I’d like to change my character. I’ll think about it some more and update the description (and the pictures, if I manage to create them).
Transformation is really, really difficult for me. Even a simple one, like changing what I wear. I had the most luck with a changing my hairstyle, but that’s probably because I change it often irl.
So… here’s some surprise success for the first night of the LC! Not as much as Letaali, but still. I’m grouping any kind of “wondering if I were dreaming” under the category “Lucid Moments” even though they’re not actually lucid. If they were to continue under that level of thinking they would have led to lucidity and so the name I give them is as such.
Meaner than you dreaming me up to be the evilest dragon around that attacked you and made you kill your family? Meaner than shrinking me and putting me in a pillowcase prison? I HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN!
Non-lucid dream in which I’m in a battle scene in a modern city. It had something of the look of 1950’s sci-fi comic about it. (Also apocalyptic anime like Akira or Neon Genesis Evangelion … and in parts a bit like the Israeli war documentary Waltz with Bashir).
Does this count for the “Wander round a city” subtask? (Even though people were shooting at the time).
I bet Thorn totally wants to see Anna from Frozen replacing Asuka as a mecha pilot in Neon Genesis Evangelion, but I wasn’t Anna in this dream.
I’m wondering if this task is one of the ones deliberately picked to be difficult to do as Anna… a Disney-style corset could a bit uncomfortable after eating too much
@Susan_Y: You tell me if it counts as wandering through a city. From what I saw in your DJ, you didn’t so much “wander” as leave one building and run across the street. Was there actual movement through the city for the sake of moving around the city?
Short lucid dream during a nap. I was in a city, started hearing music and wanted to run. I noticed that running didn’t feel normal. I became lucid and kept running. I heard a woman laughing behind me. She had long blond hair and was running too. Dream faded.
En’enra, I’m sorry you had an unpleasant night. Try to look at the bright side, though. That “heavy” feeling you had? Try to apply it to a certain subtask for Week 1.
Letaali, yep, you’ve got the lucid bonus now.
The scores are updated. I’d like to point out that Letaali is leading the first leg with only one lucid dream by virtue of the tasks and bonuses he’s acquired. Focusing on the tasks is important!
CHALLENGER APPROACHES! (That may have been used already, but chat was talking about Smash Bros so oh well.)

Non-lucid dream in which I am almost lucid – I could partly remember the tasks. I wasn’t lucid enough for me to count it as a lucid dream. I wasn’t transformed as Anna (I could remember an appearance transformation was required, but couldn’t remember what). I visited a library, and read a book which had something about a competition (the LC, I think…) and an illustration of Thorn in a pilot’s suit.
I think this counts for “Find a library and read a book”.
Mew, truly, the sign of a bustling metropolis is a large parking garage.
obfusc8, yeah, most things are location-based for now. Location-based tasks are often people’s least favorite ones, so I’m getting them out of the way early. I see that you made it to a beach… you’re going to want to kill me when you finish reading this post.
Susan, I didn’t know I was famous enough to be in a book. I’m not arguing it, though.
The scores are updated, and it’s now time for some more story nonsense and a decision for all LC participants to make.
Pre-Week 2 Decision
[spoiler]You get a call on your cellphone as you wander around Elcedia. You answer the call and hear Thorn’s voice. “Hey, not to interrupt your fun, but I figured we’d explore the dreamscape around Elcedia once you’re comfortable in that new body of yours. It just became summer in reality for me, which means it just became winter on the other half of the globe… I’m thinking we can either go somewhere summer-like or winter-like. What do you think?”
You weren’t aware that Thorn had your cellphone number. You weren’t aware you even brought a cellphone into a dream world. You find yourself slightly confused.[/spoiler]
Next week will be a team week! Let me know in this topic if you’d prefer some fun in the sun or some cool snow. If you don’t post your decision before the Week 2 tasks are posted, I will assign you randomly.
