Thread: Task of the Month for June 2009

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 - Ask your father a question about yourself


Advanced Task - Fight a sith *

*A sith is a Star Wars character who uses the dark side of the force. Most notably, Darth Vader. Their weapon of choice is the light sabre.

Enjoy.

I chose the star wars theme for two reasons: It was a huge summer blockbuster, and Father's Day is in June and a recent poll picked the scene where Darth Vader cut off Luke's arm then revealed that he was his father as the worse father-son moment of all time

not something i would be comfortable doing... thats why I think I'll pass on the sith task. on the other hand i would TOTALLY want to spend an LD talking to my dad!

(working on sarcasm)

I think I'll still work on last month's tasks. they seem a little more like something I would do.

Well I may have accomplished the Basic Task last night, before I knew what it was...

I started out lucid in my room although there were a couple of V.R. arcade games around me. I had fallen asleep thinking about them. So i got up and went downstairs and I was calling out for "dream guide" (personal lucid task) and when I got to the bottom of the stairs by the the front door there were my mom and 3-4 other women glaring menacingly at me like I was gonna get yelled at for something. So I went outside and my dad was in his car in the driveway. I asked him what was up and got into the car with him. We had one of those conversations that seemed really important at the time but can't really remember it anymore.

don't ask me how I totally forgot what it was, but i just did

It's night time and people are every where, and it sort of just clicks that I'm dreaming I don't even know how long i've been dreaming, but I really want to get Junes Task of the Month out of the way first.

Some guy was telling me that some girl was coming to meet up with me or something, and I told him that I was lucid and flew off to a picnic table with some people sitting there. I jumped on the table and roared at one of the guys sitting there, and he did the same thing. My muscles started growing and my skin became black as night with runic patterns on it. I was ripping out of my clothes and transforming into a Demon! The guy at the other side of the table was doing the same exact thing. The people at the table were horrified of our presence. I started prepping a fireball in my right hand. And my hand now was engulfed. Just when i was about to throw it at him, I had a FA ><

That was last month's task

i'm just going to watch episode II and V as a good reminder



my episode VI is scratched up =( Ironically that occurred right after I saw gungans in the new crap ending.

I live in the same house as my dad. I may try this. The only problem is that:

1. I never wake up in my bed.

2. When I do dream about my house, rarely there is ever anyone home with me.

3. One of my dream sign is useless (don't move and don't speak) dream characters.

So I not sure but maybe I can summon him when I become lucid and remember to do the task.

I had a very clear lucid dream this night, i said:
- Yes, now i have a chance to do a task.
Appearently, i werent about the read the task until now, so i didnt know what to do

Oh noes You'll get it next time.

It's gonna be awesome to fight a sith! I think this is one of the best tasks we've had in a while. I assume Count Dooku is a sith, correct?

Of course, one of my favorite! Be sure and try this one out, I'm excited to hear everyone's dreams on the Sith task.

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.

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.

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!

Thank you!

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.
