Thread: Task of the Month for May 2012

I wouldn't say that it's worth to lie about this just to get those wings... Not like you'll get any better because you have them.

Much agreed, anyway I finally got lucid and remembered the advanced task! I kept having false awakenings it wasn't scary but It was weird.

Do it.

Hahaha I agree with you littlezoe, but admit it, DEM WINGS LOOK NICE. And they move, so it's a huge win. Something worth working for xD

Littlezoe

<--- Golden wings for a week, worth it.

Personally i would like it much better if doing one task would give me a single wing, then doing the second would get me a pair ^^

Four wings doesn't look that good to me

Idk

She makes four wings look pretty good to me.

Lol I know and I know you were talking about the wings we get. good Idea on the two wing thing I just don't see how it would work to show if people did the Advanced or Regular task

Completed both.

Spoiler for BASIC:

I got this idea from the character 'Jericho' from Teen Titans (a cartoon I used to watch as a kid. Basically he has the ability to possess any living being he can make eye contact with. Having said that, my adventure begins.
So I do the usual hoo-hah to get lucid. I'm now lucid and my focus is already directed on the task because I incubated this dream.
I was walking down Oxford Circus in London (one of the most crowded streets in Central London) and it was almost impossible to make any progress. It was then that I decided to use my possession ability. So I have the power to possess anyone I make eye contact with. I looked ahead and a bald, slightly obese man caught my eyes. Immediately after eye contact is made, I phased into his body, giving me complete control. From then on all I had to do is make eye contact with the next person along the street, and the next and the next and the next and before I knew it I was at the end of the street. Mission accomplished.

Spoiler for ADVANCED:

I was rummaging through my wardrobe which happened to be larger on the inside (like a TARDIS in Doctor Who). As I was frantically searching for reasons unknown to me, I saw something moving near the back of the wardrobe. As it came closer towards the light I began to see the shadowy form more clearly. There was a distinct shade of red and a letter M on his hat. As it stepped into the light I saw what it was - my stuffed Mario toy! It did not have the ability to speak but it did wave to me and flew up onto my shoulders using one of its upgrades (the wings in Super Mario 64). Unfortunately the dream ended for me there, but you get the picture.

Damn PieMan, way to hustle, it's almost the end of the month!

Fly and be free

lol.

Hello, forceez, I'm here to ruin your TOTM threads.

...

starting next month.

Anyone remember the battles between me and PercyLucid? xD
good times. :')

EDIT: And get me some of those wings. 8D

Wings must be earned!

Fly the friendly skies!

Whew! Better late than never! This is my first official TotM done. I actually did another one, but that was during that hackycrappything so I didn't get the chance to upload!

Anyway, here's an excerpt:

Spoiler for Basic:

I got out of bed in a house that was completely different to my own. "Aw yeah!"

It was kind of unstable and I was really keen not to wake up so I was just strolling around and chilling. There were people sleeping in beds in all the rooms but I didn't explore too thoroughly.
Mum came out but I basically ignored her and kept walking around. At some point in my exploration, a miniature gorilla thing came out of the doorway and I immediately thought "Hm, why not?" in reference to the basic TotM (better late than never!) so I just jumped at the little guy and appeared in his body. I looked at my arms and legs and it was instead like I was wearing a gorilla costume and still had my shoes on. I decided that wasn't good enough so I did a backflip out of his body and jumped out the window to start my journey. I was higher than I thought and a bit surprised, but I'm getting much better at flying so I kinda fell with speed into the ground across the road.

SMASH!

I slammed down into a toy tricycle and then ate some grass. (Mzzck mentioned something about this stabilising technique once, and it's completely infested my dreams so I can't help but do it!)

I looked around at my surroundings and was, as always, humbled by how amazing the dream world is. It was a beautiful day with birds singing and lovely warm sun. Where I was standing was out the front of a garden nursery and I walked in and looked at some flowers before mum came out of the house and said something to me. I took that as my leave and jumped into the sky.
It was really 'pully' and I didn't have any physical control; kinda like I was on the end of a fishing line or something. But I just went with it and flew backwards and forwards before going extremely high. Probably around a kilometre.
There was an ordinary town below me and I couldn't help but think that down there, a million DC's were just living out their odd little lives without me knowing.
Anyway, I asked to be put down and began descending on the suburb. I landed in an ordinary back yard under someone's clothesline.

A group of young people were playing with their dog and they didn't seem to notice me. After they went inside, I followed them in via their laundry door. It was really empowering to do this. Like breaking and entering without any consequences! I walked through their house following them but when I turned a corner into their living room, some dude came around at the same time and looked at me. I jumped straight into his body and this time felt it be more successful. It was like I was his shadow and slowly closed in on him.
I walked after the other group and met them in the bathroom.
It was two girls, who, on closer inspection, were two of the same guy in drag.

I put my arm around them and looked in the mirror and saw that I was still the other dude. Success.

Edit: I've just realised that my favourite childhood toy is a gorilla, so I've sooooooort of done the advanced task, as well!

Sorry Astrosomnia, we don't have a one-and-a-half-wing feature

Anyway, congrats on the basic totm, and your wings

Wings <3

Now for task of the year 2012.

Looks like I get a pair of wings before the month ends!

I shout out at fOrceez 2.0 and also try to get him lucid. "Hey! You're dreaming!" I shout at the the top of my lungs, or rather, within the capabilities of the dream body.
fOrceez 2.0 looks up at me and seems to acknowledge me. Just like that, I am transferred into his body. This was entirely unintentional and I'm quite shocked - I get a vast amount of sensory input which I'm completely not ready for. The first thing that hits me is my sense of touch; mainly my clothes. Then the sense of smell, the smell of the.. is it trees? The area also smells quite damp, as if I was in a rain forest or.. that it was just recently rained Lol. I stand there for a few seconds and the finally walk around. I recall looking around a rock before I wake up.

I blame the low quality lucid dream to it being the first REM cycle. I promise I'll try and update that last 'attempt' at the TOTM I said I would.. some day!

Taaaake... these broken wiiiiings forceeeez

And learn to fly again, learn to live so freee-hee-heeeeee.

I know it's a bit late, but I wanted to share this dream anyways, because I have finally completed a task. My lucid dream was really long, so I want to skip to the part, where I did the basic task.

I have been lucid in a while, at the time, and then i remembered the basic task. I talked with my friends, and I got the idea to posses one of them. First I tried to walk into the person, but without any luck. Suddenly I remembered something i saw from a cartoon once, where they jumped head to head into the victim. I tried, and this time with succes. My friends stared at me, and I asked them if I really were succesfull... My body didn't look different, but I felt it worked, and they said it worked well.

I hope it wasn't really too late, because I really wanted to share this with you. Happy lucid dreaming!

I don't know if this counts but here I go. This morning I have had several of False Awakenings, FAs. I didn't know why I kept waking up. The last FA I had I went on the computer to get on IRC. While I was on IRC I noticed some odd things happening. All the text was messed up. So I went and said "Oh crap I'm still dreaming" thinking in my head. Then I walked in the living room and saw my moms dream character. She was just standing still doing nothing. I quietly walked out of the door. She then came running after me with a knife in her hand. I ran out the door and ran into the road. I was scared that I was going to die. I kept running and running then eventually I came to a stop where a subway entrance was at. The ones where you see in New York, etc. I walked passed it and stopped for a moment where random dream characters were walking by.

I've remember a conversation of when Oreoboy1996 was talking about a void in lucid dreams. I told the dream character, "Your not my mom, I'm not afraid of you. To the dream character, The dream character was coming after me, I suddenly stopped it and I was controlling the dream character. I was posessing the dream character's body with my mind. Sort of like Telekinesis, etc. I made the dream character walk down the subway and into a dark void. While it was walking down it looked at me like it was pissed and went down unheard of again. And then the dream became quiet after that and turned into a regular dream.

Well done kris9995! You can fly for about a day.

Merro, it's not really the basic task, but I think it's awesome how you were able to use lucidity to combat a nightmare scene. Well done!

Thank you very much
