This has been playing in my head all day à la "Peanut Butter Jelly Time".


I like your purple text too, FryingMan.

Hope I can give some of these a shot...if my recall ever comes back!

Basic Task ii FAIL

I'm lucid. I'm standing on a cliff looking down at the ocean. The waves are crashing into the rocky cliff. It's actually a nice and vivid dream scene. I knew I needed to get down there and do some fishing!

I get down to the edge of the ocean. I get on a small boat and start paddling out. I'm suddenly joined by a huge heavy set Hawaiian guy. He is in the boat and cheering me on for the task. He points me in a direction and I follow his advice.

The waves are coming in and pushing us back. I can't get very far out so I just say forget it I'll use this spot so I cast a line out...I feel a tug so I reel it in and pull up a human head! It's of a man who has obviously been decapitated. There is also maggot looking things all over it. The Hawaiian guy freaks out and bails on the boat and swims away. I wake up.

Yep leave it to my dreams....even a simple peaceful fishing task has to turn violent. I don't want to count this bc for me I feel like it should have to be alive or it wouldn't count as a "catch."

Yeah thought of you when I colored it And I'm glad it's "stuck" in your head, that's the point! I wish I could get it stuck in mine, even after coining that cheer it takes a while to come back to me, like.

"<something> <something> <something> ROCK! yeah, rock"
"<something> <something> <something> rock" come on, now, oh yeah, "black hole!"
"<something> fishing <something> rock" (black hole)
"<something> fishing dino rock" (black hole)
COME ON WHAT's THE FIRST ONE, oh, duh, music, I had non-lucids about it already
"music fishing dino rock" (black hole) aaand repeat it a bunch.

Not to mention, another orchestra/music non-lucid last night.

The (cute) oboists had taken all the chair spaces on the riser platforms, I had no room left, I complained and they invited me on to their row, hey maybe I can sit in between them, heh heh. And the conductor had two more broken vertebrae and had to change his conducting style to not have any more up and down motions, and occasionally step down off the podium and just walk about a little bit, I wondered what the audience would think of that.

And yet another music non-lucid:

...A guy comes playing a triple-concentric straight (soprano) saxophone, that plays in 3-part harmony, it's a lovely tune. He puts it down, I pick it up and play a little dittie (Happy Birthday?) and end on a very high note (fingering like recorder?), I think should I suck in my spit? I put it down a bit embarrassed about getting my slobber all over the mouthpiece.

We have that in common, "Music non-lucid's!" I just played "Going Over Jordan" finger style on a decrepit acoustic guitar in a college dorm room with another guy trying to follow on a beautiful new base,, But after spending several years with various bands, musical dreams do not make good dream signs..Then there are the girls, As a road player 1-2 or 3 different girls a night means nothing as a dream sign :

I don't think something we do or did every day make good dream signs

[Signs up for guitar lessons straight away!]

Uhmmmm... I want to summon a black hole, a black bubble explosion comes in stead... The only time I stepped out of earth in a lucid, it was just because of I wanted to teleport somewhere else. I know it was out of earth because of the Sun shining like a star under a black sky... Perhaps if I take some free astrology curses online I will improve my cosmic summonings

I think I better go for the music store...

Out of topic: I don't find the time/space to edit my audio track born in a lucid for the DV video project

Got lucid last night but completely forgot to even think about the tasks... Whoops!

Achieved the advanced task ii I'm happy I'll have the wings, because tomorrow (the 8th) will be exactly two years since I had my first lucid dream.

Here's the past where I do the task:
"I then decided to go to one of the windows, which led to a terrace, and I imagined what a moon rock would look like. A white-greyish rock, the size of a tennis ball and with an uneven surface, appeared and I picked it up. I took a bite. The texture was earthy, as if it were soil (so to speak) and it was bitter in taste. I made a wry face and I put the rock down."

BONUS TASK!! - Fall into a black hole and report your experiences. (Mzzkc)

A couple of days ago after reading this thread a had a very unusual Non-lucid dream.

Then I went searching for the thread where they talked about jumping down a black whole. I gotrealfrustrated when I couldn't find it. Had no memory of why I was asked to jump into a black hole. I asked "search" to give me all threads with "black hole" in it. There seemed to be millions. I gave up thinking I must of dreamt it.

Now it appears because someone posted to it.

I poked it and WOW (!!!) Look at that picture (!!!)

That glorious picture spoke to "Our-Dreaming-Mind". and this non-lucid resulted:

I'm walking around outside. It's sunny. Feels like I'm above Opal Mines here in South Australia,

Now I am aware it's a dangerous place to be. People slip and fall down the many vertical (hidden) mine shafts.

Then there are men or a man. He don't actually speak but he intends I willingly fall down a deep opal mine shaft or I will anyway. I take that as a threat. So I get curious and lift the tin covering a brick well.

It dont look thar scary so I dive head first. It's brite and light brick lined. Falling and the bright tunnel kept turning horizontally sometimes.

Then I gently hit the bottom.

Dry Bones

Later a skull with opal in it. (End of Non-lucid dream)

To me the bones was my past incarnations.

And

The opal skull is my future incanation/s

Thats what my experience of "Falling into a black hole"

Oh

That silent guy who tellepathed to me was not threatening to through me down a black hole if I dont go willingly. He only indicated that "it" (death) was inevitable.

Thanx Mzzkc

The wonderfull picture must have triggered the dream. Incase you haven't noticed, Mzzkc, I am Discociatively Susceptible to pictures and Youtubes. Like in that Film "What Dreams May Come.

Start watching at the 29 minute point where Robbin Williams tries to comfort and reassure his beloved widow, at his grave.

Immediately after that he runs down a "Black Hole" then wakes up inside one of his widows beatiful iol paintings. He is greeted by his long dead dog.

What Dreams May Come is a 1978 novel by Richard Matheson.

The plot centers on Chris, a man who dies then goes to Heaven, but descends into Hell to rescue his wife.

It was adapted in 1998 into the Academy Award-winning film What Dreams May Come starring Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding, Jr., and Annabella Sciorra.

I tried the bonus task twice last night, and also tried to remember FryingMan's song in-dream! The song had already merged with PB Jelly Time in my head IWL, usually ending up as something like "Peanut Butter Dino Hole" haha, and that's what happened in the LD too.
Here are the task parts of the dreams:

Spoiler for dreams:

LD 1: I remembered the black hole task, so I made a black hole appear in the corner of the room. The floor and walls opened up, and I dove into it. My frame rate slowed down and my vision went jolty, like time was slowing down. I felt my body spinning faster and faster as I was sucked into the darkness. I thought I felt myself waking up, but I realised I was just getting psyched out by being surrounded by darkness. I felt secure in the dream now and embraced the darkness and spinning sensations. Then I really did wake up when my dogs barked…

LD 2: I wanted to try the black hole task again to see if anything else would happen. I walked out of the warehouse and looked to the sky. A black hole started swirling in the middle of the sky, in the wavy shape of a circular saw. It was pulling everything within range into it, including the colours from the sky. The black hole grew bigger as the surroundings disappeared. I took a run-up and then flew into the sky towards the black hole. I thought I felt the dreamworld start to rumble a bit, but before I could reach the black hole, I woke up again.

These task's are so simple I can't do them

I tried to cast a line but it wrapped around a dc behind me.

In a lucid dream in one jump i simply jumped to the moon
in my next lucid dream wich is tonight i will drive a 2015 bugatti

Got Advanced II, finally. My dreams have been pretty fragmented lately, but I did manage to keep it together long enough to have this happen.

Spoiler for Advanced II - Eat a moon rock:

I'm in this very cluttered classroom. I think about what the tasks are this month, but the only one I remember is the moon rock one. I look in the closet, expecting to see a moon rock on a shelf. Sure enough, I find a blue box labeled "Moon Rock." How convenient. I rip open the packaging, but instead I find a plastic model of a moon rock that quickly falls into pieces. I search the rest of the room for a moon rock, but to no avail.

I walk out the main door of the classroom and find myself in some guy's living room. He's apparently a friend of mine that works for NASA and is super rich. I mention something to him about moon rocks.
"Yeah, I got plenty in the fridge."
"Wait, you keep them in the fridge?"
"Of course, otherwise they get all soggy and inedible!"
I open his fridge and find the middle shelf absolutely packed with rocks, each about the size of a potato. "You actually eat this stuff? Isn't it like super rare on Earth?"
"Dude, I own a private rocket, I can get more moon rocks any damn time I please."

Fair enough. I grab one out of the fridge and take a bite. It's very close to an ice cube - it has no real taste but it has a definitive crunch like ice. However, while the outside is crunchy, the inside is fairly soft and melts in my mouth like cotton candy (though still without any taste).

Oh boy oh boy, succeeded at Advanced I and Bonus in an absolutely mind blowing LD, maybe best ever. Long, multiple scenes, multiple dream saves, pretty good memory and awareness, saw my recently deceased mother for the first time clearly in a dream (and even better, while lucid!)

Full DJ entry

It was a grand-slam of TOTM situations and attempts (minus fishing).

Spoiler for Basic (I) -- fail:

not even attempt, total failure to recognize the opportunity: I entered a school band room full of musicians sitting on risers with their instruments shortly after getting lucid, but I just called out to the (my instrument) player, had him show me his instrument, and asked his name ("Norman"), and left the room saying I'd be back. (All I had to do was ask them to play something! Argh!).

Spoiler for Advanced (II) fail:

Went outside and thought of TOTM and couldn't remember the cheer. Eventually remembered moon rock. Decided to summon the moon in the sky and reach up and tear a chunk off: looked up in to a beautiful starry (realistic) night sky and watched a satellite or two moving steadily across the expanse, but just couldn't make the moon appear. I hear my mother's voice talking then (perfectly accurate) I want to go and meet with her and stopped trying for the moon.

Spoiler for Advanced I - ride a dino:

After seeing my mother, I go out on the deck and ask my sister to take me to show me where the dinosaurs are (asking DCs to do stuff for me is fast becoming my favorite dream control method). She takes me to the corner of the deck and I look down and see weird beasts walking down the stairs to the backyard lawn. I go down off the end of the deck and mount some small furry thing that I think is actually a movie monster of some sort. I'm a bit concerned about this not counting since I don't think this is a dinosaur. I ride it down the stairs to the lawn. There I imagine and see a medium-sized Trex there battling with a medium-sized King Kong. They're both between 15-20 feet tall: definitely big, but not immense. I jump and land expertly on the back of the T-rex. I imagine a faintly strange beastly odor. I'm sitting fairly high on its back/lower neck, and urge it forward to run up the stairs because I'm concerned about Kong. I urge it and imagine it running really fast, I'm "pushing" it forwards by "pushing on the reins" and it's leaping up the stairs towards the street but it just doesn't get going fast enough to please me, Kong is still chasing. Up on the street Kong attacks and I jump/fall away...

Spoiler for Bonus - enter a black hole:

... and (am in the void? Rub hands for a while, dream is solid), I'm in a garage (childhood home?) exit and turn to the right and there is a large open plaza full of college-aged young people. I try again to remember the full cheer and I again can only remember the 2nd half (advanced) and "...Black Hole! Black Hole! Raa raa Raa!" I've already done one advanced, so why not? I decided to summon a black hole and jump in. I walk forwards a bit to get where the crowd starts, I hold out my hands straight in front of me and pull them apart quickly, imagining a massive black sphere appearing, something big dark and round flashes and disappears. OK, again! (I wonder what the students will think of the black hole!) I put my arms together, pull them apart quickly, and this time a large sphere appears before me which I know is the black hole. Only it's partially reflective mirror-surfaced, which I think is fine because everybody knows that light plays funny tricks around black holes. I dive forwards into it and try to feel the sensations. I don't feel much, after a brief disorientation I find that I'm inside a sphere sort of like a one-way mirror, I can see out but people can't see in. There is a filtering effect looking out like sunglasses. The party is going on all around me in the plaza still and everyone is ignoring me. The black hole is about the same sized inside as outside (about 8-10 feet in diameter, tall enough to stand in). There's a girl standing near the edge of the black hole on the outside and I pull her in (and kiss her?). The dream wavers/I enter a bit of the void and call for a DC to take my hand and pull me out, and "John" does just that, and the dream continues from there...

So all told the cheer I guess should be counted as a success: I remembered 3 out of the 5 items, and successfully performed 2/3. Still frustrating that mostly I remembered the rhythm...

"Something something something (damn!)"
"Something something something (sh!t!)"
"Some thing Some thing damn damn damn!"
haha. Not quite that bad but close at the beginning.

Yow I got the Bonus Totm! Soo happy I managed it - it was after getting lucid in a particularly clear flying dream this morning ; flying over a night time scene of a lively seaside coastal picture, it was gorgeous! But instead of going to walk on the sea as a task I have had in mind I remembered the black hole and shot up into the night sky knowing I was coming head to head with a black hole! There it was zooming towards me and the closer it got the more I felt magnetised and pulled towards it- I was then flying threw the length of it ( never got to the end) reminded me of the worm hole images on tv showing a long deep black tunnel with lots of swirling blackness all around - cool - I woke up soon after

Had another lucid last night, where I was a superhero fighting a guy who was trying to destroy the world with a machine that could generate infinite gravity at a single point. Realized after I woke up that that's basically the definition of a black hole, and that I totally missed my chance.

I did Basic Task i during a long LD last night, here's the relevant part:

Spoiler for concert task:

I heard music playing in the background of the dream, so I decided to follow it to find the source. I walked down the hallway and found Powderfinger (an Australian band) playing a small, private gig in the living room of this house. They seemed to be playing an original dream-song, but with an accurate sound, style and vocals. They also played a real song called "I Don't Remember" (ironic choice, subC! ) I chatted with the band afterwards. They didn't look like the real band members, and I thought the lead singer was really cute. They were very friendly and acted like they knew me, and the lead singer appeared to be my boyfriend in the dream.

Yay wings tonight! I'm still gluing the feathers on

^^ Ah, how basic I taunts me this month! First non-lucids, then lucid and I still miss it standing in a room together with a band! Congrats! I'll get it. 35+ years of orchestral playing means I MUST get it!

I completed Basic ii, Advanced i, Advanced ii and a lucid dare all in one dream last night night! I never remember having so much control in a LD before...

I'm in a field it's just grassy and wide open. I think of the dino task because the environment suddenly feels very prehistoric. There is crazy plants off in the distance..nothing from this time area. The vesions are awesome it felt like I had traveled back in time.

I decided for some reason I want to do the moon task first. I fight like crazy and almost lose the LD trying to make it night time. It finally works and I see the moon. I try to use my lucid powers and pull it closer to earth. It works but it doesn't get close enough to reach. I shoot a laser from my hand and the moon explodes and pieces of moon rock come raining down all over. I pick one up the size of a tennis ball. I take a bite. It's light and crunchy like cereal. Not much flavor but the little bit I got is pleasant like captain cruch almost.

It's much darker without the moon but I can still see ok. I look around I'm sounded by forrest. Dinosaurs are aggresive and they are running around I can hear them. I see one run right past me..it's a raptor. It screamed at me in passing but didn't attack me. This is getting nightmarish but I stay calm. I get down to the ground and army crawl through some bushes. I stay down and wait. I hear a huge dino coming. It doesn't see me in the bushes but I see it and it's a huuge brachiosaurus. It passes by dragging its tail. When the very end of the tail passes I grab it and hang on. It drags me for a ways maybe 50 yards then I let go and roll off because I saw a creek. It never even knew I hitched a ride.

I get off at the creek because I want to do some fishing. It's really dark and creepy but I just get into the water. I walk through the water until I'm waste deep. It's eerily quiet now. I make a pole appear and cast it out. Now it gets loud major disruption in the water. A pissed off crocodile emerged. I hooked it with my line and it was getting aggressive with me. No I can't fight this thing and wake up..I calmly get out of the water and walk away. It follows but doesn't attack. I walk to a different area of the creek and make a homemade fishing line with string a rock and a stick. Long story short I catch normal looking medium sized blue and white fish then I feed it to the crocodile as a reward for not attacking me.

I then walk away and go to complete a lucid dare but that's not relivant here.

That was a really good dream with loads of great visuals. I had a lot of fun with that one
