Task of the Month for May 2009

[ninja9578]

Introduction: This topic is for the Lucid Tasks that are assigned by me or voted on by experienced 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 - Give a flower to a Dream Character Advanced Task - Turn into a mythical creature

[guitarboy]

Sweet, going to attempt to turn into a hippogrif.

[hellohihello]

I'll probably try giving a DC a flower tomorrow morning. When we do the Advanced task, how do we know we turned into a creature?

[ninja9578]

I would suggest looking at yourself

[guitarboy]

I'm going to start the dream in third person view, easiest way to do it

[Hukif]

Oh my! Cool tasks... why just when I decided to focus on DW! Ah well, will have to do at least one <.<

[Dairyman]

Sweet! I'm gonna try to create a V.I.L.D tonight and do the basic task. I have a good feeling about this.

[Souperman22]

For the advanced one, does Chuck Norris count?

[Shift]

For the advanced one, does Chuck Norris count? No, in fact the only thing making Chuck Norris jokes counts is against you. I have an awesome plan for the advanced task, if I can get a good stable lucid. I'm going to turn into a Gorgon. First, I'm going to turn someone else into stone by looking at them, then I'm going to find a mirror to prove that I've turned into it, and by looking at myself I will turn to stone, die, and wake up.

[hellohihello]

I'm going to give the most beautiful girl a flower and then we will hug.

[Higurashi]

Cool, the May tasks are up . I'll be trying the basic one first...I need more time to figure out which mythical creature I'll become.

[Caradon]

Ok, here is my dream from last night. Basic Lucid task completed There was a lot of weird stuff that eventually led up to me being in this house with some family that I don't know in real life. I was helping them to cook a big meal. I didn't really know what to do to help, though. And I felt more like I was getting in the way than helping. At some point I randomly look at my watch, not really intending to RC. But when I look at it all the numbers are messed up. They are half formed and changing very chaotically. The teenage boy of the family is sitting near by. I say, "Hey look at my watch, that's so weird. It's like it could look in a dream." But I honestly thought it was just doing that because the battery was dying. But I decide to do another RC to make sure. I pinch my nose closed and I can breath through it easily. "Hey, this is a dream." I say to the boy. The dream is so real that it seems kind of strange to believe it's a dream just because I can breath through a pinched nose. But I accept the truth of it anyway. The boy and I are near the top of a stairway. I leap off the top of the stairs, easily missing them all, and landing softly on the ground floor. I walk down a hall and into the kitchen, where the mother is still preparing food. I tell her that we are dreaming an d she believes me. there is a little bit of stuff here that I don't remember very well. I was talking to the mom a little bit, and then we were getting ready to go outside and find something fun to do. Just before we go outside I say to her, " I have not decided what I'm going to do with you people yet." As I say that I realize it may sound kind of sinister. But I have no harmful intentions towards these people. I feel like they are friends, and I just meant that I wanted to involve them in whatever I do in this dream. "Oh, I know. Lets do the DV Lucid task of the month!" I walk outside into the yard, and the mother follows me. I somehow know there is a garden out there without even consciously trying to summon one. I find the garden right away. The first thing I see is something that looks like yellow Dandelions. I pick one and hold it out to the mother. "A flower for you." She takes it. Confident that I completed the task, I'm still not quite satisfied, though. Technically a Dandelion is not a flower, it's a weed. So, I look around some more, and I find what looks similar to Tulips, I think. ( I don't really know my flowers well.) Only they have long stalks. They stand about waist high. The pedals are bright yellow. "Perfect!" Just then the womans daughter comes walking up a trail, and into the yard. We are on kind of a hill. The daughter is more my age, and I decide that I will give her the flower. So I pick one of the tall tulip looking things. Hand it to the daughter and say, " A flower for you." She takes it, and at the same time ends up dropping some stuff she was carrying. It looks like she had a bunch of rolled up posters or something, I don't know. "Cool, I just completed the Lucid task." I say to her. "Do you know what that means?" "Yeah, we are dreaming." She says. I start to help her pick up the things she dropped, and then remembered it's pointless to do that in a dream. And I say so. The daughter tells me that she knows, that's why she didn't pick them up. I then, notice a white garage, and leap up onto the roof. Intending to do some fun acrobatics off it. But once I get up there I'm struck by the view. We are up on a hill like I said before, but from my vantage point on the roof, I can really see the surrounding area. A little ways off in the distance is a large body of water. Like a very big lake. Along much of the shore is a thick green forest. There is a yacht on the lake. And there are a couple of white birds that look like seagulls flying across the surface of the water. It's a very beautiful scene, and I just stand there enjoying the sight for a few moments before I wake up.

[ProLuko]

What if you hand someone a flower as a mythological creature? 2x points, plz! Jokes, jokes. & Caradon, the last part of that entry made me smile. I love views in dreams... technically speaking, I guess I like Dream Views ^^

Dream 1 - Flowers!?! I was laying in bed for about 3 hours, waiting for SP. It seemed like forever. It eventually came though I jump out of my bedroom window and landed in my front garden. I instantly remembered the task of the month, so I decided to steal some flowers from my garden. I came across a small group of purple flowers at the very corner of my garden. I grabbed one and attempted to pull it out. Instead of it breaking out, it began to stretch. I pulled it down to the end of my street until it eventually snapped. Flower in hand, I ran down a few roads looking for some DC. I came across a group of them walking to school, I knew them all. I gave the first girl my flower, she said thanks and gave me a hug. One of the guys then said 'If you give me a flower, I will let you go out with my ex' I ran to the nearest garden, found a beautiful white rose and handed it to him. Once that was over, I followed the group of students to class. On the journey I remembered what Shift said to me about taking in the dream, so I ran my fingers down the walls and fences as I walked past them. Every time i did this my Lucidity would restore itself, I was really impressed of how real everything felt. I stole one of the students phone and tried to find Hazel. I didn't even have to dial to number, it just rang. She answered and I asked her where she was. She told me she was on the other side of the school. I arrived at the school with the group of students, they all left their separate ways. I continued through the school to try and get to the other side. As I walked down the corridors, I traced my fingers on the smooth wall. I reached a small eating area and saw my eldest cousin. She told me how to get out of the school, I was glad I found her because I was lost. I turned around to find my dog stood in the line for food, this made me stop completely. This dog has been dead for years, yet he was stood right in front of me alive and well. I was so confused by him, i woke up. I will attempt the advanced task next

[Greed]

I am going to sleep now I am going to try and pull a flower out of my sleeve like a magician. My mythical creature I pick is the hydra.

[CHiLLEN]

Sounds good, i'll give it ago.

[Yume.no.ato]

D= This sounds like something that even I can do with my limited experience. If I have LDs this month I'll try my hardest to remember =D

[Noddy]

Basic Task complete here is the entry... May 5, 2009 Lucid Dream 45: A Gift DEILD Category - Action I was entering a dream through DEILD from my previous dream. My living room began to slowly appear. I was laying on the couch and Olivia Munn was sitting at my feet. My dad walked over and told me to scoot over some, so he could sit down for a minute. I wasn't stabilized yet, so I ignored his request. Olivia got up and sat on my waist and dad sat down to fix his fishing pole. I now sat up and did a quick nose pinch RC and, of course, I was dreaming. Dad jokingly said, "Boy, you better listen to me until your strong enough to whip Mike Tallon's ass." He then pointed toward the doorway. A black male who was more or less a mass of muscle walked through the doorway. I replied, "Ok!" I jumped up and was prepared to fight him. Dad chuckled and said, "I knew you were crazy enough to attempt it." I told him I was going to win easily. He replied, "Hell, you may do it!" Me and Mike Tallon (who is fictional, btw) began circling each other and then a bell rang. He took a quick step toward me and attempted a jab, but I cut hard right and swung across my body with a powerful uppercut and connected! Mike Tallon fell to the floor and I went in for the finish. He whipped his body around and got into full guard position. I leaned up hard and connected with a shot to his jaw. I then quickly threw his leg from around me while he was stunned and entered side control. I threw hammershot after hammershot and a ref appeared out of nowhere and stopped the fight. I jumped up and cheered. I noticed there were like 30 people standing around the living room watching. My dad said, "Holy sh** he whipped his a**!" He then picked up the remote and pushed rewind. I then tried to move backwards in the correct order. He hit play and I did the exact same thing over again, lol. After the replay, people began throwing roses toward me and cheering. I heard some champagne bottles pop in the background. The roses reminded me of the lucid task, so I picked one up and walked into the kitchen. I gave the plastic rose to my mom and said, "Happy Mothers Day!" she said, "What is this for?" I then said, "Umm, Mothers Day." She told me thanks and she put it in water even though it was fake, lol. I then walked back into the living room and was trying to transform into a werewolf. During my struggle I accidentally woke myself up.

[KingYoshi]

Well, took a little evening nap and I completed the advanced task. Here is my entry... May 6, 2009 Lucid Dream 46: Danger on the Beach around 6:00pm DILD Category - Action I was driving to a hotel at myrtle beach where apparently, me and Cliff were renting like an apartment for 100$ a month. Lol. I called Cliff and he said he was there, so I came up and walked in. It was a very nice two bedroom w/ den hotel room. I walked in and Jessica was also there along with Meg F. We were laying there on the bed watching t.v. and I asked Meg if she smoked ganj, but she said she only drank. We were talking about getting drunk later when the dream skipped ahead. I was now in the hotel room and my cousins Meg and Ian were there as well. We were all drinking a little and I passed out on the bed. I awoke in the floor and felt strange. I did a nose pinch RC and discovered I was dreaming. I ran out onto the balcony and did a front flip off of it. I landed on my feet down on the sand below. I was walking down the beach when I saw a hot female in a bikini bent over in front of me. I walked up to her and began having sex with her. I noticed in front of us was my leather chair that I have in real life. It was about 10 feet taller than normal however. One of the DCs walking on the beach said, "Wow that chair is monsterous!" That reminded me of the lucid task. I looked out over the ocean and I saw a large full moon being slowly revealed from behind a cloud. I spread my arms wide and let out a yell that turned into a roar. I looked down at my hands and noticed I had long claw-like fingernails. I got down and began running on all fours chasing DCs around the beach. I leapt on one and sunk my claws into him. I then bit a chunk out of his arm and took off after a different DC. There was a large window to my left that I could see my reflection in. My face was kind of the same , but my nostrils were flared and larger than usual, my eyes were yellow, my hair was longer and grew backward in what I would imagine an anime werewolf would have. I snarled my teeth and noticed I had large sharp canine teeth. My body was extremely muscular, as if I had done steroids, but I didn't have excessive body hair. I was indeed a werewolf. I growled and chased several more DCs, I awoke shortly after. I woke up in the same hotel, so I knew I was still dreaming. I did a quick nose pinch Rc to confirm my suspicions. I walked over toward the mirror, but I was normal again. I heard someone walk into my room and I turned to see a very hot female. I proceeded to have sex with her and awoke sometime during.

[CRAZY BONE]

Okay, so I finally got around to completing the TotM... So I decided to turn into a werewolf, since it's something I thought would be fun to try in a dream. I was going through some military training when I became lucid. I immediatley changed the scenery to the top of a big hill by my house. It was nighttime and there was a big full moon. I summoned a mirror and propped it up next to a big boulder so I could watch myself transform. I started with my hands. I looked down at them and started to make gray fur appear, then I morphed my fingernails into big black claws. The fur began to travel up my arms through the rest of my body and I began to feel warmer. I looked in the mirror and focused on my face. I turned my eyes red and luminous, and stared up at the moon for a moment. When I looked back at the mirror I was looking at a full werewolf. My shirt was gone, and my pants were ripped and baggy. I then started to run down the hill as fast I could and jumped off of all fours and went sailing through the air and landed on the street. I began to run on all fours and went at 50 miles an hour through my dark street, it was a really cool feeling. I didn't know what else to do so I began flying around, and just vandalized a bunch of houses, then I woke up.

I was able to re-enter a dream today, and attempted the basic task of the month: Suddenly I think of completing the task of the month. What was it? I see a girl walking past me with a flower in her dress. That was it! Give a dream character a flower. She tells me that she’s supposed to be going to prom, but she doesn’t have a date. I tell her I’d gladly go with her, if she would allow me to give her a flower. She agrees, and I reach into my pocket expecting it to be there. It’s not, so I look around remembering that I’m surrounded by flowers and plants. I go off to pick one, but they all look so ugly...I go off to find a pretty one, and when I return I see that the girl has left. I was given another chance later on, and even thought of the advanced task: I see my friend Sarika and jump at the chance to give her a flower. I attempt to conjure one up, but I just couldn't. I leave to find a nice-looking flower and begin to think about the advanced task. Maybe I'd have better luck with that one? My thoughts are interrupted as I see Sarika trying to sneak out and I run to her, angry. I was so angry waking up from this ;_; I couldn't create a flower, but I was in a greenhouse...filled with flowers...and I didn't take any because they weren't pretty enough. Hopefully I'll have better luck later on...

[AURON]

I was in some huge parking lot with lots of people. And I said lets do this basic task again...I have no idea why I didn't get credit but oh well. I just thought about flowers being where a tree was, and all different types sprang from it. I saw an older, but beautiful black woman who had on a expensive looking dress. I gave her a smile and said "here, these are for you". She said why are you giving them to me? I said the people at DV want me to give them to you. She said something like she owned those flowers there, and I pulled out my wallet and said what do I owe you then? She said nothing....but she wanted some different ones. I said, just "keep those, I got every single type that was available". She wanted me to walk with her.

[Ivi942]

As soon as my dryspell ends, I'm gonna try doing these tasks! I think I'm gonna turn into a dragon... and give somebody a flower while still being one I think there was only one DC I ever gave flowers to... And it ate the flowers XD
