Lucid Tasks for the Month of May 2008

**Misbijoux** · 05-04-2008 04:23 PM

I attempted the Advanced Task. I'm not sure if it counts or not. It was a very weird experience.

The Malnourished Beanstalk

I'm walking down a familiar sidewalk, and notice my friend's husband is walking next to me. I look around and see old buildings, and see people walking along the sidewalk. I somehow come to the realization that I am walking down the Gran Via in Madrid. The shop I pass by says 'Cafe con leche y Churros', and a man with a green, ripped shirt is standing by the metro (subway) and asks if I want to buy some socks. My friend's husband gets really close to me, and tells me to forget it. He wants to go back to the room. I look at him and notice his eyes are brown (they are blue in waking life), and he grabs my hand. Something is not right. I look up at the sky and grey clouds are rolling across. I wonder if I'm dreaming, so I look at my hands. Both of my pinkies are missing. I stand there for a couple of seconds trying to decide what to do. I remember the tasks for the month, and remembered how I failed the basic one, and so I decide to try the advanced one.

A beanstalk. Where in the world am I going to find a beanstalk? I think to myself. I tell my friend's husband that I will go back to the room with him. My intentions are to go into the room, and then, when I walk back out, there will be a beanstalk in the middle of the street for me to climb.

We walk into a small hostal that overlooks a McDonalds. I walk up some stairs and into a hall. I tell D to just go into the room, that I need to check something out. I walk back down the stairs and out the door. I look for the beanstalk, and to my right, coming out of a manhole cover, I see what looks like a beanstalk, a skinny malnourished beanstalk. It's a brownish color, and it looks like if I was to climb it, it would break. I walk to it and touch it. It seems sturdy enough. It's really thin, a bit like a street lamp.

I start climbing it like you would climb a rope. I keep climbing. I look down, and the city starts disappearing. I climb a little bit more. I look down and the city has totally disappeared. When I look up, I notice what looks like an upside down street. As it gets closer, I realize it's the same city but it's upside down; it's like, somehow, I decided to climb back down backwards.

I'm a little bit perturbed, at this point. I get to the manhole where the beanstalk is coming out from. I look around at notice everything is upside down. The people on the streets are upside down, the cars are upside down and the buildings are upside down. Did I actually climb the beanstalk? I ask myself.

So, I decide to finish climbing it by going into the sewer where it was coming down from. I climb into the hole, and everything is black. I sit down inside and look out the hole. The malnourished beanstalk just dangles back and forth. I hear what sounds like a dishwasher. As I get up to walk around, everything slowly starts fading.

Now, here's the thing--I don't know if I actually climbed it or if somehow I climbed back down. Does that make sense?

My first completed lucid task!

My dream was like Pirates of the Carribean, but instead of ships on the ocean, it was horse-drawn carriges in the desert. We eventually escaped to Brooklyn, Ohio,

And I was like,"WTF, this is my backyard!" and I was lucid. I walked a few steps, then remembered the basic task. Eat something unedible. I looked at the grass, but was edible. So I ran to the side of my house, and took a chuck out of the siding. It felt like styrofoam, and when I ate it, it tasted HORRIBLE. I woke up right after I ate it, probably because of the taste.

Wow Misbijoux, that was fun to read. I'll count it since you never thought that you started back down. We'll say that you ended up in an upside down world.

**AlexLou** · 05-04-2008 08:02 PM

As I began to feel groggy I looked out of the cabin at the beautiful day. I saw two hunters returning from the woods and a bright sun in a clear blue sky. The meadow couldn't be more green. I tried to keep this all in mind as I closed my eyes for my WILD attempt; I wanted to climb a bean stock on a beautiful, bright day like this and climb to the clouds.

Now I was standing in a field of green and a bean stock stretched up to the sky before me. I began to climb and was a bit worried because I had started this dream so quickly. Was I all the way asleep yet? Was this really a full dream or an imagining on the edge of sleep? Well everything seemed to be solid and stable enough. I was just using my hands to climb and didn't need to use my feet like the last time. Sometimes it felt as if I were standing on an invisible platform, but I watched my hands reach hand-over-hand and pull. The beanstalk went so high up into the clear blue sky that I couldn't see where it went. For a while it seemed as if I might be getting nowhere, but then I noticed that the sun was a bit nearer. I seemed to be climbing straight for the sun! When I reached the sun it turned out to be a perfectly round hole in the sky just large enough for me to pass through. The beanstalk ended there, so I put my arms on the ledge and pulled myself up. I was standing on darkness. There were clouds blowing by a few feet above and I could see a plane in the distance ascending at an angle. There were also blue sheets of ice jutting out of the ground and I realized that I must be standing on dark ice. I tried to imagine clouds instead, but everything began to fade and I decided to let the dream go.

I woke in my dark bedroom and realized that the cabin before had been part of my dream. I only dreamed that I WILDed!

Funny thing after I woke up: as I went over the dream in my head I began to remember another bean stalk dream I had sometime in the last few days. I only remember flashes including a spiraling bean stalk going into the sky at an odd angle.

i had a bit too much fun with the basic task...
the first night i was at my uncle's house by the swing set.there are pebbles under the swings so i ate some. they tasted like marbles and chocolate rocks.they were actually pretty good so i ate a few handfuls...then i stood up and started to chew on the plastic covering on the swing chain, it just tasted like rubber so i tryed to eat the metal chain underneath but i couldn't because i was waking up and it was just hard cold metal.the same night in a different dream that i have no memory of except that i was eating a hockey puck.it tasted like coconut and was very chewy.a different night i was battling a random dc and after i had killed him i remembered the task. i took off a chunk of my samuri armour and ate it, it was like flaky pastry crust. next time i try the advanced task i waill try not to be the bean stalk...

That was one of the most entertaining lucids I've ever read Ray. Thanks for making my day.

Sounds like you tried to eat every inevitable thing you could, from pebbles, to the plastic covering on a swing chain, to the metal swing chain itself, to a hockey puck, to a chunk of your samuri armour.

Good luck climbing the beanstalk. I have a feeling you'll accomplish that one too.

**ninja9578** · 05-04-2008 10:43 PM

Nice one AlexLou, these beanstalks are leading to some pretty cool places

Last month I could never remember to do the task...

**samchestido** · 05-05-2008 10:01 AM

DOH!

I was lucid last night but I did the wrong task... I fell backwards of my balcony. Stupid me! Better luck tonight, hopefully...

**Creation X** · 05-05-2008 12:26 PM

ok!
I managed to do this one.

Code:

Basic Task - Eat something uneatable, tell us what it tastes like

I was flying around, and remembered I had a task.
so I flew down to a house, and I Chomped on someone's front door.
it tasted chewy, and I couldn't swallow it that well.
but I managed to swallow it! and then I had an aftertaste of something like sunflower seeds.
edit:sorry, a lot of this wasn't typed thoroughly.
if you want I could give you the whole story, I couldn't earlier because I was in a rush to get to school.

**bardsftw** · 05-05-2008 11:46 PM

So, I was in my living room, just summoning random stuff, when all of a sudden I remembered the tast. I figured I'd just let my subconcious create something, and a waiter appeared with a silver platter. I lifted the cover, and there sat a walkie-talkie. Long story short, I ate it, and it tasted like Reese's. It was the best dream ever.

**panta-rei** · 05-06-2008 12:37 AM

Yea Baby! Last night I had a dream where I was flying, and when I landed, there were feathers in my mouth. I pulled out one, but one of them I couldn't get out. I swallowed it, it tasted like cloth... But the texture was actually like feathers!

P.S. Nice Avy, bardsftw.

I can't get this feather out of my mouth... hmm, I'll just eat it! Lol.

**Enigmik** · 05-06-2008 04:41 AM

Ha! Im so doing this in my next lucid. This will be interesting I can't wait. I wonder if whatever I eat will be like the smell of something....

**seeker28** · 05-06-2008 07:57 AM

I have been close to doing the eating something inedible task a couple of times...arg. Hopefully I'll get it soon!!!

**Creation X** · 05-06-2008 12:16 PM

Ok, I managed to finish the advanced task.

I was super speed running on the ground, and I ran right into a tree. I looked up, and it went from a tree to a beanstalk at the top. I super jumped to the starting of the beanstalk and starting climbing up it as fast as I could. It kept going past the clouds, and finally I saw what it was connected to. Some kind of Island, And it was centered in the middle. I got up and the island was made of dirt and trees. It looked like a path through a small forest. It wasn't more than a mile long by eye sight, but I could never run to the edge, it just kept "stretching" on.

**kingofclutch** · 05-06-2008 03:05 PM

I did the basic task. From my dream journal:
I don't know if the dream just started, but I was walking around in my house with my brother and my neighbor. We went over to my family room which is right next to the kitchen counter. Then I thought, "Maybe this could be a dream?" So I did a RC(pinch my arm) and I didn't feel anything. I did it again to make sure and I again didn't feel anything.

My brother, for some reason, started bothering me and coming after me. So I tried throwing fireballs at him, but it didn't work. I just got that rush of excitement, but I didn't let it overwhelm me. I remembered that I wanted to complete the basic task so I looked around for inedible objects to eat. There is a ton of stuff on the kitchen counter in my house so I looked over there. There was a ton of stuff there so I just started grabbing whatever was there and sticking it into my mouth. I saw some marbles in there, some pencils, and many other things. I didn't really taste much and I don't think I ever chewed.

Then I left and wanted to do something with mirrors. So I started to run over to the bathroom. I got there and I was discombobulated. I looked in front of me where I thought the mirror was, but it wasn't there. I looked back and then I saw the mirror, but the dream ended here.

Ok. The 1st thing I done was this konths task -- so I ate the bed... all of it, it tasted of marshmallow, but each section tasted better the more I ate, but the pillows were nothing in comparison lol

Was really weird though.

**ninja9578** · 05-06-2008 07:45 PM

Your bed sounds yummy

HUZZAH! My first lucid dream too!

I ate a rock!

It tasted like chocolate and it had a raspberry filling. Please read more about my first lucid dream in the Lucid Experiences.

**Jdeadevil** · 05-07-2008 12:18 AM

If I had enough control I'd probably try and eat a person just for the sake of it, and the task of course.
