In Which I Meet Kronos, the god of time (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I thought it would be "fun" to meet Kronos, and ask him how to stop time.

I was on the Moon, in the Biodome. My astral pet, Jo, the Mollosian, ran up to me, and leaned on me heavily the way big dogs do. I looked around. Why did I feel I needed to go to the Moon before I met the god of Time? where was I supposed to go?

As if in answer to my thoughts, a man appeared, hovering before me. He was a bald pale man, wearing a long black and blue robe. He looked like Mr. Gone from The Maxx.

"You called?" he asked grimly, then raised his hands two his sides, his palms facing me. BV-V-V-V-V-V!

We were in outer space. I felt my body turn inside out, and he was spinning me in two great circles, no a lemniscate. It was absolutely terrifying. My dream body wanted to feel pain, but I kept reminding myself that it was a dream. If I had a mouth, it would have been opened in a silent scream of near madness.
I saw circles of Kronos' own dream body go in and out of him, like Venom when he gets hit with a sonic blast, except it was deliberate and precise.

"Why have you called me?" he demanded in a voice like the roaring of a thousand lions.

"Because, I want to learn how to stop time." I felt like a spoiled brat asking for more candy.

"You think you can stop ME?" he roared again, and spun me faster. Then, he stretched the lemniscate he made my dream body into even greater. I felt like my soul was being ripped apart then smashed back together. I began screaming in pure terror.

"You fool! You cannot stop TIME! TIME IS INFINITE!" he roared in fury like an army of demons hell-bent on revenge. "All you can change is your perception of Time, idiot!"

Then, he slowed the lemniscate-me, and I started to faintly glow with a white light. "You pathetic little fool. Don't you understand that you are part of everything and nothing at the same time? Don't you see all is moving never stopping at the same time? Everything is expanding and contracting at the same time. You can stop nothing! What makes you think you can stop Time?"

"Can I at least slow time?" I asked weakly. My persistence apparently amused him. He threw back his head and laughed the laugh of a thousand gods that is still ringing in my ears.

I was back on the Moon, in the Biodome, alone.

I felt naseous. I walked stumbled around like a drunken sailor, and my dream body shifted and morphed uncontrollably. My arms grew to giant size, like two blades of flesh. I planted my blade-arms in the ground for stability. I felt like Clayface. This is a cool effect, at least. What am I thinking? I could always do this.

I picked up a moon rock and held it close to my navel to ground myself. I stood up straight and closed my eyes. I grew roots down into the earth, and turned into a tree.

I am just going to be a tree and stand here for awhile. That was pure madness. I wonder how long I can stay here, and dream of myself as a tree? I wonder if Raven will recognize me as a tree here like this.

The dream faded.

Commentary: This was absolutely the most terrifying dream of my life. It wasn't fun. In waking life, still, I am reeling. I am consistently humbled.

That sounds creepy. If you have read the Percy Jackson series or read a lot about Greek Mythology then you automatically think Kronos is a bad person. Next time, i you want to do it again, then try thinking of Kronos as a nice person. If you cannot do that maybe summon Zeus AND Kronos so if Kronos makes you spin Zeus could stop Kronos.

My spirit guide Q says it takes a lot of power to stop or slow time. What is easier to do is change your own speed with relation to time. Speed yourself up enough and it will seem like time has slowed or even stopped. I guess that is what Kronos was saying, but he was being quite a jerk about it!

Not really. I just have an ego, so the gods respond in kind. It's just a lesson in humility. Just like the Dream Warrior Master called me a fool, but he was a lot nicer to you, because you are more humble than I am.

I never thought of Kronos as a bad person. How I think of entities separate from myself alters how I perceive them, but it doesn't change their actions or attitude toward me. I cannot summon gods. I can ask for their aid. I can summon animals and weapons, but not actual gods.

I sense that you believe gods are manifestations of my mind. I believe they are separate entities.

Damn IB's (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

As I fell asleep, I focused on the moon.

I was in the Biodome. The dream was very unstable, but it was more like I was unstable. I didn't feel like the dream could fade, but just that everything was shifting and smearing. What the hell? When did we get sheep bouncing around in the Biodome? Was that Little Bo Peep?

Sucked into Brightness
I vaguely heard Raven say, "Nomad, are you okay?" I felt a portal open behind me. I ignored it. It didn't matter, I got sucked into it.

I was staring at a bright light, like the sun. Was I in The Void? No, I couldn't be, because there was no source of light in The Void. I felt like the Sun, or whatever it was, was speaking to me, but I couldn't understand what it was saying. It sounded like an earthquake or thunder rumbling. As it spoke, it pulsed. "Sojourner, do you seek the truth?" I felt it ask. I was too confused to reply. The brightness of the light was overwhelming. The light made me feel good, and it also frightened me. Where the hell was I? Was this the sun god? What was going on? I looked around. There were bright balls of light hopping about. Were these the sheep-things I was seeing?

Four balls of light the size of medium sized dogs leapt upon me, and bit me, clamping down on my four limbs. I felt tiny sharp teeth penetrating my flesh. I tried to spin them off me. It didn't work.



I tumbled through a portal, and fell into the Biodome. "Ack! What are these things?" I tried again to spin them off of me, then shake them off.

"Nomad?" said Raven, worried, with her hand on the hilt of her dagger. "No, wait, I am going to absorb these bastards."

I fell over on all fours, and I absorbed the light balls into me. I immediately felt sick. I stood up for a second, felt naseous, and vomited out a dead light ball creature. Jo, my big black dog, was running around gobbling up light balls bouncing around in the Biodome. How did these little bastards get past our Tower defenses?

"Ugh, I feel sick," I told Raven. I tried to stumble over to the little grassy area that reminded me of the Glen of Healing, but I couldn't make it. I couldn't see straight. "You need to wake up. Now!" I heard someone say.

"No, this is only a dream! I am going to fight these little bastards."

I felt someone pick me up. I was in the Glen of Healing. I felt like I was going crazy. The Frost Giant appeared. I tried to speak to him, but I couldn't think straight. I forced myself to stand. He said something about hiding myself within myself. I felt a portal open up behind me.

Sucked into Darkness
Suddenly I was in pure darkness. I felt safe. The darkness was inviting and peaceful. I inhaled deeply, slowing my breath. CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP



CHOMP! No! What the hell are these things? Black Isz!

I turned into The Maxx.



I roared at the creatures, and ripped them off my limbs with my bare hands, stomping them into the unseen ground, and ripping them apart with my great claws. More attacked me.



I ran through the darkness, fighting by feel, then suddenly I had an idea. I changed into a woman. The Isz stopped biting me.

Another Girl in the Biodome
Damn IB's! I focused on the moon in my mind, not wanting create a portal, and I was able to teleport back to the Biodome. I was a girl still, dressed like Raven and Selene. "Uh... Nomad?" said Raven. I stumbled over to a little koi fish pond. The koi were cute, all different colors, swimming around in funny lemniscates. I looked at my reflection. I was a pretty girl with shoulder length wavy brown hair. I looked like my sister. This is weird. I had to look away.

Raven walked close to me. She looked at me closely, trying figure out if I really was Nomad, and what was wrong with me. I am sure she was also wondering why I changed into a woman. She was standing so close staring at me, I thought she wanted to kiss me for a second. "Uh... Raven, are you bi, or something?"

"What are you talking about? Nomad is that you? What happened? Where did you go?"

"I had to hide from those goddamn IB's!" I whispered in her ear.

"What? IB's? What are you talking about? You're not making any sense."

"I just..." I fell, leaning on her. I felt someone carry me, and set me down somewhere. I think it was the grassy area like the Glen of Healing. I had my eyes closed. I was exhausted, I just wanted to go to sleep.

Dream Within a Dream
I don't remember where this began, but I was fully lucid. This was very vivid, and it felt more like a DILD were the clarity is much stronger, but I always have less control. My last dream-within-a-dream felt like this.

I was outside under a blue sky, standing on green treeless rolling hills.I saw some military guys in full dress performing a funeral ceremony. I ignored them, this being a dream, and walked down a path.

I walked past The Seven Dwarfs. They were all sad, staring at the ground. Is this the funeral of Snow White? Weird.

I walked into a one story building and down a hall. Everything was blank in there, no pictures, no plants, no water coolers. I turned two corners. My grandfather, dressed to go hunting in the winter, walked past me quickly, almost running. I followed him. In front of us was a hole in the wall in the shape of a square on the floor just big enough to crawl through. He crawled through it. I tried to follow, but it shrank and disappeared.

I tried to teleport to the other side, but I couldn't. I tried playing my didjeridoo to create a portal, but I couldn't summon it. Dammit! I did Tuvan throat singing to create a portal. It was loud, and I could feel my head vibrating. I wondered if I was singing in my physical body. That didn't work either.

I noticed the wall on my left was not a wall at all, but a huge thick light grey comforter hanging from the ceiling. I lifted up the bottom. More comforter. I crawled underneath. I was completely under this huge thick blanket. I could see sunlight shining through it. I kept crawling. I started to get hot. I couldn't find the way out. I felt claustrophobic.

I wondered if I was under my blanket in waking life suffocating. I panicked, and woke myself up.

I woke up, and noticed I was covered by a knit throw that my sister-in-law made, the kind with the holes in it. Afghan, I think it's called. I felt foolish. I did a RC, just to make sure, and went back to back to sleep.

Astral Projection Experiments
I woke up in my room. My bed was a queen size bed, and I had a huge blanket on it that was a map of the surface of the portion of the Moon, just like always. It had tacks in the map, highlight points of interest, just like- wait a minute. I didn't have a map of the moon on my bed. I must be dreaming. I did a nose pinch RC. I could breathe. I must be dreaming. What should I do? Go back to the Moon? Hell no! No more of that madness!

I sat on the edge of my bed. I decided to simply walk around slowly and explore, just like an AP. I stood up, and walked through my closed bedroom door, down the hallway, and outside. I walked between the cars in the parking lot. Everything looked so real and normal. This must be an AP. I saw a neighbor with the light on on the second story. I wonder if there's a half naked chick in there? I was tempted to float up and look, but I stopped myself. If this is real, then that would be wrong. I can never do it anyway, it always ends the dream or AP, or whatever this is, so, fuck that. What should I do? Hmm... I know! I'll walk through that VW Van right there!

I walked to the van, and tried to walk through, but it was like when your video game character hits and invisible wall, and you kind of bounce around. I gave up after 5 or 6 tries. I walked to the sidewalk. I floated up to about 20 feet very slowly. Ah. Flying in dreams never gets boring.

Someone turning the corner in a blue and white boxy car looked up and saw me. He lost control for a second, then shook his head, looked at the road and kept driving.

I don't want to cause any accidents! I didn't know anyone could see me!

I floated gently back down, and landed on the sidewalk. I wondered if I could run super fast, like the Flash. I began running. I focused on what it would feel like to run at super speed. I picked up speed, until I was at a full sprint, then rounded the corner, going uphill. I couldn't go any faster. I was a little disappointed. This must be an AP. This would never happen in a dream. Weird. I love this crazy floaty feeling! It feels so amazing! I need to learn how to do this more. Ugh! I am so glad to be away from that madness on The Moon.

Trial by Fire and Darkness (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I felt an overwhelming desire to sleep come upon me. the instant I lied down, I was in SP.

I began checking that I was armed to the teeth before I went anywhere. I stood up, and hovered above my bed. I transformed into a minotaur. Energy boots, check, energy belt, check, energy gloves, check, winged helmet, bat wings, silver moon sword, budgie sword, check check check check. I wielded my impossibly huge sky blue budgie sword and swung it around. I thought of my golden and blue dragon allies, but for some reason, I didn't feel I could take them where I was going.
I thought about how in the Bible it talks about arming yourself with spiritual armor, and there is truth in every religion. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood..."
I created a portal above my bed to the Moon, but instead found myself in the Bright Place. I was standing in place where everything was full of bright light that came from an orb above me, like the Sun. Small oblong bright white things like Isz gnawed at my feet. "...but against principalities and powers..."
Fuck this, this is a dream. I feel no pain. I transformed into The Maxx. I boosted my energy boots, and began hovering, and the things biting at my feet let go.
"Ah," said the bright orb, "you found a use for that ability, child."
"Who are you? and why have you brought me here?" I demanded.
"You said you wanted to learn. You said you wanted to be free, didn't you, boy?"
The orb shrunk itself down to the size of an orange and hovered in front of me. A blindfold appeared over my eyes. I felt the orb flying around, like in Star Wars. I tried to hit with my budgie sword, then switched to my moon sword, because it was small and fast. "Why can't you touch me, boy? I am right here!"
I ripped off my blindfold and did a flying lunge attack, destroying it.
"Ah, you are learning. Now..."
I was in a bright white cube. The walls were slowly closing in on me. My claustrophobia kicked in, and my fear began to rise. I slammed into the wall in front of me, and I heard a hollow laughter. BAM!
I boosted straight up, sword leading me, spinning, turning on my force field along the way. KRASH! I broke through to find myself in another white cube, getting smaller as it moved toward me. I began to panic. I felt like screaming. Fuck this shit. I am not going to wake up. I feel no fear. This is a dream.
I let the walls get closer and closer. I was in a sphere, and it forced me into a fetal position. I took a deep breath and relaxed. I refused to freak out.
"Do you want to leave, child? Do you want out?"
"Do whatever you want. I refuse to be afraid."
I expected a response, but instead, nothing. I stayed in there in that tiny sphere, and I slowed my heart rate and breath. This this is teaching me to conquer my claustrophobia.

Suddenly I was in the in the Outer Darkness. I felt things oozing and writhing under my feet. "...in dark places..." I boosted my energy boots as before and hovered.
"Are you afraid to be alone child? No one is here to help you now."

"NO!" I felt my fear rise. I wished for my friends to help me. I refuse to fear.

The things were making munching noises. It sounded disgusting. I turned on my energy belt, and a pale blue transparent sphere formed a force field around me. I charged up my energy gloves, and they glowed faintly golden in the darkness.
I made light come out of my eyes.
I was surrounded on all six sides by angry teeth. Black Isz. I changed my body into white hot light, and I glowed like molten steel. The creatures moved toward me, but couldn't penetrate my force field. I changed my energy gloves into claws like the Maxx, and carved a bloody path East. KRRSH! stomping on them as I went with giant feet BOOM BOOM BOOM!
I exploded my light body, and the entire landscape lit up. BOOOM!ssssshshsh.... then recomposed myself. I was the big purple guy again. I was in the Outback of The Maxx.
I saw The Jungle Queen standing on a rock outcropping in the distance surrounded by a sea of white Isz.



She seemed disoriented and confused. Julie? Julie Winters?
The Isz grabbed at me from the ground, I carved my way to her, I focused on her, and nothing else. I felt the creature sapping my strength as my fury rose to match their attack.


SLICE! STOMP! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! I pounded them into the ground as I ran. My fury could only replace my lost energy for so long.
As I approached the Jungle Queen, I leapt toward her, flying through air, and I grabbed her around the waist, and created a portal in front of me. Spinning, we went through....

We were in the Biodome, on the moon, in the soft grassy place like the Glen of Healing. Julie Winters, Jungle Queen looked up at me, in a daze.


"Maxx? I..." I set her down in the grass. I knew who she was now. She turned into Selene, and I turned back into Nomad. "Nomad? Uh..." she closed her eyes. "He said he was going to teach me things... I..."
"Sh," I whispered. "Rest." I kissed her forehead, and she lied down and went to sleep.
Zaphor appeared, a red gargoyle, floating on a cloud, sitting in lotus. Before I spoke, he said, "You asked to learn, child. You asked to battle your greatest fears. You have done well. Now rest."
I collapsed on the ground next to Selene, in exhaustion, and closed my eyes. I felt golden energy flowing into us, and I fell asleep.

Jedi Adventures (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I decided instead of going through a portal to the moon, I'd ride my spaceship. I got in my vehicle of liquid silver, sat down in the pilot's seat, and placed my hands on the smooth round silver. Light glowed from under the metal. A screen appeared in front of me, huge, looking like a window.
I flew through space, doing barrel rolls, and making it go like a rollercoaster. It was exhililarating. The moon became bigger and bigger. I found the Tower, and landed gently outside of the Biodome, and walked in.
"Impressive," Raven laughed. Selene clapped her hands and laughed also. Basara was there, smiling benignly. Selene ran to me, embraced me, and kissed my cheek.

"So, where do you want to go tonight?" Raven asked me.
"I think you know what I'm thinking," I smiled. "Yeah!" she laughed, and teleported away with Basara.

Selene and I teleported into my silver liquid ship, Future's Hope. I was in the pilot's seat, and a console of liquid metal grew up from the deck in front of me. I pressed the proper lights for take-off, and opened up comms between Raven's ship (which looks like a cross between an F-16 and a bird of prey) and mine. Her face appeared on the screen. I saw her looking at buttons, saying, "cloaking, check, force field, check," and her computer was saying, "weapons online."
Raven looked at me in the screen. "Hello Nomad, are you good to go?"
"Let's rock and roll, Raven!" I grinned. We floated vertically off the Moon, then took off into space. We laughed like giddily like kids driving go-carts.

We tumbled out of the sky, and landed in a great desert. There was no time to wonder where the ships were.

Two landspeeders whizzed toward us. They were being pursued by a giant beast. They slowed down and shouted, "Hurry, get on, NOW!" We listened. Basara and Raven got on one vehicle, and Selene and I got on the other.

A huge animal, the size of a whale was running right at us, roaring in anger. We were all Jedi, I think. Basara had no weapon. Raven and Selene were both Twi'leks, and I was some type of cat like person, with a brown furry face and claws. Raven's skin was bluish, and Selene's was sandy colored. Basara looked the same. He was wearing all white, and the rest of us were wearing brown.

The animal had grey fur, and a face with the large mouth of a carnivore, tusks like a boar, large paws like a cat, and a small nose and eyes. The earth was shaking with its running. A rock outcropping about 120 feet high, rose in the distance.
"There!" We drove up to the top of the rock outcropping. The landspeeders couldn't effectively hover over the rocks and scraped along the way to the top, sparking.

The drivers of the landspeeders, and jumped off. The beast bore down on us. "What are you going to do, Jedi? Help us!"

As the creature approached, Raven and Basara began singing, and the beast slowed, leaned against the rock outcropping and fell asleep. There were babies on its back, and one of them fell off. It was wounded. "Aw," said Raven, "who would've done this?" It had a large gash on its side. It was too weak to resist as Raven approached it. She and Basara started singing again, and healed it.

The baby stood up, and crawled back on to its mom's back. Suddenly, about 20 Irdonian Zabrak Siths appeared around us in a circle on the desert below, grinning menacingly wielding double-bladed lightsabers. I pressed the button on my green lightsaber, and readied my mind.

We leapt down from the rock and engaged them in battle. Basara levitated over the animals, singing. He was protecting them somehow.

The fighting was so fierce that I couldn't tell what the others were doing. These Sith were out for blood. I was forced to kill one. I took control of his lightsaber, and used The Force to make it spin around in random patterns around me, as I wielded my lightsaber. I was forced to kill another one, then a third. Now, I had three double-bladed lightsabers all flipping out around me.

Two Sith sent Force shockwaves at me through the ground. I lost my balance for a second, then altered the energy and spun the sand into vortexes, creating tornadoes of sand. I made the the tornadoes move toward the Sith, but trying to cause them pain in with biting sand. They got sucked up into the tornadoes, but were able to maintain standing positions. Raven shot fire into the tornadoes, and the fire began spinning around them. Selene blasted light into their eyes, blinding them, and they lost concentration. I launched the red lightsabers into the tornadoes, and slaughtered them.

We killed all the Sith.

Something big began to rise from the sand. What was it? A Zabrak statue weilding a lightsaber about 200 feet in height rose from the and stopped, sand pouring off of it. I saw an entrance to an underground chamber between the feet. Shit! Were more Sith going to stream out of that?

A single Zabrak, wrinkled, ancient and dusty, stepped out of the darkness. "We have been waiting for you four. The prophecy will be fulfilled." I realized this man was a Jedi Master. "Come with me."

We followed him into darkness. We were in some type of catacombs. There was a corpse of a Zabrak Jedi on a stone slab. I realized he was not dead, but alive and dormant.

We walked further into a great cavern. Hundreds of Zabrak Jedis filing out of tunnels into the the cavern. There was one on a platform, that was speaking. "The first prophecy is fulfilled, my brothers! We awake from the Great Sleep! And now, we go to war! We RECLAIM THE PLANET!!!"

The Zabraks Jedi pumped their lightsabers in the air, and roared chanting, "ZSHING HAK! ZSHING HAK! ZSHING HAK!"

He pointed at us, "And these Four will aid us in battle!" They roared again and began chanting.

We were instantly in a great war, each Jedi leading a battalion of Zabrak soldiers against the enemy. We roared into battle, and the enemy now had no Sith to protect them. The four of us were riding small white disks like hoverboards. I zipped around, cutting a swath through the enemy. Basara had his hands out to the side, eyes closed, singing. He was using the Force to protect us in battle. Laser bolts bounced off Force shields. The battle was exhilirating, and sorrowful to see one race pitted against itself. The beast roared behind us, scooping up enemies destroying them.

We were before the Jedi Council. "You have done well, Jedi Knights, said Yoda. Release your ego, and calm your minds. Be one with yourself."

I knelt before him, and he pat me on the head like I was a child.

"Are you the Dream Warrior Master, Yoda?" I asked.

We were instantly back in the training dome on the Dream Warrior planet. Yoda turned into the Devil. "What do you think?" he laughed and disappeared.

A rock golem appeared, and we smashed it apart with great hammers as Basara sung a song of protection over us. The rock golem crumbled to the ground.

Nastly little buggers (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I leapt out of a portal into the Biodome. I was The Maxx. I changed into Nomad. About five or six big dogs along with Jo ran up to me, and greeted me, barking happily. I pet them, and laughed.
I saw Raven Knight and Basara in the distance. "Where is Selene?" I asked.
"She's in the sick bay of the Tower. The computer said she's free to go now," said Raven.
Selene ran to me from nowhere, and gave me a kiss on the cheek. She seemed to be a little weak or ill. "Let's go to our little healing spot," I said. "Okay," she smiled.
She lied down in the grass, and Raven and Basara began singing, and I played my didjeridoo. Little astral ticks on her got agitated and crawled off her. The dogs ran around and ate them.
"Ugh, I think I have some of those buggers on me, too," I said.
"Yeah, you do," said Raven. "Lie down."
I lied down in the grass next to Selene, and I felt a bunch of nasty little astral parasites jump off of me.
The dogs ran around excitedly gobbling them up. Selene and I stood up.
"How do you feel?" said Raven.
"Tired. Thank you so much." Selene leaned on me and nodded in agreement.
"Why don't you rest then?" said Raven. "We don't always have to have adventures. Sometimes its good to rest."
"You're right. I'm so... sleepy."
"Ok, then, good night," Raven said.

Selene and I teleported to a bedroom I created in my living house. There was a huge bed in the room with maroon satin sheets. I looked at the walls. There were plain ficus bark. I grew some pretty vines on them. "Ah, that looks better."
Selene was in bed, half asleep, already yawning. As I undressed, I wondered if I would have another dream within a dream. I crawled in bed, and curled up next to her. As I fell asleep, I thought about how real she felt.

And after a while, got to catch up! Now "head-desk"... that last part of the dream with me, whith the FA, seems so similar to one of my FAs... was it the tuesday? If so "head-desks again" Only the part where I don't show any pain is strange, other than that... would be totally my behaviour <.<

I like the Walms dream. Did he remember it?

No. Maybe a tiny part. I added that to the shared dreams DJ. He talked about having an FA, and seeing people in his room, wondering "why am I thinking in English?" He's Mexican.

Seems like you guys affected his dream a little bit.

Sorry, I don't speak Spanish! It was Tuesday, yeah. I am not sure what you mean by "head-desk." Did you read Raven Knight's version of the dream?

Task of the Year- Lighthouse of Alexandria (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was on the sea somewhere in the Mediterranean. I was like a ghost floating in the sky. The Sun was blazing. A great white tower rose from a small island. At the top of the tower was stone platform with a concave depression in it for fire, which was blackened with ash. Around the platform were two stone circles, the inside one higher than the outside one. Each circle had two posts rising up out of the stone. One one circle was a great mirror of highly polished metal, on the other was a great lens.

There were three soldiers in the tower. The soldiers were wearing light bronze armor, and wearing short swords on their hips. One had bronze and brass ornate binoculars. He was looking out to sea, shouting directions to the two other men, telling them how to angle the mirror and the lens. The two men would push against one of two handles that stuck out horizontally from each circle, and make adjustments accordingly.

I followed the gaze of the man with the binoculars. Huge enemy triremes approached. The men in the lighthouse focused the sun on the sails of the enemy ships, catching them on fire.

I would see the sail get brighter and brighter and the focused sunlight bore down on the ships, then burst into flames. I watched one ship as it happened. All the sailors in the enemy ships looked up, and ran away from the sails that were getting bright.

The captain screamed at them to man their posts. He ordered them to keep rowing. The sailors on the top deck stared at the bright light on their sail, and watched it catch fire, and fall to the deck. The captain screamed at the men to stop being amazed and jettison the burning material overboard.

I heard a roaring in the distance. I flew back to the tower, and the roaring was below me. A batallion of archers in light armor stood behind a row of foot soldiers wielding great ornate shields and short swords. The ornate metalwork on the shields led me to believe these men were the elite of the military. Every time a sail would catch on fire, the soldiers at the bottom of the tower would roar in fury and exhilaration.

There were four megaphones on swivels. There were four men shouting into the megaphones pointed at the ships, speaking simultaneously: Turn back, and go home to your wives and your children. Your captains are sending you to fiery death. We are waiting here to destroy you. Turn back. The sun god is on our side. His power and fury is against you. Throw your captains overboard, and we will not burn your ships. Persist in your approach and your ships will burn. If you survive, we have thousands of men waiting to kill you. You may even kill a few of us if you persist, but you will all die. We are fighting for our homes, therefore we fight as lions. You do not know why you are fighting, therefore your hearts grow weak.

The triremes persisted, but the captains were having a hard time keeping the men under control. All the sails had caught on fire at this point, and the invading ships slowed. One of the ships burst into flames on the port bow. The captain ordered the men to haul up seawater in buckets and put out the fire. "Keep rowing! Keep rowing!"
Some obeyed. Some dove overboard. He drew his sword and threatened to kill anyone who disobeyed. A sailor backed up, wild-eyed amongst the flames. The captain screamed at him to grab a bucket. The sailor jumped overboard as the captain thrust at him. Another sailor witnessing this, withdrew a dagger, and slit the captain's throat from behind. The crew erupted into chaos. Some sailors began fighting with each other. Some tried to put out the fire. Most jumped overboard.

The megaphones blared on: You will be destroyed by fire. Our men our defending our wives and children. We have the hearts of lions. Even now, our cavalry, infantry and archers are ready to slay all who make it to shore.

I looked toward the beach. There were lines upon lines of soldiers with large shields, less ornate than the ones at the tower with lines of archers with recurve bows behind them. The cavalry rode up to hills, and stared out at the ships grimly. The soldiers on the beach beat their swords on their shields. It sounded like thunder echoing over the sea.

Some of the triremes began rowing away. These ships had committed mutiny, and threw their captain overboard. Battles erupted between mutinous ship and ones obeying their captains, and arrows flew between them. Some of the archers were deliberately missing their country men. One of these archers was stabbed in the back with a sword by his captain. Another sailor slammed the pommel of his sword down on the captain's head, and blood poured from the wound. Enraged, tears streaming down his face, he threw his unconscious captain overboard. Everyone on that ship stopped fighting. He ordered the men to turn the ship around.

Another trireme burst into flames. Some of the sailors clothes caught fire, and the jumped overboard.

You are posessed by death and madness. Now come to us, you fools! The lions are waiting to devour you. Meet your certain death on our shores if you survive the fires of hell. We will kill you all. Come to us! We will devour your souls. Your children will have no fathers, and your wives will have no husbands. Your land will go untilled and fallow, and your families will starve. Come to us, and your families will die. We are waiting to kill you. Now come!

The soldiers on shore and at the towers began chanting a war cry that I could not understand. The sailors on the ships became consumed with panic. Another ship caught fire as it turned around, full on the portside. This was the largest fire so far. All the sailors screamed and jumped overboard. A hail of arrows landed on some of the men in the water. The others dove underneath. As they surfaced, they prayed to their gods, and begged for mercy.
I could no longer watch the grim spectacle. I was overwhelmed with the emotion of the moment.

Epic Dream Chain (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Selene's Rest
I was on the Moon. Raven was waiting there for me. "Are you ready to go?" she asked, creating a portal. "I'm ready!"
"Are you sure you're ready?"
"Let's do it!"
"Okay!" she said, and went through. I followed her. Everything was a blur for a second on the other side.
"Shit. Where is Selene?"
"I don't know."
"Okay, I am going back. I'll be right back."
"I'll be fine."
"I know." I went back through.

"Where is Selene?" I wondered.
"Nomad," she spoke to me telepathically, "I am in the sick bay of the Tower."
I teleported to her. She was half asleep on the hospital bed. I stroked her hair. A medical droid rolled out of the room carrying a tray of something.
"What's wrong?" I asked quietly.
"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I am safe here now," she said. "Go fight with Raven," she needs your help.
"But-" she interrupted me by reaching up and weakly caressing my cheek.
"Just go." She fell asleep. I kissed her hand, and set it down. I bent over and kissed her cheek.

The dream faded. I woke up hours later, and continued the dream.

Assassin's Creed Dimension
I was on the moon. I was supposed to do something here... What was it? No, time. Raven needs my help. I hoped I could find her. I created a purple vortex portal, and focused on going to her. I went through. I fell out of the portal about ten feet above the ground in a forest.
Raven and Altair were thundering toward me on horses. Raven's horse was black with a bright red mane, tail and fetlocks. Altair's was brown, with a white mane, tail, and fetlocks. Raven scooped me up, and I was on the back of her horse. We were being pursued by Templars on horseback. I fired white arrows out from a small white bow at the enemies hitting quite a few marks.
"The witch has created an ally!" one of the Templars shouted. I thought it was funny they thought Raven Knight created me.

"Take the reigns!" she shouted over the thundering of hooves. She turned and faced the Templars. Music came out of her, roaring drumbeats, and she summoned lightning from the sky, killing the remaining Templars, but the horses were unscathed.

We got off the horses at the edge of the forest. A great walled city was before us. "Who is your ally?" said Altair to Raven. He looked at me, as if he somehow knew me and was trying to remember. I looked at him. He reminded me of someone....

"No time for that," said Raven. "We are still being pursued. We must melt into the crowd of the city."

We walked into the city. We were in an open market. It was noisy and crowded. We tread upon a cobblestone road. People were selling all kinds of food that I had never seen before. All the merchants were yelling so loudly, you had to shout to the person next to you to be heard over the din.

"I can feel them coming closer," said Raven. "Stop looking around like a foreigner! We have to keep going."

"AHA!" said a loud voice above the din. The crowd quieted. A Templar was behind us. He pointed his sword at us. "There is the assassin, and his witch friend." He looked at me confused, for a second. "Another assassin! Kill them all!" Templars behind him rushed at us. I was concerned for the civilians. I turned on my energy shield and kneeled, which simultaneously created a hemisphere of protection around the three of us, and pushed the civilians back.
The Templars rushed at us. I turned off my shield, and absorbed the nearest one. I felt dark energy flow into me. I stood up and coughed, and wiped my mouth, grinnly menacingly at the Templars. As I coughed, tendrils of dark energy protruded from my skin for a second then disappeared back into me.

"A demon! The witch hath summoned forth a demon ally!" they shouted.
"What the hell did you do that for?" said Raven.
"I wanted to see what would happen. I wanted to see if these were real entities."

"You're nuts. We have to get out of here. It's too crowded to fight," said Raven. Raven put her hands on the shoulder of Altair and I, and teleported us to another part of the forest.

Fight in the Forest
We were without enemies. "Those bastards are going to show up soon," said Raven.

I grew in size, to a giant Nomad. "That is not very stealthy," said Raven.
"Oh right." I changed into a hill.
"What is that going to do?"
"Um..."
I changed into a great tree with dark grey brown bark. "Good!" Raven laughed. Altair was staring at me quizzically.

"Here they come!" said Raven hoarsely. Raven and Altair took cover, and I couldn't see them. I closed my mouth and my eyes to hide my face in my tree body.

The Templars were on foot. I heard the leader say, "Hmm... They are close. I can smell 'em." He sniffed the air. Raven stood up from the bushes. "AH-GGHKK!" He was about to point at Raven, but Altair appeared behind him and slit his throat, then disappeared.

"Ah the assassin is among us!" one of the Templars shouted in fear. I opened one eye. There were quite a good number, about forty. We were definitely outnumbered. The Templars eyes were like two tiny black holes.

Raven summoned lightning again. She killed some in front. One Templar shouted, "Charge!" and they rushed at Raven, running within my reach. I reached down and grabbed two of them with my great tree arms, crushing them to death. The assault was misdirected as they became confused and panicked. I rumbled at them, and it sounded like an earthquake.

"The witch has summoned a demon! Attack the demon!" The Templars regrouped and rushed at me, with their swords. I scooped them up, crushing them in my hands, and tossing them against trees. Others came closer, and tried to hack at me, but I trampled them under my great wooden feet. "I love being an Ent!" I thought. "This is so badass!" They shot arrows at me. It felt like being stuck with little needles. The Templars closer to me began to run away. "Attack! Attack! Attack!" shouted the second in command.

Raven summoned lightning again, and Altair was running among them, a white blur, slitting their throats from behind. "Kill the witch! The demon will disappear! Focus on the witch!" The Templars that were left all charged Raven Knight. Altair and Raven drew their swords. Two bolts of lightning came down from the sky again, and crackled on the swords of Raven and Altair. Raven and Altair became separated in the battle. Templars surrounded Raven. She did a spin attack, and Altair used the distraction, to stab one in the back.

All the Templars were gone. There were no bodies. Just empty armor with a putrid smoke rising from it.

I changed back into Nomad form. Raven opened a portal. She looked at Altair. "You can come with us, if you want to," she said to him. We stepped through.

Healing Raven Knight
We were back in the biodome on the moon. Raven looked ill. She began losing balance. She fell into Altair's arms. "I know where we have to go," I said. I created a portal. "Follow me," I told Altair.

We were in the Glen of Healing. Altair got a strange expression on his face. He looked down at Raven. He ripped something off of her back that looked like a cross between a crab and a stingray, and threw it on the grass, then he leapt upon it, and stabbed it with a dagger. It dissipated. Raven had two wounds on her upper back where the parasite had bitten her.

He laid Raven down in the grass. I turned into Pan. I summoned a conch shell and blew it. Instantly the Frost Giant appeared. "You don't need to do that to call me, cousin!" he said to me. "I already knew you were here. Save that for battle."

"I wanted to see what would happen," I said sheepishly, and turned back into my Nomad self. He laughed merrily, and looked at Raven. "Hmm. Another parasite attack." He looked at me. "You lie down in the grass, too."

I lied down in the grass and closed my eyes. Altair was looking at the Frost Giant curiously. He blew herbs from his hands which flew into Raven's wounds. A bunch of tiny little black astral ticks scampered off me, and were gobbled up by little frogs.

The Frost Giant picked up Raven like she was a small child and said to Altair and I, "Follow me."

We were in the cave of the Frost Giant. "Hi!" said Joseph, and ran to me and gave me a hug. I tousled his hair. The frost giant laid Raven down on a bed of hay in the rear of the cave. He withdrew a flask of red glowing liquid from a bag, lifted her head, and tilted it to her lips. "Drink this," he gently spoke to her.

The god of Winter

The frost giant stirred a pot of soup above a small fire. We stared into the flames for awhile in silence.
"As you become stronger, you are attract more of these creatures that want to feed off of your increasing energy. You must learn to guard yourselves more and more."
"But, how?" I asked.
"You are doing everything you need to do. You will be giving and receiving healing more and more."
"Was it wrong for me to absorb the dark energy?"
"Energy is energy. There is all kinds of energy. You can absorb the dark energy of you foes and use it against them. But, it must be like sucking molasses through a straw. Do not swallow the dark energy. It will make you vomit. Instead inhale it, then instantly exhale it."

"I want to know about you. Who are you?"

"I am the god of the North, the god of Winter, I have many names."
"Then why are we at the end of winter here?"
"All things end, and all things begin. Look, even now, a great blizzard blows outside this cave." I looked, and the outside of the cave was bright white with a heavy snowfall.
"Where do you come from? Your people, where are they?"
"I am the last of my kind. Once we were numerous on the face of the earth. We became tools of the gods, and they drove us mad with bloodlust. We ate humans. The humans made war on us, killing most of us with their weapons of bone and stone. There are still a few of us left. They call us abominable snowman, or Yeti."

"But, you said you were the last of your kind. I am confused."

"The others are like animals. They have lost their sentience. I have lost contact with them eaons ago. They wander the frozen north as great carnivores. I am the only one left with a mind."

"Why does Raven perceive you as a Crystal Golem?"

"She is seeing into my soul. Come with me, and I will show you the source of my power." Altair and I followed the Frost Giant toward the back of his cave, and stepped through the rear wall, which apparently was an illusion. We were in a giant geode. Crystals the size of trees grew out in all directions.

"This is the source of my power." I closed my eyes and inhaled. I felt circlular disks of power spinning through me at all angles. I opened my eyes. The crystal were beautiful. I felt like I was treading on sacred ground. We returned to the cave. The Frost Giant sat down, and began stirring the pot again.
"But, I want to know who you really are."
He looked up at me and smiled.
"Why do you people always speak in riddles? Why don't you answer things directly?"
"I think you know the answer."
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
"You already know who I am!"
"Who is speaking in riddles now?"
I couldn't help but laugh.
"Speak to Joseph. He has something to show you."

Joseph was standing at the edge of the cave looking into the forest. He turned into a great falcon, the size of a man, looked at me, and blinked, then turned back into a boy.
"Wow, good job, young man!" I said. "Thanks!" he smiled.

Bear vs. Bear
The blizzard stopped. Joseph turned into a grizzly bear, and ran down into the forest. He looked at me and growled. I turned into a grizzly bear and charged him. We wrestled in the snow, tossing each other against the trees. He pounced on me, knocking me to the ground. He lifted up his paw, and said, "I win."

"Nope!" I said, and rolled away. Then I turned into a polar bear, and stood on my hind legs. I roared at him. He charged me, and then I did a judo flip tossing him over. He laughed and we wrestled again smashing each other against the trees.

"Okay, stop!" he said, catching his breath. "I want to show you something." I noticed Altair standing at the edge of the cave, watching.

The Sacred Mountain
He turned into a falcon and flew up into the air. I turned into a tree dragon and followed him. "Wow, you look like some kind of wood dragon thing. Cool!" he laughed. "But, what about your friend? He has to come with us."
I glided back down, and landed, then turned into a human. I summoned my sky blue dragon and golden dragon. I got on the blue one, and Altair got on the gold one. The dragons took off into the sky. "Amazing!" said Altair.
We followed Joseph over the ocean. There was an island with a active volcano on it in the distance. As we approached, we circled around it. "This island is sacred," he said.
"Why are you showing us this? Where is this place?"
"I think you know," said Joseph.The dragons disappeared, and we Altair and I were riding on Joseph's back. He called and picked up speed. He landed on a pointed rock jutting out from a grassy mountain overlooking a steep valley. I dismounted. "I will take your friend back to the cave now," he said, and flew away.

Zaphor's Lessons
Zaphor, my dream guide the red gargoyle appeared to me, floating in a cloud in lotus position.
"You have questions," he stated simply.
"All this... is it all real?"
"You already know the answer, my brother."
"Why do you call me brother?"
"We are gargoyles. Look at yourself. I looked at myself." I was a sky blue gargoyle.
"I don't understand."
"Yes, you do."
"But, Koomo calls me brother."
"He is your blood brother. I am your birth brother."
"My spirit guides, are they with me, even now?"
"Michael is here, as he always is." I felt an angel embrace me from behind. I felt a calming peace.
"Koomo is fighting. He calls for your aid. Arm yourself, and go to him now." Zaphor disappeared.

Homeworld of the Bat People: Sky Battle
I was instantly teleported to Koomo's homeworld. Koomo, the man-bat, the throwback, the one with wings of flesh, disdained and discarded. I was next to him. I was wearing the bat-wings that he gave me, and the winged helmet from Michael. I was wielding my moon sword. We were in the sky above a dense forest near steep mountains.
"Ah, you join me in battle, brother!" he shouted exuberantly.
Others of his race, wearing orange gliders and jetpacks were approaching. We hovered in place, flapping our bat wings.
The enemies fired lasers at us. I turned on my energy belt, and a blue force field formed around me, deflecting their shots. Koomo wrapped his wings around himself, and the lasers bounced off. Covering the bones on the outside of his wings was a shiny silver metal, and between the bones was a flexible bluish metal. He deflected the shots. He hovered with a boost from small jet boots.

"Come! We must lead them away from the temple! They still haven't found it, but they are searching!" He took off toward the north, and I followed.
Koomo turned back, and fired a laser rifle at the the enemies, and I fired bolts of fire from my hands.
"He has a sorcerer with him! The blasphemer!"
"What simple fools," Koomo muttered disdainfully.
We neared a great ocean.
"We are far enough away from the temple. Now!"
We turned and faced our pursuers. They charged at us full speed, Koomo and I turned on our jet boots, and hovered in place. He fired automatic laser bolts at them a primal war cry filling the skies. I fired blasts of fire at the enemies. They were startled for a second then began firing back. Some dropped from the sky, but the rest kept flying straight at us. I heard another primal scream, like that of an furious beast, and my chest ribcage was vibrating. Then, I realized it was me.
The enemies closed the distance, firing relentlessly. Right before lasers hit us, I turned on my force field, and Koomo closed his wings for a second. The enemies were now about thirty feet away. Koomo drew a sword. I blasted them with a flamethower spell, out of my hands, and they fell like moths from a flame.
Koomo slid his sword back into his scabbard, and grinned at me.
"Now to the temple."

The War Begins
We were in a large temple. Great red pillars rose to an unseen ceiling. The entire place was made of a blood red stone. A priest in a robe of a color I cannot describe was drawing water from a basin. Koomo and I were sitting across from each other at opposite ends of a circle engraved on the floor that was about 30 feet across. The circle had another circle in it. There were lines drawn across, and drawings of constellations that I did not recognize. There were strange runes between the two circles.

The priest carried a small bowl, and chanted as he walked toward Koomo, then poured water on his head. Then, the priest came toward me and did the same. "Now, warriors, arise," he commanded.

We stood up. The priest pointed to the eastern wall. There were three steps leading up to a platform, on which there was a table with some holy relics.
Above the table on the wall was a huge picture of outer space, about 80 feet high, which looked like a window. Then, I realized it was a portal.
"Our allies come!" said the priest. Men of the same race as Koomo, bat-men with no wings riding upon strange winged owlish steeds rode through the portal wielding black tridents.
The owl creatures were wearing some type of armor with spikes on the shoulders. The owls alighted on the floor of the temple in formation and the men stepped off, holding their tridents at their sides ceremoniously.
Another man, wearing a type of crown rode in last, and stood on the platform. He addressed the allies.
"The reincarnation of The Ancient One is in our midst," he said referring to Koomo. "He has summoned The Sorcerer from the Other Dimension, his brother to aid us in battle. The second stage of The Prophecy is fulfilled. Now is the time of the end of all things, and the beginning of all things. We will assemble our greatest forces, my princes. What has been hidden will soon be revealed. No longer will we hide in darkness, using stealth to attack the ones who seek to control. Tell your people, go forth. We will fight in the sight of the sun. TO WAR!!!"

"TO WAR!!!" shouted the princes in return. They mounted their steeds, and flew out of the temple in all directions.

Koomo turned and gazed at me grimly, placing a hand on my shoulder. "This is only the beginning, Sorcerer."

This looks like the start of something big! Need any help with that? If so, count me in!

So do you WILD throughout the day and night or just night?

I WILD every nap I take, or at least I try to. The last two Seven Wonder dreams were naps.

I also did a wakewalking experiment, which was pretty cool. I was in the dream dimension during a walking meditation at night with my eyes open. I think I walked about 5 or 6 miles that night.

The impostor (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to sleep with the intention of checking on Selene.

I was on the moon in the Biodome. Some large black dogs ran up to me. I pet them absentmindedly. Where is Selene? One of the dogs clamped down on my right foot, a pit bull. What a little shit! What is going on? A portal opened behind me, and I got sucked in right after the pit bull.

I was in The Outback. It was not a pit bull, but a black Isz. I was The Maxx. GAH! I sliced it off my foot with my claw. I was standing on the same rock outcropping where Selene had been when she was Julie Winters, The Jungle Queen. Mr. Gone appeared. "So, Maxx, you have met another one of my little pets." Then, he laughed at me menacingly.

"Hey man, you know what? Fuck this shit already!" I pointed at him with my right hand and absorbed him into me. The whole world folded up like a paper getting sucked into a vacuum cleaner.

I was in outer space, and Chronos, the god of time, with the appearance of Mr. Gone floated in front of me. I felt sick and dizzy. "What the hell was that?"

"That was an impostor, child," and he threw back his head and laughed merrily.

"Oh. Ugh..."

"You'll be fine, in time!" Then he laughed again at his own joke.

meditation:

I am back in the Biodome, stumbling around confusedly. I teleport to the Tower. I am standing on a pink circle which is scanning me. The computer says: Dark energy detected, parasite detected.

I am in a sick bay room, strapped down to a bed. with my arms splayed out. A medical droid rolls over to me, and injects something into my torso. I start shaking. Black tendrils come out of me, then disappear. I breathe deeply, and try to relax.

The Tower computer spoke again: Nomad, you have been injected with a substance that will increase the resistance in your veins to dark energy. It will keep it from flowing into other parts of your body. But, you must not swallow or absorb the dark energy as you have been. You must inhale it, then quickly exhale it. That is the only way your body will be able to handle it. Also, the rage parasite has returned, attracted to the rage energy within you. Let go of the rage, and the parasite will starve. Now, breathe deeply, warrior, and be at peace. Rest. Selene is resting in the room next to you.

Whenever feels natural if I have time. Sometimes, I feel a dream coming on, and sleep is overwhelming.

I am in a sick bay room, strapped down to a bed. with my arms splayed out. A medical droid rolls over to me, and injects something into my torso. I start shaking. Black tendrils come out of me, then disappear. I breathe deeply, and try to relax.

The Tower computer spoke again: Nomad, you have been injected with a substance that will increase the resistance in your veins to dark energy. It will keep it from flowing into other parts of your body. But, you must not swallow or absorb the dark energy as you have been. You must inhale it, then quickly exhale it. That is the only way your body will be able to handle it. Also, the rage parasite has returned, attracted to the rage energy within you. Let go of the rage, and the parasite will starve. Now, breathe deeply, warrior, and be at peace. Rest. Selene is resting in the room next to you.

Wow... We have to do something about the security (or lack thereof) of that tower. And I really wish you'd stop consuming dark energy! That crap is dangerous! Q might have something to help you control it...

I felt like it was the only way to defeat that bastard. I was pissed because I thought he kidnapped Selene or something.
