Thread: Task of the month for February 2010

The sun one actually sounds somewhat easy, just need some creativity, which I shall take from childhood cartoons!
I remember there was a show a show I watched, called Courage the Cowardly Dog, and in this episode, the dog had to fly to the sun and replace the lightbulb before it burnt out and we all died horrible deaths. He lands on the sun (barely warm by now) and finds a door that leads inside, which is a big room made of red walls and floor with a single lightbulb hanging from it. I imagine this counts as "inside" the sun. Then I'll just find my shadow.

A marriage would require too much time and concentration for me.

I think the marriage one would be fun. ^_^ There are a few women out there I wouldn't mind going on a honeymoon with.

I used to watch that show all the time. I remember the sun episode. Now that i've thought about that show, the sun's probably going to look just like the cartoon. If i make it up there.

Don't worry man. Just keep trying, you'll get one eventually. And when you do get one, you'll be hooked for life. Look for the technique that best fits your personality and strengths. MILD is good for those with memory skills (if you're memory is not great, it can be built up). DILD is kind of sporadic, but i think it links to memory too. WILD is for those that are better with visualization or concentration. Those are some of the major techniques, but there are many more. And there are different varieties of MILD, DILD and WILD. Just don't give up. Find a technique that fits you, and keep working at it. If the technique doesn't work, either keep trying for a little longer or move on to another technique that fits you. Also, remember to not put all of your faith in the technique. The technique is merely a tool. If you get caught up in trying to do a technique exactly as a tutorial says, then your believing in the technique more than yourself. Whoever wrote a tutorial, wrote what works for them. What they do may work for you or it may not. Just stick to the basic framework of a technique and make it work for you. If something doesn't work, just tweak it a little. Just keep at it.

Thanks grim... I'm good at everything actually... I day dream all the time... not in the literal sense... just imagine... but what I mostly do is just sound and sight... Ill. add in more senses.... I already began doing that a while ago... though it's a struggle it's improving......

I'm good with everything except complex stuff..... Reading through Naiya's thread was totally mind bogging but it was very helpful... ill tweak here and there.. but the importance is I got the main I idea... before reading it... I didn't really know what believing in affirmation was.... I did..... but didn't get it as far as belief. Just felt it WILL happend.... not I BELIEVE it WILL HAPPEN. caps lol.

No problem Squaddle. I've read through Naiya's thread too, and i agree, it was a lot to digest at one time, but i think it helped me a lot too. Oh yeah, and thanks for the thanks.

I completed the advanced task, here is my entry:

Lucid Dream 147: The Wife
DEILD

Category - Task/WTF


....I laid still for a few moments and then felt my body re-entering sleep. I opened my eyes and noticed I was on a boat. JT was cheering and my boss was nowhere to be seen. I sat up and said, "We made it?" JT said, "Yup, we are on the Maid of the Mist. I threw your boss overboard, hope that was ok." I laughed and said, "I don't give a f***!" He laughed and then we walked out to the side of the boat. It was driving around on its own and I could feel the cool mist flying up and hitting me in the face. We were approaching the waterfall and JT said, "So who are you going to marry?" I said, "Hmm...I dunno, lets just go see who else is on the boat." We walked around and saw several other people on the boat. I grabbed one of the females and JT said, "Who is that?" I said, "I dunno...what is your name?" She looked at me and said, "Candy Cane." JT laughed and said, "Are you really gonna marry someone named...Candy Cane? What if she shows up in a dream later complaining about you not spending time with her?" I said, "Yeah, or bitch'n about the dishes..." He then told me my dream wife should be someone I wouldn't mind showing up. It only took me a few seconds then I went looking for Kate Beckinsale.

I eventually found her. She was wearing an awesome blue wedding dress (it had sort of an underwater Atlantis style to it...hard to explain). I then noticed I had on a matching tuxedo and we walked out to the bow of the ship. JT was wearing pope attire and he started reading from the bible. He then told me to kiss my bride and after a long kiss, we were married. In celebration everyone lifted us on their shoulders and tossed us into the water. Once I hit the water I noticed my tuxedo had changed a bit, and had fins along the arms and back. I saw Kate's dress had shifted to create a mermaid-like fin. We swam at high speed around in the water for a while. We kissed once more underwater and she told me that she would see me later. She swam off for the bottom of the lake. I jumped back up on the boat and began to take shots with JT.

I got wasted after only a couple shots and noticed the boat was empty except for me and him now. It slowly turned into a canoe and we were having trouble keeping it from tipping over due to our drunkeness. Suddenly I heard a loud roaring wind at our backs. I turned around and saw tsunami-like waves coming toward us. I dove into the water and began swimming with the wave. I saw ahead that there was a large palace, many fancy buildings, and large towers up ahead. The wave was going to slam me right into it. Just before slamming into the palace, I leapt out of the water and began climbing up the palace walls.

It reminded me of the game Assassin's Creed. I climbed the palace, then began climbing the tower. The water level was rising with me and waves kept slamming hard into the structures. I looked down and noticed there was a whole crowd of people being slammed into the walls. Some were climbing and others were just swimming around and drinking beer/liquor. I wanted to climb to the highest point and then jump off like you do in Assassin's Creed. I got to the top of the tower and then dove off in the same fashion as Altair diving into the haystacks. I landed in the water where there was a party going on.

I climbed up out of the water on the side of a cliff and there was a t.v. there. I saw several hot chicks on the t.v. and one of them caught my eye. She was gorgeous. I put my hand into the t.v. and beckoned for her to come toward me. She grabbed my hand and I pulled her through the television. She unzipped my pants and began blowing me. After a bit, I closed my eyes for a moment and when I re-opened them, there was a small dog blowing me instead of the girl. I pulled the dog off of me and thought, "WTF?" I awoke shortly after this.
