Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of December 2007

Mrs. Jones, you don't have a dream name for me to congratulate you by, so I'd say you have to try again.

Thanks Clairity, I'm flying with golden wings now

They look good on you!

I made two badges, I dont think the name one is very good, but the winter one is ok, its a tree, half winter half summer.

Can this be previous lucid dreams? Or do they have to be in december?

I did something similar to the advanced lucid task.

I was outside my house and I woke up underneath a tree. I looked around and did a reality check by trying to change the tree into snow. I looked at it and nothing happened so I turned around. I looked back at the tree and it was covered in snow. I then looked in my back yard and saw that all the other trees were covered in snow too. Soon after realizing I was dreaming I woke up...

This dream didn't happen this month...just so you know.

Sorry, slayer--it has to be this month. Keep trying!

You too, Mrs. Jones!

Hmm, thanks for the badges, sugarglider. Goldney was supposed to make them, maybe he changed his mind. Maybe we should just use yours since you got them made. Goldney can do it later if he wants to.

What does everyone think about that?

oh, sorry moonbeam, I could also make them a little better, but I like to keep them simple.

I did both in my ld last night(lucid parts in blue)

I was at school and i saw one of my friends who moved away so i knew it was a dream. I asked him what my dream name was and he said "Anita Bonghit" then i went outside and i just imagined that it was snowing and it started to and the leaves fell off the tree. Then i animated an army of snow men and had then attack a city before i was awakened by my alarm clock.

Hey!

Second LD and I did both tasks!!!

I found out my dream name, but not talking to a DC. Instead, I was saw a large house in front of me and I dint kno what to do. So I entered it and then I opened a drawer to find a black book. On which my dream name was written: palm owl :S

I also made it winter outside a red building with a lawn and a lake. it looked beautiful and the wind really felt cold so i had to conjure up a jacket and then it was better

I took a crack at the lucid tasks. I'm not sure I got the second one, and now I'm not sure I even got the first one either, because they told me my dream name first and then I had to ask them if it was my dream name and have them confirm it. But, I'm submitting it anyway, to see if I get credit for one or both tasks.

At last, after being "dry" for about a week, I stuck with the intention to LD and kept finger-moving for as long as I could after I woke up...a FILD attempt that led to either a WILD or a dream of entering a WILD (DILD-in-disguise). I can't remember if I imagined falling asleep in a car or simply came to full lucidity once I was riding in a back of the car. I shouted "Clarity!" or "Clarity Now!" a few times trying to get the scenery to stabilize, in any case. It may well have been a true WILD...my first without feeling SP vibrations.

Anyway, once I entered this dream, I tried to remember my lucid goals. I knew recently I was thinking of meeting children...but I remembered that one of the Tasks of the Month was the dream name. So I figured a good way to do that was to find out my dream name from children - kind of a melding of the Lucid Task and the personal goal.

So I eventually found a building with a big hallway/lobby where I ended up meeting a bunch of children, mostly girls, probably about 5-7 of them, ranging in ages from maybe 3 to preteen or early teen. So as not to intimidate the little ones, I sat down on the ground and tried to strike up a conversation with the kids. Soon the oldest one - the preteen/early teen - asked me, "Are you Aquacella?" (I spell it this way but the "c" was pronounced as an "s.") I told them that that was pretty much what I thought my dream name would be, except that it was Aquatella. So, wanting to make it "legal," I decided to ask them, "Is it my dream name?" The kids nodded or said yes or otherwise confirmed it.

I left the building and then tried to remember what else I was supposed to do. "Make winter, d'uh," I said aloud as I remembered. But first, I had to find a place where it wasn't winter, or at least not winter in the sense of cold and leafless and snowy like it is in Massachusetts. So I decided to go to Arizona.

I flew into the sky and landed somewhere in Arizona. But the first place I landed in had bare trees. So I needed to find another one. I found a nook nestled behind a building where there was at least one tree and at least one shrub, and any trees and shrubbery there had leaves on them. Good enough, I figured. There were a variety of people with me including relatives, friends, and random DCs that were supposed to be friends of the relatives and friends or something. I explained to my "audience" and reminded myself that winter consisted of 3 parts: leaflessness, cold, and snow. I gave my older sister a thermometer to place in the area to monitor the temperature changes. I figured I'd handle removing the leaves first. I tried to summon some wind to blow them off. It wasn't working at first, but eventually I heard some wind howling, and maybe felt something, and soon all the trees and shrubs in the nook were bare. Good...step 1 accomplished.

The next thing I wanted to do was make it snow. I tried waving my hands like a magician at the sky to cloud it up. That didn't work. There were some clouds in the sky, but not enough to snow - partly cloudy weather. I soon spotted some weird eyelike structure in some clouds off in the distance. I decided to fly up toward it to try to seed it into being suitable for snow and drag the clouds over the nook. I managed to pull some cloudiness over the nook, but no snow fell.

Soon, it started to seemingly spontaneously get cold. Temperatures fell to below zero. I could feel coldness in the air. My watch was now acting as a thermometer, giving digital temperature readouts of something like -15 or maybe even -21.5 at the coldest. My older sister, sitting across from me at a table, asked me how I could stand the cold. I told her it was because I was in a lucid dream. "A woman's lucid dream," she elaborated, implying that women have a hard time handling the cold and dream of being comfortable in it. (Folks, do not take this generalization as something my waking self actually believes is true!)

As the temperature had dropped, a thick frost managed to grow on things kind of like at the top of Mt. Washington or inside a freezer, so the trees and surroundings had the look of it having snowed. But I was thinking that it wasn't legally snow unless it had fallen. I decided to cheat by taking some frost off one of the thickly frosted surfaces, crumpling it up, and sprinkling it on things below my hands. Voila! Fallen snow. Sort of. I figured it was about as good as I'm gonna get in this dream. Things looked snowy, and I made some of the "snow" "fall" on something, albeit not from the sky. (Hence I think this may not count.)

Way to go, Anita Bonghit! I think you are the second Anita, so it's good that you got a last name so we will be able to tell you apart.

Good job, Palm Owl! That's one of the stranger names someone's gotten.

Congrats, Aquacella!

I think you did a good job on both tasks. I think cold, leaflessness and a heavy frost is winter!

Sugarglider--don't be sorry, I'm glad you made them. I think it is time to get some real badges, and you went to the trouble of making them, so thanks. Seeker is gone, I think--I'll see if pj will put them in, in place of the generic badges.

Wow! I never knew you get a badge like that! I mean I knew you do, but I didn't know you just GET it! hahahaha

Thank you moonbeam !!

OK, so I actually had 4 quick LDs this morning. They were so quick I was having trouble completing any tasks (thank my snooze for that...lol) However, finally in the last one (I'm posting the rest in the general forum), I'm in complete darkness and I'm hearing voices all around. It was as if everyone was communicating telepathically, so I said in my head, "what is my dream name?" A deep voice kept saying over and over Abednigo. I was thinking, Ok! Then, I thought, wait, Abednigo was in the fiery furnace with Jesus in that Bible story, is that right? So I concentrated really hard to actually see where I was. It was very hazy but it seemed as if I was in a deli or shoppe. Then I asked a woman and she whispers to the others (still seems everyone is telepathically talking) "she wants her dream name?" very sarcastically. Then the stupid snooze went off again but this time when I went to hit it to get back to dreaming I fell out of bed. So I finally woke up. So I don't know if that's my dream name or not.

W00T! Thanks. Just in time for the icon badges too. Kind of a lucky surprise for me.

Good job acctgirl69, on your all your LDs this morning!! I would think that should count, if you want it.

I love all the unusual dream names that keep showing up. I think we need to make the whole list of them at the end of the thread along with the list of people who finished each Task.

Edit: I think I have the advanced task badge. I should be the basic.

Twoshadows, I just sent a PM to get this corrected.

LOL, hi other Anita Congratulations on the completion of your task!
In the meanwhile, I had another lucid and attempted to change my name. It turned out that my DC's have a very bad memory I asked the same girl 3 times for my dreamname and she came up with a different name anytime (Sylvia, Judith and Joyce). So now I still don't know my 'real' dream name... Maybe ask a more reliable DC

Aw, everyone has such cool dream names. Even Moonbeam's. I think Tyler is a cute name.

I've had three separate lucid dreams where in I asked my dream name and I've yet to get a direct response. I think I will have to try a different approach. I want me a cool dream name too.

Thanks, TS! Looks like it did count...woohoo!!

I keep thinking the winter/summer one looks like a shield or coat of arms.

Ooh, dream tasks! I'll be sure to try one tonight.

By the way, last night, I had this dream. I don't remember it, but everyone seemed to be calling me "Zenus" or something. It wasn't lucid, but that's really all I remember. Does that mean I had found my dream name? I don't think I did, though.

That could be your dream name but it only counts as a task completion if you're "lucid" and a DC tells you your dream name.

Your DV name is so cool, vexy, I don' tthink a dream name can get cooler

Well thanks...but I really had some high hopes.

What are the DC's saying when you ask? That's a lot of lucids this month, anyway! You just have to get more demanding, I think.
