Thread: Task of the Month for December 2015

Nice tasks! I guess I'll really blow it up this time! 8)

Most are so easy they're going to be hard to remember but I can see Adv II re-winging me in the near future .....

I really like basic 1, it's a bit meta, which is fun! :-)

I'm also going to keep trying my lucid dare goals (smooch QEII and ask a monk for insight) and personal goals (eat lots of lovely food and non-food items, have a really in-depth conversation with a DC)

SammyTheSnake

Good luck and have fun!

> Ask a DC what a good TotM/TotY would be! (Jellyd0nut)

Sure seems like a good idea .

Well, whatever, on to the cheer!

Task Laugh Phone Shaft!
Task Laugh Phone Shaft!
Blow it up!
Blow it up!
Bis Boom Baa!

Now that I've started getting lucid again this week, I hope to have some nice, shiny wings well in time for Christmas!
You listening, Santa?

I asked a DC what a good TOTM would be.

He thought a good TOTM would be to...

Write something down with a pencil and think about it.

Full dream

I'm wondering if I will be able to get the phone one... They don't ever work for me in non lucid dreams so I'm curious to see if it will work when lucid.

You should have told him what he could do with that pencil Dolphin! lol

The first two look fun. I might try doing both of them on the same DC - ask them for a TOTM suggestion, then laugh in their face after their reply.

If there are any good TOTM suggestions from DC's, could they end up actually being next months TOTM?

Yay so i can keep both my wings :
Completed Basic II and Advanced I, i remembered Bonus but got distracted:

Spoiler for accomplished TOTM´s:

i instantly remember all my tasks for this lucid. i want to do basic II advanced I and bonus. how convenient that i am in a room with some people. i turn to the next guy and start pointing with my finger on him and laugh like crazy. while i do this i look at him and get a short doubt if i should have picked someone else because he looks like someone who dont like to be laughed at and punch you in the face for that. i ignore this thought and laugh even harder. he gets a little angry and tries to slap away my hand but i react too fast and pull it back before he hits me. he seems offended and goes away. i am in really good mood so i pick a chair and say "people hey some attention please" step on the chair and do a frontflip down on the ground. i (too) strongly feel the rotation and think that i had luck it didnt destabilized my dream or did it stabilize it...? some people are laughing some start to talk again. "Hey psht PSHT do you hear this? i think my phone is ringing" i dont feel or hear anything but i look around and suddenly see atleast 3 phones that lie around or are held by people whose display turn on like they where ringing. i just expect that my phone in my pocket will ring to. i put my hand in my pocket, search a little and get it out. its not ringing or vibrating but i see the display is on and in a mix of English and German there is written incoming call. my display looks strange so i have some trouble to take the call. the symbol disappears. [i remember Sensei´s thread which says: dont focus to much on hitting some buttons when you want to write a text but concentrate on the text and let your "fingers" do it on their own.] with this in mind i just put the damn phone to my ear and expect that i picked the call and talk to someone. at the beginning its an automatic machine-voice but after some seconds i hear a guy talking. i seem to talk to "Stratos" a troubleshoot hotline for phone and internet? (maybe because i had some trouble with the phone some seconds earlier?^^) He asks me to start to tell him who i really am. I tell him "Your mama can tell you some authentic data" and i hang up.

Spoiler for remembered bonus:

i remember that i want to blow up the earth. i didnt decided yet if i want to fly into the outer space or try to teleport there. i think about lying down and "fall asleep" for teleportation. i look for the right place (damnit that i always need to find "the perfect spot" for everything...) i go down some stairs and see a couple entangled in eachother. i move my hands in a gesture to split them apart. they hold on to each other but one can see that a force is pulling on them. i think about to pick the guy up and throw him out of the picture but i decide i dont want to be mean and let them be together so i stop. i look down the path i am going and see that it is a long winding path. i ask them if its crowded there at the end and she tells me it depends... i start flying and fly with high speed down the winded path. i am so fast i miss the mark. i stop and paddle back a little. the path changed into some red and blue waterslide. i find it cool and fly with high speed back to the middle of it and sit inside. i start slideing but for some reason i start thinking about my waking body and have a FA

i think bonus i will try again the other two i find not that appealing for me. i will focus on some other goals this month.

BTW: my name is not orange?

yes might be but... We DEMAND (maybe? please?^^) to have a more colorful name



i know very off-topic and i am sorry but dont know how else to contact:

Spoiler for For Lauraw:

Hey i tried to add you as a friend. not because i collect friends or something but i am highly interested to read some of your dj entry's. and maybe to hear a little who you are and if you like to exchange a little but not necessarily. if i am too newbie for you or you feel you have enough "friends" or you dont want to share your experiences at all that is okay. atleast i tried feel free to pm me to tell me your opinion if you dont mind

I probably have your name color because I have not been d-winged yet

running out the door, did both basics last night, details to follow

Laugh: I get up right into my dad's face and in a high pitched voice go "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" for about 10-15 seconds. He seems a bit sad and confused, and when I stop he plops back down in bed, like he's frustrated at the experience.

Task: I ask the girl again, me: "give me a task." she: "invest your cash register, freeze". me: "invest your cash register, freeze?" "invest your cash register, freeze?" I say again to remember it well she: yes.

I can't join the control group again because my previous request from November 30th is still pending.

edit: here's the full DJ: DJ Entry

Crap. I did last months task again..

Spoiler for last months task again:

Completed Lucid Task I
(This is a really bad way to get wings but any port in a storm)
12/05
6:00pm I was flying along a dark street and heard singing at a wedding in a big church so I turned in to see what I could get into (I dont think I was lucid yet) but when I saw a friend that died 20 years ago waiting in a hallway outside of the chapel, (That was the clincher!) We were so happy to see each other I did not tell him he was gone so we just laughed and carried on. He told me they were all waitng in the hall to eat but the congregation was singing too long.
After becoming lucid and thinkiing about it a minute when our reunion had sort of passed I said "While wer'e waiting tell us some jokes"..
(He was famous all over town for bar jokes and stunts and also famous for the deadliest farts around)
He said "Heres a joke for church " and cut loose a loud, reveberating fart that shook the rafters and very foundations of the church and it kept going as he ran into another room, The congregation stopped singing, Everything went silent then the whole congregation began to applaud for him and we in the foyer did the same and I was laughing so hard I almost pooped my pants and ran for the bathroom and just as I sat on the toilet I felt I was in two places, Both here on the toilet in a church and laying in bed at the same time and figured I better not finish the job because I might be too close to awake and wreck myself, Finally I decided to go the awake route and started laughing at the stupid dream again while I was recording it.

I was so certain I did basic I that I had already posted it and went up top to check and it wasn't there

I always a applaud a good fart!

Basic Task 2: Achieved! I was lucid, went into a building and this girl in her underwear appeared to me. For whatever reason, I gave no care that she was half naked and decided to attempt the task. So I started laughing, getting closer to her all the while. Realizing I wasn't maniacal enough, I made my laugh crazier. She backed away, nearly sprinting backwards to try to get away from me. I think she thought I was some crazy killer guy or something.

I almost had Advanced Task 1 done too. Another woman was sitting by a phone as I was doing Basic Task 2, but I was distracted by this one and the phone disappear as soon as I went to use it for the task. Spent the rest of the dream trying to find a phone again.

Wings!?

I´ve tried my last lucids to attempt the bonus task. i thought to teleport to the moon and see and make the world explode from there... i want to practice teleportation so this was a good way to do it:
Here my fails to get to the moon:

Spoiler for Bonus Task Fails:

-i "wake up" and want to DJ. i remember that i want to catch FA and so even that i dont feel like it i do a Nosepinch ..... and get lucid my awareness is pretty high and i want to teleport to the moon because i want to attempt the bonus totm. i try an in dream wild close my eyes and imagine where i want to go. i feel like to exited to fall asleep so i just visualize and open my eyes. i stand on earth but see the moon in really big. but it tries to go down and i push it up with my mind again. Suddenly some comic style frame apear around and i see a browser. i do a "doubleclick" so the picture is maximized again. a Jet cockpit appears around me and i tell myself: why not so you can fly with the jet to the moon. i start flying and it feels like in Battlefield. i have some problems with the gas and the jet is a little falling. i boost up the speed and i fly. the jet changes into a helicopter and i cant fly as high as i would like to. i see a big military helicopter and think when i change into it i might get higher... i get out and get a "mission accomplished" on my way to the next heli i get stuck and start eating mashed potatoes with a friend having a mouse and two mousepads on the table...

-i walk down an alley and i get lucid. i stop infront of a kiosk and there is a table with some food on it. i remember to teleport but first i eat a piece of broccoli. i then spin around with my eyes closed and my arms stretched out. while spinning i hit something with my arm so i pull them a little to me. i start jumping while spinning and feel a little lighter so i open my eyes and find myself in outer space floating around undcontrolled. i see the earth but it is passing by me randomly. i just cant stop. i try hard and slow down a little but still cant stop. i scream STOP! and suddenly i see the sky and a sunrise. the stars passing me by with superspeed so that they blurry and i wake up

-i read a message of an ex. i am in my bed and suddenly she lies next to me. i stand up go to the sink and wash my face and hands. i see two fireplaces in the room and the firealarm is peeping a little around. the peeping raises my awareness and i get lucid. i look into the fire and then to the bed. the girl is gone... i decide to try to teleport again. i close my eyes, look down and visualize the moon. i open my eyes and i look down on blackness. i see a small edge right in my eyesight. i try to move and start falling down into the nothingness. i hear myself? or someone screaming and i wake up

-i transport a big wooden pallet with my roommate. it is unhandy and heavy and i whine around a litte. we enter a building and go down some stairs and suddenly i think "i´m dreaming" and start smiling. i pick up the pallet on my own and tell my roommate that now that i know i am dreaming its no problem to lift it. i go down the stairs and enter a random room. i look around and look at something on the table. i focus on a small detail and try to get it as detailed as possible. i leave the room still looking around. suddenly a phone is ringing and i open the door to the room where the sound is coming from. i see a phone on a table and take it with TK to me. i see a name on the display that i dont know and pick up. there is a guy who wants to speak with the boss. i start beeing mean and sarkastic and tell him that he is not here. he tells me that he was told to call between 9 and 12 and it is important. i tell him that the boss is gone on holidays and that he just dont care... the convo goes on a little longer. while on the phone i leave thru a door and find myself outside. i want to close the door again but suddenly a big muscular guy push the door open. i try to close it but its to late. behind him are like 3 or 4 other persons (male and female) i feel like they want to beat me up or something. atleast the situation gets tense and they push and hold me. i feel uncomfortable and say stop everything gets slower i say again this time louder STOP! and everything freezes. i look to my right thinking about a short range teleportation away from these guys. but in the moment i concentrate on something else the scenery unfreezes again and they stress me out again. i start running away from them. i try to run in superspeed but it dont work. i look behind me and they are just some feet away. i turn around and scream determined: GO AWAY. they start looking around and into the sky and turn around and go. nice i think and keep going but some feet away two women approach me and are agressive too. they try to pull me somewhere and i try to resist. i turn around and bite one of them into the finger. it feels very realistic and i dont want to hurt her really. i feel like just a little more pressure and i bite the finger off. i let go and close my eyes and just want to get away. i imagine to teleport into my bed. i think i wake up my heart is pounding but i lay still and just imagine i teleported to my bed. after some seconds i open my eyes and see myself in my bed. i feel sad that i woke up but still look at my hand. it looks normal but i count my fingers and see there are seven of them... i cant believe it because i really feel awake i do another nosepinch and yea i really am dreaming. i stand up pass a toilet bowl and go into the corridor and try again to teleport to the moon. i spin around and visualize but again knock my hand on something. i stop open the door and give up the attemped. i move outside meet a girl who is following me. we decide do drive away with a car. i let her choose: ferrari or porsche? she says porsche. we move a little and i see a parking lot. i see a yellow ford mustang and find it very attractive. we go there but the door is closed. i start looking around and behind me and into my pocket to find the key but when i look up again she opend the co-driver door and i can open the driver door. i get in and want to fasten my belt i look up and see that i am sitting behind the driver seat.... i unstrap my belt again and go out. in the moment i want to get on the driver seat she sit down there. i just say no baby and lift her up and put her on the seat behind the driver. i cant remember waking up or loosing lucidity?

maybe i should just fly to the moon/ outer space... or do a harakiri and blow myself up with me on the earth but that would be not what i want... i want to see it
lets see month is long enough... maybe i focus on different goals and try this one in some weeks again...

This is the night after I saw it and told gab that I was sure that I would remember this task. It failed, but I remember it. Kind of. Here is a quote from my notepad

Kept trying shabby laughter. Was looking at some big being, black and about bear size and thought okay "shabby laughter" and then thought wth is that and then I didn't do it.

Pretty weird huh.. For some reason I thought I had to produce shabby laughter

Wings have been taken and given. As always, pls make a join request in your Control Panel and post here with words "task x achieved" or something that will make it clear which and what.

Thaaaank you

just out of interest:
Orange name is defect and not possible or just forgotten?

I became lucid in a very interesting place... it looked like some type of sky world like floating mountains from the movie Avatar (or some RPG games). I saw my Dad and was going to laugh in his face but I was like well I haven't done the first tasks yet and laughing in my dad's face even though it's just a DC representation of him just doesn't seem cool . I asked him what a good time of the month was and he said he liked January and April... to which I thought ok that's a good time of the year so let's see how he responds to that question... to which he responded more appropriately will Fall. Really boring answers I know. I should have laughed in his face after that!
