Lucidity Challenge 54 Winner DTDownUnder!

Haven’t done one of these in a long time. For personal goal completed while non-lucid, will it also still be able to be completed while lucid? How does that work out point wise?

1. Thorn — Breathe fire
2. HeadInTheClouds - Say a full sentence in a foreign language

I don’t get as lucid as often as I used to. I decided to go a bit easy on my goal, but it’s still a challenge. I’ve tried to do this for a long time, I may have been successful once, but I’m not sure. It’s surprisingly difficult to remember to do and to actually say anything that makes sense.

First of all thanks again Susan for hosting in my place.

As for my personal task: all planets I have visited were very Earth-like, I will settle only for something really bizarre in terms of flora / fauna.

As major handicap, I will claim points only for weekly tasks successfully completed during ND / DILD / DEILD / spontaneous (not WILD).

I’m hosting, so no points for me. But anyway, non-lucid dream in which i GM a D&D game; the scenario was The Caverns of Thracia. The late showing players in the dream possibly referring to the late signups for this challenge.

Guess I’ll come back from oblivion for a little while. There’s so much I do on a regular basis in my FLDs that it’s hard to think of something appropriate for a goal for the LC. Regardless, here’s a link to how I’d prefer to appear. It’s essentially this, except I’d be yellow and white instead.

    I haven’t done one of these in a long time, haven’t had a LD in a long time either, but I’ll give it a shot.

Ok, we’ve got 10 signups, so we’re ready to go.

Side Tasks

These side tasks can be done either lucid or non-lucid. The “early”, “combo” or “lucid” bonus do not apply to these side tasks.

• See a colour that is not black, white or a shade of grey - 10 points (Seeing in partial colour, e.g. if you are red-green blind in the dream, counts for the points)
• Hear a sound that is something other than a DC speaking - 10 points
• Hear music - +10 points (this is a subtask of the previous one. Must include an instrumental element - unaccompanied singing doesn’t count)
• Feel warmth or cold (either ambient temperature, or something you touch) - 10 points
• Feel the texture of a surface that you touch (inanimate objects or hair/skin of dream characters counts) - 10 points
• Taste something - 10 points
• Smell something - 10 points

Week 1 - Camp LD4All

“You’ll be alright, won’t you?” your mother asks anxiously. You watch as her car drives away, leaving you standing my the camp entrance. There is a statue of a moose, and a cloth banner reading “Camp L4All”. Susan is there; she is older than you.

“Welcome to Camp LD4All. I’m Susan and I’m your camp counsellor for the week. I’ve got lots of fun activities planned and I’m sure you’ll all have a great time.” She tries to ignore the sceptical expression on your face. She gestures towards a girl about your age, who is wearing Goth clothing. “Oh, and meet Wednesday Addams; I’m sure you’ll get along fine.” Wednesday also looks sceptical at this point.

Anyway, on to the this week’s tasks:

• Sit by a campfire - 10 points

[list]
[*] Cook something over the campfire (e.g. marshmallows) - +10 points

• Sing a campfire song - +10 points
• The campfire song is a Terry Pratchett reference - +20 points
  [/:m]
  [] Explore the woods - 10 points[/:m]
  [] Climb a tree - 10 points[/:m]
  []Swim in the lake - 10 points (Has to be outdoors, and not the sea/ocean to count).[/:m]
  []Help put up a tent - 20 points[/:m]
  []Be inside a tent - 10 points[/:m]
  []Play an outdoor team game, such as baseball - 20 points[/*:m][/list:u]

Bonus: Do any of the above tasks while transformed younger that your current real-life self: +30 points. This bonus can only be claimed once.

With apologies to: Addams Family Values, Moonrise Kingdom, National Lampoon’s Vacation…

Um… who is Terry Pratchett? (Guess this means I’m not getting those points. )

Terry Pratchett was the author of the Discworld fantasy novels … in which, among other things, there are a number of scenes where the characters sing songs with mildly dirty lyrics.

And I am claiming the first LD in which our LC host was playing with me
Short LD with a few side missions:

· Feel something that you touch.
· See something that is not black or grey

I think I did more but I cannot remember properly the feelings so I ll let them.

Yay ! A DILD !

Medium length DILD (LINK TO DJ), in which I find myself in my youngness room, float through a window, go to a city park and set up a tent in a clearing among the trees.
Claim points for below tasks:

• See something colored - the curtain on the window was distinctly light blue (it was taken from my memory after all)
• Set up tent
• Explore woods - Not sure: I walk through the city park for a bit, many dense trees, but it’s not woods

Interestingly enough, when thinking about it this morning, my mind could have set a framework for getting me younger than my current age (another task), since I started the dream in the room I last stayed in ~12 years ago. However, I did not “feel” younger during the dream, so I am not claiming any points.

No Lucids yets. However, I did get a side task done in normal dreams.

I saw plenty of colors, including but not limited to blue & red. I had traveled back in time to an old store from the 90s and was seeing a whole bunch of nostalgic stuff, including an array of M&M dispensers.

Just a short lucid for me. I’m gonna claim the see colors task. I recall a very vibrant green.

Almost Forgotten Lucid - Short Lucid Dream - Side Task: See a Color

Stats so far:

[spoiler]Short LDs: 1

Task 1: ~ none ~
Side Task: See a Color
[/spoiler]

Ok so i’m getting in on the action a little late but I think I have made up for it with the amount of recall I had last night. I usually fill around 2-4 pages of my DJ each morning but this morning I filled a full page with just single worded notes.
I have started a digital DJ to make things a bit easier for me.

For this ND I am claiming following :
See a colour that is not black, white or a shade of grey.
Dream appeared in full color (as far as I could tell) but to confirm this I clearly remember the library steps having gold colored flashings. And the bricks were brown.

Hear a sound that is something other than a DC speaking.
Hear music.
The dog barking and the music in the concert.

Personal goal in a non-lucid dream.
For my personal goal, I found a symbol but I wasn’t able to bring back a very clear image of it. I will try to get a better image of It in my next LD.

All NDs for me. Definitely saw lots of red (a display in a Knights of Sidonia-style battle, a tongue, a blanket), yellow on the same blanket, blond hair on a girl, etc.

Heard our cat meowing angrily at me (does that count as a DC speaking?), and he also jumped up on me and started biting me through the blanket (felt both of those, the blanket and sharp cat teeth).

Also came out of a TV at one point, and started watching it as a show instead. Ended up turning into a Steven Universe thing, and it had some song going. I don’t specifically remember the instrumental stuff, but I don’t think it was just vocals.

Also tasted some produce while at a grocery store. Just started eating it off the shelves and paid later. xD Taste I remember most was cucumbers.

Dated/ate dinner with/talked with some cannibals later. At the end, I decided to kill them, so my (RL) bf and I went back in their underground enclosure. The elevator between the two floors was long, and when we got back down, I made a black hole in my mouth that was sort of purple, black, and white swirled. I’d “charge” it in my mouth (which made a feeling like a filled bubblegum bubble), then decide where it would hit. After that, I would “charge” the feeling again to take it back in my mouth. Did that twice, then one of the guys tried to bait me into placing it onto a blank canvas so they could catch me in the act. I did put it on the painting, but instead disguised it so it wasn’t obvious. My mouth didn’t feel like it had another more in it after I placed it, and we watched as the clan’s matron reluctantly opened it to find a folded paper flower instead of a canvas. The black hole was hidden inside it, and as she held it, I activated the black hole again. I’d charged it up a lot longer than usual, so it covered a lot more area. (Actually, it acted more like the globe from Tenseiga, now that I think about it, except it grew and shrunk as it worked.) The lights dimmed, the building started shaking and crumbling, and my bf and I got the hell out of there in the elevator (of which the outside looked plastic).

Okay, so most of the last part wasn’t needed, but it was a fun dream.
