- pair of shoes: I found a friend of mine who was dressed as harry potter and asked for his shoes. they were very large boots that were way to big. I did manage to tie them both, but not that easily.

- flush myself: this was fun! I had a FA first and then did a RC to confirm I was absolutely lucid before stepping into my toilet. I jumped in and pushed the button. I was sucked through at a very high speed! I came out somewhere very different in another room, like I fell through the ceiling or something.

Congratulations!!!!

Was being flushed down the toilet fun? lol I can't wait.

What Dreams May Come is a pretty good one with Robin Williams. I'm still aiming to complete that task too. That and the patronus one at least. I'm wondering if the patronus is more effective (more visually stunning) if used as an actual defense, rather than summoning it with no target?

Thank you once more and so much [B][COLOR="#800080"] there were lots of shoes, too, in a shelf.
So I took a pair of trainers, put them on and - tadaa - I got them tied up properly! Took me two/three tries, but it worked.

Smarty!..You may need this to go with all of those wings..54ca50f0-428b-11e4-b574-2fbf523f3085_RTR470MZ.jpg

This time I succeeded at the patronus task!

There’s nothing at first, but I say, “Look, there’s something,” and now there are wisps of silvery, smoky mist flowing from my fingertips. The wisps coalesce into some little critter who leaps to the ground behind a passing DC. I lose sight for a moment and start looking around to see where the patronus has gone.

“Look, he’s so cutie!” says Wife. I turn to find my patronus, a silvery, wispy little bunny, hopping around in the grass under the RV. He turns back to look toward us and his little nose twitches. He returns to nibbling at the grass.

Love this task! I'm going to go for this again with Dreamer and see if with her help I will produce the dreaded "pootronus" that she has promised me.

Congrats, Canis!

I'm really looking forward to meeting your REAL patronus:

Hey Canis! where is your patronus!?
:canislucidus: Errrr... I think I ate it... Burp!

I'm so happy to be lucid dreaming again! I managed to complete the toilet task, but I couldn't get a patronus to form.

I had another LD last night from sleep paralysis. I got up and went into the kitchen. My roommate was there. I tried to yell expecto patronum and wave my finger around as though it was a wand, but the word "patronum" wouldn't come out. My roommate started muttering some incomprehensible gibberish and walked past me. I tried to yell again, but again I couldn't say "patronum". The third time, I managed to yell it out, but nothing happened. Then I woke up.

I DEILD'd back in and started walking to my front door. The plan was to get a stick to use as a wand. Then I realized there might be an umbrella near the door that I could use instead. I didn't find an umbrella, but there was a cane there, so I tried using that. I yelled expecto patronum a few more times while waving the cane, but still nothing appeared.

I was about to go outside and try my luck out there, but then I remembered the toilet challenge and I decided to do that instead. So I went into the bathroom and stood inside toilet and flushed. It felt really cool. Kind of like a freefall, but I was being tugged downward also. I thought I might spin as I went down, but I just went straight down and found myself in a space filled with nothing but water. I swam around and thought about the meeting Robin Williams thing.

When I surfaced, I was in a cave. It wasn't too dark, but the cave was mostly brown and the water was yellow. There was a guy there when I surfaced. He was kind of like Robin Williams, but it wasn't him. He was wearing clothes that looked like some combination of pirate attire and a sailor's uniform. He had a thick yellow beard and yellow hair. He looked very cartoonish. There were a bunch of other people there as well. They were just milling around or sitting down. It looked like a refugee camp or something.

Anyway, I introduced myself to the bearded fellow and he laughed and said he didn't care for people with the name John, but in a friendly way. I tried yelling expecto patronum a couple more times. I got a little blue mist once, so that was something. I decided to ask the guy if he had any recommendations on how to get this to work. He said something like "you need to jump into the zihigaph". I assumed that whatever that last word was, he was referring to the water. So I jumped back into the water, yelled expecto patronum a couple more times and then I woke up.

I looked again and the word changed a round a bit but stabilized on "damn". Next I turned it over and it was a postcard. It had address lines and a bunch of stuff written on that side, but the words kept changing and I can't recall what any of them said. After that I ate the cookie as I walked out of my house to continue the LD for a bit.

Am I wrong or you actually completed the fortune cookie task a couple of days ago? Where's your first portion of wings then?

As far as I'm concerned, I think you should have a double portion of wings, with french fries and a big cup of soda because of the delay...

That's my fault. When I used to do these, you just got the wings by posting in the thread, but apparently now you have to go do that Join Group thing in the control panel and I didn't do that until today.

Grats Well done!!

Finished the two advanced tasks on the same dream, it felt awesome.


Full dream here: Mon, Sep 22, 2014 / LUCID / Completed advanced tasks of the month - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views


Andanced task #1

I remembered about the task and found myself again at my house (I later found out that I was at my mom's house this time, not my dad's) , I grabbed the first thing I found, which happened to be a broom, and used it as a wand. EPECTRO PATRONUM... and by a christmas tree that my mom has hidden somewhere, an OWL appears, a little one with a big head and big eyes!!! It looked awesome, and I felt like a wizzard or something lol


Advanced task #2

Then I grabbed the broom I used as a wand, went through the front door (my mom's place is a 1 story house) and started flying like a witch... I was flying around town and remembered task ii, I did the first one, why not do the second one?

I see a basketball court beneath me, and close to it I see some houses! Just beneath me is an old, poor and abandoned house, I didn't go there because it probably didn't even have a toilet, plus I wanted it to have some people inside (specially some girls )

I land in front of a house, the door was opened and just by it I see a two-headed dog just standing there looking at me (probably the craziest and sketchiest thing I've ever seen).

I enter the house and I see a woman in like her 50's but looks kinda like a junkie or something like that. I see a bathroom prepared with two toilets to choose from.

Super mellow I start getting inside one of the toilets, a dark grey , square, retro looking toilet.

I get in and feel the cold water in my back. I flush and I feel myself doing a 360 degree turn very slowly, and getting wetter, and then everything goes dark. I stayed in that dark, wet place for a bit and then got out feeling accomplished.

First shot patronus, well done!!!

And, interesting about two toilets. Do you dream in pairs a lot? It might be one of your dream signs, it is one of mines. Last night dreams I saw two vases with boiling water hehe (long story, will share later when I post it.)

Yup. When I said that spell it felt like german, the g was very strong, something like riiiiiigggggggggggggggggggggggopeeeeeeeeeeeeeggggg ggggggggggggoooooooo. But it was "rigoperro" because the first time I heard it in the dream sounded like r, not like g. lol.

Almost forgot to post here, I successfully did Basic I last night. I know it's nearly the end of the month, but shhhh, it was unplanned.

It was a DEILD, early morning hours (4~5am?). It started off in my bedroom, so I quickly RCed and flew out the window. I was extremely conscious and aware and I was quite happy with the fact; first quality lucid in a while. The dream was also vivid; I was in my neighborhood, but I vividly remember the area being quiet, the sky being a light pink as if it were dawn, and the large trees and buildings darkened in front of it as a silhouette. There was a slight, audible breeze as well.

I landed on the road (there were no cars) and started walking as I stabilized. I was really happy with how vivid the dream was, so I began trying to recall some of my big dream goals. Despite not planning to do it, I immediately remembered just one of the ToTMs: Find a fortune cookie and read what it says.

It wasn't what I was planning to do, but I seem to do well with summoning small objects (I hope it still counts that I didn't exactly "find" it, oops) and figured it wouldn't take long, so I was like "Hey, what the heck?" I focused for a moment, then reached into my pocket. Voila, fortune cookie.

I ate it immediately. The taste, texture and appearance were all nearly identical to Nilla wafers (awesome stuff, by the way). On my first bite though I felt a strip of paper in my mouth. I pulled it out and stretched it out--it magically was not crumpled or wet or damaged in any way--as I swallowed the rest of the cookie.

It read, quite clearly:

Have yourself a fortune cookie, then read what it says.

And for some odd reason, I actually burst out laughing at this; I was laughing so hard I nearly woke myself up. I have no idea why I was laughing so much now that I'm awake, but in the dream I remember thinking it was the funniest thing that the result I got from the task were the task instructions themselves. I'm pretty sure I spent a good 30 seconds standing in the middle of the road on the brink of dawn laughing at this fortune cookie.

Eventually I calmed down, continuing on with my lucid as I ever occasionally wondered throughout the dream why that's what the fortune cookie said. Like I said, no idea why I found it so funny, but if there's one thing I learned from lucid dreaming, it's that people do weird things in their sleep.

Ah, well.

Yeah hey haven't thought about it... it might be (two toilets, the sketchy two-headed dog, and I remember from another dream two kids walking a majestic looking two-headed wolf lol). But only have noticed it in lucids, tho!

Well, every time in waking life you see something in pairs do a RC, things such as.

That is what I do!

No that's my bad, I just missed it. So few people actually join the permissions group so I just go by this thread. Only bad part about that is I might miss someone.

Oh me, oh my... Looks like I might not be able to make it this month. The stresses of college have really been putting a hurt on mine dreams lately. I had a very long lucid dream roughly a week ago, but I totally forgot about the task.

Perhaps if I try hard this weekend, I'll make it in time. [Shrugs] Or maybe not.

Oh I was afraid you'd bailed because I tried to strangle you a few pages ago

Actually, I laughed harder than I have in months. I really get on your nerves, don't I?

I really want to watch What Dreams May Come. I saw this movie yeaaaars ago and loved it. I wonder why Netflix doesn't have it. I'll look on Hulu today after work.

Ah, well.

I love dreams that make you wake up laughing. It totally sets the mood for the day. =-) The fortune gave you permission to eat the cookie but you already gave yourself permission after the fact. lol Cute Congratulations!!!!

I love What Dreams May Come! I'll be visiting the world of paint for sure!
Hopefully I can get the toilet task done and meet Robin Williams before the month is up... It's getting pretty close!
