      Hah, just realised that I get two birds with one stone, because one of my goals is to travel to the moon.

      Finally got the damn camera thing done (actually I did it a week ago but haven't had time to write it down). Here's the dream:

      I am outside our house. I go for a walk. While I'm walking I look at the stars. I see some big galaxies. I realise that you can't see galaxies with bare eye, so I must be lucid. This time I'll get the 1900s task done. As teleporting has ruined my earlier attempts at the task, I simply decide I am in the 1900s. The street lights and the houses turn to look like ones from the beginning of the 20th century. I go into one of the houses. The house is very narrow and has 2 or 3 floors. I go to the bedroom. There is a woman there. A box appears into my hand. It has a button on the top. I take a picture of the woman sitting in the bed. The image is black-and-white. If I remember right, the woman had a black shirt and a curly blond hair. There was also another woman in the room but I don't remember anything about her.

      Time to research the fashions from each time. ^__^
      If I'm going back in time, I need to be dressed appropriately. :3

      Sweet, only 10 tasks and a full year to do them !
      In two weeks I'll be beating my wings...
      ...and that's not a promise, it's a fact.

      EDIT : I'm going to WILD right now, and hopefuly, I will recover the time lost. Wish me luck guys, I'll post here and in my DJ the result!
      Good luck everyone!

      EDIT 2: WILD failed, but I still got lucidity because I entered the dream too early.. actually did the Trinity task, and here's the extract about it in my DJ:

      So, I've just taken up ToTY, but since I joined late, I had to move faster than ever. That's why I love WILD, which will allow me to LD more than 1 time a day...
      ...now, let's begin with the dream.
      As I enter the dream, even if I WILDed, I didn't realise it was a dream. I was just floating around in a void... until the dream started to form around me, causing lucidity. While I was gazing at the colors and shapes, there it is. My dream, formed.
      The shapes around me seem futuristic, and my immediate thought is just to to fly. As I was looking around, I see a nuclear power plant, which makes me remember ToTY...
      That means one thing. PORTAL TIME! While in the portal, I can see the dream reforming, and finally, I reach my destination. The nuclear test zone. I immediately thought to ask them to drop the bomb so I could get under it, but they've got ahead of me. The nuclear device was falling, and I couldn't be happier about it...
      The next second, the atomic bomb hit me.. I felt a slight tingle, then a force, a kind of air pressure, pushing me down.. I was able to stand up, but hardly. Fortunately, in 5 seconds it stopped, and everywhere was just white. After 10 second, some gray , and they actually throwed another bomb on top of me, confusing me even more... I began to hear a faint BEEEP which got louder and louder until I woke up, because of my alarm... Sadly, this wasn't a WILD, but at least I did one of the ToTY taks...
      I'll try in my next posts the Titanic one, so take care!
      EDIT 3: Another MILD about WTC! A ToTY task well done...
      By the way, after waking up I had a morning MILD which worked out fine! Ill put it here in 1 hour, after I finish writing it from my phone.

      Yesterday, as I was quite energetic because of a WILD in the morning, I decided to try a MILD, which actually worked. I managed to finish another ToTY task, and I'll be flapping my wings in 1 week, that's a bet with one of my friends...

      So, getting back to my dream. After repeating the mantra for 15min, I managed to pull an insta-lucid, without having to RC. After a bit of looking around a room I "spawned" in, I looked at a wall, then said "This hotel room from WTC is really nice". I think most of you got what happened... passive control. After this, I got out of the room, and headed to the elevator... in which I had a surprise. It seems that in dreams elevators don't work like they should, resulting in a lucid dreamer being put on a random floor...
      I got a little bit revengeful, and, after throwing a fireball at the elevator and exploding it off the building, I just tried a little trick I heard about in DV...
      ...And learned that it's easy to turn into a human fireball and going straight through the building until the roof. I walked slowly on the building, and as I was about to jump, someone stopped me.
      "No! Don't end your life!"...
      ...I also learned I can rip the head of a DC using telekinesis. Sweet.
      I finally jumped, going right through the clouds... I could literally feel the rain drop on my skin. When I was close to the ground, I turned into a fireball, and landed... safely.
      After stabilizing the dream, I began to form an big fireball, which I shot at the towers... it almost destroyed them completely, but the remaining parts were used to crush other buildings, with telekinesis..
      After a while some marines(may be a DS) appeared and start shooting. This reminded me of the dino dream, and one little tought was enough for 6 tentacles to spring out of my body. I could control them, but I could also let them act for themselves, and that's what I did.
      After some good ol' fun I decided to leave, so I could remember my dream...
      and thats what I did.
      After about 30 min, I decided to try my luck at a morning MILD, which I will detail in my next post, which will come in about 1 hour.
      Stay tuned!

      Complete these tasks in your lucid's, and dream journal them. Post the relevant bit that completed the task here, and link your dj post in your comment. Repeat previous task till all tasks are done, then proceed to go to control panel, join groups, and request to join the task of the year one.
      Please feel free to check out my DEILD guide: http://bit.ly/2DOqiyT

      Brownie Camera:
      Looking around, see that the sky is purple, decide this is a dream. I'm right, of course. I figure I should try doing the Task Of The Year, I skipped over it last year.

      To add a little challenge, I'd try to do them all in chronological order. The first one was The Brownie Camera thing, If I'm not wrong.

      Travel to the year 1900. Head to Boston because... why not? I look around for a Brownie Camera. I land in the middle of the street, and ask some guy where I can find a Brownie Camera. "That guy looks like he's got one." I look where he's pointing, and there was a guy with what looked like a box with a tube sticking out of it. I don't know if that's what the Brownie Camera really looked like, but the description never said it had to look like the actual Brownie. I walked up and took it from the guy, something he didn't really appreciate. "Hey! I just bought that!" "Your point being?" "You can't just walk up and steal something from somebody!" "Well I just did it." I put the camera back in his hands, and took it again. "And I just did it again, what are you going to do?" He got mad, and tried to attack me. I threw the camera into the air, ripped the man's eyes out and shoved them down his throat. I caught the camera as it came back down. I decided to document my awesome achievement, and took the photo with the camera. The picture was developed a little while later. It was grainy, and really hard to see what was in it. I traveled back to the present time, and went to my house in the woods. I framed the picture, and set it out in the living room.
      Titanic:
      I don't normally dream twice in one night, but doing the ToTY demanded I do it. Next was the Titanic.

      Looking around, realized I have no idea what I'm doing in the middle of a desert, do an RC. Remembered I had to work on ToTY.

      Traveled back to 1912, in front of the docks where the Titanic would be shipping off. I didn't feel like fighting just yet, so I conjured a ticket to fool the sailors. A nice relaxing boat ride ending in tragedy would be just what I needed for some R&R.

      Using time dilation, I managed to keep myself there for the full five days. The first two days, I didn't do too much. I played some chess, wined and dined with a few uppercrust socialites, and spent some lazy time up on deck.

      The third day was pretty interesting, got into a few fights when drunk sailors decided I looked like I could be picked on. Didn't feel like causing too much trouble, so I beat the shit out of them and tossed them overboard while no one was looking.

      The fourth day I spent mostly in my cabin (I had thrown someone overboard one the first day so I'd have a place to chill). Let's just say I may have a few more children. And that women will be really experimental on a boat.

      The fifth day. The day of the wreck. I waited for what seemed like hours until night fell. I had told a few people that we were going to hit an iceberg, but no one believed me. The ones who called me a fool met with... unfortunate accidents. I finally saw the iceberg ahead, and watched as the giant ship lumbered toward its fate. People were freaking out, screaming and shouting. It was rather annoying. I decided I'd experience this from the ship, so I pulled up a deck chair and sat while it all happened around me. People were shouting at me now, wondering why I wouldn't leave. "I'm here to watch this historic moment. Besides, if I didn't, I would fail at my attempt for the Task of the Year, wouldn't I?" They didn't know what I was saying of course, but it felt good to say it. When the ship hit the iceberg, all hell broke loose. The details are sketchy, even to me, so I won't try to recant most of them. but the ship went down like everyone thinks it did. I gave one last look out to all the people in lifeboats. "What a bunch of pansies." I thought. I sank with the ship, and floated for a few minutes before deciding it was time to wake up.
      If I keep like this, I'll be the second one to complete the tasks!

      After a dryspell for a week or two I finally had another lucid and finished the television one. 8 down, 2 to go

      Getting a little frustrated I just yelled at the t.v. "Just show me a damn show!" I waited a second and after a brief moment the screen started to flicker. On the screen a group of people started to form with what looked like big blocks of wood in from of them. After another few seconds I saw that is was a band! A stereotypical big band from the 1920s and 1930s. There was about 20 of them in total and on the front of their music stands I saw a circle with some sort of letters around it and a clarinet lilted to the side in the middle.

      The entire broadcast was in black and white and thus the room changed accordingly. The conductor up in from raised his hands and all the musicians raised their instruments. I started to waive his hands and all the players took a big breath. I could tell they were playing some sort of music but, this being the first t.v, there was no sound. What's the point of a concer on t.v. if there's no sound? I was a little disappointed and wanted to hear what they were saying so I decided to try something new. I walked up to the t.v. and kicked it with my left foot. As I had expected, my leg went right through the screen but it didn't break it, my leg actually went through the screen and into the scene that had been filmed. I squeezed the wrest of my body through and ended up in some sort of concert hall with a large dance floor and tables surrounding it.

      This makes five down, five to go.

      TV:
      I thought about what I wanted to do now... oh yeah, ToTY. I tried to remember the next one, and it took a few minutes to remember the TV thing. Traveling back to 1925, I raced for.... okay, why the hell is there a brontosaurus? Must have gone too far back.

      Went to 1925, correctly this time, and sensed for a TV I could watch. I found one a little ways to the west. I didn't bother knocking on the door, just walked in. There wasn't anyone there, guess I got lucky. I walked over to the TV and flipped it on. There were a few images flipping across the screen, a guy, a lady, a few logos, a dragon, a car... wait a dragon? It ran on a loop, and yes there was a dragon. Odd, but I guess such is the nature of dreams. I needed to wake up; my goal is to be the second person to complete these things, and I needed to be quick.
      Hindenburg:
      After waking up and checking the tasks, I checked around and instinctively knew this was a dream. It was time for the Hindenburg.

      After traveling back to 1937, I found myself near the Hindenburg already. It was already in the air, and I didn't know what the exact date was. I flew up and phased into the airship. I found myself in some sort of cocktail lounge. I walked up to a waiter here and asked what the date was "May Fifth, sir". The date didn't sound right, but this was the Hindenburg and it had to crash soon, right?

      I didn't take chances, I used Time Dilation to make sure I didn't waste too much time on one task, and waited around. After a few hours, in which it had turned to night, I was getting bored. So, being careful not to be noticed, I threw a few guys out of the blimp. I phased them through the walls and windows to make sure no one noticed them. I also noticed there were no women around.... sad. I summoned some and had a... sexy party.

      The next day, I was walking around the airship again. It had been a long time since I'd gotten here (or it felt like it). I finally felt like there was an explosion, and saw everyone running around. I felt the ship falling, grabbed a parachute, and jumped out a window. I pulled the cord and gently floated down to safety. I could've flown, but I wanted to try out the parachute I watched the ship crash and blow up. It was pretty cool looking. I'll have to blow up another airship sometime. I remembered then that I was still on ToTY.
      Nuclear Test:
      Back to sleep, I had used a DEILD. I didn't have much time left, so recalled that I had to go to the Atomic bomb testing.

      Traveled to 1945, and moved as fast as I could toward the site. I got to the facility pretty fast. I found a scientist and asked him when and where the bomb would be going off. "About five minutes, and quite a ways that way." he pointed to his left. I told him thanks and flew off as fast as I could. I stopped right in the middle of that little fake town you always see on TV.

      I waited the five minutes, and then I heard it. A high-pitched whistle that honestly chilled me to the core. I got a little nervous when it was coming down, wondering if I should move away. Before I could make a decision though, it hit me.

      The feeling, I can only describe as heat and death. It felt like I was in hell. And this feeling of death loomed over me like a bird circling over my corpse. I was winded afterwards, and I was blind. It must have burned out my eyes, I guess. It was time to wake up, and I needed an escape from this feeling of dread anyway.

      Can we do something modern next time?
      I can't relate to any of this.. they're nearly all based on old stuff.

      Woot! I finished my last two tasks this morning and last Sputnik:

      I stood on this little ledge until the countdown had stopped and the bottom of the rockets ignited. The shuttle slowly lifted up into the air and it gained more and more speed. Unlike in my last space dream there was no force in this one pulling me down from the acceleration. I just stood on this ledge holding on to the sattelite while we flew up into space. After a minute or so the main body of the shuttle had fallen off and it was now just me and sputnik. Suddenly, my feet started to float up off this ledge I was on and I figured I was in space. Sweet, got one down and now there just one left, the Titanic. I looked around and could see the earth right below me, not nearly as small as it was from the moon, but still not that large. I looked up and could see countless stars and various planets and also an asteroid.
      and the Titanic:

      I was walking around along the edge of the ship when there was a very loud bang, accompanied by the ship shaking violently. I figured this had to be the iceberg. I ran around to the bow and could see eveyrbody on the deck panicking and running towards the life boats. Just like I had learned in history class the boats were being deployed with only about half occupency. I got to the very tip of the boat where the famous scene from the movie had occured. (You know, "I'm king of the world!") Right as I got to the railing I heard a veyr loud creaking sound like metal being forcefully bent. The nose slowly started to rise up into the air and I looked back. I could see the ship tearing in half just like in the movie.

      I climbed over the railing and got on the very tip of it and planted my feet on the railing which had become the ground. Everybody who was on the ship and didn't make it into a lifeboat was falling into the water. The half of the boat that I was on was slowly making it's way down to the botton of the sea and about a couple feet a second. At this rate it was taking some time for the ship to go down but I remembered I had to "experience" the sinking so I just waited it out. I looked around and could see the various people in the lifeboats and a lot of people clinging to wreckage in the water. After a good 2-3 minutes of slowly sinking the ship was finally about to go completely under.

      I climbed up as high as I could until I was at the very highest point of the ship and the water was coming up faster then I had thought. My feet dipped into the water and wow, it was cold! I jumped up out of the water and just levitated a few feet above the surface but not before the water had gotten up to my waist. Wow, it was seriously cold. I felt bad for those people

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID



      I haven't been remembering my dreams as much recently. It could be due to focusing more on university and taking less naps. However, today I was exhausted after class, and hit my bed like free willy not clearing the wall. I was asleep in under five minutes.

      I had a short, strange dream about walking the queen of England through a busy city centre and helping her onto a submarine which was docked in a canal. I woke up after the dream, but didn't move or open my eyes. Instead I "looked around" with my eyes, just to see what would pop up. A table solidified in front of me. I was sitting at it. A few seconds more and it became clear that I was in a booth at an american-style diner. I drummed my knuckles on the table and looked around. I was sitting beside the window, and it was pitch black outside. The only light came from small oil lamps scattered around the diner. The diner itself was bare and run-down. I remembered that part of the task of the year was to survive the Trinity Test of the first nuclear bomb, and it struck me that the diner could be part of a purpose-built "nuke town"- built cheap and designed to be blown up. In thinking this, I made it so.

      A man approached my table from the right. He appeared to be a sheriff, and looked almost exactly like the sheriff from the start of Kill Bill. He said something to me in his southern-american drawl, adjusted his belt, and walked out of the diner into the dark. I can't remember what he said, but I inferred from it that a nuclear test was about to take place, and I should make myself scarce. Standing up from the booth, I noticed a huge, bright red metal cylinder in front of the till. It was about a metre and a half in diameter, and went from the floor all the way up through the ceiling. I assumed the first nuclear bomb must be inside at the top, waiting to be dropped.

      With this in mind, I went behind the counter and into the kitchen, where I found a ladder and trapdoor leading to the roof. The wind on the roof was incredible. It roared past me, and I could see the changing course of the streams of air all around the building. It was very dark in the streets below, but the occasional light was on outside buildings. In the gloom I noticed strange dark figures running back and forth. They were jagged-looking, like they were crudely-cast shadows. A little curious, I turned to the top of the bomb container. There were still two army grunts working frantically on a complicated control panel. Their sense of urgency was compounded by the howling of the wind, and every so often they would make reference to "zombies". I wondered then, whether this nuclear test could have an alterior motive- the eradication of a population of zombies. As most people know, I am a firm supporter of zombie rights. Namely, the right to a swift and comically violent death. To attract as many of these shadowy zombies into the kill zone as possible, I ran to all four sides of the roof, shouting like a maniac. Dark shapes in the street below darted through patches of light towards the diner. They were quick and waif-like. Some even started hopping up the side of the buildings nearby. I looked over my shoulder at the army guys and motioned for them to hurry it along. I turned my back on them and saw a dark figure peering up over the edge of the roof. He jumped up, and everything froze.

      The wind stopped howling and everything fell silent at once. Within a split second, a white-hot, orange light expanded from behind me. It was hot, and covered everything in my field of view in an instant. All I could hear was a high-pitched whine, and I could feel the blast burning. I roared as loud and long as I could -which I noted felt a lot longer than I could have done on a normal lungful of air- and the roar became part of the noise of the explosion. By the time the roar was finished, I had lost touch with any kind of physical body. My point-of-view had zoomed out beyond the town, which I could now see was on a narrow penninsula. The explosion obliterated it entirely.

      In what seemed like only a few seconds later, I zoomed back in and found myself in a body again. I was deep underground, beneath where the town had been. I had a pickaxe in my hand, and was listlessly tapping on some loose rock.
      From there, the dream became a bit like Minecraft, -which I have tragically never played- and I lost lucidity.

      LD 21: I tried a couple WILDs but had finally drifted off after the second one. I had got deep into some HH effects and started to be able to visualize my hands, then some how started a non- lucid dream that I don't really recall. I aproached a door at some point and a big lion came running out past me. I jumped back and did my levitation RC. Yep, I floated up into the air. I had that feeling that I was about to wake from the shock, so I decided to do something memorable as quick as I could. I turned into some kind of big cat but only as a image of a cat. I did not spend time with the transformation to really feel like a cat. I ran straight up a wall as a cat then pushed off doing a back flip and landing where I started. I quickly did it again. The very bazaar experience seemed to accually stablize the dream. Random imagery had place a big bath tub full of water in my path. I never tried to change back to human, it just happened when the tub distracted me. I said out loud to no one inpaticular, that I would make a geiser happen (water-bending) I focused on the surface and as I pictured my energy reaching out and grabbing the water, it started moving around. I made waves and a big slaps rise out of the middle, I did the whole thing again. I said out loud, "see that's pretty cool." A womans voice responded, "that is not really a geiser, now is it?" Ok I put more focus into bending the water into a real geiser. It worked and looked good; it was about 3 feet high bubbling out of the tub.
      She says "Ok, now what does that look like?" I lost focus and the geiser stopped, "It looked like a geiser." She asks, "why would your mind have randomly choose to do that? It is trying to remind you of something, think what it looks like." I made the geiser again and realized it looked like the base of an atomic bomb blast. OH! I had wanted to complete one of the tasks of the year, and had choosen to watch the atomic bomb test. Ok, how to go about it? I looked around and most of the scene was just unfilled in, so I tried to imagine what I should see. I knew they had trenches so I tried to some up trenches with people inside and it started to form. Now, there would be something in the distance every one was looking at, maybe a small tower, plus they had cheap building set up to see the damage. All of these things started to form.
      I suddenly was aware of my real life body and the pictures started to fade. I had never really to the time to stablize! Darn, I looked at my hands and rubbed my hands across my fore arms, they started to fade. I still felt a dream body so I tried dancing around blind pumping my elbows and knees. That kept me lucid for a few more seconds, but I ended up waking. Dur~4-5 min

      Sputnick Completed.
      Here is a link and some of the entry.

      03/18/12 Flying snake and the Sputnick Harley WILD



      LD 33 as of 02-17-12.
      .......... What now? I tried to think about the challenge thread, and remember what else was on it, but it was a total blur. I remembered that there is a challenge of the year thread. I could only come up with the Sputnick challenge. I decided to get launched into space with Sputnick. I flew up above the hills and circled looking for some sort of base or rocket pad. I did not see anything. There was a building on a hill side and I decided it must be a Russian guard house. I would have a DC take me to the launch site. I walk up to the building and a male guard is there. We talk and he gives me no real help. I decide that a different guard has replaced him. This one is a woman. I hate to be so much of a male here, but I decided Sputnix could wait. I would suduce the woman and then she would want to take me there. I also decided that the gaurd was a famous actress (Jen) and she became that person. I also change her into another actress for awhile, but went back to Jen. I quickly noticed she was more like a doll than a DC, so I told her 'I release all control over you, please act naturally.' She did, she developed a personality and made suggestions and was a very active partner.
      I materialized cloths for her and then for me. Finally I had a plan. jen is not really a gaurd, she is a Russian scientist who wants to let her new boyfriend she the Sputnic launch. I materialized lab coats for both of us. We go through a back door and come out on a launch site. I fly over to the rocket. I grab some fins near the nose of the rocket, but then think fins don't make sense here. I transform the fins into metal hand grips near a service hatch. The count down happens and I ride the rocket. I end up way up in the sky when the thing comes apart and the satalite is released. I had to levitate over to it. I decided that those anteni things would be how you stear it. I sit on the satalite and picture it kind of like a Sputnick Harley. Wow, it was great fun! I could see the earth below and saw Africa and Europe. I flew around very fast and it was like a rocket scooter. I decided to visit a space station. I could see one and drove Sputnick to it and left it with a valet.......

      Oh, looky what we have here! ^_^

      This looks interesting. Just printed the tasks out and hung them up on my wall.

      By the way, it would be nice if you posted pictures relevant to each task. You know, to get the imagination running.

      Pictures? You have to find those yourself. However, reading the links off Wikipedia will get you started. That's what I'm doing.

      Sure this interests you? No wings...

      I don't do it for the wings, lol. I have honestly more lucids than I know what to do with them. I did the task of the year of 2010. xP

      Oh and there's the colored name!

      Maybe this will inspire me to start my DJ up again, right now I just jot down a few keywords of my dream in a notepad, just for recall purposes.
