LD4all Quest 42: Life, the Universe, and Everything

Next time I’m lucid I’ll definitely put this on the top of my to-do list. :happy:

Good thing I have all month since I’ve really slacked with RCs and recalling recently. Ah well. Sounds like it should provide some pretty insightful (or comedic) results.

I’m in. This should be interesting. :content:

I think I will ask what area of my job to specialise in.

I wonder whether I’ll get a good answer or a completely bogus one like another dream invite to “join the fairy dancers- a once and only offer!” :tongue:

Hi I am new but I will give this a go. My question will be “why are we capable of feeling extreme pain?”. I don’t know if I will do very well, I LD every time I dream but have never premeditated an idea or action from the real world to enact in a dream before.

Plan is to simply ask it to the dream itself, I imagine that if I do get an answer it will be quite bizarre rather than profound :smile:

edit: So I gave it a go, as expected I didnt remember to ask while I was asleep. As soon as I woke up I went back to sleep to try again. This time I remembered and asked my question. Basically the result was pretty weird. The dream changed to a series of events like being unable to answer the door when somebody knocked. They went by pretty quickly in the dream and I understood I was seeing missed opportunities. After these finished I was left with the answer ‘it’s a deep pattern’.

Anyway doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but I gave it a shot, just glad I was able to remember as much as I did.

INDESCRIBABLE JOY. HGttG IS LOVE AND CAKE

I’m breaking out of my LD rut by nailing this one.

I need a question though…I’d love to ask “If 42 is the answer, what is the question?” and try to utilize my mind-connection with our great big planet-computer and harness it’s epic processing power XP

If that one fails I’ll settle with something personal. Something that my SC can actually deal with. What have I been having trouble with lately?

ooh, OOH! Got a good one!

“I already know I get strong motivation from having other people rely on me, but how can I better motivate myself when there’s nobody else around to lean on?”

I’m giving it a try! I’m going to ask a DC if he is a real person. I assume he will tell me yes but I’m really curious.

Congratulations Spoticus! even if you had a strange reply, you nailed the Quest :smile:

Everyone, good luck, I think I’m going to try this one too, seeing how you all have these inspiring Questions! Have to think of a good Question though… :hmmm:

lidybug: be sure to post your answer in the “Testing the Realness of DC’s” experiment in the lab :grin:

Will Do!
Where do I find the “Testing the Realness of DC’s” experiment?

How cool would it be if they asked you if you were real before you got the chance to ask them!

I wonder if that would just prove that I was really the DC asking myself the question?

Once I actually HAVE a LD, I will ask them this. Why is death naturally excepted as the end? Why do people mourn the passing of people? I, for one, would want people to celebrate how good of a life I had, and wish me luck wherever I may be taken to next :beer:

:beer: Cheers! Well said. I don’t believe that death is the end, it is sad because you miss that person in your life. I think people think of it as the end because they are scared of what they don’t know. For some people belief is not enough. I don’t believe in endings because nothing ever ends! :wink:

Figured i’d post here, you’l have to forgive me if i’m in the wrong place, i’m still learning. heh ^^;

I probably wont do to well on this, but I want to give it a go. the only way to improve is to practice, right?

Moogle pointed me here, after my first LD was oddly related to this thread. my intentions were to speak to god and ask ‘why are we here’… but like I said, i’m new to this so i didn’t have very much control. I met God. he/she was a giant pastel coloured cat (I blame uni for this, i studied a similar photo in photography recently) i onyl remmeber as far as- ‘someones here to see you, God’, ‘tell them i’m not here’, ‘er… its Tegan’, ‘Oh! send her in then!’ i know we had a nice little chat, but i don’t remember any of it >.<

anyway, no joy that time, but i’m going to remember for next time to ask again, hoping my first LD wasn’t a total fluke! haha. good luck to everyone, i look forward to reading about your asnwers!

ps- sorry, i talk too much >.<

wow i’m deffinately trying this one ASAP!!! :woo: i’m going to ask “why are we here?” :content:

hopefuly i’ll meet my spirit guide for the first time! :happy: :happy: :happy:

:hurray: I DID IT!!! I was beginning to get a little frustrated because I haven’t had a LD since April 11th. :touched: I will post this dream in my DJ later today. When I realized I was having a LD I remembered I had to complete my quest and ask a DC my question and get an answer. :boogie: I walked into the living room and sat at the kitchen table with 2 DC’s they looked just like my friends in real life. I asked the one DC (sara) if she was real. She looked like she was pondering and said yes I’m real I’m like a combs. I said what is a comb, as I was looking for pen and paper to write it down then realized I couldn’t take it with me. She tried to explain but I didn’t understand. It was more of a feeling that she was real but not like I think she is real. I think also since she looked like my friend it was hard for me to understand. :eh:
I looked up the word comb in the dictionary and one definition is • a row of brass points for collecting the electricity in an electrostatic generator. :neutral:

Hahaha this is funny cuz a week ago I had a LD and asked a DC the meaning of life, and she said: Life is a catalyst. So I did the quest too but I don’t understand anything of it lolz, erm, why I laugh… catalysts are used in eletricity… :tongue:

Edit: A comb is also a thingie for the hair. :grin:

:lol: not lucid but I had to share it :tongue:

full original post

Inhibited Hamlet

I am in a small village. It only contains a few houses. No-one will tell me anything. :silent: Then when someone does answer my question … he is immediately punched by the leader of the village. The leader usually remains in the spaceship above the village.

an item used to untangle hair was another definition but i did’nt think that was what she was talking about. :tongue:

I almost completed it.
It was a very short(it lasted 30 minutes IRL, a minute or even less in dream time) and weird dream.

When the dream started, I realized I was dreaming right away.It was in windows media player frame(lol), so I double-clicked to switch to full screen.First I ran over the wall and the roof to convince myself I was dreaming.There was a monster.I was losing lucidity rapidly, so started slapping the monster(the hand-rubbing technique is good cause it makes you TOUCH in your dream).This was the same cause I was touching the monster.Every time i started slapping him, I felt more lucid, but the dream was just fading away.At the end I remembered the quest.But it was weird, cause normally in your dreams you don’t think as you would IRL, but I did.I was like:’‘What was the quest, ehh?Oh, yeah, ask DC a question’’
I was going to ask him ‘‘What comes after death?’’ but I woke up.

this sounds fun. im definitely gonna try to do this one.
