Wow....I sure wish MY parents had made me watch "A Nightmare On Elm Street" repeatedly as a child...
Hahahah... Maybe the Nightmare series had also to do with this with the chaotic FAs... but usually I normally just "benefit" from those movies when I have a lucid without dream control nightmare to summon Freddy for help hehehe.
It was an EXTREMELY chaotic dream... I believe I am a skilled oneironaut and yet I lost all awareness in all planes, including waking. I got lost in the waking plane, I could not even trust positive reality checks and could not prove at all if I was awake or asleep.

ULTRA-INCEPTION: ToTM Done ~ Over 15 FAs, 10 lucids and non lucids in one single dream (DILD)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
I have a long load of dreams to upload, but since this is a ToTM I must now. Been busy and I am behind in writing everything down. This was a very strange dream, a mix of astral projection, lucids, non-lucids and waking... I ended up very confused when I woke up for real.
I had a FA in a big hotel room, I believe I was in Australia. This was a very long dream and I lost some of what happened, but a weird wasp stung me and layed some eggs under my skin. Said eggs hatched almost right away and I started to feel very sick. I went to the ER and I was told that surgery was needed. They needed total anesthesia and I was worried because I just ate. I figured I was going to get sick big time once the procedure ended. I realized that I was probably going to astral project due the anesthesia. When they administred it, I passed out and suddenly, found myself floating above my body.
I was dreaming of an Astral Projection, but non lucidly. I was flying around and I passed out again.
I had a series of FAs and falling asleep several times, like a big loop.
At some point I did a RC and realized I was dreaming. Despite being lucid, I was still buying that my physical body was receiving surgery. I was in a big house and I took a flight to make my dream stable. The sky was clear and I could see a very bright light. It reminded me of the Bonus task of the month, to visit the ISS and watch a sunrise over our planet.
Flying to space was pretty easy for me and soon, I got to the ISS. As I was approachng at it, it looked like the real thing, but then, suddenly it morphed into something like this:
I was standing on the edge of this station and I could see our planet and a very bright light on the very edge. I saw the Sun rising right behind the Earth and the beams of light from the sun had a few different shades of yellow, white and red. I was happy to accomplish the ToTM Bonus so I decided to complete some dares, however, I passed out again.
I had another FA, I was in a room and I realized it was not the hospital. I turned lucid and double checked checking my hands. I could hear a lot of noises, like hospital noises despite I was outdoors in another dream. I started to worry about the surgery and lost lucidity.
I had another few chains of FAs small lucids passing out and more non lucid dreamlets, all with brief real awakenings (in my real bed) and installing back to dreaming.
I had another layer in the same dream where I was projecting myself and I saw my body, almost wrapped up with the surgery. I had x-ray vision and I could see how they removed all the parasite eggs from my body. I also saw my stomatch, still full with food and I knew i was going to puke everything and feel horrible once I woke up from the surgery. I could touch other people while in this ghost form and they would feel me, but not see me, I was fooling for a while.
I FAed in the hospital bed, and I was feeling pretty bad. I passed out.
I had another FA in vegas. I had a short lucid and I quickly passed out once again to find me in another false awakening.
I had then again another FA in my car. I was parked in front of a Wallgreens and my wife was in the passenger sit (I was driving asleep? lol) I turned lucid out of all the non-sense, but my wife told me that I was not dreaming and prevented me to do a reality check. I knew this was not my wife because we encourage each other to do a RC.
Other FA in a room.
Another FA in a different room, outside a building at night. There was a car parked and they asked me if I enjoyed my trip. Apparently, they caused all of these dream to happen, it was a company called, "9 clairvoyants dreamer"
I woke up for real.
I did over 15 different RCs where all gave positives (I was awake...) but still I felt afraid I would be fooled again. I went to pee and wanted to go back to bed, I knew eventually I would be 100% back in the waking plane.
Always, no sometimes think it's me,
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a yes
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree

Well, from one who continually struggles just to get lucid only a couple times per month recently, getting "stuck" in a long FA loop seems like a "dream come true." I guess I'll have to wait for it to happen to me to see if I like it or not.
I begin walking off into the snow, planning to do the portable hole TOTM. I reach down to feel for a pocket. I'm wearing my fuzzy pajama pants which I know don't have a pocket. I try to force there to be one by pushing into the seam with my hand, but it's no good. I pretend to throw something down and a dark splatter appears on the ground. I didn't expect this so my eyebrows fly up and I say, "Oh!" I go look at it and as I get closer it looks more and more like I just threw water on the snow, causing it to melt.
I turn around and suddenly it's even brighter outside, I'm at my Dad's house, and there's no more snow on the ground. There's a hill thing nearby and I throw my invisible hole at it. A perfect round hole appears! I excitedly jump at it, but as I'm going through I notice there are ants all over and inside the hill. I immediately come back out and stand there away from it. Those talking guys from earlier are back, standing in the yard, still talking. One of them is very tall, strong and has a head and beard full of wild, cherry-red hair. I walk out to a flat part of the yard and throw down another hole. It appears, again perfectly round. I walk to it and see that the inside is banded in blue, red and orange. I also see that it curves forward at about 8 feet down. I'm a little afraid to jump in and I keep looking back and forth to the guys standing near the road. They say things that are vaguely confidence-inspiring, still just talking to each other. I face the hole and decide I can take it.
I jump in and slide quickly down the tube. I hear my own voice yelling out over and over, "I'm the Doobie Master! I'm the Doobie Master!" lmao wtf. I slide down the tube for a while in total darkness until I feel like I'm in the void. I open my eyes and I'm lying in bed but it feels like I'm in my old room at my Dad's house. There are some DCs leaning over me like they've been waiting for me to wake up. We exchange some words and laughter, then I wake up for real.

Nicely done
Looks like you had to fight through some challenges in the beginning but also caught a couple breaks. I hope I can catch a break or 2.
Yep! I seem to get lucky a lot, lol. Things kind of fall into place if I keep on persisting and not doubting. Confidence is the best tool. I wish you luck with the tasks!
Hi all!
Tried the jogging task, but didn't go far as two old men started following and distracted me - afterwards they morphed to be loved-ones...
...The vividness of the scenery increased and I was there, walking in the seaside street. Yes! I was so happy! I remembered the jogging TotM and decided to keep on walking and observing the scenery. I was walking on a dirt road and on my left was a beautiful sandy beach.
A few bushes were on both sides and beyond the sea, I saw a strange silvering mountain with some kind of flag on top (if that was real, the flag would be huge) that changed shape as I was looking at it. I kept walking and the scenery didn't change a lot, apart from going uphill and downhill and passing by a few trees. Then I noticed that I was being followed by 2 old men....
P.s. That was my #100 anniversary Lucid and I am glad it was a long and beautiful one!
"...what we experience is our model of reality, not reality itself. Perception is dreaming constrained by sensory input. So it’s a constrained dream, whereas dreaming is perception free of constraint. What exactly is the difference experientially between the dream and waking state? And you see, it’s the same stuff. It’s all illusion! "Stephen LaBerge
Well, from one who continually struggles just to get lucid only a couple times per month recently, getting "stuck" in a long FA loop seems like a "dream come true." I guess I'll have to wait for it to happen to me to see if I like it or not.
If you're only semi-lucid and there are also nightmare elements it can be very unpleasant indeed. I got stuck in an 8+ FA chain before I got into lucid dreaming. Not being able to wake up is a horrible feeling.
Always, no sometimes think it's me,
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a yes
But it's all wrong

You guys progresses are awesome.
Now its brake and so I got some chance to wtbt wild. but I'm not very good at it. nvrmind.
Congrats to all .
I hope I can take to the ISS
I tried the portable hole task. I missed the hole when I jumped but I ended up falling into the ground and teleporting anyway.
I try to jump into the hole, but my balance is so poor that I miss the hole completely. I end up falling through the floor anyway. I find myself in an open orange underwater dreamscape with long hourglass shaped bubbles all around me. I try to summon a dolphin but I don't get anything. I wake up.
The portable hole task tied in rather well with the ISS task .
Spoiler for Dream excerpt:
I'm on my matress, on the floor, in my room. I think of the TOTMs and decide to try and pull a portable hole out of my pocket, but instead I pull out a cat. For some reason I am quietly aware that this cat is part of the Russian Mafia. It pulls out a little revolver and points it at me. At this point I am so weirded out that I drop the cat, and it disappears.. into a conveniently placed portable hole. I step in, but the gravity shifts halfway through and I bash my head on the floor. I slip into the hole, and I'm suddenly in space. The stars start appearing, one by one, as if they were loading. I look to my right and see the Earth, and the Mafia cat. It meows, and points it's revolver at me again. The ISS comes out of nowhere, speeding at hundreds of kilometers a second, and crashes right into the cat. I decide to speed myself up in order to match the ISS, but instead I start spinning the Earth from top to bottom. Annoyed, I close my eyes and teleport into the ISS. I look around as the new dream scenario builds around me.. and I notice the same goddamn cat, clinging to the ships, still pointing it's revolver at me. Although there's a gigantic hole in the ISS' hull, nobody seems affected. I blast the cat into the hole, and it flies away, much like how team Rocket flies off in Pokemon. There's even a little ding sound and a shine. I use telekinesis to patch the hole and walk around until I find an astronaut, then I ask him "when's the next sunrise?"; "5 hours.". Great. At this point I become troubled by the mechanics of a sunrise, until another astronaut tells me, "you could always hitch a ride to Sun Rise Kingdom". "What's Sun Rise Kingdom?", I respond. The two astronauts look at each other and the first one tells me: "It's like.. sunrises, everywhere, man. Everywhere. Toilet, cat, they have every flavor.". I politely tell them to fuck off, for some reason. I decide to create a sunrise by transforming the Earth into the sun, so I look through the nearest window at the Earth, and try make it into a star, but instead I blow up half of the US. I try again, and and Earth just instantly transforms into the Sun. I realise this is not the same as a sunrise and just end the dream.
I've no idea why my dream control has been so awful for the past couple dreams. Everything works out in the end, and all that I tried to do I managed, but not before several encounters with the Russian Cat Mob and dropping nukes on LA. The dream itself was pretty funny though.
Through my experience, became aware of my breath, then
Began to cultivate my art with the intention of the heart,
Started to use my sentences as reflections.
And what I saw was God was in all of us and we all come to be interconnected.
And all that was depended on all of us
And had effects like a domino when you let it.
Go with the flow, that the universe holds.
Look out Frying man, I'm back in circulation, I was really worried I was losing my knack for it!
I had to stop for lunch before finishing writing it up....
Oh-Lord Forgive Me....
4/03
7:00am..I was leaving a country road biker bar where I had parked my blue motorcycle across the road but when I got to it it was a huge, White Harley, Maybe 4 feet up to the seat but I got up on it and it was the same as my old first motorcycle, 3 Speed hand shift on the tank, Foot clutch and kick start.. I Did like the old days and set the spark, Felt for the compression stroke in the starter pedal and turned on the switch, Then with an almighty romp on the starter I pooped my pants.. I hopped off and paddled back toward the bar just off the ground as my pants sagged then fell off and I thought "This is a dream..Freedom at last"......
I took off floating back up the steps of the green screen porch of the bar and right thru the door and the open arch to the bar and sidled up between two really big bikers. One on the right was big and dirty with a beard and a big belly, The one on my left might have been me another time with long gray hair and mustache in a denim jacket and fairly clean, And behind the bar?... My neighbors daughter with short blonde hair wearing only a camo tank top.
Now I thought about the tasks but I didn't have pants for pockets.. Then I noticed the top of the beer glass and it was a hole so I tried to pick it up.. I stuck my finger in it and pulled and it felt rubbery like an invisible condom so I put it in my shirt pocket and got back to the barmaid, She knew me right away and she was burning hot but I remembered my tasks and tossed the hole out of my pocket on the floor and it went right thru leaving a small hole but I can go thru any hole so in I went but someone grabbed my ankle and yelled "Wait for meeeeee" And down we went into a very large bathroom and standing beside me was the barmaid and now we were both naked,
All of the walls were white curtains and on one side there was a huge white iron tub, As big as a horse trough and full of water, The girl immediately stepped in and sat on the edge with her pink bumm hanging over the side and I was groveling on my knees behind her literally praying to it, Then I got in the tub and she got all the way in with me and we rolled around in it for awhile loving it up until she impaled herself on top of me and we exploded then lay still for only a second before I said "Were wasting dream time"
I pulled open the curtain on the outside wall and it looked like another dimension.. A vast sea with smooth swells and the land masses were floating over them and made me kinda seasick for a second or so but then I grabbed her hand and flew out over the water, The floaty islands didn't look safe and I stayed high because I didn't know what might come out of the water after us, (Almost over)
Off to my left I saw a larger more stable land mass covered with bare brush and small scragy trees and landed there beside a small boy, Maybe 11 or so and he was whittling something and I said, "A Scrimshaw" and he said " Yes but I need a piece from the top of that tree, Can you get it for me?"
I looked up the tree and it kept getting higher until it started to bend over when it go to the roof of this weird world or wherever it was and I said " I can do a lot of things in dreamland but I don't think I can do that, My time is almost gone" Then he led us to a shelter of sticks with a bed of sticks in it and we laid on the bed and the dream faded.....I woke up actually feeling in my bed for that girls pink butt in there with me.......
... I chained it right into another lucid with no task in mind but then that's another story ...
Iv'e had more LD's in the last 7 days than in the last 7 months, I wonder how long this streak will last

Reason: gave up trying the spoiler/saving posts
Couldn't recall any of the tasks this morning (even my own). I asked some DCs, but they gave answers that were either wrong, or were older tasks (plugging in a Christmas tree?). I finally decided to just fly around. Next time!
It was an EXTREMELY chaotic dream... I believe I am a skilled oneironaut and yet I lost all awareness in all planes, including waking. I got lost in the waking plane, I could not even trust positive reality checks and could not prove at all if I was awake or asleep.

ULTRA-INCEPTION: ToTM Done ~ Over 15 FAs, 10 lucids and non lucids in one single dream (DILD)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Sounds like quite an ordeal!
An ordeal indeed... I wouldn't want to repeat it... When I was out of bed for real (in the middle of the night), I had a mild state of paranoia... I was completely lost and had a lot of weird thoughts like i had dreamt my two last days, etc... Not an awesome thing FryingMan!
I suppose. But just try to imagine getting lucid only a couple of times per month for several months despite your best efforts to try to get lucid every single night, and I imagine you'd start really craving *any* experience beyond plain old non-lucid dreaming.
Tried the jogging task last night. Met up with some other joggers lol. Dream didn't last long and I really didn't get anywhere interesting (my mom's driveway). I'll try again soon
I attempted the portable hole task again a few nights ago. It went better than last time, but I think I'd like to try again with better vision.
Everything was dark and the dream felt very unstable, but I thought I'd work with it and try the portable hole task again.
I reached into my pocket and felt some material scrunched up in there. I pulled it out and laid it on the floor in a circle, working only by touch.
I dove in and felt myself falling head-first through a strange void. There were loud electronic sound effects like something from The Matrix:
Objects started flying past me - I recognised some items from my room, but others seemed foreign.
Everything came to a sudden halt and I found myself staring at my pedestal fan. I wondered if I had opened my real eyes...
I hadn't, but this thought woke me up anyway.
Well, forget jogging. Don't like it in waking life, don't want to spend dream time on it. But I'm totally going to throw down a portable hole that leads directly to a deep roman bath full of woblybil's mirror girls, smelling of perfume and whining that the lights don't work. Two wings with one action, feel free to try it out .
I suppose. But just try to imagine getting lucid only a couple of times per month for several months despite your best efforts to try to get lucid every single night, and I imagine you'd start really craving *any* experience beyond plain old non-lucid dreaming.
True, but a small piece of advice. Stop saying how hard is to turn lucid, you said it three times in this post alone. You are telling your subconscious that is indeed hard to lucid dream and making it harder for you. Careful with what you think, it can be a bad schema. Remind yourself that you turn lucid more and more and becomes easier every night. Keep the motivation up
