Thread: Task of the month for March 2011

Sorry I didn't get this out 5 days ago, been swamped.

Serial Dream RPG....

hey so we gotta post the TOTM in our DJ right?

Forgot about this! Tonight before bed I will remove all wings and such, plus dreaming these boring tasks...

Dream fruit. A piece of cake! See what I did there?

Also, Percy, you have a typo in your sig. It should be "Come and take a look at our Wiki" instead of "Come and take a look to our Wiki". Just saying.

Fixed.

Thanks!

I'm still newish to this forum, but I think I completed the basic task:

Blue = Relevant to the task

Here is my lucid from last night. It was a DILD and my first real attempt at a TotM, even if it was only the basic task.

I can't remember exactly how this dream began but at one point I was involved in some sort of car race. I remember travelling around the track. I was in a car in the back of a semi-trailer that was reversing at speed around the race track. When we came to the straight I knew I had to drive the car out of the track and jump it through some hoops. This all seemed to make perfect sense at the time.

As I jumped through the first hoop I dived out of the car and slam-dunked a basketball through the hoop. This may have continued for the next few jumps, but I can't remember.

Eventually I remember holding onto a big blue rock climbing wall. Basketballs were hanging off hooks in a line directly above each other all the way up the wall. I was about 7m up the wall. It was around this time that I randomly became lucid! I grabbed a basketball and looked up the wall at a hole I had to dunk it into. I realised it would be hard to jump, so instead I should just fly. I flew up and dunked the ball, but it didn't really fit down the hole. I was impressed that I could fly so I flew off the wall and around the area I was in for a little bit.

About this time I remembered the task of the month. I didn't expect I would be able to make it to the moon to easily as I have had trouble making portals recently, so I decided to attempt only the basic task.

Eating a piece of fruit sounded easy enough, so I decided to look in the fridge. I flew down from where I was hovering and into a door which was conveniently located next to the rock climbing wall. Inside the door was a place that looked a lot like my kitchen. I went over to the fridge and opened the draw that I keep the fruit in. Inside it was a lot of fruit. Strawberries, watermelon, rockmelon, lemons, and pears. All except the strawberries were chopped up into smaller pieces. I grabbed some watermelon and ate it and then ate some strawberries. Neither tasted as sweet as they do in real life. The rockmelon also tasted dull, and I was able to take a huge bite out of the lemon without it tasting sour.

Not long after this I woke up into another dream, briefly went lucid and then woke up in real life...

I have completed my first basic task of the month, although in the dream for some reason I thought it was the advanced one:

Concert on Teraluna - Dream Journals - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource

... We're sitting at the table in front of Yuya's place.
For some reason the music is still playing.
We're talking about waking life. I complain that I'm stressed lately and that I want to visit her more often...

... For some odd reason I think of 'dream fruits', there was something about them, but what was it?
Yuya takes one of those blue lemons from a basket on the table and hands it to me.
Then I remember, it was the advanced task of the month on DV! (It's the basic one actually, I confused it)
I can't believe I remembered it, I only read about it once.
I take a big bite out of excitement. It's very sour, I regret taking such a big bite.
Yuya laughs.
We talk some more before the dream ends. (I can't remember what we were talking about though)

It's quite odd. I tried to remember the February one a lot, because wormholes / portals are quite common in my dreams, so I figured it would be easy to complete the advanced task.
I never remembered though.
For some reason I remembered this one quite easily.

This is my first month to try the TOTM! I planned on doing both the basic and the advanced in the same night, but my dreams were collapsing in 1-5minutes each so that wasn't going to happen. I barely even managed to get the basic done. I assume since this was during my 11th hour of sleep my body was trying to tell me it was time to wake up. Here's the part from my DJ that relates to the task.

I DEILDed again and found my self standing in front of the back door, but the door was open and a girl I used to go to school with was walking inside. I thought it was weird that a girl was able to open a spider infested door when I wasn't, but ignored it and followed her inside. My Dad was there and he noticed I was going straight for the fridge. He started listing off all the different things he had for me to eat, but I told him all I wanted was a piece of fruit. He explained that they were kind of old and after I pulled one out for my self, he pulled out a couple and started cutting of brown spots to give one to the girl that was with me. I looked at the fruit and it looked like a deformed pear/apple combination. I took a bite and chewed it, it tasted like a combination between a pear and apple which I expected. My Dad started explaining that he needed to leave and as he was droning on and on that I should watch after the house while he was gone the dream collapsed again!
I DEILDed and found myself back in the kitchen where I left off. I picked up the fruit that was wrapped in paper towel to soak up any juice that leaked out. I continued eating the fruit and the paper towel together, I was too lazy to move the paper out of the way, and it was an interesting texture.

What kinds of fruit are people planning on eating? I'm gonna try to make something up but if I can't I'm gonna eat these.

Is that lychee? I've had lychee before from a can. They are delicious.

I plan on eating a banana. I'm very new to lucid dreaming and I'm still figuring out how to gain control so I'm thinking of a banana because it is the fruit I eat the most so it might be easiest for me. If I were to make up a fruit I would want it to be the size and shape of a mango but full of colors like blue, yellow, pink, purple, green. I would love it if it could have the taste and texture of a star fruit.

I'm going to try to invent a fruit too, assuming I get a decent lucid this month. I'm really not expecting my lucid dreams to come back until spring break or summer vacation.

I've been getting a lot better at flying recently, so I'll try flying to the moon to find my fruit!

Ah, dream eating, how easy.

I like the advanced task ninja

No, it's the fruit from a Kousa dogwood tree.

ya im guna eat a banana.

Yes, I confess.... I saw this on the 2nd, I think, and forgot about it like 5 seconds after closing the thread. I did not remember how "ugly" do I look without wings. They will be back soon

Btw... I need to change my signature... there is a fourth Mushroom Heartless, the Golden Trichoma, from KH re:coded... and it is a pretty one I hope I have my psd file...

Dark side of the moon? That's cruel wicked and evil! (I aint going back ever!)

I'm supposing we have to eat the fruit at our own will while being lucid, but what if we eat fruit in a normal non-lucid dream?
Sorry my nub-ness but I'm new, confused, and amazed by the incredible forum and the great community.

Sorry, but to get credit for the task you have to do it on your own will, in a lucid dream. Non-lucid dreams don't count.
