Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of December 2007

Thanks Moonbeam

Hmm...well you got me thinking :p those shiny badges are calling my name but really, I think "Dream On" was a bit too strange to be my name...I don't know, gotta think t' over.

Any other staff have opinions? :-/

*not impersonating staff*

Really cool dream, bro! Why wouldn't "Dream on" be your name? It was obviously quite a negative dream - your subconcious was obviously screwing wit you. I think it's your name.

Even if it aint...seriously cool dream.

Congratz everyone else! Great dreams. Whooo!

Boogie!!!

Hahah H.S...so cheery! You made my day!

It was my initial reaction that told me it couldn't be...But it could very well be now that I think of it...I assume there's no requirement that it has to be a "normal" name to have accomplished the task.

So I did the average joe task last night. I was walking around this surreal park where all the colors were really blown out and fuzzy. I saw this girl, and I was like, "Dream character, whats my dream name?" And it was like I was hearing with my eyes. She was telling me my name, but it didn't make sense. It was the alphabet and some half-whale half-whatever creatures. I kept saying I didn't understand her, but then she looked at me like I was the one talking strangely. I got really scared, and felt like I wasn't supposed to be there, and woke myself up. It wasn't completely successful, but maybe my name isnt really a name, its a feeling. I think she said more things, but my dream recall really sucked this morning.

Hmm, that does sound pretty eerie AgentCoopersGirl...I've had that sensation before like you didn't belong there...something was wrong. As a matter of fact I experienced this in my attempt as well...I guess we just have to remember that we are the only ones in control.

Hope your recall gets a bit better.

I finally got the basic task done.

I'm on a staircase, and am lucid. I think I'm at nearby high school for some reason, and go up the staircase. I go through a door into my school's gym, only in the center of the center of the basketball court is that high school's symbol. I then remember the lucid task, and walk up to a guy sitting in the bleachers and ask him what my dream name is. He says something random, and then attacks me! The scene flashes for a moment, and I reappear a short distance away. I look at the center of the basketball court again, and notice that it now says the Misplaced Triangles, with a triangle for the image. Rather than try him again, I talk to the guy sitting a few feet away from him.
I ask him, 'What's my dream name?'
He says, 'Lunar 33.'
'Really?'
'Yup'
'Alright,' I say, feeling content that I managed a task.

Why in the world is that "33" in my dream name? What, was Lunar already taken, so my subconscious just added a random number to the end?

Congrats to all!

OK, the easy one first:

Good job, Lunar 33!

So, do you want "Dream On" to be your name or not?

Now what are we supposed to do with that? That is absolutely the weirdest one yet. Your name is half-alphabet and-half whale creature, heard with your eyes? How can I congratulate you?

Clairity! I need another opinion on this one! What do you say?

Yar, let's do it. "Dream On" is ironic and ever so witty from my SC. Sorry to be so changy.

EDIT: Thanks Moonbeam!

Well, let's see.. she did ASK a DC what her dream name was and the DC did REPLY that her dream name was "half alphabet, half whale creature which she heard with her eyes".. so technically she did complete the task!

So congratulations agentcoopersgirl!

So I did the advanced task on the first of the month, but I really wanted to do the basic task and see what sort of responses I could get. My subconscious, as usual, seemed oh-so-happy to oblige my simple request:

My dad passed me, and I greeted him. He didn't appear to be in a very good mood, but obviously I didn't care. "Dad!" I said as he stormed past, "What's my dream name?" He didn't say anything and continued on. "No, dad, wait. Please tell me." He goes, "Ugh, Lansley." I could barely hear him, so I asked him to repeat himself. He got a bit upset at that, and kept walking. I followed him, but didn't bring up my dream name again.

I'm going to ask other DC's in my next lucid, just for fun. But I'll accept "Lansley" for now.

aw, yay! First lucid task! I was pretty frustrated in the dream, because when she did speak actual sound, it was all mush. But all the things that came out of her mouth seemed to mean something. Even if it was some halvsy-whales.

that seems so interesting. i want to kno my dream name so badly now. i'll try to communicate with my DC's tonight instead of just showing off and proving im better than them.

Last night I finally did one of the tasks, and came close to the advanced one. It all started when I was dreaming that I was sitting in my living room watching T.V. alone. Suddenly some random DC walks through my sliding glass door. I stand up and say "That's impossible". My dad appears (like always) and is smling at me. He then starts laughing for a good thirty seconds, in which time I become lucid. So I look him in the eye and he says "very good. You are ready to continue without me, but I will always be here if you need me." or something along those lines. Immediately I started spinning in circles, ignoring my dad who continued to babble, to stay lucid. I finished spinning and was fully lucid, as conscious as ever, and I turned to the DC. I didn't recognize him at all. It was just then that I remembered both of the tasks of the month, and decided to try to complete the first one on him. So I ask him "What's my dream name?". He smiled at me, and said "Why don't you ask your dad?" then suddenly broke out in a sprint and ran away (random, I know...). So I turn to my dad, who is still smiling at me, and ask "What's my dream name?". He stops smiling, and says "Your dream name is "The Hand of Creation"." I asked what that meant, and he said "You'll find out eventually Justin (my name)". So anyways, I decided that was good enough and went to attempt the second task. I then realized that my dream name foreshadowed me creating snow and making it winter (so i hoped). Anyways, I fot outside in my front yard and tried to make snow. Nothing happened no matter how hard I willed snow to appear... So I became adventurous and decided to fly into the air. I then froze the clouds, and luckily it started snowing. I flew to the ground to try to make the temperature lower and mak the leaves fall off the trees, but before I reachd the ground I suddenly woke up......
I WAS SO CLOSE!!
Anyways, sorry for the long post but i thought the dream was interesting enough to put down.
thanks for reading and I have to say, this dream task was actually awesome. I like my dream name =D.
-Justin

Congratulations, Lansley! You did both this month, that's great.

Good job, The Hand of Creation! I guess your Dad-DC was thinking that you created their world, hence the important sounding name! You got really far with the advanced task too!

I did it!! yay, well at least one of them.

I was at the bottom of the staircase, i knew what i was dreaming, so i just stood there and thought about what i should do, i remembered the task of the month, so i went out side to a big backyard there were everal trees, including a plum tree right in front of me. So i stood there, closed my eyes and stretched my hands out , the wind blew pretty hard several times and it turned a lot colder, my hands felt weird like something flowing out of them, but when i opened my eyes(it was dark) i saw that there was no snow, so i gave up. then i walked over to two little chinese kids, they were playing in a blanket made tent, so i asked the one closest to me what my dream name was ( all the time thinking i'd most likely get a chinese sounding name) and she looked at me and said "wi san"-(pronounced we-son). then i asked her several times how to spell it but each time she told me i couldnt quite understand her since she said it so fast. So i didnt want to bother her anymore, so i walked away and walked around.

Another sucess, Wi San!

You almost got the advanced on too.

Do you know if that name really means anything in Chinese?

i'm trying to find out, but i havent yet. because dont know if thats how its spelled or that its even chinese, it could be some other oriental dialect

Thanks Moon Beam. Yeah I expect my dad-DC did mean it that way, since my dream world is created by me. Thanks for the outlook

OFFTOPIC:
Make the wings with transparent background - I see they are .gif, but they have white background and looks crappy. Eithar make em transparent, or fill the white colour with the colour of the Dream Views forum background.

I made the background transparent - if you'd like to use this gif, pls feel free...I'd also be glad to help out and make the wings for future lucid tasks transparent

-san is a general form of politeness in (googles) Japanese (ah, I thought so), Moonbeam-san. Vaguely like "Mr." but it comes after the name. Wi doesn't sound like a Japanese name though.

I completed the basic task, several times.

The first time, Friday night, I was in some sort of restaurant, and had been lucid for a while. I look and see my brother, and remember the basic task. I ask him what my dream name is, and he says, "Slegathor Sheen!", in a silly voice, with the sheen part sounding high pitched and almost metallic. Upon waking, I was disappointed that the response I got was basically nonsense, so I decided to try again until I got a somewhat sensible response.

Saturday night, after reentering a lucid dream for the second or third time that night, I found myself on a moving bus full of people, and remembered to try again. I then went around asking several people what my dream name is. The first two gave nonsense replies which I've forgotten, the bus driver refused to respond, a little girl said, "Santa!", and the last guy I asked replied, "No One". I decided that this response was good enough, and I left the bus by phasing through a window, while other people also left, out the door. Shortly after reaching the ground, I woke.

I don't think Slegathor Sheen is nonsense! I like it!

Congratulations, and for remembering to do it several times again.
