I’m in this alleyway that’s apparently beside my house. There’s brick walls on each side, a couple arches, and a fire escape that’s further up. Three women in Victorian dresses run past me and start climbing up the wall, Assassin’s Creed style. I’m mildly impressed they can be so limber in such restrictive clothing. Under one of the archways, I see a metal ceiling fan, which has been partially covered with strange glow-in-the-dark paper. It actually looks kinda neat, so I grab some paper and tape off of the ground and start finishing the job.

I wake up for a quick WBTB (gotta be quick, anyway, since my job requires me to get up fairly early, so I need all the sleep I can get). I’m now in my college auditorium, where there’s some celebrity singer performing a concert. I’m standing backstage, and I catch a glimpse of the drummer - it’s one of my friends from high school. I’m pretty happy for him - he was one of the best drummers I’d ever seen in high school, and I’m glad he’s doing okay.

I’m now back in my dorm, apparently some time after the concert. I walk from room to room with my laptop, trying to find the best WiFi reception. As I go through the hallway, i notice some girls I know from high school walking through. Weird, this isn’t a co-ed dorm. Oh, I’m dreaming! As I realize this, the hallway transforms into the hallway leading to my bedroom in my house. I rub my hands together, convincing myself this is a very stable lucid dream. I run into my bedroom and try to lift myself off the ground through sheer willpower, but I can’t do it. Huh, I guess not having a quality lucid in forever has really messed with my control. I decide that maybe it has something to do with the low ceiling in my house. I spot my window over my bed, so I take a running start and dive through. The scene switches to slow motion, as I watch the glass shatter around me, with me twisting in mid-air just above the overhang of the first-floor. It’s a pretty neat effect, kinda like an action movie, but everything goes back to normal speed as I roll out onto the overhang. I stand up and find I’m completely unharmed. Guess that counts for Gain Invulnerability. I try once more to fly, this time starting with a jump, but I start to float back down to the ground. I kick my legs in mid-air like a Yoshi, which causes me to stop falling and slowly start floating upwards. It’s not graceful by any means, but it works. As I get slightly higher, I notice the sky isn’t really a sky - it’s more like clouds painted onto a transparent ceiling with nothing but blue behind it. The ceiling is really low, and I bump my head into it, causing me to black out.

I wake up in a strange bed and sit upright. Everything around me looks strangely textured, like I’m in a low-quality 3D animated movie. That can’t be right… I plug my nose to RC, and find that I’m still dreaming. There’s a hole in the middle of the floor, so I drop through it and find myself in a huge cafeteria, where people are eating, but no one seems to notice me. Alright, let’s start knocking out some more tasks. I first go for some telekinesis. I jump up on one of the tables and spot some unaccompanied plates beside me. I reach out my hand and manage to make some of them float. I turn another direction and lift a couple more plates and pieces of food in another part of the room. Having built up my confidence, I turn towards the center of the room, where most of the people are, and stretch out my hand. Suddenly a ton of stuff starts floating - plates, food, forks, knives, glasses, and even a trash can. Everyone starts looking around, wondering what’s going on, while I quietly sneak away, giggling to myself.

I spot a glass door leading to the outside, so I try to knock out my 3rd 3-step task. I blink and do a quick nod with my head, and I’m suddenly on the other side of the door. Outside looks like New York in Tom Clancy’s The Division - there’s snow on the ground, and a ton of large, heavy objects in the street to hide behind. Some guy sees me and quickly points a gun at my head. Luckily, I know I’m dreaming. “That won’t do you any good.” He stops, contemplates for a bit, and then puts the gun down. Instead, he hands me a business card for a special lucid dreamer order of the Assassins. He then darts off and climbs the building next to us, chased soon after by a couple firemen with ladders. At this point I lose lucidity, and the dream turns into a weird movie, where I’m being played by some guy that’s a mix between Matt Damon and Adam Sandler.
