I was in some kind of bookstore and was looking at some manga. The manga I was looking at was kind of... erotic, for some reason, but I was really enjoying it. I put it next to some other manga and begin browsing and looking at different stuff when I realise I cannot find the other one anymore and was desperate because I really wanted that one. I asked some guys next to me for help until I eventually became lucid. What did I do then, you ask? Well... I kept looking for the darn thing. I tried using voice commands (something like "The book I want is going to float towards me" stuff like that) but nothing worked. I asked the guys what their favorite ones were, in hopes I find something better than the other one. They started talking about manga they liked and gave them to me, but they were not what I was looking for at all. Eventually I realized I was wasting time and decided to focus. I realize I was in some kind of shopping mall. For some reason, I could not fly. I remembered reading something about stabilizing and how it makes dream control better, so I stabilized the dream by doing RCs and told myself I was sleeping and creating this dream and could do anything. It did not do much, as I could not fire laserbeams from my fingertips (which was something I wanted to do... I guess) nor could I fly for some reason. I decided that did not matter as I did not need to fly for my goal, which was finding a mirror, asking my dream to take me somewhere interesting and enter it. Whenever I want to enter a mirror, there is always one nearby. I looked around and there was a huge one in a nearby section of the mall that looked like a shoe store. I got close to the mirror, rubbed my hands, and was already phasing my hands through it when I remembered I had to say the command. "Dream, take me somewhere interesting, please." With that, I fully entered the mirror and found myself in some kind of rooftop in a urban area. To my left there was a huge window to big, empty factory/storage of some kind. Looking around, I could see the rooftops of different houses and I think some buildings in the distance. I could not see the streets from where I was. This place was not what I was expecting at all, so I turned around and asked my dream, again, to take me somewhere interesting, but I specified that I did not want just some generic city area. I floated up to a window with a dark tint (apparently, that is where I came from) and noticed I could kind of see through it. In this area there was also some kind of loud, constant noise in the background, like a really loud air conditioner. I phased through the window and ended up in a similar area. It was like I was in a room of an destroyed, abandoned or unfinished building. No roof or walls, save for the one the window was in. I did not really look around the area since I was kind of annoyed and wanted to try entering a mirror one more time. However, the dream started fading and I was trying to think how I could bring it back. I think I tried to stabilize somehow but woke up and tried to stay still for <PERSON>, but I was sleeping for so long already (almost 10 hours) that I was too awake and did not feel like staying there trying to deild, so I jut got up.
