Thread: Personal Lucid Task Club

I went lucid last night. Almost immediately I tried my personal dream goal--to enter my worst and recurring childhood nightmare. I couldn't do it. I flew instead. I know I can fly.

I believe it is all about confidence. If anyone has any ideas, I'm very open. Last night was my chance.

Well Rman, The demon appears by a portal that is a ring of ashes. You could try transporting there the same way! Make or find a ring of ashes and use it as a portal to your own basement where the demon would follow you.

That would be nice if I could (that is not to say that I can't!). Last night I drew a circle around myself, but no ashes appeared. I realized I should have made a ring for the demon to appear. I tried, but it didn't really work either.

You made me remember in your other response that I actually did rub my hands together. It was something I have read on DV. I kind of felt it. It didn't really work or not work. I just started flying because I couldn't get into my nightmare.

I jump up and start flying easily. I stay heavy a lot. I can't get to high, but I am pretty good at it, but I couldn't make fireballs appear either. It is like I know that it is something that I'm trying to do that shouldn't be able to happen...as if flying is so normal, right?

Thanks for you input though. I always appreciate someone taking an interest, especially to help.

I think I'll try to fly to my old house and walk down into the basement. Then it might happen.

It would be weird if you would succeed in teleporting via ash circle and the first thing you would see is young yous terrified face while he turnes around and runs up the staircase. Then you would look down and see that you´re a demon. You would run after him to calm him down, but that just scare him more. Then he would disapear and you´d understand what you just did.

Anyways, I think going to you´re old house is a good idea. Good luck.

That's great! That would be so funny if that happened. Of course, now we've been talking about it, it just might.

Today 01:51 PMWell now what?
An update from me.
I had a 'Layer Zero' lucid experience last night. In it I was on my driveway and was thinking about my task to fly. I knew I wanted to get it achieved as soon as possible, but instead of realizing it was a dream that I was currently in, I thought "Hmm, I'd better put some practise in." I began to practise flying so I'd be good at it when the time came.
How did I miss that one?

Good one!

So now an update from me.

I tried flying to the island last night. I got just above the trees, lost the dream for a second, then found myself shooting into space. As I looked back down at the earth, it became a blue beach ball I was holding. I focused on a brown spot on the ball, hoping to make myself believe it was the island far below me. For I second I thought I was standing on a beach, then it turned out I was just drawing the scenery with a pencil in a sketchbook. I got sidetracked arguing with my DC sister and lost lucidity.

What's with the scenery turning into objects in my hands? That's kind of frustrating. The dream was pretty early in the night, so it wasn't too vivid anyway. I'm just longing for one of those magical vivid lucids I have had in the past where everything feels so ultra real.

Oh well. I did manage the basic task of the month during the dream, anyway.

LOL! Thanks MrIrony. I think I will just look for my old house.

A lot of people talk about difficulty with flying and I think I have a tip that can really help.

I have always been a really good flier, but suddenly flying became difficult for me. I could get up in the air but I would eventually glide back down to the ground like a paper airplane. So I got myself some help! Now if I ever have any trouble, I rub my hands together and when I take them apart, my palms are glowing white, they are boosters just like Iron mans! It is shocking how easy this is! It increases speed, increases agility, and is available whenever you need it!

Yeah, I know how you feel. I WILDed last night and didn't get around to my goal either. I went through a trap door in the floor, intending it to be a tropical island on the other side. There was a lot of sunlit grass, and I knelt down and felt it to try and stabilize the dream, intending that I would be surrounded by rainforest when I stood up. But the dream dissolved anyway.

So I guess I'll keep trying.

Maybe I will just try flying to my destination as well, although I would really like to learn how to change my surroundings.

I was discussing this with someone else today. I want to have someone else in my dream tell me how to conjure my powers. It won't feel like I came up with the answer of how to do it. Then I may have the confidence.

Other than that, I think practice may work. Continue intending, and couple that with thoughts during the day, and creating actions that mimic your desire. I am confident that I can work it out.

Good luck.
