ALMOST HAD IT. I had a lucid today where I flew with the assistance of a DC (I can't do it very well myself) and remembered the cloud task. I went up but the clouds didn't get any closer, and unfortunately the clouds wouldn't get any closer and so I was saaaaaaaaaad.
You have to let it all go, TunaSammich(mmmm): fear, doubt, disbelief.
I don't have fear, but I guess I just doubt myself. The closest I got to flying was my most recent LD, where I took a "flying pill" but I couldn't steer. It resulted in a crash and I woke up.Quote:

I did it!!! I did the cloud one!!!
It was a WILD. I was in some building with my sis and old neighbor, my sister's friend. I was just like, "okay, don't forget that WE'RE dreaming". "Let's just play around a bit first" (I don't get this part either) "then we'll be able to do the fun stuff."
All of a sudden we were outside and it was really cloudy. I was just like "watch how it's done". "When I open my eyes, clouds will be gone" (well I meant less clouds). And it worked! I went up to the sky with one arm shot up. When I was near a small cloud, to make sure that I'd be able to ride it this time, I said "this will work". And it did. I held the cloud and it started to carry me. My sis and her friend were flying slightly in front of me. I was like "woo-hoo" and I woke up. I even felt the breeze!
So I say I did both tasks :boogie: . This was a really long lucid dream for me.
I started out lucid in my room and left my room. I was repeating to myself "i am lucid dreaming i am lucid dreaming" i floated down stairs and stoped and tried to stabalize a little. i decided that i was going to try and open the door into a different scene. I wanted a sort of beach and ocean. Then I opened the door and it was a paradise right at the end of my driveway. So i flew up i dive into the water and i did but it transformed into the street only slightly flooded.
So i went looking behind some houses and hoping to find a beach or a pool, I found a scummy pool but said that i know this is only a dream but i am not swimming in that.
The scene changed and I was on a plane still lucid. talking to some dream character that keept talking about "Rule 9" so I asked what she was talking about and she pulled out some paper and said i was going to make and agreement with her. I asked to see it and know the rules and she said i couldn't read it she had to show me. Including how i could hurt her. then she started talking about something else and i got bored and said plz show me how to hurt you "Rule 1". then she was explaing about how if i removed easter eggs from vents they would suck people into them. Then i did it. and she got stuck to the floor. then she started talking again and i was eating and sorta listening then it hit me I should do the task of the month fly a cloud. So i start yelling out "come to me flying nimbus" what i had thought when i first heard the task (flying nimbus is a flying cloud from anime Dragon Ball) nothing happened so i open the door to the plane which was over water but now really close the ground. I thought well i can still dive off of this So i dived off and fell a little until i hit the ground with my head. Then i went on calling out for flying nimbus. Eventually Goku showed up on the flying nimbus and i asked if i could fly it then I jumped on behind him and flew for a little bit then i asked since he could fly if i could just have the nimbus. He started some story about how he was over 2000 years old and i talked to him about some stuff until my dream ended.
So i did them both now gimme all my cool Task of the month club goodies.
I did the advanced task of the month!
Here's the dream!
So, I'm in a building currently under construction with 3 friends, the one which we sneaked onto the roof of the previous day. One of my friends says "I bet if you jump out that window you could fly" and I think to myself 'What the F---?' So I did the nose RC and remembered that this is the building we sneaked onto yesterday, and so this must have been a dream, as I also had no memory of going up this second time.
(Lucidity Begins Here)
I dived toward the window and flew straight through, over the suburbs in the general area. It was surreal, this was also the first time I have achieved controlled flight by myself in a lucid! :boogie: I saw clouds and remembered the lucid task of the month, so I flew up towards them, and I had the same problem as last time, they wouldn't get any closer. So I summoned a flying motorcycle, and they still, stayed glued in the sky like how they seem in real life, only slightly shifting.
I remembered what Shift wrote (Thanks! :bowdown:) "You have to let it all go, TunaSammich(mmmm): fear, doubt, disbelief." So I told myself I could do anything, it was a dream. This time, as I accelerated my flying motorcycle, the cloud grew nearer and nearer! Eventually I was directly beneath it, and flew through the bottom onto the top. The motorcycle sank halfway in, it's a shame I didn't decide to feel the cloud. It wasn't going very fast, and as I admired the view, I noticed a not-so-close friend of mine on a motorcycle of his own! Very similar to mine, but not flying. I rode my flying motorcycle off the cloud and towards him, and I went into 3rd person. Eventually I willed myself back into a 1st person perspective, but the dream began to fade. Suddenly, it was the "blurry dream blackness" and I felt my bed. I thought to my self "No way it can be over" and did another nose RC (This one works best for me)
I could still breathe, and therefore was still dreaming, and attempted to manually render a dream scene. It was very clumsy, but I was back on my motorcycle amidst a massive field with a highway running through it, going towards a city which was still popping into view. I did a nose RC out of habit of seeing this weird stuff happening, and everything became even more crystal clear. The buildings in the distance were no longer obscured by fog, and they were incredibly clear, like I was right beside them. I could see every detail, very vivid. I felt everything, my "butt" on the seat, my "eyes" being open. Everything. It was so surreal, and as I revved the accelerator to my fly-bike, everything began to fade to blackness. My dream was over.
FUN! :D
Yeaaaaa Matrix quotes ftw :tongue: Now, try to keep that mindframe and if you do, every single lucid will have 100% control! :boogie:
That's where I recognized it from. :PQuote:

I shall try again now, im about to go to bed, as im writing this, its 11:17. :)
I has no wings! D:
Yea... ninja still hasn't made any yet...
Yeah, look at the front of htis page! D: I see wings with cloud nd wings with diving board! Do I have to do 2 in a row or something?
huh? one is for the advanced task(cloud one if I'm not mistaken) and the other for the diving one. If you did both, I think you would get the advanced task wings :PQuote:

I guess not...Quote:
Whoever completes either of these tasks gets the following goodies until the end of the month:
Ehhh... I'll just be patient. Hopefully I get to see what's going on in the cool kids section of the forum sometime soon.
no, I meant IF you did both, they will give you the advanced one, otherwise, you get the wings for whatever you did :)Quote:

Eventually...
Not sure if that was for me or TunaSammich, but what I was telling him is that if you did both tasks, I'm assuming you get the advanced task one(cloud one), otherwise, if you did only one, you get the wings for that task :)Quote:

All the clouds were really big and broken up, so I just summoned a little small yellowish cloud (like the flying nimbus). I layed on my stomache with my feet hanging off the edge a little, and I then shot straight ahead really fast and started to climb. Petty soon I was really high up and the cars looked like little toys. The sky was bright blue, and there was not a cloud in the sky anymore. I could feel the wind as I picked up speed. I nosedived and made a hard turn to the right as I held on. I could feel the cloud starting to disspate and I started to sink into it. So I straightened out and just hovered in the air, moving forward really slowly as I began to repair the cloud by creating some fluff from my hands and sticking it onto the cloud. I flew around for a while longer doing some loops and barrel rolls, then I got tired of it and decided to go do something else.
So that's about it for the cloud riding part of the dream :)
I already did the cloud task exactly one week ago, but today I had another lucid dream and I did the diving task for the fun of it and thought I should share it. I had the dream during a nap today and at some point I became lucid; although I can't remember when that quite happened. It was a DILD and those are still a tricky thing for me and they feel very different than a WILD (at least mine seem different).
The part of the dream I remember was I was in this place with really thick bushes, kind of like manzanita bushes except they didn't have any leaves. I was walking through these trails through the brush and came to this area where on both sides of the trail where these dirt and rock faces, kind of like a small canyon. After walking through that I came to this hole in the ground. The hole had something like roots lining the inside and the hole was really deep, like a hundred feet deep or something. I started climbing the roots and I think it was at this point that I became lucid or at least shortly after.
Now I was lucid and at the bottom of the hole. The walls where made of dark gray stone and there was a large pool of water. The water was a beautiful light blue color and the bottom was all sandy. I remembered the diving task and I figured this would be a good dream to dive in so I dove into the water. I spent a long time swimming and breathing under the water. It was so much fun. I could hear the water splashing and it felt so real.
At some point I woke up which was annoying, but I just kept my eyes closed and tried to imagine myself swimming in the water. After a minute or so sleep paralysis started and I found myself back in the water. I swam some more, but this time I wasn't in the cavern/grotto thing. I was in a creek or river outside in the middle of these green grassy hills. The water still had the beautiful blue hue to it. After swimming some more I went out and walked into this building that must have been close by. The interior was like an office setting with cubicles, computers, and other stuff, but there were no people around. Then I had this desire to find a mirror and look into it. The reason is that I've had this fear of mirrors in dreams because in one lucid dream I looked into a mirror and the image was really distorted and it frightened me. I was feeling good though after the swim and felt more at peace so I decided to face my fear. I tried to make a mirror appear, but that didn't work. Then I saw a metal cabinet thing and just imagined that one would be on in the inside. I opened the door and sure enough a mirror was in there so I looked into it. The image was distorted, but it was more fun than scary. I spent some time looking into the mirror and was amazed at the details of the image of myself even though it was distorted. After that I woke up to some loud noise outside, but I had a lot of fun with the dream.
Nice dream :)Quote:

In the second, I was swimming in the ocean in Santa Cruz with my brother. I remember thinking to myself, "Was that pool party from earlier today? Was that in Santa Cruz also? Did I drive home first, then drive back here? I wonder if I'm going to get sunburned from this long day in the sun."
Where are my prizes?
Basic Lucid task completed
I woke up from this one after about an hour and a half of sleeping. That's all I slept last night, and I recalled other dreams too. I had better recall in that hour and a half than I did in the seven hours of the night before. That's because I had a good nap in earlier in the afternoon.
Going to skip over some of the beginning stuff. There was stuff about me having an apartment, and sharing it with some other college kids. In the dream, I'm a kid in college. And the apartment is like a dorm room or something. One thing leads to another, and eventually there is a group of us out on the street walking, doing I don't know what. It's outside the college, and there are lots of people around.
Somewhere along the line, I find this long wooden pole. It's a little longer than I am tall. And I'm about six three. The pole isn't very wide around. It actually reminds me of the pole in my closet for hanging coats on, only longer. I decide I'm going to use this to pole vault along. And I also think about how if I was in a dream, doing this could easily get me Lucid.
I take a couple of running steps and vault off of this sloping grassy hill, trying to get as high as I can. Suddenly I'm airborne, and floating higher. Instantly Lucidity washes over me.
I say to some my friends, "Hey, this is a dream! Look at me, I'm flying!"
I kind of float along, not all that high in the air. It's like gravity is gone. I'm not even really trying to fly. I'm still carrying my long pole. One of the other guys has a long pole as well, and he decides to take a whack at me with it. It's kind of a playful friendly attack. He isn't really trying to cause me harm. Still floating, I use my pole like a staff, and easily block. We have this little battle, and I think it's cool how I can wield this staff like a pro. I know exactly how to spin it, and swing it just right, to block every strike that comes at me. It's kind of fun.
After a little bit of this I lose interest, and kind of drift away and land. There are many pretty college girls around, and I am unable to completely resist the urge to play with one a little. There is one standing on the side of the street, facing away from me. I walk up behind her, and slide my right hand around her waist. Then move it upwards, until I feel the pleasant softness of her breast beneath my hand. Then I nibble on the side of her neck just a little. Then I back off, not wanting to push my luck. I don't want to lose the dream, and this kind of thing always causes me to wake up.
I do something here, I can't remember what exactly. There is a slight gap in my memory. But then I'm on a street, and it feels as if I've been in this dream for a while now, and I think it's pretty cool. Then I think, Hmm, what to do now. I now remember the Lucid task of the month. I didn't really set the intention to do the task before hand. But I remembered reading it, and thinking I would do it if I got the chance. The one I think of, is to go diving. This is something I've wanted to do anyway.
I take a quick look around and I can see the ocean not far off. Did I just inadvertently summon the ocean? I don't know, but I don't remember seeing it before. I make my way there. I make my way there, and the water is rough. there are lots of waves crashing to shore. Wow, I think. This is those most realistic looking water. I can hardly wait to dive in. But suddenly the ocean waves are rushing at me fast. I'm hit by the water with force. And it's more like a rushing white water river now. I get completely submerged and I can't see a thing, because the water is all white and bubbly. I start to feel like I'm suffocating, but then remember I can breath water. I take a deep breath, and I can breath easy. I get water in my mouth and I'm amazed that it tastes as salty as the real ocean.
But then suddenly the raging torrent is gone, and I'm left sitting on dry ground. The rest of the ocean is just a few feet from me, and it's just a flat calm now. I walk up to it, and the water is clear. I dive back in, and swim beneath the surface. I take a deep breath through my nose, and I can actually feel the water burn the inside of my nose a little. I know that I don't have to feel that, and it goes away.
I swim to the bottom. It isn't all that deep. the first thing I notice is brown leaves rolling across the ocean floor. It's kind of odd. But then I see these long, weird looking fish swimming near me. I try to touch one of them but they are just out of reach, and I can't get close enough.
But then I'm startled by the next thing I see. It's I big male lion walking along the bottom of the ocean floor! And it's coming towards me. After my initial surprise I think it's pretty cool. I swim up to it and start to pet it. The lion rolls over onto it's back, and I scratch it's belly. I then turn and go to find something else. I notice the lion is following me now. But then I wake. I think my alarm clock went off just then, I'm not sure though.
