Thread: Task of the Month for July 2012

The advanced one could certainly be interesting, seeing as I have recurring dreams about getting married to a prince from an alien world. I just had one of those dreams the other night.

Nice tasks! I'm more curious to try the first one

About time you get them in the right order! Haha just kidding. But I think i will be trying to do these this month!

Well.. these are at least more interesting

But the normal one seems really familiar to me from somewhere....

Awww nice! Gaaa I really hope I remember to do these when I'm lucid :3

P.S. Been looking forward to go on a date with an intergalactic species thingy thingy

How to hit both tasks in one go: Find life on another planet. Go on a date with one of them. Ask the waiter for a magical potion. Drink it. Turn into one of them. (the alien, not the waiter......okay maybe you can turn into a waiter too lol) .___.

The advanced one...lol! Will definitely have to do it.

I adopted them from the lucid task club. Well, I modified the advanced one a bit, I admit.

She knows where it's at

Drink a potion > Is actually an extreme viagra potion > oops.

I sure don't hope I get that effect

I sure hope that i can skip the night with the alien after the date...

Spoiler for whoops:

Oh and I wanted to mention, that a date doesn't have to be making out, spending the night etc. Just like, going out to eat alien food maybe, meeting the alien parents, riding around Alien City in your alien date's "car".

If you WANT to take it to the next level, by all means. Just keep it rated NC-17 if you post it in here so oreoboy doesn't catch 10 heart attacks.

HAVE FUN!

I will commence le sexy time on one condition. The 'alien' is good looking and somewhat human looking. Anything else may result in just a walk in the alien park .

I might actually do these... Since I was kinda planning to anyhows...
Gallifrey here I come! <3 <3

haha great tasks! Looking forward to trying the advanced task. I just hope um she or it likes me. I'd hate to be turned down and have to try again the next dream.

It occurred to me that drinking magical potions in lucid dreams might be an effective way of transforming into different bodies or acquiring new powers. That led me to wonder: if you drink Red Bull in a dream, does it really give you wings?

I may have to try that for myself to see what happens!

I did the basic one last night. Just didn't get around to writing about it until 1AM. It was not exactly what I was expecting from a magic potion.

Basic TOTM

I was walking down a dimly lit hallway in some creepy old house. From one of the rooms I could hear the sound of a man crying. It walked into the room and it was very dark. I saw the crying man sitting on the floor holding something broken. Though I never met anyone like him in waking life, I recognized him as a friend in the dream.

The idea of crying over a broken object was completely silly to me. So I sat down next to him and started crying to make fun of him. His crying was contagious though and I couldn't stop. Another man who I recognized as a friend walked into the room and he also started crying. My crying turned into laughter for a moment because I thought the situation was even more silly. I quickly went back to crying however.

Chris then came running into the room. I quickly became lucid after seeing Chris because I of course recognize him as my main dream guide. He had this really crazy excited smile on his face and looked like he was about to explode with energy. He ran in waving his arms and holding giant muffins. Chris then handed me a vial filled with an orange liquid that sparkled. I had a feeling he wanted me to drink it, so I removed the cap and took a sip. It tasted kind of sweet orange juice.

I stopped crying and my vision started to get blurry and warped. When my vision became clear again everything was brighter and very colorful. I also got an extremely happy and funny feeling. As I started walking around this new world, giant muffins as big as my head started popping up out of nowhere. This is sort of what I imagine being high is like. My vision also reminds me a bit of the new "pyro-land" feature on Team Fortress 2.

I looked at the other two guys and noticed they had also taken a sip of Chris's potion. They had really crazy smiles on their faces and I probably had one too. They were also prancing all about the room while collecting muffins. The mood of the dream was right for it, so I did the same as them. I started eating the muffins and they were very delicious. I think I ate about 3 of them. The dream began to fade as the effects of the potion wore off.

You little scholar <3

Ok folks, the die is cast!

Hmm... now that I'm trying a new technique I might give it a try. I'm more interested in the basic one... I just hope the potion doesn't turn out to be poison or something that makes me explode.

I hate random effect tasks, they always wake me up . I still did it nevertheless. However I have been trying a WBTB/MILD combo and it has been working wonders. Had 5 LDs in the past 4 nights

I immediately became lucid and was pretty happy at my recent success. I quickly rubbed my hands to stabilize the dream and while doing so looked down at the sink/counter. I saw a bottle of Listerine and the TotM to drink a potion immediately popped into my head. I turned around and expected the bottle to turn into a magical potion. When I looked back the bottle looked the same but the liquid inside turned form a reddish-purple to bright green. I picked it up and smelled it and it still smelled like Listerine and when I took a sip it tasted like it too. I took a fairly large gulp and waited for something to happen, not sure what would. Only a second after I drank the potion the dream started to fade. I immediately tried spinning but it didn't seem to work. After only a few seconds I woke up.

Full DJ Entry

So you drank a magic potion and it gave you fresh breath? Amazing!!!!

Damn, if only I had focused on whether I could still taste it after I woke up

Very long dream where I did the Sputnik task of the year, the advanced task of the month, and the task of finding a book for Krystal. Was a very busy night for me.

Spoiler for dream:

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.

Busy? That was epic!
