Mausoleum Of Maussollos - Going In A Painting And Visiting
I am someplace like an art gallery where I am taking down this large painting of an ancient building off of this easel. After taking the painting down I hang it from the ceiling. After looking at it, I realize that it is a painting of the Mausoleum Of Maussollos. I enter the picture and am now inside the building.

On the first floor, there are all of these larger statues about 5 to 6 feet tall. As I float up to the next floor, the statues here are smaller, except for a couple of statues right inside the door, as most of these statues are about 2 to 3 feet tall. There are shelves along the walls which are sort of like trophy cases with even smaller statues on them.

There are also small statues on the third and fourth floors, in addition to several paintings on the wall. In addition to the statues, there are these miniature models of carriages on the shelves of this floor.

When I get up to the fifth floor, the statues on this floor are larger like they were on the first floor, and in the middle of this floor there is a gold chariot. When I float outside to explore, this place seems to be in a desert, as it is all sandy.

Wow, that sounds awesome man.

Thanks. I never know what to expect from my subconscious, because it always surprises me at the way it approaches these tasks. When it gets good and ready, then the tasks get completed, and usually in a way that I had not even considered doing them.

I absolutely love this idea.

I liked last years, but I was but a novice then and could not participate.
However I'm dying to start on this, and will do so as soon as I can.

I try to fly randomly (I can’t remember exactly when) and then I remember the Dreamviews Task of the Year. So I decide to go to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. I can see it in my head, so I think I have a chance.

I try everything.

I try writing it on a piece of paper and clicking the link. I try opening a door and expecting to be there (and actually ending up in my garden instead). I try flying there by launching myself off a plank. Nothing works. I even try going to the development behind my house to find something to jump off.

I fail. But I try.

Meh, well ... I tried. And WILL TRY AGAIN! lol

You'll get there soon, you got plenty of time. I gotta start too

I want to try this one as well. The last task I tried( visit the planets) failed so bad. I have a REALLY hard time flying

Aww, don't worry, flying is easy.

hmm i really want to do this but iv only had once lucid dream which im not going to talk about it was very very very semi lucid after that dream I lost all my dream recall... iv still got 11 and a half months to start lucid dreaming...

good luck to everyone else trying to do it

Yeah I got one! Now I'm on my way. I'm gonna do it this year.

I had a failure on the 8th but I succeeded on the 11th.

Normal dream parts are in green and lucid parts are in blue.

Next thing I remember I’m in a hotel near the temple. I went to my room where I was staying. I was lying down, but I decided to get up. There was a guy in the hotel lobby taking photographs of people doing drugs. I asked him what he was doing and he wanted me to get out of the way. I proceeded to skip down the hallway and I noticed that my movements seemed like they were in slow motion. I thought it was pretty cool and that it seemed like something that would happen in a dream. Then I realized it could be a dream. I looked at my hand and it looked a little strange and I realized I was dreaming. I started flying down the hall back toward my room. I went in my room and the dream was fading. I tried touching things to stabilize it. The visuals faded and I just tried imagining touching the great pyramid for the task of the year. But whenever I tried touching something it just felt like the wallpaper in the hotel room.

The hotel room visuals reformed a bit and I went out the window of my room. Outside there was some concrete and I was trying to touch that and imagine it was the great pyramid, but that didn’t work. I started feeling my real hand and I woke up.

SUCCESS!

I just assumed I was still dreaming this time. I didn’t open my eyes. I went into the bathroom. I decided I’d crawl though my mirror and try to get the Great Pyramid to appear. It felt like going through a pool of water. I couldn’t see anything yet, but I felt myself climbing up the Great Pyramid. As I was climbing, the visuals formed. I could now see the Great Pyramid and another large pyramid. However, both were inside a giant room that looked to be made out of sand. Also, they were colored red and blue and had rounded edges. I got to the top of the pyramid quickly. I then jumped down from the top.

I wanted to go inside. I had to go around to the entrance. When I got around the corner, something came out of nowhere and tried to attack me. It was some sort of animal warrior that ran on all fours and had a spear. When it got to me, somehow I stole its spear and hit it with it. It was knocked out. I thought it was cool that I won the fight that easily.

When I went inside, I wanted to go down, but it only went up. I started going up. It was a long way to the end of the corridor. I was looking around at the interior. I was also colored blue and red and tan. It was in a semi checkerboard style, but it was really fancy. It was all very brightly lit like there was a sky light at the top of the pyramid. Whenever I looked forward, the dream would start to fade. So, I tried walking forward while looking off to the side but the dream faded.

I was going to start recording my dream, but there was someone in my bed. I didn’t think much of it and tried to record my dream. There were 3 mechanical doll people next to the bed too. They dropped off these spheres. The spheres were colorful and surrounded by a fancy wire design. These were the spheres of dreaming. One was science, one was religion. There were two other ones which I can’t recall now (humor maybe?). I asked one of the dolls to bring me the science sphere.

When they dropped the spheres off, they would disintegrate, but one of them stayed intact. I saw that the room I was in looked just like the pyramid interior and I realized I was dreaming again. My mom was there now (the person in the bed from before?). I told her that I was dreaming and she said, “yeah.” Then I told one of the weird mechanical dolls that and it whipped out its arm at lightning speed and it hit me right in the chest. It was a strong pain and I woke myself up.

I also visited the Colossus too. I'll post that when I get to typing up the recording.

Nicely done

I added a progress bar for everyone on the first post. Maybe a little extra motivation "(for me, whose yet to do one ) iadr, I didn't realize you were so far along, you've only got two left and it's only March

Ugh. last night in the dream I remembered to do the basic task but then I ended up staring at myself in a mirror. :/ I shall try again.

Woh, this is gonna be a hard one 0_o

Nice job iadr, looks like you might be the first to complete it, and it's only March Only the statue of Zeus left

Last night I finished the Hanging gardens of Babylon. I'm writing this about 1 hour after waking up from it:

So I actually induced this dream using a new WILD technique where you focus on your "third eye" and your breathing. It worked pretty well, so as soon as I entered the dream I was already in the hanging gardens of Babylon because I was already thinking about it. It was pretty amazing. It reminded me of a place where I had had a dream a while ago. There was a pool, and it was surrounded by white marble floors and pillars. The entire place was deserted so I created some DCs to walk around and swim. There were staris leading up to a balcony which looked over the pool, and I could see the Tower of Babel in the backround. There were lush plants flowing all over the place; hanging from the tops of the roofs and off to the sides of the stairwell. There were also coal black stautes of horses and dragons in various places. After I walked back down the balcony, the DCs were all gone, so I created some more. The pool had a gold bottom, and I dove in and felt it. It was bumpy and slippery. I punched my hand through it and grabbed a big chunk of gold. I got out of the water and looked at it for a while. I just kind of flew around the place for a while and looked around. I had to hand rub to increase the clarity a few times, and I could tell that I was coming to the end of my dream. I had to consciously keep my eyes closed as I did so intense dream spinning and concentrating for about a minute until the dream finally regained full-stability and I probably had another good hour of sleep. I just sat on one of the marble ledges and looked at a flower in a pot it was violet with red petal tips. I made it grow to about 10 feet tall, then I made it shrink again. I started to get bored so flew over to the tower of Babel and just sat on the top of it and looked over at the garden. It was dark and gloomy and I could feel a cold mist on my face.

That's about all I can recall of the garden part of the dream. I remember making my way back to my house after that.

Finished The Temple of Artemis.

Okay, right before I went to bed last night, I looked up pics of the temple and apparently there is some confusion over what it actually looked like. There are many different drawings and , so I finally just picked one:



I studied this before going to bed last night so that I could save the image in my mind. The first dream I had was non-lucid, then I woke up to get some water. When I got back in bed, I performed a WILD (first WILD attempt by the way and it was successful ) and found myself at school. I flew really high in the air and went until I saw a desert. I touched down right at the edge of a big mountain. As I ran up the mountain, I visualized finding an oasis with the Temple in the middle of it. It worked, once I looked over the mountain it was there. I glided down the mountain floating a couple of feet off the ground. I walked right up to the temple and admired the shear size and vividness of it. The entire structure was gleaming white marble. It reminded me of the entrance to The Statue of Zeus. I counted 8 rows of pillars going across. I walked right in and it was very warm inside, surprisingly. I shimmed up one of the pillars for fun, then jumped across to others and grabbed on. The ceiling was plain and flat. No designs or anything. I created some swirly designs by looking away and looking back. There was nothing really in the Temple besides pillar so I wondered the point of it. I walked outside and decided to destroy it. I used telekinesis to make it sway to the right until the pillars buckled and crumbled in half. There was a big dust cloud when it crashed into the ground.

That's about it for the task this time. I went on to do other stuff after that



Congrats iadr, only one more to go!

Yay! I successfully completed Colossus of Rhodes last night.

I became lucid in my grandpa's house in Wisconsin. I remembered the Colossus of Rhodes task and I teleported over to a ship port. There were a lot of old fashioned sailboats docked there, and it instantly reminded me of Pirates of the Carribean (probably where I had gotten the image from). I walked over to the end of a dock and summoned the Colossus. It had it's feet planted on two big brick cubes in the middle of the water. It's hand was stretched over it's head and was holding a torch. It was a blackish jade color, and he was really muscular. I swam over to it, the water was really cold. I scrambled onto one of the brick supports and saw his giant foot planted there. I noticed that his hand not holding the torch now had a bow and arrow in it. It wasn't there when I looked at it from the dock. I floated myself up to his eye level and looked at his face. I pictured him blinking, and he did. It was kind of scary actually, I didn't put my hand by his face because I was afraid he would bite it since that is what I pictured happening. Behind him was horizon, it was getting dark. The sun was setting and there were beautiful red and orange clods in the sky. I dove off of his shoulder towards the water. Right before I hit the water I glided across it, skimming it with my belly. I looked back over my shoulder and the bow and arrow was gone. Strange. The flame on the torch had turned green and it illuminated a lot of light. Everything was dark now, and only the colossus was glowing now in the night. I couldn't find my way back to the dock. I woke up then.

Pretty fun dream. It ended kind of abruptly though. I didn't bother with trying to save the dream because I knew I wasn't tired anymore and I was going to wake up. I'm gonna try the Mausoleum of Maussollos next

No, I'm sure that I just overlooked them. Added now

I attempted to find the Pyramid.
It was a utter failure!

I am going to re-try in my next lucid dream

I'm sure you will, pyramids are cool.

Sweet! Did the Light Tower of Alexandria! copy and paste =]
Light Tower of Alexandria[Also, cool lucid induction =]]
I was playing guitar at the beach. I am pretty sure I was playing something by bach, maybe BVW 996. But I hit one note that sounded particularly angelic and I suddenly went lucid. I was pretty concious, but the clarity was horrible. I scream "Increase Clarity!"*
It got 'brighter' and I decided to explore. I put my guitar down and walked to a jeti. I treid to remember what the tasks were, And I remember The Light House of Alexandria and The Temple Of Artemis. I figured that it would be easier to get to a light house, but I would mess up my order. Oh well.
I jumped into the water, my hair whipping back as I did. I looked at the marine life, then emerged. I was looking at a light house, and I decided to try and look through third person. I then saw myself swimming in the water, and I moved closer to the light house. I got on land, And walked toward the giant sillouhette. There was a rope ladder, so I decided to climb up. When I got near the top, it became a lucid nightmare*yay =]
I was near a window, and I saw something moving in it. I stepped up the ladder and peered in. Suddenly, a ferocious looking zombie jumped out and hit me in the chest. I flew while kicking the zombie off of me. Eventually, I glided toward the water. I hit the water in slow motion and woke up =[ Pretty fun dream.

I liked it, muc better then Zues =]
