Lucidity Challenge 43: Winner - drd!

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.

The third dream here is my longest LD ever and has several tasks. I try to bring my plush to life but “fail” when the dream provides an alternate explanation. I later start music in a dreamscape and then change that music to different music. I tame a group of rowdy orangutans when I unexpectedly transform into one and teach them to swim. A human DC turns himself into a hedgehog plush, which I then turn into a miniature version of my avatar, so I brought a toy animal to life and transformed a DC into an animal (and if only one of these counts at a time, I brought a small figurine to life later).

I’m pretty happy with myself. :tongue: The only thing that frustrated me is, well…
I guess what has me angry or sad or something is that I caught the dream fading and fixed it not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES this morning
but because of DEILD, that’s worth nothing; it’s actually worth more to let it end and restart it
Saving the dream was a stupid decision on my part. I really should’ve just let the LD end once and re-entered for the chain bonus and “first time using a technique” bonus, but meh; I’ll find those 60 points elsewhere. That, or I’ll visit drd and Scipio in their homes and start shaking them when they try to DEILD. Either works. :wink:

Also, the second ND at that link has my pets being “found” as in the task description, in case the brief glimpse at them I claimed before doesn’t count.

Had a short lucid yesterday… I say short because I can’t remember some parts from the way I woke up. I did my personal task of creating stars by singing. Didn’t turn out the way I intended it too, oh well. :razz:

[spoiler]It began with an ND of watching TV with my friends. The show was about some love triangle going on between some galactic space people. One guy gave up on pursuing the women, he wanted her to be happy with the other man. I watched on the edge of my seat overcomed with emotion as the man guides the hands of the woman and man together. We switched off the TV as soon as the show ended. My friends wanted to play some ball toss game in the basement that was featured in the show we watched. Two stayed behind sleeping on the couch. I wake up around here.

I remained still and watched for HH. I see my phone and imagined myself using it. I find myself back in the previous dream now. Using the time on the top corner of my mobile screen, I do the time RC which proved I was dreaming. Immediately my vision declines, the right eye again. (IWL my arm was putting pressure on my right eye :razz:) My friends watched as I held onto my eye willing it to function normally. One asked what I was doing. I started to feel them all slowly become hostile towards me. I get up with one poor eye and looked at a wall that seems to have all my vitals… my vision numbers were dropping. I hopped through the wall before they could act. Here, it becomes a blur. I went off to do some task.

Somewhere I recalled my personal task. I stabilized by rubbing my hands together. My personal task requires me to be outside, so I hopped out a window. The sky was still blue and definitely not dark enough for my task. Hopping out the window I ended up deep in the sea… I swam upwards to the surface and flew up to a rooftop. I have no idea why… but somehow I had turned into the character SpongeBob… Then, suddenly, I find myself in my parent’s room. I stabilized by rubbing my hands together and reminding myself that I am still sleeping in bed. It was quite frustrating being so out of control. I didn’t want to waste time changing back to my real body. I jumped out my parent’s window to the rooftop and sang the first song on my mind. I don’t remember it now. My plan was to have the notes flow out of me towards the sky and become stars. I did not realize while singing, that the sky had gone dark. I was very frustrated, I kept teleporting uncontrollably back into my parent’s room. Not only that, but I also had acquired the character’s horrible voice. I managed to suppress it though. After a while the teleporting stopped, I was able to sing properly. The notes did not flow out as planned but when I looked up to the sky I saw many, many stars! I was facing the direction of the city and IRL you can’t see as many stars in that direction. The stars were mostly uniformly dispersed but some places were clustered. It was not as pretty as I liked it to be and my vision was still lacking in one eye. Somewhat content, I spend the last bit of the dream singing moon river. I looked up to the sky and see a gigantic waning gibbous moon. Then I wake up shortly after.[/spoiler]

@drd: wow, sounds like this was your week! Points, points everywhere!

@Scipio: close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades :razz:

@Siiw: there are no longer any “very short” LDs, they simply count as short. The only time it wouldn’t count as a LD for scoring purposes would be if you woke up while still questioning if you are dreaming.

@Thorn: somehow the image of you as a monkey is fitting :lol:

Scores are updated

If you have anything that could count for your team advantage, you have just over an hour to get it posted!

Team Participation*
Transformation: 17.6% (2.1 tasks per member)
Investigation: 4.7% (.57 tasks per member)
Creation: 4.2% (.5 tasks per member)

*Participation rates calculated by the number of tasks completed by a team divided by the number of members on the team. Average number of tasks is then divided by total number of tasks. 100% participation is 12 tasks per member in Tasks 2-4

Medium LD.

Tamed animals in my dream (made them into Nazi bunnies)
Talked with animals (Told them to mate and they responded :tongue:)

My second personal task was also kiiinda done, but I’m not satisfied. There were no SQUIDS! Not gonna count that.

[community.ld4all.com/t/wyverns-lucid-logs-ii/33131/58)

Yea, I know Rhewin. Just a little frustrated that I came really close to doing it and was robbed of my chance to swim. :tongue:

As to today, a short LD, no tasks. It was a very low level lucid and I didn’t have a strong grasp of my thinking capabilities to do anything more than run on instinct and follow the plot.

Task 3 - Technology!

Isn’t technology great? It’s improved our lives in a lot of ways, and it seems like there’s always more coming out. Technology in dreams can get even crazier. After all, anything is possible. This week, we’re going to explore the world of dream technology. And while it’s easy to think of technology as meaning electronics, technology has been around for centuries. In fact, some technology lets us see the centuries.

Also, you’ll notice now that team tasks are now worth more in general. No more freebies, you’ll have to really work for these.

Use an electronic device (smart phone, computer, etc.) 20pts
Use an outdated piece of technology (steam powered, water powered, etc.) 20pts: to be clear, the power source doesn’t matter. It just needs to be something that is now obsolete and not in common use. So yes, an abacus counts. But a TI-83 does not. Don’t blame me, blame TI for never updating anything.

Use a 3D printer to make something 30pts: I don’t care how you make the printer work or if it’s actually a real-life model, just make it happen.
Build your very own robot out of whatever is laying around 40pts: it could be made out of anything, so long as it can move and do things on its own.

Ask a computer the answer to life, the universe, and everything 30pts: ok, it doesn’t have to be a computer. Just some kind of sentient technology works.
Go into the internet 40pts: exploring cyberspace is the easy part. Getting in is tricky. I’ll suggest going in through a computer monitor.

Turn a DC into a robot 30pts: this should be obvious, but turning a DC into a robot does not count as building one for the creation task.
Use technology in a way it’s not intended 40pts: cook some food in the refrigerator, mow the lawn with your TV, sit down and relax while watching the World Cup on the radio. I dunno. Surprise me.

Task 3 Team Tasks

Creation: your team is going to make an invention this round. It’s up to you to decide what your invention is supposed to do. You don’t need to all use the same components, but all of your inventions should have the same function. Remember to get one of your team mates to help build it!

Investigation: it’s time for time! It’s Rhewin, you know that I have to do some kind of time travel. Pick what time period you’d like to go to, and, with a team member, check out some of the technology of the time. Getting to the time period is the important part, it’s ok if the tech isn’t exactly historically accurate. This is especially true if you pick the future.

Transformation: upgrade time. You’re going to give yourself and a team mate cybernetic enhancements. Your team needs to pick out what enhancement you want. Then, in a dream, give yourself and a team member the enhancement. You only need to decide what the enhancement does, you can figure out the how in your dream.

[center]Transformation Advantage[/center]
Transformation Team! You have won the advantage for Task 3! This week you can create your own task as long as it involves transformation and is based on this phrase: Giant Robots.

You have 48 hours to create the task or I’ll make one for you. Transformation can include a lot of things. You can change yourself, DCs, the environment, whatever. Think creatively… or… transformationaly.

ARGH! I used a spinning wheel in a dream, before I had read the task! This is getting ridiculous. :cool_raz:

Does this count as taming an animal? From last night (Pre Task 3), normal dream:

I also hugged a grey seal… :confused:
