Thread: Task OF The Year 2021!!

First attempt at task 3, failed, but I think I will get it soon.

Spoiler for Task 3 - Find a Training Facility - Fail:

Lucid now, I say "Take me to the lucid dream party!!" I rise into the air, but realize the party is tonight, and this is just a nap. So, I change plans. "Take me to the lucid dreaming training facility ... [after-thought] - for super heroes!" I am whisked away into the air outside, and down the street I go, flying high above. Just letting the dream take me. It's beautiful and cool outside, but the sky is grey like it just rained.

I convert myself into super hero form while flying, my nails turn pink. Dream starts to destabilize as I realize I'm not really interacting with my environment, I'm all up in my head [like so often in waking life]. I immediately grab some leaves that I fly by, and pause the flight. I look at my hands, I crunch up the leaves, feeling raindrops. They look like elephant ears growing from a tree. I shout out to the dream "Time extension!" "Stabilize the dream!" "Clarity now, increase clarity." The last line works. The dream is instantly stabilized, and everything is now ultra vivid. I keep on going on the flight, asking again to be taken to a lucid dreaming training facility for super heroes. However, I bring half a leaf with me to keep in my hand, to use it to keep stable.

Eventually I fly over a house in a neighborhood, and it takes me around back. I drop something, thinking its the leaf, and look down to see a grey rag. The dream eventually lands me on inside of a back porch, but I can't hold on, and lose the dream.

Keep on going! You got this! As Cap would say, "Whatever it takes!"

Leaves with water droplets are a favorite of mine in dreams!

I had a very short dream that I was laying in bed in Avenger's compound, I got up and told everyone what happened in some mission that had to do with Hydra. Hulk told me that shouldn't be out of bed but, I didn't listen. Then I passed out. It took place after Endgame. No Tony and no Cap. I didn't get a chance to do a task.

LOL, I guess that fits with "Light Girl."

I was just on Netflix and the top of the page trailer was for Shadow and Bone, a show about Alina who can summon and manipulate light. It made me think of you Light Girl haha!

[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!

Nice. I got Task ii at Wednesday. Finally!

Spoiler for TOTY 2021 Task ii - Discover Your Powers:

...Once again, I try conjuring my superhero costume, without effect. So instead, I turn to my surroundings. Certainly, there's worse places to find such a thing than a department store. I reach for a nearby rack, where I happened to pull out a black garbage liner. Not what I was looking for. Still, I wrapped it around my shoulder, expecting it would change later on.

After some more sifting, I found a pair of black leather touring pants. Perfect. I donned it immediately. I briefly turned my attention to my torso, when I found that, instead of a trash bag, I was wearing a black leather jacket, deep pockets lined at the midsection. Not quite a touring jacket, but close enough. I then look down, and noticed my having black leather low top hiking boots. Again, not exactly what I wore last time, but acceptable. Next was a helmet. By happenstance, my hand was already digging through a nearby rack. I pull out what what I had, and, surprise surprise, it was a black motorcycle helmet. It had no skull print, though I ain't complaining. Despite the dark tint on its visor, wearing it didn't really affect my vision. All I was missing was a set of gloves, but I decided I'd gloss that over for the moment.

Now, with that settled, I rush off, isolating myself at a far off wall. There, I saw my reflection on a window. To my confusion, the image was of my wearing bedclothes yet again. I look at a different window, and saw my costume, only, it was superimposed on my own form. Thought it best to ignore these illusions.

As per the task, I call out to the dream to grant me powers. Soon, my own voice echoed in my mind.

"Uh... you can shrink, and... fly, I guess?", the voice stammered.

Almost there. Calming my nerves, I try using my super powers. It took only seconds to fly, though for the moment, I opted only to hover a few inches off the ground. I then concentrated to shrink down. Steadily, my surroundings became larger and larger, until I was only inches in height.

At my new size, I could slide through an indent between the floor and wall. Upon doing so, I found myself in a poorly lit bathroom, floating over a pair toilet stalls. The voices of male voices boomed in the distance, their footsteps rumbling louder as they approached. This was my cue to get out of here. I allowed myself to wake up briefly, feeling satisfied at a task well done.

Oh, in the same dream loop, I even tried looking for another DV hero, but nothing turned up of it.

Spoiler for Where's Dimwit?:

...On a lark, I opted to look around for other DV superheroes. But as I strolled around, I noticed the store was peculiarly empty. I called out for Dimwit (the only hero that came to mind at the moment), though nothing seemed to happen. Ah, well. I casually resumed my jaunt until the dream collapsed again

Congrats, Relic Wraith!! Wow! Another member with shrinking powers. Rock on!

Ah, I failed you! Next time! Congrats in completing the second task!

Really close to getting Task 3.

Spoiler for Task 3 Fail:

I get up and look around. I attempt to fly out the glass door, it bends like rubber as I push, eventually I see an opening at the top and just climb out of it. Outside in the field now, I fly a bit, it's jungle-y. I wrack my brain for what to do, then remember I'm on the training facility task. I figure my best bet is to ask DCs for help, rather than search for the facility by myself again. I go to a neighbor's backdoor porch and ask them "Is this the super hero training facility?" It's a man, a woman, and some kids. I think the man looks familiar. [Upon waking realized he was Mark Ruffalo, aka The Hulk] The man says "No, sorry, but I can't help you." I leave and head to the next house. I ask them the same thing. They say, "No, but that other guy knows about the training facility." "Are you sure? He said no." They nod their head.

I wrack my brain again for what to do. I decide I'll just show him. If he really does know, then maybe he will want to help.

It's completely dark outside, but I lift my hand and say loudly "LIGHT GIRL!". I concentrate on drawing light into my hand. It's tricky but I get several different streams of beautiful white light sparkling into my hand, forming a ball of energy. The beams extend from my hand into the night sky. Suddenly I hear "OK, OK, come here already." I go over there, and the man is waving me to come closer. "How'd you do that?" "Well, it was tricky, but I used the light from the moon and the buildings." "Wow. Ok. I'll take you to the facility. But we can't stay here, it's not safe for them. Follow me."

The woman and kids wave me off excitedly with big smiles. We head out front through a gate and walk a ways. We end up on a boardwalk (near the beach?). I tell him that I may lose lucidity soon, and if I do, I will seek him out in a future dream. He says "Ok." The boardwalk leads to some building. We're on a wooden deck. There's a bicycle in the way, I bump into it and have to fix it, leaning it back on the railing. The man is putting his face into some water spray (sort of like a water fountain but more forceful). I go and wash my hands after him. I notice a beautiful blonde woman standing nearby, next to another bike. She looks like she's a definitely a super hero. I turn toward the man, feeling an urgency, and say "I'm afraid I don't have much longer." He says, "What time is it?" Just then, I wake up.

I don't think it qualifies because I didn't ask for an initiation task. Next time.. At least I made progress

So exciting! Even if it takes us a long time to complete our tasks, we're making progress!

Aww! Two shots at task 3 today, but I missed them. It think Torpor got me! The task attempts were practically the entirety of both dreams, so I'll just link the DJ entry.

I also gave a shot last week in an LD. In short, I flew around in the night sky, landed near an amateur baseball field, looked for an entrance for the superhero facility in the dugouts, and the dream faded.

Torpor!! Hahaha, awesome.

So, I really love your technique here: (Quote)

"Uh, I'm here for the Super Hero League?", I responded uncertainly.
"Take a number and follow the arrow.

You automatically expected it to be the right place, and so it was. I'm going to try this next time, too, because it seems searching for the facility is eating up all of my lucid time. That, and I'm going to just ask for my initiation task. No more running around searching. It's time to get this done.

Anyway... awesome work Relic! FireflyMan is awesome.

If I were to redo this theme (or when making future suggestions), I would think about less traveling to required destinations, and more working with whatever DCs and environment we have on hand.

Spoiler for Task Of The Year Task 5 (Fail) Didn't too close..:

It was in the year 1969. I knew that I was in a dream because the characters and the year are different. I went back in time. I question the dream, how I got there. I was myself, in the dream.
I did six or seven of my RC. I was there in the middle of watching the original Ant-Man and Wasp take down a Hydra Helicopter. At one point, there was a lot of blood because someone who worked for Hydra was also a giant and got hit by the horizontally-spinning rotors. Hank in the dream was Giant-man in the dream at one point. At this point I wanted to do a task of the year for the 5th task but, someone slammed a door woke me up.

It sounds pretty intense!

what if in most of your dreams your solo? Since most of my dreams I'm solo and I might be fighting bad guys (like the one where I turned into a flame for somereason). The only times I'm not flying solo is when I travelled back in time and ended up in the dream (which actually pre-dates, the flame dream by a couple of days) and was at either Avenger's complex or at Tony Stark's place (At the time, I hadn't watch Captian America civil war, but from blurb of the surrounding in that dream matches the area where Vision plays chess by himself in the mentioned movie so I guess it was the complex) but then in a villia of some sort and see Wanda Maximoff (aka Scarlet Witch) as my "hall mate". But anyway who are you suppose to ask if you're literally are solo character most of the time in your dream?

Before bed, you could try setting the intention to join a team and set the lucid expectation to do so. How many tasks have you done already? You may want to at least start with your Alter-Identity and your Discover you powers first.

Also, you may want brush up on some the characters and their relations to one another.

“Sorry I’m late it was crazy busy at the store!”

By that I mean its 7 months in but I’m going to get started with this TOTY! I wasn’t sure if I was ready but having read the amazing tasks and seen some of the experiences so far I’m dying to get involved! I’ve got some catching up to do so my first attempt will be tonight!

Spoiler for Task 3 - Success:

There's a crowd around me. I float above them. I quickly ask "Does anyone have any important messages for me?" to the DCs. No one responds. I take off in flight to a nearby building. Once there, I land and talk to 2 ladies standing outside, one of them in a booth structure attached to the house.

"I'm here for the super hero training facility - I'm Light Girl."

The lady at the front regards me with a nod. "Yes, this is the facility."

"Can I have my initiation test?"

"Show me what you've got."

I transform, using my fist in the air, and I am suddenly wearing a green bikini with jingle bells attached! OK.... This is new. I look pretty sexy. My body is much more perfect than in real life. Then, I draw in the moonlight into my hands as I've done before. It creates bands of rainbow-white light into my palms. Then, I use the other lady nearby and run my hands up and down her body, to heal any wounds. When I look back, the lady at the booth has a frown. Uh oh.. maybe I didn't pass the test?

I try to explain. "I'm a healer. I'm a healer. It works better in the sunlight!"

"I know. You passed the test, but I need you to sign here. We may need to get you a new shirt..."

I sign on a napkin "Light Girl" and underneath that, my real name. It looks just like my signature in real life.

Link to DJ.

Spoiler for Task 4 - Training with Teammates - Fail:

I stop my flight at the outside of a building. People are crowded outside on a wooden deck. I transform, my outfit this time is a vest like shirt and shorts. Using expectation again, I say, "Great, the training facility. Who here is a super hero who wants to train with me?" A woman with a microphone starts announcing my request, asking if anyone is a super hero. A smallish woman with short dark hair comes forward. I try to explain the rules. "We need to subdue each other, but no killing."

Then the match starts. The girl immediately goes invisible. What? I look around, and attempt to spray light to where she was last, but it has no effect (or none I can tell). Damn. Then I shout with fist raised "InvisiLight!" hoping this will give me vision to see her. It does nothing. Damn! At this point I'm actually getting a little scared as I think she will attack soon. In a last ditch effort I peel my eyes open, trying to get them to see her, but this opens my eyes in waking life, and the dream ends.

I think next time I'll try infrared vision.

Task 1 - Fail

Had my first attempt at task 1 last night but had it cut short at the worst time!

Spoiler for Task 1 - Fail:

I’m in a grand dinning hall now lucid. I think about attempting a door portal but then I remember my TOTY goal! “Of course!” I waste no time and start hurrying across the room and to the door. I narrate as I do this and say “I need to discover my superhero identity using a comic, which I left out here”. I exit the room into a long corridor and then look to my left and see some objects on the floor. “There it is!” I say pretending and manipulating the dream. I walk up to the bits and see a magazine is among it. I keep telling myself this is my superhero comic and I’m about to find out my identity and name on the cover. I pick it up and though it doesn’t look like a comic and more of a fashion magazine I still keep pretending and as I go to turn it over and view the cover the dream comes to a quick end. I awake in bed… damn it!

Think I maybe got too excited or maybe rushed too fast. Ah, well maybe next time.
