Thread: Magical May Dreaming Competition

Heya! The competition is here! It's arrived!!!!!!!!!! Ok, now to the serious business:

This is my first time hosting a competition after 1 year of being on DV. As this is my first time, my thread layout isn't spectacular.

Competition Begins: TUE 1 MAY - 8:00 PM (Your Time)
Competition Ends: FRI 1 JUN - 8:00 PM (Your Time)


I know nothing about advanced links so unfortunately there won't be a live scoresheet. Every week, maybe on a Friday or Saturday (AEST), I will add a post with the current scores.

Rules:
- Be fair to others
- Be fair to yourself
- Ensure all dreams are supported with evidence (your dream journal)
- Please don't be sneaky and try to calculate more points than you should.
- In contrast, believe in yourself and don't be too harsh. If you don't understand a scoring criteria, read the example scenario further down the post, or message me (or if it's short and only a one-off occasion, you can put in the thread).
- HAVE FUN!!!!

Teams:
The teams are "Ruby" and "Sapphire". I've finally learnt how to upload imaged on the computer. I changed the ruby one but the old thumbnail is still lingering about at the bottom of the page.

Objective Of The Competition

Explore your dreams and in the process of that, explore yourself! Discover who you are. The points are a bit different in this competition. There is a fighting chance for non-lucid dreams, just so they can have some fun too but their standard tasks are capped at 1.0 and advanced at 2.0 (except for the reality check which will only apply for successful lucids), that way, performances by lucid dreamers aren't threatened and if you keep the lucids going, you'll win anyway. But remember, with me, it's all about the fun and improving the general quality of your dreams, including recall.

Non-lucid only aspects:
- Recall a full non-lucid dream (1.0)

- Recall a non-lucid fragment (0.5)

- Recall any non-lucid dream over 3 consecutive nights - Can't skip a night or the chain will be broken (an additional 3.0)

- Recall any non-lucid dream over 5 consecutive nights - Can't skip a night or the chain will be broken (an additional 5.0)

- Recall any non-lucid dream over 7 consecutive nights - Can't skip a night or the chain will be broken (an additional 7.0)
NOTE: Once you have completed the 7 night chain, you will have to start your chain again. So the 7 chain would be an expected maximum of 4 times.

Lucid only aspects:
- Recall your first lucid dream of the night (10.0)

- Was induced via DILD (an additional 5.0)

- Was induced via WILD (an additional 5.0)

- Was induced via WBTB (an additional 2.0)

- Subsequent Lucid Dreams: all methods (5.0)


- Recall a lucid dream over 3 consecutive nights - Can't skip a night or the chain will be broken (an additional 9.0)

- Recall a lucid dream over 5 consecutive nights - Can't skip a night or the chain will be broken (an additional 12.0)

- Recall a lucid dream over 7 consecutive nights - Can't skip a night or the chain will be broken (an additional 15.0)
NOTE: Once you have completed the 7 night chain, you will have to start your chain again. So the 7 chain would be an expected maximum of 4 times.

Help With Points
Example Scenario:

___Non-Lucid
The sky was grey, a bird was swooping down viciously towards me. I thought he was going to peck my eyes out. I cried "Help! I'm not invincible!". My dream guide appeared and acted as a barrier between me and the bird. The bird hit her but nothing of hers was affected, she was indeed invincible. She then took me to the city and pointed to a homeless man sitting in front of the book store, I decided to give him $10. After that, I met Lisa in the cafe, who is my DV comp team member in real life. Just as another DV team member Grace was walking in, the dream ended.

Full NL dream = 1.0
Summon DG = 1.0
Help someone in need = 1.0
Meet a team-mate = 1.0 for Lisa, 0.5 for Grace = 1.5
TOTAL POINTS = 4.5

___Lucid
The sky was grey, a bird was coming down towards me in slow motion. "I'm dead", I thought until I looked down at my fingers and noticed six of them. "Hang on... it's a dream!", I said to myself. I had control now, I breathed the element of Earth which repelled the bird away in the opposite direction. The dream then took me to the city. I could explore but I knew there was more potential, so I summoned my dream guide to ask her what I should do. She appeared and pointed to a homeless man sitting in-front of the book store, I decided to give him $10. After that, I met Lisa in the cafe, who is my DV comp team member in real life. Just as another DV team member Grace was walking in, the dream ended.

First lucid of the night = 10.0
DILD method = 5.0
Breathe an element = 6.0
Help someone in need = 4.0
Meet a team-mate (Lisa) = 7.0
Additional team-mate (Grace) = 3.0
TOTAL POINTS = 35.0
