Ok, so I've completed my first TOTM! I bit a DC! :D
http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/ches...-months-71187/
I attempted the basic task last night but there was no one around to bite :/
I've never done a TOTM before so this is very interesting to me! Will try again.
Sorry if the link was broken. :) It works just fine for me. I'll post the DJ-entry below (couldn't get the spoiler thingy to work):
I haven't been actively trying to get lucid for almost a year, but a few days ago I started reading about lucid dreams again and started doing the nose plug RC in waking life. I had a semi-lucid dream the first night, just doing the nose plug and realizing I was dreaming, but lost lucidity almost a once. But tonight I had a real lucid!
I was standing in my mothers old house. I was in the toilet, only it didn't look like the real toilet - it was more of a public toilet with several doors/booths (that is a really strong dream sign for me). I walked out the door and closed it, but thought to myself "such a toilet would be a common occurrence in a dream, maybe I should go back in and do a RC." So I did. Went back in and did a nose plug. It worked! I could breathe! I almost could not believe it, everything felt so real. I didn't expect it to be a dream! I decided totest gravity and started jumping small jumps into he air. The ceiling was low, so I could not jump high, but I could feel a slight difference in gravity, as I didn't fall down as quickly as I expected. I went out of the toilet, and downstairs. I jumped up and flew in to the living room, staying about mid air. I saw H. sitting on the couch. I tried to remind myself it was a dream by saying it loud to myself. ", It's a dream, it's a dream" Then I remembered I should probably try to stabilize he dream. I remembered a method I'd read about where you should "make out" with the ground. Haha. So I did, I lay down on the floor and started making out with it. I could feel my lips on the wood, and felt my hands rubbing it. I started thinking how it probably wasn't a good idea to be kissing a floor (bacteria, although at the same time I realized it didn't really matter as it was only a dream), I decided the dream was stable enough and got up. I looked around me. H. was still on the couch. I got really excited, and tried remembering what I wanted to do if I got lucid. Nothing, could not remember anything. But wait, suddenly I remembered the task of the month! I should bite H, and see how he reacts! I went to him laughing, bent down and bit his shoulder. I could feel the fabric of his shirt in my mouth, but i wasn't a very hard bite. He started laughing too, and that was the only reaction I got. I thought "what else? What should I do with my lucid?" I was looking in my purse and found a large baguette with chocolate stuffing and frosting. I shared it with H, it tasted delicious! (this was not intentional, but I was still lucid) I asked H if we could go outside, thinking I wanted to do something more with my LD, and he said I could go visit the kitten in the apartment down by the river. Apparently there was a kitten in need of some food and cuddles. Obviously I thought this was a great idea, and went to the kitchen to find some cat food or tuna or something to bring. At this point the dream was taking over the plot, and I lost lucidity.
The dream continued on and I remember something about a kitten, but not much else. I remember a lot of other dream fragments from the night too, but the lucid is the vivid one, and the one I feel is important to write down. So great to have had a lucid again after not thinking about dreams for so long! I have to dust off my LD-abilities and start doing my RC's and WBTB's again.
Them DCs distracting us by sending us on long quests :mad:Quote:

Spoiler for #1:
Spoiler for #2:
Well, I was aiming to do the telepathy and joke tasks but no DC's around until a later LD and with it being Cameron Diaz I had other priorities. Interesting notes at the bottom of spoiler regarding induction and new twist on a teleportation method.
Spoiler for excerpt:
I read these tasks before going to sleep last night. I was half lucid at one point and asked a middle aged woman to tell me a joke...for some reason it set her off! She was livid and just unloaded on me, I swear I must of got called every cuss word in the book.
It ended with her calling me a "f*cking ret@rd" and storming off. I was just as confused in the dream as when I woke up...I guess she either hates jokes or has a really dark and vulgar sense of humor. :uhm::whyme:
Well, I just ended the longest dry spell I've had since I started trying to lucid dream! (I'm not even going to try to work out how long, it'd be too depressing!)
I think it started with a DEILD. I see an open air scene bathed in sunshine, I'm floating a few feet above the ground looking along a stony path through dry hilltop grass.
I know I'm lucid and decide to try to remember the TOTM. I use a number/rhyme mnemonic system: 1 bun - bite the bun; 2 shoe - big floppy clown shoes (joke); 3 tree - it's a picture of a tree and I'm scrunching it up in my fist: 4 door - the door opens into the back of somebody's head and I can see into their mind; 5 hive - I'll tell you how this signifies a paradox when I've had a go at seeing it, it's a particular paradox that if like to announce along with my description of how my subconscious interprets it!
So, I look along the path and see a couple walking along hand in hand, I don't recall what the chap looked like, but the girl was tall and slim, perhaps in her mid thirties. She has longish thick black curly hair and dark olive skin, she looks perhaps Turkish or Greek. I swoop down to them and say I've been dared to bite someone. They look confused but not too perturbed and she lifts her right hand to my mouth. I take her hand and bite the blade of her palm. As I bite, I decide that actually biting off a piece of her would be more fun than just nibbling, so I bite harder. I can feel the bone in her hand and decide I can bite through it if it's just a little softer. With a slight crunch, I bite through the bone and take a chunk out of her hand. The texture is soft and slightly granular, something like a cross between an gummy sweet and halva, but tastes of absolutely nothing, sadly. The couple are still standing there looking nonplussed and thankfully not seeking revenge for my impromptu cannibalism...

Completed Advanced II:
I'm at my Dad's house trying to comfort a crying friend. This somehow leads to a large-scale family conflict and two sides of the family decide they're going to battle it out outside. I get dragged into it along with my friend, luckily we end up on the same "team". Everyone is supposed to claim a little remote control vehicle which are supposed to fly around with us sitting on them. We're going to use them for battle. So I'm trying to find one and some lady starts counting down like, "THREE! TWO!.." and I'm frantically looking around. She yells, "ONE!" and everyone flies up into the air on their tiny cars and I finally find one before joining in. As this goes on, we all turn into little flying insects. I'm a green moth and I'm trying to get away from a yellow butterfly and a wasp who're on the other team. We fly inside a store and the abrupt change of scenery, coupled with the weirdness of being a bug, trigger my lucidity. I feel invisible and weightless like a sometimes do and I float around the store getting my wits together. I think about the TOTM to communicate with someone or an animal telepathically. I look around and see Bernie Sanders at the counter with some woman and they're talking to the clerk. I fly up to him and he notices me even though I'm invisible. I concentrate on his mind and send some phrases towards him, like talking in my head. I say, "How are you? What's up?" etc. He responds with two sentences. The first one is longer and I don't really recall it, but the second one is, "I'm the King!" When he says this he turns into a cartoon carp fish with long whiskers, a scepter, a robe and a crown. I ask him to repeat himself and he does so, turning back into his human form, then back into the fish at the end again. I ask him what this means and he turns into a transformer toy and his head rolls backwards and he says something I don't recall. All of the words were in my head, not out loud.
Failed 3 times Basic II; Completed two times Advanced II:

who would thought that it is that difficult to get a joke out of a DC?! the answer of the second DC really confused me! she seems to be an "advanced" DC i“ve never met before... lets see if i can meet her again!
Here the DJ Entry for those who want to read the whole dreams. they where very cool and memorable for me!
yay finally some wings again so i can vote for the next totms.
i“m sad noone postet anything about a paradox so far or did i just missed it?
i sure will try to tickle one little joke out of the dc“s in my next lucid... or i will have to bite one but i dont like the imagination... especially after SammyTheSnake“s description... :(
I had a totally freaking awesome non-lucid last night (actually, a late afternoon snooze) in which I was a cold-war experiment cyborg saving the world, but nobody bit me...
I was going to say that I didn't forget that the challenge was to "bite" not "eat" but then I realised actually I did forget and just retrospectively justified that going on to bite a little harder was still included in just biting :-P Retrospective justification is one of the bad habits we humans are somewhat prone to...

Is there a limit of one task per dream? Anyway, success! :)
Bite a DC / Ask a DC to tell you a joke
Spoiler for #1:
Crumpling up the dream scene (failed) / Telepathy
Spoiler for #2:
edit for formating :P
I didn't get another task but it was funny so I'll tell it..
11/14 T-rex
7:00pm After a dinner of two huge homemade tacos made with my own taco seasoning and covered with lettuce,tomato,salsa,cheese and big gobs of french onion dip a nap was in order. It wasn't long before I was in a building basement with people running helter-skelter to get away from a T-Rex that just barely fit but was coming my way, I knew it was a dream and I was supposed to do tasks or something but I didn't want to change it because it looked like fun.."This way I yelled, Get in the elevator" and most of them did as I floated up to let them run thru the doorway that I was standing in,
All that was left was a pair of pastel blue rollie-pollies and their kid with round heads and bodies but no visible legs, They pulled and tugged on each other "Cmon-Cmon-He's coming" and all of a sudden in a flash they ran me over and bowled out onto the floor on the other side yelling to each other "Are you all right?" And the woman rollie-pollie grabbed the man and kid and blew into the elevator and slam the door and gone leaving only me with T-Rex behind me but I was laughing too hard to care and in the end it woke me up with "Monster" heartburn and a moral to this story clearly in hand..
"A fella just might cut back on the Cumin in them taco " :yddd:
Friendly Mid-Month Reminder:

Essentially, I get lucid after realizing rocking back and forth on your bed and being awake while being asleep is not possible. I make my way out to the living room, planning to go outside, and lo and behold my dad is sitting in a chair. I ask him to tell me a joke. I can't recall much about it now (I remember it after waking up but didn't write it down), but it had a word "avozhol" or something to that degree, utter gibberish. I asked him again because I figured I'd misheard, but he repeated the joke perfectly. I know that it made literally no sense, it was essentially a random sentence with the above word added to it.
So technical completion? Like I said, I wouldn't really count it, I could have done better. Ended up going outside and to a neighbor's house, hoping to find a non-familial DC (in my house only family members appear unless I summon someone, and I suck at summoning DCs though I've done it before). Knock on the neighbor's door, suddenly it's this weird cavern mansion house themed after the Flinstones. John Goodman opens the door, invites me in, and I vaguely recall a beautiful woman near the end before I woke up.
Man, it feels like it's been forever since I've had a quality TotM completion. But I had a really solid lucid on Friday (after pulling an all-nighter on Thursday...) and knocked out Basic 1.
Spoiler for Basic 1:
Not exactly the reaction I expected, but whatevs.
Hey :woohoo:
Basic totm1
I look up and a DC is staring down at me so I reach out for his finger and bite it - I look up at him apologetic and say " I dint mean to harm you and you know I would do anything to help you right?" He nods I add that -" he would do anything for me also right?" He nods and we touch fists and seel the deel :D
Basic totm 2
I want to complete another task so I ask him to " tell me a joke"
He says he can't think of one so I ask him to " please try " ...then he says they 'brought the flags out' - I said that it didn't sound like a joke but maybe it was to him and he nodded at me in agreement...okay!
My own thing...
I try to remember other tasks and get an incling of a memory about doing something with ones mind so I see a glass on a table and make it rise up with my mind and say to everyone around " look I am controlling this glass with my mind!"
I enjoyed this alot so as I walk out of this place I make me and all the DC's levitate our way out of the room by telekinesis -
Advance totm 1 attempt...
When I reach outside I remember An advanced totm challenge to crumple up the dream scene ... So I look around and with a sweeping movement with my hands I make a wide crumpling gesture that then brings all of the the dream scene into a small bright cube in my hand - it looks amazing, this replica of the scene around me sitting in my hand in the form of a small bright yellow cube ... I try again Incase this isn't enough for my wings and the same thing happens again - I am happy with it but am unsure if it's competed the task as it was more that I accomplished making a tiny cube replica of my dream scene rather than a crumple ....as a replica of the dream scene ( lots of yellow in the surroundings ) - now a small golden yellow cube sits alive in my hands I walk on...
Bonus task attempt
As I walk on I remember a task Sensei set of creating a paradox - I see a young girl walking towards me and I put up my hand and imagine I have created an exact replica of her face in the palm of my hand - I look but I dint manage - my hand looks like a beautiful tartan though which is nice but maybe not a paradox;(
Great tasks!
