and heal myself.

I noticed that our LDs are not so everlasting as well I think we can do better! Anyway, we are LD DV ELITES SO LETS PULL IT!!!!


*I've got an idea for a simple easy lucid dream induction technique that may be gamechanger. No promises before testing it when I'll feel better.

^^ you had a false awakening plus 20 mins false wbtb dream? Man, this is crazy!

Hope you feel better soon!
