Thread: Task of the Month for November 2014

Somehow this month's thread slipped by my mouse pointer. I just did a quick review and no kids have ever appeared in my dreams that I am aware of and have logged. I shall attempt to summon some, but can't promise any results. However, I do sense a Mission Impossible type of turkey extraction in the near future.

Became lucid while laughing so hard doing a RC just fur doing some lucid-related jokes with a couple who apparently came from DV and I was so happy that finally I got to know somebody from DV in WL when I noticed the RC was showing another thing and I was like: "Wait a minute, it's a dream actually!! Hey! It's a dream!! Hey, I said it's a dream!!" Then to demonstrate it, I showed them the huge jigsaw puzzle (around a million pieces? ) about a funny parody of batman and co. on the ground, to finally levitate on it for a while. Then I was like "Come on guys, we have to remember some TotM's!!" But no one of us was able to remember any... If they were kids, I would had completed without noticing the basic ii but I didn't remember that one neither. They both were in yellow and black latex dresses or were they just diving suits? Not sure, but they looked like superhero suits and the guy's face looked like the Spiderman guy from "The hangover: Superhero edition" and the gal apparently was somebody known from the DV staff, but she looked like one of the girls in the same short film.



I think it was a long wave of induction produced by Oneironaut Zero's latest entry in the Lucid dares thread because of I dreamed that in the nap after I read his Spiderman related post...

Say it ain't so, woblybil!

Well my excuse is a long, tiring, double-jet-lag business trip (just long enough to get over the jet lag and start it all over again upon returning home), but I'm adjusting by settling into a strange polyphasic (multi-hour naps and shorter "regular" sleep periods) pattern where my "naps" (whether late morning or early evening even!) are producing some vivid dreams. Nothing lucid yet but awareness is reasonably high in the dreams, it's just a matter of time. Dream signs galore everywhere I look, geez.

Aw, I unintentionally jumped into leaves NOT in a pile. I know what I'm doing tonight. Task here I come

I did Basic Task #1........


11/07/2014
8:30pm I dreamed I was at my old apartment on Center St in Salamanca and decided to go for a walk (paddle) down to the coffee shop around the corner on Broad St.but then thought about the leaf task and even tho I was awake (I thought) I'd look around for a leaf pile and started across the street when it got very dark and I got dizzy and crumpled down into a ball in the street and being dark I was afraid o getting run over so I rolled to the curb and sat on it wondering why the street lights did not come on and then remembered the time change and in a couple of minutes the house and store lights all blinked on along with the street lights.
I wondered about my dizzy incident and looked at my hands and had assortments of fingers, five, then six, then three and said I'm dreaming but it seemed to be getting lighter and I thought I'm waking up dammit and rubbed my hands together and checked fingers from time to time and rubbed my hands together whenever I could almost involuntarily.
I set out paddling west over the street looking for leaf piles but none there in the west end business district so I said I need more speed at first over the street heading back downtown but it was slow so I tried to fly up over the trees which were very thick and got astraddle of some wires I couldn't seem to get out of and had to hold them all together noting they were insulated and lifted each leg in turn over them with the other hand.
Finally free of wires and treetops I went toward downtown and went back down over a residential area of brick homes and it was still sort of twilight like and looked for leaf piles and there were a lot of smaller shallow ones in yards with kids already playing in them and there was a huge pile in the yard of a monster brick house that the kids were afraid of so I tried to just buzz thru but there was already someone in there, A Girl I think but I blasted out the other side and back across the street barely missing a kid speeding toward me on a snowboard and back over the sidewalk my thoughts turned to *Girls*
I floated down a side street looking and nothing for me so I went to Main st North and looked but the place seemed dead. Then I looked up to an apartment building high on a cliff-side with a baby clinging to the wall a thousand feet up and I flew up and pried him loose from the walls and asked him how he came to this end with no reply and I floated back down to town with him and landed on a sidewalk near a park and looked for someone to give him to and he started licking my ears, both of them with a long, slender Pink tongue more than a foot long and I asked him "Are you sure you're a boy ?" And he said "They told me I was" and just then a man dressed in a gold suit holding some kind of golden weapon came up to us and said he was a Zombie hunter and needed to shoot me..I told him I'm not a zombie, I'm a lucid dreamer and he said "Oh-yeah, I've heard of that and he wanted to know more but I flew away with the baby to a factory that was letting out and went to the main gate with a guard and handed the little demon over the gate to him and turned and the golden zombie hunter was there again pointing that thing at me and I said you don't want to shoot me this far from home, Maybe I can offer you a ride and I wrapped an arm around him and took off and that's the last thing I remember....(My fingers are out of breath) Then I started to DEILD and thought better of it not wanting to lose what I had already and even then I'm still recalling stuff.

You were supposed to jump into a pile pf leaves for this task.

I likely wrote some things funny,

I flew in there (unless I should have gone feet first) and there was someone already in there that said "eek"so I flew out the other side which makes me think, You girls might want to poke around with a stick a bit before hopping in, Someone like me or Fryingman may be lurking in there

PS: I don't get these exotic lucid's often lately, And there were so many things I missed that came back later like the leaf piles along the street that I was afraid to get into for fear of being run over and the people walking on the sidewalk while i floated over them looking for a suitable girl victim but they were all couples or lone guys and they were waving to me and asking what I'm doing up there and I answered "I'm lucid dreaming, aint it great?" And I could have gotten another if I had remembered it was a task when I told the zombie hunter and baby demon I was a lucid dreamer and i'm still remembering more too, But if do get another chance I will be eating the Presidents turkey. .

SSShhhhhhh!!!!! Dangit, woblybil! Don't ruin my best hiding place! Besides, can't speak for woblybil but I'll treat ya right so dive on in

Besides, nothing to worry about ladies, I was busy last night: kissing my "sister" and scratching her chin with my beard, and heading in to shower with a couple of hot young people but I had to first get a squeegee from the refrigerator but I kept finding only cheese and other incorrect things, by the time I gave up on that and headed to the shower they were done and getting dressed, doh! Full details (and much more) in the DJ writeup sometime this weekend.

Dreaming is making a good comeback, dreamsigns GALORE last night in two more vivid, multi-scene mini-epics. Lucidity is just a matter of time now.

Kids, kids everywhere!!!

Last night I saw a bunch of kids playing in an abandoned ground in front of the building I was visiting, and they were doing some dangerous stuff hanging on some ruins that I was worried one of them was about to fall...

Completed Basic Task: Tell a kid they are in dream. I goofed the wording a bit, let me know if it's no good

I try to think of the other basic. Oh yeah, tell a kid they are dreaming. I am on a path in the woods, and a jogger is coming towards me. She is a kid, maybe like a high school student, but I check just to be sure:

"How old are you?" I ask.

She stops running and faces me. "16."

"You're dreaming!" I say.

"If you don't shut up, I'm going to hit you," she says.

I back off, and she continues jogging.

Rest of the dream here: "Dream Difficulties" - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views including a big fat fail for the leaf task, as well as an incomplete advanced task (cut your hand off and serve it for dinner)

You girls might want to poke around with a stick a bit before hopping in, Someone like me or Fryingman may be lurking in there

Almost completed the leaf task, but woke up before I could finish it.

Doggies, kitties, and girls; oh my! - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Thats ok, Sometimes I don't understand me either.....

I still haven't gotten lucid this month but my dreams are getting longer and more vivid, finally!

I hear ya brah (sis!). Longer and vivider (vividder?) every night. Wings within the week, mark my words!

Basic Task i - Jump into a pile of leaves

...My vision returns and I see the door mat that we keep inside. I smile and stand up quickly reaching for the door knob. The basic TOTM is on my mind and when I step outside I look for a pile of leaves. There are two bushes on each side of the porch steps in waking life but here in the dream one of them is the pile of leaves I am looking for. I walk to the edge of the concrete and turn around. I put my hands out and fall back into the leaves. I hear a loud, dry leaf sound... CHISSHSH. As the leaves disperse, I feel and see a dry dead bush appear. I land softly and slide on my back several feet as I hear something like the sound of a buzzing bee hive.. BUZZZZZZZZ. I recognize this sound from one of my son's toys as I wake up

Just for you Non-Believers

7:00pm I ate and laid down on the bed for a nap, I awoke in a nonexistent chair by my desk with another me standing naked leaning over the computer, I actually thought of going back to jumping in the leaf pile for the "eek" in it but instead I roamed around the apartment looking for sex toys that I knew didn't exist but found some in a dresser drawer anyways,
By the time I returned to the living room the other me was gone and I was aware I was lying in bed..All this means !....
"Never take your eye off the prize"

There... that could be me some months ago

I completed the leaf task!

I ask him where the leaves are so we can play in them. We go into the backyard and turn the corner to the left. The backyard is a good sized fenced in area with a big lawn and lots of piles of large leaves. I look for a pile that looks big enough and flop on top of them. The leaves are soft but slightly crunchy. I look for a bigger pile and gather some leaves together to make one a couple of feet high. I flop on top of them. Flop! I feel wonderful, feeling the satisfaction of completing a task which took me several lucid dreams to accomplish.

Full Dream-TOTM success-leaf pile - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

I couldn't sleep last night or all day so tonight I try for the turkey and if you can't guess the fate of the turkey,
Just ask "Daisy Duck" what happened to her.

WILD: I enter dreamland but it's all very dark, the ceiling is very high, maybe it was a church or something like that. As usual, my dream control sucks when I lucid dream by WILD method, I try to imagine a pile of leaves appearing but since it's very dark I know it's going to be very difficult, so instead I search for a DC (90% of my DC are always kids, so there's no problem). I find the kid and tell him it's a dream and he answered: then why don't you wake up mommy??
---- totally unexpected lol.

Well, I did get lucid... barely. It was really low-level. And it turned into my first lucid nightmare ever... It's was fucking terrifying and when I woke up in the night (at 1:40, after less than an hour of sleep) I couldn't close my eyes for about an hour without feeling that my room was haunted and something was looming over me.

So yeah. Lucid, but it wasn't fun. Still hoping for these tasks!
