Hey guys,
by now everyone should have heard about our lucid dreaming capture the flag game. We started it after the moon race and it's essentially a community challenge in which everyone tries to pick up a flag in a lucid dream. The winner gets to choose the new location and will be gloriously honored 😂. Seriously it's a lot of fun! I chose the titanic as our first destination and I'll enjoy reading your success stories.
(P.S. my flag is yellow 🟨)
UPDATE: James won this round of CTF. Congratulations! 😊
Our next destination is Easter Island. You'll find a purple flag there 🟪!
NEW UPDATE: I picked up the flag 🙃.
Our next destination shall be New Zealand! You'll find a blue flag 🟦 in the Waitomo caves. Good luck everybody!
Here are our basic rules:
Be honest and don't make anything up!
The previous winner should wait atleast a week before they try to get "their own" flag again.
If two people should pick up the flag in the same night, the first one who posted about his experience shall be considered winner.
It only counts if it was a lucid dream.
It only counts if you actually pick up the flag.
You're allowed to spawn the flag, if you can't find it where it's supposed to be.
Please share your stories below! Feel free to join the VIP lucid dreaming chat, if you haven't already. We frequently discuss our progress over there 🙂.
I ended up posting my experience in another thread about it. Guess I wasn't patient enough for this one :P Here's my CTF lucid dream for the Titanic challenge for the yellow flag: I entered a second lucid dream that night via a DEILD, as the prior dream was short and ended because of my own exertion (happens to the best of us still). I like still while hypnagogia began again, so I just thought about the titanic and that I "didn't want to see any dead bodies." As the dream formed around me, I was still somewhat aware of my position in bed, while I found myself submerged in water in what appeared to be the engine room of the ship. I used hand movements to steer myself around, as I looked for the flag.
Then, I thought I saw it peeking out from beneath what looked like a shipping container in the engine room (the room was HUGE). I dropped down, now able to move more freely, unaware of my physical body's position, now. I sunk down through the water and breathed a minute there, just to defy what would ordinarily be the case in waking life. Then, as I got closer to the shipping container, I feel out through the bottom of the water, finding myself in an air environment, now. I looked up to see a ceiling of sea above me. Definitely an interesting sight.
Then, I reached down and pulled the flag out from underneath the container and found it was a small marker flag one might see the city using to mark gas/water lines on properties. Realizing I needn't carry it with me, I wadded it up and tossed it aside. I looked around and realized I was now in a junkyard, with rubble everywhere. I explored a bit, finding nothing of much interest, until I found a group of rough looking men talking in an open garage, clearly about to drive away in their large construction vehicle. Their conversation was tense and I got the feeling they would be more trouble than they were worth. I ducked out of sight as they drove away and went to enter their garage to explore, but the dream had run its course and I awoke. EDIT: This happened the night of the 17th, by the way. I'm sure someone else made it there sooner, but still I felt it was a good idea to make note of when it was.
Last night I had a very unrealistic dream - I dreamed about being pregnant 😂 I thought wait a minute.. How could my gf get me pregnant? This makes no sense at all.. Am I dreaming? - And obviously I was 😂.
I was at my grandparents house so I went down the stairs to get out of it. On the way I grabbed a vanilla milkshake and thought to myself: I know I'm vegan now, but does this mean I have to be vegan in my dreams too? Well for me atleast it doesn't, so I just drank it.
When I got outside I remembered the thing @LucidGuide said about the tomatoes 😂. I wanted to fly somewhere else, but everything started to turn black, so I immediately stopped and waited.
For some reason my environment looked like a horse stable now 🤷🏻♀️.
I saw a mirror and looked at myself. I looked quite normal so I just took two tomatoes out of nowhere and put them up my nose. I started to levitate and laughed so hard I almost accidentally woke myself up (everything started to turn black again).
Now I was tempted to get James flag. I flew past my house to a big tree nearby, looked over the train rails and saw the hills and meadows on the other side. I decided that behind these hills I would find Easter Island.
I flew over the train rails and got a bit annoyed because there were lots of trains and they were hella noisy.
As soon as I got to the meadows and hills I felt a bit calmer and I was excited to see that behind them was what I really wanted - Easter Island. It floated in the air.
When I got closer I realized that Easter Island was just a parachute of someone who was doing parasailing 😅. I tried to catch the boat at first, but got frustrated and just teleported myself up there 🙂.
When I got there I found the purple flag sticking out of the grass near the water. I picked it up and put it in my pocket.
I woke up a little later and my new math teacher was standing next to me, telling me to write down the next exercise. I told him that I'll just write everything I dreamed about in my journal really quick and do everything else later, so I won't forget my dreams. (Needless to say it was a false awakening 😂)
Yeah and then I woke up again - this time for real 🙂.
I just want to thank you, Miss Lilia, for coming up with this CTF-Game. I've been quite unmotivated for a few weeks now to do anything LD-related, thought I'd check on this post, googled Waitomo caves and my motivation was restored! Thanks for effectively pulling me out of a drag, this could've taken me weeks!
