A heads-up: It is very likely that I’ll be posting the first task today at deadline.
By the way, I will not be very quick for the points counting during the first week, though after that I’ll get to normal speed.

16 Scipio Xaos (1.5 minutes) [Practice Lucid Skills]
There are 5 skills I’d like to practice, and each would be considered a separate goal. They are: Conjuration (Creating things out of midair), Shifting (Also known as Transformation), Flying (Easy Peasy), Transmutation (Changing the properties of an existing object), and Time Dilation (Affecting Dream Time in relation to RL Time).
Was worried I wouldn’t catch the signups. And this is my first LC so I’m not quite sure how this is going to go down, but I’ll try.
Sign-ups are now closed. The first task awaits. But before that, there’s something I want to explain about the whole thing.
LC #30 will be a bit different from the previous few challenges. It will be a themed one, by which I mean that all seven tasks will be interrelated. For that reason, the first task I’m about to present to you right now is like a warm-up round.
1st Task : Time Travel
…however, not as in “Go fight the Waterloo with Napoleon!” or something like that. No doubt waging in wars, or discovering America or learning how to light a fire for the very first time in the history of humanity would be enjoyable. That is why it is OK to do any of those during this task, but what I want to award you for doing is something else entirely.
Basic Task(s)
Time travel (in any form) is still the most important of this task, so you’ll get +30 points for accomplishing it.
Alright-o, so this is what I actually want to do: Travelling back in your life while being the age you’re supposed to be at the time (e.g. you are 20 in 2011, and you go back to 2000 in a dream and be 9 years old) will get you +20 points.
Secondary Task(s)
Repeatable(s)
Each time frame you travel to will earn you +5 points.
You’ll get additional +10 points for travelling back or forward in your life with the shape you’re supposed to have at the time.
Reliving additional memories is +5 points each.
There’s this one thing about this task though, that you may not exactly really like. Between 10.June and 17.June would normally be the time period in which you’d be able to earn early points from this task.
However, specifically for this task, said time period will be the only duration in which you’ll be able to complete it.
This is due to the nature of the upcoming tasks. If you are really against this arrangement, then let me know about it and another way around this may be found.
The deadline is 17 June, 18 GMT.
Good luck!
baw if only this was sooner i had a time travel dream the other night ;.; would have gotten alot of bonus points as well xD
well task accepted lets see what life was like a long time ago!!
Two things bear asking. Does the memory have to be from waking life, or can you re-experience a prior ND or LD? Also, does one have to travel back to a time when he/she had a noticeably different body? For example, I first got started with lucid dreams in 2006 when I was 16 and some of my most simplistic yet memorable ones are from back then, but the only things that have changed on me physically between then and now are an extra five pounds and an extra inch in height, things that are pretty imperceptible in a dream. I’m not sure how I could show this to my subconscious or explain it in the topic if I succeed. If the answer to that second question is “yes”, that’s fine; it just wasn’t really stated.
I don’t think the themed tasks or strict deadlines will be a problem, as there’s always the monthly Quest and personal tasks that exist concurrently. I asked myself about a month ago how I would run a Lucid Challenge given the opportunity, and I ended up thinking of the same thing, relating the tasks to one another and consequently having deadlines on tasks. I think it’ll let you do more with the Challenge and perhaps get participants to develop a dreamscape for the series of tasks instead of a bunch of disconnected dreams.
Ah, enough time for me to come back and read task two once it arrives
So have fun and Ill drop in here in a few days (remember I am still in the challenge)
Sorry, the memory has to be from waking life. This is again because of the nature of the following tasks.
No, this is not necessary. However, to be able to get the 20 points for “being the age you’re supposed to be” part of the task, you need to have some sort of proof that you’re at that age.
For example, you could have with you a book you read while you were 16 that really affected you, which would signify your age in the dream. I hope this example made sense.
Enjoy your trip, Ghostie
Friday and Saturday night I was in the ER and since there’s a lot of action on weekends I barely slept. Yestarday I had a peaceful night, it was occasion to dream about a memory I wanted to change.
Here’s a link to my DJ: the dream in question is the 12/6/11
[community.ld4all.com/t/wegas-exploration-journal/35091/14)
It was really great, changing this memory, now when I’ll think of that moment I’ll have a happy version.
Tell me if I’m doing something wrong (not posting where I am supposed to)
Wow that sounds hard i have no idea how to start but will figure something out.
By the way should the memories be so that i relive them or just watch from a distance?
Wega: Congratulations on your LD, and a nice one too. I’m glad the task helped you achieve something you feel is good for you What you need to do is to also write the length of the LDs in your posts while informing me of them, so I can add the LD points to the amount you earn. I’ll calculate your score once you do that for this one.
Vinoth: You should be you in your memories, relive them, be there. Not anywhere outside of it. And here are some ideas: (A) Look at a calendar, and know that it is the day you want it to be. (B) Go through one of the huge wall-clocks and change the date. © Simply find a time machine and experiment with it. However, these are just as ideas, and using any of them will deprive you from your potential creativity points.
Hmm i will find my own method then. Thanks for the suggestions by the way.
gahh! I had a FLD
I come back from vacation and I find a task meant specifically for me XD. I actually had traveled in time in an ND, but I was unaware of the task so we’ll leave that be
Oh boy… I don’t like the sound of this. Now I gotta find a memory that I still have that I actually want to go back to… This’ll be hard. I’ll work on it though, gotta have my points. Won’t have the motivation for it though until I get something I like… and I just started stalking the rest of the forum outside of VG again, and the task ends Friday… Well, the problem isn’t getting the LDs. It’s the motivation for the task.
Anyway…
@ Puce: thanks, I’ll also write the lengths here. Two nights ago, 12min, medium one.
Last night I had a long one and a short one (45 and 3-4 min). I also tried to work on my personal task by defying some DCs to a flying contest but they didn’t respond.
Rhewin: Don’t worry at all, there are more to come.
ZRVera: I bet you won’t have an LD during this task. Now I dare you to prove me wrong
Wega: You get |30 (for medium LD) + 30 (for accomplishing a task while lucid) + 20 (early points) + 50 (for completing the basic tasks) + 10 (for the secondary task) = 140 points| for your LD with the task and |40 (for the long LD) + 20 (for the short LD) = 60 points| for your LDs last night.
I wonder, would we link to our DJ every time something significant occurs? If not, when would we do so?
I’ll prove you wrong then. I did have one (and I saw what you said after I had it). I’d say medium length, about ten minutes for the first part. (LDs aren’t too hard for me to have, you know… it’s just focusing and getting myself to do a task or goal IN them. )
[spoiler][LD]I ended up in my house again, so it was a good setting for the LC task… Apparently I was already lucid here, since I knew I was dreaming. Been having those kinds of dreams lately… My latest LDs haven’t had RCs, I just know I’m dreaming. I’d say it’s an improvement, but I need to still improve my focus when I do know I’m dreaming.
I thought abou what to do, and ended up going back to when I was 13, but not much changed. Then I decided to summon my older self to help out, thus meeting myself… Tried using my reflection… I could see I was younger, and there was another in the reflection that looked older. Couldn’t get her out though.
So, I walked around the corner and told myself she’d be there when I went back. She was, standing next to my mom. I gave her/me a hug. My main goal wasn’t accomplished though, as the purpose I brought her there for never happened, but we went to my room, and I don’t recall what happened there…[/LD] [ND]but somehow we ended up at this construction site.
We were told to go to someplace near the back of the area… it was supposed to be a trap,but we went anyway. At some point I think I lost my older self, and instead got back to the area I was supposed to be in. The workers pretty much ignored us, even though we were trying not be seen when we went by them. I hid in a space and pulled my violin case in front of me as all the employees started leaving, but someone who wasn’t working there found me.
There were some younger versions of people I work with now IWL, and some more people came to the area pretty soon. It now looked like a big room with various things in it, and I saw something that interested me. It looked like a toy, and it had a few half spheres that were a dusty pink color. When I touched them or moved them a bit, they played a note. So, I started improvising a piece. Not much, just a note at a time.
But a few times, I wanted to play a note that the sphere’s weren’t in the right position for, so the first time I pulled one up and replaced it in the spot it needed to be. But as I kept playing, touching the rest of the board even without the spheres made the notes as well, and I was able to play a lot more notes that way. After I was about done, I noticed a keyboard that was now there at the bottom of the toy-looking board. I thought about how I could have used that, but said that the other way was more fun. Then I proceeded to tell the others that I played violin a lot better.
We all left and went to some other places, presumably finding something for me to be recruited to for my violin playing. But several times throughout both parts of the dream I felt like I was starting to wake up, and I thought of how I wanted to stay in the dream and not wake up, and I’d get back in. Though once or twice near the end I did actually wake up a bit, but I went back in. Not sure how lucid I was after the gap though.[/ND][/spoiler]
I’m not too happy with it though… I’ll probably attempt both again to do better.
