Thread: Lucid Task For The Month Of May 2006

Huh!? I completed the task? kick ass!

I said it already but I'm gonna say it again: I just broke some windows, nothing else. That qualifies as demolishing a building?

And another thing: I think the image is wrong.

theres a new rampage game. that game was the awesomeistist. tell me more. does it have a different name

So, the dream started in some type of convenience store. I was hiding from a person for no reason in paticular. Well, i think realized that was dreaming because i did a couple of reality after realizing this store was one i've never seen before. As expected, the person i was hiding from entered the convenience and proceeded to attempt to kill me. Already lucid, i was annoyed and thus took off flying. The guy flew after me and so i took him and flew full force into the store. After getting out of the rumble, the person was no where to be seen and the store laid in ruins. Eh, i didnt actually attempt to break the store, more like him, but i guess it counts right?

That's my whole purpose, to show that what can be done in an LD can (and more easily) be done in simply a vivid dream. You all cry "it was not lucid", but everyone seems to be missing the boat.

Well if you wanted to prove a point, here's not the place to prove that one. You have to be Lucid for this.

What your 'whole purpose' is, seems to be nothing new, it's the same thing people do to aid themselves in becoming Lucid. I'm prety sure it's called autosuggestion. If you say to yourself, 'I will do insert activity here in my dream' enough times chances are good you'll do that in the dream. Great if you suggest realty checks.

However if you're not using autosuggestion, but just directing the dream in a certain direction, that could still be considered a brief bout of lucidity and would mean that it's not just a vivid dream, you had influenced it, be it in a small way.

This is not taking into account the possiblity that it may have just been a 'coincidence' that you happened to do the thing you wanted to show could be done. But that theory is full of holes because when you read what the task is, it can be argued that you did it because you got the idea in your head because of reading it.

It all seems for naught though, because we all know that you can do anything you can in a LD and more when not lucid. It's just that it seems so easy because when it's not lucid and you don't do it, you don't notice, but when it's not lucid and you do do it, it seems effortless because you didn't really put any effort in. Besides originally suggesting to yourself to do it.

I wish i woulda seen this yesterday -_- i had my longest Ld yesterday lol

i know exetly what i'm gonna destroy,the wite hous pentagon,and the twin trade centers and say hello to Bush

So uh, does my lucid dream count as completing the advance task?

Heh, the advanced task was easy.. it happens often in my dreams, just not with bare hands/feet.

I just went through the building (which just looked like a regular ''brown/red'' brick flat-thing house) at lightspeed, smashing everything in my way, till it collapsed.
Lots of dust & debris

Meh, the other task, guess I'll try doing that soon.

You have this thing about telling EVERBODY that you can only fly upwards!
I would do the Task if i could actually remember anything that i want to do during a LD

Is it legal to make our fists and hands grow or turn metal or something?

P.S. By the way i like the building idea...

WOO HOO!!! TWO FOR ONE!

I'm with my dog, traveling in my old green band van. We are going through a cramped, hilly neighborhood with tiny cottage-like houses. I lose control of the van, and it gets stuck on the front lawn of one of these small homes. I think that it would be great if this were a dream and RC... and it is.

I want to find a bucket with a hole in it. How do I do that? I go inside. There is stuff EVERYWHERE. The DC living there asks what I'm doing, and I don't reply. I go into a storage room and look. I am scanning shelves of stuff, looking for anything that might even PASS as a bucket. I try to imagine a bucket, even pretending to pick one up and hoping it will appear, but it doesn't. I decide to try someplace else and go back out to my van. When I get in, the dream starts fading, so I close my eyes and spin, repeating, “I'm dreaming” to myself.”

I open my eyes and am still in the van, in the back. Now my daughter is with me too. I tell her and the dog to wait here while I go do a couple things. We are parked outside of another small cottage. A group of people are leaving it. It is almost dawn. The lights are all out, but the door is open. I go inside, stepping around another departing DC. There is a sign on the inside of the door reminding people to turn out the lights when leaving. I turn on the lights... and they work! I RC again, just to make sure, and am indeed dreaming.

I go into the kitchen and find a small black plastic bucket. There is no hole, so I take a Ginsu knife and cut a hole in the corner. Then I fill it with water, and it leaks. Laying on the counter are small pieces of pink plastic, so I find one that fits and stick it in the hole. I carry it into the living room and pour the water on the plasma television. One down. I return the bucket to the kitchen and study my hands for a couple moments. As they stabilize, I kiss them. They are warm and all there, with every scar and dent. I go back out to the living room.

My daughter walks in. I tell her to go wait in the van, because there is something else I have to do. She goes. In the corner is a beautiful old archtop guitar with a single pickup. It is blond, laying there with the case open. I strum it, and it is in perfect tune. While one of my goals is to compose a piece of music, I am intent on destroying this house with my bare hands and decide not to take the time to run it out to the van.

I start at the door frame, grabbing the side of it and ripping it away. I toss it outside, and continue down the wall. As I continue, I realize that I should go outside so the house doesn't fall on me. As I work around, larger and larger pieces of the house are pulling away. I rip them off and throw them back, working around, until the house collapses in a magnificent pile of rubble and a dust cloud rises. The sun has now risen, shining down on my SECOND complete success at achieving a goal in a lucid dream.

I return to the van. As I'm explaining to my daughter why I did that, the dream rapidly fades and an RC proves I'm really awake. Time to break out the computer.

wow pj, impressive lucid!

sweet that you found a guitar, and it was fully functional...hope you get a chance to spend some quality time playing air guitar in a future lucid (get it?...air guitar...lucid dreams are ephermal...ahhh, bah.... )

yet again, i managed to remember a lucid task and try it, but failed... i guess i should look at it as a positive step though.

became lucid in my kitchen, watching the hands of the clock spin rapidly...walked to the cupboard and grabbed a heavy steel pot (hell, it IS a bucket), but there was no hole in it...

i tried to push a hole through it with my finger, but it wouldn't give....dream faded soon afterwards....

BAH!!! Last night, I was just about to go do the task, when I awoke!! Goddamn it ~_~

Thank you! It sounds like you were well on the way too.

This was the first time I was successful at deciding something in advance and carrying it out like this. I'm still geeked from it.

I had another LD this morning and did get to do some improvising on piano. I had wanted to play in front of an audience, but woke before getting there... but I did play two improvisations backstage. Nothing memorable came from them though.

That leaves only one thing on my short list of goals. Time to come up with some new ones!

Yeah... it was beautiful - like a DeAngelico. Hated to let it sit, but I had things to do!

The plasma TV was a beaut too... too bad I can't carry stuff back into real life!

Thanks again for the kind words. It really was quite an amazing LD... and what made it amazing was having these goals to shoot for.

Um, Aphius, do I still count? I did try, but the building seemed to rebuild itself whenever I wasn't looking.


I was in front of a hospital, when all of a sudden I realised I was dreaming. The hospital looked quite strange, but it was a hospital. I remembered the lucid tasks... So, I flew around, bashing the walls and floors (there were no supports in sight, so I started with the bottom floor), but whenever I turned my back and looked again it looked perfectly fine.

Then a woman with three babies came up to me, one of them being really, really tiny. She wanted me to care for them or something, but she shoved them in my face and I was so confused I woke up.

Do I still count?

Yeah, baby.

“First Lucid Task Completed!”

Hell yeah. Of the very few things I remember from last night’s dreams, one of them happened to be completing the lucid task of the month.
As of right now, I don’t even remember much of what I was doing before I realized I was dreaming. I had been walking down the street at night with someone, though I don’t remember who. We’d come to what I think was an intersection, and I had noticed that a building off to my far right side had caught my attention. I think I had recognized it as the large church that was in my demon/ghosts dream a few nights ago. (After I awoke from that dream, I had wished I would have used that building as a dream sign, the first time, because I’d been concentrating on completing the task for a while, now.)
Whatever the reason, I suddenly realized I was dreaming while I was still walking down the street having conversation with whoever was walking next to me. Without taking another step, I remembered the lucid task and instantly turned around, pushing off with my feet and launching myself toward the building. Flying toward it, I pulled back one arm and punched out at the base of the building, my fist and body tearing through the concrete of the wall, crashing through the center and then breaking through the opposite wall and ending up outside again. I turned around and saw the church crumbling down upon itself, as this part of the dream suddenly faded away as quickly as it had began and melted into something else.

Cool! Congrats on your first. Too bad I cannot give you a special rank....er that is unless you want to give up your DG rank

YAY! Advanced task success My first one ever

...At this point I remembered that I was only just in my own bed a few minutes ago, so how could I have gone all the way to my cousins without being in a dream! *grin* Straight away I stabled myself, then tried spinning, with the intention of getting to the Norwich Union building next to my school, which I was determined to destroy. First spin and second spins failed, and I was also being careful not to hurt my hands on the furniture around me. Third spin, I realised this wouldnt harm me, so did it full speed, feeling the furniture knocking against me. This also failed, so I tried closing my eyes, and opening again, but still I was in the same place! Finally, I tried making a doorway portal appear, that would take me there, but I couldnt make it just appear. I tried making it come up through the floor, but that didnt work, so I tried making it fall outta the sky. A semi invisible door, with only the handle solid came down, so I tried opening it. On the other side was a rather inviting brick wall with ivy climbing up it, but it wasnt the right place, so I tried again. BINGO, there was the entrance to the building just outside the door. I walked through, and then tried to take off. I was unsure how it was gonna work, so I just tried to 'fly'. I went straight up, but it was rather slow. At the top of my ascent, I commanded the speed to increase, as well as my lucidity, just to be safe. I managed to float towards the building, working out how to move in all 3 dimensions. When I was close I started by tearing a girder of the building. This is easy! To sum up what happened next into one PNG and an MP3 of the tune I 'worked' to;
