Task of the Month for August 2017

**gab** · 07-30-2017 01:46 AM

Ok guys, Percy has asked me to post for August.

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.

How to get your wings

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: one basic or both, one advanced or both, bonus or how many tasks of the year. Please note, that we now have wings for every task. Requesting to join the group will upon approval also grant you access to Lucid Task Club.

Of course you still need to post the pertinent part of the dream here and link to your DJ entry.
Format of your post:
[Basic, Advanced...] -[Name of the Task] - [success or fail] - [pertinent part of a dream] - [link to dj]
For example:
Basic - Drive a car - success

When you post about another successful attempt, please tell me if it was your first or second task from basic or advanced tasks, or first, second... seventh task from the task of the year. I need to know this so I know which wings to give you. If you only say "completed TOTY - flying car" , this doesn't tell me which wings with how many stars should I give you.

Please, make sure you post here your attempts both failures and successes, this will make this post much more dynamic.

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.
You will receive access to the "Lucid Task Club" which is a limited access forum for people that complete a lucid task each month. Members of this club can vote for submitted suggestions for the next month's tasks. Access to the Lucid Task Club will also grant you early access to the next month's tasks, giving you a 2-3 day window to keep your wings for the following month.

Tasks for this month:

Basic Task i - Google search.
Basic Task ii - Taste something inedible.

Advanced Task i - Make the moon blue
Advanced Task ii - Find a nice-looking highrise, pick it up, throw it, and make it look boring before it lands.

BONUS TASK!! - Invert gravity.

August BEGINNER TASKS: (Anybody feel free to have fun with these, but you'll get wings only if you are a beginner. Some will change each month!)

1. Slow down, look around, describe what you see.
2. Touch the ground. What is it? Grass, asphalt?
3. Look at your body. What are you wearing?
4. Say something out loud.
5. Look behind you.
6. Look at the skies. Are there clouds, stars?
7. Make your fingers longer, or your hand by trying to reach for something further away

advanced - Turn moon to blue - fail

Then I remembered the TOTM - change the moon to blue. I read what dreamvixen said in the thread and at that time I decided that I want to do this task.

I looked up and it was at night, but overcast. I kept looking for the moon. Did the "hey look, there is the moon", but it didn't work. That's when I said forget it and got some more sx.

**gab** · 08-08-2017 06:52 PM

advanced - make moon blue - fail (again)

Not having luck with the moon, in general. Like ever. Had fun in rest of the dream though.

Started walking around and remembered the Turn the Moon blue TOTM. Looked for the Moon, but didn't see it, again. So I remembered some personal goals I set my intent on doing during WBTB.

Completed Basic Task II
8/21
5:30am Bob and a little girl were cooking something on a grill that looked like burnt corn and a pot was boiling with water and something else about the size of eggs in it, I asked Bob what it was and he said "Rocks, I'm making soup"..I thought about eating some but I didn't have any teeth!
"Hey"..No teeth?, This is a dream, I'm supposed to taste those rocks"
I reached in the bubbling pot and got a rock and popped it in my mouth but it fell straight thru out the bottom and bounced on the floor, (It tasted like rock)
The little girl laughed "Do it again-do it again" I poped in another and it hit the floor like the first one, The little girl was ecstatic.."Do it again-do it again"
I didnt really like the rocks but she was so thrilled I continued until I woke up

Basic task 1 and Advanced 2 look pretty fun. I'm gonna take a nap in a few minutes so let's hope I remember to do it.

**Lang** · 08-28-2017 05:24 AM

^Best of luck!

**DreamDirector** · 08-28-2017 02:58 PM

Honestly, the Google search is probably the most difficult for me.
All of the others are not so difficult.

I find that electronic devices and written print can be strange to me in dreams, almost like they are not in English or even written in any human alphabet I have seen.

I do recall a dream I had as I fell asleep reading a book, I don't remember when I fell asleep I just remember the writing in the book getting more and more strange looking until it hit a point where it was just gibberigh entirely. I rember thinking how odd it was that I couldn't read the book anymore and it was even a little alrming.
This was a long long time ago though when I was a kid. So, didn't happen in AUgust, at least not in August in this millennium.

Hey folks!

It is time to chain

This is the slowest summer ever!!

But not only here, the whole internet is slower haha.

**ShadowLilla** · 08-31-2017 11:07 AM

Aww, I missed all of these! Hopefully I'll stay active next month so I can actually complete some tasks after a while. I would love to do the Google search anyway, tho. If I just happened to get a LD in a good environment for that (like, not in a forest).
