Last night I had a long LD (about 5 minutes, which is still long for me).

I had just woken up a little earlier, so when I was riding in my car a couple of minutes later it suddenly hit me that I must be dreaming. I even skipped the RC. I watched my hands for a moment and when I saw a nice wooden house (I don’t recall ever seeing one like it in WL). I got out of the car and into the house. The house looked empty and I decided to go outside and really enjoy flying around for a while (I only used it for transport last couple of times and forgot to enjoy it). When I was flying around that house a woman spotted me. She pointed in the sky and I waved back at her. She got inside to tell others. I went behind her and she was telling her daughter about me, when I floated into the house. I offered her daughter to fly with me, which she liked. I grabbed hold of her firmly and slowly floated toward a closed window. (I was a little afraid only I could fly through it and the daughter would bounce back, but we both flew through it nicely). I took her as high as the tree tops and she really loved it (and so did I, acting like superman). Her mother was looking at us from the ground. After a while I dropped her off on the ground and she gave me a big kiss. Then I realized I also wanted to meet my dream guide to ask her stuff (which was my personal goal of this LC). I asked the two women if they knew where I could find her. Suddenly we heard helicopters and sirens and we figured they were coming from me (illegal flying, lol? ). They took me by the hands through the house and into the garage. (At this point I slowly started going with the flow). They convinced my to lay in the trunk of the car, which I did. When they tried to close the trunk my bird (which suddenly had appeared in the dream) suddenly flew away and I felt I was waking up (with a big grin on my face).
Edit:
This night I had a medium length LD (that turned into a FLD after awhile in which I got arrested and been put in a lucid dreamers prison with walls I could not fly through, lol)

I was riding a bus and had trouble with the ticket system, I lost my bag, lost my traveling companion and I missed my bus stop. When I got out it hit me that this must be a dream and did a RC and turned lucid. I tried to fly as fast as possible to see if could fly by the bus, which failed. After that I walked into a store and showed the girl behind the counter I could grab money out of the cash register without opening it by putting my hand through it. After that I also walked straight through the counter towards her. When her boss entered to room I kept switching place from behind and to the front of the counter and back each time he didn’t look for a second, which made him very confused. The girl couldn’t stop laughing about it. (At this point I basically was going with the flow). After that, 2 cops entered the store to arrest me and they dragged me outside by my arms and put me into special lucid dreamers prison. There were a whole bunch of unhappy lucid dreamers in there (maybe you guys? ). I tried to escape but they had special walls and windows that caused me to bounce back. In the end I did escape by jumping on a wall. A guard tried to convince me I should come back and it would be better for everyone, but she couldn’t convince me and told I wasn’t interested in their cult-like institute.
After almost a month without a LD I stopped visualizing the tasks before going to bed, so couldn’t remember them. Since I had 4 in the last week, I’ll try to complete a task next time I’m lucid.
almost forgot about this my dreaming skills are so lame I could cry. but I did have a tiny LD this morning. Probably a bit longer than I remember, since my recall sucks even more than my LD’ing skills at the moment. I remember meeting a couple DC’s. one made me dig around in dirt and stones to get my vision working better lol (I bet it was the DC’s way to mock my low lucidity )
Well we’re half way through the LC, so it’s time we go a bit deeper. We all have nightmares, and they’ve haunted us since we were children. Lucid dreaming gives us a chance to actually fight back and even get something out of the experience. This is what this task is all about.
Given the unpleasant nature of nightmares, I realize that this task could be very uncomfortable to some of you. If you don’t feel up to it, use this time to catch up on older tasks.
Note that I am not awarding points for having a nightmare; I don’t want you guys to intentionally try to induce one and possibly have a very disturbing dream just for some points. What I’m really looking for is for you to stand up to something you are afraid of in a dream if it comes along. Because of this, rather than awarding early points, this task will have a special 20 pts bonus any time you do it, not just while it is current.
The points are very cut-and-dry on this one:
Base Points:
Confront a fear in a dream (i.e. don’t run from it unless you genuinely feel threatened): 50 pts
Secondary Points:
Defeat your fear (or make peace with it): 50 pts
Repeatable Points:
Face more than one fear in one dream: 20 pts each
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. 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. )
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…
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.
Yes it was already posted, just like the first time… maybe I have a precognitive gift. 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.
But, after that one, I had another 3 lucid dreams. (from the last few days) 2 short ones and a medium. I’m going fast…
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.
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.
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.
+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 .
Then I realized I also wanted to meet my dream guide to ask her stuff (which was my personal goal of this LC). I asked the two women if they knew where I could find her. Suddenly we heard helicopters and sirens and we figured they were coming from me (illegal flying, lol? 
). They took me by the hands through the house and into the garage. (At this point I slowly started going with the flow). They convinced my to lay in the trunk of the car, which I did. When they tried to close the trunk my bird (which suddenly had appeared in the dream) suddenly flew away and I felt I was waking up (with a big grin on my face). 
). I tried to escape but they had special walls and windows that caused me to bounce back. In the end I did escape by jumping on a wall. A guard tried to convince me I should come back and it would be better for everyone, but she couldn’t convince me and told I wasn’t interested in their cult-like institute.

|20 early + 40 base (making a movie with friends) = 60 pts| as well as |30 lucid pts|
. For now, you get |20 lucid pts|.
