In that time, I had medium length lucid dream where DEILD was involved, another medium length lucid dream, and two long lucid dreams. In the most recent lucid, I visited the astral plane and visited a fortune teller named Magnia. Unfortunately I forgot to bring an LC teammate with me. I did learn and experience a bunch of new things though. It was a great trip.
12 * 12 = 144. In remainder of those ~2 mins i failed to remember any other task. As well as I was unable to remember right after woke up and tried to deild… i gotta suspicion that im gonna deild soon :3
Okay, I’ve updated everybody’s scores. I intend to put Task 2 up in about 12 hours, so if you wake up from an amazing dream before then and want to get it counted for your team, be sure to make a quick post saying what you did even if you don’t get the entire dream posted.
-I have had 1 medium LD, 1 short LD and 1 lucid moment. No chaining.
I haven’t had access to LD4all in the past days and might have gotten some of the tasks wrong, but my mind has been very persistent with this and LC related things have seeped into more than half of my remembered dreams this week:
-I have calculated the date in 1 week while lucid. Not spoken to DCs about it
-I have calculated three multiplication problems while lucid, no help from DCs though
-I have communicated telepathically with a DC, while lucid. I couldn’t hear hos thoughts, so I don’t know if it counts.
-I have shapeshifted to an Elf, who is said to have telepathic power, while lucid.
-I have moved a car by using the power of thought to “animate” it, while lucid. This is very familiar to my dreams and should probably not count.
…I have also had several dreams about doing colour coded tasks, having my brain scanned, my thoughts being exposed to the public, calculating train tables, etc.
I haven’t managed to visit a fortune teller or the astral plane. I’ll try to copy the fractal eclipse.
I have explained to you in private how I wasn’t completely honest about my motives for signing up. You are of course free to remove me from the competition. Even if I signed up because I wanted so much to host, this has at least tripled my LD frequency, so maybe I can follow the tasks without being a potential winner/host? My computer time will still be limited, possibly up to 1.may.
Siiw, I’m not going to remove you from the competition just because you want to host. Most LC participants want to host the next LC. Fact. I had no plans to bring up our private talks in here and will not be judging you based on the contents of them, but since you’ve brought them up, I remember that some of it related to favoritism toward certain people. Removing you or limiting your ability to host would be favoring others, and I would never do that.
I can’t count your points for telepathy, as the subtask specifically asked for hearing the thoughts of others. I will also not count the “animation” per your request. Everything else is fine.
With Task 2 about to go up, I feel that I should provide a list of scores for anybody who can’t see the scoreboard. If you need the scores in text like this, please tell me, and I will make it in future weeks. If not, then I will let the scoreboard do the talking.1. Lucidis (605)

The Action team averaged 2.67 Task 1 subtasks per member and will get a bonus subtask in the next post. The Traveler team averaged 1.75 and the Shapeshifter team managed 0.33.
I’ll put up Task 2 shortly! Congratulations to everybody who has scored so far!
You worked your brain last week; now you’ll work your body. Strength is theoretically unlimited in dreams, but can you break your mental schema of what your own limitations are?* Perform an exercise: 20 points
Smash something sturdy with pure strength: 20 points
Lift/move something heavy that is anchored to the ground, e.g., a tree or a building, via physical contact: 40 points
(Bonus for winning Task 1) Try to stay inbounds! Compete in something won by moving an opponent out of bounds (e.g., tug-of-war or sumo wrestling): 40 points
View or compete in a sporting event based on strength (boxing, wrestling, sumo wrestling, etc.): 40 points
Grow visible muscles throughout your entire body (i.e., not just in one or two body parts) or transform into a strong creature: 30 points
Sci-fi films, horror movies, and even Major League Baseball teach that the fastest way to gain strength or supernatural powers is an injection (sanity not guaranteed in the former two settings). Use an injection to initiate a transformation for any other subtask in this LC: 10 points
Not counting Team Dreams and not counting the bonus for the Action team, which was up for anybody to grab and doesn’t factor into my calculation, there are now 340 total task points for the Action team and 320 for the other teams. One of the teams will catch up to the Action team next week, and remember that by Task 6, everybody will be even in terms of available points.
Lastly, here are the Team Dream requirements for the week.* Action: Decide on something heavy and anchored to the ground to lift/move with a teammate or decide on a sport to compete in that is won or lost based on staying inbounds.
Traveler: Decide on a strength-based sporting event to view with a teammate.
Shapeshifter: Decide whether you’ll grow muscles via injection or transform into a stronger creature with a teammate. If the latter, specify what creature and remember that you cannot use this creature for points for any other task.
The winning team this week will have the highest-scoring subtask from an opposing team next week (which will be worth 40 points) also count as its own, effectively avoiding the half-credit stipulation for that task. Remember, only subtasks and Team Dreams from this week will count for this; going back to Task 1 is fine for individual points but will not help the team. As always, best of luck to everybody!
Had a ld this morning that lasted about 5 minutes.
I was at my church in my hometown, it was night. Then I questioned if i was dreaming, and became lucid. I grabbed a signpost out of the ground and started hitting cars on the road like baseballs, they went flying. Walking down the sidewalk looking for stuff to smash, I started saying "turn the lights on!' to make the sun come out, and after a few times it finally worked. Not thinking the object I grabbed was big enough, I ripped a streetlight out of the ground, and tried to hit more cars, but it was took big. I grabbed the signpost again and hit a couple people. Next I walked into a building, picked up three people using pk and then threw them. I then broke a window and went back outside. I found a dumpster and picked it up and threw it using pk. I heard someone say "you dont have much time left, the sun is out", I knew this was referring to the real world. 30 seconds later I woke up.
^ It sounds like you had fun. Congrats on getting part of the task done on the first night and for getting points from the previous task! I’ve updated the scores, and you’ve moved up to fourth place.
A question was raised last night about the Traveler subtask. If you participate in the event in question, you will still earn points unless you were somehow so blinded that you couldn’t view what was going on around you. I do stand by using the word “event”, though, so wrestling with a random DC will not be enough. I also made slight edits to the wording of two other subtasks; any sport won or lost based on going out of bounds will work for the Action team’s bonus subtask, and I clarified “throughout your entire body” for the Shapeshifter team’s first subtask.
Finally, the Shapeshifter team has settled on using another Pokémon for their Team Dream this week. You’ll earn Shapeshifter Team Dream credit for becoming a Machamp alongside a Shapeshifter team member. It’s worth 30 points if you’re on the team and 15 points if you’re not, and will of course get credit for the “strong creature” subtask as well.
^ It sounds like you had fun too. I expect that everybody will have fun with this, honestly, and I look forward to reading the dream journal entries. The scores are updated, and you’ve moved from sixth place to fifth place.
[color=#F781F3]I had a short ld where I looked around for something to pick up, and was near train tracks. I picked up the railroad block tower thing out of the ground (wow, it weighed as much as a foam bat, it seems. But then again, i have thrown a frozen sun across the galaxy!)
A train was coming down the tracks, so I swung it at the train. I don’t remember what happened to the train though… I think it just disappeared… There was a helicopter that came after me shortly after, in which I hit with it like a baseball… what are those train… stop… blocker things called… where the arm comes down to block the road.
I also asked someone to tell me where mordor was, and they just said “it’s north of here” but i didn’t go looking for it, because for some reason i felt like it didn’t exist… I should have looked though… does that still count as attempting?
Also… for some reason I had twin tails, like i do in my avatar…[/color]
Loah, I’m unsure from your post if you’re claiming points for smashing something sturdy with pure strength, so I haven’t marked those points unless you clarify. Your personal goal also says “simply walk into mordor!” rather than to ask where it is, so it doesn’t sound like you’ve done it; again, tell me if I’m wrong. I’ve updated the scores, and you’ve moved up to 7th place.
Had a long LD last night where I picked up a boulder and smashed a tree. Actually misremembered the picking up something heavy subtask and forgot it had to be anchored, but I did manage to smash something at least!
[color=#F781F3]I want to claim points for smashing a sturdy object. i just wasn’t sure if when you said “smash a sturdy object with pure strength” meant to include the use of something else. more so just your fist, or something… and i won’t claim points for attempting, since i didn’t actually try to walk in. I usually can’t really tell if somelthing qualifies for points or not unless they are straight forward. grey areas kind of confuse me, so maybe i was posting with the idea that you would decide that.
oh! maybe i misunderstood. i thought we got points for attempting our personal goal, but i’m not sure anymore. either way, i didn’t really attempt it anyway [/color]
^ My original intent was to make it so you had to use just your body to do the smashing, but such a large number of people have interpreted it as using another object that I’m basically stuck letting that count. The requirement I’ll make in that case is that the assisting object should require incredible strength to wield. A baseball bat would not count, but the things done so far, such as ripping a streetlight out of the ground or hurling a boulder, do count. I’ve added in those points for you.
Four people on the Action team want to do a tug-of-war for their Team Dream, one has said that he is indifferent to all Team Dreams (which is fine!), and one didn’t make any comment at all. Given that, the Action Team Dream will be having a tug-of-war with an Action team member. Likewise, the Travelers has three people interested in viewing and/or participating in a mixed martial arts event and five people without comment, so I’ll set being present at a mixed martial arts event (not just fighting a random person on the street!) with a Traveler team member as the Traveler Team Dream. The Shapeshifter Team Dream was already set as becoming a Machamp, a particularly strong Pokémon, with a Shapeshifter team member.
Remember, each of these is worth 30 points if you’re on the corresponding team and 15 if you’re not. You’ll also get points for the subtask they each address, so they’re worth a fair bit!
^ Definitely talk to another team member or to me if you want information from there. I wasn’t requiring anybody to use the online documents to set up Team Dreams, but was just providing them because they were convenient for many. I’m sure that your team members would have no problem relaying some information for you, and I’m happy to do so as well.
I’ve updated the scores, and that just sent you from sixth place to fifth. Even if it wasn’t lucid, it meant something!
Let’s hope things keep up.
