Aloha old oneironaut friends
I'm back, and managed to complete the basic task last night.
Check out the full write up here:

These other tasks sound super awesome too. I can't wait to get lucid! Hopefully May will have better dreaming for me than April did!



Hmm. I've done this from non-lucid to lucid with in-dream-WILD. This may throw me for a loop. Have to save it for last.

Edit: And I'll choose fire for bonus. I think I finally know how to go about this.

It is a really good way to teleport in dreams if you just lay down, close your eyes and slip into a different dream. I have heard of people actually using this to dilate time as well. Similar to inception, but not based off inception.

I realize that. It's just super unpredictable for me.

Yes, but if you can get a 100% anytime WILD, then you can get to any dream goal in a second.

I WILL get at least ONE of these task done for May!

It's cool to see first timers and old timers all getting excited about these tasks!
Congrats and good luck to everyone!
I'm looking forward to meeting the monster under my bed soon.

I managed the in-dream WILD during a nice series of lucidity that must be among my longest. I hope to add pictures, that remind me of some of the dream scenes, to my actual DV DJ entry but that may be later today or beyond judging by the way my free-time has been going lately.

Spoiler for Before the TOTM attempt:

I am zooming along at a good pace and there is a fork in a covered retail and food area like an outdoor mall with mostly covered sections. I veer to the fork at the left and something about the decision or the way I made the action cues me in…wait a minute, I am dreaming right now! I go around the shops looking for something interesting to check out. I see a few DC's here and there, including a couple in some kind of dessert shop. I fade into a false awakening of being in a laying position in bed but I feel like I am still in a dream and in my dream body with no visuals at first. I start to see a view of a wall next to the bed mostly obstructed by a sleep mask. I am doubtful that this is my actual sleep mask and is in fact a dream sleep mask and I am in our old bedroom at M Blvd so obviously this is a false awakening.

Spoiler for TOTM and how I "woke up" from the in dream WILD (into the void):

I go for the TOTM to do an in dream WILD. I pull down the sleep mask and search in the darkness of my closed eyes. It still feels like I am laying in bed but I can see the room again and it seems like the same room. I decide to float up out of bed just in case I start moving my waking body. After a few seconds of nothing I start to float up in the laying position and I immediately jump down onto the bed up and down joyful that I held onto the dream realm. My wife is in the bed

Spoiler for sexual content:

and I plop down and offer my ahem for some oral. It is very enjoyable and I take some other sexual actions on her at the same time. After a few minutes of that she begins to perform the oral a little too aggressively for my liking and

I move on out of the bedroom door. There are two females in the living room area, one particularly petite and the other average sized. I thought about some things that I had read from some who want to put some moral taboo on dream sexuality and I decided that such thoughts were BS. I reminded myself of that decision and held each of their hands and led them into the bedroom on the other side of the living room.

Spoiler for sexual content:

I started on the petite one while telling the other one, who had sat on a nearby bed watching, to start undressing. I enjoyed watching her undress while pulling off the other ones clothes. I started intercourse and her breast were also petite but just as sumptuous on my tongue. To ramp up the eroticism for me personally, as I am inserting I give her a look to indicate that she should let me know if I need to be careful with my size. The DC responds as intended asking me to be gentle, saying that I might hurt her with my large "ahem."

We ended up on the floor somehow and it has become a little awkward so I turn her over doggie-style and continue. I see a mirror on the other side of the room and we sort of easily zoom-scoot over next to the mirror and I am able to get another view of our "interaction." Inspired by the mirror, I mount the other female and grab her more sizable breasts, sort of comparing the overall experience and it doesn't seem any more exciting but definitely very enjoyable. Her position was already in line with the tall mirror just to the right of where I was previously positioned on the floor. I was able to watch her breasts dangle from the mirror view while also going at her doggie style.

After a while the visuals started to fade but I just danced my way through the void until the visuals came back up and I found myself in a very different house.

Spoiler for For how the end of that in dream WILD led to one of my favorite lucid explorations as follows:

I decided it was time to go outside and headed toward what felt like the front of the house. I came to a door and reached for the handle but all I could see was a dead-bolt lock with the key side facing me and no key in hand. Instead of summoning a key I decided that the door would be unlocked and would open with a simple push and it did. I look out to a huge field with many large trees and brush hiding what may lay below.

I fly up and out over the landscape at a leisurely pace a little ways and start to get some declining visuals and decide to fly back towards the house that I came out of. As I approached it, it was a large stately house with several large balconies on the left side of the house. It looked like either the sun had just set or that it was just before sunrise, a little darker than when the sun is fully out, but with that special lighting at those times. I see several windows with lights on and think about peeking into them to see what I might come across but instead go to a door on the left side of what looks like the back of the house.

As I enter there are a few DC's in the large room and they are introducing me to two blonde women that are coming down large and wide wooden staircase. This is obviously a mansion house of a wealthy family that has many craftsman features, the kind of features that you don't often see any more except in restored homes. The home didn't feel old at all however. I wasn't looking for any more DC interaction and decided to explore the house instead.

I went up the stairs sort of float walking my way up and turned back towards the back of the house and into a great study. I was planning on looking out the window to the field I flew over earlier to see what it looked like but got interested in the various intriguing items on display. One was a little statuette that looked like it was made of stone with faded paint. It was fairly simple, not intricate, figure with what looked like a crown on their head, not unlike a chess piece that was made to resemble a person. I decided I would try to morph it and it shortened and curved into the shape of a figurine of a small girl leaning over something…interesting. I see a figurine of a polar bear and without really thinking it morphs briefly into a deer with large antlers before becoming a brown bear.

I look around to my left and there are what look like a lot of nicer antique souvenirs. One is a wooden stick looking item stained darker and with some decoupage design on it that looked like something you might find in a nice tiki bar. The dream started fading again but this time I eventually could feel that I was truly back in bed. I tried for a while to see if I could drift back to sleep without moving but eventually had to a adjust my position and was too awake.

That last scene sounded full of interesting sights to admire - it's nice that you could recall it in such vivid detail!

I decided to go big or go home. I'm tired of sitting on settled. I will never improve on the things that I have never done if I never try them. I need to move to the deep part of the pool and swim like hell! I'm only going to go for the Bonus Task and I'm going to make a mountain appear AND afterwards, my personal goal will be to make it disappear. You may ask, "Have I done anything like this before?" Hell No! But I have heard that if we believe we can tell a mountain to move and it will move. I have now spoke it into existence so now its too late for me to take back.

Again poking my nose in and finding the tasks really nice!
I'm in the Steph tries to convince herself to put in the work again phase, lets see if something comes of it this time around...

Awesome tasks and lucids, you guys! Please let me know if someone has any unauthorized wings or is missing some.

Good luck!

If bonus wings look the same as advanced ones, that's because they are. Both same goldish. The basic wings are silverish. Do you need a second set? Sorry, I'm new to this.

Unless something has changed, Bonus wings are both wings at once... Or! If you already have both wings you receive nothing more for the bonus task. There prolly otter be something extra, Just saying.

^^ Some extra mayo would be nice!

"That's what sh…" aw never mind

Well, I had a keg of beer blow up in my face last night and cover me with foam (which was pretty funny in retrospect) but I didn't think to try to smell it and didn't get lucid...

Completed Advanced Task i last night! Full Dream: Wind Propulsion

Portion relevant to TOTM:

I raised my arms and called out in a loud voice, "Wind!" I remembered that the task required not using any active power to fly, but letting the wind pick me up and carry me wherever it might be going. So after summoning the wind, I waited passively but invited it to lift my body in the air. The air picked me right up like I was as weightless as a feather, and I relaxed into it. It was wonderfully pleasant and enjoyable to be buoyed up in this way. Curiously I looked around me, wondering where we might be going. I have the impression of thick flocks of birds darkening in the air in what seemed like abstract geometric patterns.

I recalled that the bonus task also involved mastering the elements, and wondered if I could use this same wind to knock things down on the land below without getting buffeted too much while I was floating in it. I peered down at the trees, which appeared to be somewhere between 50 to 100 feet below me (I'm terrible at estimating vertical distances). They were in full green leaf and showed no sign of being blown about excessively by the wind at its current strength. I thought it would be a shame to knock down such beautiful trees, and before I could convince myself otherwise, I felt the air around me destabilizing and woke up.

Man, it looks like most people are having fun with that wind task. I need to do that.

There was this girl and me Last night but only partly real and we were sorta mixed together and she stuck her hand in my belly and pulled out a yo-yo and threw it away so I reached in her belly and pulled out flowers and smelled them and they smelled like shit so I threw them away and as the dream faded I still had no idea I was dreaming....

No worries, you have done a great job stepping in on short notice!
Yep, as others have said above, bonus gets both silver and gold wings.
So the rewards are:
Basic = silver wings + orange name
Advanced = gold wings + orange name
Bonus = silver wings, gold wings, orange name, and usertitle that says "Completed Bonus Task!!"
All get access to the Lucid Task Club so they can vote for the next month's tasks.

I'm not sure if a third set of wings can be added (I seem to remember there might have been some issue with that but I'm not sure), but here's what I'd like for bonus wings!

Can it really be done? That would be sooooo cool!

Hee Hee! I want some of those! Though, What set of wings do you use for the task of the year?
