Thread: Lucid Task For The Month Of November 2006

Introduction:

This topic is for the Lucid Tasks I assigned this month. During this month, please attempt one or both of the tasks.

Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task, your efforts should make interesting reading! This is required in order to get credit, it is no longer sufficient just to say that you did it.

Whoever completes either of these tasks gets the following goodies until the end of the month:

*** Your name will be displayed in ORANGE in the online members list at the bottom of the main forum page.

*** You will receive a special title and badge

*** You will receive access to the "Lucid Task Club" which is a limitted access forum for people that complete the lucid task each month.

Tasks for this month:

Lucid Task: Ask a Dream character - "Am I Dreaming?"



Advanced Lucid task: Witness the end of the world, come back and tell us how it all ends.

Well, in my WILD the night before last (The morning of November 1) I had a super-duper hi-tech Dream-PDA. I didn't think it up, it just appeared from nowhere. I did ask it ABOUT my dream (I already knew I was dreaming very firmly, it being a WILD and all) and it spewed out a bunch of charts and graphs that said stuff like "Lucidity 87%" and "Vividity 47%" and stuff, and heaps of other statistics. It may have said "You are Dreaming" too, I didn't get much of a chance to read the statistics. But then the PDA started shorting out and going fuzzy and smoking and, notably, VIBRATING. I had to chuck it to the floor before it exploded. BLOODY INFURIATING DREAM ELECTRONICS!

This was BEFORE I read the lucid task for the month, though. And, I'm not sure if my dream-PDA counts as a dream character... Also, I didn't ask it "Am I Dreaming", but I did ask it ABOUT my dream. So, I'm not sure whether this counts...?

Even if it doesn't, though, that dream-PDA was really cool. I've always wanted a hi-tech PDA like my dad's, and that dream-PDA, if I can get it working in a future WILD, would be really cool. I'll try to conjure it sometime in the future if I get lucid enough. Might try to get it to talk, as well. That'd be cool.

yay new tasks this time im going to do them! i like these tasks one question though cause it might pop up soon. do you have to be lucid before you ask the dc if you are dreaming?

Does it count if I asked a DC like, a month ago? They just said "Yeah", then walked away. But then again, they were dead, so I wouldn't expect them to mingle with the living anyway.

Aw man I did the advanced one months ago Grr, well this time I reckon it'll be a more '2001: a space odyssey' ^_^ I dont speak to DCs enough so the basic one should be interesting too :3

You guys have to do it this month and it has to be lucid. Sorry Meanie, a PDA doesn't count

How can you be so discrimanatory? Machines are people to!

Yeah, I didn't think it would! No harm in trying, though. Plus, the purpose of Lucid Tasks is to actually know about the task and try to do it in a dream, rather than do it by mistake. What if I can conjure it up in a future dream though and get it to speak? I think THEN it should count.

(Of course, finding a DC and asking them should be WAY easier, but hey, I always look for hard ways of doing easy things... )

Arr, I know I know, it's just cool to finally see a task I've already done coming up

Yeah i've already done this months too, I asked a DC if i was dreaming, and he said "Did you know the sun shines blue on vegas?" I said "of course yo uwould say that." then shortly after, i lost lucidity.

I've been trying the basic one ever since Seeker announced it in the task forum; no luck yet but now that it's official, hopefully I'll do it. I shouldn't be so defeatest....but there's no way in hell I can do the advanced one! Actually tho..I witnessed the end of our planet while on another planet once, but I wasn't lucid. I don't know, it seems kind of hard. It will be fun to read what people come up with!

Dang wish I'd read these before I went to sleep last night, had my first WILD, but didn't really know what to do

Aha, small rodents, random ^_^

how can you not know what to do!!! actually on my first wild i didnt have anything much to do so i just drifted through my dream, now i do crazy things like locking dcs into my school and see if they are smart enough to break the windows to get out...believe me dreamj characters are IDIOTS!!!

Grrr.... just rolled out of bed from an near WILD. Realized I was shifting into dream mode and suddenly it hit me I couldn't remember the lucid tasks. Jolted me wide awake upon realizing that. Couldn't relax enough to get back to sleep and try again.



I'll have to manually write it out the tasks this time so they stick with me next time around.

Lucid Task: Ask a Dream character - "Am I Dreaming?"[/b]

Not sure if this counts or not, but I made a DC realize they were dreaming by doing a reality check after I did a reality check and became Lucid myself.

I guess ending the world would be much more fun with me ending it, so I improvised. It was relatively fun but I would rather be doing other things in my dreams. There was alot of fire and screaming and pretty much I dissolved the earths crust by bringing up the magama. Giant fire ball BOOM! Oh yeah, I was about 30-40 feet tall and was kinda evil hence me ending the world. Destroying Tokyo like GODZILLA! W00t.

I'm seeing double ...

onder how we are going to get there anyway? Time machine? The one ring? Beheliom? The Orb of Aldur?

... Fly around the world in the oposite direction superman did to change history?

what would be the most outraguse way for it to end, though?

I did both tasks .. wanna read about it .. here it goes!

I realized I was dreaming, stood up and went outside.

It was still dark out so I stated "increase lucidity" twice and the street became bright, colorful
and full of people! It was almost like a mardi gras with people laughing and dancing around.

I remembered the first task so I approached two girls who seemed to be having a great time and asked, "Am I dreaming?".

They both laughed like it was the STUPIDEST question they'd ever heard and said, "Of course you're dreaming!"
This was weird enough but one of them also addressed me by NAME (this was the first time a dream character has ever done this)!

That task accomplished I remembered the ADVANCED task. When I first read that this task was to witness the end of the world..
I wondered if I would be too afraid to attempt it.. that perhaps the realism would be too much for me.. but it was really pretty cool!

As I stood there in the street, I simply thought "what would the end of the world look like?"

Off in the distance, I saw an enormous mushroom cloud advancing and it was sucking up everything in its path..
like a huge twister.

The landscape then shifted and seemed to bend into itself like an internal atomic bomb had gone off.

I don't recall seeing any people at this point just buildings.

I ran into huge warehouse and suddenly I (and everyone else) knew that I was in charge of saving the world!

I began to give orders as we built a huge tower out of CARDBOARD BOXES!!

We tore the boxes apart until they were just square cardboard sheets and began arranging them into a tower
sort of the way you would build a tower out of playing cards.

The tower went high into the sky through a hole in the warehouse roof and, though it would bend and sway..
I knew that it would not fall over or break and I reassured my "people" to keep stacking higher and higher.

It's strange but I can't remember what the "purpose" of the tower was!
Was it to shoot a weapon of some kind??
Was it to send a signal to some alien invader??

Whatever it's purpose it must have worked because suddenly the city is throwing a PARADE to honor me!!

Sadly, the last thing I remember is being in a non-lucid dream standing in a cafeteria line.

The end!

I'm glad I could lighten your heart!!

i nearly did it, all i remember is being in a matrix suit and feeling like i was dreaming, then this voice said "you will die along with everyone else so the ground started to erupt with fire, so i did neos superman thing and i tried to fly away from earth and i made it, but everything exploded to my knowledge, but the problem is that i wasnt lucid, oh well when i really do do it properly i will make it alot more interesting, like summoning a giant meterorite to destroy it or something like that...

I just had my second lucid ever.


I brought on the end of the world in a rush of immense psy energy; everything was there one second...simply gone the next. You guys best thank me that I made it quick and relativly painless

Vex suggested I post this here, just in case it can be counted

?
hi I guess I put a reply???
but where is it!!!!
