Thread: Task of the Month for February 2015

Oh yeah, I forgot we're doing the early thing now to keep from being clipped.

I think I'm definitely looking forward to the storm and microwave tasks. The candy one also looks appealing, as the candy could even have crazy effects - Violet Beauregard, anyone?

I like both the advanced tasks very much! They are quite inspiring for me...
If I brake my dry spell, I will be sure to try them!

Oh man, totally forgot this was up here.. lol. All distracted by the competition! I'm almost surely gonna get my wings clipped..

NEW: Do you have ToTM suggestions that you would love to get chosen? Now you have the chance to suggest new tasks of the month clicking (I will add here the link once it goes life on February 1st) and if you complete these tasks, you will be able to vote on those suggestions!

I think I like where you're going with this. So now everyone can make suggestions, but can only vote if they get wings, am I right? I think that's a really good way to get more task variety.

Enjoy!!!

Inspired by this weird smiley that I've never seen anyone use:

Love is in the air and all turns pink

Now we're talking…! Hmmm the tasks don't seem to reflect this. Well, it does say "naughty," so….

It's Karma, It has to be........
I just woke up from a nap with the Russian actress I planned and guzzled the wine on the bed stand between rounds thinking to get wings for a couple hours and look what I got!..... More work!
Although I'm sure "FM"and myself can find something naughty to do in a hurry

When I suggested that one I was especially thinking of you two. Hopefully you can get your wings this month and get back in the swing!

These tasks are great, especially Advanced Task I and Bonus Task. Definitely going to try them!

Just barely made it for Basic i!
(I can't believe I made it without clipping twice in a row... I'm probably gonna be dry for a while now or something)

Full Dream

Spoiler for Do something naughty, blame a DC:

I landed and looked around. I seemed to be in a sort of bazaar. Good. Lots of DCs. Then I started to think of what "naughty" thing I would do... I saw a woman in a long dress, so I came up behind her and lifted her skirt all the way up, then scooted over a little, so that when she turned around, looking angry, I could simply point at whoever was next to me. I didn't look to see who was next to me, though. When she looked at the person standing next to me, I also looked ,and realized it was a little boy. She narrowed her eyes and told him "That's RUDE." The kid was unphased.

I giggled a little bit, and then went to one of the stalls, wondering what they sold here. I was trying to think of things to do to get points for Sensei's competition, and remembered my next three-part task: changing an object. Bonus points if it was something from a show or book or something. I saw a bauble of sorts, it was pink. I picked it up and pocketed it. The stall owner saw me do it, and got angry, and I said, "It wasn't me. It was this guy." Patting the shoulder of the person next to me. "This guy" turned to me and yelled, "You know what FUCK YOU." And ran away. I liked blaming DCs.

Congrats!

I've been incubating for tonight Microwave ftw!!!

I'm going to try the storm one next, and then the microwave if I get another lucid!
And then on to starting Task of the Year >:D
I'm hoping January hasn't just been a fluke and that I'm actually getting a lot better at ludic dreaming, finally.

Haha @ your DC-blaming rampage there KK

And congrats for keeping a set of wings!

Thanks! It'll only hurt when my gold wings get clipped, but I can endure it...!

I only thought of it before but now i'm sure When I do that something naughty i'm going to blame Kestrel

Ps: Blaming the kid was really kool......

^^ haha great, I don't know why but profanity in dreams just seems so FUNNY. The "irony" of it all is that I *hate* swearing in waking life, I never do it in conversation, and can't stand hearing it. You'd never know that from reading my DJ, though….

(dewinging tonight)

Microwave bonus done!!

Finally after a few weak nights, a good one. I still forgot to write one dream down, and can't recall it.

Somehow I was in a big house with my wife, I believe that the house was in a small village and there was a barn outside. As I was walking around the house, there was a wall that was literally breathing. It would move like breath and I was a little afraid. There was a tank of gas behind this room and I fear that the whole room was full of gas and about to explode, which it was why the wall was moving. As I walked closer to the wall, I could feel waves of energy, like a massive amount of pressure and suddenly, I heard an explosion. I was in the middle of nowhere, thinking I died when I suddenly turned lucid because I realized the whole non-sense of the situation. The dream quality was decent but I still decided to take a flight in order to make it more stable, however, I decided to fly to space, as it is something that I truly enjoy and I have not been able to make it decently lately. Flying came very easy to me, it was very cloudy outside but soon I could see the blue sky as I flew above the clouds and a few moments after, I started to seeing the stars and some strange shapes around that were moving.

After flying for a while, I started to think about the ToTM, but I was having a hard time remenbering it. I felt it had something to do with finding a planet or something, but I could not remember well. As I kept flying for a little bit in space (even though there were clouds around like if it was earth, but it was space as it was black with stars) I remember one personal dare that I forgot to do which was to kick Dark Vader's butt. I imagine he would be around me somewhere, but I really did not see him and neither saw a spaceship. While I was floating, I imagine the Death Star, I wanted to try to summon it moving my hands a few times without much success. I then imagined that it was right behind me when I turned back. As I turned back, there it was... even though it was not like the "real thing"







Around the Death Star there was like a massive purple-black dark mist. It was foggy and I could feel the dream quality lowering. I rubbed my hands to keep anchored to the dream, as I had literally nothing to hold (which is what I prefer) I did not feel comfortable flying through that mist, as it happened many times that I woke myself up after going through some thick fog or dark stuff. I intended to teleport, something normally is easy for me, but I wanted to teleport inside the Death Star and find Darth Vader. I placed my hands in front of my forehead and "made strength" (I do not know how to explain this, something similar like when in Dragon Ball Z they pump up, but without a scream.) Suddenly, I saw a lot of lights, like starship alike and I saw Darth Vader right in front of me. He was holding a gun (yep... I know... weird...) and it was kind of a normal gun. I tried to transform into Luke without any success. I tried to summon him, but I realized I had to kill Darth Vader myself.

I tried to throw an energy blast at him, and once again, as usual it failed. I really tried hard, instead of just throwing the blast, I imagined the energy coming out from inside my hand. I felt like my hand burning, but also like being cut at the same time, it was not very pleasant but a thin orange alike beam came out from within my hand hitting Darth Vader. There was an explosion and I heard like a scream (I assume Darth Vader's) and then, I saw a lot of smoke and there were like small black pieces of plastic, they looked like plastic pieces from Dark Vader's helped. I felt it was a pretty lame way to kill him, I wanted to do something epic but oh well, it is a dream and sometimes can't help it.

I decided it was a good time to go bak to Earth. My dream quality was good and I felt I could do a lot more stuff. I flew away from the Death Star that now it had a sky similar to Earth and I really do not know exactly how (dream randomness I guess) I was flying already above Chicago downtown, or at least, it looked similar:







I recalled I had another personal dare to make a thunderstorm and create a blackout. I imagined electricity coming out from my hands and I felt little sparks around my hands, then my entire body and then there was some random lightningbolts falling all over downtown. It was a similar thing like when in the game Hyrule Warriors Ganon is summoned. There was some fire and I saw a few buildings that were out of light, creating a blackout. However, it was more of a destruction than a blackout, but I felt satisfied.

I kept flying for a while, a few moments I felt I was going to wake up, but rubbing my hands prevented my awakening. I believe I might have lost lucidity for a while here, because I was in some sort of store, I believe it was a blend of a grocery store and a Bed, Bath and Beyond. I was talking with a few employees, maybe doing a customer service test service or something. Until I turned lucid again because I realize that I no longer do any mystery shopping. I saw that I could score some points using Telekinesis. I rose my hands and I imagined a few beach tables there were in the store raising and moving around. At first I could only get them to shake, but after a while, they levitaded and I believe there was other items too, even though it was not of a a high quality now. The employee asked me what was I doing and I told her to just shut up. She said she was going to call the manager and get me fired (okay... whatever...)

I left the store and I was in a familiar shopping mall. I realized that I have been dreaming for a long time and still did not do the ToTM and I was going to loose my wings. I could not remember the tasks, but only the Microwave task. I went into a restaurant looking for a microwave. It was a Japanese restaurant I believe. It had some decent decor and a fish tank. I recalled I had to eat a gold fish whole, and well, some of the fishes looked similar to a gold fish, just bigger. I grabbed one and surprisingly, it did not try to escape and I ate it. It tasted like an oyster, including having the same texture. It was gross so I just swallowed it without chewing it. I felt grossed out for a while. I saw one of those waiters computers and touched it. I could see some stuff from my own personal computer and then suddenly it turned into a slot machine.

I went to the kitchen and even though there were employees, they ignored me. I saw a huge door where the walk-in fridge is supposed to be, but I pretended it was a microwave. Upon opening the door, I only found frozen food, but there was like a long aisle inside the very own refrigerator and it lead to what I believe was an employee lounge. I saw there was a microwave and some toys laying around.







I tried to get in, despite being the size of a normal microwave. I did put my head inside of it and I imagined I would push myself in it. I felt suddenly like if my legs were hanging and getting smaller, until I was able to push myself entirely inside the microwave. It felt a lot bigger once I was inside, so I probably have shrunk. I believe the microwave started by itself, because I heard the noise of the microwave and I felt it was getting very warm. I also felt a little dizzy for some reason and the whole dream was fuzzy, but nothing really happened other than that. However, for some reason I could not get out from the microwave, and I wanted to do more things.

I wanted to go back in time, and I did the same thing I do in non lucid dreams when I something bad happens, which is closing my eyes, jumping very hard and thinking I went back in time. I was again at the shopping mall.

I wanted to look for Sensei to ask him for a duel and I pretended I would find him in the shopping mall. He (thank you subconscious) told me, "Thanks, I just got 7 points because I am meeting a team mate." I told him that I already had a dream with him and I explained him briefly the other dream were we fought pirates. I also told him we needed to do a duel and we started looking for a room in the shopping mall to do a shadow game. There was a store called Game Empire (that I know from real life) and I asked them if they had a room for a shadow duel. From here, I recall litttle, but I believe I lost lucidity ad shortly after I woke up.

Meh. I may go for the storm and microwave tasks. We'll see.

Hey guys! I wanted to increase my motivation a little bit so I thought a tomt was just what I needed! I checked the totm's for January last night before going to sleep and, luckily, I spontaniously became lucid during the night! I became lucid like three minutes before my alarm went off (I setted the alarm for 6:20am just in case I didn't wake up naturally for a WBTB).

Spoiler for Basic Task II:

I was having a dream in wich i was at a friend's aparrment. There was a random dishwasher at the middle of the apartment and I noticed there was a bottle of orange juice that got some dish washer water in it. I told my friend about it and, out of nowhere, he started to freak out, "man get rid of that before my roommate gets here!!!". I freaked out trying to get rid of it and accidentally broke something (the fosit?) and water started to shoot out everywhere, something crazy happened! My friend fixed it and I said, "please tell me that has happened before, or was it my fault?" He told me it happens all the time and (reliefed) we all started laughing (another friend of mine came)...
The I said, "man I really wasn't expecting something like this to happen today... And then (in my mind) might as well do a RC now..." Looked at the time, looked it twice... LUCID and really feeling euphoric because of it!. The LD looked so vivid!!

Fully Lucid I flought out of the window and quickly remembered about the tomt's... I wanted to find a chick to do the naughty one but I found myself at my mom's house out of nowhere so I decided to do the Valentine's Card one. I went outside to look in the mailbox. I opened it and it was filled with mail, I looked through some random stuff first but then found a Package decorated with Valentine stuff. It was a very big regtangular box, too big for the mailbox. I opened it up and there where two hockey sticks wrapped up in something with a big Valentines Card in top of it. I noticed the hockey sticks had a brand, it was "Mahumbara" and the logo had the picture of a Lion, this was the randomest thing ever because I've never played hockey in my life, nor am a fan of it. Then I saw the card, it was sent anonymously and it read, "I wish you a very happy Valentine's day to you and your companion Daniel..." (And it kept going) I bursted out laughing because this was literally the randomest thing I have ever seen!! Who the hell is Daniel?!! Hahaha. It had a super long paragraph so I didn't read it because I thought I was going to forget...

I found that really funny/random... i then looked through the mail for more random crap (I found some more) but the alarm woke me up...

Sueño completo (full dream in spanish from my personal DJ, haha)

This TotM thing sounds fun! Let's see if I can get one of those basic tasks done. A little incentive goes a long way

Basic task i is gonna be interesting...

Did Basic ii: Agent Mulder Attacks From Behind...
I had some retardation about remembering the text on the card, then things got a little spicy..

Spoiler for TOTM:

I turn around and the Agents are still there, standing together and watching me. I walk up to them, saying, "Mulderrrr, do you have a Valentine's card for meee??" He seems to think for a second, then he gets a look of recognition and reaches inside his big jacket. He pulls out a Hallmark-ish card and hands it to me with a friendly smile. The front of it is a simple picture of a twilight horizon. There is a line of text above the horizon, and one below. The one above says something I can't remember and the bottom one says, "Sparkle, Trickle, Too!" Lmao. I stupidly get the idea that if I write this down I'll remember it better, so I go to an end table and find a notebook where I jot down what I've read. I look inside and read a few more lines, which I also write down, but don't recall now. I become satisfied with the amount of text I have recorded and recall the strangest candy TOTM.
