Thread: Task of the Month for August 2016

Once Upon a Time Life hahaha I remember when I was younger, I always thought there were millions of those little yellow bad guys running inside my body whenever I had fever...

edit: Is the sneeze task active too?

Hehehe yeah, those yellow guys are mean (but funnier than the blue bacillus hehe)

And thanks about the sneezing task, I thought you were fooling around (those yellow guys make you sneeze haha) but I see it was actually there, it was a typo so I removed it. Funny symbolism though haha.

Here attempt at bonus: http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/ibea...27-2016-76658/

OOH-OOH....I like Basic I

Completed Advanced Task I

I knew that wouldn't take long..

7/30
3:00pm
I had to clean up the final post because the orgy part was so nasty-nasty.
I had been at an orgy and it was really messy and suspected it was a dream and then went next door to a "Free Love" meeting and was paired off by an instructor to a strange young.Blonde punker girl with too tight hair, black rings around her eyes and a very pale makeup job. She had been doing something with sex too and we both smelled like week old dead trout!.... We were supposed to be getting instruction on how to meet sex partners When I just blurted out, " This is all just a big dream,would you like to stay with me for the rest of the story?"
It was obvious we were going to have oral sex immediately and I said "We gotta get cleaned up first, We smell like hell" I grabbed her hand and flew down hallways to different bathrooms with either no sink or no water in it and finally found a really dirty one that had standing water in a filthy sink but with no paper towels and I left her at the sink and went behind a short wall to a urinal to pee and thought about the urinal water but it was dry too, I got her by the wrist at the sink and we flew down more hallways lost and I looked out thru a crack in the boards of a wall and saw a familiar street below and said "I know this place, Were downtown" She asked "downtown where?" I said "I dont know but I know how to get home from here where we can do stuff" I pulled her along and asked "Still wanna do it?" She said "Yes, Lets hurry" and we took off flying down the street still dragging her by the wrist when the damn train came by again.....

(That oil train ruining my dreams is about the only use I could find for an oil pipeline)

I can't delete posts?

Have fun!!!!!!!

Ok, so it looks to me that only Woblybil has chained. Everybody else is getting clipped. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok.....I want my wings again this month.....!!!!! I like the idea of asking a DC to accompany me throughout the dream.

Good luck, everyone!

Exactly Trim away!

To the winged unchained:

It will only hurt a lot!

Now I feel guilty

Got the Basic - look through microscope task

I remember the looking through microsope task. I ask her where does she keeps her microscope. She says right under her desk. We walk over there and she looks for it for a while. It looks different than I expected when she sets it on a desk. She says I need to put my finger into a little hole so the device can collect my DNA. I'm like no way, I'm not doing that. She grabs a needle, pokes her finger with it and literraly pulls out a tiny string of DNA, haha.

I look into the microscope, not knowing what to expect. There is just blackness at first, then a black and white face of young Harry Potter appears. I'm like pffft, realy?

I was really hoping to get the airplane task and that's the one I practiced while falling asleep.

Hmmm...Gotta tell you those tasks seem pretty daunting to a beginner. In one instance, you need to conjure a microscope, and another an airplane? Jeez.

If you ask a DC to come along for the dream and they say no, Just say "It's my dream and you're coming anyway ....

I know you are being sarcastic but I have no idea why.

No sarcasm. What you consider a basic task feels kind of daunting for someone with only 20 LD's under their belt despite 2 years of genuine effort and commitment. Perhaps I should have more faith in my abilities, but simply preserving lucidity is sometimes a challenge for me at this juncture due to the infrequency of LD events.

A LD is not such a mundane occurrence when they happen on the order of once per month, which, as you can see, is my average. I've been here since April of 2014 and have 19 legitimate LD's. (I don't count anything under maybe 3 - 4 minutes).

If I managed to find or conjure up a microscope, I'd be pretty darned excited. I'm still at the stage where I wander around in the dream and merely observe or let the dream take it's own course and hope to stay engaged so it doesn't fade too quickly or result in a spontaneous awakening. I'm sure conjuring or finding specific objects must seem easy peasy to some. I'm simply focusing on that particular basic task since the others seem well beyond what I've managed to accomplish in my handful of prior lucid experiences thus far.

I hope I've explained myself well enough. I've started to look forward to these contests/tasks in the hopes that striving would bring more results. As a rank beginner I avoided them for almost two years. But, got to aim high to hit high, right? Still, I feel a little left out this month...

Dont get me wrong we probably cant compare each other because for what ever reason i have a higher lucidity rate but i started the TOTMS like 1 or two month after starting with LD. the tasks was damn difficult at the beginning but they motivated me to get lucid and they extended my lucids. if you like you can read one of my first tasks i have done. i "just" needed to climb on a tree and look around.... you cant believe how many FA and attempts it needed to just find ea tree because i couldnt fly at that time...^^ but nevertheless if i finally managed it was one of the awesomenest feelings and i was smiling at least two or three days because of my accomplishment. (Link to short entry...)

its all about the way how you approach this. when you already think: way to difficult for me i cant summon i cant stay long in a lucid you will be right (to bad ey?). you have all day long to incubate and think about how to approach a task. there are a hell lot of "lifehacks/workarounds/pointofviews" you cant summon? maybe you dont have to maybe a DC has one or maybe you just need to find a school and there you know will be some in the biology room. expectation is key and you dont need to summon that microscope or that school there you just need to find it. and when you incubate and daydream about how you do it and finaly get lucid you just do what you have already done tons of times in your head. you look around and find that school simple you already did this and oh yea there has to be the biology room you was there already (in your incubation/daydream) and if you cant find it at the first glance: ask a teacher he can show you, he might even show you how to use a microscope

the better you get at lucid dreaming the more you can do a direct approach. Microscope? behind me or in my hand easy. but at the beginning you can work with expectation and workarounds and it WORKS believe me! believe in yourself!

Trying to get back into LDing.. I'll try AT I and then see if they'll help me out with AT II!

We recently had a TOTM requiring Us to ask the dream for a dream guide. like yell out to the dream "Hey dream, I want my dream guide now"
It worked so well that I find myself doing it all the time now..If I thought of the task I could yell to the dream, "Hey dream, I need a microscope" And almost surely it would appear...(That's if I was lucid and if I remembered the task)
Just my two cents worth

failed?! attempts in basic I and advanced I

Spoiler for Basic I:

...i take of my shoes but randomly get lucid and tell her that we need to postpone this because this is probably not a good idea anyway and i have some tasks to do. i put on my shoes again stand up and leave the room. i put my hand behind my back and say "hey Fryingman take my hand" nothing happens. i move on a different place and repeat it. its not working. i get tensed and move away, i loose visuals but still feel my body inside the dream. two drawn eyes appear inside this blackness and they move there where i look too. i play around with it for some seconds but then decide i want the dream back and engage my body and rub my hands. i get back the visuals and standing outside. i again try the behind my back summon but without success. i form a funnel with my hands and shout out hey FryingMan! and one guy in a group of 3 guys shouts back here! i approach them happy and ask him: "you are fryingman?" "yepp" i jump up and hug him (damn his summoning costs me a lot of emotions xD) he is pretty big like nearly 2m? and looks big but not in fat way but trained, maybe around 40? he or the guy next to him has a black leather jacket. we walk together and i start some smalltalk like how are you. one of the guys starts talking and talking and after some time i say "hey sorry man, dont want to interrupt you but i have something going here: fryingman you know sensei pretty good yes? can you tell me a secret about him?" he answers: "oh i dont know him so good but i know him a little yes" the other guy comments something about sensei but before FM answers i wake up...

Spoiler for Advanced I:

[some more NLD i cant recall] ... move down the street in company of a woman and a older man. while walking a super tiny thought of 'when this is a dream' pops up. my awareness rises instantaniously and i am fully lucid. i do a nosepinch and its difficult to breath thru but i know i am dreaming. those two move infront of me and i tell them to go without me i will catch up. "but wait a sec" i say and pull a stone with telekinesis from a building site next to me and give it to the woman. she looks confused and like i want to shit her and she throws the stone away. [i did this to score some points maybe not fully lucid yet ]
i look behind me to the horizon. it is night and i see two buildings on the left and the right side. in the middle i can see the sky. i turn to the woman and tell her: "you see? behind me? there is no building but now you can see the tall building? in the middle? you can see it right?" i turn around and see the building i have summoned. it worked like a charm. i stand next to her and we look both at the building now.
I tell her: "now, since everything is just a picture, an image in my head i can make this building disappear just like that" i hold up my hand and move it slightly in front of the building. at the beginning not much happen but then i just imagine some more sky instead of the skyscraper and it disappears. i smile to her and she smiles too and seems to be a little impressed and not thinking that i want to kid her anymore. "now do you want to accompany me a little?" i think shortly... originally i wanted to summon a skyscraper to climb it up like spiderman but now that i unsummoned it i dont feel like put in more effort and dream time to make myself a suitable building.
i look up front and see an old not to high house. this will do i think and "my next goal is to climb up this house like spiderman" while i say so we approach the house and i imagine micro hair on my finger tips [like in the movie ] and start to touch the wall. the woman and the man seem a little confused but do as i do. at the beginning i have some problems and hold myself at edges of the house but then i dont need anything to hold on and climb purely the wall like spiderman. i climb up and for whatever reason there is a roof/ceiling there and i climb up side down. it feels a little weird and i dont know exactly what to do now. i push myself away from the ceiling and land on my feet standing in a room now.
i am in a kitchen. i think about what to do and pull a rubber ball with TK into my hand i look to the man and tell him "i will change the color of the ball." the ball is blue? now i look at it and will it to change the color to green. after a sec the color starts changing and the man screams up with enjoyment. i stop - but wait the ball turned white. i will a little more and now it changes in green. i feel satisfied.
i want to mass TK and pick up three items. the ball and two little tomatoes i try to make them levitate at the same time but have some problems with it. i dont try hard enough but instead i change the color of the two tomatoes. because of schemas they turn green like unripe ones, but i want them to be purple i look at them concentrated and it changes and changes to black and then purple. nice!
so i cant lift enough objects at a time but i could lift something very heavy. i use TK to lift up the water boiler and smash it around. the DC´s around scare up and feel a little uncomfortable but i dont care and start to find it funny to demolish the kitchen. i lift up the stove. i rip and tug around until the cables rip of with some sparks and smash it against the wall. i turn around and lift the refrigerator and throw it across the livingroom (that wasnt there before). i feel like this was enough. i lift a book and throw it a guy against his head and enter the living room.
i think around what to do and think i could teleport. i approach the window to jump out but on half the way i think it would be smarter to phase thru the wall. i turn left and run straight to the wall. for a part of a second i think about if it would be smarter to do it slowly and static but i decide to jump right thru will work fine. and i phase thru it without a problem [in opposite to some other encounters] and find myself in mid air over a street, as it seems at the height of the 5th floor or something... i am surprised because i didnt expected this and i start falling with waggy arms. while falling i reflect on my situation and tell myself i am invulnerable and my falling gets controlled and i land safely on my feet.
now it is after dusk, the street is a little wet and it smells wet and fresh. its silent like it should be in the morning hours. i draw a portal with my feet but it looks shitty so i kneel down write with my finger 'My room' draw a portal right beneath it. stand up look at it and try to push my hands in a "handstand" into the portal. nothing happens at the beginning but after some seconds i feel like my finger start to sink in like into wet mud i embrace this feeling and start to sink in completely. i am in the void but still feel like a part of me is inbetween the locations. i give it a last push and feel a litte falling and now am completely in the void. i do some tactile movements to be sure not to wake up. i see some white noise while i think about a sentence i have read some days ago from sageous or sivason or someone: "the void is like a loading screen, like the construct of your head [or something]" i think about it and it makes sense. i finish this thought and feel like beeing long enough here so i start to visualize my room. a homescreen (like in windows) appears with two users. [again schema because thinking of a "loading screen?] i "click" it (but without doing anything...) and stand in my room. i decide to wake up because i am scared i would loose the beginning.

so i dont know: when one goes by exact wording i asked for a secret but didnt get a answer and i asked for company and got it but not until the end of the dream...
what do you think guys?

DJ Link for Basic and DJ Link for Advanced

I did Basic I Task and Advanced I Task this morning while trying Galantamine for the first time!

Spoiler for Basic I and Andvanced I:

She starts to explain more stuff but I stop following her and say "Wait, before we get any further, will you follow me around till the end of this dream?" "No" she scoffs "Your following me. I'm the dream guide." "I just have to ask that for the Task of the Month." I explain. "Fine" she says and we start to walk again I see that we are walking up some steps toward some sort of dome structure. "You sure are spunky Juliana. Oh, also tell me a secret of AndresLD's." I ask. "Andres? Hmm." she pauses. "Stay away from him for a while. In your dreams I mean. He is still recovering from a dry spell and has something he needs to work through first." We continue walking and talking together for the rest of the dream until I wake up in a false awakening.

My goal itself was to talk to my dream guide so yes she did help my complete my goals. I also wanted to know more about evil witches and she explained some of that as well. Next time I will have her teach me a new power which should be more exciting.

Link to full dream journal entry.

Forgot all about the tasks in today's morning nap WILD. But remembered how to focus my eyesight from yuschaks book I read yesterday. And got tons of "action".

This time i claim to complete the Basic I and II and Advanced I even tho i didnt get a good answer and Sensei denied to accompany me

Spoiler for Basic I:

...i cross the street put my hand behind my back and call for sensei. immediately a big hand takes mine and i turn around. an asian looking guy with a bald head and athletic body looks at me. i start to ask "tell me a secret about s... oh damn i wanted to summon FryingMan and not sensei... Nevermind... so tell me a secret about Fryingman" he nods and we start waking next to a construction side and into a building. we hold hands for some time? we phase together thru a wall and i look at him while he phases thru. it looks interesting. he needs some time until he starts talking. he starts and for whatever reason he talks in english and not in german. he talks like he would tell me an epic story. i am confused because of the language and i feel like his sentences dont make sense or i dont understand them. i ask him if he might talk in german plz and he nods again but starts in english again. he says something about 'mind streching' and 'knowing for long time'... i interrupt him...

Spoiler for Basic II and Advanced I:

...I interrupt him and ask if behind me there is a microscope, he denys and i look behind and there is nothing, i say "but there has to be one here" and keep on looking. i think i found one and approach it, put some items aside but notice that its a vinyl player. damn... some meters away sensei says "here is a microsope" i go there and it is a digital one. i ask sensei if he would like to accompany me in my dream and do some tasks but he denys and tells me he cant because soon there will be some fights. i push a latexbutton and the light goes on. on the table there are two smartphone with some picture with woods and people in comic style. i put it under the microscope and see the screen magnified and the colors of the picture fluctuate in waves... i feel a little disappointed because i thought i would see something cool....

Plz look into it and tell me if it counts for you!

You summoned someone, asked a question, and got an answer so I would say you did complete this task. No matter if the answer was not really what you expected.

You got a microscope and saw an image in it. - Done

You asked to accompany you. No matter if they agreed or denied, I would say you did the task. You can't control if the DC has other plans that walk with you : D
