Wow.. so much to comment on!!

"Mmm, who isn't?" I Love that line!

This made perfect sense to me when I read it. Almost as if putting a drop of water on the mirror would make the mirror liquid somehow (for some reason I got the image of a pebble being thrown into a pond and the resulting ripples).

LOL!! Child abuse!! Now that's a visual!! :p

I need to remember this method of finding someone.. I keep walking around searching aimlessly until I forget who I was trying to find.

Wow.. a bit of reality seeping into your lucid dream!

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.

Change of venue by simply snapping your fingers.. you'd make one hell of an impression on a first date!!

The more times you went through it, the more compact the clay became and the more likely you were to lose a limb going through it
It was very cool, can't wait to try to summon this same portal in a lucid.

Mes Tarrant, let's hope you make it through this blue clay portal with all your lucid limbs attached!

Great job everyone!

Uhm.. true.. nevermind.
.

haha thanks for the vote of confidence guys!

This sucks though, I used to LD all the time, and now its getting worse and worse

Thanks for the comments. DCs say some funny things sometimes. The little girl in I met before that asked me if I was a ghost because I was flying around in front of her. Cracked me up later.

Urm... I think it may have worked......

I think I did my first WILD.... http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...035#post476035

Think I finally got both of them done this time!

I was staying in some type of dorm place with a ton of people from school, and a couple of Harry Potter characters. After spending 10 minutes shooing Harry, some friends, and even a teacher from a bathroom, I was finally able to take a shower. As I started I did a RC and realized I was dreaming.

I remembered the simple task, and deciding there would be a lot of people downstairs, I dashed down there. I found a whole mob of people standing around a pool table. I shouted out to the croud "Are any of you guys DV members?" Nearly everyone raised their hands. I asked them what their screennames were, and most people gave me answers in Japanese. One person did tell me their name was Georgeory. I finally decided to just shout out screennames I knew, and got through a whole list before someone answered to Amethyst Star. He was a handsome Peurtorican man my age, who's real name was Peter.

I decided I had taken this task far enough when I remembered the portal one. I turned around to find a fuzzy purple spot on the wall, a portal. I could feel my dream ending so I knew I had to go through straight away. I jumped in and found myself right at the start of my dream, the bathroom. Everything faded and I woke up.

Sure, but following it up by fading out of existence and leaving your date alone on the beach would sort of ruin the moment.

Let you? I insisted! Somebody has to get some shots of my crazy landscapes! Unfortunately, I don't remember you actually taking any pictures

I do realize that this is a little late in coming, seein as I only have six days left, but I figured I'd post it anyways.


So this started off as a semi normal dream. I was lost in the town square by where I live, and I recognized it at once. I had either lost my car, or someone had stolen it. (Why anyone would want that peice of shit I'll never know) So I was there and I saw my mom's friend Sandy, who is like, 54 years old. And in my dream she looked 30 something and instead of blond hair it was black. So, knowing this, I did a RC. Realizing fully it WAS a dream, I gave up on the quest to find out what happened to my car and went into a back alley. I went inside a market place to buy food, when I realized that my grandparents and my cousin where there, listening to this band that was playing in the back. There was a monkey, and it was riding around on my shoulders while I was deciding if I wanted M&Ms or not. (Haha) Not too interesting, untill I remembered I could pull people into my dreams. So I ran to the back where the band/group was playing, and made Misuer Slothy the lead singer. He had short brown spikey hair, and looked almost like the guy from Rascal Flatts. http://i.realone.com/assets/rn/img/2...835-slarge.jpg (The dude on the far left, IDK why, b/c i really hate that band ). During intermission, I ran up to him and hugged him, and.. well I'll spare you the wonderful details, , but it was awesome. He had to go back to his band/group, and I woke up due to my phone going off.

I did it! I summoned a portal and walked through it. I was at my friends house talking about lucid dreaming and he asked me what the task of the month was! lol! I then became lucid and summoned a portal and brought him in with me. We ended up at an arcade place with games and such. It was pretty cool. It ended shortly after that though.

FINALLY.

I completed a lucid task.
I did the portal task. I visualized a portal, the run of the mill kind seen in cartoons. But instead of that my wall simply blurred and became insubstantial. I ran into it and was teleported to my front lawn. Not the most exciting destination ever but still a task completed. Ends my half year or so dry spell.

DDK, if there was only one day left.. post your dream and get credit.. better late than never!

Uhm-kay, piece of shit car stolen, 54 year old woman looking 30 and monkey on your shoulder.. I'm with ya.

Saw Sloth, ran to Sloth, hugged Sloth, "censored".. got it!

Ok, I really think your dream character should get half your wings for asking you about the task of the month.. I mean it's only fair!

YAY VEXIE!! I'm so glad the drought is over! In fact, I think you should get a second set of wings! I mean you didn't just summon a stinkin' little portal.. you made an entire WALL your portal.. (so you ended up on your front yard).. you did it!!

Congratulations to everyone of you.. well done!

.

Tried it and failed, heres the excerpt anyways!

I'm in some sort of weird garden, near a house. Everything is really green and the house seems to be isolated from the outside. Anyways, I think some stuff happened before, but the first thing I remember is someone with a rifle being there, and starting to shoot at me. I sprint away, trying to be unpredictable in my movements so I don't get killed. However, as I'm running, I slowly realize that this is all too absurd to be real, and become lucid. I turn around, and walk up to the guy, while he still shoots at me, telling him he can't do anything to me. He keeps firing, and I'm not sure if I get hit or not, but I don't feel anything. I'm not sure what happens to the guy, but he's soon gone. I try to focus for a few moments, and then decide to try to the advanced lucid task. I go to a stone wall, and with some chalk try to draw an oval shape, like a portal. I remember having trouble concentrating, and the ovals I draw being too small or crooked. I re-try several times, sometimes using a green marker. My basic plan was, once the oval was drawn, to turn around and imagine the portal being there, then turn back around and go into it, but I wasn't really satisfied with the drawings. After a while though, I see these sort of semi-transparent, light blue runes appearing inside of one of the ovals, and the wall inside turning a sparkling transparent purplish. However, before I could do much, I woke up.

Hope I have enough time to actually do it!

LOL!! Child abuse!! Now that's a visual!!

Hehe, Well, he wanted to go through, too!

Well, I remembered to do the portal thing at the end of my LD and failed again,

Journal excerpt:

I start out at this sort of circular patch of land in the middle of a large lake. I'm basically instantly lucid, though I think this isn't the beginning of the dream. I try to gather my thoughts, still sort of blurry, and meanwhile there's this weird looking ship that passes by. The mast is so big that it's hanging over land, and it hits me as the ship passes. Annoyed, I think I make the ship disappear. There's a LONG (several miles), narrow line of land that stretches across the lake to get back to land. I think there's a mountain close to where it ends.

I decide to run the distance at supersonic speeds, and start my sprint. For a while, I'm running at a standard speed, then focus and soon enough I'm running extremely fast, and get to where I want. I decide to start flying, and go over a forest to my left. I realize that the dream is fading out, and quickly land. I take the advice of some post I read, and try to feel the ground and a nearby item, a tree it so happens. I even try to lick the dirt (hehe), and it doesnt taste like much but it has that dirt-ish texture. I fly again, and land at a sort of stone cottage. I think about trying to summon someone, and remember the basic and advanced lucid tasks. I think about doing the portal one again, and see a large, dumb looking guy nearby staring off into nothing. I ask him for some chalk, and he gives me some, but I think I kinda laugh at him or something and he smacks his arm in my face and knocks me down. After that, I think the dream mostly faded away.

Maybe next time if I have one in the next 4 days

I got fae_shadow.
She had brown-ish hair that has blonde highlights..went to the middle of her back. She had a light pink jacket over a grey shirt, and dark blue jeans (which were really cool) and she was bare foot. She said she never wore shoes =\
Awkward.

I'll have to check out the portal thing...Sounds cool.

Yay, I just barely squeezed this one in. I completed the advanced task last night, after two long non-lucid weeks.

Excerpt from DJ:

It is now daylight: bright and clear. I notice more airships coming into view in the sky. I suddenly realise that I'm nearly surrounded by the wild animals again. The dog-like ones are closing in around me and I begin to get nervous, forgetting my intended tasks. I only remember to get through that portal.

I run over to the new portal and think to myself that "since this is a dream, my friend should be able to fend for himself." I reach the shack and reach out to the portal. This one is about 1 1/2 feet across and shows signs of movement and life. I put my hand on it and - without effort - am able to pass right through. By the time I get up to my elbows in the portal, I'm being pulled into it.

I completely enter the portal and end up appearing about right where I was before I entered it. My friend is standing next to me and I help him get into the portal. After he's safely inside, I enter again.

So are you actually saying you can contact people in their dreams through lucidity! PLZ ANSWER MUST KN
O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no idea who you are asking but, most people here disagree that it is possible (myself included). However, some do believe it's a possibility, even though there's never been any credible evidence (outside of pure anecdotal). Search around this forum and you'll find threads where people are discussing dream sharing and similar "phenomena".

Thanks Clairity.
I should get two badges, especially since someone hasn't gotten around to giving me one yet. :p

Turning up on my front lawn wasn't so bad I guess, at least I didn't end up back where I started like gh. Nice job Oneironaught. So nice of you to save your friend.

I deserve 2 badges too!!!!!1

Here goes my advanced task dream:

Bad recall. Actually I can remember every detail, but dunno in which order things happened. I'm gonna be short to the part when I get lucid and do the task.

I had superpowers (watching too much TV) and was walking/flying at the local club. I find my dad and my sister are stuck in a building, traped by Mr. Random Evil Guy (he likes to visit my dream you know). I fly from the outside to a window where I can see them. I phase through (walk through) the glass to save them. I try to teach them how to phase, by telling them that their real bodies shouldn't be the ones to move, but their dream bodies. This gets me lucid instantly. Since they couldn't learn phasing to get out of the building, I gave up teaching those severed sillies (oh how I love them xD) and find them an elevator. Unluckily, the elevator could only hold two. No problem then, I sent them and told myself I needed a portal to get down.

I did the easiest thing I could do, and it was way easier than I thought. (Actually I'm thinking of creating a technique involving this method.) I created a whirlwind and went into it (it was on the ground). I felt surrounded by grey waves and it felt great. I could feel my body displacing through the dimensional gate I created, pretty much like in some action movie. Finally I went through the other end of the portal and found my family outside the building.
The dream changed scenario and I lost lucidity soon after.

I demand two badges, Seeker xD (not that they'll stay long today is 30th hehe)

Not to rush you or anything... but I still haven't gotten my badge yet...

Excerpt: The Tiny Stargate, July 30th, 2007 (first person) (Too bad most of my dream is the lucid task of the month. Sorry about the length.)

WILD attempt, successful.

I remember the task for july is to go through a portal. I somehow teleport into my house.

ME: Wow. That was disorienting.

I am in the kitchen.

ME: Okay, around this corner there will be a stargate.

I walk into the front hall. Nothing.

ME: Option 2. HEY MOM!!!!!

Nothing.

ME: MMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cool. You can yell as long as you want to in dreams. MMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She comes running.

MOM: What? Why are you yelling?
ME: Where's the stargate?
MOM: Go downstairs, turn left, turn left again, and then it's the first door on your left.
ME: Why does it have to be so complicated? Ugh.

I walk down the basement stairs, and turn left into the main basement area. I start to lose the dream again. I rub my hands together. It doesn't quite work.

ME: Vividness!

WHAM! Suddenly I can see each individual grain on the carpet, and every last line on the wooden boards that cover the walls. I'm sure that I was smiling an
ear to ear grin in my sleep right now. I turn left again. There's the door. I open it, and it leads to the garage.

ME: Wow. That's wrong. This is supposed to be a full story above here. Geez, subconcious, not to knock you, but....
CREEPY DISEMBODIED VOICE: Fine.

I look behind me. The garage, which I still am in, is in its proper location. Apparantly, my subconcious can speak to me in my dreams. Creepy.

ME: Wait. One more thing I wanted to do.

I close the door again.

ME: When I open this door, this dream will last six hours. (AGH! Stupid me. I forgot to say, "but in real time it'll last only one hour." I was trying to distort time,
you see. Thread about time distortion. [If you write in red, are the hyperlinks still
blue?])

I open the door and go into the garage. I think I got lucky that it wasn't some other room. I scan the shelves of crap. AHA! Right next to the leafblower lies a
five foot by five foot brown stargate. Significantly smaller than what it should have been. I pull it out and set it on the floor.

ME: Oh crap, I need a DHD. Okay, in one episode, they just spun it by hand to make it work.

I begin spinning it. The chevrons start to light up. Oddly, they're blue. (The stargate has a bunch of symbols on it representing locations. You dial and activate
the stargate by stopping the correct symbol under a chevron, a triangular thing that lights up orange. You have to spin it.) It's getting really hard to turn this
stupid thing.

ME: Why does it need to spin, anyway? It's totally nonsensical. AHH!

The stargate activated suddenly.

ME: Here goes nothing!

I jump through, and come out of a stargate that's embedded in the ceiling of a grocery store. I look around closely.

ME: Holy crap, it's the grocery store, the one from the grocery store assault dream! (see the very first dream)

There are a few key differences here. No crazy spanish speaking people, no enemies, and I don't have a gun. I look up to find that the stargate is gone.
I start to ask random people if they are dreamviews members. No such luck. I see a door. I enter it.
