SCHEDULE & RULES
The competition begins onFriday, July 5th, at 8 PM YOUR time (wherever you are).
The competition will end on Friday, July 19th, at 8 PM.
Track the competition score LIVE, and see your personal stats here: Live Scoresheet
*Teams and leagues, expert and intermediate in particular, have been adjusted to provide a balanced, competitive match between participants. In the case of considerable imbalances due to drop out, lack of participation, etc., the host may adjust teams slightly at the halfway mark to ensure a fair balance. Prior to any team switches, permission will be asked of participants.
Please message me if you notice anything that needs correction.
*Please note that this competition has several additions: prospective memory practice, expansion of themes, points for dream journaling and side quests. The first three provide additional avenues/opportunities for beginner and intermediate to score extra points for daytime practice/recall while the last item is primarily to provide an extra challenge for expert league (although beg/int can certainly go for it!)
Please reach out if you need clarification at any point its not a problem!
Rules:
Honor system: Be honest and trust others to be honest.
Lucid dreams must be posted in your dream journal on DV with link posted here to count. If its short, you can put it in your post in a spoiler. If you don't want to post it because of sensitive matters or anything like that, then you can PM it to me.
Dreams must be lucid for Tasks and Goals to score points.
Don't abuse the point system - No spamming. Spamming means intentionally finding loopholes and using sneaky tactics to get ahead of other members, rather than earning points the normal ways.
TEAMS
Even if you arent scoring points, please post it in the thread so we know you are participating. If you know you will be unavailable for a period of time, please post something to let us know, or PM me (Onei in Discord or simply on Dreamviews).

POINTS
Daytime Practice & Recall (Beginner and Intermediate only!)
Meditation(Brief/Medium/Long) - ½ Point/1 Point/2 Points (Only counts once per day)
Brief: Less than 15 minutes.
Medium: 15-30 minutes.
Long: More than 30 minutes.
Reality Checks (Decent/Good/Excellent) - ½ Point/1 Point/2 Points
Decent: You've performed a few quick checks throughout the day.
Good: You've interrupted the day a few times to question reality for around 30 seconds each time.
Excellent: You've interrupted the day many times to question reality for around a minute each time.
Tip: See Sporadic Awareness Technique (SAT) and/or Reverse Reality Checks (RRC) on dreaviews to start. You will be better served by performing fewer, thoughtful checks compared to more, thoughtless checks. For example, question where you are and what you have been doing. Does the temperature make sense for where you are? Is gravity working as expected? Are any of your top dreamsigns around? This one heavily depends on the honor system, so please report your level of reality checking honestly.
Prospective Memory
1. Choosing targets each morning
1/4 point may be gained each target chosen in the morning, for a maximum of 4 per day (1 point maximum per day)
2. Recognizing targets & performing reality tests
For each prospective memory target, 0 1 point may earned for each by performing a reality check within a few seconds of recognizing the target (4 points maximum)
-If opting to recognize target only on first occurrence, score yourself simply as a 0 or a 1.
-If opting to recognize targets on each occurrence throughout the day, use the rubric below.
Target hit less than ~33% of occurrences : 0 points
Target hit between ~33% - 66% of occurrences: .5 point
Target hit on greater than ~66% of occurrences: 1 point
Recall/Dream Journaling
- Remember a Non-Lucid Fragment - ½ point
- Remember a Full Non-Lucid Dream - 1 point
- 2 additional points may be earned each day for writing out dreams in detail each day and posting them in your dream journal on dreamviews.
Induction(Beginner and Intermediate only!)
In order for you to get points for an LD, you need to write it in your DJ on DV and post the link here.
If you think more than 2 fragments are from the same dream, count them as 1 Full Dream instead.
If it is your first DILD or WILD ever, add 10 points. If it is your first DEILD ever, add 4 points.
First DILD of the Night - 10 points
Subsequent DILDs - 5 points
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 (Max. 10 points)
Return to a lucid dream after a brief awakening mid-LD. A DEILD chain is over once you are awake long enough to write down the dream.
Catch a False Awakening - 2 points (Max. 10 points)
Continue or regain lucidity during a false awakening.
WBTB (success or failure) - 2 points (Only counts once per night)
Dream Control Tasks
IMPORTANT! - Points don't stack for completing a single task that falls in multiple categories (i.e. Normal Dream Control, Personal Goal, etc.). Instead, it counts for the highest-scoring category. If you complete the same task multiple times, then it can count for the additional categories. Note that this rule does not apply to 3-Step Tasks, as those have always been purposely stackable.
Each task can be completed once per dream/chain.
Advanced versions of tasks earn points instead of basic versions, not in addition.
Basic Tasks

Persistent Lucid Elements
Points only start counting after the second occurrence. Occurrences before the competition also count, and they can have happened in non-lucids).
Points for each persistent lucid element can only be claimed once per night.
Elements cannot be something that exist in real life as they are (with the exception locations pertaining directly to the theme). A few examples of elements the wouldn't count are: your family/your phone/your home etc.
Place and Realm do not stack.
The difference between a persistent Realm and persistent Place as defined here is that Realms are created by the dreamer intentionally (IE a dream palace) and then visited in separate dreams while a Place is somewhere you've chosen to visit in separate dreams.

Expert: 10 Points
Three-Step Tasks
Choose 3 different Dream Control Tasks from the Basic and Advanced Dream Control tasks above, excluding RC/Stabilization. DV Extra Tasks, Challenge Tasks, and Team/Enemy tasks can not be declared for the Three-Step tasks.
Beginner: Pick any of the Basic or Advanced Dream Control Tasks
Intermediate: At least 1 of the 3 must be Advanced Dream Control Tasks
Expert: All 3 must be Advanced Dream Control Tasks
Tasks must be completed in order.
Multiple tasks can be completed in one dream, but they can also be completed in separate dreams.
You may change tasks at any time, even if you are on task 2 or 3, as long as your updated task choices are posted before the night you complete them.
If you choose to include an Unspecified Dream Control task, describe your task here in advance.
In addition to receiving points for the Dream Control task, you will also receive bonus points:
Complete first chosen task - 5 points
Complete second chosen task - 10 points
Complete third chosen task - 15 points
If you complete all 3 tasks during the first week, you may pick 3 more tasks to complete in Week 2. The same difficulty requirements from above apply.
Team Tasks
Asterisks* indicate that points can only be claimed for these tasks once during the competition.
Meet a teammate - 7 points (once per dream/chain)
Each additional teammate in the same dream/chain - 3 points
Have your teammate complete a lucid task excluding RC/Stabilization(in-dream)* - 10 points
Have a teammate teach you something* - 10 points
Have a teammate take you into their dream(figuratively)* - 15 points
Rival Tasks
Note: "Rival" refers to a member of the competition on a different team than you.
Asterisks* indicate that points can only be claimed for these tasks once during the competition.
Note that dream characters only count as "Rivals" if they are identified as such within the dream (IE: Rival task points are not awarded to Team Human for any titan encounter unless they are identified as a participant from Team Titan in the competition).
Meet a Rival - 5 points (once per dream/chain)
Each additional rival in the same dream/chain - 3 points
Fight a Rival - 10 points
Fight one or more rivals with your teammate(s)* - 20 points
Convert your rival to an ally* - 10 points (rival must start out opposed)
Convert multiple rivals to allies in the same dream/chain* - 20 points (rivals must start out opposed)
Beginner and intermediate only:
Fight an expert rival* - 30 points
Expert only:
Fight the whole rival team simultaneously* - 30 points
Personal Goals
Choose your own goals to complete in a lucid dream.
Unlimited additional goals can be selected, but only ONE per night can be claimed for points.
Each goal can only be scored once per competition.
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" - ask if you're not sure whether it's too similar to another task.
Goals must require some degree of thought, not just things you might accidentally do in a dream anyway.
You can find some ideas in the Lucid Dares thread under "Anyone Dares".
Post your intended goals in this thread (wrap in spoilers if the list is long). Goals will only be awarded points if they are posted in advance.
Complete a NEW Personal Goal - 15 points (something that you have never done before in a lucid dream.)
Complete an OLD Personal Goal - 10 points (something that you have already done in any previous lucid dream, including outside of the competition.)
Dream Journal Points
Points will be awarded at the end of the competition for posting comments in other contestants' Dream Journals. Only DJ entries containing dreams from the competition are included.
Only one comment per DJ entry will earn points (a conversation on the same entry will still count as one.)
Add these to your posts as you go. Include how many DJ comments you made each day in your scoring posts, and I will add them to the scoresheet.
1 point will be awarded for every 3 DJ comments.
This is just a little kick to get people posting in Dream Journals. I feel a lot better about writing in a DJ knowing that people are going to read and comment on it; I am sure others feel like I do. It isn't worth many points because this is a dreaming competition, but it could add a few bonus points to your final score.
When posting comments in a DJ, it is helpful to "like" the entry so that the member will get a notification on DV. You should also "like" any comments on your DJ when you read/respond to them, so that people know you have seen it.
Make sure you read the dreams so you can make a comment with some substance (more than a quick one-word comment.)
Keep track of how many comments you make, and post that total as part of your final night's post to have them scored.
Drawings
Hand-drawn and AI artwork do not stack.
Post hand-drawn artwork of your dream! - 2 Points (Only counts once per night)
Post an AI generated artwork of your dream! - 1 Point (Only counts once per night)
Keep track of the type (hand versus AI) and number of drawings you make, and post that total as part of your final night's post to have them scored.
DV Coins
I've just gotten it on good authority that a bunch of DV Coins have been added the collective unconscious! They are about the size of your palm and they have "DV" on them! You must be lucid when you collect coins to be awarded points, though please tell us anyway if you find one while not lucid because that would be funny for all of us! If a DV coin makes you lucid, AND THEN you collect it, this will count for points!
Collect a DV Coin! - 2 Points (Only counts once per night)
Keep track of how many DV coins your collect, and post that total as part of your final night's post to have them scored.
Side Quests
*Each side quest may only be completed once per competition
1. Weapon Forging - 50 Points: Beginner & Intermediate ; 25 Points: Expert
Epic Weapon
Create a weapon with at least one magical property (must be tested).
*Experts must craft the weapon on a forge.

Legendary Weapon 8 Points: Beginner & Intermediate ; 4 Points: Expert

Point may be claimed for up to two of these upgrades.
* Be creative with imbuing; think adding runes, gems, spells etc.

2. Magic Tomes - 30 Points: Beginner & Intermediate ; 15 Points: Expert
Discover a magic tome, containing a least one magic spell.

6.7.24 - I had a really weird night.
Woke up 5.5 hours after going to bed, started WILD and when i had an almost full dream around me i started to feel vibration in my head which spread i to my whole body and my ear started ringing, i got nervous since i have very limited knowledge about astral projection and no experience, also i had to swallow and it slowly stopped after that. Didnt fall back asleep, not even any hypnagogic images. I gave up after 2 hours and got up.

Yesterday:
Dream Journal: I dreamed of exploring a game-like dungeon with a lady. I can't really remember much else because my alarm clock was too loud (usually it isn't).
This doesn't count for points, but I'm glad I went to bed on time and didn't use screens before bed.
Goals for Today:
Meditation - Twice
Reality Checks - try this once today
MILD - made anki flashcards that I will test myself on twice today.
Dream Journaling - trying to be more consistent with this
WBTB - gonna try this 6 hrs into sleep
Intention Setting - I will think about an Alliance character I will create for this comp and try to dream about him in Stormwind City. One thing I remember about WOW is all the flying around the city I had to do.
-
Night 1
Was too sleep deprived to be lucid I think. Just fragments.
I went to bed late at 12am, I was getting almost instant hypnagogic imagery, it felt like I was looking in a dark room with shelves and objects on them.
I remember dreaming about looking at a freckle in a weird spot on my shoulder.
