Stayed up late to write my sleepwalking ideas, too tired to write my dream, then forgot it. So no dream recall

Since you can be aware of your IRL body while still dreaming/LDing (has happened to me), It might be possible to control it while still in the dream state. I've heard about a guy who, while dreaming, heard his IRL phone ringing. He became lucid (or was already) and became aware of his IRL body. While still in his dream, he could move his IRL arm and answered the phone. He even managed to say hello, but heard gibberish and woke up right after

So maybe the most hardcore dreamers can go for something like that (controlling your IRL body while staying in an LD), or maybe I'm too optimistic about people's capabilities

Anyways, I understand that my idea isn't applied, that might've been too crazy lol (maybe making a whole other comp dedicated to that is the right move)

Day 2

Noon 4/15/2025 to Morning of 4/16/2025

I'm glad I got the lucid this night, as it represents progress. Despite this I was not prepared for it. Good thing is, I improvised and got some points!

By the way, this week I'm using the SSILD method.

Day 3

Noon 4/16/2025 to Morning of 4/17/2025

First time trying prospective memory practice. I did okay, but I (still) don't understand prospective memory very well. My triggers for this day were: 1. Seeing / Thinking about showers 2. Going outside or coming inside 3. Opening my laptop.

Number 3 was the hardest...

Day 4

Did poorly on Prospective memory, but I think that's because I had harder triggers. They were Potted plants, Analog Clocks, and Opening my laptop.

Day 5

Noon 4/18/2025 to Morning of 4/19/2025

I was really busy this day, mainly because of participating in a sporting event. Thus, did worse on reality checks. I must have been really tired because I missed my WBTB, and also no recall.

Day 6

Noon 4/19/2025 to Morning of 4/20/2025

I made a plan for this day! Here's what I wrote in my dream log: RC, Meditate, Early Bedtime, No Distractions, Mantra, WBTB, SSILD, LD, Recall Goals, Set Intentions, Stabilize, Complete Goals, Record Dream.

It didn't do very well, and got to bed late, so my recall wasn't good. I also basically gave up in the middle of the night. But, this plan has been a good framework for me over the next few days.

Day 7

Noon 4/20/2025 to Morning of 4/21/2025

Today I meditated!!! That was fun. Although, it wasn't really meditation, it was actually a lucid dream related hypnosis video. I'm unsure how it affected me, but it was very calming and got me excited and motivated about lucid dreaming. I still got to bed late, though. I also tried to do my WBTB, but fell asleep while trying to remember the dream I just had. ��

Final Thoughts

• My recall tanked at the end of this week, which I attribute to late bedtimes.
• I still think SSILD works well for me. Almost all of my lucid dreaming related experiences are regained awareness, and SSILD somehow creates a lot more of those and false awakenings. So I'm trying to get really good at catching false awakenings and practicing SSILD every night.
• First attempt at meditation Guided Hypnosis. The thing is, this guy also makes some meditation stuff, and I feel like the practices are (Even just superficially) connected. Nevertheless, I want to try actual meditation, alone, and see what that's like.
• Finally, sorry for the long post, hopefully it's not a problem. Some time I will replace the [[]] blocks with links to DJ entries. Also, week two is going well! Good job, everybody!

Edited to add points for dream control task.

Night 7
Reality Checks (Good): 1

Night total: 1

https://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/bri...wimming-97858/

Night 8
Reality Checks (Good): 1
Non-lucid (x1): 1

Night total: 2


Comp Total: 23

Prospective memory targets: Every time I hear water (Faucet, rain, drip, etc...)


I've been counting those prospective memory targets separately, percentage-wise, but always keeping the maximum points total at 1.0. So for my two targets, both having consistencies greater than 33% of the time, but less than 66%, they each gained .5 points for the total of 1. If I'm botching the calculation for this, and it should just be the averaged percentage between all targets that should be considered, just let me know!

Night 8

Rc- excellent-2
Meditation- 50 minutes- 2
Wbtb-2
Remember non lucid dream- 1
DEILD- 10
Interact with DC- 2
Teleport-10
=29

Hello, I'm coming in super late, but plan on staying till the end! (And I appreciate the nudge @Saizaphod)

Three-step tasks:
- Reality Check/Stabilization
- Interact with a Dream Character
- Basic Summoning

Personal goals:
- Summon a pineapple (I've only had 1 really good lucid dream and the main thing I did was summon little objects, so this would feel like a step up in terms of size )
- Summon a pool room


My points:
(Previous days)
Good Reality Checks (April 19th, 20th, and 21st) = 3
Non-Lucid Fragments (April 18th, 19th, and 20th) = 1.5
Non-Lucid Dream (April 21st) = 1


(This night)
Reality Checks = 1
Non-Lucid Fragment = 0.5


Night Total: 1.5
Comp Total: 7

https://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/jad...night-9-97861/

DILD 10pt
DC Interact 2pt
Flight 5pt
Use Electronic Device 5pt (didn't work)
Advanced Summoning 15pt (Someone tell me if this botched/unfinished attempt counts. I can still take basic summoning for having my slate if not.)

(also I think I lost track. Yesterdays dream was night 8, todays was night 9)

Sorry for my absence, hit a rough spot right from night 1. Dreams are returning, though, and had several nights in a row where I should have gotten lucid.

I'm going to estimate 17 dreams since my last update (night one) through now.
Average RC every day: 1x9 = 9
2 dreams a night 2x9 = 18

comp nights up through 4/23 @ 00:00: 27

comp total nights up through 4/23 @ 00:00 = 5 + 27 = 32

Sorry for the late update, did an all-nighter prepping for night 9 and slept 13hours(which worked!)

Sorry if any points here are wrong, I can't load the first page to check.

- 2 Points
- I at least personally always count the lucid as the dream itself = No extra point. Might have to add that to rules or I don't know how people have always counted it themselves
- 2 Points
- Have to catch it (become lucid)
Np Off-topic you totally belong in the Intermediate tier in the next competition

- "I became fully lucid in my imagined scene - I got shocked out the dream, but continued the technique and was soon back in." Sounds like a DEILD to me, 2 Points
- Not sure if this would be considered point spamming(probably is not going to lie... ), but since I didn't realize to say anything about it its fine, this time. Also you only counted the Task points, you get the Control points on top(Three steps are meant to be stackable). So +...25 Points!

Spoiler for Lucid and map:

We're with my brother in some random bottom-floor apartment, when I look out of a window and into the sky. There's an unnaturally black and squarely-shaped cloud looming over a small lake. We turn to look at a small television at the corner of the room, and there's news broadcasts of an alien ship in the atmosphere. No f*cking way! I look back and the thing is now moving and I can see taints of metal behind the clouds. Holy sh*t! We get extremely uneasy, we're almost directly underneath a massive UFO. I do an instantaneous nose pinch and feel air moving into my lungs. Wait - I do it again. I realize I'm dreaming. Sort of as to ground the situation and to make it more realistic, I pretend my brother is real and tell him to pinch his nose as well. At first he refuses to believe it's a dream but I convince him. We then head into a corner bathroom to hide from the aliens and to prepare to teleport away(which we do, but I started losing lucidity quickly after).

If I had retained awareness through the rest of the semi-lucid (that lasted around 5minutes), I'd gotten points for Teleportation, Meeting an Enemy(Tbox), Mass Telekinesis(Destroying an entire shopping mall), Use an Electronic Device, Gain Invulnerability(Going through a shredder unharmed), and Basic Summoning Only after waking I realized I was pretty much dreaming about being lucid for the remainder of the dream.
