Thread: Lucid Task for the Year of 2009

Nicely done sir

Thanks, ninja!

excerpt from me dream journal:

I saw some mountains in the distance ahead of me. I released the leaves, and flew toward the temple of Zeus. The temple grew larger in my vision as I approached it. It was sitting on a mound in the foothills of Mount Olympus. There were no other buildings around it. It was at the edge of the forest.

I ran up the steps, and ran down a great hall. It was so long, I couldn't see the statue. The dream clarity started to fade, so I decided to keep running down the hall until the clarity increased again.

The pillars were flying by me, and I enjoyed the feeling of running at breakneck speed. After a few minutes, I saw the statue of Zeus sitting on a throne in the distance. I saw a glimmer of white and gold. Suddenly, he was right before me. A huge pale man, wearing gold robes. There was a great pool of oil in front of him on fire. The flames were reflecting off the pale skin of the statue.
I went into third person view at this point.

I saw myself standing before the pool, about 6o feet tall. Zeus stood up, and we charged at each other, locking grips, leaning over the pool. We fell into the fiery oil, roaring as we fought. We wrestled in the forest, flattening trees.

We flew into space, and he turned into a thunderbolt, and I turned into a giant tree. I kept growing my arms at him, grabbing him, but as he shocked me, my body split apart. Then, I turned into a great mountain, and absorbed his power. Then, transformed into a volcano, and built up lava, exploding at him, which had no effect. Then, I turned my body into water, and all his lightning went right back at him, in a circle. We became a wheel of water and lightning.

I decided to spin to the edge of the universe. We got to a black wall that felt like a bubble pane and went through. We were between two black bubble panes, and tar like tentacles grabbed at us. I was afraid. I said, "This is a dream." Because there was nothing to see, I got bored, and went back.
We rolled toward the Sun, and decided to challenge him to battle. He turned me into steam, and laughed. Then, I became a sun-sized planet, and collided with him. We both exploded. I zoomed out, and saw reality ripple like it was 2D. It was the end of the solar system. A black hole formed, and slowly grew. Planets and asteroids began pouring into the a dark purple nothingness.

I was afraid. I said, "This is a dream." And I drifted to the black hole. It was like a great cosmic silent sinkhole. I let it suck me in. There were things floating, and disembodied voices, and sounds connected to nothing. There was existence all around me, but it had all become non-sentient, as if stuck in a non-lucid dream for eons.

The extreme nothingness was intense. I wondered where I was, and where Zeus was. We appeared like colored spirits. standing mutely. We had many selves of differing colors, all standing still, transparent, flowing nowhere.

Back to bed

SP felt like i was falling through the bed. The whole time I tried visualizing that i'd be in Egypt once it stopped. When it did, I found myself in my bed. It was an obvious FA cause there was sand all over my bed. I played with it a little bit, and headed out my door. When I got to the living room, I told myself that I was going to see the great pyramids right outside the door.

I opened it up, and saw my front yard =/. It was very dark outside like it had been storming, and there were two sets of hedges out there. Lined up.....I woke up after.

Ahh I'm so late in joining the forums..I hope I can do at least a few of these before the year is over, as well as some of the Tasks of the Month.

Is it acceptable to do more than one task in one dream? Sometimes I have very long ones or 'chained' ones.

Nope, not according to ninja in his OP.
Good luck.

They can't be the same dream, but I completed two in one night in two separate dreams which are just slightly harder to achieve then chains IMO.

you can do as many as you want in one night, they just can't be the same dream

I'm going to try to do this task. Do I post the dreams here, or just in my dream journal? Doing this task should make for a cool adventure!

Task of the Year Masoleum at Mollosus (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was standing on the edge of the woods. A plain opened up before me. The Mausoleum rose from the Earth. It looked like a great white Greek temple sitting on a large stand. I saw depicted on the bottom a bas-relief strange battle of centaurs and humans, and Amazons and Greeks.
The battle with the centaurs came to life. I was thrust into the middle of it. It appeared that the centaurs and humans had been having a party together outside, like a great picnic. There was food and musical instruments strewn about, and lots of wine. Both sides had little weapons.
The centaurs were overcome with a wild-eyed madness. They were trying to screw everything in sight, or fighting, or trying to buck off an imagined foe.
There were corpses of humans everywhere with hoof prints smashed into their faces and torsos. There were many dead centaurs also with knife wounds and spears stuck in them. The humans were screaming in anger, pain, and anguish.
The centaurs were snorting and roaring with an unearthly madness.

Suddenly, I was a centaur. The emotion of the moment made me semi-lucid.

I was freaking out. I could feel the wine going to my brain, making me go insane. I was trying to take control over my mind, but I couldn't. I ran away from the scene into the woods. Some of the humans ran after me, and threw spears, but missed.
I turned backwards as I ran, and fired arrows at the humans with a small bow, killing two or three. I did not want to kill anyone. The gods made us go insane. The humans were our friends. What was happening? I couldn't think straight. I didn't want to kill the humans. They attacked us? Why? Then, I remembered how one of the centaurs got drunk, leapt up, and tried to mount one of the female humans. We all started going insane at about the same time. I hated myself. I hated the freak body that the gods gave me. I cursed Dionysus. The humans were still chasing me.

I leapt off a great cliff in madness, and fell, killing myself on jagged rocks below.

My spirit floated up and away from my body. I had a human spirit somehow. Why? I floated toward the mausoleum. I saw the battle was over. Humans and centaurs were both mourning their dead.

I felt sad, but removed from it all.

I was curious about the tomb. I floated in, then down. I was in a dimly lit room. There was a table with an ancient corpse of a king on it.

I saw a hall beyond the king's chamber. I followed it. It came to a strange dead end. I kept going, and ended up in Hades. I was in a great cave, full of pits of fire. I saw the god Hades sitting on his throne in the distance.

"Aha!" I thought. "This is another entrance to Hollow Earth! They are interdimensional somehow. You go down the tunnel, and keep going... some kind of wormhole. They pyramids, the ziggurats, and this place, they are all somehow portals to Hollow Earth!"

Well, Raven, I still have two left to do, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, and the Collosus of Rhodes. Want to do those together?

And, yeah, post them in your DJ, then cross-post them here.

Task of the Year- Lighthouse of Alexandria (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was on the sea somewhere in the Mediterranean. I was like a ghost floating in the sky. The Sun was blazing. A great white tower rose from a small island. At the top of the tower was stone platform with a concave depression in it for fire, which was blackened with ash. Around the platform were two stone circles, the inside one higher than the outside one. Each circle had two posts rising up out of the stone. One one circle was a great mirror of highly polished metal, on the other was a great lens.

There were three soldiers in the tower. The soldiers were wearing light bronze armor, and wearing short swords on their hips. One had bronze and brass ornate binoculars. He was looking out to sea, shouting directions to the two other men, telling them how to angle the mirror and the lens. The two men would push against one of two handles that stuck out horizontally from each circle, and make adjustments accordingly.

I followed the gaze of the man with the binoculars. Huge enemy triremes approached. The men in the lighthouse focused the sun on the sails of the enemy ships, catching them on fire.

I would see the sail get brighter and brighter and the focused sunlight bore down on the ships, then burst into flames. I watched one ship as it happened. All the sailors in the enemy ships looked up, and ran away from the sails that were getting bright.

The captain screamed at them to man their posts. He ordered them to keep rowing. The sailors on the top deck stared at the bright light on their sail, and watched it catch fire, and fall to the deck. The captain screamed at the men to stop being amazed and jettison the burning material overboard.

I heard a roaring in the distance. I flew back to the tower, and the roaring was below me. A batallion of archers in light armor stood behind a row of foot soldiers wielding great ornate shields and short swords. The ornate metalwork on the shields led me to believe these men were the elite of the military. Every time a sail would catch on fire, the soldiers at the bottom of the tower would roar in fury and exhilaration.

There were four megaphones on swivels. There were four men shouting into the megaphones pointed at the ships, speaking simultaneously: Turn back, and go home to your wives and your children. Your captains are sending you to fiery death. We are waiting here to destroy you. Turn back. The sun god is on our side. His power and fury is against you. Throw your captains overboard, and we will not burn your ships. Persist in your approach and your ships will burn. If you survive, we have thousands of men waiting to kill you. You may even kill a few of us if you persist, but you will all die. We are fighting for our homes, therefore we fight as lions. You do not know why you are fighting, therefore your hearts grow weak.

The triremes persisted, but the captains were having a hard time keeping the men under control. All the sails had caught on fire at this point, and the invading ships slowed. One of the ships burst into flames on the port bow. The captain ordered the men to haul up seawater in buckets and put out the fire. "Keep rowing! Keep rowing!"
Some obeyed. Some dove overboard. He drew his sword and threatened to kill anyone who disobeyed. A sailor backed up, wild-eyed amongst the flames. The captain screamed at him to grab a bucket. The sailor jumped overboard as the captain thrust at him. Another sailor witnessing this, withdrew a dagger, and slit the captain's throat from behind. The crew erupted into chaos. Some sailors began fighting with each other. Some tried to put out the fire. Most jumped overboard.

The megaphones blared on: You will be destroyed by fire. Our men our defending our wives and children. We have the hearts of lions. Even now, our calvary, infantry and archers are ready to slay all who make it to shore.

I looked toward the beach. There were lines upon lines of soldiers with large shields, less ornate than the ones at the tower with lines of archers with recurve bows behind them. The calvary rode up to hills, and stared out at the ships grimly. The soldiers on the beach beat their swords on their shields. It sounded like thunder echoing over the sea.

Some of the triremes began rowing away. These ships had commited mutiny, and threw their captain overboard. Battles erupted between mutinous ship and ones obeying their captains, and arrows flew between them. Some of the archers were deliberately missing their country men. One of these archers was stabbed in the back with a sword by his captain. Another sailor slammed the pommel of his sword down on the captain's head, and blood poured from the wound. Enraged, tears streaming down his face, he threw his unconscious captain overboard. Everyone on that ship stopped fighting. He ordered the men to turn the ship around.

Another trireme burst into flames. Some of the sailors clothes caught fire, and the jumped overboard.

You are posessed by death and madness. Now come to us, you fools! The lions are waiting to devour you. Meet your certain death on our shores if you survive the fires of hell. We will kill you all. Come to us! We will devour your souls. Your children will have no fathers, and your wives will have no husbands. Your land will go untilled and fallow, and your families will starve. Come to us, and your families will die. We are waiting to kill you. Now come!

The soldiers on shore and at the towers began chanting a war cry that I could not understand. The sailors on the ships became consumed with panic. Another ship caught fire as it turned around, full on the portside. This was the largest fire so far. All the sailors screamed and jumped overboard. A hail of arrows landed on some of the men in the water. The others dove underneath. As they surfaced, they prayed to their gods, and begged for mercy.
I could no longer watch the grim spectacle. I was overwhelmed with the emotion of the moment.

To the Collosus!
We were in a small wooden boat with the head of a dragon, about 18 feet long. Basara was pushing us along with a pole. We were entering a harbor. There were many different types of vessels moored in the harbor an all kinds of traffic going in and out. There were two towers, about thirty feet high, on each side of the entrance to the harbor. Men on megaphones were giving people directions. Raven was sitting in the middle of the boat looking around at everything, with a little smile on her face.

I walked to the bow of the boat, and put one foot up on the foremost plank. "Oh, stop acting like George Washington, and help out here!" Raven teased. "Hey, I don't see you doing anything." THBBTP! I raspberried at her. "It's okay, this is easy!" Basara laughed.

We poled our way into the harbor. The statue of Collossus was on the left side, a huge golden man, shading his eyes from the sun, looking out to sea, standing on a cube of marble.
A lightning bolt struck the Collosus. He looked up at the sky and growled. "Hmph. Why don't you come down here, and fight me, O mighty Zeus?" he taunted.
The Collosus stepped off the marble, and walked around the edge of the harbor inland into a forest. Zeus flew down from the sky straight at the Collosus with his left fist in front of him wielding a thunderbolt. "Helio-o-o-o-o-os!" he shouted as he flew.
Zeus tackled Helios to the ground, and trees broke under them. Zeus stood up. "Now, stand and fight me, O sun god!" Zeus was in the form of a giant man, the same size as Helios, wearing a toga, leather sandals, and laurels on his head. He crouched down, and lightning crackled over his body.
Helios stood up. "Is that your best O lord of thunder?" he grinned menacingly, as flames rippled over his golden skin.
The two gods charged at each other roaring exultantly like lions hunting. They smashed together, and it sounded like thunderclaps. BOOM! They tossed each other over the landscape, and wrestled rolling over mountains. Helios changed his body into what looked like molten steel, and his flames increased.
Lightning crackled over Zues, and his eyes glowed hot white. They slammed together again. KRAKK! Helios grabbed Zeus, by the arms, and swung him around, then tossed him into the sky like a hammer throw. "Helio-o-o-o-o-os!" shouted Zeus as he flew into a gathering of dark clouds in the sky which was already shrinking.
"There will be no storms in Rhodes today, brother!" called Helios up to the sky, and laughed heartily.

Basara, Raven and I were staring in amazement, and we couldn't help but laugh with the god.

All Tasks of the Year- Complete

Nomad was back. He said he wanted to go see the Colossus. I used Through the Never and focused on getting there. A portal opened up. The three of us went through the portal. On the other side we were standing on a boat. I wondered where the boat had come from. The boat had a really cool dragon head carved at the bow. Very detailed. Basara was rowing the boat from the back seat. Nomad stood up and walked to the front of the boat and stood there with one foot on the side of the boat.

"I'm going to laugh when you fall off," I said.

Nomad stuck his tongue out at me. He almost lost his balance before he stepped down into the boat. I asked Basara if he needed help. Basara said it was fine. He said the current was doing most of the work. He was just steering mostly. We approached the harbor. The Colossus was a huge golden statue that towered over the harbor on the left side. It was not straddling the harbor as many images show it. It was standing on a large pedestal on the left side of the harbor holding a torch out over the water with his right hand. I was thinking it probably doubled as a lighthouse beacon for approaching ships. The sheer size of the statue was amazing. It sparkled in the sunlight so that it looked like it was on fire. Beautiful. I wanted a closer look. I took to flight and headed for a closer look at the statue's face. I stopped when a bolt of lightning struck the statue. I jumped backwards in mid air. WTF? The statue came to life. I looked down at Nomad. Basara was staring at the live statue, clearly surprised. Nomad seemed amused.

Note: This got me distracted from the fact it was a dream... I went to semi-lucidity.

I turned back towards the statue. There were two huge figures now. The golden statue and another huge man in a toga with a crown who I instinctively knew was Zeus. I flew down to the boat and landed as the two giants broke into a fight. They wrestled on the ground, exchanged lightning bolt for fire ball. They fought in a massive way, clashing with the sound of thunder. Finally the golden statue threw Zeus into the sky and out of sight before returning to his pedestal and turning back into a normal statue. I was still staring at that. "Ok… that was weird…" I said to myself. Everything faded to black and I woke.

A shared lucid dream in the Lucid Task of the Year thread!

I completed the Temple of Artemis, here is my entry:



October 11, 2009
Lucid Dream 116: The Terror of Alma, Part 2: Death and Discovery
DEILD

Category - Exploration/Horror/Task


I performed the DEILD with relative ease. I was in a truly paranormal world. There was no solid ground around me and everything seemed to be fading in and out. Don't be confused, the clarity was awesome. Everything just seemed ghost-like and the environment also seemed to be melting before my eyes. It was an artisticly beautiful place. It however, had a very creepy feel to it.

Alma appeared in front of me and laughed a sinister little laugh and then disappeared once again. Soon the dream scene turned completely white and I was floating in white nothingness. I then saw a light form in the distance. I looked at it and it seemed to be dancing. Suddenly, it became brighter and brighter until I realized it was fire and it was approaching me at a fearful speed. I was soon engulfed in explosive flames. I could see Alma's face within the flames around me. I could hear her voice laughing from all angles. Suddenly everything went dark and I thought I was having a false awakening.

I stood up from a laying position. I looked into the darkness and could see something moving. In an instant the room lit up and their were many grotesque creatures/people in the room with me. They were deformed, mangled, and monstous. It reminded me of Silent Hill. I focused on changing the dream scene. The creatures began to scream and started advancing toward me. I thought back to the building with Alma and performed a teleportinh spin. It worked and I was now back into the room with Alma. I decided to try and counter her psychic attacks with my own. I attempted to imagine her destroying herself, but she just looked at me and laughed. I decided it would have to be more subtle. I slowly positioned myself in front of the red portal. I then attempted my psychic attack. I looked into her eyes and attempted to place thoughts into her mind. I psychically urged her to possess my body. I told her that if she possessed me, then there was no way I could destroy her. She would have control of me. Suddenly, her eyes grew dark and evil, in a flash she turned into a whispy, smokey form, and entered my body through my nose/mouth/eyes/etc. As soon as she entered, I turned and dove into the red portal.

I heard her scream and felt her release from my body. My vision went blank as I landed on the wooden floor. My vision soon cleared and the building seemed much different. It was now well lit, clean, and seemed like a comforting place. All the building occupants came out of their rooms and began celebrating. The halls filled with balloons, streamers, and music. I decided to ignore the party and exit the building.

I flew through one of the windows, and landed on a nearby grassy knoll. There was a single tree atop the knoll, and a large, floating mirror suspended in its shadow. I walked up to the mirror and saw no reflection in it. I immediately remembered the task of the year, and pictured the Temple of Artemis within the mirror. Soon a foggy image began to appear within the mirror. I looked away, imagined the temple, and looked back. There was now a crystal clear image of the temple, just beyond a small field, within the mirror. I attempted to travel "into" the mirror. I still feel the glass barrier blocking my way. It seemed to bend as I tried to force my way through. I then reached both hands into the mirror and stretched it much wider and much longer. It was now larger than I. I jammed my shoulder and right arm into the mirror and forced my way through the flexible glass. I then slowly worked my entire body through the glass. I was now standing in the large field. Upon gazing into the mirror the field was empty, but there was now a high school football game being played in the field. My clarity at this point was amazing (possibly the best I have ever had within a lucid). I ignored the game and flew to the front steps of the temple.

There were many people gathered around the entrance. They began singing, "Oh happy day (oh happy day)....when Jesus washed (when jesus washed)....he washed my sins away (oh happy day)..." I joined in (because I knew the words ) and we sand for a few minutes. I then decided to enter the temple. There seemed to be many statues (that resembled Buddha) all around the temple. It looked much like the picture above (which isn't surprising because it was my reference image). The main entrance was blocked by a large round boulder. I flew to the roof and joined a group of people who were standing there.

One of the DCs told me that there was a weak spot in the roof. He then leapt into the air and crashed through the roof. I hopped down into the temple. There were many statues and columns all around me. I also saw some pottery, vases, cups, etc. The DC then found another soft spot and crashed through the floor again. I hopped down and we were now in a musty concrete basement. In the middle of the floor was a wooden square. Upon the square there were words written in blood. They read, "Beware DCs." The guy beside me said, "I'm going to bust through it!" I looked at him and said, "Maybe you shouldn't slam your whole body through this time. A strong kick stomp, will be sufficient. He took my advice and shattered the wood covering.

There was a small pit filled with gray sand. I reached my hand into the sand and pulled out acrazy looking black rock. It was a half-sphere shape. The interior was smooth as glass, and had thick white, purple, and black rings. The outside was rough and uneven. I told the DCs, "This must be the sacred stone of Artemis." One of the DCs looked at it closely and said, "It looks like the meteorite from Spiderman." The stone then changed form and grabbed my arm like venom from the 3rd Spiderman movie. It melted through my skin and into my body. I could feel it moving swiftly through my veins. I held out my arm and could see my veins bubbling up and pulsing. It felt alot like an I.V., but more intense. I then held my hand out in the "web-shooting pose" and sure enough, a string of webs shot out of my wrist/hand. I flew up out of the temple, and landed back onto the roof.

I began shooting my webs and swinging down the nearby street. At first I kept getting my hand tangled in the web, halting my forward movement. I finally figured out how to smoothly transition from shooting the web, to grabbing and holding it for the swing. I began swinging smoothly down the street by hitting the powerlines with my web (which were perfectly spaced for me to swing down the street). I traveled into a large city and swung around it for an estimated 20 minutes or so. It was very cool. I awoke during this time.


Only one more to go.....

I finished the Lucid Task of the Year...

Who do I ask for my thingy from?

Thank you!

I completed the Mausoleum of Mausolus, which completes the Lucid Task of the Year for me. Here is my entry...



November 14, 2009
Lucid Dream 136: Live, From Within the Mausoleum
around 1:00pm
WILD

Category - Task/WTF


I just got home from work and was very tired. I decided to lay down immediately. After only a few moments I felt those familiar pulsing vibrations and prepared to WILD. After some interesting HI that consisted of floating balls of lava slamming into and melting objects (stars, chairs, each other), I completed my transition into a LD. I decided to just try and relax in this lucid. I got up off my bed, turned on the t.v., and then laid back down in front of it. Family Guy was on, but the screen size kept changing from small to big. It also moved around and even completely out of view sometimes. I changed the channel and there was a football game on. It was the Colts vs. the Crocs (yeah, I haven't a clue either, lol). The Colts were winning 72-12 in the third quarter. I laughed at this outrageous score. I watched the game for a moment and noticed the Colts were doing crazy ninja moves on the field. Reggie Wayne was performing triple front flips over defenders and catching passes with his feet. It was a very cool thing to watch. Suddenly, my t.v. shorted out and I decided to go do something else since I now felt energized.

I dove head first out of my back window and took flight. I flew over a couple mountains and I noticed I was approaching a large white structure. I flew lower and as I closed in I noticed it was the Mausoleum of Mausolus. I flew up and landed in front of it. It was much larger than I had first thought it to be. There were many statues placed all around it and many that seemed to be sticking out of the exterior walls. I walked around looking at the statues and saw one of Madusa, several elvish people, a merman, rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, a snowman, several mythical beast, and the Dallas Cowboys star. There were more, but that is all I can remember. I walked all the way around (which took nearly 15 minutes) and came back around to the entrance. I thought I saw a flash of lime green light come from the doorway. I looked at the dorrway more closely and I could see colorful lights flashing from the inside. I entered the Mausoleum and immediately heard loud disco music.

It was fairly dark around the edges of the massive room, but in the middle was a large wooden dance floor that was being lit up by a giant disco ball (at least 20 feet in diameter) and flashing colorful strobe lights. There were many people out on the dance floor and all of them were wearing authentic togas and laurel wreathes on their heads. There were men and women alike. I walked up to the closest guy and asked, "What exactly is going on here?" He replied, "Dude! This is a wicked spot for lucid toga parties don't you think?" I laughed and said, "Well...yeah...I suppose so." I then said, "Why disco?" He replied, "Dude, disco is the new thing man." I said, "New? What are you from the 70's?" He said, "Oh! You must be one of those future dreamers. What year is it where your from?" I told him it was almost 2010 in real life. He then told me that lucid dreamers are from all different time eras. He said that since we both were visiting the Maussolleum at the exact same time (even though he was in 1976 and I was 2009), we were there on the same day out of the year and the same time of the day, that we could run into people from the passed and future. He then told me that I had to put on a toga and he handed me one along with a laurel wreath. I put it on and he handed me a beer and a joint. I told him thanks.

He then introduced me to a guy from the year 2026. I asked him if lucid dreaming was very popular. He told me that it was much more popular than in my era. I asked him if weed was legal and he told me that it was legal in 34 of the fifty states. He also informed me that Virginia was the main anti-legalization state and that they would likely never legalize it. I replied, "Pffft, It f***'n figures. Virginia laws suck." I then asked him if Tony Romo had won any Super Bowls. He smiled and said, "He is in the Hall of Fame, but I think i'll let you find out for yourself if he won any Super Bowls." I was drawing blanks and couldn't think of any more questions to ask him. Plus, the joint was making me feel very weird.

I suddenly saw several things I hadn't noticed before. There was a smiling polar bear out on the dance floor. He was wearing one roller blade and spinning in a circle keeping his bare foot in one spot on the floor, but rotated it as he spun. I then noticed it was dancing with another polar bear who had no skates on, but seemed to float off the ground every few moments. There were also several cartoon people dancing on the floor. Each of them seemed to be doing some strange and unique dance. The guy from '76 walked up to me and said, "So, you seeing some sh** yet?" I said, "Yeah, actually. How did you know?" He casually said, "How did I know? You always see shit when you smoke LSD laced weed." I laughed and took another hit. Suddenly the disco ball seperated into about 30 smaller disco balls and they floated all around the room. I noticed most everybody was smoking and half the people were naked or damn near close to being naked. After a bit more smoking and seeing crazy shit that I no longer remember, I awoke from the dream.
