Thread: Task Of The Seasons- Summer Of 2023!! :)

Advanced i - Find notes/recordings of dreams you have forgotten - Fail

I tried looking for a library of old dreams in a building. Instead, I think one dream character may have tried to tell me an old dream in the form of a rhyme, but I didn't get it.

Spoiler for Advanced i - Find notes/recordings of dreams you have forgotten - Fail:

Everything is black, but I can see my ghostly hands in front of me, like paler outlines in the darkness. I realize I should have had a plan before I started just shooting up, so I quickly try to compose myself. I decide I want to try finding a castle, like in the underwater dream a few days ago. I see a pale ring starting to appear. When I pass my hands behind it, the color reverses (my hands are dark against the ring, and light against the dark background). I realize this is my opportunity - I grab it with both hands, pulling it open as far as I can to go through it. I then see a faint outline of five interlocking circles with a white point in the center - I take a moment to count them to remember it. I dive down, straight for the white dot. I land sitting in shallow green-gray water, and the white dot looks like a pile of small white shells or beads. I decide it will be a snake. It is about four feet long, and swims around me. I look up, and I seem to be in an underground cave with a high ceiling and gentle watery light. There is a tall figure on either side of me. They wear hand-dyed pale blue robes with a design embroidered down the front center in metallic thread. The robes have the effect of hanging from their heads, like they are puppets (kind of like Enoch from Over the Garden Wall). The one I look at first has the face of an old woman, but it seems to be soft-sculpted from indigo fabric, with exaggerated witch-like figures highlighted in white thread. I find her a bit frightening, so I look back down. I can faintly the see the outline of the shape I dove into on the surface of the water, elaborating itself almost fractally into a labyrinth. I think I should follow this path to find my dream-archive. I start concentrating on making the walls higher so I can enter. But before I can, the second figure says, "Wait, Harlequin." This one has a younger and more human-looking face, with long glossy black hair. She starts telling me a rhyme, about black turning to red and blue, and a woman with long blonde hair and long black claws, and a silver flask at her waist (she winks when she says this detail). She finishes with, "for you only - don't tweet this," which I interpret as I'm not supposed to share the rhyme, even though I don't use Twitter. But I was so caught off-guard I wasn't fully paying attention, I want to hear the rhyme again and try to remember it for myself - it might be the old dream I was looking for. I ask her to repeat it, she looks partly puzzled, partly amused. She begins to speak again, but I wake up.

This seems like a really fun task, so I will be trying again next time I can!

Apologies... the spoiler tags do not seem to work.

Went ahead an fixed it for you!!

Whoops, seems I remembered the second basic task as "ask a dream CHARACTER what will happen tomorrow in real life." I also left out the "real life" part, though that's what I meant... your call if it counts!

Basic Task ii - Ask your dream what would happen tomorrow in real life - Maybe Fail

Spoiler for details:

1. "Hey!" I yelled to the baby. "What do you think will happen tomorrow?"
He glanced at me and started lifting his arms out of the harness straps. I assumed he wanted to get closer to the window...

2. "What should I do tomorrow?" I asked. (Phrased it that way because I thought he might not respond to "what will happen tomorrow?")
He glared at me, and the vividness of his voice increased tenfold as he spat, "I think you should die."

3. I sat next to her. "Mafuyu, what will happen tomorrow?"
She probably assumed I was asking her out and responded, "Saturday is sad day." (Both she and I were under the impression that tomorrow was Saturday.)
"I see. Sad day, huh." I sat by her a little while longer before standing up.

4. I hurriedly moved on to Mizuki's sparkly pink door, but for some reason, I knocked this time. I called her name, excited to hear her response, as she and Mafuyu are my favorite characters.
After a pause, a very accurate voice responded, "Yeah?"
I asked the question, but before she could answer the dream faded...

Completed the Advanced i:

Spoiler for Advanced i (Completed:

I went around my room looking through my DJ looking for a forgotten dream. I read:
{There was one when I was in High School, I recall I was laying in bed and my whole body felt numb. I tried to move but, I really had a hard time getting up. It was like I was drugged. I record in the DJ that it was let in the night and there was a bad storm. I remember that the storm was so bad that the radio turned on and started to play without my turning it on. }

I did two of the tasks of the season this morning!

For the first, I think I just got lucky. I was already having a (nonlucid) dream that I was understanding as reliving an old dream. Then I got fully aware and found more details of the dream written down in an imaginary dream journal. I tried to summon some of these details, to varying success.

Spoiler for Advanced i - Find notes/recordings of dreams you have forgotten - Success:

I find a hardcover black notebook*** that represents my dream journal, and know it's where I've been "reading" this old dream from the whole time. I decide to flip through it to find some more information, for the task of the season. What I see feels vaguely familiar.

First, I see a note from last time I was here - "I regret Calculus, I go back in and practice a lot."

I flip through more and I see some drawings of dream characters. One is of a young boy with a deformed eye/skin on one side of his face. In the dream, he was looking for a woman named Mary. I float over the water into a lit side room, and try to summon the boy. But it doesn't feel right, I think he looks like a guy from a bad nu-metal band, so I decide to try to the Mary woman he was looking for again.

I look back at the book. Mary is dressed kind of like a nun, standing in a crowd of people in a city street. I concentrate on this scene, and find myself on a cobblestone street under an archway (maybe a bridge between two buildings). I know this is the place where she was in the old dream, but she's not here now. I continue along the street into a living room with couches. She's sitting in the middle of the floor, this time dressed in back like a chic widow from the 1980s, with a black pillbox hat and mesh veil over her eye. I say something like, "Mary! I found you. What can you tell me." She looks up at me through her veil and laughs a bit, "What can I tell you?" and the dream fades.

The second I did spontaneously and only realized when I came in this thread that it was one of the tasks. I was looking forward to some plans this afternoon and asked a dream character if it would go well.

Spoiler for Basic ii - Ask your dream what would happen tomorrow (actually today) in real life - Success:

I manage to crawl away to a little hall and into a study, following a man named Bill (I think he's a version of a local news anchor, but he's dressed kind of the like the stereotypical leisurely professor, cardigan and all). I ask him, "What's it going to be like today." He responds, "I tell ya, it's gonna be something. In fact, it IS something now." I understand he's referring to the fact that it's pouring rain, and that Bill is a weather-man.

"Wait Bill, what time is it?" We're out in the hall and he points to a digital microwave clock across the kitchen. "It's 3:30." "Oh shoot!" I say, "I have plans at 3:00 today" (true from waking life, I had plans to walk in the park at 3:00 today). Bill looks a bit confused so I elaborate, "Not here. When I'm awake." I'm a bit dismayed that Bill seems to say I'll miss my plans, but I remind myself that it's not actually 3:30 yet, that would be impossible.

Now that I'm writing this in the evening, the weather cooperated for my plans, but it did start pouring monumentally as soon as I left. I would say my dream character was right, but he had a high chance of being right anyway, it is the summertime after all

Congrats!!

Welp, I'm just going to assume the last one was a fail based on the lack of response. And now, I have another fail to display

Advanced Task i - Find notes/recordings of dreams you have forgotten - Fail

Spoiler for detail:

I remembered the TotS task to find your own forgotten DJ entries and wanted to try it. As I unfolded the wormhole (it was like a collapsible tunnel) I imagined it leading to my WL dream journal. Unfortunately, while flying through I fell into the void and completely lost lucidity.

Actually, after reading Harlequin's DJ entry, I change my mind about the first one being a fail Seems asking a dream character does count.

Some tasks of the season from last night!:

I failed because my alarm went off just after I decided regaining lucidity to do the task. Ugh!!

Failed the task but, regained awareness. Instead of going back in time to prevent my birth, I ended up in high school. Here: https://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/lang/8-14-2023-96150/
