Thread: Task of the Month for June 2018

I've been out of practice for far too long now. I'm going to actually give a crack at these this month.

Can't wait!

I keep commenting every month but things have still been so busy/hectic iwl that I haven't been able to focus on any one thing too long. Yarghh... Maybe this month, gotta keep trying-!!

I really like this one a lot! Will certainly try if I get lucid.

Quite the opposite for me... personally I really need internet, I'm sort of afraid of how the dream will react to shutting it down. ^^'

Definitely trying these this month!

I attempted to do the bonus but, I ended up dreaming about something to do with becoming an acorn then becoming an oak tree in a rat-infested power plant. There was a battle with an epic Fail. Or is it?

Shut down the whole internet and observe what happens to the world around you.

there is a term for that: armagedon

You know, I had a dream a while ago about one of the members here, who shut down the mainframe. It was caused by just seeing that member's avatar.

I hope it's okay that I complimented a crowd instead of a single DC. They behaved like they were one.

Spoiler for Basic - Pay your DC a compliment - success:

I'm in the school yard. There are lots of people with dogs. I'm a little above them for some reason. In the dream I think that they are there because of a dream I just had, but it's not actually true. I remember wanting to compliment a DC because I have thought a lot about it when awake. I say (in Finnish) "Your dogs are nice and cute. Be proud of them." I said it to the crowd and not one DC. At first they didn't react at all and I became worried, but then they said "Thank you", as if they were just one DC.

My DJ

Edit: This is the first task I completed this month.

I'll try to do advanced 1 by summoning Dawn, a cosmic cat-like creature I've met in a few dreams now.

For those that have your wings (aka 1 of you), the voting thread for next month is up: https://www.dreamviews.com/lucid-tas...ml#post2228424

For those that don't have them yet, don't worry, there's still time to make it!

I finally completed a task!! I did Basic I on my second attempt. Here are the excerpts and DJ links:

Spoiler for Basic I - Failed Attempt (no response):

A knight in full armor is galloping around the outside of the platform on a nondescript brown horse. There is barely room for them. The knight's armor covers their entire body and is bright orange with silver glitter throughout and a seemingly plastic texture.

I recall the compliment task and I say to the knight, "You're so pretty!" I do not recall getting a response. I remember thinking I'd finished the task and that I should wake up. I walk down the sidewalk along a main street and attempt to wake myself using my "sitting up motion while feeling my body with expectation and intent" method. This may or may not have worked; I can't recall because I went back to sleep several times.

DJ Entry

Spoiler for Basic I - SUCCESS!!:

I keep WILDing up out of the chair I'm napping in. The first few times are kinda like FAs: sort of unaware then becoming more lucid. I begin to WILD on purpose while holding the compliment task in mind.

I stand up, make eye contact with my grandmother, and ask her if I'm dreaming. I don't remember her answer. I do the nose-pinch RC several times before thinking about who to compliment. I consider telling my grandmother that I respect her, but decide to compliment my three year old daughter instead. I turn to her and say enthusiastically, "You're so cute!" I smile at her and she grins big and sits down on the floor, being all silly and wiggly.
