Task of the Month for September 2015

**kilham** · 09-17-2015 05:06 AM

I come back after some busy months that kept me away from DV. Last night I entered again to see this month tasks and I decided to go for the basic fart one, but instead I did de planet one and HOLY F#$%@ SHIT!!!! It was one of the most profound experiences I’ve had in my life, It’ll be difficult to describe in words what I felt in a couple of seconds but I’ll make my best attempt.

I noticed I was dreaming and suddenly all the kids that were around me transformed into my dogs, there were other dogs too. I saw a small plant and I tried to transform it into a tree of apples, it changed before my eyes into a small tree with very small apples the size of cherries, I couldn’t believe it!, I haven’t been able to do that before, I usually suck at dream control but I was very happy because it was the first time I could make it, I reached out to taste an apple and it tasted exactly like an apple, then I gave a little bit to my dogs and told them: “I’m still lucid, I need to do something exciting like a ToTM…”, I thought about the fart one but there was nobody around, well… I was surrounded by many dogs, but they wouldn’t care if I farted. I saw a mall at the distance but I didn’t want to walk all that distance because I knew that my chances to stay lucid by the time I got there were almost none. So I stayed there in the parking lot and shouted to the dream the other task I remembered: “ I want to become a planet”. Honestly, I thought it was not going to be possible to make it since I’ve been trying for months to become an elephant with no success, but what happened next was awesome!

I began to float in the air, feeling like I was becoming bigger, and while I was floating I said “I want to become the earth!”, suddenly I was not me anymore, not with a human body, but something much much bigger, unbearably bigger, there’s also the detail that my subC (or whatever the dream maker is) likes to add some kind of suspense and high-volume soundtrack to the experience.
When I stopped floating I had a glimpse of some part of the earth seen from the space, it was becoming a terrifying experience because I felt the huge force of the oceans in me, I felt all the destruction happening and at the same time I felt all of the life inside, feeling love for both, I’ve never been pregnant but it also felt something like that. In that few seconds I understood how really small I am, a human life/consciousness is nothing compared to the level of consciousness of a planet, if the earth really has a consciousness like many people say, it’s definitively light years more evolved than a human consciousness, it was really unbearable to feel all of that, it reached a point where I couldn’t stand it anymore and woke up abruptly, it really was too much, it was like trying to put that immense amount of energy/consciousness in a small human container, I felt I was about to explode if I stayed a bit longer.

I have mixed feelings about this, it was one of the most scariest/awesome experiences I’ve ever had.
This dream completely changed how I feel about me as a human, about the earth, about many things.

Congrats on your ToTMs

Some awesome dreams indeed!

Head to the following post for instructions and for a link to the voting booths (it is up in the clouds, the helicopter´s broke down so you need to fly with your wings to cast your ballot! No wings, no votes (who said that politics where fair

Good thing this is not politics though

)

http://www.dreamviews.com/lucid-task...ng-thread.html

Good luck! And the voting booths are open a whole week, so you got time to earn your wings and fly to the voting place. They give some nice peach rings up there and a DV´s badge with "I voted"

Don't forget to request per the permission's group. I only saw one in the past couple weeks.

I did the basic fart task earlier this week, although the reaction wasn't as exciting as I hoped.

I was in a dark, quiet house where my parents were apparently sleeping.
I pushed out an enormous, loud fart, hoping to wake them up, but they didn't seem to stir.
I proclaimed, "It was meeeeee!" and started laughing.
They still didn't wake up, but AnotherDreamer was there and he asked me, "Do you think you farted in waking life?"
I replied, "I don't know, but we'll find out soon..."
(He confirms that I didn't. )

This sure sounds like fun, I'm gonna try this out if I'm lucky enough to become lucid this month! :3

Well if you're saying this counts, I'll say mine counts, too!

(Still have my old wings anyway.. lol)

Another go at the fart task because why not:

I WILD into the laundry room which has a door to the outside. I think of the fart task and smile as I go out into a bright sunny day. I try to sense if there are any groups of people around and I hear some raucous noises coming from the direction of the school. I fly over there to find lots of middle school and elementary aged kids running around in the yard outside the main school building. Some of the older kids are on top of hay bales, running backwards on them and rolling around like circus performers. I land in the middle of the yard and find a kind, motherly teacher who is pushing a stroller and being followed by many young children. I ask her if she can bring everyone together into one place. She kindly says yes and I follow her. All the kids and teachers gather in a group around the motherly lady. I crouch down and push out a very small, silent fart. The tiny little girl next to me giggles so hard that she falls on her butt and the motherly lady starts giggling uncontrollably as well. Pretty soon everyone is laughing and I laugh, too. After a bit I fly off and end up having a stupid conversation with my Dad..

That was a good one imazu. Gathering everyone around you is a nice move and the reaction was funny and good-hearted :-)

**Stintman** · 09-25-2015 10:58 AM

Success with the fart task! I was in my old highscool gym with several people from my job. We were all sitting on the bleachers and as soon I became lucid I farted and shoted "It was me!" I got some funny looks.

Tonight I remembered the challenge in an LD and completed Advanced Task i. It was not "paper", but I hope pulling a bonsai sunflower out of an iPad pro counts, too

(DILD, change szene to arrive at a shrink's office)
I'm looking around what they have on their desk, I see an old PC which is switched on and shows an old Windows desktop. I could try to google in the dream or check how sophisticated a dreamed PC works. Then I remember the TOTM challenge. I want to draw a flower und put it to life. Said and done: I transform the old PC into an iPad pro (which I never had in hand in RL) and use the pencil to draw a small cute sunflower. Drawing is really as easy as in their stupid commercials and is fun and full of self-irony. Now I conjure the digital flower with both hands: "awaken, grow out of the screen!". Display changes color, the flower changes its shape, but it does not come out. I then use the pencil to redraw parts of the flower und finally I can lift it up out of the display layer like digging it from soil. It grows and grows and just before waking up my little flower had the size of a bonsai tree.

Well folks, for those winged oneironauts, your chance to not go to Ophelia's butchery and get your wings ripped apart is here (she loves to cut your wings and shred them in pieces, and it only hurts a lot):

Otherwise, October's ToTM will become life for the wingless mortals on the 31st
