task of the month

Got to bed really late and had no hope of getting lucid, but somehow it worked out! Woke up several times and the last bit was lucid!

-WILD into my livingroom, feeling very prickly. I feel like all my hair is standing on end and really hard, like plastic. In some spots the hairs feel like plastic hooks like on velcro. Sounds are really loud and clear and things feel freaky. I push through this and float out the front door before immediately thinking of the moon rock eating task. I zip back inside the open door and down a hallway. I hear my daughter whining and getting closer quickly. I reach a table at a corner of the hall and it has a bowl of rocks on it, among other junk. I look through the bowl and find a grey rock filled with holes which I KNOW is a moon rock. It feels really hard and I'm hesitant to bite it, but I do so carefully. It hurts my teeth a lot but finally breaks in half. I try to chew the half in my mouth but it won't break up anymore. It tastes like salt and minerals. I finally just swallow it like a pill. When I turn around, my daughter has crawled around the corner and is watching me. I grab her and phase out of the house through the window. I figure she's gonna follow me anyway and I might as well take her with me. This turns into a long non-lucid about live action D&D in my grandma's old back yard, very fun.

-DEILD back in (an actual chain! It's been so long! ) to my living room and Lk is there walking around. It feels odd and very real and I'm not QUITE sure I'm dreaming so I do an RC and sure enough I am. Lk has some kind of problem going on or some kind a question he needs answered and we both know that H can answer it. I tell Lk this and he agrees. I figure H is coming over, but Lk just sits down and gets on the phone with him. I refuse to give up on H coming here, so I decide to help it along with my expectation powers. I think to myself that they're just talking on the phone while he drives this way. I walk towards the door that leads to the car port and I see headlights pull up into it. I walk out and H is in the driver's seat of a big, nice SUV which I think is white. He gets out and I move stuff out of his way so he can get to the door. As he goes in I stay really close to him and put off an intimate vibe and he leans down and kisses me on the forehead... I'll take it lol. This devolves into a NLD where we all try to figure out the problem or whatever it was.

I'm gonna count that kiss persuasion as mind control because I didn't use any language or signals etc.

-Hanging out with about five people in a room in my house. One of them is M and he's the only one standing up, right across from me, playing guitar with a somber expression. I can't remember where the conversation was, but after some guy to my left says something, M chimes in by saying that he regrets "making (girls?women?) wait for hours," then he leans forward, stops playing, gives me a pained, meaningful look and says, "Do you think that was a mistake, too?" I almost cry looking into those eyes, so I turn mine down and think before being honest and saying, "Sometimes.." M looks conflicted between hope and despair, then I say in a lower tone, "But this is another life.. y'know?" M just sadly nods, gets his things together and leaves. I feel terrible, like I've torn out his heart, and the extreme emotion makes me semi-lucid. I start floating, phase out of the house, then fly after M, who's just turning the corner. It's sunset and warm light is streaming down from the left. I swoop around to get a good look at M and I see that he's as close to crying as a guy can be without actually shedding tears. I feel awful, but something about all this makes my lucidity rise up and I realize I don't care. I start flying back towards the house and see a female DC with short black hair walking towards the neighbor's house like she lives there. There are a few more DCs waiting for her on the porch. I fly rapidly up to her face and point at her, screeching. I just feel like scaring the crap out of something. At first, her eyes widen in surprise, then she settles into aloofness, giving me a look like, Ha! you can't do anything to me. I then "remember" that she used to be a powerful, evil witch, but her soul was taken out and put into this new body so that she would no longer have powers. At first I'm a little uneasy, then I get cocky because of her having no powers. I buzz around her head like a giant, annoying fly for a bit, having fun teasing her, before fading into some vague non-lucidity then waking up.

-DEILD into a low-awareness lucid in my bedroom. I realize I'm in a dream state, but that's about where my lucidity ends. I just sit there on the edge of my bed and think about the previous dream, which brings me to M. I start imagining myself being very forward with him and asking for sex, but I think that he'd be afraid for some reason. Then something clicks in my head and I think, no of course he wouldn't be. I get up and try to summon him for a second, but decide to stop so I don't end up ending the dream. Instead I go to the window. Outside is the front yard of my Dad's house. I "remember" that C has already left for work, but I see the car parked part-way in the shed. It looks different though. I look around some more and see a more accurate representation of it parked under the trees with C inside. He seems to be on the phone. I phase outside and into the passenger seat of the car. C ignores me and continues talking on the phone. I FINALLY think about the totms and remember the music one first. I turn on the car stereo and the repetitive music from one of my daughter's toys starts playing. I'll have to make a recording of that later.. Only other thing I remember is phasing out of the car and flying off.

I'm lucid with C and some random DCs, just having fun in some weird-looking building when suddenly my awareness spikes upward and I remember the seed task. I immediately start walking outside. I find myself on a strip of dirt and grass about two feet wide with tall chain-link fences on either side. I see a dandelion growing near my feet so I reach down and pinch off a piece of the middle of a bloom. I change this into a seed in between my fingers. I walk a few more steps, then plant it in the ground. I find more seeds in my hand so I plant them at different depths further along the path. I turn around at the end and look back where I planted everything. There's nothing coming up yet so I raise my hands up slowly and powerfully, willing, pulling the plants up out of the ground. Three scraggly bushes come up, two of which are green. The one I'd focused the most on, the one in the middle, is completely brown and dead and as I continue to pull up it comes right out of the ground and falls over. I frown and walk away.
