I, of course, immediately recognized my dream sign, but my brain told me, "It's not a dream, this house you're in produces lucidity-like feelings!" And I totally bought it

So I started floating around thinking this was the coolest house in the world... luckily I figured out this whole notion was pretty absurd and this truly was a dream

Patience, you'll get there, too
