Yup... I don't think I can complete this month's tasks in time... I only recently started LDing.

I tried it again this night...

While falling asleep in the middle of the night I'm thinking about mountains in dreams. That leads me to a dream in a mountain area. There is a red/green temple. I'm going to take a closer look. Some people there destroy the temple. They are Nazis, or they destroy it because of the Nazis. I become lucid and remember the TOTM. I see a restaurant and go there to make a tea. Inside is only an old man sitting at a table. I take a glass and fill it with hot tap water. Close to the tap is a shelf where I'm looking for tea. I only find a juniper berry and put it in my glass. The berry transforms into a dried chili. Then I see some thyme and lavender. I mix everything in the glass. The old man throws more chili in the glass. I stop him and drink it. It's almost cold and has a very weak taste. I'm leaving the restaurant.

Don't forget to request joining the lucid task club from your control panel.

You may yet need to bribe her with a bag of Cat Treats... I think she likes the "Whisker Lickins" kind

No need to bribe
thanx will do that

Advanced I - ask a DC what does my DV avatar represent.

Well, I asked. Didn't really get an answer. Is that a requirement or is it just to ask the question?

Spoiler for Relevant bit:

A guy wearing a hoodie is causing trouble. I try to talk to him but he runs. Chasing him takes me outside of the building, and makes me lucid. I see a group of people and try to think of tasks and recall one of the TOTMs. "What does my avatar represent?" I ask one of them. They don't seem to understand the question and just shrug. I try a few more times but don't get an answer.

TOTM Attempt - What does my avatar represent? - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Funny, I was trying to remember that task too but it had a hole in it! (Like a lucid dream flat tire).
It says to ask your "subconciousness" What it represents and I'll be damned if I know how to go about that

Hello! So excited to see some familiar faces still here, and some new dreamers I'm yet to meet!

I missed DV so I did the tasks to get my fix! Here's the DJ: http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/~dre...7-totms-80465/

Spoiler for Basic Task i:

I saw a couple of square caverns on the cliff wall, each about the size of a microwave. I'd already seen that both were empty, so I tried looking away and putting my hand inside to try to summon a cup of tea. At first, I felt something like the handle of a small teacup, but it disappeared and left the cavern empty. I tried the same thing with the second hole but had no luck there either. I was considering summoning the teacup straight into my hand, when I noticed a white mug sitting on the ground right next to me. I picked it up and saw it was full of plain water. I willed it to change into hot green tea, and heard the sound of a kettle pouring as it swirled and gradually changed colour.
I sniffed it and it smelled exactly like strong green tea, and I could even feel the heat of the steam coming up my nose. The temperature was hot but not boiling, so I drank it quickly in a few big gulps. The taste wasn't as strong as the smell, but it still had an accurate green tea flavour.

Spoiler for Basic Task ii:

I was at the bottom of a cliff, with a winding road nearby. It was skinny, but busy with constant traffic. I walked towards it and expected to see someone around the corner. To my surprise, I found a tiny Orlan-looking man (from Pillars of Eternity).

He looked elderly and timid, so I placed my hand behind his back and led him toward the road. I looked up and realised that there were no longer cars on the road, but instead, a large parade of alien creatures. Some were humanoid looking folk, while others were smaller and looked more like pets, including a cat-sized arachnid, and a creature that looked somewhat like a porcupine. There were also some familiar animals like an elephant in Indian decorations.
The parade was moving quite slowly so I was able to weave the Orlan man between them without much trouble. Other fantasy creatures also crossed the road alongside us.
When we reached the other side, there was a cliff face that the others started climbing. I felt like my duty wouldn't be done if I didn't help this man the rest of the way, so I picked him up by his armpits and lifted him up each step of the cliff. We reached a large flat surface midway up that appeared to be the destination, so I let the Orlan man go off with his group.

Spoiler for Advanced Task i:

I decided that it would be easiest to manifest my subconscious into a DC, so I asked the first adult I saw, "Are you my subconscious?" She said no, so I asked a few different kids, who gave the same response. Then I came across 2 young girls standing next to each other. I looked at them both and tried to decide who felt the most like they matched my energy. I chose one, who also looked more similar to me as a kid, and when I asked if she was my subconscious, she said yes.
I asked her what my DV avatar represents. I wasn't expecting too deep of an answer because I already knew why I picked my avatar - I love anything purple, and it matches my purple hair in WL.
So I was surprised when she said, "Have you ever wondered why you like the colour purple so much?"
She went on to say that my nana, who I was very close to and who died on my birthday a few years ago IWL, also loved the colour purple, and it's one way I can carry her spirit with me. She said that the colour purple reminds me of my nana and that's one reason purple carries such happy feelings for me.

Spoiler for Advanced Task ii:

I flew into space and saw a fuzzy area in the distance that looked like a galaxy. I flew towards it at super speed, and after a few seconds, zapped instantly to my destination.
There was a sign floating in the air made out of white light, with 8-bit font. It read: The White Planet. It seemed like that was the name of the whole area, rather than just a single planet.
Beyond the sign, there were at least 20 planets, in the style of digital pixel art. They were all white and glowing, each designed around a different letter or number as the planet shape (but flat planes rather than spheres), with circles, lines, and other geometric shapes around them like rings.
There were also colourful carriages carrying passengers between the planets. They looked very old fashioned and reminded me of Mary Poppins. Each carriage was covered by a big parasol, and I had the song 'The Umbrella Man' playing in my head as I watched them spinning around.
I arrived at one of the more distant planets and found my mum meeting with someone, apparently a relative I hadn't met who lived on this planet. He looked like he was from an earlier era, but in age, he was younger than my mum. All the natives on the planet seemed to wear black and white, which made everything other than the carriages look like an old movie. My mum introduced us briefly, but it seemed like she was getting ready to leave when we arrived, so we said our farewells.

Spoiler for Bonus Task:

I looked up and saw the moon. I started to make myself grow, but I was inflating very slowly, and seemed to stop when I was about the size of a small giant. I saw someone nearby who was stretching themselves out like candy, and another DC commented that I just had to separate and rearrange the atoms of my body to make myself longer. So I tried using the stretching method and grew very quickly into the sky. Eventually, my growth slowed and stopped again, and I wondered if I'd 'reached my limit' of atoms. My head was in space but I was still too far away from the moon.
I decided to try shrinking the environment instead, so I pinched the air with my fingers and everything shrunk around me, pulling the moon closer to my giant body.
The moon had changed appearance and now looked black, and had strongly defined intentions and ridges that looks like a more geometric version of a spiky ball. It was also smaller than I intended, about the size of a large beach ball. I wondered how I was supposed to stand on it now...

I decided to change its shape. I shook it so it became like a deflated rubber ball, then I waved it like I was filling a garbage bag with air. It inflated and became much larger, still black but less shiny. I sealed it and let it float in the air, then climbed onto it.
When I looked around at the environment, I realised that I had already shrunk (or everything else had grown) because the stars and Earth were back to normal size.

I was just wondering the other day what happened to ~Dreamer~ and now she's back and cleans up all the tasks in one clean swoop!

I did some tasks!

Spoiler for Basic Task i (Success!):

I moseyed on over to the kitchen, very relaxed, and tried to summon a cup of tea. Instead of a cup, I ended up getting what appeared to be a pitcher of hot water. I guess my unconscious didn't want me to be too lazy. I searched through the cupboard and found some green tea leaves and threw them in the pitcher. I tasted the tea, it tasted like sugary, lemon flavoured green tea, yum!

Spoiler for Advanced Task i (Failed Attempt):

I strolled out of the bedroom and saw Jenkees in the kitchen. He is normally a pretty tall guy (~6'7 I think), but in this dream he was more like a 8' tall giant treant. He was holding a bowl of cereal and walking down the hall. I asked him, "Hey, Jenkees? What does my DV avatar represent?" He responded, "What is your DV avatar again?" I told him, "You know, it's like...a bunch of leaves on a tree!" He ignored my question and started talking about poo as he walked past me and into the shower with his cereal. lol weird. In the dream I thought to myself, "NAILED IT!" haha that's okay, I did that task again later in the night.

Spoiler for Advanced Task i (Success!):

I eventually found myself in the middle of a parking lot, in the middle of the night, with the fading intention to go get a haircut. Haha dreams are weird.

I was lucid but I still decided to walk into the hair salon because I figured...I was already there...so why not! And I was hoping that there would be some people in there so that I could retry a task of the month. I went inside to find a completely empty room with gray walls and a white floor. There were three people in the room - a blonde lady behind a counter, a dark haired man sitting at the counter, and a little brown haired girl sitting next to the man. I asked them all, are any of you able to represent my unconscious mind? I felt a strong, loving aura coming from the little girl. I knew that she was the right DC to ask. I asked her the question - What does my DV avatar represent? She told me, "It represents hunting, dreams and excitement! Lucid dream hunter!"

Spoiler for Advanced Task ii (Success!):

I ran down the street, hoping to find a flying saucer when, in the middle of a cul-de-sac, it dawned on me, there was probably one above me right then. O_O

I started to slowly float upwards. I looked up and there was an enormouse UFO above me, seriously, ENORMOUS, it looked like the mothership from independence day.

I was suddenly inside, there were dark, metallic corridors all around me. I stood by a window and started controlling the UFO. I made it fly super fast into space, through an asteroidfield, and then past numerous stars. It finally stopped at an orangish-yellow star with many gigantic rocks orbiting the star in a spiral pattern. There was a green-brown planet hidden among the rocks and I sent the flying saucer to land on it.

The task is :Advanced Task i - Ask your subconsciousness what your DV's avatar represent. (naturespirit)

It doesn't say to get an answer, but I think it's implied. But... you have to ask your subconsciousness. Not a DC. Unless you somehow decide, while lucid, that the DC was a representation of your subC. I think asking your subC = asking the dream itself. Asking yourself while lucid.

It would be similar to asking the subC, dream to:

show me something important
show me something funny
tell me something I should know

It would be similar to asking the subC, dream to:

show me something funny

Ah. Never mind then. I subscribe to the "all DCs are aspects of my SC" school of thought. I've tried "show me something funny/tell me something important" before and talking to the dream directly but don't recall every having had an external voice or answer from those attempts - just my inner monologue that never shuts up!

Finished Basic Task II!

I'm standing in front of a wall. There is a hole in the wall, like a window but no glass. The hole is cobwebbed and I try to clean it with a stick. After removing them all I see a lord of the rings being. A howl army of them appears. That makes me lucid. I'm flying to look for a city. Some skyscrapers appear and it looks like a really big city.I'm landing there at a street. Now it looks like my tiny home town. I cant find a busy street so I#m hovering around till I find the main street of my home tome. There are lots of cars. I take a little boy and help him to cross the street. He looks at me and saith in English "succeeded".

Do I have to complete all tasks to get the wings?

Finally a break in the dry spell.

Adv 2 complete

[SPOILER]“how will I get to Space?” (as per dp)…call out, walking in garden with others. A woman there crouches down, I climb onto her back, we jump up high, I’ve fist raised, looking up-greyish…after a time I say “I can see stars”! lots of them..keep traveling, white dots all around. Think I’m meant to describe solar system, becomes cool blueish with red orbs/lights[/SPOILER]
http://http://www.dreamviews.com/dil...orkbook-3.html

Basic Task - Help someone cross a busy street - success - this is my second basic this month, so two stars!
Advanced - Ask subC what my DV avatar means - fail
Bonus - Grow yourself big - fail

TOTY - car - success - my first TOTY - one star

Yeeey, I got me some tasks.

5. Ask subC what my DV avatar means - fail
I'm outside on a busy city street. I'm watching the DCs walk by. They are all different, with different attires and I'm happy I see DCs. Then I remember the TOTM. I turn to a young man and about to ask him the question, when I remember it's not suppose to be DC, but my subC.

I walk away a few steps from him, wait a second and look up at the skies to make sure it's clear I'm not asking him. And I say out loud with clear and articulate voice.

"What my ... ( I search for a word here) DV avatar means?"

I keep looking up at the sunny skies, but I get no answer. Only some not so distant noise, like a rumbling.

6. Help someone cross the street - success
I walk another block away from there when I think of another task. I recall the "make a tea" task but I know that's the only one I completed.

So I think of the Help someone cross the street. It was nice and sunny. There is a lot of DCs. A young "sister" which for some reason I believe is French is walking towards me. I grab her by the arm and tell her:

"C'mon, I will help you cross this street. There are no cars here, but that's ok. Just a few more minutes and we are there. Here is the sidewalk." And as I said it, I heard a grey older type car coming by and I was happy that my help was now not so silly looking. I got her to the other side of a not so wide street to the sidewalk with grass. Then we started french kissing. Since she was French.

3.
I wanted to grow myself big again even though I knew I have already tried. Not sure if I remembered that I didn't finish the task last time. I started to grow, but then I felt my feet disconnect from the ground and got disappointed. I started to shrink again, and I did this a few times. I didn't really feel myself grow, but I was watching the ground. Large puddles of water and moonlight reflecting off of them, they were getting smaller and decided to watch my progress like that.
