INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Once you have achieved lucidity, it is possible to act within and sometimes to control your dream. Acknowledge that it is possible, and encourage yourself to succeed - dreams, after all, are purely psychological so waking up from them is too. First of all, throw your head back and try to open your eyes. Concentrate on waking up. Use as much willpower as you can muster. Don't worry if this fails – in a lucid state you have many options. If you want to wake up, read something like a book or a sign. Many people find that they cannot read during dreams or that the text changes. Concentrate on the words and the letters.  This usually activates a portion of your brain that is disabled in REM sleep. Lucid dreaming allows you to realize that you are in control and often lets you direct a dream. The possibilities are, quite literally, endless. Exert your will toward changing the dream or at least the scenario. You might turn the tables on your nightmare, for example, by shrinking the monster that is chasing you. You might also escape by flying away.  Try to blink. This will focus your mind on the act of waking. Close your eyes and wait a few seconds before reopening them. Try this several times. You might also try to ignore the nightmare. Close your eyes, tightly and try to think about the real world or a different scenario. Think of your bedroom like what is it like when you wake up. Talk to yourself and then try to open your eyes. If you can, escape the dream. You might try flying but also teleporting, willing yourself to a different location, running through a wall, or sinking down into the ground. Find a lull in the action, close your eyes, and listen to the activity of the dream fade away. If you find yourself on the brink of consciousness, focus hard on the light at the end of the tunnel - the fuzzy shapes of your bedroom - and bring yourself to them. To avoid falling asleep back into the dream, sit up in your bed, blink a few times, and focus on a clock or object. If all else fails, wait until the dream ends. Human dreaming occurs during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep, and we typically dream for only about two hours per night, broken up into several REM cycles. Contrary to popular belief, moreover, time in dreams is not compressed. The activity in a dream takes about as long as if it were occurring in real time.  All you need to do, then, is to wait anywhere from ten minutes to an hour and the dream will naturally end.

SUMMARY: Try to wake up. Control the dream. Wait out the dream.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make sure that there's no car behind you before you try to parallel park. If there is a car behind you, wait for it to pass or pull into a driveway or side-street ahead, and then approach the spot again. This will let other cars know that you're parking. Shift your transmission down so that you approach the spot at no more than 2–3 mph (3.2–4.8 km/h). If you're driving an automatic car, just lightly press the brake, and if you're driving a manual car, shift down to a lower gear and lightly press the brake. It should be at least a foot apart from the car. If it's too close, then you may hit the car when you start moving backward.  Continue to check your mirrors and blind spots to make sure that the coast is still clear.  Turn around before you begin to move backwards.  If you're driving an automatic car, that's all you need to do. If you're driving a manual car, then you should slowly let go of the clutch as you press the gas. If you're parking on a hill, then you can keep pressing the clutch and just slowly move your foot off the brake.  Continue to back up until you're fully in the space. You may not get it on your first try. You can move back and steer your wheel away from the curb, then move forward again while steering your wheel toward the curb, and repeat this process until you've got it right. Shift it into first gear if you're driving a manual car, and shift the car into Park if you're driving Pull forward until you're evenly positioned between the car in front of you and the car behind you. Keep your foot on the brake as you turn your wheels in the right direction. If you're pulling into a flat spot, just straighten your wheels. If you've parked uphill, you can turn your wheels away from the curb, and if you've parked downhill, you can turn your wheels toward the curb. This will keep your car from rolling away if your brakes are disengaged. Pull forward until you're evenly positioned between the car in front of you and the car behind you.

SUMMARY: Check your rear-view mirrors. Turn on your signal. Slow down your car. Pull your car so that it's parallel with the car in front of the open space. Shift into Reverse (R). Back up. Turn your wheel toward the curb. Lightly press the gas. Move the car backward until it's halfway in the parking space. Steer your wheel away from the curb. Park the car. Turn your wheels in the right direction. Shift into first gear. Pull up your parking brake.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most machines have a heating mechanism for the water, but using hot water helps. Use water that is as hot as possible without actually being boiling. Only put as much water as the machine directs so that you don’t overfill the water tank. Look for a max fill line on the water tank. Some natural fiber carpet can shrink from hot water or be harmed by detergent, so always be aware of what type of carpet you are planning to steam clean. Steam cleaners usually use a detergent of some kind, so make sure to check the machine’s instructions to use the right kind. Only use the amount directed, as using too much soap will cause it to stay in the carpet. Some machines will have a specific compartment where the soap goes, and others might direct you to mix the soap into the water. Steam is not actually what cleans the carpet, a detergent or cleaner is. If you are sensitive to chemicals or want a natural option, vinegar is great for cleaning. Mix a 50/50 solution of vinegar with the hot water.

SUMMARY:
Fill the steam cleaner with hot water. Add soap as directed. Opt for vinegar over detergent.
