Task of the Year 2016

[Lang]

I tried to do one of the "Task Of The Year" things last night but, I failed miserably to remember what I suppose to do. I was a little preoccupied with some nightmarish events ( In Real Life) that happened earlier in the day. I had some success in having a couple of lucid dreams last night but, it was not what I need to do for the Task of The Year.

Prettiest leprechaun ever, but she was angry with me, so I think it counts: Gold Thief - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

[Habba]

Will make these long term goals for 2016!

[Verre]

Fairies summoned and questioned! They were disagreeable: Angry Fairy and Turnip Fairy

[obfusc8]

So re-did the Chimera one last night, with an incomplete attempt in the first lucide then re-done fully in the subsequent DEILD: Chimera - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views So that's me done!

[DorianMask]

Usually I'm rubbish with tasks, definitely going for these this year! Thanks for the awesome inspiration

[Verre]

For some reason I keep alternating between long dry spells and having multiple epic lucids the same week. Can't figure out why... if there's a WL pattern I'm not seeing it. But no complaints! I completed the Unicorn task, even though I woke up thinking I had failed it because I had misremembered how many people I was supposed to brutally murder by means of this sacred mythical beast! Too long to post, so full dream is here: Roan Unicorn

My goal was just to see if I could have a lucid dream while crashing on the couch in temporary quarters. I remembered there was a task about a dragon, but not necessarily that I had to become the dragon. Hot European Guy appears on the street on a motorcycle. He tells me to hop on. I carefully climb on behind him, grabbing his hips with both hands and pressing my front against his back. I have a vague memory of the task of the year involving a dragon, and I will the motorcycle to turn into a dragon with Hot European Guy and I clinging to its back. He turns around and asks me what I want to do. I point to my old neighborhood and told him to burn it to the ground. I'm never coming back here.

These are very entertaining to read! I'm sticking to TOTM for now as I develop my skills, but who knows.... My only reluctance to some of these is that I don't feel comfortable doing violence against my DCs. LOL

I had a false awakening and naturally became lucid. I looked into a mirror and imagined my self being transformed into a dragon, and I saw the process. I went outside and testing my flying, and fire breath. My fire breath was very weak with low range, so I took a pill and it became better. I flew for what felt like hours and arrived at a devil civilization. I destroyed them all, and then pretended I was Percy Jackson, with the magic returning sword ballpoint pen. 😂

Hi everyone ! I've just registered to dv, but I am an experience LDer (Hi there obfusc8 ) Nice tasks ! I've got two months to complete them, quite challenging ! Keep you posted on the attempts !

[obfusc8]

I've just registered to dv, but I am an experience LDer (Hi there obfusc8 ) Hey Genghis! Welcome to DV. Hopefully this can keep you occupied while you host LC56 But anyways, I finished these back in April/May sometime. Is there a group or something I need to join or someone to PM? (I was going to put all the DJ entry links into this but have to go into a meeting. Might do it later)

[Lang]

Awesome!! You Did it!! To answer the question: no, there is no group that you can join yourself, you will need to PM an Admin. If you did all seven, you need to post your dreams with the task in the thread with a link to your Dream Journal entry before you request wings from one of the Admins that you pm. I think??

[obfusc8]

Okay here's all the links with the completions - Dragon Dragon TOTY completion - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Unicorn Unicorns!! - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Phoenix Recall overload - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views Fairy Spoiler for Fairy TOTY: My Dad is talking about declaring expensive items on the home insurance. This is because he has some bicycles with rare or unusual frames that he has restored, so they are worth more and difficult to replace. We walk into a room and I sit down on the table before realising this is a dream. I wait for a while to let things stabilise before heading out the door. Outside is a tree lined path. I start searching for a fairy ring for another of the TOTY. I find one in a patch of dark earth under a conifer. After stepping inside I call out for the fairies, but see nothing. The ring vanishes. I continue the search and see a larger ring of mushrooms in the shade of a large oak tree. A dog is lying down inside the ring. I step inside and this time tiny fairies appear. "What is your secret?" I ask them. The fairies start to cast magic, which upsets the dog. It gets up and leaves the ring as the ground starts to be covered in water which rises up from the earth. The fairies all start swimming and shouting in joy. They splash water at me. Leaving the fairies to their swimming, I start to fly and see dark clouds with bright blue sky behind them. Perfect for a rainbow... and one dutifully appears. Then I remember there is a one TOTY per dream limit and just continue flying instead. The dreamscape contains many bridges with elaborate carvings on them. I start to fly fast through them and note that some of the carvings seem to be Harry Potter-inspired. Other DCs are flying as well, making it a race. Leaning in to the corners like on the motorbike allows me to gain speed. Gnome Spoiler for Gnome city: Whatever happens before this is lost... The garden has wooden trellises overhead that are covered in green vines. In a moment of clarity I reach up to touch one of the vines and at the same time decide to become lucid. Through the gaps in the vines the sky is visible. It is a deep rich blue, cloudless. Around the garden is a wooden panelled fence. I vault over it. Beyond is a vast field of long green grass with hills in the distance. In the ground before me is a half-dug tunnel leading down into the ground. Well that's a good start for the gnome task, but there's a problem: No tree. I hold my hands out in front of me and make a big rising gesture, focusing my will on the ground next to the tunnel. The ground shakes and a fully formed tree covered in leaves rises out of the grass. It stops growing at around house height, but that's enough. The existing tunnel is about a metre tall, so I have to crawl inside. It is barely a metre deep, so I start digging. Everything goes black, ready for a scene change. "I'm going to see the GNOMES!" I yell loudly, before falling through the darkness and landing on something... It turns out to be a very short male gnome, who glares at me for having appeared out of nowhere and crushed him. The floor is made from a dark form of sandstone and has been carved into cobbles which form a street. We are in a small plaza with a large stone fountain behind me. Leading off in all directions are small houses which are all carved from the same stone. They look too small for me to enter, like children's play houses. The roof of the cave is covered in little tree roots which look like icicles. My enthusiasm and wonder at the gnomes' city quickly pacifies the gnome and he starts chatting with me. There are other gnomes wandering around, none of them more than the height of a child. Hobbit sized. The gnome runs over to a horse and cart. He promptly introduces me to his wife, who is driving the cart, and their kids who are riding in the back. There are about seven of them peering over the edge of the cart. The horse is small, only a pony, but magnificent and chestnut coloured. It is perfectly calm. I pat the horse's neck and wonder out loud how they keep horses underground. The gnome woman is impatient to leave and starts talking about magic and says they can teleport the entire horse and cart to the surface. It is not clear if all gnomes have this power or just the females. Anyway, I climb into the back of the cart whilst the male gnome hops up next to his wife. They prepare to teleport, and I wonder where we will end up next, but sadly wake up before finding out.
