So there's some sort of membership you need at this one pool to be able to swim in it, and it involves filling out a lot of papers before you're eligible to get in. My friend really wants me to be able to swim with her there, so she is really getting on me about filling out the papers. We're at the side of the pool, and the papers are I think around 2/3 the way done, when I see Gabriel from Supernatural lounging on a pool chair. I don't remember if I just go over to him or he calls me over, but he asks me if I really want the pool membership, then gives me a tiny golden box of golden matches, that sort of sparkle. I walk back over to the papers spread out by the pool. I'm pretty sure I know what he wants me to do, but if it doesn't work, then I'll have to start all over again with the papers. I decide to go ahead and do it. I light a match, intending to burn the papers, while my friend protests beside me. However, the match goes out before it gets to the papers, because I am so hesitant. To my dismay, all the other matches in the box have burned too! However, the match that I'm holding is still smoldering, and I press it to the paper, and it catches fire. It takes a while, but I manage to spread that paper to all the other papers until they're all ashes. My friend is very upset, and I'm waiting anxiously to see if it really worked and I'll have a membership now. There is a screen over the pool, that goes fullscreen in my eyes and a bunch of options popped up, because apparently the membership for the pool isn't swimming in it at all, but using this thing. The options say things like, "earth", "sea", "constellations", and other things. Apparently the program is kind of like google earth, except that it applies to the sea and space, too - but only to places humans have already seen. Later (I might have clicked "sea"?) I see a few mermaids in this cove, and it looks like a 2D sidescroller, and I can only see the walls of the cove like barriers, and everything behind them is like a blue sea backdrop. Gabriel is one of the mermaids, and he's trying to lead the others out of the cave, but he keeps getting pestered by this other mermaid that has a different type of tail than the rest, and it's dark and split in two, and has no scales like she's more related to a hagfish than a fish, except that she has long, wavy fins. Later, I'm at a cabin in the woods, and somebody pulls up with their car. They get out, and I see peeking up from behind the car two komodo dragons. I say something like, "aw, you startled two komodo dragons!" And the guy says something like, "aren't those dangerous," and say yes, but that they shouldn't attack. They do. I tell him they can't climb trees and so I climb a tree and he follows, but apparently they /can/ climb trees. One bites me, but it doesn't break the skin, so I'm fine. We climb higher and higher and I think at some point I kick the komodo dragons off the tree. We keep climbing, though, and as we get higher, we encounter animals that are more and more dangerous. Each time I deftly push them off the tree - even a gorilla. We get to the highest part and their is a big cat, like a jaguar or a cougar, on a branch above our heads, and it'll strike at any moment. At some point I lose the guy I was with, and the cat comes for me. However, I convince it that we should eat candy instead of eat me. A bear comes over at some point and we all sit on a bed in the middle of the forest, next to a claw game that has candy in it. We have a bunch of bags on the bed and the floor full of candy and some other human foods. At some point before all this, I need to fight demons (or ghosts?)(I might have been The Batter from Off), so a guy is showing me where they are and how to fight them (I think it might have been Shadwell from Good Omens, or at least inspired by him). We do one thing that is supposed to attract demons but doesn't work, and I don't remember what it is. The next time, we are all on a carousel with the type of basket that has a cage all around it. Shadwell says we need to rock our basket as hard as we can. We do that, and no demons come, but as the carousel goes faster and faster, everything suddenly stops, and I'm told by Shadwell that at that point, our basket flies off from the carousel, apparently because of the extra weight added by the hulk that was apparently in the basket the whole time.
Oh yeah. Two nights. Two DILDs. Not DEILD like I would appreciate it, but two LDs nonetheless Not only that, in this one stuff HAPPENED! Not much, but STUFF! I dont remember much about my non-lucids, but who cares? The DILD: It is unclear how I ended up in this dream. The time was 2:50, but I dunno if I checked my real or dream watch. Im unsure about wether I got up from a false awakening or woke up, fell asleep and THEN got up. Anyway, I get up, go in the living room. Gabriel is waiting for me there, on the couch. Apparently he stopped at our house on his bike. At 2:50. Ok. Then I suddenly realise that dreaming is pretty much over now. U can forget DEILD for today. I dont like that, and tell my mom that its 2:50. It is day outside though. We chat for awhile until he leaves to Gab's house with...an 8 year old version of me. Im kind of half aware that its me, but I still wonder about how I never met what appears to be my lil bro. I ask if I can go with them, and mom says yes. As I am walking in the hallway I go: Oh lemme guess this is a dream. Yup. I do various reality checks, like turning a light on and off. Then I try to fly thru my window, fail, and walk outside. Instantly its dark outside again. Damn it, I kinda wanted daylight. The cats stalking the door, but it doesnt matter. Here is the place for lots of firsts. I encounter my first beautiful dreamscape. As I am walking outside, it starts to snow. Glowing, coloured snow. Its awesome. The trees are also covered and glitter in the night. If I could paint, I would paint it. Thats not my skill, though I am wearing a snow suit that seems to disappear and pop back up at times. I levitate for the first time. In the middle of the road, I do a backflip on my back and land floating two inches from the floor. Nice, but far from satisfying. Then as im floating I cant quite control it and get back on my feet a couple of times. So i give up and try the finger thru palm RC for the first time. I didnt know how it felt. So I remove my three pairs of gloves and push my finger. After a while, it pops right thru. Cool, but time's up. Already. I remember thinking: Awww, its over! Other crap: FA where I push down a bunch of round candy thinking il pick them up in the morning.
08/05/10 I hardly remember anything from last night. The first time I fell asleep, I experienced a few hypnagogic hallucinations, one of which formed into an actual coherent scene. I was talking to a recurring DC, although I don't remember which one, and I remember agreeing to something that I probably shouldn't have. I snapped out of the hallucination, but couldn't remember any details. The only real dream I have a vague memory of was talking to Castiel, who seemed a bit stressed out. A few flashes of wandering around a sandy-coloured city. Deals. Scare Factor: 3.
March 13, 2010 Um, spoilers for Supernatural 5x08. I think I can state at this point that I am having a bad day. My brother, Sam, has a tendency to randomly disappear and come home possessed, but usually these trips don't involve extra-dimensional portals. Goddamnit. Also, I can't find my jacket. "So, you're absolutely sure we'll be able to get back." "For the last time, boy," Bobby says, glaring at me for asking the same question several times, "This plan is foolproof." "Right. Foolproof." I look from the frayed rope looped around my waist, tied to a wooden post on Bobby's porch, to the bright and swirly portal leading to God knows where. "Bobby, I don't doubt your excellent research capabilities, but is this really going to work?" "Do you want to find Sam or not?" This pretty much ends all discussion on the matter, and I find myself stepping through the ominous swirly lights... ...and into a bar. The first thing I notice is that guy from the fan convention drinking at the bar. The second thing I notice: he's wearing my jacket. One bar fight later - (and I have to figure out how to steal a jacket off of someone who's wearing it. In the chaos, I figure it'll be easy enough just to will it into my hands rather than work on the physical mechanics of how you would get a jacket off of someone in a fight) - I have my jacket back. Oddly, it seems a little big for me. Sam's on the other side of the room, talking to someone who I don't actually pay any attention to. I march over there, "Excuse us," and drag Sam a few feet away. "Okay, we have got to get out of here." Sam just looks amused. We continue walking over to where the portal is - I can see it, swirly pink and blue lights and all - and I walk through it. Ow. I walk straight into the wall behind it. "Oh," says Sam, looking thoughtful, "Looks like you can't get me through this way." I'm out of time; if I don't leave now I'll be trapped in this dimension as well. Away from the apocalypse and all, but still. A flicker. Sam's face seems overlaid by something. Another face, one that I recognize. I rush at him, stopped after a couple of feet, held fast to the portal. "Where's Sam?" I growl. The fake Sam just smiles and walks away, waving. "Gabriel!" I shout after him, "GABRIEL!" Everything fades out, and suddenly I'm standing back on Bobby's porch. "So, how did that go?" asks Bobby. He gets no response. "Oh well, we'll try again later." I stand dumbly on the porch as he walks away for a few moments, before - That's not Bobby. Son of a bitch. Where the hell is a wooden stake angel-killing knife archangel's sword when you need one? Bad Fanfiction. Scare Factor: 2/10. Fun for the writer, torture for the reader. And the Trickster's not too bad... as long as he's not killing you several dozen times over.
