      Lucid Task of the Month for June 2008

      Introduction:
      This topic is for the Lucid Tasks that are assigned by me or voted on by experiences dreamers. Please attempt one or both of these tasks throughout the month.

      Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task, your efforts should make interesting reading! This is required in order to get credit, it is no longer sufficient just to say that you did it.

      Whoever completes either of these tasks gets the following goodies until the end of the month:
      • Your name will be displayed in ORANGE in the online members list at the bottom of the main forum page.
      • You will receive a special title and badge.
      • You will receive access to the "Lucid Task Club" which is a limitted access forum for people that complete the lucid task each month.


      Tasks for this month:

      Basic Task - Watch TV, tell us what's on


      Advanced Task - Follow a rabbit down its hole




      * The task specifies that you have to follow a rabbit, which means you have to first find a rabbit, then get it to go down it's hole, then you go after it.

      Hmm, I think I can do the basic task fairly easy, but the advanced will be a challenge.

      Cool! Can't wait to try the TV one. I'm glad we don't have to climb into it to qualify... although I will try that as well.

      Definitely don't think I can do the advanced. I was lucky to get the basic for this month.

      You can climb in if you'd like. I didn't want to make that mandatory because it seemed too advanced for a basic task. All of you that wanted to though, I expect to see you jumping in, I know that I will be

      I'm really curious to see what some of you come up with down the rabbit hole.

      Well, I dreamed of tvs but I wasn't lucid... nor do I remember what was on... lol... the power of suggestion.

      I dreamed I broke my old small black and white tv and I was disappointed until I realised I had three other LCD tvs. So I started arranging the tvs on the walls of my bedroom. It was cool to be able to watch tv from anywhere in the room. I showed off the reception quality to my dad so I know we were watching something.

      Anyway, not a success but just interesting that the topic would come up in my dreams.

      Righty, then! To my dream:

      I was lucid, wandering around on the campus of a college. I was bored, so I asked myself if I had any lucid tasks. Then I remembered the TV one. I found a door and used it to teleport to a room with a TV. Some DCs were already there, they seemed happy to see me. The TV was a huge plasma wide screen. I summoned a remote control and switched it on, anxious to see what would appear on it. The first thing I saw was some sort of food, that looked like burned onion rings. It appeared to be a commercial (there was typical commercial music, sorta classic I think), so I used the remote control to change the channel. Now, I was watching a car race with regular cars, on a grassy field. It looked very... unorganised, with cars driving here and there. I changed the channel again. Now there was some silly show with "who can kick whose ass", an ambulance driver appeared to be sparring this firefighter at the side of a street. There was some kicking and pushing, and as it was going on, the other DCs started betting on who was going to win. The firefighter won when the ambulance driver fell over first. Now, a cop was sparring the firefighter. The DCs were betting that the cop would win. I woke up before it was over.

      My rabbit dream

      I became lucid and was indoors. There were no rabiits around but I saw a guinie pig and changed it into a rabbit. It was white and very tiny and had huge eyes and huge ears. I followed it and the hole it went into was a small hole ina wall. I had to squeeze through and it was a closet on the other side. I followed it under a bed and some other tight spaces. I thought it would be easier if I was smaller and I shrank some. I saw the catapiller from Alice in Wonderland and he offered me a puff from his hookah. I felt light headed. He asked me to give a peice of the mushroom. I handed him a peice and I took a peice also. The peice I took didn't do anything but the peice he took made him grow big and he was mad.

      I ended up in the house again normal sized and saw a tv. MTV was on and a music video was playing. I didn't recognize the song or the band.

      Wow, you literally went to Alice's Wonderland. Yay! That's what I was hoping to read for that task.

      I had a lucid dream this morning and was able to complete the basic task.

      Unfortunately, I didn't wake up right away when the lucid ended and then I had a false awakening where I thought I was writing down the details of my dream. I then woke up with a start when I realized I hadn't and lost most of the minor details but below is what I do recall. For those not interested in the "how" I became lucid but in the dream itself.. simply skip to the section in dark red.

      I got up at 3:30 am and went to my livingroom couch. I said my protection mantra while putting in my earplugs and decided to try something different while waiting for the "shift".

      I decided to mentally sing the chorus from the song 'inchworm" from Hans Christian Anderson but with my own slant on the lyrics (for those who've never heard it: http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/wind...294657,00.html )

      The real chorus is:

      Inchworm, inchworm
      Measuring the marigolds
      Seems to me you'd stop and see
      How beautiful they are.

      My chorus was:

      Dream Guide, Dream Guide
      Teaching me to lucid dream
      Seems to me that you would see
      How desirable they are.

      I kept repeating this chorus over and over in my head and when I felt sufficiently tired, I rolled on my side, felt the "shift" and then took one long slow inhale through my mouth and found myself lucid.

      I was in a furnished room that I didn't recognize but I see that a big screen tv against one wall is on. The tv must be high definition as the picture is brilliantly clear and vibrant in its colors. The picture on the screen is of sailing boats skimming gracefully across the water.



      I watched for a minute or more and then walked into another room only to find another tv. Only this tv was showing video from a family vacation which I "sensed" to be me and my family only it wasn't me nor my family (if that makes any sense).

      Unforutunately, the rest of the dream was lost to my memory.

      Cool! Some of you find this so easy! I'm so jealous.

      I tried to WILD last night many times but failed. I did have some HI and some funny thoughts though.

      At one stage I was thinking about the rabbit in the hole one and thinking I would get awfully claustrophobic if I got stuck half way in. Then I wondered if that wicked witch that was with me would pull me out. Then I thought, of course she won't, she's evil.

      I was still awake while I was thinking that, lol. (And I had just watched "The Chronicles of Narnia" earlier that night... hence the wicked witch.)

      I had never seen that movie before or The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Nor have I seen Alice in Wonderland... I'll have to google it to get my imagination going.

      Sorry for rambling...

      Aww, don't worry, you don't have to find magic mushrooms or anything, just go down a hole that a rabbit did.

      I'm going to try the TV one tonight. I would try the rabbit one but what are the odds of finding a rabbit? I've had very good luck going lucid this week!

      Arrow hmm! follow that rabbit!

      I had the rabbit one because i think it was on my mind when i didn't think i would be able 2 do it.
      It happened very early in REM i just saw a plain old white bunny rabbit and it was next to it's hole which was at an angle not directly on the floor like bugs bunny's, i was already small i guess because i wasn't thinking about my size, so i just followed it down with a jump and i fell into the normal rabbit hole with the rabbits bum dissappearing of into the tunnel ahead of me and i thought this is boring and the floor gave way underneath me and i fell again... I have memory from this point of very colourful surroundings and i think sombrero style patterns but i can't remember it clearly cause i probably didn't get up for another 3-4 hrs after that. I really need more practice on waking myself up after completing a task because i have a habbit of just dreaming on.
      Anyways i'm not happy with my dream and am going to have another go this week

      P.s. C.S.Lewis books rule!!!

      I'm actually kind of surprised I managed the basic task last night (this morning, technically). It had been over a week since my last LD, and my recall hasn't been that good. I'm also still a novice, and since all of my LDs are DILD, they always come as a pleasant surprise I've also been having tons of FAs the last couple of nights, and haven't remembered to RC, despite some obvious signs (most notably, a talking otter - I told it I couldn't talk because I had to get to sleep ).

      Anyway, here's the section of last night's LD related to the basic task!


      There's also the thought in the back of my mind that I have a task to complete, so I return to the ground. There's an LCD tv sitting in the middle of the room. It looks like it's already on, since there's that empty-channel static/snow on, but I want to see more, so I hit the power button again, and there's an image of the guy from Third Rock from the Sun (I just looked it up, French Stewart - I only watched this show once, and it's been canceled for a long time, so who knows why he's on the tv) - he has longer, spiked up white hair, and a light purple shirt. The image is of him from the waist up. It pans back, and he's talking to someone, using a lot of hand motions. I didn't get a good look of the other person, just that it was a man, also with white hair. Although they are talking to each other, they are speaking gibberish - a lot of w and b sounds. I decide that I want to try and write down what I'm seeing, though I know I won't have the piece of paper when I wake up. I think that somehow it will help me remember. I turn to my left, hoping to see a pen and paper, but there is a table with two pudgy fingers. No hand, and no blood to suggest the fingers are severed, but just two fingers. I look away, and now I have a piece of lined paper and a blue crayon. I put the paper down on the table, and start writing "30 Rock." In my dream mind, I keep confusing "Third Rock from the Sun" and "30 Rock". They both have 3s and Rocks I guess, and I never saw either more than once or twice. I look further down the page and where I wrote "30 Rock at the top," there's now just a blue line, kind of like my writing was crossed out, but no sign of the words, or any erase marks. Every time I write something, this happens. The words won't stick on this paper. Still, it's amusing how it works to me. I know that I should focus on the tv, but I really wanted to try writing. I then wake up (another FA ><), apparently because I finished the task - same thing happened with the last TOTM.

      Basic Task Complete!

      I did the basic task. Here's the whole dream:

      Night of 6/1

      GARGUYLES! SLYKICKS!
      June Basic TOTM

      I left my body to find myself trapped in my room. I checked the door, and found that I wouldn't be able to go through it. There were, however, two extra windows at the top of my room. I floated up to peer through them. Eyes peered back at me. The belonged to three gargoyles sitting on the window sills. One of them looked kind of like a barn owl, and the other two looked more or less like regular gargoyles. Even though they were made of stone, they were all breathing and moving just enough that it was obvious they were alive.

      Some people have the worst taste.

      I knew this trick. The things are programmed to attack me if I go through the window and fly away. If I were to go back into my room, they'd leave me be again. I didn't feel like taking on all three of those things at the same time. They all gave me the creeps and it was very distracting.

      Instead I decided to check DV on my dream computer. First I went into the chatroom. The usual people were there. I asked them for their advice on my situation. They all said, "You should stay where you are; you should listen to [Scott]." Like a bunch of good little brainwashed boys and girls. Ew. I checked out the task of the month and remembered the TV task.

      I turned on the TV, and it was Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil was interviewing some young man who'd apparently been molested in the orphanage where he'd grown up. He was obviously very traumatized; I wondered how Dr. Phil could parade people like that on national television and still sleep at night. Dr. Phil brought out a surprise guest, some girl who the boy had known growing up. They both cried. Another girl from the same place was in the audience, and she kept disappearing (not literally, she was just sneaking off). After she did this a few times. Dr. Phil went up to her to confront her about it. He made her out to be some kind of villain which I couldn't quite understand.

      Ok so I had another WILD last night, and I sat down to watch TV for a minute.

      The Simpsons was on which I found odd because I haven't watched the show in years, all the characters seemed really fat except for Bart, and his name wasn't Bart it was Brad Pitt for some reason heh.

      I changed the channel and The Simpsons were on again except this time it was the "feminine" like boy eating an ice cream cone. I changed the channel again but I can't remember what was on after that I think it was an odd version of Lost though. Anywho, was wierd.

      OK!
      now this dream after I wrote it down it I was like..woah.
      anyway, here's what happened.
      I was sitting in my front yard, when my dog started to bark.
      I looked over and there was this huge evil bunny.(lol)
      I ran at it and it ran away into the woods behind my house, and I fell into it's hole.
      I tripped and started free falling 20 feet, and slammed on the ground.
      I got up, brushed the dirt off my face and started running down what looked to be a coal mine. I ran down as far as I could go, Just kept going and going.
      something distracted me from behind (forgot what) and I looked back, and as soon as I did I tripped and fell into outer space. I saw the rabbit again eating earth.
      then I woke up heavily breathing with sweat running down my face.
      it was weird o.O
      I ♥ DREAMVIEWS. I always have, and I always will. There is nothing else to it.

      The basic one was kinda trippy for me, my TV was basicly a mirror, except I was the mirror image, it was all delayed. So the 'self' I was watching would move, then I'd move, but I felt as if I was doing it myself. Pretty weird lol.

      I completed the basic task for May while I was on vacation. Since the month is over I won't post the whole dream. It wasn't too exciting anyway.

      I became Lucid while climbing a tree. And while trying to decide what to do with my Lucidity I remembered the basic task. So I took a bite out of the nearest tree branch. I chewed it up and swallowed some of it. But it tasted so awful I spit the rest out.

      That dream tree tasted far worse than any real tree ever could I think.
