The Chroniclers Part V

Dry streak… had one last week, but I was curious about how the interesting dream would end…

I do like the “reforming” idea so that we don’t have that built up list of people who joined for the little button… and we don’t have a load of inactive people either…

I do happen to like Sky Island though, I’m not so sure about just a round stone place… It would feel… insignificant! But Sky Island DOES have a few pitfalls…

I totally agree with the reforming idea; it seems like there’s a massive amount of people who joined, then quickly faded out of the picture (and many times, off of LD4all entirely).

As far as Sky Island goes, I really do love the idea! Honestly, it’s not that I necessarily want to do away with Sky Island. In fact, I think that it would be a really exciting, awesome place to get lucid (after all, it was made to have all of the features a lucid dreamer could want :tongue: ). One of the biggest pitfalls for me, though, is that we don’t have more than a general picture and a description of what it looks like. If we each have different mental images of the place where we’re supposed to meet, how can we expect to meet there? I don’t really see how that would be possible.

I’m not saying that we would have to go with Ladon’s idea specifically, either. These days, with all of the pictures of famous locations (not to mention Google Street View in many countries) available on the net, it would be pretty easy to select a real-world location and let everyone familiarize themselves with it. Heck, we could even go with someplace like the Crossroads, since there are full 3D pictures of what it’s supposed to look like.

sorry for butting in since I’m not a member of the group…
but I like the idea of sky island being partly formed/created naturally through the dreamer’s dreams. The idea of having that stone circle as an entry point sounds good though, so you have somewhere solid to focus on … then sky island itself is directly overhead.

Thanks for the input! You said it better than I ever could.

So are we going to start over?

I’m still here. :razz: I’m just not very active on the forums, I’m in the chatroom all the time, though.

I’m having a tough time just having LDs in general, and school starting up again is having a huge effect on my sleep, so I don’t know when I will be able to put my focus back in SDing…

Well, I believe that we need to rethink some of these things if we’re going to have some real success with shared dreams. So I guess now we should let all of our active Chroniclers know what’s up, and see what everybody has to say about it from there.

That reminds me, we need a way to actually alert other Chroniclers, instead of crossing our fingers and praying for the best… Hasn’t worked yet!

Another thing, I haven’t heard ANY reports of reaching Sky Island since I joined… not one! My worry is that even if we become lucid, we won’t make it… and I’ve heard reports of that!

When I get lucid, i’ll be sure to visit sky island. It’s just whenever I manage these days, I want to do other things, it just doesn’t seem as important once I’m lucid for me.

I remember you :tongue:

Okay,i’m having a lucid dryspell,but as soon as i can,i will conbnect.
On the island,you can find me to the north edge,probably around some weird things.
I’l be looking as my dream avatar most likeley…(check link in signature)

Hey guys, I’d like to join.

I used to be in the chroniclers on my old account and I made it to Sky Island once in my LD.

I used to be Jake_drummer or something like that in case you remember.

So yeah I’ll join, I’m pretty active on the forums and I almost had a LD this morning that turned out to be an AP, so yeah…

School days- 10pm eastern… wake up 5 am eastern.
Weekends- Unpredictable but we can work something out.

And a suggestion, how about Sky Island is a place we can meet, but it might be harder to get there than it is to get to like… the top of the empire state building or big ben.

Think about it… and we might have a SD eventually

:boogie: :beer: cheers.

Well that’s not completly my point of view but I guess for an open subject like this I think it’s naturally that we all approach it differently. I really see the difference in perception of Sky Island as an issue, it’s not the same place so how can you expect someone to be there, after all they imagined themself to be somewhere else… I don’t know if anyone else shares ‘my’ view but to make a compromise I think it would be good to have, that solid focus (circle, whatever) then Sky Island as well to wander off if you please, exactly like you suggested moogle. Altough I do think that Sky Island needs to be simplyfied if you’re going this route. Leave Sky Island a bit to the imagination but not too much, as the size of the island grows, our minds seperate, but that’s just how I think…

I have to say, I looked at the Crossroads some days earlier so that probably inspired me, they have a circle over there as well :wink:

I’m not gonna step up and do all the logistics as I’m not part of the group (yet?), nor have the experience with the people on the inside to actually make this work.
But I think to revive this subject (and make it work), we need a good structure, only active members and that sleep scheme was a very good idea. We just need to find out how to stay in touch easier and organize stuff. I’d say open up a new thread first with a poll to know who wants this reform and let them apply there so we know who’s active and who’s not.

For the rest… I really don’t feel comfortable talking like this to you people as I’m not really part of the group yet xD I get the feeling that I’m giving the impression of a know-it-all jerk :tongue:

We should re-coordinate, and group up.

Anybody in Eastern timezone?

I’m EET,i think…
Not sure tho,err…
I haven’t gotten lucid in a while :sad:
cough
Need LD!
Fast.
Come on,people!We can do this… :smile:

I am. but I’m not into the group yet the leader hasn’t replied yet but hopefully I’ll be able to get in. Anybody else In Eastern??

Instead of filling the topic up with time zone posts … why not put your time zone or location in the location field on your profile page?
Then fellow group members can see your timezone at a glance and don’t have to read through pages of posts to find it.

That’s a smart idea moogle! :smile:
Then we don’t even need to make another list!
But the usergroup needs to be cleansed out because as a new member, it’s impossible to get a hold of someone because you have no idea wether the one in the usergroup is active or not…

Anyone saw Shatterspire? I think it would be fair to let him decide the biggest parts as he’s after all… the founder.

Got lucid last night… but sadly, when I attempted to teleport… I went to an FA… got hit with an apple, and went to another FA… blinked, and woke up!

  1. I agree with the last comment!

  2. I don’t know if putting our time zones on is a good idea… some people want to keep private about their locations!

  3. I’m in Mountain Time Zone (-7 GMT)

Ladon: We already have a picture of Sky Island, it’s the one in my Avatar. But I like the idea of the focus. It could possibly be those pillars, or the symbol of the chroniclers itself.

Honestly, I’ve been fairly distracted from this as of late, although I’m on chat regularly. Ladon, you have some good ideas, why not try one of those for a few weeks before moving on?
