Chapter 1 : Lucid Dream

Timmy was dreaming. And for once, it was absolutely fantastic ! Often, when we dream, we have no control, even though everything seems perfectly logical in the moment. Dreams are also frequently inspired by real-life events and actual people.

Amidst the inherent absurdity of dreams, there exists the " lucid dream ", a rare experience for most. Once you’re in one, anything becomes possible with just a single thought. Some even define a lucid dream as the precise moment you realize you are dreaming.

You can do anything ! Fly through the air, hurl fireballs at a giant, Godzilla-like monster, it was an absolute blast, a way to bring all those wild, everyday fantasies to life. You could even indulge in your own personal pleasures. Timmy was having a lucid dream... he wasn’t fully conscious of the fact that he was dreaming, but sometimes, you don’t even need that.

A sheer, powerful force of will is enough. He found himself facing a major villain from one of his favorite animes. The battle was raging, it was incredible. Magic and missiles were raining down from every direction; all he had to do was speak a word, and whatever he commanded would appear.

" Time Stop ! "

Everything around him froze, and he moved in to strike the villain !

BBBOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM !!

A massive explosion thundered. He struck a triumphant pose, grinning like a high-flying, billionaire tycoon. Suddenly, he felt a hand rest on his left shoulder. A stunning Latina beauty was standing there, her neckline revealingly displayed for him.

" You were fantastic... . "

" I know... . "

On the other side, another beauty appeared, this one with a cold, proud demeanor and gorgeous blonde hair. Her outfit was just as suggestive. They were all seated together on a sofa. Don’t try to figure out how... it was a dream.

He was reveling in the sensation of two bosoms pressed against him. A lucid dream, it felt so good... . As if by magic, the sofa transformed into a bed. The two beauties were on either side of him, wearing such meaningful smiles.

Timmy tried to roll over to shift his position, but... .

" AH ! "

THUD !

He landed on a rug, the one on his bedroom floor.

He had woken up by falling out of bed... .

At that very moment, as if by some strange synchronization, the dream world and reality seemed to merge. A brilliant, intense light flooded the 18-year-old’s mind, then vanished.

DING !

Timmy sat back up, his face a mask of confusion, unsure of what had just happened... .
