The dream is telling me to remember my dreams carefully so I can reconstruct them and change one element at a time to learn everything one has to show me. I realize I'm dreaming but the dream hasn't formed yet. It's still whispy. So I practice visualizing things. I see a cottage but it's overlaid on a landscape that I know. Everything has a blue tinge. Suddenly everything pops into hyper vividness. Like HD real life. There is a wooden dock going over the lake. It's a summer night with the moon out. It's pouring rain, and I start walking out the dock. With the intention of asking the dream to see my subconscious. As I'm walking I tell myself no dream stabilization is needed my awareness stabilizes the dream. A pirate is sitting in the shadows. He tells me it will cost me a hand. But I said I didn't care. I get to the end of dock and yell I want to meet my subconscious. The dream blurs into black and I have a FA.

What did I do wrong?
