Thread: Task of the Month for November 2009

Lol mine was perfect timing,
I had my third Lucid Dream, and I started flying and did some flips, then landed on the ground. Later that day I read the task of the month and BAM! yup, I completed the basic task of the month, without knowing it was the basic task of the month.

One thing I want to get into in dreams is making food for people, engaging the taste and smell sense in the brain. I did it once. It was cool.

That is badass.

I think I can do the basic one. I might try the advanced task, though, I have problems with feeling pain in my dream. This might help me get over it.

Had a lucid dream last night where I was flying, or maybe it was more like floating. I was going through the air pretty slowly and I somersaulted in the air. I kept my eyes open and watched everything around me as I flipped. It was fun.

I was in a LD this morning, and remembered to do the basic task. I flew up a little, then spun around in a somersault. It was so fun!

I was lucky this morning, I had another LD, so I decided to complete the advanced task. I switched bodies with a DC so I wasn't "me", then it didn't really seem to be "me", so I changed somebody into "me" and we started talking how I do, it was very fun to have someone that talks like me to talk to! Then I changed me into a pumpkin. It was a very large pumpkin, and had a slight white tinge to it. Then, with my "magic finger" I cut off the top, and took out the guts the same way. All a very fast process. Then, I turned my back, and cut the jack o lantern's face out. I turn around and it looks rather intracit. It was like a house, with a jack o lantern's face in it. The other side of it had the same cutout.

I'll try to take both.

Basic:Go to the moon and jump high in the low gravity and i should be able to do it
Advanced:Hmmmmmm...Get a knife,a full body mirror and see what i can do.

lets hope i can get lucid...

Flips are easy...well not that easy, Thats my general take of mode from high places, wither the dive and swoop or the multi somersault swoop.

Why would I want to be a pumpkin?

I tried that last night. My psyche doesn't seem to like turning into something else. I can move into the pumkin and examine it from every angle but cant seem to become a pumpkin. Weird.


Interesting experiment.

I can't do either of them. Grr. I think I will focus on the somersault tonight when I am lucid... at least I hope I will be lucid. I might try the pumpkin one, I am now confident in my abilities to turn into a pumpkin using passive control.

Okay, everyone should be cought up in a little bit.

Okay the first time I tried to succeed a task of the month and post a dream in this forum!

Below follows a copy of my dream journal entry for the night from 13 November to 14 November.

For your convenience I made the lucid part dark dark red and the basic task of the month task dark green!

13/14-11-09
I was bicycling through Amsterdam and figured I could go and grab a beer. I saw this bar and to my surprise I also saw two friends of me; Moos and Jeroen. I went in and Moos kept being unbelievably annoying (which is something completely unlike him, or any of my friends for that matter). I warned him so many times and at one point I decided the only way out was to just ignore him but then he poured this drink all over me and I just lost it. In a dozen or so hits I hit him out of the bar, I was surprised by how powerful my hits were, he did not come back after this even though I had prevously used physical force to try and stop him as he had done so as well in his succesful attempts to annoy me.

But now Jeroen was incredibly pissed at me for doing this. We got in a fight and luckily I could continually block his hits. But the guy just wouldn't give up! Then Mirjam joins and she had shaven her head (WTD?!), she is also pissed at me for the same reason.

The bar tender who was joining the conversation troughout the whole dream so far now also picked their sides. I kept to try and explain how this wasn't my fault and why I had beaten the crap out of Moos but I realized this wasn't going to work this way. So I said I'd leave, when I got outside I saw my saddle of my bicycle had been sawn or cut off! I thought this to be unbelievably low and could hardly believe it! No way I could get home easily now, and I would have to buy a new saddle while I'm too low on cash.

So I reality checked but my hands looked okay. Jeroen stepped by and handed over my keys he had stolen, laughed at me and walked away. He answered positively when I asked him if they, or Moos, had done this. Thinking again how screwed up this was, friends driven apart and my bicycle like this I decided to reality check again but again my hands looked okay. I looked around and thought this could not possibly be a dream but it was so screwed up I decided to go trough all reality checks I knew because I couldn't possibly believe real life would be so fucked up either!

When I pinched my nose I could breath through it and I was extremely relieved! LUCID! I jumped on the bike and I wanted to do something awesome. As if it was a BMX I did a couple of wall rides and jumped on a couple of cars that were on my way etc.

Realizing the task of the month was to do a somersault in the air I just did that. Halfway through I realized it wasn't going well enough so I perhaps cheated a bit by using my flying powers to land okay. Wondering about if this was going to cut itI met this, or rather heard this talking out loud, women with orange hair who was talking about how life would be with a lexicon of 600 000 words. I got in a discussion with her and she also mentions how new proverbs are awesome, she gave a weird comparison as an example of an, in my eyes lames, example of a proverb. She explained the meaning of it even worse than the example she gave me. When I noticed there was another bicycler with us I noticed it was my old friend Leon! Thinking the advanced dream task was to have a dream character do a somersault I just asked him to do so.

But during all of this time I was doing more stuff (the lady wasn't that interesting and my dream control is mostly limited to flying only so I tried out a couple of tricks) such as checking my cellphone to see if I could enable some cool stuff there and things like that. Some member on dreamviews said I should wish for what I wanted, and after I saw my cellphone was mostly regular I wished for something I can hardly remember. I closed my eyes and as soon as I did I realized I had just woken up!

Hi,

I tried the task of the month last night for the first time.

I had 4 WILD's last night.

After my first WILD I woke up. I was then hit almost immediately by SP - I felt my body vibrating and shaking like crazy. I felt myself float up and away. I was blind at first but then requested vision. The scene of my bedroom rendered and I flew out my bedroom window, over the yard and down the road. It was night time / dawn and there was no-one else around so I decided to try the task of the month for the very first time.

I landed in the road and first tried doing a few stupid things like hopping and jumping (I normally fly everywhere - why walk/run when you can fly right?). The I went for the summersalt. It was lazy and slow like - but I jumped up really high (about 10 feet) and dip a slow backwards flip and landed on my feet.

I finished the TOTM a week ago, am I going to get a new TOTM badge, or can it be taken off? What's the update with the badges, they were working last month, obviously.

My computer died so I didn't have my Photoshop files. I'll make them soon.

I accomplished the basic task.

Using WBTB, I had a WILD. The first thing I did after rolling up the windowshade for light was a somersault in the air, as per the monthly task. There were some random people in my room. I exploded their heads off their bodies, but somehow it wasn't satisfying. Everything was fuzzy and vague. I tried to focus, but there wasn't anything interesting enough to focus on.

I tried the advanced task, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

I was at my school. It was late summer and the campus was not the same.

An unusual group had begun to live there. They were a bunch of tough guys, generally about 30 to 40 years old, seemingly from the 18th-19th century, all speaking in upper-class British accents. They had perfected an unusual martial discipline.

They would fry eggs, and when they flipped the eggs, they would do things during that instant. Over time, they would be able to do more and more in that instant, until they gained superhuman speed and strength. Fortunately, they were generally friendly.

I began to suspect I was lucid, but for some reason, I couldn't just acknowledge it, I had to become lucid within the context of the dream-story. I asked the leader of the strongmen how they were capable of such impressive feats, and as I suspected, he replied that it was because life was a dream. I then was able to agree with him, and I told him I knew it because I could use telekinesis.

After I demonstrated on a nearby object, he was very interested in how I did it. I explained it as best I could (which was, surprisingly, about as well as I'd be able to while awake), and he seemed to accept it, though he didn't try it himself.

This helped me to remember the advanced task of the month. Shapeshifting is not something I can really do, so I just asked the group leader to lend me his knife. He drew an ordinary steak knife from a sheath somewhere, and wordlessly handed it to me. I started to cut myself, but I could not bring myself to slice deeply. I decided to ask him for his infinitely sharp knife, and after a moment's hesitation, he removed a superthin blade from a hiding place within his hat. I was unable to bring myself to use that either, so I lost lucidity, and went to get ice cream.

I haven't had a lucid dream in, like, a year. Literally.

I really need to work on my lucid dreaming. I can't do well!

Cant people just lie just to get the orange name and stuff?

Nothing's stopping them. But really, if they care that much, they can have their colored name and animated gif. Their lie will be on their conscience FOREVER.

Why do I always check the task of the month at the very end of the month?

Actually, the staff makes sure people are telling the truth first.

Really? As far as I know, we just hope you're telling the truth. Besides, why lie? There's really no point.

What? You mean the staff doesn't screen the posts for lies??
