Another Semi-Lucid Dream

Early this morning I was lying in bed in a sort of half-asleep, half-awake fog.  I was aware that was lying in bed, and at the same time I was "dreaming" that I was clutching this pendant to my chest.

It was tiny, smaller than a locket, and made of silver, or at least some silvery alloy, and I had it pressed to my chest with the index and middle fingers of my right hand.  Then I conceived an urge to turn over on my left side, but I also didn't want to, because I was aware that the pendant was a dream object that would vanish at the sudden movement.  I tried to resist the urge to move, but finally I couldn't hold out any longer and turned over, and sure enough, the trinket vanished.  I lay back again and tried to make it reappear, but alas, it would not come back.

Then I was in low Earth orbit, which afforded me a grand view of the Korean peninsula and Jeju Island below, sort of like this,


except the sea was whitish, as if it were frozen, or made of solidified mist.  I started to worry about falling back and possibly burning up in the atmosphere, but I thought maybe I wasn't far enough out for that to be a major concern.
