Do you have great ideas and suggestions for the Lucid Task of the Month? We have decided to implement this new thread for you to make as many suggestions as you desire for the upcoming monthly lucid tasks. This post (the OP) will be updated constantly as new suggestions are given. People who have completed the TOTM / TOTY (who will gain access to the Lucid Task Club) will be voting on the suggestions for the following month, but every person can suggest as many tasks as they like.
Your DV user name will be shown at the end of these suggestions and in the TOTM thread as always.
In order to bring the best out of each oneironaut's skill and motivation, it is important to follow a few easy guidelines when making suggestions:
Basic Task of the Month: A Basic task of the month will require the oneironaut to have a lucid dream and recall an easy task to do. The Basic task will require little to no dream control. Please, make sure that when suggesting the basic task, it is something that can be done in waking life. Example: Drive a car. Ask a Dream Character what his/her name is. Play an instrument. Eat something.
Advanced Task of the Month: In addition to the above, this task will require some dream control and does not necessarily need to be doable in waking life. Examples: Drive into oncoming traffic at 200 mph and don't crash. Jump off a cliff and hit the ground, head first. Fly over a huge town. Visit the depths of the ocean. Use telekinesis. Mind control a dream character.
Bonus Task of the Month: For this task, strong dream control will be required. This task will earn two pairs of wings, and you need to earn them! Advanced dream skills will be ideal, to make it a good challenge. Examples: Crash the moon into Planet Earth. Morph into a giant and bring mayhem. Visit an alien planet and conquer it. Create a meteorite shower. Be the main character of a video game.
These are just a few ideas, but the sky is the limit! (Especially for the Bonus task.) Don't worry when you make suggestions. If your suggestion is too hard for the tier you propose, it will just be placed in a higher tier (eg. if you suggest for a basic task to become Superman, it will be added as an advanced task instead.)
By popular demand, common and uncommon holidays are usually suggested and voted to be tasks of the month. Tweaking these holidays into dream tasks can be a lot of fun. You can find a list of the most odd holidays around the globe here: 2015 Bizarre, Wacky and Unique Holidays.
Tasks do not need to be holiday themed; you are welcome to come up with your very own ideas and suggestions.

Reason: Updated suggestion list - 11/24/17
I got a few ideas! Despite never really trying a ToTM task myself, I guess it would be interesting to see a few of these. Btw is this thread only for next month's ToTM?
Basic: Ask a DC to tell you a joke
Advanced: Make it rain inside a room! (it can anything of your imagination)
Bonus: Find a spaceship, shrink yourself along with it and fly inside a DC's body. Try to come out? =P

Either/or. Suggestions that don't make it next month still get considered for future tasks.
I'm not going to categorize these because I feel like they could all be put in different places.
1. Travel back in time and visit somewhere important to you. Talk about how similar it is to reality
2. Find the nearest house and go inside. Describe what's going on (this could raise some problems but whatever )
3. Find a cat and transform it into a tiger. Try to make the tiger your pet and get it to follow you
4. Become invisible and play pranks on DCs
5. Communicate telepathically with animals/humans
6. Create fire/ice in your hands. Describe the sensation.
7. Spin around and teleport yourself to a random location. Describe the location and how it felt.
8. Go into a room and close the door. Tell yourself that while you were in the room, time stopped for you, but continued to advance outside of the room and it's now 100 years into the future. Describe what the future is like!
9. Try to resurrect someone from the dead and begin the zombie apocalypse. Are the zombies nice to you?
10. Control any of the four elements. If you choose earth, create a mountain right in front of your eyes. If you choose air, try to knock down something big (multiple trees, a house, a car) with just your control of the air. If you choose fire, try to start a forest fire (don't do this in real life, please). If you choose water, find a lake and empty it out using nothing but your bending skills.
Some of these are probably pretty bad just something I came up with in a couple of minutes.
Check your memory, did any suprising event happpen ? does the present make sense ? visualize what you will do when lucid, and how. Reality check as reminder of your intention to lucid dream tonight. Sleep as good as you can; when going to sleep, relax and invite whatever comes with curiosity. Grab your dream journal immediately as you awake and write everything you can recall (if only when you wake up for good). Keep calm, positive and persistent, and don't forget to have fun along the way

After doing a project on robotic exoskeletons, I had a good idea:
Advanced - Put on a robotic suit (like Iron Man) and take it for a spin. Describe what it feels like to be in it.
Guess I might as well add a few from my personal list:
Basic - Get a DC to help you write a poem/song. Bonus if you can perform/record it after waking. Advanced - Clone yourself, and then do something to/with your clone. Bonus if you can get both perspectives at the same time.
And I'll just throw in a one random one that I just thought of:
Bonus? - Shrink yourself down and get swallowed by a DC, and then describe the adventure you encounter inside their body.
Oh dang, just saw that RodRodRod already said something similar to this... Meh, add it if you want.
"Going through life worrying about the little things is like cooking with motor oil instead of cooking oil. Sure, you can still probably pull it off, but it'll leave a bad taste in your mouth in retrospect." - Me, apparently
- Take the red pill (from The Matrix) and describe the effects. (Originally suggested by Queen Zukin in the Lucid Task Club)
or, without the specific Matrix reference:
- Take a pill/potion that will reveal the ultimate truth to you. Describe the effects.
- Drink a vial of poison and describe the effects.
Advanced:
- Enter a room full of DCs and freeze time to pause them all. Move someone into an awkward/incriminating position, stand back, and unfreeze. Describe the DCs' reactions.
- Do an in-dream WILD: find somewhere to "fall asleep" and enter another lucid dream. Describe what happens, including any transitions and your end location. What happens when you wake up from the dream you entered?
Bonus:
- Dive into a painting and explore a world made entirely of paint.
- View the dreamworld from 2 perspectives simultaneously.
^ Oh, I just saw that Spellbee had a 2-perspectives bonus for one of his suggestions too.
Most of those were old suggestions of mine from the Lucid Task Club... I don't think any of them got chosen at the time but I can't remember for sure.
These would prolly count as bonus or advanced tasks:
- Travel into the past with the intent to change something in history. After affecting your changes, travel back to the present to see what's different.
- Fall into a black hole and report your experiences.
- Eat a moon rock. What does it taste like?
- Become a zombie and turn at least one other person.
- Experience the dreamworld without a body.
- Take over hell (or heaven) for a night.
- Upload your brain/consciousness into a virtual simulation.
- Literally make a mountain out of a molehill.
Find platform 9 and 3/4 at Kings Cross Station and run through the wall.
Ride the Hogwarts Express and try to find Harry.
Look into the Mirror of Erised.
Advanced:
When you're at Hogwarts, find one and look into a Pensive and relive a past memory.
Find an Invisability Cloak and create havock.
Bonus Task: Become Voldemort or a Dementor and torture your underlings.

Basic:
-Sing a song. Points if you can act out the lyrics as you sing.
-Climb a tree
-Take your pet on an adventure
-Jog as far as you can. Observe the changing scenery.
-Watch a comedy show (either live or on TV).
Advanced:
-Cook a traditional meal (on the stove or in the oven). Eat your food alone or invite DCs to have dinner with you.
-Have a conversation with something inanimate that doesn't normally produce sound (no phones, stereos, etc.) Books, tables, bottles, and toilets are acceptable.
I asked a DC what she thought the next TOTM should be (in this dream) and she said, "Get in touch with your emotions".
Here's the excerpt for those who are interested:
Spoiler for Excerpt:
I've been lucid goofing around for a while, very stable, and I remember that I want to ask a DC what March's TOTM should be. Mary Albright (3rd Rock From the Sun) and Leslie Nope (Parks and Recreation) happen to be in the group of DCs I've been hanging out with. Currently we're in Wal-Mart near the checkout lines. I turn to Mary and ask, "What should the TOTM the month be, for March?" I had to think a bit to remember the month lol. She looks thoughtful for a second, then looks at me seriously and says, "Get in touch with your emotions."
So here's my suggestion: Advanced (maybe Bonus?) - Choose a powerful emotion and try to feel it as much as you can. Project this feeling out into the dream (maybe by shouting or singing?) and report and changes or effects.
