okami's adventures in the dream realm

This one got a little weird.
i was in an attic with tori somewhere, and we were looking at a map of the world. All of the countries were marked with symbols representing foods. (For example, south america was marked with a crescent representing a banana.) After a little while, i went out to the house's back yard, and saw an old, fat man dressed in a grey suit. I thought that this was strange, so i pinched my nose and could breathe through it. I became lucid, and the man ran onto the patio. I summoned amenei and asked him what to do. He told me to burn the whole area around the man to the ground, so i tried to set the patio on fire. When it didnt work, i was confused and did the nose thing again. This time, i couldnt breath through it, so i looked at my hands. They were completely normal, and didnt change when i focused on them. I lost lucidity. Amenei left, without a word. The fat man strolled away, and i woke up.

Okay, this one might be a little confusing.

The dream started in the wasteland from fallout 3. I was walking around, when i came upon a small cave. I walked in, and after a short load time i found myself talking to a strange man who looked like a doctor. He told me something about monsters living deep in the cave, and that he would pay me some caps if i killed them. I accepted, and went further in. After a short while of walking, i entered a final fantasy vii style battle sequence with a big dragon. I killed it, and kept going. Somehow, i ended up in an area that looked like a ruined, old doctor's office. Inside the room was my brother, wearing a white trench coat. He seemed to be troubled with some xrays of what i thought was a patient. I entered another ffvii battle sequence with sephiroth, randomly. After i won, my brother started telling me about how the doctor i had met at the beginning of the cave was doing some horrible experiments on people back here. He showed me the xrays, and they were of terrifying creatures that looked like ripped up people with aspects of animals. As i looked at them, a deadspace looking creature burst through the door. His face looked like a bird with no eyes. My brother lept up and tackled the beast, and i whipped out my knife. However, my brother commanded me not to kill it. Instead, he snapped off the beasts legs and threw them aside. After that, a second beast ran into the room and grabbed me while i wasnt looking, and i woke up.

Or at least i thought i woke up. Instead, i was in the bed i had as a kid, and my mother opened the door to wake me up. She told me that dad wanted to play a game of chess with me. I told her a website url and rolled over. I grabbed the gameboy color sitting next to my bed, and started to play pokemon red version (one of my favourite games as a kid.) I was talking to professeur oak when i woke up, for real this time.

I was swimming in a crystal clear, blue lake at sunset. As i swam along, i saw a couple of beluga whales and became lucid. I got out of the water and dried myself off. Remembering my past experiences with amenei, i summoned him in front of me. He looked PISSED. He growled and asked me why i summoned him. When i told him i wanted to learn more about lucids, he ran off and leapt into the lake. The lake completely evaporated. He walked back, and told me to try. Confused, i looked back at the lake, which was filled with water again. I tried to mimic what amenei did, but failed miserably. After a few more tries, i finally got it to work. (I set myself on fire and lept in.) When i returned to amenei, he was (of course) asleep. I yelled out his name and he got up. Before i could say anything else, he told me my time in the dream was limited and that he had taught me all he could for now. I then woke up.

Soooooooo looking foreward to my next lucid!!!

Sorry i havn't posted in a while; my dream recall went down the drain for a while...
anyway, back to the dream!
i was back at my brother's graduation ceremony. After all the speeches were over, i saw my brother start walking away. Everyone except me and him disappeared. We were suddenly outside, and it was getting dark. I started to run after my brother, who was walking away. My legs wouldnt work. I found myself standing alone in the dark in the middle of a huge feild, watching my brother leave.

I WILD, and find myself in the same patch of grass as last time. I see Amenei sleeping in front of me. This time around, I run up to him and slam my foot into his face. I catch on fire, but I instantly put it out. Amenei wakes up, PISSED. He lunges at me with incredible speed, and buries his teeth into my throat. I fall down, but struggle to maintain lucidity. He releases my neck, and sits down infront of me. I make the wound go away, and stand up. Amenei looks satisfied with himself. I yell at him, and demand to know why he attacked me. He replied that he was testing my abilities, and is impressed. He gets up and starts towalk away. I chase after him, but he says that the dream is almost over and that he has no time. As the dream fades, I barely hear him say that "he'll come when I call for him".
nice.

I was walking around, fully lucid, looking for Amenei. (In hopes of getting some questions answered.) For some reason I couldn't summon/find him... Eventually, I found him (of course) sleeping in a patch of grass. I tried to wake him up, but when I touched him my hand caught on fire. I made the fire go out, and woke up.

I was walking in a meadow, and met up with Amenei. At least this time the lazy bum wasn't sleeping... Anyway, I became lucid, and instantly started talking to him. He told me about who he was, and why he was in my dreams. Apparently, he is a "representation of my soul," and is "watching how my dreams play out." (Duh.) After he said that, I woke up.

I was walking in a forest with my older brother, when he was suddenly stabbed in the back by an abnormally tall, pitch black figure. I became lucid in my horror. I instantly summoned my katana and swung, but I was too late an the figure had his knife stuck in my shoulder. I was in intense pain, but didn't lose lucidity. I jumped backwards, and ran foreward to take another swing at him. I connected with his forearm, and it fell to the ground. The figure then erupted in flames, and the forest caught on fire. I could feel the heat. I slashed at his head, but missed as he rolled backwards. I kept attacking, but he threw another knife at me. This one was extremely fast, and it embedded itself in my forehead. My vision darkened, and I fell to the ground as he dragged my brother's corpse away.
