    1. 06/11/11 The Lost Dream Files

      by , 06-14-2011 at 09:19 PM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      Hmmm... it seems my most recent dream journal post was lost when Dreamviews was down last night... it's a good thing I keep my own copies!

      Battle at Fort Wagner
      I am in a forested place, I look around and see that there appears to be a military operation going on there. The terrain is a forest similar to the picture shown here, which is of a typical South Carolina forest, so it seems I am already in the proper position to complete a LPTC task and have some fun doing it. Well, I'm not entirely familiar with how the battle between the 54th regiment and Fort Wagner took place, but hopefully I can create an interesting dream version.

      Ok, well first to play some games with confederate soldiers. I find some soldiers in the forest, they seem to be preparing for an attack, most of them are black people… the 54th regiment. I leave them to their preparations and I head towards Fort Wagner, following a map that I have in my mind. I find Fort Wagner standing tall, confederate soldiers manning the defenses… cannons, gun turrets… but it is dark out right now. I change into a small bird and fly right up to and over the outer walls of the fort. I spot a confederate soldier on guard duty in a spot that is fairly isolated, and he looks bored… maybe he would like to play a game.

      I have been reading the book It by Stephen King, so the idea of reading his mind to find out what he is most scared of came to mind. His mind is occupied by sex, killing Union soldiers, sex, his belief that black people, like filthy sewer rats, carry disease and he would be infected if he touched one, sex, and he is considering going off to a private spot to jack off because he is horny. Excellent. My inspiration for this game comes straight from It. I land behind one of the tents closest to the outer wall and transform back to my normal form, dressed in sexy lingerie. I peek out from behind the tent and catch his eye. He can hardly believe what he sees. I beckon him over with sexy gestures. I can see that he instantly has a hard-on… which he follows without question.

      The man comes around the corner and now he sees me naked, I look at him, he has a clear hard-on, I tell him he had better let that out before it just explodes. He starts fumbling with his pants. The tent beside us is empty, so I crawl through an opening in the side, beckoning the man to follow, how about I start him off with a blowjob? When he gets into the tent, however, the naked woman is gone. All he finds is an old black guy, or really more of a zombie.

      I have transformed into a black zombie, with pieces of flesh rotting off of me and a foul odor of decay coming off of me in waves. He tries to scramble backwards from me, repeating "What the fuck?!" Who am I? Name's Bob… didn't he want his blowjob? Old Bob will give you a blowjob. Bob will do it any time for just a dime, 15 cents for overtime! He says to stay away from him, calling me a foul disgusting rotten nigger, he's trying to leave the tent. I grab hold of his leg, the rot on my hand is spreading onto his leg, just as his fear said it would. There is a wet spot on his pants. I laugh at that, asking if he's going to shit himself next. He is trying to call out for help, he can't seem to find his voice. Rot and decay are consuming his body, he tries to kick me with his free foot. His foot is too rotted and it falls off. Now he finally manages to scream, I'm not sure if it is fear or pain, but it is loud. The foul odor of shit is coming off of him… he shit his pants! I tell him he is full of shit, then crawl over him to leave the tent through the hole I entered through. This makes his body completely decay. Outside, other soldiers have gathered. They are staring at the zombie in front of them. Some of them shoot… others stand dumb… Keeping with my theme, I grow giant bat wings and fly up into the sky before turning around and opening up with Vegeta's Final Flash, a blast of energy that leaves the fort as a smoking crater. The soldiers of the 54th regiment have responded to that explosion, and are emerging from the trees to see the smoking crater. I leave a flag in the center of the crater proclaiming the Union victory before disappearing and waking up.



      Hogwarts Martial Arts Tournament
      MoSh and I are at Hogwarts for the final round of the martial arts portion of the Tri-School Wizard Tournament. The first thing I find out is that I have been disqualified from the final round due to inappropriate conduct in an earlier round, apparently having something to do with a fight I don't remember between Nomad and me where things got a bit out of hand… something about ripping Nomad apart… MoSh, however, still has his final round going up against another guy from one of the other schools, I don't recognize the other guy from the books. I am figuring MoSh might be interested in seeing some details of this, so I watch the match and try to remember as many details as I can. The other guy is named Matthew. One point worth noting is that both of them strictly used martial arts moves rather than magic or powers, perhaps it was meant to keep the match more even?

      MoSh starts with an outside leg kick. He then blocks Matthew's kick and answers with a straight right punch. Matthew tries to get off a high kick to MoSh's head, but MoSh easily blocks that. This leaves Matthew off balance and wide open for MoSh's next attack, which knocks Matthew flat on his ass. Matthew tries to sweep MoSh's legs and misses, MoSh throws a kick at Matthew, who rolls out of the way and to his feet. MoSh meets Matthew as he is getting back to his feet with a combo involving an uppercut followed immediately with a kick. Matthew catches MoSh's leg but can't do anything with it. MoSh does an interesting looking jump and somehow manages to kick the guy in the head with his other foot, knocking Matthew to the ground. Matthew stands up quickly, but eats a knee, a big flying knee to the face from MoSh, and he drops down again. Matthew rolls clear of MoSh and stands, trying to unleash a combo from the side. Epic fail. Only one of his punches lands before MoSh unloads with rapid punches and one final hard punch that sends Matthew out of the ring. MoSh wins.
    2. 02/10/11 LPTC Task, Assassin's Creed

      by , 02-14-2011 at 01:54 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      Plans: No specific plans, try to contact MoSh's guides again, do some items from my list of goals... I won't be able to post for a few days, though, since I'll be camping.

      Sky Beam
      I am in a mountainous area, I am climbing on some rocks. I am surprising myself with how easily I am able to climb the rocks without once feeling afraid that I might fall. I get to the top of a rock and I look off into the distance, where I see a strange beam coming from the sky. It seems a lot like the light beam I am used to seeing in Stormreach in DDO, so I do a RC and I find out I'm dreaming. I look around for a bit more, this clearly isn't Stormreach, so there must be some other explanation for the beam. I then remember the latest primary task for the LPTC, which is to stop a laser drill coming from a space ship in orbit. The beam isn't too far off, so I fly towards it and I get there quickly.

      I look at the energy beam from the sky, it has a sizable tunnel drilled into the ground already, but I don't know how far down they've gotten. The beam is just energy in the form of a laser... so I fly out over the hole they are drilling, which is about 20 yards across, I fly directly into the path of the beam while activating a spell. I use the song spell Whiplash by Metallica to reflect the laser beam back into space. The reflected beam follows it's own path back into space, and shortly later I see an explosion in the sky as the orbiting space ship is destroyed by it's own laser drill. That seemed pretty simple, too bad I'll have to wait until after the camping trip to post this dream!

      Obstacle Course
      I am somewhere I don't recognize, I am there with MoSh and a couple of other men, who don't seem too pleased with my being there. I wonder if they don't like me or if I did something to annoy them or if they are just always like that. MoSh is talking to them about finding a girlfriend... maybe one with a few less obstacles to them being together. One of them says obstacles are merely tests to be overcome. I ask what exactly they expect MoSh to do when the person in question has such a serious case of depression that she won't help herself, I add that I can relate to the depression and I know it is hard enough to be helped by someone there in person let alone by someone on the other side of the planet. Which brings me to the geographical issue, which they have done twice now, because helping her or getting her help might be possible if she was closer... and I mean a lot closer... Then there's the issue of being engaged to be married, which they have done twice now. And now a possibly insurmountable religious issue? So how about a nice local single woman... where if she does get depressed, MoSh can directly help with a hug and an attentive ear. The way they've been going, I wonder if they are looking for as many obstacles as possible to be between MoSh and the woman. I am getting glared at again, one of them says if I know so much, why don't I find someone? I say if my powers worked on this plane I would help MoSh find someone... Damn these powers that only work in dreams...

      Assassin's Creed: Slave Trader
      I am at home, doing nothing particularly exciting, and I decide it would be awesome if I was dreaming... Maybe I should do some journaling. I am thinking of dreaming, so I do a RC and I discover I'm dreaming right now! So I say goodbye to my DC mom and I go outside to fly. I fly into the air and open a portal in front of me with no particular destination. I let Avalon guide the portal. I fly through it and find that instead of flying over a desert I am now flying over a lush tropical forest. So many colorful birds are flying around, I also find images in my mind of what I need to do there. It looks like I've been playing too much DDO, because the information comes to me as a list of DDO quest objectives. 1. Locate the slave trading hideout. 2. Stay hidden until the leader arrives. 3. Kill the leader first. 3. Kill the rest of them. 4. Free the slaves. Ok, well since I don't want to be spotted too soon... they will certainly kill the slaves and the leader won't come... I transform into one of the colorful birds.

      I fly over the forest, surveying the are until I finally find the camp. A lot of people are locked in cages on wagons, packed in like sardines. The slave traders are talking to each other mostly, a couple of them are tormenting the prisoners, poking at them with spears. One of the others says if the ones tormenting the prisoners kill a slave it's coming out of their cut of the money. After a couple more pokes they stop. I perch in a tree among other birds of my kind, waiting for the leader. The birds around me leave to the other side of the clearing. I follow, but they avoid me. They can tell I'm not one of them. The leader soon arrives on a horse, leading other horses. He is exchanging money for the slaves. I turn back to myself, with a crossbow, I shoot the leader through the neck. He falls over and chokes to death on his own blood. The others are surprised at the attack. They see me as I jump down from the tree and use my Witchblade sword to kill them all. The prisoners don't seem to know what to think of me, so I cut through the locks on the cages and tell them they are free to go, but make sure the horses are looked after... they're not wild horses, so they need shelter, food, any other care. One of the prisoners says the horses will be cared for, those slave traders had been working them too hard and not feeding them enough. The prisoners lead the horses down a trail into the trees, thanking me as they go, only a couple of injured people are riding horses. Someone is bitching about walking, others tell him to shut up, the horses are overworked, too. Everyone who is able will walk. One of the prisoners is saying she would like to give me a reward... but I wake up before she can offer me anything.

      False Awakening
      I wake up in my own bed and I realize I have to use the bathroom quite badly, so I carefully get out of bed so I don't disturb the cat I'm sleeping with and leave the room into the main part of the house. I notice it is very quiet in the house, so after I do my business, I go to see if my mom isn't there for some reason. I find she is, indeed, not there. Her car isn't in the carport. I wonder where she has gone, she hadn't said anything about going out. I still have to use the facilities even though I just did. So I use the bathroom again and then go back to bed with my kitty, never once do I suspect I was dreaming. The dream seemed so real that when I wake up I think my mom must have really gone out during the morning, though she says she has not and she isn't dressed to go out... she is in her "hanging around the house" clothes. Damn... if only I could remember to RC every time I wake up!
    3. 02/09/11 Kisses and DDO

      by , 02-14-2011 at 01:33 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      Plans: Nothing big... MoSh wants to try to talk to the idiots who call themselves his guides, I would like to punch them in the face. The usual list of goals is also part of the plan.

      Are You Retarded?
      I am in MoSh's inner world, out in front of his house. I don't immediately remember why I am there, so I figure the best thing to start with is to find MoSh. I go to his house, and I am greeted at the door by Asuka. She says MoSh isn't here right now. I wonder where I can find MoSh, so I ask Asuka that. She says he isn't dreaming yet, but he should be soon. I go into the house and wait for a bit, Asuka seems to be in a good mood, she is humming a song to herself. I wait for a bit and soon MoSh comes down from upstairs. He seems to know what I'm there for better than I do, so I just listen to him. He says he wants to find out some things from his guides. I follow MoSh for a bit and we meet up with a man, I see another man in the area, they are his guides? He asks what he's supposed to do about Saim. How should he proceed? I ask if they are the ones playing matchmaker between MoSh and these other women. One of them says yes, but... I interrupt, I am annoyed at the fucked up job they've been doing on that topic... I ask them if they're deliberately playing dirty jokes on MoSh or are they both just retarded? The man closest to me gives me a dirty look and asks if I can do better. I mutter that a blind monkey could do better... A website like Cupid.com or something like that would do better... they could at least find single women that aren't on the opposite side of the planet! They don't seem pleased with me, and I figure I could've handled that better...

      The Kiss
      Note: This fills the requirements for the basic task of the month for DreamViews, which is to kiss a DC.

      I am out in a forest of some kind, wandering along a narrow path through the trees. The birds are singing, there is a gentle breeze blowing... The breeze is slightly chilly, but then someone there with me puts his arm around me. I look beside me and I see Bakura is there with me.

      We continue walking through the forest, neither of us is saying anything, but neither of us really has to say anything. I enjoy just being out there with him. The trees slowly thin out until Bakura and I are walking more on a rocky path than a forest trail. We reach a rock overhang where I can look out over the valley below, the view is magnificent.

      Bakura and I sit there on the edge, my right arm around him and his left arm around me... It's really very nice. Who needs a waking life boyfriend when I can meet up with guys like this in dreams? I turn to look at him at the same time he turns to look at me, and we kiss... a warm and loving kiss with absolutely no pressure for it to be anything more than a kiss... and the fact it does turn out to be much more than a kiss is exactly what I want. ^_~

      Journey to the Center of the Earth
      I am at the entrance to an average looking cave. There is nothing out of the ordinary about it, though I have the idea my destination is somewhere in that cave. This is a DDO quest, and I have to go in there and check out what the orcs have been doing down there. I also have an active quest to investigate some disappearances from some surrounding towns. These disappearances seem unrelated to each other, but I have a feeling they are all related to this quest in the cave.

      Once I am into the cave I find it is really more of mine, this has been dug out rather than formed naturally. I follow the paths deeper and find those who created the mine are still working it. The passages are crawling with orcs. I have to kill a couple of orcs as I explore the mines. I find that while each level of the mine is quite small, it seems to go down forever. I wonder how long it has taken these orcs to dig this deep. On my way down, four kobolds carrying a container of shiny rocks hurry past me, paying absolutely no attention to me at all. Odd... I kill more orcs, then a human passes me, saying if I am caught standing around they will all be punished. He hurries on. I kill another orc, a kobold sees this and throws himself at my feet, blubbering. I tell him to speak clearly, he says the orcs are working their slaves to death in the mines, there are humans and kobolds, all of them just want to be free. Two orcs come, one grabs the kobold, the other says to put him in the cage as a warning to the others, any talk of freedom means death.

      The orc tells me to get back to work or share the kobold's fate. The kobold is begging for mercy, the orcs laugh... right up to the point where I kill them with my Witchblade sword. The kobold is at my feet again, thanking me, I say I need to find the slaves. He leads me deeper into the mines... more orcs die by my blade... we come to the bottom level of the mine where a bunch of bedraggled humans and kobolds are digging in the mines. There is a central chamber where I find out what the orc meant by "the cage" when he threatened the kobold. There are small cages hanging over a deep pit, most of them have dead bodies in them in various stages of decomposition... a couple of them also have live slaves in there with the decomposing corpses... yuck! Those slaves look very weak and sick, no doubt deprived of food and water. There are many orcs... it's killing time! The orcs are taken by surprise as I attack, some go down without a fight, I kill all of them. I free the slaves, heal the live ones in the cages, and teleport all of us to the surface. I am thinking I have a lot if rewards to claim, but it was here that I woke up. For some reason I always wake up before I can claim my rewards! Damn it!
    4. 01/14/11 Halo 3 - Warthog Run

      by , 01-15-2011 at 08:36 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      Plans: This is the last night for Halo task for full credit on the Lucidity Power Trials Club, and it is my aim to do it with Dakota. Other than that, I will focus on just remembering something. I remembered a dream last night, I want to do it more! More!

      I am in a place I don't recognize, and I am not lucid at the time. I look around to see where I am, and I see that it is winter, the ground is covered in snow, and I am a bit chilly. I think I'm doing quite well to be out in that weather and only be slightly chilly, but that might not last. I wish I had a jacket of some kind, and I am surprised when one seems to appear from nowhere. I put it on and look around more, I have absolutely no memory of how I came to be here, or even of where here is. I decide to do a nose-pinch RC, and I discover that I am dreaming.

      I look around the place a bit more now that I am aware I am dreaming. I am in a cold and snowy place at the base of a mountain, there are paths or roads of some kind leading up the mountain, so I head for one of those roads. While I am walking in that direction I am thinking about my goals, about what it is that I want to accomplish in dreams this night. I remember the Halo Warthog mission, so I will try for that. I walk along the base of the mountain looking for a possible place for the Halo mission to start. I see a tunnel leading into the mountain that looks like a place for the mission to start, so I head in that direction. I am thinking another part of the goal is to look for Dakotahnok to see if we can confirm a shared dream. So I am also looking for him as I head to the cave entrance.

      As soon as I get to the cave I see there is a man in there, he looks like he is waiting for something. I wonder if it could be Dakotahnok… then I realize I have no idea what Dakotahnok looks like! I approach the man and observe his appearance, he has short dark hair, is relatively tall with an average build, but then my attention gets drawn to his shirt… his t-shirt has Dakotahnok's spider avatar on it! He sees me and asks if I am Raven Knight, so I say yes, I ask if he is Dakotahnok… he doesn't answer me, but he looks very happy with the situation and says, "We did it! We did it!" He is very excited at the prospect, I think it is awesome that we made it work. Now if both of us can just remember this…

      Dakotahnok and I aren't together for long, however, before we head in our own separate ways, as both of us are looking to complete the Halo task for the LPTC and this can't be done in a shared dream due to some people not accepting shared dreams at all, and for the ones that do, it would seem unfair to do a task as a team when everyone else has to do it individually. I tell Dakotahnok to make sure and remember the dream. He comments that I'm the one that has been having recall problems lately, touché… we go our separate ways.

      I go into the cave, which cuts through an area of the mountain. It looks like the cave was carved through the rock by an intelligent race rather than a natural passage, it also winds around inside the mountain. There seem to be passages heading off to the side of the main passage, but I don't feel there was a need to explore them. There are strange mutant bug like things attacking me, I take a shotgun like weapon from my side and blast them, the blast takes out large groups of them at once.

      I exit from the passage and find there is a vehicle parked on the other side, there is a voice speaking from somewhere… wtf? It is a female voice, it says to get in the Warthog and go, go, go! Wow… it's like I just stepped into the video game… I jump into the Warthog, and someone else gets in the back… I'm not sure who… or what… he is, he clearly isn't human, but it is just as obvious that he is on my side, so as he takes control of the mounted turret on the back of the Warthog, I floor it and head for the path leading up the side of the mountain.

      As we are going up the mountain, the path winds around the outside of the mountain, but there are numerous wide places in it where there are structures off to the side. Mutant freaks are coming out of the structures and attacking us, they are swarming all around us, the guy in the back of the Warthog is blasting away at them, taking them down in waves. Some of them are in front of us, the Warthog is able to drive right over them, squish, squish, squish… I drive the Warthog farther up the mountain, it feels like the mountain must be a volcano about to erupt… the whole thing is shaking violently, large boulders are falling from above and crashing down towards the ground. I am driving the Warthog to the left and right to avoid the falling debris… An area of the path collapsed from in front of us, I am barely able to make the Warthog jump over the crevice to the other side… and I see the mountain is definitely a volcano, as there is lava flowing down through the crevice below. Things continue in this manner until we are near the top, where I see there is a space craft hovering a short distance off the mountain. The voice I heard earlier is saying to go for it, jump into the ship, before the entire place blows. I floor the Warthog and make the jump into the waiting landing bay of the ship.

      It is briefly dark in the landing bay before the interior lights come on, revealing that the Warthog has wrecked at the far end, the big guy from the back has been thrown off to the other side of the landing bay, and I am on my ass near a pile of cargo crates. I go to check on the big guy, and I find he appears to be alive, just unconscious. Well, that's good. I figure the dream task is over, so I am ready to wake up… when there is an attack!

      One of those mutant freaks is attacking, throwing off those strange bug things, it is really quite gross. It looks like one of the enemies off of the Silent Hill games. I remember I have to use Halo weapons, so I don't activate my Witchblade, instead look around and spot a plasma sword that the big guy seems to have dropped when the Warthog wrecked.

      That is a pretty cool weapon, though, it cuts through and toasts the bug things on contact. I fight against the creature, climbing up on some of the cargo crates to get away from its attacks, then I jump down from the crates and attack the thing from above, slicing it nearly in half from top to bottom. The thing was UGLY! I'm not sure what it is… just that it is dead. More of the bug things crawl out of it, so I kill those, and once that is done I wake up.
