      I have been keeping the bonus goal of playing an instrument that doesnt exist at the front of my dream incubation, and almost succeeded last night! I had a dream last night where I was singing by myself in a large hall, and my voice sounded amazing! I got really pumped up at how incredible I sounded and really exerted myself and put all my attention into it, feeling very present as though I were lucid. It was a really interesting emotional release, I woke up feeling fantastic. The sound was really something, such rich harmonics and this wonderful sensation of the tone resonating through my body.

      It was the long 'ohh' section after 4:35 of this song, I immediately recognised it when I woke up and wrote it down. I haven't listened to Linkin Park in a while!


      I really wanna get this bonus goal done though! I am so interested to see what I will play, and what music I'll create from it My current idea has been to 'play' a ball of energy.
      Total Lds - 103

      Playing a ball of energy sounds sooo amazing, Merlin!
      I'm very excited to see you getting into TotMs again!
      I eagerly await your next LD brag SMS! That was such a happy way to wake up.

      PRtitohp5, your instrument task was so creative, too!

      You guys are awesome, I love reading these dreams.

      So I didn't do any of the October tasks (yet), but..
      I had my second lucid dream! :p Did not wake up this time because I focussed on rubbing my hands together.

      In my dream I lost my camera bag and got really furious. I kept searching until I did a rc (counting fingers). I counted 6 (one extra handicapped pinky).
      I realized I was dreaming and tried reading a birthday card; didn't work out. The alphabet was a cross between germanic and arabic.

      I jumped and started floating in the living room. I went to the city to tell everyone I was dreaming and show off my flying skills. lol
      Afterwards I did something else too, with a girl.

      Next time, I'll open up a pumpkin .. fine.

      Question aside: In the morning I remembered I had a lucid dream a couple minutes after waking up. So I almost forgot about it. I think I had more lucid dreams in the past without remembering it afterwards?

      I suppose this is so, I've also had the situation, that I had an LD, and then went on with the night's usual dreaming, and had also almost forgotten about it in the morning. Some people doubt it, but if it's only a short one, maybe one, where you're not breaking through to complete clarity - yes - I guess one forgets these from time to time, esp. if you don't wake up, but loose yourself in the dream at some point.
      With better recall - more of those will be accessible - need to practise mine quite urgently...

      Thanks StephL! It's motivating me a lot.

      Exactly how you're describing: I lost my lucidity, did not wake up + less lucid then my first LD.

      The same night but earlier, I dreamt I was falling but didn't brake bones. I knew I was dreaming, but didn't care for some reason.
      I guess gaining lucidity is a building up proces.

      I'll be writing down my dreams right now. From like a week or so.. 2 hours 'task' here we come.

      Don't know if this counts.

      Spoiler for Advanced #1:


      I didn't get it out of a closet or anything, but I did put on a costume that made me teleport to where that person was (wish I had gone to Amerstris).

      Oh and @Dark_Merlin - I absolutely love singing to myself in dreams as well - if only one could make a direct recording!
      We've been thinking about realizing creative impulses from dreams, including trying to capture dream-music in here:
      http://www.dreamviews.com/general-lu...lized-irl.html
      If you would hum it to yourself on a dictaphone and try and emulate it with software like FruityLoops - with some enthusiasm, it should be quite easy.
      One could "extract" sparks of inspiration, I'm sure, even if the music ended up sounding more like a shadow of the original.
      I suspect, that even people, who think of themselves as not musically talented or inclined would end up singing beautifully to their own perception in dreams, if they tried. I think, we all "have it in us".

      An almost last min completion of the bonus task!

      My awareness goes up and I recall the bonus task: create a new song on an instrument that doesn't exist in waking life. I have some doubts about how exactly am about to proceed as I haven't really considered this during the day. At this moment two butterflies appear in front of me and I briefly fix them one next to each other thinking this will make for a perfect instrument. Now the only thing that's left is for me to start playing. After moving the glued double butterfly instrument around a bit (I think at this point it started making the drumming sound), I take the two butterflies apart and holding one in each hand, I start producing the song by methodically tapping with them the corners of an invisible frame. This results in perfect drumming sounds. I repeat this movement until the beat and melody is solidified in my mind and then allow for further beat variation. Happy to have completed the task I briefly think about the experience. The dream/scene soon dissolves.
      Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.

      Sliding in at the last moment! Basic TotM.

      My front door has five door handles and is also made of glass. I open the handle in the middle and push the middle section out. It occurs to me that I could phase, but I don't really care enough Outside, the sky is slanted oddly, and reminds me of a hallucination I had as a child. Weird! It is early morning out, and I magically have a grassy backyard with trees in it (and not a dirty street, as it is in WL). What did I want to do? I know I wanted to fly into space, but, eh, not now. What else? Oh yeah, TotM! I look around and see a pumpkin on the grass. Neat. I walk over to it, and realize it is mostly collapsed in on itself and is rotten. Easier to get inside! I begin digging through the black, rotten innards. At first, seems like nothing in there. But I think, Come on, pumpkin! I know you've got something! And there was something! It was a d4:

      xopaque-16mm-light-bluewhite-d4-3401-0012-0012.24.jpg
      It is blue and cream swirled. Nothing super special, but still kind of cool. I look at it for a moment, then carefully place it on the patio (part of me wants to say I place it on top of an 8-ball? Not sure how that makes sense!). I then remember I want to transform into a tree. I find a big oak in the grass (there are some others in the dirt but I want to walk on the grass ). I place my hand on the trunk and begin trying to fuse with it. My hand and arm are changing color to match the trunk when I wake up.
      Rest of dream is in DJ!

      Broke Dry Spell and Sucked Vampire Blood. =-) Finally!!!

      I was in an elevator and checked my hands several times repeating, "I'm dreaming" over and over so I could prolong the dream and stabilize it. I was flying in an enclosed area and after a while became claustrophobic and wanted to get out. It just seemed I could not leave the area so I decided to try and change the scenery by falling backwards. I was flying again but this time along the East coast of the United States, which is where I've always wanted to travel. I arrived at this theatre. I was on the stage and remembered the TOTM of finding a pumpkin. I thought, perhaps when the curtain pulls back I can find a pumpkin. Before I could even get to the task I remembered that scene in the movie, Interview with The Vampire when Armand is in that theatre for vampires. I wanted to recreate the scene. There was a male DC on stage and decided I could bite his neck. The thought of biting into his neck and sucking his blood made me kinda sick but I decided that I would probably get over it and after all, it's a dream so it might not be too bad. So I went for his neck and I barely had to bite down before blood was on my lips. I could actually taste the blood as if it were real. Ewww! lol It tasted metallic. This must be because the brain has the information of what blood tastes like in those times as a kid when you bleed and you lick the wounds. Anyhow, I stood back and made the mannerisms of turning into....something. The first thing that came into m ind was turning into a werewolf, which I thought would be awesome. So after grunting and making the noises and mannerisms of someone turning into a werewolf, I expected my expectation or intention to manifest in the dreamworld. Nothing happened. I didn't turn into anything. lol It was kind of annoying. I tried prolonging the dream by looking at my hands every now and then and repeating, "I'm dreaming" over and over and managed to make the dream last for what felt like 30 minutes. I started to stare at a beautiful mountain in the distance and remembered that if I stare at something too long that this might destabilize my environment. By this time it was too late. I tried falling backwards again only to end up in my bed awake.

      Awesome, starlet. Very cool movie, IwtV! I was reading your dream during a class and started laughing when you just ran around grunting Good luck next time!

      @Aristaeus: Cool dream with the Temple of Time! Would love to visit there in an LD.

      Man, you guys are killing it, great stuff! I made another attempt at Task of the Month where I did play a dream instrument, but it's not cool enough for me to claim wings just yet. Three days left... hope I can get it!

      I still want to try playing a dream instrument, so I hook my right pinky and left thumb together to form a pantomime trumpet. I blast a few notes into this “trumpet” and it sounds like very realistic but very, very poor trumpet-playing. I’m pleased that I made some dream music this way, but I still don’t consider this to be the success that I was going for.

      I get those kind of wings from time to time, Mine are more like featherless chicken wings... Usually I seem to flap them madly while paddling around the wreckage of some girl a foot or so off the floor in some kind of victory dance, They never did make me fly..

      I think OB is going to have a lot of leftover wings this month, Maybe she will invite us to a wings and beer lunch..

      Hi! This is dreambh here, with new username.
      I think I just got Basic TOTM! Right on the last day...
      I remember the bonus TOTM again so we go down to the street and (I don't remember how) I get a weird musical instrument made of triangular reeds, which I (falsely) believe exists for real, so I decide to play one of the smallest reeds as a flute (using a part of the instrument which is not an real instrument) producing a short, poorly-tuned melody, which I don't remember
      EDIT: Oh, and full dream is here http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/bhar...m-flute-61806/
