"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.

How Are you Feeling? (1-20) [/s]
Using Jost as a light you are
Using Jost as a light you are able to see that there is a brass plate behind the knocker to make it louder.
There is not much else to it.
_________________________________________________________________________________
There is a branch above your head.
You are not sure if you can grab it though.
If you are taller than 5'5 inches (165 cm) you can grab the branch.
Otherwise you will have to find another way to escape.
Figuring that either I knock
My mama taught me manners, see.
There is a short pause before
There is a short pause before a hesitant knock answers on the other side.
Jost flashes and seems to spin through numbers before settling on a concise "????"
I share Jost's sentiments.
"Dear Person on the other side,
"I'm knocking at you. You're not supposed to knock back. Please check your script and try again."
I wait a good thirty seconds...and then knock again.
I can almost reach it, but
There is knocking again.
There is knocking again.
Followed by snickering.
"Tap-Tap-Tap-TapTap...TAPTAP!"
Someone on the other side of that door seems to want their ass beat.
You peer to the side and can
You can also see some white sticks that seem sturdy enough if you can pull your arms free.
The will-o-wisps seem to have gotten bored of you. It would be unwise to flail around least they find you interesting again.
I look at Jost calmly,
"That wasn't morse code, was it?"
...what? It's a perfectly legitimate question.
I carefully tug my hands inch
Jost seems to be in thought
Well you assume so.
It is just sitting there, so it must be thinking.
After a few seconds it gives off a whirling click followed by a happy little alarm chime that sounds suspiciously like "Shave and a hair cut-2 bits!" before blinking at 00:00.
Utter nonsense it seems.
The sticks are slimy but you can grasp it easily. They groan and crack a little as you pull yourself towards the shore. There are more ivory limbs protruding from closer to shore and you can feel strangely circular stones under foot.
No, that's not nonsense. I
I frown at the door.
"Okay, am I dealing with Harvey the Rabbit, or Judge Dread? Because that was not Christopher Lloyd's best performance.'
Have I mentioned I like movies?
I grab onto the sticks closer
Jost gives a deflated little
It blinked if you will.
_______________________________________________
You grab hold of the stick and you pull yourself to shore.
Except it seems to be holding your hand back.
You peer closer to the stick and discover five perfectly sculpted ivory digits.
Bones?!
"I wasn't talking to you,
'SAGood knocker.
Nevertheless, I stand up again and turn around, using Jost to examine the walls of this exceedingly small room.
I stared at the bones for a
As soon as your turn your
As soon as your turn your back the room is illuminated by a bright light and the sound of a creaking hinge.
The door opened?
A very short shadow looms in the doorway before taking off into the next room.
--------------
Tugging on the hand pulls the rest of the arm out before you yank your hand free.
You sit panting on the bank for some time.
From this angle you can see multiple bodies floating around in the waters.
Probably other victims of the swamp spirits.
I shudder and scramble away
I am briefly impressed by how
It passes.
I turn back around and use my foot to open the door more. I've got the good sense to not just rush headlong through it, because that's only for monsters in closets.
From my vantage point, I take stock of the connecting room.
There seems to be only swamp
You could go just about anywhere at this point.
The next room is a very bright hallway. Directly across is a clean white wall.
You can hear pen scribbling and quiet muttering from above.
You cannot see left or right without poking your head through.
I choose to go to the west,
I open the door a little more
You head west and the murky
Nothing new has arrived in the previous room.
You can move onto the next room.
You can take Jost with you, but be aware that he takes two hands to carry carefully.
You become aware that you can hear your alarm going off in the distance.
You are starting to become aware of your dream.
You have five minutes as of this post to wake up and save your dream some how.
If you fail or choose not to, you will lose your dream.
Always a minute too late xD
I wake myself up by imagining
That'll wake any girl up.
Bereft of a Turian, I scribble the dream down on a piece of paper.

This could be a good thing.
Or a bad thing.
Regardless, get ready for teamwork horror special tomorrow.
It will start earlier if possible unless I, for some reason, end up being out late.
Grab a buddy and join us for nightmare fuel.
Shoot! I missed it!
Probably going to miss tomorrow's too... Some friends are treating me to a concert. D':
Will you be doing it over the week too?
Yeah I missed it too. I
Aww, I´d so want to try
For the past two days we've
I can shift it earlier depending on needs and usually plan on doing so.
Weekends usually being later.
Mondays/Wednesdays the game usually starts from 1 pm EDT to 4 pm EDT.
I'm gonna take a shower, kick my dad to go get the errands now, and then be back to start by 7 pm EDT.
For reference,
EDT is Eastern Daylight time.
universal time- 4 hours
Aw, too bad.... seems like

I say about because I'm walking to the kitchen and may get distracted by my cat or something on my way back.
In that time you must find a buddy out of the other players.
Pretend you like each other :c
You'll be stuck with this person for the duration of the game.
If an odd number pops up while I'm gone then you may have a group of three.
Or you can cut the odd one out in half and each take half with you.
...
Work that out on your own.
Whoever wants me can have me,
Rain wanna be my partner?
Or am I too late today?
edit: I've been very very busy though not badly stressed. Stress level: 8.

Nope you're not too late.
I´ll end up wandering around

The odd one out now is Spyrre xD

Spyrre!
Pick which pair you wish to be with for a group of three.
You have that choice.
Anyone beyond this point is trapped in a 'super group' consisting of everyone who doesn't have a dynamic duo beyond this point.
We're gonna get started once Spyrre decides.
...ergh, I have no idea.
.... a moment, please. *finds a coin to flip*
No problem. I was just about
