      Task of the Year 2016

      The Challenge:
      This year the theme is all about Mystical Creatures! From transforming into a mighty dragon to facing a terrible Chimera! You got the entire 2016 to accomplish this. Good luck mortal!


      The Rules:
      You must complete each task in a separate lucid dream; you can't do more than one in the same dream.


      And here are the tasks!

      Dragon - Transform into a dragon and destroy an entire village, leaving nothing but flaming rubble.

      Fairy - Find a fairy ring (circle of mushrooms) in a nature setting, step inside, conjure fairies and ask them to tell you their secrets. Report their response.

      Unicorn - Find/conjure a unicorn and do one of two things: Ride it around the dream, skewering at least 2 DCs with its horn, OR, ride it through a portal into a whimsical new world (can't be a normal Earth-like scene)

      Gnome - Dig at the base of a tree until you find a tunnel, then go down and explore until you find a gnome village. Interact with at least 2 gnomes.

      Leprechaun - Find the leprechaun's gold at the end of the rainbow and steal it successfully. Leprechaun must be present and hostile once you touch his gold.

      Phoenix - Burn an item of your choice and conjure a phoenix from the ashes.

      Chimera - Find/conjure a goat, transform it into a full on chimera, and set it loose on some DCs! Have it kill in the following way:
      1. Kill a DC with its power of lightning.
      2. Kill a DC with fire breath.
      3. Kill a DC with the venom of its snake-tail.
      4. Freeze a DC with its icy breath and then, with its paw, smash it into smithereens.




      Good luck:
      Feel free to post any attempts and accomplishments in this thread. Good luck and have fun!

      That started beautifully but then it became disappointing. I'm looking forward to when you complete your destruction

      I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but do we have to complete all of the tasks in order for it to count?

      You dont have do do the tasks in a particular order. The only rule is that you must complete each task in a separate lucid dream thats all

      I was expecting a much better secret.

      Fairy Ring ToTY

      I was at my grandparents house and babysitting a toddler. My mother and her friend told me that they wanted to go swimming somewhere, so I went along. We were going to meet up with Kestrel and Ginger at the pool.

      As I we were riding in the car, two different dreams started happening at once. In the other dream, there was a woman working in a morgue with her partner. She found some shocking evidence about something.

      Back in the original dream, we were about halfway to our destination when we stopped at a bus terminal and got on a flying bus thing. This caused me to become lucid. I continued flying, and imagined with intent that where ever I was flying, I wound find a fairy ring.

      I landed in a suburban neighborhood. It was dark outside. I walked behind someone's house. They had a big backyard full of trees. Right on the edge of the forest line was a fairy ring.

      I sat down inside the fairy ring and mentally called out for the fairies. Instead, toilet paper rose up from the earth. Ugh. That's not what I meant.

      "Need some help?" A DC man walked over to me, "what are you trying to do?"

      "Just summoning some fairies."

      "Well you'll need two people for that," he announced. Whatever, if this helps my subconscious summon the fairies, then I'll do it. He walked inside the fairy ring and sat down across from me. We took hands and mentally called for the fairies.

      The mushrooms around us began to glow and shimmer in the night time darkness. They were glowing all sorts of different colors, like Christmas tree lights. Eventually, the little colorful firefly-like fairies rose from the earth. I couldn't see their individual make up. They were like multicolored fireflies buzzing around us.

      I thought about how to go about asking them what their secret was. I didn't want to sound like a creep and just flat out ask, what are your secrets?, but then I remembered that I'm a total creep anyways so this wasn't going to change anything.

      "What are your secrets?" I whispered to them.

      In one unified voice, they responded, "toilet paper."

      I should have known.

      Tried the dragon task again... failed in the first one, but then finished it off in the following WILD. There were no distracting blonde bombshells this time.

      I remembered the fairy task, but thought it was to become one in my dream. I found them flying outside my window, called one over, and then began to eat it. I thought it'd transform me into a fairy if consumed. So that was a big fail I guess. Stupid dream memory.

      [Shrugs] Not the most challenging tasks--more month-worthy--in mine opinion, but I'll get them done, assuming I have less dry spells than last year. Now that I've graduated and am done with school (for the time being), I should have less distractions plaguing mine dreams.

      I attempted the Dragon task and failed yet again. I'm curious though, does Godzilla count as a dragon?

      After some weird tree hugging - quite literally, dream logic - I flew about until I found a skyscraper. Then I turned into a dragon/Godzilla hybrid. I looked mostly like Godzilla, but had these really long claws like a dragon. I tore down a couple floors of the building before the dream ended. It was kind of fun actually.

      Ooops seem to be the only person posting here...

      Anyways, a failure for the Chimera task to share - I summoned a Chimera, but on reading the task it requires you to find a goat and transform it, which was the bit missed out...

      My first successful TOTY! Full dream here: The Birth and Rebirth of a Phoenix.

      My dream entries tend to be really long and I went through a lot of steps in this task (despite its superficial simplicity!), so I'll break it down into more manageable pieces. First, I decided which task to attempt and what method to use:
      Spoiler for Choosing a gem and setting it aflame:


      Next, I discovered that I had succeeded! But my baby phoenix needed help:
      Spoiler for Nurturing the baby phoenix by the fire:


      Then I couldn't remember if I had completed all the parts of the the task—I was mixing it up with the chimera TOTY, which involves battling DCs—so to play it safe, I thought I'd better take my new phoenix outside and fight something:
      Spoiler for Going outside to look for a fight:


      The fight proceeds and the poor phoenix is killed... but the handy thing about a phoenix is that they are never dead for long!

      Gnome task for me as well! Full dream here: Tunnel to Gnome Village

      I was initially looking for the fairy mushrooms, but the dream environment appeared better suited for the gnome task so I changed my mind and started digging:
      Spoiler for Digging a tunnel:


      I wandered through some corridors and read gnome graffiti before finding the gnomes themselves:
      Spoiler for Interesting graffiti:


      Being overly pedantic, I spent my entire encounter with the gnomes taking verbal notes on the details of their dress and appearance:

      On a roll this month! I'm recovering from an exceptionally long dry spell—pretty much the whole second half of last year—but now that my dream abilities are returning, somehow I'm finding it easier than before to accomplish complex tasks.

      I anticipated that I might hesitate to perform the more violent actions specified in some of the TOTYs (it's odd that I have no problem enjoying video game violence, but dreaming feels different), and sure enough, once I was in dragon form I couldn't quite bring myself to destroy a residential village, so I substituted a factory instead. It was village-like in that it was a cluster of buildings, but with fewer potential victims. I'll leave it up to you guys to decide if this qualifies!

      Full dream here: The Reluctant Dragon

      Portion relevant to TOTY:
