Thread: Task of the Month for October 2011

I completed both tasks much earlier than I thought I would. I think I finally discovered mine perfect method for physical transformation. Anyhow, the lucid portion is highlighted in blue, the basic task in green, the advanced task in purple.

Dream Log Entry, Date 9.28.2011


I spent a good deal of time in a place which strongly resembled the cafeteria of my old elementary school. I was six years old again. Accompanying me in the facility was a large number of fellow children, some of whom I recognized as old bullies and acquaintances. I was generally maltreated by everybody throughout this portion of the dream.
At some point, I ended up outside. It was nighttime, and the light of the street lamps reflected almost clearly off the surface of the damp, empty parking lot. In this moment, I spontaneously became lucid.
Immediately remembering the Dream Views monthly task, I clenched both of my hands into fists, held them close to my chest, and focused all my attention on my dream body. Once I had a clear image of the god Poseidon in my mind, I released my focus, sending a minor earthquake throughout mine surroundings. In the reflection of the damp ground’s surface, I saw my body abruptly morph into a bearded merman holding a trident.
With the advanced task complete, I turned mine attention to a nearby gas station bearing a sheep-like symbol. Near the sheep symbol were the bold white letters “B-A-A.” I hovered toward the cashier booth (I had to hover, as I could not walk with my newly gained fish tail), tapped the door of the booth thrice with my golden trident, and said “trick or treat.” I was surprised to hear my voice sound like that of an elderly man. The door’s flap opened, and a hand swiftly tossed out a small, clear plastic container bearing a frozen blue liquid. I consumed the liquid to find that it tasted very much the same as frozen tap water.
With both tasks complete, I spent the rest of the dream trying to contact my subconscious with little success.

I guess it's about time I visited that Van Gogh house, I've been planning on doing it for years.


Nice advanced task.

Well, not one of my favorite dreams, but got the tasks done.

I become Zeus within a dream and went Trick or Treat (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was going with Ana in a car trip. She was going to drive as I felt very tired. It was getting dark, so I got comfortable in my car and tried to fall asleep.

I found myself in a small town and realized that since I went to sleep in the car, I was dreaming (funny, accepting the reality of a dream, but not realized I went to sleep in a dream) I was in front of a big mountain. Such mountain was filled by houses and stores. I took a small flight to make my dream crystal clear and immediately recalled the ToTM.

I thought about transforming again into God Phoenix, but I realized that was a Roman God and not a Greek one. I decided to aim for Zeus. I started to visualize lighting bolts sparkling within my hands. Soon, I started to grow. My arms and chest became very muscular and I grew up in size. I suddenly had a huge lighting bolt in my hand. A voice told me I was Zeus and I owned the Master Bolt.








I figured with the basic done, I needed a costumer, but again, as it was a dream, I really did not care about it. I flew to one of the homes on the mountain and knocked the door requested trick or treat.
A kid opened the door and gave me a small purple ball. I tasted it. It was like strawberries.

With both task done, I decided to try to project, but suddenly I felt my dream body moving abruptly.

I woke up in the car. We had an accident and the dream turned third person. My parents where there and they were talking with my wife. She was freaking out due the accident. I tried to ask her what happened, but she was too nervous to talk.
A little after, I woke up for real.

Have fun everybody!

Challenge accepted!

I was going to aim for Zeus as well, but now I'm thinking Hades would be a lot of fun... let's see how that goes.
Good luck everyone!

Don't think I'll be doing this, Trick or treating is an american thing, and we don't really do it in australia.
The god things, would take to much effort, and it's not something I'd like to do, I have other goals. If it was an easy task that I could do quickly in my lucid, I would.
I do actually plan on eating something actually, so I guess I might incorperate trick or treating into that.

Completed!!!

Spoiler for Completed Advanced and Basic Task:

I just took a hour and a half nap, and became lucid!

I was walking in a large, cold grocery store in the middle of the fruit section. I was holding an orange that was the size of a watermelon. I was debating whether or not it was good enough to buy.

A girl came up to me and tapped me on the shoulder. "That orange right there is begging for you to buy it. Why don't you put that orange down, and buy that one?" I looked at the orange she was talking about, and it started moving around.

The thought that this might be a dream randomly crossed my thoughts. How did I get here? I asked myself. I remembered falling asleep for a nap, and did a reality check to confirm I was dreaming. I was!

I cleared my mind, and stabilized my dream. My first thought was to do the Task of the Month!

I decided I wanted to do the advanced task first, and turn into Poseidon. I wanted to be underwater to do that, of course!

I planned to walk through a wall, and on the other side would be the ocean! I saw a blank wall across from me, and back up. I ran at full speed at it, and BAM! I was in the ocean. I wanted to transform into Poseidon, and I figured the best way to do that was to find him and melt into his body.

I turned around and expected him to be there. He was there towering over me looking ANGRY. "YOU DO NOT TAKE MY PLACE AS A GOD!" He yelled.

I ran towards him, jumped and melted into his body. I could feel myself in his body now, controlling him. I was him. Well that was easy... I thought to myself.

I decided to test out my divine water bending skills. I held out my hands and held them together in front of me. I then separated them, and imagined ALL the water being separating with my hands. The ocean literally split right in half, and there was a long gap in the middle.

The floor of the gap was made of wet sand. I flew upwards, and let the water fall back down into the giant gap. I concentrated on a big section of water and made it float up and shoot into space. The vividness of it was amazing. I could feel the cold water on my feet.

I played around with the water a little more, and decided to go trick or treating. I looked down at my body and I was a GIANT. I looked about 15 feet tall, so I decided to shrink down to 4 feet, and look like a kid.

I flew across the water, while it splashed me in the face. After a minute or so, I saw what I was looking for: an island. This island had Halloween decorations EVERYWHERE and was filled with pumpkins. I landed on it, and it was very crowded. There were kids everywhere

I blended in with all the kids, and went to the nearest house I could find. The house was dark green, two story's, and had a rather large door. I went up to it and knocked. It opened immediately, and an old lady stared down at me. She smiled.

"Oh look at how cute you look! You are dressed up as Poseidon? I love that beard! It looks SO real!" she said to me.

I nodded and held out my hands to see what she would give me.

"Don't you have a bag to put you candy in?" she asked me.

I looked down and realized I didn't have a bag! I shaped one out of water, and froze it. I looked back up and she stared at me, horrified.

"Can I PLEASE have my candy now?" I said. She put a Jolly Rancher into my ice bag, her hand was shaking. Suddenly, fire came shooting out of her hand and my bag melted. She grinned at me, looking evil. I look around and all the kids were gone!

I quickly made a big wave and smashed it into her house. It collapsed. She grabbed my shoulder, and then I woke up. I wanted the dream to continue! I tried to fall back asleep, but couldn't. Maybe I can continue this tonight! Thanks for reading

That was epic, maybe I WILL do it :O

Good luck everybody, happy dreams!

Oh, and good job Aristaeus, Percy and Mancon!

Well I did the basic task, and to my misery I was given nothing but a simple, "Wait untill halloween!"

Mancon, you really amaze me with your control skills

Good job on those who got it already and goodluck to the others, gonna be my first try at TOTM eheh

That was an AWESOME dream Mancon! LOVE it!

So do I need to do the advance misssion to get the prize?

Ooooh, I like the advanced task this month! Posting here to remind myself to actually do the TOTM this month.

Thanks for reading my dream everyone

No, you need to do the either the basic, advanced, or both to get the prize. So you could just do the basic and still get it.

The bacis track.is actually something I wanna try once, like see what's in my pucket. I don't think I'm ready to try any of theese tasks, but they're a good inspiration for goals.

How are you not ready? You've had a lucid before, the basic just involves walking up to a house, knocking on the door, and saying "trick or treat"
EASY! xD
Anyway, if you do the basic, does this result in wings being "basic" Or do either of the tasks equal the same wings?

Yeah, but in my next lucid dream, I wants to fly, and be in the dream more than a half minut.
And I've never tried Trick or treat in real life! :O

Good luck to you.

Basic


Advanced


Both

*Yawns* Well whoa. That was my first really long lucid. In the other I only had the ability to do one task or use one magicked power.

So I was in this house trying on hats, and I thought for a moment. "I wish I could do the challenge right now." Then it hit me.
[COLOR=I was dreaming! I could do the challenge right now! So I looked away from the mirror and looked back. I saw Hades. But I didn't feel like Hades I didn't feel huge or powerful. So I slammed my fist into the mirror, and felt the Hades from the mirror becoming me. Then I summoned an un-dead army. I made them compete in the skeleton games. While some of them got me snacks. I sipped my soda while two skeleton tried to do the pole vault. This was incredible fun. Then I ran out into the woods and use psi energy ball powers. (I shot energy balls at the trees and they bounced off of em =3) I kept running. My subconsciousness was creating amazing creatures and landscapes and villages. [/COLOR]

These are some interesting tasks. I'll give them, a shot. But the last TOTY comes first for me. I have 11/12 done!

Just because trick or treating is involved, i'm going to work on the two tasks tonight and tomorrow.

Imagine going Trick or Treat, and the next thing you know the door opens and you flood the persons house with water. (who am i?)

Will report back!

'd!! Great job!

Dammit! I almost had the TOTY last night! So damn close! I got to the point of driving in a classic Mustang to the Ark of the Covenant, when I realized I don't know how to open it. Any help on that one?

But anyway, as soon as I'm done with the TOTY I'll be working on the TOTM. Every month if I have no big plans. And I usually don't.
