non-lucid

This dream appeared to be a compilation of random memories. Yet, it seemed to fit together well.

At a hotel, the scene appeared rather sepia. I was standing atop something, dropping aerodynamic paper helicopters as part of some experiement.

Later, I was applying bug spray to myself, at a cave park that I previously visited in Eastern Ontario. The spray then became lotion, and it smelled of DEET, mixed with mint, which someone noticed. Perhaps the smell was another facade.

Soon, the scene merged somehow smoothly so that I was at my computer screen, which had an odd colour, resembling jelly in another facade. I soon wake up to the sound of my 8:15 alarm.

I get up, and turn off the alarm, heading back to sleep on this early morning day. A notable lack of woman, my dream had.

After some dream, I wake up - this would have been a WILD if not for the dream in between. At my cupboard of computer stuff in my computer bedroom, the digital clock was on the left side, when it was usually on the right. My computer was on the right side rather than the left, and for some reason it had a computer tower at the corner instead of being a rull laptop. I press the button, and turn off the computer. The tables start shaking, but it doesn't seem to be an earthquake.

Suddenly, the digital clock slides off the cupboard, although there seem to be no papers nearby, and falls onto the table below - SPLAT. I then ask my dad what that shaking might be.

Waking up for real again, I notice the shaking comes from a washing machine downstairs. So then, I fall asleep.

Somehow, I am still at my computer, browsing Facebook. A close friend of mine uploaded a song onto my Wall, which had not yet become a Timeline, as requested by January 31. A blurry, beige, bluish sepia scene was the thumbnail music video.

This was apparently a heavy metal rock song, created by my friends' basement band a few days ago. Its title was "i'm not gay". The subtitle: Few talk about the title. Another friend who I recently added and was a guitarist, liked the video.

Surely there would be comments on a video of this sort on a site like youtube, but there were none confronting the title, only one congratulating the uploader. The green like bar reached 1 like on the video itself.

Another friend had posted a status, initials RM, in the ticker tape on the right-top of the screen. His profile picture was someone drumming, but it was actually a close-up of the socks on top of the bass kickpedal, which was weird. Even weirder, the status said: It always rains when I'm looking at the screen.

Even weirder still, I woke up. Looking outside, the roof was white, and it was snowing, not raining, which was a pleasant thing to see.

Logic does not begin or end with fag - logic begins at hello.

Windhover's Dream

dream 1 - I'm Yerin.(due to doodling her last night) I go into a house. I meet a middle-aged man who's going to sleep(wtf?!!?!!) with me. He's really short, maybe below 150cm, his head is bald and he's kinda fat... he's wearing ordinary suit. I'm kinda scared so I think of escaping. When the man is gone, I look inside of the house. I open the door and walk into a hallway. The house is pretty huge. It has wooden walls. I return to where I came and I see my mom. She tries to help me escape... there's a small window high on the wall; mom lifts me up and I open it. I stick my head in but I'm found by that bald man. He says "where do you think you're going?"
He comes inside the house. I gestured him behind my mom that we can't sleep together, how about we just hug? and he gives me a face that he agreeds. He comes closer to me and covers my waist with his hands.(where's my mom?) and he strikes my body.(FFFFFUUUUUUUU-- I got really scared D and then he tries to kiss me. I get really frightened and run away, opening the door......
This was such a disgusting dream.

dream 2 - Maybe scene jumped, or I got outside of the house... There's huge blue-green sea infront of me at the beach. I try to escape from something...maybe still from that bald man. I run into the sea and swim away. Suddenly the wave hits me and I fall backward. I rise up on the surface of water, but then the enormous wave (it was really big, I got scared) falls on my head again. I get sucked in, and float away to the beach. I try to give up escaping.

Dream 3 - I'm snowboarding on sloppy hills. I climb up some kind of tower. When I get to the top, Lain from Serial Experiment Lain is sitting on snow. Suddenly I feel that she's like having a little sister and I want to hang out with her. She says "wanna hang out with me?" so I say "I was going to!" and she smiled. She has a long sled to ride with me. I sit back and she sits in front of me. I push the sled and we slide straight thru very sloppy hill.
Then we see huge sliding are up the hill. I'm kinda semi lucid here. I give Lain a piggy back ride and try to 'fly' up the hill so we can go reach there fast. But it doesn't work. (I can feel Lain's weight) So we just walked over and get on the sled and slide away.....

Dream 4 - I'm in comic class... kids are painting a cover of some kind of picture book. My friend asks me what the character in the picture doing. I look closer to the picture. There are 2 white dogs with black spots doing something...

Dream 5 - FA. I see 5 colorful cereal boxes on a counter in the kitchen. I wash my face in the bathroom...

[B]1.[/B] Potentially at grandmother's home again. Step outside to my out-of-place, previous apartment's balcony and have a seat on the out-of-place futon. A cousin is there. Like me, she's going through a breakup. She's taking it much harder than I am, though. I let her in on my own troubles, which sort of comforts her.

We're drinking tea which later morphs to coffee. Twilight is just setting in and we're looking out to the skies, over a lake that is now there (possibly, can't recall). I thought I caught sight of a plane, but it was a comet. Just as I'm opening my mouth to tell her, I see another! I direct her vision to where I'm looking and I see a handful more that minute. She finally sees a few. I see more and more, all moving toward one spot in space. I'm surprised I could see any, since it's not completely dark outside. I see about 15 in total and think to make a collective wish... but draw a blank.

I turn around to go back inside. Sliding the door open for her, I notice she's on the other side of the railing. She makes her way around to the right side of the balcony. I wonder if she'll jump. Instead, a steel ladder appears and she makes her way down to the basement, coffee cup in hand.

I was at the beach building a snowman. When I was finished all of the snow around it disappeared revealing the sand beneath. The snowman was at least three times my height. Its head was on crooked, so I climbed up and tried to turn it. It only budged a little bit. The snowman already had eyes and a nose. I went to get arms for the snowman farther down the beach. They were huge and made of plastic, and tough to carry, but even though they were heavy I was able to carry both. When I got back there was a group of kids surrounding the snowman. They had attatched ropes to it so that it didn't fall over, kind of like when you pitch a tent. I lifted up the arms and slid them into place, then began putting a rope stake into the sand. The sand was wet so the stake (a red pair of pliers) didn't stay in the ground. As I was doing this the group of kids talked about their sister who was starring in a play. One of them said that their mother didn't want her to be in the play, but I said that was stupid. One of them agreed with me but another one didn't.

Hooch (FRAG)

I dreamed that me and my roomie and a couple of others were in my room (not really my room but it was in my dream). Security came in and told us that they knew that we were making hooch and that whoever gave it to them would have immunity. My roomie got it for them and I got in a lot of trouble.

I've been awake for a few hours now, so I may not remember all the details... but here we go!

First, it was like I was watching a movie. My girlfriend was there, it was sort of a party, but there were some guys with guns who kept shooting people. It was all very "lalala dancing, HA! I SHOT SOMEONE! lalala dancing"... Then, it stopped being a movie and I got to the party. I started dancing with my girlfriend and, as soon as I saw one of those guys, I took my gun and shot him. Yeah, I'm a badass.

After I shot some of the evil guys, we decided to leave the party and get something to eat (killing makes me hungry! Who knew!?). We got to a bakery and it was like they all knew me... almost as if I worked there.

Then, there were some kids running and playing in the rain, my girlfriend and I joined them, but she started just playing with them and I got mad cause she didn't want to play with me. I guess I should mention that I'm a very jealous (and one might even say... needy ) guy...

Hmmm... I think I woke up after that. Then I had another dream, but I can only remember one thing. I was checking a site I post everyday, not unlike DreamViews, but it's about Buffy and there are about 40, 50 of us, so we're a small community. One of the guys was talking about having a lucid dream, he said he had dreamt about the colour purple and that he had been aware of it while he was dreaming. Another guy came up and said something like "You were either just dreaming about purple and now you remember it or you were just thinking about it and you're getting confused about it, thinking that you actually dreamt it. Own the purple!"... it was weird.

Anyway... two days in a row! I might be able to turn this dream journal into a habit!!!

Tied up and Dodging Goo, Blonde DC and me getting cock-blocked... (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

It amazes me how much I remembered this dream...while I was typing, both dreams I recall still had lingering images that helped me remember what was happening...it's like my mind just went to a whole new level with image memory or something that's it's scary at the same time (in a "holy-shit-never-knew-this-was-possible" kind of way).

Dream 1: Goo/Sperm Dodging, Escaping with the embodiment of Batman and Naked Snake

This dream was a bit Western like in the future kind of setting. Apparently me and two DCs had to kill 3 Cowboys who where black outfits to make themselves look like bad-asses.

I think one of the DCs (both were male) was carrying a dog that looked an awful like those fluffy ones. One of us (can't remember clearly) had to tie the dog to the side so it won't escape while we dealt with the 3 villain DCs.

Then when we were ready, we were tied up instead in some random place. But I didn't know I was tied up, the villains were shooting us, but it was bullets, it even looked like blue goo or sperm even.

I failed the first time, so the dream restarts, and then it's back to the same scenario where it's like a flash animation cartoon that you would see on Newgrounds our something ( the bulky black outlines etc.). I think I was "L" from Death Note, and he was naked as well.



The other two DCs who were supposed to fight with me already died at the start from being blasted goo/sperm.

When I realized I was the one tied up (but I'm still seeing things in the villain's perspective; so it's probably me playing it like it's a video game), I dodge left and right from their blasts of goo. The way to dodge them was me realizing that they shoot at the previous location I was in, and to quickly move to the other side.

Then it got a little difficult because they started to anticipate where I was going to go, and some landed on the face of the "L" character I was playing (the control was simple, just move left or right on a 2D game).

After a while, everything just stops and it scans over to a new scene playing where the "L" DC is standing on some circular area that turns into a mini-elevator and sends him back down.

The dream changes again (It doesn't have the cartoon setting anymore, everything feels like reality again) to where it feels like Batman is running away after escaping the villains in the scenario before. But somehow it feels like I'm the one who is him. I'm looking for a way out, and I tried to click "down" on an elevator, but it doesn't work AT ALL.



I'm assuming they started to increase the security by shutting off the main methods of escape. So in my head, I'm wondering what the hell to do. Then I turn around, and go to the room left of me that's open. It looks like a regular bedroom.

I go in and if I do remember correctly, the bedroom had several windows that I could use to escape. The ones of the left looked like they had thick Plexiglass material to it, so I didn't bother trying to break those.



While I'm picking which window to go through, I take quick glances from time to time in that short period of time to see if anyone found where I was. Nobody as yet, so I finally look to my right and see a window that I could turn the knob to open. I open it quickly and slowly descending near the edge of the rooftop.

From here, things got weird. I swore I was wearing Naked Snake's Outfit from MGS3 (when he did the HALO jump). I saw the straps and everything. And because of this, the two little loops near the straps that I put my thumbs on, I knew that if I pull those something would happen to help me float while I go down to the ground.

(The straps on his chest, that's what I mean)

But the environment itself didn't look like an area where villains would have a secret base though. The outside looked like any regular place, it had the setting that it previously rained, I didn't feel the sensation of the weather in the dream, but if it were, it would probably be a little chilly. One thing I noticed was a Tree in front to the right of the house too.


There were a few DCs below me that looked like regular people, and some of them were wondering what the hell I'm doing on top of the side of a rooftop of a house. But I quickly ignored them because I still feel like I'm being chased.

I had two options, jump down and fly and spread the wings in the outfit (in my mind, I'm a mix of Batman and Naked Snake now), or turn my head to the right and try to carefully press my body against to the side of the walls near the rooftop to go down to the ground.

I keep looking left and right, and trying to think of several results if I picked one or the other, and decided to prepare for the first option. I slide my thumbs through the loops that I thought would release a parachute or Batman wings.

(Even though from above, I was at least 20 feet above the ground, which may not be a challenge if I was lucid, but I still had the laws of gravity stuck in my head).

I count to myself to get ready so that I won't fuck up the landing. After the final count, I made a leap of faith and extending the loops with my thumbs in hopes that something will come out of it.

NOPE. Fell straight to ground. Falling and hitting the ground had that rag-doll effect you see in video games. Then the last that I remember of the dream was Batman (or me) standing up perfectly fine.



Dream 2: Blonde DC that was someone that I knew IRL and random DC cock-blocks me.

This dream was a bit funny and again, was another opportunity for me to become lucid, but it just felt so real for the first few moments.

I open my eyes slightly and realize that I'm on the ground. It felt like I got my head hit by a brick when I was slowly trying regain focus.

There's this blonde DC who comes up to me that looks EXACTLY like a blonde that I knew in real life. Let's call her Victoria.

(I had her for Biology in High School, and even though we rarely talked outside of class, we had some funny moments with each other in class. She was so beautiful too sigh..)

Anyway, she comes up to me and I'm still on the ground wondering what the hell is going on. (This dream probably carried on the passed out state when I hit the ground from previous dream).

She crouches down on her feet, and slowly sits by the right side of me. She's smiling and radiating this positive energy towards me. She's asking me if I'm okay in that cute and "awwww look at you, you poor guy" kind of tone.



She starts patting and rubbing my head a little bit. Then she went to get something for me to drink. But before she could, a pack of Sunny D appeared out of nowhere close to us. She gets one from the pack and asks if I need something to drink.




I told her "Oh no no, thank you though." She focuses back on me being on the floor while I'm still feeling a bit hazy. I think she starts massaging me a little bit, and think she asked "Does that feel good?" or something like that.

Things looked like it was going to be mostly cuddling and warmth, but then when she starts talking more, this anime DC that either looks like a mix of Kikyo from Inyuasha or the ghost from To Love Ru is the one getting her breasts groped from the same blonde I believe.



(I'm not sure if it was the blonde doing it, or if a quick video clip of the girl getting her breast groped) because I still heard the blonde's voice.

The dream just ends with the female DC that cock-blocks me while she gets her F-cup sized breasts massaged.

I saw a quick nipple shot, but the hand that appears out of nowhere covers it and moves it around in a circular motion while she's making that weird face with her mouth open like you see when anime girls are nervous or scared.






I hate how I was this close to a blonde, she literally tries to help me out, but she could have at LEAST told me to do a reality check or something! I was so close to this woman that I could've heard her breathing....

So the dream begins when my best friend and I are riding in his jeep along a county road to go up to Mt. Baker. We are talking about a band that we both enjoy and I clearly remember vehicles before and behind us on the road. As we are turning around a slow left bend I seem some small rocks, maybe 2-3 inches in diameter rolling across the road. As I look left I notice a cascade of variously sized rocks and boulders and they slam into the side of the jeep. Some of them shooting through it like projectiles. A smaller rock breaks the lens on my glasses and whips through my head while I remain unharmed. The landslide has pushed the jeep into a ditch, so we open our doors and step out. Looking out at what would have been right of the road we see a medium sized house with a two door garage, one of the doors is up by a couple of feet. We proceed into the garage to look for a phone to call and inform the authorities of the landslide, and we see that the garage is actually a large playroom with various toys scattered about. We hear a male voice behind us say "What are you doing here?" and as we turn we see a middle aged man in a dark shirt holding his daughter. We also see about 8 other children all staring at us. We inform him of the accident and he tells his children to go upstairs. Then the dream ends.

Last night, I went to gym with friend, we ended up with some irish liquor and beers in veins, so we called it night at about 2 a.m. When I went sleeping I almost immidiately started dreaming. Thing was, that it was not a different from regular dream. When I woke myself up because I was thirsty a realised that I had pretty long dreaming state. I almost immidiately fell asleep again, but now I got serious WILD. 1st in my life (That is also the reason why I am typing in Dream Journals). It was one of the most beautiful experiences in my life. Sad part is that I attained lucidity after so much dreams I had that night. It was almost incredible how much stories I went through that night, maybe that all and confusion from all that happening is one of many reasons I attained lucidity.

1st dream - I remember was some kind of post-apocalyptic scenario with my friends don't remember much details.
2nd dream - Only thing I remember clearly is that myself and bunch of people were defending some kind of futuristic warehouse from alien invasion.

At this point everything is normal, I didn't realise I am dreaming but this is when the scary and fascinating part kicks in.

3rd dream (I guess there was more, but I really can't remember) - After so much scenarios I I suddenly woke up in my hometown. Sitting on fountain, everything was covered in snow (as it is right now) and I was talking with some stranger. I suddenly realised that this is different than normal, we were talking about things and when he wrote something on the floor and told me to figure out what it is I suddenly obtained lucidity and absolute confusion. All I saw being carved in the snow was bunch of marks that gave no reason whatsoever. It was like some 4 yo kid trying to draw. I suddenly remembered that dream characters most of the time won't know that they are in dream. They acted normal, like in real-life. So I looked at my dream visitor and asked him If he knows that this is just a dream, he said yes.
I was in confusion and realised that everything that is happening is either my brain talking to itself, or this is some astral figure that I am talking to. I asked him again, wheter am I talking to myself or someone different. He said that he is not part of me. I could control the landscape, and fly through skies but I could not control this character. All I remember that we had lenghty discussion from which I don't remember anything at all. Last thing I remember clearly that I asked him: Are you god? Or some other kind of spiritual being? He wrote something in the snow at which I looked and all I saw were the same marks I saw last time. Then he disappeared and I tried to learn how to fly. Everyone is always so excited about flying in matters of lucid dreaming so I wanted to try it myself. After few not-that-succesful jumps I somehow flew into the skies, just wandering around the town. Then I was starting to lose lucidity once again.

I can tell it was wonderful experience and I highly recommend learing Reality checks, it will help you attatin lucidity in your dreaming experiences (As I gained my through reading strange signs )

I am outside our house. I go for a walk. While I'm walking I look at the stars. I see some big galaxies. I realise that you can't see galaxies with bare eye, so I must be lucid. This time I'll get the 1900s task done. As teleporting has ruined my earlier attempts at the task, I simply decide I am in the 1900s. The street lights and the houses turn to look like ones from the beginning of the 20th century. I go into one of the houses. The house is very narrow and has 2 or 3 floors. I go to the bedroom. There is a woman there. A box appears into my hand. It has a button on the top. I take a picture of the woman sitting in the bed. The image is black-and-white. If I remember right, the woman had a black shirt and a curly blond hair. There was also another woman in the room but I don't remember anything about her.

[Dream]
After a dream I awake and thought on an exercise (vocal sounding in the chacras) which I do in the last days. With the first vocal I was again in the dreamstate and I here the vocal sounding with many many voices. Although I see a width stream of light which builds up from the voices.

[Analyse]
After this lightfull dream I try to exercise every time the vocals when I thought I awaken. Most time I can do 3 vocals and then I fall again in sleep.

Well i'm gonna warn you that this is the longest I have had so far and is gonna be a LOT of words. Before you read this understand that i'm not racist against anybody (i'm black but everybody says I act white, but I can't help it)

Well i'm looking for something near some bushes in front tree's that divide lawn's between some of my neighbors house. Anyway, there are some vicious dogs behind the trees, on a chain. So we are looking in the bushes and we see simething move and everyone but me jumps, and we are laughing because the oldest person out of us was scared the most. So we continue looking in the bushes for some unknown item. Then we hear a loud chain rattle like the dogs were moving towards us and everybody, i mean everybody jumps and runs away as fast as humanly possible. I jumped (and when I jump in a dream I go literally miles into the air and i don't know why I didn't see this as a reality check and fly away) like miles into the air and looked down (i have a fear of heights) and almost had a heart attack because the logical part of my brain kind of woke up and I thought I was gonna break my ankles when I landed. I was looking over the entire neighborhood like floating through the air, it was basically jumping at an angle so I glided over the neighborhood. Now that I think of it, it was exciting and AWESOME. For some reason after I landed the first time I jumped again even though their was no threat. I noticed while I was jumping the group I was with was saying I must have been really scared because I was still in the air. After a while I just ended up at my grandma's house. I was near her room and my aunt is talking to my grandpa and when I walk up to them and he tells me one of my girl (notice the space) friend's has sexy curves. I told him that if he was to come near her she would kill him with a fiery passion. My aunt tells me to go do something, so I walk away and I hear her go outside. I then open the door to be nosy and see what they're doing but she's behind the door sitting in a chair and says "What are you doing" so I say "sorry i'm nosy as eff and I had to come out here to see what y'all were doing. She tells me he went in my grandmas room and I say okay. Then an extremely short and BLACK, I mean really black and ghetto sixth grader comes up to us, OUT OF NOWHERE and says he goes out with one of my class mate's (she is classy, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and doesn't date black people). So I tell him in exact words "no you don't, you muss be confused cuz she don't wanch (want in ghetto language) you". So then I start running around screaming that the child is really confused. After that i'm in the hallway in my school. Me and one of my friends (can't remember which one) are talking. I then realize I am dreaming from no dream signs or anything. I try to will the setting of the school to change to something else but I loose lucidity and enter a class room. The class only has a few people in it and we are all talking. So while i'm talking to one of my friends the wall in the back if the room bursts and I see the killer "scream" behind the smoke. He walks toward me in that slow killer way and I run behind the desk (for some reason I don't feel like getting in a knife fight in this dream, the killer usually ends up running away in fear) and dodge the killer, so he tries to well kill me but I keep running and dodging him and he eventually runs away so I ask the class who is the killer after(i know it sounds stupid), and one of my friends says me, so I stuff her in my backpack and she starts laughing and i say that sounds like someone else is in there and it is. I don't realize that the people switched places as i'm walking towards the door I turn around three of the scream killers. I stop walking and they start running. I try to run away from one through the desks but they corner me off. I hit him and ran from the other killers with her still in my backpack and i dodge and eveade the killers until they all eventually run away. After they leave I get pissed off for some reason and wake up.

Intense but non-lucid dream this morning in which I attended the rehearsal of small, intimate play that had a ridiculous number on onlookers. A celebrated Portland actor was the star — she was playing a cancer victim or something like that — and she was totally surrounded by spectators, to the point where she was nearly hemmed in.

Seated in front of me was a popular area political commenator, who was whispering to one of the producers; she was there was a consultant regarding life in rural Oregon. (In waking life she’s from San Diego!)

At the break there was this big conference with the creative team, of which I was one, serving as the production’s dramaturg. There had been an earlier workshop of the production with a different team, and they were present and apparently had a big stake in the show’s outcome. I was holding the floor about different aspects of the process, and these people were at pains to show off their prior knowledge. It was all going fine — I was able to keep a decent balancing act going in which their input was accounted for yet we were still able to move forward — but this was also a bit of a strain, and I was glad when I woke up and could leave the project behind.

I was at our local town park on top of the hill that overlooks it. There were a few kids on the baseball field right at the base of the hill making a jump out of snow. They made it leading up to the pitcher's mound from home plate. One of them was on a snowboard standing over home plate with a bungee cord in his hand. It through him forward and he hit the jump going over the pitchers mound. The others clapped a little bit and walked towards him. Me, along with a few friends who were with me walked down to see exactly what they were doing.

When we got down there the dream skipped to a point where me and both of my friends were standing in the outfield. The other kids who were already there were in the infield and one of them threw a baseball to the kid who had just hit the jump. He picked up his snowboard and hit the ball with it, sending it flying over the fence. He walked around the bases casually trying not to make it seem like a big deal. Then, for some reason, I turned to my friend who was lying on the ground. He then proceeded to levitate a few inches off the ground and just sat there.

"Why don't you try spinning?" I said. At this point I didn't see anything out of the ordinary and just thought of it as an every day occurence (stupid me ). "Okay," He said and he then started to spin around in a circle. This is all I can really remember and I think I woke up shortly afterwards.



(I can't tell is this actually happened or was a dream, lol, but I figured I might as well post it too) I was on the chairlift at out local ski hill and saw somebody flying down the main head wall on the trail. He went over a large roller (mount of snow) and just kept going, not doing anything fancy. Then, he hit another roller and went flying, about 15 feet in the air and landed straight to flat. He absorbed the shock as much as he could and his back hand punched into the ground. He didn't fall and rode off to the right and met up with two other people. They were making "Oh!" noises and what not and high fives went around. That's all I remember.

Crazy Train
I am near the train tracks that are a couple miles from my house. It is either early in the morning or late in the afternoon, I don't spend much time thinking about that. I am waiting for the next train to come by. I know trains come along about every hour and they come to a stop near this railroad crossing to allow other trains to pass on the adjacent track. So I am waiting there for the next train to come along, I plan to hop on the train and see where it goes. I am thinking then all I have to do is jump on a train going the other direction when I want to come back.

I haven't been there for very long when a train comes along. It comes to a stop just past the railroad crossing, and proceeds to wait there for the other train to arrive and pass. I walk along the side of this train, looking for a way to board. I see an open box car and I head for that, it should work. I see there is someone already in the car. I am about to continue on my way when I realize I recognize the person. It's MoSh! Apparently MoSh has decided to travel into the USA using trains to get around for free. I head towards the car and call out his name, he looks over at me. The train is moving, though. Why so soon? It should have waited for another train to pass! I chase after the car with MoSh on it, it is clear he is going to help me on board if I can just catch up enough… the train is accelerating way too fast, much faster than should be possible… I am feeling quite disappointed and depressed as it pulls away and takes MoSh with it.

To Oblivion and Beyond!
I am inside a game of Oblivion, and I am looking to close an Oblivion gate. I also want to collect a lot of bloodgrass from Oblivion since the primary effect of bloodgrass is the chameleon effect. So I am wandering through the forests and fields looking for an Oblivion gate. I finally spot what I am looking for. It is at the bottom of a hill I am on. I hurry down the hill, jumping to move faster. I jump farther than I intend and I fall quite some distance to the ground below. I am thinking I will get hurt, but I land with no problem at all. I go through the gate into Oblivion.

Oblivion looks like I expect it to look, so I get straight to it. I pick several pieces of bloodgrass and see a couple scamps. I snipe one with my bow and arrow and finish the other off with my sword. I continue along the way, collecting lots of bloodgrass. I spot the tower that I know will house the sigil stone and I head for it. I have enough bloodgrass for now, so it is time to close this gate. I get into the tower and fight my way to the top. I snipe a scamp from across the room in the first room of the tower. I also spot a daedra that isn't paying any attention when I get near the top, I snipe him, too. I love sniping these daedra that aren't paying attention… they're so stupid. I get to the top of the tower and I grab the sigil stone to collapse the gate…

…and now I find myself in someplace really strange… somehow stranger than Oblivion. The sky looks like a swirling black hole or maybe a galaxy spinning really fast, the ground is barren and dead. How did I end up here? This isn't normal for Cyrodiil… maybe I ended up on the Shivering Isles? It doesn't even look right for that, though the sky looks about right… I start wandering across the barren landscape to see if I can find out where I am. I turn to look back and the collapsed gate is still immediately behind me even though I have been walking for several minutes. How can that be? And how am I supposed to get anywhere if I can walk forever and not move at all?
