Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of June 2007

if you don't have a pet, can it be a lucid one?

'cause I've been trying to find my lucid dog for quite some time now

I don't know if it must be yours (or someone else's) real pet or if it can be your own lucid pet

love the ideas though

Well, since Moonbeam and I dreamed up this task, I feel qualified to answer it.

Any animal will do, whether it exists in RL or not. I'm specifically seeking out my own dog.

Seeker - you might want to note that the animal one is the Advanced Lucid Task.

seems good, gonna try my first wild tonight!! lucid tasks really are good fun.

Cool, im gonna get on it tonight advanced and basic.
PJ, nice idea btw i really like the advanced i would love to see somthing that weird.

Does the advanced task require a verbal response? What about non-verbal responses (e.g. - dog humps your leg)?

No, i think it must be a verbal response because of the question "what do you think of me" would pritty much require a verbal response, if you get my meaning? lol

Verbal response only.

(Again claiming authority based on origin. Seeker'll thump me if I cross the line here.)

I've lit myself on fire before in LD's, so the lucid task, wouldn't be that hard. I don't know about the pet one though.... I'll have to try them.

Hmm, I'd like to try both. I really want to successfully do a task and the walking through fire one sound pretty good!

If lucid pets count, then that advanced task is next on my list of things to do.

And walking through fire would be interesting.

I need ot get a pet so i can do the advanced task. the fire one seems awsome

These look like fun! I'm definitely going to try 'em this month... starting with the fire one. Good luck to everyone!

Hmm....Getting a response from my pet might be easier for me that walking through fire. I am afraid of fire and have never seen it in my dreams. We'll see!

Am I the first? Wow - that was cool.

Here's the relevant parts of the dream. The rest of the dream can be found in my DJ:

My son is standing behind me, and I ask him where our dog Lucky is. He doesn't know, so I call her and start walking. I soon hear the jingle of her collar and see a small brown and white dog playing with our daughter. "Is that Lucky?" I ask? My son says yes, so I kneel down even though she doesn't look exactly right. She is acting right though!

I say, "Lucky, you can now talk. Let me hear you say something." She is laying with her head between her paws. She moves her lips and says "Yes" in an eerie high-pitched voice. I smile, knowing that the advanced task is in the bag. I ask her, "Tell me what you think of me."

She says, "You make me happy." Then she rolls on her back with her tail wagging furiously. Looking down toward her belly, she says, "You make that thing waggle."

I am satisfied. I get up and decide to wake up because I don't want to forget any of this.

Congratulations but I am mad that you beat me!

Good idea to say "you can talk now." I've just been saying IRL to my dogs,
"Say something to me! Tell me something!" to try and get it to happen; but I think that may be a better idea.

Thanks, Moonbeam. I really didn't expect to crack this one before you did.

Seems like the break that you took and starting over like from scratch helped.

i havnt gotten round to twalking though the fire yet but av done it before so al get on to it tonyt.

Its taken me all week end to get the advanced one done because of one- i didnt get a good nyts sleep on friday and two even when i was lucid for that like 5 minutes on friday i summoned my old dog hermes and i went on my knees and put my hands behind his ears and started tickeling him. He sat down and then i said to him what do you think of me hermes. He then got up and ran away. I then stood up and shouted "Al get ya tomorrow nyt" and then i woke up

On saturday nyt i did it.
I got to bed prity late about 230am ish and i went to sleep. now i was in a dream were i was on a train and there was people sat everywere the train was full and i looked outside so see that we were on the ocean and there was a big sign on the window saying oneway train to atlantis.
Now i sat there for a second and then sttod up look at the sign, looked out side, looked at the sign and then looked at the floor. Then it hit me i was on a train which was on water on its way to atlantis am dreaming. It took me a while to get my barings and i looked around the train again at all the people. They looked like somthing from the 40's holding there lougage and keeping there children close. I grabbed a paper off a guy and told him ad give it back in a second and he said anytime mate. I put the paper to my face and walked
down the train still with the paper in my hands with it in my face and i was thinking of him my dog. Then i got the other carriage and then put the paper down and i saw him walking though the people towards me. I thought to myself yes now just relax and get it over with.
He came over to me and i just stood there and went you ok mate and he went ye this train is shit though everyone keeps on kicking me can you tell them to stop. So i shouted down the train to tell the people to stop and they all replied "Were sorry". I sat on the floor looking around before i asked him what do you think of me. Now hermes stood up and started to walk off so i told him to wait and just atleast tell me. He turned around and said you were loving but you hit me everytime i did somthing wrong and i hated you for that and then he walked off and disappeared. and then i got with LDing with what time i had left.

Well I attempted both tasks.. I'll let Seeker and you ("the people") decide if I get credit!

I went to the couch about 3am to try to WILD. I lay on my back for what seemed like forever until I finally decided that it just wasn't gonna happen. I then rolled on my side but still kept repeating to myself, "Am I dreaming?".

For some reason I get up and walk back to my bedroom and lay down on the floor. My husband comes in from the living room, steps over me asking me what I'm doing on the floor. I get ready to answer him when it dawns on me that I wouldn't sleep on the floor! I was having a false awakening and I'm still asleep!

I get up and head out the door. It still felt as though the sheet was covering one of my eyes. I tried to push it off but I couldn't get my eye clear. In desperation I pushed my eyes open between my thumbs and forefingers and it seemed to work.. things became clear and bright.

I find myself inside a huge bldg.. it reminded me of a mall only there were no stores. People passed by me as though they didn't notice me.

I see two girls dressed in business suits pass by and I asked them, "Are we dreaming?" They both looked at me, then at each other and then back at me with that "are you high" expression and one replied, "No, we're not dreaming!" and they kept walking.

I decided it was time to show my skill so I walked up the side of the wall and stood there sideways and yelled after them, "If we weren't dreaming, could I do this?!".. but they didn't even turn around.

I jumped off the wall remembering the tasks and I noticed an indentation in the wall down the hallway.

I walked over and noticed that there was a small fireplace built into the indentation of the wall. There was a small fire going but it grew as I looked at it.

The fire was hot.. too hot! I could feel my skin start to burn as I reached my hand in. I reminded myself that the task was that I had to "walk through fire" but I didn't see how I could walk through it when it was in a wall! I decided that perhaps standing in it would be good enough. I was going to "test the waters" so to speak by putting my hand in first and noticed that I was now wearing gloves. I think my mind was trying to protect my skin cuz when I put my hand in the fire.. it burned like.. well.. fire!! I couldn't stand it and when I pulled my hand out the glove was still burning. I tore the glove off and threw it burning on the floor.

Ok.. task number 2 it is!

I realize that I need to find an animal and, as I start down the hallway, I see something ambling towards me. As it gets closer I see that it's a fairly large possum!



I feel kind of apprehensive but I kneel down and hold out my hand and it continues to approach me. I had never been that close to a possum in real life and they aren't exactly cuddly.

It stopped in front of me and I slowly reached my hand out and gave it a scratch behind the ear. It looked up at me and I could tell that it was old and also that it was nearly blind as it's eyes were not brown and clear but cloudy and milky white. For some reason I felt I couldn't ask a blind possum that I had just met what he thought of me so instead I asked, "Do you like people?". He raised his head, trying to find my eyes with his eyes and he began to stutter,

"pppr" .. "ppprob"

I found myself fininshing the word for him.. "probably?"

"Probably" he echoed while nodding his head never once breaking his gaze from my eyes.

I decided that we had conversed enough as I got the uncomfortable feeling that at any minute he was going to bite my face off!

I backed slowly away from him and stood up.

I then woke up so I could write down all the details.

The end!

pj, that is so sweet and it sounds just like something you'd expect a dog to say!

im diggin the fire task

Clairity - if it were my call, I'd give you credit for the advanced task. Anybody who has the nerve to approach and talk to a freaking possum - and get a response - has earned my respect!

You never actually got into the fire... I don't think putting your hand in is enough.

I didn't expect to hear anybody say it was painful though! It will be interesting to hear others... and to try it myself.

Cool dream, through and through!

Isn't it funny that we think enough of these tasks to deliberately wake ourselves out of perfectly good lucid dreams so we can get them written down?

I was so happy to hear that from her I was getting choked up.

That is one weird dream. Possums aren't very smart, so that's why he couldn't talk very well, I reckon.

I do think you should get credit, but you know what? I bet you get a better talking animal within the month.
