Infused Potion
I am on a beach. I recognize the beach right away, it is the beach described in the hypnotic mp3 that I play as I fall asleep each night. I walk along the beach and look out at the water. At first there are a few people around, but I don't pay any attention to them. I keep walking until I see Rumplestiltskin from the Once Upon a Time series. He is holding a vial of potion and has a strange smile on his face. I wonder what he is up to. I can't shake the feeling he is up to something. When I get closer to him he throws the potion to me. I reflexively catch it. He says that's the potion I have been looking for. I ask since when does he give stuff away for free. He says not to worry about that, Q already took care of things. I wonder what Q might have done in order to get me the potion. I decide Q wouldn't have done anything that was too far out of line. Ok, so in order to make the magic of this potion merge into the potion I mixed up in my waking life I need to set it in the exact same place… I can't help but have doubts on if this could work. I have to take the potion to my room. I focus on a portal, but a portal doesn't open. A door appears from nowhere, however. I open the door and it leads to my bedroom. I go in and find the place where I put the waking life version of the potion. There is already a bottle sitting there. When I hold the bottle I got from Rumplestiltskin near the one on the book case, however, the two bottles merge. Well, if it's going to work that should do it. I lie down on my bed and wait to wake up.

Simpsons
I am in a toy store of some kind. I look around and find the store seems to specialize in Simpsons items. I also realize I have no money. But I want to get a present for my friend who is really into the Simpsons. So I find a container of small Simpsons figures and I figure I can help myself to them. They aren't very expensive, and they are small, and the container is on the lower shelf of an aisle in the back. So I dig through the toys and pocket one of each of the Simpsons figures except for Bart.

I am having trouble finding Bart. I keep digging and I finally find Bart. I have just slipped Bart into my pocket when I see the store owner is right behind me glaring at me. Shit. I should've been more careful. He says I have to pay for those. I tell him I have no money, hoping that if I return them and never come back to the store that will be good enough. He doesn't give that as an option. He says I have to work it off. We go to the back and it turns out he has been making pirated Simpsons merchandise. I have to help him make illegal Simpsons rip offs. That or he calls the cops. The fact that calling the cops would be worse for him than for me doesn't occur to me. So I start painting small Simpsons figurines in the appropriate colors. I get bored with the proper colors, and I am painting Bart blue when I wake up.

Once Upon a Beach
I am on a beach. There are a few other people there but they aren't bothering me at all, so I start walking on the beach. It is a very relaxing scene. I soon find I am alone on the beach. The sand is surprisingly soft on my feet. It feels more like flour than sand. I keep going, watching some colorful birds in the sky. I look out over the ocean and see there is one strange person there with me. It looks like Rumplestiltskin from the Once Upon a Time series. I stop for a minute, thinking, then I remember getting a potion from him that was supposed to help with depression. Since it has been an epic failure I wonder if it might have been a scam of some kind. I tell him his potion sucks ass. He says his potion can't possibly work when I want so badly to be depressed. I tell him no one wants to be depressed. He says I do. Otherwise why would I keep bombarding myself with negative comments even if I'm not feeling that way? It's a bad habit. Besides, how would he know about my negative comments? He says if he didn't know before he knows about it now! I just give him a dirty look. He says he has a stronger potion. If I'll stop attacking myself maybe it can work. He takes out a potion that looks like a disgusting black fluid. What the fuck is that? He says it's a concentrated form of the first potion.

He holds it out and then pulls it away. He says nothing is free. I am not in the mood for games. I tell him to fuck himself. He asks if I'm not even going to hear the price before deciding against it. Some prices are very reasonable. I ask what the price is. He seems to think about it for a minute… then says a hair. My first thought is a hare. I summon a rabbit. Not a hare, he says laughing, a hair. My hair. I look around for a bit trying to think of what he could want with my hair. I turn back and see he is right in front of me. He plucks a hair from my head, apparently taking my silence as an agreement. He hands me the potion and slips the hair carefully into a small vial. The potion smells like chocolate. Well that settles that… I drink it… it tastes like liquorish… I hate liquorish… I almost puke it back up. But instead I wake.

Millennium Puzzle
I am at the home of my ex boyfriend James. His apartment doesn't look like I remember it, but I don't pay much attention to that. I see James sitting on his bed trying to assemble a 3d puzzle. When I get closer I realize it is the Millennium Puzzle off of the YuGiOh anime / manga series. He seems to be having some difficulty with the puzzle, and has become quite frustrated. He is trying to cram a piece into a spot where it clearly doesn’t fit. I ask what he is doing. He says if he can just finish the puzzle then he will have control of the spirit that lives within it. I think that would be extraordinarily bad. I am not sure why, but I don't want that to happen. I look at him trying to cram one of the pieces into place. He finally gets one of the pieces right. I think it won't be much longer before he gets all of the pieces. He resumes trying to force a piece to fit where it doesn't belong. I tell him to quit that, he has it all wrong. He says I shouldn't talk unless I can do better. I say maybe I can. Let me give it a shot. He says he doesn't want me to finish the puzzle. It's his puzzle. I ask how about if I finish it except for one piece. He says I can do that. I tell him I'll take the puzzle home and take care of it. He repeats to leave one piece out of the puzzle so he can finish it. I take the puzzle from the room and get in my car to go home. I realize I have no idea where I am, so I pull over and start working on the puzzle. It is easier than I expected. I finish the puzzle and slide the final piece into place. Now James can't finish it. I wonder if there is any reason I should have refrained from finishing… oh, well. It's too late now. I wonder how I am going to get home when I wake up

Pass-Out Drunk
I am at work, in this dream I have found a job and I work in the same tiny office as my mother. It is a very small building that consists of nothing more than one room for the office and one room for a bathroom. There is a small refrigerator, but it contains only drinks. Specifically it contains only beer.

Since there is nothing else to drink my mom and I start drinking beer. I don't really feel any effect, but my mom rapidly becomes drunk. I notice the beer doesn't have much taste to it. Stale beer. My job is to monitor some computer systems even though I have absolutely no idea what they do in such a small building in the middle of nowhere. I am drinking another beer and I find the foam is actually whipped cream… which is even worse. I end up sneaking to the bathroom to dump it since I think I might offend someone by throwing the drink away. When I return to the office I find my mother has disappeared and Rumplestiltskin from Once Upon a Time is now there… wtf? I ask him where my mother is. He said passed out somewhere, she had a bit too much to drink. He asks how the potion has been working. I am completely not lucid and I have no idea what he is talking about. He says this seems to be a bad time and disappears into thin air. I go outside to find my mother but wake up before I find her.

Def Leppard
I am at a concert that I have been waiting for quite a while for. It is a Def Leppard concert, and I am waiting in line for tickets. Unfortunately when I get there I don't have the money for a ticket. Some weirdo behind me offers me money in exchange for a small favor, but I don't want to go wherever his twisted mind might be so I turn him down. He tries to say more to me but I walk away. I sneak into the building anyhow and look for an empty seat. As long as the place hasn't sold out I will be ok. I think I am about to get caught when an usher tells me I'll have to move, but she just directs me to an empty seat. It is in the nose bleed section but at least I got in. I am right on the aisle and the band members are walking down the aisles to the stage. Joe Elliott, the lead singer, walks right past me.

I wait for the concert to get started. Then I realize it already has but I can't hear anything. The sound is really low. People are out of their seats and crowding around the stage in an attempt to hear the music. I wonder what is wrong with the sound system. I manage to get right next to a speaker but it still isn't all that loud. People are getting impatient and most of them leave. Others are wandering around the stadium collecting belongings that have been left behind by impatient fans. Mostly t-shirts that were collected at the concert. I find a couple t-shirts, one of them fits me so I keep it. I am also disappointed in the concert. I am glad I didn't pay money for it! I think Def Leppard are just as disappointed in the sound system, they finally just walk off the stage in frustration. Joe Elliott throws down the microphone as he leaves. I see the weirdo that was behind me in line, he looks dirty. Or like something is wrong with his skin. I'm sure glad I don't owe that guy a favor! I walk away before he can see me, and then I wake up.

Oblivion Assassin
I am in a series of underground chambers, armed with a bow and a quiver of many arrows. I am dressed in my Assassin's Creed outfit and I am creeping through the chambers silently. The chambers look like those found commonly in the video game Oblivion. I see someone in the room up ahead. I know the only people that are in here are bandits. They are after the treasure, too. But they can't be allowed to get it. I silently pull back and release a single arrow. The arrow hits its mark and the target collapses, dead. So I creep farther into the caves. I find the single bandit had been standing over a treasure chest. In the chest I find some gold coins, which I collect and put in my inventory (?) for later use. Continuing deeper into the caves I come across a locked door. This does not give me any problem as I pull out my lock picks to pick the lock. I manage to unlock the hard leveled lock with breaking only one lock pick. Not too shabby. On the other side there is a multi-leveled room. I see a bandit off to the right and a bandit on the lower level. Two arrows take care of that little problem. I am spotted by a bandit off to the left, who apparently isn't nearly as stealthy as I am… he calls out that showing my face was the last mistake I'll ever make. But I am faster with my arrows than he is in approaching me with his axe. The arrow takes him right through the neck; he falls to the ground with blood spurting out. There's another treasure chest here with some gems in it, which I collect. I jump right down to the lower level of the chamber. The bottom shouldn't be much farther. There's another locked door. Did the bandits really think this would keep me out? Well, this time it is almost successful… I break quite a few lock picks before I finally get it. There's a long hall on the other side with glowing crystals embedded in the walls. I follow the passage to the end which is a large circular room. There is a stone that looks like one of the sigil stones floating in the middle of the room. I wonder why the bandits haven't taken it yet. Maybe… I pull out a pouch and scatter dust in the room. There are magical beams in the room that seem to be functioning like the lasers of a security system. I use my acrobatics to maneuver through the beams and get to the stone. When I take the stone it glows brighter and becomes blinding. When the light becomes blinding it actually wakes me up.

Defying a Curse
I am in a small town that looks like a fantasy from a RPG. I walk down the street, looking for some sign of why I might be there. I don't see anything. So I keep walking until I get to the edge of town. I see a commotion going on. There is a rather large man there, he shoves a boy rather hard and knocks the kid to the ground. When the boy tries to get up the man pushes him back down with a foot to the chest. What an asshole! The man is telling the boy to stand up and be a man, stop being such a little… he then cuts off his words in mid sentence. He is staring at someone. I get closer and I see he is staring at Rumplestiltskin from the Once Upon a Time series. The boy, I realize, must be Baelfire, Rumplestiltskin's son. The man is making excuses, saying he didn't realize the boy was the son of the dark one. No harm meant, followed by a nervous laugh. The boy gets up and tells his father he is ok, and wants to just go home. Rumplestiltskin says he wouldn’t be much of a father to let someone get away with doing that to his boy. Baelfire says again that he is fine. The man said it was all in good fun. Fun is a big guy beating up on a kid? Rumplestiltskin says he'll show the man some fun. Baelfire tells his father not to do anything, then reminds him that he promised. I wonder if this is the same one I already tried to help stabilize his energy. When I get close I find out it is the same one when he says quietly to me that my little spell for control doesn't work. I tell him I have another one that should work better, but it is one he will have to do… I can show him how. The man takes Rumplestiltskin's little conversation with me as his chance to leave. Rumplestiltskin has other ideas… vines come from the ground and bind his feet in place. He says again that he was only having fun with the boy, and pisses his pants. I snicker at that, but then I focus on using Unforgiven II by Metallica to transfer use of the song spell The Curse by Disturbed to Rumplestiltskin. That is a song I have used in the past to stabilize my own dark energy. "I've held on too long just to let it go now, will my inner strength get me through this somehow? Defying the curse that has taken hold, never surrender, I'll never be overcome." He uses the song and seems to stabilize, though you couldn't tell by the look on his face when he goes over to the man who pushed his son. The guy is crying… I laugh at that. He seems to expect something horrible, but instead the vines let him go. He runs away over near some other guys who make fun of him for bawling like a little baby. He gets mad at them for not helping him. They say they're not that stupid. Rumplestiltskin tells him not to let that happen again. The man is thanking me for saving him. I tell him I didn't do it for him. Does it make you feel like a big man to push kids around? I call him a cowardly asshole… the only reason I stopped it was because what was going to happen to him shouldn't happen in front of a child, and if it had happened then an important promise would have been broken. If there hadn't been a kid watching… it's here that I wake up.

Curse Sphere
I am in a castle I don't recognize. I look around to see where I am. People are all freaking out, it looks like there is some kind emergency going on. I look out the window to see if I can recognize the location and I see a dark cloud in the distance, it seems to be consuming everything in its path. I immediately know where and when I am. I'm in the Once Upon a Time story, just as the curse was about to reach the castle. I enter the next room and I find Gepetto and his boy next to a closet built into a tree.

I tell him there's no time to explain, but don't send the boy anywhere… I can stop the curse. He looks at me with some doubt. I leave the castle and head in the direction the curse is coming from. I find myself standing on the drawbridge as the cloud is approaching. I focus on the song Blitzkrieg by Metallica, for the part that says "Save us from fate, save us from hate, save ourselves before it's too late…" The song starts a vortex within the cloud that finally pulls the entire thing into a small ball about the size of a marble. The marble drops into my hand, apparently harmless. People behind me are cheering for joy that I was able to stop the curse. Even the areas touched by the curse seem to have been restored to normal.

There is a burst of smoke not far in front of me and a pissed off evil queen materializes. She is going on about how I have ruined everything. I don't bother waiting for her to go on and on, I focus on the song Frozen to heal her heart. The golden energy forms and flows into the queen, seeming to have its intended effect. She seems a bit disoriented, but that is pretty normal. I am figuring my job here is done when another pissed off individual appears. Rumplestiltskin is pretty annoyed. He is getting mad at me and saying there's no way for him to get back to his boy now. I tell him I'll take him to his boy. He's suspicious and asks what the catch is. I tell him no catch. He says all magic comes at a price… what's the price for this? I tell him there is no price, I just want to help. It is clear he won't accept that I would do it for free. We finally agree that he will owe me a favor, with the limitations that the favor cannot put his or his boy's life in danger. I figure I'll never collect anyway. So now that Rumplestiltskin is cooperative I use the song Voices to help him stabilize his energy and then I open a portal while focusing on finding his boy. Unfortunately I wake up here.

Slaves of Darkness
When I get back to sleep I am able to return to the dream. I find I am with a somewhat worried looking Rumplestiltskin in a strange place that I hadn't expected.

It isn't the orphanage I had expected to find Baelfire, who is Rumplestiltskin's son. Instead there is a large open pit mine and there are children working the mine. I wonder who would make them do this. I then see some specters that remind me of dementors floating over the mine forcing the children to work using dark energy whips. I'm not sure what they’re looking for, but I bet it's a good bet they're looking for dark shards. Baelfire ended up here?

That's not good… I get closer to the mine, being careful to stay out of sight. Rumplestiltskin asks if his boy is in that horrible place. I tell him I think so, that's why we were brought there. Let's try to not get their attention and go in the back door.

There is a ventilation shaft in the side of the mountain that is barely large enough for Rumplestiltskin and me to fit through. It opens into a row of prison cells where there are children locked up. They all look sickly. Exposure to dark energy. I use the song Through the Never to open a portal and call to Q.

Q says he'll clean up the dark energy and make sure they all get home. Baelfire is not there. He must be in the mines. So Rumplestiltskin and I make our way to the surface. I disguise us both as specters, which is easier since Rumplestiltskin is already using dark energy. After a short search we find Baelfire, one of the specters standing over him with a whip. Before I can do anything Rumplestiltskin says he will protect his boy and rushes in to do so. Baelfire recognizes his papa, and the cloaked figure says Rumplestiltskin will die slowly. Rumplestiltskin tries to use his powers… the specter brushes it off. He tries again, harder this time, and the specter turns into a cockroach. A pissed off cockroach flits around Rumplestiltskin's face then flies a short distance before running off. Ok, so I am surprised Rumplestiltskin was able to handle a specter… but now many of them are coming. He can't handle all of them. We gather the children in close to us, where they'll be easiest to protect. Then it's time for the big spell.

"Suddenly the unreal silence is broken by a lament, a lament that comes from the deepest, darkest abyss. And from the seven gates of the dark fortress the dead come back to life to face them… this is hell! Immortal fire, now rise, light my heart, light my way through the darkness, a guardian of space and time!" The immortal fire erupts all around Rumplestiltskin, the children, and me, and extends outward, incinerating specters that make contact with it. Even as the fire spreads I open a portal to Q, so he can take the children out… all but Baelfire, who won't let go of his papa. No matter… I can get the three of us out of there. The fire is dying down, so I lead them through another portal and back to their home world. Baelfire seems both glad and disappointed to be home, though Rumplestiltskin promises him things will be different. Baelfire assumes he lost the power somehow… but that's not true, but Rumplestiltskin says he feels more in control of it. Things will be different. He looks at me strangely. I don't have a chance to say anything before I wake up. It looks like a happy ending for all.

It has been since forever since I have posted any dreams. Today I finally felt like journaling again. Hopefully this is the first of many posts to come.

At The Market
I am in a market place that looks like something I might expect to find in a small Arabian village.

There are numerous people shopping, selling their wares, and I notice that the sun is setting in the west. I am looking at the different shops, looking to find some explosives hidden in one of the shops that is set to kill a lot of people. I am looking through the shops as the sun sets and it gets dark and the lights come on around the market. I am thinking there is no way I will find the explosives in time. But then I finally do. They are disguised as dolls at one of the shops. I wonder if the shop keeper knows that they're explosive or if he just thinks they are dolls. I think I just need to dispose of them. I collect them all and buy them. Now to get them out of here before they blow up. I carry them… there are five of them… to the edge of the market where I am confronted by several men with guns. I dive for cover as they are shooting at me. I think it is amazing that I didn't get hit. I think I should be covered now, but they are still shooting. I do get hit now… but the bullets don't cause any pain. I think that is odd, too. I slip off deeper into the brush, and find an enclosed area of rock where I don't think the bombs will hurt anyone. I keep expecting to be shot at. Then I woke.

Tears of Darkness
I am outside a big house. The front door is standing open and I hear a woman crying inside. I go inside to see what might be wrong. I follow the sound upstairs to the bedroom where I find Regina from the series Once Upon a Time on her bed crying.

I ask her what is wrong. She looks up and quickly wipes the tears away as if she thinks she can hide the fact she was crying. She asks what I am doing in her house. I tell her the door was open and I heard crying, so I wanted to know if I could help. She says she doesn't need any help. And she doesn't know why I'm offering it anyhow. I figure there's no point in arguing with her, so I go right into the spell song Frozen. Golden energy forms around Regina, which seems to take her by surprise. She says in an awed manner that the magic is working… but how? I don't pay any attention to her reaction, I just continue focusing on the spell. The golden energy flows into Regina. When the song is over she is just staring at me. She looks out the window and says she isn't angry any more… I say that is good. She says it's too late, they already know who she is… they'll never believe things could be different. She said she didn't even believe things were different. I tell her that I'll spread some positive energy so everyone will be a bit more receptive to the idea of giving her another chance. So now I go out the window and fly over the town of Storybrook, focusing on the song Voices to cover the area in positive energy. No one will be able to be angry with this energy around. I am just reaching the far side of town when I wake up.

Let's Make a Deal
I am in a forest, wandering around. I stop to look around and I see a strange man has appeared from nowhere. He is rather unattractive… or at least there is something wrong with his skin. He identifies himself as Rumplestiltskin, and says I have been looking for him. My first thought is he is trying to make a pass at me… but then I remember the Rumplestiltskin from Once Upon a Time.

I remember that my goal was to stabilize his dark energy so as to avoid the situations where he acts like an asshole. He asks what he can do for me. I say there is nothing I need, this is about something I can do for him. He looks like he is feigning surprise. He asks exactly what I can do for him. I pause a minute, and that is too long, he says he wants to discuss what he can do for me. He pulls out a small vial of a glowing purple liquid. Overcome by curiosity I ask what it is. He asks if I ever considered what it would be like if my depression just went away. I said that is impossible… and anyway, what does he know about my depression? This isn't about me, it's about you! I reach out with my mind to sense his energy, he is using dark energy, which I already knew. And it is pretty unstable… though nowhere near as bad as it can get. This should be easy to balance it out. He waves the potion in my face. He says he knows more about my situation than I may think. I figure this is going nowhere, so I will just use one of my balancing songs. He says all magic has a price, points at my heart. Before I can stop myself I blurt out that my magic isn't what did that. Someone else did that and I wish he would… but then I cut myself off. Why the fuck am I telling this to Rumplestiltskin?! I say I'm not going there. He suggests I want this 'him' to die a horrible death, to meet extreme misfortune… I say no, I'm not going there. I am finding he is a bit annoying. He says now it's time to talk about the potion. He waves it in my face again. I say many have tried to get rid of my negativity… none have succeeded. He says he has never tried. He says the potion is mine if I do him a favor. What favor? Take him to wherever his boy is. He says he is sure I know about his son, and he wants to see him again, and he knows I can do it. He can see I'm a traveler. Well I figure I was likely to do that anyhow… and stabilize his energy at the same time… so I say I will take him to his son. I open a portal and use Avalon to find his son. A portal opens and we both go through it. On the other side there is small house. I wonder what that is. I get closer. It is an orphanage. There are some kids outside playing. One of them stops and looks over. He calls out, "Papa! You came!" He runs over and the two of them hug. I focus on Voices, using the calm music to help stabilize Rumplestiltskin's energy. It is working. I can see this new world has not had the effect of removing the power… but now it is stable. He seems pleased with the outcome and tosses me the glowing potion, saying he is keeping his end of the deal. I look at the potion. It's supposed to clear out all my depression. Not likely. But what if… I open the bottle and smell it. Rumplestiltskin says it won't work unless I drink it. Is it safe? It doesn't matter… this is a dream. I drink the potion. It tastes like grapes. Yum. I wake up.

I am at my friend Alicia's house, and we are watching a movie. It is one of the Harry Potter movies, but I don't recognize which one. The setting is in some kind of swamp, and I don't recognize the place at all. The situation is that Harry, Ron, and Hermione have found and destroyed all the horcruxes except for the one in Nagini. So in the movie we are watching Harry, Ron, and Hermione sludge through a swamp in search of Nagini, who has a horcrux inside. I decide to take a break and get a snack, so we pause the movie and I go into the kitchen for a snack. I find there are some chocolate cupcakes out there, and I help myself to one. I step out the back door to enjoy the warm weather, but everything around me changes. I find I am now in the swamp out of the Harry Potter movie.

I turn around and see there is no sign of Alicia's house, so I start looking around the swamp. I realize I have a wand, and now I must be in the Harry Potter movie somehow. I decide to see if I can find any of the people from the movie, maybe kick Voldermort's ass. As I am making my way through the dark swamp I see something moving. It's a big snake! I use a stun spell on the snake, figuring there's no need to go off killing the wildlife. The snake is stunned, so I continue searching. I hear voices up ahead, so I follow the sound. I find what I was looking for. Voldemort and Wormtail are talking quietly to each other.

Apparently I made too much noise. Voldermort turns towards me and attacks me, using a death curse. I deflect that with a Whiplash spell, which clearly surprises him. He does some kind of spell that appears to use Wormtail as a sacrafice in order to give himself more power. I see him absorb the life energy out of Wormtail, who is knocked backwards by the force of the spell. His wand goes flying, and I grab that telekinetically. So now I have two wands! Voldemort casts another death spell at me at the same time as I use both wands to cast Battery, sending lightning bolts from both of them. The three beams meet in the middle with a bright flash of sparks and fire. I get the idea that the two blasts of lightning might be more powerful combined, so I cross the streams… I can't help but think of Ghostbusters when I do that… and the two beams of lightning intertwine to form one. The wands become hard to hold steady, vibrating with a life of their own, but I manage to hold it stable. The combined lightning bolts overpower Voldemort's spell, forcing the entire ball of fire and lightning back to Voldemort where there is a large explosion, and Voldemort is incinerated. Right then there is a flash of white light and then I am back in Alicia's back yard. I go back into the house to see if Alicia is still there, and it turns out she has continued watching the movie without me. She says that ending never gets old… Voldemort go boom!

I am in what looks like a huge and luxurious mansion. It is a bit in disrepair, but still looks like it is overall good condition. Just a bit dirty and dusty. The walls are lined with shelves that display collections of various objects. I don't remember a lot of the items on the shelves, just that they struck me as interesting at the time. The items I do remember are collectible toys that are still mint in package, I think to myself that my ex boyfriend James would have loved to take a look around this place. I have the idea I am looking for a very special item, a treasure of some kind. I don't have a clear image of the treasure I am looking for, but I am confident I will know the treasure when I see it.

I meet someone in the house also looking for the same treasure, and I realize I have been seeking the treasure with MoSh helping me. He says he hasn't yet found the treasure. I see something moving out of the corner of my eye. Is it another person helping us? No, it is most certainly a zombie. This old mansion is a perfect place for zombies to be roaming. I lead MoSh to the next room without alarming him about zombies.



This room is filled with old books on more old shelves. It is pretty cool, actually. I would like to look through some of the old books, but I am certain there are still zombies stalking us. MoSh suggests the treasure might be buried in the back yard. I tell him we can go check, glad for a reason to get out of the house full of zombies. We leave the library just as I see movement of something entering the room behind us.

MoSh and I pass through a kitchen and into what I am assuming is the back yard. He has suggested we dig, but I have no shovel. And in addition to that, the back yard is huge. There are many trees, and it is dark outside. I wonder how we are supposed to find anything in all that. I think maybe we should find a shovel first. I see a tool shed not far away, so we both head that way. MoSh is looking around nervously. I also feel like we are being stalked. Are there more zombies out here? Of course there are! They wouldn't stay in the house, they would follow us outside to catch us. I look around for any sign of the zombies I can feel watching us. And since MoSh also seems to notice something, I know for a fact it's not just my imagination.



MoSh and I are heading towards the tool shed when I hear something behind us, between us and the house. We've been cut off from shelter. I hear more things off to the side. Am I being paranoid, or are they real? I look to MoSh for some kind of confirmation, but he says nothing. I'm not sure if he even is aware of my presence any more, he is looking around a lot as if he also knows we are being followed. I tell him we need to defend ourselves. I don't get any response. Has MoSh become a zombie? I don't know what I'll do if he has become a zombie… but I don't need to figure that out since I wake.

Movies at Home
I am in my own house, it is pretty late at night. There are no lights on, but there's light being emitted by the large screen television in the living room. I go into the room and look at the TV. It seems bigger than I remembered it being… I see there are quite a few people sitting around the TV, all the seats on the couch are filled, both chairs, and there are a few people sitting on the floor. I see my friend Alicia sitting to the left of the TV, and she is making out with some guy I don't know. I don't want to interrupt. I see another friend Tigress off to the right side of the TV, but she is making out with Silver Wolf. I don't want to interrupt them, either. There is a guy sitting almost directly in front of the TV by himself, just watching the movie. I go over and sit down beside him. I look at the movie and I see it is something I don't recognize. I also have the idea it is something I have no interest in. I look over at the guy to my left. I see that he has long silvery hair that seems to shine in even the minimal light of the room. He must have sensed me watching him because he looks over at me. It's Sephiroth! I sit there and stare at Sephiroth for a bit, drawing a strange look from him. I am about to say something to him to explain my rudeness, but before I can he surprises me by pulling me over to him and kissing me full on the lips! I ignore the movie and make out with Sephiroth.


Locked Away
I am in a prison cell of some kind. I have no idea how I got to be there, all I can think of is how my mother is going to react when she finds out I got myself arrested. I have the idea I haven't even gotten to make my one phone call or talk to my lawyer… what is going on here? I try to think of what I might have done to end up in prison. Someone across the hall is yelling rather rude things at me, I choose to ignore him. He is just another prisoner, and probably has no more idea why I am here than I do. Even if he does, he is clearly too rude to help me out. I hear him saying something about magic… about me doing magic to get out of here? Why not? I think for a bit and finally a Harry Potter spell comes to mind… Alohamora. I use that spell on the locked door and I hear a click as the lock disengages. I am about to leave when I hear someone coming. The guy across the hall seems to think the guards are coming to execute me, though I seriously don't think I am in here for anything that serious. I probably got caught stealing something. Unless, of course, I broke in somewhere to steal something and there was a murder that just happened to have taken place at that same scene which I was also being accused of… The guards arrive and someone is complaining that there is a prisoner in this cell, so I step back. Apparently they weren't coming for me after all. So after they're gone, I'll leave. There is a strange old man there who seems to know me, he claims to be the emperor. Emperor? What does he think this is, a game of Oblivion? It turns out that is exactly what he thinks. He says he is Uriel Septim. Um… am I in a game of Oblivion? Cool! I guess I didn't get arrested at all, I just entered a virtual reality so realistic that I forgot it was a game! Harry Potter spells work in Oblivion? I figure it must be a mod. The emperor and the guards leave through the secret exit and I follow them, thinking Oblivion is going to be awesome in virtual reality, but then I wake.

04/10/12

Note: It has been a long time since I have posted any dreams. I have been sooooo depressed lately that all I have really wanted to do is crawl into a hole and fall asleep and never wake up. I think it is lifting a bit, so I decided to go ahead and post these dreams.

Maze Hunter
I am in a suit of futuristic armor and in a futuristic looking underground facility. The facility is laid out like a maze, and I am there to hunt some creatures, some violent creatures that have been killing randomly both in the facility and on the surface around the facility. Killing indiscriminately. They have to be stopped. I am walking down a long hall with flickering lights giving it a rather creepy feel, like the facility hasn't been in use recently. I hear movement up ahead, I look at a scanner on my wrist to confirm it is one of the enemies and not an ally. I cautiously approach a turn in the passage where I know the enemy is just around the corner. I manage to surprise the enemy by jumping around the corner and firing my weapon before he can react. My weapon is a laser blaster that is about the size of a shotgun, and it emits a blast of fire that blasts the enemy apart. I can see through the broken parts of the armor that the enemy is reptilian in nature, I am wondering if it is of a race I have encountered in the past called Reptizars. I'm not sure, usually they don't need any armor beyond what is offered by their scales. I hear something behind me and turn just in time to dive out of the way as another of the enemy fires at me. I dive down a side passage, rolling over quickly onto my back and waiting for the enemy to appear. I don't see anything… what is that thing up to? I am sure he will come around the corner at any time, but before he does, I wake up.


To The Races
I am in my own car, the car I have in my waking life, which is a red Dodge Neon. I am driving down a street quickly, intent on getting to a race track where I have been entered to race… in my Neon. There is a special race going on at the race track where whoever feels like entering and has a non-modified street car can race for prizes. I think I probably don't have much chance entering with a Neon, but someone else has entered me and I am not going to back out. I figure there will probably be some other amateurs there with cars even worse for racing than my Neon. Right now I am racing on the freeway just to get there before it is too late, before I miss the start of the race.


Mad Monkey Inn
I am in a hotel of some kind, I have a job there. I am taking the key cards from people as they check out and leave the hotel to go on their way. It seems many of the visitors are disgruntled, and cranky upon leaving. Also I notice that several of them look like they have been bitten or scratched, like they have been attacked by a wild animal of some kind. I look around and see an ad on the wall that says each visitor to the hotel gets their own monkey to sleep with for the night. Not a stuffed monkey, a real live spider monkey. I think that is really strange. A man comes from the rooms area with a particularly cranky monkey. The monkey is clearly trying to bite and scratch the man, I wonder what is going on there. Have monkeys been injuring all the guests? The man stops by me and says no one told him the monkeys wake up so cranky in the morning. He says he should sue this dump. He hands over his key, then shoves the cranky monkey into my hands as well. He leave in a huff, but I pay very little attention to him since I am now trying to keep the monkey from biting me in the face. I am holding the monkey at arm length and I am not sure what to do with him now. After all, I haven't even been trained to handle the monkeys!


Hawaii 5-O
I am with Steve McGarrett from Hawaii 5-O. We are trying to gather evidence against a cop we both know is dirty, but so far we have been unable to prove it. Alicia is there with us, and I go with Alicia to check in one direction. Alicia spots a couple of gang bangers and proceeds to flip them the bird. I wonder why she did that. They get pissed and come after us. Alicia disappears quickly, and I hide myself behind some dumpsters in an alley. I meet up with Steve just as the gang bangers catch up with me. Steve kicks one of their asses, I fight and manage to beat the other one into submission. The dirty cop is there, too, presumably there to get a payoff or something. But there is still no evidence. Steve takes the cop's gun and shoots each of the gang bangers, killing them. He hands the gun back to the dirty cop, who is standing there looking stunned. Steve says we had better leave, the rest of the gang will be coming. Steve beats on the cop for a bit and then we disappear. Steve says when the rest of the gang finds the cop over their dead friends, they won't hesitate to tear the cop into so many pieces that we'll never find all of them.


Darkness Below
I am at the public library and I realize I have to go to the bathroom, so I look around to see if there is anyone around that looks like they might steal my computer while I'm away. I see no issues so I head into the bathroom. There is no one in there so I choose an empty stall to do my business in. I sit down and do my business, and I am about ready to get up when I hear a strange noise outside the stall. It doesn't sound like a person, it sounds more like an oozing mass of something crossing the floor… and the smell of raw sewage reaches my nose. Yuck! One of the other toilets must be backing up. Gross! I look at the floor to see if I can see any sewage coming from the other stalls… but what I see is that the ground is suddenly all cracked and covered in mold. Yuck! How could I not have noticed when I entered that the bathroom was this disgusting? Black ooze is coming up from the cracks. It seems to be alive. I step out of the stall, there is something really gross happening. The mirrors are all broken in the bathroom, and there is black ooze also coming from cracks in the wall. I head over to the door, which is also covered with black sludge. A humanoid form is stepping from the sludge, human in shape, with a huge gaping and dripping mouth that is emitting a long groan like a zombie. The thing reaches for me, and reflexively I use the spell Damage, Inc. to throw a fireball at the thing. The spell works, and the thing bursts into flame as if it was made out of oil and is very flammable. The room is quickly engulfed in flames, completely surrounding me, but then I wake.

Countdown
I am in a space ship of some kind, and I am holding a very small explosive device. In spite of its small size, I know it will pack a lot of power if it is allowed to explode. I am trying to disarm the bomb, which is quite difficult considering the size and the fact that one wrong move will make it explode. I am moving a tiny wire carefully through a conduit when I accidently touch the wire to the side of the conduit… and BOO… no… I immediately load a "save game" from before the bomb exploded. Basically I go back in time a few minutes to try again. This time I am successful and I disarm the bomb. I hear someone laughing on the communications screen. There is a man there saying it did me no good, he has another bomb. He holds it up to show me, and it is an identical bomb to the one I just disarmed. He is being quite careless with it. He is shaking it in my face when it goes off. The screen goes blank, and I know the idiot just blasted himself into subatomic particles.

Fight Night
I am in an underground are where I am investigating a ring of illegal extreme fighters. They are known for getting fighters off the street and having them fight to the death. Some of the fighters are there of their own free will, others are coerced and forced into it. I am watching a fight, and one of the two combatants punches the other one in the face. The punch is so hard that I can both see and hear that the man's jaw isn't just broken, but shattered. I get in the way before the attacker can finish the job by killing the injured man. The man asks me what the fuck I think I'm doing, this is no place for a woman, get out of the way! I tell him if I can kick his ass, he has to let the other man live. He laughs at me and says if that happens, he'll give up fighting for good. I don't think he really expects me to try it… but I do. I fight the man, using the extra strength and martial arts skill I have in the dream state. And I kick his ass solidly. He and all the audience are stunned, clearly they had all set bets against me. I go over and heal the man with the broken jaw, he says he just wants to get home to his family. He leaves quickly. The crowd is still staring at me, stunned, when I wake up.

Hawaii Five-O
I am on a beach in what seems to be Hawaii, or at least it looks like the setting of Hawaii 5-O. Complete with Steve and Danny right there with me. I am staring at Steve, who is Alex O'Loughlin, and he is sooooo hot! I'm not sure what has happened to me, but it seems I am in need of having an IV hooked up to me. Danny is the one doing that, and I notice that the needle hardly hurts at all when he puts it in. I am then given the bag of stuff that has to be put into my body. I don't know what it is, but the fluid is red. It looks like red Kool-Aid. I am not paying much attention to that, just holding it up as Danny has instructed me, and I am staring at Steve. He is shirtless. I wonder if I might be drooling.


Sephiroth
I won't go into detail about this one, but I wanted to make note of the fact I had one of the most intense and memorable sex dreams ever! It was a hot and wild one with Sephiroth!


Midnight Storm
I am at the house I used to live in about 15 years ago, and I am sitting at my computer writing a program for a game. I am looking at the code on the screen and trying to find the source of an error. Outside, a thunderstorm is raging on. The thunder is so loud it really sounds more like bombs falling outside the house. It sounds so realistic that I finally get up from my seat and look out the back door, which has a nice view of the city below. I half expect to see the city in flames with bombs falling and exploding. Of course it is fine, and there are spectacular bolts of lightning flashing through the night. I look at the time, it is almost 1:00 in the morning. My mom will be home soon, though I don't remember where she has gone at this time of night. But she will come home hungry. I set to making some breakfast sandwiches. The sandwiches consist of toast with a light layer of mayo, a fried egg, a couple strips of bacon, and a small pancake. I make up two sandwiches for each of us. My mom comes in just as I am finishing. I go to cut one of the sandwiches in half with a knife but I discover it has already been cut. Did my mom do that, or did I do it without really thinking about it?

02/16/12

Note: I have not posted any dreams for quite a while… and that is because I haven't had any recall at all for quite a while. It has been getting very frustrating, and I really hope my recall improves soon. Combined with not having any recall, I have also been busy with homework from school and a new job. That's why my resolution to post something every day has gotten pushed aside. Well, I have finally been able to recall a dream. It's not much, but right now I am willing to take anything I can get!

Tunnels of Madness
I am in what appears to be an underground tunnel of some kind. The tunnel is perfectly circular and is made out of a metallic substance. There is a band of light going down the tunnel, four of them. One of the lights is directly overhead, I am standing on a second, and there are lights to the right and left of me. The tunnel looks very strange, and I can't remember how I got to be here. Somehow this doesn't trigger a reality check, though. I walk down the tunnel, which seems to go on forever. Sometimes it curves to the left or right, and it does so often enough that I become really disoriented. I am wondering if the tunnel is ever going to end. The quality of the lighting changes… it is now flashing, now it looks like little balls of light are zooming down the sides of the tunnel. That is even more disorienting, they are going in such a pattern that makes it seem like the tunnel is spinning. That makes me feel like I might vomit. Instead, however, I wake up.

02/07/12

Note: I haven't posted dreams for quite a few days due to the fact I have been sick. I started out last Thursday by tossing my cookies and I haven't felt good since. So some of these dreams are fragments from when I was sick which means they might make even less sense than they often do… which is saying something! It seems that when I am sick to my stomach I start dreaming about food… which makes things worse! >.< I hope to get back to posting dreams regularly now.

02/02/12: Food Poison
I am in a game of Oblivion, looking around for stuff to steal, specifically I am looking for food and potion ingredients to steal since once I make a potion out of them they will no longer be flagged as stolen. So I steal a bunch of ingredients, make a bunch of potions, and sell them. In Cyrodiil, crime DOES pay! So I pick up some ingredients from a house I just broke into, I decide to eat a couple of them since that will also boost my alchemy experience level… I'm not sure of the reasoning behind that one… I eat some bread, cheese, and lettuce. I steal more food and leave. I eat a sweet cake for dessert and wash it down with an ale. I am heading for another place to get more ingredients when I start feeling yucky. Sick, like I might puke. This feeling wakes me up, but I am able to ignore it and I fall back asleep right away.

Back in Cyrodiil, I am still stealing food, and I am still feeling sick. I wonder if somehow the stolen food is tainted. I wonder if the fact the food is flagged as stolen makes it tainted somehow… eating stolen food will make me sick while eating the same food not stolen won't make me sick. That idea seems absurd, but to counter the sick feeling I go into a shop and buy some food and eat it. That only makes me feel worse… and I wake up again… this time I get up and toss my cookies.

02/03/12: My Ex-Boyfriend Wants to Eat WHAT???
I am playing Oblivion on my laptop computer, and I realize my ex boyfriend is in the room with me. He is watching me play Oblivion, and I am collecting ingredients for potions. I collect a piece of mudcrab meat from a dead mudcrab. James says that looks like it would taste good with chocolate syrup. Yuck… I collect some more ingredients and James now says he wants to eat venison with chocolate syrup. Yuck again. I tell him that sounds gross. He says not if you put it in a blender and mix it up with some eggplant and the crab meat and maybe a bit of split pea soup… he is starting to gross me out. Just listening to him makes me feel nauseous. He says if I throw up he wants to keep it… nothing mixes ingredients together better than a human stomach. Now I think I am definitely going to puke… I wake feeling ill, but fortunately I don't toss my cookies this time.


02/04/12: Keep Eating, Pig!
I am sitting at a dinner table that is piled high with everything yummy I can think of, so many sweets I can't count it all. All of it is stuff I really shouldn't eat on my diet. Chocolate cake, ice cream, pies, more cakes, candy… so much of it! I think I want to cheat on my diet a bit, so I eat a cupcake. There is a voice speaking to me that I can't locate the source of. The voice tells me to eat all I want, these sweets are calorie free! Yay! So I eat a piece of chocolate cake and a piece of lemon meringue pie. I am now quite pleasantly full. I get up to leave the table, but some force pushes me back in the chair and says I'm not done yet. Eat everything! Um… that is way too much for me to eat at one time. I tell the voice that. It keeps saying to eat. I finally eat a bit more, but that makes me feel sick. I say if I eat more I'll puke. The voice says good, go ahead and puke! I wake up feeling sick, but I don't toss my cookies.


02/05/12: No Dreams
Note: Today was one of the first days my stomach was feeling better, so I was able to sleep through the whole night… it must have been a deep sleep, as I didn't remember having a single dream.

02/06/12: Weave Spell
I am in a concert hall, and I am wandering through the place just exploring. I see there is a band I don't recognize playing there, but I do recognize the lead singer. It is Bret Michaels from the band Poison. I am surprised to see him there when I don't recognize the group. I discover, and this doesn't seem odd to me, that I can step sideways and move through dimensions, just slide from one to the next. I do that and the band changes. Bret Michaels seems to slide, too. He appears and keeps singing. Is he also a traveler? I side step through several more worlds, and he follows. I go outside of the concert hall and I find there are trees around, and it is night. I don't see Bret Michaels now. I hear someone approaching. Just a bit too late I get the feeling I don't want to be seen. An old man and an old woman emerge from the trees with a shotgun. The man points the shotgun at me. I grab it by the barrels… it's a double barrel… and I bend the gun like it's made of paper. I hear some strange chants coming from the trees, from all around. "Weave spell, inerevum sancotatum, weave spell," it says over and over. The gun is changing forms in my hand, responding to that chant. It is trying to reform around my hand and aim at me again. I block that effect, but I seem to be in a contest of wills with the unseen spell caster. I am still doing that when Bret Michaels comes out of the concert building and plays guitar for a bit… which causes the elderly couple to retreat into the trees.


02/07/12: Unconscious Theft
I am at school, though it isn't one of the classes I am taking in waking life. I am taking notes in a notebook, writing down as fast as I can to keep up with the instructor. When the class ends I get up to go get something to eat. I head down to the cafeteria and buy a burger, fries, and a drink. I am sitting at the table eating when someone from my class comes over and is pissed off. I wonder why. I then see that I have their backpack and purse sitting beside me. I don't even remember picking that stuff up… when did I do that? She wants to know why I have her stuff, which is a logical thing to wonder. I am thinking that if I tell her I have no clue, and I don't remember picking it up, that will sound like a lie… so I tell a lie. I say she left it behind, and I was holding on to it for her so no one else would steal it. I add that if I hadn't run into her again I would have taken it to lost and found. She doesn't seem to believe me. She says she left it in the classroom because we have another class there later today, I know that! Now give the stuff back! She takes the stuff and leaves in a huff. I realize I do have to go to the class again today, but I don't really want to go to class with that person who clearly thinks I stole her stuff intending to keep it. And the fact is I have no idea why I stole her stuff, I don't even remember doing it. So I am considering ditching today.

Game Analysis 101
I am in school, it seems to be a game design class. Everyone is talking about some video games and comparing them. I am paying some attention, but I feel quite tired and I also feel like falling asleep. My eyelids are heavy and I close them just enough to rest them. I drift to sleep, and then I get poked by the person next to me. I look and I see that my ex-boyfriend is in the class with me, and he has poked me to wake me up. I stay awake long enough to hear everyone is now discussing Oblivion, and how it compares to Fallout 3. The subject of Skyrim comes up as the instructor asks if anyone has played that and how it compares. James says all of them blow ass. I comment he wouldn’t know a good game if it bit him. He gives me a strange look, maybe says something, but I am again drifting off to sleep. My eyes close and then I wake up.

Cats!
I am in a place I don’t recognize, it is a house, and it is a big one. I have no thought that I’m not supposed to be there, I am just wandering around and exploring. I enter a bedroom and see an adorable tabby cat on the bed. How cute! I turn to leave the bedroom and I almost trip over a tortie cat right behind me. Wow… where did you come from? I pat the kitty and head down the hall towards the bathroom. In the bathroom I find there is no human toilet, but there are four cat pans lined against the far wall. Am I supposed to use the cat pan? Even if I wanted to, they are all occupied. There is a cat doing business in each one and also three more cats patiently waiting in line. Wow… 7 more cats! I pat the last one in line and head out to find a human bathroom. I don’t find another bathroom, but I find my way back to the living room. I go to sit on the couch but I am warded off by a hiss. I almost sat on a cat! I look and see there are seven cats crowded onto the seat of the couch, all lying around each other. There are three more cats on the back of the couch and a cat on each arm. 12 more cats! I mentally count cats and realize I have found 21 cats so far. I turn from the couch and almost fall on my face as I realize I am about to step on a cat’s tail and I move awkwardly to avoid doing that. 22 cats… I wake up with a single cat purring beside me.
