Thread: Lucid Task of the Month for June 2008

It's Alice and her cat looking in the hole from Walt Disney's version.

I did the TV task again last night. I was flipping through channels, but the only thing on was the movie Shark Boy and Lava Girl. The timing was off, so every channel showed a different scene in the movie. Most of the scenes were completely made up, but one or two were actually from the movie. I remember the scene where there was a shark bite taken out of the cookie.

I watched this movie a month ago. It was terrible, and I thought I had totally forgot about it. I guess this means I didn't completely waste 1-1/2 hours of my life. The movie is still in my brain somewhere connected to lucid dreaming.

lol, that movie sucks. But isn't it all about dreaming? It is all factually wrong, too.

I hope my sleeping brain remembers to do the rabbit-hole task! I've been excited about it all month, but for some reason can't seem to get it into my subconscious!

But, hey, if I don't get it done this month I can always do it next month for fun.

Last night in a dream I did the advanced task. But I'm not sure if it counts because I woke up just as I dove down the rabbit hole.

I was having a chain of repeated lucid dreams. In all of them I was in a desert with a woman and a baby. This time a dragon flew overhead. It was odd -- morphing shape and changing color. I thought this was a perfect time to try for the advanced TOTM. I forced the dragon to turn into a bunny. It was a little white bunny with red eyes. It ran away from me and down a hole. I could feel that I was about to wake up, so I chased it, sort of running and flying at once and dove down the hole after it as fast as I could. As I went down the hole (it was dark, with roots sticking from the walls) I woke up.

Did this count? Please?? I has a cookie...

Dreamers,
here my next try to dream the basic task. I'm lucid, but I remember only the task TV. I don't find a TV.

Look also the start from the dream, where I ride a bicycle with rabbit ears (Advanced task).


Here the dream:
I ride in a mountain landscape on a road to the top. On the right side is an abyss.

I ride on a bicycle, whose front wheel jiggle. By the time the jiggle will worse. The driver is changing, takes the form of rabbit ears. Then, when I was at the top of the mountain am almost there, disintegrates the bicycle in many headsize green balls, then dissolve. Only a light tire stays left. I take the tire and draw it by hand, until I reach the driveway form a big farmyard.

Here I have the realization from the task of finding a dream TV.
With the realization I awake in the dream. The environment is clarity and sharpness, even distant details can be clearly recognized. My posture is aimed at the same time I feel much more aware and more present.

I look quiet the area, then I walk in the yard with the goal of find a TV.
I see a door first, but then concerns that I just go there. What a different idea of the thoughts games from the Realtiät out dealing with this topic.

I run on, see a stable door. Look, if there is a TV seems somewhat unlikely (TV in the stable?). I decide for myself go to the door and turn me.

What starts the dream to destabilize.
I remember the anchoring technology. Find however, no clear detail, but a short memory pictures, which I do not connect.

Then I wake in the WL-body, remind me of the emergency plan DEILD and search a reminder detail that take me back in the dream. First again many unlclear memory pictures, then a clear detail. The picture is spreading, I am zoom to the picture, but I can not get into the picture and finally I feel to lose the connection to the dream.

2xWILD (2xWBTB), 4xDILD (1xWBTB)

Since it's the end of the month I decided that I'd better do the advanced task. I intentionally WILDed and had a really strange and long dream. For the rest of it refer to my DJ. Through most of it I actually knew that I was asleep but didn't know that I was dreaming. But for the rabbit part I created the dream so I knew it was a dream:

Imagining a rabbit is really hard for me and as a result the brown rabbit was very inconsistent: anytime I saw it it would disappear repeatedly, only reappearing with some intense effort on my part. The rabbit goes down it's hole which has a vertically oriented entry in a mound of dirt. I change into a squirrel (something I decided upon before I fell asleep) and follow it. I can see the rabbit's rump ahead of me taking up the entire tunnel and blocking me from viewing what's ahead as my tiny paws flash below, me propelling me forward. At some point I loose sight of the rabbit and everything gets dark, and pretty soon I feel like I'm falling. I land in a perfectly circular cavern below and I'm human again. For some reason I think that this is a fairy den (Legend of Zelda style?) and although I'm standing on a barren patch of dirt in the middle, there are flowers of many different colors encircling me. I'm not sure, but I think that I'm probably supposed to catch the rabbit for the task so I walk into the flowers and reach down to pull the rabbit out by it's white tail. I'm not sure that I actually saw the rabbit when I pulled it out, it's more like I imagined seeing it . . . I know that doesn't make any sense, but it was like I had a vision of what I wanted to do and imagined how it would be and then when I did it I didn't actually see the rabbit. But the rabbit was a really unstable forced imagining anyway . . .

Wow Seeker, looks like you induced the dream by posting about wanting to have it.

I seem to have waited for the last minute again to try to get these done. I believe I got the first one done. But I'm not sure about the advanced because there wasn't actually a rabbit that I followed. But it feels good to have tried. I was thinking I had missed out on this set of Tasks.

Starting from the lucid moment:




But I suddenly remember that I really should be trying some Lucid Tasks. I remember thinking for a moment, trying to remember what they were. I then flew into the other room which was a kitchen. There is a TV set on the counter. It's on and I start watching it. Then it hits me, "This is it! I need to remember this." I sat there watching and trying to remember all the details. But all I remember at this point is that it was some kind of News Talk Show. There were three people discussing the subject, which I believe was "problems youth have in today's society". Two of them were women and one was a man. The only one I remember any detail on was one of the women who was young, beautiful and black. She had long hair that was braided into hundreds of little braids.

After watching the TV as long as I felt necessary, I flew outside. I started looking for holes on the ground. I couldn't remember at first what it was that I was looking for but I knew it had to do with holes. Then I remembered--I was supposed to go into a rabbit hole. The ground below me was covered in little holes that were big enough for little mice or gophers. I didn't think any of them would work.

Then I looked over into the neighbor's yard, and under their apricot tree was a large hole. It looked big enough for a rabbit. The hole was divided into two sections. One had a long roll of chicken wire going down into it. I didn't think that I could fit in the center of that roll. So I chose to try the other hole. It was more open. I saw that it went directly under the tree and through to the other side. I dove down inside. I could see roots from the apricot tree poking out into the hole. I had a camera with me and started taking pictures of the inside of the hole. For some reason I thought that I could document the experience better by doing that.

I went all the way through the hole and back out the other side. I then wanted to document the experience one step further. I pulled out a notebook and started sketching the tree.


At some point here I lost lucidity.

I did the basic task! I know that doesn't sound too impressive but I'm a rookie. After all, it was probably only my fourth LD. I'm surprised I remembered to do it.

Well I was having a dream that was kind of boring and for some reason was based off an anime story. I was a sort of substitute one of the characters. I ended up becoming lucid, maybe because I knew I was already trying to control the story. Once I was lucid everything changed so the scenario was just me at my school, which was empty for some reason. I just walked up and down the hallways and tried to do weird stuff, like melt through the floor to the floor below. (This was sort of successful, except I ended up in a different room on the same floor.)

I'll go ahead and cut to the task part, since not much else happened in the dream anyway.Toward the end of the dream, I somehow remembered to do the TV thing while in the dining area of my school, which for some reason in real life has flat screen TV's. I walked up to one and watched the program. It was just like some documentary I had seen the previous night about the making of katanas, except there was some random white person standing in the middle of the picture, perhaps to explain what was going on. He looked weird and out of place because everyone else on the TV were japanese people making swords. He kind of reminded me of a news reporter. I decided to talk to him through the TV without leaving the school's lunchroom. I said to him, "You know, this is a dream, right?" He stared at me through the TV and said, "No, it isn't." And then everything went dark and the dream ended.

So, there you have it. I didn't realize that I would be having so many LD's that week. I'll shamefully admit that I wasn't doing dream recall exercises or anything, because I felt I wasn't ready to try them yet. But it seems that my dreams are ready and have jumped the gun, so I might reconsider.

I am totally going to try the tv one tonight, cus the rabbit..yeah i dont see many rabbits in my dreams. Hope i remember it!

Wow, everyone comes through with great dreams at the last minute. I never managed to do the rabbit task. I'm a little disappointed, because it sounds like people had some cool experiences with it.

You seem to have the badge

Interesting. I didn't even see that. Well thank god I drew attention to it and embarrassed myself.

lol it's cool, you are a dream guide. You can do anything! I like your avy, by the way.

Thanks, it is an old M.U.S.C.L.E. figure, if you remember those. My girlfriend bought me a ton of them for Christmas a couple years ago. What a great gift!

Looks like I waited for the very last minute on this one.

A nap LD.

It started with me walking down the street (N.N.) I suddenly felt really tired so I climbed onto a truck that they were using to do road work and went to sleep.

I "awoke" to find that they were loading all the trucks onto bigger trucks to haul away. I was so embarrassed to be caught sleeping on their equipment. I slowly got up and snuck away even though I knew they were watching.

I walked toward the edge of town. Suddenly I had this floating thing with me. I have had these floating things with me before in dreams. Usually I wrap both of my arms around them and let it carry me up into the air.

This time I decided to do a handstand on it. This one was shaped like a bar about 18 inches long. I found it quite easy to do a handstand. It reminded me of how it feels to do handstands under water.

So while gripping on to it upside down I let it take me off the edge and out over the desert. I then had fun for a moment playing with the land below--first making it appear close, then making it appear very far, like I was way up in the sky.

Doing this, suddenly made me lucid.

I thought again about the Tasks. I knew I had this one last chance to find a rabbit. I didn't think it could be too hard. I hadalways had pretty good luck looking for things to appear, then finding them.

I was then in a backyard. I looked around. I saw a place that used to be a flowerbed against the garage. There in the dirt I saw some fluff. I went closer and saw that it was two bunnies. They were both quite small. One was tan and the other a mottled grey.

I picked up the grey one. It was incredibly soft. I don't think I have ever felt anything as soft as that bunny in my whole life. I held it close to my face and rubbed my lips and cheeks against it.

I then looked around for holes. I saw some really tiny ones that looked about wide enough for me to stick my little finger in. I then decided to take control and just make one big enough.

At that thought it was a lot bigger. The entrance was filled with what looked like dryer lint. I started pulling large quantities of this out. When it was finally cleared I, still holding the bunny, went in. I felt that as long as I had the bunny with me that should count as "following" it.

I followed the tunnel for a couple yards, then it opened out. I could see that I had crawled into the crawl space under that garage.

I set the rabbit down and looked around. There wasn't much here. But I did see a box near one wall. I was curious. I opened the box and to my delight found that it was full of fossils--the little fish fossils. I knew that this box had been left by the previous owners, and that now I could have them (I must have been less lucid when I thought this). I pulled out fossil after fossil and and started laying them down on the ground so I could see the fish. Some were broken, but some were in really nice shape. I then decided to just grab the box and take it out with me, and that I would look at the rest when I got out.

Sorry, was busy.

Yay for Twoshadows! and everyone else.

*Takes away Robot_Butler's gold wings and replaces them with silver*

I don't understand... I haven't done these before. Do I get a wing thing? Or is it too late? From my timezone there is about an hour before July.

Aw crap, I forgot that July starts in an hour. You might get your wings for a few hours, it depends on when an admin shows up since I can't give them out personally.

Oh, thanks for replying. It's no problem really. It was just for fun.
Besides, it probably won't matter because I will soon go to bed.

lol just a tad late.. Which timezone do we go by? Its July 1st here, 2.24 AM (East Cost, AMERIKA)

Had two lucids this month where there was a TV but I didn't look at it in either dream.

I was about to in the second one but I woke up, oh well too late now seeings as it's July, I'll have to attempt the new ones when they come out.
