:chuckle: No walls, no doors, no obstacles, no people, no nothing? You didn't bump into anything!? You walked 50 steps and the way was all clear?
:-? What about if somebody moves into the whole dream that way? Anyone?

^^ That's the thing about dreams -- if you're not aware of it, it doesn't exist!
In fact, I've seen "walking backwards through something" as a dream control technique to move through some obstacle.
Nope! Nothing hahaha. And usually my mind is very creative (as you can see in this very dream with my Congress White House lol.
Exactly... When I did it I was not even considering I would bump into something, just walked backwards hehe. Good idea about walking through things backwards, gotta try that in the future :) I usually walk through things literally (smashing/shattering) hahaha.
:D Perhaps that's exactly the reason why I find this task so attractive to do!!
Good one PercyLucid! Now I have dares to grow and shrink so I can't go wrong even if I accidentally start going in the wrong direction! :) I'm looking forward to doing this! And congrats on accomplishing so much in such a short dream, Manolo. :chuckle:Quote:

The next thing I recall I was walking down a street. Gib and Sam were with me. I realised I was dreaming with a hand check. I also remembered a lucid dare to get naked in front of a DC. I saw a guy walking down the street in a suit. I ran down the street towards him undressing along the way, very excited and totally not caring about my nakedness. He looked very uncomfortable and started walking quicker to avoid me. I decided to have some fun with this.
I asked him “What do you think of my penis?”
“Just terrible” he said in a mumble. He was averting his eyes but occasionally casting a glance to the side at me. He was now almost running to get away but I was cheekily strolling along briskly beside him.
Then he said a bit louder “Just…just terrible!”
I now had his suit in my hands for some reason. So, again remembering the costume TOTM, I thought I'd wear that as a costume for an adventure, and take on the persona of super-uncomfortable-awkward-man! I took ages to get dressed, I think because I got distracted again by Gib and Sam, who were present for the whole naked incident, and thought it was as hilarious as I did. I think they might have been messing around and making it difficult for me to get dressed by stealing the suit and running away taunting me. So I never got there and eventually lost lucidity.
I DARE:
CanisLucidus: Grow a beard and show your son. How does he react?
PercyLucid: Walk backwards until you bump into something/someone. Turn around to see what it is.
anotherdreamer: Explore a light-painted forest/jungle with glowing plants and animals (could be similar to the night time scenes of Pandora in Avatar)
Anyone: Create your own orchestral theme music, that follows you wherever you go, reacting to your actions and feelings.
I couldn't find a good reference video of the Family Guy scene that triggered this idea. This video just has the audio for the scene without the visuals, but you get the idea (it's from season 3, Episode 21 "Family Guy Viewer Mail #1"):

Ha ha, I love it! Not only is this something that I've never attempted before, but my son will love it when I describe this dream to him the next day. This will be the best answer I've ever had to the morning, "Did you have any lucid dreams, daaaddy?" question. :content:
Thank you, Jenkees!
Ah man, I strongly recommend something like this to anyone that's never had a lucid dreaming soundtrack before! I've lucked into some good ones in a few dreams, and the experience is always awesome. Great "anyone" dare!
This one gets me excited! Its on like Donkey Kong! I was looking for an idea and this showed in my email. I need to start checking here when the TOTMs are boring and uninteresting. :rolleyes:Quote:

And LOL @ your dream Jenkees! Terrible just terrible. :cackle:
I dare somebody to dare me to do something!
Great. :) I'm looking forward to hearing about it!
That's really cool that it just happens by itself sometimes! It's something I've wanted to try in a dream for a while but have never thought of it while dreaming.
Awesome! I'm glad you like it. :D
Good luck!
Nice dares, Jenkees!
Your dream was hilarious! :cackle:
*Updated dare archive*
Pretty cool dream Jenkees and thanks for the dare.
Question. Is bumping into a pit and falling (backwards) allowed? Or I have to bump into something/someone? Seems cool task, but I believe, easy. If you don't see it, it does not exist, but if you believe you might hit something, you will :) But just to know on what to focus :D
Which part have you never attempted before? Summoning your son, growing a beard or self manipulation in general? A few elements to this dare so it might be a bit of a challenge. I'm sure you're up to it though!
Yeah that would be fine. I thought it might be a bit easy for you but perhaps it would be interesting to go in with no expectations of what you will bump into, but believe that there will be something there, and see what your subconscious comes up with. :)
Well, I thought I would have a better time last night. I only got a small LD doing random stuff and completely forgot my goal, but I did have a non lucid moment that got me close. It was a very vivid and detailed dream but here is the gist of it...
I was watching a WWII Bugs Bunny movie that I became apart of. Some of the paratroopers joined sides with the Nazi's and started working at the store. I was at a loss trying to decide what to do. I some how set off an alarm and I heard some deep theatrical music starting. I told the guy I was with, "We are in trouble. Don't you hear the music?" This reminded me of the dare and I became lucid, but unfortunately, the dream went dark and I woke up.
I've done some body manipulation (transformed into a wolf) but I've never grown a beard! And my son has appeared in several of my lucids, but I don't believe it's been the result of a summon now that you mention it!
And man, Jenkees, your very cool orchestral theme music dare inspired a good chunk of my lucid dream from last night!
Then another scene placed me in the outer area of a symphony concert hall. I hadn't incubated it, but your dare was apparently really on my mind!Quote:
I remember Jenkees’ dare to play an orchestral soundtrack. I raise my arms in the air, willing one to arise. I hear something! But it’s very faint, sounding like nothing more than an orchestra tuning up before a concert. Yes, that makes sense, cool soundtrack will come from doing cool stuff.
This was the full dream: Narcissus at the Symphony - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
I'm sure I'll be trying this one again!
Thanks for offering, Percy, but I still feel like I'm yet to really achieve the "orchestral soundtrack" dare. Looking forward to it, though! Speaking of which...
... Jenkees, your cool orchestral dare popped up in one of my non-lucids last night! In the dream, I opened my garage to find a violinist and cellist playing the theme from "Last of the Mohicans" on my driveway. It was really good, too! I stopped and just enjoyed the music for a while, the whole time thinking that "I hope I get music this cool when I do that orchestral dare!" :chuckle:
I took another stab at Hukif's Spider-Man dare. I'm really not sure if this counts as a success or failure. I did everything I could, to fight him (even got an attack in), but he just didn't want to fight me back! Lame. Lol. Anyway, it's a long one, filled with shoddy control, but it was awesome.

I've been struggling with summoning the graveyard and Commendatore of ~ Dreamer's ~ dare but I was led on a little adventure through hell! Is this okay?
Little Adventure in Hell - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
@dolphin: Awesome dream! It's especially cool that is started with a soprano singing, since the dare is opera-themed!
I'm definitely happy to count that dare as completed! I'm glad you got to have a cool adventure to hell!
Btw, your DJ entry has comments disabled, did you know?
Feel free to post your dares when you're ready!
@OZ: I'm so impressed with all the things you achieved in one dream!
We'll leave it up to Hukif to decide whether it counts as a completed dare, but it was a super cool dream nonetheless!

(with dolphin's completed dare only at this stage)
Thanks ~Dreamer~! I don't have any dares ready at the moment. I post them in a new post when their ready.
Percy, I accept your dare! I almost fully transformed into a dolphin this morning in my lucid so I believe I could fully transform with just a bit more focus. Your dare will be an ideal application for my new skill!
Here's my dares:
Percy Lucid-Darth Vader is hiding in a spaceship with evil plans. Find and defeat him to save humanity.
StephL-Hit the triple 20 with a dart.
spellbee2-Transform into a cat and in that form kill a rodent.
anyone-Surf a wave near a beach.
Let me know if anybody wants their dare changed!
