Thread: Task of the Month for December 2014

Ahhhhhhh!!

/me catches up

Arggg..... I'm not even getting close yet.... but thought to join the conversation anyways.
Wishing you all successful dreaming

@ThreeCat I remembered the task and coal appeared in my hand. It was extremely fortunate.

Finally, after a disappointing November and an almost repeat performance this month, I beat the buzzer/ball drop and got Basic II done.

Spoiler for Coal TOTM:

I decided to actually get some stuff done. I thought of the TOTMs and remembered the coal task, although I thought it required giving the coal to a little kid. I reached in my pocket for coal, but I couldn't find any. I affirmed to myself that there was coal in my other pocket, but I couldn't find it there either. After two or three attempts, I realized that I was saying the words, but still had some doubt as to if it would happen or not. Once I did an RC and reminded myself that I was dreaming, I patted my pockets and felt a hard lump in my right pocket. I reached in and pulled out a lump of coal wrapped in wax paper. It had icing on the top, which made it look like a cupcake, but I scraped it off as best as I could. I looked for the younger kids that were in our classroom, but all of them were gone. I walked out into the hallway, but it was empty.

I walked outside into the courtyard. There were two kids on a miniature golf cart driving towards me. I stop them and tell them that I have a present for them. They seem excited, but when I pulled the coal out of my pocket, they seemed almost scared of it. They threw the cart in reverse and drove backwards until they hit a tree. I walked over and placed the coal on the dashboard of the cart and walked away. They drove forward for about 30 feet until they hit a bump. The cart rolled over and both of the kids fell out. I wasn't sure if I should go help them, but I saw a man (supposedly their dad) laughing and taking pictures with his phone. I lost lucidity at this point, and soon woke up.

Full Dream.

Still 4 days left! AAAAAAAA what a dry month!

My dreams are getting more and more waking-like which is not necessarily a good thing. Just last night I encountered a rapid-fire sequence of "WTF!?" moments (like 6 in a minute or two) and missed them all. Oh, and earlier in the first recalled dream of the night, I went through a whole thing about "feeling like I was getting lucid," including an adrenaline rush of excitement (where I wondered "hmm, if I felt that in a dream, would I wake up?" AAAAH!) but NOSE PINCH FAILED ME, OH THE HUMANITY! then I went on "pretending" and "practicing" what I'd do in case of lucidity. I mean, REALLY!?

With the last ding from the Great Clock (and 2014 being no more) this thread gets this lock:

With the click of my mouse, January 2015 ToTM comes to the house!
