All right, off to a strong start!

RC: 1 point
Flying (also the first of my 3 step tasks): 10 (these can stack, right?)
3 NLDs: 3 points

Total for the night:24 (unless I can't get points for both "flying" as a basic task and "flying" as the first of my three step tasks. If not, then it's 19)

I was hoping for a lucid, but it seems not.. well, I would’ve gotten one, if it weren’t for that FA.

Q: (Okay comp rules say dream control counts only once per dream/chain. I wouldn't say several hours of waking and then another DILD is really a chain though so I'm going to fully score both lucids.)

Damn nice start, congratz!

A: This is correct

Then it's the back of my eyelids, then when I float back into the dream it's the lighthouse room again.

I try and go talk to him

Forest and stream

Yes. Also depending on your interpretation this would also count for Partial Transformation 5 points/Full Transformation 10 points.

Chain a Lucid Dream(Return to a lucid dream after a brief awakening mid-LD.) +2 points.

Interact with a Dream Character +2 points

Was this a lucid dream too(Forest and stream)? If so it counts for a subsequent DILD/WILD/another chain.

Your entries are wonderfully elegant in nature and congratz on the lucid! Sorry for the long reply, from a point-checking perspective it's a bit hard to keep track of the lucidity parts when the entries are long and the font color stays the same Let me know your decision on the transformation and the 'Forest and stream' part, until then I'll add the 4 Points.

Sorry I'm late guys! Forgot this started last night.

As for last night, I had one full dream I can recall.

Night 1:
1 dream: 1 point

Comp total: 1 point

I'm drinking some Mugwort tea tonight so I'm hoping that could help induce a lucid, or at least help with recall. Wish me luck!

Hey all, sorry for not getting my goals out earlier! Going to bed for night 2 but I'll quickly drop that and night 1 results:

3-Step Task:
- Reality Check 1p
- Ask for Advice 5p
- Use an Electronic Device 5p

Personal Goals (all 15p):
- Full transformation (gotta attempt this again lol)
- Travel to a fantasy city

Now for night 1 results:
- 3 non-lucid full dreams - 1p x3 = 3p

---

3 full, detailed dreams!! I'll copy them from my journal to here after night 2, but anyway. After weeks of drought and being sick recently this is just crazy. I guess I can thank summer letting me sleep in for that :^)

Man, Mugwort didn't do it's magic this time. Honestly I think it's because I had a really long week and was super tired last night and went to bed a little late which usually kills my recall. I won't be able to post tomorrow at all but I'll keep track of my dreams and post nights 3 and 4 once I'm able!

Choose 3 different Dream Control Tasks - -excluding RC/Stabilization.

Goals must be different from other tasks in the competition, eg. "telekinesis" is not acceptable. More specific/unique versions may be okay, eg. "use telekinesis on a DC"

ditto, more specific

I was lucid in that part, but it all felt like part of the same dream, not a separate dream. Sorry for the confusion. That night was actually all just one dream that I remembered. I use a lot of sub-headings in my DJ though just because it makes it easier for myself to read. I don't have font colors in the app I use for my DJ that I copy from, but I'll add some for lucidity in the next entry for the competition.

I didn't count that as a transformation because it was involuntary, I observed it rather than thinking about it or planning it.

Does interacting with a dream character count if he doesn't say anything back? I hadn't noted that one because he didn't talk to me.

And out of curiosity, would being lucid, then losing lucidity, and becoming lucid again the same dream, count as a separate DILD?

Night 2

DJ Link: https://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/har...terlude-95772/

Points I think I hit:

x2 Remember a Non-Lucid Fragment - ½ point
First DILD of the Night - 10 points
Basic Summoning - 5 points + 5 points for dream guide/supernatural character not from waking life

Total: 21

Night 2
DILD

I'd say yes, you are actively trying to invoke a reaction/do something to a DC.

If there's no awakening in-between its the same dream, so no.

Gz on another lucid think you woulda been better off in the Intermediate group

Night 2

https://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/jad...id-bomb-95773/

x4 NLD (4pts)
x1 WBTB (2pts)

night 2
1 dream-1 point

dild-10 points
phase through solid object-10 points
first of 3 step task-5 points

dild-5 points
phase through solid object-10 point
fly-5 point
second of 3 step task-10 points
basic summon-5 point
third of 3 step task-15 points

Spoiler for lucid dreams:

dild- I was in a house and a fireman walked in and i wondered what he was doing there and then I wondered what I was doing there, which made lucid. I tried phasing through a through wall then couldn't. I decided i had to calm down and then phased through a mirror, which let me to a void. A dream scene of a room formed and then i woke up.

dild- I forgot how i became lucid but I caught a false awakening. I phased through the window and flew. I saw a waterfront city. I summoned a map to try to see where I was, but I couldn't open it. I summoned another map and opened it, but I struggled to read it.

night total-76 points
competition total-78 points

It was completely my mistake that I didn't get lucid and had lackluster recall. Something happened during WBTB and it essentially messed up the rest of my sleep
1 dream - 1 point
WBTB - 2 points
Night Total - 3 points
Comp Total - 8 points
