September 09: 1 ND

@EarthlyInspired

One ND, and three or four fragments.

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:

@Rules

Fragment points are awarded on a per “night” basis, or once per nap. If you have a significant WBTB (eg: you get up, walk around, etc., and then return to bed)–and not just wake and jot dream notes before dozing off again–you will be eligible to earn an additional set of Fragment Recall points.

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.

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

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?)

[EarthlyInspired]

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

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 I believe I just said yesterday “If only I had a bike irl to incubate with”. Thanks Universe
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…

[Susan_Y]

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.

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!

@Susan_Y

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.

@Eilatan

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

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.

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.

[obfusc8]

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

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.

[Majah]

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

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

September 10: Fragments only

[EarthlyInspired]

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

[LizSFX2016]

Had 2 NDs here this morning. No tasks…

[Susan_Y]

Non-lucid dream in which I eat a brandy snap.

No worries. Just let us know when you add the other dreams in.

Congrats on seeing a bike! And LOL! Sounds like your dream was trolling you!

@Alot

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

Congrats on riding a bike!! But umm, I was just wondering whether you were already on the bike when you became lucid? I couldn’t tell if this counted as a task occurring while lucid or while NDing, so need confirmation as to which it was.

@EarthlyInspired

Congrats on the short lucid and for being the first person to claim [color=darkblue]Reality Check[/color] points this NDC.

Just a reminder to everyone that you can claim points for RCing even if it doesn’t result in you becoming lucid. So remember !

[Obliverum]

last night:one nd and one fragment.

@EarthlyInspired

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…

this is wonderful! i hope youll update us on the bike as you spruce it up.

[moogle (mognet)]

Also 1 day to get dream related art points for week 1. (Susan is on holiday so can upload later)

We are enjoying all the dreams

Yeah, I was already riding the bike when I became lucid. I think riding the bike was what triggered the lucidity because I realized I was doing a task.
