Thread: Task of the Month for August 2014

I love the eyeball task! I am definitely doing that one. I better be sure that I'm lucid, though.

Congrats to Verre for being the first! I was reading it in the car and laughing.. DCs are so entertaining

Haha ikr! That one guy did it nonlucid and tried to put it back but it was all wrong :hurl:

This one is gonna be so freaking fun.

I will definitely try these ones in the case of a lucid this month. Anyway, the eyeball one got me shocked, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one!

Not sure how, but maybe I try it, only after making sure I'm really dreaming... Until now I never hurted myself on a lucid, only on normal dreams, at it was always by accident, never on purpose as far as I remember... Weird thing is that injuries always seem to grow, get worse, more gory... instead of healing. Or I just find one... then another... then another.... I wonder if I will pop my eye out, with something stick to it, and as I pull more and more I realise I'm pulling my whole brain out...

Does it have to be a bank? Lots of my dreams involve the grocery store I work at, and it'd probably be easier to rob them instead.

Good point.. since it's basic, should we have made it just a general robbery with a banana?

These are you guys' task suggestions, so it's up to y'all to debate the specifics. I'm just the tie-breaker basically.

Me too, there are so many ways to creatively interpret that, or to pull it off. I think it might take several bananas for what I have planned, but if I duplicate them from a single banana, then it's basically just using one banana. I don't think I'm even allowed to say what some of the ways of interpreting this task are...

Some grocery stores have banks inside them. At least mini-banks. In my opinion, if you ask them if it is a bank, and they say yes, then it counts.

Got it!! My eye, I mean...

Amazing experience for me, as I went straight from wake to dream on a WILD attempt that I guess was thanks to luck.

Spoiler for Small introduction as how I got there:

A bit of introduction for those interested. I woke up at around 7.45am. No dream memories. I put my ear-plugs on, and decided to try WILD, laying on my back. At around 8.30am I though on surrendering. Had a little water, and turned over on my side.

A while later I found myself there all dark, relaxed. Not sure if I was already dreaming, but I just though it might be the time for an anchor, so I started thinking on the song Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits). Eventually, the music wasn't imagined anymore. I started hearing it, very low volume, but it started going up, and gettin more clear. I decided to try getting up.

My room had light. I rubbed my hands as the vision was shaking and getting double. Once it went all clear, and seeing it was all too vivid, I decided to do nose-RC.

I remembered the TOTM about the eye. Even if I RCd pinching my nose seconds before, I did it again and as I could definitely breathe, I though to myself: "ok, lets do this...".

I simply led my right hand to my right eye, and it went out really easy, no pain, as if the eye was just "placed" on my face, instead of inside the skull. I did feel anyway the "extraction" as it went out, but no pain. In any case, I got out a white ball with little red veins, no optical nerve, blood, or whatever... It had the iris also. I turned it around while holding it with my fingers. It was white but not shiny, looking more like a ping-pong ball. I also tried closing left eye only, and right eye only, and I could still see with both eyes!

Then I tried to remember what was the other TOTM I though about before going to sleep, but couldn't remember, so I headed out to try having some fun (which I did).

It was 8.45am when I woke up.

(Now I remember that the task was the one about Photoshop. Will have to re-read the tasks again and try to burn them in my brain...)

Ok, here are my links,

Completed basic task: TOTM- Word-Biork - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Failed (Kind of comleted) advanced task (did not know what the story about the castle was, so made up stuff): TOTM-Failed? Did not know the story or characters. Still cool. - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Completed Bonus Task:TOTM- Photo Shop- Cars - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

I had tons of fun. Thanks for the ideas everyone!

So last night I was on my laptop, and I was thinking about a conversation I had with my friend about Lucid Dreaming. I remembered there was a really good website I was registered on, but I couldn't remember the name. After a little searching, I rediscovered Dream Views. One of my favorite parts of this website was the Task of the Month. I quickly checked here, and read all the challenges, which seemed pretty easy. Anyway, after I fell asleep, I remember in my dream telling someone about Dream Views, and I remembered the Task of the Month thing, but could only remember one challenge. Robbing a bank with a banana. I was only at a low level of lucidity, and the dream didn't have that much clarity. I think I still managed to get the banana to fire like a plasma pistol though, which was cool But yeah, I haven't had a lucid for a while, just wanted to share.
