Thread: Task of the Month for December 2015

I became lucid in a very interesting place... it looked like some type of sky world like floating mountains from the movie Avatar (or some RPG games). I saw my Dad and was going to laugh in his face but I was like well I haven't done the first tasks yet and laughing in my dad's face even though it's just a DC representation of him just doesn't seem cool . I asked him what a good time of the month was and he said he liked January and April... to which I thought ok that's a good time of the year so let's see how he responds to that question... to which he responded more appropriately will Fall. Really boring answers I know. I should have laughed in his face after that!

oh my...^^ i agree with you that laughing in someones face is not nice and i actually thought of it afterwards and didnt like it. good thing was it was just a random guy and not my dad... so good for you you checked this already in the dream and not afterwards^^
nice trying the other task but TotM/TotY = Task of the Month/Year (like the name of the thread). sadly it means not Time of the month ^^

Ha! What a goober I am! Well based on experience now I can tell you asking what a good time of the month or year is... Is not a good task of the month!

As in my last posted lucid, I thought it would be cruel to inform a friend that he had been dead for 20 years even tho it was a dream

Asked a DC what the task of the month should be... got a dumb answer...

Spoiler for Basic Task:

I'm playing MGS V, presumably, trying to line up a shot with a sniper rifle. The two enemies keep moving. A friendly target moves up to them and I get one of the enemies in my cross hairs.... Boom, head shot! I quickly move to the other target and fire off what should be a head shot, but the game goes into slow motion... reflex mode.

The other enemy doesn't die. He turns to look at me and I can see he has a weird helmet with built in infra-red goggles - one single red dot staring at me. Knowing my weapon won't be able to penetrate the helmet, I instead leap forwards and sprint across the gap between us.

The soldier simply watches me charge. Unconcerned. I leap over a small wall and use my CQC to strike him down. It works and the soldier falls down, stunned.

The friendly soldier then leads me to a fighter plane and we climb inside. While flying the plane I become lucid. The scenery blurs and goes dark, but I keep flying. The scene reforms within a city, the plane swooping between skyscrapers. There are tie fighters ahead, too fast to catch.

Frustrated at being left behind I will the plane to go faster. It complies. A sudden boost of speed sends me hurtling into a grey vortex mist after the other ships. The wind rushes around me as if there is no plane, my mind simply using the well known sensation of going fast on my motorbike... which is fine by me and gives me a rush of adrenaline.

I use the 'boost' effect several more times, just for kicks, and do some barrel rolls for good measure. Recalling the tasks I drop down to the ground and start looking around. TR is standing nearby.
"What would be a good task of the month?" I ask him.
He points at part of the wall and says "You have to examine this then move over there."
I laugh at him. "Dude that is the WORST TASK EVER."

After walking through the building I find the entrance to what is apparently a... gentlemen's club. According to the posters, that is. I push open the door to find it is just an ordinary bar. There is a woman sitting on a high stool talking to the barman. Across the room is a group of people playing poker.
"Deal me in." I call out, but wake up before taking a seat.

OK so I did the basic right this time

(Info you should know before you read this: I was going to sell Direct TV door to door a few months back. I went out with a friend and watched him get a sale. The people he sold was a very nice older couple. We talked for a while about a lot of different things including our job and selling.)

I became lucid almost immediately and it was very vivid. I was at this park near where I grew up and I looked around the park for somebody couldn't find anyone. I went inside the first house I saw (right across the street from the park) and there were two older folks sitting in the living room, a man and a woman, and it was quite dark. I began speaking with them and they asked how they could help me. I don't remember if I told them that I was there for their TV service or what but that's what we started talking about. I asked them what a good task of the month would be and the man said imaging and bandaging (lolwut), and then I asked the woman what a good task of the year would be and she said to not be so salesy. They kept going on and on giving me information about sales and what I should do... it was hard to retain it all. In fact, I retained none of the other stuff they said! I feel like what the man said when I initially asked him about the task of the month was totally random. When I asked him to repeat it after the wife was finished with her spiel, he said the same thing (imaging and bandaging) but related it to selling/sales. His answer was well formulated too I had no argument... at least for the imaging part (something about showing pictures to the customers and making the experience very interactive). I woke up before he could explain bandaging.

So there you have it... TOTM - Imagining and bandaging. TOTY - Don't be too salesy. You're welome

My very first task! Did it during a "weak" lucid dream.

TASK DONE: Laugh in a DCs face.

Task of the month written in this color

I fell asleep at 7 AM and soon found myself in a dream. At first, I only thought I was waking up after my nap. But after I witnessed time shifting (first I saw the evening star, then it was morning again, then night) in front of my eyes out my window, I did a nose pinch RC and realised I was dreaming. I got out of bed and walked downstairs. I looked into the dining room where I saw my mom. I then had a false awakening. My suspicion caused me to do another RC. I could breathe, so I knew I was still dreaming. I went to the fridge and opened it, and saw it was full of pudding cups. I decided since this was a dream, I could eat as many as I wanted. I ate a burger and it tasted like the real thing but the flavor was a bit weaker. I tried to utilize some dream control by conjuring up a backpack to put the pudding cups in. The backpack didn't appear even after I believed it would (heard you should believe, not try), but I just pretended to unzip the backpack and put the pudding cups in. I then walked out the door, pretending to be carrying a backpack, and decided to take a walk. I then remembered that I wanted to do the task of the month, which was laugh in a DCs face. I walked past a few people, then came across a guy who was fixing his fence. I walked up to him and proceeded to laugh right in his face. It was weak laughter, but that was probably due to it being a dream. I DID try to raise my chin and laugh like a villian in a cartoon, no matter how weak the laughter was. The man didn't give me a response.

Whew! There you have it! Since this was my very first lucid task, I didn't have much dream control (as you can see with the "backpack"). But luckily for me, I actually remembered the task I was trying to do, and I was lucid, so it counts (even if the laughter itself was a bit... weak. But can you blame me? I'm just a beginner!).

Hey oneironauts! I've been meaning to post for such a long time but I've been soo lazy... (Not for lucid dreaming though!). Hope all is well!


Basic i

In a DEILD I appeared at my dad's apartment in Puerto Rico. I got out of there and went inside a mall-like place. There, I found a series of dream characters and asked them for a good TotM idea... A lot of them completely ignored me, just a one very charismatic girl DC answered me. She said, "well of course, you guys should tame a lion".
Haha. It was super random, I wasn't even remotely thinking about a lion at that moment...

Basic task ii

I became lucid outside my mom's house in PR... I remembered the task, looked around and saw an african american family about to get in a car. I started laughing like a crazy man in front of them. They all started too look directly at me, very woried about me. The funniest was the little boy, looking at me perplexed with an open mouth. They got in the car and I got in with them, haha. They started driving and I kept laughing, now I really looked psychotic. I was upside down (with my feet toward the roof) and everything...
At this point the laughter was real because I found it so funny that they didn't know what the hell was happening, they where scared, but still decided to drive... Lol.

Eventually I asked them to stop and got out of the car... They didn't really "react" but their expressions where priceless!
I took out my phone and prepared for the phone task...

Advanced task i, fail?

I asked my phone to ring (surprised as always, as to how real it seems), picked it up. Guy named Christian answered... I asked him to who is he speaking. He said: "obviously with Miguel". I said to him: "my name is Tito, idiot!".
I kept talking to him but didn't really remembered the conversation afterwards, so this is probably a fail...

Advanced task ii

I had some fun with this one... I have been visiting a bunch of enigmatic caves since the begging of December.
In one of them I became lucid in a hospital for some reason, flew out into some nature place. Found a very tiny cave... I inserted my arm, a DC grabbed it and pulled me (shrinking me) into the tiny cave. It was a super trippy experience. A tinier version of me explored the cave, full of rocky surfaces, water falls and ponds, aboriginal paintings, etc.

Another day, a DC guided me into a cave... But it was a fake abandoned cave, something you'd find in Disney World. It was a "haunted house" type of attraction. With DC's and holograms trying to scare me and stuff.

I wish you all have some happy holidays and an awesome New Year!
