Thread: Raven Knight's Dream Travels

I was at a big party. I looked around to see where I was. I saw lots of people I recognized. I was thinking there was something specific I should be doing. There was a role I needed to play… in a very important event. What event? My mind wasn't clear. I looked around. I saw Nomad. He was dressed up in a suit and tie, or maybe a tux. He looked really nice. I was thinking wherever he had dressed up to go, he certainly shouldn't be going there in the company of someone dressed as an Assassin. I walked away. I was going to stay out of Nomad's sight but then I caught a glimpse of my reflection in a shiny surface. I was dressed up… in a lavender kimono!

So I was ready to go into the party. I went back over to Nomad. He was the Best Man, I was the Maid of Honor. We walked in together.

I looked around the room and saw a lot of familiar faces. Basara waved at me. Q was at the front of the room. Angel blows Nomad a kiss. I walked down the aisle holding Nomad's arm. We soon got to the front of the room and went to our separate sides. MoSh was already there. He was dressed in a tux and looked a bit nervous. A mew was flitting around his head, and it seemed only to make him more nervous. The mew flew farther away and looked slightly dejected. MoSh saw that and motioned the mew to come back. He patted the mew, who now cheered up before flying away again. MoSh went back to watching the aisle nervously.

Finally the music started and the bride came into the room. She was walking down the aisle on the arm of a man I didn't recognize. The man looked like a samurai. The woman was Asuka, and she looked beautiful.

Kind of like this photo but with a flowered veil on her head. She walked down the aisle and then the man, most likely her father, passed her hand over to MoSh. I saw him whisper something and then he sat down.

The wedding ceremony was a beautiful thing to watch. It looked like some kind of handfasting ceremony combined with the use of a traditional ring exchange. Q went through a ceremony, much of which I could not understand… and they were married. MoSh and Asuka kissed… and kissed… and kissed… until Nomad finally jokingly told them to save something for the honeymoon!

They went back down the aisle, and people were congratulating them. I congratulated them with a hug each. I noticed they had not gone far before a cute fox jumped from the crowd and decided to congratulate them with a lick to the face! The cute fox seemed to be laughing about something and hopped off into the crowd again. I was disappointed. He was so cute I wanted to follow the fox and pet it. He had seemed friendly…

"Awww…" I found myself saying, "Come back, little foxy!"

The fox actually responded! I was surprised at that. The fox jumped back out of the crowd and ran over to me. He jumped into my arms and almost licked my face… and did get me a little.

"Wow!" I said to the fox as I petted it, "You really are friendly! And so cute! I immediately like you!"

"Pablo!" Nomad called at me… no… not at me… at the fox, "What are you doing?"

The fox was Pablo? It made sense, but that took me slightly by surprise and gave him an opening for a full slurp on my face. He seemed to laugh and jumped down and ran at Nomad.

"No, no!" Nomad said, "You don't have to go licking me, bro!" Nomad disappeared into the crowd with a fox after him. I couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone was moving about and talking now. I left my position. I noticed a table full of presents. One of them was a small package that said, "To MoSh and Asuka from Raven" on it. I couldn't remember what it was.

"Psst!" came a voice from the curtains near the side of the room, "Raven!"

"What?" I asked as I looked. There was a woman peeking from behind the curtains. She looked very nervous. She quickly ducked back behind the drapes.

"Hey Raven!" Nomad said from behind me, "What are you looking at?"

"Um…" I said as I looked, "Nothing, I guess…"

"Well then come on!" he said, "We're eating!"

I followed Nomad to a large table with lots of food on it. I felt distracted, though. Something seemed off. Was it the strange woman? Was she a threat? Why had I chosen not to mention her to Nomad? I had questions, but no answers. And I didn't want to ruin MoSh and Asuka's day. We sat at the table. I was to the left of Asuka and to the right of Joseph. I picked at the food without even noticing what it was. Joseph noticed I was distracted.

"Raven," he said, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah," I said, "I just have to check on something."

I impatiently waited for my chance to leave. Finally it came. I went directly back to the curtain I had seen the woman behind. I looked behind it. There she was. She was pacing nervously. There was something familiar about her energy… she was a fucking Templar viewer! What was she doing here?

"What do you want here?" I asked her, not too friendly even though I was not trying to be hostile since she hadn't actually done anything.

"It's not what you think," she said, "I have to tell you something. The presents that your friends are going to open… two of them are rigged with dark energy."

"What?" I asked.

"I don’t have long," she said, "They'll kill me for treason if I am caught here… but there are children here. If those things go off with children around… I am a mother, and I can't imagine someone harming my children... I told them there would be children here, but they didn't seem to care. Children! Innocent children!"

"So you're here to protect the children?" I asked.

"Yes," she said, "There are two packages that are dark energy bombs. Both are wrapped the same. Silver paper with red writing. The writing just says 'Congratulations' on it. No names. Please get to them before they go off… We may not agree about much, but I think we do agree that innocent children should be left out of adult disputes."

"Ok…" I said, "I'll get them out of here."

"I have to go," she said. She turned to leave, but hesitated. "Nomad isn't in that direction, is he?"

"You're worried about Nomad?" I asked.

"I have heard things about him…" she said, "I'd rather not meet him…"

"I think he's still in the dining hall," I said.

"Ok…" she said, "Even your security system decided I don't have hostile intent, but I don't think Nomad would listen."

"How did you guys get the bombs in there?" I asked.

"Teleportation," she said, "When the other gifts were gathered, these were slipped in with the rest. And the dark energy is highly cloaked. I didn't know if it would be spotted before it was too late. Get to it quickly. It's going to go off soon." With that she hurried around a corner and out of sight.

I returned to the reception. There were more people there. Orcs. Lots of orcs. And imp like creatures! What the fuck? What were they doing here? Weren't they just more remote viewers? And why were they here if the bombs were about to go off? Suicidal? Looking to cause trouble in the chaos? Well they wouldn't get their chance. And right now they weren't being hostile. I went to the table filled with gifts. Just as the Templar woman had said, there was a silver gift at each end of the table. In silver paper with red writing on it. They were relatively small and inconspicuous gifts. I picked up both and slipped them quickly into my robes without being seen. I didn't want anyone to think I was robbing the newlywed couple. Now to get them somewhere they couldn't cause any harm.

I carried the gifts outside and looked around. I was standing outside the Temple of Gawn from my game. I hadn't even recognized the interior decorated for the wedding! I kept going until I left the protective field of the biodome. I looked at the packages. They looked harmless. But how could I take that chance? I opened a portal to the void and threw them through. I watched through the portal briefly… and sure enough… the packages both exploded in a blast of black smoke. The portal closed before the blackness reached it. Whew! That was close. The woman was still there. I saw her.

"You're still here?" I asked.

"I had to know for sure that you had gotten them," she said, "Now I have to go."

"Thank you," I said, "For the children, of course… have we met?"

"No," she said, "I have never been here before. And I have to go. I can't stay hidden much longer." She hurried away and then disappeared.

I returned to the party. I had missed the cutting of the cake! Damn! MoSh and Asuka were opening gifts. I wondered if they noticed the two missing. My gift to them was a pair of amulets that will keep them connected psychically, and by their energy, no matter how far apart they are. They both put the amulets on. They seemed to like them. I felt disoriented. I was about to wake up. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

I was in a beautiful place. It was right next to a koi pond. It was a very familiar place. I was thinking I had to do something… send a mail. No… send an owl. I was going to send a fresh loaf of bread by owl. I went to a tree near the pond. The tree was sprouting loaves of bread. I grabbed one that was still steaming. I didn't notice what kind it was. I wrapped it in a package, added a message, summoned an owl, and told the owl to deliver the bread to Loaf.

A portal opened and Nomad came through. He looked like his part jaguar / part human form. He asked me if I was lucid. He didn't wait for an answer. He pegged me with a purple nerf ball.

"This is a dream!" the ball announced as it hit me.

"A dream?" I asked, "So it is!" But I only became semi-lucid.

"So where is this 'Rose' person?" Nomad asked.

"An apartment in Tucson," I said, "I can get us there. But first to pick up Allison…" I focused on a portal to find Allison. A portal opened, but there was a barrier in the way. Words were on the barrier. DO NOT DISTURB! Uh… "I think Allison might be busy… we'll have to do more than one…" Now I opened a portal to the apartment Allison had been staying in. Nomad and I went through…

On the other side we were on the street called Mountain Avenue. The apartment building was right next to us. I saw Rose come out of the apartment. She called kitty, kitty. She had a dish of food. She looked at Mountain. I looked as well and saw two cats look up from across the street. Both of them took off to run towards Rose. But there was a truck coming! The size of a UPS truck! Those poor kitties would get squashed! No! I couldn't let kitties get hurt! I ran forward faster than I knew I could and snatched the cats up, one in each arm and dove out of the way of the truck. The truck honked, screeched its tires as it swerved the other way, and the driver called me fucking crazy, but the cats and I were safe. I carried the cats back over to Nomad.

"They're safe," I panted.

"You do know those are DC's, right?" Nomad asked.

"Uh…" I started.

"Oh, thank you!" Rose said as she came running over, "You saved my babies!" She reached for the cats but I pulled them away from her.

"Are you the asshole who lets these innocent kitties wander outside?" I asked, "Or did they get out by mistake, in which case you're just careless?"

"What?" she asked, stunned by my behavior. The rancid smell of cigarette smoke wafted over from her.

"And you smoke, too?" I asked, "You do realize that can give other animals cancer, right? Second hand smoke can kill dogs and cats!"

"Now wait a minute here!" she said, "I can take care of my cats however I want to! Now hand them over!"

"But you don't take care of them," I said, "With your method, they're dead now. So they're mine. If you have any concern for their wellbeing, know that they will be loved, cared for, and PROTECTED." The cats rubbed their faces on me and purred. Rose reached for them. They responded with hisses and swats with their claws.

"You can't take my babies!" Rose protested.

"Your babies are dead," I said, "You let them roam, they got hit by a truck. You should've thought of that before you let them outside! You have to earn the privilege of having cats, and you have not. So now you lose them." I turned and walked down the street with her cats. She started to follow me. Nomad had been a bit confused by my reaction to a DC cat, but he blocked her from following.

"Don't fuck with the moon people, bitch!" he told her, "Lost your cats and your tenant in one night… you suck!"

A tiny puppy ran from the apartment and into the street only to get hit by a car and killed.

"NO!" Rose screamed as she ran to the puppy's lifeless body.

"Sorry," Nomad scoffed, "A tenant, two cats, AND a dog. You REALLY suck!" Rose was cradling the puppy's body in her arms as everything faded to black and I woke. Hopefully she would learn something…

just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! for the epic birthday dream!

HAHA!

I remember that dream. That was one was first, then the one I entered. hehe

I was back at the apartment building where Rose lives and Allison lived until last night. Nomad was there with me. I was somehow immediately semi-lucid. I remembered what we were doing there. I wanted to find Allison and bring her there. I focused on opening a portal to find Allison. A portal opened and I went through it. Nomad, apparently thinking he had been completely ignored, pegged me in the back of the head with a nerf ball that said, "Your dreaming!"

"I know!" I called back to Nomad. On the other side of the portal I was in a park. Allison was watching Lacie run and play. The dog was having so much fun. Chewy was riding on Lacie's back. It was quite interesting.

"Psst," I whispered in Allison's ear, "You're dreaming! It's payback time. Let's go."

"But what about Chewy and Lacie?" Allison asked.

"They'll be fine together here," I said, "This is a good place." I led Allison through the portal back to the apartment.

The dream going on there took up where the previous one left off. Rose was calling her cats for feeding. The two cats ran into Mountain Avenue, right in front of a UPS truck. I had to fight the urge to run out and save the DC cats again. I closed my eyes and I heard tires squealing, a sickening thud and a brief yowl followed by another sickening thud. I hugged both Nomad and Allison. I was crying.

"The kitties…" I cried, "the kitties…"

"They were DC's," Nomad said, "They're not real. But now they get their revenge. Pick a cat."

I wiped my eyes and looked over at the street. Rose was crouched by the two dead cats. It was her fault they were dead! She had let them outside where they would be in danger. I was mad at her… no… not just mad… I was pissed. I saw Rose leave the two cats on the street. I walked over to the place where the tabby cat lie motionless. I scooped the lifeless cat into my arms. "I'm sorry, kitty…" I said to the cat, "I could have saved you… but I didn't… I could have… I should have…" I was holding the dead cat tightly in my arms. I felt horrible for not saving the cat.

"Meow?" said an orange spotted cat from beside me. The cat was the other one who had been hit by a car… but the cat was alive! How could that be? I looked back at the cat in my arms. As dead as ever. Then reality shifted… the cat dropped to the ground… and then I was the cat! I was a dead cat? But I wasn't dead. I got up and looked at the other cat. It was Nomad. Where was Allison? I looked around and didn't see her. I looked at the cat that was Nomad. It was wrong. He was moving but still looked like a corpse. I wondered if I looked like a corpse cat. We both headed back into the apartment area.

Rose was just going into the apartment. She was moving rather slowly. Nomad (in cat form) walked up behind Rose and hissed loudly. Rose turned around and saw the cat. She leaned over and went to pick up the cat. But the cat responded with a hiss and swatted at Rose's face. Rose jumped back suddenly, looking shocked.

"You KILLED us!" Nomad hissed at her.

"No I didn't!" Rose protested, "I love you!"

I went over beside Rose and hissed at her. "You FAILED to protect us, bitch!" I hissed at her.

"I took good care of you!" Rose said.

"You KILLED us!" both of us hissed at the same time.

"Now it's time for you to DIE!" a snarling / hissing roar came from behind us. I turned around and saw a very intimidating sight. There was a huge tiger there. A HUGE tiger. Not just an angry tiger, a FURIOUS tiger!

Both Nomad and I just stepped aside for what I knew was Allison, or in this form, a vengeful tiger goddess! She was radiating power and anger. Rose turned pale. She seemed petrified for a bit and then she took off running in a blind panic. Allison, the vengeful tiger goddess, took off after her. One lunge and she pinned the bitch to the ground. She opened her mouth huge and roared right in Rose's face as if she was about to literally rip the bitch's face off. I could tell the tiger was laughing at the look of terror on Rose's face. The tiger drooled on Rose's face. The tiger was a truly terrifying sight. If I hadn't been dreaming I would have been afraid. And Rose was terrified. She was cowering and begging for her life. Allison roared again. It didn't sound like a single vengeful tiger roaring… it sounded like about a thousand vengeful tigers roaring in unison. The sound was deafening. Windows on the buildings nearby shattered. Rose screamed and was begging for her life. It was sooooo pathetic! Everything around me faded to black and I woke.

Note: I don't remember the beginning of this dream. It seemed to start in the beginning. I was back at the apartment where Allison had lived until last night. Nomad was beside me. He changed into a girl. A Japanese girl. He / she went over to the door and knocked. He / she had a paper in her hand. He / she knocked and the door was opened. Rose was at the door. I focused on transforming into a fly. The transformation was successful. I buzzed over near Nomad and Rose to hear what was going on.

"Um… hi," Nomad said hesitantly, "I'm here about the ad in craigslist and…"

"Come in!" Rose said brightly. The foul odor of smoke wafted over from Rose. Rose offered Nomad a cookie. It looked like chocolate chip. Nomad thanked her and ate the cookie. Rose gave Nomad a brief tour, which didn't take long since the place wasn't very big. The place reeked of stale smoke poorly disguised by incense. Some of the smoke smell had a sweet tinge… I thought it might be pot…

"So," Rose said, "Do you have any pets? Do you smoke?"

"No pets," Nomad said, "And I don't smoke."

"Don't worry about the smoking," Rose said, "I only smoke outside. And I have two cats, but they go outside a lot of the time.

"I love cats," Nomad said, "But I don't have any right now. Too busy with classes."

"You're in school?" Rose asked hesitantly. I wondered if she was concerned about the cash flow of a student.

"Yeah," Nomad said, "I go to the U of A. Pre-med. Following after my mom and dad's career. They are so awesome about this. Since they're doctors they can pay for everything! It's much easier than having to work."

Rose seemed to brighten. "So, they're doctors, huh?" I could almost see the dollar signs in Rose's eyes.

"So," Nomad said hesitantly, "About the rent… I sometimes get forgetful when I get really busy, so I hope you don't mind if I pay a lot in advance. My parents gave me the allowance and it would be easier to just give it all to you now." He scribbled on a paper and handed it to Rose. Her jaw briefly dropped.

"Actually this is great," she said, "I was actually planning a vacation. Could you take care of the cats while I'm gone? Don't worry about the bills, they're all paid. Ok. I gotta go. Here are the keys… here's my cell number if there is an emergency, but don't call it… see you!" She hurried out the door.

I changed back to my normal form. Nomad was pulling things out of his shirt. He was also playing with himself…

"There's a PERVERT in the LIVINGROOM!" I yelled and threw something across the room. I grabbed and threw a vase. It crashed into the TV and smashed both.

"I'm not a pervert!" Nomad said, "I'm a transvestite!"

A lot of people appeared. It was a huge party! Music boomed through the apartment. Not only were people not trying to avoid breaking things, people were breaking things on purpose! I joined in the chaos. Dumping trash all over. Smashing things into the walls. Breaking windows. There was a lot of food in the trash. Dogs and cats came in to eat the food. An owl swooped in through the broken window and dropped a loaf of bread on one of the people there… it was Loaf! One of my owls had just dropped a loaf of bread on Loaf! I wondered which loaf of bread it was. Loaf held it for a minute and then threw it. It exploded and took out a part of a wall. The place was trashed. I saw Allison jumping on something until it broke. Parts of the ceiling were collapsing. A faucet was missing and there was water spouting everywhere. A cat had pulled a chunk of meat from the fridge and was eating it. A wolf was tearing the beanbag chair apart. Loaf was eating a large bit of… the wall?! I asked what he was doing. He said it tasted like gingerbread. I noticed the lock in the door was turning. Nomad saw, too.

"Hide!" Nomad said, "She's back!"

Nomad turned into a transvestite Japanese girl / guy. He had a stiffy. A very visible stiffy. He grabbed a beer. He chugged half of it, got half of it all over himself and started acting drunk. The door had to push a lot of crap out of the way to open and then Rose came in. Her jaw dropped.

"What the FUCK happened to my apartment?!" she yelled.

BRAP! Nomad burped and threw the empty beer can aside, "Oh! I didn't realizzzze you'd be ba… ba… back so soon!" He sounded drunk, "Damn! I gotta piss! You mind?" He whipped out his dick and started whizzing on the floor. He spelled out the word NOMAD. He drew a couple designs in piss around the name.

"You're a man?!" Rose asked.

"I'm an Aaaaaasian man," Nomad said, "You're not a racist prick, are you?"

"No!" she said, "I'm not racist, but you're a MAN! And what the FUCK happened to my apartment?! I have a DEPOSIT on this place! It's trashed!

Nomad continued pissing all over the place. He was spelling things out but I wasn't sure what. I saw a couple of words, though. I saw BITCH and ASSHOLE and a few other things.

"Quit PISSING on the floor and get OUT of here!" Rose screamed.

"But it'sssss all for you…" Nomad said.

The entire place turned into a party. There was a big cake that said HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSE and had about a hundred candles.

"I'm not that old!" Rose yelled.

Allison shoved a piece of cake in Rose's face.

"YUCK!" Rose yelled, "It tastes like SHIT!"

"It IS shit!" Allison yelled. Nomad was pissing on Rose. A wolf was crapping all over the place. It was complete chaos. Exploding bread was flying. It was really quite disorienting. I think a cop showed up, but the cop was retarded. He didn't speak English. There were fires in the corner. A fire truck showed up. But it was a child's fire truck. It extinguished the fires with sewer water. The smell was rancid. And then suddenly it was quiet…

The house was perfect, Rose was in the bean chair. She woke up suddenly.

"What a dream…" she said.

Chewy jumped up and lifted his leg, peeing in her face. Zombie cats came in through the window, breaking it as they came, and started tearing everything apart It was complete chaos again. I was getting disoriented again. Everything faded to black and I woke.

I finally got lucid last night. I had this dream that you visited me in a blimp.
Oh and I made myself get bitten by vampires many many times. Ha ha.

I was in a beautiful place. I looked around. I saw there was a koi pond there. I saw a bench beside the koi pond. I felt a bit tired so I sat beside the koi pond and looked in at the fish. I let my mind wander as I watched the fish. It was quite relaxing.

"Raven?" a woman said from behind me. I did a double take. I had thought I was alone. I turned around to see who was there. There was a Templar behind me! A woman Templar. She must've seen the surprise on my face because she immediately said she was the one I had spoken with last night. Last night? What the fuck? This was a bit confusing. My mind wasn't working right. I looked back at the fish to clear my mind.

"Remember?" she said, "At the wedding? There's more that I want to tell you."

I thought for a bit more. I did have memories. MoSh and Asuka getting married. Two of the presents were dark energy bombs. But one of the Templars had warned me because she didn't approve of children being in danger. That was her. She was back. And furthermore, if she was in the biodome, she couldn't be hostile. The biodome? This was a dream? It must be. I became lucid… or at least semi-lucid.

I turned back to the woman Templar. "Yes. I remember. Thanks for the warning. I didn't expect you to come back. What's up?"

"I have more important information," She said, "There are some people that are particularly without morals. There is a hidden base and they are planning some horrible things. I was hoping you would… Oh, shit… I gotta get out of here…"

"What?" I asked. I turned and looked where she was looking. Nomad was there. He was giving her a really nasty look. I was hoping there wasn't dark energy to deal with. The woman disappeared. I focused on bringing her back, but a bit farther from Nomad. "Wait a minute… I'll explain everything to him. You're not in danger."

"No…" the woman answered telepathically, "I've seen the reports of what he has done to other viewers who have come here. I'm leaving…"

"Just give me a chance!" I said to her out loud, "I'm here! And no one is going to get hurt here!"

"Serena Royale!" Nomad said, suddenly changing his attitude, "Shit! I didn't mean to scare you! Come back!"

"That's not Serena Royale," I told Nomad, "But don't attack her! She's not an enemy!"

"Serena Royale?" the woman asked tentatively, "She's dead. They found out what she was trying to do. And they… they… they killed her."

Nomad looked at the woman Templar suspiciously. I saw strange transparent tendrils reach from his head towards hers. She tried to avoid that.

"NO!" she cried, "Stay away from me!"

"Nomad!" I said, "Don't hurt her! I won't let you!"

"Calm down," Nomad said, "I'm not trying to hurt her… just verify if she is an enemy. It's a telepathic scan, nothing more. It won't hurt."

"It's ok," I told the woman, "Just let him get his proof. He won't hurt you." I shot a stern look at Nomad. The woman, clearly reluctantly, allowed the tendrils to touch her head. Nomad pulled them back almost immediately. I wondered what that meant. At first he looked pissed. Had he found something bad? From the look on his face he was about to tear her apart. Maybe I should do a telepathic scan of my own… but I wanted to see for myself, not just have him kill her. He reached and actually tore something disgusting and black and dripping with slime out of his own head. Blech! He threw that on the ground and stomped on it then burned it. The Templar woman no longer looked afraid of him, just grossed out. Nomad looked over at me. He said she was the same as Serena Royale… but she couldn’t be allowed to be caught like Serena had. We'd have to be more careful.

"I can show you where the hidden base is," the woman said, "But I can't go with you. I can't let them see me with you."

"Ok," I said, "So I guess we'll have to do this through astral projection. Ok. I could use help with that part… I wonder if Malkus is willing to help…" I opened a portal to where Malkus was. He looked through the portal and then came through. He seemed a bit confused.

"You were looking for me?" Malkus asked.

"Yeah," I said, "We need your help with the Templars in our dimension. They keep spying on us, and they tried to deliver dark energy bombs to MoSh and Asuka at their wedding. Really all we want is to be left alone."

"Ok," Malkus said. "Here. Q took me back to my home world where the Templars kept these. I could AP naturally, but they were trying to use these amulets to get more people to be able to do it. Minor success, but maybe enough to help." He handed several amulets around. I tool one and looked at it. The pendent looked a bit like the photo of the silver merkabah with the marble gem inside,

but the marble gem was a smaller version of the one with the 3d merkabah gem inside it.

A merkabah gem within a merkabah shaped amulet. It was interesting, and rather pretty. I liked the effect when looking into it. I was still staring at it when Nomad touched me on the shoulder and asked if I was still with the living.

"No," I simply answered and put the amulet on.

The shape of the merkabah seemed to expand around me… and then we were in a different place. It looked like an underground installation of some kind. I noticed for the first time that MoSh was with us. Q handed him some small gems. He said they were white energy bombs as a response to the dark energy bombs. He said they would go off and deplete any supply of dark energy in the area. He said it was actually quite a bit friendlier than the dark energy bombs left at the wedding, but giving the Templars extra dark energy would not be productive. MoSh took some of them. A mew flew from behind MoSh and took more of them. The two of them disappeared.

"Nomad?" Q said. But Nomad was gone. I wondered where he had gone. Had he woken up? I heard someone scream down the hall. Q rolled his eyes. "So much for a stealth operation…" he said. He turned to me. "Ok. We need to set up a shield around this place so they can't astral project from here. The idea was to make it undetectable. Make them think they were still doing it while showing them a contained dream world. But I think Nomad may have blown our cover. We'll still try it, but it probably won't work now. A special merkabah shield should do the trick. Use your amulet. I'll guide you.

I focused on the amulet. A glowing merkabah shape formed outside of it and started growing. I heard more screaming from the direction Nomad had gone… and something about don't fuck with the moon people. Q rolled his eyes but we kept focusing on the merkabah amulet. The merkabah field grew until it didn't fit in the room and then it was no longer visible. But I could still feel it. Finally it seemed to lock in place.

"Might someone get locked away from their body?" I asked Q.

"No," Q said, "It will let anyone currently outside back in, but not out again. And it won't let outsiders in, either. It's time for us to get out of here. He snapped his fingers.

We were back in the biodome. I saw Batman sarcastically complimenting Nomad on his stealth. Everything around me faded to black and I woke.

I was not playing with myself. I just was feeling to make sure I still had my manhood. HAHAHAHAHA

Note: I fell asleep really depressed and upset. I almost tossed my light / sound machine aside but I thought I needed to make sure and do a WILD to the hot springs on the moon to try to heal myself a bit. Besides, it might feel nice. I fell asleep with this in mind and slipped into a WILD…

I was in the biodome. I was near the koi pond, though. I wanted to do something. I went over to the bread tree. I picked the first loaf of fresh bread I found. I summoned butter and ate the bread while watching the koi… and shared some bread with the koi. Delicious fresh bread! But I was still depressed. So depressed. I didn't want to go back to my waking life. I wanted to stay there. Or better yet, leave for another dimension and not bother coming back. A fantasy dimension where I could make a living using my magical powers. Anywhere but the world I was born into.

I finished my bread and tossed the last bit to the happy fish. I went back to the bread tree. I didn't want more bread. I picked a fresh loaf and wrapped it up with a message. I summoned an owl and sent the bread off, telling the owl to deliver the bread to Loaf… as if that was ever going to happen. As if hearing my thoughts and thinking I was blaming him, the owl returned and pecked me on the head a couple of times before taking off again. Ow! Stupid owl…

I slouched my way through the biodome to the hot springs. I was glad to see there was no one there. I wanted to be alone. I thought someone else might show up at the springs, though. I wanted to be sure I wasn't noticed. I slipped into the springs and down to the bottom. I could easily breath the warm water. I sat on the bottom of the springs and focused on cloaking my energy. It was a deep spring and no one would see me… or maybe they would. The water was very clear. I focused on shrinking myself to a tiny size and then swam under a rock. I would be hidden there. I lied back and breathed deeply of the warm water. It felt good. I was still depressed, but a bit more relaxed. I was still sooooo depressed. I knew everyone looks down on me. What else can I do? What is there that I can do that will result in other people not always looking down on me? In everyone not laughing at me? I know people need to think of someone as below them so they don't feel crappy about themselves, but why must it always be me? I was crying underwater somehow. I could feel tears coming out and dispersing into the water. But at least no one was there to see me. No one was there to mock me. If I entered the dream on Dreamviews people would laugh and mock me then… but for now it was private. And besides, everyone already looks down on me… so it's not like anything would change.

As I lied on the bottom of the spring I noticed there were people in the spring. I slunk back farther under the rock to keep from being seen. I don't know who it was out there. I didn't look because I didn't want to be seen. I continued to feel more relaxed until I completely fell asleep right there on the bottom of the hot spring.

I was in a bar. I looked around. Most of the people there were in a celebratory mood. I didn't really care. I was depressed. I was sitting at a table by myself. I wanted a drink. I knew using alcohol when depressed is just asking for trouble, but I didn't really care. A waiter came over. He was kind of hot. I stared at him for a bit before I realized he had asked what I wanted to eat or drink. I ordered a Coke and rum. He said coming right up. He walked away. I watched the rest of the room. I saw a waitress that caught my attention. She was arguing with a customer, a man. I didn't hear everything, but she was being threatening and rude. She was a tall woman with long hair. She towered over the man, but that clearly didn't intimidate him at all. He was right in her face, confronting her rudeness.

"Here you go, ma'am," the hot waiter had returned and handed me a glass. I thanked him and he left. I was thinking if I wasn't so fucking depressed I would enjoy having a hot waiter like him. I drank from my Coke and rum. It was good. Made just right. I felt a warm feeling inside. Not enough to dispel the depression. I looked back at the scene between the man and the waitress. She had made some rude remark and was about to walk away. He grabbed her long hair. Apparently he hadn’t finished what he was saying. She stopped suddenly and turned around. She cursed fluently at the man. The man said something about her getting his drink wrong.

"Hey!" I called, "You can come over here! The waiter over here has a brain! He makes a great Coke and rum, at least!"

The man turned and looked over at me. The waitress glared at me. I took another drink of my Coke and rum. The waitress was not pleased.

"You stay out of this, you bitch!" she yelled at me, "Or I'll have your ass thrown out of here!"

I finished off my Coke and rum. I pointed at the empty glass. "A paying customer?" I asked, "I thought you needed those!"

The waiter took my gesture to mean I wanted another and quickly delivered one with a smile. I thanked him and he took the empty glass. I started nursing that one a bit slower. I didn't think I had enough money for 20 of them!

"Here's your drink, asshole!" the waitress said and she dumped a glass of something on the man. I stood up, wondering if the staff here could really get away with such things. She stormed in my direction, walking directly into me and spilling my Coke and rum all over me.

"Watch where you're going, bitch!" I said.

"Then get the fuck out of my way, bitch!" she yelled at me. She shoved me aside and kept going.

"But my rum's gone!" I called after her, "Why's my rum gone?"

"You drank it, you drunk bitch!" the woman called back before disappearing into the back rooms.

"I'm going to complain about her," the man she had been arguing with said.

"My rum's gone…" I said as I looked sadly at my empty glass.

The man signaled the waiter and told him to get me another of what I had, he would cover that one. The waiter nodded and left.

"Wow…" I said, "Thanks." I smiled at the man.

Without a complaint being filed, management came out with the rude waitress. Apparently the waitress wanted us thrown out. A man wanted to know what had happened.

"I saw her deliberately dump a drink on him," I said, "and then she walked right in to me and made me spill my drink, then she called me a fucking drunk bitch and left. I've only had one! I'm not drunk!"

The man had an even longer list of complaints. Apparently the waitress had screwed up his drink. When he called her on it and wanted it replaced, she had gotten mad and left only to send a big guy over to rough the man up… which hadn't worked. The smaller man was a better fighter than he might appear. Then, mad because the bigger guy had failed to beat up the smaller one, she had come back and been cursing in his face. She had remade the drink, but was charging for the bad one. Then she dumped the new drink on him. That was just before she stormed into me and made me spill my drink. It got rather convoluted… but she was clearly a bitch. Management listened to her story… the man had copped a feel… had been disrespectful… something about blowing smoke in her face… but they weren't paying much attention. A couple of bouncers came over. She smugly thought the man and I were getting thrown out, but they dragged her out. I heard one tell her if she came back she would be arrested for trespassing. And in case it wasn't clear enough, she was FIRED. She was protesting, but no one was listening. I saw the bouncers literally throw her out on her ass.

The manager was apologizing profusely. He gave us both coupons for free drinks and practically begged us not to leave. The waiter returned with my drink.

"Thanks for the drink," I said to the man when the manager left, "My name is Raven."

The man sat down with me and ordered his free drink from the waiter. "MoSh," he said.

"What?" I asked. I wasn't sure I had heard that right, "Did you just say mush?"

"No," he laughed, "MoSh. My name."

That name sounded strange… and strangely familiar at the same time. I was staring at him. I quickly looked away, I didn't want to be rude… but where had I seen him before? The next thought that entered my mind was the anime series Ranma 1/2. But he looked nothing like Ranma! Why was I thinking of Ranma?

"Have we met before?" I finally asked MoSh, "You just look so familiar…"

"I don't think so…" he said, looking a bit puzzled. I drank more of my Coke and rum. Then everything faded to black and I woke.

Cool

You have to check with MoSh if that was actually him.

Portal. that night a similar scene happened at the bar I was actually at. Fucking bitch had me thrown out for getting picked on. I told Raven the story. I have no dream recall of that night. but i guess she helped me giver the waitress a nightmare.

Did i actually say : MoSh?

Wow.

I shall never understand the dream world....

In response to the bar dream, HA! I've met a couple of stuck-up bitches like that in my time. Nice way of handling her!

Secondly, as for your previous dream... That's terrible! Any asshole that decides to use you as their punching bag has a serious fucking problem. No one on Dreamviews would ever put you down. You don't ever have to hide from us.

Yeah, judging from the number of views your journal gets I think you can safely assume people on DV look up to you rather than down on you.

Note: Another completely non-lucid dream.

I was just getting finished with a vacation. It had been a lot of fun. But now it was time to head home. My ex boyfriend James was with me. We got onto a plane. But it turned out there was something wrong with the plane, so we were being upgraded, they said. We all had to get off and head to a different plane. The trip on the other plane was longer, so we were getting upgraded seats. A lot of people were pissed and got a different plane. James and I weren't in a rush so we got on that plane. It would be an all night trip. I wanted to be able to use my laptop. I looked for plugs. There were some plugs at the front by some uncomfortable looking seats. I also had the idea they were reserved seats. But I needed the plugs…

I went into the main cabin. There were beds there instead of seats. Beds lined up at a slant against the outside of the plane. I noticed with some relief that there was a plug beside each of the beds. I could plug my laptop in there. And have a comfy place to sit… or sleep if I got tired. I saw James was with me still. He said he had something to do… save him a seat. He left.

I walked down the aisle looking for a pair of bed seats beside each other so James and I could talk. I found one, but one of them was taken before I got there. I kept looking. I finally found an empty pair. I was putting my stuff on one when an older man came to the other. He started taking it. I asked if he could please find another because I was saving that one for a friend. He said there weren't any others, but he would let me have it if my friend came soon. So I went to find James.

I looked and looked and looked. I was sure that the man would have taken the seat by now. I finally entered some private rooms. Or at least semi-private. There were four beds in each one. Maybe James had wanted to find us a more private place. I was hoping he wasn't looking to have sex. I was not in the mood for his idea of foreplay which consists of, "Hey! Wanna fuck?"

I finally found him. But he wasn't alone. He was in a semi-private room with three other people. One of them was the bitch he cheated on me with the second time. It was Tina. I glared at her. There was another couple in the other set of beds. They were kissing enthusiastically. I glared at Tina and then at James. He was half undressed. Apparently he had no intention of coming to find me or tell me he was sitting elsewhere.

"You fucking asshole!" I yelled at James. I let lose a stream of expletives at him that made the other couple in the room stop their making out and stare at me. But I paid them no attention. "What the fuck are you doing in here with that fucking slut? Weren't you even going to come tell me you were sitting somewhere else? Or screwing somewhere else? I was saving a seat for your worthless ass! I was telling other people they couldn't sit there because I was saving it for your worthless ass! And yet here you are! With this stupid fat bitch of a slut! I am sooooo fucking mad at you right now! You are such a fucking piece of shit! I oughta rip your fucking dick off and shove it so far up that bitch's ass that she's giving you a blowjob from the other direction! You are such a fucking asshole! You…"

I came out of my tirade enough to notice the other couple staring at me with wide eyes. I thought I had probably offended them with my language. I turned to the and spoke calmly. "Sorry, you two. I am more than a little angry at my EX boyfriend and my EX friend here. You see, I thought they were my friends, but now I see I am just a big fat fucking joke to them… uh… sorry. I did it again… I'll try not to curse any more."

I turned back to James and Tina. "You are such a… a… stinking piece of… disgusting… crap! How do I do this without cursing?" I noticed the other couple were making out again and taking each other's clothes off. "Now those two… I wish them a lot of very satisfying sex! You guys, on the other hand, may you have absolutely NO sex! You can just sit there and watch them have the most amazing sex of their lives and see what you will never have! Another thing you will never have! Someone who would love you through anything, always and forever! Who the fuck are you… uh… sorry, you two… who is going to share your worthless dreams with you now, you jerk? I wish you NO dreams! May you be permanently mired in this shit hole of a dimension for all of eternity! This place is your own eternal HELL! Hear me? You will both ROT here!

I finally turned and stormed out of the room. I returned to the bed I had selected. The old man was still in the bed beside mine. It was almost like he had expected I would be back alone.

"You can use that one," I said, "The piece of shit who was… sorry for the cursing… who was going to sit there is in bed with a matching piece of shit. May they draw many flies together."

"Are you going to be ok?" he asked. I heard genuine concern in his voice. I rolled over and looked at the man. I felt quite close to crying I was so upset. The look in the man's eyes was such a kind and caring one that I did cry. "Awww…" the man said sympathetically, "I don't even need to see the man to know you deserve better than him."

"How did you know…" I started asking, but got choked up.

"I can read it in your eyes," the man said, "When you were here before I saw the love. Now it looks like someone tore your heart out and stomped on it before shoving it back in."

"I'll be ok," I said, "I just need to rest."

"You need to let it go," the man said, "Right now the only one still being hurt is you. By you. Your man may have started hurting you, but since he's been gone you've been doing a really good job of doing it all by yourself. You need to stop that. Be your own best friend instead of your own worst enemy."

I was just looking at the man now. He seemed to genuinely care. He seemed grandfatherly in a way. I almost felt like hugging him even though I didn't know him. But he sure seemed to know a lot about me… Normally that would bother me but in this case it didn't. I was watching the man as everything around me faded to black and I woke.

Aw, that old man is a sweetheart. I want to give him a hug.

I fell asleep with my light / sound machine on and a couple of goals. First I was going to meet up with Nomad… also there was a party at MoSh's inner world. I also had another plan… I fell asleep with my light / sound machine on and slipped into a WILD…

I was in a room with a lot of people. I looked around to see if there was anyone I recognized. I am not used to appearing anywhere other than the biodome lately. I wandered around a bit and finally remembered I was at the party announced by MoSh. I was at MoSh's party, in his inner world. But where was MoSh? I wanted to find MoSh.

While I was looking for MoSh I saw someone with a tray filled with beers. That reminded me of the Task of the Month on Dreamviews. Drink a glass of Champaign? Yes. I wondered if there was Champaign at the party. If there was I would have to find it first. I didn't want to be distracted from the dream that much. I would summon my own Champaign. I focused on doing that and a bottle of Champaign appeared in my right hand and a glass and bottle opener in my left. I popped the cork. POP! The cork ejected out in a rain of colorful bubbles. It was really cool. People near me stopped talking to look. I could actually hear the music now! I poured myself a glass of Champaign and drank it down. It wasn't as bad as I had been expecting. I don't generally like Champaign. But it was pretty good. I handed the bottle to someone standing near me.

"Raven?" the someone said. I looked at the man. I recognized him. It was MoSh!

"Hey, MoSh!" I said, "Nice party!" I summoned another glass. "Go ahead and do your task of the month, basic task. Have a glass of Champaign! It's really not bad!"

MoSh took the bottle and drank from it. He handed it to someone else. "Damn! I wanted beer!"

"Well," I said, "I'd like a Coke."

"And rum?" MoSh asked.

"Just Coke," I said, "I don't drink much, even in dreams."

Another man approached behind MoSh. I also noticed a woman shadowing MoSh. I wondered if that was Asuka. I went over to her.

"I think MoSh would prefer if you were in front of him where he can actually see you," I said to her.

The woman looked at me and smiled. She took a beer from a tray and went over to give it to MoSh. MoSh was talking to a man over there. They walked away before the woman reached them. I wondered where they were going. I followed them for a bit. They headed upstairs. I wondered what they were going to do up there. I wondered if maybe I was wrong about who Asuka was. Maybe the man was Asuka disguised as a man. I decided not to follow them. It was Asuka maybe they were looking for some private time.

I went towards some sound near by. I found some people playing a video game. I wondered which one. I looked and saw a bunch of people playing a deathmatch of Halo or something like that. I didn't want to play that. I knew right away that I would suck. I was feeling more like I did want a Coke and rum instead of just Coke. I was looking for something to drink when everything faded to black and I woke.

I was in my room. I was in bed. I had just awakened from a dream. I really should write some notes from the dream. I didn't really have the motivation to do that. I was thinking there was something I needed to do. I would have to go through time to do it. I felt a bit of urgency. I was thinking if I didn't do it that it would result in a paradox. I couldn't think what I had to do, but someone had already see me do it. I had to go since someone had already seen me do it. To that point I had better get back to sleep so I could dream some more… but what about the dream I had just had? What about…

"Raven!" a male voice said from in my room.

I snapped my eyes open. Someone in my room? No… I was alone… and the voice had sounded like an echo… like it had come from a long distance away. Someone was calling to me. I wanted to go to them. I knew it was someone calling from the dream state. I lied back down.

"Raven!" the voice sounded again. As I lied back down in bed it was as if I slipped right through the bed into another world…

I looked around. I didn't know where I was. I saw I was definitely not alone. There were Templars. Templars everywhere! What the fuck? All I saw was a bunch of Templars… Had I been called by a bunch of stinking Templars? No way! I was sure it hadn't been Templars summoning me. I then saw a giant winged serpent soaring through the sky breathing green flames on a bunch of Templars. MoSh! Had MoSh called me? It didn't really matter… there were Templars that needed to have their asses kicked! But so many… maybe a few more of me… I used the song Divide by Disturbed.

"Divide, divide, divide, divide! You might say that I'm the last man standing, though you try you'll never find a way to break me!" I split up all the way to 256 of me… there were seemingly infinite Templars. Where did they all come from. The army of me engaged the army of Templars in battle. There was an explosion of light. At the center of that explosion I saw Nomad. Had he been summoned by MoSh? Maybe Nomad had summoned MoSh? Who cares? Templars needed to die! I continued fighting the Templars. And finally they made like the yellow bellies they are. Someone opened a portal and they all headed through it, tails tucked firmly between their legs. I sent a Final Flash energy attack through the portal just before it closed behind the last Templar.

"And don't come back!" I yelled at the Templars. I turned to MoSh, who was near me. "Good riddance to them," I said to MoSh. I flew towards Nomad. "Hey! Which one of you summoned me?" I noticed Nomad didn't look well. I flew over to see if he was ok. An angel was tending to him. The angel and Nomad disappeared. I looked over at MoSh as everything around me faded to black and I woke.

I was pissed. I was frustrated. I was a bit depressed. I was… lucid? How did I get lucid? I have absolutely no clue how I got lucid, but I was definitely lucid. I had no doubt in mind that I was dreaming. I was mad. Mad at the Templars. Why the fuck do they keep messing with Nomad?! I was going to give them something else to think about. I needed to find some Templars. A Templar base would be nice. A bunch of remote viewers in one place. But not the same one we were at before. A different one. I focused on using Through the Never by Metallica to open a portal to a Templar base. I knew exactly where I wanted to know… just not the physical location… A portal opened and I went through it…

I emerged on the other side in an underground complex. I knew I was under ground. I looked around to see if there was anyone else there. I saw a Templar looking at me. He was awake. He wasn't really looking at me. He did seem to sense me. I walked right over in front of him and focused the most intense glare I could summon on him. He definitely felt it. He shivered and looked quite uneasy. He finally turned and hurried from the room.

Ok. Now there were definitely remote viewers here. I wanted to get their attention as soon as possible, and I wanted to get ALL of their attention. I focused on the song Faint by Linkin Park. I could hear the song playing through the underground complex.

"I can't feel the way I did before, don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored!" I was singing with the song, "Hear me assholes? I WILL NOT BE IGNORED!"

An alarm started blasting through the complex. They definitely knew I was there. Disoriented viewers came from different directions. They all looked like Templars to me. I was still focused on the Linkin Park song. "You're gonna listen to me, like it or not! Right now! Hear me out now! You're gonna listen to me, like it or not! Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored!"

"If you want trouble," one of the Templars said who was focused directly at me, "Now you've got it, bitch!"

"Excellent!" I said as I looked at the Templars all around me. The scene suddenly changed. We were now outside of the facility in the air. Perfect. More room would work great for my plan. "Suddenly, the unreal silence is broken by a lament…"

"Activate the dimensional desynchronization device now!" one of the Templars said. Strange beams of energy fired from three four points on the ground and one that was somewhere up in the sky. Energy beams that looked like lightning. All of the beams centered on me. Witchblade formed and was blocking the attacks. A ball of lightning formed around me. I imagine it looked something like this picture… Lightning from all directions and I was inside the sphere shield in the center.

"A lament coming up from the deepest, darkest, abyss…" I continued. Templars were all around me. So many of them. I had never thought there could be so fucking many of them! "And from the seven gates of the dark fortress, the dead come back to life to face you!"

"Full power now!" the Templar yelled. The energy coming from all around me changed its frequency a lot. It also got a lot stronger.

I could actually feel the strange energy flowing through me. I knew it was supposed to be causing harm or damage, but instead of allowing that I absorbed the energy and used it.

"This is HELL!" I yelled, "Immortal fire, now rise, light my heart, light my way through the darkness, a guardian of space and time!" The wall of immortal fire expanded out from me, in a full sphere surrounding me. The fire not only contained my usual energy but it also contained the energy they were attacking me with, doubled right back at them. Astral and dream bodies were incinerated all around me. I found myself laughing maniacally at them as they ran for cover and some tried to slip through portals only to be overtaken and incinerated by my wall of flame. The sphere of flames allowed none to escape.

I heard Templars screaming as they burned. I was secure in the center of the blast where no flame touched. The flames finally burnt themselves out and now there was nothing and no one around me. I was slightly winded. I didn't feel tired, though. I felt energized. I landed on the ground in the place I didn't recognize. It was a barren wasteland. I wondered if it had been before or if my fire had done that. Had I done enough of killing Templars? Maybe for now… maybe. But if there were more…

"You have made a big mistake, you know," a man said from behind me. I turned around and saw a Templar standing there.

"You're either very brave or very stupid," I said to the Templar.

"Let's see how big your talk is once everything you've ever loved is taken away from you," he said in a threatening way.

"Let's see how good you are at making threats when your flesh is being slowly burned off of your body," I said, "and you are fighting to return to the safety of your physical body but you can't get free. And the pain never ends."

"I know perfectly well you don't approve of torture," he said, "so that threat is empty."

"Everyone has their limits," I said, "Right now it is an empty threat. But if something was to happen to someone I care about I can't promise that rage and negative energy won't override that. As a matter of fact, you guys had better be sure you use all your resources to make sure nothing bad at all happens to those I care about. Because if something does, even if you didn't do it, I might still think you did and blame you. The result would be the same."

"You are getting in way over your head, bitch!" he said, "I could have you killed in waking life!"

"Then do it," I said, "Free me from my corporeal prison. I will become more powerful than you could ever imagine! You had better hope I don't die, or you will wonder how you could ever have thought I was dangerous now."

"You listen here…" he started.

"No," I said, "You listen to me! I am here to make your life a living hell. There is only one chance and one way to end that. Stay away from my friends. All of them! Each time you ambush Nomad in his dream I get angrier. Just keep trying and see what happens when I reach the breaking point! It won't be pretty, I can promise you that! Right now the answer is still simple. You ignore all of us, I'll ignore you and encourage the others to do the same. But if you're looking for a fight, you've got one… and you can't win!" I formed a Witchblade sword and cut his head cleanly off. Everything around me faded to black and I woke.

Wow that's similar to what Obiwan kenobi said to Darth Vadar before obi wan died.

That's probably where the thought came from.
