meeting at the tree wtf!? I go straight into a WILD, I plan on meeting my daughter at the tree and leave the house straight away, she comes with me from the house, but, nope, this is not her - her face is not her, it's a dc. DC's are always shifting from one form to another. It is getting easier to tell the difference between a DC and a real person (YES!!) As I reach the tree I wake up. urgh I go straight back into a dream and head for the tree again, this time from a different location. Again, just before I arrive (it is like a second away) I wake up. F**k! Really annoyed I am determined to get to the tree, so I go back under and head to the tree. AGAIN. As I reach the tree I realize that my daughter is not there, she has not been here for any of these times, I just know it. But, even if she is not here why can't I still not get to the tree? I start to faze out, NO!, I grip onto the dream rubbing my hands together, I stay in the black void for a few seconds but cannot help it and wake. As I wake up I think about why it is I cannot go to the tree, over the last few weeks she has been adding new additions to the tree and I have been contributing less and less. I think the tree has now completely gone over to HER dreaming, and it only is around, or accessible when she visits it. When I talk to her she confirms what I already suspected - she could not go to the tree that night! Unexpected encounter I give up trying to find my daughter and instead go with the intent to find flowmysoul, although when in the dream I am a little confused and start to try to find Raven instead. I start to form a portal but my powers are not working correctly. urgh. I wonder how I am supposed to find her when I have so little control at this time. **time missing** I am talking with someone, a dc - I tell him to make a portal for me. Nomad is with me, or a dc of Nomad, not sure. As he starts to talk to me I can see he is not a dc. wow, that's embarrassing! 'Sorry about that mate, I didn't realise you were a real person!' As I look at him at I take note of his appearance. solid, not shakey or morphing. He is medium height, quite chunky (though by all means not fat, just a little overweight) his hair is dark short and wavy. 'I walk around the dreams allot, in and out - all over the dreaming - though I don't usually like to create portals as they create too much unwanted attention' Wow, this is the first I have heard of this. 'the first thing we need to do is create a symbol to use as the source of power for the portal to appear from' He takes out a sheet of paper and starts to sketch a chinese style Dragon onto it. This then appears on Nomads arm. 'I have used features of his arm and incorporated them into the tattoo design' At this he indicates a large mole on Nomad's right arm which he has used as a more prominent scale on the dragon. I am amazed at this whole explanation and that I have randomly came across another dreamer. I wonder how he sees me and Nomad, and if he sees me as real dreamer and Nomad as a dc 'what do you see when you look at us? Do you think we are both real dreamers?' I feel myself drifting and think I will probably wake soon. Need to hurry. I stop him before he can answer. 'can you create the portal now instead? I think I will wake up in a moment' I really want to see his technique through to the end. But no, I am forced awake. Who was this guy?
