Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of August 2007

I really wish i could try some of these tasks, they sound so fun, whenever i become lucid i seemd to either forget what i was going to do or do something completely stupid. I feel that even if i remembered the task i would have to rush it before losing lucidity. Well i suppose i will try the tasks, whether i'll have any lucids is unpredictable. Could be fun though!

These look good! I think I'll try the bridge one, because seeing myself alseep would really creep me out.

Congrats on the first lucid, JJB and A Humble Sinner! Even if you didn't get the task this time-- you still got lucid! And Luna, interesting that your sleeping self just followed you around; I wouldn't have expected that.

I'm not too trusting of bridges these days.

I did have a lucid but when I tried to cross a bridge. (it did not look like "the one") However, as I entered onto the bridge it turned to mud, I became frazzled and lost my lucidity.
Not a good start. But who is counting?

wow i really like that begining task! looks kinda scary though. Do we have to make it all the way across? what if we fall off? and it looks kinda long...and slippery maybe we should switch the tasks. crossing a narrow,slippery,long,blue bridge over a gray ocean into a mysterious city sounds alot harder than waking yourself up! lol

either way, im going to cross it! this is going to be awesome!

freefire. That is one kick ass avatar! Literally and figuratively. Awesome.
ya ya ya

No LDs for me.

Two LDs last night, tried the advanced in the second. I sort of failed, sort of did it. Sleeping me was a tire pump, so I'm counting it as a fail.

The Dream

The dream began with me being held captive in a car by some guy I used to go to school with. He was driving me past ly house and towards his one. I didn't know what to do, after a while of toyying with my only possible escape route, I jumped out the window and floated away. There I realized I was lucid and tried to think of a way to do either the task or that wedding thing.

I figgured I was near enough to my home, so I'd try the task. I stared to fly back to my house when the sky went black and a thunder storm began. The boy was back. Thinking on my feet I controled the lightning and made it hit him, I thought that would be enough to hold him back until I had done the task. I flew home, making myself a light show with th lightning as I did, it was pretty.

When I got to my house it was daylight again, but for the life of me I couldn't get in. There was a red van parked outside though, which I thought to myself I would be in sleeping. Walking in I found a tire punp making snoring sounds, so I walked up to it and started to notice the dream was fading. Quickly I grabbed it and tried to wake it/me up. The boy walked into the van at that point with a friend, both had spears of sorts and were shouting "kill both of him". Knowing the dream would end soon, I shook ture pump me screaming "WAKE UP!" to try and get it to do something before the dream ended/the DC's killed us. I shut my eyes tight, then I heard a movement and a sound liker air comming from the pu,p/ When I opened ly eyes both DCs had oles in their boddies and were dead, while tire pump me was ploating above their corpses.

O_o This owas an odd one; that's for sure.

oh man, awesome stories here!

Well I became lucid last night, and I remembered the tasks, but I didnt complete them


I think I kind of knew I was dreaming. I was hanging out with a friend who is a girl and some other people and we would go to different places we weren't supposed to be. I remember picking her up and carrying her at times. At one point I tried to go through a TV headfirst but it didn't work. I hit my head off of it and felt it and heard the sound TVs make when you hit something on it. Then I tried feet first and it worked. I think I was falling really fast and I became fully aware that I was dreaming so I tried to go somewhere and I did. I tried to remember what the lucid tasks were and I remembered the city one first but I didnt see it or anything like it so I tried to remember the other one. I was having some trouble remembering but really wanted to and remembered that you shouldn't try to hard and to just relax in your dream. I remembered I was supposed to look for myself sleeping but I was outside already and in a strange place so I decided to do something else. everything was clear at the time but now it is hard to remember.



this was the first time I have ever remembered to do the lucid tasks so I'm really excited!! I think the combination of writing my dreams down, and sleeping on the couch ( well I always sleep on a couch, so its a different one across the room) has improved my dream recall, and number of lucid dreams.

This website is awesome!!!

You bet it is! Sounds like you made pretty good progress just remembering the tasks, even if you didn't get them. Good Job!

First let me say "congrats" to JJB, A Humble Sinner, Lunalight.. and 2Fruits, I think you should get credit for the 2nd task!

I was able to do the basic task in a fashion.. hopefully you'll give me credit Seeker!

Some background on those who like to read "how" someone got lucid (if you'd like to jump right to the lucid part.. see the wording in red).

I went to bed around 12am and listened to the ninja9578's dream recall mp4: Dream Recall MP4

I woke up at 3:00 am, went to the bathroom and then went to my living room couch. I took one last look of the picture of the lucid task's "blue bridge", turned off the light and lay on my back to try to WILD.

I decided to try something different so along with mentally repeating my regular suggestions (i.e., I am dreaming, this is all a dream, I will realize I'm dreaming etc.), I decided to repeat them while also listening to ninja9578's reverse subliminal MP4: Reverse Subliminal MP4

Once I heard the CD click off, I removed my earphones, put in my ear plugs and then rolled on my right side. I thought again of the blue bridge and mostly let my mind wander while every now and then reminding myself that I will realize when I am dreaming and will become lucid.

I don't recall exactly when I became lucid.. there was no big "shift" or anything.. I just knew that I was in a lucid dream.

I did some irrelavent stuff and then I remembered the lucid task. I looked around the large cement park that I was in and thought, "How the heck am I going to find that blue bridge?!".

I looked around and a beautiful bird which reminded me of this bird: http://www.uniqueexposures.com/galle...?image_id=1487 flew down and landed on the 5' tall cement wall in front of me.

I told the bird that I need to go to the "rainbow bridge". I don't know why I said "rainbow bridge" except that I had read Nina's posting earlier about her dog having a stroke and it reminded me of my dog's passing and the Rainbow Bridge



The bird seems to nod at me and I can't recall if I shrunk down to his size or if he grew to mine but I hopped on his back and we took off into the clear blue sky. I kept repeating take me to the "rainbow bridge" and the bird flew until I saw a large body of water with a city at the other end. I kept looking for a blue bridge but I never saw it.. just lots of water and that city in the distance.

The bird and I reached the city and, as we hovered over one of the larger buildings, it was as if the roof was gone and I could see clearly what was happening inside.

I could hardly believe my eyes at what I saw... yet at the same time.. it didn't strike me as terribly odd. There in that large room were dozens of Santa Clauses and Mrs. Clauses!

The Mrs. Clauses were all busy making gift baskets and I could hear them cheerfully saying, "Keep it up ladies!" and "They're depending on us" and "We've got deadlines to make".

Somehow it came to me that the blue bridge's city was a magical place for "giving".. a city where good intentions and wishes were "packaged".

I watched for awhile (invisible to those working below) and then the bird flew me back to the cement park where my lucid dream began.

I then forced myself to wake up so I could write it all down.

I hope it counts.. I didn't walk across the bridge but I did find the city that it led to and I reported back what I found there.
.

Wow, Clairity. Wish my dreams were like that.

Congratulations to everyone so far--these must be good tasks, lots of success already.

This is the first I've seen them, so I'll get started. The "find your own body" one is weird. I remember being worried about my body once and trying to leave it in a safe place while I flew around, so maybe I can do it.

Congrats to Clarity and Alex D! Alex D I think you NEARLY completed the task... and Clarity I think yours definitely counts!

Cool stuff so far! I'm still waiting for someone to actually wake up when they wake up their sleeping body =)

I'm also waiting for an LD so I can try it!

Darn it, i was close, i took a nap this afternoon for some odd reason and i was in my bed and then i remember being in the dream and realising that i was dreaming somehow, no, that was it, i remember that i ment to check my reality and i was pretty sure it was a dream already, i was laying in my bed in the dream, just about to test my reality and it phased into me waking up and seeing what i saw in the dream. It was weird but all i had to do was get out of bed and wake myself up whilst remaining lucid, thats probably the closest i'll get for now.

That made me crack up laughing

I did the first task.

After I became lucid, I looked out to the horizon and created the blue bridge to the city. Then I started walking on it but soon I was flying. Eventually, I was hovering over the city. The city looked cartoon-like and didn't look real. I could see people below but they looked like toy "bus people". After having a look around I went on to do something else.

This probably doesn't count but I'll slap it up here anyway because it was the advanced task I was focussed on as I attempted to WILD.
It's very short.

From my DJ:
3- Waking Me

Got up this morning and got a drink, felt I was in WILDing form so I went back to bed. Took a while to cross over.

I felt a nudge. I 'woke up' laying in bed, immediately knew someone was there with me. Looked over onto the right side of the bed and there I sat looking back at me. I was startled a bit and we sat there looking at each other for quite a while, I think each was waiting for the other to say something.

"Get up already, Lazy." The other me said and shifted position. She sat with her back against the headboard, started messing with her nails, "We don't have all day."

I sat up, pushed the covers off of me and realized I was only in my underwear. I pulled the covers over me again. I leaned closer to the other me and touched her leg. She was in shorts and a tanktop. She looked at me and slowly reached and touched my cheek with the tip of her finger. At this point I wondered which of us was the 'real' me. I felt I could be either one of us.

There came the sound of something crawling under my bed. My first thought was it was the ferret and I wondered if it had escaped it's cage again.

I woke up abruptly and looked under my bed. My dog was under it crawling around. I sat up, looked to that empty side of my bed and decided to RC. I was really awake.

Vexxie, that was WAY cool. Hmmm, now I wonder, is the real Vex Kitten posting here?

Wow, Vex - what a cool dream! That would have freaked me out a bit.

skywatcher, for some reason images of "Lego" people or "Weebles" (i.e., "Weebles wobble but the don't fall down") sprung into my head! LOL!!

Congrats on completing the task!!

Uhm.. someone queue the "Twilight Zone" theme song..

Vexy, that was too cool and waaaaay too freaky! I almost felt a little "uncomfortable" reading it.
.

I wasn't sure if that would count or not but I gots my gold wings now so I guess it did.

It's not what I expected to happen at all. And it was kind of creepy. One of my biggest fears is waking up to see someone there that shouldn't be. I'm glad that I was lucid enough to not flip out at the sight of myself.

And Seeker, I'm not entirely sure if it is the real me posting anymore.

Wow, very nice lucid Clairity
wish mine where that great. mine are aways dull unfortunately

Right, managed the advanced one this tile and it turned out ok, it was just such a short LD that I didn't get to to much.

The dream began with me in my living room, which I found odd right away because I'm in France right now, so there I got lucid. I figgured I'd go do the task, then go on and do some other things I'd ben wanting to do while lucid, so I looked around the house, summoning sleeping me before entering each room, but nothing worked. I ended up back in the living room where 'I' was asleep on a couch. So at that point I went to wake him/me up. I shook him/me wand when it woke up I told it that he had been asleep, to which he responded "That's nice, now go away." and went back to sleep. After that I just left the house and woke up.

I did the advanced task. WOP!

I was somewhere between awake and asleep when I decided to try and do the task. I tried to induce a Lucid, and it worked! But I woke up just before seeing myself. I tried again but a wall instantly grew around the bed and then I woke up.

The third time, I just couldn't get myself to appear in the bed. So I gave up, I slumped down beside the bed and tried to remember the easy task. I couldn't remember in the slightest so I idly started tapping the bedpost. Then I noticed a foot was tapping in time with my hand. I stoop up, and saw myself in the bed! She didn't look much like me, but I knew who she was. I can't remember if she was awake or asleep. I think I shook her (myself?) awake. She didn't say much at all, just stared at me. But when I commented on how little she looked like me she said she'd try and fix that. Then I shut my eyes and focused (or maybe she did.. it's a little hazy) and *poof* she had my colour hair and eyes.

Then I got distracted by my brother walking into the room. I tried asking him what the easy task was but he didn't know either. I looked back at the Me in the bed, just to see her fading away like a ghost. No matter how much I tried I couldn't bring her back. Not much happened after that. Except that I found computer, and tried to go on Dream Views but my hands didn't work properly and I couldn't type the name.

The End.

woohoo done the advanced task. kk so i was at school and the teacher was sayin random stuff like what cheese is made of. so that made me lucid straight away. so i imagined seeing myself in bed and it worked! i saw myself sleeping like a baby. i shook him/me and he/i got up and started yelling at me about why i woke him up and i/he just (this is hard to explain) sorta jumped out of bed and i ( yes the i as in me) woke up.
