Thread: Task of the Month for February 2016

Lucid dream; Manipulating furniture - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

So yeah, basic task achieved.

In summary; Went Lucid thanks to being able to breathe thorough a pinched nose. Seriously this RC has yet to fail me. I can't believe how well it's been working. Went outside and looked up at the sky. Saw clouds shaped like Aquaman commanding and army of narwhales. Pretty cool actually.

My Lucid is Losted, The last Lucid Yesterday was Just Jailbait

Did the basic ... here's the relevant bit:

Spoiler for Look at the sky:

Whatever happens before this is lost...
The garden has wooden trellises overhead that are covered in green vines. In a moment of clarity I reach up to touch one of the vines and at the same time decide to become lucid. Through the gaps in the vines the sky is visible. It is a deep rich blue, cloudless.
...

and went on to do a TOTY

Alien Codec Call - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Advanced task attempt. A bit iffy on whether this technically counts as a "phone call" or not, and if things were lined up right at all. Here's the important part:

Spoiler for Important part:

Anyway, I thought again of the TOMTs, cycling through the possible options. Given my vision problems, I knew the phone call one would be the best bet, and began thinking how I'd go on about that, probably feeling around for a phone or something.

And then, surprisingly enough, I heard something ringing. "That's weird", I thought, "where's that even coming from?" Something about this tone sounded familiar. Upon hearing it further, I identified it as the sound cue for Codec calls in Metal Gear Solid. "Nice, how convenient." By instinct, I tapped my right ear, immediately hearing a voice muffled by static.

"Hello?", I asked.

"Wwzzyyxaeu..." Thought it was more static.

I continue. "Is this another planet?"

"...wwwzzzuuy ayeaz awwz zaaxuuuiiieee...?" This droning went on for a while. As I heard more, I could indeed identify someone trying to communicate, someone with a high pitched tone. But, I learned this voice wasn't hindered at all. It's just how it spoke. Like a robot, one that spoke only in "z's" and vowels. In fact, aside from inciting its gibberish much faster, this thing sounded just as WALL-E. It's buzzing tones hinted curiosity. In time, the noise became louder, as if shouting angrily. After a single whooshing beep, the call gets dropped. Either way, this was very amusing.

Got a little concerned on whether I got the TOTM done right or not, so I decided to call again. This time, I tried visualizing an interface to go along with it, one styled as a black and green display as found in the aforementioned game. What I got was far cruder in comparison, seeming like it was made by an amateur flash artist, but I went with it anyway.

A few rings later, the call went through. From the display, I could indeed see I was speaking with something not of this world. This appeared as a generic Grey, one which, for some reason, wore the Cat in the Hat's... hat. Heh, talk about cliche. Anyway, my own profile in the display was left completely blank.

I then tried talking to it once more. "Hello again."

"Wwwuuueee iizzzxxaazz zzzeeee!", it droned. It was obviously not happy. The thing dropped the call yet again. Oh well, good enough for me.

Hi,
Did Basic II and Advanced I last night!
Basically I started with the call to an extraterrestrial ( Bashar from Essassani - a supposed channeled entity) since I was in a room at the moment, but I only got stupid answers from a DC at the other end:

Spoiler for Call to Essassani:

... I remember to do the ToTM. Since I am inside I can't look at the sky, so I try for the call to another planet (I had pre-decided to call to Essassani and speak with Bashar using FryingMan's voice dialing idea). I look in both my pockets (I am wearing a sports trousers) but there is no phone. Then I hear a phone ringing - its in my back bag! I reach and get the bag and in it there is my iPhone. The screen is black but I simply say: I want to speak with someone on Essassani! To my surprise, a male voice answers: Sissassani is not here.....some gibberish and:...here is only color yellow. I say again: I want to speak with Bashar! Voice: ....some gibberish and: not here. I find the door and get outside...

Then, when I got outside, I remembered to look at the sky but all I saw was dark clouds:

Spoiler for look at the sky:

... I find the door and get outside. The image is very clear now and I am at a yard with trees between old-fashioned buildings. I try again and this time I manage to free my left eye from whatever was covering it. I remembered the "look at the sky ToTM" and look up: The sky between the trees is all covered with clouds. Thick grey-purple rain clouds, no clear part of the sky (interestingly, today the sky was exactly like that while yesterday it was clear...). I start walking through the yard... ...

That's it. Not very interesting I suppose but I did it!

Complete (almost) lucid

Ha, I got a short Lucid with a DV'r in it.

2/21/2016
11:00pm I was trying to go to sleep on my left side but woke up on my back and forced my real eyes open and was in a cavern like place with yellowish lighting and thought "Another Lucid already" A quick check of my fingers proved I was right and I saw Two girls between myself and another guy, (I somehow just knew it was "Frying man") I yelled to him "Are these girls for us?"
He replied "I Hope so because I'm taking this one" And as I flew toward the other closer one the whole dream just went poof... Dang

Yowza!

Ok so I did that basic back near the beginning of the month and I kinda forgot to request my wings until just a day or two ago.. so just in case Ophelia or gab or whoever looks here first, here is a gentle reminder to please wing me before the votes are over!~

Thank you!~

I did a WBTB and had the longest LD I've had in a couple of months. I also remembered to try two of the tasks. I got one completed and the other I was working so hard on, but didn't quite finish. I'm going to post the whole thing, but the Orange is the part where I was working on the Tasks.

Lucid Dream:

I was in what was supposed to be my bedroom. I had been trying to do a WBTB but had been interrupted. Someone had woken me up and made me come out of my room. I was feeling a little grouchy. I really wanted to be able to go back to sleep so I could have a lucid dream. It had been a while since I had been so busy, and I thought that this morning would be the perfect time. I walked back into my room. My twin bed was in the middle of a very small room. There were two doors to the right of the bed. One of the doors (the one that I had walked through) was a sliding door that was grey in color. The rest of the room was light blue in color. There was another door near the foot of the bed, also on the right side that was a normal door that was painted white.

I walked around my bed toward the window on the other side of the room. I could see through the sheer curtains that it was already light outside. Quite light. It would be way too late to try to go back to bed now. I felt frustrated.

I looked down at my right hand. I saw that my ring finger was very short and stubby. It was also fat--more like a thumb than a finger. I wiggled my fingers and saw that it bent more to the side than straight over like the other fingers. What a weird ugly hand I had. Why couldn't I be normal like everybody else?

Another girl suddenly came into my room. I don't remember who it was, but my dream self seemed to be comfortable with her in my room. I showed her my hand, wanting sympathy. Her response was to hold up her own hand. She had a pinky finger that was almost exactly like my ring finger. It was also super short and fat.

HEY!

I know what this means. Duh. Why did that take me so long to recognize that I was dreaming??

But that doesn't matter. I'm lucid now. I need to do some Tasks of the Month. Aaaa....what were they again??? Oh yeah. Look at the sky and hand Obama a baby. And something else, but I can't remember. Well, I'll just start with those two and maybe the others will come to me. Where could I find Obama? No--look at the sky first--that's the easy one. Get that one checked off and then work on the harder one.

So I ran over to the window again. I pulled back the sheer curtains and saw that the sky was a beautiful dark blue with layers of white clouds on the horizon. It was completely normal. But that was okay, it didn't have to be weird or anything to be counted. Okay, not bad. I had one task down. Now on to another.

[There is a transition here and a missing piece that I no longer remember.]

I was in a car with a little girl and her mom. Something had gone on with me and the girl. I think we must have been talking about lucid dreaming. Her mom didn't seem to happy with it. I had been telling the girl to look at the sky so she could do the Task too. The mom didn't want her girl to try to do any "Task". I then made eye contact with the girl and motioned for her to do the "finger through palm" Reality Check for her mom, so her mom would understand that we were lucid dreaming and this was all okay.

I watched as the girl told her mom to look at her hand. She placed her finger on her palm and slowly pushed it though. The mom's eyes got big as the finger slowly came out the back side. I smiled and shugged my shoulders a little when the mom looked back at me.

[Another transition and missing time here.]

I was now flying over a beach. I looked out over the water and could see some very large waves coming in. I saw a crowd standing on the shore. I flew to them and warned them about the waves. I told them that since this was a lucid dream that they all had the power to fly away. I showed them how I was flying and how it was possible. I then grabbed the hands of two young girls and started flying. I didn't wait and see if anyone else flew away too.

The girls were a bit heavy. I told them that they could help us fly better. I told them to kick their legs like they were swimming. And so they did, and at that point we flew so much faster and higher.

We flew for a while and I noticed that I was now in a building. I wanted to do something else. I saw a woman below me that I knew was the girls' mother. I landed and let go of the girls and immediately started flying again. I tried to think of something to so. I saw a guy below me. I wondered if I should kiss him. But as soon as I got close he said very firmly, "No--You won't be kissing me!" Wow, that had never happened before. Usually Dream Characters like me to kiss them--or are at least indifferent. Alright then, fine--I don't want to kiss anybody that doesn't want to be kissed. I would find something else to do.

I flew into another room. There was a younger teenage boy in the room listening to an I-pod. He was too young to kiss. But I realized that his I-pod could give me the opportunity to do another task I had wanted to do. I wanted to listen to a new song from my favorite band Angels and Airwaves--something that they hadn't written yet--something that my mind made up that would sound like them.

I asked the boy to share his I-pod with me for a few minutes. He was okay with that. The boy's mom was then there by him and asked if I was going to play love songs. I could tell that she would not be happy unless I was playing love songs. I told her that Angels and Airwaves had quite a few songs that could be considered love songs. I then started to sing the song Breathe by them: "Don't you know, that I love you..." See, that was a love song. And then suddenly Daniel was behind me and started to sing the words to "True Love" by them. Yes, thank you Daniel for supporting me.

We had them convinced. I looked at the I-pod and decided that the best thing to do was to just expect the song to be there and to push play. But like most devices in dreams it was super confusing.

I couldn't tell how to make it work. I finally got it to play music, but it didn't sound like Angels and Airwaves at all. How disappointing. This would be the third time I had tried this goal and failed. I tired several more times and had no luck. Why was this goal so difficult for me?

I noticed that we weren't alone in the room anymore. A group of saxophone players had come in to the room. Their jazz band was starting to play music of their own. I tried to ask if they would stop while I tried one more time. But they continued to play.

Well, I at least got music. Just not the music I had wanted.


[There is another transition here.]

I was back a the beach. I knew I needed to get on with the Task of finding Obama so I could hand him a baby. As I flew over the people on the shore I scanned it for our president. But a young beautiful black woman held up her arms and waved me down. I knew she wanted to go flying with me. I flew down and grabbed her arm and together we flew back up into the air. I decided to ask for her help. Sometimes dream characters can be very helpful.

I told her I was trying to find President Obama. Did she know where I could find him. She said yes, she could help me. She pointed down to the shore. Below us I saw an older black man who was dressed in a dark suit. He stood out from all the others on the beach who were wearing swim suits. He was not Obama but looked to be a security guard of some sort.

We landed next to him and the girl started talking to him. She obviously knew this man. She told him that I needed to meet Obama so I could complete my Task. He looked at me with a little bit of a skeptical look. But the girl told him that this was my dream. That's why we had been flying. This would be okay. Could he please help me.

The security guard softened a bit at that point. He told me he wasn't supposed to do this, but he handed me his phone and said I could call the president. I looked at the phone. I had no idea how to use it. I handed it back and asked for help. The man pushed a few buttons and soon the phone was ringing. He handed it back to me.

"Hello?" President Obama answered. Gulp. What do I say? But I just spit it all out-- I was trying to complete my Task of the Month and I really needed to meet him so I could hand him a baby. He paused and then told me he was in the middle of eating a pizza. I told him I really needed him to do this. Again, he said he was busy--that he had other things to do that were way more important.

At this point I decided to lie. I told him that this Task was extremely important to do as well. That if he didn't do this something horrible would happen to the world. This was actually a life and death situation.

He then sounded like he would consider meeting me.

But at that point I woke up.

I had two immediate thoughts; I was so disappointed that I hadn't finished that Task. I also had a huge wave of panic as I realized that I had come to the end of an extemely long lucid dram and I wasn't sure I could remember all of it. I grabbed a piece of paper and started writing down key words:

Room, Hand, Girl

Sky

Car, Girl, Mom, Finger thru Palm

Etc

I finished my list. Phew. I was happy that I had remembered most of what happened apart from a few transitions.

And then I woke up. For real.

There was no list. Aaa, I would have to do it again. But I realized that it came pretty easy this time because I had written it all out in my dream. That wasn't the first time I had done this.

A bit late but still better than never , the basic ii:

Ah! I've done this (FA, write down LD and then wake up and do it again) many, many times... and yes, its easy to do it again, dream writing helps...
Nice LD btw!

Thanks!

I've also noticed if I'm having an extra long LD and I'm afraid I'll start to forget, I start making a conscious mental list and it helps a lot-- just like writing. I find it interesting that little tricks like that can be a big help when you wake up.

That's awesome, I do that too when the LD is super long. I'll chain key words together while still in the LD and it helps me remember more dream when I wake up. It's like my LDing mind is a penpal for my waking mind

Exactly!

I think she has it set to private.

Woot. Advanced Task done. Too bad it's so late in the month.

Disneyland, Lucid Dream, Advanced Task, Jason Todd - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

"I remember the challenge where I have to walk though the wall in my room and see where I end up, but when I do it I end up outside my house. I then jump back into my room through my window by flying up to it and try it with a different wall because I remembered the challenge saying I have to go to another dimension or it wouldn't count. I kept trying to go through another wall in my room, but this time I couldn't go straight through it. I tried narrating that I would go through the wall since narrating usually helps, but I had to slide to the side and then back in order to pass through it. On the other side I was in a blue room filled with older men and I was surrounded with like a history of America. I remember seeing the date 1500 and thinking about how America wasn't founded that early."

Wow, I've been so busy lately! Sorry about the Grammar.

Spoiler for Bask II Task of Month :

• When did you go back to bed? Activity upon wbtb? Wrote in my DJ/ then went to bed.

Basic Task ii: Lucid dream Task Of The Month: I recall that it was summer in my dream. it is dead of winter here so, that this is where I knew that I was dreaming. I knew that I need to do the TOTM. I had a dream that I was outside and I recall looking up at the sky. I remember seeing a plane appear out of nowhere behind the trees. I was watched helplessly as the plane crashed into my parent's field. It was a four engine prop plane. I recall watching it circle the farm house a few times and then it crashed or it more like fell out of the sky. It didn't burst into flames right away, though. I ran to save people and call 911. I didn't save everyone, though.

Spoiler for Advanced II task of the month- Gory watch out:

• When did you go back to bed? Activity upon went back to bed? Wrote in my DJ and then I got up for a moment and then went to bed.

Lucid Dream TASK OF THE MONTH Advance task II: I recall that I was in my room. I recall that I was there with Jason Ritter, Brian Booth, Kevin and my niece Alyssa Ready. She looked about 7 in this dream, she is in her 20's. Anyways, I remember that I told Alyssa about Jason Ritter who voices Little Dipper in "Gravity Falls". I also noticed that Jason was really tall, as tall as 8 feet tall and my niece and I were very short.
Then I asked Jason if he ever had a lucid dream before. For some reason, he wanted to leave. So I told him, "Don't Go!!" I explain all that I know about a lucid dream, including how to confirm that you are in fact that you are dreaming.
I recall showing him by looking at my hand and telling him that if you Look down at your hands. Hold them close to your face. Take your time when looking at your hands. You should not be thinking about what is happening in the dream world, just look at your hands. Do not rush. Know that the more attention you give to your hands, the clearer your dream is going to be when you stop. If you become excited to begin your lucid dream and rush this step. Know that you are doing a disservice to yourself. Look at the wrinkles on your hands. Look at the little hairs. Turn them over, examine the other side. When I did this I saw that my hand were all distorted and such. This is when I knew that I was dreaming and I began to float. At this time, he got scared and ran off.
Then I turned intangible and walked thru a wall to a hallway and I came to a door that was wide open, there sat on the floor was Lindsay Lohan. This is when I remember making a knife appear out of nowhere and I stabbed Lindsay DC in the neck and cut her head off. It was weird there was no blood, her head turned into a purple cabbage or something like an eggplant? Then it melted. I think she was some kind of creature/ bio-robot or a cyborg? Whatever it was it was not human.
At this point, I remember that I tried to walk thru the wall but, I didn't turn intangible and I walked right into a wall. "Ahherrrr!" I recall that I needed to re-stabilizing my lucid dream by Hand my Rubbing together and then I started to float again and flew right thru the wall. Then I went to the dining room and this is when I noticed that there was another Lindsay Lohan there. It was her doubleganger. Then I took another knife and stabbed her in the neck but, this time, she screamed as I cut her head off but, there was no red blood? It was like a muddy shitty liquid that came out of her neck. "What The Hell?"
Then I looked up and saw my friend Brian Booth who was at the window with this a gun, with a silencer on it. He was looking rather scary. Then I noticed that there were two of them. Then I killed him. with an invisible sword. This is when the real Boothy came over and hugged me.
Then I woke up.



Woke up.

Completed Basic Task II (Double Wings for a day)

2/26
6:00pm I was working on a motorcycle in a barn and flew down the driveway to look for a store to buy cigarettes and looked both ways on the highway and all the stores were closed and as I started back up the hill there was a house on my left with two girls digging holes down beside the footing and thru it to a shallow sand floored basement with a little girl digging her toes in the sand and the one naked girl with her boobs hanging down the hole in the ground said to the other "This softens my eggs" And the other girl replied "You dumb shit" And we all started laughing so hard I almost woke up then realized I was dreaming, Then I remembered I had a pack of smokes in my truck back up the hill and as I flew up I noticed it looked like rain and remembered the sky task and looked up at the sky and it was cloudy with moon light shining thru and the wind started blowing the trees around looking like a bad storm was coming and I thought "This looks bad, I better get my truck and get those girls" After I got to the truck and started back down the hill the dream scene changed to the same drive way but no house or girls and I was looking for a tailgate for my truck but that's another whole dream...
Never give up

Woohoo!! Way to get it in the last minute woblybil!

Also, Feb has 29 days this year. Just FYI to all ya'll.

Thanks for the wings at 4 am, I saw you lurking out there about 3:00 am, It's no wonder you never get any sleep

So now I'll tell the rest of the story..
After not finding the girls or house and hunting for a tailgate for the truck I turned right onto the left side of the highway.
(It may have been in Spain, It was mountainous and driving was on the left) There was a guard rail beside the road with a scree slide below spilling over a cliff. I had only started when the traffic backed up to a stop and I needed to pee so I paddled back down the road and there was an old truck box halfway down the slide, I paddled down the slide and hid behind it and started, At first just down the remaining rock slide and out over the cliff and suddenly it blew out into a spray like a power wash forcing me back against the box and just then a man in a green uniform like maybe the Burgermeister stepped around the corner and said "That's quite a spray you have there" And I replied "Yeah'n that's only the wash cycle, You ought to see what I can do on rinse" Then I started to realize I was in bed and thought "Uh-Oh" I woke completely up and got up and ran to the bathroom and thankfully the bed was dry as the Mojave
