Thread: Lucid Task for the Year of 2008

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.

Sweet, i lucid every dream, but i will keep it down to 2 planets per night.

So, last night i did two of them.

I went to: Mercury:

I awoke in my dream and i was in the syphnx (sp?) with my DG who was trying on masks and such. I told him i had to go find some of the planets. He told me to go to the sun, and brilliant me thought that would be fun. On the way there though, i rememberd that the Sun was not part of the challenge. Though, mercury is closest to the sun, so i went there instead. There was no atmosphere on this planet. It planet was just grey and crumbly. I remember being very warm the entire time. I kept seeing volcanic action, like geyers of lava that just shot out. I did not however find any life, i figured that this planet was far too hot for life to exist on it. There was nothing really fun to do here, and i decided it was not fun and woke myself up.

Next dream:

Saturn

I went to saturn next. Saturn has always been by far my favorite planet to see. When i got there the rings around saturn were magnificant. Absolutly beutiful. I landed on the planet and with my DG, we started to look around. I noticed that there was atleast 17 moons in the sky. Also, there was an aurora everywhere i looked. It was astonishing. The ground was a murky red and brown mix color. We started walking and i heard a shuffle behind me. I turned around quickly and this little dog like creature came up to me. It was really strange, with 3 eyes, and 3 legs. It looked like a tricycle on aids. Anyway, it was very fun to play with, but i soon got bored, and left.

Uranus

A man tries to grab me. I fly higher, but can't ebven reach the roofs of three story buildings. This is an issue. I want to get to Uranus.

Last time I took a city with me to another world it caused problems for people, and closing your eyes is risky in dreams. So I concentrate on the blue of the sky. I imagine that I'm looking at Venus. It gets deeper, I fly around staring at it and after a while sky splits into deep blue clouds. When two clouds part I see the thin ring of the world briefly. So here I am.

The ground under me is a thick layer of mist, compressed by gravity I am glad I don't feel. I hear a sound from out in the real. I assume its my bloody land-lady making the early morning visit she's been threatening. She often wanders around people's rooms while they're out, so I need to be awake to remind her how thats illegal.

Neptune

It wasn't my land-lady. Though waking up means another round of paranoid hypnogogic hallucinations. Guiding myself back to sleep, I decide on visiting Neptune.

The lower cloud cover is hard with gravity like Uranus', but it moves about. I lie still and riding the waves. Its kind of a cross between a swimming pool wave machine, a water bed and a bouncy castle. Its lovely, but there must be more to Neptune than that. To find more of the world, I dive down into the clouds.

Translucent snake monsters the size of houses writhe about below me, and as I go deeper I see they are dancing among lotus flowers. Maybe pollinating them like bees, or tending to them like gardeners. I am scared of them. I don't stop to check. I just sneak deeper.

Neptune on a deeper level is like a bee hive. I recognise the flowers of Earth. Each cell has a different specie and I realise these aren't necessarilly plants but different modes of consciousness starting with simple life and becoming more abstract.

At a deeper level still the cells stop. I sense that there is a consciousness not much further down than me that unifies this planet and all those cells in a more subtle way than I can conceive of. The dream ends and I am pushed back to Earth.

Pluto

I see a friend of mine. I offer to take her flying, but I can't lift her. So I fly and she walks. I decide to do one more planet tonight, just to set a new personal best and teleport our immediate surroundings to Pluto.

God. Pluto. What a miserable little rock. The only achievement colonists her have is that their asteroid was once thought of as a planet. Still, there are more tenuous claims to fame in the Kuiper Belt.

I fly some way and see snow. When I go back my friend has vanished.

In the distance I see a glass house out in the snow, which is already slowly engulfing the little patch of Earth I brought with me. I'm glad the low gravity and the cold aren't affecting me. Its hard to fly towards the house, for some reason. But I land on it, even find my way inside.

A man tells me he's captured some of the Earthlings I brought with me. In this house he can run a experiment on the human mind under conditions of zero privacy. I have to find a way to get the Earthlings out.

Too late. Now I do need to wake up.

What's the prize, man???

You get a year long membership in the Task of the Month Club and an sexy orange name
