I didn’t do too bad last time considering I dropped out after the third challenge. I’ll stick around this time, though, and maybe I’ll host the next. Who knows?

Kitsun313: Never attained lucidity; Summon my DreamClock and make the most of my first lucid experiance.
Wyvern: No lucid points, face the source of my nightmares and resolve them.
No lucid points again.
Hoping these nightmares don’t get TOO personal, as they usually are. I hope you can forgive me for the incoming censorship when posting that/those dream(s).
I, too, await the first task. I know it sounds silly, a dreamer yet to attain lucidity joining a contest based on successful lucid attemps, but I am jazzed about this. I don’t know what it is, but since joining the contest(even though it hasn’t officially started yet) I feel my confidance has grown and dream recall has been more successful. Maybe this will be how I attain lucidity!
Mimmo said that the LC will be starting next week, Wednesday at around 11 GMT. He doesn’t currently have access but will get it started then. He’s sorry for any confusion about the start date.
Many thanks for the update, Rhewin. At least this gives me another week of practice. And it is understandable for lack of internet access. It happens to us all.
The first task will be a creative one, I kept it simple, yet challenging: Make your own musical instrument. The important part here is the “create/make”: don’t simply spawn, find or steal one, but actively create your own!
Decide for it’s characteristics: What material is it made out of? Wood and steel, or maybe plasma and bones? Feel free to use anything you find interesting enough to make an instrument out of. Carve the shape out of a block of your material, get the parts you need and glue them together, you decide. How does it produce sound? Are there strings? Does the whole thing resonate? Or is there an unknown force that fuels it? And most imoprtantly: How do you play it?
Try to make your instrument a unique as possible: you don’t need to re-model an existing instrument, use fantastic forms and mechanics to make a truly dreamlike instrument! For very extraordinary ideas, I’ll award up to +10 creatitvity points.
You should decide on those things before you sleep, otherwise you may lose focus in the dream.
Basic Task(s)
Gathering everything you need to make your instrument and successfully create your own music instrument gives you +35 points.
Instruments that do not make sounds are useless: try it out and get at least one sound out of it, it’ll give you +15 points.
Secondary Task(s)
Playing a whole song, a known one or something your subconcious comes up with, will give you +20 points and please your ears (hopefully ).
Repeatable(s)
Duplicate your instrument and have some DCs play them. Listen to their songs or join them. For each DC that plays your instrument you’ll get +5 points, up to +15 points maximum.
For all you music-makers and picture-painters: If you want to share your creations, don’t hesitate to post the notes of the song or images of the instruments you created.
The deadline will be 31 August, 11 PM GMT. If you finish this task before the deadline in one week, you get +20 early points. This means you can earn a maximum of 115 points in this Task. Good luck and happy composing!
PS: The deadline is individual for everyone: If this is the last active task before you go to bed, the deadline is until you go to bed on the following day.
