Thread: Task of the Month for December 2008

Did I do it, then? Did I do the challenge? o.o

I just had my first fully lucid dream, ever. A DILD!
And I've completed the advanced task of the month too (I think) ! YAY!

Here's what's written in my dream journal:
The lucid part:

I'm flying over the city, semi-lucid when it occures to me I should become fully lucid. I do a reality check (wel try to, I plug my nose but I forgot to try to breath, lol) but I think, what the hell, I'm lucid anyway.
I fly some more and decide to land. I think, now that I'm lucid, I should waste it just flying. So I think why not try the task of the month, though I was planning on doing other things it seemed really smart of me at the moment.
I turned around, closed my eyes and try to make Santa and his sleigh appear. Almost immediately I hear a Jingle Bell behind me, I turn around there is a big red sleigh facing the other side. I walk next to it so I can see Santa.
For some reason he looks Indian, and I don't think he had a beard, but I ask: "Can I go with you?". He says that's okay so I hop in.
We fly, without reindeer by the way, only about two metres above the ground, but nobody can see us. We fly right on front of a man and he doesn't seem to notice us.
We start to sing Jingle Bells loudly, but once we come to the first verse, I don't know the lines, so neither does Santa lol. We start singing La La La La La, in the melody of the verse. But then Santa remembers and he starts singing something like: "All the mortals...", so either I subconsiously know the lines, or my mind made it up.
The ending of the dream was really mean: I hear a noise, as if someone said: "Shh", I think it may have been my dad, but Santa, who is on my left, looks to the right of me and when I look too I wake up

And that's how it went. The sleigh didn't take me anywhere but that's not the task is it?

I'm so proud of myself lol

Yes you did it, you'll get wings soon.

Tried and failed at the sleigh task, last night.
Just happy to have had a good lucid after so long, though.

It still took me a moment to remember what the tasks were, but I remembered that one of them was to ride on Santa’s sleigh. Heading outside, I flew up to the roof, which was actually quite tough to land on because it had one of those high-angled, church-type rooftops, and my feet kept trying to slide down it. I got to the top, though, and looked out over the lake.

It was dark out, but a pretty clear night. And warm. It didn’t seem very Christmas-y, and I really wanted to set the mood, if I was going to try to summon Santa and/or his sleigh. I began to visualize winds coming in from my right, and a blanket of snow streaming down over the grass and dark water of the lake. The winds slowly began to pick up, and I was sort of directing it in as if I was using telekinesis. I would focus on drawing it in from the right, inhaling and tensing a bit as I drew my hands from right to left. Then, relaxing, I sifted my hands back over to the right again, then drawing back to the left while ‘pulling’ the wind across the scene. I could hear waves being born on the lake, growing with intensity, the more I tried to pull the snow and winds in. All I was able to get were a few dashes of white on the dark surfaces beneath me. No true snow storm. Finally, I figured that I was using up too much energy in trying to do this, and I wanted to have some fun with this lucid before it was over. After a few more tries I gave up, and floated back down off the roof...

Last night I did the mass transit task but I wasn't lucid!

I was on the side of the rode and my friend left me and was meet me downtown. I needed to get there. I saw a bus stop. I went in a store to buy a ticket. A woman at the register gave me several...they were as small as a thumb nail. I asked was this the right kind and she said yea they are making them smaller now.

I was going out and the bus was there. It was night. I was about to miss it. I ran through some grass to the road. There was a woman inside telling the woman driver to wait. She wanted to drive off and was trying to shut the door but the other woman wouldn't let her. I got to the door right when it was shutting and got my hand in just in time. I forced the door open and got on and handed her the small ticket. She was reluctant but took it.

I walked inside but it didn't have aisles like a bus. It was like a square room with plastic fold out tables like you might have at a family gathering. I sat down across from an older woman and we talked but I cant recall the convo,
We were moving like a bus does and I could see outside the street going by.

Then I woke up. It was my last dream just before I got up. The dream was epic long before this but all faded fast and all I could remember was this.

However. I am very pleased with the dream. I recalled the most important part. I achieved some dream incubation in that I dreamed the task being fulfilled. I have said all along that a bus would be the mass transit and I had never been on a bus in a dream ever before. So, very cool and worht sharing. Not a completed task but still an accomplishment!
