      Task of the Month for November 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:

      Basic Task - Do a somersault in the air

      Advanced Task - Hollow yourself out and carve yourself into a jack-o-lantern

      Sorry guys, I should have posted this five days ago, but my Macbook is in for service.

      For the advanced one, you can turn into a pumpkin if you want, but you can just carve your regular human body for some gore and guts And to smartasses: yes, I know Halloween is in October, in fact, it's today

      OMG, you used my basic task .

      OK, here's how it goes. I don't think that I would like to carve myself.

      BUT,

      I would do it if I switched bodies with another dream character and turned "me" into a pumpkin, ready to carve. I'd do a "magic spell" to take all of the guts out, and I'd carve it, to save time and make it creative.

      If you see a strange typo in my post, blame my iPad for that.

      If you "OBE" can you carve your body that you see lying on the bed? It's an image of yourself.

      same here, but they know many people will have a hard time with the advanced task. This makes it more of an accomplishment for those that did do it.

      I was in some desolate bombed-out cityscape. I was all alone. I said, "Fuck this madness! PUMPKIN MAN!" I turned into a giant pumpkin. I was the only colorful thing there. Everything else was just dirty grays. I tried to move, but I could only wiggle around. I grew two arms. I summoned two kitchen knives, and carved a face on myself. I felt like I was doing surgery on my own face. I was completely mad. I scooped my pumpkin guts out of my mouth. I screamed in horror and agony.
      "WHO DID THIS TO ME? WHO DID THIS TO ME?" I screamed at the sky as I grew dozens of tiny robotic spider legs.

      Dark, evil, drum'n'bass music boomed through the city. I shot a web out of my spinners in my pumkin ass, and began web slinging through the city. I grabbed my web with two huge man-arms, as I swung, spinning through the air between slings. BOOM BOOM BOOM WOWOWOWOW BOOM BA BOOM BOOM BOOM WAWAWAWWAWAWWAW
      "WO DID THIS TO ME?" I screamed, grinning madly at nothing.

      I came to woods and a small Dark Ages hamlet at the edge of the city. I sailed through the air landed in the town square. People screamed and ran in terror. I shot them with webs from my hands, and grabbed people. I ate them, and pooped them out, and they were be covered with bright orange soggy pumpkin guts in a daze.

      I grew great green tendrils, and ran through the village out into a forest. There I saw Silverwolf. She was a little black witch. She stepped out of her cottage. Pixy looked at me concerned. "Tell me what I must do, Mother?" I said.
      Silverwolf spoke as if in a trance, "You must let them cook you, love."

      I laughed, and grew in size with each laugh. My tendrils grew longer. I ran to a castle and I banged on the gate with my tendrils. "Let me in, you fools! You must cook me!" Guards looked over the walls.

      "The pumpkin monster!" they cried, and shot arrows at me.
      "That will do nothing. You must cook me!"
      The guards came out and threw a net over me. They put me in a cart with a cage on it, and rolled me into the city. "Kill the demon!" the people chanted. "Kill the monster." They took me out, and tied me to a stake in the city.

      The main streets were cobblestone. All the buildings were stone with thatched roofs. I was grinning at the people as they laid fuel for the fire at my spiderbot feet. "KILL THE MONSTER!" they were chanting. I laughed at them, and my hollow laughter rang through the city.

      "Cook me will you? I do not taste delicious! I will not be made a pie of! I taste like pure power, bitches!"

      They lit flames under me, and I began to cook. My sking began to blister. "Cook me, will you?" I boomed at the townspeople. At that moment, dozens of pumpkins broke haflway or so through the ground. They had big glass eyes that were looking at all the people. Tendrils came out of the ground and grew rapidly toward the people, wrapping around their ankles.

      "PUT OUT THE FIRE! PUT OUT THE FIRE!" they screamed.

      "It's too late, bitches! Now you have to EAT ME! NOW! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

      Just say, "I feel no pain, this is a dream."

      I would say so. I don't really know the difference between a somersault in the air and a flip. I guess with a somersault in the air, you push your hands on imaginary ground?

      ok. i looked up that strange word in the dictionary:

      somersault |ˈsəmərˌsôlt|
      noun
      an acrobatic movement in which a person turns head over heels in the air or on the ground and lands or finishes on their feet.

      --
      that's what i did!

      here's the excerpt from my journal with details on the "somersaulting" part:

      i’m in a music store and some kid walks by carrying a loose guitar string. the string pokes me just beneath my eye and i start yelling at the kid. i go up to the counter and see A. (a friend who now lives far away). some music is playing and i start to move in a circle with my upper body while my feet are in one spot on the floor.

      i realize i’m dreaming and continue my swaying/dancing movement. then i spin around for awhile with my arms holding up the rest of my body. my legs are sort of turning over my head and i do what i think to be break dance moves. i don't seem to have a spine - more like a rotating robotic lower body. i actually get tired, stop and end up on my feet. <--- there ya go.

      some old white guy in a plaid kanga hat is furious that i’m dancing and marches up to me and A. (we’re now in a misty, green yard) and i say “hey guess what!” and grab his hat. i spin it off into the distance and say “this is a dream!” he run’s off to get it
      and goes under a big tree. he starts picking up some round, spiky seed balls and throws them at me. i have his hat again and i block the seeds with it and wake up.
