Dream of the Week: Infinite Fireplace


I'm inside a small house that seems to belong but seems foreign. I have just arrived there after being gone for quite a while I notice how dirty the place looks. There is strange debris on the floor, including trash and several piles of dog poo. I go to the kitchen looking and grab paper towels to pick up the mess. 

I'm really confused as to how it got this messy and why it was never cleaned it up. I clean up the dog poo, which then becomes a raw slab of meat. This strange change clues me in, "This is a dream!" I think to myself. I drop the paper towel with the meat and look at my hands to perform a reality test. My palm is waving in strange ways, and my fingers have become gangly wavy noodles. Yes! I am in.⚡️

Now lucid, I think that I'd like to do simple tasks only so that I can practice the basics. Still looking at my hand, I pull my fingers to see what will happen. With ease and fluidity, my finger stretches further, unraveling like a piece of thread. I am delighted! I continue to pull up my fingers until all of them are stretched out like Silly Putty. 

I wonder what other simple things I can do with this time and look around the room. I see a small metal fireplace or furnace and decide to through it as though it were a door to another place. I crawl inside, and it gets longer and longer like a tunnel growing out infinitely. I continue crawling through the tunnel, but somehow understand that everything from my waist down is still kneeling in the same room. I realize that this stretch through the fireplace will continue infinitely, so I simply turn back, and I'm back in the room again. The dream fades.

ProTip: When looking at your hand as a state check, be aware! Sometimes a hand looks just like a hand. For me, noodle fingers are the sign.
