From last night’s non-lucid dreams:
-Saw something colored
-Hear something
-Hear voice
-Touch something
From last night’s non-lucid dreams:
-Saw something colored
-Hear something
-Hear voice
-Touch something
Indeed, I was not lucid. Am I right in understanding that no lucid tasks are half points?
Did the following tasks in a lucid dream last night: Touch something, feel texture, and see something coloured (whole dream was in colour).
Saved some people with teleporting in last night’s dream. Teleported into the ocean, feeling the cold water. Later I touched some sticky coins.
Claiming “Feel texture”, “Feel hot/cold” and “Famous superpower”. I think teleporting is pretty famous. It was a non-lucid dream.
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.
From last night’s non-lucid dream:
Ate diced vegetables, drank cola.
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:
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,
Normal dream,
*Wear a costume
*engage in a fight
*Hear something
It hasn’t been a particularly exciting dream week for me.
Correct
My idea was a bit different, but the description fits, so I am awarding you these points
This is fine, it seems your SC is reacting well to LC suggestions !
Congratulations on achieving lucidity - very few lucids in this LC…
You had already completed that task
As for me, I am travelling on a tight schedule, so got little time to focus on dreaming
Despite of that, I had some quite nice lucids I just posted
I’m missing early points from week 2 and 3.
Broke though my dry LD spell today with an LD here which at 2-3 minutes long makes it a medium one for me. No task completed but was re-united with my nan again as she died several years ago. I genuinely felt like I had met her again.
Thanks for pointing that out, everyone was missing those
Congratulations on getting lucid !
Based on your DJ entry, I am also awarding you task points for “Eat smthg”, “Feel taste” + wk3 Early/Combo + “Superpower”, “Transform” + wk2 combo
O my god guys, I’ve been having my most lucid dream so far, and I’ve had 4 FLD/LD’s this week I am so grateful you are doing these challenges here, I’ve never had so much fun + success with lucid dreaming. Much thanks to all of you!
I’m still very confused about the distiction between an FLD and an LD… Also I just re-read the LD4all description of FLD and realized I might have interpreted the term wrong all the time… I call something an FLD when in the dream I THINK I am lucid, but then when I wake up I realize it was just me dreaming I was having a lucid dream.
Anyhow, I thought it was most fair to devide my task points in LD/ND based on out of how much free wil and clear, lucid thinking about the challenge I completed the task.
GenghisKhan, these points are described in the 3 latest entries in my dream journal (covering 5 dreams in total): [Lucidity Challenge 56 - Winner: MearaDelia !)
LD points:
ND points:
I seem to be immune to smelling things in dreams
Meara, Wow, you are doing very well !
Congratulations on all those tasks while lucid !
Happy to hear the LC is providing the right motivation
Important: I have added you points for one Medium-length LD (please refer Scoring section of first post for further details)
You have to tell me: 1) if that sounds right, 2) if I should also add you points for achieving your Personal Goal (“Have a proper lucid dream”) and/or “First ever LD”, those are important score boosts
On my way to post Week 4 Tasks !
Welcome to Lucidity Challenge 56 - Week 4
Background
[spoiler]It’s 2 PM in dreamland-Chicago. The Dream Art Institute is long shut closed. A guy phases through the closed doors. He’s got a black bow on his back. It mus be LC56 host - how many sickos would walk around dressed like that ?
Genghis Khan starts speaking in a low voice to himself, pondering:
Week 4 - Immortal art
Visit a museum +10 pts (A place with several art pieces will do as well)
Meet a famous artist +20 pts (It can be a famous ancient painter / writer, but also a modern singer, or entirely made-up by you !)
Paint/draw/write smthg +20 pts
See a painting +10 pts
See a statue +10 pts
Sing +20 pts (Does your voice stays the same ?)
Play instrument +20 pts (Really existing instrument or invented ? Can you play it IWL ?)
Dance +20 pts
Take a photograph +20 pts
Read a book +20 pts
Non-lucid dream in which I eat the last bit of a Christmas cake.
I claim the points for:
I think this should count as ‘early’ for week three, as I did it last night.
The cake tasted exactly how I would exoect a Christmas cake to taste.
Another week with great tasks I’ve done everything except animating a statue before. I’m a lot better artist in my dreams.
These are great tasks for week 4 - thanks!
How much of the book do we need to read for the ‘read a book’ task? Will a few words/sentences do?
By the way: there’s some published research on the occurrence of smell/touch/taste in people’s dreams:
Prevalence of auditory, olfactory, and gustatory experiences in home dreams. Zadra, Nielsen and Donderi. Perceptual and Motor Skills, number 87, pages 819-826, 1998.
P.S. I think I have the olfactory equivalent of aphantasia — I can’t even imagine a smell that isn’t physically present.
^^ Wait, people can summon up/imagine smells that aren’t there too? Guess I shouldn’t be surprised…
Found an upside to my Aphantasia - in the lunch room, when other people are eating, I can describe the gory bits of horror films/shows or surgery, bodily functions, and they’re all grossed out, presumably because they are actually visualising it in detail. And I’m like, yeah, whatever, nom nom nom. (Silver linings and all that… nah I’d still rather be able to visualise.)
Anyway, I heard someone singing in one of these lucids here. So Hear something task + voice, since it was unaccompanied
EDIT - Singing and anything else relevant to week 4 was before I read the tasks, so don’t count any of that for this week.
