Thread: Task of the Month for April 2016

VERY, VERY BIG IMPORTANT NOTE (DATED ON APRIL 1ST):

Many people have been found cheating and requesting wings from fake dreams. We checked through the dreamworld, and many of those never happened. So unfortunately, we must close the ToTM tasks starting May 2016... A new voting thread will be opened tomorrow in regards of future ideas to earn your wings

Yup, April's fools hehe

NEW: Do you have a Task of the Month suggestion that you would love to get chosen?
Now you have the chance to suggest new tasks of the month by clicking the
Future Task of the Month Suggestion Thread.
If you complete a current TOTM, you will be able to vote on suggestions for the next month!

Introduction:
This topic is for the Lucid Tasks that are assigned by the Lucid Task Club and the On-Topic Administrator. Please attempt any or all of these tasks throughout the month.

Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task. Your efforts should make interesting reading! This is required in order to get credit, it is no longer sufficient just to say that you did it.

Very important

When you complete a task: Go to your control panel, then to permission groups, and request to be in the group that applies to the task that you've done: either a basic or an advanced or both (specify in the description field if it was the bonus task). Of course you still need to post the dream here because we check. Please, make sure you post here your attempts both failures and successes, this will make this post much more dynamic and it will make OpheliaBlue/Gab ´s winging delivering much easier. It will be very appreciated!


Whoever completes any of these tasks gets the following goodies until the end of the month:

• Your name will be displayed in ORANGE in the online members list at the bottom of the main forum page.
• You will receive a special title and badge.

Basic Task ii - Play Spin the Bottle or Seven Minutes in Heaven with a group of DCs.(litlepooky04)

Advanced Task i - Drain the colour from an object? (dutchraptor)
Advanced Task ii - Lay on a bed of clouds in the sky. (spellbee2)

BONUS TASK!! - Visit Middle Earth and attend a Hobbit celebration. (Stintman)

YES! Good month for me, voting aligned with one of my basic & advanced choices, and bonus, so I'm really jazzed. Thanks, Percy, for the tie breaker nod in my direction for basic. I need some solid motivation since my traveling/jet lag/new work assignment stress has rendered March entirely non-lucid. I'll do my best to chain to April, and definitely get at least one of these in April, hopefully at least after return-trip jet lag subsides.

As I often wind up in middle earth that should be easy but I may be the only "Hobbit" there

You know, I have never actually read the novel series or watched the movies trilogy before, seriously. So, this task should be interesting. I know that I'm such a loser for that. Lol.

Likewise, I have never seen or read it..My experience with it is from the movie version of a 1864 science fiction novel by Jules Verne. No hobbits n it!

ps: The movie was "Journey To The Center Of The Earth"

I watched the movies but didn't read the books.

Well, vivid and present dreams finally returning after a long absence. However, they mostly involved groups of people annoying me greatly, like a bunch of young hooligans breaking into my car in order to smoke pot there, stripping out all the door lock handles and door trimmings, taking all my change from the change drawer, etc. I kept encountering them over and over again in the following scenes/dreams.

The Hooligans was usns, I only had one joint and 2 girls so we had a clambake in your car (I only smoke in dreams)
My dreams have also gone to hell, Even the couple lucid's are out of control, I simply cannot remember the tasks..I can't even remember them now let alone dreaming.

Yep me too. i incubated my goals pretty intensive this night and got lucid only once... was pretty happy and it was an interesting lucid but nevertheless no memory of goals... just the feeling of superiority "damn i can do anything and all this DC´s are so unaware of their state" feeling like in matrix after neos awakening. and coincidence coincidence 2 guys fly past me and i think "cool they are awaken too" and fly behind them until dream ends...

Have fun guys, make sure you see the RED note on the OP.

Happy Lucids!!

Good one!

I was always afraid that people would cheat on these things.
It's ironic that this is the first time I considered doing one of these assignments, and I eat non-edible things in dreams all the time.
I've never done one of these before. Does it matter that it just happens that I do this particular assignment all the time already? Do I need to do it again? I usually eat mud. I even mentioned it in a recent post. I suspect someone "stole" my idea from that thread. I don't mind, however. It doesn't matter, and I'm happy that others will get to experience this.

Do fools rush in, in April?

This post rather made me laugh, out of everyhing, why mud? Lol

Hmmm seven minutes in heaven AND laying in the clouds. Should be a fun month lol.
Dat red text... You're evil lol

Eating a great one and could be achievable for beginners like me. I am just going to eat anything I see. Most things are inedible. Feeling hungry already! It is a good one to break my serious mind as I would never eat something inedible IWL. Thanks a lot for this idea.

Oh wow, you totally got me, Percy.

And you got me mad. Really mad. So mad I mutterred "How stupid is that..." (which I pretty rarely do).

Well, consider me fooled (again) this year. Sad since otherwise I would have made it!

I totally fell for it, I was so mad you were closing these threads we don't celebrate April's fools here in Catalonia and I didn't realize it was that lol

Great tasks btw, life's crazy right now and I've been slacking a lot, but hopefully soon I'll get back to lucid dreaming. I'm keeping the tasks on a list in the meantime

Is there anything serious in this thread?

I certainly hope not

Just the way I get fooled in my dreams. Not questioning anything. I got caught too and not the first time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I saw the email notification I swallowed the bait. Hook-Line And Sinker and thought DV got too big and wanted to lose a few..

Anyways, My dreams have gone to hell (literally), I spent the night in a graveyard where a guy in black was floating around pulling up souls out of graves and stuffing them into a wooden bucket and I went right down there and told him to put them back but he dropped the bucket and flew off, The souls slipped up out of the bucket like black wraiths and went across the ground back to their own resting place
:

Did a basic and advanced tonight.
Basic 1 eat inedible object.
Advanced 1 drain color.

the world starts appearing around me. Weeee another lucid dream. After a little while in a party, I decide to explore outside. I start running and my wife comes out of nowhere. It is dark out. I take off running and start running into video game likr dead ends. I want to explore more, but find this amusing. My wife is next to me and is like "we gotta go another way." I jump up in the air and then land back down, now the floor is bouncy. I use this to get over the apartment and piles of trash that were stacked to stop me. The sun is barely up and it smells like dew and fog. If ever you have gone running in a field at sunrise in may, this was that. Of course the field was surrounded by trash and apartment buildings. I couldn't bounce out of this one, so I flew up high and saw that there was a forest pretty close. I got over the apartments and trash and land on a much better landscape. Apartments and trash behind me, football field to my right, forest in front, and I have no idea what was on my left. I ran to the forest, enjoying the ease of running, but also realizing that I was losing stability and feeling in my extreme ties. I rub my hands together and see a huge tree (12 feet in diameter)(3.658 meters in diameter) growing at a 60° angle, with branches coming out sideways, but just as big as you would expect from a tree that big, not hindered by the ground or other trees in the vacinity. I climb up an easier tree and jump onto it. It has layer after layer of bark, almost like dragon scales stacking. I gran the bark and eat a bit of it. It tastes like leaves. I notice that the color or the dream is getting less bright, and I must be getting too close to waking. I drain the color from the tree and the rest of the dream follows. I keep climbing in a black and white world, thinking that the tree might turn into a wood dragon, but then I wake up. :/
