Thread: Task of the Year for 2012

You can find this exact post in the TOTM June 2012, and in my DJ. I went to sleep with the specific goal of completing two tasks (a month and year one)

Browning Camera

As I climbed the glacier that I used to climb every night, I think hard about the task at hand. Once I reach the top, I am at my school. There is nobody there - which is odd - as I walk around, I hear nothing, see nothing, feel nothing. I come to the quick realization that this is because I did not want to adventure tonight, I simply wanted to complete the tasks at hand. I decide to have some fun and fly to my house (I tried flying with wings for the first time; I prefer no winged flight) in order to fall asleep and dive deeper within my subconscious. When I fall asleep in my bed, I wake up in a very old room. The room seemed like it could be in a castle somewhere, but the technology in the room seemed out of place, since there was a Brownie Camera (the first TOTY) sitting on top of a small wooden desk. Directly in front of me, was a mirror. I could see what I was wearing: A black spy suit, with a hood over my head (very splinter cell-esque) and the camera in my hand. I took a picture of myself looking into the mirror with the camera. Since this is a dream, the camera functioned like a Polaroid camera (I actually have no idea if this is how the actual Brownie Camera functions) and instantly gave me the picture. There was no dimension in the picture, it was simply flattened and very 2-D. The strangest part, however, was the fact that I was not in the picture. The mirror did not show my reflection, but simply what was behind the camera, which was a picture of a knight in a suit of armor. After I put the camera down, I knew it was time to enter my reflection. As I got closer, I could see the outline of my body slowly shake. I put my hand inside of the mirror, and I felt a cool sensation. As I went more and more inside of the mirror, the sensation grew, until I was fully emerged in a cool liquid. When I opened my eyes, I noticed that I was surrounded by water now. I could see the sunlight above, and swam towards it. Around me, there were icebergs and nothing else. I quickly teleported to safety, and awoke from my slumber.

Hello Ophelia,
I am very new to the interest in dreams. Well, I have always dreams but had never really kept a dream journal or anything. A few months back I read that the movie Inception was inspired by lucid dreaming. This sparked my interest and caused me to be the awestruck bystander that I currently am. About 2 months ago I tried to keep a dream journal but was lucky to be able to remember any dreams at all. I ended up getting about 5 journal entries in 3 weeks. I got discouraged and stopped with my attempts at learning to lucid dream. I never lost interest though. I frequently checked Dream Views to read about other peoples dreams. I guess what I am getting at is this... I am very new to this and would like to join your class but am not sure if I currently possess the skills required to participate. What are your words on this? Will I be able to partake in your class?
Thanks in advance, Tyler.

Oops. I'm sorry guys, I am on a Kindle Fire and didn't realize it switched pages.

I completed the task for the first television transmission. I completed it the day before but didn't get around to writing it until today.

Television Transmission TOTY

Unfortunately I can only remember the later half of this dream. I was already lucid and I was walking around a dimly lit mall. It looked like it had been abandoned for ages. Not a single person was in sight. Everything was filthy and broken. Plants were also starting to grow into the mall from the outside.

I walked up the stairs of an escalator that was no longer functioning to the second floor. It was most likely due to the building no longer receiving power. On the second floor an electronics store consisting mostly of TVs caught my attention. I peered through the window glass to look inside. It was dark and full of broken electronics and a complete mess.

As I was looking through the glass I felt someone's presence to the left of me. It felt like Chris's energy. I turned to look at it and I saw Chris stepping out of a portal in the wall. We didn't say anything, but yet it still felt like we had exchanged greetings. Chris pulled out some sort of electronic panel out of a backpack he was carrying. He pointed it at the store entrance and pressed a few buttons. A blue particle field quickly formed in front of the store entrance.

Chris mentioned something about this being a time field. It became obvious that he wanted me to walk through it. I probably would have walked through it even if he told me not to. So I stepped through the time field and felt a strange vibrating and tingling sensation. The store also change from dark and destroyed to bright and well tended. I looked at a sign that read, "Grand Opening!". I had apparently traveled back in time to the early days of the mall to when this store first opened.

There were still no people around there except for Chris who followed me through the time field. I looked around the store and it looked like they were only selling very old TVs. Well old in our time anyway. Everything in the store seemed to hint to me that these were the very first TVs to exist. "Want to see the very first TV show?" Chris asked. "Sure," I said.

Chris walked over to a TV sitting in the back of the room. He flipped a couple switches and then turned a nob until images started to appear. There was no color and no sound to it. It looked as if two ghosts were moving around the screen. I wasn't quite sure what they were doing. The transmission ended after about 15 seconds. Chris then pulled out what I assume was a checklist and marked something off. "Well that's another task out of the way!" he said. It must have been a list of the tasks of the month and tasks of the year.

I wandered around the room some more and played with the time field a little. There wasn't really an objective in the dream anymore however. The dream started to fading after Chris marked the task off the list. I can't seem to stay in dreams long after completing whatever goal had been set in the plot.

Last night I completed the Sputnik 1 task and the Mount St. Helen task. I even did a task of the month. It was a very busy, fun, intense, and successful night.

Spoiler for Sputnik 1 task:

Sputnik TOTY and Advanced TOTM

The earliest thing I can remember is falling out of a portal and flipping onto my back. I landed in the middle of a forest on the grassy floor. My dream guide Krystal then hopped out of the portal and landed next to me. Portals, Krystal, and a forest were enough to convince me I was dreaming. I got up off the ground and asked her, "Where are we?".

"Russia," she said.

"Soviet Russia?" I asked jokingly.

"Yes, and you'll be going to space," she said seriously.

"Wait, what?" I said confused.

She guided me through the trees to an opening in the forest. There was a launch pad located there. On top of the launch pad I could see some sort of pod or satellite that looked like a lot like Sputnik. Off in the distance I could see a couple towers. I was assuming the people in the towers were the ones who would launch Sputnik and observe it. Krystal climbed up a ladder to the top of the launch pad and I followed her.

We walked under Sputnik and she stopped to give me instructions. "There is a certain book I need you to find that can only be found on an alien planet. The book will be marked with the symbol of a circle and a plus sign on the left side of the circle. This satellite will take you to that planet," she said.

"Isn't this a little much for for a book?" I asked.

"It's a very valuable and ancient book, so please do this for me," she said.

"Fine, help me get into this thing," I said.

She pressed a red button on the bottom of the Sputnik. A hole in the pod above my head then opened up. She lifted me up into the hole and I climbed in. It was a tight space full of wires, buttons, and screens. Krystal then summoned my cat and tossed him up through the hole. I caught him and he started purring.

"Your cat is too much trouble, so he's going with you," she said.

My cat hissed at her and she growled back at him before closing the door. After 10 seconds or so the Sputnik started vibrating and I knew it was about to launch. I held on tightly to my cat as I felt the G forces on us increase. It stopped after a few seconds and I had a feeling I was in space. I looked at one of the screens and it was showing what was outside of the satellite.

We appeared to be revolving around the Earth pretty fast although I couldn't feel it. The sputnik flew out of orbit and started moving towards another planet that looked kind of like Earth. After a couple minutes we entered this new planet's atmosphere and fell towards the ground. As I started to fear a crash landing, I looked around for a landing button. I took a guess and pressed a yellow a button. The speed of the Sputnik slowed down a lot until it landed lightly on the ground.

Now that I had landed I wanted to get outside and look around. I couldn't figure out how to open the door again though. The door then opened seemingly on its own and I fell out of it with my cat. I looked up to see that a girl had pressed the button on the outside of the Sputnik. She looked similar to a human, but there were a few differences. Her skin was a kind of pinkish purplish color. Her hair was a dark blue color and she had pointed ears like an elf. The girl also had a tail.

"Hello?" I said to her confused.

"Hi! Are you an alien?" she asked curiously.

"Yeah I guess I am," I said.

"That's so cool! But why are you here?" she asked.

"I'm looking for an ancient book with a circle plus pattern on it. Can you help me find it?" I asked her.

"I'll help you if you take me to the festival this afternoon," she said winking at me.

I had a feeling she was hinting a date to me. I then remembered that one of the tasks of the month was to go on a date with an alien. So of course I agreed to go on a date with her.

"Sure, I'll go with you," I said to her.

She smiled and helped me get up off the ground. I looked around and realized I was in a forest. These trees weren't like Earth's though. They were full of all kinds of different colors and held many strange fruits. I won't go into detail though because unfortunately I can't remember them in detail. It would probably take me a long time to finish talking about them if I could anyways.

My cat soon jumped on top of me and rested on my head. The girl then guided me through the forest and the dream scene skipped after about 10 seconds. We were now inside a town walking down main street together. The town looked very similar to Loudonville during the time of the fair. There were many people walking around and enjoying themselves at the festival. The women on this planet all had characteristics like the girl I was on a date with. The men were also similar, but they had blue skin and red hair.

There were different kinds of vendors set up on both sides of the street. Carnival rides and games were stationed around town. There was a lot of confetti and balloons floating around in the air.

We visited a food vendor that was serving a weird pink goo in a cup. I have no idea what it was called because their written language was different. The sign had 2 small circles with a triangle above them. I bought each of us a cup, even the cat. I pulled a silver coin out my pocket and handed it to the man. I'm used to buying things with silver or gold coins in my dreams.

"What's this?" the man asked.

"That's a silver coin. Silver and gold are very valuable where I come from," I said.

"I'll keep it as a souvenir to remember this year's festival!" He said.

We started walking down the street again while eating the pink goo. It tasted like cherry and it was a bit sour. We talked about some things, but I forgot most of what was was said. I do remember that she told me her name was Stella though. She also said she would now show me where I could find the book I was looking for. She walked inside a building that I assumed was some sort of library. She quickly came back out with a large brown book that had the circle plus symbol on the front. She handed it to me and I slipped it into a backpack I just noticed I was carrying.

To be fair with her, I continued the date we were having. It was pretty fun. We walked farther down the street, we came to an intersection. A parade was taking place there. A lot of exotic music was playing as they went by. After about a minute though, one of the marchers saw me. He realized I was an alien and apparently he doesn't like them.

"Alien!" He shouted and pointed at me.

Everyone in the parade then stopped and stared at me. They too started shouting "alien!" and gave me angry looks. I had a feeling I wasn't welcomed by them and that they might turn hostile.

"It was nice meeting you. You might want to run now," she whispered to me.

I took her advice, held onto my cat, and started running back up the street. The parade chased right after me when I ran of course. I ran away a pretty good distance from them before my cat jumped out of my arms. He ran over to some girl who seemed to be taking in the scenery. The odd thing was, this girl was a normal human girl. She crouched down to pet him and he was happy about it. I wasn't too happy about it though because we still had to run. After calling him a few times he came back to me. I remember I ran back towards the forest, but the dream faded away after that.

Spoiler for Mount St. Helen's eruption task:

Helen's Eruption TOTY

I was walking down a dark tunnel with an orange glow at the end. I walked closer and closer to the light until I came into an opening. I was inside a cave where in front of me lied a lake of lava. Some distance into the lake I could see a large piece of land above the lava like an island. This certainly wasn't an everyday thing and it caused me to wonder if I could be dreaming. I used my personal reality check where I simply try to feel whether I'm in a dream or not.It was successful of course and I became lucid.

I activated my dragon sight ability to zoom in and look at it in more detail. Over there I saw a pink dragon sleeping next to a large treasure chest. She was only about 2 times my dragon size, so I assumed she was still young. There were many large crystal formations growing out of the ground on the island. I saw a man who appeared to be some old sage or wizard resting against a large crystal too.

Past experience has told me it's not a good idea to mess with a dragon who's guarding treasure, let alone a sleeping dragon. I still found that island to be the most interesting thing in my dream however. Despite the dangers of it, I decided I would attempt to go over there and have a look around. I leaped forward over the edge of the cliff and transformed into a purple dragon. I then flapped my wings and started flying over the lava. I was aiming to simply turn into a black dragon, but I turned into a purple one with little effort somehow. I'm more powerful as a purple dragon though, so that's good.

I flew over to the island and quietly landed behind a crystal structure. I wanted to be very stealthy as long as I was hanging around a sleeping dragon. When I stepped back out into the open, the dragon quickly awakened even though I didn't make a sound. She opened her eyes and stood up, looking down on me. The sage also awoke and he approached me.

"What are you doing in my volcano?" the dragon asked me.

"Just looking around and exploring the world I guess," I said to her.

She growled at me and apparently didn't trust me at all. Probably a wise choice since I have the habit of stealing treasure. The sage then placed his hand in front of her to make her back off.

"Helen, where are your manners? Hello, I am the great sage of this volcano. This is Helen, my dragon friend who is the guardian of the mountain."

"I'm just a wandering dragonborn. It's nice to meet you," I said to him.

He then came closer and whispered to me, "She's not the type to let you out without a fight. Look for a powerful orange crystal hidden in caves. It will make you powerful enough to defend yourself."

He said this with the intention of helping me of course and to keep Helen from killing me. Helen has very keen hearing however and seemed to have heard every word of it.

"Like I would ever give you the chance of defeating me!" she yelled.

The crystals around the island started to glow brightly. Helen was clearly absorbing their power and planning to attack. Helen charged up her attack and then released a beam of energy from her mouth towards me. I quickly dove to the right and rolled out of the way. The energy beam appeared to be made out of plasma or lava. Very fitting for a dragon who lives in a volcano I suppose.

Helen flew up above the island and started shooting more lasers at me. I was just barely able to dodge them and I was having a hard time planning my next move. Then out from behind a crystal structure my dream guide Krystal ran out into the open. She had two clones that she had made with her on each side. The two clones jumped up into the air and kicked and punched the dragon. The real Krystal ran towards me while Helen was distracted.

"You do not know anything about stealth!" she yelled at me.

"Sorry, I'm clearly not as good as you." I said.

Helen swiped the two clones with her claws and they disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. I grabbed onto Krystal and started flying away from the island with her. Meanwhile, Helen started controlling the lava around the island and sent a large wave of it towards us. When I landed back on the mainland of the volcano, I quickly turned left and ran into a tunnel with Krystal. The lava started flowing into the tunnel so we kept running. After exiting the tunnel I noticed another tunnel higher above the ground with an orange glow. I grabbed onto Krystal again and flew up there to get away from the lava.

We took a moment to rest in that cave. As we were resting I remembered that there was an orange glow in there. I looked around and found the orange crystal that the sage was talking about. I grabbed the crystal and absorbed its power. I felt a lot of energy inside me and felt confident that I could defeat Helen.

"I'm going back to fight Helen. You should be able to find a side tunnel out of the volcano while I'm distracting her," I said.

"Alright, I can sense light up ahead, so I should be able to find a way out. Please try not to die when you fight her," she said.

"I'll do my best," I said.

I ran back the direction we came from and Krystal ran further down the tunnel. I came back to the lake and quickly flew over it back towards the island. Helen was already expecting me and started shooting lasers again. It was a bit easier to dodge her attacks now that I had the freedom of flight. When I came to the island, I landed on it to dodge one of her lasers. I ran across the island towards her. She aimed another laser at me, but I countered it with a powerful ice breath. The collision created an explosion. I jumped through it while focusing all of the crystal energy I gathered into my fist. I punched Helen with an explosive force and she was launched into the wall of the volcano.

It definitely wasn't enough to kill her, but she was dazed by the attack. This bought me some time to escape. I realized that the main exit of the volcano (the top) was actually right above the island. I started flying straight up above the island as fast as I could before Helen could get another chance to attack. Suddenly the volcano started to erupt and I still had a great distance to fly before I would reach the top. I soon did reach the top though and I climbed up onto the snowy summit.

Just as I was starting to slide down the mountain, I noticed a very large bulge in the side of it. The snow started melting away over it and I realized I wasn't in a good position. I quickly surrounded myself with a shield of fury energy as bulge exploded. The shield protected me from most of the explosion, but the blast sent me flying down towards the forest below. I braced myself for impact and put all of my energy into defense and shielding. I crashed through a tree and hit the ground hard before sliding through the forest and knocking down several more trees.

When I finally stopped rolling and sliding across the ground, I took a moment to regather my thoughts on what just happened. I slowly got up off the ground in pain, wondering how the hell I survived that. I was bleeding in several places and aching all over. I didn't die though, so I was happy for that. I looked back up towards the volcano and realized that it was Mount St. Helen. Everything suddenly made sense after that. I even started laughing because I thought that was kind of funny.

I leaned back up against the tree and started healing my wounds. My vision was already getting blurry by this point though. I knew I would wake up very soon.

I dreamed of the titanic while thinking of the task of the month. Unfortunatly I only got to see the boat from afar didnt get to board it.

That bomb one sounds scary I hate heat in my dreams though luckily i rarely die.

I did task of the year only to wake up and realise it was an old task. Here is a warning don't read old tasks before attempting task of the year and month otherwise your dream self may get confused. I wasted a whole dream trying to date an alien btw

I then remembered that one of the tasks of the month was to go on a date with an alien. So of course I agreed to go on a date with her.

thanks a lot Dragonborn!*rolls eyes* I didn't attempt any other tasks as it was the same dream. I'll post it for you as soon as I'm done editing. As a side note I did manage to complete the advanced task of the month as a newbie

Just completed two tasks of the year as below. I wasn't very happy with my first experiences of these tasks they seemed to lack story and sensation. Still I suppose this can be expected for someone new at this. And I guess this is still a great feat for a newbie. Oh well here's the two stories below. Only 8 more to go

Spoiler for The trinity test 1945:

I was running away from someone. I saw a small building in the middle on its own the size of a outdoor toilet. I stepped in and closed the door. I remembered how doors could be used for portals and determined that when I opened the door I would be in the 1900's anything to escape my pursuer. I opened the door to see everything in black and white as in an old movie. I walked until looking around I saw a deserted town where I was somewhere like a old petrol station. I thought of the Bomb task and told myself a bomb will explode. I was frantic waiting deciding between watching the bomb explode and feeling it. I was in a dillema. I decided to feel the bomb explode even though I was afraid of dream heat, I decided to feel the experience as I knew I wouldn't die and even though I was afraid of dream heat and pain I knew I wouldn't die and was curious of the sensations I would feel after reading some of the posts here. I stood at the station watching the centre where I knew the bomb was even though I couldn't see it. I told myself it was small and hidden. It was then the bomb exploded. I saw a Hugh of a yellow orange while still being aware of my surroundings. The Hugh got stronger and I felt a heat that wasn't so intense but the Hugh was pushing me away. It pushed me 2 miles. My pursuer was there. I ignored him flying against the heat determined to experience this explosion. When the bomb was finished being in the 1900's still I went to do the Hubble telescope task. I just told a man I was going to fix it. as he waved me off. I remembered I was still in the same dream and couldn't do another task. Oh well.

Spoiler for The sinking of the RMS Titanic 1912:

I was running from the same man as my last dream (sometimes my dreams will sequel old dreams) I saw a vast blue ocean and did a I suppose reality check to make absoloutly sure this was a separate dream. (don't ask me how I just kind of knew) I flew over the ocean and saw the titanic as I knew it would be there. I pulled a chair up on deck feeling a bit like a copy cat to an old post here. I saw no one above. I guess they were all below deck. I willed an ice burg to appear. The ice burg was huge bigger then half the ship. I was afraid as the ship got closer thinking about chickening out but instead resolved to stay. The ship hit the ice burg and kind of merged through it. I could hear a creakening as the iceberg got closer and closer. I was just about to scream when the ship stopped just as my section at the back was about to hit the ice burg. I was glad I sat at the back. It was then I felt a sinking sensation and was soon floating on water.

Btw what is it you get for completing task of the year?

Here's a task I completed on Thursday only 7 more to go

Spoiler for Hubble Telescope Launch (1990):

I was with a female sex partner and we reached an oval like field. Remembering Telescope task I looked for a rocket ship. There I saw one with a men standing next to a table with a small mirror. I grabbed the mirror and told him I was going to fix the telescope. He asked me why I thought I was capable for such a task. I said I was a sorceress and levitated to show him. He nodded and I flew into space to fix the mirror. Something was wrong I couldn't find the telescope. I flew back down to try the men's rocket ship. I boarded the ship with the men and the women. The whole time we were flying we had a very sexy threesome. The men steered near the sun making me afraid we would hit it. We didn't instead we found the telescope. I left the space ship to fix the telescope. I looked at the mirror it wasn't broken I thought of breaking it just to make sure of passing the task. Then I figured I'm no expert on these things. So I replaced the mirror and went back into the ship to have more hot sexy time.

Last night I completed 3 almost 4 tasks these are as below. 4 more to go

Spoiler for The Brownie camera (1900):

Becoming Lucid I went down the street breaking into peoples houses while willing the door to be a portal to the 1900s. I was successful. I went into a house and saw a very old looking room with a square like camera. A brownie camera. I grabbed the camera and went and took a picture of a group of people. Through the camera I could see them in vibrant colour. The camera made a whirring sound I assumed to make the piece of paper and took a long time with the group of people constantly bending over. I looked at the piece of paper the photo was missing half of them and looked like stick figures all black and white. I gave the photo to the group. They weren't happy and I left the house.

Spoiler for First Television Transmission (1925):

I was in a house in the 1900's I think it was the same house for the camera that I found in another dream. My brain must of been creating sequels again. This time there was only a couple. I asked if they had a tv and they pointed me to a very old tv. I turned it on but only saw strange people with round heads like jelly babies except there was sound and colour. I wasn't satisfied. I told the lady her TV was broken and hit it to try and get rid of the black and white. This didn't work. Unsatisfied I left the house to go outside. Once outside I opened countless doors to find a TV. they were either empty or full of food. I wouldn't go through some doors as they were guarded by spiders. I tried to swat the spiders imagining a swatter. I also successfully moved them using telekinesis. However this made them go closer. I then ran from them and tried the doors again. It was then I saw a modern day stereo. I lifted the lid to see a old TV yes. It was somehow merged with a dvd player. I turned it on seeing the same scene as before except in black and white. Unfortunately I could still here sound. Though now I think of it I think that was just the stereo.

Spoiler for The Hindenburg Disaster (1937):

Thinking of the blimp I saw it in the distance. I knew I would have to catch up in order to board it. I ran and jumped many fences until I caught up. The blimp was rising higher and not stopping. So I grabbed on to some plastic and rose with it. First I was near the back then remembering that it blew up from the back I moved to the front. I saw someone else purchased on top. I found out later it was my brother doing the same task. As we floated higher and higher I looked out for the tower we were going to hit and saw it. As we were getting close to it a lady used a lighter to try and blow it up. I blew it out and told her this had to be accurate. Then the blimp hit the tower and the back lit up. Remembering how fast gas lights up I let go and hit the water below. I worried it was to soon and a second later my brother dropped next to me. Task complete. we then swam to shore.

I wasted an entire task going into the twin towers having them hit by a plane and saving 20 people from the fire without realising all I had to do was jump from the towers dam.

On Saturday I did the World Trade Center Completion (1973) task. Though in the dream I felt as though I had failed it was only when I looked back that it appeared I was low everything else leading to the jump told me I was very high. So therefore I will count this as a pass. Here is the story below. Only 3 more to go

Spoiler for world Trade Center Completion (1973):

Realising I was dreaming I called for my brother. He appeared. I then asked him to take me to the twin towers and he said he would. I followed him until I arrived at the twin towers. I asked him to come with me. After some hesitation he agreed. We rode up many escalators. I was impatient and kept walking up them wondering why I was going so slow. It was then I realised I was walking up escalators that go down. I pushed through and finally reached the top. I couldn't see any way to get higher so I asked a lady if this was the top of the twin towers. She said it was. She then led me to a balcony. I walked to the end and laughed to myself how much I will freak my brother out by jumping off this building. When at the edge I jumped. After only a short while I landed and felt the impact on my feet as if I had jumped from a high height. I thought this wasn't right and turned back to see where I jumped from was now only as high as my house oh well such is dreams. I'm guessing thinking I can't of jumped from a high height changed the height of the building.

Heres two tasks I did wednesday for the sattelite. The first try was you could say a fail but given the story line I would put it as a pass. No matter I passed the task in another dream on the same night here they are. 2 more to go

heres both stories

Spoiler for Sputnik 1 (1957) attempt 1:

Because we don't need suggestions until the time comes, i.e. december.

yeah, but I haven't seen a suggestion thread in december either...

(Sigh) I guess I will not be completing this year's task. Over the year, I have managed to do half of them, but with the amount of time left, it seems unlikely I will be able to do the rest.

Stupid dry spell... I barely had ANY lucids this year...

On Thursday I completed the Eruption of Mount St. Helens (1980). Only 1 last task to go

Spoiler for Eruption of Mount St. Helens (1980):

I was angry at my dad and I flew from my grandmas house. I arrived at an olden days looking train. I wanted to travel on the train so I willed a stop sign onto the tracks. None appeared though I just knew it was there. The first train went right past the second train stopped. A nice gentleman let me on board. As I sat on the train a woman. stirred up trouble about me. Afraid I would be kicked off the train I threw her out the window. Then a security guard tried to throw me off. So I willed a wind to take him off the train. When the driver asked me what happened I told him he left his job early. Ahh the driver commented they don't often give notice these days.

We arrived at an old town. I then thought of the volcano task. I went towards a mountain which I knew was the volcano and I went to climb it. Just then a guy arrived and tried to stop me. Determined not to fail the task I grabbed the men and climbed to the top dropping him in the volcano. I watched as his body disintegrated into ash. The volcano started to errupt. I saw big rocks fall everywhere and a cloud of ash. I used a force field to protect me from some of it. I ended back in town and there was a murder investigation. With me being the suspect for killing the men as someone saw me do it. As there town was ravaged by the volcano I was chased by the authorities. I out ran them and left town jumping and flying over rivers of lava.

I saw the ocean and thought yes oceans are safe from volcanoes and dived into it turning into my mermaid form. another mermaid asked if I had given the volcano a human sacrifice starting the eruption. I said I hadn't she said good I wanted to do the human sacrafice for this year.

Internet cut out I have completed all tasks of the year almost 2 weeks ago. Can't edit last sputnik task so here it is as well as the armstrong task. Usually I would be more excited to have completed the task of the year in just over a week for a begginer. but honnestly after all the waiting I just want to get this over with.

Spoiler for Sputnik 1 (1957):

I don't remember much of this dream as it was nearly 2 weeks ago and I didn't get a chance to record it. I was in a lucid so I went looking for the launch sight of the sputnik. instead I found a stack of hay. I climbed on top of the hay and told myself it was the rocket. It worked and I launched to out of space. I saw the sputnik and sat on it as we rotated around space I saw a planet and went into it. The planet was bare. I also picked up a women from space who was with me. I used my powers to turn the planet into a green and furtile land. soon alcahol bars and many people followed and in no time there where orgies everywhere. The original habitats came back to the planet and were angry. I changed the planet back as I left leaving war and death behind me.

Spoiler for The Apollo 11 Moon Landing (1969):

I was tired of the stream of nightmares I had been enduring that night. I told the first DC I met that I was taking no more s**t and that they were to show me to the launch site of neil armstrong. The lady led me to a room which was a trap to kill me and someone else traveling with me. We ran found two pods and went into them. They launched to the moon where we placed a flag. Neils rocket was there but the first guy to leave wasn't Neil. He was also chased by aliens where Neil took the mans place and claimed himself first man on the moon.

I completed the task of the year but I can't find the group to join any ideas?
