      Hey there folks! This is the thread to a little informal competition that my buddy Pastro conscripted me in to.

      The backstory: Me and Pastro are both moderately experienced LDers who, due to various factors, have got themselves into a dream recall and lucid dreaming "slump" lately. So as a sort of mutually beneficial, half-competitive and half-co-operative effort to break ourselves out of the slump, we thought we'd start a competition to compete against each other in a certain timeframe to see who can get the best results. Hopefully improving our dreaming at the same time.

      Here's how it will work:

      To start with, we'll have a two-week period of "recall regain". We'll focus on improving recall, regularising our sleep schedules, getting ourselves all back in tune.

      From then on, we'll start counting lucids. And we'll run the competition - eh, I dunno. A month? Just see how it goes. Maybe perpetually.

      So. We're starting today, which for me, is 10/4/07. We'll post each day with our results, even if we got nothing, on dream recall and lucids. Just rough summaries, not full dj entries. I'll merge results to make the thread not too lengthy iusing my mod powers.

      So yeah.

      On your marks, get set, GO!

      Full details and along with the rules of the competition will be finalized after the two week period. No other participants will be accepted. Good luck Blue!

      We are leaning towards no DILDs, and having never induced any lds myself this competition may take a while.

      Good luck, fellaz.

      And if you need a little support from an old trainer, Pastro, let me know.

      Night of 10/4/07

      Well, my first night of the first week of the sort of recall regain. I got two dreams last night in the first 5h30m of sleep, one of which I remembered and was very vivid, real-life vividity. The other I forgot. So, a good start. That's the most vivid dream I've had in a week or so.

      Night of 10/4/07

      For the first time in a few nights I made sure to write in my DJ. Nothing to exciting, one mediocre dream, two fragments, one involving Vex Kitten, the other Kaniaz. I was pretty much screwed from the start because I started using auto suggestion before I was relaxed, my thoughts then shifted to lucid dreaming and sleep, when I start thinking about sleep it usually takes me 1-2 hours before I fall asleep.

      Should be interesting to see these results, since competition requires extra effort which leads to some stress and a touch of anxiety (both anti-lucidity factors).

      The upside: forcing yourselves to incorporate those lucid aids which we often stop practicing (Dream Journals, amount of sleep, etc).

      Good luck, gentlemen. I'll just sit tight over here in the bleachers and wait for the beer-guy.

      Holy shit. I didn;t get anything last night because I got completely, utterly, off-my-head stoned. The first time - ever, actually, that I've been that bad. So yeah.

      Night of 11/4/07

      Two nights:

      13/04/07

      One dream remembered, though little more than a fragment. Still suffering from marijuana hangover lingering through the day.

      14/04/07

      Well, went out last night and drank a fair bit. So, yeah, fairly out of it, but I still managed to get a reasonably detailed and surreal dream.

      Maybe now that my mate's gone back to Oz, I can actually start improving my recall. As, this last week I;ve been staying out late and doing too many mindbending substances. Alcohol and Mary, mainly.

      This competition could not have come at a worse time, there is another playoff game and Im going to watch it for as long as it goes.

      Last night I had a fragment about me playing guitar hero 2.

      I completely forgot about this, oh well my recall is good enough to remember an ld when I have one. I believe I will begin with the WILD technique.

      This is great! I can't wait to see who'll get lucid first.

      This should be a regular thing, weekly matches between two members to see who can have a lucid dream first. Nahhh. This is more than enough entertainment for me.

      Get dreaming!!
