Thread: Lucid Task for the Year of 2009

Sweet. I do think that reducing the number of dreams to 7 was a good move.

Good luck everyone!


Some images I looked up that could help, where I thought that the wiki might not be enough of a source of inspiration:

Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Temple of Artemis
Mausoleum of Maussollos
Lighthouse of Alexandria

Of course those are all just interpretations.

I think I am actually going to do this one. I was hesitant to use a video with even my voice in it, but this one is much more achievable for me.

BTW do we have to draw up something again if we succeed?

I'm gonna give this a go. I probably won't manage it but I'm gonna try anyway!

I don't know where to start...

Great tasks ninja, and great job of organizing the links to them.

The best place I've found to start is to get familiar with the different locations, which ninja has done such a great job of providing links to above which contain pictures of the various locations in the links.

After you get familiar with the locations, memorize them and go through them once or twice a day in your imagination, picturing yourself being there in your imagination.

Then when you get lucid, your subconscious will know exactly where you want to go, since you have been there so many times already in your imagination, and it should take you there without you having to do anything except watch and observe.

Oh, I am definately doing this. I like the lighthouse, garden, and pyramid ones

This is fantastic. So I'm off to the pyramids tonight then. Although I think to make it more interesting I will visit them as they are being built. Maybe give a helping hand...

I'd love to visit them, The pyramid may be interesting though due to playing the game 'Riddle of the Sphinx'. I'll post up any results.

Great Pyramid:

i tried once and woke up.i tried again and got this:
non-lucid- i was wandering in a sandstorm somewhere outside an ancient city wall.i figured i was probably going to die if this kept up when i ran into the wall and started to feel my way along it.i came to a corner pointing in and turned out still following the wall with my hand. all of a sudden the wall stopped and i was lost again in the sand.i turned back toward the wall but this time felt wood instead of stone so i pounded on it figuring it was the city gate.instead a man opened a plain single door and pushed me inside and into a small room in the wall.i cleaned the sand out of my eyes and off my face and told the man that i was being chased and that i needed to hide.he joked that i was well hidden in the storm but hid me under a table next to the wall as someone knocked on the door across the room.i was hidden from view as the door opened by a crimson table cloth with gold gilt that brushed the floor.a man in a military uniform stepped into the room and offered the man who hid me some of his own liquor as he sat at a smaller table opposite me.they sat and talked what sounded like politics and by the tone of his voice the man who hid me wanted the military man to leave.the military man took the hint and left. i crawled out from beneathe the table and walked out into the hallway after the military man.i had earlier made plans to meet some of my friends in a different hallway with windows that looked out over the sand.we ran and sneaked through the palace to the hallway.as we entered it on our way to somewhere else i stopped to enjoy the cool moist environment of all the plants growing inside and sat on a cool rock by a stream.i sat looking out the window and gazed across the now calm sunny day to a great pyramid.
i became lucid and remembered the task and ditched my friends to climb out the open arched window facing the pyramid.i ran down the beaten sand road towards the pyramid and explored around the base for a while looking at the huge stones once covering it to make a smooth surface.i looked up at the now stepped pyramid and fancied a climb.i climbed up the pyramid and stood on the top blocks looking over the desert and city and other ancient ceremonial buildings.i saw the guards/police i had been running from earlier and flew up towards the brilliant sun.my dream ended then.

it was so hot and dusty outside there.

i can't wait to go to the hanging gardens

Damn you ray you little natural. I don't think that I could make a task that would take you a year

Dang it, why did you have to include a lighthouse? They freak the shxx out of me.

Picture Of A Magical Animal - Entering The Picture / Visiting the Great Pyramid Of Gaza
I am someplace like a museum looking at this picture of something that looks like a deer, but which I perceive to be a magical animal. I enter the picture, get on the animal, and ask it to take me to the Great Pyramid of Gaza, after which we take off flying. When we get to the pyramid, the animal I am riding stops abruptly, while I keep right on going for a crash landing.

I ask the animal if it is going to show me around the pyramid, and it tells me it has other things to do, and then takes off flying. A guy who looks like a wizard appears before me and tells me that he will guide me around the pyramid. He takes me all around the outside of the pyramid and up to the top. I am very impressed at how smooth the outside of the pyramid is, as it like marble. When I ask this guy if he can give me a tour of the inside of the pyramid, he tells me that someone else has to do that.

A temple guide now appears before me, although I have no idea what he looks like. He tells me that he will guide me through the temple, but that in order to enter the temple I must first get rid of all of my earthly cares and concerns. After I agree to do this, he takes me into the temple.

I am amazed at how nice it is in here as both the floor and walls appear to be made out of marble, although I am having a difficult time seeing the walls. The walls appear to have some sort of writing or graphics drawn on them. I notice these two full length mirrors on one side of the room enclosed in something like brass. The ceiling is fairly high, at least 20 feet high, which seems to be about as wide as the room is. Instead of taking the walkway to the next level, we just float through the ceiling. The next room look similar to the room we just came from, except it appears to be a bit smaller.

Lighthouse Of Alexandria - Climbing Up The Outside
I am imagining myself climbing this ladder higher and higher, and exercise I do almost every night, when I suddenly find myself climbing up the side of this giant lighthouse by the sea. I climb to the top of this lighthouse and look out over the sea. I am enjoying watching and listening the waves of the sea as they crash onto the shore. I sense this horrible loneliness that seems to be associated with this lighthouse, which is why I decide to stay outside instead of going inside.

Colossus Of Rhodes - Seeing In The Distance
I am driving my car down this road that just goes off into the sunset up ahead. I continue driving my car down this road and drive right into the sky. I arrive at this hotel where I have attended this meditation class before and go inside. I am carrying this foldout chair with me in this bag that also has a couple of metal things in the bag. I take the chair out and leave the metal things in the bag. I sit down in the chair and begin listening to this guided mediation that the instructor is giving.

The instructor leads us into a guided meditation where we get into this basket underneath a helium balloon, and begin floating into the air. I am floating over someplace like Greece where I am looking out over this large bluff onto the ocean below. I see this huge statue in the distance, which I assume to be the Colossus Of Rhodes as it is standing out over this harbor. This statue has such a commanding presence in this area that it seems to rule this area. I am thinking that it is just the peoples feeling toward this statue that has created the atmosphere this I am feeling.

Well, really like this task, this time I will NOT stop trying <.<

I shall try this years task!

I hope to see more of you finish it this time, I think last time there were only three

Argh, I know I am going to LD tonight, but I wana try to find my dream Guide.....
Oh I can find my dream guide at Great Pyramid at Giza!! woohoo..
But how do I know for sure if I am were I think I am? Or is it, if I think I am. and it looks like I am then I am?

I'm definitely going to give this a go this year. I would have tried last year, but I didn't feel like I had enough time.

What is the badge you get if you acomplish this?

From my DJ, one down (tough it may not count), fought humans on this one, next goal is to fight Athena! Err, I mean... the temple <.<
Oh right, my Mausoleum looked like this from the front: http://garbledzombie.files.wordpress.../mausoleum.jpg Just with different colors.

Mausoleum of Maussollos

FA, I think I was about to RC when the rooster sang <.<

Back to sleep

Now, I’m sure I RCed and became lucid, and then my memory goes down… I know there was some kind of teleportation, but lets moved to when I woke up again because of the rooster and baby.

DEILD

Back to the dream, now I was inside a Mausoleum, there was a party in there, it was extremely big and had a big coffin of rock at the north part, dunno if there was something inside, but I was sitting on it, got the idea it was wrong and went down, then found some demons and people playing with swords, there were 2 demons, 1 purple “woman” and 1 guy with 4 arms, with some weird weapons with them, the first thing that got to my head after seeing them was that Indian god with many hands, anyway, after that checked if I had my 3 weapons with me, there were them, sitting on my back and waiting to be used, I was about to use them to fight the demons, but they were being worshipped by kids, they all wanted to be like that when adult, weird kids, weird party, then there was someone who said we were under attack, police got already there, still I had no clue what was happening since forgot last dream, my guess was that made the place, summoned the demons and people and then set a trap to get some fun, anyway now everyone was trying to run to the outside of the Mausoleum, 2 ways to get out, one was the back part with some mountains at the side and caves, but there was police people in the caves and shotting, the other was even worse, the front whit 3 big cars and tons of guys with guns, most went there tough, they would never shot the cars because that would damage the building unlike the back part, only 3 people went there and the 3 were shot, so went there and jumped in the middle of the mountains and waited for the shots while taking Symphony out, once they shot, used Symphony to kill them all, then revived the ones who were killed before, between them 1 girl with a leg not working that good, took them back to the Mausoleum and went to the other side, it was really big of a place, pale grey and with humidity everywhere was the inside, while outside, the top of the building was white and the rest (along with the pillars) were the color of a pearl, went got to the front part, noticed it was far bigger than I noticed before… Mostly only saw the last floor with the pillars from the back while on the mountains, on the front it was 3 other floors with some statues, jumped to the cars (which obiously were at the 1st floor) and accidentally made one of the statues fall, got to the top of one of the cars and quickly entered before anyone were to shot at me, then woke up.

Tried to DEILD, but rooster and baby are so noisy… then tried to WILD, but just fell asleep.

Was on the bus, my head hurted and it was really bright, then turned and saw the mausoleum again, which made me lucid, now I had to do something to help the demons, though nobody was in the car with me, oh right, did I say anything about the car being a bus? If not, it was, the car was connected to 2 other rooms, one from behind and another on the front, tried to go to these sides but then the purple woman went out and stopped me, she said there were humans at the other sides trying to enter, some lifes were already lost, only weapon we had was a pencil, since my weapons are invisible unless I call them, forgot I had them and tried to use the pencil to attack the people, someone was on the front window trying to break it, weird enough, the glass had a window in it, and a door, which made me question which kind of Bus it was, anyway opened the window and was about to kill the guy at the other side, it was a kid so stopped, then a police woman went with a knife and tried to cut my hand, got to evade but lost the pencil, it was ok tough, no guns because of the Mausoleum so I could easily win, the woman got quickly inside the bus from the front and attacked me with the knife, stopped her and then took the knife, threw it away and tried to cut her ears with my hands, which lead to she doing the same, it hurted so much, had to kill at that moment, then a police men entered from behind with a gun, then is when I recalled my weapons, so took War out and killed the guy before he could shot, then a girl entered, they wanted to take her out of the fight, we all agreed and used the police people as hostages, nobody knew they were dead after all, opened the door and let the girl out, then I noticed it was the same I revived before with the illness on the leg, opened the door in the glass and let her out, some guys went to grab her and tried to shot, but stopped when saw the hostages, then I was planning on using Hate to annihilate everyone once the door were to close, but the woman interrupted me saying “you won’t leave this place until its done” which made me happy, a dream that would not end until it was solved! Then I must wait some days for it to end, right? Was a good plan… excepting, of course, because I woke up withouth doing anything.

Should have used Hate to finish that when I could <.<

This challenge sounds cool, but first i need to learn how to have lucids more frequently any suggestions?

NOOO SO CLOSE! For the egypt one!!
