Science-fiction-ish, but the ship looked more like an ocean-going vessel than a space-ship, so maybe it doesn’t get me any points.
EDIT: I’ve just realised that the spatial layout of this dream is like the bit in Dante’s Inferno, or Virgil’s Aneid, where Charon ferries the dead over the river Acheron into Hades. I’ve descended one level down from the surface, and I’m on the shores of the river Acheron with the boat into Hades in front and to my left, and a vertical rock wall on my right.
I had a ND where I visited a space colony. The planet somewhat resembled the surface of the moon… most of it was a vast field of nothingness with the occasional crater. The soil on the ground looked like sand, except it was bright bright orange… We were here because the aliens wanted us to put on 3 theatrical shows for them. There was a couple of us humans prepping inside of a building that resembled my friends house. The aliens wanted us to present the plays in alphabetical order by title. Except the people who had the play that began with the letter “A” weren’t ready and didn’t know their lines. The aliens were not impressed…
This probably wasn’t the best time to ask… but I asked if I could see their spaceship… It was a flying snow plow … lol . I tried to go inside their ship but they got even more mad and tried to run me over… Then I woke up. 
Hopefully this ND counts for the “space colony/ship” task.
side note - I wouldn’t say I “spoke” to one of the aliens… I don’t remember really having a conversation. They just wanted us to put on a play and then tried to kill us with their snowplow spaceship,
Task 2 Team Tasks
Ok, I can’t stack spoilers in spoilers, so just consider anything in the spoilers to be story related. You can skip down for the team breakdown and tasks.
The Story
[spoiler]Over the course of several days, the LC participants wandered around this future world. It was hard to tell where they were exactly. It looked like they were on the moon as Earth, or a planet amazingly similar, occasionally rotated overhead. On the other hand, two or three other large satellites seemed to also be in orbit. They looked to be made of rock, but they were also covered in cities.
The sky was dark and full of stars, and yet there was plenty of air to breathe. What caused that? Was it some kind of force field? A magical barrier? Regardless, the team had found they could explore without much worry of dying in the vacuum of space.
The moon, if that’s really what it was, was much more barren than the other satellites. There were metal roads that covered miles over bright grey rock, and a few compounds dotted the endless plain of nothing. Still, there was plenty of open space.
Rhewin had told them to spend more time relaxing, but now on the third day, they needed to get a move on. They broke apart into groups, each headed to one of three opportunities, none of which were exactly clear on what they wanted.
[/spoiler]
The Cyborg Team[spoiler]
One of the groups makes their way to the compound nearest the TARDIS. The building is practical; it is a large dome with several entrances connecting to the grid of streets around it. A rough estimate makes it out to be almost as tall as some of the skyscrapers in New York back home. There don’t appear to be any windows, but there are plenty of cameras pointed to each entrance. Several communications towers rise up from the center of the dome.
As the group comes close to one entrance, the huge double doors slide open. Condensation releases from the inside, and a cool breeze flutters past the group.
The metal street beneath them begins to move, pulling them into the compound. The doors silently close behind them, the light shutting off.
Then, the sound of hydraulics approaches. It gets louder and faster. The members of the group prepare to defend themselves, but then the lights flicker on. To there surprise, nothing is in front of them, just a seemingly endless grey hallway.
“Hello,” a voice calmly says in monotone. Much to the group’s surprise, there was someone there. Or rather, something.
In front of them is a cat. Or rather, a half-cat-half-robot… thing. It’s brain, or where the brain should be, is a clear dome showing a series of circuits.
“So… ,” someone in the group says, “does anyone else see the cat? I mean, that’s a thing, right?”
The cat looks up with a cold stare. It doesn’t really seem to be capable of any other expression given all of the metal plates on either side of its face.
“No. I am a perfected… human.”
“No, I’m pretty sure you’re a cat.”
“I am using this animal as a means of speaking to you. You are… imperfect. You may not enter the facility yet. I have chosen to use the catborg as… humans find cats comforting.”
The cat attempts a smile that is far from comforting.
“Do not be afraid,” the cat continues, “we will save you from your… bodies. You will perfect you. And then you can perfect others. And then we will be perfect.”
“Right,” someone else says, “I’m out.”
A few people turn to leave, but the ground begins to move them down the hall. An invisible barrier prevents them from running too far.
“Don’t worry, this will only cause pain in your… body.”
A series of needles, saws, and God-knows-what spring out of the walls.
“Welcome to The Cyborg Armada. Happy upgrades.”[/spoiler]
The Smuggler Team
[spoiler]One of the groups has found themselves in the middle of nowhere. Like, seriously. There aren’t even those metal roads around. They made it here after following the instructions on the print out. That had lead them to a bar tucked away behind a warehouse several miles from the TARDIS. A sleazy old man then traded the print out for a map.
The map lead here. To a rock. Well, not just any rock. A big rock. Ok, clearly that old guy was just messing with them. Sighing, one of the team members leans against the rock, and the rock makes a loud clicking sound. Suddenly the side of the rock opens to reveal a rather scruffy looking man asleep at a desk. One of the team clears their throat, prompting the man to snap awake and shove a bunch of papers into a conveniently placed shredder next to the desk.
“Permits! I got permits for everything, I swear!” The man looks panicked for a second or two more before seeing the group has a map from the old man. “Oh. You’re here for the job.”
“I… guess,” someone says. “What is the job?”
“Oh, I just needed someone to retrieve something for a client. Bad news though, I already got another group on it.”
The team sighs dejectedly. Three days of hiking for nothing.
“But hey, if I hear anything else, I’ll te-”
A voice cuts in on the radio.
“Boss, group alpha is down. Blown to pieces by the Legion. Shame too, one of them was a looker. Anywho, I’m gonna need a few more suckers to pull this job off.”
“I’ll tell you what,” he says as if he was simply finishing his last sentence, “I do have some work for ya.”
He lazily moves from around the desk and hands out some tablets, each only a few inches wide.
“Here are your credentials, they’ll get you past any… eh… legal misunderstandings. Now, get out there. We got money to make.”[/spoiler]
The Space Knight Team
[spoiler]One of the groups headed to the Palace of the Space Knights. It wasn’t hard to find, there seemed to be signs for it every few feet. It was a bit strange, nothing else on this rock seemed to have any kind of advertising.
The Palace itself was grand, its crystal spires shining in the distant sun. Gold roofing shadowed silver carvings that ran down the length of the building. The princess castles found in Disney stories had nothing on this place. Oddly enough, a factory with a giant logo on the side sits right next to the Palace. It’s not much to look at, but hundreds of freight shuttles fly in and out of it by the minute.
A woman in red robes appears in front of the group. It’s hard to tell if she had been there the whole time or if she used some kind of ability to teleport. A laser sword hangs off of her belt.
“I can sense the potential,” she says, her voice soothing. “I can feel your potential burning so brightly.”
“Oh, thanks.”
“Oh, but you must train so you don’t burn out,” she says with worry. However, it sounds like she’s said this before. “Remember, the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long.”
“Isn’t that from Blade R-?”
“No.”
“… I thought this was supposed to be like the Jed-”
“Yes,” she sighs. “You are here because you were drawn to the Space Knights. You wish to uphold order and the old ways. We can train you, and you can be a shining beacon for the rest of the galaxy.”
“What’s with the warehouse?”
“Oh that,” she says without even looking. “That is how we fund our Order. You see, we are very popular, especially among children age 8-15 and unwed males age 35-50. We sell memorabilia to the public. As our former Grand Master Lucas would say, ‘the money is in merchandising.’”
“But enough of that,” she turns, leading them back to the Palace. “Come and learn the once ways.”
“Hey, that was totally from dragonhe-!”
“No.”[/spoiler]

Please read the team tasks in detail; they work slightly differently this time.
Cyborg Individual Tasks
Use cyber technology: I’ll loosely define cyber technology as any kind of tech that directly interacts with your body. It could be a laser turret built into your arm or nano bots that change your genetic makeup. +20pts
Hack other technology: one benefit of being part machine is controlling other machines. Control another piece of technology using either your mind or a direct link to your cybernetic parts. You must use either your mind or cyber tech. Something like just driving a car or using a computer doesn’t count. +30pts
Cyborg Team Task
Upgrade someone: you must spread the upgrades. Mankind must know what they are missing, whether they want to or not. Give someone else cyber technology as defined above. The other teams must not get in the way. Bonus points for upgrading someone from another team. +40/40pts
Smuggler Individual Tasks
Sell something to a DC: smugglers make their money selling things. Things that may have belonged to other people, but things anyway. Get a DC to buy something from you. If you don’t like the idea of selling hot items, just sell whatever. Please note, forum guidelines still apply if you sell things that can’t be posted on LD4all. Just PM me in that case. +20pts
Sneak into a building: smugglers have to be sneaky. For this task, sneak into some kind of building, warehouse, ship, whatever. If you’re seen, escape. Whatever you do, don’t get caught! +30pts
Smuggler Team Task
Take something from another team: smugglers always need to have an advantage. The other two teams have things that you need. Take something that you believe belongs to another team. Get bonus points for taking it directly from (or sneaking around) one of the other teams’ members. +40/40pts
Space Knight Individual Tasks
Move something with your mind: pretty straight forward, I believe. +20pts
Control a DC: bend a DC to your will. Ok, you don’t really have to enslave someone’s will if that really sounds wrong to you. I’ll accept giving a DC an order as long as they follow the order as you gave it. If they won’t do it or do it differently, it doesn’t count. +30pts
Space Knight Team Task
Laser sword duel: you totally knew that this was coming. Have a laser sword duel with someone else. Now, remember, Space Knights represent peace and order. The other two teams don’t, It’s up to you to maintain peace. Extra points for dueling someone from another team. +40/40pts
Team Advantages
The Magic team has decided to magically imprison someone or be imprisoned by someone.
The Science team has decided to unleash a zombie virus. As they did not specify what their teammate should do, the teammate must be patient zero.
Really long LD with some tasks.
The cyborgs kidnapped me and made me control a computer game with my mind.
Then Letaali upgraded my eye so I could see through walls. He didn’t want to be upgraded though.
Later I tried upgrading my boss, it didn’t really work.
Oh god! 
That dream version of me was too funny. Really uncool of me to decline the upgrade though.
Like I said in IRC, I knew I was probably gonna NLD that sneaking task… And… guess what? 
Back In Colombia ~ Non-Lucid Dream ~ Sneak into a Building EARLY
Stats so Far:
[spoiler]NLDs: 3
Short LDs: 2
Medium LDs: 1
Long LDs: 0
Task 1:-E White Magic | Explore a Castle | Exploration
Task 2:-E Sneak into a Building
[/spoiler]
In this ND, I ate some things that are certainly not normally food: candy wrappers and other garbage. 
I moved something with my mind and hacked other technology in a non-lucid dream. I was in space with a massive metallic robot head. The guy that had broken my robot and sent us both to space thought that I couldn’t breath in space and the robot could no longer fire it’s beam weapon. He was wrong. I moved the robot head to the red moon nearby that conveniently had a massive crater towards the planet. I flew away from the moon and controlled the robot head so that it would fire where I wanted. I saw a massive red beam hitting the planet. My vision zoomed to the planet and I saw that the weapon made liquids solid and solids liquid. Exposed lava turned to stone, stone to lava, people caught in the ray now were mostly frozen blood and water.
@Letaali Heh yeah I thought you’d be up for some cyborg upgrades. Oh well.
And while I’m on a roll (yes I’ve been obscenely lucid this weekend) -
2 Medium LDs.
In the second I completed my personal goal.
^ Welp, I’m out. I can’t keep up with you. 
I don’t mean I’m dropping out of the LC, but that I may as well aim for fun from here on out instead of maximum points because you’re just too good at this whole “getting lucid and controlling dreams” thing. 
Teach us your secrets! My dreams need cyborgs and flirtatious DCs too!
I do have a small amount of points to claim today, though. In this dream fragment, what started as seeing a small space colony in a video game as a DO changed to me being in the scene and walking around it, albeit briefly.
Whaaa? It’s only week 2 man, you have plenty of time to catch up!
As for secrets? Dunno what to say… just been reading the posts in this thread between sea-dove and Awe regarding OBEs/WILD and attempting WILD more often while keeping up the All Day Awareness practice.
And the increase in aliens, violence and sex in my dreams couldn’t possibly have coincided with the recent purchases of GTA V and Star Wars Imperial Assault. 
Anyway, the real reason for this post was to ask if my new goal could be to ‘Shrink to the size of an insect’. Ta Muchly.
^ So it’s ADA… got it… now to beat you at your own game! 
I was actually getting back into ADA a bit last night since I had four hours of near silence while proctoring a standardized test, but the most dream-like thing that happened this morning actually turned out to be real. I can relate to games seeping into dreams, too, as I’ve had more magic in my dreams than ever since getting back into Pathfinder (or D&D 3.75, if we really have to call it that).
That said, I’m not dejected or anything. It’s more that I really want to focus on the cyborg stuff even though my personal goal of hulking out (but hopefully not getting attacked by your old personal goal self) or doing the Monthly Quest would be worth more. Speaking of that, I’ll totally act against my own best interests and make a suggestion for you that’ll get you more points! Instead of making shrinking a 25-point secondary personal goal, why not set a different goal but get 75 points for appropriate shrinking in the Quest? I highly approve of any TF, even just changing size, so I felt the need to assist a fellow shapeshifter. I don’t know of any April Quest designs, either, so it seems like the current Quest will stick around for a bit and give you the time to do it. EDIT: Figures that somebody had a Quest idea and it became a published Quest in record time. Yay for foot-in-mouth syndrome! Ignore me; I’m unlucky.
Oh, right, I need to post about possible points and not just use this topic for conversation. I see that “hack other technology” does not allow simply driving a car or using a computer and needs to be done with my mind or cyber technology. If my dream self was making adjustments to my Sonic the Hedgehog 2 ROM hack without being at a computer (e.g., it was mental power alone), does that count, or does the hacking need to be more malicious? The relevant dream is posted here.
glad it helped you, wish it would help me right now.
This morning I made 3 attempts at WILD, I managed to get into the right state each time and got into a dream immediately on going to sleep, issue was the moment I did EVERY TIME, I completely lost my consciousness. (there isn’t a emoticon to express the degree of frustration I’m feeling over this right now).
sighs I don’t know how to fix this issue, its one I’ve never had, in the past as long as I can get into the right state and go to sleep while holding awareness, I’ve found myself straight a LD.
…
I’m wondering too right now how a shift in my thoughts is affecting my awareness. I used strongly think of life being a dream itself, cause of all the life crap and a back off of many of my spiritual beliefs, I cant currently feel like everything in life is. I’m wondering this big life perceptional shift is shifting my ability to become aware in my dreams (in past I could also have LDs other then by WILD).
I was considering the other day if I should take up playing alien games to help trigger off an alien dream even if non lucid, thing is I rarely dream about games I’ve played in the past.
I’m having more non lucid dreams but nothing at all to do with the challenges.
(Working desperately on my tulpa putting a lot of energy into him, hoping he’ll start screaming at me to “wake up” when I’m dreaming).
Is there an extra bonus for the person trying to hardest 
I just did WILD attempt 6 for today and plan to give it one or two more goes later today.
My attempt 6 more score me some points may get me some (OMG that sentence, Im still partly asleep starts slapping herself in the face trying to wake up a bit more)… I went into lucid dream state 3 times, crappy extremely short lucids but lucids all the same even if I did keep dropping out as I was in them not at all deeply (though I was loosing some awareness so low lucidity ones too)
[community.ld4all.com/t/sea-doves-lucid-dream-journal/40036/1) (is that also chaining when one drops out but then sends one back into another dream of choice? I’m still trying to get used to some of the terminologies here)
Finally are getting somewhere again if this wasn’t just luck today (the fact I managed to keep repeating this today, hopefully means I broken my WILD bad run and hopefully will be getting some stable WILDs soon).
I briefly became my cyborg avatar at the end of this ND. I’m almost disappointed, as I really, really wanted to do this task while lucid.
[community.ld4all.com/t/olegs-dream-journal-part-17/39488/64)
I visited a spaceship and became lucid for a moment. It was mostly all by accident, too.
…oh, and I dont know how I skipped this out, but apparently, the entire dream I was walking around in some sort of frilly princess costume, so… that.
I had a long length LD a few days ago.
Had an LD here this morning which at around 3-5 minutes long makes this a medium one for me. As per Task 2, I summoned Plo Koon and attempted to talk to him as per the speak to an alien task but didn’t get much in ways of a response.
Well cheers for the idea anyway. I always forget the monthly quest! 
From last night gonna claim my longest LD ever due to managing time dilation. I lost lucidity and regained it. During the lucid I moved the clock hands with my mind, and also sneaked into a building.
In an earlier dream I had multiple reality checks fail, if that’s still worth points?
Dream, in which a Buddhist monk tells me that the game I am playing is frivolous. He is possibly referring to the Lucidity Challenge, or maybe more generally to my entire human existence. I’m not counting this dream as a lucid, because although I’m semi-aware that I’m trying to do the challenge, I’m not properly lucid. No points scored, I think.
I also had another dream in which I encounter the smuggler team engaged in a operation that might contravene forum rules to describe. It was a bit like something out of Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash. No points scored, I think.
