Lucid Task of the Month for June 2008

**AniaFaery** · 06-06-2008 11:07 PM

i managed the basic task last night without even trying...the dream was pretty long so if you don't care about the rest of it, skip to the bit in blue...this snippet was taken from my dream journal which is why it appears to start at random...

aaaaaahhhh...lucidity at last...i've noticed that alot of my dreams involve people who are in places they shouldn't be, so i've started looking for such things as dreamsigns...this one was a gentleman who i fired about a month ago and haven't seen since...in the dream we were travelling together...i don't remember where we were going, but we were flying...initially we rode to the airport together and had some trouble finding a place to park...the parking deck and facade of the airport was the same as Charlotte/Douglas Int'l in Charlotte, NC which i'm very familiar with because my mom worked there for years before moving elsewhere...once we found a place to park, we got a shopping cart (cuz that's what you do at airports right?) and in the shopping cart was a smoke bomb like we used to play with as kids only much bigger...

it was at this point i became lucid because E (the former coworker) decided to throw the smoke bomb in his car...i don't know why...but it was such an absurd thing for him to do and then the absurdity of me travelling with him struck me and i thought, "i'm very obviously dreaming."...while i was having this epiphany, E threw the smoke bomb into the car and i held my nose to avoid the smoke...seeing as how i could still breathe, i figured that was all the RC i needed and then i just went with it...the whole time i was living in lucid land, i was also vaguely aware of my bedroom and my cats roaming around on the bed...

walking into the airport i noted that the facade had changed and was no longer CLT...it was an airport that i've been to before but i couldn't actually place it and it was suddenly night time even tho moments before it had been bright daylight...we went thru the doors of the airport and as we were checking our bags there was a gentleman complaining to security that his smoke bomb had been stolen and he was angry...he showed them a picture of E's car with smoke pouring out of it and told them that he wanted to know who owned that car because whoever it was had stolen his smoke bomb...i shrugged it off and then the dream cut to actually being on the airplane...it was a puddle jumper or a small jet...it had two seats on either side of the aisles...i was sitting on the right side in the aisle seat and don't know the girl who was sitting next to me...E was sitting behind me at the beginning and at some point moved to the aisle seat across from me...the flight attendant gave us a choice of what we wanted to watch...one of the choices was Shrek The 3rd...the other was some police drama-type television show but it was from the 80s and i don't remember the name of it...Shrek won because of a young child in the back...

the lights in the cabin dimmed and the movie started...i don't remember much of shrek, just seeing the Shrek character on the screen in sort of a holding pattern...apparently the kid fell asleep and E decided he wanted to watch the police drama...i leaned my seat back and instead of moving 5 inches like they normally do, my seat and the seat next to me laid back into a completely flat futon type waterbed...i snuggled up and the television show came on...it was very obviously filmed in the 80s...it had that quality to the picture where it's kind of washed out...like the colors arean't very vivid...the only image that i remember seeing on the screen is an office with a man sitting behind a desk and an older woman standing off to the left arguing with another man who's standing in front of the desk...instinctively i know that it's a police drama and i think "oooh, i like this show..." and then "oh! i should play attention, this is a lucid task!" at which point i get completely distracted by the fact that i'm laying on a waterbed futon thing with a woman that i don't know...so i started bouncing on the waterbed and seeing if i can pop her off the other side...she's either a super heavy sleeper or she's dead because she's not waking up...

and then i woke up...and started giggling about the fact that i was trying to pop some random woman off the waterbed....it struck me funny...

I have to work at night so around between 5 to 7.30 I was getting some rest.

I was standing on the top of a building looking towrds another building and concentrating on the air conditioning that was there. after a few seconds the image became more amore clear at a point that i became so realistic that I was afraid that i'm gonna fall off the bulding and get killed. I got scared and tried to get off the building, suddenly I found myself on the ground floor.

I went to my cousin's house and after a few seconds I became lucid spontaniously, I ran inside the house from room to room still not believing that I'm lucid. I performed a few checks to see how really is a lucid can be compared to reality by looking at myself and see if my body is seen through my eyes excactly as I see it in real life, allthough the dream was maybe 50%-60% lucid and the vividness was not that sharp I could see my body as real life, it was amazing.

after I checked myself I went to the leaving room and then I remmembered about the basic task so I watched T.V. the channel was channel 2 on israeli tv, at first for a few seconds there was only the logo showing of the channel and nothing happened so I wished something cool will be on tv and a commercial for the Israeli "American idol" was on. I saw the judges on an airplane. one f the camera man showed the tatto that he has on hes ass of a bus company. all of the people on the airplane acted in a very stupied way. after a while the commercial ended and another commercial started, I wasn't at the mood to watch so I went to the kitchen to try and fly off the window but the dream faded and I waked up.

My vivid Lucid dream:-
I moved into an apartment in Tokyo that backed onto a wooded hillside, the apartment was filled with Fed-x boxes (I guess my stuff?), there were cracks in the roof from earthquakes and at that made me think at the time that the dream was going to become a disaster story (it didn't).
Out the back of the house an old lady was showing her grandchildren what mushrooms to pick in the wood, I wanted her to help me find some "Special Mushrooms"

but new I would have to wait for her to finish with the grandchildren.
I decided that while I waited I would go see how the pigs were doing in the pigpen in the corner of the yard (which looked like a giant aviary) but realized I didn't know how to tell if a pig was unwell so I went and asked a few people who happened to be walking around in my backyard, they told me that if the pig was sweating and pale around the ears it was unwell (?).

I went back inside the pen but one of the pigs had given birth, however it looked like a cartoon pig and was laid on its back and the babies were like spiders with a pigs head and they were living inside the pig like a nest, gaining entry through its belly button. The pig was rejecting its young by scratching at it's belly button driving them out but when I looked down into the belly button the pig was hollow and the lower back was cracked open like plastic from where the young had forced their way in (so messed up!). I was then distracted by the bees we kept in the pen that were becoming quite numerous so I left and went back into the flat.

>>>Some fuzz happened at this point so I can't remember what exactly happened to get to the next point<<<

I was in a room in the corner of my flat that was quite spacious and had tables and chairs with two vending machines just like a cafeteria. The tables were covered in supermarket bags and empty bottles and there were three other people stood around having a drink. I brought myself a drink from the vending machine but accidentally got it mixed up with another guys drink and was embarrassed so said I would get a new drink I went to the vending machine kneeled down, clapped my hands together and slapped both palms to the front of the machine (like on Fullmetal Alchemist) and all the contents fell into the recovery draw at the bottom.

>>>This is the point I realized that I was asleep and became lucid due to the fullmetal alchemist move being a suggestion by someone on this forum<<<

Then I thought "Why am I wasting time getting fake drinks from an imaginary vending machine? I can do whatever I want!" at this point the vending machine was a wall and the room was no longer a cafeteria I thought oh the task of the month that I haven’t done and turned my head Left to find a big old TV and very dirty, ragged, red leather sofa and chair. The TV switched on by itself and the film "The science of sleep" was on even though I haven’t seen it yet. The screen then flickered and random images some happy, some sad some disturbing flickered before my eyes and this was interlaced with a symbol of a round orange eye with a diagonally slit pupil and moving images a "The ring" Girl coming out from behind peoples bedsteads and slitting their throats and her coming closer to me until she was right up to the screen which turned off.
I was very uncomfortable at this point as I knew that the ring girl was coming for me, I knew that I was dreaming and I knew I could wake up but I didn't want to waste a good lucid. I then made up a false memory of something written on this forum about the eye and the girl, so I set about finding information so that I could workout how to fight back.

I quickly worked out that my mum knew about this girl (for some weird reason) and after much coaxing I managed to get her to tell me.
So basically this girl was an evil dream entity that was taking the form of the girl to scare me and was slowly gaining access to me by drawing me into the place between awake and asleep so that she could take me into the dream world physically.
As I was being told this I was sat on the sofa in the living room of my old house I turned around and there was long black hair hanging over the back of the sofa so I stood up and backed away but there was hair under the sofa as well. I knew she was coming for me so I thought to defend myself and I thought "What is the best defense...I know Turrets!" so I summoned small missile turrets in the corners of the room, and covered the walls in tiny gun turrets and the floor in small fighter jets.

The girl then appeared at the far side of the room and all my defenses activated but they weren't hurting her so I was thinking "oh no!" but then I thought "wait I’m in control she can't beat me anyway" and I pulled the knife she had out of her hand and threw it away. What I hadn't seen was that she had a glass of what looked like water in her other hand which she threw at me, at 1st I thought it was acid but the realized it had made a weird hole in the ground like the floor had become liquid. she pushed me back and I fell in and started to rot like a corpse but I managed to climb out and pull her with me and when she came back out she started to die like I had so she died and I tested if she was dead by stretching her face out so she looked like a poorly drawn Manga character (she didn’t get up) So I won! (YAY

) and then I woke up.

That wasn't the end of my lucid dreams either but i can't be bothered with the one about falling out with the dream world government and the one about being a superhero finding out what it's like to do the wrong thing.

Lol, I can't remember if I ever chewed on a tree branch before or not. But it's just wood after all. I know it wouldn't taste as bad as all that.

Maybe I'll have to go do it and find out.

Thanks for giving me the wings by the way. (If that wasn't a mistake.) I wasn't expecting to get credit for that one, since I wasn't able to post it on time.

**AURON** · 06-10-2008 08:36 AM

Seriously,

It was a quick DEILD...I found myself in my bed, and I got out.....and everything reset, and I was back in my bed. I thought about how everything in my room looked, and how i was going to get out of bed, and tried it again. I got out of my bed again...quickly, and just before I was going to leave the room i thought about the task of the month. I looked at the tv, and it looked like it was a HD tv because of the width, but it still had the depth of a normal tv. I turned it on, and saw people with green uniforms and hospital masks on. Apparently I was watching an episode of MASH. And the screen kept flickering like when a monitor or tv is shown through a video camera. I changed the channel and it had some Mexican soap opera. Things kinda switched from me watching the tv to me being there....but my body wasn't present....and thats all i remember.

Is it allowed to summon a rabbit, or do you have do find it?

**ninja9578** · 06-10-2008 01:57 PM

You can summon one.

**AURON** · 06-10-2008 06:05 PM

half way through the dream i found myself lucid at a place that turned into my side yard. I thought about the advance task of the month as i walked to the road. Two turtles popped up before I saw a rabbit. Finally it appeared and went into the ditch and underneath a walkway...I followed it into the hole and saw that the area had a sharp right turn instead of leading to the other side of the driveway. At that corner. There was this metallic square with detachable pieces and behind each piece that i removed it gave a clue to where and how I would use it. I had the feeling that I played this game before and I knew where to put the pieces at. I got out of the ditch and realized my house had an extended connection. I heard a phone ringing and thought that may be coming from reality, and I'll probably be waking up soon. I rushed over to the extension and jumped through the window. The pieces disappeared as they shattered, and I landed in a kitchen. My childs grandmother was there cooking chicken for my daughter, and I wanted to try a piece before I woke up...it burned my finger a little, but tasted good.....

**AURON** · 06-10-2008 06:18 PM

and yes....this is the first month i've completed both tasks of the month

My overall dream recall has been crap over this year, but my ability to get lucid and do tasks of the months really surprises me.

**Punk Candy** · 06-10-2008 11:43 PM

It actually is the first LD ive had and it was because of this task!

I had a dream where i was watching T.V in a blue room, i was sitting in a soft red couch while eating brownies, in the T.V there was a Harry Potter movie playing but cant tell wich, and my friend was sitting next to me.Then my friend started to faint,and out of nowhere in seconds she was inside the TV telling me to join her and i vanished into nothing, everything was white and silent, until colors started to apear in front of me , lots of lines, like a stand by channel on TV. and then i fell into nothing all could see at the bottom of my feat was grass, and i said to my self i must be dreaming!this is where my LD begins so i screamed "i dont wanna crash!" and i landed softly in the ground and woke up....

THANKS FOR GIVING ME AN LD!!!!!

:bravo:

Reality_is_a_Dream (and anyone else), you could always send ideas for the next month's tasks to one who has completed this month's task. I know I wouldn't mind submitting someone else's idea and I just put yours in as follows:

Here is a another task that was suggested:

I think I did it! I'll edit this post later after school when I have time to write it down. Do you need to watch it for a while or can you just look at it for like 5 seconds then go away? (A TV)

**gamefreakzach** · 06-14-2008 05:07 AM

I managed to do the basic task the other night, but I couldnt do the advanced one.

I was at the eiffel tower for some reason, it was light out, but night only cofee shop was open, i checked my watch and It was randomly changing numbers eraticly. I became lucid and went in.

Inside was a T.V and I rememberd the task and started watching. first was some movie in a foriegn language, next was the super mario bros. super show theme song then I woke up...

That's good enough, but you do need to post your dream

*looks at username*

yeah... not for me, no...

I'll think of anything to do when I'm bored...

Cn · 06-15-2008 05:25 AM

Okay well it wouldn't let me edit that post so here was my mini-lucid-fragment with a TV in it.

Blue - Lucid task part

Me and my friend were smoking behind our highschool when two cops came in. This is when I turned lucid. I flew off, and I felt the dream fading. I was doing everything I could to stay in the dream. It started getting darker and darker, it looked kind of what it would look like when you invert the colors on a picture. So I'm floating about 20 feet off the ground (maybe more) and I could see the cops below me, I could see my school (Which was oddly mishapen) And a cop car parked in the front, sirens blaring and both doors wide open. (I played too much GTA 4) I flew off, I ended up in a busy city, much different then where I really live. I saw a huge TV which must have been 10 feet by 10 feet on the top of a tall building. On the TV was someone flying. It was me, except I looked much older. I floated there for a while watching the screen, and the dream snapped out. I just woke up in my bed with intense vibrations.

**Sgeo** · 06-15-2008 06:22 AM

I got the Basic Task, even though I thought at the time I didn't. It was one of those lucids where you think "How the F--- did I not get lucid sooner"

Spoiler for Sgeo's Dream:

**Tara** · 06-15-2008 09:23 AM

I sort of had a WILD (I think I quickly lost consciousness during the transition) this morning and at one point when I was fully lucid, I saw a TV and remembered one of the tasks. I walked over to the TV and there was some show about zombies, but they were dwarf zombies. Then it became real and there was one running towards me. I screamed, "DEAD!" and then pointed at the zombie and he fell to the ground. I did that to all of the ones that were coming after me and eventually lost lucidity and the scene changed.
Strange indeed.
