Four dreams but again... I forgot the first one. I think the second one influenced all the rest of them. I woke up after every dream [even did a RC] but each time I forgot to write down what I dreamed! I can remember to wake up after every dream whenever I wish but never to go from part A to part B of a plan...
#1- Forgotten
#2- Tending to the Gardens
I'm in a Labyrinth with my friend L-chan. We both are carrying watering cans and possibly a few weapons. A thick fog prevents us from seeing the sky [somehow all my 'normal' labyrinth dreams include a sky no matter how far below the ground they are] though I can tell you it's cloudy out, the fog has a lavender-gray tinge to it that I typically see on cloudy days. The stone floor is anything but simple, a variety of colors arranged in mainly circular patterns grace it's surface. It's a flurry of lively tints and shades from the most soothing blue found before dusk to vibrant chili and curry powder reds, all of which are laced into the ground through paints [they reminded me of rich watercolors].
I continue to walk around, I think I was in some sort of simple kimono or heavy dress for I know I wasn't in pants. I reach the Southeast corner of the floor and recognize the sun on the stone to be a teleportation device to the next floor. I wait for L-chan after signaling my location to find a patch of shrubs and berries I missed. I water them and start to wonder how slate columns that attach only to the ground hold up this labyrinth. Then I begin to wonder why I water the plants if the fog can permeate a dew for the stomates to absorb, and since there's fog and sky, there has to be a weather system here... I was starting to get too logical for my own good... I woke up from it.
#3- Dictator Grandma
I'm in an old Gothic cathedral, a wonderful one with all the stained glass windows, intricate candle stands, and ashen pews. The only colors in the building were the windows, Crucified Christ, the ivory candles with their delicate flames, and the people in the cathedral. Of all people to intrude it had to be my step-grandma.
Oh help me now. It's amazing that she even went into our church, typically we go to her over zealous Baptist Church [over zealous because they just sing and clap and I can't understand a word the pastor says even when I try to listen... at least at my dad's Baptist church I can understand his pastors... though they call themselves Non-denominational and still have the nerve to call the other denominations non-christians... even us Catholics... man do I hate religious intolerance as much as I do ignorance... they kind of go hand in hand]. Well, back to the dream. So she was there and mass went over fine.
What didn't go over nearly as smoothly was me being forced to sit outside the cathedral, eat yucky ice cream, and be there with her. She kept on persisting and I kept on saying, "I can't, I already have plans. L-chan's coming over this Saturday, I can't do that." To her plans. L-chan's like family to me, she isn't really... she's more like a person I have to respect out of manners, though in this dream I'd had it. She kept interfering with everyone else's lives just to suit her fancy, not considering how many different ways it would affect her children, grandchildren, step-child, etc. [In the dream I still pictured L-chan stuck in the labyrinth for some reason] So yeah... I woke up out of that one still thinking that she wanted us to do stuff with her Saturday until I realized that L-chan and I still have yet to determine the next time who kidnaps who.
Probably mental frustrations being released in the form of a venting dream.
#4- The City Labyrinth
Another labyrinth. This one underneath a skyscraper filled with homes both on the floors above and below. No sky in this one. Just coarse concrete walls, cold smooth concrete floors, frigid iron staircases and elevators, and well as some very strange add ins. The labyrinth was 70 floors deep, as far as I knew.
In this dream, I was neither dead or alive. I was a limbo-ed soul. I could take on my physical form, but that took energy. I could 'nest' in a person's body, they'd have full control and I'd regain or preserve energy, the only thing was is that I saw the world from either their eyes or 3rd POV. I could also possess people [found that out on accident]. So all that, plus a few accidentally discovered abilities, all of which were really just dream control as I became more suspicious of my dream.
There were two guys. One with short brown hair and a baby face, the other a tough guy face with regent-styled orange hair. [For convenience's sake, person #1 is going to be called Choco, person #2, Ran] They were both running around the place, Choco was the leader and lived on labyrinth floor 1, Ran lived on either 10 or 20. I was nesting in Choco who I guided down... well advised them to slide down the stairs which turned into a slide... until they got to the 63rd floor.
Now, not only people reside in this labyrinth. There are monsters, but they have yet to plague us. There are chimeras too. And there are ghosts too. I suppose that's the limbo I was supposed to be stuck in but I wasn't 'limbo-enough' for there. I regain physical form and these hot shots want to check out the extremely well-lit mini-hallway. I mark on a window nearby with my finger 'Ghosts' with black ink [that spurt out of my finger... O.O].
In the hallway we pass many ghosts chilling out in hot springs. The chief was there too. They didn't bug us and I just greeted them, knowing nothing more than their statuses. They adventured the mildly similar version of a carnival. With all the carnival games and... well, that' really it. They join a race game where someone put $20,000,000 in the jackpot. All they have to do is catch two kids, kick two balls, and one of them has to be first to run up the pathway to the cliff to win. Choco does it all and wins. We celebrate a bit before going to the 'weakest ghost' of the room [the whole place was in one room though and it was warehouse sized the the whole floor 63rd floor and all other 69 floors were the size of a warehouse so it was logically impossible].
The ghost was a girl with thick black hair rolled into a braid that touched her lower back clad in a dark purple dress. She seemed to know of me as she nodded at me. I, unsure, nod back. We take her from the room and head to an elevator [hidden behind a directory guide on every corner of every floor and each floor had the weirdest labels...]. I look below to see a room on the 64th floor labeled "Children" [on the directory that would be labeled "special" instead].
We take her to the lobby where a grumpy man directs his mother to keep working on the laundry. The ghost accidentally bumps into her as we bump into the guy and ends up possessing her. The guys go off to try the same game they won $20,000,000 in again in the lobby. They lose and receive a grim remark from me [I think I said something about, well I least I don't need to eat]. We go back to the mother to find the ghost out.
"She has no pulse." The ghost looked lively now that she'd had fresh air but I know she wouldn't had killed the mom. I wondered if she was dead or in a pseudo state. We take her back to the room on the 63rd floor [I had to re-write ghosts again on the window... it had vanished] and slide down to the 70th to enter a room you're expect in a tower. In fact, there even was a tower-like window in there that showed a cloudy sky.
They wander around the room looking for games to play while I stare at a painting. It was a large one of a hawk-girl with purple lynx ears, messenger bag, purple tube top, pocket shorts, and purple wings. I stared at her eyes for a good deal of time, they were golden suns with piercing ebony slits for pupils.
"What part do you wanna look at?" A girl with lynx ears asked.
"The right" I said when she gave me the options, left, middle, right.
"Upper half" when she asked which half.
She asked me a question related to an Era and gave me two options, one started with a Kre, the other, a Tueo. I chose the former and she gave me a dark purple and black rabbit plush as a reward for being the first person to answer any of her questions right. When I looked back at the painting, the lines from her questions were still there, one slicing it in the middle horizontally, and one cutting out a third of it on the right side [vertical cut].
We leave and I walk ahead of them to the 65th floor. I read a sign that says "Digimon wanted who can 'drain' or evolve for an experiment." I noticed two people talking about it, a redhead 13 year old and a tall blond guy in his mid 20s wearing sunglasses. I was trying to figure out so hard what they wanted from reading the sign that I accidentally summoned up a Digimon who transformed into a another entirely unrelated with alabaster lizard skin before it's flesh began to 'flame off' and reveal an evolved version of it attacking the elevator/directory. Choco came to my rescue and took m back to the lobby via attacked elevator where Ran was. I think the two guys had planned it all because later on, many more things began to plague us.
We went back to the room in the 63rd floor. The ghost chief said the the ghost we were with earlier wasn't feeling to well so don't to bother her. So the guys went off to play games while I thought of a game to play to win back some money for them. I played one game once and won $1,000,000 in one try. The owner was shocked and others thought I cheated though I know I didn't.
"What happened to your $20,000,000 million? Lose it all?" Another man sneered.
"Why yes, I guess we have to go back to being mercenaries," I smirk back. He goes pale and I laugh. I was thinking about my "Tending the Gardens" dream when I said that for in there I sensed that I could easily make more than a million without even putting in as much effort as I did in the game I won the money in.
I head off to Choco and take a break from my physical form [we didn't spot the mother so she probably passed on]. Ran was playing a game and won nothing. So he stole a parsnip and ham sandwich. They ran for it and split up.
"I'm going to get your mom," Choco said.
"I'll go see if my brother wants this," Ran said. So I switched bodies so I could meet... well see, his brother.
Ran went to the 64th floor's "Children" room. Three kids were in there. One reminded me vaguely of Fahynite or a bit of Choco. Another was a orange haired girl. The third and the youngest was a 10 year old who had black hair and was indeed Ran's brother. I became so focused as Ran offered him the sandwich that I accidentally possessed him.
"Nah, it's okay bro, why don't you give it to mom."
"Where do I live again," I semi-joked trying to get Ran back in control.
"It's either the 10th or 20th floor," he responded as the leader began to get irked.
He totally blew a gasket. A memory of how he had bullied Ran popped into my head [and Ran's about 18, this boy here, 14 so yeah... odd]. Ran regained control and I could see the fear in his eyes as he backed away and left. He wasn't angry at me though. He really didn't know which floor he and his mom lived together on either. On the 20th floor, he saw a book. It looked odd. It was about a snake and it's prey. On the 19th floor. A monochromatic version of that book was there. It was a sequel with a Komodo and it's prey.
I liked the cover and urged him to look at it. I remembered reading it one time [in that dream life]. The lizard came to life and stunned Ran. He didn't know about that. The lizard gave him some advice as he [lizard] opened the book he was bound to and spat at the pages. He hated being the antagonist. He threw a realistic wooden monitor lizard at him. It was really a dagger. He touched it's point and withdrew a bloody finger before taking it with a minute "thanks."
Back at the 1st floor Choco and Ran's mom waited. When we got there he gave her the sandwich. She looked like a buff monster fighter. And of course, either because of the mom or the fiasco on the 65th floor, monsters came. The mom could unlock the locked paths for us but the monsters could too.
We fought our way down 9 floors until on the tenth floor my match had come. Chimera I called them for they were not monsters but they were no longer human either. They looked like people, but they had lynx ears and abilities like mine. Mine had been acquired naturally and mysteriously. Their's were from being experiments of possibly the blond haired guy on the 65th floor. One guy and one girl were there. The guy had long neon blue hair with matching lynx ears. The girl had short forest green hair with matching ears and a hawk's gaze. [FYI, these guys weren't like the ones on the 70th floor, like me, though not so human nor not so dead, they had naturally acquired their stuff too, they might have been animal and other earthen spirits]
We try to fight them. The Chimeras wouldn't so much as fight me as they would test me, like it was all for their master to determine if I should be taken with them and experimented on too. Thank goodness they had to report it in front of their face without and not by using walkie-talkies or video cameras attached to 'em.
"You and Ran go to the 63rd floor, we'll head to the 70th" Choco ordered. We took an elevator and entered the room. They didn't care that we stole anything from them, I guess what we were doing had benefits to them too. We went to the ghost girl and she was there, looking better than ever... And I awaken, never to know the fate of the dream or who was my pursuer.
I blame my thoughts of "You know, after all this shopping today I'm probably not going to dream about any of it, I mean he spent about $70... oh no... mom's going to throw a cow..." made a really interesting dream that enforced 70 into it. That and when I was a wee child I was into Digimon, it was the second big TV turn in my life. [the first one was discovering that there was more on TV than the discovery channel and PBS]
Yeah, I've seen Pan's Labyrinth. I saw it on the same day I started reading LaBerge's book! Though... the movie didn't really influence my dream then but could have an influence some on that one and definitely on last night's dreams... [Though labyrinth dreams were pretty common for me when I was in middle school...] I really liked the movie though, maybe because it's the first Spanish movie I've only had to use the subtitles on for reference or when the words wouldn't click. I'm so glad I haven't forgotten my Spanish from the school year.
