Yeah, By the time the end of the century rolls around they'll be too old to care

I brought this over here, I got too many dreams to write up for the TOTM page ..

Some of the best moments I had in lucids is when I touch and feel some item. The details can be amazing.

I am not surprised though that we don't do this a lot in dreams. Since we don't really do it during day, when awake. I guess that would be part of awareness, which I really lack. I want to work on that. Be more aware during day and during sleep.

While I was at I re-read the page I sent about awareness a couple of time for it to sink in and had the wildest night of dreams I have had in a long time, Recalling back so far I lost the beginning which was really the end of the dreams and was the best part, Situation awareness used to be my strong point by necessity but no more it seems,
Now to go get the recorder and get started writing for the DJ

Hey guys! Question to those that are able to complete all TOTMs by day 3 and most of the TOTY's by day 5. 0_0

First of all, incredible skills. Awesome, that you guys are able to lucid this well. But, is there a task that would be challenging? Can you think of anything that you would not be able to do this fast? Just curious?

The problem is like I used to be, If your'e good at LD'ing NOTHING is impossible! ..

And I'll try to put some luminous bugs here for you, Don't know if it will work..
It didn't

Yeah, I understand. Another thing I wanted to mention is that it's not just difficulty of tasks, but how many lucids can someone have in one night. Since for TOTY's you have to wake up between them, so chaining or DEILDing is no allowed, but if you have 2-3 or more lucids a night, you still finish the tasks fast.

I had four Lucid's last night but I lost one in recall and the other is rotten to the core

For a really a hard task, you have to do a task, e.g. create a solar system.
But, you have to do 100 observations of what happened. Of course, no DEILDs. For create a solar system, you would have to revisit it 100 times, and write a detailed description for each lucid. Some have said this task might get unenjoyable, but wouldn't it be fun and engaging to create a solar system from scratch, checkout the planets, map them, discover creatures, watch them evolve, meet new civilizations, and make new friends. Then, you can move on to another star!

It's the first idea I've heard, And the only Idea I've hear so that makes it the best Idea I've heard

I believe this concept of visiting something 100 times, could be applied to other ideas as well. Like, visit the subatomic world, visit Middle Earth, Visit Hogwarts, and a ton more. Your obsverations would provide VERY interesting reading.

Interesting line indeed
LD observation is often fantastically rewarding

After I finish all the "Task of the Year" task, I have no plans on doing any more tasks for a while.

Maybe not a hundred times, I bet that would suck after the fifteenth time, especially if one's doing it just to get some achievement. Let's not overdo it.

Although I have been there a few times in dreams from movies, There are volumes dedicated to the "Hollow Earth" Theory which was still adhered to by many as late as 1965, Hitler went to his grave still searching for it,
Google Hollow Earth" from Wikipedia just for fun...
Just saying

There is no way I would visit somewhere 100 times. My dreams have zero persistence between them, so if DEILD is not allowed there is no way it'd be the same place again. Don't think I'd want to repeatedly go to the same place, even if I could.

Also, I'm in the permission groups for having done both advanced and both basic TOTMs, but my wings show twice with one star and two.... Think it might be broken.

Suggestion for advanced dreamers for the rest of the year is to bring a beginner who has less than one lucid a week up to intermediate standard by coaching and inspiring them.

You can find it in my journal, it was fun (it was sort of a sacrifice... I was a bit late for my standards, like half way in the month, and while I was going to take revenge on some jerk sending the Grim Reaper to him, my cat was about to wake me up (double consciousness) so I asked the Grim to harvest me haha (the task was to witness a soul being harvested, so did the work lol)

This is worth some pondering... interesting stuff.

Back where we started this thread we talked about supplements some. I always used 5-HTP periodically, Mostly to smooth out the bumps and help get to sleep faster..Howsomever!
When i'm in control of my dreams its fine, But at times like now when my dream-sign catching is at an all time low it causes Nightmares for me anyways!

Maybe use the nightmares as the dream sign?

Using the nightmares as a dream sign is the whole plan of it but my dream catcher is broken

I feel nekked this month. I thought I will be able to sleep more while on my visit with family, but that didn't happen. I adjusted to European time on a day before last : P

Sorry everybody for all the late wings. I'm back now and caught up on stuff.

Did you run around Europe neeked too? Anyways, Happy you're back...

I just woke up a to a terrible racket out front, There was a bunch of workers in hard hats standing up huge,rough hewed, square wooden poles with points on the end, with maybe 10 ft in the ground and 40 ft in the air! they were setting them tight together in a trench being cut by a giant ditch digger machine and it ran right thru my front yard. I asked one of the workers WTF is going on and he said "It's the new border wall" The poles were up about halfway across my yard but left loose and leaning inward for another crew to set and finish up..I heard another roaring noise and asked him "What's that?" He said "The Railroad racetrack" I could see then a souped up old railroad engine going down tracks on the other side around curves like a crazy and making an awful roar, He said "There used to be some kind of control on them but now they could do pretty much as they please" Then I woke up again! Worried!..
I thought you all should know.
