Lucidity Challenge 43: Winner - drd!

Rhewin: Hopefully many more to come. :wink:

That being said, in a chat with Koharo last night I realized something I’d really like to do for my second personal goal. I’d like to fly into space and gaze back at the planet (maybe Earth, maybe not) that I came from. I know I went to “space” in that LD I submitted recently, but that’s not really what I’m going for.

So… new Personal Task: fly straight up into space and gaze back at the planet below.

I had an ND of taming a gigantic dog. Not sure it counts for anything? I came across two enormous dogs that looked like golden retrievers. They were almost as tall as me! I placed my hand out to one of the dogs and walked slowly towards it. I gently pet him and eventually he warms up to me. It was very vivid. Stroking his fur seemed so real. I sat down and he curled up by my legs and fell asleep to me running my fingers through his fur. :content:

Had a pretty vivid ND here where I effectively became a Minotaur by possessing it’s body.

Another night of strange dreams for me. I had a long LD. I’ve got a lot to write, so I put the LD in the spoiler tag.

[spoiler]My mind kept playing tricks on me, making me think I’d already completed some tasks. Plus, I had a dream earlier in the night that all of Task 2 had been changed.I looked around for a transformation team member, but only found my cat and my mother in some weird yoga meditating pose.

After that strangeness, I went back to my room and tried to transform into a merman, but it wasn’t working. I couldn’t remember any tasks, but then my Native American Flute appeared and I remembered task 1. I took the flute out and played it, trying to also cause some kind of physical phenomenon for the other part of task 1. In the dream, I thought everything was normal, but looking back on it, I think I succeeded. First off, when I played towards something, like the wind chimes or Chinese lanterns hanging in my bedroom :rc: , they would blow around like they were in the wind. Second, I was able to cause a little shadow-like ball to pop out of the shadow of me playing my flute. Third, I was able to see some kind of wavy distortion right around my nose area, where according to dream logic, was my breath being displaced from playing the flute. By the way, at first the flute wasn’t playing right, but sometime around the shadow ball shooting out of the shadow flute, it started to sound good.

I also conquered an issue I have with windows. Normally the screen gets in my way, but this time I slid it across like I do with the normal part of the window and was able to go through my window outside to the pool. I saw a geese, but I don’t think that counts for anything. Then, an odd looking bird came flying through the sky,as did a blue, green, and golden fish with a large mouth. It landed in the pool and started to try and eat me while I was attempting the merman transformation again. I grabbed it and flung it around. The bird flew by and started telling me “that this fish is crazy. I mean, have you ever seen a fish try to eat a bird before?” I swung the fish towards the bird and it bit down on it, almost snapping it in half. Then I threw it over the fence where there was no more water. However, the fish jumped back over the fence and was trying to eat me again. Apparently it was a super jumper fish.[/spoiler]

I just remembered as I was typing this post up that I had a ND, where I was on a camping/hiking trail and my cat decided to run up to a large pack of a bear/wolf pack. I think it was bears at one point, and then changed to wolves. Does this count for meeting an exotic animal in its habitat?

So, yeah, a lot of strangeness from last night. I honestly didn’t even realize how odd a bird talking to me was until I wrote it down here. I also didn’t mean to kill the bird, but it happened.

Also, no tasks, but just wanted to share. There was a treasure hunt going on in one of my NDs, which led to a hotel where Abed from Community was dressed in white robes and singing some odd song that was supposed to be a hint. I had this dream I think twice last night and the second time I ganged up with him, Shirley, and possibly someone else to screw everyone else out of the competition.

Here is a long LD in which I communicate telepathically with an animal (how convenient that I visualize LD4all members based on avatars :tongue:). I know I already did this Task task, but I now have the lucid bonus for it.

Rhewin, I’m totally mad that you added “Become lucid” as a Quest condition, as I explored pyramids in an ND. :grrr: How dare the Quests on a lucid dreaming site require lucidity…!

Had 3 lds chained together for a long length. Flipped some cars and flew. Looked for my cat and failed. No subtasks completed

6/29/14
-Played air guitar, feeling these strange vibrations on my fingers and torso every time I’d strum. Wasn’t a lucid dream though…

@Letaali: yep, that counts :content:. That was a normal dream, yes?

@Scipio: fly away

@HeadInTheClouds: if you consider a bear/wolf to be exotic, I can count that. Points for the music task as well.

@Koharo: air or not, that’s still an instrument!

Scores are updated

Thorn has now made his way into the top three and is tied with En’enra for second. HeadInTheClouds is only 15 points behind in third.

I don’t have time to completely calculate the team participation rate at the moment. I do know that the Transformation Team is still leading, but Creation is on the board now.

Yes, it was a normal dream. Also heard a guitar being played and some music from a radio after that dream, so those points should be fairly well covered.

I had a medium LD or rather a string of three short ones. Will post after work, no tasks done.

Another short, rather unimpressive LD here. No tasks accomplished as I heard the music after I lost lucidity.

I had a long ld chained with 7-8 long DEILDs for a VERY long combined length. I think the initial ld may have been my longest ld. I talked to my cat, turned my mom into a dog, and talked to her as well. I also completed my personal goal for sure this time.

@Rhewin

I’m on the fence about the task myself, but after thinking about it, I think it would probably be better not to count bears/wolves as exotic. I feel like an exotic animal ought to be one you could find at the Zoo.

I had a long LD last night. I’ll just count it as long. I lost and regained lucidity in the dream. I might have tamed an animal last night. I felt like I “changed its alignment”, and then later summoned it to attack some enemies, but I didn’t adopt it or control it or anything. I did make it stop attacking me, though.

I briefly glanced at my pets in the second ND here.

I also turned music into something physical.

So close to doing all the subtasks and the team dream for the current task… Just needed another minute or so and it would have been in the bag and I would have been swimming in the ocean… Oh well… there’s always tonight! :happy:

[/spoiler]

Talked with a dog in a non-lucid dream.

I had a DILD with 3 DEILDs chained together for a long ld, where i flew aroung and completed no tasks. After a 20 min wbtb I Had 6-7 more for another long length. I stretched out a butterknife, and played it like a guitar. I flew around a stadium, with my wings playing this guitar for a couple of my friends It played evry note I thought of.

Very short LD. Is the limit still 30 seconds? I’m not sure if it was more than that, or not.
