Thread: Raven Knight's Dream Travels

10/07/09 Wednesday

Note: I fell asleep with the intent of doing the basic Task of the Month: Scare a DC. So I fell asleep with my light/sound machine on and the intent of scaring the $h*t out of someone! I went into a WILD…

I was in a building. It was a building. It was also loud. There was a lot of barking going on. I looked around closer. The walls were lined with cages. I looked into one of the cages. There was a dog in it. The dog was much too big to be in that cage. The dog was barking viciously at me. I looked in the next cage. There was another dog, again, too big for the cage. The dog was cowering in the corner of the cage and whimpering. This was a sad place. I wanted to let the dogs out. I wasn't sure if they might attack me. But this was a dream. They couldn't hurt me. I wondered if they might attack each other. I didn't want to see dogs fighting. I headed for the door to the building. Outside I heard the sound I didn't want to hear. A dog fight. And people cheering and yelling. The sound of the fight ended in a series of yelps. I followed the sounds. I found a group of people standing around a small pen with two dogs in it. One of them was lying down. The other was snarling. The dogs were being separated. Money was being exchanged. Apparently they had been betting on the dogs. I felt ill. A man got into the pen with the injured dog. He was mad. He kicked the dog hard, eliciting a loud yelp. He was pissing me off.

"What do you think you're doing to that dog?" I asked the man in an angry tone, "You'd better stop it!" I knew my threat sounded weak and empty. I didn't care.

The man glared over at me. "And who do you think you are?" He kicked the dog again. "No one tells me…" kicked the dog… yelp… "how I should…" kicked the dog… yelp… "treat my worthless…" kicked the dog… yelp… "excuse for a mutt!" He finished by kicking the dog… yelp…

I walked right over to the jerk. "Get away from the dog or pay the price," I said.

The man laughed. He kicked the dog again. That did it. I walked right over in front of the man. He stood between me and the dog and glared at me. I thought for a minute. I decided to go with Prototype. Alex Mercer. I used Of Wolf and Man by Metallica to transform my body. I changed my right arm into a razor sharp blade that looked like Alex's. I was close enough to the man that just forming the sword caused it to run him through his middle. He had a shocked look on his face as the blade cut through his flesh. The man had on a white shirt which was rapidly turning crimson now. The man went limp on the blade. He was dead. I pulled my blade out of him and he fell limply to the ground.

Note: I was getting into the dream role I was playing out and I went to partial lucidity...

"What the f**k?" one of the other men questioned as he saw my blade closer. The other people who had been watching the dog fight ran in all directions in a blind panic. Two men didn't leave. They were staring at me. One of them pulled out a gun and started shooting at me. My Witchblade armor blocked the bullets. I walked towards the man who was shooting at me. Blood was still dripping from my blade. The man emptied his pistol and then threw the gun itself at me. He backed away, now he was babbling. "No… please… no…" He backed into a wall and could go no farther. Someone shot me in the back with a shotgun. No effect through my Witchblade armor. I ignored him completely and approached the man who was cowering.

"Please don't… you can have the dogs… all of them… just please don't kill me…" he begged. He looked quite pathetic. He crumpled into a ball and started whimpering. (I was hit by another shotgun blast in the back.) I wanted to see what kind of person he was. I lifted his head with my human hand and looked at his eyes. I could read what he had done. I had an image of him beating one of his own dogs with a baseball bat until it died. (I was hit by another shotgun blast in the back.) He had done that because it had lost a fight. What an a$$hole! I cut him in two with my blade. He had abused his last dog.

I turned around just in time to see the man with the shotgun disappear into the kennel. I followed him. He was standing in front of one of the cages. He looked terrified and crazy. He was pointing his shotgun at a dog. He said I should leave or he would shoot the dog. His hand was shaking so badly I don't think he could have hit the dog. I transformed my left hand into a long tendril and snatched the gun away from the jerk before he could react. He started backing away from me now. He tripped over his own feet and fell on his butt. He scooted backwards until he hit a wall. Now he just cowered there whimpering. I could smell a foul odor from his direction. He had soiled himself! When I got over to him I put him out of his misery by removing his head with my blade. I heard someone behind me.

"Raven," Basara said, "Don't worry about the…" he stopped when he saw the blood dripping from my blade. I transformed it back to a human arm. Basara turned a bit green when he saw the dead body I was standing over. Basara looked quickly away from the body. He collected himself and continued. "I can sing to calm the dogs," he said, "and they should be able to form a nice pack in the biodome on the moon. That place is a paradise for dogs, after all." He still looked a bit green. I walked away from the body and back towards the outside door. Basara followed me. I found the injured dog next to the first man I had killed. I went over to the dog. I focused on the song Voices from the Macross Plus anime soundtrack. The music played. It had the dual effect of calming me and healing the dog. The dog got up and licked my face tentatively. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

ok. you completed the task... holy shit. that was more than intense.

At least now the puppies (every dog is a puppy to me) will have a safe place to be. I'm glad you were there to save them.

I was in a beautiful place. I looked around and saw it looked like a garden of some kind. There was a dog sniffing my butt. I looked at the dog. The dog sat down and sat up. It was cute. The dog took off playfully chasing a bunny. That was also cute. It looked like the bunny was not really trying to escape. The bunny was playing with the dog. Very cute. I wandered through the forest a bit. I saw a pink bunny with wings. A bunny with wings? The pink part didn't seem odd, but the wings did. The entire place seemed surreal. I did a reality check by trying to fly. I found I could fly. I became lucid…

I looked around a bit more and soon realized I was in the biodome on the moon. It was very peaceful and beautiful. A colorful bird flew down from the trees and landed on my shoulder. It sang a brief beautiful song before flying off. I wondered where Nomad was. As if on cue he appeared. I said hi to him but he didn't seem to hear me. He acted very disoriented. I asked him if he was ok. He didn't respond. I thought maybe he wasn't lucid. I told him he was dreaming. He still didn't answer me. I told him to do a reality check. A vortex portal opened behind him and pulled him through. I grabbed for his hands as he went through but he slipped away.

I looked at the spot where I had seen Nomad. Something had been very wrong there. I focused on Through the Never and on following him. It took more effort to open the portal than it usually does. I focused more energy on locating Nomad. Finally a portal opened. Before I could go through it, however, Nomad came falling out. There were things on him. Disgusting black things. Four of them. I formed Witchblade into a dagger to cut them off. Nomad said he was going to absorb them. I said I didn't think that was a very good idea. Before I had even finished my sentence, however, Nomad had absorbed them. He stood up and briefly looked ok… then he looked like he was going to puke. He puked a blob of black gunk. He said he was going to be sick. I looked at the black ooze he had puked. I told him he should be in the Glen of Healing. He was stumbling off in an abstract direction. I went over to him and caught him as he was falling over. I told him I would take him to the Glen of Healing and also use a healing spell on him. With Nomad leaning on me I used Through the Never and focused on getting to the Glen of Healing. We went through the resultant portal.

On the other side the crystal golem seemed to sense something was wrong. He met us at the portal. He asked what had happened. I told him Nomad had absorbed some disgusting stuff… possibly dark energy. He took Nomad off of me and carried him to the back of the cave where he lied Nomad on the soft grass bed. Joseph came running from outside. He had an eagle perched on his arm. Normally I would have admired the eagle but I was a bit distracted now. Joseph asked what was wrong with Nomad. I said he had absorbed some dark energy. Joseph asked if it was a dream demon. I said I didn't know the source of the energy right now, just that it had to be eliminated. I used the song Touch My Heart off of the Devil Hunter Yohko soundtrack to purge the dark energy out of Nomad. The song played through. It had more of a visible effect than usual. It was almost as if reality was warping around the golden energy it produced. I didn't let myself get distracted. I hadn't even finished the song when a portal opened behind Nomad and he was sucked through. I let loose an expletive. The crystal golem looked puzzled. Joseph looked alarmed. I was annoyed at whoever had opened that portal.

I focused on Through the Never again and on following Nomad. I had to use extra energy again to make it work. Finally the portal opened. I went through it. On the other side I was back in the biodome. There was a woman there. I was going to ask her who she was when I thought her energy looked familiar. I went over to her and looked in her eyes. It was Nomad… as a woman? "Uh… Nomad? Why are you dressed as a woman?"

Nomad was looking at his (her) reflection in a pond. He (she) looked at me and asked me if I was gay or bi. I did a double take. I asked him what he was talking about. I told him he needed healing. I asked what had taken him from the Glen of Healing. I figured it didn't matter. I needed a safe location. Nomad tried to walk but he still looked sick. I caught him as he almost fell over. He said he was hiding from IB's. I asked what an IB is. He said he wanted to sleep. I told him I would take him somewhere safe for healing. I teleported us to the sick bay room in the tower. I told the computer to let no one in or out of the tower for now. The computer said the tower was sealed. I helped Nomad to one of the beds and then I used Full Moon Light from the Devil Hunter Yohko soundtrack. I focused the healing energy on him. Golden energy flowed through him. It seemed to be cleansing out something disgusting. There was soon a pile of sludge at the foot of the bed. I repeated the song until there didn't seem to be any more sludge to remove. I told the computer to remove the barrier so Nomad could go home. The computer complied. As if he had been waiting for the chance to leave Nomad disappeared. I asked the computer to trace his path. The computer said he had returned to his body. I said that was good. I gathered a sample of sludge and incinerated the rest with a fireball. I inserted the sludge sample into the computer for analysis. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

I fell asleep with my light/sound machine and the intention of doing a WILD. My goal was to go to a friend of mine named Allison and use some healing energy on her. As I fell asleep I focused on her. I don't have as clear an image of her room as I have of Alicia's room so I focused on seeing her in a bed of grass similar to the grass in the Glen of Healing. I figured it would be easier to maintain a clear image that way…

I was in a beautiful forest glen. It looked a lot like the Glen of Healing but I didn't think it was. Allison was there with me. She was lying on a bed of grass sleeping peacefully. I went over beside her and focused on the song Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack. I spent some time rubbing her ankle gently. Golden energy flowed through her as I focused on the song. Music seemed to fill the forest glen. When the song was done I repeated it. I didn't know how much healing energy I might need to use. When that song was done I thought it was good for now. Since I had her permission to share a dream I decided to see if she could become lucid. I went over to her and touched her arm gently. I said her name a couple of times. She didn't seem to want to wake up. I wondered if that is normal when trying to awaken someone in a dream. I tried a bit harder to wake her up. I said her name a couple of times. I finally got her to sit up. She looked around a bit. She finally looked at me. She looked a bit disoriented.

"Have you seen Lacy?" she asked as she stood up.

"This is a dream," I told her, "Try doing a reality check."

"Sure," she said, "But first I have to find Lacy." She walked away, calling Lacy as she walked.

"Wait a minute," I said, "This is a dream. Lacy isn't here. Do a reality check. Here… Check this out…" I used Battery to call a bolt of lightning into a nearby lake. Allison stared at that. She didn't look particularly impressed. She looked quite alarmed.

"What if Lacy got caught in that?" she asked as she ran towards the lake. She was still calling Lacy, although she was calling more urgently now. I thought I had better calm her down or she would wake up. I used Through the Never to open a portal to the biodome on the moon. I spotted a dog that is a Rottweiler / Shepherd mix and called it through. The dog came through and went over to Allison when I pointed to her. Allison saw the dog and began petting it. She was calling the dog Lacy. She seemed relieved to find Lacy.

"Tigress," I called her, "You are a tigress."

Allison looked up at me, "You remembered. Good for you."

"Now remember why you told me that," I prompted.

"So you could tell me if I'm dreaming…" she said. Realization dawned on her face. "You mean I'm dreaming now? This is a dream?" She stood up and looked around.

"All you have to focus on is remembering this," I told her, "When you wake up jot down a couple of notes. Anything to help you remember. Ok?"

The dog was being ignored. It jumped up on Allison. This distracted her. "Lacy! You're safe!" She was petting the dog when she disappeared. The dog looked disappointed. I used a portal to send the dog back to the biodome. I was wondering if Allison would remember the dream when I woke.

Just a quick clarification for you... Nightstalkers aren't real. What you are describing is real, but all of these permanent, non-human and non-DC Dreamworld inhabitants, regardness or character or moral tendencies, are all lumped together as Inorganic Beings, the correct term fo them. Nightstalker is a term that was invented by someone on here a long time ago to purposefully fool the DV community into thinking that dreams were like World of Warcraft, so please don't use it. And, I'm sorry, but 'dream demon' also sounds kind of lame and WoW-ish, so please, just call them IBs.

With all due disrespect, I have encountered nightstalkers / dream demons personally. An IB is an inorganic being, refering to any entity that is non-coporeal, or energy based (does not have a physical body). A dream demon is an IB, but it is a specific type of one that will invade people's dreams in order to feed off of their energy and fear. A nightstalker is not an IB... it is a regular person that has learned to do shared dreaming but does it without permission and behaves in a hostile manner when they get there. If you don't believe in these things or in shared dreaming I respect your right to your beliefs. I didn't believe in it either until I experienced it personally. I apologize if this is coming off as too antagonistic but I don't appreciate someone telling me how to record my own dreams in my own dream journal. If you think they're lame then don't read them. And please don't turn this dream journal into a debate on the existance of nightstalkers and dream demons. I think there is a thread for that already in Beyond Dreaming.

Please save argumentative comments such as telling us how to describe our dreams in Beyond Dreaming. This is a dream journal, not a debate thread.

LOL at your sig. You're silly!

I hope Allison remembered your dream. I wish you remembered our Jedi adventure. Man, it WAS SO KICKASS!

Oh, well. We don't always remember, but we remember most. And that kicks ass!

Jedi Adventure? That sounds...AWESOME! Can you post a link to it? or PM me a link?

It's the second to last dream in my thread. I think it's the third Jedi adventure in my DJ. Use the search thread tool for the others. One of them was a walking meditation.

The last one was my favorite, fighting alongside the Zabraks.

I fell asleep with my light/sound machine and did a WILD to the moon…

I was on the moon. I looked around. I saw the tower in the distance. I figured I would go there. That would be a good place to find Nomad. I teleported into the biodome. I petted a Rottweiler / Shepherd mix that came over to meet me. There were some other dogs playing around. I heard a dog whimpering. I followed the sound. I found Selene. She was sitting by the pond gazing blankly out over it. There was a black Pit Bull licking her face and whimpering in a concerned manner. Selene wasn't responding to the dog. I went over to them.

"Selene?" I asked. She didn't respond. "Selene? Are you ok?" I asked. Still no response. I looked around but I didn't see Nomad. I tried to telepathically contact Nomad. I got no response. I touched Selene on the shoulder. She looked up at me. She had a blank look in her eyes. They seemed darker than normal. I had the idea she needed healing. I took her hand and tried to get her to stand up. She stood easily enough. I led her through the biodome to the bed of grass brought from the healing glen. Selene lied down on the grass and looked quite relaxed. I focused on the song Full Moonlight. I instinctively felt that was the right song to use. White energy flowed through Selene as the song played. When the song was over Selene focused on me for the first time.

"Raven?" she asked as if a bit disoriented.

"How do you feel?" I asked her.

"Tired," she said.

"Then maybe you should rest," I said.

Selene closed her eyes and seemed to fall asleep. I stayed there and watched her sleep for a couple of minutes to be sure everything looked ok. I was about to walk away when she disappeared. I wondered where she had gone. I didn't sense that she was in any danger. I thought maybe I should check on her to see where she had gone. I was going to but I was awakened by my cats getting into an argument…

haha darn cats, I do hope selene is alright.

First you, then nomad, now selene, I think something might be trying to mess with you guys.

I was in a strange place. I looked around to see where I was. It was a town like one I would see in an RPG. It wasn't a big city. It was a small village. There were people walking around and talking. There were only a few merchant booths with merchants talking to the people who were walking by. It was a peaceful setting. I walked over to one of the merchant booths. He was selling a wide variety of crap. Or at least it looked like crap to me. I had the idea I needed to find my mother a birthday present. I didn't want to buy her crap. I went to the next booth. There were some nice things there. I looked at a couple of them. I saw a couple of price tags. I wondered if I had any money. I reached into a bag strapped to my waist (I was wearing white robes). I didn’t find any money. I pulled a Homer Simpson (D'Oh!). How could I buy my mom a present without money? I was frustrated. I walked away from the merchant booth. I was trying to think how I could get some money when the silence was broken. There was a thundering coming. It sounded like a herd of horses. All of the people ran for shelter. I noticed the merchant stand where I had spotted possible presents for my mom was unwatched now. Maybe I could just go over and snag something…

A horse came past the stand at full gallop. It was a dark brown horse with a lighter mane and tail. An arrow hit the horse in the ass. The horse threw off its rider and bolted with the arrow still sticking out of its rear. I wondered what a$$hole had shot the horse, I looked and saw more horses approaching at a gallop. I looked at the man who had been thrown from his horse. Those others were after him. I went to him to see if he was ok. He was not hurt. He got up and looked at me. It was Altaïr. If I was looking at Altaïr then I must be dreaming…

"Raven!" Altaïr said, "Hurry! They're coming!"

I looked at the approaching horses. I could see them well enough now to see there were Templars riding those horses. I focused on the song Battery and lightning struck at all of the Templars. Many of them were caught by surprise and got consumed by white lightning. As for the others, the horses were spooked and threw their riders before bolting off into a nearby forest. The remaining Templars were on foot. I used another bolt of lightning to charge Altaïr's and my swords with a bolt of lightning. The remaining Templars, there were seven of them left, arrived and attacked us. We fought them off using our electrically charged swords. The final Templar was coming at me when Altaïr got him from behind. He fell to the ground and was consumed by white lightning. I saw Altaïr's hidden blade was sparking. Apparently he had charged it with the energy on his sword.

"There's more coming," Altaïr said, "I saw them from the crest of that mountain."

I looked around and spotted Altaïr's horse. The arrow was still protruding from its rear. There was some blood, but the wound didn't look serious. I went over to the horse and pulled the arrow out as quickly as I could. The horse whinnied in pain and kicked out. I pet the horse to calm it and used Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack to heal the wound. I told Altaïr his horse was fine now. A horse nuzzled me. It was a white horse with a red mane and tail. The horse was familiar to me. I climbed on the horse as Altaïr got on his horse. I could hear more horses coming. Altaïr and I took off and headed for a forest near the town. We could lose them there.

We entered the forest and kept going as quickly as we could. I could hear the Templars coming from behind. They were getting closer. Something felt strange. It felt like someone was trying to find me. I instinctively wanted that connection to be successful. I focused on Through the Never to make the connection work more easily. A portal opened up ahead of Altaïr and me. Nomad fell out and managed to land on his feet. I held my hand out to him as we rode past and helped him get onto my horse behind me with a jump. He started firing white arrows at the Templars that were emerging behind us. There were too many of them. I looked back. I focused on the song Battery. I didn't know if the Templars would be expecting that so I tried to use more power than usual. The lightning crashed down and broke right through their shields. The Templars were consumed by white lightning leaving behind some confused and spooked horses.

"Your friend came back, too, I see," Altaïr said, "Or at least one of them did. We need all the help we can get. They're not holding back this time."

Note: Somewhere in here during the ride to the city I slipped into semi-lucidity...

I figured if he was saying that then there must be more Templars. I tried to sense where their dark energy was. There were more of them. They were coming. It seemed like so many. Maybe we would be best to avoid them for now. We rode up to a walled city. We left our horses in a stable there and entered the city on foot. It was a big place with many people going about their business and endless vendors hawking their wares. It was hard to hear myself think. I checked on the position of the Templars again. They were getting closer. They were still on our trail. I told the others that the Templars were coming, we should blend in with the locals so maybe they wouldn't find us. I looked and saw Altaïr was already gone. I could sense he was still close, but I couldn't spot him. Nomad was looking excitedly around at all of the action around us. I thought he could've been wearing a sign that said 'TOURIST' on his robes. I told him to blend in with the locals, just act like he belonged there. Too late…

"There!" came a voice from the gate, "It's the witch! And she's with an assassin! Kill them!"

The Templars started coming towards Nomad and me. One of them dropped dead and was consumed by white lightning. Altaïr had just stabbed him from behind with his still sparking hidden blade.

"Kill all of the assassins!" yelled a Templar. Now they came in full force. Altaïr came and joined us. Nomad formed a force field around the three of us. It pushed the civilians away. The civilians were realizing that a fight was about to break out and they were trying to run for cover. But there were so many of them they were having trouble getting out of the way. Nomad reached out and pulled a single Templar into the shield with us. I was about to ask why when he made like Alex Mercer off the video game Prototype and consumed the Templar.

"That's dark energy!" I said, "Don't consume that!" There was briefly a dark aura around Nomad and then he absorbed that as well. He glared at the other Templars as if daring them to get close enough for him to consume them as well.

"A demon!" one of the Templars yelled, "The witch has summoned a demon! Stop it or it will consume your soul!"

"We can't fight them here," Altaïr said, "Too many innocent people will get hurt…"

I focused on teleporting us to the forest. The next instant we were there. In a small clear area. The town wasn't far away. I could sense the Templars gathering together and heading straight for us. Damn! They must be able to track us somehow. I told Nomad and Altaïr that maybe we could ambush them. Nomad transformed to be 50 feet tall.

"Well…" I said, "If the Templars didn't know where we were before, they sure know now…" Altaïr was just staring at the 50 foot Nomad. Nomad shrunk back down and transformed into a big rock. I told him they would probably still sense us even if we blend in perfectly. They seem to be able to do that. Nomad transformed into an Ent like on Lord of the Rings. A big sentient tree that can move. "Cool! An Ent!"

Altaïr and I hid. Templars entered the clearing. One of them said he knew we were somewhere close… he could smell us. Without thinking I sniffed my armpits… no stink. It wasn't me they smelled. I felt a bit dumb for doing that. I had stood up. One of the Templars spotted me. He didn't get a chance to raise an alarm. He dropped dead and was consumed by white lightning. I caught a glimpse of Altaïr. Other Templars came at me. They ran too close to Nomad. He grabbed them in huge tree-hands and crushed them. Apparently their dark energy could not repair being crushed… The Templars were yelling about the demon now and shooting arrows at the tree that was Nomad. As in Lord of the Rings, arrows proved woefully ineffective against an Ent. He crushed some more of them. I used Battery. Lightning struck numerous Templars and also recharged Altaïr's and my swords and his hidden blade. The Templars seemed to be focusing on me. Someone said that if they killed the witch the demon would disappear. I was surrounded. I did a spin attack like on the Legend of Zelda. I cut down the Templars around me. When they were consumed by white lightning I saw Nomad crush a couple of Templars and Altaïr pulled his sword out of a Templar. That was the last of them.

Nomad transformed back to his normal form. I could still sense dark energy in him from the Templar he had consumed. I used Full Moonlight to purge that dark energy out. I felt a bit strange. I figured I had been doing too much. We should get somewhere safe. I focused on Through the Never to open a portal to the moon. A portal opened. Nomad stepped through it. I told Altaïr he could come if he wanted to. He followed me through the portal. It closed behind us.

We were now in the biodome. I was standing next to Altaïr. Nomad was looking at me strangely. Altaïr was looking around at his new surroundings. I heard him ask where we were. His voice was coming from a distance. I thought maybe I was going to wake up. I felt dizzy and everything faded to black. Just as everything went black I thought I felt myself in Altaïr's arms…

Whew! Long dream!

ROCK AND ROLL!!!

Thank you, Robo. Selene got sick when she was in The Outback. I think she got in a fight with the black Isz. She's still recovering. I don't know what's wrong exactly. I'll find out tonight.

No problem nomad, good luck to you. Where exactly is this bio dome? Is it in space or something? or is it just floating around in the middle of nowhere?
and kickass dream as always Raven

The biodome is on the moon at the base of the tower. Both are located in the dream plane. So basically it is on the moon in a parallel dimension.

10/10/09 Saturday

I fell asleep to the isochronic sounds and the lights of my light / sound machine. I remembered Pablo saying he would help out with some healing, so my goal was to find him and bring him back to the moon with me…

I went into my WILD and found myself on the moon. I was thinking about finding Pablo so he could help out with some healing. I focused on Through the Never and on opening a portal to find him. The portal wasn't easy to open. I had to use a lot more energy than I thought I should have to use. Finally I got the portal to open. I wondered where Pablo could be that was so hard to get to… I went through the portal.

On the other side I was in a bedroom… I couldn't see any details. I could barely make out a bed. Someone was sleeping in the bed. Pablo? I went over to the bed. I was feeling really disoriented. I focused on stabilizing the dream. I seemed to find a little success. I went over to the bed and touched the sleeping figure on the shoulder.

"Pablo?" I said, "Wake up and have a dream…" I realized how strange that statement sounded. Pablo moved a bit in his sleep. He rolled over and looked up at me. All I could see clearly was his face. Everything else was spinning around me. It was making me really dizzy. I knew if I didn't leave here soon I would wake up. I told Pablo we were dreaming and I was going to take him to the moon. He looked at me sleepily. It was no good. I was too disoriented. Everything faded to black and I woke.

I did a WBTB this time… combined with a WILD I think… I don't think I quite woke up completely. I just kind of slipped from on dream into the next. I was able to keep my lucidity.

I was on the moon in the biodome. I looked around to see where I was. I was wondering how Selene was doing. I teleported to the sick bay area of the tower. Selene was in bed sleeping. I went over to her and looked at her closely. There were readings on her displays. I don't know how to read them well, but they all looked stable and strong. She was going to be ok. I teleported back to the biodome so I wouldn't disturb her.

I was back in the biodome. I petted a pit bull that came over to see me. I got a tail wag in response. Basara appeared next to me. I hadn't even had a chance to say hello to him before a portal opened and Nomad tumbled out. He landed on his knees and started puking. He puked a pile of black ooze. It was disgusting. I asked him what he had been consuming this time. I told him he should probably try absorbing and returning a safe energy before doing it with something dangerous like dark energy. He said he was getting use to it. I said you can't get used to dark energy. I helped Nomad over to the patch of grass that is like the Glen of Healing. He lied down in it. I focused on the song Full Moonlight. Basara played his guitar along with me. Golden energy flowed through Nomad and it seemed to be washing a lot of dark crap out of him. Some insects came out to clean up the dark energy. Nomad stood up and thanked me. He said he wanted to check on Selene before we went anywhere. I said ok and he disappeared.

Basara took advantage of that time to start singing to me. I sat down on a small rock and listened to the calming song. I was getting carried away by his music. The song seemed to somehow go on forever and yet it ended too soon.

Nomad was back. He said he wanted to go see the Colossus. I used Through the Never and focused on getting there. A portal opened up. The three of us went through the portal. On the other side we were standing on a boat. I wondered where the boat had come from. The boat had a really cool dragon head carved at the bow. Very detailed. Basara was rowing the boat from the back seat. Nomad stood up and walked to the front of the boat and stood there with one foot on the side of the boat.

"I'm going to laugh when you fall off," I said.

Nomad stuck his tongue out at me. He almost lost his balance before he stepped down into the boat. I asked Basara if he needed help. Basara said it was fine. He said the current was doing most of the work. He was just steering mostly. We approached the harbor. The Colossus was a huge golden statue that towered over the harbor on the left side. It was not straddling the harbor as many images show it. It was standing on a large pedestal on the left side of the harbor holding a torch out over the water with his right hand. I was thinking it probably doubled as a lighthouse beacon for approaching ships. The sheer size of the statue was amazing. It sparkled in the sunlight so that it looked like it was on fire. Beautiful. I wanted a closer look. I took to flight and headed for a closer look at the statue's face. I stopped when a bolt of lightning struck the statue. I jumped backwards in mid air. WTF? The statue came to life. I looked down at Nomad. Basara was staring at the live statue, clearly surprised. Nomad seemed amused.

Note: This got me distracted from the fact it was a dream... I went to semi-lucidity.

I turned back towards the statue. There were two huge figures now. The golden statue and another huge man in a toga with a crown who I instinctively knew was Zeus. I flew down to the boat and landed as the two giants broke into a fight. They wrestled on the ground, exchanged lightning bolt for fire ball. They fought in a massive way, clashing with the sound of thunder. Finally the golden statue threw Zeus into the sky and out of sight before returning to his pedestal and turning back into a normal statue. I was still staring at that. "Ok… that was weird…" I said to myself. Everything faded to black and I woke.

I was in a strange place. It looked like the interior of a temple of some kind. I didn't recognize it. I noticed it was filled with aliens. The aliens looked like humanoid bats. Most of them were standing around the outer edge of the room. There was one of the bat people standing in front of us. He looked like he had a position of authority. I recognized Basara and Nomad. Basara moved closer to me and whispered in my ear.

"You probably don't want to do a reality check right now," he said, "but you're dreaming." I looked at Basara. I did do a brief reality check. I levitated about an inch off of the ground. That was enough to make me lucid.

The bat man in front of us was saying it was good that Nomad had brought allies. He interrupted when Nomad tried to introduce us. He said he already knew. Three giant owls were led into the room. The bat man said they were to be our steeds. I thanked him for offering a steed and then asked if I could use my own. He said that I could. I focused on summoning the horse I have used repeatedly. The white one with red mane and tail like flame. I said the horse's name is Stardust. The bat man looked at the horse and said the battle would take place in the sky. Stardust opened up a pair of beautiful wings to reveal she is a Pegasus. The bat man nodded and said I have a beautiful steed. We all mounted our steeds and flew out through an opening in the ceiling of the temple.

We flew for a while and soon we joined into a large battle in the sky. The enemies were using gliders and jet packs. Our allies were all on the owls and fighting with magical tridents. The battle was intense. Basara said he wanted the battle to end as soon as possible. He dove right into the middle of the fight on his owl and started playing music. Planet Dance off of the Macross 7 soundtrack. His owl proved to be very agile and he had formed a force field to protect himself and his steed from attacks. I was hoping Basara's technique might work here… at least until we can find out why they are fighting. I focused on adding my energy to Basara's song. I saw one of the enemies closing in to attack one of the bat people from behind. I used Battery to shoot a bolt of lightning across in front of him. It made him break off his attack. Nomad was near me. He said he was going to try to find out what caused this war. I told him to go for it. He took off in a different direction. I looked back at the battle. The allies had quickly realized that Basara was on our side, probably because he was on an owl. The enemy was getting quite confused by that guy flying around on an owl singing. I'm sure the energy from the song contributed to that. I saw that Basara was trying to create an energy field to force the enemies back. Stardust transformed into a flaming horse in the sky and dove towards a group of the enemies. As they moved to avoid the fire they moved back behind Basara's shield. They soon found their attacks were getting nowhere. Finally they retreated into the distance and the battle was over.

The group of us were heading back to the temple. I wondered where Nomad had gone. I wondered if he had found the source of the problem. I wondered if he might have gotten in trouble. I told Basara I wanted to make sure Nomad was ok. He nodded as I took off. I focused on finding Nomad. I could sense where he had gone. His energy had left a trail. I followed that trail. It led into some foreboding mountains. The terrain reminded me of Mordor from Lord of the Rings. I spotted a tower in the middle of the wasteland. I flew in low to avoid being seen. I could sense something evil inside. And Nomad had gone straight to it. I climbed off of Stardust so I could go in more quietly. I focused deliberately on a cloak over me to hide my energy. I flew up the outside of the tower and looked into a room at the top. I saw Nomad watching a demon I could only think of as Sauron considering the setting. Sauron was looking into a pool of water that reminded me of a pensive from Harry Potter. There was an image of wraiths in it. Wraiths disguised as bat people. So that was the problem. Eliminate those wraiths, end the war. Sauron was talking about blood and death. Nomad had apparently seen enough. He left through a window on the other side of the tower. I wondered how we could get in and off those wraiths without angering the rest of them further. I felt like I was in a twisted game of Assassin's Creed where the corrupt leaders needed to be eliminated to prevent a war. Except there were no Templars, only wraiths. I wondered if there were any local Assassins… I was thinking about that when everything faded to black and I woke.

MAJOR CHILLS. I am overwhelmed my emotions I cannot even describe.

First of all, EPIC dream. I wonder if you'll continue it...?

Secondly, first time reading your DJ, and I'm glad I did! Your dreams are really vivid. Plus, I found this;

"Who is your master?" Altaïr demanded of the last Templar, "Who sent you? Who gave you your powers?"

"I will tell you nothing, assassin!" the Templar growled, "And next time we meet you will be begging me for a swift death!" He disappeared in a flash of black flames.

Woah! This supports my theory that someone's controlling them even more now! Yayyyy!

We will continue. I am glad you are gaining perception into our dreams. Super cool. Thanks for reading.
