Thread: Task of the Month for May 2013

*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!

Land of Confusion
I am lying on a towel in the middle of a green field. It is a very peaceful setting. I sit up and look around. At first I think I am alone in the field but then I see there is a man there with me. One solitary Templar. He is watching me from a distance. I figure I will ignore him but then I remember the tasks of the month. One of them is to tell a DC that they don't exist. This should be an easy one. I go over to the Templar, who seems unsure of what to expect. He says he is just there to watch, he means no harm. I say it doesn't matter. He isn't even real. He hesitates and then asks what I'm talking about. I tell him he doesn't exist. He pauses again and then says if he doesn't exist then why do I keep killing him and his friends. I ask how I can kill him if he doesn't exist. I can't kill something that doesn't exist. He pauses again. I remember the other part of the task of the month, which is to set myself on fire in front of a DC. I've already confused this Templar, why not go a bit further. I ask him if he'd like to see someone on fire. He backs away, holds his hands up, and says no, don't do that. I tell him I'm not going to set him on fire, I'm not a sociopath. I'll be the fire. I call up a small fireball and set myself on fire. It's warm but not hot. I'm on fire but not burning. The Templar just stares. He is totally speechless. He says I really am insane. I comment that I should've known. If I'm on fire he wouldn't piss on me to put me out. Typical Templar bastard. He doesn't seem to know what to respond. I hear a meow and I look down to see Grumpy Cat roasting a marshmallow on my left foot.

I summon a splash of water to extinguish my fire and then scoop up Grumpy Cat to pet the cat. Grumpy Cat submits to being picked up but looks grumpier than ever, she has a look in her eyes that says she would like to scratch my eyes out but for some reason she doesn't make any move to do so. Grumpy Cat wiggles in my arms so I put her down. She walks away, sticking her tail up as she goes as if she is flipping me the bird with her tail, telling me to fuck off. I am left alone with the confused Templar. I remember that I had been planning on checking on Nomad since I haven't heard from him for a while. I focus on opening a portal to find Nomad, and one opens. I am about to go through the portal when I wake up instead.

Yay, someone completed my lucid TotM task! Congrats, sounds like an awesome lucid!

I've been trying to summon Falkor the luckdragon for the mythological creature advanced task. I just needed a little more dream time and I would have had it. Maybe next time.

Outside, there is daylight but the sky is overcast and gray. I'm fine with that. At least it's not dark I remember my task to summon Falkor and fly to China. I walk into the street and begin whistling. I try the two finger whistle like a cattle rustler but it sounds like too much air and is faint. I try several different styles of whistles but none of them sound right and I eventually settle on calling him like a dog. "Falkor, come on boy. Faaaallllkor!" I wait with full expectation but I don't see him. I tell myself to keep moving while waiting and calling. I know the dream always fades into something else or I wake up when I am too idle. I look to the southern sky behind me. There is a red star and a wide white streak. I tell myself that that is Falkor and ignore the red star. After a second I see the white streak begin to move like a fish swimming in the sea. I wait with anticipation as I see him begin to take on more detail and slowly work his way toward me. At that moment, I suddenly and with out warning wake up.

Gosh, I just read this again! Vampire girl? Does that count for the mythological character task?

My brother, Callum, was in my dream. I looked at my hands and saw that i had six fingers, and was now lucid. I usually get excited and try to zoom off into the sky. But (because my brother and I had been talking about trying to have better control over our dreams, and agreed to not suddenly attempt flying), instead I decided to just explore my surroundings.
We then had this conversation.
Me: "Oh cool! I'm lucid! I'm gonna go for a walk, ok? You don't have to come..."
He looked kind of upset/confused.
Callum: "What? Why?"
Me: "You know. Because I'm dreaming. You don't, uh, you don't exist." I didn't want to hurt his feelings because he looked really cut.
He looked up from the ground and shrugged.
Callum: "Well... I'm just gonna come anyway..."
We then explored some nice Australian bushland, I don't know if this counts as Advanced Task i, but a managed to stop a giant grizzly bear from attacking me and convinced him to let me ride on his back. We then explored the forest a bit more and, though I had lost control by this point, fought against some earth benders from Avatar. ^_^
I really want to meet the big guy again, I feel like we could be dream buddies.

I'm not sure if this counts as Basic Task II, because I didn't exactly tell the DC that they weren't real. I just told them that the situation isn't real, that they're in my dream. You can find it here. I'm not sure if this counts though, since doesn't exactly fit the task description, but I suppose it would make an interesting read anyway.
