Thread: Task of the Month for September 2014

I managed to watch What Dreams May Come by accident. I had never heard of it before. I don't have a TV, but got sent to another town for work, and in the hotel room, I just turned on the TV randomly and it was on, somewhat close to the beginning. It was really good, but I had to wait until the credits came on to find out what movie I had just watched. There's something about having no idea where the movie is going to go, not even what type of movie it is, that makes it more interesting.

Maybe if I think about it enough, I'll have an easier time finding Robin Williams in these next few nights!

Also, some of his standup comedy from the 70/80s is good too.

Okay so last night I had a lucid dream. It was really fuzzy. I was with hubby and showing him perks of lucidity. I started off by inserting myself within a painting as one of the characters in the painting. I could see myself from a third person view while also being the one in the painting. It was strange. Then I remembered the toilet task. Before I knew it I was standing inside a toilet. I have to say it was really uncomfortable because I think there was stuff in the toilet if ya know what I mean Then I also remember the water being yellowish :disgusted: so all of a sudden I feel myself spinning and the spinning grows faster and faster until I'm going under. The rest is a mystery. All I remember is blackness. This lucid dream was really fuzzy. I don't think I'll try flushing down the toilet in any more lucids lol I do remember thinking about the shoe task but I didn't get around it. 3 more days until the end of the month. Hope I can make those two happen (Robin Williams and shoe task).

Good Morning Vietnam is great.

I was not too good this month but atleast I did the fortune cookie task.

Spoiler for totm:

I am walking down a street wich is very silent, I can see a dead end far away. The sun shines and there is not a single cloud at the sky. For some reason I got sponteanously lucid. First I just enjoyed looking around and exploring this nice little street and all its gardens. Here and there people worked in thei gardens, wether it was digging, planting or anything else. I was impressed how detailed the plants were. I was able too see every single leaf and some had purple boulders of them on their head. When I reached the end of the street I remembered my fortune cookie task. A nice bank made me think that it would be a nice place to summon a fortune cookie there. I turned away from it and turned back...nothing....again...nothing. I started to talk with the dream: "Come on, you cant be serious!". Then, the next try, a nut appeared on the bank. "Well, we are getting nearer to it but this is still no fortune cookie!" Then finally it appeared, it was even took out of the package and already torn apart so I just had to take the snippet. What it said was very hard to decode. Word from every language I know were mixed together with some that dont exist at all. After a short while I had something like "It is good to train okayish things but a bad sailor will never reach its destiny." So what does that tell me? I guess it is meant to be like "It is good to train things you are already good at, but remember there are skills you will need more and maybe you havent mastered them yet...".

Well, after that I woke up being pretty happy.Maybe I can do one more task, who knows?

EDIT: Ooops I thought [SPOILER] was the tag for a spoiler. Sorry for that long text.

Fixed it for you. You have to add [Spoiler=whatever title] for it to work.

Cool fortune by the way!

Hah, I did a last months task (Banana Robbery) but it's a really long story so I'll just put it over here http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/wobl...rt-raid-61073/

Well, it's going to be one of my last attempts to do some other task of this month... or at least get lucid once more before the month is over!!!

"It is good to train okayish things but a bad sailor will never reach its destiny."

I really like it, ExothermReacton - also your interpretation!

Robin Williams

Last night after gaining lucidity from a false awakening, I was able to attempt the Robin Williams task. I have made it a point to RC every time I wake up at night. I wake up maybe 2-3 times during the night to either use the restroom or just when I finish a dream. So I woke up in my hypothetical bedroom only to look at my hand and realize my thumb and pinky were missing...boom...I'm dreaming. So I remember the Robin Williams task and decide it's time. I wonder how to summon Robin so the first thought I have is to go to a window. I cried out his name, "Robin Williams!!!!" It's nighttime. The next thing I know I'm sitting across a table from him. The table is one of those patio tables. We are outside on a beach. I had already anticipated what I wanted to ask, which was for some advice. So I ask him if he has any life or relationship advice for me. He gets very upset and does not answer me. Next thing you know I embrace him and we are flying above the ocean. I tell him, "I love you very much".

During the day I had finally gotten around to watching "What Dreams May Come". It was a tragic but beautiful movie. I'm thinking that the tempo of the movie and the circumstances of Robin's death :-( had something to do with his response. I don't know if the task counts because I never actually got a verbal response for my question.

On another note, I'm glad I got lucid! I had another lucid dream after this one in which I did try to do the shoe task. The only thing I remember is grabbing a pair of heels that had laces on them but nothing else. I did not complete it.

Thanks! Decoding this text was nearly a pain because of this horible mix of languages and wanna-be languages. Additionally, it is some kind of hard to look at a text in a dream and keeping the text stable. But I really wanted to report something here so I couldnt give up.
