Lucid Dream 22: The Task Hunt
WILD
around 1:00pm



I decided to try Jeff777's technique again. I was very tired and had already slept about 5 broken up hours. I laid still for 30 minutes and had no success. Like last time, I gave up and rolled over on my side. I then began slipping into my WILD. I immediately heard footsteps running around me. I ignored them and remained calm. I then heard a woman screaming in the background. To prevent myself from waking up in fear I said out loud, "You can't scare me. Your not real." I then remained calm as the screaming got louder. I felt my body began to spin and then it stopped. I sat up and opened my eyes.

I was in a dark, gloomy, ransacked sanctuary. I rubbed my hands together to clear my vision up a bit. I noticed there was a demon running around the church. It seemed to be oblivious to my presence. I ignored it and walked to the front of the sanctuary. I saw a dead woman laying on the alter with her stomach, blood, and guts lying in the floor below her. I thought, "Well, thats why she was screaming." I walked outside and like usual it was night time, but not very dark. I took off into flight and flew across the church yard. I had the feeling of being followed, so I touched down and then immediately lept backwards into a tree. The demon from the church ran under me and in the direction I had been flying. I dropped out of the tree and performed a super human sprint and grabbed the demon by the neck. It then turned into a frog and slipped out of my hands. It hopped away into a bush. I left it alone and took flight again.

I landed in a field that was full of electric fences set up in a grid-like formation. I began jumping in and out of the fences doing backflips and various tricks. I then remembered the task of the month. I turned to look for a rainbow and saw one not too far away. I took a couple monsterous leaps and arrived at the base of the rainbow. It suddenly lit up like neon lights. I hopped up on top of the rainbow, walked to the top of the arch and then took a seat (the rainbow bent slightly as I walked toward the top, but seemed overall pretty stable). I looked closely at the rainbow. It was ridged and looked like the sole of rubber-soled sneaker. Whenever I felt it however, it was kindo of squishy, like gel insoles. I then looked out into the horizon and took in the cool night air. After a while just chill'n on the rainbow, I stood up and got some momentum in order to slide down the rainbow on my butt. Afterwards I thought, "How am I going to find green eggs and ham?" An old mini van suddenly pulled up on the street beside me.

I hopped the tall fence and asked the lady in the van if she had any green eggs and ham. She nodded yes and then handed me two eggs out of the glove box. They were hard boiled, but still had the shell on them. They only green spotted, so I looked away, thought of the color green, and then looked back and they were solid green. I took a bite, shell and all, and it tasted like how old easter eggs smell. I then asked the lady if she had any ham. She then said, "No, you'll have to go to the diner for that." I awoke shortly after this.

I love the Green Eggs and Ham food fight, Oneironaut. And your make-out session on the skittles sign brings new meaning to their tag line "Tast The Rainbow"

KingYoshi, I don't know if I would eat eggs out of the glove box of some random lady's van. Gross!

I can't believe March is already over. It flew by so fast, I never did get around to try this month's tasks.

Lol, they tased like they had been in there a while. Maybe roasted in the sun a bit too!

Sooo, I was in a LD two mornings ago, I won't repeat it all it is in my DJ. I was in a Victorian style house and a tea party was taking place, there were little pastries everywhere and I ate some, they were really sweet Then I remembered the March task, so I began yelling "I need green eggs and ham!" I began wondering the house and asking anyone who passed if they had any, no luck. Then I entered another room and undernieth a coffee table was a small sunny side-up egg. It was normal colored, so I concentrated on making it green, I tried so hard! Then the egg bubbled up and this red stuff spewed from it, it was gross I admited defeat and went on my merry lucid way

Ugh, only one day left.....

Hey everyone...
Just got back from an extended camping trip in which I successfully completed March's task of the month. Even though I did it on the 18th, I didn't get internet access until now - just in the nick of time it seems! Anyway, here is what happened (view my dream journal to read the whole account):

ATTEMPT #1: SUCCESS
03/18/09

[...] In the next scene I can recall, I find myself within a big expanse of open country, surrounded by lakes. A storm front moves in and it starts raining, but there are patches of sky where light is still filtering through. This reminds me of my DV Task of the Month goal: to walk on a rainbow. None are present, so I decide to make one. At first I give a half-hearted effort at spinning a new dream scene, but it doesn’t work and I realize that this is the perfect spot anyway. Next I try creating the rainbow by tracing its arc across the sky with my middle and pointer fingers. It takes a few tries at first, but this eventually works! The rainbow itself is a bit dull, but it’s there so I can’t complain.

Then I try finding the source of the rainbow so that I can approach it properly. I fly over the landscape until I see where the colorful light touches the ground. It happens to be right at the cusp of a cliff overlooking a lake. Strangely, it starts snowing while I am still a few steps from touching the rainbow. By the time I get there just seconds later, a few feet of snow have already accumulated. It gets me thinking the wrong thought: what else could possibly stop me from completing my goal? Of course, to think it is to in some sense expect it, and to oblige me a huge African rhinoceros comes charging at me from behind! I’m not lucid enough to control or ignore it, so I run in terror – though I do run up the rainbow itself. Strangely, with all the snow, a lot has accumulated on the rainbow’s surface, lending it a colorful, translucent quality. The splotches of color, however, are not striped but rather are concentric circles. I see all of this in a flash as I make a panicked jump out of the path of the charging rhino.

Of course, Mr. Rhino isn’t just passing by, but is actively hunting me down, so he turns around for another pass. This time I’m on the rainbow itself, which is really narrow, so there’s not much space for dodging at all. When he’s within feet of me, I just instinctively grab a colored snowball (which happens to be orange) and chuck it at the rhino. To my amazement, this causes him to turn into jelly, taking on the orange color of the snowball but keeping roughly the same rhino shape. Seizing the moment, I sprint past the gelatin-like rhinoceros and run further up the rainbow. However, the rhino doesn’t stand frozen like that for long; he returns to his usual form and charges at me again, angrier than ever. Knowing now how to neutralize him, I once again throw an orange snowball at him when he gets close. This works, and we continue this game for a while – the rhino charging, me turning him to jelly, until the scene changes.

[...]

In the new scene I am outdoors in an open space not unlike the previous rainbow scene, once again fully lucid. I decide that the other rainbow didn’t really count and that I want to create a more “pure” rainbow walk experience. So this time, with considerably less difficulty, I trace a beautiful rainbow across the sky with my fingertips. It’s bright and vibrant – how a rainbow should look. I fly over to where it meets the ground, although here the light looks a bit duller, but at least there are no rhinos! I make the first step onto it, and as I walk on its surface, I notice the “material” to be a thin, translucent, papier-mâché type substance. By all means it should not hold my weight, but it does. Further, as I press onward, the rainbow’s arc flattens out, but only in anticipation for my approach, for not ten feet in front of me the arc remains intact. I walk, run, and fly around this marvelous creation for a while, but eventually the scene changes once again...

//That was a lot of fun, albeit quite unexpected. Can't wait to try next month's task!

Nicely done guys
