WAKE UP, WAKE UP!
The other night I was having a serious anxiety dream (in which I was trapped in an elevator, with my mother, two of my worst anxiety triggers), and a strange thing happened. I was at a bad point in the dream, as I had just realized that I was stuck in a very small elevator and that I had no way to get out (and did I mention that I was with my mother?). As the panic rose, I suddenly thought, “Wake up.” And I did. This has never happened to me before. I am pretty excited, because I’m hoping that I’ve learned some form of mind control, so now whenever I have an unpleasant dream, I can just snap right out of it. Lord Kissington informs me that this is called “lucid dreaming” and it’s quite common. I think he just doesn’t want to recognize my awesome mind control powers.

I feel... compelled... to comment... for some strange reason.
You wouldn't know anything about that.
...or would you?

I've had lucid dreaming, too. It's nice. If only it worked in real life, like when you're getting a speeding ticket or on a bad date or something. I've tried saying, "Wake up!" but people seem to just get mad and take it personally.
It was especially problematic with the policeman writing the ticket...
