      Contest of the Month for May 2015

      Hello!


      I want to hold a friendly contest for better motivation in course of May. Unlike classic competition, it's not focused about dream control and lucid activities. It'll be less time consuming and more casual, because posting DJ on Dreamviews is optional and scoring is simplified.


      Rules


      - There is no need for registration, just write your first post not later than 7th of May and you are in
      - Continuously post your results at least once every 4 days in the contest's thread which starts on 1. May at 20:00 of your local time
      - Contest ends 1. June at 11:00 a.m. your local time
      - No cheating!
      - Use healthy self-criticism
      - Posting your dreams on Dreamviews DJ is optional
      - Recording your dreams in your own dream journal is necessary for valid points (paper/electronic/audio)


      Points categories



      Wbtbs (Wake back to bed)

      - You must wake up from bed and do some activity that makes you more awake and aware from the usual groggy state in the bed (walking, sitting and reading, eating, stretching...)
      - 1 wbtb = 1 point
      - limit of wbtbs is 2 per night (max 2 points a night)
      - for valid points, you don't need to become lucid after wbtb


      Dream recall

      - dreams must be taped (written by hand, pc, audio record...)
      - 1 recalled dream fragment = 0,5 point (fragments from the same dream are limited by total 1 point that it can't exceed 1 point for the full dream)
      - 1 non lucid dream = 1 point ( memory of action or series actions in one dream)


      Lucid dreams

      - 1 lucid dream = 5 points ( If it's series of DEILDs, it's 5 points for all DEILDs in total. Advantage for Deilders is in lucid dream time category)
      - semi-lucid dream is not counting as a lucid dream, but as non lucid dream


      Lucid dream time

      - one of the main pillar in this contest is to focus on the ongoing time in lucid state and knowing the precise lucidity duration, always keep this on mind
      - longer lucidity = more points
      - be sober in estimating the time spended in lucid dream
      - 5 minutes being lucid in a dream = 1 point

      1-5 minutes = 1 point
      6-10 minutes = 2 points
      11-15 minutes = 3 points
      16-20 minutes = 4 points
      etc. (for example 42 minutes = 9 points)


      Scoring template

      - please try to post your points clearly and simple. For example:

      1 wbtb = 1 point
      3 fragments = 1,5 points
      2 dreams = 2 points
      1 lucid = 5 points
      10 minutes = 2 points
      night total = 11,5 points

      contest total = 24,5 points




      CONTEST STARTS 1. MAY AT 20:00 P.M. OF YOUR LOCAL TIME, GOOD LUCK!

      ah, so it doesn't start until tonight. I wasn't 100% sure until now. I had 3 LDs last night too. I got a TOTM anyways, so I am still excited about it.

      I'll join too! Got my internet back finally after a full month or 2 of no net TnT
      But I prob won,t gat anything these couple nights, visiting my mother, and the dog here!
      I fill my heart with fire, with passion, passion for what makes me nostalgic. A unique perspective fuels my fire, makes me discover new passions, more nostalgia. I love it.

      Add me as a friend!!!

      I'm in! Even though I'm way out of shape when it comes to dreaming. Time to get started again, I guess?

      I love that you can still get points if you have trouble lucid dreaming. But this month I'm gonna work hard to get one! I am so excited to try the bonus TOTM. Water bending will be my goal, and this challenge will be a fun way to try to reach it.

      3 Dreams: 3 points (you said that dream must be recorded. Does that mean that it needs to be posted here too?)

      Fryingman, I had it easy in terms of recall last night, having 4 FAs, so I think you did better than me.

      4 dreams-4 points
      1 fragment-0.5 point
      2 lucid dreams-10 points
      lucid time-4 minutes=1 point
      night total=15.5 points

      lucid time total-4 minutes
      competition total=23.5 points

      Is the lucid time/point calculation on a per dream, per night, or per month basis? I'm assuming it's per month.

      From what I understand if you were to have an ld and deild, those two would count as a single dream and the dream time points are also for a single dream. (i.e. 5 points for ld and any cumulative ld time)

      But if you have two separate lucid dreams, as in your case, you get points for each separately. So, I think you probably should add one more point for ld time if you count both your dreams being in the 1-5 mins range. Is this correct, Nfri?

      ---

      from last night:

      3 frags: 1.5 points
      4 dreams: 4 points
      1 wbtb: 1 points

      Contest total= 6.5 + 18.5 = 25 points

      It doesn't need to be posted here, only in your personal dream journal.

      Is the lucid time/point calculation on a per dream, per night, or per month basis? I'm assuming it's per month.
      It's up to you, I got lucid time per month for interesting comparison.

      From what I understand if you were to have an ld and deild, those two would count as a single dream and the dream time points are also for a single dream. (i.e. 5 points for ld and any cumulative ld time)


      But if you have two separate lucid dreams, as in your case, you get points for each separately. So, I think you probably should add one more point for ld time if you count both your dreams being in the 1-5 mins range. Is this correct, Nfri?
      This is correct.

      Okay, thanks! Both my LDs were about 2 minutes so I get one extra point.

      competition total=24.5 points
