Failure for Basic I (forgotten Xmas present) LINK TO DJ
Spoiler for Jan TotM Basic I:
Tryed the bonus task as I love the idea of going to Pandora. I tryed to make a portal a few times, funny thing came on wall asking me for my wifes credit card so I walked off and continued not to get there. Next time will expect to find Pandora when I open a door. I'd love to be able to fly to Pandora but usually can only fly to a certain hight and not all the way to space
Doh! Last night I made two attempts at Basic Task i and after the second attempt I thought I had nailed it, but it seems that I did not properly memorize the task. I had remembered it (even in waking life) as "Find a forgotten Christmas present and open it," but now that I look at the list again, I see that the instructions specify that it should be found "under the tree"! So my success was hindered by poor preparation, but I'll still post an excerpt from my second attempt because I liked the gift I found:
Quote:
Looking around, I soon spotted a wrapped gift on the bedside table. It was a small square box, around two inches wide and one inch high, made of that shiny gold cardboard that is common in gift boxes, and wrapped with a red ribbon. I started to untie the ribbon and realized that I was wearing gloves. At first I thought it an oddity, but quickly understood that it was just the dream's way of representing the slight awkwardness I felt in my fingers as I tried to complete this fine motor activity. I considered pulling off the gloves but recognized that it would just be a pointless waste of time, and decided instead to ignore them. At least they were thin gloves, and didn't impede me that much in my attempt to open the box. By the time it was open, they were gone.
This time I was very pleased with what I found in the box. It looked like a single confection of some sort. "Perfect, I love food!" I thought to myself happily. I pulled it out and looked it over. It was not very distinguished in shape, light brown in color and vaguely round, but a bit lumpy. There was a darker spot in the center like a piece of chocolate. [Possible source: I've been eating my mother's Christmas cookies, which have a spot of apricot jam covered with chocolate in the center. They have a much firmer texture overall than this one did, though.] The surface was dry but felt a bit pliant between my fingers, a sort of rubbery texture.
I bit into the confection and found the mouthfeel similar to what the outer texture had led me to anticipate. There was just the hint of a thin crust, and then the inside was soft but chewy. It reminded me of mochi but was firmer and easier to chew. At this point I was analyzing it with the idea of possibly attempting to recreate it in waking life. I knew that it would have to be based on glutinous rice flour. However, the overall taste was lightly chocolatey and fruity. I looked where I had bitten and distinctly saw raisins, both black and gold. There were also pieces of another fruit that was harder to identify. It had faint striations that reminded me of the fresh jackfruit I had eaten last night in WL (so that was probably the source), but this had the texture of a dried fruit. Can jackfruit be dried and baked into cookies? I couldn't say. If not, I thought that dried apricot might work just as well. The taste could have been either; it was hard to tell with all the other flavors going on. I finished the confection and found it very satisfying. If I ever do manage to recreate something like this, I'll have to post the recipe here!

Ask a Pencil to draw something
Spoiler for Dream:
I'm going to try
Advanced Task i - Ask a pencil to draw something. (Naturespirit)
I'm not sure if I should write a spoiler here, but next time I am lucid I am going to close my eyes, say take me to my art studio, find a pencil and tell it to draw something. Can't wait. :)
I was able to get the "ask a pencil to draw something" task done! :)
(Although, I hope it still counts, since I didn't really "ask" it to draw something. I just "willed" it to draw something, without trying to influence what it was.)
Spoiler for Dream:
Having done it as a Task I think is what counts.. However you did it or whatever it drew is probably not relevant so I would say it counts..Don't forget to apply to permission groups in your control panel for wings.
I tried something very similar but got way different results..I simply said "Hey Dream, I want a pencil to draw something or me" A girl with four arms appeared and handed me three items,
A chunk of wood, A hoop of barbed wire and an ice cube tray and 'Ordered" me to stuff them down my pants and jump down a slide to the level below. I obeyed her but only got halfway down the slide when I woke up.....
Advanced Task i - Ask a pencil to draw something.
while lucid in the current contest going on, I decide to ask a pencil to draw.
Spoiler for Advanced Task i:
I attempted getting a massage from a DC, but the only DC I had available was a dog and the dog used its head rather than its paws to give me a belly rub. I read that massages by definition are only done with hands.
^^
There are also ones where they walk with feet on your back. I say the dog did his best! :D
