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.
Medium lucid dream last night. I entered a building that the DC version of my wife didn’t want me to go in. It had broken windows and some kind of outdoors conveyor belt. I don’t remember much inside of the building, but I was being chased by a monster that looked like Amarant from Final Fantasy 9.
I had a resident evil dream
it may had been
a bit frightening, but not very
i didnt get lucid - wasn’t that scary
i didnt get married
i didn’t join
haven’t formed
any connectios
but i think i did ask for
and got some directions
I was running, but not racin’
tryin’ to escape
and the evil boss was chasin’
and they…
said, wherever i go -
the same foe
i would be facin’
i was on a second floor
in this house
i could go
up, i could go down
i know
now
i even…
could have stayed
but whichever way
i would go
same evil…
i had a decision to make
i think, what they said wasn’t the route i chosen to take
i had this evil to face
a meeting to attend
but then
my dream chose itself to end
