      I had a nice LD this morning, the most clear one I`ve had yet. Near the end I remembered the tasks and sang "Jingle Bells". It wasn`t very interesting(This is only my 7thish lucid dream, so I`m still working things out), but this is the first time I remembered to do something I wanted to do when I had an LD. It also snowed, but I didn`t cause that.

      Congratulations on accomplishing the TOTM Warpflare! Also, well done on remembering that you wanted to do it upon attaining lucidity, that's half the battle

      Good luck to everyone trying, I'm still a beginner unfortunately. I'll try when I get more experience.

      OpehliaBlue, what is TOTM? I checked the beginners acronym guide and it is not listed there.

      TOTM means Task(s) Of The Month
      TOTY means Task(s) Of The Year


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

      I did both basic tasks in one dream!

      Lucid # 103 Jingle Bells in the Snow TOTM - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

      I get up and notice that I am at work. This part of the plant we call the barn. I walk to go outside. Everything looks as it should. I remember TOTM and begin singing Jingle Bells as I walk out side. "Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way." I feel self conscious of my singing and lower my voice. It sound amazingly real and I wonder if I am really dreaming."Oh what fun it is to ride in a..." Now it is a whisper but I am still singing,"one horse open sleigh.... Jingle be...." For some reason I think I might wake someone up.

      I begin to doubt that I am dreaming. I think if I am dreaming I will not feel cold. As I step out side I notice the temp. It is warm and but I can feel that my feet are bare and cold. I know it is cold in real life and I would never be bare foot at work. Ok good.

      I want to make it snow. I forget all about singing. I see the maintenance building and the awning. Just like real life. I am still wondering if I am dreaming. I think if I am dreaming I will not feel cold. I start saying "Snow" over and over.All most instantly I see a fine mist in the air. I think it looks like sleet. I step out from under the awning. I feel it on my face and hands. It feels so real. But its not snow so I concentrate. I imagine flakes in the air. I see a few for up close and it looks like large pixelated snow flakes in my face. Still wasn't good enough. So, I focused on seeing snow on the ground. First I see piles in the parking lot. They are dirty like someone cleared the lot. I put my hands in it and notice I am now wearing heavy gloves and warm clothes. It feels slushy like it is melting. I look in the sky and try harder. Now I see heavy snow coming down. I look to the grassy area and it is thickly covered. I jump on my hands and knees and whaller in it for awhile. I notice how the snow sounds like rain but looks like snow. At that moment I hear a distant crack of thunder.

      I remember how sivaison wanted a blizzard. I think that would be cool. So I begin to visualize that. Now I see a wall off thick swarming white snow coming toward me. I begin having trouble keeping my vision firm and stable now. I am engulfed in it and carried away. I am flying now. I look up and can see clouds. I try to focus and I think maybe I can still pull of the advanced task of Aurora Borealis. I begin to fly upward but the blizzard catches up to me and engulfs my vision in a bright white light.

      Congrats Xanous!!! And I'm jelly, I just got the song one. Kinda weird that we were both singing Jingle Bells in a lucid dream at about the same time. Do we share a psychichihick bond?

      Jingle Bells, jingle bells
      Jingle all the way,

      I got all the way through with no problem! I was even kinda skipping around and dancing while singing it, it felt like second nature. I did notice however, that the sound of my voice was a little different. It sounded like it was a bit higher, like maybe what my voice sounded like when I was 15. Anyway, I was still lucid, so I tried to remember another task, but I couldn't. (I've been lazy naughty with my journal and incubations the past couple weeks, shame on me). I remember I was fussing with something in my hands, can't remember what.
      Then I woke up.

      Ha that's funny. I think our times are off by a few hours though. I actually wanted to sing it Sinatra style... J.I.N.G.L.E. bells J.I.N.G.L.E. bells BOM! but oh well I guess it was more natural the original way.

      WOW! What beautiful advanced tasks! I'll try both if I can (>_<) This will be my first time attempting a TOTM. I succeeded in my own personal task before, but I haven't had any more goal after that. This is a fantastic idea! (^_^)

      I made it snow! And I actually managed to meet the Ghost of Xmas Past. Like literally, "Are you the Ghost of Xmas Past?" "Why yes." *handshake* then I woke up. Damn! I'll post the whole chestnut in a bit.

      Dark sky and water scares you but, ghosts? Meh, no big deal. LOL. Say maybe we do have a link after all. I had a super quick WILD myself this morning. It was unlike any other. No noise,vibrations sounds or visuals at all. I just felt like I was spinning like maybe I was a little too drunk. So I tried to get up. But I actually popped up so fast that I found myself standing in my bed. Ha! Weird.

      In last night's LD, I sang the entire first verse of "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer". This is not even a real Christmas carol, though, so I'm glad I've already got my Basic wings from snowing.

      I am proud that I remembered the lyrics, but not especially proud that I chose to sing this song.

      With this act, I have befouled the Task of the Month. I denounce myself.

      I completed the two basic tasks! <3 And I sung without even meaning to (-____-) I am not in love with Christmas songs, except a few like Drummer Boy and Carol of the Bells, but I don't know their lyrics.

      Anyway, here's the link to my lucid dream with the completed basic TOTM. Completely UNEXPECTED too, because I was supposed to only practice remembering my dreams this week due to my losing my dream recall.

      EDIT:

      Hmm, I tried the link and it doesn't go to my DJ. I'll just paste part of the journal here.

      I woke up finding myself right outside of our house in my hometown right at noon. I realized with excitement that I am lucid, and started to wonder what to do. Then I remember the TOTM! I stood and looked at the sky.

      I looked up at the sky and willed it to snow. It was high, freakin' noon, with only a few clouds and a warm sun. Also, I never experienced snow in my life (it never snows in our country). I raised my arms and looked at the clouds, and the sky started to darken as the clouds move to my command. Then it becomes night, but still no snow. However, as it became night, I saw the aurora borealis! It was lovely (we never see auroras here in our country)! But then it wasn't my goal. Not yet, and I let it dissipate.

      I continued willing it too snow, and I then felt the first cold snow drop on my arms! I was ecstatic! It was a slow snow, and it didn't pour down as strongly as I wanted to, but it snows! Then I started singing, "We wish you a Merry Christmas" while walking back and forth in our yard. I can barely remember it now, but I chose it because it's such a short song. I remember singing the part "Good tidings we bring" and then "We wish you a Merry Christmas" again.

      Finally, I thought it is time to go up and the sky and talk to the person or being or anything that creates the aurora. I flew up and fell on our roof. I jumped again to fly but fell down again. I lost lucidity.

      I finally got around to trying the snow task again. I had a quiet morning to do a WILD (a rare thing) and everything went smoothly. Task completed a second time, but in a much more vivid dream. 12/23/12 WILD Calling Out to Buddha/ Snow Storm - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views


      The dream was about ten minutes long, so here is just the task part:

      I saw the sky was vivid and a night time scene with stars. I decided for the moment to fly towards a group of stars. Then I remembered that It was the ToTM snow challange I wanted to do a second time. The first time was not how I had wanted it. I changed the sky to day (no sun, but day light) and started to form clouds. I made the clouds get that weepy look they have when they are pouring out their content. I focused on that grey winter sky look. It started to snow in a nice snow flurry kind of way. Not pretty snow flakes, but blowing aggressive snow falling fast all around me. Ok, task done, but I hate snow in general, so time to move on."""

      I'm laying in bed looking out the window at the night sky. Huh! This seems like a good dream to try those monthly tasks out in. I fly out the window and up into the sky. Out of habit maybe, I fly around for a while just looking down on the sleeping, dark world, the horizon far below me.

      What was I supposed to do? I fly straight up at some speed while looking down toward the earth and sing Jingle Bells. I try to pay attention to the lyrics. Am I getting them right? I think so. There are lyrics there and they seem correct to my dreaming mind. I am self-aware that dreaming minds are deceptive. Who knows? I sing it well, very well on the non-chorus parts, making it artsy and professional.

      What were the other things? Aurora borealis... I wonder briefly if I should do all the tasks now or space them out in different dreams. I don't feel like I'll forget this dream yet and decide to proceed. I look around in the sky and find a spot of twisting green light in what I suppose is the north. I direct my attention to a different, dark part of the sky and try to make my own, with no success. A couple more times I try before I realize the problem. Making light where there is none is one of the hardest things for me to do, personally. When I try, I always have meager success if any. I'm flying around and landing on buildings as I do this and I keep coming across my recently deceased grandmother. There's something ineffably glowing and mystical about her. I come down into a large window opening of a roof-less, tall building. For the first time, I really notice her as she stands beside me. Could she be the one making the aurora borealis? "Grandma, are you...?" She gives me a sly smile and a small nod yes. "Show me how do do it! Grandma, will you show me?" She gets a serious look on her face and leans in close so our faces are almost touching. She says in a low voice as if it's a secret, and very seriously, "These things are not for you to know. These are not for you. This year the world will become what it is going to be!" I think: Whoa, cryptic! Gotta remember that one! But I just fly off to play with her auora borealis.

      In the sky I stretch my arms out wide, then narrow them as if to direct the glowing green to collapse in on itself. And it does. Aurora borealis gone. I stretch out my hands again and the sky explodes, not only with the green light from before but with orange and red and colorful planets. I collapse it again, and explode it again. I see what's going on here! Because there was already light there from my grandma's aurora borealis, that lets me create things of light in the same spot in my dreamscape. I play with it a while more, collapsing and filling the sky with light, rotating it.

      Then I decide it's time to find those ghosts of Christmas. Whatever they have to tell me should be interesting. I go to the ground and start wandering around. I walk into a well-lit cafe that has big open spaces leading to the outside. What walls it does have are made of glass. There is a man sitting there. He looks older with strange, yellowish eyes. "Are you the ghost of Christmas past, present for future?" I ask him. He shakes his head, no. I turn away but then look back at him. I often feel lonely in my dreams maybe he'll come with me. "Maybe you.." I start to say. "Maybe I can come with you?" he says smiling, reading my thoughts. And so we leave together. We enter a maze of hallways. I see a woman with long flowing hair that seems to defy gravity. "Are you the ghost of Christmas past, present, or future?" I ask. No, but she wants to tag along as well. DCs from all around as we wander take notice of us and some follow wanting to see how this turns out. Five to seven of them follow as I continue. I emerge from the hallways onto a balcony. I climb up onto the railing and hold my arms out to either side. I start to sing as I float up into the air. 2 of the DCs have climbed up on either side of me and grab onto me as my feet leave the rail wanting to fly up too. But their weight pulls me down. I try simply to slow our fall so they don't get hurt, but also notice that there's a pool on the level below us. We land in the pool and I reflect on my spontaneous singing and flying. Seems like I'm about to enter a stage of dreaming where I'm less in control and this might be the time to wake up or risk losing my memory of it all. I recollect on the dream so far and find that I can remember it; that's good. But it seems long and it's probably a good time to wake up solidify things into conscious memory. Details of dreams dreamed too long begin to vanish.

      I open my eyes.
