I "achieved" the first tast the other night. Basically, after I became lucid, I found myself in my garden and my dad was there. This task wasn't actually at the top of my list to do, I wanted to do something else first...but I didn't even think about that task at all.
I walked up to my dad and said "tell me something about myself that I don't know". He didn't hear me properly and thought I said something else and he said something stupid that I can't remember. So I said "NOOOO!! Tell me something about myself that I don't know!" Then he just looked at me and said "I don't know". That annoyed me but I just decided to give up with him. Then I saw my mum and I asked her the same question, but as I was doing so I felt the dream fading so I spun and ended up in a FA. I carried on the lucid dream but must've forgotten the tast after that.
So there you have it, sorry it's not more interesting!
I finally had the chance to try out the TOTM. I was able to complete the basic, and gave the advanced a really good try.
Lucid Nap Dream:
I was able today to take a nice long nap. I am mostly better, but am just mostly a little more tired than usual.
I remember going over to the Lewis's house. I was there with my mom. We were in a family room. The couch was open to a couch bed. Mom was laying on the bed and I was sitting next to her. I don't know where the Lewis's were or why we were in their house.
Mom was telling me about a doctor's appointment. I can't remember all she said. It seems confusing in retrospect. She was also mentioning my sister and aunt. Something about my sisiter still having problems with her hand going numb (which I seemed to know all about in the dream, but is not a real life problem). Then about my Aunt having to travel hours to visit the doctor and how she shouldn't be trying to make the trip all in one day.
Then my sister was on the couch where my mom had been. I didn't find that odd. But I then tried to get on the couch bed too, and I was bounced off the couch against the wall and ended up falling down to the floor.
I was very startled. I asked my mom or sister if they had seen what had happened to me. I don't remember what they answered because I was suddenly very fascinated with this huge clock the Lewis's had on their wall. It was huge (about 4 feet across) and brass and had all these separate circular dials that all went in different directions. I tried to figure out how to actually tell time on it. I wasn't able to figure it out.
I then walked out of the family room out into the living room area. At that moment the Lewises walked into the house. I was embarrassed to be standing right there in their room. I tried to explain to them that I had been visiting their relative that lived in the back room. But I couldn't remember their name or how they were related. I felt very flustered that I couldn't remember anything.
Then I started to feel the need to question my state. I almost didn't because I was so sure that this was not a dream. But then I gave a jump and stayed floating in the air. I was quite relieved. It all made sense now why I was so confused.
I tried to rush out of their house. But behind each door that I thought was the front door there was another room. But finally after several tries I made it outside.
I started flying up into the air. I noticed the wind and how real it felt. I even made myself fly into a tree to make sure I felt the tree and not just go through it like a ghost. As the leaves and branches scraped against me I grabbed a few leaves and flew back up into the air again.
I noticed that I was now flying over my elementary school playground. I remembered that I needed to ask someone the TOTM question. I looked down and saw three ladies standing next to some play equipment. I landed next to them. They were either Asian or hispanic and looked in their 40s or 50s. They were all tall and thin and had long black hair and had white aprons on.
I said to the closest one, "Tell me something about myself that I don't know."
She said, "You like smoking." I knew that wasn't true becasue I have never smoked in my life and planned to never start. I noticed now that this lady had a cigarette in her hand. The cigarette gave off a whispy black smoke.
I looked at the next lady, and asked her the same question. She looked at me and said, "Everybody loves you." I thought that answer was much better. She then went on to tell me about something called "dung ants' and how the different kinds of dung ants like to fight each other.
I then remembered the next TOTM the levitating a Groundhog task. But somehow in my dream I started thinking it was a prairie dog that I needed to find.
I asked the ladies to find me a prairie dog so I cold to the next task. They started to go, but I could tell they were moving way too slow, and that although it was a good idea to ask someone to bring me a prairie dog, it would be quicker to find one myself.
I walked across the playground. It was now filled with cars and looked like the Safeway parking lot. I saw a girl standing by the carts. I decided to practice on her. But before I did, I decided to get a witness.
I found another girl, who happened to look just like the girl I was about to levitate. I told her, "You have to see this." I then pointed my finger at the other girl and concentrated on picking her up. My finger went too high too fast. The girl started levitating, then in a flash disappeared up into the sky.
I wondered if I should try to get her down. But I decided that since this was a dream it didn't matter, and what did matter was to find my prairie dog.
I flew out of the playground/parking lot and over to a store. It had some outdoor displays. One of the displays was a table full of stuffed animals. There were raccoons and rabbits. I decided to practice again. I pointed my finger at them one at a time and succeeded in sending them one after the other into the air. I was getting to feel very proud of myself to being able to do this without any problem. I just needed to find my prairie dog.
I looked over to another table. One this table were some live animlas. At first I thought they were prairie dogs, but then I notied the stripe and realised that they were large chipmonks. But even though they were big, I could see that they were just babies.
I did the same thing. I levitated each onein the air. But with these I carefully set them back down when I was done.
I then decided that my best bet now in finding a prairie dog was to fly out of town. I remembered seeing some areas in real life that were covered with prairie dog towns. I needed to go out in the desert and find one on those prairie dog towns.
I started flying again. I could see the edge of town ahead and could see the desert landscape beyond. But as I looked down I saw an empty lot that had little hills and holes on it. I flew down lower. I might be able to find my prairie dog here. I saw a movement. I looked down and saw a larger rodent (this was the thing in my dream that most resembled a real life ground hog). I focused on it. But before I could levitiate it, it scurried into its burrow.
And at that moment I woke up.
So I obviously didn't quite get this second task done. But I feel that I did a great job in levitating things even though they were neither ground hogs or prairie dogs.:roll:
Oh, and here is a prairie dog-- that I was looking so hard for.

Will you guys to a ninja task on march? Pwetty Pwees Wif Swugar on Top :D
So I was being chased by friend, when all the sudden he yells out, "This is a dream," awesome, right! So I begin exploring telling DCs they were dreaming, one dude was like "so wait you can do anything in a dream? "Even Her?"
lol.
So I remembered the Lucid tasks, looked down on a hill of grass and saw a few holes. I stared at one and commanded the groundhog to rise (telapathiclly), but it didnt rise out of the ground, but prehaps through its series of burrows. Discouraged I took to flight, where after a second I fell on my face and elbows into mud.
A few nights ago I became lucid and wanted to do the advanced task. I thought, "I am going to levitate a groundhog." Then, I thought that was wrong!! I thought the lucid task had to do with turkeys. Aaag! So, I didn't get it done. Grr...
Sorry, voting for the next task is already underway and there is no ninja task. I can't tell you what's winning right now, but you could definately use a ninja to accomplish the basic one. :PQuote:

I'm walking home from school and I just remember I'm dreaming - "Oh, I almost forgot. Let's do the challenge thing." I call for a groundhog: "Murmeli! Murmelii!" and instantly one comes walking across the street on two feet. It's quite tall, maybe a bit over 0,5 m (that'd be one and a half feet). I walk closer and prepare for telekinesis but it comes and bites be or something. I wake up.
I close my eyes and get soon back to the dream. I continue walking along the road and see a car driving this way. I jump in it's way and the driver stops. I ask her if she could quickly tell me something I don't know about myself.I "I don't know even who you are", she says and I let her go. My mom comes with her car next and I ask the same question. She's busy and she says she doesn't do that kind of stuff. I tell that this is a task from a forum and I really need the answer. "Is this one of those things that you do something and then get a free weapon in the internet?", she asks. I'm starting to get a bit angry: "No, I get a badge!" The dream skips a bit and now we're at my grandma's house. I continue asking but I still get no proper response.
I'm happy either this is a succeeded task or not. This was my second night after I registered on the forums. :P

Too bad that groundhog scurried down into its burrow, as it really had nothing to worry about because of the way you carefully set all of the animals back down after you levitated them.
Congratulations on such an awesome dream!:goodjob2:
Yes, it counts.. I'll PM admin to get you your wings! ;)Quote:

But anyways this one goes it occurred inside my bedroom. Initially I thought I woke, however seeing that I could move things around and flip switches with only my mind, I quickly knew it was a dream.
So I approached this computer in my room and it had that paperclip thing from Microsoft Word and some yellow creature.
First question the paperclip asked him: "Should I be here lucid dreaming instead of doing my work?" And he replies, "Your pen doesn't have a mind!"
Then I asked for the definition for fallacious and the other guy (not the paperclip) gave me the definition which was basically right "falling to error".
Then I told him to tell me something that I didn't know about myself and the computer screen floods with information that I can't read except for something about a brain and a fox.
Then I realized I was naked...
*annoyed*
I finally managed to break my lucid dry spell, but I knew that it was almost time for my alarm to go off, so I decided to quickly get the basic task done. The first person I found was my little brother, and I said to him, "Tell me something about myself that I don't know."
Little brother: "Umm... huh?"
Me: "Tell me something about myself that I don't know."
Little Brother: "mm... uh... ... hmm... ... .. .. ... ... .. .... ... ... .uh... hmm... ..... mmm... ..... ... what?"
Me: *hits him with a guitar* "You're useless."
The dream was over soon after that. ;_;

I finished the basic one! Haha, that was fun. :P
I was already lucid, and the dream had been going on for a while. I was in this cafeteria area when I suddenly remembered the task I had worked so hard on remembering yesterday. I knew that I would wake soon, so I hurried to find a random DC. I found a man sitting in a lounge area, and I sat down in a lounge chair at the other side of his table.
"Hi... Can you tell me something about myself that I don't know already?"
He looked at me. "You know how females produce free milk, right?" "Er, yes..." "Then you can afford to raise your children." (I assume he meant future children, as I don't have any children, and I didn't in the dream either). Then he laughed and said: "Sorry, that was mean." I tried to reply, but the dream faded and I woke up. The answer really surprised me. :shock: But I don't think it really answered my question correctly. :P
I had tried this task twice before. The first time I didn't even dream. The second, there was nothing substantial in my lucid, it was just colors and thoughts zooming by so I decided that I had too little control and woke up.
Finally Success:
I knew I was dreaming. I was at my parents' house and my old dog was there. The one that's been dead for 7 years or so. I was delighted to see him and not at all sad because I got to say goodbye to him years ago in another lucid. He put his head in my lap while I pet him and I was surprised by how big his head was and was amazed that my sleeping mind remembered details that I thought I'd forgotten.
I remembered the tasks and went into the backyard to see if I could summon a groundhog. My mom was watering out there and it was night. Everything looked so realistic. I thought that if I was gonna have any chance at imagining a groundhog it would have to be day because the youtube videos I watched were of groundhogs on sunny summer days. I looked up at the sky and tried to turn it to day for about a sec, then gave up. I looked at the ground and tried to conjure a groundhog. But I concluded that this dream was far too realistic and as a result I was unlikely to be able to impact it with my imagination. I decided to enjoy my time with my dog.
I woke up. Or did I? I'm so confused now.
I decided to try for the task again and went back to sleep and was dreaming in the same place. Only this time, my parents' backyard was a sunny farm. I went outside and there were horses. I walked a little ways, then conjured a groundhog. I was delighted to have succeeded and decided to try to levitate him. It was so easy, he went up with his belly toward me flailing his legs. I looked at him in the air and now he had tusks. I decided that he looked like a boar and distinctly cartoonish, and for a sec I was afraid that I hadn't succeeded because it wasn't a groundhog, but I decided that it had been a groundhog before it got to about 6 feet up.
There was an animal nearby that could have been another groundhog. I addressed it: "Tell me something about myself that I don't know."
"What?!" It asked.
"Tell me something about myself that I don't know."
It didn't answer, just looked at me like I was crazy.
"Tell me something about myself that I don't know."
"Tell you something about yourself that you don't know," It said, "That doesn't make any sense . . ."
I was satisfied with this answer. Of course the question doesn't make any sense. Dream characters only know things that I already know; I'm essentially talking to myself.
I woke to go post here. I was at my parents' house. I went over to the dining room table and read the date on the paper. It was March 1st! I was too late! I decide to post anyway and went upstairs to the computer. I tried to navigate to these forums but ended up with a World of Warcraft-like window where all the characters were doing a new dance in rows. I was confused: Was this the dream forums? Did my dad leave World of Warcraft open? But if my dad did leave World of Warcraft open, why was my character online dancing? My mom had followed me upstairs and was asking me what it was. She has no clue about video games or the internet and thought this might be normal. I noticed that I was forgetting bits of what had happened before, far too rapidly for me to be conscious . . . I realized that I hadn't woken at all and finally woke for real.
I was so confused when I woke up. I've never had a false waking and took more than a sec to realize that I was still dreaming. Guess I was just too exited to go post.
Wow Im having the worst dryspell :( well I guess its cause Im too lazy but I will try tonight. Also my bday is on monday so I hope I can end this dryspell by then :).
Here's wishing you "lucid" luck! :DQuote:

*Runs to the hug thread in lounge*
Was it just me or were there less people that did the tasks this month? The Task Club seemed empty.
I feel your pain ninja! I didn't have the chance to even attempt either task this month. I feel like such a .. a .. failure! :morecrying:Quote:

Unless you're "in the club," you have to wait until tomorrow.Quote:
