3 May 2009 - Attempting May 2009 Basic Lucid Task

I am downstairs at my house doing a reality check. I pinch my nose tight and I could breathe but I have to REALLY suck it up to be able to.

After a moment of thinking, I come to the conclusion that this must be a dream (If I followed Edward De Bono's CAF (Consider All Factors) there probably would've been more time for what I was doing next). I then remember "Oh crap! The lucid task! I've got to look for a flower".

I look almost everywhere I could think of downstairs but did not think to look OUTSIDE, where sun, water and fresh air, the three things a plant needs to grow, are plentiful.

I then wake up

I have some words of advice for people with computers like mine... NEVER, EVER, no matter what, trust a log in screen! They're murderers! To your posts that is!

12 May 2009 - May 2009 Basic Lucid Task Attempt #2

The dream starts off in my bed-room at night, where I'm laying down on my bed under the nice warm furry blanket, when I get the "call of nature". I get up and start walking to the toilet.

I get there and feel the cold, damp tiles under my feet. I flick the switch near the door to turn on the light. Nothing happens, no light. I turn it off and flick the switch again and still no change in light. I thought "Maybe this is a dream, because in dreams you cannot change the level of light". Immediately after that thought, the light comes on.

I flush the toilet, turn off the light and walk back to my bedroom. I get under the blankets in my bed and do a reality check. I look at my hands, count the fingers on one of them, and guess what? I have six fingers. IT'S A DREAM!! WOO HOO! Here we go again! Let's finish off this lucid task!!

Somehow I manage to "teleport" myself downstairs into the room where I last attempted the lucid task of May 2009 without even doing anything. The room is bright and sunny (Wait... wasn't it the middle of the night 5 minutes ago?) and I start imagining a flower, with a nice green stem and beautiful pink flowers on the top, with tiny water droplets running down the petals.

I have a very clear image of it in my head, but just can't "pull it out" into the dream where I can move it and give it to someone. I try two more times but still I can't get it out into the dream (Obviously it didn't occur to me that in a dream you can just literally reach for it and pull the sucker out). I then wake up.
