    Ophelia's Book O' Fun II

    Basic & Advanced TOTMs i

    I was naughty and went to bed at 3am because I knew I could sleep in forever, so I really didn't deserve these 2 LDs, but here they are anyway

    I WILDed probably around 8am. After the vibrations settled, I opened my eyes and was in my room and in bed, per pretty usual. I fought with many layers of blankets and finally got up, but then I woke up. I went back to sleep and ended up in a nonlucid in a grocery store. I was walking down the frozen aisle, when it hit me that I was JUST awake a few moments ago in my bed, trying to lucid dream. BOOM! I remembered the basic I task right away, so I looked for a dream character. My mom was in the frozen aisle too, looking through some frozen items. I said "Mom?" and she looked at me. "Can I have one of my Christmas presents early this year?" She said "Ok" as she started pushing her cart towards one of the registers. When we got in line, there were some floral arrangements on one of the endcaps. She picked one and gave it to me. It was a small, thin glass vase with 4 orchid blossoms in it. They were the most intense, hypercolored purple I'd ever seen. I said "Wow, thank you mom!!" And I was fiddling with them, kinda rearranging them. As I did that, 2 yellow gerbera daisies also appeared in the vase, then 3 roses too. I'm glad that happened, because it kinda snapped me back into the fact that I was dreaming, so I could do another task. I said "Ok by mom, I gotta go do some stuff," and I just set the vase in her cart.

    When I got outside, it had snowed everywhere. ANd it looked like a tiny town in Montana or something, with mountains everywhere and everyone dressed like they were going to go ski. I took to flight, and just swam in the air. I tried to think of another task, and all I could think of was the snowman one (and how I kinda didn't really want to do it). As I was in the air, I saw AND heard wolves and bears in the mountains. I thought how much I really wanted to fly there and either battle or befriend them (wolf task HELLOOOOO... oh well). I promised myself I would after the task. I landed on a nice pile of snow across the street from the grocery store. It didn't seem like enough snow, so I willed it to snow (a skill I acquired from one of last year's tasks ). After a few inches accumulated, I got straight on my knees and started trying to form the traditional snowman from 2 big balls of snow. But they would morph a bit while I was making them, and the falling snow kept accumulating around him, basically forming him back into a big amorphic snow pile. I decided to go with it, and instead of sculpting a snowman, I decided to carve him out of the giant snow pile. I made him look a little cubic, with a weird mouth. Kind of like a cross between a robot and an Aztec god. I wasn't even using my hands, I just willed chunks of snow to fall away, leaving the relief of a snow-robot, partially embedded in the drift. I said "Ok, WALK," and when I did, he stepped out of the drift, and marched kinda robot soldier style. At this point, he wasn't even snow anymore, it was pure, clear ice somehow. Probably because I felt a bit like I was doing an ice sculpture rather than snow molding, if that makes any sense. Satisfied with my marching iceman, I thought about heading for the woods, but then I woke up.

      Man, I gotta re-read this more often. That's how things start to work for me, by me reading it and believing it.

      I already did this twice when WILDing. But both times I was not able to keep my eyes opened. They were like on a bungy-cord, being pulled shut. But I have seen myself on a sofa, same clothes, same position and everything as I knew I was. So friggin realistic. I wanna start my wilds like that. Have to work on keeping my eyes opened. Thank you for posting this.

      Congrats on the lds, OB! Really cool with the robo aztec snowman.

      The great thing about this month's advanced tasks is that we may have to practice weather manipulation too!

      Nice!! Yes I, too, love that Robo Quetzalcoatl Snowman! I'm way impressed that you pulled off the Christmas Miracle of going to bed at 3 AM and still doing such quality LDing.

      I remember the snowing task well from last year! Hard to believe that it's been a whole year since then. I was even listening to you and RC podcast about these tasks... the one with the little Christmas music kind of tinkling in the background. I mean, tinkling as in the musical sense, not in the "yellow snow" sense, ha ha...

      Anyway, great work!

      Lol CL. You know, I got to see some real yellow snow today. For a Texan, that's saying something

      Ice robot looked a bit more like Tonatiuh

      LOL. Congrats on seeing the Yellow Snow of Texas. You did say "see" rather than "produce", but I noticed you were vague on this point.

      Wow, according to Google Images, the Tonatiuh look must have been really cool!

      Haha yeah, a little neighborhood Chihuahua produced the yellow snow, right next to the frozen tootsie roll

      It was funny too, because it was no further than the end of the sidewalk. "It's coooooooold holy hell gotta make this quick!!!"

      I suspect the "tootsie roll" was not really a "tootsie rool". Unless it was still wraped. Just saying : D

      LOL @ steaming. Yes, this is quite the visual effect. Especially after my two 60-pound dogs have done their work.
