      Contest of the Month for September 2015

      Hello!

      Sen's sex competition is over and there is no time for laziness. Let's continue through course of Semptember with another Contest. Unlike classic competition, it's not focused about dream control and lucid activities. It's less time consuming and more casual, because posting your Dream Journal entries on Dreamviews is optional and scoring is simplified.

      This contest mainly focused on your overall time spended lucid dreaming so please keep track of your lucid dream time total in your scoring template!


      Rules


      - There is no need for registration, just write your first post not later than 15th of September and you are in!
      - Continuously post your results at least once every 4 days in the contest's thread which starts on friday evening 11. September at 20:00 of your local time
      - Contest ends 1. October 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 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, singing...)
      - 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

      - for valid points, 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, so 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 = 2 points

      01-05 minutes = 2 points
      06-10 minutes = 4 points
      11-15 minutes = 6 points
      16-20 minutes = 8 points
      21-25 minutes = 10 points
      26-30 minutes = 12 points
      31-35 minutes = 14 points
      36-40 minutes = 16 points
      41-45 minutes = 18 points
      46-50 minutes = 20 points
      51-55 minutes = 22 points
      56-60 minutes = 24 points
      ...


      Scoring template

      - please try to post your points clearly and simple.
      - include total lucid time

      For example:

      1 wbtb = 1 point
      3 fragments = 1,5 points
      2 non lucid dreams = 2 points
      1 lucid dream = 5 points
      10 minutes = 4 points
      night total = 12,5 points

      total lucid time = 14 minutes
      contest total = 24,5 points




      CONTEST STARTS FRIDAY 11. SEPTEMBER AT 20:00 P.M. OF YOUR LOCAL TIME, GOOD LUCK!

      I'm in! I love that time is an important factor here, because I think the time spent in it is one of the greatest signs of skill. 1 Question: Is it subjective time or real world clock time? I'd think subjective time... But does that mean that if you spend like half a day in a lucid dream, you will get a ton of points? And how about time skipping?

      Edit: Lol Ginsan.. if someone here spends halves of days in their lucid dreams, I'd like to know how

      I'd like to participate. Though I have no idea whether I could have a proper sense of time passed in a lucid, have not thought about it before.

      Replay the dream in all the detail and dream footage you remember and watch a clock while pacing it at the dreams tempo, if it takes you 4 minutes to relive the whole lucid dream, it probably lasted about 4 minutes etc.

      I'm trying to climb out of a bit of a dry spell. Hopefully this will help!

      Quick questions, say I have 5 lucid dreams of one minute each. Would that count as (5X5)+2 points or (5X5)+(2X5) points? Also, does being lucid less than one minute in a dream count as points?

      I'm looking forward to the competition! Thanks for hosting.

      Glad to see you here!

      so if it's not DEILD, but regular DILDs or WILDs you have (5X5) + (2X5).

      And about lucid less than 1 minute: I think 1 minute is the minimum starting point, so it should motivate you try to keep lucidity at least 1 minute or more

      Game starts tonight?
      I am excited. I am probably not going to go all out like the other competitions. I am just going to use this as a fun way to track my LD time, dreams, and lucid dreams.

      I should expect 2-3 lucid of unknown duration between now and end of month

      Rule for Nfri tho: post your polysomnograms

      want to see what a plot of DEILD looks like on one (I assume your using the Basis from past images)

      Cooley, you should post your non lucids. I feel like you need some work on your recall! It is good for you.

      Well I had a great night again at long last. 2 lucids (one DILD, one DEILD) of a minute or longer, and gobs and gobs and gobs of non-lucids. Will post the details later, super busy with guests for the next several days.

      Was it the backing off on day work yesterday? Was it the skipping of the daily (intense, tiring) exercise? Was it my new, better sleep schedule kicking in? Was it the *real* WBTB I did (sat in kitchen with cat)? Was it the Opti-Men multivitmanin I took right before bed?

      A perfect storm, for sure.

      6 non-lucids: 6
      2 fragments: 1
      2 LDs (one DILD, one DEILD coming out of a non-lucid): 10
      each LD just over a minute long

      I'm confused about lucid dream time scoring. Is each LD scored by time independently of other dreams? Or are all LDs accumulated over the contest and the running time total receives a single score?

      In other words, are two one-minute LDs scored as
      i) 1 minute, 1 minute = 2 points, 2 points = 4 points, or are they scored as
      ii) (1 minute + 1 minute = 2 minutes) = 2 points
      ?

      If the former, then my night #1 total is 21
      If the latter, then my night #1 total is 19

      Each LD is scored by time independently of other dreams. I was confused about this too until Nfri cleared it up.

      It seems like you're getting better in terms of lucidity, FryingMan. Keep it up!
