Thread: Task of the Month for February 2013

I completed the basic task,giving a flower to a DC!
~~~~

So. I'm I. The middle of a residential neighborhood when I become lucid. It's winter, and the streets are full of snow. And there are large trees with leaves on the tree. I decide to go into someone's hpuse since its winter.

I go into a small house that is gray. It looks large on the inside. The living room is sunken in, and the ceilings are high in the living room. The walls are white and the furniture white and gray, sort of modern looking(with mire color this would be my dream house). I ask if anyone is home, and an old fat man comes around the corner. I tell him not to worry that I came in his house since this is my dream. He is unfazed.

So, I go into the living room, and find a tall vase on the floor. I grab a large purple flower and take it out, telling him i am completing the totm. He accepts it without question.

So, he was apparently on his way out, so I accompany him. I say, "where are you going?"

"To the nun farm"

"Why?"

"Who's to say the nuns won't win the lottery." LOL

So now we are outside and it's spring. We're still on a road, but now it's over a large hill, and no longer on a residential road. I then bring up the next task, making a building invisible. I see this strange nature building that has legs jetting out near the street with the structure farther in... The bottom is metal and top wood.

He starts to give me facts,like, "well,this is titanium and urarnium, so to make it invisible...." I told him this didnt have to be complicated, and woke up.

Woo, first try for the easy one, the day after I saw this task! Now, To go back to sleep and try one of the advanced ones... And.. I guess it's a good thing I didn't do the second one since it is the basic too...

~~~

EDIT: I did the advanced too after falling to sleep!

This one is slightly strange... It is in part similar to another dream I had this morning...



I was with someone- idk who- and we were stuck in between two parked cars... At first, it was like it was full of deep water. Some kid swam out out, leaving us... So, now the water is gone, and I'm able to wedge myself between the cars. There is this building In Front if us, it's tucked away in the forest. It's a home office. A few people work inside. Like... It looks like a home, and half a dozen work there...

So. I go inside, and I see my sister in this room being scolded by an adult with large glasses, as if she was the culprit, though she wasn't. She is sitting down, looking depressed. i tell the guy, "you can't scold her, this is my dream." So he does, telling her, "we'll, I can't argue with the dreamer..." They both get up, looking happy. In the living room, there are about six desks with people on it, and I tell everyone to stop working and they do. So i tell someone to put some music on. Instead... The tv goes on, and some strange news show is on. I start to remember the clock task, but woke up....



Luckily I DEILD'ed....


I was back, and I told my mom that was there to promise me that I wouldn't wake up from looking at the clock. She promised. It was sort of like my house now, since I know what the analog clocks look like in my house. At first I go into the nearby office for its clock, but instead I go back into the living room for some reason. On a small shelf there is a small clock.

There was nothing strange about the clock. It was a small, table version of one of the clocks In my house. The second hand started on the twelve, and each time it got closer to the three, I was excited. I watched it for twenty seconds and stopped.

Then, I went into the small attached kitchen. It was like it was Halloween, since there were chewy oatmeal bars with a chocolate coating and with candy corn Halloween candy (I've never baked something like that for Halloween, and now I want to!). I scarfed some down. The I saw some fudge and scarfed that down too. My sister, in the kitchen, sasses me somehow and I was all like,"it's not like we're sharing a dream.. You are already awake!"


So yeah, it was10:30 when I woke up.... My sister sasses me in my dream I was lucid in... Woo.

Wow you're a lucid champ there! I love how you got a DC ( your mom ) to promise you that you wouldn't wake up during the clock task. That was clever. Congratulations!

Thanks so much, Ophelia! . I love the answer the old man do gave me. I may start a thread, like 'ask dc's x for the week.' So we can LOL at all the answers.

I agree. One of my favorite all time threads was ask a DC 'who am I?'

Hey, the color of your username changed, Ophelia.

I had an idea, though I am not necessarily In the place to suggest it... I think that another reward to completing the TotM's should be market points. I'm not saying this because of me (though i did donate 6000 of my points to a DV friend two years ago... And now I have five hundred...). Anyway, I'm suggesting this so that more people would participate.

That's not a bad idea, definitely worth consideration.

My name color changed because I just purchased executive plus membership and there's a little glitch, will hopefully be fixed soon. Completely unrelated to your name color thing.

Cool! This thread and the lucid task club forum are lonely.

I do have to say... I'm not into that color... Brown?... Though I guess I'm not in a position to complain. I like the bright orange that is my username... I think orange is under rated.. No one wears it, in my experience its a rare color in houses...

I love asking DCs too, I haven't asked anything major but the laughs you get from their nonsense is priceless. You should watch this Lucid dreaming mini movie, it's about the question you said was your favorite.

I'm so going to watch it on my break!

I am flying over the Nile river in Egypt, looking down at the green foliage and sandy beaches. I make note of the fact this is the first time for quite a while that I have been able to enter a dream through this method. I fly off over the desert towards the pyramids. I realize there are people following me on the ground. I identify them as Templars. I don't really want to deal with Templars right now. I remember a task of the month for DV, however, is simply to give a flower to the next DC I see. I fly back to the banks of the Nile and look for a flower. I find a pretty one and I pick it before flying back to where I spotted the Templars.

I scan them from above and select one that looks kind of hot. They are approaching me, but I ignore most of them and land directly in front of the one Templar I have chosen. All of the Templars surround me, there are about ten of them, but I am focused on the one. I walk over to him and tell him that this is all a bit awkward… but I think he's hot. I hand him the flower with a smile. He just looks confused. Another Templar grabs the flower away, throws it on the ground, and stomps on it a few times. He says it was probably poisoned. I tell him he's just jealous because he didn't get one. I figure I have completed the task, so I focus on opening a portal to somewhere I need to be.

YES I FINISHED THE ADVANCED TASK!!! I didn't even know it was a task, I just did it on the first of February by coincidence.

Well post the dream! Inquiring minds want to know.

Also, congratulations

I really wanna do the Advanced task I, but I really really disslike celebrities... Could some kind soul just throw a name of a celebrity to me? I can't even randomly pick anyone...

Well, you could do a certain celeb, and when you make cupid shoot him, perhaps get him/her with some other DC.

Yeah that's an interesting take on the task: play matchmaker by getting cupid to shoot a DC for another DC haha. Speaking of this particular @$%! task, another fail:

Anyway, we're still wandering around halls in some building, and he tells me to turn right into a classroom. There was a hot guy in there. Brian asked me, "Do you want him?" I said "Hell yeaaaaah! I just need to find cupid to shoot the arrow." Then he said "Turn around and look behind you," (a la CanisLucidus style, I thought to myself). There was a doofy looking kid sitting on his mother's lap in a chair. No wings though, and no bow and arrow. Pfffft. "Oh well," he said. He gave me his arm again, and we wandered off to have more adventures.

The blow was cushioned by the fact that I had a lucid buddy for the first time. Whole Dream.

Cool dream excerpt, ophelia! I will have to read it later. Will read it later.

I tried for the past fifty minutes to wild... Didnt work. I moved four times, almoat slipped once, and ,y ipad made a noise. Grr... It doesnt help that i am quote wiggly when i try to get to sleep. M legs felt tingly though, so i think thats a start.

Yeah, what I need is someone to just throw in a celeb name, I really absolutely detest them all so much I cannot even pick one randomly.

Justin Beiber .

OR Danny Devito.



Get cupid to shoot the arrow, then spend the rest of your lucid running away from his advances.

Okay. So I was WILDing, and once the dream started I was staring at a clock on the wall across from the couch I was on. I star at it for a VERY long time, as it wibbles and wobbles and speeds up and slows down. It changes shape and colour a lot too. That's pretty much it. It was impossible to tell what time it was. Because it was moving so fast.

Spoiler for for erase faied attempt:

It was in the room, i count fingers, remebered about Totm, but forgot that i should erase big object. looked around me, looking for something to erase. In the room there were a lot of furniture and i concentrated on the chair. It stood among other furniture and disapeared! I really didn't know how i made it, so i tried to repeat it with the bookcase but couldn't. i spent all the LD staring at the bookcase and trying to erase it

I did the basic task 1! I will record the dream in this post, which will be strange since I keep a paper journal.
'...It started out in the weirdest way. I was sitting at my kitchen table, and checked my watch. The time was 6:30. Time for me to go. I stood up, and saw the oven clock as I was rising. It read 8:03. What? Suddenly if hit me, I'm dreaming! I walked into my front room, thinking of what to do. I was remarkably logical, but I had to stabilize several times. I'm guessing that since more of my conscious mind was awake, the harder it was to stay in the dream. I remembered all the TOTM for February, and just decided I would start with giving a rose. I picked up a couch cushion, and found a rose underneath it. With a very long stem. I broke off the four foot long stem into something more manageable, and turned around. There was an old Native American woman behind me. I approached, wordlessly giving her the rose. She took it, smiled at me, and was about to say something when the dream started falling apart. I did my best to stabilize, but to no effect. I stayed still when I woke up, and chained into another lucid dream, right back where it had ended. However I could not stabilize it at all. Possibly end of my REM period?'

Yeah I know what you mean, Draco. Sometimes it seems like when it's time to wake up, it's time to wake up. I feel like some lucids (DEILDs namely), are cut short because that sun is streaming and the 'wake up' serotonin has already started coursing though the veins.

At any rate, congrats on the flower task!

Spoiler for for clock and fower:

i was in the park, and i had body feeling like flying, so i count fingers and flew away. i landed near a smal shop and asked the old woman - shop assistant, give me her clock. she gave me the clock with the watch chain - i opend it, and looked at the minute hand (in dream i forgot about second hand). it was on 12 but it went in other direction and very quickly. about 3 -4 seconds i wait staring at hand till it went to 9 .but then think that it isn't 15 seconds and stared again. The hand again was on 12 . i wait about 6 - 7 seconds till the hand went tick-tock tick-tock from 12 11 10 9 8 7 to 6 - so on my dream clock it was 30 seconds. i didn't want to kill my LD there, so i went looking for my friend, but found only 2 monsters in the bed, then i went through the portal and was on the street, picked up 3 flowers - one yelow and 2 red or purple and wait some time for a suitable DC, i lost my patience, because all DC were or too young or too old and no men of my age at all. so i gave flowers to a woman - she was very afraid of me and became twice smaler. Then i started erase things.....i looked at the multistory house, took all my will, made a gesture with my hand like i erase it - and before me i found a car size of a bus. house was on its plase. and i tried to erase the house till i awoke.
