non-lucid

I am playing Megaman X, I notice powers that I have never seen in the game before:

Shield -puts up a defensive steel barrier between you and your enemy, it can be suspended in the air.

The hover ability has been improved, now it's more of a rocket boot that enables flight.

"Volcano" -did not get a chance to use this ability, sounds devastating...

Speed up -my running speed is dramatically increased, used during the boss fight.

Multiple different colored shots fired in many different directions (unnamed?)

Warp drive -I warp in rapid succession, skipping points in space, making it incredibly difficult to hit me.

Bow -launches an arrow

as well as some of the abilities from the game

Electric Spark -shoots a ball of electricity, can be charged to create a shockwave

Shotgun ice -Shoots a large, spiked chunk of ice, shatters when hitting a wall or enemy and rockets multiple shards of ice in the opposite direction, causing damage to anything except me standing in the way.

Flamethrower -self explanatory
__

I make my way through the level, the enemies provide little challenge, my main interest is to test out some of my weapons, I notice that the weapon selection grid is packed with more powers than normal, normally it's 5X5, there appear to be at least double that now, as well as the ability to use two shots at the same time.

I reach the boss room, the wall drops, and shuts me in. the boss is a giant metal plant. I test out a few more of my powers, mostly the evasive ones. I take a few shots at the enemy, but since I'm focusing more on evading attacks, I don't do a lot of damage to the boss, it whittles down my health little by little here and there, until I wake up.

I am in a small wooden shack with some other people. I am at some king of summer camp in the woods. we wait for a minute or two, an old man walks in and starts talking to us, mainly me. He is feeding a fire with some kind of bellows system. I do not remember what was said, I do remember his mouth moving, but the memory of the words is not there, it is just silence. He finishes talking and leaves, revealing an open doorway to outside behind him. I walk through it to some sort of outdoor patio area with a ceiling but no walls. there is a light above and a campfire that everyone is gathered around, laying down. I lay down somewhere near the campfire and stare at the ceiling. after a few minutes the lights go out, everyone groans, "oh dear, the lights went out." as we all know it is a prank. I feel something brush against me, it seems to have long, soft, slightly curly, black fur. I reach out to pet it. wetness, something is licking my arm, I find this slightly annoying. I open my eyes to find the lights on and a dog licking my arm, one of the curators dogs, obviously. I try to get it to go to someone else because I find its constant licking annoying.

I had a terrible night sleep, spent 2 hours trying to wild, gave up and went to sleep, woke up again, fell asleep again, then remembered this epic dream!
I think part of this was in deep dream state, but I don't know how much, it starts blending together after a certain point.
____

I am boating through a swamp river, heading to some sort of cult initiation process. I arrive at some sort of platform off to the side of the river, there are two guards next to the river, and at the top of a rising pathway, a high ranking member of the cult. they want me to do some sort of task, I walk twords the cult leader, becoming less and less me as my mind starts to slip, but my conciousness remains. I grow to monstrous size and pick up the cult leader and flick him off of his trophy platform



I am about to leave, when I notice the platform is a much higher rank than I thought, and would be very valuble, I put it in my back pocket. the guards, once dispatched, have cheap plastic platforms, I put them in a different pocket, as to sort them, I feel they would be very useful when capturing people.

-dream skip/missing time/something-

I am sitting at my computer, I notice that there is an update for a game. I install the update, and play the game to see what has changed. I am sucked into virtual reality without noticing. I spend a few days interacting with- an intelligent man that tells me several things I don't remember or understand, he surprised me with his intellect. two women that seem to have a thing for me, and often do things I didn't expect, and an eccentric little girl that is very entertaining with her over the top antics.

I am actually somewhat sad that I'm awake now, because It was a lot of fun hanging out with them.

-meshes with the above somehow, don't know exactly-

the demon causes me to become a machete terrorizer, I start attacking people I know in my place of work, I remember trapping people in a room with me, it seems to be covered with cake, at least I hope it was red cake, I would just walk twords them, making threatening movements with my machetes, until I got bored.

-I forgot the above scenario, and became me again-

I am part of an investigation, the police are trying to find the identity of the machete murderer. I make up excuses, equally to myself and the police, about how I couldn't be responsible for the murders, despite a growing mountain of evidence. as the investigation continues, I suddenly regain the memories of the machete rampage I had. I am overcome with guilt and grief, I turn myself in to the officer, who is not surprised of my identity, then I wake up.

I have been taking a long break from Dream Views, and dreams in general, not intentionally, I just got lazy I guess. But when I had this dream, I had to write it down, and I figured I might as well write it down here too.
_

I am on the pathway I often walk when I walk to school. The stars are out, and there is a woman with me. we are talking about spiritual things. we get to the end of the pathway, and the stars become much more visible as we emerge from the obstructing hills on either side of us. she says, "do you see that?" I look at the stars, and see a black outline of a figure. I look at it for a longer period of time, and it becomes more defined and detailed. I see the figure in full detail, the woman says it is my future self.

It looks to me like a male angel with black wings. It is hovering above a large body of water. It slowly floats downward, and lands on the water. the water becomes brighter, and begins doing something... bubbling? but the vision ends and I am snapped back to the clearing with the woman before I get a good look at what the water is doing.

the woman is in the sky now, lining up with a constellation, the one that seems to have triggered the vision, I notice that she is drawing some sort of box in the stars, about to show me something else.

I say I need to go to the bathroom, she hesitates, saying somthing, but I Retort, "When Cavemen went to the bathroom, they wanted their privacy too." and I left for a bathroom, then I woke up.

(I think she was going to show me something about cavemen, hence the random remark)

Fragment

I am looking at a blob of purple paint on a canvas, I can see that it is WakingNomad.

somewhat vivid dream, I just suck with describing things so I won't bother.

I am in a museum, trying to find the exit. I find my way into a Korean submarine, I ride it to a house I believe is mine. we surface, and I thank the Korean woman piloting the sub. I go into the house and hang out for a bit, when the doorbell rings. It is a woman with long, straight red hair. I get a bad feeling about her, but for some reason I let her in the house. She hands a piece of paper to me, telling me I need to sign for the damages, or it will be my fault. there is some other writing on the paper, i don't pay a lot of attention, but write some random stuff down, and cross some of it out. I put down the pen.

note: when I'm actively dreaming, I tend to have a bunch of dreams involving nomad for some reason, most of them are too fragmented to post, but it seems like i have one involving him, or at least a memory of him at least once a week... odd.

I am flipping through what at the time I think is nomad's dream journal, making a few grammatical changes here and there so it makes more sense and reads better. In the book, I see a picture of a flaming sword the seems to almost fold out like a Swiss army knife and turn into other weapons, I see multiple swords, and a scythe.

Attempted a wild tonight first thing before I went to bed, didn't work, I think because I gave up. but I did have very good recall.

I was standing in a hallway, like that of a castle. in front of me there was a Krogen from mass effect. apparently he was the king of the planet or something like that, some sort of ruler. he was commissioning me to find out why the planet had heated up. I agreed to the assignment.

I am in my spaceship, scanning the planet for unnatural sources of heat, too many to count. virtually the entire planet was a hotspot. so I set the sensors to highlight the source of the hotspots. Now there where two hotspots, one on the north pole, and one on the south pole. I could tell that the source was the north pole, so I began landing the ship so I could update the Krogens of the situation. Unfortunately, I didn't realize my ship was about the size of their castle, so there where some problems with actually landing in the parking space. I realized this as we approached the castle, and put the ship in reverse. I decide to send a team to inform the Krogens instead of landing the ship, and while doing that, I would lead a team to investigate the disturbance.

*fragment of entering some strange contraption, and flying out of it with a spaceship*
*also missing time*

the source of the heat was my dorm mate in collage, (who just happened to be a blackbird) because as I knew him, I was easily able to convince him to relocate to the south pole. this didn't solve the problem, so I had him move to the equator, but he suffocated there somehow.

*missing time*

I'm in a shack, holding a dead black bird, I am feeling depressed because my best friend had died (the blackbird). I leave the shack, and start walking down the road. Every few minutes I have to adjust my grip on the blackbird to prevent myself from dropping it. Eventually the easiest way to hold it is found, holding it with two fingers on the base of the skull, provides the best grip and the least amount of swinging/touching. after about 45 minutes of walking, I see a road. by this time, I'm sick of carrying the blackbird, and voice my opinion. the blackbird disappears. The dream becomes a blurry whirl, and I wake up.

I am at my friend I's house, M is there too. we are playing some sort of mortal kombat game, I am playing as some sort of gremlin with a bladed fist/hand thing, I don't remember who I fought as. I beat I farily badly, so he handed it over to M and simply stated, "Kick his ass." I selected the same charactor, and M selected a dragon, it looked like a silver Riddly from metroid. I fought him and was giving him a fair run when he changed his stratagy, he dove underground and began assaulting me by attempting to strike me from underground with his clawed fist as big as my charactor.

I timed my jumps to avoid his claw, and counterattack. It began to feel like a boss fight that I had memorized he was so predictable, then I realized I had been looking at the wrong health bar, instead of me being near full health, I had one hit to go, M burst out of the ground. Knowing that one hit would kill me, I focused on dodging his attacks and landing blows where I could, I got his health within a few hits of my own, and the screen disappeared, I looked around and realized it was in the next room over with M and I. I thrashed at the buttens wildly, hoping to score a hit, I tried the grapple button, but I was too slow, I could tell that I had lost.

I woke up.

Created a base with my gloves, they have the power to edit the environment.

put up a single snowball turret

Defended base from some kind of pig-things that walked on two legs, Dream characters. I opened the radial menu of my gloves, and select delete after I realize it will take forever to kill them normally, and they just disappeared.

Created several rooms inside the base, the one that I remember best is the game room.

woke up, still tired, fell asleep

fragmented memory of exploring a black and white chess floor hallway thing, I made a mental note of some sort of cave thing that went downward, and passed it. Found some stairs and some old guys voice is taunting me or something as I go up them. I either woke up, or the recall is gone.

Then later, possible dream re-entry point

I am in my base, My gloves, when I hold them up to the screen, show a yellow image of my hand, I held them both up, and it triggered a surreal experience, I was sucked into the monitor, everything turned black and white. I was told, Do not go to the ceiling, or you will be lost to the chaos. I looked up and there was just static for ceiling. I noticed that If I raise up my hands, I float upward. I turn a corner, and the wall in front of me is a giant mouth, It is telling me something, I can't remember now, something about the plane I have accessed, I think it might be a portal, so I try walking into it while it's still talking, everything distorts, the mouth is as solid as a wall, so I turn around, and start walking away. I accidentally raise my hands up for some reason, and float to the top. everything goes black and chaos-like, and I hear something along the lines of "I told you" or "You have been assimilated. then I woke up.

after I woke up, thought about my base, and thought about how awesome it would be to bring my friend to it, I fell back asleep, I think I Wild'ed, because I was lucid after this.

My base is in the middle of a giant complex, possibly a Labyrinth. I am in the game room of my base. I look around, one wall has 8 plasma screen televisions in a 2x4 grid, with a larger one on top of the grid in case looking at the television grid is too much for someone. I contact my friend, He said something about me having to go get him. I figured it wouldn't be such a big deal. (I did this next part automatically, so I'm just trying to make sense of the experience) I lifted my consciousness above the maze and looked for him, I noticed the underground caves that I saw in the previous dream and made a mental note of them. I saw my friend, and dropped my dream body in the same area as him. I asked if he wanted to see my base, and if he knew he was dreaming. he did, and he was, so I used the same process to set us both down in the game room. He said, "I've got to say, This is a really nice base!" he flopped on the couch and started playing the PS3. He said something about me not having a Wii, I replied that I have one in Waking life, so why would I need one in dreams? I asked him if he wanted to explore the caverns that I had spotted earlier, "Ehh..." he replied as he held up the ps3 controller. I figured playing was better than watching in a dream, so I picked up a controller and started playing with him.

We where playing some sort of 2D car game, pressing the left directional button would make your car inch forward, the faster you pressed it, the faster your car would inch forward. there was lots of really neat artwork in the game that made up for the lack of gameplay, I played for what seemed like 15-30 minutes before we got to a shop, I looked at the inventory, there where several items, but something told me to buy Phoenix feathers, but I woke up right as I tried to click "Buy."

Last few days I've been just focusing on my recall, no goals as of yet.

I was searching Google for something, don't remember what. I came across some file-hosting/pay-referral scheme scam thing.

-Dream Shift-

I was looking at the same referral thing in a really old national geographic magazine that I was reading. I was near the end of the magazine, so I flipped the pages backward. It was a fairly thick magazine, I stopped every now and again to look at pictures.

-Dream Shift-

Playing D&D with a friend of mine and his girlfriend. She finished off a goblin with her "Quivering Palm Strike" monk power. my friend said, (as the dungeon master) "The goblin's hand turns into a vortex, It spits out revealing clothing, and a bunch of mustard." I just look at his girlfriend with a perplexed look. Then I woke up.

I woke up with the feeling I wasn't supposed to remember this...
well I did, so tough luck.

(All of this happened so quickly I'm not 100% sure if it's in the right order...)

There was a man in front of me in business attire, I wanted to say the word, "Templar" when I saw him, I'm not sure if I did or not though. He asked me what the password was, I told him I didn't know what he was talking about.

I noticed the presence of someone behind me, a seemingly friendly presence that made me think "Ally" I also noticed the area around me was Grey and full of fog, kind of like the animus from Assassins creed without all of the floating symbols.

The guy that made me want to say Templar mentally assaulted me (for not telling him my password?), I don't remember what it felt like as of waking up, but whatever it was, it made me clutch my head and double over.

-Happened at roughly the same time as above-

I am looking at my yahoo mail login, the fields are blank, and I can't remember my password, or what I changed it to.

I really need to stop being lazy and start posting my dreams here again, I had a dry, no-dream spell and I got lazy. Anyway!

I was laying in my bed, I was really hot, but I was too tired to do anything about it. I looked over to my closet, It was a projection screen television about the size of two and a half doors. On the screen there was a picture of a bird of prey soaring in the sky, the picture had some static fuzzing around, but not too badly I got up and grabbed the remote that I somehow knew was right next to me and flipped the channel a few times. Same thing on every channel. I pressed the guide button, there was one channel that didn't have the bird of prey, G4. it was reviewing some romance/drama Japanese anime game/movie, I wasn't interested. I flipped through a few more channels and realized that I was missing a large portion of the list, not that I ever watch most of it, I thought about how it was pointless to have so many channels and not watch any of them, but the thought passed.

there was more, I think the rest had something to do with the corner of my bed, but when I try to recall it, all I can think about is a fuzzy memory about a doll head, but it doesn't feel right, I'm probably thinking about it too hard and my mind is making things up.

A spartan was sitting in a cave, there where some marines with him. An elite with an energy sword walked in the cave entrance. Realizing the Spartan had no weapon within reach, the Elite walked up to him slowly, attempting to instill fear. With no projectile weapons, the spartan could only count on his knife. The elite swung his sword, The spartan sprang up, grabbed the Elite's arm, and stabbed him.

Then they where outside the cave, The elite had split his energy sword into two energy short-swords, but the spartan has the same.

They clash.

-The dream shifts-

The spartan is now a girl with Black hair and red highlights, the elite is a man, they are still fighting. The girl's Third eye explodes with a black energy, (Although I don't sense any energy, I just see it, so I'm assuming this is a dream character) The energy forms a Sinister black structure around her, it is covered in spikes, or rather made of giant black spikes. there is a black dome at the top, it has a blood red ring around it's center-point.

The ring fires a red lazer around it in a circle, causing an explosion of energy everywhere it touches. (I remembered seeing, or initiating a much stronger version of this power. hers was weak in comparison, but I don't remember where I saw it though.) She loses control of her power, and another power spurts from her third eye, this one is rocky and Grey, I remember seeing eyes all over it. The two powers fight each other, and carry the girl away. the man is just staring with disbelief at this point.

The girl is split into two bodies, a red hared one, and a black haired one. she appears not to notice the fact that there are two of her. She comments on the fact that she didn't remember having red highlights.

The scene changes to a comic book.

the girl is in her room, the spartan walks in. she is stunned. She grabs a toilet plunger and hits him with it, no effect. it breaks and doesn't phase him. they look at each other awkwardly, then I wake up.

Notes - nondream - I was thinking about nomad's "Secrets of the Dreamworld" post, and I remembered something Shard, my guide, Said, "Everyone has a shard, I am one of many." It matched up, at least in my mind, with what Nomad's post said, something about, "Gawn split his soul into two halves, one half he shattered into millions of pieces and bound them to the souls of humans, and he kept the other half." the implications of this hit me like a brick and it was all I could think about until I fell asleep, so I was unable to think straight enough to try to look at a reploid-robo in a mirror for Nomad's Serial Dream RPG. On the plus side, I had 4 dreams, so that's always a plus.

-Dream/right before I started-

I saw 3 unfamiliar energy signatures, two where medium sized, seemed male, and one was smaller and seemed female. I knew it was something about training. I remember doing a slow motion power-punch at one of them, he blocked it, but was knocked backward and slid about 5 meters, though he never lost his footing. I could sense approval.

-Dream 1-

I was a knight, my friends had been captured and imprisoned in a dungeon. I was trying to save them. I had just fought a tough opponent, and was severely weakened, so I was relieved when I opened the door and saw my friends cages, they where still alive. the cage on the left held the party's rouge, she had long red hair and she was a notoriously bad lock-picker, so bad that I took up lock-picking so that we could get things open. The cage on the right held our ogre, twice my size, but as far a ogres come, he was.. well, he doesn't eat us, so I suppose that's a good start.

I had just gotten to the cage when I heard someone behind me, "I knew this wouldn't be that easy." I turned around to face my new foe, a guard, but he had a dagger, one hit and I knew I would die, so I grabbed my shield and held it up, waiting for an opening. I blocked his dagger 4 times, on the fifth hit, I bashed him, grabbed my war-axe from my side, and cleaved him. his body crumpled. I didn't bother looting the body, my friends where more important at the moment, I had to free them before more guards appeared. I picked the lock on the rouge's cage first, the lock opened. the rouge stepped aside, I saw a treasure chest behind her. My eyes widened. I heard a growl next to me, I looked up and saw an impatient ogre in the adjacent cage with his arms crossed.

-Dream 2-

I am walking down the street in a dangerous part of town. I knew that people are regularly killed here, so I am a bit wary. I also know that a dark green car is usually seen around the victim, I am keeping a lookout for the green car. I see a Lime green car, In my mind, I know there is nothing to fear, but panic kicks in. I run down the street as fast as I can and turn into the first door I see. I run inside a bank, but I know that the bank works with the killers.

-Dream 3-

I am a collage student, walking down the hall. I see a friend of mine mixing a bucket of black paint. I sit next to him and mix some red paint with him. there is an unfinished painting on the wall in front of us, a recent project my friend has been working on undoubtedly. Somehow, my feet got stuck in the paint bucket, It feels really weird. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get my feet out of the bucket without spilling paint all over the floor. I walk out into the courtyard.

-Dream 4-

I am looking for something to buy. a book, but I don't know what book. I go to a woman's home because she is selling thing out of her house. when she answers the door, the first thing I notice is that she is attractive, but she is also unattractive at the same time, she invites me in. I notice a SNES, but I don't really care at the time. I look around, see a few neat things, but nothing I would be willing to buy. I keep thinking to bring up dreaming and mystical stuff, but I keep hesitating, and then the dream is lost.

I was in a very large room with an enormous ceiling, there where people everywhere. The mob was so thick that I couldn't walk through it. the building itself looked like a church gathering hall, everyone was chatting, It was calm and I was dishing up some food from the food table.
