[ WP ] You have the ability to bring stuff back from your dreams into reality , but only if your `` dream-self '' is holding them in your hands at the same time you get woken up . Things like a burger , a cool sword or even a precious jewel . However , today you wake up , and can only say `` Uh oh ... ''

The first time was like this: 
 
 I was running from the owner of a jewelry shop. He had a shotgun, and I was carrying a bag of stolen jewels. 
 
 I had n't stolen them, I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. See, I was homeless, and living beside this dumpster in an alley. I was awakened by the noise of someone throwing their trash away. 
 
 As soon as they left, I jumped in and grabbed the bag. Looking inside revealed it to be full of jewelry. When I left the alley, I came face to face with the owner of the shop, and he was aiming a shotgun at me. So I ran, and he shot me in the back. 
 
 Then I woke up. I was back in my bed in my little house next to my lovely wife. Except there was a bag of jewelry on my chest. 
 
 It took a while to get used to, but soon I got the hang of it. Anything I was holding in my hands when I wake up, would come back to the world with me. 
 
 That was over fifty years ago. I've had everything you could ever want. Mostly money to start with, but then I got more greedy. New game systems, new computers, I even figured out how to bring back cars. At first all of that was satisfying. Whatever was too big to bring back, I could buy. 
 
 But then I got creative. I would bring back impossible things. Mjolnir is one of my favorites. And my pet pigmy dragon. 
 
 My wife, the love and light of my life these sixty-eight years, had to leave me yesterday. We knew it was coming. We had talked about it and readied for it as much as we could. But I was still greedy. 
 
 I dreamed of her all night, and held her so tight. But when I awoke, I was alone.
