Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of August 2007

Introduction:

This topic is for the Lucid Tasks I assigned this month. During this month, please attempt one or both of the tasks.

Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task, your efforts should make interesting reading! This is required in order to get credit, it is no longer sufficient just to say that you did it.

Whoever completes either of these tasks gets the following goodies until the end of the month:

*** Your name will be displayed in ORANGE in the online members list at the bottom of the main forum page.

*** You will receive a special title and badge

*** You will receive access to the "Lucid Task Club" which is a limitted access forum for people that complete the lucid task each month.

Tasks for this month:

Lucid Task: On the Dream Views main forum, there is a blue bridge leading to a mysterious city. Cross this bridge and report back what you find on the other side.


Advanced Task: Find your sleeping body and wake yourself up.

cool first reply.....

i think ill try waking myself up
should be fun!!!

I'm a miserable witch when someone wakes me up prematurely. I'd probably end up kicking my own butt if I woke myself up in dream. Would be interesting to see who would win out of that fight though. I can't loose right, I mean, I'll win either way.

I always wondered what was in that city on the other end of the bridge. Do we actually have to walk across it or can we fly or teleport?

haha awesome! Do I get my advanced badge already? :p

I plan on riding a magical unicorn to the other city and mabey find more unicorns and we'll all be friends and live under rainbows and have icecream as butterflies flit around in the flowering trees.. *sighs*

Can we turn around and go the other way...?

I plan on riding a motorcyle or a flying lion across the bridge. :p

Anyway, I got the advanced one, an uninteresting as it is.

I did a WILD, and had a false awakening. I stood up, and took a moment to rub my hands and get a grip on what I should be doing. I remembered the advanced task. I turned around, fully expecting my sleeping self to be there. I (she? AHHHH!) was there, but she was wearing the clothes I wore yesterday, not the pajamas I wore when I went to sleep. I woke her up, and she sat up slowly, not saying anything, apparently very tired. (Well, I would be! It was like 6:00 a.m. and in the summer I wake up at 9:00!) She got out of the bed and stood behind me. I got the impression that she was just going to be my shadow throughout the dream. I phased through my second story window to test this idea. When I landed, I turned and she was still there.

I took another moment to rub my hands and gother my thoughts, and decided that I should go to the Lucid Crossroads for Alex D and Kromoh's wedding. I began spinning, and nearly woke up. I could feel both my back against the bed and my feet on the ground. However, I concentrated hard and ended up at the crossroads. My sleeping clone wasn't behind me anymore. I guess she got lost during the telelport. I walked up to one of the blue women and asked, "Could you please tell me where the events room is? I'm here for Kromoh and Alex D's wedding." She looked a bit confused, (must be in training) and said, "I'm afraid you're going to have to ask that woman over there." She pointed to another blue person about 30 feet away. I thanked her and turne back toward the other person. I passed the 'coffee table' and figured I should sign the guest book, as it was my first visit. I picked up the book, and opened it to reveal a book of coloring book pages, crossword puzzles, word find puzzles, and sudoku. Some things were filled in, some weren't. And some were filled in when I passed them once, and then cleared when I turned back. I rifled through the book trying to find the signing page. I thought, "I know a lot of children lucid dream, but this is ridiculous." I woke up before I could find the right page. Don't worry, I get there next time!

omg, i was going to do the basic task but i couldn't remember it, i even tried getting on dreamviews in my dream and then i went to try the advanced one but went off track and ended but exploring stuff.

I have a better and more interesting idea, find your sleeping self, masturbate your sleeping self and see if you have an orgasm, whilst your masturbating your sleeping self.

Lucid tasks are designed to help you learn more about yourself and to improve your ability to control your LDs.

If you repost in this thread, then yeah....

Oh yes, I am very much looking forward to the advanced task. Last time I tried that I got a rather interesting result. The dream kind of split, a false awakening and the lucid at once, it was odd.

It'll be interesting to see how the experience differes however many years later.

I didn't wake myself up though, well I woke my 'actual' self up because it scared me lol

hmm the advanced one sounds fun! I'm definitley going to try it next time i am lucid

This sounds fun. I have never tried one of these, but first I have to get lucid I haven't did one in years.................

Wish me luck guys and I'm extremely happy right now for some reason. So I love you all!

I'm going straight for the advanced. Haha. I am not good at creating cities or large scale things. But creating my own house and finding myself in my room shouldn't be that hard.

WOO
this is actually my first lucid Too!
Ill explain
Before i went to bed a a couple hours ago i saw this thread and though. well ok Ill try to do a false wakeup and remain calm after i do.
And this time before i went to bed i wrote something on the back of my hand, it said I'm dreaming, so i went to sleep, i woke up ,it was sunny out and i did a reality check, looked at my hand and nothing was written, i thought to myself though I'm dreaming. i went over to my x box and tried to turn it on, nothing happened, i turned around and there was another me laying in my bed, i went over and tried to wake myself up , it didn't work, i took a pillow from under his head and whacked him/me with it, he woke up . i was about to ask questions to him. but he had already known what i was going to ask, i think i must of been talking to myself. or my brain. anyhow , i got really exited asking all these questions and i woke up, its only 2 hours after i went to bed, but i did it my first LD too
I don't know if this will count but i think it meets the standards, Il have to work on not getting as exited tho i cant beilive i got the advanced one tho,
My first LD

I actually can not find my own body without waking myself up so this one might be easy,,, I tried for a couple years to watch myself sleep, but everytime itr wakes me. So tonight I will see if it happens again.

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.

Basic task done, as of this morning. From my journal:

Goodbye my Friends of the Echo Egg (Aug Lucid Task)
I went downstairs and outside. It was cold, dark, and foggy, with just a little snow on the ground. I was barefoot, but it was only a little cold on my feet, so it was bearable. I kept saying out loud how the sun was going to rise, the fog would lift, and the snow would melt, but things were happening much too slowly for my taste. My control was not too good, but the realism was top-notch.

I remembered the August task of the blue bridge, and asked myself where it should be. I decided it was accessed behind this large ornate stone building that I saw. I went up the steps, and noted the name on the front of the building: "ECO EGG." I pronounced it to myself "Echo Egg."

I went through a few doors, then found a room with a bar and a pool. I decided that I had enough with the doors, and that the blue bridge would start here somewhere. I looked down, and it was coming up to meet my feet from the the water of the pool. It was only a few feet long, but as I started walking on it, it would extend forward, allowing me to progress.

The bridge was a little rubbery and would start to bend more and more, the further I walked on it, making it hard to stay on. I instead decided to sit down on it, hold on, and let it take me for a ride. It curved around, and went past a large wooden table where strange little people dressed in Robin Hood type garb were drinking from pewter steins. The were watching me ride the blue track, and a couple of them seemed to be raising their drinks to me.

The track seemed to be heading for a large window, and I was looking forward to where it would take me. I began to sing a song for the drinkers as I was leaving:

Goodbye my friends of the Echo Egg
it's time for me to sit and beg

It made no sense, but I felt I had to get that second line to rhyme, and couldn't think of anything! The track was just at the window when DING! My alarm went off and woke me up for the morning.

The full dream, as well as the actual melody of my little song is in my journal.

Thanks Pride! It does help alot to have a "goal" in mind (plus the more lucids you have.. the better they should get).

Alex, LOL! I'm curious.. would you respond like that in real life if someone woke you up?!

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.

Wow. Wolfie, your subconscious really didn't want you bothering your "sleeping" you did it?

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.

I like that.. your sleeping foot keeping rhythm with your astral hand! It's also cool how your sleeping you changed herself to look like you when you commented that she didn't.. but then she faded away.

CRAP.. I wanna know what was on the other side of the window!! But hey.. you rode a bridge, met some nice "merry men" AND you serenaded them with a cute little song!

All in all.. a very nice lucid dream indeed!

Congratulations everyone!!

I probably would if I know the person.
