On a train
I see my friend, Carlos, on the train. I say hi to him, but he's a bit unresponsive. He says hi, back, but he seems to not care that this is the first time we're actually seeing each other in years.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"I'm upset at you for not continuing to write to me!" he says (via facebook). "I have something important I need to tell you."

"I'm here, why don't you tell me now?" I said.

"No. I can only write it to you."

Spider-shooting
I'm at my house. I see a spider on on the outside wall. I have a BB gun in hand and I start shooting the spider. I'm happy it's not wrecking the siding as I'm trying to shoot the hated thing.

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

I start out in this dream playing sims. What I see is only the screen, not the desk or the computer, like in all of my dreams about sims, or even if I'm just on the computer in a dream. Well, I am playing with a town from TS2, but it doesn't have it on TS3, Strangetown! I remember thinking through some of the citizens that were "popular" from Strangetown. Right now I was re-arranging the lots, and looking at them from build mode. I accidentally switched a lot that was the right way to the wrong way, so I switched it back. I still remember what it looked like. It was a cottage with a pond in the back. There was another lot I saw without a house, but it had sand on it and a large pool, ready for a house to be built. One of them looked like it was in a tropical rainforest, the little house was sprawled out a little, with different sections.

Then, I started to play with one of the households that I don't remember from Strangetown. It was a single parent, the dad, with a toddler and his teenage son. They were in the park, and the toddler aged up. But he didn't age up to a kid, but to teenager...I couldn't stand how he looked. Not only was he kinda big, but I noticed that he had 3 GIANT moles on his face and neck . I was thinking about this being a bug since he aged up twice...

Now I am on DV. I copied this one "spam" thread that is only kinda spam because it's supposed to only be about sims, but it ends up being about other stuff, from the sims website to DV. I edited the title with this: [spam]. I also put in one reply to it at the end. All of the replies from when it was a sims site were there, but then there was mine . Later, I noticed that my post was no longer there. The file was corupted or something because it's not originally from DV...Well, now I see a screen where it's uninstalling the lots that were put on the thread, I was ok with that. There were about 4.

I couldnt remember my dreams, I had them in my grasp then they slipped away like they always do.

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

I don't remember most of my normal dreams that I had this morning because of my three lucids which I had after these normal dreams .

Well, for some reason I was on an errand with my dad, and we left at midnight... I remember driving though I was tired, and turning once....When I got home it was 1:23 am.

I was lazy again, and didn't take any notes during the night...

1- Zombie Girlfriend
My friend is feeling really down, missing his deceased girlfriend. I decide that this is as good a time as any to practice Necromancy.

The scene changes. I am her, buried deep underground, cold and dead. Suddenly I am alive again. I can't breathe.... there's too much dirt... I struggle to the surface.

The scene changes again. Somehow, I have a bad feeling about this. I must get to her grave before she causes any trouble... ((Not really sure what happens. I vaguely remember being semi-lucid, stuck in one of those continuing dream-loops.))

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

This dream may have been a DEILD, because it continues, kinda, from my past dream. I am by the vanity table, and there is almost a concert going on-I am going to perform it. I am getting ready! This time I put white mascara on for some reason, kinda different but this one ended too quickly, and I never got to do it!

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

I THINK this dream may have been a WILD...because I had just fallen back to sleep and everything...A non intentional WILD. Since I had SO many dreams this morning (I was wakin up and fallin asleep a lot this morning), the beginning is kinda fuzzy.

So, I am lucid. Of course, I wanna find sunglasses dude still. I can't believe this is my 4th dream about trying to find him! I am in this room that seems to be an individual room amongst scenery outside, with other rooms sorta like this. I notice this jelly liquid on the walls near the counter. Two different types. For some reason I figure that it must be a clue to find sunglasses dude. So, with a plastic thing, I rub some of the jelly stuff on it. On the wall I see a little plastic tubberware thing with pads with bright blue wrapping . I use that to collect the other sample...without opening it.

So, I go and bring it to another one of those seperate room things. I see one of my 2nd cousins...how random...and I ask her if there's a way that I can analyze this stuff. She says there is. So, she takes me to this fireplace, and tells me to put it on the rug on the fireplace. She outlined the spot with her fingers as to where on the rug she wanted the stuff to go. Then, a minute passed, and it was analyzed. Then I asked her if she knows where he is. She said he should be just out in front, and his cousin across the street behind him.

So, I go out and I see him. I notice that he doesn't look like he did in my first dream about him . Well, I'm getting tired of looking for him, so I just hug him. He's not really my type with the way he looks right now, but I thought it couldn't hurt for us to talk. He started to speak, but then I gestured for him to walk so that we could walk and talk. He said how he is suicidal...IDK why, but that is what I remember form the conversation! Now his cousin is this black dog, so ""sunglasses dude"" isn't here anymore, and the dog is following me.

We end up in this house. There, there were 2 other dogs. Then I look out the window, and I see a TON of dogs outside in a parade, alongside their owners! That was AMAZING, all of the dogs! I also noticed the odd scenery. The place I was in was a house, but outside of the house wasn't the outdoors...there was a roof to this town WAY high up. I decide that I want to go into this parade with the dogs. They all follow me, and now we are in the parade!

Now, the scene skips, and I am still in this odd town, but there is no longer this parade. I am sitting cross legged amongsth these other dozen people or so, most of them teenagers. There are two people in the middle of the small circle "wrestling". They use these puppet things to wrestle...For some reason, this one guy uses these 2 stick things to hold this puppet in such a way that makes him tough. Aparently, everyone in this world is wimpy and TOO nice, so he was strange for doing this. Instead of clapping, everyone in the circle was putting there index finger and pinky finger against their thumb, and touched it multiple times...I was trying to liven up this group. I wanted them to BOO, IDK why, I guess because it's wrestling . Well, what they were doing was SO boring! So, kinda loudly, I say "BOO", about 3 times. Everyone else continues what they are doing...Eventually they start to say boo, but they are saying it SO softly, and are still doing the thumb clap thing. I take the guy that is not a wimp out of the circle, and kiss him twice, because he is not as boring as the rest of them.

Now the scene changes AGAIN, and I am still in this town...Now, I see a bunch of people everywhere, but there was still lots of room. I decide that I want to talk to some DC's, and ask them where all the hot guys are . I command them that they must answer me. At first, she starts to talk to one of her friends, but then I tell her she must stop because I am the dreamer. They aren't mad. She and her friend told me that the hotest guys are in the front row, by the rockstar girl. So, aparently a concert was going on. I decide that I will check it out. Instead of first looking at the boys, though, I don't see the rockstar, so I go by her makeup area, and decide that everyone can gawk over me . I SURELY can sing great in a dream if I want to! So, I know I already have makeup on, but I don't have the fancy eyeshadow. So I take the tube, and put it on, using the vanity. It is one of those small ball brushes with a volume formula. I start putting it on, fast, because I don't want to be still putting mascara on before my lucid is even done! So, I do mess up a little on the bottom lash, so I use a wet cue-tip to take it off. I am almost done with the mascara, and one person, supposed to help me I guess, puts down this bottle of this oily stuff that I'm supposed to put on too...IDK, some stuff for the lights or something.... I wake up before I can be a rockstar or gawked at!

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

So, I am walking downstairs with 2 other DC's. I am in my basement IRL! It looks like it really does. Though there is a window in the main family room part of the basement, it's quite far away from the beginning, so it was rather dark. There were just a few lights on, the ones on the end tables. Now, I see a person coming downstairs after I just stop, and am standing there. This person looks SO similar to my dad. But, he isn't my dad, and claims to be a DV member named LOLing... He said how he might visit these two other specific DV members, but I think the names he mentioned don't really exist . Well, he sits on the recliner. I look at him more closely-he looks SO much like my dad! The only difference is that...well, there was a small difference, but it's hard to explain.

Maybe because of him looking like my dad, IDK, I become lucid. Now, I walk past the computer. I see my grandma who had just randomly showed up, and I ask her where "sunglasses dude" is. She asks me if I've looked in the car. So, I just go upstairs, and I go into the garage to look there. I rub my hands, cause I could feel the dream going away. Woo, I'm good. I see this shiny, nice looking, but smooshy on the inside, red car. I look in the front seat, the driver seat, to see if he's there, because that is where I expect him to be. He's not there. So, I go outside into the driveway to see if he's there! Then, I see him! He is on this weird lawnmower...It is like 20 feet high, and supported by these long stilt things. The wheels are all low. To get up to it, I see the gas, sorta low, step on that, and pull myself up with the steering wheel. Then, because my foot's on the gas, I start going...backwards . Well, I think, according to the spedometer, that I am going 45 miles an hour...increasing speed. I see that I can go up to 90 miles an hour....That I do not want to do. I look in the rearview mirror at him, and I was just THRILLED, SIMPLY THRILLED, to see that the guy in the rearview mirror looks EXACTLY like my dad . What the heck! I nuzzle him awake. OMG, before I can say a WORD, I wake up!

I started off in a dream where I was in L. Subway Station. The whole place had a theme of white and purple. It was definitely pretty. As I proceeded downstairs, my mother showed me all the amazing graffiti that was scattered around the place. For such a ghetto station, the artwork was amazing.

Eventually I ended up outside of the station. I was with my grandfather, some little boy, and a few other random people. We started singing random songs. Then the little boy pulled out a miniature guitar. He started playing random songs; he was a total prodigy. He pulled off some flamenco songs especially well.

I was sitting there watching him. Then I realized something. Every song that the boy played was a song that I used to play on the guitar. I realized that I was that little boy. All the people were really watching me.

I sort of ended up in his body. Beside me was my grandfather. I started crying; I miss(ed) him so much. He was sort of odd looking, maybe a little younger than I knew him; he had a bit more hair, and it had a sort of golden sheen to it. I was sort of semi-lucid at this point; I didn't really know it was a dream, but I was conscious enough to know that my grandfather is deceased (IRL) and that I might be meeting him right now.

I woke from that dream into an FA. In the FA, I woke up and looked at the clock, but something was blocking it. I sat up more and looked over. For some reason I had some giant wall mesh thing with a digital clock screen on it. I lifted it up, and it showed some odd time. Somehow I knew that something had went wrong and that all the clocks were probably messed up. I looked to two other randomly placed clocks in my room and, sure enough, they were messed up too.

Then I looked behind me. Instead of a curtain, I had those "temporary paper blinds" on my window. On them was written the name "Layla" at least 7 times, but each time was different. They were all in handwriting, and most of them were misspelled or backwards. There were also some tears and holes in the paper. There was other random stuff on them too.

I got out of my bed and wandered into my mom's room. She was there and seemed to be painting the walls. I started telling her about the dream in the subway station. Eventually I woke IRL.

I eventually sank into another dream. This time, I was with some guy and some random lady on a wagon. She said her name was Ruby, and she was from a play called Ruby and the Ruby. The guy thought she was lying and tried to get her to tell him a different name, but she kept holding up the ruby that hung from her necklace and insisting that her name was Ruby.

Eventually I ended up in some little cottage house place with my friends. I guess we were on a field trip or something. Some of the people wanted to go up a small set of darkly stained wooden stairs, but I and some others insisted that we weren't supposed to go up there.

Then I was on some sort of island or something. I was sitting there talking with VI about something. Then I tried to find her. She was far away, but I did find her. I told her it was really odd that we were talking to each other and sounded as if we were beside each other, but yet we were really so far apart.

Then I was back in some random house. Me and Ruby and that man had to escape or something; we were in panic. Ruby was missing something, so she ended up taking off her "body suit" with her large ball gown. The real her was much prettier and much more youthful looking. For some reason her breasts starting blowing up as if they were balloons.

I then ended up with ST, MI, and some other guys from my school. I was in some room. there was a tiny little change room thing that I was crouched in and trying to change in. I realized that I had forgotten my clothes outside of the changeroom thing. I wrapped the pale blue towel about me and stood up. I told them I had left my dress and clothes in the middle of my room. To my dismay, when I looked at my knapsack in the middle of the room, it looked like it barely had anything in it. Then they were having a discussion about something else. I imitated the creepy smile that Kate did in Paranormal Activities. They all burst out laughing, and I joined in. The dream ended somewhere there.

Dream fragment

Me and a group of people are sitting at a table with one another. Someone shows me a picture of my friend, and starts talking trash about him behind his back. Meanwhile, my friend is sitting right behind the person and confronts them. For some reason the first thing that comes to mind when I think where we were was at a hockey rink.

Jewel Power Pt. 2 (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

"Unwanted" came in between Pt. 1 and Pt. 2, so that's why it is a Pt. 1 and Pt. 2. This was set straight after Pt. 1.

As the Diamond shattered, I saw a bright green light coming from the side of the oval. I checked it out, and saw that the Emerald was intact. I took it and was going to take it back, but I strong gust of wind picked it up and it was floating in a small whirlwind and flew away.

Some of my friends came home with me, but when we returned we saw a humanoid spirit in my backyard, she was really attractive...and angry. We wondered who she was and she yelled at me, "You're the one who tried to steal me before!" I was shocked and asked if she was Emerald, she was, I hadn't seen her spirit form, i'd been talking to her through the Emerald itself, while she was still in it. I was confused at her not recognising me, but she suddenly sent two other spirits after me and my friends, they were humanoid.

One was wearing a red jacket, wielding a large mace. The other was wearing a slim blue suit, wielding knives. They said their names were Garnet and Azurite, and that they had evolved. They were apparently friends with Emerald, so they were standing up for her because she thought I tried to steal her. Garnet and Azurite were a lot more powerful than what they were when they were dragon-like, Garnet still attacked like a savage, but he could send a shockwave in earth with his mace. Azurite attacked the same way too, except for space manipulation, he could make portals and send a sort of invisible space pulse out of his hand. We defeated them...somehow...it's a blank.

She then sent out Onyx, who was an unevolved dragon spirit, but far more powerful than the others. He charged towards us and attempted to ram us but I shot a flamethrower out of my hand, which held him back for a short while, I still had the Fire Opal. Next time he tried to charge, I jumped on him and rode him, pressing my hand to his neck, shooting fire that close. The space around my hand was glowing with fire, Onyx was roaring, going completely crazy and threw me off near the fence. I saw an Amethyst on the fence and used it when the dragon charged, everything within about 5 metres of me froze...including me, but I melted it with my Fire Opal.

We tried get Emerald, but there was strong winds and flowers blooming, Emerald could control Nature, makes sense how the Emerald disappeared when I got it. The wind shot some of the flowers up in the air and they came crashing down, spinning like razor discs. I avoided them but they sliced my backyard up into bits, as well as shattering Onyx. She used her power over wind to send tonnes of debris like parts of building and tree branches toward us, which really dream hurt. It knocked me on the ground and I saw more Razor Flowers heading down and I rolled out of the way, my friends were attacking Emerald during me nearly being sliced to bits, but she was completely unaffected. I forget what happened next but Emerald suddenly came to remember me and everyone was happy. I hate when I can't remember anything.

Unwanted (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was at a jewelry store and I saw 2 people slip some jewels into their pockets, thinking that they were going to pay, I went on looking. Although I have no idea while I was at a jewelry in the first place. I saw them leave straight after and when I shouted "HEY", they started running, neither of them seemed that strong. I eventually caught up and tackled them to the ground, with jewels pouring out. I felt pretty happy considering that I stopped 2 Jewel Theives.

I went to school and my friend C (yes, same C from last 2 dreams, and no I don't like her) asked what's up, I just told her how I stopped the thieves, she thought I was joking at first, but she looked it up and she saw it was true, which she thought was awesome. She went on to tell people who didn't believe her and started thinking i'm pathetic because they must of thought I made it up. I even went past the lockers and some people I knew just gave me a "No-one wants you here" stare. C apoligised and I lived with it.

Jewel Power Pt. 1 (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This dream is kinda fuzzy, i'll explain it the best I can.

I had a friend, she appeared to be the spirit of a jewel or something. In this dream jewels had spirits in them, all with special powers, the gem AND the spirit had power.

One day, I couldn't find her, but when I was at the oval in school, I saw a shattered Emerald, it was her. I got really angry and looked across the oval to see some spirits that looked like flightless dragons. A red garnet spirit dragon which was a savage attacker. A blue Azurite dragon, with swift movements, and more planned attacks. They were being lead by someone who was apparently a humanoid Diamond spirit, and that diamonds have the power of control.

I was angry with them and attacked, some of my friends helped too. We didn't have any special gem powers, but we seemed to be physically superior to normal humans. Garnet was attacking my friends, but they seemed fine, but while I was distracted, Azurite came from behind and just barely missed me as I ducked. It skidded across the ground and lunged again, but I avoided it and jumped on it's back, I was leading it to attack Diamond, but the Garnet intervened. My friends said that they would hold Garnet off. I made Azurite attack Diamond, crunching him, but he escaped, I saw a Fire Opal on it's leash. I would at this point like to point out that I know some things about jewels. I grabbed it, jumped off the dragon and opened my hand with the fire opal in it as fire came out of my hand, incinerating Diamond. I saw a small white rift in front of me, in which, a cracked Diamond came out, which then shattered. The dragons backed off my friends and returned to whatever it is that they were doing.

In my dream i remember that me and my girlfriend were pretty serios. All of a sudden she didn't want a serious relationship anymore. she decided to break up with me. it didn't sink in at first. I started seeing someone else and then someone asked me about my wedding. I became really really upset,because i realized i was no longer going to get married. i went into the pricing office at my work and was about to text my gf. to beg herto get back with me. I pulled outmy phone and pushed a button to turn it on. my phone started loading like it wasn't on before and i waited. It turned on and my dream ended.

Sometimes you don't really think about how you would feel if a relationship ended but sometimes i think it's good to have dreams like this. as long as they stay just dreams

Note: I had a goal tonight of meeting up with MoSh, checking on and doing a healing spell on Asuka, who has been absent from his dreams lately. After that MoSh wanted to go view an event from a Carlos Castaneda book where Castaneda was watching don Genaro do something interesting near a waterfall… I'm not sure what, but MoSh said that to see the full extent of it I would have to look at his energy, not just his body. So we have tried to do this before and met with an epic fail, so we're going to try it again. I used my light / sound machine to meditate. I fell asleep and successfully slipped into a WILD…

*Execution*
Ok… I immediately noticed something was off… I was actually over someone's shoulder and being carried… wtf? Was this some kind of attack on MoSh's inner world? Because that was where I was supposed to be… I tried to ask the person carrying me who the fuck he was, but I found I couldn't speak… my mouth was full of a foul tasting fabric… yuck… I went to take it out of my mouth, but I found my hands were bound tightly behind my back. Ok… this was annoying. I tried to activate Witchblade to cut through my bonds… nothing happened. This was really starting to piss me off. I was going to try something else when the man carrying me slung me off of his back and stood me on my feet, which I also found were tightly bound. I looked at the jerk who had been carrying me and did a double take… it was a fucking Templar.

I tried to curse at him, momentarily forgetting my mouth was full of foul tasting cloth… apparently curious as to what I would say, the Templar removed the cloth. After a couple of spits to try to get rid of the taste, I did curse at the Templar. I told him if he didn't want a personal tour of Hell then he had better get those bonds off of me immediately. He just laughed. He said I was the one who would be going to Hell… He said he was glad I was awake for my sentence, although he was sure I would have awakened as it was being carried out. No one could sleep through that.

Ok, this guy was dense, so I would have to show him a thing or two… his armor was metal, so the first thing I thought of was to use Battery on him. Nothing happened. I repeated myself, "Battery!" Still nothing happened. The Templar laughed. He said I should know perfectly well that stuff doesn't work in waking life. I told him that this was a dream. He said the drugs must have gotten me quite confused… but I had already been convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death. He said I had seemed to lose my senses when the method of my execution was announced… but he was glad to see I was fully lucid and able to experience every moment of it. I said of course I was lucid, it was a lucid dream. He said I could tell myself that all I wanted, it wouldn't change a thing. He pushed me to the side, I fell to the ground since my hands and feet were still tightly bound. I looked up and saw the Templar opening the doors of an old medieval execution device known as an iron maiden.

At first I wasn't really sure what to say… was this madman really intending to use that thing? He picked me back up by the ropes on my arms and carried me over to the device, setting me between the open doors. He laughed and said this was going to be fun. I had no thought that I could be actually killed here… I knew it was a dream… I told him if he even thought about trying to use that thing on me I would see him in the dark realm where I would have a front row seat to watch the cruelest demon I could find slowly burn the flesh from his bones. He just laughed again and started swinging the doors closed. I told him I had been leaving them alone because they hadn't been bothering me, but doing something like that would mean all bets are off. So unless he wanted to know… While I was threatening, he had continued swinging the doors slowly closed. The spikes on the doors were poking me, and pushing me back a bit into the spikes on the back of the device. He laughed when my words got cut off, then with one final hard shove, he pushed the doors completely closed.

The first reaction I had was that I couldn't believe he'd actually had the balls to do that… and of course his balls are something I would cheerfully relieve him of… That thought only had an instant in my mind before I was hit with a wave of excruciating pain, feeling each and every spike as it was rammed through my body… it was immediately the worse physical pain I have ever felt… and then to top it off, they had piped in some kind of loud screaming that sounded a bit like an enraged banshee who was also in pain. But this was a dream… why was I feeling so much physical pain in a dream? That damn screaming was too loud for me to think… and then I realized the one screaming was me… apparently an unconscious reaction to the excruciating pain… With an enormous effort of will, I forced myself to close my mouth and think… I just had to wake up. So I focused on waking up. Wake up… wake up… wake up… nothing happened. I tried to move a bit to wake myself up, but the attempt at movement only redoubled the excruciating pain I was in by shifting my position on the spikes… And still I did not wake up. Why could I not awaken? I also noticed I was no longer silent. I hadn't started screaming again, I was just emitting low groaning sounds of pain that sounded like the expression of someone in the deepest pits of despair. I could hear laughter outside… the Templar was enjoying this.

I remembered reading a couple of articles, from when I was doing some research on torture devices I could put in a dungeon for a video game I am designing, about a person shut inside an iron maiden living for as long as a couple of days. How long had I already been in there? Not long, I didn't think… this was a dream. That meant I would wake up. But how long would that take? This was a dream… that also meant I should have my powers. Why weren't they working? Maybe something was blocking them… I just needed to focus to overcome that block… As I was trying to focus, I unintentionally shifted my body again… another wave of unbelievable pain… an involuntary cry of pain and despair… a laugh from the Templar outside… broken focus. A simple ability, like telekinesis… I focused on opening the doors to the iron maiden. That would either result in my being free or in my dream body bleeding to death and me waking up. At that point either alternative was an acceptable result. Nothing happened. I was going to try to focus better when the floor literally dropped from beneath my feet. But of course I was pinned on the spikes and could not fall… instead I was hanging on the spikes now… and what I had thought was the worst possible physical pain got about ten times worse…

After hanging there with my mind clouded by pain for what felt like forever, the floor closed again and I was once again standing on something solid. Apparently that was something they would do for periodic amusement. I could now hear at least two or three Templars outside laughing. One kept saying to do it again. Another said they had to wait… set a pace for the pain, deliver it all at once, what do they do for fun then? For fun?! For fucking FUN?! Those fucking sick bastards, what kind of mind does a person have to have to think putting someone in a device like this is fun?! Rage and dark energy were boiling up within me… and I let it. The dark energy brought a feeling of cold numbness, which blocked out most of the pain. It was not stable dark energy, and I didn't care. I let it be unstable, let it expand and fill me until it was bursting out of me like an explosion… and then there actually was an explosion…

The resultant explosion that blew the iron maiden into three separate pieces… blasted the two doors off to the front, and threw the back half against the wall behind me. One of three Templars got slammed with a door to the iron maiden… it had flipped around in the explosion and he was now impaled on the spikes of the door. Another Templar was staring at me… and kept repeating two words… Oh, shit… oh, shit… oh, shit… He disappeared, abandoning his partners like the coward he was. I was currently pissed and full of unstable dark energy. I used telekinesis to lift the free Templar and slam him into the back half of the iron maiden, impaling him on the spikes there. Must have hit a vital organ or two, because he died quickly. I noticed the one pinned under the door was still moving. I went over and looked at him. His face was contorted by pain and terror. I wondered what I looked like that would instill such a fear response… as if that was a request, I saw a brief 3rd person view of myself… I looked like Sorceress Edea from Final Fantasy VIII (the form usually called the Queen of Night), but in addition to looking like a dark sorceress, I looked dementedly pissed off…

ok… it was a bit disturbing, or it would have been if I hadn't been bursting with unstable dark energy. I stepped on the door under which the terrified Templar was pinned... forcing the spikes further into him, and eliciting a cry of pain and a plea for mercy. I had no urge to be merciful… I gave one more shove down on the door and then walked away as the Templar was grimacing in pain and trying in vain to lift the heavy iron door off of himself.

I walked over to the dungeon door… and did absolutely nothing, but the door blasted off of its hinges apparently of its own accord. I left the dungeon into the main Templar base, throwing dark energy spears at the Templars, randomly impaling them and pinning them to the wall. Some died quickly, others cried out in pain as they hung there dying a much slower death. I got to the center of the base, or what looked like the center, and unleashed an Immortal Fire of pure unstable dark energy, a wall of black flames burst out from me, incinerating everything in its path. I was feeling a bit disoriented… and the scene around me shifted.

*Visions of Castaneda*
Now I was in MoSh's inner world where I had intended to go in the first place. My dark energy had been drained off in the Templar base, and I just felt drained rather than homicidal. I collapsed to my knees in the yard in front of MoSh's house, taking deep breaths and trying to calm myself down. I noticed all my wounds had somehow healed, probably from the intense energy flow… The door to the house flew open and MoSh came running out with Asuka right behind him. MoSh got over to me and was worriedly asking if I was ok… what had happened? I wasn't able to answer right away, which seemed to worry him even more… but finally I was able to tell him I would be ok. Data was there… and he opened a portal. MoSh picked me up… I was trying to tell him I could walk just fine… and carried me through the portal, Asuka followed, and we were in the healing glen. Basara also showed up, and we did a mutual healing, with the crystal golem putting in extra healing energy. My dark energy was stable again, completely controlled.

"Carlos Castaneda," I said to MoSh, "Let's go watch him." MoSh looked surprised. He said no, we didn't have to do that tonight. He said I should get my rest. I felt the dream slipping, too… but for some reason I thought it would be a worst case scenario to let this entire dream be wasted on being tortured by and subsequently killing stupid Templars. I wanted to do something productive. I told him I was ok and I wanted to do it now. I focused on time dilation to stabilize the dream, turning one hour of IWL time into four hours of dream time… I asked for the book… then I remembered it was called 'A Separate Reality' by Carlos Castaneda. I summoned the book. I opened it and skimmed for the word waterfall or don Genaro. Found mention of don Genaro, so I transported MoSh and myself to my room in my inner world and got my laptop. I loaded the book into my laptop through a scanner and then activated the holographic viewing system… I was wondering if it would work… the new scene took shape around us. We could now watch the events in the book… and see the events of the book instead of looking like snack food to a bunch of hungry graboids.

I looked around and saw the target of our viewing. Castaneda, don Juan, and a couple other guys were sitting in a line on a row of rocks that they were using as chairs. They were all staring at a waterfall. The waterfall was quite beautiful, but I didn't see that the beauty of the waterfall alone would command their full attention for that long… I looked over at the waterfall. There was an older man climbing a trail beside the waterfall. It looked like a difficult trail, but the man looked like he was in much better shape than his age might indicate. For the most part he was sure footed about his ascent to the top of the falls where he disappeared from sight.

MoSh touched me on the shoulder and asked if I was sure I was ok… he said it looked like something pretty serious had happened to me. I said I was ok now. He hesitated, then said since we were here, we might as well do it right. He said to point at don Genaro with my pinky when he came back into view. I didn't say anything about that not being my method of energy scanning… I knew what he meant, that was really all that was necessary. The man, apparently don Genaro, appeared by the edge of the waterfall at the top.

I focused on seeing his energy, not just his body. At first I just saw a bright aura, he had strong energy… but also pure and stable. No corruption there, but that wasn't what I was looking for. I watched him for a bit, then his energy field seemed to change its shape, he was clearly manipulating his energy. I watched from next to MoSh as he used tendrils of energy like ropes to help him get to a small stone in the middle of the falls… and then to an even smaller one… somehow without getting swept away. He wouldn't be swept away, he had his energy tendrils to hold on to. He stayed on the second stone for a while, positioning his energy tendrils just right, removing them from the first rock and anchoring them to the far bank of the river… And then he used them to pull himself over to the far bank where he landed with cat-like grace on all fours. He paused there and pulled his energy tendrils back into himself, then finally stood up and looked down at his audience. All four men were staring wide eyed. Don Genaro now momentarily glowed brightly, expanding his energy field in a bright and colorful aura that looked like it might be visible from space… before disappearing from sight on the other side of the waterfall.

It started raining now. The four men who had been sitting got up. I could hear Castaneda talking plaintively to don Juan who was responding as one might to a child who is complaining too much… responding in a tone that sounded like a reprimand… but I couldn't hear what they were saying. And I also had the feeling it didn't matter what they were saying. MoSh and I had been there to see don Genaro's show, not to find out what Carlos Castaneda was complaining to don Juan about… MoSh asked what I had seen. I told him what I had seen, don Genaro using his energy tendrils to help him get across the flowing waterfall without falling off. He commented that it seems I had seen it. I said yeah, I have been able to see energy in the dream state for quite some time… though I didn't remember seeing someone use the energy in that manner before… MoSh said that when Castaneda and don Juan had first watched this, it had been in the physical plane of our own home world… and then Castaneda had written about his experiences, although Castaneda had not been able to see what don Genaro had done at that point. Castaneda had looked, but had not been able to see. That didn't seem odd since most people on our physical plane aren't able to see energy…

The hologram shut down at that point, apparently MoSh and I had seen everything we were going to see. MoSh said don Genaro had been manipulating his energy body on the physical plane of our world. I said yeah, that was pretty cool. I saw MoSh and I were back in my inner world again. I went over to the couch and sat down. MoSh was walking around looking at things. I could feel myself about to wake up again. I told MoSh that I was about to wake up, and time dilation seemed like too much effort to try again when it has never worked the second time anyway. MoSh was saying something else to me when everything faded and I woke.
