Thread: Lucid Task For The Month Of August 2006

Nice, the advanced task sounds tricky . I saw the badge for it earlier without the description and couldn't work out what it was, I thought it looked like a face or a seashell!

I wonder if anyone will be able to do open heart surgery whilst jumping off a cliff. That would definitely be interesting.

Maybe, just maybe i'll get lucid to do a task, as I haven't had an LD since the last task

haha i know i was like... and what is that... exactly? i was like maybe volcanic rock? it would be cool to dive into a volcano... yeah but then open heart surgery... i dont know how to do that! oh well u can learn how to do anything on wikipedia.

List of procedures:

So many to choose from, but I think the ' AORTICOPULMONARY WINDOW SHUNT ' sounds the best.....that one is done with a hacksaw, some pliers and lots of tissues, I think.

Isn't it?

Could I substitue a really tall building rather than a cliff? Or does it have to be a cliff.

cool tasks, although more... sadistic (?) then usual
I'm gonna go for the advanced so I have a question... Does it have to be with knifes and such? Can't I just.. for example:
Walking along a street*BAM! LUCIDITY STRIKES!* I slam my arm into a DC that's passing by and tears open his chest and starts to dig around in his heart.

would that be approved?

The first lucid task seems to correspond with something I always wanted to do anyway. There's this twenty-story building on campus, and ever since I've gotten into lucid dreaming, I've wanted to jump off that building in a dream, just to see what it's like. I don't know if that would be approved, but I'm planning on doing it anyway.
So my question is the same as DuB's, does it have to be a cliff, or can it be a tall building?

Building of cliff is OK. The main intent of that one is to see what happens when you jump from something tall.

The open hear surgery thing, well use your imagination. It can be an approved medical procedure or something a little more new ageish......

Should be some interesting experiences this month

I like these tasks. I'm going to go old school on someone's heart with a rock. Either that or test my jesus-like powers. I like the normal task a lot because something about jumping off of really high things appeals to me.

I'm off on holiday tommorow, so while I'm away I think I'll try and perform Lucid heart surgery on myself while falling from a cliff. (I like to make my challenge attempts original)

Updates to follow in a week's time on my attempts.

Oh and don't have too much fun while I'm away.

I know I've completely missed the deadline but this morning I managed to stop traffic as in last month's task.

I was walking along a footbridge over a moterway whilst very pissed, and proceded to fall off said bridge. After falling for a while into darkness, I found myself standing on the bridge again. Now that's what I call a Dream Trigger. Looking down I see the traffic and remember about stopping cars. I feel like giving it a shot for fun.
Leaping down to the edge I walk into the middle of the road and try holding my arms out to them with the word 'stop!' in my mind. First two attempts fail and they go streaming past me. But on the third try I focus and believe. The wave of traffic proceeds to levitate two feet off the ground, wheels a-spinning! Well chuffed, I laugh at them before dropping them and letting them zoom on by me, then I levitate the next wave just because I can.
I expect no credit for this, I just wanted to say.

Nice tasks this week man! Look forward to seeing the advanced attempted. I may try and jump off a cliff or building if I can. Fingers crossed I hit lucididty again.

It's just lucky I didn't leave the colour out like other badges, it was really hard to tell what it was then.

Oh if the building counts then i've already done it. On the third this was my dream journal entry:

Sigfried and Roy sicked an elephant on me and my older sister. We were hiding from it on about the 8th story of a tall building. About here the dream switched to a low level lucid. I tried fighting the elephant back with telekinesis. But he was pretty strong and fought back. Finally I grabbed my sister and retreated to the main part of this apartment room.
I saw a window and thought that was the best escape. I jumped through the window (phasing) still holding my sister. We fell the 8 stories and I pulled up from it at the last moment on purpose. She said she knew how to fly so I let her go. The dream continued with a lot more flying, floating, breaking through the rooms of houses, etc.

Before the tasks were revealed I was looking at it and I actually thought it looked like a human heart.

i jump off a cliff anyway at least once a week, in my dreams...so that shouldnt be too hard, but the second sounds very difficult... does strapping someone to a table and cutting their heart out with a rusty saw count...i didnt think so...not that i dream off those sort of things...come on...okay see my dream journal for proof...the link is in the signiture bar...

Just like to mention I did inadvertantly complete the first task less a week ago. I was flying, but since I always like looking at the scenary I would fall every so often and then jump off again. My dream recall is still pretty bad so I can't remember the details all that perfectly but I remember approaching the edge of the world and as soon as I leapt off it my whole sense of balance just left me, off the cliff the world was like some floating nothing, but on the edge itself it was like a jungle-gym of crators which I explored before finding a weird futuristic battle ground.

If I choose to do this, I will become a witch doctor and pull someone's heart out a la Indiana Jones. Of course, I might have to operate on myself if I can't find any patients. Then I'll break it open, squeeze out all the clogged arteries, and then put it back together and back inside.

Distant Clone, good idea. Does it count if you do the surgery on yourself, seeing as you have a heart readily available?

Okay I definitely did the first one. I went to a cliff and threw a guy off of it and jumped off with him. It's in my dream journal. I kind of did the advanced one, because I punched through a guy's chest and pulled out his heart, stomped on it, put it back in, and channeled energy into the heart. After it started beating again, I sealed up his skin and he came back to life.

Lol, I think it should count.

Thats because it was~

I did it . last night i was in some dream about a camelot-esque kingdom. i was in a village with a bunch of villagers and i was talking to them about their boring oppressed lives under an evil fuedal lord who lived up on the hill in a castle. as soon as he said it, i realized there was a giant castle there now. I thought, there wasnt a castle there before... and i became lucid. Then I thought about doing the task of the month, and how i could get to a cliff. I thought about changing the dreamscape, but decided this one was interesting so I would stay here and see what the deal was, and when i was done i would jump off the top of the castle. So i decided to go up to the castle to petition the lord to give the poor peasants a better life (more money more food) crap like that. so i go up to the castle and say to the gaurds id like to speak to the king. the gaurd speaks into a little wrist walkie talkie to someone who is obviously higher up then him and allows me in (a wrist walkie talkie in the middle ages? I know, WTF?) but so i go in and im led to the king. I look at him and just by the look of him I know he will never agree. (He looks like an evil king You know... hungry look, black goatee big robes and stuff, not like a nice king would look.) I already know this will end in bloodshed but i decide to go for the negotiator crap anyway. So im all please your people are starving, and hes all kill him! and then like 6 gaurds come at me with lightsabers which is weird cuz its the middle ages but doesnt make me say wtf that much because i almost always have lightsabers as opposed to swords in my LD's because i think theyre way cooler probably. so i reach behind my back and pull out my lightsaber and cut up all the gaurds like a badass jedi, and then go to talk to the king again... its weird cuz whenever i talk to people in this dream it is like kotor/oblivion... it shows a picture of their face and whatever they say kinda comes up in subtitles too... and then the king like turns into a dragon and i end up killing him with like the force and my lightsaber it was weird. then he and his throne evaporate and behind the throne is a golden, shiny door with an exit sign above it. I remember this door vividly, it had wierd symbols on it. i walk through the door and theres a spiral staircase, after the first step onto it im sort of stepping faster and faster floating up the staircase. I get to the top after what seems like a while but im sure there was no time at all wasted and theres another door, this one just like the one downstairs. i walk out and im on top of like a platform ontop of a tower at the top of the castle. theres like a lazyboy on the platform (i know another out of place thing, all which couldve made me lucid if i had not already been.) So i sit in it and i think its very comfortable and i watch as the peasants go abouot there work and i think that would be a good simple life. I remeber my goal and i take a step up to the edge of the platform and i look up into the twilight sky. It is the most beautiful orange i ever saw. I suddenly feel very tired and just sort of lean over and fall off the edge of the tower... and i fall for a bit. but then i turn up and start to fly... i fly for a long while. the sky turns from orange to purple to black to light blue to blue. i see a grassy feild with rolling hills that seems to expand forever in evry direction... there are horses and the occasional unicorn running around on them... I land on a grassy knoll and the sun is up and i lay down and i feel very tired... a horse-ish creature comes up and lays down beside me... i feel tired and close my eyes, and i woke up.

I remember you said tall buildings were okay to, and since that tower was tall as hell so i suppose it counts. if not thats cool i can always do it again from a real cliff.

You know whats so good about the advance task is that you can do it on an alien and think the heart is in the head or the heart could be the eye AND whats even more better is that you could just take a knife cut where the heart is and no blood whould have to come out.

I did the basic one...

During a pretty vivid LD I decided to do the tasks, since I haven't tried them for quite a long time. I planned to do open heart surgery on myself while falling off a building, as mentioned by AnonymousTipster. I jumped onto the roof of a ~100 storey building, then felt around for a tool to use for my surgery, ending up with a pencil. I kind of chickened out at the thought of stabbing a pencil into my own chest, so I decided to scrap the surgery part and just dive off. Before hitting the ground I flew away. I flew feet-first towards the creepy looking Burger King mascot who was sitting on a bench ahead, and kicked the crown off his head. I woke up shortly after.

Ok, I did the first task.

In my dream I was standing at the top of a lift shaft on the edge of a cliff, looking down. Everything around me was blue, I was a long way up and for some reason my hair was green. I wanted to go to the hairdresser, but it was on the ground below. I knew I could either jump down or walk a long way down a cliff. Being lazy, I just jumped. However it was further than I thought. Everything went black and then the next thing I knew I was still standing at the top of the lift shaft, but I could now see my dead body at the bottom. I hung around for a bit, then decided to jump back into my body. I went black for a moment, then the dream went on as normal (as far into normal as my dreams go).

I would like to point out (on a moral prompting from my brother) that this dream was not lucid. Does it still count?

Oh Man, that sounded like a pretty cool dream to me. In essence, your body jumped but your spirit didn't. That's kind of neat!

I am so sorry and would give you credit if I could, but I has to be lucid
