Once Upon a Midnight Dreary (DV version)

[Hazel]

Haha, awesome dreams last night. As a result of my life being in constant danger (in my dreams, of course), I am now feeling really giddy. 1- Let Your Light Shine I am standing on the side of the highway talking to my parents during a storm, when I notice a gargantuan black tornado on the horizon, growing closer with each heartbeat. My parents continue to talk as I try to get their attention. Finally my dad cuts himself off and says, "What is that noise? It sounds like a freight train!" "Hm," I say, pondering sarcastically, "Maybe it's that GIANT TORNADO HEADED RIGHT TOWARDS US!!!" It is now only about half a mile away, and growing closer still. I am about to run when I do a nose-pinch RC just for the heck of it, not really thinking that it's a dream. But I can breathe... What the heck? I do it several more times and conclude I'm dreaming. I take flight, but my parents warn me against it and I instantly see why. The wind from the tornado throws me around, making a controlled flight impossible. I make it back to the ground and decide to walk until the storm ends. As I am headed down the road, it gets darker. Whenever a car goes by I can see because of its headlights, but then it gets dark again. Finally I think, "I really need some light or I'm going to lose lucidity." I instantly hve a brilliant idea. I hold out one finger and say, "Lumos," (which is the light spell from Harry Potter) and a bright blue light appears on my fingertip. I laugh in triumph. "Well, that's convienient!" I continue down the road, using my finger to light the way. Eventually my vision gets weird and the dream fades. 2- Humans, the Energy Source of the Future I have just come home from somewhere important, and I go off into the woods behind my house. Suddenly I feel a vile prescence and a dementor appears. ((I've been reading too much Harry Potter lately. I want to read the whole series before I see the rest of the movies.)) I instantly hold out my hand and shout, "Expecto Patronum!" It works, but just barely. I only seem to stun the dementor enough to be able to run away. I go back to my house and my mom tells me to drive to the store to get something. This makes me nervous, because I am a horrible driver, but I comply and go to the car. Somehow, the gas and the brakes are in the margin between the drivers seat and the passenger's seat, so I have to twist my leg at an odd angle to reach them. I make it to the store and back without much of a problem, but I did have several close calls. Especially due to the fact that something evis is after me. When I get back, I learn that the dementors have eaten the souls of my parents, leaving them as lifeless shells. I am trapped in my room with a dementor, a half-crazed werewolf, and someone who is actually somewhat sane (compared to the others, at least). I am armed with a pencil which I use as a makeshift wand. Whenever the dementor comes near me, I use the Expecto Patronum spell to keep it away. I use this on the werewolf as well, though it is not nearly as effective. The lady is getting angry that I am puttin up such a resistance. She slowly and maliciously pulls out a sharp knife, coming towards me. I rack my brain for a good spell, then shout out, "Expelliarmus!" The knife goes flying out of her hand across the room. She angrily comes at me again, now with the intent of strangling me. I say the first thing that comes to my mind. "Riddikulus!" She stops and gives me a sarcastic smile. "What good will that do? Laugh me to death?" I am then taken to a large machine, where they show me what is going on. Apparently, the human souls and all their experiences/memories are inserted into the machine, which will run the world for the alien robots which have apparently invaded. The memories, etc. are divided up into different parts of the machine. For instance, memories of driving a car would be used to transport the aliens from place to place. They take me back to my house and continue to try to take my soul, but I put up a good fight. They never manage to get my soul, but I never manage to escape, either.

7/13/09 1- Death Approaching It is dark outside, and I hear a demonic voice say, "Die, die, die!" over near my next door neighbor's house. I run inside to get weapons. It's just a dream, I can't really get hurt. I brandish two knives and go out to fight. Nothing comes except a talking cat. 2- Forgotten One My mom leaves and tells me not to go outside for some reason, but I go anyway. My dog Fred and our "other dog" rusty have busted a hole through the underpinning of the house. Fred has escaped but Rusty tells me he doesn't want to disappoint "Master." (My dad.) I suddenly realize that I haven't seen Rusty in years and wonder how he's still alive. 3- Gothic Sedation We go past a place where some goths are setting up a bunch of rock equipment. I think it's pretty cool, but my parents are extremely disgusted by it. Later, I'm at my grandparent's house. I may be engaged to someone... I am laying in bed holding a medigtation ball. My right arm falls asleep, and my dad bangs on the door asking if I have cross country practice. ((When I wake up, my right arm really is asleep. Not sure if my dad banged on the wall or not.)) 4- WILD One ((I concentrate on my breathing and enter SP.))I am stuck looking at a beautiful pattern. I concentrate on making myself have a body, which I finaly accomplish. I rub my hands together because I'm in 3rd person point of view, but I ((wake up.)) 5- Phone a Friend I am exploring a dense forest, and I have a strong sense of de je vu. I think I've been here in a previous dream, but I'm not sure. I randomly come across a phone. Maybe I can speak with my alien friend like I did in that other dream! I pick up the phone and say, "Hatu, can you hear me?" there is no answer, and eventually a recording comes up telling me to hang up and try again.

7/16/09 1- Tornado I am with Meg when a tornado approaches. She freaks out and says we should hide in the dog house, but I become lucid and prove that we aren't in any danger by letting the tornadow pass over me. Many more start to spawn, and we find ou that we can make them change direction by blowing on them.

1- Forbidden Forest I am living in an orphanage with a few younger girls who are now my foster sisters. We are not allowed to go off into the forest for some reason, but when our matron isn't looking, we go out anyway. I slide down a steep hill and end up getting dirt and leaves all down my back, and I tell my "sister" that I have to go get it out somehow, because it's driving me crazy. She tells me to just go off into the trees for a bit and she'll wait for me. The trees look really weird; they seem to have red and blue targets painted on them. Despite the creepy feeling that comes over me, I go deeper into the forest away from the others. There, I come across the orphanage's black cat. The forest seems to have turned him feral; when I try to pick him up, he sinks his teeth deep into my arm. I understand that he is somehow being controlled by the forest, so I ignore the pain and rush him back to the orphanage, where he seems to recover. But now, one of my "sisters" is acting strangely, as if the forest is controlling her as well.

1- The Eye of the Storm I am watching a monster storm outside my window. Sometimes huge clouds touch th eground and send jet streams of water into the air. It is very awe-inspiring, and a bit horrific. After it is over, the sky turns an almost unnatural blue and all the clouds fade away. A bit unnerved, I go downtown to try to get some information. I go on foot rather than driving, and another mammoth storm blows upon me, taking me off guard. I hurry home, not wanting to be caught outside in such a catastrope. On the way, I realize that I must be dreaming. As I walk down the interstate, I consider jumping infront of a car as it speeds towards me, but I worry that the impact will wake me up. I then remember that I wanted to find Dav and Ariel from a previous dream, so I call out their names. I find a person who says his name is Dav, but I'm not sure if he is the one I'm looking for. I ask him how he spells it, knowing if he adds an E to the end then I need to keep looking. I am distracted, however, by the sudden appearance of my crazy neighbor, Dee. Dee is wearing a shirt that says something very odd about AIDS. She then laughs like a maniac and says she's going to pass it on to me. Freaked out even though I know it's not real, I take off running and end up at her house. I climb onto the roof of her old barn, and when she follows I make more and more levels appear on top of the barn so I can climb higher. When it becomes clear that she isn't going to give up, I "comit suicide" and respawn in my house, "resetting" the dream. I walk through my house stabilizing the dream so things will not get so out of hand again. Everything seems as real as if I were awake, and if I hadn't know better I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. I can even feel things from our wooden floor sticking to my bare feet. I eventually have a confrontation with my mother, and things go downhill (as if they were ever uphill) from there.

1- Leroy? I become lucid and notice how darke it is outside. I try out the "clapper" idea, but it doesn't work. I then use telekinesis but the sun is a giant yellow smiley face which gives off no light. I give up on that and decide to summon Leroy. He appears on my couch, though he looks a bit like a guy I know from school. (Leroy's a shapeshifter, though, and the person he looks like fits his personality.) Instead of questioning him like I'm supposed to, I "appeal to his better nature" and end up making the dream change. 2- Battle of Wits Stevie and I are attempting to make a hideout for our team in a secret room, but the enemy notices a pattern and comes after us. It is my first battle since joining the team. I try to go through the glass in the back door, but end up breaking my way through in my haste. The ememy is in the form of wolves, which I easily dispatch. Later, I save my team from vicious arrow shooting Lepruchauns by stealing one of their hats, which repels the arrows.

1- Hatching a Catastrophe I accidentally crack open an egg that I find out in the back yard, and a baby chicken is inside of it. Or rather, HALF of a baby chicken. It has not formed all the way, but it is still alive. I decide to take care of it until it matures. I feed it some milk, then wonder how it is going to use the bathroom since it doesn't have it's hind quarters yet. Later, it changes to where I actually layed the egg, and the baby chicken eventually becomes a talking human baby. ((Wow. O_O That is beyond weird.))
