Lucidity Challenge 47 - Winner Rhewin

So, while I’m on a roll… more tasks and lucids.

Short lucid dream. While not lucid, I had a spiritual discussion with a powerful lion spirit that liked to talk in riddles and zen quotes. Then did the animal watching task when I became lucid, and attempted my personal goal but lost lucidity.

In a long lucid dream I found a church in a forest and went inside. It was a museum - a temple of knowledge.

Hello! How are you guys? :peek:

Sunday: one long LD: I got into some sort of dungeon, found a secret chamber and also found a crest inside. It had just old clothes, I tried them hoping they could include the magical amulet/ring task and removed them asap really upset.

Monday: one medium LD split into 2 FAs (the second FA was short, I dunno if I should consider it another LD), tried the new monthly quest just because today is February 2nd. (I already have monthly quest points, ignore this part)

DETAILS

I’ll be getting points later once I have some more free time. The team dreams are locked in though! Tggtt already described the Water Team’s dungeon in another post, so I’ll just be listing the Fire and Grass team dungeons.

Here is the Fire Team’s dungeon:

  1. It is located in a hellish underworld surrounded by dark red ground, lava and volcanoes.
  2. It’s a prison for a monster that is released when you open five seals.
  3. It’s guarded by fire elementals that attack anyone not from the fire team and they can be commanded by members of the fire team.
  4. At the centre of the temple is an altar on which burns a flame that can never be extinguished.

And here is the Grass Team’s dungeon:

  1. The only way to enter the temple/dungeon is to shrink down below the height of grass blades or become a bug as these transformations allow dreamers to enter a tiny hole in the doorless, windowless temple walls or drop into the tiny dungeon from above. The dreamers need to remain this way throughout the temple/dungeon as its core mechanic; there can’t be any other size changing unless they want to be branded as cheaters.
  2. Exploring through a small creature’s home, such as a beehive, a bird’s nest, ant tunnels, a rabbit hole, a snake’s den, a sticky spider web that can snare dreamers, a rat hole, or the inside a tree (for termites)
  3. Fighting, riding, or fleeing what would normally be a small creature, as noted in point 2.
    4.Using a leaf practically, such as:
  • Using it as a parachute to navigate through the air (not just for falling, as that’d be harmless; see below)
  • Hiding under it to avoid predators
  • Making a tiny boat or swinging it to fan a tiny platform to cross a small puddle or bit of water runoff

Welp, I guess my post will have to be what’s below, even though it’s actually a new page…? The collab document said:

[color=#43D0A3]Being able to move like an insect isn’t really its own mechanic, but it’s understood to be part of the scale mechanic. Dreamers would have incredibly high leaps, high strength, and be able to fall far harmlessly… relative to their size, of course; they’re actually weaklings that could have their dream lives snuffed out pretty easily.[/color]

We also noted that at such a small scale, one could probably just run across water effortlessly if one didn’t stop moving; I don’t think Mew’s counting that part for anything, which is a shame because it’s a really neat concept. Physics are amazing!

In a medium-length LD last night, posted here, I encountered an evil witch who enjoyed growing and eating the innocent. I did two bingo tasks by giving her a taste of her own medicine: I used a giant-sized bite with powerful teeth (which I am claiming as a weapon given its practicality for the situation) to eat a giant object—namely, her head. The giant object eating completes column D on my bingo board.

Had a ton of dreams this morning but I was drawing a blank remembering very simple subtasks… >.<
In any case, points were still obtained.

LD #2831 : First part of the dream had to do with Bambi and his mother getting shot and then Bambi himself getting brutally murdered. There was a FA where this was repeated. Some stuff about ponies and chocolate. I ate a lot of chocolate.
I went to some store where I both cloned myself many, many times… though this appeared to age me with every clone. I also inverted gravity, causing a huge mess.
I spent the rest of the dream trying to remember the subtasks again, eating chocolate, and talking to a little boy.

LD #2833 (medium)The dream before and after this were me trying to rack my brain for the damn subtasks which I normally don’t have a problem remembering. So much wasted dream time… That’s not to say I didn’t do anything, but I could have been more productive. #firstworldproblemsLDedition
Anyway, I did turn into a dragon which happens to be the polymorphing subtask.

LD #2835 (medium) I was at my grandparents’ house. Ate more food and talked briefly with dream Nana. Beside the pantry in the kitchen was a hidden door that looked like a wall. It opened to reveal a secret room with blue LED lights all around… and that’s about it.
Later in the dream I went up to a lake and remembered to drink my crab potion which didn’t actually turn me into a crab but a seal instead. I was with some other seals and they all jumped into the water and got brutally murdered by huge sharks. All but one. That one said I could come in the water now and the sharks were done. Went swimming and saw what looked like the water dungeon in the distance (waterfall and snowy area), but woke up.

Siiw: Congrats on the LD! :happy: Cool effect from the potion, although you already got points for making plants grow with your mind.

obfusc8: Nice. I really liked the part with the lion. With all that lucidity that you’ve been getting, are you sure you’re the one who’s caged, though?

Tggtt: Hello! :tongue: Everything’s been counted. Also, you can get points for each Quest that occurs during the LC, so if you actually completed the monthly Quest, you’d get points! :wink:

Thorn: Neat! Congrats on finally getting a Bingo! :razz:

Wyvern: You are absolutely killing it with the Bingo board. :woo: The other subtasks don’t hurt either.

As for me, I got a very brief moment of lucidity! Woo! Finally I can get that free space filled in on my own bingo board. :tongue:

Scores are finally updated

Mew, I was hoping watching the flight of a formation of geese would qualify for the animal watching task? (From previous post.)

Anyway, last night was also a lucid night! Medium LD in which I completed my personal goal.

I’d like my new goal to be ‘Cast a baleful polymorph spell on someone!’ :ebil:

^Got it. Also got the geese, which I forgot to add in. Scores are updated

I had three short LDs this morning, posted here, the second of which was inadvertently brought on by a new technique—my first WILD. The third LD nearly had a DEILD, so I almost managed to claim new technique points twice in one day.

^Got all that. Congrats on your first WILD! How’s it like succeeding in what is definitely the objectively best lucid dreaming technique? :razz:

Scores are updated

In a normal dream, I explored a castle and rescued some cat-people from a dungeon… it must have seeped into my SC from last night’s RP game. :smile:

In a normal dream I explored a dungeon in a GW2-like game. I got a ring of ascended quality level. It allowed me to kill monsters that were otherwise unkillable due to a buff they had. The buff looked like blue ethereal shackles on the monsters. After I equipped the ring, one auto-attack was enough to break the shackles.

I had a medium-length LD this morning, posted here, in which I found a secret room. I believe I DEILDed into the LD, as I had several awakenings this morning and I have no memory of “becoming” lucid; is DEILD worth new technique points separately from WILD, or are they close enough to not count?

:sad: :sad: :sad:

Got all that.

Remember: You have around 12 more hours to design your team’s monster!

Had a medium LD this morning where I used a wand to shut up someone couldn’t understand sarcasm/was overly sensitive. :tongue:

^Got it! Also, I don’t know why I wrote 12 hours in that last post. It was supposed to be 24, but I got distracted by things! Still, everyone should really complete their monsters as soon as possible. I’m talking to you, water team! :tongue:

Last night I had a medium LD in which I explored NYC’s sewers (they’re pretty dungeon-y, right?) and achieved my personal goal of becoming a vampire.

For my new personal goal, I’d like to fly via firebending/Iron-Man-style.

I think I had enough of monthly quests :neutral:

SPOILER - Click to view

Tuesday: I had a short LD and I could eat wild berries.
Wednesday: Two LDs, a medium and a long LD.

[edit] Actually Wednesday and Thursday, my mistake. Doesn’t affect scoring.

prose42: Congrats on doing your personal goal! :woo:

Tggtt: No! Do ALL the Quests! :razz:

Scores are updated.
