Haha ^^ I know right? I think someone even honked at one guy who darted across the street. I always worry about sudden heart attacks as well.
However.... that cat in the middle of the scary girl video, I laughed so hard at that.

Pranks are fun but I never considered just how risky. lol And in the dog/spider video...the guy running up and down the stairs in a panic getting caught in the spiderweb could have fallen down the stairs. If I had to choose falling down the stairs and getting bruised up as opposed to being eaten by a gigantic spider I'd choose the latter. lol
I Try again :)

At least it uploads to my DJ..
Well I'll get labelled as a fogey but I do NOT think pranks are fun, I think they're irresponsible and stupid. People who do them are morons. Anybody who sets up fake stressful or dangerous situations either to shock, or for "research" to gauge reaction (who would help the person in distress?) deserves to get their blocks knocked off . My favorite videos are ones where the tables are turned:

Guys, I really see this more from a lucid dreaming perspective, how it'll look when we attempt the task.
Sorry those pranks caused so much distress for everyone. :(
I have no issues with pranking DCs of course, in fact I'm all for it. It's the waking life pranks that suck :P
Concerning the costume task, what happens if we put on the costume but nothing happens? Can we try to change the scenery to match, or do we auto-fail?
It's all about expectation. If you expect it to change then it will.
Suggestions:
Find a mirror and see yourself wearing the costume. Then walk through the mirror and expect on the other end to find yourself in the environment related to the costume.
Ps. You don't have to physically go through the motions of putting the costume on by the way; this might be too much work. You can just pick it out by saying "I choose this one" and then see yourself wearing it.
Pss. The panel would have to decide if this is okay ofcourse ;-)
I think managing the costume part of the task could earn basic wings, but it has to be the whole sandwich to get the advanced wings.
Haha.. it's the second day of the month yet, and I feel like time runs to fast for me! Getting too much stress lately. It's time to release the beast... The vampire one (I mean bloody one :D) could be a good option to bite some necks :P Long time ago I haunted a place in the shape of a vampire, the monks ran like hell :mwahaha: Perhaps I could add some pepper with a goal of mine... :offtobed:
Or add vodka and a celery stalk and we got us a Bloody Mary.
And a dash of tobasco if you're feeling frisky :)
Had a short lucid during a nap today, almost had the pumpkin one.
Spoiler for Pumpkin Attempt:
So that's how it's gonna be this month, I guess...
Lol your subC has a little mean streak :P
Good try though! I think your last approach will work the next time.

2 parts blood orange juice, 1 part Glengreens blue. (of course there is another way to mix it with Nessies, but where would I find those?) :D
Gonna get some blood! Watching through an anime and thinking about this I already had a vampire in my dream! Didn't get lucid or blood would have been easy. Will prolly get it soon.
If anyone needs help looking for a Boggart, you should look in the dark, unused corners of houses. Unused dressers and wardrobes are good places. Of course if you dress like a wizard and go to hogwarts, then there is one in the dark arts professor's office.
Spoiler for Non lucid vampire:
Oh my god! You and me and Alexa all had nonlucid vampire dreams last night O_O
I read the TOTMs before going to bed last night, and was really motivated by the basic tasks. I think I succeeded at the pumpkin one, since the task simply asks what you find inside the pumpkin rather than specifying that it has to be something unusual. I tried the blood task as well, but I wasn't entirely satisfied with the results, so I'll want to try that one again. (I actually really like being a vampire in dreams, whatever that might say about me! And this isn't the first time...)
My attempt at the blood task raised the need for a clarification, though. The word "cup" in the task instructions is unclear. Does "acquire a cup of blood and drink it" mean that one should acquire the blood in a cup-shaped vessel, or that one should acquire at least eight ounces of blood? I didn't succeed in either case, but I want to know what I'm aiming for.
The full dream log (long!!) is in my Dream Journal.
Here are the excerpts related to the tasks:
Basic Task I:Spoiler for Opening a Pumpkin:
Basic Task II:Spoiler for Monster Blood:
Edit: Oh! I almost forgot to mention. After I woke up, I was trying to figure out how much of the blood I actually drank. I had some carrot juice in the fridge, and decided that might be about the right consistency, so I put eight ounces of it in a glass and drank it. I concluded from this experiment that in the dream I had consumed about four ounces of blood. Also, it occurred to me that if you warm up carrot juice to body temperature, it might make a great blood substitute in that Halloween game where you blindfold people and try to convince them that they're interacting with icky objects (like skinned grapes for eyeballs).
When I originally envisioned this task, I imagined, say, a 8 ounce cup at least half full. But now that I think about it, the actuall amount doesn't really matter, so maybe it would be better the wording was changed to, "Consume some blood and report the taste." That way it would be easier on everybody while still maintaining the integrity of the task. Any amount is okay as long as you can taste it. No cup needed.
I hope to break my dry spell and get these tasks done!
-Incubation: On.
-Lucidity: Off.
Incubated dreams: A woman jumped off a tall building, her body is smashed against the floor and there's blood and gore everywhere. Apparently she was not dead and tried to wake up. My brother thinks she's just laying in a funny pose on the ground and tries to pick something next to her head. A piece of brain sticks in his hand. During the dream she turns into a fish and we fried it. I ate a piece, thinking perhaps it's not a good idea because of she took a lot of barbiturates before her jump. It's disgusting but for some reason, we have to eat it. A couple of dreams later, got trapped making fire which was forbidden in the zone, then we (including the forest ranger who caught us red handed) were drinking wine and some other liquors while some people are getting specially dressed for a country side party.
There was more, but I was taking so many FA notes, that I forgot some other related segments along the night.
Apparently I forgot to switch Lucidity 'on' in my subC control panel last night :cheeky:
Edit:
:-? Curious that I didn't read those comments after I posted last night.
:huh: Interesting that my lucid goal I may relate to this task was shape shifting into a gorgeous lesbian vampire and have a blood orgy with some colleagues :tongue: But the only lucid I remembered about it, I didn't dare to get into the room where a vamp was supposed to be. I was like, she will eat me like a snack :chuckle:
Loved it Verre :-) Thanks for sharing. I love the part you figured the creature must be enjoying it. lol ---> Although he was tense and rigid, he didn't fight back, and I concluded that he must be experiencing that peculiar pleasure that the prey of vampires are often said to feel while being fed upon.
I got the blood task done in one of my LDs last night.
