Thread: Task of the Month for December 2008

Hi everyone, this is my first post. I've been lurking since May. I am having Ld's enough now to try the monthly task. It was very intimidating when I first found that people were able to do this.

However, now that I've had enough Ld's to say I am a Lucid dreamer I am ready to try.

So far I have had a few successful wilds, a lot of deld's and even a string of them one night. I've flown, and even ate food.

I have at least one Lucid a week. I'm always trying to improve and get better results.

So, count me in.

The Transit task will be cool because my dreams usually have only a few people in it...so mass tranist will be a real change.

Really jazzed about the sleigh ride.

My next post will be a completed task. I have my distorted nubby reality checked fingers crossed!

Tried WBTB, inspired by a thread I ate some chocolate and did have more vivid dreams and got lucid for just a moment.

Was walking around in the dark, felt so real, the gravity and weight of each step. I just kept moving thinking a scene would appear and after a few moments it did. I was in a parking lot I used to live near as a child. but then I lost it and woke up.

Still a minor success but nothing close to the task. I'm only writing it here because I did the WBTB trying to do the the task this month.

Lovin the badge! Thanks everyone

Hey, i havent had a lucid dream in almost a year but last night i finally had one and attempted the task:

I had waited until the vibrations completely stopped and i was lying in bed. I remembered how rushed i felt in all my other dreams so i knew to stay calm and take full control. I walked out of my room and took a left, standing in front of me was a 5 foot tall mutated baby fetus looking thing, and I punched it in the face a few times for fun and moved onto the computer room. My computer had turned into a Mac. I opened up firefox and went to Dream views to look up what was the monthly task, then i thought "Oh wait I already remember the monthly task to ride something like a subway train." I look around the computer room and find a collection of medieval stuff. I put on some armor and go downstairs. As i exit the house, everything looked a bit blurry and i yelled "Increase Lucidity!" which made everything clear again. I kept telling myself that there would be a subway near by and i looked up the paved path to my right and there was a big castle. "There must be a subway in there" i thought. As i was walking up the path a woman was talking to her baby and the baby was talking about how it gave birth to the mother, i was really confused and kept going. To the right of me there were people making some ancient looking acoustic guitars while they were high on something. I reached the castle and it turned into some underground entrance sort of thing. I entered and it was a fairly dark cave with a few lights hanging overhead. Ahead of me there was a waiting spot for the subway and there were people scattered about waiting as well. A subway train came. It had seemed to be made of rocks like the walls. The train came to a stop. I was standing there waiting for the doors to open when i realized something: There are no doors and it's going to leave me behind! Suddenly i saw people jumping in through the window of the train and some people jumping out and then it started up and left me before i could even attempt to get on the train. I had failed the task. I was still lucid so i just decided to follow the tracks to see where it went. There were underground lakes with the bluest water i had ever seen. I reached the exit of the cave and was outside. The grass and sky were very detailed and everything looked great as usual. I looked at where the tracks lead but as soon as the tracks get outside they curved upwards towards the sky. I looked around and went to inspect some plants but ended up waking up instead. (And my body was too awake to attempt DEILD again)

Yeah, i think i failed the task since i couldnt get on but ill try something other than a subway next time >.>

I'm so happy! I did the Advanced Task! Here's the dream:

I was in my room and my friend was talking to me. We were sitting on the bed in front of the window. The shining brightly through some tree's. My buddy was telling me something but wasn't really making sense. He said he came over here "this morning" to tell me something. That stood out because the sun set's in my room. I said you said this morning but it is evening. (based on the sun out my window. He said he didn't say that, I said yes you did. He said can he finish what he was saying. Then I thought the only explanation is that I'm dreaming and BAM I was lucid.

Great moment of lucidity. Sitting in front of a window with the sun shining in seems so symbolic.

So I got up went into the hall, not my house anymore, and was standing there thinking what should I do next. I was blank for a moment. Then the task of the month came to mind. Santa's Sleigh I thought! I want to ride Santa's Sleigh.

So I walked over to the balcony area and was thinking I need to get outside to find the sleigh. I could see down to the next level outside and saw Santa's Sleigh right outside! I jumped off the balcony and was going to do a slow landing. But it felt out of control, like slow fall and when I landed it was jolting. I hoped I wouldn't wake up because it was quite a realistic slam to the ground. I even hoped I didn't hurt my knee.

I didn't wake up. I went outside. So excited. But the sleigh turned out to be a large yard Christmas ornament. t was a hollow wire frame. I thought maybe I could ride this, but there was no Santa and I just knew this wouldn't due.
I was thinking It needs to be a real sleigh with Santa! There was another Sleigh ornament and I went over to check it out.

Just then I heard bells and "Ho Ho Ho" and from high above Santa's Sleigh rounded the house! I was thrilled. It didnt have Reinder but it was a big Sled.

I flew up to it and was going to get on but it was moving fast and sort of erratic. I think I yelled out can I ride please? Then he came to me like a bus would pull up beside you. His Sleigh was Black and dark green. The rails at the bottom were black. It had several rows. When he pulled up Santa passed me. He looked very odd. Sort of mechanical. His suit was blackish and he was smiling and had a beard but it looked like wires.

I was standing at about the fourth aisle. I thought about going to his seat but didn't want to miss the chance to get on. So I got on this aisle.

His sleigh took off at incredible speed. and was zooming through the air and I must have thought it felt like a roller coaster because the next thing I new it was on a track going down a hill into a loop. There were to girls sitting beside me now and one in front of os facing us. The sensation was completely like a coaster and I yelled just like I do on them in terror! LOL

After the loop the Sleigh slowed down and was approaching the loading dock like on a coaster. The girls were talking to each other and the one next to me was beautiful. I kept taking a glance at her and we would make eye contact. I thought I see how you could fall in love in a dream.

Then it started to fade. It went black and I was feeling aware of my body. I tried to rub my hands but it was way to late.

I laid still hoping to start another dream but it didn't. I was going over my lucid and must have fell back to sleep. When I woke I could remember two more non lucid dreams after this LD.

I'm so thrilled! I did the advanced task! Even if it is the last day of the month I did it. I remember reading about these task and they seemed so beyond me. But I did it!

Whew!

How cool to start the new year off with THIS! Thank you dreamviews.

The task are awesome because they give you something to reach for. I've learned many lessons and did new things this month regarding Lucid Dreaming all because I set my mind to do these task.

Thanks again and Happy New Year everyone!

nice job

Hahaha, nice. Right on time. I gave up on doing it this month. I want to do next month's. ^^ I'm hoping for a lucid tonight (though I'm absolutely sure *pokes consciousness* that I'll have one) and I'm also going to nap. >D I got 14 hours of sleep yesterday because I went to bed early (but also got up early) and I think I slept from 9 PM to 8 AM... 11 hours. Plus 3 hours of trying to have a WILD nap. ^__^;

Thanks...

Santa looked so weird. This was very cool. A friggin roller coaster to boot. Heck, I could see riding a roller coaster as a task and I got that as a bonus!

Actually I did a lot of new things this month trying for this task.

Do the wings only last a day since it is the last day of the month?

Just wondering if I will see them at all.
