Lucid Task of the Month for February 2008

[ninja9578]

Introduction: This topic is for the Lucid Tasks I assigned this month. During this month, please attempt one or both of the tasks. Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task, your efforts should make interesting reading! This is required in order to get credit, it is no longer sufficient just to say that you did it. Whoever completes either of these tasks gets the following goodies until the end of the month: *** Your name will be displayed in ORANGE in the online members list at the bottom of the main forum page. *** You will receive a special title and badge *** You will receive access to the "Lucid Task Club" which is a limitted access forum for people that complete the lucid task each month. Tasks for this month: Basic Task: Ask a Dream Character something about yourself that you don't know Advanced Task: Find a groundhog and telekinetically levitate it

I thought that I'd put these here so that everyone has a full month to do them and our beloved admins are missing *Note for admins: the pictures of badges aren't local. Here's my basic task Excerpt from my dream journal. I didn't want to fool around this time so I pulled back. "I need you to tell me something about myself that I don't already know," I told her. "Like what?" She seemed confused. She started to rub her crotch against mine. "You mean you want it in your hips?' She teased. "No, just tell me anything." She thought for a second. "Like ask you out?" She asked. "Yeah, I want to ask you out."

Sounds hopeful, now I just have to remember these tasks and hopefully I'm MILD my way into getting the basic one done, not a fan of groundhogs...

I'm not sure which dream this came after or if it was WILD that didn't last long. I'm in a hallway and there's these 2 fuzzy figures. I know I'm dreaming but feel like its not going to last long. I focus and ask one of the guys, "Tell me something about myself that I don't know" He was talking with the other guy when I said it but then said, "You mean about your lips?" I said, "What?" He said, "Your lips man, you need some chapstick." Then I woke up. If I try this again then I'm going to focus on a specific question....like what should my profession be.

Alright! I failed last month, but this month, I shall emerge victorious!

[Barns]

Dammit! I was in a lucid about 5 minutes ago and I couldn't remember what the task was!

[iadr]

I realize that I am dreaming after having somewhat of a nightmare in which my wife and I are staying in some place owned by my company and in which I had taken some galantamine/choline to get lucid, but am having a difficult time getting lucid because of all of the distractions and noises in the place we are staying. Beause of all of the problems I am having, I finally realize that I must be dreaming, so start telling myself over and over that I am dreaming. Once some scenery starts coming to me I concentrate on finding a groundhog. I find myself somewhere outside where there seems to hundreds of animals walking around, none of which appear to be groundhogs. At one point I even see a chicken walk by me. As I continue to concentrate on finding a groundhog all of the other animals disappear and a couple of friendly groundhogs walk up to me, one of which is somewhat smaller than the other one. I tell the small groundhog that I am going to show it what it feels like to float in the air, and then concentrate on levitating it off of the ground, after which it floats up into the air a couple of feet. I then remember the basic task of asking someone to tell me something about myself that I don't already know, so pronounce out loud that I would like someone to tell me something about myself that I don't already know. As soon as I say this, the groundhogs disappear, and I find myself surrounded by a number of DC's, mostly guys I think, who all start talking at once telling me all kind of negative things about myself. One guy tell me that I never stick with my goals to accomplish them, while another one tells me that I start something and then 6 months later have completely forgotten about it. A bit annoyed with everything I am hearing, I concentrate on making all of the DC's disappear, after which they are all gone. I then see an adversary of some sort to the right of me off in the distance, so concentrate on making him disappear by using my imagination, after which he is gone. Once he is gone, I see a vision of Jesus at an equal distance to where my adversary was, only off to the left side. Happy at this point with having completed the tasks I decide to try something else I've never tried before, so picture a door in front of me and tell myself that when I open the door I am going to find a beach with a beatiful lady there waiting for me. When I open the door the beach is there, but it is full of people swimming, both men and women, who all seem to be together, with no one left for me. So I try the door thing again, and this time end up somewhere like a cave where there is something like dating service. I find myself standing in a line of guys who are being matched up with a line of gals on the other side. When it comes my turn though the lady in charge of the dating service, who is somewhat of a heavy set lady, says that she is going to take me for herself, so flies over to me and takes me off flying with her. Although she is somewhat large I find her very pleasant to be around because she is so jovial and has such a great personality. She shows me how to fly by concentrating on where I want to go, and takes me all through the place showing the best places to fly. After a while I lose track of her though and get lost. As I am flying through this place which appears to be underground I see all kinds of people who appear to be going places. They seem to notice me and seem to be making fun of the way I am flying as I am really going slow as I hear one person say that I am only going 1 mile per hour. A bit annoyed at all of the problems I am having in this lucid, I finally wake myself up. After going back to bed I become lucid again, and this time things go much better as I find I am able to float at will so just float all around for about an hour going very high and then coming back down, and floating back up again. At one point I find myself falling freely so allow myself to fall freely, after which I stop right before hitting the ground, where I then find myself being shot right back up into the air again while I am still laying on my back. I have so much fun with this movement that I repeat it several times.

Alright! I think I've got it. I woke up at 3:30 to do a a WBTB and went back to to bed at 3:45. I suddenly out of the blue realize that I'm dreaming in a parking lot. I rub my hands together, and tell myself that I need to find a dream character to talk to. I wander around the parking lot, and some arrive. I go up to a car, and ask the girl in the passenger seat to tell me something about myself I don't know. They drove away, the dirtbags. Lucky for me, the parking lot was one for an outside restaurant, so I went around the tables asking people, and I still didn't really get an answer! I got a variety of "Why are you asking me?", "What do you mean?", and "How should I know?" Can't say I didn't try. The dream fades. Do I still get my wings, even though I didn't get a real answer?

Of course you get your wings. The task was just to ask a Dream Character something about yourself, and you did that. Not just once, but several times. Congratulations on a job well done.

[TheOneAxiom]

Tried the basic task...asked sort of the wrong DC because well, she had a weapon and wasn't very friendly lol So I am inside some wierd fusion game of BioShock/Halo 3/Asheron's Call 2/Dungeons and Dragons: Online...so I am fighting thing and chopping things in half and some chick with almost nothing on with some sort of big ass battle axe from the Reign of Fire movie comes running up to me, I remember the task and grab her.... "Hey, tell me something I don't know about myself." I told her She looked at me hard for a moment and then puts down the axe for a little bit to answer me. She smiles and says: "Your about to get killed, thats something you dont know." She said I turn around and some sort of wolf alien thing jumps out the middle of nowhere, luckily I was lucid enough to duck and it killed he instead and then met my chainsaw! > Does that count?

[ninja9578]

Sounds like it would count to me. Unfortunately the admins are the only ones who can grant wings and no one knows where they are.

[GestaltAlteration]

Well well. Asking dream characters seems to be fairly easy. I'll give this a shot. I just hope the DC doesn't tell me something embarrassing.

[ninja9578]

Even if it does, you have to post it here and let us make fun of you for it

[mark]

Well here are my attempts to complete the basic task, they never answered my question though! ....Suddenly I am back on the ground, its light now and I decide to try February's tasks. I see a lady with short blond hair, she is slightly over weight and is dressed in smart casual clothing. I approach her and ask "Tell me something about myself which I do not know" I ask but she tells me she doesnt have the time for this and walks away. I approach a man and ask the same and he runs away looking back over his shoulder like he is terrified of me and so I approach a group of lads all with long scruffy looking hair and checked shirts. They tell me they are busy and walk away. I debate on asking a woman who has 8 kids running round her but I decide against it and so I fly further down the street. I ask a family or at least I make an attempt to but they just ignore me, I am slightly annoyed at my uncooperative DCs so I decide to just have some fun I try TK but it doesnt work so I focus on my hand and I can actually feel my hand tingling from the attention. Now I raise my hand towards a car and it lifts effortlessly into the air. I try to flatten the family with it but I miss them but its still cool.... .... I think about the advanced task but I have no clue what a ground hog is and I wounder if a big rat would suffice and so I fly around looking for one. I enter a back lane and see a blond DC. He is working on a truck and looks like a farmer of some sort. I land next to him and say "May I ask you a question" he agrees "Well Saying as this is all a dream I attempting to learn a little bit more about myself" I am really nervous now (I am scared about learning about my past, what I might uncover the feeling and emotions I have buried) "will you....tell me something that I err...dont know about myself" He walks away and I follow "Wait why wont you tell me" I ask he says "your annoying me" so I debate on torturing the information out of him but I wake up here is a link to the full dream if ya need it or want to read it http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...postcount=1116

[mark]

lucidbuddha - ha ha I love that answer its so funny! iadr - nice one man, the question is interesting because you are asking your sub conscious to tell you all the things your conscious mind ignores. I was excited to see the answers people provide because the times I have asked similar questions I have been blown away by the insight the answers have provided in my life. Pastulio - I would say you get the badge, Are you going to try again to see if you get a answer? TheOneAxiom - ha that is brilliant lol

It is interesting that everyones DC's seem to just ignore them, while mine were more than happy to tell me all of things that they felt were wrong with me, even to the point of being obnoxious. I think levitating something that looks like a big rat, if you can find one, would be more than sufficient for this task. That was the most difficult part of this task for me. Just finding a groundhog.

[TheOneAxiom]

are the wings/orange text sent to you or what? On a seperate I told my sister about this thing...(I think she is a natural LD'er) She googled up what a ground hog looked like She WILD'ed into a daydream in about 3 mins...woke up 2 mins later and told me she threw on into the air... Thats not fair! I cant natural WILD, even more impressive it was a daydream I will try to do the groundhog tonight

[ninja9578]

They are set by an administrator. Tell your sister to log on

[TheOneAxiom]

They are set by an administrator. Tell your sister to log on she says she's "too busy" and then slammed the door but said you can talk to her on aim and she says "Hi!" The Color Sharon is her aim... she is cool when it comes to dreaming but pretty lazy

[Clairity]

Thanks ninja for creating the thread! I sent a PM off to the Admins to get you guys your badges for completing the tasks. Congrats to you all and good job!

[pj]

Thanks ninja for creating the thread! I sent a PM off to the Admins to get you guys your badges for completing the tasks. I'll second that Thank You, and apologize for the delay in getting things started this month. All of the Lucid Task issues should now be in order, and the wing images are now local. If anybody finds out they suddenly have god-like powers here on the board, it means my hand slipped while resetting things. If you find this to be the case, please don't ban me. Oh - and let me know so I can take it away from you. Thanks.

[m-mischief]

I have an idea for next months task. Find ninja9578 in your dream, ask him what the task of the month is, and then do that task.

[ninja9578]

I didn't come up with the tasks. I wouldn't be so bold, and probably get banned. We spin out ideas in the Lucid Task Club and then vote on them. These were the winners, I'm just the one who posted them here.

i woke up in the night, and decided to wild, but accidently fell asleep. But i had a dild instead. I was walking in my living room, with one brother behind me, when i realize i'm dreaming. I turn around and ask my brother 'J' to tell me something about myself that i dont know, he doesnt take me seriously so I walk to the kitchen where my dad and other brother 'P' are. I ask my dad but he doesnt take me seriosly, then i ask 'J' again and he says some word starting with e, but i forgot what it was. then i decide he ask 'P' and he takes me serriously and thinks for several moments, but its taking too long, finally my dad says 'tenderness' I woke up.

I have half a mind to call the ASPCA on all you groundhog levitaters... Hehe just kidding. Anyway I went to bed a 10ish last night and woke up at 3:30 to WILD, I layed down and before I had time to get comfortable it seemed that I was dreaming. I was on the top of a tall skyscraper and I thought to myself, F*ck, theres no groundhogs up here." So I remembered (I use a lot of passive control) that the elevator leads to a rolling green pasture full of talking wild life (I get lonely easy ). So I enter into the elevator but the buttons were really weird, I pushed the lowest down button and it took me to a green field full of hills and wildlife. Everything from deer to cougars were there. Finally I tracked down a groundhog and in an oh so dramatic fashion I began to levitate the groundhog, at about 3 feet the ground hog said "Cor blimey mate put me down!" (apparently my groundhog was from the UK) I replied "Not until you tell me something about me that I don't already know." "Well from what I can tell your an arrogant c*nt that needs to learn his place." The groundhog replied. "Well thanks" I responded and put the groundhog down. Then I turned around to the elevator and remembered that someone had fixed the buttons while I was going through the groundhog levitating ordeal (more passive), and I enter back in to the elevator, ride to the top of the skyscraper, and proceed to spiderman (I have a spiderman fetish) throughout the city until I woke up.
