Thread: Shared Dreams: See you on the Moon!

Awesome! Thanks for updating! There are a bunch I need to do... I guess notes will have to do. I just don't have an extra 6 hours a day to type dreams.

I'm gonna see if I can join you guys sometime, although I'm nowhere near as good at inducing Lucid Dreams as you people
I've been trying for a while now but nothing has worked. On the weekends I'll just keep sleeping, trying to do WILD's or FILD's. I haven't tried those yet.
Keep up the shared dreams

Waking up on rough landings? That hasn't happened to me yet but you make a good point, at the rate I was flying it would have taken me a while to get to the moon, I probably wasn't past lucid layer 2 in that dream. But next time! I am going to try beaming myself up to the moon. I'll see you guys soon, I gotta quit smoking so much pot before I go to bed, it's killing my REM sleep and dream recall.

Energy Blasts?

All i remember is sitting down in a circle with Raven and Asuka. We were creating some music. I was playing guitar. It seemed very powerfull.

Later I am fighting someone. J, he is shooting some energy blasts at me again and again. they come at me In waves and I was forced awake.

From Raven's DJ

12/11/09 Healing Party
<hr style="color: rgb(209, 209, 225);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> I was in a strange place. I looked around to see where I was. It was cold and snowing! I thought that was odd. I was thinking how rare it is to get snow. And there was sooooo much of it! I walked through the snow for a while until I reached a house. I was freezing my ass off so I knocked on the door. I just needed the phone. I was hoping I wasn't going to meet with some kind of psychopath. I was thinking I had parked my car somewhere around there but I couldn't remember where. I knocked on the door again. I would call my mother. This was going to be embarrassing, but at least I wouldn't have to walk all the way home in the snow. Finally the door opened and a man answered.

"Come in!" he said, "The party's just getting started!"

Party? "Wait! I just want to…" I started but the man walked away into the house.

"Close the door behind you," the man said as he left, "Drinks on the table to the left, munchies on the table to the right. Help yourself!"

I went into the house and closed the door. It was so warm in there compared to outside. There was music playing through the house. People were dancing, talking, drinking, eating… I didn't recognize any of them. I realized I was thirsty, though. I went to the drink table. I grabbed a coke and poured it over ice. On an impulse I added some rum from a bottle. Coke and rum. I felt bad, though. I shouldn't be drinking this person's drinks… I wasn't actually invited to this party. But he had told me to help myself… So as long as I wasn't greedy… I took a drink and felt warmth inside.

"Raven!" a man said from behind me. I turned to look. It was a man who was part jaguar and part human. But that's impossible! I looked at my Coke and rum. I couldn't be drunk on just one drink… No way… I must have been looking at the cat man with a puzzled look because he responded to it.

"Raven!" he said, "It's me! Nomad!" He produced a purple nerf ball from nowhere and threw it at me. I caught it.

"You're dreaming!" the ball said. Nomad had thrown a second ball, this one orange, right after the first. I wasn't able to catch that one… it hit me in the face.

"Do a reality check!" it said as it hit me. Maybe I should… I pinched my nose and tried to breathe. I could do it! I was dreaming!

"Nomad…" I said. I turned around and looked at the people around me. "And that's MoSh… and that woman hanging off of him must be Asuka…"

"You got it," Nomad said, "Let's do a group healing!"

"Healing?" I asked. I followed Nomad over to MoSh. I saw Basara was also there. Basara came over and gave me a big hug… and a kiss… We all headed into a back room. We sat down in a circle. MoSh and Basara were playing guitar. Nomad was playing didgeridoo. I was playing ocarina. The music was amazing. I was still playing that when everything faded to black and I woke.

12/11/09 Party Crasher
<hr style="color: rgb(209, 209, 225);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> I was at a party. I looked around. I didn't recognize the people there. I had a drink in my hand. I tasted it. Coke and rum. It was good. I drank some more of it. I walked through the party to see if there was anything I recognized. As I was walking someone hit me in the head with a nerf ball.

"This is a dream!" the nerf ball announced loudly.

Another nerf ball followed that one… and then another. I managed to catch the third but the second hit me in the arm.

"Do a reality check!" said the second ball.

"You're dreaming!" said the third.

I finally did a reality check. I pinched my nose and found I could still breathe. I was dreaming!

I looked at the people around me. I recognized some of them. MoSh. Nomad. Asuka.

Suddenly the entire house shook. I looked towards the front of the house. Everyone stopped dancing and looked. I headed for the front of the house and went out the front door. What the hell was going on? There was someone out there. A man in the air. He was flying. He was dressed entirely in black. Nomad and MoSh came out behind me. Visible waves of force emanated out from the man and hit everyone and everything around him. Nomad, MoSh, and I were thrown back into the house. I got up immediately and looked up at the man in the sky. He was throwing off another wave of energy. I used the song Whiplash by Metallica to send it back at him. But for some reason it didn't deflect all of it… The wall of force hit Nomad and MoSh on both sides of me. I pulled a Homer (D'Oh!) as I realized my idea had failed. I used Battery by Metallica to hit the attacker with a bolt of lightning. Nomad had transformed into a large jaguar and pounced on the attacker. Three big dogs also came out of nowhere. A black pit bull. A large shaggy dog. And an absolutely HUGE golden retriever.

All three of the dogs attacked the man in the sky jumping so high it looked like they could fly. Where was MoSh? An eevee ran past me from the house and jumped into the air. The eevee transformed into a dragon. A huge white dragon.

The dragon was shooting streams of electrified ice at the attacker. But where was MoSh? I had the feeling I had to find him. I went back into the house. The party was still going on. Everyone was drinking and dancing again. How could they be having a party with all of that chaos outside? I heard a huge explosion out there followed by a lot of cursing and someone telling someone else to never come back. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

Hey all, been reading bits and pieces of this thread and its pretty incredible. I recently started to believe in this and I've since been looking for people who practice regularly to learn from. Seems like I found the right place!

Unfortunately I'm quite out of practice but lately I've been crazily motivated to get back into dream exploring. I've got a nice stress-free month coming up in which I plan to hone my technique (and finally figure out that elusive WILDing). After (or possibly during) that I'd love to try to meet everyone on the moon...that is if I have your permission!

Good news! Had my first remembered LD in over a year a few nights ago!

If you want to check it out, I logged it in my DJ a while ago. I wasn't totally lucid, and the dream wasn't too vivid, so I didn't think to see if you guys were at the moon base. However, as it was my second DILD within about 3 weeks (I could barely remember the first one, but it was definitely a LD), I think the Great Plague might finally be over! I used to DILD all the time, and maybe I'm starting to get back into the groove. Hopefully I can meet up with you guys soon!

Congratulations RoyalPeach!
I'm also planning on having a shared dream, but it's with other Junior members.
We're just waiting and discussing about it now

WILDing really isn't as impossible as everyone makes it sound. It's really easy to get into SP; I've done it at least three times since I came back to DV in September, possibly up to about eight, as it can sometimes be hard to tell. The hard part is really just the patience. The HH can come within a few seconds of hitting SP (though most of the time this means SP will be pretty strong, as it was with my first experience in WILDing), or it could take an hour to sense any signs of it. It might never come, depending on your REM cycle, and you could just give up and drift into sleep. But it's important to always wait at least a little while before giving up.

SP is always different for everyone, as well as the hypnagogics are. Your first time slipping into SP, however, is usually pretty predictable. Unless you've felt it before, the tingling sensation will probably be overwhelming. Here, it's important to remember that the feeling is just a hallucination, and it can't possibly hurt you because it isn't really happening. Watch out for that.

Thanks Vortex!

That's pretty cool. Do you guys have any plans on where you're gonna meet up?

Oh, jeez. Here I am making a mess out of this DJ. Sorry Nomad! Anyway, both of you, good luck in your attempts.

The meetups seem to be random unless eitherwise intended. My Inner world has recently been a popular place. Tonight someone should at least be on the moon.

If I randomly get into a WILD, then that's where I'll be.

I wish I'd think more clearly in my LD's. I really want to try out my little energy homing technique!

Yeah, I do recognize some of what you're saying. I think I've hit full SP a few times since I started out with WILDing. The problem is I can only seem to get there in the beginning of the night. After which I drift around for what feels like 15-20 minutes or so until I assume nothing's coming. Once or twice I got some pretty vivid HH but it never amounted to anything more. I think you're right about the REM. Probably never comes because I'm too far away from it.

Though whenever I try WBTB/WILDing no matter how I try it I'm either too groggy or too wakeful to properly attempt a WILD. I probably just need more discipline. The few times I did seem to be getting somewhere with WBTBs I did have some pretty crazy feelings (which never happens at the beginning of the night). I've gotten over the fear, but now when it happens the problem is I get excited and the excitement brings me back into an awake state. Hopefully this wears off with time too.

Thanks for the tips though, much appreciated.

WOW! this is amazing. I asked Raven knight if it was possible for her to view a persons' dream they previously had. She said she would try. This was the result.

My dream:

Bar fight and Policemen.

I was in some bar down the street from my house fiddling with the jukebox. Either i'd put coin in the jukebox and it wouldn't show. Or the jukebox was playing a totally different song than I had selected.

"Fack!" I said, giving up. I then spotted John sitting down at a round table nursing his usual coffee. I sat down beside him. "Any luck with the VLTs tonight? Still marking the same damn four squares at Keno?" I said. He looked down at the floor and shrugged. "you should really try ducks in a row. I at least win my meal money back 40% of the time."

"HA!" John said and suddenly swung at me. The dream then Diverged *. I blocked his swing. he then grabbed my arm with both hands and I ducked and swirled out of his grip. He had murder in his eyes. and started walking towards me. I ran fast out of the place.

I was thinking it wasn't like john to just swing at me like that. I then walked down the street and turned a corner. Some large building caught my eye and I walked towards it. I went through a gate and a long driveway with green grass on each side. I went in the building. I can't remember what happened in the building. but then i walked towards the entranceway.
I saw a Police car pull up. A tall but built man got out in a police uniform.
I was suddenly standing in the doorway of a barn and then back at the other building.

The Policeman walked towards me. He looked normal and friendly, but he gave off a vibe that truly frightened me. It shook me to the core. I began feeling emotions tenfold. I started welling up in tears. I ran for the door and tried to run past him. He grabbed my arm and i yelled. "Stay the hell away from me man. I know what you're after and your not getting it. FUCK OFF JUST LEAVE ME ALONE"

He said, "woah woah, calm down dude. I'm not after anything. I just want to know if you want to file a complaint against the Bar owner (see divergent dream) who attacked you." The dream then Diverged again *.

His voice tone calmed me down. It seemed familiar, but his eyes were not very soothing. I then gave him a brief description of what happened. and he left. I don't remember him walking away, or his police car driving away. but instead i remember the dream becoming unstable. I was almost lucid. but a part of me knew what was happening. I knew The policeman didn't get what he was after and i calmed down. the scenery was falling apart. Again i wasn't lucid But i sensed enough to know that I should do nothing for a while to let the dream stabalise.

It did, and I sauntered off back down the driveway. A tractor was going through the gate. I waited for it to go by before i continued.

*Divergent dream 1

While I was experiencing the John attack. I was also Standing at the main bar telling the bar owner to fuck off. He got offended that I said "fack" to the jukebox. So I told him if he wants a good jukebox to at least get one that works properly and to quit wasting my money. I then demanded a few loonies back that didn't get used up by the machine. The bar said no and shook his fist at me. Everyone was watching me like I was an asshole. I just left.

*Divergent dream 2

While I was giving the Police officer the description. It was suddenly night time outside the police station. The officer was gone and instead A black shadowy Woman was there. Her hands grabbed for my torso, but I blocked her move. Our hands then sped up really fast in a jacki chan like fist fight. She never landed a single blow. Our arms then intermingled and it reminded me of the scrap with John. I pulled back and Punch her stomach. She leaned forward and I pushed her away.

The shadow woman just stood there looking flustered and then zipped off in a flash.


Raven's Dream:
I fell asleep with the goal of meeting with MoSh to go back and look a bit closer at a dream he had earlier. This seems a bit odd, but Q said it is possible as long as we don't interfere with the events we are watching. I fell asleep with my light / sound machine on and slipped into a WILD.

I was in the biodome on the moon. I looked around to see where I was. I wondered where Nomad might be. I didn't see him. I figured he would either show up soon or maybe he was off dreaming with Rachael. I sat down on the bench near the koi pond. I thought for a minute and then I remembered I was going to meet up with MoSh. I got up from the bench and I was going to open a portal to find MoSh. I didn't even get a chance to do that, however before Q and MoSh appeared in a flash of white light. It was MoSh's Q. My Q appeared shortly after that.

"Ok," MoSh's Q said, "I have found the point in space-time where you can observe the dream. Just be sure you don't interfere with it. I'll make you invisible."

"Me, too!" said Asuka as she appeared.

"By your time we'll be back in just a second," Q said to her, "We want to keep the number of people there to a minimum to keep the chances of someone noticing to a minimum."

"Awww…" Asuka said.

MoSh's Q snapped his fingers and the scene around us changed.

We were in a bar. Actually it seemed like I was floating over everything in the bar. I looked down. I was able to move around. It seemed like one of those cut scenes in a video game where you can adjust the camera view and see the action from different views. I could see a semi-transparent MoSh beside me. I could also see a solid MoSh on the floor. He was beside a jukebox. He wasn't pleased with the jukebox. He cursed at it and went over to a table with another man. The other man was drinking a cup of something hot that might have coffee. MoSh sat down at the table. They were talking about something I didn't understand. Keno? Ducks? I flew in right over them but I had no idea what they were talking about. There was a strange shadow moving into the other man who suddenly threw a punch at MoSh. MoSh blocked and twisted away. The other man had a dark aura now. MoSh utilized the Saotome Anything Goes School of Martial Arts Final Attack. He headed out the door. The man in the dark aura didn't follow.

MoSh and I followed, however. MoSH walked down the street towards a large building. There was a long driveway with grass on the sides. MoSh was approaching the building. A cop car pulled up behind MoSh. A cop got out and approached MoSh. The cop had a dark aura. I wondered if it was the same person from the bar. I looked at his energy closer. I recognized that energy… even through the dark energy… it was P. MoSh looked quite agitated. MoSh tried to get past the cop towards some kind of shed. It was a big shed. The cop grabbed his arm as he went past. MoSh cursed loudly at the cop now.

"I know what you want and you're not getting it!" he yelled at the cop, "So leave me the FUCK alone!"

The cop acted surprised by that reaction though it didn't look like sincere surprise. He told MoSh to calm down and asked if he wanted to press charges against the man who had attacked him in the bar. MoSh seemed to calm down a bit but still clearly didn't like the cop… and I couldn't blame him. The cop was still radiating dark energy in spite of his reasonable demeanor. I saw a shadow behind MoSh. It looked like a woman. She was dark. Kind of like the picture here but completely black and semi-translucent.

The dark woman specter was watching MoSh from behind him. She was radiating even more dark energy than the cop. She was giving the cop a dirty look and also sending him dark energy. She looked definitely unhappy about something.

MoSh was walking away from the cop now, towards the barn. The dream seemed to be going unstable. I saw MoSh focusing on something. I presumed he was focusing on stabilizing the dream. The cop went over to the dark woman specter. He was giving her dirty looks now. It was as if she had just told him he had fucked up and he had responded that it was her fault.

I tried to identify the woman's energy. It was not clear. There was too much dark energy around her to see through to identify her true energy. I got a bit closer but it seemed like she would notice me if I got any closer than that. I would have to clear some of the dark energy to see her true identity and I knew that was not acceptable since it would be actually interfering with the dream. Then the dream fell apart. It looked like when the world deconstructs at the end of a level of Assassin's Creed II. Like an artificial world un-forming and then building back up again. As it solidified I saw were we were…

We were back in the bar. I did a double take. MoSh was at the bar arguing with the bartender. I wondered what they were arguing about. I went over to see what was going on. But all I heard was a couple of f-bombs and then MoSh walked away. The people in the bar were all glaring at MoSh. There was dark energy surrounding them. I wondered if they would attack. He walked out the door and onto the street.

The world fell apart again… and reconstructed. We were at a police station. MoSh was talking to a cop… the same cop as earlier. The cop still had a dark aura, but MoSh seemed less aware of it this time. MoSh was describing the man at the bar from earlier and saying he was going to press charges. The specter woman was there, also. This time she didn't just watch. She attacked him this time. She was hovering in front of MoSh. It also looked like she was punching at him. But she wasn't using her arms. She was using strange dark energy forms. Not that it did her any good. MoSh blocked and dodged all of them as he returned her attacks. MoSh finally landed a punch right to her stomach, apparently knocking the wind out of her. I thought that was strange since she looked like a specter. She glared at MoSh, but her glare pales next to Vegeta's. She looked like she was about to try something. But then she took off. The world once again deconstructed like in Assassin's Creed II… but this time it didn't reform.

There was a flash of white light and MoSh and I were back in the biodome. Asuka was there. She went over and threw her arms around MoSh. I couldn't help but feel lonely. Someone put his arms around me. I turned to look and I saw that it was Altaïr. I was a bit surprised at that… but pleasantly surprised. I wasn't alone. Everything around me faded to black and I woke.

That's...amazing.

Consciousness and the world of dreams never ceases to amaze me.

Jen

i don't remember much from this dream. Just that Raven Knight and my brothers girlfriend Jen were in a heated discussion. They didn't like each other too well.

excerpt from Raven's DJ:

12/13/09 Raving Mad at Templars
<hr style="color: rgb(209, 209, 225);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> I was in a strange place. I didn't recognize the location. It was a normal looking neighborhood. I was walking down the street. I wasn't alone. MoSh was right to my left. We were walking down the street together. I didn't realize I was dreaming. I saw a woman ahead of us. She was giving us a dirty look. She came over to us. She gave MoSh a dirty look. She then gave me a dirty look.. She said she couldn't believe there actually existed a woman who would be seen with MoSh. She looked at me a bit more and then said it's not like an ugly whore like me would have a lot of options. I said if I am ugly that is a good thing. With medical technology they can fix ugly. But sorry, bitch, there's no way to fix stupid. She glared at me and told me I was so pathetic that I deserved to be with a worthless loser like MoSh. I was pissed at her. I told her to take her worthless attitude and shove it the fuck up her ass. I told her if she was actually to be paired with the man she deserves she would find herself paired with a 75 year old drunk bum that she would have to drag home from the gutter every night… and even he deserved better than the likes of her. I told her to get the fuck out of our way. I shoved past her and headed for a building. MoSh seemed a bit surprised at my reaction but he followed me. I saw there was a woman behind him. It was Asuka. The woman said I should just rot with that piece of shit MoSh. I shoved her harder and she fell in the mud. I said it would be more fitting if she had fallen in a pile of shit. Then I realized the mud actually WAS shit. It was diarrhea. How could that be? It was disgusting! The woman was speechless. I went through the door into the building. I thought MoSh and Asuka were following me. When I got through the door, however, I realized I was in a different place entirely!

Nomad, Drunk again.


I was walking down a street in a town with Nomad. He was drunk and stumbling. We were on out way to meet my dad somewhere.

"Yuuu don't know how much i love you and raven..." he slurred. "we're the best dream share crew ever" He continued.

"well we will be the best Once you get all your dreams caught up." I said as we kept walking.

"Hey maaaan," he slurred again. "I've been busy with this, that and ms. Sea. She is NUTS! Woohoo. She'll be one of us I think." He stumbled a bit and I grabbed his arm and held him up for support.

" well don't forget about your bros, me and raven. Bros before hos ya know" I said. He spit and laughed. The joke wasn't even that funny.

" well, I'll be tryin ta organize myself better. sheeet I'm so behind on my dreams man it's not even funny." he stammered.

I said "well maybe you can abridge your dreams a little. i mean no one cares wether the wall in the dream was blue or red..."

I don't remember the rest of the convo. But we walked to an alleyway where my dad was parked. My dad was in a white convertable.
The dream then sped up really fast. and the next thing I remembered was were in a bar. I forgot who nomad was because he suddenly looked like a cross between a guy from my town and Richard Gere.

"Drink arrreee uuunnnn meee!" he said. "Tiiis a dream bar!" he finished and walked behind the bar. He was trying to bartend. but no one was in the bar.
He grabbed a beer off a shelf and opened it and began to chug it. a couple of girls walked by and gave him a dirty look. I looked away from them and turned the stool back to Nomad. I then over heard one of the women say.

"Ok it's time to train." i looked behind me and watched them both float right into a TV screen. The screen came on and it looked like a 2d video game. I saw 2 girls getting into cars and then began to race.

nomad saw what I did and he said "woah" and his beer tipped over. No beer came out of the bottle and it was full. I quickly put it back up.

"WOW do that again dude. That was cool." nomad said. I told him to not tip over another beer please or else it might really spill. I then looked back at the TV screen. 2d Woman was trying to stab a 2d winged serpent with a cobra head.

I heard glass hit the counter. i looked at the counter and saw that nomad tipped over another beer, this time half full. None of it came out. I put it back up. and he said "don't you think that's weird.?"

before I could answer the Two women back back out fo the tv screen. One looked like B from didsbury, but something wasn't right. I sensed she was someone else i knew. She said "that training was tough I need a smoke"

I then remembered i wanted a smoke. So i followed her to ask her for one.
She walked to the far end of the bar where there was a table with a few women. The other girl walked up to the table. The girl that looked like B pulled out a pack of smokes. The other girl walked away. she didn't like smoking. She looked at me and smiled as she walked past. Something was familiar about her too.

I saw the girl that looked like B handing out smokes to everyone. I didn't even have to ask. She looked at me and handed me one.

When i woke up i realised the girl who smiled was Asuka. the girl who looked like B was really H. I guess Asuka was affecting the dream to make all of us look like random Dream characters.

Healing Raven

I don't remember too much from this. But all i remember is sitting in a circle with Raven Knight and someone else. WE are doing some mutual healing ceremony. Q tells me it should be easy to channel this dream when i wake up. He says the healing we are doing provides a temporary telepathic link. Raven suddenly looks up at me as if suprised at something. She keeps looking at me. She seems happy about something. I am sitting there wondering what she read from me.

Later me, Raven and the other person are sitting in a hallway outside a courtroom. We are all writing down notes preparing for something important.

"Hmm... what happens if I get drunk in a dream?" I wondered. I lined up a bunch of shot glasses, and poured all kinds of liquor into the shot glasses: Baileys, rum, whiskey, vodka...
"Irish car bomb, Jamaican car bomb, American car bomb, Russian car bomb!" I said. I poured a bunch of glasses of Guiness, the right way. "Aw, my precious Guinessesesezz... thou art lovely. A beer above all else, dark, smooth, and warm as sin." I dropped a shot glass in a beer, and chugged it, then another, then another. I drank them all. I felt drunk, but not sick. I hiccupped, and puked. My vomit disappeared before it hit the ground. I laughed. "Fucking Massachusetts. Fucking Cape Cod. Fucking winter. Goddamn, this place sucks so much ass in the winter. I hate it. Might as well get drunk!" I said to no one in particular.
I put my mouth under the tap, and pulled. I guzzled some Guiness. The Green Fairy appeared. "Now, that's not very nice to the Guinness," he said.
"Fukk yew, ya little Absinthe Wormwood fairy fukk!" Wormwood humphed, and disappeared.
"Now, tew fine mah frenz and, uh... drinks, on th' howz..." I mumbled.
I stumbled out of the bar. "MoSh! Oh, MoShy, boy!" I yelled. I was in a suburb by my old house, MoSh's dream house. He was walking down the street. He lit up a cigarette.
"Damn, I haven't seen you for awhile. You going to update your DJ?"
"I can't not enough time... Shit, sorry man... I met this chick... ah..."
"Yeah, you told me."
"Oh, my god, dude, she's a dreamer, like us! Maybe she'll join the the team!"
"Cool," MoSh said. "Looking forward to meeting her."
"Give me one a those fagz..." I mumbled.
"You calling me a fag, Nomad?"
"No, man, thatsh what they call it in Ehnglish... Angland, you know... fuck, I need a smoke!"
MoSh handed me a cigarette. I lit up. "Ah! Jreeem shigarrettss... No, nicotine, no tobacco..."
"No shit!" MoSh laughed. "Have you seen Asuka?"
"Man, that chick iz prolly everwhere.. I bet she's a chree or a rock or sumthin', watching us. Asuka!" I called out. MoSh clapped his hand over my mouth.
"Dude, that's kinda rude!" he said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Oh, well, I mean, she's trying to teach us to see the difference between DC's and real people, and other illusion. We'll never learn that way, man."
"Oh, I get it... Uh, not really... prolly coz I am drunk. Lezz get another drink! On me! It's my bar anyway. Lawl."
"Did you just say, 'lawl'?"
"Yes. Anyway," I said, throwing my arm around MoSh. "You an Raven, I love you guys... We are the best dreaming crew ever! We kick ass!" I laughed uproariously. "Let's get a drink. Where's Raven?"
"Oh, she doesn't like to drink man. You know that."
"Oh? Shit... I am drunk... dream bombs..."
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"I made all kinds of car bomb, drinks... I should make a Canadian Car Bomb. I'll make a shot of Vancouver Green Dragon, and dump that shit into Guiness!" I laughed. "Ah, here we are!"
We stepped into the Space Bar. I got behind the counter and began mixing drinks. There was no one around. "What the fuck am I doing? Want a beer?" I asked MoSh.
"Uh, sure." I poured him some beers, and I kept tipping them over. Nothing spilled out.
"What the fuck?" I said. "Look at that shit."
MoSh was engrossed watching something on the TV. It was a Patriots game.
"Fuck the Pats!" I said. "Fuck the Red Sox, fuck Massachusetts, fuck Cape Cod, fuck Boston, fuck New England, fuck my ex-wife, and especially, FUCK MAINE. I hope the Pats die a horrible death. I never liked football anyway. I don't watch sports. I play sports. Fucking fatass New Englanders living vicariously through spectators sports holed up like hibernating trolls all winter never really living their lives."
"Dude?" said MoSh. "What are you rambling on about?"
"Oh, shut the fahk up, you maddafahka, whea the fahk ah my cah keys? Fahk. Whea did I pahk? Oh, fahk!"
"Dude, stop talking like an asshole."
"I'm a fahking Masshole, get dis shit straight!"
MoSh looked annoyed. "You drunk fucker."
"Oh, sorry man, I was just pretending to me from here."
"Here? Where is that?"
"Fahkin, Mass, man. This piece of shit state."
"Oh, weird! I thought we were in Didsbury. At least, in my persective it is."
"Hmm..." I said. I poured a lager, and ate the glass as I drank the beer. It tasted like rock candy. Some douchebag that looked like a cowboy all in black came in. He seemed to think he was hot shit. MoSh kicked him in the chest, and he fell backwards out of the bar. I laughed. "Hey, you want to be my bouncer?"
"No way, man. Fuck that." MoSh said.

Note: My energy was very unstable tonight. I fell asleep like that. I fell asleep without the aid of my light / sound machine and thus I failed to slip into a WILD. The first goal of tonight's dreams was to be healed of this negative energy. And thus my first dream was taken up with a mutual healing in the biodome. The healing involved MoSh playing his guitar, Basara playing his guitar, Nomad playing his didgeridoo, I was playing my ocarina, Asuka, and Pablo. For most of the healing I was pretty out of it with the relaxing golden energy that was filling the biodome.

I was in a strange place. I didn't recognize the place. It was a long hallway. There were doors on both sides of the hall. I had the idea I was in a courthouse. I didn't want to be there. I was thinking I was there for my jury duty. I didn't know where I should go. I was thinking if I didn't figure it out pretty soon I would be late. And then I would be in trouble. I might be held in contempt… I sat down on a bench along the side of the hall. I didn't know what to do. Someone came up and sat down beside me. I was wondering if he might know where I was supposed to be. I looked up at him and I was about to ask him when I realized that I recognized him.

"MoSh!" I said, "But you live in Canada. Why would you be called to jury duty in the United States? In Arizona? It makes no sense at all!"

"Jury duty?" MoSh asked, "This isn't jury duty. We're here to find out what to do about these attacks from A and P."

"How about we rip P's dick off and shove it so far up his ass that he's giving himself a blowjob?" I asked.

MoSh laughed, "Yeah, but it's not P we're focusing on here," he said, "It's A."

I sat there on the bench for a couple minutes more. MoSh had some papers with him. He handed them to me. I looked at the papers. There were pictures on the papers. The papers looked like parchments. The pictures showed various scenes. Many of them included a woman shrouded in blackness. I looked through them. The woman in blackness was always somewhere near MoSh, who was also in many of the scenes. Actually it looked like MoSh was in all of the scenes. We were there for a while, and then the door to one of the court rooms opened. Q was there. Picard was there. He said he was ready for his witnesses.

"Witnesses for what?" I asked him.

"For the prosecution," he said and then he went back into the courtroom, leaving the door open behind him.

MoSh and I went through the door into the courtroom. I noticed someone following us. I looked and saw Nomad was there. I said it was a surprised to see him there. I looked at the front of the room. Q was there. He was dressed as a judge.

"Q!" I said, "What is going on?"

"Is that how you address a judge in his courtroom?" Q asked.

"What is this?" I asked Q, slightly taken aback at how he spoke to me.

"This is an official trial," Q said, "Take your seat!"

I wasn't sure what to say to Q. I didn't like the way he was talking to me. I went up to the front of the room and saw where I was supposed to sit. I was watching Q. He looked down at me and smiled, then he winked. It was the Q I know…

Due to the fact I don't remember a lot of details of what happened in this dream, I will just put the results:

The papers I had been looking at with MoSh were records of dreams where A has shown up in MoSh's dreams and attacked him. So there was no denying that these attacks have taken place.

So Q finally said it would be safest for everyone involved if A was to stay in her own dream world for now, inside a protective barrier that would keep her dream world isolated from the other worlds. Thus she would not be able to attack anyone else and at the same time external enemies would not be able to attack her. He said this should be maintained until the time when we could figure out how to cleanse the dark energy out of her, to heal her.

Man, I have to put some dreams on here with majinaki and RAMIBE... also a lot of older shared dreams to where I have just notes... Thanks, MoSH.

From my dream journal:

"It's a level of the game Shadow Worlds that I am working on," I said, "Feel free to look around. Any ideas for it?"

Nomad wandered off and was looking at some things. There was a flash of white light and then I saw MoSh was behind me. Q and Asuka was with him. It was MoSh's Q. MoSh's Q and Asuka started looking around a bit. MoSh was looking a bit disoriented.

"Hey, MoSh!" I said, "Are you lucid? Do a reality check!"

"Ok," he said. He floated off the ground. He floated up to the rafters and pushed back down, flipped over a support, and landed in front of me.

"Nice," I commented.

MoSh was pointing at me with his right pinky. I was wondering what he was doing. I remembered that pointing is supposed to disperse DC's.

"Don't you know it's rude to point at people?" I asked, "Besides. That won't work on me. Only DC's disappear."

"I don't want you to disappear," MoSh said, "I just want to see your energy. I wonder why I can't see your energy…"

"I don't know," I said, "You know more about this pointing thing than I do. I don't think I've ever done it… So, want to look around? This is the level I'm making for my game project for school."

"Cool," MoSh said.

"Oh, yeah," I said, "I was going to go try to continue healing A. Nomad is around here somewhere… your Q and Asuka are over there in the pews… so feel free to stick around as long as you want. And if you have any ideas for improvements I'd like to hear them."

"I'd like to come with you," MoSh said.

I did a double take. "I said I'm going to do healing on A."

"Yeah," MoSh said, "And I said I want to come with you."

"But why?" I asked, "You said you wanted to forget about her for a while…"

"I want to see your healing for myself," MoSh said, "I want to see if she can be healed."

Asuka was behind MoSh right now. "You really shouldn't go…" she said.

"I want to see," MoSh said.

"Well…" I said, "Ok… we just need to be sure A doesn't see you. That could get nasty then."

"Ok," MoSh said, "Let's just go."

I opened a portal to get to A's inner world. A portal opened. I went through, MoSh and Asuka followed me. On the other side we were somewhere dark. I indicated MoSh and Asuka to stay back. I focused on a cloak over them to hide their energy. Asuka seemed uneasy. She was staying close and behind MoSh. I walked through the darkness. I found A near a black pond. There was something moving under the water. A got up and looked at me.

"You came back," she said.

"Of course," I said, "I have more healing to do here…" I focused on the song Silver and Cold by AFI. The song played through and I was pulling dark energy off of A and into my dark gem in my Witchblade. A didn't have a dark aura around her any more. She even looked a bit lighter. The garden didn't look quite as dark. I figured MoSh had gotten a good look at the healing process. "There will be more," I said as I turned away from A…

And walked directly into MoSh! "What are you doing? I thought I said to stay back!"

"He wouldn't listen," Asuka said from behind MoSh.

"What is he doing here?" A asked.

"Um…" I started, "Leaving. Yes. He's leaving."

"I talked to another version of you," MoSh said to A, "The one from Mu."

"I was skeptical about that at first," A said, "but then she came to see me. I'm not convinced she is who she says she is, but I'm not so sure that she's not."

"I was skeptical, too," MoSh said, "but Nomad and Raven have also seen her."

I saw the dark creature in the sky again. It was pounding on the outside of the shield. It seemed to be getting more and more pissed off. It would claw at the shield, hit the shield with blasts of energy, slam into the shield… The shield was holding it out.

"You don't want to be here when he gets in," A said to MoSh.

"I'm not afraid of him," MoSh said.

"You should be," A said, "And you should go. Now."

"We should go," Asuka agreed, "Go for some healing. This place is so dark…"

I opened a portal to get to the biodome. It opened and we all went through. The portal closed behind us. Before I could do anything everything around me faded to black and I woke.

I was lucid finally! I then flew into the main church area where there were some pews. 2 people were sitting there. Q maybe, and someone else. I flew right up to a big beam on the ceiling. grabbed it and then propelled myself back towards the entrance way. I had to grab the door frame to slow myself down. I landed in front of Raven.

I pointed at her with my pinky. she looked like a video game character. "Don't you know it's rude to point at people?" she said. "That won't work on me. I won't disappear"
"I'm not trying to make you disappear, I'm trying to see your energy. Images created by the dreamers mind is what disappears. When you point at real people you are supposed to be able to see their energy. I wonder why i can't see yours"
"I dunno" she said. "You're better at the pointing thing than I am."

Visiting A

All i remember is A talking to me. she was saying "... I was pretty Skeptical when you posted that dream about my former self from Mu. But now I'm not so sure"
I said "I was skeptical too while i was typing the dream. most of it was channeled. but sure enough, nomad and Raven have seen her also"

Hey guys, I'm interested in shared dreaming. Can I have your permission to join you? Oh and I don't have good recall so you gotta update and tell me if I'm there or not. If I was there and you typed down what happened, my memories might rush back. Well thanks, hope I get invited! Oh and I'll try to remember to go too the moon.

My dream:

Wedding?

Dream started with hypnogogic imagery of me placing a ring on someones finger. After i fell asleep I was in a white tent staring at a mirror, wearing a tuxedo. Someone was grooming me. A short brown haired woman is grooming me, and over and over in my head is a voice saying "She wouldn't leave your side."

Later i am being walked into a large building, I am feeling nervous and overwhelemed... Almost panic. The rest of the dream is a blur of all kinds of things, someone playing an organ. moving to another location. darn. i just don't know.

Other people's dreams.

NOMAD

Dream:
On Asteroid Q10, in my lab.
Holographic Display to organize my life. Two rows of screens:
Physical,
Financial,
Mental,
Spiritual,
Dream,
Creative,
Happiness,
Love,
Organization,
Peace.

Q says, "Good job cycling the power."

I create two steampunk pets. One for MoSh's birthday: a sentient bright yellow ninja steampunk duck that swims through the air, and sings like a canary with two short swords on his back, and speaks telepathically. Another for MoSh and Asuka's wedding: A bright orange and gold steampunk koi that swims through the air, and breathes fire. The ninja duck rides upon the koi. Their names are Samson and Delilah.

Koomo says, "that Nightstalker kid is trying to get back in."
"Tell him he is going to have to wait."
"He left. He's riding some type of werebeast back to Earth."
"Weird."
"You're a crazy mad scientist, brother." I grin.
I create microbots to swarm over my body and remove parasites if they appear, and to aid my Witchblade.


Wedding on the Moon
In my Living House
I am standing on Jo's back, holding reins. I land on the Moon. MoSh is in my Living House, looking at himself in a mirror. He's a tad nervous. I tell him, "Don't scry."
"Dude, I am not going to. Dude, I want a cigarette."
"You don't need that."
"Right."
"Here, have a some Sereni-Tea." He is wearing tux, and traditional Japanese dress at the same time. Mice, moths, and bats fix his hair, shave his face, and neaten his clothes.
"What am I? Cinderella?"
"I don't know, dude! Ask them!"
The small animals dance and scurry off. They say they are going to watch just in case he gets a wrinkle, or a hair goes out of place.
I take off his glasses. "Ack! I can't see!" I blow ocular implants into his eyes.
"Will they hurt?"
"No, it's a dream."
"Right."
"Here, have some Lucidi-Tea."
"No, thanks. I know this is a dream. How about some more Sereni-Tea, though? This time mix it with green tea."

We roll up on cyborg dog-cycles. I take his leather jacket, and hang it on nothing. We enter from the side.

At the Temple of Gawn, The Ceremony

I feel like I am in a MMORPG wedding. "Oh, shit! I am Raven's escort. Duh!"
I teleport back out. Raven is wearing a lavender dress, and a traditional Japanese dress, just like us. Her hair is up, and she has flowers in her hair. Her face is not hidden like usual. She takes my arm. We walk down the aisle. I wink at Angel. She blows me a kiss. Basara winks at Raven. She blushes.
I stand next to MoSh. Raven stands on the other side. Where did the flower girl come from? Oh, it's Sydney. Joseph is the ring-bearer.
Asuka walks down the aisle with her father. He looks like a stern samurai, but he is smiling. He is wearing traditional Japanese dress. He escorts her down the aisle, and she stands next to Robert. Her mother sniffles. I get kind of choked up, then I feel silly, and take a deep breath. I hear MoSh take a deep breath with me. I laugh inside.
I see Gawn in the front row. He nods at me and winks.
"Good job taking care of my son. You're a good brother-in-law." Selene is next to him. She beams at me.
Q is officiating. He is wearing the garb of a Protestant reverend, and a Japanese Shinto Priest.
He ties their hands together with a small white rope in a sacred knot. They untie it together. They drink from the same cup. Joseph gives them rings.
They kiss. Light comes out of them, and brightens the temple. The statue of Gawn's eyes glow bright yellow.
Tapestries unfurl, and confetti falls. Birds and butterflies fly in. We erupt in applause.
Q says their last name in Japanese. I don't understand the word, but, my Babelfish says it means: Sacred Peace.
They walk down the aisle, and we throw rice at them, as they get in a limo, and drive to the reception. Sarnox is the driver.

The Reception

There is a ice sculpture of two swans forming a heart. "I made it myself," I brag.
"Hey, it's all about my ego today!" MoSh teases.
We sit at the head table. Angel sits on one side of me. MoSh sits on the other. Sydney is on the other side of Angel. On the other side of Asuka is Raven, then Joseph.
I propose a toast. My heart is bursting with joy.
"To their indestructable happiness, and eternal love!"
I drink. It's sparkling apple juice.
The Cusp asks if it's an open bar. "Yeah." He is annoyed it's non-alcoholic. He tries to to change it into alcohol, but it doesn't work.
"Hey!"
We laugh. He eats a bunch of chocolate on the table instead.

The food is perfect. Everything I get is vegetarian. Angelina says she cooked it just for us.

The cake is vanilla and chocolate. MoSh is very nice when he feeds it to Asuka. Asuka smashes it on his face and laughs, then licks it off. He blushes. Music starts. It's a mix between rock ballads, and Japanese pop.
MoSh dances with Asuka. Her father dances with her. I dance with Asuka, Raven, Angel, Asuka's mother, and Selene. Selene tells me she's happy for me. She understands everything without me having to tell her anything, and there is never a goodbye between us.
MoSh dances with Raven, Angel, Selene, Asuka's mother, Angelina, Pixy. Everyone gets up and dances together.
MoSh gets up and plays a guitar solo. He sings rock in Japanese. Asuka laughs, claps, and a tear forms on her cheek. She tells me, "I feel pure happiness."
MoSh steps down, and Asuka makes out with him. She plays a stringed instrument with a tortoise shell for the body of it. Everyone is transfixed.
MoSh's brother gets up, and plays djembe. I get on stage, and play didjeridoo. Raven joins in with the ocarina. It sounds haunting. MoSh gets back on stage, and plays electric guitar. We play a tribal rock song. Everyone dances like crazed beasts.
The Earth rises over the horizon. We become our Beast Selves and a few become Shadow Selves. We are all anthropormorphic. I see myself dancing with the people, and Raven, MoSh, his brother too! MoSh's Beast self is a werewolf with green and white snake skin. Asuka is a crane. Raven and I are jaguars. We change between day and night phases. Mosh's brother is the same type of creature, but, his skin is a dark purple, almost black. Basara is a half cheetah, half saber-toothed tiger, with angel wings.

Mowglycdb is a cute fox. Majinaki is a timber wolf. Loaf is a wolverine. Selene is an Arctic Wolf. Silverwolf and Warrior Tiger are grey wolves. Pixy is a Emerald Boa with branches growing out of her. Angelina is a bear. Asuka's mother is a giant salamander. Asuka's father is a demon samurai. Redisreddish is a little vampire with dark purple wings and horns. The Cusp is a blue gargoyle. Angel becomes a half vampire, half angel. Joseph is a pure white eagle, and soars over us. Sydney is cute hedgehog. We howl at the earth. Koomo doesn't change. "What did you expect?" He says to me.
He unfurls his wings, and flies over us. He drops dark purple orbs on to us which explode with a BOOM to the beat.
Gawn grows huge, and becomes Pan. He plays the Pan pipes. I feel his music flowing through me. We dance madly. Gawn blows the Conch of Pan, and a legion of angels come down, and bless us with their energy.
Vegeta and Koomo say, "We have some party crashers."
"Let them in," I say.
Moon Orcs and the remote viewers disguised as moon imps roll in, so do Lunar Wolves, and residents of the City of Nowhere. Little algae creatures from my very first dream of a tower on the moon appear also. They all say, "Why weren't we invited?" I shrug and tell them to dance and drink. Some of the orcs and imps start fighting for fun, and they get teleported out of the Biodome. They start a huge battle outside. Some of the Lunar Wolves leave to join in.
We dance until the sun rises over the horizon. Everyone is tired.

I find Cusp. I tell him "Happy Birthday," and give him a present.
"What me? I am an asshole."
"No, you're not, my gargoyle brother. Open it."
"You're such a fag," he teases.
He opens it. It's a little steampunk grey terrier pup with wings. His third eye has a jewel on it. "It's a button," I say.
The Cusp presses the jewel. The dog grows into a huge light grey Irish Wolfhound with wings.
"The first form is for lucidity and recall, the second form is for transportation, and battle," I say.
"Now tell him 'shrink.'"
The Cusp says, "Shrink."
The dog changes into the size of an insect, and flies into his pocket.
Cusp says, "Nifty, thanks bro. What's your name?"
"Nate."
"Cool. We should watch The Tick. Spoon!"
The Tick appears with Arthur.
The Cups says, "Are you real?" The Tick grabs him and tosses him around. The Biodome teleports them outside and they battle each other. Arthur says, "Oh, be careful Tick! Gargoyles are dangerous!"

MoSh and Asuka get ready to get in a limo. Sarnox is driving.
"Where are you going?"
"Hawaii of course!"
"Hold on!" I press my third eye to his, and give him a download of cool places to go on his honeymoon.
"Thanks. We are going to Japan, too, all around the world, really. Maybe Hollow Earth, other planets, we'll see. Bye!"
They get in the limo, and it snakes through the sky, to Earth.
I see Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I think about how beautiful it is there. I think about how I love my planet, I love the Moon, the Sun, the Solar System, the beauty, terror, and infinite vastness of the universe. I think about how I love my waking life, my dream life, and all the beautiful planes of existence.
I think about Rae and the Ogre, Angel and the Dark Prince, how I met a version of Gandalf on this plane, and all the different versions of people, and how strange it is. Raven and my twinner show up, two cat people in space suits, and they wave at me. I think about how much I love Raven, MoSh, and all my dream friends in all planes. I think about how many times Michael and Koomo rescued me from so much crap in my life. I think about how much I love my family, and I want to heal them in dreams as much as I can. Michael stands next to me, and puts his arm around me. "I know," he says, "it's the Curse and the Blessing of the Angels. You are one of us now."
"I just wish I could heal them all, right now," I whisper hoarsely. Other people join me, and we gaze at the Earth.
"I wish I could stay here forever," Raven says. I give her a hug, and kiss her cheek.
"We are learning to cycle the power, my shaman sister," I say. "People have different power levels on different planes. You and I, well we already know where our greatest power lies. But, we are doing it, spinning the sacred wheel, the chakra at the center of the planes. I appreciate you a lot, for showing me all this, for making me feel sane for once in my life!"
Raven laughs sadly. I gesture toward the Temple of Gawn. She turns and looks at it. "Look! You made that. I see it! MoSh sees it. We are corporeal, our bodies, sleeping down there on that planet... You are turning that into virtual reality, and people's mind-bodies will visit it, just as our dream bodies were there tonight! You can do it. I believe in you!"
Loaf, Majinaki, and Red walk to me. They ask me if they are going to remember this dream. "I hope so, kids," I say. I give them all hugs.
Angel walks to me, and leans on me. She kisses my cheek. I turn and kiss her on the lips.
"Why don't you wake up, and write this dream down, Nate? It's really important, this night much more important than many others."
"You sound like Selene." I see Selene merge into her.
"I am Selene," she says, and moonlight shoots out of her eyes as they glow white.
"Now, wake up!" she whispers.

Raven Knight:

12/29/09 Wedding Bells
<hr style="color: rgb(209, 209, 225);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> I was at a big party. I looked around to see where I was. I saw lots of people I recognized. I was thinking there was something specific I should be doing. There was a role I needed to play… in a very important event. What event? My mind wasn't clear. I looked around. I saw Nomad. He was dressed up in a suit and tie, or maybe a tux. He looked really nice. I was thinking wherever he had dressed up to go, he certainly shouldn't be going there in the company of someone dressed as an Assassin. I walked away. I was going to stay out of Nomad's sight but then I caught a glimpse of my reflection in a shiny surface. I was dressed up… in a lavender kimono!

So I was ready to go into the party. I went back over to Nomad. He was the Best Man, I was the Maid of Honor. We walked in together.

I looked around the room and saw a lot of familiar faces. Basara waved at me. Q was at the front of the room. Angel blows Nomad a kiss. I walked down the aisle holding Nomad's arm. We soon got to the front of the room and went to our separate sides. MoSh was already there. He was dressed in a tux and looked a bit nervous. A mew was flitting around his head, and it seemed only to make him more nervous. The mew flew farther away and looked slightly dejected. MoSh saw that and motioned the mew to come back. He patted the mew, who now cheered up before flying away again. MoSh went back to watching the aisle nervously.

Finally the music started and the bride came into the room. She was walking down the aisle on the arm of a man I didn't recognize. The man looked like a samurai. The woman was Asuka, and she looked beautiful.

Kind of like this photo but with a flowered veil on her head. She walked down the aisle and then the man, most likely her father, passed her hand over to MoSh. I saw him whisper something and then he sat down.

The wedding ceremony was a beautiful thing to watch. It looked like some kind of handfasting ceremony combined with the use of a traditional ring exchange. Q went through a ceremony, much of which I could not understand… and they were married. MoSh and Asuka kissed… and kissed… and kissed… until Nomad finally jokingly told them to save something for the honeymoon!

They went back down the aisle, and people were congratulating them. I congratulated them with a hug each. I noticed they had not gone far before a cute fox jumped from the crowd and decided to congratulate them with a lick to the face! The cute fox seemed to be laughing about something and hopped off into the crowd again. I was disappointed. He was so cute I wanted to follow the fox and pet it. He had seemed friendly…

"Awww…" I found myself saying, "Come back, little foxy!"

The fox actually responded! I was surprised at that. The fox jumped back out of the crowd and ran over to me. He jumped into my arms and almost licked my face… and did get me a little.

"Wow!" I said to the fox as I petted it, "You really are friendly! And so cute! I immediately like you!"

"Pablo!" Nomad called at me… no… not at me… at the fox, "What are you doing?"

The fox was Pablo? It made sense, but that took me slightly by surprise and gave him an opening for a full slurp on my face. He seemed to laugh and jumped down and ran at Nomad.

"No, no!" Nomad said, "You don't have to go licking me, bro!" Nomad disappeared into the crowd with a fox after him. I couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone was moving about and talking now. I left my position. I noticed a table full of presents. One of them was a small package that said, "To MoSh and Asuka from Raven" on it. I couldn't remember what it was.

"Psst!" came a voice from the curtains near the side of the room, "Raven!"

"What?" I asked as I looked. There was a woman peeking from behind the curtains. She looked very nervous. She quickly ducked back behind the drapes.

"Hey Raven!" Nomad said from behind me, "What are you looking at?"

"Um…" I said as I looked, "Nothing, I guess…"

"Well then come on!" he said, "We're eating!"

I followed Nomad to a large table with lots of food on it. I felt distracted, though. Something seemed off. Was it the strange woman? Was she a threat? Why had I chosen not to mention her to Nomad? I had questions, but no answers. And I didn't want to ruin MoSh and Asuka's day. We sat at the table. I was to the left of Asuka and to the right of Joseph. I picked at the food without even noticing what it was. Joseph noticed I was distracted.

"Raven," he said, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah," I said, "I just have to check on something."

I impatiently waited for my chance to leave. Finally it came. I went directly back to the curtain I had seen the woman behind. I looked behind it. There she was. She was pacing nervously. There was something familiar about her energy… she was a fucking Templar viewer! What was she doing here?

"What do you want here?" I asked her, not too friendly even though I was not trying to be hostile since she hadn't actually done anything.

"It's not what you think," she said, "I have to tell you something. The presents that your friends are going to open… two of them are rigged with dark energy."

"What?" I asked.

"I don’t have long," she said, "They'll kill me for treason if I am caught here… but there are children here. If those things go off with children around… I am a mother, and I can't imagine someone harming my children... I told them there would be children here, but they didn't seem to care. Children! Innocent children!"

"So you're here to protect the children?" I asked.

"Yes," she said, "There are two packages that are dark energy bombs. Both are wrapped the same. Silver paper with red writing. The writing just says 'Congratulations' on it. No names. Please get to them before they go off… We may not agree about much, but I think we do agree that innocent children should be left out of adult disputes."

"Ok…" I said, "I'll get them out of here."

"I have to go," she said. She turned to leave, but hesitated. "Nomad isn't in that direction, is he?"

"You're worried about Nomad?" I asked.

"I have heard things about him…" she said, "I'd rather not meet him…"

"I think he's still in the dining hall," I said.

"Ok…" she said, "Even your security system decided I don't have hostile intent, but I don't think Nomad would listen."

"How did you guys get the bombs in there?" I asked.

"Teleportation," she said, "When the other gifts were gathered, these were slipped in with the rest. And the dark energy is highly cloaked. I didn't know if it would be spotted before it was too late. Get to it quickly. It's going to go off soon." With that she hurried around a corner and out of sight.

I returned to the reception. There were more people there. Orcs. Lots of orcs. And imp like creatures! What the fuck? What were they doing here? Weren't they just more remote viewers? And why were they here if the bombs were about to go off? Suicidal? Looking to cause trouble in the chaos? Well they wouldn't get their chance. And right now they weren't being hostile. I went to the table filled with gifts. Just as the Templar woman had said, there was a silver gift at each end of the table. In silver paper with red writing on it. They were relatively small and inconspicuous gifts. I picked up both and slipped them quickly into my robes without being seen. I didn't want anyone to think I was robbing the newlywed couple. Now to get them somewhere they couldn't cause any harm.

I carried the gifts outside and looked around. I was standing outside the Temple of Gawn from my game. I hadn't even recognized the interior decorated for the wedding! I kept going until I left the protective field of the biodome. I looked at the packages. They looked harmless. But how could I take that chance? I opened a portal to the void and threw them through. I watched through the portal briefly… and sure enough… the packages both exploded in a blast of black smoke. The portal closed before the blackness reached it. Whew! That was close. The woman was still there. I saw her.

"You're still here?" I asked.

"I had to know for sure that you had gotten them," she said, "Now I have to go."

"Thank you," I said, "For the children, of course… have we met?"

"No," she said, "I have never been here before. And I have to go. I can't stay hidden much longer." She hurried away and then disappeared.

I returned to the party. I had missed the cutting of the cake! Damn! MoSh and Asuka were opening gifts. I wondered if they noticed the two missing. My gift to them was a pair of amulets that will keep them connected psychically, and by their energy, no matter how far apart they are. They both put the amulets on. They seemed to like them. I felt disoriented. I was about to wake up. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.

Red's dream:

-Some people were playing really cool music at some kind of party. At the end I was looking at earth from out in space.

Vex Kitten:

Revival Bingo
I ride a bike to a large circus like tent. I go inside to see a huge bingo/religious gathering is happening. I sit outside the entryway and talk with the others seated outside. I end up winning something, can't remember what. They want to take my picture but I refuse. I don't want the prize if I have to be photographed.

Thanks MoSh! Vex... wow!

Helping nomad And Raven

I was standing in a black space. A man appeared before me.
"Q!" I said. "What do you want now? how dare you interrupt my dream honeymoon!"
"Relax," he said "This won't take much time. I have dilated time so that this whole event will seem as a mere few seconds away from your honeymoon. I have and important mission for you."
"what is it?" I asked.
"It seems That some Remote viewers tried to crash your party last night. Raven intercepted two gifts for you that were dark energy bombs."
"really? i don't recall reading that." I said.
"That's because you haven't read Ravens dream yet. Anyway those two are busy right now astral projecting at one of the remote veiwer bases. They are putting up a sheild that will block their attempts at psychic sabotage" he said.
"well sounds like they have everything under control."
" They're doing it all for you." he stated. "They've done a lot for you lately, can't you show a little more gratitude and at least help them for a bit?"
"Of course!" I said.
"well then. It will be your job to place a few of our own bombs around their area." I then saw an image of a grey ashtray in the shape of a dumb bell.
Q snapped his fingers.

I was covered in a blanket and Had forgotten much about what had happened before. I stood up under the blanket and searched for the edge.
I found it and looked up. I was in a sort of office building. Raven and Nomad were flying around with these sheets that seemed to span the perimeter of the place.

I had a few of these "bombs" in front of me. and these strange bowls filled with candy that was all black. Some little creature was flying around my head. It began picking up the Bombs and then placing them near computers. I then started placing these bowls of black candy on coffee tables. All around me people were at computers looking at dreamviews. A few of them were on couches asleep, or doing their remote veiwing. Nobody seemed to notice us.
"Hurry up" Raven or nomad called to me. The little creature took the last bomb and i said "Wait! I know just the place to put that thing".
The critter whined and dropped the object in my hand. I then found a computer where a man was working at. I looked right at him, he didn't notice me. I then placed the object right by his computer. I don't remember anything after that.

Damn Templars
I am on the Moon, in the Biodome. I see Raven talking to a woman by the koi pond, sitting on a bench. A fucking remote viewer? I grit my teeth. The woman looks up at me nervously. She teleports a ways away. "Serena? Shit, I'm sorry. Come back."
"I told you already, that's not Serena," Raven says. I shoot at my astral tentacles like antennae, and probe her mind. You don't appear hostile. Aw, you're a slave. You poor thing. I send her pink and gold love energy. The woman floats down to the ground, and walks hesitantly toward us.
"I'm not like them, really I'm not," I say. She eyes me suspiciously. I look into her eyes serenely. Her eyes look like two galaxies. We exchange our lives in an instant. We are so much alike. They use us like cattle. They recruit us as children. They search for adept dreamers, with inherent potential, then they train us in astral. They do horrible things... horrible unspeakable things... they rape our minds... they make us think we are crazy. You know what I am talking about, sir. My life is shit. I am locked up right now, under house arrest in waking life. I didn't even do anything. I have an electronic collar on my ankle. I hate my life.
"You're not even a Moon Imp."
"No, I am a spy. A spy working for you guys. I trust you. I see you have good hearts. I am a double agent. Fuck them," she says grimly, and a tear rolls down her cheek. I give her a hug. "We're so much alike," I whisper.
"I know, Nomad," she says. I start crying, also. I hold her tighter. Her energy feels akin to Raven's, like she's my sister.
"What's your name?" I ask.
"My name is _____, but please don't post this in your dream journal. Yeah, they read it. This is not a joke. Everything is real. I am real."
"What do you mean? Don't post our conversation?"
"No, just not my name. I want to know, I want everyone to know what these bastards are doing... They torture children, those sick fucks. They tortured my little dog, in front of me, to force me to join them.... I was just a kid, Nate."
I feel sick to my stomach. I feel the rage parasite growing strong in me. I summon my witchblade. I focus on a dark black transparent gem. I reach in my brain, and pull the parasite out, and smash it into the black gem, and the gem absorbs it. I sigh. MoSh appears. He is wearing his witchblade armor. He has a great serpent emblazoned on his chest. It's a blend of Japanese and European knight armor. A pale green metal in the shape of fern leaves comes out of his helmet. He draws The Runesword, The Sword of Ages, I crafted him. The witchblade forms over the bottom part of the sword. He flicks it, and it changes into a katana. He flicks it again, and it changes into a claymore. "Hmm... Good," he says. "Let's find those fuckers' base, and fuck shit up."
"I know just what to do," I say. "Follow me."
We teleport to the City of Nowhere, inside one of the Dream Temples. "Ah, I see," says Raven. She summons Malkus. He looks disoriented. "You can helps us, Malkus, fight Templars in our dimension." He nods slowly. Raven, MoSh, Malkus and I lie on our backs. Our astral bodies float up out of dream bodies, and the dream diverges.

Astral Dream
Malkus gives us each a strange magical device. He is dressed like an Assassin. He looks at me, and smiles shyly. We are in a concrete room with a steel table in the center, like an interrogation room. We strap the devices around our foreheads. We see energy lines back to earth. We follow them, and appear in a military base. There is an officer giving a briefing to remote viewers. He is talking about their special program of finding recruits through the ether. He is talking about another program dovetailing with this one, finding recruits simultaneously using the internet, and datamining sites relating to the paranormal, and dreaming, especially focusing on people on these sites denying they have any psi abilities, yet teaching others. He says, "These are our targets." He says to focus on females because they have energy that is missing from the remote viewing program.
The psychic warriors break up into smaller groups of three or so people, and go into different rooms.
I follow on group by myself. One remote viewer lies down on a slightly inclined bed. There is soft music playing, like binaural beats. The bed vibrates slightly. I see the remote viewer's astral body float up, out of his body. He looks at me, startled. He says, "Target acquired."
"Hey, you stop fucking with us, asshole. Or, we are going to fuck you guys up!"
"What are you talking about?"
I morph into a white jaguar, and roar at him. His astral body wavers and quakes. He screams and covers his ears. His physical body screams, and his astral body jumps right back in.
"The target, he's right here! A demon ghost!"
"Hey, snap out of it soldier! There is no such thing as that bullshit you're babbling about."
"The target, one of the targets, is in this room, right now."
"Really?" I see another remote viewer scanning the room. I let him see me, and meet his gaze. I penetrate into his mind with laser vision. "Gah! Stop it!" He clutches at his face, and I stop, and chuckle grimly. He hits a button on the console. A strange alarm sounds. A melodic voice says, "intruder alert, scan present facility." The alarm sounds like soft music.
The remote viewer on the bed begins to float up again. I wrap him up in astral plastic wrap. He can't leave his body. His astral body struggles. He opens his astral eyes and looks at me, terrified.
"Give your master, a message, slave," I growl in his ear. "Send us any more dark energy bombs like a little bitch, he's asking for a fucking war. I will eat half your brain, and just leave enough for you to feel pain. I slowly open my mouth, and let him see my canines. I lightly bite down on his forehead." He shivers and quakes. His astral body pees his pants.
"NOW STOP!" I roar like a thousand lions, and the astral bodies of the remote viewer team shake.
I summon The Beast, and trumpet like an elephant. African Elephants with glowing red eyes stampede right through the astral bodies of the remote viewer, ripping them in half with their tusks. The remote viewers squirm and quiver. "What the fuck?" they mumble, disoriented.
I rip the plastic wrap off the remote viewer's astral body, with my claws, and pick him up by the throat.
"This is me being nice," I say grimly, and bite his head off, then spit it out on the floor. His astral body jumps back in his physical body, and he yelps like a puppy. I summon a portal. I see the other remote viewer scanning me again. I roar at him, and breathe fire in his face. He lets out a little scream. I knock over a pitcher of water, and it falls to the floor. I step in the puddle, and leave a foot print of my paw. Both the remote viewers say, "Holy shit!"
"Don't fuck with the Moon People, you goddamned Templars. I have been fighting you for thousands of years, and I will fight you again. All you have to do is ask, you bastards," and I step through.
I am back in the Dream Temple, and I rejoin my dream body.

Dream Body Dream
My astral body floats up and away. I open my dream eyes. I see everyone else's astral body float away. "Hey, guys, wake up," I say. The stir and open their eyes. "Let's go find these fuckers' Moon Base."
"Right," Raven says. "But quietly. We need to use stealth, Nomad."
"Right!" I say. I cloak myself, and we follow a tracer to the Templar moon base. It looks like a concrete castle, almost like a prison. There is a radar antenna spinning around at the top of it. It's beam hits me. An alarm goes off, and bright red lights flash. "Intruder alert, Intruder alert."
"Dammit, Nomad, you did that on purpose didn't you?" Raven says.
"No! Well, maybe. Did I?"
"No time for that, time to kick some ass!"
Templars on white horses come galloping out of the fortress. I blow a spiral goat's horn around my neck, and summon an army of Moon Orcs, riding wolves. I summon my Witchblade in my left hand, and my Moonblade in the other. My witchblade sings in anticipation. "Give me blood, young one!" she says. My Moonblade glows hot blue-white. I transform into a giant crazed warrior. I unfurl bat wings, and my canines grow like fangs. I grow four more arms, one pair above, and one pair below. A mouth appears on my chest, with rows and rows of yellow shark teeth. My eyes glow red. Antlers of pure flame grow out of my head. Smoke pours out of my nostrils. My witchblade forms obsidian armor over my body. Spikes appear all over it. Another pair of bull horns grow out of my head, then goat horns, then rams horns. An elephant trunk grows out of my chin, and a snake grows out of my tail. Long red translucent spikes come out of my spine, and my eyes burn with a smouldering orange flame. Mercury flows over my flesh, creating a grid. Wolverine claws shoot out of one pair of paws.
"I am CHIMERA SUPREME!" I roar, with the sound of a thousand lions protecting their pride, my voice sounds like stampeding elephants. Horses rear, and buck their riders. I shoot astral tentacles out of my two other paws. I grab ten Templars with them.
"DON'T FUCK WITH THE MOON PEOPLE!" I roar.

Don't fuck with the Moon People
Raven, MoSh, and Malkus are crazed giant chimeras also. Raven looks like me, but, her colors are black and red. MoSh is a snake beast with man arms, angel wings, and four legs like a horse. He also has a snake tail. Malkus is a white eagle, with a bloody cross on his chest. He has arms like a man also, and a white lion's body. His tail is like a whip. He has a crown spinning around his head. I see that we all have crowns spinning around our head.
"WE RECLAIM OUR SACRED LAND! NOW YOU MUST PAY FOR YOUR TRANSGESSIONS, TRESPASSERS!" we roar in unison. Most of the Templars get bucked off their steeds. They fire at us. Our witchblade armor reflects it back at them. I use my energy shield to trap them between it and my witchblade armor. Spikes shoot out of my armor, impaling them. They throw caltrops at our feet, and run away.
"I know that trick, assholes," I say. I use my energy boots to stomp their caltrops into the ground. We rip their buildings open, reach in, and bite their heads off. Astral tentacles are now flowing all around me, whipping and ripping Templars in half, and tossing them into a myriad of portals Selene creates. The Tick runs through punching them in the jaw and laughing. Arthur picks Templars up and drops them into portals on the ground.
The battle is chaotic. Many allies appear. The Moon Orcs throw spears into the Templars, and slice them in half with battle axes. Some of them change their steeds into cyborg wolf-cycles. The Moon Imps appear, and change into gargoyles. "You have betrayed us for too many centuries, brothers!" they say in unison, clanging swords on shields, and roar into battle. Templars swarm over me. My microbots swarm over them, and they fall off. The microbots tear into their flesh like army ants, and the templars writhe and scream in pain.
Loaf appears in the sky, and floats down. He is a giant red centaur with a devil head, and bull horns. "Evil is cool!" he grins. He picks up Templars and bites their heads off, laughing as he does it.
"Time for a J-Bomb!" he says. Loaf creates a yellow energy orb in his hands, and smashes it down. Templars swarm over him, and I send my microbots to swarm over those Templars. I see Templars have divided themselves, and swarming over all of us. I multiply my microbots, and swarm them over all the Templars.
Lonewolf flies down, a great wolf with batwings, and goat horns, with saber teeth. Four ravens ride upon his back. A red gem on his forehead glows, and the ravens fly into battle changing into four dark knights with raven wings, riding strange black werebeasts. Lonewolf lunges at the Templar leader, pounces upon him, ripping his throat out.
"J-Bomb go Boom!" Loaf chuckles, and sets off a nuclear explosion. All the Templars turn into glowing skeletons, then dust, but to me, it feels like a wave of hot energy. All the allies are untouched. Loaf collapses to the ground, changing back into his physical self. I walk over to him, changing back into my white desert nomad gear.
"Hey, Josh, you okay buddy?"
He massages his feet. "Damn, my feet hurt like a bitch," he says. I take some green healing herbs out of my pocket, and mix it with water, then smear it on his feet. "Oo, cooling sensation! Thanks, Nomad," he smiles. I give him a glass of water.
"Hear, drink, young Dream Warrior," I say. He takes a drink.
"What just happened?" he says. How did I get here.
"Oh, well... you were you Shadow Self. You need to conciously merge with your dark side, then everything will become clear."
"What do you mean? Is this a dream?"
"Of course, man!" I laugh.
Loaf does a nose pinch RC, then looks at his hands. Chocolate drips off his fingertips. "What the hell? Where did this come from?" he says.
"You made it, man!" I laugh again. He licks his finger. "Oh good. Shit. Nomad, do you think I will remember this dream?"
"I hope so... I have really good dream recall, I guess, compared to others, but I still only had one dream logged where I can remember the whole thing... anyway, here, these are for you."
I give him a pair of large armored boots. He pulls them on.
"And so soft inside!" he says.
"Gel inserts!" I laugh. Loaf stands up. Jets shoot out the bottom. He says, "Wheeee!"
"Just make sure you put them on every night before you go to sleep."
"How the hell do I do that?" he says.
"Oh, you know, meditation, visualization."
"Oh, that makes sense."
"Or, you can have them on permanently, if you want them fused to your dream body," I say.
"Um, okay. Sure. How do I do that?" I pull two straps across the boots. The boots grow on to him like tree roots.
"Uh whoah! Kinda scary!"
"You can take them off whenever you want, by pressing this release button, here," I say.
Loaf practices pressing the button, then pulling the straps on.
"You made these?"
"Yup."
"Where?"
"In my lab. On Asteroid Q10."
"Cool show me!" he says.
"Oh, maybe tomorrow or something. My dream energy is waning. Time for me to go into dreamless sleep pretty soon."
"Oh, okay. Shit I think I am waking up anyway."
"Well, try and write this dream down, man, whatever you can remember!"
"Okay," he says, and disappears.

Batman appears. "Well, you just ruined our stealth operation, Nomad," he scolds.
Green Arrow appears, taking off a Templar costume. "I was right about to collect the last bit of information," he sighs.
Superman appears. "Sometimes you just have to kick ass, and take names, Bruce."
"Oh, shut up, Mr. I-love-Order-faries-and-butterflies!" Batman says. Superman uses laser vision to cut the tip off of one of Batman's costume ears.
"Hey!" Batman says, and tosses a batarang at Superman's chest. The Batarang bounces off, but cuts Superman's costume. The Batarang sticks in a rock. Superman laugh. Altair, Bakura, and Vegeta appear. Vegeta glares at me, and Altair and Bakura shake their heads disapprovingly. The Tick stands next to Superman, and slaps him on the chest.
"I like this guy! Ow!" he says, grabbing his hand.

"Well, that was weird!" Raven says.
"The Templars are going to rebuild their fortress in a more secret location. They already have a network of undeground bunkers. Let us take it from here, unless you are serious about learning stealth, Nomad," Batman says.
"I am more of a samurai than a ninja. I think my special hatred against these people makes it hard for me to be stealth."
"Alright, Cool As Ice," Vegeta taunts. "Git!"
The others begin cleaning up the mess with vortexes. I teleport to the Glen of Healing, and lay down in the stream. I drink the water as it bathes me. Everything fades to black.

I was in a beautiful place. I looked around. I saw there was a koi pond there. I saw a bench beside the koi pond. I felt a bit tired so I sat beside the koi pond and looked in at the fish. I let my mind wander as I watched the fish. It was quite relaxing.

"Raven?" a woman said from behind me. I did a double take. I had thought I was alone. I turned around to see who was there. There was a Templar behind me! A woman Templar. She must've seen the surprise on my face because she immediately said she was the one I had spoken with last night. Last night? What the fuck? This was a bit confusing. My mind wasn't working right. I looked back at the fish to clear my mind.

"Remember?" she said, "At the wedding? There's more that I want to tell you."

I thought for a bit more. I did have memories. MoSh and Asuka getting married. Two of the presents were dark energy bombs. But one of the Templars had warned me because she didn't approve of children being in danger. That was her. She was back. And furthermore, if she was in the biodome, she couldn't be hostile. The biodome? This was a dream? It must be. I became lucid… or at least semi-lucid.

I turned back to the woman Templar. "Yes. I remember. Thanks for the warning. I didn't expect you to come back. What's up?"

"I have more important information," She said, "There are some people that are particularly without morals. There is a hidden base and they are planning some horrible things. I was hoping you would… Oh, shit… I gotta get out of here…"

"What?" I asked. I turned and looked where she was looking. Nomad was there. He was giving her a really nasty look. I was hoping there wasn't dark energy to deal with. The woman disappeared. I focused on bringing her back, but a bit farther from Nomad. "Wait a minute… I'll explain everything to him. You're not in danger."

"No…" the woman answered telepathically, "I've seen the reports of what he has done to other viewers who have come here. I'm leaving…"

"Just give me a chance!" I said to her out loud, "I'm here! And no one is going to get hurt here!"

"Serena Royale!" Nomad said, suddenly changing his attitude, "Shit! I didn't mean to scare you! Come back!"

"That's not Serena Royale," I told Nomad, "But don't attack her! She's not an enemy!"

"Serena Royale?" the woman asked tentatively, "She's dead. They found out what she was trying to do. And they… they… they killed her."

Nomad looked at the woman Templar suspiciously. I saw strange transparent tendrils reach from his head towards hers. She tried to avoid that.

"NO!" she cried, "Stay away from me!"

"Nomad!" I said, "Don't hurt her! I won't let you!"

"Calm down," Nomad said, "I'm not trying to hurt her… just verify if she is an enemy. It's a telepathic scan, nothing more. It won't hurt."

"It's ok," I told the woman, "Just let him get his proof. He won't hurt you." I shot a stern look at Nomad. The woman, clearly reluctantly, allowed the tendrils to touch her head. Nomad pulled them back almost immediately. I wondered what that meant. At first he looked pissed. Had he found something bad? From the look on his face he was about to tear her apart. Maybe I should do a telepathic scan of my own… but I wanted to see for myself, not just have him kill her. He reached and actually tore something disgusting and black and dripping with slime out of his own head. Blech! He threw that on the ground and stomped on it then burned it. The Templar woman no longer looked afraid of him, just grossed out. Nomad looked over at me. He said she was the same as Serena Royale… but she couldn’t be allowed to be caught like Serena had. We'd have to be more careful.

"I can show you where the hidden base is," the woman said, "But I can't go with you. I can't let them see me with you."

"Ok," I said, "So I guess we'll have to do this through astral projection. Ok. I could use help with that part… I wonder if Malkus is willing to help…" I opened a portal to where Malkus was. He looked through the portal and then came through. He seemed a bit confused.

"You were looking for me?" Malkus asked.

"Yeah," I said, "We need your help with the Templars in our dimension. They keep spying on us, and they tried to deliver dark energy bombs to MoSh and Asuka at their wedding. Really all we want is to be left alone."

"Ok," Malkus said. "Here. Q took me back to my home world where the Templars kept these. I could AP naturally, but they were trying to use these amulets to get more people to be able to do it. Minor success, but maybe enough to help." He handed several amulets around. I tool one and looked at it. The pendent looked a bit like the photo of the silver merkabah with the marble gem inside,

but the marble gem was a smaller version of the one with the 3d merkabah gem inside it.

A merkabah gem within a merkabah shaped amulet. It was interesting, and rather pretty. I liked the effect when looking into it. I was still staring at it when Nomad touched me on the shoulder and asked if I was still with the living.

"No," I simply answered and put the amulet on.

The shape of the merkabah seemed to expand around me… and then we were in a different place. It looked like an underground installation of some kind. I noticed for the first time that MoSh was with us. Q handed him some small gems. He said they were white energy bombs as a response to the dark energy bombs. He said they would go off and deplete any supply of dark energy in the area. He said it was actually quite a bit friendlier than the dark energy bombs left at the wedding, but giving the Templars extra dark energy would not be productive. MoSh took some of them. A mew flew from behind MoSh and took more of them. The two of them disappeared.

"Nomad?" Q said. But Nomad was gone. I wondered where he had gone. Had he woken up? I heard someone scream down the hall. Q rolled his eyes. "So much for a stealth operation…" he said. He turned to me. "Ok. We need to set up a shield around this place so they can't astral project from here. The idea was to make it undetectable. Make them think they were still doing it while showing them a contained dream world. But I think Nomad may have blown our cover. We'll still try it, but it probably won't work now. A special merkabah shield should do the trick. Use your amulet. I'll guide you.

I focused on the amulet. A glowing merkabah shape formed outside of it and started growing. I heard more screaming from the direction Nomad had gone… and something about don't fuck with the moon people. Q rolled his eyes but we kept focusing on the merkabah amulet. The merkabah field grew until it didn't fit in the room and then it was no longer visible. But I could still feel it. Finally it seemed to lock in place.

"Might someone get locked away from their body?" I asked Q.

"No," Q said, "It will let anyone currently outside back in, but not out again. And it won't let outsiders in, either. It's time for us to get out of here. He snapped his fingers.

We were back in the biodome. I saw Batman sarcastically complimenting Nomad on his stealth. Everything around me faded to black and I woke.
