Lucid Task For The Month Of April 2007

[Seeker]

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: Meet up with the Easter Bunny, do with him wat you will. Come back and report what happens. Find a tree and merge yourself with it so that you totally become the tree

[Adanac]

These both sound awesome. I think I will actually try to do them!

[Moonbeam]

What do you mean, "Do with him what you will?" Like steal all his candy? Un-hide his eggs? Well I guess rabbit-violence is bound to happen, so I see you are just accepting it ahead of time-- probably wise. I'm getting to work.

So, in preparation for today, I decided to attempt the tasks last night. I succeeded early this morning with the beginner task, and posted it into my DJ earlier: Anyway, back to last night, I was attempting to visualize the Easter Bunny, and trying to figure out how to find him. It occurred to me that the bunny I was seeing in my mind's eye was the mall one. So I went with that. I visualized myself at the mall as I started falling asleep. At some point I was in an office, and making copies on a copy machine. I knew that if I started making copies of body parts (like my hand, face, etc) that I'd become lucid. WTH?? IDK, but anyway, so I did that. Just as I was about to rip my clothes off (again) to sit on the machine (I have issues...), I saw the Easter bunny's face peeking at me through a cubby on the other side of the desk I was at. I was like, "OH YEAH! The LTOTM! HEY! Easter bunny! Come over here!" He started hippety-hopping away. I chased after him. "Come here, you Easter Bunny!" I was on a wild hare chase, apparently. I never did catch up to him, because I woke up. But I feel that I completed that task. It was to find him and do whatever you want. ::shrugs::[/b] For anyone interested, I attempted the advanced task, but failed as of yet: SO having done that, I really wanted to attempt the advanced LT. As I fell asleep, I concentrated on becoming Lucid in a meadow with a tree. When I fell asleep, I found myself in front of the property of the house we had that burned down when I was 16. (It's an empty lot). I was in front of a tree there--not the one that actually *is* there, but a smaller one. I think I just became lucid somehow and decided to try the advanced task. I stepped forward toward the tree, and I think I just got my belly and the front of my legs kind of into the tree, but not actually "into" the tree. I woke up. It was kind of a pickle, because my usual method for staying asleep is to spin in circles, and I couldn't do that, as the tree was rooted. I'm sure in the next couple of nights, though, I will complete the advanced task. [/b] Just to make sure, I may have "oopsed" on this--I didn't want to forget my dreams, so I posted the task in the DJ earlier today... before the tasks were posted. I did wait until last night to attempt these because I didn't want to do them too early. Was this okay to do, or if (in the future) something like this should come up, should I keep my big mouth shut until the tasks are posted?

I've been meaning to attempt transforming myself into a flower lately, so a tree wouldn't be too much of a stretch I dont think.

[Man of Shred]

Will definately have to try the tree one!

I did the both one last night (lucid parts in blue) You don't want to read this if you like the easter bunny I was reading my book on Arabic and noticed that it was written in Hebrew. I knew that it was a dream. I went outside and saw the easter bunny in a meadow. I went up to him, grabbed his basket of eggs and threw it to the ground. I then impaled him on a tree branch. I then cut his head off with an ax. I took his head and threw it into a group of small children who went screaming off. I then jumped on a tree and my body became part of the tree. I then killed a bunch of hippies who were calling me their king. I then woke up

And triple X: think Ents! Not Wizard of Oz!

[Pyrofan1]

leprechaun shot himself?[/b] No, my leprechaun said I was sexually harassing her.

[Moonbeam]

Were you the one whose leprechaun shot himself?[/b] That was ThisGuy.

[Casualtie]

The Easter Bunny one was expected, but that tree one.. ..sounds very fun to try. I think I will. Nice idea whoever came up with it!

[metcalfracing]

Does it matter what type of tree? Specifically, can I be a banzai tree?

[slimslowslider]

A banzai tree? Is that one that commits suicide?

[metcalfracing]

... no, actually its the really small one that I have on my coffee table...

[Seeker]

You guys are getting too bogged down in the details Be creative here, let's see what you've got!!!!!

[slimslowslider]

Metcalfracing - Cool! Does your small banzai tree charge fearless into battle against overwhelming odds? WOOOOOO!!!! :yumdumdoodledum: :yumdumdoodledum: :yumdumdoodledum: Tried and failed the task the advanced task! Was trying to get home through some ghetto - no buses, taxis not stopping, crackheads loitering etc. Went into a shop for something and noticed a newsapaper article about how this area was the new murder capitol of the world. Something spooked me into an LD (the gang converging from all sides?) - rather than kicking arse I remembered the task - but this was full-on concrete jungle - no trees. So... flew up to a roof and sat on a low wall - I thought I was bound to see one... but no. So then I thought "Seeker surely won't mind if I just merge with this parapet instead? Its bound to count because it's inanimate matter - much harder than a tree!" (seemed to make sense at the time) I bounced back a few times, then got part of my body inside (although I could hardly say 'merged' - which I imagine to be more psychological/spiritual...) Anyway - then I got confused and wondered if maybe I wasn't dreaming afterall, so I did the nose RC for the first time ever, and it was so funny I kept doing it - for a minute or so! It sounded (and felt) like one of those footpumps with two valves, crossed with Darth Vader. I wondered what my body was doing whilst this was going on and got confused again - because although I was doing the RC I wasn't holding my dream nose with my dream finger and thumb - and wondered if perhaps my sleeping body was doing that? So I checked-in on my body *DOH!* Felt the sun on my face and heard my partner moving about - tried spinning but I was past the point of no return. Woke up. The end.

[TripleX223]

wouldnt it be funny if he wasnt dreaming?

[l3xicon]

Well a very interesting thing happened to me this morning, I was lying in bed, trying to induce a WILD, I was imaging this very picturesque view, full of trees, birds, flowers and a river, I imaged myself hugging a tree, because the task of the month was to merge with a tree and was wondering how, when I was dreaming, I would do it, this lapse in concentration for a bit though me into my dream state, I thought to myself "awesome prepped and ready to go"� in a moment's thought my arms began to sink into the tree and my skin turned the same colour as the tree. When the full process of the merger was completed, which felt like my body was bussing all over, the tree went in to this beautiful bloom and I was looking at 3rd person at me, the tree. A very interesting experience, thanks for the task. Now just that damn illusive bunny

[Lunalight]

This may or may not cut it, you be the judge: ( I skip the first part because it has nothing to do with trees, read my DJ if you want to see it) I was right back on the street. I remembered the LTOTM and came to some trees that were in the middle of the road. I thought for a second that I should merge myself into bigger trees, but then decided against that. I stepped up to one and merged myself into it. I stayed in there for a second, able to see out the back of the tree and unable to move. I tried to move my arms,(branches?) and was pushed out. The tree grew two glowing red eyes. The other six (I counted) trees did the same. They started to chase me. I yelled, "TORCH!" (I'll just burn them up, right? WRONG&#33 The trees caught on fire and continued to chase me. I felt the dream fading again and spun. I had another FA, and put my head through another window. But then I remembered that I had to go to school, so I forced my eyes open.

[ivey]

Aw rats! I was excited to see what my bunny with wings was going to look like........

[WindsOfPlague]

always have to include the holidays.. this one should be interesting.

[Vex Kitten]

I had already considered doing the tree thing, on my own. Cool that it's a lucid task. I've been feeling up trees for about a week now in preparation. And that poor Easter Bunny. Do with him what you will? lol Hope we have no one with a beastiality fetish on the board for EB's sake.
