    1. 4th Aug 2013 Various fragments, Vehicle based game, And that's why ragdoll physics glitch out

      by , 08-04-2013 at 11:17 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1(fragments):

      I was playing some game, which was third person game where i controlled some character which had some special powers. There was one stealth level where i had to get through some kind of train station, mostly grey-ish colors. There was weird security system which i couldn't figure out, i failed and had to escape some guards in blue uniform. Then i used some ability to jump of the top of big building and then had to find way to some kind of lab through site.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was making and testing some mission in a game where i had to control some vehicles and destroy enemy bases. The central part of map was surrounded by roads and rivers and was mostly empty with exception of one enemy base, because i haven't finished it yet. During the test i had to use few land and water based vehicles to fight through enemy's, then upon reaching that base i switched to some heavy tank with artillery cannon and two more side cannons, but enemy had some very overpowered machinegun reinforced points. I went back to editor mode and switched their placement, then tested again, and then editor mode again, thinking where to put them.

      Dream 3(fragments):

      I was watching some video that explained why ragdoll physics in games tend to glitch out, apparently it was because of ragdolls colliding with light(Dream Logic!).

      Dream 4(fragments):

      There was discussion on some forums about some weird metal melee weapons and then i could test some of them.

      Dream 1:

      I was in some FPS video game that had used some elements from STALKER, like radiation and anomalies, but was happening in some desert. There was an enemy base i had to attack and some AI controlled character was following me and i had to defend him as well. I was trying to find best way around the base, including stealthing, ending up failing due to obstacles or something else and replaying the mission a few times, one time there was some anomaly that fired flares or something. Then decided to just go with direct assault. I've had some gun that fired high explosive bullets, though for some reason it was not effective versus enemy soldiers, they were taking damage from direct hits only, so i switched to some other weapons. Enemies came out of the base and i was shooting them while taking cover behind one of wrecked cars, then i ended up successfully clearing the base as well.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was in some video game and i was in some complex and there was something about dragons.

      Dream 3(fragments):

      I was playing some FPS, coop with SilentEternity. It looked somewhat similar to minecraft, except not that blocky, there were slopes and such. We were doing some mission where we assaulted some kind of complex underground, activated it's self-destruction sequence and had to escape, sliding on very long slope down and then finding portal of some kind at the very bottom.

      Dream 4:

      I was in some strategic game, controlling some base, ordering some researches and unit building. Then i opened global map, which don't looked like earth at all, there were much more separate continents for one. We controlled only small partion of the map and there were various other factions of different color that we had to fight, and that were fighting between themselves as well. Red faction controlled one of the continents fully and had two of strategic points here. Our faction was dark on the map and controlled one continent fully as well, but with only one strategic point. it was not the aim though since we were going for some other victory condition.
      Other than two fully controlled continents, most of other continents were controlled by various other factions partially, and we controlled parts of some as well. I then sent some air transports with forces to attack resource points of white faction, but though units didn't hold it for too long due to white faction having heavy bombers, it was enough. I've got enough resources for some endgame tech that apparently added some kind of spaceship unit and unlocked another research of some green beam weapon. I've needed more resources.


      Dream 5(fragments):

      I was playing Front Mission 3, but it was different. There was some mission in some underground complex, there i've had to fight four enemy wanzers with four of my wanzers, they were all roughly in weapon range from starting point and additionally the spawn positions could be selected more widely. One of my wanzers had some claw-like weapons and massive shoulder mounted cannons and looked really cool with dark blue color scheme, but it had lowest hp. Then also i've had wanzer with some shotgun-like weapon that activated some skill right as i placed him before first turn even, and auto-attacked nearest enemy. Then during the turn, the low hp wanzer took alot of damage, but then i've attacked enemies with my wanzers and dealt with them quite quickly. Another one of my wanzers had some kind of plasma/energy shotgun weapon that dealt very high damage. Soon enemies were destroyed but mission didn't ended. My wanzers automatically progressed through complex into another area, where there were four more enemies, one of which had flamethrower.

      Dream 6(fragments):

      I was browsing some forum about forum games and there was some discussion about dragons.

      Dream 1:

      I was playing Quake 1 using my old mod apparently, and in coop with someone, and also some custom level that was really really huge, and mostly empty. It was some kind of work-in-progress level that was supposed to be combination of levels from a different mod, and it was mostly happening in a castle. After a while we managed to find the part of level where there were actual enemies and pickups, i've gotten The Acid Gun, The Plasma Gun and The Minigun(An actual weapons from the mod), then after an elevator there was a room with scrag type enemies. Then later there was some area with lava and a bridge, guarded by some weird enemy that had very effective defense versus projectile attacks.
      Then after going through teleporter, camera switched top-down and started looking more like Doom, there was very weird platforming segment with teleporter mazes and weird navigation. But soon we have reached the top of the area, where camera switched back to first person and where we had to deal with some kind of upgraded mancubuses. Then after another portal there was huge arena and i was playing coop with SilentEternity now. We had to fight through horde of various Doom enemies, some were custom, and also at least four cyberdemons.


      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was playing some game where i had to control some kind of cyborg and there were two more on my side, controlled by AI. We had to go through some indoors complex with acidic lakes to fight enemy team, which consisted of three cyborgs as well, we easily won because AI was not really good at it.

      Dream 3(fragments):

      I was playing another game, in which i had to search through some amusement park for something, there were various characters i talked to, but eventually some enemy helicopters arrived and some ally helicopters, i helped destroying enemy helicopters with some kind of energy cannon then i got into one and we flied to different area, which was some dark city. There i with group of some soldiers had to set up defense and destroy some enemy attack waves.
    4. In the end

      , 07-25-2013 at 05:09 PM (Hyu's Adventures)
      I stand in the middle of the platform, with the gate in front of me and Silver, Yuya and Shinave behind me.
      I hold out my left hand against the gate, and give it a slight burst of energy.
      Some engravings on it light up. I focus on the templars, and sure enough a connection is made to a gate right next to them.
      A portal forms inside the gate in a dark purple color.
      The doors are open, they can simply walk in now.
      I'm nervous.



      After a rather tense minute, some shapes finally emerge from the portal. Templars.
      All 12 of them. This is it.
      They all appear to be rather calm.
      Then again, why wouldn't they? It's not like we'd stand a chance in a fair fight.

      Finally, one of them addresses me. And to my surprise he looks somewhat different than the other templars.
      He isn't wearing a helm, and his weapon of choice seems to be a sword rather than a lance.
      How curious. Do the templars have some sort of leader after all?



      "Oh dragon... It's unfortunate that you have resisted your death for this long."
      "But I see you have finally seen the light."
      "I respect that you stand here, offering to sacrifice yourself in exchange for the life of your friends."
      "It is not an action that I would have expected from a dragon."

      Oh.
      That assumption sort of makes sense I guess.
      The thought that we would fight them is pure insanity, yet I've shown them exactly where we are.

      "Unfortunately the deal is not acceptable."

      He points at Yuya.

      "I'll need the life of the water goddess as well."
      "Both of your lives for Teraluna. We have no interest in the others."
      "Come forward and kneel down."

      He wants to see the look on my face when he executes her in front of my eyes.
      Typical Templar reasoning. They want a show. After all they could just charge at us and kill us all.
      I turn around to look at Yuya. She's not worried at all. In fact she grins. Good.
      I look back at the templar.
      I stare deeply into his eyes and lough out loudly, which confuses him to some extend.
      Finally the feeling of eeriness goes away.
      No more anxiety. No more worries.
      There is only the present now. No future to worry about.

      I nod at Silver to give him the signal to activate the seal.
      The symbols he has drawn on the ground grow all over the platform.



      A transparent bubble surrounds all of us.
      The portal generated by the gate collapses immediately, because as of right now, both gates no longer exist in the same space time continuum.
      Everything within the bubble is separated from normal space and time, at least for as long as Silver keeps it up.
      Nothing comes in, nothing goes out.
      As far as I know, it is the ultimate spatial sealing technique. I've never seen anyone use it before.
      Still, the templars do not seem alarmed. After all there's 12 of them and only 4 of us.

      "And now what little dragon?"

      There is complete silence now. Sound doesn't penetrate the seal.
      I speak in a dark, assertive voice.

      "Why, isn't it obvious?"
      "I am going to kill you all"

      That made him angry. He snaps his fingers and 2 templars charge at me immediately.
      This is it then. This is what I've gambled everything on. Work!
      Phoenix catalyst. Only once before have I drawn power directly from it, instead of using it as a catalyst to amplify my own powers.
      It was when I resurrected Yuya. But of course that used up the entire catalyst. There is nothing left.
      But I do use the same technique in the hopes of having understood what the orb that was given to me is.
      Even though it was just an intuition. But right now, that is all I have.

      The templars that charge at me do not have their lances drawn. Their goal is to push me to my knees. To put me in place.
      To teach me a lesson. But I have other ideas. I propel myself forwards and slap my hands against their breastplates.
      I use the technique and draw energy as hard as I can and concentrate it within my hands.

      I feel some resistance. But it's like slapping your hands against a water surface. It hurts a little initially, but your hands still move straight through.
      Through their breastplates. Through the bodies. I'm going straight through with my bare hands.
      The lifeless remains of their bodies drop to the ground. They are not human bodies. There is no blood. It's like some sort of clay surrounded with skin.

      It worked... It worked!
      I can freely draw energy from the orb. My intuition was right. It is the same type of energy.
      But I have no time to think about this any further.
      Because the templars have now realized the danger, and 3 of them have already rushed past me towards Silver.
      They want to destroy the seal, in case they need to retreat.
      But Yuya is on it.
      She is projecting some of her water spheres towards them.
      Right before impact Shinave casts some kind of frost magic onto them, causing the spheres to erupt into ice spikes.
      They are not strong enough to penetrate the armor of the templars, but they do manage to immobilize them for a moment.



      I draw energy again, focus it into 3 small spheres and toss them at the templars.
      Yet again, their bodies shatter on impact. They won't be able to get to Silver without dealing with me first.
      Too late I realize that this is exactly what they're doing.
      A lance hits me right in the stomach. I manage to blink away before by body suffers the full impact.
      Another Templar is already striking me from another side.
      I block his lance with my hands and give it a pulse of energy, breaking the lance in half.
      I promtly throw the gained head of the lance at the Templar who previously managed to hit me in the stomach.
      The lance shatters into pieces as I try to infuse it with energy, but enough of it discharges into the Templar to incapacitate him.
      A few energy infused punches take care of the Templar with the broken lance.

      To my surprise the remaining templars have not moved towards me at all.
      4 of them stand there, emotionless, in front of their leader who is in anger.
      I don't think he fully understands what just happened. 7 down, 5 to go.
      And although only one of the templars displays any emotions, I don't notice an ounce of fear.

      "Do you really think you can kill us all?"

      I respond with an evil smile and draw my katana from its scabbard on my back.
      That's right, I've been fighting you with my bare hands.

      "Fine."

      Some sort of growth on the leaders left arm becomes visible. It looks somewhat organic and insectoid.
      Extensions reach from it to the necks of each of the templers bodies, all 11 of them.
      With a motion of his left hand, the extensions retract back into his arm and all remaining templars drop dead.
      All Templar bodies slowly begin to turn into something that resembles sawdust.
      Suddenly, an immense amount of pressure originating from the remaining templars aura pushes against me.
      I have to concentrate a small layer of energy around my body to protect it from burning up.

      So much raw power. So this is why the templars were always so emotionless and their bodies so unnatural.
      They were puppets controlled by this single person.
      He confidently draws his own sword and begins walking towards me slowly.

      "You have caused me grief, dragon. These are rather difficult to create you know."
      "They have to be captured when they are but little children, then carefully raised into weapons."
      "It takes such a long time, and now I have to do it all over again."

      Even though right now, I have a virtually unlimited supply of energy, I am afraid of this guy.
      Being in possession of this orb thing, but he is radiating so much energy naturally.

      Here he comes. I draw huge amounts of energy into my katana, hoping to power through his sword.
      But he merely deflects my attack, I do not manage to release the energy. This goes on for a few strikes.
      Each time our swords clash he deflects it skillfully. He has the upper hand.
      Then unexpectedly he charges in close, even though I haven't given him an opening.
      Somehow he manages to get his blade uncomfortably close to my face and I have to blink back.

      I quickly realize that I've been somewhat late. He managed to leave a small cut between my eyes.
      A few more centimeters and that would have been it...



      "Hmm. How odd."
      "Clearly you have the energy to fight me, but you are not good enough of a swordsman to do so."
      "I wonder. Years ago, you fought a Templar in the depths of hell. A fight where none of you had access to energy."
      "A fight against someone who had perfected the art of sword combat."
      "You do not have the skills necessary to have won that fight."

      He is right. I should not have been able to do that. It is something I cannot explain.
      It just happened, even though it should have been impossible.
      And I can feel that this guy uses similar moves. If he hasn't perfected the art of sword combat, he is close.
      I am no match for him. I cannot win in a sword fight. And the only way to discharge enough energy to deal damage to him
      is through my katana.

      "Also I wonder. Where does all of that energy suddenly come from?"
      "You have done something rather curious indeed."

      He charges at me a few more times. Fortunately I manage to deflect his attacks, but it is very close.
      He just has to wait until I make a small mistake.

      "And the dragon does not use his dragon powers."
      "Instead he fights me with what seems to be divine energy."

      I can't use it because both powers clash with each-other. It would rip me apart.
      But he doesn't need to know that.
      He attacks a few more times, and manages a few deep cuts into both of my shoulders and my back.



      "Your time is slowly running out dragon."
      "Not only will your body give in sooner or later, but that white haired friend of yours isn't going to last much longer keeping that seal up either."

      Silver... He doesn't even know the proper reason he is keeping that seal up for, yet he is still giving it all hes got.
      Hold out a little longer... I'll figure something out...

      The templar performs a downwards strike over his shoulder, which I attempt to block directly.
      He somehow angles his body in such a way that he is able to rotate around and punch me in the chest.
      Even though I concentrate most of my energy into my ribs to absorb the shock, they still buckle a little under a loud crushing noise as I'm projected backwards.
      I cough up some blood, but I manage to keep by defensive posture.

      Due to the lung damage I decide to stop breathing entirely, and instead filter the CO2 in my blood using energy.
      An easy technique, usually used to go to locations where breathing is not possible, such as underwater or planets without oxygen rich atmospheres.
      I quickly repair potentially lethal damage using a variety of phoenix techniques.
      My body is taking one hell of a beating, it won't last much longer.

      "It is a shame that I have not found you when you were a child."
      "You have so much potential, you would have made a fantastic asset."

      Right as he readies another attack, something startles him to the point that he looses his focus on me.
      I can feel a new presence. A dark, cold one. I look for it and spot a person that must have just appeared.
      This is not possible... Nobody can enter this space as long as it is sealed. There are no tricks or techniques to circumvent interdimensional seals.
      He immediately looks right at me and pronounces in a loud voice:

      "Death has come for you."

      As he summons an oversized pitch black scythe I understand what has happened.



      "Silver, break the seal... It is no longer of any use."

      The bubble surrounding the platform dissipates. Silver has to lie down from exhaustion.
      Yuya and Shinave look rather worried. They know what it means when death comes for you.
      He looks like a teenager. Somewhat long, black fuzzy hair. Worn and slightly torn black pants and shirt.
      He's very skinny. But the scythe is what really makes it clear what he is. Death. Or a messenger of death.
      I don't know the specifics behind how it works.

      I try to utter the words "Not today". Because that is what you say when death comes for you.
      But my voice is faint and fragile. It's not even because of the damaged lungs.
      He is amused by this and laughs.

      "Good one! I haven't heard that one yet. You may have just made my day."
      "Seriously though, you're coming with me."

      The grip on my katana loosens. I have fucked up.
      This is the end. It's because I took the orb.
      This orb, I don't know what exactly it is, or why it exists. All I know is that it has to do with life energy.
      It plays a role in the birth of things. This is also the reason why I was able to draw power from it. It's the same type of energy as in the phoenix catalyst.
      Because they are so important, each orb is assigned a guardian, so that no individual can ever obtain one.
      Ironically, it is one of the guardians who gave me the orb. And she warned me that death would come for me.
      I am not sure why she decided to give it to me, but I understand that I must now pay the price for having taken it.
      Death acts as some sort of backup protection in case an orb is ever stolen.

      In a moment of desperation I ask:

      "... a minute then?"

      Death looks at me a little surprised. Why would he ever agree to that? What am I even doing with another minute?
      He made it clear that he is here to get me now. He looks at the templar, then back at me.
      Then he shrugs.

      "A minute it is."

      And he sits down.
      What?
      Just like that?
      He is completely carefree, as if he was about to grab some popcorn.

      The templar laughs, realizing that he has already won.

      "You fool! All I care about is your death, nothing else matters to me."
      "You have just lost everything."

      I know. The guardian told me.
      For a moment I believed that Silvers seal would make me invisible to death, and I could use the orb without being spotted.
      In retrospect, that was a rather idiotic assumption. But it is too late for remorse now.
      Not like I had any alternatives anyways.
      But before I go, there is one thing left to do...
      Forget about the future, it is no more. There is only the present now.

      "You asked me earlier how I managed to kill a man who had perfected the art of sword combat."

      My voice has recovered some strength.

      "Yes, I am curious about that indeed."

      I remove the protective layer of aura surrounding my body and focus all of it into my katana.
      Immediately I feel the pressure of the templars aura on my skin. It burns away my clothes and slowly begins to eat away at my skin.
      Energy distribution in your body is a key aspect in advanced combat techniques. You can divert energy that is intended to defend your body into your attacks and vice versa.
      Removing too much defensive energy leaves you without any defense.
      But it's not like I have any need for that anymore.

      "I admire your will, but you do not have the technique to beat me."

      Yes. He can just deflect my attacks.
      I open my dragon eyes, which is of course a rather self-destructing thing to do, given that my body is flooded with divine energy, which will immediately attack the dragon eyes
      which are of demonic nature. I don't care.
      I understand the confused look on the templars face, as the dragon eyes do not work on them.
      But they are not intended for him.
      I look for my own reflection in his eyes, and attempt to stare directly into my own dragon eyes.
      This is something you are never supposed to do.
      There is a high risk of getting lost forever.

      I do it to look into my past.
      Into the exact moment I fought that templar in the fires of hell.
      I was but a young teenager back then. I can see it clearly now.
      I walk towards the templar whilst looking at my memories at the same time.

      "Back then, I had only a minute to kill the master swordman."
      "And now you have a minute to do the same with me."
      "I will show you exactly how I defeated him."

      I begin to mimic the movements of the templar I fought against years ago.
      Our swords spray sparks every time they touch. At this point it looks more like a dance than a sword fight.
      He quickly realizes that he no longer has the upper hand. We are on equal terms now, and I have nothing to loose.
      He changes to a more defensive style, attempting to simply outlast the minute that was given to me.
      Fortunately, I require so much focus that I am completely incapable to think about what is going to happen next.
      Sure enough, just before the minute runs out, I perform a combination of moves that creates an opening.
      I take it without hesitation and lodge my katana firmly into his chest.

      The burning sensation and the pressure emitted by the templar stops immediately.
      He is visibly confused. He does not understand the mistake he made, and neither do I.
      This style of combat is way too advanced for me. I merely copied what I saw.
      But still, even with my sword lodged in his chest he smiles.

      "It doesn't matter. I still won."

      I have nothing witty to reply. He is right. His goal was that I die, and he achieved that, after all death has come for me.
      I have lost. I release the energy stored within the katana and the templar bursts up in purple flames, leaving nothing behind.
      I suppose this should provide some sort of relief. At least the templars are gone.
      But I feel no such thing. All I feel is failure.



      Death approaches me, carrying his scythe on his shoulder.
      This is the end.
    5. 23rd July 2013 Long dream, Mission, Weird school, Underground Complex, Tanks, Battle

      by , 07-23-2013 at 11:37 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      I was a dragon but i was hiding in human form because i was doing investigation of some stuff happening. The traces were leading to school that looked like school from my past. I was exploring it, going along with the crowd, it was full of weird technology stuff and many people were wearing some weird costumes. I checked some of it and it raised enough suspicion and i needed to switch to stop hiding in this form, but there were some materials that i haven't gotten, rendering form change impossible, i almost got caught while searching if there are any nearby by any chance but managed to still stay hidden. I decided to explore it more.
      While talking to someone i found way into the underground part, there was large facility, complex of corridors and rooms, very mazey. I was going through rooms with various mechanisms and then through some kind of laboratory. Then i reached some hanger that housed some huge futuristic tanks. I went out of underground, back to school part and started getting more info and talking with some people. I found out that someone was hiding some huge tentacle thing in underground area. Then i went back to underground area and found that tanks were relocated to some submarine, i was going around the complex trying to use mechanisms to sabotage the progress.
      I was talking to somebody and some people apparently found out why i was here, so i had to retreat outside. Massive battle started between tanks and four huge creatures, one of which was a dragon and another was a gryphon, tanks were destroyed and i was talking with dragon and others, during the talk gryphon got affected by some force and went crazy, but i had to continue figuring out stuff about that facility, so i went back.
      I went back to the complex and at one point it kinda turned into 2D video game where i had to do some platforming over spikes and activate path for some slimey creatures. Then i found another place, which turned it into FPS game about zombies, the section was fully underwater and i had to reach some organic place and fight tentacle boss that was causing zombification apparently. Then i went back and outside, there was some place with crashed helicopter and it was now apparently STALKER-like game where i had to fight group of bandits using a pistol, i got low on hp but i had medkit that i used to recover and then finished enemies off. It caused some flying tentacle squid things to appear which fired something like telekinetic blasts, i dodged the blasts and managed to take those enemies out as well.
      Suddenly those futuristic tanks from earlier arrive, only to get destroyed with some blue flying mechas, which apparently were yet another new side in the conflict. We decide to form alliance with commander of the place(Weren't we were just fighting?... ) and went back to complex. We were trying to think up some new ideas for tanks.

      Dream 1(fragment):

      There was something about dragons and possibly i was talking to one.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was playing some Serious Sam-style game, the map looked kinda like green plains withg normal and lava rivers. There were various weapons and i had to fight through some place full of cargo containers later. Then there was multiplayer mode that supported bots, but they were pretty bad and were mostly repeating some phrases instead of shooting and also were getting stuck in terrain somehow.

      Dream 3(fragments):

      I was watching videos of various RTS games, there was one that looked like Starcraft 2 graphically but gameplay-wise it was different, maybe custom map. At one point player was just commanding small group of very powerful floating mechas and had to fight some powerful enemies and bosses.

      by , 07-13-2013 at 11:17 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1(fragment):

      I was playing some platformer game.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was playing some game and was discussing it with someone, there were various missions and at one point i was visiting some japanese-style place. Then i got a spaceship and game became like AI War visually, i was navigating the space on it around and it was Zenith Champion Frigate ship. There were some Dyson Spheres making Dyson Gatlings, some were friendly, some not. I was helping allied fleet to defend versus the non-friendly ones and almost lost the ship in one of battles, it was on like 1% hp, there was also some other enemy fleet. Later i ended up landing on various planets and exploring them, searching for something, i had some kind of advanced powers.

      Dream 3:

      I was at home, talking with some family members, the room was entirely different. Later i was eating, visiting some forum and playing some video game, also i had some kind of abilities that i occasionally used. Later i was checking out balcony and there was abnormal amount of lightning in the clouds, the moment i leave the balcony lightning strikes a pipe on balcony, which surprises me a bit.
    8. 12th July 2013 Space battle, Short lucid, Massage

      by , 07-12-2013 at 12:10 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's nap.

      Dream 1(fragments):

      I was playing some video game and there was something about conflict between some races in space, then i was controlling a miniature version of superfortress from AI War and guarding some huge space structure, very quick enemies were spawning from a wormhole and periodically shooting i could move fort to dodge their projectiles and it autoattacked them with it's homing flame wave.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I wake up in chair i feel the dream and i hear somebody coming from behind. DC starts doing some kind of relaxing massage and it's nice, then i ask DC something about transformation(still bad at recalling talk) but he ignores me. Shortly DC finishes and goes away through balcony door. I try to get up from the chair but gravity is almost non-existent and it's hard to move and dream fades out.
      I wake up in old chair that almost falls over. Caught by surprise i balance it and completely forget to RC. I look around and position of things including some old couch is messed up. I think that i have done that while sliding on chair while sleeping. I move objects around quite easily, trying to remember, then looking around i get 'wait a second' feeling but before i get lucid i wake up.
    9. 9th July 2013 Military video games

      by , 07-09-2013 at 10:32 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1:

      I was in some militaristic video game, at first WW2 themed but later a bit more modern/futuristic. There was story about some countries that were not on war for a good while, but then one decided to start attacking the city. I apparently just arrived to that city which was getting invaded by enemies and had to retreat from a whole horde of them, allies were holding them off but only long enough for me to ask some people and figure out best way to retreat. I was going through a few cobble streets then into some alley, then arriving into some fence maze. I had to find way through and dodge some enemy squads and an helicopter, getting hit some times and losing HP, in the end i had only 19 left. Eventually allied chinook arrived, i got in and we took off. Then we had to fight enemy chinook and that other helicopter that was attacking me whole time, but soon we managed to fly out of city and end the mission.

      Dream 2:

      I was in some rich home place and i had multiple brothers and sisters, one of which was some kind of a prince. We were talking about some stuff then i went searching something in internet and there was some gaming site with red-dark visual theme, full of elitists. I thought that i should take a vacation on some island or something.
      Then i went to play some RTS video game with one of brothers. It started with two cities, mine's and his, and we had to mine resources and advance through tech tree. We had forcefields that acted like ones from AI War and lost of various buildings, and we were pretty near each other. I was scouting the map also with some units, also the units were created part by part, with some choices in chassis, armor, weapons and such. I started slowly attacking with a few tanks, draining his forcefields, but then suddenly he started spamming his tanks and doing massive attack, almost breaking my main forcefield and destroying bunch of stuff. At the last second i made special unit as my 'hero' unit, which used resources each shot and his shots could 'eat' enemy shots which turned into resources, and also it was very powerful, and with lots of enemies making shots it turned them into enough resources to cover the requirement per shot. It would have been good but i misclicked and turned my hero unit into some weird brown creature that spawned on the other side on the map. Enemy was out of resources tho, as he stopped making tanks, so i was fine.


      Dream 3(fragments):

      I was playing some FPS where i with some group had to hunt down some people from some gaming company that was really bad. We were traveling around some roads.

      Dream 4(fragments):

      There was some anime, group of people were exploring forest and there was some group of enemies. They started the fight but then enemies were blasted with blue blast from out of sight.
    10. 8th July 2013 FPS and platformer video games, robot, huge boss

      by , 07-08-2013 at 11:34 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1:

      I was in some FPS, that looked VR grid-stylish. I was fighting through enemy territory and had some abilities that were very effective versus enemies. I got through some areas and stairs till i reached some place where people were contained, like a prison of some kind, it had alot of colors. I was talking to some then was going through a few more areas there was another dude and we talked about programming. I was apparently a robot of some kind and that the group from before were actually with enemies. So i went back, broke into their place through wall and started killing everyone, then there was malfunction and self-destruction mechanism got activated with explosion destroying the whole place.
      I respawned and the game was more like 2D platformer/shooter now in fantasy setting but with futuristic weapons, there were a few jumping segments in level i was going through and i was destroying some enemies in search for a key, then after key was found i opened the passage to the boss. Boss appeared to be huge thing on a ceiling which attacked with some multi-colored semi-homing energy projectiles, and as i was downing his hp bar he did summoned ghost versions three smaller bosses that i recognized as previous bosses of same game. There were also spikes on the sides of the room and a few platforms. I had to reload game from last save a few times but i had a tactic to deal with the boss. I memorized pattern and was dodging around, then eventually i won.


      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was playing some 2D platformer game where i was controlling two cartoon characters. The level structure was horizontal and there were some puzzles, overall it was indoors with wooden theme for the most part and there were many pits leading into abyss. One of characters got stuck between walls at one point due to glitch in a puzzle but i was able to switch characters around and avoid falling into abyss.

      Dream 3:

      I was playing some Stalker-looking game, but it had some features from AI War as well, such as Fabricators, and they were surrounded by anomalies. Also there were player classes, including class called 'Anomaly', which was very overpowered because it didn't had some limits other classes did. I was discussing it with SilentEternity and we were talking about classes as well as how useful fabricators are. In game i haven't progressed much, mostly was checking fabricators and talking with a few NPCs.
    11. 7-5-2013 fought an ogre

      by , 07-05-2013 at 10:32 PM (Subjects' Dream Journal)
      Legend: Dream , Semi-Lucid , Lucid.

      The ogre:
      In this dream, i'm in some forest place with someone who i assume is my partner. we're currently walking through a tribe of humans and ogres, but i get a feeling that the ogres will soon turn against the humans and that we should get away as soon as possible. Well, i was right. And as we exit, we draw the attention of one ogre by accident and he starts to chase us. We run into what looks like an urban building still in construction.

      As we go in, we realize we have just trapped ourselves in here, so we act quickly and me and my partner pick up a big metal pipe and thrust it through the ogres stomach as he walks into the building. After that, we use the time that gave us to look for weapons, i find a knife. The ogre walks in and we fight, i get knocked around a decent bit and get a bad cut on my leg, it hurts. As the ogre swings at me again, me and my partner block the attack and start continuously stabbing it, it soon dies.

      After it dies, i realize i've probably been seriously wounded, i wake up with the feeling of my left leg being cut but the sensation soon faded.


      House fight:
      All i remember in this one, is that i'm outside at night and these people are attacking me. All the punches and chops i use are all ineffective because for some reason, it's hard to put any force behind my attacks since it's a dream. Either way, i throw a hammer fist and for some reason, i was able to put a lot of force behind that, i then defeated my enemies with it.

    12. 1st July 2013 Long dream, Video game mix

      by , 07-02-2013 at 12:35 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Pretty long and cool dream and good recall.

      I was in some video game on some mission, i was with some group assaulting enemy base and searching for something, then it was like an RTS and i was commanding some forces, some of which looked like something from megaman series, then we were at some power plant place and we used some technology to fly into the sky(possibly jetpacks).
      There was some passage built in the sky that lead us to the train station. We were using trains to travel around on rails right in the sky, the structure of place was weird and i figured that the game is full of references to various stuff, on the way we met cartoonish woodpecker and wolf that were fighting eachother all over the place, setting traps and stuff. We were having a bit of problems with switching rails and dead ends, but eventually after getting back and forth we got to some old temple entrance, in the sky.
      We were going through the passage and there were a few switches and traps, i disarmed one trap that was some kind of idol connected by the rope to the ceiling that fell when triggered.
      Shortly we reached the other side, which was kinda futuristic metallic area, like space station or base, with alot of different paths, we were exploring and fighting enemies, we reached the rooftops area and we were on the top of some palace apparently, there was pretty cool view over the nearby area. But we had to go back and then through temple again, i accidentally triggered that trap with falling idol, which almost hit one of the team, then we were back to the train station and on the train we went to another place.
      It was some kind of a dark fantasy town, game turned RPG-stylish and SilentEternity joined instead of the team that was with me before. We went exploring some locations in the town and then some graveyard while he was explaining some of game mechanics to me, including something related to inventory. We got some quest and we went to the canyon, we were on the top and there were some turrets, enemies were running through the bottom so it was like some kind of tower defense game.
      Done with that we returned to the town, that's where story of the game catched up. There was something about reviving ancient dragons of various colors to fight them. One was revived after the mission but we could not fight him because we were not ready. We talked with him and started the fight anyways, but we had to retreat. Shortly dragon flied away to somewhere else and we were attacked by more enemies, i died and i noticed class change window, i selected some other class.
      Now i was some insect-like thing, somewhat like mantis, but a bit larger than human, and i actually felt different, it was awesome, i went to inventory screen but then noticed lack of stuff that i had, SilentEternity mentioned something about that different classes don't share same inventory. We continued fighting enemies and our next goal was to find some gem items around the town. I noticed that my attack stat was lower than with the previous class and i could use some kind of modules to change stats around, SilentEternity said that it's better to have balanced stats than highest attack anyways so i switched stuff around till it was balanced. I also could use some kind of magic attacks.
      After finishing with gems we went to another mission. It was happening in even darker place, it was very open area with few chunks of ground floating in few places and some dome-like structure in the middle. it was pretty difficult, alot of enemies were spawning around, there were some humanoids with long arms, some with weapons and also some ranged enemies that looked like liches. After alot of kiting and running around trying to take them all out, i managed to die again, though this time SilentEternity casted revival spell in time so i was back in the fight. We had to target enemy spellcasters because they were the only enemies not respawning and they were guarding the items that we needed. Soon SilentEternity was too low on HP, we had to retreat but too many enemies followed, we had some glorious dialogue and then i found some option of HP transfer and gave some of it to SilentEternity, we fought rest of the enemies and defeated them.
      Then i was randomly back at the level select and was trying to unlock hidden level behind the wall, i got through the edge of the screen incorrectly and due to glitch my leg was stuck in the wall on the other screen......... it felt very very very weird then dream ended.
    13. 29th June 2013 More AI War stuff

      by , 06-29-2013 at 11:34 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1(fragment):

      I was in some kind of city and then catacombs, searching for something.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was playing AI War and talking with SilentEternity, there were some bonus ships that were really overpowered and i was capturing some systems, there were a few battles, we were talking about those new ships and nukes and at some points i was switching to some other game that looked like some kind of platformer. Also a fly was distracting me.
    14. 22nd June 2013 XCOM - Impossible mode?

      by , 06-22-2013 at 09:11 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1(fragments):

      I was playing AI War with SilentEternity and was controlling an H/K mk5, we had some problems capping some planet.

      Dream 2(fragment):

      I was near some kind of factory.

      Dream 3:

      I was playing old XCOM: UFO Defense and just did standard setup of everything, then shortly intercepted UFO and started the battlescape mission. It was happening in some village/city area that didn't looked like any of original tilesets, it was medium scout and there were not many enemies, but their AI was really good and they actually decently positioned their units behind objects and such. My units had pretty high stats for starting units, except for accuracy, and i managed to screw up one of my best XCOM soldiers by not looking at time units when scouting. Also interface had a few elements from XCOM: TTS. On alien turn he got shot twice and killed, i decided to reload save and try again, this time he got shot only once and survived with 2 HP and 2 critical wounds, which means i have only one turn. He has ridiculous amount of time units though so i make him pick up plasma pistol from enemy, which he could use somehow, and go on a killing spree. Shortly there's only one enemy left which looks like space suit version of calcinite from XCOM: TFTD, i use last of time units to auto shot at him from plasma pistol, but before killing him, XCOM accuracy demonstrates itself like usual by friendly firing at another trooper which was near that calcinite and which detected that in first place. I win the mission, curious about score, but for some reason i only get -10 points for losing XCOM troopers and nothing else. After a while landed UFO gets detected, time for another mission! But no, aliens figure out what's going on and there's huge screenshake, then earth just goes poof. Game over!
    15. 15th June 2013 Video games, Dark City, AI War, Virtual Reality, Hacker, Abandoned Place

      by , 06-16-2013 at 12:15 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1(fragments):

      There was something about video games and there was one AI War like game, then there was some story about control and some kind of monk person that was lacking power, then later i was in some metallic place and there was something about medics.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was in some dark city, there were metallic walkways around buildings and i was with a group of people, we had some kind of power and we were fighting some mutants while searching for something.

      Dream 3:

      I was playing AI War with SilentEternity, the map was mazey and squarey, starting position was on the bottom of it, one AI homeworld was roughly in the middle, accessible only from the left, and another in the upper right. The map interface looked weird since it had those weird blue grid quite differently from normal. We had a good army and soon most of the map was controlled by us, also we were using five frigate champion ships.
      Some planets were quite different, in a way that zooming in started completely different game that was FPS in some 'virtual reality' style setting with grid textures and such and it was occasionally turning into an 2D platformer too. We were doing some of those missions and there were also 3D jumping puzzles. AI Core worlds near homeworld had some missions too, the objective was to blow up some sort of generator.
      Soon we have unlocked most of the stuff and there were only a few AI Planet clusters left, champions were still frigate level and there was only one nebula on the map, though SilentEternity told me that thjey are unlocked in order of completion, we decided that we will be fine with just frigates though. We triggered last mission and it was some arena with the mechanism in the middle that we had to defend. We were successful and soon the path opened.
      Then i started having problems with PC, there was some code not working properly, then some hacker looking guy came and started trying to help, but was really bad at it. I told him to go away and fixed everything myself. He flied away.
      I continued the game with SilentEternity and after path there was some high building we climbed, on the top, some weird dude waited for us, he said that he's the author of the game and then credits rolled. At the end hacker dude flying threw some metallic disk and destroyed some enemies that were trying to attack us, also disk somehow cut dad's beard in the process and also killed a few birds on the way back, hacker dude was surprised with that throw and i laughed.


      Dream 4:

      I was in some weird, abandoned building and some female AI-like voice was talking to me about that i was in game and i had find something to get out. There were some ghosty entities occasionally moving around. I was following some instructions and soon reached some ventilation shaft, it was too tiny to get through but i managed it. View switched to third person on the top and some dude in black suit appeared, ran towards me and said that he's friendly, then dream ended.
