Spoiler for totms:

Advanced TOTM - Spin around and teleport yourself to a random location. - fail - I don't remember where I ended up.
...
I remembered first TOTM and started to spin. My cat in my outstreched arms, kinda like 2 ice skaters, haha. I was giggling so hard. At first I was just spinning in one spot and I lost my vision. Then I felt familiar sensation in my head and I was lifted up and carried up to the right. I'm pretty sure I landed somewhere but I don't remember.


I'm walking down a street at night and remember the Advanced TOTM - Lift a car with super strength and carry it somewhere. - fail. I forgot to carry it somewhere.
Streets are empty, but a huge red fire truck just turns a corner out of my view. I want to go after, thinking "really, you had to pick this huge car?" it when a huge green garbage truck turns to my street and is heading towards me. I'm thinking I'm gonna get so run over if this doesn't work.

I read Ophelia's DJ during the WBTB and she teleported people. So I outstrech my arm and will the truck to float up. I'm not even surprised when it does. It wobbles a bit about 5-10 feet above ground. I want to do more, so I turn it upside down then let it drop. It's all crumbled and I see some movement in the cabin. I walk up to it and say "oh yeah, and the driver si fine, he is ok".


I'm in some city between building. I remember the BONUS TASK - Go into a room and close the door. Tell yourself that while you were in the room, time stopped for you, but continued to advance outside of the room and it's now 100 years into the future. Describe what the future is like!

I look into a window of couple of houses but they look scary. I find one that's ok and I tell myself "this is my house". I walk in and remember I need to go in a room, so I walk through an empty room to another room and close the door.

I was preparing for this as I was falling asleep. I planned on finding a lever on a wall which I would pull and a counter would show numbers go up to the future.

So I put my hand on a wall looking for a lever. It's not there. I say "I turn back and there will be a lever". I turn and nothing. I look again and there is a metal ring hanging on a chain that's coming out of a hole in a wall above my head. I say "ok this will do". I pull on a chain, it turns some flywheel and I hear it turn fast then slow down and stop. Before it stops, I pull the chain again and I do this 5 times, because 5 times 20 years is 100, right?

I walk out the door and now that room has some people in it, sitting on chairs. I say "oh, hi" and I rush to the main door to see outside. It looks even older than before and the houses are all different. Now there is a roof over the whole street. I'm thinking maybe this is a museum and I take another door to get out to the "real world". But it leads me to same place. I get frustrated and start to think that this is how the future will look like and I'm not liking it.

Sounds like you're on a roll.
Nice wings too :yddd:

Failed the Advanced Task i last night. I'm going to keep trying though, those shiny new wings have really motivated me!

Spoiler for Relevant Part of Failed Advanced Task i:

I'm in the same kitchen and the same DC is there, but now I remember a ToTM - teleport to a random location. I spin to teleport, but the DC is still trying to distract me, and I only end up a few feet away. My lucidity level becomes very low and instead of getting rid of the DC, I just keep trying while they're distracting me. Then another two DCs enter and I'm even more distracted. I lose lucidity and soon later wake up.

You missed a night? :panic: I did too but I blame the weather :yddd:

Spoiler for basic ii fail:

I become lucid. I am in my home, and I attempt to set on fire, (TOTM basic ii). I fail. I attempt to find a fire-lighter behind a book. Instead there are just bizarre badges and a heavy battery.

I can't believe I was looking for a firelighter!

Finished: http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/ibea...13-2016-79055/

Spoiler for succuss Basic Task ii succuss::

Lucid. Imazu's Task of Mask: Succuss: I had a dream that I was an agent for the CIA. I recall that they recruited me to retrieve some secret papers from Romania. It smelt like mothballs in the room.
This was when I knew I was dreaming. Then I decided to do my Reality Checks and then I went on to do the imazu's tasks. I remember that walked outside the agency. Next, the scene changed and I was standing right outside of some old farmhouse. Then I decided to make fire come out of my hands as I walked to closer and closer to the house. Then I lit the house on fire by making a gas can appear out of nowhere then I lit the house on fire. Soon, the house was fully engulfed in flames. Then I went home. I remember turning the tv once I got home and saw that there was a fire that was inspected to be an arson and they were looking for me. By this time, I destabilized and I felt really bad because that family was killed in the fire.

Spoiler for Advanced Task i, succuss::

Spin around and teleport yourself to a random location. Describe the location and how it felt. (Xavier) I had a dream that I was in a dorm lounge look like when I went to school were like, at college. I remember that there were a lot of students in this lounge. They were all about to watch a movie or something.
I remember that one guy that looked Rob R that I went to school with. He has a crush on me but, I wasn't ever interested in him. I recall that I was like, "Look! I have a boyfriend and you are not my type."
This was when I realized that I was dreaming, so I decided to do Xavier's task and spin around and teleport yourself to a random location. I recall spinning around hearing that annoying 80's song, "You Spin Me Round by Dead Or Alive" and I was teleport myself to some weird war aid shelter. The shelter looked like a red brick shelter with of tons of secret passages. [/COLOR]Then I woke up.

Another task-y LD, did first 3 "12 days of Christmas" challenge, but again couldn't remember any TOTMs. My approach for "maids a-milkin'" was true to form :chuckle:

12 days of Christmas LD

Compteted the last advanced task (car) in a lucid nightmare. Not fun or worth suffering to complete a task over. I ended up carrying the car into the sky before dying to a nuclear bomb.

Basement world with time skips. Lucid nightmare - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

:doh:

Spoiler for advanced task II fail:

This was a more carefree LD than most and I was having fun just playing. But I remembered the Task of the Month that I was trying to do, "lift a car". However, I didn't remember the second part of the task, "carry it somewhere". As I went out through the front door I felt like my lucidity was slipping, so I tried to clarify my sight. Outside were two cars, mine to the right, and a metallic green Jeep with a rainbow vanity plate with the letter "M" that my dad had the hood up on. I grabbed it by the front bumpers and lifted it with relative ease, then tossed it over on top of my car.

Keep up the great work, everyone!! :D

Love the new wings! Great work to whoever's responsible! They attracted me like a moth to the flame. I completed the spinning task because it sounded fun and I hadn't tried spinning in a while. Now I might be eager to try for some of those other wing colors, especially the rainbow one (TOTY I think?).

The lucid with the TOTM completed:

Spoiler for TOTM spinning success:

I am walking along a path on a sunny day and I am engulfed by the beauty of the setting and how the light is hitting some flowers and miscellaneous landscaping. I am thinking this is a beautiful waking life side effect of my new practice. I say to myself if this were a dream I would fly over all of this and I lift myself up on my toes like I do IWL and I begin to float. I gave myself a mild-mannered "how about that...I'm actually dreaming this" with a short chuckle...a more calm knowing than the aha realizations. I play around with my flying staying no more than 50 feet or so high and swooping down in some aerial acrobatics which feel quite realistic and fun though maybe not the strong stomach effect, a bit muted. I think of the spinning TOTM which was a dream activity I wanted to revisit and play with and I spin while seemingly still floating many feet off the ground and the spin feels very realistic and I seem to close my eyes a few times like a kid often does while spinning but it could have also been the effect of the spin on my vision, I don't remember consciously choosing to close my eyes. I think of wanting to arrive at a beach but then I remember that it's supposed to be a surprise where I arrive. I hear upbeat music while spinning and I stop a few rotations after hearing the music to go the opposite direction to try to rewind back to that "location" but the music is gone so I start spinning again and decided that should be good enough and stop and I see a big dark room and a open doorway I pass through. On the other side is like this large holographic display maybe equivalent to a 100" screen TV but transparent with a clear outline and it is displaying an older style computer animation of a girl walking around in a simple maybe only three color animation. As I watch it the animation looks more refined. I move on and see the back view of a thin female (assuming) of unknown age wearing skinny jeans or tight pants, tan in color, and she has brown hair down to about her shoulder blades and a light colored top. I called out for her to come back but she was already ducking into another hall ahead and to my left. I decide to stay where I am at and shortly after a group of ladies to my right come strolling into this large room which is still dark (though the details have been clear since the big holographic screen animation, though never as vibrant as the scene with the sunlight on the flowers). I think the ladies were residue from the Incorporated TV show. They were wearing skimpy evening wear, mostly little black dresses but also a red dress or two. Dream fades to me in bed.

I've missed this thread. Been busy in the workbooks and life and had been only doing my personal lucid goals, and somewhat luke-warmly at that. Maybe those new wings will give a boost to my goal setting.

Whoa, I got those wings fast! It's not automated is it?

Yeey, fogelbise is here! Congrats on your Advanced task.

New wings are awesome, we love them. Spellbee is responsible, haha. Here they are all in their glory http://www.dreamviews.com/tasks-month-year/162375-congrats-toty-achievers-full-stack-totm-achievers.html


EDIT:
Ofc it's automated. iSee post, iWing :D

Did the bonus task. In the future I saw, they had converted to wind power and most of the houses were windmills. They had flying bicycles with sails too! :)

Spoiler for TOTM Bonus: The future:

Feel paralysis and shaking. A white wall appears next to the bed. I wait for things to stabilise and then stand up and pinch my nose for a long while to convince myself this is a dream.

Through the door is an unfamiliar house and a strange bald headed man approaching. I duck out of another door into a garden. It's time to do a few tasks. The next Christmas task requires a goose. I start searching the garden. Finally a goose runs out from the shrubs into the path. I catch the goose and pet it, talking to it and asking it to lay a golden egg for me. Finally a golden egg drops down behind the goose. The egg is not heavy at all; must be gold plated rather than solid gold.

The other thing I wanted to try tonight was the bonus TOTM. Heading back into the house I shut the doors and draw the curtains over the windows. Out loud I announce that time is passing outside but frozen in here. We will be 100 years in the future. To focus my will I kneel on the ground, pressing the palms of my hands down into the carpet and repeating my intention.

After about half a minute I exit the room via the window. Straight away the difference is apparent. The view is of a city overlooking a bay. The sky is a mixture of deep blue, purple and pink, a beautiful sunrise. The city is full of buildings with sails - windmills spinning lazily in the breeze. Down on the bay are several yachts with white sails. In the sky are small bicycles that also have sails!

I fly around for a bit before spotting some people sitting on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea. Thinking there is a part of the task that requires talking to someone I land and talk to a woman with long dark hair, asking her what she thinks of me travelling to their time. She just laughs, not in a cruel way; happy, as if my question is unexpected. I ask what year it is, and she asks if I mean "in dwarfish". Erm, yeah. She says something in an unusual sounding language.

After the conversation I decide to fly down around the bay. Following the line of the cliffs, there is a secluded beach filled with pools of water. An old man with a staff is standing alone on the beach. Recalling the next Christmas task, I ask him for a magical ring. He hands me what looks like a £2 coin with the middle removed. It is large, so I slide the ring onto my thumb. The world spins.

The ring has taken me back to the present day. I approach a building and see my friend NH sitting by the door. Inside are AB and MR, talking quietly about the day ahead. They are eating breakfast. I walk over to see what food is available, and wake up.

So is that a "full stack" or do I need the other basic and advanced tasks? (I'm just happy to have all the awesome wings!) :D

So is that a "full stack" or do I need the other basic and advanced tasks? (I'm just happy to have all the awesome wings!) :D

congratulation. sounds like a nice lucid you had.
for the stacking: at the moment you just need one basic and advanced so you should be good ;)


i also got a coin similar to you when i asked for ring to make better fireballs (it worked like a charm in this one dream^^)

i tried to think of the bonus totm this night. i had a full on dream where i tried and summoned different fireballs and effects out of my hand but no spark of lucidity at all.. .:)

Lighting a house dream

Quote:

---

The female DC opened her pocket on her jacket and a paper came out and folded into the shape of a house. I was surprised as I haven't seen something like that before. The male DC said snap your hands and I did. The origami house burst into a blue flame. I asked why I did that and he responded "it's your task of the month, you just have one more basic but I'm not sure what it is". I was so shocked that I woke up. After waking up, I checked the forums to see what the missing ToTM was and saw that it was see what you can eat at a buffet. I will try to complete that one whenever i can.

---

Buffet dream:

Quote:

---

I see someone familiar but he isn't a friend. He is the white haired kid from lucid dream one, the one I don't remember well. I remembered it better in the dream and that's why I knew he wasn't a good person. After seeing him, I became lucid. I saw he carried a sword like mine, and asked him where he was going. He replied looking for a friend, just like you. He then requested to use my phone and I let him. I also knew that I should attempt the last ToTM this dream. After putting the phone to his ear, he said "they aren't picking up, they must be dead. Catch you later." He then walks away. At that, I hurry, sword in hand gliding through the mall to the food court. I go to a Chinese buffet restaurant and ask what I can eat. The lunch lady who was taking my order said "nothing for a dreamer without an identity". I look at my phone and see that the lock screen has been replaced by a blood red picture of a red butterfly with its wing fallen off

I remember that the current task of the month is to find a buffet. I picture a table full of food in a hallway, open the door, and go out. I do end up in a hallway, but there's no food. The hallway dead-ends to my right at another picture window, so I follow it around a corner to my left. I see an open doorway to my left and a stairwell (going down) to my right. ... Turning around, I see that there's now a plastic card table set up between a new doorway and the stair railing. Some of my kids are arranging bags of candy on it. It's not quite the buffet I'd been planning on, but it's still a table full of food, so I think it's close enough.

Full journal

Advanced - lift a car and carry it - success

3. - Same city, over some highways and freeways partially suspended in the air. I'm watching cars pass by when I remember the TOTM - lift a car and carry it somewhere.

Quote:

---

I stop a yellow car with my hand up and I pick it up with my hands. It turns into a radio, so I put it on my shoulder and listen to the music while I go and pick up some more cars. I lift one up and put it on a tractor trailer that's near by, so it still goes somewhere after I stopped it, haha. The driver looking at me is Tom Cruise.
I pick up few more cars, same way by standing in front of them and lifting them with my hands. They are weightless. I move them around a bit and put them down. Just as I practiced during day, haha.

So that's what you meant, I thought you were just bragging about YOUR new wings :yddd:
Are regulars allowed to get beginner wings too ?

Merry Christmas everybody :yddd:

I was able to see some future. I think I will redo the task if I get lucid again this month because it seems interesting and I think it can be more prominent.

I did it twice but it only worked once

Spoiler for bonus task:

-...I tell him I want to fast forward time and ask him if he has a watch for me. He puts a wristwatch on the table and I put my finger over the seconds hand an start spinning. I don't see that the watch moves faster but I keep doing it. Then I phase out of the house and look around. This time nothing seems to have changed. We walk around and up a street...

-I remember the totm and concentrate on my goal to fast foreword time. I write with my hand on the wall something like "100 years in the future" I strengthen my intention by repeating it in my head for several times. I move back out on the balcony and jump/fall down from it and the dream is pretty unstable. I rub my hands and the visuals come back. In the first moment it looks like nothing changed but I try to keep my thoughts positive and keep looking around. I see a police car that looks unusual.I go around the corner and see more and more untypical stuff. There are two police motorbikes that look bulgy in the front.( reminded me of a whale of some kind) I see no people or atleast they don't seem striking. I keep moving the street and notice a building that seem to be a hospital but it has huge similarity to a church because it has a green glowing cross as a sign. A garage door opens and a small car sized spaceship flys out and in the sky. Shortly after I think I wake up.
All in all this future was more dirty and let's call it poor like in a dystopia. Maybe comperable to battlestar Galactica where its not this typical sci fi overload.

Here the DJ entry


I like the new new wings nice to see that the stars are more clear now. I thought that no one read my comment in the off topic thread ;-)

And I think I qualified for full stack wings yay... :-)
