Thread: Contest of the Month for May 2015

Hello!


I want to hold a friendly contest for better motivation in course of May. Unlike classic competition, it's not focused about dream control and lucid activities. It'll be less time consuming and more casual, because posting DJ on Dreamviews is optional and scoring is simplified.


Rules


- There is no need for registration, just write your first post not later than 7th of May and you are in
- Continuously post your results at least once every 4 days in the contest's thread which starts on 1. May at 20:00 of your local time
- Contest ends 1. June at 11:00 a.m. your local time
- No cheating!
- Use healthy self-criticism
- Posting your dreams on Dreamviews DJ is optional
- Recording your dreams in your own dream journal is necessary for valid points (paper/electronic/audio)


Points categories



Wbtbs (Wake back to bed)

- You must wake up from bed and do some activity that makes you more awake and aware from the usual groggy state in the bed (walking, sitting and reading, eating, stretching...)
- 1 wbtb = 1 point
- limit of wbtbs is 2 per night (max 2 points a night)
- for valid points, you don't need to become lucid after wbtb


Dream recall

- dreams must be taped (written by hand, pc, audio record...)
- 1 recalled dream fragment = 0,5 point (fragments from the same dream are limited by total 1 point that it can't exceed 1 point for the full dream)
- 1 non lucid dream = 1 point ( memory of action or series actions in one dream)


Lucid dreams

- 1 lucid dream = 5 points ( If it's series of DEILDs, it's 5 points for all DEILDs in total. Advantage for Deilders is in lucid dream time category)
- semi-lucid dream is not counting as a lucid dream, but as non lucid dream


Lucid dream time

- one of the main pillar in this contest is to focus on the ongoing time in lucid state and knowing the precise lucidity duration, always keep this on mind
- longer lucidity = more points
- be sober in estimating the time spended in lucid dream
- 5 minutes being lucid in a dream = 1 point

1-5 minutes = 1 point
6-10 minutes = 2 points
11-15 minutes = 3 points
16-20 minutes = 4 points
etc. (for example 42 minutes = 9 points)


Scoring template

- please try to post your points clearly and simple. For example:

1 wbtb = 1 point
3 fragments = 1,5 points
2 dreams = 2 points
1 lucid = 5 points
10 minutes = 2 points
night total = 11,5 points

contest total = 24,5 points




CONTEST STARTS 1. MAY AT 20:00 P.M. OF YOUR LOCAL TIME, GOOD LUCK!
