Wings, plz! 3rd day now after post (filed permissions group request, too)
Whoa, they just appeared, thanks!

Well I actually did this right on the first but had not gotten around to posting. I was able to do the smelling one. It wasn't very cool but did it none the less.

Spoiler for Dream:

I thought of a task of the month and remembered the smelling one. I found a drawer inside the house and started to rummage through it. There was a lot of junk in it and I was looking for something that would smell. I ran across something that I thought would work but kept digging. I think ran across a grape lollipop and thought hey that should smell. I got it unwrapped it and took a big whiff, it was grapey but not as strong as I had though, I then put it in my mouth to taste and really didn’t taste like much either.

Full dream here.

That's what you get for wearing clothes in dreams in the first place

What a week: after two nights of too-late-to-bed and reduced recall I got the picture and got t bed mostly on time last night and got my first ever advanced TOTM:

I'm lucid in an all-blue half-lit empty home: call for a girl but no one comes, walking through house remember to stabilize (haven't done that in quite a while), rub hands and generate a lot of heat, remember my lucid goal phrase, decide to do advanced (I), go outside its slightly lighter, still rubbing hands, start to lose visuals, ignore this, there are very tall blue curving walls, I hold out my arms straight t each side and call out "Wind! Take me away". Instantly I'm sucked into the sky at high speed and shout WooHoo! I see in the distance hills covered with what seem to be billboards or signs, very brightly lit. I'm not controlling direction or height, just going with where it blows me. I end up near very tall skyscrapers each one themed about something, approach fr landing and wake up

I did another in-dream WILD going from a crying girl to a false awakening to an odd astronaut and rocket in a residence scene. I also did the smell task again and tried for the first time to find the monster under my bed but that one was at the end of my REM and I ran out of time. (gab: nothing to do, I'm already winged from earlier in month).

FM is having a great streak! Congrats my friend!

Smell Task Fail..

5/22
5:00pm After I ate ramens for a snack I thought about a nap..
Almost instantly I found a denim bag moving up a hillside and followed it opening it looking for something to smell for a task, The the first thing I pulled out was a pair of denim shorts and as I pulled farther they contained the butt and legs of a girl and then the whole girl appeared and the shorts turned into a skirt on the girl with no underpants and I smelled up there and she smelled great but I thought that likely isn't what they had in mind, Now I was obsessed with following the bag looking for something else to smell and as I fished out various items of clothing and stuff as the bag kept moving uphill toward where I knew I would wake up when it reached the top,
Then I was awake wondering WTF, That was the dumbest thing I ever done...

I doubt that this qualifies as completing the task for befriending the monster under you bed, as I didn't even realize that it was the pokemon (pocket monster) figurine was the monster or even actively tried to befriend it.

Oh well, I may as well post it even as a failure. Lucid 18 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Now that my mail notifications work again I can do better....

Was having a nld it was around 5 am I woke up and realised I must put my mind more into LD mode so started imagining myself coming Lucid by looking at my hand s and then saying I am dreaming - then I wanted to remember where my body was in bed and say my name out loud and some other names I have that friends call me coz I have been reading the great thread started by Sageouse about memory ( which I really like and am still reading as there is sooo much more to LDreaming as everyone keeps saying on that thread!)

Anyway this time I forgot all that and remembered I wanted to try for the task of the month when Ny told me about it in last message. So I wanted to smell and taste a lovely ripe pear - so I did !

I was going along in my NL and feeling quite perky I started to engage with some of the DC around me, flirting, so I started getting the feeling of Lucidity in that way I think ... So I came to the end of a row of DC and I saw a deep dark pool of water - just from one second to the next I knew I had to dive into the water to get Lucid/ so I jumped - it was very dark and deep so didn't feel that great but suddenly I knew this was a dream and remembered my goal. I imagined a pear floating towards me and took hold of it and smelt it- yes it smelt like a pear - I bit into it - yes it tasted yummy like a pear - I woke up soon after this as the water was not that enjoyable ; dark, murky etc.

Lucidity was not vast - I noticed my dreaming space was quite small - I could not see far around me - it will be great to see far and wide one of these Lucid Dream day/Nights

So I think that means I have done a totm!? If so its my first

Woohoo Patience!! Congrats on your first TOTM

Patience!! Congrats on your first TOTM! Keep up the great work!!

Hi all. I have been caught up in other things and have not played TOTM in awhile. I decided to give it a go. I know the month is almost over, but that is fine, I can get wings for a couple days, lol.

Completed the bonus task,

uuurghhh not a single good lucid this month so far and no time to get my dreams on DV. I'm a failure this month. Hopefully next month will be a lot betteR (I won't have 8 hours of class a day plus homework lol)

EDIT: Also, I just realized that next month is my one-year on DV anniversary! Time sure flies, wow. That will make it a great month I think ;3

I realised I should probably do my own TotM suggestion, advanced task ii, before the month was up.
Here it is: dream journal.

I saw a beanbag on the floor nearby and thought that would be a comfy place to try to "WILD". I lay down and closed my eyes, and almost instantly felt myself waking up.

I could feel my dog resting against my legs and everything felt very real, I was convinced I'd really woken up. I did a nose plug RC to be sure, and a small amount of air escaped. I added my second hand to plug any gaps, and I could still breathe through my nose.
I was surprised and excited that I was still dreaming! I walked outside the house and launched into the air.

I find that I, too, must give more attention to nose plug recently. Instead of free-flowing air completely disconnected from my nose [how it used to feel], it is like as you said, like just a bit of air is escaping. I have to concentrate to really pinch firmly, and to give the RC my full attention.

Great job avatars, the element benders... but as you well know, time cannot be bent (or can it....?) but while we figure out, this thread ceases to exist and a new one will reincarnate!

Everybody should head now to June's ToTM

Congrats RXC!! Just keep the wings until the dewinging tomorrow.

Hola!
Just figured how to post... This is for May basic TOTM... I managed to smell the earth last week...(tried to post it on May thread but couldn't for some reason). Probably mixed the element task with the smell one hehe.

You couldn't post because it was closed due the end of the month, but I moved it here for you.

Good luck for June's task!
