      I think it would be amusing to summon Jesus to help me walk on water.

      I'm going to attempt both tasks.
      I have walked on water many times, so I'll probably focus more on the advanced task.
      I'm quite confident about these, seeing as they overlap with things I do naturally in my dreams.

      I'm horrible at remembering my goals though,
      but this is a good occasion to work on that.
      Dreams are simple.
      It's the painfully simple things the human mind cannot comprehend.
      After all your mind is trained to understand the complexity of the waking world,
      not the simplicity of the dream world.

      Complete!

      I was APing and I flew through a stream, I rose up and landed on it and walked back to shore.

      I was flying near my house and I began to control the clouds with a strong wind, I made it rain. (the 2 elements water and air)

      For extra credit I was skating on top of a hill, I walked up to the back of a moving van and set it on fire with my hands, it was a lot of fun!

      Focus is like a dream.

      I seem to be ready to get back on track for doing the Tasks of the Month. I used to do them all the time, but just stopped a while back. The tasks for this month seem to be exactly the kinds of things I like to do in LDs--so all the better.



      I did a WBTB. As I lay in bed about to go back to sleep I had every intention of having a lucid dream and completing the Task of the Month of controling the elements. That positive thinking paid off.

      Lucid Dream:

      I was looking out over Lake Powell. It was dusk and the lake was mostly in shadows, but it wasn't too dark yet. I already knew I was dreaming. I wanted a better view of the lake so I made my vision rise (I say this because I was not aware of my body or myself flying). In the past I have often had difficulty viewing an area as I flew upward. But I felt very pleased the lake stayed very clear and in focus as my view of it changed. Soon I had a great view of the South end of the Lake. I could see Lone Rock, Wahweap, and Castle Rock.

      I remembered that I was going to do the Task of the Month. The Task is to control 2 of the 4 elements. I wanted to control water and fire, but I also wanted to try to do air. I looked at the lake and knew it would be good for the controlling water part. But suddenly I really wanted to do air first. I had wanted to try to form a tornado. And then I looked again at the lake and wondered what it would be like to make a tornado and then set it down on the water and see if I could then form a water spout.

      So I concentrated on a place above Wahweap Bay. I made a tornado. It was a little hard to see, but I knew it was there. I carefully lowered it down onto the surface of the water. At first I didn't see anything happen. Then I saw the surface of the water start to move in a circular pattern. Then I saw this large area of water lift and spin up into the air. And then suddenly there was a very large water spout swirling and spinning way up into the air.

      I felt proud of myself and considered that a success. I then took myself down to the ground and decided to start a fire with my mind. I had done that several times before and knew that I would have no problem with it. I saw that I was standing next to a stone cabin. There was a clump of dead grass in front of me. I figured that that would be a good place for a fire. I looked at the grass and willed a fire to start. Then I remembered that it was so much easier if I pointed my finger at it while I concentrated. I lifted my finger and instantly the little grass clump ignited. I just stood there for a time and watched the fire burn until the grass was completely consumed by the fire.

      I wanted to do more, but at this point my dream ended.

      Good job guys, keep it up!
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      So, I haven't been on here, and I wasn't aware that this was the task of the month, but I kinda did both of them at once.

      I was dreaming that I was a low-ranking enlisted sailor on an aircraft carrier. Some shadowy UN diplomat had taken charge of the ship, but was completely incompetent. The general in charge ( I don't know why it was a general and not an admiral) was nowhere to be found, and everything was starting to fall apart. The smaller ship which had been our escort had been ordered off on some sort of suicide mission that seemingly had no purpose.
      I decided to go up my chain of command, and called the Secretary of the Navy. He told me that this was completely unauthorized, and that the operation should be stopped immediately. However, due to the UN guy's incompetence, the radio was down and the other ship was unreachable.
      By this time, I had realized that I was an Immortal (in most of my lucids, i'm not aware that its a dream but I am aware that I am an immortal being with whatever powers I can imagine), but I didn't want the enemy to know yet, so I decided flying was not a good idea.

      So instead, I jumped down onto the ocean. I put down my hands palms first on the water, and something like lava came flowing from my hands. The ocean became like smooth ice, except with fire glowing from underneath it. I enabled my super-speed, and began to run across the surface as fast as I could, until I got to the other ship.

      Once I got to the other ship, I found the officer in charge, and told him some made up code words, while willing him to obey. I ordered him to turn the ship around and return to the carrier and take charge. Then, the boat turned around and began cruising back towards the carrier. This boat was quite fast, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to run as fast as it could, so I put my hands out and made the wooshing sound effect to stop time. I then ran across the fire-ice back to the aircraft carrier, which was now on fire due to the sabotage of the diplomat.

      Thats about all I remember of the dream, but it was pretty cool because it was the first time I've had a visual effect of having anything flow from my hands or be created while I was watching

      Lol thanks.

      I'm actually very curious as to how I was able to think like that in a dream. This is a very important experience for me because I've always thought that in a dream, logical thinking is almost non-existent.

      I did the advanced task yesterday and this is the basic task completed (ironically this event happened against my will):

      I was on very nice sandy beach with lots of people lying down, trying to sunbathe. At first I did the same, I sat on the warm, white sand and looked into the distant blue sky. Strangely, there were two enormous celestial bodies in the direction I was looking at but no-one found it the least bit odd. At this point I sort of knew that this was in fact not reality. Upon realising this, I thought "what the heck, lets just go nuts" and started sprinting towards the water. As I was closing the distance between myself and the water, the sky darkened rapidly and soon brilliantly lit stars filled the night sky. The moon also came up overhead and illuminated the entire ocean. The water was now emitting a sort of bioluminescent blue. I carried on running, and as I reached the edge I tried to jump into it to make a splash. But to my complete amazement I just bounced and slid on top of the water; I didn't even sink into it one bit. I touched the water to ensure that it had the properties of water, which it did. I tried to use my weight to force myself into the water but it simply didn't happen. I found myself on the surface and not even a bit wet. So I stood up and started walking. Within seconds I fell because the surface was extremely slippery. I tried a few more times, managing to stay upright for mere moments before toppling once again. Eventually I gave up and decided to do what penguins do - belly slide. It was definitely the most fun I've had for a while. On that surface I experienced little to no friction and I just kept on sliding. Eventually this dream world started to fade and became more and more blurred.

      I woke up and sighed.

      I managed to fulfill both the Basic Task and the Advanced Task in a single dream. This is the first time I have ever deliberately visited violence upon a dream character(s), albeit in self-defense. Anyhow, the lucid portion of the dream is highlighted in blue, the Basic Task in green, the Advanced Task in purple.

      Anyway...these are cool tasks. I will have to look forward to trying them. I've already done waterbending in a lucid before...or was it lucid...? Oh who cares? Not like it applies to this. Besides I have to bend two elements. This should be fun. I'll also walk on water. But now I must figure out how to fit this in with the Task of the Year...
      Hhahahahaha.... Yeah, I completed it last night, but did not have time to update! Will be in a little bit!

      All wings are updated, everybody should be winged. Let me know if I missed someone.

      You missed me, I didn't get my wings.

      Oh yeah, I didn't do the tasks yet. Is that a problem?

      Here is my dream!

      05.09.2011
      Freaking out a landlady and creating a hurricane (MILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Hi folks!
      No time no see!!! I have been extremely badly trampled with work. I lot changed in my life (in a good way) and now I finally have time for what I like!
      I am going to start recording dreams again. In a switch of PCs, I've lost my old journal file (but not at DV) so I will start a brand new one today!

      I will start out with the ToTM completed:

      I was in downtown trying to use my covert camera for a customer service evaluation at a Property Management Office. The button camera was very flaky and did not start. I checked out the DVR and I could hear one of my mp3 files I use while I am giving a healing to a client. I started to worry the video would malfunction and record the music. I went to the property's restroom to check it out. My shirt was full with wires and buttons... I started to freak out so I walked away from the properly.

      Suddenyl, I realized that it made no sense.
      I was annoyed of about how fool I was becoming in this dream and checked my hands to rub to my subconscious I realized I was dreaming. 12 fingers.

      I entered the property once more without worring about the camera, however, I was not 100% grounded in the dream. I though, "If I record in the dream, will my DVR record it in the Physical plane?" I started the tour with the Agent and when she showed me the pool, I realized that it made no sense that my recording could go from the dream to the physical plane. I told the Agent I was going to show her something. I recalled the advance task of the dream and walked towards the pool. The Agent told me I was going to ruin my hidden camera
      (funny how subconscious work, I real life, the camera is covert, but in the dream plane, both my camera and the Agent came from my subconscious, lol) I laughed and kept walking. Suddenly, I felt my feet wet, but I knew I was not going to sink. I walked around the pool and the Agent turned dumb. She stopped being smart and started to just stare at me.

      I walked towards the agent and realized that I still needed to the basic one. I started to create a PSI ball and focused on ICE. After a few seconds, I had a ice-ball in my hands. I flung it to the Agent. When it arrived to her face, it was snow instead of ice.
      I focused on wind. I already used pyrokinesis and already moved land, so I wanted to try something I never did. I once more focused on a PSI ball and focused on wind. I could see a yellow ball within my hands that moved pretty fast, I focused on it starting to grow. Suddenly, the trees started to move abruptly. I tried to increase the intensity of the wind and knock down a wind. I was not successful, however, I broke several of its branches.

      When I realized I completed both the basic and advanced task, I woke up.
      Click the door... and welcome to my dream world!

      Advanced task complete! I want to thank mancon and puffin for all their help, they're amazing!
      I'm in my parents room, and somehow I become lucid! I walk into my kitchen and see my family. I wake up pretty much.

      I'm in office kind of place, and this girl britanny who I dislike, is being extremly irritating. I finally shout out "Why are you being so weird today!?" She shrugs, and then it hits me. "unless I'm dreaming" I say, smiling.
      I do a reality check, and I become lucid! Britanny's definetely not happy, "I don't want you to become lucid ever again" She says seriously, in a creepy deep voice. I remember TOTM! I see all these people on chairs working at their office. I repeat to myself "I'm the master of my dreams, I'm in control" I do a hand movement, and shout "yaaaah!" and a massive burst of wind knocks all these people off their chairs!" I laugh. I wake up.

      I'm in my back yard, and me and some random are running down to the house next to me, every time we get there, these little native people try shooting us with arrows! We do this several times, and finally this massive dog thing comes out! Starting to attack me! I become lucid when it does, and I smile. I start flying in the air, and kicking it. and my dream starts getting a bit furry. I stopped time, which I thought was really cool, and stabalized! I consider killing it, with time stopped, but I remember TOTM and decide to use fire! I unstop time, and it starts charging at me, I launch off the ground, and try to throw fire out of my palms, no success! D:
      I click my fingers, and my hand lights up weakly. I thrust it into the huge dog's eyes, and it shrieks in pain. It lies wounded on the floor, and I fly higher, Put my hands on top of each other, and focus, my hands start to feel warm, I let excitment fill through me, and charge a massive fire burst at the dog! It dissapears. I want to burn the house down, because our neighbours are terrible. I hear "Please don't burn our house down" But I don't really care, but while I'm hovering in the air (Kicking my legs to stay afloat) I realise I can't get fire
      I wake up!

      I'm really proud of myself

      Hmm, there seems to have been a slight mistake--instead of granting me permission to the "Completed Advanced Lucid Task" group, I was instead placed in the "Completed Lucid Task of the Year" club, which I have never done.

      Completed the basic task last night.
      I was trying to think of the advanced task but i couldn't, i thought it was something else so i did that, and i did the basic (i only read these one time, at the very beginning so my memory was faulty)

      I had already been lucid in the dream for a while, there was a pool behind these apartments, and i was like "oh yeah, task." and i started attempting to walk on water, but i fell in. I was like, lolwtf. And like flew up to the surface and landed atop the water, i just casually walked across the water to the other side.
      nonchalant.
      bam
      From my rotting body,
      flowers shall grow
      and I am in them
      and that is eternity.

      I planned on doing both of them during an afternoon nap WILD today.
      Unfortunately I failed miserably and got distracted by a curious looking butterfly right when I entered the dream. ~_~

      Lets see if I have more luck tonight.
      Dreams are simple.
      It's the painfully simple things the human mind cannot comprehend.
      After all your mind is trained to understand the complexity of the waking world,
      not the simplicity of the dream world.

      The tasks certainly sound like fun, maybe this'll be my lucky month and I'll be able to finally give it a go. If not I will try them as soon as I become lucid anyway since they also sound like good practice.
      Personal Records so far: Max lucids per day: 2 | Max lucids per week: 4 | Max lucids per month: 8 | Max dreams recalled in one night: 17
      Longest lucid dream: ~35min | Highest flight: zoomed out of common existence [WTF?] | Fastest speed: FTL | DILD/EILD/DEILD [X] | WILD/VILD [X] | MILD/FILD/HILD [ ]
      Interested to know how I got 17 dreams in one single night? And how I think I still could Improve? Check out my new and improved Dream Recall Compendium: The Dream Recall Compendium

      Basic attempted; advanced completed

      I walk down a white hallway that gently slopes downward. I remembered the tasks so I try to imagine a body of water ahead of me. As I look up, I see the edge of a pool. I round the corner and there is an indoor water park. There are fake trees everywhere and I smell chlorine. I stand next to the shallow end of this pool. I thought I would rather test this out in shallow water. I go to where it is around 1 ft. deep, and I imagine the sensation of stepping forward and feeling solid ground for the water. I step forward and sink. Although I am up to my calves in water, I don't feel wet. I try it again and still sunk.

      I decided to give the advanced task a try. It seemed easier anyway. I extend my hand and use telekinesis to raise up a string of water. I make it twirl and spin in the air for awhile. Then I wanted to try the fire part. I imagined heat building up in my hand and I trust it forward. I small flame appears but it dissipates quickly. Well that was anti-climactic.

      I go for air next. I get in a fighting like stance and try to condense a ball of air. I shoot it forward at some guy and he gets blown back. He gets back up and starts coming toward me. He looks pretty pissed. Good time to try the earth part. But I look around and I'm still in an indoor water park; I can't see any real earth to use. He is getting close so I give it a shot anyway. I fling my hands at him and expect some large rocks to be launched toward him from behind me. No dice. He is within a few feet so I need to attack him the old fashioned way. I jump forward and land one punch to his face; he goes down. Just then, it starts raining large brown boulders. I rationalize that I must have pulled the boulders from far away so it took awhile for them to get there. After like 5 seconds of giant boulders crashing down, it ends. Somehow there is no debris anywhere.
