Magic Box

I was walking home when I saw a neighbor washing her clothes in a basin. There was also another basin beside her, filled with clear water. I got lucid right away because of the unusual scene, and I did the noseplug. It didn't work!!! D: D: D:

But I was so sure that it was a dream! I pinched my nose again, and it still didn't work. I went near my neighbor and said, "This is a dream, right?". She said, "Yes", while still washing her clothes. I pinched my nose a third time, really imagining myself breathing, and voila! I could breathe through my nose. I looked at the basin with water in it, and held my hand out to waterbend it. But all I could manage to do was create small ripples in the water. I tried concentrating hard, but I couldn't manipulate it as well as I normally could. I was getting a bit frustrated, thinking my control sucked so bad. I also recall thinking "LucidAvenger is jynxing me!" (We were talking on IRC earlier about my waterbending)

I walked away, trying to remember my lucid goals for the month. I must've lost lucidity somewhere in between. I remember drifting off into some non-lucids before I finally woke up to my alarm.
