      Task of the Month for February 2013



      Introduction:
      This topic is for the Lucid Tasks that are assigned by the Dream Guide Team or voted on by experienced dreamers. Please attempt one or both of these tasks throughout the month.

      Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task, your efforts should make interesting reading! This is required in order to get credit, it is no longer sufficient just to say that you did it.

      When you complete a task: go to your control panel, then to permission groups, and request to be in the group that applies to the task that you've done. Of course you still need to post the dream here because we check.


      Whoever completes either of these tasks gets the following goodies until the end of the month:
      • Your name will be displayed in ORANGE in the online members list at the bottom of the main forum page.
      • You will receive a special title and badge.
      • You will receive access to the "Lucid Task Club" which is a limited access forum for people that complete the lucid task each month.

      Tasks for this month:
      Basic Task i - Find a flower and give it to the next DC you see.

      Basic Task ii - Erase a major element of the dream, such as a building or crowd of DCs.

      Advanced Task i - Find Cupid, and bribe him to shoot your favorite celebrity or DV member. "Kiss and tell."

      Advanced Task ii - Stare at a stopwatch or clock for at least 15 seconds (15 ticks of the hand). The stopwatch or clock must be analog, no digital clocks. Can you do it? Can you go longer? (Must be fully lucid!)

      I like how tasks are always original, must be a bit hard to keep finding new material

      About advanced task i: do we have to kiss the person? Or just watch them get shooted and react?

      I LOVE advanced task ii, gonna be a real competition to see who can do it longer, but I can see that being too greedy can make you loose the dream xD

      I get alot of help and ideas from the lucid task club, and members in chat as well. The clock one is from melanieb, the eraser one is from sivason, the flower one is a modified version from a former staff member, PercyLucid. Of course the sexy one is from me That said......

      About advanced task i: do we have to kiss the person? Or just watch them get shooted and react?
      Nah you don't have to kiss. When I say "kiss and tell," that just means inquiring DV minds want to know what ever happens after cupid shoots the object of your desire. Does he/she fall in love with you? Do you guys hook up? Do you have to run away screaming from an obsessed stalker? That old chestnut.

      And yeah that clock one is gonna be killer. I like how the flower one is pretty simple, so that way the basic tasks aren't so daunting to the less experienced LDers. Some only have LDs that last a few seconds. I forget sometimes what it was like when I first started.

      Anyway, start your engines kids!!

      I like how the basic tasks are related to Valentines day.

      As always, reading peoples experiences with these should be pretty funny . Id love to see someone attempt to bribe cupid to shoot the person as you are giving the flower to them, or maybe ill try myself ;D

      I had 2 Lucids last night, breaking my long dryspell . I have a good feeling for this month!

      I actually find it hilarious that in dreams, looking at a clock is harder than making a building disappear.

      Generally looking at clocks is not too difficult for me, I should try that goal out!
      Gonna keep basic II and advanced II in my mind, in hopes to complete them this month.

      Lucked out on the basic TOTM while on vacation:

      Next thing I remember I see a big glass window leading to a backyard that I don't recognize. Happy that I can see better, I go to the window and push through it I end up on the other side, and I see all these different flowering bushes. I think to myself "What the heck I'll try the basic task with the flower." I went to several bushes (I remember one with daisies and another with sweet william), but each time I got up close, the flower wilted and died before I could even pick one. The last bush I remember had big dark red blossoms on it. I picked one fast and it looked ok, not great, but passable. I turned around and saw that I was in a garden behind this little white house. An old indian man came out of the back door, and headed toward his sit-down lawn mower. Before he could start it, I said "Here ya go!" and handed him the rose. He said "I don't want it," and began mowing his backyard lawn. I kept following him and said "No you have to take it man, it's for the TOTM." Finally he took it, begrudgingly, and said, "It's all about you, isn't it? I bet you wouldn't even become a Christian." I lied and said, "No no, it's cool. I'll go to church with you I promise." And that's all I remember about that part.
      Whole dream.

      Nice tasks.

      The clock one is a guarantee awakening, lol. It will stop REM and wake you up!

      Will work on these (not the clock one tho!)

      I had a non lucid where I was in a florist with clocks on every wall and I thought it was odd that a flower shop should have so many clocks.

      This morning I had a success on the basic "flower" task and a failure on the advanced "Cupid" task. Fun dream!

      Quote Originally Posted by The Basic Success

      "That's not right," I say, and walk up to her. I place my right hand where her face should be and am surprised to feel nothing at all! I pantomime the motion of molding clay and after a couple seconds of work, her face fills in from top to bottom like liquid being poured into a glass.

      Her eyes narrow shrewdly, like she's wondering how exactly I plan to pull off this next part. (I'm wondering the same thing.) I need to add Cupid to this whole scene. I don't want to turn around and potentially go through the hassle of re-summoning my celebrity, but I'm not sure how else to get Cupid into the scene. I think about putting my hand behind me and having him land on it, but then I'm a bit grossed out by the idea of Cupid sitting in my hand naked.

      I had a successful basic task and woke up too soon to try the advanced.

      My wife and I were in the house. She was in the kitchen cooking and I was sitting in the living room. What triggered lucidity was the fact that the house was my paternal grandparents' house and they've been dead over 20 years. They weren't there, but we were living there apparently. I got up out of the chair and my wife came from the kitchen and I told her that I was dreaming. She didn't believe me so to prove it I jumped up on the ceiling and crawled around like Spider Man. Then I jumped back down and asked her if I should be able to do that in real life, at which time she scolded me for getting the ceiling dirty. She went back to the kitchen and I remembered the tasks and walked outside. Grandma always had flowers planted outside and sure enough there were some growing there. I picked one and took it back in to the kitchen and gave it to my wife. The Cupid thing crossed my mind, but my real wife woke me up shortly after before I had a chance to attempt it.

      I found a clock last night, but the darn thing was going backwards and jumping around. Well, I'll try that one again next time.

      I have a question, in basic task 1, how do I erase the major element? Is it by simply destroying it or ........
