Thread: Lucid Dares

Percy - thank you for helping Dreamer out, and fully agreed! Verre did indeed accomplish her task I would say so as well. Just been reading her full entry from your link and yeah - it's fantastic, can't not count! Especially because of her actually remembering the sonrg and lyrics!
Soo - congratulations!! Misery me should have said so instantly...

This thread is soo great! It's a real institution, exciting like the TOTM but personal, it's wonderful.
Huge thank you Dreamer for putting it up and both you and Percy for caring for it!

Thank you, Percy!
I haven't caught up on people's progress yet, I have some reading to do...
It looks like there have been some great attempts and successes lately!
I should have more time free soon, but I appreciate you keeping the OP updated.

I will start knocking some dares off my list once I complete the other TotMs. I plan to do the Halloween tasks in one hit!

Wishing everyone fulfilling dreams!

*Added StephL's red status in OP*
I haven't read all the replies yet - let me know if you've started taking dares again, Steph!

Will do, will do!
First my two remaining dares and getting outfitted with more wiiinx it is!

I say forget this "traitor" and "leeching powers" talk! In the dream world, DV members are my family!

But sometimes families fight... Dragon Ball Z style! Therefore, I will do battle with the Sith dynamic duo of Sensei and FryingMan.

Gentlemen, I'm apparently supposed to lose this fight, so better not forget your light sabers.

Oh, your smug jedi tush is going to get shredded. Good luck blocking my lightsaber, which has been invisible in recent dreams

Once again the Sith will rule the galaxy! And.....we....shall....have....Peace!

I've forgot about daring some DV members, I think I have 3 dares for some of you, but I must find a fourth one. Was it 3 DV members and one for everybody? I must check it, but I will come back later. As usual, time is running too fast this month in this prelude for my birthday

That's right, Box! Looking forward to hearing your dares!
I bet a birthday LD is coming your way!

Hahahaha, okay then. I just was like writing a story on each dare, like role playing type of thing, felt it was cool. I will edit then the OP

b]Updated dare:[/b]

Hope the wording is perfect now!

• Friend? Foe? You realize that (choose any character, real or fictional -please, kid boo would be epic!-) is testing your dream powers... you must fight him/her/it on the ultimate dream battle.. but unfortunately, you perish. (PercyLucid)

Made it open for you to choose, even though you chose your two opponents already, you have more freedom for this dare! (Maybe kid boo can join them )

For each dare you complete, you an challenge 3 specific members plus a "anyone" dare I advice to make easy dares for "anyone" so more people gets to participate, then the personal dares, up to you

Now I see where it came from... I became lucid last night and apparently I wasn't able to remember anything, and almost at the end of the dream I thought it was a TotM to change the color of some flowers, which I was about to include in my Anyone dare because of I thought I just invented it, but apparently I didn't, so I won't include that one but still, will use the general idea that brought up with me last night. So here are my dares which I was able to partially complete to have some lucid fun (hope you get it):

~ Dreamer ~: It's my way of saying thanks for your helping hand!

• Extend your hand in front of you and pick up with your fingers some distant objects of the dreamscape as they were miniatures. Try to do the same with a DC.

CanisLucidus: Step to the front!

• Stand on the edge of a more than 15-story building and take a step to the front to have a walk on Lilliput land yep, the city must shrink before you step on the ground (Tip: play with the perspective). If you fail at least you will have time to do some air surfing which could give you an extra portion of an adrenalin rush if you just don't teleport to the ground.

FryingMan: Do you know these three ladies?

• Serve yourself as a special dish and let be eaten by these beauties:

Anyone: A visit to the graveyard.

• Put some flowers on the graves of a cemetery at night.

Oh, that's a great one! Thank you, Box, I'm really looking forward to trying this one! Great dream control exercise!

Congrats once again Box, I'm really happy to see how much your dreams are improving!

I love this dare! It reminds me a bit of my aquarium TotM dream, where I was placing animals from such a distance that they seemed tiny between my fingers.

Thank you Percy for your dare as well! I love testing my goal memory by completing multiple tasks in the same dream. This is good motivation to knock a few dares off my list at once!

Oh, boy . Sounds interesting, you're on!

I see, it's very similar, so you have some previous experience but in the opposite way.

I tried to suggest tasks that somehow I managed to perform at least once, although not as I would like to, specially letting myself to be eaten by a bunch of vamps . Hope you get better results. Looking forward to hear your experiences.

Yeah as for the "eaten" thing -- may be a loose interpretation of "eat?" Well in any case if they want to dine they'll have to ... "prep" me first

Finally - that was the 6th attempt at Maxis' dare - and this time I nailed it!

Spoiler for Maxis' dare completed:

Been waking up several times on my own last night, and used two of them to do some self-suggestions - and tadaa - lucid!
It was an optically beautiful dream, all was shiny and sparkly and had intense colours, like I unfortunately don't have it so often. It was so beautiful, that I refrained from trying any tasks for a while and just flew about in a city with lots of old-fashioned houses and trees and little gardens and parks.
There was a VW-beetle, cream-coloured, and I used to have one as a student, so I landed and boarded and drove about a bit, first lucid driving ever. Much too smooth for a real beetle, it drove itself more or less, but it was a great memory of the good old times...

Quite astonished over the duration, I decided okay - this is the time, when I finally get it right after maybe 5 or 6 fails at Maxis' dare.
So there I was, standing in the street, and ordering a lighting storm. Came almost instantly, got dark in the process, and first I thought, it's going to end like the last times, just no one bolt dared touch down on me.
But I really gave it my all, hands reaching to heaven, beckoning, imagining myself transforming from getting hit, too.

And then I got hit!!
A bolt maybe only 5 cm in diameter, but it struck me directly in my outstretched right hand and went through my body.
The sensation wasn't overly strong, but I did feel electricity shoot through me and into the ground, it was a tingling, sizzly feeling, completely pain-free, but astonishing. Maybe it worked, because I had imagined how it would feel directly in the dream, before the beckoning.

My field of vision almost went into the sort of total white-out, I had experienced when the real episode of me almost getting struck happened, but not quite. Not as mercilessly bright and overwhelming as it had been in reality.
I had concentrated on transforming into a cat, too, besides surviving, I imagined a great cat, one for which I wouldn't have to loose mass from my human physiology, imagining a small cat wasn't helpful I had decided.

And what I got was a sort of spiky white fur, half electricity, half real, I felt my body distinctly differently, but I woke up before I could go on exploring further, what it was I had transformed into. But looking out from my face, I could see all the spikes coming out of naked me, including my face, maybe 10 cm long and in patches, not evenly, there was skin visible between them. Fur seems to be the most easy thing for me, when it comes to transformation.
Almost the only thing, I ever got from attempts, to be honest. Well - and once a beak.

Very satisfying long lucid!

I Did It - Maxis' Dare Completed - Struck By Lightning Survival And A Bit Of Electric Fur!!

Yup - thank you Maxis again, this was quite some piece of work, and I'm very happy to finally have done it. Going to think of a dare for you this time around as well, but I need some more time for contemplation.

I'd say, my red status could be re-set now, I'm open again, with only one beautiful dare still on the menu, Hukif's clash of galaxies is going to be next!
I still lack full wingedness, but anyway - I'm back in. Later more!

Yep, you know how what they do before dinner... that's why I thought it was the perfect task for the perfect vamp meal...

Awesome job!! And nice read

*** OP updated ***

Nice work, StephL!
I'm looking forward to see what dares you come up with now.
Good luck with Hukif's dare!

Soo - my dares:

Maxis: Astral project from within a lucid dream! Lie down, cause hypnagogic hallucinations, or illusions, maybe vibrations - achieve any aspect of classical WILD "noise", then leave your "physical body" with your "dream-astral-body", chord attached would be nice.
Take a good look at your sleeping self! "Bonus" if you go on and leave, fly up into the night sky and travel through as many of the seven astral planes, as you manage: "...planar surfaces ..., separated by immense coloured "buffer zones". Higher planes have bright, colourful patterns, whereas lower planes appear far duller."

Nightfeather: Use any means you like to get to the moon, watch our jewel of a planet rise in total blackness of space!



Sivason: Deep in the ocean, there is a crystal city, with huge turrets and towers and a beautiful palace, populated by a sentient, translucent and bioluminescenct race of great wisdom. You are to present yourself to their queen and tell her about humanity's troubles, how our primitive ways of energy generation might kill both our people's planet, and plead for her to share her people's secrets how to generate clean energy from mere water with you. Let her show you one of their facilities and explain, how it works. Then thank her, surface, meet with Obama and convince him of the method being humanity's salvation, convince him that there's no better way to use his power than to work towards implementing it for the whole world - watch him give a speech to that effect.

Anybody: Dream in slow-motion! Jump and "run", watch other DCs interact, finally choose one, and fight her/him - all in slow motion!


Weell Sivason - I read you complain about lack of intricacy, difficulty and extensiveness concerning ToTMs - so I thought, I'd provide you with something rather complicated, something I hope could present a challenge to you.

Tja - do I have an excuse for being so complicated with you as well, Maxis? Not really - I just like my idea, which I put up for eventual ToTM bonus task, but I doubt, it'll get through. Oh - and "revenge" for motivating and inspiring me so wonderfully to really work on your dare!
I feel, I gained an extra level of dream-confidence in myself by finally accomplishing it!
But no worries - just separation from your "physical body" and being able to look back at it would suffice.
It's meant as a "simulation", as dreaming it, but if you'd do an OBE-style WILD - that counts as well of course!

Thanks for the dare, StephL! I've never been to space, not even in non-lucids.
I hope to will break my dry spell soon (blaming stressful WL).

Yay! Congratulations StephL! Your dedication is absolutely brilliant, and I'm glad you finally got it down. The dream was a wonderful read as well.

Haha, I don't mind how complicated your dare is, it actually sounds like it'll be really fun to attempt. Anyway, I'm cutting you some slack with how much effort you spent on mine.

It may take me a few tries and a while, but I'll keep updated on my attempts.

I'm certain, you're going to get back into it! Just coming to my mind, that you're German, and I've been putting up something of these guys just lately*: KlareTraeume on YouTube Maybe you'll like their videos as well and think them helpful - I surely do! Good luck with your real life - and - Klare Träume!

Edit: I've also never been to space, to be honest, and that while I'm such a space fan! But I've got a great space spectacle on the menu from Hukif now as well!

Thank you! It was a wonderful dream, and a wonderful feeling to have overcome whatever kept me from letting myself get struck by myself, so to speak. And I very much look forward to reading your adventure(s)!

If I take out the fighting part and slow things down until they seem to stop allowing me to freely move among them, that's exactly one of my lucid goals. It could be a good reason to give it a try

Wow - then by all means, Box! And you are also allowed to dance with somebody instead of fighting, anybody is!

What would you guys and gals prefer? Being in slow motion as well as the DCs, as I meant it, or would you find it more attractive like Box says - you in normal speed and all others in slow-mo? In that case you wouldn't really be able to interact, rather act upon.
Oh well - or you just slow yourself down for that endeavour, and otherwise are free...
You tell me - but you can choose between dancing and fighting, if you interact.
