Found the goose that lays gold-plated eggs Then put on a magical ring that transported me back to the present day (was 100 years in the future after doing bonus TOTM)
Spoiler for The Golden Goose is on the Loose:
Feel paralysis and shaking. A white wall appears next to the bed. I wait for things to stabilise and then stand up and pinch my nose for a long while to convince myself this is a dream.
Through the door is an unfamiliar house and a strange bald headed man approaching. I duck out of another door into a garden. It's time to do a few tasks. The next Christmas task requires a goose. I start searching the garden. Finally a goose runs out from the shrubs into the path. I catch the goose and pet it, talking to it and asking it to lay a golden egg for me. Finally a golden egg drops down behind the goose. The egg is not heavy at all; must be gold plated rather than solid gold.
The other thing I wanted to try tonight was the bonus TOTM. Heading back into the house I shut the doors and draw the curtains over the windows. Out loud I announce that time is passing outside but frozen in here. We will be 100 years in the future. To focus my will I kneel on the ground, pressing the palms of my hands down into the carpet and repeating my intention.
After about half a minute I exit the room via the window. Straight away the difference is apparent. The view is of a city overlooking a bay. The sky is a mixture of deep blue, purple and pink, a beautiful sunrise. The city is full of buildings with sails - windmills spinning lazily in the breeze. Down on the bay are several yachts with white sails. In the sky are small bicycles that also have sails!
I fly around for a bit before spotting some people sitting on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea. Thinking there is a part of the task that requires talking to someone I land and talk to a woman with long dark hair, asking her what she thinks of me travelling to their time. She just laughs, not in a cruel way; happy, as if my question is unexpected. I ask what year it is, and she asks if I mean "in dwarfish". Erm, yeah. She says something in an unusual sounding language.
After the conversation I decide to fly down around the bay. Following the line of the cliffs, there is a secluded beach filled with pools of water. An old man with a staff is standing alone on the beach. Recalling the next Christmas task, I ask him for a magical ring. He hands me what looks like a £2 coin with the middle removed. It is large, so I slide the ring onto my thumb. The world spins.
The ring has taken me back to the present day. I approach a building and see my friend NH sitting by the door. Inside are AB and MR, talking quietly about the day ahead. They are eating breakfast. I walk over to see what food is available, and wake up.
Matthew age 10 has done the first task on playing the drums. He was in his drum class but noticed that his teacher was a pelican!!! Then he knew he was dreaming but he played the drums anyway. He is my son. He says it was a small dream.
My son this morning completes the turtle-dove task:
I am in the garden of my house, playing with a friend
I understand it's a dream because our house has no garden
A turtle comes out of a bush; it's very slow
I touch it with a finger and it starts going faster and then flies up
Soon, many different type of animals fly around the garden: zebras, sheeps and more
Then my powers expire
I'd like to make people fly as well, so I build some wings for them
People fly with wings and stop using vehicles
My son completes the last required task this morning
I am walking in a prairie
I see a tree.
The tree starts talking to me, so I understand it's a dream.
I see it's a pear tree, it tells me it feels lonely.
I pick a pear out of it, plant it on the ground nearby
Another pear tree grows in that place, quickly
The first pear tree thanks me, it's happy in good company now
My son completes the last required task this morning
Wow! That is so skilful. Dreamviews plays a part in preserving the awareness in young people. This is awesome work. Congrats to all involved and most importantly Happy Christmas.

I hope my son is going to keep at this skill in the future...
He might know more already than you think. When he is aware of what it is he will find it easy to keep up. It's great news. We can work on making sure they don't get hurt and are there for them even when they do.
Awesome, congrats to GenghisKhan's butt-kickin' son (according to Wikipedia, "Ögedei Khan") for being the first person to complete the full challenge! Since he's not on the forum, I can't really make him a fancy signature, but I can make this for the proud father:
"Going through life worrying about the little things is like cooking with motor oil instead of cooking oil. Sure, you can still probably pull it off, but it'll leave a bad taste in your mouth in retrospect." - Me, apparently

Thank you, that's great !
I am going to print it and give it to him tomorrow morning !
Non-Lucid Lucid
So I am in a restaurant and some kid is annoying me they just keep coming so I pick them up toss them on their parents table and yell they better not come back, next I am outside and some vengeful kids on bikes are menacing me some are riding across the top of a shed and one aims at me and rides off, I catch his bike by the front wheel and begin to smash him towards the shed his bike pinning him to the wall. Next I am in a car and I see a flashing E on the dash (no speedometer no odometer, just a gas indicator apparently) I am thinking maybe its nearly empty then I see a tiny red dot in the middle of what could be a red fuel bar. I think there is a gas station out on the main road (I am driving thru small side streets) suddenly I see some street workers have torn a 3 foot wide hole in the street and built a barrior in the middle half of the street. I swerve and just graze the corner of the bumper, but figure I can get around it. I get back in the car but now it is more like a go-kart, and now I am up driving on a sidewalk past plants, and some are now sticking thru the frame of the go-kart. I manage to pull out the plants and drive back on the road, but now it is raining just down the street. I suspect I am dreaming, somehow I am standing looking out at a land of rain and running water in the distance and not raining where I am. I know this is a dream. I decide to walk on water since the near portion of the rain part of the dreamscape is only a few inches deep. I jump onto the water and splash right down to the pavement. I decide I must find a pipe, I look around but don't see any I just keep looking left then right, suddenly I notice some trash cans. (strangely the cans had no lids at least the closest one and yet weren't filling with water, then again the water levels in the distance were well above where I was standing but not flowing towards me). I run towards the can and jump up and pulling my hands in I land in the trash can pipe and immediately begin to go downward (I had noticed it appeared to extend into the ground as I was jumping) I slid down into darkness. When I finally stopped sliding it was dark and I couldn't see much of anything and was mostly stuck in the pipe, I strugled a bit and then woke up.
...
I was in a yard and noticed a non-living person, So I told them they were not alive and then to demonstrate more to them that this was so rather then to show that I was in a dream I did a leap test, and leaped high into the air. While up there and falling back down I looked for tall buildings, when I looked back at the building that I had been near, it was suddenly extremely tall like the size of a seven story Viking Hall. I reached the ground and took another leap, but only made the edge of the roof when I lost the dreamscape, I rubbed my hands for about 20 seconds but then just woke up.
Been away on a training course... EDIT: So, yeah, need to do both other tasks tonight. Trust me to leave it til the last minute!
Spoiler for Calling Birds:
I land on the roof of a building. There are trees nearby - devoid of leaves in typical winter style. Birds are calling to each other up there. Making cooing noises I try to draw one of the birds down to my outstretched arm. A bird start hopping down branches. Closer... eventually it hops down onto my arm. I stroke the bird and then transfer it into my cupped hands. It is fluffy like a baby penguin, but looks like a blackbird or similar.
Spoiler for Hen:
Following on from this is the hen task. Still holding the bird, I ask it to help me transform into a hen. It hops down to the ground. To assist the transformation, I squat and start flapping my arms like wings and generally pretending to be a chicken. Looking down I can see orange bird like feet and feathers on my belly. Perfect. The black bird is sitting next to a large nest on the ground, made of twigs. I move into the centre of the nest and strain to lay an egg. It feels like going to the toilet. Moving forwards and turning around, there is now a white egg lying in the nest.
Following this were several failures at trying to find a turtle... At one point I tried to find the neighbour's tortoise to transform it, but it was hiding.
