Task of the month for March 2010

[ninja9578]

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 - Taste a rainbow, tell us what it tastes like. Advanced Task - Fly through a forest of Truffula Trees* Truffula Trees are trees from the story The Lorax by Dr. Seuss.

Hm, I don't seem to like the advanced task again... ah well, shall complete the basic one then!

[Zezarict]

Why are you posting the task here before the actual task section?

[Hukif]

Why are you posting the task here before the actual task section? Oh its always like this, ninja posts the tasks 5 days before the month ends, then when its 1st, its moved, people start doing it!

[ninja9578]

Those who've done the previous months task can do it now and it counts, so you get an extra 5 days to do it.

OMG, OMG, OMG! I love Doctor Suess! <3 I loved those books as a kid! I want my nursery to be Dr. Suess-ish when I get them Both sound fun! YAY! Good ones this month

[Maria92]

I think I'll pass this month, and look to completing some of my own tasks. Sounds fun, though. Good luck, everyone!

[ninja9578]

Have fun everyone.

[BigFan]

Sounds like interesting tasks specifically the basic one, but, can't try any until I can get more lucids

[LucidApprentice]

These sound like some fun tasks. I think I'll try jumping into a Dr. Seuss book, and see how that turns out. Good luck everyone

I am on the Moon with Raven. She asks me if I want to do the Task of The Month. What's that? Eat a rainbow. Wait? Is this TV? Am I in a commercial? No, silly, this is a dream. Oh! Let's go! She grabs my hand. We are in Hawai'i. She says were in Tucson. Okay... Look, a rainbow! Eat it! It tastes like chocolate dipped dried fruit. MM! Now to the Truffula trees! What? Do we eat those? We are supposed to just fly through them. Raven opens a Dr. Suess book. We jump in, and fly through the trees. I eat them. They are crunchy like raw broccoli, but taste like fruit. Raven tells me not to eat them all. I spit out the seeds, and more grow.

[XeL]

Whoa, awesome Nomad O_o! Nice going.

I did the basic task! This is from my this night's dream - and from my first WILD. I found myself in my room again. It was sunny now outside. I pondered on things I could do now. I remembered the basic task of the month – to taste the rainbow. So I flew out from my window, landed, went around the house and saw a faint rainbow forming. I went up and let it flow into my mouth – the rainbow tasted like Skittles! The taste was so rich, I had a hard time pulling myself away from it. But I did, after a while. I mused about what to do next, and then I remembered my dream horses – I wanted to try out their names. I went out onto the street and summoned both of them...

Now to the Truffula trees! What? Do we eat those? We are supposed to just fly through them. Raven opens a Dr. Suess book. We jump in, and fly through the trees. I eat them. They are crunchy like raw broccoli, but taste like fruit. Raven tells me not to eat them all. I spit out the seeds, and more grow. ROFL Nomad, amg! That was too funny!

"So…" I said after Nomad and I were alone on the moon, "Want to do the tasks of the month? I had thought I might do those tonight. Just for shites and giggles." "Shites?" Nomad asked. "Yeah," I said, "Shites and giggles." "Let's do it," Nomad said. I opened a portal to the surface of a planet. I wasn't even sure what planet it was, or it might have been Earth. We were in a lush green meadow. I saw a rainbow in the sky. It arched from over a thick green forest and appeared to end at the far side of the meadow. Nomad and I flew towards it. Surprisingly enough, it didn't move away as we approached it like a normal rainbow does. We reached it. The rainbow was made up of constantly moving particles… and it was flowing into a pot. Looking closer I saw the small fragments were m&m's. The pot was also full of m&m's. Somehow it wasn't overflowing… but then nothing about this situation made sense. We were definitely in a dream world rather than a parallel dimension. I reached out and grabbed some m&m's from the rainbow. I ate them. Yum! Dark chocolate m&m's! Nomad also ate some m&m's. He said there was fruit in there. I hadn't noticed any fruit… Oh, well. I grabbed a few more m&m's. Dream chocolate! Delicious dream chocolate! "The other one involved flying through truffula trees," Nomad said. I wondered where to find those except in a Dr. Suess book… and then I had one. A Dr. Suess book. I opened it and saw a picture of a bunch of the truffula trees. So many colors… trees that looked more like big fluff balls on tree trunks. The book grew in my hands until I dropped it… and then Nomad and I fell through into the forest shown on its pages. So now Nomad and I were flying through the truffula trees. I could see some strange people flying in the trees a short distance off, but they didn't pay any attention to us. Nomad flew over to one of the trees and pulled some of it off. He ate it. I asked him what he was doing. He said it was good… fruity. He ate some more. I looked at a tree and pulled a small bit of fluff off of a red one. I tried it, and it was like raspberry flavored cotton candy. I wondered about finding something that strange and just eating it… oh, well. My dream body wouldn't get poisoned… and this was definitely a dream world. No danger here. So I ate a bit more of it. I looked over and Nomad was stuffing his face. He suddenly stopped. He made some strange faces and then spat seeds out. Where the seeds landed saplings sprouted immediately. Nomad laughed and said he had accidently gotten a seed pod. He spat out a couple more seeds. I tried a bit from a purple tree… and as I had expected, it was grape. A yellow one was pineapple. I had been in this dream a long time… and soon everything around me faded to black and I woke.

AH i forgot to mention!!!! Last week i finished my EXTREME advanced task!!! If you cant remember it was like this: EXTREME Advanced Task - Lucid Dream hehe it wasn't as hard as i thought but i still completed it

[iadr]

Truffula Trees - Flying Through (WILD) I see a forest of truffula trees ahead of me while lucid which when I fly through bend like rubber to let me around them. I go back and forth through the trees as they bend for me.

Truffula Trees - Flying Through (WILD) I see a forest of truffula trees ahead of me while lucid which when I fly through bend like rubber to let me around them. I go back and forth through the trees as they bend for me. Way to come up with a good, unique, creative way to do it!

[the-dragon-whisperer]

I just downloaded the Dream journal 2.5 and it asked me "which of these tasks do you want to complete?" and it shows these tasks! I went like "OMG, the program just copied the site!!" so i checked both, im going for the basic task!

[I_C_U]

Mmmm ... Skittles ... ( DILD ) Length : Medium Vividity : Great I'm at a mall that is common in many dreams I had, I looked around and the place was empty. No one's there. '' This place seems familiar ... '' I thought to myself. I did a nose RC and became LuCiD. I wanted to focus on one of my own tasks, that is going to the moon. But I also wanted to complete one of DVs ToTM. So I went outside. '' Damn, it's noon. '' I looked at the sky, pictured a moon right beside the sun and it did. '' Now how to go there ? '' I looked around. Took out a sniper from my pocket, zoomed in and shot the moon, a rainbow came out instead of a bullet. '' Okay, now to go there. '' I climbed a few steps. Then I slid ontop of it to the moon. The sky became dark gradually. I landed on the moon. '' Great. '' I stood under the rainbow and opened my mouth. It tasted fruity, just like skittles. I didn't move till it faded by itself. I looked at the Earth. It was like a huge blue ball in the sky. Suddenly ., I started to fall. The scenery turned upside down. I looked at the moon once again and it had a face. It was angry. '' Wander now to oblivion ! '' The voice was deep. Everything turned black and I woke up.

I actually remembered! Only remember fragments of this one, but I remember that I was lucid. I saw a landscape in front of me, it was green with clear blue skies and had a giant transparent rainbow. The rainbow looked like beautiful lightly colored glitter suspended in the air. I thought for once to maybe to do the Task of the Month. I flew up to the rainbow and took a bite. It tasted like metal. It even felt like metal. I climbed on top of the clear, metal rainbow and slid down the long arch. Forgot the rest after that. I think I know why it tasted like metal... Spoiler for Ew: A few hours before I went to bed I very badly bit my cheek open, and was bleeding profusely from the mouth. I'm still bleeding from it, and it still tastes like metal in my mouth.

Went for a shot at both the basic and advanced tasks, but only got through the basic task before the lucid ended. First DEILD, and made good use of it! 10.03.2010 47: 3.10.10; 8:15AM Jackrabbit. (DEILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was having a dream (couldn't recall it) and began to wake up from it. Knowing that I'd wanted to have a lucid dream, I forced myself to re-enter the dream by thinking over and over, "go back in the dream, go back in the dream." The dream looked different, but I made it into a lucid dream nonetheless. It started with a vision I had from a great distance of a rabbit in a kind of brown rocky, almost desert-like place, and as I went from my waking stat into the dream, I was pulled into the vision until I was right up next to the rabbit. Now that I was successfully in the lucid dream, I thought of taking control, and became the rabbit, running along a rocky path. I thought of DV's tasks of the month, and intended to complete both, starting with the basic one. While running, I looked in front of me in the distance for a rainbow. After running a ways, a rainbow developed in the distance. I tried to make myself into a human, but stayed a rabbit, and figured I'd be able to travel faster this way anyway. I ran toward the rainbow and watched it get larger as I approached it. I thought in my mind to make myself go really fast to get to the rainbow before I lost a chance to get close to it, and came upon it pretty quickly. As I got close to the rainbow, I opened my rabbit mouth as wide as I could, and lunged through the rainbow to the other side, hoping it would taste like Skittles. Alas, it didn't like anything but a rainbow.
