Thread: Lucid Task for the Month of March 2008

Introduction:

This topic is for the Lucid Tasks I assigned this month. During this month, please attempt one or both of the tasks.

Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task, your efforts should make interesting reading! This is required in order to get credit, it is no longer sufficient just to say that you did it.

Whoever completes either of these tasks gets the following goodies until the end of the month:

*** Your name will be displayed in ORANGE in the online members list at the bottom of the main forum page.

*** You will receive a special title and badge

*** You will receive access to the "Lucid Task Club" which is a limitted access forum for people that complete the lucid task each month.

Tasks for this month:

Basic Task: Prove that you're indestructible (i.e., overcome your fear by doing something dangerous or suicidal).


Advanced Task: Bring an inanimate object to life

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..

this will be good....a goal for the month...it will start of basic cause i am a noob

I got the basic!!
Im afraid of flying, so when I was being chased by my best friend who just happened to be carrying a chainsaw, I jumped through a window and I summoned an airplane to overcome my fear, but what I got was a tinyyyy ass airplane. its wingspan was probably like 3 ft. So anyways, I was holding on to the wings of the airplane and I started to maneuver and control it. I was flying allllll over the place! Over trees and people and stuff I had a blast.
Very awesome LD for me, also my longest.

The task was to prove that you're indestructible, not to overcome your fear If you had crashed the plane or let the chainsaw slice you up it would have worked.

Last night I was at my school in a dream, I was stabbed. Does that count, If not, I'll probably have something by the end of the week.

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.

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.

Well, I'm not part of the staff, so I don't really have any say in what counts anyway. But yeah, go for it! If it's something you guys never did before, it's definitely worth doing. It is pretty fun.

If I was good with summoning, I would be all over jumping off a tall building, head first into a giant blender.

Some good ones already guys, good job!

Hopefully I can end this dry spell caused by getting sick, And find something interesting to get myself into.

Pretty funny technique Sara!

I wish I came on earlier to view this because I just completed Febs task and remembered it was now march after i woke up :/.

but these sound fun, i'll give them a try.

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.
