I can't wait to do the elevator task. Thought I might try the atomic one, but I can't really visualize what it would look like. I keep thinking about the Magic School Bus ep. where the kids have the car wash and have to remake the sugar hood ordainment. But not sure I can recreat something like that in the dream world just yet lol
Anyways definitely going to do the elevator one this month.
Take Care,

Well, atoms look like this.Quote:

If you can't downsize, you can always pretend to do so by making the atoms grow larger.
Hey thanks for the idea and image. I just might have a go at the advanced task :)Quote:

I think I was able to do this because I always dream about getting stuck in the elevator at work. OK so, I was at work with my daughter and the creepy groundskeeper dude (who, last week I dreamed violently murdered someone - but I digress) Anyway I didnt want to get on because something bad always happens when I do, but thats when I realized I was dreaming and wouldnt get hurt, so we all got on and I pressed the button for floor 1, but of course it takes us to the basement instead where this creep chick that looks like hashimoto works. Anyway I decide I'm taking the stairs back up but the groundskeeper dude informs me there are no stairs, only elevator. Then I proved him wrong by deciding there were indeed stairs and taking them back up!
wow the elevator one sounds fun because i have no idea where its gonna lead me
Lucid
Non-Lucid
I was walking home in my old home town when suddenly I started driving. I saw a curve up ahead and closed my eyes to see if I could still drive without being able to see. I eventually opened my eyes whilst going around the bend and became lucid. I wanted to go faster and then I did. If I moved backwards I became more sleepy and if I moved forwards I went faster. This went on for about 1Km and then I tried to find an elevator for the lucid dream challenge and subsequently went back to sleep
Well that was my first lucid dream where I had more control over my other lucid dream that I can barely remember. Still trying and we'll see if I get there. I really want to do the advanced task though - would be really interesting :)
I did the basic task, a little disappointed where it took me though.
I get the feeling I always associate with the beginning/middle of a WILD and simply moved into the dream with out wasting any more time.
I am now laying in bed and know I am now dreaming. Before I even try to move I know it will be hard as I know the dream has not settled yet. I take a minute to take a deep breath and tell my self to just jump out of bed. I get excited this works and I am now walking to the bedroom door. I think to my self when I get to the living room there will be an elevator waiting for me, but I do not have much conviction with this thought and as such I am not surprised there is not one saying well of course there isn't one there because I did not believe in it enough to summon one. I move to the door to the outside and here I stop to do my RC as always and then tell my self there will be an elevator when I get outside at the top of the stairs. This I really believe and so when I open the door and look to my right sure enough I see any elevator. I am only mildly happy about this as I knew it would be there, and walk up to it. I notice when I go to push the buttons to call the elevator there is only a down button. I think to myself this is odd, but then say well no because I want it to take me where it will without me influencing it. So I push the down button and the doors promptly open. When I get inside I take a second to think about where I want it to take me before I tell my self to clear my thoughts as I am trying not to influence the place. When I go to close the doors two DCs run up the stairs calling for me to hold the elevator for them, I do and they get in and push a button and away we go.
It is a few dream seconds before the elevator opens again. This time I see a huge black room only lit a few paces in front of me. The two DCs run off all happy and disappear into the darkness. I look up to see a marquee displaying some abstract thought about the 3d plain being on the 2d plan and how it would look or something like that. I do not remember exactly what it said as it was too abstract for me to remember and I have not mastered reading in dreams yet. I think to my self how cool this is and how I so want to explore this idea and thought so I start walking into the room. As I am walking I look up to see light streaks turn into mini disco balls every few paces. Soon the darkness gives way and I now find my self in the middle of a huge party club, but during the day so it is slow and not packed at all. I look around in awe and wonder and see a waitress looking at me with a big grin on her face. She approaches me and says something I again do not remember before fading away. I walk aroung the club a bit before I wake.
The feelings I got in this dream were cool. I felt totally calm and relaxed I have never felt this way before in a dream. I think I will try this task again to see where it leads me again.
Take Care,
D.G. :jester:
Congrats! :goodjob2: I probably won't be able to do it this month... Keep chickening out. :PQuote:

I must admit, I failed to get on an elevator a couple days ago. I pressed the button and heard the elevator moving up and down, but the doors never opened. Will try again!!!
Too bad!!! Elevators work terribly bad, that might become a challenge because the doors do not open.
Try to push or blast the doors next time if they do not open.
Man I've already tried this twice in lucids but I always get sidetracked I'll ask people where the elevator is then they'll tell me but I'l get distracted and go do something and then remember but it all just repeats.
I took an interesting ride in a primitive elevator, A Paternoster to be exact.
Walking into a large house with 3 DCs, two males and one female. The lower level is one big room, full of assorted stuff. Most of the items appear to be household furniture. I slide a couple of pieces of patio furniture to the side and walk to a large wooden door. Opening the door reveals a Paternoster. The wall is partially transparent and all of the cars and drive cables are visible on one side only. A male DC boards a Paternoster car, only to go in a complete circle and return to the same spot. I became lucid at this time. I found my hands and started rubbing them together for a bit while looking at the floor. The floor is a gray-blue at first, but quickly forms the detail of medium hardwood planks. When I look back at the wall, the Paternoster is now working properly and the wall is solid white. Both sides of the Paternoster are visible and the cars are moving in the proper direction. The cars are well lit and have a sign on the back wall that I cannot read. I boarded a car and one female DC got in the car with me. The car was moving on a journey that seems to last quite a long time. The floor of the car vibrates and the sound of rushing wind surrounds me from all sides. The car reaches the end of its track and turns upside-down before letting us off at the second floor. Maintaining balance was not a problem as the gravity seems to invert with the car. The second floor is upside-down in relation to the first floor. (Note: I do not remember stepping out of the car.)
The second floor is a huge living room with no windows. The walls and ceiling are white. A dark wooden chair rail separates medium wide-grain wood paneling from the rest of the wall. Huge crystal chandeliers provide light in the room. The room is full of sofas, tables, lamps and other furniture. There are framed paintings(?) on the wall, but they are all a gray-blue blur. I walked into the middle of the room and my DC sits down on a couch. Two ferrets are stirring around in a cage in the corner. The ferrets look out of the cage, then walk to the lower level of their cage and exit. They run over to my feet for a moment. One of the ferrets runs over and checks out my DC on the couch. I picked up the remaining ferret and sat on the couch. The couch was soft black leather and was extremely plush and comfortable. Two small dogs ran from a dark corner and jumped on the couch with me. One of the dogs licked my face. I pushed the dogs off the couch onto the floor and said “NO!” I find a remote control laying on the couch, but none of the buttons work. My DC asked me, “What's wrong with the TV?” I said, “I don't know.” I pressed the button again and heard a very loud crackling sound. This was the dream's exit.
I had a semi-lucid where I was in the hallway of an apartment building, next to an elevator. I walked up to it and thought it might take me somewhere bad or scary, so I decided to take the stairs instead. :P I had another one with almost the exact same outcome.Quote:

@Puffin: Sorry to hear that about your dreams and the elevators. I still can not go into dark or shadowed places for fear of it taking me into a nightmare type dream. Maybe this is something we can both work on while lucid to over come. I hope you are able to do the task. I loved riding the elevator. I also loved how I created the DCs so they could push the buttons for me and take me anywhere with out a though of where I wanted to go. This was the best lucid task I have completed by far :P
Take Care,

Hell I want to become lucid now. There is no way I would take any regular old elavator though. Next time i become lucid I hope that I will remember to try and go to willy wonkas chocolate factory and ride the wonkavator.
I managed it last night. It took me to the entrance to the Alice in Wonderland ride in Disneyland. I have no clue why it was quite weird.

I jumed away in huge leaps like I do sometimes in lucid dreams. I should just fly I though and sudenly I felt the lucidity flow over me.
I was in the middle of a jump and I started flying. Infact I couldn't keep myself from going upward. Normaly I have to keep myself in the air but this time I had to keep myself from being pulled upwards. I stabilized in the air and ran nearly flew into a house. I was now in a residential neighborhood some how. I flew up and looked for a building that might have an elevator. I should go find a store or buisness building but that might take a while. I noticed a akwardly tall and narrow white house. I landed and went in. It was deserted and sort of run down and there was no elevator.
I went out onto the streat and noticed a small structure next to the building across the streat. It was like a shed but really small and painted yellow like the house. I though I could turn that into an elevator. There was a lock on it but I waved my hand and it opened and fell off. I opened the door and went in. The inside was painted as if it had furnature and was in a house but everyting was just painted on and was completly empty. Weird. I said close and the door close. I said take me down and the floor started to lower. That counts as an elevator right? As it went down about 20 feet it started to get dark. I was afraid it would cause me to wake up but before that happened it came out and lowered into a fanciful room. I thought of a candy shop. My sister was there. Where the heck is this. She said the elevator took me to the entrance to the Alice in Wonderland ride at Dinseyland. WTF and then I woke up.
DreamingGhost and anderj101 congrats on your dreams. There have been a few changes around and that leaded to a delay, but you guys have your wings :)
Congrats!!!
I randomly remembered the advanced task! Gave it a go. :P

As we were travelling along the motorway, I pondered how I could actually make use of this lucid time. I remembered the task of the month then. It was a surprise that I recalled it, despite reading it once about half a month ago and deciding it was probably too hard. "Shrink yourself to the atomic level". An idea occured to me. Feeling the gearstick, I found that the top flipped open to reveal a red and a blue button. I assumed, naturally, that the red button was to transform the car into a rocket car, a la "Men in Black". The Blue, I reasoned, would be to shrink the car and its occupants. I pressed it once. The car shot forward and got a little bit smaller. But I stayed the same size. Now I had to bend over to avoid hitting my head off the roof. I pressed it a few more times, but all it did now was give the car a momentary speed boost.
I DID IT I DID IT!!!
I am in an amusment park. It all looks really run down. I notce the dream sign and do a reality check. I couldnt do a reality check by putting my my fingure through my hand. But i plugged my nose and i could breath. I asked the person next to me were the elevator was. I go into this building and there is a huge line to get into the elevator. But when it opened i ran in and shut the door. It took a while but it started moving. It went fast... And then even faster, i felt like i lost my stomache. I started to feel frightened and the CRASH... I woke up
Haha I didnt even look at the task this month and just last night had a dream I went into an elevator. I was at my design school where I study and I went into an elevator. It went way up high maby 50 stories. When it got to the top it only came half way up to the floor and I had to climb up. It was pretty dodgy. A few minutes later some friends came up too. I didnt really wana go back down it after that. I think I took the stairs haha
Good job my dear student. You are now winged!!! Congratulations.Quote:
