Yep, I walked on non-frozen water too so "wing" me ninjy!

.

You should get bonus points for doing the moonwalk on the water.

Congratulations Clairity. I liked the animals in your dream. The whole dream sounded very pleasant.

I completed the basic task last night, but I lost the recall on it. So I don't want credit for it. A fragment of it came back to me while I was eating lunch and thinking about the task. I just got a brief flash of walking on water, and there were other DC's walking on the water with me. And I can remember the feeling of fascination I had in the dream as well. Other than that it's gone.

I suddenly came down with a cold, I think it messed me up a little. But I have good recall of some other dreams. And a really odd Lucid in my nap.

Recall's back up. I think I'll give the basic task a try first this time, tomorrow morning.

Thanks Caradon! Now that you mention it.. it was a very peaceful dream.

Any kind of physical "disturbance" that affects my sleep will affect my dreams and recall.. even just going to bed with a headache. I hope you feel better soon!

.

Figured it's time for me to take the plunge and give these monthly tasks a shot.

I too have walked on water before so I'm looking forward to trying that one out. The advanced task sounds very interesting...not too sure how to approach it but have a basic idea. I'll report back as soon as I can make it happen...I'm so excited I want to go to sleep right now (I think 8 is a bit early though).

I'll attempt this by trying to split up my ninja persona and kick the crap out of some Black Hands with my duplicity... I'm not sure if I'll be able to dince I haven't had a full lucid for at least two months. This would just be a really cool one to get back in the game with... Wish me luck!

No kidding, it'd be sweet. Best of luck and I look forward to hearing about how you handle that advanced task!!

Thanks Clairity. Yeah, being sick definitely causes problems, and I had a bad headache during yesterdays Lucid. That's probably where all the yellow light came from.

But at least it has not stopped me completely. I got lucid again last night.
But I also lost another one last night too.

I didn't do the task, I was Lucid at Target.

Good luck guys!

I was sitting at a breakfast table narrating my thoughts to myself, silently, and it was something to do with my twin sister's "perfect" life. Perfect grades, perfect friends, goes to a private school. The only think that isn't perfect is me. I still go to public school, sort of. And it's not like I've got 18,000 bodies buried in the backyard. I'm still being tried as an adult, though (for what the dream character was being tried, I never found out). I was- I was the sister. They/we were identical twins. She loathed me, and I could see each other, but- This isn't right... I'm not female, and we're not- two people- -I still shudder, this bit felt like my brain dry-heaving- [color=cyan]It's got to be a dream. "Have a nice day" (I hate you for ruining my life) "Right." She leaves, and I'm no longer the two of them, just the "evil" twin, though she's the one who hides her dark soul from the world. I sit at the breakfast table, too shocked, or frightened to do anything but stare down into the bowl of cheerios and milk with banana slices.

I don't know if it counts, since I became multiple places at once before being lucid, but i think it would, since I was in multiple places, and lucid, at the same time (I wasn't me, but I rarely am in dreams anymore). I can even describe what it was like: Do you recall those double-exposures you sometimes got when the film in a camera didn't advance to the next frame, and you took two photos on the same frame of film? Kind of like that, only simultaneous moving pictures, and both views were perfectly clear. And i wre standing to both sides of the table, not on one side and just seeing both points of view, and I was thinking as both people at the same time. The views from each person I was at the time weren't overlapping, or faded into each other, they were like seeing two things at once, perfectly clear. Englishg actually can't describe it properly without an extremely circuitous explanation.

Well, I think that was it for the advanced task, now to find a lake or ocean the next time i'm lucid (I'm thinking of leading a battle charge against an army of mistwraiths across the surface of the ocean, that would be cool).

Good god! OK so I didn't come close to either of the tasks last night. Can't seem to shake this 'dreaming of my old houses' routine I'm in. I tried the suggestion technique right before falling asleep...it helped me remember a horrid dream in detail, but no lucidity.

I try yet again!

If a distance of a couple feet isn't considered seperate places for the purpose of this task, could you do it by say, standing in your front yard, and stretching your arm far enough that it goes through your neighbor's window? Or do you have to occupy multiple different places without also being in the places in between?

You do make a good argument but I think what they are getting at is you have to make yourself two separate entities.

By the way what is that picture of in your sig? that building has been in more than one of my dreams over the years, tower and everything.

Ok i did try to do the multiple places but failed quite badly, i was in my living room and imagined seeing my self in a window accross the road, but i failed, i only tried it once and gave up, i then set my intentions to walking on water, this was incredibly hard because i tried it during a afternoon WILD, as i was approaching a dream state i was trying to imagine what it would feel like to walk on water, the coolnesss on the bottom of my feet etc, i was then felt as if i was thrown into a cold air, the feeling when you go on a rollercoaster, i looked down and i saw ice blue water, the water was incredibly still, and there was no waves, it was like the artic, i went a few steps because i was a bit nervous, even though i knew it was a dream i was still scared a bit because i have a fear of deep water...
I then awoke with a huge grin on my face..

Great visual description Dreamhope! Congratulations!

Heh, If you do Manage to be in two places at once as like 2 separate people then you could do some pretty fun stuff.
For example, Rock, Paper, Scissors, would it be possible to win (and simultaneously lose :S) or would you always draw?

What about fighting yourself? that could be fun.

OR, if you realy wanted to kill some time...

Hide n Seek? XD

Would it count as being in two places if I cut off my arm and could still move it?

Ah, but would it be like you naturally moving your arms by just moving them or would you be moving it in your mind as a detached object? I think you would have to at least have some sort of deep mental connection to it and feel the sensory feelings that it does otherwise it could be just dream TK moving it.

I remember, there's a show on Disney Channel called Wizards of Waverly Place (Don't ask why I watch it) but it has helped me a lot with my lucid dreams lately. Basically, a person will say a spell, regular or improvised, and it may happen. I do this in my dreams.

For example, with this advanced task, I can use the spell "Edgebono Utoosis", which duplicates anything you want. I'll use it on myself, and I'll be in two different spots at once! Since I watch it a lot, I think it will easily come up in my dreams.

As well as that, you can also improvise spells. I remember, in the July (I think) task, whichever one you walk onto the beach, I improvised a couple spells for that one. "The dark is not my favorite sight so may you please turn on the light" was one.

Anyway, if I have a lucid tonight, I'll use the "Edgebono Utoosis" spell.

LOL!!! That's a really great idea!!

OK, just a warning...this is a bit hot and not sure if it actually qualifies, but I had to share:

09/03/08

I was at the house in Radium lying on the couch resting when someone came into the living room. I didn’t recognize her but when she spoke she sounded just like me. I became lucid. I closed my eyes and thought of her perspective from that side of the living room, looking at me and seeing out the big bay window. Concentration was hard to keep as I switched back and forth between the two bodies. I decided to try something that had happened in a dream a few years ago and started to get excited. As I came closer to myself on the couch we both began taking our clothes off. I sat at the edge of the couch and my outlook switched. I leaned down a bit to reach and also sat up from the couch and we kissed. It felt like I had melted into myself just then and that I was alone on the couch. Then we both lied down and began exploring each others bodies with our hands. At one point it felt like I was one, but I focused and it became clear that as I touched and felt my way up and down my ‘bodies’ that it was my own but we were a tangle of two people.

I tried mushrooms once and had a similar experience with my gf. When we kissed, it felt like we were melting into a single entity, and everything we did was full of energy. It was like our intentions were one, and we had the same mind.

When I closed my eyes, time stopped for me, and in just a fraction of a second, I vividly re-experienced my entire life. When I opened them again, I was unsure where I was, and was slightly confused. My girlfriend took advantage of this by randomly kissing me and then watching as I had no idea what the hell was going on for 5+ minutes afterwards.

My idea for the advanced task is to find a perspective cloning machine, walk into it, set the dial for 4, and hope it works.

Do we have to be in control of our separate selves, or can we just have a bunch of ourselves running around willy nilly?
