LC #41 - Congratulations Thorn!

[color=#01A9DB]#Lumessence

Well that was fast…
Unfortunately it was all an ND, but me and someone else ended up “adopting” (actually there was a reason we had to consider someone our child, and had to get married in the process. I don’t quite remember the reason why, but it wasn’t out of choice.)

Another ride. I was inside a game, and had to ride a giant blue frog across a type of platformer game within a certain amount of time. I had become a smaller golden version of it to ride on it’s back. (i know, doesn’t count for competition points, and i’m not sure how much that qualifies for p.3)

WIth some discussion with Wyvern, I’m rejoining the LC :smile: [/color]

Thanks Scipio, you’re useless :tongue:

I had a medium-length LD, posted here, in which I give something to ian1 for Task 3 points. As far as I know, I did not earn the “give” points already because I did not use physical things; if I had earned them, then this is at least good for the lucid points. I also rode a raft in the ND portion of the dream before becoming lucid, netting points for a new ride and for comboing the “give” task.

EDIT: I was told I already earned the basic give and early/combo points, but the lucid points are new.

I’m not sure if I already claimed points, but I was driving a car last night and being chased by some mysterious bad guys in a ND. It was a crazy dream and I ended up crashing my car into a whole bunch of other cars on purpose.

Also, I had a short LD, lost lucidity, then regained it later in the dream and this part was a medium LD. Together, they were a long LD. Thus, to sum up, a short LD chained to a medium LD that totaled a long LD.

I joined a strange competition in the second dream posted here. While I don’t mention specific people in my DJ entry, I assure you that more than two people were involved as the task part requires.

I’ve edited the 3rd subtask so that it does not also count for task 4 taking points. Just felt I needed to clarify that.

:lol: Perhaps it’s your subconscious administering karmic punishment for wanting to vote me out of WG so long ago? :tongue:

One medium LD with nothing task related.

Recall felt like failing.

And that’s not good.

I had two short LDs last night, which both accomplished tasks.

The First LD. I have a couple questions about this one. First, does a fight count as a competition, because if so I met the requirements in this dream? Also, does the honeymoon count as a ride? :tongue:

[spoiler]I was in an office building, and four people started going around and killing everyone. I kept switching perspective to the people being killed, ending in the final person hiding in a bathroom and being stabbed to death. Right as the knife was about to strike the body I was in (I knew that it wasn’t me being killed, but I somehow was seeing things from the person’s perspective at the same time) I realized that I was some kind of superpowered person who could do what I was doing. I found myself in my body in some alley and started to hunt down the four who had killed all of the people. I found the first one and started beating him up, eventually finding the second one as well as beating both up at the same time. I even apparently had telekinetic powers as I was throwing them around with just the flick of my wrist and watching them repeatedly crash into the walls. I somehow found myself in a supermarket kind of place, and the other two killers showed up. They started to fight me, trying to save the two friends of theirs that I was beating up. The guy and girl that were fighting me moved back and forth, in sync with each other, also flicking their wrists in a certain way. This would cause a burst of telekinetic energy to come at me from one side or another, depending on which way they flicked their wrists. I started to do the same to them as well. The bursts of energy weren’t very strong, and were just enough to knock us off our feet and into the air, moving us slightly to the right or left depending on the direction of the energy burst.

Eventually, I saw a pink beachball sitting on a shelf and decided to grab it, going behind an aisle so that they couldn’t see me. I was going to throw the ball at them to catch them off guard. I came back around the corner, and the two guys I was beating up were near me, while the other two were across the way, where they had been the whole time.They laughed at me coming around the corner with a beachball. I looked down and saw the beachball, and noticed it was now blue. That caused me to realize that this was a lot like a dream. I then said to the DCs, “you guys aren’t really evil at all. You’re just characters.” They stopped being evil and all of them were really nice all of a sudden. Now that I realized I was dreaming, I went up to the girl who I had been fighting previously and started to kiss her. She looked a lot like the person who plays April on the Parks & Recreation TV show, although not exactly alike. I also noticed two women behind her that were making our with each other randomly (I think it comes from a previous incubation I had earlier in the LC to rake up a lot of points in a single dream, but that I never actually did). Then I remembered the task, so I decided we minus well get married, so that’s what we did. It was just us saying vows to each other, but I think that counts. We enjoyed the honeymoon for a few seconds before the dream ended :sad: .[/spoiler]

The Second LD

SPOILER - Click to view

I was in my bedroom, and I decided to stand on my carpet and ride it like a magic carpet. It flew me up into the air and I balanced on it, then moved slightly forward with it before dismounting. I then tried to complete another task by combining some of a DC’s characteristics with mine. I touched a woman who was sitting in a corner for some reason (odd because I never have DCs in my bedroom at the beginning of a LD) and tried to change my hair to hers. It didn’t work, so I decided on growing longer nails. When I let go of her, my nails grew, then I realized she had painted nails so mine became blue. When I looked back at her, I realized she had neither of these things, so I willed them upon her and she had the same nails. I don’t know if this counts or not for the task, as I was touching her at some point, but not all the way through.

The second of these two dreams has both a mine cart ride (Task 1) and me inadvertently taking something from a DC (Task 4 points and combo points). The lucid part (medium-length LD) doesn’t complete tasks, but I wish I could earn Task 4 lucid points for taking an entire DC instead of taking something from the DC. :tongue:

Double post for two short LDs this morning, posted here.

[color=#01A9DB]#Lumessence

Ok… I have question about 3. When I read it, i imagine “melding” with a Dc, through touch or something, and taking on their form. But does that have to be it? I"m not sure if this counts or not, but I had a short LD that I took on my DG’s form (does that count as a DC?). Phoenix. It was around some underwater temple, in a type of squre pool. Instead of flying, I was flying (i guess you could say swimming, but it was actually flying) through under the water, exploring it.

There was also a smidgen of an LD later that I had something to do with D17… I don’t recall any of the details really other than I had asked about it, and I guess lost my Lucidity. The resulting affect of the conversation yielded me some kind of power to summon a massive pillar of green/yellow energy down from the sky that vaporized whatever targets it hit. I used it to eliminate some strange creatures that were climbing out of a lake.

This is the second time I’ve had an ld fragment that I’ve lost due to asking about D17. :bored: No completion yet.[/color]

I had a medium LD last night where I completed a task. I touched a DC, and while looking in a mirror this time, caused my hair to become like their hair, which was brown with lots of blond streaks as well. I came close to my personal goal, but only got two people, one of whom I could only feel their presence but not see them.

In the same dream as my LD, but before I became lucid, I rode a mattress. There is a lot more to the story, but there was a guy dressed up as a mattress (like a mattress store mascot thing) and we were boxing. I hit him and was sent flying back against a wall with him becoming an actual mattress all of a sudden and was pinned by the mattress. I was above the ground though, so I held on to the mattress and levitated for a few seconds, but then the mattress fell. I was able to levitate myself right before hitting the ground, and upon doing this and seeing my reflection in the mirror, I became lucid.

In a ND, I was in some videogame and I won against my opponent, so he nuked me, and I went flying from the explosion, having to grab onto something that was attached to the roof of a dome I was in. Thus, I rode a nuclear explosion and survived :cool: . After that, there was a big issue with hitting the save button, because if I didn’t, then I would fall to my death and not be able to recover. I ended up hitting it (the way it was positioned, it was a real challenge) and then let go of the thing and fell into a chasm (not sure how to describe) shirtless, and my goal was to put my shirt on before I died. I only partially succeeded before I almost hit the ground. I think the dream ended there, but I don’t remember.

I had a fragment (posted here) in which I had a Pokémon battle, which would fall under the “Anarchy” part of Task 2. I’d had many dreams since the start of that task that I suspect had battles, but this was the first time I recalled seeing a Pokémon belong to me and use a move without me telling it to do so.

A short LD and a chain. Not a lot of points, but still points.

I had four new rides in today’s dreams: a go kart, a bobsled, an elevator, and an airport escalator. I also was the reason one DC gave something to another DC: my father dropped a piece of paper, and I began running down the escalator to get the paper at the bottom; an airport employee saw me running after the paper and decided to pick it up and hand it back to my father. All of these events were in NDs.

A short LD, a chain, a medium LD and a new ride. 70 points if I calc’d it right. :tongue:

EDIT: Belated, but I suppose my next personal goal will be to summon some Vocaloid DCs. It’s on my to do list. Might as well make it official. :razz:

Just posting to say the next task will be posted tomorrow at 4 EST. You can still claim early points for Task 5 until then.

@HeadInTheClouds: I’m not sure how flight alone would count as a competition (unless you were specifically competing with other DCs who could fly the highest or something like that.) Honeymoon is not a ride, no.
For the joining task, although you did make physical contact when you took some characteristics, the idea is still to join with them in some way. So while you met the wording in the description in a way, there was no actual “joining”.
One obvious idea that comes to mind would be to walk into a DC and take their form or pull a DC into yourself and take their characteristics. There are some more creative ways though… :tongue:

@Lumessence: If there was an actual DC present that you “melded” with to take the form, then yes. Simply transforming into a DC is not enough.

I had a short LD this morning, which I posted here. I had several close calls with a Pokémon “Democracy” battle for Task 2 in NDs, but never managed it; one failed because the character I was directing to fight Pikachu was not a Pokémon.
