Definitely. I wasn't really planning on doing the task, but I had a lucid and took full advantage of it. Before this I was content just letting lucids come as they pleased, but now I want to try the advanced task and see what else I can do in LD.

endymion what's with you and morpheus lol

Man these tasks are funny I especially like

I landed on top of a tall light post, and I had somehow lost all of my clothes and became a man.

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.

You probably already know this, but Morpheus is the Greek God of dreams. I happen to be a very big fan of both the Matrix and the Sandman graphic novels. Morpheus is just someone I can call on in the dream world to assist me in doing something that may be difficult to do on my own. In particular I have a hard time teleporting to desired locations, so I summon him to take me there. I probably could've managed the public transportation task on my own (especially b/c I walked right past a bus stop!), but he was a great help in completing this month's advanced task. If you have trouble with these sorts of things, I highly suggest trying something similar...it works pretty well!

Hm, interesting. I don't think I ever knew that.
I might try it sometime, whenever I get my bloody LD's back Morpheus!
Please help me.

Wow, that's interesting too.
He sleeps on an ebony bed in a dimly lit cave, surrounded by poppy flowers.
....
The drug morphine (once "morphium") derives its name from Morpheus based on its dream-inducing power.

The things those people knew huh?

Glad you liked my dream, Tommo. :]
Templar's dream is a bit freaky.
(Still funny though.)

I didn't know Morpheus slept in a cave of poppies, but it's fitting. The poppy called Papaver somniferum is where opium and other opiates like morphine come from. ("Somni" is the Latin word for sleep/dreams.)
There's some poem about soldiers sleeping in a poppy field... In that case, the poppies are a symbol of death/eternal sleep.


No luck on another LD, so I haven't been able to do the advanced task. All I've been getting has been lame, jumbled dreams.

Awesome tasks, I think the bus one is gonna turn up a lot of interesting results.
Whenever i get on a bus in dreams, usually it ends up going underground

Nice basic task. I really do like having very little influence on my dream, save some flight.

Now, of course, I have to get lucid. Considering I haven't recalled any dreams, save a few, for the past few months however, I don't see how I'll get lucid to begin with. Stupid school gets in the way of freaking everything.

Cool im going to try and do the basic task in a couple of hours hopefully if i become lucid. Im just doing the WBTB Method right now ( which happened to work best for me so far) but i need to wait a bit more because im not tired.

For January maybe the advanced task should be go into the future or ride on a dragon?
