"A lucid dream is a dream in which the sleeper is aware that she or he is dreaming."
" When the dreamer is lucid, she or he can actively participate in and often manipulate the imaginary experiences in the dream environment."
"Lucid dreams can seem extremely real and vivid depending on a person's level of self-awareness during the lucid dream."
Welcome To Lucid Dreaming
Lucid Dreaming is a "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure" game.
Much like The Endless Forest: It has no goal.
If you choose to participate, then you are Lucid Dreaming.
Every night you choose to Lucid Dream you will wake up in a dream.
The setting may be familiar, or completely foreign.
You know that you are dreaming.
Throughout your journey you will be presented with certain scenarios.
I am your guide to these scenarios and will inform you of the consequences of your choices and actions.
Guidelines of Lucid Dreaming:
-At Any time you may wake up. You know how to do this. It might be pinching yourself, or realizing it is a dream, or jumping from something tall. It is personal.
-If you willingly wake up you will have the choice to continue from a specific point from a previous night of your choosing.
-You enter the dream world with a certain level of stress from One to Twenty.
What number you enter with is based on your actual level of stress when you join.
Be honest.
Lying to give yourself more courage will not improve the game for you.
With each reaction to a scenario or action taken you will evaluate how you are feeling.
If you are nervous, scared, or stressed out enough to reach 20, you must leave the dream.
If you are forced out by stress, you will not remember anything from the dream that night.
You may be forced out by "dying" in the dream.
-You may only enter the dream once per night.
-You may be presented with very personal, unnerving, scary, or disturbing settings or situations.
-Some times you will be prompted to provide information.
For example: "This room contains the animal you fear the most. What is it?"
"A pet you loved dearly that passed away is in front of you-describe them"
"A deer has come to join your side, who is it?"
You can choose to answer, or leave the dream.
-Each night will vary in it's length.
An approximate time of each Night will be given when the game is posted.
You have until that time to enter the dream and voluntarily wake up before the night ends.
If you do not voluntarily wake up in the time period you will not retain any information from that night.
You may still participate the next night.
-Everyone speaks the same language in dreams
Everyone in a dream, regardless of what language they are speaking, are speaking a language that you under stand. They may clearly be a foreign individual speaking a foreign tongue, but you will know what they are saying.
-You can manipulate the dream.
You may be as grand or as minute as you wish to be. If you need something you can get it. This is a dream.
however...
-You are yourself.
You only have the skills, abilities, and information that you do at the exact moment you enter the dream that night.
Entering the dream world will not magically give you the ability to play the violin.
You might be able to do something absurd as flying, but you cannot suddenly become a good basketball player.
You are limited in this regard.
-You have two hands.
You can pick up items you might find in the dream. You can retain these items for that night, but have no where to store them. You may carry two small items, or one large item. These items may or may not come in handy.
-You are alone.
You may be in the same setting as another player, but you are alone. You cannot see or communicate with them at this point in time.
Depending on the actions of the players a setting where mutual dreaming may become available. For now: Focus on surviving on your own.
-Your Guide can be slow at times
Depending on what I am doing in real life OR the amount of participants it might take some time to get to your situation or reactions.
Be patient.
-Each night you start in the same default setting unless you have requested one.
You may then explore from the default setting. It is just the 'base point' for all new dreamers.
- At times you may be required to fulfill an obligation or perform a task before you may move on.
Guidelines of The Mansion:
-When you enter the mansion you will be assigned to a team.
Your team will be your savior if you happen to die in the mansion.
-Your mission is to explore the mansion
How you do this is up to you. You may go off on your own or stick close to your team-mates.
-If you die you will become a poltergeist
You cannot manifest your old form or speak.
You must rely on your ability to levitate and manipulate objects to lead your team mates to retrieve your body.
When your body is placed in the main hall you will be revived.
-The mansion is only available until between 10:30 pm EST and 11:00 pm EST unless otherwise noted.

Returning players, please also answer the following question:
How Are you Feeling? (1-20) [/s]

Oh Yes: should you stumble
should you stumble across this during the "Day" after the night is over: don't worry.
It will be night again some time in the future again and you will have your chance to play then.
Sadly Night/Day goes around my schedule since I'm playing Guide.
Later if an active following is gained another member can host a 'Night' and dictate the dreams.
The probable times for it to be night if I'm handling the game:
Friday+ The weekend. (Any time)
Monday afternoons (10 am to 4 pm EST)
Tuesday evenings (3 pm to 5 pm EST)
Wednesday morning-afternoon (9 am to 4 pm EST)

BUT I have a question first:
To start for today, how exactly do I answer?
I know to pick a color first, but do I just answer yes or no? Or what? *is slow today sorry T^T*
Yep. Just a yes/no answer.
awesome sauce. Yes. (wewt
Yes.

It is the first night. You
It is the first night.
You open your eyes.
You are in your room laying in bed.
You are unsure whether you are dreaming or not.
Perform a Reality Check to make sure.
Unsure if I'm dreaming or not
My ring finger appears to be missing.
Definitely dreaming.
(just let me know if I start doing something incorrectly, I'll catch on rather quick after a post or two |D)
(No problems. There really is
The room you are standing in is only slightly bigger than a college dorm. At first glance it seemed to resemble your room, but as you glanced back up it changed on you.
There is a window on one side of the room and a door on the other. You are standing by the bed on the left wall.
The right wall has a closet with a soft dripping sound coming from the inside.
Next to the closet is a dresser.
In the center of the room is a pad of paper, a pencil, a candle, and a goldfish in a bowl.
How are you feeling, (Scale of 1-20 whats your stress) what do you do?
You may examine anything in the room closer.
I have been feeling rather
(About 15 minutes until Day.
You can see the first glimpse of sunlight coming over the horizon.
It will be day soon.
You seem to be in a room at the top of a large building. The ledge of the window sticks out too far for you to see directly down and examine further.
Looking out you can see a forest and a swamp in the distance. There is very little wind and it is pleasantly cool. You can see a strange structure in the distance but it is impossible to tell whether it is another building or a landmark.
(perfect timing, I have
Frustrated that I can't see what is at the bottom of the building, I open the window and try to lean over to see. i have always been a curious being, and certainly being in a large building surrounded by swamp and forest would pique my curiosity.
In hindsight, this wasn't a smart idea. I tumble out of the window and before I hit the ground, I jolt awake.
Indignant at my one chance at some good sleep this week being brought to an unpleasant end I grumpily remark "Gravity should be outlawed in dreams."
and that's my adventure for today...I mean tonight XD
Hope you had fun. Not the
Not the most thrilling adventure, but you can pick up right where you left off.
You'll be back in the room (its the default starting spot) and can poke around and explore more.
Yeah it was fun. Unique I
I'll definitely try coming back on Friday, I have the whole afternoon off C:
So do I. I gotta go pick up
I gotta go pick up my new car from auction though.
So it'll probably end up being short night- day for a while- back to night when I get back.
More people I figure will be on then I figure with the weekend close and all.

Your room looks just as it does when you are awake.
You can hear steps from the next room over.
The door is closed.
How are you feeling? (1-20)
Do you want to pick up and take anything with you?

You are standing right in front of the light.
It is an illuminated set of numbers that are blinking.
"12:00"

How curious.
You have discovered an alarm clock.

Sorry, today was unexpectedly stupid busy.
Tally, it's on until midnight EST as of right now.

The steps cease and there is a bright light outside of the closed door visible under the cracks.
You can faintly hear chiming sound from beyond and birds singing.
...I find a friggin' alarm
Balls.
Determined not to be discouraged, I pick up the alarm clock - I search to see if there is a power cable, or if it's battery operated.
It has no power cable. Or
Or batteries.
In fact, there seems to be no indication as to how it is even functioning.
The clock now is blinking

Maybe it is taunting you.

Just to see how much taunting a clock is willing to do. I mean, if it's a clock that's aware, I should..well, be aware of that fact.

Okay. So the clock is now thoroughly pissed at me. I'm pissed at it too, so it balances out.
Seeing as the clock is no longer functioning and I now have zero light - because I'm an instigating prat - I reach out to see if I can find what the clock was sitting on.
