Thread: Task for the Month of October 2008

o well, this is directly from my dream journal. i got lucid toward the end of the dream, i'm going to try again though.
I walked out on to the stage. i looked down and saw a sick outerworldly guitar, all black leather, a spiked belt and black shoes. i looked up again at the large crowd. i started playing, they were screaming. i looked down again, becoming lucid when not seeing anything. i threw my guitar into the crowd, then again and again, never running out of guitars. i woke up before anything else happened.

did i kill the thread or something? why i am still the last person to respond >.<?

It's dead because pumpkins are anti-social this time of year.

im going to try the basic task, any tips?

Yea I don't have a costume this year, so my idea was to get the idea from the jackolantern

I have some fake pumpkins in my room now, so every time I see them I'm like 'Hey guys, what's up? How's it going?" One of these days.... they will respond... I know it!

fnah? do i get my wings for this or not? this is killing me.

any tips for talking to a pumpkin? i tried but it just sat there...

how do you increase lucid level without accidently waking up, or snapping out of the lucid? i always get a low level nowadays.

I completed the task last night, just barley.

I had just woken up from a dream and I was trying to think of something to do in my next dream because I can't think clearly in dreams. I remembered to talk to a jackolantern and I fell asleep. I was lucid as soon as I fell asleep and did some other tasks firsts. Then I remembered the jackolantern thing and I walked outside. I saw the back of the two pumpkins my family had just gotten and told myself that when I walked around to the front, they would be jackolanterns. And they were! This surprised me because because I didn't thinkit would work. My brother's pumpkin had two cirlcles for eyes and an oval for a mouth. Mine had triangular eyes and a jagged mouth. I said Hi and they mumbled in some weird squeaky voices that I couldn't understand. I noticed their mouth's weren't moving and I thought that it wouldn't count for some reason. I saw a tiny jackolantern that came out of nowhere and he started mumbling along with the first two. I picked up a convienetaly placed brick and threatened to smash the tiny pumpkin with it if he didn't move his mouth while he was talking. All three of them started moving their mouths, but they didn't match their voices. I smashed the small pumpkin for some reason, and the other two tried to "run" away. My brother and I kept them from running, but we desided to let them go and they ran into the darkness. I forget what happened next.

I'm standing on the grass outside my childhood home. I notice that although the lighting makes it appear to be daytime, the sky is black with gray and green clouds, and at this point I realize I'm dreaming.

I lift myself into the air and begin to fly. As I cross into the cloud layer, I remember this month's lucid tasks. Become your costume? I can't remember the last time I had a costume, but I decide that in the same spirit I'll fly to New York City, land on the Empire State Building, and become King Kong.

I fly further to the east and I decide I'll make a stop along the way to talk to a jack o' lantern. I descend back through the clouds and see a house looming in front of me. I lift myself back up to clear the roof, then I land in the back yard. I turn around and walk up onto the back porch where I see a jack o' lantern sitting on a rail near eye level. I go up to it and say "Hi there, how's it going?"

It seems to come to life at this point as the eyes begin to move around and scan its entire surroundings. After watching it roll its eyes for a few seconds, it looks at me and grins even more than it had been in its inanimate state.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo!" the jack o' lantern shouts at the top of its lungs (if a dream jack o' lantern could be said to have lungs) and begins laughing maniacally. This is so ridiculous that I can barely hold myself back, and after a few seconds I succumb to laughter as well.

While laughing along with Jack, I make the mistake of closing my eyes. When I open my eyes, I find myself in my bedroom in my childhood home where I lose my lucidity.

I'm listening to a baseball game on the radio where the Cleveland Indians are leading the Tampa Bay Rays 12-5. I'm sitting on the floor looking at several fishing lures I have laid out. A cockatoo is several feet ahead of me eating mixed nuts out of a can.

I pick up the bird and go upstairs. When I get to the living room, I set down the bird, who goes right back to eating the mixed nuts. I go back to listening to the ballgame and I notice the Rays have scored several more runs and soon have the game tied. I tune out the game in disgust before I wake up.

oh noes, i got the wrong wings :O

Fixed, sorry about that.

ok I did my tasks for this month last night, or at least I think I did.
The whole LD was so incredibly real that I almost doubted I was dreaming
this time....either that, or I'm just noticing detail more and more now.
I had the dream last night and it was a WILD. I knew even though it was
so real that I was not really walking around in my house because it was
bright daylight in my house and I knew it was night time. After I left my
house though it was easy to see that I was dreaming but I couldn't believe
how true and real looking everything in my house was. At one point though
I noticed some ceramic nick nacks on the hall window sill though that I do
not own. I went to look at them and one was a little boy fishing for crying
out loud....how weird is that?? lol
Anyway for the tasks.....I ended up in a very big store to look for a jack
o lantern to talk to. I actually talked to a few of them but the conversations
were so weird that I can't even remember some of them now. I finally spotted
a very large one that had a very evil looking face. The eyes were closed and
it had like a witches hat on. When I turned around after speaking with one
of the smaller ones the evil one was right there on a shelf. I said "hello"
to it, and it opened its eyes, which were just closed slashes at first but
when 'he' opened his eyes, they were real eyes, like human eyes. He said,
"hey there" and then he smiled and his mouth was a slash also but turned into
an open mouth just like a jack o lantern should have, but he had all black
teeth. I said 'how are you?' and he said "I like to sleep" and then he looked
mad again. I said "why are you mad" and he said "I'm tired" So I just walked
away and thought of what my Halloween costume would be. There were many
DCs in this store but I don't think I talked to any of them. The whole dream
sort of happened in confusing phases. I thought about the 'catgirl' lovers in
this forum and thought I could try to be a catgirl costume. I wasn't sure how
to begin to morph into anything so I just thought of turning into it. The LD
wasn't terribly strong and more then once started to fade away, and I looked
at my hands a few times, but that even started to fade after awhile so I
thought of something I read in here and so I yelled out loud....'clarity'!
and I'll be damned if that doesn't work very well! I was looking up through
the store at the time and everything came into perfect focus! Saying 'clarity'
out loud really works! (and it seems I can talk out loud in my LDs without
waking up now as well) I looked at my arms and I had white sleeves but my
hands didn't appear to be cat hands but I thought I might have changed. So I
looked for a mirror which I found immediately on a wall and looked at my
image. The face in the mirror was really me but I had three long whiskers on
each side of my nose that were real and were not simply drawn on my face and
I also had the pointy ears. I noticed that my shirt was still white but I had a
whole sort of white body suit on and it was furry. It was very furry around
the neck but my ears were black, and stuck out of my hair. I stuck my hand
through the mirror to touch the furry collar and it felt very soft but more
like feathers then fur. Which is kind of weird because I didn't think at the
time to feel around my own neck. My face in the mirror looked at me kind of
angry-like and so I walked away. (I wish I would have thought to ask it
'why do we dream?' but it didn't come to mind)
After that I did a lot of things but those are the tasks. I'll write up the whole
story for my journal later because I did a few strange things in this LD! I also
had trouble flying in this one and I actually fell to the ground once and banged
my head on the ground....I noticed that I felt absolutely no pain from it though.
I did a few things to get myself off the ground and some worked and some didn't
but then the flying became very bizarre!
