 I’m working late in a computer room on the tenth floor of a tower block. There is a power cut my computer screen goes blank. I’m under the desk and begin fiddling with the cables when I hear a noise in the corridor outside. I open the office door to see that some patio doors have been left opened, I wonder to myself why anyone would put patio doors on the tenth floor. I see a light switch and automatically think of doing the test that tells me if I’m dreaming or not. I flick the switch; some lights go on in a neighbouring tower block, I now know that this is a dream; I am Lucid. I decide that I don’t like this place; it’s a bit too spooky, I decide to change it into a Spanish Poolside Villa. I don’t succeed instead a white-suited man with white hair materializes directly in front of me. He says, “I am the Angel of Death, it’s time to die. I know that you know this is only a dream, but if you die here you die in real life.” I am overcome with feelings of remorse and regret, I plead; “Please give me some time so that I can think about my kids.” I sit down; put my head in my hands and begin to cry softly, the tears drip at regular one-second intervals onto the wooden floor making a sound like an old grandfather clock. Through my open fingers I see the man casually pick up a house brick, with an easy swing he smashes it into the side of my face, crushing my cheekbone and dislocating my jaw. I think; “I didn’t expect to be executed like this.” I feel my consciousness being dragged away as though by general anaesthetic. Just as I’m going under I get an anger adrenaline rush, I grab the brick and rain hammer blows down on the Death Angel’s Head, as his skull shatters, the support for his face collapses. His face wrinkles and turns into that of an old woman. I stop; the head falls off and rolls neatly into the corner of the room. It’s now the face of the Ventriloquist’s Dummy from the Renault Scenic Advert; its eyes are shut. I think, “If this were a horror film, the eyes would snap open then head would savage me.” Instead, it raises one of its eyebrows and winks.
