Zukin's Dream Journal! <3

There was a tree in my yard. I was examining it carefully. It was a very strange tree, because it was made out of beads.

I went out to the backyard where I saw a huge, beautiful cliff. The cliff steeply dropped off into a river of black water before coming up again. There were steep stairs leading down into the dark valley, but near the bottom they were submerged by water.

It was beautiful, yet sinister.

I thought about how someone needed to build a bridge to the other side because the stairs were now underwater. There was another guy with me, not sure who he was or my relation to him, that was having a blast jumping off the cliff and into the water. The water was shallow so I was surprised that he wasn't seriously injuring himself.

I got distracted and went off to play an old video game. I was about to get to the interesting part when I get a phone call.

"Hey, you need to get down here. It starts at 5," The man on the other side of the phone whispered.

"What starts at five...?" I asked.

"The Chaos Tasks."

Hmm, play a video game or meet up with a mysterious cultish figure? I chose the latter.

I was summoned to an area with glass doors. So many glass doors! It was like a maze. Trying to find which door was the real one so I could get through this. I followed another guy half way through it before losing him.

I eventually made it to the cave where we were meeting up to do the Chaos Tasks.

There were maybe 8-10 people there. For sure Saltyseedog was there, Nomad was there, and Nephanim was there.

Saltyseedog seemed to be leading the tasks. He was telling us everything that needed to be done. There were about 10 tasks and we could chose the one that we wanted to do. Some were easy. I remember that one of the tasks was "To lay in the river of black water and absorb the darkness".

"But first, it seems like we have another issue to deal with!" Salty yelled out from the cave.

You could see in the black dreamscape sky a satellite emerging and growing. The satellite filled the sky and then broadcasted blue waves to the people walking the streets. As soon as the blue broadcast waves hit them, they instantly turned towards us like zombified dream murderers.

We set out to defend ourselves and kill all of the hypnotized people that were attacking us. I became lucid at this point.

I was having a lot of fun experimenting with fighting styles while trying to defend myself from 4-5 people at once. I rarely get to do this because my lucids are normally too calm and peaceful.

At first I tried a martial arts style of fighting. It worked pretty good. Uppercuts, blocking their advances, and an awesome new kick I invented. I was getting bored of it though, I had many things I wanted to try.

I wanted to try dream magic. I created an invisible energy shield around me while I harvested energy from the attackers around me. When I had enough, I broke through my own shield and exploded with a force field of energy that wiped out any living creature around me.

I now fought the attackers with invisible force. I didn't need to touch them to push them away. It was so easy.

"We have...reinforcements?" I heard Nomad yell. There were people on our side coming to help us, but we didn't know them.

I fought through the masses until I saw something that caught my eye. It seemed to be the leader. She was a woman and snickering at the control that she had. Nomad set her on fire. That made me think about trying to fight with fire.

Nephanim, Nomad, and I met up in a corner of the dreamscape near what looked to be an elevator. Nephanim told us that he had been busy hacking into the computer program that was broadcasting control signals and trying to disable it. We had killed off most of the vicious people.
