Task of the month for October 2009

**ninja9578** · 09-26-2009 12:50 AM

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 - Scare a dream character

Advanced Task - Ask a ghost when, where, and how they died

Have fun

Everyone who completely September's task will have access to the totm club for the entirety of October as well because of the problems that we had.

Uh. I think that I'll do the basic this time. I have no intentions of ever seeing a ghost in my dreams. That would freak me out!

**BossBadger** · 09-26-2009 02:12 AM

Good ones, ninja. Looking forward to trying them out!

**lucidreamsavy** · 09-26-2009 03:36 PM

Actually, I may do the advanced one. I can summon Casper the friendly ghost! He shouldn't scare me!

**ninja9578** · 09-26-2009 09:43 PM

Maybe I'll scare someone to death and talk to them after thy've died, kill both birds with one stone.

This is gonna be fun, I haven't done any tasks for a while now

**lucidreamsavy** · 09-28-2009 12:37 AM

Why do I already have a badge for this task?

Scratch that, I just read that Man of Steel made them. But I noticed that I'm the only one who has it. Why?

**ninja9578** · 09-28-2009 12:49 AM

Oh, ok. And, right.

**BossBadger** · 09-29-2009 06:52 PM

Is it okay to get an early start? Because I tried one of the tasks today. Unfortunately failed, my DC's are hard to scare! At least I broke my little lucid dry spell, though. Will relay the dream here if it's not too early..

**ninja9578** · 10-02-2009 12:15 AM

Here you go huddled masses, have fun.

**tkdyo** · 10-02-2009 04:13 AM

FIRST ATTEMPT: Unsuccessful

The entire dream is on my dreamjournal, just excerpted the pertinent parts.

I decided to try one of the Tasks of the Month and scare a DC. I imagined someone in the shower and snuck up and pulled the curtain back really fast and yelled 'BOO!'. But there was nobody there.

I flew out the window and was on an unfamiliar street. It was quite sunny and there were several houses that looked sort of like townhomes..the whole street was on a hill. I saw a guy standing on one of the balconies and thought the sight of me flying around would scare him, so I flew over and said 'I AM A GHOST!!' and he just stood there. I said 'Aren't you scared?' and he said 'Nah, you have to do better than that'. Damn it!

**Guinevere** · 10-02-2009 08:01 AM

No, ghosts aren't scary and "BOO!" is just childish. I'm going to imagine I'm a vampire (yes I've been transformed, against my will, into a vampire in a dream once) and roar at them. My dream voice is usually louder and more confident than my real voice so I'm fairly confident I'll scare the living daylights out of them. =P

Or you could just threaten them with death, or actually try to kill them. I reckon actions are scarier than talk.

**blue water** · 10-03-2009 10:01 AM

ARGH! I checked the dream challenges before I left for the weekend and read the wrong month challendge (or this one wasn´t up yet) so when I though I actually did it last night I did the previous month :C no badge for meee.
Oh well, atleast I had a pretty cool dream with a beautiful landscape stormy mountain with lone, leafless tree on top of it and me giving apple to a friend who has taught me quite a bit of things! While an army of primitive humans made their way towards us! awesome. will update my dream journal with full dream asap. I guess I will have to try this new challendge now then :/

Dark Elf Adventure
Fragment
The four of us were on some Outer Lands adventure that Q had concocted for fun and practice, so we couldn't get hurt. We were all Dark Elves. We had dark skin, like coal with a purple tint, yellow slanted eyes, small fangs, and black hair. We were riding on horses through a forest at night. I was wielding the staff that was created with the stone we stole from the Vampires, softly glowing blue-white in the darkness. I had a sword on my hip.
"Am I Gandalf?" I thought, confused. I saw Selene on my right firing white arrows at unseen enemies behind us.
Raven and Spike both had swords and shields.
"What's with the Gauntlet archetypes?" I thought amused.

missing time
I was standing on the forest floor, waiting the approach of the enemies pursuing us, humans wearing the armor of crusaders. They had large red crosses on their breastplates. I slammed my staff on the ground, and moonlight burst from the stone as the enemies approached. The horses spooked, and some of the riders got thrown off their horses. The ones that fell stood up and charged me, while the ones on horseback pursued my friends. I drew my sword, whirling, thrusting and shooting bolts of moonlight at my enemies.T(his is the entire dream.)

missing time
We rode to a great dark castle. Bats were flying in and out of it. "Ah, the Castle of the Dark Elves," I thought with a grim delight.
Note: the Dark Elf deams disturbed me, as if I was reliving a past life.

You scared horsies

**slash112** · 10-04-2009 01:59 PM

I really do not know if this counts or not.

Last night, I became lucid (DILD), how I became lucid was interesting, but thats a whole other story.

A dream character I happened to be with before I became lucid stayed with me while I was lucid. I told him I was dreaming, and then I showed him my hand, to prove to him. And he was freaked out by it and took a step back in shock.

I dont know if you would count freaked out as scared so...
