Lucidity Challenge 54 Winner DTDownUnder!

ND (LINK TO DJ) in which I can taste a beer. This is something extremely rare for me, both in ND and LD, so cheers !

Claiming points for “Taste something” task, done non-lucidly.

I heard some music in a lucid/non-lucid dream last night. I think I heard two different songs, one while lucid and one while not, but I don’t remember specifics. One of the songs might have been Hallelujah, but there were instruments and everything.

I also had a Long LD last night with tasks accomplished.

The simple version of it is that once I became lucid I teleported myself and the person I was with to a forest area with a huge sprawling lake. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever teleported just by will before, so that’s cool. Anyways, there were suddenly tons of people with us, so we hopped in the lake and started wading around. I transformed myself into a kid/tiny person while in the water and had the girl I was with help me dog paddle because apparently I could no longer swim in my younger form. Everyone also had a water gun fight, but there were no teams, so I guess it doesn’t count towards task completion.

Tasks Claimed:

ND

Heard Music

Long LD:

Swam in lake both as current age and while transformed as a kid.
If playing with water guns and having a huge epic water gun fight counts, then outdoor team game, but I don’t know if that should really count or not?

Claiming points for a Medium LD

Task:
Explore woods
Side Task:
Taste something (Pizza -> felt like mashed Gum)

I had a really low lucidity level so I hesitated between False LD, a Long LD and a short LD :smile:. I also remember of a campfire but I m not sure if I sat there.

Dream Journal here

Dudes. I had Nero - Into the Night as the background music for a dream this morning (and I know it wasn’t playing IRL). Sat on a fake leather sofa and felt it, felt the wood half of an ottoman. Saw myself in a video wearing a blue tank top. A lot of brown and tan in those dreams. Red numbers and letters on “checkpoint” doors as I escaped one place. I felt and saw my eyes dividing in half like a cell might (very interesting, actually). My irises for that were a deep blue. Felt the wood of some powerline poles I climbed up. (I see the wood theme now, heh.) Saw glowing yellow light through holes in some dude’s mask.

Had a lucid somewhere earlier in the night, but I really don’t remember much except that I was (probably) flying down a highway or oft-used road. I remember thinking about how it was a dream several times. I’d say low lucidity for it, maybe three minutes.

A short LD and some side tasks!

Short LD last night, no tasks.

Link DJ

In an ND here this morning, I heard the sound of a Sniper Rifle gun shot that featured some very realistic environmental reverberation properties.

In a ND I was using the restroom when I wondered if I was dreaming, but never became lucid.

Points claimed:

Wondered if I was dreaming.

Double Post :woo:

Anyways, 1 short LD & 1 medium LD. Nothing of importance happened in them though. Just couldn’t focus on tasks last night I guess.

Points Claimed:

1 Short LD

1 Medium LD

A medium LD for me back on the 17th. I have been really busy with the local bushfires and haven’t had time to sleep, let alone post on the forum.

In this LD I swam in a dam, and a dam is pretty much a lake. So I will claim Swim in the lake
I also completed the monthly quest .

Also, has anyone else noticed that the LC host, Susan_Y, hasn’t been online for over ten days? At the time I am writing this Susan_Y was last online 11 March.
Could this be a problem for the LC? This is my first LC so i’m not 100% sure of how all of this works.

I had a very brief moment of lucidity this morning.

It’s become almost a ritual at this point for LC hosts to suddenly disappear due to real-life events. The LC Curse seems to be gaining strength…

I have a medium LD to claim.

I had a medium-length LD this morning with no tasks done.

I claim points for one short DILD, one medium DILD and asked myself if dreaming in an ND (LINK TO DJ) (still have to write last ND in DJ, do it ASAP)

No tasks done, unfortunately…

Sorry for the abrupt disappearance of your host! I was stuck down ill.

The next week’s tasks will be posted soon.

Week 2 - The Modern Painters

You stand by the cathedral of Notre Dame, watching the sunset. After the sun has gone down, you make your way through the flower market, which is just closing for the evening. You catch sight of a guy buying a bunch of flowers for a blonde girl. Crossing over the bridge to the bank of the Seine, you make your way down an alleyway, and then descend the stairs to a basement café. A woman in a formal waitress dress greets you, and informs you that it is a private party. You reach into your pocket and pull out an invitation card, signed “Pablo Picasso”. You wonder if you might be able to sell it later.

The waitress is holding a bottle of a green liqueur. “Would you like some absinthe?” Nearby is a table with special glasses, spoons, and a bowl of sugar. “It tastes better if you add some sugar…” You decide to pass on the absinthe. Picasso is already drunk, and is delivering his opinions on Henri Rousseau. “The guy can’t even draw! I mean, that looks nothing like a tiger.” “But , in your own work…” “When I do it, it’s a stylization. I could draw like Raphael if I wanted to…” You decide it might be safest not to get drawn into that argument, and look around for someone else to talk to.

Tasks for this week:

  • Make an art work in your dream. (e.g. drawing, painting, sculpture) - 30 points
  • See a famous Parisian landmark (e.g the Eiffel Tower) - 10 points
  • Meet a famous artist (they don’t have to be French, or from the rough historical period implied by the introduction) - 20 points
    – Ask them a question and get an answer - +20 points
  • See a field of sunflowers - 10 points
  • See a pond with water lillies - 10 points
  • Visit a French café - 10 points
    – Have a drink in the café - +20 points
  • See a ballet dancer - 10 points

Sorry about that Susan, welcome back !
