Task of the month for October 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:
10/07/09 Basic Task Completed!
I completed the basic task for this month! :boogie: Here is an excerpt from that dream! :boogie:
The man glared over at me. "And who do you think you are?" He kicked the dog again. "No one tells me…" kicked the dog… yelp… "how I should…" kicked the dog… yelp… "treat my worthless…" kicked the dog… yelp… "excuse for a mutt!" He finished by kicking the dog… yelp…
I walked right over to the jerk. "Get away from the dog or pay the price," I said.
The man laughed. He kicked the dog again. That did it. I walked right over in front of the man. He stood between me and the dog and glared at me. I thought for a minute. I decided to go with Prototype. Alex Mercer. I used Of Wolf and Man by Metallica to transform my body. I changed my right arm into a razor sharp blade that looked like Alex's. I was close enough to the man that just forming the sword caused it to run him through his middle. He had a shocked look on his face as the blade cut through his flesh. The man had on a white shirt which was rapidly turning crimson now. The man went limp on the blade. He was dead. I pulled my blade out of him and he fell limply to the ground.
Note: I was getting into the dream role I was playing out and I went to partial lucidity...
"What the f**k?" one of the other men questioned as he saw my blade closer. The other people who had been watching the dog fight ran in all directions in a blind panic. Two men didn't leave. They were staring at me. One of them pulled out a gun and started shooting at me. My Witchblade armor blocked the bullets. I walked towards the man who was shooting at me. Blood was still dripping from my blade. The man emptied his pistol and then threw the gun itself at me. He backed away, now he was babbling. "No… please… no…" He backed into a wall and could go no farther. Someone shot me in the back with a shotgun. No effect through my Witchblade armor. I ignored him completely and approached the man who was cowering.
Attempt #2: Basic task complete!!
Finally! :boogie: ..I wasn't sure I was going to get it done this month!!
Not a very exciting way to complete the task,which is a bit of a shame since the rest of the dream was awesome and it was a really long lucid. You can read the rest of it in my DJ in the journal thread. Here's the TOTM-relevant excerpt:
I flew out of the car and saw a girl I went to high school with walking down the street. I decided I'd give the TOTM one more try and maybe try swooping down on her from above. I flew up quite high and then swooped down towards her at high speed while letting out a loud, deep growl. She jumped about a foot in the air and spun around. Mission accomplished! I said 'Sorry to scare you' and she just looked puzzled.
