Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of June 2007

Last night I completed the basic task.

I had been lucid for a few minutes, but it had been a pretty dull lucid dream; I wasn't very lucid, and was still acting more or less like I would in a normal dreaming. I was in my church after sundown, and walked outside to the parking lot. A couple times the dream almost faded completely, to the point where I could even feel my real body and see a glimpse of my room, but I quickly shut my eyes, and since I could still feel my dream body a bit, I put my dream hand in front of my face until I could see it again, and the dream came back. The third or fourth time this happened, when the dream came back, it was suddenly daytime, everything was bright and vivid, and I was fully lucid.

In the parking lot, I started running towards the nearby Wendy's, then started jumping, and then glided over a few cars to land in front of the restaurant. I took a moment to try running head-first into it's brick wall, since someone here said that it was really fun(It wasn't as exciting as he made it sound). I continued past the Wendy's, to a line of stores that does not exist in real life.

Walking in front of a small hardware store, I entered it by crashing through the front window. As I walked inside, I remembered the basic task. Walking towards the back, I saw that a section of the floor about 4 ft by 12 ft was covered in a single piece of wood. I crouched down and put my hands on the board, focusing on setting it on fire. After a second, a blue glow spread from under my fingers, over the surface of the board, and tiny blue flames sprung up wherever the glow touched.

I decided that walking through three inch high flames wasn't quite how this task would best be accomplished, so I tried to make them higher, but failed. I turned towards a clerk behind a counter working at the store, and asked him if he had any lighter fluid. He asked me what I wanted to use it for, and when I told him I was going to use it to make the fire higher, he told me he couldn't help me. Since that didn't work, I tried to make the fire higher by concentrating on what I wanted again, and once I tried visualizing the flames being higher, they grew to about six feet.

At this point, I turned toward my brother, who was now next to me. I talked to him about the task, and he agreed that I should try it. I turned towards the fire, which covered the entire length of the board, was completely blue, and for some reason there were now six foot arrows stuck into the board. I walked into the fire, which simply felt like very warm air, about as hot as a hairdryer. I walked down the board, brushing aside the arrows, through the flame. I walked through it about ten feet, and then, a couple feet from the end, I suddenly and completely woke up.

Serith: Congratulations! At least you weren't severly burned like some people!

Casualtie: I hope your dog tells you that a fat dog is always the human's fault! (Or does she refuse to go on walks with you?:p I can't see that happening!)

I did the basic last night

I was at school working on a test when I remembered that school got out several days ago and I became lucid.

Then everything around turned to flames and I just walked through them. Then I went to look for my pets, but then I woke up because my mom was trying to wake up my brother.

Moonbeam: Haha. We do spoil her, but she begs all the time and with those cute, chubby puppy eyes, how could we refuse?
Really I just call her fat because she is extremely lazy and doesn't like to get off of her chair unless someone accidentally leaves a door open or there is the fresh aroma of food about.

Hey I was going to write back and say I didn't mean to sound critical, so I'm glad you didn't take it that way. One of my three dogs is fat too, even tho she doesn't seem to eat that much. This morning when I was feeding them one of the non-fat ones was being really greedy, so I asked her did she want to get fat too, hoping for an answer--if not then, maybe tonight in my dream. Not exactly the conversation I'd hoped to have with her, but I'll settle for it.

And Chubby is cute.

Sounds fun!! I have more time this month to achieve these

3 inches.. I guess that wouldn't be much of a challenge!

What?! The clerk wouldn't help you burn down his store?! How rude!!

Very cool.. I wonder what the arrows were about?

Well, considering that I only read the task yesterday, and got very little sleep last night, I'm pretty proud of myself. I had an extremely short and unstable lucid moment this morning, and managed to almost get part two done:

I was in a crazy basement of a house I supposedly had just bought, and it was overrun by puppies. There was one beautiful older dog, possibly an afghan, though I'm not much for breed recognization. This dog looked at me as if he wanted to say something, and at that moment I remembered the task, which put me in a mild LD state. It wasn't my pet, but the closest I'd probably get, since I didn't feel incredibly lucid.

I asked the dog what he thought of me, and he said

"You don't need a stool."

I thought this was pretty obscure, though perhaps he was making reference to the fact that I was tiredly leaning on a table that had no chairs at the time.

"Is there anything else?" I asked.

"I don't know, but I guess you'll tell me," was his reply.

I then slipped back into normal dreamstate.

How'd I do?

This one was wierd. I had been lucid for awhile but once I woke up all I could really remember was the las part in which I tried to do the lucid tasks, neither of which worked out the way I had wanted them to. I had just walked out of a house and out in to a busy intersection when I remembered the tasks. I was pretty sure I would be able to do both so I wanted to start with walking through fire.

When thinking about it while I was awake I had decided that I wanted to do this one as big and epic as possible so the first thing I did was walk out in to traffic and stop a bunch of cars and trucks either by will or just
by standing in front of them and putting my hand out. One of them was actually a house now that I think about it. It was one of those trucks holding half of a duplex except the duplex was in the front with no trailer pulling it. Anyway, once I got the intersection good and clogged my plan was to make all the vehicles explode so there would be a massive fireball.

Unfortunately they didn't want to do what I wanted and none of them would explode. I managed to catch some of them on fire, and the fire started spreading pretty fast. There was an oil tanker on one side of the pile up and a boat trailer right next to it and I managed to get the fire to spread up the tarp on the boat. Unfortunately, the whole time the fire was spreading, plants were growing up around the cars as if they were trying to put out the fire. I flew up over the intersection when I thought the tanker was going to go off so I could get a good look. When I landed around the other side of the wreckage The whole thing was almost completely covered in plants and tree roots and I was now in the middle of a field.

At this point I scrapped the walk through fire idea and decided to talk to an animal. The first animal that came to mind (since I don't currently have a pet) is my dog who died a few years ago, Ginger. I turned around away from what once was the intersection full of cars and was now a grassy hill and started walking up the field calling her name. I caught sight of her in the distance and she started running towards me but I realized her hair was too long and there was also another dog coming. Since the neither of them looked like Ginger and the first one was the one who responded I decided to talk to that one.

Once it got closer though I could see that its hair was blue with white tips and it was one of those dogs with the long snout and the long hair. (just looked it up and its called an afghan hound.) She came up to me and I hugged her and asked her what she thought of me but all she said was, "No."

"Come on" I said,"tell me what you think of me"
"No. I don't want to do this" was her response.

At this point I started hearing a voice in my head that was telling me something that I don't fully remember now but I got the impression that it was saying something was wrong and to remember that I'm dreaming and walk away. I do remember that the voice used the word malevolent at some point and it was a female voice with an english accent that I had in my head was someone from this forum.

When I got the impression from the voice that something was wrong, I tried to pull away from the dog, and it tried to bite me. It succeeded in biting my hand but my fist was closed (how you should always approach a strange dog) so it didn't get a good hold, and then I woke up.

So I know I won't get credit for walking through fire, and I don't want it since I know I can do better but I'm not sure about the talking to the pet part. I would like to try it again, but I did get a response even though it didn't answer the question...

So weird, I didn't read your post before posting and hadn't even known what the kind of dog was called until I just looked it up but that was same breed of dog in my dream. I've seen those dogs before but all I knew was long hair, long snout (which is what I searched for to find the name)

I said "god mode" and a small piece of text appeared on my view, saying "God mode enabled" like it would happen in games. *

"God mode".. I like that, and the fact that a piece of text appeared saying "enabled".. very cool!!

Ok.. so maybe you don't get credit for the "grassy" inferno but I do think you should get credit for the talking dog (especially since she turned out to be a "hell hound")!!

Cool dreams everybody! Animals often talk in my dreams. But I have a feeling, that now when I actualy need them to talk, they won't say a word.

I figured they were to help the fire to grow taller. A fire won't naturally grow very high if its only fuel is an inch thick board, but it can if it has tall wooden arrows to burn.

Wow.. a strange but perfectly logical occurence in a lucid dream.. how cool is that?!

Hey, Clarity, have you tried walking through fire again? Just as a small idea, try taking a potion that will protect you before stepping into the flames. You could also put on a protective suit or create a field around yourself.

Just some ideas.


Man, I need a lucid.... and by George I'll have one!

well since its required, i guess ill post my lame attempt. lol

i had a successful WILD the other night and right as i started my dream, i noticed that i had a very stiff shoulder. Probably because i was WILDing on my side. I rubbed my hands together and instantlly all the stiffness drained from me. I then started on my quest for fire. i went to the back door and opened the door. It was dark. Again. I was tired of having lucid dreams at night so i closed the door and closed my eyes and thought on how i wanted it light outside. When i opened the door it wasnt completely light outside, but it was close to dawn, and i had some stadium lights on so i was alright i looked right out on the grass and noticed somthing that on first glance looked like fire. I walked up to it for a closer look and i guess my mind was trying to trick me because it was just a big plant that was dyed red lol. i was about to walk around the corner because i had a feeling that fire would be there, but i got distracted and instantly woke up.

well, i didnt quite get there this time, i dont know why i didnt just summon some up, i was in too much of a hurry. well hopefully ( if tonights WILD works out ) then youu will have better reading tomarrow

Ame, I haven't had a chance to try again but I will this weekend so thanks for the suggestions! I'll let you know if they work!

freefire, I don't think your attempt was so lame!

I thought it was cool the way you closed and reopened the door to get rid of the darkness... so what if it wasn't completely light outside...

And so what if you saw something that looked like fire but it turned out to be just a big red bush or something..

and so what if you walked around the corner because you had a feeling that fire would be there, but got distracted and instantly woke up.

.. wow.

Hey, good effort!! :bravo:

Clairity, that was a very cool dream you had. I think I see a pattern of your husband randomly hanging around right when you are about to become lucid!

You know he's never really been in any of my lucids before so it's weird that the last two he's been in my FAs. I think that since his allergies are acting up, and he's snoring, that he's in the back of my mind in that I'm afraid he'll disturb my attempts.
