Thread: Task of the month for March 2010

I'm no fan of Dr. Suess, I'm sorry to say, but I'm interested in what my mind would make Truffula trees look like, so I'm going to try for BOTH tasks this month. First advanced task attempt, here I go!

Oh, by the way, the rainbow tastes like Skittles. You'll see; I'll go dream about it and PROVE it!

I did the advanced task.

I was lucid already flying around some school like building. I entered a room that had a bunch of people in it and I thought I they should turn into the "trees" and they did as i was flying through the room.
I said to myself "I knew I wouldn't see the forest through all the trees"
when i got to other side of room i tried to remember what the other task was so i could do it. I asked a DC what it was and we thought for a second and he said your supposed to ask me about the heart. So, i asked where the heart comes from or something. (this actually is a dream task just from a different group, one i don't care nearly as much about as DV ) He goes into a speech about how the heart evolved and it used to be next to the brain or something, I wasn't really paying that much attention or care to much. I went into another room and saw an old friend and his girlfriend fencing. I was gonna go fight him but suddenly everything changed around him and he was in the middle of some sort of play and i was suddenly in the audience.

Haven't tried doing a task of the month for a while now, so I guess I'll take a shot at this one ^_^

Nicely done pllplp

Subscribing to remind myself to actually do it this month!


Do I get extra points for tasting the trees, too? Or should I just make them into sweaters? Mwahaha...

Lol

5 days of forgetting this month's due of ld.... .NOOO well i remembered and now I'm here I'll DO IT!
DOOOOO !!!!!!t..

I might actually try this, if I become lucid soon enough. Probably only the basic, but the advanced is also in the running if I feel like it. Of course, for the advanced I'll actually have to fly, lol.. oh, dreams.

I am on the Moon with Raven. She asks me if I want to do the Task of The Month. What's that?

Eat a rainbow.

Wait? Is this TV? Am I in a commercial?

No, silly, this is a dream.

Oh!

Let's go!

She grabs my hand. We are in Hawai'i. She says were in Tucson. Okay...

Look, a rainbow! Eat it!

It tastes like chocolate dipped dried fruit.

MM!

Now to the Truffula trees!

What? Do we eat those?

We are supposed to just fly through them. Raven opens a Dr. Suess book. We jump in, and fly through the trees. I eat them. They are crunchy like raw broccoli, but taste like fruit. Raven tells me not to eat them all. I spit out the seeds, and more grow.

Whoa, awesome Nomad O_o! Nice going.

I did the basic task! This is from my this night's dream - and from my first WILD.

I found myself in my room again. It was sunny now outside. I pondered on things I could do now. I remembered the basic task of the month – to taste the rainbow. So I flew out from my window, landed, went around the house and saw a faint rainbow forming. I went up and let it flow into my mouth – the rainbow tasted like Skittles! The taste was so rich, I had a hard time pulling myself away from it.
But I did, after a while. I mused about what to do next, and then I remembered my dream horses – I wanted to try out their names. I went out onto the street and summoned both of them...

ROFL Nomad, amg! That was too funny!

Rainbow - Tasting A Chunk Of (WILD)
I'm standing next to this rainbox while lucid which is a pink and blue color and looks like cotton candy. There just happens to be this stand next to the rainbow that is giving out chunks of the rainbow that people can sample. I take a chunk thinking it is going to taste like cotton candy, but it is hard and tastes like a lolliop.

Thanks for the laugh!

"So…" I said after Nomad and I were alone on the moon, "Want to do the tasks of the month? I had thought I might do those tonight. Just for shites and giggles."

"Shites?" Nomad asked.

"Yeah," I said, "Shites and giggles."

"Let's do it," Nomad said.

I opened a portal to the surface of a planet. I wasn't even sure what planet it was, or it might have been Earth. We were in a lush green meadow. I saw a rainbow in the sky. It arched from over a thick green forest and appeared to end at the far side of the meadow. Nomad and I flew towards it. Surprisingly enough, it didn't move away as we approached it like a normal rainbow does. We reached it. The rainbow was made up of constantly moving particles… and it was flowing into a pot. Looking closer I saw the small fragments were m&m's. The pot was also full of m&m's. Somehow it wasn't overflowing… but then nothing about this situation made sense. We were definitely in a dream world rather than a parallel dimension. I reached out and grabbed some m&m's from the rainbow. I ate them. Yum! Dark chocolate m&m's! Nomad also ate some m&m's. He said there was fruit in there. I hadn't noticed any fruit… Oh, well. I grabbed a few more m&m's. Dream chocolate! Delicious dream chocolate!

"The other one involved flying through truffula trees," Nomad said. I wondered where to find those except in a Dr. Suess book… and then I had one. A Dr. Suess book. I opened it and saw a picture of a bunch of the truffula trees. So many colors… trees that looked more like big fluff balls on tree trunks. The book grew in my hands until I dropped it… and then Nomad and I fell through into the forest shown on its pages.

So now Nomad and I were flying through the truffula trees. I could see some strange people flying in the trees a short distance off, but they didn't pay any attention to us. Nomad flew over to one of the trees and pulled some of it off. He ate it. I asked him what he was doing. He said it was good… fruity. He ate some more. I looked at a tree and pulled a small bit of fluff off of a red one. I tried it, and it was like raspberry flavored cotton candy. I wondered about finding something that strange and just eating it… oh, well. My dream body wouldn't get poisoned… and this was definitely a dream world. No danger here. So I ate a bit more of it. I looked over and Nomad was stuffing his face. He suddenly stopped. He made some strange faces and then spat seeds out. Where the seeds landed saplings sprouted immediately. Nomad laughed and said he had accidently gotten a seed pod. He spat out a couple more seeds. I tried a bit from a purple tree… and as I had expected, it was grape. A yellow one was pineapple. I had been in this dream a long time… and soon everything around me faded to black and I woke.

I just downloaded the Dream journal 2.5 and it asked me "which of these tasks do you want to complete?" and it shows these tasks! I went like "OMG, the program just copied the site!!" so i checked both, im going for the basic task!

Mmmm ... Skittles ... ( DILD )

Length : Medium
Vividity : Great

I'm at a mall that is common in many dreams I had, I looked around and the place was empty. No one's there. '' This place seems familiar ... '' I thought to myself. I did a nose RC and became LuCiD. I wanted to focus on one of my own tasks, that is going to the moon. But I also wanted to complete one of DVs ToTM. So I went outside. '' Damn, it's noon. '' I looked at the sky, pictured a moon right beside the sun and it did. '' Now how to go there ? '' I looked around. Took out a sniper from my pocket, zoomed in and shot the moon, a rainbow came out instead of a bullet. '' Okay, now to go there. '' I climbed a few steps. Then I slid ontop of it to the moon. The sky became dark gradually. I landed on the moon. '' Great. '' I stood under the rainbow and opened my mouth. It tasted fruity, just like skittles. I didn't move till it faded by itself. I looked at the Earth. It was like a huge blue ball in the sky. Suddenly ., I started to fall. The scenery turned upside down. I looked at the moon once again and it had a face. It was angry. '' Wander now to oblivion ! '' The voice was deep. Everything turned black and I woke up.

I actually remembered!

Only remember fragments of this one, but I remember that I was lucid. I saw a landscape in front of me, it was green with clear blue skies and had a giant transparent rainbow. The rainbow looked like beautiful lightly colored glitter suspended in the air. I thought for once to maybe to do the Task of the Month. I flew up to the rainbow and took a bite. It tasted like metal. It even felt like metal. I climbed on top of the clear, metal rainbow and slid down the long arch. Forgot the rest after that.

I think I know why it tasted like metal...

Spoiler for Ew:

A few hours before I went to bed I very badly bit my cheek open, and was bleeding profusely from the mouth. I'm still bleeding from it, and it still tastes like metal in my mouth.

Went for a shot at both the basic and advanced tasks, but only got through the basic task before the lucid ended. First DEILD, and made good use of it!

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was having a dream (couldn't recall it) and began to wake up from it. Knowing that I'd wanted to have a lucid dream, I forced myself to re-enter the dream by thinking over and over, "go back in the dream, go back in the dream." The dream looked different, but I made it into a lucid dream nonetheless.

It started with a vision I had from a great distance of a rabbit in a kind of brown rocky, almost desert-like place, and as I went from my waking stat into the dream, I was pulled into the vision until I was right up next to the rabbit. Now that I was successfully in the lucid dream, I thought of taking control, and became the rabbit, running along a rocky path. I thought of DV's tasks of the month, and intended to complete both, starting with the basic one.

While running, I looked in front of me in the distance for a rainbow. After running a ways, a rainbow developed in the distance. I tried to make myself into a human, but stayed a rabbit, and figured I'd be able to travel faster this way anyway. I ran toward the rainbow and watched it get larger as I approached it. I thought in my mind to make myself go really fast to get to the rainbow before I lost a chance to get close to it, and came upon it pretty quickly. As I got close to the rainbow, I opened my rabbit mouth as wide as I could, and lunged through the rainbow to the other side, hoping it would taste like Skittles. Alas, it didn't like anything but a rainbow.

Sorry to double post, but I completed my first advanced TOTM this morning! Here's the details:

48: 3.11.10; 11:18AM Part 2: Any Day Now. (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

[...]and I noted how funny it was that I was holding onto the train to stay in the dreamworld while singing that part.

I thought about a lucid goal I wanted to try, now that I was lucid, and DV's advanced task of the month popped immediately into my mind. I noted that this task would require my attempting something I'd never tried in a lucid dream before: flying. I figured my body was aerodynamic enough to fly if I just forced myself out the window of the car, so I opened the window and tried to fit myself through. It was too small, so I imagined the little square window expanding to roughly twice its size. I found that this window wasn't giving me enough room, so I resolved to plan B: I got up and stood in the main aisle, faced the back of the train, and ran full force out the back opening.

The moment I hit the air I was airborne and sailing! I swerved to the left, bringing myself upward into the air, and saw that the train, cutting through an immense field of green grass, was passing a forest of Truffula trees (like those Dr. Seuss ones?), to the right of the train tracks. I did a barrel roll and flew upside down just over the tops of the trees.

[...]

Completed my first basic TOTM this morning! Woot!!

I snapped my fingers twice more for no reason. I noticed it was a gray and cloudy around me, and there were puddles on the ground. It's been raining! I thought. Rainbows!

I looked up in the sky, in the distance. I imagined a rainbow should be there. A very, very faint one appeared in the sky. Good enough for me, I thought. Now I just have to get to it! I flung my arms out for my wings. They didn't appear, but I pushed off the ground anyways. I felt myself sink. No way is this happening! I've flown once before, I'mma do it again, god damn it!! The dream got a little shaky from this, but I closed my eyes, pushed off the ground again, and let this floaty feeling carry me up. I was flying only for a few seconds and I wondered, How close am I? I stopped and hovered in the air. I couldn't see the rainbow anymore. I looked below me and I was hovering over top of it.

I lowered myself through the rainbow. I could feel all of the colours misting around me with cool water droplets. I stuck my tongue out to catch the droplets. They tasted like the candy shell you get on candy apples.

I was so happy I finally completed a TOTM, that I woke up

Awesome going Clyde Machine and eternal star01 and everybody else!

Thanks, Dragonwhisperer, just waiting to see if I get approved for the orange name.... Miss having it.

You should, you did both!
