      Task for the Month for March 2009

      Introduction:
      This topic is for the Lucid Tasks that are assigned by me or voted on by experienced 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 limited access forum for people that complete the lucid task each month.


      Tasks for this month:

      Basic Task - Eat Green Eggs and Ham*


      Advanced Task - Walk across a Rainbow (on it)

      *Dr. Suess' birthday is in March and Green Eggs and Ham is one of his most popular and well known stories. It was created on a bet that he couldn't publish a book with 50 different words or less. Both the eggs and the ham were green.

      We wanted creatures D: Well I guess the rainbow one is cool but it seems more like april when it rains more. "april showers brings may flowers" and the creatures seem more marchy because of leprechauns

      This will do I suppose. I better get started

      Usually in my dreams, food and other things don't have much taste at all

      What I did.

      I woke up about 7 hours after going to sleep. I thought of this new technique last night. It's about your dream sign telling you to reality check, this still needs testing but it worked remarkably today.


      After going through a cycle of people from my school saying reality check I went to sleep.

      ---

      It started off as me going snowboarding but it wasn't really snowboarding because we never went down the mountain. I think I blacked out because I don't remember. All I remember is my dream starting on the street. This is where my technique comes in. Two people I imagined saying "do a reality check, you are dreaming" I became lucid. I just wanted to talk to her to see what talking to a dream character is like. She didn't say much. After I asked her if I was dreaming she put her head down and said "pff no". I then hugged her.

      Becoming lucid I wanted to complete a personal task of mine. Earthbending: I started out small and ran down the hill at superfast speeds, I was bending the street below me and as I ran, it pushed my feet. I then thought to myself. Oh yeah the task of the month!. There was a car coming up my street but I jumped over it and continued. It took me about 10 seconds to stop where I saw a trashcan. Green eggs and ham must be in it! Once I stop I go in the trashcan and put my hand in. I told myself green eggs and ham would be in my hand when I pulled my arm out. No luck, I just pulled out a water bottle. I then decided to shout "THERE ARE GREEN EGGS AND HAM IN MY HAND" and all of a sudden there was a plate with green eggs and ham! It was extremely small though but I took a few bites. It tasted like marshmallows Not some horrible putrid taste, but marshmallows. I liked the taste of it so I finished it and moved on to my next area.

      The playground

      I was on a play ground, I was lucid but I wanted to see where the dream would take me so I just kind of watched it. There were kids playing and I went up on the playset too. There were two old people, fat people. They boxed me in so I couldn't move and the girl said who gives a f**k. Then her supervisor came over and fired her.

      My uncles house

      We were eating in my uncles living room and everyone was drinking wine. They wanted me to take their plates but I didn't want to. I took control again and went outside, I told myself there would be a hot girl out there, sure enough there was. I lost ludicity here I think. I haven't done any reality checks/stabilization techniques since I first became lucid.
      ----------------------------- Non lucids-----------------------
      The crisis

      My brother sold something on ebay and this guy said he wasn't happy with what he bought. He took us to court and it was on the news. Not sure what it was though, think it was a game.

      The dance

      There was a dance at my old school and everyone was there.

      I took 3 LDs to do it, but I got it.

      I failed the first time:

      I was playing smash brothers and I heard the announcer say "Clusterfuck!" This surprised me. Enough so that I considered I might be dreaming. I did the nose RC. I did it a few more times, because I just couldn't believe that I was really dreaming. I then went into the kitchen (I wanted to do the green eggs and ham challenge). I tried turning on the lights, but they didn't work. The dream was fading a bit, so I tried to pay attention to the tablecloth. It was very detailed, but I woke up.

      Then I got the eggs:

      I started hearing auditory hallucinations of the TV being on. Brian Williams was on. This is always a good sign that SP is about to hit for me. I felt sleep paralysis come on. I rolled out of bed with a little difficulty. The first time I didn't even feel like I had any form or way to move. Then I rolled out again and things were normal now. There were visuals right away and I went into the kitchen. I walked through the living room and the TV was on with Brian Williams on it.

      I tried turning on the kitchen light, but it turned on the hall light instead. I went over to the fridge, but there was just a cupboard there. I opened it up anyway to check for eggs. There weren't any at first glance, so I decided that maybe the fridge was were the cupboard is. There wasn't anything there though. I went back to were the fridge should be and it was there now. I looked inside to find eggs. I recall there being some strange things in there, but I can't remember any now except for a large bowl of small lemon juice squeezers. Behind the lemon juice squeezers was a carton of eggs.

      I got out the eggs and put them on the counter. I opened up the carton and pretty much all of the eggs were cracked. I decided to just eat the egg raw. Sadly none of them were green, so I picked one up and concentrated on turning its color. I made it a dark green and then I was able to make it a bright green. Then I ate it. It slid down my throat like a big glob of mucus. It tasted like a big glob of mucus too. I closed my eyes when I ate it. I immediately felt stupid for doing so.
      I could now feel myself in my bed. I hoped I was still dreaming, but I checked and I wasn't.

      Then I got the ham:

      I was walking in the hall of a house, but to the left was a busy street in a big city (no walls). I was reminding myself to find green ham once I managed to LD. I then realize that I'm already dreaming. I do the nose RC to confirm. I then see the kitchen in front of me and I go to the fridge. Inside, right in front, is a big cooked spiraled ham. I took it out and grabbed a piece off (it was pre sliced too). I concentrated on making it turn green, but I only got a corner of it to turn green. I bit into the corner and it tasted like really bland ham. I then started thinking how everything in my LDs seems to tatse like a very watered down version of itself. I woke up.

      Although I probably won't mention it in my dream journal (It would distract from the epicness), on the way to fighting the Medusa, I walked across a rainbow.

      Maybe I will mention it... We'll see.

      Then it turned green.

      Oh, you had that as your primary usergroup when you were a regular member. When they promoted you, they forgot to make it your secondary usergroup. Which admin actually promoted you, I'll go yell at him.

      This thread wasn't up before I went to bed (or I didn't see it), so I ended up trying to do february task. From my journal:

      I was in someone's flat and there was a party. The music was very loud and I wondered what the neighbours would say, but I opened the door and saw that the party is through the whole building with people dancing in the hallway. I went to the roof (can't remember what I did on the way) and Caveman Bodybuilder was with me. The roof was huge with some stairs going to some sort of platform. There were lots of people around but I woke up.

      I tried to DEILD and managed to get back on the stairs, but the place was deserted. I went up and saw a blonde girl sitting at a long table alone. I thought I recognize her from somewhere and then realised I saw her in a music video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_1ErE5EG8o one in the short blue dress). I approached her and started kissing her, but then thought that I have better things to do in a dream and remembed that I need to find Clairity. So I thought she'll be on the roof below the stairs, but instead of using them I decided to jump down. And before I reached the roof, I decided that this wasn't a dream and that I wasn't even asleep, but imagining it all. I was now lying in my bed and wanted to RC, so I tried poking my arm. My finger slipped and bent, but I wasn't convinced, so I started looking at my hands. They were very blurry and distorted and I could see only a blurr of them. I still wasn't convinced and tried poking again. This time it was remotely normal, so I concluded I must be awake and tried to fall asleep again.
