  11. N@t3 - Transform yourself into an animal or mythical creature

I can imagine that one of the hardest things is to transform yourself into something else. I transformed myself into a cat and an owl but what about a dragon? I think it could be fun for everbody.

What do I look like? I prefere wearing jeans and a hoodies so I think I will do that in your dreams as well. I love it to hide my face but if you want to see one, I’m Asian :smile:

I’m back! :woo:
Thanks for putting up with the wait people, this was the best way for me to make sure I will be online for the entire LC.

If anyone was wondering how my trip went, it was amazing. I stopped wearing my watch a few days in, and for most of the trip I used the sun as my clock and the moon as my calendar.

Anyway, I will be starting the LC shortly. I continued writing the first task last night (after I rediscovered the internet) and I should be finished tonight. I will start task some sometime tomorrow. (when I say tomorrow I mean my tomorrow, which could be anywhere between 5 and 36 hours away, depending on what type of sleep cycle I use tonight :plotting: )

[center]Week One: Gorge Risk Area[/center]

As is tradition…

You squint as you step out of the bus, the blazing sun beats down on the red dirt. Pete, your tour guide, asks for the group to follow him down a path worn between the spinifex. Someone enquires as to where it is they are going. Pete is caught off guard as he is halfway done shoving a muesli bar in his mouth.
“Um chough, To the lookout.”
He says with a cheek full of oats and macadamias.
As you follow at the rear of the group you try to find your sunnies in your backpack. You’re not looking where you are walking and trip on a half buried rock. The red ground rushes up to meet you as you try to miss the spinifex bush. Luckily, your backpack breaks your fall and you are unhurt. You brush yourself off as you stand back up and try to catch up with the rest of the group.
A little while down the track you arrive at the lookout, as you walk onto the metal platform you gaze down into the great canyon. It seems to be about 150m deep and about the same wide.
Pete is busy explaining the features of sedimentary rock and how it is formed.
Another tourist tries to open a map while standing on the edge of the lookout, just as he gets it open it is ripped from his hands by a sudden gust of wind, he tries to grab at it but he is too slow. You quietly chuckle as the bright piece of paper slowly descends into the gorge.
You just have time to snap a quick picture before Pete leads the group down another track.
The track leads you to the edge of the gorge. Pete stops in front of some signs that are titled “GORGE RISK AREA”, and he explains some of the dangers of entering the gorge. You take the chance to look for your sunnies again. You find them quite quickly but when you pull them out of the backpack they are broken. The fall must have cracked the lense. You stare at them for a moment before tossing them back in your backpack, never to be looked for again.

“…and remember, once you get down to the bottom, be sure to turn left, there isn’t a marked path to the right.” Pete has been giving instructions to the members of the group that want to explore the gorge. “I am going back to the bus to get lunch ready, be back before noon please.”

Hearing this makes you pull out your notepad to double check what you wrote down last night. You had been talking to your mate that had been in the gorges with some locals last year.

“To get to the pools, turn left at the bottom. To get to the aboriginal artwork, turn right. They will probably tell you not to go to the right, they don’t usually show it to tourists…”

My appearance for this challenge: Fair skin, shoulder-length red hair, wearing an indigo-coloured denim skirt and a T-shirt.

I can’t think of a personal challenge this time :frowning:

Non-lucid dream, in which I find maps of the North Sea and the island of Hispaniola.

I claim the points for the “find a map” task.

(Even though the map looks like it belongs in Pirates of the Caribbean rather than an Australian adventure).

Non-lucid dream, in which I visit a ranch and see some long-horned cattle.

I claim the points for the “see an animal” task.

The animal was not indigenous to Australia, so I’m not claiming the points for the subtask. The landscape could possibly have been Australia, or the American West.

Had a non-lucid dream this weekend where I spoke with a cat and it responded to me but I was too busy to type it up. That dream also had some… weird content in it, so the actual conversation would be ~snip~'ed from my dream journal anyway.

Two ND and two short LD in the past days LINK to DJ entry

I can claim points for below tasks, both in LD
Find a Large canyon/ gorge/ hole
-View it from a lookout/ platform

Brief ND fragment for me last night for me.

Jumped the gun on the canyon task, unfortunately. Had dream of walking through throngs of Buddhist-appearing aboriginals in a red rocky canyon N Korea on the 21st (you mentioned the canyon task on the 22nd, I believe).

Anywho…back to intending lucidity! Maybe I can find that place again in an LD :smile:

Lucid dream (short duration, 30 seconds) in which I view a canyon from a lookout.

There was also a rock formation a bit like Kaya Tjuta. except it was thinner relative to its height.

Non-lucid dream where I see a large hawk.

Now that we are getting some tasks done, I have made up a spreadsheet for the scores. Please let me know (via pm/ comment on the sheet) if you find any errors. ( there is bound to be some, I only just (re?)discovered how to use a spreadsheet.)
Anyway, (<<— I think I say that to much (and use “(” and “)” to much))

Click somewhere here for the link to the Scoresheet.

LD fragment for me here last night

Hm, I hope I understood how this works :happy:

On Jul. 25th I had a LD. I’d say it was medium according to its length. But you can check out here.

Non-lucid dreams. I talked with a frog. He looked like Fukasaku from Naruto.

Would a fjord count for “Find a Large canyon/ gorge/ hole”? If so, then I got that done too.

Non-lucid dream in which I have an activity booklet of things to do in the canyon. No points scored I think, but at least it was on-topic to the challenge.

Scores updated.
Yell out if you see an error.

Short LD and medium-length LD last night.
The first LD was very early so I barely recall it. I remember jumping down into a canyon (not over, so task 3 doesn’t count).
In the second LD I swam in a pool of water, not related to a gorge.

Had one short LD here this morning. No tasks completed but did feature an extremely rare occurence for me which was “self powered flight” in the form of an Anthro Hawk. :smile:
