Thread: Task of the month for November 2010

I'll work on this tonight! I'm new here but ive been LDing for awhile so im not technically 'new '

I'll definitely try the advanced task.
I've been having less lucids recently which will make it harder, but..

Yes, I got the basic task! Here is the section from my journal from this morning.

Upon not being able to see my reflection in the mirror, I became lucid. I began to move around, trying to align my reflection in the mirror with no success. A DC is standing behind me, asking me if I was dreaming, over and over and over again. I think about trying to put my hand through the mirror, but am quite distracted by my DC. Becoming quite annoyed at the DC, I turn around to tell him to shut up. The moment I turn, he looks away from me. I wave my hand in the air, as if I was waving goodbye and the DC begins to melt into a puddle on the floor. I yell at the melting DC, “Thank you for melting into nothing, you annoying mother-f***er. You just aided me in completing one of my short-term dream goals.” The DC stares at me with a frightened expression while he melts away into a smoldering puddle on the floor.

That's a nice thing to be thankful for!

These were voted as best? Riding a giant turkey or something would have even been better xD

Oh well, advanced is kind of cool.

Wow I wish I wou;d have read this last night. I told a DC that I was thankful to have her as a friend but I didnt know about the task.... oh and also it was in a non-lucid portion of a dream that seemed really long.

anderj101 you are winged!

Good job!

So I couldn't figure out a way to make it more interesting, but I did the basic task last night anyway. Here is some of the dream:

There are windows just below the peak of the roof that are triangular. I fly in through them and hover up by the ceiling. The room looks like our main room, but the ceiling is much higher-maybe thirty feet. There is an iron chandelier I grab onto. I remember someone saying they like to do back flips in lucid dreams, so I flip backward. The room spins and I land on my ass. I try it again, jumping up to the height of the chandelier. I flip backwards and am amazed at how realistic it feels. I land on my ass again. There are two people in the room with me, cheering me on. I try a few more times and get better each time until I land on my feet. There is a girl with dark blond hair sitting on a futon playing a guitar. There is another girl on a couch across from her. I wonder what to do next. This is a good long dream. Of course! Find Creechilka! (my giant eagle) I open the door to go outside. Then I think I might as well do the ToTM. So I turn back to the two girls. I say,"You know what I'm thankful for? I'm thankful I live in such a beautiful place." And, since it seems to be the expected thing to say, I add,"and that I have good friends like you." Even though I knew I didn't know who the girls were. But they seem pleased.

Winged!

I am running away, skipping steps ..jumping staircases. Don't know what I'm running from but I don't stop to look back I just keep going. I finally reach the last staircase and there is just a wall at the end of it. I look back and the stairs have disappeared. I look forward and a window appears, so I decide to jump out of it and fly away. I go through it as it as if it was never there. I start to fly forgetting that I was running away from something. I decide to just keep going and as I do I start to realize ...I'm flying ... I'm dreaming. So I stop in mid air and realize I am hovering over an ocean. I look straight and see mountains so I fly to them. I quickly remember my dream task that I've been thinking of before I went to sleep. The mountains become clear to me, they are the mountains from the banner. I start to feel like I'm about to awaken and I start to spin and look up. The clouds started to spin with me. I felt the wind, and the mountains became large willow trees and a field of grass with tulips and butterflies.I felt one with the realm around me so I thanked myself for I created this beautiful realm of imagination.

I can only grant you the advanced task. Good job!

Basic task is not approved: "Tell a DC something you are thankful for" Yourself does not count

These are fun to read

This was my 1st attempt at any "Task" & one of my 1st lucid dreams (although the lucid part did not last long).

This part of my dream started with me on a motorcycle, fighting Chinese dagger throwing men in traffic. There was one on a motorcycle next to me & I swung my leg out and leaned the 'cycle over to kick him, but lost control & laid it down. My dream rewound & I kicked him again, this time without falling over. A Chinese dagger throwing man was leaning out the window of a car ahead of me, forcing me to dodge behind other cars. The dream transitioned to me on foot, running through a mall or subway with stairs & railings. Dagger men started appearing almost everywhere & as I fought them off, a couple of Caucasian guys appeared & they were fighting me too. I had some kind of shield or bag in my hand & used it to smash the white guys on the head. I used it to block the knives that were thrown at me. Eventually there were quite a few dagger men & a big fat guy with bigger knives appeared. He wasn't going to throw them at me & wanted to cut me up. I started getting worried that I wasn't going to be able to handle all of it & I would die. I started to think... "What would happen if I die?" then I realized, it didn't matter, this was a dream! At that moment a great calm came over me & I decided I'd let them kill me to see what would happen. Then, in a flash I remembered the Task of the Month & said to all of them, "Thank you for fighting me." Instantly they vanished into smoke or fog, except for one (for some reason). Since I was now completely lucid, I figured I'd better touch something to try to ground myself in the dream. I reached behind me for a metal railing... & woke up!

I completed the lucid task on November 5th
Ok so it was night time and I became lucid right away and I saw an ocean and I decided to fly over it and it was beautiful, after that I went back and there were like business men walking and I was yelling "everyone! I'm dreaming! You guys are in my dream" and they were like "yeah, whatever, sure I'm in your dream" like being sarcastic and then I was like "I'm thankful for having a lucid dream. See I just completed a task of the month" then they were fettig angry at me and felt scared so I went off and explored other parts of where I was at, then I woke up.

Good job you two!!

You are winged!

Hey all,

Been a bit of a dryspell regarding recall and lucidity recently, but managed to get the basic task done this night, the dream is here.

Unclean Boxing Match, seeking education in sleep cycles, summoning Vader for a duel - Dream Journals - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource

Shouldn't be any reason I couldn't do the advanced, but technology failed me a bit this night, but will be sure to try it out again should I be lucky enough to have another lucid =)

Good job!

This exercises usually are dry-spell breaker.

Aye it would seem so, had another lucid after going back to bed, albeit a lucid with next to no control and rather disgusting... and since I was sort of forced to go with the plot... well... It was still a lucid wasn't it =P

I completed the basic task last month. I would have done it sooner if I hadn't also been in a dry spell. Here is the part of my dream that I completed it in.

I went into the hallway and turned on the light and then the lights in my family room. I was happy that I was finaly lucid again. I got a bowl of grapes I saw on the kitchen table to help stay stable. I knew I had to do the task of the month and wasn't sure who I should tell what I am thankfull for. My parrents were the closest so I went in their room . I went over to my mom and woke her up. She told me to go back to sleep and was really grumpy. I asked her if she wanted to know what I was thankful for and she said no. I decided it would be better to tell my dad so I went over to his side. He asked me why I was awake and I asked him if he wanted to know what I was thankful for. He said sure and thankfuly wasn't grumpy like my DC mom.

I said "I am thankfull for the great life God has given me..." I paused for a second, thinking about what else to say "and all the great things I can do in it."

You can also read the full dream in my dream journal http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/madm...given-me-9334/ or in my shared dreaming student work book.

I read this post a few days ago and thought it to be a lot easier than most of the monthly task.

Last night I had a DILD that went as follows: Sitting on the couch with my one of my beagles, we start to play tug-a-war with a raccoon toy he plays with a lot. About 1 minute later I see the same beagle (I have 3) walk through he living room and into the kitchen. I think nothing of it and continue messing with my dog. Not to long after the first incident, I see a black lab walking through my house, I have never owned a black lab. I have some burst of awareness, I say to myself, this is odd, I might be dreaming. A nose plug RC confirms it, I stabalize my dream by touching things in my house, observing the amazingly realistic scenery. I walk into my parent's room to find my mother folding cloths. I always love messing with DC's in my LD's. I start a conversation with her about thanksgiving and our up coming plans. All of a sudden I remember the monthly task to tell a DC what your thankful for. I ask my mother(DC) what she is most thankful for, she humorously replied "My iPad." I start laughing. I tell her "I am thankful for the ability to live inside of my mind every once and a while." I get a reply back of her saying "True power lies in your head son, never forget that." I am now very excited because, for one, I have had a decent LD so far, and two, I got my monthly task done Skipping a few unnecessary parts here---> I love flying in my LD's, I go outside and begin to hover around, feeling very unstable I land and try to fly again. My flying was terrible, I has almost no control of where I wanted to go. Only moments later I woke up, very happy with the DILD I had just had.

Winged!

Good job!

Yay beagles!

The dream starts off with me walking down this open field at night with no one around me. I am walking on grass, and I can see a bunch of stuff in the distance, but I have this feeling like I know exactly where I am going. I keep walking for about a minute and eventually find myself sitting on a porch with Dean, William and an old man. I look over at Dean and he is lying down on some stairs, and I think that's typical for Dean, who would normally come over to my house and just sleep on my couch.

Will, the old man and I are talking about some important topic I can't specifically recall right now. Suddenly there is this loud noise to the right and it's this truck that is trying to back into it's logical space. It's making a lot of noise and it has to go through a long, drawn out procedure of getting through this tiny space in order to park. It pulls forward, and shifts positions and goes back. It's hard to explain but the entire process takes about 2 minutes to complete. After it's done I l walk over and see that the truck has compacted to the size of a normal car, and I think that is really weird how it all happened.

When I go back to talk to Will, I recognize him as an HSfriend (friend from high school) and immediately I become lucid! I tell him that I am lucid and that I have full control over my dream and I can do whatever I want right now. He sits and just looks at me silently. I then tell him that I have always looked up to him and that I think he is really cool. He says "whoa." I don't know what else to say so I walk past him and find another of my high school friends, Sean. He walks up to me and says "I love you, man" and gives me a big hug. I say "I love you too dude, thank you." When we are hugging, I close my eyes and things go black, which causes me to start to lose lucidity. I remember that I can spin around, so I start to spin but my brain sort of comes back into my body and I can feel my body spinning in a dream while my body is remaining still on the bed. It feels really weird because I have the sensation that I'm spinning in the bed while I'm not moving at all.

Nice job on the lucid, and a cute one, but you did not meet the Task of the Month requirements, unfortunately.

You were close though!! Each time you try to fall asleep, specially in the middle of the night, try to recall this scenery, it will help you to become lucid. If so, do not forget to say to him you are very thankful of having him as a friend... then Percy or Ninja will reward you with a pair (or two) of wings
