Thread: Task of the Year for 2012

Awesome tasks and a great theme

Looks good. I'll do them. I've just had low LDs since I've been a lazy-ass since I finished last year's tasks. By the way, how come I was never awarded for that?

Very nice, I like the idea this year Hopefully I won't take a random break from LDing and actually work towards/finish it this year. I swear that beating Armstrong out of the shuttle was a TotY or TotM at one point. I never completed it though so this should be fun.

I agree! I never really got to congratulate you on your ToTY Wings!

Since i'm here from the beginning consider me in! Some of these sound really interesting - especially things like the Titanic and the rocket launch!

baby let's party!

Sorry about that. Next time PM an admin if you aren't given you wings or color.

Could try these tasks, didn't do last year, because I joined so late.
This year I will, looking forward for the titanic one.

Good tasks this year! I didn't even try last year 'cause I rarely watch TV/movies. This year's tasks look really fun!

Love this. It will be a nice goal to work towards. It's nice coming back to dv.

Wow its epic!

I will try to do them

Coool! I'll try to complete all off them! But I don't like the titanic task, I have a phobia of sinking ships

Back to sleep.

I am walking around the garden and notice a weird box, it is painted in plain green and with nothing over it, there is a door on the left side and I feel like checking it out, but before that, do a RC! Become lucid and wonder why there is a box but then remember about the TARDIS task, alright so he is still where I last left him at, talk with it again and feed him again before leaving.

Back on the village notice something odd, there shouldn’t be occupied castles anymore but there seems to be one in the middle of the village/town, also wonder if the place is so backwards how I will find the camera… walk over and ask someone, people don’t know what I am talking about for some reason, did I go too far onto the past? A police person tells me the only one with a camera is the son of the rich family who own the castle “Eccentric, are they?” he laughs nervously and leaves without saying anything else, oh well I have to go there now.

Enter the castle and get meet by some guards, they tell me to get out so teleport to the place with the boy, he is facing the other way at the window and waving at someone so of course I greet him “Hi there!” he nearly falls down and the girl he was flirting with runs away quickly “Whoa, I scared her, sorry” he turns with a scared look on his face first, then it changes to an angry one “WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?” he asks “I am just some random person who came to borrow your camera, of course” I tell him, he tells me to get out and is taking me to the door when I hear the guards go running towards his room “Excuse me, have to hide” I say and teleport out of the way, the guards enter and ask him if anything happened, he just stands there and says nothing; they interrogate him since he got that pale look and all, get worried he might talk too much and the photo will have to be of dead bodies, but he just tells them to go away and yells at them for scaring him.

As soon as the guards leave he turns and starts searching around so get out of my hiding place “So you will lend me the camera?” “Who are you?” “Already told you” this won’t get me anywhere, about to just steal it when he asks me what I want the camera for “Will take a photo for you and your lover?” think he buys it and thinks I am here to help him as his reaction is going for the camera as fast as he can.

He hands me over the camera and I teleport with him to the house of his lover, they start chatting so yell at them to hurry up, they ask me what to do, so I instruct them to get on the window where the sun is coming from and take a photo, was expecting something different from the big box but whatever… the image comes out, I look at it and think about how wonderful a photo it is, the light from the window makes their face look brighter than I was expecting, though I don’t like the scale of grey very much, I am preparing to take them both to the titanic when my cat wakes me up, and I can’t go back to sleep for the rest of the night, ARGH!

Took the photo, but wanted to do more than just one...

Man these seem hard! I really suck at changing my location. But I hope to try these this year.

Very interesting tasks. I will definitely be partaking in this. I was not very interested in the previous yearly task, as I am not much of a television or movie watcher. This should give me something to do now in my lucid dreams besides trying to make verbal contact with my subconscious mind.

...Speaking of lucid tasks, why has not the monthly task for January been posted yet?

Going to be doing all of these for sure!

The TV one:

I am sitting on a bed, it doesn’t looks like the one at the house though, or maybe it’s just the effect of the night? Get up and go over to light the room, yeah it isn’t my bed. Do a RC while walking outside, become lucid and decide I should get on with the task of the year.

Use matrix-sense to find the TV and go over there, turn it on and then change the channel to a very, very old movie. The setting is at 1930 so enter the movie, they were talking about a genius who invented the TV, how ironic; they ask me who I am and if I am part of the movie set, I tell them to not mind me and teleport to the TV, then teleport out of there with the TV still on my hands and finally teleport back home.

"Once there go over to the sockets and try to fit it in, but for some reason it won’t fit, use magic and let the energy flow through me, the TV takes a while to turn on and when it does all I can see is static, get an antenna from somewhere else and connect it with magic again then try adjusting it, the first channel that comes got a woman with curly hair on it singing, she then gets down the stage and starts seducing a boy who was watching her, I want to watch a bit longer but wake up."

The Titanic one:

Back to sleep.

I am watching a very small TV, it looks ancient and there is no color on it, the movie playing is Titanic… oh right! Do a RC before trying anything silly, so get inside the movie and expect to see myself in the titanic.

Apparently, I did get there, but the sea is the wrong one and the Titanic is really small, only my leg fits, people are freaking out so change the channel and then change it back while making myself smaller, the ship is the wrong one though… teleport the ship several times until it’s the right one then teleport us all to the right ocean.

Once there put myself on a time capsule and wait for the ship to hit the iceberg, when it does put the time capsule again, don’t want to watch the whole thing of how it sinks, stop right before it sinks and fly out of the ship, looking at people being sucked by the water and all of that, I don’t plan to save them but won’t let them die there without hope, teleport everyone close to a beach, the water is a bit warmer and if they can reach the beach without dying due to the strong waves, there will be more survivors than normal, once everything is done just teleport back home to think about the next task.

The Moon landing one:

Back to sleep.

On top of a house, wonder why the hell I am there… no matter, feel really heavy so it must be a dream, jump down and try to block the gravity, don’t want to fly but have to if I want to do the moon task.

Start flying higher and higher but the higher I go the more of a headache that I have, go back down slowly and remember I have to modify my body before going up like that, also have to modify it to survive on space, start with the modifications but stop as soon as Chivis appears, she won’t catch me!

Start flying up, she makes a giant wall that tries to seal me, teleport out of her range and then to the other side of the globe while throwing an anti-teleportation rod, also use matrix-sense to block their control of this world for a short while. Look up at the sky and see the ship of the moon guy I have to defeat, fly as fast as I can and soon reach the atmosphere; remember right away that I have to change my body for security so change it, when I am out of the atmosphere it feels weird… and hot! Get out of the sun-light by flying really fast at the moon and using a magic shield.

Arrive at the moon not long after, look down to earth… wait no earth? Right I am on the dark side, teleport to the other side and then look down, the moon boy isn’t here yet; actually I can see his ship moving slowly towards the moon, ha!

When I turn around notice a big house, it is all red and crazy, like an alien did it (Need to read less conspiracy theories…) move over to the house since that will provide free protection against the sun. There is no door, and it looked like a house due to an optical illusion, it is just a bunch of giant red cones placed one after another, knock at them but there is no answer, teleport inside one of them and see something like… well don’t know, a big kitchen? Try exploring the kitchen but too big and too lazy; just go over to investigate on other stuff.

Walk out of the kitchen and find some public bathrooms, how weird for this to be here… about to get out of the place when a girl glomps me, followed by falling to the ground and she saying idiotic stuff like “HONEY!” or “Did you miss me?” and that kind of thing, push her out of my way and tell her that she must have mistaken me for someone else “Oh no, I saw you fly up here, it is you!” “What… whatever I have to leave” she of course won’t let me, try pushing her again but then she talks of marriage “You can’t leave honey, we will marry in a few minutes!” she says “Oh no we won’t do anything of the sort, I have to go” she gets angry and starts crying, good.

As I am moving out of the way feel something behind me, the girl is throwing an energy ball! Teleport out of the way and then back to the same spot “Why do you want to marry me?” “It was love at first sight!” she says “That is no reason, why?” “I like guys who can live in space like me” is her answer “Oh whatever, I will leave now” she cries again and a giant medusa-like thing comes, her snakes look like a helm of a Greek warrior so I laugh a bit “Mother!” says the girl “OH, so she is your mother” the woman talks in a deep voice and tells the girl to move “How dare you make my daughter cry!” “Oh so you are the root of the problem, so I don’t want to marry her, got a problem?” she glares at me and then tells the girl she will fix it “If you don’t want, we will have to force you!” she says “Oh my, how scared I am!” she tells me to stop being like that “What, your little girl likes me like that” “Anyway, you and which army will defeat me?” of course a full army of people like her enter the room, think she is proud of that somehow.

Use the new teleportation and dance to break their necks and stab them with random weapons from earth “So you and which army?” she puts her hands together and then something comes out from below, the vines start entangling my legs and going up the torso, so I set them on fire and set myself free, the mother gets all angry and yells, as she does so a beam of energy is shot towards me; make a bolt-shield that absorbs the impact and then let the pure form of her attack move below me, return it to her and let her fall “Look girl, I don’t love you so stop bothering me” leave while she goes crying to her mom.

Not sure if the television one will count though, since I went back to my time before watching a channel.

Damn, Hukif! Try and finish it faster, I dare you! I can see you having wings aaalllllllllll year

Oh my goal is to finish it in a week, so have until the 7th to do it. But argh its hard to remember the done/undone tasks in a dream!

Awesome! Got the atomic bomb one done last night. Here's the excerpt from my DJ:

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, launch initiated." Here goes! I squinted to try and see around the sun and I noticed a small shadow several thousand feet in the air, hurlting straight towards me. As it got closer, I noticed it was literallty coming at me! I closed my eyes and felt a quick, sharp pain in my forehead. After a few seconds of silence, I opened my eyes to see that the missile was sitting on the ground right in front of me! I wasn't really thinking clearly and just sort of kicked it, trying to get it to do something. Big mistake.

There was instantly a bright light and I felt very warm. Not hot, but a comfortable warm. I was still in the dream, 100% aware of everything, but was in a massive pile of smoke. I sprinted as fast as I could in one direction until I could see again. After only a short second, I was out of the smoke and was looking back at the explosion. It was a classic mushroom cloud and I noticed that the house I was in was nowhere to be found. I looked to my right and noticed the bunker the scientists had been in. I listened in on them and all I could faintly hear was cheers and a few high fives, as well as some sighs of relief.

Full DJ entry

This is great! Tasks in the previous years haven't interested me much but I'm really excited about dreaming all of these!!
Good luck everyone!

Really like these tasks and looking forward to doing them. Imo, I've always wanted to visit the past, so this will suit me very well.

Dam hukuif! You're ploughing through these!
I'm in!
Let's do this shit.

I have to, must finish by tomorrow!

The sputnik one:

Back to sleep.

Taking care of the plants in the garden, trying to plant something in it and making a hole, become lucid when putting the plant in since its too heavy to be a normal plant, decide I should finish the tasks so try to remember them, but can’t.

It takes a while and finish planting while thinking, but finally remember one I didn’t finish yet, the sputnik one. Teleport to Russia then realize I don’t know where the launching will be at… not good, use matrix-sense to find the place then teleport there, but as I arrive the thing is leaving, some people go and try to pin me down “You can’t be here!” they say “How long until it leaves the earth atmosphere?” they look at me and are about to point a gun at my head so teleport behind them and use the ground to bind them “How long?” one of them says 5 minutes at most since the launching, so I don’t have much time.

Start modifying my body so I won’t die from this, then jump and fly as fast as possible to the sputnik, when I am close to it try to slow down but just pass by and get on a damn cloud so can’t see it, activate the super-hearing and then fly 70 degrees of the source of sound, the sputnik is coming out from the clouds as I do that so just wait for it and sit on the top part and continue modifying my body. When we are about to get out of the atmosphere the thing starts breaking, no! Maybe sitting on it was a bad idea.

Get to the side of it and watch the top part fall, but it isn’t broken, more like it just fell off as planned, we finally get out of the atmosphere and then the sputnik stops and I just continue flying… what? Oh right, this is supposed to stop there, fly back to it and sit again then just look at the image of earth, it looks so funny from the angle I am at, like looking at a giant version of a terrain globe, but one that got moving clouds, continue admiring the scene until it’s time to wake up.

The WTC one:

Back to sleep.

I am looking at the sky, do a RC and become lucid but decide not to move yet, think about any past dreams and remember the non-lucid… that makes me sad, whatever I have goals to do.

Look again at the sky and teleport to the Twin-towers from the TOTY task, look at them and wonder if I will be able to do it, my fear of heights generally shows when in buildings… start climbing at the start, but the building is way too tall for this to work, let go of the wall and then just fly slowly, it takes me about a minute or so to get to the top, in my way notice that there is no people inside the building but there is a lot of people outside, maybe it was about to open to the public?

Look down and see the people, they are freaking out it seems and trying to make signals, I am freaking out too due to the height, try not to look down and just jump down, at first it feels funny and my stomach hurts, but a few seconds in get the fear out and just get on a comfortable position, stop myself with gravity before hitting the ground.
