Thread: Task of the Month for November 2011

@zebra - Dude, I wrote this amazing paper laying out the metaphysical structure of the astral plane and the related philosophical position it gives on reality. He said, "this is pure imagination" and gave me a @#$&ing F!

I even featured the idea that the structure of the mind is recurring in large groups of galaxies because it's a depiction that we are walking around in a reality created by our minds (so we see it's structure at our highest perceptual level.)

He says, "OK? this is not philosophy - this is pure imagination ans superstition." It's a philosophical proposition you stupid cunt!

Just now noticed this was up >.<!

Going to try them tonight, and post my results tomorrow.

P.S. Great task ideas, Mancon!

That sucks, good sir. I've always considered writing a paper on lucid dreaming and consciousness for one of my papers, but have strayed against it because I live in the middle of Bumfuck nowhere, and my teachers are all at least seventy years old. You going into the astral plane structure seems like a paper I'd want to read. It should've been a pleasure for him. I would like reading that if you want to maybe upload it.....

looking forward to trying the task.

one of my dream goals overall is to go to "Rapture" in bioshock, so, hopefully i will get two birds with one stone!

Well, he said I can re-write it, so maybe I'll upload the final draft

Man, these are perfect for me. I have one professor this semester that stands out as being a total ass, and I'd love to get payback on him. As for the advanced task, I wind up in video game worlds in half of my dreams anyway, being a gamer. I just need to become lucid in one and really be IN the game, instead of just playing it! Now, I just need to really focus this month. It's been months since I've had a lucid dream... >.>

I had a semi-lucid dream where I was playing the "Launch" map on Call of Duty: Black Ops. I became lucid half way through a match but decided to play it through, It was just another friend and myself on our team and there were probably 40 or so people on the other team. They were all terrible so it was pretty fun. I don't know if this counts because the task explicitly states that you must "Visit" the place while lucid and I became lucid while already there. Happy dreaming!

I'm putting my foot in the door and am stating right now that I'm going to conquer this advanced task this month. It's #1 in my goals. I will get it done! I am lucid.

My teacher just changed my F to an A after I talked to him about it.

So I will no longer be shooting him in the kneecap for the TOTM, instead I plan on setting off an explosion in the faculty wing. I am still going to Hoagwarts.

I'm going to try the task of being in a place in one of my favorite books: The Memoirs of Cleopatra. I'm not feeling the idea of angering someone, even if in my dreams. It's just not my personality.

That's awesome, dude! What'd he say?

He said he didn't understand my paper and didn't know how to judge it, so I went through two of the points I made and he seemed impresses so he changed my grade to an A. The writing was kinda dense, took me 15 hours to write, so that was that. ;P

I don't want to make my music teacher mad he's cool.
I'll piss off the ISS teacher though

After a dry spell of lucids, I had a very memorable and long dream last night. And completed advanced task.

Entry Link

Spoiler for excerpt:

As I stared down the street, walking in the middle of the street now, I realized I was dreaming. There were people behind me, one azn guy, and for some reason I just started running down the street. I think of what I should do and remember the TOTM. I think of There Will Be Blood and imagine being in a scene in the movie.

The dream shifts and I am in a dark, old, wooden room. It is the final scene of There Will Be Blood. Daniel Plainview is there, but he is not played by Daniel Day Lewis, I think it is the old man from In the name of the father. Then Eli(Walter Mattheau!) steps in the room and sits in a chair across from 2 parallel tables, running longwise between the actors. I inspect Plainview carefully and listen to them talk. He has a pretty identical out to the movie, he had a small moustache, greased aside hair, same arching of his back, and his voice is accurate, even though the actor is different. As I get bored of the scene, where the dialogue wasn't accurate, Plainview berates Eli and threatens the Milkshake comment. LOL!

Jeez, the Advanced Task is coming to be a lot harder than I thought it would be. In several of my lucids, I have managed to get to a location in which the characters of the game/movie/show are present, but when it comes to recreating an area from the fictional story, I have been having serious problems... First I tried Baten Kaitos, next I tried Star Trek, after that I tried The Nightmare Before Christmas (maybe I will try Amadeus next). Again, I have managed to make the characters of those particular entertainments appear in mine lucid dreams, but I just cannot manage to recreate an area which appeared in them. (Shrugs) Maybe I am just over-thinking things, as usual.

This is the hardest task for me yet, next to becoming the king of Wild Things.

Hopefully I will have this done before time runs out.

Woo hoo! Finished the ToTM last night by constructing my own Mjolnir suit of armour from the Halo games!

48th Lucid - ToTM November
The beginning of the dream eludes me, but my memory begins with me already lucid. I am in a place I've never been before, a small pasture, surrounded by hills on 3 sides and leading to the ocean on the other. Opposite the ocean is a small house/cottage up on the hill, I began somewhere near here. Knowing that I was dreaming, I decided to go for a bit of a fly. I jump up in the air and propel myself forward - the wind flapping my clothes and hair. I took a dive towards the ground and flipped upside down, flying backwards down the hill. I drop, gently rubbing against the ground as I continue to push as I fly. I remember thinking about the strange warmth it produced instead of pain, and how it shouldn't tear the shirt I was wearing. I get back upright and fly back towards the cottage on the hill.

Inside, fOrceez's little brother is set up as a clue to complete the ToTM, as he's completely dressed in Mjolnir armour from the Halo series. Oh, right! I should do the ToTM! I look in a mirror and start to create the armour around me. Almost like in Iron Man, the armour starts latching around my arms, legs, body and head. I can still see perfectly clearly, no helmet or visor obstructs my view - but I'm now decked out in full yellow armour!



I move my arms around, jump up and down, it was incredibly light and offered no resistance - feeling as though it actually increased the speed and power of my movements. I go back outside and look out over the hills. I point my hands down at the ground and push - this is one of the first times I've tried to use Iron Man rocket-style flying but boy is it good. I flew around the hills for a while, and some time later lose lucidity - though quite how I am not sure.

I'm failing so far this month. No lucids, and only a small amount of recall. I blame it on work-related stress.

Sorry I failed you guys, although I did meet 7 of 9, it was in an ordinary setting and I don't think I can do it with only 3 nights left. :/
No school related dreams either.

Not a lot of people completed the tasks, huh? I wanted to try but I had a terrible dryspell, and I have some of my own goals at the moment.
