      had a frag about taking some pictures of some monkeys that were on trees.

      tried for a WILD....got into a scene once momentarily. I remember being on some futuristic planet...in a cave. I got back to that same exact scene twice, but I couldn't enter the dream.

    2. Flying wth planes

      by , 09-14-2010 at 01:52 PM (Images In The Night)
      I had alot of nonlucids and alot of missed signs that i was in a dream. But i did have one lucid. I'll put it in blue, but its really short.
      Lucidity-5
      Vividness-6
      I'm flying in the air and realize, hey i'm flying. Nose RC. First goal as always is moon, but i cant get above the clouds, so i decide to mess with a plane thats nearby. I grab on the the back of it as it flys by. I start crawling up it. Dream skips. I'm now pointing down at the planet destroying stuff, i'm still minorly lucid, but its not enough.

      I had several non lucids, so i'll just give a brief summary of the ones i can remember.

      A large party across a bridge. I remember a woman singing, and its hard to describe, but i just remember some sort of secret plot there.

      Another slight zombie dream. Every time i had a double cheeseburger, a zombie would come attack me. During one attack, i didn't have a weapon and had to fight back. It was hand to hand combat with a zombie. Bullshit. My friend was there and didn't help. Bastard.

      I was at my dads house, but it belonged to my moms boyfriend. I don't know why. Weird

    3. Night of 9/13-9/14

      by , 09-14-2010 at 01:30 PM (SCPantera's Dream Journal)
      Two dream tonight, but unfortunately after waking from the first one I was way too tired to get up and write some notes. All I can remember now was a brief scene where I was up on MS5C (I recall walking down the northwest hallway of the wing towards and around the main nurse's station), only there was some other reason that I was there that had nothing to do with hospitals.

      In the longer dream, I was the leader of a group of fighters. There were maybe five or six of us staying in a room, but for some reason the room we were staying in was in the back of a biker gang's bar. Most of them left to pillage or something, but there was one that stayed behind; he burst into our room and started trying to attack us. There were more of us than him though, so we were able to hold him down and take turns beating him up. Somehow he managed to get loose and escape, just as the rest of the biker gang was returning. We were trying to figure out what to do now; one of our guys was small enough to get out the window, so we told him to go send word to our allies, but after he escaped he just waited outside for us to come out as well. The bikers managed to burst into the room again, but there was no immediate fighting. Instead, the leader came to the front and acted menacing. They grabbed one of my guys and were getting ready to torture him. We were hesitant to fight back at first, but as they were about to drive a nail through my comrade's hand I counterattacked. We all managed to fight our way to the door, despite overwhelming numbers of burly bikers, and we escaped and then scattered to regroup later to the north with our camp. I headed south at first, but then doubled back north to meet up with my group's camp (which was in kind of a swampy forest area), where we prepared a small force to invade southwards towards the area where the bikers' bar was.
    4. Sick

      by , 09-14-2010 at 09:39 AM (Lucid-schizo-dreamer)
      I've been ill the past few days, with a flu or something like that.
      I am very frustrated because it affected my dreams. All I recalled during these days were 2 or 3 fragments, not even worth being posted. It's awful.
      Hope to recover soon the dream recall and the lucid dreaming. This situation sucks.

    5. Wickedly intense dream inspired a novel idea.

      by , 09-14-2010 at 07:58 AM (The Mind is Power; My Dream Journal)
      I've been scrapping around for ideas to begin some creative writing and I had this dream last night and it was awesome and actually gave me some ammo to start writing again.

      My dream opens up with me playing football in my living room. I keep going out for passes but dropping them. Finally I demand one grown to me and I go up for it and get destroyed but almost catch it.

      I dreamt that Leah and i were hanging out in our house when Caleb and Sasha came over. For some reason when they knocked Marc answered and told them I busy. I ran past him and let them in.

      Immediately i could tell something was wrong. Caleb looked agitated. He asked me immediately why I hadn't been taking his companies phone calls or emails or paying my bill on the new grill I bought. I told him I hadn't bought one and that I don't know what he's talking about. He seems reluctant to believe me but he eventually seems to. Sasha leaves and I head back to the bedroom to explain to Leah what happened. Caleb says he is going to use our restroom but I don't hear or I ignore him.

      So then for some reason I start explaining to Leah the issue and that something is very wrong. I'm suspicious of Caleb and I tell her so, loudly. I hear the bathroom toilet flush and curse at myself thinking he may have heard me. So I walk out to the living room with a small bat in my hands and nonchalantly confront him. He ends up leaving but I know it isn't for good.

      And then I know that I have to do something. Some sort of test or the consequences will be terrible. Leah walks into the dining room and sits on the floor only to cut herself on a toothpick. She insists it's no big deal.

      There's a dream time jump and suddenly I'm with a group of people but I know we are in the alternate world. I know that while here we have to perform a certain number of tasks before we head back. If we head back without finishing them then people will die. One of these tasks is for a man to slowly flip cards on a wall. I watch as he does it and I'm struck by a flash of images. In an other world every time a cars flips this demon gets stronger. I demand he flip them back. As he flips them back the images flash again but it's of the demon turning less and less dangerous.

      I then turn around to keep track of the other people with me and it's then that I realize the double edge sword of having more allies with me. With more people there's a better chance of failure. While I'm looking around I'm trying to keep track of where Caleb is. I'm sure he has something to do with everything going on.

      For some reason I'm holding a saber and I realize that it truly isn't real so I set it aside. I see a scimitar hanging in the air and I snag it. It feels pleasantly heavy. Real. I put it through my belt loop and continue my rounds. I return back to this big conference room and ask of everyone if they are ready and absolutely positive they finished their tasks. I'm sweating and freaking out but everyone says yes.


      And then Mike and I are pulling up to Kyles house. He is the drummer for SIB. I pull into a gravel road that splits the collection of houses down the middle. It's dark out. The lights are on in the house but something feels off so Mike agrees to go check it out while I wait in the car. He does. I wake up.
      I've pretty much figured out that I'm able to have my most clear dreams within my last two hours or so of sleep. So perhaps I should WBTB then...

    6. DJ Recall

      by , 09-14-2010 at 07:33 AM
      I walking down this busy road, and the old women came up to me and handed the leash over to this really big dog she was holding. Suddenly it escaped, or maybe I didn't grab the leash properly and sprinted into the middle of the road and was almost hit by a big car. I then ran across the road and grabbed the dog. I feel really bad that I had almost got someones dog killed, I felt very guilty and sad.

      I was with one of my friends Kilian and we were running up an escalator to the movie cinema. He told me he really wanted to watch the movie "Lost", and I told you that we could simply go home and watch it on TV. Next thing I knew we were outside and someone told us that the movie was cancelled.

    7. pillow party

      by , 09-14-2010 at 07:01 AM (a teahouse inside my head.)
      Before I get to the actual dream part, I have realized something about my dream. I only dream about people I'm friend with but not that close with unless it is a dream about a big group of people. I don't know why, but it is only people that I'm not that close with. The friends in both of my dreams yesterday, and my dream I will be posting right now are all my friends, but mostly at school or in group situations. Just an observation.

      I only remembered one dream most likely because of waking up at 6 instead of 11. On weekends I naturally dream chain, but never lucidly. I just wake up about ever hour or so and end up remembering more dreams.

      Dream 1: Pillows and an Orange Sauce
      I was video chatting with this girl in my grade (who I was actually supposed to video chat with last night and didn't end up doing) and then she invited me to her house. All of a sudden I was at her house. Her walls were this dark shade of bright blue and the carpet was light grey. There was a navy plaid pillow sitting on the floor near the door with her 17 inch old (circa 2007) macbook pro (yes I know the model of her dream computer) sitting on top of it open to a video chat screen with just her picture on it. There was no bed in the room, just various pillows sprinkled around the room like islands in a sea. There was a flat screen TV on the wall to the left of the door, and the wall directly in front of you when you walked in was 90% window (or sliding glass door to a patio). The room looked very similar to my friend's older brother's room. Some random other girl was there too. I remember jumping over a bunch of pillows for some game or dance and then ordering chinese food. Then all of a sudden there was this orange sweet and sour sauce all over one of the pillows. Then this boy in my class that I kind of like showed up on the patio. We let him in and he just starts pointing at the sweet and sour sauce saying, "it's on the pillow!"

    8. Sharks

      by , 09-14-2010 at 06:58 AM
      Dream two

      I am swimming in a giant pool, but that has waves and stretches out as far as I can see. It is as though the pool opens out into the ocean. The first thing I notice is a man and a woman in a large wood row boat to the right of me. They are married. They are being tossed by the waves into a pool-playground type thing that is out of place in such deep water. The man is saying to the woman how happy he is that they won the trip and how much he loves spending time with her. The woman then disappears and is replaced by someone else I don't remember. Then that person is replaced by the man's father who tells him how much fun it is to spend time with his son. The man complains, saying that he wanted to spend quality time with his wife.

      At this time I am noticing that the waves are getting higher/more turbulent and I am swimming with a bright yellow sled as though it is a pool toy. I am wondering if I should try using it as a surf board when the two men's argument is interupted as a great white shark bumped into their boat as a wave crashed upon them.

      I climb into my sled as I realize that there are multiple sharks in the water and atleast one has taken interest in me. My sled ofcourse, quickly sinks under my weight and is lost. As a shark comes towards me in an attempt to bite, I hit it in the nose as I'd watched Lara Croft do in tomb raider. I then grab it's right fin and haul myself onto it's back. I wrap my arms around itand then realize that there might be teeth there, so I rewind my dream, and mentally reposition myself behind it's dorsal fin and try to steer it with my knees and pressure on said fin.


      (Note* I can remember being able to rewind some dreams since I was very young, and redo them. It's never quite conscious or lucid persay, and it's always the same situation, scene, etc, just altered to fit)

      I become aware that the edge of the pool is somewhere off to my left and behind me. It is the deep end of the pool, and there is merely ad edge there, like the edge of a tub on a wall but thicker. I try to steer the shark in that general direction, but another shark is swimming at the one I am on in an attempt to get me. The shark I am struggling to stay on the back of, starts to dive straight downward and I launch myself off him in a fierce backstroke, aiming for the edge. I bump the corner perfectly with my head, and manage to clamber up so I am standing in the corner, with a foot on either edge just as a shark breaches the surface and tries to bite me. I move out of the way and brace myself against the far wall so as to have power behind me for it's next attempt.

      When it next surfaces, I punch it in the nose again. However, it feels the way it always does when I punch in my dreams: weak, slow, ineffectual. It's as though my punch ends right before the surface I'm hitting begins, in this case, the shark. I next try kicking, to almost same effect. I then realize three things: 1. I am dreaming 2. I am waking up, and should probably continue to do so since I am probably late. 3. I can actually remember three dreams from one night! Rock!


      One thing I found particularly interesting about this dream was the lack of emotion. It should have been scary, possibly even nightmare material. When I was first attacked I felt alarmed yes, but not terrified the way I should have been. When I was in a corner, repeatedly being attacked, I knew I was fully prepared to keep kicking or hitting the shark until it went away. There was barely any element of danger. I was rather surprised at my lack of emotion upon waking.. Any ideas?

      For now I am going to continue merely practicing my dream recall and keeping a dream journal until it is regular enough to experiment with other things.

    9. #146. Arcades

      by , 09-14-2010 at 06:54 AM (Things to Run Away From Really Fast)
      Whoa.

      09/13/10



      This is a building with no windows. The walls and ceiling are black and plasticky, and the dark tiles on the floor are smooth and glossy. Neon signs and arrows are laid out tackily along the walls, advertising the various games on display and giving directions that I can't read.

      I'm in a small alcove, playing one of the arcade games stuffed into the small hallway. The place I'm in connects a larger hallway (which leads to a set of elevators, and the lobby of the building) to a large, open room, the entirety of which is pitch black and shiny.

      I keep moving along the wall and towards the room, switching games as I go. I'm trying to stay out of the way of the janitor, who's coming from the elevators. He's driving a rainbow, glowing lawnmower with various mop-like attachments which simultaneously clean all surfaces of the room. The mop cleaning the ceiling is spinning in circles and whipping across from side to side. The side mops are giant spinning things, reaching out to the edges of the hallway. It looks like a demented, inside-out automatic car wash from an alternate dimension.

      I haven't actually seen it, though. I'm just quietly moving towards the black room.

      - discussing what's happening in the big bang theory tv show on the big screen tv in the black room with someone or other -

      I'm playing air hockey against myself (neon, of course, lighting up the room), when He finds me. I roll my eyes. I was really hoping to avoid the Arcade's mascot.

      It's a clown, of course. He dances around spastically as he approaches me. I cross my arms over my chest and the colourful clown turns the pitch black of the walls and starts to disintegrate. I hear the employee - the man in the suit - decide that he doesn't get paid nearly enough for this.

      In another dream, I'm talking to one of the actors from Supernatural, Jensen Ackles. The surroundings are plain and the carpet is brown. Ackles is complaining about his insane fans, and I decide not to ask for an autograph.

    10. Silhouettes... Kinda scared and confused!

      by , 09-14-2010 at 05:16 AM
      In some of what I think are dreams, I'm aware of everything thats going on in the room but my body is frozen. I tell myself over and over to wake up or move somehow and I often can't. Which panic sets in! In over half of these episodes that I've had I have often seen silhouettes walking towards me or even trying to pull me off the bed. I can't make sense of any of them. If someone would care to explain it would be most appreciated. TY

    11. Super WTF night

      by , 09-14-2010 at 04:28 AM (MoSh's DJ: The Best Dream Journal in The Universe.)
      Music

      I had a dream that my guides were trying to teach me how to remember music from dreams. I remember hearing this song:

      I also remember Raven Knight learning a song. She was at the keyboard and smiling. she was saying as she was playing. "Yes, I can finally play this music!!!"

      Super WTF dream

      At first I Remember trying to enter a room with a bunch of guys in it, but i had to fight my way through.

      Later I'm with Jaas climbing a snowy mountain and walking up trails at night time. We go up one until it goes almost straight up. Jaas falls and we both slide down the path. We pick another directiion but eventually the same thing happens, so we go down the mountain.

      Now I'm walking around... from my lower lip to my chin is a zipper holding my skin in that part together. I am trying to zip it up but it hurts.

      I am by a strange fire with some people, I think my brother's gf jen was there. I have a bottle containing the reamains of the DV member Vira. In the dream I am told she died of liver failure from cancer or something. I open the bottle and her remains are mixed in with shampoo. I pour it on the fire and a huge smell fills the air. It smells like bubbly shampoo and well... death. Jen says that was someone who recently died that Iput on the fire. I said yes. She said from the smell of it that it seemed like the person's death was rather quick.

      Don Juan

      some dream with don juan in it. I can't remember what happened, just that he was in it.

    12. 9/6/10* Limited Air (Semi Lucid)

      by , 09-14-2010 at 04:08 AM
      I am in Manhattan, but it feels like Manhattan from a the Spiderman 2 game. I am walking and suddenly realize that I could fly in dreams that I've had before, so why not this one? I jump off the ground with my arms stretched above me and using willpower I begin flying! I fly around for a while, taking in the sights and bathing in the feeling. I land on a tall skyscraper with about 3 neighboring towers, where enemies are scattered. I take them out crackdown style without ever leaving my building by way of dual uzis.
      I realize that since I am in New York, I want to back to The Standard, the hotel where I stayed last time I was here. I begin flying towards the meatpacking district. I fly under a large overpass which makes this entire area of the city dark.
      I stop inside of a green wire fence with a pool inside when I realize that the hotel is not in this dream, but this doesn't upset me too much. Instead I walk into a nearby tunnel marked by a small white archway. This has led me into the underground section of the city, which is basically just a wide white hallway. I enter a night club by a side entrance, but I decide to go around to the front to avoid seeming uninvited.
      The front entrance is a very small hallway with a bar off the the side and a wooden floor, giving it almost a Japanese feel. A guy who gives me a bad vibe walks up and asks me if I have chosen a girl yet. At this point I realize that the front entrance is actually a whorehouse, and I respond to the guy that I am still looking, as it seems that we wants to kick me out. As I walk to the end of the hallway, I take a look at the women, who are all much older and not very attractive. I look in through the doorway to see the club, but I get a feeling that I should just leave.
      I head up through the tunnel to the east side of the island. I climb a ramp that leads me to the middle of a college football field, with a large Victorian-style building right next to it. I meet an unknown friend and tell him that I can fly. I jump unsuccessfully a few times, and then begin flying with him on my back.
      At this point I notice a small white bar in the bottom left corner of my vision. I realize that this is my flight bar, and that I can only fly as long as the meter is not empty. I drop my friend off, and then walk into the middle of a busy street. A woman is also standing next to me, and I jump into the air and start flying. I do not see her reaction as I go up too far too quickly, but I have a feeling that she didn't even notice.
      As the sky gets dark a large pyramid rises from the ground just a bit north of the midpoint of the tunnel I was in earlier. The sky is lit up with lights, from stars to satellites, and especially the new lights that illuminate the pyramid. I take flight again and try to land, but my bar empties just before I can, causing me to drop suddenly a few metres above ground. I make a hard landing, bashing my ankle on the side of the pool I was at earlier, just like Eric. I have a feeling that I caused serious damage, but cannot feel it.
      I see Cody and tell him that I can fly. He seems a bit jealous, and I procede to fly around the pyramid. The dream ends as I fly up the side of it.

      I've had this sort of dream before, in which i discover I can fly, but it always takes a few jumps to work, and sometimes I lose the power. I do not feel that this was a full lucid dream, but every time I want to fly I can sort of control it, especially the first jumps off the ground. I also did something that I would have done if I were lucid, which is go to that hotel (or at least try).
    13. Sea, Camera Fragment

      Sea, Camera Fragment (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I read this article in the afternoon yesterday, and I wanted to give it a shot so right before I slept I got out a notebook and wrote the day's activities. It took me around 10 to 15 minutes, and I was quite satisfied. I climbed into bed feeling rather tired.

      Unfortunately I only got a few fragments of my dreams. At least they were ridiculous; I'm getting quite sick of my dreams being realistic and boring.

      Some fragments:
      • I remembered being at the bottom of the ocean, like a city in the sea with my friends D and G. I can't remember the conversation we had between us, but then we rose to the top and we appeared at the basketball court in my school.

        As we left the court I told D to remove the oil stains from the sea, as obviously it was extreme pollution to the ocean. I then walked towards the canteen and it was either evening/night time. I saw a few people with weird costumes on them and I walked to one of them. It was my friend from primary school, P.

        I saw a huge switch on the costume and a small notice 'Press for coupon!', so I went ahead and pressed the switch of P's costume. It was actually a camera in disguise, there was a huge white blinding flash of light and everything went white.


      I woke up.

    14. 09/07/10 Fragments of Asuka

      by , 09-14-2010 at 03:52 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      Note: It seems someone has come and kidnapped Asuka yet again, I'm not sure why that keeps happening or even how it keeps happening. There is supposed to be a shield around MoSh's inner world, but it doesn't seem to be doing a lot of good when it comes to protecting Asuka… I'm not sure exactly where the problems are originating, enemies might be getting to Asuka while she's outside of his inner world, but they keep doing it, and this is getting old. So that was my first goal for tonight's dream, to locate and bring Asuka back, also to do some healing on both her and MoSh. I fell asleep with my light / sound machine on and was successful in slipping in to a WILD…

      I was inside MoSh's inner world, which is where I intended to be. I didn't pause, I just walked over to the closest house, which was MoSh's house, and I knocked on the door. There was no answer. I thought that was strange, there is always someone there, was there something else wrong? I was hoping there wasn't something more going on than I already knew about… I opened the door and went inside, once I was inside I saw Data coming down the stairs. There were kids there with him, several kids, Data said he would have come sooner but he kind of had his hands full right now. I told him I was looking for MoSh, we were going to go out and find Asuka. Data said MoSh wasn't dreaming at this time, so he couldn't help me there. I asked if he knew when MoSh might be entering the dream state, Data said he wasn't sure, it could be any time now, or it could be a while. I thought maybe I should go ahead and find Asuka on my own since I wasn't sure where he was right now. So I focused on opening a portal to locate Asuka, and after focusing for a bit, a portal opened and I went through.

      On the other side of the portal I was in a weird place, it was night time there and it looked like a dock area, a warehouse district in some random town, and I somehow knew exactly where I needed to go, so I went towards one of the warehouses. There was nothing about that warehouse that looked any different than the other ones, but I somehow knew that was where I was heading. As I approached the warehouse some thugs came out and approached me, they looked like petty thugs, I knew right away that they weren't the brains behind this. There's no way they could be the brains behind anything… One of them walked over to me and tried to talk like a gangster, he told me I had better just turn around and go the other direction. One of the others said if the pretty girl wanted to join the party, she should be welcomed, he was licking his lips avidly as if he was looking at a particularly choice cut of meat. I told them I was here to get Asuka, so they had better just get the fuck out of my way. The one who had met me said that wasn't right, he said there was supposed to be a dude looking for Asuka… not a chick… he told me to go away and get the dude, because this wasn't how it was supposed to work. I told them I would give them one more chance to get out of my way, but then they were going to find themselves getting hurt. The one in front said those were big words for a little girl… I'd had enough of these idiots, so I formed Witchblade into a sword and kicked all of their asses, I instinctively knew that killing these idiots would be no loss to anyone… and then I went through the main door into the warehouse.

      Once I was inside the warehouse, I looked around and saw that it was completely empty, or almost completely empty. There were some catwalks around the room at the second level, and I could see there was a small office area over there, and the rest of the room was completely empty except for a couple of crates in one area of the room. Those crates stuck out very clearly, they weren't directly in a corner, they were sitting right out in the middle of the floor, so I went to investigate that first. There were a couple more thugs around the back of the crates, I quickly dispatched one of them, but I had the idea the other one didn't really want to be there, he had kind of been tricked, so I threatened him, he was already shitting his pants after seeing me cut the first guy down with no hesitation, so he was not going to hesitate when he saw the chance to escape with his life. I walked back into an area between two of the crates and I saw a trap door in the floor, it was pretty hard to see, I thought it would have been better for them to not have anything hiding it than it was hidden behind those obvious crates. I opened the trap door and descended down into the darkness.

      The trap door led to some underground passages, there were several of them, so I had to focus on finding Asuka again to determine which of the passages I should take. I followed the passage as it descended into the ground a bit farther, and then there was a single door at the end of the passage. The door wasn't even locked, so I opened it and went into the room beyond. Asuka was there, she was singing, in spite of her surroundings that looked like a dismal dungeon I might be able to include in my video game… There were rats scurrying on the ground, the room was damp and the walls were dripping, there was the smell of mold and decay, a skeleton hung on one of the walls, and the room was illuminated only by a single burning torch. I went over to Asuka, who was staring at a particularly disgusting patch on the wall and singing to it… I looked closer and saw a partially decayed, maggot infested rat corpse stuffed into a crack there, yuck! I touched Asuka on the shoulder, she turned towards me as if she was startled, then she said hello, greeting me just as she would always greet me. She handed me a rock with some blobs of goop on it, said I should eat as many cookies as I want. Blech!

      I told Asuka I was there to take her home, so let's get out of there. I was actually surprised how easy this seemed to be, but if this was going to be an easy one, I would gladly take that. I took Asuka's arm and went to lead her out the door, but she pulled away from me and said no, she would not go. I said we had to go, MoSh would be waiting for her. She said the name 'MoSh' as if it had a foul taste to it, then said she was never going back to him again, she was free now and she was going to stay that way. I did a double take, I said I wasn't sure why she was saying those things, but I had the feeling we had to get out of there now before something else happened. She said she didn't want to go anywhere near MoSh… I didn't want to argue with her here and now, so I said fine, we would go to my inner world. She finally said ok, then I led Asuka out of the underground dungeon, through the warehouse, and outside before opening a portal and going through it to my inner world.

      I stepped out of the portal into my inner world, but I saw that I was alone, Asuka was not there. Wtf? How had I lost Asuka on the way here? I should have known that it wouldn't work that easily to get her back, I had better go find her again, so I opened the portal to track her down. I went through the new portal to the area outside the warehouse… the same goons were in front of the warehouse, the same ones I had killed… I killed them again without even waiting to hear them bitch that I wasn't MoSh. Inside, the warehouse was the same, I killed the one thug and told the other to get lost, went down underground and found a reluctant Asuka in the dungeon. Everything had been exactly the same, which I found to be really annoying. This time I went ahead and used the song Liberate by Disturbed, and that effectively freed her of whatever illusions had her trapped in here. She looked around and saw how disgusting things were, then said she wanted to go home… to MoSh? Of course to MoSh, she said, was something wrong with MoSh? Had they done something to him, too? Asuka looked very worried now, she asked what about the kids? What about… I interrupted her and said the kids had been fine with Data, and I had no reason to think MoSh was in danger. So let's get back home. I opened a portal to MoSh's inner world, and holding tightly to Asuka's arm, I led her through the portal… and she was gone before I reached the other side. Damn!

      Ok, it seemed there was something there to keep me from bringing Asuka back, and I would have to find a way to counteract that before I would be able to effectively rescue her this time. I focused on opening the portal again, I focused harder on it this time, I was thinking maybe I was only finding an illusion of Asuka that was there to distract me, so I had to try harder to find the real Asuka. So I ignored the first portal that opened, in fact I let it close, and I kept focusing on going beyond opening that portal, on finding Asuka… and finally a portal opened, though that one was considerably harder to keep stable. I was finally able to keep it stable long enough to go into the portal. The only problem was that once I was in the portal it completely fell apart, branching off in several different directions, all at once, creating a really divergent dream… I found myself functioning on several planes all at once, it felt quite confusing, though I have experienced similar feelings in other multiple-plane dreams. For this dream, I will record the events to keep things as easy to understand as possible.

      Earth
      So I stepped out of the portal into a medieval looking dungeon, and there were strange orc guards all around, and they immediately. They didn't even take the time to ask any questions or give a warning, they immediately came and attacked me, they all had clubs with spikes on them, I formed Witchblade into armor and a sword and engaged them in battle. They didn't seem to have a huge level of intelligence, and I dispatched them without much difficulty, then I was able to search the dungeon. I found the doors were locked, but after searching one of the dead orcs I found that they had keys. I began unlocking the dungeons, most of them were empty, one of them had a prisoner in it that was hanging from a chain in the middle of the room, he asked me to help him, please help him… so I unlocked his chains and said he was free to go, but he would have to find his own way out because I had to find someone else. He attacked me, grabbing a piece of scrap metal and trying to stab me with it, I ended up killing him with Witchblade, that was gratitude. I set him free and he attacks… lame. I found Asuka in a dungeon cell, used Liberate by Disturbed to free her from the illusions, and took her back to the healing glen, which seemed like the best choice at the time.

      Water
      I stepped through the portal and found I was under water, there was a bubble on the bottom of the ocean where I saw Asuka going about her business as if nothing was wrong, most definitely lost in another illusion. As I approached the bubble, I realized I was under attack by some reptilian enemies like some I might see in DDO, the sahuagin, and they attacked me with spears. I had to use Witchblade in combination with the same techniques I use to fly with energy to out maneuver the sahuagin and take them all out before I was able to head towards the bubble that Asuka was inside. I phased through the bubble and fell to the ground, there was no water in the bubble and I hadn't really considered that, but Asuka looked over at me as if she found my face plant to be quite amusing. I used Liberate to free her from the illusion, then opened a portal to the healing glen.

      Fire
      I exited the portal in a long passage, the passage had a faint red glow in it and it was very hot there, I already knew what I would find at the end of the passage. The end of the passage opened onto a huge open chamber which was actually the inside of an active volcano, the boiling lava down below looked quite agitated. On an island in the lava I saw Asuka going about her usual business. I flew out over the lava and realized there were several dragons heading towards me, breathing fire in my direction, but I didn't really want to take the time to fight several dragons at once… I counted five dragons coming at me… so instead, I swooped in, grabbed Asuka, and flew through a portal to the healing glen, taking a very shocked Asuka with me. The portal closed behind me in the face of the attacking dragons, a small burst of fire got through as the portal closed. Now that I was back to the healing glen I used Liberate to free Asuka's mind.

      Wind
      I stepped through the portal and found myself at a high altitude, I fell a short distance before I caught myself and flew. I was then able to take a look around, there were many floating islands in the area, one of them had Asuka on it, trapped in an illusion, and there were bird people circling the island to keep her from getting off of it even though she wasn't making any move to try to leave. I figured they were there to keep someone from coming to rescue her. There were a bunch of the bird people, all of them had staff weapons, and as they saw me, they all turned and started firing energy bolts from their staffs. There were so many of them I didn't really want to fight them all, so I chose to dive in at high speeds and grab Asuka, carrying her through a portal to the healing glen, where I used Liberate to free her mind.

      Nightmare #1
      I exited the portals into several nightmares at once, too. A normal looking living room in a normal looking house where MoSh was being tortured while Asuka was tied up and being forced to watch, some big ugly guy had MoSh tied up on the couch and he was working with a clippers of some kind, right now he was clipping off part of one of MoSh's fingers, he screamed in pain, Asuka screamed at him to stop that… Using Liberate destroyed the entire illusion, and it turned out both MoSh and the big ugly guy were fake, I was able to take Asuka to the healing glen.

      Nightmare #2
      In another one MoSh was facing her at the door to their house, he had a suitcase full of crap that was partially sticking out, and he shoved that at Asuka as he yelled at her with mean, mean, words! Asuka was crying, MoSh was saying he wished he had never met her. I used Liberate and destroyed that illusion, then took Asuka to the healing glen.

      Nightmare #3
      In the living room of MoSh's house, MoSh was tied up again and Asuka was standing there with a machete, and there was a big guy there, big and ugly, with a gun. He told Asuka she had to kill MoSh, Asuka said no that she couldn't. The man said she could either kill him and make it quick and relatively painless, or he would start killing MoSh slowly and painfully and Asuka could watch, it was up to her. She was crying, saying she couldn't do it, so the big guy shot MoSh in his right foot, drawing a scream of pain, making Asuka cry more. Liberate broke through this nightmare, at which point I took her through to the healing glen.

      Nightmare #4
      I exited the portal into a green meadow with some really beautiful trees, grass, and flowers. It was very peaceful there, looking around I realized it was a cemetery filled with very well tended grave sites, most of them had colorful flowers on them. I wandered through the grave sites until I spotted Asuka, she was dressed in black and crying, she was standing in front of a line of coffins, it seemed that not only one of her family had died, everyone in her family had died. I went over to her and saw there were more coffins than just her family, there was one that said MoSh, one for each kid, one said Nomad, one said Raven, and there were more, it appeared that there was a coffin for each person in her life right now. When I got closer to her I saw she was crying and muttering that something was all her fault, I touched her and she jumped, saying she thought I was dead… I destroyed the illusion with Liberate and took her through to the healing glen.

      The Final Asuka
      After completing all of those dream segments at the same time, I found I was in the healing glen with a bunch of Asukas, each Asuka was semi-translucent, I had the idea there was one more Asuka to go get, so I opened one more portal to go retrieve Asuka. I went through this portal, which I thought would be the final portal, and found myself once again outside of the warehouse that I had first found myself in front of… with the same thugs waiting for me and complaining that I wasn't MoSh. So I repeated myself one more time… killed the thugs outside, killed one of the inside thugs while the other ran away, went to the dungeon, found Asuka, Liberate to set her mind free, then took her back to the healing glen and the other Asukas.

      When I got back to the healing glen, all of the Asukas merged back to one, and now she no longer looked semi-translucent. As if there was some cue for it to happen, MoSh came through a portal into the healing glen, I wasn't sure where he had come from, if he had opened his own portal or if someone had sent him through, but it didn't really matter. Asuka ran over to MoSh, throwing her arms around him, she said she had thought she would go mad with being in so many places at once… MoSh hugged her, and now there were other people there with us. I focused on using a healing spell on the both of them, I used Touch My Heart, and then I used Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack to focus healing on MoSh's chest area, on his physical heart, due to chest pains I was worried about, possibly muscle pains, but the heart itself is a muscle… I continued the healing spells, and when they were over, everything around me faded to black and I woke.
    15. Programming the Planets

      by , 09-14-2010 at 03:34 AM
      Writing the title out like that, the dream probably looks a lot cooler than it really was, but oh well. Me and my friend D (who has appeared in my dreams multiple times lately) are programming in Java. I'm doing my own thing, maybe working on a project for the fun of it, or maybe working on a previous assignment. I look over to her screen, and I see that she is working on a really cool program. It's not finished yet, but it has something to do with all of the planets. Each of the planets, though, has it's own special keyword. For example, on the screen, it may have been something like Uranus - Neo, or Mercury - Aqua. That's not quite right, but I thought that it was pretty cool in the dream.

      The most interesting part of the dream to me, though, was that I had been programming less than an hour before sleeping. I actually had the conscious thought - 'Oh, I know that our dreams often have to do with what we do in the last hour before sleeping, but I doubt my brain will do much with programming. Well, I guess my subconscious proved me wrong!
