Lucid Tasks for the Month of May 2008

Introduction:
This topic is for the Lucid Tasks that are voted on by experienced dreamers. Please attempt one or both of these tasks throughout the month.

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.

Tasks for this month:

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

Advanced Task - Climb a beanstalk to another place, tell us what you find

*Simply climbing a bean stalk is too easy, so you have to actually get somewhere. I can be a canopy within the beanstalk, or a cloud land, but you have to be in a place where you can walk away from the stalk.

I don't mind if you fly up the majority of it if it's really tall, but you should do some climbing.

Ate Something Inedible: (4/25/08)
I then find myself in a desert location where I think of another task I wanted to try of eating something inedible to see what it tastes like. As there are insects crawling all over the ground I think about eating a couple of them, but then realize that they are perfectly edible in certain parts of the world, so decide not to eat them. I then realize that the sandy ground I am standing on would be a perfect thing to eat for this task, so take a big handful of it and eat it. It really tastes all right, sort of like a bland protein powder, so I eat 2 or 3 more big handfuls of it.

Sounds good... damn you, I liked being the first to get the task done :( I'm going to WILD tonight and try to get it do.

Ooh, nice tasks. I've gotta got my lucid dreaming skills back, I've only had one this month.:(

Damn, last night I had 4 lds:?, the first three were not wery good though, not wery long I mean, but still:). The last one was probably the coolest one I've had so far. I wild:ed into a shower because of the rain outside my window, funny thing as there was no rain at all, only a hypnogogic one. However I found myself in a hotelroom on the top floor of a large tall building. It rained outside it's window too, I think this is my problem with rainmaking; rain is for me more about the sound than of the actual rain since I'm mostly inside when it rains, going to elaborate with this in my next dream. I of course opened the window and steped up on the windowshelf. This was probably the most beautiful wiew that I've ever sean, no kidding:)! I let myself fell out of the window and into the rain for a bit before I started flying. I flew around for a bit and to a castle nearby, I didn't go in because it was more of a ruin but I flew up to the roof and sat there for a while. I then flew down and walked into a semi-european/semi-equatorian forest, there were white flowers growing on some of the trees and I picked one of and ate it, now I didn't know about the task since I haven't been logged in for a while so I don't know if it counts, however, it first tasted like grass, then a little sour and finaly like strawberries, yum:)! Then I walked in the forest for a while and came to somehting like an old sacrificing well, the dc:s around me were arguing about which one to send down first, I jumped down. It was filled with somekind of catacombs but it was so dark that I woke up.

Flowers are eatable :P Sorry.

I had a short lucid dream this morning and I remembered the basic task but also felt like I might wake up, so I bit into the first thing I saw which was someone's arm. It tasted rubbery and chewy, then I woke.

Did you get a chunk, cause eating implies swallowing? :)

Yeah, I remember having a mouth full of liquid and then swallowing.

Ok, then it counts :D

Yeah, I figured;), I want the beanthing anyways, no worries!:)

YES!!!sorry but this month sounds really fun.i am going to eat everything in sight tonight!:lol:

Both of these tasks sound like a riot. Now that I think it through, I'm glad the eating one won out. I'm planning to WILD tonight, so I will try to eat something ridiculous.

I can't believe you already completed this, Iadr. Sand was a good idea. I take back everything I ever said about you being lazy in Moonbeam's dreams :D

Me too because I got PacMan on DV :D Next time I'm lucid I'm going to try and eat myself, I wonder what will happen when I get to my own head :?

YAY! i completed it but i am going to wait until may to post my unedibles.i am going to do it over and see what else i eat tonight.:D

I ate clouds. :D Unfortunately I don't remember doing it specifically for the TOTM, so I'm not sure it counts. In any case I'm gonna try eating something else.

The other thing is I was disappointed that the clouds didn't have any interesting taste to them. So I want to try it again. But here's my attempt anyway. :P

---------------------

Excerpt, Night of 4/27

The rain felt good and so I telekinetically pulled the rain clouds down to the ground. As if in reaction, the rest of the dark clouds in the sky fled. A few white puffy clouds remained in the sky, and I took a couple of them down, too. I sat down on the ground and toyed with the dark rain cloud. It had the consistency of cotton candy and it had that ionized smell that rain always does. Made it seem tasty, so I tried some. Tasted pretty much like water, since it “melted” as soon as I put it in my mouth. The white clouds didn’t taste like anything at all. Maybe they didn’t have enough water in them to condense enough to taste like anything, I reasoned.

I remember eating clouds, mine tasted like water too :? It counts. Oh, come on ray, you know that you want to share it with us :puppydogeyes:

Okay, it's officially opened for everyone else. Let's hear those task! :D

Yay, did it! I climbed the beanstalk... So, I found myself at a trainstation when I got lucid, had been running from the police for a while and got caught, then I remembered I could fly and stuff and so the police became a somewhat smaller problem. I got onboard a train, then I remembered the second task. Tried to do it in the train but it didn't work and I almost woke up but focused in time on the beanstalk to get back into dreaming. I then found myself in a room, found a wateringcan and started watering the floor. I then sumoned a beanstalk from the floor, it grew into someking of clouds and I tried to imagine there being something up there. I climbed up and found nothing, it kinda looked like a loft of somekind but with clouds as floor. I jumped down and tried to imagine even harder, then I climbed up. This time there was a huge pile of pillows and so I thaught that there must be something behind them, and there was;). It was a wondow that worked like a timemachine and took me back to old feodal japan, sorta like turtles:P. I found a gigantic paperhouse and tried to sneak in, I had ninjagear now, funny huh, however I didn't since there was a samurai inside who kept opening every window I tried to sneak into, I then woke up.

Ah I just now read the taskdescription properly, hope this will count as being able to get away from the beanstalk:roll:...

Yay, you'll get your wings as soon as the old ones are cleared. That should happen any minute now.

These tasks sound incredible, they have really got me excited and eager to lucid dream again after my long, long, long dry spell. I'm soo going to that beanstalk one!

It's going to be sooo great!

(Just to clarify, I am not on any drugs, medicinal or otherwise)

I've PM'd an admin, the badges will be fixed soon :)

I think I almost completed this task, I was thinking of trying to eat lava form a volcano in Hawaii, but I don't remember if I succeeded, the dream was kind of blurry, and I wasn't able to fully control it. I'll give it another shot tonight =P

I climbed a beanstalk to the upper story of a building. Does that count?

Lol something uneatable? hahaha.
