Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of June 2007

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: Walk through fire.



Advanced Task: Ask your pet what he/she thinks of you. You only get credit for this task if your pet replies.

if you don't have a pet, can it be a lucid one?

'cause I've been trying to find my lucid dog for quite some time now

I don't know if it must be yours (or someone else's) real pet or if it can be your own lucid pet

love the ideas though

Well, since Moonbeam and I dreamed up this task, I feel qualified to answer it.

Any animal will do, whether it exists in RL or not. I'm specifically seeking out my own dog.

Seeker - you might want to note that the animal one is the Advanced Lucid Task.

seems good, gonna try my first wild tonight!! lucid tasks really are good fun.

Cool, im gonna get on it tonight advanced and basic.
PJ, nice idea btw i really like the advanced i would love to see somthing that weird.

Does the advanced task require a verbal response? What about non-verbal responses (e.g. - dog humps your leg)?

Hmm....Getting a response from my pet might be easier for me that walking through fire. I am afraid of fire and have never seen it in my dreams. We'll see!

Am I the first? Wow - that was cool.

Here's the relevant parts of the dream. The rest of the dream can be found in my DJ:

My son is standing behind me, and I ask him where our dog Lucky is. He doesn't know, so I call her and start walking. I soon hear the jingle of her collar and see a small brown and white dog playing with our daughter. "Is that Lucky?" I ask? My son says yes, so I kneel down even though she doesn't look exactly right. She is acting right though!

I say, "Lucky, you can now talk. Let me hear you say something." She is laying with her head between her paws. She moves her lips and says "Yes" in an eerie high-pitched voice. I smile, knowing that the advanced task is in the bag. I ask her, "Tell me what you think of me."

She says, "You make me happy." Then she rolls on her back with her tail wagging furiously. Looking down toward her belly, she says, "You make that thing waggle."

I am satisfied. I get up and decide to wake up because I don't want to forget any of this.

Congratulations but I am mad that you beat me!

Good idea to say "you can talk now." I've just been saying IRL to my dogs,
"Say something to me! Tell me something!" to try and get it to happen; but I think that may be a better idea.

Thanks, Moonbeam. I really didn't expect to crack this one before you did.

Seems like the break that you took and starting over like from scratch helped.

pj, that is so sweet and it sounds just like something you'd expect a dog to say!

im diggin the fire task

Clairity - if it were my call, I'd give you credit for the advanced task. Anybody who has the nerve to approach and talk to a freaking possum - and get a response - has earned my respect!

You never actually got into the fire... I don't think putting your hand in is enough.

I didn't expect to hear anybody say it was painful though! It will be interesting to hear others... and to try it myself.

Cool dream, through and through!

Isn't it funny that we think enough of these tasks to deliberately wake ourselves out of perfectly good lucid dreams so we can get them written down?

I was so happy to hear that from her I was getting choked up.

Hehe, thanks Clairity. It was my first lucid in a while, I'm dead chuffed I remembered the task.
Sorry to hear about your parrot delpiero, it's nice you got to talk about the good times *Edit* in your dream */Edit*.
One query about the badges, mine was a fire-dream, but my badge has a "q" in it. Whats the deal with that? It's still very cool to have a bewinged-badge

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!!

Patience. The Overlord of the Lucid Tasks has been taking a little break. He'll be back in the saddle very soon now.

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...

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.
