Thread: Task of the year for 2010

Awesome! I'm definitely going to try.

Now I actually have time to finish it XD

I think I'm going to try my hand at this, as one of my New Year's resolutions. The gladiator fight will be my favorite.

Oh, and don't you mean Red Sea?

No, the Red Sea is huge and doesn't have tidal lows like the Reed Sea. Scientific evidence (as well as ancient Hebrew translations) say that Moses crossed the Reed Sea

Heh, at first I thought you were just joking. Well, you learn something new every day.

The 1969 one is definitely my favorite. This task is really cool, I can't wait to get started!

I'm going to try Neil Armstrong's tonight. I'm gonna push him down, and step on his back and scream "HAHA ladies first, sucka!!". If all goes smoothly, I'll make a documentary about it and make a Warner brothers film. Wish me luck!!

This might help clear up some confusion. http://www.gnmagazine.org/issues/gn1...rchaeology.htm It seems up for debate, but it seems more likely that it is red sea. Either way, it is still a great miracle from God that he parted the waters and then drowned the Egyptians that were chasing the Israelites. If it was the reed sea, it would still be an awesome miracle; because that would mean that God drowned the Egyptians in a few inches of water.

This sounds incredibly awesome!

I will go in my TARDIS!

I do keep a dream journal, but i do not keep it here on dreamviews. It would be a real pain to copy all of my dreams down twice. So is it ok for me to participate in the TOTY or TOTM? If it is ok, i was wondering if we could VILD or V-WILD to the past or future (depending on which TOTY goal we're doing)? Or do we have to travel to the specified time and setting within the dream, like with a time machine?

I'm going to ride the asteroid into the earth hahahahha

And im gonna stop you

that was fun. i finish all the tasks but mantaining lucidity was a bit hard. let me give you some high lights. when moses parted the red sea i walked throught it with him then in the rome i beat the fighter and then did high fives all around. also i got in a fight with armstrong and the end of the world was god beating the hell out of the devil. all of this was fun and took a while but i may want to do it again

Oh, and What??Me??, mad props for the Belldandy sig. Nice!

Thank you, guys. I agree with Yoshi, yes. Good tasks, though at times terrifying.

Looking forward to reading these dreams.

Actually, it looks like hominins as early as homo ergastor and homo erectus controlled and made fire, long before modern humans came along.

But yeah, I'm pretty excited about this task. Gonna build me a time machine.

ohhhh I had no idea there was a yearly task now. This one definitely sounds exciting!

So we're not doing the orange and title thingy for those that complete Task of the Year this year?

I'm intrigued for doing this.... But I'm just not so sure I want throw my hat into the ring! XP I've done my first two basic totms, and did my first advanced task. Completing both the basic and advanced for March was pretty sweet and actually unexpected for me, but I just couldn't help myself.

But, should I attempt the TOTY?



....
....
....(thinks about this)

Screw it, I'm in. TOTY, here I come!!

Man I'm am really going to go for it this year. I've tried lucid dreaming three times before but now me, my bro and two friends are all doing it together. Hopefully I stick with it this time and complete this goal.

Yeah! Completed another one!
Lately, I have been forgetting to do tasks in a dream, but last night I remembered, and gave it a shot. So here's the dream.

Dream Side Comments

I had an FA after waking up from a dream.I looked around my house and saw my room, exactly as it is. Before I went to bed, I told to myself, if I am in an FA, I will remember to do the TotY. Thats why I realize I have to do this task. I exit my house through the window, and start to fly, by shape shifting and growing a pair of wings. I fly low, for the fear of losing lucidity, and do some clarification techniques along the way. Now that my vision is perfectly clear, I concentrate on boosting my speed. I somehow fly to Rome, and see a normal church, nothing special. I am not a Christian, but I think, What the heck, it's just a dream! So I go in through the door, and start looking for DCs who can tell me where the Holy Grail is supposed to be. I encounter some weird DCs, , but then I finally find an old man all dressed up like he was the leader there. So I go to him, and ask him, "Excuse me, but could you tell me where the Holy Grail is?" He says, "The quest for the Holy Grail is an index of the most complicated plots co-occurring within a series of brilliant minds combined to form a particulate of moisture." This is an exact quote. I reply, 'That doesn't even make sense!" He replies, " A bear must be bound before it can swim, so be it." "But that doesn't make sense either! Can't you at least point to where it is?" He point to a perfectly normal wall, and says, "What appears is not what it is." Finally, something sensible. I say thanks and run up to the wall, and start tapping it. It sound like it is not solid, but there something behind it, like a passage. So I look in my pocket, and find a grenade (what??) and place it near the wall and wait for it to blow up the wall. Somehow I didn't run away, and the blast didn't even hurt me. I see a dark passageway, lit only by flaming torches. I follow the passage way to a door and upon opening it, I see and even older room, which is lit only by a single torch. I cross over to the other side, and see something like a safe in the wall. There was a notice on the wall beside it, reading "The key is hidden in this sentence, "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. Enough with stupid quotes! I look in my pocket again, and take out a laser pen, the type you see in movies that can cut a safe by a laser beam. After a long and tiring search for batteries in the old room, I finally locate them in a small but visible hole in the ground. At last, I turn on the damn thing, and bust my way through the safe. Now I see a glass cup, something like a trophy, with the words HOLY GRAEL engraved on the bottom, and enclosed in a thin glass case. i carefully smash the glass case, and somehow, there is a bottle of fresh and cold water beside it now. I hurriedly put the water in the grail, and drink from it. What a refreshing.....poof! fall onto the ground, unconscious. Thats the last thing I remember of the dream. Well, completed the TotY, but didn't get to enjoy the drink after all the hard work I put in.

Thats two tasks completed, the crusade one and the end of the world. 2 down,.........uh.....SIX to go?

Ok, I'm pretty good a LD's now. I will try these. Do I report back to this tread?

I compleated part of the Task of the Year!!!

Eldraziking187
2120 something

My first task of the year is complete. I had a day off work so I decided to WILD. I woke up to my alarm going off at about 5:30am and got up to use the bathroom. I also read a couple of pages in my copy of a lucid dreaming book and went back to sleep about 20 mins later. As I drifted, I began to feel that familar feeling of dozing right back into REM. The visuals are amazing, almost like tuning into a TV station that starts as static but become clear in seconds. I didn't need to induce lucidity as I started the dream already knowing that I was asleep. Things cleared up once I started rubbing my hands and I noticed that the scene around me looked like something from the early Roman empire. The street was paved of tan cobble stones and the buildings kinda matched. I heard something behind me so I turned and I saw people entering a large building that was made of metal and had strange lights glowing around it. I asked one of the people walking toward it, what is inside? He told me I would have to wait to find out. I did not like the answer he gave me and I became frustrated. I consintrated on the next person and when they looked at me, to my surprise he looked identical to the last guy. I asked again, whats in there?
This time the man said "it's a ship". WHAT?! I ran for the "ship" and peeked in the huge entrace way where people were crowding to jam inside. There were balconies and giant picture screens along every wall and the crowd was frantic. I went inside and started asking people why they were so upset and why we were in this place. Before I could get a logical answer from them, the doors slamed shut and the entire structure started shaking. I felt like I was on one of those sim rides at Universal or something. So, I ran to the edge of the room toward an opening that I did not notice before and looked out/down. We were high above the earth and moving fast. I closed my eyes for a second and we were landed. When we came out we were in a futuristic setting, not a city just a community of strangly dressed long skinny people. One of them was walking with a crowd and he looked back and jestured for me to follow him. I looked down at myself and I was one of them, that felt weird. I looked at my hands and they were moving in a strange way like they were robot hands, twisting and bending at the joint, they were also twitching like haing a spasm like never before. I ignored that and followed. We entered a small room at the corner of a building and walked up a large flight of stairs. On the way up I asked the guy his name. He said his name was Carl and that I had travled into the future 962 years. At that point I remebered that I had some tasks to do and I figured this would be a good time to start. I asked him what year it was and he said twenty one twenty urrrggghhh. I asked again and could still not understand him. I asked if he knew how the world ended and he showed me to another room with a small screen on the wall. These rooms did not look like they belonged in the future. They looked like acient ruins made of stone with a couple of futuristic things here and there. I sat in front of the screen and his small fingers came by my face and pushed a button on my sholder. The screen came on and the picture showed people getting into ships just like the one I had rode in. They flew off and the world started to melt down right in front of me. The ocean dried up and comets started to crash onto the Earths surface. Magna and flames started shooting out like geysers violently and I felt the heat. I looked around and started to notice that I was not watching on a screen anymore, I was there! The sky turned dark green and opened. A huge monster sqeezed through and was now treading towards me. He was all black like a shadow and was the size of a skyscraper. I flew away. I remember the monster was walking like bigfoot. That all I can recall.

The pic is a good referance to the ship, just more domed and real big. Like the size of the Superdome, huge!

The sight of the Earth from space was, as usual, a magnificent sight. The continents were nothing like I am used to seeing them today, though. All of the continents were merged into one huge continent, known as Pangea. I could just imagine the dinosaurs roaming on the huge continent down there through the thick forests and savannas and… that was when I noticed the asteroid approaching. It was really quite close to the planet, moving through space at a quick pace.

The asteroid plunged through the atmosphere of the Earth and created a huge explosion on the surface that seemed to make a hole in the atmosphere itself, sending a wall of dust and debris up in all directions from the point of impact. My first thought would have been to destroy the asteroid before it hit the planet, but the spectacle of the impact was really something, too. We lingered only a short time longer before I opened a portal and we flew through it into the Delta Quadrant, into the area of space where we would find Voyager.

I'm new to lucid dreaming, but I hope i can find a way to participate in a gladiator fight!

mmm, it needs some images for inspiration ! =P
I'm going to do it !
