Thread: Serial Dream RPG

I believe you offered me a posistion here earlier this week. And I'd be happy to join. I perfect control...but be aware I have an average of five lucid dreams a month. That's my only flaw. But I have one at least once or twice aweek, so I'll be happy to join. Oh, I'd like to a Human, Werewolf please. Werewolf is my specialty in dreams.

So here is my lucid dream that took me to the town of Denn: http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/imma...own-denn-6953/


I realise I’m dreaming and feel no fear. This time I remember the tasks I have to accomplish (Hooray!) Which one I do first? For some reason I didn’t feel like taking an elevator, so I decide to shrink to the atomic level. I do my best to shrink, but all I manage is to reduce maybe 10 cms. Damn. Continued trying and didn’t reduce size. Not to lose lucidity in vain, I decide to do the RPG task and decide to jump on the crater and use it as a portal for the RPG dream. I close my eyes on the jump and when feel my feet on the ground I open my eyes and I’m there!
At first I found it a bit different from what was supposed. I mean, the sky was bright blue, the houses of the village were all white and there was a general sense was of a happy sunny place. In front of me, downhill, I could see beautiful planes and hay stacks. On my left I saw these streets with white houses aligned downhill. On my back there was the main entrance to the village – through an arch, leading to a higher hill on top of which there was this big white building that at first looked like a church, but it had banners and flags and was for sure a fortress or castle.



On my right also downhill there was an alignment of stands covered by tents, of what looked like a medieval fair. This fair stretched to the main entrance of the village with a few open air stands. That’s when I realised: this is the town of Denn, although in my version it looks a lot like the traditional villages from the Alentejo province in the South of Portugal.




Lots of people were moving around, all dressed in medieval clothes and I approached one stand to see what they were selling. I have no idea what it was, but now in retrospective, it might have been arrows – they had boxes full of these pointy metallic spikes with what seemed to be tiny dragon wings on their back tip. Don’t know. Then I saw a mirror on one stand and decided to see myself there. That’s when I realised I had my normal look, wearing an aquamarine dress. No! I had to enter my character, so I looked for a more private place with a mirror to change myself. I entered the main village street, right behind the stands. There was a kind of tunnel on my left, between houses, leading to an inner court and because there was nobody around, I went inside and found a room that by chance was full of “antiques” – I guess in this context, they were useful working instruments - including a large mirror. The light was very dim, but I could see my reflexion quite well so I started changing my look to my warrior me. It all turned out quite well, but for some reason My face also changed and I was now a red haired girl with a long braid and tiny brown eyes. I was cute, but a bit annoyed of not looking more like myself – I wanted black hair and big brown eyes. It took me some time, but I finally got it. Meanwhile I think I lost very precious time. I need to be less obsessed about how I look and just keep going.
At this point a guy comes in and I realise he is the king! And he is totally drunk. I wonder what is a king doing drunk in such a place, that looks like the backrooms of the servants – oh, maybe I actually know...
He starts hitting on me, saying he never saw me before but that I’m hot. I avoid him, moving around the room and he is insisting, trying to catch me. He thinks that my running around is my way to arouse him. I feel tired of this, want to go look for the tavern, when a group of people come inside all worried. They were looking for the king, afraid he was doing something stupid (as he was). As they try to grab him and take him away, I decide to sneak out before they start asking questions.
I go deeper into a hallway I find connecting to other deeper rooms and I think I found some kind of kitchen.



Everybody is so busy carrying stuff from one place to the other, it’s very hot and there are these servant boys taking a rest in a very dark corner with a few wooden benches.
I sit with them for a while, no one ask me questions as they are either too busy or just plain tired, but then I wake up.

Welcome aboard, werewolf.

Awesome, job, immaia!!!!

Ok here's mine, sorry it's so short I was tired when I woke up so I just summed it up lol.

Mirror Task

I was back in the basement, chilling out. Thinking of the previous dream, I decided to do a reality check. 6 Fingers, lucid. I thought of what to do first, and thought of the mirror task. The dream went unstable, and I could feel both realities coexisting at once. I took advice from people on the DV forums and screamed. I felt the walls around me, and once again everything became clear. I decided to go out into the woods behind my house. I went into my bedroom, and climbed through the window without opening it. It felt like trying to walk through saran wrap. I ran out into the woods. I was barefoot. It was challenging running through the woods, fallen trees made obstacles to jump over. I found the mirror and looked through it. I pressed my hand against the mirror, until it gave away and I walked into it. I was teleported back to the basement.

I would like to do this but I don't get enough lucid dreams. But if I can I would want to be a human alchemist (from full metal alchemist.)

I had a dream, non-lucid, where I was an Assassin's Creed Assassin. I was in a bar, there was a bartender with unusual energy... I listened to the customers until I heard about a girl who had been kidnapped and was going to be sacrificed to a spider demon, then I went to rescue her. I'm behind on my DJ, but I will record more detail soon, I am wondering if that was part of this serial RPG... I didn't see a mirror, but the tavern seemed to match, as did the fact that I was an Assassin's Creed Assassin looking for a quest.

Thanks to everyone for playing.

I would like to close this game to new players because it will be hard to really play catch up. However I also started a Mutant Based Serial Dream RPG.

***

If you have not completed the first mission, don't worry about it. Close your eyes and imagine your character standing before you in great detail. Then, walk behind them, unzip them, and step in. How does it feel to be in this different body?

Episode 2: Rescuing the demon boy

You are in a deep forest full of black-barked trees in the summer in a temperate clime. It is late afternoon. Dusk approaches, and sunlight filters through the forest canopy. The smell of wet earth hangs in the air. Birds are beginning to settle in to roost for the night. You hear a rustling in the bushes. There is a little demon boy hiding. He tells you not to reveal his hiding spot... They are going to get him. Who is they?

Sh!

You see a strange thing like a snake writhing through the air. You realize it's some kind of vine. It wraps around the boy's ankle, and drags him away. Help! You give chase. The vine is actually a tentacle of a strange monster with many eyes, mouths, and tentacles. It looks like it's part tree, part insect, and all nightmare. The monster holds the boy in the air, and speaks in a strange guttural tongue, but for some reason you understand it.

He is ours. He is our son, our prince, and we will train him in the dark arts... He will know power, and you will bow down and kiss his hooves.

The demon boy screams in terror. You must rescue him.

Your mission is to rescue the demon boy from the strange monster.

Advanced Task: Give the demon boy an enchanted weapon.

This is so cool! But I can hardly ever even get on to DV, and I don't think I have near enough skill to do this...

Will be giving this a shot, soon. I've already had a dream in my DJ, about having to rescue a lil boy from an animated tree vine/tentacle, so it might not be too hard to induce.

I was in the middle of a dream, totally under the impression that I was playing the RPG exactly the way I was supposed to. Like I was receiving instructions as I went along, or something? My recall's a little off, but it felt like the plot was building itself around the game. Strange.

This is the first (overdue) task. Sort of.

The sky is streaked with the orange of the setting sun, which is hidden by the trees ahead of me.

The group is gathered in a large circle, sitting cross-legged on the ground and facing inwards. I look around the circle, cataloging each face. I know all of these people. All of them are my age, and they're from all over the world, these people I've met in waking life.

We've been stranded here, I realize.

"It'll be one of them," says Jesse, pointing at me and - Zoe, sitting to my left. "Look at you two! Your spots are right next to the forest! Anything could come by and grab you."

I'm lucid, not even feeling the need for a reality check. I frown. I can feel the dark, wolf-like presence lurking in the shadows behind me. Wordlessly, effortlessly, I call up a wall of mirrors on the other side of the clearing, confident that I'll be able to see the creature coming.

I recognize the mirrors as a part of Nomad's first task, and I decide to stay here to play out the rest of the game. I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror: short blond hair, black clothes... everything gets a little fuzzy.

Oh, I totally think you do, Red. You're a natural.

Well, that is just crazy. Maybe you dreamed it beforehand? I am looking forward to reading that now!

Here is the link. Be sure to check out the fragments, after the main dream. They are all related.

And I'm about to go back to bed, and try a WBTB. Hopefully, I can get the mission done. I'll report back if there is any success!

Holy shit. That dream is insane.

Hi WakingNomad!

I've only recently found this thread, but it sounds really interesting. Would it be possible for me to join in? Id probably just want to be a human, but with dream powers obviously. I should be able to complete the tasks, and dream incubation is something ive longed to try. Well, heres my hero CV i guess.

Current confirmed kills:
3
Current confirmed powers:
Flying,
Summoning weapons,
Alternate mode (I seem to remember changing form and flying around, a flamethrower in each hand, power coursing through me)
What I will offer
Friendly service, with a smile.

What is CV?

You must decide on a character. What is your main role? Then, post in the thread that describes your character.

It will be tough for you to catch up, but go for it.

Welcome aboard! Thanks for playing.

A Curriculum Vitae maybe? that sheet You must give to the employer when You apply for a job.

ONTOPIC: I'm pretty bad at dream incubation.

Hey, WakingNomad. I've had some pretty sweet LDs, and I thought them all out myself before going to bed. I was wondering, could I also make a task for every two weeks or so? By the way, what is next week's task?

This idea is ridiculously awesome. I've never LD'd before, but once I do I'll try and pick up where the last person left off in the role of like a swordsman/spellsword haha.

Dream incubation just means thinking about what you want to do in a dream. A movie, video game, book, meditation, or day dream can all be incubations.

The second task is listed above. The next one will not be revealed until its time. Why don't you create an additional task for yourself, or start your own RPG dream game? That would be cool if we had many going on at a time.

Creating additional tasks would not work well for what is already going on here, because doing one every two weeks is pretty challenging.

You don't have to be lucid, but it helps.

Cool. So what did you look like in the mirror? That's cool that you walked through it.

Okay, then i'll make a character and join in!

I'd like to be a light and dark grey EVA spartan (halo series lol), with pulsating blue lines running down my armour. As the EVA is designed for exploring the depths of space, why not the depths of the mind? My primary role for the team would probably be as heavy support, bringing in the big guns when times are tough.

Cool. Post your character in the Character List thread. I think the link is on page 2.

Unsuccessful attempt.

#154. More Carpet

Staring at a grey carpet floor, I am fully aware that I'm in a dream. I don't bother with a reality check, but I do take a moment to stabilize my surroundings (do nothing). I'm concentrating on the carpet, for some reason. Next time, I should probably focus on the rest of the room.

Nomad's RPG task is to rescue the demon boy. I imagine myself in a forest, an aura of fear tinging the air. I wait for the faint pull that will take me from one dream to the other, and

End recall.

At least I actually remembered what the task was, this time.
