    Quick tree climb

    I was planning on doing a wbtb and then lding for the totm, but I got the ld before the wbtb.

    A very long dream where me and mom go from tasting food at some fancy restaurant to running away from street thugs in a nasty area. The dream covered a great deal of distance by foot. At some point towards obviously the end of the REM, my awareness goes up and I have a moment of clarity. I remember the totm and actually also a moment before all the running away and eating that was also lucid and I did a quick tree climb there as well but a short one before losing lucidity. We are in the streets of this South African town and I am excited about exploring, thinking I can do the task of the month later as I feel I have plenty of time. Still, I decide to give it a try now rather than later. There is a tree right in front of me, and while holding something in one hand, I use the other to climb up the tree. It is very easy to do, which feels weird and cool at the same time. As I focus on the tree, couple more branches appear and I wonder would this turn into an endless climbing. Luckily, the tree height stops to extend beyond and I finally reach its top. I remind myself to have a look at the surroundings, checking out the streets below, the buildings ahead and what looks like a small park in between. At this point, the dream ends rather unexpectedly.

      Congratulations, Nyx, great job on Task of the Month! (And on the no-WBTB LD!)

      Glad you made it to the top and got to take a moment to check out the view.

      Thanks CL! Yes, it felt quite nice to have a look at the surroundings from the top.

      A belated Congrats Nyx!! I still want to do that tree task. I love trees and just think that it would be interesting to go up to any look out point.

      I hope all is well with you. I just haven't been on DV quite as much as usual and haven't updated my online DJ in a while. I love looking at my old DJ's but it seems I'm too lazy to post them lately, especially since I really like the way I can quickly remember the feel and content of the dream months later by adding pictures…but that takes a fair amount of additional time...

      Hey fogelbise, good to see you! I remember your photo approach. That did work well! I can definitely see how it'd be a lot of work too.

      Did you also voice record a lot of your dreams for a while? I tried having Siri record my dreams for me one morning but the results were pretty disappointing, primarily because the recording length seemed to be really short. I've not been able to find a lot of time to look into it further, but it makes me curious how you did yours.

      Good luck! Looking forward to reading about your tree task if you decide to post your success entry on DV!

      Good to see you too CL! The standard android voice to text function seems to do quite well and I still use it for longer entries when I have privacy. There is probably an app that will give you more leeway with the recording length, I'm guessing.

      Oh, I have missed this conversation!

      Fogelbise, thank you for your comments. It is great to see you. I can absolutely relate to being behind with journal entries. At this point though, I am determined to be more active about lding, journalling as well as being around here more. Hope you find inspiration to do so as well!

      By the way, I've been trying recently, since yesterday actually, to voice record some of my dreams and combine this with a short journal entry. I think this will be effective just to get me going rather than an alternative way of journalling. It's a real pain saving and transferring more files from one place to another. I would also do it only after being fully awake - tried voice recording myself in the middle of the night and couldn't figure out what I was saying the next morning.
