Lucidity Challenge 42—Winner: Wyvern!

Had a long LD last night with 6+ DEILDs. I lost count after 6. No subtasks completed. I wish I could remember everything :cry:

SPOILER - Click to view

This dream takes place at the Academy. For anyone who doesn’t know, the Academy is a school I go to where people train dream powers. It is a big mash up of every school I have ever been to, plus a little more. I usually don’t become lucid at the here, but this time I did. [ND] I was walking around looking for these little metal things. I came upon one of my high school teachers, and showed him everything I collected. I thought they were rare, but then he showed me a huge stack of them under the table.

I became lucid somewhere around there. I don’t really remember most of what I did, but I do remember trying to keep my lucidity, and not wake up for a long time. I think my brother may have become lost somewhere within the Academy. He is not a member, so that’s unusual. [/ND]

[LD]
I was sitting on some stairs with a girl, I think she was my brother’s girlfriend. We may have been talking about how to find my brother. There was a locked glass door behind us. I saw my dad walking up the stair to talk to us. He asked what we were doing, and we told him we were studying. We didn’t want him to know about the Academy. I unlocked the door that was behind us by turning the knob from the inside using pk.

After he was gone, I remembered the task that I planned out with Thorn, walked down the stairs and started calling for Thorn. It was dark outside. I Heard Thorn around the corner, and when I looked all I saw was darkness, and a glowing square. [/LD] It was changing colors between green, and purple It started getting closer to me. As I stared at it, this was all I could see. It turned out to be Thorn. Thorn came out into the yard, I could see scenery again, and he was still glowing. A purple orb shot out of Thorn into the sky, and he fell to the ground. This was an attack, something absorbed Thorn’s life.

I had several DEILDs. Each time I walked through a portal, and returned to the Academy. I remembered what happened to Thorn, and I remember I had to find some kind of white orb, or kill some boss in order to save him. I don’t remember anything I did.


One of the DEILDs, I was in an asian noodle shop. I was eating noodles out of a metal bowl with a fork, trying not to scratch the bottom. I remember checking out a girl in the shop. Not wanting any of the broth, I scooped up the noodles out of my bowl, and put them onto a plate. The man behind the counter put more noodles onto my plate as well. Another man sitting at the bar got up and sat next to me in order to talk to me. The I became lucid, and remembered to return to the Academy.
I got up from my chair getting ready to walk through the portal, and I was kind of disappointed about becoming lucid, because I wanted to finish my delicious noodles. I grabbed my plate, and shoved it into my mouth. It got stuck at first, but I remembered that I’m lucid, I can do anything, and swallowed it.

I think there is something bad going on at the Academy. Thorn is the second of my friends to be attacked here. I have also been attacked. Being attacked myself does not bother me at all, but but I do not like when it happens to my friends. This thing, whatever it is must be stopped. :grrr:

From chat:

drd, did I forget to mention I was preparing to sacrifice my mortal coil and let my life force become part of an all-powerful entity
I could’ve sworn I said that’d happen in the LC posts…

In any case, I’ve updated the scores.

Had 2 LDs this morning.
In the first one, I tried to turn myself into the desired Werewolf form for the LC. In the 2nd one, I was able to summon Thorn as per task 7.5 and almost turned myself into a Dragon for Task 7.

LD 1 was around 2-3 minutes long and LD 2 was around 5 minutes. (both medium for me)

^ Way to move up a place right at the end! To be clear, the only task points were for meeting the LC host…? It sounds like you aren’t claiming any of your transformations as complete. Sorry I was an uncooperative DC as well. :sad:

I’ve updated the scores. Tonight’s the last night; dream hard!

I gave up at some point or another, but don’t mind me - I’ll be back the next time. Probably.

Previously…

Today…
Welp, I did it! Here’s a long LD in which I grab something with my tail, Thorn. [size=9]More information available upon request… [/size]

Thorn - I didn’t feel as if the transformations were that complete or as visceral as they should’ve been hence why I didn’t wish to claim points for them.

Oleg, I don’t understand why would would give up. I really don’t. You did very well, especially considering your late start.

Scipio, I see your tiny text. :tongue: I had a lucid dream this morning that I shouldn’t post in detail either; I’ll trade you details later. It happens to the best of us. :smile:

The scores are updated, and this LC is now over. Only dreams had before this time will count. You can post those dreams until later tonight, at which point I will tally up any last-minute points and announce the winner.

Why? Because the challenge was about to end. The thrill of competition was gone (considering I was far too behind to catch up), and there was not much I could thrive off.

I still enjoyed it, of course. I’m just a bit competitive.

This was a couple of days ago. I’ll leave it up to Thorn to decide if this earns points.

^ A viking setting definitely has a draconic correlation, especially given a certain recent movie. :tongue: I’ll count that, and I’ve updated the scores with it.

Finally claimed and updated
-(Sphere task) Crumpled Freddy in a Short LD
-Found Thorn in a choppy FLD

^ I’ve updated the scores with these, but they unfortunately fall just short of getting you to the next place. Still, points are points!

/me was a dragon hatching from an egg last night in a short LD… does that count? XD

^ Well, I told the Travelers that participating in an event counted as viewing an event if they weren’t blind, so I suppose this counts. I’ve awarded you those points.

Long LD where I shot fire from hands (it actually worked this yime)

Medium LD where I talked with Ysim

^ Did you talk to Ysim in his draconic form, or was he just some guy? I will assume you did the task as written and have preemptively given you the points for it, but I do have to ask.

I’ve updated the scores and will likely formally announce the standings within an hour, as I don’t imagine anybody has things left to post.

Okay, let’s end it here! The final standings are…!

    Much to everybody’s surprise, Wyvern has won Lucidity Challenge 42! That said, many, many people did incredibly well in this LC, and I hope the competition stays fierce in the future and that the next LC is as much fun as people had with this one.

While I have talked with people and I believe I know who is hosting the next LC, I do need to post formally about it and go through the proper channels so that anybody declining hosting has one last chance to change his/her mind. ahem Wyvern, you have the right to host LC 43, split hosting duty among the participants directly below you in the rankings, decline hosting, or whatever you see fit for LC 43. If you decline, then I will present the same privilege to drd, and so on and so forth until a host is found.

As I said last week, I hope that something from the LC sticks with you throughout your future lucid dreams. We had people who practiced psychic powers at one time and gained immeasurable strength at another time. We had people who went to places as mundane as McDonald’s to explore their dreamscapes and also went to places as amazing as another planet. We had people who were microscopic in one dream and gargantuan beasts in another dream. While I am aware that the team structure is very unlikely to be used again in any future LCs, I look forward to the next host providing an equally amazing and varied experience.

Thanks to everybody who participated![/center]

First of all, I’d just like to say thanks for hosting the most awesome LC I’ve participated in yet. The teams were fun and I got to know more of the community better as a result. I hope future TMs could continue the system but I know that’s probably unlikely. In any case, the LC will always continue to evolve and change and that’s one of the things that are so great about it.
Unless you’re one of those lame people who can’t handle change. :tongue:

Also, congrats to drd, who caught me by surprise and did an awesome job. Really wasn’t expecting someone new to do that well.

Anyway, I won’t be hosting or participating in the next LC. I already hosted the last one, so I think someone else should be given the chance. I also need a break. Besides, I still have some awesome new ideas as a result of this LC to iron out. My goal appears to not be about winning the LC, but now I have to outdo Thorn as TM. :razz:

Congratulations Wyvern! :cool_laugh:
