Wakata’s Deep Lucid Tasks of the Month

This thread is going to contain unofficial monthly lucid tasks. It will be similar to the official one in that I will post a new task sometime each month, and anyone who wants to can try and complete it.

These tasks are special, though. They will all be aimed at either increasing your lucid potential, discovering new aspects of lucid dreaming, discovering more about the way that the human mind functions, or something similar.

Each task will be classified as one of the following: Lucid Development, Lucid Exploration, Experimental, or Pushing the Boundaries.

Lucid Development

These tasks will take established lucid skills that many people do not know about or do not use regularly, and will get you to apply them in various ways. Basically, these tasks aim to up your lucid repertoire.

Lucid Exploration

These tasks will be unique things that I think of to do in a lucid dream. More closely resembling the official “Lucid Tasks” than any of the other categories, these are just for fun. The only “non-deep” category.

Experimental

These tasks will aim to discover more about the functioning of the human mind and the subconscious.

Pushing the Boundaries

I’ll throw in one of these every once in a while. These tasks will aim to research some of the “tamer” Beyond Dreaming topics that are directly related to lucid dreaming. These include dream guides, Dreamland, etc. I will be very interested to see the outcomes of these tasks.

...

I will assign one task a month, sometime during the month (I will try to assign it in the earlier half of the month). If you complete a task, post the dream you had that contained your completion of the task. Also post any comments or notes that you have regarding the task or your experience.

Many of the tasks will not be a straightforward, “complete the task and post the dream.” Instead, they will be, “do a certain thing in your dream, and then post the results you get (along with the dream that you did it in).”

Anyone who completes the current task can have the wondrous honor of gloating about their completion of it in their sig!

Unless someone volunteers to make a banner for each task that will be PM’d to each of the people who complete it for display in their sig (under a spoiler tag, perhaps).

That would be really cool.

So yeah, that’s basically it. Welcome to Wakata’s Deep Tasks.

See below for Task No. 1!

Task # 1

Lucid Development

Make a creation room. This is a rather advanced lucid skill, but anyone can do it if they try. Basically, blank out everything in your dream universe (except yourself, of course). Make it like a fresh sheet of paper. There is absolute… nothingness. This frees you from the distractions of the dream universe, with all of its scenery, DCs, and other complications, and allows you to make stuff without having anything break your concentration or reduce your lucidity. That is why it’s called a creation room, because the freedom from distractions and the absolute blankness open up your imagination and allow you to create anything that you feel like. A kickass costume? You got it. A massive-mecha-suit-with-green-laser-beams? Just say the word.

And then you can create scenery and a universe once again, and utilize your creations.

Have fun with this one!

If I can suggest something, I think you should do one under every section for every month. Maybe have people in charge of a different one every month (I'd be willing)

**hisnameistyler** · 05-28-2009 03:02 AM

I was thinking the same exact thing as Oniman actually. This is a good idea though!

**oniman7** · 05-28-2009 03:04 AM

So, how about it? Could you assign me one of the tasks for every month? Please?

**WakataDreamer** · 05-28-2009 04:37 AM

Hmm... okay. You get Lucid Exploration, the fun one!

oniman is officially in charge of Lucid Exploration!

And I'll get around to assiging the others to other people...

Here's how we'll do it, then. Every month, each person in charge of a section will post a task that is applicable in that section.

Here is the format to followin posting a task (with spaces in the codes):

Task # (whatever number task it is. All of the tasks for each month will share the same task number, so there will be 4 tasks for each month, one for each section, all with the same number)
(blank space)
[ b][color= (cyan for Lucid Exploration, red for Lucid Development, blue for Experimental, and purple for Pushing the Boundaries)]Name of category that task falls under[/ color][/b ]
(blank space)
Description of task. It doesn't have to be a rigorous, formal description. Talk "normal,"if you know what I mean. There'sno format you have to adhere to (Ex: "The "Lucid Development" Task for the Month of "August" is to "fly on a unicorn.")

...

And that's it. That's the format for posted Tasks. Sorry if any ofit doesn't make sense to you, I tried. Let me know if you need clarification.

Btw,oniman... I'll agree to your idea... but the problem is, I don't know if the people I assign to each category will capture what I envisioned for each category, you know? They may post a task where I'm like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa... what? That is not what I had in mind for 'Experimental' tasks. I'm not sure if you really understand what the category entails."

We'll have to solve that issue before I assign the other tasks to people.I want to keepone (haven't decided which yet) for myself, and I trust that you can handle Lucid Exploration, but the others I'm not sure about assigning until it's clear that the people I assign them to really understand the meaning and the vision behind the category, and can post tasks that really fit into what I intended for the category to be.
