FYI, my journal location has changed since I signed up. Its now:
ld4all.com/forum/viewtopic.p … &start=150
The space added by the forum to links broke the link. If you just paste [code]https://community.ld4all.com/t/chasing-the-horizon/40063/1]
Then it should work to the newest post.
Edit: The forum still added the space despite it being in a code tag 
Also Xander, Obfusc8 didn’t use the url tag, but you did and used two different urls. The forum adds a space after 50 characters in a url. This url without the space will take you to the newest post in his DJ:
[code]https://community.ld4all.com/t/chasing-the-horizon/40063/1]
I’m not sure why we have to make a discussion about this, but obfusc8 did actually use two different links in his post 
Try to quote obfusc8’s post.
Geez. Sorry alright? 
Didn’t realise posting hastily written url tags was a hanging offence, guv 
It’s a bit silly, huh? Makes me grin 
Sorry, I accidentally quoted Letaali in checking and not Obfusc8 
Oh geez, that veered off track quickly. More importantly, I’m pretty sure obfusc8 admitted to being a wolf in there. Clearly we all know who to vote for, now!
That gives me an idea for a task later on. Or maybe it doesn’t. Who knows? 
Official business items:
-James’s DJ link updated.
-Eilatan, please post a personal goal to sign up 
-At the moment, I intend to post tasks on Wednesdays around 18:30 EDT (my local time). This would be around 22:30 GMT. This is the time that works best for me, however, IF this doesn’t work for enough people, I can post around 14:00 EDT (18:00 GMT). I’m hesitant to commit to the earlier time, as it would be on my lunch break and I’m unlikely to have scores tallied at that time. Plus, I’d obviously have limited time get the post ready. Either way, let me know what works better for you guys, and I’ll plan accordingly.
Well 22:30GMT is actually 23:30pm for me as we’re on British Summer Time, so for people in Europe that would be 00.30am. I’d prefer earlier, as I’d normally be in bed before that. Whatever is easiest for you though.
I’d like to change my goal to something that matches my lucid goals of persistence. So how about… ‘creating a totem item’ like in Inception, and getting that to recur/show up consistently in my dreams. Now I’m not quite sure what the item will be yet but it will likely be a small item model or figurine. If that’s too vague then stick with the Japanese conversation goal.
And me, a big bad wolf? Nah, more like this… 
I’m ok with that later time. I’ll see the new task in the morning after it’s been up a few hours.
…Name…Dream Journal…Personal Goal
- Tggtt…DJ…Revisit a Volcanic Island
- James_UK2008…DJ…Shapeshift
- Obfusc8…DJ…Have a conversation in Japanese.
- Quicksilver21…DJ…Slay a dragon
- En’enra…DJ…Have a dream guide appear for the first time
- CaptainBee…DJ…Have an epic fight
- moogle…DJ … Have a fun dream!
- Letaali…DJ… Cause massive destruction
- eMander…DJ… Visit this place
- Siiw…DJ…See what a fictional character looks like
- Jer…DJ…Fly into outerspace
It’s not to late to join is it? This looks like fun & a good way to improve Dream Recall. I Created a DJ here on the site specifically for this.
You are just in time, Jer. The first task will be posted tomorrow (or later today, if you live in one of those fancy future timezone places, like Europe).
Jer has been added to the list. Obfusc8’s goal updated to “Create a persistent totem item”. (sound good?)
I realized it hasn’t explicitly been said, but I will allow you to claim Current Task points up to ~24 hours after the task ends, with the stipulation that the period of sleep in which you had the dream began prior to the task closing. For example, if the next task gets posted at midnight local time, but you had gone to sleep two hours before at 22:00 (10pm), completing the first task will still count as current, even though you really probably had the dream some hours after the task closed. Once you see the new task, you cannot complete the previous as ‘current’, so checking on a WBTB would change your current task for the night.
This ‘extension’ is not meant to grant you extra time, but merely to give some grace time to allow for different timezones and different routines. I don’t want “staying up to see the new task” to be the reason you’re sleep deprived at work on Thursdays. 
I do expect you to be reasonably consistent for each week, though. Don’t put off viewing the next task simply because the previous one was easier.
I’ll add this rule (officially) to the first post.
[i]Task 1: Future Technologies[/i]
“I want to run, run, run to the Cities of the Future, take what I can, and bring it back home.”
[center]~Infected Mushroom[/center]The future is full of wonder and waiting to be created. You are all creative and imaginative people, I can’t wait to see what you bring back from the future. In this task I want you to interact with a technology that has not yet been invented (to your knowledge). Try to come to understand how it works and what it is used for. Be imaginative and see what clever thing your mind comes up with!
Week 1
[spoiler]4.6 1 ND + 2 fragments
5.6 3 NDs
6.6 3 NDs + 1 chain
7.6 2 NDs + 1 fragment + 1 task
[/spoiler]
I’m sorry if I confused anyone with my last minute rule addition…Hopefully I can clarify a little.
obfusc8 - If you will be viewing each task the ‘morning’ after it is posted, I would count it as if the task duration is from morning to the following morning. Recall points for that time period would also follow suit. Specifically for the first task, if you count dreams recalled from the night before, I can’t really accept dreams recalled after the last task closes, if it closes while you’re asleep.
The intent of the rule was to effectively shift the task deadlines, not to grant extra time on either end. Ultimately, everyone should have the same number of days/nights to compete. By starting the next day, I’ll allow you to finish up on the next day at the end. I’m asking for some consistency, as I don’t want anyone to have an unfair advantage by viewing the task early and gaining an extra night of having that task on their mind. Obviously, this is relying pretty well on the honor system, so please play fair.
In hindsight, I realize it’s not a perfect system and there was probably a much better way to implement it. 
Had an ND here this morning where I completed my personal goal of shapeshifting very nicely 
Obfus8: Should we post our dreams for the night as individual posts? Just wondering to make score recording easier.

One ND and one fragment. [community.ld4all.com/t/moogles-quest-part-26/39794/109)
The message hologram would be future technology but I only viewed it and didn’t realise it was future tech at the time… I will leave it to you whether to count it.
Last night I had 6 ND’s , which can be seen here… In one of the ND’s, I questioned whether I was dreaming or not, and started to write down my Dream Journal, before an ND started to give me heck.
Also, I censored my IRL friend’s names by just Writing the first inital (Eg. A, M, R , E)
I had all of these ND 's after I read your post .
We’re off to some strong starts. 
I’m looking in particular for interaction with what would be considered future technology currently in real life. You don’t have to realize it in the dream.
Posting individually makes it easier for me to keep track of through the week, but a summary post makes double checking a final tally easier. Whichever method you use, so long as I know what expect, it’ll be ok. Posting direct links to relevant DJ posts and/or quoting the relevant snippets of the dreams also helps make the scoring easier. These are just suggestions though, so long as the relevant information is posted here (I may not read your DJ if you don’t post here that you had dreams).
I’m so glad I’m not too late for this. 
I need recall practice. I’d like to use this post for links to the journal entries (still the same journal from before, and the same goal).
Week 1:
Week 2:

Fragment + 1 ND
2 NDs
1 ND [/spoiler]
If such structures count, I believe I completed task 2 here by visiting Petra, and if toys count, I feel like I used (although late) some futuristic toys in a dream here (specifically, I think about the connected sticks that unpack to a sphere that can be driven).
