Thread: Task of the Month for October 2014

Hi everyone

So, this is my first post at dream views. I've been lucid dreaming for quite a few years but I've been having a rotten dry spell so I decided to up my game. I've been listening to the podcasts and reading a lot more about lucid dreaming. Boy did I break that dry spell last night.

So I discovered the monthly/yearly tasks yesterday (truly awesome concept) and I thought I'd give it a try. Here's how it went:

I was in a regular dream talking to a friend about lucid dreaming. I told my other friend beside us that she'd probably end up having a lucid dream just by hanging out with us. Anyway, in that moment I did a standing in dream WILD into a lucid dream in my bedroom. Finally, was my first thought. Then I remembered the monthly task and I walked over to my kitchen where a sheet was on the ground. I thought "I'll just check out my pumpkin under the sheet" when I pulled back the sheet a big old pumpkin was there. I pulled off the top which appeared to be already cut and found the usual pumpkin entrails inside as well as my car keys. So I figured I'd go for a drive. I grabbed my keys and went to my car and reversed down my drive way, trying to remember the other tasks as the dream seemed pretty stable.
I passed my shed and stopped the car, remembering the blood challenge. I went inside and found a tin tool box and thought "this is where I keep my blood" so I opened it and found a yellow plastic cup filled with blood. I picked it up and drank it. It tasted like blood always does in my dreams, it was thick and warm and the only way to describe it is "sickly". I'm not a huge fan haha. Anyway, I drank it and decided to turn into a werewolf. I chucked the cup away, felt the moon on my skin and watched my hands as my fingernails grew into claws. I attempted a howl and then went swinging through the trees with my new found strength. The dream was still really stable which was awesome. So I went into my neighbours house and found their closet. I then thought about a halloween costume being in there and opened the doors. Inside were Hermione's robes. I put them on and looked in the mirror and saw that my hair had grown all Hermione like as well. Then I heard people in the other room so I went in and decided they were Hermione's mother and cousin. I cast a Leviosa spell and said to my mother "look how clever I am" then I cast the killing spell and killed her and my cousin. Hahaha sort of an adventure I guess!
After that my awareness moved back to my own house, to a room that doesn't exist. I remembered the worst fear challenge and a large wardrobe appeared. Very much like in the Harry Potter movie. The doors opened and a sort swirling entity emerged representing a boggart. I asked my worst fear to appeared and it transformed into this strange wooden gnome. I was truly frightened of it and had some false dream memories of this thing haunting me. So I grabbed it and broke it into little pieces, my sister came in and asked why I was so afraid and I said "it builds itself again! it can't be broken!" I think the fear was to do with a sort of uncontrollable and creepy break from reality that sets my nerves on edge. Hahaha, anyway I asked for another fear and it turned into a type writer which said "lazy" on it. I'm a writer so that is quite terrifying.
After that I decided to wake up and write it all down.




I'm super stoked about this dream! I've never really used expectation that much but it seems to be highly effective. I would've like to spend a bit more time with each challenge but clearly I was feeling a bit over eager haha.
I'm so happy to be a part of this community, I can't wait to get to know you all!


(Sorry I'm not sure how to create those read more sections of a post)

Congratulations! That's one awesome lucid dream you had there! Thanks for sharing it and glad you broke your dry spell! I hate those too.
