Great, we’ve got enough sign-ups!
I’ll start the challenge at the weekend.
(and sorry for the delay in responding)
Nice that we’re finally starting soon. 
Sadly, I’ll be in Florida until next Friday, but I should hopefully have something by the end of my trip. 
I’ll bring a dream journal with me so I can still participate this coming week.
… week 1 will be posted tomorrow (Monday)
Great!
I have done my Lucid Goal two weeks ago, so I would like to change it to:
“Ask my Boss for a raise”.
I will only accept it as done if I really see one of my bosses and get an answer, but I hope I can have some kind of dream negociation
Hi Koal - yes, the change of lucid goal is fine.
Week 1 - Getting the band back together
You are queuing up outside a nightclub. A poster on the wall says “Goth - Industrial - 80’s”. Once inside, you make your way through a packed club to the bar. A Toto tribute band is on stage, playing Africa … “As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti”. Some of the audience are not entirely convinced. “That line doesn’t even fit the music, it’s got too many syllables.” …, “Mount Kilimanjaro is nowhere near the Seregeti” … “You know, I think this song might be kind of racist”.
Susan makes her way towards you through the crowd. She gestures towards the stage. “I think I need to hire a different band for tomorrow night … you guys used to be in a band, didn’t you?”
You look at each other. “Yeah, but … we’ll need to find a new drummer” Susan decides it’s best to to ask what happened. “I can lend you my TR808 drum machine. It’s like a drummer, only it shows up on time to rehearsals. The improvement in efficiency revolutionized music.”
You look at each other. “Ok, we’ll do it.”
Tasks for week 1:
- Appear on stage in front of an audience (doesn’t have to be at a music event, any kind of performance will do) - 10 points
- See the outfit you wear on stage (e.g. by looking down at yourself, or looking in a mirror) - 15 points
- Play a musical instrument (doesn’t have to be on stage) - 10 points
- Sing while dreaming as a male character - 20 points
- Sing while dreaming as a female character - 20 points (NB: It is possible to claim both male and female points if you can transform your gender in the dream),
- See a TR808 drum machine - 20 points
- … and hear it (doesn’t matter if the drum sound isn’t true to real life, as you as you can get it to play something) - +10 points
- See the cover of your band’s album - 10 points
- See at least two other members of the band - 10 points
I’ve got a couple questions. Are the sensory tasks on the first page always active or were those just example tasks?
For seeing an outfit on stage, you have to be on the stage to see the outfit, correct? It can’t just be looking in a mirror or down at yourself to see your outfit?
Tuesday - 1 ND
Wednesday - 1 ND
Today:
Had 1 LD here this morning which at around 3-4 minutes long makes it a medium one for me. I completed my personal goal of shapeshifting in it so would like to claim points for that please. Siiw notably also made her first appearance in any of my LDs today.
I also felt warmth in this as per the sensory tasks.
Had 1 ND yesterday and 1 ND this morning but I don t think I ll write them down.
I also had one really short LD this morning. Super disappointing as I forgot I already did my first personal goal and did it again…
So I will only claim the sensory task, as my dream had colors.
I am sorry if I write to myself more than to other people in my Dream Journal. Today’s dream is referring to dreams I didn’t post online 
1 ND this morning.
Claiming points for:
Hearing Sound
Hearing music (subtask)
Playing a music instrument
I will maybe also post the music I played later but I do not have the instrument here (anyway I am pretty sure that it does sound nothing like the music from my dream IRL
Susan_Y, do you think all participants are aware LC 62 has started? 
Maybe we might inform them??
Well, seeing that others have been posting for the sensory tasks, I figure that I can claim points for that. Anyways, if it’s acceptable, I’ve just been posting all of my normal dreams in my journal and was planning on linking them here once a week, with the exception being if I have a lucid dream in which case I’d post it right away here.
My journal can be found here. I’m pretty sure there’s a way to link directly to specific posts within the thread, but I can’t recall how, so if anyone could tell me that would be great so I could create more specific links.
Since the LD began, I am claiming the following:
April/3rd - 3 NDs. Also completed “Seeing a Color” as, well, all my dreams are in color. The explosion in the first dream in particular had vibrant orange flames with gray smoke mixed in.
April/4th - 2 NDs.
April/5th - 1 ND
April/8th - 1 ND
April/9th - 2 NDs, one of which was Semi-Lucid (thought I was lucid but wasn’t; better description in my DJ). Also, “Felt the texture of something I touched,” namely the fir tree’s top.
I had remembered dreams on the other two nights, but didn’t write them down in time and forgot them 
Edit: Fixed broken link
right click the little square on left of posted (top left of post) choose copy link location (or the version your browser gives)
then paste into desired post.
I’m down ill with a cold at the moment, but I’ll check through the thread and respond to any questions tomorrow. Meanwhile, week two tasks coming up…
Week 2 - Vikings
Outdoors, day. You are in a market in the Viking city of JórvÃk In the ninth century. You pass a stall selling horned helmets. A member of your group whispers to you “I wouldn’t buy one of them. if I were you. The armour class is terrible. Strictly for ceremonial use only”.
Walking further through the market, you come across one of the most implausible of RPG clichés, the magic item vendor. She is speaking in Old Norse “biargrunar … meginrunar …” but switches to English when you arrive. As she speaks you realise she is Susan wearing a Viking outfit. “Runes to carve on your sword hilt … runes to aid childbirth … something for everybody…”
You say, “I’ve played one of these games before. Aren’t you supposed to give us a quest or something?” She fetches a scroll from underneath her table and unrolls it. You have some difficulty in reading the words, as it appears to be in the Runic script. And besides, you have a suspicion that “corp por” was not actually an Old Norse word.
Tasks for week 2:
- See some text in a script that in not the script of your first language - 5 points
[list]
[]The script is Runic, or a reasonable approximation to it. +15 points
[/:m]
[*]See a horned helmet - 10 points
-
And wear it - + 15 points
[/:m]
[]Drink from a drinking horn - 10 points[/:m]
[]See a Viking longship - 10 points[/:m]
[]See one of more dream characters in Viking costume, or a reasonable approximation of it - 10 points (NB: can potentially be combined with the horned helmet task)[/:m]
[]Attend a Viking festival - 15 points[/:m]
[]Cast a spell (hey, we’re not being historically authentic here) - 5 points -
Cast a spell using Runes somehow, e.g. by reading them, painting them on something, dropping paper inscribed with them in a dream character’s mead, etc. - +15 points. I will allow this even if the Runes aren’t in quite the right character set for the Viking era (e.g. I will allow kanji). - +15 points
