Thread: Task of the Month for July 2015

or SOMEthing!

I don't get why sometimes I become lucid and completely forget about the ToTM's or even about my waking life... it's just like: "It's a dream, Great!! Now I can finish this business faster... ok, some levitation here... Uhmmm... Flying?? Not this time... Oh, that guy is bothering me... Click! Ok, gone..."

Haha, happens to us all. Well, me for sure.

I was just talking to goonerdreams earlier today about something similar. And we talked about making the plan of having a small list of goals ready to go, prior to inducing the LD. It can be something like the totms, but it can be even more simple: count fingers, rub hands together, look at the ceiling and then the floor, touch objects around you, walk around a bit, etc. You know, stuff that you can do irl anyway. This is not just for "stabilization," rather having that plan right when you start the LD so you don't go straight to flying or getting distracted by DCs. Just forming an intimate relationship with the details of your dream self and your dream setting right from the start. I feel like it engages your rational thinking skills more, so the dream doesn't end up speeding by you all crazy and out of control like.

I hope I phrased this well.

(hahaha)

And report back here if a dream character obliges.

This thread is for totms and totm comments only, sorry ebbtide

Ok... it's time to hit the blankets.. hope to get a nice lucid and perhaps get into some Milo Manara paintings before the month is over

Bädäm! first Advanced Task? Check Lucid Dreaming is awsome!

Spoiler for Advanced Task II:

some NLD.... i then go into the kitchen and the kitchen is flooded. there is a swirl like in a waterpark. A DC jumps in and says he want to pee in it... i first think this might be to cold but then start undressing myself and jump in too. after a round he picks me up and we make some choreography. after another round suddenly the water is gone and we stand outside on a dry field. we wonder how this could happen and i get lucid. i do a nosepinch but dont even remember what the result was because i am sure that this is a dream. i tell him this is a dream and he confirm it. he talks a lot more blabla but i just leave him and remember my task: i want to speak to a stone i pass some girls and for a sec i think about talking to them but i dont want to get distracted. i pick up a headbig stone and place it some feet away. there are two other stones one as big as mine and one hiphigh. for a sec i am confused with which stone i should talk but i decide to talk to mine i say hello. nothing. i say hallo again but pretty quietly. again nothing. i look more precisely at the stone and see something that might be a face (but not just like a detailed finished face but more like you look at woodchip wallpaper and might see a face) i ask the stone what are you. and the stone answers: i am a turtle. i ask: are you sure? you dont look like one. and he answers well what colour do i have? i look and answer: red, the stone is red. and the tourtle answers hmm well maby... i have what i wanted and turn around. i go to a DC because i want the turtle to get into the lexicon or something and shortly after i wake up

Guys, remember that you can vote for next month´s task if you complete one or more this month!

Voting polls will close tomorrow, so you still got a chance!

Became lucid last night... went in front of a mirror to see myself turned into somebody completely different dancing and singing something like: "The task of the Month... mmh mmmh.. getting into a painting... *I'm starting to feel the texture around*... Milo Manara... woohooo... This one is going to be epic... *I start to look for a painting somewhere around*... " Until somebody started to make so much noise on the bed and woke me up because of it was going too cold and broke every one of my attempts to get back into the dream with her movements!!!!

So close Box, too bad about the awakening! Congrats on the lucid though!

I wanted to do another task before the month was up... here's my mysterious seed task from last night!

Spoiler for Basic Task i:

I wandered outside, where the weather was unexpectedly cold and rainy. There was a small area covered by a pergola outside the door, so I stayed there where it was dry.
I pulled a large, white seed from my imaginary pocket, and planted it near my feet. I covered over it with soil, which felt damp, despite being in the undercover area. I moved my hands over the planted seed and made water sprinkle out from my palms. In a wizardly tone, I exclaimed, "Now, growwwwww!"
As I did, the plant started growing, beginning with a green stem that sprouted little stalks and buds, and then a yellow soursob bloomed on top.
The stem kept growing and became thicker until it was a solid tree trunk. I directed my hands towards the sky, and the tree grew taller and broke through the pergola on its way out.
The tree became huge, and sprouted branches at the top in a symmetrical formation, with only a single layer making a circle around the tree, leaving the top-middle part bare. The branches bent slightly downwards in a banana shape, and each had a bunch of leaves at the end that were unnaturally bright and vivid green. Each branch had leaves of a single colour, but the shade varied between the branches, with 3-4 colours in total that repeated every few branches.
The tree stayed like that for a moment and I wondered if it had finished growing, but then a large number of branches burst from the top of the tree, filling out the bare section and making the top magnificently tall and completely covered.
The whole process seemed very magical, and I think there were light trails swirling around the tree like fairy dust as it grew.

Full DJ

A lot late but here's this month's installment of basic and advanced tasks:

Cute flowers - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
Expensive Restaurant - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
Blanket lady - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Completed the bonus task about a week ago without realizing it. Here is the dream, I will post my lucids in my DJ here from now on.

A dream figure who is a girl leaps out of the picture and suggests that I go in with her. I jump in the picture and find myself looking at another picture of a live scene of a land of lighting and tornados somewhere in a forest. It was weird I had jumped through the picture but instead was seeing everything in the picture from a different plane. Very interesting dream, I wake up shortly after this.

Alright.......Where'd you hide them

^^ I thought I was the only one...

New tasks are up! Good luck everyone!

Dewinging tonight or tomorrow night. Tonight I'm watching my son perform in Cinderella in Granbury, not sure when I'll be back. So tomorrow after work at the latest.

He's a 'town crier'. I'll post pics

Thanks!

I had some PC issues, so thanks for jumping in!
