Oh, heck, no. I have the same sort of dream. (Pun not intended but convenient.) Also. Unrelated; but about the new signature:

The genetically engineered ducks for English commentary on fashion sense were gorgeous, too, AstralVagabond!
Shame I didn't save that down, while I could - could you post your ex-sig once more for me please?

Oh! Actually, StephL, I was planning to keep using this signature anyway; that was just a temporary change that I applied for the one-time post! But gee, thank you; it's nice to know that my signature is well-received! I wanted to know what people thought about it but, you know, it'd just be silly to ask.

Okay good.

The new sig, haha I like it.

Had a half hour nap and attempted a task... At least I got lucid this time!

Spoiler for Task attempt:

I was sitting on the office chair near the computer in Cee's room, and he was standing over my shoulder. We were having a bit of a moment and almost kissed. I knew it was a terrible idea but I was considering letting it happen anyway, but we were interrupted by a loud beeping/siren noise. A message popped up on the computer screen saying that the computer was being remotely accessed by a terrorist organisation. The beeping was getting increasingly faster, and we were frantically fumbling to pull the power cords out to try to disconnect from the hackers.
My feelings of panic made me decide to RC, although it all felt very real and urgent, so I was a bit reluctant to pull myself away from it to check. My hands were a bit fuzzy, but I wasn't convinced, so I pinched my nose and found that I could still breathe. I took a few deep breaths to try to calm myself down, because I was still in panic mode (I kept my nose plugged during that, to remind me that it was definitely all okay and artificial.)
Cee was still looking at his computer intently, but his face looked calm now. I was still feeling a bit shaken up, but I tried to steady my voice and asked Cee meekly, "Hey, do you know any limericks about Dream Views?"
He looked at me enthusiastically, like he was about to come out with something amazing, but when he opened his mouth, he just let out sarcastic grunts in the rhythm of a limerick, except for a few words at the end... something like, "the dream case!"
I realised he was not going to be very helpful, so I left him at the computer and walked into my own room. Everything in the house seemed overly 'normal', which was really putting me off - I had to keep convincing myself that it was definitely a dream. Usually I draw portals with my finger to teleport, but I wasn't confident it would work with my level of doubt in the dream. So instead, I tried closing my eyes and spinning to change scenes. When I opened them, I was still in my room, which made sense because I wasn't actually focusing on creating a new place to appear in. I gave up on the teleportation idea, and did my favourite 'flying up in a superman pose and smashing through the ceiling' move. I was flying over a nice green countryside, and feeling a lot more relaxed and confident within the dream now. I started thinking about what task to do, and thennn...
My dogs started barking in real life and woke me up. Grrr.

I wonder if I will finish the task tonight...

It was awesome, first time dream drinking. My only regret is that I didn't get to do a few more rounds and investigate the thing with cozy-girl more!

Advanced I.

The hospital...
5/08
7:00pm
I had gotten infection in an incision from last month and following my doctor's advice on the phone had the paramedics transport me back to the E.R. early tuesday morning.. after admisssion I was not really allowed to sleep for about 48 hours.
Just barely dozing off for not more than a couple of minutes at a time I had maybe a hundred very short dreams both lucid and non..
Now the dreams,
Lying on my side and looking out thru a hole in the bed rail I could see the clamp and knobs on the IV pole hanging beside me and each time I dozed off they turned into a little black man or sometimes men and I knew on the way in I was dreaming and though they were lucid they were fitful and cockeyed because each time I was awakened in a minute but finally maybe 2:00 am this morning I was able to go a few minutes time, I was watching the clamp when it started moving and thought "lucid" this time dammit and I found my self playing guitar and singing a German folk song in German at a campfire in the night surrounded by people singing along and can remember the sounds but not the name of the song before waking up from some noise..

After breakfast I dozed off again still fascinated by the knobs on that clamp and when it looked like a man again I saw my hand in front of me and wiggled the fingers and said this time she was not getting away, I had a really pretty young nurse visit just before and I instantly paddled out into the hallway and saw her and with no mercy at all just flopped her on a bed in the hallway and almost devoured her neck as I ravaged her body and then went looking for other things to do, I was still worrying over the wreckage of the nurse and wanting to go back to it so I went paddling madly about in circles trying to remember another task and I did this so long I woke up again before I got anywhere else... "Whew"

Hm... I think I might join in. Since I'm back here to try to calm my dreaming brain down, I'm going to shoot for the Star Wars one... only using a stereotypical Jedi exercise of floating some nice, non-threatening objects around.

Going to stay faaaar away from the birth one, though the rest of you go ahead and have fun. (Congrats to those of you that have completed it already!)

... And it's back.

I hope that's okay... StephL liked the old one, though...

I got the limerick one! On the way to work so I'll just post the poem part:

There once was a man named Stan
Who lived in a garbage can
When he was in the mood
To fry up some food
He used the lid for a pan.

I woke up laughing at that. And it was to the Popeye the sailor man tune too haha!

Whole Dream.

Ha - well done Ophelia - pretty very lucid of you -

Hooray for Ophelia

Finally wings for the squadron leader, (did you ever wonder what it might be like to be led on a flight by a leader that couldn't fly)

Awesome, OB!!! Your subcon's got a knack for poetry!

^^ If I could get that level of cognition in a LD I'd be ecstatic. Cave-man-dreaming-me has usually other things on his mind, however...

I completed the force task, but I failed the music task. Wasn't really my fault I failed however, lol.

Task of the Month Completion

Hmmph.. Caveman thinking. You have no idea
Someday (soon) there's going to be a war over who is the most perverted dreamer on this site...

I was just reading Ophelia's DJ for the first time today... She might be in the running with her frequent dude-part sexual encounters, haha! Not that I'm a dream-nun or anything.

I had another facepalm non-lucid today. I was teaching a DC how to recognise dream signs, but I didn't realise that I was dreaming myself...

OB would get my vote too but we don't dare put our real DJ's on here or we'd get arrested for what were dreaming...(edit) And there are too many hungry young eyes on here .....
I keep my nasty little DJ on a password protected flash drive where nobody could ever get to it
But I do have a reputation to uphold and if you think i'm kidding just ask "Daisy Duck"

Haha, you are not the only one with the encrypted "special edition" DJ .

Eh Basic Task II sounds easy enough and I wouldn't mind getting my name in orange again I might attempt some others too.. good choives task club!

Now that I have some time again I shall works in these. Pretty easy all five of them... the most challenging one is the basic task for Star Wars and maybe giving birth (being a male...) but these should be easily done... Been connecting with too many ET beings on my several last lucids, lol.

So I was aiming for the bonus task but instead, my subconscious mind sent me out on stage with an audience!

Now I find myself on stage with a band. In the audience are members of many of my favorite rock bands. I remember that the advanced task is to perform for an audience, so I decide that my band is going to cover one of my favorite songs. However, the guitar player starts off playing Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze." I panic for a second because I can't remember the lyrics, but after a few bars, I manage to go along with it. I can see the ex-drummer of my favorite band is sitting right up front, and his head is bopping in time to the music. He seems to be enjoying it.
