Ahh, nothing like a fresh competition to get me to write in my DV DJ again. And not a bad start, I will say.

Fragment: I’m doing acting lessons in preparation for the Christmas play at my church.

After I do a WBTB, I find myself in this huge mall, where there’s a ton of weird people walking around, and even weirder stuff for sale. I walk outside in the parking lot, where there’s hardly any cars anywhere. Weird, why is it so packed inside then? I look up at the sky and suddenly realize that I’m dreaming. My mind immediately goes to knocking out my 3-step task for the competition. I start running and then slowly lift my feet off the ground until I’m hovering just a few feet off the ground while still moving forward. I round a corner and nearly slam into the hood of a police car pulling up to the intersection. Luckily, I swerve to avoid it and instead just graze the front of the car with my hand. I gain some altitude, but notice that there’s nothing past the edge of the parking lot - just a drop-off into the abyss. Guess I don’t really have anywhere else to go. I head back inside the mall.

I try to remember the second of my 3-steps, but for some reason mistakenly think it’s mind control. I walk up to this guy standing in the food court and telepathically tell him to make chicken noises. He suddenly starts bawking for a few seconds, until the bawks start to turn into coughs. I fly up to another really tall guy (seriously, like 8 feet tall) and try to manipulate his mind, but he instead starts reading my mind. “I know you think you can change my mind, but I won’t be doing that.” Wow, what a tool. “I know you are, but what am I?”

I’m in a different location now, somewhere in the country that looks like a setting from Little House on the Prairie. I’m working for the sheriff, who is basically a glorified drill sergeant, barking orders at me to do random menial tasks. He wants me to fetch water from a super dirty water pump in someone’s backyard and pour it into a pipe sticking out of the ground 3 feet away. Of course, he doesn’t give me a bucket, and the only ones lying around are caked with dirt and rust. I remember my third step is element manipulation, so instead of using a bucket, I try to pull water straight out of the ground. I put both my hands forward and focus super hard, and manage to make a ball of crystal clear water rise out of the ground. I slowly move it over to the pipe, as it morphs into a sort of rounded cube. I drop it right into the pipe and smugly turn back to the sheriff. He’s incredibly angry that I used powers - so angry, in fact, that he takes a swing at me with an axe. His first swing hits me in the shoulder, and there’s a bit of pain for a short second, but it goes away before his second swing. I dodge it and manage to grab the axe out of his hand, before breaking it over my knee.

I wake up in some version of my house. My parents have told me they’ve repainted the guest bedroom. I walk in to see that the walls are painted black, with random pink and blue lines painted in certain places. It looks like that hideous 90’s laser background. I walk back into the hallway and realize that the layout of the house makes no sense, which makes me lucid. I head back to the living room, where I see the sheriff from the previous dream in a game that’s playing on my Xbox One. As I walk by, I get a video call through my Xbox from some user named “Fatal”. I don’t recognize the username, but when I see the video preview, I realize it’s JadeGreen. I hit the answer button, but I realize that I don’t have a camera or a microphone to talk to him with. Yet somehow, he hears me through the controller. Once the video is full-screen, I can faintly make out Manei standing in the background. I tell him to hang on a second, I need to find a keyboard and camera. I rummage through the living room, but don’t find anything, so I try to summon a keyboard with no luck. I eventually wake up for real.

I fall back asleep and have a 3rd-person dream where I’m watching this car chase involving the cast of Leverage and Scrubs in a black Cadillac trying to outrun the cops. Sophie (Leverage) and Carla (Scrubs) are sticking out of the car firing tommy guns at the police cars. At one point, the car hits a ramp and flips, but everyone inside is fine.

I’m now at some church event where all of the band is in an RV right by a huge outdoor stage. We’re just kind of chilling in the RV, when we hear the music start on stage, which is our cue to get up there. I walk down the steps, when I’m only wearing a t-shirt and underwear. I rush back in the RV to change, but I’m passed by an old gentleman who is wearing only his underwear and doesn’t seem to care.
