You could always just go skydiving.

This is great! I love diving in dreams, and I don;t recall ever riding a cloud, but if I manage to lucid and remember this at the same time, that will be cool!

That's a lot of DEILD's
Cool!

I've never been underwater in a dream so I'm looking forward to trying this.

I'm doing a WBTB tonight so hopefully I will.

Wow, lol! Riding a cloud sounds like a lot of fun =)

If I ever become lucid during the month, I will be sure to attempt the task

But what exactly is meant by "go diving?" Scuba diving, sky diving, cliff diving, diving off a diving board?

I'm going to do them all sky dive onto a cliff, then take my parachute off, put some scuba gear on and cliff dive off the cliff with a diving board, diving into the water and going scuba diving

This task is definitely on my mind. I had a non-lucid last night about sailing on the open ocean and exploring some underwater ruins that were converted into a dock. It was very cool, but not lucid.

This morning I had a very long LD . In one location I was in a building and right outside the building there was a little lake. I reminded the task of the month and then jumped in the lake.
I reached the bottom of the lake very soon, I could breath but I couldn't see anything because it was very dark. There was a constant movement in the water, and I wasn't able to coordinate my movements. I wanted to rise up but I couldn't, I was stuck on that location. And soon the dream was over.

I knew I was dreaming so I was thinking about something fun to do. I was thinking about trying to teleport to another country or something. Then I remembered, the lucid task of the month. Which was diving, so I walked towards a door that seemed to appear from nowhere. I walked through imagining I was on a plane so I could dive off. I then appeared on a private jet. A guy came up to me and said "I think you should sit down". I said "hell no". He then walked away, I looked out of a window and saw we were above the ocean. I walked towards the jet door. I opened it had a huge gust of wind that nearerly through me off, but I didn't fall. So I took a deep breath, looked down at the water, I then dived of the plane and the drop seemed to take an eternity. Eventually I hit the water, this was the first time I was underwater in a dream. It felt amazing and I knew I didn't have to surface. I started to swim around, looking at the underwater plants and the fish. When suddenly I got pushed from behind. It was a dolphin who seemed like it wanted to play. I grabbed onto it's fin and it started to swim. It took me up to the surface and I looked out around me and saw the sun glaring back at me

Hope it count's. It's an excerpt from my Dream Journal. Had some good fun under the water.

Going to try the cloud task when I get a chance.

go driving - peace of cake - i got all my dc mates got in my car drove them to the mall , remembered i only had a provisional license and ergo no insurance , so we ditched the car and got a taxi home.

this failed to get my atention and swiftly lost lucidity for a while still working on the cloud thing though ....

lawl i only just realised its diving not driving my bad (red face)

I failed to do this.

In my last lucid, ( about 2 days ago ) I looked up to the sky and tried to fly since I wanted to do the Task of riding a cloud, but I couldn't But, I remembered that earlyer, I saw someone riding a cloud. So, I looked for him, and when I saw him, I asked him if I can ride it and he said " No, you must train in the ways of the ninja to have it" Then, I said to myself this is retarded, so , I woke myself up.

I will try again today!

From what I hear, it's usually a better idea to TELL dream characters what you want them to do.

I don't know if this can be called a failed attempt, or just not an attempt at all, but basically this happened:

(...)
After what it felt like an entire afternoon in a lucid dream, I was near my old house at night. That house is close to the beach, and as it was a bored lucid, I think:
- I'm wasting my dream here, what should I do?... Oh, wait, the Task of The Month! It was... diving. Oh wait, that is easy, I am close to the sea right now.
Then I see a celebrity in there (José Diogo Quintela, an actor from the Smelly Cat comedy sketches), and go meet him, totally forgetting the dream tasks.
(...)

If this counts as a failed attempt, then yay! I made my first attempt at a lucid task and failed!

YAY i did the cloud task

I was near a ver muddy river. I told my friend to do an RC and then i did one myself. I was dreaming and everything got much clearer. I wanted to go swimming but then saw teh clouds and remembered the taske of the month. I flew up and hopped on a small grey cloud a little bigger then i was. IT was trying to fling me off but it would not let it. I went up higher and higher reaching space! I flew still on the cloud to the moon were we met some aliens who were having a tea party then the dream faded and i woke up.

hope that counts

Basic task for me. Maybe this will incentivise me to get my ass together and make the badges

Clarity: Good
Sleep: Good

Flying and Sex Together

I was in high school and was getting picked on by people who were actually my friends. I was getting pissed off so I locked them up in painful joint locks and threw them. I walked away, confident that they wouldn't dare follow me. I went into the bathroom to get tot he other side of the hallway, but then realized that I didn't know where my class was.

That immediately made me lucid. I tried flying to the end fo the hallway, but I fell twice before finally floating gently in the air. I floated down the hallway and Christa Papachakis was there so I landed and started fooling around with her.

Spoiler for Naughty bits:

She was amazingly flexible and spread her legs into a split. I took myself out of my pants and she started to suck on it and lick it.

Quickly I entered her and started having sex with her. We were up high, on the 20th story of a building or something and I thought it would be fun to jump. I pushed both of us over the edge and never stopped having sex, even after we crash landed.

We had landed near a small cliff leading to a lake. I remembered the basic task of the month and picked her up and together we dove into the lake. It was warm, but pitch black so I brought us up and flew out of the water quickly so that I didn't wake up.

Still having sex, we flew over a crowded party.

I looked in the lake again, and there was a body floating in it. I now had the memory that I had done that. I had been a hired hitman.

I then had a false awakening where I was sleeping up high, like on top of a counter, and realized that I had a washer and dryer. The washer was broken, but nothing that I couldn't fix and the dryer was small, but functional.

The washer and dryer came from yesterday where I decided to wash my clothes by hand to save money / electricity.

Does diving off my roof count? I don't think I hit the ground though. If it counts I'll write in my DJ. I am pretty lazy this week.

I've had diving dreams nonL before, most of which, I beleive, had some cartoonish thing involved in them. Some parts did creep me out. When it got all dark.

Well here is my basic task attempt. Even if it counts I'm going to attempt it again and hopefully get better results. Here is the dream....

Lucid Dream 25: Crazy with a Side of Lucid Task
DEILD

Category - Random


I stabilized the dream and saw I was in a large lobby with marble floors. There were couches and a fine persian rug. I could have been a nice hotel lobby. The actor, Josh Mostel (principal Anderson from "Billy Madison") was wearing a suit and standing in the middle of the lobby. I think he was a bellboy.

My brother was also there and he took of sprinting through the lobby. Mostel yelled, "No running!" and began chasing after him in a hilarious waddle. I then lept into the air and flew toward the nearby hallway. Mostel shouted, "No flying in the lobby!" I then decided to have some fun with him. I started sweeping with a broom and Mostel yelled, "Hey, no sweeping the floor!" I then grabbed a teapot that was sitting on the coffee table. Mostel shouted, "No tea allowed!" He was pretty close to catching me now, so I launched a bookshelf at him with my mind and got him stuck between shelves. I then flew down the hallway. I saw my brother laying on his back in the hallway and he said, "Watch this!" He then sunk and passed his body through the ground tile and disappeared. He then reappeared and told me he hid inside the floor. I layed down and attempted this myself. My body began tingling and I passed through the floor. The floor above me was transparent and I saw Mostel walk over top of me. I then jumped up out of the floor and Mostel turned toward me and said, "No jumping out of the floor!" I leaned my back against the nearest wall and succeeded in my attempt to pass through the wall.

It worked! The room was like a small living room. I heard Mostel shout from the other room, "No becoming invisible in the lobby!" I then attempted to pass through the opposite wall of whence I came. It worked again and I now entered a backwards slide from the seated position. I slid backward through room after room after room. Each room became more and more trippy. I never spent more than about 5 seconds per room and each one was brightly colored. It was like an acid trip. One room had bright green ganja as the carpet, another was like a meadow with vultures eating a lion, another had a single rabbit and as I passed it was struck by lightning and turned into dust, another was underwater (which reminded me of the task of the month). I then slid out of the building and onto a beach. I stopped sliding as I approached the water.

I stood up and looked around for some diving gear, so I could get the full experience. All I could find though was a pink mask/snorkle set. I put it on and dove into the water. The ocean floor was about 15 feet down. The ocean floor was littered with baseball sized, round, smooth, multi-colored stones (colored like fish tank pebbles). There were also a few hollow logs on the sea floor. Unfortunately, I looked out toward the deep ocean and saw the dark silhouette of something very large. I freaked out and swam back to the surface. I exploded out of the water and back on the beach.

I saw a flock of seagulls pass overhead and i decided to fly with them. I took flight and joined their formation. I flew with them out over the sea and curiosity got the best of me, so I grabbed one of the seagulls out of the air. It pecked and struggled hard to get away as I just watched it in amazement. I let it go and hovered above the ocean for a while. Not sure if my dive would count, I turned and looked for a plane, so I could go sky diving instead. I saw a plane in the distance, but as I flew toward it, it transformed into a jet ski. The colors were the exact same (white with a red stripe), but it had changed form.

I flew above the guy riding on it and jolted into a super human burst of speed and grabbed the guy and tossed him out into the ocean. I then took another super human burst and landed on the jet ski. A controller suddenly appeared in my hand. It had only a few buttons. One of the buttons said, "Change Form." I changed it a few times until I found a helicopter. I pushed the button and the jet ski turned into a remote control toy helicopter.

I grabbed the belt that was hanging down from it and flew over the sand. I began to ascend. The belt I was hanging onto was apparently retractable. The belt kept pulling further and further out as the helicopter gained altitude. Essentially, I was staying in the same spot as the copter climbe. It kept running into trouble though. Powerlines and ceiling kept appearing out of nowhere and hindered its progress. I finally gave up with this and the scene changed.

I was in a barn and I decided I would just fly high into the sky and dive. I took a leap and tried to bust through the ceiling. I hit the ceiling and crashed into the attic, but fell back to the ground. I jumped many more times and all I managed to do was put alot of holes in the barn ceiling. Frustrated I accidentally woke myself up.

I just did the cloud one! I just had several WILDs over the last 2-3 hours. I just woke up from the last one and am writing this here so I won't forget because I'm still tired and I'm going back to sleep after this (I should start a dream journal). This is the first time I have accomplished one of these monthly tasks; and actually there were a few other things that were firsts for me.

Here's some of what happened:

I kept waking up from these lucid dreams and they were all very vivid. In a few of them I lost my lucidity and drifted off into some normal, but exciting dreams. I kept waking up throughout the night and would think about them for a while. Then I would lie back down and sleep paralysis just kept hitting me each time I tried to go to sleep. I think it was after about 3 dreams that I was going into another WILD and I remembered about the tasks on this forum, but I couldn't remember the diving one. I thought the cloud one might be too difficult for me, but I tried it anyway. I started climbing my house and in the dream it was much taller and had more floors than real life. I got to the top finally and tried to imagine that I was way up in the sky. When I looked around I was, but all the clouds were still too high. I wasn't able to fly in the dream either. My brother appeared though with this pitcher looking thing and said he was going to help me. He started pouring this liquid over the edge and it formed into a little cloud below me. I jumped and landed on it and it was barely large enough to sit on, but I hung on and it started flying forward. After a while it started loosing altitude and I came to ground level and the cloud sort of landed while going down the slope of a steep hill. Now it was like a sled going down this hill and eventually I crashed into a bunch of trees at the bottom and woke up. It was a lot of fun though and a big step for me in my dream control.

Here are some of the other firsts for me:

In one dream I was successfully able to teleport with an intended destination in mind. I was even able to bring my brother along. I just sort of grabbed a hold of him and started spinning and away we went. I also have never had this many WILDs (especially such lengthy and vibrant ones) after being asleep for only around 2-3 hours outside of taking an afternoon nap. I was shocked when I finally looked at my clock and saw the time. One other thing that was a first for me was a very bizarre colored dream. I've always had dreams in color (that I can recall), but one of them today was in black and white except for these vines that grow around here and any leaves on bushes and trees. They were all a weird, unnatural-looking, lime green color. The grass was black and white though.

Anyway, I'm pretty excited about my accomplishments and now I need to go back to sleep. Like I mentioned I've only been asleep a few hours and I've woken up several times throughout so I'm pretty tired. Hopefully I'll have another dream or two, but if not I'm pretty satisfied with today's dreams.

Sounds interesting! :3
I definitely have to try those Although I've never dived before in my dreams... Or have been at least above the clouds ^^'
I hope I'm gonna be Lucid soon enough to complete it! XD (I've been on a dryspell lately >_>)

Was mine overlooked? I don't seem to have wings anymore.

http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...80&postcount=4

I think ninja is still working on the new set of wings.

Things should right themselves in a little bit.

Also, I put spoilers around ninja's dream... Seemed a bit... Raunchy.

I became lucid twice this morning! I also had an almost lucid. I asked my mom if I was dreaming, and she said no for some reason. I felt like a fool and beleived her

Anyway, one of the times this morning, I tried the cloud one. Before I went outside, I noticed that it was very cloudy. So, before I went outside, I thought of it being sunny with less clouds. But it didn't work. But it's all good because once I was outside, I said out loud that I wanted less clouds. Heard that was a good technique, and it worked! This was the first time in a LD that I changed something in the scenery. Now I know the techniques. The clouds were nice and low, so it wouldn't freak me out to fly up to them.

I put my arm up and shot up to the nearest cloud. I went right though one. I took some of the cloud in my hand, and it felt like dust.

Seeker made it that way when he started them, Clairity kept it that way when she chose the task, and I intend to keep it that way too. Sorry guys
