Thread: Raven Knight's Dream Travels

I probably got impatient with my computer and clicked 'post' again in an attempt to make it hurry up so it posted twice. I deleted the extra post. With it on two different pages I hadn't noticed! Thx.

This is really more of a fragment of a dream. I wasn't lucid, but since I got a request, here is the dream...

I was in a strange place. I didn't recognize the location. It looked like the interior of a castle. My first thought was Hogwarts from the Harry Potter series. I saw I wasn't alone. There was a man there with me.

Note: Upon looking at the dream later I realize the man with me was my friend N, but I didn't realize that in the dream...

The man with me had a sword. I wondered if he thought we might be attacked within Hogwarts. I wondered if it was the Sword of Gryffindor. I wanted to see the sword. I went to approach the man but he disappeared through a door. I followed him. On the other side we were in a large room. Fluffy (the three headed dog from Harry Potter) was there. The dog was snarling at us menacingly like he might attack. It looked like he was guarding a door. The man with me pulled out his sword. I told the man not to attack the dog. Just sing Fluffy a song and he'll fall right asleep. I sang Fluffy a soothing song and he fell right asleep. The man I was with headed directly for the door. I went over to Fluffy. I was thinking it is strange how Hagrid likes potentially vicious creatures. I went over to the sleeping Fluffy's middle head and started petting his nose. His fur was actually rather soft. Nice to pet. If he hadn't been in 'guard dog' mode maybe he could be a nice pet. After all it's a guard dog's duty to look and maybe even act vicious. I was still petting Fluffy when I woke.

(you can call me Nomad)

The man with me had a sword. I wondered if he thought we might be attacked within Hogwarts. I wondered if it was the Sword of Gryffindor. I wanted to see the sword. I went to approach the man but he disappeared through a door. I followed him. On the other side we were in a large room. Fluffy (the three headed dog from Harry Potter) was there.

A ziggurat of yellow stone rose from the ground, layer by layer. There was a dark entrance in front of us. We went in. There were strange pictures on the walls. As we turned a corner, a giant three-headed dog stood before us, frothing at the mouths.

I drew my sword. Raven made a motion for me to sheath it, and began singing. The dog whimpered, and lied down, then fell asleep. We walked past Cerebus, into Hades.

I lost track of Raven and Selene at this point, but I wasn't worried anymore.

Wow. Yaay! The sword is a white sword that was given to me by Selene. When I use it with my energy gloves, I can charge the sword similar to the way you use your sword with lightning attacks.

I just had to make an account to tell you how AWESOME those assassins creed dreams are, I am really hoping you will dream up some more of those, don't leave Altaïr to the shadow Templars!

Note: For this night I decided to use a couple of the lucid dreaming aid audio files I found on this site. They are the dream recall one and a pair of electronic lucid dream induction files. I used them with my light/sound machine during my meditation. My initial plan was to induce a WILD. Here is the results:

I laid down on my bed with my light/sound device and focused on entering into a WILD taking place on the moon…

I was walking on the moon. This is getting to be a rather familiar thing. I had just gotten there through a WILD so I was able to maintain my lucidity. I was looking for someone. I was looking for Nomad. I wandered around on the moon for a while. I didn't see anyone. I looked up at the sky to see the stars. They were beautiful. There were so many more stars than I have ever seen. It was like looking into infinity. Looking into the stars made me a bit dizzy. I lost my full lucidity and slipped into semi-lucidity.

I wanted to find Nomad. I continued wandering around the moon. I still hadn't found him. I focused on Through the Never by Metallica and on opening a portal to find Nomad. A portal opened in front of me. I stepped through it. On the other side I was in a forest. I saw Nomad talking to a woman. I realized the woman was Selene. The sun was shining brightly. Nomad and Selene were talking about something. I couldn't hear what. They were pretty absorbed in their conversation. I wondered if there was something else I needed to be doing here. I was about to leave when someone called my name. I looked back over and saw Nomad was looking at me now. I said I hadn't wanted to interrupt. He said I wasn't interrupting. He asked where Spike was. I said I didn't know if he was coming. He might show up at any point. I asked if he wanted me to open a portal. He said he was ready to go.

I used Through the Never again this time to open a portal to wherever I needed to be. A portal opened. I went through the portal followed closely by Nomad and Selene. It was night time on the other side of the portal. I looked around as my eyes adjusted to the darkness. There were trees, but it didn't look like a forest. It looked like a park. I saw movement in the darkness. A man came over to me. I recognized him just as he kissed me. It was Spike. He said he thought he knew why I had come here. He said there was a gateway opened between this world and someone's idea of a nightmare. He said a woman had opened the gateway in order to get revenge on some people who had wronged her. He said the creatures from the nightmare had to be killed but in addition to that I needed to get to the woman first. He said that was enough talking, they were here.

I heard something in the trees. There were creatures coming out of the trees. A fight began. I wondered where I needed to specifically get to. I figured I would know when it happened. I noticed Nomad had a sword that seemed to be charged with energy. There were a lot of enemies coming through and I quickly lost track of all three of the others. I wasn't worried about it. I figured they can take care of themselves. I formed a sword in my hands and cut through a strange creature. I looked at the creatures. They were various mutated forms. All of them were about the size of a dwarf from a fantasy story, but they were all twisted forms that looked more like they belonged in a horror game like Resident Evil or Silent Hill. The weapons the creatures used ranged from swords to maces to razor sharp teeth and claws. A bracelet I was wearing formed itself into armor just like the Witchblade bracelet from the comic book Witchblade. I thought that was cool.

I fought my way through the enemies until I saw something different. There was a large gateway. A large glowing portal sitting on top of a small rocky hill. That was where the creatures were coming from. It was clear that unless that gateway was closed the creatures would just keep coming. I spotted a woman beside the gate. She appeared to be directing the creatures as they came out of the gate. I headed directly for her, cutting a path through the creatures as I approached. The woman saw I was coming straight for her and she turned towards me. She threw a blast of energy in my direction. I responded with a Metallica song; Whiplash. This song played and had the effect of sending her attack directly back at her. The energy blast hit her and it seemed to annoy her. I jumped up and out of the crowd of enemies so I could see the woman more clearly. She looked a bit like Cleopatra from the various Egyptian stories. Long black hair, golden head piece, long white dress. Her eyes were glowing red. I landed only a few feet in front of her. She formed a sword that was glowing red. We engaged in a brief sword battle before I got enough focus to use Until it Sleeps by Metallica. The song was playing. Cleopatra was surprised by the strange music. She went into a trance. When the song was over she looked disoriented. Her eyes were no longer glowing red. They were a rather beautiful shade of brown now. She looked around at the chaos being created by the strange creatures. She gestured and that seemed to call the creatures back. They returned to the portal and she closed it behind them. The park seemed somewhat wasted, but the creatures were gone. The dead creatures that were lying around turned to smoke and disappeared. I didn't hear her, but I saw Cleopatra mouth the words 'thank you' before she disappeared into a flash of white light. I wondered where Spike, Nomad, and Selene had gone. I didn't have a chance to look for them before everything faded to black and I woke.

I didn't have a chance to look for them before everything faded to black and I woke.

As I fell asleep, I focused on the moon. I was with Selene on the moon. I asked her why she wasn't reincarnated with me this lifetime. She said she didn't know, and a tear rolled down her cheek. I held her close to me, and said I still loved her. I told Selene, "If I ever fall in love with another woman, she is going to know about you, and understand." She snuggled into my neck.
I saw Raven Knight in the distance. She was talking to Spike. She kissed him goodbye. He looked at Selene and me, waved, then turned into a bat, and disappeared. I was startled by him doing that. Raven said, "He has stuff he has to do." I nodded.

Raven started "singing". Music came out of her. It sounded like two vibrations, a low and a high one. The low one was almost subsonic. A portal opened. I grabbed Selene's hand, and dove in. Raven followed.
We were riding Arabian horses in the Sahara, at a full sprint.


This is an excerpt from a dream I had about an Egyptian princess last month:

There was a beautiful princess that was being fawned upon and flattered by all the people around her.
She was tall, and looked half Black and half Arabian. She had short tiny bouncy dreadlocks, about eight inches long. Her hair was dark brown, and faded at the tips by the sun. Everyone was acting so fake and pretentious. I could tell the princess was getting annoyed, but she was trying to maintain her composure, and behave as was expected of her.
As I watched her, she suddenly pushed everyone away from her, and rushed toward the stage, pulling off her necklaces as she did it. She yelled, "I am just sick of all of this," and smashed her necklaces on the stage. One of the large necklaces broke, and wooden beads went everywhere.
I considered collecting the necklaces for my priest, but I didn't feel right about it. I thought, "It doesn't really matter." (a memory of lucidity, a semi-lucid moment.)
I picked up her necklaces, and some of the larger beads. I gathered them, and set them gently down on the stage. The crowd hushed, and moved away from the princess. They stood there staring. There were some servants moving about, hastily picking up the wooden beads from the broken necklace.
She leaned against the stage looking drained and frustrated, but she also had a sense of calm about her. I noticed the details of her face. She was very vivid and clear. She had large dark brown eyes, straight eyelashes, a small pointy nose, full lips, and a heart-shaped face. She had a cute small pointy chin. I even noticed she had a few pimples and her face was a little oily.
I told her, "I know exactly how you feel." I caressed her face and kissed her cheek. She closed her eyes when I kissed her, and then when she opened them, she looked at me, but in a vacant way as if she was looking past me. She looked so drained, and I felt so sorry for her.

Fascinating how our dreams diverge and come together. I wonder what is going on when that happens. It's interesting how you dreamed of Cleopatra, and I dreamed of being in the Sahara. I think sometimes we are sharing dreams, even lucid, but one of us forgets.

I know I had a very long epic dream last night that I completely forgot.

I like your Witchblade bracelet. I could totally picture the whole dream in my mind as you described it.

I was on the moon. I looked around. I couldn't think how I had gotten there, but it seemed completely normal for me to find myself on the moon. I was thinking I was going to meet someone on the moon. It seemed like a strange place to meet. I was slightly surprised that I could breathe on the moon. I didn't give it much thought, however. I set off to find Nomad. I wondered what kinds of nomads might be wandering around on the moon. I wondered if they were aliens. Or spirits. Or other people. I figured I would know when I found him.

After walking for a short distance I spotted a couple of people. I recognized them. I knew right away it was Nomad and Selene. I headed towards them. I saw there was someone approaching me from the side. I recognized him, too. It was Spike. He came over and kissed me.

"You might not realize it yet," Spike said to me, "but this is a dream, luv."

I was figuring if I was seeing Spike then I must be dreaming. I went with Spike over to where Nomad and Selene were waiting. I figured I would open a portal to get us somewhere interesting. I used Through the Never by Metallica and opened a portal. Nomad and Selene went right through it. Spike commented that they didn't even know where it went. I said I didn't know yet, either. We went through the portal.

On the other side of the portal we were in what looked like a space ship. A long corridor stretched out in both directions. An alarm was going off. I had the idea we would need weapons. The first thing that came to mind was a light saber. I focused on calling a light saber. One appeared. I thought everyone might need one. I called three more light sabers and passed them out to the others. I noticed when I activated it that my light saber was white. We had barely activated our light sabers when enemies came.

The enemies looked like dark Jedi. They were all dressed in black cloaks that completely covered them. They all had red light sabers. A battle started. There were many more of them than there were of us but the narrow corridor limited the number of enemies we had to face at a single time. I was facing one direction with Spike by my side and Nomad was facing the other direction with Selene by his side. The enemies attacked quickly. I blocked one attack and counter attacked quickly by cutting the attacking enemy right through the middle. The enemy disappeared in a puff of smoke. I thought that was strange. Spike had just run an enemy through with his light saber. That enemy also disappeared. It seemed none of these enemies was actually solid. They were all wraiths? All ghosts? I didn't know quite what to think of that. And I didn't have a lot of time to think about it. The attack kept coming fast and hard. I was wondering if the enemies would ever stop. I spotted a door off to the side. I wasn't the only one who spotted it. All four of us went through the door and it closed behind us. I could hear someone on the other side cursing.

Now we were in a long dark passage. The passage sloped upward. It was empty. The four of us followed the passage to the end. There was another door there. There was a computer keypad at the entrance. I went over to the keypad and looked at it. It needed a code to open the door. I somehow knew how to use the system. I hacked the code and the door opened. On the other side there was a bridge. The bridge of a space ship. The entire ceiling was clear and I could see that the ship was in orbit around a large gas giant. It actually looked quite amazing. There were more dark Jedi here so we didn't have a lot of time to admire the view. Another fight broke out. These ones seemed a bit stronger than the others, but we were still able to handle them. There weren't as many of the dark Jedi as there had been in the corridor so the battle ended more quickly. Now everything was peaceful on the bridge. I looked out the transparent ceiling at the gas giant we were orbiting. I wondered what planet it was. Spike walked over near Selene and looked at her closely. I wondered what he was doing.

While Spike was over with Selene, Nomad came over to me. He said how about a little one on one with light sabers. I wasn't immediately sure what he wanted until he attacked me with his light saber. I reflexively drew my light saber and blocked the attack. The light sabers sounded just like the ones on Star Wars when they collided. I was thinking it was pretty cool to be inside of Star Wars. Nomad and I exchanged a few attacks, all of them were blocked. Spike had turned around and seen what was happening. He took a couple of steps in our direction, but I signaled him that I could handle it. He stopped and was just watching closely. There was another attack from Nomad. I jumped out of the way and returned the attack. The fight went on for a bit longer until I hit his light saber just right to send it spinning out of his hand. He was laughing. He acted like a kid at a carnival. He just stood there and looked at me now. He told me to go ahead and kill him. Spike was beside me now. Spike asked if my friend there was mental. Spike asked Nomad if he had planned on killing me if he had won. He said of course. It's not like we can get hurt in a dream. Spike repeated that Nomad was completely mental. I put my light saber away. Nomad seemed annoyed. He said I had to finish it. I said it had been a training match. There's nothing to finish. I held out my hand to shake his hand and told him it had been a good match. Spike looked at Nomad strangely before walking with me towards the front of the bridge. I was looking at the planet outside when everything around me faded to black and I woke.

Cool! We did it!

I don't remember the Star Wars dream, but when I read it, I got major chills, like when I remember a fragment from a past life. I was in a very deep sleep last night, and I don't remember a lot of dreams.

For some reason, a lot of stuff you perceive as one, I perceive as two. Like, us each having a sword in the forest, but in my dream we each had two one-handed swords. I remember some of the dream battle where we fought. I thought you would kick my ass, but I wanted to see what would happen. In my dream we had quarterstaffs with white glowing ends, like Darth Maul's lightsaber, and we were on the moon while battling.

And I do have a dream death wish. I want to see what happens if I die in a dream. You don't have to kill me though. I am probably just going to kill myself. I suspect I will just go somewhere else. I think I should probably do this while no one else is around though.


I am getting obsessed with the dream plane.

I was on the moon. I didn't know where I was or what was going on. I walked around for a while. I spotted a familiar face. He was standing on the moon and watching me as if he was waiting for me. I want over to him. He said he wanted to fight again. At first I didn't realize what he was talking about. I realized I was talking to Nomad.

Note: I became lucid here...

I looked around the moon. I said if he wants another training match then let's do it. I said he could select the weapons. He said he didn't have any weapons. I told him to just focus. Focus on the weapons he wanted to have. Picture them as clearly as if they were right here with us… and then they would be. In the dream state summoning a weapon is not difficult. I told him to go ahead and try it. He seemed to be focusing on something. He concentrated for a bit and then said it wasn't working. I told him not to give up. It can take time to get it, but then it will be easier later. He closed his eyes and seemed to be focusing. A staff appeared in each of his hands. The staffs had ends that were glowing with energy. He seemed quite happy to have summoned the weapons. He said he had actually done it. I said congratulations, not let's get down to business. Nomad handed me one of the staffs and we prepared to fight.

The fight began. I jumped out of the way of an attack and returned attacks. Nomad proved he had some moves in the dream state as he avoided my attacks. I used the staff to launch myself up and over Nomad to attack him from another direction. He turned around quickly to block the attack. We continued the fight, showing off an array of moves. The acrobatics were even easier than normal since we were in the low gravity of the moon. After a bit longer I turned and blocked an attack he was making.

"You got some nice moves," I said with a smile, "Now how 'bout we kick it up a notch?"

"Let's do it," Nomad replied. He swung his staff at me. I focused on teleporting directly behind him. I teleported and then swept his feet from under him with my staff and he fell on his ass. I asked if he could teleport. I said it is all in focusing. Just picture yourself where you want to be. And make sure the image is clear in your mind. He said he hadn't teleported like that. I said he should try it now. Just focus. He said how about if we just fight. He came at me. I teleported out of his way and to a location behind him. I sent an energy pulse from the end of my staff that pushed him forward enough that he lost his balance and fell forward. He rolled and got up immediately and came at me again. I blocked the attack with my staff. I said it would be a perfect time to teleport behind me for an attack. He looked like he was focusing on something but nothing happened. I teleported behind him and pushed him forward. Without me in front of him he fell forward again. I told him he would probably want to practice teleporting in the dream state. Very useful, especially in a fight. I felt the dream slipping. I told him I was about to wake up, but we could meet up later.

I was in a strange place. I walked around for a while. I was in what looked like a town from an RPG. It was night time. I wondered where I was. There weren't any people around since it was dark out. I continued wandering, wondering why I was there. I finally spotted someone. It was an armed guard wandering around. He looked bored. He had a sword and also looked like someone off of an RPG. I figured it might look odd to have someone wandering around at night so I turned back into the shadows before he saw me. After wandering a bit more I heard something. Loud voices. I followed the voices. I wondered what was going on. I got closer to the voices and I was able to understand what was being said. There was a small pavilion area surrounded by tall walls. There was one person who seemed to be chewing out a lot of others. He was telling them he was sick of their lame excuses. He said they were pathetic to let some woman interfere with their completing their orders. I got close enough so I could peek around a corner into the pavilion and see what was going on.

There was one man standing in the middle of a group of other men. All of them looked like warriors of some kind. They were all armed with swords. The man in the middle seemed to have a dark aura around him. I wondered what was different about him. I couldn't see his face since he had a helmet on. He was telling those around him that it was a pathetic excuse that some woman kept them from completing their mission. One of the people said that the woman wasn't just any woman… she was a witch. She had powers they had never seen before. The leader said he had given his people powers that had never been seen before. So a witch is no excuse for their failure. I heard someone near the edge of the group mutter that if the leader thought it was so easy then maybe he should go kill the assassin. A black blade shot out from the leader's hand and removed that individual's head. The head rolled over beside my feet as the body collapsed. The leader removed his helmet and asked if there were any more complaints. No one responded this time. I looked at the leader a bit closer. He looked familiar. I blinked quickly a couple of time and rubbed my eyes. It looked like the guy off of Assassin's Creed who is the leader of the Templars… I couldn't think of his name. I probed my head for the name… Robert?

Note: I looked it up: The name is Robert De Sable. Even though I wasn't sure of his name, seeing him made me realize I was dreaming.

He didn't look exactly like he does in Assassin's Creed. The main difference was his face. It looked like Robert, but a lot older and more evil. His eyes were pure blackness. His eyes seemed to radiate blackness. He seemed to have a dark aura. He looked directly at me. I instinctively ducked around the corner. I wasn't sure why I didn't want to be seen. I told myself that I was in the dream state so there was absolutely nothing to fear from a loser like Robert even if he did have a dark aura. Besides, he had already seen me. He asked his people, whom I was presuming were Templars, if that was the witch they were so afraid of. I came out into the open. I looked at some of the Templars standing around. I wondered if they had dark auras also. I didn't see the auras. Either they didn't have them or their auras weren't very strong. Robert asked what everyone was waiting for, kill the witch now! He fired a beam of black energy into several of the Templars standing right around me. They turned to face me. They had dark auras now. They attacked me.

"What are you attacking me for?" I asked, "I didn't do nothing!"

But I responded to the attacks even as I said that. If Robert wanted a display of my magic I would be more than happy to give him one… but I wanted to use it on him! I jumped out of the path of the attacking Templars and landed on the wall around the pavilion. They really did look quite foolish. They were swinging their black swords where I had been but now they were attacking empty air. I was running along the top of the wall now. I focused on Battery, targeting the white lightning on Robert. The lightning struck but it didn't hit the target. It seemed to hit a shield of some kind. I wasn't really too surprised. I wondered how much power I could put into that lightning. I focused on Battery again and on increasing the power of the lightning. The white lightning still flowed around Robert, although this time it was powerful enough that it hit several of the Templars standing closest to him. Those Templars fell over to the ground as they were hit.

A pair of the Templars that had been chasing after me had actually gotten up on the wall and now they attacked me with their swords. As I avoided those attacks I called out a sword of my own and hit it with a bolt of lightning to charge it up. I countered their attacks and cut those two Templars down. They were consumed by white lightning. Robert looked pissed. He said he has to do everything himself. He used the same black blade he had used to decapitate the complaining Templar. I jumped out of the way of that blade and landed on it (it was about six inches wide on its side). I ran down the black blade towards Robert, now I could get right up to him with my sword. He retracted the black blade from under my feet. I landed in the middle of a sea of Templars. I didn't want to fight all those stupid Templars. I wanted to go to the source of the darkness. I could barely see Robert through the attacking Templars. I saw him radiate out a wave of dark energy… and then he disappeared.

"Come back here, you flakey jerk!" I yelled after him.

The Templars around me all had the blackness in their eyes now. And my target was gone. I was annoyed. I pulled a move from Legend of Zelda - Link's spin attack. I spun around with my energized sword and cut down all of the Templars who were close enough to get hit. There were three Templars completely consumed by white lightning. I thought maybe Robert hadn't gone far. I took to the sky, flying far above the sea of Templars. There was no sign of Robert. I wondered where the coward had gone. I flew a short distance from the pavilion before I felt the dream slipping. Everything faded to black as I woke.

BADASS. You are going to have to write a book. Funny thing, right after he retracted his blade, and you fell into the group of Templars, I said in my head, "Do a spin attack!"

Running down the blade was the most kickass part. Is that a move in the game?

I went to sleep focusing on having a WILD. The lights from my light/sound machine slowly faded into a coherent image of the moon as I drifted off to sleep and into a dream state…

I was on the moon. I was thinking I have been spending a lot of time on the moon. It didn't even seem strange to me. I had to remind myself that I was dreaming. I repeated several times to myself that I was dreaming. I maintained lucidity in that manner as I started looking around the moon. I spotted someone else on the moon. I approached that person. I recognized Nomad. I approached him. He said he wanted to go to that place I had told him about so we could fight there. I said Q could take us to a training area… He said yes, that was it. I telepathically focused on contacting Q. Q appeared next to me. Q asked what it was I needed. He pointed out it is always nice to see me. I pointed at Nomad. I introduced them to each other. Q looked at Nomad closely. He said there is a coliseum in the Outer Realms where he could send us. He snapped his fingers and then the area around us changed. We were now in what looked like an ancient Roman coliseum. He pointed at one side of the area where there were weapons. Nomad picked up a staff that had a blade on each end of it. Q asked if that was the weapon he wanted to use. Nomad started playing around with it. Q handed me a similar weapon. The rack of weapons disappeared. Q stepped aside and said to let the match begin.

We started dueling with the staffs. We exchanged attacks for a short time before I teleported out of the path of one of his attacks and ended up behind him where I used my staff to sweep his feet from under him and he fell on the ground. He got up quickly and then disappeared himself. I felt a presence behind me and jumped out of the way of an attack from behind. Apparently Nomad had teleported behind me. We continued exchanging attacks for a bit longer.

"How about you try this out?" I asked. I focused on the Metallica song Metal Militia and used it to summon a large number of clones of myself. There were now a lot of me. I was standing all around Nomad in a circle. Each of us was pointing the blade of their staff into the circle directly at Nomad. "A pocket full of spears…" The cloned me's started attacking. I kept it to the rules followed in Assassin's Creed where even when there are a lot of enemies they only seem to attack one at a time. The clones of me charged in one after the other and attacked Nomad. Some of the attacks seemed to get through, he blocked others. It then looked like he was focusing on something. I held off my clones for a bit to see what he was trying. He multiplied himself. Now the coliseum was filled with numerous one-on-one fights between a Nomad and a Raven. I (the real me) was facing one of the Nomads. It was a clone. I ran my blade through the clone's neck and killed it. The clone vanished. The fight continued for a bit longer until I found myself fighting the real Nomad. He was coming at me. I dropped my own staff and grabbed his, flipping him by his own staff. I then pointed the blade end at Nomad's neck and announced he was dead. Of course I wasn't really going to kill him… and I told him that.

Spike was there, and Selene was also. I asked how long they had been there. Spike said they had come to watch the show. Nomad said if I wasn't going to kill him he would kill himself. Spike said he saw Nomad was still mental. Selene said she didn't want him to kill himself. Q appeared beside us. He said we were in the training area. No one can die here. So if he wants to kill himself, no one would get hurt. Selene said she didn't want to watch Nomad kill himself. Nomad said he would do it in another room then. He turned and walked away. Spike looked at Nomad as he left and then back at me. He just rolled his eyes and repeated that Nomad is completely mad. Selene looked worried. Q reassured her that Nomad wouldn't die. Although he did have to admit it is odd for someone here to kill themselves. He said he hoped Nomad didn't have the same suicidal tendencies in his waking life… Shortly later Nomad re-spawned in front of us. He said that was cool. Spike shook his head but said nothing this time. Nomad said he had been in a void. Q said if everyone was done, we would get going. He snapped his fingers. That was the last thing I knew before I woke.

I was in a strange place. I didn't recognize the location. It looked like a town out of an RPG. For some reason that was seeming completely normal. I began walking through the town. There were people at various merchant stands, people talking to each other, people going about their daily business. I was trying to remember what I was doing. Had I been going somewhere? Had I come to the market to get something? I couldn't remember. That seemed a bit odd. I was just standing in the street when a guard approached me. He said I was coming with him. I asked why. He said I was under arrest. I asked why. He took hold of my arm and tried to lead me away. I pulled my arm from his hand and said I wasn't going anywhere until he told me why I should. He said because if I didn't cooperate then he would simply return with my dead body. His threat seemed lame at best. Even though I wasn't lucid I had the idea he wouldn't stand a chance against me. I asked exactly who he thought was going to kill me.

"Because if you say it's you that will kill me…" I paused… "actually you might just succeed… I might die laughing."

The guard gave me a dirty look. He said it was time to go. I asked why. He grabbed my arm again. I took hold of his arm in return and flipped him. I was now standing over him as he was on the ground on his back. He had a surprised look on his face which changed to an angry look. I stepped one foot on his chest to keep him from getting up. I asked who had sent him. He didn't answer me. He called out to other guards that he had found an assassin. I did a double take. An assassin? I asked who the assassin was. The guard took hold of my foot and tried to push me off. I kept my balance and held him there. I asked again who the assassin was. He said I would never escape this time. And he called me an assassin. I asked if he really thought I was an assassin. More guards were arriving. I noted the fact that if I had been a real assassin the guard I was holding down would've been dead long before help arrived. I was attacked.

A bracelet on my right arm (like the bracelet Witchblade on the comic Witchblade) formed into a sword and also formed armor on me. I turned quickly and defended myself. There were numerous guards closing in around me. I deflected several attacks, but the fight hadn't gone on long before more guards arrived. But these ones were different. The normal guards stopped attacking me and backed off when the new arrivals said to. One of the new arrivals said the witch was theirs. First an assassin and now a witch? As the guards stepped aside I saw the new arrivals better. They were Templars. Seeing Templars made me go lucid…

Now I stood in the center of a group of Templars. I looked closely at them. Their eyes were black. That seemed familiar. Shadow Templars. That would need white lightning to defeat them. I was ready to be attacked. There were five Shadow Templars. I used Battery on my sword to charge it with white lightning. A fight started. I dodged to the side and avoided a couple of attacks before running my sparking sword through a Templar's chest. He was consumed by white lightning. The fight continued. I dodged attacks and returned counter attacks until I ran my sword through the last Templar. He smiled as I killed him.

"You may have won here, witch," he hissed, "but you're already too late!"

I asked what he was talking about but he was consumed with white lightning. What was I too late for? Where did I need to be? Apparently I needed to be there about an hour ago! I focused on trying to figure out where I needed to be. I thought a portal would be the best option. I used Through the Never and focused on opening a portal to where I needed to be. A portal opened. I saw the guards I had been fighting earlier were returning. They were staring at the portal. I went through it and it closed behind me.

On the other side of the portal I was standing on the outer wall of a castle. There were people in the courtyard down below. They looked like Templars. They were all cheering and looking up at a balcony. I looked up at the balcony. There were several Templars on the balcony. All of them had dark auras. One of them had his black sword through a man's mid section. The Templar pulled his sword from his victim. The wound was bleeding heavily. The Templar shoved his victim off of the balcony into the crowd below. I was able to see the man as he fell from the balcony. I took an involuntary step backwards as I realized why that Templar had said I was too late. The man who had been stabbed was Altaïr. I saw the body land on the ground below and several of the Templars closest were kicking it. I was sooooo PISSED. And I made my view known. I cursed loudly at them.

"You BASTARDS!" I yelled at the whole group of Templars, making myself loud enough to be heard even over the cheering. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at me now. "I'll send you all right back to hell where you came from!" I used a song spell called Dark Powers of the Abyss by Rhapsody. This part of the song has always seemed like it should be a magic spell, and a powerful one, too. I started the spell while I was still on the castle walls.

"And suddenly the unreal silence is broken by a lament," I said the spell out loud. All of the Templars but one were quiet now so they heard me. That one was the one who had killed Altaïr. He was laughing. "A lament coming up from the deepest, darkest, abyss… And from the seven gates of the dark fortress, the dead come back to life to face them… this is hell!" I jumped off of the castle wall and landed right where I had seen Altaïr's body land; right in the middle of the crowd of Templars. The Templar who had killed Altaïr gave the order to kill the witch. But they were too late. My spell was activated.

Note: I got so wrapped up in my spell song that I partially lost lucidity:

"Immortal fire, now rise, light my heart, light my way through the darkness… a guardian of space and time!" And a powerful immortal fire did rise. A wall of white fire flared up all around me, incinerating every Templar it touched. The blast of white fire filled up the courtyard. A few of the Templars near the outer edge of the courtyard made a break for it, heading for exits to get out of the path of the flames. When the flames died out I was alone with Altaïr's body. I had landed right beside it. I saw the Templar responsible looking down from the balcony above. He was next. I saw him disappear into the castle. I got up to chase after him…

But then I saw Altaïr move. He wasn't dead. But he was bleeding. If I took the time to go after that Templar he would surely be dead before I got back… So I didn't follow the Templar. I went over to Altaïr and focused on the song Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack. I focused healing energy on Altaïr. I saw out of the corner of my eyes when a couple of Templars looked like they might try to interfere. I glared over at them briefly and they backed off. I figured they didn't like the idea of facing a pissed off assassin witch. I continued with my healing song. It felt like it was working. Altaïr was no longer bleeding. He was still covered with blood. And he was unconscious. I hadn't realized I was strong enough to do so but I lifted Altaïr and carried him towards the exit. There were several Templars blocking the entrance but they quickly moved out of the way. Then I wondered why I was walking. I focused on opening a portal to a safe place. A portal opened and I carried Altaïr through it.

On the other side I was in a comfortable looking room. There was a bed there. I lied the unconscious Altaïr on the bed. I then repeated the Voices song spell. I was doing that when the door opened and a surprised man came in. He was dressed like an assassin.

"Who are you?" the assassin asked, "How did you…" his eyes fell on Altaïr in the bed and he seemed more concerned about that than about who I was. "Altaïr! What happened? Is he…" he didn't want to finish that sentence.

I had finished my healing spell. I felt that Altaïr would be safe now. I kissed Altaïr on his forhead then I got up. The assassin still wanted to know what was going on. I said it had been a Templar trap. I told him my name is Raven and I am a healer. I said I had healed Altaïr so he should be ok now. I felt the dream slipping. I saw Altaïr sit up. The other assassin told Altaïr he needed to rest. I heard Altaïr say my name but I didn't hear anything else before I woke.

excerpt from my dream journal:

I went back to the Moon, and I was me again.

"There you are!" said a voice. It was Raven. "Hi! Let's meet Q. I want to duel in that arena."

missing time (for some reason I don't remember meeting Q)

We were in a great empty colloseum. Raven and I were fighting with double-bladed staffs. The weapons were kickass. I think Selene and Spike may have been there, but I don't remember. She started teleporting around me. I tried it. I did it a couple times, but not anywhere as near as well as she did.

There was a pause in the battle. Suddenly she multiplied herself into an army of about 100 Raven Knights. "Holy shit! I wonder if I can do that."

I did also. It came pretty easily to me. I tried to see out of the eyes of all the me's, remember Mylynes having that ability, but I couldn't. The best I could do was to go into third person.

It was amazing to watch. Every time one of the copies died, they disappeared, and became part of the living ones. Then there was just Raven and I. She defeated me, and pointed the blade at my throat. "I am not going to kill you, even if this is a dream!" she said.

"Well, then, I am am going to do it myself."

I was aware of Spike and Selene. Spike said, "You're nuts."

"Don't!" said Selene. "You are going to traumatize me."

"Fine, I'll go into one of those rooms in the colloseum and do it. It's just a dream anyway."

"Okay... well, go ahead," she relented.

"I am not really going to die."

"I know."

I got down on my knees, and drew my sword. I commited harakiri, but no one cut off my head. My sword felt like warm light going into me. I was suddenly in The Void. There was whiteness all around, and nothing solid. There was no sound. I was a faint little flame flickering in The Void.

I went back to the colloseum.

"Cool!" I said.

"Well, what happened?" said Raven.

"I went into The Void for a second."

"Interesting," said Raven.

My dream continued from there. These two entries are so identical, I am not going to bother highlighting the similarities. It's so awesome that we can do this over and over. It's great to battle someone who is my better. It's the only way to learn.

That Assassin's Creed dream was so badass. I got chills reading it.!

Wow, the assassins creed dream, I can't help but feel that my previous comment influanced you, if but slightly, As Nomad said, BADASS!
I just wish it where longer

I fell asleep focusing on entering into a WILD. I found myself on the moon. I was looking for Nomad. I was thinking we were going to try to get someone to be lucid in the dream state. I didn't remember who. And I certainly didn't know how to find that person. I figured I should find Nomad first. I started walking around on the moon. I was looking around again when a portal opened in the air. A man flew through the portal and landed on the ground in front of me, stirring up a cloud of moon dust as he landed. It was Nomad. I asked where he had been. A few more people came through the portal. I didn't recognize any of them. Nomad stood up and looked at them. A hand came through the portal and grabbed Nomad, pulling him back through. I did a double take at that. I took flight to follow Nomad through the portal but the portal closed just before I got to it.

"Come back here, you flakey jerk!" I yelled after whoever it was who had grabbed Nomad. I looked back at the surface of the moon. The people who had come with Nomad were wandering around a bit. Should I tend to them? I was wondering what might have grabbed Nomad. I was about to open a portal and follow Nomad when a portal opened and Nomad came through. This time the portal closed behind him. I asked him what had happened. He said he had been in a fight. He was covered with slime.

"That's nasty!" I said, quoting Donkey from Shrek II (after Puss 'N Boots coughed up a hairball), "You've been slimed!" I hit Nomad with a wave of energy that was strong enough to incinerate the slime without harming him. He thanked me and started looking at the people who had come through his portal. He seemed to recognize some of them. I asked if he wanted to make his friend lucid. He said yes. I said he should open the portal since I don't know his friend. He opened a portal and we went through it.

On the other side we were in someone's bedroom. There was someone asleep in the bed. Nomad went to wake the person up. The person sat up on the bed. I was having trouble seeing him clearly. Actually I was having trouble seeing anything clearly. I was getting a bit disoriented. The person we had awakened asked who we were. I told him he was dreaming. I tried to remind myself of the same thing. I was losing the dream. Nomad opened a portal. Something pulled him through. The portal closed behind him. I felt the dream slip away from me and I woke.

Note: I was only awake briefly. I was thinking about what had grabbed Nomad and I wanted to get back into the dream state to find out what it was. I maintained lucidity and went back into the dream state for a WILD…

I was on the moon now. I was alone there. I looked around and wondered where Nomad had gone. I focused on making a portal to follow him. A portal opened. Before I could go through it, however, someone else came. A zombie from Resident Evil. I did a double take and my portal closed. The zombie came over towards me. Even though I was on the moon a wave of stink hit my nose. I wrinkled my nose as I eyed the zombie. The zombie was laughing at me. The zombie grew huge and tried to grab hold of me. I used Damage, Inc. by Metallica to hit the zombie with fireballs. It burst into flames and returned to its normal size.

I was talking to myself more than anything, "Great. A reject from Resident Evil."

The zombie transformed again. This time it transformed into a huge black blob of some kind. The blob came at me and completely surrounded me. The smell was nauseating. I focused on the song Damage, Inc. by Metallica. I used it to create an expanding wall of flames that moved outwards from me. The blast of fire pushed the blob/zombie thing away from me and set it on fire as it did. The blob released me and moved out into space, still burning brightly. I could hear a scream of rage or pain or both. The blob turned back into a zombie again. He looked pissed. I asked the zombie who the hell he was. He said he was a f**king dreamstalker. I told him he had stalked into the wrong dream this time.

The zombie laughed. It was drooling. It was disgusting. Some kind of tentacle erupted from its stomach and came at me. My bracelet (like the Witchblade from the comic Witchblade) formed into a sword and I cut off the Tentacle as it came at me. The tentacle tried to wrap itself around the sword. I used Battery and sent a blast of Electricity back up the tentacle into the zombie. The zombie was being electrocuted when I saw a portal open. Nomad was there and trying to get the zombie's attention. The zombie turned and went to attack Nomad.

"Don't you try to ignore me!" I yelled at the zombie and used Battery to hit the zombie with a huge bolt of lightning. That threw the zombie into the air where Nomad hit it with a wave of energy that sent it flying. The zombie landed and made a small crater in the ground. I told Nomad that someone had been playing too much Resident Evil. I noticed Selene had shown up and seemed to want a piece of the zombie. She was firing energy blasts at the zombie. I added another bolt of lightning. I saw Spike was also there. The zombie had been much larger, but he was shrinking as he was attacked. When he was about the size of a normal man I saw Spike attack him. Spike must have thought he was Alex Mercer off of Prototype… he grabbed hold of the zombie and actually consumed it. He absorbed the entire mass of the zombie into himself. I heard the zombie shriek out as it was consumed. I was thinking that would make Spike sick. Consuming something that disgusting can't be healthy… even for a vampire. Spike must have seen a worried look on my face because he smiled.

"Not to worry, luv," he said, "that zombie was mostly illusion."

I hugged Spike. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

I fell asleep with my light/sound meditation device on. I focused on going to heal my friend Alicia. The image of her room began to form clearly in my mind as I slipped off into sleep and into a WILD.

Note: I seem to be having an amazing amount of success using meditation and my light/sound machine to induce WILDs! I believe it is the most success I have ever had! I have tried using meditation before, but either I wasn't doing it right or the light/sound machine makes a big difference. I would recommend trying it to anyone who is having trouble LDing… as long as you don't have epilepsy… or light sensitivity… Just search "mind machine" on eBay. Unfortunately they aren't cheap…

I was now standing beside Alicia's bed in her dark bedroom. I could see everything in pretty good detail. The clock beside her bed read 3:02. The house was quiet. I looked at Alicia as she was sleeping in her bed. I focused on the area of her body which seems to be having the problems. Her abdominal area; her digestive areas. I could see her energy. Most of it looked blue. But in the area where I knew the illness is it looked red. Maybe that was an indication of where I needed to focus the healing energy. I focused on the song Voices off of the Macross Plus soundtrack. The song played. I could hear the music but it didn't seem to be disturbing Alicia's sleep. As the song was playing a flow of blue energy seemed to flow through Alicia's body. It was carrying the red energy away; replacing it with clean blue energy. When the song was about to end I started it again. I didn't know how much healing energy would be needed to cleanse the illness from her body. I couldn't think of any possible negative side effect to having too much healing energy. The worst thing I could think of happening is she would be bouncing off the walls with excess energy when she woke up. And I had the idea that since this illness has been growing over a period of time it might take quite a bit of healing energy to get rid of it. I repeated the song for a total of three times. Somehow that seemed like a good number. I decided to go with my instinct on that. I stepped away from my sleeping friend. She rolled over but didn't awaken. I wondered if I could wake up her dream self. I wondered if she would remember seeing me in her dreams. I decided I shouldn't do that. She doesn't usually remember her dreams. And I also thought she needed to rest after the session of healing spells. I walked over to her bedroom window. And then I passed right through it. I was now outside her house. The street was quiet. I thought it was a nice night to take a flight. I took to the sky. I landed on the roof of Alicia's house to look around. I was wondering where I wanted to go. I took flight again and flew over Alicia's neighborhood. I was wondering if I could go see anyone else I know. I wouldn't interfere with their dreams, I just wanted to look in and see if I could get there. I thought of another friend of mine. Allison. I wondered if I could fly over to her apartment. I was hoping she wouldn't consider it rude just to peek in. I was thinking it would be hard to find her apartment at night. I could fly there. I would just take the route I normally do and follow the streets down below. I started doing that. The wind in my face felt great. I got swept up in the thrill of flight and I lost my lucidity… and then I lost the dream entirely.

How beautiful. Dreams like this make me think that astral projection and dreaming are almost the same thing. I think astral projection is just more like you're on the physical plane with the astral plane layered over it, but hmm... we should ask our dream guides about the nature of this.

Your caring spirit shows through.

Note: I didn't enter this dream as a WILD so I was not lucid at the beginning of the dream:

I was on the moon. That didn't seem at all strange to me. I was thinking how cool it was that I was one of the first people to take up permanent residence on the moon. I was thinking I could only stay outside for a certain length of time before the inhospitable environment of the moon started getting to me. The cold, the lack of atmosphere… I didn't notice anything right now. I was breathing fine and the temperature was perfect. I was thinking it could sneak up on me. One minute I might be fine and the next I could be suffocating. I started looking for the entrance to the building I lived in. I was thinking it was like the Biosphere in Arizona. A completely self-contained environment. I didn't see it. I did see a woman wandering on the moon. She seemed to be looking for someone. I walked over to her. I didn't recognize her as someone I was living with. I wondered if there was more than one Biosphere on the moon. I asked the woman where she was from. She looked at me and smiled. She had long black hair and dark eyes. She said it wasn't normal for her to find me when I wasn't lucid. I asked what she was talking about. She told me I was dreaming. She asked if I had seen Nomad. I hadn't seen anyone else so I said no. I focused on the fact she had said I was dreaming. I decided to do a reality check. I tried to fly and found I could. I landed in front of Selene, becoming lucid.

Selene asked me again if I had seen Nomad. I said no, I had just gotten there. She said she was wondering if Nomad had run in to that night stalker again. I was thinking of a Resident Evil zombie. I was also thinking the zombie needed to have its ass kicked. I was thinking about going to find the zombie when a portal opened. Nomad came through the portal. There was a zombie following him. I formed Witchblade into a sword and prepared to attack the zombie. Today is a good day to kill zombies! I was going to attack the zombie but it looked like Nomad had other ideas. He said he was going to fight the zombie one on one in the coliseum. I did a double take, but I figured the training area would do fine for the match. I would need Q… I focused on telepathically contacting Q. Q appeared in front of me. I told him what Nomad wanted to do. Q said if Nomad wanted an official match between him and Tooth then it would be so. Q snapped his fingers and the area around us changed…

I was standing between Spike and Q in a coliseum. Q announced that the match should begin. He told me he was going to monitor things from a different point of view. He disappeared in a flash of white light. I looked out into the middle of the arena. Nomad was facing down a zombie. I assumed the zombie was Tooth. I still thought he looked like he belonged on Resident Evil. The zombie reached out to grab Nomad but Nomad punched him right in the face. It looked like Nomad's arm got longer… Tooth dropped an F-bomb. I heard Q's voice announce that Nomad had won the first round. Tooth dropped another F-bomb as he found himself back on his own side of the coliseum facing Nomad again.

Nomad transformed into a large minotaur. The zombie changed into a giant bull. My mind wandered to a video I had seen on YouTube, the preview for a video game coming up. "They call me The Bull…" I was thinking The Bull was a loser. I was brought back to the present when Selene was jumping for joy. I saw the situation in the coliseum now involved a beautiful unicorn with an impossibly long horn charging at the bull as the bull was charging at the unicorn. The unicorn's horn impaled the bull's head right between the eyes. Q announced the second round went to Nomad. They were back in their starting positions. Tooth dropped another F-bomb.

Tooth didn't transform this time but he attacked with the same tactic as a mad bull… He charged at Nomad with no apparent plan at all. Nomad just intercepted the charge and flipped Tooth right over and onto his back. Tooth landed on his back with a crash and an expletive. Q announced Nomad had won the third round. They were back in their starting positions. Tooth dropped a couple more F-bombs. Spike commented that the only thing Tooth seemed good at was cursing.

The zombie was dropping very fluent F-bombs now. Nomad asked if he could not say anything else. As a response he dropped another F-bomb. I figured that meant no, he could say nothing else. The two combatants went at each other in martial arts style now. When they were about to meet in the middle Nomad teleported behind Tooth and shoved him from behind. Tooth fell face first into the dirt, dropping a muffled F-bomb as he fell. Q announced the end of round four with Nomad as the winner.

Tooth started growing. The zombie kept increasing in size. In contrast Nomad shrunk. Tooth dropped a couple more F-bombs. Nomad multiplied and surrounded the zombie, circling around him and mocking him. Tooth stomped at the circling Nomads. The small Nomads swarmed over the zombie, stabbing at Tooth from all over. The giant zombie was flailing about trying to pull the tiny attackers off of him. He finally fell over with a CRASH and another loud F-bomb.

Note: I got distracted by Spike and ended up being semi-lucid.

Spike seemed to be getting bored with the fight. He pulled me into his arms and kissed me. I noticed he was shirtless. And that was hot. I was turned on. I barely noticed Q announcing the match was over. I was lost in Spike's eyes. I vaguely heard Selene saying she loves unicorns. Nomad was saying he wanted to do more. I wanted Spike. I told Nomad he might want to wake up and record the dream. I kissed Spike. I got jolted out of my fantasy as my ears were assaulted by a wave of expletives.

"What the f**ck kind of f**king bullshit was that supposed to be?" I looked over and saw a Resident Evil zombie cursing fluently and spitting green stuff as he cursed. It was really quite disgusting. I told the zombie it had looked like him getting his ass kicked. I said I had thought that was obvious. He was saying it hadn't been a fair fight. I asked who had interfered. He said it had been fixed. He dropped some more expletives. I asked Q if he could flush the potty mouth. Q snapped his fingers and created a large toilet. The toilet contained a vortex portal. The portal sucked Tooth in and made a flushing sound as he disappeared through it. The toilet disappeared. I couldn't help but laugh. Spike said that is what should be done with all pieces of shit. Flush them. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

I fell asleep in my room using my light / sound machine and a CD I just burned that consists of isochronic tones I downloaded just tonight. In case anyone doesn't know, isochronic tones seem to be pulses of sound designed to alter brainwave frequency and aid in meditation. I downloaded them for free from Iso-Tones.com. Here is the results:

I closed my eyes and focused on the patterns of light on the inside of my eyelids. They patterns quickly formed into an image of my friend Alicia's room My goal was to do another healing session on Alicia. I intend to do several more over the next week and then find out if she is feeling any better. I hope she is. I slipped into a lucid dream in Alicia's room. I utilized the dream to focus healing energy on Alicia as she slept using Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack.

Note: This dream actually turned out much like the last dream where I healed Alicia. That is it seemed the same until I was ready to leave…

I stepped away from the sleeping Alicia and turned to go out the window. I was thinking I might take a flight around town. I was wondering if I was dreaming or astral projecting. I felt like I was in the dream state. But I wasn't really sure. I flew through the window and looked around outside. I saw the moon high in the sky. It was a full moon. That didn't seem right. I couldn't think what phase the moon was in on the physical plane. Something was reaching out from the moon. It looked strange. It looked alien.

Note: As I watch this strange phenomenon my lucidity slipped to semi-lucidity...

I watched it as it reached out from the moon and snaked its way towards the ground. It was a tentacle of some kind. The moon had an alien tentacle? I flew up closer to the tentacle to look at it. It was dripping with slime. It also smelled bad. My next thought was that the moon was taking a dump. That made no sense. The tentacle suddenly wrapped around my leg and pulled me up to the moon. I formed a sword from my Witchblade bracelet and cut the tentacle off of me. I did a flip in the low gravity and landed on the moon. I looked around for the source of the tentacle. There was a strange creature there. Strange and ugly… It looked like a zombie from Resident Evil. It was covered with tentacles. The zombie had sent the tentacle. The moon hadn't been taking a dump. The zombie was one of the most hideous examples of a Resident Evil zombie.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked the zombie. Even though it was a zombie I was thinking I might get a response. The zombie laughed at me. It was drooling ooze. A wave of stench rolled off of the zombie and assaulted my sense of smell. The zombie seemed familiar. It said I had wanted to meet it on the moon, so here we were. Memories of the Dreamview forum came back to me. A dreamstalker… I had said to meet me on the moon if he wanted to do something more productive. I asked if he was ready to do something more productive than invade people's dreams. He just laughed. I said if he was looking to make his enemies puke, mission accomplished. I felt like puking as we spoke. Dream puking. Really fun. But most enemies we would face would not find an ooze dripping, partially decayed zombie either offensive or intimidating. I was about to ask if he could take any other form when a tentacle shot out from the zombie and wrapped around me. I formed a sword from Witchblade and sliced through the tentacle. The zombie transformed into a blob of black smelly ooze and tried to surround me. I hit it with fireballs created by Damage, Inc. to force it back.

"Excuse you," I said, thinking it didn't look like he really wanted to communicate at all, "That was really rude. And I don't have infinite patience… Do that again and get your ass kicked… again." I looked at the zombie closely… and that made my stomach churn. I tried to look at the zombie's eyes… or eye. Only one of them was in its head. The eye was green and oozing a black fluid. I asked the zombie if it was a human. Or maybe a demon. Maybe a dream demon? It was glaring at me through its oozing eye. It said it was a nightstalker. I asked if that is supposed to be a pathetic wanna-be dream demon. I was still looking at the zombie. I was looking for some sign… trying to figure out if there was a person in there or just a monster. I could see nothing.

Note: When I meet someone who is acting like an ass but all they really need is a healing spell I can sense a sort of spark of light within them. That is how I can determine if I need to fight someone or if they need healing.

The zombie was getting angry at my calling him a pathetic wanna-be dream demon. I told him to go away before he got himself hurt. Instead of leaving he grew to be about 50 feet tall. I said if that was his choice… prepare to be crushed. "This is gonna hurt a little bit…" The song that had come to mind was Crush 'Em by Megadeth. I have used that song to manipulate gravity. I focused on the song. The song started playing on the moon.

"Heads I win, tails you lose, out of my way I'm coming through, roll the dice don't think twice, and we crush, crush 'em! Now we lay you down to rest, you'll never be more than second best, step inside you're in for a ride, and we crush, crush 'em!" The song played through from the beginning, which created a series of gravity attacks that look similar to the ones used on the Final Fantasy games. During the series of gravity attacks he tried to get a few of his own attacks in between. He tried to wrap me up in slimy tentacles but I sliced through them with my Witchblade sword. He tried again to surround me in a black blob but I just teleported away and behind him. The only thing that almost made me lose focus on the song was when he went and PUKED on me! I might have puked myself if my Witchblade armor hadn't formed and kept the crap off of me. The sludge flowed off of my Witchblade armor like water off flows off of a duck. But that didn't change the fact it was dis-gus-ting! Need three words to express exactly how disgusting! I hit him with one final gravity attack at the end of the song that sent him flying off into space and out of sight. I was still standing in a puddle of ooze. It was still gross. I flew up into the air. Everything faded to black around me as I woke.

I was on the moon. I looked around to see where I was. I realized I wasn't alone there. Spike was right beside me.

"Welcome to dream land, luv," he said and he kissed me.

I saw other people there. Nomad and Selene. Selene was dripping with ooze. It was disgusting.

"You've been slimed!" I said as I used a wave of energy to vaporize the slime off of Selene. She was staring off into space as if she was in a trance. I stared at her for a bit. I waved my hand in front of her face. She wasn't seeing anything. I asked Nomad what was wrong with her. He said she was lucid. I said she looked the opposite of lucid to me. She looked much less lucid than she normally does… Nomad said we should find her sleeping body. I looked at Selene and wondered what it was Nomad wanted to find. I asked him. He said Selene is a dreamer and we need to find her physical body. I said ok. I focused on Through the Never and on getting to Selene. A portal opened. I looked through the portal and saw myself standing next to Selene and looking through a portal… And I could feel myself being watched… I was looking into infinity. I could see an infinite number of me's standing next to an infinite number of Selene's looking through an infinite number of portals at an infinite number of me's… this was making me disoriented so I closed the portal. Nomad asked what had happened. I said a paradox could have happened, but it had been averted. I focused on using a portal again. I tried to be more specific about finding a sleeping Selene. I didn't really want to stare into infinity again… A portal opened. I looked through it and saw a bedroom. I couldn't see the bedroom very clearly. I told Nomad we could go through. He said he was losing the dream. I took his hand and led him through the portal. He pulled Selene through.

I couldn't see much of anything on the other side of the portal. Was I trying to astral project again? That seems to happen when I try to astral project to a place I have never been. I was disoriented and I tried to hold onto Nomad's hand. Something to ground me. I tried to focus on his hand to stabilize the dream. I felt his hand pull away from mine. I reached out but Nomad was gone now. I couldn't focus on anything. I tried to focus on a song. Silent Lucidity by Queensrÿche. I thought I could hear the song playing. It was no good. Everything around me faded to black and I woke.

Thanks for the help. Now we know the nature of Tooth (aka Gimpy by way of The Cusp).

We also know the nature of Selene. So, what did you feel was watching you when you looked into infinity?

The paradox was somehow caused by me trying to make a being like Selene lucid, which is already prismatically paradoxical. I had a bad feeling about it, but I had to see.

Looking into infinity is really disorienting - made me dizzy. And I felt like I was being watched by another me... sort of in an endless loop of me looking through a portal at another me... Really crazy!

I was on the moon. I started walking around. I wondered where I was. I spotted someone there. I approached that someone. There was a zombie on the moon. I did a double take. The T-Virus was loose on the moon. But how? How could that even be possible? I looked around a bit more. The zombie didn't seem to have noticed me. I thought of Assassin's Creed. My Witchblade took the form of Altaïr's hidden blade. I made a point to move completely silently. I focused on being totally invisible. I really felt invisible. I felt like I was gliding over the surface of the moon instead of walking. I heard no sound to betray my passage. Then I was right behind the zombie. Time for a stealth assassination. My hidden blade charged up with white energy as I stabbed the zombie from behind. The zombie looked at me and cursed. He managed to call me a f**king stupid bitch before he was consumed in white lightning. Cool! A successful stealth assassination! Just like Altaïr!

"Are you going to run off and join the Assassins?" came a voice from behind me. I turned around and spotted Q. Q was smiling at me. He said he had seen my stealth assassination. And he could also see I was dressed like an Assassin. So he thought maybe I was going to run off and join the Assassins. He said that was far better than if I was going to run off and join the Templars…

Note: Seeing Q made me become semi-lucid. I think I should have become fully lucid, but that didn't happen…

I followed Q as he walked across the moon for a bit. He said that he had found a good spot. He snapped his fingers. The ground began to shake. Something was rising out of the ground. It was a tall tower. Q watched the tower as it grew far up into the sky. He said this was just a nice little outpost. http://rookery2.viary.com/storagev12...e_625x1000.jpg He said it could serve multiple purposes. He said for one thing it is a clear location to focus on when sharing dreams. A tower fortress on the moon. He said it has defense mechanisms so it can also serve to keep uninvited guests out. Guests such as that Tooth thing Nomad and I keep meeting up with. He said he had also modeled it after the tower in the Stephen King book series called the Dark Tower. He said thus it is a gateway to other worlds. He said controlling portals from here would work much easier and it would also prevent uninvited individuals from opening portals. So there would be none of these situations where Tooth (or someone else similar) opens a portal and grabs someone. Those portals would be blocked. Q said I should go in and check it out.

I headed over to the tower and looked up. I noticed a strange tree near the base of the tower. A rather large tree (though still dwarfed by the tower) that looked like it was growing huge seed pods of some kind. I asked Q what the tree was. Q hadn't answered before I saw Nomad looking at the tower. I called out to him. He came over and was looking up at the tower. He said it was an awesome fortress. I told him Q had built it. Cool, yes? He said with a fortress on the moon we wouldn't have to fight bastards like Tooth if we don't want to. I said that was part of the idea. Let's go inside and check it out. I asked if Nomad knew what the tree was. He said that was just a little something he had been working with. I said that was cool.

We went inside to check the tower out. The inside looked technologically advanced. This was in contrast with the outside of the tower. I saw Selene there with us. I went over to one of the computers. The computer talked. It introduced itself as a Pentican Computer System. The computer said it would take care of the tower defenses automatically. Friendlies allowed in, enemies kept out… I kept looking around. There was a landing bay near the top of the tower. I saw my Fire Valkyrie there. Nomad was looking at that. I asked if he wanted a space ship of some kind. I said Q could make one if he wanted… The Fire Valkyrie was inspired by the anime series Macross 7. It's mine. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/...a28cca126c.jpg But there's room for more. Then we could go on space adventures. I noticed Spike enter the room. He was looking at Nomad strangely. I wondered why. He didn't say anything. He just turned and left. I went to follow Spike. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.
