  > Look around
  You're in someone's bedroom. You've forgotten whose, however. A dim green glow illuminates the place but you cannot tell from where exactly. No matter where you look, the glow seems to be coming from somewhere near the corner of your eye. Movie posters plaster the wall and an aquarium is against one of the walls. A small television set is against another wall, and an exit is to the north. The bed, a twin-sized, glorified army cot, sits against the east wall
  
  On the television, security camera footage shows you, of all people, in a post office sending out a care package. Funny, you don't remember ever living that scene in real life.
  
  > close the door
  Which do you mean, the bathroom door or the bedroom door?
  
  > close the bedroom door
  You close the bedroom door.
  
  > close the bathroom door
  You close the bathroom door.
  
  > examine the fire
  Which do you mean, the fireplace or the dwindling fire?
  
  > examine the dwindling fire
  It has been reduced to glowing red embers.
  
  > check what you're carrying
  You are carrying:
  a crumpled napkin
  a spiked dog collar (being worn)
  a worn backpack (open but empty)
  a floppy disk
  a box cutter
  a damp washcloth
  a sentient brain
  a pair of black Skechers (being worn)
  a pair of jeans (being worn)
  a black shirt (being worn)
  a hospital gown (being worn)
  
  > examine the window
  It juts out a little bit from the house and is divided into dozens of small squares. You can also look through windows.
  
  > look through the window
  Outside, it is an overcast day which you can only tell by the lack of shadows. You cannot see the sky as this house seems to sit amongst many pine trees. Dead pine needles litter the ground outside.
  
  > Go north
  (first getting off the Eames reclining chair)
  You can't go that way.
  
  > Dream roof
  You are already dreaming that you are standing before the strange house in the woods.
  
  > Go south
  Trees (near the doghouse)
  A little further south from the house's screened porch, you find a strange tree. Halfway buried in its base is an ancient doghouse, the tree having grown through most of it. Most of its dark opening is still gaping enough to peer into. Otherwise, this part of the forest is identical to the rest; large pine trees with needles littering the ground.
  
  > examine the tree
  Which do you mean, the pine trees or the strange tree?
  
  > look at strange tree
  This tree grew through an old doghouse and up towards the sky. Who knows how long it took to grow?
  
  > examine the waterfall
  Cascading from a rocky crag about ten feet in height, this small waterfall empties into a rippling pond. From the pond, the stream continues to the southeast.
  
  > Go northwest
  The rocky crag is too slippery and jagged to climb.
  
  > Dream rocky crag
  You are already dreaming of the rocky crag.
  
  > wear the collar
  You're already wearing that!
  
  > go to the northeast
  Trees (near the overlook cliff)
  You stand on the edge of a vertical cliff looking down over more forest and eventually, in the near distance, a small town. A rocky path leads down to the southeast, winding down the cliff and its various outcroppings. Another path leads back into the woods to the southwest. The cliff cuts the land here from the northwest to the southeast. The sky, unobstructed by foliage here, is still a bleak gray.
  
  > Go southeast
  You dread heading to the southeast, down the rocky path. Something stops you. Something tells you that dark entities guard it. In your mind, you see large, black rabbits. Strange, yes, but terrifying for some reason. They are in your mind only for now, but something also tells you that you will lose your lucidity and wake up screaming should you head that direction.
  
  > Dream collar
  There's something about the dog collar you have, something you can do, you feel. Perhaps if you were in the right location.
  
  > Dream doghouse
  (the dark opening)
  You close your eyes and imagine the ancient doghouse near the strange tree. When you open them again, you are somewhere else.

  > Dream collar
  You close your eyes and the collar slips from your person. But you don't hear it hit the ground. You open your eyes to instead find a large, black mastiff beside you. He is calm, guarding you, and wearing the spiked dog collar.
  
  > examine the dog
  (the black mastiff)
  The black mastiff is a shadowy animal; a monster of a dog with muscular shoulders and a wide jaw. It wears the spiked dog collar.

  a floppy disk
  a box cutter

  > Dream napkin
  You are already dreaming that you have the crumpled napkin.
  
  > Dream disk
  This will probably be important at some point.
  
  > talk to dog
  (the black mastiff)
  The black mastiff has nothing to say.
  
  > Dream cliff
  You close your eyes and imagine overlooking the cliff. When you open your eyes, you are somewhere else.
