Normal Dream Challenge 13 - Winners Announced!

One ND here, no bikes recalled.

Had 1 ND here this morning. No tasks.

8th and 9th
1 lucid dream + 1 fragment.

No tasks done, I think.

Hello everyone! I was away during the weekend but am back now, and scores have been updated!

:rofl: Sorry about the bike politics, but at least you’re getting close!

Fixed. I’m used to everyone being at least 12 hours behind me in time, so I’ll need to keep this in mind. :peek:

Also,

Congrats on being the first participant this NDC to complete their personal goal!! Feel free to pick a new personal goal, or you can stick with this one if you would like to attempt achieving it in an ND and thereby getting more points for it than you have for completing it in an LD.

Congrats on claiming the first [color=darkblue]chain[/color] of this NDC! Keep in mind that re-entered dreams count as separate dreams from the first, so I’ve counted your “really long” dream as two. :content:

Also,

I couldn’t help noticing that you had fragments both early in your sleep, and then again after two WBTB alarms. About fragments, the rules state:

So please let me know if you feel like you have done this and should instead be awarded an additional set of Fragment Recall points for this night.

DEILD does indeed count as separate, since you woke between dreams. You also get points for [color=darkblue]chaining[/color].

Also, congrats on being the first to achieve this week’s task! (Despite it being in an LD) :wink: . I really like your idea of a flying bicycle!

Nightmare fragments counted, because I completely understand not being able to type up nightmare fragments. :woah:

No tasks, but congrats on the LD! And I hope you get better soon and are able to run your half marathon! /me gives healing cookie

i tried to imagine the feeling of pedaling a bike as i fell asleep and ended up with this fragment:

its not quite riding a bike but perhaps more adventurous than a penny farthing? somehow the rules have no stipulations for modern art interpretations of bike riding.

bonus task 2 was only for tricycle, pennyfarthing or unicycle. Interesting fragment though. :smile:
5 points for ‘see a bike though’

You could also gain points for the art bonus from it or indeed art from any dream. Limit of one per week.

September 09: 1 ND

Thank you for all your hard work and doing such a great job on hosting! :good:

My 3am WBTB alarms are when I get up, pee, have a cup of tea and meditate, and go back to bed with the intentions to WILD or LD in some other way. My other alarms I usually just jot my dreams down and go back to sleep.

So for the night you are asking about, I had three fragments before my WBTB (would count as one), and one dream and one fragment after (Would count as one dream and second fragment?)

So yesterday. Would you believe that I found an old bike in the woods behind an old cabin! I thought FOR SURE it was a dream… What are the chances of that happening in real life when you are trying to incubate it in your dreams?? Hahaha. After plenty of varied reality checks, I determined it was indeed in real life.

Looks like my incubating is working in this world instead of the dreamworld :rofl:

Needless to say, I brought the bike home. (It was crown land and the bike had clearly been deserted for a solid year or more). Riding it down the trail was fun, with flat tires and seized brakes :tongue: I believe I just said yesterday “If only I had a bike irl to incubate with”. Thanks Universe :bow:
With a bit of elbow grease today, I’ll have Incubation Bike up and running in no time.

I thought for sure I’d dream of bikes last night. Alas, I did not. Just one dream to report here.

Had 2 NDs here this morning. No tasks…

Non-lucid dream in which I run from some lit fireworks.

At least I’ve got some recall back, even if they are all fear dreams.

I’m on holiday at the miment, so I’m not able to scan and upload artwork. I do have my sketchbook, pencils, and watercolours with me, so I can draw a dream for uploading next week.

Fragment of a hide-and-seek game in a dark apartment at night, very high up. Heard a cool bassline synth upon waking up, but unfortunately I quickly forgot the melody so I can’t recreate it.

:peek: Scores have been updated!

Yep yep, that would count it as a second fragment, since you had a significant WBTB in between.

Also wow! Congrats on finding that bike IRL! Seems like you really did incubate it into the waking world. That’s some powerful incubation! :woah:

We look forward to seeing your art! Please ensure that it was drawn and is for a dream that takes place before Week 2 tasks are posted this Wednesday.

Keep in mind that anyone can make dream inspired art based on a dream entry from theirself or from another participant, but you can only claim points once a week. Personally, I think it’s an easy 20 points and can’t wait to see what people come up with. :content:

Thanks, will add the dates too to avoid confusion.
My new goal is to stand on the Golden Gate Bridge with Kevin.

Didn’t have good recall the past two days, just added one more entry from this morning (September 10), I guess this is a fragment.

We’re only a few days in, and I’m already behind… :meh:

Here’s a nightmare from the 9th link

Should be another +3 dreams from the 9th & 10th, but I haven’t managed to finish the write-up yet.

Two ND’s on Friday, DJ entry

3 ND’s and 1 LD today, DJ entry
One task: In “Kittens” I see a bike

In “Yes, I swam in a dream” I dreamt I remembered a dream in which I completed my personal goal. But then the recall had totally disappeared :cry:

September 11: one fragment where I was riding a bike, and one ND

September 10: Fragments only

One dream and one fragment before my WBTB, and after, one dream and a really short moment of lucidity after a reality check.

Had 2 NDs here this morning. No tasks…
