I made it!

Last night I became lucid in a dream in which some sort of elite security agent was following me with a machine gun. I had already gotten on a train and climbed the roof of the train to escape him, but suddenly he appeared on the roof, too. This was when I became lucid. The very first second I was still afraid and thought of flying away as I almost always do in lucids, but then I decided that this would either make me lose lucidity or destabilize the dream. So I decided for practising a bit of dream control and stabilization instead.
I turned around to that agent, said "This is my dream" and he vanished. Then I rubbed my hands right away and licked them afterwards. They tasted of nothing. Then I climbed down the outside of the train, licked its outer wall (which tasted a bit of iron and was quite cold) and a golden wing-shaped earring that was hanging from the side of the train (it tasted very sour and a bit of iron, too). When I climbed down from the train and set my feet onto the ground I noticed the train was standing still inside a building now. So I walked into another room and started licking the floor (which tasted of nothing, but was very dry and dusty).

I'm so happy

Congrats krake

Got a real good feeling about spring break. Hoping to get my first WILD.

Hooray Krake! That's awesome! Cool that the one guy disappeared so easily.

Do you plan on picking another task now? Or are you going to keep licking things?

I'll try the task of the month now. Picking a bouquet of flowers seems doable to me

And then I might try and play Sucker Punch. I imagine trying to find a map, a lighter, a knife, a key and something special I don't know yet to be really interesting. I hope those will be five little quests full of surprises. Who knows where I'll find these things?

But I'll definitely keep on licking things, too, mainly because it is fun. But also because it's a good way to stabilize.

I want to WILD and i want to find one of two DC. My grandfather R.I.P. or this woman that was in one of my LD.

I had a non lucid dream the other night that I had wings (no lucid fail) and it is my fav dream, I want to do that again with lucidity
cuz it was so realistic!!!

Had my first lucid in like a month and I thought about my island task but it seemed too hard at the time. So I just did the basic task of the month and then tried to catch up to my giant eagle and failed.

Gongrats Krake and Perlinfalcon.

I managed to do my first task! So from now on i´m trying to get music to my dreams.

Hey, MrIrony, you're really cleaning up here! Glad you got your task done to your liking. Too bad you ended up killing that girl from your class first, but what's another DC casualty? At least it turned into a proper battle after that.

The music thing shouldn't be too hard for you. Looking forward to hearing about it soon!

Mine should probably be to actually figure out HOW to lucid dream consistently. But I have found that I can greatly influence what I dream about just by concentrating on something specific (an idea, person, etc.) and I usually have a dream about it, so I can probably just do that until I start LDing.

Yeah, I´ll be looking forward to hearing about it too.

i think its how the dreamer interprets death. I dreamed (non lucid) someone was comming to kill me and some of my friends in a apt we were staying in. i remember having a gun in my hand, seeing the person that wanted to do us harm and then shooting my weapon for whatever reason the gun didnt work but the other guys gun did, when i got shot i braced my self for the pain i was sure to feel instead it felt like my being seperated in to several pieces kind of like the way a plate brakes on the floor then immediately comming back together again. Thats all i can remember what i dont remember is waking up after getting shot. My explaination is that Im not really afraid of death its self cause i know we continue after physical life i have personally experienced this several times and i just knew before i even knew but what i am afraid of is the pain that may come with death.

Good job completing your task Krake. I need to pay attention to my dream goals the next time I become lucid.

That sounds like a good way to start LDing! If concentrating on something specific often makes you dream about it, you could also try and make yourself do a reality check every time this specific thing appears. So if it appears in your dream then, you'll have a higher chance of getting lucid.

Got my task done last night. I had a two dollar bill in my hands but the picture on it didn't seem right... After a reality check I knew I was dreaming. Reached into my right pocket. Found... nothing. In my left pocket I found... a piece of gum. Gee. I was expecting something a LITTLE more exciting. Well, I guess it counts anyway. I'm not sure what I want to do next though.

After reading some other users' goals, I've decided to use my next lucid dream for creative inspiration.
I'm doing my final year at film school and I have a major assignment coming up...
My goal is to use my LD to experiment with visuals to use in my film (it's an art piece using lights.)

I completed my task on March 28, 2011.
I've been a bit slack about filling out my DJ, but the post is finally up...
Here's a link if you'd like to read the whole thing:
Porno Nightmare + Personal Lucid Task - Dream Journals - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource

Or here's an excerpt of just the part where I completed my task:
Percy and I began using our fingers and paint brushes to create images out of light in mid-air.
The children started making requests, such as their names. I would write the whole name with my finger, but nothing would appear until the end, when all the letters would come to life in bright colours and dance in the air.
I remember one girl saying, “Do one for me!” so I asked what her name was and she told me it was Jennifer. I just wrote 'Jen' but this one didn't work.

I realised I was side-tracked from my task so I ran over to a quiet area to experiment.
At first, I could only make dots in the air, so I decided to make use of the spinning wheel at the playground. I conjured multiple strings of fairy lights, which I wrapped around the spinning wheel. I gave it a big spin and it all unraveled and the fairy lights flew everywhere... It looked awesome!

Thanks guys; I will post a new goal soon!

Anthonyyy! Yayyy! A piece of gummm! Seriously, congratulations. Are you going to try the bird thing next? I'm campaigning for it to be TotM next month, actually. We'll see if that happens.

Amity! Cool dream! Are you going to be able to use that effect somehow? I really like the idea.

Lol my subconscious needs to stop being so boring
Yeah, I'm gonna get started with it. If its still too dificult I'll change it to something a bit more simple.

Also that sounds really awesome, Amity. Bet your project is gonna rock.

I once reached into a pocked and pulled out a knife. It was what I needed, but I knew what I needed.
I think if you reach into your pocket blindly as an exercise, finding gum is right on. You are probably
disappointed because you didn't put it in your mouth and chew dream gum. That would have been
pretty cool.

So let me ask directly, did you chew the gum?

Haha. Nope, just tossed it aside and continued on. Just seemed ridiculous at the time. Next time I see gum in my dream I'll chew it ^-^

My goal right now is to create an object.
Either that or change an object into what I want it to be...

I can create people, but not objects. Weird much?

Indeed a cool dream! I did not know about this thread before!

What do you want me to accomplish? Who shall I defeat now?

Mhuahahaha

My current goal is to shapeshift into many different fictional creatures. So far i have only shapeshifted into a werewolf.
