Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of July 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: Summon/find a DV member. Report back what they looked like. Sketches or pictures are welcome!!!

Here is some pretty cool software to help draw your DV member: http://flashface.ctapt.de/


Advanced Task: Summon a portal and go through it.

Got the first task done since I knew what it was ahead of time ^_^.

I found Aquanina she was wearing tan Khacki capri's that had strings hanging down from both legs so you could tighten the bottom. And she was wearing a white tanktop that had tan flowers imprinted on it. She also said "Yes I am Aquanina, but I am far younger and cuter you would have more fun with me."

Now I just need to get that portal one done ^_^

Haha! After half a year (almost) of absentiesim, I return!

this should be fun ...

Ooh! Good tasks! I'd actually been planning to do something with wormholes or portals for awhile, so I think I'll try that one.

OK, I hope do better this month.

Hey Keeper, welcome back. You'll sad to know that Neruo has recently left us; maybe not forever but for a while he said. Or maybe that's why you came back just now...

... I swear, I had nothing to do with that ... much

I fell so happy

... oh, not about Neruo ... srsly.

... moving on ... so ... portals, huh?

NICE! I was trying of making a portal anyway. I have to practice summoning things and people etc. before this works though. I've only managed to make a dog and myself disappear.

Ooh by the way. Does a door count? Like, if I was to summon a door that normally wouldnt be somewhere, like in the middle of a street or something, and I walked through onto the moon, technically that would define it as being a portal, right?

lol wow adam. lol now u guys have to make me choose whos my favorite friend here on DV. thats pretty hard but i will do it! ive never really had any chance to summon cuz i usually forget waht i want to do and i have to think about what to do in my dream all over again which is usually go along with whatever my DG makes me. this will be a challenge

Erm, where is my badge? I've been waiting for it for a while.

Could you summon yourself? :p

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!!
.

i tried the portal thing, but nothing showed up... when I woke up i realized that i had forgotten how to summon things during a dream. Better luck next time...

Extracted from my dream journal:

I was in bed, and somehow I knew I was dreaming. I remembered the basic lucid task for some reason. I have no idea what anybody here looks like, so it would be interesting. I walked down these stairs which were all misted up, calling for tekkendreams, who was the only member I could remember. At the bottom of the stairs, several people went past, and I found tekkendreams. He was wearing blue, and had this thcik but patchy black beard and black hair. He also had white dragon horns. I'm no good at describing faces however. I told him he was dreaming, and then the dream collapsed.

Congratulations lseadragon.. well done!
.

Not sure if this counts as summoning.


I was in my dream when everything went dark, my dream eyes opened and i was in a jeep it was dark out and the ground was all muddy, we were all wearing helmets, and i realized there was someone staring at me screaming at me to get lucid, so i became lucid and i asked who he was and he said Gothlark, then i said something about stabilizing the dream before i woke up, it all lasted around 10-20 seconds. the dream gothlark had brown shaggy hair hanging out from the helmet, and white skin, but not too pale. and looked about 18. (btw this is when we were experimenting with dream sharing earyler this week)

I stop doing the lucid task because they were ethier too easy or just stupid. But I think I might give the portal one a go it sounds really cool. Maybe I could use that to learn how to have a shared dream, astral project, travel back in time in my dream. The possiblities are endless, so I'll give it a go.

Why don't you PM Seeker and suggest something that's worthy of you.

i found brandonheat (seen a lot of that guys posts) and he had a short haircut, and it was kind of curly/black hair. had kind of a pissed/confused look on his face and he was sarcastic. shirt said something like "im a rock now"

Aw, CB didn't get his reward yet, and his dream was so cool! :p Seeker said to pm him if he's missed ya.

Its a little late but I did my first lucid task! I summoned a vortex and ended up in an X-rated Dick Tracy movie! Heres and excerpt from my dream journal. I had been lucid for quite a while and I found this little girl after I went to Saturn and back. I then convince her that she is dreaming and we fly together.

I take on a father persona with her now and together we float up to a tree in my yard. I ask her where she wants to go. She is not sure. I look up and see a beautiful purple nebula. I say "Lets go to the star cluster nebula." She says ok. Then points to a swirl of clouds and lightning. I remember the lucid task for vortex. I tell her it is a vortex and I make it shape into a funnel. The funnel comes down but I cant fly to it. Then I tell the girl what the TV said. Suddenly we are right there. I can see the funnel from the clouds. The funnel is more like a gold colored cloth with a metal coil in side. I grab it and I put my head in. It is small and I have to wiggle around. Finally it sucks me up. I feel like I did went into orbit. I struggle to keep my eyes open. Then I feel like I am through. All I can see is a bright white light.

I close my eyes and open them. I am now in bed with a woman. The girl has become a virtual fly on the wall and is unimportant. I am in a Dick Tracy type of setting. The woman looks kind of like Betty Boop. She is wearing Dick Tracy boxers and a yellow shirt that shows her belly. She has a nice body. I hear a man say "you can keep the boxers". I look and see Warren Beatty walk away. I look at the woman and she now looks just like Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Me: Oh I get it. I went through a vortex.
Maggie: What?
Me: I'm still dreaming.
Maggie: Mmm, who isn't?

I grab her to me, make her boxers disappear and I start to have sex with her. I regain some self control at that point and pause. There was little sensation and I immediately wake up.

I did it! I completed the Advanced Lucid Task (with the portal.) It was towards the end of a lenghty lucid dream (you can read the rest in my DJ, if you really want to):

I decided to make a portal out of the mirror, so I picked up this kid and let him put a drop of water on it. (Not sure why.) I tried to get the kid to go through, but his head would just bang against the glass. So I flew through it, and suddenly I was through the mirror and in outer space! Unfortunately the dream ended.

I re-did the DV Member task, since I wanted to meet somebody in particular. The entire journal entry can be found in my DJ.

23 Bright Braid Street

"I am dreaming!" I told myself. I looked in my hands and saw my car keys. I held them both hands, and jingled them up and down. This worked really well as an anchor to the dream, much like hand-rubbing. They also looked really interesting... sort of a swirl of shiny metal as they moved around.

I had been joking with Twoshadows for awhile about going on a dream date at a malt shop, so I really wanted to conjure her up. I started calling out for her, but then I remembered someone here had recently suggested going to a house and ringing the bell to find someone.

I found a quaint little blue house with a little porch. On the house was a little wooden sign with the number "23" and a word on it. I'm not 100% sure I remember this correctly, but I think the word was "Being." I knocked twice on the door, and rang the doorbell, which was on the wrong side of the door. Someone opened the door, and I asked if Twoshadows were there. I could hear someone talking from another level down, and I knew it was her. She came walking up the stairs, putting on a denim jacket. I thought I'd have to explain who I was, but she already knew. She looked pretty much like her avatar picture, except she was wearing glasses.

I wanted to hug her, imagining that we were old friends finally reunited. The hug was a bit awkward though, and I suddenly remembered that we had never met before. I remember actually saying that it sucked I'd have to write in my journal tomorrow that it was awkward! (and here it is! )

We went outside together, and started walking up the street. Leaves were blowing around. I said "Did you know you live at number 23?" To which she replied "Cool!" Then we decided to look for a street sign to see what street she lived on. And there it was... the street she lived on: "Bright Braid St."

I asked if she brought her camera, and she showed it to me. I said "You HAVE to take some pictures! We have to see what happens!" We both thought the concept of taking dream pictures was very cool, and joked that we'd have to find a shop in the dream to develop them.

Twoshadows wanted to sit down, so we sat on the bumper of an old car. "This is a little chilly," she said to me. I could tell that she was hinting that since I was in control, I should do something about it. I closed my eyes, snapped my fingers, and we appeared on a warm beach, lying on the sand. This scene was not nearly as clear, and I guess the shock of the change, or my having closed my eyes was enough to jolt me out of the whole thing.

I woke up. Unfortunately, we never made it to the malt shop, but it was fun to finally dream about a specific DV member.
