Thread: Task for the Month of October 2008

Introduction:
This topic is for the Lucid Tasks that are assigned by me or voted on by experiences dreamers. Please attempt one or both of these tasks throughout the month.

Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task, your efforts should make interesting reading! This is required in order to get credit, it is no longer sufficient just to say that you did it.

Whoever completes either of these tasks gets the following goodies until the end of the month:

• Your name will be displayed in ORANGE in the online members list at the bottom of the main forum page.
  
• You will receive a special title and badge.
  
• You will receive access to the "Lucid Task Club" which is a limited access forum for people that complete the lucid task each month.

Tasks for this month:

Basic Task - Converse with a Jack-o-lantern


Advanced Task - Become your halloween costume

Muahahahahaha! I shall rain destructon upon the halloween world as the great and powerful BlackMage! And an evil talking jack-o'-lantern might be cool, too. (I wonder if talking to the headless horseman with a jack'o-lantern head, or Jack o' the lantern himself, would count? Probably not )

And where is this Lucid Task of the Month club lounge? Or is it only activated once you get both the advanced and basic tasks of the current month?

Oh nooo! I don't know what I'm going to be for halloween yet (if anything). I better start thinking.

aww i wanted to hug a monster.

Yes, that's a jack-o-lantern. And yes, you can transform into what you want to dress up as.

FREAKING SWEET!

I can't believe I did this!

Ok, this is what happened, I was at my house and it was dark...my mom asked me if I wanted to go to the mall. I said sure and I left by myself. When I got there, it was daylight.

Somehow, my mom got there and asked me if I wanted to wear this cat outfit. I'm guess that I dreamed that because the other day, she said I wouldn't look good in a cat outfit. Well, I thought about it for a second, and thought it would have been weird. But I decided to do it and I was running around the mall which turned into a school then back into a mall or bank or something.

I was wearing fake cat ears, and a fake cat tail. I also had on one of those things that you see in Naruto except it had sleeves and only went down to my waist. It's what that one guy's brother wears...

Anyway, as I was wondering around the mall, I had to look for my cousin. But I ended up in a room and noticed my reflection in the TV. I saw that my fake tail somehow got tied around my neck. I was like "I could have sworn I put that in the right place!" but didn't do anything to fix it. I'm not sure why I didn't fix it...but it didn't seem to bother me.

After awhile, I found my cousin and we proceeded to leave the Mall and look for a ride home. I then woke up and was very happy for some reason. I just couldn't get the feeling of being happy for wearing fake cat ears and a fake cat tail...

Also, I was not lucid in this dream. And no, I did NOT make this up. I have never made up anything for the task of the months.

Edit: wait, do you have to be lucid, or just know that were dreaming? Because when I was making the desicion to wear the cat outfit, I knew I was dreaming, but I wasn't lucid to control my dream.

These are lucid tasks, you have to do it lucidly I'm sure that you'll be able to do it again though.

Aww! Come on!!! I was so close though!

o well, this is directly from my dream journal. i got lucid toward the end of the dream, i'm going to try again though.
I walked out on to the stage. i looked down and saw a sick outerworldly guitar, all black leather, a spiked belt and black shoes. i looked up again at the large crowd. i started playing, they were screaming. i looked down again, becoming lucid when not seeing anything. i threw my guitar into the crowd, then again and again, never running out of guitars. i woke up before anything else happened.

did i kill the thread or something? why i am still the last person to respond >.<?

fnah? do i get my wings for this or not? this is killing me.

As this is the first monthly task I've attempted, my first problem was to remember to think about it when I LD'd. After forgetting a couple of times I finally clicked this morning. The start of the dream is a littly hazy, but I followed something into the ocean and then tried to get back up onto the dock. I couldn't find anything to put my foot on to get up so I tried putting my head under the water to look for something to help me up. Everything under water was illuminated and clear. This tipped me off to the fact that I was dreaming so I double checked this by taking a deep breath of water. Now convinced that I was asleep I gave up on climbing out of the water and took the simpler option of flying back up on to the dock. Once there I remembered I had to look for a Jack-O-Lantern. As there weren't any around and I find conjuring things to be a bit of a challenge I took the opportunity to try closing my eyes and spinning, a technique I first read of just recently when I signed up here. So I closed my eyes, pictured a room that was completely empty except for a Jack-O-Lantern and then spun around a couple of times. Unfortunately, when I opened them again I was laying awake in bed, or so I thought. I didn't remember to do an RC and was duped by a false awakening. I just carried on into a non-lucid dream after that and then everything fades to obscurity.

I found myself lucid on an empty street. I thought to myself, "I'm dreaming!" So I remembered the lucid task for the month and closed my eyes. I concentrated on seeing a pumpkin and when I opened my eyes there were three jackolanterns stacked on top of each other biggest to smallest. I walked up to the pumpkins and said "what is your name?" The top pumpkin told me a name, something like oogiabra or something weird, I cant remember, and then his mouth started opening and closing really fast until he and the other pumkins dicentegrated into the air. It was really creepy. It was like sand falling to the ground but there was no pile afterward. I thought to myself," that wasnt good enough" so I found myself in a hardware store (dont know why it was a hardware store) and there was a isle full of fake pumkins. I thought it wouldnt work but I walked up to them and tried talking to them. They only followed me with their eyes and kind of snickered at me. Some of them lit up, and turned their "heads" to follow me. Thats all I got out of them. I lost lucididy before I could try the costume thing.
