Task of the Month for January 2015

[PercyLucid]

Introduction: This topic is for the Lucid Tasks that are assigned by the Lucid Task Club and the On-Topic Administrator. Please attempt any or all of these tasks throughout the month. Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task. Your efforts should make interesting reading! This is required in order to get credit, it is no longer sufficient just to say that you did it. When you complete a task: go to your control panel, then to permission groups, and request to be in the group that applies to the task that you've done: either a basic or an advanced or both (specify in the description field if it was the bonus task). Of course you still need to post the dream here because we check. Whoever completes any of these tasks gets the following goodies until the end of the month: Your name will be displayed in ORANGE in the online members list at the bottom of the main forum page. You will receive a special title and badge. You will receive access to the "Lucid Task Club" which is a limited access forum for people that complete a lucid task each month. Members of this club can submit suggestions for the next month's tasks. Tasks for this month: Basic Task i - Set off a firework. (Marce) Basic Task ii - Chug an entire full bottle of wine and describe the effects - (dolphin) Advanced Task i - Ask a crystal ball what it predicts for the new year and report what it shows. - (Marce) Advanced Task ii - Only walk/fly backwards in a dream. - (Sensei, KestrelKat) BONUS TASK!! - Go to Freddy's at night and get caught - (Sensei) Refer to this here: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_..._at_Freddy%27s

Oops, looks like I was late for the vote, but I absolutely love those tasks! So, we can start working on these right away or do we wait until the new year to have the ld and complete them then?

[Sensei]

We can start now and try and get those wings before they get snipped!

[PercyLucid]

Exactly This was an old feature we had, so it is good to have it back! Every single month, we will have these released a couple days before the month ends, and try to keep our wings One more reason to get these tasks done

[KestrelKat]

Weeeee! Looking forward to trying to keep my wingses! Gonna definitely try the firework and crystal ball ones. Probably will avoid the bonus task though...

[NyxCC]

Awesome! Thanks Percy!

[KestrelKat]

Whaaah, I actually managed to do it! Got lucid this morning and remembered to do the firework one! I'm on my tablet and too lazy to copy over just the relevant part, so I'm just linking to the whole dream for now... Full Dream Maybe tomorrow I'll edit this with just the part with the task... But for now it's for me

[PercyLucid]

Awesome job KestreKat! You gonna be the only one this months that chains... I will try tonight.... but... 1 bottle of wine and 2 bottles of Champagne for just three people (and one of them barely drinks cuz he is 81) probably wont help to lucid dream...

[NyxCC]

Keep mine too! Did the basic task ii 2 times, first was half a bottle of red wine. Felt a bit tipsy. Second full bottle of white wine dream: I decide to do the wine task again, opening a few drawers of the nearby cupboard. As before, I find all sorts of bottles, but no wine bottles. I finally see a bottle of white wine and start drinking it. This time the alcohol is super strong and can barely swallow it. Effect-wise nothing special happens and the dream soon ends/transitions into another scene. And Happy New Year everyone!

Ok, I feel like I can attempt the January 2015 task of the month (at least one of them)...I'm going to start 2015 off with a bang!

[~Dreamer~]

D'oh, I was too slow to post my dream from Dec 22nd for my bonus wings. I'll have to be better with my DJ this month! These tasks are awesome, I'm looking forward to them!

Just remembered a non-lucid dream with fireworks I had back in september. It was pretty impressive.

Had a pretty good run at Basic ii: Spoiler for Chuggin Dat Wine!: Then I get up and ask Curtis where the wine is. He mumbles some cooperative-sounding gibberish and briskly walks towards the kitchen. As we walk in I see it has red and blue lights and confetti-ish stuff everywhere. Looks like a party. I follow Curtis and as he gets to the counter next to the sink he hands me a BIG brown jug that seems to have sticks, mud and swampy things inside of it. Some of the twiggy things are sticking out of the top. I almost just chug it anyway, but decide that'd be too gross lol. I try to imagine it as a more normal bottle of wine and it transforms into just that. It's still brown, almost like a beer bottle, but it has a sticker with rainbowy aztec-looking designs and some funky white lettering. I try to read what it says but the letters constantly shift before my eyes. Several times I almost pick out what part of it says, but then it changes before I can finish. Finally I read the main title which has much bolder letters. It says GESHO. I say this out loud several times so I can remember, then attempt to drink it. The bottle disappears completely as I lift it up, but I'm too determined. I fabricate the sensation of a bottle on my lips and pretend to drink it all anyway. I feel it going down my throat, even though there's no bottle. Afterwards I feel that warm bones feeling of being tipsy for about 3 seconds, then it's gone. Lame. I think to myself, "Maybe I'll try to get away with this one.." but it just feels too half-assed lol. I feel like maybe I could've pushed it and said that it counts, but I wanna do this fo REAL

[woblybil]

Hopefully I will do better this month than last..Even non-lucid's went sour last month

[OpheliaBlue]

dewinging tomorrow!!

[imazu]

OMG! Just in time for my wings to be saved! Lol, did the Basic ii: Full Dream Spoiler for Dat Wine!: Eventually this starts melting back into an image of my livingroom and makes me think to do a nose RC. Lucid! I stand and look around a bit, then stabilize. Only the livingroom light is on, again giving me a creepy feeling. I choose to ignore it. I think, "Well, now that I'm lucid, let's do that task." I go into the kitchen and open the bottom of the fridge, expecting to see wine. No dice. I open the freezer, also expecting to see wine. Nothing. But I'm not discouraged. I start to close the door so I can go somewhere else to look and I see a big beautiful bottle of white wine on the counter right next to the fridge. Silly subC lol. It's a very heavy bottle, the glass is thick. The liquid inside is a nice honey gold. The shape of the fancy white label looks like a mix between ribbons, a snowflake, and a leaf. I look at it to read what it says. There is some red lettering that I can't read, then in the middle is a dainty picture of a few pinecones covered in snow. Right below that in small black letters it says, "ALPINE SNOW". I believe this is the flavor. I take one drink and stop, holding the bottle. Then I think to myself, "I'm supposed to chug the whole thing, duh!" I say aloud, "Okay, lets try this again." I set the bottle down and will it to refill. It does. I pick it up and look at it again. The label looks much the same, but the flavor is now "T___ E D DILD SNOW". I think how funny it is that it says DILD. I start chugging. The stuff comes out at an alarming rate of speed, almost like a water hose. I swallow as fast as I can, but a lot of it just splashes out of my mouth and goes everywhere. I gulp a whole bunch of it down and eventually the bottle is empty. I had feared it would never stop lol. I discard the bottle and go outside, feeling quite normal. No effects for me. Now I've got my sights set on that crystal ball!~

[~Dreamer~]

I did the crystal ball task last night! Spoiler for advanced task i: I breathed deeply and tried to remember a task of the month. The first one I remembered was the crystal ball task. I swam down and stood on the ocean floor. I made circular motions with my hands, and a large crystal ball formed between them. I shook it like a snow globe and awaited its prediction. A blurry image started to appear. I tried to focus and 2 lines of words appeared... "Times are changing: Make farts now." I found that hilarious and wanted to remember it, so I decided I was going to wake up instead of doing any more tasks. Full entry here.

[WaltersDreams]

Looking forward to doing the FNaF task! Would it count if I were an animatronic and caught someone? Tonight should be fun...

[OpheliaBlue]

Ok I think I did the wings/dewings correctly with the overlap thing. Percy let me know if I missed someone. Or anyone let me know. Good luck everybody this month! I'm so going for advanced ii. And basic ii. Maybe I could start with the wine, then go flying backwards after

[fogelbise]

I love the chance to save your wings idea and the tasks also look fun to me! I want to try the crystal ball first I think!

[OpheliaBlue]

I love the chance to save your wings idea and the tasks also look fun to me! I want to try the crystal ball first I think! Agreed. Good call on that one, Percy.

[imazu]

Got the crystal ball task done with a fun WILD: Full Dream Spoiler for Creepy Crawly~: I see a couple of small crystal ball with no stands or anything sitting on a table that doesn't exit in waking life. I say, "Here we go!" and pick up one about the size of a golf ball. It's clear, but has little natural defects in it. I hold it up in the palms of my hands to the light of a nearby lamp and I say, "What will 2015 bring?" I stare at it and one of the little defects begins to change. It starts off as a tiny black speck and as it rotates and drifts around inside the crystal it seems to grow legs. It turns into a spider! The spider starts moving its legs and growing larger as it drifts towards the bottom of the crystal. I think, with a bit of fear, that it might come out and grow huge, so I quickly put the crystal down and open my waking eyes. Hm.. now it's time for personal goals :]

[Sensei]

Oh man... I need to try this new idea of mine. All 5 at the same time... only going backwards, start with some drank, ending with some Freddie.

[bemistaken]

Welp Lucy, you've done the impossible...you allowed me to DILD today! I haven't DILD in months so I will take any type of lucid that I can get. I was napping and I remember in my NL dream I was singing...and I mean I was singing like I was Beyonce! In RL I can't hold a note. I instantly thought in the dream, "Hey, I can't sing so how come I can sing now? I must be dreaming!" Poof! Like magic I am lucid. Only for a few seconds because I ended up in the void. I tried to visualize, but I only kinda 'swirled around' in the grey. Then I tried to remember the TOTM and I mistakenly opened my eyes but my physical eyes opened instead. Oh well...still ever so humble and ever so grateful!

[FryingMan]

Whew looks like advanced tasks all around. No "(interact with) a DC" tasks this month, eh? Looks like I'll have to branch out, assuming my massive dryness of TOTM-worthy LDs ends soon.
