My Dream Journal

Ok obfusc8, I understood the thing of the beast, I haven’t noted that, thanks! relax, I’ve done this today too with the table :tongue:

Today, had 2 big and good ND’s, but only remember some fragments, everything is broken :sad: . Althought I recall a part where I watch an Roman/Greeks/things like that- war for about half minute. Only a few to describe so I’ll post here:

I am in a dark place, there is some DC friends with me. Then, I think about 30 DC’s appeared in my camp of vision, about 10 meters far. All they were using typical war things: one was a typical Roman soldier, a Praetorian (has a weapon and a big, rectangular shield), other had spears and swords, some had metal armors and helmets. All they were using clothes and weapons with red theme. Then, some blue guys with the same characteristics appeared to fight them. I observed the fight but not participied, and it lasted about 30 seconds. But I’m sure I didn’t have any weapon in my hands, so the task of an tradicional weapon is not complete, just the Historycal thing.

I mean, I’m not sure if you would count it because it’s not the entire dream of things relationed to Historycal/Western, only a part, my dreams usually changes direction fastly. If you think it’s is valid, I would like then to skip Horror and go to Musical theme.

@Koal44 - First, grats on the LD! :happy: I will count flying over the forest as exploring it albeit from the air, also changing your skin colour whilst viewing your face as a DO is fine. Singing for the side mission and also getting others to sing is musical enough for me, so you will be on to ‘Crime’

@Pedro - yep that counts. You only need to see part of the dream matching the theme, so seeing the Roman Praetorian is perfect. So you are on to Musical after using 1 skip.

Sorry I’m on the phone and cannot update the score sheet right now, but it will be updated first thing tomorrow, promise. :smile:

In one of this morning’s dreams, posted here, I was briefly some odd cross between a Yoshi and a velociraptor, giving me green skin and a tail in line with a task and subtask.

@Thorn - About time, slacker! :razz: (Translation for non-Brits: Nice one, mate… next time, with more lucid? :ok:)

A shiny new week of tasks will be posted tomorrow, 1pm GMT, so please post any task completions before that if you wish to see them included in the weekly totals.

Scores are updated

I also had a task… needs more lucid, as well. :razz: I piloted a spaceship… albeit I never had any intention of going to space… :razz:

Minecraft Space Travel - Non-Lucid Dream - Ride in a Flying Vehicle, Pilot the Vehicle EARLY

Stats so far:

[spoiler]NLDs: 1

Task 1:-E Ride in a Flying Vehicle, Pilot the Vehicle
[/spoiler]

You put my 20 point task in the wrong cell in the score sheet, slacker.~

I had a ND this morning. I recall a part where I am in some place having fun with my waking life friends, it was fun the dream because most information was true in reality. unfortunately all fragmented again :sad: .

At some moment, we were trying to recall a “beat” (not sure how to call it… those songs with no vocal, like eletronics but I think different… for example Turn Down for What), like trying to make it with the mouth :tongue: (ignore the weirdness). I think it counts to musical genre. Then I use another Skip and go to Action.

had a ND this morning where I was holding a laser saber and running to escape a girl and an older lady (but thanks to the dark side she was running super fast! :happy: ) with other laser sabers.

Does a laser saber count for a "traditional weapon? It is still a sword so… :tongue:

@Thorn - Just checking that you’re paying attention. :razz:

@Cornelia - Yaaay spaceships! Definitely exploring the world in style. :ok:

@Pedro - Yep, making weird musical noises is good enough for me. (And lol@ the Turn Down the What video :content: ) You’re on to the Action genre as requested. That is both of your SKIPs used now, you have 2x REPEAT and 2xJUMP remaining.

@Koal - Hahahahha, no, there is nothing ‘traditional’ about a lightsaber, but you get (imaginary) amusement points for attempting to claim it. :lol:

New tasks soon…

Week 2: Wizard Wheezes

the story continues…

[spoiler]Flying over the forest of this alien world you leave the battle between the invading tank-controlling humans and the defiant blue-skinned natives far behind. You spot the ship that brought you here in a clearing and fly down to find several familiar looking people.

Obfusc8 is gently patting the giant ship.
“The hole is gone, look, it vanished when you transformed. No one can see it.”
The ship makes a whining mechanical noise.
“Fine, fine, I promise our next destination will not have any hostile natives. No bows or arrows. Promise.”
Obfusc8 turns and regards you all standing around in the clearing. “Well, how was that eh? Did you have fun on Pandora? Anyway, we’d better get out of here while we can, hop in and let’s go.”

You climb aboard the space ship, through the main hatch this time rather than the cargo hold. After a rush of acceleration and a view of stars, you emerge in someplace entirely different…

The sky is dark and stormy. Lightning tears through the sky revealing a large old castle ahead, partially surrounded by a thick forest. Train tracks glitter below you, a metal path guiding the way.

Out of the darkness thick heavy branches loom and smash against the ship’s windshield, shattering it.

The ship tumbles out of the sky with a mechanical scream as Obfusc8 curses and tries to get it under control.
“Abandon Ship! Everyone out!”
You dive for the exit and manage to get clear of the ship before it crash lands in front of the castle.

An enormous tree is waving it’s branches madly at the ship, apparently in anger.
“It’s alright, I got this.” One contestant says, “I fought one of these last week…” :content: [/spoiler]

One question: Can I still claim points for Week 1 tasks I haven’t tackled yet ?

In this morning’s dream, I saw both myself and my “daughter” in the military uniforms from the Halo video game series.

Sorry I’m late, but can I join the challenge, please? I can’t stay away from such fun tasks. :content: :wiske:

@Cornelia - Oooo cool sword. Like the name too. :cool:

@GenghisKhan - All tasks are still worth the same points, it only effects the ‘early’ bonus, which you already earned. :smile:

@Thorn - President? Hehehe. My my… cool suits. You didn’t consider them mech suits/power armor?

@En’enra - Welcome to the challenge! I think you’ve lucked out here, as your starting point for the side mission is 5 ‘Fantasy’, perfect for this week’s tasks… :content:

Scores are updated

obfusc8, I actually did think it was that, but for some reason I didn’t think you’d count it. If that’s what you think works, then please do move it to that category instead! That, or if I could count my own as power armor and have seeing my “daughter” count for seeing somebody in a military uniform…? Do what you think is best.

Claiming points for the side mission: “Crime”

My friend Maite was hiding in a well with her Family from someone. Someone said: I m sure it s Jack! (He meant Jack the Ripper!).

Eventhough there was no crime I think hiding from Jack the Ripper counts for “Crime” right? :happy:

Incubating look pretty easy this week: 7 days => 7 Harry Potter movies
Nice Job Obfusc8! :tongue:

Two lucids this night ! Amazing ! :happy:
LINK TO DJ

I was very focused on LC tasks, so I can claim quite some points :cool:

  • Explore a castle

  • admire the view from the top of a castle tower

  • enter the great hall
    dungeons nope - I was almost there, but still…

  • Ride train

  • steam train

  • Transform into a different (human) person (on the 2nd lucid)

  • Turn into an anthro-animal / hybrid form
    ~ Potion as a transformation trigger: I think so - however I used it when changed into hybrid but not when changing to another human, so I leave it to obfusc8

  • Cast spell (I cast 2: orb light + day/night)

  • use wand (yes, for both)

  • See magical sweets

  • eat one and report the effect
    ~ make a dc eat one, yes, but not sure about the effect, as I was… er… busy

  • Receive a letter using an animal: yes, owl

Thanks obfusc8, I will keep in mind that week 1 tasks are still feasible !
As a side note, I am doing an awful job at the side quest
