Thread: Task OF The Year 2021!!

[Task of the Year : Task 2 : Discover Your Powers : Fail]

Just remembering the tasks is what amazes me. It takes so long but I can do it! We're starting the 5th month of 12 and I'm on task 2. That's why I don't do the monthly tasks haha. I wonder how far I can get here!

Spoiler for Task 2:

My memory of this dream is hazy because it happened so long before I woke up but I remember it was quite vivid as it happened. I was in a shower bath and on every side, there was a bathroom brick wall. There was no way out and the space was very small but I didn't feel claustrophobic. I knew I was in a dream but I wanted to stay attached to the dream, stay engaged with this location. I repeated to myself that this was real to stay engaged. I started to play with the walls, making them shift, recede and come back. At some point doing this, I remember that I had the intention to do the second task of the TOTY so I focused on that. The bathroom disappeared as I thought about the task. "What was it? Powers. Asking the dream about my powers and then playing with them. I remembered! Wow, I remembered! I am ready to begin!" I looked up at the night sky (I was now outdoors in nature). The moon was dim behind a few clouds. I shouted "You heard it! I'm ready!" focusing on being receptive but not on the actual objectives and nothing happened. "Oh wait! I need to become Dimwit first". I concentrated to become Dimwit. I felt myself growing wider and saw my orange skin. At this point, I didn't wake up but I have no memory past this point. I have other dreams after that before I wake up but I don't think those I remembered happened instantly after this one.

I didn't notice it in the dream but it's quite interesting to me that both in this attempt at the TOTY and my successful attempt in the first task, the brick wall was central to the dream. I'm not sure why exactly. Is it because walls are restrictive and strong so I latch on to them seeking dream stability and things tangible. Dimwit, my dream superhero persona himself is named by my lack of in dream lucidity but he's physically characterized by the earth symbol. Stability. Tangibility. When I originally became him, I simply saw my corporeal form take more space, the color of my skin becoming more colored, from white to orange. The dream ambassador woman and I were both interested in the walls and floor at the time so I think that's what inspired Dimwit.

Awesome work, even if you didn't remember all of it. Who knows what happened next?

I feel same way you do about the tasks. I've decided to put off monthly tasks entirely until I do more yearly ones. I'm hoping that when summer vacation starts, I will be able to focus a lot more energy into this. Anyway, your post is inspiring.

I've been too preoccupied with my own lucid dream goals and work lately to do the tasks here. I don't think that I may not do them anytime soon.
You guys keep up the great work!
