I float up out of my bed, and transform into Ganesh. Six arms grow out of my sides, and my face becomes lion and elephant as I grow a mane. I trumpet and roar. All the demons surrounding my bed bow to me. My fur turns panther black, and my eyes turn red. The demons toss plumeria flowers, the flowers of the dead, to me.
I float outside to the door, where my spaceship, Future’s Hope is waiting for me. My glistening silvery ship. I step in, and the AI is playing some epic rock... Something like Pyramid Song from Radiohead. No, this is the song.
DJ Hope, the AI of my ship asks me where I’d like to go tonight. I sit down in the pilot’s seat, and place large goggles over my face. I feel part of my energy split off... My astral body separates from my dream body, and ....

Astral Plane
My astral body floats through the side of the ship. I become aware of astral demons around me. They look like metal androids with many bladed arms. I mindfuck them, and bend them to my will. Now, you are my bodyguards, boys. Form a phalanx!
The scene changes. There is a house in front of me with reddish purple paint with white trim.
“Someone in here wants a nightmare,” I smile to the demons. They nod. There are angels in the area, looking suspiciously at the demons. I communicate with the head angel telepathically. He scans me to decipher what kind of being I am. “A dreamer? Just what kind of human are you?”
“I am a dreamer, dear, but I am not human.” The angel nods, and lets me pass, giving me a scrutinizing gaze. I just smirk as I morph into a shadowy thing. I crouch at the foot of the bed. “Wake up... wake up... heh hehe...”
For some reason, he is asleep. Ah, he is dreaming, and I am calling him to the astral plane. No matter, this is also a dream. I rumble like distant thunder. The young man stirs and sits up in bed, stretching. I slowly rise. He looks at me, and freezes. His mouth moves silently.
“Speak, boy,” I rumble.
“Who... what... are you?”
“I’m from the Moon! And you are dreaming!”
“No I am not! You are a demon! or a ghost? This is real!”
“No, you are in the astral plane, see.... uh...”
“Nomad?”
“Yes! I mean no!” I roar again, and the young man turns and creates a portal with his third eye. He doesn’t realize he did it. He turns to me, then turns back to the portal. Something like a tentacle or rope comes out of it, and he grabs on.
“This dream sucks! I’m out!” The thing pulls him into the portal and it closes. I walk back outside, and the angel rolls his eyes.
One of the astral demons says, “how’d it go?”
I smack him, and he flies across the yard into a tree.
“Now I am going to the Moon, bitches! Oh wait... I feel more nightmares are wanted. Hmm... First, I need to set up my dream running portals.... Yes, Sarnox will want to come, Jo, and Koomo... guess he’s busy on his home planet.”

I portal to the Moon, and join my dream body.

Dream Plane Dream
Alright, baby, Take me to the MOON!”
“Yes Master.”
“I love it when you say that.”
“Ugh, you have such a big ego.” I feel my ship roll her eyes.

We fly to the Temple of Nothing in the City of Nowhere in the Land of Nod on the Green Moon. She alights on the landing pad. There are two jaguars, a light one and a dark one, portrayed doing battle on the landing pad. Guargawn, my stand-in when I get bored of being a god, greets me, along with Sarnox, my Druid High Priest. “Wassup, god, wassup dog!”
We laugh and catch up on events.
“Well, the life here has gone completely apeshit, growing everywhere... remember that Juan guy with is sentient plants. Well, these creatures worship me now. I am trying to help them evolve to a level where they quit worshiping me. Let me show you my lab.”
We walk into the temple and into a room that Guargawn built. He has different plants in enclosures for study. “Hm, you should meet Washu and Janet.”
“Oh, we have been working together on this project. Who else is going to study dream flora and fauna? You? You bilocate too much, plus you remember only 2 to 5% of your dreams on a good night.”
“Really?”
“Most people it’s less than that. Anyway, we’ll come back to these later. I sense you have a lot on your agenda for tonight.”
“Some dream running, and some rock and roll.”
“Shit! Look at you!” Guargawn reaches into my dream body and pulls out a pink parasite. “Goddammit, Nomad!” he says, squashing it. “How the hell are you Juargawn, Lord of Nothing, when you can’t even control parasites?”
“Well my silver centipedes...”
“Fuck you silver centipedes, nigga! Some woman put a hook in you. Seal the wound. Pay attention! Look!”
I see a strange hole in my dream body which I cauterize with violet flame.
“Yeah, and I got sick in Wakeworld from those damn bugs.”
“And it’s not the first time.”
“You are right, brother.”
“Keep your shields up. We are being attacked on all fronts by all manner of creatures. You think sentient creatures are the only threat? Yet microscopic mindless creatures slaughter us relentlessly.”
I nod. I walk slowly out to the landing pad. I am amazed at the view. I sit down, and meditate. I realize that I am now a rakshasa, a lion-man. I form a golden aura around me, and seal it with blue light. I create colored orbs to move through my dream body, and cleanse myself. I sense Raven needs my help in the Healing Glen. I portal to her.
She is just waking up in the Glen. We are suddenly under attack by silvery flying disks. They are shooting orange lasers at us. One hits me, and burns a hole in my side. I ignore it, and heal the wound. The Frost Giant appears, and forms an energy shield dome over us. He hits an unseen button on an unseen belt, and armor comes out of nowhere and attaches to him.
“I thought this was sacred ground!”
“It is,” says the Frost Giant. “But, they don’t give a shit.”
Raven stand up, and changes.... She becomes taller, and her face changes shape, elongating to look like an elf or a female Grey. She is wearing a long black dress, and has two white horns spiraling to the sky. She grows to the size of a skyscraper. “I am Raven White, Queen of the Moon, and you have profaned this Hallowed Ground. I channel power you know not of!”
Raven begins to glow brighter and brighter, and I feel something like a tiny sun in the core of her being. The alien ships swarm around her. She laughs and bats them away. She roars, and pure white light beams shoot out of her body, vaporizing all the ships around her. The Frost Giant is running across the landscape, grabbing ships out of the sky, and smashing them in his palms. Joseph has multiplied himself into an army of giant eagles. He smashes the ships in his talons, and rips the aliens from their ships. They look like... children?
“Gah!”
For a second, even the Frost Giant is deceived.
“All illusion! Illusion of Nevergawn!”
I smack my head, trying to get my True Sight Ocular Implants to work... Just had to turn them on. I whip out my didjeridoo, and send out a frequency to destroy the transmission of the child holograms from their hologram projectors. I see they are not aliens, but Moon Orcs riding around on strange dog-pterodactyl creatures. Suddenly we are in the Danger Room.
“Guardians: ONE! Moon Orcs: ZERO!”
Raven takes off a VR helmet along with MoSh, Joseph, and I.
“MoSh, you were the Frost Giant?”
“You asked me to, don’t you remember, Nomad?” he smiles at me flirtatiously. I feel uncomfortable for the first time in this dream. “Hey, let’s have a drink.’
“Okay...”
We walk into a casino, the three of us. Raven surveys the scene casually. We sit at the bar, and are served strange drinks with things moving in them. “He doesn’t remember,” Raven says.
“We are all lovers, or were, at one time,” MoSh smiles at me.
“Uh... I feel weird.”
“Just drink.”
I drink, and memories come flooding back to me, but these are not my memories, these are the memories of a different Nomad, from a different universe.
“Okay... so, I and Raven are together, and you and Raven are together, but you and I used to be together?”
“Yes,” says MoSh.
“Oh, gross!”
He rolls his eyes. “Parallel universe, hello?”
“Right. But, what happened to the other Nomad?”
“He’s dead,” Raven White says flatly.
“So, you can keep dreaming with him, right?”
She looks at me and laughs. “This is no dream, baby. You’re in Wakeworld.”
“HOLY SHIT!”
I am so shocked by this, I wake up. I am in my bedchambers in my temple on the Moon. I am sleeping with three women in my bed. I float up so as not to disturb them, and stretch. I walk out to the landing pad. Selene joins me. I feel her caress on my arm.
“Baby, is this real?”
“This is real, this is dream. We are on the dream plane.”
“Are we in a simulation?”
“No.”
“Good.”
I turn to her, and look into her eyes, her beautiful dark dark eyes, dark as night. I realize she is an alien, and so am I.... We all are, and I am okay with that. We kiss. I feel like we haven’t kissed for years. Maybe it has been years on the Dream Plane?
“Selene, I want to know what happened when you were kidnaped.”
“I wanted to see what would happen if I let them kidnap me.”
“Why did you do that?”
“I was curious to the depths of their evil?”
“What happened?”
“They tried to rape me.”
“What did you do?”
“I dream-killed them.”
“Good. Why didn’t you tell me you were going to do this?”
“You wouldn’t have let me go.”
“True.”
I walk around in a circle on all fours, and fall asleep, with Selene leaning on me.

***

I am back in the Fucking Concrete Underground Future, and my life is Hell. I am on the astral plane, and I am in the room where my Physical Body, my Real Body is. I see my lion-goat-centaur body twitch in the fluid in the cylinder. An alarm goes off.
“Shit he’s waking up! FUCK FUCK FUCK! Send him some sedatives! Slowly...”
I hear a scientist say. Maybe I should not be here. If I wake up here... I am dead in the past. I begin to float out of the room, when I am jerked into my Real Body. I feel like I am going to suffocate. What the hell is going on? I can breathe! I am blind. I see colored lights in front of my eyes. FUCK THIS MASK. Who is trying to brainwash me? I rip the mask off, and see a bunch of scientists running around through green fluid. One of them with a turkey like head turns to me, and we make eye contact. I scream into the air piece. I feel a strange calm as the drugs take effect. I float out of my Real Body, and back to the floor. One of the psychic scientists looks at me. “It’s not a good idea for you to be here, friend,” he says to me warmly. I nod, and create a portal back to the Moon.

***
I wake up in the Healing Glen. MoSh is there. “Let’s rock!” he says.

“Doh! I am about to wake up. Next dream!” I say.
He nods, and everything fades to white.

I was watching a movie of a couple kissing in bed. It made me want to do it.

ACK.[I]

I had a very long dream last night where I kept fading out of lucidity, and regaining it. Oh, wait, I am still dreaming.

But, I can't remember my dreams!

Oh, the other night... here's a frag:[/I]

I am in a very realistic old worn out looking government building. A man is talking to me sitting in a chair in a hallway. He nonchalantly rubs an erection in his pants. I leave.

I am chilling with MoSh in his Inner World house... or is it? I feel like we are somewhere else, though everything looks the same. We play a computer gambling game. We start to win, and get sucked into a casino.

We win a bunch of tokens on a slot machine, and dinosaur bouncers say we are cheating. They say, “YOU CAN’T GAME THE MATRIX, BITCHES.”

I say, “Fuck you. This is my dream.” I slam my fist into the bouncer’s chest. OW! He laughs.

He grabs me, but, I squirm away. “Dude, grab the dough!” I shout at MoSh. He grabs the tokens which turn into some raw dough. I am confused. We run down a hall and down some stairs. MoSh says the dough is heavy and hands me half. I trip, and scrape my body on grip tape at the bottom of the stairs. I try to use the dough to cushion my fall. I slide across the grip tape, getting severe abrasions.

I say, “This is a dream!” and I turn and face our attackers. MoSh is next to me. He’s a growling wolfcat thing. We are both Shadow Beast Selves. The dinosaur bouncers come barrelling down the stairs at us. They are consumed with dark energy. As they charge us, we sidestep them, and they smash themselves into a wall. We grab them by their tails, and spin them around, then cast them into portals.

We are tired and hungry.

“Dude, I could use a beer.”

“Me too. Nexus?”

“Sounds good.”

MoSh and I get in my spaceship to Club Nexus and have a couple beers. Some weird alien chicks hit on us. MoSh makes out with a hot catwoman with white fur and red stripes.

[IMG]http://media.dandwiki.com/w/images/thumb/c/ce/Rakshasa_Noble.png/360px-Rakshasa_Noble.png[/IMG]

I am Juargawn, god of Nothing, a great rakshasa, a lion man, with light tiger stripes atop the Temple of Nothing, in the City of Nowhere in the Land of Aud on the muthafukkin Green Moon.
[IMG]http://www.crystalinks.com/aztecpyr.jpg[/IMG]

I survey the scene. I am above the jungle canopy. Flying cars float by. Birds swim on currents of nothing. An iridescent blue and black butterfly alights on my wrist. I look at the butterfly, and I can see its tiny tongue curled and its many eyes. It flits away. A breeze makes patterns in my fur, and I can see the individual hairs. The sun begins to set, and the sky turns pink and orange. I inhale deeply nothing-air.

Sarnox, my spectral flaming wraith High Priest joins me on the landing pad. We are standing on a picture of Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl battling eternally.

“Everything looks so fucking real, dog.”

“I know. It’s amazing.”

“This is real, isn’t it Sarnox?”

“Yes.”

I feel like crying, screaming, and laughing all at the same time. Instead, I just kneel and place my lion chin in my palm. I see I have dreadlocks now. I chuckle to myself.

A tiny man on a tiny hover vehicle, the size of a dragonfly, rides to me, and hands me a message in the form of a tiny envelope. I touch it, and it becomes a hologram of Raven. “Um, Nomad? Aren’t we going to the pirate ship?”

“Oh, shit! I forgot.” I turn, and enter the temple. A purple and black cape grows out from my neck. A silly purple and black top hat appears on my head, and I have a funny dancing cane. The hat becomes a great hood, and the cane becomes gnarled and twisted black wood. My eyes glow violet, and lightning flashes across my face as I stride toward The Mirror. I wave my staff across it, and it ripples like mercury. A scene of Raven planting flowers appears. She looks up at me, squints, and waves. I step through the mirror.

I go through a silvery wormhole going through the center of the Moon, and a beautiful silver and white wormhole Wyrm, grins at me as I bodysurf by.

I land next to Raven, on the Moon. My friend, Keiko, well, love interest, is somehow now there with me. She’s wearing a white robe, and holding a white staff with a caduceus at the top. I introduce her to Raven. Selene appears, and kisses Keiko on the cheek. Raven opens a portal to the Black Pearl.

We step in. In the wormhole we have an epic flash battle with a black dragon fighting the wormhole worm.

We are on a ghost ship in a dense fog. The sea is completely still. There are some nasty little bat things gnawing at us, which we toss into the portal. We instantly do healing on ourselves. The ghosts are everywhere. I scan Keiko. She seems right at home. Jack Sparrow steps out from among them. A green mist rises from his skin.

[IMG]http://img1.eyefetch.com/p/w3/977811-a500320d-f053-4044-ab31-e05c63c0c65dl.jpg[/IMG]

“Well, hello there, strange people things.... Ah, I know you!” He walks to Raven, and makes out with her. I laugh.

“Let us to the treasure! I mean, lead us to the treasure!” Jack Sparrow proclaims loudly.

“Who are you talking to?” I ask.

“Uh... me? Me. No, wait, aha, hear it is! My little treasure fairy...” He pulls Tinkerbell out of his breast pocket. She flies around and kisses all of us on the cheek. We dive into the green sea. “At this point, it would be good time to have gills and tentacles... or fins!”

I grow gills, tentacles, and fins. We follow Tinkerbell into the depths. There is a strange silver disk at the bottom of the sea. It looks like it just crashed into the seafloor! Is it an alien ship? There is a hologram of a ghostly pirate ship on it. I see the hologram projector is not working too well as the hologram is flickering. We swim down to the hull, and it opens.

A strange purple alien is dying... This sounds like... wait, I already have a Green Lantern Ring...

The alien speaks, and I feel it’s voice reverberate in my chest. “I am dying,” the Babelfish translates. “... being pursued by ones who want my treasure... what they do not understand is... *cough* they already have it... and so do you... you have everything to give, and everything to receive...”

The alien puts her hands over her heart, and pure love energy pours into them in a tiny colored orb. She opens her hands to us, and she exhales her last strange watery breath. The orb expands growing until it engulfs us. My third eye spins, and my entire being is flooded with light. All my chakras spin. I grab on to the hands of two people next to me. The five of us, Raven, Jack, Selene, Keiko, and myself are in a circle, spinning. I feel the orb explode. We are five Love Gods in a World of Light.

Suddenly we are back in the sea. Our eyes are glowing gold. “The greatest treasure in the world: The Fifth Element,” Jack whispers.


We fly through the water up to the surface. We hover in the sky and turn the clouds into a storm. It rains violently, and disappears. A cool wind blows, and we add our breath to it, sending the ghosts to rest in peace.

I open a portal to the Green Moon.

“Where are you going, friend?” Jack asks.

“Home, brother, care to join us?”

He grins and swaggers to the portal, stepping through first. We go through, and end up on top of The Tower. Wait... The Black Tower... And there is a Green and White Tower on the edge of the Sea... Two Towers?

The old Biodome wall is overgrown with green, but the energy dome can still be vaguely seen. “All systems normal, Biodome is now complete. Hidden fortress in the forest, as you requested sir,” I hear Stephanie, the Biodome AI say. We overlook a lush paradise. Colorful birds float by, smiling at us. People are singing in a valley below.

“This!” Jack shouts, surveying the scene, “This is lovely!” We walk through New Eden. As we walk past the Mirror by the Koi Pond, there is a scene of the sun rising. “What’s this?” Jack asks, and steps through. We are on the Mountain now, in a field of wildflowers among a few great pines. The air is fresh and clean. We look out over the ocean, and the sky grows light as the sun rises over the sea on the Green Moon. In the presence of the overwhelming beauty, all we can do is watch in silence.

The sun rises, and warms our skin.

“I am going back to my Other Life, soon, friends.” I give everyone a hug goodbye. “We are all real, aren’t we, Jack?” I ask him.

‘Of course,” he says, lightly slapping my face. I growl. He growls back like a dog, and barks at me. I laugh and the dream fades to black.

Raven and I come tumbling out of portals into the Biodome. We collapse on the grass in exhaustion. I feel someone carrying me. I am semiconscious.

Angels carry us through a wormhole to their temple. They take us to a special healing chamber. They place energy shields over us, then flood the shields with healing light.

I feel asleep, yet awake.

We awake hours later. They give us a tour of the temple. They use energy technology. They don't call it magic. Everything is amazingly deliberately beautiful. All the buildings and plants are arranged in a way that looks natural as if the building just grew out of the ground. They remind me of the buildings of the Protoss.

Every time I touch something, it charges me with energy. Wow.

[I]In Waking Life, my dead didjeridoo master just died. His best friend gave me one of his prized didjeridoos which I have named Psyborg, for it is a badass aluminum fiberglass composite. The staff of the dead master is given to the apprentice by the master's brother. Now, here is my dream:[/I]

I am sleeping next to K. I fall asleep and begin to dream. I am at an outdoor party. I see Kai leaning against a bar with his shirt off. He has not tattoos or scar on his chest. He's wearing bell bottom jeans and looks completely fucking real. He grins at me mischeviously.

I wonder if it's a dream. How can it be? Kai, look at him grinning at you, man. He looks completely fucking real! It's not a dream. Yes it is.

I wake up. I am lying in bed next to K. I tell her about the dream. Wait, this is still a dream. What the fuck?

I wake up.

Nomad surveys the carnage below. From his position atop the crumbling heap of concrete rubble, the human running about look like an angry ants nest. His minotaur eyes glow red. He bounds down the was-building, down the mountain to the remains of the battle. Leaping into the center of the fray, he roars in exultation and rage. The battle freezes, and soldiers on both sides flee in sheer terror before the monster.
Nomad laughs and dances gaily before the warriors, tossing lovely bouquets into the air.

dream shift

I am being tortured. Fuck. I hate this dream. I feel no pain. It’s Vegeta. Fucker. He stretches a rubber glove over his hand and snaps it. This is a dream. He looks fucking real. He’s powerful as a supernova, and this foul entity is going to torture for... TRAINING! Vegeta madly laughs. Shit. He’s psycho. He’s going to eat my soul and shit me into a thousand pieces. His fingers unfold in dozens of tiny blades, slicing through the gloves. The blades keep unfolding, getting smaller and smaller, like fractals. I am being sucked into a weird world full of razors slicing my fucking mind. FUCK THIS DREAM. WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE THE FUCK UP, NOMAD. FUCK. I wake up. I am strapped to a table, mostly vertical. I am in a torture chamber. Vegeta is a Spanish Priest. I am a voluptuous woman. I feel weak an vulnerable. He looks and me lasciviously. I feel like vomiting. He saunters over to me efemminately. “VoX,” he calls me. “VoX, this is your mother, wake up.”

I wake up.

I am a sixteen year old girl, living in Tucson, in my old house. It’s a thousand years in the fucking future. I look in the mirror. I look like a female version of me.

I hear my mothers voice rushing down the hall... but, it’s a totally different mother. “Vox, Vox, you were screaming in your sleep again. Stop that shit. Cut the crap, or you’ll ruin your voice. Take control of your dreams.”

I open my bedroom door. “But, mom,” I whine coquetteishly, “it was for training.”

“Well, apparently you failed the test. Mother sweet has to go to a Function.”

“Okay.” I kiss her on the cheek.

I go into the living room, and turn on the wall screen. I am drawn into a lovely mountainscape... I am flying over everything... like a lucid dream...

LUCID DREAM? LUCID DREAM?

I run to the bathroom, and I look in the mirror. It’s me, but a girl me? I take off my clothes. What the hell do I have boobs? and? Ok, this is weird. I run to my bedroom and lie down.

This is a dream, this is a dream. Go to sleep, wake up in Wakeworld.

I go to sleep... Have some weird dream about psychedelic monsters eating my soul.

I wake up....

Okay, Now I am somewhere... Hawaii... A million years in the future... I am living atop some artificial island on columns built on sunken islands... I am a tall greenish female humanoid. I then realize I have chlorophyl. I am the same girl as before.

Okay, which lifetime am I in?

A man enters the room... my husband. Am I gay? Am I a woman? Am I human? Where is my soul?

“Where is my soul?” I ask him confusedly.

“Probably in your body, but we exist in many dimensions. Maybe in one, I am your stalker trying to kill your, or you are hunting me down to eat me for food, and another we are a plant and fungus in a symbiotic relationship living on a rock in Antarctica.”

“Oh, my god, I feel so strange...”

“It’s the drug, don’t you remember?”

He shows me a pile of colorful mushrooms.

“Oh, yes.”

“Look in the mirror, it will make you trip harder.”

“Ok. Just don’t get lost in the mirror. I am going to turn this song on. When it ends, when the say, ‘the dogs fly on Nunday,’ step out of the mirror.”

“Ok, honey.”

I stare into the mirror. I look very... amphibian. I then realize I am part plant, and we have gone back to the water. I am okay with this. I have a vague memory of land leftover from my ancestors’ DNA. Now, it’s all in Hollow Earth... but life on the crust.. is not real.. this is all a dream... yet this is all real... life is timeless.

I see a double of myself, but bluish walk in the bathroom with a frying pan, and she smashes me over the head with it.

BAM!

I wake up on the moon. I writhe in the Healing Glen in confusion, and shock. I feel like my soul has slammed into my body, like an OBE ended too abruptly. “RAVEN RAVEN!” I scream. Raven is the only name I can think of at that moment. I scream madly and claw my face. The Glen hums, the trees and grass are healing me. A portal opens, and Raven enters. She is in Queen of Night form.She rips an imp off her shoulder, and tosses it through the portal. Healing energy comes up from the ground, and begins to heal her.

“Nomad, stop being so weak!”

“Huh?” I am shocked out of my madness. I look at Raven. Her face softens, and becomes more as the form I usually see her in.

“I just said that to get your attention. I had to do something unexpected to get you to snap out of it.”

“Let’s just play music. I will play didjeridoo, and you play ocarina. It will be fun,” she laughs playfully. She takes an ocarina off her neck and hands it to me. I hand her one of my didjeridoos. We play music, and colorful healing energy comes out of the ground and trees, and the music... flowing through us. I cannot describe well the serene beauty of the moment.

I see myself on a beautiful bright green hill near a rocky mountain. I am sitting at a desk, writing with a quill.

I fly into my body. I am now using a touch pad and a stylus.

I write thusly:

Dream Dreamviews,
If I should die before I wake, whatever. I have thee soul, my own soul to take. I would now like to eat some cake.
Love,
Nomad

I throw it in the air, and blast it with a rifle.

I fall asleep in the chair for a second, and it breaks. Raven appears.

Nomad? What are you doing?

I was trying to be immortal, but apparently, I already am.

I look in the mirror, a bathroom mirror, but I see myself in full view... More like I am looking through a window. I see many Arabian tents. I step out wearing a vest and loose flowy pants. I have a top ponytail, and my face looks vaguely orc-ish.

[I]This was a semi-lucid dreamlet. When I woke, I realized it was a dream about Burning Man.[/I]

[I]I watched a video of Willow Chang dancing. I passed out in my chair, and had this nap dream.[/I]

We are dining together at an expensive restaurant. I answer my cel phone, though I don't really want to take the call.

She reaches over and slowly closes the phone.

"Be here with me right now, Nate," she smiles at me. I shrug sheepishly and smile in agreement. Why does my neck hurt?

Dammit. Physical world. Wake up, move your neck.... End dream.

[I]I wake up, and realize I passed out in my chair at home. It takes me a second to realize where the fuck I am.[/I]

[video]http://www.youtube.com/user/misswillowchang?feature=chclk[/video]

I leap out of bed.

[IMG]http://www.infinite-interactive.com/images/pq2/pq2_enemy_rakshasa.jpg[/IMG]

There is an ancient Aztec City before me, and I am its god. This is Nowhere, in the land of fucking Nod.

It is bright day. I am surrounded by strange feathered demons. I shoot fiery knives from my hands at them in a circle, roaring. I run through dreams.

Everything is bright and vivid. I leap upon demons, ripping their heads off, and feeding them to my symbiote.

I turn into Superman, and save little children from nightmares.

I wake up laughing... in the Biodome.

[I]MoSh says I got worn out from astral journeys after I told him my aura got shredded. We make plans to go into Neverwonderhell, my Inner World. I tell him there is a war there, an Angel is attacking me.[/I]

HH

I make a merkabah out of my third eye as I fall asleep. I run multiple merkabahs through my body. After my dream body is cleansed, I expand it to encapsulate me.

I slip into dreams...

Red eyes... starry sky... a minotaur's face.

Everything goes in cycles. I am in outer space. Joseph is next to me. He shapeshifts into a zombie, Vegeta, then a great eagle. He winks at me. We go to the Moon. We meet Raven and MoSh in the Biodome. Little gnome squires are helping them gear up. Raven is a blue and gold paladin, an MoSh is a black and silver one. Their armor is spiky and curvy. I see magic flashing over it.

We go to my Inner World. The war is just training, me training myself. Angel is just sitting on a hill watching. She smiles at me.

"My dream self, me, I still like you."

"You don't hate me?"

"No, of course not. I don't know you well enough yet to be able to hate you. I am connecting the present with the pain of the past. The past is always the present for me. My perception is altered."

I see MoSh grab the hilt of his sword. Angel twitches and becomes a harpy.

"Shit! She's a Nightstalker!" shouts Joseph.

MoSh and I are in the Water Labyrinthe inside the Crust between the Surface and Hollow Earth.

I start freaking out. I feel claustraphobic. We are in a great spacious lit underwater cavern. We can breathe water or nothing. Still, I fear. MoSh tells me to calm down. I scream at him, and the dream vibrates... or am I becoming... non...

you're in FEARWORLD NOW BITCH.

I am in some level of hell ruled by fear. There is chaos everywhere... its nightmares of people running in fear from all sorts of things... a shared nightmare. GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE. I see Xaphor open a portal and I jump through to the Moon. I rip off a large slimy parasite from my back. Stephanie appears and spears the parasite. Washu and Janet say the want to study it. Stephanie drops it on the ground and walks away.

I knock on the door to my old house in Mass...

MoSh answers.

I haven't been here for awhile.

We go under his house to the Caverns...

We are in the Labyrinthe, the GREAT FUCKING LABYRINTHE in the Rind of the Earth... It is a world between worlds, between The Crust and Hollow Earth...

This is the physical manifestation of the Astral Plane.

We wander for miles through caves. Strange creatures greet us along the way. We lick glowing moss off the walls.

Maybe we shouldn't have done that. WE CAN SEE IN THE DARK. We watch the world through energy eyes.

The tunnel ends in a claustraphobic dead end with water... a puddle, no we can swim. MoSh and I dive in. We are upside down now, in another world... Affected now more by the gravity of the Black Sun.
