Thread: Task of the month for April 2010

No, it doesn't count if you do it in a non-lucid

Damn! It was a weird but good try

Ninja is made of epicness, that's why this month's Task is epic lol. More EPIC, I mean.

^^agreed. Ninja is an epic monster.

I read about the Lucid Tasks yesterday and told myself the next time I was lucid I would do those. Apparently it's good for me to set goals like that becasue I got lucid last night and completed both tasks.


Lucid Tasks Dream:

I was having camera problems and was feeling very frustrated. There was something I really wanted to take a picture of (though I can't remember what it was).

Something in my mind reminded me that this meant that there was a chance I was dreaming. I didn't want to think about that possibility because that meant that whatever it was that I was taking a picture of was not real, and I really wanted it to be real.

But I decided to try to fly anyway, and wasn't too surprised when I took off gliding and knew that this was a dream.

I then remembered the Tasks that I wanted to try.


I landed on the ground again. I was on the side of a nearly empty city street. I could see no cars and very few people.

I decided to try the basic task first--the simple headstand. So I bent over with my hands down, just like I would do a hand stand in a pool. I put my head on the pavement and tried to balance my legs in the air. At first I was having trouble maintaining balance. I had to tell myelf, "Oh come on... this is a dream. I should be able to do this with no problems." And at that I steadied myself and held a headstand.

Pleased with myself, I decided to try the more advanced version of a headstand. I wasn't sure how this one would work. I had never separated body parts on a dream before. I had no idea if they would come off easily or not. Would it hurt at all?

I grabbed my head in my hands and started giving a sideways pull. I wasn't sure if anything was happening. Then I noticed my shadow on the ground in front of me and I realized that that would be a great help.

I then watched as I slid my head off my shoulders (no pain or discomfort at all) and lowered it to the ground. I also didn't noticed any change with the way I was viewing things. My vision remained focused on the shadow.

I placed my head on the ground next to my feet. I felt no sensation on my head at all as I carefully stepped up on my head. My feet, however, were bare, and I could feel my head and hair under my feet. I stood there for a moment.

And then must have lost lucidity because I remember nothing else.

Sorry, but you have to complete both tasks in seperate LD's :/.

But, congrats anyway .

Does it count if I jump from my original dream-body, possess a DC, and stand on the original's head?

Since when has that been a rule? It never used to be a rule. And why does it matter anyway?

Well, I remember it being said that it was a rule :/.

lol thats only a rule for the task of the year, so people don't finish it all in one LD in a rushed attempt.

Regardless, forgot to post yesterday:

Back to sleep.

FA, go out of bed and RC, I was a bit confused about what to do, then recalled the plot in the past dream and teleported back to where I was, then noticed that there was a lot of people inside and outside of the school, jumped inside and fell on my head, then instead of getting up, felt like walking on it, don’t even know why but I wanted to do it, when I got bored, tried going outside of the school, but woke up instead.

Really? I remember it being said that it was for even the normal TOTM's.
Hmm.

Yeah, either that or the rule was never enforced for ToTM <.<

It hasn't been a rule since I've been running it. I've done both in the same dream many times.

I knew it!
Anyway, did my attempt count?

Yep, the badge is on it's way.

Hmm.

WakingNomad did both of his in the same dream last month, so yes.

I definitely want to give this a try! Everyone hope I have a LD this month!

Congrats for the successes!

I'll have to try these. Hopefully I'll have better luck than last month.
I tasted the rainbow last night in a lucid dream It tasted like air.

Basic Task of the Month April 3, 2010
-Stand on your head.

After a short bout with sleep paralysis I sit up and into a dream. I am lucid in my bedroom but quickly move into the bath with the goal of going through a mirror. My reflection is normal but the mirror had another mirror inside of it with a spotted pattern. My hand is softly placed against the mirror but reluctant to go through. After trying a few more times, I decide I won't be able to pass.

I turn my attention towards the basic TotM. There is another mirror; full bodied on the bathroom door so I do the headstand right there in the bathroom to see myself. Sort of a small area. I place the top of my hand on the ground, effortlessly throw my legs up and observe myself doing a handstand. It felt normal with the blood rushing to my head and all but after a few seconds the dream ended.

Nicely done, Requiem.

A-ToTM - Stand on your head! (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Okay last night I became lucid out of no where. I was just flying and then realised what was up.

I floated down to the ground and noticed the trees around me. They were like dead, yellow palm trees (omg, for once... NOT pine trees!). And below me, Harvey road, just infront of scobie barracks (The place I do Air Force Cadets.)

I remembered the ADVANCED Task Of The Month and I started to pull my head off to stand on it. I run my fingers along my neck, adding pressure and they cut through my neck like butter... Before long, I have my head in my right palm and I lower it onto the road I am standing on. The vision does not change at all but I get a sudden dizzy spell. I rub my hands and concentrate the dream solidifies a little more. Here, I start telling myself to DEILD just in case. I put my right toe onto my head and start adding small ammounts of pressure. I don't feel anything at all. I am in shoes and this head isn't connected to me so I guess I feel nothing.

I put both toes on and start the balancing act. And once I do, I feel a little accomplished (more like an epic grin.) then the dream skips and I lose my lucidity.

Wow. I only just found out about this last night. I'm impressed with myself.

Giants ... ( DILD )

Normal Dream

Lucid

Length: Medium
Vividity: Great

I was outside my house, at the beach, starring at the nightsky. The stars shaped two letters, 'RC', and a picture of a guy pinching his nose. I did the same and became Lucid. I contiuned glaring at the sky, then I heard a loud splash. I looked at the see, and found a giant ghost, the size of a building. ¤ Or what I thought was ¤ It was running very fast at my direction. "Bleh." My friend appeared just beside me. "What brings you here? Can't you see that thing infront of me!" I said to him. "Yeah, I do. But now's not the time. I came to warn you about something-" He replied. "About what? About that thing over there?" I asked. "No. Something else." I heard footsteps behind me. I looked back, and found a guy, he was tall, 3 meters, maybe. He had freakishly long legs, and his arm was huge. "About that, right?" "How did you know?!" "You jus- ah, forget it. You know him?" I asked. "Yeah, he was once a living human, just like you and me. But once, dark wizzards ate his legs and arms, and then at his funeral, preformed a ritual that made him back to life. Beware, though, one slap from him and your dead." He explained. "You had a dramatic entry, didn't you? Shit, that other one dissappeared!" I was freaked out. I backed down, "Darkness, give me crap- I mean strength." I pulled my hands down, then back forward, 5 dark spheres were launched towards him, he got hit, the spheres returned back to me, and he is pulled with it, too. I grabed 2 spheres in my hands. "Soul Requiem! Whatever it means!" I hit his head, and it exploded. He then fell, and supposedly died. I carried his hand, and slightly sliced my head off. I was at 3rd person view. I put it down, and stood ontop of it. I had some trouble getting balanced, but I got the hang of it eventually. "Get off, numbskull." It spoke by itself, I got freaked out, which knocked me out of balance, which made me wake up.

"Get Off Numb Skull!"

Ahh I love it man. Classic! :3

Ahaaaaaaaa. I got the information in Banhurts dreamjournal program and i saw the same task. Now i see what you mean
