Dang. Missed another fire/ice attempt. Here's the relevant snip:
Spoiler for More Fire and Ice Attempts:
The visuals were dim. I assumed I was somewhere at home, standing in one of the more widened spaces, the dim blue light of dawn seeping throughout the area. From the start, I retained awareness of my state.
Knowing my previous setbacks, I moved on to another task, this time, the fire and ice TOTM. As I looked at my opened right hand, I imagined flames sprouting from the palm. Bright light sprang forth, and with it, a wave of unseen electric energy passed and quaked through my arm. Wonderful, but not what I'm looking for.
I then raised my left, and imagined a sheet of ice surrounding it. Instead, I got that very same light again, and that trembling force along with it. Couldn't understand why this was happening. Anyway, I focused on both at the same time, with even more light erupting, enough to clearly brighten the room for a brief second before dimming back again.
From there, I got too obsessed with accomplishing this. I focused more and more, only to bring more of that light on my hands. Eventually, I lose track of myself, transitioning the scenery instantly. Unfortunately, I don't know what else happened until I awaken in bed.

Hey there,
managed to get lucid this morning after a longer disturbance by bedmate who needed to go to work (me not bäh ). focused on bonus task. shortly before awakening i remembered basic II. will attempt them later this month.
Spoiler for Bonus Task:
i get lucid at a trainstation. cant tell why. i leave a building and am shortly confused left or right. i go right because i kind of remember "this is the way i always go" i throw some drumsticks at a guy approaching... and remember bonus task. i try fire but it wont work. i go around the corner, jump on a lantern and think hey i could try to teleport by jumping thru the ground. i jump down, close my eyes right before impact and dont notice the ground but fall thru. i get no visuals first and thought i might awake but lay still. after some time i "open" my eyes and find myself in my own home. dont remember if in bed or i think in the living room. after some seconds i think ah this is probably a FA and even if the nosepinch does not work because my nose is plugged i nevertheless know it is still a dream. i go into the kitchen where my mum is i think. i want to do fire again but again it wont work. okay so i start with lightening. i do someo noises because i know it helps and i see some weak lightning between my fingers. i point at a ball and some effects are seen on the ball. somehow i seem to connect lightning with magnetism because the ball starts to float while it flashes between my hand and the ball. i decide to use ice now. i point at the ball on the table and like a very chilly wind the ball and the table around gets cold and crystals appear. i point my hand on my other hand and i see some freezing effects and it feels cold (but not too cold). i again try fire for some times but it wont work. after some time i manage to turn my hand and just expect fire and like i would have a burning fluid in my hand a small and weak fire is burning in my hand. it feels warm but not too hot again. i throw it away but nothing starts burning. i leave the room and try to throw some fireballs but i just throw buring liquid that appears in my hand but didnt ignite. after some attempts one oft he liquids starts to burn by itself. i think thats enough now and think about other goals. i remember to ask a DC what it´s best dream was. i try to go again to the kitchen. the vision gets altert there are two doors right next to each other. both are open but something looks wrong. i move trhu one and the vision changes even more. i stay relaxed and it gets normal. i see my mum again after i called for her and want to ask her but awake. i dont try a deild because it feels enough. i look at my watch and good enough: 1min before the alarm would ring
Completed Advanced Task I
3/10
4:30pm, In an afternoon lucid nap I Started out in a void and just for kicks yelled out in the void "Hey Dream, I need my dream guide now" (Nothing) After a minute a sign started to appear saying "Sinaso" It was on a low building with a canopy like an old gas station and had a wire fence in the middle under it, I went under the canopy as far as the fence and yelled again, "Hey Dream, I'm ready for my Dream Guide now" And a not too bad looking woman came down on the other side of the fence so I said "There's this fence, Come over here". She melted right thru the fence to my side, I said "This is my dream so you are mine" and she replied "Oh-No you don't" And went back thru the fence and out the other side and began to grow taller until all I could see was her feet below the canopy then even the feet went up above . Then I noticed a vent pipe about 2 feet diameter and 2 feet long sticking out of her side of the building and what looked like pink Dildo the size of the pipe pushed out a ways and a giant hand reached down and grabbed it and pulled it out maybe twenty feet long with a loud "Schloop" and everything disappeared above, I started laughing so hard I hung onto the fence to keep from falling down and cackled until it woke me up wondering "WTF? ...
What's with these Dream Guides?"
I am at a busstation. it is dark and i am waiting for the bus. have some problems to read the busplan. i use my phone for light but its not bright enough. i change it and now i see the bus should come now. it is 10:15 pm. i have a big backpack which i put on the side of the busstation. i move some meters away to see if the bus is coming and i see some lights. i move back to my backpack but a thief is doing his work there. i yell and he runs away. damn i think... run after him or stay? i decide to go to my backpack and another dude is there i run to him and he runs away (thru the busstation?!) i check my back and see if something is missing and yes in my wallet they took the money and my bank card. i am a little sad but somehow manage to stay calm. this was just around 50€ and the bank card i can block. so shit happens. i remember thinking about not to let my backpack alone but i thought hey noone here and who steals a heavy backpack?! suddenly its bright day and i start wondering. wait this is a dream. i do a noseplug and i can breath. i somehow have something dry in my mouth i dont finish eating it but just spit it out. first thing i decide is to lift a very heavy construction truck. i step on the street and one is driving right in my direction. i notice that he wont stop that fast so i step aside and jump on it. i shake it around on the side until it falls over. i lift it with not to much effort and try to trhow it up on a roof of a building. i dont have enough strength and it bounces on the fall smashes down on the ground and is completely wracked. i remember basic II and move thru the street. its night again and there are some people. i think a party is somewhere near. i approach an older guy and ask him: "what is your favorite joke.... eh dream?" he says he dont understand. i ask again "what is your favorite joke...damn i mean dream" he somehow gets confused and pissed at the same time and says something like "i dont need to bother with this shit" and moves away. i stay there for a second thinking.... okay not JOKE but DREAM. i look around for another guy who looks pleasant. i see a dude in my age and ask him " hey dude you look relaxed, let me ask you a question: What was your favorit dream so far?" "he answers "oh thats not that easy...i am a "pharopticer"" i dont understand and ask him "a what?" "a pharopticer. i am a epicure. i enjoy scary dreams. like with spiders" while he says that he moves on. i again stand there and try to remember his words. strange... i think. okay i move back in the street and notice my vision starts to vanish. i pass a room or shop with loud music. i think yea thats a good way to overcome thevoid and step inside yelling something, hearing the music to overcome the lack of sight. i start seeing fractals. i start to overthink because it feels like my eyes are closed. sooo.... do i need to open them again to see? or will i see thru my closed eyes? and awake...
And here's the breakdown of the portions relevant to the TOTM. The first dream guide I didn't like, so I dismissed her:
Spoiler for First guide:
"I'm ready for my dream guide!" I shouted. I've never had a dream guide before, so I had no expectations. I shouted a few more times until a woman showed up. She was of hefty build, with straight shoulder-length dark hair, and looked to be in her late forties. On the right lapel of her uniform-like black jacket, resembling that of a hotel clerk (or more to the point, a tour guide) was a name tag reading "RUSH." There was something very blank and bureaucratic about her demeanor that immediately put me off.
"Take me on a tour," I instructed.
"A Grand Tour?" she asked. Lately I've been reading about the Grand Tours eighteenth-century travelers would take in Italy, so I assumed this was merely waking life residue.
"Take me on a tour of Hogwart's," I proposed instead.
The woman must not have understood, because she started saying things about temperature and time that sounded like the details of a technical process—brewing coffee, I guessed. I was getting impatient.
"This isn't working out," I told her. Perhaps I should have been more patient, but she reminded me of one of those blank, automaton-like DCs that never have anything interesting to say. I turned my back and walked away, determined to try again.
The second dream guide looked surprisingly familiar, but made a better first impression:
Spoiler for Second guide:
"I'm ready for my dream guide!" I resumed shouting, trying to muster a sense of optimism. Nothing changed at first, but I persisted, shouting about five times before another figure drew my attention. He was a short brown-haired man standing next to a bar, gazing at me with a slightly amused expression. As I walked over, I was startled to see that he was the spitting image of Michael J. Fox. This perplexed me, because I have no particular attachment to that actor, nor did I recall having encountered his image recently in waking life. I remembered that in WL he had developed a terrible disease and I couldn't remember if he was still alive. This DC looked like the younger version of him from the 1980s or '90s, and his cheerful confidence created much more favorable impression than the last DC.
"Are you my dream guide?" I asked uncertainly. He replied with something casual, along the lines of, "If you want me to be."
"Let's give it a try," I said. "First, take me somewhere beautiful. Then, take me somewhere that I will find interesting." Since I'd never had a dream guide before or thought much about their proper role, now I was acting on the assumption that their job was to give me tours. In retrospect that's kind of funny.
I like the rare DCs that show a bit more initiative than most; this one even proposed a new mode of travel:
Spoiler for Traveling:
We walk right to the edge of a wide shallow lake. I realize we'll probably need to travel somewhere by a means other than walking, and let him know I'm familiar with some basic methods: "How are we going to get there? I can spin and teleport, if you like. And I know how to fly."
He offers another possibility: "See that brown line?" He points to somewhere behind us. I look back, and without thinking about it we automatically start rising into the air and drifting toward a brown line that runs across the grass of the lawn. "That's where we'll transition," he explains. We start gliding toward it, and sure enough, a moment later we are flying across a completely different scene.
He very effectively fulfilled my request to see both something "beautiful" and something "interesting":
Spoiler for Dream tour:
The previous landscape was park-like, but we emerge higher in the air over a vast landscape. Distant hills, distinctive coloring, shades of red in the earth and sky. Everything becomes a bit clearer. "Okay, this is beautiful," I acknowledge aloud. He's definitely succeeded in the first task I set him.
We drift closer to the ground and I notice an odd detail: an enormous fence of thick horizontal wires strung between vertical poles that must be at least 50 feet high, stretched across a valley between two steep hills. There are only a few of the wires, maybe eight, strung in pairs of two. It would be no barrier for a person at all, or any earthly creature—it's so big it doesn't even obstruct the view—but then I see what it is keeping in. They look like giant green mantis-like creatures, clearly insectoid, but enormous. Despite the monstrosity of the creatures, the enclosure reminds me of a nature reserve. Are the fences for our protection, or theirs? Perhaps both.
I think about how my second instruction to my guide had been to take me somewhere interesting, and it would certainly be interesting if one of those things got out! However, I decide not to vocalize my thoughts or deliberately influence the course of events, instead waiting to see how things will play out.
One of the creatures catches sight of us and scuttles over, moving with astonishing rapidity for its size. It crosses several hundred yards in a matter of seconds. It pushes against the fence, snapping at us with its mandibles. It has surprisingly long reach and the wires of the fence are being bowed out by the weight of its body—they hold, but we have to dart away very quickly to avoid the initial attack. I realize the safest course is to fly directly upward, well out of its reach, in case the fence breaks. I can feel my adrenaline pumping and have to admit, that was definitely an interesting experience.
Abruptly the environment changes and we are back in a room that I think I recognize from earlier in the dream—but way earlier, the NLD sequence before I even got lucid. I realize the dream is ending, but I'm very pleased with how well this dream guide was able to fulfill my requests. "Can I meet you again?" I ask. His acquiescence is as casual and noncommital as when I first asked him to be my guide.
A lot of good tasks to created! I decided to focus first on one I've been meaning to do anyway (dream guide) and combine it with one of my personal goals (dream healing). It may be boring to read but I quite enjoyed it! I read up on the tasks days ago but just got around to doing this a few days ago but haven't been on DV to post it until now. Not 100% sure if it counts as a successful completion per the task but interested to also do the other tasks and may do this one again.
Spoiler for Non-lucid beginning, semi-lucid moment:
Inspired to try incubation for real and looking especially for a lucid dream, I got one! I am driving along a country road in a tropical area not unlike our Hawaii trip and it seems like it's a road that I'm familiar with but I've never come in this back way and I know my wife wouldn't want me to go that way it looks pretty bumpy a dirt road so I turn around to try to find the way we came in the first time and I come to a fork in the road when I see this Fork it's as if I already realize I'm Dreaming because I think about it as a metaphor in addition to trying to remember which way back. I use the fork to the right but with more practical thinking I wonder if the one to the left was a better choice as the one to the right may veer away from the entrance that we normally come in on at the main road where as the one to the left would most definitely hit it but it may be a longer route. I continue down the path and at some point I run into couple of people and kind of wave at them but keep going in case they are trouble. I make another turn and it seems like they're even closer
Spoiler for lucid TOTM dream guide:
so I decide to face them and I look down and it's a little boy and I fully realize that I'm dreaming. I look at him and put my hand on his head and realize that maybe he's a representation of me but I talk to him ask him some questions I don't remember and another person comes out from this little boy's house I assume him to be the father figure in the dream scenario and I look up at him and introduce myself and ask him for his name. He says his name is John and I think John, why John if he's a representation of me and I have some ideas about that later. And then I remember my goal to do the task of the month and I use my memory tool it was number 3 on the list, 3 looks like a butt so I start saying get off my butt and what? I am, I am what was it? I am ready for my dream guide. A presence presents itself in front of me and slightly to the left but there is no visual other than some disturbance in the visuals where he is standing. I wonder if this somehow represents my belief that a dream guide is basically yourself, tapping into some deeper hidden abilities. I asked him if you can find me someone to heal my back in the dream. I then feel 2 vague hands grab my arms and direct my hands back over my back and I feel some warmth on my back and have at least the idea of some healing light going on back there and I feel blissful and close my eyes and I find this great peaceful spot but can't help but at the same time wondering if I made a mistake by closing my eyes. I continue in the void, although this dark space feels different and feels very peaceful not that the void isn't peaceful it just feels different this time. I continue like this for a while and feel myself smiling with my whole dream body and inch my way back towards wakefulness, almost as if that is what I wanted. I did wake up with quite a good feeling in my back and the ankle pain related to the back, both felt nonexistent when I woke but I'm assuming it won't last like last time but perhaps if this can work on a long-term basis it takes more expectation on my part.
I had a lucid dream Saturday Night where I completed the Bonus Task (and another false Task):
I did an unintentional WBTB where I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep and finally drifted into dream mode. I sitting at a table with Marie, my best friend from high school. I was already lucid and remembered that I really wanted to do a Task of the Month. I was trying to remember what they were. I knew there was one where I had to ask a DC a question. Why was I having such a hard time remembering--I had recently done this one. But I thought it would be fun to do it again with my friend.
Finally I decided that Task was to ask a DC what was their favorite thing to do in a lucid dream. That sounded right. (Obviously it wasn't right, but now in retrospect, it's nice to have done something a little different since I had done the real Task already.)
So I said to Marie, "Tell me what you like to do in your lucid dreams?"
She suddenly perked up at the mention of lucid dreams, "Ahh, lucid dreaming...that's where I like to fly and do flips in the air."
As soon as she began to talk I suddenly remembered that Task about making fire and ice.
"That's cool." I quickly said to her. And then said, "You can also do this in lucid dreams."
I held out my hands. Unlike my dream where I had done this previously, I held each hand in a separate cupped position. I concentrated on making a fire. First, an orange glow appeared in each hand. I concentrated harder. I wanted flames. Soon I started seeing some detail. But something was odd. I could now see waving orange and yellow flames, but they looked like a cartoon fire. This was quite different than my other recent experience with making fire.
I thought about trying to make the flames look more real. But then suddenly, the flames felt hot. Very hot. That was different as well. I extinguished the flames quickly.
Now I needed to make ice. With my hands still cupped separately I concentrated on forming some ice. Soon I saw two shapeless white blobs form in my hands. I knew it was supposed to be ice. But it wasn't very good ice. It didn't even feel cold. I saw that I was close to a freezer. I walked to the freezer and opened it. Inside I saw some ice cubes sitting there in an otherwise empty freezer. I told myself that ice looked like that. So I needed to try again--this time with a good example in front of me that I could model. Within seconds I had exact copies of the ice cubes in my hands. I had done it.
With the Tasks done I decided to find a way outside and fly and decide what else I wanted to do. I often make decisions while I'm flying.
I saw a large open window and flew out. I thought about what Marie had said about doing flips in the air. It had been a very long time since I had done dream flips. I suddenly really wanted to do some. I first tried a front flip. It felt so real as I did it. I tried a back flip next. That one felt really nice. Just a touch of dizziness while the world turned all around me. I did it again. And again.
Then I noticed that I was on a college campus. I looked down and saw a food stand. This stand had several different kinds of licorice.
I love licorice. I reached for a package of black licorice. But before I could eat it I woke up.
Anyway, it was pretty interesting to see how differently things can turn out while doing the same task. (I posted my previous dream where I made fire and ice a few posts above.)
I then allow the flames to eat up my hands,I watch on as my hands disintegrate and melt into drops - dripping on the floor. Later I have my hands back and imagine ice in my hands ; soon long icicles grow from the palms of my hands -
That's really cool. I had a goal several years ago to see if I could burn off my hands and then to re-grow them. But when I tried to do it, the fire felt so hot and real that I only got as far as my fingernails turning black and smoldering before I had to stop. Sometimes fire is really hot in my dreams. Other times it feels like nothing. This time it happened to be painfully hot. I haven't tried it since. But your dream makes me want to try again.
i have to admit i am a little jealous of you guys calling "just like that" your dreamguides. i dont know if i made it myself a problem to thinking a dreamguide is something awesome and special you cant just like that call him... but with you it seems so simple @verre and fogelbrise. cool results you have there. i tried it tonight again with medium success...^^
@twoshadows:
cool idea with the fridge and having a model to work with. i sometimes have too the problem that something dont looks right even though i "know" how it should look like but just cant morph it right
Spoiler for Completed Advanced I:
i am in an (unknown?) city. i move thru a street and suddenly recognize passage of my old or actual city. i move around and somehow some dude is next to me (competitor?) i run and start flying and get lucid the moment i fly. i remember the task and land again. not far away is a broken train tunnel. i call in that direction " i am ready for my DG" and expect to happen something there. the dude is still next to me and starting to bother me. i see a taxi coming out of the tunnel and parking there. i approach the taxi and the dude is following me. i try to kill him.... i turn his head with the aim to break him but his head feels flexible. nevertheless he is down on the ground and i quickly get into the cab. the cab is super small like a clowns car i need to be careful not to smash my head somewhere. i close the door and ask the driver to go fast because i dont want to get dragged out by the dude outside he drives into the traintunnel and we reach a door? bar or something. i get out and pay him 47 dollar for a pretty short distance but who cares right? on the opposite side of the bar sits a homeless guy who smiles at me. i shortly think if it is the guy i try to left behind? i enter the bar and approach a guy but wake up. i somehow feel like i done my task and see no need to deild back.... after some seconds i notice that i practically didnt accomplish anything again... just riding around and slowly loose awareness :/ but nevertheless it was kind of cool^^
i will try this task again. i really want to meet a DG for some time now and maybe i just need to be more relaxed and dont expect to much or something.... will see
That's really cool. I had a goal several years ago to see if I could burn off my hands and then to re-grow them.

Thanks TwoShadows Yes I too really loved doing this task and the way it went and am keen to work with this idea again too to see how it could go another way! Maybe I might feel some hotness too as its so true that each time trying things can be so different ... I guess depending on so many things todo with what's going on for ya at that moment I find it all so magical ( even when it's boring or bad it's not the ordinary boring or bad) and utterly exellent
It's been great watching you all doing the dream guide calling - I gotta get on that one myself can't wait to see if it's the same guy who turned up a couple of times befor when I called out. By the way I got this idea from Sivason's DJ or post ... Can't remember exactly
Love ya's!

Love ya's!
Yeah'n thats not all I yelled out "Hey Dream, I'm ready for my dream guide" And it worked so last night I yelled "Hey Dream, I want food" and got a buffet and I think most anything I normally conjure or spin up is available just by asking for it..
Hi everyone,
So, I had an amazing lucid yesterday night and after flying and enjoying myself for a while, I remembered to do - and I did - Advanced II and half the bonus task
Spoiler for Advanced II:
...I then remember to do a ToTM. I think of the Fly over the ocean. I look arround to see the ocean but I can’t. Its getting dark again and I am in the country side, buildings are far away at the horizon, but no ocean. I float up and I see that behind the buildings, there is the ocean. I start flying towards it but have some difficulty reaching it - I am not traveling that fast. At some point I reach the sea and I am flying at low height above the see. The see is shallow and there are big black and white pebbles visible in the water.
Workers are all over the place with their feet in the water, dressed in black.
Some are working, some are dancing, dome are doing acrobatics. There are also ships and trucks (halve in the water) among the workers. I fly higher and increase speed, and gradually its totally dark. I keep flying and imagine the sunrise. After a while I begin to see a faint blue line in the horizon. I am still over the see and its starting getting bright again. The image starts to get a strange feeling - somewhat extra-real and I can now see the end of the ocean. I reach now at the other side and its like a surreal painting of Salvador Dali (it looks familiar from some painting).
I land there and realize I am on a skate of sorts. I skate between the sculpture-like, surreal things (its like a park with statues and exhibits, but surreal, like a painting)...
Spoiler for Fire - Bonus:
...I remembered the fire-ice bonus task. I put my hands together palm-to palm and imagine fire within. Thick, white smoke comes up and I feel hot inside. I open them and there are flames on my palms.
I am a bit afraid, but its not burning, just very hot. I keep walking into the aristocratic house and thing about the ice part, but the dream starts to de-stabilize..
It was one of my most enjoyable lucids ever!
P.S. I still have wings from last month...so I guess I might be able to do a basic task before they are even removed
"...what we experience is our model of reality, not reality itself. Perception is dreaming constrained by sensory input. So it’s a constrained dream, whereas dreaming is perception free of constraint. What exactly is the difference experientially between the dream and waking state? And you see, it’s the same stuff. It’s all illusion! "Stephen LaBerge
^^ Thanks Patience!
I got the idea from Percy's dream journal.
Used to draw my dreams, but finding close-to-memories images from the net makes the dream more enjoyable to read - and helps me re-live the feeling when I read it again...
P.s. As dream recorders are on their way, I might be able post actual dream footage instead of web pics in the "near" future...

Am in a lovely lucid this morning and started chanting " I am ready for my dream guide" as I flew - flying very close to the ground and the view was terrificly clear. It is very windy, my hair is very long and flying around my face so I hold it in place with one hand and direct flight with the other . I see a lady I know in WL walking somewhat towards me but I remember she always has something to ask of me and I don't want to be burdened by her so I fly away form her and hover then dive into the river running next to our place which has become a huge dark rough sea in this lucid. When I hit the water I wake ...
Next time whoever it is that comes along I will engage with them and remember dream guides can come in the form of anyone and may even morph and change into someone else in front of my very eyes
at some point in this section, i tried doing a dream-views task of the month, of getting on a bus or train and seeing where it takes me. i looked around, but couldn't find one, and then something distracted me--i think then my vision faded, and found myself in bed, as follows.
Bonus Task: (success? depends on interpretation, of whether you need to do ice and fire) (full entry here: 16-03-15_21-10 - Dream Journals)
giving up on that, decide to do something easier, that's none-the-less super useful, for many purposes: using my hands to emit fire, water, ice, lasers, etc. on-demand.
i've tried this a bit before, so had confidence i'd get some result, but considered it important practice since it'd been so long. i stretched my hands out in a tensed form, and imagined the feeling of some laser-like emission from the center of each palm. i could feel pretty strong sensations there, but nothing was coming out.
i then tried turning my hands to where i could see my palms, and tried again. this time i focused on imagining something bright exiting that point on my hand. this time it started working!
a bright white, crystal-like stream came out that then froze into ice-like form. my right hand had something similar.
as i continued working with this, i increased the output, but it changed form to be momentum-passing bubbles/spheres rather than ice-like material.
didn't seem quite as useful, but i wouldn't complain since it was definitely a good step forward. i was able to emit *something* each time i tried.
so i had two lucids this night again. one was pretty long but not that much awareness in the second i remembered to call for DG again.
Spoiler for Bonus Task::
i am outside and some enemys approaching we decide to shoot (Fallout 4 residue) i try to collect some items but there is a gift i cant pick up. i take it up with my hands and unwrap it. suddenly someone approaches from behind and i hide behind a bench after some time he notice me and we start fighting me throwing fireballs. somewhere here i get lucid. i throw some weak balls but cant ignite him. we are suddenly in an apartment and i practice to throw them at a wall. i try with one hand, both hands, trying to charge it to get stronger or bigger balls. but with medium success. i do a fireball in my hand. its transparent and not that big. i concentrate to make it bigger but it grows only marginal. i try to ignite the floor beneath a girl. i pretend and tell "uh the ground is on fire" but cant believe it so no real fire appear but the girl is jumping around a little nervous nevertheless. suddenly all want to go to the canteen she wants me to bring me something because she stays because of the dog? i move with some people thru the floors and i summon some ice. i put both hands together in a cup and two pretty big icecrystals cross each other from both hands. they are not super solid so after some time a piece is falling down. i concentrate on that piece and its growing too and i check it with my hand. it feels cold but is not so solid it is like melting snow it breaks with touch. after that the lucid continued pretty long but my awareness was not that high. it was more an adventure than some ordered goaloriented lucid^^ i couldnt remember any of the tasks, espacially the DG one. at the end i remembered basic II again but woke up after asking the question
Spoiler for Advanced I::
i am in a house and get lucid for some reason. i move out of a room and stand in a floor looking outside. there are some sorts of waves i cant remember further. i move outside and really passionatly saying " i am ready for my dreamguide" the waves change into a simple garden/meadow with some people. i look around and one big girl with native american appearance or something is approaching me while all other move in opposite directions. i ask quietly (IWL to quiet that she might hear me) "are you my DG?" she smiles softly and nods. we hug intensively and i feel pretty happy. she let go and tell me "we move this way" and points in a direction. we are outside in a forest or a jungle of some kind with a lot of earthy ground and some mangroves or something? she moves calmly but pretty fast. i run a short distance to get up with her. on the left side of the way there is a see. she moves inside the see and moving with her back to the way and hands and feet behind her in the sea on its side. at the beginning i wonder and keep going on the way because it seems easier but she tells me to do it her way so i enter the sea too and do it similar to her. the drift of the sea is realtively high so i hold myself on some roots to control the flow. i look up and see her some part further down a heal near some buidlings waiting for me. i still fighting with the current and try to approach her but wake up.
reflecting this lucids:
the first one was hell long with a lot of landscape changes. probably because my lucidity was not that high. i ate a hamburger thanked people often had the tought uh you dont want to do this or that because it might have impact on Waking life... searching for a key for a rollercosterwagon to jump over a cliff and stuff. but also often reminding myself this is a dream and one time even singing it xD
its cool that i now am pretty self confident with making fire. i had a lot of problems and effort with it in the past. now i just know i can do it but the flames are most of the time pretty transparent and i cant make it looking really authentic yet but there is progress also pretty cool that the lucid was so long and i was pretty happy waking up but after some seconds of reflection i noticed the lack of awareness i had^^
the second one was cool: i think i never was so near to really see a DG that wants to show or teach me something. would be interesting to see where the journey might go. maybe into a radnom adventure without a goal with slowly loosing lucidity? nevertheless i see it as a success and will continue trying
Do you think it is important to have a problem/question/goal while approaching a DG or can i just keep trying to call him with no apparent reason and see what he might teach me?

Good questions - some one like Percylucid or Sivason would have some great stuff from experience to share ... Hope so
Oh yeah - nice Lucids!

Another Dream Guide ..
3/16
11:00am I was paddling along a dark road (naked) In the rain just above the mud and water and it was really pouring on me. I felt the water running down between my legs splashing on my feet so I felt down there and suddenly discovered I was a fairly well endowed girl, (A hairy one too ) I thought of the Dream Guide Task I had already done and somewhere out of the darkness another wet,Naked girl appeared and handed me a long black coat and a wide hat, I asked "Who are you?" As I threw the coat over both of us and we huddled together and she replied "you called for me" Then we proceeded flying along in the rain both covered by the coat until a tremendous crash of thunder woke me up and sent the cat flying for the closet..
Was it supposed to end like this?
DG1
I end up on a busy city square with people hurrying all around me. I remember the Advanced TOTM, look up at gray skies and yell out "Dream, I am ready for my dream god". "Not god, gooood", "Nooo, I wanna say guide". But it still sounds like a God.
A young man is coming towards me, waving. I look behind me and it's clear he is waving to a woman coming towards him from behind me.
DG2
I look up again and say "Dream, I'm ready for my dream guide". After a moment a guy in his 40's, short, a bit chubby, dressed in track suit with top opened and his chest hair and gold necklace showing. I silently shake my head "Nopenopenope".
Fire and Ice
I pick up 2 globs of brownies in my hands. I look at my left hand intensly and I keep saying "fire buuuurns". "It buuurs, it's yellow". The cookie is starting to liquify but it's still brown, and not a fire. Plus I'm getting some images of old brownish/yellowish photographs. So this won't work
Funny DC
I decide to stabilize so I try to feel the ground with my feet. Then I lay down and crawl on the ground feeling for different textures. A woman comes to me, bends down and asks me if I'm ok. I say sure I'm ok, no worries. Then she says she is a psychiatrist and if I need help, she can help me.
