Nomad Chronicles

[Baron Samedi]

EDIT: For some reason, I thought Spike's name was Nick in this dream. 20.09.2009 Most Epic Dream Chain (WILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID As I fell asleep, I looked at the images behind my eyelids. I saw a great golden snake. There were giant jungle trees, the size of redwoods behind it. The snake was probably about a hundred feet high. I saw Selene, Raven and Nick standing in front of it, ready to do battle. They looked like ants compared to it. I was flying down toward them. How could we battle this? I began to wake back up. The dream faded. I went back to sleep. I was with the three of them, gawking at the size of this great snake. There were two strange shapes on both sides of the snake. They were the rears of a lion's claws. We were about to do battle with a gryphon's tail. The gryphon spun around. It was huge, about 300 feet tall. It had the head of a lion and an eagle. the lion's head roared and tried to eat us. We ran away. The eagle's head screeched, and it was so loud it made our heads vibrate. I felt disoriented. We ran into as much forest cover as we could. The gryphon spread its wings, and took off. It was flying above us. The dream faded. I don't remember what happened next, but I lost lucidity. missing time I was an involved conversation with a friend, M, about business standing near a white wooden fence with a cornfield on the other side of it. Raven Knight, Selene and Nick rode past on horses. The gryphon was chasing them. "What the hell are you doing?" Raven yelled at me, "Come here and help us, dumb ass!" "Holy shit!" I told my friend. "This is from my last dream!" I started running to catch up with the other three. I turned into Pan to run faster. My friend said, "Maybe I can help!" He turned into Hanuman, the monkey god. He was blue and white. Hanuman grew in size til he was huge himself. He leapt up, and grabbed the gryphon around its neck, and it fell to the ground. I grew in size as Pan, and grabbed the gryphon around its neck with my arms. Hanuman sreeched and jumped up and down on the gryphon's back. I turned into a minotaur, and wrestled the grypon to the ground. I held it in a chokehold, until it gave up. I turned us into giant dragonfly people, and formed a square around the gryphon. He didn't want to fight back. Hanuman laughed and threw dirt at the gryphon. The gryphon shrunk down to a man. It was Morpheus. "Good battle!" he said. missing time The next thing I can remember Selene and I were standing next to each other near a cornfield. Selene pointed at the sky and made it night. I opened the sky like a shutter and made it day. M., Raven and Nick watched us. Selene and I battled each other to make it day and night. Everyone started laughing. missing time We were going down a river, the four of us, in a boat. There were attackers in the trees. We were all wearing white robes. Raven shot fire bolts at the enemies in the trees to the left. I shot white arrows into the trees to the right. Selene threw dozens of shuriken into the trees, like a casino dealer passing out cards. Every one hit its target. Selene jumped off of the boat on to the shore, then up into the trees. She leapt from tree to tree, slicing our attackers with her daggers. I heard Raven singing. The music was so powerful and overwhelming. She was casting fear upon our enemies. I saw Nick on the trees on the left, slicing up enemies with a white sword. The river ended in a waterfall. The four of us were in the boat again. I told everyone not to worry. I turned us into dragonfly people, and we flew out of the boat before it went over the waterfall. We flew to a cliff near another waterfall with no enemies around. We looked up at the night sky. Selene made the moon rise. I stared into the sky and made more stars appear. Then, Nick and Raven started doing it too. We filled the sky with stars, and drew constellations with our eyes. The four of us just sat there on the cliff in the Amazon jungle staring at the night sky for a long time. I saw the Kamapua'a constellation in the sky, the Great Boar, my ancestor-god. He came to life. I was in a large field somewhere with him. He was about the size of a skyscraper. I hugged him, and said, "Oh father." missing time. I think I may have woke up and went back to sleep. I focused on the moon. Selene was standing next to me. She said she was happy to see me. She looked up at me and smiled, "I'm happy that I you know who I am, you love me, and you remember me." She started making out with me, and I was suprised at how real her mouth felt. I felt her body press against mine. I held for for a second in silence. I opened my eyes and saw Raven Knight. She was waiting for our little moment to be over. Then, Nick materialized next to her. He had been invisible, but she didn't know. She seemed a little startled. He agressively grabbed and they started making out. Selene and I giggled. "Where do you want to go?," asked Raven. "Another medieval adventure?" I offered. "No," said Raven, "something different." "How about an undersea adventure?" asked Selene. Raven smiled at her and opened a portal. The four of us stepped through. We were in a giant undersea cave. It was large enough to fit an aircraft carrier in it. The walls were lined with luminescent stuff growing, that was waving back and forth in the current. It looked like octopus eggs. A giant shark with glowing green eyes smashed into the opening of the cave, but it was too big to fit inside. I turned into Neptune, and spun at the shark, drilling into its nose. "Outsiders!" someone shouted, "you lead the great shark here!" The other people looked like humans made of glowing jellyfish flesh. I turned us into merpeople. I turned around and looked at the cave people. I was holding a trident, and wearing a coral crown. I had a big white beard. I looked like an old guy that can kick your ass. "We did not intend to lure the shark here. For that, I apologize. We wish to communicate with your people," I said. "Atlanteans!" they gasped. "Atlanteans! Tell the king!" One said, "Follow us." Two swam in front, two behind, and two on each side. They were suspicious of us, but were guarding us from attack. We continued on until the cave opened up to a great dark room. There was a giant squid pale, glowing faintly blue-green in the darkness. I felt a dark ancient intelligence, and and strength beyond centuries. "Are you Morpheus?" I asked dumbly. The squid king laughed. He told us there were three different species of sentient sea people living in the undersea caves. I don't remember what happened next. I think I may have woke up. I focused on the moon. I was back on the moon with Selene. She told me, "I am so happy you remember me now. You know who I am, you know why I did what I did. I just wanted to be with you so desperately." I told her I understood, and that I still loved her after all these lives. We kissed and it felt so real. I felt her body press against mine. I saw Raven stand a ways off kind of whistling to herself. Then Nick appeared next her. He had been standing near her, invisible. She ws a little startled. He grabbed her and kissed her. Selene and I giggled. Then, Selene and Nick both started talking at the same time, but I could understand them both. I couldn't make out who said what. They were talking to us telepathically. They said that they had been brother and sister in past lives, and so had Raven and I. They said the pairs of us were often siblings or friends. They said that Nick and Raven had often been lovers, and so had Selene and I. We lied down on the moon with our heads pointed toward each other. We held hands, so our arms formed a square. Nick was across from me, and Raven was on one side, and Selene on the other. We closed our eyes, and levitated off of the moon. There was no up or down. We were in outer space, beings of pure energy. I rolled over and embraced Selene intimately. I then rolled back. I hugged Raven, but it was like were were standing up, and it felt like being hugged by my girl cousin, who is like an older sister. I went back. Nick and I vibrated the crowns of our heads toward each other, and moved right through the other person. "Wow!" Raven said, "Let's see what else we can do!" Music started coming out of her, and a dance floor appeared. I started laughing at see a dance floor in space. I jumped on it and began dancing. I decided to try some breakdancing moves that I can't do in waking life. I could do them all as long I as I could picture myself doing them! "Ok, now your turn!" I pointed at Raven. The music changed to funky disco, and suddenly Raven was wearing pink bellbottoms, a silk blouse, and a vest. She was wearing an afro wig, and giant sunglasses. She started dancing disco. The rest of us laughed and clapped. missing time The four of us were meditating in a square again. We combined our intelligence and were all talking and listening at the same time. I couldn't tell the difference between anyone voice, including my own. It was like we were pieceing together a great puzzle with different bits of information. We were together. We are all real. We have been together in different ways for many lifetimes and we will be for many more. I felt the pain of ignorance, and forgetfulness, and the exultation and pain of rememberance and awareness, as a lemniscate of light moved through my head. I was standing in space, and I saw all my lives looping back on each other. I wanted to know if we could ever evolve and acheive enlightenment to lessen suffering. I saw the four of us like ghosts in a pyramid formation, floating up and away from earth. There were other groups like us, all around. We have to find each other. We have to find the other people who share lucid dreams. There are many like us. We can find the others. We are seeking them as they are seeking us. I felt a deep peace. I stopped caring if other people think I'm crazy. missing time I was in outer space, alone. Zaphor, the red dragon-man, my dream guide was talking to me, floating in a cloud. "Everything is a dream. Your waking life is a dream. You have power over your waking life. Make lots of money, and it will give you power as lucidity does. You are suffering, and you will suffer more. You are no longer phobic of paperwork. All your fears will be conquered here. This is going to take time. You must be patient with yourself and never quit. That is the most important thing. Quitters never ever win. Just as you have broken free from your own limitations and the limitations others have placed on you in the dream world, you must break free first from the limitations you place on yourself in your waking life. Then, your mind will be free, and power will begin flowing to you. Money will give you power over your own life, and freedom from the limitations others place on you. You are suffering, and you will suffer more. I will be here in your dreams to guide you. You have friends in the dream world that you now know are real. You have fought gods. The gods are not dream characters created by your mind. They are real spirits. All view the gods differently. You see them as gods of the Hawaiians and Greeks. You have spirit guides to aid you in waking life. You know who they are, and you will meet more. You are suffering, and you will suffer more. Write down your night dreams. Hold on to your day dreams. Use the present to change the future. Alter your reality for a better life." Then, he was no longer a dragon-man, but a great red dragon in the sky. He blew fire on me, and I screamed as I was engulfed in flames. I felt no pain. "It's burning away, it's all burning away." I heard a voice as my dream body burned away. There was only my energy left. I felt pure. missing time I was back on the moon talking with Raven Knight. "Let's keep dreaming! This is so fun!" "Well," she laughed, "do you know how long this dream is? We've been dreaming for about an hour. If you don't wake up and write it down, you are going to forget some of it." "No, no, I won't! I promise!" "Well," she laughed again, "I have to wake up anyway. Bye!" She waved goodbye, and disappeared. I woke up, and went back to sleep, but I can't remember anything after this.
