Because I am lazy and I like any contest or challenge being organised and easy to navigate, this challenge will be stricter in terms of how the contestants (that is, you) should present their dream journals.
I will not request complete overhauls, but I will appreciate notifications in your journals so I can give scores most efficiently and accurately.
As an example, this is how I formatted my entries in the last ND Challenge:
I changed the scoring system a bit. I reduced the inflation by starting the lowest score from 1, not 5. I like it more that way. The actual value of the scores has not changed.
There are now a few more variables that are eligible for scoring, those are reality checks, lucidity recoveries and the dream journal quality (subjective). The latter will be subjectively scored by me, ranging from 1 to 10 points depending on how easy it was for me to navigate and score from.
Definitely signing up! Maybe that will get me get back on writing (and remembering) my dreams because I kind of stopped since the last challenge was over

My Personal Task may change before the NDC starts depending on whether or not I complete it for the LDC.
I like the rewrite for the main post. Makes it much easier to read and understand the rules. The only thing I’m not too comfortable with is modification to our dream journals. While I understand making the posts we put up in here more informative (like pointing to a current DJ entry with a link) I don’t really feel like it should be the responsibility of the contestants to pepper their entries with flags unless they would like to, themselves.
I do intend to start formatting my NDC update posts like I have been doing for the current LDC as they are much more informative than my old method. You can see it here. I don’t think I will be making much of a change to my DJ entries, though, so I kinda forfeit the well-structured DJ points.
It is just that, I live partly outdoors with no internet some days and I have some things to do that prevent me from incubating dreams properly, but well see
It does’t look like more people are willing to join, so I will close the sign-ups on Sunday, at 21:00 EEST (Eastern European Summer Time). The challenges will begin on next Monday.
