Task of the Month for October 2017

**spellbee2** · 09-29-2017 04:22 AM

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.

How to get your wings

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: one basic or both, one advanced or both, bonus or how many tasks of the year. Please note, that we now have wings for every task. Requesting to join the group will upon approval also grant you access to Lucid Task Club.

Of course you still need to post the pertinent part of the dream here and link to your DJ entry.
Format of your post:
[Basic, Advanced...] -[Name of the Task] - [success or fail] - [pertinent part of a dream] - [link to dj]
For example:
Basic - Drive a car - success

When you post about another successful attempt, please tell me if it was your first or second task from basic or advanced tasks, or first, second... seventh task from the task of the year. I need to know this so I know which wings to give you. If you only say "completed TOTY - flying car" , this doesn't tell me which wings with how many stars should I give you.

Please, make sure you post here your attempts both failures and successes, this will make this post much more dynamic.

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 - Ask someone from a dream to tell you something about yourself that you don't know. (DropTherapy)
Basic Task ii - Sing a song. Points if you can act out the lyrics as you sing. (ThreeCat)

Advanced Task i - Enter a race against various DCs and win. You can use whatever you want to win the race, but so can the DCs! (Cookino)
Advanced Task ii - Call out a question or intent - anything you want - towards the "awareness behind the dream" (Patience108)

BONUS TASK!! - Create a monsoon or rainstorm that gives rise to an explosion of floral growth! Explore the crazy and wondrous flowers you just made! (RavenOfShadow)

OCTOBER'S BEGINNER TASKS: (Anybody feel free to have fun with these, but you'll get wings only if you are a beginner. Some will change each month!)

1. Slow down, look around, describe what you see.
2. Touch the ground. What is it? Grass, asphalt?
3. Look at your body. What are you wearing?
4. Say something out loud.
5. Take a slow, deep breath and feel the air fill your lungs.
6. Look at the skies. Are there clouds, stars?
7. Run your hands through your hair.

Hmm, I think I can get behind the Advanced Task II this month, this is my first attempt at doing any task of the month/year at all.

Put your Pumpkin Spice Lattes down for one gosh dang second, because it's October!

First: don't drink Pumpkin Spice Lattes without rum in them.
Second: Leave the pumpkin out

Definitely gonna give the Basic ones a try!

I'm so out of practice, though...

**RelicWraith** · 10-02-2017 03:32 AM

Nailed Adanced Task ii. I didn't really prioritize this one before sleeping, and yet, it was the only one I could recall during my dream. Funny how things work out. I should note my slight alteration in wording when I spoke out my intent in dream, though I strongly doubt that would be grounds for disqualification.

right?

**Cookino** · 10-03-2017 02:45 PM

Cool, my suggestion got chosen. I want to race on a warpstar. Also some pretty cool tasks here, I might try advanced 2 or bonus if I can raise my LD count.

**AshkoreDracson** · 10-03-2017 07:22 PM

Love the tasks! Will definitely give them a try!

**Seabatt** · 10-05-2017 05:03 AM

I think the beginner tasks are the only things I haven't really prioritized (Like, at all). I haven't really tried to engage any of the five senses at all in my dreams, since I was more interested in doing "cool" stuff than anything else.

brb gonna go lick a wall and eat a doorknob

So I got lucid last night, but control wasn't all that great... and I spent the whole time trying to figure out what the challenge was.

Until I remembered!

...last month's challenge. I was about to summon a clone of myself when I woke up.

Maybe next time, eh?

**RelicWraith** · 10-18-2017 03:13 AM

Got Basic ii Monday morning.

Spoiler for Basic Task ii + points? - Success:

Technically I did act it out, but under diminishing conditions.

Spoiler for Bonus Task - Failed:

**NyxCC** · 10-24-2017 09:36 PM

So far only at the attempt stage

Basic i: asked DC mom to tell me something about myself I didn't know - got a lot of DC gibberish, couldn't make any sense of
Advanced ii: asked the dream to teach me something - nothing came out of it...although I had some englightening dream related thoughts after wake

Still a week to go - going after the singing and race tasks. Maybe a singing race?
