I've got an idea for a trick you could use if you were set on flying to Jupiter from Earth. Nasa probes and other unmanned craft use the gravity and orbits of planets to their advantage. They're programmed to travel in such a way that they enter the gravitational pull of planets on the way to their destination at a slightly shallow angle, so that instead of entering orbit, they are sling-shot onto the next planet and so on.
Or you could just imagine you have hyper-speed drives in your feet
Always, no sometimes think it's me,
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a yes
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree
-John Lennon
ya, yours are always fun to read. I hope that I can complete atleast the basic task this month. Its to bad because I flew over a pirate ship in the ocean in a lucid a couple days before the task came out.
[...]
I take a step through the fabric of space, teleporting a few 100 meters over the red spot of Jupiter.
I immediately start falling. Yeah... gravity, how did I not think of that?
Jupiter is huge! When I look at the horizon I cannot see any curvature, it's perfectly straight, as if it would be a plane of infinite size.
There is no sound as I fall, but I understand that is because I haven't entered the atmosphere yet.
Obviously I can't hear anything in the void of space.
I know I'll hit the outer atmosphere any second now, I can see the red layer of gas approaching very rapidly.
It looks like an absolutely massive tornado, reaching for possible thousands of kilometers, and I'm falling into the very center of it.
As soon as I hit the first clouds I can hear a massive thunderstorm. It is very loud, and it never stops growling.
I see lightning flashes everywhere, so I draw a protective bubble around myself, which lessens the pressure I feel all over my body and the intensity of the sound.
Although the smell is very faint, it smells a bit like an orange? How weird, I would have expected something more like sulfur.
I descend through many layers of clouds, and the intensity of the storm decreases as I go deeper.
Suddenly, a pocket in the clouds appears. There's a biodome floating in the middle of it!
I realize that I will hit it pretty hard if I don't slow down and instinctively summon my wings in order to do so.
Although I do slow down quickly I won't stop in time, but I know that's not a big issue.
Just before hitting the outer wall of the biodome I simply blink through it and end up on the other side.
I slow down and land on a big greenfield next to a sea.
The air tastes and smells very fresh, you get that sort of salty taste as if you're standing on the beach of a big ocean.
I was hoping to meet the inhabitants of this biodome, but it seems this place has been abandoned a long time ago, how unfortunate.
But I'm quite happy that I managed to do this and that I found something rather interesting.
I want to do the basic task as well, but I'm afraid to loose the dream if I go back to earth.
But then it strikes me, the basic task should be easier than the advanced one... I'll just summon a shipwreck right here.
My back is turned towards the sea, so as I turn around I expect there to be a shipwreck, and there is.
It's right under the water surface on the beach. It's an old wooden pirate ship.
I wonder if I can blink into water? Ah, what the hell, I'll just try.
I look at the ship and blink. OUCH!
Well, the good news is it works. The bad news is it feels like running head on into a brick wall.
I dive into the wreck, searching for a treasure chest.
It gets quite dark which I dislike, I know going into darkness can end dreams.
But then I find a wooden treasure chest... except... it's really really small.
It's maybe 10 by 10 centimeters, but it looks like a royal chest with jewels and everything on it.
I open it up, hoping to find something amazing.
As it opens, a few faint light rays emerge from it... woah!
Inside of the chest I find... well... a wooden Yo-Yo.
What the fuck? Seriously? What kind of treasure is that?
My vision slowly becomes darker and then blacks out.
I decide not to try to stabilize it and wake up instead to take notes.
Dreams are simple.
It's the painfully simple things the human mind cannot comprehend.
After all your mind is trained to understand the complexity of the waking world,
not the simplicity of the dream world.

Awesome dream, man. I suggest summoning the Yo-Yo and using it. The results may surprise you. GOOD JOB, ONEIRONAUT.
I am Juargawn, god of Nothing, a great rakshasa, a lion man, with light tiger stripes atop the Temple of Nothing, in the City of Nowhere in the Land of Aud on the muthafukkin Green Moon.
I survey the scene. I am above the jungle canopy. Flying cars float by. Birds swim on currents of nothing. An iridescent blue and black butterfly alights on my wrist. I look at the butterfly, and I can see its tiny tongue curled and its many eyes. It flits away. A breeze makes patterns in my fur, and I can see the individual hairs. The sun begins to set, and the sky turns pink and orange. I inhale deeply nothing-air.
Sarnox, my spectral flaming wraith High Priest joins me on the landing pad. We are standing on a picture of Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl battling eternally.
“Everything looks so fucking real, dog.”
“I know. It’s amazing.”
“This is real, isn’t it Sarnox?”
“Yes.”
I feel like crying, screaming, and laughing all at the same time. Instead, I just kneel and place my lion chin in my palm. I see I have dreadlocks now. I chuckle to myself.
A tiny man on a tiny hover vehicle, the size of a dragonfly, rides to me, and hands me a message in the form of a tiny envelope. I touch it, and it becomes a hologram of Raven. “Um, Nomad? Aren’t we going to the pirate ship?”
“Oh, shit! I forgot.” I turn, and enter the temple. A purple and black cape grows out from my neck. A silly purple and black top hat appears on my head, and I have a funny dancing cane. The hat becomes a great hood, and the cane becomes gnarled and twisted black wood. My eyes glow violet, and lightning flashes across my face as I stride toward The Mirror. I wave my staff across it, and it ripples like mercury. A scene of Raven planting flowers appears. She looks up at me, squints, and waves. I step through the mirror.
I go through a silvery wormhole going through the center of the Moon, and a beautiful silver and white wormhole Wyrm, grins at me as I bodysurf by.
I land next to Raven, on the Moon. My friend, Keiko, well, love interest, is somehow now there with me. She’s wearing a white robe, and holding a white staff with a caduceus at the top. I introduce her to Raven. Selene appears, and kisses Keiko on the cheek. Raven opens a portal to the Black Pearl.
We step in. In the wormhole we have an epic flash battle with a black dragon fighting the wormhole worm.
We are on a ghost ship in a dense fog. The sea is completely still. There are some nasty little bat things gnawing at us, which we toss into the portal. We instantly do healing on ourselves. The ghosts are everywhere. I scan Keiko. She seems right at home. Jack Sparrow steps out from among them. A green mist rises from his skin.
“Well, hello there, strange people things.... Ah, I know you!” He walks to Raven, and makes out with her. I laugh.
“Let us to the treasure! I mean, lead us to the treasure!” Jack Sparrow proclaims loudly.
“Who are you talking to?” I ask.
“Uh... me? Me. No, wait, aha, hear it is! My little treasure fairy...” He pulls Tinkerbell out of his breast pocket. She flies around and kisses all of us on the cheek. We dive into the green sea. “At this point, it would be good time to have gills and tentacles... or fins!”
I grow gills, tentacles, and fins. We follow Tinkerbell into the depths. There is a strange silver disk at the bottom of the sea. It looks like it just crashed into the seafloor! Is it an alien ship? There is a hologram of a ghostly pirate ship on it. I see the hologram projector is not working too well as the hologram is flickering. We swim down to the hull, and it opens.
A strange purple alien is dying... This sounds like... wait, I already have a Green Lantern Ring...
The alien speaks, and I feel it’s voice reverberate in my chest. “I am dying,” the Babelfish translates. “... being pursued by ones who want my treasure... what they do not understand is... *cough* they already have it... and so do you... you have everything to give, and everything to receive...”
The alien puts her hands over her heart, and pure love energy pours into them in a tiny colored orb. She opens her hands to us, and she exhales her last strange watery breath. The orb expands growing until it engulfs us. My third eye spins, and my entire being is flooded with light. All my chakras spin. I grab on to the hands of two people next to me. The five of us, Raven, Jack, Selene, Keiko, and myself are in a circle, spinning. I feel the orb explode. We are five Love Gods in a World of Light.
Suddenly we are back in the sea. Our eyes are glowing gold. “The greatest treasure in the world: The Fifth Element,” Jack whispers.
We fly through the water up to the surface. We hover in the sky and turn the clouds into a storm. It rains violently, and disappears. A cool wind blows, and we add our breath to it, sending the ghosts to rest in peace.
I open a portal to the Green Moon.
“Where are you going, friend?” Jack asks.
“Home, brother, care to join us?”
He grins and swaggers to the portal, stepping through first. We go through, and end up on top of The Tower. Wait... The Black Tower... And there is a Green and White Tower on the edge of the Sea... Two Towers?
The old Biodome wall is overgrown with green, but the energy dome can still be vaguely seen. “All systems normal, Biodome is now complete. Hidden fortress in the forest, as you requested sir,” I hear Stephanie, the Biodome AI say. We overlook a lush paradise. Colorful birds float by, smiling at us. People are singing in a valley below.
“This!” Jack shouts, surveying the scene, “This is lovely!” We walk through New Eden. As we walk past the Mirror by the Koi Pond, there is a scene of the sun rising. “What’s this?” Jack asks, and steps through. We are on the Mountain now, in a field of wildflowers among a few great pines. The air is fresh and clean. We look out over the ocean, and the sky grows light as the sun rises over the sea on the Green Moon. In the presence of the overwhelming beauty, all we can do is watch in silence.
The sun rises, and warms our skin.
“I am going back to my Other Life, soon, friends.” I give everyone a hug goodbye. “We are all real, aren’t we, Jack?” I ask him.
‘Of course,” he says, lightly slapping my face. I growl. He growls back like a dog, and barks at me. I laugh and the dream fades to black.
@WakingNomad Thanks! I was surprised it worked that well. What was epic is finding the Jupiterians (aka Shitties) lol. I was amazed when I saw the citty.
@Hyu... funny... your Jupiter is very green and clean. One of my trips to the moon was like that. It was gray and dark, but when I actually landed it was green, very green. This was true for only one of my trips, on my other trips, it was dark as it is.
Well, Nomad did actually pull something neat... Hyu got a Yo-yo and I got a Bell!!! LOL! I guess I will summon that Bell as Nomad suggested with Hyu's Yo-Yo.
Winged!

It was the begining of the next school year. I was at lunch. When I went to put my retainer back in I reallized that it was someone elses, gross! I didn't get how it could get replaced in my pocket. I finaly found my real one and put it in.
The teacher after lunch had us go to the library to get our books for that class. We stood in line and I talked with my friends. When it was my turn to get my book I sudenly bcame lucid. I plugged my noes and I could breath. I looked to my left and saw a body of water that obviously is not normaly there and knew exactly what I wanted to do. I dived into the water and could still breath. I swam around and through some sea weeds and the body of water seemed bigger and bigger until I was in an ocean. I needed to find a shipwreck. I swam around the corner and saw a large, rather narrow wooden ship that had sunk upside down so that the bottom of the ship was stiking up and the sails and deck were bearied under the sand. The wood was very rotted out. I needed to find a way in. I put bairly and preasure on the top (I guess the bottom) of the ship and the whole thing broke off. Before me was a large black treasure chest. The area around the lock was rotted out enough that I could open it without a problem. It was filled to the top with gems, gold coins and jewlry. Sitting on top of the pile was a large, gold, gem encrusted crown. I thought it looked really cool and wanted to wear it but first I felt I should bring the chest and its contents safely to shore. I picked it up by the handles and ackwardly swam with the chest away from the ship. It wasn't heavy for my dream body at all, just big.
I heard a strange noise come from the ship and I turned around to see the spirit of the captain of the ship apeare and he wasn't happy with the fact that I was taking his treasure. I started swiming as fast as I could but he was coming towards me faster. I think he may have said something to me telepathicly aloung the lines of you will not get away with taking that. I also took from it somehow that it was a Chinese or Japanese pirate ship that had stolen and amased the treasure and then was sunk. He closed on me and grabbed me and I imediatly woke up (or so I thought)
I found myself still infront of the library. My teacher was asking me why I was still standing there and to let the next person get their book. I was amazed that that "vison" happened in such a short instant and while I was completly awake lol. I was very happy that I had completed the basic task but still wish I could have put on the crown. The next class was some sort of computer class and I found a way to play minecraft on the school computers without them knowing.
The dream continuied on non lucid although I did become wiser to the fact that I was still dreaming but before I truely became lucid again I woke up.
Curses! I was so close to completing the Advanced Task the night before last night. In the lucid dream I had at the time, I portal-traveled to outer space and eventually saw Jupiter right in front of me. But, before I could do anything else, I was suddenly teleported back to Earth, in front some stranger's house. I was trapped inside a floating dark sphere and could not move at all! Meanwhile, a trio of Dream Characters watched with blatant amusement. As I struggled to regain control of my dream body and my powers, I slowly but surely drifted into semi-lucidity and eventually into non-lucidity... Really, what is the deal with that?
Meh, I will get it next time.
...Anyhow, I did, however, manage to fulfill the Basic Task a few days earlier. I would have posted this sooner, but was a little busy over the last few days. The lucid portion is highlighted in blue.
Spoiler for Basic Task:
Dream Log Entry, Date 6.8.2011
The dream began with a false awakening, the details of which I vaguely remember.
After that, I spent a larger portion of the dream in what could be best described as an old, run-down, haunted toy factory. I, for unknown reasons, had taken on the appearance of Kyle Hyde from Hotel Dusk: Room 215. The owner of the factory, a short, slim, black-haired, pasty-faced man wearing a grey shirt with greenish-black overalls, toured me and a small number of other individuals throughout the factory for an unknown time period. We eventually arrived at a large junkyard of a facility filled with discarded toys, gimcracks, and machinery parts. At this point, all of the guests save for me and a long-haired elderly man carrying an infant had mysteriously disappeared.
In the dimly-lit room, a strange vacuum-shaped toy with a giant red sphere attached to it began to go on a rampage throughout facility. The owner attempted to stop the rampaging machine, but apparently was not successful. Fearing for my safety, I looked hastily about the dark room until I set my eyes upon a giant kitchen fork. I quickly seized the weapon, spun around to face the rampaging toy, and with all my strength thrusted the giant utensil into the red sphere atop it. The fork went into the sphere like it would have a giant rubber bouncing ball. I pulled the fork from the sphere, and as it deflated, the rampaging toy ceased to function.
At some point afterwards, we arrived in a small, dank room that was completely empty save for a single-sized bed that stood in a corner of the room. The walls were thick with mold, and on the dark-coloured bed sheets were countless streaks and smears of white paint. The factory owner laid down on the bed, curled himself in the stained sheets, and went to sleep. Meanwhile, the elderly man, still carrying the silent infant, exited the room only to fall to his death into a pit near the door in the adjacent room. I walked over to the pit and looked to see the man’s motionless body, his corpse lay face down. The infant, it seemed, was crushed between the man’s weight and the impact of the fall. Underneath the two corpses, I spotted a two foot-long plastic lobster toy. In that instant, the entire room began to fill with lava. As I was submerged by the rising pool of lava--at this point my perspective had shifted to third person--a giant, humanoid, lobster-like monster emerged from it. I eventually resurfaced to find that I had gained features similar to that of the larger monster standing before me; I now looked like a Kyle Hyde with pincers, antennae, and a bloated, spiny shell.
With blinding speed, I repeatedly leapt at the lobster monster, slicing off parts of its body with my pincers until it finally collapsed and died. Once this process was over, the lava drained from the room as fast as it had rose, and the dead lobster monster shrunk and morphed back into the plastic lobster toy I saw earlier. The elderly man and his child were nowhere to be seen. I lost my lobster-like features, and my perspective shifted back into first person.
The factory owner came out of his dingy bedroom. We had a brief exchange of words, the details of which I cannot remember clearly.
At some point soon after, we were back in the large room in which vacuum toy incident occurred. The room was abruptly lit by an opening door, and a large group of men wearing lit mining helmets and wielding pistols stormed into the facility, and immediately opened fire upon seeing us. The factory owner locked himself behind a large mechanical door on a far side in the room, leaving me to fend for myself against the unknown gunners. One gunner shot me in the stomach. I felt the bullet zip through me, though there was no pain.
Somehow, I managed to escape the building through a garage-like door. My memory of what happened afterwards is somewhat scrambled and hazy.
Later on in the dream, I spontaneously became lucid in an area greatly resembling a town square in London. I was surprised by the amount of people walking about, for my lucid dreams are often devoid of living creatures. Immediately remembering the Dream Views monthly task, I scanned the scenery for any open water, but could not spot any. Not wanting to search the area any further, I decided to resort to portal travel. I attempted to conjure a piece of my Dream Chalk, but failed to do so. I then looked at the ground for some Dream Chalk and eventually found a pebble-sized piece of it. As I picked it up, however, it crumbled in my hand, turning into a sandy substance. I began to rub the sandy substance in between my fingers, and as I did so began to feel more and more of the substance appear until I had a handful of it. I rolled the substance into a cylindrical shape, eventually creating a hardened piece of Dream Chalk. I then turned my eyes to the sky and in midair drew a rough, awkward circle. I extended both my hands, palms open, towards the floating circle and within it began to form an image of the ocean. Soon enough, the circle was a floating, animated portrait of storm clouds and waves. Floating above the surface of the ocean water was a strange, teardrop-shaped ice berg. With the image of mine desired destination formed, I projected my Wings of the Heart and flew into the portal. I descended through a patch of storm clouds and landed into the water, right next to the teardrop-shaped ice berg I had seen earlier.
For a moment, I hesitated to dive underwater, afraid of the possible horrors awaiting me below. Knowing my time was probably short, however, I tried to think positive thoughts and dunked my head into the water. As I dove deeper into the ocean, the instrumental of “Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid began to sound in my head. Soon enough, Ariel and many other familiar figures from the old film appeared out of nowhere and swam past me. This process went on for several minutes. Eventually, the music stopped, and the cartoon figures ceased to appear, leaving me alone in the dark ocean depths.
I projected my Wings of the Heart in attempt to hasten my dive. They increased my speed somewhat, but not significantly.
I eventually reached a sandy floor, nearly face-planting into it. Surrounding the small clearing were towering, jagged rocks and the scattered ruins of an old ship. I immediately noticed wooden a treasure chest and, with my Wings of the Heart still out, awkwardly swam toward it. I emptied the chest on the ocean floor and found nothing but shellfish. One of them clamped onto my left index finger as it fell from the chest. I wiggled my hand until the shellfish fell off, and then proceeded to investigate the interior of a dismembered ship cabin. In the cabin was a small royal bed surrounded by transparent curtains. On the bed was a black purse and a small white box. I opened the purse to find a gold necklace decorated with gems. I threw the necklace around my neck and moved on to the white box. In the box was a large array of video game discs and cartridges, some of which I recognized as popular titles. I immediately began to stuff my pockets with them (“Too bad I will not still have all of this when I wake up,” I thought to myself jestingly). As I gathered the items, I abruptly woke up.
I go through a doorway and into this all concrete room with writing all over the walls. I look at the writing and everything is in what I believe to be French. "Ahh, that makes sense," I say to myself. "After all, we ARE in France."
Then I think about this and realize that this must be in a dream as I haven't actually gone to France yet or heard back from the booking guys there.
I look at the writing on the wall, look away, and look back. The words are still gibberish to me, but it is different. I am definitely dreaming and everything seems pretty solid. I walk the rest of the way out of the tunnel.
I come out and I'm on top of a hill looking out over a little valley type park that reminds me of the greenbelt area near the old library in Maryville. There are people on the grass, the sky is clear and bright, and it is a very happy, beautiful scene.
I recall the tasks of the month and set out to dive into some water. I float up off the ledge overlooking the field below and see my girlfriend Jessi walking down the path. I wave to her as I float up, thinking about how cool I must look, then I fly up into the air and dive back down towards the field, only expecting to find water there, which I do.
I dive down into this green murky water (after all it had been a field only seconds before, so of course it's green?) and keep swimming down deeper. I know I don't have to worry about breathing and I try to imagine finding a pirate ship at the bottom of the water. I keep trying to go deeper and deeper but I cannot see cause the water is so dark. I make a ball of light in my hand, but all it does is make the green brighter.
As I dive, I hear this creepy evil child's voice coming from my left and up. It is trying to scare me or do something to my mind. I quickly emerge from the water to take care of it and there is a child by the water, maybe 5-7. I'm not quite sure if it's a boy or a girl, but I know it is the source of the evil voice. I slap my open palm over it's head, in a classic exorcist style move, and the kid fall's quiet. To my left, on the concrete bank is a tiny chest, about 8 inches across. But standing over it is the kid's Dad, who does not seem pleased I just Benny Hinn'ed his Kid on the head.
I turn to swim back towards the bottom and I see the moon up in the sky. I have the idea to translocate to the moon and from there try to get to Jupiter, but I don't have any faith it's going to work. I look up at the moon, close my eyes, and imagine myself beaming there, but when I open them I am still in the water and my dream fades away.
...
Im in a huge house, I live here.
I see my parents and sister, I talk with them a little, cant remember exact conversations.
The house looks really nice, there are huge glass windows everywhere,
The rooms are really big too,
I see a balcony.
I walk towards it,
Its pretty sunny now.
"Now what am I gonna do?"
Then, im not sure how, but it comes to mind,
"How crazy would it be if I pulled of the Task of the Month in only my SECOND Lucid??"
I decide to try it,
I hop off the balcony, and right in front of me is a harbor/port, and its suddenly cloudy
There are two big cargo ships in the port, I think about a shipwreck,
one of the ships just sinks. Perfect!
I jump right into the water, the harbor turns into a huge swimming pool.. Weird.
There are a bunch of people swimming everywhere,
but there are still cargo ships and boats in the water,
must be a big pool.
I swim to the side of the ship,
Annd I DIVE.. Wait what?
I cant dive.. Wtf.
I try again.
Its like the water wont let me go under..
I start asking people.
I ask another swimmer
"How do I dive????"
He looks at me and says
"..Just dive"
I CANT. I ask about 2 other people, and they tell me the same thing.
Im getting annoyed.
I see two guys in a small boat, I ask them the same thing.
I think they gave me endless "Wait"s, but they never answer,
And then they just drive their boat away,
I yell "CMON YOUR MY SUBCONSCIOUS!!"
Whatever. Stupid DC-__-
I still cant dive, so I give up and decide to just explore the pool.
...
Finally completed the Advanced Task. Although, things in the dream did not quite go like I wanted or expected.
Spoiler for Advanced Task:
Dream Log Entry, Date 6.18.2011
My lucidity in this morning’s second latest dream was triggered by one of my primary dream signs, my Wings of the Heart. I was using them to fly over a small city in my search for a pair of characters whom had gone missing during the non-lucid portion of this dream (my memories of the non-lucid portion are currently too scrambled for me to write down).
It was about dusk--yet despite this, some of the buildings in the desert-like city were illuminated as if the sun were out.
Remembering the Dream Views monthly task, I descended and landed on the roof of a nearby building. I conjured a piece of my Dream Chalk between my thumb and my index finger, and in the air drew a large circle. I extended both hands, palms open, towards the circle and began to form an image of outer space. The dusky, starry sky in mine current location made this slightly difficult, but soon enough I had formed within the circle a portrait of space. On its own accord, my formed portal flipped through the air like a coin and then stretched across my vision until I was engulfed in its picture. My portal transportation did not quite go as I intended, but I nevertheless successfully traveled to outer space.
As I looked for planet Jupiter, the dream slightly destabilized, causing random images and objects to fly across my vision. This might be an after-effect of my portal travel, I thought to myself. Despite their efficiency, I have recently noticed that using my Dream Chalk Portals to travel to different places, particularly vacant places like outer space, sometimes causes mine surroundings to behave unpredictably. While I struggled to stabilize mine surroundings, planet Jupiter suddenly appeared among the random images before me, its red spot right in front of me. I quickly made my way towards the Great Red Spot. As I entered it, something happened that I did not expect at all. Instead of finding myself in a chaotic maelstrom like I anticipated, I instead found myself submerged in an endless pool of thick, crystal-clear liquid, looking down at a gargantuous drawn map of islands and oceans. Every move I made sent two-dimensional ripples throughout the strange liquid. Despite my efforts, I could not hear or smell anything. As I sunk deeper into the liquid, I fell back into non-lucidity and woke up.
Theres some non-lucid before this but I cant remeber.
Im in a car driving/flying underwater. The water level in the car is at my ankles rising fast. There are no seats and I can stand (Im 6'1). There is a fat redheaded woman in the back. I perform a "Life drain" which has now become routine in my dreams. The life drain works, the dream clarifys at the cost of her life.
The water level is almost at my waist and im ready to leave the car.
Without warning the water level rushes to above my head. I scream at the top of my lungs and throw my arms behind me (Like cole does ionic drain on Infamous2)
The water sinks to below the car revealing a valley striped with rivers and lakes. I teleport to the top of the car ready to jump. The car is flying upwards of 700 Mph.
I see a huge lake and jump.
I miss. I crash into the sandy shore of the lake, a level select screen comes up .
They are different race courses, I pick a random one.
A DC explains to stay on the track or you will be disqualified. I jump the side barrier and dive into the water, immediately I see a chest. I swim down to the chest, opening the chest a message comes into my view that says: you have obtained 17 gold coins
(Damn you RPG)
I open the chest next to it, it rewards me with a red alien
I close my eyes and inhale deeply exiting me from my dream.
