(that's her name) with no luck, and suddenly the phase
vanished. Once back in my body, I separated again. One of
my friends was still in my room.
I translocated myself to my school, and I suffered such a
loss of lucidity that I entered my classroom, sat in my desk,
and paid attention to the class lesson. Suddenly, I stood up
and said to myself "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" I left
the classroom, did some deepening, and threw my backpack
away. A friend came up to me and said, "hey, your
backpack!" I told him, "you can have it".
I can't remember what happened next. I probably fell
asleep (M.R.: no maintaining). The next thing I remember is

shooting ice balls out of my hands in a flowing motion as I
began to freeze the entire army of ninjas. As I was freezing

by a sword. The fun was over. I forced myself to wake up
(M.R.: wrong action).
After awakening, my boyfriend called me. Before saying
hello, he said, "April, please go back to sleep so I can take my
sword out of your back." I told him about my dream, and he
said that he sent the ninjas into my dream to distract me so
that he could put a sword blade into my back to test my
