Thread: Task of the month for March 2010

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!

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.

Sorry to double post, but I completed my first advanced TOTM this morning! Here's the details:

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

[...]and I noted how funny it was that I was holding onto the train to stay in the dreamworld while singing that part.

I thought about a lucid goal I wanted to try, now that I was lucid, and DV's advanced task of the month popped immediately into my mind. I noted that this task would require my attempting something I'd never tried in a lucid dream before: flying. I figured my body was aerodynamic enough to fly if I just forced myself out the window of the car, so I opened the window and tried to fit myself through. It was too small, so I imagined the little square window expanding to roughly twice its size. I found that this window wasn't giving me enough room, so I resolved to plan B: I got up and stood in the main aisle, faced the back of the train, and ran full force out the back opening.

The moment I hit the air I was airborne and sailing! I swerved to the left, bringing myself upward into the air, and saw that the train, cutting through an immense field of green grass, was passing a forest of Truffula trees (like those Dr. Seuss ones?), to the right of the train tracks. I did a barrel roll and flew upside down just over the tops of the trees.

Completed my first basic TOTM this morning! Woot!!

I snapped my fingers twice more for no reason. I noticed it was a gray and cloudy around me, and there were puddles on the ground. It's been raining! I thought. Rainbows!

I looked up in the sky, in the distance. I imagined a rainbow should be there. A very, very faint one appeared in the sky. Good enough for me, I thought. Now I just have to get to it! I flung my arms out for my wings. They didn't appear, but I pushed off the ground anyways. I felt myself sink. No way is this happening! I've flown once before, I'mma do it again, god damn it!! The dream got a little shaky from this, but I closed my eyes, pushed off the ground again, and let this floaty feeling carry me up. I was flying only for a few seconds and I wondered, How close am I? I stopped and hovered in the air. I couldn't see the rainbow anymore. I looked below me and I was hovering over top of it.

I lowered myself through the rainbow. I could feel all of the colours misting around me with cool water droplets. I stuck my tongue out to catch the droplets. They tasted like the candy shell you get on candy apples.

I was so happy I finally completed a TOTM, that I woke up

Awesome going Clyde Machine and eternal star01 and everybody else!

Thanks, Dragonwhisperer, just waiting to see if I get approved for the orange name.... Miss having it.
