Thread: Task of the month for September 2009

I had my first WILD last night, I'm just inches away from being able to do the task! I'm planning on doing the second, because I don't like any of my teachers.

Johnny the Nameless: Interesting connection, and I can't speak for the others, but my childhood home is an extremely common scene for my dreams (I'd say about 1/4th of them take place there at least part of the time)

In other news, I managed to complete both the basic and advanced tasks in one (very long) dream! For this month the failures were definitely more interesting than the successes, though...

Magnolia (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

3:30 - 4:45 a.m. (1 hr 15 min)

ATTEMPT #2: FAILURE
...
Eventually I remember the DreamViews task of the month of causing leaves to fall off a tree and reappear. So I spin a new scene, just wanting anywhere with a foliated tree.

I end up just outside the building I was just in, and it's cloudy and dark. There are still many people around, as I am near a courtyard or pavilion where people come to eat lunch. Luckily, there happen to be a few scraggly trees around (obviously planted by the maintainance staff). However, once again my eye catches the sight of a pretty girl sitting down and eating lunch at a table. I can't resist going over to talk to her (which eventually leads to kissing) before I start. Finally, I gather an audience to witness the amazing feat I'm about to perform. When they're all watching with rapt attention, I make an elaborate "sprinkling" motion with my fingers, bidding the leaves on the tree to fall. Unfortunately, not a single leaf falls. The crowd laughs caustically and begins to disperse, disappointed. I desperately call them back, promising that the last time was a fluke, that I can get it to work this time. Some people stick around to watch me make a fool of myself again. They are right; when I try the second time, in the moment when my gaze is slightly off the tree, all the leaves turn into porcelain cups and plates. When I make the motion for the "leaves" to fall, then, all the china falls to the ground, crashes, and breaks! Everyone laughs even harder this time.
...

ATTEMPT #3: SUCCESS! (though less interesting than attempt #2!)
...
While they're occupied, I go back to the lower level of the harbor, and, upon seeing a small Magnolia tree, decide to once again try the DV task of the month. Slowly and carefully this time I make hand motions like a conductor of an orchestra, signaling the tree to shed its glossy leaves. To my delight, this works perfectly. When they are all on the ground, I get them to attach in the same careful, coordinated manner.
...

BASIC TASK ATTEMPT #1: SUCCESS

...
But then the scene shifts to a desk/office area indoors. Kayla's sitting at the desk when I approach and sit down at her side. I take out an apple which I've already eaten about 80% of (mainly just the core remains). Regardless, I give this to her sincerely. I spin it around a few times with my finger, then apologize to her about the state it's in. Before I can see her reaction, I force myself to awaken so I can write this all down without forgetting it.

Nicely done sir

Thanks. I think they stayed green due to the fact that I am from Hawaii! haha

OOo! I'll try em both! Depending on where I am in my next lucid. The leave one sounds VERY similar to something I've done before. Breaking glass, then putting it back, so I think that I should be able to do that one.

So, when do I get in the club? I did last month's one and this one also, but I didn't get access yet. I guess you forgot. No big deal, but I have some cool ideas for next month's task.

I've tried, but I failed. But I didn't realised I failed until I woke up.

I was walking down the street, I don't remember why, but I met a friend of mine who in the past had helped me a lot with school. So she was a kind of a teacher to me. When I saw her immediatly I thought about the task of the month. So I went to her and said: "I've got this for you." I put my hand in my pocket and a whole pizza came out. We ate the pizza together. And I was exited because I had completed my first task of the month.

After that my alarm woke me. I was a bit dissapointed to discover I didn't do the task right. So now I'll be trying tonight again. But the pizza was good

can I use time travel to stop myself from making the leaves fall?

also, what do you mean by special badge an stuff?

Ahhh I've been having such a bad dry spell. Wish me luck...imma try the TOTM to try to get back on track!

Aaaah, gosh! I had a lucid dream the other night and I tried to make the leaves fall off the trees, but I couldn't even make a tree appear. Just an evergreen one, and it was nothing but a shadow.

Sorry about the delay, we require The Dishwasher to fix something in the admin panel.

No worries. It's a free site, right? Mahalo!

Not even close, but wanted to post... Posted in Dream Journal also.

I was in & out of sleep because my DH was having a rough night last night. I woke up a bit and tried to stay concious. I felt the SP come over me and I got really excited. I remembered that I'm supposed to rub my hands together to stay lucid & it worked like a charm! I fought hard to stay lucid, and immediately thought as soon as I attain it, I'll go outside, find an apple tree, make my neighbor appear outside (she's a teacher... makes it a little easier!), give her the apple & make the leaves fall off & go back. Then I could work on whatever else I wanted to do. This was my plan, but couldn't quite reach it because of the constant movement/snoring from DH. I really was mad at him and got in the floor to hopefully continue, but it never came again. It wasn't until I finally got up this morning that I realized he was more than likely the reason I was able to have SP last night anyway, and I shouldn't have been mad. Of course, he has no clue that I was mad at him, so I don't feel too bad!

Tonight's another night.

I just had, like, half a dozen LD, so I have a faliure and a sucess to share.

In one LD, I was outside a house, then I saw a little tree. I snapped my fingers and a dozen or so DCs showed up, I like the company. I made the little tree grow with my hands, and it got really big. But, then it turned into a pine tree, and I tried to move my hands to make the non existent leaves fall, but instead, the branches on the first level tilted down.

I was in a nature area, and I tried to take the leaves down with my hand movements on a tree, but it didn't work, at first. Then, just with my mind, they all came down in a nice pile. Then, I put them back on the tree with my arm movements.

Complete dream in my Dream Journal if you want to read the rest of the cool stuff ..


I put the cat on my shoulder and looked up at the trees, when I remembered the Task of the Month. I decided I was going to make the leaves fall off and go back up. I chose a tall tree with lots of leaves. It looked like a maple tree with the leaves in full fall color, oranges and yellows. I made a breeze blow up just by thinking about it. I waved my hands around in front of the tree, sort of like 'jazz hands'and the leaves all fell off and drifted to the ground. Then I created another breeze, waved my hands from the ground to the tree, and the leaves went back up and settled back onto the branches. So cool!

Nice job you two. I've decided that whoever finishes this month's task will also get access to the task club next month assuming that admin panel is fixed by then.

Cool..thanks!

This seems like some pretty cool tasks. But it's come to my attention that my user name is still orange when I haven't completed any of the tasks yet. I would appreciate if someone turned it back to normal

Shhhh....you're not supposed to tell them that...

I've been trying and trying VERY hard to do the advanced task... But I'm a new lucid dreamer, so I settled for the first one last night. It turned out pretty entertaining.

It started out, I was lying in bed, and my old camp counselor was sitting next to me. It started to rain. I asked him, "Why the hell is it raining? Wait... Where am I?"
He said, "How should I know that? It's your dream."
Yeah... I am dreaming! Anything camp-related is my dreamsign, so I must be dreaming! Yay!
I tried to make the rain stop, but failed, maybe because my lucidity wasn't strong enough. Instead, I ended up in a false awakening. I thought to myself, Oh well. Maybe if I go back to sleep quickly enough, I can have another dream!

And so, I retained lucidity.

I closed my eyes, chose a random picture, and ordered it to stop. I ordered myself to be sucked into it ("COME TO ME!!!") and landed in a castle. I flew around for a while, then noticed a random SWAT team sitting around, doing nothing, so I ordered them to find me an apple. Find me an apple they did.

"And it is the world's FAVORITE apple!" They exclaimed, "It is a GOLDEN DELICIOUS apple!"

It was, in fact, a red delicious apple, and it was partially eaten.

"Oh, c'mon guys, that was for my teacher." I grumbled and took the apple.

I found a random teacher and a random professor walking up to me. The teacher was female, vaguely African-American, and the professor looked like slartibartfast from the BBC version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I gave the partially eaten apple to the teacher.

She gasped in marvel.

"Oh my god, this is my favorite apple of the-"

I woke up. For real this time.

Woohoo Goldenheart!!

Hope to see you on the Lucid Task club thread. I'm excited to get some ideas going for next month!
