Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of January 2008

I should warn you, this is probably going to be long!

I fell out of the sky and hit the ground hard. I got up and looked around. There were massive amount of greenery and forest around, as well as several large wooden building but seemingly no houses, and a huge stone castle in the far distance. I walked over to the building which had Inn written on it in huge letters above the door. Inside was a man behind the bar, a woman leaning against the bar, and some kind of creature sitting beside the bar. I asked the barman where I was, and the woman said that I knew where I was. I told her I had no clue, and she said something in gibberish. I closed my eyes and scanned the entire dreamscape, I discovered I was somewhere else, not on Earth. I stepped outside the pub and looked around. I saw something black falling through the sky, and a few seconds later a girl in a black lace dress hit the floor. I put my hand out and helped her up. I looked at her and scanned her, she was a DC, so I asked her what her name was. She smiled and said her name was Rose and that she had no idea where she was. I asked her if she was human and she nodded. I told her that we weren't on Earth any more. I suddenly realised that I had the powers to do magic. I turned my hands into fire. Rose asked me how I could do that, and I told her that it came naturally to me. I began to teach her how to make fire from her hands. We spent a long time experimenting with our new powers, and doing new things. My alarm clock went off, and I was beginning to wake up but Rose grabbed my clothes and told me not to leave her. I told her that I had to wake up and do things. She told me she had no choice and fired a bolt of lightning into me. When I woke up I was still in the dream. My alarm went off again, and I told Rose not to do anything to stop me. I woke up and turned my alarm off, and went back to sleep. I went back to the same dream, and Rose was there waiting for me. We spent more time together practising our magic until I was shouted at to wake up, which I did.

Again, sorry if this was too long.

A Lucid Dream
Monday/January/14/2008
Lucid Dream # 2 of 2008
Deceased father dreamsign noticed
Reality check induced Lucidty
Basic Lucid Task Completed

I'm riding through the city on this red and white, crotch-rocket motorcycle. It's a pretty long and fun dream, racing around and this powerful bike. I'm pulling wheelies and driving crazy through traffic. All the while watching out for cops.

Eventually I pull into the parking lot of this place. I'm not sure what it is. At one point I think it's an Auto body shop. But, then I get the feeling later, that it's a restaurant. My brother is there. And I see my dad walking across the parking lot also. (who had died not all that long ago) He is wearing his goofy farmer overalls, and funny looking cap. He even has a handkerchief hanging out of his back pocket. I'm a little confused, because I
think my dad is dead. And I'm wondering how he can be here. I start thinking, that I must have been mistaken. And that, he had not died after all.

I think about how good it is to see him again. But, then he almost gets hit by a car, and I see him fall over. I'm thinking, great, just when I find out my dad isn't really dead, he is going to be killed by a car. But he gets up and is ok. I start racing around the parking lot on my motorcycle. And I start riding wheelies around the building that is there, trying to show off.

After a couple of times around the building, I start thinking about my dad again. I'm confused, because I'm sure that he had died before. Then I think, maybe he is here because this is a dream. So I pinch my nose and I can breath!Lucidity washes over me. But I'm shocked, and having a hard time believing it completely. So I keep pinching my nose, and I can breath every time. I dump the motor cycle. There is a guy and a girl standing by the front door, of what I'm now thinking of as a restaurant. My Lucidity is still a bit shaky. I'm still a little doubtful. I mention to the two that I think this is a dream. The girl says, "yes this is a dream ,I know it is." I then say, "well if this is a dream, I can get away with doing this." I reach down and give her rear end I nice squeeze. She jumps back and says. "Hey stop that! I'm not a part of your dream! I'm a real person."

Now, I'm starting to doubt if this is a dream again. this is just to real. When I squeezed the girl she felt completely real. Even the feeling of her clothing on my hand felt as real as real can be. I pinch my nose and I can breath still. I keep doing it. I'm not sure if I'm getting my nose pinched right. I enter the building, and I'm in a corridor filled with people. My brother is there as well. I'm still pinching my nose trying to prove to myself it's a dream. But it's as if my nostrils are too big to pinch closed completely. I am pretty sure it's a dream. But I want more proof, because I can remember the last Lucid I lost, because I didn't believe the nose RC. I don't want it to happen again. I start thinking, what other kind of RC can I do in combination to confirm it.

I think about trying a back flip off the wall, or trying to jump into the air and float. Then I remember the putting your finger through your hand RC. I've never done it before. So I decide to try it. I push my finger into my palm. It feels pretty solid, but I keep pushing hard and turning my finger trying to drill it into my hand. My finger begins sinking slowly into my palm. Perfect, No more doubts, I'm dreaming for sure. I tell a couple other people to do reality checks. And I tell my brother it's a dream.

Then I remember both Pj's task, and the Lucid Task of the month. I want to do Pj's Task. But, I feel I have time to do both tasks. they are pretty simple questions. I ask my brother What he thinks my new years resolution should be? He asks, "what difference does that make? What the hell kind of question is that.? I begin explaining to him about dream views. And that it's just a task they set to do in a dream. Even as I'm explaining it I realize, there is really no point to explain. But I wake up as I'm doing so.

Comments
I noticed that other people have completed the task without getting an answer. So I guess I completed it too.

There was a little more interaction with the DC's that I didn't describe nothing really important. But I was fascinated by there responses. Because a lot of people seem to be having problems with DC's. My DC's reactions to me were very realistic. And they seemed intelligent enough. It was one of the things making me question if I was really dreaming.

Oy gevalt! The more I read, the more I realize the SN "dream master" was totally wrong for me to choose. I'm new to this site, and the prospect of thinking to do this stuff in an LD seems daunting all on it's own. The main thing I'm pre-occupied with in all my LD's is to destroy as much stuff as I can, but mostly to find a girl to have sex with. That's always the number one thing on my mind. It's because my LD's are irritatingly short and I feel all rushed to enjoy the dream as quickly as I can because of this. I should have picked. "Dream Enjoyer" as my name...

Sex = do in real world.
fun = dreaming.

Sex is much better in the real world. And easier to attain in my opinion.
Fun = can't blow stuff up in the real world without being "woke up" by reality and the law doesn't like it much.

I wanted to just post that I nailed the basic task. I was in an office that I worked in about 5 or 6 years ago. I was very aware, so I grabbed someone and asked them what my dream name was. They told me to stop being ridiculous and to do some work. I grabbed him, picked him up and slammed him against the window and asked him what my dream name was. He said Derek and laughed, so I threw him onto a desk. He smashed into a few computers and struggled to his feet. He asked me what I was doing. I asked him what my dream name was again. He took a deep breath and looked at his feet and said Jack. I told him that was just my nickname in the real world, and he said it was my dream name too.

I have been really laid back about getting the tasks done so far this month, but I am going to really try for it tonight!

I don't know....really haven't been thinking about the task or getting lucid...things just have been really out of wack, but when I woke up really early last night after dreaming I knew it was my chance to try.


I kept slipping in and out of this dream what I really cant remember, but i was saying "hell I might as well do the task of the month the next time I'm in" I'm all of a sudden in some strange kind of SP...like some presence is there and instead of staying calm or waking up. I fly horizontally out of my bed. I don't know how fast I'm going, but I feel myself phasing and bursting through several walls. When I look up, I'm in my front yard, and the sky starts turning black. I lay down and close my eyes, and think of my best friends house. Instead of taking me there...I'm now what seems to be my back yard. Theres a wolf with piercing blue eyes lying on the ground 20 feet from where I am. I walk up to it and ask. "What should my new years resolution be"? It growls in a way that I know it didn't hear me. So I say the same thing. It growls again...I'm guessing it said the answer that time. It was a different tone, and the length of the growl was longer. But who knows....As I start walking off, I hear someone in my headset (don't know where it came from) saying "hey did you get that?". "What?" I asked. "Did you get my answer?" it said...."um...yeah" I replied.

Without thinking twice I told myself that I really needed to find a human. So I thought about my friend D and he showed up when I started going to this bathroom, and he said. "Well you know, you should get that master card you keep talking about, so you can get things done". After I asked him.

Ah, but sex with movie stars, that's something that can't be done in the real world.

WOO! I can’t believe it, but I completed the first task!!! I was so happy I remembered to do it in the dream! However, I didn’t read the other two tasks carefully, so up to this point I thought it was to just go to a planet, and then turn into an animal. Not go to a planet OUTSIDE our solar system and turn into an animal you find there…. But, I guess it was a good first try, and also the very first time ever that I’ve done a pre-planned task of any kind from the real world (like I said before, all my tasks in LD’s are the same: have sex and wreck stuff). I warn you… The very end of the last dream gets sort of graphic and sexually weird…. So, on to the first dream:




I seem to remember being at a mall. I was holding the family cat – a cute fluffy calico kitten. I was walking through the mall with her. The mall was gigantic! There were five or six levels, and there were stairs everywhere. I passed by some girl, and she gave me a dirty look. I guessed it was because I was holding the kitty. I came across my mom and sister who were also at the mall, and I think one of them took the kitten from me. The next thing I remember was being in a very small room inside the mall. It was narrow, with not much space in it for anything. It was empty except for one long table that was nearly too long and big for the room. There wasn’t really any room left with it in there. There was an actor there. He was the black guy who was in Wrath of Khan and got infected with that ear parasite thing with Chekov. He was much older now, and had sort of poofy white/grey hair and a beard.

I was laying underneath the table in the room. I was making it float in the air, and was somehow able to make it transform. I willed it to fold up and turned it into a kind of chair that they have at the dentist. The actor guy told me that I knew that isn’t what the table is supposed to look like. So I obliged him by making the table float in the air again and turned it back to normal. After I had set it back down on the ground (I was still laying on the floor under the table), I noticed that there was some real thin, strung out looking guy right by me. He was laying in a little nook in the wall, a few inches above me. He said to the actor something like “He’s evil! He doesn’t belong here…” I got the feeling both of the men feared me greatly.

I said to the strung out guy, “of course I belong here”. At this, I floated up from the floor and over the table. I could feel my feet drag on it as I moved. I was feeling all powerful at this point. I was floating high in the air of the mall. I was listening to my iPod playing some Ozzy Osbourne song called “King of the Mountain” (it wasn’t Over the Mountain, because it sounded totally different. A song I’ve never heard before). I got the idea to project the music with my mind into the minds of everyone at the mall. There were tons of people everywhere. As I willed the music to play, everyone got all startled and looked around. I was invisible to them, I guess, because it didn’t seem like they saw me.

I came upon a section of the mall where there was an exit to the parking lot. I set down on the ground, and saw some extremely attractive girl walking out the door. There was a set of probably six doors, all glass but covered. She exited the far right door. There were some concrete steps that led up to the exit. The girl was beautiful. She had short black hair, that went a little below her jaw line, with a very neat dye job. It faded from black to red. She wore black rimmed glasses and was very arty in her clothing style. I seem to remember she was wearing a long black velvet trench coat. She had pale skin and wore red lipstick that was the perfect color. Not too red, and very nice on her. I was out of my mind with lust and thought that I could have sex with her.

And with that thought I realized I was dreaming. Overjoyed, I thought “OH!!! YES! YEEESSSS!!! Okay, okay…damnit! what was that task again!?! OH YEAH!!!” Concentrating hard to maintain the lucidity of the dream, I ripped out the earbuds ( I had still been listening to the iPod up to this point) and ran up the concrete steps after the girl.



I saw that she was down the parking lot a little way, headed for another door. I walked quickly after her, finally catching up to her. I asked her, “Wh-what should my new years resolution be??” She said something that I didn’t understand. So I asked her to repeat it, and repeated my own question just to be sure. I put my ear close to her mouth. She spoke in a sort of quiet, husky tone that tickled my ear and sent a very pleasant shiver down my spine. Her answer was: “Um… No fun, ever?” She smiled and walked away as she gave her response. Perplexed, and annoyed from the nonsensical answer, I turned and asked another girl who was approaching from behind me. This girl was shorter and much less attractive than the other. She had somewhat of a bad complexion and had long dirty blond hair. She wore a white t-shirt. I asked her the question, and her response was even more baffling than the first girls’. Her answer was, “That my (my, as in referring to herself) foot would get a heiny snuggle.” She said this in a cute sort of, “awww” kind of way. Right when I got her answer, I woke up and frantically wrote the two answers down. There’s no way I would have remembered that last one if I hadn’t!

I thought about the two answers for a bit. I had really been hoping they’d have been more profound, or at least make sense…”that my foot would get a heiny snuggle”??? And “no fun ever”… What’s that supposed to mean?? So, my new years resolution I guess, is to not have any fun this year, and snuggle a girl’s foot with my buttocks???

After this dream, I got up and used the bathroom, and drank some water before going back to sleep. I was kind of disappointed at the odd resolutions I received, but so very excited I had actually done the task. I tossed and turned for awhile, focused on the other tasks. And I finally fell back asleep. However….

This was kind of confusing. I don’t know if I had an actual lucid dream, or if it was just a dream that I was having a lucid dream. I was in and out of lucidity so many times it was hard to tell. Not only that, but I can’t really remember all that much of what I dreamt.

Okay, so I think I remember it starting out thinking I woke up in my bedroom, but right away knowing it was a dream. I had the tasks fresh in my mind, as I was stoked about completing the first task. I decided before I went to sleep again that I wanted to go to Venus for the planet visit. I chose Venus because, well, “women are from Venus”. I thought I could kill two birds with one stone; visit a planet AND have sex while there.

I used to do this neat thing in dreams I haven’t thought about it a long time, or done in a long time in my dreams. Before I went back to sleep I also planned in advance that I would summon up a 4th dimensional door that would lead to wherever I wanted it to. I planned to go to Venus and Jupiter.

So, the dream begins. I get all excited and get up out of bed (I don’t know how I knew I was dreaming…. I was wearing that siesta mask to block the sunlight, so maybe not having it on suddenly, clued me in. It’s happened before. I stood in the middle of the floor at the foot of my bed, and said, “VENUS!!!” while at the same time whooshing both my arms up in the air to summon the door. Something sort of happened, but no full door appeared. I concentrated harder and repeated myself. Now a large open door appeared before me. I walked through it…. But for the love of god, can’t remember what happened!!!

Maybe the dream shifted or something, because everything is all jumbled. I know I didn’t go to Venus. I vaguely remember something about being near some area in the city where there’s heavy traffic…? The next thing I remember is being frustrated it didn’t work. I remember that now my dad was present. Just sort of in the area, but I didn’t talk to him. I forgot about trying Jupiter next, and tried Mars instead. This is the part of the dream I remember most.

I summoned the door again, but now I got a false dream memory addition to the task. I thought I had to bring someone with me. In the dream I thought I had a son? A baby? The baby was very independent and didn’t even need me to carry him to get around. So anyhoo, I summon the door and walk through it onto “Mars”. The planet was nothing more than a large squishy, half deflated play-type thing in some large open lot near a busy intersection. I was so irritated that I was still on “Earth”. The baby was with me, but it was more like a tiny animal of some kind. Some shriveled up little…thing that had to crawl around. I struggled to walk around on the squishy deflated orb. It was fairly large in size, and red. There were deep crevasses all in it that was supposed to resemble Mars’ cracked barren surface. I was at the top and for some reason was trying to get it to turn. I became bored and thought to myself, “pfsh… so much for those dumb tasks!”

I continued through the dream. I flew up out of the lot, and seem to remember other planets from our solar system there, as similar mushy masses as Mars. I had a dream memory that I was back where I’d started because I recognized some restaurant I went to… Maybe this is where the door took me initially when I wanted to go to Venus. I set down in some residential area on a sidewalk. There were leaves all around and it felt like early fall. I remembered the other part of the task, to turn into an animal. I thought of my cute fluffy calico kitten and tried turning into her. I started running on all fours but realized I was still in human form. Still on my hands and knees, I tried looking at my hands and concentrating on them to become cute white kitty paws. Nothing happened. So I concentrated on just trying to shrink down into a cat’s size. Now I was laying on my stomach, and I could feel myself begin to move on the ground. It felt like I was moving backwards…because I was! Irritated, I tried again but this time only began sliding forward.
I quit trying to complete any tasks altogether and just thought I’d enjoy the dream. I walked down the sidewalk, and noticed the shriveled baby creature crawling on the side of the sidewalk, nearly concealed in some brown leaves. It looked up at me and reached out its arm with some kind of little clear plastic envelope in its hand. In the envelope it looked like there was stuff like nail clippers and other things like that. The expression on the little shriveled face was like it was imploring me to take what it was offering me. For some reason I felt disgust toward it and it’s gesture. I felt like it was always trying to give me things I didn’t need or want. I walked right by the shriveled little creature and that was the last time I saw it.

Now things became very lucid, as in more open feeling and detailed. I walked over to a store where a white car was parked. The car looked like it was painted with cake frosting, especially around the headlights. Something about it looked very off. Still feeling frustrated I had little control over my own dream world, I picked the car up by the front bumper, digging my fingers in and bending the metal. I effortlessly hoisted the car up in the air and began smashing it against some store front. Bashing the sign above the door and smashing the windows. The feeling of strong lucidity began to fade a little. The dream shifted to that I was in a movie.

Me and the little shriveled baby were in some kind of comedy with Jennifer Aniston. She had been waiting in the back of some van for awhile waiting for us to come back. She was wearing some tan bikini top and a soft tiny little tan leather miniskirt. I walked over to the van, and she kept saying she had to go. She looked desperate, in a comical sort of way. As I saw her I became overcome with lust. Still feeling the lucidity of the dream, I grabbed her. Her breasts were a lot bigger than I’ve seen them in real life (well, pictures and movies). She struggled to get away and explained she had to go to the bathroom and couldn’t hold it in any longer. I held her close to me and said to her to just let it go. She seemed weirded out ( and rightly so) but agreed. For some reason my pants were down now, and I could feel the urine splashing over my testicles and wang. For some reason it was cold at first, then got slightly warmer. I couldn’t believe how good it felt. I’ve never, ever been interested in that sort of thing before. In fact I think it’s gross and don’t see how anyone could want to be urinated on, so it was a really weird thing to happen.

As she urinated on my genitals, I took out her left (on her left) breast from her bikini top and began sucking on her nipple. Her nipple had some little flesh-colored string tied around the base of it. Her nipple was a lot larger than I thought it would be. The whole thing made for a very bizarre and erotic experience. I get a sense that the baby thing was somewhere nearby, or other people were there watching and giggling. And then the dream was over.

awe why not? haha. I guess not everyone gets lucky enough to have one like me :-D

well im not entirely sure if this could be classed as the Advanced task completed as I went to a alternate world not a new one....what do you guys think?

The roof is filled with ornate tiling, battlements and bell towers and its very pretty and I decide to try once more to reach another world. I fall backwards towards the ground cos I know that I will pass through the ground into another world. As I hit the ground I pass into blackness then into the sky again.

This repeats its self a few times until I stop and realise that the sky is now purple! and the ground which was a school yard is now a endless Grey dusty plain with black boulders scattered here and there. In the distance I see a building which is white with a red roof (like you would expect to see in the Mediterranean) the building seems to be a endless line of archways but I dont know the purpose of this. I know this is not my world but a alternate world and I decide to wake up cos I am struggling to remember what happened at the start of the dream.


here is the dream in full

http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...&postcount=979

I remember reading these and thinking "the basic is too easy and the advanced is too hard". As the month went by though, my dream control has taken an upturn. So two nights ago I found a good jpeg of mars and printed it out. I studied it upon waking after 5-6 hours and went back to bed with the obvious intention. The ensuing dream was the oddest I think I've ever had - though I'll only share the lucid portion:

I have a FA and recognize it as such due to a vibration feeling at the back of my neck. I check a couple of clocks which give me unreasonable times (they don't match and they're too early relative to my previous waking).

I go to the wall, get on my knees and put my hands on the wall in order to open a space time portal to Mars (visualizing the martian landsapce on the other side). I haven't done this in a while and I struggle some, but eventualy the wall decomposes and I push myself through.

On the other side, I didn't find myself on mars - but rather a different planet landscape all together. It was like something out of a salvinorin A vision (and no - I wasn't tripping). Apparently, my brain leveraged those types of experiences to fabricate what I saw. My field of vision was a little unstable (with an oscillitory/shaking - much like what you see at the onset of a salvinorin A vision). It stablizes some to reveal an off world landscape. The sky is blueish/grey transitioning to black as you look more toward the vertical direction. The terrain is very rough. In random locations, there are large grey rocks which look like the letter H, only not perfectly so. They are all about 15 ft. high. It reminds me almost a little of stonehenge. This view falls apart and I find myself back on the other side of the wall - still lucid. There's a video playing in the far corner. There's no TV, just a moving picture in the air. It is a cartoon of various elf like little boys chasing each other and frolicking about. The phone rings, I get distracted and lose lucidity ... even odder events follow.

Oh, BTW - no opportunity to oturn myself into a plant or animal as there were none.

This was perhaps the shortest true lucid I have had, and yet, I managed to complete the basic task. I was on some sort of concrete outcrop in the middle of a desert. The concrete was formed to have a square floor, and two adjacent walls, cut to the shared top corner.

In front of me was a woman sitting at a plastic table. For reasons unknown to me, I became lucid. I had reminded myself the night before of the task, so it came instantly. I asked the woman of my New Year's Resolution, and she responded with the following:

"You must do everything and nothing!" She then began to chuckle. Perhaps due to my expectancy of such a cryptic answer from my mind, I also began to laugh. In the midst of this laughter, my memory fades.

That's the length of it. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this kind of response...

I've only had two lucid dreams this month. Interestingly enough they were both last night. In my second dream I attempted, for the first time, the basic task and succeeded. I wasn't lucid very long unlike my first dream, but it did the trick.

January 18th

Basic Task of the Month (January)

Mark75 will die. I was attending a church/school thing. I was sitting in a desk half asleep when this spiky blond haired guy started talking to me. It was Mark, woohoo. We left the classroom and Mark75 became a spider in an RC car. It drove around (night time, street/alleyway) when this douche bag came and started stomping on the car. I got into a fight with him and then he left. I picked up the spider and it was bloody and squashed. I thought Mark was dead but his human form appeared behind me and told me to leave that stupid thing there. I shrugged and wondered off onto this old western bar looking place. A black guy was standing in front of the door. It hit me. "I can ask this guy," I thought for a moment accessing my real life brain (and becoming lucid), "I can ask him my new years resolution."

I asked and his response was complete gibberish. Angered I took him by the collar and said "give me a coherent answer that I can bring back to the people." He then said "You must breed balloons." Satisfied, I left thinking that I was going to have to try and exit the galaxy to attempt the advance challenge. I was distracted by Mark75, however, who looked exactly like my brother. He was talking to people in a very sarcastic way. I woke up.

Mark75 will be so honored that you dreamed about him as a spider/sarcastic guy! Congratulations.

Thanks haha. The last dream I had with Mark75 in it he spontaneously turned into a really heavy baby.

Maybe we should make a thread of our Mark75 dreams--kind of the opposite of "The real Mark75" threads.

Not that I've had one.

I've personally never gotten a task. Mostly because I usually don't get lucid. I'm not really into new year's resolutions so I'm not feeling this task so much. I'm gonna give it a go and see if I can finally complete one.

aww. keep trying. You'll get one an I guarentee that it'll be worth it

I finally did a Lucid Task of the Month Here is my dream, copy/pasted from my thread in the Lucid Experiences forum.

I just had the most amazing lucid The kind you read about in lucid dream books, and the kind I thought I'd never have. First thing I remember, I find myself in a non-lucid visiting someone's house, she's a friend in my dream tho I don't know her in real life. She gets upset at me for some reason, and tells me she's in love with me, and I tell her I like her as a friend but I don't feel that way about her. There's something about wanting to take a shower, there's two or three showers but they're all being used, and I somehow decide to go to take a nap on her couch. In the dream, I am lying there drifting in and out of sleep. As I'm laying down in the dream (maybe in reality? I'm honestly not sure), I feel a sudden 'warp' feeling, and wonder if I've gone lucid. I pinch my nose, and I can breathe! I try to get up but almost lose lucidity, it takes a few tries but finally I get up. I pinch my nose a few times, sort of not really believing it at first, but after four times or so, I finally believe I'm dreaming. I get up and walk around and there are a bunch of people, mostly men, seeming like they are on their way out of where I am. I am coherent enough to remember the simple task for January, and and stop one and ask what my new years resolution will be, and he ignores me. I stop another and ask, and he says "only you will know", lol. Okaaay. I ask another but he ignores me as well. Somehow after that I end up back on the couch again, feeling like I'm about to "wake up" from my nap. I do another RC, can still breathe, and I decide I want to go outside. I get up (a little difficult, and I keep thinking I'm about to wake up, but finally I manage) and find my way to the door. I open it and go out, and there's snow on the ground, and somehow I know it's supposed to be freezing out, but it takes a minute for the "cold" sensation to kick in, and I never really get a strong sensation of cold. I step off the steps past a woman who's just sitting on the sidewalk (I ignore her) and walk down the street a bit. I look up and see the san francisco skyline in the distance and suddenly decide I want to fly. I used to fly in dreams when I was a kid, so there wasn't much doubt in my mind that I could do it - I simply reached into the air, and I come off the ground and fly up about fifteen feet. I angle myself a bit more like superman as I am pulled skyward, slowly but surely, and then I start to speed up. I look up and see the lights of the San Francisco skyline and just think oh wow, I want to fly to that. They're kind of blurry, and I say "increase clarity" to get them a bit clearer, and suddenly the lights are incredibly bright, incredibly vivid and beautiful. I start flying towards them a bit faster, when I start to see a rainbow of lights ahead.. I squint to see what they are, and as I come closer I see it's a carousel! It comes into focus and is about 30 feet away, I'm flying towards it and I can see all the horses are covered with rainbow lights, each horse a different color, and it's slowly spinning around, and it's just so amazing and beautiful. I think I want to ride one of the horses, and wonder if I can land on one. On top of the carousel, perhaps 200 feet in the air, are a bunch of multicolor pastel balloons - blue, pink, and yellow, tied to the top of it. My flight path is going to take me right into them, but I don't hesitate, I just dive into them, and they're soft and light, it's so real, I can feel the plastic balloons hitting my face before moving away from me, there are hundreds of them, and I'm joyfully batting them around as I dive through them. I may have even started laughing at the sheer amazingness of it all. Finally I'm through them and I am coming down slowly to land, and it's like there's a big fountain, but the water is special in a way I can't explain, it's water but there's something else added to it, it's very pure with a kind of inner light. I land in it and it sprays up all over me and it's exhilerating and really fun, but at the same time it blurs my vision. I know I'm in trouble because everytime I take my concentration away from the dream for more than a moment or two it starts to waver - I fight to be able to see but my eyes are wet (in the dream), so everything's blurried, I can't see anything except blurred colors, and suddenly, I awaken.

Oh, man. That is the most amazing dream I've had since I was a kid I am beyond happy right now. I think I've been sleeping about an hour and a half. It seemed like a pretty long dream...The colors were so bright, so vivid, the sensations so real.. the best part was flying and diving into all those pastel balloons

Awesome dream! I like the balloon part; that sounds pretty fun.

I nailed both tasks last night. The dream started with me walking around school, supposedly heading to my next class, but the hallways were deserted. One RC later and I realized I was dreaming. Farther along the hallway I was in, there's a little niche with a vending machine that I planned to use for the advanced task, so I glided down there. A few DCs turned to watch.

On a little platform next to the vending machine one of my second cousins was standing, surrounded by various food products. I decided I might as well do both tasks, so I asked her what my New Year's Resolution should be. "Get a jar of nickels," she said. Then she held up a jar of pickles that had been sitting on the ground, and a kind of squeeky voice emitted from them. "You should turn into a pickle!"

Chuckling, I turned to the vending machine and kicked it. The front door swung open, revealing a compartment inside containing some flashing red buttons. I planned to use the vending machine as a type of time/space machine to transport me to a random planet. (Kind of like the phone booth in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, it's where I got the idea.) Anyway, I pressed some of the buttons. Coming in stronger and stronger amounts, I could feel gravity pulling on me as I left Earth, although I couldn't see as the door didn't have any windows. As if it was reading my thoughts, a window appeared on the upper portion of the door.

A small, barren planet came into view. It was mostly an orange color, with swirls of purple mixed in amongst the surface rocks. Behind it I could see a sun revolving around the planet towards the back side; it was small and hardly cast enough light to see. Using my finger, I redirected it so the sun was closer to the planet and on the side the machine was closing in on to land. With a soft bumb, my little capsule landed and the door flung open.

The surface wasn't too remarkable; it only had a few small craters and dirt/rocks of orange and purple. What did surprise me, was that the ground was littered with superhero capes! Many of them were yellow with purple stripes, but I found a nice blue one that suited my tastes. I put it on, and continued to survey the new land.

After about a minute the sun set. Since there were no distinguishable landscapes, I could actually see the line separating night from day come rushing closer towards me and finally pass over. I pointed my finger again and made light shine out of it. This little guy from the new Pixar movie showed up, so I bent down and asked him if he understood English. He just gave me an odd look, so I figured the answer was no. The dream slipped and I woke up after that.

Superhero capes? Awesome

Well i managed to do the basic task.
I awoke early in the morning, realising i had nothing better to do, i decided to go back to sleep and have a lucid dream. This was the quickest that i had ever goten lucid. I was at a rock concert. After a while i remembered the lucid task of the month, i hadnt bothered to attempt it this month becasue frankly i count be bothered. So turning to the person next to me i asked "hey, whats my new years resolution for 2008?". After giving me a weird look he said "Grow some balls you F-ing dumbass" (umm, why do all my dream character swear at me and stuff?). I was pretty gutted coz im female. so i departed the concert and wandered the streets alone.
Turning into a store, i found my reflection looking at me through the mirror opposite to me on the wall. Suddenly i had a strong will to complete my new years resolution and to grow some balls. So facing the mirror, i got down to work. Closing my eyes i willed for ball to grow... and after reopening them i realised i had sprouted a pair of testicle! i was pleased as i have had bad gender changing experinece in the past!.....
however somthing was wrong! I was missing a penis! i had the balls but no penis! It looked soo odd!
so to complete the get up, i tryed to make a penis appear, but it just wouldnt happen! I gave up after a while with frustration.

well there you go... i got a newyears resolution and completed it all in the same dream! after that i had tryed to fly off to the moon with my new penis-less balls, but i was unable to even rise a few feet.

*grumble, grumble* I still haven't done either yet. *grumble, grumble*
