Task of the month for December 2009

I only completed half of the snowman before I knocked myself out of the dream. Here's the excerpt from my DJ.

..... I decide to try to build a snowman. For that I will need snow. I spin around and try to change to place where there is snow. Nothing happens. I try again trying to picture the place I already am covered in snow. This works.

Everything is white, covered in a deep blanket of snow. Since it doesn't snow enough where I live in RL I decide to build this snowman by hand instead of just summonsing it. I reach down and touch the snow. It is cold in my fingers. I create a ball and start rolling it across the ground. When I get a large enough base I begin to make the second part.

Instead of rolling another ball I decide to try "magically" creating one with the surrounding snow. I point at the ground and start making swirling motions. Snow starts to swirl around at the place I'm pointing at and begins to form the second ball. Suddenly everything starts to go black and I can't stabilize fast enough to save it.

I open my eyes and see my bedroom. I do a couple RCs but it's over.

Hijacking Santa's Sleigh!

I was on the bus in my dream, it was an alternative to my "actual" bus for it was missing, but it goes near my house anyway, so that was my alternative. Somehow, I become lucid.All of the seats were filled up on the bus, but most just had one person in them. Yay, I remembered to do the TOTM, to hyjack Santa's sleigh. I decide to transport through the little rearview mirror of the bus. It didn't work. No worries, I had another plan.I am out of the bus now, and it's odd, because it looks just like it does at a particular area of my high school, I was looking away looking at a neighborhood, and looks just like it does in real life! I also saw the high school's sign. I, purposly, see Santa's sleigh in the sky (thanks for this idea Mario

), so I decide to fly up to it. I have to go rather fast, for the sleigh is speedy! I am just flyin, it turns a bit. Not workin so well! But, it seems my subconsious saw the problem, and crashed the sleigh! I am now by Santa and his sleigh,we are in a warehouse of some sort...though I knew that it wasn't his. It had a tall cieling, and bad looking wood like a barn. There were random objects in it. At first, Santa looked rather happy to see me, but then he could tell that with my magic finger I was gonna "throw" him out. I tried like twice, but to no avail. I try again and Santa goes flyin! I see some presents, and a HUGE present, and with my magic finger I "put" the presents in the big presents without touching them, I throw it out the same way I did with Santa. For whatever reason, Santa comes back in the warehouse, though without the presents, and I aparently had 3 DCs with me. Two looked like 5 foot elves, one normal looking I suppose. I was just standin there, but Santa made those guys go to work, punishment for ruining Christmas I guess, and they didn't do anything, it was my doing

!

Oh, and throughout this dream I had to stabilize it like 4 times so that I wouldn't want to wake up! I am so glad that I was able to complete the TOTM.

Sooooooo close!!! I'm happy that I remembered the task, but I didn't have enough control to actually do it. Excerpt:

I freaked and climbed up onto this flimsy tree, but somehow it was enough for him to stop his car, so he got out and started climbing after me. I jumped to a new, sturdier tree and so did he. He had no problems in keeping up.

I jumped out of the tree and started running away and he caught up to me. I turned around and I was running backwards and I shot bolts out of my hands at him.

And with that thought, I was lucid. I remembered there was something else I wanted to do with my hands while I was lucid. A power? No. I was still running. I looked at all the snow around me. Oh right! A snowman! I need to make a snowman!

I stopped and the DC didn’t pursue me any longer. I started trying to form the base, but the snow was soft and not packing. I hovered my hands over the snow and thought, “I can emanate heat from my hands, make the snow more moist and then it’ll pack.” It didn’t work. “Water!” I thought. “I need water!!”

Why I didn’t just produce water off my hands, I don’t know, because that disintegrated the dream, and I didn’t get to make the snowman. I tried to chain back in, but by this point, I’d been asleep 9 hours and had already woke up twice.
