I am reading a dream journal posted by Raven Knight, I am sucked into it and become her. I am in the middle of a wasteland, there are a large number of cars just outside of a fenced area, an arena of some sort. the cars are run down and look mostly salvaged. Inside the arena there is a man in a van, he appears to be in distress. my suspicion is quickly confirmed, he rolls out of the car just in time to miss his skull being bashed in by a bat wielding raider on an ATV I hear the crowd make some noise. the van's windows are now broken, It appears to be some sort of sport, the ATV exits the arena through a small gate in the fence. I teleport to the man (without realizing it) and ask if he is ok. I quickly learn that he is the king of these people, and is being ridiculed for some reason that I don't remember. I decide after listening to his story that I should get him out of there. -some pieces missing- the man is in my driveway, I let him into the house with disbelief, as I believe that I am awake, I just know that I need to get him back onto the dream plane. I still partially think I am Raven Knight, so I yell out, "Q!" several times. I realize that I am in the physical plane (not really), so he can't do anything. I ask the man where the portal was, in hopes it was still open, he takes me to the spot. I can tell exactly where it was, and stare intently, seeing a faint shimmering mass of particles, but I can always see those in waking life, so I didn't think it was anything special. I went back in the house, very worried about how I was going to fix this, I started yelling at my family because they were hindering me. eventually my dad got so mad he took the man away. this just made me more stressed, I couldn't figure out what to do and yelled at my family more... I woke up. ___ I think this is the fourth or fifth time I was Raven Knight in a dream, I have an idea why this may be, but I'm still not 100% sure.
I was playing some sort of relationship video game. I was somewhere in the middle of the game, during a bathtub scene. there were two girls there with me. One had long, black hair an inch or two below her shoulders. the other one had short hair of an unremembered color. I messed up the scene and decided to start the game over because I had no idea what I was doing or who anyone was. the game started with me in the bathtub, I sat there for a bit, unsure what to do. I started hearing frustrated sighs from outside the door, so I decided to check it out. outside the door opened up to a large, fairly dark cavern of a reddish rock material, I could not see the ceiling, not that I was looking. and there were stalagmites scattered about in various places. I followed the sighs up a pathway to a plateau where the short-haired girl was trying to draw spongebob, there were several scratched out sketches littered about. the short-haired girl noticed and greeted me, we talked for a bit, then she started singing the spongebob theme song, (who lives in a pineapple under the sea) and I would say the choirs. partway through the song, she began approaching me, and by the time the song was over, she was almost on top of me. our eyes locked, she smiled, and just when I thought something was going to happen, she got off of me, scampered away a few steps, and said, "But this isn't that kind of game." with a coy smile. I wasn't angry, I just smiled and agreed, because I knew there were very few opportunities for sex in this game, and they were very hard to get to. The girl flashed, and for a second, she looked like an angel, then she dissapeared (I think, I'm not sure what happened to her exactly) Something drew my attention to an old worn down shack in the cave, I decided to investigate it. I approached the door and went in. the long haired woman from earlier was inside, I seem to remember her floating a few feet from the floor. she flashed demonic, as the short-haired one had flashed angelic and the long haired woman chased me through the house. I escaped by jumping out the second story window. -missing time?- Both of the women have dissapeared or been kidnapped, I am making my way through the dungeon, fighting through monsters, traps, and solving the puzzles that I can't just smash my way through trying to find them. there is a dungeon master taunting me about how I'll never make my way through the dungeon, though I can tell by his voice that he is a bit worried about my progress. I blow up a few strategically placed abandoned houses that were deliberately blocking my path. all three of the houses that I arrived at had a volcano next to it that spewed out bombs instead of lava, so I used those to blow the houses up. the third house I almost had destroyed when I decided to investigate it for anything useful. I found a secret passageway inside of an urn of some kind and went into it. Inside was a cavern at least twice the size of the red one, there was a thin, greenish-blue mist that obscured the other side of the cavern. floating rocks served as platforms to places unknown, there appeared to be some sort of nexus in the middle of the cavern, emitting a greenish energy into the cavern. there are polygonal creatures that appear to be attempting to push me off, but they just go right through me. I jump to a few large platforms, before waking up.
I am in a large city that resembled what I think of as new york. Random people off the streets are coming up to me and trying to convince me to buy some random thing, I knew what it was in the dream, but I have forgotten what it was. I just remember in the dream I was wanting them to leave me alone, because I had no interest in buying it.
I was reading my email, I had two emails from nomad. I found it odd that his name in the email had been changed, it was still legible, but some of the letters looked like alt-code letters. (hold alt and press a few random numbers on the number pad) Nomad wrote something about the four elements our dream bodies needed. I remember hearing the words, but I don't remember what they where. the third one was something strange like cheesy carrot. in the same email, there was a giant map of a lush world, I thought it might be the green moon. there was some kind of blue overlay in certain areas. I was being told that the blue overlay shows inconsistencies in shared dreaming claims, and the events in the shared dreaming claims could not have happened. the lush world on the screen seems familiar, as if I have been there many times before.
I had donated enough money to meet with the developer of Grandroids, Steve Grand, as well as see an early prototype of the program to see how the creatures had evolved in the program so far. We got out of the car and sat on the grass. Again he warned us that this was an early prototype and not to expect much. He opened his laptop and the program booted up. I was excited, but I was trying to keep it in check so I wouldn't be dissapointed. He navigated to a group of 3 creatures, they looked like crosses between an elk, a dog, and a deer, with really large eyes. I was blown away by how realistically the moved. We were all sucked into the computer, I started playing with one of the creatures, they now looked like giant puppies. the developer was discussing their needs, and mentioned one need was to be petted. I was already doing that. they were soft and furry, their skin wobbled around as you scratched them, just like a real puppy. the puppy I was playing with fell asleep, so I went back to the group. Steve was demonstrating something by picking up one of the creatures with his foot and setting it on its back. it rocked back and forth for a second and flipped back over so it could walk again.
I am in my house, in the kitchen. I am lucid. I feel the wooden floor with my feet, then the carpet on the stairs. The dream feels real. My brother and dad are there, I tell them they are dreaming, they believe me (they are just dream characters though, I can tell now). I practice instant transmission. I do a front flip and at the apex of the jump I instant transmission to a landing. I instant transmission to the other side of the room, and turn around into a wall, because I had already turned around mid-transmission. I remembered a dream goal, I ran upstairs, feeling the smooth wooden floor and the carpet with my bear feet. I touched the wall and with my hand resting on it, I shouted, "I WISH TO ENTER THE LAND OF AUD!" nothing... I ran into my room, looking at my form in the mirror, I considered donning my reploid form, but I felt I did not have the energy to do so without waking up. I put my hand on the mirror and shouted, in a voice that sounded slightly squeeky, "I WISH TO ENTER THE LAND OF AUD!" again, nothing. I went downstairs and the dream faded to the view of my eyes closed. I recalled the dream for a bit, then sat up, noticing the difference in the amount of power I felt from the dream and my physical body, I immediately knew the amount of intention and energy it would take to visit Aud upon waking, and it was slightly more than the amount I had at my disposal in the dream, I felt a power surge in my right arm, the one that I felt the mirror with in the dream.
I am in a cabin or a lodge or something, the walls are made of wood, and the room is a bit dim. There are picnic tables set out around the lodge. I decide to do a reality check, I look at my hand and start counting the fingers, I count 7, I find this odd, and check my awareness, it seems aware enough, so I cound again.... 6 fingers, I am fairly sure I am dreaming at this point, but I try to grow a new finger just to be sure, a little bump appears next to my pinky... god that's so freaky and real looking. I wake up and forget.
I am in front of a checkout stand at a supermarket of some kind, It has a high ceiling, and it reminds me of Walmart a bit. I don't remember what I am buying, but I reach into my pocket and pull out a penny/button, a paper clip, and a string. Being slightly embarrassed at the lack of money, I swipe a card in the credit card swiper thing. the total rings out to 0.00. I am confused by this, it reminds me of the Denn rpg, but I forget when the clerk says, "that'll cost you nothing."
Where to start... ___ HH I had just finished forming my reploid form around myself and felt a surge of power and pride. I was about to enter the forest and wait at our campsite by the fire so we could fight some orcs together, but it didn't work. Instead, I was pulled into some sort of room, It would have been cozy had the place felt so uneasy, it was lit by a fireplace, there was a skeleton man sitting in a chair turned away from me, I knew he was a skeleton man because I caught glimpses of him from behind the chair. He was saying something incomprehensible, (although I have trouble understanding speech in HH) He started laughing like an evil villan and the room fell apart. I began falling. I tried jetting out of the place, but the gravity was no use, I tried using the teleportation unit, but it didn't work either. Out of nowhere, the skeleton man, or a skeleton warrior of some kind, planted daggers into my shoulder blades, dislodging my arms, and struck me somewhere else that I don't remember, rendering my legs usless, and me unable to move. Another entity, A large, warrior type creature walked up to me and took my energy sword, I could do nothing. This angered me, I may have shouted something, but if I did, he didn't react. I tried to move, to attack him, but I was broken, and he was getting further away. I looked at my body and realized how extensive the damage was. I summoned all the strength I could and pulled myself together (literally) and charged the energy sword on his back. I leaped, grabbed the energy sword, and drove it into his spine. he tried to take a swipe at me, but I was gone. I attacked again, we had a brief teleport exchange. I won by the skin of my teeth, but I won, and sheathed my energy sword. __ Dream I am fighting something in a forest, I don't remember seeing the face of the enemy I am fighting, but I am fairly sure they are orcs. I come across S, I loan her a spare energy sword so she may fight with more efficiency. I have vague memories of receiving it again after the battle. -Later on?- I am walking around up behind my house on my brother's paper route, I notice there is something on my back, I reach for it and pull it out, It's a well made boffing sword (foam sword made for practicing combat without as much pain as wooden swords, or something like that) It's almost too long to wield in one hand, but not quite. It has a skull for a hilt, but otherwise looks like a prop version of my energy sword with a gray and white Halloween color scheme. I draw the other blade, It has the same theme, but much less ornate. I notice how akward it would be for me to fight with two swords, but I don't do anything about it for now. I sheathe my swords, noticing it to be a bit difficult to sheathe the first sword I drew, due to its length, and continue on my way.
I woke up a bunch of times last night, so my dreams are fragmented assortments of seeing leaves and not much else. HH I am crouching by a fire in a lush forest in reploid form, trying to get my body to fall asleep, and waiting for a friend of mine to appear who happens to be interested in the RPG. I think I see them, but I realize it's just my mind playing tricks on me and I will them away, they dissapear. Dream lots of leaves, lots and lots of different views of leaves on trees.
I seem to have acquired a new weapon for my reploid form. ___ I was in HH, practicing different attacks, I shot ice blasts from my blaster, they came back and damaged me, I yanked an Ice shard out of my skull, it cracked apart to reveal an energy sword (It was a BIG ice chunk). It has blue crackling lightning arouind a blunt metal core, I seem to be able to charge the blade untill the lightning appears solid blue. there are several bits sticking out at the guard? (the part between the handle and the blade) that remind me of the master sword.
I am in a forest next to a small hill, it seems to be a clearing of sorts, but there are some sparse trees in the immediate area. I have the impression of an orc face, but that's about it.
I don't think I ever posted the dream were I created/found these caverns, just a heads up. I am hanging out with some friends in a Minecraft base, I hind a hidden alcove in the base, full of cacti. I am stunned for a few second by it's beauty, how the light from the ceiling enters the room and makes it glow, and the fact the I remember it from a previous dream. I call my friends over to have them help explore. I look around, searching for the entrance to the maze I remember having trouble with in the previous dream. I spot the entrance, a small hole barley big enough to walk through. there is a Minecraft zombie guarding the entrance... or just standing there stupidly, not sure which. Either way, it's a threat in my mind. I lunge at the zombie, knock it over, and Cleve it to death with some sort of pickaxe/sword thing. It disappears, and I look upward. again, the sight is breathtaking, the room has an open area, like a lobby. the cacti are on raised platforms, 3 blocks long, 1 block tall and wide. then the room branches into a maze. I take note of some monsters trying to get the jump on us, but I don't pay attention to them, I figure they would be a nice surprise for my friends. we traverse the maze with little difficulty, and we don't run into any monsters either. we exit the maze to find ourselves in some sort of abandoned gun museum. After exploring for a bit, I come across a rather nice-looking shotgun. I attempt to pick it up, but the text, "Achievement Unlocked" appears in small, bold, red letters on my "screen" for lack of a better word. I came to the conclusion that this is DLC, and express this to my friends before waking up.
Shard, I had forgotten about him. I was reading through my old dream journal entries, I found one when I talk about him. I didn't know much about him at the time, but the connection was still strong when I enabled it. He told me I needed dream combat training, because you never know when you will use it. Dream I am standing in a wide open, barren landscape. there is grass on the ground, but it is sparse, there is a yellowish brown sand between the blades of grass. In front of me, I see my opponent, a humanoid (could it have been me?) I almost want to say it was androidish... it was an android of myself. when I looked at him, I could immediately tell his power was four clicks above my own (apparently a measure of power.) but four clicks isn't much, so I was confident in my ability to fight him off. He jumped into the air, and flew at my with a flying kick. I deflect it, and score a hit, knocking him back a bit. the fight continues until I wake up. I refuse defeat, and continue the scenario in my mind, even as I am awake, until I have defeated him.
I have talked to the friend I had this dream with, but they didn't remember anything from last night. I am laying in my bed, my thoughts racing, almost as if I am having a conversation with people I know, I decide to try a reality check. But, I think, If I did a reality check in the normal way, and I'm not dreaming, I'll wake up. I decide to sense my fingers. I put my consciousness into each finger individually, I have 6 on each hand... I start to doubt I'm dreaming, but I tell myself, If I have 6 fingers, I have to be dreaming, no buts about it. I stand up, and the dream scene changes around me. I'm in my old house from my childhood, lucid, but not fully cognitive. I call out for a friend of mine, and they walk around the corner. I tell her to look at her fingers, because they are dreaming. they look and exclaim that they have three. they become lucid, and we talk about dreaming for a bit, then they wake up, and shortly after, so do I.
