Thread: Task of the month for May 2011

Complete!

I moved an orange back to my hand after I threw it at the wall.

The dream started in space, then I saw the moon orbiting the Earth and watched as it slowly exploded with the Earth.

I completed the basic task last week and only just now got around to posting it. I cut down the entry a lot because there were a bunch of irrelevant non lucids before it.

May 2011 Basic Task (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In the next dream I am sitting on a large pillow on the floor of the living room in a friends house. It is very early in the morning and still a little dark. I'm sitting in front of the tv playing a PS3. I was using it to browse the internet but it wasn't working quite right. I was getting a little frustrated when brandon and austin walk out a back room. I'm surprised that they are up that early. We briefly exchange words and some behind me starts talking. I turn around and see that gordon is sitting on a couch behind me. "how long have you been sitting there?" I asked. I don't remember if he said anything. There was a scene change and we were now all at my house.

Something felt very off to me so I decided to see if I could phase through the back door. I did and was now outside standing on the rug near the steps. Obviously this was a dream and a very unstable one at that. My vision was all blurry and messed up. To stabilize it I did something rather new. I don't even know why I did this other than that I just felt i should. I sat down in mid air and crossed my legs. Then I closed my eyes and totally relaxed. In a few moments the dream was stable and my vision returned. I got up and was standing on the ground again. First thing I did was take off all the winter gear that I had on. I took off my hat and glove and tossed them on the ground near the garage. I unzipped the heavy coat I had on but didn't take it off. I thought about taking off my boots, but I felt like I was wasting time so I left them as they were. My friends walked out of the house and I set off down the driveway.

Without turning around I asked them where they wanted to go. I was excited and said "we can do anything!" I was thinking about how I'd create a portal when I noticed that one of my friends had stopped moving. I turned around and saw that gordon was still standing on the cement. He squatted down like he was performing a deep squat, had his head between his knees, and his fists clenched. He looked like he was exerting a lot of effort. All of a sudden he launched into the air at an awesome speed. In the blink of an eye he had climbed so high that I couldn't see him anymore. That was the coolest thing I had seen in a long time. I was all fired up and wanted to fly now. With clear intent in mind I jumped up in the air and wanted to take off just like he did. I got about six feet off the ground before I arced over and slammed into the gravel drive way. I got up and felt a little embarrassed. I wanted to do something cool for my friends. At the same time I looked at the road a while car came from the direction of west water. I stretched out my right hand and grabbed the car with telekinesis. The car kept its momentum as I lifted it off the ground. I gave it a little nudge and it went flying back over front. It flipped over several times before landing in my yard next to the drive way. I noticed a little bit of damage on the drivers side, but was a little disappointed. There should have been a ton more than there was. It was still a spectacular crash though.

After that I walked out onto the street and walked down the road a little ways. Moments later there was a car speeding up behind me. I jumped high into the air and spun around. I almost laughed when I saw that it was gordon driving a red sports car. He's lucky I decided to look first. I was about annihilate the car with a blast of telekinesis. Then I landed back on the ground and started walking in the direction of charmwood. As I rounded the curve in the road I found the area to be quite different. The road went down on an angle and ended in what looked like a newly tilled farm field. I walked down into the dirt and walked by a on old fashioned red tractor. There was a small patch of corn that I went over to. I walked behind it and lost lucidity.

I had this stupid false memory that this corn patch had always been in the basement of gordon's house. I went upstairs, but can't remember much of what happened. The only thing that I can recall clearly is what happened at the end. We were all outside in gordon's driveway in a school bus. I was driving the bus for whatever reason and we were going to go somewhere. I was about to back up when another bus pulled in and almost hit me. I slammed on the brakes and pulled back up. The drive way was much wider than it was in real life and I was able to turn around. I was now facing the road which was a wide multi lane road in with a lot of building on either side. As I pulled out onto the road the dream faded. end

Still haven't gotten the psychokinesis down yet... I had a lucid last night but it was my first one in a while, so I spent it doing other stuff. Darn!

Ah i did the easy task last night. though i hadnt read this months goal yet (i always forget about them grrr) but in my dream. i was running with some people and just stopped and was like uh. im dreamingso as usual i went on my mission to find my DG. then i asked a DC to take me to my DG. she took me too these two DCS who were jus tmaking fun of me.laughing that i couldnt find my DG. soo i used my mind to pick up an ashtray in front of them and hit them with it. then i continued to throw stuff at them untill a DC picked me up and removed me from the room LOL.

I was in between a war with the Indians(from India) and rebels. What were they fighting about? Who knows. Basically, the Rebels helped me get into this huge palace where a party was going on. I was looking for my 2 friends Bahia and Jesenia. I wanted to help them leave. I was standing on a balcony looking for them for a while, when I spotted a group of women wearing red "Hajbs" as they are called, the head wrap thing. I walked over and yes, there they were. I told them that we needed to leave, and they said to make it less suspicious they needed to do the chores. The chores were to get all this ice that was in a pile on the ground into an ice box. I said I could do this, and I used my fingers on my right hand to basically act as a wand and do psychokinesis to take a rake and a shovel to pick up the ice. A steward came over and said "The ice doesn't taste as good when you do that." So we picked it up with our hands and did it manually. Then, a person came over and gave Jesenia some electronic parts and said "The radio will work tonight! The radio will work tonight!" She put those pieces into a circuit board and there were the rebel leaders talking. It was too loud, they were worried that others would hear, so we unplugged it and I woke up.

I've been really out of it recently, but everything should be set now

After a long, terrible dry spell, I am blessed with a lucid in which I was able to accomplish the basic task of the month. Here is a link to the DJ entry.

...and the relevant paragraph:
I look back at the safe and remember the basic task of the month. I stare at the safe and attempt to move it with my mind. Instead of moving the safe, I develop x-ray vision which allows me to see that there is a gun inside the safe. I look at it again, and after struggling for a moment, the safe elevates from the pile of debris. I lift the safe all the way up to the ceiling using psychokinesis and then smash it against the wall to break it open. The safe smashes apart and the gun slides across the floor. I look back at the other DC, who is standing there completely dumbfounded. He looks at me with a really strange look, then walks over and picks up the gun with an evidence bag.

So....I was chatting with a friend about Lucid dreaming and I decided to research a little more about it. I found this website and was reading this thread. Earlier today I had a dream where I successfully completed both tasks! While I was in my dream, I could only remember the harder of the two, which was making the sun crash into the moon. The story goes a little like this:

From what I can recall, I was in a hospital. All of a sudden I remembered the tasks from this thread and was trying to get outside asap. My first problem arose when I realized it was night time so there was no sun around. There was just the moon. I used my 'abilities' and the sun started moving up to the moon and the only thing that really happened is the sun just splashed all over the moon like it was paint so the moon turned an orangish color. As I previously stated, I forgot about the first task, but I did complete both at once since I did move the sun with telekinesis. It was fun and thanks for the experience.


Edit: Yeah, see, I wasn't paying to much attention because it's crashing the moon with earth, haha. I think making the sun crash into the moon is harder due to the fact of you having to summon one or the other.

You guys come up with sick dream goals.

I finally completed both tasks on the 25th May.
The DJ entry is here: Journey to the Moon on a Levitating Dog [TotM] - Dream Journals - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource

Excerpts:

I turned around and saw a golden retriever standing in the hallway, so I pointed my hand towards the dog and made it levitate for the basic task.

I sped up into the sky, but I realised that I must have been coming from another planet, because I was flying towards the moon and I could see Earth in the distance.
I thought this was perfect, because I could crash into the moon and continue pushing it to Earth.
I landed on the moon at an incredible speed (still on the dog) and the moon began to fly towards Earth.
We passed through some weird alien cities in the middle of the sky.
We flew through the clouds and saw a mossy green temple surrounded by skulls and the heads of plastic toys held up with sticks.
We continued towards Earth until the moon finally crashed, and I found myself being sucked into a wormhole to a different dimension.
There was a swimming pool and lots of winding tunnels where people were lining up to enter the next dimension. Each person had a twin, or a clone, from another life standing next to them. Some had multiple clones and they were asking for their bodies to all be combined for the next life.

Here is the first totm I have ever done.

I am talking to ShockWave over IRC. I lay down and fall asleep. Then I have a false awakening. I am watching a TV show about terrorists blowing up trains. The view keeps switching between a camera man in a cave and trains blowing up. I hear someone talking about the train terrorists. Saying things like "where will they strike next?"

My view is back in the cave. I see a helicopter flying in the cave. I think that it will hit the roof and explode. It does explode and I realize I am the camera man. I jump down from where I am. I notice there is not a very strong pull of gravity and become lucid.

I am instantly teleported into a small room. It is full of junk. I struggle to think of things to do. I try to do the basic task of the month. I look at a cup and try to lift it with my mind. I end up just shaking it. I tell myself I need to calm down. I rub my hands and take deep breaths.

I decide to teleport but I am not sure how I should do it. I spin around and end up outside of my house. I am starting to lose lucidity at this point. I am having trouble controlling the dream. Again I am at a loss for things to do.

I fly around with jet boots and land on a roof. Some people start talking to me. They may have been salesmen. I suddenly see text appear in front of me from ShockWave. He is wondering where I went.

At this point I have lost lucidity. I think ShockWave is really talking to me so I wake myself up. I end up in the same dream scene as before.

Oh yay, I did the basic task last night and didn't even know i did.

Lucid in my Living Room - Dream Journals - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource

There is one of those green plant sponges on the table in front of us. I point my finger at it and flick. The sponge floats upword into the air. I flick again and it shoots across the room. I curl my finger and It comes back to me and lands in my hand. I am excited and look over at rusty. He is still watching tv. I try to talk but I can't. I mumble in my head that I am dreaming, that this is a dream and on my third try I am able to say to him. R, this is a dream right now, I am dreaming.

I also completed the basic task! I bended a metalplate and let a bowl of cornflakes fly to me by will.
DJ Entry: Telekinesis - Dream Journals - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource

...I told him to just watch. I raised my arm towards a metal plate and forced it to bend. They looked really surprised. I stood up, i wanted to try further things. there was a radio, i wanted to lift it. I raised my arm towards it and wanted to levitate it. It didn't work, but it's leds gone on and off very weird. I attempted again, but this time i tried to get a bowl with cornflakes without walking over to it. I raised my arm towards it and imagined a extension with which i could easily let it hover around. i finally grabbed it and threw it away. Yeah! i've made it!

I had no idea this was the ToTM, but I did the basic tasks a few weeks back. I don't know why I felt like being so evil in this one.

11/5 - I'm a super... villain?
The dream before was about Entropia Universe, a game in which you can collect ore in by mining. This dream is just forming around me and I'm inside of a computer shop. My friend Eric walks in. "Hey Eric! Check it out, I'm not in the dream yet" I say and the second later after taking a step through the alarm beams:

"But now I am!" I have just done some kind of Dream WILD again. Monica is there with me and she is going to mine some ore. I need to find her an orefinder. It looks just like a laptop, only it's green. I know I won't find one there and I don't intend to waste time walking around trying to find one. I grab a regular laptop. "This will do" I tell her and walk towards the alarm beams again. I see a few people holding computer screens and other laptops. Damn thieves! Apparently we're not out of the store yet, and I walk up to one of the big glass windows. I break it with telekinesis and an enormous CD disc falls down from the roof. I grab it with my right hand using telekinesis.

"Now it begins" I say and laugh out loud. I leave the store and head left. We're in a shopping mall and standing in the middle of the main walkway going through it. People are running from something on the right, and to the left is different shops with stands outside of them. I reach out violently with both hands and the stands furthest away explode in a cascade of glass and debris. The huge CD shoots away from me and cuts most of the people in its way in half.

I make a clawing motion with my hands and bring back my arms, the rest of the stands gets completely demolished and the disc comes zooming back. Everyone has been cut in half, not a sound escapes anyone, all I can hear is glass shattering. Monica is right behind me, her powers are meant for something else. We're some kind of super villains I guess. We take a right after a few meters.

There's not much to destroy here, but I spot an escalator and I reach out with my hand. With a single squeeze I leave the escalator deformed out of repair, and glass everywhere. A dead end, another window to break. I break it and realise this window leads out of the building. I bring the disc to our feet and we get on. I make it fly and Monica starts sending text messages. We fly over the front of the building; a roundabout with a few flags in the middle of it, and lots of people entering the mall. Some look up at us while we fly over their heads.

A forest appears and I decide to fly low to keep the dream stable. If I don't focus on anything I will lose it. Monica keeps texting and I'm a bit annoyed. I avoid as many trees as possible but soon the dream starts to fade.

It might be too late, but here:

Skiing and Lucid Dreaming - Dream Journals - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource

I was walking around for a while, waiting for the next race to start, when I suddenly became lucid, for no reason at all. But as soon as I became lucid, I continued the storyline, but stayed lucid.

Suddenly, we heard an announcement that the next race is starting. This is a disaster! We don't even have our gear!

3 of the guys on my team run to where we put our ski gear, and got outside for the race. My friend Tommy was already outside, but he didn't have his skis. Crap! He is the best on our team! I picked up my skis and his, but I dropped one of his, so I telepathically lift the ski into my hand.

Awesome

I got it, but it was less exiting then I hoped.

Well done everyone.
