I suddenly felt really scared and defenseless like something might eat me, I yelled aloud "Oh-Shit!" and the only way out seemed to be to wake up which I did..Enough of that thank you!

What fun!

Omg I just recalled a fragment of my lucid from last night, I was going to try and complete the Adv. II - task. I was already kneeling down to go on my head, but I can't recall what the outcome was... nooo.

Tried the basic - putting hands in pockets again this morning....again nothing there unless I expected it to be ...a green cloth came out but I am sure just a second before I had expected the bright green colour to appear so I won't count it.

I need to spend time feeling around maybe and try to suppress expectation at the same time as knowing ' something ' will come out when I pull my hands out

i completed basic II again and tried Basic I

i put both hands in my pockets. this time i wear a jogging pants. i reach inside and feel a tissue in my left hand. i continue with my right one and feel another tissue. i am disappointed and keep on digging a little deeper. i feel the pocket expanding a little but there is nothing else. i fly around then remember basic I and ask for an art gallery. we look around but before i find something i wake up.

An odd LD where I think both of Advanced I and II, but never really try either one, and where I realize I started the dream blind but worked like heck to get visuals, and could have just gone with the way it started and got bonus....ack!

Spoiler for dream:

I "wake" on my back in bed and suspect I'm dreaming, do a nose pinch and get lucid. I have no visuals, and it's really hard to get up out of bed. I move slowly not wanting to lose the dream. I somehow know that I am in my CH living room. I finally stand up and make an effort to open my eyes, expecting to see a Christmas tree in its traditional location in the corner. I get really hazy visuals and sort of think I see a Christmas tree there but not decorated and I move on to the dining room. I think of TOTM and recall "walk with your head" and think how I'd do that but don't think more of it. Then I remember bring a person from 200 years ago, I recall my planned person, Mark Twain, and I think I will find him behind a door somewhere. I think I should go open the front door to see him.I spent the rest of the time fading in and out of lucidity. I go out on the deck and have an amazing high-def view of the city below, so much detail that I think I can't possibly be dreaming, and if I tried to fly it wouldn't work. I keep walking around the house not really noticing where I'm going and with no particular objective except to keep doing nose pinch. It seems I can't breathe, but there is a small bit of air escaping each time. I keep doing it for a while trying to determine what the result means. Then I find myself lying on my side back in the living room and lookin at a bright orange shoe box on a bedside table. I decide that if the box moves/levitates to my mental command that I'm still dreaming, but it doesn't move. Later on there's a long non-lucid sequence involving a tiny puppy/miniature dog that my old [deceased] dog L tries to pick up and throw over the side of the deck, the puppy leaves puddles around the house and I yell at my wife for buying another dog without asking me first.

My goal was for Basic II because it looked like fun to me. I was at the graveyard to visit my Grandson to bring him the little pumpkin I got him. It was so tiny but adorable. No idea where I got it. I was alone (I never go alone). It was sad to see so many children there but I didn't feel extremely stressed. I had this peaceful sensation, which I have had a lot these days. I was admiring the sounds of the birds and watching the pairs of birds flying together and listening to the wind chimes in the tree, when I felt a flutter feeling in my right pocket. Oh yeah, that made me think of the pocket task! I was a little hesitant to see what it was so I went for the left pocket. I pulled out a little green matchbox car and a tiny spiderman figurine. That seemed very logical to me. I almost expected something else. I placed them down next to the little pumpkin on his marker/stone. Then for the fluttering pocket. I was extremely careful as I pulled out a white triangular box. I could feel it moving, at this point it was really shaking. I opened it carefully and out came about 3 large orange a black butterflies which were flying around me. Then out came the most beautiful green butterfly. Green was my grandson's favorite color :-). He sat on the edge of the box for what seemed like minutes. Then they all flew off together. These kinds of dreams have a lot of meaning for me and it gave me a sense of happiness in a place where I probably should have been sad. I completed my first task which also made me feel excited!

Pm "Gab"... Sometimes you have to tickle them a little
(Although I think she has a keyword search on here because every time her name pops up she does too)



ps: See what I mean

Oh yeah, attempted basic again. Failed this time. http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/gab/oh-wow-77914/
But got lucky 6 times!

- At one point I remembered the pull something out of pocket TOTM. Put my hands in but don't remember what I pulled out.

Now I've been upstaged by a girl!


I miss the good old days! Used to have some good haunt tasks for Halloween..
I better get busy. Need some good haunts in yet

Yesterday again a short one where I pulled a blank piece of paper and a rubber band?
I think nothing cool will show up because experience/expectation brings nothing special out of my pockets :-)
But nevertheless I kind of like the task because it's so simple. One get Lucid and remember the task and you are good to go, check and continue your Lucid adventure.

Thanks for the help woblybil!
I was thinking about the art gallery task last night. That seemed like an easy one! I was walking around in what looked like a castle when I went into a room and saw a bunch of naked models in all kinds of strange positions and there were artists drawing them. I was quite embarrassed but sat down and had a beer. haha. I guess I need to go back when their art is hanging up, but that was an interesting dream for sure.

Completed Basic task I & II, woot woot! It's in the second dream. I get wings! My journal: http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/elai...roaches-77933/

Spoiler for Too long:

D1: I was living in an area similar to the town I live in but things were in the wrong place. I kept leaving where me & my husband lived in search of things to do w/ ppl. But he kept following me & was insisting I come home. One place was a chines restaurant w/ my first mother n law working there. Another has vast amounts of shoes there. Lots of men & women that were like forbidden fruit since I'm married. One offered drugs which I politely declined. I then encountered what we thought was a wall w/ a mural. But when I figured out what it really was & tried to tell my husband he just couldn't comprehend it. It was like a wall but actually it was the edge of a 5th dimensional world exactly like the way it happened in the movie Intersteller w/ Mathew McConaughey!

D2: I was at a carnival & I was a teenager who ran into a boy who I was having an innocent hold handing time with. This dream lasted a long time. He had to leave & I was left to my own wandering & came upon so many things. The whole town had seemed to be a part of this so I went to main street where I saw down another street that in front of a store were art! I became lucid & went to over there & looked at the art outside & inside. I've only been to one art gallery in my whole life so I guess that was why they were mostly framed pics or things in frames & then some abstract pieces that I didn't understand what they were supposed to be. One had a t-shirt in a frame that said Y-O-L & I went yes, I'm going to buy that so I can reach into my pockets. I pulled out a brush out of one & a man's wallet & my keys in another. Hence The first part of TOTM for October complete! I get wings! I could never really hold any of these things in my little itsy bitsy pockets except sometimes my keys. I usually put my keys on the rings on my purse so I don't lose them cuz I'm good at that, lol. And the Y-O-L I thought was YOLO in the dream, You only live once but my brain got over excited & wanted it anyway, lol.



I'd like to thank Nebulus for showing me one of DreamCafe11's art that inspired me to try again for the TOTM art gallery! My first dream made total sense to me in an abstract way of my past & how far I've come.

Just put me in a room full of naked models

I'll just stick this here and see what happens.. http://www.dreamviews.com/tasks-mont...ml#post2204949

First time I have gotten one of these in a while.

Spoiler for Dream:

I am trying to sleep during a nap. Some girl starts talking to me, I start getting close to thinking that it is a dream, but then I wake because of my wife next to me. I don't know if that was a real dream or not, I then WILD into my living room. I put my hands into my pocket and get a pen out. SMH. No expectations left me with nothing fun in my pocket. Try again. Nothing. Decide to use some expectation and get my egg out. Time to hatch this baby. I put some energy in and it starts to crack there is a flash of light, and then I wake up. :/ Egg is almost hatched. Will get it next time.

The egg hatch otter be interesting, The last time we tried that I hatched a little silvery octopus and the hideous cat snatched it growling and hid under the bed crunching down my baby ..

Completed basic task. I keep duck spring rolls in my pockets, apparently

You've got blue on you

Basic Task I Fail:
10/16
I got up and went to the bathroom and had just started peeing in the washing machine (A dead giveaway)
And thought "Yay, another dream," I still wanted to do art gallery task so I stuck my head thru the wall to see if there was an art gallery,..Instead there was a white hallway with a woman in a wheelchair chasing a pig toward me in a hurry with the chair wheels splattering pigshit so I ducked back into the wall quick..I watched them pass from inside the wall then tried again, "Whew, That was a close one"
The hallway was gone then and just the outdoors as I floated up over the parking lot looking for my truck, It was not there! In it's place was a woman just parking a funny looking car in my parking space and said "Oh no you don't!" As she got out I swooped down like an eagle grabbing her by the shoulders and slapped her down on the hood of her car, The rest of the car broke off and rolled away downhill and I started laughing so hard I almost woke up.. As she hit the car her legs had gone up in the air and it got me going but I drilled her just to teach her a lesson..When I was done I circled her a couple of times worrying I may have killed her but she was moving so I flew away up toward the top of a wall that I was sure was between me and the next dream, Before I got to the top I looked back and thought "She's here and I don't know whats over there" so I flew an inside loop right back to her "Splat!" This time when I finished I flew up the wall but kept on going upward to awake before I forget it all.

Basic - gallery - fail (coz no brains)

I got up and went to the bathroom and had just started peeing in the washing machine (A dead giveaway) ....

LOL woblybil, that is funny!

I tried again to do the art gallery task, but forgot about it. When I was preparing to wild, I reminded myself what you said about first sticking your head through the wall before going in there. I don't like going through walls coz not knowing what's there, so I love your method!

I got to do some flying from the scratch. Starting out on the ground and just willing myself to fly which never worked like this before.

And finally again after long time I felt incredible joy that used to be so common in my lucids.

I will post about delayed GPC+GM combo in woblybills thread.

10/29
Basic I and Advanced I fail..

6:00am My first Galantamine dream which i found no different than some much cheaper supplements but it's just the first one too.
I went back to bed about 4:30am after taking Galantamine expecting to have a hard time going to sleep. As it happened while I was thinking about doing the remaining tasks I found myself in the dream but lost Lucidity for the most part and Instead of bringing someone back from 200 years ago and going to an art gallery I went back 200 years to an art show and brought back a little girl but not lucid!
1st dream.
There were a lot of fancy people in front of an art show, It was an open air building like a cut in half house and very colorful decorated like a ginger bread house. The people were mostly outside talking and gesturing dressed very fancy if you can picture a Captain Morgan Bottle, 17th century at best.
Men with long plumage in their hats and women in feathered dresses and flowered hats all very bright and colorful. They paid no mind to me at all like I was either invisible or I was a pauper not worth any attention. Inside there were a few paintings on the back and side walls but not many people exept in front of a big painting of a brightly dressed,fat,ugly woman which I could see no reason to fuss over..
I knew I was supposed to bring back someone but the only person I saw worth bothering with was a small girl in a frilly white dress, The rest looked like idiots in their finery so I asked the girl to come with me for a while and we took off for elsewhere but when she saw her first car she pee'd and every time she saw something else new she pee'd and I had to pee too and woke up...
A far as I know she's still here somewhere maybe watering your flower garden

2nd dream 7am
I was eating chicken soup, Good stuff too! I was chewing on a tough piece of chicken giving a it real working over because it was so good, spitting out tough gristly parts I found I was gnawing on the stub of a chicken foot with one toe already eaten and set it on the table still standing up all yellow and nice and stood up away from the table and woke up...
