In honor of your achievement the rest of this message will be in purple.

Jee-ZUZ! Haha I'm lost already on the first night. Well I knew I was in the wrong group to start with.

Meanwhile I was giving CPR to a barbie doll and chasing away hooligans from the street corners (who I later was concerned may have been Danny Glover's children) while teaching my younger son to drive, . Non-lucid night, boo hoo. It will only take 57 sleep cycles, recalling 4 dreams every sleep cycle, or ~10 days to match that first day score, so I'd better start getting lucid because I do not intend to wake up every 1.5 hours!

I intend to wake up that often after the 5 HTP wears off, last Thursday when I thought the contest started earlier I was using alarm to wake up every half hour just to practice fragmenting my sleep. Now I only wake naturally.

I don't know how some people can recall like many dreams without waking up after every cycle, the other night I woke up 3 times and journaled on computer, then computer rebooted and lost all the dreams, luckily when I woke up to write down the 4th dream I remembered the 2nd one, but lost the 1st and third ones completely. I tried hard but could only get impressions of one and fragment of other.

Without waking up I can only remember several segments of the same dream, it may seem like 5 dreams but I can remember the transitions, even if they make little sense and so count them as one (especially as usually I have only been asleep for like 40 - 100 min and so couldn't have dreamed more than 2 dreams)

I wake up all the time during the night. Last night was an off night for me, but I still woke up 3 times.

I really don't like the idea of supplements because they really throw off your natural rythm.

I am like Sensei and journal throughout the night. If I write up all my dreams in full, it can take me hours, so I usually just write summaries of the non-LDs. Or if I'm too tired to journal, I just accept that I may forget them by morning. I generally remember 2-3 dreams per awakening, sometimes more or less. I journalled my dreams from last night over about 6 awakenings. I'm not usually that diligent (I often let the more boring ones slide ), but improving my DJing practices was one of my main motivations for joining the comp.

Either way, I just edited my last post with a link to my NLDs and fragments.

Just your lucids, but I would recommend posting the link to your Non lucids if you do type them up.

A weak night for me...

Where? No basic flying on my list that I can see... I counted 1x advanced flying (super speed/space) for each LD.

Congrats so far, everyone! Looking forward to reading your DJs.

Nvm, it was another DILD. You are good hehe.

Hey Percy, just making sure you read the replies that Sensei and I provided for your question about L-DEILD (here and here).
If my understanding of your L-DEILD technique is correct, it means that you wake yourself up from a lucid dream and DEILD back in.
Based on the definitions in the OP, that would only earn 2 points for "Chain a Dream", not 5 points for a new WILD:

• First WILD of the Night - 10 points
• Subsequent WILDs - 5 points
Note: DEILD after a non-lucid dream counts as a WILD

• Chain a Lucid Dream - 2 points
Return to a lucid dream after a brief awakening mid-LD

I think 1/night sounds fair, like you said though, no point farming. It does give you a slight point/dream advantage over people who use in-dream methods to stabilise/prolong their dreams, so be wary of the spamming rule and only use it when you actually need to.

Frikin awesome plan! A pack of tigers taking on the giant! Sounds pretty epic to me, count me in.

Let's take em down!

Night 1:

I remember nothing = 0 pts

Great start...

Night 1:

2 fragments - 1 pt

Night 1 Total - 1 pt
Competition Total - 1 pt

Nothing awesome for me yet, 3 full dreams, hence 3 points.

As for goals and stuff...

3-step tasks:
1. Flying
2. Advanced Flying
3. Element Manipulation (preferably fire breathing)

Personal Goals:
OLD - Transform into Ryuuko
NEW - Get a good impression of how Ryuuko looks
NEW - Further the dream plot of DsC



There were however a few weird dreams. I'm not quite sure about a few parts, where I know I was somewhat dreaming and at the same time actively thinking and processing, yet not really lucid. It was weird but I take it as a good sign.

Might join you on that

Adding some new old personal goals:
OLD
Visit Zödra
Visit Dreamer's Reach

Ugh, not that great of a start at all:

If I had pretty much the exact same dream 4 different times, do I get to count them separately?

If so:


Day 1
4 fragments: 2 pts
2 full non-lucid dreams: 2 pts
(failed) RC: 1 pt


Day 1 total: 5 pts
Competition total: 5 pts

Originally Posted by KestrelKat

hmm we get points for failed RC or only when in lucid dream?

If so in one of the dreams below I was licking stuff off my hand and spitting out the salty taste (an eating stuff/ RC combo we'll call it the faux chocolate hand reality check, but only if it works)

Day 1 points = 5
Day 2 (200-5HTP 75-B6 100Melatonin)
1 fragments +.5
4 dreams +4 (10:30pm, 12:45am, 1:40am, 3:00am)
wbtb +2
2 hrs insomnia +0 (3am-5am gave up 4am)
=======
6.5 points

dream 1 driving around, latter sorting thru stuff what to keep throw, later find proof of need for design
dream 2 defending van and objects in parking lot form old and young woman thieves walking off with stuff
dream 3 offending slightly insane midget in an auditorium event
fragment some type of new security algorithm where your identified by know sequence of events that happened to you
I'll now patent it as the 'big brother 1984 all day awareness multi-factorial authentication'
dream 4 some event and rearranging desks and cleaning up afterwards

total 11.5 points

my computer rebooted and I lost notes on dream 3 but still remembered the dream, may have lot some dream / fragments
the last dream at 3:30 was very long and vivid with many segments and good recall
usually about this time of the week my dream recall and clarity picks up peaking on Saturday

Previous 2 days points 11.5
Day 3 (200-5HTP 75-B6 100Melatonin)
2 fragments +1
5 dreams +5 (10:00, 12:30, ??, 2:30, 3:30

fragment 1 about correlating predictions and reproducibility
fragment 2 about giving veterans their day with campaign of 'every game counts'
dream 2 about a reckless baby that I was trying to help and save from its own braveness, parents punishing for being bad baby
dream 3 about a claymation like game using birds and fish and two circles
dream 4 about seeing pictures of myself as a child always wearing suits, even in one of a log ride
dream 5 mostly about 2 girls and a fair, but also about dogs snakes and presents

total 19.5 points

Day 1:
- 1 NLD (1pt)
- 3 DJ comments (1pt)
TOTAL POINTS: 2

I think I was going to do a WBTB but fell asleep.

OK, off to a somewhat decent start, with perhaps my earliest comp LD yet at night #2, not very high scoring although it *almost* approached a personal goal, but not quite.

As for recalling dreams without noticing wakings, yes it's tough, and detail definitely suffers. On big recall nights, I do notice wakings, but sometimes I don't record, but I do mentally journal, and create and maintain a mental list of all dreams throughout the night, and record only in the morning. Some detail does suffer, sometimes later dreams overwrite earlier ones or earlier ones are forgotten, but it's a compromise vs. waking up too much and losing more dream time/sleep time. I did this last night and managed to maintain the important impressions from most dreams. It's also an excellent way to exercise recall and stretch your dream memory storage. But if you want absolutely every single detail possible, recording at each waking is pretty much required. Recording also relieves the pressure from having to spend time refreshing the list on every waking, so there is that also as a trade-off.
