Thread: Task of the Month for October 2016

again somehow just a short lucid but i was able to do the basic II

Spoiler for Basic II:

after a short awakening i feel pretty awake so i turn on my side but try to stay conscious. i do a mix of mantra and ssild. i have the "planting thoughtseed" in my mind so i think of something and then let go and do my uncoscious the rest. it works and slowly a visual appear. i find myself in a floor with two doors. the visual quality is very bad. i try to open the door but find it to early and let it go. someone else is opening the door for me but there is just blackness behind. i walk a little around and try to chill until dreams form completely but maybe because of some insecurity or so i "wake up" in a FA or transition.
i sit there after waking and think about to meditate a little. two guys sit next to me i know and start talking. i am irritated and after some time think this might be a dream. do a nosepinch but not (much?) air go thru. i am sitting on a terrace of a building and there is a terrace of the next building right next to us with maybe a meter between the buildings. on the other side there is a big white dog. diagonally a front and a back leg is broken/corrupt and it looks like the legs are entangled/crossed. to confirm this is a dream (i feel pretty sure) i let the dog levitate shortly. i stand up jump on to the other building and approach the edge of the building. its pretty high. i want to do basic II and i already feel some weight in my pockets. i seem to wear a jeans. without trying to expect whats in there i put both my hands simultaneously inside. a little disappointed i notice that in my left pocket there is my phone and in my right one are my keys [exactly as in waking life] i get both hands out, look at my phone and see that i got a new mail/message. i throw the keys down the building. i try to open the message but he display goes on and off. i grab with my right hand into my back pocket and again like in waking feel my purse but also some sweets. i put out the purse and also throw it down the building. i look at the sweets and notice that i have already a gum in my mouth (with mint flavor) i spit it out thinking that it doesnt taste too bad and put in a sweet inside. the other one i throw to the white dog whow eats it. i grab again in same pocket and get out some more sweets and give it another smaller brown dog too. i feel the dream destabilizing and because i dont remember another task am to slowly and to unfocused to do something against it and wake up.

so not that cool... maybe i will try again

Spoiler for Relevant part:

Concurrently, I recalled the pocket task. I reached inside with my left, and felt something thin and flimsy. I pulled it out, and yep, it was a stick of of gum, the wrapping quite worn out. So, I unwrapped and chewed it, this being of the stronger mint variety. Just then, some other random food item got stuck in between. This distracted me enough to destabilize the environment. I tried hand rubbing, but the dream ended abruptly.
