task of the month

Dark room lucid dream where I had a false awakening and was able to do the nose pinch reality check. Most of the dream was me in my own house and trying to turn on a light switch. None seemed to work. Eventually I go outside and look up to see "Star man" who is a reoccurring character in my dreams who is the outline of a man in the sky formed from stars. I go back inside and decide I want to try the jump into a painting challenge, but when I jump into a painting in my living room, I wake up instead.

I go back to sleep and manage to have another lucid dream. This is another false awakening and already know it's a dream. In my room I see a "Goosebumps" book that doesn't actually exist called Escape from Werewolf Camp" with a picture of a wolf standing in front of a cabin. The rest of my room is being packed up. I find my dad watching an episode of the simpsons where the kids are giving reports on various generals. I see a painting nearby and look at it, trying to imagine what jumping inside it will be like. It's a grassy hill with a few houses on it, and in the background are these skyscrapers. The dad dream character says it looks like a metropolis. I jump into the painting and find myself on the grassy hill for about a second before I wake up.

I then go back to sleep and have a gambling dream where I am playing a sort of memory game but the cards keep getting mixed around. I then realize that it's a dream because I'm not on the internet playing a game, that I'm playing this game on the street somehow. I decide to just start walking down the street while talking about how I knew I was lucid since I'm talking to people online but without a mic or even wifi.

I go from running to me rolling down the street on a skateboard and I was still lucid and decided that instead of continuing the painting challenge for literally the fifth time I would instead watch my own birth, and that in the playground I was headed for would be a time machine. When I reach the playground I see this piece of a jungle gym that's shaped like a car rolling around and I declare that's my time machine and I need to catch it. I chase it around before finally catching it and find the environment around me slowly changing into the front of a hospital. I approach the hospital and see that it is called the "Ethnically Hopeful" hospital, meaning racial harmony. I don't know the name of the hospital I was born at so I figure this might as well be it. I go inside, down a hall to a waiting room and tell the woman at the front that I'm here to watch a birth and she asks "Oh you're (my full name) here for the birth of (my full name)? I realize that my future self must have done this for me, and that it will be fun to go full circle and do that in a dream. I take the ID she gives me and take an elevator up to the twelfth floor. Unfortunelty I woke up when I actually reached the floor, but not before sharing the elevator with a Dream character who I had to keep from messing with the stop button on the elevator. I asked her what her name was because I remembered that was a challenge but instead of replying she turned to me and I recognized her as a character from a short story I read about a large woman in an elevator who scared a boy who had a broken leg and had to use the elevator. That's how I knew she would press the stop button.

The dream begins with me at a local Bart station (Bay area train service.) and seeing that the price for a ticket was over a thousand dollars. I was really confused by this at first, but figured it had turned into a luxury service. I then leave the station and continue walking until I find what looks like a giant warehouse where there is apparently a sale going on. As I explore the warehouse, I find in one room two vintage comic books that I think must be very expensive and start reading through. The first one is a collection of random super heroes, while the other one is some sort of space story.

The next dream has me on a bus, and I meet an old friend of mine on the bus. As I look out the window of the bus, I see a woman trying to put lipstick on a mannequin, and then walking over to a bench and sitting down with it. I then randomly do an RC, and it takes a moment to realize I'm breathing through my mouth with it closed and I go lucid. I ask my friend if he is my dream guide, and he asks me what that means, and I tell him I remember the challenge was to find my dream guide. I then remember I have to call out for my dream guide, and I turn to the other people on the bus asking if any of them are my dream guide. A woman in a blue dress stands up and says that she is my dream guide, and to prove it she tells me my full name. She then points to a building in the distance and tells me that terrorists have kidnapped her daughter and I have to go save her. My friend is suddenly able to move at superspeed and in a blur we are both at the top floor of the building, which is an empty office building, and I'm fighting guys with ski masks and shotguns. I grab a shotgun from one and use the back of it to hit him. I lose lucidity as the dream becomes me and my friend playing hockey and the dream ends with me seeing the stadium from the sky.

The dream started with me and a group going to Disneyland because of a show I was watching or something. I remember seeing a ride that looked like a prison with a barbed fence around it, but then we went onto a water ride. There was a long line but we snuck onto one of the last boats, and this woman came and was asking who wasn't supposed to be on the ride, and suddenly I was Jason Todd and chasing after another Robin who was on the ride.

The dream then changes to me in my bedroom on my bed, but I know it's a dream and I do an RC where I pinch my nose yet can still breathe and go lucid. I remember the challenge where I have to walk though the wall in my room and see where I end up, but when I do it I end up outside my house. I then jump back into my room through my window by flying up to it and try it with a different wall because I remembered the challenge saying I has to go to another dimension or it wouldn't count. I kept trying to go through another wall in my room, but this time I couldn't go straight through it. I tried narrating that I would go through the wall since narrating usually helps, but I had to slide to the side and then back in order to pass through it. On the other side I was in a blue room filled with older men and I was surrounded with like a history of America. I remember seeing the date 1500 and thinking about how America wasn't founded that early.

That's when I woke up.

I forget what exactly the first part of the dream was about, it had to do with a trip on a bus, but I had a false awakening and I remember feeling really disoriented and I looked at my hands, and I had only three fingers on my right hand and I moved it around and saw it changing and I went lucid. Suddenly I was standing upright thinking about how I read in the maintaining lucidity section that I needed to spin around to hold on to it, but it didn't really seem to work. I felt like I was losing control of the dream and I realized that I probably had just enough time to quickly attempt the task of the month, so I looked around for a pumpkin and sure enough I suddenly found myself in my kitchen with a pumpkin in front of me that was already cut open.

I got excited because I was REALLY hoping I would be able to do the task of the month but I wasn't sure if I would be able to go lucid the way I usually do until this weekend, which is waking up and then sleeping in. I opened up the pumpkin and looked inside, and inside I saw cotton lining the pumpkin with tiny black dots, like black seeds in the cotton. I remember being really disappointed that the pumpkin was empty and that was when I lost lucidity.

In the next part of the dream, I remember being on the yard at my middle school and really not much else.
