Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of October 2007

Okay, first off, i was not lucid, but it was a very vivid dream, so i don't know if this counts.

I was walking down this path and it was pitch black, i mean darker than standard night darkness, it was very dark like dreams can be, and i proceeded forward and saw an opening into some very very tall grass, i walked through it into a small opening where the grass had been flattened and i stopped, looked around and observed, i was a little scared at first but then i came to my senses and got over the fact that it was dark and scary. I then looked into the distance and saw a dim light ahead, and like a fly to a bright light i was drawn. I proceeded into the darkness and the grass and then found myself outside a large house, it looked asthough it was built 1800's by the looks of it. It looked really creepy and scary, and then suddenly i heard a ruffling sound from behind the house. Like the stupid person i am i walked round to the back of the house and found the back door swinging open and closed in the wind. I heard a small, cold and chilling whisper in the wind around where i was and it gave me a scare so i quickly moved into the house.

I then walked into the house and saw a big open room in the centre of the house, i walked over and found a gridded area in the centre of the room. I looked down and it was pitch black, then i saw a small glimmer coming from the bottom of this huge pit and then i saw a pair of evil white eyes coming up towards me.

Thats all i remember for now, maybe it counts, maybe it doesn't, i wasn't lucid as far as i know but it was a very vivid dream and my emotions were high, i might aswell have been lucid. I'll let you guys be the judge.

Success....finally. Both tasks done..
so i got all my sleep and tried to wild at about 4:47 and i was almost there then my girlfriend kicks me...I thought it was over.
so i got up and went to the bathroom and layed back down on my side
and then i felt the shift, bamm, lucidity.
so im floating around this house and the lights are off and I find a door and concentrate on a haunted house, I open it and its almost pitch black in this hallway and I can see this scare crow like DC at the end and he moves out of the way, so i go through the door and find a mirror and its kind of tilted downward, I pulled my reflection out and asked him why we dream and he replied "we dream only because we have to" and then after that i had to wake up and write it down

Very efficient -- a mirror in a haunted house. That's the way to do it, dreamscaper 22. Even the answer was short and sweet. I need to do it like that if I'm going to get it done this month.

From my understanding, the basic task is something you could actually do in real life and the advanced task is something that's not possible to do in real life.

I don't have access right not but, from what I recall, it's another sub-forum (like this one is) under "Lucid Experiences".

well i knew I didnt have much time...so i tried to find both in the same place

Good job, everyone....


Oneironaut, I knew you could do it! I like the details you share in trying to pull the reflection out.


A Humble Sinner--I really enjoyed reading yours. Very entertaining. Great details. Good job!

I tried the basic task, but didn't succeed. I realized I was dreaming in my house, and exited through the window. The houses in my neighborhood all looked dark and empty, and I thought that any one of them would probably work, but I saw a couple people on the end of the street, and decided to talk to them. I don't remember much about them, except that there was something odd about their eyes. I asked them if any of the houses around here were haunted, and they said yes, but offered to drive me to another one elsewhere, and the next thing I knew, we were driving away in a car. A few miles away I realized it would be unlikely for us to actually get somewhere before I woke up, and got out of the car, but it was too late, and the dream faded.
