I'll try the OZ and the Psycho for tonight,let you know how it goes,kENY
I just broke my lucid dry spell last night and I'm going to start these tasks today.
Other than killing the shark, it all seems easy, maybe will do it.
Just did the slippers one, and the damn things woke me up! On the third tap i woke up im my bed :pissed:
Dream Journal
So, it is a movie, based on a book, based on a ancient greek story: O_oQuote:
300 is not a remake of The 300 Spartans. It is a movie version of the graphic novel 300 by Frank Miller.
That said, great task of the year. Good choices for the movies all around.
Casablanca done! Task part in blue.
The dream starts with someone explaining something about 'offside-shootings'. I am watching a document, and my view shifts into it. I am now walking with a camera in my hand, filming a man that steals a car. He throws a dog that was in the car off the car, somehow the dog ends up in a big rubbish bin. I go to the bin and film the dog. It looks sadly at my. I start backing up. An old woman appears and helps the dog off the rubbish bin. I walk for a while. A police officer has stopped the car thief.
I walk to the car. "You already seem to have several cars so I guess it's okay if I confiscate your car", the officer says to the thief. "Sure, I'll just take my stuff", the thief answers. He takes a packet from the car. The commentator says that theres a gun in the packet. I and the police officer get in the car. I look at the thief. He is curling his fingers like he would be pulling the trigger of the gun.
We drive off. The police officer asks if I want to drive (or then I asked if I could drive). Anyway I agree. I am now driving the car (I don't have a driving license), though the wheel is on the right side of the car (like in the UK). I see a police car. "That will lead us to the police station", I say to the police officer and follow the car. It turns to someone's yard. I state that the car doesn't lead us to the police station after all. I drive for a while and almost hit several children.
We arrive to an intersection. I push the brake and manage to stop in time. I start turning to right but remember that the police station is to the left. I drive for a while and realize that the police officer doesn't know I don't have a driving license. I realize that it doesn't matter because I'm dreaming. I consider telling the officer that I don't have a license, just to annoy her but then I decide to do the task of the year. I also consider driving around for a while, but decide to do the task now because the dream has already continued for quite a while.
I teleport off the car, to the bar. I decide that because Casablanca is black and white, the dream should also be. So when people start forming around me, everything is black and white. The teleporting worsened the dream's quality, but luckily I still am in deep sleep. I see Sam and ask him to play something for me. He starts playing a jazz piece I've never heard before. At the same time I see the sheet music in front of me. After he has finished the piece, a woman arrives. Shortly after this the dream ends.
Damn, these sound like amazing tasks, but because I'm not old enough I haven't watched many of these movies. :( I may try the Oz one.
These are brilliant. This'll be a lot of fun to do. :)
I went and did a part of the 2010 task this morning, forgetting it was already 2011! I think I'll have to make a new signature too...
Funny, I just had a dream about Wizard of Oz 2-3 nights ago. It was lucid, but nothing close to the described task, so it won't count - and it was incidental anyway. I'll try again. I've seen all of those movies!
Still no luck.
Nutsack! I had an LD last night too and didn't try for the task.
I'm officially puting all my focus into this. I wan't the satisfaction of doing something very few people actually do :)
Huh. My little brother is reading about Spartans in school so I'm going to watch The 300 Spartans with him. Hopefully it will inspire me to get the task done. I'm still working on WILDing but I think I'll be able to do the tasks this year.
I did another one! At this rate I'll have it done by the end of february. Pretty fun, did Indiana Jones this time. Since I had never seen the movie, I found the ark in a pyramid XD Here's the excerpt from my DJ:
Full entry: Dream JournalQuote:
I decided that i had enough with things falling on me, falling on things, and setting off booby traps, and just jumped over to the ark. A pretty fun experience since the ark was like 30 feet away. I pushed the huge top over and peered inside. It was hard to see, but i could make out a rectangular shape. I grabbed it and it was a thick book, about the width of a christian bible. I opened it up and just saw a bunch of nonsense. It was like a mix of all the languages. I saw some fmailiar japanese shaped, some things that looked like arabic, latin, and russian. I waved my hand over it and said out lout, "In english, please!" And so, it changed to english. I can't remember quite what it said (sucks, right?) But it was something like, "Religion is a hoax, the truth is yet to be revealed" or something like that.
Cool tasks. I've only seen a few of these, though. I kinda wish you'd included Titanic, because I love Leonardo DiCaprio!
No Inception task??????
No, classic movies only.
Aww, lol it just seemed fitting :P
I may be closer to actually becoming lucid at least once this year... So yeah.. I'll work on this..
^An Inception task could be good for totm, I think.
E: I have a vague memory of a man with a knife from last night, and also about becoming lucid in a bathroom, but I probably didn't get the task (Psycho) done.
Got one! :)

14.01.2011Killing Freddy Kruger (DILD)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
I think going to bed so wasted killed any chance of dreams during the night, but when I went back to bed again in early morning they were more vivid than ever.
I woke up in my friend Hugh's house. It was a dark, late winter afternoon, and there was loads of melting snow outside. I went to the window and stretched. Something felt a bit off, perhaps it was the snow looking like clouds, or the fact that I'd woken up there at all. I checked my hand just in case. The hand itself looked solid enough, but on closer inspection it had exactly seven fingers.
I was surprised to say the least. I genuinely thought I'd been awake. My thoughts were as clear as they ever are when I'm awake, and the dream itself was totally stable. I opened the window and climbed out onto the ledge, before dropping to the ground. I landed on some crunchy wet snow. Rather than waste my time, I decided to do part of the task of the year. I really wanted to take on the Persian army with the 300 Spartans, but I didn't feel up to the necessary change in setting. Instead, I turned to face the house and thought about Freddy Krueger. I'd had a couple of dreams about him before, but never lucid enough to take him on. I turned back around.

Freddy was charging at me across a field with his claws raised above his head. The most bizzare thing was that a sizable crowd of young children were running with him. I wasn't expecting that, and for a few seconds I just stared at the scene, half laughing. As he got closer to me, I helf up my hand and tried to telekinetically grab him, but it didn't work. Now he was close, he actually looked a bit scary. Nobody could look good in that skin. He swung his finger-blades down on me, cutting the side of my face. But at the same time I grabbed his arm and locked it in position under mine. I wrestled off the glove and kicked Freddy away. While he was temporarily incapacitated I put the glove on. It fitted my hand exactly. It ended up just feeeling like I had blades for fingers, they were very sturdy. Freddy got up and ran at me again, making a "screamy/gurgling" noise. I thrust my bladed fingers up through his chest, which ended up going through the base of his skull. A quick tug, and his head came off. It was stuck to the blades, so I shook the whole glove off.
This led into another dream I now barely remember, in which I tried to save a town from an alien infestation.
Poor poor Freddy :(:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
That is one ToTY I am not going to complete.
