So I was in Bengaluru, at my Grandmother's house. For some context, they have a lot of books, some of them hand-bound into volumes, such as Phantom and Mandrake comics. The Asterix Comics entire series are there, and these have been covered with transparent material. Me and my two cousin sisters, and my grandmother did all these covers, as part of craft. Mine are a bit wonky.
So in the dream, I was in that house, reading a low quality book, that just came apart as I was reading it. It was a fairly fat book, and part of a series, something like the Oxford Quick Reference series, but the books were even smaller. Some were thin, some where fat, not of uniform size. Anyway, so this book kind of falls apart, some of the gatherings (this is the clump of pages sewn together, also known as a signature) had been inverted, and one had come apart and was reinserted into the wrong position.
I then got into an argument with my aunt and cousin as we all tried to put it back together. It was a bit argumentative, but it was like catching up at the same time. My grandmother was silent and not saying much, just working on fixing the book. I let them figure it out while they were blaming me, while I carefully covered the rest of the books in the series in nice brown and grey craft paper on the inside, and black covers on the outside, with gold letters in Times New Roman.
This is the second time in two days that I have seen lettering in Times New Roman in my dreams. While I wasn't kicked to lucidity this time, I did sort-of realise everything was fake, and it pushed me towards wakefulness. It is one thing to be lucid and continue to dream, controlling your actions in the dream world. It is another thing to 'wrap up' a dream while you slowly wake up and the dream dissolves, where you transition from dreaming to kind of directing or wishing lol. Anyway, when I was done, I was awake, and had decided consciously (not lucid) that my completed, wrapped books looked like this!
