Thread: Raven Knight's Dream Travels

The Templars are "some newage illuminati new world order organization" as nomad put it some time ago. They are some secret organization that have tried to recruit nomad raven and even mosh. Raven can explain it better than me, as I have not actually encounered them (and hopfully I never will)

Not sure I understand any better than you, Robo, but I don't think the Templars are as eager to recruit Raven and Nomad as they are to find out their social security numbers. They're remote viewers who try to gather as much personal information as they can about people by dream travel and remote viewing. They don't like the fact that Raven, Nomad, and friends are adepts at traveling and manipulating the dream plane, so they try to thwart their efforts by attacking them.

Yeah, just wait until they encounter a larger group of us DV'ers who are jumping on the dream-sharing multi-coloured bus!

The Templars won't even know what hit them!

I fell asleep with my light / sound machine on. My first goal involved Nomad's friend Angel being attacked by an ex boyfriend of hers. With this thought in mind I slipped into a WILD…

I was in the biodome. I knew I was there to meet up with Nomad. I looked around the area. I spotted Nomad. He was floating over the koi pond meditating. I pulled a nerf ball from my pocket and threw it at Nomad. It smacked him on the side of the head.

"Remember this dream!" it said loudly. Nomad woke up and floated to the ground in front of me. I said I was ready to go whenever he was… that asshole needs to learn to leave Angel alone. Nomad said he was ready to kick some ass. He opened a portal. We both went through it…

On the other side of the portal we were in a strange place. I looked over at an area, a small alcove in the rocks of a stony cliff. A man was in the alcove, he had a woman cornered. I couldn't see the woman well enough to tell who she was. I thought it was most likely Angel and the man was the Prince of Darkness. He was laughing at her. He said he knew she still wanted him. He said there was no way a loser like Nomad could ever satisfy her needs as a woman. He said he would satisfy those needs… The woman told him to get away from her. She said she didn't want to have anything to do with him. The man leaned in and forced a kiss on the woman.

Nomad was pissed. Before I could even consider a plan Nomad was on top of the asshole pulling him away from Angel. Nomad slammed the Prince of Darkness into the stone wall of the cliff three times before throwing him away where he landed on the ground somewhere near me, apparently stunned by the sudden attack. He wasn't the only one surprised by the sudden attack. Angel was also quite surprised.

"Are you ok?" Nomad was asking Angel, "Did he hurt you?" Angel said she was fine.

The Prince of Darkness was getting up off of the ground and glaring over at Nomad. I wondered if he had even seen me at all. He started heading towards Nomad.

"Hey, asshole!" I said to the asshole, "It's my turn!" He stopped and turned around to look at me. He fired some disgusting looking tentacles at me that looked like the tendrils of a decaying plant. Witchblade formed to protect me. I focused on the song Crush 'Em by Megadeth to send a gravity attack at him. The gravity attack centered right around him, pressing him into the ground and pulling his own tendrils in at him. The tendrils got tangled around him and he was getting quite pissed as he tried to get them off. I used Battery and hit him with a bolt of lightning. Before the lightning even faded Nomad had grabbed him with astral tendrils. He opened a portal and threw the asshole through the portal. The portal closed.

"Where did you send him?" I asked Nomad.

"Through time," Nomad said, "Into the future. He won't be bothering us for a while." Nomad stood there, looking quite pissed. He took some deep breaths and seemed to calm himself down. He shook his head. I asked what was wrong. He said we shouldn't have handled the Prince of Darkness like that. He said when he saw that asshole going after Angel he just got so pissed off… He said the Prince of Darkness is consumed with dark energy, just like P… and he would have to be handled in the same way. He said that like it or not, that asshole needs healing… and we were going to have to do it. I told him if he thought there was a spark in there I would help restore it.

Suddenly Nomad got a strange look on his face… He said the name Megan, which is the name of his ex… I was about to ask what was going on when everything around me faded to black and I woke…

Interesting dream! I love your way of dream control, focusing it through music ... I haven't really gotten involved with Shared Dreaming yet. Is there a lot of drama?

I'm not really sure what you mean by drama... I got accused of being overly dramatic on a chat earlier when, due to excess negative energy, I removed myself from the conversation to keep from saying nasty things I would regret later. Sometimes it seems like we never get a break... and at least one person has decided they don't want to deal with it. Personally, I wouldn't want to give it up!

I don't know, it just seems that a lot of the shared dreams I read are about confrontations with people and hostile Ex's ETC. Do you guys do more than dream battling?

Anything that you can do in a lucid dream you can do in a shared dream. It actually gets really tiring to continually be attacked by those damn Templars or other hostiles... I, for one, would like a nice break from that. If I feel like a dream fight I can go find it... it's annoying that they keep bringing it to me.

I know how you feel. I want to shared dream with you guys, but I don't want to get caught up in this templar stuff.

Actually, we are constantly adding new things to the biodome on the moon. If there is something you would like to see added, suggest it. It should be fun for everyone!

The Templars suck... but the moon bus seems to get through ok... and there aren't any Templars in the biodome. So sharing dreams there with whoever you want should be safe.

I rolled over and fell back asleep and somehow returned to the same dream while maintaining most of my lucidity… I was now next to Nomad in the same place the last dream left off and I was semi-lucid. I doubt Nomad even noticed me disappear…

"Megan is being attacked," Nomad said, "I can feel it… We have to help her…" He opened a portal. At the time I didn't remember who Megan was… I didn't have a chance to ask Nomad who Megan was before he went through the portal. I followed him…

On the other side of the portal we were in what looked like an office. It looked like the break room. It looked normal in every way. There was a woman in the corner. She was surrounded by several men. I recognized the men… it was Nomad, Nomad, Nomad, Nomad, and Nomad… or at least it looked like five copies of Nomad… I could see through their weak disguises. They were Templars. The woman ducked away from the five false Nomads and went into a large office area filled with cubicles. They formed a maze. More fake Nomads were ambushing her. They were all yelling nasty things at her… some of them indicated they never really loved her, other Nomads indicated they wanted to watch her suffer, more Nomads said they wanted to kill her IWL… They were calling her fat, ugly, stupid, and saying there was no way they would ever consider being with someone like her.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU TEMPLAR BASTARDS!" Nomad yelled at the top of his voice, which was very loud. Everyone I could see turned to look at him. I figured any fake Nomads I couldn't see were also looking at him. The room was suddenly very silent.

"Nomad?" Megan said in a weak voice from the center of a circle of fake Nomads, "Is that really you?"

"Yes," Nomad answered. He then said every Templar in the room was going to regret their decision to come harass Megan… He formed his Witchblade into a sword and began hacking at Templars. Cool! We were finally getting to killing some Templar bass turds. I formed my Witchblade into a sword and went hunting through the cubical maze. Nomad wasn't bothering with that. He was plowing through everything. I found a lot of those fake Nomad Templars in the maze of cubicles and desks… and introduced them all to my sword. It didn't take long before we had rooted out all of the Templars.

Nomad went over to Megan, who was in a corner apparently trying to make herself small. Nomad approached her, but she cringed back. He told her it was really him, not some Templar imposter. He said it was ok, she could trust him. I went over beside Nomad. I told her I could vouch for him, he was the real Nomad and the others had all been Templar bass turds. And that would make them the turds of bass, which are fish, so the Templars are actually fish shit. Megan was looking at me strangely. She finally came out and came over to Nomad and me. Nomad said she had a lot of negative energy from those assholes. He said we'd better take her to the Glen of Healing. I opened a portal to get there. We took Megan through…

The Healing Glen was as nice as ever. The crystal golem was there waiting as if he had been expecting us. He took Megan and said he would take good care of her. He looked at her briefly and said she would be fine, it would just take a bit of healing. Nomad seemed relieved at that. I was glad, too. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

I know who the templars are, but why do they go around attacking every body?

They don't seem to like people shared dreaming. Maybe because they can't do anything to control what people do in the dream state... and they seem to want everything to be under their control.

So, these Templars that constantly attack you in dreams, are they other dreamers? just dream characters? spirits/entities that live in the dreaming world?
I'm just a little bit confused about this

As it is, I believe they are real people traveling in the astral and dream states... remote viewers... other dreamers... that's one thing that makes them so annoying. They can't even be killed... they just wake up like any other dreamer, which means they can just keep coming back as much as they want. No, I don't particularly want to kill them, I just want them to leave us alone. But they don't seem to be able to manage that...

I was in the tower at the biodome. I didn't remember why I was there, and I wasn't lucid to realize I was dreaming. Somehow I excused the landing bay and all the space ships as normal… I saw I wasn't alone there. Nomad, MoSh, Allison, and Basara were there. Nomad was next to a ship like from Flight of the Navigator, Allison was next to a cool ship though I didn't know from where, MoSh was next to a Delta Flier from Star Trek, Basara was next to a Fire Valkyrie from Macross 7. There was a Fire Valkyrie with no one next to it.

"The destination has been programmed into your computers," Q said from behind me. I turned quickly. I hadn't even noticed Q. "It's simple. The first one there wins, take any route you want, the only restrictions are no wormholes, no teleportation, no time manipulation. If there's a way to cheat I have missed, then I guess you can use it… because it hasn't been banned.

I went over to the extra Fire Valkyrie. It must be mine… that was sooooo awesome that I had a Fire Valkyrie. Without even considering the oddness of it I floated up into the cockpit. We then launched.

All of us were going in pretty much the same direction. The closest distance between two points is, after all, a straight line. A bit farther along we seemed to split up. I wondered what plans they others had…

I was flying along with my course plotted on the computer. I was actually a bit bored. This wasn't too interesting a race, actually. Considering there didn't seem to be any obstacles or anything… I was looking out the window into endless space when something caught my eye…

I wasn't sure exactly what it was… it looked like a binary star system. A bright blue star was sucking the gasses and heat and energy away from what appeared to be a red giant. That looked totally awesome! I went over to get a closer look. The race was now completely out of my mind. I flew in and I was able to see the gases and energy moving slowly between the stars… or at least it looked slow to watch it. I'm sure they were moving at a high rate. I gazed into the phenomena and kind of zoned into it. I sat there for I don't know how long. I suddenly snapped out of it and remembered that I was in a race…

I floored my ship and headed directly for the destination. I saw the destination from a distance away. It was another binary star system in the Orion constellation.

I finally reached the destination and everyone else was already there. Nomad asked what had taken me so long. Allison asked if I had gotten lost. Before MoSh and Basara could comment I said I had gotten distracted by a cool object. Allison asked if it was shiny. I said it was the shiniest… it had been a pair of stars. A binary system. Allison said getting distracted by a shiny object could be excused. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

That actually sounds kinda fun . I really wish I could join you guys, but I'm too newbie for that.
I guess it gets annoying after a while, but also... Since you are in a 'common dream' or shared dream, I guess you don't have the same control you would have in your inner world, your own dream right? It's not like you can just make them explode, or change the environment however you want to?

A good dream battle sometimes can be fun... but not ALL the time, I have other goals I'd like to accomplish in dreams. And yeah, control is a bit limited in a shared dream because they can also control stuff. I can use my powers that alter me, but altering them is a bit harder.

Thank you for taking the time to write all these dreams down, and also for being such a loyal friend, and awesome mentor. You have the heart of an angel.

I woke up in bed. I petted my cat Midna for a few minutes before getting up. Everything seemed normal. There was nothing to give me the idea I was dreaming. I quickly dressed and opened my bedroom door to go into the other room and say hello to my mom.

I went into the living room and did a double take. My late brother John was in the living room. I stared for a couple of minutes. He was definitely there and definitely alive. But that's not possible! John died a few years ago! I took seeing my late brother as a dream sign and did a nose pinch reality check. I could breathe with my nose pinched, so I must be dreaming! I became lucid…

Now I realized that as soon as I woke up I would lose John again. I didn't like that idea. I thought I'd better take advantage of seeing him right now. I went over to him and gave him a big hug. I held onto him tightly as if I could bring him out of my dream through sheer force of will. Of course I knew that nothing of the sort could happen… As I was hugging John I told him how much I have missed him. I was near tears.

"I have missed you sooooo much," I told John, "It's been so long since I have seen you…"

"Uh… Shanna?" John asked, using my waking life name since he didn’t know my true name, "I come over here practically every weekend. It's only been a week since we saw each other last… are you ok?"

"Only a week?" I asked him. Apparently he didn't remember the situation with him being dead, and the fact it had been a very long time since I had seen him. He must be a DC. My heart sank. It was nice to see him, but I didn't want to spend my lucid dream hanging out with a DC that just happened to look like my late brother. I told John I was fine. I just needed a little air. My mom said to be back soon… it was almost time for lunch. I said I would be and then I went outside onto our front porch.

I looked off of the front porch over the railing. The sun was shining brightly. I could see it reflecting off of our tiny pond. I could see our fish swimming around in the tiny pond. Goldfish. They were overgrown goldfish, the pond wasn't large enough for koi. I would fly. Flying always makes me feel good. I climbed up on the railing and took to the sky. I remembered something about a dream task… to look and see if I had a shadow when in sunlight? Of course I would have a shadow… how could I not? My thought was confirmed when I looked down at the desert below and saw my own shadow following me on the ground below. Wow… that was sure easy… I remembered I had originally thought the goal was to fly into the sun itself. I remembered I had wanted to do that. I flew higher and higher. The height I was at was dizzying. It was exhilarating. I loved it. The wind in my face… Would I be able to escape the Earth's gravity? Sure. This is a dream. I can do whatever I want. I continued flying higher and higher until everything around me faded to black and I woke.

Note: I fell asleep with very little in the way of plans for tonight. My only plan was to heal a friend of mine, Jen, who has been getting sick a lot lately it seems. With this in mind I fell asleep with my light / sound machine and slipped into a WILD…

I was in the biodome. I looked around. I knew where I was supposed to go to heal Jen, but I also remembered I was going to pick up Basara to help me out. I wondered where Basara was. I tried to telepathically contact Basara. I sent the message that I was in the biodome and I was ready to go do some healing on Jen. A portal opened not far from me… but it wasn't Basara that came through. Instead, Nomad came out of the portal followed by Angel. I said hello to them as they arrived. I was still looking for Basara… Nomad said he was here to help me with the healing. I asked him how he knew… I didn't remember texting him about it… he said I had just broadcast a telepathic message about it. I turned a bit red… I hadn't realized I was sending that message to everyone… I hoped the wrong people hadn't gotten hold of it… but then again, what would they do with that information? It didn't really matter.

We all waited there a bit more. We were each playing a healing spell and the glen filled with golden energy. Finally a portal opened and Basara came through. I told him he was late. He said he'd been in the middle of something… but he was here now. He looked at Nomad and Angel; he said hi to them. I figured if everyone was ready we would go. I opened a portal, focused on getting to Jen's cottage. The portal opened and we went through.

On the other side we were outside the cottage. The door was already open and Pixie was there waiting. She said she had been expecting us to come sooner. I told her one of us had been late. I pointed a thumb at Basara who stuck his tongue out at me in a childish gesture. We all went into the cottage. Pixie left and returned with a kettle of tea. She asked who needed lucidi-tea. I said I was already lucid… this is my WILD. She handed me a cup anyway and then handed one to Nomad. She said Basara and Angel didn't really need one… she hesitated when she looked at Angel. She handed her a cup of lucidi-tea and then gave another cup to Basara. She then indicated a stairway. She said Jen was up there in bed.

All of use went upstairs. In the bedroom Jen was sleeping. Allison was there with her. Allison saw all of us come in. She commented she didn't realize I was bringing everyone… I asked if it was a problem. She said no, she just hadn't realized. We all did a healing spell on Jen. I used Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack to focus on the healing. Golden energy filled the room and flowed through Jen, carrying out some black crap which I saw Nomad clean up and dispose of. After the healing was complete everything around me faded to black and I woke.

Here's something I suggest you guys add:
A broadcast station! Something that would come in to every non-lucid dreamer's head, and it would stop when they became lucid.

If she does that maybe more than a million dreamers would appear, its a good idea maybe raven could talk it out to see how this would work and the necesary amount of energy lol. Well yeah xp the broadcaster must know each and one of the dreamers that want to participate.
