WOW.

You should get some sort of special badge for most tasks attempted and most tasks completed in a single lucid dream!

I still want to try the fire one too.

Congratulations!

I knew it! I knew there was something strange going on your secret is out in the open now :p

Soooooooo close

Ok so I am staying in this hotel at the moment as away with work. And I knew I was going to LD before I went to be as have not had one since I got back from holiday a couple of weeks ago, and had loads on holiday, so knew coming away hear would mean I would be LDing in no time.

The Dream:
So I was lying on my bed, the TV was on, right next to my bed (but in this room it isn't, its on my desk) and I felt really sleepy, so I thought I know I will have an LD, and right away, I was lucid, i touched my laptop keys, which was on my bed to confirm I was. So I got up, but it was really dark, so I thought I wonder which DV member is in my bathroom, I thought this would be the easiest way to meet them. So as I walked, it got darker and darker, and my ways to increase vividness is to ask a DC but there were none about, but i remember my last LD a DC told me to spin anti clockwise only because clockwise (which is the way I had been doing it) didn't work. So I span, and I got really dizzy, I couldnt walk straight, so I thought I cant be dreaming if I got dizzy! I thought about leaving the room to find the DVDC but thought well if this is not a dream I am going to look pretty stupid walking out in my boxershorts :p

So I tried to look out the window and couldnt see anyone, it was getting really dark by now, so thought I must be awake then, I will just go back to bed and try get lucid again, then went to bed thinking I must post on DV to tell them about me sleep walking thinking I was lucid and spinning in my hotel room.

So in bed I thought I will just have another dream and become lucid, this is when I had an FA, and was awake on my bed (FA) thinking damn! My mind tricked me, I was lucid after all. Meh, I will try again tomorrow must get up for work, and my alarm went off (in the dream) so i snoozed it.

Next thing I know my actual alarm goes off and I wake to realise the whole thing was just a dream FA loop and felt gutted that I could have maybe met a DVDC if I had just performed a simple RC.

Anyway my mini dry spell looks to me over, although I am worried about going home now, incase this puts a mental block on my LDs for good

Ah well, off to meeting now, here is hoping for better results tonight

FINALLY

took forever to get lucid last night...and I was lucid for a really long time...but i'll cut to the portal. I'm standing outside, and I start saying to myself "Behind me theres going to be a portal". In my head i start invisioning it. Right in front of my face it starts appearing. At first I looked like that old windows screensaver if you had nothing but blue lines wobbiling around. Then it became some black hole looking thing. I dove into it head first, and when I got to the other side, it felt all wierd and tingly going through it...kinda like when I phase through walls, except all over for a while. I get to the other side, and I look down, and I see that my feet are sticking out of the hole, and my top half is sticking out. I finally get out, and it's like being in a mirror maze or something. theres Like two of me in there...but they're wearing different clothes. So, I decided to go back in and I think it totatly changed the dream sceen.

I've got a plan. Make a portal that leads to a real-life version of this thread.

Adam, that made me laugh. I can picture you spinning around your hotel room in real life.

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.

Me too cuz cuz cuz.. it's the first time I've done this and I'm exciteeeeeed! :p

Sorry about the delay in the badges. I've been busy with lots of other stuff lately. If there is still anyone in this thread that has not gotten their badge yet, please PM me.

I did it!!! I became lucid and asked a DC where I could find Oneironaught, and he pointed to the nearby highway reststop, and said "Mr. O will be with you shortly." So I waited next to a vending machine (which had no place to remove the candy and had a bunch of odd colours on it). So I decided to expect him to be behind a door, and sure enough, Oneironaught appeared and he was a green storm trooper from starwars! Idunno why that is.

I hope you like starwars, Oneironaught haha. Man now that I look back, it woulda been really badass if I would have created a portal and went through it to some strange land, create another portal and have a DV member pop out of it. Oh well. Yeah so now whenever I see Oneironaught I just think of storm troopers...it's kind of strange.

Hahahaha! Very nice. The DC actually said "O"? I shall call him Mr. O from now on.

Cool, I've starred in yet another DV member's dream. I'm not particularly a Star Wars fan. I was back when the first three came out. I loved it then but have pretty much lost track of the series after that.

That being said, I don't care if I appear as a monkey or a throw pillow. I'm just honored I could be there to help you with the lucid task.

Congratulations.

Mr. O has spoken.

I've done the basic one... sort of.

The dream began in some sort of alien factory where I was part of a group of soldiers sent to clear the place out of all life (strangely not what made me lucid). While I was there I bumped into Burns in a wedding dress looking confused (apart from that she looked like normal Burns). I couldn't bring myself to kill another human. Then suddenly I was in my home wearing a suit. Apparently I was marrying her (absolutely no idea where that came from O_o). It was there I became lucid, but didn't really have enough consciousness to change where the dream was going, I just knew it was a dream. From there I panicled about how to get out of it without disappointing the dream character while I got ready for he ceremony. NeAvO was there too with several others (all of whom were from DV, I just con't quite remember who) as I got ready. NeAvO was sort of the father of the bride. Middle-aged with brown hair standing on end.

That's pretty much all I remember. I hate dreams where you're only slightly lucid.

Yay I finally did a task again! (Congrats to you too, Alex!) Actually I may have done both tasks; I need to see if "Noon" and "Agammemnon" are actually DV members. (Seeker, do you remember anyone with those names? Noon claimed that they were some of oldest members here.) Here it is--it started as a WILD with lots of HI and aural hallucinations, skipping to the relevant part.

--I was floating in a void. I wondered if I could visualize a portal, and one appeared in the distance. It looked just like the little one on the badge, except it was red. I projected myself towards it, but when I got to it, it was still little so I couldn't go thru it, and it flew right by. I tried again, and this time the portal looked like a sparkly red energy field. I was able to go thru it, and I felt electric shocks as I did. I came out in the sky of an alien world, over a roiling sea. It was night, and the water was a silver with chunks of ice floating in it. I flew down, preparing for the shock as I hit the cold liquid, but as I landed it was like being on a water-bed; nice and warm and I just rocked on the surface. I headed towards the shore, propelling myself on top of the waves, and climbed out onto the land. I walked into a neighborhood; it was still dark but it was a nomal appearing town. I thought maybe I could find a DV member. I called out as many names as I could think of, but no response. I tried to go up to the door of a couple houses, but each time I got near enough to the house, where I thought the door would be was on the other side, or I couldn't find the path up to the house, or something got in my way. I saw a lit-up gas station acrosss the street, and I headed over there. I was aware of a man crossing the street too. I got tunnel vision, so that all I could see was the gas station, but then that closed off too. I reached out for the man and was able to grab his arm. I said, "Will you help me? I can't see a thing!" I felt for his shoulder, and it was way up high like he was really tall. He didn't object, so I asked him "Are you a DV member?" He said that he was, and his name was Noon. I asked him who else was here. He said, "Agamemnon" (sp?). Then he said, "We are some the oldest members of DV." I told him that I never heard of him. Then he said, "We weren't expecting you." I didn't care, I was happy.

P.S. I looked up "Noon"; he is a lurker with one post! No "Agammemnon" tho.

Yay! I did both lucid tasks last night in one dream!

I saw a mirror in in the corner of a lecture hall so I went to it and jumped through it. I didn't transport anywhere, but the room changed slightly and my vision went haywire for a little while. The contrast was all messed up and after that I started to see in black and white. I know that I had gone in the mirror and not through it because it was no longer there.

After that I asked the people in the lecture hall if any of them were DV members. A young girl with curly dark hair stood up and said her name was Astro, that's when I lost lucidity.

The rest of the dream is in my dream journal.

Wow, there were alot of lucid DV members this morning!

First let me congratulate Psyis, Rainman, Alex D, Moonbeam and Ninja9578!! :bravo:

I am also happy to report that after a 5 week dry spell.. I too had a lucid dream and completed the basic task!

Below are the mundane details for those who care to read them (to skip to the lucid part read only the wording in blue):

I went to bed at 11:00 pm, woke up at 3:00 am and moved to my living couch. I sat and watched a DVD for about 30 minutes, then lay down, put my earplugs in and my sleep mask on.

I asked for protection and did some affirmations, etc. to keep my mind occupied while waiting for my body to fall asleep.

After I lay there for what seemed like forever, I FINALLY see swirls behind my closed eyelids.. like the blackness folding into itself and I feel faint vibrations (more like "flutters"). I think to myself.. ok.. here we go.. remain calm.. steady breaths.. and.. IT STOPS!

Ok.. regroup.. don't let it phase you.. you can start again.. good.. here comes the swirls again.. vibrations even fainter.. and.. CRAP!!

By the third time, this happens, I'm REALLY wondering if I'm wasting my time. I lay there about 10 more minutes and decide to switch position and possibly call it a morning. I move my body around to a more comfortable position and BOO-YAH! I'm LUCID.. no fanfare.. no transition.. just am!!

I find myself outside and remember the tasks. I figure I should try to complete the basic task first (I mean how would it look to suggest the idea for the basic task and then not do it)?!

I was in a neighborhood but it was dark and there were no people around. I yelled into the silence, "Are there any Dream View members out there?"

A voice answers me from the distance with one word, "here".

I decide to fly towards the voice. I begin to run and then leap into the dark sky. I begin to fly and yell once more, "Are there any Dream View members out there?" and the voice once again replies, "here".

It becomes almost a game of "Marco Polo" with me asking and him replying until I locate him.

I finally land in front of him. He is White, averate height, slender with short sandy blond hair. I ask him if he is a Dream Views member and he says, "I'm Travis".

Sadly I don't recall what happened to Travis or what was said after that. It's as though my mind decided, ok you completed the task.. time for you to lose your lucidity and I went into a very long very vivid non-lucid dream.

I looked up "Travis" on the member listing and there is "Travis E" with 135 posts (last active on 5/2/07) and a "Travis Henrichs" with 0 posts (last active on 5/21/07).

Oh well.. onto PORTALS!
.

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.

LOL, all these unknown DV members! I don't guess we really succeeded in the spirit of the task, but oh well! It's funny how you read a dream to see if you're going to be the lucky DV member. How could you dream about Travis instead of one of us.

Congrats on breaking your dryspell!

Congrats to every one. Lots of people are having lucids this week! I've had two myself.

No but you're not too far off. There's an Armageddon2020 and an Armageddon_Heaven .

So, I went to bed last night and had a lucid dream. In it, I "woke up" in my bed. I then noticed that I was wearing my clothes and took a piece of paper out of my pocket. (I keep a piece of paper in my pocket with the number sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 written on it [the first 8 Fibonacci numbers]) I read it twice, and it had a different number sequence on it both times. From this I realized I was dreaming, and I became fully lucid. I then walked downstairs and had myself enter a hovercraft type vehicle in a garage. I then drove hovered to the ballpark. I then decided that there would be two teams playing cricket on the field instead of baseball. I then ordered a frank, and when I looked at the vendor, it was SpiritoftheWolf!!! He then said, "Hey DrEaMeR, enjoy your FRANKFURTER!!!" and he started laughing. I found this perplexing. It seemed like a random thing to say. Well, anyway, Spirit looked like someone in his early twenties. He had a buzz cut, and a goatee. At this point I was getting tired of him, so I left the ball park. When I was in the parking lot, I asked myself, "why am I hovering around when I can open a portal like the assignment asks for?" So, I pictured a portal, and nothing happened... Then I decided that I would go back into my hovercraft. I drove to a secret military base in the Nevada desert. I slid through a hole in the barbed wire fence and climbed the building. Then, I climbed down a vent into the building. I found myself in a room with a portal device. I thought of where I wanted to go, and jumped into the portal. When I was in the portal, light bent all around me and I suddenly flew into the Kremlin, my desired destination. I decided I wanted to fire the Czar cannon. I aimed the cannon and fired it off into the distance. Then, I walked to Red Square and saw Lenin's body. As I was admiring it, KGB officers entered the square and started chasing me. It occurred to me that the KGB didn't exist anymore, but, nonetheless, they were in hot pursuit. So, I tried to fly away like Neo does in the matrix, or like Superman. This didn't work. I then tried to sprout wings, again, no success. At this point, the KGB officers were getting too close for comfort, and I suddenly woke up! This was real progress in my lucid dreaming, and I hope that I can eventually fly in my dreams. That would be pretty sweet.
