LC# 28: Winner, Siiw! Congratulations!

Oh noes! I did it again!! I had a dream about the task but didn’t read it yet. That’s the second time this is happening… I had a medium lucid dream about a evil dream character and confronted him, I asked his name and told him that I’m not afraid… at the end he didn’t feel like hurting me, instead he wanted to walk away. :tongue: The dream fades and I hear my boyfriend talk to me. Then I wake up.

Soo… euh… I don’t know if this dream counts? I did the task but didn’t knew about the task when I had the dream?

Two short lucids in the last few days. Well, I know I was lucid for probably three minutes or so each time, but I don’t remember the dreams and I know I didn’t do the tasks. I just pretty much remember the fact that I RCed and knew they were dreams and that they were rather short.

I don’t remember when, but it was when the task was active that I had a few lucids in a row one morning. I remember getting lucid in a dream, but not being inside anywhere. I was walking along on a frozen river. I was lucid for a few minutes, but didn’t start trying the LC right away because I thought it would be hard to find a place to watch a movie. Finally I decided I’d try to go to a Pirates of the Caribbean world, and stupidly jumped in a hole in the ice to try to drown myself again to switch dreams/scenes. At least this time I remembered that if my sight goes dark when I intentionally try to go into a different dream, I’ve almost always been waking up in an FA lately. Sure enough, I went into an FA and was pretty much immediately lucid from that. However, I don’t believe I attempted the LC at all at that point…

Then, I’m pretty sure it was an ND instead of an LD, but I remember a dream where I decided to try to go to a Star Wars universe instead. I’m pretty sure I got there for a minute or two, but I wasn’t there long.

(Yes, I’ve been very lazy about posting this… I should have done it when I first had these dreams. :eh: )

Edit: This task goes perfectly with my personal task since I wanted to revisit my childhood nightmares… and there’s two themes I remember (and I wish I could remember the third one). I could also try some more recent themes of my nightmares. I’m not sure I’ll attempt a dream that has a ghost in it… those are the worst of all of mine that I remember. The murderers are easier on my mind than the ghosts…

Was the task already posted by the time you had the dream? If so I think I can justify letting it count, otherwise that would be a no.

I think I sort of did the fifth one in a middle length LD I had last night. Here’s a brief summary (like summaries aren’t normally supposed to be brief):

SPOILER - Click to view

Basically in a dream I had, there was a pretty obvious and slow sniper who was trying to assasinate me for one reason or another. I knew about him and easily evaded all his attacks, but it still made me afraid of what would’ve happened if I got shot. But I got lucid after a while, and felt fed up with him and his doings. So the next time I noticed him, I remembered about this latest task and laughed inside for my luck. Having read the stuff here a few times over and over, I thought I shouldn’t run away anymore and wait for “death” (so that I would maybe get to see pretty cool stuff as well). I turned to face the guy, and let him shoot me. It was very pleasurable to see that I didn’t even bleed after standing a bullet in the chest. I walked around to find someone, but couldn’t manage doing it. And then woke up.

It’s also great to see that when I get lucid, I seem to have a natural ability to do anything at will. :content:

Yes it was already posted, just like the first time… maybe I have a precognitive gift. :tongue: I posted my dream at the Dutch forum at February 11, while you posted the message at the 10th (for Belgians like me, it was evening then)… It’s not a problem if you don’t count this dream as a task, maybe it was just a coincidence. :smile:

But, after that one, I had another 3 lucid dreams. (from the last few days) 2 short ones and a medium. :grin: I’m going fast… :woo:

I don’t have time to translate every one of them, for now, but if you want to see some proof, I will update my DJ soon at the NL forum. :smile:

I think my sleep schedule is pretty messed up right now. I had a dreamless sleep yesterday when I took a 2-hour-long afternoon nap, but fell right into a dream at night. I woke up 30 minutes after I went to bed.

+1 long LD for me without any of these tasks

I had a short LD this morning. I woke up from my alarm to get to work, but dosed off again. Moments later I was standing in front of a skyscraper and realized I was dreaming and was getting late for work. I doubted if I should wake up or continue the dream. I decided to try to fly to the top of the skyscraper and got pretty high (dodging a lot of falling people), but suddenly I couldn’t see anything anymore and I woke up (and needed to hurry to get to work). No tasks once again.

  • 2 short LD’s

I did overcome a fear but didn’t remember the task, so that doesn’t count. (I can do better! :grin: )

+1 long LD (with a FA in between and regaining lucidity on the next dream)…No tasks completed, because the dream included a naked girl which was very distracting :wink:.

+1 short LD :cool:

Whoamg, I’m not dead. I didn’t want to post too many dreams about my job because they’re typically boring and I don’t care to remember them (why feel like I’m working more shifts than I am?); it took almost a month of no writing on LD4All to remember a dream not related to my job besides that it involved leaving it. This was a short LD.

Sorry I’ve been busy lately, now really sick :cry:. The only thing I could remember was an extremely vivid dream, I think it had a lot of meaning behind it. I’ll get back to this as soon as I recover!

Long LD this morning, there was background music but I didn’t remember it afterwards

I’m not dead I promise!!!

I’ve been pretty sick the last couple of weeks, give me some time and I should have the task and updated points by the end of today!

+1 short LD

+1 pretty confusing LD, bugged with FA’s and lack of lucidity. At first I was in bed and did a RC, because I had audio on saying “You’re dreaming, do a RC”. Too my big surprise I was dreaming. It was dark and couldn’t get away or take real control. When I was walking through the hall I thought I had already woken up and was now sleep walking (pretty common for me :tongue:), so I went back to bed. (This was actually a FA, because I was in the wrong house). Suddenly I was at work and realized it was weekend, so I had to be dreaming. I showed a colleague that we could walk through walls and I took her flying…I slowly lost lucidity again…after a while I woke up (another False awakening, because I was the wrong bed :eek:)…shortly after that I found myself flying around my office again in front of other colleagues. I acted like a lucid dreamer, but I think it was more a FLD this time…I woke again and started writing in my dream journal (another FA :grrr: )…I ended up at work again where my colleagues had turned into robots with shiny metal heads and they were joking around…Finally I woke up for real and had to write down the same dream the 2nd time in my dream journal. Some stuff in my room had been displaced, so I must have been sleepwalking as well at some point or I’m still sleeping. :bored:

Darn, FA’s can really mess with your mind. :crazy:

Other than having lost some interest in the LC (haven’t even posted two LDs I had some weeks ago when task 5 first started, and still not going to atm), I’ve really not done a lot with LDing lately at all. Also, I wanted to let you all know I won’t be on at all the next two weeks, starting 28/2/11. I rather don’t like skipping out in the middle of a task, but my absence is necessary. Good luck guys, and I’ll see you in two weeks!

Still not feeling well? :confused:

Sorry for not being present either. I’ve been having terrible recall due to not enough sleep, personal crap and, well, slight depression over my lack of LD’ing improvement :sad:

Calculating points now… task and update will be up tonight. I’m so sorry that I kind of abandoned you guys there for a couple of weeks. School work and being sick has put me behind in all aspects of life…
