Task of the Month for May 2013

**OpheliaBlue** · 05-01-2013 05:12 AM

Introduction:
This topic is for the Lucid Tasks that are assigned by the Lucid Task Club and the On-Topic Administrator. Please attempt any or all 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: either a basic or an advanced or both (specify in the description field if it was the bonus task). Of course you still need to post the dream here because we check.

Whoever completes any 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 a lucid task each month. Members of this club can submit suggestions for the next month's tasks.

Tasks for this month:

Basic Task i - Lay an egg (because this task is basic i, you get credit for whatever comes out).
Basic Task ii - Tell a DC that he/she isn't real. Explain what happens next.

Advanced Task i - Have a date or and adventure with a mythological creature or character, and describe it.
Advanced Task ii - Light yourself on fire in front of a DC. Describe the reaction.

BONUS TASK!! - Remove a body part and reattach it using any means necessary.

Thanks to Oceandrop for the idea to have a Bonus task.

**Kaenthem** · 05-01-2013 09:26 AM

Wow great tasks, especially advanced task 1.

**Taffy** · 05-01-2013 12:51 PM

Advanced task 1 sounds fun. I doubt I can do the bonus task since I've been reading a lot of horror books lately, I'm sure things would go wrong. :p

Basic Task ii - Tell a DC that he/she isn't real. Explain what happens next.

This never ends up well for me sigh xD

**Oceandrop** · 05-01-2013 04:59 PM

I will definitely try get the bonus task one done because I can't imagine how it will feel like at all, so I am excited what my subconscious will come up with. Good luck & fun to you all

**Flex** · 05-01-2013 06:09 PM

Definitely going after basic ii and advanced i in my next lucid! Maybe I'll tell some fairy shes not real then take her out on a date to make it up to her.

**Phased** · 05-01-2013 06:19 PM

These are some nice ones! I'll be giving them a shot for sure.

**Klikko** · 05-01-2013 08:36 PM

Don't push too hard when you try to lay an egg, or you may just push something out...

**Scionox** · 05-01-2013 09:11 PM

Definitely have plans for this and hopefully will have more success than previous month.

All I heard was bonus points.

**Arkadast** · 05-02-2013 12:39 AM

Yay! My advanced ii idea was added!

**anderj101** · 05-02-2013 01:34 AM

Excellent tasks this month.

**OpheliaBlue** · 05-02-2013 01:45 AM

Praise the lucid task club! They come up with the darndest things..

I'm laying something for sure this month.

**Rozollo** · 05-02-2013 03:04 AM

Since I was on fire this weekend, I think this advanced task is in my wheelhouse. Shame I missed last month, but time to keep it going.

**CanisLucidus** · 05-02-2013 03:23 PM

Success on the "tell a DC they're not real" task!

"Good idea! Hey kid," I say, addressing a boy of about 11, "you're not real."

"Nuh-uhh..." the kid counters, looking cross and uncomfortable. Okay, that should be good for a Basic completion, but I'm looking for more.

Now I address a bearded man in his mid-60s, who I assume is the boy's grandfather. "You're not real. This is all happening inside my dream."

"Nonsense," the grandfather says, "you're not real. I'll prove it." He flicks me on the left arm, looking proud of himself. I counterargue by levitating him a couple of feet off of the ground and setting him back down. He blubbers for a moment, then looks off at one of the cave walls, mentally processing this existential crisis. I feel a little bad for him.

In the same dream, I failed the advanced task when I tried to convince NewArtemis to transform into a werewolf and go killing. Instead she turned into a big black dog and jumped in a pool.

Full dream for both attempts: The Night of the Weredog - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Ew, I'm probably going to get nightmares just thinking about it. Anyway if I do try the task, would coughing it up count? That's probably the only way I'd even bother attempting it. > w <;;

**ENlGMA** · 05-02-2013 08:55 PM

Gonna try to pull my arm off and see what happens. I'll report back.

**poptartian121** · 05-02-2013 10:37 PM

Just goes to show that you need to read the task of the month BEFORE going to sleep. Had a lucid in which I tore off my left index finger and then did absolutely nothing with it.

Ah well. At least my dry streak has been replaced with an amazing streak. three out of the last four nights has had a lucid dream.

**PennyRoyal** · 05-03-2013 03:45 PM

After I knock out my personal goals for May I'll definitely try my hand at ruining a DCs day by letting them know they are a figment of my imagination

**ENlGMA** · 05-03-2013 04:11 PM

So this morning I performed my WILD tech, knowing that as soon as I was dreaming I would do the bonus task. So after the vibrations ended I sat up in bed and immediately grasped the index finger of my left hand in my right, and without hesitation pulled it off. I was expecting it not to hurt and it didn't, but funnily enough when I looked at the base of the finger and the place where it came off from, instead of bone and blood it was shaped like lego blocks!!! This caused me to laugh out loud. With the finger in my right hand, I closed my fist around it and tried to turn it blue, but when I opened my hand only the nail was blue (weird). Feeling a little sad at my lack of control I shoved the finger back into my hand. It felt very strange. After that I did some non-related things until I woke up!!

Well that's it I guess. Gonna go for more tasks.

**Graywolf** · 05-03-2013 05:09 PM

Haha I think basic task 1 sounds kind of awkward to describe but I'll try it and advanced task 1

**OpheliaBlue** · 05-03-2013 05:14 PM

Congrats Enigma! Dang, I thought folks would have a really hard time with that one. You guys ain't scared of nuthin!

Gotta come from the tushie!

**Taffy** · 05-03-2013 05:40 PM

Ok, probably going to pass on that one then.

**KarmaSangye** · 05-04-2013 12:55 AM

*I became lucid again standing in my kitchen. I thought I should try to lay and egg! As I did this it felt like I was going to shit on my self so I stopped, because I am pretty sure I would shit in physical haha!(Next time I'll try a different way haha)

Can't wait to try other one!
