Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of March 2008

Yay, my idea won! I thought of bringing an inanimate object to life.

I did it last night but I'd prefer not to explain it. I'll explain it when I do it again.

Great! I've had a couple of LDs this week and I'm excited to try getting one next night and trying to complete the task. I'm quite sure I can do them both. Good luck everybody!

(It's 12:06 AM here, I'll go to bed soon.)

Cool I like these tasks. Gonna get right on it.

Basic Task:
I find myself standing someplace like a subway where a train is flying by me.
Next thing I know I am standing in the middle of the train feeling the cars pass through my dream body one at a time.

After this I feel myself inside of a tsunami turning backward somersaults all the way to shore as the waves hurl me backwards.


Advanced Task:
I find myself at work in someplace like in a cafeteria where I have never been before.

Because of the unfamiliar surroundings I question my dream state, only instead of trying to float myself, for some reason I decide to try levitating a man I see on the other side of the room.

As I concentrate on making him float up into air he begins to float in the air. I then levitate a lady I see on the other side of the room, and then pick out another man, and cause him to float up into the air.

Convinced that I am dreaming, I now find myself someplace like a museum, where there are all kinds of artifacts.

While in the museum I run into a lady dressed in a nice business suit, who used to be my high school teacher many years ago, whose name in my dream is Barbara.

She tells me that I was always her favorite student, and I in turn tell her that she was always my favorite teacher. I then give her a hug.

When I concentrate on finding an inanimate object that I can bring to life, I see these totem poles in front of me, so decide to bring one of them to life.

Big mistake, as it starts chasing everyone around the museum causing a panic in the museum.

I realize that I have made a mistake so get control of the situation by concentrating and getting the thing turned back into a totem pole.

I then find myself somewhere like an abandoned schoolyard which appears to be flooded, where I find myself on something like a merry-go-round out in a flooded area between 2 gals.

As I look at the gal on my left, the gal on my right tells me that I don't want her because she is taken.

When I ask her if she is taken, she tells me that she is not married and that she is not taken.

When I ask her if she would like to hang out with me she says yes, and when I ask her what she would like to do she says "Have sex silly!"

I tell her that I would like to time travel somewhere and ask her if she would like to time travel with me, and she says she would.

We are then someplace like a large theater with all kinds of towns in it.

When we get into some kind of circular thing with seats in it though I notice that she is not sitting with me, but is on the other side.

She is wearing a long, pretty dress.

I think about moving over next to her, but before I get the chance I find myself back in a large theater again, only I am by myself now, except for all of the ushers standing at the different doors and people in the various rooms.

The doors all seem to be for people who want freedom from various countries as I see one door says it is for people who want freedom from Iraq, and other doors for people who want freedom from other countries.

One door says it is for people who want freedom from freedom.

At this point I start become too aware of my body from concentrating too hard, so decide to let go and just follow my dream a bit more.

As I stop concentrating so much and allow the dream to develop on its own, I find myself someplace like an amusement park where on my left a motorcycle race is taking place.

I watch in awe as motorcycles come flying over this ramp and jump a canal.

To my right appears what looks like an ocean where they are having boat races.

Haha i checked this earlier but there wasnt anything here. No March task. But hey, this should be realitivley simple. both the regular and advanced task. Maybe i'll combine the two?hmm..

Yes, they're up! And hopefully I can break out of my dry patch to attempt them this month.

Kiza, I find that immediately after coming up with something cool to do a dry spell ends. Let's both do the tasks tonight, I have a fun idea about both.

Awesome, I have some time to sleep tonight and I hope I can become lucid. I have more often than not this week, but that was at the beginning of the week and I haven't been lucid for a few days now. I hope to complete both tasks, though I might be a little scared for the infincible one...

Kiza, I find that immediately after coming up with something cool to do a dry spell ends.

Hopefully your right. And a question for pj, (or any admin who knows) would jumping off a building and surviving count as 'proving your invincible?'

Yes, that was my original thought of how to do it. I think doing anything that would kill you or seriously injure you in real life would count.

Huh, I didn't think that through when I put it in the poll for last month. It's basically: Do something suicidal.

It would count as long as you jumped off the building and let yourself hit the ground at full force.

mann....havnt been on for months. Feels like a life time im ready to get back to lucid dreaming.... this will be a good start. I did the first one a long time ago but its time to do it again....man did i feel it for a week after...

oo.. this one sounds fun. Since I failed miserably to achieve the tasks for February I hope this one works out.

Well, when I came up with the idea, I wanted to rule out jumping off things because that's just a little to easy. Unless someone has a genuine fear of doing that. I wanted the Task to be about learning to overcome fear. But, I guess if everyone else wants to let it count, it's ok with me too.

Like Clairity said though, it should be from a high place, and let yourself hit the ground with force.

Just my opinion on it.

So Caradon, I'm guessing jumping from a skyscraper and landing face first on concrete would count?

Sounds like fun

I was thinking of setting myself on fire, but I think a skyscraper fall might be more fun. And more terrifying.
Hmm, might take a few tries to stop myself from slowing my fall, so would be more of a challenge too. And I'd have to get to the top of a skyscraper in the first place... hmm.

Excellent tasks.

I'm gonna definitely try for these.

Wow my birthday is on monday it came so fast.... Im gonna get lucid tonight.... Im going to FILD... which works 98% for me. I had school all this dryspell and laziness these last 2weeks on the weekend prevented my LDING. I will attempt both. Wish me luck

I believe this will count for the basic task, though the task is very open to interpretation.

I tell myself before trying a LD attempt that if I wake in the house, I will put my hand over the stove and leave it roasting over the flame for a while.

Sure enough, I have a WILD and find myself on the couch. I get up and go to othe kitchen. The stove has two burners already conveniently on. I check the time and notice it's 3:01 am which is when I started my LD attempt (went back to bed) - another clue this is truly a dream.

I first put my left hand over the flame, imagining a coolness to it. It stays cool and comfortable for a while, then starts to get very hot. Using my mind, I envision the temperature reverting back to a nice cool sensation and it does. However, things again diverge from this. Suddenly, the flames start climbing up my hand, getting more and more yellow (as opposed to the natural gas blue) reaching a foot over my hand. The fire starts to give off a crackling/poping sort of sound much like a camp fire would. Again, knowing it's a dream, I relax and mentally get the temperature and flames under control.

I pull out my left hand after a minute or so of this type of excercise and there is no damage at all. I repeat this process with my right hand - again no damage.

Like I thought I was able to do the basic task last night.

I was at my school and I saw a glass window that was four stories up. I jumped out it, I flew for a while, then let myself fall. I hit the ground at full force, bounced up, and didn't even feel it.

A full account of the dream is in both of my dream journals

Awsome, I've actually done both of these before. Now if I could only get lucid.

regarding task 1

I was walking is some sort of a city; cars were driving past me and people where chatting. I suddendly realize that I'm dreaming! I look at some random DC and begin to levitate(sp?) her high up and blasted her away. Shortly afterwards a police officer runs up to me and yells: "Your under arrest!" I smile and blast him out the way.

I had not walked one yard when police cars came zooming up the road and stopped a few feet away from me. I wasn't scared; I knew I was dreaming! They yelled: "Take him down, take him down!" But, I simply made a shield and protected myself from the bullets then blasted them away.

Wave after wave of officers came and died by my hand. After a while though I for some reason woke up, but it was damn well fun to be able to take down all those police officers.

Guess in dreams we have the DWPD: Dream World Police Department.

This is my first time doing lucid tasks and I am quite surprised that I was able to do the advanced task...

Advanced task: I was outside of my house in my driveway. I tried to use some verbal commands like 'Increase Lucidity!' and 'Increase Clarity!' Each time I did this, horizontal bands of dark and light color would move vertically toward the ground, but nothing appeared to become clearer. I looked at a white cavelier in my driveway (which no one owns...). I concentrated on making it animate. It turned into something resembling a car from the movie Cars. had a mouth under the grill. As soon as this happened it drove out made a right turn and drove out of view. I did the same for a truck that was driving by but it was already moving. I just put a mouth on it... I then tried to animate a house and failed.

Basic Task: Later, I was standing along side of a busy road in my neighborhood. A line line of cars was passing in the opposite lane and one was coming from afar in the closer lane. The car in the distance pulled off the road, and I began walking down the road in the closer lane. After the line of cars passes, I see a big blue ford truck coming down the road. Right before it passes me I jump out in front of it so it cant slow down. I got a weird sensation and the next thing I know, Im still standing facing the other direction. I guess that means it passed through me. This is the first time I didnt wake up from a death experience in a dream. Of course, this is the first time I should have died in a lucid dream.

I voted for this advanced task, cause during the polls, I already tried once, but didn't succeed in bringing a big stone table to life. Now I had the opportunity to try again (being an advanced task increases my motivation to try something). I was quite hard, I don't have a lot of dream control yet (I'm also working on Telekinesis) but with some 'dream cheating' I managed to get a trash container to live


I step out of the window, onto an orange tiled roof. First I want to practice a little TK. I strech my arm forward and reach out with my mind to a flag pole, attached to our neighbours house. It takes some time before I can feel it, but then I swing it back and forth. Next: try to levitate one of the people walking on the street. Again I stretch my arm and try to grab him with my mind, but it's very hard, since he's moving. The only thing I accomplish, is slapping him on his but. And oh, the surprise of this guy when he gets hit by me without seeing anything I slap him a few times and then descend onto the street.

There's a big green cylindrical trash container. I decide this will be the object I'm going to bring to life. It would be cool if he'd throw up all his trash . It has a smiley drawn on it's 'belly', maybe that helps in bringing it to life. I focus on it, but nothing happens. Then I remember the use of 'magic potion' for dream control. A bottle of coca cola is on the street and I pretend 'this bottle contains a magic liquid to bring objects to life'. But when trying to grab it, it changes into a small grey dustbin . Behind it, it another bottle of cola, so I take that and poor it over my green trash container. Nothing happens....

I call the people on the street and they gather around the container. Come on, I say, let's motivate the trash container to become alive! And so they do They yell with me "Go Container, COME ON, Get Alive!" It works! It shakes a bit and makes a big yawn. But then I wake up

Pff, asking a question to some DC is much easier!
