Rivernile

I dreamd that I had coworkers down at my place, and this woman A... got out her T.V. At that point I became lucid because just by looking at it and concentrating, she could make people and things appear on it. I knew there was something special about that so I tried it myself.

When I started using the T.V. I was not so good at controlling the stuff that appeared on it. For example, as I play a lot of chess I wanted to see a chess set. When it appeared, there were many bishops, knights and all, but they were in a crazy position where they could all eat each other. So that made me unhappy because I couldnt practise chess in my dream. At least not on A...'s magic T.V.

My friend A... does not reflect society's idea of "cute". She is an assertive, muscular woman who is sometimes manlier than me. But when I summoned her on the T.V., a beautiful blonde girl with red lip-stick appeared (???). I summoned myself next, and that shocked me even more. Look, I have this idea of myself being an athletic, cool guy, who has style but is also smart. In my waking life, I even look like it! But on the magic T.V., I looked sweaty. I had unpleasant thinning hair, thin lips and acne scars. My magic T.V. self wore small glasses while my dream self and real self don't ! I was astounded.

the magic TV thing was fun to play with but it makes me wonder if physically, I may try to look like something that I am not psychologically. The psychological is probably more important.
