Thread: Task Of The Month For July 2020!! :D

Great tasks, and wanted to clarify someone else suggested the bonus, I just voted for it.

Create a planet filled with life that fits in your hand. Shrink yourself and meet the people living on your planet. (Letaali)

Was waiting for this! Thanks for organizing it, Lang! Never had the chance to try one of these before (always seemed to notice them at the end of the month)!

Gonna try to repeatedly set my intentions to do basic task 1 at every chance to remind myself and see if I can make it happen. Sounds like it could be really cool to see happen in a dream... I'd really like to explore the inside of the mountain afterwards!

Advanced I is really gross by the way... but I'm curious, lol.

You're welcome! Sounds like a great plain.
Yeah, it's gross... And it's utterly amazing what you could do in your dream. For some reason, I'm picturing a lactating chair or a book about cows that you must milk? *shrugs*

Milking it is one thing... "what does it taste like?" Lol, eugh. I don't think I want to drink car's milk... or fire hydrant's milk.

But if I get there I'll take one for the team. We need answers.

This excites me! I'm getting back into LDing because I'm making a 30-day lucid dreaming challenge video with my friend for youtube. We're currently on day 20. I'm posting here now to solifidy my intentions to LD and to try out these fun tasks! Browsing this forum and focusing on these tasks has helped me increase my dreaming abilities a lot in the past.

So every night along with my affirmations I will set the intention to work on Beginner task #7: leap in the air a few times. Does gravity work like you expect?

I'll keep you all updated if I can become lucid enough to perform this!

Cool.
When you are describing lucid dreaming to the viewers or your friends, though, could you do us a favor, and please make sure your information you are providing is accurate in the video.
This is so we can cut down on the misleading information out there on YouTube about lucid dreaming.

Good luck!

For sure! I've been researching this subject for years so I think I've got a decent handle on whats accurate and responsible.
Honestly I wont be explaining lucid dreaming too much, it will be mostly focused on our journey over the 30 days. Where we started and how much we were able to progress with the practice to show people whats possible with only 30 days of practice. We're thinking of making a second video of another 30 days too because we havent had any lucids yet. Our recall has improved a lot though and I think I have a good chance of getting at least 1 LD by the end of this.

Thank you!

I'm gonna try basic ii this month, see if I can graduate past the beginner level.

basic seems pretty hard tbh

I think if you just try doing your best terrible Chinese impression at a DC for Basic II, while pretending you totally know what you're communicating, they will almost certainly respond. You might even get subtitles lol.

The other one does seem a little harder to me, but I guess it's worth remembering, everything in a dream is only as hard as you make it!

A dream task can look or can be hard depending on the person. Your expectations are in your hands at this point. Have you ever had a non-lucid dream before with different languages? Sometimes it will come just as clear as your native tongue, in your dream.
I know you can do this. You will do fine, 9sk.

With me: I have spoken in Alien before, in real life but, it was because I was under hypnosis when I was in college. My roommate took a video of it. Oh, and yes, they bring that up, every so often.
There are dreams where I had to speak in Alien or at least understand what they are saying to me.
Just the other day, I had a non-lucid dream that I had to speak fluently in Korean so I can calm panicked friends and family of this girl that was passed out at a party while at the same time, trying to call 911.
I can't speak Korean very well in real life. However, the comprehension of what they were saying in the dream was clear enough.

My first ever task of the month attempt, and my first ever task of the month success!

Basic - "Break a mountain with the power of your aura." - Success:

Spoiler for Dream Journal Bit:

As I'm walking into the front yard I remember my goal of "splitting a mountain with my aura" for the lucid dream tasks of July. So, wondering how to even do that, I begin screaming at the top of my lungs trying to somehow "charge up" like in DragonBall Z or something. Nothing really happens and I feel my voice becoming raspy, and have a faint moment of hoping I'm not actually awake and screaming in my front yard at the top of my lungs, lol.

But, to quell my fears, I immediately run an acre or two into the yard as fast as possible, and I'm able to run so quickly I know that it can't be real life. I stop again, and begin yelling again, trying to do... something, and my next idea is to stomp on the ground so hard it sends my aura out and splits the mountains. So I stomp on the ground, and nothing happens. Next, I bend down and punch the ground as hard as I can, then stand up and look around. Suddenly, I notice something falling and look up, only to see the moon has turned dull grey and is falling through the atmosphere breaking into pieces and falling to Earth, lol. So, I think, I can destroy the moon-- surely I can destroy a mountain. (Also I don't know why the moon was directly overhead during the day, don't ask questions.)

Again I punch the ground as hard as I can, then look up once more, and in the distance I see a mountain breaking into pieces and crumbling into dust, and I feel self-satisfied that I achieved my goal. When I woke up I feared I had failed, thinking the goal was to "split the mountain," but it turns out the goal was simply to "break a mountain," so I think I passed after all!

The Dream Journal post, if you want to see what other wacky lucid things I got up to (not a lot, honestly, but it felt good to be lucid)!

Congrats, lifeinsteps! You did it!!

I did it!! Journal link, and the relevant excerpt:

Spoiler for Speaking German:

“Guten Nacht,” I said. (Yes, I meant Guten Tag, but close enough?)

“Guten Nacht,” he replied. He said something else I didn’t understand. The only word I recognized was verstehen (understand), so I assumed he was asking if I understood German. We were entering the dining room now.
I tried to recall how to tell him I don’t speak German. “No spreche… German. Alemán?”

“Alemannisch,” he corrected me.

“Deutsch,” I corrected myself.

Basic - Have a conversation with a DC in a language you don't speak. - Failure

Spoiler for Dream journal bit:

I was at my friend's (Brooks') apartment in a city building, on the third floor or so, and we were casually chatting, when I suddenly remembered my dream goal of conversing with someone in a different language I didn't know. Somehow this did not make me lucid at all. I turned to him and said, "Do you know anyone that speaks a different language in here?" and he mentioned that a friend of his from high-school (her name was Megan) spoke Spanish. I told him to call her up immediately because I wanted to speak to her. He went and buzzed her up and went out in the hallway and brought her in, and when he did, he said hello to her in Spanish (buenos something), and she looked at him puzzled, and said, "Uh, hola." He asked if she remembered how to speak Spanish, and she said, "I've never been able to speak Spanish...?"

Suddenly, we were in the courtyard below talking about this instead of his room (don't know how, didn't question), and she continued, "I took French in high-school." I remembered her being in my French class and held my hand over my head going, "Ahhhh, crap, that's right, and you know as much French as I do!" and she nodded. Then I sort of threw my fist down and said, "I needed to speak Spanish with someone!"

Overhearing this, an older lady who was walking by brightened up and said, "Oh, Spanish? I love speaking Spanish! Come over to my apartment and we'll speak Spanish anytime!" and continued walking up the ramp into the building. I walked back to my friend's room with him and asked who she was, and he explained she lived next door. As we got back into his apartment, he sat down on the chair, and he said, "How long do I have to live in this apartment?"

I waved my hand and said, "Just until I can speak Spanish with this woman in my next dream, not that long, you just can't move yet because it's really convenient and I won't have a reason to come see her." He began complaining about the apartment and I started looking around and saying, "What's so bad about this apartment, look, you've got a room... there's another room, you've got four rooms! This place is huge, it's like a house!" and his wife from the other room said, "I wouldn't say that!" and as I was starting to feel like they were definitely gonna move, I woke up and slapped myself in the forehead for being so dumb.

By the by, I did this but I didn't want to bug gab so I haven't DM'd them or anything. Krikkitbot, you may want to do this too!

Got basic task i twice over this morning. I really had a roll with dream control this morning. Now, if only I remembered other tasks...

Spoiler for Basic Task i - Break a mountain with your aura - Success:

I took a moment to appreciate the view, when I quickly went over some tasks in my mind. I settled for this month's basic task i. Of course, that meant I had to find a mountain. I walked towards the left alongside the road. It didn't take long for me to notice a huge, ice-peaked bluish grey mountain leftwards to the horizon. After a brief moment of concentration, I released my aura. It was visually tame, appearing as just a quick, transparent wave that pulsed in the air for a moment. So it came as a bit of a surprise when the mountain crumbled seconds later. Job well done, I thought.

Regardless, I wanted to see such destruction more closely. With an upward wave of my hand, I collected as much asphalt as I could from the road to create a huge hill made of the same material. Once again, I conjured my aura. In an instant, the asphalt mountain exploded violently into millions of chunks. Some of the larger clumps almost flew right at me.

Perhaps I got startled a bit. The dream collapsed shortly after.

Congrats, Guys!! Keep up the great work!!

Spoiler for speaking German to a DC.:

I'm on an empty street, and as usual I don't know where I am. There's tour guide?! who tells me to go and see these two other guys in order to travel in town. So I go to find them aroun the corner. There I am, again looking at a street sign. The letters are white, on a blue background. the letters are starting switching then I try to read the sign but it's almost impossible but then I see a name, it says "Biergärten Örinhnen"..I Think I'm in Germany! I'm in a dream!, I Look up and sure enogh, the architecture looks exactly as it should. Then to make sure I look again to the sign and all I see is: "yäöööä!", I get the giggles and keep on going and rubbing my hands a bit to stabilize lucidity.
There I see a vehicle, but is more like the cargo of a truck, without a cabin, maybe wheels, and is half way opened. There are two German dudes, standing to the left side of the cargo, resting the arms on some metal hangers. I think to myself, this is my chance to speak a foreign language.! "Hallo mein Namen ist Dorian". One of the men: oh!, isn't your namen Jordian?
(I think to myself again, the tour guide must have given a different name) nein, (no),I'm Dorian! They laugh and go on with their own talk..
My perception shifts to the left, and I can see there are a few maps on a screen, and the locations where we would be traveling..Aparently in a very short of time, since the vehicle has a special technology. I look down and there's the cabin, below the ground. Nom I'm sitting there, and a lady is next to me, in front of me there are 3 boys; she's tapping , on top of their head with her left leg, she's wearing sandals..
I notice I'm getting caught in the drama and as I try to rub my hands again, but the dream vanishes..
Man I really wanted to try one beer...

Oh that's right! Danke schön!

The link didn't work for me.

Gern geschehen und herzlichen Glückwunsch zu Ihrem Erfolg.

Yeah, my German is passable. Um, I think?
