Haha ok thanks. I saw that Fris was a "WL friend" so I thought there was a misunderstanding of the tasks.

Haha no, ThreeCat and Fris just met on DV the other day!
He was asking a WL friend in the dream if he knew where Fris was.

I'm so impressed by ThreeCat's willpower to stick with the task rather than chase a beautiful lady!

Hey Dreamer, thanks! That is actually something I am trying to work on -- ignoring "distractors" -- so I appreciate the kind words

Brilliant, fogelbise, brilliant.

I had a great dreaming night but non lucid. AND ANOTHER NONLUCID ELEVATOR, this month is really kicking my a$$.

Somehow I didn't end up subscribed this month. Well, a week to go. The elevator is epic as they always misbehave for me. Hope I get a lucky lucid!

Did the planet task last night, and man was there some interesting shit going down on the planet.

Portal to the Blue Planet

I wanna get those wings so bad this month!

Naked!!

Spoiler for basic task:

I was lying on my stomach, and felt the demon climb on my back. Been a while! Must have been that midnight ramen. I tried to move, but when I did, he'd growl (my fan, distorted) and my fingers would get all tingly where he was holding me down. I fell back into dreamless sleep, then woke up and it repeated. This time I thought about irc, and just rolled slowly off the edge of the bed and stood up. He was still in the bed, writhing and twisting up the covers. I just smiled and waved and said " bye bye now! " and he waved back lol.

I remembered the naked task but none of the others. So I dropped my pj bottoms and pulled my shirt off fast and was naked. Felt good! So I darted out the room down the hall and into a strange looking livingroom. Oh yeah , my sight was a little weir until I got into the well lit livingroom. Suddenly Danny appeared, looking at me and my nakedness like a hungry wolf. I screamed and ran in a circle, and tried to catch me when the phone rang. He actually left and went to the kitchen to answer it lol. I tried SO hard to remember the other tasks, but nothing

Oh-Really ? This is what happened to me this time...

7/26
6:00am I had eaten salty ramens before bed and then found myself at home ninety miles south of the city and noticed I didn't have any teeth so I hopped on a bus to the dental clinic in the city with a 1:00 o'clock appointment and they told me it would be an hour wait so I went out Flying around eaters row eating pizza, hot-dogs etc then back to the dentist at 2:00 and they were worse off than before so I went back out for abit and came back and the office had moved to a new place and saw the receptionist dragging a girl up there saying "hurry-hurry" and sort of thought I might be dreaming so I flew up to the new place and it was closed at 3:00 and I said WTF, If this is a dream I don't like it so I looked at my hands and they were dream hands and the buildings were crooked and I tried to figure out the best way home, I couldn't fly in the crowded city too well but there was an elevator to the sky so I said oh-yeah,the TOTM;s although I was really more interested in getting out of that horrible place, The elevator was an aluminum platform that went up a clear angular tube on an aluminum track to a metal skyway/flyway above the city and it was small so I tossed away a heavy coat I was carrying and got in the tube and it shot me to the top in a second and as I got out I noticed I was naked to boot and people were pointing so I grabbed a rag from a painter and wrapped it around my waist and tied it then went flying down the metal highway toward an aunts house where I had clothes and then thought why bother "Home" instead and woke up vowing from now on I would find a local dentist....

(Bonus Task)

I'm at my friend GenericLDer's house, we are sleep deprived in the youth of the day. Some 4am spaciness as we lazily sit on the couch, he is playing a text based MMO and I am listening to rain sounds on repeat. I remember reading the bonus task of the month and think to myself this is the perfect chance to attempt it.

"What do you want to do for the bonus task?" I ask quietly.

"I don't know man... I've always wanted to slay a dragon." he responds, still focused on his game.

I hatch a scheme to make this interesting and smile slyly before putting it into action.

"There is a game, like the one you are playing now it is text based."

He stops typing for a moment and listens intently.

"In it I am a mage capable of controlling reality by casting spells..."

"Nice, nice" he says intrigued.

"We are playing it right now, and I have only to use my magic to teleport us to the mouth of a stone cave hidden in an ancient forest of tall trees. They are so tall that their trunks disappear into the clouds, leaving nothing to hinder the gentle mist-like rain drifting down and over us. Steam Billows from the jaws of the ominous cavern, rushing forth in a deep rumbling growl. From beneath my heavy woolen cloak I ask slowly with a chilling calmness... Are you ready?"

"Uhh I don't know man."

"Just remember that it's a dream, you'll be fine." I turned to look at him, he still looked sleep deprived, slouching in his crumpled t-shirt and sweatpants.

"What?"

I started casting the spell to summon the dragon from the depths of an ancient slumber. From the steaming cave a gargantuan burst of fire billowed forth, it's heat nearly scalding my exposed skin.

"What the hell man?!" GenericLDer shouted as he stumbled back covering his face.

A deafening rumble echoed from the cave and it began to shake, showering the loose stone to the ground. Soon it was just a glowing smoking pile of rubble, but it continued to shake with increasing intensity. The ground around us began to churn in and terrible upheaval of earth and flora, and before us climbed out of it's own deep pit the fearsome and long forgotten slumbering stone dragon. It began to stretch it's wings, shaking loose the soil from the dull grey scales of solid rock, knocking the immense trees over with a thundering crash. It lowered it's head and looked us right in the eye.

"YOU PATHETIC CREATURES DARE WAKE ME FROM MY SLUMBER?!"

GenericLDer, apparently still annoyed from being breathed on quickly retorts in a sleepy but patronizing tone. "Look at this noob; afk in a pvp zone." he says with a pitying chuckle and a shake of his head.

The dragon reared it's long neck and threw open it's jaws to let loose a towering flame towards the sky. Above the clouds I noticed a orange glow, and realized he had set the forest on fire.

As burning wood and ashes begin to rain down from sky, Generic get's even more angry and runs at the dragon still garbed in his pajamas. He screams a blood curdling battle cry and attempts to punch the dragons giant toe with his bare fist. He pulls back and begins rolling on the ground while holding his fist and yells in agony.

"His def level is too high man, I can't hit!"

That was about when I realized he wasn't lucid at all, and with a swipe of the dragons foot was thrown into the huge chasm from when the beast had come.

"GENERIC! REMEMBER IT'S JUST A DREAM!" I shout toward the pit, despite thinking he's already lost.

The dragon looks at me from miles above and speaks softly in it's rumbling voice. "I am surprised that you fools dare think yourself a challenge to me. I am one without pity, for you are to me as an ant would be to you, and I have no remorse for such mortals."

Suddenly I hear that familiar battle cry echoing from the depths of the rubble. A blinding light began emanating from the ground glowing brighter as the scream became louder. Suddenly I saw GenericLder soar into the sky towards the dragons face. He was wearing beautifully decorated golden armour and dragging a giant shimmering blue sword behind him. He reached the dragons neck and ran vertically up it with a savage speed, growling so angrily that the dragon himself began to panic. Stone arms crashed against their own body with the intensity of someone attempting to swat away a deadly insect. He nearly knocked himself out trying to slap generic off own face. Yet moments before the crazed dreamer had leaped from the jaws of death in a daring but graceful front flip, pulling the sword in front of his head to bring it crashing down over the nape of the beasts neck.

Everything was crashing around me, burning trees, others torn up from the roots by the collapsing headless body of the dragon. Earth and dust and leaves being tossed into the air only to rain down in a chaotic confetti of the surprising victory.

Generic rode the disembodied head of the dragon like a crash-landing airplane, and it hit the ground in an explosive shower of dirty mulchy leaves. But moments earlier he had leaped in an insane somersault, rolling over the ground towards me, jumping up at the last moment to give me a high five.

"Bro I owned that noob!"

"Good job G." I said with a pat on his spotless golden plate armour.

"Thanks for the tip yo, I almost forgot It was a dream." Generic told me whole heartedly, but the moment of peace was short lived. He knelt to the ground, stabbing his sword into the earth and for a brief instant there was not a sound, even the falling debris paused on their way to the ground. I managed to see him stand up before he was already miles away in the sky leaving behind a thunderclap of air rushing in to fill his place.

I swear before I woke up I heard his voice echo from the distance.

"G G!"

Oh, I did the naked task the other night, I almost forgot to post it!
I'm catching up with my DJ soon, I've just had a crazy week moving house. I have all my notes ready to go.
I'll post again when the entry is up, I just thought I'd leave this here as a reminder to myself.
I also attempted the planet task and found signposts to a mirror planet of the blue one in INeverWakeUp's dream - this one was called Red Planet.

^^Congrats on the elevator dream woblybil!

Yes-Yes, By all means have some more "Ramens"
7/27
6:30am... I had some more last night too, Love them ! (But)
After several failed attempts to sleep I ate the Ramens and got up at five for a few minutes then back to bed working in a woman's car lot putting a car up on a ramp for display, But it was cockeyed and was going to fall over but I had to pee right then and thought it would wait and hid behind a car and started to wiz and the owner woman came around the car and caught me so I stopped and ran behind another car to wiz again and she came around that car and caught me and this continued hide and seek until I was out of cars but a long ways from out of pee and back to the front of the lot to the car on the ramp and she was on one end and I on the other wizzing away when the whole car display tipped over and fell down into a pile of junk with headlights pointing up,steering wheel on top and gas tank over there and me washing it all down until I woke up....

Yes! My first month on DV and I accomplished Advanced Task i: elevator!

Wow at this thread! You know, it's been 7 years since a totm thread got past 8 pages. I think it's because y'all pick and vote on the tasks. Hence task CLUB

Same! I haven't been lucid for a while, so if I can get lucid in the next two nights, I will definitely be trying the elevator task. If not, oh well, I know there will be some awesome tasks for next month!
