Firstly, I LOVE the 4 tasks idea, please continue!!
I only managed to complete one task this month, but I would love the challenge/variety of doing all 4 in months to come!
I haven't had much time for DV lately so I'm posting a last-minute update again.
Here's my DJ from October 8th, where I completed an advanced task and attempted a basic (but didn't remember the task correctly - so we had a party instead!)
I remembered the tasks were Halloween themed, and I knew there was a task that involved DV people being in the same neighbourhood, but I forgot about the trick-or-treating part and instead thought the task was to have a Halloween party. So I told the DC to drive down the street to the house where the party was being held. I got out of the car and saw Atras standing outside. I ran up and gave him a hug, but I accidentally knocked him over backwards and we both fell into the snow. I looked at his face and realised it didn’t actually look like Atras at all. Then someone behind me excitedly said, “Hey!” I looked around and saw the real Atras, so I realised I was lying on top of a stranger! I got up and chatted to Atras, and he introduced me to the friend/date he had with him - the actress from his latest film. I remember being introduced to someone named Laura outside, but I can’t remember if Laura was the actress or someone else arriving at the house. We all went inside and joined the party. There was a room full of people chatting, eating and drinking. I recognised a few DV people by their energy (they didn’t look similar to their profile pictures at all) but I wasn’t sure who most people were. I asked someone if PercyLucid was there, and they said he wasn’t. I felt a little out of place until I started talking to Hyu, who I felt was very present and I wondered if we were sharing a dream. He seemed very wise, and was very familiar with the dream world and the people within it. We spoke for ages and he helped me calm my excitement about the potential dream-share so I could stay grounded. He also introduced me to some other people at the party - OpheliaBlue, Mancon, Dakotahnok, someone called Raoul (I’m not sure where that name came from, but he seemed like a DV member in the dream,) and I think Zebrah was there, too. There were definitely more people, but I can't remember who.
Around this time, the doorbell rang. Someone opened it and two policemen walked in. I was a bit worried that the party would be busted up, but then I realised that it was just some pizza delivery guys dressed up for Halloween! I don’t think they actually had pizzas with them - instead, they were taking our orders on notepads, like waiters.
After seeing the cop costumes, I looked around the room and realised that no-one at the party was really dressed up for Halloween, except for someone who was wearing a black cape like Dracula. I realised we could remedy this by doing the advanced task as a group, ‘Carve up a pumpkin and replace your head with it.’ We all sat down in a circle and began carving our pumpkins. A few people were considering replacing their heads with pigs’ heads instead for some reason, but we talked them into using pumpkins with us. When our pumpkins were ready, we all removed our real heads together. They came off easily just by lifting them, and it didn’t hurt at all. My vision remained the same, despite the removal of my head. As a group, we then placed our pumpkins on our necks and used ‘lucid’ (imaginary) needles to sew them on. We decided to decorate the pumpkins like snowmen, so we attached carrots for noses and looked around for something that might look like eyes. We found some red apples and inserted portions into our eye holes, where they transformed and became glowing, bloodshot eyes. We continued the party with our pumpkin heads attached.
DV members in the dream: Atras, Hyu, OpheliaBlue, Mancon, Dakotahnok, Zebrah, and two others named Laura & Raoul (I'm not sure who they were meant to represent...)
