I managed to break my LD drought in spectacular fashion last night and complete the basic task.

Previously, I have had to rely on DILDs as I have not been able to induce a lucid myself... I tried the DEILD method last night and had 7 LDs back to back. Unfortunately they were all quite short (30s - 2 mins each). On my 7th, I remembered this month’s tasks. I approached the first group of DC I come across walking down the street and asked them if anyone was a member of Dream Views. To my surprise a girl stepped forward and said she was Crystal74 she looked early 20s about 5"6 light brown/blonde hair. I asked her a few questions but she seemed a little clueless (I guess this just represented my subconscious mind )

I then summoned a Portal in my peripheral vision on the wall but as I ran towards it the dream slipped away.
