I was just thinking about senses in dreams and listing which ones were most prominent for me (#1: vision, #2: "feel", #3: sound) and I thought about how I don't normally experience taste unless I'm eating or drinking something. I also realized I've never smelled anything in a dream! This shocked me. So, this suggestion: Basic - Smell an object which has smell in waking life (candle, soap, flower, food, etc.) Then a few nights ago my husband inspired me to this one: Advanced/Bonus - Enlarge a DC or shrink yourself and fly into the pupil of the DC's eye. OR, you can go to a mirror and fly into your OWN eye!

[SuckerPunch]

Basic Task: Pick a fight with a DC....and lose. Inspired by fight club it's also fun to think about for me because I've been hoodwinked, I've been robbed, I've been shot even murdered by dream characters (lucid and non) but I've never lost a fight with one. It would be unique on my end idk about you guys. Thanks

Basic Task suggestions -Go on YouTube and watch the Popular or Recommended videos -Host a sleepover with EVERYONE in the world -Read your friends' Facebook posts (or DV posts) -Exchange clothes with a DC -Go into someone's house and swap around the wires for all their electrical appliances; see what happens when they get switched on.

Basic - Smell an object which has smell in waking life (candle, soap, flower, food, etc.) To come to think about it, I haven't smelt a thing in my dreams/LD's either I think this suggestion would be really cool it's pretty easy to do as well.

[SuckerPunch]

Advanced: Rob a bank and get out of there before the police arrive. That sounds fun.

I thought I was being original but I just read where Dreamer had something similar posted in the lucid dares last year. My bad!

[NyxCC]

Make a DC sneeze. Bonus wings if you can make yourself sneeze!

[OpheliaBlue]

[20:15:33] <@OpheliaBlue> that would be a cool TOTM [20:15:37] <@OpheliaBlue> "Take a shower/bath" [20:15:43] <@gab^> ooohhhh [20:15:49] <@gab^> let's suggest [20:15:54] <@OpheliaBlue> ok I will now [20:16:04] <@gab^> now that I know my way around bathrooms and mirrors [20:16:11] <@gab^> and I love dream bathroons [20:16:14] <@gab^> and showers [20:16:21] <@gab^> especially showers [20:16:28] <@OpheliaBlue> hell YEAH

[Alien348]

Enter a big building, when you enter get lost inside it and make the entrance/exit disappear. Expect something mysterious to be inside each room. Also, you are not allowed to use powers or other type of control, even if something scary chases you.

[SuckerPunch]

Ok I'll try to redeem myself since I can't figure out how to delete my previous suggestion. Basic i- A mysterious animal (or creature) was attacking people and livestock in rural Nebraska. Experts have lost track of it and don't know what it is. Can you find it and tell us what it is? You may kill or capture but as long as you can at least just spot it and describe it you're fine. Help us! Before more people get hurt! Basic ii- Lure a DC into a different location and rob them of money or at least 1 possession. Bonus if you can spend or trade the items before waking up Advanced i- You and a dream animal of your choice (must be at least the size of a raccoon) must attack a evil dream character. Advanced ii- The government needs your help! They have discovered intelligent life on another planet and are concerned they may be a threat. Can you use your lucid powers to observe these aliens and let us know if you think they may be a threat? Bonus task- Go on a date with a celebrity crush of your choice then at some point you have to ditch them....you ungrateful jerk you! Who was it and what happened?

I thought I was being original but I just read where Dreamer had something similar posted in the lucid dares last year. My bad! It's fine to suggest it here too - my dare was just for Sensei anyway, so no-one else has tried it as a task.

[SuckerPunch]

Thanks Dreamer Didn't want you to think I was stealing your idea lol.

[Xanous]

Basic: Make friends with the monster under your bed.

[PercyLucid]

[Cobalt Storm]

Basic: Play your favorite video game. Advanced: Beat one level/section/zone/track/chapter/whatever in your favorite video game. Insane: Beat your entire favorite video game. Impossible: 100% your favorite video game. No cheating, which means no dream console commands(unless it's to fix something like a bug), and no credits warp or anything either.

[OpheliaBlue]

Suggested Task: Depilate a famous person DC and describe the reactions Whelp I finally looked up "Depilate" And I thought I was rough on dream characters O_O

[Ctharlhie]

Whelp I finally looked up "Depilate" And I thought I was rough on dream characters O_O I'm not a woman, but I think there's an ugly undercurrent of objectification/misogyny in Vagaltone's task suggestions: depilate a celebrity, carry out a smear test on a woman and then ask her out for a drink?? Not interested in starting a political flame war here, just, what the hell?

[VagalTone]

Not interested in starting a political flame war here, just, what the hell? Lol, i hope you are not really that serious here When i thought about the depilation task i was actually thinking about a man full of body hair, imagine ! And my smear test suggestion is heavily conditioned by my profession. I am specializing in primary care medicine and smear tests are part of my job and i actually find them challenging as you need skills to relax the woman and then find the cervix and then make the bimanual palpation - all if she agrees with every procedure. They are hugely important for woman's health and although unconfortable it is not really an agressive thing if done with care. Btw, i hope all women the best with their health and dont forget about your regular screenings as uncomfortable as they maybe.

I actually did feel somewhat uncomfortable about the pap smear task, just because it already takes a lot of convincing for some people to feel like the procedure is non-sexual (eg. my friends were shocked when I told them that I have mine done by a male doctor.) The task kinda makes it sound like you're saying, "Well, now that I've been inside of you, let me take you on a date." But hey, the weird/gory TotMs are sometimes the most popular! I guess we'll find out at the voting booth...

I guess we'll find out at the voting booth... my totm suggestion was actually a joke about that vague belief or suspition that some women have, which only makes my task a little bit more difficult. Trust me it is not pleasant to perform smear tests, i would be happy if no patient required that. There are also many perverts of course, and although it is sad, we can also joke about that. In fact, joking is a very good coping mechanism Edit: most doctors dont like to perform smear tests, gynecologic examinations. You find all kinds of unpleasant odors and is also somewhat embarrasing for a doctor, specially if the patient is embarrased, but that's something we learn to do with professionalism, and according to the unique personality of the patient. That said, i think my totm suggestion was perhaps a subconscious attempt to deal in a more relaxed and funny way with something that every complete doctor should know how to do - a smear test. I apologize if it seemed rude or misogyny. I wouldnt really waste a lucid doing that, i have enough in waking life lol

I didn't know your occupation before so I didn't detect the irony at the time. I wasn't offended or anything btw, I was just saying that I could see where Ctharlhie was coming from with the previous comment. EDIT: Oh, and I thought the depilate suggestion was pretty funny! Xanous dared me to shave off my own hair while lucid, so I did that a while ago.
