Thread: Lucid Task for the Year of 2008

I attempted to go the Venus last night, but had to turn back. The only problem was that when I came back I didn't make the Earth that I know. Everything was backwards. Both literally and figuratively. The Sun and Moon both rose from the West instead of the East, but it never came all the way up. It would come up turn North and go down the way, and the next day it would go South. It was very strange. And although I enjoyed the experience immensely I know it doesn't count here so I'll journal it.

why can no one go to venus? like four people now have tried and failed. me thinks venus doesn't like humans...

I'm gonna try to go there next too. See you all there?

Haha! Yeah, okay then. If everyone doing this challenge has one big shared lucid dream on Venus, does it count as having "found life"?

Wow, yeah Venus seems like it's hard for some reason. goldentheponygirl made it though.

i am going to try to go to venus again to-night.hopefully i will succeed!

Everything in my trip to Venus was very forced by me so it wasn't very vivid. It resembled a daydream in many ways actually, except that the visuals were quite a bit stronger and I actually felt like I was there . . .

My husband had been in my dream so I took him with me as I started off toward Venus. For some reason I was using an umbrella to help us fly (I blame watching Avatar yesterday). I was wondering why we needed the umbrella but decided that it was helping us stay afloat since we were still in the clear blue sky of Earth's atmosphere. I was thinking of ditching it once we got into space since there would be no air-resistance but realized that since we were going toward the sun to get to Venus we could use it to shield our eyes.

I'm not sure that we actually made it into space before I spotted Venus, appearing much closer than it should be, surrounded by it's dusty pale yellow clouds. I teleported to the surface immediately, ditching my husband and simultaneously forgetting all about him. I looked down at the surface of the planet I was standing on and it was the same color as the clouds. I realized that the surface should be glowing red and when I thought this, patterns of cracks and random patches began to glow a very bright orange-red. The air in the distance was dark-grayish and hazy since the clouds completely blocked out the sun. I looked up at the yellowish clouds just as it began to rain. I watched rain-drops rush down to meet my face. When the acid rain touched me I dissolved. Me and the rain, now mingled together as liquid flowed together toward a glowing red stream of lava.

Venus runs backward. That's why I've had such a hard time getting to it. I had to get over the fact that not all things go the way I want them to go. Venus is really beautiful and bright. I found that one Venus day is approximately the same as about 2/3 of a year for us here on Earth. Everything, and I mean Everything ran Backwards. The pressure of the planets atmosphere was harsh. I imagine the the pressure is what a person would feel if they were standing unprotected under our ocean at a great depth. I was there at the end of the day and it was so weird looking at the sun set in the opposite direction. I was feeling the pressure of the planet, and thought to myself that if I was feeling this kind of pressure under water, I would go up and away from it. Since everything is backward, I went down and got away from it.
I encountered the people populating the planet and found that their coloring was so vivid that it hurt to look at them. If a Person (?) had flaming red hair, then it was flaming red- not kidding about the flaming part. The color black was so deep that it was like seeing nothing. There was no contrast of different shades, or shadows of black. It was just black. I felt very uncomfortable in this place because I was so not like this. I'm a perfectly normal person from Earth- okay not perfectly normal, but I fit in for the most part.
They asked me why we were always trying to spy on them and I explained that we were a very curious people and that we even went so far as to spy on our friends and neighbors. They thought it was rude. I tried to tell them that we were just a very peculiar race of beings and sometimes our curiosity overcame our good sense. They seemed to accept this. Of course, they really didn't feel that spied upon as they lived "under" and we really had no access to the under unless we figured it out.
I was beginning to feel uncomfortable there, and knew that I had other places to go. I thanked them for the visit, apologized for coming without an invite and left it to them.

venus!: finally...

not really sure this counts because i didn't really go there.i was already there because i was a native.there was only one species of animal type life on the planet but we could shape shift into any transportation mode we wanted.we knew each others minds and there was peace and understanding between us.(air,land, or liquid based bodies)i was in a liquid variation to start off because i was swimming through one of our many volcanic lead rivers.i dived down and went into this little passage that led back into the volcano.as i was coming back out one of my pages came and told me of visitors.i changed my shape and flew to the plains to meet them and recognized the space suits of Earth.as they spoke i changed my form into a human like structure to better understand their language.i then read their minds and gained a lot of knowledge concerning Earth.as i was doing so i noticed a very primitive,undeveloped telepathy system.i spoke a loud in their language to welcome them.there were four males and three females in the group.the leader was female and she came forward to speak and ask about our planet and anatomy.i had before serveyed their biological needs and created a dome of air they could breathe and a suitable climate for their bodies.we now walked along one of the lead rivers and i watched the facination play across their unmasked faces.i showed them our culture and people.however,behind their excited mannerisms i sensed contempt for the way we lived.i explained that we indeed did not build large structured shelters or have a belief system but our way of life was a good and happy one.i realized most of them thought of us as dumb beasts because of our foraging and lack of shelter or justice system.i got into an argument with on of the men over how we let our young 'blunder about' as he put it with out supervision.i bade them leave before one of them insulted us deeply out of ignorance and made us angry.however,i gave them samples from our planet to study back on earth.they included rocks,dirt,feathers from one of our dead,and some lead from a river.
i am pretty sure my dream ended there because i can't remember anything else. pretty wild huh?(i am now officially an alien)

Now three people in a row did Venus

Yeah, now it's your turn

I know, I know. I've only been to Mars so far I've still got 4 and a half months

I gotta think of a prize for completing this soon

you guys better watch out, i am going to smoke you! i am planning two planets to-night...muwahahahaha.don't worry its going to have to be in two seperate dreams.i'm not that good. I will get this done by the end of july!

You will accomplish this goal. Relax and enjoy the experience. You have plenty of time.

This looks fun but too bad I suck at Lucid dreaming. Hopefully I will have a chance in the 2009 task of the year.

But anyways good luck to everybody who is trying to complete this

It is fun. Really, really fun! You should try anyway; doesn't really matter if you don't complete it.

i know but i want to see if i can get it done by the end of july, just a little personal test to see if i can do it.

Mars:
i did it the proper way this time. i was in a nasa space mission to land on mars and collect data about the surface. i remember part of the training.i was i that big thing that spins around really fast(no idea what it is called.). (lol, i would be a horrible astrounaut.)we also had anti-gravity training which was really fun.it felt a bit like slow motion in video games. we had to do simple tasks in the anti gravity to get used to it.then it kind of jumped to us orbiting mars and getting ready to land.then it jumped to us on the surface and coming out of the ship to look around.we out and onto the surface.we bagged a bunch of rocks/dirt and studied the terrain.there were all sorts of features.there dry river beds,hills,valleys,mountains,hollow cones, and giant dry lake beds.every thing was the same dusky red with deep shadows.it was barren and kinda creepy. after that i think my dream switched...

So as the over achiever that I am I finally finished this task. I went to mercury. I really expected to find that mercury was made of mercury (hence the name), but it wasn't. It was hot, and blustery and very eclectic. And it was a total party planet.
I was dreaming of Hamsters. I had been filling my cheeks with hamsters (just like hamsters fill their cheeks) and walking around asking people if they would like to donate a hamster to the cause, when I got bored with the dream. I thought to myself "This dream is going nowhere, and it's boring. I'm going to Mercury." So I did. Just like that, I was there.
The surface of the planet was moon like, with craters and escarpments, but it was also covered in diamond dust. The people of mercury were shiny and happy, but they wanted music to play by. And when I say shiny, I mean shiny. Their skin was hard and crinkly with the dust of diamonds. Everything was diamond hard and very sparkly. I once saw a crystal chandelier that had 80,000 crystals in it that shone like this planet. It was so beautiful I felt tears well into my eyes.
I was thankful that I had my music with me (a must for all dream travelers) and I pulled CD's out of my pockets. I produced the Bastard Fairies, Springsteen, Clapton (now and then), Pink Floyd, and Zeppelin out. Along with Akon, and Garbage. It was really rocking. We danced with abandon, sang along to the music and ate Birthday Cake. I'm not sure where the Birthday cake came from and I was kind of puzzled by that, but I love birthday cake, so I let it go.
We danced so long and hard, that we all flopped down on the hard ground to try and catch our breath before the next set began.
I told them that I had to be going- mostly because I knew I was going out of town for the day and my alarm was going to ring soon. I agreed to leave the music with them, as I had it all on my computer and I could burn another set of CD's later. I asked if I could return and they told me I could, especially if I brought more music with me. Just as I was leaving, my alarm went off, so I waved good bye and hit the snooze bar, for ten more minutes of sleep. No such luck since the dogs woke with the alarm and they wanted to go out.

They gave you cake for finishing the task! Congrats Phoenixfire, you are very talented

Holy Crap, she did it. Now I have to think of a prize for this.

lulz, congratulations phoenixfire!

Man, that was fast. Congratulations.

Sure was, it was meant to be a 6 month task, she did it in two

I didn't realize that this was a difficult set of tasks. I know now that it is. I do things in my dreams that I've done for years. I think because I've done this for so long that it's just natural now.
Thank you very much for your generous compliments. I can't wait for next months tasks. Happy Dreaming everyone.
