Thread: Tasks of the Month for September 2020

Thank you for taking over for this month! I greatly appreciate it!

Okay everyone, you got this!!

Going to try to get some wings this month . Focusing on the basic tasks for my LD practice reboot. I often encounter clear bodies of water with fish swimming in them in dreams (it's a dream sign in fact) so I will focus on that. The restaurant one sounds fun, too!

Both food and water have been occurring in dreams, on more than one occasion. Last night I was canoeing on a large body of water (and filming with mobile), and earlier this week I actually looked through a clear-bottom dock on a river and saw fish!

Basic Task i - Dive underwater in the clearest ocean you can find and swim by the fishes. (Paralyzed) - success

Spoiler for Basic Task 1 Success:

I make it to the beach. I think Oh great! I'm going to be able to do my monthly task! I get in the crystal clear water, and start trying to swim, next to my neighbor. Every time I start swimming, and go fast, the crazy lady grabs my leg, and pulls me down to drown. I have to pry her hands off my leg. Then I start walking, and am fine, start swimming, and she grabs me again. I realize the pattern. I realize that if I walk, and go slow in the water, she can't get me. If I try to swim, going faster, she gets me. So, I walk.

Eventually, we all get to the reef area. Now I know I can swim safely, and do so. I see beautiful Sergeant Major fish, with their yellow and black stripes, all around. A party boat goes past, and I have to duck under the water so it passes above me without hurting me. Then, a military boat arrives. All of us swimmers grab onto the outside railing of the boat for a free ride back home. We arrive back on land, and I walk back to my house. My neighbor comes over and gives me something. It's some kind of charger. I open it, and inside are air pod ear buds. I think this is cool. I ask him his name. "Minson. I'm Minson." I think what kind of name is that? I go over and give him a hug. "Thank you, Minson."

BONUS TASK!! - Enlarge a DC or shrink yourself and fly into the pupil of the DC's eye. OR, you can go to a mirror and fly into your OWN eye! (blobularwindmil) - fail

Spoiler for Bonus Task - Fail:

I walk into the kitchen, my son is there with my mom, and my daughter, who is a little baby again, is doing something dangerous. She's on a ladder, using it as a bouncey swing. I am scared, and I try to go help her. I mess her up though, and cause more harm than good. I am getting in the way. I realize if I just back off, she's fine.

I attempt to fly into my son's eye (the bonus task), but a fear block prevents me from making it in. I think I was afraid of hurting my son by doing this.

Non-lucid: I arrivedd to a beach on the ocean with a section of very clear water, I thought about how cold the water probably was, and was slightly concerned about scary fish. The clear water was really beautiful.

One down.

...

A moment later, I was suddenly catapulted up into a now brighter blue sky. Ah, how I missed flying this way. However, I worried I might've gone into a blue void. Once again, the dream almost collapsed. I glanced around, when I noticed a little island far below, seemingly a desert island, if not for the small buildings dotting the center. Heedlessly, I dove down towards the shore, stabilizing the dream in the process.

...

Anyway, this presented the perfect opportunity to try one of the TOTMs. By this point, I was only a few hundred feet from landing on the sands. So, I tried tilting towards the water. Rather than move conventionally, I unintentionally stopped falling, then translated in 10 meter increments towards the water. I hummed the bonus theme from Aero the Acrobat as I did this. Speaking of water, a reef ranged through shallow parts. Amazingly, rays were looming over the reef.

I dropped myself with even greater anticipation. Before long, I splashed into the deeper end of the sea. My vision blacked out for a moment. When I came to, the first thing I saw was a bunch of rays scurrying away from me. I could clearly note two rows of white dots lining the backs of their otherwise grey skin. Would've enjoyed swimming alongside with them for more than 10 seconds, if my instinctive need for air didn't drive me to surface.

I resolved myself to dive in again. But, for reasons unknown, I could only keep the front half of my body submerged. Furthermore, the water suddenly got too murky to see anything. The dream faded. I woke up with a gasp.

Advanced Task i - -Turn into a different state of matter (Liquid, gas, non-Newtonian liquid (A more stable liquid)). Either through hopping into a pod and having it 'transform' you into one of those states, or through some other means (Maybe a genie, perhaps?). (Jdoggad) - success

Spoiler for Advanced Task 1:

Semi-lucid- flying away from a gigantic balrog in the sky, land in my parents back yard. I become lucid again. Realize I don't need to run. I jump off of a wooden wagon onto the grass. I remember the task and attempt to turn myself into liquid mercury. Nothing is happening at first, I am concentrating, and finding it difficult. Then I remember. I'm not really human, my form is an illusion. Suddenly, I melt into a pool of liquid mercury in the grass. Now. How to move? I very slowly goop myself around in the grass, moving only a few inches. This is hard work. I'm going to have to think about a different approach to movement next time.

Advanced Task ii - -Invert gravity and navigate through a building. (ryytytut) - fail

Spoiler for Advanced Task 2:

In a pine forest again, I use trees to practice inverting gravity (advanced task 2), although did not go through any buildings. I succeeded and sort of sideways-ed jumped off of trees, 2-3 times.
