Lucid Time!

Some of you may recall that I posted an entry called "Mixup Shooter" awhile back. It was about a video game that combined elements from a bunch of other video games. Well I swear I dreamt once more about that same game, but this time, Rather than being single player, I was playing with other people. The game was divided into three rounds.

Round 1:

Somebody that I was playing with stated that we were going to start off slow, just an FFA deathmatch. We spawn into this world that is sort of like a large square grassy feild, perhaps about a thousand foot on edge square. There is a large high cliff to keep anyone from going outside of the map. There are some rolling hills and high tech looking structures that can be used for cover.
I can't really recall too many details of the first fight, but I do know that I played very well and some other players were accusing me of cheating. Though for good reason, My default weapon was this black rifle with this computer screen on it that displayed how much ammo I had left (like the AR in Halo.)

Round 2:

Same map, but now we're on teams. This causes large tower-like bases to appear built into the sides of the cliffs in opposite sides of the map. Also, some more players join in.
I enter my own team's base and find what looks like a teleporter pad. When I step onto it, I am teleported to the top of our base. There are a few windows that overlook the map, and a pile of guns. All of the guns looked pretty much the same, only with minor variations. They were made of this white metal material and had a blue energy conduit running down the sides. (Once more a cool sci-fi design.)
I swap this for my default gun, and it turns out to be an effective sniper. I kill everyone on the enemy team. The match ends and I get more accusations that I was cheating. I try to convince the other players that I was playing fairly.

Round 3:

Everyone drops out of the party, leaving me and one or two other guys who were on my team. They are acting as though they are good friends with me. We decide to play against bots.
We go into that same map again. And I find myself under attack by tiny tanks. (I kid you not this game had tanks that were about a foot in length.) I shoot them and they die almost instantly. But I soon learn you can just step on them to destroy them. I get into the swing of jumping on tiny tanks and crushing them.
We come under attack by these robots with machineguns and missile silos. These enemies are alot tougher and they can take out alot of your health if your not careful. I start fighting them as well, but somehow (even though this is a first person shooter game) enter third person and realize that I am one of these robots. But like an upgraded version that is tougher, moves faster, and has more weapons.
I fight of the enemy robots one or two at a time, along with dozens of the miniature tanks. The final wave has three of the enemy mechs coming at once. I manage to destroy all of them. We "win" the match and my two friends congratulate me.

Lunch with ATLA.

I really need to re-watch this series. I was trying to WBTB, but I lost focus and started thinking more about what I wanted to do in dream control rather than actually becoming lucid. I thought about bending the elements, then went into thinking about this show as the dream started.
So this was an interesting thing, I actually got to see the dream begin, as my thoughts and imagery in my mind's eye became a dream. As the dream became fully formed, I realized I was in the drugstore in my town, but it had been converted into this really fancy oriental restaurant. The image in my head of all the characters melded into the dream and they became real people. (cool) So we had Aang, Zuko, Katara, Sokka and Toph.
We all sat at this big round table at the center of the restaurant. Someone came and took our orders, but we never actually got food. Nobody seemed that interested in talking. I asked why everyone was so quiet.
In turn they each stated some issue with their lives that they had. (Some of these issues were more focused around conflicts that actually happened in the show, but others were more random. Zuko complained about... well it's going to go unmentioned. That unspeakable monstrosity of a movie. He didn't like that it was making the avatar series look bad.) So I guess this was supposed to be some kind of strange fourth wall joke.
I talked with Zuko first and told him that I knew that that movie sucked, and anyone who was a real fan of the show thought that movie was crap too. That was pretty much it, he felt better and smiled at me.
I talked with Aang next. I can't even recall what his dilemma was, but it took me much longer to counsel him out of it. But eventually, he to started feeling better. Sokka's big issue had to do with an inferiority complex. (Like in the show, he's one of the only characters who can't control an element.) His was difficult to talk out of, but I did get there after awhile.
Katara had some problem, but (enter dream logic) the only way I could help her with it was if we talked about it over the phone. So I had to step outside, then call her (because enter more dream logic; Katara who lives in that world's equivalent of the 1800's has a cell phone and knows how to use it.)
So then came the part where I stood outside the restaurant for ten minutes helping a fictional character work out her issues. It was something along the lines of not fitting in with the others. Just as I thought her issue had been resolved, I was going back to see Toph, but I woke up.
