Thread: Raven Knight's Dream Travels

Note: The battery on my iPod crapped out tonight so I wasn't able to have the music portion of my light / sound machine going. Due to this I failed to go into a WILD…

I was in a beautiful place. I wasn't sure where I was. It was a beautiful forest glen. I looked around more. There was a cave nearby. There was a giant crystal person there. A Crystal Golem. He was looking at me and smiling. He didn't look hostile. I wondered what it was. This didn't seem normal at all. I looked and saw there was a cave there. I walked into the cave. Nomad was in there. He said he hadn't known if I would show up or if he would have to come find me. He said he still wanted to show me back into the crystal chamber. The Crystal Golem followed me into the cave. I followed Nomad deeper into the cave. Near the back of the cave the Crystal Golem opened a hidden door in the back of the cave. We went through the cave into an amazing room beyond. The entire room was filled with amazing crystals. The crystals were glowing with inner light and vibrating with energy. The Crystal Golem indicated I should lie down on a large flat crystal. That seemed like a really hard bed… but I lied down on it. As soon as I lied down a crystal cover closed over me, sealing me in. My first reaction was a bit of claustrophobia. I wanted out. I was about to try a couple of ways to break out when I felt energy flowing through me. The energy was very relaxing. I could hear the sound of a didgeridoo playing. I felt very relaxed and I fell asleep…

I was in a strange place. I looked around to see where I was. It was cold and snowing! I thought that was odd. I was thinking how rare it is to get snow. And there was sooooo much of it! I walked through the snow for a while until I reached a house. I was freezing my ass off so I knocked on the door. I just needed the phone. I was hoping I wasn't going to meet with some kind of psychopath. I was thinking I had parked my car somewhere around there but I couldn't remember where. I knocked on the door again. I would call my mother. This was going to be embarrassing, but at least I wouldn't have to walk all the way home in the snow. Finally the door opened and a man answered.

"Come in!" he said, "The party's just getting started!"

Party? "Wait! I just want to…" I started but the man walked away into the house.

"Close the door behind you," the man said as he left, "Drinks on the table to the left, munchies on the table to the right. Help yourself!"

I went into the house and closed the door. It was so warm in there compared to outside. There was music playing through the house. People were dancing, talking, drinking, eating… I didn't recognize any of them. I realized I was thirsty, though. I went to the drink table. I grabbed a coke and poured it over ice. On an impulse I added some rum from a bottle. Coke and rum. I felt bad, though. I shouldn't be drinking this person's drinks… I wasn't actually invited to this party. But he had told me to help myself… So as long as I wasn't greedy… I took a drink and felt warmth inside.

"Raven!" a man said from behind me. I turned to look. It was a man who was part jaguar and part human. But that's impossible! I looked at my Coke and rum. I couldn't be drunk on just one drink… No way… I must have been looking at the cat man with a puzzled look because he responded to it.

"Raven!" he said, "It's me! Nomad!" He produced a purple nerf ball from nowhere and threw it at me. I caught it.

"You're dreaming!" the ball said. Nomad had thrown a second ball, this one orange, right after the first. I wasn't able to catch that one… it hit me in the face.

"Do a reality check!" it said as it hit me. Maybe I should… I pinched my nose and tried to breathe. I could do it! I was dreaming!

"Nomad…" I said. I turned around and looked at the people around me. "And that's MoSh… and that woman hanging off of him must be Asuka…"

"You got it," Nomad said, "Let's do a group healing!"

"Healing?" I asked. I followed Nomad over to MoSh. I saw Basara was also there. Basara came over and gave me a big hug… and a kiss… We all headed into a back room. We sat down in a circle. MoSh and Basara were playing guitar. Nomad was playing didgeridoo. I was playing ocarina. The music was amazing. I was still playing that when everything faded to black and I woke.

I was at a party. I looked around. I didn't recognize the people there. I had a drink in my hand. I tasted it. Coke and rum. It was good. I drank some more of it. I walked through the party to see if there was anything I recognized. As I was walking someone hit me in the head with a nerf ball.

"This is a dream!" the nerf ball announced loudly.

Another nerf ball followed that one… and then another. I managed to catch the third but the second hit me in the arm.

"Do a reality check!" said the second ball.

"You're dreaming!" said the third.

I finally did a reality check. I pinched my nose and found I could still breathe. I was dreaming!

I looked at the people around me. I recognized some of them. MoSh. Nomad. Asuka.

Suddenly the entire house shook. I looked towards the front of the house. Everyone stopped dancing and looked. I headed for the front of the house and went out the front door. What the hell was going on? There was someone out there. A man in the air. He was flying. He was dressed entirely in black. Nomad and MoSh came out behind me. Visible waves of force emanated out from the man and hit everyone and everything around him. Nomad, MoSh, and I were thrown back into the house. I got up immediately and looked up at the man in the sky. He was throwing off another wave of energy. I used the song Whiplash by Metallica to send it back at him. But for some reason it didn't deflect all of it… The wall of force hit Nomad and MoSh on both sides of me. I pulled a Homer (D'Oh!) as I realized my idea had failed. I used Battery by Metallica to hit the attacker with a bolt of lightning. Nomad had transformed into a large jaguar and pounced on the attacker. Three big dogs also came out of nowhere. A black pit bull. A large shaggy dog. And an absolutely HUGE golden retriever.

All three of the dogs attacked the man in the sky jumping so high it looked like they could fly. Where was MoSh? An eevee ran past me from the house and jumped into the air. The eevee transformed into a dragon. A huge white dragon.

The dragon was shooting streams of electrified ice at the attacker. But where was MoSh? I had the feeling I had to find him. I went back into the house. The party was still going on. Everyone was drinking and dancing again. How could they be having a party with all of that chaos outside? I heard a huge explosion out there followed by a lot of cursing and someone telling someone else to never come back. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

I don't get it... almost the same dream twice?

I've done it before.
All in one night though.

Yeah. That sometimes happens. Two different versions of the same dream... it gets really confusing when I'm trying to recall them! I get them mixed up in my mind!

Weird.

Anyway, this is kinda off-topic and random, but do you guys have any idea where Selene disappeared to? She hasn't been in any of your dreams for a while now

She's still around, she usually showed up with Nomad... and he seems to only have time for his IWL girlfriend now!

I fell asleep with the goal of meeting with MoSh to go back and look a bit closer at a dream he had earlier. This seems a bit odd, but Q said it is possible as long as we don't interfere with the events we are watching. I fell asleep with my light / sound machine on and slipped into a WILD.

I was in the biodome on the moon. I looked around to see where I was. I wondered where Nomad might be. I didn't see him. I figured he would either show up soon or maybe he was off dreaming with Rachael. I sat down on the bench near the koi pond. I thought for a minute and then I remembered I was going to meet up with MoSh. I got up from the bench and I was going to open a portal to find MoSh. I didn't even get a chance to do that, however before Q and MoSh appeared in a flash of white light. It was MoSh's Q. My Q appeared shortly after that.

"Ok," MoSh's Q said, "I have found the point in space-time where you can observe the dream. Just be sure you don't interfere with it. I'll make you invisible."

"Me, too!" said Asuka as she appeared.

"By your time we'll be back in just a second," Q said to her, "We want to keep the number of people there to a minimum to keep the chances of someone noticing to a minimum."

"Awww…" Asuka said.

MoSh's Q snapped his fingers and the scene around us changed.

We were in a bar. Actually it seemed like I was floating over everything in the bar. I looked down. I was able to move around. It seemed like one of those cut scenes in a video game where you can adjust the camera view and see the action from different views. I could see a semi-transparent MoSh beside me. I could also see a solid MoSh on the floor. He was beside a jukebox. He wasn't pleased with the jukebox. He cursed at it and went over to a table with another man. The other man was drinking a cup of something hot that might have coffee. MoSh sat down at the table. They were talking about something I didn't understand. Keno? Ducks? I flew in right over them but I had no idea what they were talking about. There was a strange shadow moving into the other man who suddenly threw a punch at MoSh. MoSh blocked and twisted away. The other man had a dark aura now. MoSh utilized the Saotome Anything Goes School of Martial Arts Final Attack. He headed out the door. The man in the dark aura didn't follow.

MoSh and I followed, however. MoSH walked down the street towards a large building. There was a long driveway with grass on the sides. MoSh was approaching the building. A cop car pulled up behind MoSh. A cop got out and approached MoSh. The cop had a dark aura. I wondered if it was the same person from the bar. I looked at his energy closer. I recognized that energy… even through the dark energy… it was P. MoSh looked quite agitated. MoSh tried to get past the cop towards some kind of shed. It was a big shed. The cop grabbed his arm as he went past. MoSh cursed loudly at the cop now.

"I know what you want and you're not getting it!" he yelled at the cop, "So leave me the FUCK alone!"

The cop acted surprised by that reaction though it didn't look like sincere surprise. He told MoSh to calm down and asked if he wanted to press charges against the man who had attacked him in the bar. MoSh seemed to calm down a bit but still clearly didn't like the cop… and I couldn't blame him. The cop was still radiating dark energy in spite of his reasonable demeanor. I saw a shadow behind MoSh. It looked like a woman. She was dark. Kind of like the picture here but completely black and semi-translucent.

The dark woman specter was watching MoSh from behind him. She was radiating even more dark energy than the cop. She was giving the cop a dirty look and also sending him dark energy. She looked definitely unhappy about something.

MoSh was walking away from the cop now, towards the barn. The dream seemed to be going unstable. I saw MoSh focusing on something. I presumed he was focusing on stabilizing the dream. The cop went over to the dark woman specter. He was giving her dirty looks now. It was as if she had just told him he had fucked up and he had responded that it was her fault.

I tried to identify the woman's energy. It was not clear. There was too much dark energy around her to see through to identify her true energy. I got a bit closer but it seemed like she would notice me if I got any closer than that. I would have to clear some of the dark energy to see her true identity and I knew that was not acceptable since it would be actually interfering with the dream. Then the dream fell apart. It looked like when the world deconstructs at the end of a level of Assassin's Creed II. Like an artificial world un-forming and then building back up again. As it solidified I saw were we were…

We were back in the bar. I did a double take. MoSh was at the bar arguing with the bartender. I wondered what they were arguing about. I went over to see what was going on. But all I heard was a couple of f-bombs and then MoSh walked away. The people in the bar were all glaring at MoSh. There was dark energy surrounding them. I wondered if they would attack. He walked out the door and onto the street.

The world fell apart again… and reconstructed. We were at a police station. MoSh was talking to a cop… the same cop as earlier. The cop still had a dark aura, but MoSh seemed less aware of it this time. MoSh was describing the man at the bar from earlier and saying he was going to press charges. The specter woman was there, also. This time she didn't just watch. She attacked him this time. She was hovering in front of MoSh. It also looked like she was punching at him. But she wasn't using her arms. She was using strange dark energy forms. Not that it did her any good. MoSh blocked and dodged all of them as he returned her attacks. MoSh finally landed a punch right to her stomach, apparently knocking the wind out of her. I thought that was strange since she looked like a specter. She glared at MoSh, but her glare pales next to Vegeta's. She looked like she was about to try something. But then she took off. The world once again deconstructed like in Assassin's Creed II… but this time it didn't reform.

There was a flash of white light and MoSh and I were back in the biodome. Asuka was there. She went over and threw her arms around MoSh. I couldn't help but feel lonely. Someone put his arms around me. I turned to look and I saw that it was Altaïr. I was a bit surprised at that… but pleasantly surprised. I wasn't alone. Everything around me faded to black and I woke.

Amazing! I knew I had remembered some Sequences out of place. They weren't merged after all.

Let's compare this with my first dream of meeting P.

Dream 1: I was on some army base. There was a faction in that base that was under control of the New World order. I was standing with someone and he was pointing out the large guns the factions had. I looked closer to where he was pointing and i saw a man shooting down a civillian.

I began walking away hurriedly. I was hoping one of this faction would recognize me and try to kill me. i guess i didn't realize i was wearing a military uniform. A truck went past me filled with army men. I crossed the driveway into my bunker. I found my locker and began looking for a gun to defend myself with. All i could see was clothes, a duffel bag and another strange object. I was thinking "Fuck! i don't have a gun?? I'm in the army and i don't have a gun? WTF is up with this bullshit?"

Just then a man entered my room. he was with a woman but her image was obscured. she was a black shadow. I felt she didn't want me to recognize her. The man looked familiar. I had seen him somewhere before. He reminded me of someone i might have known in elementary school. but the feeling of recognition maybe dated back farther into a past life. His face glowed and he had short grey hair that seemed to blow in an invisible wind. but his face was young, more like his early twenties.

Note: I had seen very similar features to Raven Knight when i first recognized her in a dream.

I didn't think and mistook him as part of the faction of the NWO. I attacked him. We had a very fast fist fight. Neither of Us landed a hit. It seemed familiar. I saw an opening to hit his chest but i stopped because i realised i recognized him.

"Good to do this again" he said. "you've improved this time. where did you learn to fight like that?" He said as he and the woman sat down.

I said " Oh that's Hung gar style kung fu."

"what's that?" he asked.

me : you mean you've never heard of that? and you're a fighter? you know Tiger and...

The same shadow woman was with him.

The other man was drinking a cup of something hot that might have coffee. MoSh sat down at the table. They were talking about something I didn't understand. Keno? Ducks? I flew in right over them but I had no idea what they were talking about.



@Raven Knight: Did you come up with the idea that they were discussing Keno entirely on your own, or did you read about it in MoSh's dreams and/or discuss it with him prior to writing this entry?

I know absolutely nothing, perhaps less than nothing, about Keno except it somehow relates to gambling. MoSh's dream was from the 11th or 12th, so yes, I had already read it. And yes, MoSh and I planned on going to view this dream again.

People have probably told you before, but i'll say it....Your dreams would be great for short storys...Or you could extend them and make a novel and become rich....and give me some money and so on

Agreed!

I was in a strange place. I didn't recognize the location. It was a normal looking neighborhood. I was walking down the street. I wasn't alone. MoSh was right to my left. We were walking down the street together. I didn't realize I was dreaming. I saw a woman ahead of us. She was giving us a dirty look. She came over to us. She gave MoSh a dirty look. She then gave me a dirty look.. She said she couldn't believe there actually existed a woman who would be seen with MoSh. She looked at me a bit more and then said it's not like an ugly whore like me would have a lot of options. I said if I am ugly that is a good thing. With medical technology they can fix ugly. But sorry, bitch, there's no way to fix stupid. She glared at me and told me I was so pathetic that I deserved to be with a worthless loser like MoSh. I was pissed at her. I told her to take her worthless attitude and shove it the fuck up her ass. I told her if she was actually to be paired with the man she deserves she would find herself paired with a 75 year old drunk bum that she would have to drag home from the gutter every night… and even he deserved better than the likes of her. I told her to get the fuck out of our way. I shoved past her and headed for a building. MoSh seemed a bit surprised at my reaction but he followed me. I saw there was a woman behind him. It was Asuka. The woman said I should just rot with that piece of shit MoSh. I shoved her harder and she fell in the mud. I said it would be more fitting if she had fallen in a pile of shit. Then I realized the mud actually WAS shit. It was diarrhea. How could that be? It was disgusting! The woman was speechless. I went through the door into the building. I thought MoSh and Asuka were following me. When I got through the door, however, I realized I was in a different place entirely!

I was now in a city that looked like something out of the renaissance. And it was daytime instead of night. Somehow it didn't register how odd it was that I had just stepped through a door and several centuries at the same time. So I still didn't become lucid. I was disoriented, however. I walked along the street trying to look in every direction at once. I walked into someone.

"Sorry," I said without even taking the time to look and see who I had run into.

"Watch where you're going!" a man said rudely.

"I said I was sorry," I said as I looked up to see who it was. I was annoyed at the fact he was responding so rudely even though I had apologized. It was a guard with a sword.

"Get out of my sight," he snapped at me.

"And I will," I said, "I certainly don't want to look at your ugly face…"

"What did you say?" the guard demanded.

I was annoyed at the guard now, "I said you're a fucking hideous piece of shit with a face that can curdle milk and a B.O. problem that makes you smell like an elephant's ass!"

"That does it!" the guard said as he pulled his sword out, "You shouldn't have attacked me!"

"If I'd attacked you you'd know it," I said, "Because I'd take that sword and shove it so far up your ass it would come out your forehead and make you look like a unicorn!"

"That will cost you your…" the guard started.

"Cost me?" I demanded of him and shoved him back against the buildings, "Cost ME? As if looking at your ugly mug isn't punishment enough for the most heinous of crimes? Get the fuck out of my face before I rip your face right off of your head and cram it up your fucking ass!"

The guard seemed a bit stunned by my tirade. Someone put their hand on my shoulder.

"Never mind this," a man said from behind me, "She's a bit… shall we say disturbed?"

"Disturbed?" I asked, "Me? I'll show you disturbed! I'll show you disturbed when I shove your ugly face up his big fat ass and…" While yelling I had turned to see who I was cursing at… it was Altaïr! "uh… and… um… I see you don't have an ugly face to shove up his ass… actually… you're… um… you're hot…" I could feel a goofy smile forming on my face.

"Does this belong to you?" the guard asked Altaïr.

"I don't fucking belong to anyone you asshole!" I yelled at the guard, instantly pissed again.

"Come on, Raven," Altaïr said as he was directing me away from the annoying guard, "Let's go…" I finally followed Altaïr away from the guard. We quickly moved from the sight of the guard and into an alley.

"We're alone…" I said as I eyed Altaïr.

"We have to get going," Altaïr said.

"Going where?" I asked.

"You don't know?" Altaïr asked.

"If I knew would I be asking?" I asked, feeling annoyed at Altaïr now, "Why is it that no matter what I do everyone thinks I am a complete fucking moron? It's never going to change, is it?" I picked up a potted plant from beside a building and threw it across the alley. "It's hopeless… completely hopeless!"

"Raven…" Altaïr said with a concerned look on his face, "Are you ok?"

"No," I said, "Never ok. Not that it matters to anyone…"

"It matters to me…" Altaïr said, "but we have to go. The Templars set up a trap for Ezio… we have to make sure he gets out of it. Come on. We don't have much time."

I followed Altaïr farther down the alley. There was a manhole at the end of the alley. He opened it and we went down underground. We walked down a passage for a while.

"Who are you and what are you doing down here?" a voice said from a side passage. A Templar came out and was pointing a sword at us, "You don't belong down here!" He was pointing his sword at Altaïr and completely ignoring me. I was immediately pissed off at the Templar. I walked right over to him and stood behind him.

"Aren't you forgetting someone?" I asked the Templar.

"Stand aside," he said to me, "I'll take care of the Assassin!"

I looked down at what I was wearing. I was dressed in white robes like an Assassin. "You'll take care of the Assassin?" I asked the Templar, "And just what the fuck do you think I am? Let me guess. You think I couldn't possibly be an Assassin because I'm just some worthless woman? Are you a sexist bastard? I'll show you, you fucking asshole!" Witchblade formed into a sword and I ran it through the Templar. He collapsed to the ground. I stabbed him again… and again… and again… and again…

"Raven…" Altaïr said hesitantly, "He's dead…"

"Take that, you fucking Templar bastard!" I yelled at the dead Templar and stabbed him several more times. Someone was laughing at me. Someone was laughing maniacally. I looked around to see who was laughing… Altaïr was looking at me with a very worried look on his face. It wasn't Altaïr who was laughing. But who was it? I finally realized the source of the maniacal laughter was me… I made an effort to stop and tried to focus on stabilizing my energy. My legs felt weak and I dropped to my knees in the murky water. What was wrong with me? There must be something… "Altaïr… I don't feel well…"

"Maybe we should get back," Altaïr said, "You need healing." He held his hand out and helped me up.

"What about Ezio?" I asked, "Weren't we here to get to Ezio?"

"You come first," Altaïr said, "We've got to get you back."

"No," I said, focusing on stabilizing my energy, "I'm ok. I'm sorry… I didn't mean to be unstable…"

Altaïr seemed hesitant. "Are you sure?" he asked. He sounded concerned.

"I'm sure," I said, then I had to bite my tongue to keep from adding, "Not that it matters to you…"

"Ok," Altaïr said hesitantly, "Then let's make it quick… you need healing."

I followed Altaïr down the passage to what looked like a solid wall. Altaïr pushed on a brick that was protruding slightly and a passage slid open. Altaïr and I went down the hidden passage. There was a Templar near the end of the passage. He quickly found himself with Altaïr's hidden blade in his neck. A Templar was coming from the other direction to investigate and I took him out using my Witchblade sword. We headed down the next passage. At the end of the passage I saw there were four Templars in the middle of the passage. They were standing in about two inches of water. I motioned to Altaïr to stay out of the water and I also got out of the water. I used Battery and electrified the water, electrocuting all four Templars.

"This way!" Altaïr said as he found another secret passage near where the four Templars had been standing. He hurried down that passage. At the end of that passage was a room with three more Templars.

"He's in there," the one said, "And now he's dea… *glurk*"

The Templar had been standing next to a lever in the wall… now he was dead. I had a throwing knife on my belt. I pulled it out and threw it and somehow managed to stick it right in the other Templar's throat. Altaïr opened yet another secret passage. Ezio was in the next room. He came out. I shoved the third Templar inside the room. The door slid closed again. I could hear the Templar inside pounding on the door and yelling a lot. I pulled the lever the Templar had been looking at. I heard the Templar's pounding become more frantic and then I heard a lot of screaming before sudden silence. I wondered what had happened to him. Ezio was looking at the door, then he looked at me. Altaïr moved away from Ezio and over to the entrance as if looking to make sure there weren't any more Templars coming.

"We have to go," Altaïr said to me, "Now. Before Ezio gets too good a look at us."

I opened a portal to get home. Altaïr and I went through it quickly.

"Wait a minute!" Ezio called after us, but then the portal closed and I woke.

Raven Knight, have you seen the Legend of the Seeker show? You remind me of Kahlan.

Note: I fell asleep tonight with the goal of going to heal MoSh who said he had gotten some negative energies from A that was interfering with his contact with his Q and also with his dream recall. The plan was to meet on the moon to find Nomad and then do a healing. Basara said he will also come, and somehow I think it would be nearly impossible to keep Asuka away. I fell asleep with my light / sound machine and slipped into a WILD…

I was on the moon in the biodome. I looked around to see where I was. I was next to the koi pond where I usually seem to arrive there. I looked to see if there was anyone else there. Basara was sitting on the bench playing guitar. He looked up and smiled at me. I went over and sat on the bench next to Basara so I could feel close to him. He responded by putting his arm around me. I sat there in Basara's arms for a short time before a portal opened. Nomad came through the portal. I looked over at him and put on a deliberate confused face.

"Hey! Who are you?" I asked him in a not very convincing manner.

"Very funny," he said, obviously picking up on the sarcasm.

"It's been a few nights since I've seen you," I said.

"Or maybe it's just been a few nights since you remember seeing me," he said.

"We need to get MoSh," I said, "A went and attacked him again. What is with her? Why does she keep doing that?"

"She's mad at him," Nomad stated.

"But why?" I asked, "I guess it doesn't matter right now. Where is MoSh, anyway?"

As if in response to my question there was a flash of white light and two people appeared. It was Q, Ranma Saotome, and Akane Tendo. I did a double take at that… and immediately grabbed water from the pond and threw it on Ranma. Boy-type Ranma transformed into girl-type Ranma with the splash of cold water.

"What'd you do THAT for?" Ranma responded appropriately.

Nomad was giving me a strange look as if he thought I had gone completely nuts. I looked back over at girl-type Ranma… but now all I saw was MoSh, dripping wet. And the woman with him wasn't Akane… it was Asuka. But a minute ago it had been Ranma and Akane… I figured it was a perception issue.

"I thought I saw a Ranma…" I commented sheepishly.

"I looked like Ranma?" MoSh asked.

"And then girl-type Ranma…" I said.

'That's MoSh…" Nomad said.

"I can see that now," I said.

So now we did a healing that included Nomad, MoSh, Asuka, Basara, and me. Golden energy filled the healing glen in the biodome. The energy was so relaxing that once the healing was done everything around me faded to black and I woke.

I was in a strange place. It looked like a school. I was walking down a hallway. It was daytime, but there weren't any other people there. I walked down the hall for a bit into a courtyard. There were a couple other people there. I looked at them and I thought I recognized them. One of them was MoSh. The other was Asuka. I was about to say hello to them but I stopped myself as I saw them kiss. Ok. Not a good time. I would go elsewhere. I headed in the opposite direction from MoSh and Asuka. The hall I took led me to the athletic field. There was a game of soccer going on out there. Someone came over to me. It was just a DC. It was a woman of high school age. She seemed glad to see me.

"Hey!" she said, "We need a goalie! Can you play goalie? Sure you can! Come on!" She grabbed my arm and pulled me out onto the field.

"But I don't play soccer!" I yelled at her. I looked at my clothing. I was dressed in a soccer uniform. I thought that was odd since I don't even play soccer.

"You do now," the woman said as she dragged me over to the goal, "Just stand there. We'll keep the ball at the other end of the field. But we need a goalie or we forfeit! And we can't have that!" She ran off across the field to join the game.

I stood in front of the goal for a bit. It seemed like they were keeping the action on the other end of the field. I was actually quite bored. I thought I would work on making sure I did reality checks in dreams. I decided to do one right now. I pinched my nose and tried to breathe. I could still breathe. I was dreaming! I became lucid…

I was thinking this soccer game was completely pointless. I headed off the field when I spotted a woman on the field. She wasn't playing soccer. She was shrouded in shadow. I went over towards her. She wasn't paying any attention to me at all. I was standing right next to her before she even acknowledged my presence.

"Go away and play your little game, you stupid DC," the woman said. She tried to walk across the field but she seemed to hit a solid barrier. She was groping around it as if looking for a way through.

"So…" I said to her, "You're a mime?"

"Get lost, DC," the woman said to me again before returning her attention to the invisible barrier.

"There's nothing there, you know," I made a point of stepping through the area of the barrier several times to demonstrate that there wasn't really anything there.

"Go away before I grab a sword and cut you open," she said.

"And why would I care?" I asked, "I'm just a DC. It's not like I'm alive."

"Stupid DC's," the woman muttered.

I looked at the woman a bit more. I recognized her energy, even through the cloak of dark energy. It was A. I was thinking I was going to heal her… I would try to do that now. The first song that came to mind was Silver and Cold by AFI. I started singing the song. Apparently that didn't identify me as other than a DC.

"I... I came here by day, but I left here in darkness," I started, "And found you, found you on the way."

"What are you talking about?" A asked, "You stupid DC! Go away!"

"And now, it is silver and silent, it is silver and cold. You, in somber resplendence, I hold! Your sins into me, oh, my beautiful one, your sins into me, as a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer, and I'll beg for forgiveness, your sins into, your sins into me, oh, my beautiful one!" As the song played I was pulling the dark energy aura off of A and the dark energy was absorbed into the dark shard in my Witchblade for safe storage.

A was looking at me really strangely now, "You're not an ordinary DC," she said as she stared at me, "But then what are you? You're not her… or her… or…"

"Light, like the flutter of wings, feel your hollow voice rushing into me, as you're longing to sing. So I... I will paint you in silver, I will wrap you in cold, I will lift up your voice as I fall. Your sins into me, oh, my beautiful one, now, your sins into me as a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer, and I'll beg for forgiveness, your sins into, your sins into me!"

A was irritated now, "Alright, you," she said, "Who the fuck are you?"

I didn't answer her, "I'll fall asleep for you. I only ask you turn away. I'll fall asleep for you. I only ask you turn, now you see... into me, oh, my beautiful one!"

"It IS you!" A said as she was staring at me, "Where is she? Take me to her now!"

I once again ignored what she was saying, "Your sins into me, oh, my beautiful one, your sins into me, as a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer, and I'll beg for forgiveness, your sins into, your sins into me... oh, my beautiful one!"

More dark energy was drained off of A and into my Witchblade. The dark aura was now gone and I could see her clearly. She was looking at me really strangely.

"I want to see Sydney," she said.

"She's safe," I told her, "You just go home. You're in the wrong dream."

"Then take me to her!" she demanded.

"No," I said, "You have a lot of dark energy… even still… go home and rest. Let it go. Let the dark energy go."

"I'm not going anywhere until I see Sydney!" she insisted.

I opened a portal that was directed to getting her back home. I indicated the portal. "There. Just go home and rest. You'll need more healing, but that is enough for now."

"You're not trying to heal me, you bitch!" she said, "Now take me to Sydney before I…"

I hadn't waited for her to finish that threat. I converted the portal to a vortex portal. The vortex pulled her in and then closed the portal behind her. She was gone. I looked around the field. The game was over. There was a woman running towards me. She seemed in a really big hurry. It was Asuka.

"Raven!" she said, "What have you done?"

"Nothing," I said, slightly irritated at the vague and groundless accusations.

"That energy you pulled off of A!" she said, "It's poison! You could hurt yourself like that!"

I calmed down now. She wasn't accusing me of doing something wrong. She was actually expressing concern for my safety. "It's ok," I said, "My Witchblade has a dark shard that can contain that energy. And a white shard to counter the possible effects of the dark energy. Washu set it up like this for just such purposes. I'll be fine."

"No!" Asuka said, "Your balance is off… you need healing."

I didn't plan on objecting to being healed, but before we could say anything more everything around me faded to black and I woke.

I had a guy called Nomad in my dream. But not sure if it was nomad or not because it sounded weird like namad or some sort of accent but you reminded me of my dream.

Wow, that dream gave me chills.

what could cause someone to unkowningly hit a physical barrier that doesnt exsist?.. wouldnt someone have to have made it?

If you mean the barrier A encountered on the soccer field, I am thinking MoSh was the one who made it since this was in MoSh's dream world. I am figuring he created an invisible barrier most likely just to keep A and people like A out since A has been entering his dreams uninvited lately. Yeah, someone has to create the aspects of a dream world. When traveling to other dimensions that rule doesn't apply, though.

Is it Your birthday today Raven? I just wanted to wish you one. Let's have a dream BD party tonight.

My internet connection has slowed to a crawl. I hope you update your DJ more soon!

Note: My energy was very unstable tonight. I fell asleep like that. I fell asleep without the aid of my light / sound machine and thus I failed to slip into a WILD. The first goal of tonight's dreams was to be healed of this negative energy. And thus my first dream was taken up with a mutual healing in the biodome. The healing involved MoSh playing his guitar, Basara playing his guitar, Nomad playing his didgeridoo, I was playing my ocarina, Asuka, and Pablo. For most of the healing I was pretty out of it with the relaxing golden energy that was filling the biodome.

I was in a strange place. I didn't recognize the place. It was a long hallway. There were doors on both sides of the hall. I had the idea I was in a courthouse. I didn't want to be there. I was thinking I was there for my jury duty. I didn't know where I should go. I was thinking if I didn't figure it out pretty soon I would be late. And then I would be in trouble. I might be held in contempt… I sat down on a bench along the side of the hall. I didn't know what to do. Someone came up and sat down beside me. I was wondering if he might know where I was supposed to be. I looked up at him and I was about to ask him when I realized that I recognized him.

"MoSh!" I said, "But you live in Canada. Why would you be called to jury duty in the United States? In Arizona? It makes no sense at all!"

"Jury duty?" MoSh asked, "This isn't jury duty. We're here to find out what to do about these attacks from A and P."

"How about we rip P's dick off and shove it so far up his ass that he's giving himself a blowjob?" I asked.

MoSh laughed, "Yeah, but it's not P we're focusing on here," he said, "It's A."

I sat there on the bench for a couple minutes more. MoSh had some papers with him. He handed them to me. I looked at the papers. There were pictures on the papers. The papers looked like parchments. The pictures showed various scenes. Many of them included a woman shrouded in blackness. I looked through them. The woman in blackness was always somewhere near MoSh, who was also in many of the scenes. Actually it looked like MoSh was in all of the scenes. We were there for a while, and then the door to one of the court rooms opened. Q was there. Picard was there. He said he was ready for his witnesses.

"Witnesses for what?" I asked him.

"For the prosecution," he said and then he went back into the courtroom, leaving the door open behind him.

MoSh and I went through the door into the courtroom. I noticed someone following us. I looked and saw Nomad was there. I said it was a surprised to see him there. I looked at the front of the room. Q was there. He was dressed as a judge.

"Q!" I said, "What is going on?"

"Is that how you address a judge in his courtroom?" Q asked.

"What is this?" I asked Q, slightly taken aback at how he spoke to me.

"This is an official trial," Q said, "Take your seat!"

I wasn't sure what to say to Q. I didn't like the way he was talking to me. I went up to the front of the room and saw where I was supposed to sit. I was watching Q. He looked down at me and smiled, then he winked. It was the Q I know…

Due to the fact I don't remember a lot of details of what happened in this dream, I will just put the results:

The papers I had been looking at with MoSh were records of dreams where A has shown up in MoSh's dreams and attacked him. So there was no denying that these attacks have taken place.

So Q finally said it would be safest for everyone involved if A was to stay in her own dream world for now, inside a protective barrier that would keep her dream world isolated from the other worlds. Thus she would not be able to attack anyone else and at the same time external enemies would not be able to attack her. He said this should be maintained until the time when we could figure out how to cleanse the dark energy out of her, to heal her.
