Thread: Task of the Month for March 2014

lol NyxCC, nice

We should write a musical together in our lucids.

@ Sibyline - thank you! Yes, the part with the attire was very intriguing.

@ OB - thanks! That'd be cool!

I managed to complete basic task i last night, during the first lucid dream I've had in a while:

I became lucid in a dream about being at work. Deciding that there were better places to be in my dreams, I decided to escape out of the fire escape. Instead of being outside, I found myself walking down a dark spiral staircase into an empty garage. I left through a small side door out into the sunlight. I found myself in a large tarmac area, like a carpark without the cars - just a long row of garages and some shops further down.

Crowds of people from work started pouring outside through the door I left through. Everyone I had ever known at my job, past and present, came outside. Then loads of people who I didn't know started coming out too, and it turned into a kind of outdoor festival atmosphere. I remembered this task, so I went back to the garage and stopped a random DC who was on their way out.

He was an elderly black guy, stylishly dressed. I stopped him and just asked, straight out:

'I need to know: what is your middle name?'

'Eric,' he replied. 'Or something. I don't know.'

He slipped away from me to join the crowd. He seemed keen to get away, and I don't blame him - all the other DC's seemed to be having a massive party out in the sun. I'm sure the last thing he wanted was to chat with some weirdo about middle names.

I spent the rest of the dream wandering around, trying to think about what the other tasks were that I was supposed to do, but I had forgotten the others. I had a perfect chance to do the pinching task, but I kept thinking about dragons, which may have been from a previous TOTM.

I completed the first basic task of the month:

I had an FA in my room, where suddenly I see a bike frame on the floor and after a couple of reality checks I'm lucid.

I get really excited out of my bed, open the door and hover at low level, looking for people. It is stunningly bright and the green fields look awesome. Flying over a park where children play, I land and ask a boy who was there, "What's your name?". "Peter", he says. "And your middle name?". "Omikron" [which is the letter O in Greek]. I thank him and go speak to a guy about 40-ish.

I ask him "What would you say if I told you this is a dream?". He laughs. I tell him, "this IS a dream". He says "no", and he's smiling. I then go off to walk alone, I pick up a brown ball from the ground and attempt to lift it off my hand using only my intent. It hovers a bit off my hand, but then flies off somewhere. I guess my telekinesis skills need some more practice!

3/22
2:30am Damn'Damn'Damn....
I missed the best kind of lucid because I seldom get SP and I didn't recognize it and when I did it was too late.
I woke up in darkness and my room is lighted from the hallway and I said I bet I'm dreaming and looked for my hand and couldn't even see it and thought WOW. I'll go play faces in the mirror before I worry about tasks or having fun but I struggled to get up and didn't recognize it as SP so I just tried to levitate up and got a few inches off the bed and fell back with a crash that I figured woke me up and looked again for my hand and it was just barely visible but still distorted so then I thought of SP and laid real still and then looked and the light got brighter and it came back to awake, Crap!
I love it when I get lucid right in bed instead of becoming lucid in an already well developed story, Dammit-Dammit..

Actually I think it's a kind of salad dressing I don't like

I like that dressing!

The salad's not bad either.

I've been trying to DILD recently, but to no avail.

I wanna try that middle name one and DEFINITELY want totry saving Caesar. Maybe turn Caesar into a metamorphosing dragon? Or use alove potion on Brutus do he stays with his wife instead of killing Caesar? The possibilities are endless...

Basic Task I: This was a very short lucid, as I ran out of things to do really quickly, but thought of the TotM. So, I asked a DC of their middle name, where one answered with Sherman, and another said that theirs was Cobb. Heh, Cobb, like Inception.
Hehe, Inception references.

Awesome Dezz! And hey, weren't you just watching Inception last night?

Yea!

I found a good segment out of there which I will be using for one of my videos here pretty soon.

I hope it's the one where Yusuf has to pee, and then it's raining in the next level.

Alien abduction fail..
I have to call this a fail because I really wasn't abducted..

3/26
2:30am. I was watching TV and got really sleepy about midnight and went off to bed but I didn't fall right asleep, I lay there wondering how to do the Alien task and thought about the TV series "Lexx" I used to raid for a DC once in awhile and was just sort of there but things were distorted and I thought this was too easy, Only the dead guy was there, The Nutty Captain and "Xev" were nowhere around, The dead guy thought because I was a dream I might be a kindred spirit of some sort and kept following me asking dumb questions between some kind of weird singing I didnt understand.
..I was right below the hanging husk thing that "Leyka" the people eating plant girl lives up inside of and moved over just before she dropped down saying I smell food but I cant eat a dream and I'm really hungry. I said I came here for you but you dont have any girl parts so I'm going to peel you and pulled on something like a seam in a spandex skin around her neck and it came off and all her girl parts were underneath and said how's that and I was really proud of myself, Before I could start with her the dead guy went flat like a bandaid and I noticed a light spot on a wall like a portal and as I watched it got bigger until I looked thru it at my bedroom and wondered if I had ever really fallen asleep. Then I opened my eyes and looked at the clock and a couple of hours had passed...

Hehehe - reminds me of that LD I lost and ended up peeing through to a lower level, where the hide-out of a secret military mission guy was.

I finally completed the bonus task!

Spoiler for aliens:

Dream started in my room, I made energy flow out of my hand and I saw this blue light come from my fingertips. I knew it was a dream. This strange red being fell from the ceiling like a large drop of water. When it hit the ground it formed into the shape of a person. This being started messing with me a little so I made the blue light coming from my fingertips grow stronger and I filled the being's entire body with my blue light. He became my man-slave. I told him to close the blinds to test his loyalty and he did so. I told him to get me abducted by aliens and instantly there was a flash of bright white light and I was on an alien spaceship. There were little gray men, very traditional depiction of aliens, sitting all around me. They were eating tacos and burritos and hanging out, waiting for some action. I asked for them to get me a tons of fun burger (another thing I was trying to do). One of them said, "Oh okay!" and he went over to pick up an imaginary phone and fake dialed up a restaurant to get the hamburger and he had a fake conversation with nobody. "Why yes, I would like a tons of fun burger please. What do you mean you don't deliver to outer space? Well screw you buddy!" This alien happened to be very Canadian, and he was also kind of a dick.

Right after that they spotted another alien ship and i saw a zoomed out view of their ship (it was shaped like an right handed alpha-helix). Their ship somehow possessed the other alien ship and destroyed most of the life on board. I was now on this other ship and the aliens were raiding it, stealing stuff. I saw another type of alien, hiding, it looked like a half lion, half seal. I didn't say anything about it. The gray aliens disappeared and left me on board. The seal-lion alien jumped out and grabbed me, he was reasonably pissed. I kindly asked him for a tons of fun burger. He said that he had the technology to make anything out of pre-matter but he needed a blueprint. He asked if I had a blueprint, of course I didn't have a blueprint. I looked on a monitor and there was an alien commercial for this food stand/spaceship that could cook any food from planet earth! Was a cheesy commercial but I thought it was my best hope for getting a tons of fun burger, so I used a teleporter to get there instantly. I sat in front of the bar on a stool and the strange red being sat next to me.

So this other alien comes out, wearing a typical service industry vest and some oldschool ice-cream guy hat. The alien starts filling up a KFC bucket with chicken and I'm thinking no thank you. The red being starts to eat it and talks about how gross it is but keeps eating it. I ask for a tons of fun burger and the alien wants to know how I've heard of this, I tell him that they used to make them on earth and he becomes furious, claiming that it was he that originally created it. He teleports us down to a secret part of the ship where illegal/forbidden food merchandise is sold. Same kind of bar though. I also got to see a zoomed out view of the ship, it was on a giant manta ray space creature flying through space. While I wait the dream starts to destabilize so I relax and don't do anything, I'm just watching myself and the red being from a zoomed out view at this point. The alien serves us the food and my little avatar starts devouring it but I don't get to taste it, so I jump down with another body that I have first-person perspective of. I take a huge bite, holy shit it was delicious, worth all the trouble to get to it. I wake up.

Haha!! Great dream, wow. All of that to get a damn hamburger. They must be ridiculously good.

Congrats on the bonus!!

Fantastic way to do the bonus task! Oh, that secret part of the ship with forbidden food...

Who secretly DOESN'T want a Star Trek food replicator... Oh the possibilities. Oh and with a calorie removing plug in!

Just made it! I did the basic task i. In my dream, I saw this lady walking at a distance and I shouted over to her, "WHAT IS YOUR MIDDLE NAME", but we were too far to hear each other, but as she drew closer (we were kinda going parallel but converging), I asked again, and she said Judith. Then, a couple other dream characters showed up and it seemed like I was gonna get a line of DCs all wanting to tell me their middle names! but I wasn't actually even told another one.

Incidentally, I had a dry spell recently of dreaming, for various reasons. After all that, I've been adapting slowly towards polyphasic sleeping following this article: How To Step Yourself Down To Just 4.5 Hours Of Sleep A Day [CHARTS] | Business Insider

Last night was the first time I split my sleep in two, and voila -- lucid dream, and a task success too =)

Damn, Oprah! You just brought back a dream fragment from last night for me!

I was looking at my arse (as you do, and why didn't it make me lucid that I was able to do that?) and it looked great, all firm and with a healthy glow to the skin, and I thought, "Well, look at that! What a nice, perfectly shaped bottom! If I just tone up the backs of my thighs a bit, I'll have the bottom of a 17-year old."

Thanks for the recall!
