Thread: Task of the Month for December 2015

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?

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