Thread: Task of the Month for December 2014

Or just make it happen...

I know the next dare I will be giving.... Too bad I failed to do anotherone last night!

I completed the lump of coal task!

In the computer room at my grandma's house, I summoned a boy. The kid warned me that danger was approaching but I didn't care. I tried to summon a snowball to throw at a kid but couldn't. A distraught country boy came in, wailing about something. He asked me a question but I had no idea what he said.

"Blue!" I answered.

"Thank you! That makes me feel a lot better," he said.

"I have a present to give you," I said. I was able to pocket summon a pathetically small lump of coal and give it to him, "I want you to have this because I love you."

I tried to see his reaction but couldn't. He was about to hide in a closet. I'm sure though he was very pleased with his tiny lump of coal.

Summoned a snow ball, and was prepped to hit some dogs, but unfortunately woke up. Good job so far, everybody.

Wow, so close!

Quite a challenge this month. Hopefully I have some lucid time before 2015!

I thought the same thing, but then I found a way to creatively combine this month's tasks with my personal lucid goals / projects. It's more fun that way for me, and then I don't feel side tracked. The monthly tasks can add a more creative element to the regular lucid dream stuff I do! It's top secret though, so I have to adjust the details, but that makes it fun too :-)

You find the most fitting pictures to illustrate your dreams for us!

Fourth false awakening in a row used to have LD. Basic task 1 completed:
I woke up in my bed. Unsure if it was reality or dream, I made RC several times. Mother came and asked me if I’ll be watching TV, I said yes and she turned it on in the nearby room. I got out of bed, and tried to turn the lights on. The light switch didn’t worked, so I started clapping my hands, and light turned on. I made a sign with my hand to turn it off. I looked through the window. It was early autumn morning. I went through the glass pane, and got outside. To stabilize the dream a bit, I licked the wall. Next I went to the road, there were two DC’s. One was riding a bike, second went on foot. I thought There must be snow somewhere. I looked around and found only sand. I focused a little bit more, and large patch of snow appeared nearby. I went there and made a snowball. I looked around again, but there were no DC’s. I thought Wait, my aunt lives nearby! I ran to my aunts house, and entered it. Skinny blonde woman after her forties was sitting near the table and eating corn flakes. She wasn’t aware of my presence. I threw my snowball, hitting her in the back of her head. Snow splashed all over the small, tidy room. She took the bowl in her hands, and finished her meal while standing. She put the bowl to the sink, turned around and smiled to me. I reached for my pocket in search of coal. The first time it was empty. I tried again, and shown her my empty hand. We made a five. The dream lost most of its vividness and clarity by now, so lucidity ended. I was still fighting with it, and DEILDed to another, non lucid dream. It was my first DEILD attempt, and the longest LD I had.

Great job Snehk and nice lucid!!

False awakening is my middle name sometimes lol.

Tried to complete the lump of coal task, but couldn't get lucid that night. I'll try again soon.

Yay! Just completed the snowball task, my first totm ever!!

Make sure you post a link to your DJ (and quote the TotM part if you like) so you can get your wings!

Spoiler for TOTM:

I am lucid, hovering above the street in McAlester, near our old house on Osage. I am wondering whether I should fly north or south. I think to myself that north is where I usually go and things there will be predictable, so I head off into the mystery of the south. I end up over a large town, maybe the outskirts of a city. It is now night. Back in McAlester it had been daytime and overcast. Suddenly I remember the first basic TOTM, to throw a snowball at a DC and see their reaction. I know there is no snow anywhere, so I decide to change the weather. I will it to happen using the expectation effect and suddenly I feel little cold tingles on my arms and face. I look up and there are little snow flakes falling from the sky! I spin around in glee with my arms spread wide and my tongue sticking out to catch the flakes. I realize getting too excited will end my lucidity, so I calm myself and look back down. There is barely any snow on the ground and I decide I must make it snow harder. I close my eyes and will very hard, pulling my arms together with fists clenched in a powerful gathering gesture. I let my emotions feel stormy and grim. When I open my eyes, the snow is flying down at an angle and I hear the wind howling. I look down at the ground and I am now above a highway out in the middle of nowhere. Only a small portion of it is lit by a streetlamp. There is almost a foot of snow on the ground! It is also quite chilly and the air feels crisp. There are no DCs around. I feel like the town is behind me, down the highway, so I turn around and so it is, about half a mile away. I start flying towards it, but before I get up to speed I notice there are two women strolling together down the highway in my direction. Thanks subC! They're brunette and I feel one is the other's daughter. They're wearing snow gear and their parkas(?) are sort of pale aqua and pale hot pink. I land nearby and start to make a snowball. The ladies graciously stop walking about 10 feet from me and continue to chat happily. The snowball keeps crumbling apart. I try to very quickly throw it before it crumbles, but it just sprays apart in the air. I try again, this time willing the ball to solidify and blowing on it, imagining that my breath creates a thin icy crust which holds it together. It works and I haul off and throw it. It hits the younger woman in her stomach and bursts. Both women stop talking and look at me like, "What the hell, man!" They say it with their faces. I throw my head back and laugh.

There we go!

There we go! I would quote the TOTM part, but I write in a lengthy way and don't wanna clog up the thread.. lol

Awesome dream!

If you want, you can use the spoiler feature to post long quotes, like this:

Dream quote goes in here to save space!

Oh, yeah obviously I'm not extremely forum savvy haha

A hint.........

Anyways, After visiting a neighbor who's kids shared their insidious,tropical disease with me that I can't pronounce the name of and likely with no cure known to man even my non-lucids have gone to pot!
To pot I say

Bah, dry month, crappy sleep, what lucids there are have been short and not TOTM worthy.

Blah, me bad pirate memory not carrying over yon goals into yon dreams. Argh.

Hey all, I did a few more tasks last night. It was rather amusing.
After I was lucid and had flown around a bit I found Santa's sleigh by a hill. I flew over and opened the sack and nothing was inside. I closed the bag and expected something to be inside and opened it again. There was a drivers hat and a towel... I closed it again and then opened and finally it was filled with toys.

I then conjured a peice of coal into my hand and flew over to a little girl dc. I gave her the coal and said merry Christmas.
She said something I didn't understand so I asked her what she'd said.

She then replied "You think I don't want this! But I love coal, it's so useful. You can use it for sore stomachs and I can make a graphite skirt! Lucky me!"

Haha she was pretty cute!
I'm looking forward to January tasks now

I did a task! I think.

Spoiler for Bonus!:

The dream started in my room. I got out of bed and I could hear Free Fallin by Tom Petty playing in the background. I thought about moving through the wall to get outside, but decided to just use the front door. I floated up on the roof, looking for Santa's sleigh. I only found a little toy santa with a toy sleigh. I reached my index finger into his bag of gifts and found a tiny present. I opened it up and there were two miniature plastic cherries inside. I was QUITE unsatisfied. I saw another toy santa and looked in his bag as well, there was a present with a styrofoam cube inside of it. I started to wake up again. DEILD'd again

I started back in the same place. I looked over at another roof and saw a bright, golden, shining light and tons of giant presents that were wrapped in various brilliant colors. I knew that santa would be there and so I floated on over and sure enough, he was. His sleigh was there as well and he was having a conversation with a reindeer. I looked inside his bag of gifts and found a single present inside. I quickly tore off the wrapping paper and opened it up. There was a neon green tie inside.

I was so disappointed. I don't mean to be ungrateful santa, but, what a shitty gift! I decided to open another present and I found an even longer version of the same tie that was probably at least 10 feet long. I opened another present and found a blue silk shirt inside. I really don't like clothes as gifts. I opened another present and it had ribbons inside, for putting on top of more presents. Determined to find a good gift, I opened one last present and there was another box inside of it. I opened that box and there were a bunch of ribbons in that box. Damnit. Santa was clearly fucking with me. I had looked at him with a Stare of Death but then I woke up before I could give him a piece of my mind.

Hah, nice one! I wonder what I could find in Santa's bag.

^^ I soooo want a Santas Sleigh dream!

It's been a while! Since October. I want to get on the ball again with these tasks. Going through a bit of a dry spell. Trying to readjust with a new work schedule. I like the Bonus task. I know I'm a bit late in the month of December but I'll give it a go! :-)

Happy Lucids yall!

@Marce: Awesome dream control! Did the coal just appear in your hand, or was this a behind-the-back summon?

Awesome! All those gifts were just so.. awful. I wanna see what Santa has for me!

Finally, the snow task:

I am in my garden but my brain is still adding details to the scene, suddenly it appears a Christmas tree and a snowman (thank you subC!), I take a bit of snow from the snowman and look for a DC for the task, but there is no one around, only two of my dogs so.. I throw the first one at my older dog and it continues smelling the tree, I throw another snowball at my other dog but it just closed its eyes. I take more snow with me and climb a concrete fence to look at the other side. There are children playing at a distance, I yell "heeeey!" and a little cute kid approaches and tells me "hi, how are you?", "fine thanks, how about you?", "fine", "ok, bye darling". I wait for him to turn around and walk away, then I throw the other snowball hitting his lower back. He turns around rubbing his back and asking "who was the bear?" ...another unexpected and illogical answer as usual... I even dreamed that in english, so it's exactly what he said
