Thread: Serial Dream RPG

UPDATE

Because there are so many people in the game, please list your character in the serial dream RPG Character List thread.

Alright, for clarification:

This is your first mission:

Go into the woods, and find a mirror, then look at yourself in it in your character.

The details I wrote for Ferret are designed to engage all the dream-senses, and to maintain lucidity. Also, details help with incubating dreams, but dreaming of all those details is not necessary.

Advanced Task

If you have already completed the first task, or are still in a dream and want more stuff to do, go to the Town of Denn, and have a drink at the Hoppy Brains Tavern. The town is on the edge of the forest.

***

The Town of Denn

Denn is a small town, but is always bustling with activity due to it being at the crossroads of a lake, river, and road. There you can find anything you could want to buy. There are people of many different races and places calling loudly about all manner of fascinating wares. Weapons, armor, food, drink, potions, herbs, scrolls, and mythical pets. You browse through the wares examining things. You see a woman in exotic bird make up wink at you. She seems familiar somehow. The feeling passes. And you continue. The smell of burning meat wafts through your nose, then sweet fruits, then flowers, then the smell of a camel as camel walks by and nuzzles your head.
"Here's where it all really begins," you think. "I am exactly where I am supposed to be."
As you walk through the town, you are amused at the posters saying, "Adventurers Wanted!"
You see a wooden sign with picture of a brain with frog legs. Underneath that is says, "Hoppy Brains Tavern."
"I could use a pleasant diversion this sunny afternoon."
Cheery music flows out of the tavern. You step in. Everyone stops and looks at you. The music is silent. You walk to the bar.
"How much for a beer?"
"Five pieces of Nothing."
"Well, I happen to have an infinite supply of nothing. DRINKS ON ME!"
Everyone cheers, downs their beers. You sit down and enjoy the lively music. A strange being serves you a dish of bread that somehow looks alive. You stab it, and stuff it in your mouth. It's pleasantly creamy as it wriggles down your throat.

All you have to do is go into the bar and have a drink. The other stuff I wrote to help you incubate the dream.

Serial Dream RPG Character List

I think I already started preparing for this game my last night. I will post it soon on my DJ, but basically I felt I was joining some kind of game and a lady presented me the rules. A big roll of parchment was unfolded in front of my eyes and I was trying to read it and realise it was an introduction and the rules but it was too much to keep reading, so I didn't go through it all. But the idea behind it was cool. Later I was trying outfits and looks, but instead of a sexy warrior I looked more like a hybrid between a vampire and Lady Gaga, so I'll keep working on it.

I have a feeling I'm gonna have my first LD tonight, and I'll let my subconscious dream up a character for me. Maybe it will be like my dark elf from Oblivion!

So you are saying you are in?

That's either really hot or exceptionally terrifying.

Last night i was lucid, but i barely remember it at all. I listened to ninja's Subliminal lucid 3.0 for like 45 minutes, couldn't fall asleep, (btw this was supposed to be MILD) I meditated for a while, and i had 2 dreams, one lucid that i don't remember, and i non-lucid that wasn't vivid at all =/ I NEED some help, haven't had a good lucid in a long time.

Vampire = hot, Lady Gaga = terrifying?

Isn't it strange how we know we had a lucid dream, but we can't remember anything else. You're doing fine. Just don't stress about it. Waking life already has enough stress!

It seems a good challenge (I'm not in a good moment in terms of dreaming), I'm in.

Had my first good length lucid, (around 40 minutes) in a long time. was too focused to do the goals, but i think im back to LDing regularly

Nope, sorry

I got close, but not quite, so I guess it's alright to post the dream.

Reploid Combat

I enter the boss chamber, there is scrap metal and debris everywhere. I see my mission objective, Two or three reploids that were captured by this boss. I approach them. halfway to them, I realize I might be in a video game. I look at the walls and the floor, paper thin, just like a video game. But wait, am I...

The entire room explodes in a gust of wind, I am lifted off the ground, I cannot move, taking heavy damage from the debris. I spot the boss, two reploids that are unaffected by the wind. They are on an elevated platform. I still can't move, I'll be destroyed if I don't do something! I think for a second, and remember, Reploids have the ability to teleport! I focus for a second and become a golden, yellow streak of light and appear right before the bosses. I ready my blaster.

They say, "It is disappointing, the progress being made under Gawn's (?) rule. The bosses disappear before I get a shot off.

-Notes-

I don't know for sure if they actually said Gawn, I didn't pay enough attention to the words, and I forgot by the second time I recalled the dream, also, this dream is mostly channeled, as in, it just came to me in words.

also, I am happy that I got this close to the dream goal of being a reploid and looking in the mirror, at least now I know I won't have any problems being a reploid.

Good job, bro!

Dude, that's pretty sick, especially teleporting in a streak of light! The most important thing is that you became a Reploid. Still try and go to a forest, and look at yourself in a mirror though.

Thanks Nomad, I just remembered a bit more from last night though, so I think I have looked in a mirror

I don't think it's worth posting here, so i'll just post a link
A bit more recall - Dream Journals - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource

I forgot the mirror bit last night during my WILD, but managed to attempt the advanced one. I'll post the dream and what followed later tonight.

How often do you log in your DJ?

I don't use a lot the DJ here (because I have to translate from my physical DJ), but I could catch the habit.

How often do you lucid dream?

Not that much, usually only once per week, or less.

What is your dream control like?

Average, could be better but It's ok for most common situations.

Please post any dreams that have to do with the game here. Anyway, good job, man!

I am at my house, I remember my dream goal of looking in a mirror and being a reploid. I see my reflection, it's incredibly hard to describe, so I drew a crappy picture. I think the top half is better than the bottom half, but it's all fairly crappy, I did it quickly so I wouldn't forget it, plus I'm horrible at drawing.

Please create a character for yourself. Welcome aboard!

Found a forest, got lucid, and proceeded to lose the whole dream when I tried to summon a mirror.

Next time.

I'll post a profile in the next couple days, once I actually get home.

My contribution to the story so far.

Nice dream!

So here is the DJ entry (excerpts) with more details of this dream.

"(...) I am sitting on a café table, crying. Two ladies from the group appear again by my side and order ice-creams. I feel disoriented, how can they be so cool, eating ice-creams. I decide to get up and leave but they just give me an order to go get an orange ice-cream for myself. (...) a lady (one of the previous ladies?) is now explaining me “the game”. She shows me a large text, like a roll of parchment she starts unfolding in front of my eyes. It’s an introduction and rules of the game. But it is so dense, so long, that I just give up after a few paragraphs and lose my interest. I continued looking at it, but at a certain point I was no longer reading it.
Then there’s another gap, but I remember starting walking through these large hallways – where everything is luxurious, like an underground avenue with hotels on both sides and fancy restaurants and art galleries. I feel I have a new different look, so I stop by a large mirror on the wall to look at myself and I look weird but cool at the same time, with long black hair, dark sunglasses and an avant-garde red dress with a stylish hood over my head. I feel I look awesome but maybe a bit too much Lady Gaga for my taste. Everybody is looking at me and I feel I need to tone down a little. I take the hood and the glasses. And adjust the dress – it actually becomes sexier, with a cleavage and tighter. Then I think I look more like what I should look like and keep going. I find this exit doors to the outside and end up in a square with a fountain. I remember lots of people moving around, coming in an out of the underground city, the outside being a bit grey, then... I don’t recall the rest of the dream."

It's not exactly in the line of the game story, but WalkingNomad said I should post any way because I did the mirror check and saw the look of my character, so first task completed!

Hell yeah, that is badass.

Mission #2 Begins September 15th! (If you don't complete the first one, don't worry about it.) On this day, I'd like to close this game to new players. The reason is it will be really tough to catch up.
