Thread: Task of the Month for February 2014

Tried the 'give your heart to someone' task, this morning. I was able to dig my fingers into my chest (phasing in, with no blood), but was never able to pull my heart out. There was a fully-clothed girl in my shower, that I kept trying to give it to, but my hand was always empty, when I pulled it out of my chest.

Well I did the Soul-mate thing, Wow did I did the Soul-mate thing..
I cut out most of the gushy stuff but I'll put it over here anyways because it's long.... http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/wobl...k-month-55195/


ps: I deserved this one, It's been a long time since I've had one of those really amazing ones that makes your socks roll up and down

Finally did Basic I, failed attempt at Advanced II.

I had a DEILD and was immediately swung into these fields in which I was running around in with some other unknown DCs. I'd remembered the task so I whipped out a dog biscuit from my pocket--it was shaped like a dog's head and was a very light brown color--and ate it in a bite. It tasted a bit like a sugar cookie, but had a strangely slimy texture coated on top of the crunchiness of it (I don't know what it is with my subconscious and everything foreign being slimy ). Eventually I stopped one of the DCs--a punk girl with red and black hair--and told her I had something to give her. I reached towards my heart, but I was stopped by something else.

For whatever reason, I couldn't stick my hand through my chest, hmm.

Eventually I gave up and decided I'd think about how else I could do it when I woke up and continued with the dream. I think I'll probably end up cutting myself open or something similar to that, or even get another DC to pull it out for me. It doesn't make sense, but even though I can walk through walls and float through ceilings I struggle to stick my hands through things.

double: i used a cloning spell to create a copy of my heart outside of my body, then enchanted it with a revival spell. i gave to a zombie, reviving it to normal life.

Good call on deciding to do it later and not let it bother you. I know when you get frustrated with tasks it often just makes them harder, smart idea just saying you'll figure it out at another time.

I tried Basic II:

Since I'm more in the issue of knowing things about myself, I became lucid and asked a DC "what do you represent of myself?", she took a long time to answer, just when I tought she wasn't going to answer, she said many things which made me laugh (my subconscious is very honest on things I would normally deny!), then I remembered the task and asked her: "do you know who my soul mate is?", she focused like trying to remember something and told me "hmmm, I don't remember his name right now... it's...(*thinking) what was it???.... no, I can't remember", then she started to talk about the time she met someone.... but I really didn't pay much attention because my DC's are very talkative and that usually makes me fall again in the dream, so I apologize forleaving and went to ask another DC the same question, she also took a long time thinking and aswered: "isn't he the boy we have seen from the future?? we think he is the one..." (I'll explain this at the end), since it wasn't a firm answer I asked her "is there a way to know it without a doubt???", but she shook her head not looking at my eyes, when I tried to make eye contact to see if that was a honest answer, her eyes grew bigger, until they were like alien size... I decided to wake up... so I had the feeling of "going up" and opened my eyes.

--The background story here is that I met my actual boyfriend years before I really met him physically, during an excercise of projection into future that a teacher made us, it was some kind of guided meditation, I discarded that vision for years until I met him. The same happened to him also.--

But the most interesting thing about this dream is that I noticed that my DC's/subconscious mind refers to itself in plural but as a unity, like "we think that___" well... I think that's a nice discovery

Wow kilham, that's awesome, congrats! On the task as well as predicting your actual boyfriend

I want to do the dog biscuit eating task but instead I keep dreaming about dogs

Soo - sort of typical - me announcing what I won't do - and sure enough doing it then anyway.
I had a fine lucid dream last night, where I explored a landscape a bit like from a fairy tale with interesting plants and great weather, when I came to two houses and entered the one with a fantastic door made from an intricate web of branches - for the purpose of asking a DC inside:

A woman in her fifties, very good looking with black hair and a red dress and some strange jewellery was behind the bar - it was a pub or café of some sort.
So I sat down on a bar stool and asked her, who my true love would be.
She got a conspirational look on her face, took out a piece of paper and pen and wrote down a sentence - one word per line.
And I couldn't read it - the letters were clear, and I could read it as in read it out loud, but didn't understand it.

So I asked what it means - and she said, it would be in a language, I was yet to learn.
A mix of Latin and something else. It became apparent then, that there was indeed Latin shining through the words.
She said - once I learn that other language - I would know the answer, too.

Yupp - that's it!
Wiiings, pleease??

Last night I completed the Basic ii. I became lucid in my grandmother's house, alone, so I walked outside and knocked on a neighbor's door. A blonde, middle-aged man with a thick mustache and a strong southern accent answered the door. I asked him, "Who is my true love?" fully expecting him to tell me that it was my fiancé. "Well," he replied, "There's someone out there who will never leave you nor forsake you. Whose love will endure for all eternity, who gave himself as a ransom sacrifice for all your wrongdoings." I rolled my eyes and said, "You can't be serious." He responded, "I'm always serious about the good lord Jesus Christ."

I couldn't for the life of me remember any of the other lucid tasks, which is too bad because it ended up being quite a long lucid with good control.

Yeah'n.. You can follow me around by the trail of mangled Zombies I leave trying to resurrect one.....

I sort of popped into a desert Ghost Town from another fishing adventure dream in the north woods and what appeared to be zombie's started staggering toward me from between the buildings and I became big enough (or them small enough) that they were only ankle biters but while trying to think how to save the whole bunch of them together I mashed them all underfoot and then got sidetracked to another dream again.
The sudden change in dream scenes made me lucid..

The earlier dream is over here too. http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/wobl...ry-2014-55250/

And the last one was too convoluted to write..

This is the third edit, Can I please stop now

Totally loved the bonus task!

On the street now and I see this empty space in the horizon and recall I wanted to use something like this to draw a mountain. A bit uncerain if the dream will last long enough, with all the blackouts and instability before. I decide to go ahead with the summoning, yet before I do any motions with my hands I notice that the space isn't quite empty. It looks like in the very distance, as if seeing through the fog is something that looks like a large mountain. As I keep staring at it, it becomes much clearer and closer, till I find myself looking at a solid spot of the mountain covered with grass. The surroundings have changed without me noticing and I am at the foot of this huge mountain. I cover the majority of it with snow until I feel it's enough for the task. Then I examine the slope, which is initially way too steep to enable any upward movements. This worries me but I move to a part of it and feeling very excited summon a pair of ski and ski poles.

I totally can't believe the summon worked as I have nothing to do with this sport. Anyways, I start gliding up the slope, which by then is less steeper. Contrary to my expectations from real life, this is not as hard and actually pretty pleasurable. I glide upwards the slope which goes up and down and it feels as if I am on a roller coaster. Then I reach the top of the mountain and feel adventurous, contemplate on jumping from the top or skiing down. Yet before I can decide what to do, the momentum carries me forward and I continue moving in the air. I notice that I feel no switch in sensations from gliding on the mountain surface to this weird air movement. My mood is great, I gaze to what's ahead and not below me. It is a beautiful view of green plains, with a weird building with one-two statues in the distance and a very large gray palace next to it.

Bonus Task!: Yay, this one took me a while, but still happy I managed to to do it. Since I live in Colorado, I teleport over to the mountains (Visible from my house! ), and find it covered in snow. Perfect! I wanted to add a personal touch to this, so I manipulate the gravity in the dream. I ski up the mountain, feeling the brisk cold air touch my face. God, I wish it was summer. As I reach the apex of the mountain, I feel weightless, and that feeling you get going down a roller coaster, that knot in your stomach. As I turn around in mid air, I decide to go back down the mountain, but with a little boost. I have never felt so... fast? in a dream before. It was fun. Glad I finally got one of these tasks done. Oh, and, by the way, I am not even going to attempt kissing a zombie.

You guys are gross. Haha.

I had a lucid dream from Saturday to Sunday and it took me a while to remember the task (I kept thinking that I had to ask a DC about their NY resolutions). Finally, while I was dream!jogging around a mountain (I wasn't very lucid, I guess...), I ran into a woman and remembered about the soulmate thing.

Me: Hey! Wait, stop running!
DC: *stops running*
Me: I need to know about my soulmate, who should I date?
DC: Oh, dear, no, no! Nobody! *hugs me* You need to love yourself first, you're your soulmate, forget dating! *lets me go* Love yourself. *starts running again*

It was awkward, but also kinda nice.

That's so sweet Potter haha!

I ran into a chubby DC and asked who my true love was. He just looked away while pointing behind him and said "she's over thereeeeee." I didn't see anyone. Also SHE? Wtf. So I stopped another DC and asked him same question and he said "her name is Norma." I spent the rest of the lucid looking for Norma but never found her. Oh well, I got my answer.

Thanks!

And here's Norma for you:

Dayamn.

Score!

vey nice indeed!! that's an incredible wise answer from your DC!

No wings yet as I think I asked the question wrong but I liked the answer and a quite memorable dream for me:

Ecstasy Upon The End Of The World DILD - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

'I can hear someone talking about how some planet (or other celestial object) is crashing into Earth and I am looking into the sky. Everyone starts running but my wife and I seem to have no fear more like a joyful running through this field and there are flashes in the sky, beautiful flashes and I realize that I am definitely dreaming. My wife says something like "lets make love one last time" and we are now running in a different direction from the group deep into the field, for privacy I assume. I remember the TOTM (true love) but I think I said it wrong or she heard me wrong (perhaps "what is true love?") and she answered "It is to give others what you can not." I remember thinking that perhaps she meant "give what you think you are not able to give."'

Yay I've been a DV member for 4 years as of today! Hard to believe I registered four years ago today on a Nintendo DSi after looking up "how to alter dreams" one day! I just wish I was as good at LDing as I was back in the day!!!

The skill isn't lost. Just needs a little push.

Phone post so if spelling and stuff are crap I will fix it later

Anyway wow got out of my 2 and a half week lucid dry spell and got basic task ii done!

I was in a room when I suddenly realised I was dreaming. I went to go do the finger through the palm rc but as I was doing it I realised that my hand was practically glowing and that was good enough of an rc haha. I instantly thought of doing Basic Task ii so as I left the room I imagined my brother to be there so I could ask him who my true love is but nothing was there. I walked down the hallway untill I was in a kitchen. I was trying to summon my brother again and then I saw a fridge door that was open I tried to think my self up a story that the fridge was open because a DC was using it and my Mum came in from another room! Okay with a dc found time to ask her who my true love is. I try to ask her from across the Kitchen but words aren't coming out of my mouth properly so she never heard the question. Words would start off loud then end up quiet and my voice was croaky. This was frustrating and I remember Gab saying something about finding it hard to talk in LDs. (I think) I saw another DC, a dark skinned man with a beard looking at me. I looked back for a bit and wanted to see is reaction if I flicked him off so I did. His eyes widened I think looking back on it I can't remember I just found it funny. I went into another room that is connected to the kitchen and asked my mum again. She said "What? What is true love?" And I said "who is my true love?" She sounded frustrated and said "someone" and then returned back to what she was doing I think she was folding clothes? Haha So with the task done I figured I woud have some fun I went into the next room and the dark skinned DC and another white male DC where moving a couch. I froze the white DC yet he was still walking covered in ice haha I think I was imagining him covered in ice more than I was imagining him staying still but on the brightside compared to other DC,s I have freezed this one had a lot of ice covering it Things went black all of a sudden and I couldn't find my dream body so I woke myself up. I may of still been in the dream though...but ah well I got a task done

Also I didn't get to much sleep I naturally woke up about 4.5 after going to sleep and I couldn't go back to sleep so I stayed up a bit too and I fell asleep 2 hours later. I guess being up longer gave me more awareness haha

^^Congrats on breaking the dry spell! The freeze DC part was super cool!

Asked my dad for a dog biscuit a number of times. Twice he handed me a bone shaped rubber dog toy and the third time a package with the right thing - dog biscuit also bone shaped and I ate a large portion of it. It was very fresh and tasty, had a nice walnut flavor too!

Then I asked dad about my true love - he started speaking gibberish rhymes and I then asked mom who was also there, she said something long and complicated I can't recall.

I did basic ii, but forgot the response... Then failed at advanced i, then did advanced ii with a kiss, but conveniently forgot the tongue part

Basic i:
"I decide to try a few other things while I'm in the building. I thought about doing some tasks of the month while I was at it, but had trouble remembering them. I get slightly angry since I helped partly come up with some of the tasks, but then remembered the soulmate task. I asked who my soulmate was to a girl nearby, but I forgot what she said! I know she didn't specify a name and said something along the lines of I didn't need one, but I can't fully remember."
Do not give me wings for that! I'll get and remember a valid response my next LD and earn them wings!

Failed Advanced i:
"I also remember the task to dig your heart out and give it to someone. I knew there were plenty of DCs around to give my heart to, so I just started trying to dig my fingers through my chest. I'm normally able to phase through walls fine, but my fingers just did not want to penetrate my chest. After trying a little longer, I decide I'll try it later with another way of doing it."

Advanced ii:
"Later I remembered the task of reviving a zombie. So I start looking around for a zombie, and notice that my DCs seem to have all pretty much disappeared. I reach this small wooden cabin, when I see this figure in ice at the edge of the porch. Realizing this is the zombie I was looking for, I run up to it, and think of ways to thaw it. I decide to just use hot breath to melt the head portion and free it's face first. So I tilt it on the ground and start exhaling all over the face. It's slow at first, but soon it just all sorta melts away.
* *I notice immediately that the zombie trapped inside is my co-worker I, but with a green face. I think that it is weird she was the one my brain picked to be infected, and also weird how it's not a very gory face, just green. She notices me and scowls, and starts trying to break free from her icy prison. I realize I can score bonus points here by reviving with a kiss, so I swoop down and kiss her for a brief second.
* *When I stop I notice the ice has all melted and she is back to normal, although looks offended that I kissed her without her permission, and then she walks away. I think oh well, at least I accomplished the task."
