I don't think we do...we just go by if the description fits the rules of the task. Well that is to say seeker does.

HypnoPsychE, we have members from all over the world and we take that into account when reading posts.
Also, we shouldn't have to defend ourselves and the fact that we BELIEVE in the integrity of our members and take them at their word (crazy as that may seem to newbies).
Bottom line, if you don't trust/believe what you read in the "Task of the Month", please don't read it.. and feel free not to post in it..
Sorry, I tend to get testy when people question the integrity of others just cuz they can.
.
Dont worry about it! :)
Ill be back once im good enough and give a motherload of dream story!lol
Later.
I trust you guys to tell the truth. :D I mean, if you cannot trust a lucid Dreamer, who can you trust.
I think everyone is up to date, please e-mail me if I missed you.
I wish I could have an LD.. Darn this hotel life!!! :cry:
Yay, badges! Thanks, Seeker! :D
Also, for the people wondering, the bridge is not on the forums! :D

This is the bridge.
edit: I decided to do the basic task too, so I have something more to show off (lol) and so I have fun. I guess my sick mind will make something awesome in there.
If you'd read just a few post above yours, you'd see that very same question being asked and answered.
The thing we all must consider is that this is a website about dreams and dreaming. You can't get much more abstract than that. So yes, people have to be taken at their word. Hopefully members will have the decency to be honest. If it was all about looking cool and impressing others, many more members would be sporting badges.
If you can't be trusted at your word then you can't be trusted period.
Yes, i was ask a question and I answer on it immediately. :happyface:
I don't know English very well too and I don't know how will I describe something in English that I can describe in my own language. :uhm::)
I did some crazyes thing than this month task (talking to few of myself, or exercise my arm when it's been paralysed, ... ), but lately I had no problem to have LD, but I have a problem because I'm very easy sleeper and I awake to quickly and my LD is very short and I have no time to try month task. :(
But, I'll keep trying and I'll be back soon ... ;)
Btw, Seeker
that numbers in your signature is dates when you have LD's, am I right?
What mean point '.' after some of the dates, is it that you have several of LD's that night?
I think when the little dry spell I'm having right now ends, I'll try the bridge task.
does the advanced task count if your on the opposite end of it? technically you did wake yourself up, im gonna try it
I'm just going for the advanced task now. I'm going to attempt more WILDs, and just walk out of my bed in the dream. Then wake my self up... which will hopefully not literally wake me up:)
If that makes sense.
alri lads? and birds i guess...
bin on a road trip cross canada, so havent bin able to post for ages. i was in bc if anyone really cares and i actually did this one before the month began (lucid task club).
sorry if its lackin in detail, anyways here it is.
i was in my house, but it was like it was when i was a child, and everything was alot bigger and older than it is today. we bought two terrace houses, and they mirror in design, just everything is opposite. like on one side you walk in through the front door and theres a door on the right, but in the other house, its the same thing, but the door is on the left. can be very confusing for people who havent been there before. i cant remember what was goin on up till this point.
i was in a room on the usually unused side of the house, and this was back when we hadent bought it, and knocked in te walls and all that, so it had all my neighbors things in it, and my neighbors were walkin round and chillin and the like. the dream leading up to this point was in between lucidity and normal dreamstate, and then i just suddenly snapped out of it, and went highly lucid.
i looked around the house, and leaned down and looked at my hand, tryin to increase lucidity and stabalise the dream cause i could feel it slippin. i looked out of the window out onto the bray bay (an amazing view, but we live nowhere near it, so it was pretty cool.) i jumped down into the garden, and tryed to fly, and went a good ways but ten startedcomin down. i ended up jumpin really long dstances across the bay, and when i came down, just running along the water, and then jumpin up again.
i remembered the lucid task, and started jumpin out seawards. i closed my eyes, and willed a blue bridge to be there when i opened them. i opened my eyes and sure enough there was a bridge there leadin to a city thing (i was losing lucidity somewhat at this point, and everythin was a bit blurry.). i was runnin and jumping across this bridge, and there were traintracks and things appearing, with trains and trucks (all really futuristic) goin past me, when i started comin into this city that was like a modern art version of the ballymun flats.
everything was made of old rusty metal and stuff, really futuristic and stuff. there were spaceships and stuff going through the air, the the whole thing started to fade, out till it was black.
well thats it i guess, im in toronto at the mo and will be takin my flight back to dub tomorrow so will probably be postin regularly again if my net is workin, just thought id throw that in there.
seeker will decide wheter i get the cred or watever.
see yiz!
I had a wierd FA and I got out of my bed, then looked back at my bed and saw myself still sleeping there.
I remembered the task, then shook my sleeping self awake.
Nothing happened so I punched myself (in the bed) in the face.
I actually felt the punch myself.
That woke the me in the bed up, I looked around for a second, then I awoke from my dream with my other body :/
Do you have to complete the whole BASIC and ADVANCE at the same time?
What If i completed the same task over and over again?
Heh...5.10 am...goddamn...!
Hello everybody - very glad to be back after a long absence! :banana:
Thought I would share an experience: I haven't ever woken myself up before, but I have found myself sleeping in bed during a WILD.
To be completely honest, it was actually quite scary! I didn't feel comfortable to do much more than glance at myself sleeping, before examining the rest of the room. I guess WILDs can be disorientating, and looking at my sleeping self was just a bit too much to deal with at the time.
But I've no doubt that this will get easier with practice. Hooray for Lucid Dreaming! Well done to those who've cracked the tasks! :D
COMPLETED LUCID TASK....
so basically what i did was WILD and then i just flew around the worlds for a while seeing what crazy scenarios my mind could make up....i won't go into detail but there were some mind boggling things in there....
and then i remebered the lucid task so i imagined the blue bridge and ran across it......
if you've seen the film BATTLE ROYALE then you would know that its about loads of teenagers on an island killing each other....that WAS the island and i was basically watching the movie from my point of view as a spectator....(this dream was mainly due to me seeing battle royale before i went to sleep)
About advanced task:
While I waiting to have stabile LD and try this task with blue bridge, let me say something about advanced task.
I'll definitly wont try it because I wont to sleep longer :P;) and have LDs.
When I was younger (about 4 to 8 years old) I had a LDs and if I wont to awake myself because of something scary I had a technique to blink three times with my eyes. Later, after several years I was watching one episode of Star Track, where Chakoty describing some Indian technique of consciousness dreaming and to awoke him self from a dream he hit him self three times in his fist. It was make quite impression on me, that I natively (instinctively) discover myself some technique of LD in such young age.
