Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of January 2008

Wow, I didn't even see the end of the poll...
Had a great lucid last night, but totally forgot about the task

Congrats TempleGuard, for doing the task so quickly into the new year!

So, are you going to make a movie this year?
Or maybe just make one in a lucid dream

Really interasting... I think that I will have my first lucid dreaming this month! Maybe I will complete those tasks!

Wouldn't a great idea for the advanced task be to ask your new year's resolution should be and then complete it? I think so

I will try to do something like a "Movie" in a lucid, unless I forgot of course.

That would be fun.

Except completing it would not neccessarily be LD-related so it couldn't be a "Lucid Task of the Month"

how would it not be lucid related? you get lucid, ask a DC what your resolution should be, then in your same lucid you complete it .. what's not lucid about that?

Congratulations, Temple Guard! Be sure and tell us about the lucid-movie that you make!

Oooh, very challenging. I'm going to have fun with this

You might notice that the advanced task is a combination of two tasks in the poll. They were tied at 4 votes each and both were good, so I thought, WTF, let's do something really advanced

Ah! Complete it during your lucid. Sorry, I misunderstood.

no worries

Ok...I got the basic, though it was crude and disappointing, achieved only during a very short lucid sequence after a longer sequence with two consecutive failures. Here it is:

Once I entered another dream sequence, probably after a the fading of a previous nonlucid sequence so that I knew the next thing I saw would be a dream (I don't remember how I became aware enough of my state to try the lucid task), I decided that this time I was going to seek out a "magnet," a person wise enough to give me a real answer for my resolution. I found my stepmother, D. I asked her, "What's my New Year's resolution? What should I work on?" She blurted out, "Your singing." I responded, "Singing!? But I don't even sing. Thank you anyway for giving me a real answer, though."

The dream faded sometime after that.

This is gonna be fun.

Man I got really close today, I was outside in a barn and I asked my mom what my resolution should be and she told me to get inside. I asked again and she yelled at me so I was like fuck it and decided to leave. Maybe I'll have better look tomarrow.

Let's hope I can have another lucky lucid- this task sounds like fun!

Lately, I've been having stress-related nightmares . I hope I can use those to my advantage.

Seeker, that's a cool dream name. Mine turned out to be Jharaerea, and I learned a good lesson- never steal beer from angry bartenders.

I thought the dream had ended and I that I was writing down everything.. including the song that we'd danced to but I kept going through my notes and I couldn't find it. I picked up pad after pad and turned page after page but couldn't find my notes about this dream!?! Then I woke up for real!!! I am sooo angry that I lost the name of that song due to a FA.

Happened to me too- I "wrote" down my dream name on paper. Except, I couldn't find it. Took me about an hour to remember, and I was so worried!

Hehe, are New Years resolutions still valid now?

The advanced task sounds really cool. I've been outside the solar system in some weak lucids before, but never to a different planet.

ok. I decided that I'd goto another planet. That was the only task I remembered off your list and tried it out. I seriously flew for a good 60 seconds at super speeds and could bearly get to the moon. It was a crescent moon and I was able to fly through it for some reason lol. I then proceeded to go out away from the bright sun. It felt as if the bottoms of my feet were on fire but, I didn't look down. I was flying away from the sun. And kept going I looked back after about 30-45 seconds because I was afraid I'd lose lucidity after a bit. And saw the moon still. I didn't make it very far. It was like realistic speed. I did what I could to find an asteroid because it was my last hope. I then found one and bolted toward it. For some reason I could not slow down haha. I collided with the asteroid and landed on it. I'd say it was about 50 ft across. I searched around it and found a few caves and holes in it. I sat down for a second to take in the dream and just enjoy the effects. Also to keep lucid. I tend to fall out every time I rush too much. After a few seconds say 30. I decided to take a tour of the caves. Inside one led me to another asteroid. I didnt' want to leave so I tried to find another one. I then proceeded to the next cave and decided whatever lets go. I walked through it and I appeared at a bus with all of my friends from high school. I actually forgot for sometime that I was dreaming. At the end of it I remembered gaining lucidity again when the bus was gathering us in. At that point I was thinking what happened to the other planet? I can't tell if its the same dream or one lapped another. Its kinda interesting. But, that was the end of my traveling. As for the New years task. I honestly didn't even read this enough to know it was there till today. I just glanced at it and the planet hoping sounded cool.

I did it!

This one was pretty easy for me, because I'm sort of into the whole sci-fi thing, and I work for the USAF Space Command.

Okay, so I went lucid last night, when I realized that I was having a naked dream. I was at work, checking on some equipment, without a stitch of clothing. Somehow I alternated between being suddenly embarrassed and not really caring that I was naked at work, but no one seemed to say antyhing about it. Then all at once I realized that I would never actually come to work naked, and I couldn't figure out any way that I would accidentally become naked once I got there.

So, I did an RC, the one where you hold your nose and try to breathe through it, and went lucid. At first, I misremembered this months challenge as turning into an animal, which is similar, and one I had done long ago, but before I had a chance to do that, I remembered somehow that it wasn't the real challenge.

Getting into space was kind of wierd, to say the least. Using telekinesis, I lifted a huge portion of US 83 straight up into the air, to form a sort of ramp that went over a mile up, then flew up to the top of the ramp. Using more telekinesis, as well as a pair of binoculars, I caused my Camaro to speed at the ramp as fast as it could go, and then jumped in through one of the open T-tops as it went past me. (Driving cars from the driver's seat doesn't work too well for me in dreams, so I didn't bother trying it that way.)

I remember stuggling to put the missing T-top section back in place before I hit vaccuum, and then I jumped into "hyperspace," by slipping from Overdrive into Performance Drive, and buckled up. I set my course for a very particular star, visible in the Southern Sky, which was named after me by an ex using one of those radio star naming services, and was also the setting for a sf novel I wrote a year ago.

Upon arriving in a region called "Skierkowa," I met up with a Nonych, one of the native aborignials, and transformed into one of them to hunt wulfbeasts in the Delt Forest. Nonychs are a very tall, intelligent species that resemble a cross between an allosaurus and a velociraptor, and their name is given to them by a character who thinks they look like "Deinonychus."

I only managed to hunt for about twenty minutes or so, and didn't manage to bag anything before I woke up.

I think Task of the Month is the BEST idea!
