Thread: Lucid Task for the Year of 2008

I'm done!!!

saturn:

i actually didn't start off on earth this time i was in another galaxy on some remote planet and was native to it.i was just flying through space and somehow along the way i became human again and i remembered i still had to go to saturn.i floated up through it's rings and sat on a hunk of ice for a while wondering where to go next.i circled the planet and explored the rings for a while going in and out of them and exploring the crevases in the hunks of ice and rock.i went down to the planet after a while but passed through it because it was just a ball of cold gas.i stayed inside the planet for a while and then came out upside down but i was on top the planet.i spun right way up and flew away.it was a dull greyish tan/orange colored mist that made up the planet.the rings were more colorful with subtle blues and reds.it was really quiet and lonely.i don't like saturn anymore.

This task of the year thing seems like a good idea! It gives me yet another incentive to get a move-on on this lucid dreaming thing...

Edit: On second thought, after reading the rules, 7 (hahaha pluto) different dreams for planets seems a bit daunting. I probably won't get the task of the year done. I have more interesting things to spend my lucid dreams on that visiting planets. This looks like a job for... EXPERIENCED LD-ers! (trumpet blast.)

Venus

In a lucid dream that wasn't going anywhere, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to go to Venus. I started willing myself to towards it, then I realised I was losing the dream. So I rubbed my hands together, and tried to calm down and get back into it.

I saw Venusian sky breaking through on the horizon, and got ahead of myself. Wanting to keep the dream and get to Venus I decided to close my eyes and wish myself there.

When I opened them I saw Venus in some past date. The sky was blue and the world was humid. A thick forest of alien ferns lay between me and the other side of the valley, where mountains stretched into the distance.

Having seen this, I lost the dream. Its a shame that as yet I haven't managed an interplanetary travel dream to rival Mars. Jupiter is next.

grrr...well i have saturn left. i will try to get it done this week.

I tried going to Mars in the lucid dream I had last night, but it didn't work.

It was not a very vivid dream. My brother told me he had installed Windows on an old iMac, but it had caught a virus, and he needed my help to fix it. I tried to figure it out for a while, until I realized it was impossible for that computer to run Windows, and realized I was dreaming.

At this point, I tried using the screen like an iPhone touch screen, and was able to find a small picture of Mars, but I was unable to make it big enough to enter it. I made the screen grow to the size of a door by stretching the corners, but after that I couldn't make the computer bring up any more pictures of Mars, and I soon woke up.

Grats on Venus Apachama.

Uranus is eluding me:
I went flying from earth to find Uranus and took my twelve-year-old niece with me. We were flying hand-in-hand and I couldn't decide if she could fly on her own or if I was making her fly too.

We made it out into space pretty easily and there were all the planets in a rough line. They looked like some glow-in-the-dark toy planets that I bought for my husband. I was thinking that this was going very well, especially considering that so many people complain that it's difficult to fly into space and this was really my first time leaving the earth's atmosphere through flight. I was looking for two turquoise-blue planets next to each other; one would be Neptune, and the other Uranus. But I didn't see them, and soon I started to see planets that I didn't recognize and I realized that we had left the solar system. I turned back the way we had come, and as we went I continued looking for the twin planets. Wherever I saw one plain, big, blue planet I'd look for another next to it, and sometimes I'd see one but once we got closer the planet would morph and look completely different. Finally I did find what looked like the right set and I was able to pick out which one was Neptune, so we headed for the other one. I was having trouble getting close to the planet through flight so I teleported us to the surface.

We ended up in a building of sorts. It was L-shaped with a very high ceiling. Windows made up all the walls on the inside of the "L". It looked big enough to house spacecraft but was completely abandoned. I was amazed: this meant that something intelligent had been here at some point. But looking out the window, I was disappointed: there was hard-packed dirt, and in the distance . . . trees? This did not fit my definition of Uranus

We decided to pretend that there was no solid surface outside, that the building was the only thing keeping us safe, floating on a layer of denser atmosphere while submerged in the layer above. I was hoping that by thinking this I would change the reality of it, but this didn't happen . . .


I think that the reason that I was having so much trouble finding two blue planets is because those toy planets of my husband's depict Uranus as a true purple

Aww, you'll find it soon

Hmm...I'm a bit late to the party but I will try this before the year ends.

I guess I'll do them in order and go to Mercury first. How do other people get to other planets in their LDs? I was thinking just flying up toward it or probably teleporting.

Awesome that you're joining us. You have plenty of time to catch up. I haven't been focused on this much myself lately. But I find that teleporting works better than flying, although WILDing and entering the dream on the planet is even better.

I've been trying WILD every morning. How would I do that? Just visualize the planet in my field of vision?

Um, actually I really don't know. Sometimes I control my dreams on a less-than-conscious level, so the desire alone is enough to get me where I want to be.

I generally close my eyes and wish to be on the planet. Or conjure it to me. In this way I've found I can sometimes teleport the whole of my dream scene to another planet.

Thats what I did in my Mars dream. I wondered around appreciating being on Mars until the scenery took on martian characteristics.

Wow! This sounds hard!

It's not all that hard, it just takes patience, it's designed to be a 6 month task

Well since I've never been outside of the atmosphere, I'll probably mess up

But I've been to earth
I'll get to mars sometime. Maybe if I get all the planets, I'll try the sun.

not sure what is wrong with my computer but my posts end up in the middle of threads instead of the end soo....yeah... (if you read above i did saturn)

That's weird.

I had three LDs last night, completed the advanced monthly task, but completely forgot about this.

Nice job ray, sorry, I missed where you went to Mars. I fixed it now.

Also, I just PM'd administrators, I hope to get you a special user group soon.

thats alright. now i just have to do the monthly tasks...

lol, you still got five days

Isn't this always the way? None for ages then two in one night.

Jupiter

I go back to bed, and get up. Everything is realistic, but I suspect I may be in a dream. I do a reality check. This is the first time I've ever done one in a dream. I hold my nose, but it doesn't stopp my breathing. I decide to fly down the hall.

AW is in the kitchen, I ask if she wants to come flying with me. She says she can fly. So okay. Out of our flat ois Nottingham. Someone has built a bank in front of our house. As I fly up through it I say "I want to go to Jupiter" over and over again.

Its raining heavilly outside. Storm rain. The atmosphere over our head is losing its moisture, I guess. This is fucking Jupiter, there's enough atmosphere without a bit of Earth's. In the distance I see great red clouds.

This isn't like Mars. The city is taking damage. Midway down the old market square Nottingham gives way to a think red sludge which seems to be on fire. Rubble is everywhere. I guess the ground of this patch of Earth is giving way into the Great Red Spot.

I almost forgot! Someone managed to write graffiti onto the burning sludge before death. Christ. Only in Nottingham would someone try to tag the Great Red Spot!

I try to rescue people. But its no good. The dream agitates me and I lose visual. I try to form a model of Jupiter in my hands. It morphs from Earth through many planets until I manage it. I stare at the great red spot. But I can't be drawn into it. I see three eyes Jovians before the whole world goes black.

Saturn

I have a false awakening but I still have a gun from my last dream. So I do a reality check. There's still not enough evidence, I'm terrified I could be wrong. So I fly up into the air. Alight on a bed somewhere and start thinking "Saturn."

The word reverberates around my head. Creepy music starts playing. I form an image of looking at saturns rings in my mind, and start to open my eyes when I can sense that its there. I can see the rings. The stars above the rings and the gas beneath me. But only briefly. I get excited and open my eyes wide.

Too wide.

My eyes open and I wake up.

I see a dark blue planet up in the sky. I remember Uranus and become lucid. I teleport to the surface of Uranus, but part of me is still on earth; I'm now in two places at the same time. On earth I get out an index card to write down the dream. On Uranus I realize that there shouldn't be a surface, and as I think this it disappears and I fall through the layers of Uranus's gaseous atmosphere. I can feel the differences in pressure as I hit each one. On earth, I'm writing with a pencil, "I realized that there shouldn't be a surface, and as soon as I thought this, it disappeared." On Uranus I have my arms up above me, my body forming a straight line. I don't fall very fast, as if I'm on a slide. On earth, my employer's trying to talk to me, distracting me. But I manage to keep thinking of Uranus and decide that I should see the center. I splash into the liquid-ice core of Uranus. Back on earth I'm talking to my employer.

Well if you are still doing this...

I saw this yesterday, and last night during two of my lucids i did a planet.

Hopefully it is not limited to one night.

Anyway:

Neptune:

My first planet i visited was Neptune. When i first got to it, it wasnt blue or purple or anything, but it was more green ish. I flew down and found out that the air was also a green tint. When i got the the "surface" all i saw was water. Just like an endless ocean all around the planet. So, i decied to go into the water. It was really freaky to look down once in the water and just see forever. However, i did see an alien of sorts. I looked forward a ways and i thought i saw a shadow so i swam up to it. My DG was there, and i was very dissapointed. But my DG told me to look behind me, and so i did. Right when i turned around i saw this huge mouth that was about to swallow me. I quickly dodged and i saw the huge monster. I will post a picture at the end of this. The thing was so big though. Anyway, after this i told my DG about the task of the year and so i woke myself up.

Mars:

When i first landed on Mars i instantly was in a huge sandstorm. I closed my eyes and willed the storm away, and thus it did. I opend my eyes to be startled by my DG staring at my eye 1 inch from my face. I jumped back and sat down on what seemed like cactus, but it was orange in color. I did not know if a plant could count as an alien, so i disregarded it. I then got up and my DG said he saw something that could be alive. I followed him and got hit by another dust storm. I again willed it away and walked forward more. For what seemed like an hour or so i was walking when i came upon a cave. From the cave immiediatly shot out a worm of sorts, like the ones on Mario. It scared me so bad, and it was again huge. Right after it shot out it grabbed my DG and jumped back inside of its cave. I laughed, and woke myself up.

Here are the pictures:

Dream 1:



Dream 2:

Nope, you can do as many as you want in a night, just as long as they are separate dreams. Nice job C911.
