Thread: Lucid Task For The Month Of March 2006

Introduction:

This topic is for the Lucid Tasks I assign each month. During this month, attempt one or both of the tasks.

There will be a badge for each task, however both cannot be displayed simultaneously.

Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task, your efforts should make interesting reading! This is required in order to get credit, it is no longer sufficient just to say that you did it.

Whoever completes either of these tasks gets a custom title until the end of the month. (Note, if you are staff, I cannot give you a custom title, it would override your staff title)

Those that complete the tasks have the right to add the GIFs to their signatures when this month has ended.

Tasks for this month:

Lucid Task: Plant a seed and will it to grow into a flower before your eyes


Advanced Lucid task: Call down lightning from the sky and let it hit you

At last!! A suicidal LD task!! And it seems like a funner way to kill yourself!!
Plant a seed, and will it to grow, then summon lightning to strike you both. Try to see what happens to the flower b4 you die!!

Thats pretty weird, I was thinking about doing that earlier today, and now it's the task. The lightning one, I mean. I'll probably have an easier time with that one.

i am going to try to do the plant one every lucid, because its an exceptional idea, it would be mind-blowing to observe, and i want to prove to myself i'm lucid task material now ...

i managed to form half an extra arm last night in a lucid, and i thought i was actually going to squeak in a completed lucid task on the very last day of the month, until i got too excited and it disappeared.

..dig a little furrow in the ground, pull a seed out of my pocket, adn throw it in...oh yeah, i got a good feeling

Yes! I'm actually excited about this. I sort of always wanted to be hit by lightning, whether dreaming or not. I have been struck by lightning in one dream before, and I was going to call it down in a lucid, but got distracted...

<robovoice> The clone will make the best lightning rod</robovoice>
<koolaidman>Oh yeah!</koolaidman>

Wow... I had such a busy month I never even saw the February task.
Hmmm... wish me luck with this one

For some reason the badges don't show on my computer - is this the same as everyone else?

Anyway, wish me luck, please.

Great tasks, seeker!

Badges display correctly now. Sorry for that

Arghh!! My attempt failed today, and how I so wish I could try again today....now I want to strike myself w/lightning even more!!
As I was suppose to, I used willpower to make a flower grow (which was pretty awesome, like the ones on TV), then using the static I can usually feel in my hands, and shock people w/sometimes in real time, I summoned lightning to strike me and the plant, and it did. It felt like a big shock, and that I was being burned badly. I die b4 I get to look at the flower (one of the requirements!!) and I so wish I could try napping, but I cannot try again until tonight!! Doh!!

PS: I didn't complete the task...I don't think, since I forgot to see the flower after it was shocked!!

if i become lucid this month...this is one of the first things on my list:
Lucid Task: Plant a seed and will it to grow into a flower before your eyes

it would be amazing.

Sounds fun!

p.s Im back now ive had like a 1 month dry spell, prolly because of concentrating on school way to much, but im back now, gonna try to get rid of my dry spell

i found that it is easier to just say your dreaming to get a lucid dream.
i mean in the dream 8)

I've been hit by lightning in real life while I was on the job. I couldn't move for a good minute and my finger tips felt hot. My dad laughed at me. lol. It was interesting. Good thing I didn't get BBQ'ed.hahaha. I'm gonna try out both the tasks.

LOL

If I get lucid after a 3 month dry spell I sure as hell won't kill myself right away And the plant thing sounds kinda boring, too. (Though it would be cool to grow a big tree out of the seed, then stand underneath the tree and let a lightning strike both down) I'm going to try more interesting things like robbing a bank and running away from the cops...or minimizing myself... or talking to god... that kinda stuff.

Hehe, I didn't mean to offend

Ya, if I get out of this 1+ month dry spell I definitely won't try killing myself. A great idea: shit a seed right out to the ground and watch it grow to blossom out a baby. Do this on a beach so that you can watch lightning hit the sand so that it forms glass, and from there i guess you could try telekinetically turning this glass into something grand I suppose. Oh, and don't be on the phone during a storm, it nicked my mom and burned a hole in the blanket she was in.

EDIT: Just got out of it last night! I looked at myself in the mirror and i was distorted like you guys say. i made three balls appear and trie to juggle cuz in real life i can actually juggle, but for some reason it was as if i couldn't juggle in my LD. I spun around before that and it made everything brighter. Then after i tried juggling some blanket came over me and it shut my dream eyes. When i opened my eyes again i was awake.

SO CLOSE ONCE! I dreamed I was in a storm, and thought, "Hey, maybe I'm dreaming?" but I saw myself roll over in my bed, so I thought it was HI!

Two LDs last night. DILDs, despite trying to WILD after WBTB. In the second I thought about the tasks of the month. I needed a seed, so I reached deep into my pocket and, sure enough, my fingers felt what was clearly a large grain. I pulled it out, and tossed it gently to the ground next to me.

I then just “willed” a flower to grow, and it did! This may be one of the very first times that “willing” something to happen (apart from finding certain characters I wanted to meet) has worked for me.

It was maybe 30cms high, on a green stem, with multiple blue / purple flowers / petals down the side. When I looked at it again there was also a smaller, white flower next to it (both were now in a pot). I looked yet again, and it had morphed into a different flower of similar colors.

I decided to take the flowerpot outside (I was indoors), so that I could try bringing lightening down on it (wasn’t too keen on the idea of frying myself, so wanted a test object!).

However, I then got distracted by something else (a mirror, I think), and left this task to go and try other stuff.

I think that the idea of growing a flower in a dream is really poetic and beautiful! I might try a cherry tree in full blossom next time!

I thought I had posted this already, but I must have done something wrong.
A few nites ago, I completed the task of the month. I had awoken briefly and remembered the task. As I drifted back to sleep I reminded myself to try the lightening bolt task. When dreaming, I almost always know it is a dream. It has been that way since I can remember.
<I dont remember as much as I did the last time I wrote this>

In my dream:
I was standing outside and some other people were around me but I wasnt talking to them. I knew it was a dream. I remebered wanting to try shooting ligtening out of my finger tips. I looked up to the sky and the biggest bolt of lightening came down into my body. It didnt hurt, because I cant get hurt in my dreams. It looked similar to the Highlander tv show, after he kills an immortal. I spread my arms and the bolts that had just came from the sky shot out of my finger tips. The went for miles and miles, then I either woke up or stopped dreaming. I wish I would have done something more productive with them, like torched a person or something... I didnt even start a fire.

All in all, it was an interesting task, I just wish I would have been a lil more creative.

Hey,

I don't know if this counts, since it wasn't a flower that grew out of my seed, but I must say it was nonetheless an interesting experience.

This morning I had a dream that I'm lost in an unknown city. I ought to be somewhere and I'm already late. But I find my mum and my sister sitting on a pavement. So I sit down beside them. And there is a tree opposite to us across the street. My mum says – do you know, why this tree is so amazing? And she explains - Because through evolution trees developed a special system of reproduction, so that today a person can plant a seed and they grow out of it. At that moment it hits me – this is a dream! This is a task! I have to plant a seed. I go to the tree and pick up from the ground something that looks like a seed to me and I put it in the soil and say out loud – grow! And the soil begins to move and inflate and a thing breaks through. It's a tree, not very tall, very skiny with dishevelled treetop. I encourage it to grow more, but instead it forms a face and treetop becomes hair and it turns into a girl. She looks at me as if I was her creator, a God, and she seems to have no will of her own.

Then I remember a second task – to create a lightning that would strike me. I try to send the girl away so that nothing would happen to her, but she wouldn't leave. Clouds begin to form and then another girl appears. She is evil, she has some sort of an arrow in her hand and she can make fire with it. I try to make her go away so I can concentrate on creating a lightning, but she gets even more intrusive. I start to feel scared despite knowing this is a dream. I hear a thunder. And she starts to threaten us with fire. I don't have any more power. I stumble and fall on my back and I just wait. She aims that arrow at me and I lift my hands and legs to defend myself. She throws that arrow and hits my sole. After that she disappears. And I'm relieved and think to myself – hey, that didn't hurt at all. It was nothing. I wake up.

That was the first time in my LD that a character would give a verbal clue for me to realize that I'm dreaming. I always just know or I become aware of some anomalies and realize it's a dream.

Creating a lightning to strike me is going to be difficult for me, because lightnings make me very uncomfortable in waking life. Yeah, but it's also a big opportunity to overcome this fear.
