Nice, the advanced task sounds tricky . I saw the badge for it earlier without the description and couldn't work out what it was, I thought it looked like a face or a seashell! |

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true. - Woodrow Wilson

Could I substitue a really tall building rather than a cliff? Or does it have to be a cliff. |

cool tasks, although more... sadistic (?) then usual |

The first lucid task seems to correspond with something I always wanted to do anyway. There's this twenty-story building on campus, and ever since I've gotten into lucid dreaming, I've wanted to jump off that building in a dream, just to see what it's like. I don't know if that would be approved, but I'm planning on doing it anyway. |
|
Building of cliff is OK. The main intent of that one is to see what happens when you jump from something tall. |

I like these tasks. I'm going to go old school on someone's heart with a rock. Either that or test my jesus-like powers. I like the normal task a lot because something about jumping off of really high things appeals to me. |
|
I'm off on holiday tommorow, so while I'm away I think I'll try and perform Lucid heart surgery on myself while falling from a cliff. (I like to make my challenge attempts original) |

"What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?"
I know I've completely missed the deadline but this morning I managed to stop traffic as in last month's task. |

This sig is composed entirely of recycled electrons.
Basic lucid tasks completed: Stop traffic, Draw/paint a self portrait/landscape, Swing into a body of water, Walk through fire, Watch TV.
Advanced: None
Oh if the building counts then i've already done it. On the third this was my dream journal entry: |

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind. – Dr. Seuss
i jump off a cliff anyway at least once a week, in my dreams...so that shouldnt be too hard, but the second sounds very difficult... does strapping someone to a table and cutting their heart out with a rusty saw count...i didnt think so...not that i dream off those sort of things...come on...okay see my dream journal for proof...the link is in the signiture bar... |
|
"Your unsuited for the rage of war so pack up, go home, your through.
How could I, make a man, out of you!"
Just like to mention I did inadvertantly complete the first task less a week ago. I was flying, but since I always like looking at the scenary I would fall every so often and then jump off again. My dream recall is still pretty bad so I can't remember the details all that perfectly but I remember approaching the edge of the world and as soon as I leapt off it my whole sense of balance just left me, off the cliff the world was like some floating nothing, but on the edge itself it was like a jungle-gym of crators which I explored before finding a weird futuristic battle ground. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
If I choose to do this, I will become a witch doctor and pull someone's heart out a la Indiana Jones. Of course, I might have to operate on myself if I can't find any patients. Then I'll break it open, squeeze out all the clogged arteries, and then put it back together and back inside. |

humans are like sperm and heaven is their egg
"remember I will always love you / as I ..."
Distant Clone, good idea. Does it count if you do the surgery on yourself, seeing as you have a heart readily available? |
|
Okay I definitely did the first one. I went to a cliff and threw a guy off of it and jumped off with him. It's in my dream journal. I kind of did the advanced one, because I punched through a guy's chest and pulled out his heart, stomped on it, put it back in, and channeled energy into the heart. After it started beating again, I sealed up his skin and he came back to life. |

I did it . last night i was in some dream about a camelot-esque kingdom. i was in a village with a bunch of villagers and i was talking to them about their boring oppressed lives under an evil fuedal lord who lived up on the hill in a castle. as soon as he said it, i realized there was a giant castle there now. I thought, there wasnt a castle there before... and i became lucid. Then I thought about doing the task of the month, and how i could get to a cliff. I thought about changing the dreamscape, but decided this one was interesting so I would stay here and see what the deal was, and when i was done i would jump off the top of the castle. So i decided to go up to the castle to petition the lord to give the poor peasants a better life (more money more food) crap like that. so i go up to the castle and say to the gaurds id like to speak to the king. the gaurd speaks into a little wrist walkie talkie to someone who is obviously higher up then him and allows me in (a wrist walkie talkie in the middle ages? I know, WTF?) but so i go in and im led to the king. I look at him and just by the look of him I know he will never agree. (He looks like an evil king You know... hungry look, black goatee big robes and stuff, not like a nice king would look.) I already know this will end in bloodshed but i decide to go for the negotiator crap anyway. So im all please your people are starving, and hes all kill him! and then like 6 gaurds come at me with lightsabers which is weird cuz its the middle ages but doesnt make me say wtf that much because i almost always have lightsabers as opposed to swords in my LD's because i think theyre way cooler probably. so i reach behind my back and pull out my lightsaber and cut up all the gaurds like a badass jedi, and then go to talk to the king again... its weird cuz whenever i talk to people in this dream it is like kotor/oblivion... it shows a picture of their face and whatever they say kinda comes up in subtitles too... and then the king like turns into a dragon and i end up killing him with like the force and my lightsaber it was weird. then he and his throne evaporate and behind the throne is a golden, shiny door with an exit sign above it. I remember this door vividly, it had wierd symbols on it. i walk through the door and theres a spiral staircase, after the first step onto it im sort of stepping faster and faster floating up the staircase. I get to the top after what seems like a while but im sure there was no time at all wasted and theres another door, this one just like the one downstairs. i walk out and im on top of like a platform ontop of a tower at the top of the castle. theres like a lazyboy on the platform (i know another out of place thing, all which couldve made me lucid if i had not already been.) So i sit in it and i think its very comfortable and i watch as the peasants go abouot there work and i think that would be a good simple life. I remeber my goal and i take a step up to the edge of the platform and i look up into the twilight sky. It is the most beautiful orange i ever saw. I suddenly feel very tired and just sort of lean over and fall off the edge of the tower... and i fall for a bit. but then i turn up and start to fly... i fly for a long while. the sky turns from orange to purple to black to light blue to blue. i see a grassy feild with rolling hills that seems to expand forever in evry direction... there are horses and the occasional unicorn running around on them... I land on a grassy knoll and the sun is up and i lay down and i feel very tired... a horse-ish creature comes up and lays down beside me... i feel tired and close my eyes, and i woke up. |

You know whats so good about the advance task is that you can do it on an alien and think the heart is in the head or the heart could be the eye AND whats even more better is that you could just take a knife cut where the heart is and no blood whould have to come out. |
|
Im not afraid of the dark, its whats in it.
*the lights turn off and the whole room goes dark*
Oh im fin- Ahhhhhhhh its a scary figment of my imagination.

|

The only thing standing between me and total happiness is reality.
