Pulsing light

Okay, here is what I remember from last night... The first one I remember was at my house. In my room, in front of my TV, there was a box full of VHS tapes and DVDs. These were in the "library", so they would come and go as people "checked out" and "returned" them (people did not actually come into my room; they would go to the library, where checking out a video would cause it to disappear from my room, while returning one would cause it to reappear). One of the videos was The Minish Cap (a movie based off of the Zelda game, I am guessing); I decided I would come back for it later so I could watch it with my friend <PERSON>. It was on a VHS tape, by the way. When I came back later (I cannot remember any parts of the dream in between), it had been checked out already. However, it was available on DVD, but I did not want that one because I wanted to watch it in my room (which does not really make sense, since I have a DVD player AND a VCR in my room, so either would work). After waking up from that, I decided to attempt <PERSON> again. I was barely awake when I woke up, which I figured was good for <PERSON>. I decided I wanted to enter a Zelda-related dream, so I pictured the first Zelda-related thing I could think of: the Spirit Train. I probably could have come up with something better, like a specific location, but keep in mind that my mind was far from fully awake at the time. Anyway, I quickly slipped into a dream, but, instead of a lucid dream, I entered a false lucid dream instead (i.e., I had control but did not know I was dreaming). When I woke up from it, it actually took me a moment to actually figure out if that had been a dream or if I would just imagined it while still partially awake (like in hypnagogia), but I concluded that it was definitely a dream because, although the actual memory of it was really fuzzy (making it harder to tell), I could definitely remember being able to see everything (as opposed to just knowing it is there without actually seeing it, like in daydreaming or visualization). Anyway, shortly after entering the dream, the Spirit Train disappeared. I quickly concluded that it had disappeared because there were no tracks, so I made the Spirit Tracks appear and summoned the Spirit Train again. I did this by just wanting it to appear, which caused it to appear right before my eyes (I am assuming this worked because I knew it was supposed to be there and had been there just moments before). The rest of the dream consisted of me making the Spirit Train reappear a few more times (since it kept disappearing) before waking up. I had another dream last night, in which a bunch of girls were using my laptop to look at pictures of <PERSON>, <PERSON> for some reason. I went outside to the backyard (my backyard). I could the local elementary school next door, which, for some reason, seemed perfectly normal. Anyway, there were these guys outside, and they used some weird handheld device to fire an electromagnetic pulse into the air, which caused a pulsating ball of light to appear in the sky. I had one final dream, in which I was watching Doctor Who. The episode started with a dream that <PERSON> was having. It was rather surreal and... not like a dream. It would show an image of her against a white background, then switch to a quick scene from her dream (the background never changed, though), then back to the first image, then onto another dream, and so on. One of the scenes was the Doctor kissing her... Anyway, shortly after she woke up, I woke up.
