Labyrinth of Light
In her dream, Janice stood on the staircase landing in total darkness, paralyzed by fear. This reflected her waking life, where she lived each day in crisis, afraid of making bad choices.
She found an internet article on lucid dreams. Before going to sleep that night, Janice meditated, persuading herself to find the courage to step off the landing.
A labyrinth of light appeared in her dream, its pathways leading away from her self-inflicted paralysis. Janice descended the staircase, going outside into the night. Stars greeted her, beckoning her to follow them into the unknown as they light her way.

I hope the dream helps her to worry less in her waking life. Great dream-like atmosphere-
Wow! I wish I had that same kind of dream. Maybe I will now. I’m with Gabriele — great atmosphere. Very dreamlike.
Interesting take … To be able to break free perhaps.. Or further on to other lucid dreams
Sounds like she’s making progress
This is so atmospheric – I really enjoyed it.
