Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of July 2007

I finally completed a Lucid Task!
(Sorry for the long-ish post, but the original was even longer.)

If you want to skip to the exact part where I complete the task, read the orange part.

I am flying over mountains covered with snow and evergreen trees. There is even a small ski hill with a lodge. The sun is shining very brightly, and shines off the snow so that it reflects beautifully. As soon as I begin to fly very high, I realize that I am dreaming. I feel like shouting "I am Dreaming!" to the whole world, but in my past dreams that has attracted unwanted attention from DC's, so I stay quiet.

Right away, I remember the lucid task and my goal to go skydiving. Though I don't want to end my flight, I know that I need to get this done.

Then things start to go wrong. Nothing really goes as planned after this point, though I DO manage to complete the task. I am now finding quite difficult to control things. (Which is not usually a problem for me, but it has been coming up more and more.)

I guess I am so excited, I don't think of the original details I had gone over in my head so often. I just summon up a portal and there it appears in the sky, directly in front of me. It is like a black hole in the sky, but it has a reddish-orange outline and it's square. Not to mention that it is tiny. I am disappointed with the portal, but I figure, since it IS a portal I may as well use it. I fly towards in but as I get close, I veer off to my right and cannot steer myself back.

I think to myself "Oh well, no big deal. I'll just make a new one." so I conjure up another portal in the middle of the sky. This one is also a black square with a reddish-orange rim, but this one is slightly larger. It looks really strange against the blue sky. I try to fly into it, but yet again I cannot fly to my left. It's like being pushing up against an invisible wall. I miss that portal too.

I decide to try one more time. This time I go lower to the ground. I am right above the ski hill. There is a small group of people in winter dress standing on the slope. I place yet another portal in front of them. This one is a black, upright oval with a reddish-orange outline of energy and gold designs.

I fly very low to the ground and very fast. About 12 feet away I know that it is going to work, and I speed through the opening.

Once I am through, I know that I am no longer flying, but standing. I am in a dark tunnel-like place. I realize that for some reason I have not passed through the portal, but I am stuck IN it! Here and there I can see flowing yellow patterns and lights ahead of me and around me. I see a faint light in the distance and a dark, hazy picture begins to appear in front of me. I walk to the end of the tunnel and step into the picture.

I step out into a kind of floating crystal pod. Everything is tinged purple. It's like being inside a crystal and finding that it's hollow. I see a dark, menacing city beyond the walls of my craft. It's mostly sky scrapers and floating cars. There is also some kind of travel tube. There is no sun. Only a faint unnatural light coming from behind large gray clouds. There are also various bits of old and unused equipment on the floor of my crystal cage.

I am definately NOT in an airplane. I try to imagine myself in an airplane, ready to go skydiving. I can sort of see an overlayed image of what I want over my dream, but I'm finding it very difficult to picture what I want.

Unfortunately I don't remember anything after that, so I guess the dream ended. So I did manage to finish the task, but I sadly did not manage to go skydiving, much to my disappointment. but I guess there is always next time.
