(ICARUS)                 
                                          
 I   HAD   THIS   IDEA  THAT  YOU   COULD 
  CONSTRUCT REALITY CHECKS (AS FOR LUCID  
 DREAMING, WHERE  YOU'D  LEARN THIS HABIT 
 OF TRYING  TO SNEAKILY BREAK  THE  RULES 
 OF  CAUSALITY   OR   PHYSICS,   SUCH  AS 
 FLIPPING A  LIGHT  SWITCH  TO SEE IF  IT 
 ACTUALLY  TURNS   OFF  THE  LIGHTS,   OR 
 TRYING   TO  GET  YOUR  HANDS  TO  PHASE 
 TOGETHER. THE  THOUGHT BEING THAT IF ANY 
 OF THE "CHECKS"  ACTUALLY  WORKED, YOU'D 
 KNOW  YOU  WERE  DREAMING)   FOR  DATURA 
                 PLANTS.                  
                                          
 I THOUGHT,  YOU  COULD GET  IN THE HABIT 
 OF  THROWING THINGS ON  THE GROUND, LIKE 
    PENS. MEANT TO PORTRAY CIGARETTES,    
 BECAUSE  EVERYONE WHO DOES DATURA SMOKES 
 CIGARETTES. (THEY  IN  FACT AREN'T,  AND 
 SO  SOONER  OR   LATER   THE  CIGARETTES 
 DISAPPEAR, AND  THEY  SEARCH THE GROUND, 
 BUT NOTHING'S  THERE.) THROWING PENS  ON 
 THE  GROUND  AND PICKING  THEM  BACK UP. 
 AND BE REALLY  CONCERNED IF THEY WEREN'T 
               TO BE THERE.               
                                          
 THIS  IS  PROBABLY  NOT  HOW  DELIRIANTS 
 WORK.   BUT   I   HAD    THE    THOUGHT.
