Task of the Month for May 2018

**spellbee2** · 05-02-2018 04:59 PM

Sorry this is late, been a crazy week.

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 - Eat chocolate cake. (naturespirit)
Basic Task ii - Ask a DC to sing you a song. (littlepooky04)

Advanced Task i - Turn a flower into ice cream. What flavor is it? (Letaali)
Advanced Task ii - Make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without using your hands. (Him)

BONUS TASK!! - Gather the dragon balls and have a wish granted. (ryytytut)

MAY'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. Stick your hand in your pocket and pull out the first thing you feel.
5. Take off your shoes and socks and walk barefoot for a while.
6. Find text you can read, then look at it again. Has it changed?
7. Look at the clouds. What shapes do you see?

I'll have a look at these... but what is a dragon ball?

**Jewel** · 05-03-2018 02:58 AM

Oooh these look fun this month!

I think I will have a go at the basic tasks.

It's from an 80's anime I think.

**Durza** · 05-03-2018 05:39 AM

Are we supposed to tell all of our attempts or just a few if they don't succeed?

**RelaxAndDream** · 05-03-2018 10:39 AM

as you wish. you can post all your attempts because they might motivate others and give them ideas how to do it

**lucidbunnie** · 05-03-2018 10:56 AM

I think I'll try it out. ^^

It's from the anime Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and more recently Dragon Ball Super. Basically you collect 7 magical wish granting orbs, each marked by number of stars. Then summon a dragon that'll grant you wish.

If you complete a task while non-lucid does it still count?

**IRONCLAW33** · 05-09-2018 12:58 AM

Lol these tasks are boring, seriously spellbee

U can do better than this

Nope, afraid not. Ya gotta do those tasks while lucid to claim those wings.

Well, that's one way to introduce yourself!

But seriously, anyone who completes at least one TOTM can get access to the Lucid Task Club. Such users can then vote from pre-selected tasks for the next month, which themselves are taken from a pool of suggested tasks found here.

Better? As in how? Easier? Harder? You know, those are all very subjective. What's better, easier, harder, funner... for some, may be the exact opposite for others. That's why we, the community of lucid dreamers, suggest and then vote on these tasks together.

BTW, quite a way to make an entrance. Congrats on your first post!

Pls don't forget to link your DJ entry.

**Lang** · 05-09-2018 02:11 AM

Very interesting... Welcome to the forum!
I take it that you are a master at Lucid Dreaming, IRONCLAW33? If you have some great tasks suggestions or tips for us to try, then all means go for it.

**naturespirit** · 05-09-2018 07:12 AM

What a dramatic entrance! On a more original note, given your evident consummate ability, if you are seeking perhaps more serious challenge, you could check out the Tasks of The Year: https://www.dreamviews.com/tasks-mon...ar-2018-a.html Meanwhile, the Lucid Challenges forum has several challenges of varying difficulties.
Nonetheless, I think that DV is anticipating your stunning, vivid, and memorable dream journal entries depicting your amazing talents, creative approach to even the simplest prompt, or even a tutorial on how to achieve your extraordinary prowess. Notwithstanding, there is skill in making even the simplest task an unforgettable experience.

I don't have a dream journal entry for this because the task part was pretty short and I didn't won't to write an entry. That's okay in general or is a DJ entry obligatory to claim tasks?

**lucidbunnie** · 05-09-2018 12:11 PM

This is a lot harder than it looks, especially when you have trouble sleeping and rely on DILDs for lucids. Last couple of times when I got lucid I didn't remember the tasks properly. However, I did have a semi-lucid where I ate a chocolate cake with butterscotch ice cream and I remember thinking as I ate that I was supposed to do lucid dream tasks involving chocolate cake and another involving ice cream, but I couldn't remember clearly. I'll hopefully have better luck soon. ^^'

Welcome to the forum! As already stated, I don't choose the tasks - they are voted on each month by the people who completed the previous month's tasks. So if you have a problem with which tasks have been selected, the best way to fix it is to complete one of them so you can vote for next month's tasks. Or, you can suggest your own tasks that others might vote for in our Suggestion Thread here: https://www.dreamviews.com/tasks-mon...on-thread.html

Yes, making a DJ entry and linking it here is part of the TOTMs.

Sorry, I had the wrong link for some reason. Thank you for post the right link, Spellbee.

**Fly_by_Night** · 05-13-2018 09:43 AM

i always go "go advanced" in down right corner of the text box then you have more options. there you go for the button with two squares next to the crossed out S (8th button from down right) a dialog pops up there you can type in "basic Task blabla" than hit enter and insert the text you want in spoilers

you also can type it manually, as you wish

i am still thinking about doing Advanced Task ii - Make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without using your hands. (Him)
since i start to think differently about my lucids i think i want to do another approach. normally i would do it on my own with telekinesis or something like that but i think i will ask a DC to make me one, as long as i dont use my hands it should count right

**lucidbunnie** · 05-13-2018 10:40 PM

That's a wonderful idea! I like creative solutions. I don't like to manipulate my dreams if I don't have to and tend to avoid using "powers" to get things done. I think asking someone to make it should count. I'd like it if someone would confirm if this is alright. ^^

**dreamphibian** · 05-14-2018 05:13 AM

Whew!! These all look fun to me personally, hopefully I can get some done! :3 Was gone for a while because I've been moving to a new place and doing all the annoying crap that goes along with that.. heh. I think I'll try the chocolate cake one first because it seems easiest to remember.
