August Advanced Lucid Challenge of the Month

[Clairity]

MB, I too have had dreams where I can't get the stupid blanket off!

I love this conversation:

What are you doing?
I'm breathing fire.
oh, ok.

LOL!!

Congratulations on successfully completing the challenge!

Good job, MB!!

I start blowing as hard as I can (I'm sure I'm really doing it; if somebody saw me sleeping they would probably wonder what I was doing). 

I thought that exact same thing about when I did it. It felt so real, and I know things like that sometimes come through to our physical bodies.

[Moonbeam]

Thanks!     I'm really happy I managed to do that. 

Oh you have the blanket thing too, Clairity?  That was incredibly annoying!  I finally just had to ignore it, or I would have spent the whole dream wrestling with the blanket.

TS, I bet when we do something with breathing like that, it may not be as powerful as we think in the dream, but I bet somebody could tell if they were watching us.  I feel like that with eating sometimes; and I suppose I may actually be swallowing.

Do I have to explain the whole dream?  It was kinda stressful and didn't make much sense anyway.  Well I'd gone to some kinda mall and had offered to take this woman along who's grandson I sometimes work with.  For some reason we'd taken the grandson along too (which would be completely nuts since he's just too difficult) and I was struggling to get him to go in elevators and such.  And maybe I remembered that I didn't have to do this because I wondered off from them and the whole place morphed into a square building with a large square courtyard so that the whole thing was shaped like an overgrown traditional Japanese building.  And everything inside can only be described as wacky, random, and dreamlike;  lots of colors, small animals, and puppets.  I see a girl that I was friends with in elementary school and remember going to hang out with her recently but can't decide if that really happened or not (turns out that was a different dream from months back I think) when I decide that I aught to blow fire.

My first attempt fails once again.  But on the second try a six foot pillar of flame comes out of my mouth.  I've aimed it at a 45 degree angle toward the ceiling.  The ceiling is higher than the flame, so the fire just scorches the air harmlessly.  The flame is more than a bit too translucent and seems to be in slow-motion.  I do this a couple more times and find the visuals to be fascinating. 

Now I think about how Moonbeam walked through the fire.  Maybe I should set something on fire and do this too?  I haven't read any of the non-August challenges, but if Moonbeam did it there must be one.  But I wake up.

Alex Lou, you don't have to explain the whole dream if you don't want to.. you can just write down the parts that refer to the challenge.

I bet that was beautiful to see!  Congrats and more cups are on the way!

I posted this in another thread, but I think this is the correct one.

I had just finished the morph into an animal task (monkey!) and remembered the fire-breathing task. I was lying on the ground with my eyes closed, and began a very deep breath of air. As I breathed in, I shot up high into the air, turned around, and began an extreme nose-dive towards earth, belching forth a tremendous fireball while I plummeted. I suddenly saw myself in 3rd person, and noted that I had become a comical purple dragon in the process!

I guess this one would have counted for the animal one as well, but monkey was more fun!
