Lucidity Challenge 50—obfusc8 wins!

Non-lucid dream, in which I drive along a country road and then arrive at somewhere more built-up. I think this counts for the “Drive a motor vehicle” subtask.

CONGRATS! :cheer: :thumbs:

And obfusc8, your struggle with tasks is giving me hope to actually stay in the top 3! :plotting: I just need a few good lucid dreams each week. I want it to happen!

Last night I read a book in the library, and ate in a fancy restaurant in a long lucid dream (felt like an hour, a bit more perhaps). :content:

TEAM SNOW FOR WIN!!!
sorry i had no idea due to this is my 1st participation! again my apologies

the Creature

so i had this dream about this character talking to me last night…not exactly this one but i had a wish that i become someday something like this.
the dream wasn’t clear enough and didn’t have the chance to doubt my very dark and creepy surroundings.
so as this creature talked to me in a blurry way it started to beat me up and throwing me around…the feeling of falling down woke me up.

By the way, here is an image for my character and further proof that Letaali is made out of 100% pure awesomeness (thanks for your help, man!)

Coasty, congratulations on your success! I didn’t see a dream length marked, so I’ve scored it as a medium-length LD; please let me know if that is wrong. You can also post another personal goal that will be worth 25 points if you complete it lucidly.

obfusc8, you can earn the lucid bonus anytime, so don’t sweat it.

En’enra, congrats on the long lucid dream and all of the points with it—and on breaking the 300-point threshold and thus earning your wings in the LC’s silly story. It sounds like you had a lot of fun! I was surprised that you started your lucidity by mimicking my dream size-changing ability, as I remember that you did this back in LC 44 and said it hurt quite a lot due to the fable you emulated. That said, the fun’s not just in doing it, but in interacting with the dream on a larger or smaller scale. :smile: Anyway, keep kicking butt; you’re blowing away the competition!

Zaibatsu, consider it noted, and best of luck becoming one.

The scores are updated. A new week of tasks will be posted tomorrow!

I remember that, but I can’t find the exact entry. It was completely different though. Back then, it was like all of me was puffing up with air, and that hurt. This time it was like becoming the longcat (or rokurokubi, but from the waist), lacking a better explanation.

I incubated a ND where I drove a motor vehicle. Not to hard after driving all day yesterday :tongue:

"I had a ND where there was a contest to see who could make the best car. I had a team of workers and it we got right to work. When we finished the car we looked at the stopwatch and it said it took around 72 hours. The judges said we made the best car and we made it the fastest so we won. I drove the car around to show it off. "

^ Scored. Now do things in LDs!

En’enra, yeah, I read the exact dream in which it happened to make sure I wasn’t remembering it wrong. I guess the method’s as important as the results.

Welp… I would claim Quest points for riding a train in a dream… but it wasn’t lucid. :sad:

* Scipio will try again. :c

Drove an invisible motor vehicle and ate at a cool restaurant in a normal dream from this morning.

Short LD. Transformed into my character while lucid. Then didn’t so much ‘wander’, rather running through a city being attacked by dragons, whilst searching for my persistent DC (in character still) :dragon:

Not enough to catch En’enra or a ‘rain of tasks’, nor am I satisfied with the length of the lucid dream, but it’s a start. :tongue:

Thanks Thorn :smile:

So a quick Normal Dream i had last night that involved me Riding a Motorcycle (for enthusiasts: an orange/black KTM Duke) into Bumper Cars place at an Amusement park…i was pointing at some people and laughing until thsi FREAKING fly woke me up at 2:30 AM

Mew, I’ve come to the conclusion that Splatoon was designed to invade as many dreams as possible. It’s not just you.

obfusc8, I thought I was the only dragon you’d ever need! I feel cheated on! :tongue:

Zaibatsu, congrats on getting on the scoreboard!

The scores are updated. A new week of tasks will start in just over two hours!

Wait, Honey, let me explain… those were bad, evil dragons. They mean nothing to me. Nothing happened I swear! You know I would never knowingly dream about other dragons. You’re the only dragon for me, babe, believe me!

[size=67]cough lucid points missing on the scores? cough Please don’t kill me. :scared:[/size]

^ Well, tell me next time! I can fight evil. We’re already established that tarrasques are pushovers for me… in that I push them and then fall over dazed. :razz:

In any case, let’s look at the scores at the end of Week 1.1. En’enra (350)

  1. obfusc8 (265)
  2. Letaali (180)
  3. Siiw (140)
  4. Coasty (130)
  5. Mew151 (90)
  6. Susan_Y, Zaibatsu (70)
  7. Scipio Xaos (65)
  8. Koharo, Jer (40)
  9. James_UK2008 (30)
  10. drd (20)
  11. Eilatan, Lumessence (0)
    Our only non-scorers joined late in the week. That makes this an absolutely stellar first week, and on the often ill-fated location-based tasks too! I’m thrilled that people are doing so well and I look forward to this upcoming week.

The new week of tasks will be posted in about 40 minutes!

The “story” continues!

[spoiler]“Okay, everybody gather around! It’s time for our field trip!” exclaims Thorn. Once everybody is gathered, Thorn begins to mumble something that sounds incoherent yet articulated while having his hands, and a white flash suddenly overtakes the group. You close your eyes reflexively and open them to find everybody standing in a field. You can see a tall, snowcapped mountain in front of you, but you also hear waves. You turn around to see a beach and the ocean waves crashing against it. You notice a city, likely Elcedia, not far from here as you turn your head.

Thorn speaks up again. “Funny thing about dreamscapes… they just don’t seem to care about impossible climates. This place should make everybody happy. Anyway, we’re just outside Elcedia at a pretty popular vacation spot. Skiing in one direction, swimming in the other, and a nice picnic spot in the middle; what’s not to love?”

The same participant that interrupted last week interrupts again. “I heard a participant called you ‘hunky’ yesterday; do we get to see you in a swimsuit?” Thorn almost chokes on his own breath in shock before matter-of-factly speaking up again. "The mods are still watching over us. Are you trying to get this competition shut down?

“Back on topic… this is the last week of Leg 1 of our competition. Leg 1’s all about dreaming at specific locations, so hopefully everybody got some practice in. Push yourselves hard, not just to win the leg, but also because I remembered your votes for who wanted to go where, and I’m treating you all as if you’re two teams. The winning team will have say in what we do next.”[/spoiler]
Week 2: Contrasting Climates

Your votes determined what’s worth more points for you. Tasks matching your choice of location award the listed amount of points, while tasks for the setting you didn’t vote for award half of the listed amount. The team with the highest average Week 2 points per member will get to design a task for next week. Notice that this is different than in past LCs, where all subtasks influenced the team competition equally. Frankly, it doesn’t make sense to let the snow team win by doing all of the sun team’s tasks without penalty (or vice versa).

drd and Jer, neither of you gave me a team choice. Coin flips led me to put you both on the snow team.

Walk on a beach: Some LC participants likely live inland where there are no shores, so what may sound simple to you may be completely new to others. Hopefully those people enjoy it! 20 points

Participate in a beach or water sport: Play some beach volleyball, surf over the waves, kayak, race somebody while swimming, or do whatever you like. Just be sure to do it for the sport of it: simply ending up swimming by happenstance does not complete the task. 20 points* Play a beach sport (volleyball, frisbee, etc.): 10 points[list][]Do it with an LC participant or the host: 20 points
[/
:m][]Get involved in a water sport (surfing, kayaking, etc.): 10 points Do it with an LC participant or the host: 20 points
[/:m][/list:u]Build a sand structure or sculpture: If you didn’t finish this in the last LC, now’s the time! A realistic sandcastle is fine, but so is willing a large amount of sand to form an actual castle. 30 points Explore inside a sandcastle: 20 points

  • Sculpt an LC participant or the host from sand: 30 points[list][]Possess it or bring it to life: 20 points
    [/
    :m][/list:u]Turn into an aquatic creature: Don’t be one of those people that walks up to the water’s edge and only gets his/her feet wet. Dive in and truly make yourself at home! Remember to carry over key features of your character for an extra five points! 40 points

Available after earning 300 points:
Fly over a large body of water: As in Week 1, the goal isn’t to fly high above it. Swoop down, graze the surface, and watch the waves crash just below you. I’ll openly admit to just pushing my own lucid interests off on you guys for this task; I did this in a dream once with a lovely sunset over an ocean and was awestricken. 40 points

Walk around in the snow: Straightforward, right? For those of you that live in places without snow, this could be quite an experience! 20 points

Participate in a winter sport or snowball fight: Ice hockey, skiing, snowboarding, curling, and speed skating are some possibilities, but you’re free to be more creative. 20 points* Participate in an ice arena sport (ice hockey, curling, speed skating, etc.): 10 points[list][]Do it with an LC participant or the host: 20 points
[/
:m][]Participate in an outdoor sport (skiing, skeleton luge, etc.) or a snowball fight: 10 points Do it with an LC participant or the host: 20 points
[/:m][/list:u]Build a snow fort, igloo, or snow/ice sculpture: The same ideas apply as in the “build a sand structure or sculpture” task. Go nuts if you can! 30 points Explore your built fort or igloo: 20 points

  • Sculpt an LC participant or the host from snow/ice: 30 points[list][]Possess it or bring it to life: 20 points
    [/
    :m][/list:u]Turn into a creature associated with snow: Real creatures such as polar bears and penguins will do, but living snowmen, yetis, and other things are fine as well. Again, get those character points by keeping some features in your new form. 40 points

Available after earning 300 points:
Fly over a mountain: Feel that brisk mountain air as you pass over a beautiful, snowcapped mountain. If you have a need for speed, start at the top and swoop down to the bottom! 40 points

Go prove yourselves! Show me who can really get to this week’s and last week’s dream locations to win the leg, or focus hard on the location you voted for to give your team the opportunity to design a task next week!

New personal goal (matches the one in my profile): Visit my royal dream residence, The Palace! It is very decidedly and almost universally purple and has a nice garden and a lake.

Also, go team SUNLIGHT! MAY SOL AID US IN OUR QUEST

I had a short LD while taking a nap today.

Word spreads quickly, doesn’t it? What lc participant do i need to turn into an ice sculpture for spreading such silly rumors…

I shouldn’t have neglected to get on this morning… But last night I did have a dream that was sort of revolving around my old town, and how it had changed… I went exploring a bit, and visited what used to be an old church, which had become a restaurant (unfortunately i didn’t eat anything!), aswell as another place further down the road that what was once a rental store, had been refitted as a computer shop… Furthermore, I had traveled up to where I used to live to find that someone I knew (not someone i knew irl… actually, it was SUPPOSED to be my brother, but he wasn’t my brother irl, just in the dream…) was now living… He had his friends over, and the dream was random gibberish from there… None of this was lucid, however… Just normal dream of me exploring my old town.

Since i’m reporting this late, I’ll leave it up to you to decide if I’m eligible for points or not… But the dream did happen before task two was posted… I think…
