Would it count if I ate so many hot dogs and/or hamburgers that my stomach exploded?

That sounds like it would be awesome.

I'm gonna keep this simple

MY FAILED ATTEMPT AT THE ADVANCED TASK


I was in a car with someone. I realized I was dreaming, then told myself that all the cars were transparent. I commanded the driver to hit all the cars, and we easily passed through them all. I hopped out of the car. My face felt all crunched up, and as I walked over to a fire hydrant to stabilize, my eyes closed. I knew the dream was fading, so I spun to remain lucid. I pictured the inside of a plane cabin (I wanted to explode after skydiving ) But I ended up in a bedroom. I then lost lucidity.

I know, but would it count?

It should definitely count for the basic task. I don't know if just having your stomach explode is enough to complete the advanced task though.

Attempt #2:

Around the time I jump off my van and soar 10 feet into the air, I realize something's not quite right. A reality check shows me I'm asleep, and for the first 30 seconds or so I just marveled at how vivid and detailed the dream was. It didn't feel like reality, it felt more real than reality. I didn't think much about anything other than taking it in, even though I've been there thousands of times in reality. All of a sudden, TOTM occurred to me. I went up to the nearest kid and said, " Sammy! (I guess that was his name. It is now anyway)! Get me a hot dog! Fast!" Confused, he proceeds to pull one out of his pocket. I grab it, and down it in two bites. It tasted more like pork than beef or turkey. I woke up after I finished.

Completed Basic Task. Never even thought to try and explode myself.

Task 2:
I am in my room and am looking for some kind of fuse I can put in my body for the explosion. I find a piece of rope and put one end in my mouth. I light the other end with a lighter and the fuse begins to burn. As the fire enters my mouth, my body starts to get hot. Then, light starts shining from the sides of my body and it looked as if there were seams holding my body together and as they begin to split apart, red and white fiery light was coming from the splitting seams of my body.

Task 1:
I am walking on a busy street and ask a woman if she has a hamburger. She said to ask her daughter. I did, and the little girl gave me a tiny, plastic looking burger about the size of a quarter. I ate it but hardly tasted like food. More like eating a small kid's toy. In return I showed her a magic trick. I held up my hands and she watched as I made my fingernails grow before her very eyes. She was so impressed that she wanted me to do that for her, which I did. Afterwards, she made a comment under her breath that she wished they were a different color but I had to go do other things.

DAMN,
I joined too late...
Those tasks are awesome. When + how do new tasks get decided?

It's just a guess, but I figure that they decide on new tasks in the spesific section of the forum that opens up for you when you've completed one of the tasks.

Looks about right. I'll have to set about doing next months tasks, so I can suggest some of my own ones later on. It's pretty good motivation

My dream apparently happened when I was dressed in either Chinese or Vietnam (maybe Japanese) military uniform. I am in some kind of planning room and the US army was advancing on us. As I prepare to walk out of the doorway, I asked myself if I am dreaming. I was. I thought of how to explode. I walked in circles until I went to the cupboard behind and got a cigar.

I lit it and exploded. Immediately, I got propelled 3/4 of the height from the floor. I was looking down at myself (just like what happens when you die). One second later, I flowed down like an erratic paper aeroplane back to my body (I could feel the backward and forward motion). Then I woke up.

Oops, it's August isn't it?
