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.

Basic Task:
I am going someplace like the Florida Keys with my wife on vacation, where we have to take several boat rides to get there.
At first we are on a large boat like a ship that drops us off at another station where we have a catch a smaller boat.
While on the boats, I am carrying some kind of small pet in my hand like a lizard or a frog.
While on the first boat I am less concerned about my pet than I am after we board the second boat, as the second boat is much smaller and has holes in it where if I drop my pet I could lose it in the water.
For this reason I am holding onto my pet with both hands while on the second boat to make sure and not drop it in the water.
When a small kid asks if he can hold my pet I tell him no, because I am concerned that he might drop him.
He is upset about this until his dad explains to him why I refused to let him hold my pet.
When we get off of the first boat we are on something like a large dock where boats are arriving on both sides of.
We are looking for our next boat on the right side of the dock where 2 or 3 boats have just arrived when I see the boat we need, which had a number 69 on it, arrive on the left side of the dock.
We walk over and get on our boat on the left side of the dock.
This boat is much smaller than the ship we just got off of and is going a lot faster.
I watch the water as we go blazing through it, holding onto my pet with both hands to make sure and not drop it in the water.
After a while our boat slows down as we approach a dock where we get off at.
We seem to be on some sort of island where some actors who are all dressed up are putting on a play.
When I look at a map that I have in my hands I realize that we must have taken the wrong boat, so are now at the wrong place, as it seems like we should have taken boat 35 instead of boat 69.
I am trying to find someone who can give us directions on how to catch the correct boat, but everyone is so busy that no one has time to talk to me.
When we go into some kind of business I see a gal that I have known for several years working the cash register.
When I ask her if she could help give us directions she says she would be happy to since I have always been one of her mothers favorite people.
Before she is able to help us though, a bunch more people come into the business that she has to help.
People just keep coming in and waiting in line, keeping her too busy to help us.
I wait patiently hoping that people will stop coming into the business so that she will have time to help us, but it never happens.
She then has to leave, so apologizes that she was unable to help us.
At this point, because of all of the difficulty I am having, I question my dream state and try floating.
To my surprise I am able to float, so now realize that I am dreaming.
When someone makes fun of me floating, I tell them to try it themselves if they think it is so easy.
I then remember a task I had wanted to do, that of looking in my closet to see what is there.
I must have been a long ways from home because it took me a while to get back to my house.
Once inside my house I purposely avoid my own bedroom to keep from being pulled back into my body and float to an upstairs bedroom to take a look inside the closet.
To my surprise, everything was in place exactly like it is in the physical.
I then lapse into another vivid dream.
Advanced Task:
I feel myself lying in bed with a young lady on top of me having sex with me.
When I hear a voice warn us that someone is coming I try to pull the covers up over her, but am having a difficult time pulling them up, until I realize that they are already pulled up all the way, after which I just lay there and stay quiet.
I then realize that I have allowed myself to be distracted and that if I concentrate on floating I can probably float out of my body.
So I concentrate on floating and find myself floating out of my body sitting in something like a lawn chair while I float all around about 20 feet above the ground.
It is nighttime and a beautiful clear night with stars all over the sky.
As I raise my arms over my head and concentrate on one of the brightest stars I find myself flying toward it.
I fly past several other stars on my way to this star, which become blurs as I fly by them.
There are two other bright stars close to this star, but I continue concentrating on the star I had picked out.
When I fly past the other two stars they appear to be something like flying toasters as I fly past them on the way to the star I had picked out.
When I fly past the star I had picked out, it also appears to be something else when I fly past it.
I then concentrate on a task I had wanted to try of riding a tsunami.
As I concentrate on finding a tsunami, I find myself by several lakes and streams, all of which are very calm at this time.
I am still floating around in my lawn chair.
As I am floating along a stream I notice several men walking in what looks like a creek with their dogs.
I then concentrate on finding an ocean, and going back in time to a previous tsunami since there are obvious none happening at this moment.
When I do this, I find myself sitting on top of a tsunami in my lawn chair being tossed around, but mostly being rotated in a counter clockwise motion.
I decide that it might be more exciting to be standing up in my lawn chair while riding the tsunami, so stand up which makes me feel like I am surfing.
I then decide I would like to find my dog that we had put to sleep a couple of weeks ago.
As I concentrate on finding my dog I feel myself zooming down toward the ground in what appears to be a playground for dogs, as there are dogs everywhere of all sizes.
A large white dog with black spots notices me and is trying to play with me as I float down onto the playground.
As I continue to concentrate on finding my dog I am drawn to a doghouse that has a bunch of small puppies in it.
They almost seem like hamsters though because they are so small.
There I find my dog, although she is much smaller than she was in the physical, taking care of these puppies.
When I notice that their water dish is dirty, I find a faucet and clean their water dish out and fill it with fresh water for them.
Overtaken with joy from having found my dog and seeing how happy she is on the other side, I begin crying which brings me too much back into the physical and wakes me up.
