Personal Lucid Task Club

**Perlinfalcon** · 02-18-2011 06:54 PM

Welcome!

This is a club where we can come up with our own lucid tasks and keep track of our progress. It will work a bit like the Task of the Month thread, but each person has the freedom to make up their own task and there is no time limit. There won't be any badges, but there will be bragging rights! Permission is not needed to join the club. Just follow these steps:

1. State what task you would like to accomplish within a lucid dream.
2. Post back to this thread with a description of the dream where you accomplished your personal task, or any dreams where you managed to attempt it.
3. Create another task for yourself.

Suggestions:

1. Try to limit yourself to one task at a time. If you want to try more than one task within one dream, you can post more than one task. Just try to keep it to a list of things you can accomplish in one dream.
2. Only post a new task for yourself once you have accomplished the last one. If you really lose interest in your posted task or feel you can't do it, you can change your task. Just try to keep from jumping from task to task without completing any.
3. If someone else posts a task that you are interested in and you want to use it for inspiration, that should be fine, unless the original creator of the task is opposed to it.
4. Choose whatever difficulty level you would like, but try to keep it to something you feel is within your reach.

Good luck! I look forward to seeing everyone's ideas. Hopefully this should help both novice and experienced lucid dreamers with inspiration and motivation.

Since my only lucid dreams after joining this forum has been like 15 - 30 seconds, my task will be to try to increase the time inside a lucid dream.

**The Sandman** · 02-19-2011 05:31 PM

I once made up part of a song in my dream. I made up the lyric and I made up a tune. It was like, FREE SONG! Subjectively, I think it was awesome. I will have to record it and put up a link some time.

My idea is to come up with any part of a song. I would be so lenient as to say to create at least two lines of a song, poem, or story. The idea here is to come away with some creative writing in your dream.

I love the song I made up because it actually made sense, but I love parts of peoples dreams that don't make sense just as much; therefore, if you come up with anything at all, it will be AWESOME!

This is what I'm going to try again.

**JussiKala** · 02-19-2011 06:06 PM

I don't have many LDs

Next time I have one, I'll try to count how many fingers I have.

Starting off with something easy.

**Perlinfalcon** · 02-20-2011 03:49 AM

Kling- good first goal. It is the first step toward any other goals, after all. Let us know how it goes. I know you'll get it soon!

Rman- awesome! That was actually a goal of mine once, too. I have the song to show for it. I would like to record it and share it too sometime. I hope this works for you again. It would be really cool if you were able to record the song you get and share it with us. But it would still be cool to just hear a description of the dream.

Jussi- as simple as your task may seem, it can still be very entertaining. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

**Perlinfalcon** · 02-20-2011 05:37 AM

Ok, I had wanted to get more responses before I posted my own task, but I want to try it tonight because it might be my only chance this week.

My goal is to visit my own deserted jungle island. Hopefully fly around it. I've not yet succeeded in changing my surroundings, so this is my main challenge at the moment. I'm thinking of trying to use a portal.

**MrIrony** · 02-20-2011 01:13 PM

Hopefully fly around it.

Are you having troubles flying? If so, here´s a tip: start with something easy, like "swimming" and then while already in the air, switch to something else, if you want to go faster. Works for me.

Anyways here´s my task:
Find my DG.
Tried this a couple of times. First time I found someone who claimed to be my DG, but I think he lied. Not sure though. Second time I got some DCs to lead me there, but I woke up too soon. I hope I find him/her tonight.

Thanks for the tip on flying. I can fly in my LD's (the rare times I have them), but I get heavy sometimes. I'll take any tip I can get.

I love your task.

**Linkelynxy** · 02-20-2011 09:06 PM

I'd like to kill myself in an LD. I know that sounds dumb but slitting my wrists or something... I bet it would look really cool.
In a dream that is.

Wouldn't killing yourself in a dream wake yourself up? But if that's what your going for and if that what happens, good luck.

**Linkelynxy** · 02-20-2011 09:38 PM

I think that if you shot yourself in the head or something it would probably wake you up. But since slitting your wrists isn't a very fast way to go... idk really, I'll try it and tell you guys if it worked.

Just remember, there are people here who care about you!

**Perlinfalcon** · 02-20-2011 10:13 PM

MrIrony- good flying tip. I don't really have too much trouble flying, my main goal is to get to the island. Whether I decide to fly around or not we'll see when I get there. But your technique is pretty much exactly what works for me. Lately, my approach is to jump then swim, then once I have some momentum I imagine there is a force pushing my feet. I have trouble getting above tree level, though. Maybe that will be my next task.

Good luck finding your DG. How will you know if it is really him/her? I'm fascinated by the whole DG idea, but have never really looked for mine. It will be interesting to hear what yours has to say.

Linkelynxy- awesome task! Morbid, but awesome. Can't wait to hear how it turns out.

how do I join this task alliance? I have about two or three maybe four lucid dreams a week
and I can come up with some great suggestions

Hi Coolb3rt. All you have to do is state one goal you would like to accomplish. The tasks are pretty much for each person to work on for themselves and keep track of on this thread. But others can choose to join you in your task if they want.

So what task do you want to try first?

three or four a week! You guys kill me!

**Coolb3rt** · 02-21-2011 03:32 AM

lol rman!
I actually completed a task I wanted to do last night
but I want to modify it to something bigger
it is have an epic airsoft war with real guns with friends
like call of duty online
but now I want to add airstrikes tanks and other sweet stuff
so I want to have an awesome battle with real guns with some friends along with supply drops tanks air strikes, mounted guns and much much more
oh... you guys have no idea what you're missing!
the smell of gunpowder
the addrenaline
the epicness of gunshots defaning your ears!
now I want to expand my dream wars
that's mine!

**The Sandman** · 02-21-2011 04:07 AM

Oh, I know what I'm missing. If I could do it half the nights of every week, I would have tweeked my dreams to that level too. When I LD, I feel like it is kind of easy...but then I don't dream well for a long time.

I am desperate. I try my RC's, I have an RC as a desktop for my computer, I take vitamins and pretend they induce LD's and dream control. I am going to start eating a banana for the triptophan which your body turns into cerotonin. I want to start getting to bed earlier. LD's are the BOMB, but to this point, I've had trouble getting into them. I'm going to sign up for a DV class! NOW!

**Perlinfalcon** · 02-21-2011 04:32 AM

Rman- sounds like you have the dedication. And you have a great task. I think you are definitely on the right track. I think you will start to have more frequent lucids pretty soon.

Coolb3rt- great that you have so many lucids. You should be able to keep us entertained with tales of battle. Do you ever invent dream weapons? Or do you try to keep them as realistic as possible?

**Coolb3rt** · 02-21-2011 05:06 AM

well latley I have used mostly a m4 carbine and I only started having regular lucid dreams about at the beginning of two weeks ago I have had about idk 7 in the past two weeks or maybe 8

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I am a bit anxious about it, but I believe that intent and wake-life excitement play a large contributing role to lucid dreams. I'm definitely on it.

**Coolb3rt** · 02-21-2011 05:43 AM

the thing with my dreams... it's all in the mindset, the way you think.

**MrIrony** · 02-21-2011 09:23 AM

I managed to try my task last night.
Atleast I know my DGs name now.

Well I've been shot in a dream a couple of times, I just got horrible feelings throughout my whole body before waking up; it really wasn't too pleasant tbh. I guess it would be different in a lucid, also a headshot would probably just wake you. I guess its different for everyone anyway. Do post how it goes for you, I've always been interested in death in dreams.
