Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of August 2007

I thought Speel did it. The use of the word "body" probably influenced his dream.

But I guess only Clairity's counts, because she the only one with a badge!

(Seeker I know you are busy head-banging and globe-trotting this month!:p)

I'm not the only one.. Vex Kitten, Skywatcher, JJB and Lunalight all have badges too! :p

Still waiting on my badge.

ok.. so you were a corpse.. but really, is there no deeper "sleep"?!

Thanks for the Support Oneiroaught and Moonbeam!
And, Clairity

edit: For some weird reason I believe I ressurected twice :/ I did it once...

I don't get it. Everybody can make up some story and say that it was they dream.
Is it goes on trust in people?
If it is I'm very glad, because it's very rare to encounter on such a point of view in the west civilization and generaly in the world.

What would anyone get from making up anyway?

Its different on this subject than most subjects, cause even if they make it up it doesn't matter, its all in your head anyway lol, now if we were saying these things occured in reality...that would be a different story =D

I did it!!!! I found myself and woke me up - sort of. This was part of a string of false awakenings and lucids:
--
I am laying on a cot behind a screen, trying to WILD but not having any luck. I do an RC when I give up and find I've been lucid all along! I get up and walk out into some sort of old bricked laboratory. I walk out into a massively huge hall, devoid of people. I try to remember the tasks and cannot, so I push into the air and easily fly up to the ceiling. I want to walk on the ceiling to see if I can invert the world. Keeping my feet on the ceiling is difficult, and the dream keeps buckling when I try to stand still. I land back on the floor, walking back toward the laboratory while studying my hands - my right hand seems quite normal, but I have two left hands, back-to-back. I think about how interesting that would be if I could get my hands on a guitar, and then remember the task of finding my body and waking it up. I see the screen, walk around it and there I am, laying on the cot. I reach down and wake it and me up.

(I woke into another dream, eventually did another RC, had another lucid moment and another fadeout, etc.)

Congratulations pj! (I'm just so proud of you!)

Now that would be a guitarist I'd pay money to see!

Anyone could, but then it is only cheating yourself lol

I promise to update this on Friday and give out badges. I'm out of town right now and about to run out of expensive internet time!

I did the basic task in my first ld. If you want to read the whole dream: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...886#post496886. I am just posting here the part that has to do with the task.

As I was flying, I suddenly thought, "I should try the lucid task of the month!" I told myself there was that grey, big city, just out of sight to the left. I turned a bit, and there it was, but I had forgot to think of the bridge. Darn! It couldn't be the same city without the bridge. I turned away, and told myself that there was a blue, ribbon-like bridge stretching accross the water to the city. I looked back and there was. I landed on it, but it wasn't very stable, probably because I told myself that it was ribbon-like. I slid on it to the city. Then I started flying around to see what the city was like. There was a thing in the middle of the city. It looked like a huge, bulging, metal smokestack that was all twisted in knots, with no tall section sticking up out of it. More amazingly, though, there were a few dinosaurs. I remember seeing a triceratops, and another dinosaur that my subconcious must have made up, and called, a Nyriasaurus (NIGH-ree-ah-saurus) (I'm pretty sure that's what it was. I practiced the name in the dream a few times so that I would remember). It was very similar to a triceratops. I don't remember if it had horns, but the large plate-thing behind it's neck, unlike a triceratops, was folded foward in half, and kind of bent in a u shape around the back of the head. I went down to examine a couple of Nyriasaurus but they started mating (although looking back, it didn't look like mating at all). I got grossed out and left.

therpgmaker, I just replied to your other posting but also wanted to post here congratulating you on your first lucid dream and on completing the task!

A very impressive way to begin your lucid journey!

heheh thats' funny!:p

Got close to doing the Bridge Task...


Lucid Dream (Task Attempted):


The dream started with me watching this girl. She was about 17 and looked mixed race (probably half black/ half white or Mexican). She was standing on a busy road that bridged over another busy road. She looked down and saw a homeless man. She then took off her nice jeans jacket and dropped it down to him.

The man saw the jacket fall to him. He ran over to it excited and took off his old torn, dirty jacket and put on this nice one. He looked very happy.

I looked back at the girl, who had also watched his reaction. She smiled and walked away to meet her friends.

I got the feeling by watching her that she did this on a fairly regular basic. I also felt that she had picked this particular homeless man for a reason.

The next thing I remember is that I am now a character in the dream, rather than just an observer. I am with the gil and her friends. The best friend (a guy) also looks half black.

First we are talking. The boy is trying to figure out why the girl enjoys giving all her stuff away to the homeless. She is trying to explain. I get it, but the boy doesn't quite understand.

Then we are on a road riding something (I can't remember what it was--not a bike, but something you sit on that had wheels--but I don't remember how it moved). I remember coming to a hill. I knew that I had special powers, so I made my thing that I'm riding start zipping up the hill very quickly. The guy frind is now next to me, and we start to race up this very big hill.

Then I remember being back under a freeway (yet it seemd to be high on a hill). I saw the homless man again. He had written on the side of the freeway wall a big message with shaving cream. The message was saying thank you to the girl for sharing her stuff. I was touched by the message--as if I were that girl.

Suddenly I became lucid. I don't remember anything in particular triggering it.

At first I wanted to stay and thank the man, but at the same time I knew this was a dream, and as rude as it felt, I just took off flying away from the man.

As I started to fly over the city (I felt this was LA), the thought came to me to try one of the Tasks. I had this feeling of panic come over me as I had developed this fear the past couple of weeks that I would wake up the moment that I thought about the task.

I focused hard on the dream. I told myself to think about the bridge task--not the waking myself up task (I was just sure that by even attempting this one I would lose the dream).

Suddenly I was with Philip. We flew together. I told him I needed to find the blue DV bridge. We flew to the ocean and start flying along the coast. I felt that this is where we woudl find it since in the picture the bridge goes across the water.

As I was flying I started talking--kind of chanting--to myself. "I'm looking for the bridge...I'm going to find the bri-dge....I need to find you bridge...."

I then saw some friends of mine standing close to the edge of a cliff by the ocean. I got distracted for a moment and flew down to talk to them. It was Steve J and N. I started talking to them about Lucid dreaming. And asking them if they've ever had a lucid dream. I can't remember their answers. But as I left I told them that I was having a lucid dream right now, and that's why I could fly.

I then walked to the edge of the cliff. I wanted to jump off. For a moment I was afraid to. But then I just did it. I didn't even fall. I just took off flying into the air again.

Finally I saw a bridge. It was this huge metal bridge. It went out over the ocean just like I pictured the blue bridge to go. I could see in the distance a mysterious city just like in the picture. I decided that even though this bridge was metal, I would just have to see where it went.

This bridge was very tall from bottom to top. I think cars drove on the very bottom. I didn't know what all the stuff on the top was. It was built like a huge child's climber.

I started walking across the very top. There were these metal balls (about 5 inches diameter) that I had to walk on (it was not a smooth strip) that were on top of these poles. I noticed that I was barefoot and the tops of these balls had a bump that was very uncomfortable to step on.

I told myself that since I was in control here that I could make it so the bumps went away. Sure enough, the next balls had a nice smooth surface.

The bridge arched with the high spot being in the center of the span. I could see that the balls I was walking on met a higher structure that was built on that very center spot. It was like a geodesic dome, all filled in with connecting bars (again, like a child's climbing toy).

I got to that and started climbing through. I couldn't see the other side but I told myself again and again that once I got past this high poin that on the other side I would see the blue bridge and that I would just be able to sit on it and slide to the mysterious city. I was so absolutely positive that I would be seeing this.

As I climbed through that center area, I suddenly noticed that I was not alone. I looked above me and saw a black figure with a long black cape. My heart started to pound as I realized that I was only about 20 feet from Darth Vader. I also knew that he had been looking for me for a long time.

He started talking to me. The first thing he said to me was that he was about to kill me.

I looked back at him and told him, "No, I don't think so. If you wanted me dead you would have killed me before I got this close."

I could tell he was a little upset for me having called his bluff. But he tells me again that he is going to kill me.

But I'm no longer afraid and I climb closer and closer to him. I told him, "We need to talk. You aren't going to kill me because you want me to join you. So let's talk. "

And alas, at that moment that could have proved so interesting......I woke up.

"join me...and together we will rule the galaxy as (daughter) and Father?"

hahhah I couldnt resist and nerd out on that one! yeah Darth!

Twoshadows, I always enjoy reading about your LDs cuz you describe them so incredibly well! The interaction between the 17 year old girl, her jacket, the homeless man and the shaving cream message actually drew me in. I felt like I was there watching it occur.

Maybe we could give you 1/2 a pair of wings.. after all you did find and walk on the blue bridge..

Haha....

I'm not sure if you are familiar with the relationship I seem to have developed with Darth Vader in my dreams...

I seem to have developed this odd sort of romatic relationship with him. So maybe it should be more like, "Join me and we will rule the galaxy as "Boyfriend and girlfriend". Except that sounds weird. Maybe "Join me and we'll rule the galaxy as husband and wife".....:p

Okay, it all sounds weird....

Thanks Clairity...

My dream memories fade over time, so I try to write them with as much detail as I can remember to help me remember all that happened.

The interaction between the 17 year old girl, her jacket, the homeless man and the shaving cream message actually drew me in. I felt like I was there watching it occur.

You know, I really was rather fascinated myself. I don't usually dream like that, where I'm mostly just an observer. I don't know what triggered this part at all.

Oh, and I didn't quite get to the right bridge....

First off, im new,..and some people might feel insulted by what im about to ask.so, im sorry and i just want to know.

Isn't this LUCID TASK a bit Convenient?
I mean, people could lie about all their dream and stuff just to get the badge.
How do you guys even know if its really what they had dreamed?

Thanks and sorry again.

Btw,..This month task sound awesome!
Hopefully noobs like me can learn much more from here!

Yeah, but it's just a temperary badge. It's not like it's a cash reward or something like that. Really, there is not a lot of motivation to cheat. The fun is in actually acomplishing the task.

People could lie, yes, but they'd only be cheating themselves. It sounds silly, but there's a real sense of achievement to be felt when you do one of these things. (That and recording false dreams isn't great for the old recall)

Yes you could lie...but you would be a loser...and a liar. Lol. You really don't do this for much other than your own self...the badge is just a plus.

Yes,...and how would you guys decide which person are telling the truth?
