I am a vegetarian, by the way. Even in dreams!

In dreams I'm more of a chocolatarian! Cakes, pies, candy! Smelling here is a good thing!

I think Tooth is a user on DV, actually. At least he is a lurker, because he said, "Your tutorial sucks!" But, he taught me a lot in that first epic series of battles with him. I have a feeling he learned Nightstalking on his own somehow, and then came on to DV. I wonder if he appears in others' dreams. The Cusp talked about someone similar that he called Gimpy chasing him through dreams relentlessly.

I kind of like Tooth. (Tooth, I know you are reading this, why don't you reveal your identity.) I don't think he is a real Nightstalker, in the sense that he terrorizes people, and induces nightmares, but his energy stealing was definitely creepy.

He's obviously not a zombie, but it's just a form.

Hey, this is the first dream where you actually perceived my shapeshifting ability, isn't it? Maybe because you were just sitting and watching.

This is the most fun I've ever had in my life! Shared lucid dreaming is much better than any hallucinogens I've ever taken! I am beginning to see the sequence of the Don Juan books.

Hey, Tooth! PM one of us! We've already had 3-way shared dreams. Let's do something cool together! You know where we meet...

I don't think he is going to do that, because he doesn't want to reveal himself.

Selene's Lucidity (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I fell asleep, focusing on the moon.
I was in outer space again. I knew what this meant by now. I turned on my energy belt, and immediately afterward pink glowing astral parasites tried to stick on me, but bounced off of my energy shield. I saw Tooth to my left.
"Dammit, I got shit to do," I said without looking at him. I opened a portal in front of me, spun, and went through.
Selene was waiting on the moon for me. I saw Tooth in the distance, fighting with some people. He was a giant size.
"You know what?" I said to myself in my head, "fuck that guy, I really don't feel like dealing with his bullshit right now."
Selene ran up and gave me a kiss. I held her for a second, then looked her seriously in the eyes. I turned on my energy shield again, generating from the energy belt Selene had given me. It grew large enough to shield both of us.
"Selene," I said, "I want to know if you are real."
"Of course, I am," she smiled, "you already know that."
"I mean, do you have a physical form?"
She looked bewildered, "I don't know... I..."
"You are dreaming!" I interrupted.
Her eyes got wide, and she stared off, as if in a trance. It kind of scared me.
"What is your name? Where do you live?"
"My name is A_____ S______ and I live in Washington State."
(this is what I had heard her say in Waking life)
"What is your address?"
"8*** S_____ L_____ Lane, Redmond, Washington."
"Okay!" I said excitedly, and woke up.
I had already looked up a person with this name, and one person I found was a pretty young veternarian. I found that the address didn't exist, numberwise, but I mix numbers up all the time in waking life anyway, due to a learning disability I have. There are two roads with similar names, but they end in Road, or Drive, and they are in Everett. I googled the the two streets in Everett, and they are a 45 minute drive away from the vet's clinic. I began having a strange feeling of belief mixed with a strong feeling of doubt, which was really strange. I found out this woman had gotten married. I wondered if she was divorced now like me. I decided to WILD again. I smoked one little hit of ganja, and went back to sleep.
I saw Tooth in front of Selene. She was still in a trance. Tooth was in the form of a man-sized zombie toad. He looked so revolting. He shot out a slimy tongue, and it wrapped around Selene. I saw energy flowing out of her into him. "That slimy bastard!" I thought. I leapt up, and slammed down on to his head, heels first.
"Gaah!" He leapt up high, to get away, but I caught him in a purple energy net. I was using my energy gloves instinctively now. I anchored myself with my energy boots, and spun him around. I opened a portal, and tossed him in like a hammer throw.
Raven appeared. I had a feeling Spike was there, but invisible.
Raven looked at Selene, and then did the same fire spell she did on me in another dream to burn the ectoplasm off of Selene.
Raven noticed Selene's trance-like state. She looked concerned, then looked at me.
"What happened?"
"Well, she's lucid, I think. I told her, 'you are dreaming.' She told me her name and stuff. I'm confused. Let's try and find her sleeping body."
"Okay," said Raven, and opened a portal. "Dammit!" I said, "I can't maintain focus. I am too emotional right now."
"Just grab my hand," said Raven. I grabbed her hand, and then Selene's hand and we went through. We were standing in the bedroom of a sleeping woman. I didn't really pay attention to what it looked like.
Selene looked down at Raven and I holding hands. She looked angry, and confused. I let go of Raven's hand. She seemed like she was still in a semi-trance.
I shook Selene. "Selene, Selene!"
"Huh? What?" She came out of the trance, and looked at me. I pointed at the sleeping woman.
"Is that you? Is that your sleeping body?"
"Huh?" she looked at the woman in bed. She seemed a bit startled and upset. "Me? No! Yes."
"What?"
"I'm sorry," she started crying. "I just wanted to be with you."
It all made sense now.
I held her in my arms, and teleported back to the moon. I held her as she cried quietly on my chest. I stroked her thick black hair. "You don't have to do that any more, okay? I don't want you to. Just be with me here." I caressed the back of her head, and held her around the waist. She looked up at me, and kissed lightly through her tears.
"Maybe I can make myself more corporeal!" I said.
"Okay," she said excitedly.
I looked down at my arms. I could see the flesh on them. I touched my forearms. They felt real. I felt my dream body getting more and more solid. Selene and I were somehow in a forest glen. It was the same one where we were with Spike after the first time we fought the Vampire King.
It was peaceful. There was light bluish grass growing ankle-high, and wildflowers about. The trees were small and young.
We held each other for a long time in silence. I thought about how real she felt.
**** missing time. I think I may have woke up, and went back to sleep here.
I was back on the moon with Selene. I saw Raven in the distance with Spike. She waved at me. There was a huge structure behind her. There was a huge curved tower, sweeping up into the night sky, the way the surface went concave and convex reminded me of a tree. At the bottom of the tower was a large banyan tree, with wooden egg shapes hanging off of the branches, large enough for a person to fit in. When I saw how tiny the banyan tree was under the tower, I realized how big the tower was.
At the top of the tower was a slightly pointed elliptical shape. The tower was a metallic blue-black color.
"That is a kickass fortress!" I called to Raven.
"I know!" she said. "Come inside!" She beckoned.
Suddenly the three of us were in the top of the tower, sitting in large comfortable chairs, at consoles, with windows facing out. I felt Spike's invisible presence standing behind us. He seemed to be in a serious mood.
I was so excited, I started to lose clarity, so I stared at the console. It was full of little screens, knobs, buttons, switches, and a keyboard. "Cool!"
"Now we have a fortress on the moon, in case any bastard like Tooth tries to attack us, and we don't feel like fighting."
"Exactly," said Raven.
"Funny how we thought of this at the same time, but we never really talked about it in waking life, yeah?"
"I know!" she smiled.
"So, this is a spaceship, right?"
"Yup."
"Nice." I pressed a big pink button, and the ship lifted off the tower.
"Let's have a space adventure!"
"Easy there," said Raven. "You've already had an intense night. This dream is pretty important. You don't want to forget it. I already see you fading away. Why don't you set 'er down, and wake up and write the dream down?"
"You're right!" I laughed.
"I like your tree house, by the way!" said Raven.
Selene turned and looked at me, burning her face into my mind as I awoke, with the distinct feeling that they were going on without me.
"Oh well," I thought as I woke. "This dream is very important."

Commentary:
I have dismissed Tooth as a possible friend or ally. He wants to be a disgusting energy stealer. He did teach me some things about dream battling, but I think he did it inadvertently.

The banyan tree house I something I want to grow in waking life. The banyan tree is an amazing thing. The roots come down from the branches, forming new trunks. I plan on forming these into egg-shaped rooms. I had a dream about this tree when I first got on this site.

I got the idea of a moon fortress from the Justice League of America in DC. No, not dream character, Detective Comics.

Falling asleep with Selene (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I wanted to revisit my living house, so I WILD'ed back to the moon, during a nap.

I was on the moon. Selene ran up and gave me a kiss. I said, "Let's go look at my house!"

"Okay!" she smiled. We joined hands and ran toward my house-tree. I pulled her up in a rope elevator, and we went into one of the egg shaped rooms. It was only really big enough for one person. We started making out.

"It's kind of cramped in here," she said.

"You're right," I said, "let's go find another room. We went out, and we slide down a wooden chute to a much bigger room, with a high ceiling. There was a couch built into it, with large pillows. She started kissing me and touching me.

"My clarity isn't too great," I said. "I know, how about we fall asleep here? I always wanted to see what would happen if I fell asleep in a dream!"

"Okay!" she said, and we spooned on the couch, and we snuggled together. I noticed a blue sky out of one of the windows with a tree banch and bird and I thought that was odd.

missing time

Note: This entire dream segment was extremely vivid. The most interesting thing is that it felt so familiar, I felt I had been in that backyard, or met that woman dozens of times.
I was in The House, the same house that I always dream about that changes appearance in dreams. It wa a dark night. This particular house looked like the one I lived in in AZ. Actually I was on the side of it, and I walked around the corner to a back yard, and there were two young women there, crouching down in the by the wall in the back. There was a pile of stacked wood to my left near the house with a tarp on it.

The two women were doing something on the ground making round flat stones in a small circle. The whole scene felt amazingly familiar to me. I got the feeling what they were doing was a secret, and I caught them in the act. One of the women stood up. I could barely see her. I saw her shape in the darkness. She was short and curvy. I was insanely attracted to her. She reminded me of a young woman that is an acquaintance of mine, who name I can't even recall at the moment. "Oh, there you are. You have come back for more, eh?" she chuckled.
I got the distinct impression the women were there in my backyard almost every night, and I knew about it, but this was maybe only the third or fourth time I sought them out.
I tried to let my eyes adjust to the light, so I could make out her face. I felt like she was standing closer and closer to me. I could feel her breath. Around this point, I realized I was dreaming.

I could feel her breath on my face. I thought she was going to kiss me, but instead stood very close, breathing. I felt her breath go into me. I closed my eyes. I felt my breath come out, and her breath come in. I took a deep inhale. "Yes, that's it," she said. The feeling of intimacy became increasingly intense. I listened to her breathing, and I listened to mine. She was exhaling as I was inhaling and vice versa.

Suddenly I was in the house. The house was bigger, the ceiling higher, and it was more decorated than the one in waking life. I was laying on my back, in shavassana. I heard her voice in my head.

"At first, when I met you in dreams, I didn't believe it was real either. I wanted you. bad. I still want you. One day we will meet, and then we'll know, we'll just know. I see your music, and you hear my thoughts."

I was lying under the dining room table, which grew impossibly long. I stood up.

I wanted to go outside and see her again. I didn't understand how i I ended up back in the house.

The dream began to fade. I looked around the room, remembered what The Cusp had said about glancing. It worked to increase my clarity. I felt myself floating up. For some reason, I felt that would make me lose the dream. I wanted to see the woman in shadow again.

I tried to float through the wall, but it didn't work. I tried to just picture the backyard, and want to be there, but that didn't work either.

I felt like I had to look at the lights in order to maintain clarity.

I heard a turtledove. I knew I was hearing that in real life. I slowly became aware of my body. It felt like my right arm was floating. I thought I had gum in my mouth. I couldn't see. I felt light coming in at the lower corner of my vision. I tried to remove a blindfold I had on my face in waking life. I realized this was ridiculous.

I woke up, in bed with Selene in my house-tree. We had a conversation about lucidity and clarity. I told her this dream with her felt like a WILD and not a DILD. I told her DILD's were always much more vivid. She told me just to touch her to increase the feeling of the dream. We started touching and caressing each other.
We made love in the darkness.
I started feeling myself waking. I told her I didn't want the dream to end. She said, "It's okay. It's time for you to wake up anyway. Write the dream down, don't forget. I love you!" She kissed me, and I awoke.

nice job with the metadreaming! i'm really amazed by your relationship with that woman. i hope you get to meet her in waking life.

your posts are great to read, man!

What is metadreaming? Is that falling asleep in a dream?

I will never meet Selene in waking life because she doesn't exist on this plane. The other woman was distinctly different. I have the feeling she exists on this plane. I will dream about her again. Sharing breath in that dream was one of the most intense experiences of my life. It felt so incomprehensibly real, as if I was reliving a memory, but not in remembrance, in waking life reality. It was so sensual... It was like we were having the most soulful communion two people could ever experience. I think having tantric sex with someone that you connect with on every single level while looking into each others' eyes would be like that.

Thank you for the compliment. I post my dreams because I want others to experience the beauty I have.

Going Hunting (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I fell asleep, and focused on the moon.

Chicken-Wuss
Ah, no interference between the Moon and I. I was on the moon, standing in front of the tower. I sensed Chicken-Wuss nearby (the one who calls himself Tooth). I pulled out a long green lightsaber. He was on my left and slightly behind. I lifted my lightsaber, and charged him. I did an overhead, attack, then a spin, then a leaping attack, everytime barely tapping him with it, just to humiliate him. I liked the sound of my lightsaber! wowong! wooong! He just put his hands in front of his big ugly head, and walked backwards.

"Ok, this is boring," I told Chicken-Wuss, then I teleported into the command center of The Tower. Raven, Selene, and an invisible Spike were there.

I saw Chicken-Wuss pop up in front of the window, as he leapt up from the ground. "Step away from the tower," said the computer in a stern female voice. "Step away from the tower, or you will be fired upon in...5"
Chicken-Wuss leaped up again, and slapped the window with one of his ugly green tapeworm tentacles."Four..." said the computer. He looked confused and disappointed. "Three, two...tower defenses, engage." Turrets on hydraulics popped out from the towers with a whirr and a buzz, and aimed at Chicken-Wuss. He had a stupid confused look on his face, then the turrets fired pink lasers at him relentlessly. He covered his head with his tentacles, and ran away, getting lightly singed.

Dark Past
We started laughing, except for Spike. "Are you ready to go?" asked Raven. "Hold on, I need to talk to Spike."
"Okay," she said. I turned around, and walked to the corner of the room. He was standing in front of me. He had bleach blond hair, and sharp Caucasian features. His eyes were a blue so pale they were almost white. He was wearing a black leather jacket, and jeans. His clothes had steel spikes coming out of them, fangs protuded from a subtle sneer. We began speaking telepathically:

Me: What is this antangonism I feel from you?

Spike: You really want to know?

I was afraid of saying yes. I could tell it was going to be something that I didn't want to see.

Me: Yes.

He showed me these two past lives, in images:
I saw a war-torn landscape in ancient times. All the trees and plants were either burned or maimed, on what must've been beautiful rolling hills at one time. A great stone tower stood in the east, leaning slighty with ancient age. Thousands of bats as vampires poured from the towers, and landed on the ground changing into man shapes. Thousands of naked men ran at the vampires, morphing into great red-eyed wolves, as they ran.
The vampires were from every age of earth, wearing clothes from many parts in history. Some look like bikers, others looked like mideavel nobility, others had capes. Some had some weapons, like chains, but most used claws and fangs. The vampires held their ground, as the werewolves increased in speed.
When the werewolves got within about twenty feet of the vampires, the vampires lunged forward into the werefolf army. "Gyaa-!" Already there were battle cries being interrupted by throats being torn out. Both sides were instantly taking heavy losses. The vampires swooped and whirled about, teleporting as green mist, and using bat forms to attack from above.
The werewolves were tearing into the vampires' necks, and consuming chunks of vampire flesh as they advanced.
The werewolves began to win. I saw myself, as a particularly large brown werewolf, leaping from vampire to vampire in instant kills, killing the ones that still remained.
I saw Spike as a vampire in modern clothing. I pounced on his chest, and ripped his throat out, then crushed his ribcage, and ripped his heart out, howling at a low harvest moon, his vampire blood pouring down my cheeks.

Then Spike began speaking:
"You and I were friends in a past life in France. My lover cheated on me with you."
Then, he showed me this scene:
I was standing on a sea cliff in the Meditarrean, about 12 feet above the water. The weather was balmy and peaceful. I looked up at the sky, and enjoyed the beauty of it all. I was dressed like I was in the Renassaince period. I had long wavy brown hair, and a pointed moustache and goattee.
Spike walked behind me and stopped. He was dressed in similar fashion. He had wavy blond shoulder lenghth hair, and was clean-shaven. He hadn't shaved, and had dark circles under his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot as if he had been crying or was angry or both.
"You bastard, turn around," he said.
I turned to face him. I knew what was going to happen. I stood there and looked at him, but I was too ashamed to hold his gaze. "Look me in the eyes, you fucking piece of shit. Look me in the eyes!" he screamed furiously.
He withdrew a dagger hanging from his side. He lunged at me, and stabbed me in the gut. My eyes bulged out, as I fell forward on to his blade. He knelt down, and leaned me back on his knee as blood poured from my wound and mouth. He wept convulsively, then slit his own throat, and fell into the sea.

The Old Hag
I wanted to say, "I'm sorry," but I knew that was ridiculous. I just sent him energy of projecting friendship, and he returned it, and it went in a circle. He kind of smirked at me.

"Let's go kick some Nightstalker ass," I said. Raven was sitting down at the starboard console, programming something into the computer.

A wall moved into the ceiling, and a teleporter like in Star Trek was revealed. Raven Knight and I were in a woman's bedroom. Spike and Selene had made themselves invisible. A small ugly female creature, like an old hag demon, was crouching on the edge of the bed. "Come on, little girl, start dreaming, so I can haunt you tonight," it murmured. It was pale and had skin like a human. Stringy black hair hung about its face. It had tiny pointed teeth, and its sockets were too big for its eyeballs. I had a feeling it would stink if I could smell in dreams. It was unaware of us.

We were standing behind it.
Raven and I looked at each other and nodded. I silently created a portal behind me. Raven unsheathed her sword. Ssshhink! The creature turned, surprised. "Huh?" it said.

It scowled at Raven's blade, but I could tell it was trying to mask its fear. Raven lunged at the creature, and I ducked as it leaped backwards toward me, and got sucked into the portal. It grabbed Raven by the hood, and I grabbed her ankles. Selene and Spike jumped into it, with hands on hilts of weapons.

A portal opened in an orange sky, and all five of us, fell on to a wasted lanscape. The soil was cracked and dry, and all the trees black and dead.
"Welcome to my world, puny humans," said the creature as it slowly inceased in size. Raven fired bolts of fire at it, and Selene fired bolts of moolight into its face. I shrunk, and turned into thousands of tiny Nomads, and began laughing the laughs of insects. It was angry, and tried to grab at the women, but they dodged easily and laughed.
My Nomads swarmed of the creature like army ants, stabbing it as they ran up its sides, covering it in white.
Bladed brass knuckles appeared on Spike's hands, he walked forward toward the creature, and turned into green mist. He teleported behind it, then leapt up to its shoulder, as my Nomads moved and made a space for him to land. He plunged both claws into the creature's flesh, then bit it, sucking its energy out. It shrunk down to its original size.
"No!" it growled in a high pitched gravelly voice, and stomped its foot.It suddenly changed into a bunch of tiny little fat green worms, and tried to squirm away into the cracks in the soil. I summoned a murder of ravens, and they flew down from the sky and landed on the ground, gobbling up the worms.
Suddenly I felt like I was having a vision: I was a raven, with a worm glowing inside of me. Then, I was Kamapua'a with Buddha inside me. I heard a disembodied voice say, "You consume the enemy's energy. Buddha lies within."
Then I saw the spirit of the creature as a faintly flickering flame i a white Void. I felt like it was whining and complaining about something that wasn't there.
I was standing on a chessboard that went out into infinity, and the sky was black all around. The hag creature from before appeared in front of me the size of a skyscraper. I felt revolted. It screamed at me like a banshee.
"This thing is not fucking around," I thought. I summoned a line of blue dragons, and they rose up from the ground with their eyes closed. They opened their eyes, and rushed at the the hag creature. It got scared, and covered its face, then it suddenly disappeared. My dragons disappeared also. I saw the hag creature as a transparent mist. "Dammit!" it's invisible!" I used my secret magic, and it fell over, wailing in pain. I wondered where the hag creature was. I saw it it as a little orange flame. A little baby dream demon merged with the flame, and grew into a giant devil. He had red skin, goat legs, a man's face and torso, and bull horns. His eyes glowed yellow. He had a gold ring in his nose, and smoke poured from his nostrils.
"You know, you're really starting to piss me off!" he roared.
I morphed into Otherme. I was wearing jeans, shirtless and barefoot. Red spikes protruded from my body. I closed my eyes, and spread my arms out. Dozens of little blue parakeets landed on my arms.
"Huh?" said the dream demon.
I launched the birds off of my arms, and they flew up into the air, forming an impossibly long huge sky blue translucent blade. You could see the birds inside it. The blade lurched forward, slicing the demon in half, his demon blood spurting as he fell backwards in slow motion.
I morphed into giant minotaur, and grabbed the handle of the blade. It was a giant sky blue sword. The demons body fell to the ground, and turned into little green worms, and tried to squirm away. I multiplied myself into fast little minotaurs, and killed all the worms.
The vision stopped, and I felt disoriented. Raven looked at me, concerned. "You okay, Nomad?"
"Yeah, I, uh feel kind of dizzy." I couldn't remember what just happened. "Let's go back to the tower."
"Okay," said Raven. She looked up like she was talking to Q, and we returned to the tower.

Space Adventure
"Hey, since we're in a spaceship, let's have a space adventure!" I said.
"Let's do it," said Raven, and sat down at the center console. She punched in some coordinates. Selene sat down at the starboard console, and I sat down at the port one. Spike grabbed a bar that was hanging from the overhead in the aft part of the ship, then flipped up and changed into a bat, and hung from the bar.
We went into warp drive, then appeared somewhere in space with a large ship off in the distance. There was a gas giant that reminded me of a cross between the colors of Jupiter and Saturn.

We were in a orange-red ship that reminded me of the shape of a hawk. "Gunners! Man your posts!" said Raven.
"Aye aye!" said Selene and I.
Sticks appeared in the console, and goggles came down over our eyes. "Autogunner, engage!" said Raven to the computer.
"Autogunner engaged. Starboard manual turret is online and engaged. Port manual turret, online and engaged. Battle shields up." A turret popped up from the center, then the starboard and ports sides of the ship.
A squadron of enemy fighters in small white triangular ships swarmed around us, and began firing lasers. Raven flew the ship almost right at the enemies like she had a death wish, then she would veer off at the last second. She was whooping and laughing like a maniac. We slaughtered them, until there were only two left. They tried to retreat back to the mother ship, but, Raven charged at them, and Selene, the ship, and I were able to pick them off.
"Yes!" said Raven, "now the mother ship doesn't even know we're here!"
Raven pushed another button, and the battle shield went down, and then she cloaked the ship and made it almost completely invisible. "Battle shields down, Cloak activated," said the ship.
Raven used tiny bursts to slowly float to the mother ship, then we landed on it and stuck to it with magnets.
We walked out of our ship on to the surface of the mother ship. Spike walked to a circle with two handles on it, the size of a manhole, and unscrewed it. We jumped down a vertical tube, one at time, and landed in a passageway.
"Intruder alert, Intruder alert," I heard a droid say. There was a red alarm light spinning, and a loud siren wailing. A large green lightsaber appeared in my hands. I saw were were dressed like Jedi Knights.
"Cool! A Star Wars adventure!"
"Of course," Raven laughed.
Droids appeared in the passageway in front of us, and I went womp, and knocked them over with the force. Selene pressed the button on her pink lightsaber. More droids appeared, and some tripped and fell over the ones on the ground. Raven threw her lightsaber, and it spun, parallel to the ground, slowly at the droids. They didn't know whether to fire at the lightsaber or Raven. They fired at Selene and I, but we reflected all their laser bolts back at them, frying them. Spike charged up two short green lightsabers, then ran at the droids, dodging all the laser bolts, and slicing them up.
"So what are we supposed to do?" I asked Raven, yelling over the din of battle.
"Rescue the princess, of course."
"Oh, right, duh!" I laughed. I sensed the princess was very near, on the other side of the bulkhead to my right. I phased through it, into another a dimly lit compartment. There was black stuff on every surface that looked like mold or dead algae. A little girl in a nightgown, about seven years old was hunched down in a corner, whimpering softly.

Dream Demons Giggle
"What the hell? I thought this was a Star Wars adventure! Why does this part seem more real?" I asked myself in my head.
I noticed there were ghost like ugly little fat imps halfway inside her. They seemed to be dancing around, kind of hopping and smiling. They looked like ugly little boys with red scaly skin, little pointed yellow teeth, pale white eyes, little horns and fins on their heads instead of ears. They had tiny claws on their feet and hands. The more the girl cried, the more they smiled and danced. I found the creatures absolutely revolting.
"Are these dream demons? They must be!" I thought. I didn't want to touch the vile things, so, I used my energy glove to pick one up by the throat. It wriggled and coughed as it grabbed at the energy fist. I lifted it up in the air, and slammed it against the wall. It tried to curse at me, but it could only gag and sputter. The other dream demons seemed unaware. With my other energy glove, I shot a giant energy staple at the demon, nailing it to the bulkhead around the throat.
I grabbed another one, and repeated the process, until there were about a doze squirming dream demons grabbing at the giant staples around their throats. As I reached for the little girl, the same creature as in the last dream appeared at scowled at me. Startled, I leaped back, and withdrew my dagger. The creature leapt up at me, and I stabbed it in the chest, pinning it to the bulkhead. It growled and complained, but it didn't die.
I picked the little girl up, and put her head on my shoulder. I thought, "this little girl feels like a real person."

The Glen of Healing
Suddenly we were in the forest glen again, the Glen of Healing, all five of us. The little girl skin was heavily lacerated. The frost giant appeared, and blew herbs on to the little girl. Her wounds got covered with leaves, and she floated above the ground with her eyes closed in a vertical position, and we bandaged her up.
She floated back down, and laid in down in the meadow, the grass growing thickly suddenly to cradle her head.
The frost giant blew his herbs again, and walked away. The herbs floated over the four of us. I noticed we all had some wounds, but we were not covered like the little girl. The herbs landed on our wounds.
"You have been wounded in battle, dream warriors," said a voice. "Now is the time for rest."
We lied down in the grass and fell asleep.
The dream faded, and I woke up.

The vision felt like my dream body went out-of-body! I was crazy.

Dream Warriors (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Damn you, Chicken-Wuss
As I fell asleep, I focused on the moon.
I was in outer space. I knew what this meant: Chicken-Wuss was going to attack me. "Dammit!" I thought, "I am so sick of this bastard!"

I created a portal in front of me. I felt one of Chicken-Wuss's tentacles wrap around my ankle. "Gaah!" I cut it off with my green lightsaber, and went through.

missing time

I had other dreams, woke up, went back to sleep, focusing on the moon.

Monster Battle
I fell through a purple vortex portal, and landed on the moon. Three giant monsters fell through after me. There was the red demon from my dream before, some blue bird-like thing, and and a greenish black monster like an octopus with short tentacles, and one huge eye. "What the hell?" I thought. I knew that Raven, Spike, and Selene were there, and were going to immediately attack the monsters.

I didn't bother hesitating either. I leaped up on top of the octopus monster, and plunged my lightsaber into its eye. Then, I jumped back down, and ran in a circle, around it, cutting off all its tentacles. I turned on my force field, and flew right through it, with my lightsaber in front of me, creating a huge hole in it. The monster turned into a bunch of little green worms, and tried to crawl into the cracks in the ground.

I summoned my golden dragon, and he breathed fire on all the worms, burning them to crisps, then he disappeared.

I saw the others fighting giant monsters in a city in the distance. "What the hell is this? A Godzilla movie?" I thought to myself. There were two monsters, the demon, and the bird-thing. Raven and Selene were whizzing around in the air, shooting bolts of fire and moonlight at the monsters, and Spike was running back and forth between them at superspeed, wielding two short swords, slicing them up, leaping up on to them, stabbing them, then flipping off.

I morphed into Otherme. I was wearing jeans, shirtless, and barefoot, instead of my usual white desert nomad clothes. Long red spikes protruded from my body. I put my arms out at my sides and closed my eyes. Dozens of cute little blue parakeets landed on my arms.

The red demon turned and looked at me. "Oh, that ol' gag?" he laughed. I launched the parakeets into the air, and they morphed into an impossibly huge sky blue blade, floating horizontally in the sky. I could still see the parakeets inside the blade, wings spread, perfectly still, looking straight ahead. I felt an inner rage come over me.

I morphed in a giant minotaur, and grabbed the handle of the blade. It was so huge, at first it was hard to tell it was actually a great sword. I ran at the demon, roaring with a dark fury. I raised my sword, and brought it down slicing him in half vertically. I spun around, and sliced the other monster in half. His pieces turned into a bunch of little demons. I multiplied myself into dozens of small minotaurs, leaping down on the little demons, and stabbing them in the crown of their heads.

I somersaulted out of the city, and the buildings faded and disappeared. Then, I sensed Tooth (aka Chicken-Wuss) above me. I turned on my force field. He rained down a torrent of something disgusting. It was like he was vomiting maggots on me. His maggots just bounce off, and slid down the side of my force field. I looked at him above me. He had jet boots on his feet, and was slowly descending to the surface of the moon. "A zombie with jet boots? How ridiculous!" I thought. My minotaur eyes glowed red with anger. I had enough of him interfering in my dreams.

I jumped straight up at him. He was surprised by my fury. I sliced him in half with my budgie sword, then again horizontally. He changed into a bunch of little worms. I summoned a swarm of ravens, and they gobbled up all the worms.

Raven walked over to me. I changed back into my Nomad form, but I was still holding my sky blue sword, breathing heavily. My eyes glowed red, and steam rose from my skin.

Raven Knight clapped me on the back, "So, when did you become such a- Nomad?"
She looked at me concerned. I was gazing off into nothingness. "Nomad, are you okay?"
"Huh? Yeah. I just..." I shook my head, and turned back into my nomad self. "I'm fine. Thanks."
"Okay," she said, doubtfully. "What the hell was that?"
"I guess Tooth followed me... but he was here afterward. Those monsters, I think we are attracting them as our powers increase. Maybe they are his little friends."
"Hmm," she pondered. "Let's go to the tower."

We teleported into the control room.
"So do you want to see-eyew!" said Raven. "Look at us." We were all covered with slimy ectoplasm. Music came out of her, and a healing fire came from above, burning all the slime off of us. "Mm, that's better," she said. "So, do you want to see your spaceship?" she asked me.

Losin' It
"Hell, yeah!" I said. We immediately were inside a silver spaceship. The insides of it were perfectly curved and smooth, with no straight lines. I sat down in the pilot's chair. "Like in Flight of the Navigator!" she smiled.
"Right!" I laughed. "This is the kind of the Greys have."

I started flying the ship telepathically, spinning it around, and making it do all kinds of crazy maneuvers. I looked down at my right arm for some reason. There was a big gash on my forearm, with little green parasites squirming about in it. "Gyaah! What the hell is this?" Raven looked at the wound, and did some type of fire spell on it. I was freaked out by the maggot things. I started shapeshifting uncontrollably. "Nomad, what's going on?"

"I can't-"
"Focus!" she yelled at me.
Her voice sounded strange and distant, my vision blurred and faded. I felt like I was going insane.

RAAA! I morphed into a giant lava minotaur, bursting through the skin of the ship. "What is wrong with me?" I roared. Raven shot a beam of purple flame at me, glowing orange at the tips. I shrunk down, and returned to normal.

I went back down into the ship, and the hole I made instantly closed, as if it was healing itself. Selene's face was pale. She was freaked out. Spike looked mildly annoyed.

"Go to the back of the ship," said the ship in my head. I stepped on to a glowing lavender circle, that looked like it was glowing through the deck. I changed into my energy form. The ship's energy started moving all around me, like an energy shower. I saw my nervous system in my energy body. For some reason, I was a lavender color, though previously I was always green. Lightning came down, and flowed through me. I saw a little green worm in the back of my skull.

"What is that? Can't you get rid of it?" I asked the ship.
"No, only you can. That is your rage. Do not fear it, and it will weaken and disappear in time," said the ship to me in my head.
I morphed back into my nomad self. I knew at that point that I was okay.

I summoned a cannabis plant. "What's that for?" said Raven.
"Good medicine!" I smiled. "I'll just keep that for later use." (Gauntlet reference.) She laughed and shook her head.
"Ah!" I sighed. "Now, I am better! So where shall we go? Let's visit the alien greys! No, let's have a space adventure! No, no. Let's find other dream warriors like us. I think it's important."
"You're right," said Raven seriously. Selene smiled, and Spike smirked as I sat back down in the pilot's seat.
"Here we go!" I said. I focused on finding other dream warriors, and kicked my ship into warp drive.

Planet of the Dream Warriors
We landed on a planet in a beautiful city. There was a small landing pad, with stairs going down it. We stepped out of the ship. It looked like we landed in the center of a park. The place was full of colorful plants, and strange pastel towers reaching to the sky. There were people milling about. Before us was a beige walkway. There was a small group of people that clapped and waved at us as we stepped off the ship.

A tall alien in a long white robe, with long sleeves and a tall hat, with some cloth hanging at the sides, stepped out from the welcoming committee and greeted us. He had wrinkled pink skin, a long face with no cheeks, a small mouth, no nose, and small intense eyes.

"Why can I see his face so clearly, and not Raven's?" was my first thought.
"Welcome," said the alien, "to the planet of the Dream Warriors. We have been expecting you. Come with me."

As we followed him down the path, I looked around at the city. There were all types of races milling about. Some looked at us curiously, some gave us no heed. "I feel like I'm on Oa!" I thought. I instinctively morphed into a Green Lantern.

Our guide turned to me and chuckled. "Yes, this is like Oa," he said, "but this is not. Keep that ring." I looked down at the Green Lantern ring on my finger. "When your imagination is too great to use to become a form, channel the power into your ring, and use it to defeat your enemies."
I morphed back into my nomad self. I noticed the others were also walking around wide-eyed.

The alien walked quickly ahead of us on the path, then suddenly morphed into a giant metallic spider-like structure. It was startling.
"Do not be surprised," he said, "you are in the land of dreams. Now, step into my mouth."

We walked into his mouth, and were suddenly in a dome shaped chamber made of stone, dimly lit by firelight. There was a group of people sitting in a semicircle on wooden chairs. In the center of the circle, was a stand with a pool of water.

There was a creature sitting in the center chair, who looked like the Devil. He had smooth red skin, goat legs, the face of a man, and bull horns. "Step forward, Dream Warrior," he commanded Raven Knight. She stepped forward and stood before the water. "In your world, you are a Queen. Now you are an Apprentice. Gaze into the water." She looked down, and her eyes grew huge.

I looked around the room. "I can't believe this is happening. Is this real? Are we actually in the realm of the Dream Warriors?" The devil person said something else to Raven, but I wasn't paying attention.
"Step forward, Dream Warrior," he commanded me, "In your world, you are a king, here, you are an Apprentice. Now, gaze into the water."
I looked down in the water, and saw scenes of past lives, torment, pain, anger, rage, love, war, death, agony. It was overwhelming. I saw future lives where I will be non-human races. The future life scenes were blurry and obscured. Then, I saw a great lemniscate in outer space. All the Dream Warriors that have ever lived, and ever will live, were making up the great lemniscate. I felt they were all moving through me, and I was moving through all of them. I felt pain, joy, and anguish. Everything was getting smaller and bigger simultaneously. We were all infinite.
I looked up at the devil man. "What did you see?" he asked.
"Everything and nothing," I said. He almost imperceptibly smiled and nodded.
"Step to the side," he commanded me. I stepped over to the side, and two people placed some type of cloth over my shoulders, which draped down over my chest.

Next he called Spike who stepped forward sneered. The devil-man seemed as if Spike's contempt didn't bother him. I didn't really pay much attention to their exchange because I was still thinking about what I had seen in the water.

Then, the devil-man called forth Selene. "Yes, Father," she said.
"Father?" I thought, "this is getting too weird. Is that a title?"
Again, I didn't pay much attention to their exchange, so overwhelmed I was by everything.

"Here you will commence your training. And now we battle!" said the devil man.

Training in the Dome
The four of us were suddenly in a great dome with a dirt floor. A rock giant made of boulders stood before us. I morphed into a minotaur, and charged it. It was like slamming into a wall.
"Use blunt weapons!" yelled Raven.
Great hammers appeared in the hands of Raven, Selene and I.
"We should use earth attacks!" I shouted back. Spike was already wielding great metal fists, pounding the ground, sending shockwaves at the monster, and it wavered. I slammed my hammer into its right ankle with a loud crack!
Selene ran up its leg, and on to its back, going boom boom boom on the way up with her hammer. She got to its face, then plunged a sword into its right eye. It roared in pain and anger.
ShhK-BOOM! ShhK-BOOM! Spike sent shockwaves at the rock giant. His right ankle broke and crumbled, then his left, and it fell to the ground and disappeared.

A great fire elemental appeared before me, hissing, with a devious grin on its face. I looked around for my friends. They were gone. "Are you afraid?" a disembodied voice asked mockingly. I ignored the voice, and morphed into a water elemental, then charged at it. Its heat changed me into steam, then it laughed at me.
I summoned my water dragon, and now it was full grown. It looked like an Eastern dragon, with a Western dragon's head. I merged with the water dragon, and we wrapped ourselves around the fire elemental, like a constrictor serpent. It was contained, but not defeated. It tried to turn us into steam, but we were too powerful. "What else do I need to do?" I thought, getting frustrated.
"Aha!" I saw a little pile of fuel, like charcoal that it was coming out of, like a genie coming out of a lamp. I separated from my water dragon, then, as a water elemental, I sliced through the fire elemental's tail with my hand. I morphed back into human form, and stomped on the fuel.
The fire elemental screamed for a second, then disappeared, and my water dragon was gone.

A lightning elemental appeared in front of me. "I know how to handle this," I thought. I became a water elemental again, and as he tried to shock me, I channeled his attacks right back to him, but it did nothing. I changed into a mountain, and tried to do a physical attack against it. It just kept shocking me. I changed into a great tree, and it split me in half. "Why am I doing this?" I thought, "this didn't work against Zeus."
I changed into a giant rubber ball. The lightning elemental seemed confused. It's attacks did nothing to me now. I opened up a mouth slowly, and swallowed it. I could feel it bouncing around angrily inside me, then it dissipated.

The devil man appeared in front of me, towering above looking terrible and evil. His eyes glowed yellow. He chortled. He flexed his fists, cracking his knuckles. He picked me up, and swallowed me. I let my rubber ball self roll down his throat, and when I got to his stomach, I started bouncing, bouncing, bouncing, harder and faster, until I broke through his flesh. I bounced harder and faster off the sides of the dome, until I was bouncing as fast as a bullet, putting holes in him from all directions. His eyes bugged out. OOF! He gasped, and the battle was over.

He returned to normal size. Smoke rose from his skin. "So why do you look like The Devil?" I asked.
"Because you're a fool!!!" he answered derisively, then disappeared.

Going Home

We were back in my silvery spaceship, as it attached itself to the tower.
Raven looked at me. "Wow," she said quietly. I nodded. For the first time, i saw Raven's face. She had a kind heart shaped face, gentle eyes, that were slowly changing color, from blue to grey to hazel to violet. Her shimmering hair hanging down at the sides was ash blond, with streaks of lavender, pink, and pastel blue. She had fair skin, and light freckles across her cheeks, a small pointed upturned nose, and a small mouth.
My cannabis plant sprouted little legs, and walked over to me, and nuzzled up against me like a dog.
"What the hell?" she laughed.
"What? It likes me." I pet it.

We were standing back on the moon, looking at the tower. Now there was a black wall around it, made of a shiny black stone, with Tesla coils built at intervals. The Tesla coils made a dome-shaped force field over the Tower. We walked in the front gate. Near my ficus tree was a mango tree, a starfruit tree, and other plants growing around it, spreading across the ground. "A biodome," Raven whispered.
"Yeah!" I smiled. "Hey, let's go look at my house!" I said.
We teleported into and indoor greenhouse, shaped like an egg, its wall made of living wood. "And this," I said, "Is my greenhouse!" as we walked between rows and rows of cannabis plants. Raven laughed again. "You are ridiculous." I broke a flower bud off of a plant.

We teleported into the Great Room, the room with the couch going around it. "Wow, it's really beautiful in here," said Raven.
"So..." I said, "anyone want to smoke a joint?"
"No!" laughed Raven, "you know I'm not into that stuff!" I looked down in my hands, sat down, focusing on rolling my joint. Selene grinned at me.
"It really is pretty in here," said Raven quietly. "Thank you," I replied.
Raven disappeared.

"I don't really care for that shit, but I could use a cigarette, mate," said Spike. I summoned a rolled cigarette and handed it to Spike. "Thanks, mate," he nodded, with the cigarette already in his mouth. He withdrew a lighter from his pocket and lit up.
He looked at me, and barely smiled, then disappeared.

I took a lighter out of my pocket, and lit the joint, taking a good puff. Then, I handed it to Selene. She took a puff, smiled and handed it back. I leaned back in the couch, and put my arm around her. I took another puff. "Ah, dream weed," I thought, "I actually feel high. Haha!"
Selene snuggled up next to me and sighed. I looked up at a window, and saw moonlight pouring in.
"Life is good," I said half to myself, half to her. "I want to stay in this dream for a little while longer."
"But, I don't want you to forget it," she said, as she caressed my chest.
The dream faded, and I awoke.

No, I was in third person view. I go back and forth between third and first person view so frequently that I don't make note of it anymore. The only time my vision changed was when I morphed into an insect.

the walking cannabis plant was the best! hahaa. i had flying palm trees once... fun.

Flying palm trees sounds hilarious! Why did that happen? Cannabis is a good antidote for rage. Anyway, here's my entry from last night's dreams:

01.10.2009

Beauty and Agony (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

As I fell asleep, I thought about how Tooth kept intercepting me somehow on the way to the Moon.

Truce

I created a purple vortex portal directly above my bed, and I found myself on the moon. For some reason, the same damn monsters from the night before were there, but they were already being defeated by Raven, Selene, and Spike. I saw them back in that bizarre faux cityscape again, amongst skyscrapers. It seemed like the squid thing was the last one remaining. Again, I leapt up, and plunged, this time my white sword, into its, eyes, ran around, cutting off all of its tentacles, and sliced it in half.
The cityscape disappeared. I felt a presence from above. I saw a giant Tooth descending. He had on some type of power boots and gloves, and jets were coming out of his boots. "What the hell? Is this guy mimicking me now?"

I raised my sword.
"No, wait," Tooth said, "I don't want to fight. You can help me. I'm... I'm sick."
I sheathed my sword. He landed on the moon in front of us. Spike looked suspicious. Selene seemed curious to see how I would react. I noticed then he looked more like a real person, with a gross infection, than an actual zombie.
Raven smiled at him, and said, "We can help you with that." She looked at me, and I nodded to her. "Come here."

Tooth shrank down to normal size, and stood in front of her. He kind of looked like a kid wearing a Halloween spaceman costume. Raven began singing. She closed her eyes, and lifted her arms. Something like wind came out of her, and she opened her eyes. Her eyes were glowing a golden color. Something was being blown out of Tooth. It looked like a ghost.

Tooth's face and body began to shift uncontrollably. Spike leaped upon him, knocking him to the ground. A dream demon stood before me, its feet in Tooth's chest. Selene drew her sword. I tackled the dream demon, pushing it forward, and held it on the ground. Selene plunged her sword into its head, and it turned into vapor and vanished. Raven kept singing.
Spike let go of Tooth, and he stood up. He seemed disoriented. He looked like a green crystal. I could see he had glowing green parasites in his body still.

"Hmm, where should we take him?" said Raven.
"To the Tower?" I asked.
"Ok," she said.
We walked past the wall. Tooth looked around at the plants and fruit trees beginning to carpet the ground. "Oo!" he said.

We were suddenly in a room in the tower that I had never been in. I felt like were on the third floor. A medical droid appeared and scanned Tooth. A woman's voice, the voice of the Tower computer said, "Parasites detected, unknown presence detected, illness beyond capabilities."
"I know where we can go," I said. I created a portal, and we went through to the Glen of Healing.

We were in a beautiful forest glen at the base of a great mountain range. All the tall grass was bluish. There were little insects flitting about. Tooth looked around. He began shifting uncontrollably again. "Ah! Help me!" he whimpered. He fell to the ground and began convulsing. Selene grabbed on arm, and Raven grabbed the other one, and Spike grabbed his ankles.

Another dream demon stood in front of me, and said, "You call yourselves dream war-" CH-CHKBOOM but was interrupted from a blast from my one-handed shotgun. As it dissipated, it cursed at us.
We let go of Tooth, and he tried to stand up, but he was too weak. The parasites began crawling out of him. It was revolting.

Raven raised her right arm, and purple and orange fire came down from the sky, on to all of us, burning all the ectoplasm off of us, which for some reason we always got covered with after fighting dream demons and nightstalkers.

Tooth was whimpering softly. There were still a few stubborn parasites left in his gut, and his head. The frost giant appeared, pushing the trees apart. He blew healing herbs on all of us, and the crushed leaves went right to our scratches and wounds from the previous battles, and on to Tooth also. The frost giant picked him up, and put him over his shoulder like one carries a small child.
"I'll take care of him," he smiled, and walked away.

missing time

I had some other non-lucid dreams, woke up, then went back to sleep.


Healing Magic
I was on the moon again, standing beneath the tower. Raven was right next to me, creating a portal. "So, you're coming this time, right?" she said. "Yes, I nodded." Spike and Selene were standing behind me. We went through. We landed in the bedroom of a sleeping woman. Raven sang, and beautiful blue energy surrounded the sleeping woman. I also did Tuvan throat singing, and a pinkish lavender energy floated around the blue. I played my didjeridoo, pointing it at the floor underneath her. Large spheres of energy came out of it, like bubbles, and she was floating on them. I noticed she had some kind of astral parasites in her, so I stopped playing and made three medium sized vortices, like little purple tornadoes, and they moved back and forth through her dream body, sucking them out.
Spike and Selene watched us placidly.
"Thank you," said Raven, "that's good for now." She made another portal, and we returned to the Moon.

In the Frost Giant's Cave
"Let's check up on Tooth," she said. "Ok, good idea," I said.
We were in a cave on a mountainside. The frost giant was in the back of the cave with Tooth. A small fire was burning. The frost giant was watching Tooth draw on the wall. Tooth looked at us.

"He's teaching me things," he smiled.
"Good," I said.
"And, my name isn't Tooth, of course. It's Joseph."
"That's like my pet's name, Jo." Jo, my astral pet appeared in the form of a big black dog. He ran up to Joseph, and licked his face. Joseph giggled. I then realized he was just a kid. I don't know how, but somehow he had learned to be a Nightstalker. He would release his rage and anger at night in dreams.

I could understand how I would be amazed at that as a kid, and I may have even been cruel to people myself if I had that ability at that age.
We went to the edge of the cave, and waved goodbye to Joseph and the frost giant. I summoned my sky blue dragon, and my golden dragon, and Selene and I got on one, and Raven and I got on the other one.
The dragons took off, and flew over the countryside. It was so beautiful, I felt like crying.

"We still need to go to the Dream Warrior planet!" I called to Raven.
"You're right!" she said.

Dream Warrior Master
Suddenly we were back in that same park as before. I saw the same tall alien with the pink skin. He seemed to melt into some kind of monster, then I realized the entire scene around me was smudging and melting.

I felt like I was back in the dome as before, but everything was pitch black. I looked around for my friends.
"You're alone. Are you afraid?" said a booming voice.
"NO!" I shouted defiantly. I felt embarrassed that I had even answered. I felt like a silly child.
Suddenly a man appeared in front of me. He looked like my nomad form. We were in a furious sword duel before I knew what was happening. He countered my every attack, and I his, but I felt like he could have taken me at any moment if he wanted to. At first I enjoyed it, then I felt like he was toying with me. I began to get frustrated.

"Why do you torment me, Dream Warrior King?" I asked angrily.
"I am no king!" he spat, "I am a man, just like you!" The way he said king was just like the way he had said fool in my previous dream, full of derision. He disappeared, and I was in blackness again. He left me in silence. I could hear myself panting. Sweat ran down the sides of my cheeks. I looked around for my friends again. I felt my heart rate increasing.
"You are alone. Are you afraid?" the voice demanded.

"Yes," I conceded.
The man appeared in front of me again, in the form of my nomad self. "Good. Do not deny your fear, ever. You are learning the ways of the warrior." Then, he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Selene's Story
I was back on the moon again, under the tower.
Selene ran to me, and I held her. I sensed Raven was talking to Spike in the distance, but I didn't pay attention to them. "So, what did you see in the water?" I asked.
"Pain, death, beauty, agony, birth, defeat, love... so many lifetimes. And then dream warriors, infinitely. It was overwhelming."

"I saw the same thing! And what did you see in the battle, when we separated?" She spoke to me telepathically in images:
I was alone in a dark place. Suddenly I was surrounded by six elementals: two earth, two fire, two water. I shot chains out at the earth elementals which wrapped around their ankles, and pulled them in, smashing them into each other. Then, I ran around in circles around the other elementals, making them spin into vortices. I forced the water elementals into the fire ones, and they canceled each other out. I was suddenly floating in space, and a dagger was stabbed into my heart from the back. I was in total agony and pain. I thought it would never end. I cried out for it to be over, and at that second it was.

"Wow," I said softly. "What was that dagger part about?"
"I was told that's what the pain that was like that I caused you." She looked up at me, and her eyes watered. She buried her face in my chest. "It was a hard lesson in empathy," she told me telepathically. I felt her chest heave, and my chest became wet with tears. I held her close. She clutched me tightly. "I'm sorry." I stroked her hair, and kissed her head.

"I feel myself waking up."
She looked up at me again, and kissed me softly on the lips.
"Then, wake up, and write everything down. I don't want you to forget any of this." She looked into my eyes, as if wanting to memorize my face. "I love you."
"I love you, too," I whispered softly, and the dream faded.

Getting up to date.
Chicken wuss? lol
That place with dream warriors sounds cool.
O.o, past lives, and the history of many DCs.

That part made me laugh my ass off! He hadn't even finished his insult and BLAM! He's dead!

Thanks for the healing!

My dream guide, Q (looks like Q from Star Trek), says Joseph is a natural born traveler. The dream demons intensified his abilities, but they also turned him nasty. He's not really a mean or cruel person... it was just what the dream demons made him.

Yeah, I had that feeling that Joseph was infested with rage parasites. I didn't know that he was also infested with two dream demons. Gross.

Thank you for the oppurtunity to do good to your friend, and also to practice my dream healing skills. I am going to do the same thing in waking life tomorrow! (do vibrational sound therapy)

That's cool. The flying palms sound beautiful and funny.

Well, we knew that Tooth was never a zombie, and that was only his appearance, like a costume.

I actually am going to do the sound healing tonight with a friend that is doing massage and using singing bowls.

Night of Chaos (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was one of the most chaotic nights of dreams ever. The best way I can describe it was everything was happening at once, as if there was no time. I am going to piece together these fragments as well as I can. This was due to parasitic dream demons, and an expansion of my mind that was hard to comprehend.

Bring in the Clowns
Fragment
I felt no resistance between the moon and I. Tooth did not exist anymore. Only Joseph. Good. I created a portal above my bed anyway, just to be on the safe side. I tumbled out of it, on to the moon. The same three monsters, the squid thing, the bird thing, and the scaly demon tumbled out after me. I was getting sick of these clowns. I became a great red minotaur with a demon face, and summoned my sky blue budgie sword. My eyes glowed yellow. I sliced up the monsters in a calm manner.

Fragment
I was on the moon. My friends were fighting the three monsters in the faux cityscape. The bird thing and squid thing were defeated. I leaped up, and plunged my silver sword into the back of the great demon's head.

Damn Parasites
Fragment
I was in Alicia's room with Raven. Something felt wrong. Something was on my back. I somersaulted out of her room through the wall. I reached on my back, and ripped off a crab like parasite that was feeding off of my energy. I stabbed it with a dagger, and it dissipated.
I went back into the room. Raven was working healing magic, but it was not very effective due to the parasite thing on her upper back. "Raven, come here," I said calmly.
We stepped out into the yard. "What is..." She felt the thing on her back, and ripped it off. I knocked it out of her hands, to the ground, and stabbed it with my dagger. Raven did her fire-healing spell on us. It helped, but I had a feeling it wasn't enough. I still felt sores in my back. "Maybe we should go back to the tower," she said.
"You're right." She created a portal, and we went back to the tower.
We were in the sick bay. The tower computer scanned us. Spike and Selene were there. "Parasitic wounds detected. Ectoplasmic toxin detected." A medical droid appeared, and two beds.

The droid gave me a red glowing liquid to drink. It said it was pomegranate juice. I drank it, and felt healing energy course through me. I lied down on the bed, and the droid wheeled me away to another room. Spike wheeled Raven away, led by another medical droid and Selene followed me. I peeled off my shirt, and lied down on my stomach. The droid poured some kind of liquid into the puncture wounds, then bandaged me up, and told me to rest.

Fragment
I was lying in the Glen of Healing on my back. I felt the grass lift my body up. I was floating on it. Selene was stroking my hair.

Fragment
I was in the cave of the Frost Giant with Raven, Selene, and Spike. Joseph was in the back of the cave with the Frost Giant. Joseph smiled and turned to us. He saw the bandages on Raven and I. "Dream demons, huh?" he said. We nodded.
"Hey, look at what I can do!" he said, as he walked to the entrance of the cave. He lifted up his right hand, with a thick leather glove on it, and whistled. A beautiful peregrine falcon landed on his hand. He gave it a strip of meat, and stroked its head.
"Isn't she a beauty?" he asked.
"Yes," I smiled.

Dark Elf Adventure
Fragment
The four of us were on some Outer Lands adventure that Q had concocted for fun and practice, so we couldn't get hurt. We were all Dark Elves. We had dark skin, like coal with a purple tint, yellow slanted eyes, small fangs, and black hair. We were riding on horses through a forest at night. I was wielding the staff that was created with the stone we stole from the Vampires, softly glowing blue-white in the darkness. I had a sword on my hip.
"Am I Gandalf?" I thought, confused. I saw Selene on my right firing white arrows at unseen enemies behind us.
Raven and Spike both had swords and shields.
"What's with the Gauntlet archetypes?" I thought amused.

missing time
I was standing on the forest floor, waiting the approach of the enemies pursuing us, humans wearing the armor of crusaders. They had large red crosses on their breastplates. I slammed my staff on the ground, and moonlight burst from the stone as the enemies approached. The horses spooked, and some of the riders got thrown off their horses. The ones that fell stood up and charged me, while the ones on horseback pursued my friends. I drew my sword, whirling, thrusting and shooting bolts of moonlight at my enemies.

missing time
We rode to a great dark castle. Bats were flying in and out of it. "Ah, the Castle of the Dark Elves," I thought with a grim delight.
Note: the Dark Elf deams disturbed me, as if I was reliving a past life.

Third Eye In the Mirror
Fragment
I was in a meditation room I created in my living ficus house. There was small shrine with some figurines on it: an angel, a man-bat, a human, an elephant, a blue dragon, and a golden dragon.

Above the shrine was a great mirror. The mirror had a beautiful frame, like dark silver with hints of gold, wrought into the shape of two dragons. I saw Zaphor, my red dragon guide floating on a cloud in the mirror.
"How do I increase clarity?" I asked him.
"Open your eyes, he said."
He faded into the background slightly, and I saw my own face. "Open my eyes, open my eyes," I said to myself. Suddenly, my third eye popped open, and looked around. It startled me. I looked at it. It was the most vivid thing I have ever seen in a WILD. It had a blue iris, and thick black lashes.

Fragment
I was meditating in my meditation room, with my eyes closed, but I knew my third I was visible. Selene walked in. I knew she saw my third eye, but was unphased by it. "May I join you?" she said in a tone that wasn't really a question. She sat down on a pillow and meditated.

Fragment

I was in the sick bay with the other three for some reason. My third eye was open. I looked at the others. I saw how each of them looked in their past lives. It was like a series of images going, flick flick flick like a slideshow. It was overwhelming.

In Which we become the Justice League
Fragment
I said to Raven, "How about a superhero adventure?" I asked. "After all, we are kind of like the Justice League," I said.
"Okay," she laughed. She looked up and to the side, and I could tell she was talking to Q.
We were in the Justice League moon fortress. I was the Green Lantern. Spike was Batman. Raven was the Scarlet Witch. Selene was Psylock. "Psylock?" I thought amused. "She's not in the Justice League." For some reason, Raven changed to Wonder Woman for a second and said, "Reports indicate that Doomsday is back on Earth again, in North America." She changed back to the Scarlet Witch, and began creating a portal.
We were in a city park. A giant Doomsday, had some people in his hand. He was destroying things, and making a general mess of the park. When he saw us, he dropped the people. I formed a giant hand with my ring, and caught the people. My ring started telling me their medical status, and vital signs. I saw Raven/Scarlet Witch doing something crazy that was making reality bend. I had to look away because it was disorienting. Spike/Batman ran up Doomsday's back, and was punching him in the back of his neck with spiked brass knuckles. Selene/Psylock was teelporting around Doomsday stabbing psyblades into his flesh.

I began flying to a hospital in the city, then I thought I should take them to the sick bay in the tower. When I got there, the computer said, "DC treatment unnecessary. DC's are for training purposes only." The people evaporated.
"Oh, right, duh!" I slapped my forehead and laughed.
I was back in the park again.
Suddenly Juggernaut ran out of nowhere, and tackled Doomsday to the ground, then punched him in the face, cracking all his weird face bones.
Then, Juggernaut stood up, and took off his helmet. "I'm a good guy now."
"What?" I said.
"Yeah. Xavier healed my crazy brain." His face looked strange. It disturbed me. "What a weird crossover!" I thought.

Fragment
The Scarlet Witch had created some type of tiny black hole in front of Doomsday's face, and it was slowly stretching toward the black hole. He was resisting it with all his might. Batman had plunked a grappling hook into Doomsday's head, and was swinging around him, binding him with cable. Psylock appeared on top of Doomsday's head, and plunged a psi-dagger into his left eye. He roared with fury, but all his energy was focused on resisting the black hole.
I formed a giant green Super Mario hammer with my ring. "Stand back everyone!" I said, as I got a good grip on my hammer, and BAM smacked Doomsday toward the black hole. He got sucked in, wailing and cursing as he went, and it winked out of sight. We put our hands on our hips and started laughing, like how they always do at the end of Saturday morning cartoons.
My astral pet, Jo, ran up to me, in the form of a big black lab. "And don't you come back," he barked. "This is just like a cartoon!" I thought, and I laughed even harder.

Tap-Tap-Tapping on my Chamber Door
FragmentI had a creepy non-lucid. I felt a tapping on the crown of my head. I was in a dark room with a ceiling fan. I thought it might be the the little wooden thing at the end of the pullstring. I looked up at the fan. It was too far away for that to happen. "What the fuck is that?" I thought. "Oh, this is a dream. It must be happening in real life."
FA
I was lying on a white leather couch. There was a magazine near my head. "This must be what was bothering my head," I thought, and I threw the magazine on the floor. "Wait that doesn't make sense! How does a magazine tap your head." The tapping was getting stronger. It felt like someone's finger. It was making me angry, and it also freaked me out, because there was nothing there.
"Dammit. Am I still dreaming? Wake up!"
I woke up and I still felt the tapping on the crown of my head for a second. "Damn dream demons, get the fuck off me," I thought, and rolled over and went back to sleep.

The Energy of All Things
Fragment
I was in the meditation room of my living house. I was looking in the mirror at my third eye. I stood up and walked around. I could see everything glowing, and what it appeared to be previously was a faint overlay image. I felt extremely disoriented. I walked around, and left my house. Everything still looked like that.
"Ack! What is this?" I grabbed my head.
"What you are seeing," said a voice which I recognized as Zaphor, "is the energy of all things. The archetype images created by your own mind is now gone, and you are seeing the truth beneath." I walked around looking at the energy. It was fascinating, confusing, and completely disorienting. I felt like I had some kind of mental vertigo. "I don't know if I want to see everything like this!" I said to no one. "I feel so confused!"

Wakewalking Experiment (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM Wakewalking

This was not a dream, but a meditation. I was at a concert, and I began meditating while dancing with my eyes closed. I wondered if I could wakewalk into the dreamworld. I then meditated with my eyes open. I then meditated while walking with my eyes open. Here are the results.

Wakewalking in 15 different dimensions
I was on the moon, spinning like a cartoon minotaur. The three clowns were there again. I spun into them like a top, and obliterated them. Some silly dream demons tried to attack me, but I punched them from fifteen different dimensions. I was narrating to Raven everything I was doing. I kept repeating myself, because I wanted to make sure she could hear me if it was possible.
"Raven, I am meditating. I am not asleep. I am awake, Raven, and I am wakewalking in dreams. Can you hear me, Raven? I am awake! I am awake! I am awake!"
She said, "that's ridiculous... well, you do kind of look like a ghost."
"Well, that's because I'm in fifteen different dimensions. Dammit! I can't hold the dream." My dream body kept vibrating. I couldn't focus, so I decided to run on the moon.
I made laps at superspeed around the moon. "I am dreaming, but I am awake! I am wakewalking in dreams!" I shouted.

You are All Dreaming!
I teleported into the tower. Speakers appeared on the Telsa coils. I picked up a CB type microphone. "Alert! Alert! Alert! All dreamers! This is a dream! Warning! You are dreaming! All dreamers! All people on the moon, you are dreaming!"
A bunch of dreamers on the moon became lucid and came to inside the biodome. I got on a stage in front of the tower, and played a dream guitar as Pan. I thought it was hilarious. All the people were dancing and laughing.

missing time

I kept lapping the moon, trying to stabilize the meditation. Suddenly, we were in my spaceship. I grabbed liquid metal controls that grew out of the chair in front of me, two sticks. "Let's have a Star Wars andventure!" I said.

Star Wars Adventure
Suddenly we were on hoverbikes in a forest on the Ewok planet. Droids were riding the other hoverbikes. An Ewok jumped on my back, and I jumped on a hoverbike. There was a mix of clones and droids attacking us. A clone pulled up next to me, and the Ewok stabbed him in his calf with a spear. The clone grabbed at his leg, and lost control of the hoverbike, crashing into a tree.

A droid pulled up next to me, and shot a laser at me. I jumped, flipping backwards to avoid it, and off the bike. I force jumped off the ground without touching it, and the bike was wobbling beneath me. I stabilized it with the force, and landed back on it. The droid was so amazed, it slammed into a tree.

missing time

I was in an Ewok village. An Ewok baby picked up my lightsaber and turned it on. The parents gots frightened. I used the force, and pulled it out of his hand. The baby looked at me. I turned the lightsaber off. I set the lightsaber down on a table in front of me. The baby pulled it off the table into his hand with the force.

His parents looked up at me for some kind of comfort. "Your baby is destined to be a Jedi Knight, I told them. His powers are already too great for you two to handle. He is going to be a great Jedi, and already, this young child needs training. I must take him back to the Academy. He will be well cared for. He is important to the Rebel Alliance."

Then I walked away. I heard the Ewok mother cry. I turned around. She kissed her baby, and gave him to the father. The father came to me, and he gave me their son with a smile. I immediately got in my spaceship and headed to the Jedi Academy. I watched the young Ewok Jedi grow into an amazing Jedi Knight. He was able to use his force powers to make him grow bigger, to the size of a man. He had the same amount of hair, so it made it sparse and he looked more humanlike.
He married a woman from a race that has spots like a giraffe. There was a scandal. Some people cried, "Bestiality!" while others cried, "Racist!" He was a shapeshifter. Sometimes he transformed into a large man with a dog's head at will.

missing time
We were fighting droids on a spaceship. Raven was a Twi'lek slowly spinning a red lightsaber horizontally at the enemies. She was singing as she did it. The lighstaber kept changing speeds and heights, disorienting the droids, and slicing them in half.
Selene had an orange lightsaber. She was human with dark skin, and black hair made up in small braids. She looked like an Egyptian. She would lift it up in the air, then point it at the droids, force-thrusting it at them. I had a green quarterstaff lightsaber that I was taking apart in the middle, and using them like two short swords, them putting them back together. I was making both the lightsabers force-fight in front of me with my hands.
Spike was an Irdonian Zabrak (like Darth Maul) wielding lightgloves. There were gloves of red energy spikes. He ran force leaping, at a speed superhuman, and landing on the droid, and plunging his light gloves into the droids.
I grabbed my lightsabers, and force-lunged into droids at superspeed. Soon, the other four did also. There were colored streaks everywhere.
missing time
We were in a huge collosseum. It was full of droids. Some had jetpacks. We were all kinetically manipulating our lightsabers. Spike was leaping back and forth between the droids, plunging his light spiked red gloves into them. Some he would bite, then spit parts out. I thought that was pretty funny. We were using the force to push our enemies into our lightsabers.
We destroyed all the droids. I asked Spike, "How about a little one-on-one." He smiled at me deviously, and nodded. He produced a red double-bladed lightsaber. We force-threw them at the other person. The lightsabers clashed in front of us, then the lightsabers began fighting each other in the air. I used the force to lunge at him, then he threw me back with the force. The lightsabers flew around like boomerangs, as we kept attacking each other with force pushes. We leaped and spun all over the place. I returned my lightsaber to my hands, and he did the same. There was an opening in his defense, and I burned him across his stomach. "Oh, shit, sorry, didn't mean to go that far."
"Good thing this is a dream," he smiled revealing tiny pointed teeth, and his flesh and garments healed up instantly.
missing time
We were fighting outdoors in a desert. I wondered if I could summon lightning. The droids approached. I raised my hand, then floated fifteen feet above the ground. A lightning bolt came down from the sky, and flowed over my skin, and on to about six or seven droids, but it did not destroy them, but instead created a lightning cage around them. I then spun in a circle with lighting chains on lightning cages holding droids. The droids in the cages began firing randomly. I spun at a swarm of enemy droids, and massacred them.
Raven was doing some strange thing with thunderclaps, and cool shockwaves. Selene figured out force fire in that battle, and was shooting missiles of flame at the enemy. Spike was running so fast, now with two short yellow lightsabers, he was a yellow blur.

The Gate to Hollow Earth
I told Raven that I wanted to go to the Sphinx. I told her I wanted to solve the riddle of the Sphinx to gain access to the Hollow Earth. She said that sounded like fun. She began making a portal. A strange wind blew out of her rip in the fabric of space and time. She said she wasn't able to go through it, because of some strange galactic solar wind blowing through. I created a purple vortex with lightning coming out of it, and we all went through. I felt myself go through a wormhole. "We're going through a wormhole, Raven, through a wormhole, and I am wakewalking!!!"
We went through the wormhole, and stood before the sphinx. It spoke to me telepathically in a neutral powerful woman's voice, "If one and one make three, what does three make?"
"What does... hey, this doesn't make any sense!" I said. The sphinx just sat there, and said nothing. I pondered this for a couple minutes.
"Aha! I have it! If one and one make three, three makes none! None! The answer is none!"
"You have answered correctly, dream warrior," said the Sphinx, "you may now enter Hollow Earth."
The Sphinx opened its mouth impossibly huge, and I felt us going throughh a wormhole again. I was Pan for some reason. We were walking down and infinite flight of stairs. "I am wakewalking, Raven!"
"Ok, stop repeating yourself. I get it!" she said. "When will these infinte stairs end?" she complained.
"When we get there!" I laughed.
"Duh? Why don't we just teleport?" she said. "The sphinx already said we have access, so let's just do it!"
"Ok, cool!" I said.

Suddenly we were in the land of Hollow Earth. There is a black sun in the center, and you can stare at it. Magnetism is stronger than gravity. People leap, and practically fly there floating on the waves of the magnetosphere.
Everything was bright pastels and beautiful. The people there were peaceful. A voice told me that is usually where we go when we die. We have a life there, then we reincarnate, and have a life on the Outer Crust of the earth. We cycle back and forth, every other lifetime.
All the animals were gliding on these magnetic waves like flying squirrels. It was amazing. There are birds with extremely long tails. It reminded me of the dream warrior planet.

Lone Journeys (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

'Aumakua
I tumbled through a portal on the moon. An giant squid, a great pig-man, and a huge bird tumbled through after me. My friends were about to attack. I told them, "No, these are my 'aumakua, my totems. For some reason I didn't recognize it before. They are part of me, in a sense, manifestations of my rage. Do not fight them. I need to merge with them."

I absorbed he'e, the great squid, the great octopus, Kanaloa, the god of the sea. I absorbed Pueo, the owl, the one who sees. I absorbed pua'a, Kamapua'a, the boar-man demigod. I felt their power in me.

Glowing blue-white transparent tentacles came out of me, and I grew huge, morphing into a great red minotaur. My eyes glowed yellow, and steam rose from my skin.

"AAh! I feel their power!" I said with a voice like thunder, then I was my crystal energy self, glowing green on the moon.

"So Raven, do you-" but I was interrupted by her fainting in Spike's arms. Selene, Spike and I teleported into the sick bay at the Tower with Raven Knight. A medical droid appeared and a gurney. Spike laid her down on the gurney. The Tower said, "Diagnosis: _______ "

Return to the Glen of Healing
"We need to go to the Glen of Healing, for her," I said. We were instantly in a beautiful forest glen in a northern clime. The blue-green grass lifted Raven's body off of the forest floor. She was still unconscious. Yellow energy moved toward her, and flowed into her. I knew my healing skill was too weak to help her at this point. Spike, Selene and I silently watched the scene.
The frost giant appeared bending trees apart. He benignly said, "She is resting. She'll be safe here with me." I felt like crying.
I stroked her hair, and kissed her forehead. "Sleep well, dream warrior," I whispered, and then I was back on the moon, alone.

Lessons from the Great god Pan
"Well, now where do you want to go?" said a voice that I thought was Q.
"I don't know. I feel lost."
"You are not lost," he laughed. "You are simply alone. Make a decision."
"I want to see the Dream Warrior Master again."

Instantly I was in the same dome where we had our ceremony the first time we went to the Dream Warrior planet. I was in a round room, dimly lit by torches. There was a semicircle of chairs with people of varying unknown races sitting in them. Directly in front of me, beyond a scrying pan of water, was the man I formerly perceived as the Devil.
I looked at him. He was wearing a large brown robe with a hood. He threw his hood back, and stared at me, with bright yellow pupils. "Who are you?" I asked. He morphed into Yoda, Morpheus, Merlin, and Hades.
"I am all these things, and never who you want me to be. I am Pan, the demigod, I am Noah, I am Molech, I am Gilgamesh, I am the god under the mountain. I live forever whether you believe in me or not. I exist despite disbelief. I am more real than the reality you perceive. You live in a world of fools. You have no idea how foolish you still are, Dream Warrior." At the words, Dream Warrior, he laughed heartily. He sounded amused.
"You have much to learn, Dream Warrior. You have just only begun a great journey. Now, tell me what you have learned so far."
"Humility-"
"Humility? Pah! If you were truly humble, you would have never said that. But, go on."
I felt sheepish. I bowed my head. "I have learned things about myself. Rage is weakness."
"Good," he said.
"And I have a fear of being alone."
"Even now, the fear consumes you. You have learned nothing." He sounded angry. "Why are you afraid?" he demanded.
"Because I... Because I want to believe. I want to believe that shared dreaming is real. I have doubt. I want to believe I am real."
I looked at my hands. They looked very real. I looked up at the Dream Warrior Master. I perceived him as as demon with yellow eyes wearing a brown robe again.
"I want to believe all this is real. I want to believe you are real."
"Real? Real?" He spat. "You have had enough experiences here on the dream plane to know that this is all real. You are afraid to be alone, like a little child. You're pathetic. Go away. You have more lessons to learn, child."

Banging on the Biosphere
I was suddenly back on the moon. There were a bunch of giant "monsters" banging on the outside of the Biosphere. They wanted in. All of them looked like my 'aumakua archetypes. My first instinct was to attack them. Then, I realized how foolish that was. I mentally granted all of them access beyond the great black wall surrounding the tower.

The inside of the tower was full of vegetation. The bird-monsters transformed into all kinds of creatures of the air, and the pig-monsters transformed into creatures that walk on the earth, and the squid-monsters transformed into creatures that swim.

The Biosphere was now full of plants and animals. I thought of how The Cusp and Donvanelle on Dream Views were teaching me that dream combat was not really about combat. I laughed at myself. I wondered how Raven was doing.

In the Cave of the Frost Giant
I was instantly in the cave of the Frost Giant. I saw a golden glow coming from the back of the cave. Little Joseph was there. He looked like green crystal energy. The frost giant was in the rear of the cave with Joseph, and I saw the source of the glow. Raven was sleeping, a slightly pained expression on her face. Golden light was pouring out of her.

I pulled out my didjeridoo, to try to aid in healing. I blew it, and the whole world twisted for a second. It was very disorienting. I stopped. "Whoah! Whoah there!" laughed the Frost Giant. "You are bending reality!"
"Oh!" I felt at once confused, pleasantly surprised, and embarrassed.
"Do not be concerned," said the Frost Giant. "She is only resting."
"But, how will I know if any of this is real?" I asked. He looked at me with large gentle eyes.
"Child, everything is real. Quiet your mind. Look, Joseph has something he wants to show you."
Joseph was standing at the edge of the cave. He had leather gloves on both hands. He lifted his hands up, and two great falcons alighted on his gloves. Then, he launched them into the air.
Joseph smiled at me, then changed into a great falcon. I looked at his great eye. My vision went kaleidoscopic, and spun. It was at once fascinating and disorienting. Suddenly my vision returned to normal, and so did the boy.
"Pretty cool, huh?" he said.
"Wow! Yes. That was amazing."
"Thanks!" he smiled at me, laughing lightheartedly.
"Well, I can tell you are waking up," he said. "You better get up and write everything down before you forget!"
"Thanks, I will!"

Pumpkin Frogs (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

As I feel asleep, I saw four shapes on my eyelids, that looked perfect for forming the tree I wanted to see.

I was in the Void. All around me was white, but for some reason, I could feel the whiteness. It must be the mist. Suddenly, I was beneath a great black tree towering above me. It felt ancient and wise. I wanted to leave something there to be remembered by. Carve my name? no. Spraypaint my name? no. Leave my sword? no.

Aha! Grow a pumpkin. I grew a large pumpkin, to the size of a large dog, about a great dane's size. I made it have a picture of the crescent moon on it.

I couldn't resist. I turned it into a frog. It was a great pumpkin-frog. The pumkin frog began merrily hopping about. I sat on it, holding on to the stem, and laughed at the crazy ride. I got off of its back.

There were many pumpkin frogs hopping about, about the size of rabbits. I hoped they would stay there for other people to see.

Lightning Swords (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Fragment
I was riding through the forest with Spike, Selene, and Raven on horses. We were all in white. Raven was on Spike's horse. She was leaning on him, like she was wounded, but I didn't see any blood. I had a feeling she was sick. There was a kind of dark black-purple aura about her.

Fragment
My horse and Selene's horse were gone. Raven was now draped over Spike's horse. We fought these random a-holes, spinning swords, lopping off heads.

Music began coming out of Raven in waves, altering reality. The random enemies began pointing and shouting at her. Lightning came down from the sky, and hit all the enemies around us. My sword was charged with lightning. Selene was firing white arrows from a white bow at the enemies. Her arrows were on fire.

I liked the lightning feel in my sword. The sword was vibrating and singing with delight.

The horse reared as enemies popped up in front of it. Raven almost fell off. I threw two throwing knives at two of them, and Selene shot the rest. I slapped the horse's rump, and it whinnied and took off through the forest.

In which We Visit Hollow Earth (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I told Raven Knight in a PM that I wanted to ask the riddle of the Sphinx and gain access to Hollow Earth.

As I fell asleep, I focused on the moon. I felt no resistance between the Moon and I. Good. "Tooth" no longer existed. There was only the boy Joseph. I tumbled out of a purple vortex portal on to the Moon, and my three 'aumakua tumbled out after me. One, two, three, he'e, pueo, pua'a. As they fell on me, I absorbed them into myself. I inhaled their power.
"Hey, Nomad," Raven greeted me casually. I saw Spike and Selene in the distance.
"So, where do you to go?" she asked with a wry smile, as she began creating a portal.
"You know where. I want to see the King of Hollow Earth!"
She created the portal, and the four of us went through.

We were standing in front of the Egyptian Sphinx. I heard it in my head, asking the question in the myth. "Man, mankind!" I said. I was surprised it asked the riddle that I already knew the answer to.

The sphinx opened its mouth until its jaw was on the ground. There were stairs going down. We walked in. As I pondered the riddle, I realized the real riddle is figuring out how to truly answer the question.

Suddenly, we were in Hollow Earth. The light was bright. Everything was beautiful. In the sky was a great black sun, that you could stare right at. The plants and lovely translucent shimmery pastels reminded me of the Dream Warrior planet. We walked down a path, taking in all the beauty.

"I have to see the King of Hollow Earth!" I said.

Instantly, I was inside the Black Sun. I was alone with the King of Hollow Earth. He looked exactly like stone god Hades I saw in my previous dream. He stood up from his throne, and looked at me. We began walking. All around me looked like the same Hades I had seen before, after I went into the ziggurat, and passed Cerberus. Everything was dark and grey.

Then, everything changed. I saw the beautiful colorful landscape I had seen before with the same shape of the underworld. I looked at the King of Hollow earth. He now appeared as a strong ancient man, with a short thick white beard, and a golden crown on his head instead of stone. His eyes were blue and I felt he was staring into my very soul.

Then, everything changed back, and the two scenes began strobing. It was very disorienting. What is going on? I asked the King. "You are seeing both worlds, at the same time, child."

"Are they both the same? I don't understand. What is the difference?"

"Perception. People that feel they must be punished for their deeds when they walked upon the crust, will only see darkness and fire. Those who loved greatly, and love still, will perceive only beauty and life."

"Who are you? Are you Pan? Are you the Dream Warrior Master?"

"No," he said. "That man is my brother."

"So, all these people, are they real? What I mean is, is this world a physical place? Are we in the same dimension as the physical world on the Crust."

He looked at me directly, and simply said, "Yes."

"What is going to happen in 2012?" I asked anxiously.

"Do not fear a number," he said answering my anxiety. Then he answered my question directly: We are coming.

"Thank you, O King," I said as I knelt to bow.

"Stand up, human Dream Warrior!" he commanded. "I am no King. I am a man just like you. Do not bow to me. The only difference between you and I is my immortality resides here eternally."

I was suddenly back on the Moon, I looked around for the others, but the dream faded, and I awoke.
