    NOT the TOTY

    So I was having a nonlucid where I was flying, which got me lucid. So I tried to will myself to fly faster (since I usually fly slow because I get vertigo). I did a sort of superman pose, which made me feel more streamlined, so I was able to gain speed. I tried to remember a task of the month, but all I could remember was "change gender." Which is stupid. Because it's not. What happened there was I was somewhat recalling the conversation I had with CL and BrandonBoss in the TOTY thread about if it still counts to change gender for some of the fairytale tasks. Since for example, a straight guy might not want to make out with the Beast, as Beauty lol.

    Anyway, in midflight I grow boyparts, and land at some random clinic. At this point I really really believe that the TOTM is to change gender and have sex. So I end up in one of the rooms, and the nurse practitioner is a petite woman in her 50's. She's attractive, so the age doesn't put me off. She asks me some medical questions while her back it turned to me, and I just strip down as fast as I can, answering her questions in as deep a male voice I can muster. But then I caught a glimpse of myself in a full length mirror in the room, and I see that I'm still female. It reaaaaaaaaaally bums me out for some reason,
    and I lose lucidity. Don't really remember much else.

    I want to do something that I've been thinking of for a while. Sorta like a "stabilization" thing if you will, but really more of a reaffirmation of lucidity. Every few moments or so in a lucid dream, I want to have a "time out." I'm hoping this will engage my rational mind a bit more so I don't get too caught up in stupidity. I really feel like my lucids have been shaky at best lately.

      Congrats on the ld! Perhaps your memory wasn't that bad after all, since the change of gender could count towards the opposite basic task?

      LOL, I should have known that TotY "is it okay to gender-bend the Beast?" conversation would have left residue in someone''s DJ.

      Your idea is great about taking a minute to just observe and appreciate the lucid dream scene for what it is. I had a brief phase where at the start of every lucid dream I just slowly took everything in, super calm, and just sort of let myself marinate in how awesomely awesome the lucid dream was. Vividness was just insane in those lucid dreams. In fact, one of them wound up as the Great Wall of China Task of the Year (2013).
