Thread: Task of the month for May 2010

Fail. I remembered to try out the task, but I couldn't get to a skyscraper before I woke up. In retrospect, I should have given the dream-girlfriend a flower.

Jeeze, the advanced task seems hard because of the possibility of me dying in the dream...

Our dream-avatars can be pretty bouncy, you know. Anyway, I'm pretty sure you still pass if you wake up because of the landing.

im debating between free falling and flying just before hitting the ground or taking the ground on head first

I tried the advanced but I can't remember if I managed it!!

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This just came back to me while I was flicking through the forums and saw the task of the month. I remember attempting it at some point during the night.

I was climbing out of a pool of water in the desert, holding on to a sandstone pillar. I started hauling myself up the side of it, thinking about the task of the month- to jump off a skyscraper. I hadn't looked up to see the top of this structure, so I thought if I kept going I'd get pretty high. I climbed for ages, and when I reached the top of the pillar, I jumped on to a larger one which went up farther. Unfortunately I have no idea what happened next, or if I completed the task. Real bummer.

Must try again!

Alright!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday my inner clock screwed me up and woke me up before I could complete the first task. But tonight I was determined I was going to complete the task of the month and I did it!!!! I had a pretty robust dream, took good care specially with my first steps to not wake up and completed both tasks! I'm so excited!!!! Today is my 2nd week anniversary in this forum and I already succeed with the task of the month!!!! Yay!!!

My dream is on my journal and here as well as indicated in the rules. Enjoy!!

Handling flowers to entities and jumping over the pit after mocking people

I had a false awakening. I always do RC when I wake up does not matter where, when or how. I was in my bed and my hands looked blurry. The entire room looked blurry and I realized it was a dream I walked away from bed and started to explore. I was looking for something to read so I would reinforce my lucidity. At the same time, I would hold tighter to the dream without exhausting my lucidity. I went to the main door of my house and there was a poster on my door. I knew that I have no such thing as poster in my waking home so I tried to read it. I saw everything blurry so I got closer to try to read it. As I approached the door I was able to walk through it. The door opened itself so I exited my home. The exit was the same, the same stairs and everything was normal. It was night. While I was walking I remembered I had to give a flower to some one. A weird entity appears in front of me. It was as big as a regular cat, but it was pink. It had two wings and a female voice. The entity was female. I pulled a stick from nowhere and tried to turn it into a flower. I placed my hand on the stick and the entity appeared to be happy. She knew what I was doing. A few purple sprouts appeared on the stick. I wanted to do my job well done so I kept concentrating. These sprouts became bigger and bigger until they became something like lilies. However, in the dream I felt it was a type of flower that you can find in a cactus. The stick was not longer a stick but a bouquet full of purple flowers. I handed it to the pink entity and she got very happy.

I walked away. I was walking on the street and it was day. I wanted to perform another reality check to keep up with my lucidity. I looked at my left hand, my thumb was missing, I looked at my right hand, two fingers were missing. I also felt my phone vibrate in my shirt pocket, but my phone was in my pants pocket. I found it weird so pulled my phone And actually it was weird because my phone was in my desk and I have nothing in bed that vibrates. Nothing from walking life was near me except of my bed, covers, pillow and wife. I pulled my phone and I felt like staring at it to set what was going on. It was a phone I do not own and it was doing funny stuff. The vividness of the dream skyrocketed. Too many reality checks in a row and the detail grew. I could see everything very clear. They sky was very clear and blue. I could feel the wind in my face, hear the sound of the cars... everything. I felt very happy.
I saw suddenly a few skyscrapers. I remembered I had to sky dive from one of them to complete the whole lucid task. All the skyscrapers where in the other side of the road. I felt I was for a while in the dream and it was very vivid so I was not afraid of waking up. I took flight. This time I did not need to perform my typical three jumps to fly. I just floated and started to fly. When I had a considerable height and I was heading to the skyscraper, the wind started to blow hard. I could not move, I was paralyzed in the air. Slowly the wind was pushing me back. I held to a tree and the wind blew even harder. I could hold still until the wind stopped. Then I kept flying towards to the skyscraper until I reach the top. There was a parking lot on the very top of the building. The sound of the street was low. I was pretty high. I walked around the parking lot. The whole lot was surrounded by a metal fence (so people would not fall off) I was going to jump out but I found something funnier. I heard there was a lady in the lot so I wanted to freak her out. She was parked next to the edge of the building. I jumped over her car and started to mock her. I started to make noises, to jump on her car and laugh and her. She told me she was going to call the police. She pulled her cell phone and started to call. When she was done, I jumped over the edge of the building. She started to scream. I reached the ground very fast. It was fun!! There was a policeman coming towards me so I decided to bounce back to the top of the building. The police man was dressed like a S.W.A.T. but he was a regular policeman. However, I crashed in the ground. Did not hurt a bit, but the policeman grabbed me. I started to spin to teleport and go crazy as my tasks were accomplished. However, everything became dark. I knew I was about to wake up, so I kept spinning.

I woke up very happy and wrote everything down.

I won't try I will do this lol.

Basic ToTM ( DILD )

Normal Dream

Lucid

¤ Comments ¤

Length: Short
Vividity: Great

I was just outside of my school. I had the idea of doing the ToTM, but I wasn't lucid. I found a flower and picked it up from the ground. I went inside and walked to my classroom. To my suprise, it wasn't my normal classroom, it was a movie theatre. I looked at the board, they were showing a trailer of Toys Story 3. I walked up to the last seat upstairs. I then sat down. After the trailer finished, they were showing the How to Lucid Dream video from youtube. I realized that something was wrong, so pinched my nose and became lucid. I looked down at my hands, and the flower was still there. A girl came to me. " What's your name? " She asked. I told her my name. " Sex? " She asked. " No, thanks. " I replied. " No, silly. I meant male or female? " She asked. " I don't know. " I replied. I gave her the flower. She thanked me for it, then I woke up.

Skyscraper - Diving Off Of (WILD)
Being taken up this very high cliff while lucid when I remember the task of diving off a skyscraper. When I concentrate on finding a skyscraper, the cliff in front of me turns into a tall skyscraper that is built into the cliff. I float up to the top of the skyscraper and land.

Because of the way it looks with these bars across the front of it, I decide that this must be somewhere in London. Although the side I was on was built into the cliff, the other side looks more like a traditional skyscraper as there are tall building all around it.

As I go back to the cliff side and get ready to dive off I begin feeling weak, so back up and take a deep breath. I then run toward the side and dive off head first. After tumbling through the air for a while I begin to sense that I'm getting close to the ground, so concentrate on leveling out, after which I come down to a soft landing. The top of the building is barely visible as I look up.

After a long night of non-lucid flower giving and pretending to give my Uncle a flower which wasn't there, I finally gave a doctor a flower while spending time in an illness quarantine.

It has to be a full lucid dream though.

The last dream was a full lucid dream. I'm sure you aren't implying I need to be lucid throughout every dream of the night.

Alright, I'll give this a go.

I guess I should clarify my dreams? I'm new here and unsure why my lucid dreams aren't considered lucid. I have many dreams in an evening and wake between dream chains. I was giving out flowers during non-lucid dreams throughout the night. These dreams were interspersed with lucid dreams where I would mime giving someone a flower, but there would be nothing in my hand. The final dream of the evening was fully lucid after identifying my dreaming state during some bizarre car ride. The flower was interesting, as I made it appear in my hand and was a wilted rose. The flower looked as if it had been cut off of a bush about 4 inches from the bloom and had been sitting out of water for a few days. The color was a pale pink with a bit of red @ the edges. I was comforting people in some sort of quarantine setting with a nice warm pool of water when I decided to conjure a doctor to give the rose to. I had also decided, before falling asleep that I would try to give my flower to a doctor. If this is still unsatisfactory for meeting task requirements, some advice would be greatly appreciated.

No, that's not what he meant (I don't think). For the TOTM (and TOTY), clarification like what you gave below...

... is required. It's why many members quote the completed task in question from their journals. It also helps to put the lucid part of the dream in another font or color, just to make it a little easier to find where you did the task.

I had a feeling That I didn't go into enough detail. Thank you for the pointers.

Lucidity! I did the "give a DC a flower" part of the task, but the building I jumped from was only three stories tall.

Pause, as I consider where to land.

Full-speed, I crash into the remains of the entrance, numbly feeling my ankle bend at an impossible angle. I stand up, feeling no pain, and head east toward the blurry archway.

There's no one here, unfortunately. I sigh, and look beyond the arch. There's a whole bunch of people milling around on the lawn beyond it, so I consider trying the flower task. I pick up a flowering piece of the clover weed that runs rampant around Ixburg, and scan the area for someone my age - most of the people here are elderly.

I focus on the piece of clover in my hand and it turns into a violet. The colours shift and blur and it becomes a rageddy, fushia thing. The flower shifts into a perfect bunch of green and I concentrate, pulling a pink rose-bud from the centre.

I spot a woman my age exiting the local college. She couldn't be a supermodel, but she has long, blonde hair, and something else draws me to her. I hand her the rose, smiling. "This is for you," I say, and turn away.

"Wait!" she says. She looks like she's about to say something important. "Are you Israel?"

I don't know what she means, and I answer honestly. "I don't know." I say, and walk away.

miss me ninja? anywho,
completed the basic task: give somebody a flower.
i was walking in my barracks to the duty hut so that i could sign out and go to walmart with my boyfriend.i changed my mind and said that i wanted to go to the beach so we did and while we were walking on the beach we saw a little girl and her brother making a sandcastle. she was trying to make a flag unsuccessfully out of seaweed to stick to the top of her tower. instead i bent down and made a green rose out of the seaweed and stuck it in her tower for her. we walked away and as i was dancing in the sand in front of alex i conjured a boquet of roses behind my back.walking up behind him, cuz i had went behind him to hide the roses, i jumped on his back and handed him the roses. he made fun of my cuteness and i ran away as he tried to tickle attack me. i hate being tickled.....

gonna try this ASAP

Yeah I hope to see you soon with it completed I feel lonely in the lucid task club

Do you have to complete both to get into the "lucid task club"?

Nope, just one will get you an invisible membership card.
But, completing both gives you four wings, and who wouldn't want four wings?

Hey, I could totally use four wings. Especially while I'm jumping off that skyscraper.

I don't suppose I could borrow said wings before I do the advanced task... please?

You don't need 'em, you got LUCIDITY!
*flies out the bloody window*

*as a bloody pile of goo*

I... need to work on my landing...

I was going to sleep on the roof of a building, i walked to there and i started to try to sleep, but the streets were very noisy and i couldnt sleep, so i looked down and i became lucid, i had a parachute and there was lots of people looking at me as if i was going to suicide, then i jumped, i started falling so smooth i didn't have to open the parachute, and i didn't even reach the floor, because i was floating like one meter above the ground, and alot of people came around me asking how did i do that,i didn't want to talk, then i blasted them all with telekinesis, and i went to find my DG...
