Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of March 2008

For fun I did the advanced too. I woke up from a lucid and just laid there for a DEILD.

I first notice it's extremely vivid. I go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. My face is right but my hands are missing a few fingers (all the except the middle) lol?

So I went to this computer USB cord and I made it wobble it's head and then stick out it's tongue like a snake.

After that I tried to play the piano but I couldn't so I just went outside. FIN!

I haven't had time to post it in my journal yet but I completed a lucid task a few days ago, my first of 2008!!


I may have completed both but I'll leave that up to the DV awarder of wings to decide.

I became lucid, made a giant bronze statue come to life by imagining it walking. The thing grew and went Godzilla on the city, destroying everything. It then came after me.
(bringing the inanimate object to life)

I didn't feel like fighting so I hid in a building, was chased out by the monster and then spidey leaped from roof top to rooftop until there were no buildings left. I was several stories high. I had no where to go but down and so I simply tipped off of the building and let myself drop to the ground. I landed in grass and bounced back up as if I'd landed on a trampoline.
(invincible?)

I don't really seem to be interested in writing things down in a dream journal unless they're lucid. And no, I didn't even approach starting what I wanted to do for the basic task, but I guess I should write about it here

The non-lucid portion seemed to be quite long, and I won't talk about it except that it seems to reinforce the idea that female nipples would be a good dream sign for me ..

Spoiler for Sgeo's Lucid Dream:

I saw some sign with large block letters protesting something or other with relation to the Church or something, I don't remember that well. I kept looking away and looking back, and each time, the first word changed, causing me to become lucid. As soon as I'm lucid, I find myself in my bedroom (I don't actually sleep there IRL), and try to get myself to float. I succeed eventually, and find my body horizontally in the air. I go to the door, and try to get through it with my hands. I get partly through, then on the second attempt I get through. I then find myself in the living room somehow (where I sleep IRL) and I go to try some RCs. The throat RC, which I have been habitually doing IRL, didn't work well. I think the nose RC worked well, but don't remember. I then thought about the Lucid Task of the Month. IRL, I decided almost as soon as I saw it that I wanted to fly into the Sun. So I float/fly to the front door, and try to dig through as before. I couldn't, and soon found myself waking up. I wanted to rub my hands together, but it felt as though it would rub my real hands together. I think that at that point I could see my real self.

Last night i Got lucid.
I was going to meet up with some students in a very big buiilding.
i couldn't find the right building, or the right floor.
i was getting more paniced and started to run around.
I could only find adults with papers walking slowly in their hands.
i asked in the recepiton if he /she (can'r remeber) knew where we where going to be, but he/she didn't.
i got paniced again and started to run around and look for them.
then i realized, wtf was i ´doing in that building? what were the grown-up doing?
just standing there with their papers ad walk around.
I did a hand RC and could just find 5 fingers, but i was pretty sure i was lucid.
i RCed again and there it was, my extra finger.
a small one like the one in scary movie 2 (i thing it is).
i walked to the stairs and was thinking of jumping.
it was very far down to the bottom of the stairs, and i still doupted if i would do it :p
i tried to levitate just to make sure it really was a dream, and it was.
i got some rope around my feet and sailed it to a rail close to the stairs.
i jumped down and almost got slammed in to the wall when to rope streched out.
i have always been afraid of heights so this was a scary thing to do :p

when i got out of the rope and back to the ground again i tried to levitate a groundhog, beacause i couldn't rememer if it was this months task or not.
*ah, i ersered all by mistake so i don't type it in that detailed*

I did the basic task.
As I get lucid, I started wondering what should I do, so I decided to do the dv tasks, I could only remember that I have to prove that I am indestructible, so I decided, that the coolest way to prove it, is to make some DC try to kill me.. 3 seconds after that I saw this angry looking women, so I told her that she is a whore, and she wants to kill me. She tried, but I could dodge every single punch she was throwing and the one that I actualy let hit me, didnt even move me. I think at least I left her impressed.
I am not sure if a fight counts, but that is all I could think of.

Way to almost get yourself killed.

Had a brief WBTB WILD this morning.

Was lying in bed (unusually large, in a dinner suit with the people I'd been debating with the evening before) when my alarm clock started ringing. It promptly grew arms and whapped its own snooze button. Being a dream, this failed to stop the alarm and I promptly woke up...

Didn't get round to the basic one...

Advanced task of the month completed.

You can read the whole dream here: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...064#post739064

Or you can just read the excerpt here:

I go up to my teacher and keep trying to have sex with her but I pull myself out of it and remember task of the month. I can only think of the advanced one; make an inanimate object come to life. So I hold up my hand and close my eyes. I wish for lord of the rings. I suddenly feel a weight in my hands. I open my eyes and put the book down, it's not lord of the rings. It's some book about wolves. Once again, I close my eyes and mutter: 'Come to life, come to life.' And behold, it does! It's got 4 little wobbly legs and the picture of a wolf on the front is moving around. It wobbles away from me on it's little legs. I walk off now and well, the rest of the dream I try to achieve sex. (I fail.)

I completed the advanced task! The dream is in the spoiler below, and I italicized that part about me completing the task.

Spoiler for Yosemine's First Completed Task:

(I fell asleep very quickly with the intention of becoming lucid). I started off in the living room. Just a few seconds here and I was lucid. OK... I got to get over these experiments. I began. I was supposed to test how hard it was to do certain tasks. First up for me was writing. I wrote down a sentence without any effort at all. Simple. I seem to have had my dream journal right in front of me, and I recorded down that I had done this task hoping that the text wouldn't change too much. I then read a sentence. I forget it, but I know that it made perfect sense and was very easy to understand. After writing that in my journal I then tried to draw a cube. It was difficult. I made an impossible shape; a flat cube. I have no idea how. I tried to replicate it in real life, but it ended up always working. Odd. I tried the second way I know and got a shaky, but correct cube. After recording that I hummed a little tune. Easy. Recorded it. Finally, (I was supposed to do six tasks and my stupid journal had five entries so I forgot about the "look and understand art" one) I said a "never before said" sentence. It was very easy. In fact... I quite liked the idea of being able to yell as loud as I wanted. I began to yell out some random phrases, and I heard my mom yell at me from upstairs to keep quiet.

Oh crap... what if I was awake. I'd be in trouble... I did the nose RC. I couldn't breath. "This is silly," I thought, "I know I'm dreaming. I can't let the dream become non-lucid because I thought that the nose RC wasn't working." I pinched really hard, and I was able to breath a tiny bit. Hmmm... well... let's see what's outside then. I walked into my backyard still clutching my journal. Without thinking rocketed up about 30 feet in the air and then began to flap. My journal was making it a bit difficult, but I didn't want to let it go for some reason. I looked down. Incredible! I didn't know I knew so much about how my street looked from above. Whether or not it was a completely accurate depiction it was quite amazing. I decided to stay rather low and not test my limits this time. From nowhere this huge, white, moss covered cross was sticking out of the ground (note: I'm not Christian). I flew just inches above it. I needed a place to let go of this journal. I could feel the air, but the journal was restricting it from one hand and sort of subtracting from the experience. For some reason I just couldn't think of letting it go!

I decided to fly over to my school to see how our track looked from above. I actually flew the completely opposite way to school, but I figured I was going in the correct direction in the dream. Instead of a school I got to a bed floating on some clouds. It was my bed. It had my lamp on it. I laid down my dream journal here. It just seemed right. Now I lost something in the recall. I somehow was on a street. My lucidity was a little muddy. This little kid was talking to my brother about failing school. After that, I regained all my awareness and decided to do some aerobatics. I flew up into a loop about 30 feet high. But a problem! I couldn't see the ground! I bumped into it with my head and gave a small bounce. I got up... ouch. It hurt a little. Just a ting. But still, pain! "Guess that means I am indestructible," I said remembering the lucid task. I walked a little laughing because it actually hurt. I realized that this task was not for me since it might result in some more serious pain.

I decided to attempt the "bring an inanimate object to life" task. I saw an old newspaper thrown in the middle of the street. "Err... live?" I realized I didn't know how this was going to work. I continued on looking for something better to bring to life. In the middle of the street I found a purple couch with wheels. The wheels being a source of motion, I figured it would be easier. I pulled it towards me and let go hoping it would continue on it's own. No such luck. I had a brief but powerful realization that I could do anything and tried again. Two white circles lit up on both sides of the couch. Eyes. It was coming towards me now. I signaled for it to follow and it did. "Good girl, come here!" I said to my pet couch. "Awww... good girl." I told "her" when "she" obeyed. Perfect. I saw my sister. I wanted to ask her some questions about being a DC. Of course, only the unoriginal "How does it feel to not exist?" came to mind. I asked her. She put on a very sad face. I was taken back for a moment before I realized and told her "But you can't actually feel sad!" Of course since she didn't exist she couldn't feel emotions. "You got me there." she admitted with a straight face. Then my sister began to complain about the whole dream world. "And it smells funny." I added randomly. She looked at me with an agreeable expression. I then woke up at 5:48. Two minutes before the alarm rang; definitely not a coincidence. I had been thinking about waking up also. It was as if I needed too.

I think I may have done the two tasks, here's the exerpt from my dream.

Basic Task:

So i'm up at the top of this block and I want to try using telekinesis. I'm point my finger at the cup and start trying to knock it over. It starts to tip but then all of a sudden I fall down and hit the ground hard. I didn't feel anything.

Advanced Task:

Then I wanted to try something different. I took the Zelda approach lol. I acted like I had a hook shot in my hand and shot it at an apple. The apple sat there for a second and then all of a sudden came to me. It actually worked. But then I went to try it on this pot of flowers. I did it and the flowers suddenly grew legs and a face and it ran away lol.

I'm not really sure about the advanced task because I didn't do it on purpose but hey, I still turned an inanimate object to life.

I don't know if doing it by accident counts or not Have get a second opinion. How far did you fall, you didn't say.

Eh, it was a good skyscraper size lol. About 100 feet idk It was far enough to kill me if I wasn't in a dream.

Oh ok, I'll PM Seeker for your silver wings, still waiting on conformation on the advanced task.

Yay, it counted! Soar high on your little wings.

Damnit...I dunno if this one is going to count or not. I mean, I actually committed the act, but the dream was already comming apart before I did it, so it's not like trying to kill myself is what woke me up!!!

I was really uncomfortable with it, at first, because I knew her boyfriend would be back soon, and that was drama that I just didn’t want. But, she said that they were swingers and that when her boyfriend got back, he could simply join in and she would take care of us both. Needless to say, I had no objections. So, I lay back on the couch and she started going down on me, which was phenomenal. After some time, she climbed up onto my lap and began to ride me. I then stood up and held her up by her thighs while she kept at it. Time went by and I ended up climaxing.

Her boyfriend never ended up showing up and so we were just kind of hanging out, afterward. While coming down, I began to feel everything unraveling. It was like the world was disintegrating before my eyes. Suspicious, I stood up and took a few steps, focusing my mind on levitation. My suspicious were confirmed as my feet slowly began floating up off of the floor. I had been dreaming. I stopped and looked at my hands, trying to stabilize the dream. I had gotten excited though, because my dry spell had been broken, and I could feel the dream continuing to unravel. It seemed that there was no fighting the fact that I would be waking up soon. I remember frantically searching my memory for what the tasks of the month were, and I remembered the “Prove You’re Indestructible” task. I was thinking: “How in the Hell could I accomplish that in the fastest way possible?” and the idea came quickly.

I ran to the kitchen. On my way there, her boyfriend was just walking in through the front door. My visuals were fading, and I was beginning to feel myself lying in bed. I threw open one of the drawers, grabbed a butcher’s knife and, just as my vision went black, I plunged the knife deep into my chest. It didn’t hurt, but I could definitely feel it, like someone punching me lightly. A few seconds passed and the feeling subsided. I was now staring at the back of my eyelids and had woken up completely.

(Damnit. I dunno if I’m gonna get credit for that one. I’ll have to see what Seeker says about it.

So mine from 4 days ago doesnt counts?

I'm not sure that letting someone "punch" you proves that you're indestructable. What do you think ninja?

I don't think so either, but you still have a week to do it. Have her stab you next time

Great tasks!

I proved I was indestructable the other night.
I was jumping around on top of cars on a highway, when something along the side of the road caught my eye (I do not remember what). I jumped onto the road, and stood still, looking at it. As I stood there, a huge truck crashed into me! It smashed to bits, but it only felt like someone shoved me. I then walked away. It was pretty amazing. I hope that counts as being invincible.

I did the advanced task last night in one of the most awesome LD's I've had in a while!

I kept reaching out and touching things just to feel them and how real they were, and continued repeating to myself “I’m Dreaming, I’m Dreaming, I’m Dreaming” so that I wouldn’t lose focus and lose my lucidity. Off in the distance, I noticed what looked like a tidal wave. It was standing some 100 ft high, but I couldn’t tell if it was coming toward me or not. In the back of my mind, I sort of “commanded” it to stay there, and it was more or less like a fountain – a wall of water that just sat there, in the distance. The water was a deep blue that looked more like dark blue paint that water. Wondering what to do now, I thought about the task. It took me a moment to remember what the other task was, and I finally remembered that I had to bring something to life. I wanted it to be good but I had no idea what I wanted it to be. I started walking around to see what kinds of things I’d have to work with.

There were a few old statutes here and there. One was of an alligator, but was really old and had grass growing around it. I was kind of weary, because I didn’t really want to give something life that was going to come after me and try to kill me. I was having enough fun without all that drama. I thought it would be cool to make a giant eagle come to life, but I didn’t have a statue of one. I tried to materialize one to have it fly in out of the sky, but the most I got, when I looked up, was a regular-sized eagle. I then remembered that whatever I gave life to had to already have been inanimate. Just making it appear wouldn’t count. Coming closer to the roller coaster, I looked in the lake beside it, and there was a giant stone hand that was sticking up out of the water. It was obviously a decoration, but it gave the feeling that there was a massive stone giant beneath the water. I thought about trying to bring that to life, but was kind of weary about what this massive giant would have been like, since I couldn’t see anything but its hand. Finally, I heard a voice over the PA system, advertising the roller coaster. It said something like “Come On Up and ride Hydra, the Water Dragon!!” I looked over toward the coaster, and found my target.

The roller coaster was designed to look like a blue dragon. Coiled around the track itself was a fake dragon body, which snaked in and out of itself and the trees around it, and came to a head that was down by the entrance. I was still kind of apprehensive, because this thing looked pretty damn fierce, but I couldn’t think of anything more badass to bring to life than a dragon. Heh. I didn’t have a really good vantage point to see the head, from where I was, so I flew up through the serpentine tracks, passing the coaster car, which had people riding on it, and sitting on a high platform that looked down at the dragon’s head. Holding my hands out, I focused on bringing the dragon to life. It was actually much easier than I thought it would be. The body of the dragon turned from a hard, painted stone, to thick, scaly reptile skin. I reached out and ran my hand across its body, feeling the scales beneath my fingers. Then I looked back at the head. The dragon, which had been mostly blue, turned into more of a red-orange color. It began moving its head around, as if trying to break free, but the struts and beams that had held the dragon in place, while it was a statue/decoration, still kept it held in place while it was alive, preventing it from going anywhere. With this extra security, I flew off of the platform I was sitting on, and landed on one a little closer to the dragon.

Remembering that I’d wanted to try interacting with DCs a little more, while lucid, I sat down and asked the dragon a question. It was something about the nature of DCs, but I don’t remember what I asked him. I don’t even know if I expected him to answer, but, surprisingly, it did. It had a very proper speaking voice, and sounded rather intelligent. A bit impressed, I asked it another question that I don’t remember, and it answered back with this really long response – something that seemed to be more of an attempt to sound smart by using the biggest words and concept it could (like talking about hypotenuses and isosceles triangles as if he was solving an algebraic equation), than anything else. But, I gave him in the benefit of the doubt as if he knew what he was talking about, even though I wasn’t quite sure he did. I think asked him another question, and he sighed as if he didn’t want to answer, or my question was too hard to answer. I actually do remember asking him why he didn’t want to answer that one. He sighed again with a big of an arrogant “Oh, God. Do I really have to go into all this?” sort of flair. He then asked me “Well…do you mind of I ramble on and on?” as if the only answer he would offer would take six years. A bit impatient, I laughed a bit and said “no no no…that’s alright,” and I got up and flew off to find something else to do. Shortly after this, I began to feel something moving, on my neck. I sat still and I felt it again. When I put my hand up, I couldn’t feel anything, but when I felt it again, I knew it was coming from the waking world.

(A bit freaked out by this, I woke myself up, only to find out that it was just the ring on my necklace slowly sliding down the chain and lightly dragging across my skin, because of my position. I was a little disappointed, but excited about the dream. Even though it was only 2 hours after I’d lied down to go to sleep, I got up and typed up my notes on the dream. Then I lay back down and tried to WILD, but failed.)

The beginning of the dream can be read here.

After almost 2 months of not so great lucids/recall, I finally had one of the most memorable lucids of my life.. below are the recollections of my lucid dream:

I realized that I was lucid but I couldn't see. It was like there was a heavy thick fog in front of my eyes. I reached up to rub my eyes and felt my glasses (which I never wear in my LDs). I take them off and my vision clears for a couple of seconds but then the fog rolls in again. I reach up and again remove my glasses and my vision clears again.. only temporarily. I start to get agitated thinking this was going to be how my dream would play out but I reminded myself to remain calm. I stated, "Clarity NOW!" but my vision didn't clear.

All of a sudden, my vision became crystal clear.. I recall trying to feel for things but I can't remember if that was the reason for the vividness I now experienced.

Now that my vision was clear I realized that I was a young man in this lucid but that fact didn't faze me at all. I also remembered the task of the month and that I had already planned on doing the advanced task of bringing something inanimate to life.

I see that I am in a small town and that there is a small house in front of me and decide that there may be something inside that I can use. I walk through the front door and am standing in the living room. I see people (mother/father/children) frozen in time sitting on the couch.. even the tv was still. I don't know why I didn't bring them to life but it never even crossed my mind to disturb this scene. I backed out of the room and went back through the front door.

I notice a small weather beaten cat statue curled up on the porch and decided that it would be the perfect thing to bring back to life.

I kneel down and stroke it saying "live" and I feel it become real.. fur instead of clay.. breathing. But sadly I also realized that, even tho it was now real, it was sickly, old and beaten down in life as it had been in clay.

I immediately felt sorry for it and decided that being alive wasn't enough.. that I had to "heal" it. I put my hands again on its patchy fur and said lovingly yet firmly, "Heal!". The cat took a deep breath, I felt it relax under my hands and I could tell that it felt "better". It stood up and scampered off the porch.

I walked off the porch and down the street. I saw another old cat and decided to heal it as well but it had other ideas. It took off and I ran after it. I cornered it in an open garage that belonged to the local mechanic. I slowly reached out and ran my hands over its fur soothing it while quietly saying "heal". Its heart stopped racing and it too grew young and healthy again.

As I watched it run away, I notice a teenage boy and his father watching me. The garage was at the bottom of a grassy hill and I don't know how word spread but as I looked up from the open garage door.. I see people coming with their pets. Some were walking them.. others were being carried by their owners.

My spirit willed them to "hurry" because I wasn't sure how long my lucid dream would last. As they began to file past me, I yelled for the last few stragglers to hurry.. to run.. to get here as quickly as they could.

When all had entered and had taken a seat on the garage floor (about 30 or so), I told them that I didn't know how much time I had and that I would need their help.. their energy.. their love to heal all the pets in the room.

I asked them to touch their pets and to say/pray the word "heal" with me and to believe it to be so.

I thought that I would stand in front of the crowd and merely throw my healing energy but I found myself drawn to try to physically touch as many animals as possible before the dream ended.

I healed each animal laying my hands alongside their owners.. animals that could barely move began to jump in their owner's arms. The most memorable healing being that of a dog with glaucoma who's milky eyes ( http://farm1.static.flickr.com/3/5969571_5e094623f7.jpg ) slowly turned their normal color again.

When all had been healed and the garage empty except for the man and his son (who I by now had figured out were the owners), I sat with my back against the garage wall and took out my pen and notebook. I explained to them that I was dreaming and that if I didn't write this all down I would surely forget alot (if not all) of the details.

The man thought it strange.. but his son (who I gathered was kind of lazy) simply said, "Hey! He healed my bike!" and spun the back wheel while we all laughed. And while laughing.. I felt the dream end..

Once awake I went over the dream in my head realizing that I've rarely had a more satisfying dream.. lucid or otherwise. I could still feel the various textures of the animal's fur, the look of gratefulness in the eyes of the pets and their owners and I could still feel the warmth of the love in that garage.

I thank the angels of pure white light for this dream.

Happy Easter.

Oh oh, heal me! I hurt my leg
