Thread: Lucid Tasks for the Month of May 2008

I wonder how many here actually just write fiction rather than dream experiences.
Eg.:
I managed to do the beanstalk one.
Whilst I had to cheat a bit (I did not find a beanstalk but summoned one after becoming lucid), I climbed up to find, you guessed it, a portal.

Went through it and somehow I ended up in a street with a hole where the beanstalk came from (though before entering it the street was nowhere to be seen in the sky)
After jumping from the beanstalk on the street there I thought the streets were empty but I got attacked by demons lolz, big firefight ensued. and I woke up in the middle of it (not due to death or w/e, my dream just shut down).



Sometimes I think that if I could make movies of my dreams, I'd be superrich. (Not related to the text above lol)

Well that's a little bit uncharitable... it would be disappointing to think people would abuse the "honesty system" this is based on.

But if people do abuse it then that only means they get an avatar. They DON'T get the satisfaction of accomplishment. They don't get the very real memory of the dream and the feelings associated with it. And that is the real reward.

I joked with my friend that I had accomplished the (basic) task of the month but there were only a few days left to wear my wings and we had a laugh about it. But the feeling of how cool it is to do something in your lucid dream that was suggested on a group forum like this is awesome.

I think these tasks of the month are a brilliant idea and I hope they keep it up. It's very generous of the moderators to monitor this for us and make it so much fun... it must be a lot of work.

It's not as much work as you'd think

I just discovered this site and have been reading a few guides...I actually have been getting into SP for a while and didn't know what to do with it. Instead of going with the flow and gradually transitioning into a dream, I freaked out and tried to wake myself up as fast as possible.

However, I've been really close in an OOBE experience these past nights. I was actually doing it this morning until I was awakened up by my alarm clock. Hopefully I will be able to complete next month's task.

Congrats to all those who succeeded this month!

You still got another day to do it, there are 31 days in May Do it tonight

There is a big surprise coming on June 1st relevant to the TOTM... what could it be?

Oh... well... thank you anyway

Your welcome, I feel appreciated

Ok i slept for 15 hours last night trying to get one of the tasks done and managed to do the basic task.

Ok I went in an out of REM 5 times last night (that i remember and wasn't having to much luck becoming completely lucid. After the third phase i woke up and thought "i'm doing really pants tonight!" but then i drifter into sleep with this thought on my mind. Then i was like "wait i'm asleep, those black blocks are new and the fact i'm in a cave is suspicious" so i was like yay i'm lucid. So i was thinking what do i do now "fly.. no to lame, summon someone.. can't think of anyone, blow something up... yeh sounds fun, no wait there was something i wanted to do?" then it occured to me as the image of a packman flashed through my mind yeh eat something so ate grabbed a matt finished block from a small pile to my left and ate the corner and i got the wierdest sensation as the part i bit off sort of disintigrated outwards into little spheres and light through the edge of my face like I wasn't there and a taste of sherbet spred through my mouth, then i think i just drifted into normal sleep again. But WOW! that was so wierd and satisfying, if anyone else sees a black, matt finished, block while there dreaming eat it!

Ok now i didn't do it before june the 1st cause i'm GMT and his happened between 6-7am on june 1st so i'm just out but still that was fun and i'll try again next time .

Oh, well, next month's tasks are fun too.
