Still, to reduce the psychic load on our more well known members I offer to pair up with someone less well known. If anyone's interested, I would describe myself as a tall, skinny, and physically active university/college student. You'll be able to pick me out as I'll be wearing sandals and moaning about the weather.
P.S. Last night I encountered & failed both tasks from last month, since the threads closed I posted my failures in my DJ here.
Yes, I did it!
Lucid dream /Tasks:
I have vague memories of sitting on a chair at a round table and staring at the ground. I remember things being somewhat fuzzy.
As I was looking, I suddenly realized that this was a dream. Everything still felt extremely fragile for a moment while I got myself fully immersed into the dream. And then, there I was.
I am unsure where this went from here. Several things happened in this dream, and I am trying to get them in the right order. I think at this time I stood up and looked around. I was in a big school auditorium. There was a small stage in the center of the room. It looked like a band was getting ready to come on and play. I could see other people (maybe 20) hanging out.
I suddenly remembered I had Tasks to do. I searched the crowd. There had to be a DV member in this crowd. I coldn't see anyone that I recognised.
I then saw some band members coming out. I thought, "This will be so easy. I'll make sure CoLd BlooDed is the guitarist." But then the guitarist came out, and it was a guy with blond curly hair.
I was beginning to feel frustrated that the DV members weren't appearing. This was supposed to be something I was good at.
The next thing I remember was being in the air spinning around. It came to me that this is the first time that I had ever spun in a dream. I was glad I was doing it, because hopefully it would help me to stay lucid even longer.
After spinning. I started flying across the room, back and forth. I then decided that I should try the Advanced Task of going through a portal. There were no mirrors in the room, but I did see a dark dark spot (about 3 feet diameter) on one of the walls. I decided to aim for that spot.
I sped up and went feet first into that spot. I was successful. It was a portal. All around me I could see more circles that I was going through. And the feeling was incredible.
I came out in another room. I had to do it again because it felt sooo good. So I started flying around the room and aimed for the dark spot that was on the wall in this room. The same thing happened. .....the continuing circles and that wonderful feeling.
I did this several times going from room to room just enjoying the experience, until I was back in the original auditorium. I looked at the walls. There were murals painted on the wall. Some were paintings from the Peter Pan movie. I could see one that showed Neverland.
I decided that I really wanted to go to Neverland. So I decided to make the painting of Neverland be my next portal. I flew again, feet first at the painting. I went through. There were no circles this time. I tried to make out Neverland. I wanted to be in the sky looking down at the island. I could see it. But the detail was so bad. It was like looking at a poorly done painting. I didn't have the feeling of actually being there.
I suddenly decided that I had done enough with portals and that I really needed to try the DV member part of the Task now.
So when I came out back in to the auditorium, it was now filled with people sitting at tables. I decided that i would make myself confident and assume that this was a DV reunion.
I sat down next to a lady at one of the tables. She looked like she was dressed up to be in a movie. She had blue make-up all over her face and had what looked like a bleached blond wig. She also had glasses and I believe she had a bright green shirt (or outfit) on. I didn't recognise who this was. But I realised that it could be any number of DV members under the costume.
So I sat next to her and asked, "Which DV member are you?"
She answered and said "Clairity."
I said "Hi Clairity, do you know what other DV members are here?"
She points to a table and says, "Well, that's Gomer, and that's Ivan."
I felt disappointed because those were not DV members that I knew.
Gomer then stands up and comes over to Clairity and for a moment I think he is about to flash her. But he doesn't get his pants down very far before he bursts out laughing like it's some inside joke.
Gomer then starts to take charge. He is holding a clip board and some raffle tickets. He then announces that everyone needs to get a raffle ticket if they haven't yet. They are only five dollars, but this is covering the cost of the reunion and everyone who has a ticket will be able to take home an audio recording of this event.
For a moment I feel a little insecure--I have no money with me. But then I realise again that this is just a dream.
And at that moment I woke up.
Edit:
I just checked. There are DV member named Gomer and Ivan...both are lurkers with no posts. Funny how I was able to pick actual names of Members. Although with a site this big, it's not that great of a coincidence.
Twoshadows, congratulations on completing BOTH tasks!
I had never really thought about portals but your description makes me want to really go through one now!! You had fantastic control to be able to go through them as many times as you did and not lose lucidity!
ROTFLMFA off!! Somehow I just KNEW it was going to be me.. I was almost scared to scroll down!!!Quote:

I think it was because you post a lot of this Task thread, and you've always commented on my completed Tasks. And it may have also been inspired by your conversation with Moonbeam on this thread. But whatever the reason, I still don't know what you look like...:D
I know..haha...Quote:

Don't you wonder where these things come from that show up in dreams...?:p
Thanks, Clairity, for commenting....and for being the only one to show up in my dream!
Well as flattering as your dream was.. I can honestly say I don't look anything like that! :pQuote:

Hey, I was there. I was disguised as Gomer. Sure, I was too shy to go through with said flashing but only because I knew you were watching me.Quote:

Last night I had a WILD and decided to do the advanced lucid task. Just like with all my WILD's I felt the SP and then got myself up and out of my dream bed. I went outside my room and in the living room there was already a portal there but before I could reach it, someone comes running out. It made a high pitched ding when the guy came fully through the portal. I believe it was myself because it looked alot like me. The dream started to go dark on me and I was losing the dream. I tryed to move towards the portal quickly before it would end but it felt like I was in quicksand and I lost the dream before I could get to it.
I then felt SP and knew I was still dreaming so once again I get up and out of my dream bed. The dream this time was much more clear and I had much better control. In my living room there is a door to the outside. I went to it, opened it up, and went outside. I created a portal by spining my finger in a circular motion and imagining it. A portal appears and it looks just like the one in the last dream. This time I studied the portal. It was not moving, like I thought it would be. It stood still. It reminded me of a huge mirror. The outside or frame of the portal was light neon blue. On the inside it was a deep glossy black. The night before I made a decision to go to my work so the dream wouldnt get too weird, seeings as how Ive never done anything with portals before. So I step through the portal and imagine my work place. Im instantly transported to my work place's parking lot. As soon as Im completly out of the portal it made the high pitched ding like before. I walk a couple of feet and the only thing I see in the parking lot is a red truck. I thought this is pretty boring, so I turn around to look at the portal. The portal is still there but behind it is a staired hallway. The hallway was about twice as big as the portal. It was a light maroonish purple. I could only see a few steps before it went into darkness. The dream, all of a sudden, went black and I lost the dream before I could do anything else.
I then felt SP again and just like before (sounding like a broken record lol) I get up and out of my dream bed. I go to the outside door, go outside and make another portal. Except this time Im of the mind set that Im not going to have any expectations of where the portal will take me. I thought if it got to scarry I would just wake myself up. When Im having this thought the portal goes from being upright to hanging over my head. In order to go inside it I had to jump. As I jumped it sort of sucked me in. It made the high pitched ding but I was in nothing but blackness. It felt like I was tumbling very very slowly backwards. It was really quite relaxing. After awhile an image started to appear and I was in a huge building the same color as the stair way from the last dream, a light maroonish purple. I saw people in the building but didnt see their faces or knew who they were. The entire time I was falling. I went from the very top of this building straight through to the floor. Like I said before it was quite relaxing and I was never scarred. As I went through the floor, I could tell that some of the people were looking at me, but like I said, I couldnt see faces. When I went through the floor I was back in darkness. I then finally woke up.
This whole portal thing is a pretty cool concept. Might even be easier than spinning a dream for some people because its like your going through a doorway. Just a thought. Have a good one everybody.
ArCane
ArCane, very cool dream! I love how you were able to bounce back from all those FAs/SPs as well. Very well done!
Ok.. I wanna "dinging" "overhead" portal dream too!! :morecrying:
.
Haha, that was awesome, Twoshadows.
I tried both tasks, and may have succeeded in the portals task, but it wasn't very vivid, I don't remember it very well, and I'm certain I didn't accomplish it like I wanted to, so I don't want the badge for it.
I became lucid while playing one of the old gameboy color Zelda games. When I dream that I'm playing video games, I usually can't see anything except the screen, or occasionally the system I'm playing it on, and the one time I was lucid while playing video games before when I tried to look away from the game, there was nothing there, and I woke up. So, I tried to complete the task in the game. Although I can't remember seeing it, I think some sort of portal formed, and my character walked through it. On the other side, everything was now no longer 2D, and all I remember of what was there was that there was a tree on top of a hill.
Some time later, I decided I was going to try to put down the video game system (my GP2X). First, I shifted my vision from the screen to the GP2X, then to my hands holding the system, then to the area around me. This almost woke me, but I successfully put down the GP2X.
I found myself in a building I've never been in before, which I remember nothing about except that it had several rooms connected by short hallways. I immediately walked up to a nearby wall, and tried the portals task again. I put my hand on the wall, and willed a portal like the one in the task badge to form there. No portal formed, and my dream started to fade, but a door under my hand that I hadn't seen before opened, my vision returned, and I walked through.
I noticed that the building was full of people and decided to try the basic task. I was going to ask people if they were a member of Dreamviews, and if they said yes, asking them their username. I also wanted to find someone unusual to ask, to make the task more interesting. However, everyone I saw looked fairly ordinary, and after briefly looking around the building, the dream ended.
rrrgh!!!:mad:
i got both of the june ones, but couldnt get to a computer in time!!
ahh well, guess ill just have to try with these *sigh*
Sorry for the inactivity. Computer broke weeks ago. In the meantime I've had a few lucid dreams. I wasn't able to summon a person but I was able to summon a portal. I went to my yard and went up to the screen door. I looked behind me and expected to see a blue spinning vortex that would take me to another place. Sure enough there it was. It was totally realistic. I opened the door and this blueish gray flashing tunnel like thing was there I walked through it but nothing happened.
So I tried entering it in different ways. All that happened was the world around me turned blue and weird. A DC asked me if I was ok, and said don't you know this is a dream?! At some point I lost lucidity and started driving poorly in a bowling ally.
Anyway, I purposely summoned some one but, got the wrong some one. That "substitute summonee" ended up being a DV member, none other than Burns. Whether or not it counts really doesn't even matter to me. I just figured I'd share my adventure, as unadventurous as it may be.
This is an excerpt from my DJ entry:
The Stairway to Burns (Dream #2: 7/3/07 - 7/4/07)
I find myself traversing up a series of flights of concrete stairs in some kind of apartment building. I realise immediately that I am dreaming and quickly think "Dream Girl!" (DG)
In an effort to be more casual about putting together the pieces for my task, I notice flowers growing in the landings I pass. These are just random flowers of various types and colors but they have an attractive sparkle about them. (I think this came from the blue sparkles - that show "stealth areas" - in Sly 2: Band of Thieves, which I am currently playing on PS2) Yellow sparkles glow and twinkle around them, drawing my eye, and I begin to pick them for DG. After all, I'm heading up to her apartment.
As I climb higher and higher, the flowers lose some of their vibrancy but remain mostly intact. There are green, yellow, and red flowers but they all look more like daisies than anything else.
The stairs lead, not to a floor of apartments but, to a single door. This is where DG lives. I enter and see DG sitting at her computer. There are crates lining three walls and acting as shelves. They are smaller than standard milk crates, more like those they sell in dollar stores for storage. The place is cluttered and a guy is in the room as well.
As I approach DG, I see that she is on Dreamviews. She turns around and I realize that it is not her after all. She has black, fairly straight hair but her face is different. It's more rounded and she seems shorter than in real life. Hey, the cheeks look like Burns'. "Are you Burns?", I ask. "Yes", she replies. She looks nothing like Burns in real life, except for the cheeks.
I get excited, thinking that I may have completed a DV lucid task for a change (within the correct month, that is). I notice the bundle of flowers has vanished from my hand and realize that the man standing there must be her husband. He doesn't seem to mind that I came "to see Burns". She stands up and we follow her husband into the hallway.
"Burns" and I are now in a different home. A girl is there and - as we walk into the living room - I whisper in her ear to go bring me the roses from "the other room". She gives me knowing smile and nods yes. I figure if DG can't have to rose this time, then I'll present it to "Burns". [I feel bad now for even considering giving that rose to any one but DG].
While I wait, a black dog is here and I play with it. It's very friendly as I pet it all over.
Here comes the girl whom I'd sent for the roses but she returns with something else. (I can't remember what now, hmmm. I'll have to think about it for awhile.) "No, I said the roses, not *?*?."
...
EDIT: Well, I just looked at Burns' picture again and, I guess it did look a lot like her, only with black hair, not as thin and with a more rounded face.
Cool, GH!
You talked to Burns in your LD--that should totally count.
Hey--I got (the lesser known) Gomer and Ivan--and that counted. :D
(Of course, and Clairity, too)
But anyway...good job!
Of course maybe you were there in a blond wig....:pQuote:
Hey, I was there. I was disguised as Gomer. Sure, I was too shy to go through with said flashing but only because I knew you were watching me.
Thanks, i_speel_good....:)Quote:
Haha, that was awesome, Twoshadows.
I have every intention to do this one again and see who else shows up.
Rainman, congratulations on completing the portal dream! (You drove poorly in a bowling alley? :D)
Oneironaught, Burns might not have been your DG.. but like you said.. you completed a lucid task of the month! Congratulations to you too!
.
Woot! Yeah, check Burns off the list. Good job!!
