Hmm, it seems everyone is interpretting the grave task as a walking undead scenario rather than a 'Speak to a deceased loved one' task, which (sorry if i'm wrong here!) is what Seeker seems to have originally intended! I think it's the cemetary bit that throws us off :P I'm gonna try this again, and bring my grandpa back to have a chat ^_^
From my dream journal:
"and then I remembered the lucid tasks! I decided to not waste time by first stopping traffic right outside of a cemetery by standing in the middle of the road, imagining that the cars where made of a cardboard material. The results were pleasing. I smashed the front of one car, which sent it about 15 feet over my head into a burning heap in the middle of the road. I grabbed this Hummer by the bumper and tossed it into a school bus, which immediately caught fire and exploded. Another car came crashing into me, which sent the driver (who wasn't buckled in) through the windshield and skidding on the ground. After about six or seven cars, a police car came up and these cops started shooting me, which made me slightly angry. So I shot a fireball at one of them, and grabbed two of them by the throat with Telekinesis. I smashed their heads together and tossed them to the side, which left only one cop still standing. He had just emptied his clip, and now knowing that I must be some sort of god, the look on his face was priceless. He jumped into the driver's seat and tried to started the car. He floored the thing and sped off, but not fast enough. After about getting 15 feet, I leapt from where I was standing and landed on the hood of the car. I slammed my fingers into the roof and gripped hard. Now that I practically had the car in my hand, I started to fly into the air. The cop was screaming as we rose higher and higher, and once we got above the clouds, I chunked the car as hard as I could towards the ground. The sound of a satisfying explosion reached my ears before I flew back to the cemetery. The first graves I saw looked the newest, and on them was engraved the names of the police officers that I had just killed two minutes back. I decided to experiment. Raising my hands above my head, I closed my eyes and imagined the corpses of the men tearing through the ground. I heard the dirt being seperated over here and a hand penetrating the earth over there. I opened my eyes and the police officers where already halfway out of their graves. I smiled and was about to fly off, but all of the sudden one of the risen men charged directely into my ribs. I fell to the ground and was back on my feet in an instant. I "knew" I had a flaming katana on my back and did some dead-cop-ass-kicking. After I had decapitated the last undead, I decided to summon Jessica Alba and give my body what it's been wanting."
Yeah that was pretty successful in my opinion. I had fun too, nice tasks seeker!
Hey great tasks! I'm going to try to do them, but probably in the future when I can have more LDs, but this makes me more interested in LDing again. You should also have a noob task just for people like me, that havent really got good at doing crazy things like raising the dead or.. well the cars shouldnt be too hard but I wouldnt really know. I'm still going to try anyway. :mrgreen:
My brain is so lazy! I tried to conjure up a city around me with skyscrapers and stuff, a busy city with traffic to stop (rather than being normal lol) and I ended up making my surroundings full of human height skyscrapers...made from childrens building blocks...and half of them where half built....damn you brain...there weren't even any roads >_<
Now that was pretty freaky stuff! See, that's why I assign these tasks, there is always something strange that creeps in.
Like in one of the earliest tasks - "Catch a duck" where I caught a duck, but it had feet kind of like a gecko.
completed the first task.
became lucid...walked into the middle of a street (there were 4 lanes in each direction, with a median separating the two sides). oddly enough, the realism was way off, and the cars appeared rather "cartoonish", and were roughly the size of those cars midget clowns get out of, or even smaller.
i lifted some of them with ease and blocked off the road, although the last car kept rolling away until it finally stayed put.
-------
(an almost on the advanced)
then i started flying lotus position through the sky over a city, at night, and remembered the second task. the only thing vaguely similar to a cemetery was a huge skyscraper with a cross on it (a church).
i landed there eventually, but lost lucidity soon after.
I had a very long lucid dream a few nights ago, and decided to try the lucid task with the cars. I stepped into the middle of the road and blew really hard at the cars. Each one I aimed at went flying off the road! Lol, I wonder why that's what came to me in the moment.
Man, we don't got our task badges anymore >.< ;_;
I did it! Again! I feel so proud of myself sometimes. ;)
I was on the pavement behind my school in a back road. I didn't know what to do in the dream, but for the hell of it (I didn't remember that this was a lucid task, but I WAS lucid) I decided to annoy some drivers. I called out for a car to stop, but it didn't. Then I threw myself across the road in front of a van and screamed, "I'll give you a handjob if you stop!" Lol, it ended at that point, but the driver DID stop and a certain passenger looked at me expectantly.
Excuse me if that's not appropriate. ;)
Do I still qualify?
Please be patient, I'm on it and will get the badges back soon....I hope :)Quote:

Right i had a FA but relised that i was in my old bedroom and knew that insantly that my house in a dream is a big no no (theres always an invisable monster there). So i ran out side because i really wasn't in the mood for fighting that thing so i ran and strangle enogh i was swimming in the air to get away from the monster because running was a lot slower.
The monster kept making the scene change back to my house so i crossed the road and then he followed me with a lion sized husky dog. Then someone appeared on a bike and was trying to kill the lion sized husky dog, as he did, the monster went on to the road and said "ah with out my dog he will kill me because of his immanse power" (he was referring to me which makes me wonder about the story i put on my monster) and as soon as the dog was killed the monster turned in to a stick in the middle of the road. There was lots of cars on the road and all i did was cross into the middle and while doing so i sticked my hand out in the direction of the cars and all the cars stopped and then i snapped the stick. I really thinking more of the stick then the cars and after i snapped the stick i went back on to the pavement and said okay you can move along now if you want and the cars moved and that was the dream over
So i kind of accidently stopped traffic so does that still count.
Well I managed this chalenge pretty quickly, thanks to a handy bit of good fortune in my dreams.
The earliest part of the dream recall is that I was on a boat, floating downriver. It was a large yacht type thing, with leather chairs and oak panneling (a hell of a posh boat basically). There was quite a long period in the rooms of this boat but most of that is hazy fragmented memories, so I'll skip to the coherent (and lucid) part.
I walked up wooden stairs out onto the deck, and I could see, next to the river the boat was floating down a very busy road running directly parrallel to the shore. This made me remember the challenge, which, in turn made me reality check (using my watch) I'd planned already on how I was going to stop the traffic while I was reading the challenge, so I flew across the river and landed next to the road. Then, while slowly lifting my hand I slowed down time, everything slowing and slowing until my arm reached as high as possible, at which point everything stopped. I looked around at all the frozen cars (couldn't see the drivers through the windows though, my imagination apparently couldn't be bothered). I let my hand fall, and all the cars just continued driving.
Unfortunatley while dreamspinning to a cemetary I woke up, so I couldn't manage the second task :(
Seeker told me to post here to show off how the Lucid Task and Advanced lucid task groups will look next month.
I did it! Yay! I stood out in the middle of the road with my baseball bat and did some slappage on cars as they approached.
Final score:
Bob: 15
Cars: 0
Dang, does this mean I have to do it again? :( *Gazes at Bob's badge enviously*
Dang.
Only a couple more days in this month. I'm not going to move everyone into the new group just to have to remove them again :DQuote:

I'm, also playing around with creating a special forum that is only accessable to those that complete the task each month. Of course, everyone would be removed at the beginning of the month and need to earn entry again....
Oh, WTF, I added a couple of you anyway this month
last ngiht (thursday july 27- friday july 28) i dreamed i was throwing the football around with the quarterback of my highschool football team in the basement of my grandmas house. i dropped a pass and cursing myself walked into the corner of the room to pick it up. there i saw my cousin curled up in a little ball. i thought why is he curled up in a ball? then suddenly i was lucid. i walked back over to the quarter back now lucid thinking of what i would do next then suddenly i remembered this forum and my task. so i ran out of the house onto the street. this was the street leading to my grandmas house, which, in reality and in the dreamworld, barely ever has any cars. so i thought i would fly to the nearest huge highway... better spectacle i thought. i looked to my left and saw a four lane highway (that isnt there in reality) about a mile down the road. I started jumping there... not flying... jumping is faster and more fun. i would take huge fifty foot hops one after another jumping there. suddenly i was on the edge of the highway. as i stood there, traffic rushing by, a sliver of doubt in my control entered my mind, but i dismissed it, reminding myself that the more i doubted myself, the less i would be able to control the dream. so i stepped out onto the highway. i saw a semi rushing towards me at about 80 miles per hour. i thrust my hands out in a sort of force push fashion and the truck crumpled into a ball of metal and stopped. this wasnt the end though cars were still rushing at me from all directions. instead of just crushing them now though i would thrust out my hands, crumple them, then pick them up with a sort of force/telekenesis deal. please do not doubt me when i tell u this was incredibly sweet. after i picked them up, i would just fling them. just freakin toss them off into the distance. after doing this to about six or seven cars, the whole line of traffic just stopped just like a 20 foot parameter around me where ther was nothing. suddenly a crowd of onlookers rushed around me (no idea where the crowd of onlookers would have come from) and started being like that was amazing! howd u do that. when one little ginger (redheaded) kid asked me, i said "here ill show you" and i picked him up with my mind, and tossed him off into the distance. no idea why i did it. i guess redheads just piss me off in my dreams. anyway... the scene started to change into a new dream after that... i lost lucidity but i still remember that dream too. So i guess this means i completed the task?
I;ll be glad when this month is over. I wrote notes that say "stop traffic" and "raise the dead" and put them in the bathroom. All month people have been dying in front of me (including myself getting shot) and I haven't saved any of them.
Now I go back and see the dead are supposed to come from a cemetery. I wish my brain had focused on the traffic thing instead.
Oh well, looking forward to next month's task. (Still a couple of days left though; maybe I;ll make it...)
