Thread: Personal Lucid Task Club

Once I have my first DILD or MILD, I'm gonna warp to a British trench and fight in world war one, but with modern weapons >

Yup, that´s the downside. Although I haven´t tried this yet, so I don´t know how it goes. I could just imagine pressing some buttons to do something instead of just playing a game in a dream. We´ll see. Hope you get over your dryspell

Wow, there are some pretty cool goals here that I might have to borrow when I'm done mine

I don't have a whole lot of dream control yet, so I have two goals: one location dependent, and one not:

1. learn "waterbending." Something I've wanted to try for a bit. I attempted it in my last LD, but got distracted (dream logic kills me). But I don't have the control yet to make water out of nothing, or change the scene, so it'll only really happen if I find myself near water (but this happens fairly frequently).

2. Reach the clouds, go past them and into space if possible. Flying in LDs is second nature to me (though sometimes I get stuck a couple feet off the ground if I'm not lucid enough). Since that's something I know I can do, I really want to push it to it's limit.

Cool goal. I don´t know if this works for you, but I discovered this in one of my lucids. I did a hole in my right hand and found some dark, tar-like matter in there. So try putting your left/right hands fingers on your other hands palm and move them away from each other and move the skin away while expecting there to be water in there. If you get that to work you´ll always have an unlimited amount of water with you. Good luck.

Thanks for the tip ^_^ Hopefully I'll be able to remember it when I'm dreaming ;P

I have always wanted to put ld goals i'm trying to achieve on a fourm. Thats when I came ocross this, just in case I need some help. I can manifest powers in LD, but I can't figure out how to control where I am. Heck! I always foreget that I have while LDing. I already master flying, I didn't want to learn it but my Ld kept makeing me fall from the sky into a ocean. When I was feet away from the water, it kept restarting.
At the third try I made a energy field around me, it didn't make me fly. The feild allowed me to move the world while I stood in one place. I don't think that is flying, but it is affective.
I always soom to fight with dc's in a LD. Out of nowhere they will try to kill me! So instead of fist fighting(Does any one else have the problem when you punch a dc you hit a force field around them) My goal is to use magic on a dc who will try to kill me.
I did use Magic before, i'm actually good at it. Does any one else have the prblems that I put in my post?

I haven't had many lucids (I have trouble getting more than 2 a month actually) but im gonna try really hard for March. Hopefully my task will motivate me!

I want to shapeshift into a bird and fly. Ive shapeshifted once but it was a really bad quality lucid, and I couldn't remember most of it when I woke up anyway.

Cool tasks! Flying up to cloud level is something I want to try as well. For some reason I have difficulty getting above tree level. It will be good inspiration for me to see how you work this one.

Good luck with your task. Any idea what kind of magic you want to use? Or will you just figure it out once you are in the situation? Do you use spells or do you just "will" something to happen?

This is a task very close to my heart. I am around birds all day in waking life, and am actually quite a bird nerd. So far I haven't done this myself, though. I turned into a gryphon once, but that's not quite the same. Any idea what kind of bird? Like a predatory bird or like a small bird or like a crow?

Well, my first attempt at my second goal (flying up to the clouds) did not go so well. I had at least three or four lucid dreams (possibly more) in quick succession last night, and woke myself up every time after about 30 seconds. For some reason, in each of them, my left eye was closed, and even though I could otherwise get my dream to "solidify" I could not get both eyes open, and every time I tried, I just opened my real eyes (waking myself up, obviously), and then would fall back asleep straight into a LD, and have exactly the same problem, and wake up all over again. It was the most bazaar thing ever. I tried verbal commands, tried to physically pull my eyelids open with my hands... In the last one I just gave up and tried to fly anyway, and kind of made it to the clouds, and sort of past, and then made the mistake of closing my eyes to visualize what space looks like, and just woke up. Even though I kind of made my goal, I'm not counting it, because it was such a weird... I don't know, it was like one second I'm on the ground floating a bit, the next I'm in the clouds, so it wasn't actually flying...

I don't know. When I finally woke up for good, all I could think was "what the hell?"

Entaria, you got me. I don't know what happened to you. Next time that happens(Probably not, but just in case) ask a dc what is wrong with your eye, i don't know what else to do.
I once shapedshifted into a snake. It was discusting. I transformed like the animorphs did, even though I was reading those old book. Good luck with shape shifting.
I didn't get a ld last night, which sucks because of my goal. Perlinfalcon, I had a LD a week ago and I used magic. It came to me, probably because the situation was magic related. A evil wolf demon charged at me, it happened really fast. The first thing that poped into my head was 'magic'. I needed to protect my self so I braced my self. In doing so, I raised my right hand. Then this wired energy went through me. The next thing I knew, a pink five sided star with strange symbols floating around it apered infront of me. Even though it was the size of a plate you eat off of, it was still cool.
The shield did protect me but I was flung backward into a libary. I was cut up from the window, so I healed my self. A pink energy formed around me, it took the shape of a bee with a crown on it. The next thing I knew I was healed!
My guess is that the I summon what I need. Then it takes a random shape close to the object's meaning. The bee was nurtuaring and kind, the shield was like the north star. Each of those have a meaning to me. My brain must have picked it up and made the magical energy take those forms. So the next time I use magic on a dc, all I have to do is summon it and my brain will chose the shape that resembls the meaning of it. Al least I have a goal for tonight or untill a ld.

I want to try becoming a bluebird. If you do try my task, post it here, i want to read all about it

I finally broke my three week dryspell with an LD last night. But all I did was float around the ceiling, order drinks at the bar, and make out with some guy. Just goes to show sometimes your dream self has other priorities. Oh well. Maybe I will have another one soon.

Hmmm, well this sounds like something I'm interested in.... So, one of my personal goals before was to see me sleeping in bed, but once I was lucid and went to my bedroom, I was not in the bed (so it is still one of my goals). So, I think that what I need to do first is actually "see" myself in a dream.

My official personal goal is: To look into a mirror.

First partial LD (~5 seconds): June 2010
Second LD (~ 1 minute): March 5th
Last LD (~1-2 minutes): March 8th

Wish me luck!

Good luck.

This is a nice idea for a thread. I think I'll join in.

Last month I achieved one of my personal lucid tasks - to ask someone to tell me the meaning of life (the answer was shaving, or that's what I interpreted it as).
My current one I have decided on is also to fly, and I'll post back on that as soon as I make progress. Unfortunately I keep stupidly missing many dream signs, so I'll have to remain alert during the day.
Have fun with your own tasks.

I´m pretty sure my DCs would say 42.

Yes.

I agree with Perlinfalcon that having too many dream goals is perhaps not the best idea, but I have to add one to mine.

My first goal was to write a song or a poem. Even painting a picture would be great, but that might be hard for me to recreate. A visual art would be awesome though.

My second goal was to revisit the worst nightmare I used to have as a kid. It was recurring. Older now, I'm not afraid, so I want to face it. I also want to explain it to someone so they can draw it in a series of 5 paintings or drawings.

My third goal which I feel compelled to offer here is to create a second me, or a specific character, or a statue or a symbol or sign that I leave in a dream as a marker that finds me in another dream to tell me I am dreaming. I want to some how create a way that I begin all my dreams the same way, with a sign. Someone who comes up to me and tells me straight up that I am dreaming. Actually, I read something like this from another poster on DV. A character told him/her he/she was dreaming.

That would be ultimately awesome!

Had a lucid last night but it was really short so i didn't get to try the task.

So far no luck, have not had any lucids for 5 days and my recall has been crappy too... so frustrating!

Holy poo! I cant seem to focus on my magic goal while lucid, so i'm changin it. To summon a keyblade(Which will be customized to my personality) or use a zanpakuto from vleach. I will mostly go for the key blade one, I have been playing kingdom hearts for the last couple of days. Wish me luck!

Well, once again, I kind of accomplished my second goal... but I was not lucid *facepalm* brain, I know you're trying to help me, but that's not quite the right way!

Hey, great thread! :bravo:
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.)

The keyblade task is exactly what I was going to do later. Good luck.

My (short) dryspell finaly ended and I managed to have a short lucid. (Which I completely wasted while trying to put some cubes on the same level.) So I will probably be able to complete my task soon.
