I'm sitting at my computer desk in my bedroom. I'm looking at the monitor, which is an old CRT monitor instead of a flat screen. I'm looking at a folder browser. It has a bunch of zip files. I navigate through some other similar folders. I stop in one that has only one file. This surprises me for some reason. Then I look at the folder options and it shows that it's only showing recently created files. There's a button to show all files. Wait, this is weird. I don't think Windows has this feature.

I become lucid but the scene shifts abruptly. I am still at my desk in my room. But the monitor is off and am I suddenly aware of the rest of the room. It's completely dark except for a flashing white light outside. Maybe it's raining. The light barely slips in through the vertical blinds but I can tell it is bright. It's intense like lightning but it's pulsing about every two seconds. As the light flashes, the room is briefly illuminated but there's no color. It's like a black and white movie.

I see my hands in front of me. My vision seems blurry and two-dimensional. I concentrate. Stabilize! I rub my hands and I see them move but I can't feel them touch each other. Gradually the picture sharpens and seems more three-dimensional. The flashing light becomes steady and it seems calm.

Now what? I haven't been lucid it about a week and I am unprepared. I look to my left toward my bed. The sheets are grayish-white and the pillow is out of place in the middle of the bed. I suddenly wake up.
