I did it.

I completed the first task, of adopting a pet. I had some type of SP going on, and I stood up from my bed, but things were different, and I realized it was a dream. I walked into my living room, and thought about logging on to dreamviews to see if I could post a message from my dream (how cool would THAT be?). But I remembered the task, and went outside, and searched for a shelter. This wouldn't be easy, since it was all just houses. I started climbing over fences, telling myself a shelter would be in sight. Finally I was able to manipulate and create a strange "backyard shelter". I climbed over a fence, and there in an enclosed backyard was some type of shelter paradise for cats. There was grass, a pool, flowers. All the cats were being kept enclosed in this backyard, and they looked happy. I went over to the pool, where a cat was actually swimming. I said to the group "How is my cat Captain? (Captain died a few years ago, so I was asking for some reason how he was.) They did not respond. I decided to adopt. The cat swimming in the pool was a Bengal breed of cat. Very leopard looking, tan with black spots. I called him and he came out of the pool to me. After that I lost lucidity, and one of the headcrab people from HL2 (the speedy ones that are on crack it seems) jumped out of a window and attacked us or something...
