So to keep it consistent, I opted for what's more of a pain-in-the-ass for me to do, but looks best for you guys. /martyr

But seriously, it makes more sense for me to just do it the right way even if it takes more time. Or else why am I an admin. Like I always say, please PM me if one of y'all gets overlooked, especially if you forget (ahem) to request permission for the usergroup. In the case of some of you, like Fryingman, because he's on DVA Staff, his name has to stay teal even if he's winged. And I stay red, and Mismagius stays blue etc. There's some issues with the user titles but I think I have found a workaround for that also (I just now PMed you about that FryingMan).

So let me know if all is working right in those areas, but also if somehow access to other parts of the forums go out the window when your winged or dewinged. I didn't make any of these usergroups, past admins and owners did. Some of them are crazy, and the rest are crazier. Gab and I continue to try to feel our way around the dark Labyrinth that is the VB Admin Control Panel. But if there is a solution, we always find it.

Thanks for your patience, and as always, PM me or gab for anything at anytime. We'll get to you eventually

Thank you very much! I really appreciate the pain-in-the-ass work you both do

I was gonna ask you about that, you PMed me about basic wings, but the perm that was requested was for advanced.

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!

Hell I don't know

Anyway it was advanced II

Spoiler for Ghost Busters:

Completed Lucid Task II

Hooee, It should have been Halloween..

12/21 Ghost-Busters
4:30am At first I wasn't too sure I was dreaming when I found myself flying around my old home in the night, The houses were gone leaving only empty yards, Then I noticed shadowy, maybe spiritual flames wafting up from the ground in bare spots (Like wherever something had died or was buried) and remembered some tasks and that this was an Indian Reservation (A very spiritual place). I soon forgot the tasks and lucidity as this was really cool.
I flew all over looking for more of the flames, Most were pale blue but a couple were red flames too for whatever good that did.
I soon ran out of new ones and went exploring, I found an old neighbor girl for a DC companion and we flew around looking for more and then I remembered "exploring an old mine"
Something told me there was old mine between here and home and I saw a steep,slippery'rock incline
and started up it but the girl got scared out and stayed behind..About a half mile up the mountain I ran into a large man in a police uniform, He didn't notice me so I went on past him for several yards and looked back as he slipped over the side of the slope into the brush below and I decided to follow him wherever it took me. I followed him thru the brush to two houses on a hill with a pool and a small boy laying strips of wood around the pool and he ran out of wood so I got more for him..(The cop was gone) I asked the boy which way to the old mine and he pointed farther up the mountain so I flew off that way up over the forest to a very old, haunted looking mansion with turrets and spires and very run down looking but before I got to it I saw a gray, Ghostly creature almost humanoid coming up toward me and I asked it to show me the way to the abandoned mine, Without an answer he took off thru the brush with me following above because he was so fast. As we started up yet another brushy slope I could see the yellowish out-buildings of what looked like a slave or prison labor coal mine thru a notch in the trees, The ghost thing asked telepathically "Are you afraid" And I replied "No, this is just what I was looking for" He replied "You should be scared, I am This is a very dangerous place even for spirits and travelers" Then he showed me the entrance to the mine (He would not go near it himself) I flew fearlessly inside but only for a short distance and I could see why he was scared. It was nearly full of the spirit flames and wails of people that had been murdered or died in there and I backed out of there swiftly. Then it pointed even farther up the hill to a pass that he said would lead me to home and as he disappeared I heard a squeaking door and sat upright in bed knowing I was awake but we don't have a squeaking door and thinking of an intruder I fumbled for the gun in the night stand then heard the outside building door shut and got up to go to the bathroom, It was awhile before I went back to sleep..
I wonder why

Repost

Almost forgot.

Merry Christmas Everybody

Ok woblybil, all fixed. Damn, if I keep "fixing" you, you're not going to have any fun bits left for those crazy dreams of yours

Also, Merry Christmas as well!!

I'm late, but I'll go for BT I, BT II, or AT I.

Last night, in the most successful night of lucid dreaming I've ever had, I completed both basic tasks.

Spoiler for Basic I Dream:

I was watching K play a video game that was like a combination of Tetris and a side-scroller. The game had an urban setting. He scrolled too far to the side and lost track of his character, and then I found myself in the game looking for the character. I was on a ledge with some sheds below it. I could see the night sky on the side with the sheds, except it had the Earth in in instead of the moon. When I looked away from the Earth and looked back there were two Earths, and when I did so again there was a whole row of Earths, some of which were misshapen. This made me realize I was dreaming. I wanted to go toward the Earths, but when I did I found myself in a room where the Earths were all sculptures attached to a white wall several meters up. I tried to jump and fly up to them, but I could not fly when I tried, so I tried thinking that I was in a setting with rocket boot technology and that I was wearing rocket boots. While this still did not fully allow me to fly, it did let me jump high enough to grab onto one of the sculptures. There was a sculpture of a dog on top of it. While I was doing this, I noticed that C was in the room with me. I let go and fell back to the floor. There was also another woman there who told me that I had to wake up because I was going to be late for class. She took me into an office on the left side of a hallway that led out of the room and away from the wall. She showed me a whiteboard that said that it was currently 10:10 a.m. and that I had lab at 10:30 (neither of these was true--it was actually about 7:00 a.m., and I don't have lab at 10:30 on Saturdays). However, I believed her, and I said that maybe if I though about something abstract enough I would wake up. She agreed and started to leave. As she was leaving, I remembered Basic Task I and asked "What would a good Task of the Month be?" She said, "That would work," apparently misinterpreting my question as a suggestion of an abstract thing I could think about to wake myself up. I followed her as she started going up a staircase, and she followed up her previous statement by saying "S did something like that." I woke up before I could explain that the question was for her, not me.

Spoiler for Basic II Dream:

I was in my college's dining commons sitting next to R. When I turned away and then looked back, R turned into T. It suddenly started hailing hailstones so large that they broke the skylights and got water on the floor and tables. I went looking for R in a different part of commons, and thinking about the strange manner in which she disappeared caused me to become lucid. The scene then changed to one in which I entered a building and decided to explore it. I could hear loud, bassy music playing in one room, so I went into that room. As I went in, the music stopped. In the room were some people playing Magic. One of the people playing was A, and I could see that some of his cards were Pokemon cards being used as proxies. I left the room, going back the way I had come and down the other half of a fork in the hallway. I came to an industrial-looking door, and when I went through it I found myself in a passageway with a ceiling so low that I had to crawl. The passageway went through a restroom before ending in a door to the outside. I stepped outside into an alternate version of campus. I saw my professor J, who turned into my other professor D as I walked toward him. I remembered Basic Task II, and made myself pretend to laugh hysterically. As D became increasingly confused I started actually laughing. While I was doing this, I saw a bunch of bees on the ground between us. I finished laughing and went off to explore campus more. Right before I woke up I saw one of my friends run past in an outfit made of leaves.

Is it too late for me to vote on next month's lucid tasks?

This is possibly the coolest task ever. In fact, I'm making it a permanent task for me.

...I love apocalyptical and post-apocalyptical stories. Stop judging me.

Not too late at all! Just remember to request the TOTM perms for your completed tasks. It helps me to lose less hair.

Basic ii and advanced i completed!

Do Nightmares count? .. Yikes

5:00pm

Spoiler for Lucid don't always win:

Do Nightmares count? .. Yikes
I was lucidly playing peek-a-boo with an evil looking Patagonian desert tiger the size of a Volkswagen Bus..First I would hide under a mud hole and peeking up out of the mud at him and then when he was about to come after me I would duck below the waves of mud and confuse him by popping up somewhere else, One time I came up to look and he was gone so I came up completely paddling around in circles in a sort of victory dance a foot so off the surface, Then when I looked up he was coming directly down on top of me and I woke up with a scream..

..

For the winged ones:

All right folks, put down the wine, the food, the toys, the videogames, the adult toys your lover bought you, the... yeah... just put down everything and head to Task of the Month January 2016 unless you want Ophelia to put down your wings Chance to chain!

Good luck!

I can't see next month's TOTM, is that because an early start is a privilege reserved for those who already have wings? If so - #sadface

SammyTheSnake

Yup You need to know (and have wings) how to fly to see it. Don´t worry, you will otherwise on the 31st in the morning. So work hard on earning your wings this month and have the privilege (And you can manage to be winged forever if you chain )

I blew up the planet!

Dream Journal

12/30 Completed Basic II for January
2:00 am..It all started when I ate two grilled cheese before going to bed but it cost me.....

I was upstairs at my old neighbors house with the mom and the girls drinking and smoking green stuff (with a gaggle of girls I was doing other things too I just sort of became aware this was all a dream because that was years ago and there were chores (tasks) to be done.
After a couple more hits and whatever that slop was the the girls had mixed up I asked the mom I wasn't using at the time for a bicarbonate of soda cocktail..(By now I was a lizard) Just then Grandpa came home downstairs in the kitchen, She replied "There's none up here and we dont want dad to catch us like this" and I screamed "I gotta have it,Pops or no" I kinda flew downstairs to a strange kitchen with nobody in it so I rummaged for Bicarb which was non existent in dreamworld (as usual). I woke up dying of heartburn and went to the still cockeyed kitchen and got the same results. (FA..Crap) I was in too much agony to care about lucid dreaming anymore and woke up for real I hoped and went to the kitchen with the same results.. No Bicarb..!
Then I remembered I had used the last of it in the catbox and discarded the box.
Thank God for 24 hr Walmart

And with that being said... there goes December and there goes 2016.

New month, new ToTM! And with the new year, the ToTY is coming too, but this one... goes into the void now... and talking about voids, you better check January´s ToTM!
