Lucid Task For The Month Of March 2005

**Seeker** · 03-01-2005 02:26 PM

Introduction:
This came about as the result of a discussion in chat. Every month, I'll post a task for everyone that is interested to try to accomplish while lucid dreaming. Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task, your efforts should make interesting reading!

Whoever completes the task gets a custom title until the end of the month. (Note, if you are staff, I cannot give you a custom title, it would override your staff title)

Those that complete the task have the right to add this GIF to their signatures when this month has ended.

Task for this month:

Have a conversation with a dolphin (yes flipper!)

PS. I've been told that these tasks have been too easy, let's see how everyone does with this one.

omg Seeker...I love it!!! I always try to visit the ocean anyway. I'm so excited to try this one.

By the way, I was wondering...instead of having 1 lucid task a month (since so many people have ideas for tasks) maybe you could make like 2 and then you can choose which one you want to do, or you can do both?? Also that way if someone fails with one maybe they can try the other. I dunno, just a suggestion.

Wouldn't that be wild if you became lucid and had a conversation with a dolphin, but in THEIR language?

**LucidDreamGod** · 03-01-2005 07:24 PM

I hate swimming in LD's water scares me, I always picture it is dark and full of leaches! but If this task was started on the weekends I think I could do it, it's just I'm a very light sleeper, and latley there have been a lot of disterbinces, like my mom has to baby sit, and the the baby crys at night, and my neace comes at 6:00 and watches tv it always wakes me if I try to perform a WBTB becouse I'm realy light sleeping then. but when I get my own house I'm going to go to sleep at 8:00 pm and wake up at like 2:00 pm ( just kidding mabie like 9:00 pm to 7:00 it depence on what time I work.

**Fetish** · 03-02-2005 02:28 AM

lmao im gonna try this! hmmm what if i become a DC and the Dolphin is having a Convo with me!

**LucidDreamGod** · 03-02-2005 03:41 AM

I have to put some optimisom into this so I'll go for it!

**Alca** · 03-02-2005 07:45 AM

ha il try this one!

**Placebo** · 03-02-2005 12:04 PM

Haha, sounds good
Will try it

I have a few more ideas for lucid tasks, but they might be a little TOO hard

**bassaddict** · 03-02-2005 05:43 PM

Will definitely give this one a go, hopefully I'll just fly to the ocean, command the dolphin to appear, talk and then fly away above the ocean while he jumps in and out of the water. Beautiful

This is actually a cool task because I've been wanting to recreate a particular memory that was absolutely amazing. I went to Negril with four of my gfs and on our last night there we took a boat on a little cliff diving/snorkeling excursion. As we were returning to our resort on the boat, there was the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen to this day. All of a sudden we saw these dolphins appear near our boat. We had the driver get up close to them and they swam along side us for awhile. I would be so happy if I could recreate this in a lucid (but actually talk to one!)

ps - I've also been kissed by a dolphin (in the Bahamas) and there's even a picture of it

**Gothlark** · 03-02-2005 10:01 PM

Well, I believe I did it last night. My recall isn't the greatest at the moment, but he basically started acting like one of the evil dolphins from that episode of The Simpsons. I believe he shot me in the head. Long story short:

*manifests pool of water in his living room floor with a dolphin in it*
*gives Dolphin human intelligence and voicebox*
*Dolphin puts on a hat and takes out a breifcase*
Me: So, what is it you want?
Dolphin: I want to take over the world.
*Dolphin takes out a gun and shoots me*

Damn you, Lisa!

One of my lucid list goals is to swim with dolphins. Water is ALWAYS appearing in my dreams. I should think it'd be quite easy to find a dolphin or make one appear, that is IF I can go lucid. I'm a little curious now though on how a conversation with a dolphin would go. Would be pretty interesting am sure!

LOL at the evil dolphin and I've seen that Episode, now I've got that image of the evil dolphins in my head!

**cerebusdreamer** · 03-03-2005 02:53 PM

What about Shape shifting Between Dolphin And Human Form? :-)

**Placebo** · 03-04-2005 12:25 PM

Well, it was a really unstable 2 lucid dreams, but I did in fact talk to a dolphin.

I went to a gym (?), and remembered the task.
I met a 'famous' dolphin in the gym, who had decided to leave the ocean.
He spoke like all my other DC's and walked on his flippers, and explained how he left the ocean, etc etc
It was very fuzzy, and silly, and downright stupid

I'll try it again, but in the meantime I'm claiming success (albeit an unexciting one)

Well dolphins have quite the reputation of being a bit kinky http://archives.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/...phin/index.html

I'll give this task a shot, but if the dolphin ends up looking anything like my uncle Frank I'm going to end the dream right there!

**Clairity** · 03-04-2005 09:53 PM

Ok.. do you have to talk to the dolphin.. in "dolphin" ??

If not, then I think I completed the task this morning.

I did WBTB, saw hypnagogic imagery of tiny small green squares and managed to merge into the image. I remembered the task and found myself hovering superman style looking down over a blue green ocean near some cliffs. I said nothing but merely "thought" I want to see dolphins. Two dolphins bobbed up from the water and started jabbering ("eeeeing") at me. I didn't understand what they were saying and I don't recall what I did next.. I do know that I didn't talk back to them in "dolphin".

Do I get credit for this.. maybe half a credit???

If I failed

, I'll just keep trying!

**Seeker** · 03-04-2005 10:19 PM

OK, I'll give it to you, but you have to keep on trying.

One of the things I'm trying to find out with this task is just what the dolphins have to tell us! Could be very interesting....

**Placebo** · 03-04-2005 11:05 PM

Mine didn't say much other than his silly story of coming out of the ocean and becoming famous

I'll try again, and hopefully it'll be more interesting this time

PS: I wonder if people who have read Hitchhikers Guide would be predisposed to a different scenario with dolphins?

"So long, and thanks for all the fish" I guess

**Aphius** · 03-05-2005 01:31 PM

Is it supposed to still look like the headstand badge?

**Alcarinquë** · 03-05-2005 02:55 PM

BWAHAHAHAHA! I have completed the task! (do i just get to put to pic in my sig?)

Here is my dream:

I don't remember the part where I became lucid but I do remember becoming lucid.
(Third Person View) I was in a huge orange room with pink (and blue?) monkeys that were jumping up and down. I remembered that I should do the task so I conjured up a little tiny pool that had a diving board with a dolphin in it. I went up to the dolphin and said "Hello" and it said "Hello" too. I then asked "How are you" and it said something in its squeaky dolphin voice and splashed me and swam away. (First Person) I then tried to give myself muscles and it worked for about 1 second, then my body went back to normal.
I woke up.
I remember 3 other dreams from this same night. This was the only lucid one. I used the technique described here: http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12498

-headdesk-

I haven't been on DV in a while, so today was the first time I saw the task of the month.

Last night I had an LD, where I was in a museum. Where there were DOLPHINS.
