Task of the Month for August 2011

**Vesterguard** · 08-05-2011 12:30 PM

Got the basic down, had some issues with portals to the factory, but that might help when I have watched the dvd so I have a better picture of where to go and more experience with portals.

TotM, Portal Attempts, metal transformations - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

I stopped the DC singing as Happy Birthday was boring and it isn't my birthday.

**Flying Spaghetti Monster** · 08-05-2011 03:30 PM

i'm going to try do at least one of these, i can see them both being hilarious

**INeverWakeUp** · 08-06-2011 04:21 AM

Sweet! I'll have a concert in Willy Wonka's factory! That way I'll do both tasks. I'll be lead guitar...so, the singer will be singing to everyone! Including me! Oh which song?! I know! "Promise" by Simple Plan will be good.

**Aeolar** · 08-06-2011 03:51 PM

Good jobs everyone!

Concert in the chocolate factory eh? I might try that. I kinda wanna try the stadium first. Okay, maybe second. Haha.

Awesome

**jarrhead** · 08-07-2011 03:36 PM

I didn't even think about these goals the other night. I was so focused on shapeshifting into optimus prime, transforming into an F22 raptor, etc.

I think we have a new task for the "expert" section! haha.

EDIT: Not saying I would ever be able to do it again though.. lol.

**thebeastofold** · 08-07-2011 07:27 PM

the Willy Wonka one will be fun..i used to dream about his factory when i was a kid! the singing one might be a challenge....ive sung inmy dreams but never been sung too...i'm up for the challenge!

**Din** · 08-07-2011 08:53 PM

~~Do I get to nuke the factory?~~

WAIT I MEAN-

Humor aside, I definitely love these tasks. Admittedly, I probably don't have enough experience to infiltrate the factory, but that basic one looks like it might be a good personal goal.

(God, I'm going to love the stories that come out of this one.

Did these tasks in my usual deranged fashion, I'll put my DJ entry up here when I've written it up. Going to have to 'clean up' a few things for the public xD

Oh the shame....but on the plus side, completed Augusts 'Lucid Tasks'

- Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

If you look at my most recent dream, I didn't clean up ANYTHING. It's funner that way.

That was.... umm... interesting, but good job for getting them both done in one dream

**Texture** · 08-08-2011 06:33 PM

AHHHH YES!! Basic task is so easy! One of my dream signs is guitar, this shouldn't be too hard.
I've had willy wonka in my dreams (Not this month) but its always the Johnny Depp one :/ he's just weird, the original is creeeeepy

**ashraen** · 08-08-2011 07:52 PM

Completed the Basic Task last night.. the song was definitely not one I would have expected

Here is the excerpt from my DJ entry where I completed the task:

I went back into the living room, and then I remembered (finally!) the basic TOTM to ask a DC to sing to me. My mom was still there so I asked her to sing, but she seemed to not know what to sing, and in the end started singing something I had never heard. It was gibberish, and I thought 'I'll never be able to remember the tune or any of these words, I don't know if I'll get credit for TOTM'

So I went BACK to the back bedroom (my parents') and my sis was there this time. I asked her to sing to me, so she turned on the stereo and began to sing along with the song that was playing.. it was a song I haven't heard in 10+ years.. 'Waterfalls' by TLC (don't go chasin waterfalls / please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to / I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all / but I think you're moving too fast..) I sang along with her and we danced like nerds for a bit.

Here is the full journal Entry: First successful WILD! + TOTM + 2 False Awakenings (also lucid)

**INeverWakeUp** · 08-10-2011 02:33 AM

Oh damn it all. Had a lucid last night but it was vivid and short. I'm putting a lot on myself though. I've still got three TOTY to do, while trying to do both TOTM for this month.

What do you mean a DC?

It's good that you're still in charge of the totm.

**fOrceez** · 08-10-2011 06:00 PM

Shall definitely try this tonight. :3

**monsa199a** · 08-10-2011 08:05 PM

thanks a lot for your response!...I think I just did the basic...I need to make up time to post my LDs.

**monsa199a** · 08-10-2011 08:53 PM

so there I am, in some kind of street, at night; I see a tall woman trying to do something...I Don't know what! I realized that I'm dreaming and I ran towards her, taking her right hand quickly, then I tell her "just do it!". We seemed to be in roller skates and We start dancing to some kind of music there are no lirics just a LA,LA,LA... but there's a lot of rhythm to it! and we dace freely and follow each other steps and moves. She has dark skin, curly hair and she's very slim. Then I looked arround us and we are in some kind of amphitheater and people is gathering, we stop damcing and A very elegant lady on a red dress and red sexy lips says: "This is going to be tonight's show" I feel very emotional and the dream starts to vanish...I try to look at my hands or relax; but it's too late...I wake up.

**Emiko** · 08-11-2011 05:21 AM

I completed the basic task last night! Here's the relevant portion of my latest DJ entry.

A little further along the path, just beyond the small tree, is a large, square, paved area, in front of the entrance to a building. A woman is standing in this area, alone. She’s older and has wispy brown hair, which she wears up in a loose bun. She has lines and wrinkles on her face, and has a patch of shiny, lavender-pink eyeshadow all over the center of her face. She’s wearing a long dress the same color as the eyeshadow.

I suddenly recall the current Task of the Month [which I had just looked up, just before going to bed]. I approach the woman. In the distance, behind me, I can hear all the teenagers and young adults who are attending the conference/camp singing together:

“Day-oh, day-oh. Da-a-ay-oh, da-a-ay-oh. Daylight come and me wanna go home.”

I sing along with the young people as they begin the next repetition of this segment of music: “Day-oh.” As I sing, I look right at the older woman, expecting her to sing along, too.

“Day-oh,” she mumbles softly, looking down shyly at the ground to my left.

“Da-a-ay-oh,” I sing to her, still looking at her and expecting her to sing along.

“Da-a-ay-oh,” she mumbles, still looking down. I figure that she simply lacks confidence in her singing voice and encourage her by saying enthusiastically to her, “Come on, you can do it!”

“Daylight come and me wanna go home,” she sings, now looking up and demonstrating self-confidence. She proves to have a beautiful singing voice.

Pleased, I continue singing along with the young people, who have been singing the song all this time. The older woman continues singing along as well. “Come, Mr. Tally-Man, tally me banana. Daylight come and me wanna go home.”

Somewhere in the midst of those two lines, the dream faded and I woke up, probably because I was so excited about having completed the Task of the Month for the first time since February.

**StonedApe** · 08-11-2011 05:59 PM

I did the basic task this morning.

Dream
Lucid
Task

I was driving to Madison's house. I remember this funny part where I was on the highway and the genie from I dream of genie showed up in front of my car as an apparition and tried to sell me the first season of her show on DVD. I thought to my self, Oh no you don't, I'm not listening to this crap, and drove through her.

I stopped at a gas station. They had a bunch of food, I don't have much to eat in the house right now and they had low prices so I got excited and looked around. I picked up some pita, and when I went to put it back the shelf was gone. I thought, "this must be a dream" and did some RCs. I tried to put my finger through my hand but I was really shaky. It still worked but I wanted to be sure so I flicked on and off a couple light switches. I wound up in the basement. When I turned around there was a girl a few years younger than me with no panties on standing there. Then her bra did this weird thing, kind of flapping around and off and flew away like it was a bat or something. I asked her to sing me a song. So blew a raspberry and shook her head and made this weird noise. I held her hand and looked her in the eye and said please. She said OK. She sang this very simple melody(do re mi do re mi do re mi so, ti do re ti do re do re mi so...) The words were somehow even simpler, Violin violin violin song, Violin violin violin song. I woke up while she was singing.

Yeah I agree.
