Thread: Task OF The Year 2021!!

I read this stuff for the first time yesterday. I achieved task one I think. I wanted to be a superhero in the dream so I went into an old fashioned phone both and then came back out thinking I would be a superhero. I was transformed into a weird version of a spiderman. I had a exaggerated human body with sharp angles and a costume sort of like Spider Man (red and black with web patterns) but I also had eight huge spider legs coming out of me sort of like Doc Oc's mechanical arms. I walked around on those legs for a bit before I woke up.
I did not ask to become or discover anything, I just went into the box and came back out a hero. If it helps I had no idea what I would be, if anything, the dream just sprung it on me.

I almost forgot that that once I was teaching a young DC how to fight like an Avenger but, that was like two years ago.


I knew you guys can do it!! I can feel it!

Awesome!! Next dream try to ask around for your super hero name.

Yes, that is the way it's meant to be. The dream is supposed to decide our superhero form for us. I think it's more fun that way, and certainly more challenging. We have to discover "ourselves". We don't know what our powers will be. And, it is true we may be disappointed (I was a little bit, not anymore), but that's part of growing, and part of the fun?

I was meaning to ask to clarify some of the tasks. I want to make sure I'm doing them right. You know, You want to do all the tasks only to find out you were doing it all wrong? I probably should have asked when you suggested them. Sorry.

1. What if someone in my dream addressed me as an Avenger name, then that would be okay?

2. Do we have to keep the superhero Alter-Identity in every task that we do or can we be a different Alter-Identity in other tasks too?

3. With discovering your power, does it have to be a power that you never had before? I have had many different powers, but, do I have to look for a new-new power?

By the way, If anyone else has any questions, then maybe this a great time to ask, Moonagedaydream about her tasks!

~HD.

I'm glad you brought this up. Thanks for being honest & up front.


1. I don't think you're breaking any rules. I do think that your situation is uncommon, as most of us don't have an already established super hero dream identity like you do. When I was writing it, I was thinking from the perspective of someone who doesn't have a form already.

My intention was to encourage a discovery process. Maybe you feel you've already gone through that. I would ask myself: Do you feel that the character represents an aspect of yourself? Does the unconscious see you as this character? Or do you feel like you just like to play the part because it's fun? I would say yes, it represents you, but ask yourself. Or better yet, ask the dream.

Now, if you want to "re-roll" your character, because you're not sure, then by all means, go ahead. It's your choice.

2. We keep the same one. So, we would transform into our super hero mode with the expectation of the previous form. If the dream misbehaves, then roll with it.

3. No, and keep in mind you may have multiple powers. As long as you are not using lucid dreaming god-mode powers (No iddqd!!). You don't have to search for a new one. You do need to be open to new powers if they arise organically in the dreamspace during a mission. I think I called that a "level up" in the original post. That's OK.

In fact, thinking on this, I'm going to ask the dream to "shut down all lucid dreaming powers other than the ones given to my super hero character." That's a good fail-safe.

The dream did include a voice/thought that said "you are Spiderman" but I told myself this is not Spiderman, it must be something else, but no good name was presented. I am not ok with it just being Spiderman. Next time maybe something good will come up.
I was wondering about this stuff with discovering powers. In a fully lucid dream I have any power I want. I recently destroyed my home town by pulling an asteroid out of space very vividly. Flight, fireballs, TK, teleport, what have you. I am not sure how I am going to "discover" my super hero powers, but it makes for an interesting challenge.

Sheesh. And I just barely got the hang of phasing.

Just a thought, aside from asking the dream to turn off unrelated powers, you could ask the dream or a dream guide what your powers are.

I had a problem with getting a decent name, too. A DC called me "Ilene." But, another part of the dream had a song with the words "Light Girl." (btw, Eileen does mean light). So if you find another name that gets presented, go for it.

BTW, just to clarify, although in the battles I think it's important to stick to your designated super-hero powers as given by the dream, flying to get to location before a battle/mission is OK with me. Just because lucid dreams don't always last a long time, and it can be quite tricky to get places without flying.
