Task of the Month for June 2009

Wow, I actually did it! I managed to FILD, and this is the result:

I feel myself enter the dream and manage to get my eyes open. It's still really dark, so I turn on a light and look at my hands to stabilize the dream. The first thing that comes to my mind is the advanced challenge on DV, which is to fight one of the sith. First, I need a light saber. It is really cold inside my house, so I consider putting on a jacket. I decide that probably won't help, so I go outside to find something that can be turned into a light saber. Outside, it is really warm.

I find a stick near the edge of my yard while my brother tags along. I think about our dreamshare project, but decide that I'd rather do the task. I get the stick and, after a bit of concentration, manage to turn it into a red light saber. Now for the fun part. "Count Dooku! I summon you!" ((Not sure why I said "I summon you," it just seemed appropriate at the time.)) I see a flash of robes behind me, but when I whirl around, nothing is there. After sesveral moments of looking around, he suddenly appears beside me, laughing evilly. We start fighting, and I barely dodge as he lunges and almost impales me through my stomach.

After a bit of fighting, both of our light sabers suddenly flicker out. "Hey what happened!?" I exclaim.

He looks annoyed. "The batteries died."

"What!? But these things don't run on batteries!"

Apparently they do. We go in and change the batteries, but he grows bored of fighting me and quits.

Lol, that would be funny to see a jedi changing the batteries of his light sabre :chuckle:

Darth Maul is mine!;)

Hm, the badge doesn't seem to be working. It's only a big red x.

DuB hasn't put them up yet, he's scared of the admin panel. :P

So I read about this yesterday night and completed the task while I was dreaming lucidly last night. It's a long dream, so I'm just going to share the part where I asked my father about myself.

I really needed clothes since summer is nearly here, so I went shopping. My parents drove me, wanting to spend some "quality time with me" like they always complain they never get to. I remember to ask my dad about how I am. I turn around and ask, "Tell me something about me." In my dad's typical behavior, he shrugs. "What do you want to know?" "I don't know! Anything! How was I when I was little?" "Cute and sweet." I laugh and go do some shoppping, splurging on things I could never afford in real life. :biggrin:

Trying FILD every night, no results. hope this night i get one :/

The Apprentice is a sith?

A loose quote from SW I. The sort version is 'yes' :p

Nice job nicole.

Shoot, I wound up talking to my friend's dad.
Mulligan!

Ok, you can take a mulligan :P

Thank you! :hug:

I fought a sith in my third ever lucid dream (when I didn't even know you could train becoming lucid). I totally remember as it was the coolest LD I've ever had.

I was walking down the main street in downtown Breda (the Netherlands). It was a normal walk, but then all of a sudden I became completely aware of the fact that it was a dream, don't remember what caused it though. I saw a lightsaber in a shop window and decided to take it (the glass didn't stop my hand). Then I needed someone to fight and the moment I wished there was someone a Darth Maul look a like appeared (he had a yellow face instead of red). So I battled him using the force to jump real high and move real fast. It was absolutely fantastic! Of course, before the battle was over I woke up...

I'll try to do any of these tasks again as I suppose it does not count if you did it in the distant past :?

Nope, sorry, you gotta do it during the month of June :(

-----
2nd one is me waking up and got out of my bed (skip putting on my shirt and pants?) and try to cut on the light. I thought I may be dreaming so I gone in the other room and try it, the light won't cut on. For some unknown reason I did not look at my hands and gone to the living room and no light. At this point I knew I was dreaming and just jump in the air to float but I notice my dad on the couch asleep. That all I remember. I really need a plan for when I become lucid.
-----

Seem like I had my chance but my recall seem to got weak on me. I could just lie but why would I want to do that for a silly old badge? :P I may try again later...I totally forgot about the task at that moment so I doubt I would have ask him anything.

I will skip out the other parts of the LD.

I walked downstairs to my dad sat in the dinning area. I instantly remembered the task of the month. "Dad! is there anything you want to say about me?"
He looked at me blankly and said "What?" Then I said "Well, is there anything about me you like?" and then he smiled "Ermm I don't know, you're cool I guess"
Then I left the house through the window.

lol. The best part of that was when you jumped through the window. :P

I completed the advanced task. Here is my entry...

Lucid Dream 68: Sith Rangers
around 8:00am
DILD

I looked around and noticed I was in the back seat of my vehicle. I saw that the auto-pilot light was on in my car and I felt a bit nervous. I watched my car drive and it was doing o.k., but I didn't trust it. I turned off the auto-pilot and grabbed the wheel. I began to wonder how I got to Peterstown (3 towns away from my town). I looked at the gas gauge and there was the exact same amount of in my car that was in there in real life. I then looked around outside and everything seemed completely real. I passed a bank and the time on the sign said 11:31. Everything seemed normal, but I couldn't figure out how I had got into Peterstown. I did a quick nose pinch RC and couldn't believe it! I was dreaming. I did at least 3 more nose pinch RCs before diving head first out of my car window.

I began jumping real high in the air and then slamming down hard on vehicles as they passed (Hancock style). After flipping a few vehicles I entered a nearby building and decided to go for the lucid task. I opened a closet and immediately found what I was looking for. I picked up a yellow lightsaber and walked into the hallway and shouted, "Where are you Dooku?" Suddenly Count Dooku entered the hallway with his lightsaber in hand.

He began fleury of attacks and I blocked them all with relative ease. We separated for a moment and I said, "Oh come on, this is way too easy." He snarled at me and then leapt toward me. I slid across the floor and jammed my lightsaber up into Dooku's stomach from below. He dropped to his knees and then hunched down on all fours. I stood above him and he looked at me and said, "You WILL fail. I am just the beginning. My sith rangers WILL destroy you!" I laughed and then with a quick swipe his head rolled across the floor.

I walked into a nearby room which was fairly large and saw a large, silver, metal wolf (like the morph from the old power rangers show). I fought it for a while and finally jumped on its back and drove my lightsaber down through the top of its head. I walked passed the heap of metal, down the hallway, and into another room.

Inside I was ambushed by the yellow power ranger. He was also holding a lightsaber. I ducked under the first swing and then exploded toward the ceiling with a tornado-like spin. I looked back and saw the yellow ranger was in four separate pieces scattered around the room.

I walked back across the hall and into the room I had fought the metal wolf, and there was now a large, blue, metal panther waiting on me. It leapt toward me and I immediately threw my light saber in a helicopter-like motion and it cut through the panthers middle. The lightsaber return to me boomerang style and I was jumped by the blur ranger from behind. He looked at me and said, "I am the last and most powerful of the..." I took a baseball swing before he could finish talking and sliced his head from his shoulders. I then kicked it out the nearby window. I exited the building when I began to feel myself waking up. I tried to hold on, but failed and I awoke. This dream kicked ass! My thanks to Ninja for the excellent Task of the Month.

wtf, that was awesome :D

Dang you Ninja, putting cool tasks while I'm gone, will have to work on them.

K, first decent LD of the Month, finally. It was WILD #19. Yay.

Anyways, I did both Tasks, but I don't remember what my Dad said to me. He was being really roundabout when it came to answering my question, and his final answer was truly uninteresting and uninspired. Anyways, here's the advanced task, kinda:

I'm trying to get a bit more sleep before going about the day. Suddenly, as I'm laying there, I start to feel intense vibrations. Looks like I'm WILDing, might as well go along with it; I'm too tired to complain. So, eventually, it seems as if my legs lift up into the air and drop back down, the vibrations subsiding as they drop. I figure I've either failed, or the transition was so smooth I didn't even notice it. I RC, and it turns out I'm dreaming.

Yay! First thing's first, advanced task. I get up and walk to the door of my room. There was going to be a sith in hallway. As I open the door, I reach to my side, and fool myself into pulling out a lightsaber. I light it, it glows a dull red. Looks like I'm the sith in this fight, I don't know why I expected anything different. I really hope this counts, since I'm technically going to be fighting myself here, and if I'm the sith, then I'm fighting a sith, right?

In the narrow hallway before me a green lightsaber is lit, a young Jedi stands before me, in front of my brother's room. I lunge at him, swinging wildly, but each blow is controlled enough to force the Jedi backwards. In moments, I've pushed him back to the balcony overlooking the dining room. I back up. He stand there, ready to fight. I smirk as I force push him into the railing. His lightsaber deactivates as his body crashes against the wood. He slumps to the ground. I'm taken aback at the power behind that ability, so it takes me a second to use the force to fling the Jedi into the air. As he comes down, I move in, impaling him with my saber. I deactivate my saber and push his limp dead body off the balcony.

So yeah, I hope that counts, since any fight in your dreams is always a fight against yourself. Either way, it was still fun. And the dream that followed it was ridonkulous, so it's all good.

Hey Ninja, did you do something different with the badges? They all of a sudden don't show up on my computer anymore. People that have earned them have red X's under their colored name.

No, asher did. He deleted the folder that they were being sent to, I have new ones, but the admins don't know how to point the images to a different place.

Ah, bummer. I loved those badges =/

So, It's time to work on that task of the month I head to my fathers room, and he's in there. Sitting on his bed. I was going to ask him a question, but I told myself to just man up and do the advance on first like I told myself. I started heading to the living room, and when I got there, I told myself that Darth Vadar was at the door. After that I pictured him and all his evilness, and then tried to open the door. The door is unlocked, but I can't turn it! Someones turning on the handle from the other side. Someone strong. I let go, and step back, and the door swings open. Darth Vadar is behind it, and there's no doubt about it. He steps in, and says something to me, in that deep recognizable voice, but I forgot what it was. I told him that I've been waiting on this moment for a while now.

I've been stepping back further into the middle of the living room, and he's now positioned there as well. He pulls out his light saber and his red beam comes out, and I just make one appear out of thin air. I when I pressed the button a red beam came out. Unoriginal, but oh well, it's go time. The first thing he does is force push me. I feel it like a strong wall of air, but it doesn't move me at all. He immediately starts walking slowly towards me. I tried a force push on him, and he was unaffected. He got up to melee range, and our blades crossed several times. I was totally on the defensive most of the fight. Parrying each assault after the next. Everything he threw at me were flurries.

We locked lightsabers, and it was obvious no one was budging. Light sparks were crackling off our weapons as we stood there toe to toe with our weapons interlocked. Just when I started thinking about how cool this was, he force pushed me. It knocked me off balance, and I went several paces backwards. Oddly enough, beam from my lightsaber was shortened to a daggers length. He came in at me again, and I just kept parrying everything he had to throw at me. As soon as he stopped, I hit the off switch and turned it back on. My weapon was at it's full length again and it was now my turn. I started swinging at him, and everything was connecting. I hit his weapon arm twice, but there was no damage. I stepped back and trusted right at that computer thing thats mounted on his chest, and dug in. I kept twisting the blade to make sure it got everything that was keeping him alive, and then I pulled up on the blade, and brought it back to my side. His whole suit from his chest to his face was now ruined. Half of his mask split off, and he looked like this guy I knew from school named Vic. I laughed as he dropped to the floor.

Nice dream
