Then my subconscious succeeded in mentally taking the mickey again. A scene change brought me to my old school playground, where I continued to try and jump high, but only lifted a few feet off the floor for a second or two, and as I persevered my efforts got worse. "Too much doubt setting in," I said to myself. I tacitly understood that a little bit of doubt can stop you from doing something efficiently in a lucid dream, but again this never clicked entirely. What a fool I am.

nah sounds like you are just about to do it to me

your no fool, your mind just decides to teach you in some bizzare ways but you have definately learned a very useful lesson

Good prediction, whiterain, I accomplished my task last night (sort of)...
It was peculiar because I couldn't tell if I was flying or swimming. I entered an underwater shop through a flooded stone tunnel, and once inside it no longer seemed like I was underwater even though I was still swimming. There were even live bikini models standing around in the shop oblivious of me, many of them friends who I know (won't reveal who obviously). As I continued swimming around looking for an opening in the roof for air, I slowly came to a realisation that this was a dream. It wasn't a sudden full-fledged certainty like I'm used to, but I felt like I had much more conscious control over my actions than before. I continued swim-flying around the shop but woke up shortly afterwards. I finally understood what that Reece Jones guy was on about to have the feeling of flying but the feeling of lying back in bed at the same time, as I woke up slowly and transferred between the two states very subtly.
Flying task accomplished. Next task: Eat some concrete.

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.)

Here's a link if you'd like to read the whole thing:

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!

I thought you guys might like to see the finished product!

I'll be making another film in this style soon, so I will try to use my dreams for creative inspiration again.

My current personal task is to enter a world made of light painting, similar to this one (it's a commercial I made about art/dreaming)...
