Thread: Task of the Month for February 2009

Being true to your gf.. that's so sweet!

Next time simply explain.. it's just a friendly hug!

.

So far, all my LD are DILD. This time (for this month's task) I decided to try WILD and see what happens. .... Now, I am not sure what happened, but this is what I have to say.
I started with some breathing and relaxsation excersises... kind of becoming very still, not thinking of anything...
and then....
I SAW a face of a little girl, long blue hair...It was so vivid - I made a drawing afterwards . I wasn't 'seeing in my mind' or anything similar...I simply saw her. And she looked back at me.... I liked her but there was something 'blue' about her....
I thought it was Clairity as a child. She looked at me and I got like the whole story related to her...even some names...
However, I forgot to hug her!!!!
I do not know what was it... my imagination working overtime? but it was realy interesting experience.
(by the way, the segments from my story about this little girl: she's got grandpa and there is something sad about him. there is a cat, and/or someone named Kathryn or Kathy. And someone said : her middle name is Dawn. She is going to become an arhitect. ....she is kind of a lonely child but very WISE)
So I do not expect the wings for this month, I do not even know what was it... However, I wanted to share this experience with you.... There was something special and unusal in the whole thing...I cannot explain it now....

Lol, blue hair on Clairity is funny, didn't someone else dreamt hat too?

The badges will be fixed shortly.

How cool that when she looked at you.. you got her whole life story!

Don't fret.. you still have some month left to get a hug!

I almost forgot
I completed the advanced lucid task over the weekend. Here is an excerpt from my dream journal:

The vibrating energy returns, stronger. My attention seems to sustain it. The vibration grows, and soon encompasses my entire body. I know I am entering a dream, so I create a beach scene and watch it appear around me. I hover above the red sand, floating slowly forward on the breeze as I try to remember what I wanted to do.

I remember I wanted to shoot someone with cupid's arrow. People are splashing in the water further down the beach, so I catch the wind and speed towards them. As I approach, I reach behind my back to pull out a shining metal bow with red accents. I draw back an arrow, aim, and release it into the small crowd. The arrow makes me chuckle. It looks like a sex toy or phallus, thick and pink with a heart shaped tip. It flies straight towards a beautiful young woman who is bent over splashing in the water, and sinks suggestively in her rear. She turns around, and looks around for me with a look of pure lust in her eyes. She walks towards me slowly, stripping off her swimsuit as she approaches. She presses her naked breasts against me, and leans up on her tip toes to kiss me. When I get a good look at her face, I realize she is beautiful, but much too young. From up close, she looks like a child. Uncomfortable, my consciousness drifts back to myself in bed, and I think briefly about what this means. This very adult holiday is based on the complicated themes of love and sex, but sold to schoolchildren in boxes of cartoon valentines and candy hearts that say "kiss me". Something is wrong with this holiday.

Does this count! (last paragraph)

When I entered SP something jumped on my bed and said hello! It was very strange.When SP was over I thought I failed because my eyes kept opening over and over and over again and I was "spinning" in my bed. When it subsided I did a Reality check. (the nose pinch)... "It... worked?" I said to myself. I opened my eyes and I was in my brothers room.I then saw a clock which read 4:44 and it was orange outside like late afternoon. For some reason I said that can't be right it isn't morning! duh.. it can be 4:44 in the afternoon . I then looked in a mirror and I was wearing underwear. I checked my hands and had four long fingers! I went into my room and put my head through a window without it breaking. Then I said I better be careful I don't know If I am sleep walking for some strange reason even though I knew I was in a dream and AFTER my head was through the window. I took my head out and put it through the wall instead lol. I then shoved my body through and went outside.

I stabilized my dream and such when I walked on my sidewalk. I then thought to do the task of the month! I was spinning around and told myself clairity would be up the street. For some reason Clairity was my best friend! I went up and said "hi Clairity" and hugged her. She didn't try to get away anything so it was a nice bear hug! Then some voice out of no where and asked her if she liked my new book I wrote. I do not know where that came from but she said yes. I waved goodbye and walked back to my house. It was getting less vivid so I tried to stabilize but it didn't work and I woke up in my house. I did a reality check but I was in reality and got up after I recalled the dream.

Awww, I was your best friend and I love bear hugs!

I would definately think this counts!

Yay

Aww badges are down?

Yes, the badges are down, but I can't fix it. We have to wait for asher or Wavefunction to do it.

Well, I completed at least one of the tasks, if not both, so I'm looking forward to the badges being fixed!

I was in the Aperture Science Testing Facility from Portal again, and remembered to try and find Clairity and give her a hug. I was woken up by my alarm, but it was an early alarm, so I could try to WILD (or, as it turned out, DEILD).

She finished up the speech, and after everyone else left went back through the chairs (there were only two rows in the room, and I was standing at the back, so she only had to climb between one row of chairs) and asked me how the speech went. I said it was great, and congratulated her on being the hottest young senator since Robin DeSantos (which, even though you have no idea who she is unless you read the Walkyverse comics and who is fictionally in the House of Representatives, is a really good compliment to be compared to her. Especially considering that she has recently been shown to smell like Skittles candies, which I still find awesome. Clairity understood what I meant). She leaned over the back row of chairs and gave me a big hug, which was kind of weird considering the slope of the room and the difference in height.

I was taller, not her. I’m probably the first person not to dream “tall Clairity”. Anyway, that’s when it got [spoilered] for adult content. And if that didn’t count, since it’s “hug Clairity” and not “hug or be hugged by Clairity,” I did hug her at least once, and probably several times depending on what you consider hugging.
Yeah, Clairity, I am really glad you and your husband have a “cheating doesn’t happen in dreams” rule. Even though it wasn’t actually your dream.

The other task I may have completed, I was able to summon Cupid’s Bow (or a bow with the same powers), but I never actually stole it.

Then time skipped back again before she could reach us.

And I just realized that she looked like Riza when she was working for Bradley, only with her hair like Trisha Elric’s. That was why she "looked like Riza, only, not."

So, I know I completed the “Hug Clairity” task, but I’m not sure on the “Steal Cupid’s Bow” task. I’m pretty sure I completed it, but not 100% sure.

YAY.. I was a hot young senator in your dream!

Well, the important thing is that we "hugged".. right??

You did look just like you profile pic (but less glossy). Coolness.

Right. That part of the task, totally completed. And no quotes around "hugged" were necessary

Naughty dream is naughty

Cupid gets some of his own medicine. (odd story)

This took place at the end of a LD that was about the 4th in a series of DEILDs covering the same basic plot line, so I'll just go over briefly over that before getting to the relevant part as they aren't really related. (Also I'm bad and don't ever keep a dream journal )

The LD lead in was basically me on the run from some agency for having various un-natural powers and using them (various dream powers) I had used my abilities to take control of and kill one of the programs agents (also with powers) by using my greater abilities to lock hers down before killing her, causing them to come after me.

I fled through various cities, opening portals from place to place while being followed all the while. After taking out my pursuers many times I finally went to their headquarters to finish them off once and for all.

The HQ was actually modeled off portions of my house, and I made my way down the hallway to where our TV room is irl, which had their mainframe computers which I was going to destroy to finish them off.

After I had cleared the way to the computer I could feel the dream was about to come to an end, but still could hold it for a couple more minutes. All I needed to do to finish the scenario was to hit a button on the computer, so I was trying to think of something I could do for the next couple minutes to test my abilities.

The first thing that came to mind was; "Hey, lets see if I can summon cupid and complete the DV task." So with that decided, I called out for cupid to appear, turned around, and there he was standing on the stairs behind me. He was probably just over 2ft tall, and looked almost exactly like the goat many from the Disney animated Hercules movie. (Bottom half like the back half of a goat) He was holding his little bow & the arrows had little hearts on the tips.

I called out for his bow to summon it from him, then took it and started shooting it at him repeatedly as he ran away up the stairs. When he got to the top and hid in a corner he had 3 or four arrows sticking out of him in various directions. He then vanished & I could really feel myself starting to leave the dream so I dropped the bow, ran back into the room, and hit the button on the computer to destroy the agency just as the dream ended & I awoke.

Ok, yeah so that was weird and cupid wasn't actually connected to the main theme of the dream what-so-ever besides me simply wanting to see if I could actually summon him while I had some time to kill. But hey, it was my 1st TotM that I'd done, so it works.

Nicely done.

No wings?

And I realized how that sounded when I logged out. I meant it depends on whether you count a hug as arms 70% around the other person, like hugging someone with flour or dirt on your hands, or if itr was minimum 100%, wheter hug should have been singular or plural.

I accept if I still have to do the Steal Cupid's Bow task, but I know I completed the basic task.

well I sorta managed to do it a couple nights ago while I was on holiday. heres how it went.

I was in a public bathroom and i accidently walked into someone staring at the mirror. it was kinda odd because i literally walked into them! I stared in the mirror and saw the guy i bumped into earlier. i decided to document what had happened in my DJ (i thought i had woken up) when another person walked in and explained that I was still dreaming. he proved it to me by making rats appear on the floor.
Anyway, I ran out of the bathroom, and remembered what i had to do. i spun around until i was inside a room filled with classy furniture. I saw two people, one covered with jewellery like she was some sort of egyptian princess... the other with dark brown hair in a ponytail, a black top and a cream skirt... I think. I asked if one of them was clairity, the first replied "no. I'm beautiful" the other said "yeah, call me claire" I walked up to her, and gave her a huge hug..

the rest of my dream kinda gets really random where the president of america is jack black
now wouldn't that be awesome??

yeah. thanks to whoever helped me realise i was still dreaming, i owe you one haha

JET73L, I overlooked your post, you'll get wings soon

Congratulations on completing the task by hugging me! (I love huge hugs!! )

Two things to say:

1)To see Clairity more crearly in a dream, there isn't any photo of her?
2)If Clairity want to complete the task of the month, she must hug herself?
3)This is the third thing

I was wondering the same thing. I just found the dream where you did it, Clairity I almost missed it.

That seems almost too easy.

1) If you read the entire thread, it states that you can find what I look like in my profile pic and I also posted a link to another pic of me.

2) See RB's post below..

Cool, thanks.

In case the other dream didn't count towards the advanced task, I spent last night in the few minutes before i fell asleep smacking Cupid with a walking stick until he dropped the bow and ran away, then using the bow. Unfortunately, I was right last night: I wouldn't remember any dream this morning. I did have a feeling like i'd just done something cool, so I may have usurped a god's power, probably Cupid. So, here's to the hope that I'll be able to dream and remember the advanced task tonight!
Also, i'm trying to combine the Temple of Zeus and Cupid's Bow into one task. Not working so far.
