Non-lucid dream in which I visit a mountain-top monastery, see a monk wearing a bear mask perform a ritual dance, and take a photograph. There was something like Goa Trance music on my phone (or an EBM/electronica version of the traditional music).
No points, I think. “Take a photograph” was a task from the previous LC, and is no longer current. I think the monastery doesn’t quite count for the “visit a temple” task, although it was close.
[spoiler]The battle to conquer the dream-Chicago is finally over, and you your fellow dreamers reunite below a giant shiny bean.
Your host Genghis Khan joins you there and starts speaking to all of you:
Well done dreamers ! I hope you enjoy using your super dream powers !
Now it’s time to add something spicy to the tasks mix
And not only spicy, also rough, hot and loud !
It’s time to focus on your senses during your lucids
Week 3 tasks are intended to blend well with previous weeks so you can combine them, but focusing not only on what you normally see: try upside-down dreaming, feel the heat of your fire magic in your hands, or hear voices of people acclaiming their new super-hero, or smell the spices in the bazaar in a Middle-East town !
And why limiting yourselves to the usual five human senses ? Try new ones ! There are many more to be discovered. Tell us about YOUR sixth sense !

Im a bit confused about this weeks tasks, because in a normal way I saw colour in this dream, heard something + voices specifically, touched something, felt texture and felt very warm. Does that all count? :o
(Im sorry if I ask too much… Im very new to this challenge thing)
Love the discover your own sixth sense assignment!
I also love the “Use a new sense” task. Sensing the aura that some people and objects give off or extending your senses to cover other objects/people, I have done those before.
Glad to hear you people like tasks so far
i believe LD experimentation is great so i am encouraging it
Meara Yes all that counts!
Not all dreams are multi-sensorial experiences, so congrats on that rich ones!
i am going to update scores later today
DTDU, my understanding is that you were not lucid when completing those tasks, and I have assigned you points accordingly - please let me know if I need to correct this
I’ve recently noticed that I wake up hearing music. It isn’t there in the real world - its something between a hypnopompic hallucination and just memory of the tune. Last night’s was Benny Benassi’s Beautiful People.
I won’t claim the task points for hearing/music because I’m not sure if I was fully asleep.
I had several dream adventures last night, none of which got me any points. It was all in black and white vision, and it wasn’t clear if I had a sense of touch.
Lucid dream, short duration (about 1 minute before I lost lucidity). My level of lucidity was fairly low, and I lost it quickly.
I claim the points for:
short duration lucid dream
see in black and white, while lucid (previously done non-lucid)
see something coloured, non-lucid (blue grey vs neutral grey. I was possibly red-green blind or seeing with a very unnatural colour palette).
hear, while lucid
hear music, while lucid (Martin Garrix’s In the Name of Love)
touch something, non-lucid (I felt the flow of air against my bare skin. In later parts of the dream I had a sense of touch in my fingertips while picking up objects, rotating a combination lock, etc.)
feel texture, while non-lucid
The video settng changed spontaneously during the dream; I’m not sure if the change needs to be an intentional action by me to count for the task,
