Lucid Night
By Dee Cooke
For Z-code interpreters
Solution by Garry Francis
----------------------------------------
This is a minimal solution. You'll need to EXAMINE lots of things for this solution to make
sense. Some optional (but significant) commands are shown in parentheses. These can be omitted once
you know what to do.
The game consists of four parts. Each part is a dream. In each dream, you must breathe (for one
point) and return to your bedroom (for one point). That's a total of eight points. Once you
have returned to your bedroom, you simply sleep to progress to the next part.
Scores are shown in parentheses as +A=B, where A is points earned and B is cumulative points
earned.
