non-lucid

I decided to try and dream in Denn from WakingNomad's Dream RPG, not to accomplish a task, but to see if it's still there. I'm fairly certain it is from these results.
____

I am in a tavern of some kind, Like one from an RPG. there is a mug filled with an unknown liquid in front of me, and I am talking with a person to my left. I don't remember what was said.

-Memory skip-

I am fighting hordes of monsters through a castle in what looks like an SNES-Era top-down RPG. I am using a sword that grows and shrinks to the length I want, resulting in a BFS, I am using it for spinning attacks with massive reach.

I reach the top of the castle and find the boss, a large yellow structure with some kind of crystal resting on the top. I exchange words with the structure. It has a deep, echoy voice. I again cannot remember what was said. after a few words are exchanged, I am greeted with a dialog box to fight, I wish to speak with the structure longer, but it seems I cannot continue without pressing the button. The structure moves the crystal inside of itself with an elaborate transforming movement. I assume the crystal is its weakness, but I cannot test this theory before I wake up.

I am on a search and rescue team with my family in the middle of a forest. they are in a lower areas and I am on an elevated part. I climb down a wooden wall-thing, and see a spider in the dead center. I feel a tinge of fear, but I hold on and keep climbing down.

we regroup, and are about to call it a day. I don't want to give up yet, I look inside myself, and feel the presence of someone in a southwesternly direction (assuming I am facing north.) everyone agrees to seach there and then call it a day, we head in that direction.

I am the last to arrive. one member of the group is calling on what seems like a cell phone. the missing person answers and says something like, "Be quiet! the spiders are fighting and it's getting good!" I tell him to count his fingers, he might be dreaming. he says he counts 11, is he dreaming? I tell him not to jump off the cliff, but he might be. try throwing some fire or something. he tries, but if he did, I didn't see it. I tell him to count again, he counts 12. I tell him I want to see this.

When we meet up, he is a bald midget with chubby fingers. I try to count his fingers, but he keeps waving them around in strange ways, and I can't keep focused on them. I tell him he must be lying, but then I start waking up. he shruggs, as if saying, "Tried to tell you" when I am almost awake, my first thought is a friendly, "Oh you little bastard..."

After drawing that portal... holy crud it got exciting in the dream world...
___
First going to bed:
Man in a mask. we had a long walk around the science building of my school. out talk ended with him saying something like, "You are not quite ready for the whole truth."
___
After waking up at 6:30 and going back to sleep:
Crazy adventures!

Smashing zombies I am spawning in an industrial strength zombie smasher, I think Nomad might have been there. I got mad because I was trying to record it, and got launched backward. there was some sort of forcefield launcher that was trying to shoot electric forcefields at me. I dodged them and threw the forcefield launcher behind me and got back to trying to record.

Standing on a ledge with either Nomad, or a Guide I have yet to learn the name of, the view is breathtaking. we seem to be talking, or maybe we are just taking in the view.

Looking through Nomad's Dream YouTube channel, laughing at the trolls (Or maybe taking them seriously? don't remember) some crazy stuff there yo, check it out sometime.

Something about someone (Nomad?) shouting, "WIZARDS!" then... laughing?

ended up in Jail somehow... Skyrim jail... nocliped through the bars, went down a pipe and found a sugar cookie with pink frosting and sprinkles?

Madness guides seem to be a good term for them, even if the word was never mentioned...
___
I am in a dark courtyard, there is a fence around the edge. There are 5 stone statues around a central node, arranged like this:
1OO5
.2O4
...3

This song is playing:

Specifically the part where the vocals come in

The statues depict what I described in the dream as demons, I am to choose one. I study their energy and find my attention pulled strongly to #2, and less strongly to #5. I walk up to statue #2.

(Etna)
This is basically what I see, she had a less revealing outfit on than appears in the Disgaea games, and her tongue wasn't sticking out... come to think of it, she was taller... so maybe it was just the succubus?

I glance at #5, a woman with bunny ears... I choose #2, and begin waking up.

I see #2 sitting at a table, with a manly chin, manly stubble, a manly body, eating a manly sandwich before I fully awake. (Lol)

I wake up and ponder what just happened to me, I eventually think of the term Madness Guide... well I can always use another guide, so I'll take it.

Nothing about celebration or anything, but I guess these are the dreams I got for my birthday, or would tomorrows dreams be my birthday dreams? I don't know, but I guess i'll find out.

-Dream 1- pillaging-

Attila the hun was on a ridge above a small village. he and all of his forces charge and begin pillaging the village. I am a passive observer, watching all of this going on without any real emotional attachment. One of the soldiers finds a small child, the mother bursts out of the home and tries to protect her child, she carries the child into the house and attempts to hide him. the soldier follows her into the house. he tells her to lock the child into a nearby dog crate. she does so, hoping to keep the child safe. the soldier drags her into the bedroom, at this point I put up a mental block so that I cannot see what is going on.

skip to next day?

the child manages to get out of the dog crate, the soldier and his mother are hanging (floating?) in midair, they have shrunken bodies and razor sharp teeth. he screams in terror, they scream with bloody rage, he runs, they give chase.


-Dream 2 Raven Knight-

I also have a vague memory of Raven Knight asking if I want to have a shared dream, she had a place in mind that sounded something like Renzor or Reznor... something with an R. the word gave me the impression of a fantastical fantasy setting city.

I had a fairly long exploration-type Skyrim dream, unfortunately the only bit I remember is standing in front of an open castle gate-like structure. I"m about to go in, then I wake up.

I remember having completely random inconsistent dreams, and I vaguely remember Nomad's presence near the beginning of my sleep cycle, I was planning on meeting up with Nomad and creating a ton of portals with him, so I would call that a success. I just hope Nomad can confirm.

Near the end, I was watching anime shows on a projector screen with my mom and two girls I know, and just as I was waking up I remember seeing a youtube-like player, possibly showing images of the girl that I'm searching for in dreams.

Side note, I woke up at 4:20, but didn't realize it until 4:24.

I was adventuring in Skyrim with my friend D, I know I have been adventuring for some time before this dream, but this is where the recall picks up. we are hanging out in the top of a tall wooden watchtower in the middle of nowhere. The tower is in the center of an indentation, the crater-like area is filled with lush, green grass. The area beyond the rim is snowy and Grey. there is a wide exit to the crater in one direction. I look down from the tower window and spot an entrance to a dungeon at the same time as D, we decide to explore and loot it as a cure for our boredom. As we approach the entrance, I see two female humanoid monsters approaching us. they aren't taking threatening stances, so I don't take hostile action just yet. they say they will attack us if we enter. we enter the dungeon anyway.

inside the first chamber is a short tunnel to some steaps leading to a small room with loot strewn about. There is a tunnel from this room to deeper in the dungeon. D and I each pick up a ring off the floor, but nothing else to avoid becoming overburdened. my ring is a silver color with an open loop, and a gemstone. I put it on my middle finger. we note things of value to come back for when we clear out any threats. we enter the second chamber.

After the stairway, there is a large open hallway and a pathway to the right that is just as large. it looks almost as if it is an old tavern that hasn't been used in some time. there are tables and chairs covered in cobwebs in the area to the left. there is sunlight coming from the windows in the pathway to the right. but the atmosphere is still gloomy. we continue forward to the end of the hallway, and open the door. The next room is filled with electronics, It is an exact replica of the room I slept in from the time I was three to about twelve years old. there are ps3 chords and controllers strewn across the bed, and old arcade cartridges are in random piles around the room. I hear footsteps approaching.

I peaked out of the room. the two female humanoid monsters approaching. I drew my sword and noticed I had equipped a fire-spell to my left hand at some point. one of the monsters transformed into a frostbite spider easily three times my size, and then some. it filled the passageway. we skirmished a bit before I realized I realized I needed a plan or my health bar would drop to zero before I knew it. I retreated back to the room, because the door was too small for them to get in, and I knew the other monster wouldn't prove too difficult to defeat. I asked D if he knew any healing spells, he equiped it to both hands, and golden energy started to seep from him in wisps. I opened the door, the non-transformed monster woman was right outside the door, laying down trying to seduce me. I blasted her with concentrated fire, and slashed her a few times with my sword, using more mana and stamina than I thought was a good idea. Nevertheless, we continued.

I threw a fireball at the spider, right between the eyes. It dodged with more speed than I thought possible for something of its size. my mana was empty, and I didn't want to get close to the fangs. I managed to slice its legs a bit, and with D's healing spell, the damage was minimal and quickly nullified, until he ran out of mana. the spider was doing massive damage to my health bar now, we were both just about dead. I didn't know who would win this battle.

Everything stopped. I had a small chunk of health left but everyone had gotten bored. D and I went back to the treasure room and looked around a bit, I saw a magaman game on the shelf, it had megaman, megaman X, and a megaman game I didn't recognize, or herd of. I woke up soon after.

I am sitting in front of a monitor of some kind. There are two people riding a horse on the screen. One is dressed as Link, and the other is dressed as Zelda. They ride by the camera in a forested area, in the direction of an opening. Behind them out of their view, Chuck Norris/Arnold Schwarzenegger appears and looks at the treeline. A car/horse appears and falls out of the trees and he gets in/on it. He chases after the cosplayers with a butterfly knife, and knocks them off their horse. I see the Link cosplayer hit the ground in a pile of mud, and I wake up.

I am flying through a city either in a helicopter or just on my own, there are skyscrapers on either side of me, going as far in the distance as I care to pay attention to. there are people rioting in the streets below me. I believe they may be fighting zombies. the violence is thick, people are attacking with makeshift weaponry, I see one person using what appears to be using a railroad tie to smash what I hope is a zombies skull in.

I am vaguely aware of my surroundings. I sit at a school computer terminal. I am in some sort of university for studying magic. On the computer, I am exchanging messages with different people. one of which tells me that people are starting to talk about me. I exchange a few messages with Raven Knight, then the dream skips to me cuddling with some random girl, the skips again to me standing in front of raven knight in an open area, possibly overlooking a city. While I am speaking with her, It crosses my mind that she is being used as a battery, possibly to power a city or something like that.

I was walking through a large city with a female companion. Perhaps it was someone I have met in a previous dream, I cannot say. we were looking for a voodoo shop, because I was curious about the possible energy differences. We found one quickly enough. we entered without making a sound, we didn't want to disturb the shaman if they were in the middle of a ritual or something. "And you are sure it was a demon who possessed you? It wasn't a fox?" I heard. the shaman, who was female, was talking to a Japanese woman. I could sense the Japanese woman's uncertainty, but she replied with a yes. the shaman also sensed this uncertainty, but did not comment on it. Instead, she said something about my companions texting. we waited outside for a few minutes until the shaman was done with her patient. when we entered, the shaman asked me to follow her to the corner of the room. The entire room was covered with strange trinkets on every wall. she took me to a painting of a woman with four breasts, two above the other two, and told me not to look at the vagina (even though the painting was of her midsection upward). I tried staring at the eyes, but this proved incredibly difficult. my eyes would move downward no matter how many times I corrected them, and before long, I coudn't control my eyes at all, they would go every direction possible, as if I were having a seizure.

I was overcome with a strange, powerful energy. I couldn't stand, I stumbled over to the chair and laid down. The energy felt different than my normal energy, I could only think of voodoo as a possible solution. It was incredibly potent, and I could do nothing but lay on the couch. I made a comment to the shaman, about it being different than my normal energy. this piqued her interest, she wanted to learn about my energy. I said it was subtile, nothing like this. I started slipping in and out of consciousness. from what I can gather, I stayed on the couch for perhaps several hours, then I traveled out of the city with my companion before I awoke.

after I awoke, I felt saturated with energy, neither positive nor negative energy, but it felt just as potent as the dream. I laid there for a few minutes until it dissipated enough for me to think straight, then I got up.

In the bowels of central city, Cournal Mustang had become the next wrath. It was all I could do to dodge his strikes. Lucky for me, his gloves had been destroyed, so he could not use flame alchemy. Realizing I would lose if I didn't do something quickly, I summoned my energy. I sent invisible waves of energy that wrapped around and lifted him into the air, leaving him helpless and unable to move. Scar came up behind him and blew up his brain inside of his skull. It would regenerate, as he was a homunculus, but it bought us a small amount of time.

I was walking home from somewhere, at first I was able to walk just fine, but after awhile, I became tired, and I was reduced to crawling. It was as if my limbs would not listen to my brain unless I forced them to. I got tired of not being able to move, so I called a taxi. I asked the taxi driver to take me to the town I live in. we started moving. for the longest time, I just sat there, trying to regain my strength. I watched the buildings turn to trees, and the trees turn to mountains, but I did not realize that this was the incorrect way to my hometown, as I live in a populated area, not in a mountain. I started seeing other cars, like the one we were in. the taxi driver seemed to be distracted by the other cars that looked like his, so he got out some sort of radio and spoke into it, asking the cars to change colors or something like that. Suddenly all the cars were white with a black stripe down the middle, I thought that was strange for all the cars on the road to suddenly look the same, it reminded me that I may have not given him enough info to get to my house. I gave him my address so that he could get back on the right course. This made the taxi driver angry, he hunched over, his eyes turned red, and he got a rather nasty scowl on his face. I thought that this may be because I had given him the wrong info before, but I didnt' have much time to contemplate this, as I fell asleep before I could do much thinking.

I woke on a stone slab in a dark shack in my underwear. I was vaguely aware of my cell phone on my right cheek (not the face). I got up, confused, and I walked out a door with a small amount of light shining through the bottom. Outside, the taxi driver and a young blond girl were outside, sharpening meat hooks

(side note, I have never seen a meat hook before this dream, and I am surprised that this is exactly what they had in the dream.)

"Good morning, Meat." said the taxi driver.

I started running, but I became confused when they didn't immediately chase after me. I turned around and asked about it, but they didn't respond. the girl begun approaching me with a meat hook. Knowing I didn't have cell phone service, (I checked when I was running away) I knew my only option was to disarm her. I visualized what I wanted to do, grab the meat hook in mid swing and take it from her. before I knew it, I had the meat hook. I didn't hesitate. I plunged the hook into her back and yanked toward me, the meat hook embedded into her left, shoulder. I yanked it again, and it came out her chest. She didn't make a sound. I approached the taxi driver slowly, not noticing that the girl had simply disappeared completely. I wasn't sure how I was going to disarm him, he had two meat hooks, one in each hand. A meat hook flew at my head, I caught it. I was slightly confused, the taxi driver was throwing the meat hooks at me? the other meat hook flew at my head, again, I caught it. well, if he wanted to make my job easier, that's his choice. I embedded a meat hook in his skull, he was still alive, and I didn't feel like seeing his skull ripped open, so I embedded the other into his back. he disappeared as wall. I sat on the stone slab again, a bit tired, I rested.

I woke up in the same place, in a different paradigm. instead of the cold, creepy place I was in before, I was in a very nice, warm warm bedroom. the stone slab was now a proper bed, and the shack was a very nice room. the door opened, and the taxi driver poked his head in, I could tell he was no longer malicious. the taxi driver had a drink in hand, "Hey, want a Pepsi?" I said sure, even though I don't like Pepsi, He tossed the glass bottle to me, I caught it in my elbow. when I looked at it, it had changed to a mtn. dew. I set it aside and said, "I'll wake up soon" as I was a bit tired of the dream plane, and was ready to wake up.

I awoke.

I was at a school event/field trip. my friends, C, R, and B were sitting at a table with me, we were all eating pizza. R had cooked up a choose your own adventure type game for me, he asked if I wanted to be a sniper or a vampire. even though I thought vampires were silly, I figured they would have an advantage over a sniper, so I picked vampire.

R, "you are walking down the street when you hear a bullet ricochet near you."

I think about the situation, examining my options. Looking for the source of the bullet would be dumb, I would be shot if I just stood there staring.

I replied, "I make a mad dash for some cover."

R didn't answer. he made some marks on a paper and showed it to me. the four parallel lines he had made were vertical down the page, turned at a 45 degree angle for a bit, then went down again to the bottom of the page. the lines represented me and the three friends present, though I didn't understand the scoring system.

I decided to get more pizza, I wasn't particularly hunger, but it was good pizza and I wanted more. I grabbed my plate and walked to the food table, passing a very nasty girl from middle school whom I haven't thought about in years, I hoped she would say nothing to me, she was a little bitch in middle school and I didn't want to deal with her right now. I grabbed a single slice, as I turned to return to the table, she did exactly what I wished she wouldn't do, She made some trivial snide comment about the pizza and me eating it. I flew into a rage, yelling at her all the things I wanted to yell at her in middle school but never have the guts to. She covered her face with her hands and put her face down. this made me angrier, (She could make snide comments, but not handle being yelled at?) I started hitting her on the back. Someone pulled me off, the people sponsoring the trip for the school. I was sent back to the bus.

The bus driver was a really cool guy, he opened the door for me and told me about his life.
