Congrats to Nifri and AstralVagabond for early completion!
Haha, I talk to my family about it all the time and I'm not in a padded cell. If padded cells are made out of mattresses it would be fun to play in one, a trampoline room would be even better :DQuote:

OK where's my congratulations on nailing it? :PQuote:

That's right! I did it! Only four days into the new month, I managed to get two basic Tasks of The Month done!! (When I first joined in February, I didn't get any... In March, I got one done near the end of the month... At this rate of improvement, it seems like I should get all Tasks of the Month done with time to spare in May and the Task of The Year done by June! ... That was a joke. Don't take it as a promise. Although maybe... Hey, the key to being a successful lucid dreamer is optimism, right? :teeth:)
Basic Task ii - Easter: Find an Easter Egg and open it; report what's inside: I am in a swimming pool and I just got done with doing a cannonball and getting out of the water. (The water felt real and wet. It was cool. I mean... it was good. Although I suppose the water wasn't particularly warm either.) I remember the other basic task-of-the-month that I have yet to do and get to work on summoning an Easter egg or a few. I turn my head several times, expecting something to be there next time I turn it. I see a few colourful eggs sitting on the ground - about 5 or 6 - some of them in multicoloured patterns and some of them monochrome. They seem small - though not really small for real-life chicken eggs. I pick up a decorated one. I open it with my hands and it separates in the middle, like one of the Kinder Surprise toys earlier mentioned. Inside it is a mass of milk or dark chocolate - sort of cuboid-shaped but not perfectly so. More unmoulded. I taste it and it tastes like chocolate. I don't finish eating it, though. I look over and see the other Easter eggs - some of them, the multicoloured ones, opened in the same way and with similar masses of chocolate in them, though with different kinds (such as white chocolate) - and the monochrome ones, which are actually made of chocolate. I don't taste any more of them before moving on, though.
Yay! Wings coming after work..
I think I may have done Basic II, I'll leave it up to the judges...(this is grabbing at straws)
4/05
11:am.. Napping I dreamed I was in a muddy riverbed digging for gold but didn't have a pan and tried to borrow one but nobody had any so I found an old hubcap and then saw a cave high up on a cliff and decided to flit up there then climbed up inside it until I came out on top of a tall building overlooking an apocalyptic city of devastation and didn't like it so I went back down in the cave and then realized I was dreaming and spun looking for an Easter egg.
I landed in a clearing next to a woods and between two huge boulders near the woods I saw a monster brown chocolate Easter egg standing on end maybe four feet high and paddled over to open it but it opened itself showing two rows of huge teeth and I said "Not this one" and looked around but no more eggs, nothing but brown grass and trees and then it turned dark and I fell into the dark hole but an outside noise startled me awake... Dang !
ps: I'm going back to what I do best, (Girl hunting)
I likely could have found a really good mushroom/girlplant/thing in that cave with a button here and a button there :)
Don't know, why that wouldn't count!!
At least you didn't get bidden in a remake of "Night Of The Living Bread" ..:mrgreen:

Which herbs are you experimenting with AstralVagabond? :happyface:
So I had a funny experience the other morning that relates to the tornado task. I'm still not clear whether I had a false awakening or an actual awakening. All I know was that I woke up to find that there was a heavy thunderstorm going on outside. I checked my watch, noted that it was only around 4 AM, and debated whether to just go back to sleep or attempt a WBTB. As I settled back into bed, I noticed the storm was getting worse, the thunder was louder, the wind was picking up…
And then the wind got so bad that I could hear the fully-loaded garbage cans outside being thrown against the house! I figured that normal winds couldn't possibly do that, so it must have been some kind of massive storm, or even a tornado.
After sleeping in for a few more hours, I got up, headed outside to check out the storm damage -- and found absolutely nothing. Those garbage cans were still in place, still full of garbage, and looking pretty much untouched. Then I checked with family members. Everyone was clear that there was a thunderstorm that morning, but no one remembered it being as severe as I did. Sooooo... I'm thinking I might have dreamed the whole thing but wasn't lucid enough to realize it.
I think I need to start simple and go for the Easter egg task. My old boss held an Easter egg hunt for us at work last year and I had so much fun with it. I'm not sure yet if the guy who replaced her is cool enough to do the same thing. And I'm a little too old to play with the kiddies during their hunt at the Easter party.
Um... I... don't really know yet. :huh: I was thinking it could be possible for my subconscious to just sort it out when I get there; but perhaps it is better that I develop a clear idea beforehand...Quote:

I say loud to the dream “I want some new plants to appear”, and on the other corner some plants appear in their pots, but they are ordinary plants, none of them is a new plant. I try again to blow into my hands to make a new plant appear but nothing!, I close my eyes while I do it (expecting that when I open them it’ll be there) damn!! I forgot I can’t close my eyes in LD because I wake up if I open them again. :doh:
Today in WILD: I appear in a train. It stops and I’m facing another train coming in my direction, it crashes before me. I climb it and jump to the other side where there are many dead bodies. I see an injured -but complete- girl and ask her where to find an easter egg, she just points into the direction of some rocks. I began to search but find nothing, I try to make them appear with expectation but the most it happens is that some rocks change into bright colors, but again, not a single easter egg. I try then the other task I want to do about the plants, same method, I cupped my hands and blow into them, but again, I closed my eyes again and wake up!!! :doh: :doh:
I hate this lack of dream control, I'll have to wait for a DILD to get it done.
