Thread: Task of the Month for January 2016

Hello Friends;
i love the bonus task cos most of my awareness starts with me falling from no where to no where in total darness which always scares the hell out me. i will to break my dry spell and take up courage to control scary dreams.

I think that I finished Advanced Task II, though it was unintended (haven't checked tasks for this month before). DC didn't noticed that I turned gravity down a bit, and everything and everyone was floating in the air. Then I altered it so only I was floating, and she didn't noticed anything too...

[16-01-2016] Short WILD - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

She tried to persuade me to stay with her. I knew what she wanted to do and felt arousal, but I wanted to go out and explore this time. To scare her out, I altered gravity in the room. Everything was floating gently in the air - she didn't noticed. I thought that maybe it's because she is floating with it as well, so I brought back normal gravity and made that only I was levitating. Still no effect, she was insisting that I should stay with her.

Would it still count for wings?

I remember to ask a DC for some of his whiskey he had in his pocket in a Lucid this morning - he passed it to me and I drank down the whole dam lot - I felt tipsy/drunk possibly but cleared my mind as I wanted to do other stuff I had decided to look for Sageous ( which would complete a task ) then possibly ask him to go into the void with me and help create a world thus completing Bonus task ...It didn't go exactly as expected - as I looked around saying ' Where is Sageous?"" Hello ...are you here?" a young boy, with a twin - spoke out from within a group of DC's and said " Me - I am "
I ask the boy " Are you Sageous from DV?"
" Oh that Sageous! No that's someone else - Just follow me he's over here" the wee man said
So I follow him and wake up

ToTM non-lucid incubation, this time the task I actually did complete:

I'm reading a book of books. There are cover after cover of many books in this book. The cover that I remember: "The Two Tolkiens"

I completed the bonus task. The world I came too was a giant domed building with a big storybook canal ride.

I dove down into the ground and entered a void. As I was dropping, I could hear a fountain. I landed and saw I was now in a huge domed building. Below me was a giant pool with a couple of large fountains and what looked like a track to a water ride. I jumped down into the water and swam along the track. I found that it wasn't really a track, but more a rubber snake. The ride went into another room. I found the ride was like a storybook canal with intricate miniature sculptures of villages along the side.

Advanced II success!

I look up into the sky and I see some puffy things like giant cotton swab puffs, and to the right a giant advertisement for a chocolate bar with many little bits of chocolate strewn around, I think "this is a dream-like sky, because only in dreams do you get particles like that in the sky". I do a nose pinch and am confused that I can breathe. That gets my attention, I try again and I can breathe. What? Oh! I run forwards and take a leap off of the road over a big drop with a small thought of "is this a bad idea?" but I fly and I'm firmly lucid now. I'm near a major university and think "I'm going to go mess with the students!" The thought of ToTM Advanced II (change gravity for a DC) enters my head. Down on the sidewalk below I see people, I choose a group of 3 walking together, 2 guys and a girl. I point my finger at the girl (who's standing on the right end of the 3 walking together), and will gravity to reverse for her so she falls into the sky. And indeed, she flies up high into the sky, 60 feet or so, when I un-reverse gravity for her and fly to catch her in my arms. Her head is to my left, feet the right. Her face is turned away from me. I turn her towards me, hoping/expecting to see a young/pretty college girl. She seems to be and I immediately kiss her. She's confused and I explain (punctuated by a few more short kisses) that I made a tiny modification of the space/time continuum around her, but that for her it probably felt like a large change. I ask her where she wants to go: New York? Europe? To the <rock band name forgotten> concert in Austrailia [false]? "Oh, the concert!" she answers. Darn, I think, I didn't really want to go to the concert. At this point there's a strange transition and we're outside a secret restaurant in Iran, and I'm now a small, dark-skinned, dark-haired local boy speaking through another local boy through a guy who works in the restaurant, explaining to the girl that I don't speak (Iranian?). The implication is that we're stuck in this situation (she accessed my dream power somehow to make this change?)... and then I wake up.

Full DJ here:

Hello everybody. Nice to meet you all here again, like two years ago!!!!
TOTM done - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Completed Basic Task i. Full dream here: Book Titles and a Headstone (WILD)

Excerpt relevant to the task:

I knew I must have transitioned when I realized I was holding a piece of paper in my hands. I used the paper to better integrate by running it between my fingers and being attentive to the lifelike sensations. They were vivid enough that I figured I should just get up out of bed, even though my vision hadn't kicked in fully yet and everything was dim and blurry. Since there are bookcases right next to my bed in WL and my intention was to do this month's Basic Task i, the moment I was on my feet I started examining the books. My vision was no better overall, but I could see well enough in the area of my primary focus. Reading was surprisingly easy as well, although the words themselves did not always remain stable, sometimes changing into new ones right before my eyes.

I read a half dozen book titles right away, some better than others, but none so striking that I felt like putting special effort into memorizing them. I hoped a few might stick with me naturally, but unfortunately I didn't remember any of them on waking. After browsing the books in the bedroom for a while, I moved out to the kitchen, where I have more bookshelves (there are books almost everywhere in my house). I continued reading titles, trying to find a really good one for the task. Finally after moving on to a second shelf in the kitchen I found what I was looking for. The book was a slim hardcover, about 9"x11" and 3/4 inch thick. The cover had a glossy sheen and was white in the upper half and a darker color, grey perhaps, in the lower half. In the very center, where the colors met, was the word: "REVOLIOTUN" in red and black stylized capital letters. I took note of how it appeared to be the word "revolution" with some of the letters transposed. I wasn't sure if this was part of the title or designated something else, like the series, publisher, or maybe just a cover design, since the actual title seemed to be printed below this in the lower half of the cover. The title was David Bowie's Dreams: Naked in Flight. This tickled me, especially given his recent passing, and I knew it was the one I wanted to bring back for the task.

I set my mind on remembering that book, but glanced at a few more for good measure. There was one small paperback titled Blue Skulls Book that struck me, but that's the only other title I can remember.

Thank you very much for posting the suggestions without dashes, difficulty tier, etc. Makes my work much easier!!! I skipped some suggestions because they were already suggested or very similar to other suggestions.

I did likewise last night but I got mine.....I was in my old green motor-home with the worst looking poor girl I have ever seen and she rolled over and wanted to kiss me with a mouth like a 200 lb carp and bad breath but you know me! I was just putting my hand down her pants when her girlfriend/significant other, In a blue top was banging on the driver side door and looking in the window screeching obscenities at the cheating witch and I saw she was much better looking so I bailed out the door and went after her. When I got around there she was wearing only the blue top and as I focused on her butt she said "Oh-No You don't" And took off into the air the looking back teasing to see if I was following, I was-She stopped-I didn't-Oops!. I lost lucidity From there we fell to the dust below and went up a mountain the hard way to a hotel covered with dust and I woke up...

I didn't! She accessed my dream power somehow and performed the teleport. Guess we only made it half-way to Australia. heh.

Advanced Task i - Meet someone in person who you only know online in waking life. - YESSSS donedid it

Had a long chain of DEILDs. In 5th one I met Ophelia.

I again realize I'm still lucid, I sit up on the bed and tell Ophelia who is to my left that I just had 4 DEILD. But she can't hear me. She is busy with 2 kids (I read her DJ entry before attempt where she had 2 kids).

We are standing face to face and I panic not knowing how to "meet her" so the TOTM is valid. I ask if I can hug her and we hug. She is taller than I am and when I look at her face second time, she is morphing into Michael Landon. I say "oh, hi Michael" thinking this is weird because he is dead. So we start to french kiss. Nice and wet and hot. I was hoping he didn't mind when it occured to me, that even ded need some fun.

Tried to get Ophelia back in one of the later DEILDs too, but no luck.
Link to DJ soon. http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/gab/...someone-73112/

ooo what was I wearing?

For once I realize I did something at least a bit similar to the bonus task in a lucid. I was in a room and there was some kind of visual glitch in the air through which I saw something. I grabbed it and ripped it open like a rift and found myself in an entirely different place, still in a room with a beautiful outside scenery.

cool way to teleport yourself but without the void. considering what you want to achieve this is good or not that good

Well I acted instinctively, I was not really expecting a specific result, so I'd say it was good. This could certainly be used to get into a void and then start creating from there.

I have gotten so used to ripping curtains etc: open and going thru to new worlds that I even do it non-lucid now and if the situation warrants change then I become automatically lucid .

Okay folks!

Time to visit:

For February ToTM.

Note: The Dreamviews Lords are holding the task for the chosen winged oneironauts. You need wings to fly up there. But don´t worry, the Lords of Dreamviews are benevolent, and right on the 31st all mortal oneironauts will have a whole month to do it and become immortal (well, for the rest of that months hehe.)


!!!!!!!!!!!NUF EVAH.

Sooo... yeah... like 1 day before the end of the month...

Spoiler for Changing gravity for DCs:

While trying to sleep I realise I am dreaming. Things instantly fade to black.

False awakening. There is a small white alarm clock on the bedside table. It show the time is already gone 9am and I panic, wondering how the work alarm failed to wake me. There is a switch on the back that seems to be set to off. Luckily my watch shows it is 7.36am.

I roll over and relax a bit, noticing several scraps of paper stuck to the wall on AB's side of the bed. She enters the room and moans at me for being on the wrong side of the bed. So I roll over a few times, rubbing myself on the sheets, saying "I'm just marking my territory".

AB lies down on the other side of the bed, and I start thinking that things are off. My finger won't go through my palm though. "What's wrong?" AB asks, seeing my expression of confusion.
"Uh... just a sec honey." I consider seeing if she's in the mood for some adult fun time as then it wouldn't really matter if this is a dream or not. The instinct to do something more productive takes over for a change. I take AB's hand and lead her downstairs.

The front door leads out into a street which is not where we live in RL. Great so this is a dream. Still holding AB's hand I start to levitate in the air, moving backwards, eyes locked on hers. AB follows me and we start flying over the town. The dream fades a short while later.

...Into another false awakening. The bedroom is now on the ground floor, the curtains are open, and a strangely dressed man walks past the window. This makes me lucid again.

After phasing through the window I see several people wandering around and start to mess with gravity for them. Some of them raise into the air, some get dragged sideways, as for each one I point at an object or building to be their personal source of gravity. They're all loving it! They laugh and Whoop as each of them flies in a random direction.

Seems like time to attempt another TOTY. Flying up into the air I search for a rainbow. The ground is now covered in trees, forming a valley and mountains. Well, there are other tasks that need trees. I fly over to a group of really tall trees and land. I search for a fairy ring. There isn't one at the moment, but while searching, several mushrooms sprout out of the ground to form one.

It is too small to step inside without damaging the mushrooms, so I shrink myself down. This only makes me child sized. The second attempt makes me just a little taller than the mushrooms themselves. Perfect. I try to squeeze into the ring, but more mushrooms have grown to form a wall.

Trying to phase through the barrier wakes me up. Sigh.

Congrats! Don't forget to select the perms for the competed task so I can wing ya!

You notice in your watch it is the 31st, and with it... the TOTM for January starts to vanish. Apparently, not only January´s ToTM is ceasing to exist, but your very own watch started to melt, and time seems to be in a heap of trouble... bending time might be required to be a winged hero this month... Check it out...
