Wait... so for the lucid crossroads task... we're supposed to get to the place described in the crossroads website? What if it isn't the same place, it's just created by our minds?

[Oneironaut Zero]

Great advanced task. There was a while when I was trying to get to the Crossroads. I've gotten pretty close, too. This will give me a little more incentive to keep trying. And to megabenman: The Crossroads is created in your minds, anyway. Odds are it will be at least a Little different.

Vegemite is one of several yeast extract spreads sold in Australia. It is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract (a by-product of beer manufacture) and various vegetable and spice additives. It is very dark reddish-brown, almost black, in color, and one of the richest sources known of Vitamin B. It's thick like peanut butter, it's very salty, and it tastes like - well let's just say that it is an acquired taste! How To Eat Vegemite Using your favorite bread, some butter or margarine, and of course, Vegemite. Spread butter on a piece of toast or bread. Cover very thinly with Vegemite (for the optimum Vegemite sandwich you only need a dab). Dip your knife in the Vegemite, and scrape up just a bit (it will mix right in with the butter and spread easily). Some people like to "marble" the Vegemite into the butter. Eat it open-faced and enjoy! Source : Vegemite History I think I'll try it this month.

I had Vegemite once, that shit tastes funky. I think I'll opt for the advanced task this time. It's been a while since I tried to reach the Lucid Crossroads (I never succeeded).

YUCK vegemite tastes disgusting why oh WHY taste it in a lucid dream

[ilovefrootloopz]

The taste is what you expect it to be. Expect it to taste like chocolate or something.

[Pyrox]

Dang I had the chance to do it last night, but it slipped my mind. I'm gunna expect it to taste salty and taste like beer. Like it might taste like.

I've completed the advanced lucid task shortly after it was created and posted my experience in the lucid task club forum. I cant copy/paste my experience yet as i've lost access to the lucid task club forum

[Shadow Dreamer]

i've had vegemite heaps of times but never in my dreams i might try this to night if i get lucid

[xcrissxcrossx]

my goal is to do the vegimite task and if i am in a dfeep enough trance ill try and go to the lucid crossroads. 90% of my lucid dreams last a couple seconds. enough for me to eat a vegimite sandwich.

I think the lucid crossroads might be a very very advanced one. A friend of mine (who will stay unnamed) informed me not too long ago that all of his dreams have been lucid since he was 6. He is like 15 or 16 now. He also has complete control. He has tried every tuesday and thursday night to go to the lucid crossroads for the past 4 months and has not been succesfull. i think you will all find that it's going to be harder than you think.

[/b] It is hard but it depends who you are. people have many different skills. Visiting the Lucid Crossroads is basicly Creating a Universe in your head and accessing that small area. It is harder for some people than others. I have methods which i think would work but the only way to do it is to try so once i get in a deep LD ill try. and ill probably succeed.

[AlternateReality]

awesome, i was planning to go to the crossroads anyway, so i could go through one of the doors into my friends room and bring him back.

[dreamcatcher05]

I like the advanced task ill try it... going to WBTB tonight seeya

[tai]

Haven't had a LD since joining the site a few days ago, but am getting pretty close with WBTB and chocolate, neither of which I'd tried before. Am shooting for the crossroads, because the taste of Vegemite (we also call it Marmite) freaks me out deeply!

[akukei]

I just had my first lucid dream last night, do i'm definantly go try these if i do have another But vegemite is awful, hehe. Oh well. Wish me luck!!

[Mguy]

How do we know this place is even real as far as the Dream Realm goes?

[Moonbeam]

Seeker those are great. An easy one and a hard one. The vegemite sandwich is good for several reason. I think it is unfamiliar to most people, except from song and legend, so the process of finding it will add to the incubation. That is, if you are going to practice IRL first, which I am going to do. It should be good for LD because of the B vitamins. (I did have a brewer's yeast induced LD once so this should be similar). Then if it as bad as everyone is saying, maybe eating it before bed will be so odious and horrible it will carry over into a dream. (How bad can it be...?) Thanks to those who told us how to eat it, I was thinking of making it like a tuna salad sandwich, like an inch thick, like a slice of braunswager or something. The crossrroads seems very abstract and I have enough problem with concrete goals. Not that I am ruling it the possibility for myself. I hope somebody gets there and tells us about it.

[dreamcatcher05]

Man!!!, i was so close. I WBTB'd, and i had a really vivid lucid, but when i was about to dream spin i heard scream and i looked to my left and saw a building on fire so i rushed in, and started saving Dream characters and then soon i lost lucidy

[JEBOman]

I was never able to actually get to the crossroads, but I have gotten to some mock-ups of it in my mind while using teleportation methods(like the spinning one). So I usually try flying, but I can never actually find it except for last night, I spent what seemed like many minutes of lucidity just flying above the clouds not exactly sure i would find it, but then all of a sudden I saw a break in the clouds and and something that looks like the reception area in it. But as I tried to fly towards it I lost control of my flight and pluged down into the couds and upon entering the clouds I woke up and was like, "Damn".

Did this on the 25th of August I dont remember how this dream started, but I found myself lucid in this place. I was standing in the middle of a circular or semi circular area, about 300 feet in diameter (I didnt look behind me). Around the perimeter were colorful mediterranean/roman buildings a couple stories tall with red tile roofs. I was standing in the middle of a small pool/fountain about ankle deep and there was a shallow path of crystal clear bluish water extending in front of me(exactly like the thing in front of Taj Mahal but shallow). I've noticed some columns around the pool I was standing in, they extended along both sides of the path. They started out small by the pool but extended higher with each next column. Somehow I knew this symbolized lucidity. They sky was clear radiant blue. The whole experience was quite weird as I felt that my mind is recreating this whole scene according to some blueprint - as I looked at the blueprint the section shown on it phased into view. Although I was lucid the whole dream took place on several levels - the visual level, the blueprint and "the real dream". I felt like what I see is a vision rather than the actual dream and if I open or close my eyes I will snap to the "real dream". The only DC that was clearly present in the dream was my sister. We spoke of something insignificant. There could've been other DCs in the distance but I cant say for sure. Soon I was unable to maintain this whole 3 levelled dream any more and snapped to the "real dream". I found myself in the same location but without the buildings, columns or the blueprint ... Just in some empty lot with grass and gravel. I didnt take much time to look around cause I was concerned that I would forget this bizzare dream. So I woke myself up but still ended up losing a lot of detail. This dream occured one or two nights after looking at the focus picture that vex kitten posted in the lucid task forum, but my mind took it to the entirely next level. I remember thiking "whoa, you guys did a lot to this place"

[Poison Apple]

YAY I DID it. My dream started in a pizza hut when I noticed all the people were floating instead of walking anyway i decided to try and Journey to this Lucid crossroads to make it feel more real and reminded myself I am dreaming so anything I want WILL happen. I flew up into the clouds and an encounter with some Angels that took me back down to the Lucid Crossroads instead of being on the ground mine was pretty much the same as on the Lucid Crossroads website except it was floating on a cloud. It felt Very calm and tranquil. I saw a few other people walking in and out of "THE door and THE water" that were supposed to be there. Then I decided to leave and do the other things I wanted to.
