Lucid trying to hold on

Date: 1/24/2018

First I was in a dingy little house that I think represented my student house. We have a mouse problem in reality so I was in the bathroom, disgusted by the grime and went upstairs to this very small attic side door. I was scared but crawled through and once I was in it wasnt so bad. It turned out to be my room, quite big, with a TV and games console so I played for a while in the dark damp room. Then this rat sized mouse was just staring from the wooden floor. It didn't try to run when I grabbed it. I held it tight when it squirmed and rushed downstairs. One of my housemates decided to have a very long talk about it just by the front door. It started biting frantically at any flesh that wasn't its own. I saw the small red marks and felt the throbbing, getting worried about infection. I rudely pushed past my flatmate and threw the mouse into the street. I rushed all my flatmates inside so it wouldn't come back in and closed the door. 2 minutes pass and my flatmate carelessly leaves without checking and the mouse scurries back in. I sigh with frustration in the plain living room. I put my hands to my face in defeat. When I take them away I notice my fingers are a lot more chunky and distorted. HOLY **** I'M DREAMING. First thing that crossed my mind: don't think of anything scary. The already dim room got darker and blotches of red appeared on the walls. I thought nope you don't have to experience this and started flying upwards, the ceiling seemed to stretch with me. I think; I don't wanna be here, so while flying I press my arms into the wall and it felt like very thick cool syrup. As I push myself through I think; where would I like to be? ... ... CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY! I go through the wall completely and flop into the chocolate factory's big room where everything is edible. I run wild eating and trying everything I can. The chocolate river was there but for some reason I still respected Wonka's rule not to drink. I got through maybe a quarter of the room before waking.
