By the time I woke up I hadn't got a clue who I talked to or what was said D: I guess I'll have to try this again next time!

It is valid. You need to be lucid and you need to text someone. You are winged!

Oh wow, fantastic! I thought it was required to post the details on the forum before it was accepted, but thanks ^^

Now to try the advanced task - I don't know if that one will be so easy

10-14-10: Dark vs Light
NON-DREAM NON-LUCID SEMI -LUCID LUCID

As you can see, I have finally decided as what to use the above scale as the measurement of my lucidity. I won't be changing this anytime soon. Also, I will only post in this DJ for ToTM & ToTY dreams (as this one is). I already maintain a dream journal in the student workbooks, I don't feel it necessary to copy between my memory, my physical DJ, my DVDJ, and my SWDJ. I will use my Student Workbook as my primary online dream journal until the Shared Dreaming class is over.

I was at school, walking around the quad. People started to form a crowd behind me, and I wasn't sure why at the moment. Soon, half of the people I knew were with my inside the shaded cafeteria. It was around 8:00, a fog was blowing away, and the air was crisp and tense. Soon afterward, another group of people stepped in front of us. They were leaded by one of my nerdy friends, B. He looked ready to hurt something. My team was in kinda light clothes, while his were wearing dark clothes. I yelled "GO!" and a member of my team charged at a member of the other team in a race around some coned track. My 'team' was losing. I thought 'I know I have to have a short IM with someone, but why?' Whatever. (This was for ToTM but I forgot about it until later before I woke up) I got on the computer, entered a school chatroom, and everyone was discussing the race. I typed in "Crap! We're losing!!!!" I looked at the screen for a while then closed the laptop. I noticed one of my teammates was sleeping. I shook him and said "Get up! You're next! We're gonna LOSE!" He mumbled and got up.
[Dream Skip - Next Day]
All I remember is that I sat down with a few friends to discuss the race. The dream started to fade out, and I woke up.

There you go.

EDIT: I wasn't technically lucid though... Will this still count?

You need to be fully lucid

Sorry!

I had a lucid the other night and remembered the basic task. Found my computer on a table and deiced to go into the DV chat since I am not normally on it, but it DV would not let me log in another night after that I deiced to just text someone, so I pulled my phone out of my pocket only to get hung on the fact it was not my RL phone (I was only 40% lucid and losing the dream fast) I will just have to keep trying.

Shoot. It's okay, I'll try again.

I've completed the reaper task. I tried to post the link to my DJ but it won't let me (I'm under 7 days old). But it is in my DJ under the title: Reaper.

Oh, this is gonna be to good. i plan to beat Chuck Norris. after i kill him i'll watch the reaper in action!

First ToTM that I've completed!!

10-15-10: Basic Task of the Month

I was setting up booby traps to try and kill my friend Allan for some reason. He and Albert caught me, though, and asked what I was doing, they took aggressive stances in front of me. So I decided to act first since I was blown, I began punching them, when Allan overpowered me and held me facing him, I had a great idea and head butted him three times. He let go dazed and confused with a big red lump growing on his forehead, I ran across a field and into my house up to my room and thought if I can get in bed and pretend I'm sleeping I can play it off as if it wasn't me. It was really hard to get my clothes off and jump into bed - I had like three layers of everything on, and the items would get caught on my arms and legs. I finally got into my boxers and jumped into bed as I heard them storming up the stairs. I fell asleep and when I woke I found a booby trap set by Allan and disarmed it. I saw a flash of light outside my window and looked out it thinking a bomb had gone off but nothing was out of the ordinary. I do a reality check as usual when I get up and find I can breath through my nose and can't count my fingers. I get really excited and it seems like the dream is collapsing so I start touching walls and rubbing my hands until it stabilizes.

I'm not sure what to do when I see a phone on the bed and figure I'll do the ToTM. I have a Droid X but this phone was an iPhone, the interface is really complicated for some reason, it kind of looks like the start screen on the Nintendo DS, and it takes me a minute to find the messages. I open it up and see texts from Scott saying "around I, getting comics and to be store for early night." I have to read the message quite a few times because it's waving around and doesn't make a lot of sense, I say to myself each time I read it that I'm going to remember. I reply back saying "wtf are you talking about?" I see another text from someone I didn't recognize and it said "lol my texts are really screwed up and hard to read." There was a third person who had texted me but I can't remember what it said. I try to text them back but the screen has flashed to a different screen and I can't figure out how to get back so I put the phone down. I walk to my door when I see two flashes of light, I think that it could possibly be my eyes slightly open and I wake up.

I actually wake into a false awakening where I'm in the kitchen talking to my sister about the dream I just had, she says it's weird and cool and starts to pour some black colored cereal into a bowl when I really wake up.

Can't believe I actually did this one... too bad the soul they wanted wasn't one they could take.

Back to sleep.

I was in the dirt, and I was feeling cold this time… was wondering if my blankets were gone or something, but no, I was just missing clothes and my belongings, yes, that was totally understandable. Got up and started running in circles, trying to spot what I had lost, but there was nothing, apparently I felt dizzy earlier because I was hit or something… wait… what “earlier”? Did a RC at that point and became lucid.

Yes, as I become lucid, start feeling the energy from the necklace wavering, maybe I had used too much from it already and it needed to rest, it wasn’t a bad thing though, as I could feel my own energy going out and being much more abundant than before, not enough to even beat one of those artifact gods, but at least enough to explore.

Went towards a small warehouse that I saw not far from where I was, figured there would be some food and clothes in there, and that’s all I needed for now, I was also starting to create AOH all inside of me, and needed to replace my body quickly. When I arrived at the warehouse, found some quite nice clothes, in fact, they were too costly to be there, when I went over to get them, realized they were from dead people… yes, that was no good, but at least explained the clothing, I started eating the dead people and getting dressed, wondering who had killed them, considering there was no wounds that I could see.

As I was walking outside the house (Still munching on some human flesh) started performing the summoning spell for my teleportation, but failed, still needed more energy. After that found a reaper flying towards me, I found this amusing and dodged by moving to the left and avoid the swing “So that’s how they died?” I asked, the reaper didn’t answer me though, it was apparently angry at me for something, I couldn’t fight it back right now, had no powers, and so just started flying away.

As the escaping was going on I recalled the ex-quip power, also got reminded of the super strength, so maybe I could fight one of them! I started flying slower and slower, as if I was losing my energy, while going towards a random house, the reaper then tried to kill me with its weapon, so I ex-equip the reaper thingy I had before and cut this one in two “Ha, no way I will get beaten by just one of you!” as I said that, felt someone else coming from behind, ducked and then flew away, there were two other going at it, and while I was flying away, a third one appeared, this was bad… I was blocking and attacking them respectively, but still was unable to kill them, basically, a draw. One of them swung at me wildly and instead of hurting me, it just killed another person, I could see it harvesting the person while glaring at me, then jumping into the air to kill, I asked why they were pursuing me, expecting to hear something about the god artifacts “We won’t kill you, not the dream you” they said, I was shocked by this, so forced myself to stop and then went to attack them “We want to take the soul of the you who comes from waking, that way we will end the problem once and for all” is what they said, I got mad and killed two others with earth needles, then flew away to escape from them, this was really creepy and made me angry, didn’t need that right now.

Killing Chuck? Sorry, not even in your dreams!! If he punch you with his fist, even if it is a dreamed Chuck Norris, he will kill you for real! Even the Death himself fears Chuck! Why do you think the death has a dry body and a skull for a face? Before he looked like an Angel, his skin was white like the milk. When the Death tried to wipe Chuck's soul, his scythe vibrated so hard when it hit Chuck's skin, that the Death's skin turned into death flesh and disintegrated.

To the rest of the folks! Good job! You are winged!

I came close to accomplishing the Task of the Month last night, but didn't. I think the story is amusing, so I thought I'd share anyway.

In my dream, I'm standing on some rocks in the ocean, near the beach. I'm still lucid, so I think to myself, “Okay! Text-messaging! Task of the month!” I go to take my phone out of my pocket, but then think, “No, better not do that here – I don't want to get my phone wet.”

I woke up and was delighted to have had another lucid dream. While thinking back over it, I laughed out loud at that last part – I was concerned about my phone getting wet? It wasn't even my real phone! :-D Then again, I realized that that makes sense: my dream cell phone would have been just as damaged by dream water as my real one would be by real water. After all, that's what I expect will happen when cell phones get wet.

10.21:

Well, it's been a long ride, but I had my first intentional lucid dream. Per the usual, I'm going to put in red what was lucid, and blue what was non-lucid. Black will be non-dream stuff.

Going to bed, I repeated the mantra "I lucid dream." When my thoughts wandered, I would chant it louder in my head. During my trying to fall asleep, I could imagine daily things being effected by it (I see a scene from earlier play out, but instead of normal words, it added things like "I loudly dropped..." which followed the same first letter of my mantra. Somewhere in there, I fell asleep.
I am in an extremely dark house. People are all around, and for some reason, I feel a sense of urgency. I try to turn on lights, but they fail. My first thought is the lights are broken. Somewhere in the dream, I get the notion that it's a dream and try to RC. I try poking my finger through my hands, counting my fingers, but both worked flawlessly. Undaunted, I do the nose test, and it failed. This forces me to realize I am dreaming. Since it's dark, I conjure up a potion, for some reason, and drink it. Within seconds, the room brightens up. I drink another, and the room gets brighter. Eventually, the entire room is dark, but bright enough to make out details. I know the LD is extremely unstable, so I began to think of tasks to do. Yes, this was my first thought because I am goal-oriented. I ask a woman wondering around what are my tasks again, and I remember it's to talk to someone, so I ask her to tell me about lucid dreaming when I try to conjure a fireball for Nomad's class before the most recent one. She explains I need to wait to develop dream control and duration, but it'll come. I start to create the fireball in my hand, but while I feel the heat and hear the sparkling, I lose the visual. Begrudgingly, I wake up. I quickly jot down my dream, then I try to return to the dream, but instead, I have a non-lucid where I see a radio host willing to have his kidney removed for the sake of radio. Later, I am planning a trip to local colleges (day residue) to watch their graduations.

All in all, good night!

potions are cool

I was extremely focused on seeing to do my tasks, and somehow, that seemed most logical, lol.

How do I flag myself orange?

Come on guys!

One more week!!! When falling asleep, try to keep a static image of the Death in your mind. If your mind wanders away, go back to the static image of the Death. This will help out to success!

Good luck!

Oh I think I did the task! ^.^ I was barely lucid, but I hope it counts. Please tell me if it does!

I had just gotten onto my computer to talk to some friends on Google Talk. Now, my chat list had around... eh... close to 100 people to chat with, although IRL I have don't have even ten people to talk to. Anyway, there were LOADS of chats on my screen, and it was layered. Like if I closed one, another would be in its place. I remember I sent out a few messages and probably got a few, too. It was chaos, and eventually I woke up. I had also just gotten back from Mars in that dream before it happened! ^.^

Were you lucid from the beginning of the dream? (Or the chat)

Completed the easy task!

I am sitting at the kitchen table doing physics homework. I see my dog barking, and it is chasing a mouse. "Oh not again," I think to myself. The mouse heads for the door as if it knew what it should do, and crawled underneath it. I stand up trying to find something to throw at it while thinking that I used a tennis ball last time (in the dream it was a regular occurrence to see mice). I look underneath the table and there are two tennis balls. I pick them up, and look for the mouse. It crawled by the wall, and I throw the first one and hit its tail. I grab the second ball and throw it at the mouse as it heads towards the table. I hit it dead on, and it flipped over. I picked it up between my index finger and thumb, and the mouse regained consciousness, except it had somehow shrunk down to about an inch long. It started squeaking and bit my thumb, but it didn't hurt. I got distracted by the dog knocking over its water bowl, and the mouse had managed to squeeze out of my fingers. It hit the ground and ran behind the refrigerator, reappearing on the other side as a bigger mouse. I said, "That's it," and grabbed a dish towel near me. I started chasing it while smacking it with the towel, wondering why I hadn't used a towel in the first place. I made contact with the mouse the first time, and it flew at the door as I made contact with it. It started crawling up the door, and I thought to myself, "Mice can walk up walls!?" So I ran to the door and gave the mouse a good solid whack, and it fell to the floor. Then my dead cat ran into the kitchen and grabbed it. Seconds later, I looked down at the floor and there are two dead mice that are bleeding with teeth marks in them. I thought, "There was only one mouse, I must be dreaming!" Surely, I did a reality check and I was dreaming. I want to go outside, and the nearest way out is a window. I think "Should I shatter it?" but change my mind and decide to pass through it unharmed. When I made contact with the glass, it seemed to split open fluidly, and seemed to suck me through to the outside world. It was either dawn or dusk, and the sky was a dark purple color. I do some stabilization techniques, while thinking, "What will they do, I already have as much detail as real life?" I rub my hands and nothing happens, I'm already fully conscious and stabilizing seems pointless. I remember some people said to shout things. I couldn't remember what to shout and it came out as, "Clarity! Dream Clarity!" it doesn't seem to make anything change. I want some light, so I try to move the sun up. I close my eyes and imagine it coming up over the horizon. I point a little below the earth, and exhale while moving my finger slowly up. The sun moved along with my finger and lit up the world. Then I wake up, and I look to my window and see outside. I know this isn't a dream, since I have such accurate results on the weather. I sigh, and do a reality check just because. "Oh my goodness, I'm dreaming!" I shout as the reality check fails. Then the dream shifted around me and I'm in an office building. There are three people here: a young blond man, an old woman wearing a pink knitted sweater, and her husband who was constantly griping and needed a shave. I somehow knew that one time the young man got fed up with the old people and blew up the building, and this is a second chance for me to change what happened in the past. From here the dream goes on for quite a while, and many things happen that I do not remember clearly. I get a little wrapped up in the storyline, and I lose lucidity. Suddenly, at some point along this, I remember "Oh I gotta refocus on things, this is a dream." and I start thinking of what to do. "Task of the Month!" I remind myself. I get excited, and feel quite proud of myself that I remembered it. I sit down at one of the office desks, and turn on the computer. The screen is blank, so I keep typing random things. The desktop appeared, and I clicked Mozilla Firefox. I go to the top and type in "Drea" trying to get to dreamviews, and it shows up in the history and I click on it. I see the forums page of dreamviews, and click on chat. I automatically enter the chatroom, and I say, "Hello?" No response for quite a while. I figure that it's not working, so I reach into my pocket and pull out my cellphone. I unlock it, and go to text messages. A blank conversation is already open with someone I cannot remember, but it didn't matter. I typed, "Is there something you want me to know?" and pressed send. I didn't get a reply for a while, then they suddenly replied, "Yes, you can do it all." I smile, and then the dream starts to reattach itself to the storyline. A man pulls up with a truck full of gas, and I know it's going to explode. The man gets out and throws himself against the window, committing suicide. Then the truck somehow catches on fire, but no one notices. The old woman calls her husband, and she just keeps saying to the phone, "I love you, Fred. I love you, Fred." And he shouts back into the phone, "Oh, shut up, Donna!" I think this is horrible, since they're about to die and they hate each other. I walk away down a hallway, and the dream loses focus and I wake up.

A little late in the month, but I'm proud of myself for achieving it on my fifth lucid!

It's been 36 hours that I've been deprived of my wings

BUMP

It's so late in the month, 36 hours lasts a long time when I only get them for like a week.

Indeed, a silly grammar mistake caused by not proofreading! I fixed it and erased your post due being off topic!

Snowboy and Zelgius: You are winged!!! Good job!!!! I want to the DEATH dreams!!!!!!!!!!! Come on!!!!!!!!

Completed! =D Pretty late in the month, I didn't even consciously want to do it since it was so late in the month, but, well you'll see =D

Dream Lucid

It was Thanksgiving day and I wanted to go smoke some weed before eating. I head out and meetup with some friends. I notice that I'm at the LA coliseum. Two joints were being lit and I was able to puff on one of them. A DC is bragging about how the weed he rolled into his was purple. He handed me his joint and let me spark it. I walked into the little tunnel thingy they have there to block the wind. I took the lighter and held the red flame to the end and sucked. It didn't light, at all. I though this was a bit odd so I pinched my nose, I could breathe through it. I tried lighting it again and it worked this time. Knowing that I was dreaming I smoked half the joint in one puff. The cloud of smoke that came out was amazing! I then started to think if I should do the task of the month or not, since it's near the end. Then I noticed my phone vibrated(I guess just thinking of maybe doing it just caused my dream to do it). I took it out and saw my sister texted me asking when I would be home. I replied asking her when dinner would be ready. She said in a few hours, then went on about how some guy came over to the house to look for something. Still being in the tunnel, I walked out into the coliseum and it was FILLED with people (I had been here for the Electric Daisy Carnival) music was blasting and people were just everywhere dancing. I just stood there enjoying the music and how it sounded so good! Then I woke up.

I am working on increasing lucidity so I can do the advanced one this month. I am hopeful.
