RealityCheck 1.1 download

This one is integrated with DreamJournal 2.3 (you can change the intervals in the settings).

I wish there was a way to make people update from 2.1 and 2.2 to 2.3... The new version is really cool!

There are new ranks and the keyboard shortcuts endymion asked for.

And the online ranking is fixed.

This is probably the last update, so it's a great moment to... thank you for using DreamJournal.

I'm happy I could do something for the community! And this is a great thing to add to my portfolio. Anyway, now I can finally start recording my dreams.

Have fun and thanks for all your feedback!

WOO!

I haven't been writing down my dreams in a few weeks =[ I got out the habit and then forgot.
I think I might give it a shot properly this time

I glitched the system.

I downloaded 2.3, and then accidentally did what loseyateefa did, erasing the dream journal. I had already made my online ranking nick.

So I downloaded it again and fixed it...then I tried to get back to the online ranking but it says my nick is taken! So I tried to find the old Dreamjournal.exe but apparently I already erased it!

The Queen Zukin on the online ranking isn't home!

The backup feature proves to be useful.

I've deleted your ranking entry so you can use it again.

By the way, I forgot to list the new ranks:

Nobody - 0
Somebody - 5
Scholar - 15
Apprentice - 25
Day Dreamer - 50
Dreamer - 75
Dream Journalist - 100
Reality Checker - 125
REM Chaser - 150
Lucid Dreamer - 175
Dream Character - 200
Oneironaut - 250
Dream Walker - 350
Dream Guide - 500
Night Stalker - 700
Master - 1000

The new formula is:

short non-lucid * 1 + long non-lucid * 2 + lucid * 5 + basic tasks * 10 + advanced tasks * 25

And the keyboard shortcuts are:

Ctrl+B Bold
Ctrl+I Italic
Ctrl+N Non-dream
Ctrl+D Dream
Ctrl+L Lucid
Ctrl+S Save

And hey, where are all these people from the previous online ranking? Perhaps they're still using the previous version...

**Desert Claw** · 08-21-2009 03:30 PM

I guess I missed a lot

but I'm pretty sure I have 2.3... omg. I dont! no way!
downloading nao!

**legonut4** · 08-21-2009 03:40 PM

this is pretty awesome

what does the reality check thing do?

**James2302** · 08-21-2009 08:45 PM

the reality check 1.1 is a timer that goes off at set intervals to remind you to do a reality check (RC). it goes down on the status bar at the bottom of the screen shown here

when the timer goes off it shows this

you can edit the time intervals at the bottom of your dream journal settings

but if you change the time interval (eg. 10 mins to 60 mins) you must exit the current rc timer by right clicking on the status bar icon (see first pic) and open a new one, otherwise it wont change the interval.

To be honest, if there is a way to download version 2.2 again I'd like it. I don't use the online rankings or reality check program anyway, and I dislike the new ranking system. 200 lucid dreams alone makes you a master? And that longer dreams count more than short ones? The amount I write is the only thing that really makes the difference and even if it wasn't, I'm not sure how the length of your dreams is relative to skill. Plus, my own tasks count for nothing.

**Banhurt** · 08-21-2009 10:30 PM

Thanks for your opinion, though I disagree with most of your points. There were two reason the change the ranking system:

1. It was very very difficult to receive a new rank and a user who had just started his journal had to write down 100 non-lucid dreams to become... Somebody.

Now the system is more motivating.

2. The lucid : non-lucid ratio was 10:1 and it was too big. Now it's 5:1, so regular writing in the journal is almost as rewarding as having lucid skills. And if someone wants to gain points for their lucid skills, they can take up the Advanced Task of the Month, it still gives 25 points, that's really much.

Well, doesn't it? And before the changes, you needed 300 lucid dreams to be a master, so the difference is not that big, actually.

Yes, it is:

That was the motivation behind it and I agree with it. I'm not sure whether you say it's too easy or too difficult to gain points now. The one extra point for long dreams is extra, so just ignore the possibility of having it if it annoys you.

**DarkLucideity** · 08-22-2009 12:11 AM

The point wasn't about whether those things are good or not, it was about whether or not I can get version 2.2 again. Other people may like the ideas, but I don't.

**Kamilii** · 08-22-2009 12:59 PM

Banhurt the search system is awesome.I was expecting it to only search the titles but it searches the entries to

**Banhurt** · 08-22-2009 09:50 PM

The online ranking is getting mysterious. 'Entering DV 26/09/09' and that guy who started his journal in 1970.

I totally love you for making this.

Thank you so so much.

I decided to create a digital DJ here on the forums, and while searching for a convenient way to do that I stumbled upon this, and it's fantastic.

Fantastic.

**Banhurt** · 08-23-2009 10:24 PM

Thank you

Ok, I TOTALLY LOVE THE NEW TEMPLATE THING!!!! This is a great improvement thanks!!! And the RC thing is great too. And I'm no more a nobody =)

THANKS BANHURT!!

**endymion** · 08-28-2009 03:22 AM

Great update, Banhurt

Thanks for including the keyboard shortcuts, they will make typing flow much better! And I think your new ranking formula is an improvement as well. About rankings, when you check them do people only come up who are currently online, or is it a list of the top-scoring dreamers overall?

Also I love your idea of a stat counter to be used as a sig. I hope you can get this to work (sorry, I don't know enough to help you out on how to do it).

Keep up the good work

If by being online you mean having DreamJournal opened, then no, it is a list of top-scoring dreamers overall. You're actually not online after checking this 'Online' checkbox, it is just a setting that tells the program to send your data and receive the list every time you open the 'Ranking' tab.

**Kaylor** · 08-30-2009 03:41 AM

Absolutely fantastic. A little skeptical about the rankings though, this should be the last thing to ever be competitive.

Well, people are going to compete at anything and everything. I guess it's even possible to become a lucid dreaming snob.

I don't really care if I am "ahead" or "behind" anyone. I like the cute titles.

Thanks banhurt for giving this to us. Very kind of you. I lost my files, but I was able to restore the dreams with the backup file.

**Keitorin** · 08-31-2009 04:58 AM

Awesome! I like the Reality Check thing and the Rankings. It's a cute little extra. This new stuff gives me motivation to do better because I've been slacking off. Well, I've been recalling alright, but I'm always so exhausted that I don't go into detail like I should.

I object

It is great because its encouraging me to record my dreams. I think my rank is a little too high, because I stored many of my older dreams in it. old dreams shouldn't count towards the rank IMO.
