LD4all Quest 50: The Spirit of Giving IV

This sounds fun. I’m going to try it. Yay for my first lucid quest! :twirl:

I am also going to try it! My partner will be Tosxychor :content:

and good luck girls :grin: and everyone else

I’ll do my best to find a suitable gift for mattias ^^

Good luck ladies! And everyone, have fun :content:

i’ll try it too, anyone want to team up with me?

Sounds great! Anyone want to buddy?

hmm… wht can we do about that… maybe two teams with 2 persons each? not a bad idea, eh?

Arabinator and I are teaming up.

I found a buddy IRL :smile:

Holy cow I was supposed to post my attempts here! :tongue:
I remembered in a LD to do the quest, although I promptly forgot seconds after :shy:

[spoiler]
December the 4th
Swimming is fine too - 6:30 - 7:15 AM left-side
Dream about dreams, as my best kind are. :content: I’m at my parents’, it’s early morning, and people are hastedly going by their business in the house. My bro is on the phone with me, making a scholl project about my LD’s, and is asking right now if I lost lucidity because of love torwards the family again. I say, not last time (I don’t really know what I was talking about :lol:), and he gets to erase some lines and write it again for this. My ma says last, my shirt is fine, even if I slept with it :dingy:, and leaves. In the middle time, I was fantasizing (about candyland :confused:), colouring with my pencil over a supermarket ad, rewriting some letters to make it read something dream-related; funnily enough, it already reads “dream” towards the end, and on the back there’s written something like “just visualize where you wanna be next time you go to bed, and you’ll be there in an instant!”. I’m really happy about that, but it feels slightly weird. Nose RC. Fails. Eyes close.
Ohwell, it’s time to experiment.
I still feel the room around me, imagine the table, the chair, and think “When I open my eyes, I’ll still be in the kitchen”. Eyes open. I’m still there! Success! :hurray: I’m terribly joyful, and remember the quest. “Mattias!” I call out, no dice. I make for the exit, it all feels so real, but there’s no real chance I’m to lose lucidity, I’m trained for this. I go downstairs
(I guess some explaining is due, flying makes me lose touch sensations, and I risk losing the dream when I’m distracted) , exit, and it’s quite dark. Why not adjust the brightness, then? I Imagine turning a knob that controls it, and I get the direction wrong, then right, but it gets brighter only by a tiny amount, and is dependent on the hand’s position, so it resets if I try turning it some more. Whatever, the dream can go on. My vision is a little blurry too, but I’m sure it will pass. Slowly, I walk towards the house gate, see two anime-sque girl students go by, in their uniforms. I go the other way, try running vary fast, but I end up floating. (It’s always like this, I really think it would be easier, every time :tongue:.) So I airswim instead. O., who lives near there, calls me form behind to ask if I’ve seen “Calimero” exiting from the house in front; I don’t really know who he’s talking about, and say no; we then start a conversation, even though I’m swimming in the air, but neither one makes a fuss out of it. We discuss about a recent sexy disco they opened there (I don’t know anything, he’s doing all the talking), I see some lighted ads about it in some distance. I’m studying his reactions to me flying side by side to him, but it seems it’s normal as breathing to him. The conversation goes on for a while, abrupt end, it’s all dark. I then (decide to?) wake up. [/spoiler]

Is still remember last year when Zukoca (Lazyastronomer) refused my gift xD

I had to walk across lego pieces… :cry:

He’s totally ungrateful :tongue:

Ah, I didn’t do it with anyone in real life ): But I did it all the same. It was like, I found a little boy and did the thing No Face in ‘Spirited Away’ did- You know, stuck my hands out and candy welled out of them. I didn’t eat him though.

Remembered the quest yesterday, no success though. :razz:
I think I really have a chance to complete my first LD4all Quest. ^^

I’m in! :happy: Me and Namine are partners.

Definitely going to try this. Hopefully tonight :smile:

Change of plans, my partner baled out :cry: Anyone want to partner up??

Ha! Managed just in time :wink:

[spoiler]After defeating a big boss in a large arena, I’m given a little book, “Creation of Kingdoms”, as prize. On the frontpage, in a hilly grass field, with a castle in the background, there is a very bulky king, dressed in armor suit, in a posing stance with his sword. He is dressed pompously (I even saw some purple in there), so his shoulders come out as really big (he’s partly concealed by the red title anyway). I think this would make a great gift for mattias even if I already thought of one before that :tongue:. A companion of mine, a boy dressed like Jean from the “Nadia” anime, but in beige, goes by the exit door, and I follow him. We have to cross several doors on the same wall (so we end up repeatedly back in the giant arena room), and I am amazed as they close by themselves after our passage. I decide to have a little fun, and lay on the ground in front of an open one, and make my feet cross the entrance. As a result, the door closes, I use the push to gain speed and propel me to the other end of the room! After that, I have more fun closing the remaining ones by will. I get back to my companion, he’s looking at a map hanged by the room, which has a 1900 feeling to it, with very old yet cared after furniture. I try to speak to my SC again (he did help me before interpreting a dream I had in the previous phase) and I fall in a similar trance state, yet I get no answer, and I realize the SC is all around me. I look at the book again, and think of the quest, think of waking up, but that’s not happening on my watch for sure, not before I finish this. I rush for the stairs going down, see a door at the end of the single ramp, think “mattiasmattiasmattias…”, and hope it’s not locked, Jean opens it as it has a simple locking system, and I enter the room. More modern and large room, many black folding chairs are arranged in lines, like at a videogame tourney, and many people I know are watching something behind me, maybe a match. In the middle corridor stands a person I don’t recognize immediately, it seems like he’s just arrived, still wearing his beige jacket and black bonnet. “Mattias?”
“Yes.”
I am very exited, so it is a quick exchange. we go out of the corridor, he removes his bonnet, has short, messy light brown hair and is very tall, plus has a friendly face. I hand him the book, he smiles wildly. Dream fades,
I wake up.[/spoiler]

I’ll post a more complete report in my DJ soon :wink: plus I hope mattias will manage to do the same tonight or tomorrow. Good luck mattias! And of course everyone else :tongue: There’s still time!

OMG! That was so awesome! (as I’ve already expressed in MSN :tongue: ) Congrats!

Oh man, I have one more day!! Why? WHY!? it’s like the whole test thing, I leave it to study on the last night! :cry: (ok, I don’t really do that with tests, only LD’ing quests aparently… :sad: )

Ahh I daydreamed this quest so much~
I even remembered it when I LDed,
I just need to get it done, TONIGHT!

EDITED -
Damn :sad:

I did it!! :woo: (kind of lame though :lol: ) I was so “emotionaly” dedicated last night I had a great night!

I’m in my room, almost lucid. I decide to lok for some friends. I go to the living room where two guys are on the couch. I ask them where my friends are and they say they’re out on the street. In the front yard I get fully lucid. “This is a lucid dream!” I say. and remember the quest. There’s a strong feeling to simply ignore it and do whatever else :tongue: but I’m able to fight it! and run back in to look for the gift while yelling “'Chor! Where are you?” since I feared I’d have trouble finding him. In the living room I look around until I see the little white/silver package with the red bow. I get it and ask the two guys where Tosxychor is. They say he’s outside too. I run to the gate (I’m impressed my sense of urgency didn’t wake me up!) Outside I see three guys. My vision sucks! I ask which one is Tosxychor and one guy raises his hand. From the little I can see out of the blurry figure he doesn’t look at all like him! :eh: But anyway, I give him the gift and he opens it. It’s not what I’d planned! It’s a … matchbox :eh: He reads from a piece of paper that came with it “Seeds”. Inside the box are lots of tiny seeds! Since my job is done and, even though the gift was different and he didn’t really look like 'Chor, I feel pretty happy to have succeeded on the last day! :tongue: I wake up. Now I guess the only way that gift can be cool is if they’re magic seeds! :grin:

Congratulation mattias! And oh, seeds? I love it :content: Seeds are so symbolical, I’m sure they’ll be of great use in my dreams :mrgreen:

/me ponders wildly about what kind of garden would sprout by planting mattias’ seeds… :hmmm: A DreamWorld like Writerscube’s… :plotting: His secret hideout covered in plants… :ebil: ebil plants of ebil schemes!
