Task of the Month for September 2018

**spellbee2** · 09-02-2018 12:08 AM

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 - Have a bubble bath. (naturespirit)
Basic Task ii - Tell a dog to "Fetch!" and see what it brings you. (Saizaphod)

Advanced Task i - Lift the largest object you can find. Once you lift one huge object, find something bigger and lift it. Push your limits! (spellbee2)
Advanced Task ii - Detach any body part of yours. (Saizaphod)

BONUS TASK!! - Travel back in time and save the dinosaurs from extinction. (ZacNabz)

SEPTEMBER'S 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. Take a walk on the beach. Shoes optional.
5. Eat some food. Does it taste like it does in real life?
6. Find text you can read, then look at it again. Has it changed?
7. Pinch yourself. (It's not always a great RC, but still fun to do)

I recall ending up taking a bath in a lucid a while ago, it was quite nice.

Will be good to repeat that while taking time to incorporate all senses

Almost the end of the month, and no takers? Come on, y'all get in there and finish the month strong.

Hi spellbee2

I'm a totally "Non-lucid" dreamer

Please consider adding a task for "totally "Non-lucid" dreamers.

I love dream tasks

I bet there are far more "Non-lucid" dreamers than there are Lucid dreamers.

Maybe, if Dreamviews catered for the majority of dreamers
Maybe more people would come here and join in (maybe)⚘

I would love to take on some of these tasks too, but I don't even get lucid often (or long enough) to even consider attempting them at the moment.

Though, I suppose I kind of did this in the DJ entry I just made, it wasn't technically a dream. Would that count?

I'd like to try and do these lucid challenges that I see on threads like this but I feel like if I tried to take on a challenge like this without getting lucid in a month I'd demotivate myself without meaning to. It's why I haven't posted in any of the lucid challenge threads or anything like that. What do you think/any advice?

I completed the Bubble bath basic task and would love to get my first pair of wings

October tasks are now up. Sorry for the delay (end of the fiscal year and what not). https://www.dreamviews.com/tasks-mon...ml#post2230193

For those of you who earned your wings and haven't gotten them yet, I'll add them now, and give you a bonus week or so to fly around before I clip them off again.

Seems kind of counter-intuitive, when our whole site is based around the goal of lucid dreaming. The whole point of these tasks is to give people goals for their upcoming lucids, so they don't just aimlessly wander around and lose lucidity. Plus, with non-lucid tasks, can you really say you actively did them? You may have just gotten lucky and dreamed the exact scenario for the task, but that isn't as much dreaming skill as it is incubation skill.

What do you mean, "another boring lucid dreaming site"?

And okay, you're right, not the whole site is about lucid dreaming - we obviously have Dream Interpretation, Extended Discussion, Beyond Dreaming, etc. for various other dream-related (and some non-dream-related) topics. But why do you think we have so many tutorials on becoming lucid? Why do you think our podcasts are focused on lucid dream control and lucidity induction techniques?

Our first and foremost goal is to teach people about lucid dreaming, and equip them to experience lucid dreams on a regular basis. Frankly, I don't know why you seem so surprised - our mission's never changed in the 5+ years I've been here, and it never will.

And since it's now October, and this conversation is no longer about the September tasks, I'll direct any further off-topic discussion here: https://www.dreamviews.com/tasks-mon...off-topic.html
