Are team tasks supposed to be shared dreaming?

[MyCooky]

Night 2: -remember fragment: 0.5 -unsuccesful WBTB: 1 -became lucid: 5 DJ Entry -total score today: 6.5 -total score: 13 Pretty much the same as last night XD

[FryingMan]

Are team tasks supposed to be shared dreaming? Nah, just as long as you believe in the dream that it's your teammate. Like summoning them, or getting a DC to answer "yes" to "are you XYZ?" Holy Crap! how did I not recognize that before :::imagines Hiro lifting hands up in the air and yelling "Frying man!"::: Heh yes I thought I'd get more shout-outs on this name, you're officially the first to publicly "get it." (even though I described my name in my original DILD workbook post). I should probably try to get a screenshot of Hiro doing that and making that my avatar. -became lucid: 5 Pretty much the same as last night XD Nice, two in a row, looks like we have a ringer in lower...I'll do my best to be one, too

How many points for TOTM please? Just add up the individual actions according to the first post in this thread...

[VagalTone]

Today results -2 dream fragments - 1 - lucidity ( accidental, just remember stabilizing it and performing some finger tapping for a LD research ) - 5+2 Total competition: 7,5

[StaySharp]

My life is as ironic as ever, and after my last post I didn't have that much of a recall tonight, but I got lucid, which still bodes well. But even though I managed to stabilize it at first it didn't last long after I went to Fly. 3 Full Dreams: 3 Points 3 Fragments: 1,5 Points Became Lucid: 5 Points Reality Check: 1 Point Stabilized: 2 Point Flying: 4 Points Full Transformation: 8 Points I completely turned to a person of my choosing, including wings, a tail and horns. Does that still count only as partial or full transformation? I changed pretty much everything about myself except the basic human shape. Unfortunately turning into the dragon doesn't count as bonus task, but I should try it once I get lucid again 1 Step (Flying): 5 Points Total night/competition: 29,5 Points

[Zoth]

Today results: pretty bad night, kept waking up and then taking ages to fall asleep 0o 2 dream fragment: 1 + 1 failed WBTB= 1 point = 2 total individual score= 4.5 points.

[Bharmo]

One dream, one fragment, WBTB attempt = 2,5pts Total: 5,5pts

[MyCooky]

00:00 Saturday 2013-12-13 competition #16 night #2 1 fragment - 0.5 5 dreams - 5 attempted WBTB - 1 night total: 6.5 competition total: 9.5 How do you even remember 5 dreams?? I envy you! (...and no, I'm not l lying about my dreams if anyone thinks that...)

[Sensei]

My cooky check out the dream recall compendium bin the dream signs.and recall subforum. Also check out people like Oreo and hukif that have 5+ LDs per night. (that would be in the previous competitions, or talk to Oreo who is always on chat). Went to bed at 130 again. hung out with some brand new friends, that isn't something I do very often. either way. 5 hours of sleep gave me: 2 dreams WBTB attempt Total = 3 points

[JoannaB]

Day 2: 3 fragments + WBTB attempt = 2.5 points + previous 2.5 = 5pt total

[FryingMan]

How do you even remember 5 dreams?? I envy you! (...and no, I'm not l lying about my dreams if anyone thinks that...) They were spread over two wakings. 5 is on the low side of average for me, especially when I'm in full swing. These ones were short but usually I have longer. I've had nights (not recently alas) with 4+ wakings each one with 4+ remembered dreams. The key is recording right after waking up from the dreams during the night, and waking up right after each dream/REM period (for me based on the timing it's almost always per REM period but there are cases of for example 30-45 minutes between wakings). In the cases where I wait until morning to record something from the middle of the night, I usually can't get much more than one or two sentences of detail, so recording right after waking up is key. Each night I set intention that: "I have interesting and meaningful dreams," "I remember my dreams", "I wake up after every dream, remain still, remember and record it" and after waking up if no recall comes in immediately I ask myself "what was I dreaming about?" If I'm not aware of the dream ending (almost never except for LDs and near LDs), sometimes I have to keep my mind focused on remembering, sometimes it just floods in on its own. Usually it just takes a few seconds but sometimes it takes minutes. I keep trying to recall for 10-15 minutes sometimes. I still roll over automatically after waking, if I can get that under control I'd probably remember a lot more....working on it! edit: I use a voice recorder app, I can record much much faster and more clearly than I can write. I get details out faster before I forget them, and I can record with eyes closed so as not to wake up too much. I then transcribe to written computer files later in the day (or a few days later if I'm lazy...bad, should do it same day without fail).

0 points for me tonight. I'm doing a project right now where I'm trying to read every single Peanuts comic strip and pick my favorite one from each year. I've read single every one from the 1950's. It seems to severely impact my recall if I read comic strips for 8 hours in a day on my day off. Luckily, I have a job which will force me away from my obsession. We'll see how it goes though.
