lol, i'd like to see what happens when you try that.
whole world fills up with soapy bath water or something...

Hahaha. At Alternate Reality.

I had to go through the same thing, Deathly Hallows. I've only seen snow twice in my life, and only once was it actually enough snow to enjoy it.

I got the Advanced Task Done, though!!!
Kind of embarassing, what happened, though. >.>

Dream Four
"Advanced Lucid Task Completed"
This dream was about a keg party I’d gone to, last weekend. The house belonged to a guy that I’d just met, that night, and the party was out in the backyard. They had a homemade half-pipe out back and everyone was just kinda hanging out, around it, getting drunk.

I don’t remember much about the dream, before becoming lucid, but I think it was just a recognition of being this being the same party I’d been to, a few days earlier, that made me realize I was dreaming. Immediately, I disassociated myself with everything that was going on and tried to think of what it was I wanted to do, when I became lucid. I’d completely forgotten about looking for the old man and the first thing that popped into my head was the lucid task. The snowman was the only one I could remember at the time but, seeing as how I was at a party, it would have been the perfect time to ask if there were any lucid dreamers around, to complete the basic task.

Anyway, I was looking around this snowless backyard and thinking “Great. How the fuck am I supposed to build a snowman? Do I make it snow? Do I just manifest the snowman? Do I just manifest enough snow to Make the snowman?” I figured that just manifesting a complete snowman would be kinda cheap, so I figured I’d make one from scratch. At first, I tried just making the round sections of snow appear, one at a time. I held up my fingers and tried a little wizardry, but I couldn’t get anything to appear, no matter how hard I tried. So then, I figured making it snow might do the trick, but that didn’t prove to be much easier. I started concentrating on visualizing a snow-covered scene. I was thinking about everything that I could associate with snow, convinced that, the more realistic that I could visualize it, the more solid it would all be and wouldn’t just be a fleeting concept of snow.

I was thinking off everything snow related, Christmas decorations, sleds, everything. Even before the snow, there were huge Christmas ornaments like Lawn Santas and shit just appearing all over the backyard. But I just Could NOT make it snow. I even stopped once to look at my hands and solidify the dream. I kept trying again, though, and finally got a hazy bit of snow to just layer the ground. It didn’t even fall from the sky, it just appeared. Then, “telekinetically” I started rolling some snow and sticks around with my mind. Finally, I made the snowman, but it was partially hidden behind the half-pipe. I walked over to it and, since the only light in the backyard was coming from the half-pipe, the area behind it was almost pitch black. I could barely even see the snowman, but I was able to manifest a carrot or something for the nose (can’t remember exactly what I used, but it was orange) but I don’t think I took the time to put eyes or a mouth on it. Next, I was thinking about bringing it to life. I’d never brought something to life in an LD, before, and I tried to make it as simple as possible. I simply decided that this snowman was now “alive” and then I just stood there, looking at the shadowy white figure and waiting for something to happen.

All of a sudden, this snowman comes to life and just starts straight-up assaulting me with snowballs. It was like the snowballs were just appearing in the snowman’s hands, as the ones before it left, and they were coming at me like machinegun fire. (This seemed completely random at first but, now that I look back on it, I’m reminded of that movie where Michael Keaton becomes a snowman and starts machine-gunning all these snowballs at some kids. It was like that but a lot more brutal.) It was so bad that, even though I was lucid, I had to run off to the side and duck and dodge all these snowballs because I was getting completely overwhelmed.

Somewhere around here, though, the dream lost all solidity and faded away.

Haha, funny dream Oneironaut. Are you the first to manage the advanced task?

This is too funny! I remember that Michael Keaton movie and I can picture exactly what you're describing!!

What is it with all the snowmen attacking their creators???

to O

BohmaN: Nah, it looks like there are some other people that have gotten the task done, earlier in the thread.

Clarity: Funny as it may be, there is something about getting owned by a snowman (that you created, yourself) that's just not good for the self-esteem.

This is quite annoying to those of us who are living with the stuff yet can't do it. But congratulations anyway.

(Have you ever seen snow falling? Or just after it is already on the ground? IRL I mean.)

Thank you, Moonbeam, and sorry 'bout your frustration. Keep it up!

But to answer your question, I've only seen it falling that once. I was in Georgia for the big El Nino "blizzard" of like, what was it, '95 or something?

Aside from that, I've only seen a (very) light coating of it on the ground, and on rooftops, in Texas. I can't remember ever seeing it here in Central Florida, though.

I have an idea for a super advanced task

Snow-slayer Calvin!

This was a really fun task. I felt rushed to make him but it was one of the funniest dreams I've ever had.

ADVANCED TASK COMLETE!
I realize I'm dreaming when I'm on campus and I'm heading the wrong direction and could've swore it was the right way. I then hear the bus and fly up to see it approaching. I feel whoever I was walking with grab onto me when I rose up but then after 8 feet up or so felt him drop and heard a light thump. I flew over to the buses and landed on the sidewalk. Some people were encouraging me to come with them and then I remember the Advanced task! I closed my eyes and tried to will it to snow. ...Nothing... then i tried again and before opening my eyes and said "look, its starting to snow!" and when I opened there were flakes falling and a light layer on the ground. I solidified the dream by rubbing my hands together and when I looked up from that there was a lot of snow! probably 1 1/2feet! I start to make a snowman. I grab a handful and make a ball then throw it at a hill and hope it runs downhill and builds up. I give that up and see a large pile from when they clear the sidewalks. I basically leap towards it and start clearing around it for a base. While I'm making the mid-section I see some strangers and say "hey, wanna help make a snowman then make it come to life?" The guy was the only one really excited, the girls he was with seemed hesitant. The back side of the snowman wasn't cleared out yet when the head was almost done. I looked back there and saw a bunch of coal and like 3 carrots in a snowpile. I am trying to work quickly cause I don't think its going to last long. I grab them and try to put them on the head but they keep falling out. I get frustrated and say "its done" and pretend he looks fine when it really looks bad. I step back with the 3 others and say "now we need to make it come to life!" They all look at me and wait. I put my hand behind my back and ask one of the girls to give me my magic wand. I soon feel it and point and say "you're alive!" and look at the snowman. He doesn't look bad at all. In fact without me knowing he obtained some thick round glasses, a bright green hat, a mustache and a piece of coal for a nose. He was kinda funny looking. I started laughing with the others really loud. He seemed like quite a jolly snowman, and he was singing some christmas song I think. I thought I was laughing so hard that I might laugh myself awake. Then Mr. Snowman approached us and the way he moved was also very funny. He started to say something but we were laughing too hard. I said "wait everyone he's talking" and asked him to repeat it and all of a sudden I lost sound. I saw his mouth move but it was a sentence I couldn't make out. I look at my hands to try to solidify the dream but end up really moving my hands together in my bed.

^^^that's a good one!

So I don't know if this really counts since I lost lucidity rather fast, but here's the short LD I had last night.

I'm in some narrow street of a town, the architecture looks kinda like the streets of Venice. Anyways, someone I know walks up to me, and he quickly asks me what time it is. I look down at my wrist, and notice I'm wearing a watch. I quickly realize that I'm dreaming, thinking to myself that I hadn't been wearing my watch for a couple days. I tell the guy something like: "I don't know, but thanks for getting me lucid!" and he just kinda walks away. There are a bunch of platforms above me, and I fly up to one of them. There are like two people there, standing around, and I think about the basic ld task. Although I just see those 2 people, I decide to try anyways. I shout out as loud as possible: "Any lucid dreamers out here?" For a while, there's no answer, and then I hear someone answer yes. I fly up to the platform above, and there's some royal-looking person on a throne. I don't exactly remember if it's a he/she, because the person looked kinda like both, but it just might've been a she. Anyways, she tells me that she's a lucid dreamer, and I quicky lose lucidity. She started talking to me about a bunch of missions she wants me to do for her, as an apprentice or whatever, to learn how to have more/better lucid dreams, and the dream continued for a while after that.

I just got 11 inches of snow where I live; Near Seattle, Washington. I don't LD yet but maybe I will get some snow in my dreams along with RL.

I did it! I did it! I would have done the advanced Lucid, but I couldn't remember it.

Before the dream shifted, I was on a never-ending staircase going to a Nickelback concert.

Then I was at a Nickelback concert with LM, and somehow "fell asleep". I saw my Dad, brother and LM. I realised I was dreaming "Brother, we're dreaming!". I tried to get my brother's attention but he wasn't looking at me. So, concentrating, I conjured a lemon and threw it at his head. Bullseye- he turns around. So I ask, "Are there any Lucid Dreamers here," And my brother says "yes" (even though in RL he doesn't Lucid Dream... that I know of- he's so secretive)

So I say to myself, "Yes, I did a lucid task!" and then I ask the group, "how would you guys lke to fly?" I hear a chorus of "Yeah!" and then I say, "with a jetpack," and LM screams "YEAH!!!" So I say, "Ok. Follow me,"

Knowing that it is easier to find an existing thing than to conjure it (I learned from the lemon) I searched until I found a DC by a warehouse. I said to him, "Hi Dave!" and he replied, "Hellow. What can I do for you?" I answered, "We need some jetpacks. Do you have any?" And he smiled and said, "Of course. Let me get them!"

After a few minute, 5 tricycles were in front of us. I thanked Dave who had vanished). We all got on the tricycles and started peddling. Once we reached a hill, I started to lift off the ground. I cried,"this is like ET!!!". However, I only did a huge loop back to the ground again.

Then I "woke up" and was back at the Nickelback conert. I was upset that i missed a big chunk of the concert, but happy thatI did a task. Then I really woke up.



I am really happy- my first task ever!

damn! soo close I had a lucid dream, but I didn't do the tasks in time and i woke up

I tend to have dreams where I have a person with me, like a dream friend. Anyways, I had a dream the other night where i was in some sort of backyard and I had a male dream friend with me. We were doing something in the dream ( I do not remember what) and for some reason I decided that the best thing for us to do was to fly away from what was going on in the backyard. I took my dream friend with me to climb to the top of this sort of tower of things. When we got to the top I said ok we have to fly now, this is gonna be fun so lets get lucid first. I became lucid ( and assumed my dream friend was also) and we flew over the backyard and away from the dream. It was a basic lucid dream, nothing too special. but I have always had dreams where I was around differnt dream friends and for some reason I have always have thought that they were just other people that happened to be in the same dream at the same time. Probably just a silly thing that I came up with but I really like to think that its true.

Yesterday I dreamt that I was flying. So, of course, I became lucid! I flew around for a while over a rocky coastal area and then dove down into the water. Remembering how fun it was to breath underwater, I slipped under the waves to see what I could find. I saw a bunch of people studying a new species next to a rocky uderwater cliff. The animal was an eel with an owl head and it looked so real that you could have seen it in a zoo aquarium. I followed the people to their underwater office where we dried off (somehow) and went inside. I was walking around meeting different people and found myself in a lobby area. There were about 15 people there. I shouted, "Hey who else is lucid dreaming here?" Nobody seemed to hear me so I said, "Hello! Is anyone else dreaming??" Everyone turned and looked at me, and all but three people raised their hands. You should have seen the looks on their faces!! :What the ...?:

I came really close! this is my second day learning to lucid dream and I actualy lucid dreamed! I just became a member. it was cool b/c i didnt ask a crowd of people but i did tell my sister (who was in the dream) how to lucid dream. even though i knew it was a dream i must have been thinking more about lucid dreaming than the fact it wasnt real b/c i didnt realize my sister wasnt real in the dream. anyways, i like the magical snowman task, i'll try for it tonight. do i get a badge for just lucid dreaming for the first time?

Cool. Nice tasks.
Let's see if I can still make both happen this month
I'm out of practice, after all.

So, when do I get my badge for completing the task. Or does only the advanced task count?

Well, I think I completed the first task.

My memory of the dream starts at the point just before I became lucid. A DC, my friend Jasmine, turned around to me and asked me if I wanted to become lucid, I said okay and so I did. WHen that happened, a wide, blue staircase appeared in the wall next to me. I walked up it to find a room, but a strange one. It didn't have a floor, more a criss-crossing pattern of thin bridges(strangely, the whole thing was in the colours of this forum). At this point I remembered the task ad yelled out (there were a few people milling around) 'Is anyone else here Lucid Dreaming?' There was no reply. So I said it again, and this time people took notice. Most of them just asked me what LDing was, but my brother turned up for some reason and I think he might have said yes. Jasmine stayed strangely silent.

After that, I considered doing the advanced task but there wasn't any snow (it never occured to me to make any) and the floor was precarious so I decided against it. And that's all of the dream relevant to the task.

(Irrelevant, but each month my brother and I have a kind of competition to see who can complete a task first. I have more LD's, but unlike me he rarely forgets to do the task so the chances are about even. And this month I won! )

LOL at the thought of lucid dreamers all over the world trying to make snowmen in their dreams!
We could be consulting the gurus of our subconscious, making love with mermaids, 'eating at the finest restaurants in the universe' etc, but no...

Was fully lucid last night, and was having a whale of a time flying about in some kind of super spy adventure movie - then I remembered my real mission impossible: to make and animate a snowman. I immediately stopped everything, flew to halt and set about my task. Dutifully I tried to materialise one between my outstretched arms - nothing happened. Then I thought 'perhaps if I make a very small one, then make it grow?' so I focussed on some grains of dust at my feet and tried again - but it was just as hard. I then began to panic as I realised that I was wakening. Did various things to stabilise the dream, but I was still drifting awake, and could sense my body. I considered shouting 'INCREASE LUCIDITY NOW!' but only whispered it for fear of waking my partner lying next to me. Finally got distracted by something and lost it...

Still laughing

Not be picky/annoying, but Kyhaar and I got the wrong icon.

I had you both down as completing the advanced lucid task. That is correct no?
I changed it but I am guessing you will want it back to the advanced???
