I had a short LD and two NDs with tasks last night.
In the first ND, I used Skype on a computer.
In the second ND, I had to deal with a monkey, who basically became my pet, but was still a bit wild. It was my job to take care of him, so I consider that taming an animal. At the end, though, he had somehow grown a tail with a spike at the end that looks like the spikes on Godzilla’s back. He stabbed me in the stomach with one by accident, which almost led to a fatal injury in the dream.
In the LD, I brought life to a stuffed animal. It was able to move around on its own, although it didn’t talk and still looked like a stuffed animal. I didn’t purposely control it, but I did think about what I wanted it to do to prove it was alive, and when I did, it did those things. It waved to me, so I waved back to it.
In the same LD, I also used an outdated piece of technology. I used a wall-phone, which are the home phones that are attached by a cord and stuck to the wall. I figured that nowadays, those had went the way of the rotary phone, so it should count. I actually dialed my home phone number (well, the best that I could do in the dream, as there were no numbers and my fingers had a mind of their own). I actually got a response on the other side. “Sorry, That is incorrect.” That or something similar, was what I heard. When I yelled at the automated message I’d received, I woke up.
Continuing with my streak of short lucids but nothing task related accomplished here’s another one. At least I’m lucid, right? Hopefully tonight I can actually do something.
This morning I had a very very short lucid moment. I also managed to have a conversation with an animal in the same dream, although when I was non-lucid. Also, said animal in question comes from a television show (My Little Pony ) but I didn’t “summon” it. I mean, in the dream I did turn on the television to watch My Little Pony, which I became a part of, but I didn’t… “summon” any ponies. And then I used technology in another normal dream. So yay.
For our team task, our team has decided that our cybernetic enhancements will aid flight. For our team advantage task, we are going the most direct route (but not necessarily the easiest route) of transforming into giant robots. The vote was quite close between these things and alternatives all week, but these things have a slight majority.
Again a ND in which I used a pc and an old wool making thing that I don’t know the English name for (edit: Siiw tells me it’s called a spinning wheel). I also tamed a dragon. Is dragon an exotic animal?
Got a medium lenght LD tonight (I’m estimating 15-20 minutes), my recall wasn’t the best since it was early in the night and when typing it down afterwards I was extremely tired.
I didn’t really perform any tasks, managed to fly a few times however, I did think about the task but had trouble spawning stuff so I just went with the flow.
The short/medium/long/longest definitions are relative the dreamer. 5 minutes could be short for one dreamer and long for another. If you feel you had your longest LD at 15-20 minutes, you should mark it as such, not medium.
Had a FLD yesterday in which I fed pokemons. Chikorita and bulbasaur. It was incredibly realistic, I made food appear in my hand and fed them. Also had a ND of using one of those old corded phones with the dial pad on the phone.
-Used technology in a way it wasn’t intended
Made a mini motorcycle from a Bop It and massager in one, and an exercise ball. The Bop It/massager functioned as makeshift handlebars. Had a blast drifting and zipping through the store isles. Wish the mini motorcycle was an autobot too seeing how I would’ve completed another task.
-Saw my former pet
It was a bit strange, but hey it could’ve been worse.[/color]
So… a long LD. Looks like my SC tried to make sure I’d get points for something at least… the things I did do… I did multiple times. Sadly, I misrecalled other things and thought I did more than I really did… my “outdated technology” wasn’t really outdated and the task is to become a giant robot not fight one with a team member. Still, a pretty awesome LD here.
