Thread: Lucid Task For The Month Of July 2006

Alright! I completed the first task in record time.
Here is the dream typed up from my dream journal:
Wow! I did it! I was in what seemed to be a bookstore. I questioned reality for some reason and did an RC with the book i was looking at (duh ).
I remembered the task immediately, which i think is pretty good for my short term, dream, memory loss. Hmm... that should be a disorder. Anyways I exited the book store and went out into the street.
I was in a small city so there was mediocre amount of traffic. I noted a cross-walk guard (In the middle of a city?) and his bright red stop sign. I walked over, grabbed the sign from his hands, and jumped into the street before he could react.
My jump took me amazingly far probably 10 feet, from the sidewalk to the middle of the street. I should also note that the street was one way, and had about 4 lanes. While i was jumping, the dream went slo-mo. I saw a car coming straight for where i would land. It was probably 10 feet from me when i was about to land. I hold out the sign and immediately when my feet touch the ground it screaches to a halt inches from my belt.
I then went to work on getting the cars in the other lanes to stop, but nevertheless some went by me. When i thought i had the traffic under a bit of control i turned parallel to the street, still holding my stop sign up to the oncoming cars. The other hand i used to aim at the cars that had escaped my grasp. I pulled back all three of the cars that had passed by me and tucked them into the traffic. (It was some nice PK )
Somewhere in here the cars turned to people. But, they were still iritated with me and tapping their feet. I don't think they dared to move though after seeing my awesome psychokenises.
I believe this was where the dream ended, but i don't rightly know.

Well there it is. Fun task thanks Seeker!

I had a very nice lucid dream tonight. Even moreso because the interval between this lucid dream and my last one was three times as large as usual. Anyway, I thought I completed both lucid tasks, but it turns out I completed neither, lol.
I stopped traffic and raised the dead, but did both things from my balcony (actually, it was the balcony of a hotel room where my house was supposed to be), neglecting the "Walk into a cemetary/the middle of the street" part.
Oh well, it was kinda fun to do. Maybe I'll really complete them some other time this month. I didn't really like how my undead looked like guys from a computer game who'd just been raised with some spell (some were actually riding horses...).

Well, I managed to have a good lucid last night, but I'm not sure whether I completed the task or not.
After having a spear fight with a knight, we proceeded to play some sort of board game. Remembering the task, I summoned the dead from the grassy board, and many skeletal figures rose out, and began walking to the other side of the board.
At the time, I was satisfied that I had completed the lucid task, and spend the rest of the dream chasing after cars and jumping around in my gleeful lucidity. I'm not so sure now, as I didn't go into a cemetary first.
Maybe I'll have another Lucid soon, and I can have another go at it.

So close! I became lucid when I was in some huge building, and as soon as I did I thought of the tasks. I could remember how to get out, but I only ended up in this gymnasium with huge thick windows. I tried flying through them really quickly but just bumped my head. Some DC's came in and distracted me, and I lost lucidity while talking to them. I KNOW I could have achieved at least one of the tasks if I had gotten outside.
By the way, cool tasks this month.

Oh Man, Best advance task EVER!!!!!!

Iv'e been on a dryspell for awhile but i decided to to WBTB method so anyway i did it.

The dream Started out at my school i was in Math period when i realised when my teacher was pointing at the board he had 3 fingers and the middle one was 2 feetlong. I realized i was dreaming but to make sure performed i reality check. So i remember the advanced task and Dreamspinned to a Cemetery while i was spinning i pictured it like in the Army of darkness(evil dead 3) to make it easier. So when i got there it was quite... i didn't know what to do so i pictured a cloud that would rain some sort of chemical and would turn everyone to zombies. It worked but the only problem was i still can't fly and it sucks so i spawned down a chainsaw and let them have it.

p.s

Dang its already been a year, since i joined. Went by so fast

Man, I tried to get Aphius to bet me that someone would conjur up Zombies, but he wouldn't. Smart move on his part

Thats totally what I'm gonna do, Seeker xD I'll then have a very dramatic zombie chase scenario in gothic settings 'n' such; 'twill be awesome ^_^

I'm gonna turn my back on the road and walk backwards into the traffic. Imagine doing that for real!!!!!! Should be a good test of blind faith.

Or an experiment in pain!

Rofl! I already had an experiment with pain. It didnt work :/ Stupid brain!!

I just had a monster dream that had some conspiracies, and some OOBEs mixed in with it. Several FAs, and a couple real ones as well.

I did both tasks. I did the beginner task second, it was uncontroversial. It was a bright day and there were three lanes going each way with a small median in the middle. After holding my hand out I made it across the first three lanes, and I knew I could do it. I was goofing around, and let a car accidentally clip me. Unfortunately, I could barely see at this point, and I decided to look at my hands, which were barely visible black blobs in the sea of darkness. I revived the dream and I was amazed.

The other one, I was at a college campus, walking around invisible. I was looking for pretty girls, *I DON'T KNOW WHY* :eyesdart:, and I thought why not do the lucid task instead. I was looking for a graveyard, and I saw several rows of bike racks. I was like "OK", I'll just turn the tire things into gravestones. After 1.5 seconds, nothing happened, so I decided to spin one revolution, and have it there when I faced it again. After 1/8 of a turn, the bike locks morphed into grave stones. I picked out which one was my dog, and I made the stone bigger so her picture could be on it, as well as "R.I.P."

I lost the dream at that point. I came back later and I was in a museum. Someone ahead of me was going around the corner and he said "Nice, but the next guy heard you and will see through your illusion". Wondering what was around the corner I saw a hologram of the Undertaker saying something scary. That reminded me to do the task, and around the next corner, I put four gravestones since that was all that fit.

I knew my dead pet was in the backright gravestone, so I called down lightning to give her her life back. The marble floor covering the now living exploded, and when I walked over to the grave I found a surprise. There was a very pale body folded in half, stuffed into the grave. He walked out somehow, and underneath was my doggie. I petted her, smiled at her, and she left almost immediately. She was actually a shining cluster of light rather than realistic looking like the rest of the dream characters.

The FTW part is that this was a repeated dream, and I remember turning the bike locks into grave stones, the Undertaker, and the pale body stuffed inside the grave I exploded, along with almost all the rest of it. I'll post something else on that later.

Niiiice tasks, Seeker.

Can I take any credit for the first one?

Lol How much did you try to bet

Completed Task:
I was running away during night (t'was very dark), with my dad coming after me to harm me. I was backing up facing him, and I reaced the curb of the opposite side of the street. He was in the right lane popping his knuckles when a white car (Looked like a bad paintjob on a V&W Van mixed with a Scion SUV, because it was quite boxy, and not quite as long as a van.) Anyways, I remembered the task and started slowing down time, and I didn't stop it until it had obliterated him. Oh man, the first time I ever slowed down time in a dream, and it was spectacular. I thought about raising him from the dead, but that would've taken effort to put Humpty Dumpty together again, and he probably would've still been coming after me. I'll raise the dead later.

I'm wondering...

I had a lucid dream this morning. I walked into a cemetary and raised the dead, but that's literally what happened. The dead raised from out of the ground as innanimate skeletons; about 15 of them. Does that count?

Also, during the same dream, I saw a friend's car driving down a street and decided to walk out into the road and start a fight with the car. Whilst not exactly "stopping traffick", I did stop one car. Does that count (does one car count as "traffick")?

(I wasn't even thinking about the lucid task during the second one).

It would be awesome if I had successfully complete for both lucid tasks, since I've never even managed to do one before!

More details to follow when I write up the dream in full.

Here's the dream in full, straight from my Dream Journal (red means lucid):


Dream 226 (Lucid Dream): "Fighting A Car And Raising The Dead"

At the beginning of the dream, I was boarding a passenger jet. My seat was allocated right at the back of the plane, although the plane was very different to a real one, in that the area was open, more like some trains. There was a guy sat behind me and a girl sat next to me. Most of the other seats within the plane were empty, and at some point, one of the airline assistants told me that I could sit in any of the rows 2 to 8.

I recalled seeing another plane taking off prior to boarding. There was no runway and instead, the plane simply ran down a muddy area of land by a river and took off. The plane I was on did the same.

Somehow, I had a front view from the plane and could see the plane take off, closely missing the tops of trees nearby to the river and navigating very closely between power lines. I was very worried that the take-off should seem so unsafe.

Less than a minute after taking off, we landed on an ordinary road. Five children were dressed in strange cube shaped post-box costumes and were dancing synchronously down the street, past us.

My attention drifted away from the plane, which ceased to exist. I was stood in a residential area of my home town, on a hill and suddenly realised that I was dreaming. I began to walk down the hill and saw a blue car that I recognised driving towards the T-junction on the hill. It was that of one of my housemates from my last year at university.

I decided that I would try to fight the car, walked into the road and started kicking it, hitting it and jumping on it. The car started trying to fight back by swinging around fast and moving quickly, but I was too quick for it.

Eventually, recalling that I could fly, I decided to take to the sky where I was safe from the car and throw some magic at it. I made a hand gesture and attempted to release magic from my hands, but the first attempt failed. During the second attempt, about 6 or 7 strange sparkling cartoon-like leaves fluttered down towards the car. The car disappeared and my house mate inside was there, but was also represented by with similar cartoon-like leaves.

I continued casting leaves down and for each leaf that hit, he lost one of his. After all were gone, he disappeared completely.

Realising that there was a cemetary nearby, I recalled the DreamViews lucid task and walked into the cemetary. I began to will the dead to raise from the graves, and I could immediately hear the sound of rumbling earth becoming louder and louder like an earthquake. I thought that nothing was going to happen and that I would wake up before raising anything, but as I looked to my right, I saw several cartoon-like skulls and skeletons shoot up from the grass and heard debris scatter. The skulls and skeletons simply lay there inanimate.

A few more were raised before I had a false awakening and found myself lying in a strange large room. It was night time and I did not recognise the room, but did believe it to be my own. I could see light dim but clear light, as though the room was illuminated well from through the windows by the street lamps outside. I was about to find my iAudio to record the dream, but awoke for real after this.

Heh heh, I had a "stopping traffic" dream last year. I was talking to my brother and I told him "this is a dream! We can do whatever we want!" So to prove it, I ran into the middle of the street and screamed "STOP TRAFFIC!" and held my arms out... but nothing happened. "Well, uh... sometimes it doesn't work, exactly..." I told him. Hee.

BAM! Did 'em both this time

Shortly I had a rather long weird dream or two, with a few classic dreamsigns. A bit at my cousins' place, a weird community/school event thing, which ended up with some chav and a martial art fight with a P.E. teacher, at the end of the sequence, I realised I was dreaming just as I was waking up, GAR! Sad But wait, I'm infront of a mirror, which is strange. Not only that, but I seem to have some dark makeup on, in a gothic fashion, making me look rather zombie like, so I've concluded that I'm still dreaming! First off, I havent tried anything with a mirror before, so I try punching through it. I hit it but my fist just hurts, hmm. I try again, telling myself that something will happen when I break through it, and punch it a few more times but nothing happens. I then go to do something else, but remember what happened the last two times and try something which I decided was the problem the first two times; I'm not calm enough. I tell myself to be calm, and support this with some handrubbing, as I run out the front door. Outside was normal, and I remember the tasks. Next door, I luckily have an old church building, but all the gravestones etc have gone. I look around and look back, and a grassy hill with crucifix-shaped graves has appeared infront of the church. I wasn't really happy with this and turned a few more times trying to get a church setting to develop as I turned. It didnt work though, and only a few clouds in the sky, and cars on the road changed and disappeared. I walked over and there were two men there doing a service or something. I willed two undead creature thingies outta the first two graves. Out they popped, and just stood there. I decided I'd shoot 'em for the hell of it, since any other attempts at violence so far have failed. Each time I tried to pull a gun out, though, I failed, and just ended up shooting them with my empty hand. When I turned to the men, a S&W 686 appeared in my hand, with the snub-nose barrel fitting. While telling the guy what it was, I removed the lame-ass barrel and stuck the 8" one on. After this, I tried shooting the other undead thing which had moved into the carpark. I realised that I wasnt actually shooting it, but just pointing the gun at the undead thing and saying 'bang!' Hmm. I tried shooting it more but it didnt work. I also tried shooting a turtle that was there, for some reason, but that also didnt work, ah well. I decided to move onto the next task, so I asked my gf to come see something cool, and we went leaping towards the main road. When I got there, I walked up to the center, and saw some cars coming. I tried to use a telekinesis-blast to stop it, but it wouldnt! I focused a bit more, but realised one had gone by. Turning round, I aimed at the back of it, and pulled it back, crashing it into a wall at the edge of the road. More cars came towards me, and I blasted them in the front, causing them to crash into the other cars, and create a pile-up. I kept doing this until quite a pile built up. One bus had too much force to completely stop when I hit the front of it, and it bumped into me as it stopped! I heard a generic vehicle recording saying 'please move away from the front of the vehicle'. Turning round I saw it was some poncey bus. I thought I'd try again at being insane, and dived through the front of the bus, making a scream/roar. I tried using a telekinesis blast in the two people at the front's faces, trying to make their heads explode, but all it did was make their heads inflate quite a lot. Then I woke up!

Here is a quote from my thread about my first long lucid dream:

The Lucid Task! Oh yeah, I could try to stop traffic. I thought of cars streaming past me on the road ahead of me. They all came POURING IN, it was crazy! The road in real life is never EVER that busy! So I walked up to the road and smashed both of my fists on the pavement. The result: the opposite side of the had a huge trench in it, the closest side was untouched. I thought this was strange, but anyways I had stopped a car in the trench and all the other cars were piling in behind it. I didn't think this was good enough, so I threw an energy ball into the mass and blew both lanes of traffic into hell![/b]

So yeah, there's my experience, it was pretty fun. Do I win a cookie?

Man, I don't know whether to give you a cookie or to sign you up for some councilling. Pretty violent!

A medical cookie! That's what we need ^^;

Nice tasks Seeker! Going to have some fun with the advanced one

Completed both (except found only a single grave instead of a cemetary).

Finding a car to stop was easy, there are lots of those already in my neighborhood where the lucid was taking place. I stood in front of a car and raised a hand to politely indicate to the driver not to run me over. It stopped close to me.

I didn't know of any cemetaries nearby. I tried willing their appearance around corners, but just found the expected houses. For some reason, it made perfect sense to transform an electrical box into a tombstone. I looked away and back a few times until it turned into a hazy image of grave. Next I imagined something dead looking appearing over it. While the skeletal figure was more hazy than the grave (first time I performed this kind of conjuration ya know), it was substantial enough to wake me by throwing bones in my general direction.
