Your turkey had a bank account?
Another fun double-fail:
Quote:
so I was happy that I went straight into a lucid on the first cycle of vibrations I opened my eyes into the usual overly dark bedroom scene, and my eyes blinked on and off. I eventually could see fine, and so I got up out of bed, but I was entangled in blankets again. I just stayed calm, and kept getting up and moving toward the bedroom door. I left the room, and thought about the celebrity chef task. I went into the living room and saw a man that could easily have been Tyler Florence. I said "Tyler?" But he ignored me. "Hello, Tyler? Tyler Florence??!!" But he just kept looking in pantries and drawers, like he was focused on getting used to my kitchen. I should have been patient, because he might have still cooked something. But I wanted more attention So I said screw it and got on the floor to try the purgatory task again. I stuck my face on the floor, but it was hard and cold. I tried another area of the floor, and it went through just fine. Like the last time, a column of floor and earth broke away, revealing a fiery depth. I yelled something into the tunnel, forgot what it was. I was having more fun than focusing on actually accomplishing the task. I yelled something twice, and both times a hell hound appeared at the bottom and jumped up through the tunnel, trying to get me. But as soon as they reached the summit, they vaporized. I considered going into the tunnel.. maybe there would be levels and I could find purgatory. I stuck my head in really far, and I felt this sensation, like a force gently pulling me. I think I could have really shot through that tunnel had I let myself, but I pussed out again and woke up lol.
.Spoiler for Advanced Task i) Journey to Purgatory and bring back soul:
I kinda lost it after this, but whatever.. I brought back a soul. It was a very unique and interesting experience.
A thank you to whoever came up with this task.
Thanks paige.
Your idea led me to have one of the best lucid dreams I've experienced in over two years. You get a :hug:
My first time achieving the Advanced Task! I'm so excited! :D

I had a fairly detailed lucid so here's the link to my DJ entry: War, Lucid, and Stupidity - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
But I didn't have a celebrity cook cook for me *facepalm* I don't know any. I guess that doesn't count though, huh? :P
I did do the "November" backwards one though. If I do have another I plan to stab that turkey with a rapier :D
This is my first time achieving a TOTM - and after a dryspell too! I was having a normal dream where I was partially lucid and then remembered the basic TOTM, which kicked me up to full lucidity. I did a really effective scene change by imagining my dream was in google chrome and I was opening a new tab. I was in a rainy coniferous forest and I was with some hunters and we all had flintlock muskets. After walking a few metres a turkey appeared, and I shot it with haste. Feeling guilty, I decided to imagine up a memorial, to which we held a funeral where all the Eulogies were in gibberish turkey sounds.
So yeah, the dream was really bizarre but on something like my 4th attempt at the basic Task of the Month my attempts paid off. Conveniently, this was after a one week dryspell. Also, when I first did the scene change before I stabilized I had the weird feeling of being aware of the bed sheets and at the same time still dreaming.
Congrats you guys! I'll wing you when I get off work
On a Sunday? Unlucky.
Did my first task!!! YAY!!!
Tell me if I did something wrong.
Spoiler for Advanced Task II:
Yay Brandon! 4 times isn't bad at all, seemed like it took me 10 times to get rebmevon right because the letters kept vanishing on me.
Interesting! In my very first attempt, I tried writing on paper with a pencil but the lead didn't work. So it just left indentations in the paper, but I really wanted it to count so I tried again.
Fun stuff. Also, congratulations again. Sometimes I have to try a task in a second or even 3rd dream. It's amazing enough to have the wherewithal to attempt a totm once, but in a subsequent dream? Well I find that remarkable so well done!
I enjoy the absolute freedom that comes with lucid dreaming. Being completely unrestricted by the laws of physics or society.
I finally managed to write REBMEVON! I spent some time incubating it during my WBTB and I was pleased to find the handwriting coming so much more naturally to me this time. It was such a relief to move past my dream illiteracy.
Full DJ entry: Rollercoasters and REBMEVON - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream ViewsQuote:
This room's a study hall that has a narrow desk with hotel stationery and a white pen on it. The hotel stationery has indentations on it like somebody has written on it before. I can't see what the person wrote, but the indentations look similar to my own handwriting! The effect is so realistic that I nose pinch and finger-through-palm RC one after the other. I remember the Task of the Month (write "November" spelled backwards), so I sit down at the desk, grab the pen, and start writing. With vividness so high, my confidence is really solid. I immediately write down "REBMEVON" all the way through and the letters come out correctly (unlike last time.)
It was one of my longer, more memorable dreams and near the end I remembered to try for Purgatory. I ran out of REM, though, and didn't make it. I still really want to do that one!
I completed the basic tasks last night!
I had just become lucid and was riding a horse through my downtown. I remembered the task and that I had wanted to do it so I pull a crossbow out of the air and loaded it. As I was riding the horse, I looked up and down the streets for the turkey. I finally found one and jumped off the horse and shot it through the neck! I ran over and grabbed it, then started riding off in order to find Alton Brown to get him to cook it for me as a thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately I started to loose lucidity and couldn't have him complete the meal for me. Oh well! It was close enough. :)
Would it count if you walked into a liquor store with a matchlock musket and blew away a bottle of Wild Turkey?
