  Wolf and Raina take Greg to the back room and you're left alone with Julia.
  
  You breathe and you discuss your dreams. You're kind of excited about the fact that you finally had a completely lucid dream last night and you happily tell Julia about it.
  
  "I'm so glad for you," she says with a smile.
  
  She stopped having nightmares and most of her dreams are either partially or totally lucid, which sounds amazing. And it all seems to come from the breathing exercises and meditations.
  
  You thought it was all a scam and you now feel a bit more open minded about everything. Maybe you'll even read your horoscope one of these days.
  
  You laugh internally and you keep talking with Julia.
  
  She then asks you to touch her back and you agree. You do it for a few minutes before changing places.
  
  You know that you both look kind of ridiculous, but that's the fun part.
  
  The class is over and Greg still hasn't come out of the back room. You wonder if you should go see him, but you don't want to interrupt anything.
  
  You and Julia decide to wait for him and, after a few minutes, he comes out looking a bit exhausted. You're now more curious about the magic of that back room.
  
  Wolf and Raina both look satisfied with whatever went on in there and they wave at you.
  
  In the car, Greg suggests that you all hit a bar or something.
  
  Sure, why not.
  
  Greg, Julia and you go to your favorite bar and order some drinks. Greg looks fully recovered from before and he doesn't want to tell you about the back room.
  
  "Pleeeeease," asks Julia, who is already a bit drunk.
  
  "No," answers Greg, also a bit dizzy, "besides, you'll find out next week."
  
  "But I wanna knoooow."
  
  Suddenly you realize that the week after the next one you'll be the one going in the back room and you wonder if you're going to be completely alone for the next few classes.
  
  There's no newcomers and Julia's gonna be in the backroom with Wolf and Raina on week eight.
  
  You decide to enjoy yourself right now.
  
  After a few more rounds, Greg suddenly starts laughing and Julia asks him why.
  
  "We don't have a designated driver!" he chuckles.
  
  And you start laughing with Julia and Greg.
  
  Y'all gonna have to split a cab or something.
  
  Both Greg and Julia are super drunk and you think that you're a bit more sober, so you offer to call the cab service.
  
  The taxi arrives and all three of you hop in. Greg is the one who lives furthest away, so you give his direction and you tell the driver to make a few stops in yours and Julia's place.
  
  When you get to your place, Julia pulls your sleeve.
  
  "Wait, I think Greg might be a bit too drunk? Maybe you should stay and take us home safely," she says with a drunken smirk.
  
  "Please take me home!" says drunk Greg, laughing. Then he winks at you.
  
  > Fine. Stay in the cab and take this heckers home
  You tell the driver to keep doing what he does best: driving.
  
  And so the driver drives the taxicab and you get to Julia's place first.
  
  "Thank you, mister driver man," she says, then she looks at you, "Are you going to come with me or would you rather stay with Greg?".
  
  What should you do?
  
  > go with her
  You pay the driver your share and you wish Greg the best of luck.
  
  You walk Julia to her place and she suddenly kisses you. You kiss her back because why the heck not?
  
  She opens the door and you both go inside. Her roommate seems to be asleep and Julia starts to take your clothes off before attending to herself.
  
  The next morning you don't have to face any hangover, but you see Julia with a grimace and you go to the kitchen to fetch her a glass of water.
  
  Her roommate is there and she looks at you with an amused face.
  
  She knows what you did.
  
  You give Julia the water and you tell her that you need to go to work.
  
  "You can use my shower if you want," she says hoarsely.
  
  > use the shower
  You go into the bathroom and get naked before stepping in.
  
  The door slowly opens and her roommate walks in, but you've already pulled the curtain to cover yourself.
  
  You ask her what she's doing and she laughs.
  
  "Relax, I'm just brushing my teeth," she says, "unless you want to do something else."
  
  Wow.
  
  Just...
  
  Wow.
  
  What is it with people?
  
  > take her offer
  Sure. You've always been a morning person.
  
  She walks into the shower with you and you don't really know how to feel. Julia is in the next room but she's probably gonna sleep because of her hangover.
  
  If this is some sort of weird luck, you're not complaining.
  
  You step out of the shower feeling dirtier than you did before going in, but you know you're clean enough.
  
  The roommate gives you a goodbye kiss and tells you to stop by anytime.
  
  Will they talk about it?
  
  Who knows.
  
  You find yourself thinking about Greg. You wonder how he's doing. You never really got anyone's number.
  
  > Julia's final class or week eight
  Julia shows up late and she refuses to talk to you.
  
  You never called her and she never called you. You didn't exchange numbers but you knew each other's addresses, so it was both of your faults.
  
  All of your dreams are lucid now and you feel better than ever. You don't even have to try anymore and the purple sky is long gone.
  
  Wolf and Raina take Julia to the back room and you find yourself alone.
  
  But you're okay with it.
  
  It's not long before Julia storms out of the back room. She angrily looks at you and then she goes away.
  
  You don't really know if you want to come back next week, but the curiosity is killing you.
  
  Wolf and Raina join you for the rest of the class and no one talks about Julia's reaction.
  
  Your final class is next week.
  
  > Your final class or week nine
  Wolf and Raina welcome you and ask you to join them in the back room.
  
  And you follow them to your destiny.
  
  There's three beds, a lot of candles and colorful decorations.
  
  "Please, choose any bed," says Wolf.
  
  You take the bed you like the most and you lay on your back.
  
  "We're going to fall asleep at the count of three," says Raina, "We'll share a dream and you'll finally achieve ascension just like us."
  
  That sounds like crazy talk. You're not sure if you'll be able to fall asleep just like that, but you play along.
  
  One.
  
  Two.
  
  Three.
  
  You open your eyes and you see a purple sky.
  
  No... Not again.
  
  "Relax," says Wolf, standing next to you, "Today's the day you unlock the true power of dreaming."
  
  Raina comes to you and touches your back. You instantly feel a surge of electricity running through your whole body.
  
  "Ivan and Julia were not ready for this knowledge," explains Wolf, "I hope you are."
  
  You see the sky turn blue and you feel relief.
  
  You don't know if this is all real, but it feels very intense.
  
  You look around and see nothing but blue sky. It's almost as if the three of you were floating, but you're actually standing on thin air. It's amazing!
  
  "Wolf and I achieved illumination through years of meditation, but we may share our position with you" says Raina.
  
  This whole thing sounds ridiculous, but you have been lucid dreaming thanks to them...
  
  You ask them what you have to do to be like them and they share a smile.
  
  "Choose one of us" they say at the same time.
  
  You know what they want you to do. You somehow share their thoughts.
  
  You wonder if they can read your mind and you try to protect your ideas by concentrating.
  
  They are still smiling and you don't know if they know what you're thinking or not.
  
  They encourage you to choose but they do not speak. You don't know how they are doing it and you're not sure you're comfortable with the idea.
  
  Maybe this is why Ivan and Julia left.
  
  You feel like time is running out.
  
  > choose Wolf
  You choose Wolf and he instantly knows it.
  
  His smile turns into a wide grin and he lunges at you.
  
  You wake up covered in a thin layer of sweat and with an agitated breathing.
  
  Raina and Wolf are staring at you and that's kind of creepy.
  
  "Congratulations," says Wolf, "And thank you."
  
  You don't really feel very different when you leave, but now you're glad you don't have to go back there.
  
  It takes you a while to find out that now, whenever you dream, you can always be awake in some sort of dream dimension. Like an astral projection.
  
  Actually, exactly like an astral projection.
  
  You can fall asleep at will and you can control your spirit to do things. You can even enter other people's dreams.
  
  If this is what the gurus meant by an illuminated ascended being, it's pretty cool.
