Thread: Lucid Task For The Month Of April 2007

The tree one sounds mega trippy... im not sure if i have the skill... and thats not the kind of thing that you can make happen by pulling a magic wand out of your pocket... this will challenge me muchly... i like it. It will improve my skills insanely if i can pull it off.

"Merge yourself with a tree", hmm... Does it count if the tree eats you? I mean, technically, if it ate you, you would "totally become one with the tree".

But you would also be dead...

FUNNY!!

I guess I had thought of it more like walking up to the tree and letting your dream body kind of melt into it, but, if you can accomplish it by letting the tree eat you.... Sound painful though.

Hmm...thinking of tasks involving Veuns fly traps....

...

But who wants to be tree poop?

You just got inside my head
I just noticed the new tasks are on.
I'm gonna try either one or both of them tonight.

Pyrofan...

I did seek professional help. The only good thing that came from that was the shrink now owns a yacht... paid for by me.

I don't have any animal love issues. I'm perfectly content rubbing up trees.

I just completed both lucid</span>.



Then I saw my family waiting for me. My dad (who is dead) was there.

Seeing my dad triggered lucidity. I went up to him. I thought "It&#39;s been so long".

I reached out and took his hands and noticed the way his skin felt.

I put my face to his and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek. It felt so real. Just like it would have in real life. I almost forgot what I had wanted to be doing in a lucid dream. I just wanted to enjoy being with my dad.
But then he said something to me about my mom. I looked over at my mom, then my sister. Then I remembered.

<span style="color:#8B0000">"C, you have got to come with me to find a tree&#33;" I ran out the building. She called after me, "Don&#39;t you want to take the car?"

I said, "I don&#39;t have time--any tree will do. There&#39;s got to be one close-by."

I ran out and saw that I was in a plant nursery. I looked around and saw no trees--just smaller plants.

Then I looked on a top shelf and saw a small tree in a pot. I jumped on the shelves and started to climb. The customers didn&#39;t like what I was doing and started to complain. I ignored them. I made it to the top where the tree was only to find out it was more of a vine. It was quite small.

Disappointed, I jumped back down and took off running.

I was now in a park. I saw over to the far end what looked like a big tree. When I got to it, though, I saw that it was hollowed out into a kids&#39; play place. I could hear kids laughing inside and the splashing of water. At first I thought I would still try to hug it. But I realized that it was dead. I didn&#39;t think I could merge with a dead tree.

Finally in the very corner of the park I was a medium sized cottonwood. I ran to it. It&#39;s trunk wasn&#39;t very big (diameter of only 10 inches or so) but I grabbed ahold of it and started hugging. I hugged and hugged.

Then I started asking myself what "merging with a tree" was supposed to feel like. Had I merged yet?

I opened my eyes. I could see my shadow holding the tree. I figured as long as I could see my shadow separate from the tree I hadn&#39;t "merged". So I kept hugging, occasionally opening an eye to look at the shadow.

Finally I started to feel dizzy. I could tell something was finally happening. I couldn&#39;t see anything recognizable, and I felt like I was hanging upside down.

"I merged, " I told myself.


Then I thought about the basic Task. I was still dreaming. I figured I might as well try that one as well. As soon as I thought that I was back out of the tree and back to just hugging it.

I let go and looked around. There seemed to be some sort of Easter activity going on at the park. I guessed that they had had an Easter Egg hunt earlier. I saw a paper plate on the ground by a picnic table which had a picture of a pink Easter Bunny on it.

I started running again. I tried to decide if I was looking for a real bunny, a cartoon bunny, or someone dressed up as an easter bunny. I decided that which ever one I found I would count it.

I finally looked over and saw an Easter Bunny sitting in a chair. At first it looked like a person in a costume. But as I got close I could tell it was much too small for that.

He had just finished talking to a child. When that child left, I said to him, "Hello, Easter Bunny."

"Hello", he said back in a robotic sort of voice.

I couldn&#39;t think of anything to say to him, so I politely said, "How are you doing, Easter Bunny?"

"I&#39;m doing fine, " he said back.


Suddenly I got excited as I realized I had completed both Tasks and unfortunately that woke me up.

Both tasks for me too&#33;

The Easter Bunny stole my f***ing pants.

I lold.
Wait a sec, you have special pants for that activity?

I did the advanced task.

I was being chased throught the forest by Anti Video Game soilders (dont ask ) when i thought, this is pretty crazy, I must be dreaming. I did an rc and became lucid.

There was a pretty big tree nearby, so I tried to materialise a mirror using all kinds of ways. I tried voice commands, turning my back and expecting it to be there when i looked back, but nothing.
Then I remembered the tree task thingie, so I just forgot about the mirror and tried to possess the tree.

Basically I hugged the tree and tried to think plesent thoughts about my body melting into the tree and it worked pretty quickly. I couldnt see anything, but I could smell wood, and I could feel myself breathing through the leaves, but the clarity of the dream was lacking overall so I cant saw how much of the experience I was missing out on.

Then I jumped out fo the tree and tried spinning around to clarify the dream only to find myself back inside the college/laboratory I was previously escaping from. I went with the flow of the dream at this point and basically gave up my my lucidity since the previously scheduled dream was pretty fun.

no, this person was a woman who was basically a "good" version of Jack Thompson, instead of being a closed minded zealot who hates gamers, she just wanted parents to be well informed of the content in games so they could choose wiesly for their children at their own discression

Jack Thompson overthrew her and started using the army for evil.

Aha, I see.

I have a complaint. The last two months, both tasks have been to make something appear (leprechauns, snakes, bunnies, trees) and then do something with them. I do have a slim chance in hell of doing the tasks that just involve making myself do something myself (i.e., asking someone to be my valentine, jumping off a cliff, performing open-heart surgery) but I don&#39;t think it&#39;s fair to have both the easy and advanced task involve "conjuring" up something.

Yes, I&#39;m bitter. I&#39;m sorry. I know it&#39;s early, but I&#39;m already frustrated. Since I evidently will never get into the exclusive club again, please take this into consideration in the future. Some of us are trying but it&#39;s too hard&#33; Just tell me to do something&#33; Not "find" this or that imaginary creature. For the easy task at least. And make the hard task harder&#33; So people don&#39;t like just do them in the same dream in the first week&#33; (No offense guys it&#39;s just because I&#39;m jealous.)

Moonbeam, I&#39;ll take your suggestion and do something on a different theme next month for the basic task.

For some reason I can&#39;t see the badge. (the pic)

Thanks. I just have so much trouble making something appear, but I may be able to make myself do something. Just whining.

I guess you&#39;re allowed to have a life.

I think that was what he meant--he hasn&#39;t gotten around to doing any badges yet because he has stuff going on IRL. Unless I misunderstood, in which case I can&#39;t see mine either.
