Reality Check: I tend to have a lot of game dreams so whenever I play any videogame I’d like to do a reality check.
Personal Goal: Have a cup of tea right before bed. Preferably chamomile. I love that stuff.
First post!! I’m excited for this LC! I can’t wait to see what it brings! My only confusion is that dream art is worth three points (quite a lot by comparison) and is listed under “things to do in dreams” when it seems like something you’d do while awake. The only real concern about the point value is how easy it is to spam art… past LCs have had… issues, but we’ll see.
video game rc is a good one, i should probably do that since i have a lot of video game dreams too. and i always approve of more tea!
i made dream art worth a lot on purpose because in the lcs ive been a part of i havent seen many people doing it, and it is so much fun for everyone to see or read. art makes us engage deeply with the feelings and ideas around dreams in an important way. but obviously i havent seen the times when art spam has been a problem! it sounds like an oxymoron to me, my gut instinct is “bring on the art spam!”
i guess for now ill just trust everyone to be good… or else

Reality Check: I will try to do reallity checks whenever I arrive into a new place. I guess this should be super effective if I can do it properly
Personal goal: find time to take a nap every week end.
I love the ideas of reality check and personal goals like this! This really can change things
I guess the scoring part can be a bit weird though. If one does a personal reality check, a RC when one wakes up, 3 minutes meditation and writes a DJ entry, one would start with a daily 4 points?
That s quite huge huh?
Well I m still open for new things so let’s try
Seriously, I think it will be interesting to see how the new scoring system works out. Giving points for doing things that make LD more likely (but we’re too lazy to do unless there’s points on offer) might encourage people.
I really want to do some more dream art, but I’ve tended to be too busy with other things to get around to it.

Reality Check: Whenever I get the chance to. Admittedly have really been slacking off on this mainly due to lack of time and intensity of my workload at work

Reality Check: I will RC whenever I meet up with friends, since meeting up with friends and things becoming weird and awkward has becoming a consistent theme in my dreams lately.
Personal goal: Read Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming every night before bed. It’ll help me relax and just be nostalgic… I think it’s been about 10 years since I last gave that book a real read.

Reality Check: Whenever I get on/in or out of a vehicle.
Personal goal: 30+ mins of exercise every day. I generally do way more than this during the week, but the weekends tend to be 0… because computer games.
its so interesting to read everyones goals and reality checks, i am feeling inspired! “shoot a fireball out of my mouth” is one ive never heard before, i love it
For this LC, I might only post weekly or so (with dated dreams from my paper diary).
I have recently had the thought that logging on to a forum (e.g. to post dreams) every morning is potentially a slightly bad habit.
P.S. I love you all! This is such a great community! But I have reservations about the Internet in general … one of the greatest enablers of procrastination/avoidance that humanity has ever devised.
So I may be doing an " I am not an addict" demonstration this time.
Susan’s comment hit a nerve… enough to make me want to change my personal goal. As this seems to be a challenge about habits, then breaking probably my worst habit seems like a good shout. (Not that exercise isn’t an important habit, but blah blah something something rest days.) So I’d like to change my personal goal to be: No mindless phone browsing while watching TV.
To be explicit about my waking life personal goal - i’ll claim the points for each day I don’t read ld4all or do any other non-work related web surfing.
I don’t know what the effect giving up the Internet for the challenge will be. It’s possible the effect on my sleep will be that I have no recall at all. If that happens, I’ll take that as an interesting experimental result, and won’t be disappointed about getting a low score in the challenge.
