Thread: Task of the Year for 2011

Ouch

Had an amazing-ass time COMPLETING the Gone With the Wind TOTY. I'll post later. I also visited the Dream World Academy!

Here is my task completion!

Failed at Jaws two nights ago I was already by a lake when I became lucid so Jaws was the natural decision, but I woke up or forgot the task before I completed it...

Aiming for Star Wars. It seems really simple.

And just why would I open the ark of the covenant?
That's like suicide, but worse.... with facial melting.

Only if you expect it to melt your face, or maybe you really are an enemy of God's chosen people?

Shit, I think I'm on a dry spell. Not to worry, I'll recover. But anyway, I did a failed RC two nights ago, I had six fingers on one hand, but for some unGodly reason I thought that was perfectly normal! I woke up and was like: WHAT THE FUCK?!

Completed 1/12 tasks

I was walking in an aquarium looking at all the different fish. I saw a shark swimming towards the glass I was looking in and it started slamming the glass. It started to crack and I ran down a hallway in the aquarium away from the cracking glass.

I saw someone pinching their nose in the hallway and I thought that was really weird. I remembered reading a thread about seeing people doing RCs in real life. I stopped running and did a nose pinch RC myself, believing I could breath through my nose. I could breath!

I was dreaming! I stabilized the dream. I tried to think of what I wanted to do. I wanted to go to the shared dreaming experiment but I just couldn't think of the name of the pyramid. Whenever I tried to go there it shot me back into the aquarium.

I decided to complete one of the tasks in the Task of the Year (Which I memorized) I wanted to steal Dorthy's red slippers. I broke the aqurium glass and swam up expecting to appear on the yellow brick road. I got out of the water and climbed onto the road.

I saw Dorthy and tin man in the distance skipping down the road and I ran towards them. I took over tin man's brain and made him shove the slippers off Dorthy. I made him hand them to me. I tapped them 3 times and said "There's no place like home"

Suddenly colors started spinning around me and I was swimming in a lake of.....pencils? I grabbed a pencil and examined it closer. The words on the pencil were gibberish but they were in the design of a wave.

It started to rain and the yellow color of the pencils started to wash off. The rain felt very cold and wet and woke me up.

I was in a small Japanese town in the middle of a valley. I was dripping with water and people were staring at me. One of them had a glove on the looked like Freddy Kruger.

Instantly, this reminded me of the TOTY. I ran past the crowd, and into a house I just knew was Freddy's. I kicked down the door and saw him standing their. I shot ice out of my hands, and he was frozen.

I found a knife and cut a hole in the ice where his glove was. I could see him squirming around and I yanked the glove off. I shot fire at the ice and it melted.

Instantly, he started running at me and had a terrible look on his face. I jumped onto the roof, and the whole world flipped upside down. He charged at me, and I stabbed him with the glove. He disappeared and turned into dust. I picked up the dust and put it into a jar I saw. I brought it outside and handed it to a crowd of cheering people.

Then I heard a noise behind me. I turned to look and freddy was RIGHT there. I was really shocked and then he stabbed me. I gasped and, the worst possible thing happened.....

If you want to read my whole dream go here.

Wohoo! Did the Star Wars TOTY! I've done 9/12 now!

I went to see what the problem was. Then, I became lucid without dream signs! Yeah! I fly high up and land on a skyscraper. I see that the demon InuYasha is about to fire a giant-ass missile that'll destroy Earth. What the fuck? Screw him, I now remember I have to do the Star Wars TOTY. I look up in the sky and see the Death Star. I get in a fighting stance as I keep my eye on it.
"Kamehameha!" I shout. I fire a large blue ki beam at the Death Star, and it is obliterated. Hell yeah! Time to handle InuYasha I guess. I look down at him, but then I have a series of false awakenings. Then, I awake for real.

I was in the ocean, which reminded me of the TOTY To kill jaws.

I wanted to waterbend again so I willed the water to start circling around me and then shoot me up. Right when I shot up into the air I made the water freeze, so I could have a platform to stand on.

I willed jaws to come and bang into the platform. The ice cracked. I looked down and saw a HUGE set of teeth with blood dripping on it.

I made ice shards come out of my hand and shot them directly into Jaw's mouth. More blood. I decided to use earthbending and make the ocean floor rise up below Jaws and trap him in an earth cage.

The color of the earth looked a little off. It was a greenish-brown. Jaws struggled to get free of the cage, when I had the most amazing idea ever.

I noticed the moon up in the sky and made it come racing down to Earth slamming into Jaws. I saw jaw's head go flying in one direction, while his body went flying in another. I got slammed back and started flying through the air, I was surprised I hadn't lost lucidity.

Everything went black, and I opened my eyes. I was still in the dream! Everything was yellow, and I was standing on an island. I could see bananas everywhere.

I grabbed one and tasted it. It was soft and...sour. Not like a real banana. Kind of tasted like ice cream. I walked along the beach looking for any DC, but I woke up.

Casablanca: Done. Looking back it would have made more sense to do the Jaws one since the dream started at the ocean, but I forgot that was one. DJ Entry

His face was all blurry, like somebody would do to a video trying to hide their identity. I figured i might as well jump right into it and ask him to play me a song. He sighed and turned around. I was quite intrigued as to what song he was going to play, but i was surprised when he started to play Billy Joel's "Piano Man." I guess it makes sense. Heck, a line in the song is "Play me a song, you're the piano man..." It sounded just like the real deal only he didn't have the harmonica (i like that part ) I looked around and all the people in the club got up and started dancing, and some even acted out the song. I found this quite funny as the few who acted it out really seemed like they felt how the song went.

Completed 4/12 tasks

My WILD succeeded.

I was at the party I wanted to be in. Everthing looked old. I looked around for Sam, and saw him playing on a triangular piano!

I started walking towards him when I was stopped by a girl in a ninja suit. "The modern hat of the century is awaiting your order, sir." she told me.

"Yes, they are but I have to do one thing first."

I quickly walked away towards Sam, and asked him to thing a song that best describes me. I pretended to know what she was talking about. I heard some drums coming from his piano, and it sounded really good.

Suddenly everybody gasps and I started to hear: "I whip my hair back and forth! I whip my hair back and forth! I whip my hair back and forth!"

I started to laugh and decided to do something else and started ti do some other things that I won't go into detail .

This morning was awesome. I got 3, count 'em, 3 TotYs done all in one long DIELD chain totalling to 5 total, seperate LDs. I did 300, Jaws, and the Godfather one, quite epic : DJ Entry

300:

I thought about how i should make this epic, so I yelled out, "Epic music please!" and, surprisingly, it worked! There was some sort of battle music going on, which I've been searching youtube for and have yet to find anything Still, there was an epic battle going on in front of me, and i jumped into it. The moves seem to flow out of me, without any effort at all. I was out in front surrounded by persians, I felt invincible. At one point a dozen persians charged me at once, I jumped up, and decided to try something new, telekenesis. I waved my hand in a motion so that they would fall into the sea, but it didn't work (I should work on that). Instead i used something i already knew, fire. I burned a whole group of them and used the fire to push them into the sea. A little different but it worked . Finally, i decided to just wreck the persians. I tol all the spartans to stand back, which they reluctantly did, and i conjured up an absolutely MASSIVE fire wave! And when I say massive, I mean the width of the entire pass, and probably a mile tall. It took a lot of energy and was hard to hold up, but I just pushed it out towards the persians.

Jaws: (Did this one just like in the movie

I grabbed a scuba tank that was lying on the back of the boat and threw it at the shark. I wanted to hurry it up since i could feel the dream fading. "Not now, I'm almost done!" I yelled. I grabbed the gun and shot the scuba tank. It didn't blow up. I was pissed, and just decided to explode the shark. The dream was almost completely gone but i was still there, and I just yelled at the shark, "Blow up you bastard!" And he did! The shark disappeared and i could finally sigh a sigh of relief knowing that i didn't waste the dream.

Godfather: This one was a little sketchy, turns out it was his son's wedding, and he made me wake up

"Well then," I said, "Can you grant me longer lucids? You know, so I don't wake up early like i almost did last dream." I could see him start to crack a smile, and eventually a grin, and then start to laugh. I was confused, so i asked him what was so funny. He told me, "You imbicile, this is not the day of my daughter's wedding, but the day of my son's wedding!" "Wait," i said, "then you don't grant favors?" "No, no," he said, "I ask others for favors on my sons wedding."

Yes! 10/12 tasks done! Here's Grease:


NOTE: Here I am! I now have 10/12 tasks done! I was so happy to break my 17 day dryspell. This has been one of my top three worst dryspells since I joined DV.

Lucidity: 3

Vividness: 3

Here I am...a slave. A prisoner. Trapped. Hopeless. Doomed to be slaved forever. Working for these worthless bastards. The work is harsh, as well as the Sun. Having a family to manage(I don't actually manage a family in real life though) doesn't make it any easier. With low food supply and too many hours of work, a family isn't easy to manage by yourself. I'm sick of all this bullshit now. I have decided to make plans to escape with my family and get to safety...away from this hellish place. A man comes to the home I'm slaved at, and he gives me $700 to give to the female owner. He leaves, but I go upstairs to my room with the money. I hide it in my clothes drawer. I have a surprisingly good room for a slave though. However, a man comes to inspect my room. He finds the money, and man is he pissed. I sure ain't no indentured servant, so I shouldn't have any money! This man decides to snitch away to the house owner. But, I now suddenly become lucid! Oh bitch I time this shit just fine! I run up to the window now. I appear to be in my brother's room now at my real life home. Um...okay. So, I now jumped through the window, and I drop two stories onto the parking lot. Aha! I know what I need to do! The Grease TOTY! I now use the turn around method to summon myself a black Mustang, and Greased Lightning. John Travolta(I think his character's name was Danny though...) is sitting in Greased Lightning, ready to race. I now get into my Mustang. Now, we begin the race. I am easily speeding past that piece of shit he calls a race car. Our race progresses for quite sometime, but the dream began to become a lot more vivid. I do recall winning though. But just barely. I soon awake.

Nicely done, awesom dream btw.

Well thank you. I hit a bad dryspell this month. One of my top 3 worst. A soon as I became lucid...I said...let's get this done. No screwing around anymore. I can't fail the TOTY! I then I did it. I was so happy yesterday.

I've got 11/12 done now! I told you I wasn't gonna fool around any more!

NOTE: My eleventh task of the year! One more and I'm done! I'm so excited! I'm way ahead of schedule too!

Lucidity: 4

Vividness: 1

I dreamed that I was just leaving a battle. There had been many explosions, killings, and so on. I was full of mud at this point. I now take off my jacket as I walk towards a house. I drop my jacket and yell. My jacket was infested with all sorts of gross bugs. I rush away, and leave my jacket behind. I now see a kid from my Spanish 2 class who always calls me "Spence." I decide to annoy him by shooting him with dummy rounds. So, I take out my iPod 4, and I go to my iGun Pro app. I choose a cool sniper rifle(every gun I saw I don't even have on that app) from the app. I clicked on it, and it was now in my hands(damn, I wish that app could do that!). I now look through the scope and aim at him. I fire two dummy rounds, of which one misses, and the other hits him in the chest.
"What the hell?" he says. He looks around, and he sees me standing there with the rifle. He gets up, and begins to charge at me. "Spence! You're dead!" Not my brightest idea...
I now begin to run towards the house, and I get inside. I rush upstairs, and I open the gun app again. This time I pull out a gun I actually do have on it in real life. I go downstairs, and I go outside. I see he has an iPod as well. He summons a LAW rocket launcher9another gun not on the app)! Holy shit! I dive, as he fires a REAL rocket at me. I swiftly dodge, and half the house goes up in flames! Damn! I run out an alternate exit, and now I'm suddenly in a dark city. There're many brick buildings, and even a brick street. Many people are outside walking and socializing. This is weird. But now, I suddenly become lucid! Yes! I begin to walk around, until I meet up with this girl...and we hang out for a bit. But I soon remember that I have to do the task of the year! Oh shit! I want to do the Indiana Jones one, but in my dream, I can't remember it! Motherfucker! Then, I recall the one other task I still need to do! The Exorcist task! So, I now leave the girl, and I head down a dark road, until I reach the right house. I enter and I go to the room where the exorcism is happening. I see one priest in here saying a prayer. I grab the thingy that has Holy Water in it. I begin to shake it over the person. There, I did it! Now, the person starts to go insane. It's actually freaking me out. Okay, time to leave. I try to fly through the ceiling, but I can't. I begin to blast away the ceiling with ki, and then I fly away. I'm hundreds of feet above the house now, and I suddenly see the roof be magically restored. Okay, that's just fucking creepy. I fly away, and land back in town. I decide to hang out some more. I then soon awake.

Very cool! ^^

I just joined DV. I hope I can get all these done before the end of the year.

Kinda the same as Zalak; just joined, and I hope to be able to complete these challenges before the end of the year. Dunno if I will, though; looot of stuff.

Awesomeness!

I was wandering through a carrot farm, when I saw Dorothy. I asked. "Can I have those slippers?" "No," She replied. So I used magic to steal them. I levitated them to my hand. I then put them on and tapped them thrice. I landed on a metal sphere in the middle of space. Scare crows were flying around me. I felt uberly powerful.

Say, for number one, does it count if we become Dorothy and use the shoes?

Just wondering.

Task of the Year: Nightmare On Elm Street
I am in high school, walking down one of the hallways with lockers on both sides of the hall. I am looking for my own locker, and I can't remember where the locker is, but I know I am late heading to my next class. I am getting frustrated with finding my locker and feeling rather stupid… but finally I find it. Great… now I can't remember the combination. I take a hair pin from the floor and start trying to pick the lock to my own locker. It opens and I see my books on the bottom, and there is a kid that looks to be about 8 years old impaled on the coat hanger on the back of the locker. And he is still alive, he is weakly trying to get down, blood coming from his mouth in strangled gasps… A gloved hand explodes through the boy's chest, there are knives on the glove like in Nightmare On Elm Street. The boy's body is broken in half and pulled through a hole in the back of the locker. I look through the hole and see something on the other side, a figure that has some resemblance to Freddy Krueger, but is even uglier and more disgusting… he is eating the flesh off of the boy's arm. He looks up at me and snarls in a horrible grin. Thoughts of Freddy Krueger lead to thoughts of dream demons and thoughts of dreaming… I can fight this guy… this is my dream! I move closer to the hole in the locker and Freddy reaches through to grab hold of me. I grab his hand before he can stab me with the knives and I will not let go, I twist it in a martial arts move and flip him over. The glove comes off in my hands, he glares at me and the dream shifts.

I am now at what looks like a mining site of some kind, I am still holding Freddy Krueger's glove in my hands, but now I see that I am not alone. There are a couple of men there with me, they are getting really close and hot and heavy with each other. They are kissing very passionately and feeling each other up… then they see me and cool it a bit. One of them, a black guy, says the two of them are ready to come out of the closet. Where did Freddy Krueger go? I don't care if these guys are gay or not… I want to find that dream demon. Well, I don't have long to wait. The ground starts to rumble and shake and then a huge worm / snake thing with the face of Freddy Krueger erupts from the ground and bites on to the black guy.

The other guy, a white guy, screams no over and over again, jumping up and down in place like a scared little girl. I still have Freddy's glove… I use the glove and sink the knives into the neck of the worm thing, making it roar in anger and pain and spit the guy out. He is covered in brown goop but seems unharmed. The guy's boyfriend hugs him and now they are both covered in goop. I am focused more on Freddy. He is trying to maneuver around and bite me, but the knives of the glove are imbedded in the thing's neck and I am holding on to that. So his moving around succeeds only in cutting him deeper. I focus on the song Damage Inc. by Metallica to send fire energy right through the glove and into the worm creature. The thing erupts into flames from the inside out and is gone in a blaze of fire which somehow doesn't burn me. I look to see if the two men are alive and they are making love on the ground… naked… covered in goop… yuck… not something I want to see so I wake up.
