Ok… I have question about 3. When I read it, i imagine “melding” with a Dc, through touch or something, and taking on their form. But does that have to be it? I"m not sure if this counts or not, but I had a short LD that I took on my DG’s form (does that count as a DC?). Phoenix. It was around some underwater temple, in a type of squre pool. Instead of flying, I was flying (i guess you could say swimming, but it was actually flying) through under the water, exploring it.
There was also a smidgen of an LD later that I had something to do with D17… I don’t recall any of the details really other than I had asked about it, and I guess lost my Lucidity. The resulting affect of the conversation yielded me some kind of power to summon a massive pillar of green/yellow energy down from the sky that vaporized whatever targets it hit. I used it to eliminate some strange creatures that were climbing out of a lake.
This is the second time I’ve had an ld fragment that I’ve lost due to asking about D17. No completion yet.[/color]
I had a medium LD last night where I completed a task. I touched a DC, and while looking in a mirror this time, caused my hair to become like their hair, which was brown with lots of blond streaks as well. I came close to my personal goal, but only got two people, one of whom I could only feel their presence but not see them.
In the same dream as my LD, but before I became lucid, I rode a mattress. There is a lot more to the story, but there was a guy dressed up as a mattress (like a mattress store mascot thing) and we were boxing. I hit him and was sent flying back against a wall with him becoming an actual mattress all of a sudden and was pinned by the mattress. I was above the ground though, so I held on to the mattress and levitated for a few seconds, but then the mattress fell. I was able to levitate myself right before hitting the ground, and upon doing this and seeing my reflection in the mirror, I became lucid.
In a ND, I was in some videogame and I won against my opponent, so he nuked me, and I went flying from the explosion, having to grab onto something that was attached to the roof of a dome I was in. Thus, I rode a nuclear explosion and survived . After that, there was a big issue with hitting the save button, because if I didn’t, then I would fall to my death and not be able to recover. I ended up hitting it (the way it was positioned, it was a real challenge) and then let go of the thing and fell into a chasm (not sure how to describe) shirtless, and my goal was to put my shirt on before I died. I only partially succeeded before I almost hit the ground. I think the dream ended there, but I don’t remember.
I had a fragment (posted here) in which I had a Pokémon battle, which would fall under the “Anarchy” part of Task 2. I’d had many dreams since the start of that task that I suspect had battles, but this was the first time I recalled seeing a Pokémon belong to me and use a move without me telling it to do so.
I had four new rides in today’s dreams: a go kart, a bobsled, an elevator, and an airport escalator. I also was the reason one DC gave something to another DC: my father dropped a piece of paper, and I began running down the escalator to get the paper at the bottom; an airport employee saw me running after the paper and decided to pick it up and hand it back to my father. All of these events were in NDs.
Just posting to say the next task will be posted tomorrow at 4 EST. You can still claim early points for Task 5 until then.
@HeadInTheClouds: I’m not sure how flight alone would count as a competition (unless you were specifically competing with other DCs who could fly the highest or something like that.) Honeymoon is not a ride, no.
For the joining task, although you did make physical contact when you took some characteristics, the idea is still to join with them in some way. So while you met the wording in the description in a way, there was no actual “joining”.
One obvious idea that comes to mind would be to walk into a DC and take their form or pull a DC into yourself and take their characteristics. There are some more creative ways though…
@Lumessence: If there was an actual DC present that you “melded” with to take the form, then yes. Simply transforming into a DC is not enough.
I had a short LD this morning, which I posted here. I had several close calls with a Pokémon “Democracy” battle for Task 2 in NDs, but never managed it; one failed because the character I was directing to fight Pikachu was not a Pokémon.
Two long LDs fromt last night with increasingly missing DR. I regained lucidity in the second one.
In the second one I also “borrowed” the sonic screwdriver from the 10th Doctor to help the 11th with something. I also replaced a monster’s gun thing with a scrap of metal. I also joined a race in progress to see who could get somewhere the fastest (no longer remember destination).
As far as the competition goes, it wasn’t about flight. We were fighting each other, me versus the other two, trying to kill each other. We were using some odd form of telekinetic powers that would send each other flying, but the goal was to kill each other. We never finished because after a little while, I ended up becoming lucid and they turned into regular DCs.
I had a moment where I wondered if I were dreaming or not. (I’m pegging the “wondering if you’re dreaming” as going into a Lucid Moment category. Best way I could think of to sort it.)
@HeadInTheClouds: Alright, thanks for the clarification. I’ll count that competition.
@Rhewin: The taking and replacing task involves the criteria of being either a copy, an upgrade, or the opposite, so unfortunately your replacement doesn’t fit any of those descriptions though the effort was there.
Also, there’s no race points unless you’re in a vehicle. The joining task also excludes races. You’re still in the lead though.
EDIT: Gave you giving points instead.

Short ld, and task part 3!
I went in search of the cheshire cat, and to my surprise all it took was to step outside the building I was in. I called out “cheshire”, a couple times, before I saw a fat cat leap onto a small wagon infront of me. It had a big wide grin on it’s face, and shiney eyes of which color I couldn’t quite make out. It had the stripes, but it’s main color instead of being purple or green, or w/e color you wanted, it had a yellow base color. The stripes were darker, though I’m not sure what color they were.
I tried to speak to it, asking where I should go, but it simply grinned wider, and took off… To my surprise, I found another one right then, just like it, and asked it where I should go. It said it in some kind of riddle, or ryme, but it told me that it would tell me, only if I found a young girl with long hair, and swam down one of the strands of her hair… (?)… Anyway… I went off and tried it, just to see what would happen. But I couldn’t really do anything along those lines, as I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing… The other parts of the ld just consist of wandering about, looking at people. And once again, as I was discussing before, I couldn’t recognize any of the people I was seeing.[/color]
I had a short LD last night. I summoned two people, but failed to summon a third. One of the people was Adam Sandler, and when I asked him what I should do (I may have asked him where I should go, but I’m not sure how I phrased it), he told me his pants. So, I decided it was probably best to leave that room and went to ask the second DC where I should not go to, but I can’t remember the response.
I had a medium-length LD, posted here, in which I ask what I should do in the dream and get an answer from a DC, and then do the stated thing to the best of my ability.
