Thread: Lucid Task For The Month Of May 2007

Well I had wanted to get at least one of the tasks done before the end of the month and I knew I didn't have long since I just joined a few days ago and theres only a little more than a week left in may.

Last night I had a dream that I don't remember most of, but at some point I was in a bedroom with the door barred reading out of some ancient book. I remember that for some reason I had to intone a specific passage from the book in order to avert some catastrophe, but read the wrong part so instead it summoned this creature that was humanoid, but very bug like. It was riding what looked like a horse and the humanoid and the horse seemed to be wearing some kind of full body armor but on closer inspection the armor turned out to be an insect like exo-skeleton carapace and it linked the two together so that it may actually have been one creature that just looked like horse and rider.

At this point I became aware that I was now looking at this thing out in a field and there were several other people around riding various different creatures and there were some people around me talking about different modes of transportation. It was because of their conversation that it occurred to me that I usually flew everywhere I needed to go and this thought made me lucid.

I tried to take off, and at first just jumped really high, but when I landed I just instantly tried again and the force of my fall and trying to take off again made a rubbery sort of indent in the ground and I rocketed off in to the sky. I flew out over a bay that was next to a large city and tried to decide what I wanted to do with this dream. I had read a thread last night in which someone mentioned trying to fly as high as possible which had never occurred to me before so I started flying straight up, but then I remembered the tasks of the month. I wasn't near any trees, but I was right over a body of water and I remembered that spiderman type swinging was allowed so I shot out a rope at the nearest building and let myself go in to a free fall.

At this point I was probably about 80 stories in the air and the building I was swinging from was far away enough that the bottom of the swing brought me almost to touching the water. I continued to swing till I peaked and then let go and flew through the air (flying in the way you actually would after swinging on a rope). As I fell back down towards the water I went in to a forward dive and when I hit the water I went down a good 30 feet. It took a long time to swim back to the surface and I woke as soon as my head came out of the water.
