Lucidity Challenge 54 Winner DTDownUnder!

Wow I m gonna claim points today! :happy: :tongue: :cool:

2 Longest Lucid dream evers at 1am and 6am both around 1hour! :lol: :lol:

I am also claiming points for the Monthly Quest and for my personal quest! :colgate:
I did also go to a campfire sing a song of Teri Pratchett I went in a french cafe I did drink a café there. THen I went to see a ballet with water lillies on stage!

Of course the dream did last for a long time so I haven t only done LC tasks!
But I can also remember that at some point I have seen the main Character from Mrs Doubtfire who I asked what day it was:
She answered me it was the first of April!

Here is the link for my DJ Link

PS: So of course I m not claiming points for anything above but I did at some points hear some sounds tonight as robots were invading our planet (a bit like walking dead style). So claiming points for this.

Claiming points for playing an outdoor sport game.

I played ultimate Frisbee (for those who don’t know, it is frisbee in team of 7 vs 7, and the rules are a bit like baseball, you do passes and get behind the lines.)

I also remember I was in France at some points but no points to claim…

@Cornelia, I think i m doing even worth than you. No LD since the first week…

Doing awful here without WILD :sad:

Too few LD through DILD alone, and those few are very short and I cannot manage to do anything :crying:

At least it is quite even like that with nobody else reaching 100 points :wink:
Imagine how alone you would have played with WILDs :content:

Don’t worry, next time you can go full power again and I m sure Obfusc8 will be a nice opponent for you!

A short LD here… I’m really hoping my lack of luciding skills recently is due to Senior-year-of-Undergraduate-degree stress… :razz:

Week 3 - Egypt

You hold up your painting to take a final look at it. “Not bad”, you think to yourself, “even if Picasso hated it,” You take it into a little art gallery on the Left Bank. After some haggling, you sell it for enough Francs to just about cover the cost of the expresso you had yesterday at a pavement café. Searching further inspiration, you wander the streets until you end up by the Palais du Louvre. Stepping inside, you find yourself in the Egyptology section. You marvel at the wonders of Ancient Egypt, and the sheer engineering aptitude shown by Napoleon’s armies in looting antiquities that were quite so large and difficult to transport.

A woman walks up to you. She is dark skinned, barefoot, and wearing a shift dress that is somewhat revealing by the standards of early twentieth century Paris. She offers you a drink in a golden cup. It is some kind of cocktail, with a flower it: a lotus flower; and heated wine. Looking around, you start to suspect that you are no longer in Paris…

This week’s tasks:

  • Sell an art work (e.g to a dealer, or to a collector) - 20 points
  • Wear historical costume from Ancient Egypt - 30 points.

The Ancient Egyptian civilization lasted a long time, with different clothing styles, and I will even allow Ancient Greek or Roman clothing (c.f. Greek Egypt; Mark Anthony and Cleopatra), There have been a number of movies set in Ancient Egypt, some of them not entirely historically accurate in costume; for this task, I’ll accept anything from movie versions of Ancient Egypt, e.g. Theda Bara in The Egyptian, Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra). There’s plenty of strange outfits for male characters too…

  • See a pyramid from the outside - 10 points
  • See a pyramid from the inside - 20 points
  • See an Egyptian God or Goddess (e.g. the dog-headed Anubis, the lion-headed Sekhmet, etc). - 30 points
  • See a lotus flower. (This task can be combined with Claude Monet’s water lilies from Week 2).
  • Sail on a barge on the river Nile - 30 points. (I’ll accept it as a task completion if your on a modern-day vessel as a tourist in present-day Egypt. I’ll also accept it as a task completion if your on some kind of river, but it isn’t clear whether it’s the Nile or not.)
  • See writing in Egyptian Hieroglyphs - 30 points.

Claiming points in a ND for

see a Pyramid (well it looked like a pyramid mixed into a cliff, so might not count)
enter a pyramid (I was inside, I think it counts here)

I m getting points but I m still not lucid…

Thanks for encouraging :content:
However, I am not sure I will be able to take part in next Lucid Challenges unfortunately, big changes are coming in my life for the next six months…

Anyways, claiming points for a Long LD yesterday (not posted in DJ yet), during which I fly, drive, walk in a LEGO exposition. No tasks completed…

I fell off the grid for a bit there. I have been out of town teaching abseiling and then on a hunting trip.
I had two lucids while I was away.
They where both medium length.
I completed - Make an art work in your dream. In the first LD (was completed in week two) and nothing in the second.

Another lucid this morning, medium length DILD, in which I get naked in a city park and fly over the trees, touching them

I thought about LC tasks, but didn’t manage to complete any

LINK TO DJ (added also previous lucid)

No points for me, as I’m hosting, but lucid dream in which I become lucid through an unusual (for me) reality check: I realize that I can still see even if I close my eyes.

Three Normal and two Lucids this morning :content:

Claiming points for two short LD, plus below tasks (performed during DILD / DEILD)

  • See the Eiffel Tower
  • Visit a French café
  • Have a drink in the café

Short LD this morning. No tasks, though I did have an intense dance-off with a few celebrities.

Claiming Points for a small LD:

I have done my Personal Quest.
I heard music but I don t remember if it was only the singer singing or really instruments in addition to the music.
I also have seen a lot of colors but I think I have claimed that already.

Dream Journal

Week 4 - Cezanne

After a few weeks in the big city, a trip out to the countryside comes as a peaceful change. A guy you’ld met at Picasso’s party had invited you out to visit; you reach into your pocket and pull out the note with his address. Soon, you are standing at the platform of a railway station. The locomotive pulls in; hissing steam, black coal smoke, gleaming brass fittings. All aboard! And you are away. Looking out the window, the outskirts of Paris soon give way to something more rural. The trees on the railway embankment flash past in a blur. And then, as the track goes around a bend, you see the slopes of Mount Saint-Victoire in the distance. Before long, you arrive at the station. A man is there to meet you: he is balding, but with a black bushy beard. His wife is also there: short dark hair, a dress with a high neckline. She is carrying a basket, filled wih apples, a baggette, a small bottle of wine. “I made a picnic for you.” He shakes your hand, then says “No time to waste; let’s go and walk up the mountain.”

This weeks tasks:

  • Ride on a train - 10 points
    – The train is a steam train - +10 points
    – See the view out of the train’s window - +10 points
  • Climb a large hill/small (not difficult) mountain - 20 points
    – See the view from the mountain - +10 points
  • Have a picnic outdoors - 20 points
  • have a drink (alcoholic or otherwise) at the picnic - +10 points
  • Eat some French cheese (anywhere) - 10 points
  • See the set up for a “still life” painting, either indoors on a table or outdoors on a picnic blanket. Typical objects (artfully arranged) might include fruit, flowers, a small plaster statuette… - 10 points

Actually I noticed that from my last lucid I can also claim the LD4ALL Monthly quest points ! (travel somewhere) :happy:

So many nice tasks, so few lucids :sad:

Here’s a short LD with no tasks accomplished.

Small LD to claim last night.

I don t remember much except I was swimming outdoor at some point (hard to tell whether it was a lake, an ocean or anything, I also forgot the exact description of the task as I went for a swim
