task of the month

Wow, that was fast! Don't know if this count (didn't see my body) but here goes...
Got lucid last night and found myself floating above my bed facing the ceiling and I 'flipped' over to lay down next to my sleeping body but I didn't see it. I did see my husband on his side of the bed and my side of the bed was empty (but really messy, like the sheets and pillow was out of order???). Anyway, I attempted to squeeze in the middle of where I was 'suppose' to be and next to my husband. It worked for a hot second and then I somehow got sucked back into my body that I couldn't see and I woke up. But this was still so cool to attempt!

Technique: MILD & WBTB (WILD Successful! DEILD x 2)
Sleep time: 8 1/2 hours

I was able to go right into a WILD from my WBTB this morning. This has never been this easy before and I really don’t know what I did for this to happen because it happened so fast. It may have been from what I read from GAB the previous night on DV (how she waits for a dream to form right in front of her and then she takes a leap into it).

Let’s get to the good stuff!

I saw myself in a dreamlet in a classroom and I was talking to an old friend and I mentally told myself it was time to go (jump into the dream). I felt myself entering the dream so I held steady as the vibrations gave me my warning that it was time. I did a quick RC of levitation (it worked) and I was on my way! I had told myself that I was going to start with the easiest task (for me, it was singing the ABC song for the TOTM), but I wanted to do it while climbing up the wall. I started off trying to keep the dream vivid by rubbing my hands across the wall for stabilization (almost like in a crawling motion). Then, I started singing the song and going up the wall, but I kept sliding down the wall! I finished the ABC song, but still could not get my feet to stick to that damn wall! So I tried again, this time while singing the ABC song I found myself on the other end of my room and instead of going up the wall, I was going up my bathroom door (but still not able to quite stick it.) Instead, I ended up going through the bathroom door ! I gave up and felt myself losing control and I ended up back inside my body. I was able to DEILD out because I was not going to let lucidity get away from me…I had so many other tasks to complete, but that damn wall was still calling me! I decided to forget about singing (already done that…twice) and concentrate on sticking to the wall. I deciding to take off running (I wanted to run up the wall and across the ceiling), but when I did, (can’t quite remember here) I believe I found myself hanging to the top of my bathroom door . So, I had to take the wall and ceiling task as a lost…for now!

I was able to still maintain the vibrations once I ended up back in my body, so I DEILD myself back out of my body and decided to be adventurous. I decided to go outside, so I flew through a window and landed in the front yard. I saw children playing and somehow got wrapped up in what they were doing and lost control of the dream and briefly woke back up. My mentality can only maintain so much, so I gave up for the remaining of the morning and grabbed my DJ and wrote everything down!

All in all, I couldn’t be more proud of myself...I was able to WILD after a WBTB in the morning and complete the TOTM! Yeah! Like I stated earlier, I have done it before, but never was it this smooth.

Thanks GAB!

Method: MILD & WBTB with WILD
Total Sleep Time: 8-9 hours

Dream #1

Well, I went to bed extremely sleepy, so sleepy, I broke a record by going to bed before midnight! I kept waking up in the middle of night, I guess because I went to bed so early, I kept thinking it was time to get up. I would use the bathroom and every time I would get back to bed, I would say my mantra and try my best to stay awake. Sometimes, I would go to sleep, but I would be back up in a couple of hours doing the same thing all over again. (that's just how my body works, I naturally wake up in the middle of night). Well, by the third time, in the middle of a dream, I felt my vibrations and I became lucid. I was in what looked like a hotel and I was talking to someone at the front desk. I couldn't get over how the person didn't really look like a human to me (and I can't explain what he looked like either). Somehow, my super lucid senses kicked in and I heard a voice in my head say, "Stop staring and hug the damn thing...NOW!" I flew over that counter and wrapped my arms around that 'thing' and held on for dear life! After what seemed a few minutes, I let go (I guess I thought if I didn't hold on long enough the thing would vanish or evaporate). I was so scared, but I had to wait for the reaction, so I just stood there ready to be vaporized or punched in the face by that thing, but instead, it just smiled at me. I lost lucidity soon after that, but when I woke up, I wrote down the little bit I retained and laid back down trying to see if I could continue, but I think the excitement messed that up for me. I was so excited! I don't know where that voice came from that told me to hug that thing, but THANK YOU!

Dream #2

I laid back down and repeated my mantra and went back to sleep and had a non-lucid, but it was very vivid. I was in an elevator and it kept going up and down without stopping. The other DC in the elevator told me that it must be broken and soon I began to freak out. I suffer from extreme motion sickness in WL, so I guess this followed me into my dream world, so I felt my stomach start to bubble and boil..I was getting ready to hurl. The DC started moving around trying to push the buttons on the elevator and calling for help and finally, the elevator stopped. When the doors of the elevator opened, I fell out the doors like a puddle of liquid and the other DCs just stepped over me to go on their merry way. I felt like I was still in a hotel because I went up to my room and I found several people sleeping as I tried to tell them what had just happened to me. They didn't want to hear it because they were asleep and one of them told me to shut up and go to sleep! So...that is exactly what I tried to do...until I saw a live turtle stuck to my shirt !
