I was tracking down a killer… or was he tracking me down? Either way one of our trails led to a hotel. The room was dim with only 2 lamps to illuminate the grey space. On a desk there sat an electronic photo frame. It cycled through photos of individuals and families whose identities were unknown to me. Were these the killer’s victims?
Suddenly I became aware of my dream but stayed asleep. I decided to try a minor act of control. I looked at a desk drawer and said to myself, “When I open this drawer, there will be a pink pen inside.” But I opened it and saw not a pink pen but a pink Ethernet cable. It was about the length of a pen, however, as it had been cleanly cut. I got the color and size right but not the shape
Before I had gone to bed I had no intention of having a lucid dream. This episode was totally spontaneous, but I can attempt a “revisit”. When I want to lucid dream, I can visualize a grey, dimly lit hotel room and a pink pen by a photo frame
