Thread: Lucid Dares

Just an update - I want to delete the Obama-part of Sivason's dare, that's too much, upon second thought.

Would anyone mind daring me to do anything? Might give me that boost of motivation needed to get into a decent LD Thankies

Give it your full attention for as long as you can, spend at least 5 minutes on this spot, or as long as you can. In your DJ describe at least 20 different objects you saw, or fewer things but in great detail. I want to see around a full page of DJ describing your findings. (Fryingman)
• Ride a dolphin while it's jumping out of the water. (Dolphin)

Edit: I think I may get naked in front of a DC if I remember that one dare

Ah, I see. Nevermind then, I skipped that part of the OP.

Well, the dare got me a non-lucid related to space and astronauts. I can't remember the details, but it's at least something.

Yay! I had a Semi-lucid planning how I'm going to do the fractal dare where actually I accomplished to do it, but I wasn't fully aware I was already dreaming... Perhaps next time.

Granted


Note: And I thought I was extending myself too much at the time of giving dares, but you surpassed me

It is time for me to get some more of these done, especially since I have 2 outstanding personal dares to work on, so I will be daring you soon. Let's say... start incubating dragons You might need to face one :p

Well, I must say, honestly I did not see this coming... I have not been incubating at all lately due having other stuff in my mind... and with yesterday message I was just saying, "I had to work into it" but not actually that I planned to... Especially last night, as today I am going to pick up a new car and got other things to do too... But, I woke up in the middle of the night, went to the bathroom and then just got back into bed, I was thinking about the new car and nothing else, but came out to turn lucid and complete my two dares:

Spoiler for Making out with a Giant and traveling inside her brain.:

Making out with a Giant and traveling inside her brain (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in my old house, when I used to live with my parents. The room looked different though. I had barely just a bed and a wooden table, said table was clear and pretty much empty (I believe it just had a lamp and that's all.) The light in the room was very dim and the door was closed. The door had a metallic door knob that looked like this:







Suddenly, the door know started to grow and it had an evil looking face, it would grow larger and approach at me. I immediately realized I was dreaming as this was a classic nightmare I used to have when I was a small kid, which I found funny to dream that out of nowhere. As I was lucid, the door knob said, "Lucid Nightmare, yes?" I told the knob that screw that and just jumped out of the window and started to fly.

It was night and there was little to no lightning at the street. I saw a female DC that was on the street and I approached her but she freak out, started to scream and ran away. I took a nice stroll (this time I did not fly for some reason, weird for me) and I was gazing at a sky full of stars. I suddenly saw in front of me a very hot DC, but she was huge, like eight feet tall. I felt like lucid sex and realized that this was an actual dare, as I remember I needed to stare for over one minute, so I pulled her pants and panties down and stared into her privates for a while, in addition of playing with them (I won't be graphic) but it was for over a minute. I also recalled that the exact wording was to look into her eyes, so I also looked into her eyes and made out for a while, over a minute without waking up (So I guess I have to say, FryingMan, you were right and Stephen LaBerge was wrong with this... first time I focus on staring and I did not wake up, as the dream continues...)

After a while making out, I recalled my last dare to go, to go inside a DC's brain and find a DC within representing an emotion. I did not find any hardships on this as I would think in real life. I asked her, "Can I go inside of your brain now?" She accepted and she hugged me. I felt like pulled inside her body and suddenly, the dream went blank. I felt I was going to wake up but I started to spin to bring stability. I saw a giant brain in front of me, or most likely, I shrunk to a tiny size:







I started to fly towards it to enter it. As I approached the brain, I felt how the imaginary changed. I was flying like through a sea of neurons, that looked pretty much like space. I landed on one of the connectors that interwined one neuron with another and I could see around a lot of energy, and even like stars:







After a while, I kept flying until I entered, I believe, a neuron. I landed and there was a DC dressed in a business professional attire. I asked him what emotion he did represent, and he replied, "Feeling of happiness." I kind of felt it was a bit of weird form to represent happiness but... oh well, that is what came out from this dare and it was now completed.

As I kept exploring the brain, I tried to recall more dares, realizing that I had no personal dares to do and I was not able to recall any of the anyone dares. I believed there was something to do with an armor and being a knight (which there is none) but I could not recall more so I figured it was not a dare.

Suddenly, I felt like if I was in some sort of forest, but I believe I was still inside the brain because I saw neurons. However, I could see the sky with millions of stars, but instead of blackness, it had a faded reddish color, which I found to be pretty amazing. I felt like flying there and check it out, but I woke up.

So is my time to load you guys with more work, and get more people involved into this. Two dares, completed, so six personal dares and two anyone:

SarcasticIndeed: You witness a massive treasure, but you realize it is not as easy as that, and you fear that is Smaugh's treasure, however, you start feeling cold sweats as you see the dead body of Smaugh, torn to pieces... something is going on, something bad... until you hear a massive dragon roar and Tiamat starts attacking you. Defeat him.

Maxis: Make you awareness go beyond lucidity (what is called super-lucid) where you are beyond the dream word, where you are just consciousness and meditate in the void of nothingness.
Nfri: Once lucid, visited the University of Lucidity. Assist to a class where dream stabilization and anchoring dreams (to extend your lucids) are taught. Report your findings.
Anyone: Find area 51 and make friends with an ET.

Box77: Find the necronomicon (Book of the Dead) and read a page or two. Raise some zombies if you can.
Verre: Dive deep into the ocean and find a Sunken City. Mermaids live there. Join them and make friends.
Schmaven: By all means, create colors and/or visual effects that are not capable by human naked eye.
[b]Anyone[/b}: By any means, enter the vault of a bank. Besides cash, you find some interesting stuff. What did you find?

So, time to get busy!!

This is exactly what I was hoping for, Box!!
So proud of you - especially that you tried it again, I've been so tempted to give you the dare upon first attempt, but now I know, it was the right thing not to!

For everybody too lazy to click:

While I'm waiting for the dream to properly 'materialize'. I look for an image of a fractal where I could start this task. The whole floor turns into a cut shell structure like this:



I'm standing on the lines and notice it's diffracting in small portions of the same pattern to the borders like the borders of a crocheted doily.



I go there thinking that in order to perform the task, I must dive into those small structures. I think I have to zoom into those structures in order to do so. I knee on the web of lines and stare deeper into the structure. It doesn't take too much until I'm inside a huge 3D fractal structure of the same pattern. I think this is going to be awesome when I'm fully lucid. I turn on my back thinking that it's the best image I could come up with. When a thought (those very imaginative thoughts that only show up when I'm dreaming) gets into my mind: "What about if I cheat it? I mean, I could jump into foam bubbles and wallow on it! That's a fractal too". Then I remember it should be a romanesco and the task would be awesome too, like this one shell like pattern I'm wallowing on right now. I wallow extremely happy on this structure.

Beautiful!! "Extremely happy wallowing" on fractal structures - you've hit bullseye with this dream, that's exactly what I was intending!


@Percy: Hehe - cheers! Got to read your dreams yet, and will - sounds like great exploits again, maestro!

Awesome job completing my dare, Percy! I knew you could do it.

Ooh, Percy, that sounds fun. Tbh since I'm not experienced at LD-ing, it will be hard, but I'll try my best. Thanks

Do you prefer a softer dragon? :p I really want the dares done, so you can give me a few ideas and I can pick up one and change it, no problem... Tiamat will be waiting for you for the future, he has a life spawn of about 10K years, so no problem!

Honestly, I really like the dare. I'll focus on it. If I don't seem to be making any progress I'll tell you so you can give me something a bit less intimidating

So then, shall I give Box's dream for valid? Since he said he was semi-lucid... up to you If so, I will update the OP and Box, post your dares

Also, thanks a lot I REALLY did not see that coming... prove is that I did not even remember any anyone dare's, but now I am studying the remaining ones that I have not completed... and the new ToTM will be out soon, so let's see if they go well together.

Yes, please Percy - give it to him!

"I just know that I'm not awake"
"I go there thinking that in order to perform the task, I must dive into those small structures. I think I have to zoom into those structures in order to do so."
""What about if I cheat it? I mean, I could jump into foam bubbles and wallow on it! That's a fractal too". Then I remember it should be a romanesco ..."

I think, Box is being hard on himself with "not really lucid", I for one am satisfied, sounds more lucid than semi to me, his thought-processes!

Yup, I was re-reading the dream... 100% valid.

Okay Box, time to post your dares and to start looking for the Necronomicon to raise some zombies

Well, the only part that I feel is lacking to say I was fully lucid, is that part where I use to say celebrate, it's a dream! Otherwise I might say I've successfully completed it because of the view of the skeleton-like structure against a sky-bluish background was simply awesome. Thanks Steph! So, I'll have to think about my new dares then. I have a couple of ideas in mind, although I must think who am I going to dare this time...

@StephL: Are you still 'out of service' or may I include you in my next list?

@SarcasticIndeed: You better prepare yourself because of definitively you're in my list

@PercyLucid: I have my card under the sleeve to complete your dare... well, if I got to find that room again

You may dare me, Box - yup!
I'm meanwhile black again in the OP, too.
Uuuiii - pleeease!

Awesome, can't wait to see how did you find it and what happened next

I've changed my name to red in the OP for now so I don't get a backlog of too many dares.
I am still looking forward to completing my current dares, but I might take a while to get through them while I focus my attention on learning WILD/DEILD instead of incubating specific goals.

I'm really enjoying seeing you guys complete your lucid dares, keep it up!
My housemate actually completed one recently, I'll get him to post in this thread soon.

Ha!
I've always had the impression, from the corner of my eye, that your avatar would blink at me, Dreamer, and I've always been too impatient and not really expecting a gif in it to look long enough. But it does!!
Can't be said often enough, Dreamer - I view this thread as one of the main attractions on the board, congratulation and thanks to you and Percy for running this!

It hasn't always been animated, I was hoping to catch people by surprise to spark some RCs!
Just after I had the idea (but before I'd done it), Hyu had a dream where that exact thing happened, so I really wanted to do it in waking life!
Timbo59 was nice enough to make the GIF for me.

I'm so glad you're enjoying it, that makes me happy!
And yes, thank you Percy for keeping the OP updated!

It is a huge pleasure to give a hand Indeed this thread needs to become a bigger attraction. Sometimes I prompt new users to visit this section and join the fun!

Hmmm... I'm still looking for my third member to dare... any suggestions? Volunteers?
