Also, these dreams with Asuka, they sound, creepy, good thing everything is fixed now.

Don't worry about any of that. I figured you wouldn't want anyone interfering in the fight unless it was an emergency (and he looked far to weak to create an emergency) so all the barrier did was keep me from having to deal with any errant energy blasts. As for ignoring me, it was never for long, and I get distracted in dreams, too... I got distracted by shiny objects at that one merchant stand... what did he mean by he had just the thing for someone like me? And as for disappearing, I have been known to wake at some inopportune moments.

I was on Camino De Manana. I was in the area near the freeway. Even though this is not possible right now IWL (that area is undergoing road construction) I didn't become lucid. I continue walking towards the train tracks that parallel the frontage road. The place didn't look quite right, but I didn't notice that at all. I walked down the road and up to the tracks. I could see a train in the distance. It was approaching the crossing. I thought I would wait there and watch the train go by. I like trains. That made me think of one of the threads on DV. A thread Loaf had started for people to dare each other to do things in a lucid dream. I remember one of those things was to get hit by a train… rather stand on the tracks and wait. But what fun would that be if there wasn't a train coming? I laughed… if this was a dream… but wait. Could it be a dream? I did a reality check… nose pinch… I could breathe. It was a dream! I became lucid, although I think my lucidity level was still pretty low…

Hmmm… what to do… my goals were to find out about Walms, find some black diamonds… but there was a train coming. I could complete a pointless dare and create a massive wreck! The massive wreck seemed appealing. I got on the track, facing away from the train, and just waited as I could hear the train rapidly approaching from behind. It blew its whistle as if to tell me to get off of the tracks. I turned towards the train, and it was almost on top of me… I turned away from it again just an instant before CRASH! The engine crumpled in on itself, causing the cars behind it to buckle and jump the track, flipping back onto other cars with more loud CRASH noises…

this continued for what seemed like several minutes until everything went quiet. I turned around and looked at the wreck… what a wreck! The video game Burnout should have the opportunity to wreck freight trains! That was one massive wreck! I was examining the wreck as I would have in a game of Burnout, and my lucidity went bye-bye.

I was standing there, quite pleased with my wreck, I saw I was not alone. Someone was there with me. I looked and it was MoSh. MoSh! That's a dream sign! I pinched my nose for a nose-pinch reality check… but I couldn't breathe. Thoughts of it being a dream left my mind. MoSh said there was something he wanted me to see. I followed MoSh away from the track and to the Tucson Mall?! That should also have triggered a reality check… We went into the mall through an office entrance. There was a computer in the room, and MoSh was looking at it. He told me to read the dream on it. I looked. All I saw on the screen was gibberish. I couldn't read any of it. I told MoSh that. MoSh said he was talking about how Nomad's dreams with us in it so often differ so much from what we remember. MoSh asked what was with that. I said I wasn't sure, maybe divergent dreams? Different versions of the dream? Nomad is going to parallel universes… we're going to parallel universes… I didn’t know.

While I was talking to MoSh I happened to think of something. My XBox 360 was broken… I wanted a new one. I was in the mall, so good place. I told MoSh I wanted to get something. MoSh followed me into the main area of the mall. I remembered I was also supposed to ask about Walms… no, I don't know how come I thought I should ask about Walms while I thought I was awake… I went into the main part of the mall. MoSh was still there with me. I looked around for a video game store. MoSh was talking about Nomad's dreams. We walked down the main corridor of the mall. I saw a man alone. I asked him if he knew anything about Walms. He looked at me like I thought he was nuts.

"Hey!" MoSh called behind me, "Nomad! Over here!"

Nomad? Here? I looked around to see where Nomad was. I didn't see Nomad at all. I asked MoSh where Nomad was. He pointed at a spot where Nomad was not. I asked a woman if she knew Walms… she said Walms is her favorite brand of cola. Wtf? I walked away from her and headed for a game store. I asked the owner if he had any used XBox 360s. He said no. I asked if he had heard of Walms. He said they had two copies left, a very popular game, and fun. He said he had snagged his copy already and it kicks ass, but it is for the XBox 360… which he had none of. He kept talking about the game he called Walms. He said he liked the part best where you can eat any of your enemies to restore your energy and then you can… I was leaving.

In the mall, MoSh was running around calling after Nomad. I still didn't see Nomad. But if he was there…

"Nomad!" I called, "Stop playing games and just come out! This isn't a dream, you know!"

I still didn't see any sign of Nomad. I continued to another computer game store while MoSh looked for Nomad. I asked an older man if he knew Walms. He said if he ever saw that fucking asshole again he'd… I told him he'd better not try it. He said he was constipated. I said that's too much information.

I went into the video game store, MoSh was right behind me. I saw my goal! An XBox 360 on display! It was used! The price tag said $32! I could afford it! Yay! I told the shop owner I wanted the XBox! Another woman said she wanted it at the same time, but I was a bit sooner. I said I had called it first. The owner said no, it was a tie. So to be fair, we would face each other in a video game match. We got in two seats with two demo systems up and running. The man booted up some form of Super Mario Cart. He said the first one to five wins would be the winner. He said one of us beats the other just by coming in ahead of the other, the other racers don't count. Example, if I was 3rd and she was 5th, I won that one. We started playing. MoSh was behind me encouraging me. He said I could do it. He continued encouraging me as I started to play the game… I hadn't done much when I woke.

Hilarious dream!!! sounds like it was shared too!

Reminds me of my dream of all of us in a coin-op video game arcade.

Note: I fell asleep with a couple of goals, but I was not successful in getting into my WILD. I had the goal of meeting up with MoSh and then going to meet with Rasselon, who is a user on one of the other forums.

I was in MoSh's inner world. Apparently my intention to meet up with MoSh was strong enough, or maybe I have gotten into the habit of meeting up with MoSh for my first dream… whatever the cause, I was there. I was outside his house, and I saw Asuka in the yard. Asuka waved at me. I went over to her. She immediately hugged me. She thanked me for helping to get her flame back. That was unexpected, but I hugged her back. She said MoSh was going to be out in a minute. She went back to the house. MoSh came out shortly after. Through all this interaction with MoSh and Asuka, I became lucid…

MoSh came right over to me. He asked what was up. I told him we were dreaming. He said we should find Rasselon. I said ok, but he would have to do that… I don't have a feeling for Rasselon. MoSh hesitated a minute and tried to open a portal, but nothing happened. I asked what was wrong. He said it didn't want to open… I thought that was odd… He pointed at the house. He said over there. We went to the neighbor's house. He paused at the door, then he opened it. On the other side of the door wasn't the interior of the house… it was in a forest. MoSh went through and I followed him. The door closed behind us and was gone.

I looked around the area. I saw there was a small stream flowing near by. MoSh was headed along the stream. I quickly followed him. There was a small bridge over the stream, it was a nice place. I didn't see Rasselon, though… of course I wouldn't know Rasselon if I did see him… I followed MoSh over to where there were some buildings. There were several cabins set rather close together in the forest. I wondered if Rasselon was in one of those. I tried to get MoSh's attention. MoSh seemed to be ignoring me. I wondered why. I saw him head over towards one of the cabins, so I followed him. I was still trying to get him to notice me.

I summoned a mantra ball, which is something I haven't thought of for a while. It was green and said, "This is a dream!" on it in big writing. I threw it at MoSh and hit him square on the back of his head. He rubbed the back of his head and turned around when the ball spoke. He said hi to me as if he had just met me there. He said he was looking for Rasselon, maybe I could help him look. I told him I don't have a good feeling for Rasselon… he would have to take me there at least a time or two so I could learn Rasselon's energy. MoSh said Rasselon was somewhere near us. He said he could feel it. I said that was good, maybe we should go to him. MoSh said Rasselon was on the other side of the cabins. I followed MoSh. He disappeared around the cabins. I rounded the cabins only to find MoSh was gone. Wtf?

I called out to him, calling MoSh. An old man came out of the trees. He was rather creepy looking, and a foul odor wafted over from him. He said I didn't need to find any MoSh… he could give me everything I could want. He laughed in a strange crazed manner and coughed up some green phlegm on the ground. When he looked back at me it was still dripping off of his face. Yuck! I told him I didn't want anything he could possibly have. He was licking his lips and saying he had everything I could want… yuck! I wanted to throw up. I gagged, I also gagged IWL and woke myself up.

Hahaha that's really funny xD

awesome dreams! i have finally read all of them up to this point! i'm kinda of new to lucid dreaming but when i get better maybe i could join up with you guys?

That picture really looks creepy. So it really must have been creepy inside the dream for sure.

I do hope for you not to have many such encounters more in the future.

definitely creepy

I was in the living room. I was watching television. Dr. Phil was on TV. He was talking about the importance of doing what you say you will do, keeping your word. A woman on the show had promised her friend she would find some information for him, then hadn't done it, and he was pissed, and the mob was after him and it was somehow her fault for not doing what she said she would. The woman was crying at first, then she got defensive, then she got pissed, then a dark cloud surrounded her and she pulled out a large knife, jumped on her friend, and started stabbing. Dr. Phil was cheering her on to let her anger out, let go of it and tell him how she feels. The dying man was reaching for the camera in a silent plea for help, blood coming from his mouth, and then he died. The woman continued stabbing. My mom turned off the TV and said that was a good episode. Always keep your word. I was staring at the blank TV screen, still not believing what I had seen… Brutal murder on Dr. Phil?! No way! That couldn't be. It was so odd that I did a RC and became lucid…

Ok… what were my goals… Did anyone know about Walms? I want black diamonds. I want to look at that locked book. I want to find don Juan. Wow… too many goals. I would start outside. I went outside and looked around. It was day time outside, and the sun was bright. Ok. First to get somewhere that I could find someone who isn't a DC. I jumped off the deck and flew up over the desert. I opened a portal, though I wasn't really sure where I wanted it to go. The sun was hot and I wanted to go somewhere cooler…

And I was successful. I emerged in a forest at night. It was cool and humid like a night in a rainforest. I landed down in the trees to look around the forest a bit. I saw there was a man there. I looked at him, and I could sense he had an energy of his own. Definitely not a DC. He had long white hair, a long white beard, and a friendly face. He reminded me a lot of Gandalf. He looked closely at a tree and then teleported to another one. He began looking at that one closely. I went over closer to him and asked what he was looking for. He said he was looking for any sign of the bark eating fungus pethehadrin. He said it had been killing off the trees, but now it was gone. He looked at me strangely. He asked if I knew I am infected with dark energy. I told him I am not infected. He said he could see it inside me. I said it was there, but it wasn't infecting me.

Wait a minute… this guy could see energy signatures, so I could ask him about Walms… I went over and asked the man if he knew of Walms… I transferred a telepathic image, energy frequency, that kind of thing, which he readily received. He got a strange look on his face that quickly formed a friendly smile. He said yes! He did know Walms. He said it had been a while, but they used to be friends… did a lot of training together. He asked if I know Walms… I said I do, he said he didn't have time to drop by himself, so he was hoping I could take a message to Walms. I didn't see a problem with that. He was holding a small black orb… He said the orb would give Walms the message as well as some pure dark energy, since when he knew him last Walms had been learning to control the stuff. He asked if that had been successful. I didn't answer. He said he was sure it had been, so Walms would know what to do with the orb. He held the orb for a bit, looking at it. I could see the surface of the orb was shiny black. He fiddled with it a bit before looking back at me. He said he would be very grateful if I could just take the orb to Walms the next time I see him. I wondered if that was a good idea… or if it could be a trick of some kind. I figured I could let Q and Washu take a look at it and make sure it wasn't a trap of some kind. I reached out to take the shiny ball from the man.

As I got the orb in my hand, the man grabbed hold of my hand and wouldn't let go. He was pressing the orb into my right hand. I told him to let go of me immediately. He started laughing. He said it seemed I wanted to learn the power of the dark side, well here it is… He laughed some more. My hand was feeing ice cold as the man was holding it, and I tried to pull away. The man was also changing. He no longer looked like a friendly Gandalf type… now he looked dark and evil. His long hair had turned jet black, he had spiked armor on, which was also jet black, and there was an aura of black flames around him. The cold was spreading up my arm as I was finally able to pull away from him. I went to drop the sphere, as well, but the sphere was gone… or at least almost gone… I could just see the last of it as it disappeared into my hand. The cold was spreading through my entire body, making me almost completely numb.

I could hear voices, strange ghostly and eerie voices whispering in my head… although they were whispering, they were so loud. I went to summon Witchblade… nothing happened. Ok… a song spell then. With the voices going off in my head I couldn't focus on a single song long enough to do a spell, not even the instant ones like Battery. For some reason I couldn't think of the spell Battery… The dark wizard was laughing in a vile manner, sounding like one of the ridiculously retarded bad guys in a corny movie, when they do their evil laugh. Except it sounded more evil that those, because in addition to hearing him with my ears I could hear the laugh in my head… which was rapidly forming a serious migraine, feeling like it was about to split open. I tried to block the voices in my head out enough to focus on a song… but nothing there… maybe they were quieting a bit…

"Just give in to it," the man said. His voice, like the laugh, was coming from all around and inside my head at the same time, "Give in to it. Once you do there will be no more pain. There will be nothing that you cannot do with the power I have brought you."

There were images in my mind, images I didn't want to see. Death, destruction, torture… and not just people. Some of the torture victims were animals. The images went through a wide range, and then seemed to settle on mostly tortured animals, the asshole probably could tell that had more effect than tortured people. Now I had the sounds of cats yowling in pain, dogs yelping, and assorted other sounds of pain going through my mind… a cat on fire… a dog being carved like a Thanksgiving turkey… a cat pierced with needles but still alive… no more… I would make it stop. But it wasn't stopping. I needed help. Something to break me out of his hold. I tried to think… cats yowling… cats… my fluffy white cat, Princess… then I saw Princess being skinned alive… no, block that… I got Princess from… Tigress! I would contact Tigress! I telepathically tried to reach out to Tigress, that I was being attacked and needed help… I got a splitting headache that interrupted my focus and made me forget all about Tigress… More images of horror and pain… if that kept up, I would go mad… No. I would not go mad. No going mad. No going mad. No mad. No mad… Nomad… I hadn't been trying to think of a person to contact, but my thoughts had now gone to Nomad. I focused on sending a telepathic message to Nomad…

The asshole was still laughing… I saw a portal open, though… had I gotten through to Nomad? Maybe Tigress had heard me after all? All I noticed was the man's focus was broken and the voices in my mind significantly dropped off. They didn't go away entirely, but they did drop off. I was doubled over near a tree in the forest, breathing like I had just run a marathon. I looked up where the man was looking, trying to clear the remaining voices out of my mind. I should do something now… escape? Attack? Something. There was a portal. I saw through it, I saw Nomad and Angel. I had gotten through! He looked through the portal at me, then he threw something. It was a sparking ball on the end of a glowing stream of something… The man tried to catch it, but pulled his hands back immediately as if it burned. I caught it with no problem. The portal closed. But… he wasn't coming. I looked at the sparking ball in my hands. Gee… apparently Nomad was too busy getting laid by Angel, apparently I wasn't worth more than a sideways glance and a ball of fucking lightning… I figured maybe I didn't matter to him because he knew I would just wake up… I briefly tried to wake myself up… it didn't work… but what about all the dark energy? How would I get rid of that?

"Thanks for absolutely nothing, you fucking asshole!" I yelled as I threw the lightning orb at the place the portal had been. The end of the glowing cord wrapped itself around my wrist and prevented the lightning orb from being lost. The orb bounced as if the cord was elastic and then bounced off the evil wizard, then came back to me. The place where it had hit the enemy was smoking slightly. He was glaring at me. He obviously didn't like the orb… maybe it would be useful after all… even if it wasn't worth Nomad's time to come help me…

"You say I didn't come," said a voice in my mind, louder than the other negative voices, "But I'm right here…" The orb was talking… ok… so much for not going mad. The other voices were getting louder in my mind… I threw the orb at the asshole again, it hit him in the chest, hard. That broke his focus again, caused another smoking spot. I threw it out again. He dodged it on the way out, and on the way back, but the silvery cord was now looped around him. I threw the orb a couple more times, wrapping the silver cord around him each time, effectively tying him up. Apparently he had been focused too much on trying his telepathic attack… the voices had been getting louder again… to notice the cord was wrapped around him until it tightened. The cord itself seemed to be burning him. He was crying out in pain as the cord was burning him. He was in pain… good. I wanted him in more pain.

I pulled the cord as to pull the asshole off his feet, then I jumped right over on top of him, I wanted to know who the fuck he was, he wouldn't answer. The cord had burned right through his armor, and was burning into his skin, he was bleeding. The armor was crumbling off in pieces. He just said there was no way I could win against him. I shoved the lightning ball right in his face, burning his face. I kept asking him who he was, I knew he wouldn't answer, I just wanted him to suffer, burn him all over like the cat that had been on fire… I tore off some of his degrading armor so I could touch the sphere to his skin directly, more burning, more screaming… I held the orb against his abdomen, this would work… burn a hole clear through him and watch him bleed to death… yes… he would suffer long… The voice from the orb I had heard before was telling me to stop, not like that. But I wanted him to suffer… then I noticed his cries of pain were turning into laughter… he glared at me one more time, said he had won, then burst into flames and was gone.

I was left there with the sphere in my hands… it was talking to me, it was Nomad. I still felt like I was going to go crazy. I wanted to find someone else to kill, someone else to torture… the lightning ball disappeared from my hand. I called out to the forest, to Nomad to come back, I had too much dark energy, I needed to be healed, damn it! Get the fuck back here, you fucking asshole! Ok… I needed to get to someone who could heal me… Basara? MoSh? Nomad apparently didn't give a fuck, MoSh probably didn't, either… Basara… Basara… I would go to Basara, he would bring this under control. I opened a portal and went through…

Into another forest. What? I didn't see Basara here… Where was he? I called out Basara's name… I wondered if Basara didn't give a shit, either. I called Basara again… no answer. Damn it! How was I supposed to get healed? Someone came. I man… dark hair… I was too out of it to tell much more… he knew me, called me Raven, then asked what happened. I said I had dark energy, a lot of it, it was unstable… I looked at the man closer… Walms! That would work! I had just brought some free dark energy to Walms! I didn't know how I had ended up there, but it didn't matter. I said Walms could take the unstable energy out, because he could stabilize it. He said yeah, he could, but he wasn't going to. Kidding, right? Nope. He wasn't taking any of it. I threw a few choice words at Walms, some of it in Spanish since I know a few expletives in Spanish, he just stood there watching me.

I wanted to tear the bastard apart, but I stopped myself… excessive violence would just make the dark energy stronger, it wouldn't help stop it. I needed Basara. I focused on a portal. Walms interrupted… my right arm formed into an Alex Mercer type sword and was aiming for his head… my attack had all the strategy of a mad bull charging, he probably saw it a mile off and dodged to the side. He said as much fun as it might be to fight me, he didn't want to do it like this. Stabilize the dark energy first. Stabilize it? I was barely keeping it from making me go on a destructive rampage through this beautiful forest… Disturbed. I would keep it contained with The Curse by Disturbed, and then release it all on some hapless Templars. This would not be a good day for them… but for now, "I've held on too long just to let it go now, will my inner strength get me through it some how defying the curse that has taken hold, never surrender, I'll never be overcome!" It felt more like I was on a submarine trying to close a hatch against the full force of the ocean.

"Not like that," I heard someone… Walms… saying, "You're doing it wrong! You need to stabilize it, not bottle it up!" For some reason that struck me as funny… an image of a vending machine selling freshly bottled dark energy… I felt a hand on my right shoulder, a cool sensation, then the storm in my head was slightly different… it had been a solid violent storm, now the hurricane of dark energy had an eye. One spot of the energy had changed from violently unstable to something as calm as it could be, like the eye of a hurricane. Part of it had become stable. But to make the rest of it like that… I had seen it happen once…

Disturbed. Disturbed was still the answer. I refocused the song The Curse on repeating the process that one small area of energy had gone through. "I've held on too long just to let it go now, will my inner strength get me through it some how defying the curse that has taken hold never surrender, I'll never be overcome!" The storm seemed to calm just the smallest little bit… or had it? I wasn't even sure, used The Curse a second time, definite effect there… I used The Curse a third time… and it was just about stable… the voices were gone, the headache was gone, the compulsion to attack and destroy randomly was gone, Templars would still be in trouble… The Curse one more time. It was stable… somehow it was stable, and I felt wasted. I let myself collapse and lie down on a soft area of grass, I think I was sweating buckets… gross… my first concern was whether my sweat would kill the grass I was on. I heard Walms there, saying something to the point of that was easy. Easy? Not hardly… but I was too tired to be annoyed at him for not taking at least some of the unstable energy out, I was too tired to be grateful that I now knew how to stabilize it… because if I could stabilize that, I could stabilize anything… too tired to do anything but wake up.

Wow. Weird dream. And the last two dreams say 4/23 instead of 5/23. I hope you get better and continue stronger fellow dreamer

Oops... living in the past, I guess. I feel a lot better, thanks. I felt better after sleeping the rest of the night, in fact, I felt better than normal!

Wow, epic dream. I still think it's really interesting how different people react to (what's presumably) the same dark energy. Like our dream-selves don't react well to foreign types of energy?

You've been having trouble with dark energy for a while now, right? Now that you've learned to stabilize it, hopefully it'll all be good.

I so want to dream view The Hurricane of Darkness! We should tonight!

People react to incompatible energies. Walms knows how to control dark energy, has been doing it for a while, I have been trying to control it so when I'm attacked or get negative energies it won't affect me so much.

glad you feel better and congrats on your newfound power

People react to incompatible energies.

I have to wonder if a lot of the reactions are similar. If you feel ice-cold when exposed to malevolent dark energy, and I feel ice-cold with benevolent light energy, what's the similarity here?

Basically, what I'm wondering is how other people feel when they interact with, like you said, incompatible energies. I might just start a thread in Dream Control...

This is what I have come to believe through my guide Q, my guardian Hetfield, my own experience, and interactions with others:

Light energy is not benevolent and dark energy is not malevolent. They are tools, and whether they are good or evil is in how they are used. The biggest problem I have with any energy is when it is unstable. From what I have seen dark energy tends to be more unstable, but it doesn't have to be. I don't know for sure how other people feel when they have an incompatible energy in them. Dark energy tends to be cool or cold, while light tends to be warm or hot. Light energy tends to burn someone who uses only dark energy, while dark energy feels cold to someone used to light energy.

Problems occur when someone's energy becomes unstable. Light energy is naturally stable and doesn't tend to cause problems and is usually seen as 'good'. Dark energy is naturally unstable, so causes more problems, so it is seen as 'evil'. If someone who uses light energy is infected with dark energy, they go unstable. If someone who uses dark energy is infected with light energy, they also go unstable. If the person uses dark energy and loses control of it, it goes unstable. Instability leads to many problems, physical problems, emotional problems, psychological problems, often leading to negative behavior, violence, cruelty, etc.

I have used the term 'inner flame' to describe the part of a person that allows them to feel positive things, positive emotions. From what I've seen, unstable energy tends to weaken that flame, like a wind blowing through a small fire, maybe even put it out... although there is usually at least a spark of it remaining. Healing spells like the ones I use stabilize the person's energy, no matter what type it might be, so the flame can be strong again.

Sorry if I have made this too long. A lot of this information is things I have just recently learned / discovered. I can't swear it is accurate, I have learned a lot, but I know there is still a lot left to learn. I used to figure dark energy is what would put out the inner flame, light would save it, but that is not the case, which I have found out by meeting people who use dark energy and their inner flame is strong. Stability is what is key.

So do you use dark energy? And light energy feels cold to you? That is interesting, but maybe how a person perceives the energies might just differ between people. I hope I have made sense here... if I haven't, just ask and I will try to clarify.

Note: I fell asleep this night with plans to go back in time to last night because I said I would clear out MoSh's inner world. I said that day before yesterday, but I wasn't successful. So I was focused primarily on that as I fell asleep with my light / sound machine and slipped into a WILD…

I was in the biodome near the koi pond. I wondered why I was there. Usually I appear directly in MoSh's inner world when my intent is to go help there. I figured it didn't really matter. I would just go there now. I focused on opening a portal to get into MoSh's inner world. I went through the portal. I felt like I slammed into a brick wall, then I appeared back on the moon. Wtf? Why hadn't I gotten into MoSh's inner world? I focused on a portal again, this time to just get close to MoSh's inner world. I went through the portal and this time I got out the other side.

I was now standing in a strange place right next to a blue dome, which I figured was his shield. Had that kept me out? Or was there something in there that didn't want me to get in? I touched the shield a bit and it felt warm to my touch. I focused on teleporting to the other side, but nothing happened. I telepathically reached out to contact Data. I told Data I couldn't get past the shield. He said he would let me in. I was instantly teleported to the living room of MoSh's house.

I looked around and I saw Data looking at me. I asked him what had happened. He said it was the dark energy in me, he said the shield recognized my signature, but as being contaminated, so it wasn't going to open. He said he had made the proper adjustments. He left the room, heading into a room I don't remember seeing before. I looked around for the first time. Sure enough, MoSh's inner world once again looked like Silent Hill. Ok… time to clean up that mess. But wait… I could use this dark energy to practice stabilizing it… I focused on the song Full Moonlight from the Devil Hunter Yohko soundtrack. I was focused on clearing out his inner world, and I was also gathering the dark energy into a sphere that I was holding. I was doing it the same way I had done it when I had been doing it to give the energy to Walms. I went to the different rooms of the house, outside, and it took a couple repetitions of Full Moonlight, but I finally got the place looking bright and cheerful again.

I looked at the dark energy sphere now in my hands. It looked like I had somehow taken a violent thunderstorm and compressed it into the orb, there were turbulent swirling clouds, black clouds on even blacker clouds. I was holding in my hands the hurricane that had been in my head not very long ago. A sphere of unstable dark energy. I was still looking at the sphere when MoSh came over to me. He said I had done it again. He thanked me and said he hoped it would stay this way this time. He was saying something else when he cut off… he pointed at a row of bushes by a neighbor's house. He asked me what that was.

I headed over towards the row of bushes. I peered under and saw something there. It was a black creature, it looked like a gremlin, but it was all black. It glared at me from under the bushes, cowering and growling at me. It looked more scared than violent. It also looked like the kind of thing Walms might call cute. I reached out to try to coax it out. It was clearly an animal, surely it wasn't supposed to be living in a light world. I just wanted it close enough to put it in a safe place. I reached back and managed to get hold of it. It bit me. It's bite was ice cold. It was releasing dark energy as if it was venom. I ignored the cold bite and pulled the animal closer. It struggled to stay in the darkness, and I let it stay in darkness. I summoned a black blanket and wrapped the blanket carefully around the animal before pulling it out.

"What is it?" MoSh asked.

I turned my back to the brightest light and pulled the blanket away from the creature's face so MoSh could see it.

"Eeewww…" MoSh said, "You're keeping it? Something ugly and disgusting spreads dark energy throughout my inner world and you want to keep it?"

The creature hissed at MoSh as if it understood what he had said. I covered it up again. When it was concealed in the blanket, it seemed to relax. I telepathically contacted Q. Q appeared. I asked Q if he could either find a place where the creature could live with its own kind, or see if Walms wanted to give it a home since it seemed like something Walms would like to hug. Q said sure. He looked at the creature. He said he wanted to get hold of whoever keeps bringing these animals from the dark worlds into the light worlds. He said when that happens, no one wins. He took the animal and disappeared.

MoSh wanted to know if there were any more of them. I wasn't sure. I looked around. I told MoSh to have Data look for them. If Data found one, wrap it in something dark to keep the light off of it and then contact Q to come get it. I said they didn't seem interested in attacking, they just seemed scared of the light. MoSh muttered something about just killing them. I told him they aren't demons, just animals from another world, so please don't hurt them. Some asshole had hurt them enough by dragging them from their home into a light world. He said ok, if they could catch them without putting anyone in danger, they would. I thanked him.

I looked at the black sphere in my hands. The storm raging inside it. I focused on The Curse by Disturbed, focusing on stabilizing the energy in there. I did that a few times until the storm inside ceased. Now there was a calm black fog inside. It looked stable. MoSh asked me what I was going to do with it. I took the sphere and absorbed it into myself, absorbing the energy. The energy flowed into me, and it was ice cold. It was freezing cold. MoSh asked what I was doing. I said I had stabilized it, now I would be able to control it. MoSh was looking at me strangely. He asked what was wrong with my eyes. I asked what he meant. He said there was blackness swirling in my eyes. He said it was creepy. The energy I had just absorbed didn't seem to be causing any problems. No negative thoughts, no anger, no depression… I had it covered. I told MoSh I had it covered. He said he hoped I did, or I was going to need healing later. I thanked him for being concerned, but I was fine. I hugged MoSh, then everything faded and I woke.

Note: I fell asleep this night, but I was not successful in slipping into a WILD. I didn't have any special plans for the night, so this wasn't a big deal. I will note that I am very pleased with the number of RCs I did in dreams this night.

I was in a neighborhood. I was walking down the street on the sidewalk. It was a very nice day out. I was wondering how I had gotten there. I was thinking I should get home soon and take care of my homework and typing my dreams, but I didn't remember where home was. How had I managed to get myself lost? This was more like something I would do in a dream. Wait… a dream? I did a nose pinch RC and became lucid! I would fly. I took to the air and flew over the neighborhood below. I saw a spot that looked familiar and I landed. I recognized one of the houses. It was MoSh's house! I was in MoSh's inner world!

I decided I would drop in and say 'hi' to MoSh. It has been a while since I talked to him on Skype, and maybe I would be able to talk to him in dreams. And maybe for once I could just visit him without there being some kind of emergency, just a friendly visit. I went over to the house and knocked on the door. The door opened and Asuka was there. I said hello to Asuka and asked how she was doing, she said she was fine. She smiled at me. I said I wanted to see MoSh for a while, we might do something, and of course she could come, too. She gave me a dirty look. She said MoSh was sleeping now. She said he needed his rest. I asked if he was ok. She said he was fine, he was just resting. I said I would just say 'hi' and then go, we didn't have to go anywhere. She said he was resting, he didn't want to be disturbed. She was behaving weirdly… something was off. I said I wanted to see MoSh for myself. She said he was fine. I said I wanted to check on him, just to be sure. I wouldn't even wake him, but I wanted to be sure there was no dark energy in there. Asuka said there wasn't. I said I would see that for myself. She reluctantly got out of the way.

I went past an annoyed looking Asuka and to MoSh's room. MoSh was in bed. There was a dark aura around him. He looked like he was sleeping, but his rest was very uneasy. He was clearly infected with dark energy. How could Asuka not have seen that? I turned and looked to see where Asuka was, she hadn't followed me. Ok. I would take care of MoSh for now, find out about her later.

I focused on drawing the dark energy out of MoSh. I drew the energy out of him and into me, at the same time I was focused on Touch My Heart from the Devil Hunter Yohko soundtrack. The dark energy cycled out of MoSh, the golden light energy cycled in. I did that until the song was finished, at which point MoSh seemed clean of dark energy. I focused on The Curse by Disturbed to make sure the dark energy in me was stable. MoSh sat up. He looked over at me. He asked if Asuka was around. I said yeah, and she is also blind if she really thought he was just resting. MoSh thanked me, then said he had to find Asuka. He said the alternate Asuka had done something to her… MoSh left the room. I was going to follow him, but I woke.

I was driving into a strange town. What made it strange is that the entire place looked like a theme park. People everywhere were dressed like people from the Legend of Zelda games. I drove through it a bit, but I needed to use the restroom. I pulled up to a place to park. I walked a bit and found a public restroom. I went inside to take care of my business. There were a lot of stalls. Most of them were occupied. I looked in the ones that weren't. The toilet was completely missing in one… just a hole. The second one was over flowing. The third toilet was so strange looking… that it made me think of ones I might see in my dreams. Dreams! I did a RC and became lucid.

Ok! I was lucid. What would I do now? I headed outside to see where I was. I thought I would fly up and take a look around the area to be sure there wasn't a good reason for me to be there. I started to fly, but then I felt myself waking up. No! Not this soon! I fought waking up but I wasn't able to and I woke…

Back to sleep… back to the same dream. I walked down the street looking at the people dressed like Legend of Zelda characters. It seemed wrong… like something out of a dream. I did a RC and became lucid again.

I walked farther down the road, not wanting to wake myself up again. I saw some of the actors and actresses moving down a side street. I found a woman dressed as Zelda stopped by a dumpster. She had her skirt hiked up and her penis out taking a piss. Her penis?! Ok… that was too much information for me… I took flight as the woman looked at me and laughed. I felt myself waking up again. But I hadn't accomplished anything! Shit! Woke.

Back to sleep… back to the same dream. I was near the town where people were dressed like Legend of Zelda characters. I was with a group of people, about five. Three men and two other women. One of them said something about dreams. I did an RC, became lucid.

I was with the group of people. We all wanted to go to the moon. To the biodome. We all gathered in a circle. I focused on teleporting us all to the biodome. I closed my eyes to focus, but when I opened them nothing had changed. I tried again. Nothing. We were all wondering why it hadn't worked. One of the men (Nomad) said he and I would go check into it. We flew into the sky. We were going to fly to the moon. It was hard to gain altitude. I saw the moon in the sky. I headed towards it… didn't make it… but there was a space ship. And a planet, floating in the Earth's atmosphere. I tiny planet populated by tiny people. There was a fleet of space ships. Nomad said the people on the planet were all Nazis bent on killing everyone on Earth. He started blowing up the ships, and knocked the planet back into deep space. Micro Nazies? Space invaders? Even for a dream this was weird… This is where I woke.

I fell asleep this night with my first goal being to find Asuka. There seem to have been some problems between her and the alternate Asuka who has been visiting, and Asuka has disappeared. I fell asleep with this as my main goal for the night. Unfortunately I was unable to slip into my WILD…

I was in MoSh's inner world. I didn't recognize that I was dreaming. I was heading for a familiar house. I knew my friend MoSh lived there. MoSh, who I had been talking to on Skype for so long, I was finally going to get to meet him in person. That was great! It seemed too good to be true. RC! Damn! I'm dreaming. Wait a minute, I thought to myself, dreaming isn't a bad thing and I would still get to go see MoSh.

I remembered the goal of finding Asuka and headed over to the house. Before I got to the house, MoSh came out. He said he was glad I was here, he was worried about Asuka. Ok, I said I would find her. I opened a portal to track Asuka, MoSh and I went through the portal.

On the other side we were in a creepy place. I did a double take. What was Asuka doing in a place like this? It was a really creepy looking forest type place, with sparse dead trees. I could sense there was dark energy present in the area. I asked MoSh if he was ok. He said yeah, why? I said there was dark energy around, so if he started feeling strange, let me know and I would clear it out of him. He said ok. I focused on finding Asuka. I figured it wouldn't be difficult since hers would be the only trace of light energy in this place. I got a trace on her and followed the signal with MoSh directly behind me.

The trail led me to a dark cave, really not more than a dark hole in the ground. I looked back into the hole and saw Asuka in there, she was cowering against the far end of the cave in a fetal position, she looked like a terrified animal cornered by a dangerous predator. I called in to her, told her it was me, Raven, and said I was there to help her. She seemed to be about to come out. MoSh asked what was going on? Did I find Asuka? I said yes, but something was wrong. MoSh looked into the cave. That was when I realized MoSh was the predator she was hiding from. She was in a blind panic now, clawing and digging at the far wall and totally freaking out. I thought that was really strange. MoSh didn't seem to know what to think, but he backed away, looking stunned by that reaction.

I crawled into the hole and towards Asuka. I was talking to her, trying to get her to listen. I told her no one was there to harm her, what was the problem? What was wrong? She looked at me, and I could clearly see terror in her eyes… of MoSh?! No way could that be justified… I repeated to her that she was safe now. I focused on drawing the dark energy out of her, absorbing it into myself. I kept The Curse by Disturbed running in the back of my mind to stabilize the energy as I absorbed it. If I keep doing that, it should become automatic. Asuka seemed to calm down some, and I used Touch My Heart to focus light energy into Asuka. Dark energy out, golden healing energy in. The result was very positive. She said it wasn't MoSh… it was a fake… she was sure of that… She asked where MoSh was. I said he was outside the cave, worried about her. She hurried out of the cave.

I came out of the cave and found Asuka in MoSh's arms. She was telling him about the fake MoSh who had said if she didn't stay with him, she would die… and he had been going to make his point, he had attacked her, wanting to make sure she took it seriously, he had been hurting her… MoSh was comforting her, that it wasn't him, she said she knew it wasn't him. She said she wanted to go home, she didn't like this ugly place. She said it had seemed like the only place MoSh wouldn't, that is the fake MoSh wouldn't look for her. And the fake MoSh had been so angry she had thought he was going to kill her whether she agreed to stay with him or not… MoSh said it was ok now, they would go home. I opened a portal to get them home. MoSh thanked me, and then both of them went through. MoSh said I was welcome to come, too. I was going to but then I woke.

I was about to laugh at the dark hole, when I read the rest... damn, sounds like a bad dream.
