Lucidity Challenge 56 - Winner: MearaDelia !

Introduction

Hi! Welcome to the 56th Lucidity Challenge.
I, GenghisKhan, I am pleased to be your host. This is my first time hosting so I might not be a perfect. Just highlight me mismatch or improvement points, I will take your inputs into account.

The Lucidity Challenge (LC for short) is a game that is intended to provide some additional motivation for people who are trying to have lucid dreams. Each week there will be new challenge tasks posted in this forum thread, and you score points for having a dream (lucid or non-lucid) in which you do one or more challenge tasks. Lucid dreams score more points: the details of the scoring system are described later in this post.

At the end, the person with the highest score is given the option of hosting the next challenge; if they don’t want to do it, the option to host passes on the second place scorer, and so on. Apart from that, there are no prizes; the goal is to have fun, both doing the challenge tasks and by having other lucid dreams using the skills you’ve learned from attempting the challenges.

If you feel uncomfortable about any of the tasks (e.g. you find it frightening, or embarrassing), feel free to skip it. There’s no pressure to do all the tasks, and no prizes apart from the getting to write the next one.

Participants in the LC usually post a description of their dreams in the Dream Journal forum, and post in this thread a short post describing which task they think they’ve completed, hyperlinking to the full description of the dream in their dream journal. If you don’t want to post all your dreams, feel free to leave some of them out. It’s also OK to leave out parts of dreams, and just post the bit where you did the task, leaving out the more embarrassing elements.

Scoring

Lucid Dreams and Induction Methods

You wonder if you are dreaming but do not become lucid - 5 points
Recognizing you are dreaming / A “short” lucid dream - 20 points
A “medium” length lucid dream - 30 points
A “long” lucid dream - 40 points
Your longest ever lucid dream - 50 points
Your first ever lucid dream - 75 points
Early bonus - Completing a task within the same week it is posted (once per week max)
Combo - Completing more of a week’s tasks in the same dream or tasks from two different weeks - 20 points (once per week max)
Completing the LD4all Monthly Quest while lucid - 75 points
Personal goal while lucid - 100 points
Personal goal in a non-lucid dream - 20 points
Completing a task while in a normal dream - half task points

Dream lengths are subjective estimates (you can’t measure how long the dream really was, at least not without using an EEG machine or similar) and “short” is relative to how long your lucid dreams usually last. If you haven’t had a lucid dream before, use short <= 1 minute < medium <= 5 minutes < long.

If you achieve your personal goal twice, lucid and non-lucid, you only get the 100 points for the lucid.

I have never transformed into anything non-human. I am aiming to become a fox, or even a kitsune maybe. But at this stage I would be rapped with any animal.

Good ! Already 3 sign-ups !

Come on, dreamers, do not be shy :happy:

  1. 9spaceking - Visit futuristic train station
  2. Koal44 - Having a Concert and be part of the band
  3. DTDownUnder - Transform into an animal
  4. Arial - Have a temple meeting with Higher Self, Soul, and recently passed away lover to ask questions and receive guidance

Genghis, thanks for organizing this. I’m really excited. I have had some 20 lucid dreams throughout my life, and they seem pretty rare lately although I started trying hard again. I hope this will help me.:smile:

By the way, I think it’s super funny how your user name is Genghis Kahn and guess who wins the game… :razz:

YAY! Another Participant!
Welcome Arial!
That sounds like a very enlightening personal goal.
Good luck with achieving it.

Hello Arial and welcome to the LC !

Sorry to hear that, wish you a good LD can help you in lightening the burden…

Also, please be aware I have updated scoring system

  1. 9spaceking - Visit futuristic train station
  2. Koal44 - Having a Concert and be part of the band
  3. DTDownUnder - Transform into an animal
  4. Arial - Have a temple meeting with Higher Self, Soul, and recently passed away lover to ask questions and receive guidance
  5. James_UK2008 - Transform into another form

Luciditys been somewhat patchy as of late so I’m hopeful to get back into the motivation of getting reasonably frequent LDs :smile:

  1. 9spaceking - Visit futuristic train station
  2. Koal44 - Having a Concert and be part of the band
  3. DTDownUnder - Transform into an animal
  4. Arial - Have a temple meeting with Higher Self, Soul, and recently passed away lover to ask questions and receive guidance
  5. James_UK2008 - Transform into another form
  6. Obfusc8 - Fly a spaceship, in space!

EDIT: Also, my usual difficulty setting of no lucid points unless there is a new task completion in that dream, and all tasks must be completed while lucid.

Over half way!
Come on people just 4 more.
It’ll be fun!

  1. 9spaceking - Visit futuristic train station
  2. Koal44 - Having a Concert and be part of the band
  3. DTDownUnder - Transform into an animal
  4. Arial - Have a temple meeting with Higher Self, Soul, and recently passed away lover to ask questions and receive guidance
  5. James_UK2008 - Transform into another form
  6. Obfusc8 - Fly a spaceship, in space!
  7. Letaali - Get to the Frozen Planet.

I guess I’ll join. Unsure if I’ll be able to wbtb or anything due to my early mornings. I’ll try.

The frozen planet is a specific planet from a dream I had years ago, not related to the animated movie.

Great ! Already 7 sign-ups ! :happy:

Been having luck with aware, detailed and semi-lucid dreams lately. Never joined a challenge in time but this should be fun. :happy:

The running man has made a couple of appearances over the last year and they’ve either escaped or gotten ahem squashed before I could figure out what they were all about.

Thanks for joining SpaceRace
