Yes. That's why it's called Lucid task of the month, hehe.

Hey, why did my badges disappear?

Well since I have nothing better to do I guess I can give this a try.

I did the basic task, using the primary colors of light (RGB). I'll write it up if I get confirmation that it will count. Otherwise, I'll just do the advanced task since that kind of restriction is just silly.

We can only give credit once you've provided the details of the dream. You don't have to explain the entire dream at length, just the important parts that involve the task being completed.

I tried to post this once before, but for some reason it didn't post... so I'm trying again. This is the task of the month, advanced task.

Next I wanted to complete the task of the month, which is to ride a unicorn. Stardust is a winged unicorn, so there would be no problem there, and it would be fun! I opened a portal to my inner world, focusing on getting to wherever Stardust happened to be, then I went through into a wide grassy meadow. There was a nice breeze blowing across the tall grass, and Stardust was grazing in the meadow with her wings folded neatly back, the feathers on her wings glistened in the sun, her pure white coat was contrasted by her flaming mane and tail which were literally made of fire, her single horn reflected in many colors and looked razor sharp on the tip. Such a beautiful animal… After briefly admiring her, I walked over to Stardust, she greeted me with a friendly nuzzle, then a bit of a nip, I got the idea she was annoyed at me for not visiting more often. I climbed onto her back and we took to the skies!

Riding on the back of a winged unicorn, or I guess Stardust is a pegasus and a unicorn combined, was a wonderful sensation. Even though her mane looked like flame, it didn't burn me as I leaned forward and held onto Stardust's neck as we flew through the sky, watching the landscape of my dream world below me, the fields, the forests, a town that looked like a pleasant neighborhood… I could see my own house down there, it doesn't look like my waking life house, but somehow I still recognized it. I had just flown by when I realized there was someone outside of my house… I urged Stardust to circle back and I got back just in time to see Walms disappear into the house. Was he looking for me? Good timing, I just happened to be here! I landed in front of the house and dismounted, patting Stardust on her muzzle before I approached the house. I opened the front door of the house, nothing in here is locked since the shield keeps the undesirables out, and I looked around the living room. No sign of Walms. I looked through the house, it isn't very large, so that didn't take me long, but no sign of Walms. Damn… he must have woken up. I could wait for him to come back, but I wasn't sure he would come back, so I thought maybe I had better move on to my next goal.

I'm very much aware of that. However, I'm hesitant to do so until I know using the RGB color system as my source of primary colors is acceptable.

I'm only guessing when I say that ninja intended that the goal be to find actual objects of the different colors, but if you were able to conjure up the colors themselves as an RBG colour wheel or something of that sort I'm sure it'll count. The idea is essentially the same.

Oh no, they're objects. They're just red, green, and blue, as opposed to red, blue, and yellow. The question, really, is are we limited to red, blue, and yellow objects, when other sets of primary colors exist?

Im sure it will be okay if you got items of the other set of primary colors MzzKc. When I do the easy task I am going just summon things of all the colors so that I am sure to have all the primary colors! I beat the advanced task last night but I guess I should post it in my dream journal first.

I did the Advanced task and I just now posted it. You can go to it by clicking HERE.

Attempted the advanced task last night. Got as far as the stables in the back of the house, then woke up. Next time!

First and foremost let me say I am Sorry for this long post!
I finished the two tasks (I think) awhile in the month, but just now posting them i'm an odd one like that lol . I tried to take out some of the irrelevant parts of the dreams to get to the parts with the tasks.

Basic task done on 8/2/10: (task parts in red)
This is the beginning of my 3rd dream of the night I am transitioned in from another dream where I manage to keep myself dreaming after I realize I am dreaming.
The next thing I know I am in 3rd person observer point of view floating in the woods following 4 people dressed like they are in the army. They are being chased by something they can't see but I can. All I see though is the out line of the thing (like in movies with an invisible creature) At this point I get the almighty dream knowledge this is a predator movie I am watching. I find this very boring being lucid, but I do not want to change the dream so I continue to follow the people as I am not really taking part in the dream just watching it while lucid..elapsed due to length of dream here.. Many moons later in the dream I finally snap out of my bordum and remember the ToTMB. I start to look around for something with the colors, but only see the yellow sand. But I get really happy as I remember I am wearing green camo and state this will work for the green object, I then start to think about the red object and deiced it is a necklace I am wearing under my shirt so I pull it out to see a gold/yellow ring on a red ribbon. At this point I am super excited with my self I was able to create the necklace and think about the blue object. I deiced all army members have tattoos and so why can't mine be blue. I sit down and pull up my left pant leg to see two big bright blue tattoos on my leg. Again I am so excited with my self I was able to conger these items and I start to think about what else I can do. However at this point I let my self go with the dream again to some point and I think about having to get to the mall to try to continue a dream from before in the night. Knowing this was just a movie set I use dream logic against its self and say since this is a movie set this trailers there is a mall on the other side of the hill. I walk up the hill and get excited again (it is very rare for me to conger things in my LDs) and run to the mall with some male DC chasing after me..elapsed due to length of dream here.. I run out if the mall all up set at the girls answer and again fully remember I am lucid as I was only 70% lucid while in the mall the male DC is still following me but I come to a T junction and take the right path with running (again I am happy because this is something I can not do in dreams with out floating into the air or other things keeping me from running) after willing the man to no longer be following me I look back and see him take the left in the junction. I run on a little further just to make sure if he turned around I was way ahead of him. After about 1 dream minute I stop and think about the task again and how I did not find a rainbow object just to be clear about completing the task. I stop and look up to see a wooden shade cover thing. All the different slats are painted a different color. I fly up to the top of it and touch each color in turn, red, green, yellow, blue and a rainbow striped one. The rest of the slats are brown or natural wood colors. After touching all the colors I am happy I have completed the task and allow my self to slowly wake up as I am now bored with the dream again and just want to wake up.

Advanced task done on 8/5/10:
I am not sure if this was a WILD or DILD, but the dream starts with me laying in bed (already asleep I think I can not rememeber lol) trying to WILD. I tell my self I want to wake in the meeting room/crossroads and look for someone. (for the life of me I can not remember who I wanted to look for). While telling my self this I have my eyes closed trying to visualize going into the dream. This moves me into a new dream like a WILD does, but will out all the signs of a WILD. I simply open my eyes a few moments later and I am ubber happy with my self because this worked and I am now 100% lucid. I am laying on a bed in a bright yellow room I get off the bed and move to the door of the room (as I am in a bedroom type room like all the WILDs and FAs start)..elapsed due to length of dream here.. I exit the room to see I am now in a office reception type lobby..elapsed due to length of dream here.. I move to the front doors (knowing when I exit them I will be outside and a unicorn will be waiting for me on the other side.) I see they are wooden with yellow frosted glass. When I exit the meeting room I stop and take a few moments to take in the view and be pleased with my self as there is a unicorn waiting for me in a parting space in the parking lot. She is all white with bright light blue hair and horn. While standing there just looking at the unicorn a man pushes past me and begins to get upset the unicorn is there and starts screaming for someone to get rid of her (I guess she was making a lot of noise. Or so the almighty dream knowledge tells me lol). At this point I promptly speak up and tell everyone she is mine and I will be taking her away now. They all say thank god and just disappear and the dream zooms to her making strange noises and rolling around with 6 or 7 unicorn babies. When I walk up to her she tries to run, but I grab a hold of some pink tulle used like reins and stop her. I am now sweet talking her while trying to get fully on her, but before I can get on her like I would a horse she takes off at a fast pace bucking as she goes. Now I am riding her like a cowboy on a bucking bronco trying to stay on. I keep rolling the tulle in my hands until there is no slack left willing her to slow/settle down. At this point she slows down to a trout and I get supper happy because I am now the unicorn like a horse down the city streets...The dream continues but at some point I become only 80% lucid.

Again sorry for the long post thanks for reading it.

Take Care,
D.G.

Yay! I got the basic task. I'm an overachiever, i got more than just the primary colors. I'd like to thank LiveInTheDream for the RC-MILD technique that led to this ld.

Hancock, Me As Will Smith
8/9/10
Somewhere between 1AM - 6AM
Technique: RC-MILD
--------------------------------------
The first part i remember is the part right before becoming lucid. I was Will Smith. I was sitting on a bench next to the road in a large city. I suddenly thought that i was dreaming. For some reason, i felt very sleepy and almost missed the lucidity because of it, but i forced myself to go lucid. I started thinking about a thread i read in a forum that said if you go along with a dream plot you're more likely to lose lucidity. So i put it to the test. I was going to follow the dream plot, but i was going to do it my way. I stuck with the Hancock theme. I stood up and seen five vehicles coming toward me. A few of them were cars and others looked like armored vans. Each one was spray painted a solid color, even the windows and windshield were spray painted . There were a red, yellow, green, blue and black one.



I jumped high into the air and landed right in the middle of the group. When i landed, i punched the ground, causing the pavement to crack and send all of the vehicles flying into the sky. I jumped into the air after them. I kicked one of them out of sight, then punched the yellow out of sight. I then head-butted the black one into the ground. I treated the green one like a soccer ball. I volleyed it into the air twice with my foot and then elbowed it into the ground. When i landed back on the ground, i wadded up the black car like it was made of paper. It was now a 4 foot wad of metal, then i took the red car and stuffed it down into the black car. I saw a tall building in the distance so i picked up my 2 car ball of metal and threw it at the building. It bounced off, so i tried again. The second time, it left a circular hole in the building. The hole went all the way through the building because i could see the sky on the other side. Next i started playing with telekinesis. There were lots of giant odd shapes of sculpted rock floating high in the air. i started pulling them close to me and using telekinesis mashing them together with other floating sculptures. I then heard an ominous voice that sounded like it came from all directions. It said something about me being weak and what i was doing was trivial and childish. I ignored it. I then saw an open square hole in the sky that looked like it might lead somewhere. I started pulling it towards me with telekinesis. The voice then warned me to stop, because i didn't understand what i was messing with. The hole that i was pulling toward me was the abyssal plain. I took that to mean that it was a doorway that led to infinite nothingness. That intrigued me to pull it even closer and ignore what the voice said. As it got closer, i heard a popping sound. After the sound, i didn't have a body anymore. I was nothing more than a floating point of consciousness. I could see and think but nothing else. I'm guessing that my body got suck into the abyssal plain.

The dream did continue on from here, but due to losing my lucidity after losing my dream body and my declined dream recall; i can't remember enough to record anymore of this dream.

Nice going, dark ulquiorra! (forgive my bad puns. )

I was out for a while, everything should be caught up in a little bit. If I missed yours send me a PM.

Physics primary colours are: Green, Blue, Red

Art primary colours are: Yellow, Blue, Red

I'll try this

Managed to summon a gray unicorn to me last night, but it shrank down to the size of a kitten before I could ride it. I thought about shrinking myself, too, but the dream faded. Rrgghh!

woo, i have a wild attempt scheduled tomorrow, if i succeed i'll try for the advanced dream task, should give me something to do since i'm a little stumped on goals at the moment XD.

Thanks, i got the pun.

when the dream started i was playing around in a big monastery with my friend who i really didn't recognize, he hade a shaved haircut and he must have been around 30 years old. we were running around the different levels of the monastery witch was quite run down so many of the stairs and such were missing, witch only made great obstacles for playing around on. after a while my friend fell down to the first floor and i jumped after him. it didn't hurt us in any way so i realized it was some kind of a dream. as soon as i realized this the monastery started to collapse, big chunks of rock and stair and monks where falling down all over the place and i ran out as fast as i could. i ran out through the entrance but as soon as i passed the there was a metal gate that closed behind me and my friend was trapped the whole monastery was about to collapse upon him. And then i realized i could teleport him out of the monastery so i decided to try and teleport him out, it was hard and i didn't think it was going to work but it did. My friend didn't understand what had happened bud he was very greateful anmd he thanked me. we where out on a field so proceeded to fly around at first it was awesome but then it went waaaay to fast and i almost crashed into the mast of a pirate ship witch was stranded in the middle of the field like a beached whale. I flew back to my friend and told him about the situation and that i was dreaming lucidly. He understood and the first thing he tried to do was to start flying, he flew away and seemed to have speed problems aswell. I thought about it alittle and then i suddemly saw thre colours flash in my mind. The task of the month ! so i tried summoning something green and it was a book, i started reading it but it was going to slowly so i super-read it it was like sucking the information out from the book. then i tried something red and i was hungry at the same time so it was a big bowl of pasta and tomato sauce, witch i shared with my friend who had recently landed. when i tried to summon something blue it just wouldnt happen and i got frustrated so i started flying again. it was still way to fast so i enabled a menu of some kind and i pulled a flight speed slider to 50% instead of 150%. It sure made a difference, now i was flying really slowly and it had some kind of an anti-gravity feel to it, witch really was fine and all but it was still hard to controll but not as dangerous as flying waaay to fast. i landed on the pirate ships lookout tower and looked around i saw my friend but nothing else. so i jumped down on the deck and my friend joined me, i wanted to play alittle with my powers so i tried morphing my arm into a armcannon like samus aran has. I failed but not completely, what i now had was an old fashioned Iron and black powder armcannon and it was good enough. I fired a ball at the mast and it made a clean round hole straight through the mast. i fired again and it broke off one side of the hole. the mast didn't fall over and i was getting irritated. my friend morphed his arm into a musket and fired it onto the little piece of mast that was still remaining. It fell and crushed against the ground. I tried morphing my arm into a musket aswell but i only got a tattoo of a musket on my hand when i tried. but it didn't matter because i could still shoot with it. we walked below deck and found a treasure chest and inside were a pair of blue jeans witch i put on as fast as i could because i was naked, we then walked out of the ship through a hole my friend blasted with his arm-musket. there was one more thing i had to do before i left and that was ride a unicorn i thought, so i tried summoning one but i only managed to summon a narwhal witch i mounted and started to ride. i later morphed the narwhal into a unicorn after many failed attempts i finally succeded and then i woke up into another dream where i was in a big livingroom with bunches of weapons on the walls (swords and hammers, flails and such) my little brother and my mom were there but i was frodo from the lord of the rings saga. suddenly a horde of orcs and other tolkien creatures started coming into the room and we started battling against them. my mother grabbed a big plank with gigantic nails sticking out of it and started whacking away i was irritated that she was such a horrible fighter but it didn't bother me that much. my brother grabbed two swords and was doing quite well since he plays alot of sports and is athletic but i couldn't find any waeapon that i preferred. i grabbed a stick and a little knife and started fighting. after a while sauron erupted from the ground like a volcano and started walkign toward me. he stopped and held out his hand, we proceeded to have a tug of war with the ring in the center (the one ring) instead of a rope. i won the tug of war and went over to the fireplace and put it in a spoon and it melted. then i woke up for real this morning with my mother shouting at me to wake up.. i think there was more to the dream but i can't remember it ...

theyeti, if you could just type up the part of your dream that involves the task in detail, that would be great (and in a more readable format too!). I see the part about the narwhal and how you later changed it into a unicorn. Could you describe that part more?

I did the basic task last night. Here is from my dream journal.

I was at my house. I walked into my room and flipped the light switch but the light didn't go on. Gr it makes it harder to stay stable and vivid when Its dark in here. I went to my Lego containers. I have a hell of a lot because I am obsessed with legos. I keep them separated by color in containers. I took out a blue brick, a red brick and a green brick. That would be the primary colors. Well people keep arguing on the forum whether it should be green or yellow so I got out a yellow one just because. There, basic TotM completed! I woke up and again used DEILD.

Also I guess I will say again that I did the Advanced task to because ninja didn't see it or something.

Grah this is probably a false awakening. I picked some pizza up off of my night stand and ate some, this time just because it tastes good. Ya this is a FA I don't even know why this pizza keeps poping up in my dream but it s really good, especially for a thin crust pizza. I went to the hallway and opened it and the stuffed unicorn was no where to be found! I looked down the hall and saw an identical cabinet that shouldn't be there IWL. Oh the other cabinet. I opened it and Zamor the unicorn was there in stuffed animal form. I picked him up and rushed to my family room where there would be room for him. Placed him down and said, "Zamor, transform!" He expanded into a real unicorn now but wait, this time he was slightly pink and his black horn was only two inches long. When I met Zamor he had white fur, a rainbow colored main and a long kick ass looking black horn. It was sort of comical to watch a unicorn throw up but gross at the same time. I started to wake up and knew I had no time for questions. I jumped on and made him take a step forward. A second later I was awake.

Did the advanced task.

I was in my house. I examined my hands carefully and became lucid. I thought of the ToTM and jumped out a window. There was already a unicorn outside so I jumped on it's back. It attemped to throw me off and when that failed it tried to stab me with it's horn. It went charging up a mountain and then it went up on it's hind legs. I fell off and landed at the bottom of the mountain and I lost lucidity.
