Thread: Task of the year for 2010

I just read this thread yesterday before bed. link to my dream Journal is in my sig for anyone interested in the rest of the night.

Cretaceous/ Tertiary Mass Extinction
I'm in an office and know immediately that I am dreaming. I look to my right and tell a man in slacks, dress shirt and tie that we are about to witness a terrible asteroid collision that occurred tens of millions of years ago. The DC told me I was crazy as I watched the scenery around me shift to lush green outdoor. The sky was blue and cloudy. I had transported the office staff with me and we were standing in a field surrounded by trees, bushes, like the land at the edge of a forest. The DC's were hanging out happily as if it were some picnic in the park, some drinking from plastic cups. I tell the crowd to "Stop talking and witness the fall of the dinosaurs!" Someone said that we were just in the park and I thought about saying something like 'yeah, JURASSIC Park!'. but my better judgement prevailed. The cusp of a mass extinction is no laughing matter, I tell myself. I told them we were in the time of the dinosaurs, and someone asked why there were no dinosaurs. I looked around to see that, indeed, there was no dinosaur in sight. I looked into the skay to see the asteroid approaching.
"LOOK! IT COMES!" I shout.
The asteroid looked like the boulder from '...Temple of Doom' only much, much larger, and I watch it hit what looks to be a life sized lego jungle some distance away. Everyone but one guy gasped and ran away. The man ans I stayed behind to witness the devastation from afar for a moment before starting the journey to the epicenter of the collision.
As we neared the impact site more and more things were blown down and/or ablaze, and there was smoke, dust, debris surrounding us, getting thicker and thicker as we neared the impact crater. There was what I assumed to be a large protection bubble around us, keeping about 20 or so meters around us clear of any dangerous fallout and allowing us to actually see all of this.
The main impact crater was beginning to cool, it seemed, and when we reached the rim I became almost mad. I began to laugh and make the ground inside the crater rise like a mountain from the fiery hole. I willed the earth to glow hotter and hotter like white hot coals. My DC companion told me this made him uneasy and I laughed maniacally. I told him I would erect a fire mountain larger than anything on the planet, and he told me I'd gone mad. I screamed that nothing would survive but the blinding glow of my fire mountain, my "Tribute to the death of all life". I was unable to look at anything but the blinding glow of my massive formation. I began to lose control and everything became gradually more and more transparent looking. My DC companion calmly said
"You're pushing yourself too hard." That's all I remember.

I never actually saw the DC. Only felt his presence and heard his words in my head. I wonder if that was a DG. I've had what I thought were DG's before, and they only show up around important events like precogs and projections. Anyone have any thoughts?

Does this count? It was a roman style arena, and there were tigers in armors, too.

There were gold fences around me, but the arena itself had a floor of dirt, mud and clay. In the distance I could see split air-conditioners all around. Good. I don't like being in hot weather anyways. I was wondering what to do, when I noticed that the walls of the arena had cages inside them, and there were large tigers caged inside. They were wearing black and gold armor, and quite heavy ones at that.
Suddenly, a stage comes up with a commentator on it. He grabs the microphone, and shouts, "Battle of the warrior! Start the fight!"
Cool. Just what I wanted. Even my dreams know my preferences.
The bars of the cage disappeared into thin air. A lump of raw meat landed near to me. it was a bait. Smelling the meat, the tigers in heavy armor rushed at it. One of them took the meat and swallowed it whole. Now they were looking for food elsewhere, and spotted me.
My dream was destabilizing. I can tell when it's so because it starts to slowly fade/blur around the edges and then disappears whole. So I rubbed my hands. The faster I rubbed, the more the dream became clear. At last when it was clear enough, I did the nose-pinch RC again. I could still breathe.
The tigers were now circling me. I summoned my katana from thin air, expecting it to be in my hand when I look at it again. I decided to name it Darkness. If you look upon the description, it fits, really. It slowly materializes. But now there is something wrong. It feel heavier than before. There are black flames already around it. What?! I didn't do anything yet. Also, it was harder to control than before. It started to vibrate a little. But when I touched the sword, I really felt a kind of sadness and a thirst for killing. When I put it away, it was gone, but as soon as I held it again, there was that feeling again. And all the time there were black flames wrapped around it. Strange. True I had it only once before, but why is it so weird?
All this time I was pondering about my sword, the tigers were standing still, as if time was frozen. Now everything snapped back to reality. Dream reality, more like. I decided to fight using my sword, and just ignore the unusual behavior.
One of them jumps at me. What was that guy thinking? I love special effects during my dreams, because they are the only times I get to do stuff I can not do in real life, and I try to take as much fun from them as possible, not start meditating and go around asking my DC's or even Leona about life. Get to the point, fighting. I am a pretty peaceful guy IRL, y'know.
The tiger is now an inch away from me. I slash him, but the only thing my eyes can see is my hand blurring for a millisecond, and then back to the normal position. So this is what it felt like to have supernatural powers at will. A deep slash appears on the tigers middle, and he drops, making weird noises in pain. I take pity on him, because even if he's a DC, I don't like killing animals. I look away from him, and back again. Now he is completely cured, and small as a kitty. He meows a thanks. I said out loud to him, "Now go away before I unleash my passion of kicking kittens."

For the end of the world, I'll do 2012, The cause: Chuck Norris with a fist the size of a truck.

Another one!!! Only THREE to go!!!

Neil Armstrong Pwned....

Somehow, I felt like I was familiar with all the weird vuttons and knobs in front of me. There was a middle-aged lady sitting beside me at the controls. I knew it was Neil Armstrong.
I hear a voice saying, "Ten seconds to experimental quick spatial jump. Please remain fixed to your toilet seats."
I find this comment quite normal. A large number appears in mid-air, displaying 15 seconds remaining. I justify it as a 3D projection, a hologram. The countdown starts. 15......16........100........31.......3#......6%.. ....O_O PS this is an exact reference.
I become lucid. I start to look around, trying to increase the detail. I could see a large screen, showing odd symbols and shapes in green in front of me. On my left was a coffee table, fully laid out. On my right was Neil Armstrong. He was back to a man now.
I realize that we are at the moon already. Neil realizes this as I do as well. We both look into each other's eyes for a moment, and suddenly dash for the exit. The exit is made for only one person, and we both cram it up, getting stuck. I force myself out. Now I can see a ladder descending into the moon, but it looked more like a ladder you see in game shows, made of plastic and quite large, with obstacles in between to keep me from getting down.
Neil was here as well. We both started going down the ladder. It's like a race, but it was fun. Now my view was like a game screen, and everything became cartoonish. The ladder was yolk yellow color. On the sides, for each participant of the race, there are small bombs, to throw at one another. I pick up a bright blue grenade, and throw it at him. He ducks, and shouts, "You missed!"
But the grenade falls instead on his ammunition. He realizes what's going on, but is too late too stop it. The grenade detonates. There is an average blast, but now the grenade the closest also blows up. This causes a huge chain reaction, blowing all the way to the end at his side. He looks at me in surprise. I grin.
I use flash step to get to the end. Zap! I am a LOT closer. Another ZAP! And I am at the end. Neil shouts, "Hey! No fair!"
"Thats what you get for being a DC, dumbass!"
I am now at the moon. Neil takes sometime to get to the bottom. I beat him! Completed another TotY! I was enjoying the landscape. The more I looked, the more there was to see. There was a whole colony of people, living under a huge dome. At the center of the glass dome, there was a huge tree, going a mile into the sky. It was all magnificent, in contrast to the black and silver landscape of the moon. In the dome, I could see shops, houses, factories. Generally, a whole city. There were people bustling here and there.
I hear a lone wolf's howl. I was really enjoying myself here. I lose my lucidity to the landscape.
I probably did something more, but I forgot because I lost lucidity. ^_^

Well, I've gotten a bit better at LDing, so I'll give this challenge a shot.

Another one completed!!!!! only 2 left!!!

How to make fire ; A tutorial by me. ^_^

Date : 30th May, 2010

Rating : ★★★☆☆

I was shopping outside with some of my friends. We were all going to a certain shop in the distance. The streets were quite busy with passersby. I noticed that one of my friends was wearing a black tee shirt. Seeing this, I did a reality check. I pinched my nose, and found that I could still breathe!
I become lucid. I stabilized my dream by rubbing my hands. The vision was life-like, and my lucidity was also very high. I looked around for stuff to do, and remembered the Task of the Year. I might as well try to teach those primate humans how to make fire. I walked into a large mall, thinking how to go to that era, and viola! A whole forest was in front of me. There were tall, dense trees all around me. I walked ahead, and after a while, I came to a lake. It was so peaceful and beautiful here. There were all sort of weird plants near the lake.
I spotted some monkey-like humans nearby. Good. I come near them. They seem to be scared of me. I yell out to them , "Hey! I am Max! Who are you guys?"
They replied, but in a strange language that I could not even begin to comprehend. What the heck. I guessed they wouldn't know how to make fire. I decided to try it.
I took a few twigs, and some flint stones that happened to be sitting nearby. I rubbed them together, and sparks flew out of it.
But the twigs didn't like up. Shit. This is taking too long. I use magic, and just used my fire ability to light up the twigs.
They were really surprised. The were scared to come close to the fire. But one of them bravely came up, and touched it. He yelled in pain. Seeing this, the other primates started playing with fire too.
One of them picked up a burning twig, and started to wave it in the air. All of the others did the same.
It was really amusing, watching them do this. Then a burning twig fell from the hands of one of the guys, and the grass caught fire. In an instant, the fire spread out to the whole forest, as if it was all kerosene or something.



They all started to shout out excitedly, as if they has never seen a fire before. There were really happy smiles on their faces. They spread out, each in a different direction, and started to chase the still spreading fire. Then they started to make little fires of their own, shooting out fireballs and lighting up trees. I was standing by, watching them play with fire.

Thats the last thing I remember, because I probably lost lucidity here, watching the whole scene.

Took a long nap this afternoon, since I've been sick all weekend with no time to rest. I entered sleep paralysis and couldn't gain control. I just laid on the bed attempting leave my body when I began to False awake right into sleep paralysis over and over. Each time I knew immediately what was happening. Then things got wierd...

lucid

I FA in bed with my eyes open and realize the room is different. I attempt to break Paralysis and everything fades into black. I FA looking through my closed eyes and attempt to change my surroundings instead. I really want to be a gladiator, but things just get blurry and fade to black. I FA and realize that each time I attempt to do something I become aware of a limb or my eye movement, or something tensing up and I fade into another FA. I'm laying in bed thinking how cool it would be to create zombies, except that I'm in SP and still can't do anything about it. I look over and see my friend Matt sitting against a wall in my room. We begin to talk and, I feel like I'm awake and everything is normal, until I realize that I'm still in sleep paralysis pretty much. I tell Matt that I need to count my fingers because I can't tell if I'm dreaming or not. He laughs at me. As I count my fingers tangle and I begin to double count my fingers. I show them to Matt and tell him " Look! I'm dreaming because there are too many fingers. He laughs again and tells me I should be careful, since people are likely to think I'm crazy telling them about how I have too many fingers. I become obsessed with counting my fingers for a bit and then remember that I want to be a gladiator. I try, but I'm powerless and everything goes black. I don't lose the dream, though. I'm sitting with a hood over my head and I can hear the cheers of the crowd swelling and ebbing in waves of sheer excitement. I'm nervous. In my mind I can see the dark tunnel leading out into the arena and the way the light from the outside just barely cuts through the gloom. I am sitting with my head down, still feeling paralyzed, running previous battles in my head. I think 'This is it, It's almost my turn.' I wonder if they will ever set me free. I also wonder if I'm going to wake up before I get to see anything around me, let alone fight.

I wake up in bed, the sunlight shining in my eyes. I was so close.

Dream 1: End of the World

I am walking down the street and I see what seems to be a very sick lady. I go over to her to help her but she seems frantic and afraid.
"What's wrong?" I ask her.
"Leave this place and head north to Mother before they reprogram you to." She tells me.
"Who is Mother and who is going to reprogram me" I ask her but she dies in my arms.
I look to my right and am hit by a car. The car immediately transforms into a robot and grabs me while in mid-air. He slams my head to the gound.
"You ask to many questions. Mother would not like that. Looks like we are going to have to reprogram you." he says.
His hand transforms into some sort of drill thing that is going for my head. I think fast and grab his arm. I quickly reverse the drill and force him to drill his own head.
"What the hell is going on" I shout out to a deserted street of nothingness.
I look at the robot that I have just destroyed and I notice a chip inside of his head. I take the chip and I examine it closely. The chip reads: MODEL 642010 Year Constructed- 3030. The destroyed robot suddenly starts blinking red and releases a sound that resembles a police siren. I try to run but several cars drive off of a roof and transform into robots in mid-air. They hit the ground in their robot form and circle around me. One hits me in my pressure point and I am out cold. When I wake up I am in some strange futuristic truck and am all tied up. I overhear the robot driver and passenger. They appear to have stopped at McDonalds!
"You want anything from here?" the driver asks the passenger.
"Yeah. Their Big Macs are totally bitchin. Order me one." replies the robot passenger.
Those robots may have been extremely futuristic, but deep down they were idiots. The truck comes to a stop and the two idiot robots step out and untie me. They go into a building that says MOTHER, but they leave me in the truck. That is when the truck transforms into a large robot WITH ME STILL IN IT! I am now inside of this large robot and I hear him talking to another robot about entering the MOTHER building. I suddenly realize I am dreaming when I remember the year on the chip that I picked up at the beginning.
"I don't live in the year 3030" I say to myself.
I begin to think of what I can do to get out of this transporter robot. I suddenly realize, what if I control him? The cords and handels were already there and I decided to make it so that I can see out of his body. A robot walks up to me and tells me that I seem different. He says that I smell like human. I freak out and run as fast as I can to a dark space. I did not want to anyone to know that there was a human inside of this robot I was using. Through a little hole in the wall of this dark space I see people. The people are being tortured and are having chips inserted in their brain. The sight of this shocks me and I now realize that MOTHER is just a system of robots taking over the world until there are no humans left. Head lights suddenly appear behind me. The room gets brighter and I can see a bulldozer in the room with me. The bulldozer transforms into a very large robot almost twice the size of mine. He grabs me and smells that there is a human inside of the robot I am using. He rips me out of my robot and throws me across the room. He charges at me and slams me to the ground. I try to run but he jumps across the room and grabs me and punches me. His fist is so huge that it really punched my whole body into the ground. This is when I remember that this is my dream and I begin to flow with power. He charges at me and I hop on his head. I begin to punch him in chest again and again. I grab his arm and throw him across the room. I jump up and quickly come down with one last fatal blow to the robots chest and he shuts down. When I look to my left I see a massive computer. I approach it and it requires robot authentication. I almost decide that there is nothing I can do but I remember the people dying at the hand of these robots. That is when I remember the chip I picked up from that first robot. I insert it and am given access to the computer. I do not remember exactly what I did, but I do remember that I created a disc which contained the power to end this robot ruled world. I climb up these stairs and arrive at the top of a skyscraper. I see several helicopters surrounding me and jump onto one . I tear it in half and begin to fall to the ground. Several helicopters are firing missles at me as I fall, others are transforming into robots and trying to run down the building and catch up with me. I try to think of a way to use the disc and I notice a spot on my arm. The robots must have given me a robotic arm when I was out cold. I stick the disc in my arm and created a huge explosion. I caused earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. There was hurricanes and tornadoes. I remember thinking " Yes, I ended the world" right before I died. Of coarse, like in most of my dreams, I woke up before dying.

Red Sea parting and Pyramids being built

I didn't realize until writing the dream out that I could have been at the site of the first pyramid. Since I was looking for pyramids it didn't occur to me that it was possible I'd show up as the first one was being built until I woke up.

non-lucid/lucid

I'm cooking in this kitchen I've never been in before. The floor is on a slant and I'm watching myself scramble to cook ribs and lamb for a table who's order has been forgotten as if from afar through a video camera. I gain first person perspective to see that the kitchen is a total mess and nothing is stocked. As a result of all of the running around I have to do, I screw up one of my orders and realize I am missing ingredients for the forgotten order. I decide to go into the cooler to look for a replacement after sending the server out to ask the table what we can do to rectify the situation. I walk into a store and begin shopping. It's a huge Wal-Mart type store and there are sporting goods and outdoor items in the section I'm in. I'm momentarily confused and one side of the dream is gone, as if it hasn't rendered yet, when I realize I'm dreaming.
I get very excited and things become a bit blurry. I look at my hand, every wrinkle and line. I turn my hand over and on the back there is what looks like a red oval temp. tattoo. It looks crackly,like it has been there for a while. It says something in the middle like "red 66" I know there was a number but I'm not sure what, but that was the gist of the fake tat. I laugh and marvel at how realistic and clear my hand is and decide it's time to get rolling. I take a few steps and am on a sidewalk outside in a residential neighborhood. There are trees and houses to my left, and to my right the road separates me from a huge park block, sparsely dotted with trees and lush, manicured grass. I decide I'm going to fly while I decide what to do, so I jump and land back on the ground, thinking it feels a little harder than normal to fly, but shrug it off. I often have a hard time just taking off and usually have to jump once or twice before awkwardly hovering for a moment. I do this and it feels for a moment like I'm just going to fall back to the ground. I flatten out and bend my knees up as If I were skydiving and begin to fly up and forward for a bit before my legs dip below my body and I begin to fall. I realize the physics are a bit different than usual and that I have to angle my head down and feet up with bent knees to go higher, even out to stabilize and head up to lower my altitude. I shoot upwards in an extreme tilt and I feel my stomach rush upwards with g-forces. I'm up in the clouds slowly flying and adjusting my flying ability. I usually do this way up high because I feel distracted by the proximity of the ground when I'm having flight issues and it can make me wake up or hinder my ability to fly. I play with this inverted flight while slowly descending before deciding the controls are a bit tricky. I say normal flying mode to no avail. I close my eyes and say 'normal flight NOW' and my flight normalizes. I've only been flying above the park in the clear at this point, taking in the beautiful sights while getting in control of my flight. I do a quick loop and increase my speed when all of a sudden a huge gust of wind blows me quickly to my right. I'm being blown completely sideways so the front of me is facing the wind while I fly backwards. I hit a few tree branches as I try to maneuver out of this terrifying wind. For once the pain actually hurts. Typically I only know it hurts, while not actually experiencing the pain. I stabilize and decide very quickly that I ought to get to Egypt to see how the pyramids were built. I close my eyes while flying and say 'Egypt Materialize' and when I open my eyes there is a beach. The waves look like they are tiny and rolling in very slowly because of my extremely high altitude. There is a storm rolling in far in the distance. I think maybe this is the Red sea and the beach is just the floor of the sea itself. I can't see the other side of the sea, but there are signs that it isn't an ordinary beach. I'm unconvinced it's the parted sea in the dream but not so sure since one side of the dream again hadn't rendered and there was something funny about the "Beach". I close my eyes again and think the word Egypt over and over, attempting to will it into existence. I open my eyes and there I am over the park again, only this time I can see a tiny oasis with palm trees around it. I attempt again to command Egypt into existence completely, this time saying 'The Great Pyramids of Giza'. Nothing. I try closing my eyes and summoning Heliopolis, and when I open my eyes I am flying over desert proper. There is a huge palace. half in construction and seemingly built onto a structure that was still being built itself. There are short towers of wide girth, and the whole thing is surrounded by this stuff that seems like a crude, ancient barbed wire equivalent. It isn't the pyramids, but it's old and in the desert. I decide that someone inside would have some answers for me, so I fly into the perimeter of the palace and am spotted by guards, who being shooting projectiles at me. I decide that getting caught by ancient soldiers and identified by the powers that be as a flying man was not necessarily the best idea, so I hide. A soldier finds me sneaking around and I use my mind powers to knock him unconscious. I drag him into what I thought was a storage area of some sort, possibly a holding cell, but am not quick enough to dodge the guards who were making their rounds through the hall. See, as I was dragging the soldier into the cell, the roving guard realized he was not at his post, and began calling for him. This roused him a bit and his moaning tipped the other guard off. I was inside of one of the towers. It was dark, but light was streaming in through windows and laying window shaped spots of light on the dusty, brick floor. The bricks, I now realize, are a sandy color and are extremely large. I climb up into the rafters of the tower, which seem like supports specifically for climbing and working in the upper levels. There is incomplete construction, but it seems more like the old structure is being taken down and was only serving to facilitate something else being built. The guards assist their fellow soldier and send one off to report to someone higher up. I hear something along the lines of 'he is going to want to hear this for himself' and there is a sort of seriousness. I assume they are calling the captain, or someone higher up. I'm trapped in the rafters for some time when all of a sudden a very large. old man in a business suit comes around the bend along with a few guards. He looks right at me as if he knew where I would be and says. Come down from there. I try to climb higher and find an escape up and out of the top, but am unable. 'We've been waiting to talk with you' the man says and follows it up with 'I'm glad you didn't just kill the guards. You could have, though they didn't deserve it.'. Climb down and stand face to face with the man,the guards move to grab me, spear-like weapons in hand. 'it's ok...' the man says 'this needs to happen.' There is a pause and the man tells me I should have just stayed in the kitchen and that I'm now terminated for abandoning my job post. He adds that my quest for knowledge and answer to certain things is foolish. I almost don't hear that part and begin to defend myself by explaining that the kitchen was a mess when I clocked in and that there was absolutely no prep done before hand. He tells me there is no excuse for poor performance and that I'm fired regardless of what I say. I become confused and angry and the man laughs at me. He tells me that I'm stuck at a dead end and I'll never find the answers I seek. He taunts me for the ease at which I become distracted and I grab him by the throat. The guards again surge forward and he stops them again. I force him to his knees and he simply tells me that I can kill him and it isn't going to change that fact that I won't make it. I squeeze harder and begin to yell at him to tell me what the fuck is going on. He begins to gurgle and I can feel his windpipe beginning to shift in my hands. I scream louder and squeeze and force him backwards. He's already on his knees and his eyes tell me he is about to pass out. I stop squeezing, realizing that if I kill him I'll never get him to tell me what he's talking about, he is unconscious and I yell at him to wake up. He opens his eyes as if he were faking and says something along the lines of, 'I'm more than you'll ever know, boy.' and disappears. The soldiers are walking side by side away from me and the dream is fading.

I'm really not sure about the Red sea, since half of the parted water didn't render properly, meaning it may have just been a freakin' beach, but still there was something about it.

So I've done: Dead Dinos [x]
Red sea [?] could have been a beach
Pyramids[?] maybe a dead end at an earlier ziggurat
Gladiator[?] I was one, but did not fight.

Anyone think my [?] count/ don't count? I'm going to re-attempt all my [?] goals anyway, since I feel I could get more from them. I think the [?] lucids are like chapters, and that the tasks are sometimes too much to accomplish a at once maybe. Anyone else have an opinon? I'd love to hear some feedback

One to go!!

Beach party with Moses!!

Rating : ★★★★☆

Date : 3rd June, 2010

I was on a beach party. The beach looked exactly like the image above, but there was also a cute little wooden beach house. I was along with five of my friends. All of us were in swim suits. I looked at mine. The were knee high drawstring trousers or something, colored blue, with a white image of a palm tree.
There were really fierce waves. I mean REALLY fierce. The wind was strong enough to pull us out of course, and the waves rose more than five meters high. It was a cloudy day, but the sun's rays were just visible through the gaps in the clouds.
I could hear a far off seagull's cry. We started to play beach volleyball, but the wind was too fierce and would cause the ball to go astray. Somehow, all of us found that extremely funny. We started to laugh, hard. We were laughing without stopping, without any particular reason except the ball's going off course. We laughed so much that it started to hurt my stomach, and tears came into my eyes. Finally, we hiccuped ourself to silence. Spontaneously, out of nowhere, I became lucid. Perhaps it was due to the fact that I live in a city in the middle of the desert, and that we rarely get such strong waves along the coast line. Whatever, now is not the time to wonder WHY I became lucid.
There wasn't really much scenery there for me to stabilize, but I did it anyways. I used all of my senses, including activating the sense of taste by tasting some sea water. When the dream was stable enough, I spun in a circle and rubbed my hands. The clarity was already pretty good, so it didn't have that much effect. But the experience was life like, or perhaps even more vivid than real life.
I walked around. I did not want to do something too exciting early in a dream, a golden rule of mine that works like a miracle. I used to instantly start smashing up stuff but it killed my lucid dreams, and not long after I learned my lesson and became more patient.
I walked up to my friends. One of them, a guy, said, "Hey, see those waves, Max? They seem pretty big. Think we will get a sale on those?"
Another one, a girl, replied, "Yeah right, everyone knows that summer sales are only on laptops. Besides, where are you gonna stash a surfing bear in that apartment of yours?"
"Hey," he replied, "at least it's not as big as your belly, it doesn't need an acupuncture every half hour."
I was laughing hard, again. But for the fear of losing my lucidity to their one-of-a-kind conversation, I intruded and said, upon suddenly remembering, "Guys, do you know where Moses is? The one who parted the sea?"
Every one started to gape at me, like I was mad or something. Another girl said, "Like. duh! Don't you know that he is on vacation in Hawaii right now? Man, you gotta buy some fashion magazines, you know that?"
"HUH?! Moses, the spiritual kinda guy, in a fashion magazine?! Are you kidding me?"
They all start to look at me weirdly again.
"Anyways, tell me which direction is Hawaii."
They look at me in even more surprise.
"Dude, this IS Hawaii."
"Ah, I see. So then where is Moses?"
"He is on the clearing around the forest. He was helpin' lil' kids to cross the ocean, you know. To make sure they don't fall into the clams at the bottom."
"Okay, thanks for the info."
I use the rope method to pull myself toward the end of the forest. I feel a tug around my waist, and I quickly transport to there. Then, I start to run, looking for Moses.
WHOOOSH!!! A loud sound came up from ahead of me. The ground started to rumble. The wind suddenly became a heck of a lot faster. I actually had to use telekinesis on myself, imagining me glued to the ground, to avoid flying away with the wind.
Then, the whole sea in front of me split apart.



Wait, wasn't there a condition? Shit. Wait up!! WAIT A FUCKIN' SECOND!!!
I snapped my fingers, and stopped time. I did that by imagining a movie being paused. Everything became perfectly skill, and a little blurred, or shadowed. I had suddenly remembered that Moses need to part the Reed sea, not jut any random beach.
I tried a trick I had never done before. I concentrated any summoned a large banner that could be poked in the ground. But before writing anything, I did a reality check, stabilized more, and rubbed my hands again. I am taking no chances.
I use my finger to write something up. But I see that I have written a jumble of random words that make no sense. No matter.
I cause the letters to morph and re arrange themselves, something like Tom Riddle (Voldemort) does in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The words now read, "Welcome to REED sea!"
Not exactly what I wanted, but it was good enough. I planted it in the ground, and believed what it said.
I unfroze time. Now, the sea was blood red. Maybe something related to the similarity between "Reed" and "red".



Oh well, as long as it's a sea. The sea in now completely parted. Great! There goes another task of the year!
But, Moses seemed to be having some trouble keeping it parted like that. Don't know why, buyt I went there to help him.
I was standing on sand, which was supposed to the ocean bed. I built an invisible wall on both sides to keep the water from flowing in.
"Whew!" , said someone near to me. It was Moses! He was in a white robe, with his hood down so I couldn't see his face. He was also wearing a golden armor on one hand.
"Thanks for the help, kiddo. You could become a better Moses than me."
"No problem. Tell me, do you only go around parting seas and stuff?"
"No, but I am famous for it. Say, do you want a new dream guide?"
"Huh?!"
"Yeah, I came here to become your dream guide."
"Sorry, but I already have one."
"Oh, that vampire brat?"
"Yeah."
"But I am much greater than her. I can show you the mysteries of universe. I can lead you to the divine. I can make you spiritual. Your dreams will be the strong hold of good."
"Wow! Thats amazing. Leona never did that. Can you really do that stuff?"
"Of course I am. Who do you think I am?"
"Right. But the me something. Can you fight?"
"No, I am a good guy."
"Can you kill monsters?"
"No."
"Can you turn into a vampire?"
"No."
"Are you a hot young lady?"
"No, of course not! But that doesn't mean I am.........pleasurable." (PS sorry if anyone was offended by this, but as you know, it was just a dream, nothing else.)
"Sorry, but I am totally into women. Tell me one last thing."
"Yeah?"
"Do you know how to pilot combat space ships?"
"No, I don't."
"Sorry then, but you are just not my type. I will stick with Leona for now though. Come once in a while to give me some of that divine experience of yours, will ya?"
"Ah, that Leona. That mother fuc**ng bitc*h $/&^#!!!!!!"
"Whoa there! You're Moses. You are not suppose to curse like that. Only teenagers can do that."
"This is the 21st century, dude. So long, bi*ch!"
He disappears into thin air. Oh well. I have to wake up now, before I forget the task of the year. I force my real eyes open, something I can do even since I was not lucid dreaming, and wake up.

Ok, I'm pretty good a LD's now. I will try these. Do I report back to this tread?

@Eldraziking187 Yup, report back here.


Got me another task completed! Egypt!

105: 5.28.10; 9:08AM Part 2: Ancient Egypt + Invasion. (The True Power of DEILD.) (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I go into a DEILD from a previous dream and am reading a newsletter or news article that's taking up all my vision. Knowing that I wanted to do one of the tasks of the year, I tried imagining Egypt, and tried opening my eyes to go there. However, I felt my real life eyes trying to open, so I attempted this only twice before abandoning the idea. I thought of how else to clear my vision, while watching the article go from having a white background to a black one then back to white. I thought of pulling it off my face, now feeling like I was very much in the lucid, enough to not worry about real life bodily movements, but moving my hands to my face didn't help. I really considered leaving the lucid and going back into another DEILD, but I began looking around the newsletter for other possibilities first. While looking over all the words I found that looking off to the right of the paper brought me to a desert city with a richly-coloured landscape and horizon - I'd done it!

In my excitement I shouted profanities and flew through my fully lucid world, flying skillfully over small lakes and cottages nestled into rocky areas of the desert, and I began searching for pyramids to find one being built.

Coming across a few more settlements, complete with trees and houses (basically want you'd expect to find if a city flourished in the middle of a desert - it was pretty cool looking, rather relaxing and inspiring), I saw some pyramids in the distance. I closed in on one, obscured by a little fog, and when I drew close I found that it wasn't yet a pyramid, as it was still being built.

There was a proper square brick foundation, with tall square pillars standing inside it in a disorganized manner, none of equal height. Coming close to the pyramid's foundation I found that there were workers inside it, wearing oddly regal ancient Egyptian dress for being pyramid builders. On the sand floor, in the middle of the square sat two parallel sarcophagi with no lids, white sheets covering the bodies inside. Two workers were laying a golden lid on the one on the right, which might explain why they were regally dressed. (This wasn't simply the construction of a brick pyramidal structure, it was a burial ritual.)

There's a lot more to this dream, if you're interested in odd, crazy, and funny dreams.

Earth destroyed by a force from space

I can only remember the lucid part of my very long string of dreams last night. I told myself I was going to go to the moon for expedition, but if not I'd try some tasks. I woke up and got a quick snack (a finger full of almond butter and a bite of potato salad) and went into this dream...

I'm laying in bed in a wooden house and a large silver teddy bear attacks me. I realize I have fallen asleep and my fear dissolves along with the teddy bear and the paralysis. I stand up and decide I'm going to fly away from the darkened room to clear my thoughts. I try to fly, but end up projected through a long thin tunnel. I can only see seemingly never ending wooden walls and a smal opening way off in the distance. I close my eyes and the motion stops. I'm standing on a platform way up in the hills and I can see the lights of a city in the distance, gradually getting sparser as I scan closer to the large platform. I try to fly like I normally do but don't feel I have the usual amount of control. I close my eyes and decide to mix it up a bit by thinking "Rocket boot activate!" (I think I read that someone flies in that manner on this forum and thought it might be cool to try) I begin my rapid ascent as the rocket boot blast me into the sky. They are super fast and very responsive. I think about falling for a moment and feel the g's in my stomach as I begin to fall rapidly back to earth. I begin to look at my hands and refocus, because I can't really see much. When I do I notice the background come alive behind them, but when I take them away it still feelslike someone has turned the lights way down on. I decide to float for a moment, bobbing awkwardly in the air way above the ground and remember what it is I wanted to do. I felt like I was almost there, but couldn't remember. I tried to remember other tasks but could not. I reactivated my rockets and blasted into space. It is dark behind me and a mass of darkness sprinkled with light below me. Then the pillars of flame begin. first one below me to the right, then another, then a few more. I realize they are meteorites, and that the earth is passing through a belt of small meteors. Then I begin to see the fires on the ground illuminate the massive darkened sphere. I am floating in orbit on the dark side of earth watching as meteorites large enough to impact the earth bombard its' surface. I begin to think I am in control of the assault and witnessing a future apocalypse. As I think this, a very large mass, which I assume is an asteroid falls to earth, creating a collosal column of flame, followed by a brilliant explosion, illuminating the dust and debris clouding the atmosphere of the once blue planet...
Don't remember anything before or after, but I wonder why I couldn't see behind me, and why so many small objects actually made it to the surface before 'the big one' hit. I think maybe it was an i assault from just outside of our orbit, NOT space debris.

Bring out the champagne, baby!!!! COMPLETED TASK OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

So wheels WERE used.

Rating : ★★★★☆ (back to normal 5-star ratings. )

I had this lucid dream after a bit of MILD and WBTB combined. I threw in a little FILD, too. Worked great.
This dream occurred after I had slipped into sleep. My WILD failed, but I got lucid nevertheless.

I was an archeologist. I was researching the Tomb of Tutankhamen. They said that whoever touched a certain stone on the grave died instantly. As this was a life threatening situation, we officials were sent by the FBI to research it for it's potential killing power, so that it could be used in weaponry. We arrived, with big, hunky men patrolling ahead of us as bodyguards. There were a few people with me. I remember seeing my friends dad, but the rest were all unfamiliar.
We walked towards the pyramid. Though it was bare desert all around us, it was extremely cold. We were all wearing fur coats. Something about earth's reversing polarity.
We went inside the pyramid. A group of paparazzi were following us, along with irritating media reporters. I think, "Damn paparazzi. Why are they spoiling my dream? Oh well." And I wave my hand. They disappear into nothingness. I did NOT become lucid. It's just that I have become so much used to LDing that this stuff happens.
I continued my way inside. A foul stench greeted me, something like badly maintained public toilets. I went along a dark passageway that was lit by only flaming torches. I went inside a a stone door. There it was. THE tomb.
The smell was unbelievable. It reeked of death and decay. It was toxic. No shit! We had forgotten oxygen masks! I go outside to get them, but now, I was actually in that period of time. I could see a dozen more pyramids and sculptures. There were people bustling here and there, all wearing nothing but a short cloth around their loins, and the women were wearing those.......things....you see in movies. White, old fashioned gowns with red necklaces.
It was a little weird, but I justified it as movie props. I asked a DC, "Excuse me, but, have you seen my car?"
"Sure. It's round the corner from here." "Thanks."
I went to his directed path. When I arrived, there were just an ice cream stand. Good. I was feeling hot from the running anyways. I ordered an ice cream. The attendant there told me that there was no electricity here in this past world, and that I would need to "contact the authorities". Bummer. :/
I saw a bunch of people walking by. They were talking excitedly, in a language I could not comprehend. Now I began to doubt reality. No way this could be real!
I became lucid. I did an RC, just to be sure. I was dreaming! Awesome! I calmed down. It's good to have a lucid dream after a dry spell, but I can't end it soon. I watched around a bit. There were many pyramids, but most were of sphinxes and Pharaohs. I saw a DC wearing a suit and went up to him.
"Excuse me, but where are the construction grounds?"
"93 Berthingale Street."
"Okay, thanks."
God, my DCs suck at directions. :/
I ripped open the fabric of time and space, creating a portal. It was my first time actually creating one. I jumped inside it, expecting myself to be at the place where pyramids were being built.
I succeeded. I was in a large, open area. There were many pyramids under constructions, and there were numerous slaves going at it. The typical thing you see in movies, you know. There were some leaders that were cracking whips at the slaves, forcing them to do the work. I saw a cart pulling up gold statues pass by me. Wait. I thought Egyptians didn't have the wheel? I ask the DC that, and she replies, "Well, that's the big deception. We use the wheel, but don't tell anyone about it. Insolent little brats."
And she walks away. I laughed to myself, and started to grow wings to fly. I was in the middle of the transformation, when I woke up because of falling from the bed.

Short lucid, but it's not my fault. -_-

Is somebody still checking on this thread? Helloo?? I completed the TotY here!!

If I'm not mistaken, you must do ALL of them to get something, unlike the lucid task of the month which are supposed to be simpler

As far as I've bothered to look for, he has completed all of them.
