Thread: Lucid Task For The Month Of October 2005

Those are excellent tasks! I'm eager to get started on them. Trick-or-treating, what an idea lol.

Just think of the costumes you could use...Ah...
What would be a good costume?

I already completed the Advanced task, of course I knew about it at the beginning of the month.

Had a nice high level lucid going on, so I decided to give it a go. Started flying in my normal style, that is superman style. While in flight, rolled over onto my back, worked pretty well.

As soon as I tilted my head back, I went into a dive. Seems for some reason, my body wants to follow my line of sight when flying.

Yep, you guessed it, crashed head first into the ground, and yes, it hurt!

I can only think of one word right now....


Owned!


I doubt it'll work better for...Wait.
Oh, right...
[Hippie]It's all freaking mental...Whoa...[/Hippie]

Yep! I did it too, except I morphed into a duck while doing it (maybe it was my side effect from my niece's party). I trick-or-treated still morphed into a duck, & received a lot of bread goodies (ducks love that), & then I flew on my back, putting my head face down, & quacking all the way.
Does this count Seeker? All I know is that I don't think it counts doing the advanced task in a white robe & having a duplicate below me!!!

Wow I had a big lucid dream last night, it was probabl the longest ive had so far.

Anyway after doign stuff for a little while i remembered the lucid task, so I leaned back and floated along the ground for a while then I started to gain somo altitude, I remember looking at all the buildings beside me and them going up and down becasue I couldnt fly very well, then when I finally looked down I started to go down, then I was like "wait this is what happened to seeker so just stop yourself from flying into the ground and I slowly redirected back up into the air, then I decided to do last months task too and I flew into space, but I went way too aast and flew out of our solar system, then I flew back near earth and looked at the moon, and right by it was a huge satellite, I landed on it and I thought it was goign to crash into earth, but it didnt, then I forgot what happened after that

wait...so you can actually control your joints ect.... do you think of flying and you fly, or do you actualy jump up and fly, like feeling yourself fly.

You can do whatever you want!
Point your finger at something, if you want!
You can do...
Almost anything.

Edit: Yes, they actually jump up and feel themselves fly, as their brain would imagine it like.

Excellent tasks Seeker! I'll try to remember them tonight when I go to bed.

SWEEEEEEEET!!!!! I have been so busy with school and work that this is the first time I'm seeing the tasks. I'm so excited!!! yay, trick or treating!!! i love halloween, this is going to be fuckin fun!!!!!

Well, that was actually the hard task for Dreamin of Gamin. When I get an idea here, I distort it, & use it for a harder Dreamin of Gamin task, since many of my members are respected experts! If you want to try it, though, I could possibly find something cool for those who can do it!

Cool, hadn´t read this section, gonna try them both tonight, see what comes around. I´ve done the head thing before but walking not flying, really funny cause my mind kept putting things below my eyesight so I could fall, i just kept dwelling on that thought, and who whould of thought!!, some stairs made me fall and woke up.

I completed both of this month's tasks plus accidentally achieved last month's advanced task last night.

Last night I had a long string of lucid dreams. I wanted to do the easy task first. I found myself in a house, which turned out to be my g-parents house. I knew I had to go trick-or-treating, so I walked outside the house, but there were no houses nearby for some reason. I walked down the road aways and found a path that went off of the road. The path had lots of beautiful flowers along side which I took a moment to admire the sharpness of. I came to a slight cliff and noticed a large wooden house below. I flew off the edge of the cliff and came to the house. I walked up to it and noticed people were in there. I rang the doorbell and immediately a chinese man answered the door. I said Trick or Treat!....and at that instant my dream ended, just as the man was opening his mouth.

So after I woke up I closed my eyes again and found myself in the same general location, except this time with my mom along with me. I was up on the aforementioned cliff. I pointed to the house I had just been to so my mom could see where I had been. Then I turned around and saw there was a house right behind me. My mom had apparently already gone inside. I walked up to it and knocked on the door and then opened it. My mom and some lady were sitting at a table. This house looked exactly like my old apartment from a couple years ago. I yelled "Trick or Treat!" and the lady looked at me and then ignored me. I yelled it again, and this time she glared at me. I said "Trick or Treat! You know you have to give me something!" She said "Yes I know". So I yelled it once more and she picked up a candy bar and threw it over to me and it landed on a small table. I picked it up (I forget what it was). So I had completed the task! But I wanted to know what my costume was. I looked down and I was wearing white racecar jammies, similar to what I had when I was 5. I chuckled in my dream.

Not long after this I entered into another dream, lucid. I found myself on the nearby college campus. I tried to remember the advanced task for the month, but ended up remembering LAST month's task! So I flew up into the air with tons of giant trees around me. I yelled "Into Space!" and I flew higher with the trees extending upwards with me (Trees tend to grow as I go up when flying). Then things turned space-like and I yelled "Satellite!" A satellite flew towards me and I grabbed onto it, nearly missing it. It felt quite warm and was gigantic, almost the size of a small spacestation really. I looked around and there was earth below me, absolutely remarkable. Oddly, trees were superimposed on my scenery, they still wouldn't let me go.

A couple dreams later I found myself lucid outside my old apartment. I wanted to remember the advanced task for the month, so I decided to go inside and look it up on DreamViews! I walked inside and sat down at the computer. I found Internet Explorer and it opened just like it should. I typed out "D-r-e-a-m-," but when I got to the V the keyboard wouldn't work and it would be an S or some other letter. I kept backspacing but it wouldn't turn into a V. I was really upset because I wanted to see if it would actually load the site!

Finally several hours later in the night I found myself lucid on a chairlift on a ski resort. There was no snow, though. I had been having a few dreams on this chairlift just prior to my becoming lucid, but this time I managed lucidity. I jumped off the chairlift and started flying. When I tried to fly away from the chairlift, the chairlift and wires would appear in front of me again, no matter which way I turned. Finally I got away from them and I started flying on my back looking up at the sky. I tilted my head back and started to see the ground beneath me. But then within a second earth did a complete 180 degrees and what I was just looking at with the ground above me then appeared below me as if I were never upside down at all! It was very strange because the sky would be below me and the earth above me from my perspective and then suddenly gravity and the earth would go upside down to correct this and I'd be right side up again. Very trippy.

Anyway, those are my tasks for the month, completed!

Does it count if I create an exact duplicate of me, and tell my duplicate to fly Nina-Style and it does it?

Im only asking because im a bit lazy to actually do this myself, so having my "other" self do it for me is much more convienant lol.

Sounds like it is more work to do that O_o. But, I'll give you credit if you report back in detail.

Ok, I completed the advanced lucid task.

Once I attained lucidity, I went to a large window and opened it up. I have huge windows in my apartment, seriously probably 9 feet tall. I turned my back towards the outside, so I was looking in at the house. It would probably look as if I was about to to a backflip. I let myself fall backwards trying to see the ground so I would know if I was level. Once the ground came into view and I was falling downwards, I started to fly. Talk about weird. I though that this perspective would be a weeee bit more difficult to control but it wasn't that bad.

If anyone has played a 3d shooter like Halo and had their thumbstick "inverted" or "normal", (whichever isn't your natural way to play) that was exactly what flying like this was like. I had to think of the opposite direction I wanted to go in to fly in the correct direction. Think of playing a video game upside down, that's exactly what it was like.

In any case, I had difficulty accelerating while flying. It was almost like I was the puck on an air hockey table. I was gliding forward, but wasn't able to increase my speed. Eventually, I ended up flying over a lake and after thinking about being shot forward I quickly accelerated. I was hauling now. I then decided to do something else. I turned around superman style to increase my speed even more and got very close to the suface of the lake. I wanted to see how far I could skip myself on the lake, just like you would skip a rock. So I dropped myself completely down onto the surface of the water and got a ridiculous amount of skips in until eventually I had to swim. That was alot of fun. I would recommend that to everyone.

I've been using my DreamCatcher Glove to wake myself up at about mid-REM for dream recall (and gosh is my notebook filling up now! I'm remember an average of SEVEN dreams a night!)

I went back to sleep after taking the glove off and recording what was the be the last cycle of the night (oops! Overslept! A side-effect of waking yourself up at every REM is you start to slowly degrade performance-wise with the sleep interruptions). I was in a long hallway and started having a spoken conversation with myself about my dream recall being so much better. And then I realized it was a dream. As soon as I realized this, the scene started fading quickly. I shouted "lucidity now!" several times to no effect and then remembered your advanced task. So I just jumped up and started flying. The scene changed to forest outside of where I live (I fly over it a lot IRL in my plane), at that point, lucidity was very high, so I rolled onto my back and looked down, the forest ended a short time later, and I was over an unknown town. We'll stop the description there.

Duration of the cycle/dream from falling back asleep (based on my notebook) to waking was 27min. So the cycle resumed from my last rem apparently almost immediately.

I don't often do the flying thing, but I was fairly desparate to hold on to the lucidity since once start fading on me I often lose them entirely.

One final note was the end. It faded to black and I saw lights cycling in a circular pattern, like multiple rows of LEDs in a circle on a board - yellow, blue, red. Faster and faster until I realized I was awake - and that was that.

Good job youse guys! Looks like I'm going to have to make the advanced task harder

Is anyone going to go trick or treating? Hope nobody gets any poisoned candy!

I did just that on my website....
I combined the 2 tasks, made them harder, & require them done 2x (just one is not that hard). What you had to do here is morph into a bird of your choice (as long as it can fly....no penguins nor ostridges), go trick-or-treating for the things that bird would eat (like Ducks eat bread products, seagulls love seafood, etc), then do the Nina technique as that bird. Afterwards, you must eat every bite of your treats, even if you hate it!!
Pretty sweet, huh Seeker?

First controlled LD last night And the first thing i did was go trick or treating. Sadly nobody was in because nobody answered the door
