Sun - dj, morning rc, meditation

Quite a first night for me: had a dream with SF elements and dreamt of a house full of books. Unfortunately I left them all in the bookshelves… But I stumbled on a brand new copy of the Journal of Medical Anthropology!

Oh hey, points on the first day! I’m gonna switch up my format for this challenge since we have those awesome stickers! The claim section will break down the points in more detail.

General Points:

  • :sleeping_bed: reality check

Dystopian Escape:

  • :blue_book: dream a science fiction dream (Dystopian Fallout-like world)
  • :crown::crown::crown: actively use a piece of scifi technology (Voice controlled and secured doors)

My “Stats so Far” will also be updated in format. It’ll collapse the stickers to daily entries with no explanation, but will still link directly to the journal entry as well as the claiming post.

P.S.: Yes Obliverum, TNG is so good, I’m re-watching it ATM (which can definitely help with this challenge!). I love Patrick Stewart, I look forward to seeing him playing Picard again in the new series.

Second day was ok. I meditated and did WBTB, but dreams were fantasy instead of scifi :grrr:

I’m not sure if this is how the book task works, but you said I could either see the book, or experience the story inside the book? Well the latter happened as a made up LotR book was narrated to me in a dream. Not sure if that counts for the book task. Interesting story nonetheless. Would love to learn more about the Featherless Crow. DJ link

Edit: Took a nap, used a machine that took me to a game world, completely. So scifi dream and using scifi tech?

DJ entry

If I meditate it is normally before bed, same as my waking goal is related to evening TV watching, so will have to update that the day after.

yay, first lucid dream of the challenge! and so many great scifi dreams! and MORE BOOKS! :woo:

for this weeks scifi challenge, only scifi stories can be counted as books in the library if they are had from within, but your nap dream definitely counts. you may be ahead of the game a little with fantasy genre dreams… :wink: and i too find the Featherless Crow to be a curious figure!

obfusc8 those robots sound cute :smile: i sure could use some robot helpers in my shop.

the librarian is pleased

  • :sleeping_bed: reality check (actually did this twice :tongue: )

A Strange Metroid Level:

  • :medal_sports: find a superhero (“superhero power suits”; Samus has her Chozo powered armor)

Felt sick at night, couldn’t sleep after 2h, but took a nap. Nap was filled with horrible dreams. :grrr:

There was a scifi machine in one of the nightmares, but otherwise it wasn’t very scifi. Not sure if that counts for another book.

Nothing relevant for me last night. FA following a tentative WILD. But I’m being very diligent with meditation and daily goal…

[spoiler]Week 1
Sun: dj, morning rc, personal rc, sf dream, book, meditation, personal goal (7)
Mon: dj, morning rc, meditation, book, rc in a dream, short ld, personal goal (9)
Tue: dj, meditation, personal rc, personal goal (4)[/spoiler]

obfusc8: i just noticed you didn’t give yourself a special robot award :medal_sports: for finding one of the four scifi objects (which you get in addition to the scifi dream, but only once per object throughout the challenge)

PremiumOtter: consistency is key! keep up the journaling and recall and more points are sure to follow eventually :smile:

diligence points for Le Bateleur as well!

congrats on the LD Cornelia! you can claim science fiction dream once per night, just like seeing a book. the special active technology use challenge can only be done once. ill go make that clear in the points explanation! the librarian nods approvingly at another book to add to the shelf.

sorry about the nightmares Letaali. the librarian has judged that the scifi machine in your dream definitely counts, and has catalogued the book as scifi/horror.

the librarian would like to note that there are many Hugo-award-winning books in the scifi/horror genre, and while she certainly does not want to encourage nightmares, the library is more than happy to put them on the shelves.
