Thread: Mr_Jinsue's Enigmas

Over the passed few days my dreams have been blurred and lacking substance. I have noticed sightings of the Cullen family (Twilight) because I have just read the first two books. Interestingly no vampires or supernatural, just the characters, especially Alice who is my favourite.

Simple Spy Style
Dream began by entering my new boss's office. It was richly laid out with books covering all the walls of the high ceiling room and possibly even candle lit desk. In the center of the room was a huge square gap in the floor through which I could see a research laboratory on the next floor. There were four desks each with a different kind of stone clamped down.
The elderly, yet obviously quite powerful, boss of mine said that they were researching ways to tap power out of the elemental stones. My new job for him would be to help with this ongoing research since I was an expert in the field. I got the feeling I would be looking through most of the numerous books on his shelves.
This was all rather secretive as by working for this man I knew I was swapping sides and working for the enemy agency. I was essentially a spy.

The next day I was on a yacht with people I was being introduced to. It was all fairly casual, there were some kids there and the wife of a man I knew from this new job. The man (who wasn't there) had strikingly blond hair and really loved his wife.
After the brief boat trip I ended up in a warehouse with the blond guy's wife and had discovered that she was working for the enemy agency (where I had turned away from). Obviously I had to kill her and did so on the secluded and dimly lit warehouse floor. No one was around and no one knew it was me.

Dream shift to my wife's perspective. She/I was in a fruit shop and was becoming very excited over a bizarrely shaped fruit/vegetable. It looked like two small pumpkins or large zucchinis merged together like two tear drops. In the middle of the join was a smiley face, ever so cute, and I bought it on the spot purely because it was so unique.

Dream shift back to my secret agent/husband body. I had arrived home to our newly bought house (like we had just moved to the area). It was very large and I began exploring it since this was my first time being inside. It had a lot of wood paneling and just screamed secret doors/rooms. As I walked around, I called out to my wife to ask her if I was making any more money than usual. She responded that I indeed was and rattled off three payments of money, each with a description; the first was turning up to work on time, the second for keep the kids safe and the thirdly saving a boat. Obviously my wife knew nothing about what I was doing for work and so the shifting payments were (not so) cunningly disguised as bonuses.
I ended up in my RL bedroom and threw my tie off onto a chair before going back into the house. The huge house was almost perfectly symmetrical including stairs at one end that began at both walls of the living room and curled up passed the corner to meet in the middle of the room and enter into the second floor. It was like a large Mr & Mrs Smith style house.

Next day I was back on the yacht, this time with my wife, blond guy from work, his daughter and another female friend. Wife talking to the daughter and said when she was growing up she got a tattoo on her 'little lip, well little lips', which she indicated as her nipples under her loose one piece dress. Upon hearing this I imagined small butterfly tattoos but was not at all put out by her rather sudden comment.
The female friend suggest she show the daughter. Everyone was a bit hesitant at first but we two males moved off momentarily for some privacy.
While chatter continued I was dropping in a lot of hidden meaning that I directed towards Mr. Blond about his wife and her working for the enemy. He seemed resigned and unhappy about her death because apparently he knew nothing before she died about her work, but he obviously didn't know I killed her because he didn't blame me for anything.

Later that night back at our house I went outside with my wife to see the police had turned up. They wanted to get into our basement for evidence, primarily against us. They entered from the street through a metal grill/gate but wife and I went back inside to the duel stair case. In the floor just at the base of the stairs was an outline of a rectangle and I pushed it down to create a continuation of the stairs down into the basement.
Somewhere here I took on my wife's perspective again. The basement was all dusty, dark and loaded with cobwebs. The police were at the far wall crowding around rows and rows of old school video tap. They were all movies and cartoons that we had recorded off the TV at some stage. "Now we've got proof" was declared from the leading officer as we were under suspicion of being serial killers (Dexter themed). My husband replied, "Have fun watching cartoons and movies back at the station" to some of the lower ranked officers.
Leaving the seemingly foolish police to it, hubby and I walked back to the staircase but on the way I noticed a grate in the floor off to the side of the floor between two large, obscured objects on the room; kind of like being in an old engine room on a boat.
The grate top was engraved, green, sewer access looking and rather out of place in the dusty, unused room. Upon expressing my question to my husband he looked at it naturally and replied simply, "Irish house" with a chuckle and I this made perfect sense to me so we continued back into the house.

Was pouring orange juice from a large bottle into a smaller rounded, glass jar sort of container. I was there with the Cullens (Twilight) and I remember that the whole scene was an echo of the movie's kitchen scene where the vampires prepare food for Bella. I had to make the choice between straight orange juice and that pine orange juice; I ended up going with the latter. Not for taste I remember but to cancel out something else that was bugging me, like a smell or sound.
I don't like orange juice or pine orange juice like that anyway so I might have been trying to choose the lesser of two evils. I might also have been a vampire myself and so my sense of judgment on food could have been a tad off.
-Saw the twilight movie that last night (wasn't as good as the books )

After waking up and falling asleep again I had this dream.

Rating - 2/5
Falling to Darkness
A new terrorist/criminal organization had gained control over numerous nuclear/high explosive missiles. They could satellite guide them to any location in the world and essentially had the whole of earth at ransom.
Not soon after this report came in was America hit for massive casualties and was crippled so much it was pretty much wiped straight out of any defensive strategies that were in the works.
Then here in Australia our PM was addressing the nation live from near my house. I went down to where the whole set was going on. It was a big, grassy field, heavily overcast with little drops of rain falling every now and then. The PM was at one end of the field near a tree line.
He was quite scared (as were other nations) that we would be next and continued to explain in detail and without sugar coating the facts as to how easily we could be destroyed. At some point in the speech he mentioned the satellite navigation placement of the missiles and I saw from a GoogleMaps style vision a red box over Australia which zoomed in, over and over again until the display was the top of the PM's head.
My vision changed back and everyone seemed to look up in dismay. The PM was moved back under the trees/out of sight and this seemed to divert any attack.
Soon after the speech ended and I went back home. My family was there and no one wanted to do anything, a lull had befallen the nation and we all lived in fear. Then the ground shook and the power snapped out. Looking outside, everything appeared normal except power had failed; on sunset too the world began to become dark. At the house next door I could here people singing happy birthday and thought of the idiocy of those people. How they didn't seem to know that their country had been attacked and also the irony in singing about how happy a day it was.
With the power out, the internet had also fallen (we had some other sort of way to access the internet without using direct electricity) and that was the clincher. No global communication, no electricity; the world descended further and further into anarchy as the hours passed.

Just before going to bed I was restructuring my goal dream (what I really want to do when lucid next) and I decided to try to include Alice Cullen in it. Upon deciding this I stopped to think what I would actually ask her if I did meet her in a dream. I figured I would ask mundane things and see what her responses were; I decided upon 'what is your favorite color?' and 'what languages can you speak?'.

Then in my dream I met Alice (yatta!) and asked her what her favorite color was. Her response I can't fully remember, however I know it wasn't an actual color. She said something starting with B and ended in a number. All I can think of is Bavarian-113 although I know that's not quite what she said.
After a short time more in the dream with Alice I woke up into an FA where I got quite excited that I could remember what Alice had said and wrote it down in my DJ. Then I woke up again later and realized the horrible truth, I couldn't remember .
I did get to bring out my subconscious Alice however and she is every bit as pretty in my head as I hoped, so all is not lost .

School Crazed
I was at my old primary school with everyone from my year there except older and as I know them now. In the front playground it was all very casual; people wore board shorts and the atmosphere was fun. People were mucking around with foam pool noodles (no water around there though) and similar foam balls that looked quite fun to throw around.
Someone got close to losing one of these balls over the fence and one of the teachers who I guess was supervising us told the guys messing around to move away from the fence, everyone crowded around and started throwing all the equipment over onto the street.
Then we all ran around and picked it up off the highway intersection. Traffic was getting angry with us but everyone was out of control; running around on the busy road and screaming our heads off. Someone else appeared on the road who was dressed like an American footballer and P ran around behind him. At a full sprint it looked like P was going to tackle him but at the last moment he booted a basketball as hard as he could across the road and into the fence we had started over. At the massive kick and hyper-pumped up situation everyone was cheering and going even more insane through the now completely halted traffic.
Another group of guys had gotten a football now and were running in formation, passing it along at super fast speeds over cars.

Then the teacher must have seen just how out-of-control everyone had gotten and called out for everyone to stop; we would now do a starring competition. At this news all the students calmed down and piled onto pedestrian islands all around the cars. Everyone immediately paired off with someone to star down. I was standing on the far side of the intersection and started off with R whom normally I wouldn't be happy about but here seemed quite happy to star at her.
After beating R everyone that was still in the competition paired off again, this time I went against C. While starring her off too I heard a voice call my name from behind me. I turned to see E sitting with some other of her friends on the ground.
"Yo?" I called as I turned, "Hi" responded E since we hadn't/haven't seen each other in a long time. "Oh hey!" I was rather pleased to see her.

And that is all I can recall. The adrenaline and frantic frenzy of crazy activity on the highway was really intense and I smile every time I see P kick that ball in my head; just as he would do in RL.

Martial Arts with the Major

Was at P's house with him and his family. The house is not like it is in RL but much larger and very high up from the ground. We were in the top room, a good 4-5 stories up in a forest; who's trees rose way further up than we were.
As time had gotten on, my mum dropped by and I drove the two of us to the shops to grab something for dinner. We ended up buying lots of Chinese food. For just the two of us we have about 5 large bags of different dishes.
With the packages still warm in my hands and smelling quite tasty we started to leave. On the way out, P's dad said hello and commented that what we had looked pretty good. I gave him the cold shoulder jokingly telling him he wouldn't be getting any from us, and with that we left and the dream changed.

I was with a group of people (adult) by the pool. All nice and casual; people slowly drifted off and we eventually had myself, two other guys and Major Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell - watched recently). It seemed we had planned on stay around together as the Major was going to teach me how to fight in a particular martial arts style.
Mainly I learned the stance which was: open bodied, shifting the weight from left to right lightly side-to-side, arms up for standard kickboxing punches. When I tried to put my leg forward to punch she told me I was doing it wrong. I needed to take a small step and then bring up my other leg low and deep to put more power into the enemy. Every now and then the Major would say punch or kick and I would have to shadow fight the moves out. My kicks were fine as she didn't say anything about them; they were knee-high blade kicks which looked more badass than in RL.
Once I had the basics down, which didn't take long, the Major left and us three guys started talking. One of them used to practice the style a while ago but didn't use it anymore. The other guy was a seasoned fighter having done it for years. He seemed to respect the Major considerably since she was the best according to him. He also spoke to us about the philosophy behind the style and what it aims for in the strokes and movements.
___________
I can still remember the moves and the fluid rolling stance is quite natural. I'm quite impressed with my subconscious for teaching me the basics of a martial arts style - Anyone know of a style that is similar to what I described?

Was at some alley bookstore buying books. I knew the people who worked/owned the shop. Once was called Love and the other people had all emotion names. I had come down the alley from another shop.

I started out as a secret agent for a large corporation. I was driving through a parking lot when something (can't remember now) hit me as strange, causing instant dream recognition. I got out of my car and wanted to look for a license plate of a guy I saw earlier in the dream. My lucidity was weak but I struggled to look at my hands and take more control. I changed my plans and walked up to the nearest parked car. Punching straight through the driver's window I planned on trying to steal the car (even though I already had one handy).
Somewhere around here I lost my weak lucidity.
It was night time now and just down from where I stopped my car earlier was a group of business people talking. It was a wide alley but poorly lit with a dying yellowed bulb on one wall. P and R came into the crowd and began climbing the furthest wall. I knew they were working to help people escape from this large building (my old primary school building). Normally anyone on the ground would have spotted them climbing up but it seemed only I saw them. They had with them a black rope and a baseball. They secured their rope somehow to the ball and P threw the ball, baseball style, really hard and over the higher up roof. The first throw must have failed and they tried the throw again, rope trailing along behind the ball.
I knew this one would make it so I ran around the building and found the baseball on the other side; no rope. It was very dark here and as I picked the ball up, a woman came around behind me and demanded I give her the 'porcelain ball'. I claimed I had no idea what she was on about, although she obviously wanted whatever was in my hand. In the darkness I rolled it up the slop we were on and walked over to the light with her. Smugly claiming ignorance I pushed passed the woman and walked away from the whole event.
I remember going somewhere else and the woman kept following me, thinking I still had the baseball with me.
The rope the guys had set up appeared to be successful in helping people escape from the facility fast enough not to get caught.

Vampire's Know How To Use Alarm Clocks?

Vague Matrix style dream. I was a Neo/main character and the crew of our ship had just completed a new chair/jack-in system to test out.
Being the hero I was, I volunteered to test it but another big guy said he would go first. The chair was like a dream projection machine for the mind. I had suggested when I was to go I would go in with an explosive strapped to myself as a final suicide/escape method and so the big guy did too. Once activated the spot where the chair had been turned into a 1.5m wide circle of pure, flat, midnight black in the floor of the ship. Kneeling down I could call to the guy inside it and hear him calling back, but it was like he was a very long distance away down a hole. The dream shifted before anyone else went in or came out.

In the vampires huge mansion's front hallway there were stairs at one end and the floor was recessed enough to fall into and get trapped in a floor maze. It was obviously built for vampire movement and not with human limitations in mind so I moved around the higher, floor level blocks of marble via teleportation (how else?). I traversed the room in short 'blinking' teleports; one ledge at a time, while the male (I was female at this point) vampire with me was doing something else. He caught up to me with easy vampire speed and we both went out a large glass window to a road.
Around here we must have role swapped and I became the male/myself and the female/my sister became the vampire. Walking down the road we came across the train station's little eating area. On one wall was a couple of vending machines and I asked jokingly, "Are they cheaper than Lidcombe?" Which is where my sister goes to university. On closer inspection, there was Solo available for $70!, obviously vending machines had hit an outrageous new high.
We ended up at the train station which was on a hill that exists at my old school. There was a 'smoke' train moving slowly passed by the lush, green grass. It was just like a steam train except there was smoke wafting everywhere and creating a dense haze. I knew another more modern train was going to come exactly when my alarm clock would go off at home.
I told L I had gotten up early [About 4-4:30 for the earlier Matrix bit] and not turned my alarm off. It would wake everyone up with no one around to stop it fast enough (a concern for me in RL; my heart jumps even when I'm ready for it to start beeping).
Being close to my house at the station I told my sister, "You're fast"; since she was a vampire, and she caught my meaning. So my sister walked backwards subtly through the smokey haze in order to get out-of-sight before disappearing insanely fast. I walked away prepared for her to return at any moment but she soon followed me at a normal pace and told me the smoke wasn't thick enough. I suggested a very small shed that was open next to me, but her argument against it was that someone could notice she didn't come back out fast enough.
Just at that moment I checked my watch again which I had been doing all dream; each time only looking at the analogue. It was right on the minute as I looked at the hands that I knew my alarm at home would go off. Then my RL alarm clock went off at EXACTLY the correct moment it would have in my dream.

--The power of the internal body clock; truly brilliant.
--Decided to start rating my dreams.

Had another Twilight dream (finished it last night) where I was Bella and I had to protect a friendly group of vampires using her shield. I had a double/extra perspective of where the shield extended to and could move it about just by thought but it wasn't like having an extra sense or limb; more like dream interaction by thought.

Heh. That's pretty awesome. Motoko is such a kickass character. The style you were talking about seems a little like kickboxing or TKD, but a little more free-formed, like Jeet Kun Do. Maybe it was a combination of elements from more than one style?

Ah Oneironaut, good to see you here. Yes Motoko is badass and I figure it must be a combo art, probably me picking the bits I liked out of numerous styles.

9/2 - Rating 2/5 - Lost a lot of clarity from leaving these notes too long.

S arrived at school and obviously pulled her skirt up just enough that a bandage she had around her upper thigh was showing. People began asking her what happened and this was obviously her desired reaction. I paid little attention to her as I could see why she was flaunting her merely bruised leg (the bruise itself was rather impress).
Later, I was pushing someone who was in a wheelchair to a gym. As I got there the guy/brother got out of his chair and began boxing against hit pads. The gym seemed to be the main place he could get up on his own ok. This really big guy was his sparring partner/friend and he was soon getting really pumped up.
They took the training outside where the wheelchair guy was telling his friend to, "Come on! Gimme your biggest shot!" because he wanted to push himself and sure enough the big guy started throwing massive punches.
I watched on absently, wandering around close by. Something dropped over the end of the wide ramp's stainless steel railing and feeling full of energy I under-barred the railing, dropped down under the ramp and retrieved the (glove?), throwing myself back up the gap quite acrobatically. I noticed the concrete was slightly damp and there was drops of rainwater on the underside of the railing which helped me spin around it with my hands.
--Shift--
N, and someone else were sparring off later and D and I were sitting in the sun on the rails; on the other side to my drop down before. D surprised me with news he was going to New York soon; I hadn't/haven't seen him in a while and it came as a sudden change.
--Shift--
S came by the grass near the gym's ramp with some school juniors later and was giving them a sort of tour. We spoke for a little bit and then she moved away with her group. She may have gone across a low bridge and we were quite close to a freeway with cars speeding passed all the time.
--Shift--
I had just gotten out of a hotel style, indoor pool and was talking to G. She mentioned I had to pack soon for the airport. As I toweled myself off, G made a comment on S's towel not being all that hot/sexy. I replied to the effect that she wasn't really trying to impress anyone so she was fine using a plain, hotel white towel. G seemed to agree and left it alone.
--Shift--
Watching a psychics show (like 'One') where contestants tried to prove their psychic powers. As I watched my perspective changed into that of the camera and eventually into a body at the scene. A guy had failed a challenge and was thrown off quite a high bridge inside a dark, cult like building. There was no danger in letting him fall since water was at the bottom, however he was very close to hitting other lower walkways. As a second part to his punishment he also had to do laps. He started off with breaststroke as some friends of mine and I looked down and had a laugh. The contestant looked up, giving a smile from the green lit water and joked along with us.

Part of my dream was me and a group of other athletes sprinting across a huge, super-green grassy field. It was a warm up/training exercise and we were to stay as a group. I knew I could out run them easily but I didn't want to get too tired half way, so I just pulled ahead at the end, where the field started to slop upwards. Our instructor/coach ran ahead of us really fast; being a big guy I was quite impressed.
All of us were moving much faster than humanly possible and with relatively little effort. We just cruised at the sprinting pace for well over the normal human 10 second ability.

Commando Kerrigan

Dream began in my backyard. I was a part of a military style exercise; our side against the defending side further down the hillside. It began with myself as a field commander with thermoptic camouflage and a rifle. There was another soldier kitted out like me and the third was a sniper. He wore all white and had two long range rifles; one for each hand.
I became the sniper and slowly moved around the house to behind the lower balcony's railing where I put down one of the rifles the white soldier had. Back in my normal body, I came forward as well, equiped myself with the sniper's rifle and turned on my thermoptic camouflage. It had been commented earlier that having all three of us with this cloaking technology would be much more efficient but we delt with what we were given.
So I became a second sniper and I slowly moved out into the enemy's line of sight. I knew that moving too fast would cause a shimmering effect and may get me spotted by enemy lookouts. As I moved into a better position down the fence line, my partener had circled around the building. Our job was to cover him while he made a stealthy assault. Unfortunately I think he was picked off early and that 'round' of training went to the other team.

When the second round began, it was a one-on-one between me and the other leader. We both had to start at the same point and move away before we could start fighting. As I moved out I was already cloaked and found I was now a Dark Templar (starcraft). Happy that I could move freely invisible I passed the final base boundary and was ready to engage the enemy leader. At this point, half a dozen other templars came out of the woods and came under my command; this was a twist we hadn't been told of earlier. The only difference between us was my cape was blueish and theirs were red.
Continuing deeper into the woods, I planned to ambush the enemy with my invisible numbers. Then a whole lot MORE units came under my command (by this point my perspective is more and more like that of starcraft); I received at least 1 archon, some dragoons and some scout ships. While grouping up and trying to coordinate the ever growing numbers, one of my archons walked off and found an enemy zerg base. By the time I realised he was attacking he had already broken the enemy lines and was mindlessly attacking a hive building.
Seeing as the enemy base had minimal defense we all rushed in and quickly overran them.

Now here the scenario changed back to first person, me in my commander body, and it was back outside my house but on the opposite side. My sister (now the enemy leader) was there but she had been turned into Kerrigan! After some futile banter between us, she became enraged and attacked. Using he claws and insane speed she was soloing half of my forces, pulling massive flips and racking along people's backs.
Then we must have injured her enough for her to retreat but she made some comment like, "This was only an outlying base, I have many more." Looking back down my yard toward where the pool is I could see almost everywhere and knew she was lying. She could only have one more major base hidden away.
After regrouping we assaulted and easily destroyed Kerrigan's second base. Then the dream shifted to a more mundain plotline which was also still interesting but I didn't write down and have forgotten.

I keep telling myself I'm going to write down my dreams more but every time I think to myself, "Oh I will definitely remember this one."

Was in town along a fairly busy main road. Wanting something to eat my family and I went down a side road which I remember thinking didn't normally exist there; none of the environment was like real life though. We got a pizza style box that was about three times as high as a normal square one. Inside was this half pizza half cake creation that look so incredibly tasty. It had so many toppings on and was steaming hot; all nicely melted together.
I had asked prior to this why we didn't just go to the general pizza store across the road/lane we were in now. Once I had seen this mouthwatering creation however I quickly understood why.

Elementalist

My dream began in a huge subterranean cave and running right down the middle was a huge sheer chasm. The whole cave was packed with people and went on for so long that there were little specs of light from fires in the distance.
Standing atop the gapping hole in the ground someone on the other side was taunting my group and I but being the leader I simply laughed at him and then led the way; falling down into the great void.
I could see above me huge dragons flying over the top and soon people were just pouring down with us. At some point here everyone was either exposed or transformed into purple or yellow blobs that represented what kind of person they were. I was a yellow falling blob, as were all my other followers but most other people falling were purple. We yellows seemed to be the superior minority group and all stuck together as we trail behind a big same yellow colored jelly fish. We sort of clung to it like a way to stay as a group through the void.
Upon reaching the bottom of the void it was all black and everyone seemed to have disappeared in this liquid/black/fog. Using a clicking like sonar I tracked down my followers (now back to normal human form) and we found a way out of the void's pit.

Upon exiting I was alone again but now outside a big, one story apartment complex; all very modern with a garden, fountain and smooth path out the front. I moved inside still clicking absently as I tried to find my people again. I occasionally saw others whom I recognized as purples and just ignored them.
The building was like a really nice dorm with bedrooms, common rooms and a big laundry room at the back. In this back room I looked out a low window to a pool and found there was one of my group standing in the waist high water. Pleased I had found someone I could stick with I climbed out of the large window and into the pool where I greeted the other boy/teen.
He seemed quite pleased I was talking to him and I quickly discovered he had been striving for recognition from me (the leader) but I never paid enough attention to him; his name was something like Alastair. I quite like the younger lad and sat on some nearby steps discussing the new place we were in. We concluded that we had arrived at a training facility for people like us (yellows/purples).
Just then I turned to look behind the boy and see our teacher/Matriarch (dragon thing?) wearing a white shirt coming around the corner. I quickly jump to my feet and yell something like, "Oh damn, get out of here now! You'll lose your form" to the boy; this was because he was in less control than I and may spontaneously transform (dragon?) upon seeing the Matriarch. To get him clear, I threw up my hand and created a wall of air which I elementally twisted to block his sight and jumped into the air myself to fly away in human form.
Having kept my form I wasn't going to risk it and go back so I just kept flying around using my elemental powers. I eventually arrived at a community, outdoor, recreation hut building where I thought to try practicing my fire elemental control. I was great at air, ok with water, dodgey with earth and could just create a few flame puffs of fire. I tried numerous times to hold onto my flame but it just wouldn't work.
Then a girl who had obviously been at the facility for some time now arrived and asked if I wanted some pointers. Feeling much less high-and-mighty now than previously, I humbly accepted her tutoring. She explained how to burn bright/hot and helped considerably; improving my basic fire control greatly but nowhere near as much as her's. She was an elemental melder (purple) and could create/control electricity which was based primarily on fire.
___
The yellow/purple distinction was clear by this point.
- Elementalist (yellow) could control air, water, earth and fire at will.
- Elemental melders (purple) could only manipulate two (three if lucky) elements but they could create variations and twists when used together. When moving around the apartment previously, one of the purple people was an air/water melder who's specialty I knew was spontaneous typhoons.
___
Not long after I was getting better, a group of half a dozen friends of the girl arrived and they started up a beat using body percussion and singing in a language I had never heard. They really got into the song and started dancing a bit in a small circle. Once the song hit the first main section a new girl created a flame between her hands and twisted it out lithely until everyone in the circle had a piece.
While the dance was going on I vividly remember trying three times to do a double rotation in the air to make a fire spiral around myself but each time I just couldn't get the fire right. At this point I became aware of how high I jumped each time, how slowly I fell and how perfectly/effortlessly I landed. Dream logic took this one to my great air elementalist powers not a dream.
The dance grew and the group threw and manipulated each other's flaming spirals to the music, making it look spectacular. At one point a guy's flame went out but I knew he had absorbed its energy; he proceeded to ark it like a massive bolt of static electricity to the next girl who received it and then her opposite hand lit up in flames.
They could twist and control the flames remotely and freely in the air but mine was only on skin/touch. Eventually, as I practiced and they continued to dance, I worked out that I could burn really bright if I changed the oxygen level around myself; it worked brilliantly, looking really impressive. The first girl asked how I caught on so quick and I explained that I was kind of cheating. Using this new found skill I started mixing it up with aerial acrobatics while spinning fire out around my hands. It was more difficult to focus on my movements while also shifting the atmosphere around but looked and felt excellent.

Someone was explaining to me the chemical make up of two poisons that a rampant creature was using destructively around the place. I remember seeing a carbonate style formula for both mixes; the first was like: C2H8 & H5/C something. Both contained only carbon and a lot of hydrogen.

Elementalist was a great dream. Was it as fun as it sounds? It sounds like it would be a great video game.

The beginning is my favorite part, falling through the void and losing your form. I can hardly imagine what that would feel like.

Hey Robot_Butler thanks for dropping by. Yes the Elementalist dream was incredibly fun at times. The start had the sort of excitment you get from starting on a new journey but some of my attempts with fire got quite frustrating.

Cheers

Vague as notes:
Was at school. Day was called Black Saturday. Was playing jailbreak with friends. I climbed up to the top of a stair way to escape.
When tagged I went to hell. In the transition I could choose two 'party members' to take with me. I chose two but found out my original ones were excellent and switched back. Everyone/thing was fiery and shaking; SK was there.

Was with A's family at night. My brother just left wearing a shiny, silk stripped suit. We drank martinis and had boiled rice. Something about A's parents making-out.

Got in a gladiator/arena fight with another pro fighter. I got to choose the weapon and ended up getting towels. I was super confident I could beat this guy if the only weapons were towels. I spun it out and started whipping him with it. The first hit sounded really bad and I started circling him, getting all cocky. Then the weapons suddenly changed to his specialty, metal studded quarterstaves. He also pulled out a collection of other metal weaponry. He started getting cocky and taking swings at me with his staff but to my surprise I found I blocked each hit really well. I wasn't game to attack yet in fear he would find some opening to get me. He pulled back and from his extra collection rolled out a perfectly spherical metal ball, about the size of your palm. He rolled it out and I knew it was a bomb. I quickly knocked it back at him, again and again this routine continued. I knew if it blew up near me I would die but he would be seriously injured too; I couldn't understand his logic in using it in the small room we were fighting in.

I don't remember much/any of my dream last night however lots of really mundane things today like driving and something I asked my sister this morning gave me a huge sense of deja vu. Each time it happened I would get a half flash of some dream memory but lose it straight away.

- With school being back now my dream recall has indeed suffered from having less sleep. I'm planning on actively doing WBTB's on the weekends as a sort of make up.

I had gone on a short road trip with a whole group of people in this massive motor home. There was no way it would have fit into a standard road's lane as it was so wide and we could walk through its numerous rooms on the road.
I remember being in the very back seat which was like a really long back bus seat, easy fitting 6 people, although it was only me and another person.
It was really hot there where we stopped because the sun was in full blast through the window and I forced myself to get up and out. Before I did, someone opened the boot (yes it even had that) from the outside and the entire back of this huge van pulled up behind me.

Outside it was my (new) school accept slightly rearranged. We had parked in the middle area and lots of other random people were sitting around eating in some giant picnic. We joined in late however and I don't remember getting any food.
Instead I left all my stuff (bags) on the ground and moved up the hill toward where the 'main' event was supposed to be. It was a wedding and everyone was supposed to be in this huge hall; since we had come on the couple's invitation. From afar I could see it was almost over and decided to go back to the picnic and tell the others.
We were all pretty proud of the fact that we had bludged the wedding and I told them that since the ceremony was almost over, we could eat desert soon. It had appeared however, everyone had already eaten the desert which we were supposed to have waited for. Nicely enough, the group had left me a bowl with some sort of chocolate pudding in it and a whole carton of custard; which I caked on and thoroughly enjoyed. I felt pleased that someone had thought to save me some food since I didn't get any before

I was in some weird competition where the first part I remember is running into an office buildings reception room, looking around for where I was supposed to go next and frantically jumped into a back room closing the door behind me. On the messy desk was a laptop that I worked out had the next clue in it. Attached was this really cheap and nasty looking iPod which I ripped out and threw into my backpack. Here I pondered whether I was actually supposed to take the little device or leave it for whoever was coming after me but I figured it was such a shoddy/cheap/plastic contraption that they didn't expect to get them back any time soon. With this in mind I realized I was still completely alone in the room and started grabbing all the little bits of electronic equipment I could put into my bag inconspicuously. There were really expensive looking USB flashdrives, a little camera and about 5 other objects I stole. I remember trying to shove them to the bottom of my bag so that on a brief inspection no one would see the stolen goodies.
Feeling pleased at my ingenuity I left the office room and continued through the building. Not having gone very far, I stopped and suddenly wondered if there had been cameras watching me in the back room. Competition or not I didn't wanna get busted for theft but since no one had stopped me yet I figured I was in the clear so far. I really wanted to keep the rather expensive equipment and thought afterwards that I should have gotten more stuff like the whole laptop since everyone after me would probably pillage anything valuable too.
