Thread: Task of the Month for March 2014

I'm sure I'll try this quick basic task again, and I'm still in for the bonus task!

No!
With that said, If you dream you are lucid dreaming it's a lucid dream, I do it a lot, In general I just play along with the story and if it seems to be fun and nothing needs changing I leave it alone maybe looking along the way for a way to fit in a task.. To lucid dream just for the sake of it you may as well just do your math lesson in it, It soon becomes boring, I talk to everything in dreams and they understand me too even tho I don't

ie: If I ask a bottle of water the distance to the moon it will answer even tho I have no idea why I asked it such a stupid question.

Crap it's almost March 15th! Don't worry Caesar I'll save you!

Dry month for me as well. What to do to battle "dryness?" Perhaps a bit of drink? St. Patrick's day is approaching! I got a great DEILD-like dream on the "morning" of January 1st after quite a bit of champagne the night before, so.....worth a try!

Basic task (i)

Yeah, What happened to March ?
I started out the month on roller skates and in less than a week the wheels fell off.. Like I took a nap and dreamed non-lucid about deleting everything that was black and we had to make things black to do it and just gibberish dreams like that too convoluted to even journal.
It's the stinkin weather person I think.. I do better in good weather ...

Don't know but I'm in dire need of dream tea, with or without the hare.

We're late, we're late, for a very important date!

I succeeded at the "middle name" Basic task. Yes, I know my wife's middle name, but still asked her anyway.

I wind up in a bedroom with a simple but comfortable-looking bed that has a large stuffed teddy bear laying on top of it. Wife is standing off to the side near one corner and I remember to ask her for her middle name (for Task of the Month.)

When I ask for her middle name, she responds, “Ba ba!”

“Your middle name is ‘Ba ba’?”

She laughs. “Oh, sorry! I actually meant ‘Ba ba ba ba’.” I’m amused but I consider asking her a third time. The teddy bear catches my eye for a moment and when I turn back Wife has vanished.

I came so close last night!

I was in a classroom and people were acting out some kind of skit. One of the players was Andre the Giant. At some point, he got too close to a candle and his hair caught fire. People in the crowd started screaming, "Your hair is on fire!" but he couldn't understand them. I became terrified as the fire seemed to spread from his hair to other people's hair. Then I realized I was dreaming. I remembered that I had to pinch someone who wasn't wearing green, and I decided it should be Andre. I started running up from the back of the room, and kept running... and running... and stlll running without making much progress until I woke up.

It occurred to me after I woke up that it would have been much easier to find the person next to me and pinch them.

Dang almost the UFO thing completed, my alarm clock woke me up RIGHT when it was going to happen

While being on top of my house's roof I spotted a white circle in the sky, it was still and just being there. I decide I'm going to make it come out as an UFO so the object began coming towards my house (it's night btw). It was this stereotypical circular UFO that had lights all over it's hull and it was levitating/flying with wavy motion above me. Approx 10m in diameter/lenght , the UFO.

Did 2 basics in one dream last night. I was walking around with a guy in some building, don't remember what we were doing there, when I encountered spider webs, lots if them. I don't like bumping into them in real life, and in dreams they're also rather menacing because they usually contain rather unpleasant spiders. Every time I turned around there was another web and this triggered lucidity. I told the guy I was with that I was dreaming all this, but I would still be obliged if he would get rid of those darn webs, at which time he did with a varying array of martial arts moves. This was rather humorous since this man was a bit on the portly side. With the webs and their attendant spiders vanquished, I asked him his middle name and he said it was Bruce. I then said, "Well Bruce, you're not wearing any green", and I pinched his arm. We walked into another room and I walked right into another spider web, all over my face. I woke up to my cat's whiskers on my face, tickling it and no doubt contributing to the sensation of a web across the face.

Ohhh I succeeded only 2-4 seconds of the bonus task!! My dream began like this: http://www.dreamviews.com/lucid-expe...ature-dcs.html

after having that conversation with the DC, I thought "hmmm... what should I do next??", I remembered the bonus task that I wanted to try. So I said out loud to the dream "I want to get abducted by aliens!!!" suddenly I began floating and went through the ceiling, as I was floating I heard many spaceship/cosmic-like sounds, but also my vision began to get blurry, I landed at an apparently empty grey room, I wanted to focus my vision on some alien or something but I lost my sight, then the hearing and then I woke up!!.

I blame the "floating" for waking up, because it's usually the feeling I get when I decide to wake up from a LD, I usually began going up as if in an elevator, with some feeling of going through layers. Maybe my mind took it as a signal to wake up!

Well, it's the 14th today, and I've got some REM rebound coming up tonight. It's PJ day, and I'm ready! I feel a WILD coming on...

If I don't make at least one set of wings tonight, I will be very disappointed! Failure is not an option! To infinity... and beyond!

I have completed a basic task. Asking a DC their middle name... the results are... well, rather unexpected. 3 LD's - Sentient Dream Figure - Etc. - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views


her presence awakens me- but I re enter the dream again. She's the only one there now. She looks about 20, sandy blonde hair. She has the body of Lara Croft and is sort of dressed like her. She wears black, and has on a backpack. I approach her with the intent to satisfy my primordial instincts but she stops me. "Whoa whoa whoa- back dude dude" she says.... wow. I ask what's going on and she says "listen- I am somewhat very important" and then she starts giggling. I've never encountered a dream figure with such intelligence. I ask her what her name is- and mind you this lucid sequence was my longest one so far, so it's hard to remember everything... but I think she said her name was "Ba Berper". I asked her what her middle name was and smiled... she rolled her eyes and smiled too as if she knew this was the TOTM, and said- "I don't have a middle a name"

Not what I was expecting... but still did it

Lol, "Ba Berper"

That's the 2nd "Ba" dream this month O_O

Man, so many cool dreams!

Nicely done to all!

Wow...That's a mighty Wolfish looking full moon up there tonight. I better get busy

OK, this has got to count for basic, it satisfies the precise wording of Basic (i) even though she didn't answer. While I was waiting for the answer, I specifically looked, she was wearing green, doh! Little bright green epaulet things on her neck/shoulders. And it's St. Patrick's Day today (in my timezone, it's now 9am. That should give me enough LD karma to get basic wings!

I'm standing somewhere going somewhere I need to be, outdoors, at a traffic light, waiting for it to turn green. A late 20's early 30's woman pleasant looking but not really a beauty is standing nearby. I think she wants to talk to me to get a signature on a petition, it turns out that I am a resident of this place so I could sign I suppose, but I want to avoid the conversation. She starts talking to me and says that she just visited the woman in that house over there (I know she's talking about my mother and my childhood home, but I don't reveal this to her), and she says it's good thing she did because they were going to sell soon (I "know" this is true) and the told them about the benefits of selling vs. renting. The light turns green, I gesture towards the light to indicate we should start walking, and we do. We head down a stairway into an indoor office. The real estate agent (for I realize that's what she is) is talking about all her clients, "I have 130,000 problems I need to solve," she says. I think I just want to get away from her and on to my destination. She then says, with genuine feeling, "I love you." What? I feel very awkward, and say "well....uh....that's nice...." Then something clicks. Ah ha. I swoop in for a kiss, and on the way in I get fully lucid. Have a quick but not too fast kiss, it's *nice*. I pull back, we're standing against a bulletin board with random papers posted. We look deeply into each other's eyes, my face is just a few inches away from hers. She has beautiful deep brown eyes I realize! She is looking adoringly deeply into my eyes. Things seem stable but I raise my hands into my vision on either side of her shoulders and rub my thumbs against my fingers. I feel like I should turn away but I can't! I ask her, "What's your middle name?" She just keeps on with the adoring looks deep into my eyes, not even confused, just doesn't answer. Ok, next: clothing color, I look down, and CRAP she's wearing green! Bright green epaulet things (shaped, they're part of the material, not placed on top) on her trapezoids left and right over a white top. I look back up into her eyes and I fade to awake.

Yes sir. I love it when members understand the directions

Congrats!

^^ I should have thought to myself, "let me see if she's wearing red" and I would have seen red instead of green then I could have given her a pinch on the tushy. Should have anyway! Argh. Gotta fake out that tricky SC!

Basic Task i - Middle Name Pride Day: Ask a DC what his or her middle name is.

This was during my first lucid dream yesterday. I asked a girl who was helping me navigate my dream world what her middle name was. She acted shy and wouldn't tell me at first, but after some coaxing I got it out of her. I asked for a pen to write it down on my hand because it was a pretty unique middle name. Unfortunately I don't remember it. Though I'm pretty sure "luka" was apart of it.

Basic Task ii - St. Patrick's Day: Pinch a DC who isn't wearing green. Report his or her reaction.

I looked at the same girl's clothes after remembering the other task of the month. She was wearing a green skirt with a white pattern so I didn't pinch her.

Well I got lucky with a brief lucid last night and I managed to do one task, fail with another, and accidentally tried doing a task from last month(I thought it was this month's for some reason). I'll make an entry later, I don't have time now. But I'm happy!

Advanced ii done! Very unexpected DC representation in the the second attempt & completion. It's longish so putting into spoiler.

Spoiler for Advanced ii attempt::

Then I see dad sitting at a long dinning room table and recall the Mad Hatter Tea Party task. I think my mom was also there, so I turn to the kitchen and tell her to make me some tea. I look at the kitchen but my mom has disappeared. No, just when I need her DC she's gone, I turn around and try to summon her, which should be easy, still no DC. Quite interestingly, I do hear loud noises coming from the kitchen as if she is there - the water running, dishes, etc.

I decide to summon a cup of tea myself and more like a habit, I move my hands closer as if holding a cup of tea and the next moment I start distinguishing the light tea liquid in between. After a bit, a china cup appears there as well. My mood is super elevated after this - an effective summon in direct eyesight - not what I expected! I place it on the table - its existence is very shifty, where I try to manipulate it into a proper looking and full tea cup. In the meantime, if not mistaken mom comes and leaves a small tea cup at the table. I pour some of the liquid from the large one into the small one. Now everything looks satisfactory. The cups are still a bit shifty now with blue decorations. This is probably the only less rushed part of the dream, where I actually decide to take a moment and examine the picture at the bottom of the cup and memorize it. It is a typical Chinese decoration in blue - a village person with a Chinese straw hat as if fishing barehanded in the river in front of a village. I even get to feel some cool false memories/info about the people that used this cup at this point in the past and their life.

The next thing I need is a rabbit and I think about one while looking around, then turning to dad to see that he is holding one - a real rabbit, but as I come closer to examine it becomes a stuffed toy rabbit. Oh, well, it's still a rabbit. Now I need the mad hatter and as planned I want to summon Johnny Depp to represent him. This will be a tough one, so I decide to summon him as Jack Sparrow as this role has the strongest impression for my mind. I need to feel his presence, so I kind of shortly turn into him myself as I shout out full of emotion in a deep male pirate voice "Captain Jack Sparrow". A bit worried about the strength of my voice waking me up. This is enough to cause strong thoughts about the character and a JS DC appears in front of me. He's not wearing all the make up, but has pirate clothes and the dreadlocks. Similar to my cup summons, his facial features quickly change to those of a random DC. That doesn't matter now, I notice he wears no hat and if he is the mad hatter he has to, so I think about a hat, see one, then another one that I triumphantly place on his head. Ok, where were we? Briefly lose mental focus, then recall about the poem. I only manage to say the first word and the dream quickly thins out.

Spoiler for Advanced ii done!::

There's a part that's open to the yard like a garage with lots of tables and all the family & friends DCs walking around and being super loud. I try to summon a cup again, this time one appears on the table where I'm standing. Also, in the distant end of the garage is another table with two large tea pots. I bring the cup over there, but it fills up with sugar as I examine the items on the table. I guess that's enough for a tea party and decide not to mess with the stuff anymore. The light in the garage gradually goes down - this is also the end of the garage, near the wall. The DCs make their way around the table, taking part of the tea party. I need the rabbit and without actively summoning it, notice that on one of seats around the table is actually sitting the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland (1951), wearing the playing cards type of clothes. He is animated, which is strange, but I'm just happy about the summon and wonder what to do about the mad hatter. Again, unexpectedly as I look to my other side I see the mad hatter (1951). It takes me a bit to actually realize that I'm looking at the mad hatter from the movie. What is even more interesting is that I get this very convincing memory that the clothes that he is wearing in the dream are the correct ones - and he is a wearing green! (later checked to find out that it's the right attire). The dream becomes extremly dark at this point with one last effort I make all the DCs repeat with me the poem-like thing I prepared for this event :

"Lucid dreaming,
what's the meaning
something's flying in the sky,
awesome feeling
rabbits speaking
why, Ophelia, why?"

Completed the basic middle name task, and I failed the pinching task:
