Night 2, took AGES to fall asleep at initial bedtime. Recall kinda sad.

Subtotal: 7.5
RC: +0.5
WBTB +2
AI art: +0.5
Non lucid dreams: +1+1 = +2

Total: 12.5

Total DP: 8

im not understanding one thing. This night i had a dream where a robot arrived and almost killed me. The context of the dream was that i was defending my school from an attack and i was doing well, but then this robot (which is thus an enemy) cut my right hand and i got yeeted.
So, i've dreamt about an enemy robot and im on team alien. Do i get some points?

So, you gain +3 points for your dream matching the theme (Robots and/or Aliens, see Dream Theme), but you don't get the Enemy Tasks points (5 points for meeting an enemy and 10 points for fighting an enemy) because this enemy has to be a person of the Robots team (like DoctorFoxy or Sweven for exemple)

Also, if you fight an expert enemy (Oneirin), you get 30 points (counts once in the whole comp)

night 1:
0 points

night 2:
2 dreams-2 points
DILD-10 points
reality check-1 point
fully phase through solid object-10 points
flying-5 points
dc interaction-2 points

Spoiler for DILD:

I woke up and was recalling another dream, when I had a sense i might be dreaming, so I did a nose plug and could breathe. I got up from bed and I noticed a cat that I identified as my cat and I phased through the floor to go to ground level and went outside and jumped up to fly. I noticed that the cat was flying with me. I gave it a pet and it tried to bite my hand, so I kept petting it so it couldn't bite my hand and I did this until I woke up.

night 2 total-30 points
competition total-30 points

Yesterday:

- Stopped to do 2 min reality checks several times throughout the day, including smaller ones (2 points)
- Prospective memory tasks (very simple one, I need to find something else - I wanted to notice when it's 6pm and do an RC - without constantly checking for the time, lmk if this is too basic) (1 point)

- Got sleep paralysis (1 point)
- Remembered a big dream that turned lucid towards the end (1 point) DILD (10 points)
- There were cyborgs in my dream which turned into aliens in the end. Robots and aliens theme? (3 points)
- WBTB (2 points)
- My first DEILD! (counts as a WILD according to the post?) (10 points + 10 extra for being the first one)
- Second DEILD after the first one (5 points)
- AI generated image of my dream (will post in DJ) (0.5 points)

If I got those correct, it's 45.5 points.


I'm certain all this is because I went to bed really late after watching black mirror and therefore freaked myself out. It was a massive nightmare but I'm happy for all the lucid progress.


Points for last night: 45.5
Total points: 51

3 step tasks:
Eat/drink in a dream
Complete a waking life hobby (I'm going to try practising piano)
Interact with a dream character

Day 1 and 2 didn't go so great, day 1 I slept through my alarm, day 2 I woke up, turned off my alarm then went back to sleep without really thinking about it, I also forgot to write down my dream although im going to set a reminder on my phone to write it down that goes at the same time my alarm goes off so hopefully tomorrow I actually remember to write it down. From here on out i'm gonna try my hardest, this should be fun!

Reality checks have been good and same with meditation although I usually meditate for 25 minutes before going to sleep anyway since it helps me fall asleep although starting from tonight i'm going to start doing 35 minutes to score extra point!

I'm going to be using SSILD since I have a good understanding of it and have prior practise using it, hopefully the competition allows me to get some lucids!

Points total = 4 (Day 1 and 2 of reality checks and meditation) I'm pretty sure although correct me if im wrong, also i'm not 100% sure how this works so if i'm doing anything wrong feel free to let me know.

Good luck guys and have fun! (It doesn't let me post the team alien banner since I haven't had an account for a week but just pretend like it's here)

16/04:

Reality checks: 1 point
Meditation: 2 points
Dreams recalled: 2.5 points
Wbtb: 2 points
I dreamt about a robot: maybe 5 points?
That robot was an enemy: maybe 5 points?

I posted a question regarding the "Enemy tasks" section, in fact i dont know if i have to count those points

Some nice Night 2 lucids already! Gz to the dreamers!

I suppose it's sort of the same thing if you're questioning whether you're awake or in a dream.

Exactly what Agthoek said. Dream Theme points count whether you're lucid or not and on the same team or not, so +3. There's also missing the mention of lucid requirement on the Enemy Task which should be there. Adding it now. Need to be lucid for Enemy Task points!

Two days of RCs Good = 1p each day, Meditations 25min = 1p each day = Points total 4p(?)

Spoiler for RC and Meditation points:

• Reality Checks (Decent/Good/Excellent) - 0.5 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: You will be better served by performing fewer, thoughtful checks compared to more, thoughtless checks.

• Meditation(Brief/Medium/Long) - 0.5 point/1 point/2 points (Counts once per day)

Brief: Less than 15 minutes.
Medium: 15-30 minutes.
Long: More than 30 minutes.

Summary: Still no lucids, but I had a very long and vivid dream that I still remember quite clearly even now almost a day later. Gains are gains, I'll take that. I've made some large leaps in my understanding of ADA/SA, so hopefully the fruits of my labor will start to show in my dreams soon. Fight on, my fellow robots!

Night 2
Reality Checks (Excellent): 2


Comp Total: 5

No remembered dreams I did have to wake up a whole 2.5 hours before my normal time today so I'm hoping tonight I'll have some REM rebound!

Nothing good so far. Life sent me too much character development and I haven't had much time to focus on practice.

Meditated while trying to WILD but it often just keeps me awake. Second false awakening since the comp began (still didn't catch it) :

Spoiler for DJ:

(Fragment)

Me and three of my nephews in a house

Team WBTB

IMG_1095.jpeg

*false awakening* In my bed, I'm writting the dreams of me and a teammate of this spring comp (he's online in the notes app), I want us to go back to sleep for WBTB

To remain awake as your mind lets go, that is the paradox. And paradox, my dear, is where the true artistry lies.

Night 3 started in the evening with a nap WILD attempt, fell asleep which is nice, didn't think/feel I fell asleep but after some delving recalled some fragments.

Dream theme
Frag:
Robot transformation selling people. They're like little robot faces that allow you to turn into a robot. Something about cognitive functions deteriorating after some years though

Subtotal: 12.5
RC: +0.5
WBTB +2
AI art: +0.5
Non lucid dreams: +0.5+0.5+1+0.5+0.5+1 = +4
Dream theme: +3
Total Night: +10

Total: 22.5

3rd Comp night! https://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/sky...p-night-97797/

RC: Decent i must say, set an alarm so I get interrupted now and again to do RC's. 2
Meditation: 0, should consider it but I don't think ill be able to sit still.
Prospective memory: Haven't set a target yet, should probably do my sink or toilet. 0

Non-lucid dream: 1 (the one i linked and only one of the night)

I should try doing WILD, think I will have more success.
WBTB: 2, Probably failed it though.

No points for task or theme. Will try next lucid to change theme.
Imagining robots and aliens will be hard I think... Or I could make the Aliens just look like monsters?... Will think more on that.

Persistent lucid elements: Does fantasy setting count for this?, Swords-2.

3-Step tasks
Basic Telekinesis
Eat or Drink something
Advanced Element manipulation

Goals
Make a persistent, or a semi-regular place where I dream.
Find out the secrets of my backyard. (found a massive laboratory once there)
Dream about a library and read the books.

Lets hope better dreams come!
Total DP: 6 or more? idk

I'm not 100 percent sure how to do this, but here's for the first three nights:

night 1:
dream fragment recalled (.5 point)
WBTB (2 points)

night 2:
full non-lucid recalled (1 point)
experienced hypnagogia (1 point)
WBTB (2 points)

night 3:
full non-lucid recalled (1 point)
experienced hypnagogia (1 point)
even though it was nonlucid, i used telekinesis - (5 points)
WBTB (2 points)

That would be a total of 15.5 points in the first three nights.
Something that also happened multiple times almost every night, is waking up, delving, writing down my dream, then realizing i hallucinated writing down the dream and i still need to journal. Does that count as anything? I'd say that happened like four times, and i'm not sure if that would fall in the "experience hypnagogia" or "catch a false awakening" categore?

Hmm I'm not sure, I was going in and out of lucidity throughout that entire dream. :/ Maybe not, I don't think the time control was a lucid decision.

Comp Day 3
https://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/lok...-2-year-97799/
DEILD - 10
Stabilization - 1
RCs - 2
Day 3 Total - 13
Cumulative: 18 (what a boost lol)

More lucids on people, gz!
Tip: If you write something longer (like a long DJ entry/a long comment), take a copy of it before pressing the post-button, just in case the site happened to bug out and it would disappear.

- Sounds like 5, but your Comp total is at 38 now, you had a lucid night with 33 points
- Has to be a specific sword/swords

- Have to be lucid to score Dream Control points
- Have to catch it (become lucid). Hypnagogia got added for the first time mid-comp. I'd say you have to be aware in the hypnagogia state for it to count.
