Thread: Lucid Task of the Month for February 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:

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!

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

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.

Ah! Dam*. that's anoying. this happend to me before. i was in a lucid and i stood there and thought for a long time. "what was a suppose to do " then after a while i got it. but it's very anoying =P

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

hey thanks man!!

lol it seems everyones dcs are shying away from the question lol. I am still gonna try this until I get a proper answer

Ah dont worry about their answers, maybe they were telling you something you were self conscious about? That is one of the reasons I suggest this, I was expecting some intensely personal answers....dosent seem to be working out that way eh? lol

The last time I asked something similar to this the DC gave me such a shocking but true answer it helped me alot...that is after I got over the sad feeling it caused ha ha.

Well I tried it but I didn't remember the whole thing. I said to my friend "tell me something that I don't know" Instead of "tell me something I don't know about myself" I don't remember his reply. Ill keep trying!

VVV The dream is in my dream journal, please comment! VVV

If the vote had "Giant DV orgy," I bet it would have won too.

I was able to do both in the same dream last night. Woo. The hardest part was just remembering to DO the tasks in my dreams. All week I had LDs where I was literally flying in circles, wondering what I should do for fun, and never even remembering I wanted to do the tasks. Then I'd wake up and be kicking myself.

Here's the excerpt from my DJ with the tasks:

I wandered off and into a hallway that appeared in between two buildings. When I got inside the building at the end, it was almost as big as a football field inside. It was really dark, but I noticed that there were huge lights on the ceiling. I raised my hands and forced them all to turn on. It actually worked! Normally it's almost impossible to light up a dark room. But to my disappointment the whole place was empty. It seemed to be one of those aircraft hangars. I started wondering what I could do in there.

Then I remembered the lucid task. The floor was cement, so the first thing I decided to do was make an area of it dirt. With my mind, I created a paintbrush and painted the floor with dirt (much like in photoshop, except 3-D. I've never done it this way before but it works really well). Then I made a little hole, and created the groundhog underneath so he would pop out. As soon as he did, I held up my hands and levitated him about three or four feet off the ground. Then I dropped him, and a cat came out of nowhere to chase him away.

At that point, I thought, "Well I'm going to do the other task too." So I went up to this short little bald man, who was one of two other people in the hangar, and asked "Hey, tell me something about myself that I don't know." He completely ignored me, staring at the groundhog and then turning away to follow the two animals as they ran out the way I came in (we were all still close to the entrance). I knew I was close to waking up, so I frantically looked around for someone else to ask. By the time I could get to another area I'd be awake. While I was thinking about all this, I actually woke up.

I probably didn't get the groundhog to look right, but oh well. He kind of looked more like a guinea pig. I probably should have googled for pictures of groundhogs beforehand because my only image of one is the one from Caddyshack (Is it even a groundhog? lol).

I'm going to keep trying with the question since I really didn't get an answer. I know the guy heard me, he just ignored me.

I was hiking in the mountains with some of my friends, who were from my school, and all of a sudden one of them procured a guitar, and started playing. His name was Alex (his actual name, even though IRL he couldn't play the guitar.) I asked him to play my favorite song, and he asked what it was. I couldn't remember, and then he asked, "is this it?" and he started playing this song that sounded like the best song in the world to me. It reminded me of an actual song, which it might have been, and I enjoyed it very much. When I woke up, I had no idea what the song even sounded like, and /i had no idea what the name could have been, or even the artist. I just remember him playing the guitar and my being in euphoria at how much I loved the rythm and beat of the song. There were no lyrics.

So last night I had a MILD. I ran up to a DC, someone i know in RL, and asked him to tell me something about myself I didnt know, he said "When you wake up you will be hungry, but won't eat for a while."

I said, "thats it? Nothing better:

He replied, "Umm, not really, you know yourself better than I do."

O well, if only I could remember the advanced task, I thought.

I went to ask someone the meaning of life, three DCs gave me equally nonsensical answers.

Btw, I had two additional DILDs that night, one from an FA, most I've had in one night.

Oops, forgot to post my basic task completion here...

The completion (or attempt) of tasks often causes me to wake up. Maybe it's because I don't want to forget the outcome, but maybe there's another reason. Anyone experience with this?


In the end of this long series of lucids, I met a lady on the street, she was with my mother (who shows up a lot recently, but in a positive way now). I asked her 'tell me something I don't know about myself'. She said something with 'donkey' (the real word was in Dutch and it doesn't have a meaning, so I can't translate it) I ask "what?" Her reply "you know, donkey-ing".

I don't know if I'm happy with the answer
But at least she replied my question

okay about this Basic Task: Ask a Dream Character something about yourself that you don't know

i was at my nanas when i felt really drowsy! and then i found myself drifting in and out of a dream...
so there i was in a pallace surounded by snowy white forests (my dream character is my bestest friend who lives in a pallace) i was walking in the hall when charlotte (my dc) came up to me and asked me if i was staying for the night i said okay then... hey i need to ask you a question but she had already started walking down the hall hey wait i cried out to her but she didnt stop... i thought aww man now what when suddenly i heard a scream (which turned out to be a whistle in a footy game on tv) i flew out the window and got to the yard and saw charlotte hanging on for her life in a whirlwind so natraully i ran to save her the dream gets blurry and i find myself in her room so i ask her again what do you know about me that i dont she replyed i know that in a year you will fall in love with a girl named claire... suddenly i was in my nanas spare bed where i went to sleep!! finally (oh god i love charlotte)!! task complete!
