Wake Up

Mnemonic

If one runs into oneself and you don't wake up, just look down at your waist. If you're wearing an obi (お) you know it's a dream and you'll eventually wake up. If you aren't wearing an obi then it isn't a dream and you don't have anything to wake up from.

Hints

Your obi is like a special object you only have in dreams. If you have your obi, it's okay, it's a dream and you can wake up now! Make sure you memorize exactly how it feels so dream-you can't trick you or something.
