Last night, in the most successful night of lucid dreaming I've ever had, I completed both basic tasks.
Spoiler for Basic I Dream:
I was watching K play a video game that was like a combination of Tetris and a side-scroller. The game had an urban setting. He scrolled too far to the side and lost track of his character, and then I found myself in the game looking for the character. I was on a ledge with some sheds below it. I could see the night sky on the side with the sheds, except it had the Earth in in instead of the moon. When I looked away from the Earth and looked back there were two Earths, and when I did so again there was a whole row of Earths, some of which were misshapen. This made me realize I was dreaming. I wanted to go toward the Earths, but when I did I found myself in a room where the Earths were all sculptures attached to a white wall several meters up. I tried to jump and fly up to them, but I could not fly when I tried, so I tried thinking that I was in a setting with rocket boot technology and that I was wearing rocket boots. While this still did not fully allow me to fly, it did let me jump high enough to grab onto one of the sculptures. There was a sculpture of a dog on top of it. While I was doing this, I noticed that C was in the room with me. I let go and fell back to the floor. There was also another woman there who told me that I had to wake up because I was going to be late for class. She took me into an office on the left side of a hallway that led out of the room and away from the wall. She showed me a whiteboard that said that it was currently 10:10 a.m. and that I had lab at 10:30 (neither of these was true--it was actually about 7:00 a.m., and I don't have lab at 10:30 on Saturdays). However, I believed her, and I said that maybe if I though about something abstract enough I would wake up. She agreed and started to leave. As she was leaving, I remembered Basic Task I and asked "What would a good Task of the Month be?" She said, "That would work," apparently misinterpreting my question as a suggestion of an abstract thing I could think about to wake myself up. I followed her as she started going up a staircase, and she followed up her previous statement by saying "S did something like that." I woke up before I could explain that the question was for her, not me.
Spoiler for Basic II Dream:
I was in my college's dining commons sitting next to R. When I turned away and then looked back, R turned into T. It suddenly started hailing hailstones so large that they broke the skylights and got water on the floor and tables. I went looking for R in a different part of commons, and thinking about the strange manner in which she disappeared caused me to become lucid. The scene then changed to one in which I entered a building and decided to explore it. I could hear loud, bassy music playing in one room, so I went into that room. As I went in, the music stopped. In the room were some people playing Magic. One of the people playing was A, and I could see that some of his cards were Pokemon cards being used as proxies. I left the room, going back the way I had come and down the other half of a fork in the hallway. I came to an industrial-looking door, and when I went through it I found myself in a passageway with a ceiling so low that I had to crawl. The passageway went through a restroom before ending in a door to the outside. I stepped outside into an alternate version of campus. I saw my professor J, who turned into my other professor D as I walked toward him. I remembered Basic Task II, and made myself pretend to laugh hysterically. As D became increasingly confused I started actually laughing. While I was doing this, I saw a bunch of bees on the ground between us. I finished laughing and went off to explore campus more. Right before I woke up I saw one of my friends run past in an outfit made of leaves.
Is it too late for me to vote on next month's lucid tasks?
