Lucidity Challenge 49 - winner: drd!

I love this week’s tasks. I hope I get something done

Well, if any transformation of mine was famed in #ld4all, I figured it’d be how I become a dragon in dreams, but I suppose I accept this. Why are you encouraging me to become something that doesn’t combo easily, though, while everybody else is urged to get combo points? I sense TM favoritism! Or, since he’s British, favouritism!

In this ND from after looking at the task (yay for WBTB), I time traveled (only one “l” in that word because I’m American ) when I was pulled into a past version of my city through a television screen.

The druid team have been super speedy again. Here is the team advantage task:

ORIGINS: Handle primordial soup. What better fit for a time-based task from a team focused on transformation than to handle the supposed source of life itself? Perhaps touching it will shed your genes into it, causing all life on Earth to resemble you. Perhaps touching or drinking the source of all life will cause you to mutate or gain the ability to become anything you desire. Perhaps you’ll handle it negligently and destroy all life as we know it! 40pts

@Thorn - wbtb for the win! Im not near a computer at the moment but will update that quick task completion tomorrow. Oh and please become any type of dino you want, I just thought that one should be easy for you?

Had a short LD here this morning which at under a minute long makes it a short one for me. Although it was short, I briefly turned myself into a fish as per Task 2s Adaptation task and tried to do the Night Druids Task Advantage for Task 2 which was to shrink myself into a body of water. I didn’t quite get to the point of being able to explore it so I dont know weather this is applicable.

time play, ghosts, space, this really is a fun and interesting week, im looking forward on reading the time dreams.

i had a ND about a time machine, i didnt use it myself so i dont know if it counts, if it does let me know and ill write down the dream.
the time machine itself was a musical instrument, in the dream it made perfect sense but when i woke up i realized its a none existent instrument, a combination of a harp and a violin, played with a very large bow on small pieces attached to the part more alike to a harp.
there were a lot like it but a certain one had that ability of time travel, one would play that certain harp/violin and would vanish as he plays, it would send him through time and i was left to see it standing without the man, strings still moving.

“you must not stop someone from approaching the harp/violin for it advises for the next person” (as in it chooses who to send) so i was told.

just for the fun of it, i had a dream about Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones.
she was a Centaur, half Brienne half… horse i think it was, quite big, fighting other people… Brienne, Centaur… imagine that ^^

I did QUANTUM LEAP, UNDERWATER, FINDING NEMO, SURF and maybe RUINS and PAUSE. For the RUINS I was in the far future and followed a Wolverine looking dude back in time to a city in ruins. We were in an abandoned building, but it felt like we were still in the future (but not as far in the future as before the time travel). For PAUSE I rewinded the actions a DC made. Might not be what you are looking for, but my SC tried Dreams

There was a black hole looking thing as well, but I didn’t create it. It sent Wolverine back in time.

@Letaali - Wow, that was some night! Nice combos in there, the only thing I’m not counting points wise is RUINS since that is about exploring the past rather than the future. The civilisation or ruins you find need to be considered ‘primitive’ technology wise (pre Industrial Revolution), but it sounds like you were in the ruins of a modern day or futuristic city. Still, very impressive point dump.

@Awe - Two close calls there. Yes you need to experience time travel, so if only you had used that wondrous device! Also, if you had gotten Centaur Brienne to give you a lift, that would have been the ride a mystic beast task… so close. Very cool dreams though.

@Thorn - You’ve just edged past Mr Xaos again with that WBTB task completion.

@James_Uk2008 - Cool transformation. Since you felt and experienced swimming as a fish, I will count it for the druid team advantage task from last week. You also get the FINDING NEMO points for seeing the other fish.

xD
never even thought about riding on Brienne the Centaur to complete the task lol

Somehow thought that task-completion only counts before next week’s tasks are announced. Just read that it’s only about the team advantage, for which it doesn’t count anymore.
In that case I am claiming points for playing in the snow as I went skiing several times in my dreams. In my most recent LD, which I already claimed points for, I also jumped onto - and a bit into - the snow (just in case skiing doesn’t count as interaction ).
In another dream I was pulled into the ocean by some big waves/underlying currents, I was underwater with my head, didn’t consciously explore though, so not sure whether that counts.

After spending plenty of time playing Splatoon yesterday, I had an ND (the first one here) in which I became the game’s signature Inkling character, complete with squid transformation for Week 2. The ND that followed it was nothing but near misses with this week’s tasks.

By the way, the scoreboard still says the Team Advantage task for the week is TBC. I was also wondering if we could perhaps get faint top and bottom cell borders now that you have the backgrounds colored or perhaps have freeze panes set for cell D3, as it’s a bit harder to read without the horizontal lines showing.

@footballfreak - yup all tasks are still worth points, but only the current week’s tasks count for earning the team advantage. Skiiing definitely counts as a fun snow activity, so you’ve got those points plus the ‘while lucid’ bonus for week 1.

@Thorn - Alright, alright, I’ve put some lines on the scoreboard, happy now?? Nice inkling TF

Scores

^ Happy? I said faint borders! What kind of LC are you running here with those dark things? I mean, really! But in all seriousness, it is a bit easier to see what points are in what row now.

I had a short LD this morning (posted here) with no tasks done.

I’m not going to win this one, am I? Some folk are just never satisfied.

Another lucid, Thorn? You’re on a roll. And you’ve almost, almost caught up with drd!

Scores (Warning, contains dark lines!)

Holy points dump Batman!

In this dream I felt as if I were sneaking by guards, because the door was locked, and I phased through the wall to freedom.

In this short LD I blew up the sun.

In this dream I rewound time.

How did you guys catch up to me? I go without internet for 1 week, and BAM everyone has points.

oh no, not the dark lines! Anything but that!

Side note - On the night before last’s , I completed the monthly quest in a very long LD, (well long for me atleast). My DJ can be seen here. Although, I have yet to receive a response about getting my wings, I thought I would link it here for the LC points.

@drd - Yep they caught up, but you’re well ahead again after that point dump. Only one problem - it’s ‘talk’ your way past a guard rather than sneak… close but no cigar.

@Jer - Quality long lucid there and grats on the Monthly Quest & earning your wings.

Scores

Is a medieval town enough for RUINS? The town was built from stone for the most parts. No electricity. There was magic, portals leading to hell and stuff.

@Letaali - Yep, lacking electricity and technology is ancient enough for that task.

Scores

Non-lucid dream.

I’m wondering whether to put this in a spoiler tag, as it possibly reveals the plot twists of a number of science fiction movies. On the other hand, these are generic clichés, and if I don’t say which the movies are, you won’t recognize them unless you’ve seen them already…

I make that a task completion of “ruins” and “meet a time-traveller.” Possibly also a completion of the “travel in time” subtask, though I won’t claim the points for that as the special effects for that bit weren’t very clear.
