Nothing but heat happens. Frustration wakes me up.

I'm thinking more focus, less tension... The tension of frustration will only hinder you. When you were focusing on it, could you clearly visualize the desired effect in your mind? Because that's where it starts.

Deep Dream State

abridged

I float up out of bed, and stand up. I am a vampire jaguar catgod. I am wearing long flowing robes floating in an unfelt wind. I look down at Angel. She is sleeping peacefully. I caress her head. She smiles in her sleep. I hear Pyramid Song by Radiohead. I walk through the wall. There is my spaceship, Future's Hope, hovering above the pool. It is made of a sand colored stone. Steps form out of it. Mary and Marty appear and attach guns to it. Stone legs pop out of it, and treads. I open the top, and place a black helmet on my head.

Jets blast me vertically into the sky, and I lumber through time and space to the Pyramids.

I float to the Great Pyramid, get out of my ship, and stand on the apex. A hot desert wind blows, and I shift from form to form to form. There is some kind of market beneath me. A resident from the City of Nowhere says the Free Market was moved to Earth because Nowhere is under siege. He bows and leaves. AndresLD appears out of a portal. He flings some creature into it. He grins at me, and bows. I bow back. "I am ready for battle, my lord!"

"Dude, don't call me that."

"Oh, I thought it sounded cool."

"No."

He cracks his knuckles. "You look like your are jonesing for a fight."

"My city on the Moon, the City of Nowhere is under siege, being attacked by dark energy demons."

"That sounds badass. Let's kick their asses!"

"First, we must rally the forces. We attack their rear flanks mounting our assault from Earth!"

I roar, and the earth quakes. An army of summoners burst forth from the earth. I draw the Conch of Pan from the folds of my robes, and blast it. Interdimensional Dream Warriors appear out of portals. Many of them are tossing creatures into portals as if in mid-battle.

Angel appears in Angelwitch form, and floats down to me.

"My love, I have come to aid you in battle. I am always with you, until the end of days. But, presently do not speak to my waking self, of our lives together on the dream plane. Do not speak about it any more. This time, this moment, this place, this plane is too sacred. There is a rift in me, in "us", created by the trauma..."

"But-"

"We will speak of this no more."

Angelwitch turns to the crowd. "I am Angelwitch, Queen of Twilight, Goddess of Dusk and Dawn!" Angelwitch's eyes burn hot white, and moonlight glows out of her pours as she channels Selene. "I am Selene, The Moon Goddess! My lover's sacred city on the Moon is under siege! Who will join us in battle?"

The Dream Warriors pump their weapons in the air and roar. It sounds like a thousand thunderstorms and a great earthquake.

"The dark energy demons look to steal our energy like black holes. Be wary. We mount the attack from Earth, and attack their rear flank!"

Three giant portals open.

Koomo, King of the Bat-people, appears with an army. One division is riding strange beasts and wielding spears. Another is wearing orange sky-wings, and wielding guns.

The Moon Orcs appear, riding great wolves.

The Frost Giant appears with all manner of mythical beasts.

We mount black Moon dragons with crescent moons on their foreheads, and take to the sky.

[COLOR="rgb(139, 0, 0)"]On the Moon[/COLOR]

Selene creates a giant portal to the Moon, and we are immediately in battle.

Raven is Queen of Night. She has multiplied herself to 256 Ravens riding winged black panthers, summoning forth lightning. "What took you so long?"

"Monday Moon Day. We met at the Pyramids."

"Oh, right. Walms just showed up. He's doing his Alex Mercer thing."

I see Walms. He looks like a huge bar magnet with teeth and two sword-arms. He's sucking the dark energy demons, and telling them how delicious their energy tastes. He is speaking in Spanish. I hear the translation with my Babelfish. "Ah, thank you for your lovely dark energy, you weak foes! Come to me, and let me taste your souls!"

MoSh is something like a half Naga half centaur. He is running through the demons, and ripping them in half.

Allison is teleporting all over the City, and biting their heads off.

AndresLD is doing spin attacks with his sword like a drill.

Loaf appears, and punches the demons in their gut, and then his fist explodes.

Aquanina is an Ice-woman. She is riding an arctic wolf, blasting the demons with blue icicles, freezing them, and smashing them to bits with an ice hammer.

(There are many other dreamers battling, but I don't have time to write the battle in detail.)

[COLOR="rgb(139, 0, 0)"]The Chase[/COLOR]

The tide of the battle turns, and we begin to win. The demons shrink to hide. I use the shrink-belt The Atom gave me, and summon an army of tiny hellhounds to chase the demons. I become a hellhound and merge with Jo, my familiar. We lead the chase and bay like Lucifer's alpha dog. The Atom appears and rides upon our back armed with a strange spear. We chase the demons through a thousand tiny dimensions, always in the City of Nowhere, getting smaller and smaller.

"We need your Dark Energy Magnet friend!" says the Atom.

"Yo yo yo! Walmsy baby!" I call telepathically to Walms. He appears even tinier than me, on my finger. He looks like a bar magnet with an evil grin. He tells me to throw him. I fling him at the demons, and he spins through the air, sucking the demons into him like a black hole. They scream in anger.

missing time

I am laying on the ground in the middle of the City. I have a fever somehow. Angel is wiping my brow. "You had an infection. The demons went into your dream body like viruses. The Mexicano disappeared, as he said he was going inside you to fight the virus-demons."

I sit up and see my friends standing around me, MoSh, Raven, WarriorTiger, Loaf, Walms. I say to Walms, "Gracias."

He grins at me and nods. He licks dark energy from his lips. I teleport to the Glen of Healing on the Moon, and fall asleep with Angel in my arms.

Whoa, awesome. That battle sounds so epic.

Nap Dream

I am driving down a road in my old Toyota Corrola. The car is not responding too well. I can't see out of my right eye. Is this a dream? Nose pinch RC. Yeah. Damn. I might hit those people. I pull the car over just in case as it starts to close in on me. RC. yeah, I am dreaming. I get out of the car. Ok, so now I am dreaming. What do I want to do? Open a portal to the Moon. I spin my hands in a circle. It doesn't work. I get distracted by a strange light coming from a basement window. I try to open my right eye.

I open my left eye in waking life and see my girlfriend's window. Dammit! I close it, and try to reenter. I am in the dream for a split second, then I wake up.

(I couldn't open my right eye in waking life because my arm was squishing it. This translated over to my dream.)

Kicking the ass of the Slime Monster

NOTES

In the Biodome. Call from Raven. I open a portal to her.
I am in a battle suddenly.
There is a dark slimy thing hovering over Asuka. We are in the woods somewhere. Asuka is asleep.

Raven shoots lightning at its head.

I tackle it.

It divides into light and dark things. Allison and I fight the light one, and MoSh and Raven fight the dark one. Allison and I end up in some strange colloseum with a lot of the light slimy creatures. We don't gladiator battle. Instead we fly around and kill them all.

We go back to the others.

Data said it was a fake android Asuka, that the creature was trying to capture, but it was good practice for us. He said when enemies try to take her, they will grab the android by mistake, keeping the real Asuka safe. I am slightly annoyed with Data.

***

I ask Zaphor why MoSh keeps getting attacked. He says that MoSh and Asuka are both types of Nexuses. I ask him what I am. He says a Time Traveler, and Raven, a Dimension Traveler. I ask him what WarriorTiger is. He says a Pure Warrior, like Markus. I ask him what all these titles are. He says they are secondary roles after being Dreamwalkers.

I ask him what a Nexus is. He says MoSh is at the center of it all. All what?

Dreams. The Dreams of Urth.

being slightly annoyed with Data is his MO LOL. but he is extremely handy to have around.

I'm glad I showed up on moon day !

That's funny I bowed to you, I practice Taekwondo and I usually bow to higher ranks.

I wanna know what I am XD

Deep Dream State

Bad Kitty

I float up out of bed. I shift into many different forms. I see Angel sleeping peacefully. She floats up also. "What are we doing tonight, Nate?"

"Oh! Well-"

"Actually, I'm sleepy."

"But, you already are asleep. This is a dream."

"I know, just don't argue with me!" she yawns. "I'm going back to bed."

"Okay."

I open a purple vortex portal to the Moon. In the wormhole the Wormhole Wyrms are battling dark energy demons. I form my Witchblade into mech-armor, and blast the demons with lightning and edible bombs. I tumble out on into the Biodome on the Moon.

"Hey, Nomad! Are you okay? You look a little... dirty."

"I'm fine!" I snarl at Raven.

"Aw kitty! You have tar on your fur!" For some reason, I turn into a snow leopard cub. "C'mere." Raven picks me up by the scruff of my neck, and I bat at her hand. She giggles, and drops me in a plastic basin with soapy water in it. She scrubs black tar out of my fur with a bristle brush.

"What are you? Some kind of tree-hugging pinko commie nature-loving liberal?"

Raven giggles again and towels me dry. I claw at her, and she smacks me lightly on the head.

"Bad kitty! Be nice. You got dark energy on you? Were you fighting something just now?"

"I don't know." She gives me a saucer of cool water to drink. It's the best water I have ever had. Then she gives me some bloody raw meat in a shallow dish. "Mm... Thanks, mom."

"Nomad, you are so weird sometimes!"

"Is this a dream?"

"Yes! You're a cat! Duh!"

"Oh!" I turn into an adult big cat, an African leopard. She pets my head. "I think that sometimes the reason why we don't become lucid, is because our subconscious minds are so used to dreaming, you know? I think when we become lucid, it's like we're forming a link between the subconscious and conscious minds. Also, I think our subconscious minds are so closely linked to spirit, to astral and dream planes, to past, and even future lives, and to other versions of us on other dimensions. When I shapeshift... I think I am coming up with these new forms creatively, but I am beginning to think that I am merely discovering past, present, or other-dimensional, and future forms of myself. Just like I thought I created Zaphor's form, I really discovered it."

"Interesting essay, especially for a cat."

I jump up at the loaf tree, and bat a loaf of bread at Raven's head. She grabs it and takes a bite. "Mm, delicious, thanks Nomad."

"Hm... I'm tired."

"You got in a battle on the way here, huh?'

"Oh, yeah, in the wormhole. I think time inside of wormholes is even more truncated, or wrinkled. For example, dream time: we can have a dream that is five minutes long in waking life, but in dream time it's half an hour. I think when we go through wormholes, it feels like a split second of dream time, so short most people don't even notice, but may actually be longer. Yeah, I got gross dark energy stuck to my fur. Thanks. Sorry for being a grouch."

"It's okay. I am going to go help Allison. We are going to Rome again tonight."

"What are you going to do?"

"Well, I am going to steal some bread and other food, from the emperor's market."

"Huh?"

"Well, he has this weird market set up, where it's not really a market. It's all his food, but he "shops" there for "free." "

"And you are going to give it to the people?"

"Of course. And then we are going to assassinate him. HAHA."

"Nice."

"Want to come?"

"No... I'm so... tired. Call me if you need help, though."

"We'll be fine. Have a good nap."

Raven creates a portal and disappears.

I fall asleep.

Zaphor's Mad Lecture

I have a colored dream body which floats up out of my dream body. "What is this?" I ask Zaphor.

"Your spirit-body, very similar to your energy body," his voice answers in my head.

I fly into space. I sit in lotus, and float on a cloud. I see space is full of life, like a drop of seawater seen under a microscope. All kinds of interdimensional beings fly about. Zaphor appears before me.

"Okay, so how many bodies do we have?"

"Well, three main ones, seven secondary ones, and 144 tertiary ones, and so many others, shades of grey, going on into infinity, really."

"So give me the low-down on the first ten."

"You know of the physical, dream, and astral. And then there is the mind body, the energy body, the spirit body, and you have the elemental bodies: the fire body, the earth body, the water body, the wind body, the lightning body. Some of the important tertiary bodies are your force bodies: your gravity body, your magnet body, which is similar to your lightning body."

"That's eight secondary."

"Some classify the lightning body as your magnet body, but, anyway, the numbers don't really matter. It's your understanding of the types which is important."

"Tell me about the energy body."

"The energy body is the second layer of your self, which permeates all bodies. All life requires energy. At its core is the spirit body."

"Which is?"

"Your spirit body is your soul, the essence of life. It's the spark at the core of your being, the light at the end of the tunnel. All bodies are connected to this body."

"Tell me about the mind body."

"Your mind body is the seat of control. Your mind is two halves of a whole, your conscious and subconscious minds. Your conscious mind is linked mostly to your physical body, your brain, though you can move it around inside your body, and project it into a book, a video game, a film, or really anything you fix your mind upon, especially if you empathize with the target. Your subconscious mind body is most closely linked to the dream and astral bodies."

"Tell me about the elemental bodies."

"The elemental bodies closely permeate all planes. Upon rudimentary understanding, they seem to be only on the physical plane. All the elements of earth, minerals and such which make up your physical body, are part of the earth body. And so it goes for the water body, and so forth. But, these elemental bodies permeate all planes. All elemental magic emanates from these elemental bodies."

"Tell me about the force bodies."

"The force bodies are similar to the elemental bodies. Your physical body is made of energy, and matter. This matter has gravity. Gravity magic is done on the dream and astral planes with the gravity body. There is also strong nuclear, weak nuclear, and many other forces in the universe which have yet to be discovered and named."

"Tell me about the other forces in the universe."

"I will speak to you of two. Firstly, subtle force. Subtle force originates from group mind, or hive mind. The will and direction of conscious, subconscious, sentient, and non-sentient beings generate this type of force. This seemingly mystical force will one day be discovered by the scientists of Urth. Then, Earth will follow. When people meditate together, pray, or simply think the same as a group, they alter energy and matter mystically, but will also take action to achieve their desire. Colony creatures such as ants are full of this force. People can start wars, end wars, alter the weather, and do many powerful things by the use of this force."

"Fascinating."

"The other force is the Over Force. This force is generated from an individual mind but is related to subtle force. Non-sentient beings have no capacity for Over Force. Ones you perceive as gods, and sentient dreamwalkers such as yourself are full of Over Force. Over force is highly individualistic, and may clash against others' over forces. Over force is a manifestation of Will, conscious and subconscious, permeating all planes of existence, past, present, future, and other dimensions. The True Master of Self will generate and channel their own Over force into themselves to take control of firstly the mind body, then the other bodies. Once you take control of your mind body, the other bodies will follow, because the mind body is the seat of control. First you must sit upon the throne of your own castle, take charge of your own life, control yourself, rule yourself as a loving monarch, and then the Over force will be your servant."

Zaphor's eyes glow golden. He grins. I see many shiny sharp teeth. I realize he's one of the most dangerous entities I have ever encountered. I see my reflection on his teeth. His red scaly skin is so detailed and beautiful. I am at once terrified and amazed. I feel like crying and screaming. I just stare. A deep rumbling comes from within his belly like distant thunder. He slowly opens his mouth. Inside is a strange black orb, covered in threads of lightning. The orb becomes a flat portal. I get sucked in.

I am an infinite number of me's, falling through wormholes in an infinite number of dimensions. I scream in confusion, terror, and delight. I see self beyond time. Everything is happening at once. I see all my dreams I ever had, and ever will have, in all lifetimes. I am dying, being born, living, dying, traveling, killing, making love, eating my prey, laughing, melting, morphing... I have 360 vision. I feel like my soul is going to explode. I ask Zaphor to make it stop. I hear only hollow laughter echo from nowhere.

I am suddenly a little green ball of vegetable matter. Zaphor farts me out into space.

"Is that all I am? A cosmic poop?"

"Yep!" Zaphor laughs.

"So you're saying I am just some cosmic-space-shart coming out of the asshole of some crazy red dream-dragon-god-gargoyle-thing?"

"Yep!"

I form a shower, and clean myself off, making my self a nice clean green tree.

"You're an asshole!" I shout.

Zaphor laughs. "Stop taking yourself so seriously, kid."

"Are you my father?"

"No, though in other dimensions, I am your lover, your son, your-"

"Okay, weird. Never mind!"

"Soulgawn is your father. Speaking of that, are you going to ever rescue his soul from Devilgawn?"

"Yes."

"Then, do it. Tonight. Do it alone if you have to. But, you have many allies."

"Yes, father."

Zaphor pats me playfully on my head. He breathes a cloud of space fire at me, and I float back to the Biodome.

***

abridged
I wake up and stretch. I stand up, and wander around the Biodome alone.

I see my ex, R. We have a conversation which is too personal to write down here.

Angel appears, flinging a bat imp thing into the portal she came out of. I do healing on her. I tell her, let's find the source of those bastards. She says no. I shrug. She and I go to a waterfall coming down the Mountain in the Biodome. We swim in the pool at the bottom, and change into merpeople, then fish, then freshwater dolphins. We swim to the ocean. We change into bottom fish, and go to sleep on the sea floor.

Killer in the Corn

Deep Dream State

I am running away from a serial killer through cornfields. I am unarmed. He has an axe and a shotgun. He is laughing madly and screaming at me. "C'mere, boy! I want to eat your guts! Oh, yeah, your guts, first, put your body on a spit, the eyes are delicious. Like two grapes!"

I see a bunch of signs that I placed there when I was a rabbit, that say, "Exit," and point down to holes in the earth.

I have run from this bastard so many times before. I am sick of this psycho. I am sick of this dream.

I turn to face him. He stops running at me, and appears before me. He looks like a redneck farmer. He is spattered in blood. He has pig guts hanging on his shoulder. He licks the guts. "Mm... raw flesh. So, I guess, you are giving up, huh? Like a good prey animal?"

I become a cute tiny white rabbit. He is stunned by this. Then, I morph into the rabbit monster from Donnie Darko, but I am also half were-jaguar. "This is my dream!" I roar, and the fabric of time and space ripples. His hat blows off, and the blood drains from his face.

"I didn't know... you had the power... Nice, bunny-cat thingy..."

I leap at him, and tackle him to the ground. I pummel his face until its bloody. He looks simply stunned. "But, I thought this was my dream," he whimpers.

I grab him by the ankles, and spin him around. I spin him so hard, his body separates from his feet, and he goes flying. I have his bloody feet in my paws. He whimpers and hobbles away on his stumps.

"I'm just a pathetic little demon... Don't hurt me."

I spread my arms to the side, and flame bursts from my arms. I sweep them forward, and light the entire cornfield ablaze. He does a little wimpy rain magic, and makes in rain above his head. He screams obscenities at me, and says he is going to eat my brains. I hear the cry of a great eagle from the sky. It vibrates my bones. I look up. There is a beautiful giant eagle soaring in the sky above me. Joseph! He's all grown up now.

He dive-bombs the serial killer, talons extended. The killer turns into a mouse, and tries to hide in the corn. Joseph laughs, and catches him in his talons, and rips him apart, consuming him. Then he turns back into his regular self. He looks like a young teenage boy, about thirteen. He smiles at me and burps.

"Are you going to be okay? Eating that guy?"

"Oh, I'm fine. I can consume dark energy, like your buddy Walms. I learned some techniques from him. He doesn't really know who I am, but I always show up in his dreams. HAHA. You just have to burp and fart, and you'll be fine. Just eat too much, or you'll vomit."

Joseph becomes a giant eagle again. He creates a portal, and we fly to the Temple of Nothing, landing on the landing pad. Guargawn greets us.

"Ah, brother, how goes it?" he asks.

"Well! And how do you like being the god of Nothing."

"Well, it was fun at first, but I don't think I am really cut out for all this false god stuff. I'd rather hang out with you and your friends and do cool dream adventures instead of stay in this stuffy temple all day. May I have permission to dream with you?"

"We already are dreaming."

"So we are!"

We get on stone hoverbikes and fly to the Biodome. I am giving Guargawn a tour of it when I awake.

NOTES

Deep Dream State

Form a team on the Moon to rescue Soulgawn's soul. Angel, MoSh, Allison, Raven, Loaf, Kraftwerk.

Soulgawn says he cannot penetrate Nevergawn's defenses.

We fight in an epic battle.

I take Kraftwerk with me, and he and I become tiny with The Atom. Data makes android clones to fight the battle, and the others join us. We move between molecules, through the walls and bars of the prison where the sparks are kept. We find Soulgawn's spark. The Atom makes it tiny, and we grab it. Raven opens a portal back to the Moon.

We give Soulgawn his spark. He becomes a beautiful green and white dragon. He bows to us, and flying away, says he has important business to attend to. I ask him what to call him now. He says a word that I cannot pronounce. It means something like All-father.

Wow, all of your dreams are freaking awesome! I'm surprised by how stable the themes of your dreams are, how they always seem constant and connected. I think I'm going to have to read your DJ more often for inspiration.

NOTES

semi-lucid to lucid

I am one of 10 kids. I get lucid.

I stay in this dream for a long time.

I have sex with four women.

I focus on my sense of dream-touch.

I'm sorry for the nightmares you keep getting. If I had known it would have effected you so much I wouldn't have written down the dream. I had a dream that night that I was in the cornfields too. I think that this is one of my demons and the only way to get rid of permanently it is if I take care of it myself.

Dammit! Now I have to out-dream-man-whore you.

Form a team on the Moon to rescue Soulgawn's soul. Angel, MoSh, Allison, Raven, Loaf, Kraftwerk.

Superhero team-ups for the win.

Yes, superheroes.

I'm surprised by how stable the themes of your dreams are, how they always seem constant and connected.

This. It's really cool reading about what's basically an alternate dream-life, or at least an extension of your waking one. It seems like you have one constant identity throughout your dreams, which keeps you grounded in dream-sharing.

I wonder if shared dreams are actually helped along by a stable in-dream identity. If your dream-self is fractured and constantly convinced that you're a different person/character, it might be harder for other people to find you.

But then, that's where lucid dreaming would come in.

ABRIDGED

I get in my spaceship, and fly to the Moon. Basara is holding Raven. She looks sick. We take her to the Glen of Healing in the Kingdom of The North. Allison, Silverwolf, MoSh, Asuka, Angel, Basara, and others do dream-healing on her. Some crazy chimera creature floats out of Raven. All our chimera creatures float out of us, like ghosts.

I seem to be the only one to see them.

Zaphor tells me the chimeras are manifestations of amalgamations of creatures we have been in past lives, and hybrids resulting from experiments by the Annunaki on our physical and dream bodies.

This was originally drawn in my paper DJ.

(a few nights ago)

ABRIDGED

I am with Raven, Asuka, and MoSh in an Assassins Creed world in the woods. They are being chased on horseback by a group of Templars. I become an Ent in order to disguise myself. I pluck Templars off of their horses, and crush them in my mighty tree fists. Raven laughs, and circles around, becoming Queen of Night.

"Ah, the witch has summoned a demon!" MoSh morphs into a giant Naga, and Asuka becomes a red Eastern dragon. "Ah, the witch has summoned a cold drake and a fire drake! We are doomed!"

We kick their asses. HAHA

Two days after this dream, I saw The Lovely Bones, about a killer in a cornfield.

I am in The Tower. Q1 and Data are talking about a training mission in The Outer Lands. They give me some extra powers, energy to hide my identity. Q1 tells me to morph into something disgusting. I become the Octopus witch from the little mermaid. Q laughs. Data doesn't get it. Q keeps giggling the whole time. He says I am to practice using Disgusting Magic on my allies.

The purpose of Disgusting Magic is to draw focus away from you, or to you, and to induce fear in opponents prone to it. I summon a bunch of zombie DC's. Data tells me to make them human, then make them zombies, in which case I will appear more powerful. AHA!

Data tells me to go hide in a space station in the Outer Lands, and ambush my friends. I ask if it's like hide-and-seek. Q laughs again, and teleports.

I am in the center of a space station. I hack into the computer and view the security cameras. Some of my DC's are wandering about aimlessly. I make some zombie DC's, and they bite the human ones. Data tells me that is the incorrect procedure. I am supposed to turn the humans into zombies myself. Oops! Raven and MoSh appear and attack my DC zombies. Too late. Data sounds annoyed. I hear Q laughing in the background.

I shoot my tentacles down the hall, and make some humans turn into zombies.

Raven and MoSh find me. I tell them how powerful I am, and turn into a zombie octopus witch. Raven makes a face at me. They kick my ass and burn me. I rip them apart, but they don't seem to notice, and keep fighting with fragmented bodies. I start laughing.

Q1 teleports me back to the Tower.

Data says I lost because I did not follow the procedure, in an annoyed voice. I tell him he is pretty annoying for an android. He frowns at me. Q laughs his ass off, and rolls on the ground.

I see MoSh, Raven, Asuka, WarriorTiger, and a fifth person... Cacophony, wandering through a labyrinth in a 2D screen. They are all D&D characters. Data tells me to be a minotaur, and this time follow procedure. I stick my tongue out at him. He chuckles. Q seems annoyed by this. He seems to think Data is funnier when he is annoyed. I tell him I am going to be a lava minotaur. He says, "No." I turn into a lava minotaur. Data yawns at me. Q teleports me to the center of the labyrinth.

I make many minotaur DC's. Some are normal, some are cyborgs, some are zombies, and some are elemental. I see through their eyes. Raven says these are fake DC's, and don't spend too much time fighting them. I manage to get everyone confused and separated into two groups. I defeat one group, but not the other. Draw.

There is a weird ceremony. Q hands us all big minus symbols. I laugh. Everyone else seems bewildered.

ABRIDGED

I am in the Sahara. I am riding an Arabian horse. I am in Nomad form. The ghost of the Vampire King appears before me in a sandstorm.

Tank Girl appears in a big ass tank to help me fight the dethroned Vampire King. I look at her face. She winks at me. "Cacophony?"

"The one and only!"

She cracks her knuckles, and climbs down into the tank. I am in the tank with her, and outside at the same time. She tells me to drive. She fires some kind of weird sand-magnet flak at the sandstorm, and the sand stops whipping around, forming a giant sand storm on the ground. Then she fires a black ball like a tiny dwarf star at the center of the wind. The Vampire King screams and gets sucked into it.

I am also outside the storm, chucking spears of sand-magnet metal at the sand storm.

MoSh appears on a stone bike and asks if we need help.

"Too late, but thanks!" Cacophony laughs.

MoSH blushes. "Oh."

She grabs him, and kisses him. I turn around and try to whistle. DAMMIT. I can't whistle, even in dreams. I hum. I turn back around. Cacophony tosses MoSh aside and wipes her mouth. MoSh looks at me, and he chuckles. He looks lightheaded. Cacophony slaps him on the butt, and the disappears.

"Aw, he woke up. Hey, let's go kick some more ass!"

"I am going to wake up, too."

"No, don't, Nomad! Hold on to the dream!"

"I can't help it."

"Well, I guess I am going to kick some Nazi ass in Normandy, then! In a flying tank!"

"Cool!"

I disappear from the dream, but I still see her. Weird. She crosses her arms, and pouts, then she disappears.

I wake up on the Moon in the Biodome.

I start babbling about being in Oz, like I am Dorothy. "You were there, and you..."

My friends are standing in circle around me. They tell me I was talking in my sleep. I feel totally confused. I wake up for real.

Try RCing every time you wake up. It's hard, but it pays off. I caught a FA while ago Walms style. It was awesome!
