Thread: Lucid Task For The Month Of March 2006

I slept like crap last night and so my dreams were really opaque/gloomy/grainy, and it made lucidity quite easy. At one point I heard myself snoring...I had about ten bouts of lucidity for less than ten seconds. It may have all been the same dream. It was like I was thinking, but the dream mind kept revoking lucidity. I think I'm done with it, from now on I'm doing the tasks by incubation.

One of the times I was lucid, for an estimated three seconds, I just focused on the sky and pulled the lightning right down into me. I was in first person, so I saw a flash, but did not hear a boom. I can't remember what I was actually doing though.

I was going to do it again when I was really tall next to a building, but it didn't come down, and I lost lucidity.

Ah, I finally did it (I told you I would Seeker)

I WILDed into my dream room as normal with the task firmly set into my mind, (to get struck by lightning). but I knew it would prolly wake me up so I was going to wait until the dream started to fade before I killed it... anyway I did the regular FA induction which made the dream more vivid and went about my business (made a woman appear and did some stuff) anyway that shook up the dream pretty bad and almost woke me but I saved it with another FA () and walked outside to fly, I felt the dream start to slip though and for some reason stabalization techniques havnt been working for me so I just looked up at the sky knowing that it would be cloudy/ stormy it was obviously, but my looking up at it made my vision go into 3rd person (kinda like when your watching TV and you dont think about your body) suddenly the clouds began to swirl slightly and a massive build up of energy began to accumulate (I was still out of body) suddenly I heard a loud rumbling noise followed by a "BOOM" then a lightning bolt shooting out of it and the view changed to an overhead of me (way overhead i couldnt really tell it was me) and it hit where i was, but it looked like a video game or something more than real life.... anyway woo my first task completion in awhile

You did it! Congrats, splash!!
Can you face your fears of lightning in your LDs now?

Maybe you should turn into pikachu first then call down the lightning.

Commiting LD Suicide is better!
Besides, I wanted to do that in my true form!

I gave one of the tasks a try, this is the first time I've tried a task.
I figured that the advanced task would be easier for me than the other one, but I didn't manage to do it.

I was in a big indoor sports arena thing and I started to wonder what kind of sport would be awesome to play in a lucid dream, but couldn't really come up with anything, but then I remembered the advanced lucid task on the DreamViews Lucid Experiences forum and decided to give it a try, but I needed to get outside first.

I somehow managed to project my body backwards through sheer power of will and came out of the building. It was night time outside and the weather seemed calm and clear. I flew wrecklessly into the black sky above the city scape, which was lit by orange street lights and white lights from the windows of buildings below. I flew on my front and tried to will the lightning to hit my back from above so as to make it easier (this way, I wouldn't need to actually see it, plus, keeping the cityscape in my visual field would help maintain the dream), but I only felt a very slight shock of energy to my back and did not hear anything at all. I continued to attempt the summoning of lightning for a few minutes until I woke up, but wasn't able to do it because the night just seemed too calm.

This morning I became lucid and started yelling out: Dreamguide! then when I went outside a large green and black bird flew at me and turned out to be my dreamguide.
Among other things I asked him how to call lightning down to hit me without dying. He told me to kind of "ask it" to do so, so I imagined doing that. I had my head tilted slightly to the left and was looking up, and then I say a jolt of lighting shooting towards me. I felt it hit my neck, which merely felt like like a soft blow (didn't even hurt).
Then, I proceeded to do other things.

The moral of the story: There's no danger is getting struck by lightning, as long as you do it right

Yes! My first Lucid Task completed! I did the advanced task. I was in my backyard and was thinking about trying something I'd never done before, so I yelled "Lightning Strike" and I got hit. I didn't feel anything at all, which was a bit disappointing. I started running behind DCs and summoning more bolts so they would get hit. It was pretty fun.

Im going to try the plant one tonight if i lucid. but i dont want to kill myself in one of my only LDs. I'll tell you if i get it to work, but i probably wont.

You are correct, you probably won't get it to work because you believe you won't. Your beliefs have a profound influence on your ability to LD. If you believe you will be successful you are MUCH MORE likely to succeed than if you think you won't. Watch your thoughts and beliefs.

YOU CAN DO IT!

ALMOST made it. Planted the seed last night, but it wouldn't grow. Then I willed myself to get struck by lightning, but I woke up before it touched me.

Bummer man! If it's any condolence, I've not been able to remember to do the lighting one yet =)

Ive been working on this task for a few weeks now but Ive been having trouble remembering the task for the month. Not to mention the fact that ive only had ONE lucid this month that included myself so far. I'll keep working on it since it wasnt technically "myself" doing the planting.
ok this is how the "task" part played out in my lucid book dream - I had my heroine plant sunflower seeds in her garden. I made it rain and moved the sunlight around and they began to grow around her. They are were pale yellow color and really high.--Theres this whole back story and plot that goes into the "book", but this was the only part that involved the task for the month.

(Still trying to figure out why its easier for me get my DC's -my fictional book characters- instead of myself involved in the lucid dreams. Ive even tried to make myself a character in the book but I get too excited and come out of it too quickly).

Only a few days left, but this morning I was able to do the advanced lucid task.

The funny thing was, I haven't been on the forum much lately because of all the work I've had to get done, so I was hard pressed to remember what the advanced lucid task was!

After I finally figured it out, I started a lightning storm. I was really scared to actually make it hit me, because I figured it would hurt like hell.

Well after making a nasty lightning storm, I decided to try and make it strike me.

I looked up at the sky and tried to pull down some lightning, but I couldn't get it to hit me directly. So what I did, is I called it down about a few feet in front of me and made it stay there. Kind of like how the electricity from one of thoe globes will touch your finger and stay there as long as you keep your finger there.

So once the bolt was there and zapping the ground, I walked into it. Suprisingly, it didn't hurt but it was VERY bright and chaotic. It was more fun that I thought it would be.

well, i know the month's over, but i came closer to any of the tasks than in the past.

i became lucid and floated out my window into my front yard. it was dusk, but fairly light out. i tried to remember some of my objectives and remembered the planting a seed and watch a plant grow task.

so even though i had been wearing sleek athletic shorts a second before i willed myself to have pockets with a seed inside. instead i pulled out a handful of dimes..

i stuck one partially into the ground and looked away for a split second when it didn't immediately do anything. when i looked back a blue plastic-looking flower on a foot long stem had 'grown'.

i picked it and floated down the road, thinking of the famous poetic phrase about picking a flower in a magical dream and waking up with it...

so...i didn't actually complete the task, and it would have been about ten hours too late regardless, but i'm pleased how close i was..

looking forward to april's tasks...i'm motivated now...hit me with your best shot

aww no i cant believe i missed this thread, well as the months over i look forward to what the next task is going to be, but ive done the flower growing thing, but i didnt need a seed, and i rarely have lightning in my dreams, mostly winds or objects falling from the sky so i would have failed on the second... well done to those who pulled off the tasks!

Aprils tasks coming soon. Thank you for your patience.
