      Task of the month for July 2010

      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.

      When you complete a task: go to your control panel, then to permission groups, and request to be in the group that applies to the task that you've done. Of course you still need to post the dream here because I check.

      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 - Talk to someone on the phone

      Advanced Task - Clone yourself multiple times

      Cloning myself... hmmm... sounds familiar... Divide by Disturbed! Done it quite a few times before, I'm sure doing it again this month won't be a problem:

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a FA awakening in my living room. It was pretty similar to my living room, but not exactly the same. I wanted to try to talk with my wife about dreams. I was going to let her know something I dreamed. She also told me she has been lucid in her previous dream I guess lucidity was raising here, talking about dreams, wife becomes lucid (she does rare recall a dream and not interested in becoming lucid) The TV was very loud. I could not hear her at all. I tried to turn down the volume, but it did not went as down as I desired. This is true in waking, our HDTV broke and we had to buy a cheap old TV. Works fine but mute does not work and the volume can't be lowered from a certain point. I turned off the TV, but it would turn on again. This happened a few times and I though, "This is odd" I jumped a couple of times and the gravity was not good. I levitated for a few seconds. So I realized I was dreaming. Yay! I was happy, I was going to beat my own record. I wanted so bad to complete the ToTM on the first night (my record on both previous month was on the 2nd to the 3rd) I walked towards the phone we have in the living room. The phone was on the top of my computer desk. In waking is next to the computer and its nor working as we do not need to pay for it having our cell phones. I picked it up and at the beginning it made no sound. After a few seconds, I could hear the regular "booooooooo" a phone does. However, it would stop and sound again, several times. I said, "Oh well, this does not work well as usual. Let's see who I call." I could not see the keyboard. It was very blurry (the dream was very clear) and I remembered that it was no good to stare at stuff, so I just start pressing buttons.

      A few seconds passed and I heard a female voice. She was Mexican, I think, because she was speaking in Spanish. She said something like, "I could have done something about it!!!" She was crying and it appeared she has been badly in tears for a long time. "I could not do it, I could not change it!" I told her it was OK, to not worry about it, to focus on better things. She stopped crying and said, "OK. Thank you! Kisses." I replied, "Kisses" and left the phone (I did not hang up lol) I was happy because the phone was done.

      Then I went to clone myself. I tried to to push a clone out of myself. I do not know how to explain, for those who watched dragon ball, is the technique that Piccolo and Ten Shin Han are able to do:







      I failed to do it that way. Nothing happened. I then tried to push the arms out of me thinking it would work, but I failed as well. I though, "Well... this is though one. I have to ask for some help." I left my place. My wife was talking but I ignored her. She was a DC after all. I left my apartment without opening the door. I saw a couple of elevators, so I found out it was not my apartment. I felt I was in a skyscraper, however, I preferred to use the stairs... I did not trust the elevators in a dream.

      I got quicky to the basement. There was like a restaurant. The tables were round and the lighting was very low. It was almost empty, however, there were some servers. I asked one of them, "Can I use a clone machine? Can you help me?" He said he could not, but referred me to other waiter who could. He approached me. He was bald, about 5'6'' and with a strong build. He said he could help me and advised me to escort him. We went through the "employees only" door. We walked down some stairs. It was pretty dark, the stairs were tiny and the white walls on each site were dirty.
      We arrived to a very dusty and bad lit room. There was an odd round machine with a lot of lights. The closest I find:







      He told me to enter the machine. He said, "This time machine will help you out." I though it would be great for some ToTY, but I needed a CLONE machine. I told him, "I need to clone now!" He said, "Do not worry, with this machine, you set the time were you want to travel and the machine will make a clone out of you, the clone will travel, not you." I though, "OK. That works" He closed the hatchet of the machine. It was very very dark and I started to see blurry. I spung to keep in the dream with success. He pressed 30 minutes and I saw a clone coming out of the machine. I started to press different buttons and I heard a noise like, "toc toc toc toc toc toc, burrrrrrrrrrrrprrrrrrrrrrr, toc toc toc" the machine released a few me(s) I did not feel they were in other time, but they were exact copies of me... so success!!!

      I instantly had a FA in other house. I was in my bed and I did not see my wife. The TV was on and I called her. She told me it was 11:30 am. I told her she allowed me to sleep that late. She told me, "Well, we wanted a quiet morning, so its cool!" I went to the restroom and did my things. It was raining hard. I was happy because that would mean not so much work at the olive oil store. I asked my wife if it was going to be raining the whole day. She replied, "Yeah. Thunderstorms for the afternoon!" I was happy and I was going to let her know I did the ToTM, but I woke up.

      Hum to bad I couldn't do the last one. My lucid dreams slowed down alot and I seem to be in a rut of waking up a minuite after I become lucid. I bet Il need some more practice till I can get these ones done but I was planing to use a phone in my dream anyways. Cloning myself is also something I realy want to do eventualy but I know its a little hard for me. Maby Il go train in the leaf village with naruto he could show me how to clone myself. Actualy I bet I could learn alot of cool stuff from them.

      I'll try this month *she is back*. I'll try it...maybe I can call "sunglasses dude" and use that as a way to find him, and I can clone myself to find him , the other me's. I can work this into my "lucid schedule". It's DISPICABLE. I am working on my 6th LD in trying to find him . I found a lot of imposters.

      Just to get things straight- it has to be more than one copy of yourself? And it has to be cloned from your own body rather than just meeting your double?

      Yep, you have to clone them from you, and you have to have more than one copy.

      I think back to my lucid goals. 1) Talk to a DC on a phone. 2) Find Hazel. 3) Teleport. I go to pick up the landline, but change my mind and grab my cell phone beside my bed. I call someone; I don't remember who. I talk to them and hang up. I type into my contacts for Hazel, but the number isn't there. I phone information, ask for Hazel. The woman on the other end tells me crabbily that there are a lot of Hazels in the world, which one do I want?

      "The one from DreamViews, obviously."

      "This number is not in service."
      Testing this "shared dreaming" phenomenon while I do the basic task.

      I pick up a half-eaten copy of a book by Neil Gaiman, and decide this is all his fault.

      Meh. They look kinda uninteresting. I was hopping for a fourth of July theme (watch fireworks, eat a hot dog, etc.). Why would I want to waste my preciousness lucid time talking on the phone?

      Oh well, this is my first task of the month so I'll give it a try!

      I completed both of them.

      03.07.2010
      July Double ToTM Completion (DEILD)
      ★★★☆☆
      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Keeping still, I perform another WILD. . .

      Success!

      Without hesitation I get out of bed and make my way outside. Oddly, there seems to be three doors hinged to my front doorway. Opening all of them, I'm greeted by a shining sun and people all about my court. I pass one guy with a shaved head and notice an orange armband.

      "Humans vs. Zombies?" I ask him. He responds by putting his finger to his mouth and shushing me as he run behind my house to hide. "Weirdo." I say when he's out of earshot. There are a bunch of other players scattered about my neighborhood including some of my friends, but I figured HvZ could wait a bit, I had some tasks to carry out.

      Deciding to clone myself first, I walk to the middle of my court, do some random hand signs, and shout "Tajuu--Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" I hear the familiar popping noise around me as hundreds of clones are created in a puff of grey smoke. I take a look at them, and sure enough, they're me. However, they're all wearing the same ugly orange blazer and a dirty green headband. Great. I've created a mass of egotistical, fashion-challenged, zombies. Might as well have some fun with them.

      Using my mind and a tad of willpower, I force all of them to attack me at once. As they converge I punch the first to reach me in the face, while roundhouse kicking the clone on my other side. I use the the momentum I generate with that to drop to the ground and knock a few clones down by sweeping out their footing. "You're still a Zed now," one of the clones remarked.

      "Crap! You're right!" I exclaim, beaten at my own game. Well, then this next bit is for the horde! I think excitedly, willing my hundreds of clones to disperse and tag all the remaining humans. The game was over in less than a minute, which left me time enough to do the basic task as well.

      Digging into my pocket, I find my wallet, my car keys, and--there it is--my cell phone. Pulling it out I open it up and hit send twice. The creepy phone lady informs me that this is not a phone number I'm calling, but some kind of app center. I end the call, and hit send again, scrolling through the list of available names. I notice one contact called 'a human' so I figured I'd go for that one. The phone rings a few times before someone picks up.

      "Hello?" a muffled voice on the other end asks.

      "Hi! Who is this?"

      "It's me, RTN."

      "Oh, didn't I see you playing in the game?"

      "Yeah, I'm right over here, dummy."

      Looking over to the main street I see RTN on his cell phone, accompanied by his girlfriend DTZ. I close my phone and wave over to him, but he's still upset by the shenanigans I had just pulled.

      Haha, nice one. When I read the advanced TotM I immediately thought of taking the Naruto approach as well.

      Basic task on july 2nd:

      Back to sleep.

      FA, go out of bed and RC, I was not wanting to go back to the mountain, but decided against it, couldn’t point out my real goal, so tried to remember another one, yes, I could remember another goal, the basic task of MM, to use a phone and call someone.

      So went over to the phone and called my sister, then told her to get home quickly, that something bad had just happened, then she hung there and I didn’t get to see her arriving, too bad, I wanted to see something funny.
      As you can see, I thought it was the task of a dif site <.<

      July 3rd:

      Back to sleep.

      FA, go out of bed and RC, I get out of the room, completely oblivious about what my goal and my past dream was about, so just started walking when I recalled the DV task, decided I might as well give it a try.

      Jumped inside of a house, and then went over to the refrigerator, once that I was there, started eating, needed the extra energy, then started making clones of me, it was quite disturbing see someone go out from my head and form in front of me, but whatever was to make a clone of myself! That was the goal after all, it didn’t take long before they started wondering where they were and walking aimlessly around the house I was at, I could see 18, so did another two and felt like I was done with cloning myself, then asked something to them, they all were, void, I didn’t like that idea of them being void... so was going to breath something else onto them when one decided it was ok to push a knife onto itself, then panic because of pain and then drop dead, the others started to panic too and run around, and after a good while of running, die... apparently my clones were pathetic, better though, no need to have more kids now.
      My clones were cheap <.<

      I called myself on the phone last night, but I woke up before either one of me got to say anything. Guess I'll have to try again.

      Woah, I sort of "cloned" myself in a semi-lucid a few nights ago when I enticed my reflection to come out of the mirror; I didn't even know it was one of the tasks. I was planning on trying it again in my next lucid, so this gives me even more incentive. ^^
