Thread: Task of the Year for 2012

hukif- what methods do you use?
And how many lucid do you have on average?

Teleporting into a different location and time might be hard... it tends to worsen my dreams' quality. I tried to do the 20s task but failed

I become lucid. I go to the apartment where the party is. There I decide to to one of the TotYs. I decide to do the one where you have to take a picture with that old camera. I decide to leap through the window into the 1900s, but when I'm about to jump I decide to do the one where you have to watch tv. My brother and his friend are playing Play Station on a modern television. I decide to turn that into an older one. "Look at what I'm doing!" I say to them. I point at the television very dramatically and say TADAM. A shock wave from the television throws me back and I wake up.

Lol I noticed I used the verb decide a lot in that one

I just DILD, sometimes will WILD for fun but thats rare.
And "takes calc out" it says 4/day on average.

In order, this goes like this: Zeppelin one, Telescope one, Volcano one and finally Atomic bomb one.

It took me a while but finally slipped into a dream, teleport to the Zeppelin while warping time, end at the top part of it but it doesn’t looks like what I expected at all, some small balloon in the middle of the sky, it’s really cold so have to start modifying my body to not freeze.

It doesn’t takes long for the fire to start, I think someone tried to kill someone else and then they let a candle fall close to an oil barrel that set on fire, or at least matrix-sense said so. A few seconds after can see some smoke come out of the Zeppelin, look down and see a big town down there, the houses are made of wood so they will also set on fire if the thing descends, make a hole below me and fall to a big room with like 20 people inside, they stop fighting and stare at me “Yeah you are all so smart, fighting while the place burns away” they are about to attack me when I fly to the command center and change the direction from the town to the small lake close to it, the captain starts yelling at me for this “You will only make the catastrophe worse than it already is” I tell him, he tries to kill me instead.

Run back to the first room I was at, the smoke and fire are much stronger now and people are having trouble breathing, go to a window close by and put my hand on it then blast it away “Anyone who wants to stay alive?” some people actually look my way, so just jump after that and make a small path so the water-hit won’t kill anyone, also make it so the smoke will come out quickly from the window in case they want to jump and be saved, and if not, their problem; while going down also turn around and shot a wind-bullet at the Zeppelin so it will fall faster to the lake, before everyone is set on fire then wake up.

Back to sleep.

Alright I managed the WILD! But before anything else, do a RC. So now have another 3 tasks to finish, and it must be done today or won’t be done at all. Quickly make a barrier and move through time again, this time to when the telescope got damaged and before someone was sent to repair it.

When I arrive a ship is preparing to leave, no good, teleport above the ship and strike it with a gravity-wave, the ship is pushed down and becomes a nice white plate, start flying to the sky but then decide I should do this fast, the dream is unstable. Teleport form some bacteria that is still alive in the telescope while making myself a barrier, do a reading of the thing to try and figure out the problem but it’s no good, can’t understand anything of how this works though, so just put some energy into the telescope and call my TARDIS, give him some energy and let him connect with it, they are both machines so this should be easy for him. Feel like I am waking up… ask the TARDIS if he is done “Was done a while ago” he says “Tell me that sooner…” teleport us both back to earth and then teleport the TARDIS back home, I go to the computer checking the images the telescope gets, it is working properly again so can wake up.

Back to sleep.

Inside a weird room, do a RC while trying to find a door, it is useless to try and find it without any light though… so get some fire and find there is no door, put the fire out as soon as I notice that, will be oxygen deprived at this rate. Go over to one of the walls and use matrix-sense, apparently someone wants to keep me inside this thing? Teleport out of the prison, a few kilometers above the ground is enough to get out of the cell but not out of the building, who the hell bothers to build something that useless anyway?

Teleport out of the building and think about what my next goal is… right, the volcano, they will learn this way. Warp space-time and bring the whole building with me to the island, island? Whatever, there is an island with a volcano, the island is close to a beach and a small city and the people from the prison go out and start yelling but don’t care. Give the volcano some energy and help it explode faster, make myself a barrier and wait right where I am, the first explosion threw a lot of lava out and some will fall on me, coincidentally the prison people want me inside so they are attacking, even better, my barrier allows them to get a body part inside but the rest will stay outside. When they try to capture me their hands get stuck and the lava falls, I look at their bodies melting and just start walking towards the prison, put my palm on it and make it vibrate, that plus the lava makes it melt quickly, the thing becomes a giant wall of metal and melted rock that protects the city from the lava but not so much from the poisonous gas or the ash. Also make sure the lava doesn’t burn any plants that might be on the ground by putting barriers around them. Continue watching the scene until I feel like it is time to wake up.

Back to sleep.

YAWN! What a good night so far, I really like to sleep. Now then, why am I outside the house if it feels like I just woke up? Do a RC, since I don’t trust my memory in dreams. Alright last task of the DV, I think it had something to do with war… right, the nuclear explosion on New Mexico, teleport to the place and then move over time to before the explosion.

Alright, the explosion is gone, the nuclear bomb going down and me waiting there, now just need to remember if I need be at the center of the explosion or anywhere else is fine, teleportation would save me easily but then the task would be way too easy,

So the missile gets down, there is a flash of light and I instinctively teleport back and make a barrier, but the barrier starts breaking and by the time I gain vision am already around lots of flames, can’t hear anything either, despite the barrier blocking the sound-wave too, how interesting, make a time-barrier to not die and walk to the middle of the explosion, once it is gone look at how it destroyed a nice part of the desert, so rewind time for anything living and take the radiation myself and wake up due to that.

What the hell! How are you doing these so fast! And here I am thinking I'm doing well with 2 down in one week...

*pouts about in his living room*

Been training in LDing since I was 5, so yeah. And aww don't pout, you will get there eventually.
Anyway I am done with the task, and barely made it in time.

I am amazed. All I can say is fantastic work, I can't believe you did them all so fast! Have you ever/do you still keep a DJ? I can't imagine how many books you would have gone through by now

I do "Tales of the Inheritor, Hukif" is the title, just google it and there you go. But damn it was harder than expected to do all that, shouldn't have said a week <.<

My goal is mainly just to complete it, but as a little extra incentive I'll push for the end of february, maybe even january if I get a streak of lucids.

Am in, Zebrah

LOL
"It was harder than I thought too do that"
You cocky bastard
No one else in the world could do that in a week and a half roughly..

OMG HUKIF I love your dj!

Ah, if only I was any good at Lucid Dreaming. Totally would want to take a crack at fixing a telescope in Space. ;D

I fucking hate you Hukif! Just kidding. It makes more sense, I saw you joined in 2008 and thought "DAMN! HOW?!" But the over 4000 lucids makes sense now. I'm at...141...since I started counting in 2009...

Did the moon landing one! I almost let them beat me out too

...They (the astronauts) started fighting again, arguing over who should go out. Getting rather annoyed by this I snapped my fingers and summoned another space suit so they could all go out at once. The pilot then looked at me as if he was expecting something. I had no clue what he was thinking and just stared at him while the other were putting their suits on. *Snap!* "Oh! The TotY! Thanks man, you're the best!" I said. I had to beat Neil down, why would I help them out? I walked over to the door, opened it up and jumped right out. The others, who had just finished putting their space suits on, saw me get out and all sprinted towards the door to be the 2nd man out. If they weren't first, they sure as hell weren't going to be last.

You snooze you lose Full DJ Entry

Quite liking these new goals; I'm going try to get them done by April, probably because I've ran out of ideas to do in my LDs xD

Best of luck to all trying to get this done.

Congrats Hukif! You've got the orange you worked so hard for.

Good luck to everyone else.

Damn... Failed at the 1900s one... three times... that was the fourth time I failed at those

I become lucid. I decide to do the 1900s TotY. I jump into the air and start to fly. The sky turns black and I'm in space. I see a spiral galaxy (Milky Way?) in front of me. In the spiral arms there are numbers for different decades. I go nearer towards the beginning of the 20th century. Now I have a tape measure in my hand. I look for 1900. I get there. I appear in a castle. There is an unfinished painting in front of me. I start painting, but then I realise that I've come to the 12th century. I even have a 12th century outfit on. I try to get to the year 1900. I close my eyes and try to teleport, but it wakes me up.

So, we are in our front yard looking at several Moons when I become lucid. Again I jump into the sky and get the tape measure in my hand. Now I search for 1900. I find it and teleport. My eyes are shut. A voice tells me that I should get a confirmation that I have arrived at the right place. Someone takes my hand. I become aware of my body... and wake up.

The good thing is that it's been a while since I last had two lds in one night.

Just finished the world trade center one after having a 5 day long dry spell of no recall nor lucidity. Glad to get another one done though As long as we didn't necessarily have to use parachute, that is. I, instead, made a massive crater Excerpt:

I took a few steps back, gathered my breath, and sprinted right over the edge. I did a few acrobatic flips and such, until I leveled out into a normal sky diving position. The only problem was, I had only gone down a few feet. "C'mon gravity! I'm not gonna make it!" But I just floated there, nothing happening. I started getting a little annoyed and yelled as loud as I could, "Gravity on please!!" After a couple seconds I started falling straight down, like some body should when they jump off of anything. "Thank you!" I yelled. It took me about 15 seconds to reach the halfway point, at which time I heard people screaming down at the ground. I looked down trying to see something with the wind blowing into my eyes like this. I noticed they were all looking and pointing straight up at me! Well, they're going to be in for a treat!

I dove down, head first, into a full on dive. I waited until I was about 50 feet from the ground and quickly flattened out into a normal sky diving position again. I wanted to make a big crater in the ground since that seems to keep happening in all the fights I've been in recently. After only a split second since I had flattened out I hit the ground going full speed. It didn't hurt at all and felt like one of those big coushions used in movies where somebody jumps out of a building. Once I came to a complete stop I looked up and noticed I was in about a 25 feet deep crater. New personal record! I say everybody lined around the edge looking down at me with disbelief that I was still alive.

Chalk two more down for me! Got both in the same LD Mount St. Helens:

I quickly flew up to the peak of the mountain and got ready for the eruption. Wanting to make it fun, I summoned a sled, like you would use on snow. I sat down and said, "Whenever you're ready!" At that moment, the entire ground beneath me started to move. I slowly started to slide down when I saw gysers of rock and dust popping up all over the place in front of me. I leaned back and forth, left and right avoiding these mini eruptions. I was about halfway down the mountain and suddenly I was pushed up straight into the air, about 50 feet. A hole had opened up right below me! I started falling to the ground when I pulled up on the tip of the sled, trying to make it fly. I leaned back, trying to lift up, and when I was about 10 feet off the ground it finally started to rise. At this point I just made a B-line for the bottom hovering several feet above the ground, still trying to avoid the gysers. It was much easer in the air, slicing through air instead of dirt and rocks. It took me a minute, but I finally made it to the bottom. I didn't want to miss the show so I dropped the sled and flew up to about 200 feet and just hovered there, watching the eruption. A huge chunk of the side of the mountain was missing and massive amounts of ash and soot were pouring out of the hole. The cloud was enormous, thousands of feet high, maybe even miles. It stretched well into the clouds. I looked down at the ground behind me and saw a pyrocalstic flow blowing through the forest.

And the brownie camera (at first I had photo bombed this family's picture, but then I decided to make up for it by taking their photo myself):

"Okay, I think I got it," I told him. "Smile!" I told the family. They didn't make any facial expression, and I pressed the button for the flash while also pressing the large button on the camera. I counted in my head, "1, 2, 3..." and when I got to 10 I let go. "Okay, now I pull this lever?" I asked the man. He nodded and I pushed down on the lever. A small piece of paper came out with a faded image on it. "How do I get the picture to look clearer?" I asked the man. "Oh, you have to soak it in a special solution, here, give it to me." I handed it over to him and he placed it in a small pool of an orange liquid. The family whom I had just taken a picture of leaned over my shoulder as I leaned over the photographers, trying to see what he was doing. After about 12 seconds he took the picture out and placed it in a towel. He rubbed off all the excess residue and handed me the photo. I looked at it, and could see it clear as day. It looked just like the family, only as clear as a modern digital picture. It was still in black and white, however. "Oh, how lovely," the woman said. I assume she was the mother. "Here," I said, giving it to them. "I hope this makes up for the other one." I told them. "Oh, it certainly does," said the woman.

I loved the volcano one! Nice work

Finished the Hubble Telescope one Almost got the Titanic one as well but I ended up waking up before I could do anything DJ excerpt:

"Okay, well... how do I fix it?" I asked them. "All you have to do is bend it back! I should look almost flat but a tiny bit concave." The voice said. I looked at the mirrors again and noticed that one of them was bent way out of shape, the opposite way they were supposed to be shaped. I floated over to it and pushed down on the mirror. Forgetting I was in space I just pushed it without anchoring myself to it at all. I ended up just floating back a bit and the telescope didn't move, at least from my perspective. I floated back to the telescope to give it another try. Floating in space was a lot like flying in a dream in general. I just thought of where I wanted to go and I went there.

This time I put both my hands around the edge of the mirror and used my knees to push the glass. I started off gently, not wanting to break it, and then pushed harder and harder as it refused to move. I had to push extremely hard just to get it to bend. I'm glad we didn't have to break it . I looked over at the other mirror and tried to match its angle. Once I thought I had gotten it right I radioed back down to earth, "There, is that better?" I asked. "One second, we're taking a picture of the moon." They said. After a few seconds I got a reply, "Alright, it looks good. Good job fixing your own mistake." Jeez, they're mean .

Full DJ Entry 7 Down, 3 to go

Dang Burke, you go, man!

Hah, just realised that I get two birds with one stone, because one of my goals is to travel to the moon.

Finally got the damn camera thing done (actually I did it a week ago but haven't had time to write it down). Here's the dream:

I am outside our house. I go for a walk. While I'm walking I look at the stars. I see some big galaxies. I realise that you can't see galaxies with bare eye, so I must be lucid. This time I'll get the 1900s task done. As teleporting has ruined my earlier attempts at the task, I simply decide I am in the 1900s. The street lights and the houses turn to look like ones from the beginning of the 20th century. I go into one of the houses. The house is very narrow and has 2 or 3 floors. I go to the bedroom. There is a woman there. A box appears into my hand. It has a button on the top. I take a picture of the woman sitting in the bed. The image is black-and-white. If I remember right, the woman had a black shirt and a curly blond hair. There was also another woman in the room but I don't remember anything about her.

second attempt with the camera. Failed

Spoiler for for dream:

I don't remember what it was - DILD or WILD, but I was making RC and tried to move to 1900 and wrote on the portals 1900 several times. No results. Then I jumped in the portal and Imajine that I moving on a time machine. It looked like ski with a panel))l. I set 1903 on the panel and found myself in the sky, landing on the island. I land near the some factory and began to search the camera. The owner of the factory took picture of his wife and workers. I came to him and ask to change camera on my flying time machine. He agreed and gave it to me. Now I was a happiest owner of the brownie camera. I took picture of the workers - it was easy - only push the button. Took picture, looked at the picture, notised that the task has done and moved to the real....But here I don't remember what was on the picture.
