Task of the Month for January 2009

[ninja9578]

Introduction: This topic is for the Lucid Tasks that are assigned by me or voted on by experienced dreamers. Please attempt one or both of these tasks throughout the month. Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task, your efforts should make interesting reading! This is required in order to get credit, it is no longer sufficient just to say that you did it. Whoever completes either of these tasks gets the following goodies until the end of the month: Your name will be displayed in ORANGE in the online members list at the bottom of the main forum page. You will receive a special title and badge. You will receive access to the "Lucid Task Club" which is a limited access forum for people that complete the lucid task each month. Tasks for this month: Basic Task - Go Ice Skating Advanced Task - Visit the Lost City of Atlantis

Lost City Of Atlantis - Visiting I am riding something like a chariot, out in the middle of the ocean, that the front wheels suddenly collapse on, which dumps me and the chariot straight down into the ocean. When I get to the bottom of the ocean I notice that I am able to breath underwater. There are all of these small colorful fish swimming around, the kind you would see in an aquarium at a zoo, light blue, a very pretty dark blue, light and dark green, brown spotted fish, and some yellow fish, but no red fish. I am wondering why there are no red or orange colored fish down here. There is something like a large ship in front of me, which when I look closer, now appears to be the walls of an ancient city. As I go inside there is this miniature replica of the Lost City Of Atlantis. There are all of these tiny castles and building that are only about a foot tall all over the inside of this place. It is really quite amazing looking with street and street signs, etc. I am thinking that someone really went to a lot of work to build this replica of the Lost City Of Atlantis. (I am a little disappointed when I wake up from this lucid that I only found a miniature replica of this city, until I start reading up on it more on the internet, after which I then understood what my subconscious mind was telling me.)

Tonight's to-do list. Orange name for a month yew.

Looking around, feeling sick and restless. I start telling myself to shut-up. There's dim light and it's very cold. I can feel ice around my hands, as if there is ice moving around them. I clench my fists and the ice cuts through my skin. The pain enhances the lucidity, and the schizophrenic delirium drops. I create feet, cutting away at rapidly growing flesh with ice that is sticking through my hands. I cut at the webbing between my feet, and put them down onto the ice. The ice is really dry and I stick to it, so I forcefully break through the ice and fall onto another sheet, which has shallow puddles forming all over it. I thrust my arms downwards and searing ice shoots out from them, bridging to the platform of ice I am standing on. It feels very sharp against my arms. I use my arms to guide me forward with my feet slushing through the glossy looking ice. I'm am very focused, deliberately keeping control over the environment. I keep tearing through the ice faster with my feet, no longer using arms to move. There is a lot of pain being wilfully induced - the ice shards are cutting through and moving in my legs and feet, but there's no blood. A wall of ice is coming up, and water starts raining down on me. I feel each drop of water, whether it hits my body or the ice floor. I close my eyes and put my legs into the ice whilst falling backwards but still moving, immersing myself under the ice. I let the feeling of all the cold move towards the centre of my forehead, then let the feeling disappear. I create a body, making it feel warm and sticky, but then wake up to a nosebleed. I ended up only doing the Basic Task.

Hello all, I'm a lurker of this thread. I'd try these tasks if I could get lucid more often and last a while. I'd suggest something: Maybe you could add an Master Task / Ultimate Task that asks you to do morally/ethically wrong things that you'd never do in real life. Example: Kill a baby, eat your puke, make out with an animal, sleep with a relative etc. You can guess how disgusting and hard it'd get...

I will never do something in my dreams I wouldn't do in real life. That would disable me to do the master task. Not fair.

[Hercuflea]

Lol FAIL

Last night I had a dream that I was speed skiing (That day I just went sking my first time) And I dreamed that I beat the guy I was raceing but he keep saying he won.. (Never lucid BTW)

[Sylph]

Oh, I am SO gonna try these.

[magical mike]

I had another LD last night but I forgot!!! Well, I was near the ocean, and I new I wa sdreaming, because I was talking about how weird it would be if I was dreaming right then, then I grabed my sister and said "Hooowwwdeee I am dreaming!" Then I couldent talk, and I looked around, and I was at looked like some place in florida..

[redisreddish]

Hey, i can't believe it, but i actually managed to have a lucid dream the night i read this! i went ice skating... i was sitting there and im like "wait, i'm suposed to go ice skating!" then i made a big frozen pond in front of me and, well, went skating. (sorry, smile is off topic, but, holy cow, its cute)

[hellohihello]

When I LD I am going to try both at the same time! Go ice skating on the water to get to Atlantis! Does this count?

Plus, I doubt member would want to do thing that are ethically immoral. When I LD I am going to try both at the same time! Go ice skating on the water to get to Atlantis! Does this count? It doesn't matter how you execute it, as long as you did the tasks.

[Creation X]

Finally one of my suggestions lol (atlantis)

[magical mike]

Last night I was so UBER SICK (Today I had to go to the hospital and get two shots in my thigh, which hurt really bad) But anyways last night (Or the night before this night) I was having non stop lucids. I would lay in my bed, not being able to fall asleep. And I just seen faint images, not cleat, almost like I was imagining them, then I just tried to interact with them.. I Could control them through thought, but I couldn't fell anything in them.. Even when I had a full normal lucid dream, I felt so bad in the dream I just on purposely lost consciousness. Oh and in my first dream I had we went on vacation to Atlantis, I remember seeing a big sign that said "Welcome to Atlantis! Home of the" Thats all I could really make out, not even sure if thats what it said all the way or not. But it shouldn't count because it wasn't that interesting, and I on purposely lost consciousness, and dint do anything at all.

Last night I was waterskiing. Damn, I should have frozen the water.

[panta-rei]

Okay, I was in a Walmart (I hate Walmart...) with friends, and we were looking for pudding... Don't know why. And suddenly I realized I was dreaming, so I thought to what was the task for the month... Originally I thought of the santa's sleigh, but remembered that was wrong. I remembered pitching ice skating as an idea, so I did that... I didn't go anywhere else... I made the store icy. I first made all the water fountains run, and turned on all the sinks in the bathroom, and started the fire sprinklers. Soon there was quite a bit of water in the store, about a foot deep. So I knocked over all the freezers, and opened up the ice cream shelves. Soon all the water turned to ice. So I slid my way to the sports section, and put on some skates... and I ice skated, using shelves as supports at first, and then when I was more sure of myself, i grabbed some toys, and me and the friends who were with me played hockey for a while. Unfortunately, I fell and that woke me up.
