Task of the Month for March 2014

**kilham** · 03-05-2014 04:38 PM

My case was very strangely done too, I don't even know if this deserves wings, but anyway I'll share it:

It was early in the morning and I managed to WILD, I still have problems with the lack of vision, or touch, but anyway... when I managed to be completely in a dream environment I saw many people dancing in a line, I joined them a moment, then I remembered it was already daytime for a shared dreaming attempt so I wanted to try something quick, like a basic TOTM before going into my list of things I want to try in LD. I asked a woman what was her middle name and she transformed into an empty bottle of water. When I turned around there where no DC's left, only empty bottles of water with names on them. I grab one and asked it the same question (not a very smart thing to do, I'll even doubt my lucidity), of course I didn't get any answer with them, I didn't want to change the dream scene because I could wake up, so I thought that maybe I'll just need to be polite, so I took another bottle with the name "Angelica on it" and said "excuse me, could you please tell me your middle name?".
The bottle transformed into a young woman who answered "Whe don't know what a middle name is". I gave her an example and se said "Uh, I see... but I don't have a middle name". Happy enough with her answer and thinking about how difficult this simple TOTM turned out I thanked her and doubted between waking up to write it or continue with the dream. I'm always tempted by the second option, so I plunged to change dream scene, and I guess I lost lucidity because I remember the next two dreams but I wasn't lucid there.

Could it be possible to dream that you are lucid while you're not?? I believe I was lucid but wtf about talking with bottles of water???. During the dream it also came to my mind that this kind of things happen during WILD, many things are difficult to control, it's not as easy as in DILD, at least for me. I'm sure I'll try this quick basic task again, and I'm still in for the bonus task!

**GenFalcon** · 03-05-2014 05:05 PM

yes Kilham

Ill give you a prime example.... this was a dream i had a few weeks ago

I find myself in a living room of some kind sitting there with my fiance. She is talking to me about how she doesnt believe in Lucid dreaming and that its dumb and fake. I tell her that i have to disagree as right now I am lucid dreaming(im not really) I tell her that i can prove it to her by simply playing a few games with her and I can still win because I can control the dream as I am dreaming it. We turn on an old nintendo and put in a few games. One of them was a racing game We played it and i closed my eyes and kept racing and won the game I opened them and said see look i could see the turns in my head because I was controling it. We then put in another game and it was a tank shooting game. I closed my eyes but this time it was harder to control I could tell i was missing several shots due to the fact that my tank and another tank looked so much alike I cheated and peeked and saw which one i was and closed my eyes again and then destroyed the game by shooting every tank and blowing them instantly. I smiled and opened my eyes and told her that I wasnt lieing and that I was lucid dreaming and sharing the dream with her. She finnaly agreed and we just went about doing random things.

**AnotherDreamer** · 03-05-2014 05:44 PM

I did the basics i and ii - Got lucid outside my house and there were people everywhere wearing green, i remembered the easy tasks. I asked a woman her middle name and she said: Rebecca, I killed my parents. So I slowly backed away from her and then looked for someone not wearing green to pinch. I must have seen 30+ people go by that all had green on and then I saw this big, beautiful, black woman that wasn't wearing any green. I walked up behind her and pinched her butt. She turned around and gave me this look like, "oh no you didn't".

Then I asked her if she could help me get abducted by aliens. She said, "Are you Suuure?" Hell yea I was sure. A bright light appeared around me but then I woke up.

**Sibyline** · 03-05-2014 08:11 PM

That was funny, anotherdreamer.

Tell me, do you people get away with pinching people's butts on St. Patrick's day IRL? Or do you just spice it up in dreams? I gather that the pinching tradition in American - certainly not Irish, but it certainly wouldn't be acceptable here, not even on the arm.

**OpheliaBlue** · 03-05-2014 08:38 PM

We definitely pinch, but doesn't have to be on the butt.

And HAHA anotherdreamer!! That lady is you dream guide. Forever.

I don't think would pinch HER on the butt in real life..Drunks may pinch a waitress butt in a bar somewhere but it's considered very low class..

This sure is a busy place so early in the month..
I was just curious, I never did a bonus task.. Is there any special merit for it or just another task to do, I mean like I can do both basics easily but both advanced have hangups for me, I never did much on Roman History and although "Alice In Wonderland" was written from a lucid dream there's little available to research except childhood memories and that was a long time ago.., Just wondering

**OpheliaBlue** · 03-06-2014 01:56 AM

Actually for bonus I just award both sets of wings.

**OpheliaBlue** · 03-06-2014 06:39 AM

Ah yessss, the obligatory beer, how could I have forgotten

**Sibyline** · 03-06-2014 07:43 AM

I just want to get a pair of wings - any pair of wings - in the first half of the month, for once. That's my humble ambition.

(No, of course that didn't make me lucid. Me and Ringo hang out all the time! )

We all want you to get wings so you can come fly with us but "Ringo" ?
Just repeat my name three times like in the movie "Beetlejuice" before you go to sleep and I will be there instead of "Ringo" and you will become lucid and pinch me and then OB will wing you and we can all fly for the whole month,

( That's hogwash of course

)

Tell me about it. Heading on 2 weeks since last LD, I've got the no-lucid-grumpies now.

**INeverWakeUp** · 03-06-2014 03:37 PM

Had my first lucid in over two months last night, but I sadly didn't do the TOTM. Drove a fancy car though.

Ah, you shouldn't have said that last bit. If I had believed you, it would have happened!

Anyway... I'm not sure it would be wise for me to share a dream with you. I've seen what you get up to. I would definitely need a chaperone.

**woblybil** · 03-07-2014 07:05 AM

Were always pretty much the same bunch every month..I'm going advertising

I'm going to troll about with my wings posting on threads where I find no wings figuring they will see them and wonder "Where'd he get those wings? I want some too" and click on them and decide to try us...

I always read the threads and try to attempt the ToTM, just haven't been able to do that yet. I shall accomplish it this month, though!

Yeah - and it helps a lot to go on here and announce you're going to try.
I guess, if you just read passively and hope, you might get something privately - that's less effective.

I got a little bit of almost space-ship action in two nights ago - that snowman business took me three dreams as well, and that was much less complex.
Been getting lucid out of nowhere twice lately - no dream-sign or RC or daytime stuff beforehand.
But only very short ones.

Last one I got as far as to transform a garage partly into a hangar and opening a huge door from inside with my mind, in the firm expectation* of finding a spaceship outside.
Happy about the door, since I still tend to have problems with such manoeuvres.
Was dark outside and I found a green military tank.

Well - and then I ran into stupid problems with illusory urinary urge surges - happy about having been as lucid as to remember, that it is most probably really illusory - drawing on two memories from previous instances - deciding to help myself in dreamland, since I deemed the bedding safe.
But I guess giving in to something as primal quenched that little meta-conscious flame in my DLPFC - found myself in a most bizarre situation, where I had somehow entered the tank, climbed to an upper department and inadvertently peed on a secret military mission guy in a lower department.
This was not greeted with enthusiasm - very embarrassing.

*Next time not only expectation - I had much better results with BrandonBoss' pretend remembering, now I think of it.

**Sibyline** · 03-07-2014 04:07 PM

Good idea, Wobly. I wonder if we could get a mouse-over text on the wings?

A few months back I accidentally pee'd on a huge black Whachamacallit...(Gotta think) Basilisk, The worst of all the hellish demons..

And he was really... Pissed I guess you'd say.. But he was far too busy smoldering and screeching and such to worry about me anymore

**Smashem** · 03-08-2014 03:21 PM

Aand I got this Totm to break my terrible dry spell - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

randim thoughts led me to ld wishing I could have one and one begins. I phase out of the car I was in and run down the highway to see someone with a color changing shirt. So when I pinch her for the totm she says "now which arm do I cut off?"

That was not expected. I just leave. At the end, I thought I should have told her 'both' so there could be an unconscios body and I could reference a brawl machinima.

**501** · 03-08-2014 07:33 PM

Well February was a bit dry for me for lucids and I was hell bent on doing the dog biscuit and giving heart one last month. I actually did the dog biscuit and was headed to do the St. Patties day one but woke before I got to DCs that were upstairs. So I at least will share the dog treat one from last months TOTM. Excerpt below.

I then decided to find some dog biscuits to do the task from last month. I went into one cabinet which had pots and pans. Then I told myself they were in this cabinet and opened a top one and there were a bunch of different bagged items. I went through a few of them not recognizing dog treats and then again I thought they are here in the back. I grabbed a yellow bag and tried to read it but couldn't make anything out. I knew they were either cat or dog treats. This will do. I opened it up and got a handful out. They were shaped like animals, kind of looked like the animal crackers but they had the color of a salami type meat. Pink with some of the white specks riddled through them. I dropped a couple on the floor for the dogs that were by me and then popped one in my mouth. It tasted meaty, nothing amazing or gross, just there really.

Ill get my wings this month! Tonight is the plan! Full dream below.

FA Lucid, in the fridge again and TOTM from FEB - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

**fogelbise** · 03-08-2014 10:46 PM

Though it doesn't count for this month I thought I would report back that I went ahead a did the True Love basic from last month:

Competition #17, Night 1, Good Start, Sky DS DILD, Bully, Teleport, City Flight - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Excerpt: I asked a random female DC "Who is my true love?...give me their name please?" She responded "L" (spelled out first name hidden here for privacy). I immediately thought of my very first girlfriend, she had the same name "but I haven't thought about her in years and I broke up with her and I never thought of her as that special...could it be a different 'L' " I thought during the dream.

**Nfri** · 03-09-2014 08:03 PM

Basic task ii completed!

8. 3. 2014 - 3x DILD - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

**INeverWakeUp** · 03-10-2014 01:29 AM

Sorry to be off topic, but man I had a pretty fucking intense dream this afternoon. It was kind of like the purge in a way. I just journaled it if anyone would like to read it. I really enjoyed the dream because of the detail and how realistic it was which goes to show how cool the All Day Awareness(ADA) practice is!

But I guess to be on topic, I really hope I have a lucid tonight because the Ides of March are approaching and I must save Caesar!
