      Although I have done something very similar, I've never jumped on top of a train before... until last night

      Advanced Task

      Spoiler for Advanced Task:


      Anyway, I hope my dream was as entertaining to read as it was to experience, because that was one hell of a dream. I hope to see some more great stories about this epic adventure, and I plan on completing the basic task tonight

      I did the mirror thing in my last lucid. Funny thing is, I totally thought it was last month's TOTM and felt really stupid and disappointed when I woke up. When I told the people in #DVA, that's when I realized it was still this month's TOTM. Anyway, forgive me, this is a few days old, and I haven't had time to post it because of school

      Here's what happened:

      I was in our basement, and when I went to turn on the lights, it wouldn't work (it was dim but I could still see). I got lucid soon thereafter, and did the nose pinch and some stabilization (feeling objects and observing my hands). I was gonna try to change the dream scene but I saw a full-length mirror that we used to have in my grandma's house. Then I thought, "Daammmnn too slow, this was supposed to be last month's task. Might as well do it." So I walked through it slowly, which felt weird yet awesome. The feeling is quite familiar to me, since I've done plenty of phasing stuff in my other lucids, and this one felt the same. When I got to the other side, it was just the reverse of the original dream scene, except the mirror frame was glowing. I held some objects, and found out they were kinda jelly-ish when I touched them. I decided to leave the current dream scene (since I was also sad that I thought I was a month late on the task). I thought about walking through the mirror again in order to move to a new dream scene, so when I walked through it, I imagined a new dreamscape. I failed though, and woke up before I could reach the other side.

      Maybe it's a dream and if I scream, it will burst at the seams.

      Last night I went to sleep with the task of completing both the basic task, and one of the tasks of the year, so this dream was very much to the point.

      Basic Task

      As I climbed the glacier that I used to climb every night, I think hard about the task at hand. Once I reach the top, I am at my school. There is nobody there - which is odd - as I walk around, I hear nothing, see nothing, feel nothing. I come to the quick realization that this is because I did not want to adventure tonight, I simply wanted to complete the tasks at hand. I decide to have some fun and fly to my house (I tried flying with wings for the first time; I prefer no winged flight) in order to fall asleep and dive deeper within my subconscious. When I fall asleep in my bed, I wake up in a very old room. The room seemed like it could be in a castle somewhere, but the technology in the room seemed out of place, since there was a Brownie Camera (the first TOTY) sitting on top of a small wooden desk. Directly in front of me, was a mirror. I could see what I was wearing: A black spy suit, with a hood over my head (very splinter cell-esque) and the camera in my hand. I took a picture of myself looking into the mirror with the camera. Since this is a dream, the camera functioned like a Polaroid camera (I actually have no idea if this is how the actual Brownie Camera functions) and instantly gave me the picture. There was no dimension in the picture, it was simply flattened and very 2-D. The strangest part, however, was the fact that I was not in the picture. The mirror did not show my reflection, but simply what was behind the camera, which was a picture of a knight in a suit of armor. After I put the camera down, I knew it was time to enter my reflection. As I got closer, I could see the outline of my body slowly shake. I put my hand inside of the mirror, and I felt a cool sensation. As I went more and more inside of the mirror, the sensation grew, until I was fully emerged in a cool liquid. When I opened my eyes, I noticed that I was surrounded by water now. I could see the sunlight above, and swam towards it. Around me, there were icebergs and nothing else. I quickly teleported to safety, and awoke from my slumber.

      The basic task reminds me of the first TOTM I tried, when I first joined. : D I'll give it a shot if I can remember.

      I done the advanced task in my lucid last night, despite my subconscious cheating and making it really easy! The dream's in my journal: 20th June 2012 - Seventh Lucid Dream [Partial WILD & Advanced Task of the Month] - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
      Check out my DreamViews Podcast with OpheliaBlue!

      The best reason for having dreams is that in dreams no reasons are necessary.

      No sailor controls the sea. Only a foolish sailor would say such a thing. Similarly, no lucid dreamer controls the dream.
      Like a sailor on the sea, we lucid dreamers direct our perceptual awareness within the larger state of dreaming.

      Question

      Well, I hopped on top of a speeding freight train in one of my dreams a couple of nights ago. I wasn't lucid though and conciously thinking of the TOTM but it was really vivid and I stayed on for a while. Does this count?

      GAAAAA Finally able to do the advanced lucid task today:

      I was lucid, and in a mountain resort kinda place. I stabilized, etc., and went to the balcony. I decided to change the dream scene but remembered the TOTM, so instead I imagined a train coming out of from under the balcony. I heard the rumbling sound, and when the train popped out from under me, I jumped on it right away. I wasn't really waiting for any perfect timing, I just imagined landing perfectly on it and I did ;D. The train was moving quite fast, and it was heading directly to the mountain -- without any tunnels or passages in front of it; there weren't even train tracks (lol). I was standing with my legs apart, so I wouldn't topple over, though mostly I was just imagining not falling. I closed my eyes right as the train hit the mountainside, and when I opened them a second later, I was at a subway station. It was apparently an abandoned one, and I could see skeletons piled up on the waiting area. I willed the train to stop, and it did with a screech. I jumped off, and started walking to the corpses. Then surprisingly, Bones (from the show Bones) came out from the same train, and yelled "Do not touch the evidence! *something something about foramen magnum something*". Then I woke up.



      **oooh also, it'd be cool if someone did the train TOTM, but instead, the train passes through a huge wall of mirror. Hit two tasks of the month in one go haha!

      Maybe it's a dream and if I scream, it will burst at the seams.

      Sorry SuperSonicFan, rules state that you have to be lucid. But that's about as close as you can get to the TOTM without lucidity! Almost there though, especially if you're carrying over the thought and action of TOTM into a nonlucid. Pretty rare actually.

      That is awesome how you got to the train setting through focusing on that toy, a very literal interpretation of activating your train schema It's a great idea, wherever you want to go, pull a related object out of your pocket and focus on it until the scene changes, I'm definitely going to try it

      I don't know if this is good enough. Its really weak. But I at least got my head in for a brief moment. It was just dark in there. LOL. And the other part is a little embarrassing.

      Then of course, I get horny. I walk into the womens locker room. Shower. I hear a woman scream. But the shower is empty. I keep looking and hear little girly shrieks. I run to another room and see a bath tub shower curtain. I move the shower curtain and it sounds like little girls but they run like a vampires. Like flesh colored streaks. They are just so ethereal and ghostly. I look for them and cant find them. One went behind me and one strait through the wall in the shower. I turn around and see a sink and mirror and door in the direction the one went but the door is boarded over and shut.

      Wait! What the hell? These are little girls anyway and thats gross. I'm lucid and I'm waisting it on being horny!?

      I look around again. OMG MIRROR TOTM! I walk to the mirror and look closely at myself. I am wereing a plain grey hoodie. My face and hair look pretty much normal. For some reason I am making really crazy looking faces at myself but I don't feel it on my face. I look closer and I look normal but not normal. Kinda blurry.

      OK enough. Go into the mirror. CAN'T. SOLID! I move back the mirror got smaller. Like the size of my laptop screen. I look and find another mirror on the wall. I place my head into. SOLID. I press really hard. I feel something give and I look around but it is just black darkness and then I am pushed back out. I try again but it solid once more. I notice that I can feel no sensation on my head so I really am dreaming. I wont why I can do in. I move back. No I am holding the mirror and there is a giant wall mirror behind a metal rack thing. I look at myself again. Trying to clear things up and really see. I look the same with a goofy expression. I press my head in again. SOLID.

      I guess it was funny now you mention it. But at the time it was a little shocking and worrying. I thought maybe my dream self is a crazed psycho! LOL.

      Nothing really gets to me in dreams anymore. Especially being lucid. I guess all this has really helped me with my nightmares.

      I completed the basic task! Here is the excerpt from my DJ:
      ......But then I think, I do that every time I have a lucid dream, I just walk around. I figured I had to do something this time. By now the dream was very stable. I think, What to do, what to do… Then I remember the task of the month! I look around and find a mirror on the wall to my left right beside my head. How convenient. I take a few steps back and run at the mirror. As I run I see my mom from the corner of my eye. She says something but I ignore her. Once I am just a few feet away from the mirror I leap head first into it. I am a little disappointed at the outcome. But it was interesting nonetheless. I was sent into another house like the one I was in. I came out of another mirror into a very fancy living room. It was well light by a huge chandelier in the middle of the room. The ceiling was very high in this room. On a couch was a man reading a newspaper....

      I was going to adhere to Mancon's thread with the task suggestions, so I'll see if there's a water themed one. Also, it might be fOrceez's turn to choose for July. So you may be buttering up the wrong staff member this time

      I attempted the TOTM, here are the results.

      For the full dream, see my dream journal;

      I suddenly remembered the task of the month. I knew it involved walking through a mirror. I turned around, expecting to find a mirror, and taadaa! A lovely mirror. Just a regular, rectangle mirror hanging on the wall behind me. It was a bit high for me (I'm a shortarse) but not way high, so I pulled myself up to it, and just stuck my head through boldly. I wanted to do this without having a chance to think of anything, because then it might influence what I saw. Putting my head through was easy, and I didn't notice anything strange. Just colours coming into view (mainly green snippets) I then thought 'oh, it's going to be of a beautiful park scene,' and then thought 'don't think of that, cos then that's what you'll see!' however it wasn't, what I did see, was SPACE. Like, our universe, just black, and filled with stars and I could even make out the milky way. It was BIG. There were brightly coloured parrots flying through space, just casually flying around, in all directions, kind of slow. Different breeds and sizes, but all brightly coloured parrots. They didn't even notice me. The vastness of the space scared me however, and I decided there was no way I was climbing in there! So I pulled my head out. It was hard to get out, like I would somehow fall in, and for a minute I was stuck, but a very nice young DC, who had black hair and a friendly smile pulled me out. I thanked her and told her the mirror was 'all hers.' So she climbed up and stuck her head in too!


      This was by far the best lucid dream I've had. I'm excited to attempt more TOTM's!!!

      Ooh, their breath is warm
      And they smell like sleep
      And they say they take me home
      Like poppies heavy with seed
      They take me deeper and deeper
