Thread: Informal "Dark" Lucid Monthly Tasks?

Well, this month's task, imo, sucks. I didn't even want to do it, but then in my only lucid this month I ended up trying to do it. While I don't have my own, I think some sort of "dark task" would be far more interesting.

You had me at 'zombie apocalypse'

And hey, who says there wouldn't be a prize? Maybe we could work something out...

-Destroy the planet
-psychologically test a dream character with no ethical boundaries
-vivisect a living dream character
-allow yourself to be eaten alive (by wolves, humans, carnivorous locusts, etc)
-allow yourself to be swallowed whole by a giant carnivore and be digested
-make your personal Silent Hill

Exorcize the exorcist girl
Survive an exorcism
Invade a planet
End the World
Sell your soul to the Devil, what will he give you for it?/
Visit Hell and make a deal with the devil
Raise a graveyard
Find a vampire and stake it
Become a vampire, turn a DC
Taste a witch’s brew
Fly on a broom
Visit your favorite horror movie

90% so far...
Motion passed!

God I wish I was a mod.
ANYWAY,
*Possess a DC,
*Eat a DC's head
*Rip off a DC's arms and legs
*Amputate loads of DC's limbs and use them to create a weird, mutant monster thingy.

Dying and being revived by a witch doctor as a zombie.

As long as the task isn't rape, I'm game.

Personally, I'd like to see tasks that involve developing offensive dream powers. Some people have trouble 'defending' themselves in lucids where they're approached hostilely, and having the confidence that comes from knowing how to directly overcome that kind of conflict is tantamount to actually succeeding and pulling off the power correctly.

In one dream, for example, I was with two friends and we had been approached by three strangers who had planned primarily on killing just me. My friends' eyes glazed over, like they were dazed and helpless, so I had to act alone. I flew into the air, shielded my friends, and set the entire field below me on fire. The three strangers didn't last very long.


Here's my suggestion for a dark lucid task of the month: "Summon a large demonic entity. Command it to destroy a skyscraper."
(This practices control over another 'free willed' being and opens up the possibility
of fighting by means of creating other creatures with whatever power you wish them to have.
That in itself may be easier for some people than actually conjuring a power directly, or destroying
the sky scraper by themselves.)

hmm, I also like that planet idea. As for the summoning, why not just let them summon whoever they want, will be much easier than your suggestion of summoning a demonic entity and if LDing is infact being done in the astral plane in a bubble, then this kinda summoning could be problematic in terms of RL. Just some food for thought

I say yes, but wouldn't be that interested in doing them, the reason why I do the ToTM is because these are new to me, so it gives me new experiences to look forward to even if they are silly, and darker ones... well, I do these a lot, so not that much of experiencing, then again experimenting would always come handy with it.

I have to say, this would be awesome. My daydreams are usually pretty dark. I haven't yet achieved the simple task of inducing a lucid dream, but maybe this would give me a little more motivation. Some ideas:

-Summon the legions of Hell and unleash them on the DC's.
-Be Death
-Harness the power of lightning and wreak havoc in one of the world's major cities

I am not going to vote yes or no, as I personally don't care.
The way I see it if you want to do darker tasks I should have no say in it, I might try them occasionally, but as Robot_Butler said "My favorite tasks are those that challenge our sense of self and perception, or involve interaction with dream characters."

Anyway, I am a promoter of everyone being able to do as they please with the exception that it shouldn't directly coincide with the happiness of others, and as I don't see DCs having their own feelings able to be hurt I have nothing against this idea.

This being said, enjoy your tasks! May they bring you happiness, entertainment, and a lowered sense of hostility in real life! =D

- Create a villian persona and go head-to-head against a hoard of superheroes on your quest to enslave the world.

> Dictate a worldwide nuclear war.
> Take on the world with a gun of choice.
> Sabotage a nuclear power plant.
> Poison the world's oceans with mercury [Everyone that eats that fish is going craaazy].
> Re-enact F.E.A.R's Origin explosion, and redeem you're soul by destroying Alma.
>>> Rinse and repeat.

Note: I in no way uphold, condone, or agree with anarchy, death, destruction, and worldwide insanity to fish-eaters.

As long as it doesn't break any morals, I am in. Such as Mudrer with out reason/rape. Inflicting pain for no reason. Starting wars might be fun.
