Lucid Time!

I thing I want to adjust my new avatar picture. I want to get the animation working. Will do later today.

Many a celebrity from Dreamviews in this one.

I received a rather sketchy email that somebody was in the early stages of creating an animated series based off of dreamviews. They said that they used animation from other animes to fill in the blanks, so I shouldn't worry about that, because in time they will edit that out and replace it with original animation. It didn't say much else, but sent me a link to follow at Dreamviews.Anime. Supposedly that was the title of it.

The footage started. It established that there was a 'Dreamviews Academy' where lucid dreamers were trained. I never saw the design of the school from the outside, but from what I could gather, it was castle-like. Everyone was gathered in this large hall with stone columns, kind of like the big dining hall from Harry Potter. It had that sort of feel.

OneUpBoy. He had the deception tee-shirt from his profile picture on under a formal jacket. Backwards baseball cap and spiky brown anime hair. Now, whenever I read his DJ, it seems he’s always after the ladies, and this was no different. He had four or five really attractive girls huddled around him and this huge smile, like he was really enjoying himself.

Kristanicole07. She left the site a little while ago for an extended hiatus, but we used to shoot each other comments on DJ entries all the time. She was dressed in this long black dress and had long black gloves and purple eye-liner and lipstick.

Dawneye11 was there, and so was Dawn. She looked like the girl from K-On like she does in her picture, though she was wearing this blue sparkly dress, and had a drink. She sort of looked drunk. Dawn was there, his long white hair was tied back and he was wearing a tuxedo and a red bow tie. Dawn had his arms folded and was pouting in an almost humorous way.

Dreamer was there, she was wearing this elegant long purple dress and had this odd exotic hairdo with this big purple jewel crowning her head. She seemed to be blundering around and having constant problems with her outfit.

There was this absolutely hilarious character that I guess was supposed to be CanisLucidis. It was a wolf's head on the body of a very well-endowed woman wearing a nun dress.

Then there was a bipedal cat who looked like a business cat meme. I guess this was supposed to be either Gab or Threecat.

Sageous was the leader of the dream-school. He looked like gandalf, staff and all.

Anyways, the dance was getting underway, being social, etc. I was reading through the description under the video and it said that this was the episode where my character was introduced. It also talked about the main character, who wasn't based off of any real lucid dreamers.

Then the door burst down. A middle aged man with a fu-manchu mustache walked in. He had a third eye tattoo and wore a black robe. There were a pair of sentinels who looked like people wearing daedric armor for lack of a better description. He began a monolouge about his evil plan or whatever and Sageous was glaring at him. The bad guy said something about the school's security sucking, and that Sageous should do a better job of protecting his school.

Then it showed my character for the first time. He was standing on an interior balcony in the hall, though it looked like a fusion of my dream-self and Dr. Stein from Soul Eater. His hair was dark (like mine) but he had the glasses (like stein). He didn't have the screw but he had a cigarette, and also the stitches going up his face. He was wearing a white robe and black undercoat. Manei was there too, wearing a short red dress and having a big orange flower in her hair.

The two of us jumped down from the balcony. In mid-air, Manei soul eater transformed into a black scythe with a silver blade. The bad guy ordered his two guardians to transform and they turned into giant swords. The two rushed one another and locked blades. They fought briefly until my character managed to knock the bad guy back. He skidded backwards across the floor and slammed into the door that was now closed.

"Give up! You're no match for our school's guardian." Sageous yelled.

"But this is!" The bad guy smiled and generated an energy ball in his hand, blasting my character back into a wall. Instant KO. (Hopefully that wasn't the last of me, though.)

Sageous started fighting the bad guy with his staff. The two seemed pretty evenly matched and there was some obvious yin-yang symbolism in the way that they fought. But the bad guy managed to pull a dagger at an opportune time during the fight and kill Sageous. The scene cut out there.

The anime then went to the main character. I can't remember if this was before or after the scene I had just watched. The main character was a boy with spiky brown hair and wearing a red shirt and brown leather jacket. Supposedly this boy was the 'chosen one' who was the only one who could save the dreamosphere from the evil guy. (Though it sounds to me like he was just the most cliche protagonist ever.)

He was at the part where he first met his dream guide, this husky blonde girl with a pink streak in her hair. She fought with a bow and arrow. She started talking to him about how she was tasked with guiding and protecting him, as the chosen one, but he just swooned, blushed, and looked at her boobs.

For some reason, even though the 'dreamosphere' or whatever was threatened all this boy seemed to care about was getting the girl. It started to become more of a romantic anime as he kept trying all these things like giving her flowers and taking her on dates and whatever, and it really didn't seem to win her over all that well. Eventually they had this emotional scene where the dream guide girl told him some tragic story (I can't recall it) that was the reason she wasn't romantic.

I think this anime that I dreamed of went through every romantic cliche in the book. Er... scratch that really. The whole story was somebody's top 100 list of cliches. The whole thing was just so unoriginal and bland, probably why I didn't remember it. Can we go back to the school with everybody from Dreamviews, please?

I also remember this one scene where the two were being chased by these thugs through an apartment complex. The boy was riding a little girl bike to get away fast enough, and he somehow got onto the roof of the apartment, and then by accident rode off into a pool. The dream guide girl thought it was funny. After that scene she slowly started opening up to him.

In a sort of twist ending the boy actually ended up failing in his quest. What followed was a very eerie scene where, get this: The entire galaxy dies. That's right. It showed how as the evil began to take over the galaxy all of the stars save for the dim red ones died, the galaxy became dark and cloudy, and red colored. There was some line of narration about the galaxy losing its original splendor.

As I started waking up and becoming somewhat lucid, it broke down into one of those space dreams. It talked about how at the center of the galaxy there were two stars that fused together to become one medium sized star, the last beacon of light and hope in the galaxy. I saw the Sageous character flying through space towards the star.
