Thread: Task of the month for July 2009

I finally attempted the task of the month

After some scary hypnagogic hallucinations, I entered the dream almost immediately knowing that I needed to try and complete the basic task of the month:

Spoiler for Dream:

I jerk to a sitting position in bed, eyes open. This world has a different feel to it...I've done it! I reality check to reaffirm what I already know, I have successfully passed into a lucid dream. This is by far the most 'real' dream I've ever had. I gaze around my room and appreciate how my mind has perfected every detail of this space. I jump out of bed and run to the stairs, with full knowledge of what I want to accomplish. As I descend, I hold out my hand with the task of the month in mind. Though I imagine a hamburger, nothing appears.

Sadly, I failed at creating a hamburger and tried to obtain a dream guide(to tell me where to get one). I failed in this also and eventually ended up on DV chat, where an anonymous member gave me a tip:

Spoiler for Dream:

[Does anyone at least know how I can get a hamburger?]

[check the fridge]
[lol]

I was about to take their advice, when my family showed up and ruined everything:

Spoiler for Dream:

Suddenly my whole family comes through the doorways entering into the kitchen, there noise causing me mental unrest. 'What are you doing on the computer so early in the morning?' scolds my father, at which I mumble an incoherent reply. I try and ignore them the best I can and I walk over to the fridge. Before I can open it my mother taps my shoulder. 'Remind me to go to the store today - we're all out of burgers.'

Needless to say, I am disappointed...but the dream was cool, so I'm fine :3

I can't wait to try again!

You can find the whole dream here, or in the link to my dream journal in my signature.

Ouch! That must have been really frustrating

Only people who complain get an orange name?

LoL, seems that way eh?

I did the advanced task.

Spoiler for DJ Excerpt:

The best part is I gained lucidity doing it. Sweet, finally, a legit DILD. I stabilized for a moment, rubbing my hands, before deciding to get right on the Task of the Month. I had it all planned out, I was going to activate the Self Destruct power from CoH. I "clicked" on the power (this is really abstract and hard to explain) and started through the animations. The red 10, 9, 8, started counting down over my head. I crossed my arms and hunched over, there was no electricity shooting off my body like in the game animation, but when the countdown hit 0 I released. It was one of the weirdest and coolest sensations ever. I could feel the blast engulfing and vaporizing my pursuers and the classmates around me. I saw pixelated specks of red and puffs of orange as my body became nothingness. I was gone and so were many of the things around me. I floated like that for a moment, in that serene state, before reconstructing my body.

Wow. It really seems that people's willingness to do the task really helps them do it. There are a lot this month. More tasks like this, please!

Attempt #1: Didn't go so well.

I went up to a black guy with an ice cream. I told him I would kill him if he didn't give me a hot dog. He said he didn't have one. I went up to a car. When I saw that everyone in the car was eating bacon, I flew into a rage. I punched the car as hard as I could. It hurt my hand. I calmed down, and decided to fly. I jumped maybe 5-6 feet. I turned upside down. I hit my head on the ground. It hurt my head. I woke up.

The next lucid I have, I'll probably manage the hot dog one. Making myself explode will be a lot harder. I have to do both to get into the special board, right?
