Night 9:

I've been attempting the Hypnagogic Technique (as described in Exploring The World of Lucid Dreaming) for a while now, and keep falling asleep too early and losing track of my thoughts. For tonight's attempt I'm going to try to go to bed earlier and sleep for longer before waking up for WILD, so I shall see if that helps.

Points:
Good reality checks = +1
Non-Lucid fragment = +0.5

Night Total: 1.5
Comp Total: 8.5

Plus, I've gotten similar/better results from regular practice alone.

Just my two cents.

I think supplements for dreaming are not quite the same as steroids for competition. You don't get guaranteed results, for one thing. For another, what constitutes "supplement": what about vitamins? Having a good diet? It's a slippery slope and not worth IMO going down that rathole. I use galantamine on and off and I find it's quite hit or miss. Sometimes the dreams are amazing, and sometimes I lose the entire night of sleep. I actually haven't had a LD from galantamine in a very long time, just vivid dreams.

Spoiler for Tbox lucid summary:

DILD 1 Summary(Duration ~45seconds): I realize I'm dreaming while sitting on a table with my magic trick friends on a Magic Convention. I start making my tricks to them with a pack of cards and decide to blow their minds away. I ask them to give me a random card, I take it, and I ask them to name any card. They do and I shake the card in the air and turn it around. It's the card they said. Everyone is completely blown away.

DILD 2 Summary(Duration ~20seconds): We're at a gas-station buffet with my mom. We get to the counter to ask for our drinks. I ask from the cashier what can we have and they reply: "Mudwater." I instantly become lucid and start laughing uncontrollably with everyone. I wake up soon after.

Night Total - 30 Points
Comp Total - 52 Points

Good luck to the last comp night everyone(whenever it happens on your timezone)!
