Made some attempts this morning in Lucid
Advance 1 - Couldn't see through to the other side when putting my head through the floor ...tried a couple of times and floor was all goooy then just dark so gave up - will try agin soon :rolleyes:
Advance 2 - asked a DC in the form of a beautiful bird ( yes been conversing with nature recently it's cool :D ) The bird spoke a word I couldn't understand like " Slooow" or something like that when I asked for a new method of dream control ...I realised when I woke up I didn't ask her to show me the method :D ...so will try this one agin soon too. Anyway I went off for a super fly and used the " Slooow " method by slowing myself right down and stopping the dream by bringing my arms down ina firm movement and stopping in mid air ( not sure what I was doing but it was awesome :lol: )
Augh! Once again, I jeopardized my chances by misconstruing a task! Shoulda remembered that Advanced Task i required peeking through the floor, not just any barrier, or a ceiling, in this case. Then again, what's a ceiling, but a floor upside down? ...right?

Advanced II - Asked a DC to show me a new method of dream control. So apparently if you draw a red cross on a tea-bag, then lie on the floor and stare at it, you will astrally project and/or then become permanently invisible like Hollow Man. :D

Hey...You never know! I've seen some pretty funny ways of AP'ing..
Personal favorite AP is after a half hour of good meditation music or beats is to turn off the lights, stare at a candle flame in the dark then put it out, Stare at the red spot in front of my eyes after until it zooms in and to surround me or pass thru it and i'm on my way..If no AP it makes for interesting dreams anyways..........

PS, I'll just ad this here three hours later..

3:30am Just after explaining here how to AP easily I tried it but without the candle and turned it into an instant lucid dream.
I'll just put it over here! http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/wobl...er-2016-78434/
And that's what I meant about making for interesting dreams :yddd:
Got Basic II. I needed way more points for the competition, and I just HAD to encounter a group of girls first thing :/. At least I made it through the game...
Yay another early TOTM. Wings for almost a month for the 2nd month in a row!Spoiler for Rock Paper Scissors:
Got Basic I and Advanced II but still can't get to Candyland which is where I really want to go.

It's really interesting that people are having issues with the head through the ground thing! I guess our deeply ingrained schema that there's just dirt down there is hard to overcome! I can't wait to give it a try myself!
for me phasing thru walls and vertical stuff is kind of second nature now because i practiced it a lot. but i never attempted horizontal stuff. i know some people teleport by jumping into the ground and similarities. only thing i´ve done so far was drawing portals on the ground and then jumping in. ah and one time sinking into a mirror i placed on the ground. but sofar i ran completely thru everything and the idea to peak head first is an interesting option i think. you can check things and if you dont like them undo them. i am also interested in phasing thru the ground more often now because i think its a neat thing when you can do it just like that and land in the void or even the location you want to go!
and i get what you mean with "issues" that there is just dirt. but i did it without expecting anything and get exactly that. same with last month totm put your hands in your pocket. there a lot of people also noticed that nothing is in there if you dont expect anything :) so next time maybe i will expect something to be there and then put my head there. and i am pretty sure then i will found something. maybe i expect there to be a rabbits hole and maybe i will go inside?! :)
Keep up the great work everyone!! :D
I like the idea of checking out the other side of the floor. That one could be really interesting. :)
Another DILD, yay, briefly thought of having a DC show me how to look through the floor, but woke. Pretty happy I caught this one.
Spoiler for DILD, LD#219:
i see what you are trying. two totms with one action yea? neat idea. but is "showing how to look thru the ground" really a "ability" to get shown by a dc? in the first moment i would say no but when i think longer about it... probably yes. i mean what is Dreamcontrol? to do things that are not possible in waking life?!
for me most of the time its something more special like fireballs or teleport of flying or stuff but i think i need to rethink my definition of dreamcontrol. feel free to give me yours :)
Actually, doubling TOTMs was not my intention at all, I only had the look through the ground task on my mind. And yes, of course, asking a DC is absolutely valid dream control. What is dream control? Causing something you want to happen in a dream to happen. Period. Means is irrelevant. Using DCs is an excellent approach, by introducing an element of indirection, you're bypassing the need to suspend disbelief of having to yourself do something "impossible", to simply believing that the DC already has the thing you want, or has the ability to do what you want. There is no difference to having a DC do something than using your phone in the dream to do something, or waving a magic wand, etc.
And technically, if I had doubling on my mind, I would see these as two separate things: 1) friend shows me how to do it, then 2) doing it myself
Yeah I get you. But I didn't mean that using a dc is not a dream control. I meant that let him show you how to stick your head into the ground would be advanced ll (and sticking the head into the ground would be kind of a dream control by itself that gets shown by a dc) And with that it would be kinda Two tasks in one.
Asking DCs for things is pretty cool. Like you said it's way easier to do something when you see that it is possible. This is the way i learned to change say into nighttime ;-)
If the DC showed by example by doing it first, then you do it, in two discrete steps, I'd say they were different. If they showed you by pushing your head under the ground, then I'd agree it was one task.
I got Advanced I but still can't get to Candyland.

Failed TOTM attempt.
Occasionally my control just refuses to work properly. :sad2:
You can see the lucid dream here http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/natu...ty-fail-78617/
I like the paper scissors rock one. I'm so silly to have only come to see these halfway through the month. -_- Small chance of being able to get it done now, lol.
