Lucid Non-lucid

I'm being sedated for brain surgery. The IV is strangely inserted in my neck. I become lucid at almost the exact moment I fade into a second abyss due to the sedation. Whatever chemical they decided to employ radiates an unpleasant burning sensation. I'm in an awake sleep and watch them do whatever it was they were set out to do. It's finished. I'm watching them ease off the sedation. I'm discussing the sedation technique with the anesthesiologist. Surgery went well.

I'm exiting the building with another person. We're greeted by a black Cadillac, which for some reason appears to be mine. However I can't stop staring at giant hind frog legs which are attached to the trunk of the vehicle. I hope there's an alternative.

On a WBTB I'm greeted by a large face. The gender is undecipherable as is the race. The skin looks raw and painful. Whatever this person is they're in considerable pain. I watch as the person or thing continues to flood my ears with piercing screams. I'm about to act to subside the pain which will subside the screaming which will subside the ear splitting pitch but I stop myself. What right do I have to intervene? Maybe this person is being punished? What if they're not? Hrm. I decide to put the thing to sleep for a moment while I decide. My tactic isn't successful. I freeze time instead and walk over to a chair. It's actually a throne in what appears to be an underground cavern environment. I sit for a moment to ponder how I'd like to act. I wake before I find out.
