Long-Term Lucid Tasklist!

A couple lucid dreams this morning, one of which was definitely medium-long. No tasks, though… I felt like I did a task in the first dream… but I don’t recall what task I thought I did… and in both of the dreams, I feel like I did some task adjacent things… but I’m not gonna count unless I feel like I actually did the task. :stuck_out_tongue:

Some examples of just how varied my dream avatar can be, both physically and in thought/perspective. They were all ‘lucid’, but the one task I’d like to claim is exploring a river in the final dream. It was quite long, easily 5 mins.

@Cornelia_Xaos really love that portal- tearing thing, that sounds awesome!

@Surrealistic, I’ll put you down for Exploring a River and a Long Lucid Dream. If that’s not right, please let me know!

I have a couple lucids from the weekend myself (Saturday and Sunday). Just two short ones, though. No tasks.

For reference, the task board can be found here.

I followed an online guide that told me to Go Towards The Light and it led me to a very long lucid dream! I want 4 points for length please. Might be 5 but hard to judge, and since I’m not absolutely sure I’ll go with 4 instead, which I can say with confidence.

I have the very strong feeling that I did a task, but looking at the list of available tasks, nothing triggers any memory. So no task points this time. Unless shoveling a little bit of dirt with my own hands counts as earth bending :tongue: But I guess not.

I also would like to add a new task idea: Dream Horticulture
Plant some seeds and see what grows from them. Could be in the time category I guess, because without fast forward or jumping in time, it may not work. But who knows what dream seeds can accomplish.

I would love to try some dream horticulture! :deciduous_tree:

Last night I was really sure this was copying @Cornelia_Xaos portal opening technique, but seems it was a little bit different! Really short dream ~1min and the portal task again. https://community.ld4all.com/t/surrealistic-dreams/75585/21?u=surrealistic

Congratulations, @Marvin and @Surrealistic ! I shall log your points immediately… and I will also make note of “Dream Horticulture” as a task… not sure what category to put it under… Time doesn’t make the most sense to me. :stuck_out_tongue:

I have a question. The LTLT will continue next year, I mean that’s the point of the Long Term part in it, right? The amount of tasks you have stored up in the backlog certainly permit it.

Then do you plan to reset the board? I think having year-long periods for intermediate results is a good thing because it makes joining for newcomers easier. And then keep a second eternal board that tracks progress from the very start. Or only the eternal board? What are your plans?

@Marvin , yes! The LTLT will hopefully continue indefinitely… so please supply any task ideas you might have! I want to build up a huge backlog of everything and anything that might be fun… even if it’s mundane… like having ice cream or cake! (The food category exists for a reason. :stuck_out_tongue: )

I was considering having yearly “sub-boards” with a total score at the top. I don’t plan to have multiple pages… that would be too difficult to manage… especially since past tasks can still count… I have been making the “checkmarks” as links to dream journal entries, so you can easily find when you did tasks…

The most I was going to do was maybe have a divider with a subscore for a year at appropriate points… but that would also complicate things… Or… well… I’d have to “reprogram” the scoreboard. :stuck_out_tongue: It’s currently set up to where it’s very easy to add new tasks… provided there’s no “grouping” for those beyond “here’s lucid points and here’s task points”.

Early on, I had considered “sub pages” for each participant with more details that would be reflected on the main page… but that seems quite… difficult… to accomplish. The most I might do is have “hidden” values… where the number of lucids you have might be saved “per year”… I.e. the function will be something like =5+0 where the first number is 2021, the second number is 2022… etc.

I’m not super sure what I’ll do yet… I don’t want it to be too complicated… even if we don’t have a ton of activity right now… a spreadsheet isn’t the best way to track this data past a certain point. :stuck_out_tongue: Maybe I should commission @Mew151 to make a dedicated website similar to what she did with @Tggtt for one of their LCs. Something where more detailed stats could be stored over time. :slightly_smiling_face:

I will say this, and give some heads up since you asked, the frequency of tasks will probably drop to one new task per month, released on the 1st. This is mainly because we have so many tasks now, with less than half of them actually having one completion by anyone. I feel like the slower pace might be nicer (though I intend to keep the every two weeks up until the end of the year). If that doesn’t sound like a good idea (to anyone here!) let me know. Otherwise, don’t expect a task on December 31st… it’ll come on the 1st of 2022. :slight_smile:

(Did that cover anything? If I missed anything, please mention it!)

EDIT / PS: If I didn’t have so much going on, I’d probably try and make a nice, dedicated website for it over the break… alas… too many things. :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t think it had to be very complicated or automated. Just a snapshot of the tally at the end of the year would be fine. I thought of another advantage to do yearly scores. You can also see your personal long term performance developing by comparing year by year.


Releasing new tasks on a monthly frequency is totally fine by me. I don’t think I’ll run out of things to do in lucid dreams :laughing:

I was thinking of “Read a book“ kind of tasks the other day. The idea came when I thought about the concept of the gardening task. The essence of those tasks is to perform some action and see what the result is like, because anything is possible. Maybe that is its own task category? Overlaps pretty strongly with the portal category or things like “look into the mirror“.

Hmm… yea… I suppose I could add a “Snapshots” tab… where I list your total score at the end of each year (lucid counts and task completions)… I dunno… though… would the results be cumulative? Or would each year just be “number this year”? I’m sure I could figure something out.

2021-11-19T06:00:00Z: Lava Bath

Objective: Take a swim in some very, very hot rock.

Here we go with another “Danger!” task! For this one, you’ll need to step into, wade around, and maybe swim in some molten rock. To be clear, any molten rock will count, whether it’s natural or man-made. (Think a big crucible of molten metal.) As long as it’s absurdly hot and you dip yourself in, it’ll count. (This isn’t to say, you have to be unprotected… maybe you’re wearing a suit or something… but I choose to just dive right in. :stuck_out_tongue: )

I had two short lucid dreams this morning, Accelerate! and 你骗我!. The first one was about a minute maybe and the second one borders on two minutes. I have 1 point for length for that. And in the second dream I had pizza!

During and after the dream I also imagined some new task ideas. Feel free to take any of them over to the backlog if they appeal to you:

  • Take an elevator somewhere (part of the “random outcome” category I talked about last time)
  • Ride a motor bike (“Danger” maybe?)
  • Revisit a place from another dream (“Dreamscape”)
  • Shrink/grow yourself ("Shapeshifting)
  • Visit a giant’s/tiny world (“Dreamscape”)
  • Eat pastry! (“Food”)
  • Speak in dialoect (“DC interaction”?)

There were some more interesting ones but I forgot :sweat_smile:

Congrats, @Marvin! I’ll log your points immediately… and I’ll add most all of those tasks to the backlog! Congrats on the second slice of pizza! :pizza:

Good job, @JohnnyReklaw! I’ll log your points immediately!

Had a long lucid dream in which I did the instrument task again, although I kind of bailed on the animated world task and I’m also not too proud of what happened :disappointed:

I had a short lucid, yesterday… not the best one in a while… but the first in over a week… so that was nice. Hopefully I can pick things up again. :slight_smile:

Another short lucid from me. While I’m glad to be lucid again after the week without them, I would like to have some longer ones and maybe do a task or two. Still… even these short moments are nice and somewhat satisfying.

Yet another short lucid. It might have been medium-short… will just go with short since I think it might have been just shy of two minutes. I managed to do the Firebending task… not super satisfied with it… but it’s a start! Gonna give it another shot the next time I can. :slight_smile:
