Thread: Task of the month for July 2009

If you don't mind me asking.. what happened to the badges for Tasks of the Month? I'm making a little Task-of-the-Month tracker in my online DJ (like Clairity's) and having some for this month would be great.

This month's advanced task looks great. I haven't done a task in a while, but I'm really going to try this month. Exploding sounds like a blast

I love how you bounced back together, Iadr. And Yoshi, I like how you and your friend ended up as ghosts. I can't wait!

Yay i did it!

I was on my house and for some reason i discovered i was lucid. Them i was teleported to a white room with nothing. I spinned and tried to teleport to the city, but appeared in a museum with a giant window that leads to the streets. So i runned and jumped that window, and saw that was a HUGE drop. I said "this will not hurt" and worked, i've hit the ground, making a giant hole . i jumped throught the cars, trying to explode them so i can complete the task, but nothing. I saw some guy from my school and his girlfriend. I don't know why but i messed with them. The girl wanted sex with me, but i need to complete the task. So now i flew around and summoned the Demoman.( http://www.ubercharged.net/wp-conten...man_salute.jpg ) I continued flying. I tried to fly in super speed, but no sucess. Then i saw tombs flying (hahaha) and accidentally broke one because i didn't know how to stop flying. Then i stopped flying on the place the Demoman was, and couldn't find him. Then he appeared, and i said: "Hey Demoman, can you use your sticky bombs to explode me? He said yes. I said "well, use the stickys that don't hurt."
He said ok. He placed 8 stickys on the ground, then i asked "But you added only 1 that don't hurt" He said "The black ones doesn't hurt because i can disable them if something happens (this doesn't make sense)" "uhh, ok" i said. Then a countdown started. I woke up after the explosion so i don't know what happened :/


lol ^^

I am definately going to attempt this goal.
I really cant wait to explode!!!!

It sounds sooooo fun.

Nicely done sir

oh you need to complete both tasks to get the orange name, i thought it's only one

Had a lucid just now.

Was at a mall with a food court so I ordered. I said 'Can I get a hotdog or a hamburger?'

Girl gave me a hotdog (for free!). I ate it in about two bites, it didn't really taste like anything.

Then I try to explode. I didn't really have full commitment, it kind of scared me cause i didn't know what would happen.

So I concentrate on exploding and my body starts spreading out like I'm in that torture chamber device that stretches your limbs out. It hurts.
And I start screaming really loud aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh and my body feels weird.

I didn't like that feeling so I didn't try to explode again.

Next time I will try to eat some dynamite or something.

No, if you complete either you get the orange name, and access to the secret forum.
Just wait a little while, be patient.

This sounds like fun!

But I am still learning the basics of lucid dreaming, but will have a go at the Basic Task of eating a hot dog or hamburger. It very much depends on my remembering to eat a hamburger!

Advance task of the month attempt

I'm on a laptop at my house and D,D, and J are there. Its weird because I don't initially realize that I'm at my house until I look for something to drink. I go through my old cabinets, and think about the fact that D is here. He never hangs out at my house so it's go time. I walked back into the living room, and jumped up, and floated down, and then I leaned backwards, and floated to the kitchen. My pops was there, and I was asking him if there was a hand grenade in the fridge, and I don't remember what he said. I started looking through this bag of stuff and imagining a grenade in my head. Nothing.....I tried it again, and felt something. It was a small old school pineapple grenade!

I grabbed it, and moved it towards my mouth. Once it was close, I pulled the pin and held down the--arg! cant think of the word, but it's the thing that keeps the grenade from exploding after the pin is removed--and started to swallow it. It got about half way down my throat, and was wedged in there. I closed my mouth and waited for the explosion. After a few seconds, it blew up, and I barely noticed it. I opened my mouth and black smoke came out.

Me too :S How long does it usually take? It's been five days since I gained access to the club, just not the name color. (Sorry for the impatience..)

omg i have it now

I finally attempted the task of the month

After some scary hypnagogic hallucinations, I entered the dream almost immediately knowing that I needed to try and complete the basic task of the month:

Spoiler for Dream:

I jerk to a sitting position in bed, eyes open. This world has a different feel to it...I've done it! I reality check to reaffirm what I already know, I have successfully passed into a lucid dream. This is by far the most 'real' dream I've ever had. I gaze around my room and appreciate how my mind has perfected every detail of this space. I jump out of bed and run to the stairs, with full knowledge of what I want to accomplish. As I descend, I hold out my hand with the task of the month in mind. Though I imagine a hamburger, nothing appears.

Sadly, I failed at creating a hamburger and tried to obtain a dream guide(to tell me where to get one). I failed in this also and eventually ended up on DV chat, where an anonymous member gave me a tip:

Spoiler for Dream:

[Does anyone at least know how I can get a hamburger?]

[check the fridge]
[lol]

I was about to take their advice, when my family showed up and ruined everything:

Spoiler for Dream:

Suddenly my whole family comes through the doorways entering into the kitchen, there noise causing me mental unrest. 'What are you doing on the computer so early in the morning?' scolds my father, at which I mumble an incoherent reply. I try and ignore them the best I can and I walk over to the fridge. Before I can open it my mother taps my shoulder. 'Remind me to go to the store today - we're all out of burgers.'

Needless to say, I am disappointed...but the dream was cool, so I'm fine :3

I can't wait to try again!

You can find the whole dream here, or in the link to my dream journal in my signature.

Ouch! That must have been really frustrating

Only people who complain get an orange name?

LoL, seems that way eh?

I did the advanced task.

Spoiler for DJ Excerpt:

The best part is I gained lucidity doing it. Sweet, finally, a legit DILD. I stabilized for a moment, rubbing my hands, before deciding to get right on the Task of the Month. I had it all planned out, I was going to activate the Self Destruct power from CoH. I "clicked" on the power (this is really abstract and hard to explain) and started through the animations. The red 10, 9, 8, started counting down over my head. I crossed my arms and hunched over, there was no electricity shooting off my body like in the game animation, but when the countdown hit 0 I released. It was one of the weirdest and coolest sensations ever. I could feel the blast engulfing and vaporizing my pursuers and the classmates around me. I saw pixelated specks of red and puffs of orange as my body became nothingness. I was gone and so were many of the things around me. I floated like that for a moment, in that serene state, before reconstructing my body.

Wow. It really seems that people's willingness to do the task really helps them do it. There are a lot this month. More tasks like this, please!

Attempt #1: Didn't go so well.

I went up to a black guy with an ice cream. I told him I would kill him if he didn't give me a hot dog. He said he didn't have one. I went up to a car. When I saw that everyone in the car was eating bacon, I flew into a rage. I punched the car as hard as I could. It hurt my hand. I calmed down, and decided to fly. I jumped maybe 5-6 feet. I turned upside down. I hit my head on the ground. It hurt my head. I woke up.

The next lucid I have, I'll probably manage the hot dog one. Making myself explode will be a lot harder. I have to do both to get into the special board, right?

Nope.. just one.

.

Lol, reading everyone's replies is funny and inspiring.

If I managed to remember the Advanced Task, I was thinking I'd explode like Peter Petrelli in Heroes (closeup vid).

As it is, I'll probably try the Basic. I'm motivated to eat in my dreams 'cause I love food.

I'll at least try to get this done, it's been too long since I actively tried doing one of these... As a random sidenote, I exploded in a non-lucid dream a few nights ago, so I guess you could say I have experience for future endeavors

Racist bastard.
