AB's parents are preparing for a trip. They are sorting clothes out and packing. I realise some of my dirty washing is upstairs. (It is unclear whose house this is, ours or theirs, it bears no resemblance to either.) I climb up the side of the staircase, holding on to the balusters (yeah I had to look that up) - the vertical railings. On the top floor is a single large room split into sections with large pieces of furniture. A trailing flex and electrical plug is dancing in the air. That's a bit weird. I pinch my nose to RC. This is a dream.

The room has become suddenly populated and there are various DCs sitting on the floor. One girl with long strawberry blonde hair catches my eye and I head over to talk to her. However she seems to already have a boyfriend, as a nearby guy starts joining in the conversation. He is tall and slim, with dark hair. Anyway, so I ask her for a kiss and she agrees. The guy starts suggesting things of a sexual nature that make it clear even if they are a couple they are very open to new experiences. Err well. Maybe later.

A nearby DC starts saying that it is impossible to leave this place. There are no planes, no trains. That reminds me. Tasks.

Remembering the black hole task I ask the girl and guy to follow me. The exit to the room leads via some falling down doorways into a slightly more open space. I then get them to hold hands and explain about the task to go through a black hole. They seem up for trying it with me.

How to open a black hole. Well maybe I can just tear a hole in the universe and everything will get dragged out like a vacuum. So I assume a wide stance and focus, putting my hands together I grab reality and literally rip it apart. A black void opens between my hands and I struggle to control it. It is about the size of a football.

Widening the distance between my hands enlarges it to a big black disc with nothing on the other side. I tell the couple I just met to jump through and they do, one at a time. The girl shouts something like "see you on the other side." It is hard to hear over the noise of the wind rushing past into the hole. Then I just let go and feel myself falling through darkness. As it occurs to me to try and slow my fall I hit the ground. We are in a grassy park on top of a hill. I can see the couple standing there grinning.

That was cool, they agree. We've escaped the dream world to another dimension. The park is filled with DCs which seem to be meditating, and beyond the park is a city made of tall glass buildings. The couple want to go exploring but now I'm hungry to earn more points. We agree to meet later. They pull out their phones and make two buttons pop up on the screen. It says tattoo? with two buttons - yes, no. Yeah why not! I hit yes and the couple say they will go find somewhere we can get tattoos and then text me.

I find a bar and start trying to think of other dream powers to try and recall mass telekinesis/gravity manipulation. I start lifting each patron of the bar into the air and making them glide around as if weightless. This impresses some more than others. When I finally drop them carefully to the ground a blonde woman comes over to me. She seems in the mood for a bit of distraction and I allow myself a bit of adult playtime in the private room next door before remembering the competition, apologising, and then phasing out through the window and wall.

The street is full of bicycles and cars. I steal a bicycle and start to ride for a bit before transforming it into a motorbike by twisting an imaginary throttle and making the noise, forcing it to move forwards without pedal power. After a bit of effort it starts to work properly, and looking down it has taken on the increased size and weight of a motorbike.

The street turns into a busy market. There are crowds of people. I start to weave slowly through them, still on the bike. They get out of the way without too much hassle. After a short time I wake.
