    This is more a fragment and I wouldn't bother writing it down except for two memorable things. I was at an outdoor park and found a display with little figurines on it. I picked one up, a figurine of a tower that was intricate and pretty. I turned it over and found a sticker on the bottom.

    The first thing I was able to do was read the label. It told the name of the tower, though I forget it. O'toole, O'hoole, O'xoole. Something. And it had a description of the metals in the figurine. It was pewter with other metals, but contained a small amount of mercury. I set it down quickly and thought that I should wash my hands.

    So then, I looked at my hand. It was normal aside from silvery residue on my fingertips. I went to go find a bathroom with a sink to wash my hands.

      Sorry for the late reply. For one, I can't normally read in a dream and I know most people can't. But I was able to read the sticker enough to know roughly what the tower's name was and know that it contained mercury.

      The second thing is that looking at your hands is a reality check, since they'll usually look weird in a dream. But mine just had staining on my fingertips, they were normal. Kinda sucked that I was aware enough to know that touching mercury was bad and that I should wash off residue, but I wasn't lucid.

      I see. I can usually read just fine, but words will be mostly nonsensical. My hands always look normal, which is why my reality check of choice is the nose pinch.

      I hate having pretty good sense in a dream but still not quite being lucid. I've been trying all day awareness, but it's hard.
