I don't know if we need a new category. Maybe we just need to make sure at least one of the basic tasks is really basic. Something that takes just seconds to do and can work wherever the dreamer is located. When I started out, those are the basic tasks I gravitated to, and once I started intending to do TOTMs as an LD goal, I didn't have much issue with performing them. Tasks like "ask a DC <something>" I think make good "regular" basic tasks, not needing a special category.
