Congratulations everyone! And really nice dream Pj! :)
I love the Valentine's Task badge! I'm gonna try really really hard now, I'm on a one-week long school break so this is my chance! I haven't had a lucid since the 19th though. Oh well, good luck to everyone who's trying to complete this month's tasks! :bigteeth:
Thanks to Aphius, he is our badge designer. Sometimes, I don't know how he comes up with badges for some of the stranger tasks....
I can't wait until I become Lucid again!
Is it possible to have a crush on a Dream Character?
Because one asked me to dance so I said "Ok" and his body felt warm :content:
Hee!
Tonight I will do it! Yes... I will concentrate hard!
all I need now is to go to a bookstore and buy EWOLD or something like that.

Do a reality check or roll my lucid "body" off the couch.
Hope this helps!
I did it! I did BOTH tasks last night, I think! (Mind you, I kinda messed up the regular task, but oh well!) Lucid parts are in purple.
So I was at the breakfast table in my old house (I moved 2 or 3 years ago), and I saw my mom and dad making breakfast. I realised I was at my old house, and that my parents never make breakfast together, so I did a nose reality check and became Lucid. I told my parents that they were dreaming, but they ignored me and kept cooking. Mad, I walked into the computer room and talked to LM on MSN. I asked her (don't ask me why!) to be my valentine, and she replied, "What the..."
Then I signed off and remembered the advanced task. I walked outside and saw my mom there, so I asked my mom to be my valentine! She didn't say anything (how rude), so I concentrated hard and summoned 5 small tornados that were blowing on the street. Slightly annoyed, I used my hands and "merged" them into a bigger tornado. Much to my mom's horror, I walked towards the tornado and poked it. Before I knew what was happened, I was sucked into it and was spinning around wildy (it was fun!) Once I was "spat out", I lost lucidity.
I can't remember what happened after that. But I did the tasks. I couldn't find any men to ask to be my Valentine (I'm really bad at conjuring things), so I asked my mom and best friend. LOL!
EDIT: I am getting better at this :)
For the last 6 days I've been having a lucid every second day. I hope I can keep this up, lol! Anyways, I had one this morning and tried the lucid task, here it is:
I found myself walking into my kitchen (note my house was muddled up), coming home from somewhere, I sat down and said Hello to my mum. She said to me 'aren't you going to do another one of those RC's?' (she sees me do them a lot in real life), and I said 'yeah was just about too' I did it and I was lucid! My mum saw I could breath through my nose and said, 'wow you’re dreaming!'. The rest of the dream I can remember myself doing alot of RC's before everything I did, to make sure I was still dreaming, and rubbed my hands together once or twice as a precaution, I didn’t want to lose this dream! I was very excited, I sat still and thought about what I was going to do, saw a fruit pavlova and ate some, it tasted just as real, but i didn’t feel hungry at all. I examined everything, everything looked so real, I must of had fairly good vividness because everything looked as real as life. I remembered the lucid task, and couldn't find anyone to ask, I saw blazie and thought, haha i'll just ask him, he normally says weird/stupid stuff to me, i'll return the favor and turned to Blaize and asked him to be my valentines, he replied 'as long as you catch the bus' (doesn’t make sense to me either). I walked out to the living room and looked around, I sat down in a chair and spun around in it, I heard it increases vividness and just spun anyways. I stopped and didn't notice any difference. I went to walk outside, but just before I did, I tried to imagine a big tornado outside, I opened the door instead to find a big storm with gusting winds and lots of lightning. I tried to conjure up a tornado but it didn’t seem to make an impact whatsoever. I walked to my driveway and tried to fly, I just jumped into the air and fell, I couldn’t feel any pain when I hit the ground which I thought was cool. I saw a group of Lebanese/Italian looking kids and walked over to them. I though I might ask them to be my valentine anyways to see their reaction. I asked them and they told me to piss off. I asked again explaining I needed to know for a dream forum. They approached me like a gang in the movies, I can’t remember exactly what they said, but one of them said something in my ear which had a lot of meaning to me in that dream. It felt like an intense déjà vu. Then I hopped into my Dad’s car and started trying to make it levitate. It worked and I starting floating up into the air, I jumped out with my eyes closed and flapped my arms like a bird, I levitated but I didn’t move anywhere, as soon as I opened my eyes, I fell to the ground along with the car. I walked inside again, and thought it would be cool trying to smash a window, because I’d never done that before. I saw my mum and made sure she didn’t mind, she said it was fine because this was a dream anyway. I did one last RC to make sure then walked over to the kitchen. TR was there and I felt uncomfortable, so I walked to the front door where my dad was. I saw a candle, picked it up, it had a solid metal case around it, the wick fell onto the bench and started burning, instinctively I went to put it out, but then thought how cool it would be to have a massive fire in the house, so left it. I ran behind the bench, then my dad put the fire out, I pegged the candle at the window and it completely shattered it, I started laughing because it scared the **** out of my dad and her friend who were talking, my dad got real mad, and I woke up.
I did it :) ! I read about the task last night and i decided i would try it. I woke up this morning without lucid dreaming got out of bed, and heard it was a snow day! I hopped back into bed, and was lucid in no time. I did a lot of stuff before the valentine, but since it probably wouldnt interest you ill leave that out. I went to my job, a grocery store, and was walking around. I played hacky sack with a friend, but i sucked so i rubbed my hands togethor and slowed down time. All the voices were all slow mo too. It was the first time i had done that and it was friggen cool :) ! So i was walking through the store with my friend and i saw this very attractive DC. I remembered the task and decided i would ask her to be my valentine, then go outside and try and make a tornado. So i went up and ask her very casually and she shut me down. :( . I decided to turn back time and try agian. I rubbed my hands togethor and watched as time went backwards to before i asked her. That was pretty sweet, though ive done it before. I asked agian and she said yes. Hooray! First task ever done on first night ive been aware of it :bigteeth:
Unfortunatly i woke up before i could attempt the tornado, but im pretty sure im too much of a noob to do it. But i will keep trying anyway.
Thanks, Clairity!!!
Valentine Lucid Task Complete
I was in a laboratory dropping off some papers for a study an old University Professor was running when I woke from my dream to find myself laying in bed. Concentrating, I was able to hold very still and imagine the receptionist's face until I was sucked back into the dream and then lucidity a few seconds later (love this feeling!). So I was trying to stay calm and then remembered the lucid task. I turned to my girlfriend and said, "Will you be my valentine?" She said, "Of course I will." Then I felt mischievous so I sprayed water on the receptionist's face and proceeded to smash up the lab (which had fortuitously turned into an antique store) with a large baseball bat. Very Fun.
Does it count if you've already intentionally done this in the past?
Did the advanced task, Tornado's are freaky.. It's in my DJ, second post.

ok...I'm nwto this site...I've been LDing now for aout 10 years...since I was 7...I'm 17 now...my dd taught me how to do it but anyways
the valentine was pretty easy...I was dreaming and walking down the streets in downtown Oil City...and the way I became lucid was the best part...Isjust walking and then I saw carmen elektra..in OIL CITY...Oil City is not a place to see that woman...it just won't ever happen...so I had a realiycheck and I was in fact dreaming...then I remembered this task stuff so I decie to walkover and talk to her...I walked accross the street and up to her...I said will you be my valentine..she laughed and then her face got angry and she slapped me...that sucked...that was Wednesday...last night I completed the advanced task...I was skating through the mall and realised the security gaurds were actually applauding my tricks...that kikeme into a reality check right quick and in a hurry...I was just like no wa is this real...I'm dreaming...so I jus kept skating for a little while busting out some fs flips...that's like my favorite trick to do in a lucid dream...anyways...then I rememberedte other task...so I skated outside...and summoned up a tornado..this was tricky cause at first it kept falling apart and sendin stuff flying every where...I had to save like 3 people from getting hit by debris...that wasn't too hard...after 10 yar of experience I've gotten pretty good at flying...so i finally get the tondo to work and fw over to it...landed o m board and skated into it...it launched me ino space...which is a great place...if you can...take a trip to space...that is one of my favorite places to be...it's so calm and peaceful...but anwaysso when I hit the base of the tornado I just completely stopped moving for like a spl second and then started swirling...the colors were insane...i as like a trip back to the 60's...it was nuts...red green yellow orange...all swirling...it was just crazybut I was being swirld around...stuff kept hitting me and it was just all around weird...but then I got to the top and it launche men space...but I was just floating there and I lost lucidity for a minute...then it came back and I went to fly back down to earth but I woke up...that's about all i got
I did both tasks (lucid parts in blue)
I was in Paris with my family and we got our lunch from a cart. Then everybody disappeared and somebody told us it was nap time. Then we were trying to get back to our hotel room, but the hotel was so big we got lost. We ended up in a music store and somebody met an old friend and she took us back to our hotel room. When we got inside our hotel room we were making fun of it because it was filled with modern art and stuff.
Then I heard a voice say "Are you sure this isn't a dream" and there were pickle jars on the floor. I did an RC by looking at the numbers on a pickle jar and became lucid. Then I was in a parking lot and I saw a girl I went up to her with flowers and chocolate and asked her if she would be my Valentine and she said yes. Then a tornado came and I jumped into it. I felt like I was being twisted and then chills went through my body. And I woke up
Yay I FINALLY did one! I'm posting this before work to get maximum time with my badge; hopefully it will be here when I get home! (It is a short month; I'm glad I did this before Valentine's Day).
Anyway, a short not too exciting lucid, except for the task. I'm putting my dogs in a truck outside my Dad's house, and I'm having trouble keeping track of them and keeping them from getting in the street. I think to myself, they'll be OK, it's just a dream. For a second I don't even realize what I said, but then it hits me. I start to run off towards a man I saw walking on the sidewalk, but then I see on of me dogs looking out at me, all happy and excited. So I stop to let her out, and we run towards the elderly man I had seen. I say "Will you be my Valentine?" and he looks at me in surprize, and mumbles something like "No, I've already got a cat", and goes into his building. I wasn't offended. Then I ran off down the street, which turned tropical with palm trees, but it was soon over.
Well I wish I could have done the tornado one too, but maybe I still will. There are a lot of double-task doers this month.
LOL.. Congrats Moonbeam!Quote:

So I too am particularly curious.
But it seems like when it is a task, it is an on demand type of scenario. Much different really.
I've completed the first task. I hope.
Early today I was woken up way before my normal time, and so when I went back to sleep I got about three lucids in a row. During the first I became lucid walking down a street and instantly remembered the tasks. I walked up to a random person (female, about my age I think with long, pale brown hair) and asked her 'Will you be my valentine?' She looked pretty freaked out, so I concentrated and tried summoned a better valentine. When I opened my eyes I saw someone dressed all in black, with almost shoulder length black hair. I was pretty pleased with this new person and just about to ask him instead when I was woken up by my friend's brother. :(
(It's of little consequence, but during the next lucid I managed to re-summon the cool-black-haired-dude. And a really nice corset-dress. I guess it all evens out. :content: )

Yay, I did the simple one and attempted to do the hard one!
I find myself standing on the middle of a highway with this guy named Steve. Steve's standing there swinging some ball on a string around. I'm like "Hey, Steve only swings axes around, I must be dreaming!" ( :huh: )
So I go up to Steve.
"Hey. You wanna go out with me? No wait, that's not it, it's.....Do you want to be my valentine?"
"Sure."
So that was the first task. Then like five of my friends came running up so I ran with them, totally ditching Steve. I decide to try the hard task, but for some reason I thought I was supposed to try and spawn a purple tornado, and not get sucked up by it. So I end up spawning a 3 inch purple tornado with the face of my friend Emily on it. :shock: It was actually quite frightening.
I finally got it done. This is copied form my Dream journal. I know it is long, so if you just want to read the part where I completed the Task--just read the red part.
Wow...I just had another Task of the Month</span>. And how appropriate, considering it is Valentine's Day.
I had gotten to sleep in, and I had been awake for a bit, but decided that today would be a good chance to do a WBTB. I wanted to get the Task done, and I thought that since it was Valentine's Day I might have extra inspiration to get the Task completed.
The dream started with me looking over a balcony of an apartment in which I supposedly lived. There were lots of people below in the yard or road or whatever was below the balcony. I remember thinking that something was not quite right with this. And I suddenly realized that I was dreaming.
I looked back down. I had to find someone to ask to be my Valentine. I saw some teenage boys from the neighborhood. At first I was reluctant, but then said to myself, "It doesn't matter--this is my dream--no one will know that I asked them to be my Valentine in a dream."
So I glided down the the ground level. And went up to M and asked him to be my Valentine. He looked at me like he thought I might be playing some sort of trick on him. He squinted his eyes a little and said, "Are you serious?"
Then my dream faded.
But I ended up back in the apartment and was still lucid. This time I recognized it as my friend E's apartment (of course it was not his either in real life). His family was there along with some family friends. They had been making cookies with sprinkles, but were now cleaning up.
<span style="color:#CC0000">I wanted to try the Task again, to see if I could get a better answer.
I asked E's sister. She said, "Sure, why not."
Then I asked a blond girl, "Will you be my Valentine?"
She said, "Yeah, because I owe you." I looked at her somewhat confused.
She said, "The meeting tonight......I'll be getting you your pin and uniform."
At first I felt slightly alarmed, then thought "There is no meeting. This is just my dream. How funny that my brain would come up with that."
Then I asked another girl that was about 15. (There were only girls in the room--no guys.)
She said that she couldn't be my Valentine because she was already a sister.
I asked her why she couldn't be both. And then she went on about not being able to drive herself anywhere and how she was a burden on others because of that. It didn't actually make a lot of sense. But I let her go on.
Then a guy in his late 20's walked in with a little girl about two years old on his shoulders. I walked up to him to ask, but at the last minute I asked the little girl instead. She couldn't talk so I didn't expect an answer. But I just talked to her like you do to a toddler. "Hi...you are just so cute...hey, do you want to be my Valentine? That would be fun, huh? And, see, you are wearing hearts on your dress. You are already all dressed up for Valentine's Day."
At that point I figued I'd asked enough people...an interesting variety...and had gotten an interesting variety of answers.
I thought, "What else can I ask them?" I thought back to the Task in November where we were supposed to ask people of we were dreaming. I decided to do that again.
So I started with the blond girl whose meeting I was supposed to attend that night. I asked her if I was dreaming and she nodded and said yes.
I went down the line and everyone was saying yes. Finally the last girl I got to I asked, "But how do you know I am dreaming?" I really wanted to know what she would say.
She said, " Because this all sounds like it is being recorded in a studio." (I was not expecting that answer). And the funny thing is as she said that sentence, her voice started sounding all echo-y and unnatural.</span>
Then the dream faded again.
BUt I ended up back in the apartmant again. This time it was empty. I looked at the table that still had lots of sprinkles left on it fron the cookies they were making.
I suddenly had an idea inspired by my mom.
In real life my mom and I started eating a raw vegan diet about 6 weeks ago. A few weeks ago she told me about a dream she had where she was eating pork, and then became lucid (her first lucid dream--and it was just from listening to me talk about it). She then thought, "Well, since this is just a dream, I might as well finish eating this pork" Since it was tasting so good.... :D .
<span style="color:#3333FF">So looked around the apartment. I saw some cookie dough and put it in my mouth. It didn't taste as good as I had wished. I remembered that in real life I had been craving peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips.
I opened the fridge. And sure enough, on a plate all made up nice and with plastic wrap over it was a large batch of that kind of cookie. I took one and ate it and was incredibly thankful that my dream taste buds were fully working in this dream.
I started to take another, then paused, momentarily feeling guilty for taking the cookies that E's mom had put away. It was obvious that they were supposed to be a gift for someone.
I then had to remind myself that this was still my dream--that's why I was getting to eat these in the first place. That no one would ever miss these cookies.
So I spent the next five minutes (or so it seemed) just eating one cookie after another. :biggrin:
