Title: "My Third WILD - That Goddamned Malfunctioning Dream-PDA&#33;"

<span style="color:#000099">I&#39;m standing in my bedroom with my eyes closed. I realise I have my eyes close, and think to myself "Okay, better open my eyes, but be careful: I don&#39;t want to open my real eyes, just my dream-eyes. I manage to do so, but I have trouble FULLY opening them. The room is dark, and not very vivid. I can&#39;t fix this, though I try. It&#39;s also not my bedroom.

There are two beds, both singles, the one on my left (I&#39;m standing away from them) I came from. As I hover forwards (I&#39;m half-walking, half-hovering in this LD) I hear a snore or cough from the other bed to my right. I think this is because in real-life, my flatmate may have coughed or turned over in the bedroom next to mine, and it supplanted itself into my dream. There&#39;s a desk to my left, but the room is otherwise empty - I can&#39;t see mich of it anyway because the gorram dream&#39;s so gorram DARK.

The floor is carpeted, and I notice there&#39;s hundreds of little black specks in the carpety, which are either clumps of dirt, or tiny LEGO blocks. Can&#39;t work out which. I make my way to the doorway, and put a hand on the wall. I try to stabilise the dream by concentrating, but it doesn&#39;t gorram work&#33; I look at the back of my hand, which I can&#39;t see because of the darkness of the dream, and I try to concentrate on the texture of the wall. Neither work. I think of yelling out "Vividity 100% NOW&#33;" But I think somehow I get distracted and forget to do this, or chicken out.

And then, I pull out from my pocket:

My handy-dandy Dream-PDA&#33; (Which, by the way, I&#39;ve never seen before in my entire life, dream or real-life). It&#39;s cool. It&#39;s black, with a blue-green illuminated screen.

It has shitloads of data and graphs and stuff on, all updated in real-time. There&#39;s one meter that says "Dream Vividity 87%" and "Lucidity 45%" and stuff like that. (I&#39;m still mostly lucid BTW. I am wondering where this gorram PDA came from, though)

But then something screwy happens. The screen of the BDA goes glitchy, and the lights start to flicker. Sparks and vibrations, and I realise: It&#39;s going to crap out&#33; I&#39;m afraid it&#39;ll blow up, so I chuck it to the ground. IT turns off and goes DED. Dee Eee Dee. DED.

And I think to myself: "GORRAM SCREWY DREAM F%&&#036;ING ELECTRONICS&#33; WHY WONT ELECTRONICS WORK IN MY GORRAM GREAM&#33;"

I get reall pissed off at the PDA not working, as I think it could have helped my stabilise the dream (It was the most vivid object in the dream). I think it&#39;s this anger that wakes me up.

Sucks about the lack of clarity in the dream. but still - WOOHOO WILD&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;





So, I have a few questions: Why was my dream so gorram dark and unclear and "wobbly"? What can I do to stabilise the dream other than what I already tried? Do I just need to "wait it out" and stay in the dream longer than 30 or 40 seconds, and it will stabilise itself? And why didn&#39;t my awesome dream-PDA work? GAH&#33; I hate screwy dream-electronics.
