Paralysis

"Listen to me, because this is very important: you will not be able to dream again tonight. If you follow my instruction, there is a chance you will, but you have to do everything perfectly." He then went on with his instruction, but being unable to move, I gradually lost lucidity and eventuallywoke up. Weird, weird experience. Especially because...he was right! After that, I could not enter SP for long enough to dream. Whether I went into it intentionally or unintentionally, the SP would simply break after a few moments, and I could never hold on to any of the dreams that began to form . I could not even remember what the guy had told me to do in order to successfully dream. When it reached 6:00 or so, I managed to dream, but it was another dumb one, and not lucid. I applied for a job at a cookie dough factory. I did not get the job, but all of my would-be co-workers really wanted me to get it. This one odd girl especially would not give up on me. She said it was just because I did not know baking well enough, and that if I created an original recipe to sell to the company, they would hire me in no time. With her minor assistance, then, I did just that (yep, right in the factory...no one told the manager I was there). It was late in the day by that point, so she told me that she would keep the first batch of the new recipe in a safe place so I could show it to the manager the next day. That sounded fine to me, but when the next day came, I arrived at the factory to find everyone cheering on this odd girl for her new recipe...which was actually mine! "Oh, you got to be kidding me!" I said to myself as I turned and left. I do not think I will ever understand how some of my dreams can be super-awesome and some can be super-stupid...like that one...
