My experiences

I walked barely for 30 meters after picking the money when I saw the man turned back. He walked up to me and asked if I saw any money as I was coming. He had searched his pocket without finding it. At this point, my integrity was put to test. I remember my father's statement immediately. I decided to tell him the truth and handed him the money.
"You are such a good boy. Keep it up." -

My Latest Lucid Dream was Last Week

Source

My worst sleep paralyses happened every night for five days when I was in high school.
When I am sleep paralyzed, the setting in my dream is the same as the place where I am sleeping in real life. The only difference is that there are scary hallucinations added to my simulated world, and I could not move my body except my eyes.

The Vision

"I can't see Elle's smile anymore, my love. I barely see yours."
The hurt in her voice tore at my heart.
"Why is it doing this to you Keziah?" I asked.
"The elders say it's a gift..."
"It is a gift Henry." She cut me off. "I can see the future." -

Devaluation of Money and Appreciation of Time

Luxury?
A car? A luxury house? Luxury furniture? I don't want any of that. I just want to have standard stuff that I'm happy with, a standard car. I've never dreamed of a Ferrari in my life, I used to dream of an Audi even when I was a little kid playing Need for Speed. I could probably buy it with lottery money, but it would be at the bottom of my list, way at the bottom of my list, and I would think thirty times before buying it.-

The Miracle of Lila

Source

As she scanned her surrounding, Lila quickly realized that a red, velvety and scented flower was responsible for her newfound vision. She picked the flower and brought it back home to show her parents. Shocked and amazed at the same time by what had happened to their daughter they immediately set out to find more of the red flowers so that they could determine the workings of its power and make a medicine that would help others who were blind. -

Sweet and special

“Peanut butter is the best food in ‘da whole world,” Izick mumbled.
“Really?” Mr. Williamson turned to Izick, who was on the floor cross-legged, his eyes stuck to the stove.
Izick nodded. “It’s sweet and warm, and really special,”
“Hmm,” Mr. Williamson nodded. “Like you.” he mumbled.
“Like me!?” Izick turned to him. -
