Lucid Task for the Month of January 2008

**Seeker** · 01-01-2008 04:26 PM

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:

Lucid Task: Ask a Dream Character what your New Years resolution should be

Advanced Task: Go to a planet outside the solar system, report back what you find. Extra challange; change into any type of animal or plant you find there.

These are my goals.

COME ON AARON!!

I did the basic task already. About 14 hours after the new year started

.
As soon as I realised I am dreaming I went to my computer to chat with someone and see what it would happen if I try to do the task by the computer, but It was flooded with some spam program messages so I went outside and ask one guy from the next apartment (i think that there was a party) to come and tell me something. There was a lady with him and I asked them both "Listen, I know you know, so tell me what I should do this year, what will be, what is my resolution" (or something like that), and the guy said "You must make a Movie", so I was like "A movie!? Anything else", and they both repeated "A movie". So I went out and I continiued with my lucid.
P.S. I guess I did it first

Nice one TempleGuard!

Hey, sounds good. I'll try these.
I'll post it back here if I manage it

**Apfelpfankuchen** · 01-01-2008 05:19 PM

This month is going to be pretty fun

And crongratz templeguard, that was pretty fast

**Sara** · 01-01-2008 05:26 PM

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

**stavrakas** · 01-01-2008 05:31 PM

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.

**Super Duck** · 01-01-2008 05:47 PM

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?

**Moonbeam** · 01-01-2008 07:22 PM

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

**DeadDollKitty** · 01-01-2008 07:53 PM

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

**Seeker** · 01-01-2008 10:00 PM

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

**ninja9578** · 01-01-2008 11:14 PM

Going to an extra solar planet sounds easy, becoming an animal from that planet sounds like it might take a few tries for me.

Ohh, didn't notice that!
Hadn't seen the final result on the poll either. The advanced tasks still sound a bit out of reach, so I'm going to focus on the basic task first. I really want to have a good new year's resolution

Changing myself into animal is one of my personal tasks, so if it doesn't get done this month, it will be later

**QwinsepiaSquared** · 01-02-2008 01:41 AM

I'm really liking the advanced task this month. Space is always so beautiful in my dreams. Just gotta dig myself out of my LD dryspell...

**peppy** · 01-02-2008 01:45 AM

Interesting. I think I'll try focusing on the basic first.

**Seeker** · 01-02-2008 01:46 AM

I look forward to doing the tasks again. I finished last months basic task today, oh well too late. Anyway, it was the most wonderful and lucid of lucid dreams. Entirely freeking realer than real. I asked three DCs in an office what my dream name was, they insisted it is 'Seeker'.

I even argued with them about it for a few moments and they would not change their minds

I think that is a fine dream name for you, Seeker! How can you argue with them about that? And they were so consistent!

A DC called me Pruney-Prune last month (spontaneously, I hadn't asked him what my name was); I thought maybe he was trying to say Moony-Moon. And I would have preferred the dream name Moonbeam to "Tyler".

**innerspacecadet** · 01-02-2008 06:18 AM

All right...a fresh new set of tasks.

From here on, I'm going to see if reminding myself of a good reason to pursue lucid dreams - understanding and stretching the limits of my consciousness and my ability to overcome purely mental obstacles - will help me have more of them. I had far fewer lucids in December than November, which may have been because my enthusiasm was fading. I couldn't easily find it in me to complete an induction technique upon WBTB-ing.

If your DCs were so consistent about it, it must have been your REAL dream name

(I asked the same question 3 times to 1 girl and she came up with a different answer every time

)

I was sooo close last night. Had the question in mind, found a gentle DC, but I couldn't produce any sound

**Apfelpfankuchen** · 01-02-2008 01:15 PM

Noooooooooooooooooo

Last night I was in this dream and I found myself at my sister's new house. I was in the living room alone when this golden retriever came up to me. This wasn't her real dog but it didn't matter to me at the time. The dog wouldn't come straight up to me, instead it sat down a few feet from me and wouldn't budge. I was like hmm that's weird and then I started thinking about how sometimes animals try to tell you things. First thing that popped into my head was check his named tag ... when I did though it said DV! haha

That's when I realized this was a dream and that wasn't her dog so I turned around and there was a computer right there! Convenient

I went onto DV to check the task of the month and it said the task was to play an acordion (sp).

I woke up shortly after that without completing that task or the real task

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