      Completed Basic Task

      I completed the basic lucid task last night without even realizing it until after I had woke up and later thought about it.

      Using the WBTB method with 4mg of galantamine and 250mg of choline, I went back to bed after being up for 30 minutes.

      About an hour after going back to bed I find myself lucid in the bedroom of a house I used to live in over 30 years ago, which house is no longer there.

      I hear a clutter of voices speaking which I am unable to understand, and which I assume to be coming from the spirit realm since I am alone in the house.

      I then hear what appears to be a cat and a dog wrestling around in the room I am in which I also assume to be spirit animals since there is nothing else visible in the room with me.

      Because of all of the noises I am hearing I am having to really concentrate to remain lucid.

      I finally become annoyed with all of the distractions and decide to complete a task I had agreed to try earlier with my wife, so I concentrate on going to where I now live.

      As I had asked my wife earlier in the week to place something on a couch in a spare bedroom that I never go in, and not tell me what it is, I decide to try to find out what she placed on the couch.

      I float upstairs and go into our spare bedroom.

      When I get into the bedroom the couch is gone (lol).

      As I float around the room I find the couch against a different wall where an organ usually sits.

      I see a metal candle holder and a gray sweatshirt on the couch.

      I then float over to my wifes bedroom and lay down next to her and hug her. I tell her several times to try to remember the dream we are now sharing together.

      I then decide to try to complete the first lucid dreaming task of going to a haunted house, not realizing I had already unknowingly completed the task (I guess I was expecting something more like an Adams family house), but was too aware of being awake to continue dreaming.

      After waking up I ask my wife about what she had placed in the spare room. She seems interested in the candle holder and asks me what it looked like. I describe it to her as a metal candle holder which amazes her.

      When I check the spare bedroom, I find a metal candle holder with a short fat candle in it which I didn't see. I also find a book on the couch which I also didn't see.

      My wife is curious about what the sweatshirt looked like in my dream, and when I tell her it was a gray sweatshirt, she tells me that she did have a gray sweatshirt on the couch, but had just taken it out the day before.

      Now that I've got my badge and could go to the lucid task club forum to get this, here's what happened when I completed the advanced task a week ago.

      I completed the advanced task Saturday morning, but I hadn't been able to post it until now.

      Before I completed the task, I had two brief lucid dreams, and one unsuccessful attempt, but I'm not sure which of the dreams it was in, so I'll start as I reach a door, lucid. I open it, and just as I expect it's a bathroom, with a mirror over the door. Seeing my reflection, I quickly reach into the mirror, and grab him by the hand. I begin to pull him from the mirror, but as his head begins to come through the mirror, things begin to go wrong. Suddenly he begins an inhuman screaming, and there's a horrible expression on his face. He reminded me of a fish out of water. I found myself physically incapable of pulling him out further, and the dream quickly ended.

      Later, I was in an old-fasioned general store, with someone I knew to be a cousin of mine, although she did not resemble any actual cousins of mine. For reasons unknown or unremembered, she stabbed me in the hand, pinning it to a board, and ran out. As I pulled my hand free, I noticed how unreal the injury was, (it didn't hurt at all) and became lucid. I walked into the back room of the store, and just as I expected, there was a tall mirror resting against the back wall. I reached in with both hands, and pulled out my reflection.

      Every time I interact with my reflection, it seems a bit different. This time, it seemed childish, in the way it spoke and acted. I asked it, "Why do we dream?", and he replied, "My mommy's dreams are angels." Wanting a real answer, I said, "Okay, but why do we dream?" This time, he said, "Because we are human." I then asked him, "Why do humans dream?" He gave an answer, and one that even made sense at the time, but unfortunately I couldn't remember it when I woke, and am still unable to recall it. I asked him if he wanted to be put back into the mirror, but he didn't respond, and I woke up.

      This morning, being a Sunday, I woke up and went back to sleep. My dream was a lucid and so I decided to have some fun.

      I was in a garden, surrounded by a box hedge. I turned myself into Viola from 'Twelfth Night' and on cue the other characters turned up. There was Olivia, Sebastian and the Duke. After a brief conversation I left the garden and went down a path alongside a cliff face. Then it started raining. I noticed a door in the side of a cliff and went through it. Inside was dark, creepy, cold. Everything was made of rock. I couldn't see well, so clicked my fingers and said 'light!'. Instantly the top of my thumb burst into flames, rather like a bunsen burner. (I remember thinking 'Awesome! I have to put this on DreamViews. Isn't the task is something to do with creating fire?') It didn't hurt but, annoyingly, kept going out. The Duke appeared and ran off into a darker part of the cave. I ran after him. He turned a corner into a pitch-black alcove. I knew there were ghosts in there, something scary that I didn't want to face. I tried to get some thumb-light but for some reason it wasn't working. Fear won out over curiosity. I wandered back into the main part of the cave and sat in front of a convenient fire that had suddenly appeared.


      I woke up feeling pretty hopeful. Went online, re-read the task and realised I had been utterly wrong. After thinking about it, it occurred to me that the cave might count as a haunted house. And that I did attempt the Lucid Task, just the wrong one. So I'll post this up and see what happens next.

      Thank you for reading.

      Edit

      Why is my name in gold? And I have 'Completed Advanced Lucid Task' under my name? As far as I know, I haven't completed the Advanced Task for at least two months. Am I missing something?

      You get the orange name for either task, it's the badge that changes colors.

      I was standing in one of my elementary classrooms when I realized I was dreaming. I thought of the advanced task, and pulled a small handheld mirror out of my pocket. At first my friend Heather's reflection was in there, probably because she always carries around a mirror in waking life. Anyway, I said "Woah. Where am I?" and my reflection replaced hers.

      I could only get my thumb and pointer finger into the mirror because it was so small, so I had issues getting my reflection out. As I pulled her closer and closer to the edge, her mouth got bigger and took up much more of her face. Weird. Finally her face came out of the mirror, and I figured that would have to do.

      "Why do we dream?" I asked her.
      "We dream because we are born to dream, and by dreaming, we are born."
      "Awesome."
      And then the dream faded away.

      Talking I can't believe it!!!

      Guys!! I just woke up from a lucid dream and I feel so incredibly accomplished... I don't remember much of it... but here it goes:

      Something really weird was going on and I thought to myself, "Errr... yeah... I'm just going to do a reality check, okay?" So I did the nose RC and became lucid. I was in my college apartment and suddenly remembered the advanced task. I remembered how Adam pulled his head out of the mirror so I decided to do that.

      I took a deep breath (or whatever the equivalent is in LDs), walked up to the mirror in our hallway, and punched my hand through it as hard as I could to make sure that it would go through. It felt like glass was scraping my skin but it went through nonetheless. With surprising ease, I wrapped my fingers around my reflection's neck and pulled the head out of the mirror!

      For a second I forgot what I was supposed to ask it (I had only read the tasks of the month like once a few days ago) but then it came to me. I asked, "Why do we dream?" and the head just stared at me without saying anything. It was still acting like too realistic of a reflection so I thought I should do something to "wake it up." So, I threw the head as far up into the air as I could (to startle it maybe, hehe) and caught it. This time it still looked like me but it was an older and uglier version. I asked, "Why do we dream??" and it started to give me this cynical look of just plain loathing..

      So I decided to let it be and I stuffed the head back into the mirror. By now my entire reflection had become a bit haggard. I thought to myself that since I had gotten this far, I might as well conquer my mirror phobia and just go through the damn mirror. So, I lunged into it as hard as I could, felt glass scrape against my body, and entered a black void.

      I floated around in this void for a while and suddenly felt myself start to lose lucidity. I started to feel the sleepiness of my real body... but I rubbed my hands and did whatever else I could think of to stay lucid, and finally the black void became a new dream scene.

      Then I don't know what I did but yeah... who cares...

      You didn't read carefully. I shouldn't have the badge or gold because I didn't do the task. As far as I know, I haven't done any for at least two months. So, why the hell do I have a badge? *confuzzled*

      meh...another failed attempt at the tasks but I thought I would post it anyway

      m at work except im not in a office im in a warm living room lying on a sofa. Its Saturday evenning and I really cant be bothered. Everyone one has done so much work except me I have done nothing. My brother is there and he keeps nipping the back of my head and it really hurts. I shout at him and leave.

      Im walking down a street and I do a RC my hand has only 3 fingers and I do a nose check just to be sure and I can still breath. Thats it im dreaming! I want to complete th advanced task and I debate on if I should search for a mirror but instead I spot myself reflected in the window of a shop selling cars.

      I step up to the window and try to reach in but I just hit the glass. I re-focus telling myself that this is all just a dream. I slowly touch the glass with my right hand and it passes through the surface sending ripples across the glass but I only get a inch or so in and get stuck. I take my hand out the glass.

      A girl I work with shouts my name she says her mum wants to ask me something and asks if I will come and meet her. Im a little annoyed by this distraction but I figure I will see where this leads to. I walk past a silver 4x4 that has blacked out windows I try to get my reflection. Once again I get stuck a inch in but im still facinated by the ripples flowing across the surface of the galss.

      I find another window but instead of reaching in I try to draw my reflection out using Telekinesis but I cant my reflection just stares at me not moving at all. I turn my back on the window trying to imagine that my reflection is already out the mirror and when I turn around my reflection is just gone.

      Im slightly frustrated by my failed attempts so decide to try the basic task instead. I find a house that reminds me of something you would see on a christmas card I go to the door and think when I go through here it will be haunted and when I enter the house I will see ghosts and it will be scary but i am woken up by my mum shouting to see if I want to go out for lunch.

      just had my 6th ld lastnight and i almost got both tasks in one dream! i found a haunted house and decided that when i went in there would be a mirror there. i oppened the door and there was a hall way with a mirror at the end. it was kind of dark so i told my self that when i reached out and touched the wall, there would be a lightswithch there. so i tuned on the lights (turning on lights works! yay). walked to the mirror. for some reason there are red velvet stage curtains behind me in my reflection. i start to reach into the mirror but my f#%kn alarm wakes me up

      Wow, Miss mirror-phobia completed the mirror task! She's actually the very first thing that came to my mind when I learned of the mirror task and I thought about how cool it would be for her to complete it. Aww, I'm so proud. That's awesome

      Confronting fears in dreams is a very empowering feat. Let each of us remember that.

      Well, I had a failed RC last night and missed my chance (again). I did a nose pinch and couldn't breathe...

      I managed to find a haunted house. When I first realized I was lucid, I was in a field, in the middle was a shack that looked old, beat down, and slightly Demonic. When I got inside of it, there was a clown. He was completly yellow, and did not have any skin. It is kind of hard to describe, his organs and fluids just stayed in place. I asked him if this was a haunted house, and he said no. I asked him what it was, he told me to turn around, and then I was awake.
      Depsite what the clown says, I think it was a haunted house.

      Hey I got around to doing this during my nap today so I will post what happened.

      I was in a field of wheat which is usually where I start off in my dreams when I am lucid and searched for a house that I thought to be "Haunted." So on my journey I come to find a bunch of people laying down in front of this old rickety 2 story home that is painted black. As I approached the house the people in front of it stood up and turned into zombies and charged at me to my surprise (They had speed like the zombies in Dawn Of The Dead) so I run into the house and block the door and close the windows and slump down to the floor and sigh. After this I do a bit of exploring in the house the furniture and such is in very bad condition and the wallpaper is torn and I hear something going on upstairs. I went into this bedroom where and old record player was playing some weird tune and I shut it off because it was creeping me out. Once I turned it off I remembered that I needed to look for a mirror so the search began. I could not find one so I went to a old Clothes wardrobe and believed that a mirror would be in there when I opened it. When I did low behold I found a mirror. When I first looked I just saw a blurry reflection but upon focusing I did see someone who looked like myself I asked them to step out and they did. And chatted with them for a bit and then asked myself why do we dream. He rubbed his chin and gave me one of the most serious looks I have ever seen and said "If you don't know then why would I?" and then he stepped back into the mirror and my reflection disappered. I stood there for a moment realizing that was a pretty good answer actually and went back out and fought the zombies and woke up a bit later.

      No success for me, as of yet, but I had a very very short LD in which I grabbed a random girl's arm and said, "You! You're becoming [name of best friend] and you're coming with me, because this is a dream!" And then I was like "Wow- it is a dream!", did a RC and then woke up just as I was about to think of doing a task!
      The saying "in your dreams" has taken on a whole new meaning...

      I feel your pain, TS.
      See...what was I telling you in your DJ. I can't tell you how many times I ram my head into things while trying to dive through. But on a positive note, I'm able to get through quite a bit. I really don't know why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

I think it works better because it gives more time for it to happen, and in my experience, doing things you're not used to in dreams often works better if you don't try to make them happen in an instant.
      Thank you for this suggestion. I will defintely keep this in mind next time. It helps to try a variety of things. I'm really thinking this will work.


      And good job, Mark, on your attempts.

      I have bad teeth and my skin is also bad and for a second I wonder if this is showing me every fault I have ever thought I had but massivly exaggerated.

      That's funny, because I have had that happen too. Usually I have bad teeth and awful frizzy hair. But occasionally I will notice that I'm gorgeous and perfect...and that's always a nice change..... Good luck in your attempts!

      Ok, a few days ago, I had a WILD, and found myself in an amazing flying city. While I was there, I got to know many people, including a 15-ish year old boy named Ben. He showed me around the city and taught me how everything worked. The next night I had another WILD, and went back to this city. While I was there, I told Ben that I knew all of this was a dream, and asked him what the point was. His reply was, "Does the fact that this place exhists in your mind make it any less real then the one you are awake in? What makes your mind less real than the world you go back to? After all, the world you wake to is a fantasy to me." I know this doesn't fit the requirements of the task, but I thought it was an interesting answer anyway.

      Now that, I like. Sort of sounds something that The Little Prince would say.
