task of the month

FINALLY A LUCID DREAM

Okay, so. I was at this weird building, planning a rebellion of some kind. Which sounds weird, but I love stories of rebellions against an oppressive system, so I read books about it a lot and, as a result, dream about this a bit often. Anyway, it was an empty building, no windows, no furniture. It wasn't complete, as if the construction crew just left one day and never came back.

We could see outside and there was a strong storm going on. We were arguing over... something. To be honest, I wasn't too involved in the planning. I was definitely me, it wasn't a 3rd person POV kinda dream, but I was basically watching my DCs argue.

Then the storm got more violent and our roof was gone. That's when I took charge. There was another building connected to ours, so I shoved people at the stairs and kept telling them to GO GO GO NOOOOWWW and some of them went without a second thought. A few others went, but stopped and said "what about you?" and I was actually quite calm. I dream a lot of tornadoes and tsunamis, and they never hurt me. I told them I'd be fine.

So they all went to the other building, I followed them. Somehow, the building kinda... broke and went down. We all survived, though, cause dream logic. However, the ground was completely flooded. The streets were like rivers, but we found a place above the water. We gathered and were discussing where we should go, and that's when we heard the shouting. I looked around me and saw that one of the "rivers" had hundreds of people being dragged and drowning.

I told the people I was with that I had to do something about it. They tried to stop me, but I jumped into the water. Right when a huge wave was coming. I was underwater and I held my breath, but I couldn't reach the surface. I couldn't hold my breath anymore, so I gave up. I decided it'd be better if I just took a deep breath of water and died fast.

And that's when nothing happened. I took a breath and there was no water in my lungs. I could breathe just fine. I laughed cause I realised I had been dreaming the whole time. Considering nothing was real, I got myself to the surface in no time. I could feel that I was about to wake up, so I knew I had to get the TOTM done.

I looked around and everything was already destroyed by the strong winds and the water. This actually got me sad, since the point of destroying the world is causing all that chaos yourself. Still, I figured I could explode the whole planet, which could be fun enough. I focused on a huge bomb coming down from the sky. There was a flash of light in the horizon. And everything blew up.

And I woke up.

LUCID DREAM YAYAYAYAY

Okay, so first things first:

I was walking around the uni campus. Then I met Callie, from The Fosters. We went to class together, but I kept feeling there was something going on between us. We got to class and she sat somewhere. I was gonna sit behind her, but the seat was taken, so I told her I was gonna sit on the other side of the room. She followed me so we could sit together.

Then, we were supposed to work on a project or something, so I told her we could go to the aquarium of the campus. We went there and I took her hand. She actually smiled at me and it was super sweet. We walked around the place some more and I asked where she wanted to begin. She said she wanted to go to the highest floor and make our way back to the ground floor. I said okay, but she decided to go to the bathroom first.

Then her mother (Lena, also from The Fosters), who was also the teacher, ran into me and asked me if I wanted to see a new room they were working on. I said I would, so she opened a door. And there were frogs in there. She walked in, showing me around. And then a frog jumped at me and I freaked out, but I didn't to look stupid, so I slapped it away and ran to the door.

When I left the room, I was outside the aquarium and it was night. Lena asked about a couple of teenagers and I said I didn't know cause I don't pay attention to people all that much. Another The Fosters character, Mariana, was there too. We were friendly enough and Lena laughed and said oh you teenagers. And I was like "uhm, actually, I'm 25. But Mariana here is a baby, she's only 21".

And then. I thought "I haven't done a RC in a while now. But that'd be stupid. I know I'm not dreaming. Wait. Am I?" So I looked around and it hit me that YES I WAS DREAMING!!!

So I felt myself on my bed, knew I was about to wake up, so I let myself... uhm, be on my bed. I wasn't very corporeal and the dream wasn't too stable. But I made myself get out of bed, walk around it, until I was in front of the wall. I kinda went forward, thinking that I could go through the wall and find myself at a park.

The park was blurry and I was still aware enough of my real body. I figured I had to do the TOTM, so I shouted "ME" and it was a bit like chat (I was there for quite a while yesterday). Another me showed up and I was like "So what were you going to tell me?" and then the other me started yelling "FUCK YOU, YOU STUPID LITTLE FAGGOT, JUST FUCK YOU AND LEAVE ME ALONE" and he ran away.

I didn't care much about that and I knew I was about to wake up, so I shouted "LEA" and someone showed up. She didn't look like Lea, but she was supposed to represent Lea. We were kind of avatars and I wanted to declare my love to her, so the avatar me had a dialogue box and lots of symbols showed up there. I knew they were bad, but Lea just kept smiling. Then, she opened a dialogue box too and more symbols appeared. After she was done, she walked away.

I woke up and my bedroom looked way more brighter than it had been in the beginning of the lucid dream, which made me realise the dream was a bit more stable than I had thought.

Fragment: there was something about taking the subway? I dunno.

Long, vivid lucid dream!!!

I was at our living room table with my mum and my grandma. My grandma was talking about this diet and my mum kept asking for more. In real life, my mum wants to lose some weight. She was being really annoying and then she decided to make one of the dishes my grandma was talking about.

My mum made a huge mess and for some reason that pissed me off. I told her she was stupid, and then she went upstairs. Last night, I had snacks in my bedroom, so I got scared she'd find them, so I ran upstairs to see where she had gone.

My bedroom door was shut. I tried opening it and someone was on the other side, trying to keep me outside. I pushed it really hard and it opened. I got in and my mum and the maid were inside. I looked around and everything was different. The furniture looked old and cheap and it was all ugly. I looked at my mum and I was like: "Are you kidding me?", but she didn't look too bothered.

I looked around again, still very pissed off. Then, it clicked. "Ohhh, I get it! This is a dream, right?" I looked at my hand. My fingers seemed normal, but I could tell there was something weird going on, and it was obviously a dream. My mum said "I don't know what you're talking about", but I left my room anyway.

I thought about what I should do. I tried summoning the character from my story again. I shouted his name a few times. Instead of working, I kinda fell face first on the floor. I was sure that'd wake me up, but it didn't.

I got up and didn't know what to do. I remembered the TOTM and decided to ask my mum what she was greatful for. I went to my room and... nobody was there. I shouted "mum!" a few times and then I heard her voice downstairs.

I went back to the living room and she was there, with some other people. I went to her and asked her what she was grateful for. She said that she was grateful that I had lost some weight. I told her that hadn't happened yet. So she said she was grateful that I was happy. I accepted that answer and I asked my aunt what she was grateful for, but I don't remember her answer.

Then, I looked around and the walls were all colourful. I started telling all the people there how amazing it was, cause everything felt so real. I touched the table and the walls and I was all "I can REALLY feel everything! And look at those colours! Everything is so vivid!" but nobody paid much attention to me.

Again, I was sure I'd wake up, but nothing happened. I still had no idea what to do, and then I remembered the bonus task. And that's when things got messed up... I was supposed to turn into a turkey, along with everybody else, and carve a human. Instead, I gave everybody pig ears and pig noses. I also had them, and, on the table, we had a pig on something like this:



And it had a human face. Then, I woke up.

Lucid dream AND TOTM!!!

I was at this sort of fancy party. The hosts were incredibly weird. They were like vampires, as in they were OLD, and yet they looked like a normal family. They just seemed out of time, I guess, like they were dressed and they spoke as if they were from a different century. They hadn't done anything wrong, but I KNEW I had to kill them.

So I went upstairs (we were in a sort of a fancy building/hotel) and I killed the mother (not sure how, I just got there, saw her and next thing I know, I'm hiding her body). Then, the scene changed, but I wasn't there, I was just watching. There were two sons of this family and they were just outside of a palace in India. They got a phonecall and I couldn't hear anything that was being said, but they took the cellphone, listened to what the caller was saying and started crying. So I knew that they had found out about their mother.

Back to me, I was running on the streets at night, my family is with me. We were all running as fast as we could. We kept having to avoid the cars, because, for some reason, we couldn't just run on the sidewalks. My parents were ahead and then there was a train line in front of us and the train was coming. We stopped, but my parents kept going and I expected the train to hit them, but they managed to cross it before that happened. The train was tiny and just the main car, so we kept running after that, but my parents were way ahead of us by then.

There were some holes on the street and I was going to say that we should probably go around them, but my parents kept running and they jumped the first one while holding hands. I was sure they were going to fall, but they didn't. They jumped over the second hole, but my dad didn't make it. My mum threw herself there, wanting to be/die with my dad. I started shouting and all I could feel was despair. Whenever I have a nightmare like this and I feel this feeling, I tell myself "FINE TIME TO WAKE UP" and I do wake up. This time, however, I thought "FINE IF MY PARENTS ARE DEAD I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE ANYMORE I'M GOING TO WAKE UP THEN! Oh, no, wait, I always do that and I miss the chance of having a lucid dream... AHA I'M LUCID!"

And since I knew my parents weren't actually dead, I felt much better. I then told myself that I WAS going to get the TOTM done, cause... seriously? I can't even remember the months in a dream? That's stupid, of course I can! And so I started: "November! October! September! August! July! June! May! ...oh, shit, what comes before May? Okay, hold on, Janeiro, Fevereiro, Março, Abril, Maio... OH YEAH APRIL! Okay, so November! October! September! August! July! June! May! April! March! March? Yeah, it's March! February! January! I GOT IT!" and wow, that was hard! I was also counting on my fingers. Fortunately, my hands were normal and I didn't have extra fingers.

After that, I was sure I was going to wake up, so I decided to fly and see if it'd keep me in the dream. I started flying and, at one point, I could feel my real body. I focused on the flying, though, and that got me fully back to my dream. So that made me feel super confident about myself and my lucid dream abilities. I decided that I could totally summon the main character of the story I'm writing. I started shouting "EFRAIM!!!" over and over, until a voice answered. It was a kid's voice, in fact, it was the voice of a character from Dragon Ball Z. He said that I had to let him lead me. I said okay, started flying again and I followed some golden leafs that were in the air.

When I got to where the leafs led me, it was a weird place. It was like it was made of clouds, everything was so white and fluffy. There were lots of shelves, kinda like a library. So I landed on the floor and started looking for Efraim/kid from Dragon Ball Z. This is when I lost lucidity.

I kept walking until I ran into my family. They were going through some stuff... I got closer and I saw my grandmother holding my notebook. I got really mad and told her that she couldn't just take my things like that. I woke up.

Wow, just had one of the most vivid lucid dreams ever!!! :O

Right, so I was in the middle of a dream (which I'll describe later), when I realised I was dreaming. I was in a kitchen with my cousin, and I decided to do different things. I looked at some plates and glasses, raised my arms a little and said "you'll levitate now!" and they did!!! First time I've ever done that!!!

Then, my cousin was looking at me. I pointed at her and said "I need you to be..." and she changed into Lea Michele. I shook my head and said "Dan". She turned into Daniel Radcliffe. Then I remembered that no, I had to summon myself. I pointed at him and said "be me". He was me. A male me. It was AMAZING!!! I pointed at him. I figured I should ask him/myself if I really am trans. When I asked the question, though... it was him who was asking! I was staring at him and then I said "wait... YOU are the one who asked the question!?" and he shrugged and smiled. So I told him that yes, I AM trans. So he smiled even more and said "so now you know".

After that, I started panicking and thinking that there was so much to be done. I saw a wall and thought that I should go through it. When I jumped against it, I thought it looked so real... and then I crashed into it. I touched it and it was super solid. Then I thought that I HAVE to expect that I'll be able to go through it. I tried again and it worked.

I was in a weird building, I could look down and there was a swimming pool there. It was like a hotel, I guess. I didn't hesitate and jumped down, trying to fly. My flying was terrible. I ended up falling in the pool. The water felt amazing and it was... it was wow, no other way to describe it.

Anyway, I got out of it and there were like four swimming pools there. I saw a dog walking around. For some reason, THAT made me remember that I had to scare a kid. I started running around, poking people's backs and shouting "BOOO" at them. I did this with four people. A woman, a man, a kid and another man. The last man wasn't wearing anything, so I was all "BOOO oh, no, don't turn around, never mind, I'm leaving now"...

I got inside a pool again, but it looked more like the sea... except that it was still a swimming pool. I was still pissed off I hadn't been able to fly, so I tried again with my eyes closed. I felt like I was really high, so I opened my eyes. I was about five inches from the ground. People around me were all staring at me, waiting for me to really do fly. When they realised I couldn't, they all laughed at me.

I looked at the sky and there was this really ugly thing up there, like those family crests things, but super ugly. I turned to the girl next to me and said "wow, that sun is ugly as shit, I want it to change", she shrugged, shook her head at me and said "I kinda like it".

I looked up again, and it had changed. Now there were many of those things, but they were all pretty. They were silver, the sky was black and they looked a bit like the Game Of Thrones family crests. I remember seeing one that was a lion (which reminded me of Gryffindor), one that looked like it was the fire symbol thing from The Hunger Games and one that I couldn't see very clearly, but I knew somehow that it was from Divergent.

I heard singing and realised there was a concert going on where I was. I was like "nah, sing a cool song!" and the music stopped. Then, they started playing "Suddenly I See". I shook my head and said "No, I was expecting the song to be 'Let It Be', play that one!" and the people around me were all booing me. The girl who was next to me shook her head again. Strangely enough, both times she did that, it was like she was amused with me. I could see that she thought it was hilarious how hard I was trying to control my dream.

Anyway, the music stopped. A big screen showed up so that us in the back could see the singers and it was a couple. Behind the huge screen, I saw a tower or something. I wondered if I could move it, so I thought that it should come a bit closer and... I moved it!!!

They started singing "Let It Be" and there were even subtitles! I remember being impressed with everything, because I don't really know the lyrics to that song all that well (I don't know the parts that don't go all "Mother Mary lalala something" or "let it beeee, let it beeee"), so I was all "wow, I may not know them when I'm awake, but it's amazing what the brain really knows!". Well, the lyrics were so damn wrong. Like, at one point, they were singing about the Lake Black Morwood.

Once they got to the chorus, the guy started crying and said "I'm sorry, but I love this woman so much!" and they hugged and kissed and cried together. I turned to the girl next to me and started panicking again. "THERE'S SO MUCH I WANT TO DO WHAT DO I DO NOW WHAT!?" then I remembered I wanted to go to Hogwarts. I figured that it might be too hard so I started running around and shouting "QUICK SOMEONE GIVE ME HARRY'S WAND OR HIS BROOM GIVE ME ANYTHING" and I woke up.

BUT OH MY GOD THIS WAS AN AMAZING LUCID DREAM!!! I did things I had never done before and it lasted quite a while!!! And I even got the basic TOTM done!

EDIT: adding now my other dream and the fragment from this morning!

My fragment is about cats. I remember cats everywhere and it was creepy.

The dream!

It was kinda crazy, cause parts of the dream were actually flashbacks... but okay. I was outside of this country-like restaurant. I was talking to someone who, in my dream, was my cousin. They (no idea if they were a guy or a girl) were friends with this weird girl. She would go inside the restaurant and steal food. It was disgusting food, though, like she'd take the food thrown in the garbage.

I told her she was stupid and that I didn't like her. She got really defensive, but really sad at the same time. I was going to say something else to her, but I was suddenly at the top roof of a building and it was night. There was this important meeting happening and everyone was waiting for the "mayor".

And then the guy enters. He's smiling and waving, very charming, very gracious. For some reason, I don't like him. He seems very fake. The people who were there were mostly journalists and they start an interview with this mayor. I do not remember what he says, but we're all shocked at his answers, like he did something truly awful. I remember the awful thing being related to his daughter.

I'm back to outside of the restaurant with the weird girl. She looks at me and she's been crying. I ask her if she's the mayor's daughter. She nods. And I go back to the top roof. Everybody's freaking out about the mayor said. Someone asks him about his wife.

I'm again with the weird girl. I ask her:"hold on... what DID happen to your mum!?" and then she cries some more and I'm back at the interview. The mayor laughs and says that he killed her after they got divorced. Everybody gasps!

Back to weird girl. "YOUR FATHER KILLED YOUR MUM!?", the girl nods and I feel shit for treating her like crap earlier. I then accept to go inside the restaurant to steal food with her.



Oh, and my lucid dream started like this:

I was at this building and my cousin was participating in some competition or something. It looked like a model thing, but who knows? Anyway, she was talking to this guy and asked me to get her stuff upstairs. I went there and I couldn't really find her things. There was so much crap everywhere, it was hard to tell what belonged to each person. Still, I found a bag that I was sure it was hers.

I went downstairs and the guy she was talking to told me that she had gone to the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and. Whoa. DREAM!

So that's how my LD began.

Lucid dream AND task of the month! It's a long dream, though, so let's get started... interestingly enough, my lucid was actually in the beginning of the dream, it's usually in the end.

(edit: weird, the first part of it got cut... maybe my iPad is going crazy, so writing the first part again now)

I was at the top of a bridge or something and there were Game Of Thrones people with me. I think they told me to jump, I dunno, I didn't want to, but they pushed me. As I was falling... "FINE, I CAN FLY ANYWAY, THIS IS A DREAM!" and sure enough, I was flying. Once again, I started acting like I was swimming so that I could fly better. I guess this is my flying technique now.

I started swimming/flying too fast and it felt like I was being dragged into outer space because of the velocity. I knew I had tasks to do, so I decided to fly down. Once again, I was going too fast. It was fun, though.

I landed and lost lucidity, but the dream was still the same.

I was in an old house (I think that should be a dream sign by now) and there was a bit of a party going on. Not a huge party, but there were some people on the kitchen. I walked in and got a bowl of cereal because it was a breakfast party.

As I was eating, I looked around and, uh, wait... breakfast party? DREAM! I had told myself right before I fell asleep that I had to sing the ABC song in a dream, so thankfully, I remembered that.

And so I began singing. People around me started singing and dancing to it (I've been watching Smash, so my mind has been into a musical mood lately), it was quite the show. I started laughing cause my cereal changed into letters and they kept changing into random words.

I got to the end of the song and I realised I don't actually know how it ends. I was like "now I know my abc... uh... guys? What comes next?" and they stopped dancing, shrugged and started leaving.

I freaked out cause I wanted to finish it, so I followed them out of the kitchen. When I stepped out of it, I was in what looked like an undergroung bathroom, very dirty and dark. Lucidity was gone.

My mother was there and she was taking a shower. A man appeared behnd her and he stabbed her with a spear. I think I was still a little aware that this wasn't real, because I started shouting that we had to rewind that, but my mum just died. I took the spear from the guy and killed him.

I woke up and tried to WILD. No success. Fell asleep again.

I was with my ex and we were at this huge bus station. She said she had to see something, so we left the place. I told her it was stupid and that we had to go back before the bus left. She finally agreed and... when we got there, the bus was leaving.

I shouted that we NEEDED that bus and a guy who worked there told me we could run after it, cause it was going really slowly. Then he realised it was wrong and he said he'd help us. He called the driver and asked him to stop the bus and wait for us.

We got a taxi (?) from the bus station to where the bus was. When we got there, the driver was restless because there were zombies around. I got out of the taxi and I saw a zombie approaching the window next to my ex. I told her to get out of there, but she sat there, being stupid. I threw myself inside of it and tried to drag her, but the zombie bit her.

I finally got her out of the taxi, but the bus driver took a gun and shot her. I remember feeling guilty because I had failed to save my mother too (even though it had been in another dream). I shrugged and went inside the bus.

When I stepped inside, it was an RV and people were living there. I found a place to sleep and they started talking about missions. There were some rooms and everything, it was like a little house. They told me I had to go to town and get stuff for us to eat.

I said okay and I had a partner. I was driving the RV and she was next to me. I ran into some zombies, lost control of the RV and crashed. We got out of it and it exploded. We werre surrounded by zombies, so we started running and I went inside a store.

It was closed and abandoned, but I found my parents there. They told me they were also on a mission and they were sad I had gotten the RV destroyed, since we all lived there.

I apologised and we started taking clothes, food and soap to take back to the people who were waiting for us. The girl that had come with me found a car:



She said it would be tight, but the group could live there. I doubted it, but took the car anyway and started driving back to the group, the girl and my parents with me.

I've found the right lucid aid for me... alcohol! But I think I was still drunk during my lucid dream, cause everything felt so much more confusing... anyway, here we go!

I was in this weird room, talking to my mother. We were talking about my father, my mum was worried about him. I told her we'd help him get better, then I remembered that I had a party to go later. It was on the top roof, so I just went upstairs to check it was really happening.

The kid of a girl I saw for a couple weeks years ago was there, and it was his birthday party. He was happy to see me and he started shouting and jumping before finally hugging me. I realised I was still wearing my pjs, so I told him I'd come back later and to let his mother know I'd be there soon.

I turned around and (even though I never took any stairs or elevator) I was on the street. I got inside my car and started driving. As I was driving, I guess I changed clothes somehow, cause I was already going back to the party.

My car had a problem and it was going really slow. Then, a guy with a chainsaw was outside and he wasn't exactly threatening me, but he was sorta telling me we had to fight. It was weird. For some reason, I was all "bitch, I'd so kick your ass AND your chainsaw's ass too!" and I offered him my tongue, as if saying go on, cut off my tongue and see if I care.

Then, I wondered what the hell my problem was. "I'm not stupid, why am I not scared of this guy and WHY AM I BEING SO DUMB AND RIDICULOUS!?" And I realised that th guy couldn't hurt me... because it was a dream!

I shrugged at him and continued driving. The car still wasn't working, which got me angry, but then I thought "it's a dream, if I want it to work, IT'D BETTER WORK" and so it did.

I saw another guy outside and this was the most vivid my lucid dream got. He was wearing a blue tshirt and very slowly riding a bike. I knew I had tasks to do and the first thing that came to my mind was TOTM from August... so I started shouting (and this part was in English, while the rest of my dream was in Portuguese): "HEY, HEY, YOU, LOOK AT ME" He stopped his bike and turned around. He looked at me like I was bothering, which I probably was, but he waited for me to say something anyway.

Me: What's the meaning of life?
Guy: *rolls eyes* Dancing. We live to dance.
Me: Oh... okay?

And then he turned around and started riding his bike again. I freaked out cause I knew that wasn't the task I had to do anymore, so I asked him to come back, but he never did. I started asking myself what the TOTM for September was and I couldn't rememeber. Then I thought of the competition and... nothing. I really couldn't remember anything and I was deeply confused by everything around me.

And then I remembered I had to go to the party and that's pretty much when I lost lucidity.

I arrived at the party and my friend was happy to see me. We hugged and I noticed she had been crying. She said she had had a big fight with her girlfriend. People started singing happy birthday to the boy, but everybody was like whatever and they even changed the lyrics to make it obvious they didn't give a fuck. He looked really sad, so I started changing the lyrics too to something happy and YAY. He looked better.

After that, my friend hugged me and thanked me. Her girlfriend started bitching aout everything and they broke up, it was ugly. I hugged my friend and we ended up kissing later. It was actually quite cute and sweet.

Then, she wanted me to dance tango and I have no idea what we were doing, but I woke up during my dream version of tango.

I also had a dream about a weird apocalyspe, the world swallowed itself, then it threw itself up and everything was gross and weird. But that's all I got, a tiny fragment..,

Still, LUCID DREM YAY!!!
