My DJ is posted. I only managed to tie one shoe, so no bonus wings for me yet.
Spoiler for Shoe task excerpt:
I walked through a door, back into the house I'd started in. A task came to mind: Basic Task ii - Find and put on a pair of shoes, any kind (bonus wings if you can tie both.) This was actually the task that interested me the least this month, so I thought for another minute to see if I could remember the other tasks I wanted to do first. None came to me, so I decided to get this basic task done while I had the chance.
I walked into another room where I'd been earlier in the dream, affirming that there would be a pair of shoes waiting on the floor for me. I realised that I was only wearing socks, so I didn't have to remove my own shoes. I saw a pair of men's sneakers sitting in the corner of the room, next to a pot plant. They looked too big for me, but I thought they'd be easy to slip on. I knelt down and made sure that mini-CanisLucidus was still balanced safely on my shoulder. I started sliding my foot into the first sneaker and everything seemed to be going very smoothly. I had been half-anticipating some kind of complication, and I started analysing the situation too much.
I thought, "Maybe there's some reason why everyone was so interested in this... it seems way too easy to be a bonus task if you can tie them. Maybe it's just a matter of staying in the dream for long enough..."
Sure enough, once I started thinking about this, the dream responded with a complication. The shoes now felt like they had something stuffed inside them near the toes, and it made them hard to squeeze into. I tried to ignore this sensation and focus on the task being effortless again, and I eventually got my feet in.
The laces had old half-tied knots already, so I untied them to set up for the next part of the task. I seemed to be stepping on the ends of the laces, so I stretched them out and then started to tie them. I had no trouble with the right shoe, but as I grabbed the laces from the left shoe, I heard my mum's voice, like she had just walked into the room.
I wasn't sure if this sound was coming from the dream or waking life (for some reason, the possibility of her really being in my house wasn't weird.) I was trying to think of ways to tell her that I was dreaming and needed a minute, in case I could communicate with her from within the dream.
I felt myself waking up and took a moment to decide whether to try for a DEILD, but I thought I'd better just write this DJ and look up the tasks again so I can be better prepared next time.
