Task of the Month for August 2015

**PercyLucid** · 07-28-2015 06:30 PM

NEW: Do you have a Task of the Month suggestion that you would love to get chosen?
Now you have the chance to suggest new tasks of the month by clicking the
Future Task of the Month Suggestion Thread.
If you complete a current TOTM, you will be able to vote on suggestions for the next month!

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 vote for submitted suggestions for the next month's tasks. Access to the Lucid Task Club will also grant you early access to the next month's tasks, giving you a 2-3 day window to keep your wings for the following month.

Tasks for this month:

Basic Task i - Go to a concert/music store and listen to some music. Describe the experience as best you can. (BrotherGoose)
Basic Task ii - Go fishing! Describe what you catch. (Dolphin)

Advanced Task i - Ride a dino (OpheliaBlue)

Love those tasks!

**Aristaeus** · 07-29-2015 04:17 AM

Hmm, the tasks are simple, yet intriguing. Too hard to pick a favourite. [Shrugs] S'pose I'll just do them all, assuming I don't hit a dry spell.

**KestrelKat** · 07-30-2015 05:42 AM

Aiming for that blackhole and moon rock tonight!

Let's hope the Nightmare on Elm Street marathon Zukin and I have been pulling doesn't influence my dreams =w=

**AnotherDreamer** · 07-30-2015 09:57 AM

I completed the Advanced Task ii and the Bonus Task, but I'm not very happy with the bonus task so maybe I'll try to do it again later.

Chocolate Chip Moon Cookies! MMMMMMMmmm

Spoiler for Eat a Moon Rock:

Spoiler for Fall Into a Black Hole:

It's gonna be MEEEEEEE!!!

**FryingMan** · 07-31-2015 09:23 AM

They've (the on-theme non-lucids) begun!

In orchestra rehearsal, the conductor is all "artistic" but his motions are all over the place, no downbeats are evident anywhere in all his wild gesticulations, "are you in 2 or in 4!?" I ask repeatedly. He finally retorts, exasperated, "you have to *listen* to the music and you'll *hear* the downbeats!" (I think this is a cop-out). (music)

Putting together my instrument, some people walk by and tell me I've been specially invited to Dubai to play. I'm honored but I tell some guy I need to make sure this isn't a set-up because of my outspoken published views on Israel. Then I imagine myself playing the slow movement of a well-known concerto for my instrument -- I hear myself and my tone is lovely, but I realize I'm playing it way under-tempo and I could be criticized for this, I imagine playing it faster but I like really milking every note, the audience must love it! (music)

I'm walking around singing a popular song, I hear my voice and I'm really nailing it, beautiful tone, but I forget some words, a girl near by reminds me of them. Then a line of girls are singing, one has lost a little (contact lens?), another girl picks it up off the ground and hands it to her, who them promptly pops it into her mouth (music, eat a moon rock?)!

**OpheliaBlue** · 08-01-2015 09:44 PM

Lol what did you say there m8?

**Box77** · 08-01-2015 10:08 PM

I don't know why my dreaming mind likes to play those jokes on me every time I'm swimming surrounded by such lovely/tasty creatures... at the end I have to calm myself down forcing my logic to the extreme: "Calm down buddy boy, it's not going to eat you, it's just one of them who grew a little bit more than usual..."

They are huge!!!!!

**PercyLucid** · 08-02-2015 11:26 AM

Have fun guys!!!

I had a small PC issue right on the 31st lol... good luck!

**Patience108** · 08-02-2015 01:36 PM

Yes it would be great to fall into a black hole while riding a dino

we could keep each other company while we are surging wherever we are surging to

**Box77** · 08-02-2015 02:17 PM

Alright, last night became lucid for a while to remember the black hole task. So technically somehow I completed the task although it was not what I was expecting for: .../turn on my back and start running up the street to realize the whole thing was a dream. I remember the black hole task, so I decide to summon a black hole right here to jump in. Faster than I was expecting a huge black bubble swallows the city the way similar to the Akira scene where the explosion swallows the city

I don't have much time to jump inside since it swallowed the ground I'm stepping on really fast. I ended up indefinitely somersaulting forwards in the dark until I woke up/...

**LouaiB** · 08-02-2015 08:05 PM

I love the music task!! Definetly gonna become a regular ToTM participant! :^D

**dolphin** · 08-03-2015 05:52 PM

I intended to do the fishing task but I forgot it during the dream, even though I was on a boat on the ocean like I intended. I had fun swimming, though!

I should get a booby prize...I tried fishing and threw the sinker through a window

PS: I was standing inside of a store with a lake outside and for some reason figured I could fish from there so I threw out the line and it popped a hole just the size of the sinker in the window and then flew on out into the lake, Then I woke up

**OpheliaBlue** · 08-03-2015 08:58 PM

Lol woblybil..

Dewinging tonight I promise. Got distracted last night

**anderj101** · 08-04-2015 04:13 AM

I don't know about you, but I want to see if moon rocks stay crunchy in milk.

**FryingMan** · 08-04-2015 10:16 AM

Argh, great LD last night and couldn't remember a single task!

"OK! TOTM time. The task are……uh….Yeah it's coming to me now, they're: …..hmmm…., OK, any second now…. Hey look at that girl over there…"

OK, everybody (especially me), repeat after me (put to a cheer rhythm) (edited to make more cheer-like):

"Music Fishing Dino Rock"
"Music Fishing Dino Rock"
"Music Fishing Dino Rock"
"Black Hole!"
"Black Hole!"
"Raa Raa Raaa!"

looks like I need one of those fancy ~Dreamer~ whiteboards in my room, too! Or at least a pop-up reminder app for running on my computer.

**imazu** · 08-04-2015 01:10 PM

Signing up for Sensei's Comp has me all lucid already!!

Failed at the Bonus Task last night:

I am at my Dad's house it seems and I've become lucid I fly up and out, remembering I want to go to space and fall into a "natural" black hole. It's daytime and I can't see blackness or stars, but I figure if I fly far enough I will. I fly up at a sharp angle, not directly up though because that seems way harder. The massive open spaces of air start to freak me out, but I let go of the feeling. Everything starts to get dark and the blue fades away to reveal stars as I fly on. But, now everything starts to feel 2-dimensional and I don't feel like I'm moving anymore. I keep on trying, but the scene ends. Not sure if I wake up or get really distracted.

I don't know why, but when I cheered it out loud, it made me think of "Badgers & Mushrooms"

I like that technique though, for remembering goals in lucids.

That's the way I see it too... If I cant even remember them when I'm awake, How can I expect to remember them when I'm dreaming?
