Managed to do the advanced lucid task. And it was only my second lengthy lucid dream. Woohoo.

The dream started with a false awakening. In my case false awakenings are the easiest way to obtain lucidity, since I always do reality checks when I wake up. Anyway, I got up, started to walk out the door, did a nose check, and realized I was dreaming. It was nighttime, and since I hate dreams at night, I blinked and turned on the sun. This is the first time I've altered my surroundings in any way, so it was pretty interesting. Then, remembering the task, I walked back to my pet rat's cage and asked him what he thought of me.

There was a short pause. Then he said, "I like you, and it was nice when you came back." This presumably referred to my return from the camping trip, since he was not fed while I was gone. It was kind of funny because his face muscles moved in a bunch of different directions, like some sort of bad animated movie.

The rest of the dream wasn't that interesting. I teleported outside and flew around a bit before losing lucidity.

But doing the task was interesting.
