Task of the month for October 2010

**ninja9578** · 09-26-2010 03:50 PM

Introduction:
This topic is for the Lucid Tasks that are assigned by me or voted on by experienced dreamers. Please attempt one or both of these tasks throughout the month.

Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task, your efforts should make interesting reading! This is required in order to get credit, it is no longer sufficient just to say that you did it.

When you complete a task: go to your control panel, then to permission groups, and request to be in the group that applies to the task that you've done. Of course you still need to post the dream here because I check.

Whoever completes either of these tasks gets the following goodies until the end of the month:

Your name will be displayed in ORANGE in the online members list at the bottom of the main forum page.
You will receive a special title and badge.
You will receive access to the "Lucid Task Club" which is a limited access forum for people that complete the lucid task each month.

Tasks for this month:

Basic Task - Have a text conversation (IM, chat. txt...)

Advanced Task - Watch The Grim Reaper harvest a soul

Oops, on vacation, I forgot to post this yesterday, on vacation

**PercyLucid** · 09-26-2010 11:19 PM

LOL. It's OK xD It is only the 26th anyway.

This will be done before the month ends!

The basic one actually sounds really hard... The logic part of our brain's often off during dreams, making it hard to construct actual words and remember them afterwards. Although I'm not saying it's impossible, because I've written things out before.

**PercyLucid** · 09-27-2010 01:02 AM

More than hard, is tricky, but easy.

We had several dreams were we use computers. I recall dreaming with business related stuff (over the comp) and everything showed up well.

Typing something over IM and getting a reply is enough to succeed.

**MadMonkey** · 09-27-2010 01:04 AM

OMG they both look epic. I will say high to the people on the dream views chat and tell them to do reality checks. Saturday night I was in a lucid and told them them it was a dream on there but didn't stick around to see their response.

The grim reaper might make a nice allie

**PercyLucid** · 09-27-2010 01:06 AM

LOL yeah. I did not want to suggest an idea this month but I told Ninja I though about the reaper thing a few months ago, and she posted it

I am motivated this month, so I might do this really fast.

That's easy, I guess.

The only issue is getting to a computer for me; I almost never come by them in dreams, so I'll have to summon one.

**Hukif** · 09-27-2010 03:51 AM

Ah, I like the basic task! Might read another dream book and then discuss it with someone over internet, either that or make someone in a chat lucid, should be fun.

**Puffin** · 09-27-2010 09:04 PM

Just noticed it says "grime" reaper.

Might want to fix that.

**ninja9578** · 09-27-2010 10:27 PM

PercyLucid changed it, I had written it right.

No, not really, I think I'm still getting used to my new keyboard.

**Hukif** · 09-28-2010 01:30 AM

Hm, this was faster than I expected... and before the right month >.<

Back to sleep.

FA, go out of bed and RC, I was still on the plant world, I was glad to be there. Decided I would do the DV task of the month, so went over to the plant and transformed one of its dead leafs into a laptop, used the laptop to enter a chat, surprisingly, saw Moonbeam in there, or more like, she entered. Our conversation was like this:
“Hi Moonbeam” “Hi puppy” “Puppy… I’m not a puppy though, and there isn’t anyone else in the chat?” “Eh, you didn’t see my other message?” “What other message?” I looked up, and saw it “Walms, I saw an awesome puppy, so now you are one too!” “That message is… weird, so now you are my kitty!” we both laughed on the chat, next thing was “Oh crap, I have to wake up, become lucid in your next dream, OK!?” then left the chat and woke myself up.

**Max ツ** · 09-28-2010 03:22 AM

Whoa. Slow down there, Percy!

Gotta finish this soon, but it might take a few tries to get it right. Two words will make it clear for you guys. D-r-y S-p-e-l-l.

And congrats, Walms!

**Max ツ** · 09-28-2010 03:24 AM

HEY! How did you get to be an administrator, Percy?! I guess it was because of the freakin' non stop DV posting you have been doing lately! Congrats man!!!

um ive been here for 2 years and i still have less posts than both xD

**PercyLucid** · 10-01-2010 08:40 AM

Freaking non stop? I have been super busy lately!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I completed this on time. This is the first month I only complete one instead of both... to bad!!!

30.09.2010

Lucid Chat (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I grabbed a few dreams this night. I am super busy so I did not have time to upload them. I upload this one so it counts for the ToTM. This is the first ToTM I only do the basic, I lost lucidity during the dream.

I was in home and I could not see my cats. I searched for my cats and I could not find them. I realized I was dreaming. I remembered the ToTM so I saw that my computer was on the table, as in waking life.

I opened the computer and I saw the DV chat. It looked kind of odd but I saw it was working fine.
I saw the #DV room and there were a few people. Weird people instead of the regular people.

I wrote something I cannot recall well, but I remember to see in the screen what I wrote. I saw someone replied to my message, so I realized I just had a short IM and completed the basic tast.

I realized I had to see the Death harvesting a soul. I lost lucidity for some reason and I do not remember well what happened.

Missed dream signs:
- None.

Spotted dream signs:
- I had no cats.

Reality check performed:
- None. Turned lucid from DS.

Ninja, you can take care of the wing removal for this month!

**ninja9578** · 10-01-2010 04:15 PM

Have fun everyone

Probably because it hurts him a lot to remove his own beloved wings.

**Mackenzie** · 10-01-2010 06:23 PM

I just remembered that I had a dream a couple of weeks ago where I was IM'ing with a leopard. I'll upload it sunday cause I'm far to drunk now!

Well... I have completed one of them... so I won't be wingless 100%

**Erii** · 10-02-2010 02:48 AM

complex task sounds awesome.

**dakotahnok** · 10-02-2010 04:42 AM

i did both task during a nap. I will upload them tomorrow. And after that... GET BOTH WINGS

**Zhaylin** · 10-02-2010 05:00 AM

Ugh... I NEVER text message or IM lol. I'm a goner already on that one

With all the drugs I've been on for my arm, I've been having some really wild dreams, though and have become lucid a lot. Now's the time to try anything

**TheOneirologist** · 10-02-2010 01:53 PM

For the advanced task...

What if you are the Grim Reaper, and you harvest someone's soul? And if not, what if you watched yourself in third person? (A lot of my lucids have been in third person. A life of video games does that to you.)

**Blacklight** · 10-02-2010 04:50 PM

I've already had dreams about text conversations (but long ago). So here's my favorite one.

I was standing on a cliff. A beautiful river was below me and a city was on the horizon. The mild wind made me feel alive. I got lucid and tried to contact someone. A chat window popped up and several messages popped up. I typed (in my dreams) but all the words came out wrong, jumbled and messed up. I deleted them and repeatedly tried to type them correctly but failed and just sent random letters. The receiver was unimpressed. Me panicking that this all might have been something more then just my imagination woke me up soon after.
