Lucidity Challenge 37: Winner - Scipio Xaos! Congrats!

I had an ND today with a new flight method – I had a small, personal plane due to the dream being based on a racing game I played recently. The race course in the dream and in that game was itself based on a game with lots of willpower flight, and I found myself performing willpower flight as well.

Short LD with bad recall.
[community.ld4all.com/t/the-tales-of-the-purple/38847/6)

I had a short-medium length LD this afternoon. (3-4min) I flew with Angel wings, something I haven’t done before , it was awesome :content: .

[spoiler]After much sleep without any LDs I decided to try WILD. I laid still and my body began to feel heavy and compressed. I was planning to roll out once I felt it was right to, but then I felt my dream self turn over…it was honestly the strangest thing I’ve yet to feel.

I get up from my bed and realized I was naked…I performed my hand RC like usual and was not so concerned about my appearance. I was really trying to get up into the air as quick as possible, as well as meet up with the others. I quickly rush to my window and try to push myself through, but it was solid -_- … annoyed I rip through the screen and performed one last hand RC just in case.

I jumped into the air and sprouted out my awesome Angel wings, huge white fluffy wings with bits of silver. Oddly, it was raining outside. Being naked…it was cold but it helped keep my lucidity up, I wrapped the lower half of my wings around myself to keep warm. With the top wings I soared gracefully around my neighborhood, really surprised at how fast I was. I called out to the group I was to meet, I called out to argon and Thorn but no reply.

I performed a few more RCs and noted that giant mushrooms were chasing me on the streets… They were disrupting my focus so I tried to fly somewhere they couldn’t get too. I was going to fly over a giant ocean but they set up explosions at the edge of the ocean. In the air, I see a flock of birds higher up. I decided to ascend higher to avoid the explosions. I get closer to the flock and noticed giant Eagles (could’ve been argon :razz:). Suddenly, all of them retracted their wings and dropped completely straight down to Earth. It looked very epic, nearly hitting Earth they spreaded out their wings and flew off. I was amazed and wanted in xD. I held back my wings, face directing the ground and it was seriously awesomee! I was like a bullet. I was nearing the ground but couldn’t open my wings for some reason. I knew I’d hit the ground but it wouldn’t hurt. I woke up before hitting. xD[/spoiler]

Also, had a strange dream about you being a girl… xD

Task 2 – Magic

Alright, welcome to the second task of LC 37. This task is going to be all about magic. I am a big fan of Harry Potter, so that shall serve as the inspiration for these tasks. For the first task, you need only obtain a wand and cast a spell (the spell doesn’t have to be from the Harry Potter universe). For the second task, you need to cast the expecto patronum spell (for those not familiar with Harry Potter, here is a youtube video of the spell. Go to the 6:25 point on the video to see it). For every additional unique spell that you cast, you will also get points. Below is the points breakdown of each task. Every time you accomplish the third task, you automatically gain points for the fourth task as well, but not vise versa. Additionally, the first and second task may be accomplished together, if when you obtain a wand, the spell you cast is expecto patronum.

1. Obtain a wand and cast a spell - +50 pts
2. Cast the expecto patronum spell (You must include the form your patronus took, if any, in order to finish this task; If you don’t post what form it took, then you only gain +15 pts instead of +30pts) - +30 pts
3. Cast a spell that is from Harry Potter - +5 pts per tick
4. Each different spell that you cast - +5 pts per tick

This week’s creativity points will be different. The people with the most creative spells will get creative points. For the person with the most creative spell, they will gain +20 pts. The person in second will gain +15 pts, and the person in third will gain +10 pts. For anyone else that I feel has a creative spell, they will gain +5 pts for creativity. Here is the breakdown:

First Place Creativity: +20 pts
Second Place Creativity: +15 pts
Third Place Creativity: +10 pts
Anyone else Creativity: + 5pts

The scores for the first week will be posted too, along with who won the creativity points for the first task, in a couple days. I’m impressed with the amount and quality of dreams so far, so keep up the good work. :cool:

Wait…

During the week I’ve flown on an airplane. Does that count for the task n=1 ? Hope yes…

Alright, the points have been calculated so far. The current scores are at the end of the post. I had a hard time deciding who got the [color=green]+5 pts[/color] creativity bonus. Scipio Xaos, those wings sounded awesome, but in the end I decided that Siiw had the most creative method. Congratulations Siiw! If I made any errors, please make sure to contact me.

Hi Cyclonic,
That will count for task 1 if you’ve never flown that way before. Otherwise, it will count as task 3. Your score below does not reflect this, but once you let me know which task it counts for, I will make sure to add it to your point count. Also, were you lucid when you flew?

Me? If it was me, what did I look like? :hmmm:

is it too late to sign up?

It’s not too late. Just provide your average LD time and your personal task, and you will be part of this LC.

For anyone else wondering, you can still join the LC until we hit 20 people.

I hope I am not too late to sign up…
15.GigaByte, 2 minutes, see the future and save the present

I had a lucid moment last night, no magic and no flight.

Oh. Wait. Are there any points awarded for False Lucids? I had one of those a few days ago. :razz:

A Disappointing False Lucid

Welcome GigaByte to the LC. We still have room for 5 more people.

I don’t consider FLD to be part of the point system. However, they do seem similar to wondering if you’re dreaming, seeing as though it seems that you are “aware” on some level that you’re in a dream. I am willing to alter the point system to include [color=green]+5 pts[/color] for each FLD; however, I will leave it up to you guys as to whether you would like this added to LC 37. Post here or PM me your vote as to whether FLD should be included. If no one votes, then it won’t be added, and if there is a tie, then I will make the decision myself. The deadline for voting is when I post the third task on Sunday night. PM me if you have any questions about this.

squoak i think my average time is like 5-10 minutes but i’m not sure, and my goal is change where I am via spinning around and being there

Hi squoak, you’ve been added. We still have room for 4 more people if anyone wants to join.

As I have gotten some PM votes from people not in the LC, I thought it best to also announce that the voting is only open to those in LC 37, as they are the ones affected by the change. If you want to add it to future LC, then win the challenge so you can be the TM. Thanks for the interest though to those who wanted to vote. :smile:

Well I’ll just vote in here. Seems simplest. :razz: I wouldn’t mind FLDs counting for five points. It does have some relevance to lucid dreams and almost having them.

HeadInTheClouds:

Well actualy I’ve done the task in reality. And in reality I’ve already flown on an airplane, so it counts for task 3… So I wasn’t lucid, I wasn’t even dreaming actually… I wonder if it would count thought…

Hi Cyclonic,
The task must be accomplished in a dream, whether lucid or not, in order to count for points. Things done IRL don’t count. My understanding is that you have not flown in your dreams during the LC, so you have yet to score any points. If I am misunderstanding something, then please PM me so we can clear it up.

I randomly saw a glimpse of you in sort of like a window, like the forum avatar. You had long dirty blonde hair. Either you had green or blue eyes, can’t recall now. But you were just smiling and slighly wobbling around. Your username was right below the window. :tongue:

Thanks to someone, Thorn I was reminded that task related NDs can be qualified for points. :razz:

I had a dream in which I drank some sort of fluid that transformed me into a raven. DCs tried to kill me but I managed to escape by busting through a ceiling and flying off.

[spoiler]A more detailed version. In the dream I found a neat ol’ looking glass bottle filled with a clear liquid. I drank some and suddenly the remaining liquid in the bottle turned into a golden honey like colour which glowed brightly. Not long after my body lifts off the ground and glows golden/transparent-y with twinkles of light dancing around. It took a bit, but my body transformed into the body of a large raven, this happens with a bunch of awestruck DCs standing around.

Once my transformation was complete, the DCs took out their guns and shot at me. In confusion and fear I hopped around and managed to walk on the ceilings backwards avoiding the bullets. Eventually I broke through the garage and flew freely with my wings, and occasionlly perching on houses. :razz:[/spoiler]

Does ski jumping count as flying?
