October 30, 2013 review: non lucid, adventure dream, low memory. I join new friends, meet a cute guy and time travel Time Travel with Friends I'm the newest member of a group of young time travelers. Most of them are in high school, but the group is really a mix of all ages. Either way, we meet at the high school. The members would just skip class and we would meet in a secluded room. Mostly we just chilled and hanged out, I felt like I joined a group of hippies. Most of the hangouts included stories of most recent adventures. My dream gets a bit fuzzy, but one of my first adventures was to a waterfall, hidden away in some forgotten temple like place. My new friends wanna skinny dip, but one of our older members, a woman of about 45, feels too embarrassed to undress. My friend, Richmond, ensures her that she's beautiful and that no one in the group cares about her age. My and Richmond were growing real close. His girlfriend is still time traveling in the past, but Richmond still insists on being closer to me, more and more through our adventures. I was falling for him. I wasn't the only one in the group developing a complex relationship. There was also a pair of inseparable best friends. By the looks of it, you'd think they were both guys, just two best pals. But in reality, one of them was actually a tom boy. She was madly in love with her best friend. But her best friend? He was idiot who had no idea that his best friend, is actually a she. She was so embarrassed, "how do I tell him I'm actually a girl?" Oh well Richmond is driving me to the new location of our adventure, just before waking up he steals a kiss. I immediately fall back asleep into the same dream. Richmond and the group is planning their next trip, this time through time. I'm not missing my first trip through time!! We were split into three time traveling teams. The first one was sent out on a pirate ship. But their transition into space-time went all wrong, and they were gone forever. The remaining teams understood the risks, but were crazy and don't car. My team with Richmond is waiting for our magical bus to arrive. Suddenly I need to pee. I quickly use the toilet, I can't miss my ride! When I get back the bus is fully loaded (in my dream it looked like a shoe box filled with items). There were no seats left for me! NO WAY! I'm not missing this ride! I double check the seats again, some of them didn't have people, just random items. Why does the bible need its own seat?? I scoot aside the bible and take the front seat, which was next to Richmond. Someone hollers from the back "if you're going to take the bible seat then you have to tell us biblical stories when we get there!" "fine!" Whatever! I squeeze down into the seat, which was hard at first because it was a shoe box. But slowly my dream goes back to sanity, and I'm safely boarded inside of a roller coaster. The clerk double checks our belts. "All ready for space-time travel!" I'm scared! I look over at Richmond and he seems annoyed that I'm sitting next to him. It's his fault he flirted with me when he has a girlfriend! The ride starts! Its just like a roller coaster! "Hold my hand!!" Richmond smiles and obliges And were off, flying through space-time, galaxies, stars, planets. Were entering our destination. Team 2 screws up and is lost somewhere in space time. Just before landing Richmond turns to me and asks sternly "What is it that you want from our relationship? What do you hope to gain?" And I answer "Your friendship!" With that he smiled and stopped acting weird We land safely. It's earth, pre-war era. Not exactly fun. This time period is stiff and has all sorts of social norms and rules that would hold our group back. Already members are complaining that the bar is closing early. The city was dreary, as if in black and white. A security guard walks out from a building. "Quick act natural!" We quickly scurry and try to blend in. For us female members this past really sucks because we weren't exactly equal citizens. Still it was an adventure.
(I am unsure how the dream started, so I will start from where I do remember.) I'm walking down a road with a woman under my left arm (which I felt like was my wife/gf in the dream). We were going to a restaurant but I forget which one. As we continued on, we passed an Olive Garden and I asked the woman if she would rather eat there instead of where we were initially headed. She answered rather indifferently so I decided to go inside. Immediately after entering the Olive Garden, I realized I was dreaming and decided this was the best place to do some experiments involving my 5 senses. First, I started touching my surroundings, however my sense of touch was much less sensitive than it usually is. Then I started testing my sense of hearing by simply listening to the hustle-and-bustle of the restaurant, which I could hear faintly. Satisfied, I started testing my sense of taste. This was difficult at first as I had nothing to eat, so I approached one of the tables and saw a woman eating chips and salsa. I reached over and took some (the woman gave me a look of approval, as if it was okay for me to take some). I believe I could taste the chips/salsa, however it was too faint to make a definitive answer. Unfortunately that was all the testing I could get in before my dream ended, but I do plan to continue my tests in future lucid dreams. Hopefully dreams that are more vivid as well .
Journal Entry #Lucid 1 (Lucid, non-dream) Background: This is my first post. I am not good at writing so this may not seem interesting at all, but nonetheless it was to me. This would be my 16th lucid dream but most of them are not long, due to me not stabilizing the dream when I have the chance, just like this one. This is my 2nd WILD experience the other one was a very intense dream compared to this. I just want to post the process in which both times became successful, so that I won't forget and maybe it might help others get some idea of there own. My process: 1) I don't know if this will affect a WILD, but I do about 20-24 reality checks during the day. I aim for 2 an hour but I sometimes might do 3 or 4 and sometimes just one an hour. 2) I drank lots of water before going to sleep. My bladder i guess likes to wake me up 3-5 hrs depending on what time I sleep. If I sleep at 8 pm, I would wake up at 12:30 am, 9 pm at 2, and so on. 3) So wake up in night and write down your dreams before you pee. This is actually very important, by placing importance on your dream instead of your bladder, your brain will place importance for it as well. 4) This is also important: MEDITATE. You know the usual meditation, close your eyes, concentrate on the breath, for this particular mediation do not try and control the breath, and come back to the breath when thoughts arrive. Also do it in the dark helps you concentrate. You could also do a simple phrase meditation, " I will realize that I am dreaming" This made me a critical thinker in a dream and helped me question my dream state, but this will not give you a WILD. (I am not good at meditation. And the experience won't always be the same, so don't expect too much) I do a short 10 min meditation sometimes 15 min I until develop sharp concentration, but feel free to do more or less. 5) Fail at an OBE: Kind of sounds weird but failing an OBE (out ot body experience will take you to a dream).The first time I laid there motionless for some time and with little success of an OBE, so I gave up and went to sleep, and woke up directly in a dream. The second time, I was listening to binaural beat made by the great Robert Monroe, as he likes to call it Hemi-sync. If you guessed I failed again, I laid there for 1 hr motionless, without realizing it. But when I stopped trying and told myself to go to sleep I became successful, not with OBE, but with sleep paralysis. As I was almost asleep I heard Robert Monroe's voice, "remember what you want" I don't know if it was from the audio that I was listening to or if it was the hallucination. I said to myself, I want to come out of my body. I started feeling the vibration, and also the hallucination. I started hearing a sinister laughter, very high in pitch, it was terrifying. I was terrified, of not only the wild hallucination, but the vibrations. This was my first Sleep paralysis experience as well. So instead of trying to come out my body, after the vibrations have subsided, I let the dream take over. (to be continued down in the dream section) DREAM: I saw the dream being formed, and no it does not have to be as delicate as other lucid dreamers make it to be, mine was a little bit aggressive. I saw numbers, colors, random objects flying over, I was spinning along side the numbers and objects, which can only be described as an acid trip. And I look down I see all these blocks. They looked pretty simple at first, but when I thought, "is this a city?" it became a city. let me remind you that I was floating in the air as the dream is being made. Then I started falling, and as I was about to hit the ground I couldn't help but think about Prototype, the game. I hit the ground, the floor cracked and the shock wave killed some people. I saw the people running, I kept telling them that it was an accident and they don't have to fear me.( I like pleasant dreams and pleasant lucid dreams). Every one I turned to started running, even if they didn't see me do it, the fact that it was in my conscious, triggered them to run. So I thought for a minute how do I convince them I am a good guy. I imagined a cyclops to appear, I turned and looked, and there was a cyclops. I started to fly and I beat the cyclops with one punch to the face. They cheered and accepted me as a good guy. The dream was starting to get fuzzy, and I lost my lucidity. Update to self: I have not came across a technique that works perfectly yet. I have came across techniques that work sometimes and not other times. My idea is doing everything out of happiness and love. In most of my LD, I normally go to sleep content not raging for a LD, but still wanting to LD. So what ever can make it more enjoyable then it is worth the time. Even reading books, watching a show, as long as you are happy with still focused mindset on LD you might get it. Meditation is important as well but again do it out of happiness. I started doing love and kindness meditation out of love and happiness and I had consecutive LD those nights. 2/16/16: came back to read my first entry on the website. Since I have fallen short on LD because my focus changed to school, I lost my motivation. I come back to read my first post, and this is a reminder to future me that happen to glance at this page: I know that school is important, but it does not give me happiness. To remind myself: Why do I practice lucid dreaming? Its because life is short, and it is best to live it to the fullest, live it lucid.

LUCID NON-LUCID NON-DREAM Dream fragment #1: Take a bath in the washroom . This was a digusting dream ... The bathtube was very dirty . I only knew when I let the water drain away ...... Sh*t kept showing ............ EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Dream Fragment #2: Saw Long and Uyen .. I went with somebody couldn't remember to a park .... Was quite a beautiful park but it was cold ... We were sitting on chairs that could be pushed up and pushed down .... Long and Uyen sat behind me ... I played with my chair .... I saw a kid on a bike biked pass us .. Somebody told me it was my Dad's Friend's Kid named "Bi Em" ... I wondered if he was this big already (but really , he wasn't big in my dream , why the heck I said that?) . . . Woke up in the morning (by myself) ... wanting to have a lucid so I just went ahead and lied down , waited for the sleep paralysis to happen ... Closed my eyes but still could see the scene in my mind's eye ..... I could see my ceiling ..... Then I felt vibration all over my body ... And the scene in my mind started to change (the ceiling changed) ... I knew that I was about to projecting my mind to have a lucid dream ..... Ceiling changed from my normal ceiling to a ceiling with a fan .... I laughed myself thinking "what the heck is my subconscious trying to do here.." ..... Then the scene fainted .... I took my non-physical arms up and cleaned my non physical eyes ... Opened the eyes again , started to rise up ... and finally I saw the scene in front of me .... There was a clothes shelf (very old clothes shelf) with a mirror on it ... I saw myself in the mirror ... That was me a long time ago , when I was in grade 8 ... with long hair , wearing glasses , I was pretty slim (much slimmer than now....) , wearing that pink shirt and a short ..... I didn't take much thinking about that part ...... I wondered what would it be outside the windows ... I had a glance first and it looked much better than yesterday's scene ... But when I got closed to it .... Scene changed to a much more darker scene with more destructive features ..... I didn't mind exploring it although it looked sad and somewhat looked scary (although I didn't feel much fear) ... Decided to fly through the windows but this time I could not fly through the windows's net ... was because I was thinking in my head "maybe I could not fly through this?" - and I did not really fly through it .... I was sad .... and the sadness drew me back to the physical body ... no more lucid .... Woke up for real for some quite time .... When I closed my eyes again , vibration started to bring up again .... But this time I didn't want to go out of body anymore because I was discouraged .. So I just lied there and read out loud the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" .... Scene in front of my eyes started to change .... I was physically covered with the blanket and now the blanket started to appear in front of the mind's eye ... It was all gray-scale at this time (I usually dreamed in colors not in black-gray-white..) There are some words on the blanket .. English words and then the explaination in Vietnamese was next to it ... I only remembered one word clearly , that was "Teetee" , I couldn't remember the explaination well but I knew the explaination for the word "Teetee" was somehow regarding a rat/a mouse .... There were some more words but I didn't remember them ... I was discouraged because I could not hear or talk or see or feel my Spirit Guides ... I asked them to show up but I didn't see anything yet ... Later on I heard a male's voice speaking in some language I couldn't understand ... My mind's playing trick with me again ? Then I woke up for real ...

First dream: I was watching a film with my dad, we were at the cinema and there were aliens trying to figure out the names of people involved in something (in the film). Then, my dad looked at me, said "we can't let them have the names!", got up and ran out of the cinema. I suddenly realised that, yes, we had to stop them, so I ran after him. Once I left the cinema, I was at what seemed like a bar/diner. Caroline Forbes from The Vampire Diaries was there and she was also trying to stop the aliens. I was as fast and as strong as a vampire, so when somebody attacked her, I attacked them. Before I could see who they were, the person had already disappeared. Caroline thanked me and told me we had to keep going. We left the bar/diner and the streets were full of zombies. We quickly got inside this building, it was old and looked like a bar from those cowboy films. It was empty, except for a computer. There was an alien there and it said it'd destroy the Earth if we didn't help it get the names. Caroline looked at me and said that there were lots of names. As long as we stalled, we could kill them. I agreed and told the alien that I could get the names, but it'd take about 24 hours. I sat down and started using the computer. The alien said that it was not stupid, it knew I wouldn't give it any names. I then said a name that was on the computer. I asked if that was one of the names it was looking for. The alien said that yes, it was. So I replied that I could get the others, but it was all lost on the computer and it'd take a day to recover everything. The alien agreed and left the building, saying it'd be back later. Caroline said she'd get some help and left. I got out of the building too and ran into my cousin. He said we had to stop the zombies and the aliens. The zombies were still out in the streets. I said that we had to and we started running. I told him I had to go to the bathroom first and we found a bathroom building (it was a whole place with bathroom stalls). He stayed outside while I went there. For some reason, I started thinking about something else. My cousin shouted that there were more zombies there and he wouldn't be able to wait much longer. I got into a stall and started peeing. Then I felt like something was wrong. In real life, I always do a reality check when I'm peeing, cause I'm afraid of wetting my bed (yep, I really am afraid of that). I realised then that I hadn't done my reality check! I looked at my hands and... nope, all good, five fingers in each hand. I finished peeing and went outside to find my cousin and LOTS of zombies. I woke up. Second dream: I was told that there was an art thing going on downstairs, at the mall. Since I had nothing better to do, I went there and, on the walls of the stairs, there were lots of Lea Michele pictures. I got excited. What if she was there!? I got there and I saw Dianna Agron and Kevin McHale looking at this weird rock. They were talking about it, wondering what it was. I walked over there and read that it was a rock of the feet (...whatever that mean...) and told Dianna Agron that and it was not important at all. I put my hand on her shoulder for two seconds, just to tell her that there were more important stuff there and to not lose hope, but when I was leaving, she held my hand. She said she was tired of the art place. I asked her if she wanted "to go upstairs at the mall or...?" and she said "or.", so I started guiding her to an exit door. I asked if she wanted "to have something to eat or...?" and she said "or." again. After that, It was very obvious to me she wanted to have sex with me. Don't ask me how I didn't realise it was a dream. I guess I was too busy thinking of sex with Dianna Agron? Anyway, I confirmed with her that we wouldn't be able to go to her hotel room, since there were probably paparazzi there, and then I thought I couldn't take her to my house either, since my parents would be there. I quickly realised we had to go to another hotel. We went to this place where they rented cars and the machine was all weird. Finally, a guy who worked there decided to help. He started telling all the good things about renting a car and I quickly made him stop. "Look, man, you don't have to sell the product here. I NEED a car for one day, NOW." He said okay and started pushing the buttons on the machine. Dianna Agron said "oh, that's great, we can finally go!" and I woke up. Third dream: There were terrorists attacking us (I have no idea who "us" were, though, I was in a big group) and we had to find this room at a hotel where some people with actual power could help us. We were very discouraged, though, since we didn't think they'd hear us. Then, Lea Michele showed up and we were all super happy. We knew they'd hear us if we had Lea with us! We all welcomed her and started walking at the stairs of the hotel. A woman was going downstairs and she saw us. She hugged Lea and she said it was good to have her on our side. We kept going until Lea stopped in front of a door. She knocked and a guy opened it. He was happy to see her and he barely remembered to invite us, the non-Lea members of the group, inside. Still, we all got in and he was gushing over her. Then, he finally remembered us and said he could help us. He said he'd get us an apartment and even a way of going from one place to another. He then opened a door and showed us something like this: But with more seats and pink. He told us to leave and we did. We found our apartment and I had a girlfriend. We were going to have sex but then everybody else arrived. She started getting depressed with us staying locked inside because of the terrorists and, by the time I woke up, she was thinking about suicide.
I dreamed I was Jesus. Or maybe a Jesus-ian figure, for legal purposes and what not. I'm giving the famous Sermon on the Mount. There is a giant crowd, and I'm preaching under a large tree on top of a hill. I'm trying to give an uplifting message, but I also know via Dream-o-knowledge that there are people out in the crowd who is purposely/accidentally going to fuck it up for everyone else. So I keep tailoring my speech so that it can't possibly be misconstrued, but my Dream Jesus powers of mind-reading tells me it's not working. I am tempted to smite them with God powers, but as I'm Jesus, I had to remain patient. This goes on for a bit before the dream fades.
Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps. Apparently i keep having dreams about competition, haha. Dream 1(fragments): There was something about a professor researching HH in some lab. Dream 2(fragments): I was updating competition and noticed dream in which dragonmaster got dragon wings, then suddenly there were various dragon images in every post in thread. Dream 3(fragment): I was in bed and random bee was distracting me. Dream 4(fragments): There was some discussion about the cost of something.
Dream 1(fragments): There was some story about some random dude who went to some party and was apparently a mayor. Then he at night went out of home and apparently got to time travel between a few random places and then go into some buildings and speak to few people, trying to find solution to get out of travel loop. Dream 2(fragments): I was playing some warcraft 3 level and i was controlling three heroes, one warrior one mage and one ogre. I had to fight through a few places to level them up and eventually reached some nether place. There were some items and forest of giant mushrooms and had to fight some giant wolves. Then discovered some kind of explosive switch which exploded something in the distance. Dream 3(fragments): There was some story(With some switches to first person at times) about some people discovering some kind of AI thing, which then transformed into spherical bot and they had to fight it. Then they went outside and there were zombies and spherical thing was larger and was flying around. Dream 4(fragments): I was playing hearthstone and was lacking taunt cards.
I went into a public bathroom in an unknown location. (I may have been at Long Shots, the local pool hall I go to, not sure.) I entered the men's bathroom, because I identify as, and appear to be a male. I was surprised to discover that the restroom was passably clean. It was also not the same bathroom I had been apparently used to- it had possibly been remodeled. The stalls were a gunmetal gray. I walked into one of the middle stalls, undid my fly and sat down on the toilet to take care of my business. A couple minutes later I suppose, somebody enters the stall to my right. I look down to see a pair of black, gray, and yellow Adidas running shoes, all ragged and worn. I get all excited, because I know who that is. That's my best friend Robert. He must have realized that he was next to me as well, for when I threw a wad of toilet paper into his stall from underneath, I promptly received one in return. I duck my head under the partition between us, and am amused to find him doing the same, both of us leaning off the toilet to talk to each other."Eww, it's that guy," I say, grinning at him with one hand shielding my junk from his view, just in case he was trying to get a peek- yet, I was looking for his. "Thought those troll feet were yours," he says, and we both retract our heads back into our respective stalls to finish up our business. A little while later, while we are both still sitting on the toilet, I hear him say "We've gotta do this more often." Then later, I'm in a public bathroom again, and my dad is in the neighboring stall. While sitting there, I proceed to tell him all about the meeting with Robert earlier in the bathroom.

I apparently always go lucid when Im driving. Anyways I dont remember much at all about my dreams last night except when I went lucid. I was driving my car and I just knew it was a dream, I didn't do a reality check or anything I just realized I was dreaming. I rubbed my hands together so I wouldnt wake up and I tried driving around for a bit but it didn't last long and I woke up. Thats pretty much all I remember I only have this one other fragment of playing this game where I had to pour this liquid in little grooves on a board. I let it drip and the girl next to me told me I lost cause if it drips then you lose.
We were at grandma's house. My older son had not read all the library books at her house yet. We packed a few chosen ones but then I had to order them so we could return them before flying back to our home.
Oct 31 2013 - 2310 to 0500 0500 - In drafting or some other classroom, Ms. A (who normally teaches Spanish in a totally different classroom) asks "who has a random generator" or something regarding our projects. She had written down our names in random order in a list. I sat at a desk that wasn't my usual seat because I wanted to finish up a part of my project. I assumed that she asked because she was going to pick a random person to present first.
10/30/13 Down With the Sickness I am somewhere strange. I am still rather drowsy as if I am just waking up from some kind of a drug induced sleep. I also realize I am standing upright, which is odd considering I feel like I am waking up from a deep sleep. As I become more aware I realize I have my hands up above me. I look up and see they are chained. I am chained to a wall. I also have chains on my feet. I focus on forming Witchblade to cut through the chains but nothing happens. I try to use the Harry Potter spell alohamora on the lock on the chains but that doesn't work, either. Something is wrong with my powers. I am sure this has to be a dream, but nothing is working. I look around the room and I see there are numerous Templars watching me closely, perhaps warily as if they aren't sure if I will have my powers or not. One of them seems to be the leader and he acts more confident than the others. He said I will now realize all my dream powers are neutralized. I am not so sure of that. The Templar says now I have no choice but to hear him out without attacking them. I pull on the chains a bit. I feel increased strength in my body, and it feels like the chains are about to give way. I am sure it is the Mercer Virus inside my dream body… it is still active. The Templars either can't or didn't neutralize that. But I am wondering what this Templar has to say, so I stop pulling and make it look like I was unable to get free. I tell the Templar that if he wanted to talk all he had to do was ask. He says he tried that last time, but Nomad and I attacked them on sight. That was not going to happen again. I tell him to go ahead and say what he's going to say. He says there is an enemy coming that threatens both Templars and Assassins. A force from another world, more powerful than anything the Templars have witnessed before. He says only if the Assassins and Templars cooperate do we have a chance of surviving the upcoming disaster. So I ask him what he is proposing. He says they need the devices back that we have stolen from them. I ask if he means the devices they'd intended to use to influence the dreams of people on Earth… he says yes, but they won't be directed at Earth… they would be directed at the approaching invaders. Perhaps to use the controls to make some of the enemy's minions turn on him. He says the Templars have developed a weapon that works well on the type of enemy that is coming, and they will share that weapon with the Assassins… consider it an exchange. I ask how I'm supposed to know if he's telling the truth. He says this is far too important to lie about. I ask him if it is really so important that he would risk his life to come here. He says he is not risking anything, but yes, it is important enough that he would die to ensure it is prevented. He says he needs to have the devices in his hands before he can let me go, so tell him where they are. I tell him I would have to go get them, there's no way my allies are going to turn the devices over to a bunch of Templars. I add that it's not like he could keep me from leaving if I want to. He laughs and says all of my powers are neutralized, so I'm not going anywhere. I tell him he has forgotten one thing… I am infected with the Mercer Virus. I pull on the chains again and they snap as if they are made of cardboard. The head Templar takes a couple steps backwards as I transform my right arm into a blade. I tell them all to stay back if they don't want to be sliced in two. Only one of them has to die here to prove their cause. I move towards the head Templar and he orders the others to kill me. They all move in around me, but I am too fast. I grab the head Templar with my right hand and consume him before the others can get there. I get the information I wanted from him. The other Templars are already attacking. I slice through the first two Templars coming in, feel my blade, you lying bitches! My blade cuts right through their shields and armor and swords. It is a very bloody scene as I cut down all of my attackers. I then turn my attention to the memories I got from the head Templar. There is an evil entity that was going to be coming, but it was the Templars that were bringing it. A demon. They wanted to get the devices back and then set the demon to fight the Assassins for them. What a bunch of assholes! Of course now that their plans have been revealed there is no real reason to continue with summoning the demon. I wonder if they will still do so out of spite… and will the demon really cooperate with them. Maybe the demon will destroy the Templars for us! Or at least keep them occupied for quite some time. I form my bloody blade back into my arm and walk across the room which has been painted red with Templar blood. It seems that I probably should find the blood and the strewn bodies to be disgusting… but it doesn't bother me at all. I laugh at the foolishness of the Templars as I wake up.
10/30/13 Puppet Master I am in a dungeon of some kind. I am making my way through passages and tunnels of stone. I am thinking of it like a dungeon from one of the Legend of Zelda games. I see I am there with Link. We continue into a larger chamber where we are immediately attacked by some strange creatures. They look sort of like spiders, but they only have four legs. They kind of jump around the room. They are all about the size of wolves. They come at us as soon as we enter the room. Link starts fending them off with his sword and shield but he seems to be holding back. He says he doesn't want to kill them if he can avoid it because they aren't acting of their own free will. He says normally they are quite peaceful. I think stunning them would be a good plan. I use the song spell Battery by Metallica to summon some lightning, but I focus to keep it at a lower power. Sparks fly through the room and knock the strange creatures unconscious. Link checks on one of them to be sure it is alive. He nods at me and starts to continue to the next passage. I tell him to wait, I will charge his shield with electricity so he can knock enemies unconscious with it. I do that using Battery by Metallica again. We encounter a few more of the strange creatures in the hallway but Link knocks them unconscious with his electrified shield. We enter a large cavern now. It extends to unknown depths below us. I look down into the blackness and it looks bottomless. There is a winding path that leads across the room. The ceiling is far above us, almost hidden in the darkness. Fires around the edge of the chamber keep the chamber lit. I briefly wonder how anyone got to those torches to keep them lit but I don't spend much time on that before I see something on the other side of the room. It looks like a huge and creepy doll of some kind. It looks like one of those evil clowns like Pennywise from the book It or something similar. The clown doll is alive, and it is holding puppet strings that are hanging down into the darkness below. Even though they don't appear to be connected to anything I figure those are what the thing is using to control the strange creatures in the dungeon and who knows what else it is controlling. There are armed guards standing along the narrow passage, blocking the way. Link says they are acting of their own free will… he knows that because they were enemies before the Puppet Master showed up. So we make our way along the narrow path. One of the guards lunges at me. I time it just right to grab hold of him and push him off the edge of the pathway into the darkness below. Link shoves another one off with his shield. I actually jump over Link and grab the next guard before he can react and I push him off of the passage as well. The Puppet Master is getting angry, saying he has to do everything himself. But he doesn't do it himself. Instead he summons forth a lot of strange creatures. Many of them are like the ones in the passages, others look sort of like ewoks with white fur. Link says they are being controlled by the Puppet Master… but how do we set them free? I tell him I am sure all we have to do is cut the Puppet Master's strings. He looks past the army arrayed against us and at the strings hanging from the creepy clown doll. He sarcastically asks if that is all we have to do… clearly he doesn't think it will be that easy. How do we get past the guards without killing them? They are all innocent. I am thinking of Prototype, so I use moves from Prototype. I jump. But I don't just jump, I crouch and charge up a large jump. I then glide right over the Puppet Master's pawns. I form my right arm into a blade and slice through all the strings on the one side. Link is just staring at me now as if he can't believe what I just did. The Puppet Master screams in rage and about half of the army blocking Link just looks disoriented. Before he can attack me I do another charged jump and cut through the strings on the other side. Now all of his slaves are disoriented and none of them interfere with Link as he passes through them. Link says the only way to kill the Puppet Master is to destroy the gem on his forehead. I look up and see there is a red gem there that is glowing. Link says only the sword of light can do it. I have my doubts that the gem can hold up to my Prototype sword, but I decide to play along. I take hold of Link and charge a jump, getting us out of the way just before one of the clown's huge hands crashes down in an attempt to crush us. When we are high enough Link jumps off of me and drives his sword into the red gem. Red sparks fly and the gem shatters. The Puppet Master collapses to the ground with Link still standing on top. The former slaves of the Puppet Master are still a bit disoriented, but they seem to be regaining their senses. The spider creatures are dispersing. Some of the white ewoks are coming towards Link and me. They are talking to us. One of them says he does not know how to thank us for freeing them from the Puppet Master's control. Link isn't listening to them. He asks how I did that. I ask what he is talking about as I transform my blade back into a human arm. He points at me and says that. I tell him it's a long story and I'm sure I don't have time to tell it. I am right about that, and Link has barely begun to ask me more questions when I wake up.
The dream began at the front entrance of a grocery store, one where I have been to before but I cannot recall its name. Me, my mother, and my five year old niece walked in to the store and were heading towards the frozen foods section in the back. I then began to recognize the sad, friendly atmosphere of this place when I saw the crates of boxes, forklifts, and bright white lights around this big factory. I saw several people and families walking around the store and going on about their business, or at least that's what I thought. I paid more attention to the people walking to or standing around the check out lanes. When we finally got to the frozen foods section, my mother decided that it'd be a good idea if I took my niece towards the children's play area located right next to the frozen foods. And so I grab my little niece's hand and walk her there. When we finally got there I noticed something strange about my niece. I slowly let go of her hand and saw a smile pass by her face. She usually has tantrums when she sees something appealing to her. This could probably be one of the reason I woke up after this moment.
