Thread: Task of the Month for May 2015

Great tasks!

I completed the bonus task last night! I chose earth as my element.

Spoiler for bonus task:

I looked at the land in front of me, preparing to make a mountain. My perspective changed as the dream-camera moved outside my body, so I was looking back at myself from a distance. I looked like a Simpsons character with a cartoony shape and yellow skin. I was surrounded by a bright glow and my body started growing. A magical wind swirled around me and I grew to be the size of a giant. The camera moved in a circular motion around me and then returned to first person perspective. I hadn't intended for that to happen, but I thought it was really interesting. I now felt like a god, looking down on the earth around me. I raised my hands and an area of snow started rumbling. A snowy mountain rose from the ground in front of me. It had a natural shape at first, but then it morphed into a perfect, smooth dome.
Time sped up and the world started changing like a time-lapse video. The snowy mountaintop was replaced by a busy sports stadium, with a giant carpark that covered the whole mountain. The natural environment around the mountain was also paved and turned into a metropolitan area, and car lights moved along the roads in fast motion.

Full DJ: Snow Dome

What a coincidence, I completed the bonus task last night as well!

Spoiler for The relevant bit:

I looked off into the distance at these hills and made them stretch and grow to colossal sized mountains. I then imagined that they were volcanic and I made them explode with fiery boulders that I made fall down all around me and they set this forest on fire. I walked past the forest as it burned. Molten lava was still raining from the sky but I wasn't worried about getting hurt by it.

I walked out of an orangish-yellow haze and into a city. I started flying at this point. I saw a large skyscraper and made wind blow up against it so hard that it fell over. I didn't watch any of the destruction that ensued from that, I just kept flying. I then noticed a large pond beneath me and I raised my hands so that my palms were facing it and all of the water drained from it almost immediately. I made a bit of the water fly around in the air for fun.

Destructive Dream & A Pretty City

^ Wow, you did all 4 elements in one dream!

I might try some other elements later in the month - it's a cool task because it can be done multiple times!

Well, as some of you may have seen, I was going to go on a hiatus. But my brain decided I'm too addicted to DV! So, I am going for the bonus! Forest fire ftw because fire is my birth element. Maybe I'll also try to smell the burning-ness of the trees.

Oh, and thanks everyone for voting my task in!

Alright... water element here

Emptying the lake = Undin Entite (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was flying and I believe it was to Geneva as I was going to be teaching there for a few days. Suddenly, I freaked out because I noticed I had no luggage with me. I also looked at a bag and apparently, i only had clothes. I did not have any of the manuals I wanted to give to my students and I neither had my signing bowls / crystals with me. I felt terrible until I noticed and wondered how did I get into the plane, and wondered about my passport too.

I did a reality check and turned lucid right away, as not only my hands were weird, but despite the plane flying and making its regular noise, the inside of the plane itself looked like a bus. I felt very relieved and very happy because it was all a dream and well, I was lucid. I decided to take a flight to make the dream stable as usual, so I went to the front of the bus-plane. Now, it was like a plane as I could see the locked cabin and the exit door was on the left, as usual on the planes. I opened the door and one fly attendant freak out (Funny how my subconscious knows opening the door of a flying plane is a bad idea...) but I opened the door anyway (which looked like the front door of a house.)

Nothing happened to the plane, I think it either vanished or flew away, but I glided through the clouds and even though I felted tempted to go to space, I wanted to do the ToTM Bonus, which was awesome this month. As I was flying, I saw a lot of mountains and a lake. I landed next to the lake and imagined water coming out from my hands. At first, nothing happened, but after a while, water and ice were coming our from my hands. I froze everything around and also flooded a forest. I was not sure if it was rightly done, I felt so, but I also felt it could be a false memory, so just in case, did the other way around.

I imagined water and ice again coming out from my hands and I pointed at the lake. I visualized a bubble absorbing all the water in the lake until I saw something like this:







I found it funny, because it is an enemy from a final fantasy game (a very nasty one actually, Undin Entite for those final fantasy fans) however, it did not attack me or anything, it was just floating above. I looked at the lake and it was completely empty, but funny enough, I saw what looked like treasure chests, even though I believe they were empty.

After a while of observing this scenic view, I saw a weird light in the sky and flew to it. I believe I lost both lucidity and recall from here.

I'm good at everything except the bonus task so it should be an easy month for me, Likely the whole month too at the rate i'm going

I hope this is not to early to post?

Spoiler for Task of the Month Basic i:

The dream started in my house. I remember it was about noon and I had my window open. I was laying in my bed. Outside, the sky goes from a light blue to a dark purple. That is not normal. This is when I decided to use the bathroom. This is where I did some of my RCs by looking at my hands. my fingers where fat and a bit distorted. In real life I'm not fat. My fingers are thin. The light was already on so I tried to turn it off but, it wouldn't turn off. I look at my reflection in the mirror and I looked like I was about 200 lbs. I'm thin. I already knew that I was dreaming however I thought I needed to confirm it.
So, I decided to go outside by jumping out of my upstairs bathroom window and once outside my house, I ended up in the front yard. I remember the weather outside was cloudy and a little windy. At one point I remember standing out in the middle of the road near the rose bushes and the fence that surrounds my house. I decided to do my First Task (Basic i Task) and I smelled the roses. I remember seeing the bees were buzzing around the Roses. The Roses smelt like a potent, sweet and spicy. Some of the roses didn't bloom yet. The grass smelled like newly cut lawn. I can also smell a strong order of tar.

Spoiler for Task of the Month Advance i:

This is when a big whoosh of wind blew. So, I decided to let the wind take me.. ( Advance Task i) I remember saying, "Taking where the wind blows! Nothing really matters to me! " Any who, I felt light as a feather as I drifted down the road. Like a dandelion seed. The wind took me down to Abby Road. I remember that I tried to avoid live wires though. Somehow, I ended up behind my crazy neighbor Candy's house.

Spoiler for Task of the Month Basic Task ii:

Next the scene changed. It was like a fade in? I don't know? I was back in bed but, this time it was dark. I didn't remember waking up or anything. All I know that I was on my bed and I don't know if this counts but, I remember feeling like I was laying in a bed of cats. I also knew there was cats under my bed too. I could literally feel them swarmming around in there and I could hear them crying and hissing. I remember looking at the clocked and remember seeing the time on the clock was wrong so, I looked at my hands and arms. They were turning transparent. So I lifted my shirt and I did not see my body. This is when I knew I was dreaming. This is when I decided to do my basic Task ii. I could hear the cats where annoyed or scared at the fact they didn't want to be in the bed. At one point, I remember seeing a three headed Calico cat appeared out of nowhere and trying to bite me in the right leg. It looked like the Polycephaly in the Greek Mythology but, it was a cat. One head was in the normal position and the two other heads came out of the sides of it's neck. It was black with Beige and white patches all over it. I told it to stop it. I remember saying to it. "Is that how you treat your mommy!" At one point, I finally made friends with this monster and we traded secrets.

I attempted.

Spoiler for Advance Task ii: With WILD:

This is when I woke up! DJ entry. Got up and washed my face.
• When did you go back to bed? Activity upon wbtb?5:00 am Wrote in my DJ and then I got up and washed my face and then went to bed at 5: 15 am
• How long it took to fall to back to sleep or enter the lucid dream? Not that long to enter a lucid dream.
• Technique used for induction if any? WILD Technique? Success.
• Was it a DILD or a WILD- WILD
I did Wild- Success. (Advance task ii?)

It didn't take long to a in dream W.I.L.D. I was staring at the ceiling. I remember that I felt really relaxed and at peace. I didn't fight what was going on with my body. It was almost like I was meditating in this dream but, I felt fully awake. A long with the feeling of paralysis but that didn't last. This is when I remember seeing a strange bright circular lights (like Ball lightning) which was descending from the ceiling? I remember that I was hallucinating. I recall that I could feel a strong vibration in my dream, and hearing a strange sound like a low-frequency humming, rumbling, or droning noise that got louder and louder. It was Like an ultrasound or MRI sound. Then I heard a sound like explosion- a flash of light, followed by a whoosh sound and everything went whoosh. I remember getting up off my bed and trying to turn my light on but, it would not turn on. This is when I decided to go to my mom's bed room. She was asleep in her bed. In real life, this is not her house. I live some where else. This is when I went to her closet. She didn't wake up. When I was little I used to hide in her closet when she was not there. This is where I found a place where I can go back to sleep again. Then whoosh! I was in a new place. I was with my friends and we were walking down the street. we were just coming back from a coffee shop when all the sudden. there was this weird DC character that came out of nowhere. This character was someone who I didn't like nor did I know him. He was acting like he knew EVERYTHING!!! I remember him trying to tell everyone that I was a loser and everything and that I had no emotional marbles in my head. I kept seeing the signs like for starters; the moon was full when it is just a waxing moon now and I kept seeing the sign like the 11:11 sign. Also the city was a city that wasn't from around here.
Any who, this guy was getting on my nerves. I tried to ignore his harassing and abusive tone but, I could not take it anymore. This is when I used telekinesis and made him hover ten feet off the ground. He said, "I'm still controlling me though!" You can tell that he was a little scared. Next I made him fly around the building like it was nothing. I did this by blowing air out my mouth like he was a light as a feather that got caught in the wind. This is when he was screaming bloody murder. Then he called me a freak. My other friends (DC) were scared because they didn't know what to say and you can see the fear was in there eyes. Then I made him spin around in circles counter clockwise. He was screaming so, I made him mute. I spin him until he disappeared. I was enjoying myself I didn't want it to end.. (EVIL LAUGH)

Completed Bonus Lucid Task

Spoiler for Bonus Task- Control any of the four elements. :

• When did you go back to bed? Activity upon wbtb? Wrote in my DJ and Drank water and then went to bed power went out.
• How long it took to fall to back to sleep or enter the lucid dream? Not that long to enter a lucid dream.

I remember I enter the dream, it was about noon-ish. It looked like a place in the middle of nowhere. It was a rocky place like the Sidi Bouhlel, Tunisia. I remember I felt hot. This is when I notice flames coming out of my hands. ( I wanted to do my BONUS task) This is where I knew that I was dreaming so I decided to fly somewhere where I can find a Forrest. Once I found a Forrest, I began to torch it. This is when I decided to clone myself and I remember fighting this other me. (Fire and ice) The war was crazy. I remember we flew at each other. The fire was blazing out of control. All the animals were running and trying to escape. Then My clone made it snow. Then I emerged myself with other clone and then went on by make a mount out of nothing but the earth. Well, it was a volcano. I remember the volcano was created by me image that there was an earthquake. The earth broke apart and then the faults lines mashed upward and together while the magma bellowed up and out the 50 stories high mountain/ volcano.
Next I remember flying like a bird, with no wings around my lake house. Actually more like a flying humanoid In the dream, it was a hot summer day, probably middle noon on a Monday because I took note that there were not many people on the lake on the week days. As far as I know? The sun was hot against my back as I landed on in the middle of the lake. At first my neighbor who live there all around next store was there fishing. He looked at me like what the hell? I was walking on water. He didn't know what was going on? He tried to do what I was doing, he tried to walk on water but, he felling. This is when I skipped on water back to the shore. Another part of the bonus task as I emptied the water out of the lake and made it vaporized in to the sky. It got cloud and it started to rain. Then, the started the wind blow so hard that it sounded like a ghostly wail. This is when I spun my fingers around clockwise and cause a F 5 Tornado!! The Tornado hit my ex friend Molly's house and demolished it. Then I could feel the power building and buzzing inside of my body. It was wildly zigzagging through my frame like a lightening storm. I had no ability to control it anymore in my dream.
At one point, I was breathing deeply, seeming to bring in fuel to the fire of the strange, warm energy I was feeling, and it grew and swirled, flowing up through my chest, down my arms, all the way to the tip of my toes. The wave of energy emanating from my body, simultaneously imploded inward and then lunged outward in a huge tsunami, enveloping everything in its path, vaporizing whatever it touched. It was a retina-shattering white light and ear-splitting explosion. I remember it was a massive explosion-blast of white light that streamed from the center of my body engulfed me in one, with brilliant energy.


Then I woke up!!

• Time log End time 8:00 am.[/I]

^^ Never too early! Congrats!

Good luck everybody!!!

Geez you guys are awesome!

Someday…

Nooooooo. I achieved Advanced ii the day before this was posted (and by accident )...

Spoiler for Accidental WILD within a dream:

In my dream (in which I was not lucid at all) I started feeling tired and decided to take a nap. Just before I took the nap I read about I new WILD technique, which I tried. After about 10 seconds into the technique I pinched my nose and realized I was dreaming (I was in the same, unusual, place that I started. FA, right?). In typical newb LD fashion I then immediately began searching for women... The real cool thing about this WILD was that it felt like I couldn't keep my eyes closed. Through my closed eyes I was able to see the house that I was exploring (the WILD within the dream) but through my opening eyes I was able to see the room that I had 'FA' in (the dream). It was as if 2 movies were trying to share the same screen.

The bonus task seems quite awesome! I thought that I'd probably keep to the basic tasks because sometimes my dream control isn't that great (last night I was trying to fly to an alien civilization but the stars were too far away and I couldn't fly fast enough or teleport so I decided to fly to the moon - a saw a big one earlier in the night - but as I looked at the place where it was it dissapears. My subconscious is a troll ) so most of the time the bonus task would probably take me longer than a month to accomplish. This time I think I'd be able to do it, though. I have controlled elements multiple times during my non-lucid dreams, so I think it would be easier to do during a lucid it seems really fun too, I am excited for tonight!

Did the bonus task, although it wasn't as impressive as I'd hoped lol..
~DJ Entry~

Spoiler for Excerpt:

I immediately think of the Bonus TOTM to use any of the four elements. I chose fire, so I look around for trees. There are many trees in the neighborhood right past the houses in front of me. I concentrate, raise my hand and swish it across the trees. As my hand passes over them, they're suddenly on fire. No explosive action unfortunately. I keep on swishing, turning as I go until I see no tree un-burning. Probably about 100 trees are burning at this point.

Thank you! Here is my DJ I forgot to link to here: DJ Task of the Month!

This is the month that I finnaly get some wings.

Good luck JadeGreene!

I want to complete all of these. 3 should happen without trying too hard.

Glad that my suggestion got through, not having access to the lucid task club, I just had to hope that my suggestions got through. Will attempt one tonight. Been doing amazing with goals lately, so I am excited to try a TOTM.

I managed to complete the first advanced task the other morning. Wasn't too hard. I completed the tasks for last month on 26 April, but unfortunately the thread was locked before I had the chance to post them. [Shrugs] Oh well.

Anyhow, I have copy/pasted the log entry below. The relevant parts are highlighted in blue.

Spoiler for Dream:

Dream Log Entry, Date 30.APR.2015


Yet again, I had a dream about mine hometown, which I have not seen for about a decade now (not that I want to ever again). I was in the garden of mine old house, which I spent the majority of mine childhood in. The entire scenery was covered in a thick blanket of snow, and the sky was clear and blue.
I walked around idly for a while until I projected mine Wings of the Heart and started flying--which instantly triggered mine lucidity. As I flew, I struggled to recall what the DreamViews task for May was.
Since it was the only task I could remember, I decided to do the wind task. I made a slow, practised landing in the snow, raised mine index finger and twirled it in the air, then said "Ventus Servitas". Instantly, a powerful gust of wind swept me off mine feat. I could feel and hear the wind blowing in mine ears. For several seconds, I drifted up and down in a cosine motion until I finally plummeted in the snow. I then resumed mine regular flying--but not too soon after, I reluctantly woke up.

By the way, you guys forgot to cut mine wings last month. [Shrugs] Not that I'm complaining; nothing great like having free access.

Basic Task ii - Make friends with the monster under your bed. (Xanous)

This task reminded me of an Outer Limits episode, which scared the hell out me when I was little. I believe it was titled "Under the Bed".

I set buildings on fire before, and once managed to summon a fire hurricane. Going for the bonus task this month!

Bonus task and basic task 1
Gaming, dreaming, listening - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Oh wait! Maybe not the bonus since I didn't do it like it said. Np. I enjoyed it anyways.

I can't wait to try basic ii and advanced i once I finally get another lucid. It's been far too long since I've tried to do a TotM.

Later start than I could have, but I'm looking forward to these!
I've used fire before in a lucid, so hopefully that bonus won't be too hard. I like the idea of making friends with the monster under my bed, hehe!
And a WILD inside a lucid... I wonder how that'll work if I haven't been able to WILD IWL.

I did the bonus task - water and fire. It was very fun. I am actually pretty surprised that I was able to accomplish it so quickly! Last month's basic task took me more than a week.

Spoiler for Dream: Bonus task:

There is a river nearby. It is not very wide - just around 5 meters accross. I remember the TOtM, so I try to water-bend the river. It doesn't work well at all, but I saw that the water wobbled a bit. I try to control a small blob of water and eventually am able to do at least that. This is a bit weird because I was much better at water-bending the other day. I then try to split the water in the river in half and it actually starts to work. I move the two halves away from each other and the right half is now completely gone but there is still some water flowing from the left side. I try to get rid of it, but by the time I almost do, the right half starts coming back. I decide that this is the most I'll be able to do with this river in this dream, but I feel like this was a pretty sad attempt for a bonus task, so I decide to do some fire-bending instead. Behind me are a couple of trees up a small hill, but I don't want this to be a sad attempt too and try to find myself an actual forest. I tell myself that once I fly up, I'll see that behind this hill is a big forest. I fly up and see plenty of trees to burn. I land back on the ground. I try summoning a fire in my hand. Nothing happens. I cup my hands and put them together (as if you just caught a flying insect in your hands) and try to summon a fire in there. I opened my hands carefully and saw a tiny, white flame, just a little bigger than a rice-grain floating above my palm. I started making this flame bigger (I doubt that it would have been able to set anything on fire before) and it grows until I have a big fireball around half a meter in diameter. I drag it behnd me as if it is a balloon on a string, setting every tree I pass on fire. After some time, I look around and see that there is no tree around me that isn't burning. I decide that my job here is done and remember the goal I wanted to do after I do the TOtM - get a dream guide.

I have the full dream with what happens before and after that in my dream journal, but I didn't post the whole link here because there was a lot that didn't relate to the TOtM.
