Thread: Personal Lucid Task Club

Percy: glad you had an epic 500th lucid. Sounds like it was pretty epic indeed. Lots of crazy stuff going on, there.

MrIrony: so does the music you heard in your last lucid count for your task? I'd like to hear about it. Also, I envy your teleportation abilities.

tom32 and fOrceez: good luck with your shared dreaming tasks! Although tom, are you counting it as a shared dream? Or just your interpretation of the green moon?

Now for my news:

I did it! FINALLY! I made it to the Island. Didn't do much there, but I made it.

I find myself on a grassy lawn. There are some abandoned-looking buildings around. I turn to see a sort of canal running next to the buildings. I remember the new ToTM and walk toward the water. There are a couple of dilapidated boats moored to an old dock. I walk along the dock to the end and kneel and look into the water. My brain does some crazy things with the water textures as usual, switching between completely transparent to very real looking to a kind of high res ripple effect. I put my hands in the water and play with the weird looking ripples for a little bit while Tom Waits narrates something in my head. I slip into the water next to one of the boats and look down into the murky depths. I think I can see the outline of a boat down there, but not a very big one. Suddenly, my desire to find the island pops into my head along with the knowledge that I need absolute certainty. I have a sudden rush as I think, "Finally! I've made it to the island!" knowing that when I turn around it will be there. Sure enough, as I turn in the water, I see the island at last. The shore is rocky and slopes steeply up out of the ocean. The vegetation starts out scrubby but becomes more thick and tangled and wild as it gets higher up from the water. The higher slopes are covered in deep green trees. I climb out of the water onto the rocky beach and make my way up the slope, pulling myself along with my hands and touching all the different plants as I go. They seem to be predominantly short evergreen bushes with beach grass growing through them. Here and there are patches of tall white lilies. I come to a small house. I am surprised because it is supposed to be MY desert island, but I figure I've lived here for a while and maybe built the house. It is a little wooden house surrounded by overgrown flower beds and painted with white peeling paint. I make my way behind the house and continue climbing. I can now see some sheer dramatic cliffs rising out of the jungle farther in the distance. I take a moment to enjoy the "lucid blue distance". I climb further and come across another structure, this one obviously abandoned with the white paint peeling badly. It seems to be like a little watch station about the size of a shed. Attached to it is a long vine-covered wall that blocks my progress up the hill. I walk along the wall to a precipice where I suddenly switch to third person and wake up.

I will come up with another task in another post.

YAY, you made it.

For your question, no, that music won´t count for my task because I want to be able to play music when I want. Although it would be great to have songs start playing automaticly...
