Thread: Task of the month for January 2010

Excerpt:

We sat down to eat and there were nice wine glasses in front of us. I smiled and then stood. "May I have you attention please." I started. "I recently got a shipment of champagne from France. I would like to share it all with you." I clapped my hands and several servants walked in carrying the champagne. I took the glass that he poured and brought it to my lips. I drank it all down at one. And nearly choked. It was dry, very dry and wasn't very good. I regained my composure and ate. Soon we were dancing again. I was starting to look at Leo a little too much like he was... anyway I decided to leave and Leo came with me.

Hey, WarriorTiger, congrats on a successful WILD and the task of the month completion! :bravo:

It's been a while since I've posted here, but for the last week or so I've been trying to get back into lucid dreaming. Last night I had my first successful attempt:

Somehow I realized I was dreaming…possibly a WILD, but it might have just been a scene change. I flew for a bit and then remembered the lucid tasks. I thought about the advanced one first and turned myself into a black lab. I ran around an expansive field for a bit but found my dog body to be somewhat awkward. I ran over and found my aunt standing by a doorway of sorts, and she scratched behind my ears.

Then, I transformed back into a human and thought about how I might go about drinking champagne. I picked up a glass and drank something that wasn’t champagne, so I put it down and created another glass and told myself that this time it would contain champagne. I picked it up, and indeed, the glass was of champagne.

Rest of the dream:

I was able to complete the basic task. Here is the excerpt:

...This time I am not alone. There is a grand function happening at the mansion. There are people everywhere dressed in tuxes and evening gowns. Everyone here is of advanced age. Then a thought, I can do the TOTM. I look around for some drinks. All I see is an empty high ball glass on a nearby table. That will work. I pick it up and walk over to a small group of partygoers and hand my glass to a small elderly woman. Before I even say anything she smiles and hands the glass back to me only now it is a champagne flute full of champagne. The others hold up their glasses and make a short toast I don't understand. As I go to drink mine I notice that it has changed to a blood red color. I drink it anyway. It does not taste like anything I've ever had. It's indescribable. It's as if I am drinking pure energy. In one instant I feel every cell in my body. I need more. I turn to ask the woman to pour me another glass but it all goes dark and instantly I'm awake...

A flight through Stockholm! (DILD)



NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

So yeah I haven't updated my DJ in some time but I think I'll start doing it more from now on. Starting off with my 26th lucid.

I'm standing with my mom discussing how I should pay the rent for my apartment. I feel very anxious and I think about all the things I have to buy for school. I'm in a store and I'm holding a small pack of stickers. I know I can't afford the stickers but I really want them. Next thing I know I'm at our street, still holding the stickers in my hand. At first I'm like: Wow, I have to go back and back and pay for these stickers. But after some thought I decide to just keep them since noone will know anyway. At this point I start thinking about my environment. Did I just teleport? I look around and see the grocery store across the street. Thats weird I think, there is noone in it. I walk inside and I see that all the shelves are empty and the only thing in there is some mattresses. I walk outside and look at the sky. I then look at my hands... They look normal. I ask a guy passing by if I'm dreaming but he shakes his head. I tell myself to focus and look over at the green peace building close by... What I see instead of the green peace logo, is a fairly small sized black sign with a white fish and some cutlery on it. I become lucid and the clarity of the dream drastically increases (took me long enough lol) and I push my finger through my palm to stabilize. The first thing that comes to mind is flying. I use the three step method and take off. I now notice that the sky and clouds are dark. I feel extremely excited and feel like going on an adventure. I increase my speed and almost fly into some electric wires, but I spin around mid-air and avoid them. I fly over riddarfjärden in stockholm and look down on all the huge dark water masses below. The city is asleep and all I can see is some street lights vaguely illuminating it. At one point I think of trying to summon Misa campo and have sex with her but I quickly got rid off that thought. When I fly over kungsträdgården I see some people sitting around a table. I land and as I do I start thinking about the task of the month. I tell myself that when I walk around the next corner there will be a champagne bottle standing there. Turns out I don't even have to walk around a corner, it's standing right in front of me on the small white plastic table. I grab the bottle and notice thats its half full and is kinda sticky. I turn around and see that the group of people are a bunch of boozers sitting on white plastic chairs. I walk over to them and ask one guy with a beard if I can borrow his wine glass. Sure he replies and I grab the glass. I walk over to the closest trash bin and empty if first. At first I'm afraid that he'll get angry at me for wasting all that booze but then I remind myself that this is a dream and I can easily kick his ass if he would get aggressive. I pour myself a glass and suprisingly it tastes a lot like champage... I should add that I'm not a big fan of champage. Shortly after that the dream fades out and I wake up with a beating heart.

Yay my first Totm completed =)

Hahahaha! I did it! For the first time ever, I did it!

Lucid TOTM Completion (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm sitting at my computer, logged on to Dream Views, when BAM! I become lucid. Realization just sort of hits me like a brick wall. I briefly stabilized the dream, though not as much as I should have. I instantly recalled the Task of the Month: have a sip of sparkling cider (I'm underage). I try to summon a wine flute full of the stuff, but I kept failing (looks like dream control may be a bit harder than I thought). So, after failing to actively make a glass of cider appear, I looked around on my desk. Sure enough, there was already a glass there, filled with semi-warm sparkling cider. It was a tad old, but it still had some fizz to it, as well as some chill. I quickly drained the glass. The fizzy apple juice tasted just like it does in reality. The bubbles danced about my mouth; the cool, sweet liquid poured down my throat.

Great job Mario ! I'm really happy for your first TOTM completion !

Seems like everybody's starting to get the TOTM completed, I gotta get on this! I haven't had a lucid dream in a few nights, in fact I haven't had any dreams in the past few nights, so I'm gonna go take a nap and see if I can have at least a dream. =D

Thanks, man.

So, when do I get the cool orange name and badge?

Does it count as a fail if I didn't even go lucid? The sum of my dream recall from last night is here, but it wasn't lucid, so I didn't get a chance to try anything...

I'm going to attempt both of the tasks. In fact, the advanced task's first part, turning into a dog, was one of the goals I'd told my girlfriend was one of the first things I'd like to try to do when I go lucid and am comfortable with controlling my dreams. I'd like to first try the basic task, then if I can complete that one, I'll try completing the advanced task as well.

This will be yet another first for me: trying to reach a specific goal with a lucid dream. Wish me luck!

Also, taking the idea from a post I saw early in this thread, I'd like to make a real challenge out of the basic task, to have a drink at an event or during a party or something. 'Course, I am underage, so I'll find an event that would have sparkling juice.

Yeah, sorry, it's the Lucid Task of the Month

Do I get another try then, or no? Sorry; I'm new to TotM thing...I don't know all the rules yet

You have the chance to complete the task until the end of the month. Good Luck!

I recently (last week or so) had an amazing dream that lasted for like half an hour and allowed me to do all kinds of stuff I had never been able to do before. This included, 3rd person view, teleporting, telekinesis and.. shape shifting!! As you, the reader of this post, will read shape shifting ended freakishly weird :S

I remembered the task of the month when my perspective suddenly turned to 3rd perspective. It turned out I was some sort of grey/silver cartoony looking sort of character. I had a head bigger than the rest of my body and big black eyes.

If I could do this I would definitely be able to shapeshift too! And I hardly tried or I was a cat (I'm a dog person), I was trying for my friend to make him understand that he should be my owner by acting extremely cat-like (you know how they act.. yuck). He did not understand and thought I was just a friendly cat.

I then attempted to change into a dog (my dog to be exact) but it only succeeded half. What followed was a me in state of half dog half human! REALLY, REALLY weird! I quickly decided to stop this madness and discontinued. It was as if I had created a seperate "living" object I had tried to join with...

Why does it matter if you're underage? It's a dream!

I did the basic and a failed attempt at advanced!

Basic:

When I got in to my LD last night, I was determined to do the task of the month. I tried to do passive control to be able to drink some sparkling juice. I made myself believe that there was a bottle of sparkling cider inside the fridge, so when i opened the door there was a bottle but it was empty. I tried to find a wine tasting place, so i made myself believe there was a vineyard outside my backyard. it worked and I went to the wine tasting building. They wouldnt sell me anything since i was underage (dream character fail!) so I tried to grab the bottle with telekinesis. it flew toward me but i lost control so i did like a mission impossible dive toward it, and it broke but i drank it.


Mission Complete <3

Advanced: I was in a field of wheat, idk why, but i was. this was my second dream. I tried to transform into a dog first, cause dogs are my favorite animals. It didn't work, but a farmer appeared next to me and started talking gibberish. I tried to tell him to shut up but instead a woof came out of me. Suddenly I saw a cat appear in the distance but it transformed into a monster (random, I know) and I woke up.

Mission Fail

I'm going to keep trying to complete Advanced. At least I did basic. :S

Does that include me? I'm not sure if my lucid experience counted, I didn't drink a "glass" of champagne, I drank straight from the bottle, the whole bottle though.

I had that same question, but.... There are my wings!

So it's just drinking the substance indicated, that's all there is to it, in case anyone else wasn't sure.
