Thread: Task of the Month for May 2012

4:30 - 4:40 Am. Did plenty of intense subconscious training, and went back to bed.

Dream #2 Such a beautiful body. (TOTM)

Im in a mall walking around and notice a white lady who looked to be, 30 or 40 years old. She looked very attractive, reminded me of Julia Roberts. I sat down at the bench next to her, And reached in my pocket to grab my hawk coin totem. Im rubbing and playing with it thru my knuckles and say..
"Such a beautiful body you have."
I smile thinking about the TOTM. I open my arms and let my self emerge with her.
"Wha..what are you doin!?"
"Sssh, hush now. This real be quick and painless i assure you sweetheart."
"Nooooo!"


I feel myself emerged with hers and feel a slight tingle thruout my entire midsection. I laugh and look on the ground to notice my hawk coin totem has dropped on the ground. I walk hearing my heels tap against the floor as it echoes when i walk. I pick it up, and begin flipping my hawk coin totem in the air, whistling the entire time.


Grow Juggernault grow! (TOTM)

Im still walking thru the mall, and try and find my favorite childhood toy. I stop around and look for a toy store, and find nothing. I grow impatient and decide to summon my favorite childhood toy. I take both my hands and use my mental strength to summon a toy Juggernault. Nothing. I begin getting frustrated and finally yell..
"WOULD MY TOY JUGGERNAULT APPEAR BEFORE ME NOW!!!"

look around and see nothing. Im walking around looking and notice a toy Juggernault standing right in the center of the mall. I smile and command that Juggernault grow, raising both my arms up as i say.

"Grow Juggernault grow, grow Juggernault grow!"
It did not grow until i begin stomping my heels on the ground. Noticing, each time i did so..i grew. I continued stomping on the floor as the Juggernault toy grew in size. I laughed said..
"Grow bigger Juggernault, and do thy bidding!"
The toy Juggernault grew to an incredible stature, And it begin crushing stores and everything begin to become chaotic!

I noticed that the dream started to look a bit unstable and i was looking for my hawk coin totem to rub, and decided to try and rub my hands but the dream had already begin to fade, and i woke up.

Congrats Dreamprofesser!

Now fly... fly with your shiny new wings....

Thank you OpheliaBlue! It is quite an honor to be winged.

Successful Basic TotM for me: Clone of Lucy, Basic TotM - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views ^^
It's at around 2/3 of the entry.

Nice! Good to see we have more people completing this one than the last TOTM - you shall be winged shortly!

Nice little wings ^^ How long will they stay there? For a month?

I'll try to complete the advanced one as well soon

Yep, till the next task is set

Wow. So many people with wings these few days. As though the task of the month is really easy, or people has just gotten more sporty?

Let's see if it's gotten easier - attempt it, Carrot!

My LD count is 0, we'll talk about it again.

Yeah, I van try these.

We Meet Again [DILD]

This dream was a long one, though I actually only remember very little of it. There were two plots going on, one involving me which strangely I remember nothing of, and another that involved some random guy and Hayden Panettiere, my original celebrity crush. My clear memory comes in on the last part of the dream, I'm seeing Hayden and the guy each wearing similar strapless tops with ink blot patterns on them, black skirts, and heels. The guy didn't look half bad! Hayden and the guy have been running from some evil organization guys for a while now and Hayden says that they're about to have to start running again. After walking behind a crowd in my vision they each took off in different directions and a guy followed Hayden into a store, so I went in too. My involvement in the scene became a little less passive now, I was actually there instead of just watching. I turned lucid as I was going into the store and watched Hayden and the guy running through people really fast. Hayden was now wearing something more like a tracksuit, an outfit much better suited for this activity. I think to myself "This looks fun!" and move my perspective forward and zoom into Hayden's body. Oooh, limber! I keep running and start weaving my way through crowds of people while keeping away from the guy, it was pretty fun. But after not too long the dream started fading, and I tried to bring it back failed. Oh well.

Don't mean to waste space but... awesome I love Hayden.... I'm gonna go watch Heroes or something now

we shall try these and see what happens. perhaps a challenge will help to get my lucid train back on track...

Spoiler for for dream:

I went in the street and saw a woman about 30-35 in red dress and with long dark hair. I remembered about TOTM and entered into her body, wait a bit - at first i felt only my left hand and then all the body - it was like dress and i felt light tickling. I turn her body and went in other direction but with the woman's light step.

Stress levels are currently pretty high for me, so my recall has been nearly zero lately. In contrast, this weekend should be relaxed, so I'm hoping get lucky.

Advanced Task of the Month success!

Thank goodness for falling back to sleep on the weekends!

Falling back into sleep following a previous dream I find myself back in my room at my mom’s house. I’m sitting on the floor and listening to my stereo. In my lap is my stuffed Poof Dog which has been with me since childhood.
In a flash I suddenly become lucid and remember the Task ofthe Month, though I don’t think of the words. I simply remember that I’m supposed to bring my toy to life. My Poof Dog grows in size and becomes alive,and I stand up because he is too bouncy on me.
I immediately want to test his abilities so I open the doorto my balcony. He follows me through the door and we are now looking over my back yard, about eight feet below. This is a pretty high jump for a person even with the soft grass below, and I suspect it might also be high for a dog with short legs like he has, yet something inside me believes he will be just fine.
“Jump!” I commanded him, and I waved my arm in an exaggerated sweeping motion. He squeezed in between the support beams and leapt to the ground below where my friend was looking up at us. My friend seems unsure about this move, and she says he might get hurt.
“He’s fine! See?” I say to her as he briefly stumbles and then walks towards the back door of the house, wagging his tail happily. “I knew he could do it because you can’t get hurt in the dreamworld.” Poof Dog strides right in the back door and bounds up the stairs to return to me. I pat him on the back as he licks my other hand.

Then my neighbor slammed his car door outside my bedroom window and I woke up.

Made my "attempt" at the TOTM just now - I couldn't remember what the TOTM was, so i checked a dream monitor.. checking it now, I realize it is TOTALLY off. I'll upload in the morning

Here is the link to my DJ entry for last night's dream, in which I completed the Basic Task of the Month for May! It's long, but if you want to read it on this page, here's the relevant part (which is really most of the entry):

Spoiler for Dream Journal Excerpt:

Then, I wander through a small exterior door in one of the buildings, which leads into a classroom. In this classroom, the desks are set up in several sets of rows that are set at right angles to each other. The aisle between the rows of desks begins near the door and goes right through where the corners of those right angles would be. All the desks are filled with young adults, like me, but I don't know any of them. I walk down the aisle toward the front of the classroom. There is a male teacher there, leading the class in a discussion about something, but he doesn't complain or try to shut me up when I interrupt him and say to the class:

“Anyone want to help me out with this possession thing?”

[Or some similar words to that effect.] By this point, I've remembered one of the current Tasks of the Month and decided that with all these DCs around, it should be easy to give it a try. [I'm not surprised that I asked if one of my DCs would willingly act as the possessee. Possessing someone by force or surprise doesn't appeal to me at all; I already knew that about myself.]

A woman in the front row, on my left (the teacher's right), raises her hand and stands up. She's maybe an inch taller than I am, but stockier, and has dark red hair and green eyes. Both of us are wearing jeans. She follows me to the back of the classroom.

“I want my gold star, dammit!” I say, just before I go to work on possessing her. [I was talking about the gold wings I was going to earn here on DreamViews (or rather, the silver wings - in the excitement of the moment, I completely forgot that we had switched the basic and advanced tasks early in the month), but my exclamation came out as the commonplace expression meaning a reward or recognition for an achievement. My subconscious betrays my true colors: I really want recognition for my lucid dreaming achievements. Wow, I'm shallow. :blush: ]

My method of possessing people is as follows: I stand directly behind the red-haired woman, and we clasp hands with our fingers interlaced. Then, I press the trunk of my body into her back, with our shoulders aligned, and push myself forward until our bodies merge. It's a somewhat slow process at first, since the substance of her body offers some resistance to mine, but it works. [I already know how to become intangible to walk through things in dreams; why didn't I think to make use of that ability and adapt it to this purpose? I don't know.] In a few moments, I'm standing in her body and controlling it from the inside. It has an awkward, heavy feeling to it, but it's really cool. When I've made it all the way forward, I notice that I've done an incomplete job; I can still feel our hands clasped together, and my feet are sticking out above hers, because she was taller than me to begin with. “We're supposed to merge them together,” I say. I straighten out my fingers and merge them with hers, and push down with my feet so they're merged properly. Then, I walk forward, one step at a time. It feels heavy and awkward, like I'm wearing several layers of really heavy clothes. I walk out through the door of the classroom into the sunlit walkway. Then, I collapse onto the ground and try to extricate myself from my DC. I only succeed in discarding the pair of jeans the DC was wearing, leaving them lying on the ground.

I get up, go back into the classroom, and try again to release my DC from possession. This time, it works. The DC steps forward and away from me, and calmly walks back to her seat. The other DCs in the class seem to approve of the successful possession. [If my DC now wasn't wearing pants, none of the characters in the dream seemed to take any notice, including the red-haired DC herself. I think she just had a long, dress-like blouse on.]

I want to practice this newfound skill again, so I look around the classroom. In an aisle seat on my right (the teacher's left), a man with black hair in a ponytail is sitting. That'll be different, I think. [Being in a man's body will be different, I mean.] I look at him, and he gets up and allows me to take possession of him in the same way. This time, it's a little bit easier and goes a little faster. Unfortunately, I woke up shortly after this point.

Wow, years and years ago I did the advanced task and the damn thing killed me. Never tried it again.

Congrats Emiko! I like your possession method, very interesting.

Enjoy your wings!

Thank you so much! Wow - I'm so excited to get winged so quickly! You are really on top of this!

I have a question. Could you not just fake these? Like, pretend to have these dreams but actually not? I would never do that because it wouldn't be much fun or a challenge

You could but there wouldn't be any point whatsoever. The only thing to be gained out of it is feeling cool that you tricked people with a really lame lie that literally anybody could come up with.
