Lucid Task For The Month Of June 2005

**Seeker** · 06-01-2005 06:31 PM

Introduction:
This came about as the result of a discussion in chat. Every month, I'll post a task for everyone that is interested to try to accomplish while lucid dreaming. Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task, your efforts should make interesting reading!

Whoever completes the task gets a custom title until the end of the month. (Note, if you are staff, I cannot give you a custom title, it would override your staff title)

Those that complete the task have the right to add this GIF to their signatures when this month has ended.

Task for this month:

Ask a Dream Character; "Who Am I?"

Be sure to come back here and report what happened.

Yay Seeker!

That's propably the best lucid task idea ever.

I'll definitely give it a go the next time I get lucid.

**Barbizzle** · 06-01-2005 07:23 PM

Oh yes htis osunds easy to do

hehe I cnat wait.

**Alex D** · 06-01-2005 07:50 PM

Just to clarify, does the DC have to be human, for example, could we ask the moon or a tree? You could get some really interesting answers that way.

**nesgirl119** · 06-01-2005 08:20 PM

What do you mean by that? Like I should ask the DC that, & just have them say my name & that I am a Video Game Expert....or something more?

Just ask them "Who Am I?" Those three words only.

That's it? That is easy enough for me....b/c I did that alot when I was little, & I asked them who I was in a RPG...

Does it count if you did that early this morning?

**Kastro187420** · 06-02-2005 07:41 AM

This will be my first Task that i have done, sounds easy enough, i'll give it a go and see what happens.

**existenceisadream** · 06-02-2005 08:59 AM

I normally ask DC who they are and they tell me there name and other stuff. I never really thought about asking a DC who I am but sounds interesting so I'll try to remember to do it. I'm working on my own experiments right now while lucid but I'll try to remember to throw that question in somewhere.

**Placebo** · 06-02-2005 11:34 AM

Sounds good

I like these brain picking LD ideas ... hehe..

**Clairity** · 06-02-2005 02:38 PM

Success (and I wasn't even trying)!

This LD caught me by surprise as I hadn't even thought about LDing when I went to bed last night.

I "sensed" that something was different and decided to do a reality check. I decided not to do the nose pinch as I was too tired and thought it was too much effort to pinch my nose. I then decided to look at my watch which meant raising my watch to my eyes and then finding the little knob on the side in the dark with my other hand, pressing it and then waiting for the light to come on so I could read the time (oh yeah.. this was MUCH less effort).

I kept pushing on my watch and it wouldn't light up which meant I was dreaming! The quality of the lucid was pretty crappy.. it wasn't very bright nor vivid.. but an LD is an LD is an LD.

I remember the lucid task for the month and I find myself in a neighborhood (I'm sensing a recurring LD theme here) and I see people (DCs) walking on sidewalks on both sides of the street.

I walk up to one and ask "Who am I?" He looks blankly at me and keeps walking.

I jog to the next one and he doesn't answer me either and keeps walking. WTF

!! Any other time, my DCs talk to me with no problem!!

I run to another.. same response. By now, I'm probably looking pretty pathetic!

I race to the next DC and ask "Who am I??". He looks me right in my face and says "Who do you think you are?"

Ok.. I wasn't expecting that.. and as I stand there looking stupid, he too walks away.

I can't remember what happened after that as I slid into some non-consequential non-lucid dream about being at an outside party, a devastating storm hitting, losing radio contact with a boat and everyone dying.

You know.. now that I write this, my LD reminded me of a video game! You know where you're the hero/main character and, when you run up to game characters and get in front of them, they are supposed to tell you clues about the game. Well I sure wouldn't have gotten past Level 1!!

**nesgirl119** · 06-02-2005 04:20 PM

And I just did it 3x! One early yesterday morning, one in the late yesterday afternoon, & one last night! To see for yourself: http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic....p=174583#174583. The Dreamin' of Gamin' goal though is to beat my record & do this 5x!!

Congrats! I knew you had it in you!!

**Seeker** · 06-02-2005 07:49 PM

Splash?? So come on, give us some details. What did your dream character tell you? what did he do?

That is what makes this fun, sharing the experience with everyone else

**luckegrlGC** · 06-02-2005 09:17 PM

Hey, my comouter just started working. Seeing this, i remember, i did this a while ago.
Then i went on to ask the others, where am i, how'd i get here, and if they had a clue why i was there. It was, in fact, the beggining of my new chain of lucids, whihc began sometime in mid january.
I wasn't me, because i never am me in my dreams. I'm always someone else. but they said, they didn't know either. But if i was going to the human world, i should have used a better disguise. Turns out, i was a demon and in all my lucids, i have been since. And it all looks like an anime, and goes in a row telling a story. Why live one boring life when you can have two interesting intertwined ones? At least, that's the way i look at it!

Look in her DJ.....I was lucky to get her to post in here! The link is in her post! Aren't you just happy for her..
BTW, she gave me details b/c I was right next to her. She told me that she told inuyasha that, & a few other characters she asked that, too!

**YULAW** · 06-02-2005 10:00 PM

I presented this question to a DC about 3yrs ago and haven't done it since.

I was in my old neighborhood where I grew up and no one looked familiar but for some reason everyone that was in my view of focuse I felt like I knew them. So I asked who was I guess a friend in my dream named Amber? But I didn't ask her who am I? I asked her does she know who I am? and She said. "WHY? WHY?" very Loud and started crying saying that she didn't want to Die. I asked her what does she mean? She said If I tell you that then Im going to Die! I asked how do you know? And she ran away, crying and ran into her house I flew behind her and when she closed the door I ran into it because for some odd reason I couldn't stop I was trying to stop and I heard this screeeching noise Like a car? which was hilarious to me once I had awaken. I willed the door open and the door was hot. I could feel like heat on my hands and I wasn't touching the door. and when the door opened she was in a blaze of fire saying I told you I was going to DIE! Look what you have done to me! and started running toward me screaming like Aaahhhhhhhhh!!!! and she was reaching out to grab me and I woke myself up. As I sat up and pondered on that dream I realized that earlier that afternoon I was playing GTA
and I was using the Blow Torch to set people on fire in the game.. I guess that lingered over to my dream. Well I haven't done that since...

**ravenqueen** · 06-03-2005 05:21 AM

Wow I did this task and I'm not sure I'm done. I'm married and now feeling a little uneasy. I went into LD asking this question and I saw an ex from when I was 16. I was so in love with him in my dream. I in truth dumped him like a piece of poop. He was the first time
i ever felt love. I'm married now and in this task it is making me wonder what love is. And I am so confused how I can feel love for someone else from 11 years ago. At that it is an "in love " feeling. Grr.. what has this task done to me.

**Ales** · 06-03-2005 09:10 AM

Hey!

Managed to remember the task this morning...

I found this girl in my dreams. I asked her if she could tell me something... She said she couldn' t . I asked again - same reply. Then I asked her really nice as I sat beside her on the bench and looked in her eyes: " Who am I?". And she replies " You are a workers' leader". I said: " But I don't have any communication skills?" She raplied : "Yes you do...". Then I woke up...

Well, I don't exactly know what it means, but I guess I accomplished the task...

ALES

**Seeker** · 06-03-2005 01:19 PM

OK, I guess I am giving credit for completing this task in the past and will continue to do so. Only condition is you must share your experience. No credit for the "Oh yeah, I did that one time" posts

This is freaky stuff, it is amazing how DCs act when you confront them with such a simple, but direct question. Please tell your DV friends to check out this topic and give it a try. This have been a very successful task considering it's only been published 2 days now!

**Merck** · 06-03-2005 01:26 PM

It seems like most people would have to beat a decent answer out of the dream characters. Like they just give you these really vague answers or no answer at all. I guess since they are part of your subconscious they don't know any more that the you do.

**Gothlark** · 06-03-2005 07:59 PM

I tried this out last night, and the DC responded with something to the effect of, "You are life, you are the hominid, you are modern man, and you are far more. You are beyond it and yet a part of it. You aren't so much man as you are Aesir." Seems like an interesting response to me.

**dreamtamer007** · 06-03-2005 10:09 PM

Well Thanks for the easy task. Now if I can just have a LD.

P.S. That sounds like a wise DC Clairity
