Does it matter that somebody already did this task? Can I dare people now?

Also, my phone keeps wanting to "correct" me to say I want to *date* people


SammyTheSnake

The 'anyone' dares don't expire, so you can definitely 'date' people now!

I'll read your entry when I have time a bit later, but congrats and welcome!

Nice falling you two!

Yay! A'ight, y'all want some dares?

I tried being creative with these dares, since I myself love dream goals that feel like they have some sort of meaning behind them. If you agree, make sure you check out the backstories!

Gearing my dares towards people in the competition (good luck to every one of you, by the way^^), so you guys call me out if you feel it's unbalanced/some are too difficult (they are all a bit moderately difficult looking back, but if you all accept it, I'm rolling with it).

Hopefully the everyone dare is interesting enough for the people/teams I didn't dare, if you guys are willing to try it.

~ Dreamer ~:

Spoiler for Fancy backstory:

Everyone knows, you are DreamViews' local purple gal. However, you yourself feel a slight disappointment in the lack of purple in your everyday life. Especially in our very home DreamViews! I mean, everything's blue, what the heck is that all about?
To fill that empty hole in your heart lacking of purple, visit to a universe that's entirely purple during a lucid dream using any means necessary. That's right--the ground, the buildings, even the people--everything will be all purple! You can do whatever you want after this point, but stay in this purple world for the entire length of the dream (though I won't kill you if you DEILD out of it).

TL;DR: Visit purple universe, stay in it for entire dream length.

Sensei:

Spoiler for Fancy backstory:

means teacher in Japanese, and you are a reliable Dream Guide with a lot of lucid dreaming experience under his belt. But the next person you will be teaching about lucid dreaming will be an unusual one. There is a new member in the DreamViews Academy today--and he's been assigned to you as his mentor, and his dream guide.
Who is he? You, of course.
You have multiple tasks. In a lucid dream, meet your past self through any means necessary (we're talking from a time in your life you had no or little lucid dreaming experience). You must first successfully convince him that he is dreaming, then become his dream guide and teach him a lucid dreaming skill (Can be anything, but something dream control-related would probably be easiest, like teaching him how to fly). You can alternatively guide him through whatever he's doing in the dream.
Get creative, I'm gonna give you a lot of free will here.

TL;DR: Meet your past self, convince him he's dreaming, and teach him something LD-relevant. Can be anything, even if it's something basic.

StephL:

Spoiler for Fancy backstory:

From day one in DreamViews, you have been the mysterious dreaming cat. However, some people wonder--is that really a cat? She can't be a cat, can she? You are very frustrated by this unspoken suspicion, but although there are not many ways to prove your catliness, there is but one hope left.
Cats have nine lives, but humans only have one. In a lucid dream, your job is to prove you're a cat by surviving something potentially fatal--such as being shot, being struck by something, falling from a large height (though I don't know if this one in particular is allowed given Xanous dared it, so avoid doing this since it might be a bit overpowered.), or anything else you can think of--and live through it unaffected. In other words, you must survive without the dream scene changing or waking up.

Bonus points if you do this while transformed into a cat, but since this will give you a whopping amount of points in the competition, I figured I'd leave this decision up to you.

TL;DR: Endure something fatal without dying--e.g. without the dream scene changing or waking up. Bonus points if you're a cat while doing so.

Everyone:

Spoiler for Fancy backstory:

here has obviously taken an interest in lucid dreaming by signing up to this website. In fact, it's not unheard of that sometimes people are so interested in lucid dreaming, they dream about lucid dreaming! But what about taking this to the next level?
Yeah, it can be weird and even frustrating when we dream about lucid dreaming, but it's a much different story when we lucid dream about lucid dreaming. To some people, the dream scene will only change--to others, your subconscious can seriously throw you off as to what's going on, and can make for a much more interesting dream.
Your (yes, I'm looking at you, reader) job is to induce a lucid dream while lucid dreaming using any means necessary--Inception-style. You can attempt a proper WILD, you can invent a whole new lucid dreaming technique within the dream, or you can simply just go into bed and hope for the best.
You're welcome to go 'more layers' down and to experiment, but you're successful if you managed to at least basically simulate lucid dreaming within a lucid dream.

TL;DR: Inception.

Again, let me know if those are too hard, otherwise, good luck!

Uuui - I'm soo excited! Thank you for choosing me, too - I've been incubating Brussels sprouts for a while now, but my unconscious seems to know how they taste and chooses to ignore my conscious ideas there...

My would I love to do a full catty transformation!!
Up to now I only had my arm turn into a blind swan - manifesting my inner cat it is this time!! pawprint.gif

This is great - and I'll do my catty best to survive unscathed by whatever I'll decide to put myself through while keeping up the dream!
As soon as I have some lethal ideas - I will inform you!
Maybe a lightning strike..? I've never really tried for pain - it's fascinating, but I guess, I'll survive without it - but feeling electrified sounds like fun...

Awesome ideas Maxis, thanks for putting the time into thinking of these personalised dares!

I will gladly accept mine! Purple world, here I come!
Maybe I can shave my head and fight a purple Sensei while I'm there to get all my dares done in one! :pillowfight:

Awesome dare maxis! Sounds like it will be a lot of fun.

Dreamer. I am gonna have to do a multi-dare goal as well. Lol. Get them all done in one fell swoop.

I've been busy the last few days, but at last, here are my dares! :-D

I DARE:

Antoia: Re-meet the "wind god" from this DJ entry and kick his arse for smirking at your girly throw. Bonus kudos if you can beat him in some amusingly ironic way.

Greendrive: Engage in hand-to-hand combat with a ninja dragon.

JoannaB: Defeat your stress-related disaster dreams. Conjure up a tsunami / hurricane / monster / armed psycho / whatever scares you. Stand your ground, smile, pacify, befriend.

Anyone: Recall a dream you wish you'd been lucid in. Re-enact it, but lucid this time!

SammyTheSnake

Cool dares, Sammy!
Have you let them know to come check out the thread?
Congrats again on your successful LD!

Haha, wow, nice dare! I don't even remember what the god looks like, but I'm sure I'll find him somehow anyway. The mind works in mysterious ways

Cool!! Even thinking about it sounds fun!!

I did my first little attempt at it - but didn't make it farther than weather-witching dark clouds and rain and a bit of storm - conjuring the lightning strikes eluded me, unfortunately. So did physical cattiness - I'm working on it, though! pawprint.gif

I sent a PM to each of them, so hopefully they'll find it :-)

Thanks for the congrats :-)

SammyTheSnake

Ooh Maxis! I am such a coward! So I was on suicide mission again last night, and this time I managed a huge thunderstorm, it was beautiful - the whole sky full of lightning bolts, and I knew, I only need to draw one mentally and it'll hit me. And I didn't!!

Being afraid it might hurt - damn. Next time, I'm getting there! Been trying to transform as well, what I managed was going on all fours without having the feeling of awkwardness - I also looked a bit smoky whitish translucent, like my avatar, but it wasn't very convincing.
So this dare is a good piece of work for me here!! Huge thank you again Maxis - I love it difficult!
But a great dream - very long lucid for my usual state of affairs, even with DEILD, but I didn't give it a second go at thunderstorm.

Maybe I chose that a bit too close to home - having survived a thunderstorm on a mountain in about 2000 m height, that was a close thing. I was with friends and one of them almost hooked his karabiner into an iron ladder, over which we would have had to get, to then climb down to a hut on the other side of the rock, which had the ladder. He said his hair stood on end, we all felt it a bit later and shortly after that, lightning struck the ladder - with us only meters off.
Total white-out and the noise - you wouldn't believe, literally deafening... We moved faster than ever before, throwing our climbing equipment (metal) from us in concert, taking shelter - it felt like completely on auto-pilot, and as if time had stopped. We waited the worst of it out in the shadow of some big rocks instead of going on to that hut. He saved our lives - we could have all four been in the rope by the time it struck, all dead.

But now I want it - falling into a sword would be easier for me, I'm pretty sure - but now I want this!!



^^was approximately like this - less blue and a bit less bolts as well, not much less, though...


If it wasn't for DV and I would maybe learn LDing on my own - I don't think, I would grapple with such things, I wouldn't so much test out my borders, my psychological borders, like this fear - and neither the technical ones.

All hail to the community!!

Awesome attempt, and I'm especially glad you're liking the dare! Good luck for next time.

I am pleased to announce that I completed my Super Advanced Fart dare from Dreamer! We have lift-off!

My body isn’t giving me “the signal” that anything can be conjured up. I know that this is a dream, though, so I convince myself that a bubble of pressure is forming in my stomach. Once that’s there, a good push sends me into a full eruption. The emerging fart is ultra loud and super powerful, lifting me gently into the air. It feels like there’s a hand or a platform under my butt lifting me upward. I wobble around unsteadily in the air, leaning left and right and bobbing a bit. It feels like I have a jet pack on.

I’d hoped to have enough propulsion to reach lower earth orbit, but I never get more than 15-20 feet off the ground. As the “event” ends, I settle back down to the ground. Dare achieved!

I do indeed like it a lot - the plan now is to get hit as a human and have that transform me into a cat! Seems this all takes a while - but I won't let it drop!

Aand - congrats Canis - good luck with further advanced farting!

Well it took a while but I did Dreamer's dare to all of nudity, I pulled my pants down in front of a girl DC in order for some "action", she sort of leans away from me but I Jedi mind trick her and she leans in and the dream ends. I wish I'd gotten to my personal dare of a fireball , next time!

FryingMan - you have an avatar!!
You among the Yogi's now?

A Bogart, that would be ridikilous! sounds like a ton of fun.

I completed Maxis' dare the other night, but I'm still trying to decide on my dares for others.
I'll post them after I've had a think!

I have re-read this quote a few times when visiting this thread, and it makes me laugh every time!

Are you going to post some dares of your own?

Congrats on completing your dare! I love this hilarious dream!
And I'm so pleased that your fart incubation led to non-lucid farting dreams as well!

Can't wait to build a couch fort and blast it away with my thunderous butt trumpet!

Well done for facing your fear of bees, Percy! I'm so pleased to hear the bee was friendly!

Oh boy, I should have seen the doctor coming... Time for me to face my own fear! You have an annoyingly good memory, haha.
I will definitely take on this challenge!

Awesome work, everyone! These dares require both incubation and dream control, and you are totally rocking them!

To fill that empty hole in your heart lacking of purple, visit to a universe that's entirely purple during a lucid dream using any means necessary. That's right--the ground, the buildings, even the people--everything will be all purple! You can do whatever you want after this point, but stay in this purple world for the entire length of the dream (though I won't kill you if you DEILD out of it).

TL;DR: Visit purple universe, stay in it for entire dream length.

I created a purple world, but I forgot I had to stay there for the entire duration of the dream... I did DEILD halfway though, so technically one dream ended! Let me know if this is acceptable... I had to work pretty hard to perfect this one!

Full dream: Purple Palace

As we flew, I told CanisLucidus that I had to think about my lucid goals for a moment. I knew I had a few Lucid Dares to complete, so I tried to think of what they were. The first one I remembered was Maxis' dare to explore a fully purple world.
Canis and I were both on the lookout for an entrance to the purple world. I saw a purple castle in the distance, so we started flying towards it. We landed and walked through the front gate. We found ourselves in a living room where everything was already purple: purple carpet, purple couches, purple cushions scattered across the floor, a purple coffee table, a purple cupboard and display area, a large purple picture frame with a weird collage of wine glasses merged with upside down birthday cakes, and there was another purple room off to the side, perhaps like a kitchen, but I didn't explore it. I was feeling pleased that my dream had done all the work for me, but when I had a closer look at the cushions, I noticed that they each had purple satin covers, but there was a tiny fold in each with a strip of red in the corner.
Before dealing with this unwelcome colour, I remembered I wanted to try incorporating a task of the month into this dare: Bonus Task - Apply a Photoshop effect to your dream scene. I wanted to try playing with the saturation, so I tried using my finger as a slider. I moved my finger up, and the dream responded ever so slightly with increased saturation, but not to the degree I was hoping for.
I noticed some random DCs milling around the room now, and I thought of asking them to teach me a foreign word for Basic Task i - Ask a DC to tell you a word in a different language and its meaning.
I felt the dream destabilising and fading away. I was feeling really confident after my successful DEILD, so I relaxed and convinced myself that I would return to the dream very shortly to complete the dare.

DEILD:
Everything went black and I felt myself back in my bed. I focused on visualising the purple room.
My body felt numb and tingly, and my vision of the room returned very quickly.
There didn't seem to be much of a transition period this time, and I felt like I was back in my dream body almost immediately. I wasn't going to let this dream get away from me before I completed my dare, so I got straight back to the task at hand.
I looked around the room and it was almost the same as before, except the picture frame had been replaced with a mirror.
I looked down at the cushions and saw they still had the tiny red strips on them. I tried looking away and looking back a few times to try to change them to purple, but the red was sticking. I realised I was going to have to do this manually. I picked up a cushion and peeled back the fold to reveal the full strip of red. I flicked my finger like a wand while saying, "Purple!" and the red corner became purple. I turned to face the other cushions and flicked my finger at each of them, turning them purple one by one.
I felt accomplished now that everything in the room was purple, but I went back over the dare in my head to make sure I hadn't missed anything. I remembered that the dare specified that people's skin should also be purple.
I realised that I hadn't seen CanisLucidus in the room since returning to the dream, so I affirmed that he would be right behind me when I looked around, with purple skin. Sure enough, when I turned around, Canis was standing there, completely purple: his skin, hair and clothes.
I looked down at my own arm and realised that my skin was still its normal colour, so I used my finger wand again and said, "Purple!" and my skin became purple with a slight sheen, like a custom Sims skin.
I walked over to the mirror to check my appearance. My hair and body was purple, but my face was still its usual colour. I noticed some lumpy scabs under my hair which disturbed me at first, but I tried not to get distracted by them. I rubbed my hands over my face to paint it purple. It came out really shiny, more like normal paint than face paint. I noticed there was a patch missing on my neck/chest, so I painted that with my hands too, so I was now completely purple.
I saw that the frame of the mirror was like golden painted wood, so I used my finger wand a final time to turn the frame purple.
I looked around the room and was happy to see that there were no stray colours - I was completely surrounded by purple, from top to bottom.
I walked up to Purple Canis and took his hand. My hand felt kind of sweaty from the paint, but I didn't care because Canis felt like he had shiny paint on him already. We flew around the room together and spun around in a hug like before. We enjoyed just dwelling in this purple world for a little while, and I thought it was crazy how long this dream chain was lasting.

I felt like I still had a decent amount of dream time left (I forgot that I was supposed to stay in the purple world for the duration of the dream... I'm hoping my effort still counts!) so Canis and I flew out of the castle to embark on a new adventure. I looked back as we flew away, and saw that the exterior of the castle was still purple, but the rest of my dreamworld was returning to its normal colours.

I'm going to post my dares now, but if Maxis would like me to redo the dare without leaving the purple world, I'll give it another go!

I DARE:

CanisLucidus: Take your exploration of lucid bodily functions to the next level and do a Super Advanced Poo... mousse style!
(You had to know this was coming!)

lucidmats: Passionately make out with a male DC.

SammyTheSnake: Unleash your inner (dare-induced) sleaze on the nearest female DC. Do everything obnoxious that springs to mind - winking, wolf whistling, boobie honking, the whole shebang! How does she react?

Anyone: Do a 'trust fall' (free fall backwards) into the arms of the nearest DC. Did they catch you?

I will try to think of a return dare for Maxis in the future. Hopefully with a fancy back-story!
I've got a dare up my sleeve for dutchraptor next time, too. So hard to choose only 3 people!
