Thread: Task of the month for July 2010

Nice, remember that you need two clones though

Since I have multiplied myself before, for the task I wanted to push it to the next level. I have done 256 copies, so I went for 512! Here is the dream:

"All the way to 10?" I asked the general of the troll army, mockingly, "I'm impressed. I didn't realize trolls could count that high." The general glared at me and said I was no longer amusing him. I told him if he turned his forces around and left immediately, no one would get hurt. He said I would be wishing no one had been hurt. He took out his sword and tried to run me through. His sword hit my Witchblade armor, which formed instantly. The troll was quite surprised by that. I said if he was surprised by that, wait until he got a load of what was coming up next. I was about to focus on my multiplication spell when I saw there was another human there with me. It was Tigress. She asked what was going on. I motioned towards the army of trolls and orcs. I said if she wanted to help, just go ahead and kill something. In fact, kill lots of somethings. The trolls laughed some more. I guess the idea of Tigress killing lots of them was very amusing to them. Tigress multiplied. There was a paladin version of herself in shining armor with a large glowing sword… a rogue version of herself which was a halfling and had a dagger dripping with poison… and a fighter version of herself which was a warforged and was carrying two nasty looking swords… and that was in addition to her normal self.

So now I focused on the song Divide by Disturbed. 2… 4… 8… 16… 32… 64… 128… 256… That's where I normally stop. I saw that all of Tigress had dispersed into the enemy army, killing as she went through them. I thought I saw the pally split into two pallies, so Tigress wasn't done dividing, either. So even as the trolls attacked all of my clones, I continued multiplying… I wanted to push the limit. Another split… 512 of me. Every part of my mind seemed to be consumed by a different part of the fight. Cutting down a troll here, running my Witchblade sword through an orc there… There were still so many more trolls than there were of us… Should I keep dividing? I wasn't sure what would happen… I decided I had better not chance it until I knew for sure 512 would work well… So the fight continued. Having 512 of me was rather disorienting, but since all of us were focused on the same task, that made it easier. All of us were utilizing our Witchblade swords to cut down trolls and orcs wherever we found them.

Then I noticed something… one of the orcs had put his sword through one of my clones! His sword had managed to penetrate her Witchblade… I wondered how that was possible. Had dividing the Witchblade that many times made it less effective? My Witchblade spoke to me in my mind, saying the others were not as strong due to the dividing… but the original me still had a fully effective Witchblade. I felt the energy from the clone return to me. Ok… 511 of me… The fight was intense, and disorienting as I tried to direct each of my clones at the same time. A couple more clones went down, but that was nowhere near the number of trolls to fall. Soon the field was littered with dead trolls and also some fallen orc traitors. Only Tigress and I were left… there were 64 Tigresses and 486 of me.

Tigress looked around at all of the Ravens standing around her. She asked if I could have made any more of me. I said yeah, I thought I could have, but I stayed with 512 for now. The next step up from 256. Both of us absorbed our clones back into ourselves and surveyed the area. Nothing but death. Tigress started an intense fire. She said many of the bodies would burn, and create fertilizer for the earth… and the ones that don't burn will feed the scavengers of the wilderness. I looked at the burning carcasses and thought that was the first time those trolls and orcs would ever be useful to anyone. I was looking at the flames when I woke.

I partly did the basic task in a LD i just woke up from. I made a phone call, but didnt have a conversation with the voice on the other side. It was pretty cool how it worked though. I had my laptop playing a show called arrested development on a website called hulu while i was sleeping (So their was talking going on in real life the whole LD) Anyways, before every episode theres a voice that says "the following episode is presented with limited commercials blah blah . .. lol" you get the point. Anyways, right when i dialed its like my brain decided to start listening to the sounds coming from the laptop , because the voice on the other end said " the following episode ..." then I could hear arrested development until i hung up the phone then it stopped! Just wierd to me that the phone being by my ear was like starting and stopping myself from being able to hear what was going on in real life while i was LDing

yeah so i tried to do the advanced task this month. didnt really go so well...

jeez this was my first luciid in four months.

I'm in my bed but I think its my moms bed. I am like 5 and sleeping in my moms bed because i dont like my bed. She asks me to move the heater towards the curtain so that it wont be so cold, but i tell her that makes no sense coz the curtain will catch fire. Then captain Aizen walks into the room and kidnaps my mom. the room goes dark and i try to catch him but he is gone. I go to move the heater like a good little boy but i cant find it. I realise that i must be dreaming so i rub my hands together and proceed to phase through the window. I see a bunch of wierd places but focus on where im going and end up outside. Its pretty dark outside. i try to fly up but my flying skills are completely out of sync. I try to do the lucid task of the month and clone myself using kage bunshin no jutsu. i get really angry because it isnt working but vince mcmahon starts chasing me into the house. He shouts at me and tells me i suck at flying. I fly through my front door to get out of the house. its morning and ive given up on the task of the month. I try to take off by jumping really hard but i cant sustain flight. i see my dog Gwen who is my dreamsign. then i eventually arive at some mansion where i was told someone could help me clone myself. i kinda lost lucidity here.

my friends entire family was sleeping over at my house(dreamsign) but it was this huge mansion(DS). My dad told me he really doesnt like my friends dad so i just nodded. Then his family woke up and everyone started arguing for no reason at all.my dad started arguing with both of my friends parents so i just put on my shoes and walked away...

dont really remember much but i was at school and these people were throwing buckets of water at my friends. so as they through the water i froze it in midair and tried to run up the ice but halfway. i walked into class and my teacher talked about the negative effects of drugs, beer and gambling.

I save this little kid from my school from being run over by a car. its pretty dark outside and this car starts chasing me. I run all the way around a mountain and the car overtakes me and speeds off. For some reason i think the only way to punish this guy is to beat him in a game of poker. Snoop dogg appears out of nowhere. he hands me a deck of cards and the car keys to a porche. just as i'm about to get in my alarm goes off.

Basic task

first time ever getting a task of the month

Taralucid (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

i was in this large open area and tara was there. we were flying around like it was minecraft and i guess somehow i realized i was dreaming. I then basically made a world instantly and it was like a bunch of different levels from different games put together on one map. I was flying around trying to shoot tara while she was running on the ground trying to avoid me. I was doing quite well in my maneuvering. Leah showed up and some other people who i dont remember and i basically pissed all over leahs head or something. its hard to explain. then some zombies spawned and we all started killing them for lulz. There was little butte playground right next to our level now so i went over there to check itout. It was packed with people and i started to fade out. i got on the phone somewhere and talked to someone about whiskey i think and i faded back in. Then i went inside and started walking down the hallway. it was kinda ominous and i faded out and couldnt fade back in.

I cloned myself. I entered a lucid dream via a reality check and remembered to clone myself. I tried removing clones from a box or opening a door, but random people walked out. Grabbing some inspiration from Inception, I made a mirror and looked at myself in it. I gently broke the mirror, but my "clone" remained. I repeated this a couple times till there were a few of me. I wasn't sure what to do with my clones, but my alarm went off, making the decision for me.

Break apart and... divide.

Good reads so far everyone, and grats to those who've been successful so far.

I did it! A very passive control way of cloning myself; hope this counts. Full dream found here.

Come to think of it, this would be a good time to try the task of the month. I reach into the mirror and pull my reflection out. She sprawls out on the floor, limp and lifeless. Annoyed, I prop her against the wall and look into the mirror again, at my new reflection. Before I can pull her out as well, my other one falls over in my lap. "Ew, she's drooling," I mutter, sitting her up against the wall again. A girl is standing behind me; she's been with me for a while, but I can't remember who she is. Raven Knight, perhaps? Possibly Tamora. She tells me to stop fooling around; that it's obvious I have to give the reflection some life force before it responds.

"Oh, of course." I put my hand on my clone's head and say, "I give you life." Suddenly, her once glazed over eyes become alert. She can now sit up without having to lean up against the wall. "Yay, it worked!" Now I reach into the mirror and pull out my new reflection, this time giving her life before she's even fully out of the mirror. That's two clones, that should be enough to satisfy the requirements.

Nice job hazel

I woke up late in the middle of the night, and Decided to read up on the forums. I saw the task of the month and was extremely interested. I have always wanted to do one of them, and i saw that the tasks seemed pretty easy this month. I Chose to WBTB and then i began....

[COLOR="rgb(255, 0, 255)"]I couldn't understand where I was. I was in s street like new york, however, the streets were vacant. No one was around, except an owl. I Walked over to it, just to see what it was, and it turned into a human. [/COLOR]I then relized that i was dreaming, because obviously owls can't do that. The person looked just like me, dressed in white clothing, and wings. They told me it was my turn to die, and their turn to live. I looked at my shadow, and pictured myself obtaining wings, and they grew, i flew up, but the other me was much faster than me. He caught up and threw me to the ground. I pulled me arms together, and pulled apart rapidly. I pictured my body splitting, and ripping apart. Each one of those split apart, and i had 3 other versions of myself.

I was very weird controlling multiple forms of myself. I could hear everyone's thoughts, and they were all individuals.... It was so awkard with everyone doing the same thing....

So i commanded them all to be their own person, but to still look up to me as their leader. I sprang up and pounded the evil form of myself into a building (Which had several different portable walls inside, most likely a technical help building) and the 3 other forms of myself handeled the rest of it. I then attempted to do other stuff (Like calling someone) however no one was alive beside me and my clones, it seemed.... No one was in their buildings, and no one answered their phones... I traveled across america, then went to check the moon.... Befor i reached the moon, i woke up to the sound of my cell phone ringing.... grr

Im new to this, so how does it all work?

That's basically how you do it Scolor. You complete the task in your LD and post the dream here in some detail for all to read.

Ha Ha you should have called one of your clones Scolor. Interesting that you woke up to your phone ringing.

Yeah... I just realized that connection.

I'm having problems to get any lucid, so, no progress so far for me

Yay I did the basic one this month without even knowing it was a task! Sadley though I doubt I will remember to do the advanced one. It seems to take me ages to transfer ideas to my dreams. I'm still working on the asking a DC what my dream journal password is. Surely my password is in my head somewhere.

I talked on the phone with Tom Felton a few nights ago. (in a dream, durr) ^_^ I didnt even know it was a TotM! I had come back from another room and my phone was on and he was on the other line like "hullo? HULLO?! Shawn? Are you there?" And I told him I didn't realize I'd called him. xD Good times.

Yay I never thought I'd do a TotM! Newb win!

Where you lucid?

I had my first lucid last night: it was ten seconds of pure hyperventilation! If I manage to maintain my lucidity in another dream before the end of the month I'll try to call someone...it would be my first ToTM!

It's good you have your first one. I remember you asking for advice.

Write the task on your dream journal, so you don't forget it.

Wish luck.

there are some nice reads here! i'll try to remember to call someone when i'm lucid ^^
i'm not goint to clone myself that is too hard i think i must first master LDing

^@ catzisconfus: yeh i know! Dreams are entertaining. I have to master LD's too. I can't wait. I think joining is gonna get me more motivated to do a WILD.

Thanks, I'll need it!

Semi lucid. I had will over what I did but (as usual) it didn't really click in my mind that I could change the dream however I want. I'm new to this; does being non lucid make it void to the TotM?

If so, womp womp. That just makes me want to try harder. (and I take back the "newb win" comment. For now.)

Yeah, sorry It has to be a lucid dream! You will accomplish soon for sure, almost got it!

Btw... did you drew you sign? If so, nice job
