Task of the Month for March 2015

Hey, after like forever without a TOTM, I got the mirror one last night. I kind of messed up the details of it at first, and spent a while just putting my hand through the mirror and other random stuff. But then I actually went through it, and had a pretty funny experience.

Spoiler for Advanced I:

I somehow reappeared, and decided to go back to trying for the portals. I found a clear spot on the wall, but instead of the pointing and drawing, I just decided to point until a small hole appeared on the wall, and then I tried to pull it apart. Instead, I managed to pull the drywall off. Inside the wall were the wooden studs, which had little termites running all over them. I thought that was kind of disgusting, so I moved to another section of wall and tried two more times, with much the same result. Finally, I tried changing it up one more time. I pointed at the wall with one hand, and then drew a circle around it with the other hand. This actually worked surprisingly well, as the outline of the circle I drew even showed up on the wall. When I completed the circle, it suddenly changed into a large circular mirror. This one was large enough for me to actually get into, so I ran a full speed into it. It offered little resistance except a little tingling, but then the scene went white, instead of the black that it usually fades to.

I had a false memory of someone on the forum saying that running through mirrors takes you to the spirit world. As I kind of waited for the scene to reappear, I wondered if that was what had actually happened. But then the scene started to appear, and I noticed it was a 16-bit video game of some sort. It mainly showed a map of “the spirit world”, which looked a lot like a map from Final Fantasy or something. At the bottom, a dialog box appeared, and actually showed my thoughts on the screen. I was kind of weirded out by this, and decided it probably wasn’t worth it, so when the box asked me if I wanted to enter the dream world, I “clicked” no. The scene now faded to a 16-bit version of my room in 3rd person. I could see my avatar in my bed. A little health bar over him showed that he was about to wake up, but a strange lady walked over and sat on his chest. This led to a somewhat humorous Game Over screen, with the big words “Sleep Paralysis” flashing on the screen. I thought this was more funny than scary, so I laughed until the scene went black again.

Full Dream.

Huh, that is rather humorous lol. A lady sat on your chest? What was she like?

I didn't really feel her sitting on my chest, it just felt like I was watching a third-person video game. Besides, she was in 16-bit pixel art, so I didn't really get a good look at her.

She kinda had the vibe of the girl from The Ring, but I wasn't really that afraid of her for some reason. Maybe because of that 3rd-person detachment.

Wing me plz! The month is wasting away! :armflap:

I completed basic II. I really wanted to do basic I, but my thinking was seriously impaired in this dream and all that I could remember was basic II. A strange LD in the first half of the night that began with lucidity in complete darkness:
Lucid #32 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

I am going to knock out basic I before the end of the month!

Haha sorry FM!!

I lost you at the page turn :P

Ahhhh, that's better, not so nekked-feeling now. lol @ the tricky page turn :P
edit: post #3k!

So how do I know if my TOTM dream was wing-worthy??? Posted it up here a few days ago and followed the directions :uhm:

Completed Advanced task I
I wish my mirrors really all acted like this...

3/15
6:45pm After Sunday dinner I napped awhile then got up to pee and laid back down thinking about the mirror task and napped again for 30 minutes and was in a long, Narrow bathroom naked. I could only partly see in the 2 of three translucent mirrors over a sink (one was missing with a clean spot on the wall where it had been). I could see a reflection and also partly see thru them. Then a whole bunch of young girls started changing in the room behind me and wailed "the lights don't work so I tried the switch and switched bulbs around with only a blue glow and thought "Ahaa,Lucid time" And went back up on a chair and right out thru the mirror to the next room and then paddled quickly back around the hall into the bathroom again

Spoiler for The fun part:

where I could see the naked girls up close and then back to watch them in the dirty mirrors again and tried to clean them, I used everything trying to clean them,Window cleaner, Water, And finally 409 but they still had spots where someone had painted decorations on them when one beautiful, Dark haired girl wearing only an open shirt and underpants,Smelling like perfume and horny as hell came up on the chair I was standing on between me and the mirror I was cleaning and started putting on lipstick and makeup while rubbing me with her butt as we talked about their big party tonight, I don't know what happened to her underpants! I just helped her with her problem from behind until we blew up still standing on the chair (I don't know why we didn't fall off either :P ). Then another girl was still whining "The lights don't work yet" so I floated off in back somewhere watching the girls to see which one I might drill next and

then woke up with really vivid recall.

I'm loving this month so far..... :yddd:

And I spent last night in a bizarre collection of Harry Potter themed scenes. Trade!

Damn straight "back…again"! I'm amazed you had the self control to risk going through the mirror in the first place!

Ah, another tricky page turn! :P

basic i - take a truth pill - only partial completion
basic ii - enter house and describe - completed (wings for this pls)

advanced i - teleport through mirror - completed again, but already got wings for this one

basic ii - completed
I see that street ahead of me and DV house and one next door have their front doors wide open. I laugh and enter the DV house.

First room is small. It has 3 beds with light green bedsheets. Walls are also greenish or bluish. I realize it's some kind of a sleep-over house. Safe house. Next room also has 3 beds and at this point I start to recite items I see out loud, soo I remember them later.

I love Mondays

Hello there :-)
So I'm walking on a road on my dream and I notice a little mirror on the ground, the size of a car side mirror. I think to myself "hmm... I have a lucid task to do with mirrors". I check for lucidity, and sticky finger in my hand.... I realize I'm dreaming. I am
Lucid now and stick my face in the mirror rembering that I need to transport myself somewhere. As I enter the mirror I see a young women dressed in deep purple suit. Her hair is in a tight ponytail. She is in a place that is wide and well lit. I don't have clarity as to the rest of the space. I think if finding the potion in the first TOTM but then remember I can do only one task at a time.
The rest of dream is not lucid, and I can't recall if it took place before or after i gained lucidity.
Thanks dream views! That's so much fun!!

I completed Basic Task i & Advanced Task ii! :superman:

The Pill of Truth! - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

I finally got around to posting my other DJ, and a new one from last night.
This was the third time I tried the house task - I didn't journal the other 2 because they were lower-level LDs.
The first time, I found myself in a baby's bedroom; the second time, I was in a hospital with a zombie version of AnotherDreamer.
I wanted to try again while I was fully lucid, which I did last night. :)
Here are excerpts of all the tasks:

Spoiler for Basic i:

I remembered that I wanted to do the pill/potion task. I had been incubating a red pill like in the Matrix, because I figured that would be an easy item to grab from my pocket. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a big red capsule. I put it in my mouth, but (just like in waking life) I was having trouble swallowing it. I saw a large cup of Coke resting on a platform above me, so I flew up and drank it to wash down my pill. As I did, all the people in the foyer disappeared. I floated back down to the ground, but to my surprise, I fell straight through the floor. I found myself floating in an empty void, and I realised that the "ultimate truth" was that the physical world didn't exist - consciousness is all we are.

Spoiler for Basic ii:

I came across a house that looked like an ancient stone ruin, covered in moss and plants.

http://i.imgur.com/1D8lMUj.jpg

I walked towards the entrance and was greeted by a friendly animal made of plants, that looked like a pterodactyl with a dog's face.
I entered the house and followed a long stone hallway. The floor was almost entirely covered by small bushes, and some of the walls were covered too. Another plant-animal ran past me - this time a regular-looking dog.

http://i.imgur.com/SciKlDU.jpg

The hallway came to an end unexpectedly. There were no other paths or rooms, but there was a large throne at the end of the hall. This was also covered in plants, including a giant topiary teddy bear/cat. I sat down in the chair and it began vibrating like a massage chair. I don't usually like massage chairs, but this one felt amazing, and it somehow made my whole head feel all tingly too.

Spoiler for Advanced i:

I looked around the foyer and saw a formation of 9 small mirrors, but as I moved towards them, I realised they weren't reflective. I guessed they were just some kind of decoration. I looked behind me and saw a full-length mirror. I looked at my reflection to make sure this was a real mirror, and then I ran towards it and dove through face first.
I came out the other side floating near the ceiling, so I could see the room below me. I grabbed onto some kind of chandelier and inspected the room. It looked like a cross between a huge bedroom and a thrift store. It was all purple - the walls, bed, and embellishments, and it had a lacy purple drape hanging near the bed. The room had a mystical feel, and I got the feeling that the inhabitants might be into some kind of witchcraft.
There were 4 young women sitting on the bed below me. It seemed like they might be about to do something sexual. I realised they hadn't noticed me on the ceiling, and I had a voyeuristic urge to just watch them from afar. :rolleyes: They didn't do much other than talk, and after a few minutes, they looked up and saw me.
I floated down and spoke to them. I noticed that 3 of them had very strange eyes - different mixes of blue and brown, like a bright blue ring around a dark brown iris, or one blue and one brown eye. They told me something about them being aliens.
One of the girls lit up a cigarette, and for a moment I wondered if it was a joint. IWL, I am highly sensitive to marijuana, so being around it is a source of stress. At first, I felt a bit of panic rise up in me, but then I realised it would be a good opportunity to practice being calm in a situation like this. The cigarette didn't look like a joint after all, so I summoned another DC. He walked in and asked if the girls wanted to swap the cigarette for a joint. They accepted and passed around 2 joints as I worked on staying calm. I noticed that the smoke didn't have a scent, so I tried to make it smell, since that's part of what triggers my fear IWL. Before I managed this, I saw that another mirror had appeared in the room. I decided to leave this scene and see where the mirror took me.
I ran and jumped through, and found myself back in the cinema foyer.

Spoiler for Advanced ii:

Soon after, a small group of people arrived. There were 3 faces I recognised: AnotherDreamer, Bro, and an old friend, Sam K. I put up my hands and froze them all. I moved towards them, but Sam unfroze and started pushing against my side and wouldn't stop, like his character was glitching. I wondered if it was coming from a waking life sensation of Dreamy cuddling me in bed.
I affirmed to myself that I had control, and re-froze Sam. I ignored his character from then on, and worked with Bro and Dreamy.
I did the first thing I thought of: I moved Bro's hand down Dreamy's pants and cupped his hand around Dreamy's bare bum. :chuckle:
I stepped away and unfroze time. Dreamy and Bro started jogging like they were in the middle of a sports training session, but they both noticed their positioning and Bro removed his hand. They exchanged a very awkward and confused look, but neither of them wanted to acknowledge what had happened out loud, so it wasn't spoken of. :lipssealed:

Full DJ entries are here and here.

I actually tried the Mirror portal at the beginning of the month. I was trying to summon a dream character, I ran and jumped in the mirror and asked for the dream character. Once I jumped in the mirror I started falling, I landed in an old worn out looking room, it was empty and floor and walls were made of wood. The dream character was lifeless on a bed, then I woke up seconds later. Still working on summoning people lol.

I think I finally completed a task!
for basic ii

Excerpt

Spoiler for Spoiler:

So I went looking for her, and at this point my lucidity began to decline, I noticed the environment changed and got to thinking too much about it and about finding her. TOTM I went to the next nearest building. I walked through a room full of spooky halloween props that were moving, had flashing lights, and made sounds. there were a lot of skeletons and just skulls and i thought one would jump out to scare me, but it didn't. I recognized some parts from a dream before. there were rooms that were blocked off by plexiglass and had small cave entrances to them from the other side. At the end of the main room was the showers again, except the room was way bigger, and duller in lighting. The room i was walking through to get to the shower was the basement of my fraternity's Annex property, a barren room here with concrete floor, ceiling, and walls with low lighting. That doorway down where the shower was was usually a file room, but in the dream a shower. I tried to bring Carly back but i couldn't and lost my lucidity when one of my friends said he needed help with a document thing.

full dream:
Lucid 4 and 5!DILD 3 and 4 (March 19, 2015) How I expected my early Lucids would be like - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

WOW! You had a busy night.. I love plant animal dreams. :yddd:

Knocked off the advanced mirror task, better late than never right? I think this is my first time getting both basic and advanced done! :D

Spoiler for LD:

2. false WILD advanced TotM - mirror teleport
I am sat in some kind of reclining chair. I relax and tip back, further and further. I tip past the point of no return and realise I am falling back, but in slow motion. I am still falling and decide I must be WILD transitioning. I start rolling through the void and eventually emerge in my bedroom at home. I dive straight through the window and start swimming through the air with strong, physical feeling, breaststrokes, and grab hold of the tree outside my window. This is without a doubt the most vivid LD I have seen; photographic lighting, a bluey purple, predawn, murk; a fine misty rain hanging in the air; beads of water shining on the leaves of the tree. I can feel every subtlety of the branch I hold, the coldness of it, and of the street lamp nearby, that I grab. I start touching down my arms, feeling so embodied, amazed that this can be a dream, I'm so present and this feels so visceral, I have to have sex! No wait, there was a task... Mirror teleport! I dive back down, and through the window of my living room where there is a large mirror. Inside there are christmas decorations everywhere, and the homely feeling is great. Without stopping to think about it, I fly to the mirror and make contact. The surface has the property of mercury, just as I had practiced visualising while awake. I pass through easily, but when I emerge out the other side I have not teleported but am in same scene from which I just came, but dark and insubstantial, a mirrored double of shifting shadows. There is also a feeling of palpable dread. Having completed the task I am now not sure what to do. I try to phase through a window again but go into the void and wake.

Awesome job folks!!

April's 2015 ToTM voting booth is open! If you have wings, fly to April 2015 ToTM Voting Thread
