Thread: Lucid Task For The Month Of December 2006

Hello, I just wanted to say that I completed both tasks last night! Unfortunately, I was too sleepy to write it right after I woke up from my lucid dream... I went straight back to sleep instead. Resulting in the loss of lucid dream feeling to normal dream feeling... so I have some problems recalling, but I will try my best.

Inside an unfamiliar house, I am chatting with a young boy when out of blue, I remember about somebody on this forum completing a lucid task by giving a gift to a young boy so I become lucid. I grin and say, "Hey! I almost forgot... you have been chosen to recieve a gift because you are special and it is almost Christmas!" I decide to copy what Clairity did, putting my hand behind my back... nothing appears (I expected that because it didn't work for her lol)! He gives me a weird expression like, "WTF?" I laugh and cup my hands together and suddenly, I feel something solidifying in my hands. I open my hands only to see a brown leather bag. He takes it and opens it. It has all euro coins in it (*sighs* what a boring mind I have...). I smile and say (in attempt to make it more special), "Now you know what they are like. They are genuine and I brought them from Europe! Enjoy it!" I turn around and get outside, trying to remember what next task I am supposed to do. Mind reading! My lucidity is extremely low and hard to control so I decide to change that. I look at the paved street (parking lot), trying to pay attention to the details. It is blurry at first, then it is like my brain has to scan/load them into higher resolution before I see the details. When I finally see the details, I look at my hands.. they are all wavy and deformed. I examine all wrinkles, colors, details that I have on my palms and during that, I continueously confirm to myself, "Increase lucidity now!" I look around, feeling satisfied with my lucidity level and I fly away in search of a dream character to mind read with. [snip] I am inside with some people. I am still lucid. I take a deep breath and concentrate. I begin to pick up random images from people about a bloody murder case in a strange place (perhaps a mental hospital?). I also mentally hear a shout for help from a teenager girl with her own kid. I constantly see bloody images and I do not know who it is coming from since I am mind reading all people in that area. There is somebody that is terminal ill that involves with blood too. It is like watching a photo slide movie except that it moves in a much faster rate and it has 3D and brief story inside it. I also experience it as if I am this person sometimes. The next thing I know is that I have lost my lucidity and am a teenager girl with my kid (got lost in my mind reading?).

Weird eh?

So yeah, as you can see, I have completed both tasks. Big thanks to Clairify for getting me lucid (associations to young boy and stuff like that). I am proud that I even got lucid since I am very rusty on that. So thank you for monthly tasks, that gave me some inspirations to do it. *bows*

Okay, I SWEAR I posted this before; but anyways. I completed the lucid tasks in my 3RD lucid dream since joining a few nights ago. I was walking along near the basketball court, and I became lucid. I don't remeber how, really. I remembered the lucid tasks, and I decided to do them. I saw that someone was playing basketball, so I turned around and grabbed a basketball out of midair. I decided for some reason that I wanted it to glow, so I fixed that in my imagination and tried to make the ball do that. It didn't, really, but it did start to send out a beam of light like a flashlight. I turned to the guy and said: "Here! I got you a glowing basketball!" He grabbbed it and said "Woot! cool! great! yeah!" and returned to his game. I then thought of the next task, and saw that someone was sitting and watching the basketball player. I decided that I was going to read her mind (I think that it was my english teacher?) and I materialized a "mind reading gun". I'm not exactly sure where the idea came from, but this seemed to be a very low level lucid, and I just grabbed it out of the air in answer to my intention. It looked like a purple and chrome pump shotgun, with a thirteen inch LCD screen attached to the side. I pointed it and pulled the trigger, and things started to show up on the screen. the first one was that the shot had hurt a lot, and then some junk about how two of the baseball teams that she'd been following had comunist pitchers, and something about Dan Rather. I was then going to go flying, but I woke up...

Thats interesting, thats the same sort of feeling I got with the pirate/crew mate guy in my lucid task. I unfortunatly killed him in the process. His "slide show" was about the destruction of his ship many years ago, there was a lot of violence and I could swear i saw Johny dep for a sec (Pirates of the Caribian style). All in all i got the point of "cursed ship" from the whole ordeal. It seemed almost like a movie or a T.V. show, like when they do flashbacks to catch you up on a side story.

Yeah, I have had telepathy/mind reading experiences before when I was lucid, but this one was way different. It was less emotional and way more movie-like. I found that strange. I guess my mind wanted to do it differently this time.

Off topic: Pirate of the Caribbien is a great movie!

ok ill skip to the part where i did the task. i walked to my brother who was laying on the couch. i put my hands behind my back and felt somthing strange start to happen i pulled them forward and nothing happened, but now my hands were magnitized to him! so thinking fast as my hand rushed towards him i said "its the gift of magnitizim!" he got all confused and i laughed then decided to go upstairs to find a different gift. it was odd.

You're so very welcome Dm7.. and I'm proud of you too (it was a great LD)!!

It's so cool to read how many people are whipping their hands behind their backs trying to make things materialize!! I also find it amazing that so many people are REMEMBERING to do that while lucid!! It's almost as though my "putting your hands behind your back" became part of the "give a dream character a present" task!!

Good job everyone!

yeah u inspired us im going to go find a better present to give though. mine kindof sucked lol

I completed the basic lucid task! Plus it was my first true LD!!!

ALL of the dream was LD
Dream: I was in a hallway where whenever I turned the hallway shot out farther, so I decided to spin and that when I stopped spinning I would be at the beach. It did work, sort of. I was at the beach fighting the first colossus from Shadow of the Colossus, except he was way darker as if he was covered in shadow. I jumped up his back and when I got to his head I started to fall. I looked into his eye and all of the suden I teleported into the dream city. A beutiful women in a nice dress walked up to me and asked if I had her present. Remembering the task I said "sure," and I bent over to pick it up. She opened it and it turned out to be a teddy bear. she told me that we should go home so that she could give me my 'present.'

At that point my sister called my name (in real life) and I woke up. She wanted me to lock the door, since she was leaving, which made me angry because she had her own key. I'm still shaking because it was so exciting to LD!

that is the thick of the dream, there are little bits and peices I left out because they don't add anything or lead to anything (they are mainly just bits of imagery.)

I used the "reverse blinking" technique by Sythix. Thanks for the technique!!!

SO EXCITED!!!!!!

congrats cidus on your first LD. It should get easier for you now that you've done it once. Have fun LDing.

YES, I finally did it after a month of pretty much no LDs. I was dreaming a dream that seemed awfully much like a Playstation game I used to play, so I figured that it must be a dream. I managed to conjure up a little yellow package with a red ribbon and gave it to a friend of mine...but he never opened it! SO annoying. I actually tried again later with the same gift but my alarm rang just as he was about to open it...grr. Well, At least I did it

Hmm, it may be possible to read the DC's minds by eating their minds, kinda like in Stanislaw Lem's The Futurological Congress where you eat a book in order to learn it contents

Thanks! I had a short LD last night, I destroyed a town

I was searching for one of my dream characters in one dream that i keep having (it's in a underwater dome) my dream character is this one guy that lost his daughter to a stray bullet....when i had finally found him..his was in a church praying for his daughter back.....i walked up to him and touched his shoulder and told him that i had something for him.....he told me he didn't want to speak to me....but i kept on trying to get his attention.....I gave up an went outside....and my alarm clock eventually went off and i woke up.....AHHH i went back to sleep (back to the church) except i had something with me ( his duaghter) i told him that i had something for him he turned around and yelled that i couldn't give him what he wanted. after he said that he looked down at his daughter and picked her up..... i walked out the church glad at what i had done....then my alarm clock went off again AHHHH.

jump for joy :yumdumdoodledum:

I went back to the underwater dome (same place were i gave my character a gift) and i went back to the church were the guy and his daughter were praying. I walked up to him and asked if i could speak to him again.... he kept talking about how gratefull he was to have his daughter back...I just kept starring at him trying to figure out how i could read his mind. then he asked me why i was starring at him and not saying nothing....we kinda stared at each other for a while and i'm thinking to myself.....do it do it read his mind....then i put his head to mine and looked deep into his eyes

and read his mind and this is what i got

WHAT IS THIS SYCHO DOING....GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OF ME!!!!

i let him go walked out the church and AHHHHHHHH...my alarm clock went off

Ah, the power. Got to love it. The easy part is to destroy it (and quite fun), the hard part however is to build one.

Does "giving" a date to a girl count as a gift? (Even if it did, too bad I wasn't lucid. )

Awww.. this is such a sweet LD! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

Hi folks - Happy New Year! Been away for a while... Saw the Lucid Task of the Month section last night (great idea&#33 and as always happens when I frequent DV (thanks again!!&#33 I had a DILD last night where I completed the tasks.

[in brief]

Realised I was dreaming as I jumped from a wall and floated down with an umbrella. Remembered the tasks. Found a plaza with plenty of DCs. Approached a group of hoodies and, ignoring the others who barged in demanding theirs, offered the first a present. He gladly accepted my umbrella (I had a moment of selfishness thinking "That cost me 5.99!" and "What if it rains?". I then asked if he would let me read his mind. I explained that I had a dream last night where I was told to come to this place and give a present then read a mind. (I had a very clear thought process going on which reasoned that I couldn't tell him he was in my dream and this was a DV task as this would make him think I was mad, and more imporatntly would ruin the magic/ authenticity - i.e. if i went fully lucid there would be nochallenge as I could get him do/be anything). Anyway, a large crowd gathered as I placed my fingers on his temples (thanks to whoever it was who suggested that). He jumped back as if hit by a bolt of electricity "WTF was that?" he exclaimed, "Sorry," I replied "must've had the power set too high. Can I try again?" He agreed! I then listed several things that came to mind, each of which he said was wrong: "You are thinking of Mr. Galtieri"(???), "Bannanas?", "Ducks?", "Glitter?" et al. At the last two he said "Now you are just describing my T-shirt!" Sure enough his T-shirt had glittery ducks on it!!! I then realised that he was actually thinking about his girlfriend - but I didn't ask him to verify this as I knew it was correct and didn't want to freak him out - also it seemed too obvious and easy, somehow like cheating at the task. So in their eyes I had failed. They were sympathetic - as you might be to a crazy person - and said "Never mind mate, better luck next time." I replied that it was vitally important to follow your dreams no matter how crazy they might seem. Then noticed the police were loitering and began to worry that they might arrest me or something (loosing lucidity&#33 so woke myself and wrote down the dream.

Im determined to complete both of these tasks tonight.
:]

Just made it in time ...

I got lucid just long enough last night to remember the 'present' task. I ran after a passer by and presented him with what turned out to be a melon! He didn't say much, or seem too surprised, but I wandered off feeling smug

I also had a go at mind reading, via a photo of someone...but have to confess that bit wasn't whilst lucid. At least I was on the right tracks...

I only found out about these tasks this week. Great idea. Looking forward to January's homework

Happy new year all

Zhine

Well this is the only way I'm going to get my name in this topic this month...HAPPY NEW YEAR!



Looking forward to a new year and new tasks.
