Does it count if I didn't make the snowman come alive? I sculpted the snowman for about ten minutes, while thinking that I hoped he came to life. after I sculpted him (next part is without me doing anything) he reached inside himself and pulled out a propeller cap, put it on, then the propellers started spinning, and he flew upwards to where I couldn't see him. so back to my question, I'm not sure I did anything to make him alive except for thinking about it while making him (by that I mean I didn't give him a magicians cap :D)
I did the advanced task over a year ago. In a lucid dream I walked out into the middle of the boulevard and there was about a half a foot of snow. I got the idea to build a snowman and decided that it could grant any wish just like a genie. It seemed in the dream like this was a famous legend, perhaps?
I found a big clump of snow and started chiseling into it with my hands. I was impressed that the snow sculpted itself in addition to my own sculpting. Because of this, the project did not take too long. At first, it took the form of the head of a sort of toy soldier or band marshal. I worked my way around it sculpting and by the time I got back around to the front, it was shaped like a standing robot. I had to put the jaw back onto him because it had broken off. He started walking around like a zombie. But then he morphed into something else.
He turned into a version of myself! However, he was very confident and at ease (I was pretty neurotic back then and could hardly look a person in the eye). His posture and manner of holding himself was good and he wore a sweater and nice clothing. He was like a version of what I would have been if I had developed properly, I thought. Really he reminded me of a friend of mine that was valedictorian of my high school. He gave me advice of how I should live my life, that I should be more gentle and loving, stuff like that.
When I awoke, I was impressed that the dream REALLY PRODUCED a snowman that had the ability to grant my wishes. If I developed myself to be that, I would be able to do anything. And since then, I have gradually improved myself through work so that I am quite a bit like that snowman! Of course I had been working on myself long before this particular dream.
I think that I will again build a new snowman with the intention that it can grant wishes. I will see what happens this time!
I had my first lucid dream in a while last night, and although it was very short I still managed to (sort of) do the first task!
I was on a train, and there was all sorts of laundry around. I was looking for a pair of socks, because for some reason I was barefoot. Then I realized, "why is there laundry on a train?" and realized I was dreaming. At the same moment, I remembered the challenge, and quickly looked around for any people. The compartment was completely empty, except three or four people at the very back. I quickly went over, but they were just sacks of old empty clothes and not really people, so I said "Have a head," and heads appeared on them and they were real people :D Then I asked, "Are any of you lucid dreamers too?" and two of them said they were. I asked them where they were from. The girl said "Haikiki" (possibly thinking of Waikiki ;) ) and the guy said Iowa. Just then I saw the socks I was looking for and got distracted, and went on with the dream. It was kind of fun :D
So I know it wasn't exactly a crowd of people, but maybe I've got it anyway?
Nearly woke myself up as soon as went lucid last night. Memo to self: check height above ground BEFORE attempting spur of the moment looping the loop...
Remembered the tasks just as the crash initiated the waking process - frantically tried to build a snowman, making all the right movements with my empty hands but no snow appeared. :blue:
Then made a pathetic last attempt at creating a crowd to talk to. :roll:
Too little, too late. Oh well, at least am heading in right direction.
Tried a dose of B6 (p5p) before bed, definitely had a night full of vivid dreams. But possibly they were long overdue anyhow!
Yay, advanced task completed!
This dream was kinda weird and I'm not really sure that it counts because of the vaguenes of the dream, heard some people here refer to something called lowlevel-ld and this dream clearly was not as real as the others I've had, I had trouble recalling things of the ordinary life(more like I didn't recall things) and I seemed to flip in and out of lucidity since I did something's with purpose but not which I'd done If I were in complete lucidity(like for instence after building the snowman I built a lamp-monster and made it grow to the size of a street-lamp). How ever; I was about to wake up and for some reason I really didn't want that to happen(probably because I've been checking up on ld:ing and stuff lately), I then came to thaught about ld:ing and so I became aware(and still sleeping aswell). As I've said I had great troubles in remembering things, for instance I couldn't remember the basic task at all, but I remembered that I wanted to build a snow-man, so I did. I found out that it was hard to get snow but I took use of a nearby street-draining-hole and managed to get snow to pour up from inside of there. With the snow I built somekind of snowman with an awful out-standing mouth; I brang him to life by imagening he was petrefied and then unpetrefieing him. How ever he, for some reason, got wery upset and started, with his mouth, shooting snowballs at me... :?
Oh I tried to eat a star too but because of the low-level dreaming(?) I woke up, I didn't remember the taste, anyone who's eaten one and can tell me what they taste like?
I performed the first task last night. I was having a pretty long WILD in which I found myself in some kind of old-fashioned schoolhouse. There were 10 or so children in the classroom. I said to them, " Are there any lucid dreamers here?" Surprisingly, 2 or 3 of them raised their hands. One was a little girl in a green and white dress. I think i talked to here a little about it but don't really remember the conversation.
I then remembered the second task. I wanted to build a snowman but the floor was wooden and I couldn't figure out how to "make" the snow. Before long I got distracted. Oh well, I'll be trying this one again.
Well, first off, I would like to reiterate my question, wasn't sure if I would get an answer.
Does it count if I didn't make the snowman come alive? I sculpted the snowman for about ten minutes, while thinking that I hoped he came to life. after I sculpted him (next part is without me doing anything) he reached inside himself and pulled out a propeller cap, put it on, then the propellers started spinning, and he flew upwards to where I couldn't see him. so back to my question, I'm not sure I did anything to make him alive except for thinking about it while making him (by that I mean I didn't give him a magicians cap :D)
Second of all, I completed the basic task yesterday during a nap!
(WILD)
A really hot girl wanted to... you know... Luckily I had enough lucidity to turn her down so that I could do some more fun stuff. I remembered the lucid task (Basic) so I went to a rock concert (that's right I found a concert in my dream) I didn't see anyone playing yet so I went on stage and asked "Are there any other lucid dreamers here?" Well, everyone started laughing and that's when the dream cops scared me into waking up. They jumped out from behind the curtains and scared me so my body twitched and I was jostled back to the real world.
I'm gonna try for this again tonight, but this time I'll show those cops who's boss! :evil:
I did the first task. I was at this house and I remembered the task. So I started asking everyone if they were lucid dreamers. One girl said no, but she then said something about my heart. Everyone else I asked straight out said "no".
But then I confused last months task with this months!!! I then decided to give someone a present. I found a fluffy toy and saw a hot girl that I wanted to give it to but she was talking to this guy. So I stood by them and spotted a cat and decided to give the toy to the cat. Only later on when I came back to this site did I realize that I did the wrong task! But I thought it was amazing how I remembered to do the task in my dream. I didn't think it would be that easy!
Haha! That's great! The dream cops, policing consciousness wherever you go. You can't run, you can't hide, not even in your sleep!Quote:

07 January 2007 LUCID
(YES!!!!!)
I am at some sort of big old cider mill. There are lots of people around... lots of vendors at tables selling odds and ends. It is a fall day, sunny and comfortable. I am sitting down and just watching the scene - and suddenly know I am dreaming.
The scene contorts. I remain seated and look at my hands, which look like the air is being let out of them. I concentrate on them, thinking that this is my dream. I remain calm and breathe, just remaining focused on my hands until they return to normal. Then I look carefully around and I am in the same place.
I get up and walk to a large group of DCs, all moving in the same direction. I work my way to the front of them, turn and yell, "ARE THERE ANY OTHER LUCID DREAMERS HERE?"
There is silence, but they all stop moving for a moment and look at me with bemused expressions. Then they start walking again, smiling and shaking their heads. I shout again, "DO ANY OF YOU KNOW WHAT LUCID DREAMING IS?"
This time everybody starts talking and I can't hear a single answer. I say, "WAIT... ONE AT A TIME," and point at one. He answers with words I cannot understand, so I point at another who says, "Yeah... that's when you know you are dreaming." I said "EXACTLY! Now... are any of you lucid dreamers?"
They all start walking again. I went up behind one, tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Well, this is my lucid dream, and you are going to help me build a snowman so I can bring it to life." Another DC was listening in and said he'd help too.
But it was warm out - we need snow. I stopped them as the crowd went on. I said, "There's a big house over there. In it, we'll find a room sized freezer with so much frost in it that we will be able to make a snowman out of it." we walked over to the house and in a back door. We were standing in a big old kitchen. Looking around, I could see a frosted window to one side but no door. We went out into a hall and found the freezer door.
Inside, there were two elderly ladies working diligently on something or other. It was like they were a bit irritated with our presence, but they mostly tried to ignore us. The room was stocked with lots of junk, and two piles of ice cubes with a bit of frost. We started trying to build something looking like a snowman out of them, but it just wasn't working out and one of the DCs kept screwing it up. I looked around, getting ready to will some snow into existence or find another room with more snow and spotted another door. I couldn't get it open, but then a DC came through it from the other side. I caught it and saw it had only a little more frost than the one we were in.
I recognized that I was losing lucidity, so I stopped and looked around for detail, studying the old wooden beams and ceiling. They were a dark brown wood with a bold grain, very rough and seemingly very old. As I returned to the DCs and their futile attempt to build a snowman for me out of bits of ice, my wife stirred and I was awaken.
^^^Wow! Really cool even if the snowman thing didn't work out! :laughhard:
What will happen to the people who completed the task? Do we get any benefits or anything?
read the first post
[edit] that was callus and rude. sorry :(
Yeah... especially considering it was my first REAL lucid in like two months. Man... it's been a drought. I hope this is a sign of things to come. I was really happy with two or three a week - kept it really special, though I'd really love to do it at will, all the time.Quote:

Thank you!
Alright! Just completed the basic lucid task. After being in a lucid for what seemed like half of a day I ended up in this old-world tavern. I looked around the bar and remembered my task. After shouting out my question, everyone in the bar looked at me and then pointed to a large man with curly brown hair standing by the bar. They told me his name was Charley Brown and that he was a lucid dreamer. Interested, I walked over to him.
"So, you're a lucid dreamer?" I asked.
He looked at me "Nope, I just need to go to the bathroom." Then he just walked away.
At this point I remembered my second task and went outside. It was snowing and the snow was perfect for building a snowman. Instead of building it right there, I thought it would be a better idea to build it around a group of DCs. I spotted a soccer feild in the distance and began towards it. I made a running start and flew into the air towards it. Just as I did this I woke up. Bummer.
I imagine that it is summer time and me and J. go tubing down the river. I suddenly feel the shallowness of the water, it seems it turned into a mucky, shallow stream. I walk through the muck until it opens up again. there seem to be a lot of people stuck on the edges and emergency vehicles trying to help people. I hit a tank of some sort in the water and hop over it. My roomate N. is with us. I realize that I'm dreaming and decide not to put up with all of this. I look at J. and tell her that I'm dreaming and I'm going to go flying but I won't carry her. She looks at me and says that she can handle it. I take her hand and we fly up to my roommate's dismay. I look around and remember the task. All I see is random people stuck in areas and the river looks like a bunch of muddy puddles. I then see a larger group in one puddle and fly over that way. I yell "Are there any Lucid Dreamers Here!!" and they just start shouting and waving like a bunch of college kids on spring break waving to a helicopter. I repeat it and get a louder yelling response. I wake.
Still upset that I couldn't give anyone a gift last month, :(
I keep getting really close. In my two latest lucids, I've spent the entire dream searching for a crowd. I guess my problem is I'm try to actually seek things out in my dreams, rather than creating them. The good news is I met my dream guide. (My brother's cat. wtf. She taught me how to shapeshift, and said if I ever needed anything, she'd be "around") I'll do it tonight. I'm really really interested to have a conversation with the dreamers in my dreams. I need to think of some good question.
i finally did the first task, i was running around at high speeds, then i stopped and remembered the task so i shouted "are there any other lucid dreamers out there" and it was so loud the entire city could hear, i got no replies so i just kept on running....
I feel the same. I really wanted to see what would come of that.Quote:
