Oops, I meant night total = 4, but the contest total was correct (I hope...)

I'm slacking...a lot >_<
I just need to go to bed earlier~

5/22 Alcohol is NOT an appropriate LD "celebration" tool -- for the 2nd time this week it has resulted in a close to no-recall night. The trend is clear: alcohol = no dreams for FM.

Total = 10 points

Comp total = 192 points

I didn't get to sleep until 5 last night. So glad that I had an awesome lucid dream in spite. Running from titans is always fun and scary.

I had way more dreams last night, but I freaking woke up late and I only tagged 3 and the lucid before going to church. :/

Had a couple zero pointers last week - was out of town with work and didn't get much sleep. I did manage to get 2 lucids in 1 night though! Not that impressive at ~2 minutes each but it's still my second PR of this contest! Contest total: 105

Motorcycles are pretty awesome for a lucid dream. Been a while since I have driven one. I ended up stopping and sitting and thinking to try and think of my goal. It took me like 2 minutes to try to think of just a new goal since my goal wasn't coming.

1 WBTB=1 point
2 fragments=1 point
1 non lucid=1 point
1 lucid=5 points
lucid time=4 minutes=1 point
night total=9 points

competition total=209.5 points
total lucid time=46 minutes

OK, so carbo-loading right before bed (big ol' plate of Pad Thai chased with a fat slice of pepperoni pizza) does not lead to the best dreaming. Neither does getting a wrong number call at 4am (normally I'd be excited "hey a free WBTB") but this BTS took hours, darn. Just a few frags and one solid dream, all about conflict.

1 non-lucid: 1
3 fragments: 1.5

Good induction, not as good stabilizing. I actually later told people in my dreams allllllllllllllll about dreams. :/ should have gotten lucid again there.

Comp total = 234 + 26 = 260 points
Total LD time approximation = 154 minutes
Total LDs = 18 LDs
Average LD time = 8.55 minutes
Total non lucid dreams = 96
Total dreams = 114
Average (total lucid dreams/total dreams) = .15789 or 15.789%
WBTBs = at least 2 every night but one night (only got a few hours of sleep that night) :/ Wish I would have written down how many I actually did.

Gonna be busy for the next 2 days and am leaving the next day, so I didn't want to do this whole thing while busy, just update it. I will be finishing the comp a couple days early though. :/

Fantastic results, Sensei! Congrats! Great stats! I think it's fair to say you kicked our butts in the last couple of days. Been pretty busy this month as well, so I think even if you kept updating you'd still have a higher score.

I want to wish you to have a fantastic time on your vacation, eat some Ramen, have fun and let us know how awesome it was when you are back.

I picked up a late shift at work. I didn't know it'd be that late!

I won't have time to dig through my posts to provide the excellent stats that Sensei and dolphin provided, but I can estimate that my percentage of lucid dreams is lower than both of theirs but my lucid length is very satisfying. My lucid length is primary coming from the supplement galantamine (was experimenting with it once per week, but upped it to no more than twice a week and these are the days where I get my longest lucids-like May 24th). I had previously shied away from any supplements but after talking to a few long time LD'ers, I decided to try it once I got to LD#300 (my first 300 LD's in adulthood were all natural, but tended to be shorter on average). I believe Sensei does it all natural, so I would encourage anyone starting out to develop your natural abilities first before trying supplements, and then only after careful consideration and consultation with your doctor.

Is Sensei going to Japan? Sounds awesome!! That gives me an LD idea!

I haven't been posting for a while, because I didn't feel good lately and yesterday I was on biopsy. :/ but hope it'll be okay. Anyway I love your results! Last week of the contest!
