Task of the Month for April 2014

**OpheliaBlue** · 04-02-2014 12:50 AM

Introduction:
This topic is for the Lucid Tasks that are assigned by the Lucid Task Club and the On-Topic Administrator. Please attempt any or all of these tasks throughout the month.

Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task. Your efforts should make interesting reading! This is required in order to get credit, it is no longer sufficient just to say that you did it.

When you complete a task: go to your control panel, then to permission groups, and request to be in the group that applies to the task that you've done: either a basic or an advanced or both (specify in the description field if it was the bonus task). Of course you still need to post the dream here because we check.

Whoever completes any of these tasks gets the following goodies until the end of the month:

Your name will be displayed in ORANGE in the online members list at the bottom of the main forum page.
You will receive a special title and badge.
You will receive access to the "Lucid Task Club" which is a limited access forum for people that complete a lucid task each month. Members of this club can submit suggestions for the next month's tasks.

Tasks for this month:

Basic Task i - April Fool's Day: Prank a DC any way you want and record the reaction. - INeverWakeUp
Basic Task ii - Easter: Find an Easter Egg and open it. Report what's inside. - anotherdreamer

Advanced Task i - Spring Flora: Using any means necessary, create a unique plant (unique foliage, flowers, fruit or function) that does not exist in real life. - StephL and her inspiration
Advanced Task ii - Spring Weather: Alter the weather by summoning a tornado. - Sivason & Ophelia

BONUS TASK!! - International Astronomy Day: Get to outer space using any means necessary. "Swim" in space to your favorite planet or celestial object. - Mismagius

Great tasks! Thanks another dreamer for saving our ass - I remember us having to lay an egg about a year ago.

most of us were either afraid of pooping, or ended up pooping in the dream

**Aristaeus** · 04-02-2014 03:20 AM

...Yyyyyeah, I was expecting an April Fools or Easter-oriented task.

Anyhow, Advanced Task I and Bonus Task seem fairly interesting. Cannot say the same for the basic tasks, however. Advanced Task II could have been a little more flexible, in mine opinion. [Shrugs] But whatever.

I might do some of these, if I manage to get enough sleep.

**INeverWakeUp** · 04-02-2014 03:50 AM

Loving this new set of tasks! Can't wait to try my own suggestion, and of course, summon a fucking tornado!

**AstralMango** · 04-02-2014 03:56 AM

Sweet! I'm lovin' these new tasks. Now I've got more motivation for lucid dreaming. Wings of awesomeness, here I come!

**Mismagius** · 04-02-2014 04:24 AM

Awesome, there's a bunch of great tasks this month! Also, yay one of my tasks made it!

I can't wait to try these out, I hope everyone has a bunch of lucids this month~

You're welcome

Oh, goodness! New tasks!! How exciting!

These sure look fun to try out. Although I'm also still attached to some of the old tasks and wishing I'd had more time to get some of those done... Oh. And I miss my wings. :c

... But then, this also motivates me to get some of the new tasks done as soon as possible, so I can have my glorious wings reclaimed!

Saving Caesar from assassination sounded great; but so too summoning a goshdarn tornado! And, although I miss the prospect of doing the former advanced and bonus tasks, the basic tasks for this month look even more interesting to try out than those from before. I'll make sure to give those DCs a lark worthy of acknowledgement Colonel Sassacre's Daunting Text of Magical Frivolity and Practical Japery!

... But awww. Back when I had those wings, I'd totally forgotten about the thread where I could submit new task suggestions of my own! Well... I guess I won't forget this time. See ya!

It's like.... I have a reputation to uphold y'know...

I went around thru internet explorer too but same thing..

**FryingMan** · 04-02-2014 12:41 PM

Well we'll see another dry spell now and these tasks, even basic, are harder than just asking a DC for a name which can be done in a very short amount of time and with low cognitive state. Pranking takes a pretty high awareness dream I'd think. Well, stretching one's abilities is a good thing, right?

**Nfri** · 04-02-2014 01:01 PM

First?

Today's LDing ( induced by galantamine + choline with scrambled eggs, mild)
2:00 go to sleep
4:45 wake up
5:30 galatamine + choline, scrambled eggs and juice
6:00 go to sleep
7:45 wake up

LD Easter eggs
I'm in a house where two gangs go after each other. I hide and I see creatures like from fairy tales. A rubber flying prying mantis find me! I'm afraid that she reveals my position so I jump on it and I rip her rubber head off. I examine it's rubber green body and I become lucid. There is a girl hidden with me. I ask her for easter egg. She give me ordinary chicken egg. I break it and there is just an inside of an egg. I need more eggs. I see old refrigerator, open it and expect to find eggs in there. There is packege of eggs but it's full of tomatoes. I close it and try to summon eggs on more time. Open it and find 5 chicken eggs. I take them and try to change it color to be more easter. I hide it behind my back and expect to change its color. It does every time. I tell the girl that I wanna find a surprise inside the egg. ''Throw it to the ground'' she replies. I do it and I see toys like from kinder surprise. First is puzzle toy and the other three are the same - small yard with plastic giraffe....

LD DEILD Flight into space
... I'm in the mountain village. I decide to fly into space. I already tried it few times but I never managed to leave the atmosphere. I jump and fly toward the sky. Every time I clench all my muscles and kick with my legs I enormously speed up. I do it few times until I see huge green mountains in front of me. I fly really fast toward the mountains so there is no comming back. I tell my self that I will pass through. I'm not afraid of smashing my face so speed up more. I fly throught it easily and now I'm in the clouds. After like 5 minutes I turn my head back and I expect to see the globe. Suddenly I see earth. It's so tremendous huge all over the view. I speed up and now I'm in the ink black space. I see all the planets of our solar system, sun and moon. All are the same size. There is completely silence and suddenly calm and conquering music starts to play. I decide to meditate there. I'm not a great meditator but in this lucid dream and in space with this soft music it was unforgetabble wholesome feeling. I open my eyes and I see strange boards with anciend markings floating around. I decide to wake up and record my lucid dream.

**Sensei** · 04-02-2014 02:03 PM

I have been trolling DCs a lot lately. Should be fun.

we'll see if I feel like doing. It in dream over my goals (hard for me to remember other people's goals).

@mismaningus who is that girl? Looks familiar but I am drawing a blank.

**StephL** · 04-02-2014 02:45 PM

OH WOW!!!

Wonderful tasks!!
This is a month where I'd like to do all and every one of them - soo excited!
Thanks everybody who inputted - and Ophelia - so you can incubate your non-real-life dream-sign as a task - that's great!
What are you going to do, if there is already a tornado, from which you get lucid??
Make a second one and let them collide?

Nfri - huge congratulation!
You and your lucid doping are quite amazing, I got to say!

Fryingman - while I agree - the Easter Egg is quite advanced - pranking a DC should be as easy as you want it to be - say something nasty to them - I guess that would be counting, while not exactly sophisticated - or pinch somebody. I know, they are not in the real spirit of elaborate pranks, where somebody is made to believe something - but they count. Make somebody believe you are a nasty person - voilà.

By the way - I hope, I dream a plant, which I can draw!
Wouldn't it be great sometimes to have a "dream-camera" - so you can re-watch a dream - but that's a whole other can of worms..

Haha, what? Jennifer Lawrence is always smiling, I think you're thinking of Kristen Stewart

She is always smiling when outside of movies, but in hunger games and catching fire she isn't. And I don't celeb stalk her for very specific reasons..

Oh! And Kristin Stewart has the "constipated face" down pat. :cheese:

Fryingman, I believe that the more complex the task, the more you have a reason to try stay longer in the ld - extending length and keeping lucidity for longer. One gets better if one is constantly trying to achieve new heights. Or as Brandon likes to say, shoot for the stars, in the worst case you'll end up on the moon!

Do eyes have to be open? I feel like it would be easier if you could close your eyes and spin.

**OpheliaBlue** · 04-02-2014 07:56 PM

My failed attempt at the April Fool's task:

...I realized I was dreaming (YEAH!) and thought right away about finding a DC to trip. I was already in some house, but it was unfamiliar. My left eye wasn't working right, but I ignored it. I walked into the next room and saw a really beautiful African American woman. Great body, beautiful face and hair.. made me think right away of black Barbie. She was standing in a corner of what looked like a small, cluttered family room. I said "Come 'ere.." to her, with the idea that when she walked up to me, I'd stick out my leg and trip her. But she just shook her head and said "no." Stupid DCs... when will they learn that you're not supposed to tell us dreamers no...

I got my revenge later on.

Whole Dream.
