Lucid Task for the Month of December 2007

I had the best chanceall month to get the Dream-Name task done and I failed myself! Stupid me and making everything harder on myself....

The World's Crazy.. and So Am I-

It starts out in this odd hotel where nothing ever goes right. The people are weird, I can't ever find my room, no keys exist, and odd animals are partying about the place. I know for certain Maro-chan, Ken-ken, and Mae-Mae are there running amok.

I'm running from who knows what when it dawns on me.... "I'm dreaming." And so, with this low level knowledge... I try something new, all the while totally aware that there's an important Dream Task at hand... I start scripting out stuff for the things to do... And it works, but my dream quality is going down, so I stare down at my glowing hands for a bit.

Reassured with my abilities, I cut down semi-straight-down to business. I close my eyes and teleport out of the strange hotel. To a fabulous city/town with a blend of traditional Gothic Architecture and historical Spanish Architecture [with all the nice lively colors of then too]. I set out to find the person who can tell me my dream name... There were dozens of people I could ask, but I felt like asking not just anyone, but someone who I felt would know all... [Maybe I was subconsciously looking for my dream guide?]

Now, this is a low level lucid for clear reasons... I don't wise up and ask all the DCs I storm past, I don't summon up someone to tell me... I just search... Slowly losing lucidity as I find an extremely syncretic mix of the previous architectures plus Arabian style. I lose the last of my lucidity to make a path that will take me right into there and to the person... But, I wake up to the sun-rise before then.

Interesting... my place though, gave off a "typically me" city. My cities seem to have culture issues [as well as symbolic value], all my interests and stories mixed into one...

Maybe next lucid I'll finally get my name [hopefully in time for New Years]

:banana::banana::banana:

I did it. After the 4th try I finally got a response from a DC, who happened to be a baby bear.
In hindsight I think maybe the bear might have been hacking up a hair ball or something when it answered but it's good enough for me.

Taken from my DJ:

Out of the blue I asked, "What's my dream name, little bear?"

It didn't reply, continued playing. I wondered if it could even speak. Of course it can speak. If I want it to speak it will. So I asked again.

"What's my dream name? You can tell me. You can talk."

The little bear continued to play but it started making odd little noises that came from deep within it's chest. Eventually it barked out something that sounded like "hoe day" I asked it what my name was again and it barked out the same word, this time a little clearer. I thought about it, said the word a few times so I wouldn't forget it

and further down the dream was this:

I opened my eyes and looked across the room. A very beautiful woman stood naked, her skin was a gorgeous almost golden brown colour. She had long straight jet black hair and seemed to be perfection in human form. She smiled and tilted her head a bit then said, "Sparrow Woman."

I wasn't sure if she was introducing herself or if she was telling me my dream name.

Hoe Day or Sparrow Woman.
Both are odd.

Cloud--good job on the advanced task, very nice. :) I could swear I already posted that...must have been a dream.:?

Eminence--impressive. I still can't even imagine doing that task. Probably why I won't be able to do it.

And congratulations to:

Hand Hardman! :lol:

Joe Blue! (Cool name.)

and...last but not least...Hoe Day Sparrow Woman! :woohoo:

Lucidbulbs and italianmonkey--keep trying! There's a couple days left yet!

LOL @ hacking up a hair ball! :D

I haven't even attempted this month's task.. but I'll be back on track for next months'!

Congratulations to everyone so far! :boogie:

Thanks Clairty and Moonbeam.
:smitten:
I still think Tyler is a cute name. Much cuter than Hoe Day. :P
And I'd love to find out Clairity's dream name. Bet it's something sexy. :ohyahbaby:

I was maniacally trying to complete this task because my DCs more often than not like to mess with me. I think I was trying too hard because I couldn't nail it. The night I did get it I was sick and tired and all I wanted to do was sleep, not thoughts of the task at all. So glad I got this one done.

Now to become Storm in a lucid dream and mess with the weather.
:D

Ok so this is how it goes. I was finally really lucid for a long time and in this dream I thought of what I could do. So I ended up seeing a little either dead dog or stuffed animal and I just thought of bringing it back to life so I ended up making it get up and walk. Then I was thinking about tasks of the month and then I thought of the one from a while back about turning yourself into a member of the opposite sex and I did that but ended up becoming all deformed and ended up with n extra toe popping out and I was in a dress. Anyways after that I had a false akwakening I guess but I was just like "Screw that I was about to find out my dream name" so I lied my head down and went back into a dream and I was in the street looking for someone nearby and I couldn't find anyone but I decided to go into the nearest shop and inside were three people. A man selling bakery stuff and a guy buying and an old Mexican lady behind him and she was the closest so I said nicely "Excuse me, What is my name?" and she just replied LAFRIDIS and I woke up right after that and I'm not sure but after she said Lafridis she told me "Laheim" and I'm not sure if that was a last name or she was just cut off becuase I woke up. So that's my dream name. =]

:banana:LAFRIDIS witht he possible last name Laheim.:banana:

All right, you'll get to wear your badge for a few days (hopefully you'll get it soon)!

Congratulations, LAFRIDIS with the possible last name Laheim!!

I had a super long LD last week, I haven't posted it yet because of the holidays. But I did do the Make it Winter TOTM.

Here is the whole dream (I don't like to break them up), so you can skip down to the "Make it Winter" part that its highlighted.

Here is the long one from 12-22-07:

I was in my church. I remember thinking, if I'm lucid I'll be able to fly. And at that I took off in a float/fly over the heads of the people around me. I flew around for a little while noticing that I was flying swimming style again.

I then saw Kyle. And the first thing that came to mind was the DC interrogation taskthat I am kind of doing in private so I'm not going to give details about what I asked. But I suppose I can give the answers because my DC was being uncooporative in answering those specific questions.

After I asked the questions and Kyle looking at me like I was asking something that was forbidden to ask. He then finally said, "If you are looking for some secret answers, I'll tell you this: It will happen....in Asia....on midnight of December 31."

I repeated that in my mind because I felt it might be significant.

I don't remember the transition, but I next remember being outside by a house. I remember wanting to jump off the top of the roof. I ran up (I seem to remember a ramp), then when I got the the peak, I decided to let myself fall off backwards. There seems to be a thrill in that. Since I fly so much, it's nice to find something that is a little different and thrilling.

As often happens when I fall backward, I feel a falling sensation, yet I don't hit the ground when I think I should, and after a while I just stand up and realize that the ground is right there.

I remember doing that several times. Then I remember thinking, "I really should be trying to accomplish a task. I remember that I haven't done the Make it Winter" Task of the Month of December.

I walk into a courtyard. There is green grass and some hibiscus shrubs. Before I even have to put out any effort, it begins to snow. I think, "Wow, that was easy." The I remember that I need to do more than make it snow. I realize that even though it is snowing, it is not cold. The next thing I know I feel an icy cold wind sweep around me and through the leaves of the hibiscus. I think, "Maybe I should make the leaves fall off the hibiscus." But for some reason, I just think, "Naw, they'll fall off on their own in this weather." The last thing I notice is the snow starting to pile up in places on the grass.

I then go in the house. I see that I am in a kitchen. I remember someone sugegested that we make a recipe and try it out as a possible future task of the month. I look around for thing to put together in a recipe. The only food I see int he kitchen is a large bowl filled with cake cut up in squares, grapes, and M&Ms. I think, "That will be my recipe--I'll put a piece of each one in my mouth and see what it tastes like. So I grab a handful and stuff it into my mouth. I realize that the cake doens't have much flavor. I'm disappointed. The grapes takes like sour-ish grapes, but not strong. Then I bit into an M&M, and a burst of chocolate flavor fills my mouth. I grabbed another handful of M&Ms and took them with me as I run back up to the roof, so I can fall backwards off it again before my LD comes to an end.

As I am climbing to the top of the roof, I am thinking about how real the M&Ms taste, and how weird that is becasue I know that I'm dreaming and that there are no M&Ms, yet the sensation is so completely real, and how my brain must be using an old memory of myself eating M&Ms to make this so real for me again. I actually wonder at this moment what is exactly going on in my brain at this moment.

Then I reach the roof top and fall off backward again. Instead of floating down for a fairly long period of time. I fall quite quickly and feel a slight thud and my back hits the ground. I think, "At least that didn't hurt".

I decide I should really try something else if my LD was going to go on this long. So I decided that I wnted to find a DC to ask about my future. I have never had any luck in the past and I decided that I should try again. I walk back in the house and see Daniel standing by the stairs. I decide to ask him something quite specific, so I ask him where I will be in ten years. He looks at me and said, "You'll be living in a tent in the mountains." I am intrigued by his answer and start to question him about it. But before I can get too far, I finally wake up.

Here is an excerpt from my dream "The Dumb Waitress and Winter Wonderland":

"It was still dark, and I felt really tired still. So I went back to sleep, and as soon as I entered a dream, I decided to take out the advanced task of the month.
I looked around. I was in a field, near a forest, and the leaves were already off of the trees. I made it colder, and then made it snow.
It was very easy, because I was in control of the dream from the beginning. The snow was acumlulating, and I reasoned that it was a good amount of winteryness."

-VF

Haha. I'm having a great time reading everyone else's post. I succeeded in the first task, and I guess I was close to the advanced one.

Here it is, thye entire dream took around maybe 20 mins:

The dream started in a kind of blurry state. I was sitting in my room. Normally I have to of my younger brothers sleeping onthe other side of the room. THis time, it was two random dudes, like it was a dorm. This was the thing that made me lucid.

Like all the other times I become lucid, I get really, really happy. I have a kind of ability to imprint tasks into my subconsciousbfore I dream. I have to REALLY, REALLY want it though. Such as flying. When I first wanted to lucid, the main reason was flying. I wanted it so bad that it became in impulse. Everytime I was even a little bit lucid, I start jumping around. This time, the thing I wanted to do was shoot fireballs and such. (Fun...) So I shot up out of my bed and fireballs went every where.

"Weeeeeeeeeeeee!"

I obliterated the bunk bed in which my "roommates" were sleeping on. It kinda just blew up. It was in small charred pieces,and I had reduced most of it to ash. I had apparently killed one of them, the other sat on a larger piece or wreckage.

Normally the state of his body would have grossed me out. It was burnt and there wounds...and blood..and....egh. Then I went all movie-like. I picked him up by the collar (It was fused to his collar bone. ERK) and screamed at him.

"WHO'S YO DADDAY?"

He whimpered and said, "You...".

"AN WATS MAH NAME?!"

"Lil' Cheesy"

"THATS RIGHTE"

I hadn't meant to ask for my name but it made me remember the monthly tasks. I struggled to remember what it was though. I remebered it included changing so the world was in a certain kind of season. I couldn't remember what it was though. I stepped out side and it was snowing. (Even though I'm in Hong Kong) So I decided to try all of them.

First spring, it was fairly easy. I just thought of a normal day with a breeze.

Summer again was easy, just made it a bit hotter. In Hong Kong, almost everyday is summer and spring.

Then fall. I thought of red's and yellows. And set everything on fire...

So I tried winter, and I only succeeded in making everything black and white and cold. It looked like a normal day. No snow, but black and white. And cold.


After I woke up, around maybe an hour later I checked DV. I smacked myself in the fore head. Well at least I did the first one...

(After I woke up, I laughed at the name for a full 30 seconds.)

I did the basic task without knowing it was the TOTM :P I read it on someone's post and decided to give it a try that night. I was cruising down the highway in this weird car with the roof cut off and 4 bikes attached to the back. Me and my friend were swirving around and almost crashed a few times. We made it to some sort of station, maybe a subway station, and i just out of nowhere realized I was dreaming :) Immediately I turned around from where I was sitting in the middle of the station and my dad was there so I asked him what my dream name was. He answered something weird at first like mumbling so I asked him again. This time he said my dream name was Papi-mami ... kind of a weird name haha. So that's my story :D

I laughed pretty hard when I read this haha

Congratulations, Lil Cheesy! and Papi-mami!

This is one of the best tasks ever, these names are all so funny! :laughhard:

Two Shadows, that is are a really cool dream. We'll have to see if anything happens on Dec 31st. I love the recipe part--eating chocolate, a favorite dream activity of mine too.

The tent in the mountains thing is kind of weird....that could be good or bad, depending on the circumstances.

ahh i wish i knew what you were talking about but my post hasn't been seen yet by a mod so i haven't been granted entry to see what bext month's task is :embarrassed:

We seem to be running a little slow this month. I think it's the holidays.

Anyway, you aren't missing anything because next month's task hasn't been decided yet. We are all waiting anxiously...

Sorry gang, does anyone need a badge? I've got a little time today.

If I ever complete the name task, I will probably use it in my signature from now on.

I think we're caught up on badges, Seek.

Just need the tasks for January. We've got a volunteer to make the badges too.

This is my first lucid without waking up right after, so here it is..


So my dream starts out in a video game, its 2D. I dont see nothing but this game. I am a chipmunk or something racing this other animal to get to the finish. I then realize I'm not a chipmunk in real life Bam!:) I'm in a dream! To my amazement I dont wake up right away like past experiences. So I think, hmm, Im going to make my charcter fart his way to the end. My chipmunk character guy jumps, farts and speeds across the level. About halfway through the level I decide to fly, I get up in the air, fly really fast and somehow the other guy wins, huh figures.




So now i'm out of the game, dont know how it happened but i'm myself now. I see one of my reletives leaving the house that i'm in with this other guy i've never seen before. So I go up to my reletive and ask "whats my dream name" (remembering its decembers task). She replys with "I dont know", Desperate to know I follow them out to the parking lot asking the other guy "whats my dream name" he says he doesent know. They then get to this green truck and he unlocks the door, hes about to open it when I look at the door and point my finger tword it and say "LOCK!" to make it lock again so he can't open it, it didnt work and he opened it.... Anyway I bug him further on whats my dream name intill he says "Spener.....no, Its AJ" (these are the names of some guys in my school, coincidence?)

He is now inside the car trying to shut the door, I hold it back asking, "Whats AJ stand for?" He says he doesent know, so I bug him more :P. I then wake up without an answer.



P.S., Am I still able to have the orange in my name?

It may be 30th, but I did my first Task of the Month.
It was my longest lucid so far, and it was this way, because i played by the dream's rules. After doing some stuff I decided I will ask someone something, so I get to some dc's that were important to the dream (I was with them for the whole dream) and I start explaining that they are a project of my imagination and so on, they acted as I told em they are dying, but they understood me, and took the idea, even one of the guys, which was thinking that is smarter than me, after understanding that I made him, start thinking about me as a smarter guy. So I asked some girl, which was there and was quiet "Whats my dream name", she was like "What", and me "My dream name", so she start thinking or something and told me "Unite and Divide". I thought that is pretty cool since it was long dream (not so long in the fully lucid part), said thanx, went in another room to f*ck her, and the dream ended. I hate how in every dream I only think about f*cking, and cant do some real stuff.

Had an interesting night, I was on the border of sleep and wakefulness all night, except for an epic 45 minute non lucid dream in which China was invading through the garden section at the local Home Depot :holyshit:

Anyway, I was WILDing this morning sometime around 7:30. During a moment of strong HI, I was in a dreamscape in which I was let to a public restroom. I was directed to read something written on the wall, what was there was "Apfei". The HI stopped at that point and I woke back up

I was barely lucid, and only so for about 5 seconds, so I'm not going to count this one.

That's funny. :rolllaugh:

Non-lucid dreams can often be just be as entertaining as lucid ones, especially the really vivid ones.

Thanks for sharing that one.

Yeah, I had thought of that as well, probably our time in chat the other day.

Ah well, one more night to try this month....
