Lucidity Challenge 51 - Winner: Thorn!

I had a medium LD + short LD, no tasks done.

Became lucid multiple times last night… but only 1 short that counts points wise. I did the week 2 shadow task.

Short LD + Touch Your Shadow

Secret Achievements

I’m adding a new feature into the game to add a little more tension between the players - Secret Achievements. Let me explain how these will work.

Click here for a list of all secret achievements

If you click the link above, you will find a list of all of the achievements you can do. If you so choose, you can select one or more of these achievements to complete. You have 48 hours after an achievement is posted to decide whether or not you are going to attempt it. Just send me a private message telling me which one you are going to attempt, and upon completion, you will receive bonus points at the end of the LC. Seems simple enough, right?

Only there is a catch - You have to complete it in secrecy. Other participants cannot know which achievements you are attempting to complete. The only person who has to know is me, the TM . If by chance, another participants has a hunch that you are going for a certain achievement, they can call you out on it, and receive points/ lose points depending on if they were right or wrong.

Calling people out - Example

Let’s say Participant “A” selects the “complete all the week 1 tasks” achievement. The only people that know he has selected this is Me, and Participant “A” himself… but perhaps Participant “B” looks at the scoreboard and has a hunch that “A” has selected that secret achievement… Participant “B” can send me a private message saying that he would like to Call out Participant “A” on the “complete all the week 1 tasks” achievement.

If Participant B is right - At the end of the LC , Participant A will not receive his bonus, and Participant “B” get’s a +20 bonus

If Participant B is wrong - At the end of the LC , Participant B will lose -20 points, and Participant A will receive a small +5 bonus for being wrongly accused.

If Participant A never get’s called out - At the end of the LC, He gets his bonus.

I would just like to reiterate, that this WHOLE PROCESS happens between closed doors. It has to be in secret- strictly through private messages. There should be no one posting in the forums about secret achievements (unless there is a question that needs to be addressed). This means that you don’t know who is attempting Secret Achievements. And if you’re attempting a Secret Achievement, you don’t know if anyone has “called you out” or not. So therefore, the tables may turn at the end of the LC when the Secret Achievement scores are announced.

Hopefully this wasn’t too confusing! I just wanted to try something new in order to replace what would have been “Teams”. I hope you enjoy this mini LC game.

Good luck to all! Sweet dreams. - Jer

Short LD with a finally decent flight during nap :smile: no tasks

Side note: when I read jer’s writings ,in my head , its always with William Mile’s voice from assassins creed .

I’M all up to this challenge
Was missed the previous one because I needed to switch schools and stuff, really hard days those were, I thought Id die.
I think I can score at that one , I’M a guitar and violin maniac in dreams, awesome stuff, I would like to also conduct zbigniew preisners lacrimosa.
SO here I go…

Long LD, no tasks. I’m late with the entry so the description is short, but it felt like it lasted at least an hour.

Had an LD here this morning which at around 3-5 minutes long makes it a medium one for me. I’d like to claim Week 1 points for examining an object in great detail as I was looking at a plane and could see the individual details on it quite nicely.

In a medium LD last night I jumped onto a tree which felt like it was made from mud, squelchy/liquid. Standing in one place too long had a quicksand effect. Good enough for the Touch Solid/Feel Liquid task? (Yeah probably not what you had in mind, but it felt wet and gloopy.) :shrug:

Medium LD + Touch Solid/Feel Liquid

Long LD, remembered an object in detail (and it got me in trouble).

Current Scores.

All of the scores have been updated. Everyone is doing well, and I hope to see more action in week 2 happening soon :spinning: ! I only have a few people whom I need to address individually…

JamesUK_2008 - Didn’t you already examine an object in greater detail? The bottle of poison? Either way, I marked down the points for your lucid dream!

Obfusc8 - I counted your touch solid, feel liquid task, because trees do not usually feel like that. Also you are in first place, good job!

Alright - So the Achievements have been added to my last post. They can also be viewed here. As previously mentioned you have 48 hours to select which secret achievements you would like to attempt. Please send me your choice in a private message. You don’t have to do any of them , if you so choose. More will be added over time. Not sure how secret achievements work? Please see my previous post.

Missed that. :razz: My bad.

Seeking clarification with the secret achievements… do you have to call people out within the 48 hours as well, or is it at any time?

And if you call someone out and they fail to achieve it, but they were going for that achievement, do you still lose the points?

Thanks :smile:

I had 2 lucid ‘fragments’ (~15s) the past 2 nights (one of which involved flying), which I’m going to count as 1 short LD here.

Current Scores.

nomat - Good job. Scores are updated.

obfusc8 - you have 48 hours to choose an achievement. After the 48 hours, when everyone is locked in to their decision, you can call other people out at anytime throughout the LC! (Unless, you call someone out after they have completed the achievement, of course. You have to call them out while they are going for it.)

In the first dream here, I see something with an irregular color (teeth). In the second dream, I embark on a train of thought that would usually lead to realizing I am dreaming, but the LC explicitly requires that I wonder if I am dreaming for points, so it is worthless.

In this dream, I briefly deal with somebody speaking a different language.

Triple post because nobody else is claiming points and because I’m clearly looking to get banned from the site. In a long LD this morning, posted here, I touched something unbearably hot by putting my hand in a soup.

Aaaaand an LD with no tasks. It seems I’m doomed to have LDs but complete no tasks lucidly. :razz:

Exporting Dream ~ Medium Lucid Dream

Stats so far:

[spoiler]NDs: 4
Short LDs: 3
Medium LDs: 1
Long LDs: 0

Task 1:-E Great Detail | Irregular Color, Extinct Animal | Looked into a mirror and saw myself. | Saw a fictional character.
Task 2: ~ none ~
[/spoiler]

In a non-lucid dream, I met a guy from the future. The science-fiction plot was a little bit unclear, but it was something along the lines of La Jetee or Twelve Monkeys. The guy was also looking to be reunited with a girl called Martha. No, I’ve no idea who Martha is.

Well had an interesting dream last night, finally something that would quality for task points based on a question… Do we get late task points? Last night I had a dream that was some sort of treasure hunt… An artifact of power of some kind. It was almost like a game, but it was a part of life. There were two sides, two teams, and they had to control the artifact, but the only people who could move the artifact were dragons… Anyone else who tried to touch it would be unable to do so.

Well, as for me, I came into contact with the story of the artifact, and became aware of the “game” behind it. I was part of one of the teams (as everyone is, and they do not choose), and the artifact was being swarmed by people of the opposing team. It was high on some structure, and typically unreachable by normal means.

I flew up to the artifact, and picked it up. Somehow this put me on a points board and I became number one controller. There were several dragon players, that I had to evade, and I was called out for “cheating” since I wasn’t a dragon… So my score was being called out as invalid, but the system knows it better, and it was allowing me to collect the points for the artifact. It turns out, that my biological father happened to be a wyvern, so i was half-dragon, and that is why the system allowed me to interact with the artifact…

So, if there are late task points, I could claim the points for seeing a mythical creature, as I saw several dark green and dark blue dragons.

Also, does touching someone you find very attractive count as “touching something hot”? … just thought I’d ask… If so, I got those points too… I won’t go into details though…

All of this was non-lucid, unfortunately…
