trying to get back into the dream. This was getting really
interesting. I held the store and its name in mind again and
tried to sink back into it, but to no avail. The vibrations
started up again and I felt myself starting to project. This
time the projection reflex caught hold and buzzed me out of
my body. I came to rest at the foot of my bed. The house was
dim and quiet as I floated around my bedroom deciding what

hang of this now, and realized that projecting into the dream
was much easier from my left side. Settling back into myself
and holding the store's image and name in my mind again, I
slipped back into the store. Everything was normal and I was
back where I had originally started from again, with the same
young lady busily setting up her dining display. She
