      Completed Advanced task 1........ (The hard way) I mean, A wing is a wing but what an ordeal to get it...


      8/20 ............... Night of the Twisters...........

      5:30am For the most part this dream was absolutely horrible and totally out of control except for the few minutes I devoted to a task.....

      I was exploring a rickety old barn on a steep hillside with two other guys and a girl when the floor gave way and we fell down the hillside amid dirt and old fence posts, and then the wind blew the walls in and and boards,logs and junk rained down on us and we fought our way to the top just to have another twister do it all over again several times and finally in a quiet time I thought this could be a dream and looked at my hands and they were ok then then looked again and they had six fingers and I said "Yay" This is a dream and we can just fly out of this but first there's a task, A Task?,My kingdom for a task and I thought of the eye task and didn't like it much but I couldn't remember any others and kept checking my fingers with sometimes three and sometimes six so halfway up a hill under a destroyed barn I fished out my right eye but it felt gooshy and it got dark and I didn't like it so I put it back in and just bugged them both out and they popped out to the ends of the cords staring at the girl and she said "Holy Shit, I believe you, Put them back in" so I sucked them back in and stood there trying to remember another task but then another twister struck up top and tossed more logs and junk at us fighting to stay on top and finally I flew to the top and said "whew" I'm glad that's over and a guy said "Don't bet on it" and I looked around and there was like a whisp of smoke rising up in the distance and coming our way and I said "WTF, Lets get out of here" and flew down to the end of the barn and was jumping up and down on a beam left still standing and the girl found a riding mower and rode it up a bank on the other side of a fence by the barn and I said "It's over now, Lets go play" and checked my three fingers again and she said ok and flew over the fence landing on the wooden beam beside me then she said on second thought "I've had enough if this, I'm going home"
      And I said you're probably right and woke up.....

      PS: The girl in the dream was only by chance the same DV girl that pee'd in the pasture with me last month and I'm still not telling who it was, I'm not 100% sure myself .

      I'm on WBTB right now but I just completed both basic tasks! I've voice recorded them, will write them up in full tomorrow. Can't wait to tell you about how CanisLucidus bailed on me at the last minute during the banana bank robbery!

      I completed both basic tasks in the same night: Full dream.
      I had another LD later in the night where I unsuccessfully attempted the eyeball task. I'll have to write that one up later and post my fail here.

      I think I'll wait and try again for the bonus. I have a good feeling about this month!
      I will happily accept my basic wings though!

      Been focusing on school lately since it started for me this week, though I'm still getting spontaneous DILDs and I feel I should mention that the other night I had a sort-of vivid LD where I recalled one of the tasks as being you had to go to a bank and play the triangle.

      So I headed into some random bank I summoned around the corner and stood on the banker's desk thing and started rhythmically playing a triangle. I was completely shameless, and eventually random people around the bank stood up on the desk with me and started playing along for the rest of the dream.

      It was magnificent.

      Finally got the eyeball one. Was worried I wouldn't get it in time.

      I was in some kind of jail, right behind the metal bars. Okay, I should probably do something other than just fly. What were those TOTM's again? I racked my brain, since I hadn't even looked at the thread for like 2 weeks. The only one I could remember was the eyeball one. Okay, that one's not too hard. I pulled up my sunglasses that I was apparently wearing, and reached into my left eye. I kept telling myself it didn't hurt, and sure enough, with a little effort, it just slid out. I held it in my hand. Surprisingly, it was about the size of a baseball. I should have a little fun with this. I shifted my glance to the left, and the eyeball rolled a little to the left. I shifted to the right, and the eyeball rolled a little back to the right. It kind of looked like one of those novelty weasel balls rolling in my hand. Huh. I wonder if I can look through it too. Just then, a kind of ghost image appeared on the left side of my vision. It was facing an entirely different direction, like it was the direct feed from the eyeball to my brain. Okay, that's kind of creepy. I stuck the eyeball back in my head and went on.
      Full Dream.

      Finally got the basic done and failed the eyeball one a couple more times.

      LUCID: I did a little happy smirk and thought of basic TOTM. I turned around and there was a girl sitting there by herself. I tapped her on the shoulder and asked her if she knew any foreign words. She was very shy and quiet and nodded her head yes. She kinda muttered something 'demeck' I repeated back to make sure I heard her clearly 'demeck' and she said yes. I told her good now what does it mean. I worried I was going to lose the dream again and it seemed to falter but I continued on. She mumbled some words that sounded like 'When the book comes off soon', I had to really try to put these together since she said these very quietly and said back to her 'When the book comes off soon?' and she smiled and shook her head yes. I said thanks and picked her up.

      Full dream below.

      You know, "demeck", like when an author's book isn't selling so it gets booted off the shelves.

      "Oy veh, my book.. it's going to get demecked! "

      Ha. That would be a way to use it in a sentence, Webster here we come. Funny.

      This eyeball task is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I think I have tried in 5 separate lucid a at least.

      Sometimes those extra freaky ones are slippery like that. I tried the go to hell and drink with the devil task tonnns of times, even after that month was over. I could always get to hell, but the Devil would always split when I got there. What does tell you about how my subC views me? "Hahaha, even the Devil don't want you." Though my summoning skills are better now, so I should give it another go..

      ANYway, point is, you can always keep trying. And maybe start with something less gory until you get used to it, like removing a finger. Then maybe your nose and an eyebrow. Couldn't hurt right? Well that's not true, it might hurt. Such great advice

      The eyeballs were a natural for me, I'm so used to popping them out while playing "Faces in the mirror" In the mirror I can do anything they do in the movie "Beetlejuice" Including popping out the eyes while sticking out my three foot long tongue and making awful noises...
      Oh-Yeah OB, I had a dream about your Avatar guy (Maverick) and played a dirty trick on him, I shrunk his head..
      I hope it wasn't you

      Had a short ld starting in the yard where the whole surroundings and the grass had a reddish tint. Recognized this was a task, though wasn't sure sure if it would count. Went on flying in the woods. At any rate, first ld with large scale color effects.

      So last night I was on my laptop, and I was thinking about a conversation I had with my friend about Lucid Dreaming. I remembered there was a really good website I was registered on, but I couldn't remember the name. After a little searching, I rediscovered Dream Views. One of my favorite parts of this website was the Task of the Month. I quickly checked here, and read all the challenges, which seemed pretty easy. Anyway, after I fell asleep, I remember in my dream telling someone about Dream Views, and I remembered the Task of the Month thing, but could only remember one challenge. Robbing a bank with a banana. I was only at a low level of lucidity, and the dream didn't have that much clarity. I think I still managed to get the banana to fire like a plasma pistol though, which was cool But yeah, I haven't had a lucid for a while, just wanted to share.

      Ahhh!! The month is almost gone, my little devils' vacation is over and it seems that it must be used an unripe banana to rob an eye bank next to a castle painted on fire with some photoshop flames plug-in with a rare name...

      How was it?

      I finally got that failed TotM attempt posted in my DJ!
      I'm excited to say that I actually successfully completed both the eyeball and Photoshop tasks last night, but I'll have to wait til later before I transfer them to my DJ.
      For now, you can snicker at my silly fail and missed FA from August 21st:

      I was in an empty carpeted room that felt like a school building. I remembered Advanced Task i - Pull your eyeball out and examine it. I was a bit nervous about this one, but I was determined to get the task done as quickly as possible because I felt like I didn't have long before I'd wake up. I tried to shake my head to loosen up my eyeball so it would simply 'pop out' like OpheliaBlue had suggested. This didn't work, and I realised I was going to have to go in manually. I tried to get my fingers inside the socket, but I just felt a lot of pressure, like I was pushing really hard on the skin outside. I tried squeezing and rolling my fingers around the outside to try to get the eye loose and pop it out with the pressure. This wasn't working either.
      False awakening:
      I awoke in my bed and found that I was actually poking the skin around my eye with my waking body. I thought to myself, "I'm glad I didn't go any further with that one!"
      D'oh! I can't believe I missed that FA!
      Full dream

      I had a nice DEILD chain last night, and managed to get the two basic and one advanced TOTMs done!

      DJ entry: DEID chain leads to learning a new word, robbing a bank, and plastocene eyeballs... - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

      :-D

      Nice work, Sammy! I was starting to wonder how we'd ever know what to vote for this month without our neatly compiled Lucid Task Club suggestions!

      Got another one, just for giggles:

      I was now walking down a hallway of my college. Maybe I should start doing something productive now. I remembered one of the TOTMs that I hadn't done yet. I walked up to some random guy. "Hey, do you know any other languages?" "Yeah, I'm fluent in German." "Cool, can you tell me a word?" "No." He walked faster to get away from me and turned into a classroom. I followed him in.

      There was another group of guys standing around talking. I walk up and ask if any of them know any other languages. They all in turn reply no. Why do my DCs have to be so American? Then, a girl walked over to me. "Do you know any foreign words?" "Oh yeah, I know lots of them." "Cool, can you give me an example of one?" "Well have you ever heard of 'juh-kan-uh'?" "How do you spell that?" "Jicanon." "There's a silent n on the end?" "Sure, why not?" "Okay then, what does it mean?" As she walked away, she turned back and shouted "It means armed with a laser." A laser, huh? Sounds like a pointless word to me. Little did I know just how applicable that word would be.
      Full dream.
      "Going through life worrying about the little things is like cooking with motor oil instead of cooking oil. Sure, you can still probably pull it off, but it'll leave a bad taste in your mouth in retrospect." - Me, apparently

      Okay, DJ is up!
      Here are the task excerpts.
      I just realised that without context, it might sound weird that the dream begins with CanisLucidus in my bed, haha.

      I don't remember if anyone had pulled the optic nerve full off. Would the brain hang like an incense thurible?
