Thread: Task of the month for April 2010

Entry found here

I found myself in my room, and it was very dark. I tried standing on my head, and when I did, I head butted the floor in the process. I almost thought that I wasn't dreaming for a second, so I decided to turn on the lights. The light went on and flickered out, and the light switch itself started glowing green. Okay, I'm dreaming. I started examining my hands for stabilization, and I found it interesting that I even remember where the scar on my right hand knuckle was.

The room started looking brighter on it's own, and I tried it again. This time it was a success, and I decided to try the advanced one. I was looking at myself in the mirror, and I was trying to pull my head off so I can stand on it, but it just wouldn't happen. I tried visualizing it, and the dream faded out.

I sent all the requests out, they should be all caught up in a little bit.

I want something, im gonna do it..... so...... stand on my head... whichever way okay ill do that WATCH ME i need to find something to do in my LD anyways otherwise id go down from there.

TRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But not so successful,lol


Got out of a sandwich shop of a sort, the handling guy was somewhat amnesiac, I left, find out that my bottom feels some what exposed...... I'm not wearing my usual jeans it was shorts. Then I just went auto lucid from there, remembered the previous day some RCs.


I tried to do something out of the ordinary I jumped and tried to float mid air, to no avail, one time I jumped higher and floated a few seconds.
Then I find that the cars in the streets have stopped, people froze and I saw this one guy flying 1 hand, contrary to superman's two hand approach.
I then remembered I wanted to do TOTM tonight so I tried head down on the floor with hands supporting It didnt feel as though i stood on my head it didnt feel straight, it was like / or tch where is the other one lol, \ there we go, yeah felt like that. and then I lost lucidity try to do something with the senses grasp the detail but it faded, thought I woke up had a false awakening watch was 2 am last time i was awake it was 4 am and it was sunny outside so I left the place,( which totally became a different place,an apartment in an urban style place and there was this guy in the room). by opening the door and will my destination as the Velvet room, lmao Igor was funny as always but no sound, just dialogue partly because I tried many days before I went to sleep to make him speak english but the next time he can just go with japanese..... lol

Sorry about the wait, I have no idea what's taking so long. I recommend everyone who completed the task send a PM to Jeff, Naiya, and Seeker

Oh...damn. I still haven't seemed to get the hang of this. Fixed.

I want some lol, ORANGE JUICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

I just tried to post mine. Unfortunately, I tried to add a smiliey, and the page froze up and died.

I'm kinda surprised I was able to do this, considering my first lucid dream that actually worked was just yeterday... guess I got it now.

So anyway.... I shall break this into colors:
Non Lucid
Lucid
Commentary

I was walking around Castel Del Piano in Italy, just kinda looking around at the buildings and such, when I stopped in the middle of one of the streets. I looked around for a few seconds (like I was checking to make sure no one was around) I then proceeded to remove my head. (There was no blood or cutting or neck breaking, it was like I was a doll or something.) I then put it on the ground and carefully stepped on it. Once I was sure I wouldn't fall off, I walked into town like this. (Picture someone walking on a log or ball where they basically step on it as it rolls) When I got to the twon center, everyone started looking at me as you would expect, like "Hey... that girl is standing on her head... freak." Then after a few seconds of staring, they all simultaneously removed their heads just as I did, put them on the ground, and walked on them. Once everyone got situated, some weird music started playing (I'll try to find the link to what it sounded like) People began dancing like this, and I'm pretty sure a couple kids were playing soccer with their disembodied heads. When the music stopped a few minutes later, we proceeded to pick up our respective heads, reattach them, and go about our day.

It's also worth noting that I could still see from where my eyes should have been had I not removed my head. Also later on I had another dream that was completely in Italian. Awesome.

The music sounded much like this. Also, note the adorableness. Love. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJFFL...layer_embedded

I went inside this empty classroom that had carpet on the floor. I did a headstand, straight from my head. It was surprising difficult, but I tightened my abs thinking, "Strong core! Strong core!" I counted to 5 and released the move. I figured that would be enough.

I looked around and was amazed I was still dreaming. "Okay, what now?" I thought.
"Fly!" the voice said again.
"I'm not going to fucking fly!" I told it. "What were my other goals? Oh right, I wanted to go to the moon!" (I couldn't remember why, though)

Well, my lucidity has been increasing by half starting at 8 months, so I'll remember to do this in a lucid!

Done and done.

WOOT! I completed the advanced task!

I had a long involved dream that I'll post in my DJ... but when I realized I was dreaming I remembered the Task of the Month.
I got excited and almost did the first one but I reminded myself the tasks had to be during different lucids, so I decided to do the advanced task.

I took off my head then stood on top of it... then I used it like a unicycle and rode around in a circle.
Then I woke up

Awww...... lol Im not getting the chance to do it.. TO NIGHT I WILL DINE IN ORANGE JUICE LAND!!!

Very cool. Post again in here with a link and/or excerpt of the dream and I can give you your badge.

Markus was standing there looking at me. He asked if I was ok. I said I was fine… I was glad he had my back. I said there was one more thing I wanted to do before we left. Markus said fine. I told him it might look a bit disturbing, but don't worry about me… I would be fine. Now what I did was a bit confusing and hard to describe. My dream body is just energy, so I focused on shifting my consciousness from my head down lower in my body. It was working.

It was also disorienting. I took my Witchblade hidden blade and held it to my own neck… which was now above my point of consciousness… and activated the blade. Markus was surprised and moved to stop me at the last minute, but he was too late. My head fell off and rolled around on the ground. Markus stared, stunned. The crowd was also stunned. I was so disoriented… but I walked my body to my head and stepped up on the head… where I very quickly lost my balance and fell off. Everyone was silent. The crowd started muttering… I was hoping that would count. I crawled my body back to my head and grasped it, holding it back to my neck… where it re-attached… backwards. I turned it around 180 degrees.

Markus was still staring at me. I felt ill now. Markus asked me what the fuck I thought I was doing. I said I had been doing a task of the month. I was feeling seriously sick. I moved my consciousness back to my head… but that didn't help. My head was still on crooked. I straightened it. I told Markus I had to get back to the moon, then I would probably wake briefly… but try not to go anywhere or to come back. There was something else I wanted to do. He said ok. I opened a portal back to the moon and we went through it. As I stepped out of the portal, which I accidentally opened three feet off the ground, I fell out and woke.

lol, that pretty much IS the extent of my LD.
But here's the dream in it's entirety:

"I was at a resort, asking if they had a laundry mat. The woman said no but then she gave me complex directions to the nearest place. I asked her how long it would take to walk there from where I was and she said about 2 hours.
I then started flying. I was thoroughly enjoying myself but then I went to high and lost track of the landmarks. I started spinning, trying to get my barrings but then I was spinning out of control.
I was in California and I ended up over a bay of bridges. I went down for a closer view and I had absolutely no idea where I was.

I went through a parking garage that had a squared opening through each level, but along the roof were spikes and I wondered what kind of person would build such a place. It was hard for me to avoid the spikes, but I did and eventually made my way out.

At the top level, a bunch of guys were playing soccer and one of them fell over the edge. I caught him.

Then I was a guy and I was carrying a girlfriend. I was still completely lost and the guy I caught offered to show me how to get back into the main city.
I knew that carrying them both would REALLY drain me though.
He asked me how I flew and I tried explaining it was a type of sustained telepathy. He jumped over the edge again and I grumbled, asking what he would have done if I was too weakened. But before I grumbled, I stretched my hand out toward him and said: "Halt". Then I pulled my hand toward myself and said: "Come".

Then I was carrying both he and my girlfriend.
I became thoroughly exhausted after flying for awhile. I landed on a bridge but my girl was freaking out. I laid down and started falling asleep.
I somehow realized I was dreaming then did the lucid task (which I recorded in the TOM thread).
I took my head off and stood on it, then I rode it around as if it was a unicycle.

Then I woke up."

I completed both tasks!


Edit: Don't anyone get up. Got the badges myself.

Lol at Naiya. Congrats!

Congratz Naiya,

EDIT: Hey that's cheating, LOL ^_^

THIS IS SPARTA!!! 300 Post.... La la lah lalaala hhhahaha

The First Lucid (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Non-Dream Dream Lucid

The First Lucid

NOTE: I got lazy on the DJ's for a bit and I was on vacation during this one.

I find myself in a dream lying on the grass beside my house at evening-time. For some reason, I had this internal feeling that I was dreaming. I suddenly felt this surge of adrenaline and had become LUCID! This was my first time being lucid. I decided to fly. I floated into the air but felt nothing but the air against my face. I did not feel any adrenaline. When I landed, I looked at my house. On the side of it, it was spray painted, ToTM.. I quickly remembered that I want to try to accomplish the ToTM. Somehow, the scene twisted into a public restroom. I was standing in front of a mirror and I looked like a frog. I imagined myself standing on my head and before I realized it, I was already doing so. I was like Ok, Cool, lets see if I can give the other task a go. So I stood up, and prepared myself. Sure enough, from standing still, I took my head off and it moved in a mechanical motion in a clockwise pattern to the ground but my body was still standing. After this I was happy, and did not feel any loss of lucidity. I decided to try to conjure a car. I conjured a car, however for some reason this little midget/dwarf kept appearing and torching my car with a flame thrower. Whenever he would take the flame torch out, he would give me this sly grin and flip on his black facemask. I tried to tell him telepathically to stop, and my memory fades from there.


I was not impressed, this being my first lucid. I felt as if it were a distant memory when I woke up, and it didn't feel right. I thought that I would remember it as if it were a scene in real life. Or maybe I just didn't have a LOT of control or something. Whatever, its still a lucid.

-ClearView

Well, I wasn't actually going to try for this month's tasks (wanted to wait for something more exciting, ya know what I mean?) but when I woke up this morning I realized I had in fact completed the basic task!

Full post can be read here, evidence of just the lucid task part below:

I ran another few steps and did a flip and a half, this time landing directly on my head. Then I just stood like that, maintaining balance without my hands, even, and even though I was surprised to find that it did hurt, I wasn't actually wounded, so it didn't bother me...

Hey folks, I may be later than most,
but completing the task is deserving of a toast!
If I may interject,
following this sentiment,
you will see a completed task in this post:

78: 4.16.10; 7:46AM Part 3: The First Lucid Where I'm Truly Living Inside It. (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I have a dream that I pull up to a laundromat just as another car does, the people within it pulling out guns and preparing for a robbery. I have a gun in my hands but hide it and get my head down to avoid getting shot as I see glass shattering and hear bullets firing within the building. I'm on the phone with Julia and tell her where I'm at and what's going on.

Somehow I wind up inside the laundromat, and am coming out of the dream. I force myself to stay focused, and start to really put attention to the ceiling and the many lights hanging down from it. I comment on how nice the lights look from where I'm at (those that were on, anyway - most were off except for many of those near the back of the laundromat) and the dream gets very vivid.

I become lucid and as I do, I consciously want it to really feel like reality - and so it happens. I lift my arms from my sides slowly as if breaking out of sleep paralysis/REM atonia, and feel an amazing feeling of freedom in this lucid that I can honestly say I've never felt before! I wondered if I was moving in real life, but let go of that thought quickly to focus on the dream.

I look and walk around admiring how real everything is (the robbery still in progress, of course). I crawl under a chair for the heck of it, to enjoy this amazingly real environment I'm in, coming out the other side and finding myself standing behind one of the would-be robbers. After coming out from under the chair I shout, "RAA!" as I see my own face in third person, and found that to be pretty cool, with everything being so incredibly real. I approach the robber who hasn't noticed me yet, and make a finger-gun with my hand at him, saying "Bang!" a couple times with no results. I take the gun from his hand and put it to his head, shooting twice. (No wounds, no blood, no mess, just death.)

I walk away from him and want to do the advanced task - stand on my head, for real. As others have done on DV, I slowly pinch my neck on both sides and lift my head off my shoulders. At first my vision kinda follows my head, looking at the back of it after it leaves my shoulders, but then returns to its original position while I put my head on the ground in front of me and hop on my own head with both feet. I wake up right after.

Wonder what my dreamworld kill count is right now?

I figured the entire dream was worth a read.
