I'm a crew member of a spaceship looking to recolonize a new planet.
Dreamer is part of the crew, as are several people I know from waking life.
Our ship crash-lands on an alien planet. It's just like Earth but we decide that the planet isn't good enough for us and we're all desperate to escape.
To escape, we have to build an advanced telescopic device that requires parts from a dozen human eyeballs. The captain of the ship volunteers his eye first and I am tasked with performing the eyeball removal!

It's easy but very gross. I cut the optic nerve with a little scalpel, carry the eyeball away and put it on this little eyeball shelf outside.
I'm totally scared to do this, but then
Dreamer cheerfully volunteers to donate an eyeball. I assume it's because she has done Task of the Month before.

Inspired, I volunteer my left eye.
I wind up doing several more surgeries (fortunately not on myself or on
Dreamer that I can remember.) The telescope gets built and even though I don't remember losing my own eye, I'm extra careful with my eye the rest of the dream since I think that I only have one now, but "just forgot" the surgery.
