Lucid dream, medium duration (1-2 minutes).

Yay! My first lucid dream in this Lucidity Challenge. I’d like to claim points for having a lucid dream. I think it also counts as the “wander around a town” task. I’ve already done that task in a non-lucid dream, but here I’ve done it again while lucid, which I think gets me a “task while lucid” bonus.

I wasn’t transformed as my character.

Two short LDs but failed to complete any tasks. :meh: Not for lack of trying, but I did mis read/remember a task, which didn’t help. :sigh:

A really brief lucid moment. No more than a minute of just walking.

Had an LD here this morning which at around 2-3 minutes long makes it a short one for me.

Yes, Susan_Y, that gets you the lucid bonus. Congrats on that!

obfusc8, I probably could have made the task include running through a wall, come to think of it. That said, there is a task that you can do by running into a wall: enter a 2D image as it it were 3D. :smile: Personally, I kind of want to reenact Super Mario 64 with that task in my own dreams, perhaps scaling Whomp’s Fortress or testing my usual resizing skills on Tiny-Huge Island. Game references aside, can’t argue with getting two short LDs!

En’enra, yikes, losing lucidity in a dream infested with demons can’t have been pleasant. :sad: Lucidity can make it so easy to make those dreams pleasant—befriend the demon, become a similar demon, politely ask the demon to leave, turn the demon into a kitten—that it’s an absolute shame to see what happened there. Best of luck in the future, and hopefully incubating this week’s cartoon tasks push your mind as far away from demons as possible.

James, it’s about time you got out of last place! Now do even more! I miss the days when I was in your head and we were turning each other into monsters—not because that’s worth points now, but because there are plenty of tasks about doing things to the host or other participants. :tongue:

The scores are updated. Nobody’s done anything for Week 3 yet, so getting the lucid and early bonus there is a great way to pull ahead! That, and those of you with many tasks available to do could really benefit from adding your character into the mix for an extra 5 points each time. That can quickly add up to the worth of another task!

Finally, this week is my time to shine. :content: :content:

Last night I read the challenges for week 3, and the one that really caught my eye was walking on air… So last night I decided to WBTB and FILD/ MILD. I had the following short lucid dream:

[spoiler]
" I was sitting at a desk in an unfamiliar environment. Almost instantly, a single thought entered my mind…“Wasn’t I just sleeping in bed not too long ago?” . It was at this moment that I remembered attempting FILD , MILD and WBTB. I knew with certainty, that I was dreaming. I stood up from the desk I was sitting at. A certain type of anxiety took over me… An anxiety that reminded me that literally anything could happen and that normal physics aren’t applicable anymore… I knew that there was no way to expect what could possibly happen, and that scared me. Just then, without any sort of warning, the entire setting disappeared. I was now floating on a small platform 1000’s of kilometers in the air. The change was so drastic that it shocked me.The platform I was on was starting to disintegrate. I remembered the “lucid challenge” to walk on air. In my mind I knew that everything was going to be okay, and that it was just a dream.So I took a step off the platform. Sure enough, I was right. I was perfectly fine, walking on thin air. I took a couple steps and was proud of my accomplishment. Out of curiosity, I decided to look down, which was a bad idea. Instinct kind of took over and I started to freak out. I stopped believing that I could float, and therefore I started to fall. As I was falling I was scared of dying and slowly started to lose my lucidity. When I hit the ground, I was unharmed;however, I wasn’t lucid anymore. I asked a DC where I was and he said I was in America. I walked down the streets a bit until I ran into a house I sort of recognized. I knocked on the door and saw a familiar face, that I couldn’t put a name to. I asked him where I was. He responded the same was as the other man “You’re in America”. I told him I was from Canada, but I was dumb and thought I could walk on air and fell all the way down to America. He smiled and told me that he could drive me back home in his car.//[/spoiler]

Side note: Two nights ago, I questioned whether I was dreaming and did a reality check but It failed

Im claiming points for:

  • Questioning Lucidity, but not becoming lucid (two night ago)
  • Having a medium LD ( Mine aren’t usually too long… I am trying to improve on that)
  • Doing the “Walk off a precipice and onto air” challenge
  • Early combo???

Thanks :smile:

^ Man, I only gave you two bits of advice for that: don’t look down and keep moving! Yet what do you do? You stop and look down! :tongue: A shame you didn’t create a crater when you landed for another task. :smile:

Congrats on being the first to do anything from Week 3! The scores are updated, and that moved you up a few spots in the rankings!

In a couple of non lucid dreams this morning, I did some stuff! I managed to pull out a gun from hammerspace (like a video game). Then I met an LC participant’s character while I was my own character.

^ Nice, you have points! So, uh… plan to have an LD during this LC? :tongue:

The scores are updated.

So I was supposed to dream of being stepped on by a giant and what do I dream? That I am a giant riding on top of a larger giant.

I would like to claim points for questioning dreaming. I had a dream where I twice wondered if I was dreaming. At both points I checked my hands, but when dream me realised I was dreaming, I ended up being a third party observer and having no control over anything. So I am counting them as FLD moments.

In the second FLD moment I met Bugs Bunny at a bar, and he gave me some advice which helped me transform into my character for a moment before waking. I felt my eyes and ears change, and could see my left hand glove materialise. I tried to focus on what the tattoo on my right bicep was, but it was writing I couldn’t read.

I can’t believe Bugs Bunny was in my dreams. Now if only I could do these Looney Tune like tasks!

Had some dream fragments regarding me being my form… Was unexpected, and i certainly wasn’t lucid, but I was running around like a raccoon getting into things… I went into someone’s house, and was trying to reach some apples on the top of a fridge. I jumped onto the counter, and was about to jump up to the bowl of apples, but someone grabbed me by my tail, and dropped me into a cardboard box…

I don’t think i completed any tasks though…

I visited a carnival in a normal dream last night.

I need to resort to more extreme measures to catch up in this.

This is what I see in the mirror now. :cool_laugh:

I had a lucid moment last night.

Last night i had a medium length LD. I lost and regained lucidity in the dream. I pulled a large hammer out of the hammer space, and whacked my cat with it, while being on a beach. I stored something in the hammerspace to be pulled out in another dream.

Edit - Last week I had a medium length LD. I remodeled the apartment I was in by thinking about how I wanted it look.

Eilatan, becoming a DO does not necessarily mean you didn’t realize you were dreaming; that sounds lucid to me. I’m not going to say I know for a fact that it is because I wasn’t in your dream to say as much, but if you knew that you were dreaming, then I suggest you tell me as much and I’ll change the “wonder if dreaming” points to short LD points.
EDIT: We talked in IRC and decided to count this as a short LD.

Lumessence, you got points for being your chosen character for the first time!

obfusc8, noted.

Siiw, I’m going to imagine you were going to dye your hair anyway. Otherwise, what devotion!

drd, finally posting some task points, I see! So all I have to do is call you out in IRC to make you compete? :smile: Got it! Also, I wouldn’t mind the whack with the hammer; just expect to get crushed in return (for more points, of course). We can be accordion DCs together. :tongue:

The scores are updated.

Non-lucid dream. My first attempt at monthly quest 103. I dreamed that I had overslept at LD4All camp. (Is that even possible? :smile:) The dream wasn’t lucid, so doesn’t count for the quest. No tasks done, either.

Okay, 48 hours is just about up for Team Sun, and I don’t think anybody’s going to suddenly come up with an idea that wows everybody in the last 20 minutes, so let’s declare their new task official!

Dream in an animated style: Most of the times, dreams look fairly realistic. That, or we may dream in a CGI-style if we’ve been playing certain video games or watching certain movies or TV shows. See if you can have a dream where things look like a cartoon! I as a TM will add one requirement to this: you must be a character in the dream and not a DO. Anybody can dream of watching a cartoon, but the idea is to get involved in it! 40 points

Just a short LD here. Very low-level. No tasks…
