I am so glad we both avidly update our dream journals! I am learning a lot from rereading mine!

I fell asleep with my light / sound machine and went into a WILD. I wanted to try to do some healing on my friend Allison so I decided to do that first…

I focused on picturing Allison and me in the biodome in the area that looks like the Glen of Healing. Allison was sleeping peacefully on a bed of green grass. I went over to her and focused on the song Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack. The song played and golden energy flowed through Allison. It seemed to wash some dark stuff out of her. I let the song play again until there didn't seem to be any more crap to wash out. I stood there watching her for a minute after the song ended. I was thinking maybe I could get her into a lucid dream. I thought a bit more. I decided it would be more important for her to remember the dream than for it to be a lucid one. Maybe if we did something really cool…

I touched Allison on her shoulder to try to gently wake her up. She finally sat up and looked at me. She said she didn't want to go to class today. She said she really didn't feel like listening to Loserraga talk all class long. I said I agreed with that thought… let's ditch. I said I knew something more interesting to do… and it involved dragons. She looked at me strangely. She said dragons are cool…

Note: In some dreams prior to posting on DV or MM I dreamed about a golden dragon. I had several dreams about this golden dragon in which I released him from a prison he had been trapped in. This dragon has appeared in my dreams periodically since then…

I thought maybe I could summon the golden dragon from my past dreams. That would be perfect. I focused on calling out to the great golden dragon. I could hear something big moving in the trees. Allison looked towards the sound and stepped back. I told her not to worry, the dragon is a friend. I wanted to introduce her to him. The dragon emerged into the clearing. He was huge… and amazing. A huge golden Charizard. The dragon came over to us and looked at me closely. He flamed me slightly. Allison looked shocked. I told her not to worry about it… Charizard was just angry at me for ignoring him for too long. The flame had felt slightly warm but it hadn't burned me. I asked Allison if she wanted to take a ride. She said yes. Charizard got down so that we could climb onto his back. I let Allison get on in front of me because I thought it might make the dream a bit more intense. If it was intense enough maybe she would remember it. Charizard took off into the sky. He sure did make an intense ride of it. I noticed Allison had a sword. She said something about enemies. I didn't see any enemies. Shortly after that Allison disappeared. Apparently she had awakened or at least lost the dream. I enjoyed the ride on Charizard for a bit longer before everything around me faded to black and I woke.

I was on the moon in the biodome. I didn’t realize I was dreaming. I walked around the beautiful forest for a while. I saw a wide variety of animals. Some of them were normal looking animals while others looked quite exotic. I wondered where I was. I had no memory of how I had gotten there. I was wishing I had my camera so I could take some pictures. There was no way anyone would believe this. I was walking towards a small lake when a man appeared. He looked familiar. It took me a bit to place… it was Nomad. Nomad told me he had checked on Selene and she was just about at 100%. I said that was good. He must have notice the blank look on my face. He said I should do a reality check. I tried to float off the ground and it worked. I became lucid…

Nomad said we could go heal Alicia now. I thanked him and opened a portal while focusing on getting to Alicia's room. The portal opened and Nomad followed me through. I went over to Alicia's bed and focused on the song Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack. Nomad joined in with his didgeridoo. We played the song through a couple of times as the golden energy flowed through Alicia. When the song was done I was thinking about getting her to remember a shared dream. I thought she might remember me in a dream. I told Nomad I wanted to do that. He said ok.

I went over to Alicia and touched her on her shoulder. She finally woke up and looked at me. I didn't bother trying to make her lucid. She asked me what time it was. I told her it was late, but there was something I really wanted to show her. She said she would see it in the morning. I said it might not be there in the morning, and it would definitely be worth getting up for. She tried to ignore me a bit longer. I didn't take 'no' for an answer. Finally Alicia got up. I told her it was in her back yard. I led her down the hall. She seemed sleepy and disoriented. I was hoping she wouldn't just wake up. We got to the back door. Alicia opened it and went out. I followed her. She asked what she was looking at. I told her to just wait a minute. I focused on calling to my horse. The white one with the flaming red mane and tail. The horse emerged from beside the house. It trotted over to me. Alicia looked at the horse. She said it was just a horse. I told her it was Stardust. She said it was still just a horse. Stardust unfolded her wings. They were sparkling in the moonlight. I saw Nomad come out of the house. He walked over and patted Stardust on the muzzle.

"Let's go for a ride," I told Alicia. She said she wanted to go back to bed. I wondered how she could not want to ride a Pegasus. I said she could go back to bed after a short ride. She said she was sleepy. This was frustrating. I told her she was already asleep. This is a dream. So she is sleeping. She said I was nuts. She said she was going back to bed. She turned around and went back into the house. I was annoyed. How could she ignore a Pegasus? Nomad shrugged. I asked Nomad if he wanted to go for a ride. He said sure. He would ride one of his dragons. He summoned a blue dragon. On the backs of our steeds we soared into the sky for a thrilling ride. The flight was quite exhilarating. I was thinking if only Alicia had come along she would have to remember this. Everything faded to black as I woke.

It's hard to make people lucid when they're not even dreaming, isn't it? I admire you for trying!

I was on the moon. I saw the tower in the distance. I headed for it. Since gravity was so low I decided to fly. It was sooooo easy to fly. I flew over to the tower and saw the biodome at the base of it. I flew down towards the biodome and teleported inside. I was now in a beautiful forest. It was an interesting effect. I could see the dark sky and the stars above but it was bright sunlight. I decided to take a walk. I walked for a while and watched the animals. I soon met up with Spike. I did a double take. Spike told me I was dreaming. He said to do a reality check if I didn't believe him. I decided to do a reality check. I tried to levitate and I was able to do it. I realized I was dreaming.

Spike said he had heard that the Great Pyramid of Giza was on our agenda for tonight. I had to stop and think about that for a minute. Spike said Nomad was in the tower with Selene. He said Selene was coming. He said she was feeling better now. I said that was good. We teleported to the control room of the tower. Nomad was there with Selene. He had his arm around her. I wondered if they were just being affectionate or if Selene wasn't feeling well yet. Nomad asked if I was ready to visit the pyramid. I said sure. I focused on Through the Never and on getting to the Great Pyramid of Giza. A portal opened. All four of us went through.

On the other side we were in a vast desert. We were close to a huge pyramid. I looked up at the pyramid. It was dark out and the moon was shining bright enough for me to make out some of the details of the pyramid but not all of them. It was enough to see that the pyramid was amazing. Nomad looked around as if expecting something. I asked what he was looking for. He said he was wondering if someone was going to stop us. I didn't see anyone else in the area. I looked at the pyramid. There was an entrance about a third of the way up the side of the pyramid. I headed for it and the others followed. I flew up to the entrance to the pyramid. The first passage we reached was actually quite small compared to the size of the whole pyramid. I wondered why it was so tiny.

"Hope you're not claustrophobic," I said to the others, looking specifically at Nomad. He said he had already dealt with that. I started descending the passage into the pyramid. I focused on summoning a torch to light our way. It appeared and cast its light ahead of us. We continued down the passage until it entered a larger chamber. Following the walls revealed that there were torches in the wall. I used my torch to light those torches. When they were all burning we could get a good view of the room. There were designs on the walls that looked like Egyptian hieroglyphs. I didn't understand any of it. There were decorative pedestals that were carved in intricate patterns. There were statues positioned at even intervals around the outside of the room. I felt like I was in a game of Tomb Raider. I saw Nomad and Selene looking around one of the statues. Spike came over to me. He asked if it was what I had expected. I said I hadn't known what to expect.

"Raven! Spike!" Nomad called from across the room. I noticed how realistic the echo of his voice sounded. The two of us went over to them. One of the statues had moved to the side and there was a passage revealed. Nomad said Selene had found it. She laughed and said he had helped. Nomad said we had discovered a hidden passage. We had to check it out. I thought this was cool. The four of us descended into the dark passage using my torch for light. Up ahead the torch light seemed to be hitting a solid black wall. That seemed strange. I got closer to the wall and reached out to touch it. It didn't seem solid. And it was ice cold. A voice asked who we were and demanded to know our purpose. I said our purpose was exploration. Nomad said it was discovery. The wall retreated down the passage a bit farther. We continued on our way. We were entering another chamber. I thought I saw a lot of treasure. I was thinking that much treasure must be worth a fortune. I was wishing there was some way to take some small trinket back with me to prove I had been there. I was about to step into the chamber when the voice boomed again.

"Liars!" it boomed. The dark wall pushed us back up the passage and out into the big chamber at the top. It was a black mass now. It was extending out and filling the big chamber. It was clear we had overstayed our welcome. We all headed back up the small passage to the outside of the pyramid. A heavy stone door slid closed behind us with a deafening crash. Nomad looked at me strangely. He said it must be guarding the treasure. And most likely the tomb of an undiscovered Pharaoh. I didn't have a chance to say anything before everything faded to black and I woke.

That's what you get for being greedy

after all, it's just a dream, how the heck would you have taken it home with you?

I spent the night at a Alicia's house this night. I have an inflatable mattress which I fell asleep on. I sleep nearly as well on this bed as I do in my own bed so this didn't interfere with my dreams. I gave Alicia a healing massage before bed and then I focused on entering a dream where I healed Alicia. I fell asleep with my light / sound machine on. I didn't have to focus very hard to find myself standing next to Alicia as she slept…

I looked at Alicia sleeping in her bed. I was thinking I wanted to do more than I normally do. I wanted to find a way to improve the healing effect. I got an idea. The Glen of Healing. Maybe I could take her there. I carefully pulled the covers off of the sleeping Alicia. I carefully lifted her dream body out of her sleeping body. That was a strange effect. I focused on Through the Never by Metallica to open a portal to the Glen of Healing. I felt Alicia stir slightly in my arms. She was so light. It was like carrying a feather. A portal opened. I carried Alicia through it. I found we were in a beautiful forest glen. It was definitely the Glen of Healing. I looked around for a place to lie Alicia down. The Crystal Golem emerged from the trees and looked at me with a look of concern.

"It's my friend…" I said, "She's sick. I've been trying to heal her, but I don't know if it has been helping." I was feeling desperation to get Alicia some healing. "Is there anything you can do? Please?"

The Crystal Golem came over and looked at Alicia. He shook his head slowly. "You are right," he said, "She is sick. But it can be healed. Bring her this way." He walked off into the trees. I followed him. He walked over to a clear flowing stream. "Lie her in the water on her back," he said, "So the water flows from her head and along her body. Go ahead. Lie her in the water."

I went over to the stream and lied Alicia in the water. The water flowed around her head and along her body. It also seemed to be flowing through her as if he body wasn't solid. I saw that as the water flowed into her it was crystal clear. As it flowed out, however, it was a dirty brown. I was alarmed at that. I didn't want to pollute the stream. As if sensing my hesitation the Crystal Golem said the stream would be re-purified by the glen's energy. He said we needed to get as much of those toxins out of Alicia as possible. He said my healing energy would help the process along. I focused on the song Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack. Golden energy flowed through Alicia. The stuff coming out of her turned from a dirty brown to a disgusting black. The stream flowing from Alicia looked like toxic waste. I focused on the song and it played through three times. I looked at the crap flowing out from Alicia. It was still disgusting.

The Crystal Golem had left, but now he returned. He said I should take Alicia home. He said to be sure and bring her back. The more of the toxins that gets washed out of her the better. I lifted Alicia from the water. I thanked the Crystal Golem. He nodded at me and smiled. I used Through the Never to take Alicia back to her room. I lied her back into her body. I turned and saw my own body lying on my inflatable mattress. That was a bit disorienting. Everything faded to black as I woke.

It sounds like you ended up doing astral projection coming back from the glen. Really cool!

Yeah. That was a joke title. It would be crazy weird if I somehow brought someone out of my dreams with me!

I fell asleep with my light / sound machine on. I went into a meditative state and then into a WILD. My first focus was to go do some healing on Alicia. I remembered there was something I wanted to try to add to the healing process. I couldn't remember what it was called but I remembered that it involved focusing energy on the afflicted part…

I found myself in Alicia's room. I saw Alicia sleeping peacefully in her bed. I went over to her. I wanted to take her back to the Glen of Healing again. I repeated what I did last night. I carefully lifted her dream body out of her physical body. It looked really strange. I used Through the Never to open a portal to the Healing Glen. A portal opened and I carried Alicia through it.

On the other side we were in the Healing Glen. I saw the Crystal Golem standing nearby. He looked over at me. He saw Alicia in my arms. He said I sure am a devoted friend. He asked if I remembered the way to the stream. I said I did. I followed the path he had shown me to get to the healing stream. I lied Alicia in the stream so the water flowed from her head to her feet. I lied her on her back. The clear water flowed through her and came out as a dirty brown. I focused on the song Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack. At the same time I held my hands over her abdomen and focused energy into that area of her body. Healing energy. Golden energy flowed through her in response to the song. Bluish white energy flowed from my hands into her body. I kept that up for a couple of repeats of the song. I was feeling a bit tired. The Crystal Golem came over to me and pulled me away from Alicia after the second repetition of Voices. He said I needed to be a bit more careful. He said I wouldn't do her any good if I drained myself trying to heal her. He said I could bring her back later. But not tomorrow. He said I should skip at least one day, preferably two. Let the energy I had given her have time to work.

I told the Crystal Golem I would do that. I lifted Alicia out of the water and opened a portal to get her back to her room. I carried her through the portal and lied her back into her sleeping body. She moved a bit but didn't wake up. I turned to walk away from her. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

The crystal golem is right, you are a devoted friend

I was in bed. For some reason I had been thinking of something someone said in my dream journal… I had been joking about bringing Altaïr back home with me. I chuckled to myself as I imagined bringing someone out of my dream and into this physical plane. I rolled over to go back to sleep. Something seemed wrong. I felt like I was being watched. I tried to shrug that off. We have four big dogs. No one could get into the house without being at least barked at. Most likely chased away. I couldn't shake the feeling. I finally sat up in my bed and looked over towards my door. There was someone there. Silhouetted in the doorway. A man. WTF? I jumped out of bed so fast that I fell onto the other side of the bed on my face with a loud crash. Very coordinated. I have a staff near my bed. I pulled myself to my feet and grabbed the staff. I haven't had a lot of training, but I was hoping it would be enough to defend myself. I was hoping the intruder didn't have a gun.

"Stay back!" I warned the intruder, "I have a black belt!" (That is a lie…)

"Woah!" the man said, "Wait a minute there!" He groped beside the door and turned on the lights. I was momentarily blinded. My eyes cleared and I now saw Altaïr was standing at my door. I was so shocked that my staff fell from my hands and landed on my foot… ouch. Only a minor ouch. And I didn't notice it much. I was too busy staring at Altaïr. Keep in mind I was not at all lucid…

"But it was just a joke…" I said, "I didn't really want to pull you out into this world… How could that happen? How could it even be possible?"

"What are you talking about?" Altaïr asked.

"Ok…" I said, "Let's look at this logically. If you are in my room then there must be some way to physically cross between our worlds. If there is a way for you to get here, then there must be a way for you to get back. We have to find that way. Where were you when you first found yourself here?"

Altaïr was looking at me strangely. It looked like he thought I was stark raving mad. There was a flash of white light and then Q was in the room with us. He looked at Altaïr.

"What did I tell you to tell her when you got here?" he asked Altaïr.

"That she is dreaming," Altaïr said, "But she is awake…"

Q just rolled his eyes. "No, she isn't. That is her dream body." He turned towards me. "Raven, do a reality check. You're dreaming."

I looked at the digital clock on my bed. It read QG:OD. I looked over at Q. He laughed. He said yes, he had done that one. I rolled my eyes at Q. But I realized I was dreaming.

Q looked over at me. He said the goal was to find out what those shadow Templars were up to. He said I would need to find a Templar who would tell us what he knew. Altaïr said that wasn't likely. Q told me to focus, and if there was one, I would find him. Just focus specifically. And then remember anything he said just as clearly as I remembered Q's answers when I had questioned him. Because even if he didn't mean to tell us anything he might still let something slip accidentally. Q disappeared in a flash of white light.

I focused on Through the Never and on what Q had indicated. I focused on what I wanted to find… a Templar that was willing to spill his guts (Figuratively and maybe literally, too! ) or one stupid enough to let important facts slip unintentionally (And then spill his guts literally! ). I had to concentrate quite a bit. I was about to stop when a portal finally opened. I looked at the portal a minute. I was surprised it had opened. Altaïr came over to me and we went through it. I was wondering if Nomad was going to meet us there. The portal closed behind us.

I looked around now to see if I could find Nomad. I didn't see him. Duh. I would have to go to the moon first to pick him up. The odds of him ending up here weren't good, especially since I wasn't in any immediate danger. One of us in trouble seems to signal the other… odd. What I did see was a Templar. He was standing in front of a small building. I wondered what he was doing. I wondered what he was guarding. It seemed absurd that there was a single Templar standing in front of such an insignificant looking building. And I noticed he wasn't standing. He was sitting. Was he asleep? Had we just found some incompetent Templar asleep on guard duty? And what was he guarding (or failing to guard) in that building?

"He must be the one," Altaïr said.

I noted the area a bit more. The building, about the size of a small shed, was on the side of a hill. There was green grass spreading out from the building in all directions. There was definitely no way to approach it without being seen. Of course that wouldn't matter if he was asleep… I decided to test to see if he was asleep. I quietly walked out of the trees and into the open. He wasn't as unaware as he looked. He immediately stood up and aimed a bow and arrow at me. He ordered me to come no closer or he would shoot. That didn't worry me. I walked towards the Templar. He fired his arrow at me. I knocked it away with Witchblade armor on my arm. The Templar fired several more arrows at me. He finally dropped the bow and ran the opposite direction. I thought I heard a couple of expletives from his direction as well as the word 'witch.'

"Where you going, you flakey jerk?" I called after the Templar. He turned to the side to head directly for the trees. I didn't remember ever seeing such a cowardly Templar… except maybe Robert when he ran from me… He had almost made it to the trees when he ran right into Altaïr. He took out a sword and was trying to fight Altaïr. I also noted he was looking around, most likely either for help or for a chance to escape. I used Battery. I focused on keeping the energy level low. I didn't want to kill him. The bolt of lightning knocked the Templar down. I felt the dream slipping. I didn't want to wake up now. I tried to stabilize it but everything faded to black as I woke.

I had awakened at a bad time. I remembered that there was information we needed out of a Templar that we had found to be alone. I was thinking I must have just vanished from there. I focused on getting back to that location. I closed my eyes immediately to go back to sleep. I was hoping I wouldn't forget the first part of the dream, but it was the second part of the dream that would be the most important. I fell asleep as I focused. I failed to do a WILD… but I did end up in the dream at the right place…

I was in a green field next to a small building. I went over to the building. I tried the door. It was locked. It was just a small building but I was very curious as to what was inside. I walked around the building to see if there was any other way in. There were no other doors and no windows. It looked like a storage shed. I looked at the front door a bit longer. Was there some way to pick the lock? To break it?

"Raven!" a voice called from behind me, "You're dreaming!"

Dreaming? I turned to look and see who was talking. It was Altaïr. And he had a Templar with him. That surprised me. The Templar was unconscious. Altaïr was dragging him along. Altaïr asked where I had gone. He repeated that I was dreaming. He said that was what Q wanted him to tell me. I was looking at Altaïr. That seemed to be reason enough to decide I was dreaming…

"What is this?" I asked Altaïr.

"The Templar you knocked senseless," he said, "But I doubt he'll tell us anything."

"He doesn't have to," I said, "As long as he isn't a shadow Templar I can read the answers right out of his head." I noticed his hands were tied behind him. He seemed to be waking up. I figured I could find out if he was a shadow Templar. When he opened his eyes I looked into them. They looked normal. I didn't see any dark energy there. What I did see was fear. He said he would do whatever we wanted as long as we didn't kill him. It was actually rather pathetic… But here is what we found out:

Robert De Sable has made a deal with a demon… of course this already looked pretty obvious. The demon had apparently promised Robert that he would be given complete control of that world once the demon had extracted all the souls he wanted. That was the exchange. The demon would get the souls of all those Robert and the shadow Templars killed for his torturing pleasure and Robert would get the power to take control of this world.

Now he wanted to be released. Altaïr didn't want to let him go. He was in a state of panic. He said Robert had already given the demon the souls of all of his Templar followers. As soon as he died the demon would take him. That was why he had made sure to get assigned to this pointless guard duty where there would never be any action or chance he would be killed and taken by the demon. I asked him if the demon would come to take him. He said yes. That seemed perfect. I got a plan. A somewhat evil plan. I told Altaïr there was no further need for that Templar. Get rid of him. The Templar's protests were cut off when Altaïr killed him. I focused on seeing the energy leaving his body. I could see it. It was strange. The spirit leaving didn't even look conscious. A portal opened. I couldn't see the portal. I could only sense the energy. Two strange creatures that were only made of energy came through and took the soul through the portal. I focused on opening the portal farther so I could use it. Now I could find out who was behind this who mess…

I went through the portal. I sensed Altaïr following me. On the other side we were in hell. That is the only word I can think of to describe it. There was a dark castle there. Demonic creatures were circling it. I could hear the screams of the tortured coming from within. I spotted the two beings taking the unconscious Templar soul towards the castle. I used Battery and a bolt of white lightning struck each one of them. They took off for the castle. The soul was now just hovering there. I flew up to where the Templar soul was hovering. I looked at the castle. I could hear something within. I heard a roar of rage. Something was coming. There was a lot of power there. Maybe I didn't really want to meet the source of that… But I had to know more.

Note: I didn't want to face what was inside, so I slipped to semi-lucidity...

I focused deliberately on a cloak to conceal my energy. I flew in closer to the castle. I stayed low. I don't know if the demons knew I was there. There was a courtyard full of horror. Someone was on fire burning and screaming… but the flames did not consume him. Someone was being eaten alive by some kind of buzzard but he wasn't dying. Someone was tied to a pole with his insides hanging out. He was impossibly and horribly alive. I felt sick to my stomach. Then I felt stupid. Altaïr! I had just left him there! What if they came after him? I had to get back!

I flew as fast as I could back to where I had left Altaïr. I looked down and saw Altaïr looking up at me. I focused on the song Black Hole Sun and on getting back to the biodome. The vortex portal opened. It pulled a reluctant Altaïr in. It was also pulling the Templar soul in. I almost shut it but I couldn't bring myself to leave anyone to be tortured by that demon… not even a Templar. The vortex portal pulled both of them through and I flew though right after them. I slammed the portal closed behind us. Q appeared when we arrived. He asked if we were ok. He looked at the Templar soul. He said he would take it somewhere safe. He said if a demon had a claim on him it wouldn't give up so easily. Q and the Templar soul disappeared. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

Wow. That is so intense.

You know I had a similar very realistic false awakening last night practicing astral projection. It was so realistic I freaked out.

And then, Don Juan himself appeared and talked to me. Everything is escalating. Sometimes dreaming is serious.

Holy crap! Everything seems like it is reaching a climax, I'm starting to think that I won't make it in time,

But I'm doing my best!

You're part of it! There is not going to be a climax, but a great progression. mrdeano made it to The Tower! I am looking forward to him updating his DJ!

Alright, you have more experience in this field than I do, so I'll trust you on this one

This is really great...
just starting to get into the energy here...thanks!

Note: I recently got a PM requesting help completing a shared dream, the person asking would like to remain anonymous. So I will refer to the person making the request as R and the person R was trying to get to as C. I fell asleep with my light / sound machine on. I didn't have a lot to go on. I was hoping to be able to meet R on the moon so he could help me find C but R wasn't sure he would make it to the moon. Keeping the focus on meeting R with a backup plan of trying to find C on my own I fell asleep into a WILD…

I was on the moon. I looked around. I was alone there. I thought Nomad might show up. I didn't see him. I looked around for R for a bit. I still didn't see him. I decided to try one more time to find R since he would have a better link to C. I don't have a great link to R, but it is still better than my link to C! I focused on Through the Never and on opening a portal to find R. It took me a bit of time but one finally opened. I went through it… I came out in a library of some kind. This seemed so normal that I lost my lucidity…

I didn't recognize the place. I walked over to where there were some people. There were a lot of manga books. I thought that was cool. I picked up a Ranma book. I opened it up and started reading it. I saw someone next to me reading another Ranma book. I looked at him. He seemed somehow familiar. I couldn't place his name. I was staring at him and trying to remember. He finished looking at the Ranma book and went towards the checkout counter. I grabbed another two Ranma books and headed for the checkout after him. I would have plenty of Ranma to read later. I was still staring at the man in front of me with the Ranma book. I touched him on the shoulder. He looked over at me. A name occurred to me.

"R!" I said, "Is that you?"

"Do I know you?" he asked.

"It's me," I said, "Raven! We know each other from… uh… the Dreamview forum… is this a dream?"

I looked at the book in my hand (there was only one now). I focused on the image of boy-type Ranma on the front cover and made it change into girl-type Ranma. No cold water needed. Apparently R also saw the cover change. He said it was cool and asked why his didn't do that. I became lucid.

"R," I said, "This is a dream. I need you to do a reality check."

"Why would I do that?" he asked.

"Just humor me," I said as I pointed at his Ranma book, "Make the images in the book change. Yours has a picture of Ryoga on it. Make him turn into a pig."

I noticed the surroundings didn't seem stable. Was I losing the dream? Was R losing the dream?

"Forget that," I said, "Think about C! Focus on C! I need you to help me find C! Call out to C now!"

R just stared at me like I was a lunatic. I was hoping he was at least thinking about C now. I looked into his eyes and tried to get a feel for C. I didn't want to be nosey, I just wanted a feeling about C. I got a feeling with no clear images so I pulled back immediately.

Note to R: I apologize if that was being too nosy… I didn't know how else to track C… :sorry: And I didn't see anything else!

I focused on Through the Never and on finding C. A portal opened. I turned towards R, but he was reading his Ranma book again. Apparently he had forgotten all about me. I went through the portal…

On the other side I was in a dark place. I wasn't sure if it was dark because the location was dark or if I was making another half-assed attempt at astral projection. If C wasn't dreaming it might be the AP choice. But I couldn't even make out a vague outline of a room. I was standing on a floor I couldn't see. It was as if I had been struck blind. I walked forward like a blind person. I was getting nowhere. I stopped and focused on C. I focused on her energy as R had seen it. I reached out as far as I could. I felt something. I headed in that direction. The blackness was a void. There were no obstacles. I got closer to her energy. I saw a person there. I did a double take since I had thought it was completely dark. It wasn't dark. There was just nothing for the light to reflect off except total blackness. Weird.

"Go away," the man said in a threatening manner, "She belongs to me now."

"Who are you?" I asked the man. The man was dressed all in black with a black hat hiding his face in shadow. I could barely make him out, a black figure on blackness. But he was definitely there.

"I am C's eternity," he said, "I am all she has and all she will ever need."

"Let her out," I said, "She's a traveler. She needs to be free."

While talking I was walking past the man. I found something solid… or sort of solid. It was offering resistance. It was like a wall of darkness made into a solid form. There was some give to it but it also felt quite strong. The man laughed.

"You are not welcome here," he said, "You will not intrude on our sanctuary!"

"It's not a sanctuary," I told him, "It's a prison."

"Of course you would see it that way," he said scornfully.

I focused on the wall in front of me. It seemed solid, but it wasn't unbreakable. It was solid darkness and complete silence made into a wall. A song idea came to my mind. I focused on the song Breaking the Silence by Queensrÿche. The song blasted through the silent darkness all around me. The man seemed surprised by that. He was looking around for the source of the sound. He demanded to know who else was there. I focused the energy on the wall of blackness in front of me. I focused it through my hand as I touched the wall. Glowing cracks of light spread out from my hand in a spider web formation. The cracks began crisscrossing all over the wall of blackness. Right as the song ended I added a bolt of lightning from Battery to bring the entire wall crashing down. A bright light shone from the other side of the wall. It was blinding after being in the darkness. But while I was blinded, the man was clearly in pain. As my sight adjusted I saw he was shielding his eyes from the light. Smoke was rising off of him as he screamed in rage, pain, or both. He disappeared in a blast of smoke.

I was able to see into the light now. There was a woman there looking at me. She was surrounded by light. She had long flowing dark hair. It was hard to see much detail in her due to the fact she was silhouetted against the light. She seemed somehow ethereal. Was that C? I was going to say something to her but everything around me faded to black as I woke.

I was in a strange place. I looked around to see where I was. It looked like a futuristic control room. I went over to one of the control panels. There were a bunch of lights on it. I wasn't sure what it was all for. I didn't know where I was. I went to one of the windows. I looked outside. I could see the moonscape out there. This place was on the moon? How had I gotten to the moon? I looked down at the base of the tower. There was a biodome filled with beautiful greenery and numerous animals. It looked amazing down there. I wanted to get a closer look. I looked around the room for an elevator or stairway. I spotted what looked like an elevator. I headed over to it. Just as I was almost to it the doors slid open. Nate came in. He looked at me for a couple minutes and then told me to do a reality check. I said ok. I tried to fly and found I could. But there wasn't enough room to fly. I almost crashed. But since I had flown briefly I realized I was dreaming…

Nate said I was dreaming. I said I realized that now. Nate asked if I had seen anyone else around. I said it usually seems I don't find anyone. I said I didn't know why that seems to be. I have read his journals of Cusp and MoSh being in his dreams but I never seem to remember those… That kind of sucks. Alicia and Allison… them I can dream of. Nate said he wanted to do something fun. I said that was fine. Let's hop in our space ships and take a ride. He said sure. We went back to the elevator and up a floor to the landing bay. My Fire Valkyrie was there as was his ship from Flight of the Navigator. Selene was also there, as was Q. Q said he had heard we wanted to go into space and see something amazing. He said he knows plenty of those. He said if we follow him he can lead us to infinity… and beyond. I got in my ship while Nomad and Selene got in his ship. We launched from the moon into the blackness of space…

Q appeared in front of my ship as a glowing ball of white light. He buzzed around my ship a couple of times and then took off. I followed after him. Nate followed me. He activated our communications system. He asked where we were going. I said I didn't know where Q was going. I was just following Q. We continued through space. There were a lot of amazing sights around. We flew past a dual star system, near a quadruple star system, through several nebulas, and into the total blackness that exists between galaxies. We kind of hung out in space some distance away from the galaxy and watched it. Q finally opened a wormhole and said to follow him. We followed Q through the wormhole and we came out near a couple more galaxies. The galaxies were in the middle of a massive collision. Q said it is not good to be in one of those, but from the outside it looks amazing. I can't describe what we saw to any degree of accuracy so here are some pictures I Googled that at least resemble what I saw…

Hi (and thanks Raven Night that was awesome!)
I am C.
Privacy issues are minimal when I am being messed with to such a level.
And seemingly ongoing.

Wow. It's funny that you mention Cusp and MoSh, because they showed up again!

I remember a fragment of that dream. I think got it mixed up between other dreams I had of viewing the beauty of space. I just remember looking around at how amazing everything was.

This is the dream of another solar system.

I read the dreams in your dream journal and they are just amazing! Those Assassin's Creed dreams are an epic story told through dreams! I really want to improve my lucid dreaming skills so that I can have dreams like those! And shared dreaming is something I really want to be a part of, too! You have given me something to aim for!
