Doing it disrupts the environment; but the environment cannot conjure it on its own.

But if one manages to be awake enough to think this thought (but, again, not enough to disrupt), then what

just realized to be impossible becomes, by a loophole, possible.

The second dream must be reality, but a reality so thin--stone fruit skin thin--that it's inconsistencies aren't felt.

If it is too tough, too meticulous and precise, you will shortly realize you are not dreaming, but thinking.

And the thought that you are thinking becomes a waking one.

It must only be enough to get you (and whatever part you need to take back) where you want to go.

Focus on what you're trying to bring back rather than you, and the going, or you will wake yourself up in your eagerness to get there.

When you get there, don't think of going back. You won't, but whatever you brought probably will. You can't expect things to last long

where they should be.

Last night we called for our arm.

I know, right? Our own arm. But apparently the environment has no provisions for it.

I have failed before and gotten a real arm, instead of an environment compatible one. Then, afterwards, when you sleep, it all becomes very

muddy whether you got the real or the dream real.

But this time, we are certain it worked.

Before summoning the arm, we marked its current position (which is part of the summoning process itself, really): crossed over the chest and

grabbing the opposite shoulder.

It was fortunately a peculiar enough position for it to be quite memorable.

Then, upon waking, the arm was found in this same position,

showing no evidence of a sluggish attempt to drag the real object into the dream.

In instances of dueling to first blood, minor wounds could turn life threatening due to sepsis if the clothing was also pushed into the

wound.

Although complicating duels, this is the only desirable model I can find for this particular dream process.
