Thread: Lucid Task For The Month Of November 2006

I wasn't lucid, but i had a dream a while ago where i saw this giant meteor coming towards me full speed. The word meteor doesnt really give this thing justice. It was like a giant falling star, i remember calling it a black star in my dream, it was a giant meteor with this evil black aura(however u spell it).

Completed Lucid task:

I completed the easier task last night. Me and my mother were driving down a highway when i decided to do a reality check. I plugged my nose and tried to breath and to my surprise (well actually its becoming less and less of a surprise the more often i go lucid) I was dreaming.. First off I calmed myself telling myself to relax. Then i remembered the lucid task that I had been wanting to attempt. So i said... "Hey mom! am i dreaming?". She got very angry... she almost screamed "OF COURSE YOU ARE NOT DREAMING" And sort of stared me down. Well at this point i was like... haha whatever. And i flew out the window... my mom screaming all the while. Now from this point on i am not sure how it went, i had a bit of a hazy recollection due to the fact that i woke up in the morning and went back to bed rather than instantly writing down the dream.

It was weird for her to get angry. My mom is not usually easily agrivated. I think the reason my mother was so angry was because of two things. Yesterday we got into a fight. And just in general she thinks lucid dreaming is really weird and new age, and doesn't approve of me doing it.

I'm sorry to hear that - I never understand why people (especially parents) think it's so dangerous and "new age." They think it's okay to dream, right? So why is it not okay to know you're dreaming??
I think ignorance (nothing personally against your mom) is a big part of it - I think they think of it has a religion or doing things like astral projection or OBEing. It's just the fear of the unknown and she only loves you and is worried about you. But education is the key - but if she doesn't want to hear you out, just don't volunteer information about your nighttime adventures! (sorry, kinda got off topic...)

This is one of the reasons we don't encourage either New Age philosophy or drug use on Dreamviews. Lucid dreaming often gets categorized with these.

That's been discussed before. It's all a matter of first impressions, I'd say. Correct wording and will make all the difference. If upon finding out about lucid dreaming, someone states something like, "That's bogus!" then a better reply would be "You're joking right? You don't know about it? It's a scientifically proven fact..." rather than trying to justify it in some desparate tone. Might not be the kindest of ways to go about it but it calls up that person's feeling of pride in thinking that they've missed out on something instead of allowing them to stick to their unobjective views.
But those are just thoughts out loud.

I agree completely. She figures... its my life... but she doesn't want to hear about it. Its just ignorance.. that and she doesn't care to find out about it.

Yes yes, i've hada similar experience. My mother thinks the same thing, that its a new age kind of thing. Also my whole college thinks its new age and its mingling with the wrong thing, so i can't share with anyone.

I read about you in the adoption forum. Yeah. my parents are christian so thats where they get trouble with it. I am a christian... but i figure.. god gave us the ability to do this.. so why not throttle it.

At least you have us

Well I TOLD a dream character (a friend of mine from real life) he was dreaming and he became lucid... does this count?

Thats strange,Before I even got on this site I did the first task for this month.I tried to enter my wifes dream and accomplished it,in my mind,Im not sure if I really did because shes in rehab.when I found her I asked her that question,and she said no.I saw her as a little girl,and I seemed to have less conrol over the scenery.I still had complete control of myself.this was my last ld,and also my best.I have also seen the end but it was a long time ago,and I was the one who caused it.I found a nuclear weapon in a forest and decided to take it to my friends house.I took it out of a truck and droped it,then another vehicle pulled up and ran over it .as it whent off it went up like a rocket,when I saw it come back down it looked like the brightest sun,that was falling toward earth.as it detonated it was a typical mushroom cloud,a pillar of fire.I have yet to have another dream with an object so bright,as it was when it was falling.It doest matter to me if this is considered completing the task,but I will try in my next dream.just thought I would share.

Well, I had an LD after a long while of not having any last night, and did the normal task. Before I was even lucid, I had been flying in the dream so when I did realize I was dreaming I landed. Next to me were a bunch of people, two of them who I knew from real life. I went up to one of them, and asked: "Am I dreaming?". He kinda laughed, and said something like: "No, not really, that's kind of insane..." I walk up to the second person, and ask her the same thing. She says: "You might be, I think maybe so". After that, she said one more thing that I remember seeming pretty interesting, but I sorta forgot it. It was something like: "But then again, can you ever really know you're dreaming or not?"
Hurray for finally doing another lucid task!

A sad day for mankind....
In my dream when I flew up into space to witness the end of the Earth....



first alienships started forming a ring around the Earth and Eons past then a laser looking beam from all of the ships was hitting the Earth. It started glowing red hot. I decided to go and see what was happening on the surface....

There was lava flowing down the street and poeple screaming and dead bodies... I made a mirror appear and jumped through it into the Lucid Crossroads. I watched the Earth start Evaporating and eventually disappear all on the relative convience of a TV in Lucid Crossrads... A new adition :s

What are Lucid Crossroads?

Wow! By sheer coincidence, about 1 week into november, one of my dream characters told me that the world was coming to an end. I realized i was dreaming because that doesn't happen every day! He said I wouldn't need the shoes I was buying because radiation was spreading from the artic. I didn't really pay much attention to the fact that radiation does not come from the artic; I wanted to hear the rest. He said we'd all be dead within 6 months. I put the shoes back, and the dream ended.

Wow, that's close. And look, another Calvin and Hobbes fan!

haha.. I just realized I forgot to do the task this month even though this one was my idea =P

ah well, next month =D

There is still time.

the dream started in the twin towers that got blew down by al quida or what ever osama bin ladin called his troops

anyways it was like a school room and i was sitting at my desk when all of a sudden i looked out the window and like 3 germen bombers came and started shooting at the window well i told everyone to get down and put there metal chairs in front of them, then a smart guy in the class was like "lets stay here for a while mabe theyll go away" and all of a sudden im like no way im not gonna sit here and get bombed like the twin towers did

so i rush downstairs(wasn't that long of a walk) and i opened the front door of the place and
i saw a man outside in a car he rowed down his window and shot me dead

now i don't know how but instead of waking up like i usly would i kinda like drifted out of my body like my soul did in my dream and it hit me that i was dreaming
so i stood up and went to the wall.. like my other lucid dreams iv had its like real life
but i was bout to loose it so i leaned agest the wall and said lucidy x 1000 and it was awesome
i got perfect lucidy. so i got up off the wall and went outside i wasn't quite sure what i was gonna do
but first thing was first i had to kill that bastord that was in that car so i went over to him and i was like
your gonna die mother fucker and hes like how you gonna do it?
im like watch this and i tried to shoot a fire ball at him but i couldnt..lol it was almost embarrising so i walked away and got on the grass in front of the building then 2 guys showed up and im like ok now im kill you bastards so i to shoot anther fire ball at them but realizing nothing was happening i was thing omg i need more control i then thought bout when i was reading the dream views forum and i saw that if you ask dc's for something they'll give it to you so i then preceded to call forth my brother.. like the fire balls i miserably failed. I then went into the street... now knowing that im powerless im like fuck...
so i remembered the easy task of the month and i went up to a

old man and asked "Am i dreaming? he said "Yes you are but you dont do it often.." im like what, you know your in my dream right he then goes yeah but its ok . but i dream too.. im like um ok.. i asked another person but i was looseing lucidy and i can barly rem. after doing that i rem'd the second task of the month
and im like wow this is gonna be a little intense if i can pull it off. all of a sudden that one old man comes up to me and i said "im gonna end the world" hes like ok but im coming with you
so by now iv lost alot of lucidy lol.. but i grab his hand and tell him im gonna dream spin

so i closed my eyes and spun around. I almost woke up but i didnt.
when i opened my eyes we where in a county dark road setting
it was a pretty wicked sight anyways..
i still had that old man with me and yes.. he was holding my hand lol...

i then said hold on tight and i nealed on the gorund and tried to conjour up the end of the world but
it didnt come i then woke up instanly...damn

I would like to say this is my first post and first Lucid dream since joining so I'm feeling quite pleased with myself.

I completed the basic task last night, It wasn't the most inspired dream i've ever had but hey...

I was sat on an aeroplane next to Borat????? who wearing that lime green swiming costume thing he wears and I remember thinking this is far to surreal and became Lucid. Anyway, a good friend of mine in real life who was sat in front turned to speak to me and I took the opportunity asked him if i was 'Lucid dreaming'. This was met with a puzzled look and "are you mad". I then remember borat needed to tell me something that was really really important, at which point I woke up....... dont you hate it when that happens?

There you go.

I've had a lot of stuff concerning school on my mind for the past two months, so my lucids are scarce and I don't spend much time at the forums. I actually had this dream a fortnight ago, but haven't gotten myself to report back until now.
So, I remember being near my grandparent's house and trying to trick a dragon into smashing a box full of explosives. That didn't work out well, but I seem to have lost it from my mind and simply headed home. It's on the other side of the village and I went by foot. About half way there I was stopped by a dude about my age, who I then knew lived in the same village, yet I didn't know him in the dream (or real life). He started explaining something to me - I don't remember what he was saying, but he must have said something very odd, because (unlike when I'd met a dragon) I went lucid. Didn't need a reality check, I just knew it was a dream. First I tried to stop the DC was was still rambling about something, for knowing what he was, there wasn't really a point in listening what he was saying. Then again, DC or not, to interrupt someone mid-sentence and telling them to stop talking would be rude. So instead I turned around to examine the landscape and looked at my hand. It was a high quality lucid for my standard. I then remembered about the lucid tasks. I turned to the DC and asked him: "Am I dreaming?". I know I asked the question in my mother tongue, yet the DC replied in english (- it's usually hard for me to tell what language the dreams were in, but sometimes I can puzzle it out of the syntax or specific words I remember). He replied:"Yes, yes, of course," and added:"our energy signature readings indicate that". I suppose that's what you get for watching too much science fiction. Then I tried the advanced task. I didn't want to impose a specific end of the world, so I focused on my emotions and sort of tried to project the general idea of what I wanted manifested in the dream rather than imagining it in detail. The dream then abruptly ended, so I guess I'll remember to prefer different approaches next time...

I did it!

I had three short-ish lucid dreams tonight, all starting in false awakenings. I'd wake up in the room I'd gone to bed in (currently visiting my mom so it was her room), instantly realize that it was a dream and then go about my business. Inbetween of these dreams I also had non-lucid false awakenings in which I'd fix the lights by the bed and things like that.
Anyway...in the second dream, I went up from the bed while my mom was still in it. I asked her "Am I dreaming?" and she replied "Yeah... *looks at watch* It's about that time now, right?" This confused me to no end I then soared up to the ceiling and stated "Les poêtes qui savent voler, se mettent toujours en volant!" which would mean something like "The poets who know how to fly, always make themselves fly". Please note that I am not in fact French
Then I flew out the window, noting how cold it was outside, and flew in through the window of a neighbor girl. I then kind of lost control and the dream faded...

All in all I had an AMAZING night! It actually started with a false awakening in which I was trying to learn words from a glossary, but then Kramer from Seinfeld (?) came in and quickly browsed through the glossary right in my face. I said "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" and he replied "You have to clear yourself". LOL. How great if Kramer's my dream guide...

Successful on Advanced Lucid Task!! )

Ok, so I came home from school and I was so tired that I took a nap. While trying to WILD my mom comes home and yells at me, I'm home.. Where are you?
-.... in my room -.-'

Then she starts yabbling about a bunch of stuff, like me not cleaning my room n stuff. So I get kinda pissed because she destroyed my WILD attempt. So i roll towards the wall and just try to sleep. And all of a sudden I was Lucid in my hometown. So I try to figure out what to do, first thing I do is looking at my hands, wich are perfectly normal, trying to look at them carefully to increase reality but it didn't work that great.

Next thing I know I'm trying to convince a friend of mine that I can fly faster than an airplane that's flying directly above us and away. So i jump up in the air and fall flat on the ground, my friend started to laugh at me and i'm like " yeah, hilarious.. " Just watch... So i get my mind into it, aiming at the horizon and the next thing I know i'm flying fast like i've never done before, and after just a second i'm next to the plane but that's when I lost control over my flying.

A heavy wind passed me and I start to fall, faster and faster and I landed on a red car trashing it completely by the fall and i bounce down from the car to the ground. I'm like.. Wooops!
Starting to slowly walk away like Peter griffin would do in "family guy" Slow and with rolling eyes

And at this point I try to practice control a bit, trying to charge my hand with an energyball to blast away, wich goes quite well. I feel my hand charging with energy and I blast it away on a house or something, not much happens to the building tho

Ok so at this point I just realized.. " The Task!! " and I look up to the stars and starts force-pulling a star down to earth. And right before I know it, there was a HUGE explosion, like a Supernova, our including the other planet I pulled down exploded and, it was just amazing, soon everything whent to black and I woke up.

Ok, so I hope this counts as a succeeded attempt to watch the end of the world by causing it oneself.

Yeah same here, i'm Christian and so are my parents, i told my mom why shes buying me all this Vitamin B6, and she looked startled for a second then she talked about how she had wierd dreams when she was a teenager. (She didnt understand what i meant by Lucid Dream, lol i just let her go on) but she just said be careful with this kind of stuff. (messing with your brain and whatnot)
