had a ND here where I see a gunfight. It is interesting how physical treats hits your body, the bullet actually didn’t hurt.
@GenghisKhan - Hmmm. Could just be a fake dream memory. As you’re not certain if you were in the train, and you’re not exactly hurting for points, I’ll ask you to try that one again.
@Pedro - It’s good that you didn’t feel pain, apparently some people do in dreams, which must be horrible. I normally don’t feel anything either - blame it on playing too many video games? 
Here is a medium-length lucid dream in which I became my dragon character, which again fulfills the task about changing skin color and growing a tail but now gains the lucid bonus for it. I also viewed several racing scenes in various video game fragments of the dream before becoming lucid, including Super Mario 64’s big penguin race and Sonic R, but none of them had ground or water vehicles as that task requires.
Lucid dream, (short duration, < 1 minute) in which I encounter a giant crab.
I claim the points for the lucid dream.
This possibly also counts for the “science fiction” sidetask. It made quite a good SF monster.
@Thorn - Well grats on the lucid dream, although I’m disappointed that you didn’t use that anger to breathe out some fire like a ‘proper’ dragon. 
@Susan_Y - Hmmmmmm. For the SF genre I’m looking for something a bit more ‘out there’ or other-worldly. If it was an alien crab or scientific experiment go wrong then sure.
Not much this morning… but a short LD and a task nonetheless!

@obsfusc8: Ok, I’ll have another try at the science fiction task. There’s enough SF- inspired nonsense in my dreams that it should be easy.
A short LD (LINK TO DJ) in which I manage to complete few tasks.
As described in the DJ, very poor recall and LD performances in these days.
I am very sleepy when I do WILD, HI quickly fades and I lose focus quickly.
Oh well, it will get better
-
Participate in a race including non motorized vehicles
-
including unusual vehicles
-
Watch a vehicle explode
-
Cause the explosion
-
Successfully activate a spy gadget
@Cornelia - Flying that vehicle at the end gets you the lucid bonus for week 1 too. (also on the scoreboard I put you down as doing the aerial stunt instead of piloting, but that’s fixed now) Second place is currently a tie! 
@Genghis - Heh Flintstone’s ‘car’ race - quality! Also love the idea of a snow car. Now I have a new goal to make a motorbike out of snow… 
New tasks tomorrow, 1pm GMT! Make sure you post any task completions before the deadline to get included in the end of week scores and earn the ‘early’ points.
Short LD (LINK TO DJ) in which I investigate an homicide.
I can claim points for the Detective side quest.

Week 4 : Playtime!
This week really is child’s play…
[spoiler]The supervillain volcano base seems to have an inexhaustible supply of hazmat-suit wearing flamethrower-waving enemies. While the other LC participants help to clear the way, you make a dash for the control room.
Inside all the screens display a countdown to the missile launch. There are just seconds left. 10…9…8… You quickly run to a computer terminal and start putting in the shutdown commands. 7…6…5… Damn why do computers never work right in dreams?! 4…3… You summon a giant STOP button and hit it. The countdown pauses at just 2 seconds to go. Phew.
At the other end of the control room is a high backed chair which slowly spins around. Lounging casually in the chair, stroking an extremely fluffy white cat, is Obfusc8. As the other LC participants enter the room to back you up, Obfusc8’s expression gradually grows more concerned.
“Er… it wasn’t me!”
The cat leaps to one side with a startled meow as Obfusc8 makes a dash for a back door you swear wasn’t there a moment ago. The lanky figure escapes through the doorway. As you chase him, the world seems to grow, your perspective now much closer to the ground. Looking down and around you see that all the LC participants have transformed into young children.
All around is the sound of children playing, running around on a large field outside a school.
A few paces in front of you is a young boy, probably 6-7 years old, in muddy jeans with rips in the knee and scruffy dark hair. Is that Obfusc8? The boy sticks his tongue out at you, shouts “Nyer!” then turns and runs off, soon lost in the screaming chaos of the playground…[/spoiler]

Here’s this morning’s dream. I played a game involving a ball (yay for the tasks going up during my WBTB times) and also flew in my car, giving me Week 2 task and combo points.
2NDs
On Monday I felt asleep in a bus for a few minutes and dreamt of a box fight.
I think it counts for “Getting into a fight” and for the side task “Actions”.
Tonight I dreamt I was playing a prank on a DC.
My Oncle was on a theater stage and I went underneath the stage and took a lot of screws out of the wooden floor…
Posted a ND fragment (LINK TO DJ) in which I play a Skyrim-GoT hybrid.
If that doesn’t count for the Fanatsy sub-task, I don’t know what else will ! 
Last night: only NDs again 
Still one task to claim
Task Talking to a kid: I was in my office and a kid came to me with a candy in her hands: “Is that from you?” I said yes but she could have it.
I also visited one appartment and was trying to have LDs on a sofa… Too bad came close to the bedroom task twice
@GenghisKhan - Well I’d prefer that the task be done ‘in person’ and have you actually exploring a fantasy setting or meeting mythical creatures, rather than playing a game, but I’ll let it pass.
@Koal44 - Aah yes the classic dreaming about trying to have LDs. Hopefully it means you’re close to lucidity! 
And I had the most disappointing LD this morning… le sigh…
