Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of April 2008

Robot Butler, that sounds like it was great

I think I completed the Basic task...

I was lucid Im very sure, but I had a VERY hard time controlling myself. The whole dream was basically a chain of 3 or more false awakenings. Since I was having trouble controlling myself, I kept yelling "control" out loud(need to read about control). I tried to get to my closet, but my body kept holding me back. I managed to grab the doorknob and pulled the door open. I actually opened the door so I can leave the house to go to a forest, but the closet was filled with clothes that piled up to the ceiling.

When I actually woke up from the dream, I wasn't too sure if I was still asleep since I so many false awakenings in one night.

For some inexplicable reason in my dream, my closet had a bathtub in it. As for riding a tsunami, I'll pass I'm not a huge fan of the water as it is.

Maybe that bathtub in your closet was there to scare you then? Was it filled?

Maybe you caught your closet monster in the middle of a bath and he didn't have time to get rid of the evidence. Hey, I saw Monsters Inc. I know how these things work.

im sure i can do the first task...If i can even get lucid....

i usualy get lucid about 3 times a month

Digital, we need an exert of your lucid dream, not just what was in the closet.

I don't know if this counts as completing it. But last night i managed a fluke of a WILD. Here it goes.

I was in bed and i don't know what happened but i blacked out and reawoke feeling rather numb, so i laid still. I lost my focus and then i must have fallen asleep, i then awoke in my bed. I did a nose RC just in case and i was dreaming, i became lucid and got excited, but i remembered the lucid task so i quickly jumped out of my bed.

However the creepiest thing is that since i'm in a bunk bed, i normally hiy my head on the top bunk, but this time my head went straight through it and i saw this weird liquid wood dripping down after i moved through it. I then looked at my finger and i had some of the liquid on me and it began to spread up my body and take over. I tried to stop it by summoning fire to burn it away. But that failed, i started to become hazy and i could tell the dream was fading.

I fell to the floor due to the weight of the spreading wood and i looked under my bed to see myself getting sucked into a void of darkness and many dark red colours. It was like some strange ride you would go on at disney land, but i felt things getting strange until i awoke for real.

If a void under the bed counts as an object, then i did it.

I'm surprised this even happened at all, it all happened so fast though which was annoying since i really wanted to do more in this lucid, its the first i've had in absolutely ages, the vividness was notibly good also. The wood bit reminded me of that bit in the matrix when neo touches the mirror and the glass begins to spread up his body. It was quite scary though since my body was hardening completely as the wood spread up my arms. Luckily the collapse allowed me to spot the contents of under my bed, well, not the contents, the void!

So what do you think, did i achieve the task?

A void is technically an object (of sort)

I say voids count I'll go get your wings. That wood things sounds creepy, kind of like the blob.

Lol, funny you say that about the wood, i compared it to the matrix and just looked at your sig with the quote from the movie Creepy...

Haha, it wasn't too bad, there was a bit of fear since it felt like i was slowly being trapped without being able to do anything, but i wasn't worrying too much since it was a dream, i was rather disappointed that the fire didn't work. It didn't even appear

Maybe tonight may hold some more lucids. Bah, i'll never be able to complete the advanced task, the lucid last night was rare on its own. But its given me the motivation to keep on at it and hopefully get some more lucid dreams.

whooo! i did the first task.

So I was flying around, and obviously i got that major hint that I was dreaming. And I was in my room, which had gotten way larger and almost a museum type place, but stilly my room. I flew straight into my closet, expanding it. Behind it was a forest. A big. Dark forest. And a waterfall. I set myself down and my boyfriend was there (hes ALWAYS there ) but the problem was, he had his ex in the truck with him. I made her dissapear. -_-
So I got in the truck with him and we left. I woke up about this time.
(Didnt have much control in this dream)

Cool, Sounds like a Narnia kind of thing.

Daaaamnn. Both of these months taks have something to do with big fears of mine. One involving looking into dark concealed places and the other being treading water in the deep ocean.

I don't really know how i got lucid i just remember thinking "this is a very long dream"..."woah..its a dream"

i didn't do any reality checks or anything and the LD wasn't very vivid
first right when i realized i was dreaming I appeared in my bed.I thought "oh my god this is the perfect chance to do the basic task of the month"I immediately fell to the floor and looked under my bed.I figured their would be something really bizzar and funny under there.

what was under their:
1.the first thing I seen was my rock band box (way 2 big to fit under my bed)
2.I seen a rock band guitar that was broken in the neck
3.I think I seen several rock band guitars that were not broke
4.I seen some sort of Christmas ornimate ( it was like a glowing star or something)

when i got done looking under the bed all i done was kept saying those items over and over in my mind so i wouldn't forget them when i woke up.I was also thinking "im gonna write these down right when i wake up"

so..here i am Its 5:30 am lol
took me about 5 minuits to remember My LD after I woke up

Hi all, now had I spotted this thread before last night, I might have attempted these tasks as I was lucid for a long time in the early hours of this morning. I did look in the mirror and saw that I'd become former Blue Peter host John Noakes! LOL! I hope I don't find him under my bed...

I will report back later.

I've decided that now the basic task is out the way i am going to go for the advanced task regardless of its difficulty, if i can achieve lucidity for long enough i reckon i can do it.

Lets see what i can come up with.

Yea man! Here it is! Basic Task.

Exerpt from The Manga Den:

My friends disposition suddenly changed, at first I didn't know why, but then, I had a dream flash back! It was short, I was laying on a different cushion, and I was behind on of the couches, This on resembled where I sleep on occasion, I looked underneath it, and saw another book of manga, so I reached for it, and once I get it out, the clumsy guy spills tea all over it! I was pissed!

Might be a little long but here is my attempt at the basic task:

I wake to a FA like I wanted from the dream before this one (it was another LD but I was not at home). I am not able to move all that much, but I am able to move my hand. I struggle with my self to do a RC even though I know I am dreaming. My nose plug check comes back positive that I am dreaming. For about a minute I just lay there knowing too much forced movement will wake me up. (I know this from lucids I had as a child before I knew they were lucids.) I remember a few lucids before this where I had this problem, but was able to solve it by looking at my hand, so I moved my hand into view and just stared at it for a bit. Soon I feel the dream start to take more of a solid from and fell, I test moving and I can.

Remembering the TotMB (Task of the month basic) I get out of bed, but I head to the light switch so I could see what might be in the closet, but it does not work (as I have not mastered light in my dreams yet.), but there is a faint glow now. Not really caring about the light (as I am starting to feel the dream slip a little bit) I rush to the closet and slid the door open. As soon as I slid the door open there is this flash of white-blueish light. When I look inside the closet there is nothing there but bare walls. I am very disappointed by this fact.

Being disappointed by the fact there was nothing in the closet I deiced to look under the bed to see what I can find there. On my first look I am surprised to see some of my stuffed animals and toys are having a party under there. I look away and back again to still see the party going on. At this point my (child size) jester asks me if I want to join in on the party. I kindly decline telling him there were other tasks I wanted to try. When I get back to my feet I look over at the closet again. This time I see the doors are no longer there and there are now baskets of cloths stacked in it.
Before I can remember what other tasks I wanted to do I wake up.

Oh, man. You should have joined the party!

I remember trying the basic task last night, but I somehow completely forgot the dream. I only remember one scene of a teenage girl brushing a huge lion's mane. They were discussing their sex life pretty explicitly (and disturbingly considering the lion/ young girl matchup). There was something about the lion hating to shampoo his mane. It was all greasy and nappy.

I think this was some strange perverted Narnia reference with the closet, but I can't remember any details. Maybe Its best I don't remember the details.

Don't worry guys, your wingies are coming, it appears that Seeker is busy. In the mean time you can have these :

Haven't done either task this month, but I had my most successful intentional WILD a couple of days ago thanks to the motivation I always knew I could WILD at will but now I'm getting needed practice, so I'm pretty excited.

Once in my dream I started to attempt the advanced. I was out floating above the ocean at night summoning the waves higher. My plan is to ride the tsunami out in the open ocean where it won't have to be so large and I'll have more control. But I got distracted and didn't finish.

So it counts if I've done a task previously? Because I looked in the closet of my childhood bedroom in an LD in February. Although it wasn't my intention in the beginning to be looking in the closet. I just happened to find myself in the room and was looking around in amazement because everything was in its place just like in reality.

I woke up this morning, went back to sleep and managed to have two lucids in a row. Unfortunately, I had a few dreams after them before waking properly so I can't remember them too well.

In the first dream I became lucid outside. It may have been snowing, but I'm not sure. I remembered the task and started looking for a house, after all you're not likely to find a bed or closet outside are you? I must have found one because the next thing I remember is being in a small, very messy, very blue room where three people were playing cards. There was a bed in one corner, so I went and looked under it. All I could see was an odd blurry blackness. It was almost a complete absence of anything. Disappointed, I told the card-players but they seemed to ignore me.

In the next dream I 'woke up' in my bed. The fact the bed was in my old house, which I haven't seen for years, made me realise it was a dream. I got out of bed and looked under it but all I saw was more bed. The style of the bed made it practically impossible to see anything under it so I gave up and decided to go on an Adventure. For some reason I went on said Adventure in my pyjamas and matching slippers. (Blue with cats on.). The rest of the dream was spent talking to goths and getting supplies for my airship. I don't know the airship came from, but I had one. And it was called Zoot. The End.

I also remember standing in front of a closet thinking 'I wonder what my subconscious will show me?'. But I have no idea when the hell I dreamt this or what happened next.
So, how did I do?

So I WILDed and started to see some HI. I was riding in the passenger seat of a jeep with no top and i could feel the wind blowing. I think I tried to enter the dream too early and I failed and lost the HI. So I kept at it and I got some HI of a street by my house so I decided to try to first use all of my senses before trying to "jump" into the dream. so i looked around and felt the wind. This time though I decided to eat some berry off a tree so I could use some more senses (touch and taste). So after that I was fully in the dream and lucid. I looked down the street and a massive wave started to come right through the downtown area. It looked like it was going to be 50 feet when it got to me but when it reached me it was only like 20 feet. I let it engulf me so I was underwater, still on the ground. Then I levitated to the top so i was standing on the top of the wave. I rode it for a few hundred yards before it died down and I was left on dry ground again. Then some DC was talking about how the tsunami was prophesized (I wish I had spell check) in some pamphlet she had. Little does she know it was me who caused it MWHAHAHA!

I don't have time to copy and paste it on here, but there's the link for it.

EDIT: Here's the dream entry for those who do not wish to click on the link:

Minoan Sacrifice-
Ocean blue, sky freshly awakened, and a complex, yet minimalist wooden tower. What in the world was their relation to me? Everything. A girl in white toga, tied and struggling away from two men, twas me, trying to be free. They needed me up on the top of the tower, where an elaborate contraption made of silk and feathers would sacrifice me to a Greek god. [Hint one I was dreaming, the second hint? I wasn't scared for my life, as weird as that may seem.]

It was beautiful, it was tragic. Though I was but a sheep to be slaughtered, even I had to admire the simplistic aesthetics all about. No land in sight, a good thousand feet above water. Yet the blue hues and natural browns, along with the cream accents made it so serene.

We reached the top. I knew I would die if I was allowed to be killed in the traditional manner. No escape, no chance of surviving. Just as well I knew the rippling waves would not break my body, that though I should die an instant death, I would not. [I have no definite idea when I figured out it was a dream, but I did.]

The ultimate test was about to ensue. I was untied. I sprinted right off the tower. Not an experienced diver in the least, I merely belly flopped in, knowing that the pain and impact would kill me if I was wrong. I doubted myself, and yet, survived.

Not remembering both tasks, but knowing one had to do with tsunamis, I thought of this as the perfect get away. I summoned up a tsunami, it was a tame one compared to the horrors of recent years witnessed, but strong enough to destroy the tower and send me off to Minoan islands.

Unfortunately, I forgot to kill off both of my captors, and one survived the tsunami. He tried -with a log for a boat- to catch me, so I enjoyed manipulating the waters further and surf along, still sitting, clothes dry, as he (vainly) attempted to catch up to me. I think at the end of the dream I accidentally drowned him....

[And I didn't do Rome for the review, that was Inevitable's job....] Oh, I remembered when I became lucid. When I looked out into the ocean, the beauty was so breath-taking I knew it was surreal, sure I had doubts since my life was on the line, but it was worth going with my gut instinct.
