Task of the Month for February 2009

**ninja9578** · 01-24-2009 10:37 PM

Introduction:
This topic is for the Lucid Tasks that are assigned by me or voted on by experienced dreamers. Please attempt one or both 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.

Whoever completes either 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 the lucid task each month.

Tasks for this month:

Basic Task - Hug Clairity*

Advanced Task - Steal Cupid's bow and shoot someone with it

*Clairity is a well known DV member who joined in February 2005 and started the popular Do You Need a Hug? thread.

Yay, I picked the advanced task. Im going to try this tonight so i can keep my awesome orange name =3

**Robot_Butler** · 01-27-2009 12:06 AM

A lucid Clairity-hug is long overdue. I can't wait.

**ninja9578** · 01-27-2009 01:49 AM

Just a reminder, don't let anyone outside of this forum know about the tasks. Clairity only knows that the task involves her, not what it is.

**deepsleep** · 01-27-2009 02:05 AM

I think i seen someone say something about trying to hgu her in a dream.

**Hukif** · 01-27-2009 10:48 PM

Hugs and Cupid... another things I find hard, well, I hope I can make it at least to the polls this time lol

**magical mike** · 01-28-2009 07:46 PM

Yea, sorry about that, ninja...

I got close to the Clairity hug already... It'll happen soon!

**ninja9578** · 02-01-2009 02:56 PM

Here it is, let's see what happens

**panta-rei** · 02-01-2009 06:42 PM

I actually already did it...

I told myself that if I opened a door, I would find Clairity behind it. I opened the first door I saw, but inside was nothing. Just a blank room. So instead, I told one of the people wandering around to open a door and find Clairity.

The DC walked down an alleyway, and found a small metal door. He opened it, and said, "She'll be in there." I walked in, and found a big lushly furnished room. In the middle was a tall woman, who I assumed was Clairity. I decided to give her a glomp-like hug. I took a running start, and jumped at her.

Instead of landing and hugging her... I ended up full on tackling her. I helped her up, and apologized. I gave her a big hug,

but then woke up... hug

Not a long lucid, but I did what I set out to do.

What'd clairity look like?

**Clairity** · 02-01-2009 07:56 PM

This is so great.. I'm actually part of the February task of the month!!

Delphinus, good job!! I'm only 5'6" but I do so appreciate a full body hug (tho not necessarily a tackled one)!

Dreamers, I eagerly await all of your hugs!!

Well, I don't think I've ever really seen a picture of Clairity, so it was a mixture of just what I assumed, and her avatar.

She was tall, as I said, thin, with dark hair, and a pale face (avatar.)

Pretty.

**SleepyCookieDough** · 02-01-2009 10:37 PM

I have to try this.... Starting by hugging Clairity

I think that if I steal Cupids arrow I will shoot it at him.

Just a question: Can we throw it like a spear or do we have to shoot it with the bow?

[EDIT] Sorry, I thought it said to steal the arrow. I guess, I'll have to steal the bow. Same thing, right?

Can't wait!

**Zhaylin** · 02-01-2009 11:51 PM

Most interesting. I'm no lucid dreamer, but I want to be. Now I have some goals to shoot for

Just trying to be one makes you one (from my point of view)

This month task includes hugs

and being a thief

.... Great mix!

**joshiejack** · 02-02-2009 02:07 AM

Let's try this bow malarky

I've been cupid and seen him before just never taken his bow yet

Let's see how it goes ! Hopefully I can do it

**deepsleep** · 02-02-2009 02:09 AM

Im rlly gonna try this tonight.

**hellohihello** · 02-02-2009 03:33 AM

I don't know what clarity looks like !

Edit, yes I now do!

Wait just one darn minute! Are you trying to prove shared dreaming. What if clarity reports that she was some how hugged by a mysterious person! Bum bum bumm

**allensig3654** · 02-02-2009 04:25 AM

Lmao I tried this last night and failed miserably. I had a FA in my bed and went downstairs. Before I opened my front door I said Clarity will be behind this door. I opened the door and a huge dog run into the house and upstairs.

That would be so cool! If I dream of being hugged.. I'll report back a description of the hugger in this thread!

LMAO!! I love dogs (I have 4) but I don't think that was me.. unless I came back downstairs and tried to hug you with my paws!

LMAO!

Can't wait to try both these tasks

**JET73L** · 02-02-2009 09:33 AM

Finally, another task which is relevant to anything I pay attention to more than once a year! Haven't seen one of these since... November? October?

Can tasks of the month be done in the same dream, or are they like the tasks of the year, and have to be done in separate lucids?

**Keitorin** · 02-02-2009 11:46 AM

I think it'd be really interesting to see what would happen when someone's hit by Cupid's arrow! Wikipedia says sometimes he's depicted with two arrows, one for love and the other hatred. It also says 'the character's main purpose generally remains to help or make people fall in love or possibly engage in physical intimacy'.

I haven't lucid dreamed in a while though (or at least remembered if I have). We'll see!
