Thread: Task of the Month for April 2015

I completed a basic (bath) after running out of time in the previous LD attempting the same basic (but shower). I flew way up through the "roof" and beyond to try NyxCC's wonderful bonus task but didn't get very far into the task. I really need to catch up on my DV dream journal but will post the dreams here in the thread for now.

Spoiler for Beginning of LD before TOTM attempt:

*After some minutes of patience (good, no giving up if no immediate DEILD like many times before and thus more of a WILD than DEILD) along with the occasional dream eye clench, possibly sometimes mixed with clenching my actual waking eyes gently and getting light vibrations and ear noise. I eventually get significant vibrations and quickly start sliding on my dream stomach over what reminds me of a body sized monorail track with my arms on each side of the track mostly drifting back but also somewhat down at a bit of an angle. After about a minute of what feels like a fun ride at a brisk pace I stop and rollout from wherever I'm at and remove my underwear. I am half expecting to have rolled out next to my bed and I look over and indeed I see my wife laying on her back,

Spoiler for **sexual content**:

completely naked in bed. She looks younger, quite young and her breasts look sumptuous, especially her nipples.

I see her take a deep breath but she looks fully asleep. For a moment I think about getting my camera phone but quickly decide there's no use, I won't be able to bring the image back since its not my real camera phone in the dream. I instead take a mental photograph which I still have in my mental album now hours later.

Spoiler for TOTM shower, ran out of time:

I think of a task of the month to take a bath or shower in a dream and I walk towards where the shower should be and instead there is a wall with wallpaper reminiscent of my childhood bedroom. I just decide the door will be there, the shower door, and reach and open it. it is a bit dark beyond the wall/shower door but I reach in to where the hot and cold control should be, turn it on and I start to get some of the sound of a running shower before I feel myself back in bed. Once again I stay patient and once again I can tell I'm actually back in bed with some waking life noise that I try to redirect into dream noise.

Spoiler for Earlier in LD before TOTM completion and attempted bonus:

* after a similar set of playing with vibrations and backing off trying to let the vibrations ride on their own as before the last scene, I start to get a chorus of so many voices, mostly females talking matter-of-factly as if at some break during a huge conference. I think to myself somewhat alarmed that I don't ever recall voices being so overt...or so many voices. I start to dance with my dream body to move myself solidly into the dream and slowly but surely start to find myself in a big room with lots of people around dressed in business casual. I interact with a so many different DC's in several different ways that I'm going to have to try hard to recall as many as possible here some several hours later. There is a business guy. There is a cute girl that became or morphed into a young boy but who I was able to morph back into female if only a bit of a tomboy with short hair. Later there is a beautiful brunette that perhaps most looks like a cross between Piper Perabo and the new Star Wars Episode 7 heroine. There is a cute younger girl

Spoiler for **sexual content**:

and some oral action

. There are 2 businessmen, all of the men seem notably tall. Those last two I hit the one on the right with a left cross and the one on the left with a right cross. They didn't seem too affected and I lightly clap my hands on both of their faces like we are good ole pals or how a mob boss might do to his men. I am relishing a bit the idea of being the star of my own dream. I shake hands with a confident looking business man and think how this is a perfect opportunity to practice what I would like to project in waking business dealings and talk to him while projecting much confidence. I dance a little bit more in the middle of the room. I walk over to an elderly lady with white hair who looks happy to see me. I am playful with her, caress her right cheek and give her a peck on her left cheek.

Spoiler for TOTM completion and attempted bonus:

I see a bathroom with a bathtub through a doorway on the far side of the room and decide it's time to try the task of the month again. I get inside the tub naked and turn on the hot and cold knobs. The bathtub is slowly filling up. The feeling of the water is realistic but the feeling goes in and out. The water is warm but that feeling goes in and out as well. Starting to skip now as I need to get ready for my day (never went back in to fill in al the details of this LD, but that was the gist of it) but after that I decide to try the bonus task and start flying up and out of the building towards space . It starts to go mostly dark but I can still make out some huge buildings in the distance down far below and I decide to fly faster and punch my fists ahead of me Superman style and jet far into the atmosphere before finding myself in a vast black nothingness.

I completed the first advanced task, and the bonus task!
Hope you guys enjoy!

W.I.L.D. Attempt #2 ~ Since 2 Days Ago, When I Started Lucid Dreaming Again
T.O.T.M. (Task of the Month) Advanced & Bonus Task

~ Dream #1 ~

100% Lucidity

Backstory:
I live high up in an apartment building.

Story:
After sleep paralysis, I didn't see anything, so I decided to create the dream scene myself. I woke up in my bed and my eyes couldn't see anything within my eyelids, so I melted ( came out / floated upwards & ) out of my body. I immediately knew I was lucid. I was still on the bed, so I jumped down from it on onto the carpet. I put hand hand through the window and melted ( went through ) through it. I looked towards the left of me and saw dark clouds with a tint of light gray and vibrant white. A sphere-shaped object like a white Sun was approximately 3 miles away hovered over the horizon in front of me. It glowed white, and very, very hot because I can feel a bit warm from here, outside my window. I looked around and noticed that all the houses were light free, and dark. It seems abandoned. There was a small pinch of the ocean was towards the right of me, and it was colored light gray. Many may think of this seems a nightmare, but I think it is absolutely beautiful, and amazing. Since I was in the fresh open air floating around doing absolutely nothing, I decided to get that shiny ToTM badge, even though it's almost the end of the month. I re-read the ToTM post with my dream body's mind's eye. I wanted to do the advanced task, and the bonus task ( Secretly, I forgot the rest of the tasks. lol ) So, this was the beginning of my first attempt to do the ToTM. I decided to open a portal to an unknown realm that has an advanced civilization. A purple portal opened below me and I flew into the portal head first.

At first, the place I flew into was empty. Suddenly, a light purple flash of electricity struck the scene, and BAM! there it was ... Castle in the Sky V2. If I wasn't worrying about the ToTM right now, I would facepalming myself and subconscious for having such low creativity. I decided to fly over there, and examine the place a little bit. This place was a bit smaller than Castle in the Sky and had no visible trees. There were only two floors to the place, and each floor was made of curved, bronze arches. There are also ramps on the side of the floating building that lead you to the next floor. The place seemed to be abandoned too like Castle in the Sky. Well, that's what I thought at first.

I decided to examine the arches, and when I got close, the arches opened upwards into a tunnel. When I looked into the tunnel, there were tree roots all around the place inside. I walked further into the tunnel of the arch, and I saw a dark, gray wolf with red eyes and small teeth looking at me. I drew a sword out of nowhere, preparing myself to fight, but I decided to make it friendly because I was feeling nice today. After that, I vaporized my sword into thin air. I started to head back towards the outside, and continued to examine the place. I looked behind me, and the wolf didn't follow me. It was huffing and puffing like a happy dog, now. I smiled back at it. I started to go up to the top floor, and when I got there, I saw a red, glowing, square-pyramid prism on top of a pedestal right in the center. I touched the red prism, and it started to moved the entire building upwards towards the sky, and when I let go, it stopped. Sometime later, I laid down at rooftop with my legs dangling off the building, and I looked up into the massive light blue sky with a few clouds in it. After a while, I got up, and decided to do my next task.

I opened a portal to the ISS station, and I jumped from the rooftop and into the portal. Instead of having a portal delay like last time, I instantly saw the ISS and our white-yellowish sun, then I turned to my right and saw our beautiful Earth. I also just noticed I wasn't in the ISS, rather I was outside of the ISS. Uh-oh. I was orbiting the Earth now. Oh well, I guess I'll take a picture of Earth instead. I grabbed my Samsung Galaxy S4 from my pocket, and looked at it. The time read 6:36PM. Approximately 13 hours from when I was dreaming. I unlocked my phone with a pattern password, and opened the Camera App. Then, I took a picture of Earth, and it saved to my fake phone's memory card.

Since I was done with both tasks and I was getting bored for some reason, I forced myself to wake up.

Dream End.

Dream End.

I completed basic task ii.
I'm no exercise junkie in waking life, but I surprised myself and really enjoyed jogging around the dreamhood!

Spoiler for Jogging task:

Since I was already running, I thought I'd just continue and do the basic jogging task.
I ran through a school and onto a paved road. I almost tripped up a couple of times, but I prevented my falls by doing some awesome parkour moves and somersaults!
At the end of the road, I came to a tropical pine forest. Day had become night, so I yelled, "LIGHT!" as I continued jogging, and the forest lit up with orange fairy lights. I said, "Thank you!" to my dream for being so cooperative.

I ran through the forest for a while and saw some people camping out by a fire.
I kept jogging and passed by a group of teenage students walking the other way.
I came to another road. There were no cars around so I jogged down the middle of the street.
Some sunlight had returned now, it looked like it was around dusk. I noticed some interesting scenery on the side of the road, including nice gardens outside houses.
A way down the street, I ran into Sensei and his wife. I stopped jogging so I could chat with them.

Full DJ entry

Bit late to the party, the me, but I'm trying to get back into active LDing practice and this month's tasks are really lovely!
Been getting around one LD per week spontaneously, but in the spur of the moment, I usually only think of flying and looking at the scenery and then slip back into normal dreaming. Soo - some nice goals are exactly what I need!

Advanced ii complete!

Must be all those black-eyed mirror cuties smelling of perfume haunting your computer.

Me, I had a non-lucid shower last night (and some very very vague fragments of being in a bathroom in at least two other cases), where I reached for the soap but it was disgusting, watery, gloppy, clumpy, rotting goo like what you pull out from the drain, and I flung it immediately on to the floor of the shower, and noticed additionally that it was teeming with ants. I got the heck out of dodge at that point…

Hey I just noticed there is no graphical smiley for "exit stage left at rapid speed," that may be a good one to do.

Don't laugh..
I had a non lucid with three really nasty mirror girls this morning...Far to nasty to post on here, These are the ones I keep in my nastyDJ on a locked flash drive DJ..

I had a semi-lucid where I took a shower (in a closet at my old house, oddly enough), but I didn't really have the intention of completing the TotM, so I won't count it... It was an interesting experience though.

Voting polls will close tomorrow and May 2015 ToTM will launch at the Lucid Task Club! Make sure to vote if you haven't and/or to getting your wings

May 2015 ToTM has been launched at the Lucid Task Club! Take a chance and complete it before the 1st to keep your wings one more month (without that painful clipping...) If you haven't completed this month ToTM, don't worry and keep up the good work! You still have a few more days to complete April's ToTM followed by May's ToTM launched here on the 1st!

Good luck!

So, uh…shouldn't it be posted into the Forum -> Lucid Dreaming -> Lucid Experiences -> Tasks of the Month & Year area?

The thread gets moved to the public forum on the 1st of the new month.
It gets posted in the Lucid Task Club a few days before the month ends to give people with wings a head start, as an extra reward for completing a task. It also means Lucid Task Club members have the chance to keep their wings in the next month if they complete a new task within those few days.

Ah, it's a membership-has-its-privileges thing. Well my fake wings at least helped me fly my a$$ off in dreams last night, fabulous night. Oops, clipped now… dangit.

I am probably a bit late, but I did the jogging task! would I need to complete the shower task too for it to count as a completed task?

Spoiler for Dream:

I am sitting on an iceberg. I can't remember how I got there but I am pretty sure that it was somehow connected to the previous dreams. I saw this hovering... thing. It was round and I think that it was supposed to display items in shops. It felt like it was normal. I got on it (I was semi-lucid at this point) and started floating somewhere, but it was a bit slower than Id like. I decided to go into the shops to get a faster one so I could fly around. While I was in the shops I gradually became fully lucid and tried control the dream more. I remembered the TOTM where I needed to jog as far as I can, so I ran out of the shops. The sky looked like a childs painting - there were many rainbows and smiley faces, and it looked as if it was drawn in crayon. The dream wasn't really clear so I stabilised it, but then I "realised" that one of my eyes was closed so I opened it. I was jogging along a path in a big feild. I soon reached the end of the feild where a big river started. There was a city in the distance. I created a path in the water and jogged along that path until I reached the other side. I saw a bunch of ports for ships so I tried to land on one of them but for some reason I flew left uncontrolably. It stopped but I was losing lucidity. I was trying to land on the path. It was quite dark and there were a few houses along the other side of the path. The atmosphere was a little unpleasant. I grabbed onto a branch but my hands suddenly started going numb and I thought that maybe there were some poisonous insects sitting on the branch, but I knew they wouldn't harm me because it was a dream. My hands and feets started burning (not literally - it was just a sensation) and I flew around. I soon "woke up".

I have the full dream and false awakening on my journal page, so yeah.
