how the heck do you do the last one? lol...seems manageable

I did the second basic task! I think.

I was dragging along a dc for some reason and we needed to hide, there was a corridor with seven pink doors so I opened one and didn't like it, it was a bedroom with some people in it. I opened another one and it was a small bathroom. Here I became lucid because I realized I was satisfied with how my subconscious me had designed the bathroom. I grabbed the dc's chin and pushed him into the tiled wall and asked him, "What is your whish? Come on, what is it?". He didn't answer me though only stared at me with a derpy face, still counts though right?

Maybe I should be nicer to my dream characters... but what's the fun in that?

I was in a sort of half lucid, I knew I was dreaming, I just didn't care to stabilize(Really need to work on that). I just needed to do some tasks.
My first goal was breaking a television that would hide my waking life note. I hit it with all my might with an object, and it did not break. I threw a few other objects at it and it still did not break. I was kinda looking for my bat to swing at it, but I felt I should move on to the next task in mind. I grabbed the note off of the back of the television(You didn't think I really put it inside, did you?), and started reading it. The sticky note was exactly like my waking life one to a tee, scribbles and all. It explained what tasks I needed to do in this dream: Break television to find note(You should have done that just now), now go grant someone's wish!" I was really not too into the dream after this. I got involved with the dream and did not think about what was going on. I knew I was not awake, but I didn't do anything to say I wasn't. When the dream ended I was doing something my cousin asked, and I found my bat. I grabbed the bat, but got distracted with something else. I noticed the dream ending, but I couldn't focus on the task at hand. I started drifting from what I thought was a dream and waking life, as if I was watching television then ended up inside as an example. I was like watching what was going on around me, but still in the dream. I woke myself up and ended up in my bed.
(I had earlier parts of the dream that included a camp-like environment mixed with what I felt was an old mc server I used to play. I had accidentally broken a window and a swing, but these don't count since it wasn't in a lucid.)
So I failed basic I, but completed advanced II =3

Good job you two!

Fungus: yeah it counts as basic because you just needed to remember to ask it, regardless what they answer (oh don't answer :P ).

TehDalek: Really cool that your note was just like irl. That's really tough for some people. I'm sure you'll break something in the next dream. And what a great idea using the note as a TOTM reminder. Clever.

Yaaay, I did it! TOTM are a really good idea, a good way to improve dream control. Now on to the real fun task: BREAKING THINGS XD

I got really close to completing the basic task of the month a short while ago.

I became lucid and rushed outside with the intent to break something. Conveniently right outside the door was a porcelain animal that I own IWL and I approached it to knock it over on the bricks below and shatter it. I had my arm out and I was just about to push it over when I suddenly became worried that I might NOT be in a dream and didn't want to REALLY break it if that was the case. I went to RC again and woke up.

So close!! Next time I'll remember how I got sucked into my emotions when I had already confirmed that I was in a dream and just start breaking everything :P

...
I'd say I'd have a go at basic task II, but I can't even recall my dreams properly, let alone get a lucid dream. :|

I had my first lucid dream last night! And instead of going and doing everything cool, I decided to do the monthly challenge! I found my crush as a DC and asked her what her wish was. She said it was for me to ask her out, and I did. Thus granting it. Sadly, I lost lucidity soon afterwards. But pretty cool first expirience!

WOW! What a way to kick things off man, congrats!!

Especially since in the non lucid part of the dream she told me she didn't like me and had a thing with another guy.

And the note was in my pocket after all....

Spoiler for Advanced II:

I am playing an arcade game called "The Key", which is a little game where if you can put the key through the slot, you push something valuable out, such as an ipod or a 3DS. I play it and end up winning a deluxe handheld Tetris game. I didn't recall it was one of the prizes being offered, so I did a RC, but my hand looked exactly the same as it did in real life. I knew that couldn't be right, so I tried again. This time, the head, life, and love lines on my hand were completely missing. So, with perfect confidence that it was a dream, I walked out my house out onto the front yard. A DC kid was playing with a rubber ball, and bouncing it against the wall, and he asked me, "Do you think we should be quieter?". I said, "No, this isn't real, this is a dream, so it doesn't matter." He then asked me "If this isn't real, then what's your definition of reality?" I shrug my shoulders and walk away, remembering that I had a note to find. All of a sudden the dream goes black, but I'm still there. I rip a note out of my left pocket, after unsuccessfully searching my right, but it's so dark I can't read it. I recalled something from the 'Post your reaction when you become lucid' thread, something about "anchoring yourself to the dream by touching something", so I grab onto a tree and everything comes back into focus, with the DC now bouncing the ball loudly against the window.

The sticky note was not written by me, but I was looking for it, and when I opened it it seemed like a normal sticky note, but it grew to the size of a piece of paper and read:

"When in the course of.....dissolve the political bands....powers of the earth..." (When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of Nature and Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind require that they declare the causes which impel the to the separation.) Wow, I am such a nerd.

And underneath, in crisscrossing lattices it read something like this:

derp headphones taekwondo tetris treble guitar LOL penguins turtles

Oh, and the note originally read:

Use roads Penn and May (in Vietnamese)


After reading the note, I realized it might not count, since I didn't write it, so I fished into my left back pocket, which was empty, and my last pocket, which had a piece of paper which I knew was the old scoresheet from an academic team meet that I had written my note on.

I look at it, and where the names should be written, it was blank, and where the note should have been written there was nothing. Oh well, at least I found it.

I walk back over to the DC,who now has friends, and he asks me to "Show him your moves," and points to a shorter DC. Now, I decide it's a great time to see if DCs are really invincible or not, so I try some basic Jujitsu on him. After a particularly violent technique in which I locked his elbow and pushed him towards the floor before suddenly wrenching his arm in the other direction, he lay screaming in agony. It does hurt, but it shouldn't have hurt that much. I kind of felt sorry for him, though.

At this point, I wake up and realize that in the real world, I've only had five hours of sleep, and I go back to sleep with no further misadventures.

I'm sad to see all my efforts were in vain. :(

No it's just a little difficult to administrate on my phone in the car. ;)

Took me three attempts, but I had a lucid. I only did the basic task i though, I don't know why I didn't even try the others, guess I got distracted by trying to fly. :D

Managed the basic task ii in DILD form:

I was dreaming about being at work, and I had to go get something off one of the aisles really quick, so I ran. As I was running, I felt like there was a possibility that I was dreaming and could maybe even fly. So I jumped up as I ran, and took to flight. YAY lucid. I flew for a bit then remembered the basic task ii for this month. Fortunately the store was filled with DCs: team members and customers. I saw Alice (from the cashiers) walking away from me with another girl. I said "Hey Alice!" She turned around and looked at me, then turned into a random black girl.. weird. Anyway, I asked her "If you had one wish, what would it be?" She took a long time to answer, and I was afraid I was going to get a mute, brain-dead DC on this one. Finally she said, "I wish someone would make me my sandwich." So I grabbed her hand and said "Alrighty then!" Good thing this dream happened at work and there was a sandwich station. We went to the pre-made sandwich section, and I told her to pick one. She just couldn't. After a few suggestions, I finally picked up a tuna sandwich and said to her, "Oooo, look at this one, it's tuna! Doesn't it look goooood?" And I shoved it into her hand. Then I woke up.

I then went on to have a couple more lucids. I seem to have them in 3's alot these days. Whole Dream.

So I have this treasure thing in my mind and I've had a couple close calls. Last night I had an incredibly long lucid, woke up and rolled over, and then went right back into the same dream.

I was watching a movie with a friend, not a movie that really exists, and there were people running around a desolate desert landscape. The next thing I know my friend and I were in the landscape and we were flying above it. My friend said, "Hey, we're flying." I replied that was because it was a dream and we could do anything. I was immediately thinking of this treasure thing and my friend said that if we really could do anything that he'd like to go to the moon. I said something about having to find a treasure and he said that we could find that on the moon.

So I suggested that we should just head that way since we were already flying, but the control wasn't too good and the moon never seemed to get any bigger in the sky and we couldn't get out of the atmosphere. We landed and I was thinking that we needed some kind of spacecraft to get there and that was when I looked not the sky and saw some airplanes flying over. The sky was clear and the planes were very small, but it was one of those clear days where you can see the shape of the plane up there. Then I noticed that a couple of them weren't planes but had the shape of the Enterprise from Star Trek. I was thinking we could get to the moon on one of those if we had a way of getting on board and then I thought that if those were what they looked like we could get beamed up.

Right when I had that thought I noticed that I was wearing something else next to my watch and I spoke into it that we needed to get beamed on board and it happened. Everything went blank for about two seconds and they we found ourselves in the transporter room on one of these Star Trek ships. I said we wanted to get to the moon and a guy said there was a shuttle leaving in a few minutes, so we got on board a shuttle which was kind of like a large flying bus in a way, and this thing took us to the moon.

Now I was expecting to see the desolate empty moon but instead I saw that there was development everywhere, giant resorts under domes and people were walking about outside the domes with space suits on. At this point I'm still thinking about the treasure map task so I go about looking for a map. We went into an area that looked like a shopping mall and there was a gift shop. No treasure maps in the gift shop. I was wandering around looking for a map when I woke up.

I was only awake long enough to roll over and go back to sleep and I find myself immediately in the same dream but back on the ground looking up at the Star Trek ships in the sky and this time with a different friend. I looked at him and said, "I'm in a dream, so anything goes. You want to go to the moon?" He said, "Whatever, it's your dream." So we went through the same process of getting beamed up and taking a shuttle to the moon, and it's the same as I left it in the previous dream with the other friend. We went looking for a treasure map and found one this time with the big old red X and everything. I thought I was getting somewhere this time and we studied the map and figured out the X was pretty far away. Luckily there was some sort of public transit system that went between the different domes and we were going to board this thing when I woke up again, this time for good. Each of these dreams, if you can call them separate dreams or one with a little interruption, was fairly long and incredibly detailed. Although I didn't actually find the treasure, I had a blast with the situations that were popping up. I never lost the lucidity but I never really tried to change much either because the scenarios were kind of fun. I guess I'll try for that treasure the next time, or maybe I can pick up the same dream and find it on the moon.

Epic attempt man, I'm impressed. Hope you grab that booty the next time.

Also real quick, is your location supposed to say "Cncinnati" or is it a typo? :P

It's a typo. I need to fix that.

I completed basic task II as well :3

I had done a DEILD because I was unsatisfied with my previous dream(non-lucid but had control). I found myself in a location I can not remember. I made sure I was lucid by doing a nose plug and it worked. I decided it was an excellent time to add clarity. So I just said clarity over and over and it appeared to work. I then stepped outside and tried flying. I failed quite badly. I never made it more than 4-5 feet of the ground. It was nothing more than a high jump. Also, it was nighttime.
I went into my parents' room and saw my dad. I then told him I would grant a wish of his. He then said he wished I was born without a shirt. Typical troll dad. I told him the wish was granted, then said the reason no change was made was because I was already born without a shirt. I gave him a second chance for another wish, and he wished for clowns to always wear pants, and the town to have sewers. I said done and done, nothing really to grant. I then asked him to grant my wish. I wished for 100% control in my dreams, and he started messing with some quarters. He was flipping them, as if to make a decision. I felt the dream was closing, so I told him to hurry up and either grant it or say no, but the dream ended shortly after without an answer.

Yay good job! I'm glad to see a bunch of folks getting these tasks this month. January and February were a little slow.

Great work everyone :happy:

can't wait to read it, and congrats!

Done! :happy:

Oooo, I like that you broke something with your hand, instead of just chucking something at the wall. You've inspired me to try that, especially since you were able to break a glass window without a single cut. In fact you grew a couple fingers if I remember correctly :P

3/23
3:45pm (a 2 bagger)
I laid down for a nap thinking about another challenge and lay there dreaming I was starting to dream and something bit me on the butt and made me jump right out of myself leaving my shell behind. I sat up on the edge of the bed facing the computer which is in another room and then remembered this task and looked for something to break and saw a pile of CD's sitting on the corner and tried to break one, It wouldn't break so I put it in a drawer with the edge sticking up and slammed the drawer shut on it and it exploded in silver dust with red sparks flying past my face. Then I thought about my flying bet with "Yuppie" so I collected the trash bag beside the desk and went outside thru the already open doorway to a warm summer evening although it was snowing when I laid down. I flew the bag out to the dumpster about half a football field away, I usually need some object however small to fly with so that was the bet, I dropped it in the dumpster and flew unaided back over my car to whoosh the dust and leaves off it and then on back to the house and it started to fade going in the door so I decided to put what I had on the recorder.
I didn't lose much lucidity after the way it started :P
