Task of the Month for July 2013

There, That's better....

7/08
3:00am I was dreaming I was reading old dreams in my dream journal when something like an earthquake rocked me around and I wound up fishing in the river on the old family homestead like when I was a kid and the change from bed to farm told me I was dreaming again. It looked like early morning and sitting in the haze I heard a noise up by the barn and a huge dappled gray horse with a strange woman on it was plodding down the lane toward where I was sitting on the river bank.
The horse came right up to me and nudged my shoulder with his nose and it was like they knew I was looking for something to hug so I reached around his nose and hugged it because there was no way my arms were going to reach around his neck and figured that would have to do it for the task because I couldn't reach the woman either, He looked into my eyes with one huge eye as big as an orange a few inches from mine like he was trying to communicate something like maybe a thanks for the hug then they plodded back up the lane and disappeared into the haze (we never spoke a word) and I woke up and found my recorder ..

Hi All!

I managed to get Basic TOTM I in a surprise lucid this morning :D

You can find my journal entry HERE.

After going through June without earning my wings I am very excited to have them back in July :boogie:

I notice that am wearing a long Chinese dress. It looks a bit strange since I can't figure out why am I dressed like that. I take a closer look in the mirror. Not only that but I just look ridiculous, it is oversize, my hair is kind of weird too. This is a dream. OK, so finally I can do TOTM. I hug my bf's DC, hold like that for a while, then wait for a reaction. He doesn't do anything just breathes and there are some hissing-like sounds coming from him. He finally manages to whisper the word "something". I step back and look at him. While I consider him to be my bf he is a different DC now, more like Nicolas D'Agosto.

PS: I don't like Nicolas D'Agosto. I wish he had turned into Nicolas Sarkozy, then I could have punched him. :D Oh well, maybe next time!

REM and LD rebound

Wow, good job you guys!! I can barely keep up with y'all :happy:

I'm glad I finally got some wings. I don't think I've ever had them before. I've done the TOTM and posted it like two days before the next month so it didn't really matter but no one ever gave me wings. :( But I'm up for trying the other tasks for this month.

Awwwwww :blue: I hope that didn't happen on my watch! I know I've winged folks before even if it was just for a day or 2. Please make sure to PM me if you complete and post a TOTM and I miss it, no matter what day of the month it is. That goes for all you folks!

It could be worse.. You could be buzzing along up there at midnight on the end of the month and the wings disappear.
Hell what a ride.......

I hope I get lucky with another lucid tonight cause I'm going to be out of town until late Saturday. I leave tomorrow around 3:30 PM US EST so I can only post dreams tomorrow cause I'll be really busy while I'm gone.

You could say David Cameron also has an influence on TOTM basic (i) after the term "Hug a hoodie" is attributed to him following a tabloid newspaper headline back in 2006.

Which leads me quite nicely on to the basic task (i) for this month (July) itself:

Where’s the Gym? - TOTM - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

After just missing out last week I did hug a cat initially as it was the first DC I saw. I made sure of the task later on however. :P

I've been checking the tasks of the month for a long time, but just now managed to remember to do one. It helps that I had a lot of lucids recently. Hi btw. So there it is. The red part is the lucid part.

I am with my mother outside, and we are having an argument (can't remember what it was about) Suddenly, I am in her bedroom, sitting on the floor and she wakes up. She gives me money, saying it's a bonus for my birthday. Some is real money some is Canadian tires money. The money keeps shifting, and it makes me think it might be a dream. I pinch my nose, and I can breath through it. I become lucid at this successful reality check. I remember one of the tasks for this month, the hug a dc. My mother is the closest so I hug her, then ask her if she liked it, and she says "I don't know". I then wake up.


Hopefully I will be able to complete more tasks :)

Completed one of the minor TOTM, hugging.

Here is the link, 07-11-13 Sexy Tomatoes and TOTM - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Warning: This dream is all about me trying to complete my own personal advanced task, and is 2 pages long. So, to save everybody time, I put the small TOTM part in bold print.

It was actually a touching moment, the hugging part, and I am glad I did it. Thanks again!

Again I didn't punch a President but I had a lot of fun trying.

http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/wobl...fun-one-48489/

I remembered to do the punch the president. (or in my case prime minister) but I woke up before I could. here is the relevent part.

I go outside, jump and start to float. I realize it seems like a dream. I pinch my nose and can breath. I get lucid. i remember about punching a president in the face. I try to summon Stephen Harper, but I start waking up at the same time, and instead of punching in dream I punch in my imagination.

Still glad I remembered to do an advance task, I still got time before the end of the month at least. :D

O.O

these are like some of the most awesome tasks I've seen! I wonder what lava tastes like........hot?

According to Silvernighthawk, it tastes like cheese :teeth:

I tried working on hugging the first DC. I remember falling asleep with that in mind while listening to a mantra, but I could barely remember my dream when I woke up. :(

I'm on my street outside my house, a common place for my LDs to start. My dad is around there somewhere, trying to suck me back into whatever story there was supposed to be, but I ignore him. I walk around the nieghborhood for a while, and everything seems normal, oddly enough, except for the fact that the streets curved upward at a slight angle and spiraled into the air. I pull a marble out of my pocket and swallow it whole.

As I'm wondering how I'm going to fly now, my dad walks up to me holding a stepladder. For some reason, I grab it from him and ruin down the street and the street melts away, leaving me in a warehouse of books, with fences built at the back of it, each successively higher than the last. I jump on top of the ladder, then onto the top of the fence, then made a flying leap off of it to start flying. I land quickly, because I had other things to do.

I calm myself down and try to remember the TOTMs. Only one comes to mind, hugging a DC, and I turn around and see a guy I know and gave him a huge hug, then tried to remember the other TOTMs. I could remember that you had to punch somebody, but didn't quite know who it was. I wake up soon afterwards.

NLD: A bunch of politicians from G8 :shock:

NLD: It is the 5th of July in the dream as I am watching lots of fireworks in the sky

LD: I try to summon a firework from my pocket, but instead end up holding a brown purple pill that I struggle to turn into a mini firework as the dream fades. :P

I just completed a couple of the Tasks of the Month.

The dream starts and ends fuzzy, but I do remember the lucid part in the middle.

I was at my grandparents' home (This home shows up more than any other home in my dreams. I also dream about my childhood house. But I never ever dream about my current home).

I saw a group of girls standing on the neighbors' driveway. I went up to them. One of them recognized me. And smiled and called me to come join them. At the same time I recognized her as my childhood friend Jenny. I don't remember what happened next, but I was suddenly floating for them. I had wanted to show off my ability.

I think lucidity hit me at this point. But I don't remember how I got in the building that I found myself in next when I decided to do the Tasks.

My first thought was that I needed to find a volcano, but seeing that I was in a building, I decided I needed to do one that didn't require a huge change of scenery. I had to think for a moment. I had only read over the tasks once at the beginning of the month and I hadn't thought about them like I normally do at the time I do a WBTB. Then two popped into my head. I needed to hug someone then punch President Obama.

The building I was in was very large and ornate. There were official people walking around me. I looked to see if I could see Obama, but he was no where to be seen. But I had an idea. I would hug the next guy I saw and after I hugged them they would be transformed into the president.


So I did just that. I ran to a random guy and pulled him to me and hugged him. The guy just stood and let me. When I stepped back, sure enough, there was Pres Obama with a completely blank look on his face. Obviously the hug didn't do anything for him. I wondered if a punch in the face would. I have never punched anyone in the face in real life before, but I figured it couldn't be too hard since this was a dream. So I pulled back my fist a bit and swung it right into his face. I was glad that the impact didn't hurt my fist. I was also a little glad that Obama still had that blank look on his face. But then I heard all the security guys coming. I took off flying. The building was a maze. I couldn't find a way out, and everywhere I turned I saw guys with guns.


I was getting nervous. But I knew I was dreaming, so I should have control. An idea came to me. I would just make myself grow and break out of the building. So I did. I got bigger and as I did I pushed through the walls and made a big mess of the building. I finally stepped out and onto the street. I looked back and was a little horrified to see the beautiful building completely destroyed in one corner.


This is where I must have lost lucidty. Because I remember flying around and meeting with this guy that was supposed to be my dad and we were trying to get away from an alien invasion.


Fragments I remember: Reading a letter he had written that had to do with space ships that could help us escape.

Flying up to a building that had a balcony with a pond on it and me landing by the pond and looking in.

I not-so vividly remember having some amazing dreams last night. I wasn't taking it seriously, so when I got lucid everything went hazy and I didn't stabilise, so all I remember is successfully summoning Abraham Lincoln and sucker-punching him. However, I don't consider this a successful attempt as the memory is extremely hazy because I forgot about it when I woke up, and it was in an early REM phase so it wasn't really vivid or "good" by any stretch of the imagination. I can't even remember if I succeeded, and it was generally a let-down. :I

Well I finally got the President but not in the way I wanted, It's really pretty bad and I wouldn't want to take credit for it so I'll just put it over here'......http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/wobl...rorists-48592/

I dunno, I think kicking the head off a zombified president is like, advanced PLUS a bag of chips. :thumbup:
