Thread: Task of the Month for August 2011

I'm not sure which task to do this time around! Maybe I'll go with visiting the Chocolate Factory.

More music?

Come on Ninja!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can do better!!

The advanced task seems a bit easier to my beginner's mind, and much more tempting, so I think I'll go for that one. They say you can't die in dreams, what about from an overload of chocolate-induced pleasure? :p

I dislike these tasks. >.>;;

Interesting tasks, particularly the advanced. I think I am just about in the mood to try some dream candy. Hopefully I will have these done soon.

I have a question. If I hold a concert in a lucid dream and I'm not the vocalist, does it count? I mean I am telling him what to sing, just, not directly to me.

Ah! If only I'd read this thread I would have easily been able to pull off the task last night while I was singing! ><!

Okay another basic task that I will do and an advanced one I will skip.

Definitely gonna try going for this- both of em

Does it count If i had a lucid dream like this before the task of the month?

I was such a miserable failure last month. Hopefully I can get one of these for August. The Chocolate Factory sounds really fun!

I know, I'll visit the chocolate factory and have willy wonka or the oompa loompas to sing me a song! two birds with one stone!

Can't believe it! I got the basic task on the first night of August! !

Since I haven't updated my DJ and want to keep it in the right order I'll write it out here

Everything was playing out like a movie, and I was the central character. I remember running around what looked somewhat like the quidditch stadium from Harry Potter, under the grand stands. I was trying to get away from a man, a Russian who was ordered to assassinate me. I was lethal, there was some kind of explosive device fitted to me which was about to go off and I knew it. I needed to get away from the city, away from this crowd full of people.

My view pans out, and I see a close up of the man's shoe kicking my helmet as he walks up the stairs. Instantly he jumps down, and the view pans out to the side showing us both.
"I need to get away from here, if I don't all the people in this city are going to die. I can't let that happen, and neither can you. You need to let me go." The man now knew about the explosives fitted to me. He let me go, and I started running.
I looked over the edge of the stadium, and saw a glimpse of what would come, rubble and ruins. Somehow I knew I was in Russia, though it looked a lot like LA or another large American city.

I started running, across a green field of grass. I just kept running faster and faster. There was a blanket which kept coming over my head, trying to smother me and stop me. I flipped my arms up in the air and tried to get rid of it, but it kept coming back down. Finally I broke free of the blanket wave and started flying away, in a completely standing up position. Hold on a second, what's going on? I must be lucid!

I kept flying in the same standing up position, it felt like riding a t-bar at the snow, but a lot faster, and obviously through the air. I accelerated, heading instead of away, towards the city, tall and bustling with people. I remembered to stabilise momentarily, rubbing my hands together and adding to my sense of touch as the wind lit up my entire body. I flew down on to a road, and started walking along, looking at the people who were filling the streets. I remember looking at a small girl, around 11-12 with ginger hair and freckles. For some reason, this little girl made me think of the ToTM, get people to sing with me! And the entire dream happened just as I wanted, right in the middle of a place bustling with people!

I yelled out "Everybody, sing with me! Everybody sing!" and all the people around me started singing in unision, branching lyrics off of "Everybody sing!" I remember running around listening to the sound and singing myself, the harmony of hundreds of people all singing at once was magnificent, and resonated through my entire body. I walked past DC's and through the streets, still singing and making up words as I went along, until I eventually got sidetracked, seeing a beautiful woman and trying to find out who she was. I walked up to her and she turned out to be Robin from How I Met Your Mother. She asked me a question and I was going to respond. I opened my mouth and said Ye- and I spoke in my waking body.

That sounds awesome.

Ack! Had a lucid last night and thought "I need to do the tasks of the month!" .. but then I realized I hadn't yet found out August's tasks.. d'oh

Successful DILD!

I was in a library frantically looking for a book about scarves. I found the book and went up to the front counter. As the lady was handing me back my book here eye fell out, and rolled onto the floor. My face:

I was about to call 911, and I did a quick reality check. I was dreaming! The feeling on panic subsided. I stabilized the dream, and decided I wanted to go to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

I looked for the biggest book I could find, opened it, and found a big illustration of the factory. I touched the picture and my hand went through the page into the picture. I put my first foot in, then my next foot, and finally my whole body. I could hear a little splashing sound as I went through the page.

I looked around, everything was very bright and vivid. I was standing on a big field of lime green grass, and coconut trees. I could see Willy Wonka handing on the wall like spiderman, staring at me with the creepiest smile ever.

I bent down and pulled out a single blade of grass and put it in my mouth. A shocking sweet tasting blueberry exploded in my mouth. It tasted amazing. I turned out around, and suddenly Willy Wonka was there holding a coconut.

"Everything in here in edible." he told me.

He pulled out his tongue and handed it to me.

"Even this."
"You really want me to eat that?" I told him.
"It's a dream, who cares?"

He had a good point. I grabbed the tongue and put it in my mouth. The texture was bumpy, but it tasted like honey dipped in chocolate. I grabbed the coconut, and licked the outside. It had an orange taste.

"Where is the chocolate river?" I asked him, looking around.

Suddenly the ground dropped beneath us, and I was swimming in chocolate. It didn't taste like chocolate though, it has a sour taste. I could see these gummy fish swimming in the river. They came in all colors. Bright green, red, purple, and even teal.

I looked around for Willy Wonka and he was on a ladder in the middle of the river, holding a cloud. He told me to open my mouth. I did and lightning shot out of the cloud right into my mouth. It tasted like someone just poured a bottle of coke into my mouth.

Suddenly Willy Wonka looked at me like he was insane. He started to charge at me. I put out my hands and imagined a a big barrier coming out of my fist. Willy shot backwards, disappearing in the river.

Willy was no where in sight. I looked around, and realized this place was really creepy. I was alone in a huge chocolate river, and a lime green field with coconut trees. The river began to look like blood. Nobody else was with me, and I felt like people were watching me. I freaked myself out and woke up.

I thought they seemed kinda boring at first glance too, but then I realized you could eat things in the chocolate factory.

If only my DCs were as helpful.

I'm almost positive this counts!

A bunch of relatives and I are in an airplane again, and it is being flown by a woman, who looks like Amy Adams. We reach the point where we are going to land, except we're landing into the water. We hit the water with a hard smack and start skidding closer to shore, and closer to dangerous rocks. We stop to a halt just moments before we crash, and everyone gets off to a dock on the left. Now, we all get into a car, and Aunt Mellisa asks me what instrument my Dad should play. I tell her trumpet, because I play that. She pulls out a trumpet case, but when I look inside, half of it is foam. I tell her that there is no way this can work. She simply says "Try it then." To my amazement, it's the most beautiful sounding instrument I've ever heard, and it doesn't even have valves or a mouth piece. I play the C scale, and then Aunt Mellisa begins humming "Sunshine of your Love" by Cream. I play the guitar part with the trumpet. Verse one starts, and she starts singing "Candyshop", but to the beat of Sunshine of your Love. I stop soon after, just because it's way too funny. I get out of the car, and we're at Universal Studios.

I did this in a non-lucid the other night (the same night I said screw it, I'm not trying this anymore)
