At one point, I decided I had enough. I would concentrate on th hill in front of me and force the sun to rise over its forested top.
I raised my hand. I pointed. I was confident that I had the power to manifest my own illusions.

This couldn't be real! I became frightened and pulled my arm back.
At that moment, the light manifested as car headlights. There must have been a road at the top of the hill... but I wasn't convinced that I hadn't created this illusion to justify my fears...
