I have the ability to taste smells. A good thing when you smell something good, but if someone farts.... >.<

Everybody always looks at me wierd when somebody says,"Do you smell that?" and I respond,"Yeah, it tastes horrible!"

An estimated 1/6,000 people can. Yay statistics!

a lot of statistics are a load of crap.

I thoght everyone's sense of smell and taste were closely related like that... but I guess I'm just thinking about it in a different way.

So I actually remembered to do the basic task!
right away i knew i was lucid, i was in my grandmas house.
i saw a dark greenish pillow and took a bite out of it, to my surprise it tasted really good.
it had a powdery consistency in my mouth and tasted like grape.
i think i got that taste because i read other peoples results on here.

Completed the basic task this morning:

I look around the room. It's dark, but some moonlight coming through the window gives me enough light to see. I shout "Increase lucidity! Increase clarity!" Nothing really seems to change, so I just begin idly rubbing my hands together. I immediately remember a lucid task: eat something inedible. I look down on the floor and see a pair of my own boxers. I pick them up, take a big bite out of the side, chew it up and swallow it. It's surprisingly easy to eat, but it doesn't have much of a taste.

I did both tasks this morning.

I was in a sports stadium flying and climbing in the rafters. Then I remembered that I wanted to do the tasks of the month. I remembered that the basic task was to eat something inedible. I'm hanging off of a glass basketball backboard (? is that what it's called?). It looks too big to eat, but I figure I'll give it a try. I bite and crunch down. The glass crunches up in my mouth. It is really easy to eat. The texture it cool, but it has no flavor. I eat half of the glass backboard. Then I figure I'll work on the other task. But I can't remember what it is. I spend the rest of the dream eating random things: a blanket, a shoe, part of a wall.

I wake up and realize I didn't do the advanced task. I decide to DEILD, but I keep forgetting what it is. After the third dream of me forgetting I decide to DEILD while daydreaming, so I will end up in my dream already doing the advanced task. I daydream about climbing a giant beanstalk. After a few minutes I'm dreaming. I'm climbing a huge beanstalk. It is bright green and looks more like a 3-D drawing than an actual beanstalk. But I figure that won't make any difference. I climb it. The leaves work kind of like a ladder. I wonder why it isn't swaying in a breeze. When I turn and look around I realize I'm inside a giant building. The beanstalk grows up out of the floor. I continue climbing for a long time. Then quite suddenly I'm climbing up through the floor in a hallway. There are five rooms along the hallway. I go into the third. I'm starting to loose awareness at this point, but am still lucid. There is a cream colored blankent on the floor. I pick it up and eat it. It is cottony and hard to chew and swallow. It tastes like fabric softener.

Wow Seeker28, you went all out with the basic task

Short extract from my limited dream journal xD

"I looked at the painting i was doing and realised that my pieces wernt anything like this in my art class. BOOM! LUCID! After becoming lucid, i knew straight away the tasks of the month. I tried to find a beanstalk but there werent any to be found. I got frustrated and started to loose concentration, feeling my real-world body twitching back to life i grabbed a near-by rock and started chewing it, but all i could taste was silicon rubber, which i hate, and spat it out. after this i woke up"

hope it counts!! my first proper LD and a shot at a TOTM xD

Hehe, Niddiboy, if some of it stayed in your mouth, even a little tiny bit. I'm guessing technically it counts.

I had some silly and boring lucid dream where I was in my parents' living room. (I still live here, for the time being) Just out of the blue, I remembered the basic task of the month. I hurried to the kitchen to find something to eat. I was so excited over remembering the task that I almost woke up. I looked around for something suitable, But most of the items there were sharp and solid (like knives), so I had a hard time choosing. I spotted some thin cardboard (the kind used for cereal boxes etc) and decided to eat it. I ripped off a piece and stuffed it in my mouth. It was surprisingly easy to chew and swallow. It tasted a bit bitter, but other than that it didn't have much flavor.

Why would you hurry to the kitchen? Thats where real food is lol I'd stay away from the kitchen.

Anyway, these sound so fun I really want to try them out and will report back.

Pacman looks so good!
Cheers

Haha these sound cool!
I've only had one LD before ever but I'm going to try this if I ever go lucid again this month.

I find myself in my room...everything is blurry. I'm waiting for things to come into focus, but it's not really happening. I make a motion like I'm taking off my glasses...and it turns out I actually have them on. When they come off, my vision is perfect. I walk into the living room, and I see my dad in the kitchen. I decide on a more passive approach. I say "hey, you have that magic bean with you right"? He looks at me and says "I guess". I hold out my hand and it drops it in. It looks like a black eyed pea, but it has two eyes, and is a lot larger.

I went outside and planted it in the yard, and seconds later it started growing. It actually looked like a giant beanstalk opposed to the "tree-like" thing I was creating in my last lucid. I walked up to it, and told myself it was going to take me to a faraway land, and grabbed on to it. I started climbing, and it turns out the beanstalk grew up to the roof, and clung too it....so the only place i ended up, was on the roof.

Aww, yeah that one is really hard, I think only two people have completed it as of yet.

I usually don't remember the tasks when I lucid dream, but I've been able to remember, or trying to remember in the past two lucid dreams I've had.

In my first lucid I was in a kitchen and remembered the basic task. I saw knives and other uneatable things but for some reason I didn't try to eat them, I was looking for something easier.

In the lucid dream last night I was in some part of a house and saw a knife again, so this time I tried to eat it. I bit off a little piece and swallowed, but it just tasted like metal. I wasn't sure if eating a little bit would be enough for the task so I picked up a flashlight. So I bit into the end and swallowed, and it tasted like battery acid. I don't know what battery acid tastes like of course, but it was just chemically burning and gross.

You guys who eat stuff and it tastes good or like nothing are so lucky! The stuff I eat just tastes like how I think it would really taste.

you gotta b joking ninja.... like i even tried to do both, and eating does not imply swallowing... it is another step in the larger process of eating... this actually sucks, way to improve my confidence, i mean i try something, i do it, then because i didnt like the taste and spat it out doesnt count, i ate something inedible and and i tasted it....

mumbojumbo bullshit

also techniqally i did eat it, because i tasted it, meaning that my tastebuds recived some signals and therefore i ate it... also lets go to a molecular level, what is someone ate an atom.. which i did.. there was bound to be at least one rock atom on my dream tongue....

Lol, calm down! He's only saying that you need to swallow your food.

yeah but the only time ive become fully lucid in the past few months and it doesnt count as a TOTM......

No wait! I have information! You tasted the object, right? Then you swallowed some of it!

Ninja, TAKE THAT POST BACK!
