The Dark Tower – Witchblades, Insanity, and Spiders

I am in a forest, it is night time out. I see the glow of a campfire not far off. I approach that glow, I am hoping to find out where I am and why I am here. As I reach the campfire I see that there is a man here with a gun pointed in my direction. This is not an attack, it is just Eddie. He is there with Susanna, and Roland. Roland doesn’t seem to be paying any attention at all. I noticed that Susanna has no Witchblade. She needs to get a Witchblade that can form legs for her so she can walk. Eddie asks if I am looking to get myself shot? I tell him it wouldn’t matter if I did. He asks me if I want to die? I tell him sometimes I do, but not right at the moment. I tell him it wouldn’t matter because my real body is in another dimension sleeping right now. To me, this is a dream.

Now I turn to Susanna and ask if she would like things to be a bit easier? I tell her I have something that can help her. With this, she will never need a wheelchair again. She looks at me as if she doesn’t quite believe that. Roland has finally noticed my existence. I am not sure what wrong with him, but I am thinking it might be the madness that almost came up as a result of the paradox the man in black created. First I sit down beside Susanna and pull a Witchblade out of one of the pockets of my robe. I explained to her how it can help her. I tell her it might take a bit of getting used to, but the new legs would possibly work even better than her old ones. And the Witchblade can also produce armor or melee weapons. I tell her that I have one for everyone here if everyone wants one. Susanna accepts the Witchblade, but seems to have some doubts as to how well it will work. I also give a Witchblade to Eddie, who has been hearing me explain how it’s used Susanna.

Now I go over by Roland ask him how he’s doing. He doesn’t have to answer, I can see the answer in his eyes. I use the song My Last Breath by Evanescence to help Roland stabilize his mind. “Hold on to me, love, you know I can’t stay long. All I wanted to say is I love you and I’m not afraid. Can you hear me? Can you feel me in your heart?” After the song is done, it appears that Roland is doing better. He says that the voices aren’t gone, but they are much quieter. I take out another Witchblade and give it to Roland, explaining to him how it works. I am doing this when MoSh shows up. I noticed that Eddie is pointing a gun at him. He asked if both of us really want to die that badly? MoSh says he can’t die here. He then looks over and sees me giving Roland a Witchblade. He asked how many of those things I have? He says it seems like I never run out. I tell him that since I know the person who makes them, no I don’t ever run out. I also tell Roland that my technique won’t last, the only way to stop the voices for good to repair the paradox. They have to set things back on the proper course before the man in black fucked it up.

MoSh and I are trying to explain how the paradox works to the others when I noticed something moving in the darkness just outside the range of fire. I can’t see what it is, it looks like more darkness on top of darkness. It looks like the shadows have come to life. They seem to be moving closer, slowly but surely. Then one of them comes forward. It is a big black spider. It is about the size of a small dog, a Corgi. Eddie lets out a sound of the ocean before he manages to pull out a gun and shoot it. I am a bit surprised Roland doesn’t shoot. I look back and realize that he doesn’t even have any guns on him that I can see. I hear more gun fire right behind me and I turned around to see that MoSh has blasted more of the things that came into the light. There seem to be so many of them. My first thought is to create fireballs to burn the spiders, but then I think that might be a bad idea. I might end up starting a forest fire. So instead I focus on Enter Sandman and create a small whirlwind of energy that sucks the black spiders up and crushes them. I do that three times and there is much gunfire while I do that but finally the things stop coming. I hear MoSh asking what those things were, but no one seems to know, I only know they were made of dark energy. But I don’t even get a chance to say this before I wake up.

I was driving a van, I can't remember why. In the van with me, was my sister and a good friend of mine (whom I've not spoken to in a while).

We reached my childhood home. My mum was living there. (In waking life, my mum moved out of that house about 4 years ago)
We were at my mum's house purely to make some sort of juice filled with fruit. My friend came in with me and she started making the juice. To be honest, it was more like some sort of chunky fruit soup, but we put it in travel mugs. I went upstairs to find my travel mug. It was really weird because I used what felt like waking-life memory to find the lid of the mug, but it was of course a false memory since I remembered it being in my old bedroom. Now that I wake up, I'm trying to remember where the lid actually is in my current home, but I can't for the life of me remember. It's lost.

Anyway, I found the mug and the lid, filled it up with that weird fruit soup, then we went back to the van. But this time my friend took the wheel, not me.

It felt like we were on some sort of adventure. But the scene somehow completely changed. I was now in a building with my family. My mum, 3 of my grandparents, and my little uncle (yeah, an uncle who's younger than me) were all there, and I think a few others from my family. The building was some sort of place filled with antiques on several floors. Each floor had a booth with a guy in it, and there were many people rushing up the levels to snatch an antique and take it to the booth to be cleared.

So, we were all in this mad competition with all these people. Me and my mum and a couple of others ended up in competition with my little uncle. I remember getting angry at him and we all tried to run ahead of him up the levels, but he kept catching up with us and trying to take our antique from us.

Then guitar plectrums got involved in the whole thing. The ground and the stairs were all covered in plectrums, and for some reason it felt advantageous to pick up a plectrum and strum some guitars that were sitting by, as we ran past them. I remember a few people from school appearing and shouting about the plectrums. While running, I remember giving a plectrum to one of those old schoolmates, and another schoolmate being confused as to why I would give up my advantage like that.

We eventually lost my little uncle (after a lot of harsh fighting with him) and we made it out of the building, at the top. But somehow we were not like, on the roof, we were just, outside. It felt like we had won over my little uncle.

Then I remember 2 of my grandparents (my dad's parents) being outside, they were just chilling as if on holiday.

Then, next thing I remember is "waking up" and then being at a big table filled with my whole family. My little uncle was there, and I still had some left-over feelings of hatred towards him, but I questioned it. I was like "Hold on, Cammy, you were in my dream last night. So weird..." and in realizing the whole feud was just a dream, I let go of the feelings of hatred and competition and just enjoyed the time with my family.

Then the scene changed again, I was back with the van. But my friend was gone. It was just me and my sister. But we were trying to find a spot where my friend could find us, because we knew that my friend was in her own car and would be trying to find us by now. So we parked down this little dirt path on a hill and walked about to find an ideal spot to stand and wait.



Really weird. I had a dream within a dream.

And yesterday, some repressed emotions about my family came to the surface, and I feel that this dream was reflecting that. But all my negative emotions towards my family got directed completely towards my little uncle. And I feel bad about that. The poor soul, he hasn't done me any wrong AT ALL in life. But I think my mind was using him as a way to mirror my unnecessarily harsh feelings towards my family, back to me. Basically showing me that I've been overthinking the whole thing with my family.

-1-A world where I switched houses every week. At the last house I remember, there was a cop car circling it on its property. When I followed it all the way around the house, I found that it had stopped next to an ambulance.
-F-Something about Smash Bros. Melee

I'm in a city. Talking to someone about flying. I see a commercial airplane high in the sky, so I tell the person I will fly to that. As I get closer, I reallize it's flying too fast and it will fly above me before I get to it. But I see more con trails and I can fly to those if I miss this airplane.

Trying to fly to the highest building. Not much luck going fast. But trying. Hopping from one building to another. Trying to trick my dream around me by standing up on the building and pretending it's the tip of the tallest building. The dream changes and I'm standing very high up, looking down the city is far below me in the deep.

Mexico-

turist attraction 3 places, long, round, long, whales are migrating swimming through them, people watching, taking pictures. I pull out my camera. Whales come through a canal into a smallish round room, they rest there, we watch them, then they fall down through a waterfall into another canal thats much lower than the room. I'm taking pictures, amazed at the majestic beauty of the animals.

Trying to drive to north east tip of Mexico, where Caribbean waters on the left meet Pacific waters on the north. (Yes, I had the geography wrong). Talking to some locals about the drive. Then my vision zooms in and I can't believe how turbulent the waters are up north. Incredibly huge waves are crashing against each other, colors of brownish and white. It's spectacular.

It all started normal, just a random dream where elephant eggs (looked like big frog eggs) were the best thing to eat, it was some chinese food but amazing. So after a while the eggs were gone, I went home to my computer and did some stuff. And all of a sudden an add opened, not a normal add because I got sucked in. And I was in the totally different world all fucking weird so I closed the tab and it opened another one, I got sucked in and now Im playing a role in a movie but were doing everything wrong. After a while of this it got a bit scary and I closed all the "ads". I went outside, to the chinese bar. This time a different one and they didnt have the elephant eggs either. Went back home and opened another "ad" this time it was called metal. I was there with some friend very high in a skyscraper but it was under construction so it was from top to bottom all the way these metal constructs for the workers to stand on. Then ofcoard the bars broke down and we fell kept falling and landed on a still steady bar. One of the workers said fuck this and broke another bar, we fell flattened to the ground, not dead tho. Stood up, went to the chinese restaurant and it was allngone, not gone but an explosion happened(gewijzigd)
I went upstairs to see survivors then to the roof still nothing. I wanted to go back but then I heard a noise, an elephant was stuck inside, we helped it and got it to the sea and dropped it in. The shore wasnt really a shore, it was this stone platform like 15 square meters. When we dropped the elephant in I went in with it. (Normally Im quite afraid of shallow waters). I went ib with it to the depths and then I went back up with a harpoon. That I shot to go at immens speeds.when I got back on the platform I asked the elephant for some eggs. It said "no... please dont.." so I didnt and went back home. I opened another ad and I was back at the construction skyscraper so this time I took everyone who was there and held them tight to a rope where we did a "deathride" till the platform again. I closed the tab and did it again. This time with firearms and there were sort of zombies everywere so I said to everyone, WE CAN DO THIS. Me and my friends were all in but our "vip" wasnt. I convinced him and we went. Shooting down and bombing all these zombies. When we came at the platform we threw some c4 and blew them all up. One of the guys was hurt so i took him behind some sort of crates but black and gave him some of my candy to cheer him up. After a bunch of fighting it was all over, on the way back home I realised I was in a dream but things went crazy. Everything went black and I got in sleep paralysis I think. All of a sudden I was back in the dream without knowing Im in one anymore. And whilz walking back home I remembered that I was sucked in these ads so I closed them all which took me a while. The end.

I was leaving a scene with two others. We got into a small, industrial elevator. I pressed the button (in a hurry, a guy with swords was chasing us I think) but nothing happened. I found a kind of power switch, and set the power from '1' to '2'. The elevator started moving when I tried the button again. I went like "ooooh, yeah!" and high fived the guy next to me.

Once down to the parking lot, I started collecting guns. Everything was third-person video game style. I picked up a ton of guns, but the people I was supposed to escort had already left without me.

I went after them, and discovered their pursuers had crashed their car. It was upside down. I thrust my sword through the window, killing everyone inside with one stab. My sword was badly damaged, but whatever. I walked toward the car of my allies, who were swooning over my awesomeness. I was wearing a suit at this point.

Dream 1 - Eddie's Got My Back

Scene 1 - Family Party What Stuff Just Happens
The visuals were slightly blurred. I was at the lot near my home during twilight. There was a birthday party going, of which close and distant relatives were guests. Later on, I go into a neighbor's house, where I float around for a bit. Inside, I find my cousin Elliot playing video games in the basement (as if there's basements here...). There's some talk of various media. Unknown transition.

Scene 2 - Forbidden Beast at School
The visuals were dim. I was seated in a poorly lit classroom. Must've gone in too early, as there wasn't many people around. As I waited, I summoned the Forbidden Beast Eddie, where I had him transform into a drill, then a buzzsaw. An Indian guy got curious, too curious, as he repeatedly put himself in harm's way, despite my warnings. Unknown transition.

Scene 3 - Kong Arcade
The visuals were brighter. I was at an arcade. There were various Donkey Kong games there. For some reason, I thought this was a trigger for an RC, though I still ignored as much. Anyway, one of these was a multiplayer arena game, where a team of Kongs were to climb a giant coconut tree as high as possible before Mario chopped the tree down. Unknown transition.

Scene 4 - Forbidden Doctor Intrigue
The visuals were clear. I was at a hospital, waiting in a lobby, no doubt visiting an infirm relative. While going through a hallway, I spot mom. I blurted of being hungry, prompting mom to go out of her way to go through some "food scheduling service" in the hospital. She was highly misinformed. Turned out, I got registered to a room. Before I could say anything, a stretcher had already been prepared for me. I tried clearing this up with a doctor, a balding guy with glasses. The man got furious, and refused to take no for an answer.

We took our conversation to a darkened recovery room. Inside, several other doctors were waiting, one an Indian man, and the other a middle aged woman with auburn hair, both of which were reclining on beds. We argued for minutes without arriving at a consensus.

At the end of it, the doctors exposed a bit of intrigue. Apparently, the three were mass-booking patients at their hospital for government funding, all so that they could afford some fancy vacation. They then mentioned having access to, and being the recipients of, the latest in bionics and gene therapy, saying as such with uncanny coordination. Figured there was no way they'd let me go now. Suddenly, the three twisted into nightmarish, hulking forms. As they morphed, I silently called Eddie via finger gestures. Light steadily escaped the room. At my command, the Forbidden Beast sprung out as a row of long spikes, instantly tearing the monstrous doctors to shreds.

I then immediately woke up. There were lingering thoughts of my being lucid at some point...

Scrap Group 1
WBTB to write down notes and meditate. It took a while to get back to sleep.

Something of falsely waking up in an unknown home. Pretty sure this transitioned to below.

Dream 1 - World-Wind

The visuals started blurred, but became progressively clearer. I was flying out to the ocean during a clear dawn. Lucid from the start.

I rocket past many different landscapes, neither of which seemed inhabited. Later, I try blasting off to the cosmos. As I left the stratosphere, space suddenly bended around me, and I found myself near the surface of the world (if not a different planet). This was an interesting experience, so I did so purposefully a few more times.

After that, I stopped by a beachside hotel at a narrow peninsula, the only non-natural site in view. I try throwing the building. But, it felt insubstantial in my hands, and once in the air, it faded out of view. Things felt unstable. Took a moment to concentrate. I then tried smashing a crater in the sand, but that didn't happen. Next, I telekinetically lifted a large clay tile (at least several hundred pounds) from an empty lot, and launched it to the horizon.

Then, I jumped into the shore, where I attempted to bring a tornado from each hand. Nothing seemed to occur, so I walked away. But soon, from the water's reflection, I saw dark clouds gathering above me. Sure enough, as I glanced back, a twister had suddenly formed. The winds pulled me in, and I got spun to the top of the funnel. Water droplets and dust sprayed on me at mach speed, stinging greatly. Despite any of that, I was completely unharmed. I rode the storm for half a minute, then let it go on its way.

Things destabilized, and I woke up.

Scrap Group 2
False awakening to my sister and mom making some very nasty commentary. I was almost certain this wasn't real, but lingering doubts caused me to wake up, just in case.

Had some lucid dreams last night, only two nights gap between the last ones, which is pretty motivating.

Dream 1: I became lucid in some outdoor setting and attempted to fly but could not lift off.

Dream 2: I became lucid in a very dark underground library setting. Manei was there and standing by my side. It was dark so I created a blue fireball and threw it into the distance. I didn't want it to impact anything so as it flew forward I ordered it to stop. I then ordered it to grow bigger and to follow just above me creating a light source. I recall the fireball had some very strange spinning rings and holographic runes around it.

We walked around for a bit. The library was very large and full of old books written in an incomprehensible language. Manei picked a few of them out to study them but put them back on the shelf. We got to the end of the library and arrived in this bedroom/study. There was a large fur blanket on the ground. Manei crawled under it. I wanted her to stay in the dream but when I lifted the blanket she gone.

Dream 3: I was in a large locker room/bathroom/shower room trying to hide from someone.

Dream 4: Long and boring dream having to do with a school bus.

This night's series of dreams ended with two TV dudes (one of them Jeph Loeb) blabbering on in an interview about 'more episodes'.

There was a dream in which I was trying to save some chick from what I think was a storm. I was flat on the ground (high winds), clawing closer to her using some kind of stick (like how rock climbers use a climbing axe), which was previously a sword. Either way, I got her out. That event was somehow prophesied. Anyhow, a guy I knew in school (Stig) was standing by some electrical wiring, and he said my actions somehow rerouted power and revealed a location we had to visit next. The villains' base at the bottom of the Mariana trench. This was a cliffhanger for the 'sequel' (my dreams now play out like TV episodes).

In another scene, I entered a room together with Jules Winnfield. I found my Glock 19 on the ground, and I immediately noticed it was still warm. Like it'd been used recently. I told Jules this was likely a trap (someone was trying to set us up and pin a murder on me, I guess), and I swore to him it wasn't me. We found some guy, I think wounded but still alive. I thought to myself we had to question him before killing him off.

A dream of mind focused on a romantic couple, and both of them are some of the strangest creatures I've ever seen in a dream.

The female of the pair had the head of a cat, and the body of a gigantic bumblebee. The species further had five eyes and needle-sharp teeth. The fur of this creature's head was crimson in color, and where yellow stripes would normally be on a bee, the stripes of the thorax and abdomen were instead crimson.

The male of the pair was mostly just a large, brown colored water buffalo, except for the creature's face, which was disturbingly human, complete with facial hair, and specifically looked to be Spanish in ethnicity. His face was constantly locked in a grimace of mild discomfort and he wore a chef hat. When this creature died it was furthermore allowed to come back to life in it's "true form", which appeared as a disappointingly normal anthropomorphic dog.

The two were in love, though the female had qualms about dating a herbivore, though this issue was solved when the male was suddenly killed and subsequently reincarnated.

-I became lucid in a dark room with a stairwell. I lost it shortly after. Later, I became lucid again and attempted stabilization before blacking out.
-1-I was walking up some carpeted stairs in a badly-designed hallway. The ceiling and the floor were closer together at the top of the stairs, meaning I had to crawl through. This was part of a longer, linear journey for something weird.
Lucid Time: 40-60 sec

At a workplace the employees were messing about pushing a made up, stuffed and wrapped, figure out of a high up window, as a prank.
I arrived at work the next day to find my desk covered in crap whereas everyone else's desks were just the normal paperwork.
A call came through about doing a Law course in my old town, I self consciously put them down.
It was a works do and everyone headed out to a large venue a few blocks away. It was dark and crowded inside, everyone was getting very drunk, also other stuff that I felt I needed to steer well clear of. In fact, I just got fed up with it all and went home to sleep.

Dream No. 298 - Rescue From The Stranger

I don't remember what happened at the start of the dream. From where I do remember, I was on a distorted version of the Monash Freeway, supposedly heading to the city. At some points, it felt like I was driving a truck rather than a car. Also, some of the lanes on the road were confusing and I thought I had missed the turn off. I decided to take the last exit before the tunnel and thankfully I was successfully led into the city. Weirdly though, as I was heading towards the centre of the city, it started to distort into some unknown area and was rather a rural suburb. It now felt like I was driving in a proper car and the scenery was attractive to look at.

I ended up at some odd looking, supposed automotive shed and met up with my dad there. A stranger had come up to us, he was a man similarly aged to my dad but slightly older. He grabbed hold of my dad, having the intention to eventually abduct him. No matter what I did, the stranger wouldn't let go of my dad and rather continued to torment him. I ended up getting freaked out and decided that it was time to call for Dreamy WB.

I was calling and calling as loud as possible but there was no response. After a lot of attempts, I looked back at my dad and he was now being mauled by the stranger and so I couldn't afford to waste anymore time. For once, I actually did some problem solving and determined that for this dream, calling out loud was no longer a viable option. I said to myself to summon Dreamy WB as if I was writing a letter. For a moment, I thought I was just rehearsing what I was going to say but I ended up actually continuing and making an entire script.

Eventually, there were results as Dreamy WB was sighted casually walking into the scene from a side street. She looked different compared to the WB in real life, although her features were still distinguishable. Also, I noticed that Dreamy WB acted rather authoritative towards me in this dream rather than her typical, fun and relaxed nature. Even if her personality was slightly cold, she still did the job. She came up to the stranger in the automotive shed, pried him off my dad, pulled the stranger into a side room, and gave him a really hard, harsh and heavy lecture.

She then met my dad and I back in the garage area of the building. She told us that we'd be travelling in her car, as well as what the seating arrangements were. Apparently my dad, grandma and I were going to be in the back seat as NN was supposedly coming with us and he was going to be in the front seat. The dream then transitioned into the scene we were in Dreamy WB's car and in this dream, it was a small silver car.

Apparently though NN wasn't with us and so the seating arrangement was a bit different. My dad and grandma were in the back and I was in the front with Dreamy WB. She drove us around for while, taking us for some fast-paced sightseeing of the area. When we were approaching the coast, that's when I woke up.

Dream No. 297 - Separated Sections

Dream 297 A - Still After Me
I don't remember much of this dream. From what I can remember, I was at my house but I forgot specifically what I was doing. I went into the backyard and there I had another encounter with my deceased grandfather. He was back to his bad self... I knew something was up and so I started to run/fly away as soon as possible. He had no weapon with him but it was bad enough that he was just chasing after me.

I tried calling out for Dreamy WB but nothing seemed to be happening. My grandfather was still after me in the backyard no matter how many times I yelled out for help. I noticed something was odd with my voice though. It's like my voice couldn't go past a certain level and so I was not very loud, almost like I actually had a cold and my calls for her were muffled. I approached the fence and jumper over it in a floating manner. My calls for Dreamy WB were getting worse as there was now also some delay in my voice. This is all I can remember about this dream.

Dream 297 B - The Sister Knows Best
I don't remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, my brother's uni friends were over at our house but I forgot what for. We decided that it was a good idea to go to McDonalds and we all had some lunch there. While my brother was talking to his friends, I deviated somewhere for a while. On my way back to the boys, there was this bag of potato gems sitting on one of the tables. I didn't know they belonged to anyone and so I started to pick on up and aim at eating up.

Just a millisecond before I put the potato gem in my mouth, this girl about my age comes up to me, blonde hair and blue eyes, and she doesn't look happy. She tells me that they're her potato gems and for me to put them down. I said something to her like “Oh sorry, I didn't think these belonged to anyone but if they're yours, then you can have them”. The girl wasn't graceful and rather kept telling me off although I did acknowledge the true property of the bag of four potato gems. I then joined the boys and we finally left McDonalds.

When we got back home, there was mention that one of the boys wanted to go to this Safeway store that was known for having a massive supply of goods. It was YF and I said to him, “If I had known I could have driven you there. And I can still drive you now if you want”. For some reason, he started getting aggressive with me and being really stand-offish. I clearly remember seeing DC in the scene as well and he had his arms folded over, also looking the same way at me. I know there was more to them dream but I have forgotten what happened after that.
