Almost got the advanced task again. I had become lucid earlier as I was being shot at a convenience store. The guy pulled a gun, I stripped it away from him using TK. He pulled another. I walked straight up to him and with obvious fury, commanded him to shoot me (I hate being shot more than anything else in my dreams). He did, it did nothing but hurt. He pissed himself, I shot him in the arm so he couldn't shoot anyone else and walked out.

Something was going on in the parking lot, people were divided into teams. I didn't want to participate and while thinking about what I wanted to do next, remembered the task of the month. I was going to hell. I found a little trailer at the edge of the lot, opened it up and saw a spiraling hole downward. It was a tight fit at first, until I remembered that it was supposed to be easier to get to hell and it opened up wider.

Once there, I met a small little demon who showed me around a bit. He took me along the safer routes. I specifically remember him saying that they didn't get many visitors, to which I responded that I had been there several times before. My recall of the details here are a bit fuzzy. I remember walking through a field of mushrooms that looked like severed human toes. I remember thinking that I shouldn't eat or drink anything from the underworld or else I would be trapped there. I also remember walking past several demons chained up but most were free roaming. I asked if we were going to get to see the devil, to which my guide responded "he's kind of a trouble maker, you don't really want to meet him." but then there he was around the corner.

He was very tall, at least 13 feet. His skin looked like glowing embers and he had two great horns. I ditched the guide and began to follow the devil along a path that was obviously not safe. It wasn't even a path, he just sort of went wherever he wanted. The devil didn't say anything but looked impressed as I walked over hot coals, through burning walls of fire, and even stepped directly on greater demons of fire who wrestled against their chains in protest. It wasn't until I stepped on a demon of ice that I showed any discomfort. At that point, the devil handed me a red hot brand which I could tap against my feet, the heat of which would linger while I walked through the ice.

We had walked for a ways before I remembered that there was something else I had to do... then my alarm went off. No beer.


Sakamoto Kyu, you keep interrupting my quality time with the devil. Grrrr. So close!

I had been flying around in a lucid dream for a while. I was really just exploring the world I found myself in. It was bizarrely fantastic. The proportions of things were all over the place. Mostly things were much larger than they had any business being. It was also packed with people. I remember thinking to myself "this is quite the interesting lucid dream I'm having" and that's when I remembered the task of the month.

I turned around on this busy street and asked the first person I saw, a young woman with short curly red hair, "This might seem a little strange, but I'm having sort of an existential crisis. What would you say is the meaning of life?"

At first I couldn't understand her one-word answer, so I asked her to repeat herself. She leaned forward and said "Drive. The only thing that gives life meaning is finding at least one thing which really drives you. Something which so consumes you that you are compelled to do it. Something you cannot deny."

A passerby heard our conversation, a little brunette with dwarfism, "I couldn't help but overhear what you two were talking about and I totally agree. Even Zombies seem to behave with purpose. They have a hunger they cannot deny which causes them to pass on their traits, in this case zombism. Now, they didn't choose that purpose, that purpose chose them, but now we, we have that choice don't we?"

At this point the two girls started talking to one another about things I couldn't understand. I think they were mentioning groups of people they were having trouble with and rattling off names. I sort of realized that I must be in the faery world for all of this stuff to be so fantastic.

The brunette then said something to the effect of "you know, you're right. I've got something I've got to take care of." She then blew a small clear whistle, but no sound came out. I then heard what sounded like rattling, tapping, and scraping all in impossible rapid fire and so fast that the doppler effect was warping their tone. She rose one leg under which several corgi's carying various supplies ran under until the largest one came winding through the crowd with blinding speed to stop just under her. She plopped down, grabbed hold of the harness it was wearing, and was gone in an instant.

I thought to myself, "I have to tell Sherrina" (my roommate) and woke up.

Had a short little LD this morning. Randomly encountered a man in red devil pajamas. It was basically a full one-piece set of long johns complete with a button on removable tail and a hoodie with horns on it. I immediately remembered the monthly task, grabbed his hand and said "hey Satan, lets go get a beer in hell." He led me around what appeared to be a college campus, but before we could find the door to hell, I woke up.

Fragment the first:
Long road trip with the roommates. Stopped at an old home of mine wanting to show them our old clubhouse. One roommate fell into a hole and broke her ankle.

Fragment the second:
Found an "armored leech" in an alley. It was roughly the size of an American Football and looked like a cross between a leech, a lamprey, and an armored sturgeon. It attached itself to my roommates shoe (different one from before). She said it wasn't attached to her directly, but her shoe was indeed full of blood from an injury she sustained (her foot had been crushed). I used my healing powers to fix her foot.

Lucid:
I had just time traveled to the future. It was pretty cool. People were zipping around on devices that looked like gyroscopically stabilized electric unicycles. When they ran out of power, they were collapsible and you would just return them to a vending machine. If you weren't done with your trek, and didn't want to walk the rest of the way, then you could get another one fully charged.

I was walking around just taking in the sights when I noticed a checkpoint. People had to walk through big things which looked like the scanners at airports. There was a man in front of me in line with a book. Upon seeing this, the person obviously running the checkpoint (played by Morgan Freeman) noticed his book. He told him that all books needed to be scanned to make sure they weren't contraband. The man inserted the book into a machine, and the scan came back that it was indeed contraband. I too had a book. I hadn't noticed it before, but I was carrying around a graphic novel. I was then asked to do the same as the man in front of me.

I did so, and this time I watched with curiosity to see what the machine would pop up. The error it threw was something like "not biblically compatible". I remember wondering if this was in reference to the Christian Bible, or if it was more like "biblio" as in "book". Seeing as how this was the distant future, both were a possibility.

At that point, Morgan Freeman got on his com and called for a swat team, we were to be arrested as subversives. I suppose he expected us to submit. He was right about the first man, he was wrong about me. I had been moderately lucid this whole time, really just observing. I then took the reins.

Six glowing sickly-green orbs roughly twice the size of basketballs appeared behind me chained to my back. These are conduits to the concept of venom. Everyone was quite shocked to see them appear. Morgan Freeman exclaimed "what the-?" and I issued a palm strike to two people, infusing them with venom. They immediately fell over unconscious. I reached out and grabbed Morgan Freeman, but he merely responded with "You're not the only special person, I'm resistant to these sorts of things."

A smirk crossed my face as the orbs disappeared and reappeared as vivid white. I punched him in the face and electricity surged through his body. He fell over. I then grabbed the heads of the two unconscious people and basically erased their memories of the past couple of hours with a good shock. I was wondering what I should do next when I realized that Morgan Freeman wasn't down for the count, he was trying to get the books transported somewhere so at least they would be separated from us and used as evidence against us.

The machine they were in was housed in a large brick pillar, so now the white orbs disappeared and reappeared as floating brown rock spheres. They seemed rather paradoxical as they seemed to shine stone. I realize that doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's what they do. Now that I was aligned with earth, I pushed over the brick pillar like it was made of straw and retrieved both books. I handed the first book back to its original owner and said "you know, we should probably get out of here".

At that point, I let the reins slip back to my subconscious and simply observed. I was then on a journey with this person to find an equal. It had been determined that I was probably the most powerful person on the planet due to my abilities. We were flying around the wastelands at this point when I came across a small girl fighting a giant ogre.

At first she appeared to only be dancing. It wasn't until the ogre tried to smash her that she did a little hip twist which corresponded to thick vines bursting from the ground up and over her, hardening into wood instantly blocking the blow. She then did a little kick and spin, which caused vines to grab the ogre and throw him. She was apparently the last of the wood dancers and controlled plants with her body. It was apparently a very intuitive process. It couldn't be done with thought. It was done through emotion. She did little kicks, twists and so forth causing the ogre to be smacked around, bound and thrown. Eventually it fled. I doubt she was my equal, but she sure was cool, so I landed to say hello before I woke up.

This dream too place mainly in third person. The two main characters were played by Will Smith and Harrison Ford. I do not recall their names. The setting was sort of a wild west place/time, although the slaves had been freed several years prior.

In any case, the two main characters really didn't like one another. They had both been summoned to a particular rich man's home. It turned out to look more like a castle from the outside, but the inside was apparently a huge labyrinth. Once they both entered, they were locked in and had to find their way out. At first they took different routes, each refusing to travel with the other. Eventually, however, their paths would converge. Throughout the maze, there were various challenges. Monsters to fight, puzzles to solve, etc. The last challenge required teamwork to solve but could only accommodate one clear winner. Harrison Ford took the win.

Both participants then went on to a huge stage, and a large crowd of what looked like automatons filed in. They were androids, but made out of Victorian clockwork. They then proceeded to give the reward for making it through the labyrinth. Harrison Ford stood on a raised platform, while one of the automatons climbed up to the top of what looked sort of like a telescope. There he loaded a cylinder into a small hole and then smashed it downward with his hand. This caused a beam of light to instantly vaporize Harrison Ford. From the vapors rose a light, which then chased down and flowed into Will Smith, who kind of got vertigo and then passed out.

When he woke, he found himself very confused by his body. What had happened was that the consciousness of Harrison Ford and Will Smith had been completely integrated into one mind. This wasn't two minds in one body, it was everything together seamlessly. Basically, they had become a new single person who was mentally a complete combination of the two, yet inhabiting the body of Will Smith. From then on, it was kind of like a really messed up thought experiment. Both characters had a wife and a daughter, but he could only see one as Harrison Ford's wife and daughter were afraid of him (being a black man in the old south). Additionally, being around Will Smith's wife was uncomfortable because it felt like cheating on Harris Ford's wife. Then there were the random interactions with people. Imagine simultaneously experiencing superiority, fear, and hatred along side compassion, friendship, and camaraderie... with EVERYONE you met. Every single human interaction, including internal dialogs, was a mashup of emotions, biases, and confusion. The task then was to resolve those issues, untangle the confusion, come to terms with those emotions. Otherwise, there was no possible way for this person to function.

I wish the dream had continued, but I woke up around there. I imagine that if it led down it's logical progression that the two men would be separated again, and become friends or something. All in all, that was a pretty awesome dream.
