Very successful LD in all regards -- length, quality and points! It was interesting to meet someone who claimed to also be lucid dreaming. Had never had that happen before. Got some good advice out of him too!
I can feel the dream recall paying off. If I had this lucid a couple of months back, I wouldn't remember half of it, but as it was I only lost a bit in the end. This is probably the best shape I've ever been in dreaming-wise.

EDIT: I think I'm still in time to choose another set of tasks for my three step? Let's go with
Task 1: Telekinesis
Task 2: Basic Summoning
Task 3: Object/DC Changing

As opposed to last set, I have never really successfully done any of these, so I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do!

You're cranking them out now! Awesome that the recall is rocking for you as well : )

Correction to the previous reply I did, that was supposed to be night 6 not 5. Threw me into a bit of confusion. Not sure if I'm able to edit it, so I correct it here.

Spoiler for Mini lucid dream:

I’m showing a dream character how to do a reality check, then realize I have extra fingers. I double check my hand to confirm that I’m dreaming. I try and stabilize by rubbing hands together, and eating strawberry. The strawberry has a faint taste, so I ask if it can be sweeter with moderate success. Then think I need to complete the epic weapon creation task but fall back into dreaming.

Spoiler for funny semi-lucid (??) inspired by Dianne's recent LD:

I'm standing in this dressing room facing out towards the curtain. Right outside the curtain there's a kid who hands me a golden chocolate coin. I look at it. It's a DB coin... I brush my thumb across the raised surface of the B to make it into a V -- a DV coin. I snap a bit off for him to eat (it's a very thick coin, like a regular chocolate bar) and he tries it and makes a face. I am about to try it when I wake up.

Having one of those fever dreams where your brain is trying to work on a weird task. As I was laying back down at 3am, I was drifting off thinking about turning lights on in a specific order for some reason.

Still some nice dream recall in terms of the amount of dreams, but nothing compared to the level detail I'm starting to get used to having.

I heavent really attempted to do my personal goals so far, i'll change that for next time. Also im adding this.

- Insert a hand into a rotary kiln's pinch point, where a spinning wheel rotates the kiln.

I went to a cement manufacturing plant with school and just seeing the pinch point where a wheel spins the the entire 50 meter long metal tube made me really uncomfortable, the idea that once a little piece of your clothing gets caught up in there you get slowly pulled in by the enormous force of the rotating tons of hot iron (1200+ °C inside) and knowing you wont and cant get out as you get curshed. Even if it gest stopped really fast, you still have a crushed burning hand that has to be amputated just so you could leave.

I may have chenged my mind after writing this down, but we'll see.

(idk how to add pictures, but you can google 'rotary kiln pinch point', it is the spot between the silver ring on the big tube and the smaller silver wheel under it)

I definitely see Stronghold (3) and Magic (1), but as for weapons: did you see any swords, axes, even rifles...etc.?
I'd love to give it for the dragon but it's a bit of stretch.
So at least it's 4 so far! (adding that 1 for you now).

No lucid but a really rare anomaly; think I almost had a WILD straight after going to bed. Looked down to my body after a few minutes and there was blood everywhere. Jumped up and it was all gone.

Spoiler for Lucid Dream:

Monday July 8th 2024

Dragons, but no smithing.

I am home looking at something on the computer. Become lucid and decide I will be leaving back to that universe I created for the competition.

BUT! Before leaving go to a random chat in one of the many discord servers I am in for lucid dreaming and tell people to do a RC, because I am dreaming right now, then leave before anyone can reply.

As soon as I arrive start falling from the sky and can see storm clouds below me. So teleport over to the other side to avoid any annoying sights and then find myself super close to the floor… end up falling face first to some rocks.

Stand up a bit confused as to why I got there to the floor first and start looking around. Everything is so rocky, there is so much wind and the clouds are basically within reach with a small jump and when looking down everything makes sense, I am really high on a mountain.

Start walking around, trying to find something to do. As I am moving around the mountain, can see in the distance the castle from before in its bright colours, except from this far away it looks orange instead of yellow and red, but I guess that makes sense given the light?

Wonder if I should be going there or just stay here, when I hear a very loud roar, loud enough as to make the smaller rocks shake a bit from the sound vibrations and obviously decide to stay here. But I am not sure when I will be waking up and how much time I have so wake myself up to check the hour.

Back to sleep.

I am back on the mountain, become lucid near instantly and not exactly sure why. Once lucid start looking around again to find where the dragon is at.

I got lucid, but wasn’t very smart as was just looking like normal instead of using Scan like normal. After a few minutes finally find a dragon, or more like the dragon finds me. I get hit by a giant rock in the head and basically it buries me a bit on the mountain floor.

Quickly lift the rock and get myself out of there while throwing the rock to the side. The dragon was just flying around and the moment it hears the rock, its head rocks back like a person hearing their name in a fast food restaurant at peak hour.

Apparently it is mad that I am still alive and I am glad that it is attacking me so openly. Teleport in front of the dragons stomach and then slap his ass back to the ground. Want to talk but first a beating, since he is so eager to fight.

The dragon is a regular western dragon type with big wings, bird type bones, yellow-ish stomach and green body overall, he is also as big as a two story house.

Fly down to where the dragon fell down, diving onto the ground just like I did and in the middle of rubble, can’t even see him. Feel some air going in so expect a fire breath coming my way and prepare to block it when I see a bright light instead and a huge ray of light comes my way.

Instinctively reach out my hand and block it; as soon as the light hits my hand it starts breaking into hundreds of smaller pieces that fly around me and then converge back, so use a barrier and block them when a big hand grabs me from below the ground.

This dragon is good but if we continue fighting may kill it accidentally. Use a bit more strength and break free and grab the dragon, lift it and toss it again against the rocky floor, then put it in place using TK.

Try to connect through telepathy with the dragon and then a huge flare comes from my side… OK I need to use Scan dang it. The flame blocks my view and my clothes start to melt so fuse them with my cells and grow them back.

The flame finally gives out and the dragons are surprised that I survived that “Yeah, I am still alive” tell them telepathically and their surprise grows larger but they are not stopping at all; another beam of white light strikes from above and the energy keeps going despite hitting me.

It is breaking through the floor and I feel like it will hurt life below me so finally stop it by extending my hand and absorbing the energy then grab all of them with TK, force them together and fly above them then place them in a void and make them submit due to lack of oxygen.

All three dragons are raging but can’t oppose me any further than they already did “Why are you attacking me?” ask the dragons, they are mad but respond humans always come here to attack them. We talk for a few minutes and I am mad at the humans now, so tell them no more humans will come here to cause disaster so long as I am in the mountain, but also explain that I will be leaving soon. They are of course mostly confused about how I talk about humans and end up waking up without doing much.

Back to sleep.

I am sitting on top of a rock and it is starting to rain. Become lucid while going down the rock and realize I am still on the mountain with the dragons.

They ask me why I passed out “Hard to explain, but it happens often” tell them and resume my normal thing. Go flying with the dragons, they really like going into the clouds and roaring and I hate the clouds so always just fly below cloud level.

Eventually, they tell me a human has come so activate Scan and teleport next to the human. I think he is hunting, as he has a rabbit with him. Show myself and tell the human to leave. He says it is going to be fine, as the army of the empire will be here soon and he is a seasoned warrior of it.

Tell him to leave again or he won’t be leaving alive. He says it is fine again and finally realizes that I am not on his side. He tells me that they will reclaim this territory and apparently believes I am from another country.

“The dragons don’t like you, leave and take your army with you” tell him, to be a bit more clear. He finally understands and he takes out his sword and says they won’t be backing down. Spit on the sword and melt it.

He then creates another one and says he won’t be scared, then comes at me. I open my mouth and then eat his sword with a single bite, lick my lips and look at him, he then creates another sword so finally grab his hand and melt his armour, his clothes and then proceed to kick him hard enough for his dead body to fall where the army is at.

They proceed to get aggressive so crush them all using hyper gravity and their own armours do the rest. Half the army dies, the other half survives but no longer want to defy the dragons. One of them, the green one I gave a good beating to comes next to me and lands “We could kill them easily” he says “Yeah, but they will destroy a lot on their way here” reply back, he agrees and goes back with his friends.

Also make sure to strengthen the creatures on the mountain to make sure they won’t be killed in the aftermath and feel like I will have to wake up again, I know this time will have to leave for work so whatever.

Night 4(Hukif)
Dream 1 - Interact, 2. Fly 5. Teleport 10. Total 17.
Dream 2 - Phase, 10. Fly, 5. Total 15.

Spoiler for Lucid Dream:

Tuesday July 9th 2024

Aha, not a good place to get lucid at.

Only slept one hour in the morning so was super sleepy. The first dream was mostly at home, was non lucid for a while and once I gained lucidity talked to family to tell them I was leaving right away.

After that started talking to another person, someone who was outside and wanted me to give them something. Gave them death mostly and flew out of the way, then teleported over to the ocean and just was on top of the water resting. Nothing else done.

Back to sleep. (This was at work)

I was at work trying to fall asleep. As soon as I did due to not sleeping right got into SP and it made me feel like there was an earthquake going on. Which made me super anxious but finally realized it was just the SP.

After that forced a WILD and walked out of the room I was in, then saw a beach outside, so walked over to the window and phased through the three crystals on it then started flying towards the beach, and just stood there to chill out.

Back to sleep.

I am back in the office. Walk out again the door and then see that the window I phased through is gone and instead there is a weird chinese like room. And to top it off, people are dancing in there. Ignore them and when they try to stop me just phase through all of them until I get past the wall and fall towards the beach that I was on before.

This time don’t have to fly but too many people. Look around and find an island not too far from me, just a few kilometres. Fly over there and then land on the place, the thing more so than an island looks like a mountain in the middle of the ocean. That’s good, since there is not really a place for people to reach through boat since there are basically cliffs everywhere. And as such, nobody is in the location. Use that to excuse myself and just chill looking at the sky.
