Thread: Informal "Dark" Lucid Monthly Tasks?

Personally, I'd like to see tasks that involve developing offensive dream powers. Some people have trouble 'defending' themselves in lucids where they're approached hostilely, and having the confidence that comes from knowing how to directly overcome that kind of conflict is tantamount to actually succeeding and pulling off the power correctly.

In one dream, for example, I was with two friends and we had been approached by three strangers who had planned primarily on killing just me. My friends' eyes glazed over, like they were dazed and helpless, so I had to act alone. I flew into the air, shielded my friends, and set the entire field below me on fire. The three strangers didn't last very long.


Here's my suggestion for a dark lucid task of the month: "Summon a large demonic entity. Command it to destroy a skyscraper."
(This practices control over another 'free willed' being and opens up the possibility
of fighting by means of creating other creatures with whatever power you wish them to have.
That in itself may be easier for some people than actually conjuring a power directly, or destroying
the sky scraper by themselves.)

hmm, I also like that planet idea. As for the summoning, why not just let them summon whoever they want, will be much easier than your suggestion of summoning a demonic entity and if LDing is infact being done in the astral plane in a bubble, then this kinda summoning could be problematic in terms of RL. Just some food for thought

Hah, the motive for a demonic creature came from what the subject line suggested: that this be a "dark" task of the month. And if it for some unknown reason you are worried about bringing forth a being from an astral netherworld and would like to be relatively cautious about things, the best advice I can offer is: Don't listen to me.
