Task of the Month for August 2015

Yes, I was trying to fish in the toilet. That's where my dream control is right now!

Must keep up tradition, another music non-lucid:

Quote:

---

I'm playing a solo, accompanying a ballet procession which is crossing a bridge: they're moving to my left, and I move to the right. My wife criticizes my playing and says I'm holding the notes too long, then she takes over (on piano?) and keeps playing. I feel sort of foolish holding my instrument without playing, so I forlornly try out a few notes.

Too bad that didn't work. That would have been awesome!

Woow best Lucid ever with multiple goals and super dreamcontrol and really nice self-confidence.
I managed to complete Advanced "Ride a dino" and Bonus Task. First time bonus task YAY again ;)
the LD was so long and controled that for the first time i really could work and try some things out. thats what i was looking for for some time now. i hope i could learn something from it so my future lucids will be similar!

here are the totm relevant parts

Spoiler for Ride a Dino:

i think about what to do next and the TOTM´s come in my head. i can remember riding a dino and go fishing but i alrdy have basic wings so i decide to ride some dinos. i think about how i could manage this and just try like i did with P. i expect in front of me some dinos. on the first try it dont work. i decide to turn my back and think about dinos that are behind me i just have a vague imagination of a dino and that i want to sit on it. i turn back again but instead of dinos there are three horses which are mostly black or dark brown. my friend is laughing and we aproach them. i turn again and this time i think more specific about some little t-rexes and as i turn they turned into hip high little t-rexes but they act still shy like horses or dogs. i whistle and one of them is coming to me. i climb on him and we start to ride. he is uncomfortable because his hip bones push into my ass. as i think about it that they are more like little dogs i am riding on he morphs into a dog. nonetheless i still riding him and we jump over a fence. someone wants something from me but i just ignore him and ride here and there. i think we enter then a rail station?!

Spoiler for Black Hole:

i am infront of a railstation and think about what to do next. the friend of mine is still there. i think about the black hole task and remember that some of you dont needed to fly into space but just summon a black hole somewhere. again i think about that somewhere behind me is a black hole and i then turn around and keep running because i know that it is just around the corner of the station. i keep running and i see the black hole. it is 1.5 to 2 meters big and is more like a portal transparent and in the middle black and dark. i jump in and while jumping asking myself where i will land?
i jump through it, roll of and i am still there. in the first moment i think "him this was more boring than expected but then time slowed down and everything got a hint of blue or yellow. the effect didnt last long and everything got normal again.

i did my first DJ entry because it was such a memorable event for me. maby some of you want to look inside ;)
Totm´s Ride a dino, Black hole, new level of dreamcontrol, some caveman action - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

i really thank Frying man for his inspiration some days ago! :)

^^ Congrats, and great job!

I just write these tasks in my dream journal as August ToTM. I am yet to lucid dream after I joined DV. Along with my other tasks let me see if I do these tasks as well, when I lucid dream! :chuckle:

I completed Basic Task 1 last night:

Spoiler for Dream:

I was at a crowded outdoor bus and train station waiting for a bus, and I wandered around to different parts of the station as I waited. In one part, I met up with someone who appraised some Magic cards I wanted to sell. I also saw two people who wanted me to help them with their physics problem sets, but I wasn't familiar with the material the problem sets were about. The bus came and I got on. I thought I might be dreaming, so I pinched my nose and could still breathe through it, and this made me sure I was. I got off the bus at a school and went inside. I went into a room where a dance party was happening, although I was only the second person other than the performer to show up. The performer was playing the piano in a Latin style. I danced with the other person, and after a little while more people came and started dancing.

I didn't have very much dream control and didn't even consciously remember that listening to music was a Task of the Month. I just felt like that was where I was supposed to go.

Hey Ophelia, am I just not patient enough or did you forget my wings? :laughhard:
I know it's kind of nothing worth but I'm kind of still proud of it xD

The first one, my dear.

You see, I had to miss the Wing Sorting Ceremony yesterday, due to the fact that I received an urgent Owl from the Ministry and I had to leave immediately.

I completed the moon rock eating task! Here's the dream where it happened (it was long, so I didn't post the whole thing, just the part where I was lucid and did the task). I tried jumping into a black hole, too, but I didn't find one. It's definitely my next goal, though.

I am lucid. Immediately, I remember the tasks, and I summon a door to try to get to the moon. I open it, but it just shows me some weird red spikes area. I close it and open again, demanding the moon, but it doesn't work and the same landscape shows up. I give up, look up at the sky and see the moon, and I will myself to "nyoom" towards it. It works, and I am in space, looking down at the Earth and moon. I nyoom myself to the moon, and I barely have time to look around before taking a moon rock, yelling YOLO, and stuffing it in my mouth. It's one of those rocks that turn to dust easily when broken, and it tastes like mint chewing gum. Honestly, it doesn't taste that bad. I quickly eat some more and leave. After getting back to the Earth, I find myself in a room with miniature representations of different planets. Something happens between two DCs in the room, and I ignore them and look at the miniature Earth and moon. There is apparently someone else with me, and I glance at them, take a step back and jump straight into the miniature. It takes me to the moon again, which is not what I want (but I do pick up some more delicious moon rocks while I'm there). I go back to the room somehow by jumping out of the miniature, and turn into some sort of doctor/scientist person (I don't get it either). I create a portal to space in the wall and jump into it, trying to look for a black hole. I desperately look around for a black hole, but I don't see any and I lose lucidity quickly.

Sadly, I was kind of in a rush in the dream and didn't take the time to make it more vivid because I was worried I would wake up. I was lucid, just not fully aware that I need to chill and stabilize =P I didn't even take the time to look around an actual realistic looking space for once because I was so busy looking for a black hole! It's been my goal for a while now to go to space, too =(
Anyways, I definitely want to try the other tasks. Who knows what could happen when you jump through a black hole or go for a dream fishing trip?

Checking in with my daily Basic(I) total miss:

Anyways, I definitely want to try the other tasks. Who knows what could happen when you jump through a block hole or go for a dream fishing trip?

EDIT: Sorry, I tried to make the dream a spoiler but I have no idea how to do that. Whoops..

Hey congratulations to yor task. i really want to go to space and to the moon to. your approach is a nice one which i will consider to try too. i always was fixated to fly there but go through a door or a minature is a good idea which could help me to overcome my mindblockade.
its cool to see how other people approach tasks :D btw the black hole thing? i just expected that it is around the corner and tada it was there and i could jump right into without going to space for it ;)

spoilers btw you can do by clicking down right on "go advanced" and then you find the button in the down line left of the s symbol

Finally got Basic 1 done! Thanks to the ongoing competition :)
>>DJ<<

Basically I just turned the car stereo on and the music from one of my daughter's repetitive toys came on (she's a toddler lol)
I'll have to make a recording of the song in a little while and post a link :P

I rode a dinosaur.

I wanted to summon a velociraptor. I put my hand behind my back and a dino bit it. I turn around and see a green dinosaur about as big as me. Something a 7 year old would draw. I got on it's back and rode it at a fair speed through the house and out the front door.

Thanks! I'll definitely try your technique for the black hole. Hopefully it'll work and I won't just jump straight into the floor =P
I tried to do the spoiler thing, but when I did it it didn't work. I'm probably just doing it wrong though..

Oh man, reading all these moon rock eating and black holes experiences has been way more fun than anticipated. XD

Thanks for the wings, Ophelia!

Go on....

I'm new, I dont quite get it
If I want to do Adv task II then I got to complete those before II ?
I'm also up for the black hole experience since my friend is a lucid dreamer and made a lot of portals when he was dreaming so its pretty nice...

I became lucid and traveled to Jurassic world to mess with dinosaurs but I totally forgot to ride one, dangit!
