Thread: Task for the Month of August 2008

I haven't LD'd with intent in a long time...I wonder if I can still wrestle up conscious memory of the real world in my dream long enough to eat a thought.

I completed the lucid task this morning. I didn't even know what it was until I checked it a day or two ago. Got lucid this morning and the first thing I could think of was to eat a thought. I put my hand up to the back of my head and pressed my finger against my thumb like I was plucking out a hair. I had no idea what a "thought" would look like and, when I brought my hand around in front of me, I was holding a little blue cloud/bubble, like the thought bubbles in comics, but it was actually 3D and had shading to it. I put it in my mouth and it tasted like cotton candy.

I only have the notes in my journal, now, but I'll copy/paste it here, when I type the whole dream out.

Hmm... never had a lucid dream before while trying, but i almost got it last night. I might try this one. (wish me luck)

Yay oneironaut.

Advanced Task Completed!!!

So, I end of having a WILD where I wake up in my bed aware that I'm dreaming. I hop out my bedroom window into my front yard. I notice that it is completely light outside, which is a little weird to me. I notice a taxi is parked in front of my house. Here I try to recall the Lucid Tasks. I can't remember the Standard Task, but I remember the Advanced. I walk around the back of the taxi and open the driver's side door. The driver steps out. I ask him, "Will you please have a thought, because I'm going to eat it." He looks at me skeptically, and I tell him, "I'm going to suck it out your ear." (Which is weird, I know, but how else would you eat thoughts?) He nods and closes his eyes. I move close to his ear as if I'm about to whisper a secret to him, and then suck in as hard as I can, as if I'm trying to get the last bit of a drink out through a straw. A moment passes where I'm just tasting air, then the air get a little thicker. It tastes salty, then bitter. I move to face him again, and ask him what he was thinking. He says, "I was wondering what it was like to be a woman. I think people would laugh at me because my boobs would be too big." After that I tried traveling to other planets, but I didn't get anywhere.

that was probably the funniest dream I have ever read

Yeah, I thought it was funny too. Glad you enjoyed it.
