Task of the month for March 2010

Well, I can't help but think of technicalities on them.... I might be nitpicking, but I didn't taste anything from the rainbow like others have reported (unless air is a flavour!). I hoped it'd taste like Skittles, but it wasn't to be....

It's my time to shine. :shadewink:

Advanced one sounds creepy, but I'll let you know how the rainbow tastes tomorrow. :)

I still want to try and walk to the city on the other side of the bridge on DV's main page. it still haunts me! Whats over there?!
And as stated before the rainbow will probably taste like skittles. Will try this tonight and make it taste like something else!

:shock: That sucks. >.>

I wonder why there haven't been any updates regarding those who've completed the task(s)....? No one has an orange name that I've seen complete this month's task, at least not since maybe page 1 of the topic.

Tbh, I am too... I finally got one done, and March will be over before I get an orange name :(

Well, last month it seemed to take about a month for people to lose their color as well... Unless they completed it in the hidden board, in which case disregard that.

I've not completed the tasks yet :(
I'll keep trying though.

[deleted, found the answer]

Completed the basic task!

Spoiler for Taste the Rainbow:

I stood at the edge of a lake. In the distance, both in front and behind me, where mountains capped in snow. The landscape beyond the lake was mostly dry, flat ground with shrubbery and trees every here and there. To me, though, it looked beautiful. I wanted to fly over the lake and all the way past the mountains, but decided against it. I turned to look around behind me again. There was one very large building about a half mile away, standing alone. Closer to me were a handful of other buildings and small houses. I ran up to the houses, peering into the open door of the first one I saw. There seemed to only be a front room and a back room, both empty. In the back room, There was a long, pink dress hanging alone. I pulled off my clothes and slipped the dress on.

The next thing I knew, I was riding shotgun in a car. There were three guys with me, none I really knew. We were driving through a suburban neighborhood, on a narrow road in between gated communities. I noticed that the sun was reflecting on the walls along the road, forming rainbows. Suddenly I remembered the task of the month. I shouted at the guy to stop the car before we passed the first rainbow. I said it was extremely important that I go eat that rainbow. He looked at me like I was crazy and refused to pull over. Just when I was afraid I'd missed my chance and the rainbow was long gone, another appeared in front of us. I yelled to stop the car again, and again he refused. We passed by it. I started considering jumping out of the car. What would be better, opening the door or going through the window. A third rainbow appeared. When the driver refused to stop once more, I jumped through the window and landed right next to the rainbow. I didn't see if they had bothered to stop or not. I grabbed the rainbow, curling it up and bit into it like a rope, trying to get all the colors in my mouth at the same time. Mmmm...tangy. Not like skittles, though. I couldn't place the exact flavor, but maybe that was because it was all the colors at once. The rainbow seemed to be too tough to bite off, so I let go, and it sprung back into place like a spider's web. I peeled away the red from the rest of the bands, this time tasting it alone to see if it had a different flavor than all of them. It seemed to have the same taste. It reminded me of those sour belts you get at the candy store. I woke up then (must have been the jerks in the car).

FINALLY. TOTM completion! And, the advanced one!

Check it out:

Though it is long, this is the TOTM part:

After a bit, I remember the TOTM! YAY! The advanced one, to fly through truffala trees. So, I get up, and stand in the front of the room, and ask if anyone has a Dr. Suess book, the one with trufulla trees in it. One person hands me a Dr. Suess books, but it's the foot one! Someone else then gives me the suitable one. I go through it to see which picture in the book I want to teleport to. I find the right page, for some reason I wanted this page . There were the trees in it, but part of it looked kinda dark, like, "shadows". I gesture for the guy that I was kissing to come by me. I put the book on the floor, and put my body in it. My top is still out. The guy starts to come into the book with me, he is taller then me, so has his half of his body in. He doesn't know what to do with getting in the rest of the way, so I just shut the book, which brings him in.

We are now in the truffala forest. For some reason the guy wants to go . Maybe to explore or something... It does look like it did in the book. It was dark in places because of the shadows. But, this part is odd, there were stands about, the kind for earrings that you see at stores. They were like a whopping 8 feet high! I then start to fly with some gal DC so that I could say that I completed the advanced TOTM. It was kinda low, but it works. Then, I kinda couldn't fly anymore . I asked for her help, but she just kinda left. No worries, I still did it!

Cool! This task of the month thing looks really interesting. If I have a lucid dream some time soon, I'll try and remember to complete both, or at least taste a rainbow.

Good luck everyone :D

Thanks for this suggestion :D. Obviously, I used it to complete the TOTM. Otherwise, I wasn't quite sure how I'd be able to find Truffala trees.

Welcome to my life :P. When I did my first TOTM in April, it took AT LEAST a week, and the person before me was orange! But, I've done all the TOTM's since September, EXCEPT FOR LAST MONTH'S (and for some reason I am STILL orange, but of course now deserve it). All advanced except for two months ago :P. I had a couple of the "I did both". I need to get better at remembering to do them! Often, it's not my lack of lucids that's the problem, just remembering. There was two HORRIBLE weeks over a month ago that I was not orange. But besides that, I've been orange ever since September! MUST DO TOTM'S!

I will try to also do the basic task if I remember. I'm surprised many of you didn't want to fly through awesome truffala trees! I've eaten stuff before in LD's many times. So, not so new for me :P. Though, I've never eaten anything non-food...

Taken from my dream journal, from two nights ago:

I'm driving down the highway in a car. It's a windy, treacherous highway with overtones of extreme personal danger. To the right of me is a jagged cliff edge, beyond it the ocean is roaring and hissing and sputtering in my general direction.

I end up at a small-ish house nestled on a cliff. I ventured into the house and realized I was holding a bag of some sort of sand substance.

There was an elderly woman there who said that I must empty the contents into the pool upstairs and that it was magic.

The stairs went on forever. This was a very small narrow house, but the stairs seemed to be climbing on and on into forever.

Eventually I reached the top floor. There were hanging scarves, beads, and all sorts of things clouding my vision and enveloping the entire area of the room. There was a rickety old bridge made of wood in the middle of the room that crossed over to a stone pool by a window. I poured out the contents into the pool and a mermaid began to form. I could watch all of her atoms cling together and grow. I had to throw her out of the window and set her free, so I did.

I got back in the car and ended up at this creepy gas station I always stop at when I'm heading to Portland. It's the kind of place in the middle of the woods where you never actually would want to stop but always end up having to go pee right as you start to get near to that godforsaken place.

Anyway, the gas station attendant asked if I was moving into the area and I said I wasn't so sure anymore. Liz and Dookie were in there and they got into the car with me. We continued on along the cliff edges until we reached a very small village.

I got to a place that was a small house looking place... There was a white and blue sign on the building that said "Dream Forum"....

I walked inside and saw my friend Dave. There were a lot of people in there typing on keyboards in rows, but there were no computer screens - just key boards. Everyone kept talking to me about dreams and such, and it wasn't long 'til I realized I was dreaming.

"I think I'm forgetting something," I said, turning to Dave.
"Oh yeah," he said, "you were telling me you had something to do."
"Hmmm," I pondered. "I forget what it was."
"I recall something about rainbows."
"Oh yeah," I said. I looked outside and saw that it wasn't stormy anymore, and the sun was shining. I traced my finger across the sky and saw a rainbow appear. I leapt up into the air and straight onto the rainbow where I slid down the end. The end of the rainbow was spilling into a pool, and it was a watery substance. I took a sip and it was like sugar water. I began to call it "life water" because it was just like magical water or something that tasted really sweet.... That's about it.

"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.
