Yay, I picked the advanced task. Im going to try this tonight so i can keep my awesome orange name =3

[Robot_Butler]

A lucid Clairity-hug is long overdue. I can't wait.

[ninja9578]

Just a reminder, don't let anyone outside of this forum know about the tasks. Clairity only knows that the task involves her, not what it is.

[deepsleep]

I think i seen someone say something about trying to hgu her in a dream.

[Hukif]

Hugs and Cupid... another things I find hard, well, I hope I can make it at least to the polls this time lol

[panta-rei]

Just a reminder, don't let anyone outside of this forum know about the tasks. Clairity only knows that the task involves her, not what it is. Yea, sorry about that, ninja... I got close to the Clairity hug already... It'll happen soon!

[hellohihello]

I don't know what clarity looks like ! Edit, yes I now do! Wait just one darn minute! Are you trying to prove shared dreaming. What if clarity reports that she was some how hugged by a mysterious person! Bum bum bumm

[Astroman129]

I was so close to hugging Clarity. T_T So yeh, this is my dream. As I was in the play, I followed my friend, Rebecca. When the play was over, we all headed to the stairs to jump on them frequently. As we jumped, I felt tired. One of my friends fell off, so I decided not to jump anymore. One girl said "can you show me how to jump high"? I said "no, it's dangerous", but she still said "do it anyway". So I did, and she jumped so high that she hit her head on the ground and died. I was absolutely terrified. I was crying for the rest of the day. The rest of the dream went normal, and I hadn't remembered that I "killed someone". I was with a "friend" (more of an acquaintance) who threw a football at me. As I realized how inappropriate that is for her (she is a very gentle girl) I tried to breathe in my nose while it was pinched shut. It worked! I'm dreaming! Then, I thought long and hard about the dream challenges. I remembered the basic task; hug Clarity. I was on my way up to the top floor, but there was a baby in the way. I pointed to the baby and said "This baby is just what I fear so please just get it out of here". The baby left the room, but then I could see him in a YouTube video, and remembered "Oh drat. I forgot that every time something that I make disappears, it gets put into a YouTube video. Near the end, I got a glimpse of Clarity, but I just HAD to be woken up by my father.

As a newbie I see I can't do tasks yet but I thought I'd share this. During a WILD fragment on Sat night I was flying over a barren garden. I looked down a noticed a girl with dark hair. I then looked in my hand and I was holding a candelabra full of pink roses. As I'm looking at the figure she looks up at me. She had only the bottom of a face, the top was just shadow. I realized it was Clarity, or better, my minds eye showing me her avatar. I tried to descend to get a hug but I couldn't. I'm looking down trying to focus on her and I notice the roses started to wilt and then turn to ash. I awoke with a strong dark and sort of gothic feeling. I would be interested to know if this fits Clarity's persona or if I simply inferred this from something I saw. Thanks!!

I think we all owe clairity hugs great idea, even if they are dream hugs that she won't get YES!! HUG ME HUG ME!! The baby left the room, but then I could see him in a YouTube video, and remembered "Oh drat. I forgot that every time something that I make disappears, it gets put into a YouTube video. Now that's freaky! Near the end, I got a glimpse of Clarity, but I just HAD to be woken up by my father. Ooooh so close.. but you'll do it! hug clarity - sounds pretty simple, but, how do I know? I dont know who to look for o well... lets hope i get an LD tonight... wish me luck! You can find what I look like in my profile pic or there's a link to a pic of me earlier in this thread. Good luck! As a newbie I see I can't do tasks yet but I thought I'd share this. Anyone can do the tasks.. it doesn't matter if you're a newbie!

How strange that the roses started to wilt and then turn to ash! Strong dark and sort of gothic. It definately isn't Clairity's persona (online or in reallife) but perhaps you got that impression from my avatar? .

i finally became lucid again, so i was able to give it a shot. i had enough time to DEILD, so i ended up having 4 LDs in the morning, because i kept waking up, talking of which, i need to change my signiture. one of the LDs(2nd or 3rd): i was in a skate park that i know from a game, there were people skating, including some people from this site, just random people, ones i dont speak to much. like walms and someone else, i think john11. so, i was in that skate pak, but because i know it from a game, i dont know the way out, because in the game, you cant get out, so i just changed the scene, well, i changed what the building was, i changed it to a warehouse, with exits. i made a scene which would be good for shooting people, so all these monster things came, and then cupid flew in, i grabbed his bow and his arrows and i was shooting the monsters(i was shooting to kill, not for love), i dont know where cupid went, he just sort of dissapeared when i turned around. then i woke up. after i woke up, i DEILDed again to try and hug clairity, but the monsters were still there, and i made them dissapear, but they kept coming back for some reason, i coudnt get rid of them and it was annoying to i woke up. so i failed that one.

[ninja9578]

nicely done sir

[Clairity]

after i woke up, i DEILDed again to try and hug clairity, but the monsters were still there, and i made them dissapear, but they kept coming back for some reason, i coudnt get rid of them and it was annoying to i woke up. so i failed that one. Yup.. Clairity and monsters don't mix! But I'm still waiting to hug you! .

[slash112]

Yup.. Clairity and monsters don't mix! But I'm still waiting to hug you! . ill try, i dont think i need to get up early for any reason tommorow, so if i get the chance, ill DEILD again and you'll get your hug

well I sorta managed to do it a couple nights ago while I was on holiday. heres how it went. I was in a public bathroom and i accidently walked into someone staring at the mirror. it was kinda odd because i literally walked into them! I stared in the mirror and saw the guy i bumped into earlier. i decided to document what had happened in my DJ (i thought i had woken up) when another person walked in and explained that I was still dreaming. he proved it to me by making rats appear on the floor. Anyway, I ran out of the bathroom, and remembered what i had to do. i spun around until i was inside a room filled with classy furniture. I saw two people, one covered with jewellery like she was some sort of egyptian princess... the other with dark brown hair in a ponytail, a black top and a cream skirt... I think. I asked if one of them was clairity, the first replied "no. I'm beautiful" the other said "yeah, call me claire" I walked up to her, and gave her a huge hug.. the rest of my dream kinda gets really random where the president of america is jack black now wouldn't that be awesome?? yeah. thanks to whoever helped me realise i was still dreaming, i owe you one haha

[ninja9578]

JET73L, I overlooked your post, you'll get wings soon

[JET73L]

JET73L, I overlooked your post, you'll get wings soon Cool, thanks. In case the other dream didn't count towards the advanced task, I spent last night in the few minutes before i fell asleep smacking Cupid with a walking stick until he dropped the bow and ran away, then using the bow. Unfortunately, I was right last night: I wouldn't remember any dream this morning. I did have a feeling like i'd just done something cool, so I may have usurped a god's power, probably Cupid. So, here's to the hope that I'll be able to dream and remember the advanced task tonight! Also, i'm trying to combine the Temple of Zeus and Cupid's Bow into one task. Not working so far.
