A dark figure

Night of May 25, 2017. Thursday. I enter into a state of (visual) hypnagogia and eventually decide to go into a "Snuffy Smith" comic strip when the opportunity presents itself. I wait for the sketchy rendering of the drawing of a river and a forest rather than a "real" setting to "step into". I think it is a marvelous idea to visit <PERSON>' Holler - as I want to spend some time with the amusing and friendly "people" there even though they are not real. (I did not yet script out a foundation for this concept. Note that I never post scripted dreams or those of certain levels of lucidity, as there would be no point.) My dream is not consciously fully thought out. I find myself in <PERSON>'s shack (seemingly in late morning) and get the idea that if he or <PERSON> sees me, they will probably just take me to be an imposer or even a thief. I walk around in the dark featureless room and see gaps in the wooden floorboards as well as thin vertical gaps in the wall where thin slivers of light shine through. I also remember that nails stick out from random areas (including on his porch) and I do not want to poke myself (especially as my dreams often have an extremely enhanced sense of touch). <PERSON> appears in the doorway in silhouette (initiating the very common threshold dream type scenario). I remember that his house is near a cliff and decide to jump out of my dream. I walk out to the back without being seen. The valley below seems rendered as "real" trees. Perhaps <PERSON> has a rifle and wants to shoot me for trespassing (though this is not based on evidence within my dream). I consciously jump with only a soft hypnopompic jerk.
