Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of January 2008

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

This month is going to be pretty fun

And crongratz templeguard, that was pretty fast

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?

Below is an excerpt from a lucid dream I had last night:

"Then I was watching Beowulf 2. It was set on another planet.
Then, I was teleported to the movie. I was standing on the banks of a grey river near a futuristic city which looked like the machine city from Matrix Revolutions. Then these little furry creatures in black cloaks tied me to a pole and carried me to the city."

I completed the basic Task for the month

I was walking down my old elementary school path towards the blacktop. It was cold windy and I recall seeing snow. I thought back to a dream I had that was similar and then I realized I was dreaming. I was searching for someone to ask what my new year Resolution should be and I found my tutor and I asked her. She sort of said it in a whisper but she said something around the lines of " find Sophie," or "be Sophie." Though, i was sure she didn't mean to actually find this person named Sophie but to look up what the name meant.

So yesterday morning I looked up in a old name book what the name Sophie meant and it said "The sensible." So, last night I had another Lucid dream and I found my tutor again and I asked if that was what she meant and she said yes.

So my new year resolution is to be more sensible

But being sensible is no fun So far no one has done the advanced task? Maybe I'll try again tonight and be the first.

haha yeah I know . ugh.. but we all know The resoultion we make won't last long

I was more interested on the basic task .Though, because I'm done with that one I'll probably try the Advanced task sometime this month.

Awesome. I love the advanced challenge. Flying into space, from Earth, as always been a challenge for me (read as: I've never been able to do it), so I'm definitely going to see if I can pull this off, this month.

I did already. Sorry.

I attempted the advanced task too. But I haven't gotten credit for it yet, and I didn't pull off the "turning to an alien creature" part of it.

Ninja, you can still be the first to become an alien creature from your dream planet.

*Badge coming soon*

cool. that's near enough my personal goal anyway.

I'm sorry I have to wow this.. I'm a very powerful lucid dreamer to say the least. I can do a lot with my surroundings, fly anywhere. To another planet. I've personally done this with saturn because I wanted to see the rings in the light up close. but, morph into an animal. I've never tried that and that sound hard. I can morph my surroundings but, NEVER have I did myself. lol. great list and I will do it for ya :-D

as the guy above stated don't float up without anything around, try to go where its nigh time focus on a star and go there thinking of it as a planet and you should get there. If its day light I never tried this. I will try some of these things tonight and see what happens.

As I concentrate on floating I find my dream body trying to float out of my physical body, although it appears to be stuck, as it is unable to get all of the way out.

I try every which way I can think of to get out of my body, turning first this way, then that way, but nothing works, until I imagine myself flying, after which I find myself flying up through some trees and into what seems like the twilight zone.

As I am flying through what feels like the twilight zone, I remember the task I had wanted to accomplish, that of going to Mars.

So I think about going to Mars, while at the same time giving my subconscious mind permission to take me to whatever planet it thinks would be best to go to.

Almost immediately I feel myself descending and find myself flying in a place that is both dark and foggy, making it very difficult to see anything, although I do see some buildings that look like housing projects on the side of one of the roads I am flying along.

As I am flying along I begin to hear some male voices which seem to be approaching me as they are getting louder and louder.

I relax as in the past when I have encountered these voices they usually don't seem to know I even there.

This time they seem to sense my presence though, because I very shortly feel myself completely covered by something like a blanket which forces me back into my body and causes me to wake up, putting an end to a perfectly fun adventure.

Congratulations, iadr. I had that same problem of getting stuck in my body lately; unlike you, I never could get out.

I'm not sure if Mars has housing projects....

I sort of doubt that they do also.

I guess that was just the best my subconscious mind could do.

Who knows where I actually was, although the darkness, fog, and eerie feeling in the atmosphere made it seem like another planet.

At first I was unsure where I had actually gone in this lucid, but now I'm thinking that I may have actually gone to Mars after someone showed me the below website where this guy claims to have soul travelled to various plantets, because the pictures I found here look almost exactly like the place I was at, although it was really dark and foggy during my lucid.

Anyway, this site may help someone else decide on a possible planet that they might like to visit.

I had some hypnagogic imagery that I thought I would share.

I was looking at a planet then I realized I was in the hypnagogic state. So I started flying (human torch style) as I'm prone to do. I flew around the planet (third person perspective) and came back and touch the flame trail that circled the planet. Then I remembered to try to do the task of the month. Next thing I know I'm standing on the ground and my wife is in front of me. We passionately embrace and I rip open her shirt. Then I remember the question before we get any further. "What is my new year's resolution?" I say.

"To have more sex!" She responds.

That was the last thing I remember. But I must say with a newborn that arrived in December, I'm pretty sure this resolution is unfortunately made to be broken.
