Thread: Task of the Month for July 2012

Haven't had a lucid months, maybe setting my mind on the task of the month will help me get back into the groove.

Oh my god, I just had the most amazing lucid ever (I'm on a total high!) and I attempted basic TOTM.

Here's the bit where I drank the potion, I have to say, it was the most incredible, realistic lucid I've ever had. The potion tasted like AMAZINGNESS. Full dream is too long to post on the thread (it's in my DJ anyway for those interested)

Basically, I was in a college, and following a teacher after asking her where the magic potion drink was (other events occurred)

I finally get into the classroom, and the teacher is stood with 2 young, good looking girls smiling and waiting for me. I walk over, and YES!!!! THEY HAVE THE MAGIC DRINK!!!! Thankyou very much! They present it to me like a trophy, and I grab it, eager to drink! The bottle was bright purple, with a purple lable that had no text but purple colours and shapes. The cap was strange, a bit like a ring-pull, but plastic. The closest thing I can think of is like a plastic milk carton lid, or fruit juice lid, where you pull it off and it's a plastic circle with a line of plastic attached to it. I discard this and peer inside. The drink is a darker purple, with the consistency of fruit juice. (Translucent / thin) I happily take a few big gulps, and shit, this is such an amazing experience. I can actually taste the drink! It's mega sweet, perhaps too sweet for some, but nice to me. It's fruity, and tastes like berries, but with a LOT of sugar. I like it so I drink more, trying to really remember the taste, it's almost MORE taste then real life, my mouth is watering so bad! The teacher and the girls just stand and watch with big smiles. I must look like an absolute looney. I stop drinking and wait to see if I feel any different. I don't feel anything, except - THE DREAM IS FADING! Oh no! I try to rub my hands, and it slows the fading down, but doesn't stop it. I try to spin, but AGAIN I find this impossible. I don't know why but I really can't spin in my dreams. I want to do something, but it's almost like I know this is the end. I wake up, wide awake, and pretty fucking happy. Maybe the magic potion was a dream-ending potion? HAHA.

I swear, I've never tasted anything like it in my whole life! Coca Cola ill never be the same again...

Success! I finished the basic task last night. DJ entry

As the dream was stabilizing, I saw Severus Snape drinking something from a teacup and I was disappointed that it wasn't a potion. Then I saw that on his table, he had a rack with several different vials. I picked an orange one that was fizzing and sparkling and seemed to be made of Higgs Boson particles. It made my whole body tingle and sent me into muscle spasms. Snape yelled, "You foolish girl! What did you do?" He made me drink a second light blue potion.

This time, I felt the sensation of following backwards, falling through the floor, and then I had wings. For a moment, I was disappointed that all the potion did was give me wings. But then as a did a backwards loop through a cloud bank, the transformation continued until I was a winged horse. I flew around for a long while, ended up getting fed carrots, and eventually met up again with Snape. He gave me one last potion to try. This one looked like mother-of-pearl and made me melt into a puddle as he laughed. I woke up after that.

I did an attempt for the potion drinking task today... but before the potion could materialize in my mouth (don't ask, lol) i woke up.... Ugh... just at the worst time.

But my lucid was really long and fun, so i don't mind

Nice job so far everyone. The dreams are entertaining to read I will attempt both tasks tonight and see what happens! Good luck everyone!

Dammit I dreamed about a castle and I know it was because I was concentrating on the magical potion task. IWANTMYWINGSBACK!!!

Congrats on the basic TOTM isthisit and Thena!

I can't believe you got to drink all those Snape potions, Thena. I'm jelly

Thanks! I'm sorry though because I tried to remember your screen name in my LD, because they asked me who left the potion for me. I couldn't remember who does the TOTM thread! Now I know for next time

Good tasks this month. Hopefully I can have a lucky lucid to complete them in.

Broke my dry spell and completed the basic task!

I have a nightmare that I don't recall but become aware as I am waking up. I'm still in a dream when I decide to DEILD by 'rolling out of bed'. Much to my surprise when I roll I don't fall straight to my dream bedroom floor as usual but simply keep rolling in a dimensionless void, a spinning point of awareness hanging in nothingness. I keep rolling like this with a vague sense of fast lateral motion, as if I'm spinning very quickly clockwise and moving to the right. After what feels like a few minutes I suddenly land in my living room. It seems like it's the early hours of the morning, everything seems very dim. I'm about to rush off when I realise that I really do need to stabilise, gaze at my hands, which seem red and shiny as if they'd been scalded, after a while of this, the scene starts to feel as real as waking life, with the characteristic 'thereness' of increased lucidity, I can feel my feet on the floor and my whole body seems to have a weight .

I go through to the kitchen, my Mum and Dad are there, at this point I remember the task of the month and ask my Dad 'where the magic potion is', he doesn't seem to know what I'm talking about so I ask again and he tells me it's on the top shelf of the fridge. I open the fridge expecting the potion to be there, I find a red squeezy bottle in the shape of a giant tomato like ketchup at roadside cafes. I drink it and it tastes like sweet chilli sauce. I go out onto the street to test it's effects, as I'm walking I'm ambushed by ninjas bearing a red dragon motif, I gather from some kind of awareness of the dream plot that I've stolen the secret source (sauce? ) of their power. A battle ensues in which I discover the potion has given me red energy shockwave attacks. I finish off the attackers by jumping high into the air and slamming back down with a huge blast of energy. The dream goes blurry and I decide to wake and record the dream.

A potion that gave you super ninja-fighting abilities... nice.

Ohhhhh! Haven't done the ToTM for months now, but I'll definitely try the basic one!!! Sounds awesome, love to read the DJ entries too

I HAVE to get a lucid before July is over! A really kick ass one!
Good work, OpheliaBlue. You got me hyped to lucid dream again

Luckily, it's summer lots of time to focus

zzzzz
i can't believe people are doing tasks so soon.

but then again i'm one to talk.

Will attempt them, and definitely do the second one.

I desided to make magical potion that turn me into a butterfly.

Spoiler for for dreams:

WILD. I went from the house in the yard and made a bottle with poition on my palm. I was making the bottle until it had normal proportion. opened it and drank. It wasn't taste at aLLL!!!!! like yoghurt without taste. When i drank it i became smaller. Don't know how small. Then i flew and tried to came to red roses. They were big enough, but i couldn't because there was little wind. In fact i couldn't manage my flight very well, because there were some little wind and it took me away. I saw convolvulus floweres. The floweres were big and beautifful deep blew colour. i awoke and understood that in real that flowers are only 3-4 sm. .

I failed but I was soooo close. Thought I would share anyway.

Shopping *LUCID* - 7:00AM
I am shopping with my wife. (The store reminds of a store in other dreams) It is supposed to be Wal-Mart we are in (the store seems darker or dimly light) I am doing the normal check out thing. Waiting for the cashier and then put the sacks in the cart. My wife forgets something and runs off.

The next thing I remember, I am pushing the cart in the parking lot to my car. It is night time outside. Then I remember my self-awareness. Then suddenly I realize. "Hey I AM dreaming!" I quickly think about what I wanted to do. TOTM. I reach into my pocket and pull out a glowing florescent green potion with carbonation bubbles in a clear glass bottle with a cork on top. (I have imagined this prior) But at that very instant the world goes black and I feel my waking body lying in bed. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Eh, had a lucid last night, went to a different planet by teleporting but I couldn't go on a date with anyone there since all the life there resembled earthworms. *shudder*

Awwww you could have gone on a date with a worm? Bill Paxton took a fish head to a movie in "Fish Heads".. didn't even have to pay to get it in.

You may choose between having only one wing, or a pair of wings without feathers.

I couldn't have gone on a date because :

1. We (that is, me and my team) were busy infiltrating a top secret agency right under the guard's noses. (If they had any)
2. It was a WORM. (squirm)

And they were human-size too. The funny thing was, I did get caught trying to sneak in a sniper rifle and a couple of semi-automatics, but the guard seemed satisfied with the explanation that I was only 'delivering' the weapons, and had no involvement whatsoever in the infiltration plan.

This resulted in me being thrown out of the building without my weapons, so I had to fly to the roof and find another entrance from there. XD

But I don't deserve even one wing.

In my LD i pulled an ominous flask of potion out of my pocket, drank it, and suffocated to death in my dream >.>

You can trick that DC into drinking one in your next LD. Vengeance shall be thine!
