Task IV - Type D

Sensory input

What you need to do here is receive as many sensory input you can.

Visuals and sounds do not count.

Points..

If you remember any specific touch, smell or taste you experienced. + 5 each

If you remember any specific touch, smell or taste you experienced and couldn't recognize it from waking life. +10 each

If you are in a situation in which you use all of your senses. +15 points


The idea in this exercise is to allow you to use the dream environment to open your mind and experience things that are harder to experience while awake.
I think this exercise is very helpful, great and fun if it is approached with the right, creative state of mind.


Waking life

This time, you can grab another 5 points extra for doing a simple exercise which I recommend you to do as it well help you with everything else.

The exercise is:

Concentrating on each of your senses until you are concentrated on all of them. This is harder than it sounds. Your mind has to be clear and solely concentrated on the information you are absorbing through your sensory input systems. +5 points for this ^^


I highly recommend every one to try this exercise (without any relation to the challenge or dreams in general, it is a very uplifting consciousness exercise)

Hm... I've seen water in a dream last night... Though nothing much...

I was on a boat, which was floating on a river. I looked through the window, and saw water...

I dont think this counts, but I had a dream two days ago in which, being chased by a monster, crashed through a window, and hit grassy ground. I felt the window smash outwards, and I felt the dull thud when I hit the ground.

This task is a Type B task, and now it makes a difference.

For the next day you get double 50% more points for doing a Type B task, if you do both the Type B tasks, you get 100% more points ^^

For those of you wondering about the time schedules.

You can take a full day (24h) from the moment you read this as long as it still fits the date. Just be sure to take a time that will be comfortable for you every day and do it like that always.


And the task..

laughing

Today, you need to laugh !!





And the points

If you get a good laugh. +10 points

If it was about something you have never "thought" of as entertaining. +15 points

if you remember the thing that made you laugh after the dream (IRL) and give another good laugh about it, +15 points/ if it made you hysterically laugh +20 points

If you were laughing for more than what you recall as 30 seconds inside a dream. +15 points, and if you can remember how it felt physically, another 25 points, 40 points (combined with a C task), if you remember the entire physical reception you had, you get 50 points ^^

and the new mega bonus

if you get lucid in the dream, and you manage to just concentrate on laughing without any funny mood and start laughing until you can't stop.

100 points !!

You have to do it if you're in a situation you dont find funny.


Waking life Exercise - Highly recommended ^^

This exercise is very powerful .

About 5 minutes before you go to bed, Sit down in a comfortable position, and start breathing deeply, when you feel relaxed take 10 very deep, slow, deliberate, breaths. Visualize yourself breathing vital energy with every breath and clearing away all the toxins and stress of the day every time you breathe out.

When you're done, do whatever you thought of doing, don't go straight to bed! even if you feel relaxed. It's important to do the breathing exercises a couple of minutes before you're really done for the day ^^ it kinda gives fuel to the dream in my opinion.

In those couple of minutes try thinking only positive thoughts.
Let go of all of your fears and troubles. Let them sail away.
If any disturbing thoughts enter your mind, banish them knowing you will deal with them later. Try to experience everything in those couple of minutes as a light dream where everything is nice.

When you get to bed, concentrate on whatever it is you want to as long as it is very happy until you're starting to feeling your thoughts are gathering more shape. Doesn't matter if its visuals, sounds, texts, smell, physical sensations, whenever your thoughts gaining more volume, start concentrating about being in a dream, don't want to be in a dream, don't try or wish to be in a dream, just think about that experience, and when your thoughts gain up just a bit more, start thinking about laughing in the dream, don't think about anything specific, just about the action of laughing , try to experience that , hold that feeling, of being in a dream just laughing. You should do it until you fall asleep. Then as you feel as you are really close to fall asleep (hoping youre still having that experience), make the wish to be there. Don't try to be there, don't want to go there. Just express your desire to be there. Have that feeling of just how nice it will be to be there now. Project this emotion for a while and let it go, don't pay it any more attention.

Throughout this whole exercise, don't let any negative emotions enter. Right form the moment you start the breathing exercises. Also, throughout the exercise in bed, don't think about the process and what you're doing and in general, try having a clear mind, keep the constant useless chatter away, and try focusing on what you're doing and just on experiencing wholly.

This exercise , done correctly, will surely get you into a very nice dream

This is a Type D task.

And what you have to do is to close your eyes ^^


points

20 - for remembering any moment in the dream in which you closed your eyes.

25 - if you intentionally close your eyes, (not only if lucid)

30 - if you remember something you heard or saw while closing your eyes.

50 - if you are able to teleport to or create any environment you want to in your dream.


100 points for establishing physical connection with eyes closed and staying in the dream. This applies if you have a solid understanding of your physical self while still being able to control the dream world. In this state, quite everything is very easy to manifest.

This is an old task I did (again ) the dream is found here

Sorry for being late

Im having a very busy couple of days.

So here's the task.

This is a Type A task

And basically, as you did with water and fire, now you do with air ^^

I find this a very amusing task, as air doesn't exist in dreams yet we still feel like we are breathing.

If you remember consciously breathing in or out inside the dream. +20 points

If for some reason it was heavy breaths. + 25 points

30 points if you count more than 3 breaths.

If you remember seeing / hearing / feeling the air move. + 40 points

If you felt as if your whole body was breathing. + 50 points


The 100 points is a nice challenge if you're lucid.
What you need to do is to be aware of your breaths, know that there isn't any air, be aware of how breathing makes you feel and then stop "breathing" , "hold your breath", and try to still feel as if you're breathing.

Enjoy ^^

Ugh, I've had no luck completing tasks, as I can't get my LD's to last very long. I did have one last night though that lasted over 10 seconds...
