Cities in the Astral

Current Task: Grow from the ground complete and accurate plants (Tomatoes and bananas), have them bear fruit. eat the fruit and have the taste and texture be fairly correct.

Attempt 2: DILD, accidental.

I was just dreaming about random stuff and did an RC which worked. I did my click my teeth together and run the tip of my tongue over my front teeth RC. The sound was muffled and the teeth felt less than clear, like a blurry sense of touch. I became lucid.

I quickly became very aware and remembered my goal. I erased the current visuals and looked at the ground. I focused on the idea of plant sprouting. Last time the tomato looked stick like. This time (I have been staring at a real tomato plant lately) the tomato plant looked about as perfect as I could hope, but its manner of sprouting was more like watching the plant be created a layer at a time from the bottom up, much like a 3d printer. The final plant was great looking and bore fruit. At this point the dream was fading so I stabilized. In the process of stabilizing the visuals had been erased.

I decided to just accept that that was a great run at the tomato and to move on to my first attempt at bananas. I looked at the ground and made a plant sprout. Bananas are trees, so I made it thick and powerful, but when it was only about 6 foot tall the visuals showed something that looked segmented like a piece of Christmas cactus. I imagined how it should look and it morphed in stages until it was a perfect 12 foot tall banana tree and sprouted clusters of bananas. I noticed the bananas did not have a bold yellow color, but were brownish. I decided that was fine as many bananas are not so vibrant yellow as store bought ones. The dream started to fade again, and when I stabilized again, the tree was gone.

I knew I had not ate the fruit, so I created a nice banana in my hand. I decided that was actually pointless as I want the sequence to flow unbroken from sprout to eating the fruit. At this point something IRL woke me up.
