It's 2020, which means it's time to decide on our next Task of the Year theme!
Hey everyone! Ringing in the new year, and ringing in a New Official Task of the Year! Normally, only people who have completed December's Task of the Month can vote on the Task of the Year, but it seems like the end of the year has snuck up on us almost without warning, No one has completed any of them, you know? So I'm opening up the voting to everyone so we get a good selection of tasks. Below are the suggestions we've accumulated over the past few years. This is not an exhaustive list if you want to suggest your own tasks, feel free to add them to this post, and I'll add them to the list (suggestions should be one coherent "theme", with 6-7 tasks under that theme. Each task should take a significant amount of dream stability/control to accomplish).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spoiler for Welcome to the Lucid Dreaming School of Magic!:
Do you have what it takes to become a master lucid dreaming wizard? Master the six schools of magic, then, in a showcase of supreme power, combine aspects of all to defeat a mighty enemy!
Task 1: School of Magic - Illusion
Welcome to Illusion Class! In this class, you will learn how to deceive friend and foe alike with a flick of your wrist! In order to pass this class… you must take this test:
-Cast Disguise to look like someone else, then fool the others around you into believing your new persona. Then, cast Invisibility, allowing yourself to go unseen by others. Cast Mirage to disorient people nearby, so that they see a totally new reality. Then, as you sneak out, cast Silence, completely voiding the world of sound for a period of time.
Task 2: School of Magic - Restoration
Welcome to School of Restoration! Mend the very bones of your brethren and stop the forces of evil with the pure intent of your heart! Only the purest souls need apply. Are you up for the challenge?
-First, you will find an injured person and heal them by Laying on Hands. Then, you will protect the innocent from danger by creating a Forcefield of pure divine energy. Find yourself one who has already fallen, then cast Resurrection to bring them back to life! Finally, make your way into the heart of the danger, and cast Exorcism to rid the enemy of their evil heart!
Task 3: School of Magic – Conjuration

What is form but another illusion? With this knowledge, you can master the arts of the School of Alteration! Travel the world in any way you desire. Become anything and anyone! Change the very fabric of reality with the power of your knowledge!
-Who needs doors? Walk through the walls as you Phase yourself into another location. Shape-Shift yourself into a winged creature, and fly to a source of water nearby. Cast Water Breathing and swim to the bottom to get your treasure – a pearl of wisdom, perhaps? Then, master of hardest of all… Teleport yourself to the top of a nearby mountain! This must be a true teleportation spell – no phasing, flying, or using guides! One point to the next, that's it!
Task 5: School of Magic – Destruction
Welcome to the School of Destruction Magic. Destroy your enemies with the power of pure arcane energy! Channel your rage in the form of the natural elements! Ice, fire, air, and earth at your fingertips! Take the test…

Hurl a massive Fireball at a building and watch it burn! Lastly, split the Earth asunder with an Earthquake that rips through your foes!
Task 6: School of Magic – Psionics
Those with true power don’t need to do anything to show it! They use the School of Psionics! Bend the world to your will with your mind! Control the very thoughts of your enemies! Take true control as you possess them! Can you master the art..

Task 7: Full Spectrum Wizard
Congratulations. If you have made it this far, you are truly a master wizard. However… can you pass the final test? Do you have what it takes to be the Sorcerer Supreme?
-To pass the final test, you must use a combination of spells from every school (at least one from each). You will use these spells to fight an ancient enemy, which could be a Balrog, Dragon, Giant, or Leviathan, or similar creature of legend.. Once completed, you will find the reward: a magical tome of knowledge. Find the ultimate treasure, and record it’s sayings! And at long last … you will be… the Ultimate Lucid Dreaming Wizard!!!

1. Find your Soul Tree
Pick a tree that exists in waking life, one you feel a special connection to. Travel to this tree in the dream world. Make this your Soul Tree. Become one with the tree, feeling its roots in the Earth, and its canopy of leaves in the sky. You will use this tree for dimensional travel later.
2. Find Spirit Animal
Ask the dream to take you to your spirit animal. Once in a location, you will explore it until you find the creature. Bond with this creature and ask it if it will be your guide. Receive wisdom from the creature in the form of thoughts/words, or by following it.

5. Enter Another Person’s Dream, Offer Healing
Attempt to enter the dream of another person you know (in waking life or online is fine, get permission first). You may ask the dream to take you to said person or find another way to get to them. Once you are in their dream/area, you will offer some sort of healing (physical or emotional). Upon waking, talk to the other person and report any synchronicities.
6. Dream Re-Entry
Attempt dream re-entry. Create or travel to the location of a previous dream you have experienced. Go back into the dream with the intention of finding some new information from the dream you may have missed the first time around. Report any changes that happen naturally in the new experience. How did they compare?
7. Integrate Shadow Aspect / Soul Recovery
Ask the dream to help you face a shadow aspect / great fear. If you experience a dark area in the dream, go that way. Find the source of fear, and practice acceptance and love toward the source.

Spoiler for Lucid Dreaming Super Hero Training Program:
Task 1: Discover Your Alter-Identity
In the first task, your main goal is to discover your superhero identity. Ask the dream, or a dream character, to transform you into your superhero form. You MAY NOT make up your own form. You MUST let the dream decide for you. It may or may not be an original character – it is OK if your given identity is an already established character. You may try a technique, such as “Activate my X-gene!” to get your form. Or perhaps you find a neat piece of technology/equipment that you can use to give you superpowers. However you get your identity, you then need to ask for your superhero costume! Once again, you do not make this, you let the dream make this. Perhaps you open a door to find your costume inside. Describe your superhero name and costume. (Bonus points for the artwork!)
Task 2: Discover your Powers
In this next task, your main goal is to discover your superhero powers! First, you are going to need to transform into your Super Hero Form again. This can be done with or without help from guides. Next, you are going to ask the Dream, or a dream character, for information about your superhero powers. Using that information, and your own intuition (especially coming from your given name/identity the last task), you are going to test out your discovered powers. How does it go?
Task 3: Find A Training Facility
Depending on your superhero name, you may or may not be already “part of a team.” If you are, for example, an X-man, you will travel to the X-Mansion / Xavier Institute. If you are an Avenger, you may go to the Avengers tower/building. If you are an original character, you may choose a location of your liking (such as the above places), or ask the dream to take you to a training facility. You will need to transform into your alter-ego again. Once at the facility, you will have to ask to be a part of the team. You will ask for your initiation test and then complete it successfully. *Note: Initiation test must be completed to complete the task!*
Task 4: Training with Teammates
In this next task, you will train with other teammates at your training facility. Transform into your superhero form. You will adeptly use your powers in combat with at least one other superhero in an arena-like setting. Describe the battle, and use of your powers vs. their powers. You must win the match, without killing your teammate, to complete the task.
Task 5: Partner Mission
In your superhero form, you will ask the dream, or dream character, for a superhero partner. Once granted a partner, you must complete a mission with your partner, without either of you dying. Your mission will be to enter an enemy’s building, find and obtain an artifact of value from somewhere in the building. You must defeat any resistance using you & your partner’s powers. Bonus points if you discover a new way of using your powers (level up!). You must involve teamwork with your partner.
Task 6: Group Mission
In your superhero form, you will ask dream/a DC for a superhero team. You will go with this group into enemy headquarters. Your mission is to rescue one of your trapped teammates. Save the teammate and defeat any resistance. You must use teamwork. You must personally free the prisoner.
Task 7: Save the World!
In your superhero form, you will ask the dream/ a DC to take you to a battle scene where you are needed. You will battle with other superheroes, against villains, in an epic battle to save the world. Expertly use your superhero powers alongside your teammates to defeat the bad guys. Describe everything!
Spoiler for Theme: Roguelike Dungeon:
Never Say Die - You make your first foray into the dungeon! Unfortunately, it goes about as well as can be expected for a beginner (ie disastrously). Die at any floor within the dungeon. Then, respawn in the dungeon's entrance.
Dungeon Cuisine - You never imagined this structure could span out as profoundly as it has. Supplies are running low. You're going to have to get... creative with your rations. Find sustenance wherever you can, be it from strange fungal growths, or even from the corpses of monsters. Notice what happens to you when you eat such bizarre food. Is it poisonous? Does your body mutate? Do you gain powerful traits or abilities?
Loot Self-Appraisal - A good adventurer knows how to make the best of the equipment they find in the dungeons. Of course, they'd first have to figure out what said items are, and what they can do. Find four different unidentified pieces of equipment in the dungeon, anything from weapons, armor, wands, rings, tomes, potions, scrolls, etc. Test the items to see how they function. Are they magical, or mundane? Are they blessed, or even cursed?
Lost Puppy - Just as you're about to make your next delve, a little girl calls out to you. She tells you her puppy ran off into a particularly brutal, monster-infested 'side-branch' of the dungeon, and hasn't returned since. Being the daring dungeoneer that you are, you offer to help. Carve your way through the monsters and retrieve the lost puppy.
Shoplifting Bonanza - Several floors deeper in the dungeon, you stumble upon a curious shop offering a fine selection of goods. Unfortunately, all the merchandise is being sold at a ludicrous mark-up. You figure a five-finger discount is in order! Take everything you think you can carry, and get out. But beware! The shopkeeper is much more dangerous than they seem! What's more, an endless horde of guards will be sent to stop you. Escape ASAP!
Altar of the Gods - Scattered throughout the dungeon are altars dedicated to mysterious and ancient entities. Rumor has it these beings will grant supernatural aid in exchange for service. Make an offering on one such altar, and receive the blessings of a god. Alternatively, desecrate the altar to receive their wrath!
The Wizard of O'Rieno - Finally, after a long journey, you arrive at the final floor of the dungeon. Somewhere within, you know you'll find the legendary Jewel of O'Rieno. So too will you find the dreaded Sorcerer of O'Rieno. It's time to prove yourself. Defeat the Sorcerer, take the Jewel, and leave. But watch out! The Sorcerer of O'Rieno is practically immortal; so long as the Jewel remains in the dungeon, the Sorcerer can return from death at will! A daring escape is your only hope!
Spoiler for Theme: Dwarf Fortress:
Strike The Earth! - You join seven dwarves as they begin building a fledging fortress in a mountain wilderness. Help them carve tunnels and rooms within the hill that will serve as the entrance to their new home. Then, assist them in planting their first crops of Plump Helmets, an edible purple mushroom grown underground.
Vampire Infiltrator - A dwarf has been found dead in their own lodging, drained of all blood! This tragedy struck just a week after the latest migrants and visitors arrived. Investigate this murder. Interview each migrant/visitor until you figure out who dun nit. Be thorough! For each individual, look for suspicious origins, conflicting accounts, pale skin, any detail. Once you're sure you've found the vampire, dole out Dwarves Justice!
Disposable Noble - A noble dwarf has been making impossible mandates lately, forcing harsh, unjust punishment among the citizenry when such 'needs' weren't met. You've been given permission to arrange an 'unfortunate accident' for this troublesome aristocrat. Indirectly be the cause of their own demise via a lever-activated trap or similar gizmo. Make sure the noble triggers the trap themselves, lest you or someone else be implicated for murder!
Beast Trapping - The miners have dug into the Caverns, an endless underground wilderness! Dangerous creatures lurk within these depths. But with danger, comes possibilities! Help the dwarves capture an underground beast. Build clever traps and lures to snare your quarry alive. After securing it, assist in taming the monster to have it serve the fortress's needs.
Artifact - One of the dwarves has been afflicted by a 'strange mood'; the commencement of their crafting a legendary artifact! At every moment, they will demand random material from you. Collect the materials (five or more in total), then watch to see what wonders the dwarf creates!
Siege! - The season has come for war! Organize a raid against one of the following targets: a Goblin Dark Fortress, an Elf Forest Retreat, or a Necromancer's Tower. Bring at least 10 dwarves with you in this attack. Either conquer the site, or pillage as much loot and livestock as you can. Alternatively, defend your own fortress against either one of the above forces!
WARNING! SPOILERS BELOW!
Dug Too Deep! - The miners have struck adamantine! Unfortunately, in their excitement of digging out this most precious mineral, they've unwittingly bore an opening into Hell itself! Hordes of demons are pouring out with no end in sight. Act quickly! Use the fortress's magma-powered contraptions to help seal the demons once again!

Spoiler for Dreamviews: School of Dreamcraft and Lucidity:
Rules that apply to each task: - Be there: all tasks must be performed at the Dreamviews: School of Dreamcraft and Lucidity location (it doesn't matter what it looks like once you're there, but you should attempt to go there. I imagine a Hogwarts in the clouds at dusk, lots of crepuscular whites and blues). - Be accompanied: all tasks should be performed with a Dreamviews partner (Could be a different Dreamviews member each time). - This series of tasks is continuous: instructions received from DCs in previous tasks outside those assigned here must be carried out in the following task to complete the next task, like surprise homework.
Task 1. Initiation
It's the first day of school. You need to get to Dreamviews, School of Dreamcraft and Lucidity in time for the Initiation. There will be other Dreamviews members and the goal of the event is to mingle and get to know one another. For this purpose, there will be a grand party in the school's greatest hall and it's main court. There will be an all-you-can-eat buffet in the hall and ice breaker activities in the court. Although alcohol and drugs are tolerated, lucidity must be priority! The ice breaker activity are messy in nature. They involve 1. Putting on silly costumes (or shapeshifting into them), 2. Covering others and yourself with outrageous substances such as condiments and glitter, and 3. Completing an obstacle course in your messy disguise. The purpose is to honor the energy of beginnings by being disinhibited, creative and silly. To close the event, listen to the Principal's announcement as it will be important.
To pass task 1:
- Get there
- Meet one Dreamviews Member (real or not)
- Consume something from the feast
- Play one ice breaker activity (1 + 2 + 3)
- Hear the principal's announcement
If the task is incomplete, you do not lose your progress. You must simply go back, but you must fulfill the rules that apply to all task (be there, be accompanied). For example, maybe you did an icebreaker but did not hear the principal's announcement or you didn't eat something. You must simply go back to the initiation in a future dream and do that.
Task 2. First class: Dream Stability
- Attend a class with a Dreamviews member. The professor will teach you about dream stability.
- You must record one teaching learned from the class professor.
- You must perform one exercise taught by the professor.
- During this dream, you must remember the principal's announcement from task 1. If it was an order, you must perform it now. If it was just a statement, take a moment to acknowledge it now with your Dreamviews partner/the professor/the class.
- Receive an assignment from the professor (any dream-related exercise, can be for waking life or dream life).
Task 3. Class retreat: Meditation
- This task, exceptionally, can be done outside Dreamviews, School of Dreamcraft and Lucidity, but it must be done with the Dreamviews group.
- Remember the assignment from the previous dream: if it was for dream life, complete the task. If it was for waking life, remember if you have done it. If so, discuss it with the class.
- Spend the rest of the retreat meditating. You should accumulate at least 15 minutes of meditation (can combined from multiple dreams).
Task 4. Class: Memory
- Get to class accompanied.
- Receive the professor’s lesson on memory within dreams.
- Spend the whole class remembering things about yourself and your life. Share with your partner and class. You must remember at least: 1. Your name. 2. Where you are now. 3. Someone important to you. 4. What is a goal you have for the future in waking life.
- Recollect at least one event from a previous dream at Dreamviews School of Dreamcraft and Lucidity. Sharing with the class is encouraged.
Task 5. Second Class: Dream Orientation
- Get to class accompanied. Hear the teacher’s lesson on dream orientation. Incorporate the lesson to the assignment somehow:
- You must travel to 5 separate locations accompanied by your Dreamviews partner. At each location, before moving to the next location, you must interact with one aspect of the location and check in with your partner. If you lost them, you need to find them before moving on to the next location. You can map out the 5 locations beforehand to be better prepared or go unprepared.
Task 6. The Secret of Dreamviews
- Get to class accompanied.
- Declare you and your Dreamviews partner will not be attending class because you must find the secret of Dreamviews, School of Dreamcraft and Lucidity. (The intention here is for you to deal with the possible dream guilt you may feel for “skipping”: what is your relationship with the perceived dream authority?)
- Explore the school with your partner to find a secret chamber and within it, a sacred relic or beast or message.
- With your partner, bring it back to the principal.
- If at any moment during all of the attempts at performing these tasks (1-6), some authoritative DCs have hindered you, have a meeting with the Principle and the antagonists present. Find common ground.
Task 7. Graduation
It’s the end of the school year. You have mastered dream stability, memory, and orientation. You have come again and again to a dream location that is now part of your dream cannon. You might have dreamshared with other Dreamviews member or met your own manifestations of the Dreamviews community. You have come to term with hindring forces. This is your last chance to walk in this now familiar place with familiar faces. Tonight, there is again a grand party, but more sophisticated than the first. Nothing messy. Foods and drinks and music.
- Complete any remaining in structions you might have accumulated from a previous task and not quite completed.
- Consume one thing from the buffet
- Ask a Dreamviews member, "what's next?"
- Say bye to 2 Dreamviews members
- Make sure there is music and sing a song with your peers.

Oculus Rift - A popular virtual reality device that is worn over the eyes. Put on this device and describe what you see.
The Smart Phone - These handheld devices are everywhere. Bluntly put, it is a telephone with a touchscreen, camera, an internet browser, and heck knows what else. Using your own Smart Phone, send someone a text message prompting them to call you. It can be anybody; your best friend, your significant other, or that bedmate whose name you'll probably forget tomorrow. Once they call you, answer the phone.

Spoiler for Seven Trump Card:
The Seven Trump Cards (inspired by my powerful abilities)
1. Training Montage: One of my most powerful abilities is to efficiently do anything within a training montage. Can you manage it? How does it fare against other fighters? What soundtrack do you use? Try to experiment around with different songs; I only have one soundtrack for the most part.
2. Table turn: Perhaps my most handy ability to beat, when the odds are against me I can always "turn the tables" by saying those three words. Will you succeed? What happens if you are just cheating in a gambit type of game? Who knows...
3. Intuition: The most powerful of all my abilities, yet it's merely just following my gut feelings. Merely three coins are able to defeat an army of wolves. How does it compare to your dream talents? How does it get you out of difficult situations? This is worth pursuing into.
4. False Reality: You know the meme "these are not the droids you're looking for"? Well, replicate that, except make the false perception into reality. I've managed to trick someone into thinking I was them and they were me. I managed to completely shift a scene. Can you make it so that this is not the dream the DC's thought it was?
5. The Matrix: You know how you can interact with VR games with simply touching "empty air"? Yeah. Try to find the buttons and gimmicks that allow you to bypass shortcuts and defeat major enemies. I've experienced a lot of cool stuff by interacting with the dream like a VR.
6. Worldbuilder: One of my stranger trump cards, I merely say "history comes from X" and the entire world changes to have its expectations and standards based on one single idea. Go crazy! Name insane ideas and try to see just how the world changes.
7. The Trump: Try to invent your own powerful utility ability that's versatile and can be used in a lot of situations. How does it stack up against my trump cards? How is it triggered?
|-
