Lucidity Challenge 42—Winner: Wyvern!

[color=#F781F3]I ate some pizza! It was kindof a weird white pizza. I don’t recall the taste… And there was something about biting someone’s clothes…

we were talking about trying to find some kind of special rune. i guess it had to do with a game? i thought you had to do a special task to get it, so i hadn’t gotten it yet. but then someone told me all you had to do was go to the area and touch it.

so we both went there, and they touched it with their shirt. for some weird reason i wanted to see what it tasted like (it kindof seemed like it was a frosting that stuck to their clothes, so i grabbed their shirt and bit down on it. I didn’t swallow anything, but just tasted that… i guess that doesn’t count though?

but it was all ND unfortunately…

for the team dream question. im not sure about that. because really what if it turns out not to be the team dream? also, it gives people an extra night to accomplish a task, more than they should have.

Loah, you were so close to the points for eating clothing; I do need you to actually eat some, including swallowing a bite. You do get points for eating junk food, though; a shame you don’t remember the taste. :sad:

I updated Loah’s score and have been collecting some opinions on the early Team Dream situation. Talking in chat, the prevailing opinion is “no, don’t count it”, even from the people who would get points. Therefore, I won’t count it.

I don’t think we should get points for completing the team dream. I think it should only count after the final decision has been posted in the forum.

Huge journal entry today.

In the first LD, I remembered the LC and started eating raw sugar candy canes which started turning me into an anthro Panda. There was a bit of weight gain but I dont think it quite hit it’s full potential as it ended a tad too soon. Was very detailed though. This one was probably around two minutes.

In the second LD, I again remembered the LC and was successful in summoning both Headintheclouds and Scipio (a first I might add). I told them about the LC and tried to summon a pile of burgers which didn’t work out. There was a lot of other activity/detail in this one and it lasted at least 15 minutes which is rather lengthy for my LDs. :smile:

Another short LD.

james_uk2008, from what little I know about Minecraft, I can mark the Enderdragon as a strong creature for Task 2. The chubby panda qualifies for Task 3 as well. Congrats on getting such a long LD, by the way!

HeadInTheClouds, noted and put in the scores.

I’ve updated the scores. There’s a big gap between third and fourth; can anybody get over that hurdle?

I toyed with the idea of me dreaming, so I guess that’s of note?

But honestly, I need to start putting effort into these things. I’m lagging behind and I don’t like that.

^ Wondering or thinking you may be dreaming is worth 5 points, so it is of note! I’ve added the points to your score. Also, that statement “I’m lagging behind and I don’t like that”… statements like that are usually the ones that drive me back into LDing after I get lazy. I had a similar thought yesterday, acted on it, and became lucid this morning, so hopefully the same works for you!

I had a dream where I was morbidly obese. I don’t recall much of it, but I recall my size well. I had so much fat that you could hide a car under it ( and it would be crushed). I was unable to move, I don’t think my legs even touched the ground. I also didn’t have a lot of clothing on…or my fat was covering it… :bored:

^ As I said in chat, your ND produced more fat than everybody else’s LDs. Maybe that’s an accomplishment…? As you physically couldn’t move, I’ll give the points for the attempt at moving; I can’t fault your dream for going well beyond what was expected, right? :tongue:

Also, I had a medium-length LD, posted here, in which I visited a fast-food restaurant and fattened up. I attempted my personal goal but failed. I know I can’t earn points as the LC’s host, but it’s a force of habit for me to post LC dreams in here. :happy: My score would be a measly 275 points if I counted everything I did from the start of the LC until now. I admittedly didn’t attempt tasks in the first five of my six LDs during this LC, but it’s interesting to see how far behind I actually would be! I don’t imagine I’d be in the top three if I had actually been trying the entire time!

I’ve updated the scores.

Had a short LD. Tried to summon Wyvern and failed. Thought about other team members, and then faded back into another ND.

^ Small failures like that happen to the best of us. Better luck next time! I’ve given you the points for the short LD.

Not lucid, but I TRIED lifting up a car at a point…

…however, I’m not sure whether lifting it up a few centimetres for a split-second counts. Probably not, but hey. I can try.

Edit: Wait, it wasn’t ‘anchored’ or ‘rooted’. Big whopping never mind, then. :I

I had a short LD, and did the fortune teller subtask from task 1. Does it still count when it was a family member?

I wondered if I was dreaming in this morning’s dream. I’m still trying to complete this weeks task, though.

Oleg, I’m sorry you were close but not quite there. :sad:

Siiw, I see no reason why it wouldn’t count, so congrats on the points. :o

Yev, I was actually just about to PM you to see if you were still participating; I know you’ve been keeping a steady DJ, but I wasn’t sure if you were still focusing on the LC. I have my answer now. :happy:

The scores are updated. Rhewin has been busy with real-life things, so I have temporarily marked him as inactive so that he does not affect the team averages. paual’s forum profile shows her last log-in as in April, so I have marked her inactive as well.

Good news and bad news!

The bad news is I tried to dream incubate about eating popcorn. Sadly, I awoke hungry and confused! Lol.

The good news is I have dreampt about my workplace for the last 4 nights. So, I will do more RCs at work. Hopefully I will trigger a LD in upcoming nights.

Think positive, and positive things will happen!

First LD all week and I tried to earn some task points… sadly no dice (or pizza even).

Hatsune Miku - Trace Adkins - Adele Crossover ~ Short Lucid Dream

Stats so far:

[spoiler]Short LDs: 2
Medium LDs: 2
Long LDs: 2
Chains: 2

Task 1:-E Did some date math. | Levitated a van and went to the Astral Plain.
Task 2:-E SUPER SAIYAN SCIPIO. | Smashed things. Ripped a tree out of the ground. Transformed via injection.
[/spoiler]

^ As I said in chat, I can’t count the chain points as you said you were unsure if you DEILDed between lucid parts at any point, and your dream journal only shows re-entering the ND and becoming lucid. That said, you still get the points for the short LD, and I updated the scores to reflect that.

The next task goes up in under 14 hours! Get your team point claims in ASAP!

    There are many pockets of close scores. I respect that not everybody is on the level of the top three, but most people have some rivals with similar scores, and I hope these rivalries serve as motivation!

The Shapeshifter team averaged 1.33 Task 3 subtasks per member and gets its vote of Spheres set as the Task 4 theme! The Action team averaged 0.86 with a vote of Altitude and the Traveler team managed 0.83 with no vote. I’ll put up the unused Altitude task in the team workspaces so that people can see what could have been, but remember that it is worth a whopping zero points; don’t try to do it for the sake of the LC. :tongue:

Task 4 will be in the next post!
