Well I completed the easy task and "attempted" the advanced task.

I woke up at 4 am and went back to bed repeating in my head what the tasks were that I needed to complete. I realized I was dreaming, stood up and walked over to the window. I tried to go "through" it but my "control" wasn't strong enough so I ended up pushing the window out and jumping to the ground.

I find myself in a backyard where some kind of a family get-together is taking place. I notice a young boy of about 8 years old sitting alone at a patio table and I decide he looks like he needs a present!!

I walk right up to him and he looks up at me smiling. I ask him if he'd like a surprise (which when I think of it now might have seemed kind of a "creepy" question coming from a perfect stranger)! But he begins to laugh and shakes his head yes. Suddenly it dawns on me that I have NO present!! I don't even have an IDEA for a present!! He continues to look hopefully up at me and I put my hands behind my back and.. NOTHING appears (remember that I stated earlier that this was one of my very low-level control LDs).

In my quick thinking.. I laugh and whip my hands in front of me and state that the present is .. INVISIBLE!! Luckily the boy laughs!

I decide to try again and put my hands behind my back and "will" something to appear there. When I bring my hands around in front of me this time, I am holding a weirdly shaped package!

The boy is excited and I am too cuz I have NO IDEA what I have in my hands!!!

I hold the package out to the boy and he tears off the wrapping paper (which is more or less a sealed brown paper bag).

Imagine my delight when it turns out to be THREE individual FISH BOWLS.. only they were RECTANGULAR in shape and stacked one on top of the other!! They were all about 2 inches in height but the top one was about 3 inches long, the middle one was about 4 inches long and the bottom one was about 5 inches long and each contained their own color of tiny neon fish .. blue, green or red!! It was sooo pretty and so unplanned.. I'd never seen anything like it and I was truely impressed that my mind came up with it!!

Suddenly I remembered that I was going to read the mind of the person I gave the gift to to see if they really liked it.. and I tried.. but nothing was coming to me from the boy other than his genuine excitement.

Oh well.. the month is young!!

Try.. try.. again!!
