      I'm turning dreams into comics

      Hello community of dreamers! I have recently joined you here because I've started illustrating dreams. I have to stick to a strict 4-panel format so the really long complicated dreams don't fit, but if you want to submit a long dream that's ok, just know that I'll adapt it to my format. This is a fun experiment in imaginative illustration, so I hope you like the idea. You can see some of the dreams already processed as comics *link removed*

      If you have and dreams you'd like to see in my art style, consider submitting them to the above address, which is part of my comics site *link removed*

      I hope to hear from you, because I love reading about your dreams!

      Let me flick through my DJ...

      Alright I decided on this.

      ...

      I became lucid and left everybody. It felt like we were in an orchard now, we had planted so many trees. I felt like doing a lucid dare even though I made those a lower priority now. I had a false memory that I had a lucid dare/totm to fly to the moon, that of I had falsely remembered that I was meeting there with DawnEye11. Or I remembered a previous LD where I had tried to fly to the moon and failed.

      Flames on, we're flying! I looked down and saw that I was about fifty feet off the ground. All of the DCs stopped working on planting trees and stared up at me in amazement/confusion, asking how I was flying. You know, i'll be honest. It's starting to get old.

      I looked up at the moon. I knew with my standard flying technique it would take me all night to fly to the moon. I had to cheat. So I looked up in the sky and imagined the moon coming closer. At first it didn't work, but then the blue sky turned black and the moon started to fill up my vision. I regained control. I was flying at hyperspeed through space.

      The moon was coming up quick. I went around the dark side, sweeping low across the terrain. So low that I kicked up a bunch of moon dust and made a trail across the surface. I made a complete orbit and came around the dark side again, this time pulling 'up' twoard the north pole. There was a big flat crater here that looked like a good place to land.

      I halted my velocity and thought to move down toward the surface only to go flying at the surface at some absurd speed. I had to quickly freeze myself again. I was only a couple miles above the surface now. It was also now that I noticed that the moon was kind of a beige/sandy color rather than grey.

      Okay, I need to descend slowly! Just like in KSP landing on the moon is a delicate art...

      I shot back down at hyperspeed, even faster than before. Everything went dark for a second and I heard rock and dust exploding. I stood up and I had made a fifty foot wide crater for myself. I'm so lucky that I am invincible. I still remember shouting something profane when I hit the moon though.

      I decided I wanted to look up in the sky and see earth. But when I looked up at the direction I had came from, I didn't just see earth. I saw ALL the planets. They were all in a straight horizontal row, about moon sized in the sky. Some were a little bit bigger than others.

      "Mercury... Venus... Earth... Mars... Jupiter... Saturn.. Uranus... Neptune... even Pluto!"

      I started bouncing around in the gravity of the moon. Kudos to the dream for getting the gravity right. Even though I don't think I was wearing a space suit...

      I then saw a plastic container full of art supplies, things like colored pencils, pastels, paints, etc. I remember thinking "How did that get here?" I tried to pick it up and examine it. It seemed like it was attached to the ground. I couldn't pull it up, but I could push it down given enough force.

      I continued walking around. The beige/sandy color of the moon was beginning to shift to red, and I was starting to get a mars vibe. I saw a small canyon, that it looked like water had run through at one point. There was an Easter basket with a card on it.

      "To: Jade (this seems to have become my dream name...)
      From: Stanley (for some reason I read it Stan Lee, like the guy from Marvel comics.)

      I know it's a little late, but happy Easter. Hint: This basket weighs a lot."

      Some how or other I picked up on the idea that this was like the cube from portal and I had to put it on the art supply case (button), so I did that. I heard a door open somewhere and saw a tiny trapdoor about halfway between the button and the spot where I found the basket. It looked like it carried on underground with a metal slide.

      I wasn't sure how I was supposed to fit down there. I tried sticking one leg down the door and figured maybe some weird dream logic would take over and pull me down. But it didn't.

      I tried to shrink myself, and I think it worked. I shrunk to about two feet tall, and at that point I fell down the slide into an underground facility. For some reason, the slide split into three. The slide on the right went to a shredder. The slide on the middle went to a sewing machine. The slide on the right would drop me into a bin full of newspapers. I tried to lean to the right but ended up going down the middle.

      I came to the sewing machine. It was motion activated and a robot arm came out and tried to stitch me together, but I pushed it away as best I could. But when I got off at the end of the slide, my leg was full of stitches and bleeding everywhere. It didn't hurt though.

      The room had an office feel to it. There were filing cabinets and in the middle, this big machine. For some reason I assumed it was for making comic books since the tag on the Easter basket read Stan Lee. A man in an office chair was facing a desk. He turned around. He had short black hair and looked to be about 40 years old.

      "I am Rick Lee. Do you want to know the answer to life's greatest mystery?"

      "Um... yeah... I'm bleeding a lot, do you have a bandage? What is life's greatest mystery, anyway?" I guess my lucidity and therefore my invincibility were wearing off...

      "I know what Master Chief's face looks like! Here let me show you..."

      I woke up.
