Task of the Month for September 2013

**OpheliaBlue** · 09-02-2013 04:54 PM

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 - Sing the "ABC" song.
Basic Task ii - Call a DC on the phone and ask them a question/have a conversation.

Advanced Task i - Sneak into the boys/girls locker room and see what the DCs do.
Advanced Task ii - Walk up the wall, then walk on the ceiling.

BONUS TASK!! - Play a game of Quidditch.

Me sneak into the girls locker room ? Perish the thought

**OpheliaBlue** · 09-02-2013 07:49 PM

I really really want to walk on the wall.

**bemistaken** · 09-02-2013 08:11 PM

Ooh! Like Fred Astaire dancing up the wall and then dancing on the ceiling?! If you can't tell by now, I LOVE Fred Astaire...what a sweet task!

**SGilley** · 09-02-2013 08:58 PM

Can't wait to try these!

**INeverWakeUp** · 09-02-2013 09:02 PM

Lol. And you know, the basic task from last month was yours too, don't you remember? Heck, it was the most accomplished task of August 2013!!

**Sivason** · 09-02-2013 09:59 PM

I like sitting upside down on the ceiling and chanting "Nam Me-o-ho Renge' Kyo" while doing complicated hand mudras. It taxes my concentration and is one of my go too lucid tasks. I also think the ABC song is so deeply imbedded in everyone's mind that it is a truly accomplishable task. Hmmm, I here by challenge myself to walk up a wall across the ceiling,,, then sit hanging from the ceiling and sing a merry round of ABC.

Sounds fun! Thanks for the idea!

Edit: If I snuck into a locker and then did it, it would be much cooler.

Oh? You posted it in the task club so I assumed it was your idea.

**fogelbise** · 09-02-2013 11:02 PM

Thank you for creating and organizing these! I have found one or two of these that inspires me to keep advancing!

**Sivason** · 09-02-2013 11:03 PM

Is it ok to 'know' in advanced the locker room girls will preform a naked rock opera in response to my ABC song? (LOL) Or is that too controlling? It would be funny to watch.

Lol sivason, you can combine them how ever you want

If I have any luck walking up the wall, I'll sing the ABC song on my way up.

**Wurlman** · 09-03-2013 02:52 AM

My mom said I used to bounce of the walls now I just have to learn how to walk on them.....

**SuperOhm** · 09-03-2013 01:52 PM

Advanced ii Success!!

That was pretty quick. My first thought looking over this list was that the second advanced task seemed the easiest to me. Interestingly, I've gotten pretty good at reminding myself of the tasks before I go to sleep but couldn't remember them last night. I figured that was okay because I had stayed up late and really just needed to focus on getting some good deep sleep. I became lucid anyway, and decided that I might as well give it a shot.

I approached walking on the walls and ceiling the same way I approach flying. It's all about moving through a space in an unconventional way, so it should use similar parts of the brain and thus "feel" roughly similar. The only problem I had with this approach was that my feet had a tendency to slip. I might try a few other tricks to accomplish this one to see if I can get different and/or better results. Though I'll probably go through the other tasks first before revisiting this one.

Full dream journal entry here.

Also, I just realized something: do I need to complete both basic tasks before an advanced task in order for this to count?

**fogelbise** · 09-03-2013 05:47 PM

upon becoming lucid I tried to do one of the tasks, the locker room. I was able to create the door with the sign "women's locker room"(I think it said) but had trouble creating the locker room inside and just had vague, blurry images of women so will try again. I could have went right back in if I caught my false awakening because I went straight into a false awakening that I thought was real...ended up having two false awakenings before actually waking up.

SuperOhm...I think yours counts, but I am new to this thread.double check the info in the heading there are few things you need to do to submit your success.

**OpheliaBlue** · 09-03-2013 10:24 PM

Congrats on the advanced TOTM SuperOhm! And great first attempt there fogelbise.

Nah you can do them in any order, do as many or as few as you like, or even combine them in a single LD, sivason-style

**Zyangur** · 09-04-2013 03:54 AM

Play Quidditch :O . Sounds like an awesome task, as well as all the others

Now I know my ABC's...

What a WILD morning! - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

**NyxCC** · 09-04-2013 07:27 PM

Got advanced ii!

This was somewhat strange because I specifically WILDed to do TOTY but ended up walking on the wall after floating in my room, so decided to do the whole thing properly and stripped as well.

Wall walking and stripping

Found it very pleasurable! Hope to be able to do it again sometime.

**woblybil** · 09-04-2013 07:34 PM

I'm going to hope I got Advanced 1... I need wings, Tired of walking ......

Fail #1

I thought I would be first but no, Somebody beat me already ...
9/04 I hope a girls beach changing house will do

3:30am For the sake of the task I figured it would be easy to raid the beach house at a state park lake where I used to work part time, It seemed as soon as my head hit the pillow

**OpheliaBlue** · 09-05-2013 02:57 AM

Yay, it totally counts @ woblybil. I never said it had to be at a school.

Well done all you guys!! I'm really anxious to try the walking on walls while singing my ABCs. Congrats!!

**OpheliaBlue** · 09-05-2013 08:37 PM

Triple hitter! GAH it was the locker room one I couldn't remember lol. I probably would have run out of time anyway.
