Something worth claiming. Long LD, no tasks.
Inadvertently did a task last night… had forgotten all about the meet-a-DC-more-than-once subtask: Long LD Met my persistent DC M (who I also spoke to while lucid on Monday).
One Medium LD.
No Tasks eventhough I could see a corridor, it wasn’t long enough to be a Task…
And here’s one more LD in the old DJ!

Week 3 - Pirates!
The last time we did pirates was so much fun I thought we should do it again.
Wear a pirate costume - 30 points
Drink some rum - 20 points
Yo ho ho, etc. Rum is a product of the Caribbean, the location of many piratical adventures.
Find a treasure map - 20 points
Visit a Caribbean island - 20 points
See a palm tree - 20 points
The easy way for a cartoonist to indicate “this is a desert island” is to throw in a palm tree. They grow anywhere from the Caribbean to Cornwall in the UK. Finding a palm tree anywhere will count for this task.
Be out in a storm - 20 points
This could be a storm at sea, or on the Caribbean island, or anywhere at all to claim the points.
Fire a cannon - 30 points
It doesn’t have to be in a sea battle; cannons can also be used for signalling, etc.
See the sea from a lookout - 30 points
Seeing the sea from anywhere high up counts for this task. It could be from the “crow’s nest” on a ship, or from a mountaintop on an island, or from a high cliff.
Sorry I haven’t posted a score sheet - I’ve been ill this week.
Claiming 2 LDs: One Short and One Medium.
I was in the middle of water and looked at a kind of ocean landscape, but nothing comparable to what you said so no Tasks for tonight… I really have to focus on doing tasks
Finally recalled some tasks.
Long LD in which I meet Cornelia, En’enra, Jer and Kiefer Sutherland and attempt several tasks, some of which were actual tasks and some that weren’t!
(Cornelia) - Visit a Caribbean island.
(En’enra) - See a palm tree. (Even though we were doing the ‘stare at the stars’ imaginary task, it was while standing at the tropical beach…)
(Jer) - Drink rum.
The highlight was Cornelia singing the ‘Sunny’ song to change the weather.
Last night I had a LD where I was sitting on the floor, in my bathroom drinking a bottle of rum… I even remember feeling very “dizzy” when I stood up and tried to walk around. heh.
Haha, It’s interesting that I had that dream the same night that Obfusc8 had his Long Lucid about me drinking rum with him. What a coincidence.
I am just not getting any tasks done this LC… but at least I helped obfusc8 out! (The “Sunny” song sounds hilariously awesome. ) And sorry I wasn’t more cooperative with the teleporting… it almost never works for me in dreams and I must have been afraid I’d wake you up. (Fun fact: my hair is kinda chestnut brown! In the sunlight, anyways.)

God I was on fire tonight! Claiming some LDs and tasks:
1 Medium and 1 Short LD.
Tasks:
- Look down a long corridor
- Subtask: The corridor is curved (well it was directly going left by the end, but I couldn t see the end.)
- Look out of a window into the blackness of space
- Wear an unusual hairstyle yourself
- See someone with an unusual hairstyle (well I looked at myself in the mirror so I have seen “someone”)
- Combo?
Completing one or more of a week’s tasks in the same dream as a task from a different week - 20 points
Failed:
See the sea from a lookout (went up to the lookout but forgot to look at the sea…)
Visit a futuristic bar (tried but failed)
Subtask: The corridor has doors, pillars or bulkheads at intervals. ( I thought windows did count too so I guess it s a fail right?)
Sorry for the delay in posting this week’s tasks - I’ll try to post them tomorrow.
Week 4 - Magic!
For this week, the tasks are magical/element manipulation.
I’m open to negotiation on what exactly the elements are: Paracelus in the European tradition had Fire, Air, Earth and Water; the Japanese “five greats” add The Void as a fifth element; the Chinese elements are Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood.
Transform into a creature associated with an element - 50 points
According to Paracelus, the creatures associated with the 4 elements were gnomes, undines (water nymph kind of thing), sylphs and salamanders. This later made its way into the AD&D Monster Manual…
You can only claim this task once: transforming into (e.g.) a gnome and then a salamander only gets you one lot of 50 points.
Air: Fly in the air - 30 points.
This one should be easy; most of you do it regularly.
Water: Swim in water - 30 points
Earth: Enter a cave or other underground space - 30 points
Another AD&D trope…
Fire: Set something on fire - 30 points
This could either be by means of magic, or some mundane means, such as a box of matches.
Smell something - 50 points
This doesn’t really fit the elements theme, but as a lot of people found this one difficult in the last LC I thought we’d give it another try,
This task will run for one week from today (Tuesday). This will be the last week of this LC.
One short LD to claim again
Didn’t work out that well and had only time to fly for a few seconds before waking up…
One Task: Flying
Edit: oh right I also did the Early Combo this week
A lucid task! OMG!
EDIT: Aaand I just read Task 4… So I’m claiming flying points.
Cornelia is a Pirate - Long Lucid Dream - Wore a Pirate Costume, Flew in the Air, Task 3 COMBO Task 4 EARLY

[/spoiler]
Had a Long LD in which I summoned James_uk2008 and did the elemental creature transformation task. I also flew and breathed fire by spitting and igniting vodka - didn’t really set anything else on fire though, so not sure if that counts for the fire task or not.
-Fly in the air.
(James_uk2008) - Transform into a creature associated with an element.
This is what I turned into (Ifrit, the Fire summon monster from the Final Fantasy series)
Don’t have a picture of what James_uk2008 became, but it looked friggin’ awesome!
Just a short lucid… nothing else… move along… move along…
