I'm writing this one in story form. In the dream i am the character Jinnyah, but i'm writing in 3rd person. I'm going to start keeping track of all my dreams as Jinnyah, there were already a few and i'm going to recall them.

There was a large evil Ifrit on one of the fisherman’s boats. The inhabitants of the fishing docks were in a panic, other fisherman were cowering in their own boats. A Jinniyah flew down to the boat, a small green fairy following her. A great battle ensued between the Jinn. The Ifrit’s large eyes were burning blue fire, his skin green and tough. The boat was being quickly destroyed by the fight as the Ifrit’s massive knuckles bust through the ropes and wood. Finally, the Jinniyah drew out a fiery sword and cut off the head of the Ifrit. It rolled into the sea and the body dissolved into smoke. The Jinniyah did not wait to hear any thanks, but the entire fishing quarters cheered loudly. It was all just fun for her. The Jinniyah flew away, laughing loudly with her fairy, and they grasped hands out of joy. She named her fairy Titi, the Jinniyah herself did not have a name, or did not remember it.

Immediately after the fight, Jinniyah decided to have a little more fun. There were fancy people from the north that started settling in their country, making inns and various other shops. There was one of these inns just below Jinniyah and Titi, owned by a pompous man and woman who cover themselves in big ugly jewels and puffy clothing. Jinniyah pointed to the building and Titi nodded. They flew down and just before Jinniyah entered, her deep purple silk pants and her embroidered top turned into the biggest, bell-like gold dress. Her black braid turned into golden curls piled high on top of her head. Everything she wore was golden and studded in jewels. Jinniyah walked into the inn like a queen. In the corner of the inn was a pleasant fire and a big cushion seat in front of it. On the other side of the room there was a table where the bird-like woman was hunching over an object with a few gentlemen. Jinniyah caught their eye, and their expressions made her laugh. Suspicion was in the eye of the gentleman who owned the inn, the woman’s eyes had hate and envy.

Jinniyah bounced into the inn, light as a feather. The owner was following her, watching every move she made. She sensed that he knew she wasn’t human. The bird-like woman continued to hunch over the contraption on the table, talking to an old man.

“you see” he whispered to her, “you put these in here, touch this handle, and voila! Sapphires come out!”

A bunch of tiny blue stones spilled onto the table. Jinniyah thought she’d have a bit more fun. She flew towards the old man, put her hand under the table and out came emeralds, diamonds, rubies, and every other kind of gem. The woman and the old man were so excited they didn’t even notice Jinniyah. Jinniyah laughed and flew up the stairs, the owner running behind her. She flew to the very top of the building to the attic and the man slammed the door behind her.

“I know what you are!” he yelled, “And I won’t let you go!”

This made Jinniyah laugh even more. No door could keep her locked in. She flew over the man’s head, bust down the door with an explosion of red smoke and flew right out of the building where Titi was waiting.

There was a little boy right outside the door of the inn with a little box of kittens. The boy held one up to the Jinni with wide eyes and Jinniyah took it.

“I will name you Huma!” she declared, and flew away with Titi.

if you are reading this, keep in mind the colors mean nothing. All dreams are lucid with me. This dream i had long ago.

The world was young and shapeshifters ruled the forests. I was tall, as all of the shapeshifters, but i was young and knew nothing. I believe i had bull horns. Standing next to me was my teacher and my lover. He knew everything about magic and had the patience to teach me. I was very quiet, never spoke. A war was going on between the newly arrived Humans and the shapeshifters of the forests. He seemed worried about me, because i could not shape-shift. He held me and left to go to the war. I stayed in the forest. In the forest there was a large canyon that sat randomly in the middle. The Humans made it into the forest, the shape-shifters were losing. I stood at the edge of the canyon and watched the fighting across. My lover turned into a large wolf and was fighting a man at the edge of the canyon cliff. The man struck him and he fell off the edge. I jumped and turned into a huge eagle, i only grew and grew more until i felt like the size of the entire earth. I landed at the bottom of the canyon as my normal form. There was a little island in the river/lake at the bottom. I stood on this island and looked around for my lover. He was next to me. He held me by my shoulders and told me that he was going to go to the war and to stay right at that very spot until he came back. I nodded and cried but he left. I built a little house on that island and waited. Hundreds of years passed and the river/lake dried up. I was old. I heard a knock on the door. I opened and there stood an old man. I realized it was my lover and i hugged him and wept.

i woke up.
