I guess what I'm trying to say is that if I got to the point where I actually came into the right dream or was lucid, I would probably be okay. It's just getting to that point that I don't think I could do.

The demon boy is being quite elusive to me... Should I also post here my failed attempts to do the RPG task or just the meaningful ones? Cause all I've been able to was to see the woods for 3 seconds... and I keep being kicked out of the dream.

Hey I wanna play please. My character will be a blue-footed boobie who is a healing witch.

Awww I just read back and saw you closed it to new members. Let me know when you start a new one and I'll play

OMG this is such a cool idea!

I would join in but my LD count isn't consistent... I stopped focusing on LD for the past few weeks and have just started to get back into it again. I might join in later if I can get my recall/LDing back!

I dont know if anyones still really active here? Im not, My lucidity has been shot for the last month but slowly getting it back. Been way too busy with stuff. Wouldnt be hard to do something similar yourself though and just make your own thread for progress. Just try to get a cool story going and keep it going through different dreams. The main thing is incubation.

I went with posting failed attempts as well; I don't see why not.

Good question. I'm just waiting to see if Nomad posts another challenge or not. I think he's been busy.

Sorry I missed this post. Please post all attempts.

Awesome. Please look at yourself in a mirror after morphing into your character.

Never mind about that. But, you must do the first task.

Yeah. Been looking for a place to live, a car, and a job. Also going to school, blah blah blah..... Anyway.

***

Go into the town of Denn to look for a weapon. There is a weapon shop in the Free Market where everything is free. Select a weapon. After you select a weapon, you hear a strange crashing noise in the street. There is a giant hairy monster with lots of teeth terrorizing the citizens of Denn. You must defeat the monster.

sorry guys, i havent been active. Its hard keeping my 4.0 and still getting on here and shit, i have to manage my grades,smoke bud,keep my girlfriend happy and its tough. can i have some tips for a busy LDer?

My best advice? Keep your DJ active. Even if you're not posting to DV, keep making quick jotnotes in a notebook. It's the easiest way to maintain good recall.

Hi fellow dreamers! I've been trying to do the RPG task of the demons boy - and I hadn't yet seen the newer task.
I considered this post (below) as a failed attempt of saving the demon boy, but somehow it also fits into the newer task - of going to the town and getting a free weapon. I got magic candies! So maybe it is not a total failure

(...) Then I think about which task I want to perform and I choose the RPG task. But my LD is not strong enough, so I look at my hands trying to sharpen it. Then I look for a portal and I see a long corridor and a mirror at the end of it. I go there and my reflection becomes alive and comes out of the mirror. This reflection-me tries to distract me and discourage me from my intent. I remember my RPG warrior character and as I become it, I use my sword and plunge it into my other me. My other me looks surprised “How could you?”. My other me starts decomposing. It is hideous yet liberating to see my own body rotten and become dust. I feel prepared for my task and I jump into the mirror. I remember the town of Denn, but didn’t remember I was supposed to go to the forest. So I landed on a town, which this time looks like Lisbon, but instead of reality-like, it is entirely cartoon-like. I feel amazed with the originality, the beauty and the detail of this cartoon reality I landed on. After a while I remember I should look for the forest but then how to get there? I don’t want to use another portal because on my last jump I almost woke up. Then I see a subway station and I think maybe I can take the metro and imagine the last stop is in the forest. But I also think that will take too long and I’ll loose lucidity by then. As I think of solutions, Hermione Granger from Harry Potter appears in front of me and handles me some candies of various colours she says are magical. Each of the colours are related to a place dominated by those colours. So if I wish to go to the woods, I should take a green one. I thank for the gift and I store the candies in a pouch. Unfortunately I don’t have enough time to take the green candy because I loose lucidity and just continue roaming in the town for a while.

THAT IS AWESOME. now you have a way to travel. It's also a good RC/totem. If a candy you eat teleports you, you are probably dreaming!

Cool dream! It really sucks I havnt had a lucid in a while. Recently I had a dream where I was drizzt but nothing happened to do with den or anything. You can read it here

wow. this dream gave me chills. thanks for sharing.

Hey Nomad,

I have just started to get back into writing my dreams down - and would love to join but I am working on my lucidity etc. first - and trying to get to the moon. However, I had a dream last night that seemed like I was on a quest in a group. I don't know if it's anything like where you guys are at but here is what I can recall:

3.

I was in a group of 3 maybe 4 people and we were going towards a tower. We reached it and managed to destroy it and then moved onto the next one. When we reached it I saw a lot of people walk out from the tower and one of the group members became busy talking to someone with horses.

I am still working on my recall as well. Sorry for the lack of details.

That's cool. No apologies necessary.

LOL this is an AWESOME idea, just wanted to say. I think I may take this on! I've only been LDing consistently for, oh, two days... and only one of them was a true LD... but I'll take what I can get, and I'm doing very well lately, I'm confident. ANYWAY. If perhaps there could be a directory for the tasks, that would be nice!

I'll probably play a catgirl druid (stereotypical I know, but I've always wanted to be a catgirl. Maybe I'll be a winged catgirl! ).

I know not everyone believes in time dilation in dreams, but if you do it would definitely be worth trying for this to obtain longer episodes, just saying.

EDIT: The questions!
When do I DJ: Every time I remember a dream. I share one online with some friends in Google Wave, it's lots of fun and I love to put stuff up there so I edit it all the time.
How often I lucid dream: I'm on a new regime now and I've been getting them every day multiple times, but I don't always remember them because of school. It's almost the weekend so that should improve. So basically it depends, but at least once a week I think I can count on it.
How good my dream control is: it varies. WILDLY. Sometimes I can fly and portal and summon objects and change settings etcetera... sometimes it's all I can do just to run at a normal pace D: but that too is improving! So I think I'm eligible, at least, for this, and I'm happy to write my own script and just post here, possibly based on my current Dungeons and Dragons campaign. I'd actually prefer to do that if it's okay with you? Less work lol.

What do you mean by write your own script?

This seems pretty cool, so I'm gonna join.

1. I don't write in my DJ much, but I have good recall. These dreams will probably be worthy of my DJ.
2. Since I am free for the next two weeks I am going to have a LOT of LDs. Maybe a few every two or three every other day.I have to work on stabilizing and clarity, though. >.<
3. My dream control sucks. Period. However, I have some control if I really concentrate on it for a few seconds. My character choice takes advantage of that.

I only get on DV every other week, so I may not be able to post it by the time the mission is over with if I have it when I don't get on. Just keep that in mind.

BTW, isn't it time for a new mission? It's a bit overdue...

Don't care if it takes a long time to catch up, I just want to join! ^.^ I could probably get the first two in one dream and, if the upcoming mission is in Denn, I might be able to nail the third and the upcoming one in another dream.

I'd like to write my own tasks and such. So basically I'm just stealing your idea xD I'll probably start out with the town and the demon boy thing though, they sound good, but eventually I wanna take it in a new direction

Wait, is this like one of those games (yes I know it's a dream) where there are multiple people like an mmorpg? Becuase this very much interests me!

Should I come up with new missions every two weeks regardless of effort? The idea is to build your character.

There is no stealing. Do whatever you want, man. It's your dream!

It's an RPG, not an MMORPG, though it may get there one day.

ANYWAY, NEW TASK:

There is a treasure buried in the woods outside of Denn. Find it and claim it for your own, for you buried it for yourself to find in your past life.

Be prepared to do battle to claim it.

This is SO GREAT that someone has come up with this idea indepently from myself. I have been wanting to get back into lucid dreaming (which I did before and especially after I saw Waking Life) and I've started again because of the sole idea that I would start in my own head an RPG. It just came to me a couple days ago and since then I've bought a "Dream Journal" (queer isn't it?) to log all of my dreams, because I've realized that this is the sure fire way to have lucidity. Yeah, my idea was--instead of trying of fly and having sex with beautiful dream women--to really become a part of my dreams and pay attention to the little things, which really makes a better lucid dream. And the way I was going to fully take advantage of this GIFT (really) is to create a so called "serial" RPG in my dreams. My first task is to just have a Lucid Dream and then meet someone important and have them lead me to the first task. Thats SO AWESOME that someone has had the same idea... I dont know Im just so stoked about this.

Yeah man. It's called SYNCHRONICITY! We are synching up. So, the first thing you need to do is to create a character, and post it in the Serial Dream RPG character thread.
