Thread: Task of the Month for October 2012

But seriously, CanisLucidus and I were talking about it recently somewhere I forget, but when something gets effed up in a lucid, like vision or something is stuck to you or in your mouth etc, it's time to change focus. I don't just mean stabilize with the hand rubbing, unless that works of course. But maybe chill, examine the environment, find something else to do besides the task or whatever goal at the time. This is in the experimental phase for me, but I'm determined to find a cure for this nonsense (especially now that I see it's contagious ).

Damn, full moon in real life today, I was ready to be bitten by a werewolf...

Good idea, I was thinking a similar thing this morning (I thought I should pretend I had a blindfold on every false awakening). My lucid today consisted of rubbing my hands, telling myself i'm dreaming, banging my head into walls and doors, without a single hint of vision.

LMAO you crack me up. But yeah that sounds like a good idea. I think I have done this in past without really realizing it. I don't know why but sometime I read one persons experience and then it happened to me. good and bad. strange.

Completed the basic task about trick or treating. I never did get any candy, but MelanieB was dressed as Huck-Finn. It was a cute a fun use of an LD and I enjoyed it.

10/05/12 Halloween Challenge DILD - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views


Here is the related part of the entry,,,


As I reach the top of the castle I staart thinking about what I could do that would be good training or constructive. I think about the DV forum,,, no, Matte is not running a competition. Isn't Ophilia Blue doing halloween challenges? I think so. However, I also think maybe someething cool is going on with all these castles, so maybe I should fly higher.

The scene turns dark and stormy and phantom figures are flying around and 'spooky' sounds are on the wind. the castles are gone. I guess that is my clue that I should stay focused on the Halloween stuff, so I land. I am on a busy city street. It looks like Mexico again. A cop car goes by annd is watching me. I ignore it, as I do not want my brain to evolve that thought any more.

I decide on the trick or treat challange as I do not like most spooky stuff. I walk into a store and a DC of my son is there holding a bag. I tell him to hand me a bag. He says he only has one. I tell him another bag is inside his bag and to hand it to me. It works and I now have a trick or treat bag.

I tell him about the challange and that the neighborhood ahead will be full of people from DV. We enter an apartment building and go up the hall. I am joined by other DV members who are trick or treating. I think Linkzelda was there and maybe Gab (but they looked genericly like tricker treaters). We started reading the names. The first two doors had Adrj001 and some other user name on them, but no answer. The room we went to next was Nitro-something and the door opened, but he was on the bed and a woman was on top of him. He yells out "No one home- no candy here!"

Wwe go to the next with some random user name, but no answer. Now MelanieB is with us. She looks like her avatar, but wearing a Huck Finn costum and with a fishing pole that has her candy bag instead of a hook. She is frustrated that no one is giving us candy. I tell her that I will go with her if she wants to leave and try another area outside of the apartment building.

My real life physical mouth is getting dry and the need is pulling me from the dream. I partially wake up and loose the dream state. Dur of lucid portion ~5 minutes.
