Second task: Mix your senses

Your body is sleeping. In a dream, you aren’t limited to what your body can do. You aren’t limited to what your eyes can see, ears can hear, or body can feel. Have you ever wondered what light tastes like? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see music? What would thoughts smell like?

You can even grow completely new senses. Many animals can sense things that we can’t, for example electricity and infrared radiation.

If you use one of your senses for something it isn’t usually used for, you get 40 points.
If you experience this several times in the same night, you get 10 points pr. experience.

Invent or adopt a completely new sense, and you get 30 points.
If you make a recording or picture of the unusual experience inside the dream, you will get 10 points.

This task will run until 30.april, 8 pm GMT.

:lol: I was “Huh ?” :eh:. But then:

:content:

Siiw, do I get no points for my short LD?

Sorry! Of course you get points for it! You have been added now. :shy:

Had a short moment of lucidness last night, but lost it quickly and not much recall.

I’ve been having absolutely no luck, not a dream nor an unconcious sleep. It’s like i’m skipping to morning!

Will try, this task sounds easier as I continuously develop a sixth sense in dreams

I remember watching a short documentary on people with naturally mixed senses. They’re supposedly pretty darn rare, but they gathered a bunch somehow. Funnily enough, they all had different associations to any one thing. For example, if they thought of color yellow, each would smell something different.

What stuck in my head the most is one particular test. They had this woman (who had several senses entwined, not just 2) in a 20+ minute test. The test itself was bogus, what they were trying to figure out was her recall skills. At the start of the test, they read her a series of short-medium length words and she had to repeat them back. She did completely averagely. At the end of the test, they asked her to repeat those words and she remembered far more than an average person did.
I sincerely hope they did other similar tests and didn’t base their conclusion on this one example they put in the documentary.
The conclusion was that the more senses you experience a thing with, the better it sticks in your memory. It isn’t surprising really, we all remember better to check how hot water is if we get burned first, but it does seem to apply to sense crossovers as well, which is basically a brain anomaly.

So, theoretically, experiencing something (that you can normally sense with 1 sense only) with several senses, should give better dream recall.
I’ve no idea how hard the challenge is, if it’s even worth trying to implement in every LD just for the sake of DR, but it’s something to give a little extra motivation :smile:

I was thinking the same thing when reading the challange. :smile:

A known artist who saw colour while hearing music was Wassily Kandinsky. When I look at some of his work I always get blown away. Also depends on how “open” my mind is while absorbing his paintings but when I’m lucky I kind of fall into his colours and lines, they start to move and I move with it.

It’s not that rare, many people have associations between different things. I associate numbers, words and sometimes sound with colours, on average not that intens but it really depends on how I am feeling. Think about names and imagine the colour it has, a lot of people do that without knowing it. Think about why people sometimes call a heavy voice a dark brown voice… why brown? it feels the right colour doesn’t it? :content:

I had a medium length LD last night. Apparently swimming and making people drown is fun :tongue:

It was weird, because that’s the first LD I’ve had as a DO, yet the character I watched was me and I knew it. Plus, I had a false awakening afterwards with a huge DS and I missed it and lost lucidity there. (I still want to :truit: myself for it.) At least I can say now that I really know what an FA is.

Succes :smile: Last night I had a LD in which I was in long empty room and I remembered the suggestion of seeing music. I visualized that there would be stereo behind me and there was. I turned on the music and dancing lights appeared in all colors that looked a lot like nothern light, but fast forwarded. It looked pretty cool and I was happy I actually completed a task for once. Later the lights changed into laser lights, which was just like a normal laser show so not so special anymore.

In another dreamscape I met a colleage and I showd him how to float. I wanted to test if it was a shared dream so I told him to remember this dream once I say a special word to him the next time I see him. It would be cool if it works, but I’m not a strong believer of shared dreams, but youll never know.

Sounds awesome BeRightBack! Congrats :content: .

Gahhhh, I went lucid for about 5 minutes in a dream and lost it, later on realize I was dreaming at the very end. I forgot about the LC, so I went along and tried to visit WC’s new dreamscape. Then I tried to revisit this forest I discovered in another LD. :tongue: I should start posting in my DJ again…

Okay, the whole system of how this works kinda confuses me but what the heck, I’ll try it.

Interesting task, no LD so far :tongue:

Dablooey, youre a bit late, but its up to Siw if you may join or not.

Well, she said we could join at any point but she hasn’t added me…

New tech is finally starting to kick in.

One short LD and one other dream where I questioned if I was dreaming.

I said you could join up to the end of the first task, Dablooey. I can still add you if you are interested, you will get less points though than the people who are already awarded points from the first task.

Oh okay, I’m sorry; I misinterpreted. No, no don’t add me, I’ll participate next time.

Two medium LD, one short and regained Lucidity twice.

Edit: here is link.

One long and one short (I hate my alarm -.-) LD tonight with no tasks. I did attempt though.
