Completed Advanced Lucid Task
After becoming lucid in my dream I find myself flying above some trees at which time I decide I would like to complete the Advanced Lucid Task of changing myself into the opposite gender and finding out what it feels like to be that gender.
The only way I can think to complete this task is to find a female and then try to merge my spirit with her body in order to try and feel what she is feeling like.
I then see a remote village with grass huts below me, so fly down to get a closer look at the huts.
After flying past several huts I come to one in which the door is open, so I fly into that hut.
The hut I enter is a kitchen with stoves and other appliances in it.
I then find my spirit inside the body of an older woman who is baking what appears to be chocolate chip cookies.
As I take the cookies out of the oven I notice that they are very large cookies, about 12 inches in diameter.
Just then some children come into the hut through the door, and I give them all some cookies.
I feel very content, fulfilled, and satisfied with myself for providing cookies for the children in my village.
I'm finding the easiest way to complete most of these tasks is just to think about the task I want to complete after becoming lucid, and then just follow where the dream takes me. Because the task almost never gets completed the way I would have expected it to.
I Did The Advanced Task!!!
First I'd like to say that this is my first post, and this morning was also my first genuine attempt at having a LD consciously, rather than winding up having a DILD. I've had LDs since I was about 14, but almost never intentionally.
I was up late working on a paper [even though today happens to be a BIG rival college football game and I should have been out celebrating] and ended up not falling asleep until 6 AM. A little while before I went to bed, I checked on here for the monthly tasks, thought about it a little bit, and eventually went to sleep.
I usually have really weird dreams, and had I not been so exhausted, I would have written this one down when I first woke up from it... hence the blurriness of details.
I have no idea how it came about, but it has some fictional reference that I can't figure at this point... I was staring out my window across campus and saw a number of people standing on a roof with a beam of light reaching from them and up to the sky. I mentioned to my friend that I knew what they were and I got extremely excited that these "supreme" people actually existed. [I think I made some reference to the movie Night Watch, a Russian film that I loved] Anyway, I can't remember how I got in the situation, but at one point I realized that I was one of them, and I became their leader. The science fiction-ness of my dreams is simply out of control :P Some opposing group found out we were there and came after us. During one specific instance of being chased, I woke up very briefly and realized that I was having a really fun dream, and since I had already been flying, I might as well make things more interesting. After a few seconds, I let myself drift back into sleep, thinking about how I could turn myself from a woman to a man. Back in the dream, I turned to one of my cohorts, told her that since they were looking for me, they would never suspect to look for me in a man's body. So I focused all of my energy, and morphed myself into a man. Those looking for me were oblivious to the change and saw me merely as a passer-by. I didn't feel any different, as it was merely my appearance that had changed. But, since I'm constantly being chased in my dreams (and almost never getting caught), it was the perfect solution to evading my capture. Not to mention, this was one of the most fun dreams I've had in quite awhile.
In the LD, I remember thinking to myself "YES! I did it on my first try!" :boogie: ... and later I tried to find some way of incorporating a turkey into things, but I simply couldn't do it... that and I couldn't remember what in the world I was supposed to ask the dumb thing.
non lucid task-of-the-month-dream
@Clairity: great dream, it really made me laugh :D
I also had a dream about gender-switching, but unfortunately, not lucid :(
It was funny by the way, me trying to become a man. There was a 'gender-changing-competition' going on and many people were succesfull at it. I even saw a woman with vampire teeth who changed into a tall, handsome man. I didn't get any further than looking for male clothing. Not wanting to cut my hair for the competition, I hid it under a baseball cap. So, no change of sex for me, I was just a girl in men's clothing ;)
Now why didn't I think of that lol
I've never thought of carrying on a conversation with an animal. At least sober anyway LOL.
Changing genders might be interesting as well. At least I wouldn't have to worry about getting my as@ kicked by some back woods rednecks (another LOL). Do I get a bonus set of wings if I can control the cup size *grin*?
I'll let y'all know if I have any luck.
Did both tasks this morning:
Alright, I got it typed up in my DJ.
Here's the relevant portions:
Gender bender -

But first, the lucid tasks of the month. I've been thinking about them today; now's my chance. I stand up and leave the room in search of a mirror. I find the bathroom and stand in front of the mirror. The mirror is nice and wide but, I can only see down to my belly.
In hopes of transforming into a female (task, not true-life desire ;) ) I simply wish to be a female. I notice my face becoming slightly out of focus and a grainy "old film" effect overlaps my facial features. I see that I now have ragged blonde hair and my features are much more feminine. I look away and back again. The facial transformation is even more solid and clear.
I gaze down at the reflection of my chest (I somehow have my shirt off now) and watch as a pair of breasts emerge. The breasts are very round (like implants) and only grow to maybe an A-cup. I have no idea what the nipple color is; I don't notice. So I am now bearing breast and my face is stable and very feminine. I don't look too bad at all! Well, the fake tits are kind of a turn-off. I like mine to look more natural :mrgreen:
'Talking turkey to a non-talking turkey' -
Quote:
I remember the turkey task. I just know I'll find a turkey and - as I round the garage area - there stands two turkeys: one gray, one brown. The gray turkey is nearest me so I ask it what it thinks of Thanksgiving. In true turkey fashion, it gives me a puzzled look like "What the hell are you talking about?" as it tilts its head to the side. The turkeys continue walking past me and I question the second one. "What do you think of Thanksgiving?", I interrogate. Not surprisingly, I'm given the same puzzled non-response.
Completed Basic Lucid Task
I find myself starting to get dream images but am having difficulty getting the dream to continue until I find myself rolling over and over.
At first I feel like I am going to roll out of my bed, but as I continue to roll over and over again I realize that I am just rolling in my imagination.
I soon roll out into a lucid dream where I find myself flying through the air still rolling around and around as I fly.
When I concentrate on completing the basic lucid task of asking a turkey what it thinks of Thanksgiving I find myself laying out in a field unable to move.
An animal approaches me and climbs on top of me. It is a small puppy and it starts licking my face. I then find I can move my arms so I pet it while it continues licking me.
Once again I concentrate on finding a turkey, and in the distance see some farm animals which I am sucked right over to.
A very small turkey appears before me which is only 2 inches tall. Really a cute little guy.
When I ask him what he thinks of Thanksgiving he starts rattling off a bunch of things I am unable to understand.
As I concentate on what he is saying I hear him say "Say hi to Harvey", and "Say hi to Louie for me".
As I start walking off of the farm I see someone coming out of a door of a farm house to ask me what I am doing on their farm.
Seeing this, I start running and take off flying into the air like Superman.
I find myself flying very high in the air admiring the scenery below.
