Thread: Task of the Month for January 2017

Time to chain!!

For ToTY, can you do the task, wake up and wbtb and have that count as another ld?

But I just got off of an Alien Spaceship.. You want me to get back on that thing?

As long as the task you are doing is in all separate lucid dream for TOTY then you are fine; you can't do more than one TOTY in the same dream. Good luck!

Yep.

You need to record in the waking plane the dream in your preferred dream journal (does not need to be online here, I do it in my notepad next to my night table, no electronics!)

As long as you have recorded your previous lucid, you are good to go.

DEILD and L-DEILD are not permitted. (Gonna add this to the OP)

Woo-hoo! First time I've completed any TOTMs before the month started

I'm chaining Basic I and earning a new Advanced I:

I try to visualize what a Christmas tree with a single present under it would look like, then turn around, expecting to find it. Instead, I find a whole bunch of small, sparse, undecorated trees. I don't see any presents, but I walk over and look under them. I see something small near the wall, so I crawl under the trees to get it. It's a huge pouch of Fruit by the Foot. I tear it open, curious as to what I'll find inside, and I'm almost surprised that it actually has Fruit by the Foot in it. I pull the roll out and see that it's not well rolled, and it's somehow really gooey. I unroll a bit and try a bite. Because it's so gooey, I end up getting a bit of the paper in my mouth, but I decide that, since I'm dreaming, the paper won't be a problem, and I can't even feel it. It tastes just like the real thing. I get some on my fingers, and I have trouble getting it off.

Now that I've completed the first task, I try to recall another one, and I remember the pencil task. I start to form an image of a table with a piece of paper and a pencil; then I notice that there's already a table in front of me, covered with arts supplies, with someone sitting at while drawing. I'm already fixated on the idea of summoning a table and completely ignore the one in front of me. Once I have the image in my mind, I turn around to find a table exactly as I'd pictured it. Walking up to it, I mentally command the pencil to draw something. It rises to a 45 degree angle and starts to scribble all over the paper. Some areas are densely colored in with jagged strokes, and other areas have wide, flowing curves. Oddly, the pencil is drawing in blue. The paper was already half-covered in some kind of picture, and the existing design is quickly hidden by the scribbles.

Full journal

My wings are paranoid!

This means I gotta get back out to "Lexx" again...Maybe get it on with Xev this time

Ps, I know a secret about the man eating plant girl "Leyka"..

I wanted to say, that since I kinda didn't want to do tasks related to specific movies since I didn't see them, it wouldn't be fair to those that didn't see Avatar to have to do a task from movie Avatar and go to Pandora's bio luminescent forest.

So my suggestion is to go to any bio luminescent habitat. Be it Pandora or any other place you can find. And just now I found this - http://huff.to/2huIl0a

New attraction will be opening soon in Florida's Disneyworld. Here is the video of the future ride. Looks awesome! http://mashable.com/2016/12/28/avata...6#70TG_65FROqH

That sure looks like a dreamscape ride

Advanced II fail..
12/30-0400
Here's what happened... It had snowed a foot in an hour and a half and I woke up it was quiet as a tomb, no outside noises and too quiet to sleep, I got up, Read on here for abit then took 3 melatonin and went back to bed with a spaceship on my mind..
I was asleep instantly and on what was supposed to be the Bio-spaceship Lexx but then something made a noise, Maybe an ant or spider roaring and it woke me back up..Crap,
I hate noisy spiders

Tonight I got a short Lucid in which I remembered advanced l
Since the Lucid was pretty early in the night and I sleep tonight in long time I don't remember too good.

Spoiler for Completed advanced l:

my awareness raises gradually until I think that this is a dream and I don't have to follow the plot. I try to think of the tasks. I am with a guy in a room. I remember the massage task but don't find it appropriate so I search a pencil. I find two and take the heavier and better looking. I put it on a table with a piece of paper and say out loud: come on draw me something nice. After two seconds the pencil starts floating and draws a simple face. I say: come on that's all? And it adds around 5 simple points at eyes, eyebrows and mouth so the face indeed look way better. I smile because it remembers me of someone (I know when I woke up...)
I think of more tasks and try to remember advanced ll but I can't and wake up after

Maybe I'll ask the pencil to draw these again. XD

For info my username is Naturespirit, not Naturalspirit

Basic I - Open a forgotten Christmas present - Success (?) I don't recall a tree being part of the scene, is that important to the success? It led to many Christmas themed dreamlets during my DEILD attempt after the LD ended.

Advanced I - Ask a pencil to draw something - Failure

Spoiler for The LD:

I am on a road driving and people are changing lanes strategically to get around people turning left and to keep moving somewhere in a hurry and at some point I am riding a bike instead and I realize I'm dreaming and I start to fly from the bike but then I noticed the dream visuals lessening a bit so I decided to land. I remember the 3 task of the month goals I had planned on doing first but this didn't seem like the right time to try the alien spaceship one. Even before bed while awake and doing some brief planning I somehow forgot about the translucent forest of Pandora, even though that sounds terrific if somewhat difficult. Anyway, I think of the pencil talk and I reach into my front right pocket with my left hand and my back right pocket with my right hand and they are big and loose and empty and I notice the visuals starting to fade again. I look down to the ground and I say but I think I see a forgotten Christmas present and it forms on the ground in front of my feet. It is wrapped in a wrapping paper more like cellophane and it's a blue color between blue and turquoise on the lighter end of the color scale. I start to open it where the paper comes together and I see that there is another layer underneath and I remove that also to see another layer. I start to realize this could continue forever and I confidently summon a pair of scissors in my hand instantly and surprisingly easily and I start to cut through the wrapping material to reveal a nice hard covered sturdy cardboard box with a lid. When I open the lid the first thing on top or a couple of gel inserts clear and the size of the heel of your foot maybe a bit smaller. Under that is a receipt and I'm thinking during the dream that it would be interesting to report to everyone on DV what the receipt said so I looked at it closely but all I recall is that the price was 89 dollars and with tax it was 95 something. Under some packaging paper in the box eventually uncovering the rest of the item which is a very fancy pair of leather slippers perhaps house slippers. They are a shiny brown leather in a thick leather that reminds me of thick rubber and squishy and they have clean stylish black soles. They seem like a very nice pair of slippers even though slippers are not something I would typically look forward to opening for a Christmas present. I wake and try to DEILD. I get only dreamlets, aware I'm dreaming but not full dreams and they kept dissipating so not counting a 2nd LD here, included: picking up string of lit Christmas lights, chips on big plastic storage container lid eating them, me with a santa bag carrying it, big goblet full of perfectly frozen ice cream sharing with nephew, sled and sled tracks in the snow, thick green shiny and partially translucent rectangular plate. Again each of the above dissipating before the next dreamlet appears.

Just over two hours later I have my second full LD, not TOTM related.

DJ: TOTM Early Success & Failure for January Tasks - Morning of 31st December 2016 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Awesome job chainers!!!

And for the rest, good luck and happy lucids!!

Was going to post this as a failure, since it didn't really look like Pandora, but after reading Gab's comment, it might count?

Spoiler for TOTM Bonus:

(Just the relevant bit - I was searching for a forest, after attempting to teleport to Pandora.)A forest with weird ice cream cone like portals are hanging in the air. They are plant like structures of red, white and pink plant fibres spun/grown together like candy floss. I phase through the glass into the forest to get a closer look and see hundreds of these glowing tree portals light up through the forest. It looks stunning. But then I wake up.

Full dream since it was kinda long -
Glowing Candyfloss Portals - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

TOTM advanced i - success

Spoiler for advanced i - ask a pencil to draw something:

I remember the advanced totm- ask a pencil to draw something. I find a pencil and beg it to draw something. I close my eyes to concentrate. Instead of black, the background is white, and the pencil starts drawing. It draws a sketch of a room.

Look at all the nekked dreamers : D It's ok, the month is still young, wing are awaiting for us all.

I would say yes, it should have been under the tree, and also it says so in the task : D But you know what, they way you stayed determined to open the box when new layers kept showing up, that was really great. I know the feeling, when you trying to undress and new t-shirts keep showing up, it get frustrating and not many can keep awareness and wits to finish the task. So I'm gonna give you this one.

Well, it looked stunning and it was glowing as Pandora does. But you yourself named it Candyfloss and portals, haha. I know you can do it, so I'm gonna wait with wings for you till you find some forest with flowers and vegetation.

Wednesday or Thursday will be my day this week : D

De-winged in the middle of winter how am I gonna fly south?

Added the beginner tasks here http://www.dreamviews.com/tasks-mont...ml#post2209566

Then I've described it badly. It was not made of candyfloss. I referred to the glowing structures as portals because the child called them that earlier in the unquoted part of the dream. You know how you look closely at candyfloss you see the individual strands? Like that but on a large scale and formed of vines. Each vine a variant shade between red and white and all glowing, forming these large circular shapes amongst normal forest trees and leaves. Zero sweet confectionary, that was just the only way I could think to describe it.

haha, you made your case.

1/02 2017 Completed Advanced Task II
Poor Leyka

Some of this one has got to go in a spoiler.
I had just finished watching a rerun of "LEXX" Where Leyka (he plant girl) eats the three astornauts and produces a new Zev and went to bed after having some wing fun on here
I woke up standing facing into a corner of my bedroom and said "Holy Shit, That was quick" I thought about molesting myself in bed but said "I have things to do" And remembered the Space Ship Task right away, I didn't even need to teleport, I was just there already on the bridge of the LEXX with the Captain and Zev watching me flying around naked.

Spoiler for May be Nasty:

I flew on past them straight for the husk where Leyka hangs out and at the same time she dropped out of it, We grabbed each other like long lost lovers and flew down a corridor as I found the zipper tab behind her neck and unzipped her nylon skin suit and peeled her like a banana, Underneath she was all nice,soft, girl.. We started in some sort of cubicle but wound up with her face down on the floor and me nailing her from behind while holding her head up by the hair and gnawing on her neck until we just blew up!

It only got dark for a second until the dream changed to sitting on a steep lake shore catching a bucket full of big fish when the bank slid out from under me into the lake covering my fishing rod and fish bucket, I set off to buy new ones and found myself at the computer desk thinking "I better get back to bed before I wake up here" but as I got out of my chair I was waking up anyways..
