That's fantastic, congrats on the lds and the successful chaining, Camdave!

It looks like your confidence played a great role with inducing the lds! I liked how you went from non-ld to ld after this DC told you about your reward. Nice dream control too!

Your contemplations about realism and out-of-place items are interesting. I haven't thought of the randomness as a result of being further away from waking, but it makes sense.
